Things to Watch For
* Waynesburg may have a chance to play spoiler as Washington & Jefferson is still battling for a spot in the NCAA Division III national playoffs. If they get in, this will be their sixth-straight season in which they went to the tournament.
* Waynesburg quarterback Brad Dawson has a chance to break the school's single-season passing yardage record this weekend. If he throws for 54 yards against the Presidents, he will break Jeff Dumm's mark of 2,534 set in 2004. He could also surpass Dumm for the most touchdown passes in a season. Three scores through the air would tie Dumm's mark of 25, a fourth would give Dawson the record with 26. Finally, Dawson has a shot at moving into fourth place on the school's career passing list. He needs 183 yards for 4,403, which would allow him to pass the “Golden Greek” Harry Theofiledes.
* Saturday's game is part of PAC Rivalry Week. The Waynesburg vs. W&J game has been labeled as the PAC Backyard Brawl. Other games in the week include the 26th Annual Game for the Mercer County Cup between Thiel and Grove City, the Green Game between Saint Vincent and Bethany, Bridge Bowl XIV between PAC champion Thomas More and Mount St. Joseph and “The Game” between Westminster and Geneva.
