SENIOR SATURDAY
Prior to Saturday's game, the Mountain Lion football program and head coach Cody Edwards will honor four seniors: offensive linemen Aidan Parsons and Antonio Smith, linebacker Brodee Rice and long  snapper Aaron Tate. Parsons, the career active leader in starts at CU, has started in 32 games over his four years as a Mountain Lion. The Tuscaloosa, Alabama native has played each guard spot, center and this season started four games at right tackle. Smith, a two-year starter along the offensive line after transferring from Judson University, has started all but one game this season at left tackle. Overall, the Miami, Florida native has started 19 games in the Maroon and Gray. Rice, a native of Princeton, West Virginia, has started 21 games over his career with 41 career appearance. He is CU's active leading tackler with 157 career stops. And Tate is a two-year long snapper for Concord after transferring from Glenville State. The Hurricane, West Virginia native has been instrumental in sophomore punter Zach Moyer being All-MEC Honorable Mention last season as well as freshman kicker Christian Torres leading the MEC in made field goals (12) this fall.

MILESTONES AHEAD
Looking at some potential records and milestones for Concord this weekend, the Maroon and Gray has a chance to clinch just its fourth eight-win season over the last the 15 seasons—other eight-win seasons include 2013, 2014 and 2022. Individually, graduate quarterback Devin Kargman needs 76 yards to become the fourth quarterback in program history to throw for 3,000 yards in a single season. The other three are Brian Novak (3,739 yards in 2014), Jack Mangel (3,667 in 2022) and Zack Grossi (3,216 in 2010). Kargman is also vying to become the 14th quarterback in the history of the MEC with a 3,000-yard season. Sophomore Dom Collins enters Saturday needing 129 receiving yards to reach 2,000 for his career. If he does reach the milestone, he would the eighth pass catcher in program history with 2,000 yards. Additionally, Collins starts the weekend with a 182-yard lead in the MEC for the top spot. Collins has 1,292 yards this year.

DOMINANT D
The CU defense, coupled with the offense, is seeking to end the year with a turnover margin greater than +5. CU's defense came away with three takeaways at Fairmont State—junior defensive back Darian Anderson and junior linebacker Jonathan Williams each came away with their second interceptions of the season while senior defensive back Elijah Copes jumped on a second-quarter fumble. Concord elevated its turnover margin for the season to +6. If the Mountain Lions finish the year with a turnover margin +5 or greater, it would mark the first time since 2014 that CU had a turnover margin of at least +5.  Last year at Ferrum, the Maroon and Gray had three takeaways, all interceptions, including one each from sophomore defensive back Berlin Campfort and junior defensive back Ar'Terrian Godfrey. And Concord did not turn the ball over itself.

THREE'S COMPANY
All three starting receivers for the Mountain Lions caught a touchdown at Fairmont State. Junior wide receiver Cordale Russell recorded his second multi-touchdown game of the season. Collins hauled in his 15th touchdown of the year while notching his 10th straight game with a touchdown. Additionally, the Princeton, West Virginia native has at least one touchdown in 14 of his 15 career starts at CU. He is now up to 22 career receiving touchdowns which is third among active Division II players. Also at Fairmont State, junior wide receiver Que Moore snagged his first touchdown of the season. Led by the trio of receivers, Kargman is now up to 26 passing touchdowns this season which is tied for fifth most in program history. With four touchdown tosses, Kargman can become the third quarterback at Concord with 30 or more touchdowns in a single season.

BUILDING MOMENTUM
With the conference season behind them, the Mountain Lions can turn their attention towards an eighth win of the season and building for the 2027 season. Concord rolled past Ferrum last season with a 56-34 win. The Maroon and Gray rolled up 471 yards of offense at FC in 2025 which was the second most in a single game last fall. Moore had 106 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the victory. On the ground, the Mountain Lions ran for 212 yards versus the Panthers. Godfrey had his fingerprints all over the game with an interception and a blocked punt that he covered up for a touchdown in the third quarter. Junior defensive back Myles Pratt had two tackles for loss in the contest.

UNDEFEATED OPPORTUNITY
Concord has a chance to finish with a 3-0 record in non-conference games this fall after wins over Davidson (41-35) and Bluefield State (26-22) to start the season. Overall, Mountain East Conference teams are 10-16 in non-conference games this season, and CU is the only team with a chance to finish with a perfect 3-0. With a win over Ferrum, it would be the first time the Mountain Lions finish the non-conference portion of their schedule undefeated, in which they played at least two out-of-league games, since 2010 when CU went 3-0 against Southern Virginia, Lenoir-Rhyne and UNC Pembroke. Saturday is also a chance for the Mountain Lions to win their home finale, a feat that has only been accomplished three times since 2015—in 2015, 2021 and 2022.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
In Concord's 35-24 win at Fairmont State, CU's pass defense only surrendered 155 yards which marked the sixth time in 2026 that the Mountain Lions have allowed fewer than 200 passing yards. Concord ranks fourth in the MEC in passing yards allowed per game this season (208.5). Furthermore with the interceptions by Anderson and Williams, the Maroon and Gray tied West Virginia Wesleyan for the MEC lead in interceptions (12). This week, Concord gets a Ferrum offense that averages 191.8 passing yards per game. The Panthers have only thrown for 200 or more yards in five games this season, and have been held under 100 twice. And FC has thrown four interceptions in the last four games.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS
11- Years between Concord defeating Fairmont State. CU's last win, before Saturday, over FSU was a 27-10 victory in 2015.

17- After a season-high 14 explosive plays against Glenville State, Concord has been held to 17 explosive plays in the last three games.

72- Combined college starts at CU between Parsons, Rice and Smith.

SCOUTING THE PANTHERS
All three of Ferrum's wins this season have been on the road, including pitching a 21-0 shutout at Barton in early October. Rashaud Cherry leads the Panthers' defense with 46 tackles and a pair of interceptions. Like CU, Ferrum's secondary has been stellar as it has recorded 11 interceptions. Quarterback Eli Foutz has 1,867 passing yards and 11 touchdowns, but also nine interceptions. The top target for Foutz is Omarza Gray who has 542 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Brett Tate-Blanks has caught four touchdowns. Jycen Anciso enters Saturday with 672 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground. FC is 0-4 in non-conference games this year.
