LORETTO, Pa. – The Saint Francis football team welcomes Sacred Heart on Saturday for Homecoming.  Kickoff is at Noon at DeGol Field, with a live stream on NEC Front Row.  Before the Red Flash turns its attention to the Pioneers, let's take a look back at the 26-24 loss at Bryant.
 
Notes from Bryant
- In the comeback that spanned the end of the third quarter and the fourth quarter, the Red Flash scored 21 unanswered points.  It marked the fourth time this season that SFU has scored 21 points in a half and the third game in a row.
- The Red Flash topped 300 total yards for the fourth time this season and the third consecutive game.  SFU also outgained its opponent for the fourth time this year.
- One of the biggest plays of the second half came on special teams as Robert Miller (Coral Springs, Fla./Taravella) blocked a punt in the fourth quarter.  The Red Flash recovered with good field position and took advantage for its second touchdown of the game to pull within eight points.  It was SFU's first blocked punt since September 27, 2014 vs. Virginia-Lynchburg when Semo Sila (Honolulu, Hawaii /Farrington) got the block.
- After dealing with an injury for a few games, Khairi Dickson (Cleveland, Ohio/Cleveland Central Catholic) is back to his #Khairidiculous form.  Dickson has four touchdowns in his last three games and has topped 100 yards in consecutive games for the first time this year. 
- Dickson totaled 130 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries.  It marked Dickson's 13th career 100-yard game.  He also added a career-high 67 receiving yards on four catches. 
- In four career games vs. Bryant, Dickson totaled 491 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 76 carries for an average of 6.5 yards per carry.
- Dickson played a big role in the Red Flash's comeback attempt.  During SFU's first TD drive, which ended with a 16-yard run by Dickson, the Cleveland native totaled 77 yards on four carries, all out of the wildcat formation, including a 41-yard run.  On the Red Flash's final scoring drive, Dickson caught a swing pass out of the backfield and broke free for a 42-yard gain down to the Bryant 15.  Dickson added his second score of the day with a five-yard TD run out of the wildcat.
- Zack Drayer (Hershey, Pa./Hershey ) had 259 yards passing on Saturday, a game after a career-high 292 yards vs. Wagner.  Drayer already has three games over 200 yards passing after only having two in 2014. 
- For the second straight game, Drayer did not throw an interception.  Since a second quarter interception vs. ETSU, Drayer has not thrown a pick in his last 75 attempts, with five touchdowns among those attempts.
- Four of Drayer's receivers topped 50 yards on the day.
- In two conference games, Daniel Adams (Washington, D.C./Northwestern) has made a big impact among the receiving corps.  After a career-best 97 receiving yards vs. Wagner, Adams had a career-high eight catches against Bryant for 78 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
- Terell Smith (West Haverstraw, N.Y./North Rockland) added seven catches for 60 yards, including a key 10-yard reception on SFU's final scoring drive. Smith has six or more catches in five of six games this season. 
- After battling through an injury to begin the season, Anthony Abeid (Youngstown, Ohio/Youngstown Christian) had two key catches, totaling 57 yards.  In the first quarter, Abeid had a 43-yard reception to setup a Lance Geesey (Harrisburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) field goal.  In the fourth quarter, Abeid hauled in a 14-yard reception on SFU's second TD drive.
- Defensively, junior Solomon Leaeno (Kapolei, Hawaii/James Campbell) recorded a season-high seven tackles, including 1.5 for loss.  Lorenzo Jerome (Sunrise, Fla./J.P. Taravella), Max Ma'afala-Maiava (Pearl City, Hawaii/Aiea ) and Semo Sila (Honolulu, Hawaii /Farrington) each had six stops.  Delondo Boyd (Indian Head, Md./Henry E. Lackey) made his team-leading third interception of the season to go with three tackles, including 1.5 for loss.
- Geesey hit a 32-yard field goal in the first quarter, the 37th make of his career.  With 46 career attempts, Geesey has connected on 80.4 percent.
- Freshman Andrew Zecca (Berkeley Heights, N.J./Gov. Livingston) has taken over the main punting duties and averaged 37.3 yards per kick on seven punts on Saturday, including a long of 54 and placing four inside the 20.
