THE GAME
No. 11 Slippery Rock heads north to No. 2 Ferris State for a first-ever meeting with the powerhouse Bulldogs with a spot in the national championship game on the line.
 
SRU AGAINST THE GLIAC
This will mark the first-ever meeting between Slippery Rock and Ferris State in the sport of football. The Rock have met two other teams from the current GLIAC, but have never played Ferris. SRU is 6-2 all-time against the current teams from the GLIAC with the most recent games being four straight wins against Wayne State from 2019-23. SRU is 1-0 against the GLIAC in the NCAA Playoffs, but has not played a GLIAC school in the playoffs since 1998 when The Rock defeated Brian Kelly's Grand Valley State squad, 37-14, in the quarterfinals. SRU is 1-0 against GVSU and 5-2 against Wayne State and has won its last five games against GLIAC opponents.
 
COACHING MATCHUP
Slippery Rock head coach Shawn Lutz is in his 29th overall year at The Rock and his ninth year (eighth season) as head coach, where he owns an 82-20 record with five PSAC West titles and six trips to the NCAA playoffs. Lutz was the PSAC West Coach of the Year in 2018, 2019 and 2023 and was the Don Hansen Football Gazette Division II National Coach of the Year in 2019. The 82 wins are the most among all PSAC head coaches since the 2016 season. Lutz was an assistant at SRU for 20 years before taking over the program in 2016. He has been a member of the coaching staff for 13 of SRU's 20 PSAC West titles. Lutz played tight end at West Virginia University, graduating in 1996, and earned a master's degree in sport management from SRU in 2003.
 
Tony Annese is in his 12th season as the head coach at Ferris State, where he led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national titles in 2021 and 2022. Annese owns a record of 135-21 during his tenure at Ferris and is the program's all-time wins leader. He has led the program to 10 straight NCAA Playoff berths for the longest active streak in the country. That includes six trips to the national semifinals in the last eight seasons and six straight trips to the quarterfinals from 2016-22.
 
NATIONAL RANKINGS
Slippery Rock closed the regular season ranked No. 11 in the AFCA Division II national rankings and No. 12 in the D2football.com media poll. Ferris State was No. 2 in the final AFCA poll and No. 1 in the D2football.com poll. Both national polls are available on page nine.
 
FERRIS STATE QUICK HITS
• Ferris State is 12-1 and is making its sixth trip to the national semifinals in the last eight seasons. The Bulldogs are on a 12-game winning streak after losing their opener to Pittsburg State back in August.
• The Bulldogs took down defending national champion Harding 41-7 in the quarterfinals last week to win Super Region Three.
• Ferris has scored 119 points in two playoff games this year and averages 44.5 points per game to rank second in Division II. FSU ranks third in the nation in total offense averaging 491.5 yards per game with 262.6 rushing yards and 228.8 passing yards per game.
• Opponents score just 11.2 points per game as FSU ranks third in the nation in scoring defense. They allow 245.9 total yards of offense per game with 143.2 passing yards and 102.7 rushing yards allowed per game.
• QB Trinidad Chambliss is one of the eight finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy and may be the most dynamic playmaker in the country. He has thrown for 2,551 yards with 22 TD and five INT while also rushing for 817 yards and a team-high 20 touchdowns.
• RB Kannon Katzer leads the ground game with 866 yards and 10 TD on just 101 carries, averaging 8.6 yards per carry.
• FSU spreads the ball out on offense with six players having at least 20 catches. Emari O'Brien leads the team with 40 catches for 565 yards and four TD. Seven different players have at least two TD catches.
• The FSU defense is led by Iosefa Saipaia with 73 tackles and Jalen Jones with 50 tackles and a team-high 8.0 TFL. Former IUP defensive end Tyrone Fowler has 7.5 TFL and 3.0 sacks for the Bulldogs this year.
• Kicker Mitchell Middleton is 7-of-8 on FG attempts with a long of 45 yards and is 73-of-80 on PAT kicks this year. Ferris has punted only 32 times all year and averages 43.5 yards per punt.

BACK IN THE SEMIFINALS
Slippery Rock returns to the national semifinals for the fourth time in program history and the first time since 2019. The Rock also played in the Division III semifinals in 1974 and have now won three regional titles – 1998, 2019 and 2024. SRU has never advanced past the national semifinals, losing to Ithaca in 1974 (27-14), Carson-Newman in 1998 (47-27) and Minnesota State in 2019 (58-15).
 
REVENGE TOUR
Slippery Rock's run through the playoffs this year included road wins in the last two rounds over the only two teams that have beaten SRU in the last two years. The Rock lost twice to Kutztown in 2023 – once in the PSAC title game and again in the NCAA Quarterfinals – and lost their only regular season game since 2022 earlier this fall against California (28-7). SRU went on the road to a heavily-favored Kutztown team and knocked off the No.1 seeded Golden Bears in round two and then dismantled No. 3 seed California (Pa.) 31-13 last week.
 
ONLY SEEDED WIN IN QUARTERFINALS
Slippery Rock is the only team in the semifinals to win their quarterfinal last week against a seeded team. All of the other super region finals included at least one unseeded team.
 
UPSETTING THE TOP SEED AGAIN
Slippery Rock has upset the undefeated No. 1 seed in the second round of the playoffs in each of the last two years. Last fall, The Rock went to 11-0 Tiffin in the second round and came away with a win. This year, SRU followed that up by going on the road to 11-0 Kutztown and upsetting the Golden Bears.
 
WHO'S LEFT?
The top two overall seeds are still alive and enter this weekend as heavy favorites to reach the national title game with the Super Region Two No. 1 seed Valdosta State earning the No. 1 overall seed. The Blazers will host unseeded Minnesota State, which claimed the Super Region Four title with three dramatic wins. The other top seed, and perhaps the best the team in the country this year, is Super Region Three champion Ferris State, which drew the No. 2 seed in the semifinals because of a loss in week one back in August. Super Region One champion Slippery Rock, which was the No. 4 seed in the region, drew the No. 3 seed in the semis.
 
TOUGHEST TEST IN SRU HISTORY
Ferris State is likely to be the most heavily-favored team Slippery Rock will face in program history. The Bulldogs are on an historic run that includes national titles in 2021 and 2022 and they haven't just been beating teams this year, they've been blowing the doors off teams. In two playoff games, Ferris has scored 78 points and 41 points to win the toughest region in the country. Last week, they dismantled the defending national champions from Harding by a 41-7 score, a margin unheard of for the Harding program in recent years.
 
TEAMS WITH ONE OR FEWER LOSSES
Slippery Rock and Ferris State enter this week tied for the second-best record in all of Division II trailing only Valdosta State (12-0). The Rock are one of five teams with one loss or fewer with Valdosta State and Ferris State being the only other teams in that grouping to still be in the playoffs. Kutztown and Charleston both lost their first playoff game following an 11-0 regular season to finish with 11-1 records.
 
12-WIN SEASON
The Rock have won at least 12 games for the second year in a row and the fifth time in program history. The 12-1 record is tied for the second-most wins in a season in program history, trailing only the 2019 team (13-1) for the most wins in season. All five of SRU's 12-win seasons have come since 1998 with four of the five coming since 2015. 1998 (12-2), 2015 (12-2), 2019 (13-1), 2023 (12-2), 2024 (12-1).
 
LUTZ FASTEST TO 80 WINS IN SRU HISTORY
SRU head coach Shawn Lutz enters this week with 82 wins in 102 career games, moving him into sole possession of No. 3 all-time at SRU and No. 14 all-time in PSAC history. Lutz is the fastest coach in program history to 80 wins and has more wins than any other coach in the PSAC since he took over the program in 2016. Only two men have more wins in SRU football history and those two men have their names on the stadium – George Mihalik (197) and N. Kerr Thompson (126).
 
BACK IN THE PLAYOFFS
Slippery Rock is making its 12th overall appearance in the Division II Playoffs, its sixth straight appearance and its ninth trip to the national playoffs in the last 11 seasons. The Rock reached the NCAA quarterfinals last year as the No. 4 seed after defeating East Stroudsburg in the opening round and winning on the road at No. 1 seed Tiffin in the second round before falling to Kutztown in the quarterfinals.
 
PLAYOFF STREAK
Slippery Rock's six straight trips to the playoffs rank as the second longest active streak among all Division II teams, trailing only the 10 straight appearances by Ferris State.
 
SRU IN ROAD PLAYOFF GAMES
This marks the fourth straight year SRU will play at least one NCAA Playoff game on the road. The Rock are 4-2 on the road in the playoffs over the last four seasons, which includes road wins at the No. 1 seed in each of the last two years. SRU is 6-8 all-time on the road in the NCAA Division II Playoffs with all six of those wins coming during The Rock's current streak of six consecutive playoff appearances. SRU is 3-0 on the road in the playoffs over the last two seasons.
 
SRU IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS
SRU has been ranked in every national poll since the final poll of the 2018 season was released. This week's game will be the 67th straight game SRU plays as a ranked team. The Rock have appeared in the top 10 in the national rankings for at least one week in each of the last five seasons and have earned a top 10 ranking in seven of the last eight complete seasons.
 
WINNING WITH LOWER SCORES
The Rock have yet to reach 40 points in a game this fall. SRU had 10 games with at least 40 points in 2023 and have at least one 40-point game in each of the last 19 seasons. The last season SRU failed to score 40 points in a single game was 2003 during a 4-7 campaign.
 
SENIOR CLASS SUCCESS
The four-year members of the SRU senior class enter this week with a career record of 43-9 with three PSAC West titles and four trips to the NCAA Playoffs. The five-year members of this senior class own a career record of 56-10 with four PSAC West titles and five trips to the NCAA Playoffs. The senior class will depart SRU having played in the NCAA Playoffs in every year of their career. They are the only senior class in program history to be able to make that claim.
 
LAST WEEK FOR SLIPPERY ROCK
Slippery Rock scored touchdowns on its first two possessions and never looked back on the way to a convincing 31-13 win at California (Pa.) to claim the regional title. The Rock ran for a season-high 245 yards and did not turn the ball over once on the way to putting up 399 total yards of offense. SRU also limited Cal's potent offense and PSAC West Offensive Player of the Year Davis Black to just 90 passing yards. SRU sacked Black three times with one of those from Todd Hill resulting in a lost fumble. Brayden Long was 17-of-21 for 154 yards with three TD, no INT and no sacks. Logan Ramper (2 TD) and Mike Solomon (1 TD) each had 73 receiving yards and Idris Lawrence had the best rushing game by an SRU player in more than four years with 162 yards on the ground. Hill finished wth two sacks and Andrew Vince added 10 tackles and a sack to pace the defense.
 
GROUND AND POUND
Slippery Rock ran for just 10 yards on 12 carries in a loss at California (Pa.) Oct. 19. The Rock then ran for less than 100 yards in each of the first two rounds of the NCAA Playoffs. SRU flipped the script last week and ran for a season-high 245 yards for an average of 6.1 yards per carry. Idris Lawrence did the bulk of that work with 162 yards on 23 carries for 7.0 yards per carry. It marked the first 150+ yard rushing game for an SRU RB since Charles Snorweah ran for 163 yards against Shepherd Nov. 30, 2019. Chris D'Or also ran for 42 yards and one TD.
 
GIVE THE BIG GUYS SOME LOVE
SRU lost four starting offensive linemen to graduation last year, bringing back only tackle Joe Cooper. That unit was the biggest question entering this season and they've stepped up all year, despite only Cooper earning any postseason recognition with a first team All-PSAC and first team All-Region nod. Nathan Waltman, Luke Pugliese, Cade Cameron and Marshall Futrell have joined Cooper in starting every game this year with none of them missing more than a handful of snaps. They rank seventh nationally in fewest tackles for loss allowed per game and 14th nationally in fewest sacks per game allowed. QB Brayden Long was not sacked last week against Cal, marking the eighth game this season in which he has not been sacked. That unit also paved the way for the best rushing performance of the season with 245 yards last week.
 
BUSY WEEK FOR BRAYDEN LONG
QB Brayden Long had to miss practice Monday and Tuesday this week, but for good reason. He had to fly to Las Vegas to attend the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Awards dinner Tuesday night. Long is one of 16 national finalists for the William V. Campbell Trophy, the top scholar-athlete prize in college football. He is the only Division II finalist for the award this year and will join major names in the game on stage Tuesday in Vegas, including Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel, Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart and Alabama QB Jalen Milroe, who are all finalists for same award. Long will attend film sessions and team meetings Monday virtually, will miss practice Tuesday, and will be back in Slippery Rock for practice Wednesday.
 
FINALIST FOR THE HARLON HILL TROPHY
QB Brayden Long is one of the eight national finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy that goes to the Division II Player of the Year. Long is the first two-time finalist in SRU history after also being a finalist in 2023, when he finished fifth in the final voting. He is the only player in the country to be a finalist for both the Harlon Hill and the Campbell Trophy.
 
LONG HITS MILESTONES IN QUARTERFINAL
QB Brayden Long became the first QB in program history with two separate 3,000-yard seasons after topping the 3,000-yard mark last week. He is one of only six men in SRU history to throw for 3,000 yards in a season. Long also became the fourth QB in program history to reach 7,000 career passing yards and the second QB in SRU history with two seasons of 3,000+ total yards of offense, joining 2019 Harlon Hill Trophy winner Roland Rivers III from 2018 and 2019. He also became the first QB in SRU history with 600 completions in a career.
 
LONG MOVING UP CAREER YARDAGE LIST
Despite only being the starter for the last two seasons, Brayden Long is up to fourth all-time at SRU with 7,129 passing yards. He enters this week needing 52 more yards to move up to No. 3 all-time, 238 more yards to move up to No. 2 all-time and 505 yards to become the all-time career record holder.
 
LONG OWNS CAREER RECORDS IN TWO YEARS
QB Brayden Long already owns the SRU all-time career record for completion percentage (67.3%) and completions by a QB (604). He ranks second in passing TD (61), third in attempts (897), fourth in passing yards (7,129) and fourth in total offense (7,255).
 
BRAYDEN LONG IN THE PLAYOFFS
QB Brayden Long has played in six NCAA Playoff games in his career and is 5-1 while going 135-of-190 (71%) for 1,459 yards with seven TD passes and one INT in those games. All six of his playoff performances rank in the top 10 in SRU history for the highest completion percentage in an NCAA Playoff game, including his SRU playoff record 81% that he set last week against California (Pa.) when he was 17-of-21 for 154 yards with three TD and no INT. His worst passing performance in the playoffs is 61.8% in the 14-7 win over New Haven in round one this year.
 
KICK IT TO KYLON
WR and return specialist Kylon Wilson moved up to No. 2 in single-season kick return yards with 710, trailing only his own record of 793 set last year. He now ranks 1-2 all-time at SRU in single-season totals and fourth all0time with 1,503 kick return yards. He needs just 348 more to become all-time career leader.
 
MUNCHIE MOVING UP TFL LIST
DT Munchie Johnson added another TFL to his career tally last week to bring him to 41.5 TFL, moving him up to sole possession of No. 7 all-time at The Rock.
 
STOKES AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS
DB Josh Stokes tallied two more pass breakups last week and now has 35 career passes defended to move up to No. 7 all-time at SRU. This fall, Stokes leads The Rock with 15 pass breakups, which ranks third in Division II. He also ranks first in Division II this fall with three fumble recoveries.
 
HILL A FORCE IN PLAYOFFS
DE Todd Hill has a been the best defensive player on the field in each of the last two rounds of the playoffs. He had eight tackles, 1.5 TFL and two QB hurries in the win over Kutztown and followed that up with two sacks, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery against California (Pa.). He became the first SRU player since Marcus Martin and Teven Williams in 2015 against Shepherd to have at least 2.0 sacks in a playoff game. His 2.0 sacks were the second most in SRU history in an NCAA Playoff game, trailing only the 2.5 by Martin against Shepherd in 2015.
 
HILL NAMED FINALIST FOR UPSHAW AWARD
DE Todd Hill is one of the eight national finalists for the Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year award this year. He gives SRU a finalist for the fifth straight year and the ninth time in the last 10 seasons. Hill was also named the PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year and picked up first team All-PSAC and All-Region selections. Hill currently leads The Rock defense with 76 total tackles, 16.5 TFL, 8.5 sacks, 13 QB hurries, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one safety. 
 
RAMPING IT UP IN THE PLAYOFFS
WR Logan Ramper missed half of the season with an injury. Since returning to the lineup, he has changed the SRU passing attack and made SRU much harder to defend in the passing game. Last week he caught four passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns. The week before at Kutztown, he caught a career-high nine passes for 120 yards with one TD and the game-tying 2-point conversion to force overtime. That followed a career-high 123 yards in the opening round against New Haven, which was the first 100-yard game of his career. In three playoff games, Ramper has 19 catches for 316 yards and three TD. He is averaging 105.3 yards and one TD per game in the postseason.
 
NDC TEAMMATES COMING UP BIG
Slippery Rock added two late transfer portal additions last year after the news that Notre Dame College (Ohio) was closing its doors. The Rock took in running back Idris Lawrence and receiver Mike Solomon from that program and that move has paid dividends all year. They combined for 236 yards last week against California (Pa.) with Lawrence rushing for 162 yards and Solomon grabbing a season-high seven passes for 73 yards and one score. They also combined on the two-point conversion to win the game against Kutztown in round two with Solomon pitching to Lawrence on the hook-and-lateral for the winning points.
 
LAWRENCE CLOSING IN ON 4,000 YARDS
RB Idris Lawrence enters this game with 3,980 career rushing yards, which ranks fifth among all active players in Division II and first among all players still in the playoffs. Lawrence is averaging 92.6 rushing yards per game over 43 career games, which ranks ninth among all players in Division II.  His 5.7 yards per carry over 695 rushes ranks 13th best in Division II.
 
RUNNING BACK TANDEM
SRU's running back duo of Chris D'Or and Idris Lawrence have combined for 1,650 rushing yards and 432 receiving yards through the first 13 games, accounting for 160.2 yards of offense per game. Lawrence is averaging 5.5 yards per carry on 169 touches with D'Or averaging 4.8 yards per carry on 151 touches. More importantly, they're both healthy thanks to splitting the role this year. They have combined for 6,567 career rushing yards at the Division II level with Lawrence ranked fifth among active players and D'Or (2,587) ranked 18th.
 
KRUZELYAK PASS CATCHING STREAK
TE Kam Kruzelyak has caught at least one pass in 25 straight games. He ranked third on the team in catches with 46 grabs for 465 yards in 2023 and is third on the team with 40 catches for 327 yards and four scores this year.
 
FASTEST MAN IN THE PSAC
PSAC 100-meter champion and SRU 100-meter record holder Kanye Thompson (10.27 seconds) starts at cornerback and handles punt return duties. His 10.27-second 100m time is the second fastest in PSAC history and the fastest time run by any male at any school in the PSAC in nearly 30 years. He had the 13th fastest 100m time in D2 in 2024.
 
MUNCHIE MAKES 52ND CAREER START
DT Munchie Johnson's 52 consecutive starts are the most by any player currently playing in the PSAC and his 52 career games played are the sixth most among all active players in Division II. Ferris State linebacker Jason Williams (53) and Johnson have played more games at the Division II level than any other player in the semifinals this weekend.
 
DEFENSIVE LINE TOP TACKLERS ON TEAM
Three of the top four tacklers on the SRU roster in terms of total tackles this year are defensive linemen. All-Region players Todd Hill and Munchie Johnson have combined for 30.5 TFL, 12.0 sacks and 140 total tackles. Trever Valenti is fourth on the team with 57 total stops and John Brown is not far back with 38 stops and 6.0 TFL. The four starters have combined for 235 total tackles, 41.0 TFL, 16.0 sacks, 21 QB hurries, three forced fumbles, two recoveries, one interception and one safety.
 
VINCE PLAYING HIS BEST FOOTBALL
LB Andrew Vince started 14 games at defensive end last fall in his first season at SRU. He made the move back to his natural position at linebacker this year, but missed much of the season dealing with injuries. Vince made his first start at the linebacker position against New Haven and tallied a career-high 14 tackles, the second-most in any NCAA playoff game by an SRU player. He added five stops at Kutztown and then had 10 more and a sack against California (Pa.). In three playoff starts, Vince has 29 tackles and has been the top tackler on the team in two of the three games.
 
SECONDARY SHUTS DOWN CAL PASSING GAME
Slippery Rock's secondary helped to shut down a potent Cal passing attack and limit the Vulcans to just 90 passing yards last week. Led by 2023 All-Americans Josh Stokes (CB) and Eddie Faulkner IV (S), the secondary has combined for 39 passes defended this year. Stokes ranks third nationally with 15 breakups. Safety Michael Henwood is the No. 2 tackler on the team with 66 stops, a team-high three picks and nine passes defended. Faulkner has six breakups to go with 6.0 TFL, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Safety Pooh Lawton has a pair of picks and six passes defended and corner Kanye Thompson has three pass breakups and 25 tackles.
 
FRESHMAN TRACKER
Slippery Rock rarely plays true freshmen during their first year on the roster. This year, Division II allows freshmen to play in three games without using a year of eligibility. SRU has played six freshmen defensive players in DE Jett Franz (2 games), DT Amare Harper (1 game), DT Sincere Shannon (2 games), DB Gavin Lutz (3 games), DB/LB Carmen Metcalfe (3 games) and DB/LB Kwalil Shepperson (6 games) while playing one offensive freshman in TE Lou Swartz (1 game). So far, only Shepperson has used a season of eligibility.
 
WE'VE PLAYED A LOT OF FOOTBALL
Slippery Rock has played 80 games since the beginning of the 2018 season, which is the most games played among all Super Region One schools. The Rock are averaging an impressive 11.25 wins per year over the last five full seasons and 10.25 wins per season under head coach Shawn Lutz.
 
CAPTAINS
SRU has named six captains for the 2024 season with two on offense, three on defense and one on special teams. The offensive captains are QB Brayden Long and TE Kam Kruzelyak. The defensive captains are DT Munchie Johnson, DB Eddie Faulkner IV and DB Josh Stokes. The special teams captain is LS Josh George. Long, Kruzelyak and Johnson are all two-time captains after serving as captains in 2022 as well.
 
WINNING SEASONS STREAK
Slippery Rock has put together a winning season in each of the last 15 years, which ranks ninth among all Division II programs for the longest active winning seasons streak in the country. The only other program in the PSAC with more consecutive winning seasons currently is California (Pa.), which has strung together 20 winning seasons after extending their streak this year as well.

UP NEXT
The winner of this week's game will advance to the national championship Dec. 21 in McKinney, Texas.
