HERE for all the "Things to Know" for Saturday's matchup with the Terriers, presented by Citizens Bank.
PEYTON PREPARING TO REACH 1K RUSHING YARDS - Leading the charge in last week's game against Samford was
TJ Peyton with 89 yards on 21 carries and a touchdown. Peyton, who continues to be the SoCon leader in All-Purpose Yards per game (126.5), needs just 51 more rushing yards to become the eighth ETSU running back to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, joining Quay Holmes (twice), Jacob Saylors (twice), Brandon Walker (twice), George Searcy, Gaven Varner, Brian Edwards, and
Devontae Houston.
JUST ANOTHER TD FOR JASON ALBRITTON - Fellow running back
Jason Albritton also had an efficient day with 45 yards on eight carries and a touchdown last Saturday. That touchdown was Albritton's tenth of the season. Albritton is just the sixth Buc to reach double-digit rushing touchdowns in a season, as did Brandon Walker (three times), Quay Holmes (twice), Jacob Saylors (twice),
Devontae Houston, and George Searcy.
COUNTING UP THE COMPLETIONS FOR MIMS - With 16 completions against Samford last week, quarterback
Mason Mims is up to 186 completions in 2026. His total is tied with ETSU Hall of Famer Mark Hutsell (1979) for the fourth-most in a single season in program history. Greg Ryan holds the top two spots with 237 completions in 1996 and 229 in 1997, while Tyler Riddell ranks third with 211 in 2021.
ETSU WITH EIGHT POSSIBLE WINS - With one more win, the Bucs will reach seven wins for three consecutive seasons for the first time in the history of the program. Additionally, if ETSU wins at Wofford and Mercer to close out the regular season, the 2026 squad will join 1969 (10 wins), 1996 (10 wins), 2018 (eight wins), and 2021 (11 wins) Buccaneer teams to win eight or more games in a season.
ABOUT WOFFORD - Wofford will welcome ETSU to Spartanburg this Saturday, with a 5-5 overall record that includes a 3-4 mark in SoCon play. Offensively, the Terriers are led by running back Gerald Modest Jr. Wofford's tailback became the SoCon's first rusher to reach 1,000 rushing yards this season on Saturday vs. Western Carolina. Modest Jr. is averaging 4.9 yards per carry and has scored eight touchdowns in 2026.
SERIES REWIND AGAINST THE TERRIERS - Saturday will be the 34th all-time meeting between the Bucs and Terriers. Thanks to three consecutive wins, ETSU now holds the edge in the series, 17-16. During the winning streak, ETSU has held the Terriers to 10 points or fewer in each victory. If the Bucs win on Saturday, it'll be the first time ETSU has won four straight against Wofford since 1962-1966, when it won five in a row.
