Last time out
After a scoreless first quarter, No. 2
Kennesaw State dealt visiting Campbell a 49-0 loss behind 395 rushing yards. Campbell was shut out for the first time in 50 games (66-0 at Appalachian State, Sept. 6, 2014). The matchup stands as the highest-ranked opponent the Camels have faced in their 11-season Division I era, and their third top-25 foe overall.
Big crowds in the Creek
A record crowd of
6,712 attended Campbell's Homecoming matchup and Big South home debut against Gardner-Webb. Four of the five largest crowds in Barker-Lane Stadium history have come on the last four homecoming dates, including 6,691 in 2017.
The greater than capacity crowd accounted for Barker-Lane Stadium's 16th sellout since the facility was expanded to 5,500 seats in 2013, and third of 2018. Campbell has averaged a sellout in each of the past two seasons, joining only Montana State and Mercer as one of three programs in FCS to accomplish the feat. Barker-Lane Stadium has set an overall attendance record in two straight, and five of the last six seasons.
