CAMELS RECEIVING TOP-25 VOTES
For the fourth straight week, Campbell is receiving votes in the FCS Top-25.

The Camels received seven votes in this week's Stats Perform FCS Top-25 Poll, one of 10 squads earning votes in the national rankings. CU also earned a vote in last week's AFCA FCS Coaches' Top 25 Poll for the first time this season.

This is the fourth different season that the Camels have received top-25 votes, also picking up tallies in 2011, 2018 and 2019.

Campbell received votes for a program record six straight weeks in 2019 between the Stats Perform and AFCA Coaches' polls. CU was also named an honorable mention FedEx Ground FCS National Team of the Week from Stats Perform earlier this season after topping previously unbeaten North Carolina Central.

PETERSEN AGAIN NAMED BIG SOUTH SPECIALIST OF THE WEEK
For the second time in three weeks, Campbell's Corey Petersen has been named Big South Special Teams Player of the Week.

Petersen punted a season-high seven times for 285 yards (40.7 yards per punt) at top-10 ranked Jackson State. The Traralgon, Australia native pinned the Tigers inside the 20 three times, including once on a game-long of 46 yards. Petersen has averaged 40 or more yards per punt in four straight games, and five times this season.

The graduate student was also named Big South specialist of the week on October 10 following the Camels' homecoming win over Charleston Southern. He was also recently named to the FCS Punter of the Year Watch List.

On the season, Petersen is averaging 40.9 yards per punt with 10 punts downed inside the 20, plus five fair catches and four 50-plus yard boots.

ALLEN EYES RECORDS
Brevin Allen became Campbell's all-time tackles for loss leader in the Camels' win over Robert Morris, passing Jack Ryan's (2015-18) 36.5 TFLs. The 2021 All-American also tied CU's career sacks record of 20.5, shared with Ugonna Awuruonye (2013-15).

Allen posted three sacks along with an interception in the first half alone of Campbell's win over RMU. The redshirt senior's 3.0 sacks marked a career high, and tied for the second most in a single game in school history. The interception was the first of the defensive end's career. While owning three of Campbell's six sacks on the day, Allen, a Greensboro, N.C. product, helped the Camels limit RMU to just 188 total yards, a season low for the CU defense, including only eight rushing yards, tied for the second-lowest ground total allowed in its Division I era (since 2008). CU gave up just three rushing yards in a 39-9 win at Davidson in 2015.

SPECIAL TEAMS BEING SPECIAL
Through seven games, Camels have been named Big South Special Teams Player of the Week five times.

All in different special teams units, place kicker Caleb Dowden was named the league's player of the week after kicking three field goals in CU's opener, and returner Josh McNeely followed with weekly honors following the Camels' trip to nationally-ranked William & Mary.

After scoring a touchdown on a blocked punt against NC Central, Jalen Kelsey was also honored. Finally, punter Corey Petersen was named the week six and week eight conference player of the week. He has also named to the FCS Punter of the Year Watch List.

In addition to Campbell's special teams honors, Dowden has already tied the CU single season record for field goals with 10 (Colin Gary, 2019).

HOME SWEET HOME
Following a 41-10 win over Robert Morris, Campbell remains unbeaten at 4-0 at home at Barker-Lane Stadium this season. Campbell has led in 15 of its 16 quarters at home, outscoring opponents a combined 152-66.

In four home games, Campbell has rushed for 901 yards, averaging 225.3 yards per game on the ground with 10 touchdowns. The Camels ran for a season-high 315 yards with five TDs against NC Central, following up that performance with 199 yards rushing and two scores against Charleston Southern.

CU's homecoming game against CSU also marked the 24^th sellout in Barker-Lane Stadium history (since 2008), and its first of the 2022 season.

Meanwhile, on the road, Campbell is 0-3 so far this season.

NEXT UP
Campbell wraps up a three game road stretch, heading to new Big South member Bryant on November 5. The Camels return home for their home finale on November 12 against Gardner-Webb for the 2022 North Carolina East/West Barbecue Bowl and Senior Day.
