SU enters 2013 as the preseason favorite in the PSAC Eastern Division for the first time in history after an 11-2 season in which it reached the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. Seton Hill joined the PSAC this season after spending its first six seasons of football competing in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Griffins finished 0-11 last season and were picked to finish last (eighth) in this season's PSAC Western Division Preseason Coaches Poll.

Shippensburg returns 29 letter-winners, including eight starters on defense, six on offense and its two kicking specialists. Among SU's returners are Harlon Hill Trophy-winning quarterback Zach Zulli, the entire starting secondary and three defensive ends.

Seton Hill returns two 2012 All-WVIAC selections: senior quarterback Andrew Jackson (Honorable Mention, 16 passing touchdowns on the season) and junior linebacker Tyler Zimmer (First Team), a Daktronics First Team All-American who was ranked No. 61 in D2Football.com's Top 100 Division II players.

Game Background

• The Raiders rolled up 504 yards of total offense in a 48-10 victory at Millersville on Saturday to improve to 2-0 in PSAC Eastern Division action so far this season.

• Senior quarterback Zach Zulli threw for five touchdowns to give him 100 on his career, making him just the fourth quarterback in PSAC history to reach 100 career passing scores. Zulli threw for a season-high 353 yards on 28-of-36 passing, good for a 77.8 completion percentage that's the second-highest for a single game in his career.

The Griffins' lone touchdown on the day came on a 23-yard fumble return touchdown by sophomore linebacker Tim Johnson.
