(21-0), Capital (27-14) and Rochester (44-7).
Head coach Brad Rzyczycki's club has out-scored its first two opponents 71-7. It represents the largest scoring difference during the first two games in school history. Last week's 48-0 win at Cheyney was the largest margin of victory in school history.
