The Rams enter the game off a 37-27 win over Sacred Heart in the first round of the NCAA FCS championship last Saturday on Jack Coffey Field.
 
With the win, Fordham went to 12-1 on the season, winning 12 games for the first time in the modern era (since 1920) and won its first ever NCAA FCS Championship game on Jack Coffey Field.
 
On the field, the Fordham offense has been prolific and has what appears to be an NCAA Division I football first as the Rams have a 4,000-yard passer, three 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000-yard running back, something no other team has ever accomplished.
 
The Fordham offense has set school single season records for most points (498) and most total yards (6,788) in a season, surpassing the former scoring record of 418 and the former total yardage mark of 5,377, both set by the 2003 squad.
 
Individually, junior quarterback Mike Nebrich has completed 316 completions for 3,986 yards, both school records. He betters John Skelton's previous records of 284 completions and 3,708 yard set in 2009. The three scoring strike brings Nebrich's total to 31, adding to his new season mark as he surpassed Mark Carney's  2001 record of 27 earlier this year while the Fordham offense increased its school record for passing yards to 4,658.
 
Nebrich, a finalist for the Walter Payton Award as the NCAA FCS player of the year, leads the NCAA FCS in completion percentage (.735) and is second in passing efficiency (171.9), third in total offense (372.3 yards/game) and fourth in passing yards/game (332.2 yards/game).
 
Junior wide receiver Sam Ajala caught seven passes against Sacred Heart for 128 yards to bring his season marks to 85 catches for 1,526 yards as he surpassed Javarus Dudley's former school record of 1,439 receiving set in 2003.  He leads the NCAA FCS with his 1,526 receiving yards and is fourth in receiving yards/game (117.4).
 
Joining the 1,000-yard receiving yards club for the second straight season last Saturday was junior Brian Wetzel, who had 73 receiving yards to bring his season total to 1,008, becoming just the second player in Fordham history to record back-to-back 1,000 yard receiving seasons. He joins teammates Tebucky Jones,. Jr. and Ajala with 1,000 receiving yards this year, the first time in school history the Rams have had three 1,000-yard receivers in the same year.
 
Senior running back Carlton Koonce gained 96 yards on 26 carries in the game and now has 1,436 rushing yards in 2013 while junior kicker Michael Marando converted four PATs to add to his school record for PATs in a season which stands at 59, and he booted three field goals to bring his season total to 19, the second best single season in school history, behind Patrick Murray, who kicked 25 last fall.
 
Defensively, junior linebacker Stephen Hodge leads the Rams with 118 total tackles, 91 solo, including 16 for loss and five sacks. He leads the NCAA FCS in solo tackles (7.0/game) and he leads the Patriot League in tackles for loss.
 
Fordham's success this fall comes just two years after the Rams went 1-10 during the 2011 season.
