The Matchup--
The Westminster football team travels to Cameron Stadium Saturday to take on W&J... It is Homecoming weekend in Washington, Pa. ... Westminster is coming off a 52-0 shutout of Bethany... Last week W&J beat Hiram 70-13... Saturday's game will air in the Pittsburgh market on KDKA+ and will be simulcast on KDKA.com and the CBS News Pittsburgh streaming service... In last year's 21-14 loss to W&J, Brite Cannon blocked a punt and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown... Lamont Austin made a pair of tackles, had one tackle for loss and intercepted Jacob Pugh in the third quarter for his first career interception... Ricky Cooper finished with six tackles.

Scouting W&J--
W&J's win at Hiram last Saturday marked the second time in program history the Presidents scored 70 points on the road... The first was a 72-0 shutout at West Virginia in 1891 (the same year Dr. James Naismith introduced basketball to students at the Springfield YMCA Training School in Massachusetts)... Kobe Derosa, the PAC Offensive Player of the Week, had four touchdowns in the win... W&J's defense created 15.0 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks and five interceptions...
