Margraff is JHU's all-time leader in games won (113) and coached (185) and he enters the game with a career record of 113-69-3 (.619). More information about Jim Margraff can be found on the second page of this week's game notes.
The Dean of Centennial Conference head coaches, Barry Streeter is now in his 29th season as the head coach at Gettysburg. Streeter sports an all-time record of 147-144-5 and has guided the Bullets to three Centennial Conference Championships. He is the all-time winningest coach in league history (by victories) with an 80-81-3 all-time record in Centennial Conference games.
Captain, My Captain: In a vote of his teammates, junior running back Andrew Kase was selected to serve as the team captain for the Blue Jays this season. According to records in the Johns Hopkins Sports Information Office, he is the first player to serve as a solo captain for the Blue Jay football team since 1983 (Francis Mullan).
On This Date: Johns Hopkins has played four previous games on September 20 and sports a 2-2 record in those four games. The Blue Jays have won two straight games played on this date, including a 24-0 win against Randolph-Macon (2003) in their last outing on September 20.
Road Openers: Johns Hopkins ran its winning streak to eight games in road-openers with last week's 39-31 triple overtime victory at Randolph-Macon. The Blue Jays last lost their first road game of the season in 2000, when they fell to Washington & Lee (32-19).
Road Warriors: Last week's win at Randolph-Macon was JHU's fourth straight win away from Homewood Field and improved the Blue Jays' record to 5-1 in road games since the start of the 2007 season. JHU's only loss on the road since the start of last season was a tough 28-21 setback at eventual league champion Muhlenberg last September. JHU is 27-10 on the road since the start of the 2001 season.
September Reign: Johns Hopkins is 23-9 in the month of Septmeber since the start of the 2000 season and 34-14 since the start of the 1995 season.
Streaking: Since the start of the 2002 season the Blue Jays sport a 47-19 (.712) record. Taking it back farther the Blue Jays are 53-22 (.707) since the start of the 2001 season and 58-27 (.682) since the begininng of the 2000 season. The 58 wins the Blue Jays have amassed this decade are already the most wins in a decade in school history. The previous record of 55 wins came in the 1990s.
Working Overtime: The 39-31 overtime win at Randolph-Macon was JHU's first overtime game since a 21-14 win at Washington & Lee in the 2002 season-opener (one overtime period). The Blue Jays are also now 2-2 all-time in overtime and all four extra-session games the Blue Jays have played in their history have been on the road.
Centennial Openers: Johns Hopkins has been one of the most successul teams in the Centennial Conference in league openers as the Blue Jays have won 14 of their last 17 Centennial openers and are 14-4 under head coach Jim Margraff in CC lid lifters. JHU's record in Centennial openers before Margraff took over in 1990 was 1-6 and JHU's overall record in such games (15-10) ranks as the second-best in league history. Only Franklin & Marshall, which fashions a 17-8 all-time record in Centennial-openers, sports a better record than Johns Hopkins.
In the Zone: Johns Hopkins was by far the most effective offensive team in the Centennial Conference in the red zone during the 2007 season. The Blue Jays finished the year 25-of-27 (92.6%) on the year with 17 touchdowns and eight field goals to their credit. The Blue Jays are a perfect 4-of-4 on trips to the red zone through two games and are now 29-of-31 (.935) since the start of the 2007 season.
34+: Johns Hopkins scored 34 points in the season-opening win against St. Lawrence (34-3) and added 39 in last week's triple overtime victory against Randolph-Macon (39-31). This marks the first time Johns Hopkins has scored 34 points or more in back-to-back games since posting back-to-back wins against Rochester (34-17) and Kean (35-17) to open the 2004 season. JHU has not scored 34 or more points in three straight games since early in the 2000 season.
Seven's Heaven: Since the beginning of the 2003 season the Blue Jays are 38-12 when scoring more than seven points and 0-5 when they have been held to seven points or less.
Defense Strikes Again: Freshman Tyler Brown returned a fumble 22 yards for a touchdown last week after sacking Randolph-Macon quarterback Brandon Braner late in the third quarter. That gives the Blue Jays four defensive touchdowns in two games this season and six non-offensive touchdowns in the last three games dating back to last season (five defensive and one kickoff return).
It's All Academic: Johns Hopkins has earned 26 CoSIDA Academic All-District selections since 2003. JHU's 26 selections in that time are more than the other CC football-playing schools combined (22). Taking it back even farther, Johns Hopkins has earned 52 CoSIDA Academic All-District selections since 1991. During that time the other CC football-playing schools have combined for exactly 52 selections as well.Johns Hopkins has had at least three players earn CoSIDA Academic All-District honors every year since 2001.
