NOTES
• Safety Sheldon Watson has recorded an interception in each of the last three games.
           
• Houston Ray has 38 career field goals which is second in HSU history.  The HSU record is 41 by Bo Adkisson from 1974-77. Ray also ranks third in extra-points made with 113. Adkisson made 119 PATs in 149 attempts from 1974 to 1977, while Charles Gonsalves holds the record with 132 (141 att.) from 2011 to 2014.
           
• Punter Cody Mikell has been impressive to start the season averaging of 43.8 yards per kick including five inside the 20. Mikell leads the GAC and ranks 7th nationally in punting average.     
 
• Freshman defensive end Robert Thomas is following his father's footsteps and is already doing the name proud. The son of former Reddie and Dallas Cowboy Robert Thomas IV, Thomas has been used in short yardage situations on offense having scored a rushing touchdown in each of the last three games. Defensively, the product of Cedar Hill, Texas has eight tackles including one for lost yardage.  
The elder Thomas was middle linebacker for the Reddies from 1993 to 1996. He closed out his collegiate career as the school's all-time leading tackler with 388 tackles.
Thomas was signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys in 1998. He made the Cowboys final roster and spent his time playing mostly on special teams.   
In 1999 he became the Cowboys' starting fullback, after Daryl Johnston suffered a career-ending neck injury.      
During his time with the Cowboys, he served primarily as Emmitt Smith's lead blocker for four of his five seasons, eventually paving the way as Smith ran for 109 yards on 24 carries, while becoming the NFL's all-time leading rusher versus the Seattle Seahawks on October 27, 2002.
