FORDHAM IN SEASON OPENERS

• The Fordham University Rams are now 50-35 all-time in season openers since 1920,

11-23 since moving to the NCAA FCS in 1989.

• The season-opening win at Wagner snapped a six-game losing streak for the Rams in

season openers.

• Prior to the six-game losing streak, the Rams had taken the four previous season open-

ers.

• On Jack Coey Field, Fordham is 23-31 since 1970 in home openers but the Rams have

won seven of their past eleven home openers.

THE BOROUGHS

• The game at Wagner on September 1 was be Fordham’s rst

on Staten Island since a game with the Seahawks in 1984 and

was the Rams’ fth game played on the island.

• Fordham is 2-3 all-time on Staten Island with all four games

coming at Wagner.

• The Rams have also played in Manhattan (Polo Grounds,

Randall’s Island), Queens (St. John’s), and of course, the

Bronx, but have never played a game in Brooklyn (at least

since 1920).

FORDHAM IS WINNINGEST

NYC COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM

• No New York area college football team has won more

games since 2012 than Fordham, who has amassed 65 victo-

ries over that stretch.

• The closest collegiate competitors are Sacred Heart (60), Stony Brook (58), and Rutgers

(44), while the NFL’s Giants lead all NYC area professional teams with 61 wins over the

past eleven years and the Jets have 54.

RAMS WIN SIX STRAIGHT

• The loss to Holy Cross last November snapped a six-game Fordham winning streak.

• It was the longest streak since 2015 when the Rams ran o six straight on their way to a

9-3 season.

FORDHAM OFFENSE FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS

• Over the six-game winning streak last year, the Fordham oense was in high gear.

• After scoring 31 in the win at Stony Brook, the oense turned it up a notch, scoring 42,

Fordham senior quarterback Tim

DeMorat was named GEICO Patriot

League Oensive Player of the Week

honors on Monday.

In a 48-31 season-opening win at

Wagner on Thursday night, DeMorat,

the Patriot League preseason oensive

player of the year, accounted for six

of the seven Fordham touchdowns.

He completed 18 of 25 passes for 386

yards and ve touchdowns and ran

for another score. It was his eleventh

career 300-yard passing game.

DeMorat, who earned weekly honors for the sixth time over the past two years, ranks second

in career completions (724), career passing yards (8,949), and career touchdown passes (72), and

sixth in completion percentage (.598) at Fordham. He needs one touchdown pass to tie the school

record of 73, set by Kevin Anderson (2014-2017).

Did You Know?

Fordham Appeared in the First Televised

College Football Game Over 80 Years Ago

On September 30, 1939, Fordham hosted

Waynesburg College at Triboro Stadium on

Randall’s Island. The game was the season

opener for the Rams, who beat Waynesburg,

34-7. Announcer Bill Stern called the

contest over station W2XBS (now WNBC)

as a demonstration of this new medium at

the World’s Fair. Two iconoscope cameras,

which had just been patented by RCA, were

used to televise the game with the images

being sent to a relay station 10 miles from the stadium and then, by cable, to the top of

the Empire State Building, where a large transmitter broadcast the game to the lucky

few who owned a television in those days. A top-of-the-line set in 1939, a Clifton, sold

for about $600.

Notable Fordham players who appeared in the game include Len Eshmont and

Dominic Principe, who went on to play in the professional ranks, as well as Ralph Friegden,

father of former Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen, who scored twice in the game

and Donald Lambeau - son of Green Bay Packer legend Earl Louis "Curly" Lambeau.

56, and 66 points against Lafayette, Wagner, and Bucknell, respectively, before scoring

35 versus Lehigh and 41 at Georgetown.

• The 66 points are the most scored against the Bison by the Rams and the 45-point mar-

gin of victory is the largest in the Fordham-Bucknell series.

• The 66 points also ties the school record against a Division I team (the Rams scored 66

in 1936 and 1937 against Franklin & Marshall).

• It is the rst time in school history that the Rams scored more than 50 points in back-to-

back games.

• Fordham’s 697 yards of total oense in the Bucknell game was a Patriot League sea-

son-high and the 14th-most single game total for an NCAA FCS team last year.

CONWAY SECOND IN NCAA IN TACKLES

• Freshman linebacker James Conway nished his rookie campaign second in the NCAA

FCS in tackles/game, averaging 11.9.

• He was also second in the Patriot League and 16th in the NCAA FCS in solo tackles/

game with 5.7.

KOKOSIOUIS LED PATRIOT LEAGUE IN TD RECEPTIONS

• Senior wide receiver Fotis Kokosioulis led the Patriot League and was fourth in the

NCAA FCS in touchdown receptions with 13 in 2021..

• The 13 scoring catches tied for second most in a season in school history.

• Right behind him was junior wide out Dequece Carter, who had eleven touchdown

catches, good for a tie for second in the League and eleventh in the NCAA FCS.

• Over his career, Kokosioulis has 22 touchdown recep-

tions, third all-time at Fordham, while Carter has 18, tied

for sixth.

GREENHAGEN SETS

NCAA DIV. I TACKLES RECORD

• Fordham senior linebacker Ryan Greenhagen set an

School record rushing yards gained

former mark of 2,353 set in 2014

• Greenhagen had 14 solo tackles and 17 assists. The previous record of 30 was accom-

plished three times previously since the NCAA made tackles an ocial statistic in 2000.

Others to achieve the feat include Chattanooga’s Josh Cain (2001), Norfolk State’s Kevin

Talley (2004) and Stetson’s Donald Payne (2014).

• According to cbssports.com Greenhagen’s 31 tackles were the most by any player

against an FBS opponent since the NCAA began keeping records. The record was previ-

ously held by former Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray, who had 28 tackles against

Army. NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary notably recorded 35 tackles against

Houston and 33 tackles against Arkansas in 1978 for Baylor, but both of those games

occurred before stats were considered ocial.

• Greenhagen broke a 31-year-old Patriot League single-game tackles record, a mark that

was held by Lehigh’s Lee Picariello against William. & Mary in 1990.

• Greenhagen followed the 31-tackle game with a 28-stop contest against Monmouth on

September 11.

• He recorded double gures in tackles in four of the ve games he played for the Rams

in 2021 (he recorded nine in the rst half at Lafayette before missing the second half with

an injury).

• Greenhagen led the NCAA in tackles/game (20.2) and solo tackles/game (9.2) before

suering a season-ending injury in the Lafayette game.

GREENHAGEN GETS IT DONE IN THE CLASSROOM TOO

• Fordham senior linebacker Ryan Greenhagen is not only turning heads on the eld, but

he’s also doing it in the classroom.

• Last year, Greenhagen was named a Second Team CoSIDA Academic All-American®,

for the second straight year.
