So RB Len Wyda against King's.

The Ground Game
The Warrior running backs have persevered through injuries to show off one of the most eclectic and deep groups of running backs in the MAC. Three different Warriors - juniors Jacob Fimbres and Keith Batkowskiand sophomore Len Wyda - have run for at least 80 yards in a game, marking the first time since 2015 that the team accomplished that feat and the first time three Lycoming running backs have done that this century. 

Looking at Lycoming vs Delaware Valley football for over 25 years

2015 - Jr RB Blake Bowman had a big rushing day against favored Delaware Valley.

It has been a series of momentum. In the eighties and nineties, the Lycoming College Warriors dominated the Dutchman of Delaware Valley. The Warriors had a 16 year winning streak that stretched from 1988 to 2002. In 1987, the Warriors and Dutchman played to a 7-7 tie. Also, Lycoming did not lose a game to the Dutchman for 20 years. That stretch was from 1983 to 2002.

RB Blake Bowman - "He works so hard," Clark said. "Blake is a really good kid. He prepares you want guys to prepare. The touchdown record is a direct result of how he prepares. To say he has scored more touchdowns in a season than any guy that has ever played here is pretty cool." (2015 File Photo by John Green)
