SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
-  Presbyterian College has opened the season with losses to Mercer (45-7) and Jacksonville (30-20), both of which were at home.
 
-  The Blue Hose are averaging 13.5 points per game, 131 rushing yards per game and 122 passing yards per contest.
 
-  The PC defense is allowing 432 yards per game, including 242 rushing yards, and has not yet recorded a sack.
 
-  Jarius Jeter leads the team with 138 rushing yards and is averaging six yards per carry.  Quarterbacks Brandon Thompson and Tyler Huff have both played in each of the first two games.  Thompson is 17-for-30 with one interception and 150 yards.  He is also second on the team with 76 rushing yards.  Huff is 12-for-22 with one interception and 94 yards.  He has the team's only passing touchdown.
 
-  The nickname "Blue Hose" began in the early 1900's, when sportswriters referred to the Presbyterian College athletic teams as the "Blue Stockings" because of the blue socks they wore.  Ben Hay Hammet's 1982 centennial history of PC noted that blue-stocking Presbyterians also referred to "Presbyterians with strong puritan leanings."  Today the name signifies fierce Scottish warriors.  This interpretation also reflects the college's Scottish heritage.
