Isaiah Mallory is second in the Great American Conference at 82.4 yards per game. To become the first back to have back-to-back 1000-yard seasons, Mallory would need to average over 144 yards per game. OBU faces three of the five worst GAC rushing defenses in the remaining contests.
 
Seth Glasscock caught his first pass of the year Saturday - a touchdown. That means 16 different Bison have caught passes this year. Stephan Turner leads the team with 34 receptions and Cagney Roberson leads with 470 yards and five touchdowns. Turner and Alex Lewis are in the GAC Top 10 in receptions and Roberson and Lewis are in the top 10 in receiving yards. Lewis has 32 receptions for 439 yards.
 
The Bison offensive line has allowed just five sacks this season. That mark ranks Oklahoma Baptist 11th in the NCAA Division II, but only fifth in the Great American Conference. OBU has not allowed a sack since the Henderson State contest.
