UNH leads the FCS in defensive touchdowns with six (four pick-sixes and two fumble returns).
Eighteenth-year head coach Sean McDonnell recorded his 89th career victory in CAA conference play Oct. 29 against nationally-ranked Stony Brook to climb into a tie for No. 5 with former Delaware coach Tubby Raymond. Former Maine coach Jack Cosgrove is No. 4 at 90. McDonnell's predecessor, Bill Bowes, is No. 3 at 97 career conference wins.
