QUICK HITTERS
New Hampshire is led by 20th-year head coach Sean McDonnell, who has guided the Wildcats to the NCAA FCS tournament each of the last 14 years (longest active streak in the nation).

Saturday's game will be the first meeting between the New Hampshire and Colorado football programs. It will be UNH's first game against any Pac-12 team.

The 16 tackles by junior linebacker Quinlen Dean last week were the most by a Wildcat since Oct. 13, 2012, when Matt Evans also made 16 stops against the University of Richmond.

Senior wide receiver Neil O'Connor recorded his eighth career 100-yard receiving game with 10 catches for 111 yards against Colgate last week at Wildcat Stadium.

New Hampshire upended FBS opponent Georgia Southern, 22-12, last year at Legion Field (Birmingham, Alabama).

Prior to last year, UNH lost seven consecutive matchups against FBS opponents. The Wildcats won five straight games against FBS competition spanning the 2004-09 seasons.

The last time UNH started a season with back-to-back losses was 2002; the Wildcats started that year 0-4.

Prior to last week's 10-3 loss to Colgate, the last time New Hampshire lost a regular-season home game to a non-conference team was Nov. 11, 2000, when Gardner-Webb was a 38-35 victor.

UNH had won 13 consecutive home openers prior to last week. The previous Wildcats' loss in a home opener was to William & Mary, 9-7, on Sept. 18, 2004.

UNH has recorded seven or more wins 14 consecutive years; the stretch began in 2004 (10-3) and includes six double-digit win seasons with a program-record 12 in 2014.

The Wildcats return 18 starters – nine on offense and nine on defense – from last year's team that finished 9-5 overall and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.
