Football Week 5 Opponent: Urbana

   The Yellow Jackets head to Ohio to face the Urbana Blue Knights Saturday at noon.
   Urbana enters the contest with a 1-3 record after dropping a 31-28 decision at Glenville State last weekend.
   In that contest the Blue Knights scored 14 points in the final quarter and the final 21 of the game after falling behind 31-7 with 5:01 to play in the third.
  They had a chance to complete the comeback with possession at the Glenville 25 with just over a minute remaining but the Pioneers sacked the Urbana quarterback and forced a fumble.
  They have thrown the ball 163 times and run it 148 but have been much more successful through the air gaining 1,054 yards compared to 568 on the ground.
   Urbana plays two quarterbacks by design after All-American D.J. Mendenhall graduated in the spring. Cody Scroeder and Cale Burdyshaw split time under center. Schroeder has been slightly more effective completing 58.9 percent of his tosses for 634 yards while Burdyshaw has connect 50 percent of the time for 420 yards and was hurt toward the end of last week's contest.
   David Hill handles most of the running chores and is averaging 71.2 yards a game.
