LAST TIME OUT
Tarleton snapped its three-game losing streak in a big way by blowing out Texas A&M-Kingsville 80-14 on Homecoming night in Stephenville last Friday. The Texans broke multiple senior college-era records in the win.
 
TARLETON vs EASTERN NEW MEXICO
This is meeting No. 23 all-time between the Texans and Greyhounds, dating back to the first meeting in 1961. Tarleton trails the all-time series 9-13 but have dominated the meetings since 2001, when the Texans won their first game over the Greyhounds. The 55-14 win in 2001 was the first of a nine-win in 10-game run for Tarleton.
 
INSIDE THE SERIES
The Texans' only loss to ENMU in the last 13 years came in 2010 (10-35 in 2010). Tarleton hasn't lost in Black Water Draw since 2000. Tarleton has scored at least 34 points in the last three meetings against ENMU.
 
NOTCHING LSC WIN NO. 100
Since moving into the NCAA in 1994, Tarleton State has won 100 conference games. The triple-digit victory came in a game where Tarleton nearly cracked triple digits as the Texans scored a senior college-era school record 80 points over Texas A&M-Kingsville on Oct. 11.
 
TARLETON'S SCORING STREAK
The Texans have now scored a touchdown in 42 straight games dating back to the 2010 season. The last time a Tarleton team was held without a TD came in a 65-3 loss to Abilene Christian back on Sept. 25, 2010. Tarleton has scored at least a field goal or touchdown in 50 straight games heading into Saturday's game. The Texans have not been shutout since Nov. 8, 2008.
 
RECORD TRACKER: CLIFTON RHODES III
Clifton Rhodes III is on pace to become one of the best wide receivers to ever don the purple and white. Entering Saturday's game, here is where he stands on his way to Tarleton history:
• With 2,461 yards, Rhodes is 153 yards away from passing Devin Guinn as the school's all-time receiving leader. Guinn, who played from 2006-09, is the current record holder with 2,613.
• With 185 career receptions, Rhodes is 4 catches away from breaking a 44-year old school record. Tarleton Hall of Fame member Harlan Wunsch, who played from 1967-69, has held the record for the previous four decades with 188 career receptions.
• With nine career 100-yard receiving games under his belt, Rhodes is two 100-yard receiving games away from passing Devin Guinn (10) for the all-time lead.
 
RECORD TRACKER: BLAKE BARNES
In just his junior season, Blake Barnes is making a case to go down alongside Tarleton Hall of Famer J.W. Boren as two of the top kickers in Tarleton history.
• With nine attempts through the first five games, Barnes now has attempted 49 field goals in his career to move into second-place all-time by passing Paul Williams (2004-06) with 47. He is 35 attempts shy of passing Boren (83) for the all-time lead.
• Entering Saturday's game with 37 career field goals, he is four makes away from passing Williams for second all-time (40). Barnes is 23 field goals away from becoming the all-time leader and passing Boren (59).
• He is also in second-place all-time in PATs attempted (100), after passing Paul Williams (94) during his run of 11-11 PATs against Kingsville on Oct. 11. He is 49 extra points away from the all-time record, held by Boren (148)
