Series:        Findlay has won each of the two previous meetings with Malone.  The two schools, both former NAIA members, first met in an NAIA playoff game at Findlay on December 2, 1995 – a contest the Oilers won 15-7.  Findlay then tallied a 13-10 regular-season victory in Canton on October 5, 1996.

Coaches:   
Malone – Eric Hehman is in his third season as the Pioneers' head coach and has tallied an 8-21 record at Malone.  Prior to arriving in Canton, Hehman spent the previous five years as the head coach at NCAA Division III Greenville (IL) College where he led the Panthers to a 28-22 record and a berth in the 2009 NCCAA Victory Bowl.
 Findlay – Rob Keys is now in his second season as the Oilers head coach and has guided UF to an 11-8 overall record.  Keys previously served as an assistant coach for the Oilers from 2000-04.  He then held assistant coaching positions at Indiana State Univ., Slippery Rock (PA) University, and the Univ. of New Hampshire before returning to Findlay to become the Oilers' head coach.

Coaches Show: In the ninth installment of the Coaches Show, coach Hehman and host Clint Scroggs discuss last week's game against Notre Dame College and this week's match-up with the University of Findlay.  Plus, coach Hehman gives an update on the status of the program's recruiting efforts.
