SMOOTH LANDEN 

• Quarterback Landen Clark has already been named CAA Rookie of the Week three times this season, most recently for his performance against Campbell. Clark is the first Elon freshman to earn the honor three times in a season.

• Clark is tied for third in the CAA with nine rushing touchdowns through 11 games played. The redshirt freshman has thrown multiple touchdown passes in five games this season and has 14 total.

HIGHWAY TO THE RED ZONE  

• All season long, the Elon offensive and defensive units have made their presence known inside the red zone. Coming into the matchup with Campbell, the Phoenix ranks first in the CAA in red zone offense and second in red zone defense.
