Post-Game Notes:
- Western Carolina alternated quarterbacks Zac Brindise and Brandon Pechloff on each possession of the first half beginning with Brindise before Pechloff made his first appearance on the second offensive series ... the tandem of signal callers continued the alternation in the second half;
- Michael Johnson recorded his second touchdown of the season - and the sixth of his career - on a one-yard rush in the second quarter ... Of Johnson's six rushing scores, three have come against Wofford including two in 2009;

- Wofford's Mitch Allen and Eric Breitenstein both rushed for over 100 yards against WCU on Saturday marking the first opposing tandem to eclipse the century mark on the ground since Zac Stacy (133 yds) and Warren Norman (105 yds) of Vanderbilt did it on Sept. 5, 2009;
Miscellaneous Notes:
