Heading into the first bowl game in UT Permian Basin history has had a record-setting season.  The Falcons travel to Corsicana to face off with Oklahoma Baptist on Saturday, December, 4 in the Fun Town RV Heritage Bowl.
 
This season has been a year of many firsts, going all the way to their 5-0 spring season.  Here's a look at the team by the numbers.

28.7 – That's how many points per game the Falcons averaged this fall, the most the program has averaged in a single season. 
 
3 – Three games over 40 points for the Falcons, a program record.
 
75 – On October 9 the Falcons set a program record for points in a game and margin of victory over Lincoln (CA).
 
0 – Points allowed in that game against Lincoln, the first shutout in program history.
 
20 – Touchdown passes this season by Falcon quarterbacks.  That's one behind the team record for a season.
 
8 – Touchdown receptions by MJ Link, setting a single season program record.  Link was named to the All-LSC First Team after adding 628 receiving yards.
