- Despite the popular belief Oxford is a passing team, the Chargers have ran more rushing plays than passing plays this season (116 rushing to 115 passing - near 50/50 split). Although Oxford has more passing yards than rushing yards.
- Oxford has allowed just 11 passing yards in the month of September.
- Oxford has scored 13 Touchdowns and 3 Field Goals in 19 Red Zone Trips this season (the other three being two turnovers and one punt). Last season Oxford struggled in the Red Zone, consistently kicking - and missing - Field Goal chances or not coming away with anything at all.
- Oxford despite running an up-tempo offense has had the opposing team run more plays in three of the four games this season (Lafayette being the exception). Oxford although has lost the time of possession battle in each game yet still able to win.
