Phillipsburg suffered one of its more disappointing defeats in recent memory in Thursday's 21-14 loss to Easton in front of the usual sold-out house at Lafayette's Fisher Stadium.

But the thrilling, back-and-forth game produced a lot of interesting statistics and results for the Stateliners (10-1). We take a look at the game by numbers, both good and bad, for Phillipsburg.

1

Number of penalties on Phillipsburg. But it was a big one -- a five-yard 'snap infraction' that moved the Stateliners from Easton 3 to the 8 for first-and-goal. Phillipsburg did not score on the possession.

3

Number of turnovers committed by Phillipsburg Thursday. They had 4 in the previous 10 games.

8

Number of tackles by Phillipsburg sophomore Bobby Coury, third-highest in the game. We predict it won't be the last time Coury features on such a list.

14

Points Phillipsburg might have led by the in first half but for the interception by Easton junior cornerback Damion Smith the end zone in the first quarter. A 14-0 Stateliner lead would have made the game feel very different.

78

Receiving yardage, on four catches, by Easton senior wide receiver Eddie Olsen. All four catches by Olsen came at dagger times for the Stateliners, including a 43-yarder and a 13-yard touchdown.
