Both were members of Gerry DiNardo's staff at LSD in 1998. EDINBORO (0-1) THE COACHES Edinboro head coach lou Tepper (Rutgers‘671 is in his second season in charge of the Fighting Scots. A year ago he matched the school record for most wins by a first-year head coach as the Scots fin­ ished 5-6. Renowned as a defensive genius, Tepper has worked on the staffs of some of the top programs in the country, including Virginia Tech, Colorado and LSU. But his greatest notoriety came at Illinois, where he coached from 1989-96. The defensive coordi­ nator and later assistant head coach from 1988-91, Tepper was appointed the Fighting Illini head coach on December 13, 1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the John Hancock Sun Bowl. He would go on to guide the Illini to two more bowl games while posting a 25-31-2 ledger. He now owns an overall mark of 30-382. Bill Ellas (Massachusotts 771 is in his third year as the head coach at Gannon, becoming just the third Golden Knight head coach in 1999. He has com­ piled a 5-16 record, going 3-7 a year ago. Elias served as an assistant at LSU from 1994 until his arrival at Gannon. He coached the outside lineback­ ers and tight ends, and served as the recruiting coordinator. Prior to his stint at LSU, he coached at Vanderbilt. Elias has also had stints at Eastern Michigan, Delaware and Massachusetts.

Sean McNichdIas' 38yard field goal cut the margin to 14-3, and the Fighting Scots appeared ready to close the gap even further late in thd first half. However, a fumbled snap from center was recovered by Ashland at the Eagle 9, and the Eagles proceeded to drive 91 yards to take a 21-3 lead into intermission. In all, Edinboro drove inside the Ashland ten yard line three times and came away with no points. Edinboro University would like to extend its condolences to Ronald and Zerelda Geis on the loss of their son Ron this past summer. The brother of Edinboro senior wide receiver Josh Geis, Ron was a defensive back at Gannon in the mid1990's, serving as a three-year starter at strong safety. MBREBHJBSHGEIS Gannon 47, TiffinJ Gannon opened its new on-campus field in impressive fashion, posting a convincing win over outmanned Tiffin. The Golden Knight bolted to a 33-0 lead at the half, and ended up setting school records for total offense (607) and yards rushing (533).

IHJBRYREPBRT While numerous preseason injuries, including the loss for the entire season of starting right guard Jason Oman to ankle surgery, the Fighting Scots came away in decent shape against Ashland.

He also returned 3 punts for 31 yards and one kickoff for 12 yards. FIRST-TIME STARTERS A total of six players, four on offense, made their first starts against Ashland. Otto Hoover, a converted defensive lineman, opened at left tackle. He was joined on the offensive line by another sophomore, Anthony Peluso, who started at right guard.

On defense, sophomore Justin Koi opened at defensive tackle, while junior Jeff Richardson got the starting nod at strong safety.

However, the Fighting Scots drove inside the Ashland ten three times and failed to score a point. The first drive ended at the AU 9 following a fumble. The second occurred early in the third quarter, with the Scots marching to the three before settling for a 32-yard field goal attempt which failed.

Tepper inherited an Edinboro program which had won just eleven games in the previous three seasons. His five-win season in 2000 matched the Edinboro record for most victories by a first-year head coach. The season-ending three game winning streak propelled the Fighting Scots into an enthusiastic winter conditioning session and confident spring practice. BACKGROUND Tepper, a native of Keystone, PA, returned to the Division II level after coaching at Division I institutions for almost thirty years. He is renowned as a defensive coaching genius, with a resume that includes three Butkus Award honorees and an Outland Trophy winner. Tepper's list of defensive standouts include Bruce Smith, John Holecek, Simeon Rice, Kevin Hardy, and Henry Jones, all current NFL standouts. In addition, he has worked with some of the top head coaches in the country, including Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech, Bill McCartney at Colorado, John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry DiNardo at LSU. "Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it has been neat to be a head coach again and to be had an outstanding pool of a head coach in candidates to choose from, but this environ­ Lou's integrity, coaching back­ ment," Tepper follow­ ground and national notoriety stood related ing his first out above the rest We feel season at Edinboro. "I've Edinboro provides the opportunity to be one of the top programs in the recruited west­ ern PSAC, and look at Lou Tepper as Pennsylvania for half of my the coach to restore our program to career. It’s a that level" joy to be back home." Tepper com­ Dr. Frank Pogue Jr. pleted his sec­ President, Edinboro University ond full season as the defen­ sive coordinator at Louisiana State University last year. He began his tenure with the Tigers on December 15, 1997, helping LSU to a 27-9 Independence Bowl win over Notre Dame. All told, he has served as a defensive coordinator for 19 of his 33 years in the coaching profession. BIG TEN HEAD COACH The 5 5-year-old Tepper was appointed the head coach at the University of Illinois on December 13, 1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced Mackovic, who left for the head coaching position at the University of Texas. During his five year stint as the Fighting mini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2, including two more bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of wins over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first victoty in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consec­ utive wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive, Tepper graduated 91 percent of his seniors. Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the defensive coordinator for four seasons and assistant head coach for two years. In his nine seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to six bowl invitations, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings in the AP and UPI polls. He was honored as the Big Ten's top defensive assistant coach in 1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annually ranked among the best in the country, finishing 10th in 1989, 14th in 1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995. Tepper’s 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suffering a 27-17 defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl. Illinois went in to^ Columbus and upset Ohio State, 18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie against Michigan in Ann Arbor. While his ‘93 edition finished 5-6, that included a 24-21 win in Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to postseason play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewash­ ing in the Liberty Bowl. The ‘94 squad finished 7-5, again upset­ ting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once again it was on the road, as Illinois shocked Ohio State, 24-10, in Columbus behind Butkus Award winner Dana Howard. LINEBACKERS While Penn State has gained the reputation as "Linebacker U", Illinois could make a good case for that designation as well during Tepper's tenure. He produced _______________________________ consecutive Butkus Award winners in Dana Howard (1994) and Kevin Hardy BOfll: September 7, 1945 (1995).

He earned the title of assistant head coach to McCartney his final two seasons, and helped the Buffaloes to the 1985 Freedom Bowl and the 1986 Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assis­ tant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

The first full year of the new millennium was an exciting campaign, as our student-athletes once again made us quite proud on the playing fields and in the classroom. Our pride goes much deeper, however. Due to the generosity of many loyal Fighting Scot fans, our Third Annual Athletic Fund Drive eclipsed our expectations. One area which we have stressed in our fund drive has been endowed scholarships. I am pleased to announce that we now offer 49 endowed scholarships. Please allow me to take a moment and extend my heartfelt thanks for your contributions in 2000-2001. But there is still so much to be done. We will always strive to be a pacesetter, and not a follower. With that in mind, we are once again reaching out to the entire Edinboro community to help support our athletic program. We realize that our success lies directly with the continuous support of our campus community, alum­ ni and friends. Over the past few years we’ve strived to raise funds through Endowed Scholarships, Gifts-in-Kind, Securities, Trusts and Bequests. I’m very excited about the formation of the Hall of Fame Scholarship. We now have 135 members in our Hall of Fame, and thanks to the assistance of many devoted Fighting Scot fans, this endeavor is off to a flying start. Once again, with no state appropriations for ath­ letic scholarships, we depend on fund raising events such as the Annual Athletic Fund Drive to supplement our athletic programs. Our summer camp season con­ tinues to be the main source of our financial develop­ ment, but we cannot maintain our level of excellence without your support. Although still funded well below the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) allowable limit, our athletic scholarship program attempts to create the best educational and athletic opportunities for our student-athletes. At Edinboro University, we are quite proud of our past successes and rich tradition, but we cannot rest upon past accomplishments while our sister-institutions pass us by in the world of athletic fund raising. Once again, we look forward to hearing from you soon. Please feel free to contact my office with any questions about our fund drive. I entertain any recom­ mendations or suggestions which would better our University and its athletic department. Sincerely, Bruce R.

Organized two decades ago, the Fighting Scot Booster Club’s primary mission is to provide financial support for the athletic program while promoting community aware­ ness and involvement in the University. Each spring, members of the Fighting Scot Booster Club will conduct a national and community-wide fund raising campaign to support the cost of athletic operating expenses. While student activity fees cover a portion of operating expenses, private funding is crucial in maintaining the level of excellence the Fighting Scot programs have enjoyed in recent years. Your membership affords Edinboro University and its athletic program the opportunity to offer a quality athletic and academic experience to its student-athletes. State appropri­ ations are not allotted for scholarships, making the Booster Club and the departmental fund raising efforts the sole means of raising money for the athletic scholarships.

In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after two practices, conditioning and lifting. When I told them of Edinboro’s response, they reacted with the loudest applause of camp. This is the second year the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players continually asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. In 30 years of coaching at the Division I level, I never had players respond with such gratitude. Please support our hometown restaurants! THANK YOU.

It has been very gratifying to the response of local organizations in assisting Edinboro football. One sucj> intsnace was assis­ tance gathered from the following civic organiza­ tions in conducting our football raffle during the Bills/Browns scrimmage in August. There assis­ tance was greatly appreciated.

That fete might not happen this year, but it won't be for lack of a talented ballcarrier. In fact, the one-two punch of Alonzo Roebuck and John Williams could leave the Fighting Scots in their best tailback situa­ tion in years. It certainly looked that way in Edinboro's season opening loss at Ashland. The tandem was one of the few bright spots in the 27-9 setback. Williams rushed for a career-best 114 yards on just 13 carries, breaking off a 65-yard run. Roebuck also set a career high with 81 yards on 16 carries. But those numbers indicate why the 1,000 yard streak might come to an end. Unlike previous years where 20-30 carries would be the norm, head coach Lou Tapper will likely split the ballcarrying duties. That means while the talent is there, the attempts might not be. "Both are very capable runners," noted Tapper. "If we only had one we'd feel like we had a good tailback. They will share the spot" "I was happy that we were able to have success running the ball," commented Williams following the Ashland game. "It gives us a look into what we can do. We have to take the game as a learning experience. We need to eliminate the mistakes and not shoot ourselves in the foot." Roebuck was also pleased with the team's ability to run the ball, but shed a little light into one of the problems with the two back system. "When you're splitting time it's kind of hard to get into your groove," he admitted. "You have to be hungry and want it. It's a competition between the two to get each other going." Both players bear a similar background. The two transferred to Edinboro a year ago. Roebuck from Pittsburgh and Williams from the University of Rhode Island. With Bernard Henry already in resi­ dence, it left Tepper with a pleasant dilemma, and Roebuck with a new position, at least for the first five games. The 5'11", 198 lb. senior moved to wide receiver, where he played the first five games before moving back to tailback. He ended up catching 8 passes for 66 yards and carrying the pigskin 35 times for 182 yards. "When I decided to come here, there were only two positions open," recalled Roebuck, "running back and strong, safety. I thought I would play strong safety. I didn't play either. I ended up playing wide receiver. It was for the better of the team." Williams, a native of Millgrove, Ontario, found the travel involved with the Division I level exciting, but is glad to now be at Edinboro. "Overall, playing at the Division I level was a very positive experience. You got to travel a lot and see a lot of the country that I wouldn't have been able to experience. The bottom line is football is football. I'm just glad to be playing." Alonzo Roebuck A 6'0", 197 lb. senior. Williams was reunited with Tepper after initially almost going to Illinois to play for the veteran mentor. He came out of Canada as the most highly-regarded senior running back. "Probably the first thing I looked at when coming to Edinboro was coach Tepper," Williams stated. "His staff recruited me out of high schooll when he was at Illinois. I was all set to go there and then he got fired. This is nice because it's close to home, only about three hours away. Rhode Island was nine hours away." After choosing Rhode Island, Williams emerged as the secondleading rusher in 1999 with 222 yards. He more than doubled that total while serving as Henry's backup a year ago, gaining 483 yards on 140 carries. That included a 109-yard effort at Lock Haven, the first 100-yard game of his collegiate career. "Coming in I kind of expected for things to go the way they did," admitted Williams. "Bernard was such a great back and brought so much to the program. I was glad to be able to play with him. I think we worked well together." Roebuck, meanwhile, credits another member of the Edinboro staff with influencing him to become a Fighting Scot. "Coach (Scott) Browning continuously called me," noted Roebuck. "I was really impressed with the interest he showed. Playing at that level (Pittsburgh) was a good feeling, but I didn't get too many opportu­ nities." Roebuck is the speed back, running a 10.6 100, and also pos­ sesses plenty of power. Williams, meanwhile, is a shifty runner. While the styles differ, both are accomplished receivers, a must in the Edinboro offense. "Alonzo Roebuck has great speed," Tepper pointed out. "John Williams has "make-you-miss" ability. They're unique in that they are both transfers who have really become the heart and soul of our team. Their character sticks out just as strongly as their ability. They are tremendous role models for our freshmen players." The differing styles give opponents plenty to worry about, and Edinboro's tailback tandem admits they feed off each other's tal­ ents. "I don't mind sharing the position," Roebuck emphasized. "We have a number of quality backs yvho can get the job done. We have one goal - to win. WhatQ'^er we can do to accomplish that." That winning attitude comes through in how they want to be seen - as com­ plete players. "I think I'm a versatile player," related Roebuck. "I can be a power runner, or a make-you-miss runner. And I can catch the ball." Perhaps Williams sums it up best for both talented tail­ backs. "I'm a slasher," Williams emphasized. "I have the ability to make people miss. I'm able to catch the ball out of the backfield. "I never wanted to be just an average-type back. My dad used to tell me to never settle for being just average. I want to be above average.
