The Coaches Scott Browning (Ohio State '81) took over as Edinboro's 13th head coach on January 5, 2006. He was certainly no stranger to Fighting Scot football, however, serving as an assistant coach for the previous twenty years. While at Edinboro he has coached the offensive linemen, defensive backs and running backs, along with serving as the offensive coordinator. Browning became the first head coach at Edinboro to debut with a win since Bill McDonald in 1969 when the Fighting Scots opened the 2006 sea­ son with a 28-14 win at West Chester. He went on to lead Edinboro to a 65 finish, the most wins ever by a first-year coach. A year ago he led the Fighting Scots to a 7-4 record. With 13 wins after two seasons. Browning tied Bin McDonald and Tom HoUman for most wins in their first two sea­ sons. He now owns a 17-10 mark. (For more on Scott Browning, see pages 6-7.) Jim Kieman (St. Lawrence '90) is in his second season at the helm of the Golden Knights. He has a 4-12 record. Kieman was hired as the fourth head coach at Gannon in December 2006 after serving as an assistant coach at Saginaw Valley State for eight seasons. He's no stranger to northwest Pennsylvania football, serving as the offensive coordinator at Mercyhurst from 1995-97. He has also had coaching stints at Page 2 Lakeland(WI) College, Alabama A&M and Kentucky Wesleyan. The Edinboro-Gannon Series Edinboro leads z-o The Fighting Scots have won both previous meetings. The first one came in 2001, a 37-21 victory at Sox Harrison Stadium. A year later the two met in the 2002 season opener, with Edinboro a 17-7 winner. The Last Meeting Edinboro ly, Gannon y The Fighting Scots finished with just 192 total yards while-Gannon had 316 yards. But the Golden Knights were held scoreless imtil the first minute of the fourth quarter when Kevin Cloherty scored on a one-yard run. It was too little, too late. Edinboro jumped on the board just over three minutes into the game when Lincoln Bi^alino hauled in a 55-yard pass from Cam Marsh. Geoff Heyl boosted the lead to 10-0 on a 40-yard field goal in the second quarter. Then midway through the third quar­ ter, Alonzo Roebuck scored on a 6-yard run. Punter Sean Mcnicholas proved a major weapon for the Scots, averaging 47.7 yards on 3 kicks. Last Week’s Games Edinboro 31, Lock Haven o The Fighting Scots posted their first shutout since 2006 by holding the The CaliforniafPa.) Game Bald Eagles to 185 total yards. Branden Williams blocked a pair of field goals to lead the defensive effort. Trevor Harris threw a 24-yard touch­ down pass to Gary Nolen and a 25-yarder to Rich Cerro. Houston Brown and Ulysee Davis accounted for the other scores on mns of 9 and 20 yards, respectively. picked up wins in each instance. The last time the Fighting Scots won four games in a row on the road was 2004, and the last time they opened the season with four straight road victories was 1993, when the Fighting Scots won their first five road contests. Gannon 31, Clarion 24 Trio of Players Make First Career Catches Three players caught their first-ever passes at Lock Haven. Backup wide receiver Stefan English, a third-year sophomore, caught a 12-yard pass, while sophomore fullback Jimmy Doran caught an eigtht-yard pass. Finally, Evan Landis made the move from defensive end to tight end prior to the Lock Haven game and caught a nine-yard pass. The Golden Kmghts celebrated Homecoming with a nailbiter against Clarion. Gannon led 31-17 heading into the fourth quarter, but the Golden Eagles closed to 31-24 and had the ball at the Gannon 26 with less than thirty seconds to play. Four straight incompletions sealed the win. Jon Richardson carried 26 times for 83 yards and 2 TDs. 31 is the Mag^c Niiiriber Edinboro has now scored 31-or-more points in each of its first five games. In fact, the Fighting Scots have scored 31 points in each of the last three games. A year ago Edinboro scored at least 33 points in a string of five straight games. 22. Blocks 2 More Freshman CB Branden Williams was recently named the PSAC West Defensive Player of the Week after blocking a field goal and returning an interception 100 yards for a touchdown at C.W. Post. He was at it again this past weekend, blocking a pair of Lock Haven field goals to secure the 31-0 shutout. PSAC Has New Look in 2008 The 2008 season will represent a significant change in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. The PSAC adds three new teams this season, with Gannon and Mercyhurst moving over the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and becoming full-time members of the Western Division. C.W. Post joins the Eastern Division as an associ­ ate member in football and field hockey. The Pioneers previously com­ peted in the Northeast-10 Conference. The PSAC now has 16 member schools, the largest football-playing conference in Division II. Scouting Gannon After finishing with a 1-10 record a year ago, and tiiat win was via forfeit, the Golden Knights are off to a 3-2 start in their first season in the PSAC. Gannon owns wins over Lake Erie (24-22), Cheyney (4018), and Qaiion (31-24). Last week's win over Clarion marked the home opener in 2008, after four straight road tilts. Players to Watch Jon Richardson, ffe ~ the junior (lefi) became the tenth player in school history to score 100 points, now showing 102 points after scoring a pair of TDs versus Qarion. He is currently leading the PSAC in mshing with 133.5 ypg. Richardson has 1,467 career yards, good for seventh all-time. Bob Bartley/Zach Boedicker, QB — look for both sophomore signalcallers to see action. Bartley is known as the better passer, and has thrown for 499 yards and 2 TDs. Boedicker is more recognized for his mshing skills, but has thrown for 380 yards and 3 TDs while rushing for 196 yards and 2 TDs, sec­ ond on the team. Jacobe Smith, WR - the senior comes off a big game against Qaiion, catching 4 passes for 90 yards, including a 28-yard TD reception. He leads the IGiights with 18 catches for 2& yards. Jeremy Ditzler, PK - the sophomore has made 8 of 10 field goal attempts, the third-most field goals made in a seasorr Ditder hails from nearby Iroquois High School. Matt Ward, DE — was named the PSAC West Defensive Player of the Week after a big game against Qaiion. The senior made 9 tack­ les, with 4.5 for losses. That included 1.5 sacks, and he was a major reason Qarion finished with just 39 yards mshing. He leads Ae team in both tackles (37) and tackles for losses (7). Edinboro Football 2008 ♦ Great Things Happen Here! Championsliip Game Returns to PSAC This win mark the 75th year since PSAC football champions have been crowned, dating back to 1934 when a group of sportswriters recognized champions among Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges. Since 1987 the PSAC has recognized divisional champions but no true conference cham­ pion could be crowned. That will change this year, as the 2008 season wiQ mark the return of the PSAC Championship Game. The PSAC title game wiU be played on November 8, the final week of the regular season. It will pit the first place team in the Eastern Division against the first place team in the Western Division. The site will rotate between divisions each year, with the Western Division serving as the host in 2008. Harris Breaks Pair of Records Trevor Harris continues his assault on the Edinboro record book and is also quickly ascending in the PSAC records. The junior quarterback set a pair of school records in the win over Lock Haven. He threw two touch­ down passes to give him 63 for his career, breaking the record of 62 previ­ ously held by Jody Dickerson. His first pass completion of the afternoon broke a tie with Justin Bouch for the career record for completions. He now has 570. He is fast approaching the school record for career yards passing and career total offense. He needs 253 yards to break the record for yards passing, and 287 for the total offense standard. Shutout First Since 2006 The Edinboro offense has gained most of the attention in 2008, but it had to take a backseat to the defense at Lock Haven. The Fighting Scots limit­ ed Lock Haven to 185 total yards while posting its first shutout since 2006. The last whitewashing was a 13-0 win over Qarion on October 21. Edinboro Remains Perfect on the Road Edinboro has now played four of its first five games on the road, and Next for the Fighting Scots Edinboro will play its second straight home game as lUP visits Sox Harrison Stadium on Saturday, October 11.

INCORPORATED In athletics, our regional rivals - Gannon University and Mercyhurst College - are now members of the PSAC-West. As a result, we're all more than eager to compete against our City of Erie neighbours! And in the spring, for the first time we'll field our varsity women's lacrosse team. H One company But there's even more happening at Edinboro University. I invite you to take a look around and you'll see the progress of the past year, and the ongoing new construction projects in many areas on campus. Sox Harrison Stadium's one million dollar renovation of a year ago - the artificial turf, lighting and new scoreboard - have been widely embraced throughout the region, making our stadium one of northwestern Pennsylvania's premier athletic field venues. Directly across Scotland Road from the stadium, our new multipurpose sports and recreation dome will soon be ready for business, meaning our varsity and intramural athletic teams will share one of the area's finest (and certainly the largest!) indoor practice facilities. Imagine training indoors on an NCAA regulation track or field while the wind howls and the snow flies in sub-freezing temperatures outside. But we'll also use the dome for much more than athletics. In fact, any major indoor event such as commencement and perhaps other community activities, for example, antique car shows, can and will be held there. Across Scot Road to the south, the first phase of our $115 million student housing project is on track for January occupan­ cy, bringing the finest in student living amenities to northwestern Pennsylvania. Continuing to head south on Scotland Road, the recent $20 million renovation and expansion of the Frank G. Pogue Student Center has quickly become a shin­ ing centerpiece and hub of campus activities. Many Solutions One company provides total document solutions for business.

I e5 Head Coach Head Coach "Scott has been a member of the Edinboro coaching staff for 20 years. He has demonstrated his ability to not only coach athletes on the playing field, but also to lead young men by the example of his character and by his dedi­ cation to them as students and as individuals. He will join our other highly successful coaches at Edinboro University." After serving as the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator in Lou Tepper's first season. Browning took over as the offensive coordinator in Scott Browning 3rd Year Ohio State '81 Scott Browning knows a thing or 2001. He had previously served as the offensive coordinator for five seasons under Tom Hollman. In all. Browning had served as Edinboro's offensive line coach the previous 12 years. Browning joined the Edinboro program in 1986 as the running backs coach under Steve Szabo. After two seasons on the offensive side of the ball, the graduate of The Ohio State University moved to the defensive side, serv­ ing as the defensive backfield coach under Hollman. In 1994 he moved back to offense as the offensive line coach. He had remained in charge of the line­ men since that time, coaching such All-Americans as Jeremy O'Day, Joe Valvoda and Greg Bzorek. The last two years Browning's offensive line led the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference in fewest sacks allowed. When Tepper came on board in 2000, Browning was appointed the two about the Edinboro football tradi­ tion. With twenty years under his belt as an assistant coach, he was all too familiar with the glory days of Edinboro football. So it didn't take him long to restore some lost tradi­ tions when he took over as the 13th head football coach of the Fighting Scots on January 5, 2006. Most prevalent was the return to the "Boro", the common name the football team was referred to during the 1980's and '90's, some of the most School Year successful periods in Edinboro football history. One thing Browning didn't mess with was New Mexico State (1982) the tradition of winning. In fact, in his first two Graduate Assistant 1982 seasons Browning has tied the record for most Idaho State (1983) wins by a coach with 13 victories. Only Bill Assistant Coach 1983 McDonald, who guided the 1969 and 1970 teams Ohio State (1984-85) to 13 wins, and Tom Hollman, who also totaled Graduate Assistant 1984 13 wins in 1988 and '89, can match Browning's Graduate Assistant 1985 Scott Browning's Coaching Background Coaching Duty Record Defensive Backs 3-8 Receivers 8-4 NCAA Division l-AA Playoffs Running Backs 9-3 Rose Bowl Running Backs 9-3 Citrus Bowl start. Edinboro (1986-present) His first edition finished with a 6-5 record, the most wins ever under a first-year coach. But it didn't end just on the football field. The Fighting Scots excelled in the classroom, including a cumulative team GPA of over 2.8 for the spring 1986 Assistant Coach Running Backs 7-3 1987 Assistant Coach Running Backs 3-8 1988 Assistant Coach Defensive Backs 5-4-1 1989 Assistant Coach Defensive Backs 8-3 semester. Browning became the first coach at Edinboro since Sox Harrison to win his first two games as head coach. That happened in 1926, the first year of football at the Boro. Thanks to a 28-14 win at West Chester, he became the first coach since Bill McDonald in 1969 to win his first game as head coach. That victory, on the road at West Chester between a pair of 2005 NCAA playoff teams, also displayed Browning's propensity as a riverboat gambler. The Fighting Scots went for it on fourth down four times, and made it three times. A year ago the Fighting Scots finished with a 7-4 record while facing one of the most difficult schedules in recent memory. Edinboro faced four nationally-ranked teams, upsetting 25th-ranked Bloomsburg thanks to a memorable comeback, 42-41, while losing to eighth-ranked California(Pa.), 17th-ranked West Chester and 24th-ranked lUP. In fact, Edinboro's four losses came to teams which combined for a 40-9. The Fighting Scots also continued the strong academic trend, with 15 players earning PSAC Scholar-Athlete honors. "I am very pleased to announce the promo­ tion of Scott Browning to the position of head football coach at Edinboro University," stated then-President Dr. Frank G. Pogue at the time. 1990 Assistant Coach Defensive Backs 9-3 1991 Assistant Coach Defensive Backs 7-4 Page 6 Notable PSAC West Champions NCAA Division II Playoffs NCAA Division II Playoffs 1992 Assistant Coach Defensive Backs 8-2-1 NCAA Division II Playoffs 1993 Assistant Coach Defensive Backs 8-3 NCAA Division II Playoffs 1994 Assistant Coach Offensive Line 7-3 1995 Assistant Coach Offensive Coordinator/ 9-2 Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ 6-4 Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ 4-6 Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ 4-7 Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ 3-8 1996 1997 1998 1999 PSAC West Champions NCAA Division II Playoffs Offensive Line 2000 Assistant Coach 2001 Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ 4-6 2002 Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ 5-6 Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ 9-3 2003 5-6 Offensive Line 2004 2005 Assistant Coach Offensive Coordinator/ Assistant Coach Offensive Line Offensive Coordinator/ PSAC West Champions NCAA Division II Playoffs 9-3 PSAC West Champions NCAA Division II Playoffs 8-2 PSAC West Champions Offensive Line 2006 Head Coach 6-5 2007 Head Coach 7-4 Edinboro Football 2008 ♦ Great Things Happen Here! who have the ability to.be success­ ful both in the classroom and on the football field. It is my sincere belief that when they take the field, they must wear the Edinboro jersey with pride, and when they are in the community, that they have earned the respect that comes with being a Fighting Scot." Browning has served on the staffs at three NCAA Division I institutions. Prior to joining the Fighting Scot staff, he coached receivers and running backs at Ohio State for two years while serving as a graduate assistant. That group included Keith Byars. The Buckeyes went to the Rose Bowl in 1984, dropping a 20-17 decision to USC to finish with a 9-3 record.

The toys go on to benefit underprivileged children at the St. Francis Youth Center in the South Bronx, where the center hosts a party for the kids, and the players get to play Santa. You really start to see it’s the little things that matter,” Koury says. “A $5 toy for a kid who might not normally get any toys dur­ ing Christmas, or very few at that - to see the smile on their face, it makes it really enjoyable and rewarding at the same time.” The players’ interaction with the children doesn’t, stop there. The sophomores, juniors and seniors use their volunteer hours to put together sports clinics at the youth center and even chaper­ one the kids at Columbia sporting events. [Last year] the kids came to campus and we sat through about a half of a basketball game, and by that point they were bouncing off the walls,” Koury says. So, to let the kids blow off some steam, the chaperones threw together an impromptu game of basketball in the recreational gym and even allowed the kids to try to pin their much larger idols in the wrestling room. We have our big, 280-pound lineman wrestling with one of these little kids, playing around, and everyone’s laughing,” Koury says. It was just a really awesome experience.” Awesome for the kids, and awesome for the players. “It’s so rewarding to be able to help out, even if it’s for an hour on a Saturday,” Koury says. “And the kids are so great. They’re just so grateful to hang out with you just for a little bit and be with somebody who loves what they love.” The same holds true for everyone involved in the freshman program.

You’ve got to work hard at getting that done. Obviously win­ ning kind of makes you believe, but at the same time you’ve got to change the mindset — that we are going to win, that it is going to happen — and so it becomes a mental condition that you have to get the players into. place when you turn around a situation that is very bad.

RIVALZ PITTSBURGH VS. WEST VIRGINIA Only seventy miles separate the campuses of Pittsburgh and West Virginia and even though a state line cuts between them, on game day, these teams and their fans are always standing toe-to-toe. The “Backyard Brawl” is the oldest and most intense rivalry in Big East History. Not limited to the gridiron, the rivalry spills onto the hardwood during basketball season, too. But between the sidelines is where this battle gains its ferocity. Last season, with Pitt finishing out a subpar season 11985 We never really cared all that! West Virginia when I went to school, mainly because Penn State was our biggest rival Boy|i wed get up for that Penn State game. But I guess you do have to give® little bit of credit to West Virginia. They always found their way to thP Indium for what was usually a great game. Now, when 1 say it was a great game, I strictly mean that as what tS tould consider a great game from a second-rate team. I’m telling you. I rooted for West Virginia to beat Penn State every time they played' because we always wanted something to make fun of Penn State for when they played us. Otherwise, we truly expected to beat V\fest Virginia v\dten we played them. It was a shock when we lost back-to-back games in ’83 and ’84. We were coming off seven straight wins, three of them atf< Mountaineer Field. And a couple of those wins weren’t even close. Back>$ when Pitt had teams that competed for the National Championship, when they tossed out a lineup featuring Dan Marino and Tony Dorsett, we never anticipated a close game with WVU. My sophomore year, in '82,1 remember trudging up the hill in Oakland to old Pitt Stadium, fully, anticipating a blowout. Well, the game turned out to be a tight one, buti the Panthers held on, 16-13, to give the Mountaineers their first loss of I the season. I remember playing them when Jeff Hostetler was their quarterback. Man, would we get on him. There would be students right down by the ;■ sidelines giving it to Old Hoss and they were saying things that we enviously can’t print here. But it was good-natured. Yeah, really good? Inatured. and the Mountaineers in the National Championship hunt, the Panthers walked into Morgantown and derailed West Virginia’s title dreams. Pitt holds the longest winning streak and the all-time series lead, but it’s been all West Virginia lately. Over 400 players who have participated in the annual game have gone on to the NFL. This rivalry has it all; 100 years of history, superstar players, great games, upsets and crazy alumni, two of which have decided to tell their side of the story on this page. THE MOST IMPORTANT.DECISIONS START WITH ,THE MOST IMPORTANT,PEOPLE Heisman Hopefuls PRESENTED BY Last season, Tim Tebow shocked the college football world and became the first underclassnian to win the Heisman Trophy. This year's field is chock full of talented candidates, from multifaceted quarterbacks to powerful running backs. Can Knowshon Moreno duplicate Tebow's feat in his sophomore season? Here's a look at five qamechangers who could be in NewYork come early December. THE HEISMAN BY SETH BERKMAN TIM TEBOW Chris Wells’ stats Junior, QB, Florida The Resume: Tebow's % dual-threat ability of running and throwing the ball negated coach Urban Meyer's need for utilizing a two-QB system in '07. The Tebow Show not only passed for 32 TDs, he also ran for 23 scores and 895 yards. With wideout Percy Harvin on his side, as well as USC transfer and former Pac-10 Freshman of the Year Emmanuel Moody in the backfield, the Gators offense should be among the bestin the nation. Bottom Line:Tebow's facing a much tougher individual field in '08 and may suffer a backlash if given their talent, the Gators don't play for the national title. 2007 STATS Att Com 350 234 Yds 3,286 Team: Florida TDs I NTs 32 6 CHRIS WELLS Junior, RB, Ohio State The Resume: "Beanie" was a beast for the Buckeyes last season, picking up over 1,600 yards in his first full season as a starter. But what endeared him most to the Columbus faithful was a 222-yard performance against Michigan, helping Ohio State earn a berth in the BCS Championship Game.Though they came up short against LSU, Wells should put up similar numbers this season as the Buckeyes will once again contend for the crown. If there is one area where he could improve, it would be his receiving skills as he caught only five passes in '07. Bottom Line: Wells is one of the names consistently mentioned in the argument of who is the best college running back and has a great shot of winning the Heisman out of the backfield. runner-up Darren McFadden and the i Arkansas Razorbacks, 38-7). Yes, he did TeamTOhfo State" : Att : 274 Yds 1,609 Avg 5.9 TDs 15 have 536 passing attempts last season, but Daniel flashed the accuracy and arm strength that proved he was more than just a product of a system. With many PAT WHITE starters back in tow this season, the '07 Heisman finalist could put up even better numbers in '08. Bottom Line: Daniel might lose points for Missouri's pass-heavy system, but will be hard to overlook if he throws for over 4,500 yards and 35TDs. ' Senior, QB, West Virginia The Resume: White may not have gaudy passing numbers like Tebow or Daniel, but he is much more dangerous on the ground and perhaps the bigger threat when the ball is in his hands. Last season he carried the Mountaineers to the Fiesta Bowl, where they beat Oklahoma, 48-28. White threw for 14 touchdowns and also ran for 14, picking up 1,335 yards rushing along the way.

In fact, most folks outside of The Show-Me State probably had no clue. But Daniel showed everyone that he was the nation's best-kept secret, leading the unheralded Tigers to the Big 12 North title and a berth in the Cotton Bowl (where Daniel and company beat Heisman Team: Missouri j TDs I NTs ; 33 11 J KNOWSHON MORENO Sophomore, RB, Georgia The Resume: Bulldog fans are clamoring to to put up over 1,000 yards, voters will be looking for White to show he can proficiently toss the pigskin. Bottom Line: Like Tebow, a large part of his Heisman hype will rely on how well his team does; if West Virginia fails to make the national title game, it will be very hard for a Big East player to take home the Heisman, even if he throws and rushes for over 1,500 yards. Yds see more of Moreno, as the speedy back came out of nowhere to rush for over 1,300 yards in his freshman season. That was perhaps only a glimpse of-what he has to offer, as he started onfy six of Georgia's 12 regular season contests. Many have compared the New Jersey native to all-time college football great Herschel Walker, and while that may be a bit premature, there's no doubting Moreno's talent for bursting through the hole and finding the end zone. Bottom Line: He may be one year away from serious contention, but Tebow showed last year that a dynamic sophomore can win the trophy, and Moreno is already arguably the best back in the country. 12007 STATS !

The USC-Notre Dame rivalry began in 1926 due to the friendship and Coaching the Irish after the legendary Knute Rockne died in a plane crash a few months earlier was Hunk Anderson. The Trojan coach was Howard Jones, known as “The Head Man.” Howard Jones had a face like chiseled granite and a reputation for turning ordinary college men into grid Rockne, he was one of America’s winningest coaches.

The series brought big-time college football to the West Coast. Howard Jones beat Rockne only once in six meetings, 22-14 in 1928, but three Rockne wins were by one point. Each game was a full-house, in the LA. Coliseum and in Chicago’s Soldier Field. In his book, “How to Play and Coach Football,” Jones wrote: “Beating Rockne was Americans at USC. one of my greatest thrills.” The L.A.

Coach Jones, himself an All-American end at Yale, coached previously at Iowa, Yale, Ohio State and Syracuse. He described football as “fun mainly for the battling, rough and tumble combat in it.” On that November day in 1931 in South Bend, a full crowd watched the grid war between these two remarkable teams. Notre Dame held a 26-game winning streak and, capitalizing on Trojan fumbles, they led 14-0 in the third quarter. But, for all that, he was an advocate of clean play and he bred in his players a supreme team spirit. After the 1931 victory over Notre Dame, Jones wrote in the Los Angeles Evening Herald: “This team rose to competitive heights.” But it was Jones that took them there. His players remembered him with admiration and respect. In -the locker room correct’em.” Andathehalftime, advised the themUSC to One such player is Nick Pappas.

But guard Johnny Baker kicked a perfect field goal and USC won, 16 to 14. Jones admitted that in his 23 years of coaching this win over the Irish was one of his most satisfying. In an interview with this writer, USC quarterback Gus Shaver explained that, “Coach Said Pappas, “Jones was the essence of dignity - until you missed a block or tackle. Then he said, ‘gol darn,’ or ‘by gad.’ If he said, ‘by gad’ to you, you were in trouble.” How did the Head Man get a team up for an opponent? “Before a game,” Nick said. “Jones told the squad, ‘you’ve got to want to win.’ He meant it. And he said to me, ‘Pap, run today like you’re going through a brick wall.’” Was Jones a hard loser? Pappas nodded. “Our teams lost a few. The main thing was clean play and team spirit.” Howard Jones, The Head Man," coached University of Southern Caiifornia to six nationai tities and five Rose Bowi conquests, intersectionai dashes with Knute Rockne's Fighting irish brought Athletes those days went sixty minutes, he said, and conditioning was important. “We did heavy calisthenics and lots of wind sprints.

Ray George, a tackle, PHOTO COURTESY OF USC SPORTS was our biggest guy at G’l”, 220 pounds.” When he thought about the equipment they used, Pappas grinned. “Thin padding, leather helmets, no face guards. My nose was broken three times.” Asked about their offense, Nick answered, “We were mostly a running team. We didn’t pass much. A lot of our plays were off tackle and end-arounds.” Sportswriter Braven Dyer Jr. said the Trojans ran at their opponents like a thundering herd. Jones himself told his linemen, “If they outweigh you get the jump on’em.” In 1928, against Pop Warner’s Stanford team, Stanford’s line was 10 pounds heavier per man. USC only made four first downs, but still won, 10-0. Nick also described a tricky shift they used to keep their opponents ?!lTouchdown Illustrated Howard Jones — The Heart Man CONTINUED guessing, sometimes lining up with both guards to the right c the center. It was part of Howard Jones’ guile. They also useci reverses, end-around and the tackle-eligible play. ' Al Wesson, sports publicist for USC from 1925 to 194? interviewed in 1982, recalled that Jones worked day and night, “He was thorough and intense. He demanded the best frorr his players. He showed them how to block and he took some bumps for his trouble. So did the players.” It was Wesson whc first called Jones the “Head Man.” These rigid preparations got the team ready for theii opponents, Pappas said. The toughest games? “They all were,!’ said Nick. “Washington was tough in Seattle in the rain and mud. Notre Dame was always up for us. And UCLA with Kenny Washington and Jackie Robinson gave us great competition. They were hard to bring down.” Pappas recalled that even when things were going well for them, Jones wasn’t satisfied. “I remember one play against Illinois. I started an end run, cut through tackle and gained five yards. Didn’t seem like a bad play to me. But Coach Jones took me aside and said, 'Pap, you cut too soon. You could’ve gone further.’” Morley Drury was another Trojan athlete who revered his former coach. In 1982, the 82-year-old Drury said, “Howard Jones was a disciplinarian. But he was very fair, and he believed in the players. He taught sportsmanship and perfect execution.” Drury, winner of letters in five sports, was called “The Noblest Trojan, by Mark Kelly of the Los Angeles Examiner. After Pappas graduated in 1938, he entered law school and Jones hired him as an assistant coach. For additional money Pappas worked a^'an extra in films. I subbed for Pat O’Brien in ‘Knute Rockne: All-American.’ I was Rockne as a player, going out for a pass.” He coached and taught at Handford High (CA) in 1941 and 1942. During World War II he earned a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for action in the Pacific. Nick recalled, “When a kamikaze sunk our detroyer, we were all in the water. I saved two sailors from drowning. One of the sailors later became a detective for the New York Police Department.” Nick went from football hero to war hero. After coaching at his alma mater, he helped raise funds for the sports program and he presided over the Howard Jones Memorial Foundation. “These funds,” he said, “helped athletes stay in school and complete their education.” Later he worked as an administrator of endowment funds. Ambrose “Amby” Schindler was another Trojan of the thirties who ran through brick walls for the Head Man. He entered USC with good credentials. At San Diego High School he was AilSouthern California in 1933 and 1934. A number of colleges wanted him but he asserts that, “Howard Jones was the man ! wanted to play for. He was one of the best coaches in the country and I was used to his system.” The system was the single wing, and Schindler described it as a power game. ^Touchdown Illustrated I Howard Jones — The Head Man CONTINUED ^ck Pappas, quarterback in the thirties, is show n ' here when he was president of the Howard Jones Foundation in 198?.

WEBER the Lakers in a rematch, rolling in with a 14-0 record. But four turnovers stymied the Bearcats, resulting in a heartbreaking 12-14 defeat. Last season, t’s 10 o’clock on a Thursday morning, and Mel Tjeerdsma is in the middle of tackling his usual second cup of coffee when the question is tossed I his way. Tjeerdsma’s team climbed the mountain again, knocking off three 12-0 teams in the playoffs before running out of gas in the championship against Valdosta State, losing 25-20. For most head coaches, win or lose, leading a football team to the cusp of a “OK coach, half empty or half full?” Chuckling, he looks down at the mug on his desk in his Lamkin Activity Center office and considers his reply. The steam that wafted from it a few minutes ago has dissipated along with much of the volume, but it’s a fair query nonetheless. That’s because Tjeerdsma knows the question has very little to do with what’s left to drink. During the past three seasons, the Northwest Missouri State head football coach has led the Bearcats to the Division II national championship game at Braly Stadium in Florence, Alabama. And on each occasion, his team has seen their title hopes dashed against the cold shoals of December disappointment. In 2005, they entered the game an unlikely challenger for the title, ranked 22nd in the country with an 11-4 record before falling short in the final national championship once is taxing enough. But three times in succession? Without a victory? You’ll forgive Tjeerdsma if he sees the negative inside that cup of joe. And yet... “Half full,” he answers with a hint of Midwest staccato. “Definitely half full.” This season, Tjeerdsma (pronounced “Church-ma”) has good reason to maintain his trademark optimism as the Bearcats attempt to make it fourtitle appearances in a row. With 13 seniors returning, including steady quarterback Joel Dsborn (6-2, 22D lbs., Harlan, lA], plus a hungry defense boastingan experienced secondary, the Bearcats are once again ranked among the top programs in Division II football. It’s a lofty perch they’ve enjoyed for most of their head coach’s 15year tenure, which has resulted in an NCAA Division ll-record 22 playoff wins (the most by any head coach), plus nine Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic minutes to powerhouse Grand Valley State, 21-12. In 2006, Northwest met \ ^Touchdown Illustrated Senior signal caller Joel M? THE DOOR ia - CONTINUED Osborn has been a solid performer over the course of his collegiate career. X “ \ I'm here to IP * you money on car insurance. ... — ■W.'l! iMMtM Association conference titles and two national championships and counting. I feel good about this group,” Tjeerdsma says. “Every one of our seniors is an integral part of the team and will be counted on. That’s not always the case. We ve got strong leadership this season, no doubt about it.” But effective leadership does not materialize overnight. On the Maryville campus, it accumulates like sediment, with Bearcat players understanding t e importance of hard work and dedication, policing each other in order to build upon the progress made by the team before. It’s a culture of success. “Coach Jets you work with your teammates and figure solutions out on your own,” says Osborn, an academic All-American math major who enters his final year ranked first in team history for career completion percentage (6?.9 percent) after taking over the starting duties midway through last season. He’ll make his observations, but he gives the players a chance to do their jobs. A lot of coaches try to have control over things, but I think his way of doing things makes our team better.” Regardless of the approach, national titles are not guaranteed, of course. But Tjeerdsma emphasizes that’s not the point. The thing you have to understand is the bar is set really high here ” he says. “It’s not like we say we have to [accomplish] something, but our players expect to win the conference and make the playoffs and be back for the national championship game.” That wasn’t always the case. Prior to Tjeerdsma’s arrival in the spring of 1994, the Bearcats were bottom feeders among Division II programs, sporting uneven success at best with two playoff appearances since 1984 and back- to-back winning seasons just once in 19?5 and ’?6. What’s more, the program offered less-tl;)an-stellar facilities compared to Its MIAA counterparts and enjoyed very lit^Te support. “We had our share of diehard fans, but overall, let’s just say things were bad,” Tjeerdsma says. t , i Reminiscent of Chuck Noll’s first season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 [1-13] and Jimmy Johnson’s initial Dallas Cowboys campaign in 1989 [1-15], change was not evident right away when Tjeerdsma took over the Northwest program. His 1994 team lost all 11 games, and his ’95 edition dropped the first two. But something happened following that season-opening defeat to South Dakota State during his second year that gave Tjeerdsma reason for hope. “We lost in the last minute, 10-6, but I knew we had turned the corner because when I got in that locker room, we had guys in tears,” he says. “That was the difference. Losing meant something to them whereas the year before Get a free rate quote today they accepted it. Then in ’96, that same group of guys made it to the playoffs, where we lost to [eventual national champion] Northern Colorado in the last 10 seconds. Even though we didn’t win, our kids believed they’d win the national title. It’s been that way ever since.” Two years later, the Bearcats took home their first national crown. In 1999, they repeated as national champions. But with consistent success comes the specter of complacency.

Akeem Etheridge, Slippery Rock Tom Davidson, Edinboro 2007-08 Top Ten Award Winners Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Commissioner Steve Murray is proud to recognize 1,488 student-athletes from the league who will be known as “ScholarAthletes” for the 2007-08 academic year. The total eclipses last year’s figure of 1,420. Atop the list are the 2007-08 PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes Year: Mansfield's Chris Cummings and Slippery Rock's Jennifer Hansen. of the The PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athlete of the Year Awards are presented to the top student-athletes who have achieved at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average while competing at an outstanding athletic level. Student-athletes must have been recognized as a Fall, Winter or Spring Top Ten Award winner to be eligible. In its 18th year of existence, the awards were renamed in 2007 to honor East Stroudsburg's long-time sports information director Pete Nevins, who passed away earlier that year after a short battle with cancer. Nevins held his position at ESU for 33 years, and it is estimated that he wrote articles on more than 12,000 ESU events that covered more than 5,000 student-athletes. Cummings, a graduate student at Mansfield, excelled in his final season of eligibility. He was the only PSAC male to garner All-America honors in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field. His highest national showing came with a secondplace finish in the mile during the indoor championships. At other NCAA Championships, he placed sixth in the 1,500m during the outdoor season, and was 26th at the cross country nationals. During the indoor season, Cummings won the mile and ran a leg of the winning distance medley relay at the PSAC Championships. He was crowned co-MVP of the meet and was later recognized as the 2008 PSAC Indoor Track Athlete of the Year. Recently named an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient, Cummings maintained a 4.0 GPA while pursuing his master's degree in education. As an undergraduate, Cummings carried a 3.86 GPA as a physics major. He finishes his storied career at Mansfield as a five-time All-American - twice each in indoor and outdoor track and field, and once in cross country. Between the two track seasons, the Mansfield native owns school records in nine individual and four relay events. Hansen, a junior elementary education major, has established a 4.0 GPA. The Charleston, W. Va. product continues to set new standards in the pole vault, which includes All-America citations during this year's indoor and outdoor seasons, finishing third at both national events. Her outdoor season included a vault of 13-3.75 at the league championships, establishing a new meet record. Coupled with her third-place effort in the long jump, Hansen was named the Most Valuable Field Athlete for the meet. Just a few weeks earlier Hansen established a new PSAC overall record in the pole vault, clearing 135.25 at Allegheny's Gator Invitational. It marked the fourth time in two weeks that she had broken the conference record. During the indoor season, Hansen registered a meet and overall record by vaulting 13-1.25 at the conference championship and was later honored as the PSAC Field Athlete of the Year. Hansen was one of only three PSAC student-athlete to earn first-team Academic AllAmerica status from ESPN The Magazine, and the only one to do so in the cross country/track and field category. She is a five-time PSAC Champion and four-time All- ► Trevor Harris, Edinboro (Football / Waldo, Ohio) P- Kelley Healey, Kutztown (Field Hockey / Toms River, N.J.)

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY OE PENNSYLVANIA ATHLETIC FUND DRIVE endowed scholarships our student-athletes picked up this year. UPGRADED FACILITIES: Edinboro’s athletic facilities have made a quantum leap the last two years. Sox Harrison Stadium was renovated a year ago, com­ plete with a new artificial playing surface, lights, and a new scoreboard, along with improvements to local rooms in the facility. Journeying over to McComb Fieldhouse, the longawaited weight room project was completed last summer. Edinboro athletes can now work out with some of the finest state-of-the-art exercise and weight training equip­ ment. The gymnasium floor has a bright new paint job that caught tne eye of many this past year. ON THE HORIZON: We anticipate that by the time 2009 rolls around the new air-supported dome will be completed. This structure, like the new surface at Sox Harrison Stadium, will accommodate not only ath­ letics but many other campus activities. It obviously will provide our athletic teams a tremendous opportu­ nity to practice inside during those blustery Edinboro winter days. In addition, you will notice a renewed emphasis on track & field, along with the ability to expand our camp offerings. We’re very proud of everything that has been accomplished, not only this past year but in previous years. We look forward to wiat lies ahead in the future, realizing that it will indeed be a challenge. Other Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference schools are experiencing many of the same improvements we are, or have done so in recent years. The support of the administration and the Student Government Association is greatly appreciated. But we can’t stop there. Our Edinboro Family must continue to grow. 1 can’t tell you how valuable your support has been since the start of the Annual Athletic Fund. We hope you’ll once again choose to sit down and contribute to the Athletic Fund. If you haven’t contributed in the past, please explore the possibility of helping Edinboro not only maintain its athletic tradi­ tion, but move forward. Finally, please spread the word around. The greatest way we can prosper is by net­ working, so please tell a friend or two about the Annual Athletic Fund As always, thanks for your support. If you haven’t had an opportunity to do so recently, come and visit us and get a first hand look at what is happening.

The phrase was coined by new Edinboro University President Dr. Jeremy Brown, and it certainly is appropriate for the success the athletic department has enjoyed. What is truly rewarding is the continued success we enjoy year-in and year-out. We’re not talking about a one year phenomenon. Fighting Scot athletic teams have enjoyed tremendous success for many years now. The 2007-08 season saw Edinboro athletic teams post an overall record of 148-84-3. That’s just the start of what will go down as a memorable campaign. SUPERIOR COACHING STAFF: I’ve always felt that Edinboro has assembled a coaching staff that rivals not only the best in the PSAC, but in all of Division II. For starters, men’s basketball coach Greg Walcavich became just the ninth active coach in Division II with 500 wins. Women’s basketball coach Stan Swank eclipsed 350 wins this past year, while Missy Soboleski (volleyball) and Jim Glatch (wheelchair basketball) topped 200 wins and women’s soccer coach Gary Kagiavas went over the 100-win plateau. All Tim Flynn has done is lead his wrestling program to ten Eastern Wrestling League crowns in 11 years and nine PSAC titles in tnat same period. He has been named the Coach of the Year in at least one of the two leagues in nine of those 11 campaigns. Long-time cross country coach Doug Watts was once again recognized by the PSAC as its Men's Coach of the Year. SCOTS DOMINATE INDIVIDUAL HONORS: If there is one thing that stood out above all else this year, it was the incredible individual success our student-ath­ letes enjoyed. No fewer than six Fighting Scots were named the PSAC Player of the Year in their respective sports (Gregor Gillespie - wrestling; Trevor Harris football; Brooke Heath - women’s swimming; Rachael Lanzel - women’s cross country; Ryan McLemore men’s basketball; and Jenna Newman - volleyball. In addition, three Scots were named PSAC Rookie of the year - Chris Honeycutt (wrestling), Barry McLaughlin (men’s cross country); and Katie Wilkins (volleyball). Last, but certainly not least, three coaches earned PSAC Coach of the Year accolades - Tim Flynn (wrestling); Gary Kagiavas (women’s soccer); and Doug Watts (men’s cross country). Those are just a few of the honors Captains $250 Sept. 6 Sept. 13 Sept. 20 Sept. 27 Oct. 4 Oct. 11 Oct. 18 Oct. 25 Nov. 1 Nov. 8 AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL L, INDIANA(PA) L, EDINBORO L, at Cheyney w, BLOOMSBURG L, at Shippensburg at West Chester MILLERSVILLE EAST STROUDSBURG at Kutztown at Lock Haven Mercyhurst C3“2) $100 Aug. 30 This Week in the PSAC 2008 Standings Scots C.W.

Edinboro Football 2008 ♦ Great Things Happen Here! Page 59 Today's Feature A Look at CDR James M. Landas and Today’s Flyover Prior to today's kickoff Edinboro University football fans will be treated to a flyover by the Navy^s E-2C Haweye. The pilot of today's E-2C Hawkeye flyover is Edinboro graduate Commander James M. Landas. E-2C Hawkeye Info The E-2C Hawkeye is the U.S. Navy's all-weather, carrier-based tactical airborne warning and control system platform. It provides all-weather airborne early warning and command and control functions for the car­ rier battle group. There currently is one squadron of four Hawkeye air­ craft in each carrier air wing (CVW). In addition to its primary AEW function, the E-2C can also provide strike control, area surveillance, search and rescue guidance, navigational assistance, communications relay, and drug interdiction. VAW-126 flies the upgraded Hawkeye 2000, with upgraded avionics and communications equipment. VAW-126 SEAHAWKS SQUADRON HISTORY Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron ONE TWO SIX (VAW126), nicknamed the SEAHAWKS, is an integral part of the tactical air forces of the United States Navy. VAW-126 is one of six Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadrons based in Norfolk. Equipped with four E-2C "Hawkeye 2000" aircraft, the squadron's primary mission is on-scene airborne command and control for the Joint Warfare Commander. VAW-126 implements command and control through diverse operations such as fighter intercept and air strike control, ocean surveillance, search and rescue coordination, airborne battle-space man­ agement, and dynamic strike control. VAW-126 was commissioned in Norfolk, VA April 1st, 1969. Equipped with four E-2A Hawkeye aircraft, the squadron was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing SEVENTEEN assigned to USS FORRESTAL (CV 59). Following completion of their first deployment in July 1970, the squadron transitioned to the E-2B. This was a newer version of the same aircraft, equipped with a more flexible, digital computer weapons system. The command received accolades early in its history, winning the highly coveted COMNAVAIRLANT Battle Readiness Efficiency "E" and the CNO Safety "S" Award in 1971. The squadron won the Battle "E" a second time in 1974. While homeward bound in September 1974, the squadron trans­ ferred to USS AMERICA (CV 66). The NATO deployment marked VAW-126's final E-2B flying as well. Following their return to Norfolk in October 1974, the squadron began its transition to the E-2C, Group 0 variant, an aircraft similar in appearance to its predecessor, but with a significantly more capable and reliable weapons system. In August 1975, the squadron commenced operations in the Caribbean with CVW-9, based at NAS Miramar, California. In May 1976, they began the first of many trips moving the entire squadron back and forth between Norfolk and Miramar to operate with CVW-9 and prepare for their upcoming deployment aboard USS CONSTELLA­ TION (CV 64). The squadron made their second and final Western Pacific deployment with USS CONSTELLATION in May 1978. The SEAHAWKS joined USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 67) and CVW-1 upon returning to the East coast in 1979. In July 1981, VAW-126 joined CVW-3, which replaced CVW-1 as the air wing deployed aboard USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 67). The September 1983 to May 1984 deployment was a record breaking one for VAW-126. The SEAHAWKS departed for the Mediterranean aboard USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 67) a second time in August 1986. By November 1987 the squadron was back aboard USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 67) in preparation for their next deployment. 1988 proved to be another outstanding year for the SEAHAWKS. In Jime, the Carrier Strike Group assembled for FLEETEX 2-88 and the SEA­ Page 6o HAWKS departed with USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 67) in August for its 4th deployment on board. CDR James M.
