Today’s Game

Edinboro celebrates its third straight Homecoming game, but
P. this time it's its own. The Fighting Scots return home three straight
games on the road, two of those contests Homecoming affairs. A
week ago Edinboro spoiled Clarion's Homecoming festivities with
a hard-fought 21-10 victory. That boosted the Fighting Scots to 3-2
i overall and 1-1 in the PSAC West.
Today's opponent has already matched last year's win total, as
California(Pa.) is 4-1 overall and 1-1 in league play while facing
plenty of adversity the last two weeks. The Vulcans possess the top­
scoring offense in the PSAC at 41.2 ppg. despite losing their starting
quarterback for the season two weeks ago.
Cal ultimately suffered its lone loss of the season that night at
Clarion, 35-34, as the Golden Eagles rallied from a 34-22 deficit with
just over four minutes to play. In fact, the Vulcans are but a 47-yard

Edinboro head coach Lou Tepper (Rutgers 67) is his
fifth season in charge of the Fighting Scots. He owns
a record of 26-23 at Edinboro, and including five sea­
sons as the head coach at the University of Illinois,
has an overall record of 51-54-2. Tepper was named
the 2003 PSAC West Coach of the Year and was also
recognized as Edinboro's Coach of the Year.
Renowned as a defensive genius, Tepper has worked
on the staffs of some of the top programs in the coun­
try', including Virginia Tech, Colorado and LSU. But his greatest notori
ety came at Illinois, where he coached from 1989-96. The defensive
coordinator and later assistant head coach from 1988-91, Tepper was
^ appointed the Fighting lUini 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 Ulini to two more bowl games while posting
a 25-31-2 ledger.
John Luckhardt (Purdue '68) is in his third year as
the head coach at Califomia(Pa.) after a legendary
17-year stint at Washington & Jefferson. Luckhardt
owns a 14-13 record at Cal, including 4-7 a year ago.
While at W&J, Luckhardt registered a 137-37-2
record and led the Presidents to 13 Presidents'
Athletic Conference championships, five NCAA

Division III regional championships, and 11 appearances in the NCAA
Playoffs. That included a pair of title game appearances. He returned
after a four-year layoff to take over the Vulcan program two years ago.
Luckhardt has an overall record of 151-50-2.

The Edinboro-CalifomiaCPa.) Series
Tied at 34-34-2

Edinboro has won the last two meetings to even the all-tune senes.
While the teams have played on even terms the last five meetings, ^e
Vulcans have not won at Sox Harrison Stadiiun since 1987, with
Edinboro claiming the last eight contests on home turf.

Last Week’s Games
Edinboro sx, Clctrion 10

The first half was one head coach Lou Tepper would rather forget,
but Tepper enjoyed the second half, calling it Edinboro football .
Edinboro turned the ball over three times in the first half and managed
just 100 yards in total offense, but a staimch defensive effort limted
Clarion to 74 yards and a field goal. Five of Clarion's six first half pos­
sessions started in Edinboro territory.
The second half was an entirely different story as Andre Burke car­
ried 29 times for 129 yards and touchdown runs of 1, 21 and 1 yards.
The junior tailback ended the day with 173 yards on 40 carries, tied for
the second-most carries in school history.
The defense, meanwhile, continued its brilliant play, Umiting the
Golden Eagles to 169 total yards, 65 of that coming on a three-play drive
early in the fourth quarter when they pulled to within 14-10.
CaKfixmiaCEcu) 34, Slippery Rock 31

Califomia(Pa.) took advantage of a pair of Slippery Rock fumbles
in the first ninety seconds of the game to go up 24-0 less than eight rninutes into the game. The Rock rallied, however, for a 31-27 lead entering
the fourth quarter. Cal scored thqivinning touchdown with 7:45 to play
as Antoine BagweU capped one of the greatest rushing efforts ever at Cal
with an 8-yard run.
Bagwell finished the night with 278 yards on 31 carries, the fourthhighest rushing total in Cal history. The effort earned the junior PSAC
West Offensive Player of the Week honors.
All told Cal rushed for 361 yards, as freshman quarterback Matt
Humbert added 75 yards on eight carries in his first start, including a 68yard TD run. Humbert completed 11 of 21 passes for 89 yards.

Head. Coach Lou Tepper

Head Coach Lou Tepper
eteran Division I mentor Lou
Tepper was appointed the 12th
head football coach at Edrnboro
University, officially taking charge
of the Fighting Scot program on
January 5, 2000. He promised a
tough and classy program, and in
four short years has delivered a
championship team that fans and
alumni enthusiastically endorse.
Tepper inherited an Edinboro
program which had won just
eleven games in the previous three
seasons. The Scots have shown
consistent improvement in "Coach
Tep's" four years, culminated by an
appearance in the NCAA Division
11 Playoffs this past year. The 2000 season brought a 5-6 record, matchine the Edinboro record for wins by a first-year head coach, and a fifth
place PSAC finish
In 2001 and 2002, the
'’We had an outstanding pool of
candidates to choose from, but Lou's Fighting Scots were
very competitive,
integrity, coaching background and
setting the stage for
national notoriety stood out above
last year's break­
through season that
the rest. We feel Edinboro provides
saw

the opportunity to be one of the top
ranked 18th nation­
programs in the PSAC, and look at

Edinboro
our program to that level."

West championship.
The Fighting Scots survived a brutal three-game stretch early in the sea­
son, defeating 16th-ranked East Stroudsburg, 30-21, droppmg a 40-!M
decision to 22nd-ranked Shippensburg, and finally upsetting fomlhranked Indiana(Pa.) on the Indians' home turf, 28-20. That win pro­
pelled the Scots to a six-game winning streak to end the regular season.
During that stretch Edinboro held opponents without a touchdo^for
20 consecutive quarters. Tepper was recognized as the PSAC West
Coach of the Year in 2004.

f
While winning is important, it isn't the only empnasis at
Edinboro with Tepper at the controls. He has stressed improved char­

BIG TEN HEAD COACH

The 58-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 lUini head coach, Tepper com­
piled a record of 25-31-2, including two more bowl appearances. He
^ided Illinois to a pair of wins over Ohio State, including one at
Columbus; the school's first victory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in
27 years; and three consecutive wins over rival Iowa by a combed
score of 122-17. Just as impressive, Tepper graduated 91 percent of his

Through the years Penn State had gained the
reputation as "Linebacker U", but Illinois could have
made a good case for that designation as well dxiring Tepper's tenure. He produced consecutive
Butkus Award winners in Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along the way, he also pro­
duced Big Ten Defensive Players of the Year in Moe
Gardner and Darrick Brow^ow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the
Year Simeon Rice in 1994. For the only time in Big
Ten history, Tepper had four first team All-Big Ten
linebackers at his disposal. In all, he has coached
over 20 professional linebackers, and has published
a book, "Complete Linebacking", a 312-page com­
prehensive book on linebacker play.
Hardy and Rice became the highest defensive
draft duo in the history of the NFL draft in 1996
when Hardy went second to Jacksonville and Rice
third to Arizona. That stood until the 2000 NFL
Draft when Penn State's Courtney Brown and Lavar
Arrington went one-two.

COACH'S VIEWPOINT

Head coach Paul Johnson has righted the ship at the Naval Academy and has the fonthall

BY JON COOPER

hen Paul Johnson left Division l-AA powerhouse Georgia
Southern prior to the 2002 season to become the head coach

W

at the U.S. Naval Academy, he inherited a program that had
won only one game in its previous two seasons—^their 1-20
record in that span was the low-water mark in the 122year history of Navy football.
Johnson, who had been Navy's offensive
coordinator during the 1995 and '96 seasons,
brought back the same triple-option offense that
had worked so well during his first tour of duty (Navy's
last Bowl win had come in the 1996 Aloha Bowl) and
had helped Georgia Southern win back-to-back
l-AA championships while recording an impressive

^

since 85-that it was then-No. 25 Air Force made it even sweeterand made it two-for-two against the Black Knights, this time winning
34-6. Johnson was rewarded by being named a finalist for the Eddie

62-10 ledger.
The Midshipmen finished 2-10 in his first season, but
ended on a high note, embarrassing archrival Army,
58-12. The 58 points were an Army-Navy Game record and
the margin of victory was the second biggest in
the series.
Last season, Johnson's squad went 8-5,
leading the nation in rushing (323.2 ypg),
winning the Commander-in-Chief Trophy
for the first time since 1981, beating a

Robinson Coach of the Year Award and earning a contract
extension through 2009.
The 47-year-old native of Newland, N.C., talked with
Touchdown Illustrated abonX successfully returning to
Annapolis, restoring the proud tradition of Navy football
and visiting the White House.
TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED: What has been the
keyto the turnaround at Navy since you've taken over?
PAUL JOHNSON; There are several-factors. One of
the biggest is attitude. Like in anything, it's so important
to have the proper attitude. I think we were fortunate
when we came in that we got the players to buy
into the system and to raise their standards
a little bit and have the right kind of attitude
to work.

THANKS TO TAILBACKS MARION
BARBER III AND LAURENCE MARONEY,
THE MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS
ARE SCORING POINTS AND SETTING
RECORDS AT A HISTORIC PACE
BY JON COOPER

Marion Barber III, a redshirt
junior, was a First-Team
All-Big Ten selection after
gaining 1,196 yards and
scoring 17 touchdowns on
the ground in 2003.

t's been a long time since the University of

lillli

Minnesota football team had a piece of the Big

Ten championship. Thatwas back in 1967, when
Minnesota, Purdue and Indiana all finished 6-1 in the

conference, with Indiana getting the Rose Bowl bid.
It’s been even longer since UM won the Big Ten title and had a
Heisman Trophy winner. You have to go back to 1941 for that when
halfback Bruce Smith led the Gophers to a perfect 8-0 season
(5-0 in the conference) and an undisputed league championship.
The 2004 Golden Gophers may have the best chance in recent
memory to bring back the memories of that magic season, thanks
to a pair of tailbacks, redshirt junior Marion Barber III and true
sophomore Laurence Maroney.
Led by these two backs and a system that systematically
runs the ball down opponents'throats, the Golden Gophers have gone
from guaranteed walkover to a steamroller capable of running over—or
around—any team in the nation.
"They're both very talented kids," said Minnesota co-offensive
coordinator/tight ends and tackles coach Mitch Browning. "They're
excellent football players who play with a lot of heart and a lot of
enthusiasm. Marion's probably a little bit better of an inside-andoutside runner right now because of his maturity and strength, but
Laurence has great speed and quickness.
"Both of them have excellent hands catching the football out
of the backfield. They both can protect We're anticipating great
things from them this year."

have vi^i^ad extremely hard."
Barber and Maroney agree.
"I like everything about [the system]," said
Barber. "{Coach Mason] just gives you a great
opportunity, and he has a great staff behind him.
It's just the attitude around here. It keeps us
really focused."
"We run the ball so much that we think we
jean run against any defense," added Maroney.

last season. Barber and Maroney
helped the Golden Gophers get off to a
6-0 start, the school's best since 1987, a
seven-game win streak, the school's first
since 1961, and a 10-win season, the first
since 1905.
It's little wonder that the sky has been
the limit in 2004.
"Feeding off last season, it's only going to get

that people are going to be watching out for our running

Browning and head coach Glen Mason probably would
be happy if they merely matched last year's success.
Barber and Maroney sparked the nation's third-best
rushing attack (289.2 yards per game), as the Golden Gophers
became only the 30th backfield in NCAA history to boast a
pair of 1,000-yard rushers in the same season.
"When we first came here, we were last in the Big
Ten in rushing offense," Browning said. "The offense

A graduate of Normandy High School
in Missouri, Maroney was a two-time allstate selection, as well as the 2002 St. Louis

sides of the football.

2002 season. Browning insists Maroney's
promotion was not caused by Jackson's
transfer, but instead, Jackson's transfer was
caused by Maroney's progress.
"To be honest Laurence outplayed Terry," said Browning. "Laurence
is a phenomenal football player and he'$ only going to get better because
he's still relatively inexperienced. Terry Jackson did a great job for us.
He had a phenomenal year in 2002. But truth be known, we had better
running backs than him last year and the best guys played."
Maroney started the year excelling on special teams. He returned a
kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown in the season's second week against Troy
State, then further opened eyes two weeks later with a 132-yard day against
Louisiana-Lafayette. And he didn't need to start to make his impact.
Maroney proved to be lethal coming off the bench.
Following back-to-back tough losses to Michigan and Michigan
State, Maroney turned his game up, rushing for more than 130 yards in four
of the season's final five games, including a season-high 179-yard effort
against Illinois—a school which denied him a scholarship—164 versus

problem. Maroney and Barber enjoy playing together and, as far as
they're concerned, this is no numbers game.
"We just work off each other," said Barber. "Neither of us cares
how many carries the other gets; we're all about winning ballgames."
"We don't count carries and we don't count yards," agreed Maroney.
"You can have 1,000,2,000 yards, but if the team's not winning, nobody's
going to be looking at you. All Marion and I want are the victories. We can
contribute 50 yards a game and not get 1,000 yards next year, but as long
as we win every game, that's all that matters to us."

Could you feel it?

Last year definitely produced some tremors in the college
football world, and the epicenter was Cleveland, Ohio, home
base of the little old Mid-American Conference. Perhaps "little"
isn't the right word, since the MAC ballooned to 14 teams two years
ago, but the amount of recognition the league has gotten had been
relatively small despite having produced some powerful teams over
the years.
We all know how Marshall and Toledo have consistently
been programs to be reckoned with over the pastfew years. Bowling
Green has had its runs, and some folks can even remember
Miami University's three consecutive Tangerine Bowl wins
versus Florida, Georgia and South Carolina in the 1970s.

Every championship season features great taient, determinahon and Inspired coaching, it
also has Wat one game, that one close shave, which stands out as a thrilling near-miss.
Here ere three such getnes from three title winners.

1969: Texas IS, Arkansas 14
How big was this one? Well, President Nixon traveled to rainy
Fayetteville to watch top-ranked Texas take on No. 2 Arkansas.
When Arkansas’ quarterback Bill Montgomery hit Chuck Dicus
with a 29-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, Arkansas had
a 14-0 lead and looked comfortable. But back came Texas.
Quarterback James Street ripped off a 42-yard scoring run, and
Texas converted the two-point play to trim the gap to
14-8. With 7:58 to play, Texas faced a fourth-and-three from its
own 43. Instead of trying the run-Texas led the nation on the
ground with their vaunted wishbone--Street surprised Arkansas by
hitting tight end Randy Peschel with a razor-sharp 44-yard pass.
Two plays later, Jim Bertelsen scored on a two-yard run. Happy
Feller’s extra-point conversion made it 15-14, and Tom
Campbell’s late interception preserved the win. Less than a
month later, on New Year’s Day, Texas upended Notre Dame,
21-17, to finish a perfect 11 -0 and take the national title.

touchdown run with 4:20 to play. Washington then ran over
Missouri s Kenny Downing for the two-point conversion, giving
Oklahoma a 28-27 win. A week later, Oklahoma routed Nebraska,
35-10. On Jan. 1, the OU disposed of Michigan, 14-0, in their Bowl
Game to earn their second straight national crown.

1997: Michigan 28, Iowa 24
It had been a dream until this point. Dismissed by some as
mediocre and expected to struggle in the conference, much less
compete for national laurels, Michigan entertained Iowa with a
perfect 5-0 mark and hopes of greatness. By halftime, all of that
was in jeopardy. Iowa held a 21-7 lead and looked poised to cut
down Michigan. But Michigan wasn’t about to quit. Michigan tied
the game in the third quarter on a 10-yard scoring pass from
Brian Griese to Russell Shaw and a one-yard sneak by Griese. Iowa

1975: Oklahoma 28, Missouri 27
Oklahoma had won the national championship in 1974 and were
top-ranked heading into November the following year, before
stumbling against Kansas. But there was still time for Oklahoma
to revitalize and hope for a number-one ranking, if OU could
beat Missouri and Nebraska to finish the season. Everybody
expected the meeting with Nebraska to be a doozy, but the game
against Mizzou was as close as a blade can get to your face
Although Oklahoma bolted to a 20-0 lead, thanks to the use of an
unbalanced line formation that confounded the Missouri, Missouri
barreled back with four straight touchdowns. Although Mizzou
kicker Tim Gibbons missed the extra point following the fourth
score,, things still looked good for them, leading 27-20. Then

^tiORELCO

came the lightning. OU halfback Joe Washington took a pitch
from Steve Davis and cut through Missouri for a 71-yard

answered back with a Zach Bromert field goal that made it 24-21
and set up a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback. With time winding
down, Griese drove Michigan down the field and then
calmly hit tight end Jerame Tuman with a two-yard pass in the
end zone. When Sam Sword intercepted an Iowa aerial in
the final minute, Michigan had a wf)isker-close 28-24 win and a
still-perfect record. Nearly two mopths later, Michigan concluded
their magical season by gliding into the Bowl Game and whipping
Washington State to capture a national championship.
Season after season, championship teams face these rough
obstacles at least once. These three games are just an example of
how dramatic and satisfying a close shave can be.”

football," he says. "Being in the middle of Ohio, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, we have the opportunity to bring
in some good, strong talent from those states.
"Our conference has good football coaches, good
players, good talent, and we can play. More people are
just starting to recognize the level of talent we have."
In other words, yes the MAC is getting better, but it has
only been public perception that has been holding the
league back.

Sometimes the AAVP is easy to spot.

Green was another MAC signal-caller
to be drafted this year, going to the
Baltimore Ravens.

»

The next stud on whom to keep your
eyes peeled? Charlie Frye at Akron.
The dynamic Frye threw for 3,549 yards

and 22 touchdowns while spending a lot of
the season running for his life.
Frye, the type of guy who carries a team on his shoulders, nearly
declared for the NFL Draft after Zips head coach Lee Owens was let go
after the season, but he changed his mind after a talk with new head
coach J.D. Brookhart. He just wanted to know that we wanted him
here," says Brookhart.
Frye will have to adjust to what Brookhart calls a "completely
different system, but Brookhart believes the system will provide Frye
with more of what he needs to play at the next level.
If not, look for Bruce Gradkowski, who has the advantage of playing
for an experienced Toledo team, to challenge for best-in-the-league
honors. The accurate junior completed 70 percent of his pass attempts
in 2003.

Other teams' best shots," says Amstutz. "We have [our
opponents'] attention, so w,p^have to rely on what we do on
the field, not hope thatthe other team is not ready to play."
But success is breeding success around the league. The
culture of winning and being in the national spotlight is catching
on. Bowling Green made more national TV appearances last
year than many BCS teams.
"The teams that have elevated their programs are seeing
the fruits of their labor," says Brandon. "You can either build
or rebuild, and rebuilding is more expensive than building."
Joe Novak can sum up the effect that winning has had
at his school: "When I took the job eight years ago [at
NIU], they'd had seven winning seasons in 33 years. We sold
three games out last year. We'd never had a sellout in the
history of the school. I've been told that we have five home
games this year and probably four of them will sell out for
sure, and that's never happened before. There's just a
great feeling on campus and in this community, and it has
been fun to watch and be a part of." ■

Dear fans:

I am truly impressed with the 12 supporters below from our community who supported our players with
evening snacks throught grueling double sessions in August. Our “August Snacks Program” has just
taken off. In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after two practices, conditioning
and lifting. I can’t tell you how truly appreciative our players are of the generous donations from the
community. This is the fourth year the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players con­
tinually 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.

Sox Harrison Stadium serves as the home of the Fighting
Scots. Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors the memory of
B. Regis "Sox" Harrison, the head football and basketball
coach at Edinboro University for 34 years. Sox Harrison was
the key figure in the building of Edinboro's athletic program,
unselfishly devoting 34 years of service to the University as
an athletic director, coach and physical education instructor.

Dear Fans:

Since arriving in Edinboro in January 2000, I
have felt it is essential that we give to the commu­
nity and vice versa. It has been very gratifying to
the response of local organizations in assisting
Edinboro football. Three years ago the service
organizations proved invaluable working at the
Bills - Browns scrimmage, and for the last two
years have run our 50/50 raffles. Thier assistance
was greatly appreciated. Myself and my coaching
staff looks forward to working with these organiza­
tions once again this year, and thank them for
their support of Edinboro Football.

in 1941 and '42. In addition, he coached the men's basketball
team for 23 seasons, from 1928-53, winning 175 games.
Sox Harrison Stadium seats 6,000 people in its two
grandstands, along with plenty of standing room. In addi­
tion to press boxes on both sides of the stadium, the facility
has locker rooms, a training room and complete amenities for
fans.
The stadium has undergone several renovations, includ­
ing a new sound system and improved handicapped access
areas in 1999. In 1997, a new grandstand was constructed on
the visitor's side of the field, adding 2,500 permanent seats,
along with a press box, locker rooms and a training room.

Annual Athletic Fund Drive.
This past year was one to remember.
Edinboro University brought home
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
titles in football, women's cross country and
wrestling. Four coaches were named PSAC
Coach of the Year in their respective sports.
Finally, football, men's and women's cross
country, wrestling, volleyball, and track and
field competed in the NCAA National
Championships.
We were just as successful on the aca­
demic front, where one-third of our stu­
dent-athletes were honored at our annual
Scholar-Athlete Banquet for maintaining a
cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or
better. Courtney Thompson was the recipi­
ent of an NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship.
Courtney finished with a perfect 4.00 GPA
while starting for three-and-a-half seasons
on the women's basketball team.
That's what we're all about at Edinboro
~ building winners on the playing fields
and in the classroom. We're begiiming to
see the fruits of our labor in terms of
fundraising, as improvements to the
wrestling locker room are near completion,
and the women's volleyball locker room
project has a 2005 completion date. We also
anticipate the new McComb Fieldhouse
weight room work to get under way next
year.
These projects are all part of the
University's Capital Campaign. Another
area where your donations make an imme­
diate difference are endowed scholarships.
Last year, more than 80 endowed scholar­
ships were awarded.
We recently
announced the latest endowed scholarship
“ The Hall of Fame Scholarship. Matt
Phillips, a PSAC All-Star in football, is the
initial recipient of the newly-created schol­
arship; one which will rotte among sports.
Your support has been greatly appreci­
ated throughout the years. As we begin our
seventh annual athletic fund drive, we hope
you'll again consider a generous contribu­
tion. And just as important is letting others
know what we're accomplishing and what
we hope to accomplish in the future.

Officials Signals
His Hay Never Ends

by Boh Shrcve, Sports Information Director
For Gary Hanna, it has to seem as if the
day never ends. But it's that way for count­
less other athletic trainers across the country.
Their job is simple ~ keep the players healthy
so that teams can send out the best players
and have the optimal chance to win week in
and week out.
Soimds easy enough. Hanna began doing
this type of thing way back in 1981 when he
took over as the head athletic trainer at John
Carroll University. After six years at John
Carroll, he left there to work in the physical
tlierap)’ department at St. Joseph's Riverside Hopsital in Warren, Ohio.
A tliree-and-a-half year stint there brought Hanna to Edinboro.
"Decemlx'r 17,1990", recalls Hanna, "That's when I started here". He's
been at Edinboro ever since, and today oversees the health needs of over
300 student-athletes competing on Edinboro's 16 varsity sports.
In this day and age few jobs are of the 9-to-5 variety, and that's cer­
tainly the case with athletic training. Many times you can find Hanna
here before 6:30 a.m. on a winter morning, despite the drive he has to
make from Greenville, PA where he resides with his wife, Marsha, and
tlieir six children, to make early morning wrestling workouts. Other
da\'S it requires a late night, or driving the van and trailer with his staff
back from a long trip to East Stroudsburg or Kutztown and not arriving
until late in the evening.
Yet Hanna is still energized by the job. "This is a very dynamic
profession," Hanna explained. "There's something new every day. It's
a chance to stay involved in athletics, and you get to enjoy your success­
es. We get to see them perform when they've been hurt, rehabbed and
come back healthy. And our coaches are outstanding here. It's been a
real pleasure."
Athletics is definitely in Hanna's blood. He wrestled as an under­
graduate at Indiana(Pa.), where he would get his start in the field work­
ing as a student in the training room. Even now if you watch Hanna at
an Edinboro wrestling match, it's hard to tell who's doing more coach­
ing, Hanna or coaches Tim Hynn and Lou Rosselli. There's no question
that wrestling is still in his system.
Whether it was by design or pure dumb luck, Hanna is assigned
possibly the two most difficult sports from a training aspect at Edinboro
— football and wrestling. Both involve plenty of bumps and bruises,
and more than their fare share of blood, along with the possibility of
major injuries. And the time demands can be excrutiating.
"I wrestled for 13 years and I also coached it, so I kind of gravitat­
ed to wrestling when I started here," Hanna commented. "I really enjoy
it. The football just happened. There's such a volume there. But you
can't ignore everyone else."
That being said, Edinboro also employs another full time certified
athletic trainer ~ Becky Sidener ~ along wi^ several graduate assistants
and student trainers. While one would never hear Hanna complain,
staffing is always an issue given the volume.
When asked the most difficult aspect of the job, its' easy for Hanna
— time management. "Without a doubt it's time management. The time
away from the family. It's a very demanding profession in terms of
time, plus making sure not to neglect the athletes."
The demands of athletic trainers are many. First and foremost, it's
with the weU-being of the student-athlete in mind. It begins with every­
thing possible to prevent injuries, and when an injury occurs, seeing the
student-athlete through the proper rehab to return to the playing field
healthy in as short a period as possible. Most coaches would like to see
that time period even shorter, but it hasn't been an issue for Hanna.
"I've never had a problem with a coach," he asserted. "I've had
issues other places. The bottom line is the student's welfare. We want to
get them back so we can succeed. I've had more issues with players and

Bdinboro University Football 2004.

with parents."
h the truth be known, Hanna is probably the coaches' best friend
when it comes to getting athletes back on the field quickly. Maybe it's
the coach in him, or the fact that he has been doing this long enough that
he knows what the body can endure, or that with the volume coming
through the training room on a daily basis that he doesn't allow the ath­
letes to spend idle time there, but Hanna isn't one to baby the athletes.
And yet he admits that in a sense, the trainer becomes a mother to
the athletes at times. "We are the gateway between the athletes and the
medical profession," he stressed. "It works both ways. We're here for
prevention, strengthening, stretching, and when necessary, first aid. We
provide the transition between the athletes and medical personnel, plus
the coaches and the athletes. In a sense we're their mothers, moreso in
college than high school."
Hanna sees a bright future for students interested in the athletic
training field, or a similar area. "This profession is growing and
expanding. You're seeing patient care in industrial settings, police acad­
emies, military academies. Many of these places are now Wring some­
one in patient care. Unfortunately, we don't have athletic trainers into
all the high schools. With all of the NCAA legislation, there's now a
greater demand than ever in colleges. But a lot of kids are getting out of
this field because of the time demands."
For Hanna, the pride in seeing athletes succeed far exceeds the time
demands. He takes great pleasure in watching Josh Koscheck take the
stand in 2003 at the NCAA Division I National Championships follow­
ing a third place finish despite several injuries; in seeing Jason Oman
return to the football field after a series of ankle surgeries.
"The most rewarding thing for me is standing back and watching
kids get on the stand and getting to play," he noted. "I like to be as
anonymous and invisible as possible."
