The 2005 season has definitely been a good one, but Edmboro hopes there are still several more weeks of action remaining. The Fighting Scots can achieve one of their goals next week at Lock Haven. A win over the Bald Eagles would give Edinboro no worse than a tie for the PSAC West champi­ onship. It would be the third straight crown for the Fighting Scots. But first things first. Today Edinboro hosts a Kutztown team which is 1-7 overall, but a look at the scores says it's a better team than that. Consider that just three weeks ago the Golden Bears lost to Bloomsburg by a 12-0 score. They were also a Kvitztown C1-7) 31-28 loser to Southern Connecticut State, a Ali^. 27 SHIPPENSBURG L, 3-10 team rated eighth in at Clarion Sept 3 L, 23-29 4ot the Northeast Region.

He promised a tough and classy program, and in four short years delivered a cham­ pionship 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" five years, culminated by consecutive PSAC championships for the first time in Edinboro history, the best two-year record in Edinboro history. and the only PSAC "We had an outstanding pool of team chosen for the candidates to choose from, button's NCAA Division II integrity, coaching background and playoffs each of the national notoriety stood out above past two seasons. Each phase of the rest. We feel Edinboro provides Edinboro football the opportunity to be one of the top has made a dramatic programs in the PSAC, and look at turn upward. The Lou Tepper as the coach to restore offense has averaged over 30 points and our program to that level" nearly 400 yards each the past two Dr. Frank Pogue Jr. seasons, with President, Edinboro University tremendous balance between rushing and passing. The defense led the nation with 42 turnovers and 30 inter­ ceptions while playing stingy run defense in 2004. Truth be known. Topper's real passion is for special teams, despite his national reputa­ tion on defense. Edinboro has not had a kick blocked the last two years, while blocking four kicks a year ago, with two blocked punts returned for touchdowns. While winning is important, it isn't the only emphasis at Edinboro with Tepper at the controls. The participation numbers have significantly increased and academic performances have soared. He has demanded recruiting equally a combination of character and talent. The Edinboro staff stresses a family concept and racial harmony. The improvement academically has been so drastic that out of 80 players on the team following spring practice, just three were faced with academ­ ic probation. The 2000 season brought a 5-6 record, rnatching the Edinboro record for wins by a first-year head coach, and a fifth place PSAC fin­ ish. In 2001 and 2002, the Fighting Scots were very competitive, setting the stage for back-to-back championship seasons. Edinboro made its first postseason appearance in 2003, claiming a share of the PSAC West championship. The Fighting Scots survived a brutal three-game stretch early in the season, defeating 16th-ranked East Stroudsburg, 30-21, dropping a 40-34 decision to 22nd-ranked Shippensburg, and upsetting fourth-ranked Indiana(Pa.) on the Indians' home turf, 28-20. The Scots ended the regular season with a six-game winning streak. During that stretch Edinboro held opponents without a touchdown for 20 consecutive quarters. Tepper was recog­ nized as the PSAC West Coach of the Year in 2004, as Edinboro finished with a 9-3 record and an 18th place ranking in the AFCA poU. The Fighting Scots once again finished 9-3 and tied for the PSAC West crown a year ago, while duplicating the 2003 AFCA ranking of 18th. Edinboro picked up its second-ever NCAA postseason win with a 47-44 win at 20th-ranked Bentley. Edinboro University Football 2005 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 standouts include Bruce Smith, John Holecek, Simeon Rice, Kevin Hardy, Brad Hopkins, Booger MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current or former 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 a head coach in this environment," Tepper related following his first season at Edinboro. "I've recruited western Pennsylvania for half of my career. It's a joy to be back home." Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coordi­ nator at Louisiana State University in 1999. He began his tenure with the Tigers on December 15,1997, helping LSU to a 27-9 Independence Bowl win over Notre Dame. AH told, he has served as a defensive coor­ dinator for 19 years in his coaching profession. BIG TEN HEAD COACH Lou 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 Illini 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 vic­ tory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consecutive wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive, Tepper graduated a very high percentage of his Big Ten seniors. Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the defen­ sive 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 Head Coach lx>u Tepper 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, suf­ fering 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 includ­ ed a 24-21 win m Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to postseason play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewashing in the Liberty Bowl. The '94 squad finished 7-5, again upsetting 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. UNEBACKERS 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 dur­ ing 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 Brownlow (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. DIVISION I ASSISTANT COACH In over thirty years as an assistant coach, Tepper has worked at some of the top institutions in the country. That includes the likes of Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech and Colorado, in addition to his time at Illinois and LSU. Tepper began his coaching career as a gradu­ ate assistant at Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to the University of New Hampshire from 1968-71, coaching the running backs and linebackers before becoming the defensive coordinator. His next stop was the College of William & Mary, where he joined former New Hampshire head coach Jim Root as the defensive coordinator from 1972-77. The 1976 William & Mary squad posted the school's best record in thirty years. He was the assistant head coach his final year at William &c Mary. In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill Dooley hired Tepper as his linebackers coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into a consistent bowl contender with a defense that annually ranked among the nation's top ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech from 197882, working with Outland Trophy winner and Buffalo Bills great Bruce Smith, among others. The 1980 Hokie edition played Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl. Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at Colorado in 1983, serving as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach until departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped turn around a defense which ranked No. 100 nationally in yards allowed prior to his arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division I in total defense. He earned the title of assistant head coach his final two seasons, and helped the Buffaloes to the 1985 Freedom Bowl and the 1986 Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assistant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

'With the late ending to Monday’s practice, there is not much time to get school work done, so Jones may shine his shoes, clean his room for an upcoming inspection or prepare his uniform for the next day before turning in. mmwm In the team’s only two hall-pad practices of the week, the intensity picks up dramatically as the bulk of the week’s game plan is installed. Knowing that Ross expects productivity during Army’s grueling mid-week practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jones tries to enter with the right mindset. I may go [to KimseyJ a bit early on i’uesday and maybe watch a little more film. It might not be film on the opponent, but film on our scout team defense from Monday’s practice. On Wednesday it is usually the same routine. I try to get [to the locker room] early and watch film. I’he film all depends on I’uesday’s practice,” the Henderson, N.C., native explains. “If we had a bad prac­ tice on Tuesday 111 watch Tuesday’s film to see where I might have been messing up or sloppy If Tuesday was a good practice, then Wednesday I might watch the other team’s film to see how they are playing. ” For Jones, film study usually reveals the tendencies of the tipposing defenders. While his running style relies on instinct and vision, Jones studies his opponent so that he can “trust ” what he sees on the field. PRACTICE WEEK Off day. (7 P.M.): Air pads, shorts and helmets... “We usually walk through our mistakes from last week, and talk about keys to upcoming week. The staff has watched film and they let us know what they think the other team’s weaknesses are.” TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY (4 P.M.): Full pads... “We go all out. We want to practice at game speed.” THURSDAY: Air pads, shorts and helmets... “By Thursday, you want everybody knowing what they are doing without thinking, without second-guessing themselves.” FRIDAY: Walk-through at Michie Stadium for home games, at opponent’s stadium for road contests. Saturday: Game Day. SUNDAY: MONDAY -MA When we are watching film, we are .seeing whether the weakside linebacker likes to undercut the lineman or go around him, whether they pursue hard or if they like to take the angle,’’Jones explains. “It’s good to see that when we start flowing a certain way we know how they will react. Depending on how they play f know if the cutback is there or if I need to stay [to the outside].” mm§> -- In the week’s final full-speed practice, a non-paddetl workout, Ross tries to bring the game plan into focus. Thursday is called “downfield T hursday” by Ross and his staff. If Army head coach Bobby Ross likes to give his players 48 hours off between the games and the next workout, and Jones and the rest of the Black Knights utilize that extra time to their advantage. the team is conducting a play at the 45-yard line “going in,” the players won’t finish the play until they are in the end zone. “It’s assignment day no jumping offsides, no holding. You want to get rid of penalties and mental mistakes, and get your self-confidence going fcir the weekend. ” mmti For a home game, the Black Knights will conduct a walk­ through at Michie Stadium before heading to the team hotel in Mahwah, N.J., for the night. On road games, the team’s charter plane will depart .Stewart International Airport Friday morning in order to get Army to its destination by early afternoon. Immediately upon deplaning, the Black Knights head to the opponent’s stadium for a brief walk-through and a stadium acclimation period. With kickoff for Saturday’s game rapidly approaching, Jones finds it difficult to concentrate in chess on Friday. Nearing the end of a taxing week that features the expected heavy emphasis on football, coupled with the Academy’s grueling academic and military regimen, fones eagerly awaits the moment when he can think solely about football. f | ^ ^ SERVICE TIME continued Mr f '4 C^UBA - % on Saturday, Jones embarks upon his game day routine. An early wake up call, usually around 8 a.m., followed by a good breakfast and a few' meetings, jump starts Jones on Saturday'. By the time the team bus departs for the stadium, Jones is already “in the giime.” “The bus is usually cjuiet, guys are focused. On the bus, I imagine myself making runs and cuts. I’m actually play ing the game in my head, and going through differ­ ent simations that can happen. I don’t fall asleep on the bus because then I get sluggish. ‘At the stadium, everyone has his ow n routine. Some of us running backs walk around the field, going from one end zone to the other, playing catch, just to get our hands right,” Jones says. “Then I’ll come into the locker room and get my ankles taped. I get my pads right. Usually I stop by the mirror to make sure every­ thing fits how 1 want it so Tm comfortable.” Through a haze of smoke, with bagpipes blaring and the Army faithful cheering, Jones sprints onto the Michie Stadium turf knowing he is ready to play. He has watched film, worked hard on the practice field and synchronized his mind and body. For six days, he has w'alked the tightrope betw een being a West Point cadet and an Anny football player. On Saturday, he is a football player first. On Sunday, he’ll return to his dual roles, but now the spotlight is aglow and it is time to perform. ■ Mike Albright is the associate director for media relations at the United State Military Academy. Following a full week of preparation, Jones is more than ready to hit the groun running as soon as he wakes up on Saturday mornings.

"For away games, I’ll go througli it on the plane."

FOR EVERYTHING YOU VALUE I TOUCHDOUJM ILLUSTRRTED I tricks of the trrde BYJON COOPER RAM-BOOZLED The Falcons’ 138 Halfback Pass led to pay dirt for Fisher DeBerry and Air Force, leaving the confused Colorado State Rams’ defense in the dust Fisher DeBerry is not one to use trick plays often, but since the Falcons mainly run the football and execute the option, die halfback pass has been most effective at times. ir Force Academy head coach Fisher DeBerry knows the right time to roll the dice and call a trick play Call it experience gained in 44 years of coaching football—the past 22 seasons being on the sidelines in Colorado Springs. The 67-year-old DeBerry is the winningest coach in Air Force history (161-94-1 heading into 2005) and the third longest tenured at one school (behind Penn State’s Joe Patemo and Florida State’s Bobby Bowden). As such, he’s probably forgotten more football than some coaches will ever know. But one thing he never forgets is when and how to A pounce on an opening an opponent gives him. Stressing the ground attack has been the key to making the Falcons’ offense go, and while he prefers to play it straight, DeBerry admits his team’s commitment to running creates opportu­ nities to use some ra2zle-dazzle. “I’m not a big trick guy, but the halfback pass has been a part of our offense for a long, long time,” said DeBerry, Air Force’s head coach since 1984. “Because we rush the football and because we run the option, and we pitch the ball to our halfbacks and we commit so fast to the run game, often we’re able to get our halfback to throw the ball, and we’ve had some big plays doing that.” One of the biggest came on October 16, 2003, in a game at Fort Collins, home of Mountain West Conference rival Colorado State. With about six minutes left in the second quarter, and his team trailing 10-7, DeBerry called for the 138 Halfback Pass, and his offensive unit ran the play to perfection. Spht back Joe Schieffer began the play by coming around from the left side and taking a handoff from quarterback Chance Harridge. As Schieffer headed around the right comer on what looked like a typical sweep, he suddenly stopped and fired downfield to wide-open receiver Alec Messerall, who caught the pass and waltzed into the end zone. The play covered 69 yards and gave the Falcons a 14-10 lead, although Colorado State would eventually come back to win the game. “We’ve had a lot of success, probably had 80 percent success,” said DeBerry of the 138 Halfback Pass. ’While the element of surprise is a contributor to the play’s success, DeBerry believes the defense’s aggression can be its own worst enemy “Teams get so involved in stopping the run that they over pursue, overreact to the play-action of the mn,” DeBerry said. “Their own pursuit triggers your thought to use it, too.” In the end, DeBerry relies on his instincts to make that rail ‘You just get a feel on the sidelines that the defense is reacting in the way that you would like to see this play set up,” he said. With 44 years of getting that feel, it’s no wonder the play is such a success. ■ Jon Cooper is a freelance sportswriter living in Atlanta and a regular contributor to Touchdown Illustrated.

On the snap, he starts left then reverses his field, taking the handoff and heading toward the corner as if on a sweep.

'S HAS A CHANCE TO GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST THE SEMINOLES HAVE EVER HAD COURTESY FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY /J F FLORIDA STATE linebacker Ernie Sims ever decided to take a different career path, there’s no doubt it should be with the highway patrol. His biggest physical asset is speed and pursuit is undoubtedly Sims’ strength. After seeing him track down ball carriers with a relentless sideline-tosideline style, offenses might want to push for Sims to get a flashing red light—complete with siren—put on the top of his helmet so they’ll know what’s coming up behind them, and in some cases, right at them. From Marvin Jones to Derrick Brooks to now Ernie Sims, the middie of the field has always been protected well by Florida State’s dominate linebackers. I TOUCHOOIUM ZLUUSTRRTEO I % ■Si .V: PATROLLING THE GRIDIRON continued out punishment is always better than trying to absorb it. And therein lies the part of football Sims loves the most, and he makes that painfully clear to opponents. “I love the contact,” he said. “The idea of me being given the chance [to hit people] without committing a crime is great. I was always a tough kid, but the contact [in football] grew on me.” The way Sims combines speed and toughness puts him at the top of the class when it comes to college linebackers. Equally adept at getting to the quarterback, stuffing the run and dropping back into COURTESY FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY pass coverage, no play is too far out of his reach. But if Sims had to pick a defining moment from his Florida State career, it would be a sack of Virginia quarterback Marcus Hagan during the Seminoles’ 36-3 home win in October, 2004. In that same Head coach Bobby Bowden has coached some excellent linebackers in all his years on the sidelines, but the ones as special as Ernie Sims don’t come around ail that often. “Nine times out of 10 [offenses are] running away from me, but I do get a chance to get around on the weakside,” Sims said, displaying the type of closing ability that would make any state trooper proud. The former prep star has made a seamless transition to full-time linebacker after dominating the Florida high school ranks as a dual threat in the backfield. Sims’ reason for sticking with defense is a simple, yet understandable one, even for non-football fens. As a runmng back, you have 11 guys trying to take your head off,” he said. ‘As a linebacker, you have 10 guys helping you take someone’s head off” Besides having some help—which Sims doesn t necessarily need, considering he racked up 88 tackles as a sophomore—^most would agree with Sims’s assessment. Dishing - . .v-'<-f!Tasaw HURRICANE SEASON ^ I MIAMI FRESHMAN WILLIE WILLIAMS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE SUNSHINE STATE’S NEXT MENACING LINEBACKER Ftorida State’s Ernie Sims has no trouble with the law, because he lays it down. Willie Williams, the gem of the Hurricanes 2004 recruiting class, has had some struggles avoiding it. Coupled with injuries—a tom ACL and a broken finger marred his initial campaign—friere’s been far more pine time than shine time for the former prep star Though he hadn't had an opportunity to make major impact before this season, Williams still lids the potential to be the next in a long line of ■great Miami linebackers. He was the complete package in high school, and a smooth on-field transition to the college game has helped aank the hype machine up in Coral Gables. K ~ss game, Sims also displayed his versatility by blocking a punt in the end zone for a safety. “That [sack] put my face on national television and showed I can be a big-time football player,” he said. Opposing pass catchers shouldn’t feel comfortable roaming the field, however, even if Sims’ signature play was on a quarteitiack blitz. He still racked up five pass break-ups during his sophomore year and loves to play the role of gardener in the open field by planting anyohe coming across the middle. “[Playing the pass] gives me a chance to hit wide receivers regardless,” he said. At 6-0,220 pounds, Sims may not be the biggest linebacker on the landscape, but you can’t block what you can’t catch. And for all the discussions on the pedigree of the Manning family (Archie, Eli and Peyton), they have nothing on the Sims’. Ernie’s fether, Ernie Jr., a former Seminoles football player himseft once ran a 9.97 in the 100-yard dash, while his mother, Alice Bennett, was an athletic star in her own right. She took major strides with the Florida State track team, running one leg of a relay that beat a UCLA team anchored by Olympians Florence Giifath-Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Talk about a deep gene pool. “I may not be the biggest or the strongest, but my speed stands out,” Sims said. “That’s what programs look for.

[My strength] is getting to the ball and hustling.” Despite the accolades and freakish physical gifts, opponents will rarely hear a peep from Sims. More of the quiet type, both on and off the field, the well-spoken, well-mannered junior leads by example. And who can argue with that approach, after seeing the way his body flies around on Saturdays? “Me being humble, that’s what’s been engraved in me,” he said, despite the feet he has every reason to be the loudmouth, star athlete. “Don’t get a big head.” Each passing season has been a learning process, and it’s clear Sims has taken good notes.

I always have a lot of high goals and high standards.

Bobby Petrino: It’s something we thought we could do. We felt good about the players we had m the system and we felt really good about the ability to recmit young men here. It might have happened a little bit quicker than we thought.

I DH: Seeing it all come together. Seeing all the hard work the players and staff put in come to fruition. There s certainly a tremendous amount of poetry and synchronicity that goes on. That’s one of the great joys about football, because it’s such a great strate­ gist’s game. Being able to see all those things come to fruition and seeing your players rejoice in the moment and have some success shows that all the hard work is really rewarding. BP: When the kickoff occurs and you can just focus on the game. Just being out there and calling the game is fun. It s not a lot of fun leading up to it. The clock does not tick.

Our “August Snacks Program” has been a huge success. In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after practices, conditioning and lifting. I can’t tell you how truly appreciative our players are of these generous dona­ tions. This is the fifth consecutive year that the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players have asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. In nearly 30 years of coaching at the Division I level, I never had players respond with such gratitude. Please support these Edinboro businesses! THANK YOU.

How do you come back a year later and say that we exceeded last year's results. Just as a year ago, Edinboro University brought home three Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championships. The Fighting Scots repeated as champions in football and women's cross country, and over the winter brought home the men's bas­ ketball crown. The women's cross country proved that you can peak at the right time, finishing second at the NCAA Division II National Championships as four runners earned All-American honors. The moi's cross country team, meanwhile, also earned a top ten fiiiish, placing seventh. In addi­ tion to those two teams, footb^, men's basket­ ball, wrestling, swimming and track & field either competed as a team or had individuals qualify for NCAA Championships. It was indeed the year of the individual, as no fewer than 15 individuals earned AllAmerican status. Shawn Bimch made a nm at becoming Edinboro's third NCAA Division wrestling champion before settling for second place at 133 lbs. In men's basketball, Jakim Donaldson was a consensus first team AllAmerican. And keep an eye out for Brooke Heath, a freshman swimmer who earned a pair of All-American certificates at Nationals. Ryan Coon doubled as a cross coimtry and track AllAmerican. I have to teU you it would be a disappoint­ ing year if those successes weren't duplicated in the classroom. Fortunately, that was not the case. A total of 116 student-athletes were recognized at our annual Scholar-Athlete Banquet. These indi­ viduals were honored for maintaining a cumula­ tive ^ade point average of 3.00 or better. Sixty Fighting Scots were accorded PSAC ScholarAtiilete status, with a 3.25 GPA or higher. That's what we're aU about at Edinboro building winners, on the playing fields and in the classroom. We're beginning to see the fruits of our labor in terms of fundraising, as improve­ ments to the wrestling locker room were com­ pleted last fall. A new track is being installed at Sox Harrison Stadium, and improvements are being made in the grandstand. Next up - more locker room improvements, and a new and improved weight room. These projects are all part of the Universit5^s Capital Campaign. Another area where your donations make an immediate difference are endowed scholarships. Last year more than 80 endowed scholarships were awarded. This is a number that continues to grow, and makes a very tangible difference.

Each year seems to get more difficult, in part because of the class they've exhibited, and in part because of their role in rebuilding Edinboro's winning tradition. Today, we say goodbye to 15 seniors making their final regular season home appearance at Sox Harrison Stadium. Unfortunately, space does not permit us to do justice to their accomplishments. We did want to take a moment to present them to you one last time, as they answered two questions for us. Good luck seniors, and we wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

When we puUed into the hotel there was at least six inches of snow that had faUen. Boy-o-boy, those beds were comfortable. I, myself, wasn't afraid of the ffying we did, or the snow, and especiaUy not Bentley. I was afraid of getting pink eye from those tight-knit, extremely close offensive guys. The game was a shootout.
