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 appre­ ciated. Myself and my coaching staff looks forward to working with these organizations once again this year, and thank them for their support of Edinboro Football. since^ Coach Netivorh Office Appliance Printers Digitel Duplicators % Printing & Document Solutions Parts & Supplies KD(B0[](]* teuge Communication Where Documents Are Going lions Kiwanis Circle K unwseiconmitas itnn JAMES B.

Tepper inherited an Edinboro prograrn which had won just eleven games in the previous three sea­ sons. The Scots have shown con­ sistent improvement in “Coach Tep’s” three years. The 2000 sea­ son brought a 5-6 record, matching the Edinboro record for wins by a first-year head coach, and a fifth place PSAC finish. Three of the losses, however, were lopsided. In 2001, Edinboro finished with a deceiving 4-6 record. The Fighting Scots were competitive in every contest and finished third in the PSAC. The victories included a stunning 14-7 upset over 17thranked Slippery Rock. 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 ''We had an outstanding pool of defensive candidates to choose fronts but coaching genius, with a Lou's integrity, coaching back­ resume that ground and national notoriety stood includes three out above the rest. We feel Butkus Award honorees and Edinboro provides the opportunity an Outland to be one of the top programs in the Trophy winner.

Smith, John Holecek, Dr. Frank Pogue Jr. Simeon Rice, Kevin Hardy, President, Edinboro University Brad Hopkins, Booger MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current NFL standouts. In addi­ tion, 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. 'Tve recruit­ ed western Pennsylvania for half of my career. It’s a joy to be back home." Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coor­ dinator 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. All told, he has served as a defensive coordinator for 19 of his 36 years in the coaching profession. Big Ten Head Coach The 57-year-old Tepper was appointed the head coach at the University of Illinois on December 13, 1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced Mackovic, who left for the head coaching position at the University of Texas. During his five year stint as the Fighting mini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2, including two more bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of wins over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first vic­ tory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consec­ utive wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive, Tepper graduated 91 percent of his seniors. Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the defensive coordinator for four seasons and assistant head coach for two years. In his nine seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to six bowl invitations, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings in the AP and UPI polls. h g c He was honored as the Big Ten's top defensive assistant coach m 1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annually ranked among the best in the country, finishing 10th iii 1989 14th m 1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995. Tepper’s 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suffering a 27-17 defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl. Illinois went in to Columbus and upset Ohio State, 18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie against Michigan in Ann Arbor. While his ‘93 edition finished 5-6, that included a 24-21 win m Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to postseason play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewash­ ing m the Liberty Bowl. The ‘94 squad finished 7-5, again upset­ ting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once again it was on the road, as Illinois shocked Ohio State, 24-10, in Columbus behind Butkus Award winner Dana Howard. Linebackers While Penn State has gained the reputation as "Linebacker U", Illinois could make a good case for that des­ ignation as well during Tepper's tenure. He produced consecu­ tive Butkus Award winners in Dana Howard (1994) and Kevin Hardy (1995). Along the way, he also produced 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 AllBig Ten linebackers at his dis­ posal. In all, he has coached over 25 professional lineback­ ers, and recently wrote the book, "Complete Linebacking", a 312-page comprehensive book on linebacker play. Hardy and Rice became the highest defensive draft duo |n the history of the NFL draft in 1996 when Hardy went sec­ ond to Jacksonville and Rice third to Arizona. That stood until the 2000 NFL Draft when Penn State’s Courtney Brown and Lavar Arrington went onetwo.

He stayed at Virginia Tech from 1978-82, working with Outland Trophy winner and Buffalo Bills great Bruce Smith, among others. The 1980 Hokie edition played Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl. Colorado 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 Buffalo 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 to McCartney his final two seasons, and helped the Buffaloes to the 1985 Freedom Bowl and the 1986 Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assis­ tant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense. Personal Background Tepper, bom September 7, 1945, graduated from Rutgers University in 1967. He enjoyed a standout career as a defensive back at Rutgers from 1965-67. As a player, Tepper led the Scarlet Knights in interceptions as a junior and tackles as a senior. He won the George Cronin Trophy as the Most Improved Player in 1965.

Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis “Sox” Harrison, the head foot­ ball 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. Appropriately, he was the first member inducted into the Edinboro Athletic Hall of Fame in 1982. Harrison coached the Fighting Scot football team from its inception in 1926 to 1938, then returned to guide the gridders in 1941 and ‘42. In addition, he guided 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 addition to press boxes on both sides of the stadium, the facility has locker rooms, a training room and com­ plete amenities for fans. The stadium has undergone several renovations, including a new sound system and improved handi­ capped access areas in 1999. In 1997, a new grand­ stand 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. In addition to the football field, the facility contains complete track facilities. EDINBORO HCHmii SCOTS Na. Nama 42 Chris Arnica Pas. Ht. Wt. Yr. BT 6-6 238 Fr.

Well, watch out for Pittsburgh sophomore Larry Fitzgerald, who showed skills as a freshman that seniors shouldn’t even be doing. Getting Fitzgerald the ball is multi-talented quarterback Rod Rutherford, who found some success against the quick defense of the Hurricanes last season and will be full of confidence this go around on the Panthers’ home turf.

Raymond's Delaware squad took the first Fame was the culmination of a great to Delaware, defeating the Blue Hens, career for Kidd (Eastern Kentucky head coach from 1964-2002) and 24-7. The next time the two foes met was Raymond (Delaware head coach from in the first round of the Division 1-AA 1966-2001). And for them, there was simply no other career choice to consider. In 1977, Eastern Kentucky played host playoffs in 1981, with host Eastern Kentucky winning, 35-28. However, the final meeting was arguably the most memorable.

Then Dave Nelson, an old Michigan guy, brought me to Delaware, and I never got out of there." i ^ *^-’‘**® * ^ One of the common threads that ran between both coaclies was that they claimed to face relatively little stress throughout their careers. "I never thought of getting fired; it never entered my mind," said Kidd, for whom the football stadium at Eastern Kentucky is named. "I only signed one-year contracts and I had a special pride in our school. I wanted our kids to be good citizens." Throughout his career, Kidd's "good citizens" also proved to be pretty dominant on the gridiron, winning 315 games, ranking Kidd second only to former Grambling coach Eddie Robinson on the all-time NCAA Division 1-AA wins list On Kidd's watch. Eastern Kentucky won national championships in 1979 and '82, and 41 players went on to play in the NFL During his career, Raymond developed future NFL guarterbacks Jeff Komlo (Detroit Lions), Scott Brunner (New York Giants), and Rich Gannon (currently with the Oakland Raiders).

I any magic panacea that could fix a team's ills and build instant success. But, both coaches were staunch believers in sound fundamentals and good discipline. "We had a good disciplined program, and all our kids went to class," said Kidd. "I had a player who took me outto dinner with his wife and said, 'I didn't even like you until I was 30.'" Raymond pointed outthat despite trends in coaching, he always remained true to his basic tenets. "Something I feel very strongly about is that I never went anywhere else to find anything [in terms of strategies or formations]," he said. "I think more games are lost by doing something that you can't do." Coaching will always remain in the blood of these two greats, and Raymond summed up their feelings on their profession. "Coaching's just always been a lot of fun," he said. "Ifs not just my vocation, it's my avocation. I should have paid to be there." ■ Jeff Cummins is a freelance writer in New Jersey.

W "Ohio State-Michigan is the game," says Earle Bruce, head coach at OSD from 1979-87. "Like Coach [Woody] Hayes used to say: if you won. you would walk the high and broad and the main streets. And if you lost, you would walk the back alleys for a year. That's the importance of that game. If you win, you consider it a successful season. You can be 9-0, 10-0 and lose against Michigan and you're nothing. You didn't do the job." "You can't put into words what that game means," says Don Dufek, an All-America defensive back for Michigan in 1975. "For one week, everything and everyone in Ann Arbor and Columbus comes to a stand still. But the game is talked about all year long."

The schools wouldn’t meet again until 1900 when they played to a scoreless tie. Since then, it’s become the backyard brawl to end backyard brawls. There have been many, many memorable games.

THE PUYERS There is no secret ingredient for winning the Michigan-Ohio State game. Alt it comes down to is talent. "You win if you’re great players play great and you lose If your great players don’t play great,” says Earle Bruce, who was 81-26-1 while at the Buckeyes helm. The players who have participated in the fabled series are a who’s who of college football. Ohio State has produced five Heisman Trophy winners: Les Horvath (1944), Vic Janowicz (1950), Howard Hopalong Cassady (1955), Archie Griffin (1974-75) and Eddie George (1995). Michigan’s Heisman winners are Tom Harmon (1940), Desmond Howard (1991) ari(d Charies Woodson (1997). other notable Michigan players include former President Gerald Ford, who anchored Michigan’s offensive line for the 1932 and ’33 national cham­ pionship teams, and three-time All-American’s Bennie Oosterban (1925-27), Rick Leach (1975-78) and Anthony Carter (1980-82). College Football Hall of Fame center Gomer Jones (1934-35), guard Jim Parker (1954-56), quarterback Rex Kern (1968-70), tackle John Hicks (1970-73) and wide receiver Cris Carter (1984-86) are just a few of the legendary Buckeyes. So many great players have come and gone— Heisman Trophy winners, All-Americans and Academic All-Americans,” says Mike Tomczak, the former Ohio State quarterback who led the Buckeyes to a 1984 Fiesta Bowl victory. —KN When defending national champion Ohio State travels to Ann Arbor on IMov. 22 to play Michigan, it will mark the 100th to like Michigan for some reason. But as a player, I think you always respected Michigan because you knewsomeoftheguys game between the storied Midwest schools. The Wolverines hold a 56-37-6 advantage. There are a number of factors that make the contestthe hottestticketin November. None more apparentthan geography. "The biggest reason the game has so much meaning is we are neighboring states," says Buckeye great Archie Griffin, the only twotime Heisman Trophy winner. "We have a lot of things in common. But in the end, we both want to be the best" Part of the lore is that both programs recruit heavily in each other's states. Many of the players who have participated in the rivalry possess a familiarity with each other from playing high school ball or competing on all-star teams before suiting up for either the Maize and Blue or Scarlet and Gray. Jim Lachey, an All-America guard for the Buckeyes in 1984, says the seeds are planted early when it comes to pledging allegiance to either Ohio State or Michigan. Growing up in St. Henry, Ohio, Lachey, who played professionally for the Washington Redskins, was taught that rooting for the Wolverines was taboo. That was inbred in me from the time I started watching the game," says Lachey, a color analyst for Buckeye football radio broadcasts who was recruited by Michigan. "I knew I wasn't allowed on their team. You knew deep down they were good guys but made a bad choice. You had to beat them and make them pay for it." Rick Leach was destined to be a Wolverine. The three-time All-America quarterback was bom in Ann Arbor, and his father, Dick, and uncle. Bob, were outstanding baseball players at Michigan. To him, Ohio State was the enemy. However, it wasn't until he stepped on the football field and barked signals across from the Buckeyes defense that he got the full gist of what the rivalry was all about. 'Every game was very physical and tough," says Leach, who led the Wolverines to three straight Big Ten titles from 1976-78. "It was just a matter of a lot of great athletes on both sides playing for their schools, playing for state pride." Not only is pride on the line when Michigan and Ohio State strap it on, jobs are on the line as well. Many a successful coach has been fired due to a lack of maintaining superiority in the illustrious series. "If you lose three times to Michigan, it normally means your job," says Bruce.

A defensive battle throughout, Michigan had a chance to eke out the victory with 28 seconds remaining but Mike Lantry's 44-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right. Ohio State's last effort failed following three errant passes. Game over. But the controversy was just beginning, it was expected that Michigan would go to the Rose Bowl to play Southern California based on conference precedent. Surely the Big Ten athletic directors would vote against Ohio State making a return trip to Pasadena despite the fact that the no-repeat rule was no longer in play. The following day, in a bizarre turn of events TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED a secret ballot by the AD's voted 6-4 in favor of the Buckeyes. No official reason was ever given, but It was felt that a healthy Ohio State team would represent the conference better than Michigan, which lost starting guarterback Dennis Franklin to a broken collarbone late in the OSU game. Regardless, Michigan, and specifically head coach Bo Schembechler, screamed foul. He suspected that Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke had influenced the vote in Ohio State's favor. "There were petty jealousies involved and they used the injury to Franklin as a scapegoat," surmised Schembechler following the decision. Despite Bo's protests and threats of lawsuits, Ohio State went on to demolish USC, 42-21. We played the game at Michigan and we didn't get beat," says Archie Griffin, currently the Buckeyes assistant athletic director. "So that had to have something to do with it."

HAYES: PSP PHOTO FILE/SCHEMBECHLER; COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN/ And they only matched wits for a decade. When you think of Ohio State and Michigan, you think of Woody and Bo," says Bruce. "I think the guy who established the rivalry is Woody. He put a great value on the Michigan game." Hayes first victory over Michigan, 27-7, occurred in 1953. He won a national title the following season. In '69, Schembechler guided the Wolverines to a 24-12 victory during his series debut as a head coach. Hayes and the Buckeyes exacted revenge in 70 in Columbus, a game that Ohio State began to prepare for immediately following the loss in '69, according to Bruce. Hayes took the defeat so personally that he read Schembechler s first book in order to get into Bo's mind. The rivalry real took on a life of its own when Woody and Bo were coaching," says Don Lund, the MVP for the Wolverines on the 1944 team. "Each wanted to win so badly and their players fed off that. Woody was a character and he just added fuel to the fire. He would never, ever call Michigan, Michigan. He would say, 'The school to the north.'" Hayes was obsessed, almost to a fault, with I beating Schembechler and Michigan. Said Archie Griffin: "Woody approached the Michigan game differently from any other week during the season. As a matter of fact, he counted the Michigan game as a separate season. [Woody and Bo] were actually best of friends. But you would never have known it during their rivalry. Both were fierce competitors and very much alike in their approach." One of the more interesting subplots in the Hayes and Schembechler saga is that Bo played for Woody at Miami University [Ohio] in 1949 and only to be given his pink slip after three successive losses from 1938-40. One of the more tragic figures rights.

Of course, it's not every day that a broadcaster like the University of Georgia's Larry Munson comes along and makes a call like he did the day before. Georgia had just beaten Tennessee in Knoxville on a late touchdown I pass. Here was the call: "A touchdown!!! My God A!mighty, do you be!ieve what we've done!?! We stepped on their face with a hobnaiied boot and broke their nose." "! didn't even know what a hobnaiied boot was," Munson said, then chuckied."! must have been wanting to reach for something of great magnitude, because the baiigame was obviousiy going to be something of great magnitude. So ! dug that out from somewhere." To Georgia fans, or anyone famiiiar with SEC footba!!, it's another exampie of the briiiiance of Munson, who's been the voice of the Buildogs since 1966. "!'m probably a little too emotional; I might be too much of a homer," he said. "I know I've been accused of that." But that emotion wasn't always focused on Georgia. "I spent quite a longtime doing Vanderbilt football and basketball," Munson said. "I had 16 years there in Nashville. Some of the old tapes I have, I was hollering bloody murder for their basketball team." The 51-year veteran Munson, a Minnesota native, was in Nashville when he got his meal ticket punched to Georgia in 1966—doing play-by-play for the Braves, who were moving from Milwaukee to Atlanta. "The very day I arrived [in Atlanta], there was a story on the front page of the paper saying thatthe University of Georgia announcer was going to be doing the Atlanta Falcons and he was dropping Georgia," Munson said. "I knew the people that were at Georgia, so I picked up the phone and called. The first morning in [Braves] spring training, I had the Georgia job by 10:00 before I ever went to the ballpark." After two years, he left Atlanta to concentrate on the Bulldogs fulltime. He's been in Athens ever since. Over the years, Munson's role as part broad­ caster/part cheerleader has led to many memorable calls, such as the one mentioned earlier. While From his early days broadcasting in the 1960s (leftj to today, Larry Munson has been calling it as he sees it—well, from a Georgia point of view that is. “n touchdomn!!! mq cod RlmightL|, do Ljou believe mhat meVe done!?! lue stepped on their face uiith a hobnailed boot and broke their nose." Munson liberally uses the word "we" in describing the action and does "a lot of little things" to change Georgia's luck, he remembers only one time when he said something over the air to help the team. "The only thing that ever showed up on the air was [in 1982], when we www.ecco.com were fighting to go back to the Sugar Bowl and have a chance to play Penn State for a national title," he said. "Auburn was coming down the field, and we couldn't stop them. I said something like, 'Hunker down, you guys.' "We stopped them on that first play," he continued. "So on second down, I said it again. And we stopped them again. I said it before each play for four downs. Once we stopped them on first down, I was afraid not to say it." For Munson, who's done talk shows, college basketball and Double-A baseball, there's still nothing like college football, weekends. "The anticipation before the game, that's a very big thing," he said. "I do a long morning walk in whatever city I'm in and usually smoke a cigar. Quite often I go around and around the stadium, sometimes the upper rim of the stadium. The game itself is a sheer joy." ■ Jon Cooper is a freelance writer living in Atlanta and a regular contributor to Touchdown Illustrated. 800-886-ecco TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED ^ fiORELCO Get the gift of CLOSENESS Christmas Day While much of America looks forward to spending Christmas Day with family and friends, some college ootball teams substitute presents and eggnog for tackles and touchdowns. While Santa brings presents or the Kids, Christmas Day bowl games give fans some special treats. Lafe in 1991, the word was out: Georgia Tech's coach was leaving to go coach in the pro's. But not before he coached one more time for Georgia Tech in the 1991 bowl game in Honolulu. Although Tech had not approached the level of play it had the previous season, when it earned a share of the national championship, it had still won seven games and was confident heading into its bowl match-up with 18th-ranked Stanford. ' ■ > 1 ^ Although Stanford struck first, on a six-yard scoring run, Georgia Tech fought back and took a 10-7 first quarter lead on a two-yard touchdown pass and a 24-yard field goal. But the next two quarters were dry for Tech, and Stanford held a 17-10 lead in the fourth quorter when GT returned a punt 63 yards to the Stanford 31, with under three minutes remaining. GT s offense led a seven-play drive that finished with a oneyard run, with just 14 seconds to play. Tech then went for the win, by converting on a two-point conversion that gave Georgia Tech an 18-17 triumph. The yuletide fireworks continued the following year, when Kansas met Brigham Young in Howaii. This time, it took just 12 seconds for the explosion. BYU took the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown to stake BYU to a 7-0 lead. But Kansas struck back quickly, scoring less than a minute later with a 74-yard touchdown pass on a flea flicker. Just 1:01 into the game, it was already 7-7. Things settled down after that, and BYU held a 20-12 lead heading into the fourth quarter. But KU's quarterback took it over from one yard out early in the final stanza and then scored on a two-point conversion run to even the score. KU's momentum continued when they hit a 48-yard field goal with just over three minutes remaining, capping a drive that lasted nearly seven minutes. When KU's safety intercepted a BYU pass with 2:11 left, Kansas had its first bowl win in 31 years. Navy brought a 16-year bowl victory drought into its wild 1996 Christmas Day bowl meeting with California. Cal scored on the opening kickoff, but Navy answered back with a long touchdown drive that took just three plays.

With 10:38 left in the game, Navy's head coach inserted his co­ captain at quarterback. That was just what Navy needed. He engineered a 10-play, 80-yard drive and capped it with a three-yard touchdown run, making the score 38-35. On their next possession, he and his Navy teammates went back to work again. To seal the victory. Navy took the ball 84 yards on six plays, and scored from 10 yards out to give Navy a 4238 win. It was the perfect Christmas present and a fine chapter in a long tradition of yuletide football classics. ^ ■ hi' V , ■, h : h; ■::constitjies h omnnt of Nor 2003 Philips Electionics Nortli America Corporation All Rights Reserved PHILIPS A • Close, comforloble shave for sensitive and normal skin • Simply rinses cleon under running water • Patented Reflex Action which outomotkally adjusts to every curve on your face for flexible, smooth shaving # NORELCO • Dispenses Nivea for Men shaving lotion or gel • Shave in or out of the shower Refreshing, wet-shove experience TDI TRADITIONS BRrVfDIMC tocether University of Wisconsin football fans don t leave games until “The Fifth Quarter” is over BY JON COOPER was the reworked Budweiser jingle "You've Said It All."

As part of the Panthers' dominant 1980 squad, which rolled to a No. 2 national ranking. Covert returned to the roster with both nimble feet and a controlled aggression, excelling in pass protection by mastering the two-hand "punch" off the snap of the bail to stun on-rushing defenders. Covert gave up three sacks in his entire Panther career, pitching a shutout as a senior while the offense averaged 34 pass attempts per game. "When we had Marino, he had such a qUick release, as long as we were able to have an aggressive initial punch, it was pretty difficult for the opponents to get a sack," said Covert. Covert credited former Pitt offensive line coach Joe Moore and teammate Russ Grimm with the bulk of his g on-field success.

And it was Fralic who joined the Panthers' offensive line the following season, replacing May as a freshman on his way to earning All-America honors three times and twice finishing in the top 10 in Heisman Trophy voting. But on closer examination, Covert's collegiate career was hardly covert, a fact not lost on the National Football Foun­ dation Hall of Fame, which has honored the two-time FirstTeam All-America selection as an inductee in its Class of 2003. Covert's contributions at the demanding left tackle spot were crucial to Pitt's dominance, as the 6-5,280-pounder protected the blind side of fellow College Hall of Famer Dan Marino while the Panthers enjoyed back-to-back 11-1 seasons in 1980 and '81 with a pair of bowl victories.

"But I honestly believe that people can be called to do other things, like a doctor or lawyer COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA or something like that I honestly believe that I was called to do something like this." If destiny brought Durham, sports and broadcasting together, it wasn't a hard sell. About the only thing Durham liked more than playing sports was watching North Carolina play. "I'd grown up a sports fan," he said. "My dad was an avid Carolina fan. I started going to Carolina games right after he returned from World War II. As a small boy, I saw the Charlie Justice teams in hear people satj, *i uias called to be a minister.' i honestlq believe that i uias called to do something like this.” ‘■you often Chapel Hill.

"But I knew I was not big enough or good ACC basketball for four years on TV find you didn't know until yesterday that I went to Carolina, then I've been doing a hell of a job.'" Durham's done a hell of a job at Chapel Hill ever since. Being able to call Carolina games throughout the '70s meant being able to watch two of the greatest athletes ever to go through Chapel Hill, Michael Jordan and Lawrence Taylor. "His senior year, he was dominant," recalled Durham of Taylor. "It was like a man playing with boys. To have the opportunity to see his career through Tar Heel country over the years, enough to play at the next really start in Carolina and then to see a guy like Michael come along including one of the all-time greats in level.

Durham traded in thrill watching his two sons (Taylor and Wes), also get into the sports radio, which he started doing at age 16, for television and eventually became industry. In fact, Wes is the play-by-play announcer at Georgia Tech. the voice of ACC basketball. Then, in 1971, the UNC job opened up.

However, the defense can't relax as there Edinboro, PA 476-1018 / 476-1115 are a number of ways for a first down to be gained BY STEVE SINISKI 734-1511 THIRD-RIMD-LOIMG decision and ran a good route in space you have a better chance of running for eight yards. The margin of error is much less." The big key for an offense is giving itself the chance to make something happen, and when a team tries to run the ball, it can often find itself trying to do more than just beat the odds. "Running a draw play can put you in trouble to begin with because you're banking on fooling [the defense]," Leach said of taking the ball right through the teeth of an opponent's front line. If you're in field-goal range, however, it is a good play because it's safe." t \ DEFENSE he offense has its back against the wall, and a simple off-tackle run or T quick out won't necessarily get the job done. Across the field, the defense has more options to choose from than a kid in an ice A smart, strong-armed quarterback is vital in getting a team out of a third-and-long situation, and Texas Tech has that in B.J. Symons (right). The one thing Miami defensive coordinator Randy cream shop. It can make like a jail break and turn everyone loose on a blitz, send only a defensive back off the corner, or just drop everyone back into coverage and flood the field with more players than the offense has receivers. It all adds up to a lot of decision- OFFENSE t's one of the most difficult situations for an offense to work out of; the dreaded thirdand-long. The odds are generally stacked against an offense picking up such a chunk of yardage, especially today, as blitzes and I making on top of what can seem like a ton of yards to make up. No matter the choice, the defense has a clear advantage, and it all starts with the men in the trencjnes. "The mpfe pressure you get from the defensive front, the easier it is for the secondary," Miami Hurricanes defensive coordinator Randy Shannon said. "If we zone blitz, we try zone defenses can throw more than a minor wrinkle into any offensive coordinator's Shannon (above)has is a dominant defensive front to apply plenty of pressure on opposing offenses in these situations. While every play carries its own set of variables, believe it or not there is some method to the madness of trying to beat the defense to the first-down marker. And as Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach, one of the budding offensive minds in college football, tells it keeping the drive alive is far from a hopeless proposition. It's all in playing the percentages. "On a good pass play, you want to and get them to throw into coverages where we can get a pick. "If [the offense] gets into a third-and-four orthird-and-five situation [ratherthan third-andlong], they can throw to the hot receiver." k stretch the field horizontally and vertically," Leach said.

Sean McNicholas signed as a free agent with the New York Jets this past April. The All-American punter was released in early June. Three-time All-American Jeremy O’Day played six seasons as an offen­ sive lineman in the Canadian Football League. O’Day played two seasons for the Toronto Argonauts, helping them win the Grey Cup. The 6’3”, 295 lb. offensive guard was chosen by the Argos in the 1997 supplemental draft, and later played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Former Fighting Scots Jeff Traversy and John Williams also played north of the border. Traversy, a 6’5”, 280 lb. nose tackle, was the Calgary Stampeders’ third pick in the 1997 college draft and played through the 2002 season. Williams, Edinboro’s leading rusher in 2001, was drafted by British Columbia in the fourth round of the 2002 CFL Draft. He led the Scots with 723 yards rushing and added 14 receptions in 2001. Several former Edinboro players have enjoyed success in the Arena Football League, most notably Cleveland Pratt. Though just 5’7”, 171 lbs., Pratt prospered in the indoor football league. In 2001 he played for the Florida Firecats, enjoying an outstanding season. He ranked among the league leaders in scoring and all-purpose yardage. Former Edinboro wide receiver Quentin Ware-Bey has also toiled in the AFL2, playing for the Carolina Rhinos. A number of other Fighting Scots have made their marks in the profes­ sional ranks. Denorse Mosely was a member of the Miami Dolphins as a defensive back for two seasons, and was also in training camp with the Green Bay Packers. He spent the majority of his first season with the Dolphins on the practice squad before being activated for the playoffs. James Dumas, a defensive back two years ago for Edinboro, was signed as a free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 1999. Gilbert Grantlin was a free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1996, earning a spot on the prac­ tice squad. Mike Kegarise, a 6’6”, 310 lb. offensive tackle, was highlyregarded by the Seattle Seahawks before suffering a severe knee injury. He spent the 1994 season on the Seahawks’ injured reserve list. Former head coach Tom Hollman produced two other NFL hopefuls. Offensive guard Curtis Rose signed as a free agent with the Miami Dolphins, while wide receiver Ernest Priester was signed by the Denver Broncos. Priester later played for the Cleveland Thunder of the Arena Football League. Edinboro players performing in the NFL date back to the 1970’s, with both Dave Green and Jim Romaniszyn playing for the Cleveland Browns. Green, a run­ ning back, also played for the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL. Dave Green John Williams was drafted by the British Columbia Lions in the fourth round of the 2002 Canadian Football League Draft. A former member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, offensive lineman Jeremy O’Day previously played for the Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts. ? **nt> North Dakota State 45, Edinboro 32 (Fargo, ND — First Round) 1999 emrsuRnmeuTHDODeittipueiiOfaiHBOBO and The Fighting Scots A Winning Combination!!!

Make no bones about, if you’ll pardon the pun, but noseguard is the most brutal position in football. If you’re lucky, only two players block you on a given play. Yet Edinboro’s Eugene Grooms has thrived in the position, serving as the starter the last three years. At 6’1”, 300 lbs.. Grooms has your classic noseguard body Eugene Grooms type. But it takes more than just a certain body style to play the position. “Eugene has great feet, and good balance,” relates defensive line coach Wayne Bradford. “His background as a wrestler really helps. He understands leverage.” With a smile, Bradford then praised, “He’s one one of the toughest SOB’s we have. He’s a warrior.” Grooms broke into the position as a freshman, serving as a backup both at tackle and noseguard. As a sophomore, the native of Huttonville, ONT earned second team All-PSAC West honors in his first season as a starter, and he moved up to first team last year when he finished with 55 tackles. The numbers this year aren’t as impressive, with 20 tackles and a pair of sacks. A nagging knee injury can be attributed to part of the decline, but a change in philosophy is more to blame, points out Bradford. “The greatest compliment to him is when you look at what the linebackers are doing. (Jermaine) Hughley, (Seth) Fragale, (Brandon) Banas are all having strong seasons. Before we lined up on the outside edge. Now, we’re head up and he’s being blocked by three guys. He has sacrificed his own statistics for our defense. He has given himself up. He’s playing a true noseguard, getting blocked by three guys on every down. He has never com­ plained about it.” Grooms will admit this year hasn’t been easy, but winning is the salve for all the ills. “I’ve never really been injured before,” he admitted. “For some reason this year my body is falling apart. With my knee, it’s been five weeks now. But, I don’t have a prob­ lem working hard to get what I want.” As for playing noseguard. Grooms has own feelings about the grueling job. “It’s like being unmanned in a fight. You’re blow for blow with two guys in front of you. You can’t see what goes on in the pile. There’s a lot of stuff that goes on. But there’s no reason to get angry is someone gives you a cheap shot. “I’ve been playing football ever since I was nine years old, so I’ve had a lot of experience on the line. My pee-wee football coaches were really good. My father taught me virtually every­ thing I know.” Grooms’ father played for the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League. Now he hopes he can return to Canada and play professionally. “I’ve been told the CFL is show­ ing interest,” commented Grooms. “I want to get my degree, and pursue a chance to play in the CFL.” Don’t bet against Grooms. He has battled day-in and day-out, and when all is said and done, has clearly come away the winner. Page 52 MAKING THE TOUGH LOOK EASY by Bob Sbrevo, Sports Information nirector For the past few years rumor has it that Edinboro has had nothing but possession receivers. That deep threat that can stretch the defense has been missing. But that has­ n’t stopped Sean Hess from stepping up and becoming one of the leading receivers in Fighting Scot history. Hess enters his final home game with 65 career receptions, good for 11th in career receptions. Making that accomplishment Sean Hess more remarkable is Hess’ neighbor­ hood. The 6’4”, 197 lb. wide receiver lives over the middle. In fact, during his first three years it seemed like he ran nothing but slant patterns, where hungry strong safeties and linebackers were just waiting to devour him. That has never bothered Hess. “I don’t drop many balls. I ask them to have faith in me, and if it’s there. I’ll catch it,” he stat­ ed quietly. “When I came here the offense was majnly running the ball and short passes. Most of the linebackers know that. Playing against our defense has helped. They’re big hitters and the line­ backers are head hunters. Playing them for four years has really helped.” Over the last two years Edinboro has taken full advantage of Hess’ talents. After catching 13 passes for 198 yards as a sopho­ more, Hess got off to a slow start in 2002, failing to catch a pass in the first three games. Since that time he has had at least one catch in each of the last 17 games, all starting with a breakout per­ formance against East Stroudsburg. With the Scots trailing and needing to open up the attack, they took to the air. Hess caught 5 passes for 113 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown grab. He would finish the year with a team-leading 25 receptions for 384 yards and 2 TDs. With a more diversified offense in place this year, Hess has responded with 23 catches, good for second on the team, for 301 yards and 2 TDs. One came this past week at Kutztown, where he ran a short hook pattern, caught the ball at the seven, broke a tackle and then carried another tackier into the end zone for a touchdown. * “Sean always seems to come up with the key catch,” related offensive coordinator Scott Browning. “He brings great confi­ dence to our offense. He’s very good with helping the younger guys out. He knows the system. He will be a really tough kid to replace. Sean is a typical possession-type receiver, but he will always come down with the football. He’s also a very good blocker.” It’s probably no coincidence that Hess’ emergence as a an out­ standing receiver came at the same time Tom Parry arrived as the wide receiver coach. One of the old hands on the staff, Hess as the utmost respect for Parry. “He has so much knowledge. He’s one of the smartest coach­ es I’ve been around. He played the position and understands it. He teaches us. He knows what he’s talking about, and he’s always there for us.” As Hess takes the field at Edinboro for the final time, he knows he made the right choice in following his mother to Edinboro. “My mom was sick when I visited here, so she didn’t come with me. The school seemed like the best fit for me. It was the best for education, for football, and money-wise.” 2003 Hgbtkig Scot Foothal _ CeMrattig 75 Yaara VnCIALS SKNALS Official Football Signals—2003 Ball ready for play *Untimed down Time-out Discretionary or injury time­ out (follow by tapping hands on chest) Start clock First down TV/Radio time-out Incomplete forward pass Penalty declined No play, no score Toss option delayed Loss of down Touchdown Field goal Point(s) after touchdown Safety Legal touching of forward pass or scrimmage kick Inadvertent whistle (Face Press Box) 17 Disregard flag Illegal touching or 30-second timeout End of period Uncatchable forward pass Dffside defense Encroachment (NF) False start Illegal formation Encroachment offense Illegal procedure (NF) 22 V Illegal shift - 2 hands Illegal motion -1 hand Delay of game Substitution infraction Failure to wear required equipment Unsportsmanlike conduct Noncontact foul 32 u.
