Pitt Panthers football team. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site
of the Cleveland Browns vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie
scrimmage, which has been a yearly mid-summer highlight.
The personable athletic director also introduced Edin­
boro’s Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual
year-ending event to honor present and past athletes.
McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12
years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975)
and never experienced a losing season while his teams compiled
an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span,
his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Con­

FIGHTING SCOTS SELECT TRI-CAPTAINS
In voting done by the players last spring, the EUP football
team and coaching staff announced the appointment of three
seniors as tri-captains for the 1986 season. Quarterback Scott
Dodds, defensive tackle Abdul Hakim and center Dave
Higham were selected as field generals for the Scots.
Second-year head coach Steve Szabo feels the three were
well chosen and have already shown their leadership qualities
to date. “Dodds and Higham were our leaders a year ago on
offense and both should be comfortable with their position as
captains this season,” Szabo said. “Also, Abdul has made a
smooth transition from linebacker to down lineman, and he is
well aware that the move to the trenches will benefit this ball
club. The team did the selecting and that is what is important.
Team unity is very important, and the quality of captains has a
lot to do with the progress and direction of a football team,”
Szabo added.
Dodds, a Beaver (PA) high school product, begins his
second season as captain of the Fighting Scot squad. At
quarterback, Dodds knows his role as club leader. “Last season
I had to establish myself and gain the respect of the players,”
Dodds commented. “But going into this season the adjustment
is over. I am looking forward to the opportunity to take this
team to a conference title.”
Although 1985 was Dodds’ initial season as a starter, he
put some impressive numbers on the board in leading the Scots
to a winning season. Dodds established school records for
completions in a game when he connected for 19 against
Slippery Rock, and for completions in a season with 111,
breaking Blair Hrovat’s mark by an even dozen. Across the
board, Dodds totaled 1,380 yards and 7 touchdowns on 216
attempts through the air, while rushing for an additional 267
and a pair of scores. His total offense per game numbers ranked
him third in the Pennsylvania Conference. For his career,
Dodds has completed 127 of 247 passes (51%) for 1,631 yards
and 10 touchdowns. His ground totals are 371 yards on 126
totes for 3 touchdowns. With 1985 and a full year of experience
behind him, Dodds is likely to turn into one of the top
quarterbacks in the rugged 14 team conference.
Higham, from Hubbard High School in Ohio, will be in
the starting lineup for the fourth consecutive year when the
Scots open their season against Wayne State (MI). Most
notably a center, “Higs” showed his versatility as a player last
season, starting all ten games at either center, guard or tackle.
“Dave Higham was our most consistent performer on the
offensive front last season,” Szabo said. “He is, without a
doubt, one of the most dedicated athletes I have ever coached.
He never complains, plays hurt, and simply goes out and does
his job every day. He is an excellent selection for captain,”
Szabo added.
A legitimate All-American candidate, Higham has been
part of an offensive front which has cleared the way for
Edinboro runners to the tune of better than 249 yards per game
over the last 3 seasons. In 1983, the Scots totaled 2,948 yards
and 33 touchdowns in Higham’s initial season, while rushing
for 2,441 yards and 24 scores his sophomore year. A year ago.

with Higham being the only offensive lineman to start every
game, the plaid rushed for 2,090 yards and 20 touchdowns.
With the offensive line situation still very much up in the air,
Higham will be called on to try and unite such a young squad.
“I realize the youth and inexperience in our offensive line this
season,” Higham said. “That puts some pressure on me being a
veteran to try and unite this group into a good offensive front.
Sometimes we get overlooked, but we know the importance of
our role. In order for an offense to execute, the offensive line is
the most important element,” Higham added.
Hakim, from nearby Erie Academy, was a part-time
starter for the plaid a year ago at linebacker, but this season has
made the move to defensive tackle. “When we made the change
from the 3-4 defense, we had to come up with some quality
lineman and Hakim fit the bill,” Szabo said. “He’s been chosen
as our leader on defense, and the staff feels he will do a ifine job.
He is aggressive, quick and smart, plus he has handled the
change in position quite well.” At 5T0", 200 pounds a year ago,
Hakim ranked 13th on the squad in tackles /With 40 (16
unassisted), while registering a pair of stops behind the line of
scrimmage.
“In the heat of the game, it is very important to have
people on the field that you know can take control of a game if
need be. As a coach, it is vital to have confidence in your
captains, and I feel the players did an outstanding job in the
selection. With the youth of our squad this season, the
importance of our three senior captains grows even more.
Down the stretch of a close game, it will be nice to know that
Dodds, Higham and Hakim will be the field generals for us,”
Szabo concluded.

ALL-AMERICAN PLACEKICKER JIM TRUEMAN
With two All-American seasons behind him, Edinboro
University placekicker Jim Trueman has accomplished a great
deal. Has it changed the Northgate High School product at all?
Not one bit. “I really do try to keep things in proper
perspective,” Trueman noted. “I have always been a team
player and my goals have always been team oriented. At this
position, you realize that you are going to be put into situations
where it may look like the kicker has either won or lost the
game by what is done on a single kick of the football. But
realistically, the other eleven men on the field are far more
important than I am. They have to be sharp on every play and
that’s pressure. I simply go out and try and do my best on each
snap.”
The Associated Press has tabbed Trueman as All-Ameri­
can the past two years, and 1986 should be no different barring
any type of injury. His numbers speak for themselves. In his
freshman campaign back in 1983, Trueman was good on 39 of
43 extra points and 10 of 15 field goals for 69 points and a 13th
ranking in the NCAA Division II scoring leaders. And he was
not chosen All-American. Trueman used these numbers to
raise some eyebrows across the country. “Being only a fresh­
man it is real tough to get the recognition across the country,
but things have picked up since,” noted Trueman. His
sophomore season was almost a carbon copy, as “True”
connected on 42 of 43 PAT’s and 11 of 16 three pointers for 75
points and his first All-American season. His 75 tallies ranked
him sixth in the country’s elite based on a points per game total.
“In my first two years here at the Boro, I was very fortunate to
play with some high powered offenses, so my numbers were
high,” Trueman added.
In 1986, with the Edinboro scoring numbers not up to past
standards, Trueman’s point totals were not as high, but the
dead-eye accuracy was still there. The Bellevue, PA, native
connected on 10 of 15 field goals and 19 of 23 extra points fora
solid total of 49. Of his 10 conversions on 3-pointers, 4 of those
boots came on the road against Central Connecticut for a new
Edinboro record, 1 of 5 he currently owns. On his most recent
record Trueman was quick to point out where the credit was
due. “That night in Connecticut the offense put me in some
good field position to make those kicks. After all, they worked
very hard that night offensively, and if it just so happens to stall
then I’m called on to do my job,’’Trueman said. That evening
Trueman was good on attempts from 29 twice, 40 and 42 yards,
while missing from 45 and 52. “Five would have been nice, but I
just came up short,” he added.
When it comes to records Trueman is no stranger. Besides
the four field goals in one game he also currently owns marks
in: most extra points in one season (42), most consecutive extra
points (41), most extra points in one game (7), and a running
total of 100 for PAT’s in a career. Trueman has converted
lOO-of-109 extra points for a solid 92% while connecting on
3 l-of-46 three pointers for 67% in his initial three seasons at the
Boro. As far as additional records for 1986, there is one that
stands out which could literally put Trueman in a class by
himself. With his current point total of 193, Jim needs 72 points
to break the all-time Pennsylvania Conference scoring record
for total points, a mark set by Millersville University halfback

Ricky Stonewall (1981-84). “Just shooting for the total is a
great situation to be in,” Trueman commented. “When I came
here I knew we would score some points, but the all-time
scoring mark was not in my sights. I am just thankful for the
opportunity to kick for such an outstanding football program.”
Also in reach are the long-standing kicking records in the PC
set by former Clarion great Bill May. May currently holds the
NCAA Division II mark for field goals in a game with five,
while also securing conference records for field goals in a
season (16) and career (49). All three marks are definitely
within reach, but Trueman once again shows his unselfishness
in response. “They would all be nice, I cannot deny that fact.
But I would trade them all for a conference title and a trip to the
national playoffs. This is my final season to get one, and I’m
hungry for a title,” Trueman concluded.
Edinboro head coach Steve Szabo knows the importance
of a Jim Trueman on a football team and is quick to point it
out. “Jim is a quality placekicker and you don’t find too many
of those on the Division II level. With some teams a field goal
attempt is a real adventure, but not with Trueman. He is almost
a guarantee. Like I have said in the past, Trueman will be a
deciding factor in many of our ball games this season. As a
coach I am looking for the consistent performers and that is
what Jim Trueman is,” Szabo concluded.
In closing Trueman offered credit where credit was due as
he summed up his successful kicking career. “The snap and the
hold. Most of the time it is overlooked by football fans. This
season, snapper Kevin Collins and my holder Dave Gierlak will
play vital roles in the success of our kicking game. They are very
important to me and did an outstanding job a year ago,”
Trueman added.

SCOTS LOOKING TO IMPROVE ON 5-4-1 MARK

Second-year head coach Steve Szabo and his Fighting
Scot football squad are looking to improve on their third place
finish in the rugged Pennsylvania Conference Western Divi­
sion a year ago, as the Plaid prepare for another hard-nosed
season among the PC heavyweights. In 1986, the Scots return a
host of talent which should put them in the heat of the battle
come title time.
“We feel that we have the talent in the skilled positions to
make the big plays this year, which should allow us to open up
our offense a little more,” Szabo said. Traditionally a Wing-T
squad on offense, the Scots are likely to use a more pro oriented
approach to their ‘86 offensive plan. “With the year of growth
and maturity for quarterback Scott Dodds, we will be using the
two wide receiver set more often this season. Scotty proved he
could throw the ball a year ago, and I have confidence his
numbers will be even better in 1986,” Szabo continued.
Most definitely, if the Plaid is going to contend for the
division crown, the weight of the EUP offense falls on the
shoulders of tri-captain Dodds. The 6'3" signal caller from
Beaver, PA, should establish himself as one of the top
quarterbacks in the conference this year, coming off a brilliant
junior season, posting numbers good enough to rank third in
the entire conference in total offense. Completing a school

record 111 passes on 216 attempts, Dodds totaled 1,380 yards
through the air for 7 touchdowns, while also churning out 267
hard-earned yards on the ground foj; his third place showing in
the PC. Dodds averaged 164.7 y/lrds per game for the “o,”
placing him behind only Rich Ingold of lUP and Brendon
Folmar of California. “Scott showed me a lot of poise a year
ago, and we’ll call on him to lead the offense all season. If we
can get the protection for him to open up his game, no telling
what kind of numbers he will put up,” Szabo stated. “You also
can’t overlook his ability to run the football. He has deceptive
speed, with a knack for finding the opening on the corner.”
Indeed, the offensive front will be the key to the Plaid’s
success this season, as the Scots look to replace four quality
veterans lost through graduation. Leading the list of returnees
up front will be tri-captain Dave Higham. The 6'2", 240-pound
center will anchor the Scot interior, a place “Higs” has romped
successfully over the last three seasons. “Higham is one of the
most dedicated athletes I have ever coached,” stated Szabo.
“He comes to play every down and give his 100%. There were
games last year, where he should have never played but
somehow managed to get himself ready for action every
Saturday.” The fifth-year senior from Hubbard, OH, will have
to pull a somewhat green offensive front together if the Scot

12

The 71 tallies may seem out of sight, but not for Trueman. The
5'8", 180 pound, Bellevue, PA, product has totaled 69, 75, and
49 points for his total of 193 in his first 3 years, and is looking
forward to a crack at the record. “For Trueman to get the mark,
we have to have a great year offensively, and get better field
position fo; the three points,” Szabo said. When it comes to
accuracy, Trueman’s numbers can be matched with anyone’s
across the country. His freshman campaign, “True” connected
on 39-of-43 extra points and lO-of-15 field goals, followed by
42-for-43 and an ll-for-16 showing his sophomore season.
With the EUP offense sputtering at times a year ago, Trueman
posted lower numbers but his range was still there; connecting
on 19-of-23 PAT’S and 10-15 field goal attempts. A very
consistent offensive weapon throughout his EUP career,
Trueman will be relied on heavily to help carry the scoring load
for the Plaid once again this fall.
On the offensive receiving end, the Scots will enter the
1986 campaign with the same corp of players they had a year
ago. Leading the squad with 22 receptions last season was Dave
Gierlak (Buffalo, NY). The Scots’ prime possession receiver,
Gierlak totaled 300 yards through the air and 1 score, while
rushing for 53 yards on just 2 carries including a 19 yard scoring
jaunt. Also looking for playing time this fall will be Cleveland
Pratt (10 catches, 114 yards), Daryl Cameron (6 for 73) and
John Toomer (5 for 42). One strength the Scots are assured of
this fall, will be at the tight end position. Returning to anchor
the offensive front will be veterans Bob Suren (Parma, OH),
Scott Brown (Greensburg, PA) and Brian Ferguson (Bethel
Park, PA). Suren, in just 8 games, grabbed 12 passes for 152
yards and 3 scores, while Brown latched on to 5 passes for 81
and a score.
Defensively the Scots will make the transition from their
traditional 3-4 defense, back to the old school 4-3 set. Up front,
the Plaid will return a pair of all-conference performers in
Chuck Murray (Tyrone, PA) and Rob Lewis (Rochester, NY).
Murray, at 6'4", 255, caused many problems for opposing
offenses in 1985, registering 59 tackles, including 5 behind the
line of scrimmage. A first team All-Conference choice, Murray
will have to be in top form to solidify the Boro defense. Lewis,
also an imposing figure at 6'3", 250, should really come into his
own in ‘86, coming off a 38 tackle performance last season. A
second-team choice in ‘85, Lewis also tallied 5 stops for loss,
while collecting 1 QB sack. “Murray and Lewis will be the key
to our defensive performance this season,” Szabo added. “With
the year of experience they got last season, both will be a force
to contend with in the middle. With our inexperience at
linebacker, we will be looking for those two to make plenty of
stops.” Joining Murray and Lewis across the front will be
tri-captain Abdul Hakim and Harlen Ware. Hakim, a
converted linebacker to defensive tackle, was in on 40 stops a
year ago including a pair for losses. Ware, the squad’s
outstanding defensive player in the annual red-white scrim­
mage in the spring, was 14th on the team in tackles a year ago in
reserve role, registering 34 stops and causing a pair of fumbles.
The linebacking crew for 1986 will consist of a mix of
veterans and second year players, with a pair of positions not
yet filled. Allen Ellis (Albion, NY) the squad’s fourth leading
tackier with 68 stops, and John Cardone (Pittsburgh, PA) third
on the team with 71 tackles will anchor the middle line of

running attack is going to live up to past standards. Also
looking to crack the starting offensive line will be guards Larry
Rosenthal (Manassas, VA) and Dave Nye (Windsor, OH).
Both return with game experience from a year ago, and will be
relied on to help carry the load up front. At tackle, the Scots are
looking at converted defensive player Rob Brownrigg and
sophomore Mark Courtney (Salem, OH). Also looking to aid
the Plaid up front will be a host of talented freshmen, led by
6T", 235-pound tackle Joseph Brooks. A product of Austintown Fitch High School in Youngstown, OH, Brooks could
help the squad right away. “We feel that we have a quality
individual in Brooks,” Szabo said. “He is a fine looking athlete
with great agility. He also is a very versatile lineman, so he can
help us anywhere across the front. In addition to Brooks,
Szabo’s list of impressive freshmen include Brad Powell (6'2",
240, West Middlesex, PA), Dan Shaffer (6'3", 255, Youngs­
town, OH), Tom Terhart (6'2", 215, Lackawanna, NY) and
Rich Urko (6'2", 250, Monongahela, PA) to help the Scots in
the trenches.
Traditionally the strength of the Scot offense, the running
game should be as strong as ever with the return of Floyd
Faulkner, Jim Pisano, Ross Rankin and John Georgiana.
Faulkner (Coraopolis, PA) should be the Scots’ starting
halfback on opening day this season, a role he has looked
forward to for two years. The squad’s second leading ball
carrier last season, Faulkner netted 429 yards on just 89 totes
for a solid 4.8 yards per carry average and three touchdowns.
Also a threat out of the backfield, Faulkner caught 14 passes
for 122 and 1 TD in 1985. “Floyd should really come into his
own this season,” Szabo said. “He has great balance and is a
true break-away threat every time he touches the football.”
Pisano (Lower Burrell, PA) is likely to be the Scots’#! fullback
due to his unselfish nature and nose for the goal line. Leading
the squad a year ago in rushing touchdowns with 5, Pisano
carried the skin 66 times for 263 tough yards for a 4.0 average.
Meanwhile, Rankin (Canton, OH) and Georgiana (Altoona,
PA) posted 251 and 72 yards respectively a year ago to give the
team a strong returning corp to the EUP backfield. Rankin also
latched onto 10 passes for 142 yards last season, while
Georgiana touched pay dirt every 8 times he touched the
football from his fullback spot. Although the squad is solid in
the backfield, coach Szabo has brought in some quality
freshman that could make an immediate impact on the squad.
Heading the list of newcomers are Oil City High School
sprinter Chris Conway and Erie native Mike Miczo. Conway, a
4.3 in the 40-yard dash, brings added speed to the EUP backs,
while Miczo (Northwestern High School) is likely to help the
Plaid in a number of places on the offense. “Conway gives us
another breakaway threat, while Miczo does so many things
well, all around, that they both could see plenty of action
throughout the year,” Szabo added.
Another strength to the Edinboro offense this season will
come from the right foot of All-American placekicker Jim
Trueman. An Associated Press All-American the past two
seasons, Trueman will cap off a brilliant EUP career this fall, as
he embarks on the Pennsylvania Conference record books.
Needing a fine 71 point output this season, Trueman would
capture the all-time scoring mark in the PC for career points
held by Millersville University runningback Ricky Stonewall.

defense for ‘86 Scots. Also looking for the starting nod this
season will be Regis Lux (Pittsburgh, PA) and Joe Bulas
(Johnstown, PA). Bulas registered 22 stops in limited play a
year ago, while Lux was limited to kickoff coverage duty, but
played excellent ball in the spring. In looking at the hnebacking
situation for the ‘86 squad, Szabo will be relying on freshmen to
come in and play for depth at the position. The Scots’ top
recruit at linebacker this year will be Paul Sibila out of
Massillon, OH. The 6'3", 207-pound product has caught the
eye of the EUP coaching staff, turning in a 4.8 time m the 40, to
go along with an outstanding 51.5 clocking in the 440. “He has
a lot of pure athletic ability and this is what you’re looking for
in any recruit. I believe he will be able to help us right away,

Edinboro will tune up for conference action this season
opening at home against Wayne State (Sept. 6) and Mansfield
(Sept. 13) before hosting Slippery Rock on September 2 on
“Parents Day.’’ The remainder of the Scots’ schedule is as
follows: October 4 at lUP, October 11 at West Chester, home
vs Clarion October 18 for homecoming, October 25 at Lock
Haven, home November 1 vs. Shippensburg, followed by two
road games at California November 8 and at Fairmont State
(WV) November 15.
.
“I’m really looking forwarjk to the start of the season,
Szabo said. “Last season was ah adjustment for all of us, but I
hope the transition is over. The conference is as tough as
thought, and we are going to have to play all-around better
football, both offensively and defensively, if we are going to
have a shot at the conference crown. There are plenty of good
teams in this division and we are going to have to be ready every

Szabo stated.
The Scot secondary could be the strength of this year s
defense, led by veteran Martelle Betters, Claude Webb,
Michael Churn and red-shirt freshman Mike Willis. Betters, an
all-conference selection as a sophomore, returns for his senior
campaign to anchor the Scot secondary. Betters was the
squad’s ninth leading tackier last season, collecting 47 stops
and 1 QB sack. The 6'0", 180-pound product out of Connellsville, PA, also broke up 4 passes and blocked 1 punt in 1985. A
trio of talented youngsters are likely to make up
remain er
of the Plaid secondary in Webb, Churn and Wilhs. Web
registered 17 stops a year ago, while picking off 1 pass in limited
action while Churn and Willis are trying to shake off injuries
from a year ago to land in the starting secondary. “We have a
group of very talented players in our defensive backfield wit
great speed and range. We should be stronger back there this
season,’’ Szabo pointed out. “This is a throwing conference and
you must stop the pass if you’re going to win.

TARTARS OUTLOOK
With 40 of 51 lettermen and 20 starters returning, Wayne State
head coach David Farris and his staff are confident the Tartars will
improve on the uncharacteristic 1-8-1 finish of a year ago. Senior
quarterback Rich Popp is fully recovered from a throwing arm injury
that hampered him all last season and ready to return to his
sophomore season form that garnered him All-GLIAC honors. Also
recovered from injuries are running backs Vic Chenault and L.C.
Bulger. The receiver spots are nailed down, by returning starters Tom
Badalamenti (23 receptions for 439 yar-ds) and Tim Jones. Up front
the Tartars look strong with all five starters returning including all­
conference selection Tim Schramm. On defense eight starters return
including outside linebacker Robert Magee and inside linebacker
Mark Brown both all-conference in ‘85. Handling the specialist duties
are senior placekicker Jerry McGowan, Wayne State’s all-time field
goal kicker, and punt returner Keith Bennett, who finished number 12
in the NCAA II with a 10.4 yards per punt average.

MOUNTAINEERS OUTLOOK
Hoping to rebound from last years 3-7 record, Mansfield coach
Thomas Elsasser welcomes back 10 starters. The most effective player
in the Mounties offense should be three year starter Robert Funder­
burk (Sr., 5-8, 180) running behind the blocking of guard Rod Purcell
(6-2,295). Top candidates for the quarterback job include junior Todd
Smith (6-0, 185) and freshman Chris Fusco (6-1, 180).
Defensively, the Mounties return three starters in the backfield,
including free-safety Doug Westervalt (Sr., 6-0, 205), cornerback
John Meyers (Sr., 6-0, 190), and linebacker Mike Beamish (Jr., 6-0,
225). The backfield will miss the play of Scott Holtzapple, while the
defensive line will be hard-pressed to fill the void left by AllConference tackle Don Chubb, MU’s fall Athlete of the Year in 1985.

ROCKETS OUTLOOK
The Rock won its last three games to salvage a 5-5 season a year
ago, but Don Ault has some gigantic gaps to plug in his fifth season at
SRU.
Graduation claimed 11 seniors but 7 of those veterans accounted
for a total of 17 All-Conference citations and 5 All-America mentions.
The Rocket offense was particularly hard hit with casualties including
MVP Wade Acker, running back Ch^ck Sanders, and tackle Gary
Charmel.
*
SRU suffered through quarterback problems for much of last
season but senior Eric Denton is the projected starter for ‘86. All-PC
tackle Tim Grove (6-1, 250) leads the offensive line while Ault is
optimistic that fleet Rich Twine (5-9, 200) can take up the slack as a
ground gainer.
All-PC safety Todd Durand leads the secondary which returns
intact. Linebacker Dave Linton (6-3,240) led SRU in tackles last y(

BIG INDIANS OUTLOOK
The Braves won the Western Division and were ranked third in
the NCAA Division II last year before losing to Bloomsburg, 31-9, in
the championship game. They are favored to go all the way this year
with 47 lettermen and 15 starters back for new coach Frank Cignetti.
The former West Virginia mentor (1976-79) is returning to coaching
after a seven-year absence. The big question will be who will start at
quarterback in place of ECAC Player of the Year Rich Ingold, who
passed for 2,760 yards and 23 touchdowns. Leading candidates are
juniors Bob Kiel and Scott Rhodes. The receiving corps returns intact
in split ends Tony Trave, 55 catches for 788 yards, Darel Patrick and
tight end Doug Niesen. Tailback Pat McCullough and fullback Steve
Girting will handle the running chores. AILECAC tackle Jim Angelo
(6-4, 272) is a force on the offensive line. Linebacker Bob Buriak and
Chris Bache and free safety John Pettina are the team’s best on
defense.

The Golden Rams just missed winning the division title the last
two years, losing to Bloomsburg by three points two years ago and two
points last season. With a wealth of talent on hand, this could be their
year. Returning quarterback A1 Niemela (1,331 yards passing) was
named the ECAC Rookie of the Year/last season and has two top
receivers in Bill Hess (33 catches) and#5im Sheehan (30 catches). The
running chores will be handled by Mike Burnetta and Jason Sims. On
defense, linebacker and two-year leading tackier John Mininno is one
of the conference’s best. Also back are ends Joe Ellis and Dean
DiPasquale and linebacker Doug Kelly. Coach Danny Hale also has a
pair of veteran kickers in punter Charlton Hollenbach and kicker
Gary Desmond.

GOLDEN EAGLES OUTLOOK
In 1985, the Golden Eagles extended their NCAA Division II
leading mark of 22 consecutive winning seasons and 25 consecutive
non-losing seasons, compiling an 8-2 overall record and a 16th
ranking in the final NCAA Division II poll. The 1986 Golden Eagles
could be looking at a rebuilding season, since 5 All-Americans and 11
starters graduated from the 1985 squad. Offensively, Clarion will
count on quarterback Doug Emminger (Jr., 5-10, 180), who started
the final five games of 1985. His favorite returning target will be tight
end Jim Hahn, (Sr., 6-0,215), who caught 35 passes for 736 yards and
1 TD last year. Tailback Mick Kehe(Jr., 5-9, 187), an All-Conference
selection in 1985 when he ran for 460 yards and 4 TD’s in only 4 games,
returns to lead the ground attack. Defensively, the Eagles will be
looking to replace All-American noseguard John Hughes. Back from
a “D” that led the PSAC-West in team defense last year is AllConference tackle Ken Edwards (Sr., 6-3, 265). The secondary has
strength returning in cornerback John Besic (Sr., 6-0, 190), and free
safety Bob Kelly (Jr., 6-0, 190).

The Lock Haven University Bald Eagles return 28 lettermen for
the 1986 football season, including 9 starters on offense and 7 on
defense, as they strive to improve on the 3-7 record of a year ago.
Quarterback Pat Cahill, runners Gary Simpson, Tom Smykowski and Rosey Brown, receivers Brian Stugart, Ed Frisbie and
John Klacik, and linemen John Eisenh^ooth, Todd Johnson and Jim
McGonnell will lead the offense, ^he wishbone running attack
averaged 239 yards a game last season, 8th in the nation in NCAA
Division 11, but the passing game must improve.
Defensively, ends Julio Enos and Mike Major, middle guard
Steve Suriano, linebacker Stan Allen, and backs Jeff Swanson, Hank
Boyd and Matt Kitting are returnees. There are 6 other lettermen and
some impressive newcomers here, and the Bald Eagles look to reduce
the 24 points a game they allowed in 1985.

RED RAIDERS OUTLOOK
This could be the surprise team in the Western Division. The Red
Raiders have 16 returning starters greeting new coach Joe Bottiglieri.
Leading a veteran-packed offense will be All-Conference tailback
Frank Van Buren, who ran for 741 yards and caught 21 passes for
another 225 yards. Bill Roth took over at quarterback midway
through last season and turned the team’s offense around. The Red
Raiders averaged only 9.2 points per game for the first 5 games and
17.2 for the last 5. Roth’s leading targets, tight end Dave Peck and split
end Scott Duke, are both back. Two-time All-PC safety Ed Nork (6-3,
205) heads the defensive unit. Also returning on defense will be
linebackers Dave Szlachetka (72 tackles) and Pat Fahie (82 tackles.)

VULCANS OUTLOOK
Coming off their first losing season in three years. Coach Jeff
Petrucci and his Vulcan team will hope to return to the top behind a
veteran offense that returns seven starters from 1985. Leading the “O”
will be senior quarterback Brendan Folmar (156 of 350, 1,891 yards)
who was second-team All-PSAC last year. Folmar’s primary targets
will be wideouts Ed Alford (23-477 yards), Frank Sacco and Dave
Lease. All-PSAC tackle Bob Holtz returns to solidify the line. The
defense, which loses seven starters, will be spearheaded by All-PSAC
cornerback Bob McDonough (10 break-ups) and hard-hitting safety
Bob Tokarezyk (67 tackles). Anchoring the defensive line are Glenn
Richards (6-1, 230) and Paul Leonar^^(6-3, 235).

FALCONS OUTLOOK
Returning for his third year, Fairmont coach Wally Hood hopes
to make a run for the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference relying on a strong running game led by 5-10, 185 lb.,
junior halfback Joe Kikume and promising freshman red-shirt
Donnie Overton to do the job. Opening the holes for the backs will be
a veteran offensive line led by senior captains Frank Pofer (6-1, 210)
and Tom Rogers (6-3, 230).
If Fairmont is to improve on last year’s 7-3 record and 16th
ranking in the NAIA, they’ll have to rebuild the passing game. With
the loss of NAIA All-American wide receiver Ed Coleman and
tailback Brian Brown, sophomore quarterback Tom Morrone will be
looking for new targets this year. Defensively, the Falcons appear
solid, returning 8 starters from last year’s team. Top defensive
returnees include linebacker Scott Williamson, defensive back Marty
Guzzetta, cornerback Vince Mitchell and defensive tackle Tom
Kickler.

1985 SEASON IN REVIEW

POST-SEASON HONORS FOR 1985 FIGHTING SCOTS

EDINBORO 23 — WAYNE STATE 23
DETROIT, MI - Steve Szabo’s first game as head coach of the
Fighting Scots was a memorable one as his troops rallied from a 23-0
third-quarter deficit to deadlock Wayne State in the sweltering heat.
Wayne State standout quarterback Rich Popp caught the Scots
off-guard as he rifled three first-half touchdown passes. Showing their
stfong stamina in the uncomfortable heat and humidity, the Scots
began their comeback late in the third quarter on a one-yard
touchdown plunge by fullback Jim Pisano.
Pisano tacked on a nine-yard touchdown run early in the fourth
quarter and quarterback Scott Dodds completed a pass to tight end
Scott Brown for the all-important two-point conversion. The Scots
scored the tying touchdown with 3:35 left on a 19-pass reception by
Dave Gierlak. Cleveland Pratt made a catch for the two-point
conversion which deadlocked the opening contest.
The Scots had an opportunity to pull off a stunning comeback
when John Cardone intercepted a pass with less than a minute
remaining, butthey ran out of time with the ball at the Wayne State
39.

McCullough led the Big Indians rushing attack with 100 and 92 yards,
respectively. Star quarterback Rich Ingold was held to 132 yards
passing by the fired-up Edinboro defense which intercepted 3 passes,
but he completed 15 of 25 aerials for 2 scores. Dodds had a fine outing,
completing 17 of 30 passes, but he threw 3 interceptions. Defensive
backs Mark Perkins and Martelle Betters and linebacker Marvin
Winn all registered 20 tackles.
EDINBORO 30 — EAST STROUDSBURG 14
EDINBORO, PA - Edinboro rolled up 450 yards in offense and
scored 3 second-half touchdowns for a come-from-behind win over
winless East Stroudsburg. East Stroudsburg, which caught the Scots
off guard throughout the first half with an effective draw play, took a
14-10 lead at halftime by scoring on a fluke play on the final play of the
first half when field goal kicker Mike Augustin rifled a 17-yard
touchdown pass following a botched field goal attempt.
The Scots came back to control the second half and took tbe lead
for good on a 2-yard touchdown reception by tight end Bob Suren.
Edinboro tacked on 2 more scores in the fourth quarter on,a 12-yard
run by David Span and a 5-yard jaunt by Ross Rankin with'less than a
minute remaining. Edinboro rolled up 231 yards rushing and 219
passing. Dodds completed 14 of 24 passes and also rushed^for 76 yards
on 12 carries. Span led the Scots with 81 yards rushing and 106 stripes
in pass receptions, including a screen pass which went for 65 yards.
Strong safety Mark Perkins turned in another standout game as he
recorded 13 tackles.

EDINBORO 40 - CENTRAL CONNECTICUT 13
NEW BRITAIN, CT - David Span rushed for 192 yards on 16
carries and Jim Trueman booted a school-record 4 field goals to lead
the Scots to their first win of the season.
Leading 20-7 at halftime, the Scots broke the game wide open in
the third period on 2 field goals by Trueman and a 74-yard touchdown
scamper by Span. All totaled, the Scots rolled up 340 yards rushing
and Dave Gierlak snagged 5 of Dodds’9 pass completions, good for 75
yards. Linebackers Allen Ellis and Marvin Winn both registered 10
tackles to spearhead the Edinboro defensive which held Central
Connecticut to a scant 25 yards rushing.

CLARION 26 — EDINBORO 7
CLARION, PA - The Scots’ hopes for a Pennsylvania Con­
ference title were dashed as they were stopped by a strong Clarion
squad in late October. Leading 10-7 at halftime, Clarion pulled away
in the second half behind a running game which totaled 212 net yards
and a passing attack of 241 yards. Fullback Mick Kehoe ripped his
way through the Scots, picking up 184 yards rushing on 30 carries. The
Scots were held to 122 yards rushing and 122 yards passing.

CALIFORNIA 14 - EDINBORO 9
EDINBORO, PA - The Scots suffered a disappointing loss to
defending champ California in their conference opener before a
Parents Day crowd of 5,500.
Edinboro had little difficulty moving the sticks, as they racked up
20 first downs and totaled 200 yards rushing and 138 passing. But they
were unable to dent the endzone until John Georgiana’s 2-yard
touchdown run with 1:34 left in the game.
After a scoreless first half, Edinboro took a 3-0 lead early in the
third period on Jim Trueman’s 35-yard field goal. Two quick scores by
California early in the fourth quarter proved to be the winning points.
Effectively using the tight end over-the-middle in their passing
scheme, the Vulcans completed 18 of 30 passes for 156 yards and the 2
scores. Floyd Faulkner led Edinboro ballcarriers with 76 yards on 15
totes while Dave Gierlak caught 5 passes for 51 yards.

EDINBORO 27 — LOCK HAVEN 22
EDINBORO, PA - On another wet and muddy day at Sox
Harrison Stadium, the Scots out-pointed the Bald Eagles behind the
play of quarterback Scott Dodds. Dodds ran for 114 yards on 13
carries and 1 score on the muddy turf, and tJie junior signal caller also
completed 6 of 13 passes for 80 yatds and/a score. His touchdown pass
to Scott Brown late in the first half was*a big one as he surpassed Blair
Hrovat’s school record of 99 completions in a single season.
Lock Haven took a 15-14 lead midway through the third period.
Edinboro went ahead to stay on a 6-yard touchdown run by Floyd
Faulkner minutes later. The Scots took a 27-15 lead midway through
the final period on a 5-yard run by Jim Pisano.
The Scots rushed for 302 yards while Lock Haven ran wild with
its wishbone offense, rolling up 345 yards on the ground. The Bald
Eagles completed just 3 of 6 passes for 37 yards.

EDINBORO 32 — SLIPPERY ROCK 21
SLIPPERY ROCK, PA - Scott Dodds threw for a school record
18 completions to lead the Fighting Scots to a victory over rival
Slippery Rock to spoil the Rockets’ homecoming festivities.
Dodds completed passes to 9 different receivers in breaking Blair
Hrovat’s single-game record. He threw for 236 yards and 3 touch­
downs, including scoring tosses in the third period to Bob Suren (14
yards) and Floyd Faulkner (33 yards) which erased a 14-12 deficit. The
Scots took a commanding 32-14 fourth quarter lead on a 5-yard
touchdown run by Jim Pisano.
Faulkner caught 5 passes for 54 yards and rushed for a team-high
51 yards. Suren snagged 2 touchdown passes from his tight end
position, and finished with 4 receptions for 64 yards. John Cardone
and Matt Grebenc led Edinboro tacklers with 10 and 9 stops,
respectively.

EDINBORO 24 - SHIPPENSBURG 21
SHIPPENSBURG, PA - Edinboro struck for 17 straight secondhalf points and held on for a 24-21 conference win over the Raiders on
a sunny November day in Shippensburg.
The Scots went ahead, 14-13, late in the third period on a 15-yard
touchdown ramble by Ross Rankin. A 2-yard touchdown plunge by
John Georgiana and a 35-yard field goal by Jim Trueman gave the
Scots what appeared to be a comfortable 24-13 lead midway through
the fourth quarter. Shippensburg, however, struck for a quick
touchdown pass, and was threatening to score again in the final
minutes when a big sack by Mark Perkins snuffed out the comeback.
Halfback David Span had another fine outing with 100 yards
rushing and 71 yards on 4 pass receptions. Edinboro had 430 yards in
offense, including 300 on the ground. Big stickers for the Scots on
defense were Harlan Ware with 11 tackles, including 7 solo stops, and
Marvin Winn with 9 tackles.

lUP 35 — EDINBORO 9
EDINBORO, PA - The nationally-ranked lUP Big Indians put a
damper on Edinboro’s homecoming by rolling to a 35-9 victory. The
Indians scored in every quarter and controlled the line of scrimmage
as they rushed for 244 yards. Bruising backs Dave Seidel and Pat

1985 Season in Review, Continued
FAIRMONT STATE 20 — EDINBORO 16
EDINBORO, PA - The Scots’ 5-4-1 season came to a dis­
appointing finish as they dropped a 20-16 decision to Fairmont State
on the rain-soaked Sox Harrison turf. Edinboro’s inability to contain
the Fairmont runners led to its downfall. Fairmont rolled up 316 yards
rushing and ripped off a handful of long gainers to demoralize the
Scots. Fairmont led 6-0 when Brian Brown scampered 72 yards on the
second play from scrimmage. Fairmont scored 4 minutes later on a
2-yard touchdown run which was set up by gains of 24 and 33 yards to
stun the Scots early with the 14-0 lead. Edinboro then settled down
and began its comeback. A 19-yard touchdown scamper by wide
receiver Dave Gierlak on a reverse put the Scots on the scoreboard late
in the first period. Jim Trueman booted a 25-yard field goal with 7
seconds left in the first half, then Edinboro got the break it needed
when it recovered a fumbled punt snap at the Fairmont 1 yard line late
in the third quarter. John Georgiana’s touchdown plunge gave the
Scots their first lead of the game. But Edinboro was unable to hold
onto the lead as Brown scored the winning touchdown from 6 yards
out in the fourth quarter at the 10:27 mark. The big play in Fairmont’s
winning drive was a 46-yard run on a third-and-three from its own 42.
Edinboro played for most of the game without star quarterback
Scott Dodds, who was hobbled with an ankle injury. Edinboro
struggled in the passing department, completing only 3 of 18 attempts.

EDINBORO RECORDS:
Most Extra Points (Season) - 42
Most Consecutive Extra Points - 41
Most Extra Points (Career) - 81
Most Extra Points (Game) - 7 vs. Mercyhurst (Tied)
Most Field Goals (Game) - 3 vs. Shippensburg (Tied)
In pursuit of the All-Time Pennsylvania Conference scoring mark,
Trueman returns for his senior year in 1986. Finished the ‘85 season
with 49 points on 10-15 field goal attempts and 19-23 extra point tries.
CHUCK MURRAY - 6-4, 255-defensive tackle
First Team All-Pennsylvania Conference Western Division
The Scots most consistent performer throughout the season on the
defensive line, Murray emerged as an outstanding player by the end of
the ‘85 season. Murray’s stats for the year include: 19 solo tackles, 40
assists for 6th on the squad with 59 stops. Chuck was credited with 1

Prior to the 1926 season, Edinboro was a state normal school and
did not play a complete intercollegiate schedule. Therefore, any
records prior to that season should not be considered as part of the
intercollegiate football history of Edinboro University.

Edinboro’s intercollegiate football history began in 1926 when
Edinboro became a four-year degree granting institution and for the
firsf time played a complete intercollegiate schedule against other
four-year degree granting institutions.

THE PENNSYLVANIA CONFERENCE
HISTORY OF PSAC FOOTBALL
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference is one of the few leagues in the
nation to sponsor a championship game in football. The East vs. West conference
championship game, known as the “State Game,” has been in existence since 1960.
Mythical champions were picked by sportswriters from 1934 until 1950 with the
champion determined by the Saylor system from 1951 until 1959.
All members of the conference (with individual sports exceptions) compete at
the NCAA Division II level and have since 1980. Athletes and teams have won
numerous honors in national competitions over the years and have helped the
PSAC become one of the most respected “small college” conferences in the nation.
