The Edinboro
University football family suf
fered a loss on August 8,
2000 when Hal Galupi passed
away. The 32-year-old Galupi
was a member of the Fighting
Scot football team from 198790.
A native of Baden, PA,
Galupi led Edinboro in passing
his final three seasons, and
still ranks among the leading
passers ever at Edinboro. He
ranks second in career pass
ing yards (5,650), career
attempts (706) and completions (372), and in career touchdown
passes (50).
Galupi led the Fighting Scots to the NCAA Division II Playoffs
in his final two seasons. Under head coach Tom Hollman, Edinboro
went 8-3 in 1989, dropping an exciting 45-32 contest at North
Dakota State in the first round of the playoffs. Galupi completed
122 of 224 passes for 1,911 yards with 22 TDs, the second-highest
season total, and 14 INTs. He then guided Edinboro into the sec
ond round of the Division II playoffs as a senior. The Fighting
Scots posted a 9-3 ledger, tying the record for most wins in a sea
son, with Galupi throwing for 2,097 yards, the second-highest sea
son total. He completed 130 of 253 passes with 17 TDs and 20
INTs.
Galupi holds two of the top five single-game passing records,
both coming in 1990. He threw for 351 yards, the second-highest
total, in a 36-29 loss to Indiana(Pa.). His 299 yards passing
against California(Pa.) represents the fifth-highest game total.
While playing with some of the finest players to ever don the
red and white, such as Elbert Cole and Ernest Priester, Galupi
earned Football Gazette honorable mention All-American honors as
a junior. In addition, he was accorded second team All-PSAC West
honors that same year.
An avid sportsman, Galupi was a 1986 graduate of Ambridge
High School. The son of Harold and Joan Galupi, he was partowner of All-State Development in Munhall, Pa.

ASHLAND
Welcome to week
number three of Edinboro
Football 2000. The first
two weeks didn't exactly
go as first-year coach Lou
Tepper would have liked,
but a victory over local
rival Mercyhurst would
definitely ease the pain.
If ever there were two
teams differing in style, it
could be Edinboro and
Mercyhurst. The Fighting
Scots have struggled to
maintain an effective run
ning game, but you can
bet Tepper would like
nothing better than sever
al time-consuming scoring
drives.
Mercyhurst, on the
other hand, is the Loyola
Marymount of college
football. The Lakers
threw the ball an amazing
72 times in last week's
36-29 loss at Michigan
Tech.
THEeOAeHES
Edinboro head coach Lou Tepper (Rutgers '67) brings an
impressive resume to the position. Renowned as a defensive
genius, Tepper has worked on the staffs of some of the top pro
grams in the country, including Virginia Tech, Colorado and LSD.
But his greatest notoriety came at Illinois, where he coached from
1989-96. The defensive coordinator and later assistant head coach
from 1988-91, Tepper was appointed the Fighting Illini head coach
on December 13, 1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He would go on to guide the Illini to two
more bowl games while posting a 25-33-2 ledger. Along the way,
he coached Illinois to some of their greatest victories while assem
bling a host of outstanding defensive performers. Those included
current NFL standouts Simeon Rice, Kevin Hardy, Henry Jones and
Joel Steed. With Tepper at the helm, Illinois defeated Ohio State
twice in Columbus, and picked up a win and a tie against Michigan
in Ann Arbor.
SOOUTINGTHEIAKERS
Edinboro and Mercyhurst first met in 1982, playing a two-year
home-and-home series. The Fighting Scots swept both contests.
The rivalry was renewed last season, with the Lakers picking up
their first win in the series. (For more on the Edinboro-Mercyhurst
series, see page 48)
BORUBITS
At 0-2, Edinboro is not off to the kind of start Lou Tepper had
hoped for. But he also knew he was facing a very demanding
schedule, particularly at the beginning of the season. There are
few moral victories in football, and in the Fighting Scots' 33-0 loss
at Youngstown State, the defense gave up 418 yards, , but the
defenders actually turned in an inspired effort. Brealdowns on
offense and special teams (namely five turnovers and a blocked
punt), left the defense with its back to the wall most of the night.
But a number of Scots turned in strong showings ... sophomore
inside linebacker Foster Johnson led Edinboro with 12 tackles and a
pair of sacks. He is tied for the team lead with 16 hits, and
returned an interception 69 yards for a touchdown against Ashland
... Sean Keslar, a sophomore outside linebacker, also has 16 stops
after recording 11 with a sack at YSU ... Keldrick Walker, though
just 5'7" and 182 lbs., had a career-high 11 stops off the bench at
inside backer... Tepper was also pleased with the play of freshman
Eugene Grooms. Making his first start at noseguard. Grooms
helped clog the middle against the run ... the offense struggled all
night, managing just 133 yards in total offense. One bright spot
was Bernard Henry, who moved into 15th place in career rushing
with 69 yards on 17 carries. The senior tailback now has 1,152
career yards ... Jack Davis is expected to open at quarterback. The
HENRY CLIMBS CAREER RRSHING CHARTS
Though he's played in just 13 games at Edinboro, senior tailback
Bernard Henry (Wadesboro,NC/VermilionJC] is already I5th in career
rushing with 1,152 yards. His 1,000-yard season in '99 marked
the seventh time in the last eight seasons that a Fighting Scot
ballcarrier topped the century mark. He gained 69 yards against
Youngstown State to move up two spots.

Get ready for a long afternoon of football, one filled with pigskins
in the air. Mercyhurst's games have been known to run longer
than the NFL's Monday Night games, complete with TV timeouts.
It has something to do with throwing the ball at an incredible rate.
Coach Joe Kimball's team has already thrown the ball 122 times in
just two contests, throwing for 771 yards. That's an average of
385.5 yards per game ... overall, the Lakers are averaging 522.0
yards in total offense behind a run and shoot attack directed by
Mac McArdle. The sophomore beat out several contestants for the
starting signalcaller's job in the preseason. He has completed 59
of 118 passes for 754 yards, with 5 TDs and 6 INTs. He threw four
touchdown passes in the opening game win, then completed 36 of
71 passes for 401 yards in last week's final minute loss at Michigan
Tech ... McArdle makes liberal use of senior receivers Justin Siemon
and Ed Bailey. Siemon leads the Lakers with 20 catches for 278
yards after hauling in 15 passes for 184 yards last week. Bailey,
meanwhile, caught 72 balls last year, and has 13 grabs for 228
yards and 2 TDs. He had 6 catches for 137 yards against Wayne
State ... running back-turned-receiver Justin Gibson is also a threat.
Gibson missed most of the 1999 campaign after suffering both
knee and achilles tendon injuries, but is back and now playing a
slot position. He has 8 catches for 64 yards ... when Mercyhurst
goes to the ground, it's usually with Joe Magorien. The 5'7", 175
lb. senior walked-on at Edinboro for one season before transferring
to Mercyhurst. He has 131 yards and 2 TDs on 24 carries ... the
Mercyhurst defense has got caught up in the shoot-out games the
first two weeks, allowing 479.5 yards per game, but as Edinboro
found out last year, it can be a very physical unit. The leading
tackier is Scott Platz, a 230 lb. senior linebacker who has 19 tack
les, including 5 for losses. Next is Ike Morrison, a sophomore
backer, with 18 hits ... the secondary showcases Tom Palmer, a
local product from nearby McDowell High School. Palmer has 13
tackles and an interception, and is an accomplished punt returner.
BAIEBAPTAINS
Unlike previous seasons where captains were either appointed or
selected, the Fighting Scots will have game captains in 2000.
Today's captains are:
That represents the longest losing skein since the 1954 team lost
six games in a row. Edinboro has not dropped seven straight con
tests since the 1948-49 seasons.
NEXT WEEK
It's time to start PSAC action, and the Fighting Scots will face one
of the best the PSAC has to offer in their first contest. Edinboro
plays at Slippery Rock in a 2:00 p.m. kickoff. The Rockets have
won the PSAC West crown each of the last three years.

ATIHIG FUND DRIVE
Dear Friends of the Fighting Scots:
I would like to once again personally thank
those of you who supported our Second Annual
Athletic Fund Drive this past year. The Athietic
Fund grew from over 200 members during our
initial drive to close to 300 members in year
number two. We hope to achieve similar growth
in our Edinboro Family this coming campaign.
Entering my third full year as Athletic
Director, I welcome the challenge of leading
Edinboro University's athletic program in the new
century. We are coming off a very successful
1999-2000 athletic season, but we will always
strive to be a pacesetter, and not a follower.
With that in mind, we are once again reaching
out to the entire Edinboro community to help
support our athletic program. We realize that
our success lies directly with the continuous
support of our campus community, alumni and
friends.
A year ago, our Annual Fund emphasized
athletic endowments, and towards that goal, we
established seven new endowed schoTarsnips.
This year, if you desire, you are invited to con
tribute in the form of Gifts-in-Kind, Securities,
Trusts and Bequests.
Once again, with no state appropriations for
athletic scholarships, we depend on fund raising
events such as the Annual Athletic Fund Drive to
supplement our athletic programs. Our summer
camp season continues to be the main source of
our financial development, but we cannot main
tain our level of excellence without your support.
Although still funded well below the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) allowable
limit, our athletic scholarship program attempts
to create the best educational and athletic oppor
tunities for our student-athletes.
At Edinboro University, we are quite proud
of our past successes and rich tradition, but we
cannot bask upon past accomplishments while
our sister-institutions pass us by in the world of
athletic fund raising.
Once again, we look forward to hearing
from you soon. Please feel free to contact my
office with any questions about our fund drive. I
entertain any recommendations or suggestions
which would better our University and its athlet
ic department.
Sincerely,
Sc

FIGHTING SCOT BOOSTER
CLUB’S MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Organized nearly two decades ago, the Fighting Scot Booster Club’s primary mission
is to provide financial support for the athletic program while promoting community aware
ness and involvement in the University.
Each spring, members of the Fighting Scot Booster Club will conduct a national and
community-wide fund raising campaign to support the cost of athletic operating expenses.
While student activity fees cover a portion of operating expenses, private funding is crucial
in maintaining the level of excellence the Fighting Scot programs have enjoyed in recent

years.
Your membership affords Edinboro University and its athfetic program the opportunity

to offer a quality athletic and academic experience to its student-athletes. State appropri
ations are not allotted for scholarships, making the Booster Club and the departmental fund
raising efforts the sole means of raising money for the athletic scholarships.

HEM COACH
lounppn
Veteran Division I mentor Lou
Tepper was appointed the 12th
head football coach at Edinboro
University in late December, official
ly taking charge of the Fighting
Scot program on January 5.
Tepper inherits an Edinboro
program which has won just eleven
games over the last three seasons,
including a 3-8 finish this past year.
That marked the fewest wins since
the 1987 campaign, and the three
consecutive losing seasons were
the first since 1977-79.
BACKGROUND
Tepper, a native of Keystone,
PA, returns to the Division II level after coaching at Division I insti
tutions 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 defensive
standouts include Bruce Smith, John Holecek, Simeon Rice, Kevin
'We had an outstanding pool of can
didates to choose from, but Lou's
integrity, coaching background and
national notoriety stood out above
the rest We feel Edinboro provides
the opportunity to be one of the top
programs in the PSAC, and look at
Lou Tepper as the coach to restore
our program to that level."

standouts.
In addition,
he has
worked with
some of the
top head
coaches in
the country,
inciuding Bill
Dooley at
Virginia Tech,
Bill
McCartney at
John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry DiNardo at LSU.
"Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it will be neat to be a
head coach again and to be a head coach in that environment,"
Tepper related. "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 coor
dinator at Louisiana State University last year. 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 18 of his 32 years in the coaching
profession.
BIG TEN HEAD COACH
The 54-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 Illini head coach, Tepper
compiled a record of 25-31-2, including two more bowl appear
ances. He guided Illinois to a pair of wins over Ohio State, includ
ing one at Columbus; the school's first victory in Ann Arbor against
HEM COACH
Michigan in 27 years; and three consecutive wins over rival Iowa
by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive, Tepper gradu
ated 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.
He was honored as the Big Ten's top defensive assistant coach
in 1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annually ranked
among 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, 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 in
Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to post
season play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewashing in
the Libet^ Bowl. The '94 squad finished 7-5, again upsetting one
of the elite in the Big Ten. And once again it was on thq 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 designation as well during
Tepper's tenure. He produced consecutive Butkus Award winners
in Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along
the way, he also produced Big

posted the school's best record in thirty years. He was the assis

VIRGINIA TECH
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill Dooley hired Tepper as
his linebackers coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into a con
sistent bowl contender with a defense that annually ranked among
the nation's top ten. 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 in the Peach
Bowl.
COLORADO
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at Colorado in 1983, serv
ing as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach until
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped turn around a
Buffaloes 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
assistant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

Pac-10 champ UCLA had the ninth-best defense. It’s
such a unique situation, even conference coaches are
worried about the implications from the declining

those teams had phenomenal offenses
and were able to overcome it.”
So what exactly is going on here?
Are the defenses getting worse? Are
offenses so sophisticated in the Pac-10
that they can’t be stopped? Or is this just
a temporary trend that will go away this
season? And just how important are
stats anyway?

It doesn’t necessarily mean that the defenses were worse, however.
But if you look at the bigger picture, Pac-10 teams are spending more
time than ever trying to defend three and four vride receiver formations
that aren’t quite as common outside the conference.

Gone are the days when Arizona relied on its Desert Swarm defense

'■^cord-setting running back, Ricky
Williams.
Williams, who attracted more
attention before the season for his
dreadlocked hairstyle, tattoos and body
piercings than he did for his on-field
performances, broke Tony Dorsett’s
NCAA career rushing record with an
amazing senior season that included
2,124 yards and 27 touchdowns. In
the process, he diverted the country’s
attention away from one of the finest
collections of quarterbacks in recent
memory.
After surprising many by return
ing to Texas for his senior season.
Williams went right to work once
the ’98 season started, gaining 215
yards and scoring six times in UT’s
opener against New Mexico State.
Three weeks later, he hammered Rice
for 318 yards and six more TDs,
then blitzed Iowa State for 350 yards
and five scores. By that point, the Heis
man was just about his. The only
drama was whether he would catch
Dorsett. He did, setting the record
against archrival Texas A&M with a
259-yard performance.
Williams’ whopping 1,563-vote
margin of victory was made even
more impressive by the NFL’s decision
to make four of the five mnners-up firstround draft choices. The only one
who didn’t go that early was secondplace finisher Michael Bishop of
Kansas State, an all-purpose wizard
who led the Wildcats to an undefeat
ed regular season and the cusp of the
national title game.
There was an impressive line of can
didates after Bishop. Third place went
to UCLA’s Cade McNown, who threw
for 3,130 yards and 23 touchdowns to
lead the Bruins to the Pac-10 title.
All fourth-place finisher Tim Couch did
was set seven NCAA records, 14
Southeastern Conference marks and
26 Kentucky standards. Cleveland
then made him the first overall pick in
the 1999 draft.
Right behind Couch in the hearts
ofi^he professionals was Syracuse’s
Donovan McNabb, drafted second by
the Eagles, following a season in
which he threw for 2,134 yards and 22
touchdowns and ran for 438 yards and
eight more scores. The final quarter
back in the group, Daunte Culpepper
completed his sterling career at Cen
tral Rorida by shattering Steve Young’s
NCAA single-season completion per
centage record (73.6%) in a season dur
ing which he threw for 3,690 yards and
28 touchdowns.

ince 1935, the Heisman Tro

in his own right. However, certain
Heisman winners revolutionized
the approach to the game of college
S
football with his special skills.
Heisman Trophy winners seem
to go in cycles. For a time, quar
terbacks were all the rage; then it was
running backs. Earl Campbell came
along as the fifth in a long line
(eleven) of consecutive Heisman
runners. But no one was quite like
him in 1977. Tony Dorsett, the
1976 winner, was shifty and com
pact (5-11,188-pounds). Billy Sims,
the 1978 winner, was only a little big
ger (6-0,205). Campbell was what
coaches admiringly call “a full load.”
He stood the same height as Dorsett,
but was 25 pounds heavier than
Sims. He was quick. He was fast.
And he was utterly fearless. He
was the first of the “pounders”—
backs who just kept hammering

When Earl Campbell left Tyler, Texas, to
matriculate at the University of Texas in
Austin in the fall of 1974, he had dreams. One
could say that most of those dreams came true.
The 19-year-old, first-year student-athlete
wrote in a composition that “before I leave
Austin, I want to gain two-thousand yards in
a season, win the Heisman Trophy, be on a
national championship team, and help us
win the Southwest Conference championship
the next three seasons. Then I want to turn
pro and sign for enough money to buy Mama
a new house.”
After leaving UT, he had a firm grasp on
two of those goals and just narrowly missed
two others. The powerful running back won
the Heisman and, as the overall No. I choice
in the NFL draft, signed a contract with the
Houston Oilers that allowed him to build his
mama Ann a new brick house on the small farm
on which he had grown up—with ten broth
ers and sisters—a few miles outside of Tyler.
During the Heisman season, Campbell gained
only 1,774 yards, but did lead the nation. In
the 1978 Cotton Bowl, a game that pitted the
Southwest Conference champion Longhorns
against the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame for
the national title, the ‘Horns were upset.
Life wasn’t easy for young Earl. Tyler,
located in East Texas, is noted for the color.ful and beautiful roses grown there. Earl’s
ifather, B. C., was an expert rose grower; the

“They used to say it about us [defensive
linemen],” Southern California senior defen
sive tackle Ennis Davis, an All-America
candidate, said of the idea that most defen
sive linemen (the big and burly) can’t run.
"We aU can run. A lot of our work is on the
line of scrimmage, but if they get by us,
we’re going to chase them down.
"We’re all over the place. We’re active.”
COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Imagine being a quarterback and being
the last line of defense after Davis picked
off one of your passes. Not a pretty sight.
“Size and speed, that’s what you look
for,” use defensive line coach Ed
Orgeron said. “If you look at a guy like
r

Ennis, he’s 6-4 and 300-pounds, so he’s
got the size, but he can run. Those guys
are hard to find.”
Orgeron should know. Before joining Paul Hackett’s
staff in Pasadena, he coached the likes of Warren Sapp,
Cortez Kermedy and Russell Maryland at Miami. And he
says that Davis can be that good.
But unlike most schools, where quarterbacks or line
backers take center stage, at Southern Cal, it’s the defen
sive linemen who get the attention these days.
“We look at them as the premier players in our
defense,” said Orgeron.
“You’ve got to like the physicalness of the game,”
“You connect with one of your players and you look into
his eyes and you just know it. ’That’s just a great feeling.”
TTiat’s the glory for these guys, when they get a
chance to make a hit. “We get double-teamed, tripleteamed, chop blocked, cut blocked, you name it, and we
get it, Bryant said. “The ball snaps and your reaction
time better be quick because as soon as you get a chance
it can be gone.”

get an opening, all I’m thinking is to run through him and
show your strength and ability in the game. The sacks

And that’s what it’s all about. Defensive linemen have
to know what to do, and have to react to it quicker than
any defensive player on the field. Which can be a lot to ask
for a player of that size who’s out on the field for nearly

The Edinboro
University football family suf
fered a loss on August 8,
2000 when Hal Galupi passed
away. The 32-year-old Galupi
was a member of the Fighting
Scot football team from 198790.
A native of Baden, PA,
Galupi led Edinboro in passing
his final three seasons, and
still ranks among the leading
passers ever at Edinboro. He
ranks second in career pass
ing yards (5,650), career
attempts (706) and completions (372), and in career touchdown
passes (50).
Galupi led the Fighting Scots to the NCAA Division II Playoffs
in his final two seasons. Under head coach Tom Hollman, Edinboro
went 8-3 in 1989, dropping an exciting 45-32 contest at North
Dakota State in the first round of the playoffs. Galupi completed
122 of 224 passes for 1,911 yards with 22 TDs, the second-highest
season total, and 14 INTs. He then guided Edinboro into the sec
ond round of the Division II playoffs as a senior. The Fighting
Scots posted a 9-3 ledger, tying the record for most wins in a sea
son, with Galupi throwing for 2,097 yards, the second-highest sea
son total. He completed 130 of 253 passes with 17 TDs and 20
INTs.
Galupi holds two of the top five single-game passing records,
both coming in 1990. He threw for 351 yards, the second-highest
total, in a 36-29 loss to Indiana(Pa.). His 299 yards passing
against California(Pa.) represents the fifth-highest game total.
While playing with some of the finest players to ever don the
red and white, such as Elbert Cole and Ernest Priester, Galupi
earned Football Gazette honorable mention All-American honors as
a junior. In addition, he was accorded second team All-PSAC West
honors that same year.
An avid sportsman, Galupi was a 1986 graduate of Ambridge
High School. The son of Harold and Joan Galupi, he was partowner of All-State Development in Munhall, Pa.

Welcome to week
number three of Edinboro
Football 2000. The first
two weeks didn't exactly
go as first-year coach Lou
Tepper would have liked,
but a victory over local
rival Mercyhurst would
definitely ease the pain.
If ever there were two
teams differing in style, it
could be Edinboro and
Mercyhurst. The Fighting
Scots have struggled to
maintain an effective run
ning game, but you can
bet Tepper would like
nothing better than sever
al time-consuming scoring
drives.
Mercyhurst, on the
other hand, is the Loyola
Marymount of college
football. The Lakers
threw the ball an amazing
72 times in last week's
36-29 loss at Michigan
Tech.
THEeOAeHES
Edinboro head coach Lou Tepper (Rutgers '67) brings an
impressive resume to the position. Renowned as a defensive
genius, Tepper has worked on the staffs of some of the top pro
grams in the country, including Virginia Tech, Colorado and LSD.
But his greatest notoriety came at Illinois, where he coached from
1989-96. The defensive coordinator and later assistant head coach
from 1988-91, Tepper was appointed the Fighting Illini head coach
on December 13, 1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He would go on to guide the Illini to two
more bowl games while posting a 25-33-2 ledger. Along the way,
he coached Illinois to some of their greatest victories while assem
bling a host of outstanding defensive performers. Those included
current NFL standouts Simeon Rice, Kevin Hardy, Henry Jones and
Joel Steed. With Tepper at the helm, Illinois defeated Ohio State
twice in Columbus, and picked up a win and a tie against Michigan
in Ann Arbor.
SOOUTINGTHEIAKERS
Edinboro and Mercyhurst first met in 1982, playing a two-year
home-and-home series. The Fighting Scots swept both contests.
The rivalry was renewed last season, with the Lakers picking up
their first win in the series. (For more on the Edinboro-Mercyhurst
series, see page 48)
BORUBITS
At 0-2, Edinboro is not off to the kind of start Lou Tepper had
hoped for. But he also knew he was facing a very demanding
schedule, particularly at the beginning of the season. There are
few moral victories in football, and in the Fighting Scots' 33-0 loss
at Youngstown State, the defense gave up 418 yards, , but the
defenders actually turned in an inspired effort. Brealdowns on
offense and special teams (namely five turnovers and a blocked
punt), left the defense with its back to the wall most of the night.
But a number of Scots turned in strong showings ... sophomore
inside linebacker Foster Johnson led Edinboro with 12 tackles and a
pair of sacks. He is tied for the team lead with 16 hits, and
returned an interception 69 yards for a touchdown against Ashland
... Sean Keslar, a sophomore outside linebacker, also has 16 stops
after recording 11 with a sack at YSU ... Keldrick Walker, though
just 5'7" and 182 lbs., had a career-high 11 stops off the bench at
inside backer... Tepper was also pleased with the play of freshman
Eugene Grooms. Making his first start at noseguard. Grooms
helped clog the middle against the run ... the offense struggled all
night, managing just 133 yards in total offense. One bright spot
was Bernard Henry, who moved into 15th place in career rushing
with 69 yards on 17 carries. The senior tailback now has 1,152
career yards ... Jack Davis is expected to open at quarterback. The
HENRY CLIMBS CAREER RRSHING CHARTS
Though he's played in just 13 games at Edinboro, senior tailback
Bernard Henry (Wadesboro,NC/VermilionJC] is already I5th in career
rushing with 1,152 yards. His 1,000-yard season in '99 marked
the seventh time in the last eight seasons that a Fighting Scot
ballcarrier topped the century mark. He gained 69 yards against
Youngstown State to move up two spots.

Get ready for a long afternoon of football, one filled with pigskins
in the air. Mercyhurst's games have been known to run longer
than the NFL's Monday Night games, complete with TV timeouts.
It has something to do with throwing the ball at an incredible rate.
Coach Joe Kimball's team has already thrown the ball 122 times in
just two contests, throwing for 771 yards. That's an average of
385.5 yards per game ... overall, the Lakers are averaging 522.0
yards in total offense behind a run and shoot attack directed by
Mac McArdle. The sophomore beat out several contestants for the
starting signalcaller's job in the preseason. He has completed 59
of 118 passes for 754 yards, with 5 TDs and 6 INTs. He threw four
touchdown passes in the opening game win, then completed 36 of
71 passes for 401 yards in last week's final minute loss at Michigan
Tech ... McArdle makes liberal use of senior receivers Justin Siemon
and Ed Bailey. Siemon leads the Lakers with 20 catches for 278
yards after hauling in 15 passes for 184 yards last week. Bailey,
meanwhile, caught 72 balls last year, and has 13 grabs for 228
yards and 2 TDs. He had 6 catches for 137 yards against Wayne
State ... running back-turned-receiver Justin Gibson is also a threat.
Gibson missed most of the 1999 campaign after suffering both
knee and achilles tendon injuries, but is back and now playing a
slot position. He has 8 catches for 64 yards ... when Mercyhurst
goes to the ground, it's usually with Joe Magorien. The 5'7", 175
lb. senior walked-on at Edinboro for one season before transferring
to Mercyhurst. He has 131 yards and 2 TDs on 24 carries ... the
Mercyhurst defense has got caught up in the shoot-out games the
first two weeks, allowing 479.5 yards per game, but as Edinboro
found out last year, it can be a very physical unit. The leading
tackier is Scott Platz, a 230 lb. senior linebacker who has 19 tack
les, including 5 for losses. Next is Ike Morrison, a sophomore
backer, with 18 hits ... the secondary showcases Tom Palmer, a
local product from nearby McDowell High School. Palmer has 13
tackles and an interception, and is an accomplished punt returner.
BAIEBAPTAINS
Unlike previous seasons where captains were either appointed or
selected, the Fighting Scots will have game captains in 2000.
Today's captains are:
That represents the longest losing skein since the 1954 team lost
six games in a row. Edinboro has not dropped seven straight con
tests since the 1948-49 seasons.
NEXT WEEK
It's time to start PSAC action, and the Fighting Scots will face one
of the best the PSAC has to offer in their first contest. Edinboro
plays at Slippery Rock in a 2:00 p.m. kickoff. The Rockets have
won the PSAC West crown each of the last three years.

ATIHIG FUND DRIVE
Dear Friends of the Fighting Scots:
I would like to once again personally thank
those of you who supported our Second Annual
Athletic Fund Drive this past year. The Athietic
Fund grew from over 200 members during our
initial drive to close to 300 members in year
number two. We hope to achieve similar growth
in our Edinboro Family this coming campaign.
Entering my third full year as Athletic
Director, I welcome the challenge of leading
Edinboro University's athletic program in the new
century. We are coming off a very successful
1999-2000 athletic season, but we will always
strive to be a pacesetter, and not a follower.
With that in mind, we are once again reaching
out to the entire Edinboro community to help
support our athletic program. We realize that
our success lies directly with the continuous
support of our campus community, alumni and
friends.
A year ago, our Annual Fund emphasized
athletic endowments, and towards that goal, we
established seven new endowed schoTarsnips.
This year, if you desire, you are invited to con
tribute in the form of Gifts-in-Kind, Securities,
Trusts and Bequests.
Once again, with no state appropriations for
athletic scholarships, we depend on fund raising
events such as the Annual Athletic Fund Drive to
supplement our athletic programs. Our summer
camp season continues to be the main source of
our financial development, but we cannot main
tain our level of excellence without your support.
Although still funded well below the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) allowable
limit, our athletic scholarship program attempts
to create the best educational and athletic oppor
tunities for our student-athletes.
At Edinboro University, we are quite proud
of our past successes and rich tradition, but we
cannot bask upon past accomplishments while
our sister-institutions pass us by in the world of
athletic fund raising.
Once again, we look forward to hearing
from you soon. Please feel free to contact my
office with any questions about our fund drive. I
entertain any recommendations or suggestions
which would better our University and its athlet
ic department.

FIGHTING SCOT BOOSTER
CLUB’S MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Organized nearly two decades ago, the Fighting Scot Booster Club’s primary mission
is to provide financial support for the athletic program while promoting community aware
ness and involvement in the University.
Each spring, members of the Fighting Scot Booster Club will conduct a national and
community-wide fund raising campaign to support the cost of athletic operating expenses.
While student activity fees cover a portion of operating expenses, private funding is crucial
in maintaining the level of excellence the Fighting Scot programs have enjoyed in recent

to offer a quality athletic and academic experience to its student-athletes. State appropri
ations are not allotted for scholarships, making the Booster Club and the departmental fund
raising efforts the sole means of raising money for the athletic scholarships.

HEM COACH
lounppn
Veteran Division I mentor Lou
Tepper was appointed the 12th
head football coach at Edinboro
University in late December, official
ly taking charge of the Fighting
Scot program on January 5.
Tepper inherits an Edinboro
program which has won just eleven
games over the last three seasons,
including a 3-8 finish this past year.
That marked the fewest wins since
the 1987 campaign, and the three
consecutive losing seasons were
the first since 1977-79.
BACKGROUND
Tepper, a native of Keystone,
PA, returns to the Division II level after coaching at Division I insti
tutions 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 defensive
standouts include Bruce Smith, John Holecek, Simeon Rice, Kevin
'We had an outstanding pool of can
didates to choose from, but Lou's
integrity, coaching background and
national notoriety stood out above
the rest We feel Edinboro provides
the opportunity to be one of the top
programs in the PSAC, and look at
Lou Tepper as the coach to restore
our program to that level."
Dr. Frank Pogue Jr.
President, Edinboro
University

standouts.
In addition,
he has
worked with
some of the
top head
coaches in
the country,
inciuding Bill
Dooley at
Virginia Tech,
Bill
McCartney at
John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry DiNardo at LSU.
"Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it will be neat to be a
head coach again and to be a head coach in that environment,"
Tepper related. "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 coor
dinator at Louisiana State University last year. 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 18 of his 32 years in the coaching
profession.
BIG TEN HEAD COACH
The 54-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 Illini head coach, Tepper
compiled a record of 25-31-2, including two more bowl appear
ances. He guided Illinois to a pair of wins over Ohio State, includ
ing one at Columbus; the school's first victory in Ann Arbor against
HEM COACH
Michigan in 27 years; and three consecutive wins over rival Iowa
by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive, Tepper gradu
ated 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.
He was honored as the Big Ten's top defensive assistant coach
in 1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annually ranked
among 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, 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 in
Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to post
season play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewashing in
the Libet^ Bowl. The '94 squad finished 7-5, again upsetting one
of the elite in the Big Ten. And once again it was on thq 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 designation as well during
Tepper's tenure. He produced consecutive Butkus Award winners
in Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along
the way, he also produced Big

joined former New Hampshire head coach Jim Root as the defen
sive coordinator from 1972-77. The 1976 William &. Mary squad
posted the school's best record in thirty years. He was the assis
tant head coach his final year at William & Mary.
VIRGINIA TECH
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill Dooley hired Tepper as
his linebackers coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into a con
sistent bowl contender with a defense that annually ranked among
the nation's top ten. 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 in the Peach
Bowl.
COLORADO
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at Colorado in 1983, serv
ing as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach until
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped turn around a
Buffaloes 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
assistant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

268 yards per game. His 1995 defensive
unit produced a first team AFCA AllAmerican at linebacker, and helped the Sea
Gulls finish 7-2 with a berth in the ECAC
Southwest Championship Game.
Bradford graduated from Salisbury
State in 1990 with a Bachelor's Degree in

So what exactly is going on here?

a temporary trend that will go away this

allow a defense to turn the tables.
“It’s tougher than just giving an offense a vanilla rush and coverage,”
Andrews said. “You throw people in at different angles and have guys
dropping in at different angles. Like I said, you’re trying to create an execu
tion problem for the offense.

Ibxas, Longhorns quarterback Major Applewhite
threw for 213 yards, and the team ran for 62 in a 2420 win. Then, in the Big 12 championship game,
Applewhite threw for 172, and the team ran for only

six yards as the Huskers posted a 22-6 win and shut out
the Longhorns offense.
I
Vanden Bosch says that in the first game, it seemed as if the Nebraska
I
defense was a step too slow. In the second game, defensive coordinator Craig
I
Bohl used more zone blitzes, and the Huskers wreaked havoc on Ibxas.
"When we went back to the film after the game, coach decided to caU the
“Our biggest thing in the 4-3 is that it really makes the quarterback
stay on his toes,” Vanden Bosch, an Academic All-American and AUAmerica candidate said. “It opens up a lot of things.
'A lot of times, since I play rush end, we’ll send in a linebacker or a
safety, and I’ll drop into pass coverage. Of course, you always want to be in
on the action, but if our guys get to the quarterback quick, it gives us the
chance to do some things.”
And that’s where things get interesting.
Last year, when Florida State played Virginia, the Seminoles had
[
knocked out Cavaliers starter Dan Ellis, and junior David Rivers saw his
first extensive action of the season. Andrews called a blitz in the third
!
zone blitz more, Vanden Bosch said. He (Applewhite) was on his back the
I ^ whole game. You could tell he wasn’t comfortable in the pocket. I love that. ’The
quarter and, under pressure. Rivers threw an interception, with FSU’s 290pound Corey Simons, a lineman, the beneficiary. Prior to that, FSU led 14-
II zone blitz can do a lot of damage. If you hit them (the quarterback) early, it’s
S always in the back of their mind...the whole game."
I
The zone blitz is on a lot of minds these days. When you talk defense, it
g seems to be the in thing. It started in the NFL, with coaches like the Jaguars’
o Dom Capers making it famous, and the Tampa Bucs’ Monte Kiffin using it to

I
10, but the touchdown opened up a game that they eventually won 35-10.
Andrews still chuckles when he thinks about Simons coming off the
field with the ball.
“Very seldom do you see a nose guard dropping into and playing pass
defense,” Andrews said. “What he did was draw the block of a lineman.

winner, Texas’
'■^cord-setting running back, Ricky
Williams.
Williams, who attracted more
attention before the season for his
dreadlocked hairstyle, tattoos and body
piercings than he did for his on-field
performances, broke Tony Dorsett’s
NCAA career rushing record with an
amazing senior season that included
2,124 yards and 27 touchdowns. In
the process, he diverted the country’s
attention away from one of the finest
collections of quarterbacks in recent
memory.
After surprising many by return
ing to Texas for his senior season.
Williams went right to work once
the ’98 season started, gaining 215
yards and scoring six times in UT’s
opener against New Mexico State.
Three weeks later, he hammered Rice
for 318 yards and six more TDs,
then blitzed Iowa State for 350 yards
and five scores. By that point, the Heis
man was just about his. The only
drama was whether he would catch
Dorsett. He did, setting the record
against archrival Texas A&M with a
259-yard performance.
Williams’ whopping 1,563-vote
margin of victory was made even
more impressive by the NFL’s decision
to make four of the five mnners-up firstround draft choices. The only one
who didn’t go that early was secondplace finisher Michael Bishop of
Kansas State, an all-purpose wizard
who led the Wildcats to an undefeat
ed regular season and the cusp of the
national title game.
There was an impressive line of can
didates after Bishop. Third place went
to UCLA’s Cade McNown, who threw
for 3,130 yards and 23 touchdowns to
lead the Bruins to the Pac-10 title.
All fourth-place finisher Tim Couch did
was set seven NCAA records, 14
Southeastern Conference marks and
26 Kentucky standards. Cleveland
then made him the first overall pick in
the 1999 draft.
Right behind Couch in the hearts
ofi^he professionals was Syracuse’s
Donovan McNabb, drafted second by
the Eagles, following a season in
which he threw for 2,134 yards and 22
touchdowns and ran for 438 yards and
eight more scores. The final quarter
back in the group, Daunte Culpepper
completed his sterling career at Cen
tral Rorida by shattering Steve Young’s
NCAA single-season completion per
centage record (73.6%) in a season dur
ing which he threw for 3,690 yards and
28 touchdowns.
Maybe it was the Year of the Quar
terback. But it was Ricky Williams’

ince 1935, the Heisman Tro

excellence. Arguably the most

man. Each award winner is a legend
in his own right. However, certain
Heisman winners revolutionized
the approach to the game of college
S
football with his special skills.
Heisman Trophy winners seem
to go in cycles. For a time, quar
terbacks were all the rage; then it was
running backs. Earl Campbell came
along as the fifth in a long line
(eleven) of consecutive Heisman
runners. But no one was quite like
him in 1977. Tony Dorsett, the
1976 winner, was shifty and com
pact (5-11,188-pounds). Billy Sims,
the 1978 winner, was only a little big
ger (6-0,205). Campbell was what
coaches admiringly call “a full load.”
He stood the same height as Dorsett,
but was 25 pounds heavier than
Sims. He was quick. He was fast.
And he was utterly fearless. He
was the first of the “pounders”—
backs who just kept hammering
away at the opposition. He was

son (1985) and Dayne.
When Earl Campbell left Tyler, Texas, to
matriculate at the University of Texas in
Austin in the fall of 1974, he had dreams. One
could say that most of those dreams came true.
The 19-year-old, first-year student-athlete
wrote in a composition that “before I leave
Austin, I want to gain two-thousand yards in
a season, win the Heisman Trophy, be on a
national championship team, and help us
win the Southwest Conference championship
the next three seasons. Then I want to turn
pro and sign for enough money to buy Mama
a new house.”
After leaving UT, he had a firm grasp on
two of those goals and just narrowly missed
two others. The powerful running back won
the Heisman and, as the overall No. I choice
in the NFL draft, signed a contract with the
Houston Oilers that allowed him to build his
mama Ann a new brick house on the small farm
on which he had grown up—with ten broth
ers and sisters—a few miles outside of Tyler.
During the Heisman season, Campbell gained
only 1,774 yards, but did lead the nation. In
the 1978 Cotton Bowl, a game that pitted the
Southwest Conference champion Longhorns
against the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame for
the national title, the ‘Horns were upset.
Life wasn’t easy for young Earl. Tyler,
located in East Texas, is noted for the color.ful and beautiful roses grown there. Earl’s
ifather, B. C., was an expert rose grower; the
; family had inherited a 14-acre farm from
Earl’s mother’s family. But B.C. died when

together. Earl began running with an older at a banquet at the New York Club. In 1977,

once eversaw the growth of
Miami’s defensive linemen,
including Warren Sapp, Russell
Maryland and Cortez Kennedy.
“They used to say it about us [defensive
linemen],” Southern California senior defen
sive tackle Ennis Davis, an All-America
candidate, said of the idea that most defen
sive linemen (the big and burly) can’t run.
"We aU can run. A lot of our work is on the
line of scrimmage, but if they get by us,
we’re going to chase them down.
"We’re all over the place. We’re active.”
COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Imagine being a quarterback and being
the last line of defense after Davis picked
off one of your passes. Not a pretty sight.
“Size and speed, that’s what you look
for,” use defensive line coach Ed
Orgeron said. “If you look at a guy like
r

Ennis, he’s 6-4 and 300-pounds, so he’s
got the size, but he can run. Those guys
are hard to find.”
Orgeron should know. Before joining Paul Hackett’s
staff in Pasadena, he coached the likes of Warren Sapp,
Cortez Kermedy and Russell Maryland at Miami. And he
says that Davis can be that good.
But unlike most schools, where quarterbacks or line
backers take center stage, at Southern Cal, it’s the defen
sive linemen who get the attention these days.
“We look at them as the premier players in our
defense,” said Orgeron.
“You’ve got to like the physicalness of the game,”
“You connect with one of your players and you look into
his eyes and you just know it. ’That’s just a great feeling.”
TTiat’s the glory for these guys, when they get a
chance to make a hit. “We get double-teamed, tripleteamed, chop blocked, cut blocked, you name it, and we
