grabbed 22 balls for 481 yards and five scores. Other receivers
include Corey Keyes (3, 42,1 TD), Terry Roberts (5, 68) and tight
ends Todd Henne (7,57) and John Sabo (4,33,1 TD). While Chris
Snyder (9, 65, 2 TD) and Saul Harrison (12,47,1 TD) split time at
fullback, center Det Betti, guards Chad Wallick and Chris Barney
and tackles Tom Lavis and Jeremy O'Day clear the way up front.
The Red Raiders got a boost with the return of quarterback
Michael Carver against lUP. Missing a game due to injury. Carv­
er returned to drill the Big Indians for 240 yards and a score on
16 of 28 passing. For the year in four games, he has connected on
35 of 79 for 524 yards and three touchdowns. A trio of quality
receivers include Michael Buglia (9, 228, 1 TD, 25.3 YPC), Tom
Coleman (14,186, 2 TDs) and Shawn Gamer (11,152,1 TD). The
running attack is well balanced with Seth Holderman (58, 152)
and Brandon Overdorff (25,93) handling the bulk of the load.

The Defenses

The Series

The Scots have been solid the past two weeks, recovering
well after the shocker at Mansfield. Leading the hit parade con­
tinues to be linebackers Michael Sims (48 tackles, 3 for loss, 1
break up), Michael Edwards (40, 2 for loss, 1 interception) and
Rahshahn Alston (33,1INT). Rashadeen Byrd (6) has been seeing
more time as of late as well.
Up front, look for tackles A1 Bass (12, 1 INT), Matt Gentile
(15, 4 for loss, 2 sacks) and Rich Jones (9, 1 recovery) to rotate
while ends Pat Schuster (20, team high 5 sacks, 1 recovery) and
Bryan Lambert (27, 3 sacks) have been very steady in '94. The
defensive secondary welcomed back All-American safety Steve
Russell at Lock Haven, after the Scot senior had missed the first
three games this year with an ankle injury. The Pittsburgh native
responded with eight tackles and one interception in the victory.
Russell is Edinboro's all-time leader with 15 picks. Other backfield mates include cornerbacks Marty Williams (19, 3 deflec­
tions) and Keith Cushenberry (14, 2 break ups) and safeties Rick
Walker (21) and Ron Allen (22,3 deflections).
Shipp, traditionally one of the best defenses in the PSAC,
will be a major test for the Boro's offensive front. Highlighting a
very good group are linebackers Martin Pepe (70, 3 for loss) and
Chris Willingham (69, 3 sacks). The secondary features All-PSAC
strong safety Doug Seidenstricker (55, PSAC high 5 intercep­
tions) and free safety Chris Bickel (47, 5 break ups). The interior
is also solid with tackle Mike Massey (32,4 for loss, 2 sacks).

The Scots are on the short end of the all-time series, with the
Red Raiders holding a 17-15-1 margin. Edinboro owns the
advantage lately, taking five of the last six outings including a 3417 decision last season. Previous to '93, the two clubs traded
bruises with the Shipp dominating in '91, 45-7, and the Scots
returning the favor in '92, 47-3. Including the '82 season, the
Scots have won 10 of 12.

The Coaches
Edinboro's Tom Hollman enjoys a 5-1 mark against the Red
Raiders with his lone blemish the loss three years ago. The Scots'
seven-year mentor owns an impressive 48-20-2 (.700%) slate
including a 28-7-2 (.784%) mark in the rugged Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference Western Division. The 1989 Kodak East
Region and PSAC Coach of the Year has led the Boro to four
NCAA II playoff appearances. His 11-year overall mark of 72-313 (.693) ranks in the top 12 among active small college coaches.
Shipp answers with Rocky Rees, currently 26-24-1 in his fifth
year directing the Red Raiders.His overall college record of nine
years is 62-39-2. In 1991, he led Shipp to the NCAA II quarterfi­
nals and was named PSAC Coach of the Year.

The Offenses

Kicking Game/Specialties

Edinboro boasts three of the conference's most potent
weapons in running back Larry Jackson, quarterback Jody Dick­
erson and wideout Lateef Walters.
Jackson, coming off a PSAC West Offensive Player of the
Week, 172-yard effort versus Lock Haven, currently leads the
NCAA II in rushing yards per game (181.6) and all-purpose
yardage (258.8). He has netted 727 yards on 123 carries (5.9) and
five scores. He needs 96 yards this week to eclipse A1 Raines
(3,399, 1969-71) atop Edinboro's all-time rushing charts. Jackson
enters Saturday third, with 3,304 yards, still 38 yards behind
Elbert Cole who stands second with 3,341.
Dickerson, currently the top rated passer in the PSAC, con­
tinues to rewrite the Boro's all-time record book, ranking first in
touchdown passes (53), yardage (6,275) and completions (419).
Through four games this year, he has connected on 57 of 92 pass­
es (.62%) for 849 yards and eight scores. His prime target contin­
ues to be Walters, who leads the PSAC in yards per game
receiving (120.3) and is second in catches per game (6.3). He has

Edinboro relies on veteran place-kicker Scott Rupert (3-3 EG,
7th in PSAC at .8 per game and 11-14 in PATs) and freshman
punter Eric Wagner (11, 32.0) who has improved each game in
'94. Return specialists for the Boro include Jackson (21.0 on kick­
offs) and Walters (5.6 on punts).
Shipp looks to All-Conference performer Joel Yohn (5-8 EG,
7-7 PAT) and Eric Dauberman (37.0 YPP, 7th PSAC) to handle its
kicking chores. Seidenstricker is fifth in the PSAC in punt
returns, netting 8.4 per try, while Tom Coleman ranks fourth in
kickoff returns at 29.4.

Edinboro takes back to the highways at California while the
Red Raiders look forward to a home contest with the Golden
Eagles of Clarion.

Now in his fifteenth year as pres­
ident of Edinboro University of Penn­
sylvania, Foster F. Diebold is the
fourteenth chief executive officer of
the institution of higher learning that
has come to acclaim in the last
decade as one of Pennsylvania's and
the nation's finest. He has brought a
vigorous educational and moral lead­
ership, a strengthening of the spirit of
community, a clear sense of direction
and purpose, and a dimension of
multicultural pluralism and diversity.

Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that,
he was executive secretary to the
Board of Regents and special assis­
tant to the president of the University
of Alaska Statewide System. From
1969 to 1976, he was director of
Development and Planning at Kean
College in New Jersey and a member
of the graduate faculty at that institu­
tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was
assistant superintendent of the Nep­
tune Township (New Jersey) Public
Schools.

Much has been accomplished
during President Diebold's tenure.
The University has returned to finan­
cial health. Significant facilities and
grounds improvements have been
achieved, with several of the historic
structures on campus restored to
their original splendor. Academic
programs have been emphasized and
improved, with more than 100 degree
offerings now available. Enrollment
gains have been unprecedented in
both numbers and academic quality.
International linkages have been
established with institutions in sever­
al other coimtries, and Edinboro Uni­
versity's program for students with
disabilities continues to garner
acclaim as one of the finest among all
colleges and universities in the Unit­
ed States. Widely recognized as a
leader in education both here and
abroad. President Diebold has posi­
tioned Edinboro University to meet
the challenges that will face public
higher education in the 21st century.

Recognized for his extensive
experience in the field of education
management. President Diebold's
scholarly achievements in the disci­
pline of applied ethics in higher edu­
cation deserve special mention. The
model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Col­
leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­
tices for College Presidents," was
unanimously adopted by that profes­
sional organization and published as
policy for the chief executives of its
nearly 400 member institutions
nationwide. It is the first formally
adopted ethical practices and policy
statement for higher education presi­
dents.

The Orange, New Jersey, native is
a graduate of Monmouth College and
also holds a master of arts in educa­
tional administration from Seton Hall
University. He has met coursework
requirements for a doctorate in edu­
cation at Rutgers University and is
currently completing the dissertation
requirement for the Ph.D. program in
higher education at the University of
Pittsburgh.
Prior to his presidency of Edin­
boro University, President Diebold
was president of the University of

For his leadership on an interna­
tional scale and for his many contri­
butions to the advancement of higher
education and enrichment of an
emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi­
dent Diebold was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three
Pakistani universities. The awards for
educational eminence were presented
during visits to the Edinboro campus
by official Pakistani delegations.
President Diebold was also hon­
ored by the Government of Pakistan
with the awarding of the degree of
Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­
sented at the Government House in
the City of Karachi. The ceremony
was attended by the presidents of the
several Pakistani universities holding
linkage agreements with Edinboro
University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government

of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi­
cials.
A staunch advocate of a
statewide system of public universi­
ties in Pennsylvania, President
Diebold supported the enabling legis­
lation for the State System of Higher
Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw
the State System come to existence in
1983 as a member of the transition
team. He currently serves on the Sys­
tem's Executive Council of Presidents
and on the boards of the Pennsylva­
nia Academy for the Profession of
Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath­
letic Conference, and the Dixon Uni­
versity Center at Harrisburg.
President Diebold's stature in
American higher education has been
recognized by several high-level
appointments. He was named to the
National Committee on U.S.-China
Relations, the leading national orga­
nization devoted to building con­
structive relationships between the
two countries. He was also appointed
to the Leadership Council of the
Northeast-Midwest Institute, a
regional component of the Center for
Regional Policy, and to the Pennsyl­
vania Humanities Council, the pri­
vate, non-profit group promoting
statewide public understanding of
the humanities.

Scot Success in the Classroom

Thank you,
Edinboro University
Walker Bros. Buick-Chevrolet has been in the automobile business in Edinboro since
1916 making us one of the oldest dealers in the country. However, we are mere youngsters
compared to Edinboro University. Thru the decades our families have watched the school
grow and mature into today's University. Not by accident, we have seen the town of Edinboro grow and mature at the same time, with much of that growth being former Edinboro
students who stayed and made homes here after graduating. For this we say, "thank you,
Edinboro University."
Edinboro University offers much more to the region than a fine education at a rea­
sonable price. Almost daily there is either a cultural or athletic event right here in our own
backyard providing great entertainment. Besides the entertainment, many,of us use the
physical facilities of the University. For this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University."

Under the direction of Tom Hollman,
the Scots have not only excelled on the
field but in the classroom.
Last year the football team had 28
different student-athletes earn semester
grade point averages over the 3.0 mark,
up one from a year ago. Furthermore, the
Scots also increased the number of play­
ers who eclipsed the same standard on a
cumulative basis.
Among the 'Boro's standouts were
1994 graduates Scott Mikowicz and Dave
Ashton. Mikowicz displayed outstanding
work in the classroom, finishing his aca­
demic career with an impressive 3.40
QPA. The height of his studies was exem­
plified with his representation of Edin­
boro University as an NCAA
post-graduate scholarship nominee. Also
the starting tight end on the football
team, Mikowicz caught 25 passes for 365
yards and four touchdowns. Ashton
earned honors as a national scholar-ath­
lete and as a three-time Edinboro Univer­
sity scholar-athlete, maintaining a 3.22
QPA during his four years at the 'Boro.
He was a starting wide receiver in 1993,
catching 26 passes for 334 yards and three
touchdowns.
Several 1993 graduates earned lau­
rels on and off the field during their
careers at Edinboro. Sean Seibert and
Brian Heebsh were both recognized as
national scholar-athletes by College Foot­
ball Preview magazine a year ago, while
All-Americans Georj Lewis and Mike
Barnes were nominated for NCAA
minority post-graduate scholarships.

Finally, for those of us in business in the Edinboro area, the University provides a
great economic benefit. Local patronage from University employees, students and all the
spinoff employment created by the University is what makes us able to be a major sponsor of
Edinboro athletics and today's game. For all this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University."
Sincerely,
Richard H. Walker

O

Before the arrival of Tom Hollman in
1988, the Fighting Scots knew that their
football program needed a lift. What they
didn't know was that under Hollman's
direction, their lift would quickly become
a significant elevation.
Edinboro has taken its program to
national prominence, and in 1994 will
aim to reach the NCAA II playoffs for the
fifth time in the past six seasons. Last
year, the Scots earned their second
straight post-season appearance while
posting another eight-win (8-3) season.
With all three hard fought losses coming
at the hands of nationally-ranked oppo­
nents, the Boro was strong enough to fin­
ish the year ranked #14 among the
Division II elite.
This upcoming season should be a
good measure of just how successful the
Edinboro tradition has become. Gradua­
tion took 11 starters, many of whom
spent multiple seasons at the top of the
depth chart. And while the good fortune
has been enjoyed, it has not gone unno­
ticed. The Scots will have to carry on the
tradition without both former offensive
line coach Ed Stults, who assumed the
head coaching duties at Defiance College
(OH), and former defensive line
coach/recruiting coordinator Gene Smith,
who now works as an NFL BLESTO
scout.
The quest for a third straight post­
season berth in 1994 will not be easy with
another rugged 10-game schedule. The
PSAC West slate is more balanced than
ever, while, furthermore, the Scots face
formidable non-conference foes in Hills­
dale (MI), Elizabeth City and American
International, and Mansfield.
The Plaid will host five games and
play five on the road in 1994, including
the visitors role in two straight contests to
begin the year. In a strange twist of for­
tunes, the Boro has been a terror away
from home the past two years. Since the
start of the 1992 campaign, Edinboro has
gone 10 straight regular season road
games without a loss while posting seven
wins and three setbacks at Sox Harrison
Stadium.

campaign in which he set single season
standards for yards (2,209), touchdowns
(25), and attempts (277). The Scots have
compiled an impressive 23-9-1 record
during his string of 33 consecutive starts.
Larry Jackson, one of the best tail­
backs in Edinboro history, also returns for
his senior season. The 1992 PSAC West
Player of the Year returned from early
season injuries to amass 1,171 yards and
eight touchdowns in 1993. Jackson's 2,577
career rushing yards puts him within 823
yards of the Boro's all-time mark. Full­
back Chris Snyder, both a tough runner
and punishing blocker, will solidify the
Plaid backfield.
When the Scots go to the air, they'll
look in the direction of wide out Lateef
Walters (23 receptions, 550 yds., 6 TDs)
who gives them plenty of big-play experi­
ence.
Offensive Line
The Boro is strong up the middle,
with returning guards Det Betti and Jere­
my O'Day. Betti may be asked to play
center to make room for either Chadd
Wallick or Otha Davidson, both of whom
have started in big games during their
careers. On the outside, they must some­
how replace former All-PSAC tackles
Mike Kegarise and Tony Tighe. Todd
Henne caught four touchdowns last sea­
son and could get the nod at tight end.
Defensive Line
With only one returnee from last
year's squad, the defensive front could be
a big question mark. All-Northeast
Region defensive end Pat Schuster looks
to duplicate a spectacular 1993 campaign
in which he had 76 stops and 11 sacks.
Playing opposite Schuster could be con­
verted linebacker and special teams
standout Bryan Lambert (59 tackles).
The main concern is plugging up the
middle with the departure of All-Ameri­
can tackle Russell Cray and linemate Rob
Harmer. Matt Gentile played well last
year when injuries put him into a starting
role. The other tackle spot will be up for
grabs when the fall practice sessions get
imderway.

Skill Positions
Linebackers
Quarterback Jody Dickerson will
head the offense for the fourth straight
season. On pace to break several Edin­
boro career passing records, the PSAC
West first-teamer, and honorable mention
All-American, returns after a stellar 1993

Michael Edwards will spearhead a
linebacking crew who all return as former
starters. The two year backer recorded
127 tackles and six break-ups en route to
a PSAC West Second Team selection a
11

year ago. Another great season from
Edwards could vault him into the Boro's
top ten in career tackles. Michael Sims, a
1993 redshirt, will be asked to fill the big
shoes of three-time All-American middle
linebacker Jason Perkins. Sims had an
impressive freshman season two years
ago in which he had 84 stops at one of the
outside positions. Rahshahn Alston will
be expected to round out an excellent core
of linebackers in 1994. Only a freshman
last year, Alston gained experience as a
starter, totaling 69 tackles from the out­
side.
Secondary
The Boro returns three-fourths of a
defensive backfield that terrorized quar­
terbacks for 22 interceptions last season.
All-American safety Steve Russell will
lead the talented unit. One of the best ath­
letes on the team, Russell is a school
record holder with 14 interceptions. Last
season the All-American and PSAC West
first teamer stole seven aerials and regis­
tered 68 tackles. Also feared for his hit­
ting ability, Russell has forced six fumbles
over his stellar career.
Marty Williams and Rick Walker also
return after starting all eleven games last
season. Walker accounted for 46 tackles,
five break-ups, and one interception from
his free safety position while Williams, a
comerback, recorded 61 tackles, 10 break­
ups, two interceptions and a blocked
punt. Both returnees caused two fumbles
and recovered another in 1993. Corners
David Harris and Ron Allen both saw
action throughout the past season and are
expected to compete for more playing
time this year.
Specialties
Place-kicker Scott Rupert, a Boro
mainstay the past two years, returns to
handle the kicking chores for yet another
season. In 1993 Rupert set an Edinboro
single season record by connecting on 43
of 45 PAT tries. Five of his 11 field goal
attempts were also true, including a
career best 44 yarder.
The Boro will have a new punter in
1994 for the first time in four years due to
the graduation of All-American Gary
Lhotsky. The vacancy remains up for
grabs as camp starts in August.
Walters is likely to be the Scots' top
punt return threat while Russell averaged
over 24 yards per kickoff return last sea­
son, including a 92-yarder for a score at
Slippery Rock.

Head Coach Tom Hollman
In January 1988, Edinboro Uni­
versity hired Tom Hollman, Athens,
Ohio, as its eleventh head football
coach in the school's history. Hollman
came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer­
sity, where he was the defensive coor­
dinator.
Hollman, beginning his seventh
year, has the Scot program back in
the national spotlight. At Edinboro,
he has earned 45 wins against just 19
losses and two ties and owns an
impressive 27-7-2 slate against the
PSAC Western Division. The Scots
have advanced to post-season play
four of the past five years.

Tom Hollman

In 1989, he was named the top
coach in the East Region by the
National Football Coaches Associa­
tion and also tabbed the top coach in
the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided
the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II
playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir­
ginia Union and advanced to the
national quarterfinals.
"Edinboro has been a great expe­
rience, and I like the direction of the
program," Hollman said.
"As a coach, I have been fortu­
nate to coach at many different levels,
from high school to Division I. The
Division II level here at Edinboro is
very appealing to me in relation to
my career goals. It is a great feeling to
be a head coach at this level."
Hollman's educational back­
ground begins with a high school
diploma from Memorial High School
in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his
undergraduate degree in education
from Ohio Northern University in
1968. Three years later Hollman
received his master of science degree
in education from Xavier University
in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Tom Hollman

sive end during his junior and senior
years. He holds the school record
with 13 career interceptions and
earned All-American and All-District
honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­
sons. Hollman also lettered in base­
ball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.
A chronological look at Holl­
man's coaching career begins in 1968
as an assistant coach at Sidney High
School in Sidney, Ohio. From there,
Hollman moved on to Greenville
High School in Ohio where he
became head coach from 1971-73. His
Greenville squads posted andmpressive 26-2-2 mark during his threeyear stay.
Hollman then movefd on to Fre­
mont Ross High School as head coach
for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where
his squad recorded 15 wins against
three setbacks and two ties. Fremont
was the Buckeye Conference champ
in 1974, unbeaten at 9-0-1.
In 1976, Hollman moved on to
the collegiate ranks where he was the
defensive coordinator for his alma
mater at Ohio Northern University.
The following year, Hollman
accepted the head coach position at
Wooster College (OH) and guided his
squad to 01e best four-year record in
the school history (24-11-1).
In 1981, Hollman took an assis­
tant coaching spot with Ball State
University which he held through the
1984 campaign. Then, beginning in
1985 Hollman held the defensive
coordinator position at Ohio Univer­
sity.
Tom resides in Edinboro with his
wife, Kandi, and four children, Mari,
Jon, Tim and Denise.

While at Ohio Northern, Holl­
man was a three-year starter for the
football team and a two-year per­
former as a defensive back and offen­

1994 Returning All-Americans

The Hollman Era Continues 1988-1994
"I like the shape of our program. Our goal was to
establish a winning program and have fun in the pro­
cess. I feel we have done that. We continue to improve
on the field and in the classroom - we want to contin­
ue to bring a special type of student-athlete to Edinboro University. It is time to take the next step and
take our program to the elite level among Division II
schools. Each year, we feel that we can play with any
team in the country."

Scott Browning - Offensive Line
Moving to the offensive side of the
ball, from the defensive backfield, Scott
brings a wealth of coaching experience in
his ninth year at the 'Boro. Under his
guidance the Scot defense has intercepted
78 passes the past six seasons. He has
guided the fortunes of All-Americans
Steve Russell, Michael Willis, Wade
Smith, Georj Lewis, and Mike Barnes, and
PSAC Rookie of the Year Mario Houston.
Offensively, he coached former greats
Elbert Cole, Floyd Faulkner and Ross
Rankin.
Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio
State University, where he coached
receivers and running backs. Prior to his
start at OSU, Browning coached at Wor­
thington and Dayton-Fairview high
schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a

graduate assistant, he coached the defen­
sive secondary at New Mexico State in
1982.
In 1983, he mentored the receivers at
Idaho State University which advanced to
the Division I-AA playoffs.
Browning earned a master's degree
in education administration from New
Mexico State in 1983, and a BS in educa­
tion from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier,
before transferring to OSU, Scott attended
Capital University where he played foot­
ball for one season. Browning was a fouryear letterman in four sports at
Loudonville High School (OH) prior to
his collegiate days. Scott is married to the
former Lynn Hook, and has a son,
Andrew Scott. The Brownings reside in
Edinboro.

Dan Gierlak - Running Backs
Dan Gierlak enters his eighth season
as a full-time coach with his responsibili­
ties concerning the running backs. He
was formerly the head women's softball
coach for the Scots and led the squad to
the PSAC playoffs in 1990.
Gierlak came to the 'Boro from Thiel
College (Pa.) where he coached the defen­
sive secondary for the 1984 season. Dan, a
starter and three-year letterwinner for the
Plaid in the secondary, moved on to the
semi-pro ranks with the Chicago Cow­
boys. During his short stint with the
Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained nation­
al championship honors in 1984 and run­

ner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gier­
lak brings both playing and coaching
experience to the staff, giving the Scot
players an added plus on the offensive
side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has
guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert
Cole and Boro All-Americans Lester Frye
and Larry Jackson.
Originally from Buffalo, New York,
Dan graduated from Edinboro with a
degree in health and physical education.
He and his wife, the former Amy Adams,
three-year-old daughter, Alexandria Ali­
cia, and 9-month-old son, Daniel "Joey"
Jr., reside in Edinboro.

Tony Elliott - Secondary
Tony Elliott, a defensive back with
the Green Bay Packers from 1986-88,
begins his first season coaching the Fight­
ing Scot secondary. His professional play­
ing experience should be beneficial to an
already strong Edinboro secondary.
"Tony has a fine football mind, and has
been successful as a player and coach. He
comes strongly recommended from oth­
ers in the profession and will be an excel­
lent role model for our players," head
coach Tom Hollman said.
Elliott comes to Edinboro from
Wayne State (Michigan), where he served
as the defensive coordinator and sec­
ondary coach last year. He started at WSU

in 1992 as defensive coordinator and
linebacker coach. He began his coaching
career at Alma College in 1990-91, before
coaching at Grand Valley University in
1991-92. His main duties at those two
schools were recruiting and teaching on
the defensive side of the ball.
Elliott is a graduate of Central Michi­
gan University where he majored in
sports studies with a minor concentration
in interpersonal communications. He was
a four-year letterman for the Chippewas
of CMU. Originally from Detroit, Elliott
played at Finney High School from 197982 where he was an All-State performer.

Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the
coaching ranks for 21 years, begins his
seventh year with the Plaid as defensive
coordinator and linebacker coach. Former
understudy of head coach Tom Hollman
at Greenville High School, Mark brings
extensive experience both on and off the
field to the Scot coaching staff. He has
helped mold the Scot defense into one of
the most respected squads in the country
on the Division II level.
His coaching stint began back while
attending Findlay when he was the head
scout for Arlington High School. His first
job after college was as defensive coordi­
nator for Bryan High School (OH) where
the team earned a 9-1 record. The next
two seasons, Niswonger was the defen­
sive coordinator at West Carrollton High
School (OH) where his squad posted an
impressive 17-1-2 slate.

After West Carrollton, he then
returned to graduate school at Ball State
University where he helped coach the
tight ends and offensive linemen.
From 1981-84, Niswonger was the
head coach at Franklin City schools and
was named "coach of the year" in 1982
when his squad won its first league
championship in 18 years. He then
moved on to the collegiate ranks in 1984
at Manchester College as defensive coor­
dinator and then back to his alma mater
from 85-87 as their secondary coach.
Niswonger's education includes an
undergraduate degree in physical educa­
tion and political science from Findlay
and a MA in physical education from Ball
State. Mark and his wife Patty and threeyear-old daughter, Megan Marie, and
eighteen-month-old son, Joushua Jay,
reside in Edinboro.

The year was 1990. Jody Dickerson, a
highly-recruited quarterback from McK­
ees Rocks, Pa., could have gone just about
anywhere he wanted to continue his
career as one of the many talented quar­
terbacks who hail from the western end
of the Keystone State.
The strongest persuasion came from
another Pittsburgh-area native, Michigan
State University head coach George Perles. Apparently, bigger and better things
were ahead for the strong-armed Sto-Rox
High School graduate as he set off for
Michigan State's Spartan Stadium.
But things took a turn for the worse.
Dickerson found that the heralded can­
non he possessed for a right arm was not
being fired.
"I guess it's everybody's dream to go
Division I," Dickerson said. "I was no dif­
ferent. Yeah, 1 was a freshman, and I real­
ly didn't expect to start, but I expected to
get a shot, and I really didn't get my shot
at Michigan State."
At home and without a school, Dick­
erson's dream was no longer alive.
Enter Tom Hollman, Edinboro Uni­
versity's head coach. Fresh off a 1990 sea­
son and the school's first NCAA Division
II playoff victory, Hollman offered Dick­
erson the two things he was looking for a winning program and a chance to make
an immediate impact.
"I don't think my decision was that
hard," Dickerson recalled about coming
to Edinboro. "They had a great team the
year before, and I wanted to go some­
where where I would get a chance to
start. That's what led me here, and I don't
regret any of the decisions that I made."
When Dickerson first reported to
Edinboro, he showed that his year away
from football didn't have many ill-effects,
as he won the starting job and maintained
his freshman eligibility.
And while Dickerson showed the
coaches that he could, in fact, play quar­
terback, he had yet to prove his skills
against his 1991 opponents, who must
have been licking their chops at the sight
of the inexperienced newcomer.
That first season proved to be tough
on Dickerson and the 'Boro faithful.
Despite the fact that the freshman direct­
ed the Fighting Scots through a good sea­
son, the Plaid failed to make the NCAA
Division II playoffs for the first time in
three years.

Dickerson did show some promise
throughout the 11-game schedule and, by
season's end, guided the Scots to a 20-17
setback in a near upset of top-ranked
Indiana (Pa.)
Though Dickerson struggled statisti­
cally, the groundwork had been set. He
had familiarized himself with Edinboro's
offense and entered the next season with
less pressure to prove himself.
"When I came into the program, I
didn't really expect any pressure," Dick­
erson said. "But later, I felt like so much
more was expected from me because I
was so heavily recruited by Division I
teams. After my freshman year, I felt right
at home and felt like I fit in."
Dickerson soon found that another
sophomore, tailback Larry Jackson, began
to fit into the Edinboro system as well.
The backfield tandem produced well over
3,000 yards of total offense for the 'Boro
in 1992.
The dynamic duo also played a sig­
nificant role in something that had eluded
them the year before - a return trip to the
NCAA Division II playoffs. Dickerson
also helped lead the Scots to an 8-1-1 reg­
ular season mark, their best record since
1971.
Comfortable with the system and
with the pressure completely gone, the
young gun had developed into a good
quarterback throughout the 1992 season.
In 1993, the gun took aim and hit its
mark. Dickerson rifled his way into the
Edinboro record books by throwing for
over 2,200 yards and 25 touchdowns in
1993, while once again guiding the Scots
back to the postseason.
For his efforts, Dickerson was chosen
as a Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer­
ence Western Division (PSAC West) firstteam selection and was a Football Gazette
honorable mention All-American.
Dickerson will humbly explain that
his mighty right arm was not the only
weapon in the 'Boro arsenal.
"We had many more options last
year than we did in any of my other
years," he said. "Everybody had to con­
sider Larry in their game plan, and that
took some of the pressure off our passing
game."
Last season was obviously a break­
through year for Dickerson, who now has
shattered all of Edinboro's career passing
records.
33

But Dickerson is not ready to rest on
his laurels. "That's one thing that you
really can't think about because that's
when you start messing up," he said. "As
long as our team wins and we keep
reaching our goals, the numbers will fall
in place for us."
Dickerson added, "Someday when
Tm gone, I might look back on it and real­
ize that I have some records at Edinboro,
but right now I really don't think about it
that much."
The 1994 season is now in full swing,
leaving Dickerson only a few more games
in an already remarkable football career.
The four-year starter will tell you that his
role has changed from a follower to a
leader.
"There's no doubt that you take on a
different role as a senior," he said. "You
want to pick everybody up and go out as
a winner."
As always, the Scots have set their
goals high for the current season, and
Edinboro's number 6 is no different from
the rest of his teammates.
"We set high standards every year,
but at the end of the year we've come up
a little short," Dickerson said. "We've
managed to make it to the playoffs the
last two years and we have contributed to
a great winning tradition."
Dickerson added, "Of course, Td like
to go out and win the PSAC and win the
national championship. But if that doesn't
happen, I just want to be remembered as
one of the great players in Edinboro his­
tory."
Dickerson needs not to worry about
having his name mentioned with the alltime 'Boro greats. He has already earned
that distinction.
Right now, there is not much left for
him to do but play his game. Four years
ago, he was the kid who never got a shot
at the Division I level. At the end of this
season, he will be remembered at Edin­
boro as a quarterback who not only had a
shot but also had a deadly aim.
"This is my senior year, and of
course," said the gun, who really isn't
young anymore," "I'd like to go out with
a bang."

Assistant Coaches

Nicklaus Cronk - Defensive Line
Cronk joins Edinboro University's
staff as the former position coach for tight
ends at Indiana University. He spent two
seasons with the Hoosiers, both of them
as a graduate assistant to head coach Bill
Mallory. His first season in Bloomington,
Cronk spent time assisting the defensive
coordinator with the linebackers, and he
also helped in the recruiting duties. While
at lU, he graduated with a master's
degree in physical education administra­
tion. Prior to joining the staff at Indiana,

Cronk was an assistant coach at Carroll
Consolidated High School, handling the
special teams and defensive end responsi­
bilities.
Cronk spent his playing days at
Wabash College, where he was an honor­
able mention performer in the Indiana
College Athletic Conference, and
captained the 1991 league championship
squad. He graduated from Wabash with a
bachelor of arts degree in political sci­
ence.

The state universities spent the
first 100 years of existence train­
ing teachers for Pennsylvania's
schools. The Normal School Act
of 1857 established regional
teacher training institutions
throughout the Commonwealth.
The School Code of 1911 called
for the state purchase of all nor­
mal schools, and by 1921 the pre­
sent configuration of 14
state-owned universities was
established. The 14 normal
schools evolved from state nor­
mal schools, to state teachers col­
leges, to state colleges. On
November 12, 1982, Act 188 was
signed into law establishing on
July 1, 1993 the Pennsylvania
State System of Higher Educa­
tion. Thus, the 13 former state
colleges joined with Indiana Uni­
versity of Pennsylvania to
achieve university status. The
universities have a cumulative
history of 1,600 years.
There are 14 universities in the
State System of Higher Education
with four branch campuses and
the McKeever Environmental
Center.
The total student population
among the System universities is
95,000. While 89% of students are
from Pennsylvania, they repre­
sent many other states and for­
eign countries.
The total university campus has
over 4,000 acres in 19 Pennsylva­
nia counties. Buildings for class­
rooms,
residences,
administration and student sup­
port number 719.

/

Collectively the 14 universities
offer 217 undergraduate and 107
graduate degree programs, led
by 5,500 full-time faculty mem­
bers.

/

An average 75% of undergradu­
ate students receive some form of
financial assistance to help meet
costs.

/

Several study abroad programs
are available in System universi­
ties.

/

All the universities support life­
long learning programs through­
out the academic year. Many
feature Elderhostel.

/

Most universities have honors
programs, student counseling
and career planning, cooperative
education, and internship pro­
grams.

/

System library holdings total
more than 5.5 million volumes
and 13 million periodicals, micro­
forms, and audio materials.

/

The universities in the State Sys­
tem of Higher Education are fully
accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Sec­
ondary Schools, the National
Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education, and several
appropriate national professional
organizations.

/

System graduates living in the
Commonwealth number over
296,000.
