Today’s Oame
Today’s Game
Edmboro Fighting Scots (6-2,4-1PSAC West)
vs.
Kutztown Golden Bears (1-7,1-4 PSAC East)
It hardly seems possible, but we've reached the end of another
home campaign. The 2005 season has definitely been a good one,
but Edmboro hopes there are still several more weeks of action
remaining.
The Fighting Scots can achieve one of their goals next week at
Lock Haven. A win over the Bald Eagles would give Edinboro no
worse than a tie for the
PSAC West champi
onship. It would be the
third straight crown for
the Fighting Scots.
But first things first.
Today Edinboro hosts a
Kutztown team which
is 1-7 overall, but a
look at the scores says
it's a better team than
that. Consider that just
three weeks ago the
Golden Bears lost to

score. They were also a

one of their goals, a

weeks are a must.
Finally, prior to today's game we recognize our 15 seniors mak
ing their final regular season home appearance at Sox Harrison
Stadimn.
t The Coaches
Edinboro head coach Lou Tepper (Rutgers '67) is in his sixth season in
charge of the Fighting Scots. He owns a record of38-26 at Edinboro, and
including five seasons as the head coach at the University of Illinois, has
an overall record of 63-57-2. Tepper was named the 2003 PSAC West
Coach of the Year and was also recognized as Edinboro's Coach of the
Year. Renowned as a defensive genius, Tepper has worked on the staffs
of some of the top programs in the coimhy, including Wginia Tech,
Colorado and LSU. But his greatest notoriety came at Illinois, where he
coached from 1989-%. The defensive coordinator and later assistant
head coach from 1988-91, Tepper was appointed the Fighting Dlini head
coach on December 13,1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
Edinboro University Football 2005
Slippery Rock. But closer inspection tells us that Robertson dropped
four inside the twenty, constantly pinning The Rock in poor field posi
tion. SRU had drives start at the 7, 4,10 and 14 thanks to Robertson
kicks. And Josh Kniess, one of the top punt returners in the country,
was held to one return for seven yards.
A Look Ahead to 2006
Ryan Rybicki fell one yard short of his first career touchdown receptiorv
The re^hirt freshman wide receiver caught a short pass from Justin
Bouch and turned it into a 49-yard gain. Unfortunately, he was stripped
of the ball at the one yard line, and it rolled through ^e end zone for a
touchback.
Ob So Close
! Saturday, October 29,2005
Sox Harrison Stadium -1:00 p.m.
Today’s Grame
Era has been blocking kicks. The Fighting Scots have blocked four kicks
this year, with two coming in the last two weeks. Oddly enough, both
were blocked pimts when the return was on. Two weeks ago Chris
Avery blocked a pimt against Indiana(Pa.) and recovered it in the end
zone for a touchdown. A week later it was A.J. Cousins blocking a
Slippery Rock pimt and recovering for six points.
As has been our custom, in the last home program for 2005 we list the
2006 schedule. Please remember this is tentative, and subject to change:
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He would go on to guide the Dlini to two more
bowl games whDe posting a 25-31-2 ledger. (For more on Lou Tepper, see
pages &7.)
Dave Keeny (Kutztown '83) is in his eighth season as the head coach at
his alma mater, and has a record of 37-45 during that period.

Tlie Edinboro-Kutztown Series
EtHnboro leads 3-2
VN^th two wins in the last three meetings, Edinboro has taken a 3-2 lead
in the aD-time series. The last time Kutztown visited Sox Harrison
Stadium, it was the Golden Bears coming away with, a win, taking
advantage of a pair of bad ptmt snaps for a 14-10 win in 2002.
Last Year’s Game
Edinbtrro23, Ku.tzt0wn.i4
Haying for the second year in a row at Kutztown, the Fighting Scots
struggled somewhat before finaDy subduing the Golden Bears in what
was Edinboro's fifth Homecoming game of Die year. Kutztown jumped
out to a 7-0 lead just three plays into the game on a 57-yard pass from
Jeremy Copeland to Jeremy Wesley. Chris Aveiy tied the score with a
31-yard interception return for a touchdown, but the Golden Bears came
right back on the ensuing kickoff, as James Brooks returned it 93 yards
for a touchdown. The high-scoring first quarter ended with Kody
Robertson kicking a 23-yard field goal. Robertson added a 29-yard field
goal in the second quarter, as the Fighting Scots traded 14-13 at inter
mission. The Edinboro placekicker added his third three-pointer in the
third quarter, a 25-yarder, and Andre Burke iced the win with a twoyard TO run with just over four minutes to play. Edinboro ended the
day with 401 total yards, as Burke ran for 159 yards on 33 carries and
Justin Bouch threw for 191 yards. Kutztown totaled 232 yards.
/
This Past Week’s ResiUts
Thanks to a strong defensive showing, Edinboro kept aDve its hopes for
a third straight FSACWest crown with a 24-7 victory over Slippery
Rock. The Fighting Scots dodged a buUet when The Rock missed a
potential game-tying 40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Greg
MacAnn gave Edinboro a Dttle cushion with a fumble recovery in the
end zone, courtesy of a sack by Jim Soltis that led to a Nate Crookshank
fumble. That score came with 5:38 remaining in the game, and less than
three minutes later A.J. Cousins stormed in and blocked a ptmt, then
recovered it in the end zone for the final score. Kelvin Collins paced the
offaise with 133 yards on 25 carries in his first start at taDback, and
Justin Bouch threw a six-yard TO pass to Ryan Valasek. The defense
came up with 9 sacks, forced 5 turnovers, including a pair of Tom
Davidson interceptions, and held SRU to 240 yards. Chris Amico fin
ished with a career-high 12 tackles, including a pair of sacks. Kutztown
dropped a 23-20 decision to MiDersviDe as the Golden Bear offense man
aged just 71 yards, including 12 on the groimd. The defense also took
care of the scoring, with a pair of fumble returns for touchdowns. Matt
Scartozzi added field goals of 29 and 31 yards.
Mth two weeks left in the regular season, the NCAA Division II Playoff
picture is beginning to take shape. But as the wise man (or coach)
would say, there's stUl plenty of footbaD to be played. The Fighting
Scots are ranked seventh in the Northeast Regioa The top six teams in
the region are chosen for postseason action.

Chris Amico Honored by PSAC
Last week's performance by the defense in the 24-7 win over Slippery
Rock made it difficult to select one nominee for PSAC West Defensive
Player of the Week. The PSAC wisely recognized that nominee - Chris
Amico. The sophomore defensive tackle spearheaded the defensive
showing with a career-high 12 tackles. That included 3.5 tackles for
losses totaling 18 yards, with a pair of sacks.
Kelvin Collins JVlakes the IVlost of First
Start
\\^th the weather deteriorating, not to mention the Sox Harrison
Stadium plajnng surface, it was the perfect time to give Kelvin Collins
his first start at taDback. The 6'0", 2^ lb. saiior responded with a sea
son-high 133 yards on 25 carries, biDling his way between the tackles on
numerous runs. Collins is in his first season as a Fighting Scot after
playing three seasons at Bowie State. His north-south running style
proved perfect for the conditions.
Kutztown Game Captains
Special Teams — Kody Robertson; Offense — Justin Bouch, QB;
Defense — Seth Fragale, OLB
Let’s Give Dave a Hand
The steady rain for the Slippery Rock game coiDd have left Sox
Harrison Stadium a mess D not for the efforts of Dave Higham and his
staff. Along with a group of players, Higham covered the field on
Friday The end resiDt was a very playable surface. A former starting
offensive lineman for the Scots, Dave stiff finds a way to help Edinboro
win.

Head Coach Lx>u Tepper
Veteran Division I mentor Lou
Tepper was appointed the 12th
head football coach at Edinboro
University, officially taking charge
of the Fighting Scot program on
January 5, 2000. He promised a
tough and classy program, and in
four short years delivered a cham
pionship team that fans and alumni
enthusiastically endorse.
Tepper inherited an Edinboro
program which had won just
eleven games in the previous three
seasons. The Scots have shown
consistent improvement in "Coach
Tep's" five years, culminated by
consecutive PSAC championships
for the first time in Edinboro history, the best two-year record in
Edinboro
history.

seasons,
with
President, Edinboro University
tremendous balance
between
rushing
and passing. The defense led the nation with 42 turnovers and 30 inter
ceptions while playing stingy run defense in 2004. Truth be known.
Topper's real passion is for special teams, despite his national reputa
tion on defense. Edinboro has not had a kick blocked the last two years,
while blocking four kicks a year ago, with two blocked punts returned
for touchdowns.
While winning is important, it isn't the only emphasis at
Edinboro with Tepper at the controls. The participation numbers have
significantly increased and academic performances have soared. He
has demanded recruiting equally a combination of character and talent.
The Edinboro staff stresses a family concept and racial harmony. The
improvement academically has been so drastic that out of 80 players on
the team following spring practice, just three were faced with academ
ic probation.
The 2000 season brought a 5-6 record, rnatching the Edinboro
record for wins by a first-year head coach, and a fifth place PSAC fin
ish. In 2001 and 2002, the Fighting Scots were very competitive, setting
the stage for back-to-back championship seasons.
Edinboro made its first postseason appearance in 2003, claiming
a share of the PSAC West championship. The Fighting Scots survived
a brutal three-game stretch early in the season, defeating 16th-ranked
East Stroudsburg, 30-21, dropping a 40-34 decision to 22nd-ranked
Shippensburg, and upsetting fourth-ranked Indiana(Pa.) on the
Indians' home turf, 28-20. The Scots ended the regular season with a
six-game winning streak. During that stretch Edinboro held opponents
without a touchdown for 20 consecutive quarters. Tepper was recog
nized as the PSAC West Coach of the Year in 2004, as Edinboro finished
with a 9-3 record and an 18th place ranking in the AFCA poU.
The Fighting Scots once again finished 9-3 and tied for the PSAC
West crown a year ago, while duplicating the 2003 AFCA ranking of
18th. Edinboro picked up its second-ever NCAA postseason win with
a 47-44 win at 20th-ranked Bentley.
Edinboro University Football 2005
BACKGROUND
Tepper, a native of Keystone, PA, returned to the Division II level
after coaching at Division I institutions for almost thirty years. He is
renowned as a defensive coaching genius, with a resume that includes
three Butkus Award honorees and an Outland Trophy winner. Tepper's
list of standouts include Bruce Smith, John Holecek, Simeon Rice, Kevin
Hardy, Brad Hopkins, Booger MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current
or former NFL standouts. In addition, he has worked with some of the
top head coaches in the country, including Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech,
Bill McCartney at Colorado, John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry
DiNardo at LSU.
"Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it has been neat to be a
head coach again and to be a head coach in this environment," Tepper
related following his first season at Edinboro. "I've recruited western
Pennsylvania for half of my career. It's a joy to be back home."
Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coordi
nator at Louisiana State University in 1999. He began his tenure with
the Tigers on December 15,1997, helping LSU to a 27-9 Independence
Bowl win over Notre Dame. AH told, he has served as a defensive coor
dinator for 19 years in his coaching profession.
BIG TEN HEAD COACH
Lou Tepper was appointed the head coach at the University of
Illinois on December 13,1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced Mackovic, who left for the head
coaching position at the University of Texas. During his five-year stint
as the Fighting Illini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2,
including two more bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of
wins over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first vic
tory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consecutive
wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive,
Tepper graduated a very high percentage of his Big Ten seniors.
Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the defen
sive coordinator for four seasons and assistant head coach for two
years. In his nine seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to six bowl
invitations, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings in the AP and UPI
polls. He was honored as the Big Ten's top defensive assistant coach in
1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annually ranked among
Head Coach lx>u Tepper
the best in the country, finishing 10th in 1989,14th in
1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995.
Tepper's 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suf
fering a 27-17 defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl.
Illinois went in to Columbus and upset Ohio State,
18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie against Michigan in
Ann Arbor.
While his '93 edition finished 5-6, that includ
ed a 24-21 win m Ann Arbor against the Wolverines.
The Illini made it back to postseason play in 1994,
handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewashing in the
Liberty Bowl. The '94 squad finished 7-5, again
upsetting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once
again it was on the road, as Illinois shocked Ohio
State, 24-10, in Columbus behind Butkus Award
winner Dana Howard.
UNEBACKERS
Through the years Penn State had gained the
reputation as "Linebacker U", but Illinois could have
made a good case for that designation as well dur
ing Tepper's tenure. He produced consecutive
Butkus Award winners in Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along the way, he also pro
duced Big Ten Defensive Players of the Year in Moe
Gardner and Darrick Brownlow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the
Year Simeon Rice in 1994. For the only time in Big
Ten history, Tepper had four first team All-Big Ten
linebackers at his disposal. In all, he has coached
over 20 professional linebackers, and has published
a book, "Complete Linebacking", a 312-page com
prehensive book on linebacker play.
Hardy and Rice became the highest defensive
draft duo in the history of the NFL draft in 1996
when Hardy went second to Jacksonville and Rice
third to Arizona. That stood until the 2000 NFL
Draft when Penn State's Courtney Brown and Lavar
Arrington went one-two.
DIVISION I
ASSISTANT COACH
In over thirty years as an assistant coach,
Tepper has worked at some of the top institutions in
the country. That includes the likes of Pittsburgh,
Virginia Tech and Colorado, in addition to his time
at Illinois and LSU.
Tepper began his coaching career as a gradu
ate assistant at Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to
the University of New Hampshire from 1968-71,
coaching the running backs and linebackers before
becoming the defensive coordinator. His
next stop was the College of William &
Mary, where he joined former New
Hampshire head coach Jim Root as the
defensive coordinator from 1972-77. The
1976 William & Mary squad posted the
school's best record in thirty years. He was
the assistant head coach his final year at
William &c Mary.
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill
Dooley hired Tepper as his linebackers
coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into
a consistent bowl contender with a defense
that annually ranked among the nation's top
ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech from 197882, working with Outland Trophy winner
and Buffalo Bills great Bruce Smith, among
others. The 1980 Hokie edition played
Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl.
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at
Colorado in 1983, serving as the defensive
coordinator and assistant head coach until
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped
turn around a defense which ranked No. 100
nationally in yards allowed prior to his
arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division
I in total defense. He earned the title of assistant
head coach his final two seasons, and helped the
Buffaloes to the 1985 Freedom Bowl and the 1986
Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assistant coaches at
Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

O’s, what their defense might run, basic fronts, things like that. That’s
when 1 first start actually getting ready for the upcoming week.”
Depending on the week’s academic workload, Jones may forego
his Monday film session to get ahead on a research paper or studying
for an upcoming exam. 'With the late ending to Monday’s practice,
there is not much time to get school work done, so Jones may shine
his shoes, clean his room for an upcoming inspection or prepare his
uniform for the next day before turning in.

In the team’s only two hall-pad practices of the week, the intensity
picks up dramatically as the bulk of the week’s game plan is installed.
Knowing that Ross expects productivity during Army’s grueling
mid-week practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jones tries to enter
with the right mindset.
I may go [to KimseyJ a bit early on i’uesday and maybe watch a
little more film. It might not be film on the opponent, but film on our
scout team defense from Monday’s practice.
On Wednesday it is usually the same routine. I try to get [to the
locker room] early and watch film. I’he film all depends on I’uesday’s
practice,” the Henderson, N.C., native explains. “If we had a bad prac
tice on Tuesday 111 watch Tuesday’s film to see where I might have been
messing up or sloppy If Tuesday was a good practice, then Wednesday I
might watch the other team’s film to see how they are playing. ”
For Jones, film study usually reveals the tendencies of the tipposing
defenders. While his running style relies on instinct and vision, Jones
studies his opponent so that he can “trust ” what he sees on the field.
PRACTICE WEEK
Off day.
(7 P.M.): Air pads, shorts and helmets... “We usually walk through our mistakes
from last week, and talk about keys to upcoming week. The staff has watched film and
they let us know what they think the other team’s weaknesses are.”
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY (4 P.M.): Full pads... “We go all out. We want to practice at
game speed.”
THURSDAY: Air pads, shorts and helmets... “By Thursday, you want everybody knowing
what they are doing without thinking, without second-guessing themselves.”
FRIDAY: Walk-through at Michie Stadium for home games, at opponent’s stadium for
road contests.
Saturday: Game Day.

When we are watching film, we are .seeing whether the weakside

they will react. Depending on how they play f know if the cutback is
there or if I need to stay [to the outside].”

In the week’s final full-speed practice, a non-paddetl workout,
Ross tries to bring the game plan into focus.
Thursday is called “downfield T hursday” by Ross and his staff. If
Army head coach Bobby Ross likes to give his players 48 hours off
between the games and the next workout, and Jones and the rest of the
Black Knights utilize that extra time to their advantage.
the team is conducting a play at the 45-yard line “going in,” the
players won’t finish the play until they are in the end zone.
“It’s assignment day no jumping offsides, no holding. You
want to get rid of penalties and mental mistakes, and get your
self-confidence going fcir the weekend. ”
mmti
For a home game, the Black Knights will conduct a walk
through at Michie Stadium before heading to the team hotel in Mahwah, N.J., for the night. On road games, the team’s charter plane will
depart .Stewart International Airport Friday morning in order to get
Army to its destination by early afternoon. Immediately upon
deplaning, the Black Knights head to the opponent’s stadium for a
brief walk-through and a stadium acclimation period.
With kickoff for Saturday’s game rapidly approaching, Jones finds it
difficult to concentrate in chess on Friday. Nearing the end of a taxing
week that features the expected heavy emphasis on football, coupled
with the Academy’s grueling academic and military regimen, fones
eagerly awaits the moment when he can think solely about football.

on Saturday, Jones embarks upon his game day routine.
An early wake up call, usually around 8 a.m., followed
by a good breakfast and a few' meetings, jump starts Jones
on Saturday'. By the time the team bus departs for the
stadium, Jones is already “in the giime.”
“The bus is usually cjuiet, guys are focused. On the
bus, I imagine myself making runs and cuts. I’m actually
play ing the game in my head, and going through differ
ent simations that can happen. I don’t fall asleep on the
bus because then I get sluggish.
‘At the stadium, everyone has his ow n routine.
Some of us running backs walk around the field, going
from one end zone to the other, playing catch, just to
get our hands right,” Jones says. “Then I’ll come into
the locker room and get my ankles taped. I get my pads
right. Usually I stop by the mirror to make sure every
thing fits how 1 want it so Tm comfortable.”
Through a haze of smoke, with bagpipes blaring
and the Army faithful cheering, Jones sprints onto the
Michie Stadium turf knowing he is ready to play. He has
watched film, worked hard on the practice field and
synchronized his mind and body.
For six days, he has w'alked the tightrope betw een
being a West Point cadet and an Anny football player.
On Saturday, he is a football player first. On Sunday,
he’ll return to his dual roles, but now the spotlight is

At Pittsburgh, May did not
allow a sack during his final
two seasons. That was very

ark May will be recc^nized for his
phenomenal collegiate playing career
at the University of Pittsburgh on
December 6 when he receives collie
football’s highest individual honor and enters
the College Football Hall of Fame. Don’t be
surprised if May, on his big day, deflects the
spotlight from his accomplishments and talks

Blessed with a Herculean frame (the size
17 feet that support his 6-6,280-pound
frame earned him the nickname of
“Footsie”), May was the captain and one of
the cornerstones of a Pittsburgh Panther
team that featured quarterback Dan Marino,
fellow offensive lineman Jimbo Covert and
defensive end Hugh Green. During May’s collegiate career, the
Pandiers finished in the AP Top 10 three times and appeared in four
bowl games from 1977-80.
Although he did not allow a sack in his final two seasons at
Pittsburgh and won the Oudand Trophy as the nation’s top interior
lineman in 1980, May’s individual heroics are not part of his resume.

“You see gu)^ now and maybe they go

Their chemistry illustrated to May what it meant to be part of a team
and to work hard for your teammates. They were only part of the
equation, as May recognizes that his Panther coaches were instrumental
in his success, instilling a work ethic that enabled him to excel.
“If you take a look at the guys who make it, they’re out there every
day [in practice] working and working hard”.
After graduation in 1981, May was chosen in the first round of the
NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins and enjoyed two Super Bowl
victories during his stay in the nation’s capital.

BYJON COOPER

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

Selling the run is vital. Split back Joe Schieffer lines up in the slot to the left. On the snap, he starts

corner come up to play the run, he cuts back outside and heads to the comer.

football Sims loves the most, and he makes
that painfully clear to opponents.
“I love the contact,” he said. “The idea

The way Sims combines speed and

as special as Ernie Sims don’t come around ail that often.
“Nine times out of 10 [offenses are] running
away from me, but I do get a chance to get
around on the weakside,” Sims said, displaying
the type of closing ability that would make any
state trooper proud.
The former prep star has made a seamless
transition to full-time linebacker after dominating
the Florida high school ranks as a dual threat in
the backfield. Sims’ reason for sticking with
defense is a simple, yet understandable one, even
for non-football fens.
As a runmng back, you have 11 guys trying
to take your head off,” he said. ‘As a linebacker,
you have 10 guys helping you take someone’s
head off”

game, Sims also displayed his versatility by
blocking a punt in the end zone for a safety.
“That [sack] put my face on national
television and showed I can be a big-time
football player,” he said.
Opposing pass catchers shouldn’t feel
comfortable roaming the field, however, even
if Sims’ signature play was on a quarteitiack
blitz. He still racked up five pass break-ups
during his sophomore year and loves to play
the role of gardener in the open field by
planting anyohe coming across the middle.
“[Playing the pass] gives me a chance to
hit wide receivers regardless,” he said.
At 6-0,220 pounds, Sims may not be the

t’s not unusual to see USC quarterback
Matt Leinart walking around with his head
buried under a Los Angeles Dodgers cap.
It makes sense for two reasons: Leinart
grew up a Dodgers fan and, perhaps far
more important, wearing the hat makes
him less noticeable.

the funny thing is, the most important lessons about football
haven’t necessarily come while the clock is running.
“When I first got here, I went through the motions,” the
one-time top recruit in the nation said. “Now I’ve gotten into
film work. In practice, I work on every aspect of my game,
everything we do from footwork to eye-transfer. Once [we do it]
I try to perfect it.”
The immense crowds associated with Atlantic Coast
Conference games also gave Sims an early run for his money.
But even they did little more than act as a mini speed bump on
his road to stardom.
“My freshman year gave me a lot of game experience,” he said.
“Some away games were a shock to the system with the crowds.
I’m more prepared.”
True to form, Sims tackles another obstacle in his path head on. ■

way into gossip magazines.
But after leading USC to back-to-back national titles and winning
the Heisman, Leinart feces a dilemma. Can he top it all this season?
The quick answer is probably not, because no team’s ever finished
atop the Associated Press top 25 poll three straight years. And otily
one player won the Heisman twice, Ohio State tailback Archie Grifiin
(1974 and ’75).
However, if you consider that the Trojans are in the midst of a
modem dynasty with 15 starters back from 2004 and that Leinart was
25-1 as the Trojans’ starting quarterback heading into this season,
maybe it’s not such a far-fetched idea.
“I’m not thinking about taking the Heisman again, that’s not my
goal and it wasn’t last year,” Leinart said. “It’s definitely something
special what’s going here, though. It’s never been done before
and to do it so quickly under Coach [Pete] Carroll is amazing.”
A case could be made, if USC goes undefeated again, that
Leinart is the greatest college quarterback of all-time. He’d
certainly be one of its most successful. But Leinart quickly
shifts credit to Carroll and his teammates.
“We’ve had back-to-back-to-back great seasons. As
long as Carroll’s here, I don’t think it will slow
down,” Leinart said. “We realize how hard it
is to do it again. We have a bigger target
on our back. But we’re a very motivated
team. We don’t get complacent.”
While Matt Leinart staying in
school for his senior season has
been a huge advantage for USC in
2005, the Trojans brought back 14
other starters from last season’s
national championship team.

I hope that our fans will applaud and frequent the 16 supporters listed below from our community who have
supported our players with evening snacks through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August
Snacks Program” has been a huge success. In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after
practices, conditioning and lifting. I can’t tell you how truly appreciative our players are of these generous dona
tions. This is the fifth consecutive year that the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players have
asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. In nearly 30 years of coaching at the Division I level,
I never had players respond with such gratitude.
Please support these Edinboro businesses! THANK YOU.

Since arriving in Edinboro in January 2000, I
have feit it is essentiai that we give to the commu
nity and vice versa. It has been very gratifying to
the response of locai organizations in assisting
Edinboro footbaii. Three years ago the service
organizations proved invaluabie working at the
Biiis - Browns scrimmage, and for the iast two
years have run our 50/50 raffies. Their assistance
was greatiy appreciated. Myself and my coaching
staff iooks forward to working with these organiza
tions once again this year, and thank them for
their support of Edinboro Footbaii.
Sincerely,
Head Football Coach

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

HAS AN INJURY BLOCKED
YOUR SUORINO DRIYli!?
Gk>odbye Seniors
by Bob Shreve, Sports Ir\formation Director
e've come to that time of year when it's time to bid farewell to
our seniors. Each year seems to get more difficult, in part because of the
class they've exhibited, and in part because of their role in rebuilding
Edinboro's winning tradition. Today, we say goodbye to 15 seniors
making their final regular season home appearance at Sox Harrison
Stadium. Unfortunately, space does not permit us to do justice to their
accomplishments. We did want to take a moment to present them to
you one last time, as they answered two questions for us. Good luck
seniors, and we wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

What is your most memorable moment while playing football at
Edinboro? "My best memory would have to be the trip up to Boston to
face Bentley. Tbe entire team was excited to fly (except coach Peluso and
Christopher Amico). It was an interesting site upon our arrival. It was
snowing. It kept snowing and snowing. When we puUed into the hotel
there was at least six inches of snow that had faUen. Boy-o-boy, those
beds were comfortable. I, myself, wasn't afraid of the ffying we did, or
the snow, and especiaUy not Bentley. I was afraid of getting pink eye
from those tight-knit, extremely close offensive guys. The game was a
shootout. Back and forth we battled for the lead. We prevaUed and
enjoyed our trip home. I think Chafeh even got Caroline's (the flight
attendant) phone number."
What will you miss most about your time at Edinboro? "Sure, I wiU
miss the excitement and adrenaline from playing the game. I am going
to miss most the companionship that I have had with my teammates.

aU the great memories and wiU surely miss them."

Today’s Game
Edmboro Fighting Scots (6-2,4-1PSAC West)
vs.
Kutztown Golden Bears (1-7,1-4 PSAC East)
It hardly seems possible, but we've reached the end of another
home campaign. The 2005 season has definitely been a good one,
but Edmboro hopes there are still several more weeks of action
remaining.
The Fighting Scots can achieve one of their goals next week at
Lock Haven. A win over the Bald Eagles would give Edinboro no
worse than a tie for the
PSAC West champi
onship. It would be the
third straight crown for
the Fighting Scots.
But first things first.
Today Edinboro hosts a
Kutztown team which
is 1-7 overall, but a
look at the scores says
it's a better team than
that. Consider that just
three weeks ago the
Golden Bears lost to
Bloomsburg by a 12-0
score. They were also a

one of their goals, a

weeks are a must.
Finally, prior to today's game we recognize our 15 seniors mak
ing their final regular season home appearance at Sox Harrison
Stadimn.
t The Coaches
Edinboro head coach Lou Tepper (Rutgers '67) is in his sixth season in
charge of the Fighting Scots. He owns a record of38-26 at Edinboro, and
including five seasons as the head coach at the University of Illinois, has
an overall record of 63-57-2. Tepper was named the 2003 PSAC West
Coach of the Year and was also recognized as Edinboro's Coach of the
Year. Renowned as a defensive genius, Tepper has worked on the staffs
of some of the top programs in the coimhy, including Wginia Tech,
Colorado and LSU. But his greatest notoriety came at Illinois, where he
coached from 1989-%. The defensive coordinator and later assistant
head coach from 1988-91, Tepper was appointed the Fighting Dlini head
coach on December 13,1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
Edinboro University Football 2005
Slippery Rock. But closer inspection tells us that Robertson dropped
four inside the twenty, constantly pinning The Rock in poor field posi
tion. SRU had drives start at the 7, 4,10 and 14 thanks to Robertson
kicks. And Josh Kniess, one of the top punt returners in the country,
was held to one return for seven yards.
A Look Ahead to 2006
Ryan Rybicki fell one yard short of his first career touchdown receptiorv
The re^hirt freshman wide receiver caught a short pass from Justin
Bouch and turned it into a 49-yard gain. Unfortunately, he was stripped
of the ball at the one yard line, and it rolled through ^e end zone for a
touchback.
Ob So Close
! Saturday, October 29,2005
Sox Harrison Stadium -1:00 p.m.
Today’s Grame
Era has been blocking kicks. The Fighting Scots have blocked four kicks
this year, with two coming in the last two weeks. Oddly enough, both
were blocked pimts when the return was on. Two weeks ago Chris
Avery blocked a pimt against Indiana(Pa.) and recovered it in the end
zone for a touchdown. A week later it was A.J. Cousins blocking a
Slippery Rock pimt and recovering for six points.
As has been our custom, in the last home program for 2005 we list the
2006 schedule. Please remember this is tentative, and subject to change:
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He would go on to guide the Dlini to two more
bowl games whDe posting a 25-31-2 ledger. (For more on Lou Tepper, see
pages &7.)
Dave Keeny (Kutztown '83) is in his eighth season as the head coach at
his alma mater, and has a record of 37-45 during that period.

Tlie Edinboro-Kutztown Series
EtHnboro leads 3-2
VN^th two wins in the last three meetings, Edinboro has taken a 3-2 lead
in the aD-time series. The last time Kutztown visited Sox Harrison
Stadium, it was the Golden Bears coming away with, a win, taking
advantage of a pair of bad ptmt snaps for a 14-10 win in 2002.
Last Year’s Game
Edinbtrro23, Ku.tzt0wn.i4
Haying for the second year in a row at Kutztown, the Fighting Scots
struggled somewhat before finaDy subduing the Golden Bears in what
was Edinboro's fifth Homecoming game of Die year. Kutztown jumped
out to a 7-0 lead just three plays into the game on a 57-yard pass from
Jeremy Copeland to Jeremy Wesley. Chris Aveiy tied the score with a
31-yard interception return for a touchdown, but the Golden Bears came
right back on the ensuing kickoff, as James Brooks returned it 93 yards
for a touchdown. The high-scoring first quarter ended with Kody
Robertson kicking a 23-yard field goal. Robertson added a 29-yard field
goal in the second quarter, as the Fighting Scots traded 14-13 at inter
mission. The Edinboro placekicker added his third three-pointer in the
third quarter, a 25-yarder, and Andre Burke iced the win with a twoyard TO run with just over four minutes to play. Edinboro ended the
day with 401 total yards, as Burke ran for 159 yards on 33 carries and
Justin Bouch threw for 191 yards. Kutztown totaled 232 yards.
/
This Past Week’s ResiUts
Thanks to a strong defensive showing, Edinboro kept aDve its hopes for
a third straight FSACWest crown with a 24-7 victory over Slippery
Rock. The Fighting Scots dodged a buUet when The Rock missed a
potential game-tying 40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Greg
MacAnn gave Edinboro a Dttle cushion with a fumble recovery in the
end zone, courtesy of a sack by Jim Soltis that led to a Nate Crookshank
fumble. That score came with 5:38 remaining in the game, and less than
three minutes later A.J. Cousins stormed in and blocked a ptmt, then
recovered it in the end zone for the final score. Kelvin Collins paced the
offaise with 133 yards on 25 carries in his first start at taDback, and
Justin Bouch threw a six-yard TO pass to Ryan Valasek. The defense
came up with 9 sacks, forced 5 turnovers, including a pair of Tom
Davidson interceptions, and held SRU to 240 yards. Chris Amico fin
ished with a career-high 12 tackles, including a pair of sacks. Kutztown
dropped a 23-20 decision to MiDersviDe as the Golden Bear offense man
aged just 71 yards, including 12 on the groimd. The defense also took
care of the scoring, with a pair of fumble returns for touchdowns. Matt
Scartozzi added field goals of 29 and 31 yards.
Mth two weeks left in the regular season, the NCAA Division II Playoff
picture is beginning to take shape. But as the wise man (or coach)
would say, there's stUl plenty of footbaD to be played. The Fighting
Scots are ranked seventh in the Northeast Regioa The top six teams in
the region are chosen for postseason action.

Chris Amico Honored by PSAC
Last week's performance by the defense in the 24-7 win over Slippery
Rock made it difficult to select one nominee for PSAC West Defensive
Player of the Week. The PSAC wisely recognized that nominee - Chris
Amico. The sophomore defensive tackle spearheaded the defensive
showing with a career-high 12 tackles. That included 3.5 tackles for
losses totaling 18 yards, with a pair of sacks.
Kelvin Collins JVlakes the IVlost of First
Start
\\^th the weather deteriorating, not to mention the Sox Harrison
Stadium plajnng surface, it was the perfect time to give Kelvin Collins
his first start at taDback. The 6'0", 2^ lb. saiior responded with a sea
son-high 133 yards on 25 carries, biDling his way between the tackles on
numerous runs. Collins is in his first season as a Fighting Scot after
playing three seasons at Bowie State. His north-south running style
proved perfect for the conditions.
Kutztown Game Captains
Special Teams — Kody Robertson; Offense — Justin Bouch, QB;
Defense — Seth Fragale, OLB
Let’s Give Dave a Hand
The steady rain for the Slippery Rock game coiDd have left Sox
Harrison Stadium a mess D not for the efforts of Dave Higham and his
staff. Along with a group of players, Higham covered the field on
Friday The end resiDt was a very playable surface. A former starting
offensive lineman for the Scots, Dave stiff finds a way to help Edinboro
win.
Don’t Mind Kody’s Average
The Block Party is Back On

At first glance, maybe it's time that Lou Tepper fotmd himself a new
punter. Kody Robertson averaged just 29.8 yards on six pimts against

Head Coach Lx>u Tepper
Veteran Division I mentor Lou
Tepper was appointed the 12th
head football coach at Edinboro
University, officially taking charge
of the Fighting Scot program on
January 5, 2000. He promised a
tough and classy program, and in
four short years delivered a cham
pionship team that fans and alumni
enthusiastically endorse.
Tepper inherited an Edinboro
program which had won just
eleven games in the previous three
seasons. The Scots have shown
consistent improvement in "Coach
Tep's" five years, culminated by
consecutive PSAC championships
for the first time in Edinboro history, the best two-year record in
Edinboro
history.

with
President, Edinboro University
tremendous balance
between
rushing
and passing. The defense led the nation with 42 turnovers and 30 inter
ceptions while playing stingy run defense in 2004. Truth be known.
Topper's real passion is for special teams, despite his national reputa
tion on defense. Edinboro has not had a kick blocked the last two years,
while blocking four kicks a year ago, with two blocked punts returned
for touchdowns.
While winning is important, it isn't the only emphasis at
Edinboro with Tepper at the controls. The participation numbers have
significantly increased and academic performances have soared. He
has demanded recruiting equally a combination of character and talent.
The Edinboro staff stresses a family concept and racial harmony. The
improvement academically has been so drastic that out of 80 players on
the team following spring practice, just three were faced with academ
ic probation.
The 2000 season brought a 5-6 record, rnatching the Edinboro
record for wins by a first-year head coach, and a fifth place PSAC fin
ish. In 2001 and 2002, the Fighting Scots were very competitive, setting
the stage for back-to-back championship seasons.
Edinboro made its first postseason appearance in 2003, claiming
a share of the PSAC West championship. The Fighting Scots survived
a brutal three-game stretch early in the season, defeating 16th-ranked
East Stroudsburg, 30-21, dropping a 40-34 decision to 22nd-ranked
Shippensburg, and upsetting fourth-ranked Indiana(Pa.) on the
Indians' home turf, 28-20. The Scots ended the regular season with a
six-game winning streak. During that stretch Edinboro held opponents
without a touchdown for 20 consecutive quarters. Tepper was recog
nized as the PSAC West Coach of the Year in 2004, as Edinboro finished
with a 9-3 record and an 18th place ranking in the AFCA poU.
The Fighting Scots once again finished 9-3 and tied for the PSAC
West crown a year ago, while duplicating the 2003 AFCA ranking of
18th. Edinboro picked up its second-ever NCAA postseason win with
a 47-44 win at 20th-ranked Bentley.
Edinboro University Football 2005
BACKGROUND
Tepper, a native of Keystone, PA, returned to the Division II level
after coaching at Division I institutions for almost thirty years. He is
renowned as a defensive coaching genius, with a resume that includes
three Butkus Award honorees and an Outland Trophy winner. Tepper's
list of standouts include Bruce Smith, John Holecek, Simeon Rice, Kevin
Hardy, Brad Hopkins, Booger MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current
or former NFL standouts. In addition, he has worked with some of the
top head coaches in the country, including Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech,
Bill McCartney at Colorado, John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry
DiNardo at LSU.
"Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it has been neat to be a
head coach again and to be a head coach in this environment," Tepper
related following his first season at Edinboro. "I've recruited western
Pennsylvania for half of my career. It's a joy to be back home."
Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coordi
nator at Louisiana State University in 1999. He began his tenure with
the Tigers on December 15,1997, helping LSU to a 27-9 Independence
Bowl win over Notre Dame. AH told, he has served as a defensive coor
dinator for 19 years in his coaching profession.
BIG TEN HEAD COACH
Lou Tepper was appointed the head coach at the University of
Illinois on December 13,1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced Mackovic, who left for the head
coaching position at the University of Texas. During his five-year stint
as the Fighting Illini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2,
including two more bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of
wins over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first vic
tory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consecutive
wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive,
Tepper graduated a very high percentage of his Big Ten seniors.
Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the defen
sive coordinator for four seasons and assistant head coach for two
years. In his nine seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to six bowl
invitations, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings in the AP and UPI
polls. He was honored as the Big Ten's top defensive assistant coach in
1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annually ranked among
Head Coach lx>u Tepper
the best in the country, finishing 10th in 1989,14th in
1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995.
Tepper's 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suf
fering a 27-17 defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl.
Illinois went in to Columbus and upset Ohio State,
18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie against Michigan in
Ann Arbor.
While his '93 edition finished 5-6, that includ
ed a 24-21 win m Ann Arbor against the Wolverines.
The Illini made it back to postseason play in 1994,
handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewashing in the
Liberty Bowl. The '94 squad finished 7-5, again
upsetting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once
again it was on the road, as Illinois shocked Ohio
State, 24-10, in Columbus behind Butkus Award
winner Dana Howard.
UNEBACKERS
Through the years Penn State had gained the
reputation as "Linebacker U", but Illinois could have
made a good case for that designation as well dur
ing Tepper's tenure. He produced consecutive
Butkus Award winners in Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along the way, he also pro
duced Big Ten Defensive Players of the Year in Moe
Gardner and Darrick Brownlow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the
Year Simeon Rice in 1994. For the only time in Big
Ten history, Tepper had four first team All-Big Ten
linebackers at his disposal. In all, he has coached
over 20 professional linebackers, and has published
a book, "Complete Linebacking", a 312-page com
prehensive book on linebacker play.
Hardy and Rice became the highest defensive
draft duo in the history of the NFL draft in 1996
when Hardy went second to Jacksonville and Rice
third to Arizona. That stood until the 2000 NFL
Draft when Penn State's Courtney Brown and Lavar
Arrington went one-two.
DIVISION I
ASSISTANT COACH
In over thirty years as an assistant coach,
Tepper has worked at some of the top institutions in
the country. That includes the likes of Pittsburgh,
Virginia Tech and Colorado, in addition to his time
at Illinois and LSU.
Tepper began his coaching career as a gradu
ate assistant at Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to
the University of New Hampshire from 1968-71,
coaching the running backs and linebackers before
becoming the defensive coordinator. His
next stop was the College of William &
Mary, where he joined former New
Hampshire head coach Jim Root as the
defensive coordinator from 1972-77. The
1976 William & Mary squad posted the
school's best record in thirty years. He was
the assistant head coach his final year at
William &c Mary.
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill
Dooley hired Tepper as his linebackers
coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into
a consistent bowl contender with a defense
that annually ranked among the nation's top
ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech from 197882, working with Outland Trophy winner
and Buffalo Bills great Bruce Smith, among
others. The 1980 Hokie edition played
Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl.
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at
Colorado in 1983, serving as the defensive
coordinator and assistant head coach until
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped
turn around a defense which ranked No. 100
nationally in yards allowed prior to his
arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division
I in total defense. He earned the title of assistant
head coach his final two seasons, and helped the
Buffaloes to the 1985 Freedom Bowl and the 1986
Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assistant coaches at
Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

O’s, what their defense might run, basic fronts, things like that. That’s
when 1 first start actually getting ready for the upcoming week.”
Depending on the week’s academic workload, Jones may forego
his Monday film session to get ahead on a research paper or studying
for an upcoming exam. 'With the late ending to Monday’s practice,
there is not much time to get school work done, so Jones may shine
his shoes, clean his room for an upcoming inspection or prepare his
uniform for the next day before turning in.
mmwm
In the team’s only two hall-pad practices of the week, the intensity
picks up dramatically as the bulk of the week’s game plan is installed.
Knowing that Ross expects productivity during Army’s grueling
mid-week practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jones tries to enter
with the right mindset.
I may go [to KimseyJ a bit early on i’uesday and maybe watch a
little more film. It might not be film on the opponent, but film on our
scout team defense from Monday’s practice.
On Wednesday it is usually the same routine. I try to get [to the
locker room] early and watch film. I’he film all depends on I’uesday’s
practice,” the Henderson, N.C., native explains. “If we had a bad prac
tice on Tuesday 111 watch Tuesday’s film to see where I might have been
messing up or sloppy If Tuesday was a good practice, then Wednesday I
might watch the other team’s film to see how they are playing. ”
For Jones, film study usually reveals the tendencies of the tipposing
defenders. While his running style relies on instinct and vision, Jones
studies his opponent so that he can “trust ” what he sees on the field.
PRACTICE WEEK
Off day.
(7 P.M.): Air pads, shorts and helmets... “We usually walk through our mistakes
from last week, and talk about keys to upcoming week. The staff has watched film and
they let us know what they think the other team’s weaknesses are.”
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY (4 P.M.): Full pads... “We go all out. We want to practice at
game speed.”
THURSDAY: Air pads, shorts and helmets... “By Thursday, you want everybody knowing
what they are doing without thinking, without second-guessing themselves.”
FRIDAY: Walk-through at Michie Stadium for home games, at opponent’s stadium for
road contests.
Saturday: Game Day.
SUNDAY:

-MA
When we are watching film, we are .seeing whether the weakside
linebacker likes to undercut the lineman or go around him, whether
they pursue hard or if they like to take the angle,’’Jones explains. “It’s
good to see that when we start flowing a certain way we know how
they will react. Depending on how they play f know if the cutback is
there or if I need to stay [to the outside].”
mm§>
--
In the week’s final full-speed practice, a non-paddetl workout,
Ross tries to bring the game plan into focus.
Thursday is called “downfield T hursday” by Ross and his staff. If
Army head coach Bobby Ross likes to give his players 48 hours off
between the games and the next workout, and Jones and the rest of the
Black Knights utilize that extra time to their advantage.
the team is conducting a play at the 45-yard line “going in,” the
players won’t finish the play until they are in the end zone.
“It’s assignment day no jumping offsides, no holding. You
want to get rid of penalties and mental mistakes, and get your
self-confidence going fcir the weekend. ”
mmti
For a home game, the Black Knights will conduct a walk
through at Michie Stadium before heading to the team hotel in Mahwah, N.J., for the night. On road games, the team’s charter plane will
depart .Stewart International Airport Friday morning in order to get
Army to its destination by early afternoon. Immediately upon
deplaning, the Black Knights head to the opponent’s stadium for a
brief walk-through and a stadium acclimation period.
With kickoff for Saturday’s game rapidly approaching, Jones finds it
difficult to concentrate in chess on Friday. Nearing the end of a taxing
week that features the expected heavy emphasis on football, coupled
with the Academy’s grueling academic and military regimen, fones
eagerly awaits the moment when he can think solely about football.

on Saturday, Jones embarks upon his game day routine.
An early wake up call, usually around 8 a.m., followed
by a good breakfast and a few' meetings, jump starts Jones
on Saturday'. By the time the team bus departs for the
stadium, Jones is already “in the giime.”
“The bus is usually cjuiet, guys are focused. On the
bus, I imagine myself making runs and cuts. I’m actually
play ing the game in my head, and going through differ
ent simations that can happen. I don’t fall asleep on the
bus because then I get sluggish.
‘At the stadium, everyone has his ow n routine.
Some of us running backs walk around the field, going
from one end zone to the other, playing catch, just to
get our hands right,” Jones says. “Then I’ll come into
the locker room and get my ankles taped. I get my pads
right. Usually I stop by the mirror to make sure every
thing fits how 1 want it so Tm comfortable.”
Through a haze of smoke, with bagpipes blaring
and the Army faithful cheering, Jones sprints onto the
Michie Stadium turf knowing he is ready to play. He has
watched film, worked hard on the practice field and
synchronized his mind and body.
For six days, he has w'alked the tightrope betw een
being a West Point cadet and an Anny football player.
On Saturday, he is a football player first. On Sunday,
he’ll return to his dual roles, but now the spotlight is
aglow and it is time to perform. ■
Mike Albright is the associate director for media relations
at the United State Military Academy.
Following a full week of preparation, Jones is more than ready to hit the groun
running as soon as he wakes up on Saturday mornings.

spotlight from his accomplishments and talks
of others—he has a habit of fiacusing on the
people around him.
Blessed with a Herculean frame (the size
17 feet that support his 6-6,280-pound
frame earned him the nickname of
“Footsie”), May was the captain and one of
the cornerstones of a Pittsburgh Panther
team that featured quarterback Dan Marino,
fellow offensive lineman Jimbo Covert and
defensive end Hugh Green. During May’s collegiate career, the
Pandiers finished in the AP Top 10 three times and appeared in four
bowl games from 1977-80.
Although he did not allow a sack in his final two seasons at
Pittsburgh and won the Oudand Trophy as the nation’s top interior
lineman in 1980, May’s individual heroics are not part of his resume.

“You see gu)^ now and maybe they go

Their chemistry illustrated to May what it meant to be part of a team
and to work hard for your teammates. They were only part of the
equation, as May recognizes that his Panther coaches were instrumental
in his success, instilling a work ethic that enabled him to excel.
“If you take a look at the guys who make it, they’re out there every
day [in practice] working and working hard”.
After graduation in 1981, May was chosen in the first round of the
NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins and enjoyed two Super Bowl
victories during his stay in the nation’s capital.

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

blocking a punt in the end zone for a safety.
“That [sack] put my face on national

Opposing pass catchers shouldn’t feel

the funny thing is, the most important lessons about football
haven’t necessarily come while the clock is running.

But even they did little more than act as a mini speed bump on
his road to stardom.

“Some away games were a shock to the system with the crowds.

way into gossip magazines.
But after leading USC to back-to-back national titles and winning
the Heisman, Leinart feces a dilemma. Can he top it all this season?
The quick answer is probably not, because no team’s ever finished
atop the Associated Press top 25 poll three straight years. And otily
one player won the Heisman twice, Ohio State tailback Archie Grifiin
(1974 and ’75).
However, if you consider that the Trojans are in the midst of a
modem dynasty with 15 starters back from 2004 and that Leinart was
25-1 as the Trojans’ starting quarterback heading into this season,
maybe it’s not such a far-fetched idea.
“I’m not thinking about taking the Heisman again, that’s not my
goal and it wasn’t last year,” Leinart said. “It’s definitely something
special what’s going here, though. It’s never been done before
and to do it so quickly under Coach [Pete] Carroll is amazing.”
A case could be made, if USC goes undefeated again, that
Leinart is the greatest college quarterback of all-time. He’d
certainly be one of its most successful. But Leinart quickly
shifts credit to Carroll and his teammates.
“We’ve had back-to-back-to-back great seasons. As
long as Carroll’s here, I don’t think it will slow
down,” Leinart said. “We realize how hard it
is to do it again. We have a bigger target
on our back. But we’re a very motivated
team. We don’t get complacent.”
While Matt Leinart staying in
school for his senior season has
been a huge advantage for USC in
2005, the Trojans brought back 14
other starters from last season’s
national championship team.

In 1983, David Williams led the ini on a
magical 9-0 run through the Big Ten schedule
wnning games they weren’t ei^ed to win ’
as well as earning their first conference titie in
^0 years and a trip to ihe Rose Bowl.
“We were up, 10-6, against Michigan,
and whoever didn’t score next was going to
be in trouble,” said Williams. “We were 46
yards away, and on the first play of the
\ fourfe quarter, I caught a pass, went over
the middle, outraced the defender and dove
into the end zone.
“The fans wound up picking me up off
the ground. We won the game, 16-6 in
Champagne, and it turned out to be huge.”
Needlep to say, Williams' heroics touched
off a mild celebration in Champagne.
“The fans were incredible," Williams
noted. “At most schools, ffiey stop you from
tearing the goal posts down. When we won
they must have said, ‘We’ll buy new posts.’"'
During his career at Illinois, David
Williams averaged over 13 yards per
catch while hauling in 245 receptionsincluding 101 in 1984.
"When everyone saw me, they got
real quiet,” said Williams, sounding so
confident and enthusiastic you get the
feeling he’d be willing to play today
“When the whole defense looks at you,
that’s when you knowyou’ve arrived.”

I hope that our fans will applaud and frequent the 16 supporters listed below from our community who have
supported our players with evening snacks through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August
Snacks Program” has been a huge success. In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after
practices, conditioning and lifting. I can’t tell you how truly appreciative our players are of these generous dona
tions. This is the fifth consecutive year that the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players have
asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. In nearly 30 years of coaching at the Division I level,
I never had players respond with such gratitude.
Please support these Edinboro businesses! THANK YOU.

Since arriving in Edinboro in January 2000, I
have feit it is essentiai that we give to the commu
nity and vice versa. It has been very gratifying to
the response of locai organizations in assisting
Edinboro footbaii. Three years ago the service
organizations proved invaluabie working at the
Biiis - Browns scrimmage, and for the iast two
years have run our 50/50 raffies. Their assistance
was greatiy appreciated. Myself and my coaching
staff iooks forward to working with these organiza
tions once again this year, and thank them for
their support of Edinboro Footbaii.
Sincerely,
Head Football Coach

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

HAS AN INJURY BLOCKED
YOUR SUORINO DRIYli!?
Gk>odbye Seniors
by Bob Shreve, Sports Ir\formation Director
e've come to that time of year when it's time to bid farewell to
our seniors. Each year seems to get more difficult, in part because of the
class they've exhibited, and in part because of their role in rebuilding
Edinboro's winning tradition. Today, we say goodbye to 15 seniors
making their final regular season home appearance at Sox Harrison
Stadium. Unfortunately, space does not permit us to do justice to their
accomplishments. We did want to take a moment to present them to
you one last time, as they answered two questions for us. Good luck
seniors, and we wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

JUSTIN BOUGH (QB, Brackenridge, PA)

SETH FRAGALE (DE, Emporium, PA)
What is your most memorable moment while playing football at
Edinboro? "My best memory would have to be the trip up to Boston to
face Bentley. Tbe entire team was excited to fly (except coach Peluso and
Christopher Amico). It was an interesting site upon our arrival. It was
snowing. It kept snowing and snowing. When we puUed into the hotel
there was at least six inches of snow that had faUen. Boy-o-boy, those
beds were comfortable. I, myself, wasn't afraid of the ffying we did, or
the snow, and especiaUy not Bentley. I was afraid of getting pink eye
from those tight-knit, extremely close offensive guys. The game was a
shootout. Back and forth we battled for the lead. We prevaUed and
enjoyed our trip home. I think Chafeh even got Caroline's (the flight
attendant) phone number."
What will you miss most about your time at Edinboro? "Sure, I wiU
miss the excitement and adrenaline from playing the game. I am going
to miss most the companionship that I have had with my teammates.
The fun in the locker room, away trips, and the dance. I am thankful for
aU the great memories and wiU surely miss them."
