Welcome to
Homecoming 2002. For
the Fighting Scots, this
represents a true home
coming, since they have
not taken the field at Sox
Harrison Stadium since
September 7. Edinboro
survived a stretch of four
games on the road in
their first five outings, but
did lose their last two
contests and enter with a
3-2 record.
Okay, the question has
to be asked -- Who
schedules a national
power for their
Homecoming? Today's
contest promises to be a
special treat, as the
Indians of Indiana(Pa.),
one of the elite teams in
Division II, invade Sox
Harrison Stadium. After a
season-opening loss to
Findlay, the Indians have
run off five straight wins
contest with Clarion ranked
and are 5-1. They entered last week's
13th nationally.
Here's hoping you enjoy all of the festivities wrapped up in
Homecoming weekend, not to mention cheering on the Fighting
Scots.
THE COACHES
Edinboro head coach louTepper (Rutgers‘671 is in his third season in
charge of the Fighting Scots. Renowned as a defensive genius,
Tepper has worked on the staffs of some of the top programs in
the country, including Virginia Tech, Colorado and LSD. But his
greatest notoriety came at Illinois, where he coached from 198996. The defensive coordinator and later assistant head coach from
1988-91, Tepper was appointed the Fighting Illini head coach on
December 13, 1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He would go on to guide the Illini to two
more bowl games while posting a 25-31-2 ledger. Including two
seasons and a game at Edinboro, Tapper's career mark stands at
37-45-2.
Frank CignetlldUP‘601 is in his 17th season at his alma mater and
owns a record of 154-40-1 with the Indians and 171-67-1 in 21
years overall. That includes four seasons (1976-79) as the head
coach at West Virginia, with a 17-27 r^ord. Cignetti is the fourth
winningest active coach in Division II in victories. Under Cignetti,
lUP has appeared in the Division II playoffs 12 times in the past 15
years and have 14 postseason wins. The 1990 lUP squad went 122 and reached the Division II championship game, as did the '93
edition, which finished 13-1.
THE EDIHBORO-IUP SERIES
lUP leans 49-17-4
The Indians have won the last six meetings between the two
schools, including a 21-6 decision last year. In addition, they have
captured five of the last six contests at Sox Harrison Stadium. The
Edinboro victory was a 35-18 decision in 1995, also the last
Fighting Scot win in the series.
EAST
YEAR’S GAME
lmUanalPaJ21,Uln9on6
For three quarters Edinboro slugged it out with the Indians, but
lUP finally wore down the Fighting Scots in the fourth quarter. If
not for giving up five plays of 30-or-more yards, the Scots may well
have pulled off the upset. The first accounted for lUP's initial
score, a 64-yard pass from Brian Eyerman to J.R. Thomas. That
combination would burn the Scots all day, as Thomas would finish
with 5 catches for 202 yards. Edinboro answered with a touch
down of its own, as John Williams scored on a one yard run, but
the extra point was no good and the Scots trailed, 7-6. lUP scored
on the first play of the fourth quarter, set up by a 62-yard Eyerman
to Thomas connection. Thomas hauled in a 15-yard pass from
Eyerman for the six-pointer. Henry Lane tacked on an insurance
touchdown with 2:33 to play on Henry Lane's 20-yard run.
Eyerman was just 8 of 19 with an interception, but threw for 236
yards. lUP finished with 446 total yards, with Aamir Dew adding
171 yards rushing on 25 carries. Edinboro was limited to 249 total
yards, and lost starting quarterback Steve Tryon to an injury late in
the first half. Sean McNicholas turned in a fine day punting the
ball, averaging 49.8 yards on five boots.
LAST
WEEK FOR THE RGHTING SCOTS
In a contest head coach Lou Tepper described as "embarrassing",
Edinboro opened PSAC West piSy with a 41-7 loss at Shippensburg.
The Fighting Scots entered the game ranked 28th in Division II in
rushing defense (99.5 ypg.) but gave up 326 yards on the ground,
the most since Tepper took over in 2000 and the lOth-highest total
ever vs. Edinboro. The Red Raiders also totaled 522 yards, another
high since Tepper arrived at Edinboro. Alonzo Roebuck was one of
the few bright spots, rushing for 136 yards on 21 carries, his sec
ond straight 100-yard effort and the sixth of his career. Sean
McNicholas continued his punting prowess, averaging 48.9 yards on
8 punts.
EAST
WEEK FOR THE IHDIAHS
In a mistake-filled game characterized by penalties and fumbles,
Indiana(Pa.) snapped a 14-14 tie thanks to a pair of Brian Eyerman
touchdown passes and went on to a 28-14 win over Clarion, its
fifth straight win. Eyerman completed 12 of 19 passes for 197
yards with 3 TDs, the 12th straight game he has thrown at least
two touchdown passes. lUP also had a pair of 100-yard rushers in
the game for the first time since the Edinboro contest in 2000, as
Elice Parker finished with 129 yards on 18 carries and Aaron
Cochran picked up 110 yards on 11 rushes. Carmelo Ocasio caught
3 passes for 69 yards and a TD, the tenth straight game he has
hauled in a six-pointer. The two teams combined for 13 fumbles,
with lUP losing 2 of 6 bobbles and Clarion 3 of 7. There was a

yards.
TEEPEE
TIDBITS
lUP bolstered its lineup with a host of transfers this summer,
including six from the Division I ranks. On offense, Elice Parker, a
5'10", 230 lb. tailback, played at LSU. He has 640 yards on 99 car
ries with 4 TDs. Paving his way is Justin Spence, a 230 lb. fullback
by way of Connecticut. Spence adds 338 yards on 56 rushes. The
starting center is Khiawatha Downey, a 6'5", 315 lb. junior who
began his career at Pittsburgh. On (Jefense, Neal Wood starts at
defensive end after transferring from Penn State. He has 34 tack
les, with 4 1/2 sacks. Trent Jones, a strong safety from UConn,
leads the team with 3 INTs ... Carmelo Ocasio has caught at least
one touchdown pass in 10 straight games, with four TDs vs.
Millersville. He ranks third in career receptions with 135 ... with
Parker and Aaron Cochrane each rushing for 100 yards against
Clarion, the Indians have had a 100-yard rusher in 18 of the last 21
BOOCH MAKES THE MOST OF HIS FIRST START
When Cam Marsh went down with a shoulder injury at Tiffin, redshirt freshman Justin Bouch stepped in and led the Scots to a 3521 win. In his first career start, he threw for 353 yards, the sec
ond-highest total in school history, in the 30-24 loss at East
Stroudsburg. Bouch was not as fortunate last week, as
Shippensburg limited him to 87 yards on 6 of 19 passing.
LETS HAVE A BLOCK IWRTV
A year ago Edinboro blocked eight kicks. The Fighting Scots have
been at it again this year, getting at least one block in every game,
including a pair of extra points last week, for seven total blocks.
Previously, the Scots blocked a field goal vs. Gannon, an extra
point and a punt against Ashland, a field goal at Tiffin, and an
extra point at East Stroudsburg.

HEADGDACH
HEAD COACH
lou
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.
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” two years. The 2000 season
brought a 5-6 record, matching the
Edinboro record for wins by a firstyear head coach, and a fifth place
PSAC finish. Three of the losses,
however, were lopsided. In 2001, Edinboro finished with a deceiv
ing 4-6 record. The Fighting Scots were competitive in every con
test and finished third in the PSAC. The victories included a stun
ning 14-7 upset over 17th-ranked Slippery Rock.
Background
Tepper, a native of Keystone, PA, returned to the Division II
level after coaching at Division I institutions for almost thirty
"
years. He is
renowned as a

Smith, John
Holecek,
Simeon Rice,
Dr. Frank Pogue Jr.
Kevin Hardy,
President, Edinboro University
Brad Hopkins,
— Booger
MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current NFL standouts. In addi
tion, he has worked with some of the top head coaches in the
country, including Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech, Bill McCartney at
Colorado, John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry DiNardo at LSU.
"Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it has been neat to be
a head coach again and to be a head coach in this environment,"
Tepper related following his first season at Edinboro. 'Tve recruit
ed western Pennsylvania for half of my career. It’s a joy to be
back home."
Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coor
dinator at Louisiana State University in 1999. He began his tenure
with the Tigers on December 15, 1997, helping LSU to a 27-9
Independence Bowl win over Notre Dame. All told, he has served
as a defensive coordinator for 19 of his 35 years in the coaching
profession.
That stood until the 2000 NFL Draft when Penn State’s Courtney
Brown and Lavar Arrington went one-two.
Big Ten Head Coach
Pittsburgh
The 56-year-old Tepper was appointed the head coach at the
University of Illinois on December 13, 1991 Just prior to the
team's appearance in the John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced
Mackovic, who left for the head coaching position at the
University of Texas. During his five year stint as the Fighting
mini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2, including
two more bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of wins
over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first vic
tory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consec
utive wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as
impressive, Tepper graduated 91 percent of his seniors.
Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the
defensive coordinator for four seasons and assistant head coach for
two years. In his nine seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to
six bowl invitations, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings m the
AP and UPI polls.
He was honored as the Big Ten's t^ defensive assistant coach
in 1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annuallv
ranked among the best m the country, finishing 10th in 1989, 14th
in 1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995.
Tepper’s 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suffering a 27-17
defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl. Illinois went in to
Columbus and upset Ohio State, 18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie
against Michigan in Ann Arbor.
While his ‘93 edition finished 5-6, that included a 24-21 win
in Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to
postseason play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewash
ing in the Liberty Bowl. The ‘94 squad finished 7-5, again upset
ting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once ^ain it was on the
road, as Illinois shocked Ohio State, 24-10, in (^lumbus behind
Butkus Award winner Dana Howard.
Tepper began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at
Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to the University of New
Hampshire from 1968-71, coaching the running backs and line
backers 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 & Mary.
linebackers
While Penn State has
gained the reputation as
"Linebacker U", Illinois could
make a good case for that des
ignation as well during
Tepper's tenure. He produced
consecutive Butkus Award
winners in Dana Howard
(1994) and Kevin Hardy
(1995). Along the way, he
also produced Big Ten
Defensive Players of the Year
in Moe Gardner and Darrick
Brownlow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten
Defensive Lineman of the
Year Simeon Rice in 1994.
For the only time in Big Ten
history, Tepper had four first
team All-Big Ten linebackers
at his disposal. In all, he has
coached over 25 professional
linebackers, and recently
wrote the book, "Complete
Linebacking", a 312-page
comprehensive book on line
backer 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.
Virginia Tech
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill Dooley hired Tepper as
his linebackers coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into a con
sistent bowl contender with a defense that annually ranked among
the nation's top ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech froiri 1978-82,
working with Outland Trophy winner and Buffalo Bills great
Bruce Smith, among others. The 1980 Hokie edition played
Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl.
Coiorado
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at Colorado in 1983,
serving as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach until
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped turn around a Buffalo
defense which ranked No. 100 nationally in yards allowed prior to
his arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division I in total
defense. He earned the title of assistant head coach to McCartney
his final two seasons, and helped the Buffaloes to the 1985
Freedom Bowl and the 1986 Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assis
tant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

ATHUTIC HMD DRWE
Dear Friends of the Fighting Scots:
I think all of you would agree with me that
2001 was a year we will not soon forget. We
set our goals high, and with all the internation
al strife and economic shortcomings, we did not
necessarily attain our goals. But, it was heart
warming to see the response of our supporters
during such difficult times.
I'll be the first to admit that we, too, were
impacted by the events of the year. But the fact
that we did prosper says volumes for the loyal
support of Fighting Scot Athletic followers.
Allow me to take a moment and thank everyone
for your generosity in 2001-02.
The Edinboro athletic program continued
to grow last season with the addition of
Adaptive Athletics to our department.
It seems hard to believe, but we embark
on our Fifth Annual Athletic Fund Drive, and we
are energized by the commitment of our coach
es, our student-athletes, and most importantly,
the many individuals and businesses who have
come on board in the first four years.
Over those years we've strived to raise
funds through Endowed Scholarships, Gifts-inKind, Securities, Trusts and Bequests. The for
mation of the Hall of Fame Scholarship has
been very exciting, with the Hall of Fame mem
bership up to 140. This endeavor is off to a fly
ing start.
Once again, with no state appropriations
for athletic scholarships, we depend on fund
raising events such as the Annual Athletic Fund
Drive to supplement our athletic programs. Our
summer camp season continues to be the main
source of our financial development, but we
cannot maintain our level of excellence without
your support. Although still funded well below
the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) allowable limit, our athletic scholarship
program attempts to create the best education
al and athletic opportunities for our studentathletes.
At Edinboro University, we are quite proud
of our past successes and rich tradition, but we
cannot rest upon past accomplishments while
our sister-institutions pass us by in the world of
athletic fund raising.
Once again, we look forward to hearing
from you soon. Please feel free to contact my
office with any questions about our fund drive.
I entertain any recommendations or sugges
tions which would better our University and its
athletic department.
Sincerely,
EDINBORO UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC FUND

CLUB’S MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Organized two decades ago, the Fighting Scot Booster Club’s primary mission
is to provide financial support for the athletic program while promoting community aware
ness and involvement in the University.
Each spring, members of the Fighting Scot Booster Club will conduct a national and
community-wide fund raising campaign to support the cost of athletic operating expenses.
While student activity fees cover a portion of operating expenses, private funding is crucial
in maintaining the level of excellence the Fighting Scot programs have enjoyed in recent
years.
Your membership affords Edinboro University and its athletic program the opportunity
to offer a quality athletic and academic experience to its student-athletes. State appropri
ations are not allotted for scholarships, making the Booster Club and the departmental fund
raising efforts the sole means of raising money for the athletic scholarships.

those v\reapons in place, it won’t be a Ramblin’ Wreck in Georgia Tech. The
Golden Bears have nowhere to go but up after losing 10 straight games
to end 2001. California has a vastly improved pass rush, and thafs music
to the ears of an overworked secondary that often found itself fading away
in opponents’rearview mirrors.

The scary thing about Mills and Manning is that they each engineered
three come-from-behind wins as freshmen. How clutch is Manning? Of his
31 touchdown passes, more than one-third (12) were in the fourth
quarter. Comebacks may not be as common for Leftwich, but he’s defi

Some prefer the power rush in getting through the offensive fine,
but speed will beat power on almost any day. White has 27 sacks in 23
career games and comes off a season in which he was named the
Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. But coming off the end.
White is more than just a quarterback’s worst nightmare. He’s also adept
at producing more negatives than a high school integers lesson (41
career tackles for loss). In Gathers and Suggs, even the biggest linemen
need to keep their feet moving or they’ll find themselves helping their
quarterback up off the turf.

There’s so much proof in the pudding that Henderson’s getting a
nasty sweet tooth. It wasn’t enough that he garnered ACC Defensive
Player of the Year honors in 2001; he also took home the hardware
for ACC Player of the Year as well. In netting 150 tackles, including 28
behind the line of scrimmage, the Maryland linebacker rattled more
than his fair share of teeth and forced plenty of opponents to read
just their helmets. Hobson takes over as Michigan’s No. 1 planter, and

Thomas is just scratching the surface on the weak side. The Texas Tech

If ever a player was Taylor-made for a college system, Louisville’s
transfer is it, as he stands to be a perfect fit in head coach John L. Smith’s
gunslinging offense. In Louisville’s spring game, Taylor led the team
with five grabs for 52 yards and a touchdown, earning himself a
starting nod in September. Pasha Jackson will be one of two players
looking to replace Rocky Calmus in the middle of Oklahoma’s stout
defense, and has already established a reputation as a speedy, hard
hitting linebacker. Dickerson (6-5, 265 pounds) had an instant impact
with three stops for loss in the spring game.
Which defensive backs have the best closing speed?
2. Eugene Wilson, Illinois
2. Christian Morton, Illinois
3. Anthony Floyd, Louisville

5. Nathan Vasher, Texas
Ferocious hits aside, closing speed can mean the difference between
a long completion and a broken up play. In the secondary, it takes more
than brute force to stand out, and timing means everything. Separating

one would expect to see as No. 1, given his bulldozing frame (6-0, 225),
but as Davis proved in his first season, size doesn’t always matter on
the football field. Kretschmer, the best runner no one’s ever heard of,

Before the 2001 season, the names Thomas and Simms were

the most disappointing players in the entire nation from a year ago,
struggling with varying degrees of pressure and expectation. A little

Jenkins all but locked himself in as the starter, putting him on the
verge of exploding on the college scene. He’s got more quickness than
someone with a 6-2, 215-pound frame should have and will no longer
be just a change-of-pace player. The 5-9 Wallace is also a relative
unknown nationally; he’ll be entering his second year with the Cyclones
after transfem’ng. Although somewhat undersized, Wallace has few peers
when it comes to turning the corner—even defensive ends can’t get
there quick enough. Mills has proven to be the best athlete to hit

At 6-6, 240 pounds, one would think Leftwich is
a hybrid defensive lineman/linebacker. However, he’s
on the fast track to stardom because of his cannon
arm, rather than a hard-hitting nature. In two years as
a starter, all Leftwich has done is throw for 7,489 yards
and 59 scores. But the most impressive part of his
resume could be the fact that in his last 927 attempts,
Leftwich has thrown just 16 interceptions. Rogers, now
a junior, gave a glimpse of what could be in the
final three games of 2001 (25 catches, 629 yards,
six touchdowns). Polamalu may follow the hard

Michael is the leader of the Jackson 5. Lorenzen
has gone from starter to backup to starter in
the huddle during his career at Kentucky.
Lorenzen doesn’t get nearly the hype as many
of the other top quarterbacks, but at 6-4, 275

Grossman and Dorsey combine the best touch
with an excellent ability to read defenses.
Kingsbury led the nation in attempts and com

just 12 interceptions, quite an impressive feat in

ive years ago a school named IVlarshall rose up from the ranks of
F
the Division i-AA elite and joined the A/IAC in l-A. The Thundering
Herd’s first four years in the league brougjit them four championships
and a couple of appearances in the top 25 at season’s end.
Now, hoping to repeat this same formula for football success,
comes UCF (don’t call them Central Florida anymore, thank you). The
Orlando-based school of 37,000 students becomes the 14th member
of the Mid-American Conference beginning this year. For the league, it
means a balancing of the divisions. Bowling Green moves from the East
to the West, joining their close neighbor and arch-rival (and defending
MAC champ) Toledo. The conference schedule is now balanced as well,
with all league games now counting towards the title.
The 2001 season was a banner one for the MAC, with Toledo
joining A/larshall in the top 25 at season’s end, marking the first time
the conference had ever produced more than one team in the polls at
the same time. With UCF joining, the MAC gains another quality program
on the rise.
Head coach Mike Kruczek, a quarterback at Pittsburgh who later
backed up Terry Bradshaw with the Steelers, has seen the Golden
Knights from I-AA playoff contender through the netherworld of the
l-A independents. A move to the MAC is just what he needed to keep
the dream of big-time football success alive in Orlando.
“I don’t think you can survive as a l-A independent any longer,” said
Kruaek. “The NCAA is making it very difficult, so it was critical for us
to get into a conference.”
UCF had sat on the l-A sidelines, dreaming of being asked to join
the ACC, or that some crazy turn of ^ents would lead them into the
SEC. They watched as South RoridS started up a program that will
eventually head to Conference USA. They passed up the chance to join
the newly formed Sun Belt conference. After weighing the geographic
concerns, they chose the MAC.
“People initially thought the MAC wasn’t the right fit because we’re
way in the south and people don’t know about [the MAC]” noted
Kruczek. “Thafs not true; it’s just the opposite. There’s quite a few high
school seniors down here who understand the MAC and how long it’s
been around, and are excited about the opportunity to compete for
championships and go to bowl games. So it has helped our visibility
and the recruiting process.”
Which, when it comes down to it, is the single biggest reason to
join a conference.
“When you compete against the big schools-and we’ve got a
number of them in Florida,” said Kruczek, “the one thing they’ll talk
about is, ‘They’ve got a pretty good program, but they’re not going to
go to a bowl game. They were 9-2 in ’98 with [Daunte] Culpepper, but
they couldn’t get in a bowl game.’”

IMPACT
Knowing that defense wlH nnake the difference In conference play,
Kruczek will look for EHon Patterson (far left) and the rest of UCPs
stalwarb to finally guide the GoUen Kn^
“They embarrassed us two years ago up there,”
Kruczek explained. “We didn’t play very well; we had
an opportunity to get even this past season. Our guys
were very motivated going into the football game.
The announcement that our application to go into
the MAC had been accepted came out that week,
which added more fuel to the fire, 1 think.” The
Knights led, 50-3, at halftime.
See what a conference affiliation can do?
Marshall, DCF’s closest geographic “neighbor”
in the MAC, should also provide an interesting
rivalry. As should Toledo, whom DCF is 2-0 against,
or Bowling Green, who beat DCF at Orlando in 1999
in what Coach Kruczek has called the low point of
his career.
i
Fans of DCF may worry that the cold-Weather
games could have a rough effect on their,teanfs play.
A seven-turnover loss in the icy wind at Northern Illinois two years ago
weighs on their minds when they consider that the rest of the A/lAC
competes in places like Kalamazoo and Buffalo. But the good news
is that those same teams will sooner or later have to come to the heat
of Orlando to play, so Kruczek believes ifs a fair tradeoff.
Outside of the MAC, DCF will continue to play an impressive sched
ule that Kruaek hopes will keep the team on the national radar. Games
at Penn State and Arizona State start this season, while Syracuse will
make a trip to the Citrus Bowl. There are two recent precedents in DCFs
favor. First, DCF themselves proved they could finally beat a power
house, winning at Alabama’s homecoming last year (a win Kruczek says
felt bigger than the Super Bowl). Second, A/lAC force Toledo went into
Happy Valley two years ago and won handily.
In order for DCF football to continue to progress, they need the
comfort of being in a conference. In order for the A/IAC to continue to
grow, not just in size but in stature, close games against traditional
powers can no longer be satisfying. Coming up with big wins against
big names is the way to get attention. Marshall, Toledo, Bowling Green
and Miami have been able to do this recently. Now, by adding DCF, the
league has gotten another team thaVis'not afraid to go after the big
boys of college football. ■

QB MANIA!
The Mid-American Conference is sporting some of the nation’s top young talent at the quarterback position
The MAC has never been what one would call a quarterback’s conference. Recruiting against the Big
Ten for quarterbacks has meant the league has had a few decent guys (Gary Hogeboom, Chad Pennington,
Charlie Batch) but never several good signal-callers playing at once.
This year finds the amazing Byron Leftwich getting plenty of Heisman talk. But beyond Leftwich, the
conference is pretty strong.
“Big Ben,” Ben Roethlisberger, who was the Mr. Football runner-up in the state of Ohio, spurned
bigger schools, as in the Ohio State University, to play for Miami (Ohio) University. He is 6-6 and threw
for over 3,100 yards and 25 touchdowns as a freshman last year—this includes games against Michigan,
Iowa and Hawaii.
The mobile Joshua Cribbs led Kent State to its first winning season in almost 15 years in 2001. He’s
the first true freshman to both run and pass for over 1,000 yards in NCAA history.
Miami University’s Ben Roethlisberger
Also, the development of rising stars like Ryan Schneider of UCF, Talmadge Hill of Bail State and Josh
Harris of Bowling Green could elevate the league to QB Central status.

The MAC gives Kruczek an answer for such negative recruiting
tactics. The conference has currently two bowl deals in place with the
Motor City and GA/IAC bowls, with the looming possibility of a third. It
also gives Kruczek an important tool to use as a coach.
“Getting into a conference as old and reputable as the IVIAC gives
us a chance to compete very quickly for a conference championship,”
Kruczek stated. “As an independent, you don’t have that incentive
going into a season. 1 try to motivate my guys from a personal
thing and talk about winning each game as they come along, but it’s
a difficult thing for kids to grasp as an independent. Now you have
something tangible that you can work for, a goal to go out to be the
best in the conference, to win the championship.”
Not to suggest that the A/IAC offers easier competition for the Knights,
especially not after some of the wins MAC teams have pulled off
recently, but Kruczek has confidence in having scheduled several MAC
squads in the past and played good football against them.
“Since we’ve been a 1-A program, we’re 11-4 against MAC teams,”
Kruczek said. “So 1 think we could compete pretty quickly for the whole
ball of wax, and that’s a great thing for us.”
And the Knights should have no trouble building up rivalries in their
new conference. Last year’s game against Akron saw some bad blood
develop between the two teams.

the periphery of the big tirne.
\
The Thundering Herd plays before some of the ndtiQii’s most
rabid fans but does so as a member of the Mid-American
Conference, a decidedly second-tier confederation. Leftwich, mean
while, is on the verge of blasting out of Marshall’s mid-major orbit
and creating his own galaxy of national support.
It won’t be the first time it has happened at Marshall and,
given the program’s recent success, it won’t be the final episode.
Now a fifth-year senior, Leftwich is one of a handful of top-notch
quarterbacks with legitimate designs on the Heisman Trophy.
Though his case will be harder to make, given Marshall’s status
as a secondary l-A force, his credentials are no less impressive
than any of his rivals’. And even if he doesn’t win the Heisman,
he is sure to attract considerable attention from NFL scouts and
general managers next spring. Not a bad consolation prize.
Leftwich’s 2001 numbers were astounding. He threw for 4,132
yards, 38 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. And that
didn’t include a 576-yard, four-TD binge in a stunning GMAC Bowl
comeback against a shocked East Carolina outfit.
Leftwich stands 6-6, weighs 240 and sports a head nearly big
enough to fit right in with those on Mount Rushmore. That has
nothing to do with a self-inflated sense of self. Leftwich has a large.

and mature, melon. He also has a strong arm, a commanding
knowledge of the raucous Marshall spread offense and the confi
dence that comes from throwing for more than 7,500 yards during
his career. One can only imagine what this season might offer. Not
that Leftwich has the calculator out or anything.
“i haven’t set individual goals,” he says. “I have set team
goals. If we achieve those goals, the individual goals will come,
because that’s the position I play.”
Leftwich continues his team-first focus to the Heisman (“I’m not
going to worry about it until November or December; then we’ll
see if I’m a candidate,” he says) and the NFL (“1 play for Marshall
now,” he says), and that’s not easy to do. He could easily be
screaming for attention, given Marshall’s lack of exposure. Even
though the^erd will play Virginia Tech in a
nationally ‘televised game in September,
once the MAC season begins, it won’t be
easy to find Leftwich.
Unless you’re playing defense. Then,
your eyes can’t leave the man. He strolls
to the line of scrimmage, often having
given his teammates nothing more than a
formation and a snap count. It’s called “check with me,” and it
relies on the quarterback’s ability to pick the right play against
the defense of the moment. Leftwich estimates he does this “60
to 70 percent of the time,” a figure that may expand this year,
thanks to his experience and ability to make pre-snap reads and
adjustments. The offense is his, even though he has worked with
four different offensive coordinators during his time in
Huntington. This year’s model is Mark McHale, who directed the
Marshall offensive line last year. Don’t expect too many changes.
“They are going to be some new wrinkles, but things will be
pretty much the same,” Leftwich predicts. “If it ain’t broke, don’t
break it. We will try to improve some things, though.”

another chance for nationwide validation. More specifically, it will
be a barometer for Leftwich, who won’t get another chance like
that to impress Heisman voters and other analysts.
The Herd has had other stars before Leftwich. Randy Moss ter
rorized secondaries while in Huntington. Chad Pennington set the
school’s quarterback standard and was drafted in the first round
by the New York jets. But because the school lacks a long-term
pedigree, there are those who believe Leftwich is a product of his
opposition, not a talent capable of thriving in any l-A environment.
Pruett, as you might imagine, is
not one of those skeptics.
“1 think he’s the first player
Toiai Offense, Season: 4,197
taken in next year’s draft,” Pruett
ToueiKiowns-Run/Fass, Season: 40
says. “He’s that good. If David Carr

Pass Completions, Season: 314
be first next year. I think Byron’s

better than Carr.”
Complgfion Percentage, Career. 63.8
Leftwich won’t allow himself to
slip into any such debate. He’s not thinking about the Heisman
or the draft or what people think. He wants to improve and win
games. He wants to keep buying those rap CDs and looking for
signs of hip-hop life around the Huntington campus. (Good luck.)
He’s happy to be part of the growing Marshall legacy but not
obsessed with his responsibility to help prolong it.
“I’m striving for perfection,” he says, not the least bit arro
gantly. “I know nobody is perfect, but that’s what I’m trying for.”
That’s a good attitude Byron, just don’t expect “perfection”
from the Huntington music scene. That ain’t happening. ■______

Thirty points in 30 minutes? No problem.
“Thirty points is a lot for some people, but not for us,” Byron Leftwich says.
That was the attitude in the Marshall locker room at
halftime of last December’s GMAC Bowl. Down 38-8,
Two plays later, there wasn’t such an eternity remaining. Marshall had
the ball, third-and-10 from the 20, with 37 drops of life left on the clock. A
half-minute later, the game was tied. Leftwich hit Darius
Watts with an 11-yard scoring pass with 0:07 left. The

Not with that offense, it was an attitude that carried over

to the sideline, and ultimately, the huddla No deficit was

to score a touchdown every time we got the ball.”
And so it started. Once Marshall got rolling, it wasn’t
about to be stopped.
East Carolina didn’t do that. On its second possession,
Marshall stormed back, limiting East Carolina to just
one second-half touchdown, while rolling up and down
“We knew then that it was over,” Leftwich says.
He was right. His eight-yard bullet to Josh Davis gave

Leftwich says. “I had a lot of confidence. Fifty-six seconds is a long time.”

FNHinNSGOTS M THE PROS
Edinboro University has had a history of players performing in the
professional ranks, including three players currently playing in the
Canadian Football League.
Three-time All-American Jeremy O’Day is in his sixth season as an
offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League. O’Day played two
seasons for the Toronto Argonauts, helping them win the Grey Cup . The
6’3”, 295 lb. offensive guard was chosen by the Argos in the 1997 supple
mental draft. He is now a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Another former Fighting Scot playing north of the border is Jeff
Traversy. The 6’5”, 280 lb. nose tackle was the Calgary Stampeders’ third
pick in the 1997 college draft.
The third former Fighting Scot is John Williams, last year’s leading
rusher. Williams was drafted by British Columbia in the fourth round of
this past spring’s CFL Draft. He led the Scots with 723 yards rushing and
added 14 receptions in 2001.
Several former Edinboro players have enjoyed success in the Arena
Football League, most notably Cleveland Pratt. Though just 5’7”, 171
lbs., Pratt has prospered in the indoor football league. This past season he
played for the Florida Firecats, enjoying an outstanding season. He
ranked among the league leaders in scoring and all-purpose yardage.
Former Edinboro wide receiver Quentin Ware-Bey has also toiled in
the AFL2, playing for the Carolina Rhinos.
A number of other Fighting Scots have made their marks in the pro
fessional ranks. Denorse Mosely was a member of the Miami Dolphins as
a defensive back for two seasons, and was also in training camp with the
Green Bay Packers a year ago. He spent the majority of his first season
with the Dolphins on the practice squad before being activated for the
playoffs.
James Dumas, a defensive back two years ago for Edinboro, was
signed as a free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 1999. Gilbert
John Williams was drafted by the British
Columbia Lions in the fourth round of the
Canadian Football League Draft.
Grantlin was a free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1996, earn
ing a spot on the practice squad.
Mike Kegarise, a 6’6”, 310 lb. offensive tackle, was highly-regarded
by the Seattle Seahawks before
suffering a severe knee injury.
He spent the 1994 season on the
Seahawks’ injured reserve list.
Former head coach Tom
Hollman produced two other
NFL hopefuls. Offensive guard
Curtis Rose signed as a free
agent with the Miami Dolphins,
while wide receiver Ernest
Priester was signed by the
Denver Broncos. Priester later
played for the Cleveland
Thunder of the Arena Football
League.
Edinboro players perform
ing in the NFL date back to the
1970’s, with both Dave Green
and Jim Romaniszyn playing for
the Cleveland Browns. Green, a
running back, also played for
the Montreal Alouettes in the
CFL. Romaniszyn, a 6’2”, 225
lb. running back, was drafted by
the Browns in the 13th round in
1973, then switched to line
backer.
Dave Green
Now a member of the Saskatchewan
Roughriders, offensive lineman Jeremy
O’Day previously played for the Grey Cup
champion Toronto Argonauts.

Welcome to
Homecoming 2002. For
the Fighting Scots, this
represents a true home
coming, since they have
not taken the field at Sox
Harrison Stadium since
September 7. Edinboro
survived a stretch of four
games on the road in
their first five outings, but
did lose their last two
contests and enter with a
3-2 record.
Okay, the question has
to be asked -- Who
schedules a national
power for their
Homecoming? Today's
contest promises to be a
special treat, as the
Indians of Indiana(Pa.),
one of the elite teams in
Division II, invade Sox
Harrison Stadium. After a
season-opening loss to
Findlay, the Indians have
run off five straight wins
contest with Clarion ranked
and are 5-1. They entered last week's
13th nationally.
Here's hoping you enjoy all of the festivities wrapped up in
Homecoming weekend, not to mention cheering on the Fighting
Scots.
THE COACHES
Edinboro head coach louTepper (Rutgers‘671 is in his third season in
charge of the Fighting Scots. Renowned as a defensive genius,
Tepper has worked on the staffs of some of the top programs in
the country, including Virginia Tech, Colorado and LSD. But his
greatest notoriety came at Illinois, where he coached from 198996. The defensive coordinator and later assistant head coach from
1988-91, Tepper was appointed the Fighting Illini head coach on
December 13, 1991, just prior to the team's appearance in the
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He would go on to guide the Illini to two
more bowl games while posting a 25-31-2 ledger. Including two
seasons and a game at Edinboro, Tapper's career mark stands at
37-45-2.
Frank CignetlldUP‘601 is in his 17th season at his alma mater and
owns a record of 154-40-1 with the Indians and 171-67-1 in 21
years overall. That includes four seasons (1976-79) as the head
coach at West Virginia, with a 17-27 r^ord. Cignetti is the fourth
winningest active coach in Division II in victories. Under Cignetti,
lUP has appeared in the Division II playoffs 12 times in the past 15
years and have 14 postseason wins. The 1990 lUP squad went 122 and reached the Division II championship game, as did the '93
edition, which finished 13-1.
THE EDIHBORO-IUP SERIES
lUP leans 49-17-4
The Indians have won the last six meetings between the two
schools, including a 21-6 decision last year. In addition, they have
captured five of the last six contests at Sox Harrison Stadium. The
Edinboro victory was a 35-18 decision in 1995, also the last
Fighting Scot win in the series.
EAST
YEAR’S GAME
lmUanalPaJ21,Uln9on6
For three quarters Edinboro slugged it out with the Indians, but
lUP finally wore down the Fighting Scots in the fourth quarter. If
not for giving up five plays of 30-or-more yards, the Scots may well
have pulled off the upset. The first accounted for lUP's initial
score, a 64-yard pass from Brian Eyerman to J.R. Thomas. That
combination would burn the Scots all day, as Thomas would finish
with 5 catches for 202 yards. Edinboro answered with a touch
down of its own, as John Williams scored on a one yard run, but
the extra point was no good and the Scots trailed, 7-6. lUP scored
on the first play of the fourth quarter, set up by a 62-yard Eyerman
to Thomas connection. Thomas hauled in a 15-yard pass from
Eyerman for the six-pointer. Henry Lane tacked on an insurance
touchdown with 2:33 to play on Henry Lane's 20-yard run.
Eyerman was just 8 of 19 with an interception, but threw for 236
yards. lUP finished with 446 total yards, with Aamir Dew adding
171 yards rushing on 25 carries. Edinboro was limited to 249 total
yards, and lost starting quarterback Steve Tryon to an injury late in
the first half. Sean McNicholas turned in a fine day punting the
ball, averaging 49.8 yards on five boots.
LAST
WEEK FOR THE RGHTING SCOTS
In a contest head coach Lou Tepper described as "embarrassing",
Edinboro opened PSAC West piSy with a 41-7 loss at Shippensburg.
The Fighting Scots entered the game ranked 28th in Division II in
rushing defense (99.5 ypg.) but gave up 326 yards on the ground,
the most since Tepper took over in 2000 and the lOth-highest total
ever vs. Edinboro. The Red Raiders also totaled 522 yards, another
high since Tepper arrived at Edinboro. Alonzo Roebuck was one of
the few bright spots, rushing for 136 yards on 21 carries, his sec
ond straight 100-yard effort and the sixth of his career. Sean
McNicholas continued his punting prowess, averaging 48.9 yards on
8 punts.
EAST
WEEK FOR THE IHDIAHS
In a mistake-filled game characterized by penalties and fumbles,
Indiana(Pa.) snapped a 14-14 tie thanks to a pair of Brian Eyerman
touchdown passes and went on to a 28-14 win over Clarion, its
fifth straight win. Eyerman completed 12 of 19 passes for 197
yards with 3 TDs, the 12th straight game he has thrown at least
two touchdown passes. lUP also had a pair of 100-yard rushers in
the game for the first time since the Edinboro contest in 2000, as
Elice Parker finished with 129 yards on 18 carries and Aaron
Cochran picked up 110 yards on 11 rushes. Carmelo Ocasio caught
3 passes for 69 yards and a TD, the tenth straight game he has
hauled in a six-pointer. The two teams combined for 13 fumbles,
with lUP losing 2 of 6 bobbles and Clarion 3 of 7. There was a

total of 19 penalties for 160 yards.
THE
PIAID REPORT
Brandon Nicodemus has now started all 37 games in his career at
left guard ... Dave Smith has tied the school record for tackles for
losses held by Jason Perkins. Both have 49 career tackles for loss
es, with Smith fourth in career sacks with 23.5 ... with Alonzo
Roebuck out against Tiffin, Brandon Munson made the most of his
first start. The sophomore tailback gained 140 yards on 20 carries
with TD runs of 2, 22 and 40 yards ... Sean Hess entered the 2002
season as Edinboro's top returning receiver, but he was held with
out a catch the first three games. He changed that with 5 catches
for 113 yards at East Stroudsburg ... Ed Brown did not catch a pass
in 2001, but the sophomore tight end has three catches this year,
two going for touchdowns ... Lincoln Bufalino and Justin Lipscomb
are combining to do an outstanding job as receivers and return
men. The duo has combined for 14 catches and an average of
23.5 yards. Bufalino has returned 11 kickoffs for an average of
18.9 yards and 9 punts for an 11.7 yard verage. Lipscomb comes
in with 6 kickoff returns for 24.4 yards and three punts for 11.3
yards.
TEEPEE
TIDBITS
lUP bolstered its lineup with a host of transfers this summer,
including six from the Division I ranks. On offense, Elice Parker, a
5'10", 230 lb. tailback, played at LSU. He has 640 yards on 99 car
ries with 4 TDs. Paving his way is Justin Spence, a 230 lb. fullback
by way of Connecticut. Spence adds 338 yards on 56 rushes. The
starting center is Khiawatha Downey, a 6'5", 315 lb. junior who
began his career at Pittsburgh. On (Jefense, Neal Wood starts at
defensive end after transferring from Penn State. He has 34 tack
les, with 4 1/2 sacks. Trent Jones, a strong safety from UConn,
leads the team with 3 INTs ... Carmelo Ocasio has caught at least
one touchdown pass in 10 straight games, with four TDs vs.
Millersville. He ranks third in career receptions with 135 ... with
Parker and Aaron Cochrane each rushing for 100 yards against
Clarion, the Indians have had a 100-yard rusher in 18 of the last 21
BOOCH MAKES THE MOST OF HIS FIRST START
When Cam Marsh went down with a shoulder injury at Tiffin, redshirt freshman Justin Bouch stepped in and led the Scots to a 3521 win. In his first career start, he threw for 353 yards, the sec
ond-highest total in school history, in the 30-24 loss at East
Stroudsburg. Bouch was not as fortunate last week, as
Shippensburg limited him to 87 yards on 6 of 19 passing.
LETS HAVE A BLOCK IWRTV
A year ago Edinboro blocked eight kicks. The Fighting Scots have
been at it again this year, getting at least one block in every game,
including a pair of extra points last week, for seven total blocks.
Previously, the Scots blocked a field goal vs. Gannon, an extra
point and a punt against Ashland, a field goal at Tiffin, and an
extra point at East Stroudsburg.

HEADGDACH
HEAD COACH
lou
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.
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” two years. The 2000 season
brought a 5-6 record, matching the
Edinboro record for wins by a firstyear head coach, and a fifth place
PSAC finish. Three of the losses,
however, were lopsided. In 2001, Edinboro finished with a deceiv
ing 4-6 record. The Fighting Scots were competitive in every con
test and finished third in the PSAC. The victories included a stun
ning 14-7 upset over 17th-ranked Slippery Rock.
Background
Tepper, a native of Keystone, PA, returned to the Division II
level after coaching at Division I institutions for almost thirty
"
years. He is
renowned as a
"Wi? had an outstanding pool of
defensive
candidates to choose from, but

Smith, John
Holecek,
Simeon Rice,
Dr. Frank Pogue Jr.
Kevin Hardy,
President, Edinboro University
Brad Hopkins,
— Booger
MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current NFL standouts. In addi
tion, he has worked with some of the top head coaches in the
country, including Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech, Bill McCartney at
Colorado, John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry DiNardo at LSU.
"Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it has been neat to be
a head coach again and to be a head coach in this environment,"
Tepper related following his first season at Edinboro. 'Tve recruit
ed western Pennsylvania for half of my career. It’s a joy to be
back home."
Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coor
dinator at Louisiana State University in 1999. He began his tenure
with the Tigers on December 15, 1997, helping LSU to a 27-9
Independence Bowl win over Notre Dame. All told, he has served
as a defensive coordinator for 19 of his 35 years in the coaching
profession.
That stood until the 2000 NFL Draft when Penn State’s Courtney
Brown and Lavar Arrington went one-two.
Big Ten Head Coach
Pittsburgh
The 56-year-old Tepper was appointed the head coach at the
University of Illinois on December 13, 1991 Just prior to the
team's appearance in the John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced
Mackovic, who left for the head coaching position at the
University of Texas. During his five year stint as the Fighting
mini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2, including
two more bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of wins
over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first vic
tory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consec
utive wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as
impressive, Tepper graduated 91 percent of his seniors.
Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the
defensive coordinator for four seasons and assistant head coach for
two years. In his nine seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to
six bowl invitations, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings m the
AP and UPI polls.
He was honored as the Big Ten's t^ defensive assistant coach
in 1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annuallv
ranked among the best m the country, finishing 10th in 1989, 14th
in 1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995.
Tepper’s 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suffering a 27-17
defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl. Illinois went in to
Columbus and upset Ohio State, 18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie
against Michigan in Ann Arbor.
While his ‘93 edition finished 5-6, that included a 24-21 win
in Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to
postseason play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewash
ing in the Liberty Bowl. The ‘94 squad finished 7-5, again upset
ting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once ^ain it was on the
road, as Illinois shocked Ohio State, 24-10, in (^lumbus behind
Butkus Award winner Dana Howard.
Tepper began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at
Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to the University of New
Hampshire from 1968-71, coaching the running backs and line
backers 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 & Mary.
linebackers
While Penn State has
gained the reputation as
"Linebacker U", Illinois could
make a good case for that des
ignation as well during
Tepper's tenure. He produced
consecutive Butkus Award
winners in Dana Howard
(1994) and Kevin Hardy
(1995). Along the way, he
also produced Big Ten
Defensive Players of the Year
in Moe Gardner and Darrick
Brownlow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten
Defensive Lineman of the
Year Simeon Rice in 1994.
For the only time in Big Ten
history, Tepper had four first
team All-Big Ten linebackers
at his disposal. In all, he has
coached over 25 professional
linebackers, and recently
wrote the book, "Complete
Linebacking", a 312-page
comprehensive book on line
backer 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.
Virginia Tech
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill Dooley hired Tepper as
his linebackers coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into a con
sistent bowl contender with a defense that annually ranked among
the nation's top ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech froiri 1978-82,
working with Outland Trophy winner and Buffalo Bills great
Bruce Smith, among others. The 1980 Hokie edition played
Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl.
Coiorado
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at Colorado in 1983,
serving as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach until
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped turn around a Buffalo
defense which ranked No. 100 nationally in yards allowed prior to
his arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division I in total
defense. He earned the title of assistant head coach to McCartney
his final two seasons, and helped the Buffaloes to the 1985
Freedom Bowl and the 1986 Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assis
tant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

ATHUTIC HMD DRWE
Dear Friends of the Fighting Scots:
I think all of you would agree with me that
2001 was a year we will not soon forget. We
set our goals high, and with all the internation
al strife and economic shortcomings, we did not
necessarily attain our goals. But, it was heart
warming to see the response of our supporters
during such difficult times.
I'll be the first to admit that we, too, were
impacted by the events of the year. But the fact
that we did prosper says volumes for the loyal
support of Fighting Scot Athletic followers.
Allow me to take a moment and thank everyone
for your generosity in 2001-02.
The Edinboro athletic program continued
to grow last season with the addition of
Adaptive Athletics to our department.
It seems hard to believe, but we embark
on our Fifth Annual Athletic Fund Drive, and we
are energized by the commitment of our coach
es, our student-athletes, and most importantly,
the many individuals and businesses who have
come on board in the first four years.
Over those years we've strived to raise
funds through Endowed Scholarships, Gifts-inKind, Securities, Trusts and Bequests. The for
mation of the Hall of Fame Scholarship has
been very exciting, with the Hall of Fame mem
bership up to 140. This endeavor is off to a fly
ing start.
Once again, with no state appropriations
for athletic scholarships, we depend on fund
raising events such as the Annual Athletic Fund
Drive to supplement our athletic programs. Our
summer camp season continues to be the main
source of our financial development, but we
cannot maintain our level of excellence without
your support. Although still funded well below
the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) allowable limit, our athletic scholarship
program attempts to create the best education
al and athletic opportunities for our studentathletes.
At Edinboro University, we are quite proud
of our past successes and rich tradition, but we
cannot rest upon past accomplishments while
our sister-institutions pass us by in the world of
athletic fund raising.
Once again, we look forward to hearing
from you soon. Please feel free to contact my
office with any questions about our fund drive.
I entertain any recommendations or sugges
tions which would better our University and its
athletic department.
Sincerely,
EDINBORO UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC FUND

CLUB’S MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Organized two decades ago, the Fighting Scot Booster Club’s primary mission
is to provide financial support for the athletic program while promoting community aware
ness and involvement in the University.
Each spring, members of the Fighting Scot Booster Club will conduct a national and
community-wide fund raising campaign to support the cost of athletic operating expenses.
While student activity fees cover a portion of operating expenses, private funding is crucial
in maintaining the level of excellence the Fighting Scot programs have enjoyed in recent
years.
Your membership affords Edinboro University and its athletic program the opportunity
to offer a quality athletic and academic experience to its student-athletes. State appropri
ations are not allotted for scholarships, making the Booster Club and the departmental fund
raising efforts the sole means of raising money for the athletic scholarships.

Sooner rather than later? As much as team play gets people talking, it’s the coaches and individual players that garner all of the highlight reel

An offensive innovator, Gailey will pull out the stops in an effort to
jump-start the Yellow jackets. Although some may claim that the cupboard
is bare, he has wide receiver jonathan Smith and a pair of quarterbacks

those v\reapons in place, it won’t be a Ramblin’ Wreck in Georgia Tech. The
Golden Bears have nowhere to go but up after losing 10 straight games
to end 2001. California has a vastly improved pass rush, and thafs music
to the ears of an overworked secondary that often found itself fading away
in opponents’rearview mirrors.
:
The scary thing about Mills and Manning is that they each engineered
three come-from-behind wins as freshmen. How clutch is Manning? Of his
31 touchdown passes, more than one-third (12) were in the fourth
quarter. Comebacks may not be as common for Leftwich, but he’s defi

Some prefer the power rush in getting through the offensive fine,
but speed will beat power on almost any day. White has 27 sacks in 23
career games and comes off a season in which he was named the
Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. But coming off the end.
White is more than just a quarterback’s worst nightmare. He’s also adept
at producing more negatives than a high school integers lesson (41
career tackles for loss). In Gathers and Suggs, even the biggest linemen
need to keep their feet moving or they’ll find themselves helping their
quarterback up off the turf.
3. Dontarrious Thomas, Auburn
4. Lawrence Flugence, Texas Tech
5. Gerald Hayes, Pittsburgh
There’s so much proof in the pudding that Henderson’s getting a
nasty sweet tooth. It wasn’t enough that he garnered ACC Defensive
Player of the Year honors in 2001; he also took home the hardware
for ACC Player of the Year as well. In netting 150 tackles, including 28
behind the line of scrimmage, the Maryland linebacker rattled more
than his fair share of teeth and forced plenty of opponents to read
just their helmets. Hobson takes over as Michigan’s No. 1 planter, and

Thomas is just scratching the surface on the weak side. The Texas Tech
offense may get most of the press, but it’s the sideline-to-sideline style
of Flugence that really gets under opponents’ helmets.

If ever a player was Taylor-made for a college system, Louisville’s
transfer is it, as he stands to be a perfect fit in head coach John L. Smith’s
gunslinging offense. In Louisville’s spring game, Taylor led the team
with five grabs for 52 yards and a touchdown, earning himself a
starting nod in September. Pasha Jackson will be one of two players
looking to replace Rocky Calmus in the middle of Oklahoma’s stout
defense, and has already established a reputation as a speedy, hard
hitting linebacker. Dickerson (6-5, 265 pounds) had an instant impact
with three stops for loss in the spring game.
Which defensive backs have the best closing speed?
2. Eugene Wilson, Illinois
2. Christian Morton, Illinois
3. Anthony Floyd, Louisville
4. Andre Woolfork, Oklahoma
5. Nathan Vasher, Texas
Ferocious hits aside, closing speed can mean the difference between
a long completion and a broken up play. In the secondary, it takes more
than brute force to stand out, and timing means everything. Separating
Wilson and Morton is tough, as the duo finished first and third in
the nation in pass breakups, getting its hands on more leather than a

one would expect to see as No. 1, given his bulldozing frame (6-0, 225),
but as Davis proved in his first season, size doesn’t always matter on
the football field. Kretschmer, the best runner no one’s ever heard of,
set an NCAA record with 302 carries as a redshirt freshman (157.5 yards
per game), squiggling through more would-be tacklers than a Slinky

Before the 2001 season, the names Thomas and Simms were
synonymous with future NFL stars. They enter ’02, however, as perhaps
the most disappointing players in the entire nation from a year ago,
struggling with varying degrees of pressure and expectation. A little
confidence can go a long way, and in Simms’ case, no longer having

Jenkins all but locked himself in as the starter, putting him on the
verge of exploding on the college scene. He’s got more quickness than
someone with a 6-2, 215-pound frame should have and will no longer
be just a change-of-pace player. The 5-9 Wallace is also a relative
unknown nationally; he’ll be entering his second year with the Cyclones
after transfem’ng. Although somewhat undersized, Wallace has few peers

At 6-6, 240 pounds, one would think Leftwich is
a hybrid defensive lineman/linebacker. However, he’s
on the fast track to stardom because of his cannon
arm, rather than a hard-hitting nature. In two years as
a starter, all Leftwich has done is throw for 7,489 yards
and 59 scores. But the most impressive part of his
resume could be the fact that in his last 927 attempts,
Leftwich has thrown just 16 interceptions. Rogers, now
a junior, gave a glimpse of what could be in the
final three games of 2001 (25 catches, 629 yards,
six touchdowns). Polamalu may follow the hard

Lorenzen doesn’t get nearly the hype as many

Grossman and Dorsey combine the best touch
with an excellent ability to read defenses.
Kingsbury led the nation in attempts and com

ive years ago a school named IVlarshall rose up from the ranks of
F
the Division i-AA elite and joined the A/IAC in l-A. The Thundering
Herd’s first four years in the league brougjit them four championships
and a couple of appearances in the top 25 at season’s end.
Now, hoping to repeat this same formula for football success,
comes UCF (don’t call them Central Florida anymore, thank you). The
Orlando-based school of 37,000 students becomes the 14th member
of the Mid-American Conference beginning this year. For the league, it
means a balancing of the divisions. Bowling Green moves from the East
to the West, joining their close neighbor and arch-rival (and defending
MAC champ) Toledo. The conference schedule is now balanced as well,
with all league games now counting towards the title.
The 2001 season was a banner one for the MAC, with Toledo
joining A/larshall in the top 25 at season’s end, marking the first time
the conference had ever produced more than one team in the polls at
the same time. With UCF joining, the MAC gains another quality program
on the rise.
Head coach Mike Kruczek, a quarterback at Pittsburgh who later
backed up Terry Bradshaw with the Steelers, has seen the Golden
Knights from I-AA playoff contender through the netherworld of the
l-A independents. A move to the MAC is just what he needed to keep
the dream of big-time football success alive in Orlando.
“I don’t think you can survive as a l-A independent any longer,” said
Kruaek. “The NCAA is making it very difficult, so it was critical for us
to get into a conference.”
UCF had sat on the l-A sidelines, dreaming of being asked to join
the ACC, or that some crazy turn of ^ents would lead them into the
SEC. They watched as South RoridS started up a program that will
eventually head to Conference USA. They passed up the chance to join
the newly formed Sun Belt conference. After weighing the geographic
concerns, they chose the MAC.
“People initially thought the MAC wasn’t the right fit because we’re
way in the south and people don’t know about [the MAC]” noted
Kruczek. “Thafs not true; it’s just the opposite. There’s quite a few high
school seniors down here who understand the MAC and how long it’s
been around, and are excited about the opportunity to compete for
championships and go to bowl games. So it has helped our visibility
and the recruiting process.”
Which, when it comes down to it, is the single biggest reason to
join a conference.
“When you compete against the big schools-and we’ve got a
number of them in Florida,” said Kruczek, “the one thing they’ll talk
about is, ‘They’ve got a pretty good program, but they’re not going to
go to a bowl game. They were 9-2 in ’98 with [Daunte] Culpepper, but
they couldn’t get in a bowl game.’”

Knowing that defense wlH nnake the difference In conference play,
Kruczek will look for EHon Patterson (far left) and the rest of UCPs
stalwarb to finally guide the GoUen Kn^
“They embarrassed us two years ago up there,”
Kruczek explained. “We didn’t play very well; we had
an opportunity to get even this past season. Our guys
were very motivated going into the football game.
The announcement that our application to go into
the MAC had been accepted came out that week,
which added more fuel to the fire, 1 think.” The
Knights led, 50-3, at halftime.
See what a conference affiliation can do?
Marshall, DCF’s closest geographic “neighbor”
in the MAC, should also provide an interesting
rivalry. As should Toledo, whom DCF is 2-0 against,
or Bowling Green, who beat DCF at Orlando in 1999
in what Coach Kruczek has called the low point of
his career.
i
Fans of DCF may worry that the cold-Weather
games could have a rough effect on their,teanfs play.
A seven-turnover loss in the icy wind at Northern Illinois two years ago
weighs on their minds when they consider that the rest of the A/lAC
competes in places like Kalamazoo and Buffalo. But the good news
is that those same teams will sooner or later have to come to the heat
of Orlando to play, so Kruczek believes ifs a fair tradeoff.
Outside of the MAC, DCF will continue to play an impressive sched
ule that Kruaek hopes will keep the team on the national radar. Games
at Penn State and Arizona State start this season, while Syracuse will
make a trip to the Citrus Bowl. There are two recent precedents in DCFs
favor. First, DCF themselves proved they could finally beat a power
house, winning at Alabama’s homecoming last year (a win Kruczek says
felt bigger than the Super Bowl). Second, A/lAC force Toledo went into
Happy Valley two years ago and won handily.
In order for DCF football to continue to progress, they need the
comfort of being in a conference. In order for the A/IAC to continue to
grow, not just in size but in stature, close games against traditional
powers can no longer be satisfying. Coming up with big wins against
big names is the way to get attention. Marshall, Toledo, Bowling Green
and Miami have been able to do this recently. Now, by adding DCF, the
league has gotten another team thaVis'not afraid to go after the big
boys of college football. ■

QB MANIA!
The Mid-American Conference is sporting some of the nation’s top young talent at the quarterback position
The MAC has never been what one would call a quarterback’s conference. Recruiting against the Big
Ten for quarterbacks has meant the league has had a few decent guys (Gary Hogeboom, Chad Pennington,
Charlie Batch) but never several good signal-callers playing at once.
This year finds the amazing Byron Leftwich getting plenty of Heisman talk. But beyond Leftwich, the
conference is pretty strong.
“Big Ben,” Ben Roethlisberger, who was the Mr. Football runner-up in the state of Ohio, spurned
bigger schools, as in the Ohio State University, to play for Miami (Ohio) University. He is 6-6 and threw
for over 3,100 yards and 25 touchdowns as a freshman last year—this includes games against Michigan,
Iowa and Hawaii.
The mobile Joshua Cribbs led Kent State to its first winning season in almost 15 years in 2001. He’s
the first true freshman to both run and pass for over 1,000 yards in NCAA history.
Miami University’s Ben Roethlisberger
Also, the development of rising stars like Ryan Schneider of UCF, Talmadge Hill of Bail State and Josh
Harris of Bowling Green could elevate the league to QB Central status.

The MAC gives Kruczek an answer for such negative recruiting
tactics. The conference has currently two bowl deals in place with the
Motor City and GA/IAC bowls, with the looming possibility of a third. It
also gives Kruczek an important tool to use as a coach.
“Getting into a conference as old and reputable as the IVIAC gives
us a chance to compete very quickly for a conference championship,”
Kruczek stated. “As an independent, you don’t have that incentive
going into a season. 1 try to motivate my guys from a personal
thing and talk about winning each game as they come along, but it’s
a difficult thing for kids to grasp as an independent. Now you have
something tangible that you can work for, a goal to go out to be the
best in the conference, to win the championship.”
Not to suggest that the A/IAC offers easier competition for the Knights,
especially not after some of the wins MAC teams have pulled off
recently, but Kruczek has confidence in having scheduled several MAC
squads in the past and played good football against them.
“Since we’ve been a 1-A program, we’re 11-4 against MAC teams,”
Kruczek said. “So 1 think we could compete pretty quickly for the whole
ball of wax, and that’s a great thing for us.”
And the Knights should have no trouble building up rivalries in their
new conference. Last year’s game against Akron saw some bad blood
develop between the two teams.

(wins, attendance, bowl invitations, tV appearances), it remains on
the periphery of the big tirne.
\
The Thundering Herd plays before some of the ndtiQii’s most
rabid fans but does so as a member of the Mid-American
Conference, a decidedly second-tier confederation. Leftwich, mean
while, is on the verge of blasting out of Marshall’s mid-major orbit
and creating his own galaxy of national support.
It won’t be the first time it has happened at Marshall and,
given the program’s recent success, it won’t be the final episode.
Now a fifth-year senior, Leftwich is one of a handful of top-notch
quarterbacks with legitimate designs on the Heisman Trophy.
Though his case will be harder to make, given Marshall’s status
as a secondary l-A force, his credentials are no less impressive
than any of his rivals’. And even if he doesn’t win the Heisman,
he is sure to attract considerable attention from NFL scouts and
general managers next spring. Not a bad consolation prize.
Leftwich’s 2001 numbers were astounding. He threw for 4,132
yards, 38 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. And that
didn’t include a 576-yard, four-TD binge in a stunning GMAC Bowl
comeback against a shocked East Carolina outfit.
Leftwich stands 6-6, weighs 240 and sports a head nearly big
enough to fit right in with those on Mount Rushmore. That has
nothing to do with a self-inflated sense of self. Leftwich has a large.

draft pick.
and mature, melon. He also has a strong arm, a commanding
knowledge of the raucous Marshall spread offense and the confi
dence that comes from throwing for more than 7,500 yards during
his career. One can only imagine what this season might offer. Not
that Leftwich has the calculator out or anything.
“i haven’t set individual goals,” he says. “I have set team
goals. If we achieve those goals, the individual goals will come,
because that’s the position I play.”
Leftwich continues his team-first focus to the Heisman (“I’m not
going to worry about it until November or December; then we’ll
see if I’m a candidate,” he says) and the NFL (“1 play for Marshall
now,” he says), and that’s not easy to do. He could easily be
screaming for attention, given Marshall’s lack of exposure. Even
though the^erd will play Virginia Tech in a
nationally ‘televised game in September,
once the MAC season begins, it won’t be
easy to find Leftwich.
Unless you’re playing defense. Then,
your eyes can’t leave the man. He strolls
to the line of scrimmage, often having
given his teammates nothing more than a
formation and a snap count. It’s called “check with me,” and it
relies on the quarterback’s ability to pick the right play against
the defense of the moment. Leftwich estimates he does this “60
to 70 percent of the time,” a figure that may expand this year,
thanks to his experience and ability to make pre-snap reads and
adjustments. The offense is his, even though he has worked with
four different offensive coordinators during his time in
Huntington. This year’s model is Mark McHale, who directed the
Marshall offensive line last year. Don’t expect too many changes.
“They are going to be some new wrinkles, but things will be
pretty much the same,” Leftwich predicts. “If it ain’t broke, don’t
break it. We will try to improve some things, though.”

Pruett is absolutely right. Marshall isn’t some random hopeful
You can pretty much count on that. In addition to Leftwich’s
return, the Thundering Herd welcomes back eight other offensive
starters, including three receivers (Darius Watts, Josh Davis and
Denero Marriott) who topped the 1,000-yard mark last yearincluding the GMAC spree. Combined with Leftwich’s experience
and talent, they should help make Marshall one of the nation’s
most potent offenses. That’s another reason why the game with
Virginia Tech should be so interesting. Not only will the Herd be
trying to make a national statement, it will also be facing a
traditionally stem defense. Not that Marshall is afraid or anything.
looking to spring a world-shocking upset. But no matter how good
the program has become, the game against the Hokies will be
another chance for nationwide validation. More specifically, it will
be a barometer for Leftwich, who won’t get another chance like
that to impress Heisman voters and other analysts.
The Herd has had other stars before Leftwich. Randy Moss ter
rorized secondaries while in Huntington. Chad Pennington set the
school’s quarterback standard and was drafted in the first round
by the New York jets. But because the school lacks a long-term
pedigree, there are those who believe Leftwich is a product of his
opposition, not a talent capable of thriving in any l-A environment.
Pruett, as you might imagine, is
not one of those skeptics.
“1 think he’s the first player

Complgfion Percentage, Career. 63.8
Leftwich won’t allow himself to
slip into any such debate. He’s not thinking about the Heisman
or the draft or what people think. He wants to improve and win
games. He wants to keep buying those rap CDs and looking for
signs of hip-hop life around the Huntington campus. (Good luck.)
He’s happy to be part of the growing Marshall legacy but not
obsessed with his responsibility to help prolong it.
“I’m striving for perfection,” he says, not the least bit arro
gantly. “I know nobody is perfect, but that’s what I’m trying for.”
That’s a good attitude Byron, just don’t expect “perfection”
from the Huntington music scene. That ain’t happening. ■______

FNHinNSGOTS M THE PROS
Edinboro University has had a history of players performing in the
professional ranks, including three players currently playing in the
Canadian Football League.
Three-time All-American Jeremy O’Day is in his sixth season as an
offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League. O’Day played two
seasons for the Toronto Argonauts, helping them win the Grey Cup . The
6’3”, 295 lb. offensive guard was chosen by the Argos in the 1997 supple
mental draft. He is now a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Another former Fighting Scot playing north of the border is Jeff
Traversy. The 6’5”, 280 lb. nose tackle was the Calgary Stampeders’ third
pick in the 1997 college draft.
The third former Fighting Scot is John Williams, last year’s leading
rusher. Williams was drafted by British Columbia in the fourth round of
this past spring’s CFL Draft. He led the Scots with 723 yards rushing and
added 14 receptions in 2001.
Several former Edinboro players have enjoyed success in the Arena
Football League, most notably Cleveland Pratt. Though just 5’7”, 171
lbs., Pratt has prospered in the indoor football league. This past season he
played for the Florida Firecats, enjoying an outstanding season. He
ranked among the league leaders in scoring and all-purpose yardage.
Former Edinboro wide receiver Quentin Ware-Bey has also toiled in
the AFL2, playing for the Carolina Rhinos.
A number of other Fighting Scots have made their marks in the pro
fessional ranks. Denorse Mosely was a member of the Miami Dolphins as
a defensive back for two seasons, and was also in training camp with the
Green Bay Packers a year ago. He spent the majority of his first season
with the Dolphins on the practice squad before being activated for the
playoffs.
James Dumas, a defensive back two years ago for Edinboro, was
signed as a free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 1999. Gilbert
John Williams was drafted by the British
Columbia Lions in the fourth round of the
Canadian Football League Draft.
Grantlin was a free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1996, earn
ing a spot on the practice squad.
Mike Kegarise, a 6’6”, 310 lb. offensive tackle, was highly-regarded
by the Seattle Seahawks before
suffering a severe knee injury.
He spent the 1994 season on the
Seahawks’ injured reserve list.
Former head coach Tom
Hollman produced two other
NFL hopefuls. Offensive guard
Curtis Rose signed as a free
agent with the Miami Dolphins,
while wide receiver Ernest
Priester was signed by the
Denver Broncos. Priester later
played for the Cleveland
Thunder of the Arena Football
League.
Edinboro players perform
ing in the NFL date back to the
1970’s, with both Dave Green
and Jim Romaniszyn playing for
the Cleveland Browns. Green, a
running back, also played for
the Montreal Alouettes in the
CFL. Romaniszyn, a 6’2”, 225
lb. running back, was drafted by
the Browns in the 13th round in
1973, then switched to line
backer.
Dave Green
Now a member of the Saskatchewan
Roughriders, offensive lineman Jeremy
O’Day previously played for the Grey Cup
champion Toronto Argonauts.
