Now in the final year of his presi­
dency Foster F. Diebold will retire in
the summer of 1996 after having
served Edinboro University of Penn­
sylvania, the State System of Higher
Education and the people of Pennsyl­
vania for 17 years as the 14th chief
executive officer of the institution of
higher learning that has come to
acclaim under his leadership as one
of Pennsylvania's and the nation's
finest. Only one other chief executive,
Joseph Cooper, who was principal of
the then Edinboro State Normal
School for 29 years between 1863 and
1892, has served a longer term of
office than President Diebold.
Much has been accomplished
during President Diebold's tenure.
He has brought a vigorous educa­
tional and moral leadership, a
strengthening of the spirit of commu­
nity, a clear sense of mission and pur­
pose, and a new dimension of
multiculturalism and diversity. The
University has returned to and main­
tained financial health. Academic
programs have been emphasized and
improved, with more than 100 degree
programs now offered. A renewed
commitment to teacher education
came with his establishment of the
Center for Excellence in Teaching.
Significant facilities and grounds
improvements have been achieved,
with several of the historic campus
structures restored to their original
splendor, a student union expansion
completed, and an Alumni House
constructed. Enrollment gains have
been unprecedented in both numbers
and academic quality. International
linkage agreements with 15 educa­
tional institutions and organizations
in four countries have positioned
Edinboro University as a leader in
international education both in the
U.S. and abroad. And Edinboro Uni­
versity's program for students with
disabilities, one of the first in the
nation, continues to enjoy wide
recognition as one of the finest at any
college or university in the coimtry.
The Orange, New Jersey, native is
a graduate of Monmouth College and

also holds a master of arts in educa­
tional administration from Seton Hall
University. He has met coursework
requirements for a doctorate in edu­
cation at Rutgers University and is
currently completing the dissertation
requirement for the Ph.D. program in
higher education at the University of
Pittsburgh.
Prior to his presidency of Edin­
boro University, President Diebold
was president of the University of
Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that,
he was executive secretary to the
Board of Regents and special assis­
tant to the president of the University
of Alaska Statewide System. From
1969 to 1976, he was director of
Development and Planning at Kean
College in New Jersey and a member
of the graduate faculty at that institu­
tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was
assistant superintendent of the Nep­
tune Township (New Jersey) Public
Schools.
Recognized for his extensive
experience in the field of education
management. President Diebold's
scholarly achievements in the disci­
pline of applied ethics in higher edu­
cation deserve special mention. The
model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Col­
leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­
tices for College Presidents," was
unanimously adopted by that profes­
sional organization and published as
policy for the chief executives of its
nearly 400 member institutions
nationwide. It is the first formally
adopted ethical practices and policy
statement for higher education presi­
dents.
President Diebold has been hon­
ored by the Government of Pakistan
with the awarding of the degree of
Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­
sented at the Government House in
the City of Karachi. The ceremony
was attended by the presidents of the
several Pakistani universities holding
linkage agreements with Edinboro
University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government
5

Foster F. Diebold

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

In January 1988, Edinboro Uni­
versity hired Tom Hollman, Athens,
Ohio, as its eleventh head football
coach in the school’s history. Hollman
came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer­
sity, where he was the defensive coor­
dinator.
Hollman, beginning his eighth
year, has the Scot program back in
the national spotlight. At Edinboro,
he has earned 52 wins against just 22
losses and two ties and owns an
impressive 31-9-2 slate against the
PSAC Western Division. Throughout
his seven year career at Edinboro, he
has never had a losing season. In
addition, he has coached two Harlon
Hill Award finalists, and the schools
career leaders in passing, rushing,
receiving and interceptions. The Scots
have advanced to post-season play
four of the past six years.
In 1989, he was named the top
coach in the East Region by the
National Football Coaches Associa­
tion and also tabbed the top coach in
the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided
the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II
playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir­
ginia Union and advanced to the
national quarterfinals.
"As a coach, I have been fortu­
nate to coach at many different levels,
from high school to Division I. The
Division II level here at Edinboro is
very appealing to me in relation to
my career goals. It is a great feeling to
be a head coach at this level."
Hollman's educational back­
ground begins with a high school
diploma from Memorial High School
in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his
undergraduate degree in education
from Ohio Northern University in
1968. Three years later Hollman
received his master of science degree
in education from Xavier University
in Cincinnati, Ohio.

football team and a two-year per­
former as a defensive back and offen­
sive end during his junior and senior
years. He holds the school fecord
with 13 career interceptions and
earned All-American and All-District
honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­
sons. Hollman also lettered in base­
ball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.
A chronological look at Holl­
man's coaching career begins in 1968
as an assistant coach at Sidney High
School in Sidney, Ohio. From there,
Hollman moved on to Greenville
High School in Ohio where he
became head coach from 1971-73. His
Greenville squads posted an impres­
sive 26-2-2 mark during his threeyear stay.
Hollman then moved on to Fre­
mont Ross High School as head coach
for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where
his squad recorded 15 wins against
three setbacks and two ties. Fremont
was the Buckeye Conference champ
in 1974, unbeaten at 9-0-1.
In 1976, Hollman moved on to
the collegiate ranks where he was the
defensive coordinator for his alma
mater at Ohio Northern University.
The following year, Hollman
accepted the head coach position at
Wooster College (OH) and guided his
squad to the best four-year record in
the school history (24-11-1).

1995 Preview - Reloading or Rebuilding?
Replacing players each year is a chal­
lenge - but replacing greatness is another.
Gone from a season ago is the school's
all-time leading rusher, passer and inter­
ception leader.
Whether 1995 turns into a season of
reloading or rebuilding remains a
mystery but it is likely the program's
foundation and well-deserved reputation
will have the Scot program back in the
limelight again this fall.
Entering his eighth season directing
the Boro fortunes, head coach Tom Hollman returns 14 starters and 33 lettermen
to a squad that posted a 7-3 mark a year
ago. In '94, the Scots earned a #17 rank­
ing at season's end marking the sixth con­
secutive season Edinboro had finished
among the nation's top 20. Since '91, the
Plaid has earned two trips to the NCAA
n championship field of 16 and posted an
impressive 30-12-1 overall record.

The task at hand in '95 will be filling
the shoes of record-setting All-Americans
Larry Jackson, Jody Dickerson and Steve
Russell. What makes this season even
more of challenge is the Boro must look
for replacements while playing, arguably,
the toughest schedule in school history.
Difficult from the beginning, the Scots
open with a home contest against Hills­
dale, Division II's winningest program.
The 10-game ledger also features non­
conference road games at Division I-AA
Appalachian State and Division II power
Portland State, while the Boro's cross­
over home game from the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern
Division is vastly improved Mansfield.
The divisional slate consists of home
games against Lock Haven, California
and lUP whereas the Boro treks to Shippensburg. Slippery Rock and Clarion. A
strong road team the past three regular
seasons (12-2-1), the Scots successes in '95
will again be based on their abilities to
continue winning away from Sox Harri­
son Stadium.

A Breakdown of Personnel
Skill Positions
Traditionally a strength for the team
has turned into the biggest question mark
for '95. With the departure of Jackson and
Dickerson, the Scots lose over 12,000
yards of total offense. Simply stated, the
Boro's success offensively will parallel the
progression of junior quarterback Chris
Hart. A backup the past two seasons.
Hart has played in 16 games, completing
38% of his passes for 112 yards, one score
and one interception. The running back
spot is solid with the return of Tony Brin­
son (221 yards, 2 TDs) and the addition of
highly-touted Gerald Thompson. Look
for the Scots to rely heavily on the run­
ning game to assist Hart's development.
The wideout spot is open with the depar­
ture of big-play man Lateef Walters. Terry
Roberts, who has averaged nearly 27
yards per catch the past two years, must
step up in '95.

Offensive Line
If who is throwing, running or catch­
ing the ball is a question, then the founda­
tion for '95 will be the return of the entire
offensive line from a year ago. All-Ameri­
can tackle Jeremy O'Day is outstanding
and will team with center Det Betti,
guards Chad Wallick and Chris Barney
and tackle Tom Lavis to secure the attack.
Jesse Trevino also has plenty of game
experience from a year ago. Tight end
Todd Henne (15 receptions, 158 yards, 2
TDs) was named second team PSAC-West
a year ago and returns as the squad's top
pass catcher. John Sabo (6, 53,1 td) is also
solid.

Matt Gentile (46 tackles) and A1 Bass (32,
2 recoveries). Rich Jones (21 stops, 6
games) is also back while junior college
transfer Jeff Traversy should step in and
have an immediate impact.

Linebackers
All conference performer Michael
Sims returns to anchor the second line of
defense. Sims led the squad with 124 total
tackles a year ago including 85 solo hits.
He was in on four tackles for loss and
intercepted one pass. With the departure
of All-American Michael Edwards, the
Scots may face a void here. Jerry Roberts,
who recorded 16 hits in a reserve role a
year ago, may be the one to step up.
Emery Martin (9 stops, 3 games) and
transfer Vanroy Williams (6-2, 235) could
also play major roles for the Scots.

Secondary
Gone is All-American Steve Russell,
the team's all-time interception leader but
three other starters, with plenty of biggame experience return. Both cornerbacks, Marty Williams and Keith
Cushenberry, earned second team all­
west selections in '94. Williams was
fourth on the squad with 68 stops includ­
ing four tackles for loss, one interception
and six deflections. Cushenberry regis­
tered 36 tackles and was second on the
team with two picks. Rick Walker, a parttime starter through his career, is looking
to recover from last year's shoulder
injury. He contributed 39 hits in just six
games in '94.

Specialties
Defensive Line
Another crew which returns intact is
the defensive front. All-American end Pat
Schuster (65 tackles, 10 sacks) is closing in
on the school's all-time sack record. Last
season, Schuster registered 22 total tack­
les behind the line for -103 yards. All con­
ference end Bryan Lambert (73 stops, 7
sacks) also returns along with tackles
11

The Boro faces two holes to fill with
the graduation of veteran placekicker
Scott Rupert and the departure of Eric
Wagner. In addition, with the graduation
of Russell and Walters, the Scots must
find replacements to return kicks and
pimts.

T

Scot Success in the Classroom
Progression of the student-athlete
has always been a priority for Coach Tom
Hollman and his staff. This past year, the
tradition of success on the field and in the
classroom continued for the Fighting Scot
football program. A pair of starters, tight
end Todd Henne and safety Rick Walker,
not only had quality years on the gridiron
for the Scots but were recognized as
national scholar-athletes by College Foot­
ball Preview magazine. The pair were also
honored as top student-athletes by the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
and Edinboro University. Both students
currently own cumulative grade point
marks of better than 3.5. In 1994, Henne
earned PSAC-West second team all star
honors for his 15 catches for 158 yards
and a pair of scores while Walker record­
ed 39 tackles, 20 solo, in just six games
due to a shoulder injury.

Edinboro Hosts Hillsdale in '95 Season Opener

Edinboro/Hillsdale Probable Lineups

Winningest NCAA Division II Program Invades Sox Harrison Stadium

EDINBORO OFFENSE
QB

THE GAME
The Fighting Scots ofEdinboro University ofPennsylvania
and the Hillsdale (MI) College Chargers, two teams with
NCAA Division II post-season playoff aspirations, will square
off Saturday afternoon (Sept. 2) in the 1995 football season
opener for both schools.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Edinboro's Sox Harrison
Stadium.
THE RECORDS
Edinboro is coming off a 7-3 campaign in 1994. The
Fighting Scots, who advanced to the NCAA Division II
playoffs in 1989,1990,1992 and 1993, missed qualifying for
the post-season field by virtue of the team's 24-20 loss the last
week of the season at Qarion. EUP posted a 4-2 record in the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division.
Hillsdale won six of its final seven games after a 1-3 start
to finish the '94 season with a 7-4 over^l mark. The Chargers
outscored their final seven opponents by an average of 43-10.
THE RIVALRY
In the first-ever meeting between the teams last year,
Edinboro jumped out to a 24-6 halftime lead on the road then
held off a late Hillsdale rally to pull out a 31-28 victory.
Edinboro had its large halftime lead trimmed to three, 2421 eaiiy in the fourth quarter, as Hillsdale scored a pair of
TDs. But Edinboro All-American Larry Jackson put the game
outofreachwithan 11-yard run with 3:11 remaining. Hillsdale
scored a TD with two seconds to play for the final margin.
Quarterback Jody Dickerson completed 19 of 28 passes for
a career-high 334 yards. Lateef Walters also set a Fighting
Scot record with 12 receptions for 229 yards and two TDs.

Lowry joined the Hillsdale staff in 1980 after serving as
head coach at Wayne (MI) State University for six years. He
compiled a 38-21 -1 record at Wayne (.642), giving him a 15966-3 overall mark (.704) in 21 seasons as a college head
coach.

WINNING TRADHONS
Both Edinboro and Hillsdale have proud winning gridiron
traditions.
Hillsdale has won more football games than any other
NCAA Division II program in history, posting a 498-305-46
record in 104 years of competition (includes games played as
an NAIA affiliate).
The Chargers, who have won four more garhes than
Pittsburg (KS) State's 494, should become the firet NCAA
Division II football program to win 500 games. Hillsdale
captured the NAIA national championship in 1985, and
added a conference title in 1992.
While Edinboro has posted a 234-277-24 overall mark in
66 seasons of competition, the Fighting Scots have enjoyed
much greater success the past three decades. Edinboro is...
• 156-89-10 since 1970
• 102-51-4 since 1980
• 39-15-2 since 1990

SEASON OPENER
Edinboro has posted a 3-4 record in season openers during
the Hollman era. Three of the four losses were at Division IAA programs, Youngstown State in 1991 and Liberty in both
1988 and '89.
Edinboro is 19-12-4 in season openers since 1960.
*

/

QUOTING COACH HOLLIviAN
THE COACHES
Tom Hollman begins his eighth year as head coach at
Edinboro. Duringhis tenure, the Fighting Scotshave compiled
a 52-22-2 overall mark (.697), including a 31-9-2 mark in the
PSAC West. Edinboro has advanced to the NCAA Division
II playoffs in four of his seven seasons (1989-90-92-93) and
the Scots have never had a losing season under Hollman.
Before joining the EUP staff in January of 1988, Hollman
was the defensive coordinator at Ohio University for three
years (1985-87). He also compiled a 24-11-1 mark as head
coach at Wooster (OH) College (1977-81), giving him a 7633-3 overall record in 11 seasons as a collegiate head coach.
Dick Lowry enters his 16th season as head coach at
Hillsdale. He has guided the Chargers to a 121-45-2 overall
mark (.726) during his tenure, capturing six conference titles
and qualifying for the NAJA playoffs five times.

"We're anxious to start. Hillsdale is a very challenging
opener for us, especially since we have several new players in
key positions. Hillsdale has had an excellent program for
many years—they're well-coached and play a very physical
brand of football. They also play in an excellent football
league, so we'll need to play mistake-free football to have
success against them."

UP NEXT
The Fighting Scots will hit the road for a pair of games
against nationally ranked opponents. Sept. 9 at Appalachian
(NC) State, which was ranked sixth in the Division I-AA pre­
season poll, and Sept. 16 at Portland (OR) State, which was
tied for fourth in the poll with PSAC rival Indiana.
Hillsdale will host St. Francis of Illinois next Saturday.

California, and earned a starting job as a sophomore in 1993.
That year Schuster developed into a defensive force, recording 11
sacks, which was followed by 10 more last season. In addition to
his sack total, Schuster has recorded 147 career tackles, 14 for
losses (-42 yards), seven pass break-ups, three forced fumbles,
two recoveries (one for a touchdown) and one interception.
His lofty numbers have not gone unnoticed, as he earned
second-team All-American last year by Football Gazette and thirdteam by Associated Press and College Sports Information
Directors of America (CoSIDA). This year, Schuster is a pre­
season All-American by College Sports Magazine, College Football
Preview, and C.M. Frank, just to name a few.
That's nice," said Shuster of the pre-season praise, "But
that just means that more people will be looking at me, so I will
have to play a lot harder. I'll probably see a lot more double­
teams, but I'll just have to work harder."
Schuster also pointed out that he is not the only talented
member on the Boro's defensive line. "(Bryan) Lambert (another
of the Boro's defensive ends, who racked up seven sacks last
season) on the other end is really good, so now they have to
watch out for both sides. Besides that, our two tackles are
getting better every day in practice, and will be tough to stop.
Plus, the guys behind us are as solid as ever, so I think we'll be
pretty good defensively."

Starting his 10th season at the Boro,
Scott has coached running backs and the
defensive backfield in year's past and
now enters his second season directing
the offensive line. Under his guidance a
year ago, the Scots' front line cleared the
way for over 450 yards of total offense
per game and conference best 250 yards
per game rushing. In his many capacities,
he has guided the fortunes of All-Ameri­
cans Steve Russell, Michael Willis, Wade
Smith, Georj Lewis, Mike Barnes, Elbert
Cole and Jeremy O'Day.
Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio
State University, where he coached
receivers and running backs. Prior to his
start at OSU, Browning coached at Wor­
thington and Dayton-Fairview high
schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a

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

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

ner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gier­
lak brings both playing and coaching
experience to the staff, giving the Scot
players an added plus on the offensive
side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has
guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert
Cole and Boro All-Americans Lester Frye
and Larry Jackson.
Originally from Buffalo, New York,
Dan graduated from Edinboro with a
degree in health and physical education.

coordinator with the linebackers, and he

also helped in the recruiting duties. While
at lU, he graduated with a master's
degree in physical education administra­
tion. Prior to joining the staff at Indiana,

Jack Benedict Named 1995 PSAC Media Award-Winner
Jack Benedict, sports director of
1160/WCCS Radio, Homer City, has been
selected the 1995 winner of the
Peimsylvania State Athletic Conference
(P.SA.C.) George Heaslip Media Award.
Benedict is the seventh recipient
of the annual award presented by the sports
information directors of the P.S.A.C. to a
media professional for his or her eftbrts in
covering Conference student-athletes and
teams.
1995-96 represents Benedict’s
28th year of sportscasts of lUP football and
men’s basketball, and on television for
several years when lUP produced a weekly
football program on KBL-TV, Pittsburgh,
that was carried by the PRIME cable
network in a several-state area. He has
produced a daily morning sports show first
with WDAD, Indiana, from 1969 to 1989
and then with WCCS.
In the process of broadcasting lUP
events, from across the state and literally all
parts of the United States, Benedict has

described games involving every P.S.A.C.
university. Followers of all such teams have
invariably commcnied on the accurate,
objective manner in which he has reported
on the competition.
Originally from Mount Pleasant, in
Westmoreland County, he first worked seven
years (1962-69) as sports director of WCVI
Radio in neighboring Connellsville.
How well he has performed was
most recently denoted by his earning the
Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasting
award for his coverage of the 1993
lUP/North Alabama NCAA Division II

was his fourth PAB sports award; he was
also recognized in 1980 for “Best Public
Service in Pennsylvania” for a report on the
homeless.
Inducted into the Indiana County
Hall of Fame this past spring (1995), in part
as a result of his avid interest in American
Legion baseball as well, he has been heard
nationwide by reporting and interviews done

for the CBS
radio network.

Sports Medicine Staff and Marching Band

Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
and
Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education
The Pennsylvania State Ath­
letic Conference (PSAC) was
organized in 1951 for the purpose
of promoting and administering
men's athletic programs within
the fourteen state teachers col­
leges in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
In 1977, due to the interest
and growth of women's athletics,
the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference was restructured to
provide for women's programs.

1995 Sports Medicine Staff: Front row (L-R): Mary Ann Frank, Tracy Harbula, Sarah Johnson, Patty Lindh,
Robin Pusateri. Back row: Gary Hanna, Theresa Belesky, Brandyn Charlton, Kevin Heid, Dr. Richard Rahner,
Brian Page, Mike Buscemi, Julie Neiderer, George Roberts.

From its inception, each Con­
ference member selected its own
competitive division within the
National Collegiate Athletic Asso­

Edinboro Hosts Hillsdale in ’95 Season Opener
Winningest NCAA Division II Program Invades Sox Harrison Stadium
THE GAME
TheFighting Scots of Edinboro University ofPennsylvania
and the Hillsdale (MI) College Chargers, two teams with
NCAA Division II post-season playoff aspirations, wiU square
off Saturday afternoon (Sept. 2) in the 1995 football season
opener for both schools.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Edinboro’s Sox Harrison
Stadium.
THE RECORDS
Edinboro is coming off a 7-3 campaign in 1994. The
Fighting Scots, who advanced to the NCAA Division II
playoffs in 1989,1990,1992 and 1993, missed qualifying for
the post-season field by virtue of the team's 24-20 loss to
Clarion the last week of the season. EUP posted a 4-2 record
in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western
Division.
Hillsdale won six of its final seven games after a 1-3 start
to finish the '94 season with a 7-4 overall mark. The Chargers
outscored their final seven opponents by an average of 43-10.
THE RIVALRY
In the first-ever meeting between the teams last year,
Edinboro jumped out to a 24-6 halftime lead on the road then
held off a late Hillsdale rally to pull out a 31-28 victory.
Edinboro had its large halftime lead trimmed to three, 2421 early in the fourth quarter, as Hillsdale scored a pair of
TDs. But Edinboro All-American Larry Jackson put the game
outofreach with an 11-yard run with3:ll remaining. Hillsdale
scored a TD with two seconds to play for the final margin.
Quarterback Jody Dickerson completed 19 of 28 passes for
a career-high 334 yards. Lateef Walters also set a Fighting
Scot record with 12 receptions for 229 yards and two TDs.
THE COACHES
Tom Hollman begins his eighth year as head coach at
Edinboro. During his tenure, the Fighting Scots have compiled
a 52-22-2 overall mark (.697), including a 31-9-2 mark in the
PSAC West. Edinboro has advanced to the NCAA Division
II playoffs in four of his seven seasons (1989-90-92-93) and
the Scots have never had a losing season under Hollman.
Before joining the EUP staff in January of 1988, Hollman
was the defensive coordinator at Ohio University for three
years (1985-87). He also compiled a 24-11-1 mark as head
coach at Wooster (OH) College (1977-81), giving him a 7633-3 overall record in 11 seasons as a collegiate head coach.
Dick Lowry enters his 16th season as head coach at
Hillsdale. He has guided the Chargers to a 121-45-2 overall
mark (.726) during his tenure, capturing six conference titles

and qualifying for the NAIA playoffs five times.
Lowiy jpined the Hillsdale staff in 1980 after serving as
head coach at Wayne (MI) State University for six years. He
compiled a 38-21 -1 record at Wayne (.642), giving him a 15966-3 overall mark (.704) in 21 seasons as a college head
coach.
WINNING TRADTIONS
Both Edinboro and Hillsdale have proud winning gridiron
traditions.
Hillsdale has won more football games than any other
NCAA Division II program in history, posting a 498-305-46
record in 104 years of competition (includes games played as
an NAIA affiliate).
The Chargers, who have won four more games than
Pittsburg (KS) State's 494, should become the first NCAA
Division II football program to win 500 games. Hillsdale
captured the NAIA national championship in 1985, and
added a conference title in 1992.
While Edinboro has posted a 234-277-24 overall mark in
66 seasons of competition, the Fighting Scots have enjoyed
much greater success the past three decades. Edinboro is...
• 156-89-10 since 1970
• 102-51-4 since 1980
• 39-15-2 since 1990
SEASON OPENER
Edinboro has posted a 3-4 record in season openers during
the Hollman era. Three of the four losses were at Division IAA programs, Youngstown State in 1991 and Liberty in both
1988 and '89.
Edinboro is 19-12-4 in season openers since 1960.
QUOTING COACH HOLLMAN
"We're anxious to start. Hillsdale is a very challenging
opener for us, especially since we have several new players in
key positions. Hillsdale has had an excellent program for
many years — they're well-coached and play a very physical
brand of football. They also play in an excellent football
league, so we’ll need to play mistake-free football to have
success against them."
UP NEXT
The Fighting Scots will hit the road for a pair of games
against nationally ranked opponents. Sept 9 at Appalachian
(NC) State, which was ranked sixth in the Division I-AA pre­
season poll, and Sept. 16 at Portland (OR) State, which was
tied for fourth in the poll with PSAC rival Indiana.
Hillsdale will host St. Francis of Illinois next Saturday.

PSAC VS. MIFC
When Edinboro and Hillsdale kick it off in Saturday's
opener, it will mark the third straight season that the Boro has
opened with an opponent from the Midwest Intercollegiate
Football Conference (MIFC). Edinboro owns a 1-1 record in
those games, dropping a 23-9 home decision to Ferris State in
1993, and rebounding to beat Hillsdale 31-28 on the road last
season.
In another season opener which pits the PSAC vs. the
MIFC, Indiana University of PA wiU travel to Grand Valley
State. Last season, lUP rallied from a 33-14 deficit in their
first game to defeat GVSU, 35-33.
Overall in 1994, the PSAC held a 4-1 record vs. MIFC
opponents. However, in those five games the average margin
ofvictory was only four points. The only PSAC loss occurred
in the NCAA II playoffs when Ferris State upended West
Chester, 43-40.
EXPERIENCED DEFENSES
Saturday's showdown will showcase two teams that should
be very good defensively once again.
The Scots feature six returning starters on defense led by
an excellent pair of ends, senior All-American Pat Schuster
and senior Bryan Lambert, and the team's leading tackier
from a year ago, senior linebacker Michael Sims.
Schuster had 10 sacks last year to pull within four of
Edinboro's all-time record of 25.5, while Lambert had seven
sacks to go along with 73 stops.
Sims had a team-leading 124 tackles playing the middle for
the Boro. This year Sims will move outside, where he posted
84 tackles, and a team-high ten pass break-ups as a freshman.
In the secondary, the Plaid will be strong at the comers with
AU-PSAC selections Marty Williams (68 TT, 4 TFL) and
Keith Cushcnberry (37 TT, 2 ints), but must replace both
starting safeties from a season ago.
The Chargers return seven starters from a defense which
led the rugged MIFC, and ranked 11th nationally, yielding
just 303.3 total yards per game.
Leading the defensive troops will be senior All-American
free safety Scott Elwer, who has picked off a Hillsdale record
18 interceptions during his career, including a single-season
record of 10 in 1994. Elwer got off to a fine start in last year's
opener against the Boro, snaring two misplaced aerials.
Several other key players return on defense for Hillsdale,
includingjuniorlinebackerScottDuncan(l 13 total tackles in
'94), senior right tackle Darrell DeWitt (50TT, 7 TFL), junior
middle linebacker Corey Knight (48 TT) and junior strong
safety Jim Manens (60 TT, 3 ints).
RUNNERS LOOK TO EXTEND 100-YARD STREAK
Edinboro All-American mnning back Larry Jackson ran
for more than 100 yards in each of his last 16 games as a
Fighting Scot.
This season, Edinboro hopes to continue the tradition of
stellar mnning backs with a deep backfield led by leading

returning msherTony Brinson and highly touted newcomer
Gerald Thompson.
Brinson is the team's leading msher among returnees, as he
gained 221 yards on 45 carries (4.9 ype) in 1994. Thompson
was selected the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic
League (WPJAL) high school player of the year in 1992 at
Woodland Hills after mshing for 1,639 yards and 25 TDs.
Thompson originally signed to play at the University of
Pittsburgh, but transferred to Edinboro in 1993 and participated
in spring drills this year.
Edinboro's offensive line should give the backs a chance to
continue the string of 100-yard games as all five starters
return from a year ago, led by All-American guard Jeremy
O'Day (6-3,280) and co-captain Det Betti (6-3,278) anchoring
the line from his center position.
While the Scots no longer have record-setting quarterback
Jody Dickerson, junior Chris Hart looks to use his experience
in the program in a positive way as the team's starter. He'll
have a talented unit of receivers, led by Mesa Junior College
transfer Gilben Grantlin, who had 35 catches for 785 yards
and 11 TDs last year.
HILLSDALE ON OFFENSE
Offensively, Hillsdale returns five starters from a unit that
averaged 35 points per game last season. The strong point of
the Chargers' attack is the line, where All-American Brad
Affholter returns at guard and junior Jay Szykowny returns
at tackle.
Senior tailback Anthony McCree is the Chargers' top
returning msher, recording 814 yards and 10 touchdowns on
186 carries last year, while senior tight end Aaron Petersen
leads the list of returning receivers after making 22 catches for
258 yards and four scores in '94.
Sophomore Ralph Tmitt makes his debut at quarterback,
replacing Greg Younger who completed 56.6 percent of his
passes for 1,899 yards with 19 TDs and 11 interceptions.
A PEEK AHEAD
If you watched ESPN's telecast of the University of
Nebraska's win Thursday night over Oklahoma State
University, you may have cringed a little when the sports
network flashed the halftime score of the Fighting Scots next
opponent, Appalachian (N.C.) State University.
The Mountaineers, ranked sixth in the NCAA Division IAA pre-season poll, led Atlantic Coast Conference member
Wake Forest University 24-0 at intennission, before settling
for a 24-22 road victory.
Edinboro plays at Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. next
Saturday (Sept. 9) in a 7 p.m. contest.
It doesn’t get any easier the following week as the Scots
travel cross-country for a showdown with Portland (OR)
State University. The Vikings were ranked No. 4 in the
NCAA Division II pre-season poll. This is their final season
of Division II competition before moving up to NCAA
Division I-AA next year.
