The Coaches
Scott Browning (Ohio State 'SI) took over as Edinboro's 13th head coach
on January 5,2006. He was certainly no stranger to Fighting Scot football,
however, serving as an assistant coach for the previous twenty years.
While at Edinboro he has coached the offensive linemen, defensive backs
and running backs, along with serving as the offensive coordinator.
Browning became the first head coach at Edinboro to debut with a win
since Bill McDonald in 1969 when the Fighting Scots opened the 2006
season with a 28-14 win at West Chester. Even more incredible, he be
came the first coach since Sox Harrison in 1926, the first year of football
at Edinboro, to win his first two games. (For more on Scott Brooming, see
pages 6-7.)
John Luckhardt (Purdue '68) became Cal's head coach in 2002 after an
illustrious 17-year tenure at Washington & Jefferson. Luckhardt guided
The Presidents to a 137-37-2 record, winning 13 Presidents' Athletic Con
ference titles. W&J made 11 appearances in the NCAA Division III Play
offs, reaching the championship game twice. He is now in his fifth season
at Cal, showing a 27-20 ledger. He has guided the Vulcans to back-toback winning seasons, something hadn't happened since 1986-87, and
last year's PSAC West co-title was the first championship in 21 years. In
addition, the eight wins were the most since 1984.
The Edinhoro-CalifbmiaCPa.) Series
Tied cd 35-35-2
The Last Meeting
2005 — C€difomiaCPa.) 36, Edinboro 26
Cal rallied for two touchdowns in the final seven-plus minutes of the
game to overcome a 26-22 deficit. The see-saw affair saw the lead change
hands seven times, with the Vulcans grabbing the lead for good on a 23yard pass from Joe Ruggiero to Nate Forse with 7:05 remaining. It was
Ruggiero's third TD pass of the game.
;
Edinboro proceeded to drive down to the Cal 17, but a tipped pass
ended up in the hands of Antwjuan Cox, who returned the pickoff 58
yards, aided by a penalty, to the Boro 17. Antoine Bagwell scored three
plays later on an 18-yard nm with 1:48 to play to put the game out of
reach.
The Fighting Scots finished the day with 369 yards, with Justin Bouch
completing 23 of 36 passes for 242 yards and a TD, although he threw
three interceptions. C.J. Trivisonno enjoyed his finest day as a Fighting
scot with 6 catches for 68 yards and a TD. Kelvin Collins paced the
grormd game with 17 carries for 90 yards.
Cal ran up 404 total yards, with Ruggiero completing 24 of 35 passes
for 294 yards. Forse hauled in 10 passes for 121 yards. BagweU added 109
yards on 21 rushes.
Last Week’s Games
IndianaCPa.) 23, Edinboro 20 ot
After rallying from a 17-7 deficit entering the fourth quarter, the
Fighting Scots squandered a late lead to lose in overtime. Nick Wallace
sent the game into overtime with a 25-yard field goal as time expired,
then booted a 37-yarder to give lUP the win.
Edinboro took the opening kickoff and drove 69 yards, with Trevor
Harris hooking up with Ryan Valasek for a 20-yard touchdown. The
Scots proceeded to turn the ball over four times the rest of the half, with
one halting a drive inside the lUP ten yard line, and another resulting in
a fumble return for a touchdown.
Following a scoreless third period, Edinboro scored twice in the first
eight minutes of the fourth stanze to grab a 20-17 lead. Harris found Kyle
Witucki for a 15-yard pass early in the period, and Ulysee "Spud" Davis
added a one-yard scoring run with 7:46 to play. The extra point was
missed after the second touchdown, however.
Edinboro got the ball first in overtime, but failed to score when Kody
Robertson's 40-yard field attempt was no good.
Cal\fomiaCEa.) 51, Eock. Haven y
The Vulcans had no problems with backup quarterback Matt Hum
bert at the controls, rolling to a 37-0 first-quarter lead. Brandon Lom
bardy scored on runs of 8 and 89 yards in the first five minutes of the
game, and Josh Kemp returned an interception and a fumble for scores.
Cal finished with 337 yards while limiting the Bald Eagles to 178.
The Vulcan defense limited LHU to just four net yards rushing and came
up with four turnovers and three sacks.

Cahfomia(Pa.) finished in a tie with Edinboro for the PSAC West crown,
its first divisional title in 21 years. The Vulcans entered the season as the
preseason favorites in the PSAC West... the Cal offense features a veteran
group, with six seniors and a graduate student in the starting lineup,
dong with a big front line. Four of the five starters tip the scales at better
than 300 poimds, with an average of 303.4 lbs. per man. The unit, which
has not allowed a sack in five games, is led by Tim McCutcheon, a 305
lb. junior center who was a first team All-PSAC West choice at guard in
2005 ... the offense also has seven players who previously played at an
other school. That includes Brandon Lombardy, a 224 lb. tailback who
began his career at Purdue, Nate Forse, a wide receiver who was at West
\Trginia, and Joe Ruggiero, the starting quarterback and a transfer from
Wayne State. Lombardy is second in the PSAC with 628 yards rushing,
witii 10 TDs. Forse and Ruggiero were both first team all-conference se
lections a year ago. Forse has 22 catches, while Ruggiero has thrown for
799 yards and 7 TDs despite sitting out last week's game... Marc Hud
dleston is a former transfer from Purdue who leads the Vulcans with 27
catches and 5 TDs while playing in a reserve role... the defense added a
trio of transfers this year in DE Kirby Griffin (lUP), CB Travis Williams
(Toledo), and FS Jermaine More (West Virginia).
Scots Need to Rev Up Ground Game
Edinboro head coach Scott Browning is a firm believer in a strong run
ning game. It is clearly evident that the Fighting Scots have a much better
chance to win when they can run the football. Consider that in Edin
boro's three wins the Fighting Scots are averaging 195.7 yards per game
on the ground. In the two losses, the Fighting Scots have totaled 42 vs.
Bloomsburg and 54 against Indiana(Pa.).
Edinboro Suffers Back-to-Back Home
Losses for First Time Since 2002
With losses to Bloomsburg and lndiana(Pa.) in the last two home games,
Edinboro has dropped back-to-back home games for the first time since
2002. That season the Fighting Scots lost to Indiana(Pa.), Clarion and
Kutztown in succession.
Pickle Now Tied for 6tb in Receptions
Ryan Valasek posted his second straight 100-yard game and third of his
career with 4 catches for 115 yards against Indiana(Pa.). That helped
move the senior wide receiver into a tie for sixth place in career receptions
with 91. He is tied with Lateef Walters and lim Beacham. He is also tied
for fourth in career touchdown receptions with 16 after hauling in a 20yarder last week. Finally, he sits in eighth place in career receiving yards
with 1,635.
Harris Not Playing Like a Freshman
Edinboro has outscored the opposition 65-7 in those two periods.
Quarterly Report — Vulcan Style
Califomia(Pa.) has also been stingy in the first quarter. In fact, the Vul
cans have yet to give up a point in the opening 15 minutes. The Vulcans
are known for their quick starts, holding a 64-0 lead after one quarter
and 118-34 advantage in the first half. Consider that Cal led Cheyney
40-0 at the half, and this past week was ahead 37-7 at the half.
Next for the Fighting Scots
Edinboro concludes a three-game homestand on Saturday, October 14
while celebrating Family Weekend. East Stroudsburg will provide the
opposition, with Harlon Hill Award winner Jimmy Terwilliger leading
the Warriors. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m.

In the post-game press conference following last Saturday's game with
Indiana(Pa.), Edinboro head coach Scott Browning noted that Trevor
Harris played like a freshman at times. But he'll glady take the majority
of the time, when the 6'3", 194 lb. redshirt freshman has been a bright
spot. The first freshman to start a season opener for Edinboro since Brian
Caldwell in 1997, Harris threw for a season-high 272 yards against lUP,
wth 2 TDs and an INT. He has already thrown for 992 yards with 9 TDs.
Looking at other freshmen signalcallers at Edinboro, C^dwell threw for
1,579 yards and 9 TDs his first season, while Jody Dickerson had 1,362
and 8, respectively. Justin Bouch, who Harris replaced, threw for 1,183
yards with 4 TDs.
If it's an odd numbered quarter, you can figure it will be tough to score
on the Edinboro defense. The Fighting Scots have given up just seven
points in the first quarter, and that came this past week against
Indiana(Pa.), and have yet to allow a point in the third quarter. Overall,

Dear Family, Friends and Fans of the Fighting Scots:
We are engaged in one of the most exciting years in the history ofEdinboro University - our school's 150^'^
anniversary, the Sesquicentennial. This year also promises to be one of our best for our athletics programs as
they strive to match last year's incredible successes, when many of our teams and athletes went on to post-sea
son competition.
Much of the success of our men's and women's athletic teams is due to your loyal support of our scholar-ath
letes in basketball, cross country, football, soccer, softball, swimming, track, volleyball, and wrestling, as well
as wheelchair basketball and other adaptive sports.
The long legacy ofEdinboro athletics will be one of the highlights celebrated during our Sesquicentennial in
2006-2007. As we prepare to celebrate the University's 150*^ anniversary, we are guided by the theme "Build
ing a prosperous future through academic excellence and civility." Our athletes' dedication to education, disci
pline, and sportsmanship that are at the heart ofEdinboro athletics will serve them well as they pursue their dreams beyond the playing
fields of their alma mater. Their success in competitive endeavors will contribute to the quality of life on our campus and throughout
the communities of northwestern Pennsylvania.
Fans of the Fighting Scots are always welcome at Edinboro University and I look forward to greeting you at our many athletic, cultural
and arts presentations. Please visit our campus as often as possible.
Go Scots!

Once he committed
to dissecting film, QB
Troy Smith left Ohio
State with no
choice but to
commit to him.
CHANCE
By Albert Breer
aybe Troy Smith was expecting
comfort.
After all, if there was a bigger
bump in the road than what the Ohio
State quarterback faced against Penn
State last fall, it’d be hard to
find it.
There was the intercep
tion he threw to Calvin
Lowry, who ran it back to the
2 to set up a score that gave
the Nittany Lions a 14-3
lead. There was the fumble
that came with 1:30 to go, a
strip sack by Tamba Mali
that effectively ended Smith
and the Buckeyes’ come
back hopes. There was the
fact the final was 17-1 □ and
both plays hugely impacted
the result.
And heck, it was his high
school coach, Cleveland
Glenville’s Ted Ginn Sr., on
the other end of the line,
someone Smith views as a
“father figure.’’
But instead of some cod
dling, Ginn decided Smith
needed something else.
Tough love.
Transfer, Ginn said. Go
play the option somewhere.
Or get in the film room
and become a complete quarterback.
Smith listened. He stuck around and
over the Buckeyes’ final seven games
completed 104 of his 156 passes (67
percent] for 1,725 yards and 13
scores, against just two picks.
In 2006, he’s not just a complete
quarterback. He may very well be
the best one in the entire country.
I
Which puts him squarely in the race
for the Heisman.
And after last year’s experience, he
knows exactly how things have come to
this point.
“My biggest weakness was neglect
ing film study, and at this level you have
to break down every aspect of the
game,” Smith says. “While you’re sleep
ing, someone’s breaking down game
film. So as much as you can, film
study’s the key.”
The numbers before Smith renewed
his commitment to game tape clearly
show that. After missing the opener
against Miami of Ohio, the then-junior
scuffled through the next four games,
completing 45 of his B1 passes (55
percent) for 557 yards, three touch
downs and two picks.
Plus, he was taking a beat
ing, averaging 16 carries a
game through that stretch.
Yes, there was the 127 yards
on the ground against Iowa.
But there was also 15 yards on
19 carries against Penn State.
It wasn’t efficient, and
worse, getting through all the
hits was becoming a chore.
“At the end of the day,
you’re gonna be beat up, tak
ing 25, 30 hits a game, and
they don’t need someone
who’s gonna be hurt when you
i;
need them the most because
you ran,” Ginn observed. “I told
him to be a quarterback.
Learn the game, so you don’t
have to use your shoes.”
That’s a lesson Smith had
to learn, and just one of the
many it’s taken to get him
where he is.
His shoes, and not his arm,
got him where he was.
The mind-blowing athleticism is what
jumped off the screen when he was
being recruited, what got Ohio State to
bring the offer.
The problem, for Smith, was that
Justin Zwick—^the most heralded quar
terback recruit to hit Columbus since
Art Schlichter in 1978—was already in
the fold in the 2002 class.
“A lot of people probably felt that was
a bad move,” says Ginn of Smith’s com
mitment. “I think certain people were
asking Troy, and they asked me. Why
would he go to Ohio State?’ ”
Smith himself never thought that way.
“It was a no-brainer,” he says.
He’s an Ohio kid, see, and being a
Buckeye was all he wanted to be. So he
arrived and redshirted in 2002.
And went along for the ride as
Ohio State went 14-0 and won the
national title.
“We had leaders all through that
team, standup guys that if you needed
them, you could depend of them
being there,” Smith says. “The offense
was great, putting points up, but
our defense was just phenomenal. We
had 11 guys on the field, and 11
leaders, guy that took what they did
serious at all times.”
The lesson was there. It’d just take
time for Smith to learn it.
The arm, too, the Ohio State coach
es would learn, was there.
A hose, really.
It was just a matter of when they’d
use it. Before they did, he watched.
“Troy’s very observant,” said Ohio
State coach Jim Tressel. “I think he
picked up a little bit from everybody.”
The time to use that came in 2004,
Smith’s sophomore year, when he
replaced a struggling Zwick.
A tough 3-3 start turned into a 4-1
finish for Ohio State. He was uneven at
times, sure, and there was no bigger
evidence than three picks in the one
loss to Purdue.
Still, he had a knack for the big
moments and, at Ohio State, they don’t
come any bigger than the Michigan
game. On that stage, he threw for 241
yards and two touchdowns, ran for
145 yards and another score and the
underdog
Buckeyes
blasted the
Wolverines 37-21.
The message was simple: Yes, he
was still inconsistent, but his team
mates could count on him when it mat
tered most. Then, the message was
erased.
The NCAA sniffed around and found
he’d picked up $500 from a booster
and suspended him for the Alamo Bowl.
“Any person can make a decision for
themselves, good or bad, and when
they make that decision, it will reflect on
their life,” Smith explains. “I learned that
firsthand. I couldn’t be with the team at
the Alamo Bowl and. through that, I
learned the value of team.”
Another lesson, this time hammered
home.
When the suspension, finally, was lift
ed before the Week 2 intersectional
showdown with Texas, Smith was ready
to lead the team, with his arm and feet.
In turn, his teammates was set to follow.
“He’s got a sense of impending great
ness about him,” Tressel says. “An
aura, he’s got it. People like to follow
people that have it.
But the coaches, after an awkward
offseason of shuttling Zwick and Smith
in and out, weren’t ready to give Smith
the reins after starting the former in
the season-opening win over Miami of
Ohio. The coaches alternated the two
against the Longhorns, never deciding
on one to stick with.
Thing was, what Smith saw on the
other side was a coaching staff with no
such problems. Vince Young was Texas’
man, no ifs, ands or buts about it. And
like Smith had in the past. Young deliv
ered when his team needed him most.
There was a difference, though.
“He came to our stadium,” Smith
says, “and it was a pass that beat us.”
Smith, of course, went back and
wished it was he that threw the pass.
Instead, he finished the game on the
sideline, watching as Zwick fumbled to
effectively end any last-minute come
back hopes.
What he did get was his job back.
But the games that followed paled in
comparison to playing the Longhorns.
And Smith didn’t treat them like the
Texas game. Or like he treated the
Michigan game.
Which was a problem.
“(Michigan) makes it seem like every
other game doesn’t measure up—that
game’s a season in itself,” he explains.
“What I had to realize is that every
game is key and very important, and
that’s the season, not just one game.”
Even struggling at times over the
next two games. Smith got the team
two wins. It didn’t seem like a completion
percentage sitting at a middling 55
mattered, or that he’d take off when he
really should’ve been going through his
reads was relevant.

doubts should be put to rest.
Tressel, for one, believes it. His
teammates do too.
“They’ve seen him do it, battle
through adversity, do special
things,” Tressel says. “Now the
question is can we do it over
time? Troy had signs of it. But to
use those rare words, national
championship, he has to do it all
over time.”
To get there now, he studies,
throws and, sure, runs when he
needs to. And
in doing that, again, sets an
example for everyone to follow.
“First and foremost, I want
the guys to know I’ll be the guy
to step to the forefront and lead
by example in all; ways,” Smith
says. “I’ll let my play do the
talking, but when I do voice my
opinion. I’m standing up for all
105 guys. I want them to know
I’ll be that guy.”
His career coming full circle.
The team was winning. Until
Penn State. Another lesson, one
it took a bad loss to teach.
The next four games were
against Michigan State, Indiana,
Minnesota and Illinois. In the
past, those were games Smith
might’ve used to showcase his
legs against teams he may not
have studied much.
No more.
In three of the four, he posted
quarterback ratings above 200.
The low watermark in passing
yardage for that stretch was
226, and his TD-INT ratio was
10-1. In none did he run more
than a dozen times.
He was becoming, yes, a
quarterback.
“It’s in coverage recognition,
right away, when you get to the
line,” Smith says. “Down and dis-
Maybe Troy Smith Is Ohio State’s top Heisman Trophy candidate.
Or maybe it’s Ted Ginn.
What seems certain Is that, whoever It Is, that player has come
out of Cleveland Glenville High School. That’s where both Smith and
Ginn went. It’s also where last year’s Buckeye All-American safety,
Donte Whitner, graduated from.
And even with a guy like Whitner gone to the NFL, the eighth over
all pick In its draft, seven Glenville alums dot the Ohio State roster.
Which, at this point, seems to be no coincidence.
“I think success breeds success,” says Ohio State coach Jim
Tressel, who’s known Glenville coach Ted Ginn Sr. for more than 20
years. ‘People see opportunity, and there is the open enrollment
opportunity and kids that want to be that good, go there. [Buckeye
freshman] Robert Rose didn't start at Glenville, he started at
Cleveland Central Catholic. But he didn’t feel challenged there and he
wanted to be want challenged. ”
Smith, too, was a transfer, moving over to Glenville from Lakewood
St. Edward before his senior year. And even though St. Ed’s, too, is a
respected big-school power In Ohio, there was no comparison.
“It was a wake-up call, coming from St Ed’s, ’’ Smith said. “When I
tance, my protections, things like that. I
was living in our playbook and gameplan, so when something happened, I
knew it was coming. It wasn’t a sur
prise.”
By doing it, when Michigan rolled
around and Notre Dame followed them
in the Fiesta Bowl, Smith wasn’t
just drawing a big-game cram session.
He was ready going into game prep
got to Glenville, they were running circles around me. I was an
extremely competitive guy and it was a humbling experience. It would
be for anyone, facing five or six Div. I athletes. ”
The scary thing Is that the pipeline just seems to be getting deep
er. While Ginn, Smith and safety Jamarlo O’Neal are starters at Ohio
State, and Curtis Terry’s in the linebacker rotation, the other three exTarblooders are true freshmen.
Those guys were part of a 200o Glenville class that boasted 15
Div. I signees, eight of whom will play at Big Ten schools. And the funny
thing about is that Ginn actually resists the Idea that competition
inside his teams have created this haven for future college stars.
“I’ve always tried to eliminate that, ” says Ginn, who enters his 10th
season as head coach and his 33rd season coaching overall at
Glenville. "We’re teaching a family atmosphere. They're not competing
with each other and. If they are, they’re being selfish. We talk about
faith and family and If you start talking about competing with one
another, you’re trying to separate yourself from the rest. ”
But in a way, that’s just what the Glenville alumni has done.

and scoring As in the classroom as
it closed.
And video-game numbers followed. In
the two final games of his junior year, he
completed 46 of his 65 passes for 642
yards, three touchdowns and no picks.
He led a game-winning drive at
Michigan and buried Notre Dame under
touchdown passes of 56 and 85 yards.

When it comes to airing it out, severai coliege
lorget three
lyards and a
cloud of dust.
In the recent
history of college
football, several
programs have forsaken the so-called
balanced attack, a.k.a. ground game,
for an all-out aerial assault.
This avant-garde approach has ran

including Ty Detmer, Danny Wuerffel and
Andre Ware. And it has rejuvenated
downtrodden programs such as Houston,
Hawaii and Texas Tech.
“You want to utilize all of your skills
guys, make sure they contribute to the
offensive effort,” said Texas Tech head
coach Mike Leach, one of the game’s
offensive Einstein’s. “The notion that
there is some magic to running it 50
percent of the time and throwing it 50
percent when you’re only utilizing two or
three guys, that’s just not true.
“The guy who runs it between the
tackles and gets somewhere between
2 and 3 yards every play, there’s noth
ing sacred about that.”
Well, there is if your name happens to
be Woody Hayes. Nowadays, coaches
are opting for spreads and flooded pass
ing lanes. And the results speak volumes.
In 2005, nine l-A teams averaged
more than 300 yards passing per game.
led by Texas Tech {388.8) and Hawaii
(384.3). Last season: saw passing
records galore for attempts (32.0), con>
pletions (18.5), completion rate (57.9%),
and yardage (224.6). In addition, total
offense (379.7) and scoring (26.8
points) were close to all-time highs.
“If you look over the years, teams
who have spread the field have been the
most productive,” said Hawaii coach
June Jones. “If you look at what the
Indianapolis Colts are doing now, for all
intents and purposes, they’re spreading
the field, running a one-back with
Peyton (Manning). Look at what’s hap
pened to 8YU since they stopped run
ning that offense LaVell Edwards ran."
No less an authority than 1996
Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel,
the quaptdrback and triggerman for
Florida’s Tun ‘n’ Gun offense, believes the
pinball-like offensive numbers are great
for fans and quarterbacks alike.
“I think people love to see scoring,”
said Wuerffel. “I think they love to see
plays made and see the receivers make
the great catches. That is exciting."
Wuerffel added: “If you look at the
history of college football, in the 196Ds I
and '70s you had a lot of smash-mouth,
grind-it-out offense. Then in the ’80s
you had some really good offensive
teams and some successful run ‘n’
shoot teams, and then in the ’90s wittt
the success (Steve) Spurrier had with
his wide-open approach. I think that
really caused some coaches to look at
the game a little bit differently and play
more wide-open.”
The ringleader of this trend is Texas
Tech’s Leach, whose offense boasts a

4-to-1 passing to rushing yardage ratio.
Last season, the Red Raiders won the
NCAA passing title for the fourth year in
a row and led the nation in completions
and attempts.
Since 2000, Tech has clearly estab
lished itself as Gunslinger U. Last year’s
starter, Cody Hodges, became the
fourth Red Raider to lead the nation in
passing in as many years. His predeces
sors—Kliff Kingsbury, 8.J. Symons and
Sonny Cumbie—have also flourished. In
2004, Cumbie topped Division l-A in
total offense, averaging 381.3 yards
per game while throwing for a whopping
4,742 yards. In 2(X)3, Symons, a
Heisman Trophy candidate, capped
off his senior season with an NCAA

yards. A year earlier, Kliff Kingsbury fin
ished his senior campaign ranked in
total offense (2nd), completions (1st),
attempts (1st) and passing touchdowns
{1st), while setting 17 NCAA marks.
“You want stuff simple enough that
they can trigger it quickly, that they
don’t have to sit and dwell on what
they’re doing next,” said Leach, who
eschews a playbook in favor of teaching

Calling his offense a “catch-all,
controlled passing game,” Leach says
the key when it comes to designing an
offense is packaging it.
“I don’t think the trick is in dreaming
it up because there are so many plays
out there,” he said. “But I think you
ought to have the ability to attack the
whole field. You want to get the ball into
everybody’s hands.”
Leach attended BYU and admits the
offense that was run during the LaVell
Edwards era had a huge and profound
influence on his philosophy. Prior to
coming to Tech, Leach developed a rep
utation for directing some very prolific
passing games that have broken school
and NCAA records at Valdosta State,
Kentucky and Oklahoma.

and technique without any hesitation.
You want to synchronize everyone so
that they’re really working together. If
you get good distribution, then I think it
puts a natural stress on a defense to
try and stop it.”
The father and instigator, if you will,
of the pass first, ask questions later
approach is former BYU coaching great
LaVell Edwards, considered one of col
lege football’s foremost teachers of the
pro-style passing attack.
Edwards’ offense was, for all intents
and purposes, a precursor of the West
Coast offense. And the list of former
Cougars quarterbacks reads like a who’s
who of top-flight signal callers: Gary
Sheide, Gifford Neilsen, Jim McMahon,
Marc Wilson, Steve Young, Robbie
n
*
Bosco, Detmer and Steve Sarkisian.
Even some of Edwards’ assistants who
came through the BYU system have
become synonymous with their proactive
approach to offense: Norm Chow (who
spent 27 years at BYU), Mike Holmgren.
Brian Billick and Andy Reid.
“We ran basically what is called the
Pro Set,” said Edwards. “We split out two
wide receivers. I knew I wanted to throw
the football and I knew what gave us
problems. We always had a problem with
speed at BYU. So I decided this was the
best formation for us to use and it would
help us create a little more difficulty for
the defense. We started pretty much
mainstream and more or less just
expanded it and kept doing it.”
He added: “We were able to come up
with some mismatches and create more
personnel problems by spreading the
wideouts, having men in motion, and
install formations that were predicated
on the passing game. A lot of what we
did was based on throwing the ball short,
more of a ball control thing.”
Under Edwards’ tutelage. BYU led
the nation in passing offense eight
times, total offense five times and
scoring three times. In all, Edwards’
quarterbacks threw for more than
100,000 yards and 635 touchdowns in
his pass-dominated scheme.
“Sometimes it was mind-boggling the
amount of points we would score or the
number of yards we would have,” said
Edwards. “I think the only way that you
could have stopped us was if you had
superior talent up front, if you could pro
vide a rush and get to the passer. If you
could get to our quarterback with a mini
mum amount of blitzing, you would be OK.
But if all you did was blitz, then we had a
pretty good ability to pick you apart.”
Ironically, it was Edwards’ penchant
for defense that spawned BYU’s offen
sive juggernaut. Prior to becoming head
coach in 1972, Edwards had been the
Cougars’ defensive coordinator. He
recalled in his early days that BYU
threw the ball a little bit more when it
had former QB Virgil Carter, who set six
NCAA passing records, at the helm.
When Carter graduated, the program
got away from its passing philosophy.
“I just said, ‘Hey, whatever we have
been doing hasn’t been successful. So
let’s try something new,’ ” Edwards
recounted. “I just figured from a defen
sive standpoint that we needed to do
something differently. So I began to give
the offense more thought, develop a
philosophy, hire the right people to help
run it, and that helped us. The guy who
really who tied the whole thing together
was Doug Scovil. He had worked with
the 49ers. Bill Walsh is the guy who
helped me hire Doug. And this was
before Bill became famous what is now
referred to as the West Coast offense.”
Before Steve Spurrier’s Fun ‘n’ Gun
offense debuted in the Southeastern
Conference, it was notorious as a ball
control, grind-it-out league. He singlehandedly forced a change. The “Cl’ Ball
Coach’s” basic philosophy was one of
attacking the defense, not just taking
what the defense gives you such as the
West Coast offense. Every play run has
the potential for something big.
That mentality resulted in six SEC
titles and the 1996 national champi
onship, the first in the program’s histo
ry. Surprisingly, according to Wuerffel,
the offense was pretty balanced.
“You do end up running the ball about
half the time.” he said. “But it’s the com
plement to the passing game. I think one
of the reasons why [Spurrier] is success
ful running the ball is because defenses
are so geared to stop the pass. One of
the things that’s different about his
offense is that all the reads are downfield, first and short. In other offenses,
you will have plays where you may read a
flat route or you may read a middle route
or you may read something else. That
was never the case at Florida.
“You were looking dovvnfield and you
threw it. A lot of it was built on timing
and attacking a particular defense. It
wasn’t just a play that would work against
a certain defense and you could try and
make it work. It was more of a philoso
phy of being the right play run against the
right defense that gives you the best
chance. As the quarterback, it was like a
chess match and a real battle.”
For many programs, the decision to go
for broke offensively hinges on making
a sudden and dramatic impact. Not to
mention, sheer survival.
“I think whenever you’re at a place
like Hawaii or a place where you have to

records for total offensive yards
(17,183), most offensive plays
(2,61 D), most interceptions (77)
and is second to Detmer’s 121
touchdown passes (117).
Last season as a sophomore.
Warriors junior QB Colt Brennan
led the nation in touchdown passes
(35), passing yards (4,3D1), pass
ing average (358.4), total offense
(371.3), and points responsible for
(19.17) in his first season.
“I do think it is a little bit harder
to defend,” said Jones of the run
‘n’ shoot. “For example, we run
four wideouts. Most teams are
lucky if they have two corners that
are quality enough to cover man to
man on every play. When you line
up with four wideouts, that puts
beat the big boys, you better do some
thing unique,” said Hawaii head coach
June Jones. “And we certainly have a lit
tle bit of a unique approach in the way
we try to play. It neutralizes the playing
field against the teams that might be
better than us.”
Since Jones became the Warriors
coach, the program has done a com
plete about-face, mainly due to the
implementation of the run ‘n’ shoot
offense. Jones has been a major propo
nent of the run ‘n’ shoot from his days
as an NFL coach with Detroit, Houston
and Atlanta. His assistant coach.
Mouse Davis, introduced the run ‘n’
shoot in 1975, his first year as coach
for Portland State University.
Davis’ teams led the nation in pass
ing and total offense for six consecutive
years, averaging over 5,DDD yards of
total offense per season and 35 points
per game. PSU also led the nation in
scoring in three of those years. Under
Davis’ direction, Portland State set 2D
NCAA Division l-AA offensive records.
Jones’ offense has led the Western
Athletic Conference and been ranked in
the top five nationally each season,
including second in the country the last
five years. Last season Hawaii’s potent
passing attack (384.2 ypg) ranked sec
ond nationally. In 2D04, ex-Warrior
quarterback Timmy Chang became the
NCAA’s all-time leading passer, compil
ing 17,D72 yards. Chang also holds
the third and fourth best corners on the
field against your starters.”
To play quarterback for Jones, it
helps if you’re cerebral, intelligent and
can digest the copious amounts of infor
mation. By the same token, also be a
kid who is patient so that he can wait
for things to come to him so that the
offense works.
Said Jones: “I think that’s accurate in
both cases. But I do think this: Because
of the way we teach and the way we
insert, we have proven that we can
have success with people that are not
cerebral, per se. The reason is that our
receivers read the field as they are run
ning routes on most of our plays. And
the quarterback is asked to read one
guy and then go through his progres
sions. We ask our quarterbacks to read
just one guy on each different play. So,
consequently, he doesn’t have to see
everything on the field whereas in most
offenses the quarterback is asked to.”
While the run ‘n’ shoot has found a
home in Honolulu, it first appeared on
the college scene at the University of
Houston. Head coach Jack Pardee
installed the offense during a period
where he had two sensational quarter
backs in Andre Ware and David Klingler.
In 1989, Ware, who became the
first African-American quarterback to
win the Heisman Trophy, had a dream
junior season. In his first ID games he
completed 329 of 516 attempts for
4,299 yards and 44 touchdowns.
Overall, he amassed 4,699 yards and
46 touchdowns. Ware set 26 NCAA
records during his career, forgoing his
senior season to enter the NFL Draft.
Klingler stepped right in following
Ware’s departure and the Cougar
offense didn’t miss a beat. In 1990, he
broke or tied 33 NCAA game and sea
son records as he led Houston to 10-1
record in a season that saw him collect
54 touchdown passes and 5,140 yards.
Against Eastern Washington, Klingler set
the single-game TD pass record of 11. A
week later, in the season finale against
Arizona State, he threw for an NCAA
record 732 yards. The native Houstonian
finished his collegiate career with 9,430
yards aind 91 TD passes.
There’s no debating that the air raid
has become prominent in college foot
ball and should continue unabated. The
guys behind center couldn’t be happier.
“When you’re 5 years old and you’re
playing football in your backyard, it’s all
about throwing and catching,” said
Wuerffel. “That’s what’s fun. And what
happens typically as you get older is that
you have so many other things going on
that are part of the game that you tend
to hand the ball off more often. So the
opportunity to continue doing the thing
you just naturally love, in a competitive
environment, and helping your team win,
that’s the most fun. That is why quarter
backs become quarterbacks.”

Hornung. the Fighting l^'sh AllAmerican. 1956 Heisman Trophy
■I
Hi;

.,■1^ ,.-i*' ■
winner and TV color commentator,
could only watch helplessly as Tony
Dorsett was at it again, shredding
Mntre Dame’s vaunted defense for
the third time in his superb college
football career.
Gauging the drop from the press
box to the bleachers below was
something Hornung never really
considered. Not when you’re the main
speaker at a Friday night pep rally
in South Bend. Ind.. and fueled by a
cocktail of optimism and bravado
with a splash of serious school
pride. After all. Pitt was only
ranked ninth entering the season,
and the Irish had all summer to
concoct the perfect game plan
[and grow the stadium turf three
inches deep] to stop the nation’s
most electrifying running back.
Johnny Majors. Pitt’s head
coach on that sunny Saturday in
September, smiles at the recollection. As a single-wing back
at Tennessee, he finished second to Hornung for the Heisman.
so pardon the 71-year-old college football Hall of Famer for
enjoying a good-natured chuckle. 30 autumns later.
I remember Paul saying, ‘Notre Dame’s been setting their
sights on Tony and when Notre Dame sets their sights on
anybody, no one can run it down their throats,’ ” Majors said,
rising from his blue leather chair in a Pitt athletics depart
ment conference room for dramatic effect. “He told the
crowd. If Dorsett gets 2qq yards against Notre Dame
tomorrow. I’ll jump out of the press box.’
“That’s all true.”
One-seventy ... 175 ... Wow^ that’s a long way down ...
For Hornung, there was good news and bad news. The
good: Dorsett finished 19 ygp^jg
sending the Golden
Boy out that press box window. The bad: He did enough
damage to help Pitt defeat Notre Dame. 31-ID. and become
the all-time leading rusher against the Irish with 754 yards in
‘^°^P'®f^®'^ting his 209 yards as a freshman
and 3D3 as a junior, a record that still stands.
Most importantly, however, Pitt’s victory in front of
a nations teevision audience returned a once-moribund
program to gridiron prominence and set the stage for an
undefeated championship season. But it wasn’t easy.
to play in the National Football League
in 1977. According to Majors, this
was a team in the truest sense of the
word, the culmination of four years
together, elevating a program that won
only one game in 1972.
“We had no weaknesses,” said
Majors, who began his first season
with the Panthers in ’73 with a repu
tation for raising the dead. Two years
earlier, he resurrected Iowa State—
Iowa State—by leading the Cyclones
to an 8-4 record and a bowl berth,
garnering Big Eight Coach of the Year
honors to show for it.
“I don’t think we had a vulnerable
spot on our team,” he said. “We had
a great offense and a great kicking game. Virtually every
offensive lineman started two years or more. They were
intelligent, disciplined and strong. Our punter and kick
er were four-year starters.
“Defensively, we had an outstanding group. Our rush
defense and pass defense were superb. In the Sugar
Bowl, when we beat Georgia, [Alabama head coach Paul]
‘Bear’ Bryant was quoted as saying we had the most out
standing secondary he had ever seen on a football field.”
And. of course, there was the running game, led by No. 33.
Dorsett, a four-year All-American, would finish his career
as the all-time leading rusher in college football, amassing
6,526 yards, including bowl games. Along the way, he
chalked up 18 NCAA records, 37 school records, rushed for
at least 100 yards in 36 games, including 20 in a row, and
rang up 380 career points. But the numbers, gaudy as they
are, don’t tell the whole story.
By 76, teams were following Notre Dame’s defensive blue
print. devising specific schemes to stop Dorsett. as well as
fullback Elliott Walker, a talented junior who finished his
career as Pitt’s No. 2 all-time ^rusher. Shut down Pitt’s ground
attack, it was thought, and yt)u’ll shut down the Panthers.
Within six weeks, this approach was a prerequisite
for defensive coordinators everywhere, as Pitt’s top two

resno State head coach
at Hill is in his iOth
season of taking on
II comers. IMow he
are ready to
“finish the
job.”
By Jon Cooper
all him persistent or just plain stubborn, but Fresno State
coach Pat Hill has something to say to the college football’s
big guys—especially the BCS—and is determined to get
their ear. He’s been at it so long and gotten so good at it that
they’re starting to listen.
For nine seasons, Hill, the longest-tenured coach in
the Western Athletic Conference and secondlongest in the west, has used his squad to make a
case for the “little guys” of college football, although
it hasn’t been easy to get people’s attention.
“I think a lot of it has to do with the idea that
a lot of people don’t want to see the little guy step
up and sit at the table with the big guys,” said
Hill, whose 2001 Fresno State team reached as
high as No. 8 in the nation. “College football is
more of a beauty contest.”
From the day Hill returned to the small San
Joaquin Valley school, where he served as an
assistant for five years under legendary head coach
Jim Sweeney before serving as an NFL assistant
coach for four years under Bill Belichick in Cleveland,
he had two goals in mind—restore the glory to a
program that hadn’t had a winning season in the four
previous years and do it the right way.
He started by adopting the motto “Anybody, Anytime,
C
illers
Anywhere.” Then, when the time came to back up the talk, the
Bulldogs always answered the call, almost always doing so in
someone else’s house.
“We’ve played 34 BCS teams, teams that have been either
Top 25 teams or coming off a bowl game the previous year
and only four of those games have been at home,” Hill point
ed out. “The rest of them have been on the road. So we have
played a very, very, very tough schedule. What we’ve learned
from it is that we have to play at a high level every week.”
Hill entered 2006 with a 72-43 overall record, a .626
winning percentage (in WAC play he’s 50-21, a .704 winning
percentage) and has taken the Bulldogs to seven straight bowl
games. That’s more consecutive bowl appearances than any
school in the Pacific, Mountain and Hawaiian time zones.
Last Nov. 19, in Los Angeles, Fresno nearly toppled
the biggest kid on the block, pushing No. 1 USC to the limit,
actually holding a one-point lead late in the fourth quarter
before falling, 50-42.
Wide receivers Joe
Fernondez and Paul
Williams (below)
combined for 15 TO
9^(ches in 5005.^
Hill holds to the same moral
standards when it comes to
recruiting. He only recruits kids in v
the state of California, primarily in
the Valley, and makes his judgments based on one-on-one inter- ■
views and film, not ratings services ^
or recruitment publications.
Although a hackneyed cliche, I

past four seasons.

have fallen to Fresno
since 2000.
“If winning the WAC
would get you to a
national playoff then we’d
change the way we
schedule,” he said. “But
winning the WAC doesn’t
change postseason. The only thing that
changes postseason is if you can play a great
non-league schedule and go undefeated. We’ve
chosen that path.
‘The only way you make headway is by win
ning,” he concluded. “Close doesn’t count. We’re
knocking on the door. We just have to open it
one time and then people will notice. We’re doing
it the right way. We just have to finish it.”
1
era at Fresno State.
“I’m very proud of what we’ve
done as far as graduation rates
and academic progress,” stated
Hill. We have doubled our gradua
tion rate and with the new NCAA
standards of APR, with the
Academic Progress Rate of our
students, we’ll be the fifth-highest
in the Western United States. Only
one school in California—that’s
Stanford—is higher than us.”
The 2005 Academic AIFWAC
team included a school-record 14
Fresno State players, the seventh straight season Fresno pro
duced at least eight Academic All-WAC players. Prior to Hill’s
arrival, the Bulldogs had produced nine Academic AllAmericans total and never more than two in a season.
Then there s the graduation rate of his players to the pros.
“We had nine guys sign pro contracts last year, we had
nine guys listed as possible for next year,” said Hill. “So when
Yet it still seems that the only way Fresno State is men
tioned in the same breath as a top-25 team is when they are
lined up across from one of them.
With another difficult non-conference schedule ahead in
2006, Hill challenged his team, instituting a new mottoFinish the job.”
Its very hard to schedule in the west, but the teams that
we get to play are not teams that everybody wants to play,
either he said. “We’ve been to Tennessee, we’ve been to a young man is looking at Fresno State as a place to go to
school, he can fulfill all his dreams both on and off the field
LSD [Fresno goes back to the Bayou this year on Oct 21J
at Fresno State just as well as he can at ’SC or UCLA or any
we’ve been to Ohio State. The BCS teams we’ve played’
they re usually top-caliber teams and those are the ones that place on the West Coast.”
are available. It’s nice to talk about it. but not everybody
wants to play those games. Just look at the way some
Division l-A teams schedule.”
Even when deals with return games are struck, there has
been no guarantee that teams will hold up their end of the
bargain and travel to Fresno.
Weve been to Oregon three times already to get this
return game (played on Sept. 9J.” said Hill, whose club fin
ished No. 22 in the nation in 2005 after jumping out to an
8-1 start, which included ending Boise State’s 31-game con
ference winning streak, but finished 8-5. “We had a game at
Oklahoma in ’97. They were supposed to come back in 2002.
They canceled. We had a game at Texas Tech in ’98, they
m
were supposed to come back here in 2003. They canceled.
People just buy out and don’t come play.
“It’s very frustrating, but it’s a business deal." he continued. “It’s a lot easier to pay the $300,000 buyout and take
a $2 million profit at home. It’s a business deal. It’s a shame.
Once you sign a contract, I still feel you should fulfill your con
tract, but thats not always the case.”

Atlanta.
The final facet of beautifying the Fresno program is getting
done on the field. In 2005, Fresno State led the WAC in
scoring offense [37.8 points per game}, had the the confer
ence’s third-best rushing attack (164.6 yards per game) and
third-best passing offense [260.3 ypg). They led the WAC
in third-down efficiency [converting at 50.3 percent) and
allowed the fewest sacks [14 in 13 games).
Defensively, Fresno led the conference In scoring defense
[22.5 points per game), total defense [346.9 yards per
game), pass defense [198.4 ypg), and were second in sacks
registered (34). Special teams led the WAC in punt returns
[18.6 yards per return with a conference-high four TDs), fin
ished third in punting and fourth in kickoff returns.
They’ve maintained respect within the WAC, as the
Bulldogs, who returned 19 starters [11 of whom have played
in at least 30 games) were voted second in a preseason poll
of conference coaches, despite losing four-year starting quar
terback Paul Pinegar and defensive end Garrett McIntyre, the
2005 WAC Defensive Player of the Year.
People are even starting to notice nationally, as Bulldogs
center Kyle Young was on the preseason watch list for the
Outland and Rimington Trophies and the Rotary Lombardi
Award, cornerback Marcus McCauley was among preseason
Jim Thorpe and Bronko Nagurski Award nominees and
linebacker Dwayne Andrews was on the Lott Trophy
preseason watch list.
The next step comes for the team if they can “finish the job.”
Hill plans to stick around to finish what he’s started.
Although he interviewed for head coach positions with several
NFL teams last summer, he chose to return to Fresno, signing
a contract extension through 2010. Expect him to continue to
sick his Bulldogs on BCS-conference schools, nine of whom
AN UP-HILL BATTLE
In nine seasons under Pat Hill, Fresno State has met
its share of Top 25 opponents, almost all of them on the
road. While the Bulldogs can't boast of a winning record
(they are 6-1 "I overall) and a few games did get out of
hand, they can say they never backed down.
A closer look at the ledger also offers a clue as to
why teams would rather not make a return trip to
Fresno.
Here is a look at Fresno State’s record against the
Top 25, including 2006’s opponents [based on the
ESPN/USA Today Preseason Top 25 poll).

All-Americans
Harlan Hill Trophy
Two Edinboro University football players
have been finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy
presented annually to the top player in NCAA
Division 11 football. Running back Elbert Cole
was one of three finalists in 1989, while wide re
ceiver Ernest Priester was a finalist a year later.
Cole placed third in the '89 balloting. He earned
All-American honors in 1989, receiving first
team accolades from Kodak/ American Football
Coaches Association, second team recognition
from Football Gazette, and third team status
from Associated Press.
Cole rushed for 1,507 yards and set Penn
sylvania State Athletic Conference records for
touchdowns (24) and points (148). He led the
Fighting Scots to the PSACWest title, a 8-3
record and a number seven ranking in the final
Division II poll.
Priester was runnerup to North Dakota
State quarterback Chris Simdom in 1990 when
the Bison claimed the Division II national title.
Priester was the PSAC Western Division CoPlayer of the Year in 1990. He was also recog
nized by Kodak/American Football Coaches
Association, Associated Press and the Football
Gazette as a first team All-American.
The wide receiver hauled in 47 passes for
1,102 yards and 15 TDs. Edinboro finished 9-3,
reaching the Division II quarterfinals.
Two years ago Andre Burke (below) made
a run at the Harlon
Hill Trophy, as the
tailback
was
a
Northeast Region
semifinalist. Burke
ended up with a
school-record 1,713
yards and 19 TDs.

Dear Fans:
I hope that our fans will applaud and frequent the 13 supporters listed below from
the Edinboro community who have supported our players with evening snacks
through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August Snacks Program”
has been a huge success. I can’t tell you how appreciative our players are of these
generous donations. This is the sixth consecutive year that the community has
reached out and assisted us. Our players have asked me to thank each of the
restaurants/eateries below. Please support these Edinboro business! THANK YOU.

This marks the 21st season that I have been
fortunate enough to be a member of the Edin
boro football staff. During that time it has been
very gratifying to see the response of local or
ganizations in assisting Edinboro football. In
recent years the service organizations has pro
vided invaluable assistance, including running
the 50/50 raffles. We look forward to working
with these organizations again this year, and
thank them for their support of Boro Football.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Thank you for your support of the An
nual Athletic Fund Drive.
I feel like I'm getting redundant. For
the past two years I've boasted about how well
the Fighting Scot athletic teams have done, only
to see the next year's teams exceed those perform
ances. It gives me great pleasure to tell you that
we once again enjoyed an outstanding season,
topping the previous year's accomplishments, in
my estimation.
As someone who knows a thing or two
about the sacrifices it takes to be successful, I can
tell you that it isn't easy to maintain this type of
performance year-in and year-out. And I'm not
just referring to on-the-field performance. These
young men and women have taken to heart what
we preach - academics are still the number one
priority.
I am not going to take the time to tell
you all of the accomplishments. Some will be
noted in this brochure, such as four teams win
ning PSAC championships, nine teams or individ
ual representatives in NCAA tournaments, 14
All-Americans, four league Coaches of the Year,
and four league Athletes of the Year. The list goes
on and on. I would recommend that you view
our website for indepth information on our pro
grams. The website address is
www.edinboro.edu. The site underwent a major
renovation last September and will continue to
grow in the future.
Speaking of building, by this time next
year construction will be winding down on our
new weight room. A major need for a number of
years, this project will not only bring our weight
room up to par with our competitors but will also
provide a film room for our coaches and athletes,
several new offices and a new concession area.
This weight room, along with the new
track and locker room updates in wrestling and
volleyball, are just some of the examples of Edin
boro athletics moving forward. But as you know,
it comes at a steep price. In the past, we have had
numerous individuals become a part of the Edin
boro Family.
I can't tell you how valuable your sup
port has been since the start of the Annual Ath
letic Fund almost a decade ago. I know without
your help, this would never have been possible.
We hope you'll once again donate to the Annual
Athletic Fund. If you haven't donated in the past,
we encourage you to become a part of the Edin
boro family. And please tell a friend. Edinboro
celebrates its Sesquicentennial in 2006-07. We'd
like to do our part by making it an athletic season
to remember, but we need your help.
I want to leave you with one other
thought. In conjunction with our 150* year cele
bration, the athletic department has been compil
ing its All-Time Teams in the various sports.
Make sure to keep an eye out for these on our
. Website during the coming months.

Today’s Featur
Stroup the New Breed of Linebacker
by Bob Shreve, Sports Information Director
Back in my time if you were a line
backer you idolized the likes of Ray Nitschke
and Dick Butkus. As I've been told on numer
ous occasions, times have changed. But one
thing that hasn't is the need for a good defense
to have strong linebacking play.
That is certainly the case at Edinboro,
where seniors Ben Stroup, Jim Soltis and Dave
Jazenski were such a strong ^oup that head
coach Scott Browning and defensive coordina
tor Wayne Bradford decided to change from a
3^ to a 4-3 defense this season.
Today's linebackers are asked to roam from sideline to sideline,
so speed and pursuit are every bit as essential as the brute strength ex
hibited by Nitschke and Butkus. In the age of specialization, the line
backers of the 21st century are asked to play the run, blitz the passer,
and drop back into coverage.
So it figures that a player like Stroup would try to emulate the lat
est great Chicago Bear, Brian Uhrlacher. A native of Columbus, Ohio,
it should also come as no surprise that when he was growing up he
looked up to an Ohio State Buckeye.
"When I was growing up I tried to be like Andy Katzenmoyer,"
related the 6'1", 213 lb. senior. "I looked up to him as a role model.
1 m not blessed with his size, but I still try to play with his kind of
speed and intensity. I also Like Brian Urhlacher and A.J. Hawk, line
backers that can run. That's my style."
Stroup is enjoying an outstanding senior campaign, leading the
Fighting Scots in tackles with 46. He is also tied for the team lead with
8 tackles for losses and has a team-high 3.5 sacks. He even has a pair
of interceptions, both coming two weeks ago in a 28-6 win at Cheyney.
The Cheyney game exhibited the mmtitude of talents possessed
by Stroup. Early in the game he sacked Cheyney quarterback Derrick
Murry for a ten-yard loss on a blitz. Yet he was able to intercept a
of passes while dropping into coverage. "I'll take a sack any day
' an interception," grinned Stroup when asked what gave him
mor^leasure.
The numbers tell a great deal about Stroup's contributions on
the field, but the respect he has from his teammates that really speaks
volumes.
I think re^ly he's the heart and soul of our defense," related
Browning. I think everyone on our entire football team respects him.
The^ys on the sidelines want to watch him. They understand how
good he is. You d never know by talking to him. He's very quiet."
Stroup credits Browning and former assistant coach Rod Boykin
with gettmg hirn to Edinboro. "There's not a lot of good Division II
programs in Ohio, it s either Division I or Division III," Stroup ex
plained. I had some looks from Division I teams, but the offers never
came. Coach Browning and Rod Boykin came down to visit me. I re
ally liked what they talked about, and I liked them as people, as well."
Browning remembers his return to Columbus, where he once
served as a ^aduate assistant. "It was a cold day in Columbus," re
membered Browning. "You walked out and he was so quiet you did
n't know if he was really interested.
I went to a recruiting fair and myself and a coach from
Youngstown State were in a room watching him on film. We were the
only ones there. I remember the guy from Youngstown State liked
him and asked me what I thought." Browning smiled then, and ad
mitted he downplayed his interest in Stroup so the Penguin assistant
didn't know how impressed he realty was.
A year ago Stroup finished as Edinboro's leading tackier with
100 stops, adding 15.5 tackles for losses and 5.5 sacks. They were
numbers befitting a first team All-PSAC West performer, an honor
he was accorded, but the Boro staff was disappointed he wasn't
named to any All-American teams.
That may change this year, although both Stroup and the staff
admits that the change from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defensive alignment has
had little impact on Stroup's season. "The move to the 4-3 was based
on what we had in all three linebackers," Bradford stressed. "Ben is
virtually in the same position. His responsibilities have changed the
least. The big factor was to keep him in the middle."
Stroup mso hasn't noticed much of a change. "For me, it hasn't
realty changed much. I'm in the same position. But I think it has
helped us, not only in the run game, but moreso in the passing game.
It has put people in better position. Now we're not so susceptfele to
the deep ball.'^
One change that has impacted Stroup has been Browning taking
everytl
Stroup. "Coach feadford lets us play more freely. He fells us we're
better players than he is a coach. That gives you confidence. He be
lieves in us."
Bradford admits that he relies greatly on the maturity of Stroup,
Soltis and Jazenski, and gives them plenty of freedom. "I haven't
coached linebackers since like 1998," tie laughed. ' "I wanted them to
tell me what they were thinking. I've always been a running-back
read guy, while Tepper was a guard-read guy. 1 don't want to tell
them something to take away from their natural ability. I let them
decide how they want to do it."
Stroup has made his mark as a great player thanks to a combi
nation of speed, intelligence, and physical play. Bradford feels he
may not get enough credit for his physical nature. "Ben brings a quiet
toughness," he pointed out. "We always talk about how weU he runs,
but you don't understand how physical he is. He is one of the best
tacklers I've ever seen."
Stroup would Ukely agree, but he has his own ideas about what
makes him great. I play a lot on emotions. 1 think a lot of players
feed off me. I m always going to give it 100 percent every moment
I'm on the field. That includes in my attitude, too."
While his career at Edinboro is coming to a close, the Fighting
Scot coacltyrg staff feels Stroup deserves a look at the next levd - the
NFL. "He's got the acceleration, the change in direction to play some
where," Bradford commented. "Maybe at strong safety or on special
teams. He has great instincts and is great in the open field. There
has to be a place for him."
"I've
thought
about it," admitted
Stroup. "But I'm hard
on myself. I tell my
self I can't play at that
level, but men others
tell me I can. I just
play every game as
hard as possible. If I
make it, ^at. If not, I
can say I gave it 100
percent."
It's that attitude,
that respect among
his teammates, that
will someday have a
young linebacker at
.dinboro sav
>ay they
want to be the
the next
Ben Stroup. He has
set a standard that
will be hard to live up
to.

The Coaches
Scott Browning (Ohio State 'SI) took over as Edinboro's 13th head coach
on January 5,2006. He was certainly no stranger to Fighting Scot football,
however, serving as an assistant coach for the previous twenty years.
While at Edinboro he has coached the offensive linemen, defensive backs
and running backs, along with serving as the offensive coordinator.
Browning became the first head coach at Edinboro to debut with a win
since Bill McDonald in 1969 when the Fighting Scots opened the 2006
season with a 28-14 win at West Chester. Even more incredible, he be
came the first coach since Sox Harrison in 1926, the first year of football
at Edinboro, to win his first two games. (For more on Scott Brooming, see
pages 6-7.)
John Luckhardt (Purdue '68) became Cal's head coach in 2002 after an
illustrious 17-year tenure at Washington & Jefferson. Luckhardt guided
The Presidents to a 137-37-2 record, winning 13 Presidents' Athletic Con
ference titles. W&J made 11 appearances in the NCAA Division III Play
offs, reaching the championship game twice. He is now in his fifth season
at Cal, showing a 27-20 ledger. He has guided the Vulcans to back-toback winning seasons, something hadn't happened since 1986-87, and
last year's PSAC West co-title was the first championship in 21 years. In
addition, the eight wins were the most since 1984.
The Edinhoro-CalifbmiaCPa.) Series
Tied cd 35-35-2
The Last Meeting
2005 — C€difomiaCPa.) 36, Edinboro 26
Cal rallied for two touchdowns in the final seven-plus minutes of the
game to overcome a 26-22 deficit. The see-saw affair saw the lead change
hands seven times, with the Vulcans grabbing the lead for good on a 23yard pass from Joe Ruggiero to Nate Forse with 7:05 remaining. It was
Ruggiero's third TD pass of the game.
;
Edinboro proceeded to drive down to the Cal 17, but a tipped pass
ended up in the hands of Antwjuan Cox, who returned the pickoff 58
yards, aided by a penalty, to the Boro 17. Antoine Bagwell scored three
plays later on an 18-yard nm with 1:48 to play to put the game out of
reach.
The Fighting Scots finished the day with 369 yards, with Justin Bouch
completing 23 of 36 passes for 242 yards and a TD, although he threw
three interceptions. C.J. Trivisonno enjoyed his finest day as a Fighting
scot with 6 catches for 68 yards and a TD. Kelvin Collins paced the
grormd game with 17 carries for 90 yards.
Cal ran up 404 total yards, with Ruggiero completing 24 of 35 passes
for 294 yards. Forse hauled in 10 passes for 121 yards. BagweU added 109
yards on 21 rushes.
Last Week’s Games
IndianaCPa.) 23, Edinboro 20 ot
After rallying from a 17-7 deficit entering the fourth quarter, the
Fighting Scots squandered a late lead to lose in overtime. Nick Wallace
sent the game into overtime with a 25-yard field goal as time expired,
then booted a 37-yarder to give lUP the win.
Edinboro took the opening kickoff and drove 69 yards, with Trevor
Harris hooking up with Ryan Valasek for a 20-yard touchdown. The
Scots proceeded to turn the ball over four times the rest of the half, with
one halting a drive inside the lUP ten yard line, and another resulting in
a fumble return for a touchdown.
Following a scoreless third period, Edinboro scored twice in the first
eight minutes of the fourth stanze to grab a 20-17 lead. Harris found Kyle
Witucki for a 15-yard pass early in the period, and Ulysee "Spud" Davis
added a one-yard scoring run with 7:46 to play. The extra point was
missed after the second touchdown, however.
Edinboro got the ball first in overtime, but failed to score when Kody
Robertson's 40-yard field attempt was no good.
Cal\fomiaCEa.) 51, Eock. Haven y
The Vulcans had no problems with backup quarterback Matt Hum
bert at the controls, rolling to a 37-0 first-quarter lead. Brandon Lom
bardy scored on runs of 8 and 89 yards in the first five minutes of the
game, and Josh Kemp returned an interception and a fumble for scores.
Cal finished with 337 yards while limiting the Bald Eagles to 178.
The Vulcan defense limited LHU to just four net yards rushing and came
up with four turnovers and three sacks.

Cahfomia(Pa.) finished in a tie with Edinboro for the PSAC West crown,
its first divisional title in 21 years. The Vulcans entered the season as the
preseason favorites in the PSAC West... the Cal offense features a veteran
group, with six seniors and a graduate student in the starting lineup,
dong with a big front line. Four of the five starters tip the scales at better
than 300 poimds, with an average of 303.4 lbs. per man. The unit, which
has not allowed a sack in five games, is led by Tim McCutcheon, a 305
lb. junior center who was a first team All-PSAC West choice at guard in
2005 ... the offense also has seven players who previously played at an
other school. That includes Brandon Lombardy, a 224 lb. tailback who
began his career at Purdue, Nate Forse, a wide receiver who was at West
\Trginia, and Joe Ruggiero, the starting quarterback and a transfer from
Wayne State. Lombardy is second in the PSAC with 628 yards rushing,
witii 10 TDs. Forse and Ruggiero were both first team all-conference se
lections a year ago. Forse has 22 catches, while Ruggiero has thrown for
799 yards and 7 TDs despite sitting out last week's game... Marc Hud
dleston is a former transfer from Purdue who leads the Vulcans with 27
catches and 5 TDs while playing in a reserve role... the defense added a
trio of transfers this year in DE Kirby Griffin (lUP), CB Travis Williams
(Toledo), and FS Jermaine More (West Virginia).
Scots Need to Rev Up Ground Game
Edinboro head coach Scott Browning is a firm believer in a strong run
ning game. It is clearly evident that the Fighting Scots have a much better
chance to win when they can run the football. Consider that in Edin
boro's three wins the Fighting Scots are averaging 195.7 yards per game
on the ground. In the two losses, the Fighting Scots have totaled 42 vs.
Bloomsburg and 54 against Indiana(Pa.).
Edinboro Suffers Back-to-Back Home
Losses for First Time Since 2002
With losses to Bloomsburg and lndiana(Pa.) in the last two home games,
Edinboro has dropped back-to-back home games for the first time since
2002. That season the Fighting Scots lost to Indiana(Pa.), Clarion and
Kutztown in succession.
Pickle Now Tied for 6tb in Receptions
Ryan Valasek posted his second straight 100-yard game and third of his
career with 4 catches for 115 yards against Indiana(Pa.). That helped
move the senior wide receiver into a tie for sixth place in career receptions
with 91. He is tied with Lateef Walters and lim Beacham. He is also tied
for fourth in career touchdown receptions with 16 after hauling in a 20yarder last week. Finally, he sits in eighth place in career receiving yards
with 1,635.
Harris Not Playing Like a Freshman
Edinboro has outscored the opposition 65-7 in those two periods.
Quarterly Report — Vulcan Style
Califomia(Pa.) has also been stingy in the first quarter. In fact, the Vul
cans have yet to give up a point in the opening 15 minutes. The Vulcans
are known for their quick starts, holding a 64-0 lead after one quarter
and 118-34 advantage in the first half. Consider that Cal led Cheyney
40-0 at the half, and this past week was ahead 37-7 at the half.
Next for the Fighting Scots
Edinboro concludes a three-game homestand on Saturday, October 14
while celebrating Family Weekend. East Stroudsburg will provide the
opposition, with Harlon Hill Award winner Jimmy Terwilliger leading
the Warriors. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m.

In the post-game press conference following last Saturday's game with
Indiana(Pa.), Edinboro head coach Scott Browning noted that Trevor
Harris played like a freshman at times. But he'll glady take the majority
of the time, when the 6'3", 194 lb. redshirt freshman has been a bright
spot. The first freshman to start a season opener for Edinboro since Brian
Caldwell in 1997, Harris threw for a season-high 272 yards against lUP,
wth 2 TDs and an INT. He has already thrown for 992 yards with 9 TDs.
Looking at other freshmen signalcallers at Edinboro, C^dwell threw for
1,579 yards and 9 TDs his first season, while Jody Dickerson had 1,362
and 8, respectively. Justin Bouch, who Harris replaced, threw for 1,183
yards with 4 TDs.
If it's an odd numbered quarter, you can figure it will be tough to score
on the Edinboro defense. The Fighting Scots have given up just seven
points in the first quarter, and that came this past week against
Indiana(Pa.), and have yet to allow a point in the third quarter. Overall,

Dear Family, Friends and Fans of the Fighting Scots:
We are engaged in one of the most exciting years in the history ofEdinboro University - our school's 150^'^
anniversary, the Sesquicentennial. This year also promises to be one of our best for our athletics programs as
they strive to match last year's incredible successes, when many of our teams and athletes went on to post-sea
son competition.
Much of the success of our men's and women's athletic teams is due to your loyal support of our scholar-ath
letes in basketball, cross country, football, soccer, softball, swimming, track, volleyball, and wrestling, as well
as wheelchair basketball and other adaptive sports.
The long legacy ofEdinboro athletics will be one of the highlights celebrated during our Sesquicentennial in
2006-2007. As we prepare to celebrate the University's 150*^ anniversary, we are guided by the theme "Build
ing a prosperous future through academic excellence and civility." Our athletes' dedication to education, disci
pline, and sportsmanship that are at the heart ofEdinboro athletics will serve them well as they pursue their dreams beyond the playing
fields of their alma mater. Their success in competitive endeavors will contribute to the quality of life on our campus and throughout
the communities of northwestern Pennsylvania.
Fans of the Fighting Scots are always welcome at Edinboro University and I look forward to greeting you at our many athletic, cultural
and arts presentations. Please visit our campus as often as possible.
Go Scots!

Edinboro Football 2006 ♦ Tbe
arrison Field
Sox Harrison Stadium serves as the home of the Fighting Scots.
Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis "Sox"
Harrison, the head football and basketball coach at Edinboro University
for 34 years. Sox Harrison was the key figure in the building of Edin-
boro's athletic program, unselfishly devoting 34 years of service to the
University as an athletic director, coach and physical education instruc
tor. Appropriately, he was the first member inducted into the Edinboro
Athletic Hall of Fame in 1982.
Harrison coached the Fighting Scot football team from its inception
in 1926 to 1938, the returned to guide the gridders in 1941 and '42. In
addition, he coached the men's basketball team for 23 seasons, from 192853, winning 175 games.
Sox Harrison Stadium seats 6,000 people in its two grandstands,
along with plenty of standing room. In addition to press boxes on both
sides of the stadium, the facility has locker rooms, a training room and
complete amenities for fans.
The stadium has undergone several renovations, including a new
sound system and improved handicapped access areas in 1999. In 1997,
a new grandstand was constructed on the visitor's side of the field,
adding 2,500 permanent seats, along with a press box, locker rooms and
a training room.
In addition to the football field, the facility contains complete track
facilities.

Once he committed
to dissecting film, QB
Troy Smith left Ohio
State with no
choice but to
commit to him.
CHANCE
By Albert Breer
aybe Troy Smith was expecting
comfort.
After all, if there was a bigger
bump in the road than what the Ohio
State quarterback faced against Penn
State last fall, it’d be hard to
find it.
There was the intercep
tion he threw to Calvin
Lowry, who ran it back to the
2 to set up a score that gave
the Nittany Lions a 14-3
lead. There was the fumble
that came with 1:30 to go, a
strip sack by Tamba Mali
that effectively ended Smith
and the Buckeyes’ come
back hopes. There was the
fact the final was 17-1 □ and
both plays hugely impacted
the result.
And heck, it was his high
school coach, Cleveland
Glenville’s Ted Ginn Sr., on
the other end of the line,
someone Smith views as a
“father figure.’’
But instead of some cod
dling, Ginn decided Smith
needed something else.
Tough love.
Transfer, Ginn said. Go
play the option somewhere.
Or get in the film room
and become a complete quarterback.
Smith listened. He stuck around and
over the Buckeyes’ final seven games
completed 104 of his 156 passes (67
percent] for 1,725 yards and 13
scores, against just two picks.
In 2006, he’s not just a complete
quarterback. He may very well be
the best one in the entire country.
I
Which puts him squarely in the race
for the Heisman.
And after last year’s experience, he
knows exactly how things have come to
this point.
“My biggest weakness was neglect
ing film study, and at this level you have
to break down every aspect of the
game,” Smith says. “While you’re sleep
ing, someone’s breaking down game
film. So as much as you can, film
study’s the key.”
The numbers before Smith renewed
his commitment to game tape clearly
show that. After missing the opener
against Miami of Ohio, the then-junior
scuffled through the next four games,
completing 45 of his B1 passes (55
percent) for 557 yards, three touch
downs and two picks.
Plus, he was taking a beat
ing, averaging 16 carries a
game through that stretch.
Yes, there was the 127 yards
on the ground against Iowa.
But there was also 15 yards on
19 carries against Penn State.
It wasn’t efficient, and
worse, getting through all the
hits was becoming a chore.
“At the end of the day,
you’re gonna be beat up, tak
ing 25, 30 hits a game, and
they don’t need someone
who’s gonna be hurt when you
i;
need them the most because
you ran,” Ginn observed. “I told
him to be a quarterback.
Learn the game, so you don’t
have to use your shoes.”
That’s a lesson Smith had
to learn, and just one of the
many it’s taken to get him
where he is.
His shoes, and not his arm,
got him where he was.
The mind-blowing athleticism is what
jumped off the screen when he was
being recruited, what got Ohio State to
bring the offer.
The problem, for Smith, was that
Justin Zwick—^the most heralded quar
terback recruit to hit Columbus since
Art Schlichter in 1978—was already in
the fold in the 2002 class.
“A lot of people probably felt that was
a bad move,” says Ginn of Smith’s com
mitment. “I think certain people were
asking Troy, and they asked me. Why
would he go to Ohio State?’ ”
Smith himself never thought that way.
“It was a no-brainer,” he says.
He’s an Ohio kid, see, and being a
Buckeye was all he wanted to be. So he
arrived and redshirted in 2002.
And went along for the ride as
Ohio State went 14-0 and won the
national title.
“We had leaders all through that
team, standup guys that if you needed
them, you could depend of them
being there,” Smith says. “The offense
was great, putting points up, but
our defense was just phenomenal. We
had 11 guys on the field, and 11
leaders, guy that took what they did
serious at all times.”
The lesson was there. It’d just take
time for Smith to learn it.
The arm, too, the Ohio State coach
es would learn, was there.
A hose, really.
It was just a matter of when they’d
use it. Before they did, he watched.
“Troy’s very observant,” said Ohio
State coach Jim Tressel. “I think he
picked up a little bit from everybody.”
The time to use that came in 2004,
Smith’s sophomore year, when he
replaced a struggling Zwick.
A tough 3-3 start turned into a 4-1
finish for Ohio State. He was uneven at
times, sure, and there was no bigger
evidence than three picks in the one
loss to Purdue.
Still, he had a knack for the big
moments and, at Ohio State, they don’t
come any bigger than the Michigan
game. On that stage, he threw for 241
yards and two touchdowns, ran for
145 yards and another score and the
underdog
Buckeyes
blasted the
Wolverines 37-21.
The message was simple: Yes, he
was still inconsistent, but his team
mates could count on him when it mat
tered most. Then, the message was
erased.
The NCAA sniffed around and found
he’d picked up $500 from a booster
and suspended him for the Alamo Bowl.
“Any person can make a decision for
themselves, good or bad, and when
they make that decision, it will reflect on
their life,” Smith explains. “I learned that
firsthand. I couldn’t be with the team at
the Alamo Bowl and. through that, I
learned the value of team.”
Another lesson, this time hammered
home.
When the suspension, finally, was lift
ed before the Week 2 intersectional
showdown with Texas, Smith was ready
to lead the team, with his arm and feet.
In turn, his teammates was set to follow.
“He’s got a sense of impending great
ness about him,” Tressel says. “An
aura, he’s got it. People like to follow
people that have it.
But the coaches, after an awkward
offseason of shuttling Zwick and Smith
in and out, weren’t ready to give Smith
the reins after starting the former in
the season-opening win over Miami of
Ohio. The coaches alternated the two
against the Longhorns, never deciding
on one to stick with.
Thing was, what Smith saw on the
other side was a coaching staff with no
such problems. Vince Young was Texas’
man, no ifs, ands or buts about it. And
like Smith had in the past. Young deliv
ered when his team needed him most.
There was a difference, though.
“He came to our stadium,” Smith
says, “and it was a pass that beat us.”
Smith, of course, went back and
wished it was he that threw the pass.
Instead, he finished the game on the
sideline, watching as Zwick fumbled to
effectively end any last-minute come
back hopes.
What he did get was his job back.
But the games that followed paled in
comparison to playing the Longhorns.
And Smith didn’t treat them like the
Texas game. Or like he treated the
Michigan game.
Which was a problem.
“(Michigan) makes it seem like every
other game doesn’t measure up—that
game’s a season in itself,” he explains.

Tressel, for one, believes it. His
teammates do too.
“They’ve seen him do it, battle
through adversity, do special
things,” Tressel says. “Now the
question is can we do it over
time? Troy had signs of it. But to
use those rare words, national
championship, he has to do it all
over time.”
To get there now, he studies,
throws and, sure, runs when he
needs to. And
in doing that, again, sets an
example for everyone to follow.
“First and foremost, I want
the guys to know I’ll be the guy
to step to the forefront and lead
by example in all; ways,” Smith
says. “I’ll let my play do the
talking, but when I do voice my
opinion. I’m standing up for all
105 guys. I want them to know
I’ll be that guy.”
His career coming full circle.
The team was winning. Until
Penn State. Another lesson, one
it took a bad loss to teach.
The next four games were
against Michigan State, Indiana,
Minnesota and Illinois. In the
past, those were games Smith
might’ve used to showcase his
legs against teams he may not
have studied much.
No more.
In three of the four, he posted
quarterback ratings above 200.
The low watermark in passing
yardage for that stretch was
226, and his TD-INT ratio was
10-1. In none did he run more
than a dozen times.
He was becoming, yes, a
quarterback.
“It’s in coverage recognition,
right away, when you get to the
line,” Smith says. “Down and dis-
Maybe Troy Smith Is Ohio State’s top Heisman Trophy candidate.
Or maybe it’s Ted Ginn.
What seems certain Is that, whoever It Is, that player has come
out of Cleveland Glenville High School. That’s where both Smith and
Ginn went. It’s also where last year’s Buckeye All-American safety,
Donte Whitner, graduated from.
And even with a guy like Whitner gone to the NFL, the eighth over
all pick In its draft, seven Glenville alums dot the Ohio State roster.
Which, at this point, seems to be no coincidence.
“I think success breeds success,” says Ohio State coach Jim
Tressel, who’s known Glenville coach Ted Ginn Sr. for more than 20
years. ‘People see opportunity, and there is the open enrollment
opportunity and kids that want to be that good, go there. [Buckeye
freshman] Robert Rose didn't start at Glenville, he started at
Cleveland Central Catholic. But he didn’t feel challenged there and he
wanted to be want challenged. ”
Smith, too, was a transfer, moving over to Glenville from Lakewood
St. Edward before his senior year. And even though St. Ed’s, too, is a
respected big-school power In Ohio, there was no comparison.
“It was a wake-up call, coming from St Ed’s, ’’ Smith said. “When I
tance, my protections, things like that. I
was living in our playbook and gameplan, so when something happened, I
knew it was coming. It wasn’t a sur
prise.”
By doing it, when Michigan rolled
around and Notre Dame followed them
in the Fiesta Bowl, Smith wasn’t
just drawing a big-game cram session.
He was ready going into game prep
got to Glenville, they were running circles around me. I was an
extremely competitive guy and it was a humbling experience. It would
be for anyone, facing five or six Div. I athletes. ”
The scary thing Is that the pipeline just seems to be getting deep
er. While Ginn, Smith and safety Jamarlo O’Neal are starters at Ohio
State, and Curtis Terry’s in the linebacker rotation, the other three exTarblooders are true freshmen.
Those guys were part of a 200o Glenville class that boasted 15
Div. I signees, eight of whom will play at Big Ten schools. And the funny
thing about is that Ginn actually resists the Idea that competition
inside his teams have created this haven for future college stars.
“I’ve always tried to eliminate that, ” says Ginn, who enters his 10th
season as head coach and his 33rd season coaching overall at
Glenville. "We’re teaching a family atmosphere. They're not competing
with each other and. If they are, they’re being selfish. We talk about
faith and family and If you start talking about competing with one
another, you’re trying to separate yourself from the rest. ”
But in a way, that’s just what the Glenville alumni has done.

lorget three
lyards and a
cloud of dust.
In the recent
history of college
football, several
programs have forsaken the so-called
balanced attack, a.k.a. ground game,
for an all-out aerial assault.
This avant-garde approach has ran
kled traditionalists and spawned a host of
critics, but there is no arguing with its
success. BYU and Florida both won
national championships with it. Heisman
Trophy winners have prospered in it.
including Ty Detmer, Danny Wuerffel and
Andre Ware. And it has rejuvenated
downtrodden programs such as Houston,
Hawaii and Texas Tech.
“You want to utilize all of your skills
guys, make sure they contribute to the
offensive effort,” said Texas Tech head
coach Mike Leach, one of the game’s
offensive Einstein’s. “The notion that
there is some magic to running it 50
percent of the time and throwing it 50
percent when you’re only utilizing two or
three guys, that’s just not true.
“The guy who runs it between the
tackles and gets somewhere between
2 and 3 yards every play, there’s noth
ing sacred about that.”
Well, there is if your name happens to
be Woody Hayes. Nowadays, coaches
are opting for spreads and flooded pass
ing lanes. And the results speak volumes.
In 2005, nine l-A teams averaged
more than 300 yards passing per game.
led by Texas Tech {388.8) and Hawaii
(384.3). Last season: saw passing
records galore for attempts (32.0), con>
pletions (18.5), completion rate (57.9%),
and yardage (224.6). In addition, total
offense (379.7) and scoring (26.8
points) were close to all-time highs.
“If you look over the years, teams
who have spread the field have been the
most productive,” said Hawaii coach
June Jones. “If you look at what the
Indianapolis Colts are doing now, for all
intents and purposes, they’re spreading
the field, running a one-back with
Peyton (Manning). Look at what’s hap
pened to 8YU since they stopped run
ning that offense LaVell Edwards ran."
No less an authority than 1996
Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel,
the quaptdrback and triggerman for
Florida’s Tun ‘n’ Gun offense, believes the
pinball-like offensive numbers are great
for fans and quarterbacks alike.
“I think people love to see scoring,”
said Wuerffel. “I think they love to see
plays made and see the receivers make
the great catches. That is exciting."
Wuerffel added: “If you look at the
history of college football, in the 196Ds I
and '70s you had a lot of smash-mouth,
grind-it-out offense. Then in the ’80s
you had some really good offensive
teams and some successful run ‘n’
shoot teams, and then in the ’90s wittt
the success (Steve) Spurrier had with
his wide-open approach. I think that
really caused some coaches to look at
the game a little bit differently and play
more wide-open.”
The ringleader of this trend is Texas
Tech’s Leach, whose offense boasts a
football programs have done so in prolific fashion.
4-to-1 passing to rushing yardage ratio.
Last season, the Red Raiders won the
NCAA passing title for the fourth year in
a row and led the nation in completions
and attempts.
Since 2000, Tech has clearly estab
lished itself as Gunslinger U. Last year’s
starter, Cody Hodges, became the
fourth Red Raider to lead the nation in
passing in as many years. His predeces
sors—Kliff Kingsbury, 8.J. Symons and
Sonny Cumbie—have also flourished. In
2004, Cumbie topped Division l-A in
total offense, averaging 381.3 yards
per game while throwing for a whopping
4,742 yards. In 2(X)3, Symons, a
Heisman Trophy candidate, capped

yards. A year earlier, Kliff Kingsbury fin
ished his senior campaign ranked in
total offense (2nd), completions (1st),
attempts (1st) and passing touchdowns
{1st), while setting 17 NCAA marks.
“You want stuff simple enough that
they can trigger it quickly, that they
don’t have to sit and dwell on what
they’re doing next,” said Leach, who
eschews a playbook in favor of teaching

Calling his offense a “catch-all,
controlled passing game,” Leach says
the key when it comes to designing an
offense is packaging it.
“I don’t think the trick is in dreaming
it up because there are so many plays
out there,” he said. “But I think you
ought to have the ability to attack the
whole field. You want to get the ball into
everybody’s hands.”
Leach attended BYU and admits the
offense that was run during the LaVell
Edwards era had a huge and profound
influence on his philosophy. Prior to
coming to Tech, Leach developed a rep
utation for directing some very prolific
passing games that have broken school
and NCAA records at Valdosta State,
Kentucky and Oklahoma.

and technique without any hesitation.
You want to synchronize everyone so
that they’re really working together. If
you get good distribution, then I think it
puts a natural stress on a defense to
try and stop it.”
The father and instigator, if you will,
of the pass first, ask questions later
approach is former BYU coaching great
LaVell Edwards, considered one of col
lege football’s foremost teachers of the
pro-style passing attack.
Edwards’ offense was, for all intents
and purposes, a precursor of the West
Coast offense. And the list of former
Cougars quarterbacks reads like a who’s
who of top-flight signal callers: Gary
Sheide, Gifford Neilsen, Jim McMahon,
Marc Wilson, Steve Young, Robbie
n
*
Bosco, Detmer and Steve Sarkisian.
Even some of Edwards’ assistants who
came through the BYU system have
become synonymous with their proactive
approach to offense: Norm Chow (who
spent 27 years at BYU), Mike Holmgren.
Brian Billick and Andy Reid.
“We ran basically what is called the
Pro Set,” said Edwards. “We split out two
wide receivers. I knew I wanted to throw
the football and I knew what gave us
problems. We always had a problem with
speed at BYU. So I decided this was the
best formation for us to use and it would
help us create a little more difficulty for
the defense. We started pretty much
mainstream and more or less just
expanded it and kept doing it.”
He added: “We were able to come up
with some mismatches and create more
personnel problems by spreading the
wideouts, having men in motion, and
install formations that were predicated
on the passing game. A lot of what we
did was based on throwing the ball short,
more of a ball control thing.”
Under Edwards’ tutelage. BYU led
the nation in passing offense eight
times, total offense five times and
scoring three times. In all, Edwards’
quarterbacks threw for more than
100,000 yards and 635 touchdowns in
his pass-dominated scheme.
“Sometimes it was mind-boggling the
amount of points we would score or the
number of yards we would have,” said
Edwards. “I think the only way that you
could have stopped us was if you had
superior talent up front, if you could pro
vide a rush and get to the passer. If you
could get to our quarterback with a mini
mum amount of blitzing, you would be OK.
But if all you did was blitz, then we had a
pretty good ability to pick you apart.”
Ironically, it was Edwards’ penchant
for defense that spawned BYU’s offen
sive juggernaut. Prior to becoming head
coach in 1972, Edwards had been the
Cougars’ defensive coordinator. He
recalled in his early days that BYU
threw the ball a little bit more when it
had former QB Virgil Carter, who set six
NCAA passing records, at the helm.
When Carter graduated, the program
got away from its passing philosophy.
“I just said, ‘Hey, whatever we have
been doing hasn’t been successful. So
let’s try something new,’ ” Edwards
recounted. “I just figured from a defen
sive standpoint that we needed to do
something differently. So I began to give
the offense more thought, develop a
philosophy, hire the right people to help
run it, and that helped us. The guy who
really who tied the whole thing together
was Doug Scovil. He had worked with
the 49ers. Bill Walsh is the guy who
helped me hire Doug. And this was
before Bill became famous what is now
referred to as the West Coast offense.”
Before Steve Spurrier’s Fun ‘n’ Gun
offense debuted in the Southeastern
Conference, it was notorious as a ball
control, grind-it-out league. He singlehandedly forced a change. The “Cl’ Ball
Coach’s” basic philosophy was one of
attacking the defense, not just taking
what the defense gives you such as the
West Coast offense. Every play run has
the potential for something big.
That mentality resulted in six SEC
titles and the 1996 national champi
onship, the first in the program’s histo
ry. Surprisingly, according to Wuerffel,
the offense was pretty balanced.
“You do end up running the ball about
half the time.” he said. “But it’s the com
plement to the passing game. I think one
of the reasons why [Spurrier] is success
ful running the ball is because defenses
are so geared to stop the pass. One of
the things that’s different about his
offense is that all the reads are downfield, first and short. In other offenses,
you will have plays where you may read a
flat route or you may read a middle route
or you may read something else. That
was never the case at Florida.
“You were looking dovvnfield and you
threw it. A lot of it was built on timing
and attacking a particular defense. It
wasn’t just a play that would work against
a certain defense and you could try and
make it work. It was more of a philoso
phy of being the right play run against the
right defense that gives you the best
chance. As the quarterback, it was like a
chess match and a real battle.”
For many programs, the decision to go
for broke offensively hinges on making
a sudden and dramatic impact. Not to
mention, sheer survival.
“I think whenever you’re at a place
like Hawaii or a place where you have to

records for total offensive yards
(17,183), most offensive plays
(2,61 D), most interceptions (77)
and is second to Detmer’s 121
touchdown passes (117).
Last season as a sophomore.
Warriors junior QB Colt Brennan

(35), passing yards (4,3D1), pass
ing average (358.4), total offense
(371.3), and points responsible for

“I do think it is a little bit harder
to defend,” said Jones of the run
‘n’ shoot. “For example, we run
four wideouts. Most teams are
lucky if they have two corners that
are quality enough to cover man to
man on every play. When you line
up with four wideouts, that puts
beat the big boys, you better do some
thing unique,” said Hawaii head coach
June Jones. “And we certainly have a lit
tle bit of a unique approach in the way
we try to play. It neutralizes the playing
field against the teams that might be
better than us.”
Since Jones became the Warriors
coach, the program has done a com
plete about-face, mainly due to the
implementation of the run ‘n’ shoot
offense. Jones has been a major propo
nent of the run ‘n’ shoot from his days
as an NFL coach with Detroit, Houston
and Atlanta. His assistant coach.
Mouse Davis, introduced the run ‘n’
shoot in 1975, his first year as coach
for Portland State University.
Davis’ teams led the nation in pass
ing and total offense for six consecutive
years, averaging over 5,DDD yards of
total offense per season and 35 points
per game. PSU also led the nation in
scoring in three of those years. Under
Davis’ direction, Portland State set 2D
NCAA Division l-AA offensive records.
Jones’ offense has led the Western
Athletic Conference and been ranked in
the top five nationally each season,
including second in the country the last
five years. Last season Hawaii’s potent
passing attack (384.2 ypg) ranked sec
ond nationally. In 2D04, ex-Warrior
quarterback Timmy Chang became the
NCAA’s all-time leading passer, compil
ing 17,D72 yards. Chang also holds
the third and fourth best corners on the
field against your starters.”
To play quarterback for Jones, it
helps if you’re cerebral, intelligent and
can digest the copious amounts of infor
mation. By the same token, also be a
kid who is patient so that he can wait
for things to come to him so that the
offense works.
Said Jones: “I think that’s accurate in
both cases. But I do think this: Because
of the way we teach and the way we
insert, we have proven that we can
have success with people that are not
cerebral, per se. The reason is that our
receivers read the field as they are run
ning routes on most of our plays. And
the quarterback is asked to read one
guy and then go through his progres
sions. We ask our quarterbacks to read
just one guy on each different play. So,
consequently, he doesn’t have to see
everything on the field whereas in most
offenses the quarterback is asked to.”
While the run ‘n’ shoot has found a
home in Honolulu, it first appeared on
the college scene at the University of
Houston. Head coach Jack Pardee
installed the offense during a period
where he had two sensational quarter
backs in Andre Ware and David Klingler.
In 1989, Ware, who became the
first African-American quarterback to
win the Heisman Trophy, had a dream
junior season. In his first ID games he
completed 329 of 516 attempts for
4,299 yards and 44 touchdowns.
Overall, he amassed 4,699 yards and
46 touchdowns. Ware set 26 NCAA
records during his career, forgoing his
senior season to enter the NFL Draft.
Klingler stepped right in following
Ware’s departure and the Cougar
offense didn’t miss a beat. In 1990, he
broke or tied 33 NCAA game and sea
son records as he led Houston to 10-1
record in a season that saw him collect
54 touchdown passes and 5,140 yards.
Against Eastern Washington, Klingler set
the single-game TD pass record of 11. A
week later, in the season finale against
Arizona State, he threw for an NCAA
record 732 yards. The native Houstonian
finished his collegiate career with 9,430
yards aind 91 TD passes.
There’s no debating that the air raid
has become prominent in college foot
ball and should continue unabated. The
guys behind center couldn’t be happier.
“When you’re 5 years old and you’re
playing football in your backyard, it’s all
about throwing and catching,” said
Wuerffel. “That’s what’s fun. And what
happens typically as you get older is that
you have so many other things going on
that are part of the game that you tend
to hand the ball off more often. So the
opportunity to continue doing the thing
you just naturally love, in a competitive
environment, and helping your team win,
that’s the most fun. That is why quarter
backs become quarterbacks.”

with a splash of serious school
pride. After all. Pitt was only
ranked ninth entering the season,
and the Irish had all summer to
concoct the perfect game plan
[and grow the stadium turf three
inches deep] to stop the nation’s
most electrifying running back.
Johnny Majors. Pitt’s head
coach on that sunny Saturday in
September, smiles at the recollection. As a single-wing back
at Tennessee, he finished second to Hornung for the Heisman.
so pardon the 71-year-old college football Hall of Famer for
enjoying a good-natured chuckle. 30 autumns later.
I remember Paul saying, ‘Notre Dame’s been setting their
sights on Tony and when Notre Dame sets their sights on
anybody, no one can run it down their throats,’ ” Majors said,
rising from his blue leather chair in a Pitt athletics depart
ment conference room for dramatic effect. “He told the
crowd. If Dorsett gets 2qq yards against Notre Dame
tomorrow. I’ll jump out of the press box.’
“That’s all true.”
One-seventy ... 175 ... Wow^ that’s a long way down ...
For Hornung, there was good news and bad news. The
good: Dorsett finished 19 ygp^jg
sending the Golden
Boy out that press box window. The bad: He did enough
damage to help Pitt defeat Notre Dame. 31-ID. and become
the all-time leading rusher against the Irish with 754 yards in
‘^°^P'®f^®'^ting his 209 yards as a freshman
and 3D3 as a junior, a record that still stands.
Most importantly, however, Pitt’s victory in front of
a nations teevision audience returned a once-moribund
program to gridiron prominence and set the stage for an
undefeated championship season. But it wasn’t easy.
to play in the National Football League
in 1977. According to Majors, this
was a team in the truest sense of the
word, the culmination of four years
together, elevating a program that won
only one game in 1972.
“We had no weaknesses,” said
Majors, who began his first season
with the Panthers in ’73 with a repu
tation for raising the dead. Two years
earlier, he resurrected Iowa State—
Iowa State—by leading the Cyclones
to an 8-4 record and a bowl berth,
garnering Big Eight Coach of the Year
honors to show for it.
“I don’t think we had a vulnerable
spot on our team,” he said. “We had
a great offense and a great kicking game. Virtually every
offensive lineman started two years or more. They were
intelligent, disciplined and strong. Our punter and kick
er were four-year starters.
“Defensively, we had an outstanding group. Our rush
defense and pass defense were superb. In the Sugar
Bowl, when we beat Georgia, [Alabama head coach Paul]
‘Bear’ Bryant was quoted as saying we had the most out
standing secondary he had ever seen on a football field.”
And. of course, there was the running game, led by No. 33.
Dorsett, a four-year All-American, would finish his career
as the all-time leading rusher in college football, amassing
6,526 yards, including bowl games. Along the way, he
chalked up 18 NCAA records, 37 school records, rushed for
at least 100 yards in 36 games, including 20 in a row, and
rang up 380 career points. But the numbers, gaudy as they
are, don’t tell the whole story.
By 76, teams were following Notre Dame’s defensive blue
print. devising specific schemes to stop Dorsett. as well as
fullback Elliott Walker, a talented junior who finished his
career as Pitt’s No. 2 all-time ^rusher. Shut down Pitt’s ground
attack, it was thought, and yt)u’ll shut down the Panthers.
Within six weeks, this approach was a prerequisite
for defensive coordinators everywhere, as Pitt’s top two

resno State head coach
at Hill is in his iOth
season of taking on
II comers. IMow he
are ready to
“finish the
job.”
By Jon Cooper
all him persistent or just plain stubborn, but Fresno State
coach Pat Hill has something to say to the college football’s
big guys—especially the BCS—and is determined to get
their ear. He’s been at it so long and gotten so good at it that
they’re starting to listen.
For nine seasons, Hill, the longest-tenured coach in
the Western Athletic Conference and secondlongest in the west, has used his squad to make a
case for the “little guys” of college football, although
it hasn’t been easy to get people’s attention.
“I think a lot of it has to do with the idea that
a lot of people don’t want to see the little guy step
up and sit at the table with the big guys,” said
Hill, whose 2001 Fresno State team reached as
high as No. 8 in the nation. “College football is
more of a beauty contest.”
From the day Hill returned to the small San
Joaquin Valley school, where he served as an
assistant for five years under legendary head coach
Jim Sweeney before serving as an NFL assistant
coach for four years under Bill Belichick in Cleveland,
he had two goals in mind—restore the glory to a
program that hadn’t had a winning season in the four
previous years and do it the right way.
He started by adopting the motto “Anybody, Anytime,
C
illers
Anywhere.” Then, when the time came to back up the talk, the
Bulldogs always answered the call, almost always doing so in
someone else’s house.
“We’ve played 34 BCS teams, teams that have been either
Top 25 teams or coming off a bowl game the previous year
and only four of those games have been at home,” Hill point
ed out. “The rest of them have been on the road. So we have
played a very, very, very tough schedule. What we’ve learned
from it is that we have to play at a high level every week.”
Hill entered 2006 with a 72-43 overall record, a .626
winning percentage (in WAC play he’s 50-21, a .704 winning
percentage) and has taken the Bulldogs to seven straight bowl
games. That’s more consecutive bowl appearances than any
school in the Pacific, Mountain and Hawaiian time zones.
Last Nov. 19, in Los Angeles, Fresno nearly toppled
the biggest kid on the block, pushing No. 1 USC to the limit,
actually holding a one-point lead late in the fourth quarter
before falling, 50-42.
Wide receivers Joe
Fernondez and Paul
Williams (below)
combined for 15 TO
9^(ches in 5005.^
Hill holds to the same moral
standards when it comes to
recruiting. He only recruits kids in v
the state of California, primarily in
the Valley, and makes his judgments based on one-on-one inter- ■
views and film, not ratings services ^
or recruitment publications.
Although a hackneyed cliche, I

have fallen to Fresno
since 2000.
“If winning the WAC
would get you to a
national playoff then we’d
change the way we
schedule,” he said. “But
winning the WAC doesn’t
change postseason. The only thing that
changes postseason is if you can play a great
non-league schedule and go undefeated. We’ve
chosen that path.
‘The only way you make headway is by win
ning,” he concluded. “Close doesn’t count. We’re
knocking on the door. We just have to open it
one time and then people will notice. We’re doing
it the right way. We just have to finish it.”
1
era at Fresno State.
“I’m very proud of what we’ve
done as far as graduation rates
and academic progress,” stated
Hill. We have doubled our gradua
tion rate and with the new NCAA
standards of APR, with the
Academic Progress Rate of our
students, we’ll be the fifth-highest
in the Western United States. Only
one school in California—that’s
Stanford—is higher than us.”
The 2005 Academic AIFWAC
team included a school-record 14
Fresno State players, the seventh straight season Fresno pro
duced at least eight Academic All-WAC players. Prior to Hill’s
arrival, the Bulldogs had produced nine Academic AllAmericans total and never more than two in a season.
Then there s the graduation rate of his players to the pros.
“We had nine guys sign pro contracts last year, we had
nine guys listed as possible for next year,” said Hill. “So when
Yet it still seems that the only way Fresno State is men
tioned in the same breath as a top-25 team is when they are
lined up across from one of them.
With another difficult non-conference schedule ahead in
2006, Hill challenged his team, instituting a new mottoFinish the job.”
Its very hard to schedule in the west, but the teams that
we get to play are not teams that everybody wants to play,
either he said. “We’ve been to Tennessee, we’ve been to a young man is looking at Fresno State as a place to go to
school, he can fulfill all his dreams both on and off the field
LSD [Fresno goes back to the Bayou this year on Oct 21J

they re usually top-caliber teams and those are the ones that place on the West Coast.”
are available. It’s nice to talk about it. but not everybody
wants to play those games. Just look at the way some
Division l-A teams schedule.”
Even when deals with return games are struck, there has
been no guarantee that teams will hold up their end of the
bargain and travel to Fresno.
Weve been to Oregon three times already to get this
return game (played on Sept. 9J.” said Hill, whose club fin
ished No. 22 in the nation in 2005 after jumping out to an
8-1 start, which included ending Boise State’s 31-game con
ference winning streak, but finished 8-5. “We had a game at
Oklahoma in ’97. They were supposed to come back in 2002.
They canceled. We had a game at Texas Tech in ’98, they
m
were supposed to come back here in 2003. They canceled.
People just buy out and don’t come play.
“It’s very frustrating, but it’s a business deal." he continued. “It’s a lot easier to pay the $300,000 buyout and take
a $2 million profit at home. It’s a business deal. It’s a shame.
Once you sign a contract, I still feel you should fulfill your con
tract, but thats not always the case.”
Jon Cooper is a freelance writer based in
Atlanta.
The final facet of beautifying the Fresno program is getting
done on the field. In 2005, Fresno State led the WAC in
scoring offense [37.8 points per game}, had the the confer
ence’s third-best rushing attack (164.6 yards per game) and
third-best passing offense [260.3 ypg). They led the WAC
in third-down efficiency [converting at 50.3 percent) and
allowed the fewest sacks [14 in 13 games).
Defensively, Fresno led the conference In scoring defense
[22.5 points per game), total defense [346.9 yards per
game), pass defense [198.4 ypg), and were second in sacks
registered (34). Special teams led the WAC in punt returns
[18.6 yards per return with a conference-high four TDs), fin
ished third in punting and fourth in kickoff returns.
They’ve maintained respect within the WAC, as the
Bulldogs, who returned 19 starters [11 of whom have played
in at least 30 games) were voted second in a preseason poll
of conference coaches, despite losing four-year starting quar
terback Paul Pinegar and defensive end Garrett McIntyre, the
2005 WAC Defensive Player of the Year.
People are even starting to notice nationally, as Bulldogs
center Kyle Young was on the preseason watch list for the
Outland and Rimington Trophies and the Rotary Lombardi
Award, cornerback Marcus McCauley was among preseason
Jim Thorpe and Bronko Nagurski Award nominees and
linebacker Dwayne Andrews was on the Lott Trophy
preseason watch list.
The next step comes for the team if they can “finish the job.”
Hill plans to stick around to finish what he’s started.
Although he interviewed for head coach positions with several
NFL teams last summer, he chose to return to Fresno, signing
a contract extension through 2010. Expect him to continue to
sick his Bulldogs on BCS-conference schools, nine of whom
AN UP-HILL BATTLE
In nine seasons under Pat Hill, Fresno State has met
its share of Top 25 opponents, almost all of them on the
road. While the Bulldogs can't boast of a winning record
(they are 6-1 "I overall) and a few games did get out of
hand, they can say they never backed down.
A closer look at the ledger also offers a clue as to
why teams would rather not make a return trip to
Fresno.
Here is a look at Fresno State’s record against the
Top 25, including 2006’s opponents [based on the
ESPN/USA Today Preseason Top 25 poll).

Temple aims to make good use of that

that anybody wishing to use air travel as a

All-Americans
Harlan Hill Trophy
Two Edinboro University football players
have been finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy
presented annually to the top player in NCAA
Division 11 football. Running back Elbert Cole
was one of three finalists in 1989, while wide re
ceiver Ernest Priester was a finalist a year later.
Cole placed third in the '89 balloting. He earned
All-American honors in 1989, receiving first
team accolades from Kodak/ American Football
Coaches Association, second team recognition
from Football Gazette, and third team status
from Associated Press.
Cole rushed for 1,507 yards and set Penn
sylvania State Athletic Conference records for
touchdowns (24) and points (148). He led the
Fighting Scots to the PSACWest title, a 8-3
record and a number seven ranking in the final
Division II poll.
Priester was runnerup to North Dakota
State quarterback Chris Simdom in 1990 when
the Bison claimed the Division II national title.
Priester was the PSAC Western Division CoPlayer of the Year in 1990. He was also recog
nized by Kodak/American Football Coaches
Association, Associated Press and the Football
Gazette as a first team All-American.
The wide receiver hauled in 47 passes for
1,102 yards and 15 TDs. Edinboro finished 9-3,
reaching the Division II quarterfinals.
Two years ago Andre Burke (below) made
a run at the Harlon
Hill Trophy, as the
tailback
was
a
Northeast Region
semifinalist. Burke
ended up with a
school-record 1,713
yards and 19 TDs.

Dear Fans:
I hope that our fans will applaud and frequent the 13 supporters listed below from
the Edinboro community who have supported our players with evening snacks
through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August Snacks Program”
has been a huge success. I can’t tell you how appreciative our players are of these
generous donations. This is the sixth consecutive year that the community has
reached out and assisted us. Our players have asked me to thank each of the
restaurants/eateries below. Please support these Edinboro business! THANK YOU.

This marks the 21st season that I have been
fortunate enough to be a member of the Edin
boro football staff. During that time it has been
very gratifying to see the response of local or
ganizations in assisting Edinboro football. In
recent years the service organizations has pro
vided invaluable assistance, including running
the 50/50 raffles. We look forward to working
with these organizations again this year, and
thank them for their support of Boro Football.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Thank you for your support of the An
nual Athletic Fund Drive.
I feel like I'm getting redundant. For
the past two years I've boasted about how well
the Fighting Scot athletic teams have done, only
to see the next year's teams exceed those perform
ances. It gives me great pleasure to tell you that
we once again enjoyed an outstanding season,
topping the previous year's accomplishments, in
my estimation.
As someone who knows a thing or two
about the sacrifices it takes to be successful, I can
tell you that it isn't easy to maintain this type of
performance year-in and year-out. And I'm not
just referring to on-the-field performance. These
young men and women have taken to heart what
we preach - academics are still the number one
priority.
I am not going to take the time to tell
you all of the accomplishments. Some will be
noted in this brochure, such as four teams win
ning PSAC championships, nine teams or individ
ual representatives in NCAA tournaments, 14
All-Americans, four league Coaches of the Year,
and four league Athletes of the Year. The list goes
on and on. I would recommend that you view
our website for indepth information on our pro
grams. The website address is
www.edinboro.edu. The site underwent a major
renovation last September and will continue to
grow in the future.
Speaking of building, by this time next
year construction will be winding down on our
new weight room. A major need for a number of
years, this project will not only bring our weight
room up to par with our competitors but will also
provide a film room for our coaches and athletes,
several new offices and a new concession area.
This weight room, along with the new
track and locker room updates in wrestling and
volleyball, are just some of the examples of Edin
boro athletics moving forward. But as you know,
it comes at a steep price. In the past, we have had
numerous individuals become a part of the Edin
boro Family.
I can't tell you how valuable your sup
port has been since the start of the Annual Ath
letic Fund almost a decade ago. I know without
your help, this would never have been possible.
We hope you'll once again donate to the Annual
Athletic Fund. If you haven't donated in the past,
we encourage you to become a part of the Edin
boro family. And please tell a friend. Edinboro
celebrates its Sesquicentennial in 2006-07. We'd
like to do our part by making it an athletic season
to remember, but we need your help.
I want to leave you with one other
thought. In conjunction with our 150* year cele
bration, the athletic department has been compil
ing its All-Time Teams in the various sports.
Make sure to keep an eye out for these on our
. Website during the coming months.

Today’s Featur
Stroup the New Breed of Linebacker
by Bob Shreve, Sports Information Director
Back in my time if you were a line
backer you idolized the likes of Ray Nitschke
and Dick Butkus. As I've been told on numer
ous occasions, times have changed. But one
thing that hasn't is the need for a good defense
to have strong linebacking play.
That is certainly the case at Edinboro,
where seniors Ben Stroup, Jim Soltis and Dave
Jazenski were such a strong ^oup that head
coach Scott Browning and defensive coordina
tor Wayne Bradford decided to change from a
3^ to a 4-3 defense this season.
Today's linebackers are asked to roam from sideline to sideline,
so speed and pursuit are every bit as essential as the brute strength ex
hibited by Nitschke and Butkus. In the age of specialization, the line
backers of the 21st century are asked to play the run, blitz the passer,
and drop back into coverage.
So it figures that a player like Stroup would try to emulate the lat
est great Chicago Bear, Brian Uhrlacher. A native of Columbus, Ohio,
it should also come as no surprise that when he was growing up he
looked up to an Ohio State Buckeye.
"When I was growing up I tried to be like Andy Katzenmoyer,"
related the 6'1", 213 lb. senior. "I looked up to him as a role model.
1 m not blessed with his size, but I still try to play with his kind of
speed and intensity. I also Like Brian Urhlacher and A.J. Hawk, line
backers that can run. That's my style."
Stroup is enjoying an outstanding senior campaign, leading the
Fighting Scots in tackles with 46. He is also tied for the team lead with
8 tackles for losses and has a team-high 3.5 sacks. He even has a pair
of interceptions, both coming two weeks ago in a 28-6 win at Cheyney.
The Cheyney game exhibited the mmtitude of talents possessed
by Stroup. Early in the game he sacked Cheyney quarterback Derrick
Murry for a ten-yard loss on a blitz. Yet he was able to intercept a
of passes while dropping into coverage. "I'll take a sack any day
' an interception," grinned Stroup when asked what gave him
mor^leasure.
The numbers tell a great deal about Stroup's contributions on
the field, but the respect he has from his teammates that really speaks
volumes.
I think re^ly he's the heart and soul of our defense," related
Browning. I think everyone on our entire football team respects him.
The^ys on the sidelines want to watch him. They understand how
good he is. You d never know by talking to him. He's very quiet."
Stroup credits Browning and former assistant coach Rod Boykin
with gettmg hirn to Edinboro. "There's not a lot of good Division II
programs in Ohio, it s either Division I or Division III," Stroup ex
plained. I had some looks from Division I teams, but the offers never
came. Coach Browning and Rod Boykin came down to visit me. I re
ally liked what they talked about, and I liked them as people, as well."
Browning remembers his return to Columbus, where he once
served as a ^aduate assistant. "It was a cold day in Columbus," re
membered Browning. "You walked out and he was so quiet you did
n't know if he was really interested.
I went to a recruiting fair and myself and a coach from
Youngstown State were in a room watching him on film. We were the
only ones there. I remember the guy from Youngstown State liked
him and asked me what I thought." Browning smiled then, and ad
mitted he downplayed his interest in Stroup so the Penguin assistant
didn't know how impressed he realty was.
A year ago Stroup finished as Edinboro's leading tackier with
100 stops, adding 15.5 tackles for losses and 5.5 sacks. They were
numbers befitting a first team All-PSAC West performer, an honor
he was accorded, but the Boro staff was disappointed he wasn't
named to any All-American teams.
That may change this year, although both Stroup and the staff
admits that the change from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defensive alignment has
had little impact on Stroup's season. "The move to the 4-3 was based
on what we had in all three linebackers," Bradford stressed. "Ben is
virtually in the same position. His responsibilities have changed the
least. The big factor was to keep him in the middle."
Stroup mso hasn't noticed much of a change. "For me, it hasn't
realty changed much. I'm in the same position. But I think it has
helped us, not only in the run game, but moreso in the passing game.
It has put people in better position. Now we're not so susceptfele to
the deep ball.'^
One change that has impacted Stroup has been Browning taking
everytl
Stroup. "Coach feadford lets us play more freely. He fells us we're
better players than he is a coach. That gives you confidence. He be
lieves in us."
Bradford admits that he relies greatly on the maturity of Stroup,
Soltis and Jazenski, and gives them plenty of freedom. "I haven't
coached linebackers since like 1998," tie laughed. ' "I wanted them to
tell me what they were thinking. I've always been a running-back
read guy, while Tepper was a guard-read guy. 1 don't want to tell
them something to take away from their natural ability. I let them
decide how they want to do it."
Stroup has made his mark as a great player thanks to a combi
nation of speed, intelligence, and physical play. Bradford feels he
may not get enough credit for his physical nature. "Ben brings a quiet
toughness," he pointed out. "We always talk about how weU he runs,
but you don't understand how physical he is. He is one of the best
tacklers I've ever seen."
Stroup would Ukely agree, but he has his own ideas about what
makes him great. I play a lot on emotions. 1 think a lot of players
feed off me. I m always going to give it 100 percent every moment
I'm on the field. That includes in my attitude, too."
While his career at Edinboro is coming to a close, the Fighting
Scot coacltyrg staff feels Stroup deserves a look at the next levd - the
NFL. "He's got the acceleration, the change in direction to play some
where," Bradford commented. "Maybe at strong safety or on special
teams. He has great instincts and is great in the open field. There
has to be a place for him."
"I've
thought
about it," admitted
Stroup. "But I'm hard
on myself. I tell my
self I can't play at that
level, but men others
tell me I can. I just
play every game as
hard as possible. If I
make it, ^at. If not, I
can say I gave it 100
percent."
It's that attitude,
that respect among
his teammates, that
will someday have a
young linebacker at
.dinboro sav
>ay they
want to be the
the next
Ben Stroup. He has
set a standard that
will be hard to live up
to.
