demands of the position.Now Alexander is unques-

tionably the leader of the offense.If he continues to improve atthe rate he did during thecourse of last season, the’Cats could be a veryexplosive scoring squad.

“Ryan came a longway in the decision-mak-ing process last year,”stated Merritt, “and hecontinued thatimprovement into thespring. He has a reallygood feel for our offenseand has a wonderful castof receivers to throw to.”

Should the need arise,junior Matt McGreevy ismore than capable at step-ping in behind center. Hethrows well and brings anadded dimension of speed to the position,which could lead to more plays of aspread-option nature. Sophomore AndrewBitterlin and freshman Matt Mann will alsobe in the mix.

ReceiversThe “wonderful cast of receivers” to

which Coach Merritt alluded is hardlyhyperbole. Heading the cast are BrettDioguardi, a two-time All-PFL South per-former, and dynamic playmaker RyanHubbard. Throw in super sophomoreMyles Potter and the athletic junior BeauxJones, and Davidson has the makings of aterrific air assault.

Dioguardi, a 6-1, 185-pound senior,already ranks eighth on the Wildcats’career receiving yards list with 1,356 andhas been an all-conference selection each ofthe past two seasons. With his height,speed and leaping ability, he can act as apossession receiver or be a deep threat.

Hubbard is one of the most excitingplayers in the league, and has the ability

to turn a mundane quick slantinto a highlight-reel play. Lastyear, the 5-9, 175-pound jun-ior averaged more than 20yards per catch and led the’Cats with 612 yards and six

touchdown receptions. Thatkind of explosiveness willkeep opponents on theirheels, and make Hubbard

a great return threat onspecial teams as well.

“We will do everything we canto get the ball in Ryan’s hands,”

Merritt said. “Quick throws,screens, reverses, puntreturns, you name it. He isone of the few guys on theteam that can take the ballto the end zone from any-where on the field.”

After catching 11passes as a rookie, the 5-

10, 170-pound Potter willtake on a larger role. He

has the guts to snare thepasses in the middle of

the field and the guileto find the seams in the

defense. Jones, meanwhile, is making thetransition from quarterback to wide receiv-er. With his knowledge of the pass routescombined with his athleticism, the transi-tion will be a smooth one.

In addition, senior Robert Manire andsophomore Kirk Konert will see some actionat wideout thanks to their sure hands.

At tight end, Jackson Whetsel is theincumbent. The 6-3, 230-pound seniorcaught 11 passes last season, including apair of touchdowns, and is a very adeptblocker. But with improved blocking fromthe offensive line, Whetsel should get moreopportunities to run routes and be anoption for the Wildcat quarterbacks.

Sophomore D.J. Singleterry will makehis collegiate debut this year after missinghis freshman campaign with health issues.The powerful 6-2, 230-pounder will spellWhetsel and get his opportunities to play.

Running BacksOnce again Coach Merritt will utilize a

tailback tandem in senior co-captainJonathon Hubbard and sophomore ChadBarnes. The advantages to this system arekeeping both players fresh throughout thegame — especially in hot weather — andfeaturing different running styles to keepdefenses off-balance.

Hubbard, Ryan’s 5-7, 220-pound olderbrother, is a power back who is excellentbetween the tackles. His 497 yards on theground led Davidson a year ago, and whenhe gets forward momentum, his strongbuild and low center of gravity make himextremely difficult to stop.

On the other hand, the 6-0, 190-poundBarnes is more of a finesse back. When

Anticipation and enthusiasm aptlydescribe the emotions for the 2006Davidson football season among Wildcatcoaches, players and fans alike, and withgood reason. Second-year head coachTripp Merritt has 15 returning starters athis disposal from a squad that doubled itswin total from the previous year and fin-ished the season with a terrific upset victo-ry on the road at Georgetown.

But not even those 15 starters tell thewhole story about the depth and experi-ence of this team. The skill positions arewell covered as the quarterback, top tworunning backs and three receivers all haveextensive experience in the college game.The defensive line is stacked top to bottomwith quality talent, and outstanding line-backers have become a Davidson tradition.

Coach Merritt knows, however, that tal-ent and experience alone will not necessar-ily add up to a pile of victories, especiallyin the tough Pioneer Football League. Thekey ingredient he is cooking up with histroops is consistent play.

“We have the potential to be one of themost improved teams in the league,”Merritt said. “Consistency is the key. If wehad been more consistent last year, there isno doubt that we could have won a couplemore games.”

Consistency is rather hard to quantify,so the question is how does a team achieveit? “Physically our guys are as good as anyteam at giving everything they have onevery play,” noted Merritt. “Mental tough-ness, the ability to focus on every play, iswhat breeds consistency.”

The Wildcats will rely on their co-cap-tains — seniors Niel Andrews, JonathonHubbard, Mike Iafrate and Kyle Kinsell —to help keep the team focused every down.And when talking about leadership, it allbegins with the quarterback.

QuarterbackRyan Alexander began 2005 as the back-

up quarterback and ended the season justnine yards shy of becoming the fourthWildcat to throw for 2,000 yards. The jun-ior signal-caller has the classic build for theposition at 6-3 and 205 pounds, whichenables him to withstand the physical

running game as he is at fending off theon-coming pass rush.

The left side of the line feature a pair ofgrizzled veterans in junior tackle GeorgeZoeckler and senior guard DerrickThompson. The 6-3, 260-pound Zoecklerstarted every game at right tackle in 2005and proved he can handle the demands ofthe position.

Thompson, a 6-0, 280-pounder, nearlyhalf the season last year with an injury, butreturned to the lineup in time to help outin the win over the Hoyas. His presence iscrucial to holding off the rush onAlexander’s blind side.

On the other side of the line, theWildcats boast great size with a pair of300-pound linemen. At right guard, juniorZach Jakob (6-3, 300) has earned the start-ing job after successfully filling in forThompson at left guard during his absencea year ago.

The tallest player on the roster, 6-7, 315-pound sophomore Will Nolte, was brokenin last year as a reserve in nine of the 10games. With surprising agility, Nolte givesthe ’Cats not only a player who can fill thelanes to pass protect, he can also pull andlead the charge downfield with the run-ning game.

Davidson has great depth on the linewith veterans like seniors Jeremy Bloxson(6-4, 270), John Robbins (6-5, 325) and JohnWilson (5-11, 260). And with reinforce-ments in the form of freshmen, includingIafrate’s brother Mark, the Wildcats will bewell-protected.

Defensive LineTypically, Davidson struggles to put

together a fortified line. A 3-4 defensivescheme serves the squad well with thetalent at linebacker every year. But theline is sure to be a strength in 2006.

“This is the deepest defen-sive line we’ve ever had,”

Merritt boasted, “and thequality from top to bot-tom is excellent.”

Senior co-captain KyleKinsell, at 6-0 and 235

pounds, emergedfrom obscurity toearn numerousaccolades in 2005for his work. The

defensive endwas a firstteamAcademic All-

American, justthe third Wildcat to be honored,and was named to the presti-

gious Lott Trophy Watch Listfor this season, the only I-AA

player among the 42named to the list. Heranked among the PFLleaders in sacks and tack-les for a loss, plus tied forthe league lead among

Hubbard missed a couple games last sea-son, Barnes shouldered the load and pro-duced a 122-yard performance atValparaiso. He has the speed to get to theoutside and break away from the defense.

“We are going to have to stretch thedefense to open up both our running andpassing games,” commented Merritt.“While Jonathon is great between the tack-les, we simply cannot be a downhill,power running team every play. Chad pro-vides us with another dimension to ouroffense that we will utilize.”

With the physical demands of the posi-tion, Davidson is well-stocked with sopho-more Ryan Zirkle and freshman SeyiAyorinde. Zirkle saw limited action lastyear, but at just 5-5, is excellent at allud-ing tackles. Ayorinde is a budding tal-ent the coaches expect to blossominto a terrific player.

At fullback, CoachMerritt has a pair of veter-ans in Mike Chapmanand Kevin Wright. Thesenior duo will share timeat the position and pro-vide size and quicknessto be effective blockers.

Offensive LineHeaded by the co-captain

Iafrate, an All-PFL South center lastyear, the offensive line givesCoach Merritt good reason tobe optimistic.

“With the experience wehave up front, coupled withwhat I consider a nice poolof talent coming in amongthe freshmen, the presentand future are very bright forour line,” he said.

Concerning the present, the 5-11, 260-pound Iafrate is the anchorthat keeps the line solid. He neverseems to miss an assignment and isequally adept at opening holes for the

defensive linemen with 55 tackles afteramassing just 12 stops in his first two years.

The player he tied was sophomoreteammate Will Funderburg. As a rookie,the 6-1, 260-pounder earned All-PFL Southhonors, just the seventh freshman from anyleague school to make the first team in thefive years of divisional play.

One of the hardest workers on thesquad is the other defensive end, JimWalter. The 6-2, 245-pound senior has bat-tled through injuries during his career, yetstill is a terrific pass rusher. In seven gamesoff the bench last year, Walter contributedfour tackles for a loss, including 2.5 sacks.

“While Kyle has gotten the nationalattention, our opponents would be wisenot to focus on just him,” Merritt stated.“If they do, another player on the line willmake them pay. I also expect this to be areally big year for Funderburg; he has thepotential to be a big-time player.”

Also at Coach Merritt’s disposal on theline are seniors Brendan Watkins, JeffWright and Lorenzo Mack. The 6-0, 270-pound Watkins is a solid player in everyaspect of the game, while 6-3, 250-poundWright provides tremendous energy off thebench as amassed three sacks, second mostamong the Wildcats. Mack, a 6-1, 240-pound nose guard, is especially goodagainst the run.

LinebackersFour straight years the Wildcats have

produced the PFL South Defensive Playerof the Year, and three of those players werelinebackers. While earning the award willbe more difficult now with the eliminationof the divisional format, Davidson still hasseveral candidates for the honor.

Niel Andrews and Bud Crawford makeup an outstanding outside linebacking tan-dem. The senior co-captain shook off aninjury from preseason last year to becomeone of the Wildcats’ best penetrators, rank-ing second on the squad in tackles for a

loss and sacks. But the 6-1, 230-poundAndrews is equally effective droppingback to defend against the pass, picking offtwo tosses last season.

The 6-1, 220-pound Crawford is just asdisruptive as Andrews, posting 50 tackleswith 5.5 going for a loss in 2005. His speedgives him the ability to contain and keepthem bottled up.

“Bud and Niel will be as good as anylinebacker we’ve had in the recent past,”complimented Merritt.

On the interior, Blake Mitchell willbring back his hard-playing, fast-talkinggame for his senior year. The 6-2, 240-pound starter pitched in 49 tackles last sea-son while playing in the shadow of thePFL South Defensive Player of the Year,Alex Arinsmier.

“Blake was a bit overlooked with Alexbeside him last year,” Merritt noted. “Hewill get a chance to come to the forefrontthis season, and I expect him to finish hiscareer in strong fashion.”

The other inside linebacker position isup for grabs among a bevy of talentedplayers. Senior Chris Castillo (5-9, 200),junior Chris Hampton (6-1, 200) and soph-omore Peter Bakke (6-2, 205) all have theability to play the post well.

“Castillo showed in the Georgetowngame last year that he can be an impactplayer,” said Merritt. “But Hampton had aterrific spring fighting for the job, andBakke will certainly be in the mix.”

Defensive BacksThe secondary proved to be a great

weapon for the Wildcats last season with19 interceptions, fifth most among I-AAschools. Of those 19 picks, 11 return as thestarters at the four defensive back spots.

Manning one of the corners will bePatrick FitzGerald. The 5-9, 185-pound jun-ior led Davidson with five interceptionsand ranked ninth nationally in the catego-ry. One of the league’s top cover men,FitzGerald also adds the mentality of alinebacker to his game as he relishes the

opportunity to send an opponentsprawling to the turf with a big hit.

At the opposite corner stands jun-ior Jeffrey Scott. An integral memberof the secondary last year, the 5-9, 175-pounder has moved up into a startingrole. Stripping the football is his callingcard as he led the PFL in forced fumblesa year ago.

“Patrick and Jeffrey are great competi-tors,” Merritt stated. “I will always sac-rifice height for that competitive streakin a player. They are both also greatathletes who can jump, which helpsnegate any perceived disadvantage.”

Sophomores Matt Mikrut ((5-10,175), Brandon Giles (6-0, 170) and K.J.Blackwell (6-0, 175) all have the abilityto capably fill in should the need arise.

The free safety position will onceagain be patrolled by junior Zach Long.Following a lost freshman season dueto injury, the 5-10, 190-pounderreturned with a vengeance last year,ranking second on the squad with79 tackles and four interceptions.

Moving into the strong safetyslot vacated by graduated RickyChilders, an All-PFL South performer,will be Matt Easton. At 6-2 and 215pounds, the sophomore will be thebiggest Wildcat to play the position inrecent memory. Easton doles out punishingtackles and has the speed to cover the vastexpanses of turf.

Also available for service at safety aresenior Alex Lemons (5-9, 180) and juniorCorey Hutchins (6-0, 195).

Special TeamsOne aspect of the game Coach Merritt

stresses is special teams play. Davidsonhad its strong points in 2005, but also areasthat needed improvement.

Senior Brad Smith returns for his finalseason as the Wildcats’ placekicker afterleading the PFL with 10 field goals andconverting 16-of-18 PAT attempts. Eachyear his leg has gotten stronger, as evi-denced by his career-long 43-yard fieldgoal last year.

The punting game can only get betterthis season after ranking last in the leaguein net yards. The rugby-style punt workedat times throughout the season, but wasinconsistent. While Coach Merritt will stilluse it at times, the traditional punt is likelyto be in vogue this year.

Enter Cyrus Maddox, a senior who hadbeen playing club rugby at Davidson. Hehas a big leg and could win the puntingjob with his distance and hang time. Butsophomore Kirk Konert has improved andcould be called upon to provide the quirkykicks.

Either Maddox or junior Cody Elder willsend the ball downfield on kickoffs. Elderhas improved his leg strength to help himsend the ball deeper into enemy territory.

The Wildcat kick return teams shouldprovide plenty of excitement with Ryan

Hubbard leading thecharge on both kickoffs

and punts. Beaux Jonesis slated to be the other

deep man on kickoffs.

ScheduleWith the divisional format

abandoned following the depar-ture of Austin Peay from the

PFL, every game against leagueopponents will count in the stand-ings. For the first time sinceDavidson joined the league in2001, the Wildcats will play everyfellow PFL squad with the regular-season champion playing the NEC

champion in the Gridiron Classic.The ’Cats will be tested right off

the bat on Sept. 2 as they travel to I-AA scholarship foe VMI for the second

straight season. The home scheduleopens up the following week with a nightgame against a scholarship team, Wingate.

Another scholarship opponent, Lenoir-Rhyne, will host Davidson on Sept. 16 foranother night contest. After a bye week,

the remainder of the season will featurePFL opponents, beginning with the

homecoming game against the defend-ing conference champion, San Diego.

The Wildcats will also play host toJacksonville, Dayton and Butler while trav-eling to Morehead State, Valparaiso andDrake.

“With the level of competition we areplaying, every coach and player has toshow up not just on Saturday to play, butevery day of the week in preparation,”demanded Merritt. “There really is no mar-gin for error in league play.

“This is a good football team,” he con-tinued. “What will determine whether ornot we are a great team will be our focusevery time we step on the field, whether apractice or a game, and the commitmentwe make to preparing to succeed.”

Head Coach2nd year

UNC Charlotte ’90Record: 4-6

Now in his secondseason as Davidson’shead coach, Guy“Tripp” Merritt is lead-ing the program in the

right direction. Last year he oversaw aWildcat squad that doubled its win totalfrom the year before, ending the season ona high note with a 10-3 upset victory atGeorgetown. In 2006, Merritt will meld hisreturning players with his first crop ofrecruits, the latter of which greatly bolsterthe front lines on both sides of the ball.

“Tripp Merritt has the qualities of aleader we believe are important to successat Davidson — an understanding of andcommitment to the Davidson culture, ahigh level of energy and enthusiasm, and ahistory of success,” said Murphy.

The goal for Merritt is clear — returnDavidson to its winning ways prevalentduring his stint as an assistant with theWildcats under Tim Landis from 1993-99.He has the vision and the drive to makethat goal a reality.

“We have the talent and the desire tocompete for the PFL title,” said Merritt.“What we need to focus on is consistentplay over four quarters. We have to beboth physically and mentally tough, which

will lead to the consistent play that weneed to be successful.”

During his first tour of duty, Merrittserved in a variety of roles, from secondarycoach to linebackers coach and defensivecoordinator. His defensive unit in 1998ranked first nationally among I-AA schoolsin pass efficiency defense, second in scoringdefense and fourth in total defense, and 13thin rushing defense the following season.

Merritt also served as the recruitingcoordinator in his final years at Davidson,and oversaw the influx of talent thathelped the Wildcats achieve their greatestfive-year stretch in over 100 years of foot-ball. The 1998 squad set a school recordwith eight victories, which was equaled in

1999, Merritt’s last year at Davidson. In2000, the ’Cats recorded the first and onlyperfect campaign with a 10-0 mark, beforegoing 5-4 in 2001 and 7-3 in 2002.

When Landis took the head-coachingjob at St. Mary’s (Calif.) in 2000, Merrittjoined him as the recruiting coordinator,and as the linebackers coach for two sea-sons, then assistant head coach and offen-sive line coach. After three years out West,the duo moved on to Bucknell Universitywhere Merritt served as the associate headcoach, defensive coordinator and recruitingcoordinator for the past two years. In hisfinal season with the Bison (2004), Bucknellwent 7-4 and ranked among the top 25 inDivision I-AA in scoring defense.

The 1990 graduate of UNC Charlottebegan his coaching career as a volunteerassistant coach at Garinger High School in1990, then moved on to be a graduateassistant at Western Carolina for two yearsbefore being hired at Davidson. At BurnsHigh, Merritt was a three-year letterman inboth football and baseball.

Merritt, 38, is engaged to Sara Stahley ofLewisburg, Pa., and resides in Davidson.

Assistant Head CoachDefensive Line

14th yearDavidson ’93

Hayford returns forhis 14th season as aWildcat coach and 17thon campus. This is alsohis second campaign as

the assistant head coach, bestowed uponhim when his former colleague TrippMerritt was hired as the head coach in2005. Along with the title, he will beresponsible for the defensive line..

As the defensive line coach, Hayfordcoached the Wildcats to the league lead insacks in 2005 with 24 total. He also over-saw the sack leader in the PFL in both 2002and 2003 in Ryan Tennis ’03 and DarrylChilders ’04, respectively. Davidson led theleague in sacks as a team in 2002 as well,averaging 3.3 per game, while no othersquad had more than 2.5.

Hayford was instrumental in the emer-gence of All-PFL South performers KyleKinsell and Will Funderburg last year.Kinsell, also an Academic All-American,had all of 12 tackles in his first two sea-sons, while Funderburg was just a rookie.

“Brett knows how to get the most out ofthe d-line,” stated Merritt. “He has an excel-lent understanding of blocking schemes andhow to attack them. Having spent his play-ing days on the defensive side of the ball, heis well-suited to work with the linemen.”

Hayford graduated in 1993 fromDavidson, where he played two seasons asa defensive lineman and as an outfielderfor the baseball team. At Shorecrest Prep inSt. Petersburg, Fla., his father, Phil, coachedhis high school football team.

He is married to the former BethSnowden, who is the head athletic trainerat Davidson. They live in Huntersville withtheir son, Thad (7).

Brett HayfordOffensive Coordinator

Offensive Line7th year

Lycoming ’93

Now in his seventhyear, Clark has been aconstant through threehead coaches since theturn of the century. Each

of those head coaches have discovered hisvalue as an offensive coordinator andoffensive line coach.

Clark’s influence was particularly notice-able last year as the offensive line wasfourth in the league in fewest sacks allowed,which helped Ryan Alexander nearlybecome the fourth Wildcat to throw for2,000 yards in a season. In addition, Clarkmentored All-PFL South center Mike Iafrate.

Through his first six seasons runningthe offense, the Wildcats have averagednearly 24 points a game. In 2002, Davidsonscored a whopping 32 points per contest torank 14th among I-AA schools as the ’Catswent 7-3. It marked just the second time inDavidson’s long history of football that theteam topped 30 points per game.

“Mike has a good feel for how to keepdefenses off-balance and is committed to abalanced attack,” noted Merritt. “He is alsoan excellent teacher of technique and fun-damentals on the offensive line.”

Clark graduated from Lycoming Collegein Williamsport, Pa., in 1993 with a degreein business administration. He earned amaster’s degree at Rowan College whileworking there for two years as an assistantcoach. After spending two seasons atPrinceton with former Wildcat head coachJoe Susan, he went back to his alma materas the offensive line coach, helping theWarriors reach the NCAA playoffs.

Administrative Asst.1st YearQueens ’07

DeDecker joined theoffice staff this summerand has quickly accli-mated herself to theduties and responsibili-

ties of her position. With so many logisticsto tend to behind the scenes, she is invalu-able to the coaches, allowing them to focusmore on evaluating opponents and recruitsrather than finalizing travel details.

“I could not be more pleased with Jen,”stated Merritt. “She takes care of all thedetails we don’t have time for, then looksfor more ways to help out. The transitionperiod was almost non-existent as shejumped right into the job.”

A graduate of Girls Preparatory Schoolin Chattanooga, DeDecker is now a seniorat Queens University in Charlotte and isstudying for her bachelor’s degree inAmerican studies. She has an affinity formarketing and previously worked as themarketing coordinator for CB Richard Ellis.

On Sept. 10, 2005, Davidson will dedi-cate the most recent renovations and addi-tions to Richardson Stadium, the home ofWildcat football. The facility has under-gone another transformation, thanks togenerous donations from numerous alumniand supporters.

With the addition of the Wilson Terrace,Ernie Doe Weight Room, Hubbard FamilyLocker Room and Don Bryant Press Box,Richardson Stadium offers a terrific venueto watch college football in its finest andpurest form. The seating capacity has nowincreased to 4,500, the weight room locatedbeneath the newly constructed stands has5,000 square feet of space and the press boxgives a terrific vantage point for the mediato watch and report on the game.

Richardson Athletic Field debuted in thefall of 1923, and it contained two footballfields, a baseball diamond and a quarter-mile cinder track. Vines were planted on awire fence that surrounded the field, andbushes were set both inside and outside thefence.

Henry Smith Richardson ’06 andLunsford Richardson, Jr. ’14 donated thefacility, which was named in honor of theirfather, Lunsford Richardson, Sr., Davidsonclass of 1875. Ever since that first game onOct. 13, 1923, the site certainly has been putto good use.

Davidson played just one football gameat Richardson Athletic Field that year, asmost home games were played inCharlotte. The Wildcats played a terrificgame that day, shutting out The Citadel ina 7-0 triumph. Sophomore Wick Black pro-vided the lone touchdown in the game witha two-yard dive, and senior Gig Shepherdadded the extra point.

In 1924, the stadium portion of the facili-ty was built of brick and concrete construc-tion, which had room for 8,000 fans.Temporary bleachers were added in theend zones through the years to inflate the

capacity from 10,000 to 11,000.As the years went by, the second football

field and baseball diamond were eliminat-ed, leaving just the one field and the cindertrack. In 1965, renovations to the stadiumincluded a dressing room for the visitingteam, fiber glass seats and a glass-enclosedpress box where it remains to this day.

A major overhaul to the facility occurredduring the summer of 1991. The field wasrenovated and expanded so soccer could beplayed in the stadium, the permanent seat-ing capacity was reduced to 6,000 andlights were installed.

These renovations allowed Davidson tohost the NCAA Division I Men’s SoccerChampionships (now known as the CollegeCup) from 1992-94. The Wildcat soccerteam made the most of the opportunity byqualifying for the championships, falling inthe semifinals in overtime to San Diego,which ironically is a member of the PioneerFootball League today. With the addition oftemporary bleachers, Davidson averaged8,000 fans per game the first year, 10,000the next and 12,000 the final year.

In the summer of 1999, the Irwin BelkTrack, featuring an eight-lane, 400 meter,

polyurethane track, replaced the old cindertrack, which had been reduced to four laneswith the expansion for soccer. A year and ahalf later, the Wildcat track team hosted theDavidson Relays, the first track meet inRichardson Stadium in years.

The stadium itself underwent a renova-tion as well, as the north stands were torndown to accommodate the new track,reducing the capacity to 4,000. Underneaththe south stands, new football and soccerlocker rooms were constructed as well.

The field itself was overhauled as welland was renamed the Stephen B. SmithField in honor of the trustee and formerWildcat football standout.

For a time, the women’s lacrosse teamalso called Richardson Stadium home untilthe Carol G. Belk Turf Field opened in thefall of 2002. And with the opening ofAlumni Stadium for the men’s andwomen’s soccer teams in the fall of 2004,football once again is the only varsity sportplayed on the field.

On Sept. 10, Davidson College dedicated the improvements to Richardson Stadium, including theDon Bryant Press Box and the new stadium seating on the right, as numerous donors were in attendance.

Davidson hosted the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championshipin 1992-94 with then-record crowds each of the three years.

The Ernie Doe Weight room is a 5,000-square foot,state-of-the-art facility located in the stadium.

“The value of athletic training was justbeginning to be appreciated when I was a stu-dent at Davidson College in 1914 … I lookforward to a time when future generationsmay profit in increasing measure from thebenefits of trained minds and strong bodies.”

— Lunsford Richardson, Jr. ’14, in a letterto The Davidsonian (Nov. 25, 1926).

2005 Season Review2005 Season Review


Renovated Stadium DedicatedRichardson Stadium has been around in

one form or another since 1924, and 2005certainly brought another form to the land-mark. On Sept. 10, Davidson dedicated thenewest additions to the stadium — theWilson Terrace, Ernie Doe Weight Room,Hubbard Family Locker Room and DonBryant Press Box. The football team did notdisappoint as the Wildcats came away witha 32-7 victory over Greensboro College.

Merritt Earns First Win as Head CoachDavidson opened the 2005 season under

the direction of its 26th head coach, TrippMerritt, who had previously served as anassistant for the Wildcats from 1993-99. Hisfirst game at the helm did not go accordingto script in a 33-0 loss at VMI. But he andthe ’Cats rebounded the following weekwith the victory over Greensboro.

Robbery RecordInside the 32-7 victory over Greensboro,

Davidson set a school record by interceptingsix Pride passes. Three of those picks wereby Patrick FitzGerald, who earned PFLDefensive Player of the Week honors andwas one of just four I-AA players to accom-plish the feat. In addition, Preston Moorenabbed an errant pass and returned it 28yards for a touchdown, the lone interceptionbrought back for six points all season.

Smith Hammers Home Three Field GoalsBrad Smith became the fifth Wildcat to

boot three field goals in a game, account-ing for all nine points in a 16-9 loss againstLenoir-Rhyne. Oddly enough, the last twoinstances have both been in losses andaccounted for all of Davidson’s points —Chris Costello amassed the hat trick in a31-9 loss to VMI on Sept. 6, 2003.

Talk About OffensiveThe Wildcat offense amassed 603 total

yards in the win at Valparaiso, the secondmost for a Davidson squad in at least 21

years. Only the 2003 ’Cats racked up moreyardage (614 yards) in a 45-21 victory atEmory & Henry in that span. The schoolrecord is 777 yards against Erskine in 1946.

Alexander the GreatAgainst Valparaiso, sophomore Ryan

Alexander had a career day by completing15-of-20 passes for 343 yards and fourtouchdowns for a rating of 285.06, the sixthbest single-game performance in DivisionI-AA in 2005. All that despite just playinginto the middle of the third quarter! At thehalf he already had 307 yards through theair. He earned the PFL Offensive Player ofthe Week award for his performance.

Joining the ClubWith his first catch against Drake on

Oct. 1, Brett Dioguardi surpassed 1,000receiving yards for his career, becoming the19th Wildcat to do so. Entering his finalseason, Dioguardi ranks eighth all-time atthe school with 1,356 yards and needs justfive more catches to top 100 for his career.

Turnover TurnaroundIn 2004, Davidson ranked 116th out of

117 I-AA teams in turnover margin atminus-1.89. Thanks in part to ranking fifthin the country in interceptions and 14th intakeaways, the Wildcats completely turnedthe battle of turnovers around last season.The team’s margin of 0.90 led the PFL andranked 13th nationally.

Touchdown Bomb One Yard Short of RecordRyan Alexander delivered an 88-yard

scoring strike to Brett Dioguardi againstDayton, the longest pass in the PFL in 2005.But it was one yard shy of equaling theDavidson record set in 1962 when Earl Coletossed an 89-yard pass to Steve Heckard.

Ending on High Note Against the HoyasEntering the season finale as decided

underdogs at Georgetown, the Wildcatsparlayed a stifling defense and a touch-down late in the second quarter into a ter-rific 10-3 victory. It was Davidson’s firstwin over the Hoyas finishing off its perfectseason in 2000 with a 41-17 triumph.

Players of the WeekAlong with FitzGerald and Alexander,

the ’Cats had four other players named aPFL Player of the Week. In a 44-6 throttlingof Austin Peay on Oct. 8, Ryan Hubbardset a career high with 172 yards receivingand tied the school record with threetouchdown catches to earn the offensiveaward, while Brad Smith garnered specialteams honors for kicking a pair of fieldgoals and three PATs. One of the three-pointers was a career-long 43-yarder.

Then against Georgetown in the seasonfinale, Davidson double-dipped again asAlex Arinsmier took home the defensiveaward and Jonathon Thrasher the specialteams honor. Arinsmier equaled his season

high of 16 tackles to help the Wildcats upsetthe Hoyas, 10-3. Thrasher, meanwhile, aver-aged 43.5 yards on seven punts, droppingthree inside the 10 and crushing a 67-yarder,the second-longest punt in the PFL.

PFL Sack MastersDavidson tied Drake for the PFL lead

with 24 sacks, yet not one Wildcat rankedamong the top five in the league. KyleKinsell led the charge with four sacks, and11 other players had a hand on at least onesack. The fact that just about anyone couldget to the quarterback made it difficult todeal with the Davidson defense.

PFL AccoladesFor the fourth consecutive year, a Wildcat

was named the PFL South Defensive Playerof the Year. Senior Alex Arinsmier wasbestowed the award as he topped the circuitwith 10.8 tackles per game and amassed atleast 10 tackles in seven of the 10 games,including the final six contests. Three timeshe brought down 16 opponents and was thefocal point of a defense that helped create aleague-best 28 turnovers.

Wildcats earning All-PFL South honorsalong with Arinsmier were strong safetyRicky Childers, center Mike Iafrate, widereceiver Brett Dioguardi, and defensivelinemen Will Funderburg and Kyle Kinsell.

Kinsell Academic All-AmericanKyle Kinsell, on the strength of his 3.76

GPA and stellar play for Davidson, becamejust the third Wildcat to be selected as anAcademic All-American, being named to thefirst team. He led all PFL defensive linemenwith 55 tackles and was among the leagueleaders in sacks and tackles for a loss. Inaddition, senior Yeatts Anderson was namedto the Academic All-District III squad.

Earning Academic All-PFL honors wereAnderson and Kinsell on the first team, andBud Crawford, John Green and BlakeMitchell on the second team.Ryan Hubbard hauled in three touchdowns and

amassed 172 yards receiving against Austin Peay.

Alex Arinsmier was the fourth consecutive Wildcat toearn PFL South Defensive Player of the Year honors.
