Top Story - The Robert Morris University football team returns home this Saturday, Sept. 19, as it hosts Notre Dame (Ohio) at 3:00 p.m. at Joe Walton Stadium as part of the University’s Homecoming weekend. The Colonials are coming off a valiant setback at nationally ranked Youngstown State as RMU took the four-time national champion Penguins into overtime. Notre Dame has scored 40+ points in each of its first two games after reaching at least 35 points seven times last year. Redshirt senior captain Mike Stojkovic was selected Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week Monday, marking the eighth time the Colonials claimed NEC defensive honors in back-to-back weeks. RMU ranks among the top 25 nationally in a number of defensive categories in the early going. The Colonials will look to secure their first win of the campaign this weekend after suffering a pair of tight, tough losses. RMU will make its longest trip of the season next weekend as it faces nationally ranked South Dakota State Saturday, Sept. 26, a contest which will be the Colonials’ final action before commencing NEC play. Quick Stat of the Afternoon - When Robert Morris takes the field Saturday against Notre Dame (Ohio), it will be doing so as part of the University’s Homecoming festivities. That fact should bode well for RMU as the Colonials are 15-6 (.714) all-time in games played as a part of Homecoming. This will be the second straight daytime kickoff on Homecoming for Robert Morris after it played at night each of the three prior years. Although RMU has been successful overall on Homecoming, the Colonials have actually dropped contests on this celebratory occa- sion in each of the past two years. However, the last time RMU played a new foe on Homecoming came three years ago, and things ended well for Colonial fans. Greg Langer (2009-12) hit a 33-yard field goal in the final 30 seconds to give the hosts a 31-28 victory over Lafayette. Robert Morris jumped out of the gates, erupting to a 28-7 lead fewer than 23 minutes into that contest. Saturday's Opponent - Saturday’s game between Robert Morris and Notre Dame (Ohio) marks the inaugural meeting between the two programs. Robert Morris owns a record of 19-14-1 (.574) when facing off with an opponent for the first time. Notre Dame is one of four new programs on RMU’s schedule this year, the most new foes the Colonials have faced since their inaugural sea- son. This is the sixth consecutive season in which RMU has played at least one new opponent. It is also the second of three straight games against first-time foes. Of RMU’s previous 34 games against a first-time opponent, 16 have come at home. In those games, RMU is 12-4 (.750). On This Date (Sept. 19) in Robert Morris Football History - Robert Morris has played only once on September 19, and it came up seven points short. Like this Saturday, that contest was a home, non-conference tilt that was RMU’s third game of the season. The only year the Colonials played on this date was in 2009 when RMU hosted Dayton, its most frequent non-conference opponent. The Colonials intercepted the Flyers on the game’s opening drive and used a short field to turn the pick into a touchdown drive. Dayton then took control as it scored 21 straight points, span- ning halftime, to take a two-possession lead. Robert Morris made it interesting with a touch- down with under three minutes to go in the fourth as Sherrod Evers (2006; 2008-09) hauled in a 25-yard catch. The Flyers would run out the clock by picking up a pair of first downs. Alex DiMichele (2008-10) had a strong game in defeat for the Colonials as he contributed 12 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss and an interception. Myles Russ (2007-10) added 87 rushing yards.

NEC 2015 Players of the Week

2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes vs. Notre Dame (Ohio) (9/19/15) - Page 3

Head Coach John BanaszakSecond Season - Eastern Michigan ’75

John Banaszak became the second head football coach in Robert Morris University history in December 2013. He served as an assistant coach and assistant head coach for the Colonials for 11 consecutive years prior to taking over the top spot. Banaszak was selected as Coach-In-Waiting in January 2012, allowing for a simple transition following the 2013 campaign. At the end of the 2013 season, he was named as the Assistant Coach of the Year at the FCS level as selected by the American Football Coaches Association. He was one of five coaches selected for dedication to their teams and communities. He was the first RMU coach, as well as the first from the NEC, to claim this honor. The 2013 season was Banaszak's sixth and final as assistant head coach for Robert Morris. Among his

numerous duties with the program before becoming head coach, he was responsi-ble for tutoring the defensive line and the special teams unit. Under Banaszak's guidance in 2013, Robert Morris led the NEC in net punting, punt return defense and punt return average. Banaszak was also a key component in instructing a RMU defense that finished second in the NEC in total defense within league play in 2013. Robert Morris finished its regular season ranked among the top 25 nationally in at least seven defensive categories including total defense. With Banaszak's assistance, RMU has led the NEC in total defense four times in the past 11 years and ranked among the top four nine times in the past 12 seasons. Banaszak was a key component to a 2010 defense that led the NEC in total defense as the Colonials claimed the NEC's inaugural berth in the FCS Playoffs. In 2006, he helped tutor an RMU defense that led I-AA in total defense, allowing an average of just 228.36 yards per game. 10 of the 13 players in school history to earn All-NEC recognition on the defensive line have come under the tutelage of Banaszak, including Nolan Nearhoof (2009-12), who was named the 2012 NEC Defensive Player of the Year after breaking both the school and league records for career sacks. Nearhoof would go on to earn All-America honors, becoming the third Colonial defensive lineman to claim an All-America nod under Banaszak in a seven-year span. As much as Banaszak's presence has been felt on the defensive side of the ball, the same can be said on special teams. He helped five distinct Colonials win an award at return specialist within the span of one decade. A graduate of Eastern Michigan, Banaszak signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers prior to the 1975 season and was one of only three rookies to make the defending Super Bowl champion team out of training camp. Primarily a special teams player on Pittsburgh's Super Bowl X championship team, Banaszak started five games the following season and then started at both right end and inside tackle in 1977 before suffering a knee injury that forced him to the injured reserve list. Between 1978 and 1980, Banaszak started 45 regular-season games at defensive end as the Steelers won back-to-back Super Bowls. In Super Bowl XIII, Banaszak recorded six tackles, including a pair of sacks, and a fumble recovery in a 35-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys, which garnered him Defensive Player of the Game honors. The following year, Banaszak helped the Steelers to a 31-19 victory over the Rams.

Robert Morris Quick FactsLast Time Out - Robert Morris led for 39:54 at No. 17 Youngstown State and never trailed in regulation, but the Penguins won it in overtime, 21-14 … Sophomore Gerald Ferguson notched the first fumble recovery of his career … Sophomore Rameses Owens reset his career-long rush with a 41-yard touchdown … The Colonials played their sec-ond overtime game in their past nine non-conference affairs … Sophomore Drew Allen contributed seven stops, tying his career high, while adding a tackle for loss and a pass breakup … Redshirt freshman Zach Walker made his first collegiate start … Robert Morris fell to 19-14-1 when playing an opponent for the first time in program history.

Stock Watch - Mike Stojkovic was named Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week Monday. It marked the second straight week a Colonial won that honor, which meant RMU has won the NEC’s defensive weekly award in the first two weeks of a sea-son for the first time ever. Stojkovic helped limit nationally ranked Youngstown State’s offense as he posted 11 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble last week. He has hit double digits in tackles and forced a fumble in both games of 2015.

Behind Enemy Lines - In its 2014 finale at Duquesne, the Robert Morris defense racked up 15 tackles for loss, which marked a new school record against a Division I foe. While the finale was grand, RMU was strong in this department in its final three games a year ago as it posted 33 TFL in that span, a finish that helped the Colonials rank among the top 25 nationally in that category. RMU is picking up where it left off as it is averaging 7.5 tackles for loss per game in 2015 with 10 Colonials contributing to that mark.

Ramming Defenses - Sophomore Rameses Owens carried the RMU offense last week at nationally ranked Youngstown State. He rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns, the first multi-TD effort of his career. It marked the third time he surpassed 150 rushing yards in his eighth collegiate start. In his first career start, Owens rushed for 199 yards at North Dakota. In doing so, he broke the RMU freshman single-game rushing mark and was also named National Freshman of the Week by The Sports Network. He also rushed for 154 yards in his first home start, Oct. 4, 2014 against Monmouth.

Third Degree - Robert Morris finished the 2013 campaign ranked among the top 25 in the FCS in third down defense, allowing opponents to convert at a .349 clip. The Colonials managed to improve that figure to .331 in 2014 although that placed them one spot outside the top 25 nationally. If the first two weeks are any indication, RMU will perform well in that area again in 2015 as its opponents are 10-for-35 on third down.

Turning It Around - A main point of emphasis for Robert Morris in 2015 was to improve its turnover differential after last year’s poor showing in that category. Two weeks into 2015, RMU stands at +1 in turnovers. The Colonials have turned the ball over four times, but they have forced five turnovers—two INT, three fumbles—to make up for that.

In the Backfield - Junior Jimmy Masson entered the season with 1.0 career sack, but he already has 2.0 in the first two games. In fact, he has at least 1.0 tackle for loss in five of his past six games, a span in which he has 8.0 tackles for loss overall.

Break It Up - The median completion percentage across the FCS in 2014 was 57.6%. Robert Morris has allowed only two of its past 20 opponents to reach that mark. In fact, seven times in this stretch, the Colonials have held their opponent under a 45% rate. In each of the past two seasons, RMU had a stretch where it held its opponent under a 50% completion mark in three straight games.

Tkach Attack - After serving as a reserve in prior years, Jake Tkach made the most of his opportunity to play in 2014. The linebacker led the team with 84 tackles and tied for the team lead with 10 tackles for loss. He ranked fourth in the NEC in tackles per game in 2014. The redshirt senior is tied for third on the team in 2015 with 14 stops.

Start Me Up - Nick Faraci enters Saturday's game with the most consecutive starting assignments of all active Colonials as he has served as the center for 35 straight games. On defense, Marcelis Branch has the most total starts among active Colonials with 22, but Andy Smigiera and Mike Stojkovic are tied for the longest active streak (13).

Game #2 • Youngstown State 21, Robert Morris 14 (OT)September 12, 2015 • Youngstown, Ohio

Stambaugh Stadium (Attendance: 16,622) - Robert Morris took nationally ranked Youngstown State into overtime, but the Penguins prevailed, 21-14, in the extra session on a rainy night. YSU received the opening kickoff, but RMU quickly grabbed momentum from a turnover when Mike Stojkovic forced a fumble on the Penguins' second play. On RMU's first play, Rameses Owens hit a hole and rambled 41 yards into the end zone. Each of the next six drives ended with punts. The Penguins put together their best drive of the half, as they advanced to the RMU 21-yard line, but RMU forced a field goal attempt that fell short. After RMU punted, Youngstown elected to go for it on fourth down in Colonial territory, but the Robert Morris defense forced a turnover on downs. Each of the game's next four drives ended in punts. Robert Morris committed its only turnover of the game on its final possession of the half on a deep pass down the field. RMU got after the Penguin quarterback on the final drive of the half as a sack by Forrest Mason brought the game to intermission. A Robert Morris punt on the opening drive of the second half left the hosts with a very short field. The Penguins took advantage as they drove 41 yards, capped by a 1-yard rush to tie the game. The Colonials had to punt on their ensuing drive, but their defense again stood tall. YSU had a third-and-one on the RMU 20-yard line, but a tackle for loss forced a field goal attempt that was missed. RMU then put together its most impressive drive of the day. The Colonials rushed 14 straight times, compiling 77 yards, to reach the end zone. Owens ran in from 10 yards out to put RMU back on top. YSU responded right away by driving 75 yards to equalize the score at 14-14 as the Penguins scored on a fourth-and-goal pass play. RMU picked up a first down on its next drive but was then forced to punt after a penalty set it back with regard to down and distance. The Penguins then moved the ball near midfield, but a sack set YSU back and eventually forced a punt. The clock ran out on RMU's final drive, sending the game to overtime. YSU got the ball first in overtime and drove to RMU's 2-yard line where it faced a fourth down. The Penguins elected to go for it, and their quarterback just escaped the grasp of a Colonial defender in the backfield before tossing a touchdown pass. Robert Morris converted on a fourth down on its possession, but a second fourth down play ended in a sack, closing the contest.

Last RMU GameD-Fence - One week after Youngstown State scored 37 points and accumu-lated over 400 yards of total offense against Atlantic Coast Conference mem-ber Pittsburgh, the Robert Morris defense held the Penguins to 14 points and 304 total yards in regulation. RMU held the Penguins to an 11-for-27 passing mark, which is the lowest completion percentage by a Penguin team in their past 18 games. YSU’s total yards mark was its second smallest in its past 13 games. RMU also held YSU to a 5-for-17 figure on third down.

Block Party - The Robert Morris special teams units rushed opposing kickers with ferocity in the 2015 opener. Junior Andy Smigiera blocked a field goal try in the first quarter while redshirt sophomore T-J Waters blocked a punt in the fourth quarter. In doing so, Robert Morris blocked two kicks in a game for just the second time in program history and the first time since 2002.

Back-to-Back - Sophomore Ryan Richards Jr. was named Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week in the first release of the season. It marked the second straight weekly release in which he was honored as he claimed rookie accolades to close the 2014 season. Richards grabbed a pair of interceptions in the season opener, his fourth career start, while adding six tackles and a pass breakup. Richards became the 18th distinct Colonial to grab multiple picks in a contest with his effort against the Flyers.

Initial Impressions - A number of RMU players have accrued a ‘first’ during the 2015 season. Five Colonials have made their first collegiate start through two games. Each of those five is part of a group of 15 Colonials that have made their collegiate deubt in 2015. A total of 27 Colonials made their first career start a year ago while 35 Colonials made their collegiate debut last season.

Thou Shall Not Rush - The Robert Morris defense put forth a strong effort against the nation's fifth-leading rusher from a year ago in its 2015 season opener. Dayton's Connor Kacsor averaged over 140 yards per game on the ground in 2014, but the Colonials held him to nearly half that mark Sept. 5. RMU held Kacsor to 2.2 yards per carry on 33 attempts after he averaged 6.1 yards per carry during the 2014 season. That helped the Colonials keep the Flyers under 300 total yards of offense on the afternoon.

Driving Distance - Of the five touchdown drives that Robert Morris has allowed in 2015, four have been shorter than 50 yards. In fact, RMU has only allowed three drives overall longer than 50 yards with two of those ending in field goal attempts. Dating back to 2014, eight of the last nine TD drives RMU has allowed in non-conference play have been fewer than 50 yards.

Special Special Teams - Cole Blake returned a blocked punt 26 yards for a touchdown in RMU’s season opener. It marked the first time RMU scored a special teams TD since Sept. 28, 2013 and the first time since 2002 that RMU returned a blocked punt for a TD.

No Passing Zone - The Robert Morris defense did well in keeping opposing offenses from moving the ball through the air near the end zone last year. The Colonials grabbed eight interceptions in 2014 within 20 yards of the end zone they were defending. Ryan Richards Jr. tallied a pick at his 6-yard line in the 2015 opener, giving RMU nine such grabs in its past 13 games. Six different Colonials have contributed to that mark.

Long And Short of It - The 2014 edition of the Robert Morris defense did not allow a single opponent to complete a pass of 50+ yards. It marked just the third time in program history that RMU achieved such a feat (2009, 1998). However, last season was the first in Colonial history in which neither team completed a pass of 50+ yards throughout the season. That trend has carried over thus far in 2015, extending this streak to 13 games.

2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes vs. Notre Dame (Ohio) (9/19/15) - Page 6

STATS FCS Top 25

NEC Champions since 1996

For Starters - When Robert Morris took the field in its 2014 season finale at Duquesne, it sported its 11th distinct offensive starting lineup in the 11th and final game. RMU, which has sported different lineups on offense in its past 16 games overall, saw 23 distinct players start on offense in 2014 alone. Through two games in 2015, 13 Colonials have started on offense.

Making the Grade - Current redshirt senior offensive lineman Nick Faraci and recently graduated wide receiver Duane Mitchell were both named Capital One Academic All-District First Team last November. It was the second straight year Faraci earned this honor and the first such award for Mitchell, as they continued the trend of academic successes in the football program. These two accolades gave the Colonial program at least one Academic All-District honoree in each of the past 12 seasons, a span in which Robert Morris has taken home 23 overall selections. To put that in perspective, no other NEC school has an active streak of football Academic All-District selections lon-ger than three years. Mitchell, a finance major, became the first RMU wide receiver to ever claim this honor.

Record-Breaking Rookies - Prior to 2014, no more than two Colonials had claimed weekly rookie awards within a calendar year. That all changed last season as four Colonials were named NEC Rookie of the Week, allowing RMU to tie a league record for distinct student-athletes honored in that category in a season. Rameses Owens (9/8), Nic Lamica (10/20), Gerald Ferguson (11/10) and Ryan Richards Jr. (11/24) each took home the honor a season ago. Although they did not win it last year, other active Colonials to have won the honor include Marcelis Branch and Marcus Prather.

Hurry Up – Robert Morris has run at least 80 offensive plays in a game 13 times in program history. After doing it eight times in its first 20 seasons, RMU has run 80+ plays five times since new offensive coordinator Darrin Hicks took over in 2014. The Colonials hit that figure four times in 2014 and reached it in this year's season opener.

Seventh Heaven - Robert Morris was selected to finish seventh in the annual preseason Northeast Conference coaches poll. That fact may actually bode well for the Colonials on multiple fronts. In two of the past three seasons, the team picked seventh in the league has gone on to claim the NEC's automatic bid into the FCS Playoffs. Furthermore, the only other time in the past decade that Robert Morris was placed in the seventh position in the preseason poll came in 2006. RMU finished 7-4 that season and was a game out of first place at 5-2 in the league. In fact, the Colonials led the nation in total defense that season, allowing an average of 228.4 yards per game.

They'll Be Back - One interesting way to examine the state of the Colonial roster is to look at the number of players that started the season opener who will be finished with their careers after this season. Of RMU’s 22 offensive and defensive starters from its opener, only five Colonials—two on offense, three on defense—will have used all of their NCAA eligibility when the 2015 campaign is completed.

Times Two - One of the mainstays returning to the RMU defense in 2015 is redshirt senior Forrest Mason. Mason earned his second straight All-NEC honor in 2014, making him just one of five Colonials ever to claim multiple all-league honors as a defensive lineman. What made his accolade even more impressive a year ago is that the league’s coaches voted him to the team despite the fact that he was only able to appear in seven games. Mason owns 97 tackles and 11.0 sacks in his career to date. He also claimed a NEC Defensive Player of the Week honor last October.

The Nurse Will See You - RMU's starting center, redshirt senior Nick Faraci, became the fifth Colonial in school history, and the first on the offensive side of the ball, to earn a prestigious Academic All-America award this past December. However, that may not even be his most impressive feat. Faraci graduated from RMU in May with the highest grade point average in his nursing class. He subsequently passed his nursing board exams in the summer to earn his registered nurse (RN) license. Faraci, who owns a 3.94 cumulative GPA, worked in four area hospitals as part of his clinical rotations over the past few years.

Robert Morris in the 2015 NEC StatsThe Founding Father - The one constant in the first two decades of Colonial football was former head coach Joe Walton. Walton, the former NFL tight end and head coach of the New York Jets, started the program from scratch, com-pleting everything from hiring assistants to purchasing equipment. He was named NEC Coach of the Year four times in 18 seasons and guided RMU to a pair of NCAA I-AA mid-major national crowns during his time on the side-lines. Walton, currently a special assistant to the athletic director at Robert Morris, was inducted into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame in November 2013.

Get To The Chopper - A quick glance at RMU’s record when broken down proves how important it is the Colonials get off to a good start in contests. When Robert Morris is leading at halftime, the program owns an all-time record of 89-15 (.856). When trailing at the break, Robert Morris owns a mark of 13-80-1 (.144). Even going into halftime tied is beneficial, as the Colonials own an overall record of 14-9 (.609) in such games.

The Magic Mark - Since the Colonials began play in 1994, there have been 76 games in which Robert Morris has scored 30 or more points. In those contests RMU boasts a record of 71-5 (.934), including a record of 42-5 (.894) in games in which the team scores between 30 and 39 points. In games in which the Colonials score 40 or more points, RMU is a perfect 29-0.

RMU Football Historical Tidbits - The inaugural running back at Robert Morris, the late Tim Hall (1994-95), rushed for 2,908 yards in his two seasons as a Colonial. Hall still owns the FCS season and career records for yards per carry, with his season record of 8.7 yards per carry set in 1994 and his two-year career record of 7.4 established in 1994 and 1995 ... Hall also ranks fourth all-time in the FCS in both rushing yards per game (153.1) and all-purpose yards per game (194.8) ... Former Colonial linebacker James Noel (2002-05) ranks sixth in the FCS record book for career tackles per game (10.7), while his career tackle total of 437 takedowns ranks 15th all-time ... Former linebacker and assistant coach Alex DiMichele (2008-10) averaged 10 tackles per game over his three years in a Robert Morris uniform, which ranks 13th all-time in the FCS record book ... Robert Morris has topped the nation in passing defense twice in the past 16 years, based on passing effi-ciency defense rating. The Colonials topped the charts in 1999 (with a 80.80 rating) as well as in 2006 (with a 88.70 rating).

Did You Know? - Robert Morris owns the all-time FCS record for the most consecutive quarters while holding an opponent scoreless. During the 1996 season, the Colonials went 15 straight quarters without allowing a single point. In fact, the record-setting streak occurred at the beginning of the sea-son. RMU posted three straight shutouts -- 20-0 against Mercyhurst (9/7), 38-0 against Butler (9/14) and 7-0 against Towson State (9/21) -- to open the campaign and then held Central Connecticut State (9/28) scoreless for the first three quarters before finally allowing a point for the first time all sea-son. In all, Robert Morris went 234:04 before allowing a point in 1996. RMU went 9-2 (.818) in 1996, claiming a share of the NEC championship, and con-ceded just 12.9 points per game.

The Last Time a Colonial ... Rushed for 200 or more yards in a game: Myles Russ, 246 (10/11/08 vs. Duquesne - span of 73 games) ...

Robert Morris CaptainsHead coach John Banaszak announced after the team's final scrimmage that four Colonials will serve as captains in the 2015 season.

OFFENSERedshirt senior Nick Faraci and senior Max Robertson are the team’s captains on offense. Faraci has started each of RMU’s past 35 games at center and was selected as an Academic All-American in 2014. Robertson started 31 games at left guard over the past three seasons, but he was shifted down a spot to left tackle prior to the 2015 season.

DEFENSERedshirt seniors Forrest Mason and Mike Stojkovic are the team’s captains on defense. Mason is a two-time All-Northeast Conference honoree and is one of just five defensive lineman in RMU history to earn multiple all-league honors. He owns 97 tackles and 11.0 sacks in his career. He became the first Colonial defensive lineman to be named NEC Defensive Player of the Week in over 15 years last October. Stojkovic, who served as a captain in the latter half of the 2014 season, was ranked among the top five in the league in tackles per game last year and totaled 82 stops. He owns 124 tackles and 14.0 tackles for loss in a Colonial uniform. The Texas native began his col-legiate career at FBS institution North Texas.

Gameday Colonial football games are heard live on ESPN Radio AM-970 Pittsburgh, the flagship station of Robert Morris University athletics. ESPN 970 and RMU reached a three-year agreement in the summer of 2013 to broadcast foot-ball, men’s basketball and men’s hockey games. The Voice of the Colonials, Chris Shovlin, and color analyst Brian Cleary call the football action. RMU Assistant Media Relations Director Spencer Kowitz joins Shovlin as color analyst for select Colonial road games. "The John Banaszak Show" is on 30 minutes prior to kickoff. Games can also be heard on the station’s website, www.970espn.com, as well as on iHeartRadio. RMU home and league games can generally be seen live for free on NEC Front Row, the conference’s online digital network. The league has added multiple upgrades in recent years, including the ability to transmit live events in HD as well as providing the ability for the viewer to use a DVR-style, in-game real-time rewind feature. Robert Morris will also have at least three games that will air on ESPN3 in 2015. The Sept. 12 game at Youngstown State, the Oct. 10 game vs. Sacred Heart and the Oct. 31 game at C. Connecticut St. will be on the digital network.Weekly Segments Coach Banaszak sits down for a weekly chat with play-by-play voice Chris Shovlin most Mondays at the All Star Sports Bar & Grill in either Robinson or Canonsburg. Their discussion is aired live on ESPN 970 from 8-9 p.m. Coach Banaszak also has a weekly segment on TribLIVE Radio that generally can be heard on Wednesday at 9:45 a.m. A Colonial student-athlete is also usually featured on ESPN 970 during a weekday afternoon.

Colonials in the NFLSince Robert Morris played its first season in 1994, three former Colonials have appeared in a game in the National Football League (NFL), the most among current NEC members in this span as of August 2015. Many players have “rewritten” record books at various schools. At Robert Morris, however, Tim Hall wrote the record book. Hall rushed for 2,908 yards on 393 carries in his two seasons in a Colonial uniform and was named an All-American by the Associated Press in 1995. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round (183rd player overall) in the 1996 NFL Draft. In 1997, he led the Raiders in yards per carry average with 5.2 and was second in rushing yards to Napolean Kaufman. On Sept. 30, 1998, Hall was shot and killed in Kansas City at age 24. Hank Fraley, who played on the offensive line for Robert Morris from 1996-1999, carved out a niche for himself in the NFL for over a decade. Fraley was a three-time Mid-Major All-American during his years at RMU before he was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers to a free-agent contract in April 2000. Fraley was later claimed by the Eagles and started at center for Philadelphia for the entire 2001 season, helping the team to the 2002 NFC Championship game. For four straight seasons with Fraley starting at center from 2002-05, the Eagles appeared in the NFC Championship game. In 2005, Fraley became the first RMU alum to appear in the Super Bowl when he started at center against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX. Former RMU defensive back Robb Butler played for the San Diego Chargers during the 2004 season and was featured in special teams situations, including returning kickoffs.
