TRUMAN FOOTBALL HISTORYF

The game of football was inaugurated at theschool, now called Truman State University, onNov. 2, 1900, in resounding fashion, as theteam from Kirksville romped past OaklawnAcademy in neighboring Novelty, Mo., 76-0.

Records indicate the 1900 team was the firstorganized squad at what was called the FirstNormal School at that time. The aggregationcompiled a 3-2-1 record. The 1903 was the firstteam sanctioned by the University.

Ninety-four more seasons of rich gridirontradition have unfolded since the infant cam-paign. However, no football was played in 1901-02, 1912-13, 1918 and 1942-44 at theUniversity.

Truman football has an all-time record of506-329-34 (.602), with four of those losseslater being forfeited by the opposing team. TheBulldogs have won 26 MIAA championships,seven more than the next closest school in con-ference history.

The Bulldogs have earned postseason playfive times, including a victory in the 1961Mineral Water Bowl. Truman reached the NCAAtournament four times, include three during the1990s.

O.C. Bell was appointed the first officialcoach by the Board of Regents in 1907. Othermen who have directed the Purple and Whiteinclude C.B. Simmons, H.L. McWilliams, Donand Fred Faurot, Earl Svendsen, Malcolm Eiken,Vincent Gehringer, James Dougherty, Maurice“Red” Wade, Marv Braden, Russ Sloan, RandyLukehart, Ron Taylor, Bruce Craddock, Jack Ball,Eric Holm and John Ware. Shannon Currier wasnamed the newest Bulldog coach in January of2004.

McWilliams compiled the first successfulcoaching record, winning 48 contests, losingonly 26 and tying eight for a .634 percentage.The 1916 team was probably his most famous,capturing the championship of the original

Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association(now the Mid-America Intercollegiate AthleticsAssociation), the Bulldogs’ first crown.McWilliams’ squads also tied three times for thechampionship between 1919-25. The first of 26titles as a member of the current MIAA waswon in 1924.

Don Faurot, who later gained fame at theUniversity of Missouri (Columbia), began hisillustrious reign in 1926. During his tenure, theBulldogs claimed seven league championshipsand chalked up perfect seasons in 1932, 1933and 1934.

Under Don Faurot, the Bulldogs notched 63wins against 13 losses and three ties for an.816 winning percentage. Between 1931-35, theBulldogs compiled a streak of 27 consecutivevictories, one of the longest in intercollegiatefootball.

The longest tenure of any Truman coach wascharted by Wade who guided the program for16 years between 1951-66. He is still the win-ningest coach (99 victories) in the history offootball at Truman. His teams won eight MIAAchampionships, and made the first postseasonappearance in 1961.

Eric Holm made his mark on BulldogFootball in the early 90s, leading the team tothree NCAA Division II postseason appearancesin five years and compiling a stellar 37-19record.

John Ware took the reigns from Holm afterserving as Holm’s assistant head coach. Warecontinued the Bulldog tradition with sevenmore winning seasons, including the school’s16th eight-win season in 2001. He tied Faurotas the second-longest acting head coach atTruman with nine seasons as the Bulldogtaskmaster, and racked up the third-most wins.

While the Truman program has had somegreat coaches throughout the years, much of thesuccess is due to the talented athletes that have

worn the Bulldog uniform.Fourteen Bulldogs athletes have earned first-

team all-American honors, eight have beennamed MIAA MVP and eight have played in theNational Football League.

One of the earliest stars for Truman wasArnold Embree, a quarterback for the Bulldogsfrom 1931-34. He was the team leader duringthe team’s most successful stretch in school his-tory. The Bulldogs won MIAA titles in 1932,1933 and 1934 and won 27 straight games.

Dale Mills performed for Truman between1957-60, and left school with 10 NCAA records,including 4,502 career rushing yards.

Many of Mills’ school rushing records werebroken in 1996 by another great Bulldog run-ning back, Jarrett Anderson. Anderson becamethe first Truman player to win the Harlon Hilltrophy, the Division II equivalent of theHeisman.

Those three athletes are just a few of thegreats in Bulldog history. With the addition ofhead coach ShannonCurrier and his high-powered offense in2004, the great tra-dition of Bulldogfootball looks tocontinue in2005 andbeyond.

Jarrett Anderson made college football histo-ry when he completed an illustrious four-yearcareer at Truman and became the first Bulldogto win the NCAA Division II Player of the Yearaward, the Harlon Hill Trophy.

The award was presented to Anderson onDec. 13, 1996, in Florence, Ala. Andersonreceived 42 first-place votes from NCAA DivisionII football sports information directors and had agrand total of 207 points, just two shy of settingthe Harlon Hill record at that time for mostpoints. His name did appear on 92 of the 105ballots cast which was a new record for theaward at that time.

Anderson finished his career with a Trumanand Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics

Associationrecord of6,166 yardsrushing, shat-tering formerBulldog Dale“Paley” Mills’(1957-60) 36-year-oldrecord of4,502. It alsomade him thethird all-timerusher inNCAA historyat any level,passing for-mer Heismanwinners TonyDorsett,HerschelWalker andArchie

Griffin.During his senior campaign, Anderson was

unanimously voted MIAA Offensive MVP. Herushed for 2,140 yards in ‘96, setting the NCAADivision II mark for yards in a season that year,the sixth-highest single season total among alldivisions at that time.

Anderson broke or tied five NCAA Division IIrecords his final season. In addition to the sea-son rushing record, he set records in seasonyards per game with 194.5 and career touch-downs at 73, and he tied the marks for 1,000-yard seasons with four and 200-yard games in aseason with five in 1996.

Ten MIAA records and 17 Truman standardswere re-written before Anderson, who had neverbeen redshirted, took off the Purple and Whitefor the last time. Besides those that were alsoNCAA marks, others included single-seasontouchdowns (28), single-season rushing touch-downs (27), career scoring (440), single-seasonscoring (168), career rushing attempts (979) and100-yard games in a career (20 out of 43). Hetied the mark for touchdowns in a game in theMIAA (6), but it stands as a Truman record.

Anderson gained 306 yards against EmporiaState, tying Mills’ single-game record at Truman,but ESU’s Brian Shay gained 360 yards in a gameearlier in the 1996 season for the league record.Shay led the nation in rushing for several weeksafter that, but Anderson claimed the honor withtwo weeks remaining to lead the nation in rush-ing and scoring for the year.

Shay broke many of Anderson’s NCAA andMIAA records before he finished his career in1997. A complete account of Anderson’s currentNCAA records is on page 46.

“A player like Jarrett only comes along onceevery 50 years or so,” his head coach John Ware

said. “I feel honored to have been his coach.”Anderson, who never missed a game in four

years, began in 1993 when he rushed for 1,096and was named MIAA freshman of the year. Hewas MIAA Offensive MVP two consecutive yearsin 1995 and 1996, and a finalist for the HillTrophy in 1994.

During the 2000 season, Anderson had hisNo. 3 retired at Truman, and he was named tothe Truman all-Century football team.
