25th Anniversary in 2009 The past three seasons have dealt great change to the Missouri Valley Football Confer-ence. Within that span, the league has lost a member, gained two members and changed its name. Despite those developments, one thing -- quality, nationally competitive football -- has remained constant for the league, which cel-ebrates its Silver Anniversary in 2009. The Missouri Valley Football Conference enters its 25th year of existence this fall and has proven to be one of the nations premier NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leagues. Theres not much that has eluded the confer-ence in its fi rst 24 years of existence. The leagues fi rst two-plus decades have included national championships, national players of the year, national coaches of the year, No. 1 na-tional rankings, and countless All-Americans. Indeed, all signs point to continued national prominence for the Missouri Valley Football Conference as it enters its 25th season in 2009.

2008 Season Highlights In June, presidents of the nine-member Gateway Football Conference and the 10-mem-ber Missouri Valley Conference approved a rebranding initiative that changed the football conference name from the Gateway Football Conference to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It represented the second name change for the football league. Initially, the con-ference competed as the Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference (1985-91) and the Gateway Football Conference (1992-2007). Although the league shares the Missouri Valley name, the football-playing members compete under a separate administrative um-brella, as the Missouri Valley Conference and the Missouri Valley Football Conference will remain separate entities. While the 2008 season didn’t produce a national championship, it was a successful one, as UNI became the 14th different league team to reach the semifi nals of the FCS playoffs, while Southern Illinois also represented the conference in the playoffs, marking the 14th consecutive season in which at least two teams have participated in post-season play. For four straight weeks, six league teams were ranked in the Top 25 -- the fi rst time that had ever happened, while North Dakota State enjoyed the No. 1 national ranking for two-straight weeks early in the 2008 campaign. Western Illinois running back Herb Donaldson was a fi nalist in the Walter Payton Award voting while leading the nation in rushing yards per game and points scored per contest.

Last year, despite tough scheduling, fi ve teams in the conference had winning records, matching an all-time high. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has had four teams (or more) with better than .500 records in the same season 15 times now, including the past 11 seasons. A minimum of two league teams have won at least nine games in each of the past seven seasons. Six teams were nationally ranked in the same poll, marking the fi rst time in league history that had happened. Those six teams were ranked for four-straight weeks. North Dakota State held the nations No. 1 spot for its fi rst two weeks as a conference member, while rookie coach Dale Lennon of Southern Illinois became just the third to win Coach of the Year honors in his fi rst league season.

A Strong History The Missouri Valley Football Conference has won two national championships (Western Kentucky - 2002; Youngstown State - 1997), and league members Youngstown State (3) and Southern Illinois (1) own additional titles prior to their league membership, meaning six FCS championship trophies are housed on league campuses, in addition to three (Youngstown State twice and UNI in 2005) runner-up fi nishes. Only fi ve FCS leagues possess more than a single FCS championship trophy, and the Mis-souri Valley Football Conference is among that elite. In recent years, the league has established itself as a leader among FCS conferences. During the past 12 years, the league has two national championships, and eight other semi-fi nal trips. The leagues 35-25 playoff mark in that span is third-best among all FCS leagues, and the conference has had four teams reach the title game since 1997. The Missouri Valley Football Conference success is not limited to the immediate past. During the decade of the 1990s, current mem-bers of the league compiled a 34-19 mark in the FCS playoffs, bettered only by the Southern Conference, whose members were 37-19 in that decade. Team accomplishments have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Football Conference as an FCS elite, but individuals at the leagues member institutions are the real source of pride within the conference. Thanks to great players and strong coaching, the Missouri Valley Football Conference has reached and will maintain its place among the FCS best. The MVFC is the only automatic FCS qualify-ing conference that sponsors football as its only sport. In the 24 years of football, league membership has been stable -- with only fi ve fl uctuations since 1986.

Youngstown State’s football home is a place that has been defended well through its fi rst 27 seasons. The tallest building in the city, the stadium rises high above the Mahon-ing Valley and offers tremendous views in all directions. Perhaps that is why Arnold D. Stambaugh Stadium has garnered the nickname the “Ice Castle.” Over the years, the Ice Castle has been a protected place. Almost four out of fi ve times a visiting program has left Stambaugh Stadium on the losing end of the score. Only four times in 27 seasons have the Penguins failed to fi nish above .500. In the playoffs, YSU is 14-1 having won 14 straight since losing their fi rst-ever home playoff tilt in November 1990. Since 1996, the Guins have posted a stellar mark of 66-21. Since 1989, YSU is an impressive 111-24-1, including undefeated seasons in 1993, 1994 and 2005. In the past three years, YSU is 22-5 at Stambaugh Stadium with four of those losses coming by a total of 17 points. In 2007, Youngstown State was 6-1 with the lone loss coming by just fi ve points. In 2006, the Guins were 7-1 posting playoff wins over James Madison and Illinois State. The contest against JMU was televised nationally on ESPN2. The 2005 campaign was impressive as YSU won all six home games, including two by three points or less. All-time, the Penguins have won 75.6 percent of their games at Stambaugh posting an impressive 131-42-1 record in 26 seasons. One of the fi nest FCS football facilities in the country with a seating

capacity of 20,630, Stambaugh has been the home for the Penguins since the early 1980’s. Many tweaks and upgrades have taken place through the years to ensure a home-fi eld advantage and keep it a cutting-edge facility. Built in 1982 (17,000 capacity) with seating only on the west side, Stambaugh entered a new era in 1997 when the Stadium underwent a $5.5 million addition. Prior to the 1997 campaign, the number of loges (luxury suites) was expanded from 12 to 26. The Watson Media Center, one of the best press facilities in FCS, was added onto the second level of the complex. The DeBartolo Stadium Club, which overlooks the city of Youngstown, is located on the main loge area, and is used for meetings, press confer-ences and luncheons. Also, seating for more than 3,000 was added on the east side to bring the capacity to 20,630, the highest in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. In 2000, a sound system was added to the east and west sides. Twice

the playing surface has been replaced, most recently in 2002. That summer, SprinTurf, was installed making the school only one of fi ve FCS schools to play on the synthetic surface. The replacement removed the AstroTurf that was in place since 1991. In 2004, a new scoreboard featuring a Mitsubishi DiamondVision videoboard was installed. The DiamondVision screen consists of 126,464 LEDs to provide an incredibly-clear picture for animations and in-game replays. The board, which was manufactured in Nagaski, Japan, is 17-feet wide by 12.5-feet high. In 2005, wireless internet was added to the Watson Media Center. The Media Center houses the press area, radio and television booths, public address and PenguinVision. In 2006, a new concourse elevator became the latest enhancement. From the summer of 2008 through Feb-ruary 2009, the football offi ce suites were renovated, the loge complex was repainted and all hallways were tiled. New carpet was in-stalled in the DeBartolo Stadium Club. Tile was also installed in the football classroom’s and numerous painting makeovers occurred. Over the summer in 2009, the chairback seats were replaced at a cost of $250,000 while the baseball locker room was moved to its own area out of the football locker area. YSU’s athletic administrative offi ces, ticket offi ce, football offi ces, strength-training facil-ity, softball, soccer, football and baseball locker rooms, training room and Academic Center are located in the complex. Six racquetball courts and offi ce areas for the ROTC program are in the building as well. The multipurpose complex is also home to the soccer team and intramural events. Five basketball courts are in the stadium’s gymnasium.

ENERAL INFORMATION


Youngstown State University football coach Jon Heacock has a strong belief system that has kept the program on track for the past eight years. Now one of the best defensive minds in FCS history is assuming the role of head coach and defensive coordinator for the fi rst time because he believes its right for the program. Heacock held the defensive coordinator post prior to becoming the team’s head coach in 2000. He was also the coordinator during the program’s fi rst three NCAA titles in the 1990’s. In the three years prior to 2008, YSU had won 26 games and two confer-ence championships while advancing to the Football Championship Subdivision playoff semifi nals in 2006. The Penguins posted a 7-4 mark in 2007, an 11-3 campaign in 2006 and posted an 8-3 mark in 2005. In 2008, YSU had to overcome injuries - 26 players missed at least one game while 20 missed multi-games - and inexperience - 28 made their fi rst career starts - but in the end the group showed what Penguin pride is all about. Youngstown State won its fi nal two games sending its seniors out on a high note and giving the underclassmen some momentum heading in 2009. The Guins fi nished 4-8 last season and hope to rekindle some of the magic it had in the previous three campaigns. Looking to roll up his sleeves after a tough 2008 campaign shows just how much passion for the program Heacock possesses. In 2007, Youngstown State opened the year at Ohio State, the fi rst football contest against the Buckeyes in the program’s history. YSU rebounded to win four consecutive home games. A top-10 matchup at Southern Illinois came down to the fi nal play, but the Penguins came up just short falling to the Salukis by a touchdown. The next week, YSU picked up its fi rst one-point win since 1997 beat-ing Southern Utah. Two straight tightly-contested contests did not go the Guins’ way follow-ing that decision. YSU lost by fi ve points to Illinois State and suffered a one-point loss at Gateway Champion UNI. Overall, YSU’s three FCS losses were by a total of 13 points. The team rebounded with two impressive wins to end the season marking the fi fth time in eight seasons that the Guins won at least seven games under Coach Heacock. The journey during the 2006 season will be remembered for a long time. YSU posted fi ve wins over top-25 ranked foes, earned the school’s fi rst outright Gateway title since joining the league, earned an automatic bid to the playoffs for the fi rst time since 1987 and captured conference titles in consecutive years for the fi rst time since 1978-79. The Penguins had a record 10 fi rst-team all-conference selec-tions while a group of 15 players earned all-league accolades. Four Guins earned All-America honors of some sort, including fi rst-team selections Ryan Jewell

the honor. Overall, Youngstown State had 12 all-conference selections, including fi ve on the fi rst team. They also had the conference’s Newcomer of the Year in Mason. For the fi rst time he was named the AFCA’s Division FCS Region Four Coach of the Year. He was also a fi nalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach-of-the-Year Award. After eight years with the program, Heacock owns a 54-39 mark since taking over in January 2001. He has had four winning seasons with the school and on three occasions has produced eight victories in a campaign. Heacock helped create a blueprint for success throughout the most of the 1990’s as an assistant coach, and despite the fact that YSU’s plan for success has been followed by most other FCS schools, the program has remained solid under his leadership as head coach. In 2004, the Penguins’ youth movement continued with only 13 seniors on the roster. YSU showed improvement throughout the season to fi nish 4-7. Youngstown State’s record hinged on just a few moments with fi ve of the seven losses coming by six points or less. In 2003, numerous injuries, youth and playing FCS’s toughest schedule led to a 5-7 mark. The Penguins began the year strong winning four of six games, but lost fi ve of their fi nal six contests -- four of which came to teams that played in the postseason and were then ranked in the top 10. Overall in 2003, YSU played six teams that advanced to the postseason. In 2002, the Penguins fi nished with a 7-4 mark and showed their true character winning the fi nal three games of the season after splitting the fi rst eight contests. In the fi nal three games -- wins over Southern Illinois, Illinois State and Samford -- Youngstown showed it is a program that is full of heart. In his fi rst season in 2001, he had the best season of any fi rst-year coach in school history as the Penguins posted an 8-3 mark. Heacock, who is the fi fth head coach in school history and the fourth to have his fi rst head-coaching position being in charge of the Penguins, has been up to the challenge despite facing the daunting task of fi lling the shoes of a four-time national-title winning coach and leading a program that has had numerous successes.

cock was named the Gateway’s Bruce Craddock Coach of the Year, the American Football Coaches Association’s FCS Region Four Coach of the Year and a fi nalist for the Eddie Robinson Award. The Penguins went through the non-conference portion of the regular-season with a 3-1 mark, the lone loss at Penn State. In conference action, the Guins opened up 3-0 with road wins at Missouri State and Western Illinois and a home win over Indiana State. Following a tough loss to UNI, the Penguins rebounded winning at third-ranked Illinois State, beating 12th-ranked Southern Illinois and concluding the regular season with a win at Western Kentucky. In the playoffs, YSU overcame a 31-20 fourth-quarter defi cit to beat sixth-ranked James Madison 35-31 before a national-television audience on ESPN2. In a rematch against Illinois State, YSU held on to win 28-21. The wins at Stambaugh Stadium extended a postseason home winning streak to 14 and gave Youngstown State a 7-1 home record for the year. In the national semifi nals, top-ranked and eventual national champion Appalachian State handed the Guins a 49-24 setback to end the cam-paign. YSU reached the semis for the fi rst time since 1999. In 2005, Coach Heacock and his staff were able to turnaround a program that had two consecutive losing seasons and was picked sixth in the confer-ence at the start of the year. Youngstown State fi nished the 2005 campaign with an 8-3 overall record and a 5-2 mark in the highly-competitive Gateway. YSU earned a part of its fi rst-ever Gateway Conference title fi nishing in a tie with Southern Illinois and Northern Iowa. The Guins jumped out to an impressive 7-1 start. YSU opened 3-0 before losing to FBS member Pitts-burgh. Youngstown State regrouped and rattled off four consecutive conference victories. After tough road defeats at UNI and Southern Illinois, YSU closed out the regular season with an impressive 42-10 victory over Western Kentucky. The Penguins were tough to beat at home posting a perfect 6-0 mark. It was the fi rst time since 1994 the YSU went through a regular-season unbeaten at home. In the fi nal regular-season polls, Youngstown State was ranked 13th after receiving a meager fi ve votes in the preseason rankings. Following the regular season, Heacock was named the league’s Bruce Craddock Coach of the Year marking the fi rst time since the Penguins joined the league in 1997 that a YSU coach had earned

He had spent seven of the past 10 years as an assistant under Jim Tressel before the opportunity arose for Heacock to take over the program. Tressel left for Ohio State after 15 years as the Penguins’ head coach and on Jan. 25, 2001, Heacock was named the school’s fi fth head coach. In Heacock’s debut, the Penguins beat Lock Haven 38-7 as he became just the second head coach in school history to win his opening game. Victories over Clarion and Western Illinois followed as Heacock became the fi rst coach in school history to win his fi rst three YSU games. Throughout the remainder of the season, YSU earned wins over Indiana State, Missouri State, Illinois State, Southern Illinois and Elon while suffering defeats to NCAA semifi nalist UNI, NCAA Playoff qualifi er Western Kentucky and GMAC Bowl champion Marshall. Against Marshall, the Penguins led the 20th-ranked FBS team into the fourth quarter and battled until the fi nal seconds before losing a heartbreaking 38-24 decision. With the eight victories, Heacock set a school record for wins by a fi rst-year coach. Heacock fi rst came to YSU before the 1991 season. Before taking over as the head coach, he had been a member of the coaching staff for seven of the 10 previous years as an assistant, including spending six as the defensive coordinator. Heacock was the defensive coordinator at YSU from 1992 through 1996 before going to Indiana. He returned to YSU from Indiana University for the 2000 season to serve as the defensive coordinator and less than a year later became the head coach. In 2000, in Heacock’s second stint as a defensive coordinator with the YSU program, the Penguins defense was a key factor in leading the team to a 9-3 mark and an appearance in the FCS playoffs. Youngstown State fi nished 15th in the nation in scoring defense. Before returning to YSU, he spent three seasons as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Indiana. Heacock’s fi rst stay at Youngstown State brought much success to the program in his six seasons (61-19-2). In his fi rst four years YSU appeared in the FCS Championship Game and earned three national championships (1991, 1993 and 1994). He was the defensive backs coach in 1991 as YSU fi nished 12-3 and beat Marshall 25-17 in the National Championship Game. The next season he was promoted to defensive coordinator, while

also coaching the defensive backs, and served in that capac-ity through the 1996 campaign. In 1992, YSU advanced to the title game losing to Marshall. His defense in 1993 yielded only 15.5 points per game and helped the Penguins to a 17-5 victory in the championship game against Marshall. His 1994 unit may have been his best allowing an average of 10.1 points per game and hold-ing nine opponents to 10 points or less. YSU fi nished the year with a school-record 14-0-1 mark capped by a win over Boise State in the title game. YSU fi nished 3-8 in 1995 and was 8-3 in 1996. Prior to his fi rst stint at YSU, Heacock served as an assistant coach at the United States Mili-tary Academy from 1990. For two years (1988-89), Heacock was a graduate assis-tant at Michigan under coach Bo Schlembechler where he worked with the Wolverines’ defensive backs and special teams in ad-dition to assisting in many other capacities. During his two years, Michigan won two Big Ten titles and appeared in the Rose Bowl twice, winning in 1989. Prior to his stint at Michigan, Heacock was the defensive coordinator, secondary coach, and defensive line coach at West Liberty College from 1985-87. Heacock’s coaching career began in 1983 when he was hired as a graduate assistant to be the defensive line coach at the University of Toledo. After spending one season with the Rockets, Heacock joined the staff at Steubenville High School, where he helped guide The Big Red to the 1984 Ohio Division II State Championship. Heacock, a native of Beloit, Ohio, earned a bachelor’s degree in health and physical educa-tion from Muskingum College in 1983. At Muskingum, Heacock played football and competed on the track and fi eld team. He is a 1979 graduate of West Branch High School. He is actively involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and its mission. Jon and his wife, Trescia, who is a registered nurse, have a son, Jace and a daughter, Adelyn.

In his four years as Youngstown State’s offensive coordinator, Brian Wright has

helped the program put up some record-setting numbers on the fi eld.

Wright is in his ninth year overall at YSU where he has handled the quarterbacks every

campaign. Last year, junior Brandon Summers took over

as the signal caller in record fashion. Summers set school marks for comple-tion percentage and passing effi ciency while throwing the most regular-season touchdown passes (18) since Ron Jaworski. The offense switched to a spread formation and the passing game got an immediate boost. Three receivers had over 30 receptions, the fi rst time three players have caught 30-or-more passes in the same year since 1994. For just the second time since 1990 the Guins had more yardage passing than rushing. YSU scored 28-or-more points on seven occasions in 2008. The 2007 campaign was a bittersweet year for the program as four-year starter Tom Zetts concluded a brilliant career. Zetts completed his career as the school’s all-time leader in passing yards, completions, attempts, touchdowns, starts, 200-yard games and completion percentage. Zetts was a second-team all-league pick, and for the third straight campaign, he was a fi rst-team Academic all-conference pick. As a unit in 2007, YSU put up 27.4 points per contest while totaling 4,035 yards of total offense. The offense was fairly balanced with 196.5 yards coming on the ground and 170.4 coming through the air. In the past four years, the Guins have scored 30-or-more points 24 times, including 10 40-point games. YSU has scored more than 21 points on 35 oc-casions. In his fi rst three years as the offensive coordinator, the Penguins aver-aged 360 yards or more per game (382.3 in 2005, 381.6 in 2006 and 366.8 in 2007) - a school record for consecutive seasons above 350 yards. In 2006, the Guins amassed 5,343 yards of total offense - third most in school history -- averaging 381.6 per game - the sixth best total. A scoring juggernaut, YSU averaged 31.4 points per contest - fourth best in school history - while scoring more than 30 points eight times. The offense had a school-record seven all-conference selections, including placing three on the fi rst team. Two of those individuals were All-America selec-tions - tailback Marcus Mason and center Ryan Jewell. YSU relied on a solid ground game in 2006 averaging 223.7 yards. The of-fense had three 200-plus yard single-game rushing performances and a 300-yard passing contest. While clicking on all cylinders in 2006, the offense was just as talented - and balanced - in 2005. The offense averaged 382.3 yards, the fi fth-best total in school history. The unit averaged almost identical numbers on the ground and through the air with 191.6 yards rushing and 190.6 yards passing per contest. Wright had a standout career as a wide receiver at the College of Wooster from 1990 through 1994. He was a three-year letterwinner and was a two-time captain for the Scots as a wide receiver. His football career was cut short by a knee injury his senior season and he served as a student assistant that year. He earned his bachelor’s degree in business economics at the College of Wooster in 1994 and his master’s in education from Walsh in 1998. Brian and his wife, Laura, have two sons Jacob and Joe, and a daughter, Marielle.

Assistant Head Coach and Running Backs Coach Sam Eddy keeps coaching

running backs who churn out impressive numbers.

The past two seasons, Youngstown State has not had a senior tailback carry the football,

but his unit continues to turn out impressive results. And last year, when the Penguins switched

to the spread last year, Eddy coached the fullbacks and tight ends into a group called the “Superbacks”. In 2008, YSU’s running backs combined for 1,651 yards and 12 touchdowns. Leading the way was freshman Kamryn Keys who rushed for a school freshman record 804 yards. For his efforts, Keys was selected as the Missouri Valley Football Conference Freshman of the Year. After losing All-America tailback Marcus Mason in 2007, the Penguins’ four primary running backs combined for 1,410 yards and 15 touchdowns. Junior Kevin Smith led the way with 610 yards and a team-best 10 touchdowns. Smith was named to the Gateway’s All-Newcomer team for this efforts. The 2006 season was especially gratifying for Eddy as he was named the American Football Coaches Association FCS Assistant Coach of the Year. It was a pretty good year for the Penguin running backs in 2006 as well so the timing couldn’t have been better. Tailback Marcus Mason rushed for a school-record 1,847 yards, averaging a school-best 153.9 per game. Mason was a consensus All-American for his efforts during a year where he rushed for more than 100 yards 10 times, including a 265-yard performance at Western Illinois and 249 against Southern Illinois. Reserve Monquantae Gibson had his own impressive performance with 236 yards on 43 attempts at Western Kentucky. Mason and Gibson combined for 2,387 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2006. Mason was the league’s Offensive Player of the Year, a fi rst-team all-conference pick and fi nished fourth in the Walton Payton Award balloting. In just two seasons, he scored 31 touchdowns while rushing for 2,719 yards. Since YSU joined the conference in 1997, Eddy has had fi ve backs reap a total of 10 all-conference awards, including two Offensive Players of the Year. He has coached seven fi rst-team selections, one second team and two honorable-mention picks. Eddy’s fi rst-team backs are Mason (2006), Demetrius Ison (2004, 2005), P.J. Mays (2001, 2002), Adrian Brown (1999) and Jake Andreadis (1997). Eddy has been a member of the staff since 1994 and has been a collegiate coach since 1978. Since coming to YSU in 1994 he has helped tutor some of the best running backs in school history. Mason, Mays, Brown and Andreadis all rank in the top six in school history in career rushing yardage. Including playoff games, the group has rushed for more than 13,000 yards and scored more than 130 touchdowns. The top three single-season rushing performances have all come since Eddy joined the staff. Following their careers Mason (Washington Redskins) and Mays (San Diego Chargers) signed NFL undrafted free-agent contacts. A native of Beloit, Wis., Eddy is a 1978 graduate of Taylor University in Upland, Ind. He graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Computer Science. Eddy was a standout tailback and baseball player and was inducted into his alma mater’s Hall of Fame in 1989. Sam and his wife, Connie, have two children, Jessica and Andrew. Connie works in the YSU Athletic Department as an assistant in the business offi ce.

The Penguins’ wide receivers have fl ourished the past fi ve seasons under assistant coach Dave Elliott. Elliott is in

his sixth season as an assistant on the Youngstown State staff as the wide receiv-

ers coach. YSU has numerous achievements the program

hasn’t accomplished in years. Under his leadership, YSU has had a receiver catch the most touchdown passes in a regular season since 1998 (Donald Jones in 2008), tie the school record with 11 receptions in a game (T.J. Peterson vs. James Madison in 2006), have two receivers with more than 100 yards in the same game (Jones and Dominique Barnes at Illinois State) since 1987; had 50-plus receptions in year for the fi rst time since 1999 (Peterson in 2006) and caught scoring passes in four consecutive games for the fi rst time since 1992 (Jones in 2008). During the 2008 campaign, the Guins had three wide receivers with more than 30 receptions. The last time three players had at least 30 catches in the same season was 1994. It was the fi rst time in school history three wide receivers had more than 30 grabs in the same year. Barnes led the way with 38 grabs, after catching three in 2007, while Jones, a newcomer, led in yards (510) and touchdowns (seven). In 2007, the program had its fi rst-ever fi rst-team All-Gateway selection at the position in the versatile Ferlando Williams. Williams fi nished the year with a team-high 42 receptions for 499 yards. He also rushed for 464 yards on 72 carries and had nine touchdowns. Senior Rory Berry had a career-best 39 receptions for 473 yards. During the playoff run in 2006, Elliott’s group faced some retooling and numerous questions, but the wide receivers stepped up time and again to have a very productive season. Leading the way was honorable-mention all-league pick T.J. Peterson, who caught 53 passes for 767 yards and seven touchdowns. Peterson’s total number of grabs was the highest total by a Guin since 1999 and the second most in a season since 1993. His yardage total was also the most by an individual since 1999 and second most in the past 12 campaigns. He became just the third wide out to haul in seven touchdown passes in a year since 1995 as well. Highlighting his season was a school-record-tying 11 grabs in the fi rst-round playoff win over James Madison. Berry, who had zero receptions in three years with the program entering the ‘06 slate, caught 31 passes for 366 yards and three touchdowns. In 2005, four different wide receivers caught at least 18 passes, marking the fi rst time that much balance has occurred at the position during the same season in school history. Honorable-Mention All-Gateway and Hula Bowl selection Kyle Smith led the way with 37 receptions for 482 yards and fi ve touchdowns. Smith established a new school record by catching a pass in 30 consecutive games played. In his fi rst year in 2004, the YSU receivers benefi ted greatly as a group post-ing their most successful campaign in six seasons. He graduated from Michigan in 1975 with a degree in Physical Education. For the Wolverines, he was a two-year starter as a defensive back while being a member of four Big Ten Championship squads. Dave and his wife Peggy, have two daughters, Catherine and Christina.

Since his arrival, offensive line coach Chris Bache has played a key role in the success of the program the past four

seasons. The Guins have won 30 games since Bache’s joined the staff prior to the

2005 campaign. Bache had the role of recruiting coordinator

added to his list of duties prior to last year. In 2008, senior offensive lineman Brad Samsa was named an All-America selection by the American Football Coaches of America. It was the second time in three seasons that the Guins placed an offensive lineman on an All-America squad. Samsa was also a fi rst-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference se-lection. In Bache’s four years, YSU has had four fi rst-team all-league picks and seven all-conference honorees. For the year, Youngstown State quarterbacks combined to complete 60.4 per-cent of their passes and threw 19 touchdown passes, the most since 1999. Combining the 2006 and 2007 seasons, the Guins were one of just two teams to rank in the top eight at the FCS level in sacks allowed per contest. In 25 games, YSU allowed just 25 sacks, including just nine in 2007. In 2007, the Guins battled through injuries to produce a productive campaign as three linemen were lost before conference play even started. However, the unit fi nished with a solid campaign as Samsa, who started at guard the previous two years, moved to tackle and earned second-team All-America and fi rst-team All-Gateway honors. The Guins ranked fi fth nationally, surrendering just 0.82 sacks per game, allowing nine for the year. YSU averaged 366.8 yards of total offense and 27.4 points per game. On the ground, the Penguins averaged 196.5 per contest while through the air, they averaged 170.4 yards a game. In 2006, the Penguin offensive line helped pave the way for the best individual rushing performance in school history. A veteran unit, the entire line started 13 of 14 games together. All-America tailback Marcus Mason took advantage rushing for a school-record 1,847 yards, averaging 153.9 a contest. As a team, YSU averaged 223.7 yards rushing a game, ranking second in the conference and ninth nationally. The unit wasn’t one dimensional, as the Guins provided great pocket protec-tion for the quarterback throughout the year. YSU yielded just 13 sacks for the entire campaign, ranking eighth in the nation and fi rst in the league. For the fi rst-time in school history, three offensive lineman were named All-Gateway. Ryan Jewell and Patrick Walker were fi rst-team all-conference selections while Samsa was a second-team pick. In 2005, his unit had two all-conference performers and helped the Guins to their fi fth-best total offensive mark in history. Under Bache’s tutelage, Jewell was named fi rst-team All-Gateway while tackle John Bartos was an honorable-mention selection. YSU threw for its highest yardage average since 1987 (190.6 yards per game) while the ground game averaged just under 200 yards a game. Bache starred at inside linebacker for IUP from 1983-86 while recording 337 tackles, including 118 as a junior in 1985. He is one of only 12 players in IUP history since 1960 to record more than 300 career tackles. His father Joe and his brother Kevin also played for the Indians. Chris and his wife, Kathleen, have three daughters, Katelyn, Kirsten and Karlie.

Former Penguin defensive back Sherod Holmes is in his fi fth year as an assistant

coach. Holmes, who joined the staff in August 2005, coaches YSU’s defensive

backs. Holmes has worked extremely hard the

past two seasons with the group, which has undertaken new coverage schemes.

In 2008, Jarvis Richards, Lenny Wicks, De’Angelo Wilson and Randy Louis saw the bulk of the coverage responsibilities out on the so-called island. The group responded by combining for seven interceptions and 10 pass breakups last year. YSU took a hit when Richards went down in the fourth game with an injury, but the unit regrouped behind Wilson and Wicks. In 2007, Richards, Wicks and Wilson took over as corners for the Penguins. The trio combined for 12 pass breakups and fi ve interceptions. Wicks and Wilson had never played for the Guins while Richards was in his fi rst year as a full-time starter. In 2006, both Guins corners were fi rst-team All-Gateway Conference selections. Jason Perry and Codera Jackson both earned fi rst-team all-league accolades. Perry became just the second player in school history to return two interceptions for touchdowns in a career. He returned interceptions for scores against UC Davis and Missouri State. Both players intercepted four passes on the year. In 2005, Jackson burst on the scene to earn fi rst-team all-conference laurels and second-team All-America honors. Jackson had six interceptions for the season, including a return for a touchdown at Liberty. A two-year starter at corner, Holmes played at Youngstown State in 2002 and 2003 after transferring from Butte Community College. In his YSU career, he recorded 59 total tackles, 15 pass breakups and had four interceptions. As a senior, he was named honorable-mention All-Gateway for his efforts. He fi nished the season with 27 tackles, including 19 solo stops. He led the team with eight pass breakups and recorded an interception against Kent State. For his efforts, he was named YSU’s John Delserone Most Valuable Player. As a junior, he was named to the Gateway Conference’s All-Newcomer team. For the year he tied for the team lead with three interceptions and led the squad with seven pass breakups. He fi nished the year with 32 total tackles, including 25 solo stops. Holmes also spent two years as a member of the track and fi eld squad. In 2003, he helped YSU earn the Horizon League men’s indoor championship by placing second in the 60-meter dash and fi fth in the 200-meter dash. In the outdoor league meet, he fi nished second in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.83 seconds. In 2004, he was the Horizon League Champion in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.93 seconds. A native of Stockton, Calif., he came to Youngstown State after two seasons at Butte Community College in Oroville, Calif. At Butte, he was named fi rst-team All-Northern California as a sophomore defensive back. He also played wide receiver as his team won two conference championships. He graduated from Youngstown State with a degree in Criminal Justice in 2005.

A 10-year National Football League vet-eran, Youngstown native Jerry Olsavsky is in his seventh season as the Penguins’

linebacker coach. A fearless competitor and tireless worker,

Olsavsky joined the staff prior to the 2003 campaign and has brought to the program a

tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to the position.

In his six seasons, Olsavsky has coached eight All-Gateway Conference selections, including three-time fi rst-team pick James Terry (2005-07). Terry is just the second player in school history to be named fi rst-team all-conference in three straight years. In 2008, Olsavsky’s linebackers began the season as an inexperienced group, but improved and grew throughout the year. Even at the end of the season, YSU started a junior, sophomore and a true freshman the fi nal four games. During the course of the year, only one senior started a total of seven games. Underclass-men started 29 of the 36 possible slots at the three positions for the season. Four fi rst-time starters saw time at linebacker in 2008. In 2007, Terry was a fi rst-team selection while Jeremiah Wright was an honorable-mention pick. Three of the Guins’ top fi ve tacklers were linebackers in Terry, Wright and Roshon Simons. In 2006, two Penguins earned fi rst-team all-conference honors in the same campaign for the fi rst time in school history. Terry and Marty Hutchinson earned laurels from the conference for spearheading a defense that led the conference in turnover margin. Hutchinson had an impressive year fi nishing with 114 tackles. He was also second on the team with eight pass breakups. Terry had 76 tackles, including a team-high tying 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. Four of the top nine tacklers on the squad were linebackers. In 2005, YSU had two linebackers earn All-Gateway honors as Terry was a fi rst-team selection while Mike Andrews had the best year of his career to earn honorable-mention accolades. It marked the fi rst time since Tim Johnson in 2000 that the Penguins had a fi rst-team all-league linebacker. In 2004, two of his linebackers earned all-conference laurels. Wright, then a sophomore, was named second-team All-Gateway and Terry was named to the all-newcomer squad. Wright recorded a team and career-high 91 tackles as three members of the linebacking corps were among YSU’s top four in total tackles. Leading the way for the Penguins in 2003 was linebacker Yancey Marcum with 114 tackles. Five of YSU’s top eight tacklers came from the linebacker spots. Olsavsky, a graduate of Youngstown’s Chaney High School, had a standout career for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1989-97. After getting drafted in the 10th round, he played in 108 games making 227 tackles for Pittsburgh. In 1995, he was the Steelers’ Ed Block Courage Award recipient for outstanding on-fi eld performance despite overcoming personal obstacles. That year, the Steelers lost to Dallas in Super Bowl XXX, and he made a start in the AFC Championship Game against the Colts. Playing collegiately at Pittsburgh, he was a fi rst-team Kodak All-American as a senior in 1988 making 129 tackles. He became the Panthers’ fi rst defensive player since 1976 to record more than 100 tackles in three consecutive seasons. He made 101 stops as junior and had a team-high 127 tackles his sophomore year. At Pittsburgh he earned his degree in Information Science in 1990. He and his wife Rayme have two sons, Joseph and Dominic, and a daughter, Emma.

Former Penguins Defensive Coordinator Mike Kolakowski returns to Youngstown State after spending the past two sea-

sons on the coaching staff at Central Michigan. Kolakowski will help Coach Jon

Heacock with the defense while coaching the safeties.

Kolakowski coached at YSU from 2004-06 and was the defensive coordinator and secondary coach

those three seasons. In 2006, the Penguins advanced to the NCAA semifi nals and won the conference championship thanks in large part to his defense. At Central Michigan, Kolakowski coached the safeties and special teams under Head Coach Butch Jones. The Chippewas advanced to the Motor City Bowl each of his two years and won the Mid-American Conference Championship Game in 2007. CMU won 16 games - eight each campaign - in his two seasons with the program, including 13 versus league opponents. In his three seasons at Youngstown State, the defense improved every campaign and was strong when the Penguins fi nished the 2006 season 11-3 reaching the FCS semifi nals. Six members of his 2006 defense, including both corners, earned fi rst-team all-conference accolades. He had All-America selections in each of his fi nal two seasons. During his fi nal year in 2006, Jason Perry was a second-team while Codera Jackson was a second-team selection in 2005 and third-team in 2006. In 2005, YSU was fi rst in interceptions, fi rst in passing-effi ciency defense and second in pass defense in the conference. Also, the Penguins defense made one of the most impressive turnarounds in league history. The defense ranked fi rst in turnover margin at plus-10, fi rst in scoring defense (16.2 points per game), fi rst in total defense (330.4 yards per game) and fourth in rushing defense. The squad ranked seventh in scoring defense nationally and 12th in turnover margin. Jackson helped make one the biggest impacts under Kolakowski. Jackson led the Gateway and ranked ninth in the FCS in interceptions per contest. His six picks were the most by a Guin since 2001. In 2004, senior strong safety Mike Bracken was named a fi rst-team All-Gateway pick while Perry was an honorable-mention selection. A former Division II head coach, Kolakowski originally joined the Youngstown State coaching staff in March 2004 after spending the 2003 season as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Cincinnati. Kolakowski is a seasoned professional with almost 30 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level. He has spent most of his time at the FCS level (13 seasons) and in the MAC (eight years). He was the head coach at California University of Pennsylvania for fi ve seasons from 1997-2001. During his tenure at CUP, Kolakowski’s teams compiled a 21-32 record, including a 5-5 mark in 2001. His teams won at least fi ve games in each of his last three years, an accomplishment not matched within the program since 1961-63. Besides his stop at the Division II and FBS levels, he is no stranger to FCS competition. He was an assistant coach at FCS programs -- Maine (1989), William & Mary (1981, 1984-88), Morehead State (1982-83) and Cornell (1980). A native of Sparta, N.J., Kolakowski was a wide receiver at Ohio Northern. He graduated from ONU in 1979 with a degree in health and physical education. Mike and his wife Kristen have two children, Ashley (24) and Ryan (22).

2009 INFORMATION

2009 INFORMATION


Overview For just the second time since 1990, the Penguins had more passing yards than rushing in 2008. The difference wasn’t much - 50.7 percent to 49.3 - but it has not happened often in the past 19 seasons. The Guins scored 28 or more points in seven of the fi nal 10 games after taking some time to get used to the spread offense and a new quarterback. YSU scored more than 30 points in the fi nal three games.

Quarterback A major question last year, the quarter-back position will be a strength with the return of senior Brandon Summers. Sum-mers took over the starting duties after the Penguins lost the fi rst two games last year and righted the ship immediately. He guided the Guins to wins over Central State and then No. 2-ranked North Dakota State. The next week he set a school re-cord for completions with 32 while throw-ing for 334 yards and three touchdowns in a fi nal-play loss to Liberty. Then Summers was hurt at Southern Utah and missed the following two games. But in the fi nal four weeks of the year, he showed amazing potential. In the fi nal four contests, Summers completed 61 passes for 864 yards with 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Highlighting those numbers was a 347-yard, school-record-tying four-touchdown performance at Illinois State. For the year, he was 122-of-195 for 1,540 yards with 18 touchdown passes and just seven interceptions. His 62.6 comple-tion percentage set a school mark as did his 152.18 passing effi ciency. He became the fi rst Penguin to throw 18 touchdowns in a regular season since Ron Jaworski (1972). While Summers was out, true freshmen Dailyn Campbell and Marc Kanetsky got thrown into the fi re. Campbell showed a bruising running style when he was inserted into the lineup at Missouri State. He started against South-ern Illinois. Campbell had 53 yards rushing on 22 carries while completing 32-of-51 passes for 224 yards and a score. Ka-netsky saw action versus SIU and is team’s holder on placement kicks. Freshmen Kurt Hess and Gannon Hu-lea get set to join the program this fall.

Backfi eld The tailback and fullback spots saw some changes last year in the spread at-tack, and, entering this year there is a great abundance of numbers and talent. A thin area last year the fullback spot, has some solid numbers and size this year. Kyle Banna was at the top of the depth chart before suffering a season-ending knee injury against Liberty. He returns in 2009 and YSU returns redshirt freshman Gary Thornton. Joining the program to contribute are Dan Banna, Jim Bowersock and talented freshman Rob Stupar. The tailback position is loaded with soph-omore Kamryn Keys and seniors Jabari Scott, Dana Brown and Kevin Smith all returning. Keys burst on the scene with a freshman school-record 804 yards rush-ing, including four 100-yard performances. He was named the Missouri Valley Football Conference Freshman of the Year for his efforts. Scott started the year strong with 427 yards on 78 carries in the fi rst seven games. But an injury limited him to just four offensive snaps in the fi nal fi ve games. Brown came on strong at the end of the year and fi nished his fi rst season with the

program with 259 yards on 73 attempts. Smith, who was named to the conference’s all-newcomer team in 2007, sat out last year with a hamstring injury. In 2007, he rushed for 524 yards on a team-high 123 carries and scored fi ve touchdowns. Two highly-sought after all-state selections in freshmen Jamaine Cook and Torrain Pace have joined the program. Also back are redshirts Devanuel Samuel and Paris Wicks Jr.

Wide Receivers Like the tailbacks, the wide receivers re-turn a lot of numbers. This spot’s growing importance in the spread showed last year as three players caught 30-or-more passes. Junior Dominique Barnes led the team in receptions last season while senior Don-ald Jones was the team leader in yards and touchdowns. Barnes and Jones combined for 69 receptions, 878 yards and 10 touch-downs. Jones fi nished with seven touchdown receptions, the most by a Penguin in the regu-lar season since 1998. Jones and Barnes also became the fi rst tandem of receivers to each have 100 yards in a game since 1987. Both fi nished with more than 100 at Illinois State in November. Two players who will see increased action are senior Aaron Pitts and sophomore Josh Lee. Pitts caught nine passes for 101 yards while Lee bounced back and forth between receiver and tailback. He caught one pass and had 13 carries for 118 yards. Others who will be counted on to step in are Ely Ducatel, who missed the season with a knee injury, and Dionte Snow, who played primarily on special teams. Other wide receivers returning are Ty Campana, Armani Johnson, Troy Rice and Zeke Sosanya. Freshman Jelani Ber-assa joins the program this fall.

Offensive Line The offensive line loses three starters with the departures of Brad Samsa, Tyler Booth and Nhemie Theodore. Starters returning from last year are Eric Rodemoyer (10 games), Bobby Coates (nine), Justin Rechichar (fi ve) and Greg Sazdanoff (one). Rodemoyer started eight games at right guard and two at right tackle after transfer-ring from West Virginia. Coates started nine at right tackle, Rechichar started twice at

guard and the fi nal three games at center. Senior Brian Mellott started nine games in 2007 on the line and should step in at guard in 2009. He rotated between tight end and the line on occasion last year. The positions up front are still to be deter-mined. There is a good group of players with experience, but a drop exists beyond that group. However, Mellott is the only senior and could move into the center spot. The group of redshirts from 2008 include Bill Dugan, Andy Kowicki and D.J. Main. Other returning players who saw action are Rob Fernback, Tyler Figueroa and Kyle Brown. Ohio transfer Marcus O’Hara joins the program while Chris Gammon, who has played on both the offensive and defensive lines at YSU, is back on offense. Freshman Brandon White joins the program and brings great size at 6-5, 310 pounds. The tight end spot will see a big change. Veteran Derrick Bush is gone after starting for four seasons, and the returnees on the squad at the position are Andy Colegrove and Da-vid Rogers. Rogers moved to tight end after joining the program as a quarterback. Cole-grove saw snaps when Bush missed time with an injury but was primarily a blocker. Joining the program are two talented freshmen in Carson Sharbaugh and Con-ner Seeman. Both players are taller than 6-4 and could provide big targets immediately.

Overview The defensive unit changed at the very top with Head Coach Jon Heacock taking over the coordinator duties. The last time Heacock called the plays on defense was in 2000, the year prior to taking over as the Guins head coach. The defense brings back a wealth of tal-ent and experience. Overall, 23 letterwin-ners return from last year’s unit while only seven depart. YSU started just one senior in the season fi nale at Western Illinois and on two other occasions during the year. The most seniors YSU started in a single game was three.

Defensive Line The front four was hampered by injuries, but that was one spot that benefi ted from a youthful group. True freshmen Stephen Meadows and Joe Marshall started dur-ing the year and the position lost just one player, Bobby Lykes-Knight. Senior preseason All-American Mychal Savage suffered a shoulder injury in the opener and missed the rest of the season. In week two, defensive end Luke Mate-lan was lost for the year with a knee injury and tackle Torrance Nicholson broke his foot kocking him out of the lineup for six games. The player who made the biggest im-pact was junior college transfer defensive lineman Crispin Fernandez. Fernandez was the only player on defense to start all 12 games, playing tackle and end. He earned second-team all-league honors fi nishing with 45 tackles a team-best 6.5 tackles for losses and four sacks. With the veterans sidelined and Fernan-dez entrenched as a starter, players like Joel Younkins, Meadows, Marshall, Jai-mie Frasure, Josh Myers, Chris Gam-mon and Roger Gillum were forced to step up. Of the 12 players who started on the line, 10 return for 2009. Nicholson missed six games before returning to play the fi nal four games to stabilize the unit and move Fernandez to the defensive end spot. Nich-olson had 32 tackles in just six games played. Savage, who has 116 career tackles and eight sacks, returns this year after tearing his rotator cuff. With the injuries, freshman Mike Wil-

liams, a linebacker, was thrust into action on the line, but rush end Noah Taylor was able to redshirt and will see his chance this fall. Also sitting out last year were Chase Lemke and Obinna Ekweremuba as red-shirts. Joining the team this fall are Theo Barnes and Kyle Sirl.

Linebackers Linebacker was another area hit hard by injuries and overall lack of experience. Five fi rst-time starters appeared at the position and of the 36 possible starts among the three positions, 30 were by un-derclassmen. Five backers fi nished with 43 tackles each while redshirt freshman John Sas-son had 40. Two of the three players who started the last three games Na’eem Outler at SAM and Deonta Tate return. Tate was a true freshman while Outler was in his second year with the program. All had 43 tackles. Converted tailback Jordan Edwardsalso had 43 stops and was in the starting lineup in six of the fi rst seven games. Sas-son made three starts in his fi rst season. Senior Draye Ersery was forced to play defensive end late last year but could have a breakout campaign in 2009. David

Rach and Michael Kreat-soulas along with redshirt Bryan Whitaker return. Newcomer Taylor Hill played with the top unit throughout spring drills while local standouts Sylvestry Gibbs and Kyle Stadelmy-er join the program this fall.

Secondary Last year’s secondary had experience and depth to start the season, but that took a hit when Jarvis Rich-ards suffered a career-end-ing knee injury versus North Dakota State. Senior Lenny Wicks started the fi rst 10 games before redshirt freshman Randy Louis stared the fi -nal two. De’Angelo Wilson re-placed Richards in the lineup and led the team with fi ve interceptions. Wicks had 54 tackles to lead the corners in that category. YSU added Averick Walker while redshirt freshman Bryan Gaiters will join the mix. At the safety spots, three starters in Brandian Ross, Andre Elliott and Nick Gooden all return. Ross started 11 games, Elliott made 10 starts and Gooden had fi ve appearances in the starting lineup last year. On two occasions all three players started the same game (Southern Utah and Missouri State). Making the future bright at the posi-tion is that all three are juniors. Ross will also play cornerback in the fall after getting reps in the spring and late last season. Ross fi nished as the team’s leading tack-ler with 98 stops while Elliott had the second most with 89. Gooden chipped in 30 as well. Redshirts David Fleming and Vinnie Patel-la will also be in the hunt for playing time this fall. Other players from within the program who could contribute include Adam House, Gary Pezzuolo, Scott Sentner, Jay Wiez-biski, Derek Harris and Branden Sibley. Speedster Jerome Swinton, who previ-ouly signed with West Virginia, and Dom Rich are newcomers to the secondary.

Special Teams The Penguins return kickoff specialist Stephen Blose and punter Ben Nowicki,

but four-year placekicker Brian Palmer needs to be replaced. Blose has handled kickoff duties the past two years and his strong leg will give him a shot to move into the placekicker role. Nowicki improved his yards-per-kick average by four yards from the 2007 season to 2008. He aver-aged 41.1 yards per kick, placing 13 inside the oppo-sition’s 20-yard line. He also had nine punts of 50 yards or more. Junior Erik Johnson stepped in when Nowicki suffered an injury late in the season to have a solid per-formance at punter. He punt-ed nine times last season. Freshman Nick Liste could push for time at the placekicker position.

Reserve quarterback Marc Kanetsky re-turns to handle the holder duties while long snapper Nate Schkurko is back. Punt returner De’Angelo Wilson, who re-turned 18 punts for 216 yards last year, must be replaced. On kickoff returns, Dominique Barnes returns after leading the team with 399 yards on 17 returns in 2008.

COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT-ATHLETESProspective Student-AthleteA prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have offi cially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Youngstown State booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any fi nancial assistance or benefi ts that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects.

Guidelines and Reminders for BoostersA BOOSTER MAY NOT: contact the prospect, prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate or recruit the prospect; expend funds to entertain or provide transportation for a prospective student-athlete, the prospect’s family or friends; become directly or indirectly involved in mak-ing arrangements for the prospect, or the prospect’s relative or friends to receive money or fi nancial aid of any kind; or contact a prospective student-athlete through letter writing, e-mail, telephone calling or other forms of communication.

Quarterback Brandon Summers tied a school record with four passing touchdowns and YSU rolled up 544 yards of total offense, but Illinois State found a way to score more points to earn a 54-44 victory over the Guins at Hancock Stadium. Summers had two fi rst-half scoring throws and added two more in the fourth quarter. His third of the day was a 28-yarder to Der-rick Bush and gave the Guins a momentary 37-33 lead. But Illinois State’s Chris Garrett returned the ensuing kickoff 93 yards for a score 14 seconds later and the Guins never led again.

Although the season had many miraculous moments, the big-gest turning point of the year and perhaps the program’s history came at Georgia Southern on Nov. 2. Both the Penguins and Eagles entered the game with 4-3 re-cords with YSU losers of two straight. The loser was out of playoff contention while the winners’ postseason hopes continued. YSU jumped out to a 12-3 halftime lead on GSU. Ray Isaac scored on a 33-yard touchdown run to put the Penguins in front 19-3 then in the fourth, YSU had to hang on. Georgia Southern, winners of 53 of its last 55 home games and the two-time defending champion, pulled within 19-17 with 5:40 but failed to tie the game missing the two-point conversion. YSU’s offense kept the ball the fi nal 5:40 of the game converting two fourth-down plays to earn the victory. YSU ended the regular season with wins over James Madison, Slippery Rock and Towson State to make the playoffs. In the fi rst round against Villanova, YSU trailed 16-7 before Leo Hawkins scored on a one-yard touchdown run in the third cutting the defi cit to 16-14. In the fi nal two minutes, Youngstown State faced a 4th-and-11 play when Ray Isaacs’ pass was defl ected and then caught by Herb Williams for 41 yards. Jeff Wilkins kicked a 33-yard fi eld goal with six seconds left to send the Penguins into the quarterfi nals at top-seeded Nevada-Reno. At Nevada, YSU jumped out to a 17-3 lead and led 30-20 in the fourth quarter to set up an amazing fi nish. With just over seven minutes remaining, the Wolfpack scored to cut the defi cit to four. After YSU mishandled a punt for a safety, Nevada stormed down the fi eld to set up a 27-yard fi eld goal attempt by Rick Schwend-inger, but with one second left, his kick sailed wide left. In the semifi nals, YSU’s defense was the star scoring on a fumble return, intercepting six passes and holding Samford to minus-4 yards rushing in a 10-0 win. Chris Vecchione returned a fumble six yards for a touchdown in the fi rst and Wilkins kicked a 28-yard fi eld goal in the third for the games’ only points. Tamron Smith had 46 carries for 246 yards in the victory. YSU returned to the site of its biggest victory of the season playing Marshall in Statesboro, Ga. Again, the Penguins pulled out a thrilling come-from-behind win, 25-17, scoring 19 fourth-quarter points. Marshall led 17-6 entering the fourth but an Isaac to Williams 33-yard touchdown pass and a three-yard touchdown run by Ryan Wood gave YSU an 18-17 lead. Smith added a fi ve-yard touchdown rush to give the Penguins a 25-17 lead. A desperation pass by Marshall was knocked down in the end zone on the fi nal play.

Youngstown State’s reward for beating Central Florida, Georgia Southern and Idaho at home in the playoffs was to play at a hostile environment for the National Championship against Marshall in Huntington, W. Va., for the second straight year. But the one thing the Penguins had on their side was the re-venge factor. In 1992, YSU played at Marshall and came up just short losing 31-28. Marshall scored the fi rst 28 points of that game before the Penguins rallied for the next 28. But a fi eld goal late in the fourth quarter dashed YSU’s 1992 title hopes setting the stage for a memorable 1993 championship game. This time, the Penguins would come out on top beating the Thundering Herd 17-5 on its home fi eld. YSU jumped out quickly scoring 17 fi rst-quarter points. Darnell Clark ran 50 yards for a touchdown on the third play from scrim-mage and Tamron Smith scored on a fi ve-yard run just over two minutes later. Later, Jeff Wilkins kicked a 19-yard fi eld goal and from there it was the defense that was impressive. Marshall moved into YSU territory only once in the fi rst half before getting on the board on a 27-yard fi eld goal late in the third. In the fourth, the Thundering Herd threatened driving deep into YSU territory. Marshall had a fi rst down at the three, but was stopped on three straight plays. On fourth-and-goal from the one, the defense stuffed Chris Parker to take over with 5:14 left. YSU took a safety later in the drive and with 1:40 left Vance Mayes’ interception sealed the Penguins second national title. Youngstown State rolled through the fi rst three rounds of the playoffs winning by an average margin of 22 points. YSU beat Central Florida 56-30 in the fi rst round, Georgia Southern 34-14 in the quarterfi nals and Idaho 35-16 in the semifi nals. Against Central Florida, YSU scored 35 fi rst-half points en route to the win. Against Georgia Southern, the Penguins jumped out with a fl urry again to lead 27-0. In the semifi nals against Idaho, Youngstown State trailed 16-14 at halftime in a snow storm. But in the third quarter Smith scored on an eight-yard touchdown run and Mark Brungard tossed a 39-yard touchdown pass to Don Zwisler to extend the lead to 12. Clark added a 15-yard scoring run in the fourth for the fi nal outcome. In the regular season, the Penguins opened with a win at West-ern Michigan before losing at Stephen F. Austin. After that, YSU picked up wins over Morgan State, Eastern Kentucky, Delaware State, Liberty, Samford, Buffalo and Indiana State. The Penguins’ seven-game win streak was snapped when they lost 13-10 at Illinois State but rebounded to close out the regular season shut-ting out Akron 19-0.

Coach Jim Tressel’s 1994 team was arguably his best. The Penguins opened the year with a tie and then rolled to 14 straight victories while wrapping up the school’s second straight national championship beating Boise State 28-14 in the title game. After tying Stephen F. Austin in the opener, YSU went on to set a school record for victories in a year and set the mark for the school’s best winning streak in fi nishing the entire campaign without a loss. In 1994, YSU averaged 27.9 points and held their opponents to 10.1 points per contest. The Penguins won eight games by more than 20 points and scored more than 27 points nine times. Eight times, YSU’s opponents failed to score double fi gures. The year culminated with a 28-14 win over Boise State in the National Championship Game in Huntington, W. Va. By beating the Broncos, YSU became just the second school in Division I-AA history to repeat as National Champions. Against Boise State, YSU trailed 7-0 before scoring the next 28 points. The Broncos added a score late but the day, much like the season, belonged to YSU. The Penguins outgained the Broncos 422 to 225 and won the time of possession battle by eight minutes. In the second quarter of the title game, Mark Brungard scored on a two-yard run and scored on a 38-yard scamper just before the half. In the third, Brungard capped a 91-yard scoring drive with a fi ve-yard touchdown toss to Don Zwisler. In the fourth, Shawn Patton scored on a 55-yard run with seven minutes remaining. The game was a microcosm of YSU’s season -- slow start followed by a tremendous fi nish. The year began with a fi nal-play fi eld goal to tie Stephen F. Austin, and next came 14 straight victories. YSU won nine home games and in four away contests allowed just 18 points. In the regular season, YSU won six straight home contests over Eastern Kentucky, Slippery Rock, McNeese State, North Alabama, Kent State and Akron. The Penguins concluded the regular season with road victories over Buffalo, UMass and Indiana State.

Quarterback Demond Tidwell tossed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Renauld Ray with 8:08 remaining as the Penguins held on for 10-9 victory over McNeese State on Dec. 20, 1997 in Chattanooga, Tenn. YSU picked up the game’s only turnover as Jeff Fackrell intercepted a Blake Prejean pass at the YSU 35-yard line with 12:02 remaining. The Penguins marched 66 yards in nine plays to score the game’s lone touchdown when Ray caught a 10-yard pass from Tidwell. After the score, YSU’s defense stopped the Cowboys on two consecutive drives. The Guins forced a three-and-out on the ensuing series after MSU had picked up nine yards on fi rst down. YSU milked 5:07 off the clock with a nine-play drive that went for just 13 yards giving the ball back to McNeese with just 1:16 left. On the fi nal drive, defensive tackle Harry Deligianis sacked Prejean on consecutive snaps and the fi nal play was an incomplete pass.

The Penguins travelled the long road on the way to winning their fourth national championship in seven years. In the playoffs, YSU had to win two of three games on the road to get to the title game and those contests took the Penguins across the country. That journey ended in Chattanooga, Tenn., in the National Championship Game against McNeese State. In a tight contest, the Penguins trailed 9-3 entering the fourth quarter before the Cowboys committed a costly mistake. With 12:02 remaining, Jeff Fackrell intercepted a Blake Prejean pass at the YSU 35 to end a Cowboy threat and keep the Penguins within 9-3. Just over four minutes later, Demond Tidwell threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Renauld Ray and after Mark Griffi th’s extra point YSU led 10-9. The Cowboys had two fi nal chances only to be stopped each time by the Penguin defense. The YSU offense came up big with a clock-consuming drive that took 5:07 of the fi nal 6:23 off the clock. McNeese took over with just 1:16 remaining and at its own 22-yard line. Four plays later, two of which were sacks by Harry Deligianis, the game was over. In the contest, the teams had remarkably similar statisics, YSU had 12 fi rst downs and 200 total yards while McNeese had 11 fi rst downs and 201 yards of total offense. Youngstown State was seeded eighth in the playoffs following a 9-2 regular season. In the fi rst round, the Penguins opened with a 28-13 win over Hampton. Then the travels began. In the quarterfi nals, YSU trailed 21-0 at top-seed Villanova before mounting a furious rally. At halftime, the Penguins were behind 28-14 before scoring 23 straight points building a 37-28 lead. The Wildcats scored late and outyarded the Penguins 459-286. YSU’s postseason road trip continued in Spokane, Wash., against Eastern Washington. The Penguins led 17-0 on an Adrian Brown touchdown run, a Mike Stanec fumble return and a Mark Griffi th fi eld goal. But the Eagles responded with 14 third-quarter points to trim the defi cit to three. In the fourth, EWU was deep in YSU territory before Jake Anderson intercepted a pass ending the threat, and Brown added a touchdown for a 25-14 victory. In the regular season, YSU began the season by winning its fi rst six games -- over Slippery Rock, Kent State, at Boston, Hofstra, at Indiana State and over Buffalo -- before losing at Northern Iowa. YSU rebounded with wins over Illinois State, Southern Illinois and Southwest Missouri State before losing the regular-season fi nale 24-21 to Western Illinois. YSU led 21-10 before the Leathernecks scored in the third and in the fourth to win the Gateway title.

Best ComebacksLargest Defi cits Overcome to Win or Tie21 points • Sept. 25, 1999Youngstown State 28, Western Illinois 24 At Stambaugh Stadium, YSU rallied from a 21-0 second-quarter defi cit before tying the game up in the third. The Penguins took a 28-24 lead on a seven-yard run by quarterback Jeff Ryan, but had to hold the Leathernecks on four tries inside the fi ve-yard line in the fi nal minute, including twice from the one, to preserve the come-from-behind win.

21 points • Nov. 6, 1997Youngstown State 37, Villanova 34 The Guins trailed 21-0 in the second quarter before closing within a touchdown at halftime on an Adrian Brown run and a block-punt return for a touchdown by Willis Marshall. Villanova led 28-14 before the Penguins scored 23 consecutive points to pull ahead 37-28 on a Jake Andreadis run in the fourth. Villanova added a late score to get close.

21 points • Nov. 11, 1972Youngstown State 28, Central Michigan 28 The Penguins trailed 28-7 at halftime, but Ron Jaworski threw three second-half touchdown passes -- a 65-yarder to Willie Packman; a 67- and 18-yarder to Bob Ferranti. The 67-yard touchdown to Ferranti came on the third play of the fourth quarter. CMU missed two fi eld goals and was stopped four times on the YSU one-yard line while a fake fi eld-goal pass attempt by Fred Bruderly highlighted a wild fourth.

Your Success is Our StoryYou have a story. Everyone does. It’s about where you come from,

what you think about, what you value. It’s about your friends, your family, your language, your music, your school. It’s about your particular skills and interests, what you’ve learned so far in life, how you relate to the world and other people. Right now, you’re about to start a whole new chapter in your story. In the book called My Life—by you, of course—the theme of this chapter is “Where do I want to go, and who do I want to become?”

You have options you want to explore, places you want to see, things you want to do, ideas you want to propose, a career you want to pursue. That’s one reason you’re planning to go to college—to get going on that next chapter of your life, to become who you want to be.

Colleges and universities have stories, too. How they started, what traditions they maintain, the way they look, the students they serve, the things they off er academically and socially, the role they play in their communities, and the role they play in the generation of new knowledge.

Youngstown State University’s story is all those things. YSU is about outstanding academic quality, diversity of people and programs, and broad access to opportunity. But it is, overall, a culmination of the stories of all the students who in the past 100 years graduated and went on to make a diff erence. Our students - while they are here and after they graduate - are what YSU is all about.

Campus Overview• Opened in 1908, YSU celebrated its centennial during the 2007-

08 academic year. As part of the celebration, the university launched a $44 million campaign for campus improvements.

When David C. Sweet became Youngstown State University’s sixth president in July 2000, he mapped out a course that included three priorities: enrollment, partnerships, and diversity. Now in his tenth year, the University has made great strides in all three areas. Enrollment has jumped more than 16 percent since fall 2000 and is now at its highest level in 14 years. Over the last nine years, the number of minority students has increased more than 60 percent. And the

University has initiated partnerships with the city of Youngstown, the Youngstown city school district, business, government, and non-profi t organizations throughout the region. The University has also expanded academic programs at the associate, baccalaureate and graduate levels, including a new doctor of physical therapy degree. YSU reorganized its academic structure to better address the growing importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics at the state and national levels. As a result, two new colleges were created: the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In partnership with the Youngstown city schools, the University opened Youngstown Early College, a high school on the YSU campus aimed at helping city school students earn college credit and a high school degree at the same time. YSU has worked in collaboration with the city of Youngstown to complete a nationally-recognized urban development plan, Youngstown 2010, in conjunction with the Centennial Campus Master Plan. In addition, the University has been a leader in the development of Wick Neighbors, a non-profi t community organization that is spearheading a major redevelopment project on the 70 acres of land that comprises the Smoky Hollow neighborhood. Since 2000, the University has opened the $22 million University Courtyard Apartments and the $12.1 million Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center. The campus has recently completed the YSU Centennial Capital Campaign that has raised more than $50

million, exceeding the original goal by 14 percent. It is the largest fund-raising eff ort in YSU’s history. A centerpiece of the campaign is the construction of the new $34.3 million building for the Williamson College of Business Administration, which is now underway. In partnership with federal, state and local agencies, major improvements

have been made to corridors leading to the campus. Prior to coming to YSU, Dr. Sweet was dean and professor of the Levin College of Urban Aff airs at Cleveland State from 1978 to 2000. His

leadership resulted in national recognition for the college’s graduate studies and its city’s management/urban policy program. Prior to joining Cleveland State, Dr. Sweet held a number of state cabinet posts, including the director of the State Department of Development. He also served as commissioner of the Ohio Public

operates in substantial conformity with the operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership.

More than half of the current 300-plus student-athletes have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher while nine teams have an overall GPA of at least 3.0. YSU’s Academic Progress Rate is well above the national average for public institutions, and its 93 percent graduation rate is at an all-time high.

Eleven student-athletes have captured Academic All-America accolades while a total of 46 have been named to Academic All-District teams.

YSU has won 13 Horizon League titles, and it won back-to-back Gateway Football Conference (now the Missouri Valley Football Conference) championships in 2005 and 2006. Most recently, YSU added the 2009 Horizon League Women’s Outdoor Track and Field and Women’s Golf Championships to its trophy cases.

In Strollo’s role as the Executive Director of the Penguin Club, the organization has increased athletic endowed scholarship contributions annually. Annual events keep improving every year, and the growth of the Football Alumni Club has had a positive impact on the department.

Strollo returned to his alma mater in 1996 as athletic business manager. In March 2000, he was named the school’s Associate Executive Director of Athletics. In his short time in that capacity, he helped spearhead the transition into the Horizon League.

He has strong ties to the local community and to the athletic department. He grew up in nearby Austintown and attended Fitch High School. He played football for YSU from 1988 through 1991 for Coach Jim Tressel and was named captain of the fi rst Division I-AA National Championship team in 1991. He earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Youngstown State in June, 1993.

Ron and his wife, Nicole, reside in Austintown with their two children, Ryan and Rachel. Nicole is a former YSU student-athlete who competed in track and cross country from 1989 through 1993.

Emily HaynamAssistant A.D.

Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Ron Strollo, a former Penguin student-athlete, has worked diligently to ensure that today’s student-athletes have the support system in place to succeed not only at Youngstown State, but also in their future.

Now in his ninth year as Athletics Director and 14th as a member of the department, his vision for successful broad-based programs and providing student-athletes tools to succeed on and off the playing fi elds is coming to fruition.

Strollo has concentrated his priorities on facility improvements; full compliance of NCAA regulations; fi scal management and budgetary maintenance; streamlining department organization; increasing visibility and fundraising eff orts of the Penguin Club; and enhancing the overall experience and competitiveness of student-athletes and programs.

Outside of YSU, Strollo is also very involved on the regional and national level serving on several prominent committees. He is in his fi rst of four years on the NCAA Division I Football Championship Selection Committee; is on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee; serves as the Central Region Chair of the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee; is on the Executive Committee of the FCS Athletic Directors Association; and serves as the Chair of the Horizon League Executive Committee.

During his tenure, Strollo has placed a priority on the construction and enhancements of athletic venues. Currently, he is leading the fi nal phases of a capital campaign to construct the Watson and Tressel Training Site, a $10 million indoor athletic practice facility which will include an indoor track and football practice fi eld.

The Beeghly Center has undergone more than $4 million in renovations. In the past year, Youngstown State acquired the 2009 Men’s Final Four basketball hoops, new strobe lighting was installed and the volleyball and men’s basketball locker rooms were refurbished. Last year, a new Dom Rosselli Court was installed and a weight room was built for the men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and swimming and diving programs.

Within the past two years in Stambaugh Stadium, offi ce space in the athletic marketing and ticket offi ces and football suite received an

enhancement, the weight room and athletic training offi ces were renovated, and upgrades were made to the baseball, soccer and softball locker rooms. Other recent upgrades include new chair-back seating (2009), a new south-stadium scoreboard (2009), a concourse-level elevator (2005), a scoreboard and a Mitsubishi DiamondVision videoboard (2004) and a state-of-the-art

SprinTurf playing surface (2002).He has also secured agreements for Eastwood Field, the home of the

Cleveland Indians’ Class-A affi liate, and Cene Park to be the baseball team’s

home fi elds and McCune Park to serve as the softball team’s home venue.Thanks to the benevolence of the Andrews Trust and the priority

Strollo places on academics, the academic counseling center underwent a signifi cant renovation and expansion and continues to receive technology upgrades.

In the past eight years, the department, which has been recognized as a national leader for its graduation rates, has had many successes on and off the playing fi eld.

Under his leadership, Youngstown State earned full NCAA certifi cation

in 2007. This review of governance and commitment to rules, academic integrity, and equity and student-athlete well-being showed YSU athletics

Penguin Nickname LegendPrior to 1933, Youngstown College had been referred to as "Y" College, YoCo, Wye Collegians and

many times, simply the "Locals."There are two accounts of how the Penguin nickname came to be, and interestingly enough they

come from the same evening on Jan. 30, 1933. But throughout the season prior to that contest, many of the members of the 1932-33 varsity men’s basketball team and their friends on campus spent idle moments in the cafeteria discussing suitable new names for our school sports combines, basketball, and fencing that year.

The names considered covered every conceivable spectrum of animals, birds, and things associated with the steel city, but none seemed to fi t. There was always someone who pointed out an inadequacy of some sort.

The fi rst account states that on a cold, freezing night at a men’s basketball game at West Liberty State Teachers College, in West Liberty, W. Va., a spectator watching the members of the team stomp on the fl oor and swing their arms made them look like Penguins and without a nickname, the fans took a liking to the word.

The second account comes from the trip to West Liberty in which the road that evening had been hit by a snowfall between one and two feet deep. The passengers in two of the cars found it necessary on several occasions to get out and help push their vehicles out of snow drifts or road area with snow ruts, diffi cult to drive through.

During the trip, Bennett Kunicki recalls, the discussion of a nickname for the school was the hot topic of conversation. In Kunicki’s car, the name Penguins came up and was well received by everyone in the car. Upon arrival at the West Liberty gym, the name was mentioned to the members of the team, who thought it was perfect.

By the end of that school year, the nickname was unanimously accepted by the student body without the necessity of a formal polling vote. Plans were then made to introduce the new name during the 1933-34 basketball season.

The nickname Penguins was formally introduced to the school in the "Jambar" (Vol. IV, No. 3) at the beginning of the 1933-34 basketball season. Page

three of that issue was set up to cover YSU’s fi rst game to introduce the members of that season’s team and to give the schedule for the season. The date of the "Jambar" issue was Dec. 15, 1933. Within the next fi ve or six weeks, Penguins became our newly accepted

nickname both in the Jambar and on the sports pages of the then two local newspapers.The name was introduced after the fi rst game with Slippery Rock in the Dec. 15, 1933 issue of the

"Jambar". The Youngstown Telegram fi rst used the nickname in a headline on Dec. 29, 1933 while The

Vindicator fi rst acknowledged the nickname in its Jan. 27, 1934 edition.

The City of Youngstown was incorporated in 1867 and named for John Young, who purchased approximately 15,000 acres (the entire township) for slightly more than $16,000 in 1797 from the United States Government.

With its setting in the Mahoning Valley along the Mahoning River, Youngstown quickly grew to become a thriving city in the 1920s as part of the industrial belt that stretched from Massachusetts to the Mississippi River. The iron and steel industry created a strong blue-collar work ethic in the city and surrounding areas that is still very evident, even decades after the closing of the mills. At its peak, Youngstown was the third-largest steel producing city in the country.

Today, with a new citywide revitalization plan coordinated between the city, Youngstown State University and nearly 200 volunteers, neighborhood organizations and businesses, a new vision for Youngstown exists. The award-winning plan, Youngstown 2010, calls for a more diverse and vibrant economy founded on the current strengths with the city and region, such as YSU, the health care sector and the arts community.

Wick Neighbors, Inc., was created from a broad-based group of leaders from YSU and religious and cultural institutions along Wick Avenue, which borders campus to the East. Its mission is to redevelop the historically rich Smoky Hollow neighborhood just off campus and promote a place for creative living and working in the city.

Youngstown is very well-known for its dedication to the arts. The Butler Institute of American Art, located within the confi nes of campus, is one of the most unique and respected museums

in the nation. There are also two auditoriums in the city, several museums and the Covelli Centre, a modern arena opened in 2005.

Youngstown is also a hotbed for football. In addition to YSU’s four national championships in the 1990s, many coaches have ties to the city. Ohio State head

coach Jim Tressel is formerly the head coach at YSU, and current college head coaches Bo Pelini (Nebraska), Bob Stoops (Oklahoma), Mike Stoops (Arizona) and Mark Mangino (Kansas) are all from the Valley.

The amount of local media coverage dedicated to Youngstown State athletics ranks near the top in both the Horizon League and the Missouri Valley Football Conference. As the main sports attraction in the Mahoning Valley, the Penguins receive daily coverage from fi ve television stations, two major newspapers and several radio stations. Regional media coverage extends to Akron, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Missouri Valley Football Conference contests are frequently featured as nationally televised games of the week, and the Horizon League has a partnership with ESPN and its stations to broadcast men’s and women’s basketball games. Football and basketball games are broadcast locally on tape-delay.

Live Internet CoverageIn addition to coverage provided by traditional

media, the successes of Youngstown State student-athletes are regularly broadcast live across the world over the Internet.

The Horizon League is a recognized leader in video streaming through the Horizon League Network (HLN) and produced more than 300 free, live events during the 2008-09 academic year. In addition to live games, HLN includes highlight vignettes of all-19 League championships, weekly highlight videos during the men’s and women’s basketball season and other special programming covering Horizon League institutions, coaches and student-athletes. Nearly every one of YSU’s home men’s and women’s basketball games and all league road contests are broadcast over the HLN. Video of several home volleyball and soccer games and audio of several baseball and softball games are streamed live over the Internet.

Broadcasts of Youngstown State’s home football games are also available over the Internet via paid subscriptions.
