2010 Butler Football
Wide receiver Zach Watkins led the Pioneer Football League and set a Butler record with 78 receptions in 2009.
Bulldogs Seek Repeat Performance The first sign that 2009 might be something special for Butler’s football program came in the fourth week of the season at Morehead State. Trailing 21-0 in that game, the Bulldogs rallied for a 28-21 victory in overtime in a stadium where they were previously 0-6. A week later, Butler defeated Pioneer Football League preseason favorite San Diego with a field goal on the final play of the game! The Bulldogs, who were picked fifth in the league preseason poll, went on to capture a PFL co-championship and advance to the Gridiron Classic, where they defeated Central Connecticut State for their first postseason victory. Butler’s final 11-1 record was the best in school history! This season, fueled by last year’s success, 17 returning starters and a brand new 5,647-seat stadium, the Bulldogs are eager to make a repeat run. But head coach Jeff Voris, entering his fifth season with the Bulldogs, is cautious in his assessment. “Our guys understand that if the ball bounces a different way on three or four plays, we’re in the middle of the pack. It’s that fragile in our league from top to bottom,” said Voris. “We know how strong the competition is that we’re up against, and we realize that to reach the level we did last year, we’re going to have to work even harder and be even better. I think our guys understand the importance of a good foundation.” Voris can call on nine returning starters on offense and eight on defense, plus his 2
top punter and placekicker. Included among the returning regulars are All-PFL performers Donnie Gilmore (OL), Scott Gray (RB), Zach Watkins (WR), Mike Staniewicz (OL), Nick Caldicott (LB), Grant Hunter (DL), Andrew Huck (QB), Mark Giacomantonio (DB), Michael Wilson (P) and Jordan Koopman (RS). Gilmore, Gray and Watkins were first team picks. “We feel good about the players we have returning and our overall experience and depth,” noted Voris. “But it’s still going to come down to how we prepare for games and how we do things. Offense The Bulldogs led the PFL in total offense and finished second in the league in scoring offense in 2009. And most of the players who helped Butler compile that lofty standing are back this season. The most interesting competition could be at quarterback, where Voris has two of the top three single season passers in Butler history! Huck, who threw for 2,454 yards and 21 touchdowns last season, is joined by senior Matt Kobli, who passed for 2,518 yards and 23 touchdowns in 2008. Kobli sat out a university-imposed suspension last season, before returning this year. Huck ranked second in the PFL in total offense (243.4) last season; Kobli led the league in total offense (273.7) the previous year. “Andrew is the starter,” said Voris of his junior signal caller. “Matt is unique in that he’s a really, really good quarterback, but
because of his size and athletic ability, he can help us in a lot of different areas. Our focus has been on how we can get him on the field at different times and at different spots, while still training him as a quarterback.” “We definitely feel really good about our quarterback position,” added the Butler coach. Both quarterbacks will be throwing to a record-setting wide receiver. Watkins led the PFL with a Butler record 78 catches last season, including 10 touchdown receptions. He also had the fourth-highest single season total for receiving yards (918) in Butler history. Also back are veteran receivers Eddie McHale, Jordan Koopman and Jeff Larsen, plus tight ends Carter Walley, Ryan Webb and Bill Bork. McHale was the team’s thirdleading receiver last year with 38 catches for 493 yards, while Koopman had 24 receptions for 258 yards. The backfield is well-stocked with Gray, who finished third in the PFL in rushing (72.3) in 2009, and junior Ryan Hitchcock both returning. The two combined for more than 1,200 yards last year, while helping Butler rank second in the league in rushing offense. Sophomore Steven Depositar, Butler’s fourth-leading rusher last year, also returns, while several newcomers could break into the rotation. “This is the best depth we’ve had in the backfield since I’ve been here,” said Voris. “Again, we have to find ways to get them all on the field.”
Defensive end Grant Hunter finished 11th in the NCAA Division I FCS in quarterback sacks, despite missing three games with injury.
2010 Butler Football
Quarterback Andrew Huck compiled the third-highest passing total in Butler history last seasaon.
There’s also depth in the offensive line, which features returning starters Gilmore, Staniewicz, Rob Hobson and Pete Mattingly. Gilmore has started 34 consecutive games, while Staniewicz has started 33 of the last 34. Senior Ryan Secrist, who was a starter two years ago before missing last season with injury, is back as are most of last season’s top reserves. Defense Butler’s opportunistic defense led the PFL in turnover margin (+7/0.58) last season, and the Bulldogs were the fourth-toughest team in the league to score against (19.1). Voris does have to replace two of his top four tacklers, but the bulk of the defensive unit returns. The Bulldogs’ defensive strength starts up front with a veteran defensive line led by Hunter. A second team Academic AllAmerican, Hunter finished second in the PFL and 11th in the NCAA Division I FCS in quarterback sacks, despite missing three games will illness, and he led the team in tackles for loss for the second straight year. The junior end will be joined by seven defensive linemen who each saw action in at least 10 games last season. Senior Rob Cosler, junior Jeff Poss and sophomore Jace Tennant each played in all 12 games last season at defensive end, while junior Ross Teare saw action at defensive tackle in all 12 contests. Senior Tyler Skaggs started seven of 10 games at defensive tackle, while junior Larry Thomas and sophomore Taylor
Clarkson each played in 11 games. Poss finished seventh on the team in tackles, while Hunter was eighth. “When you can line up a defensive line with guys who have played together, anchored by Grant Hunter, you’ve got a chance,” noted Voris. The Bulldogs are equally experienced at linebacker, despite losing second-leading tackler Derek Guggenberger, and in the secondary, despite the absence of thirdleading tackler Spencer Summerville. Caldicott, Butler’s leading tackler last season, anchors a linebacker corps that includes returning regular Andrew Cottrell and top 2009 reserves Jordan Ridley and William Lamar. Caldicott finished with 70 tackles last season, one more than Guggenberger and two more than Summerville. He also led the team with three forced fumbles and tied for second on the squad with three pass interceptions. Cottrell, playing his first season with the Bulldogs finished fifth on the team in tackles (43), while Ridley was tenth (36). Ridley and Lamar both saw action in all 12 Butler games last season. Additional help could come from seniors Bob Olszewski and junior Robert Koteff, both of whom saw regular action last season, and sophomore Artis Hailey, who’s switching from running back to linebacker. The defensive secondary is led by senior Tadd Dombart and junior Mark Giacomantonio. Dombart, a four-year regular, enters his final season with seven career pass interceptions and more than 100 career tackles. Giacomantonio, Butler’s
fourth-leading tackler last season, led the PFL in pass interceptions in 2009 with five in nine games. Junior Jack McKenna, named Butler’s Most Improved Defensive Player last season, returns at cornerback, where he started all 12 games in 2009 and tied Dombart with three pass thefts. He also finished sixth on the team in tackles. Sophomore Matt Foor and junior Logan Sullivan, both of whom saw extensive action last season, are the top candidates to replace Summerville at strong safety, while junior Andy Dauch adds experienced depth at free safety. Several newcomers could contribute at cornerback. “We have experienced guys returning at all positions (in the secondary), and we have some really good young depth,” stated Voris. “We enter the season feeling very good about our secondary.” Special Teams Unlike a year ago, the Bulldogs return all of their top special teams players. Sophomore Michael Wilson took over the team’s punting chores last season and wound up being named Butler’s Special Teams MVP. He led the PFL in number of punts inside the 20-yard line (29), helping the Bulldogs win the battle of field position. Junior David Lang took over as the team’s placekicker, and he finished as the Butler’s third-leading scorer with 54 points. He booted seven field goals, including a pair of game-winners, and wound up third in the PFL in kick scoring. Koopman returns as the squad’s top kick returner, averaging 22.7 yards per return last season, while Dombart led the Bulldogs in punt returns.
Tailback Scott Gray led the Bulldogs and ranked third in the PFL with a career-best 868 rushing yards in 2009.

Head Coach Jeff Voris In just four seasons, Jeff Voris has taken Butler from an 0-11 record to the most successful season in school history! Voris, who’s improved the Bulldogs’ win total in each of his four seasons, took a Butler team picked fifth in the Pioneer Football League preseason poll, and guided it to an 11-1 campaign, a tie for the PFL championship and Butler’s first-ever post-season victory. The 11 wins in 2009 set a Butler single season record and tied the PFL single season mark, and the league title was Butler’s first since 1994. Butler also tied the PFL record for league wins (7), while setting a record for home wins (7) and completing an unbeaten Butler Bowl slate. The Buldogs picked up the post-season win with a 28-23 victory over Central Connecticut State in the 2009 Gridiron Classic, a post-season game matching the champions of the PFL and the Northeast Conference. Voris guided the Bulldogs to nine straight wins to start the season, matching the Butler record for consecutive victories and making the 2009 Bulldogs just the third football squad in school history to own a 9-0 record. Included in that opening stretch was a 23-14 victory over Valparaiso in the annual Hoosier Helmet Trophy game. To no one’s surprise, Voris was named the PFL Coach of the Year. The historic 2009 Butler campaign came one year after Voris guided the Bulldogs to a 6-5 record, the program’s first winning season in more than a decade! The six wins were Butler’s most since 1997 and the second-most since the Bulldogs moved to Division I in 1993. And Butler’s ffour league wins tied the Bulldogs’ highest PFL win total to that point! The successful campaign came just one year after Voris guided Butler to a 4-7 mark in just his second season at the helm. The four victories were the most by a Butler football team since 2002 and marked another step forward for the program. In 2006, his first season as Butler’s head coach, Voris guided the Bulldogs to a 3-8 mark and a tie for fifth place in the PFL. His first victory at Butler snapped an 18-game losing streak by the Bulldogs, and the team’s three total wins matched Butler’s victory total for the previous three seasons combined. A former record-setting quarterback at DePauw University, Voris was named the 24th head football coach at Butler in December of 2005. He previously had served as head coach at Carroll (Wis.) College for five seasons, following assistant coaching stints at Edinboro, DePauw, Texas and Illinois. Voris spent five seasons rebuilding the football program at Carroll. His first team in 2001 had just 51 players. In 2005 with the squad size up to 111 players, he guided the Pioneers to a 6-4 record and a third place finish in the Midwest Conference. It was Carroll’s first winning season since 1996, and the Pioneers’ six league wins tied the school record for most MWC wins. During his five campaigns at Carroll, Voris coached one second team All-American, one honorable mention All-American, 11 first team all-conference players and 30 academic all-conference performers. He coached an all-conference quarterback in four of his five seasons. Carroll teams broke 10 school records for offense and special teams during his tenure, and his 2005 squad ranked fourth in the NCAA Division III in punt return average. Voris took the Carroll head coaching position after spending one season on the staff of head coach Lou Tepper at Edinboro. He previously served under head coach Nick Mourouzis at DePauw. During his four seasons as offensive coordinator at DePauw, the Tigers compiled a 29-11 record, won one conference 4

The Butler Bowl, home to Butler football for eight decades, received a major face-lift for the 2010 season. Located on the northeast side of Butler’s campus just east of storied Hinkle Fieldhouse, the Butler Bowl project took a major step forward with the addition of new bleacher and chairback seats on the west side, visitor’s seating on the east side and a new brick press box stretching between the 30-yard lines. The new seats boosted the stadium capacity to 5,647, and the new press box added main level areas for media, radio, coaches and boosters as well as an upper level video area and observation deck. The renovation of the Butler Bowl, part of a plan to build new student housing along the east side of the stadium, began during the summer of 2005 with the removal of the Hilton U. Brown Theatre, located in the south end zone, and the demolition of the east stands. A new field turf surface replaced the former grass field and a new scoreboard was added to the south end zone. The field itself was raised by nearly eight feet and moved slightly to the south. The original Butler Bowl was designed as part of a massive project developed to give Butler University one of the finest athletic plants in the nation. Construction on the Bowl was completed in time for the start of the 1928 football season, and Butler inaugurated the stadium by defeating Franklin, 55-0. The Bowl opened with seating for 36,000 spectators. The first major change to the Bowl came in 1955, when the Hilton U. Brown Theatre was constructed in the south end zone. The huge outdoor theater replaced 16,000 seats and gave Butler one of the premier open-air stage facilities in the Midwest. For years, the Hilton U. Brown Theatre served as the summer home for Starlight Musicals, which brought the best in off-Broadway performances to Indianapolis.

University of San Diego........................................San Diego, Calif. Valparaiso University..............................................Valparaiso, Ind. The 2010 season marks the 18th year for the Pioneer Football League – the nation’s only non-scholarship NCAA Football Championship Subdivision conference. The league expanded to 10 members a year ago, with Marist College joining as a fulltime member. Currently the PFL plays an eightgame league schedule, rotating the ninth league opponent on a twoyear basis. The PFL is one of only three conferences that sponsor football as its only sport (the Missouri Valley Football Conference and Great West Football Conferences being the others). However, the PFL is a truly national conference with members on each coast and throughout the nation’s heartland. The league still retains four of its charter members – Butler University, the University of Dayton, Drake University and Valparaiso University, plus the University of San Diego (joining in 1992) – which were joined in 2001 by Davidson College, Jacksonville University and Morehead State University. Campbell University joined the league for the 2008 season. In January 1991 the NCAA passed legislation to require Division I institutions to sponsor all intercollegiate sports at the Division I level. The five charter members (Evansville the fifth before dropping football in 1997), each dedicated to the enhancement and sound management of intercollegiate football as an integral part of the student-athletes’ collegiate experience, joined together to form the Pioneer Football League. From the league’s inception it has been a proponent of the creation of a non-scholarship football classification within Division I and adopted the moniker of Pioneer based on the intent to become the first league in that new division. All 10 current members are committed to the non-scholarship football model. The PFL began play in 1993 with Dayton winning the league’s first crown. The league spent its first season in 1993 under the administrative guidance of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, and the office moved to St. Louis in 1994 when current commissioner Patty Viverito was named the PFL commissioner, a leadership position she continues to fill.

Butler University The five faculty and 113 students present when Butler University opened in 1855 laid a solid foundation for 155 years of creative change and progress. Today’s more than 4,000 students continue to look ahead while treasuring the traditions unique to Butler. The young school, originally named North Western Christian University, was unusually innovative. It was the first in Indiana, and only the third in the nation, to admit women on an equal basis with men. With the appointment in 1858 of Catherine Merrill as Demia Butler Professor of English, the institution became the second in the country to appoint a woman faculty member, the first to establish an endowed chair specifically for a female professor and the first to establish a professorship in English literature. The school was also the first in Indiana to allow its students, with parental consent, to choose subjects under a new “elective” system. As Indianapolis grew, the city’s commercial district began to penetrate the heavily-wooded campus at what is now the corner of Thirteenth Street and College Avenue. In 1873, the board of directors decided to sell the downtown campus and accept a gift of 25 acres in Irvington, then a suburb east of Indianapolis. In 1877, North Western Christian University became Butler University, taking the name of its founder, Indianapolis attorney Ovid Butler. Butler moved again 50 years later, as the “Circle City” continued to grow. In 1928, classes were held for the first time in Jordan Hall, an imposing new Gothic structure erected on the beautiful Fairview Park Site, a wooded tract north of the city on the White River and the Inland Waterway Canal. Today’s students come from nearly every state in the nation and from many foreign countries to enroll in degree programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, or in one of four professional colleges -- Business Administration, Education, Fine Arts or Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Butler is one of only 21 private schools in the
country offering a pharmacy program. True to the vision of its founders, the University continues to offer an array of professional and pre-professional programs within the context of a strong commitment to the traditional arts and sciences and to the values of liberal education. Butler continues to welcome highly motivated, intellectually curious men and women, and to prepare them for lives of professional and community service and creative, ethical action. Butler is one of the top 20 U. S. colleges for producing business executives, is in the top 10% for preparing future Ph.D.s and is located in the #2 city for college graduates starting a career.
