Battle for the Golden Horseshoe
Cal Poly moved closer to evening its series against UC Davis with a 55-38 triumph on Nov. 14, 2015, inide Aggie Stadium. The Aggies lead the all-time series 20-19-2. In 2004, the two schools’ student-run spirit clubs, Mustang Maniacs and the Aggie Pack, came together to sponsor a perpetual trophy that resides with the team that wins each year. The horseshoe-shaped trophy signifies the agricultural influence at both universities. Although the trophy was established in 2004, the two teams have met for football games 41 times. From 2001-05 and in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the visiting team won. Twelve games in the “Battle for the Golden Horseshoe” have been played, with each team winning six times. The all-time series began in 1939 with UC Davis posting a 28-0 shutout at Davis. Cal Poly returned the favor in 1940 with a 27-0 victory in San Luis Obispo. The two teams have met every year since 1978. Seventeen of the games in the series have been decided by seven points or less.

Unique on-campus opportunities – such as an organic farm and a student-run daily newspaper and majors of study ranging from aerospace engineering to wine and viticulture – make hands-on learning a daily reality at Cal Poly. In total, Cal Poly confers bachelor's degrees in 64 separate areas of study. Nine of those degrees are exclusive to the San Luis Obispo campus (see next page). For 23 consecutive years, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Cal Poly as the top public master’s university in the western United States. The publication also ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering as the No. 3 program in the nation among public non-doctoral institutions (see below). On-campus activities are headquartered at the renown University Union and Cal Poly’s student-run activities have earned enviable reputations across the nation. Week of Welcome offers first-quarter students a successful introduction to the collegiate experience through a team of trained student leaders and university officials, all of whom provide academic and social resources, encourage awareness and promote relationships with the campus and Central Coast community.
Athletically, Cal Poly boasts one of the most successful Division I programs for an institution of its size. During the 2013-14 academic year, the athletics department – which sponsors 21 varsity programs – saw the men’s basketball, men’s tennis and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships and six teams win Big West championships (baseball, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s basketball and men’s tennis). Individually, Joe Protheroe (football) earned All-America honors during the 2015-16 academic year. Nick Meyer (baseball), Kyle Marinconz (baseball) and Ashlee Van Winden (volleyball) earned freshman All-American honors. Pitcher Justin Calomeni was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the ninth round of the MLB Draft in June 2016. Named Big West athletes of the year were Peyton Bilo (women’s cross country), Garrett Migliozzi (men’s cross country), Chase Minter (men’s soccer, midfielder of the year) and Wade Hamilton (men’s soccer, goalkeeper of the year). As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 106 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2015-16school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports, and 13 squads posted perfect Academic Progress Rate scores during the 2014-15 academic year. Internationally, Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Wrestler Boris Novachkov qualified for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro in 65-kilogram (143-pound) freestyle competition.

CAL POLY AN ACADEMIC DYNASTY 23 YEARS IN THE MAKING
For the 23rd straight year, Cal Poly was rated by U.S. News and World Report as the best public master’s university in the western United States in its 2015 America’s Best Colleges guidebook. Cal Poly also is rated the most efficient school among regional western universities and placed 10th in the publication’s overall list of the west’s best universities – including both public and private institutions – that provide “a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs but few, if any, doctoral programs.” The publication ranks colleges that grant doctoral degrees, such as those in the University of California system, in a separate category. “Being named Best in the West for 23 straight years is a terrific acknowledgment of Cal Poly’s sustained excellence over a long period of time,” said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. “The credit belongs to our faculty and staff for their unwavering dedication and commitment to our students’ success, and it underscores the power of our Learn by Doing philosophy.”
Within individual areas of study, U.S. News and World Report ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering No. 3 among public engineering programs for schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s or master’s (Cal Poly was bested only by the United States Military Academy and Air Force Academy). A number of College of Engineering programs ranked high in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs in their individual specialty categories. The university’s computer, electrical and mechanical engineering programs were each ranked as the top program at a public university in their respective specialty categories. Cal Poly’s civil and environmental engineering program was ranked the secondbest program at a public university.

CAL POLY HISTORY
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, TRANSCENDENT FUTURE
In front of the Orfalea College of Business iis the O’Neill Green, which hosts, among other activities, a tailgate prior to football games at the adjacent and recently remodeled Alex G. Spanos Stadium. A 1948 graduate of the College of Agriculture, the late Richard J. O’Neill is the founder of Supporters of Mustang Athletics Teams (SUMAT) and was instrumental in helping to stabilize funding for Cal Poly.
I
n the 1890s, when a proposal for a teacher training school in San Luis Obispo seemed unlikely to succeed, California State Senator Sylvester C. Smith instead suggested a polytechnic institute. Myron Angel, chronicler of San Luis Obispo County history, became an ardent supporter of the idea and articulated a vision to establish a school that would “teach the hand as well as the head.” The plan succeeded and on March 8, 1901, legislation was signed founding the California Polytechnic School, then a vocational high school. During the ensuing three decades, Cal Poly evolved into the modern equivalent of a junior college, but its future became uncertain. In 1933, however, Julian A. McPhee, chief of the California Bureau of Agricultural Education, saved the institution from abolishment by agreeing to become school president. During the next 33 years, McPhee guided Cal Poly’s transformation into a four-year institution and set an educational standard still emulated today. Cal Poly’s first baccalaureate exercises were held in May 1942 and in 1947, the institution was officially renamed California State Polytechnic College. As programs continued to evolve, the institution became California Polytechnic State University in 1972. The Learn by Doing ethos continues to inform the paths Cal Poly’s alumni pursue, and they keep the friendships they start here. They also learn by succeeding. Median starting salary for recent graduates was $50,000 (beating all other CSU and UC campuses) and mid-career salaries for Cal Poly alumni are better than all UC and CSU campuses except Berkeley and UC San Diego -- and better than many private universities. More than half of Cal Poly seniors have a job offer in hand before they graduate -- even in today’s difficult economy.
Dedicated in 2006 and situated outside of Alex G. Spanos Stadium, Mustang Memorial Plaza commemorates the 16 Cal Poly football players, team manager and program supporter who perished Oct. 29, 1960 in an airplane accident outside of Toledo, Ohio.

Welcome to Cal Poly
At Cal Poly, the most important person on campus is the student. We start with the premise that all of our students, because they have met Cal Poly's high standards for admission, are equipped to succeed. And then our dedicated faculty and staff bring to bear their enormous talent and unwavering commitment to students' success. Central to this process is Cal Poly's distinctive Learn by Doing approach, in which we provide students with daily opportunities to apply classroom theory to realworld problems in the context of a comprehensive polytechnic education, grounded in the arts and sciences. Learn by Doing enables students to develop deep confidence in their knowledge and technical skills, preparing them to become resourceful and innovative professionals who can help solve the problems of an increasingly complex and technological world. Highly motivated students, talented faculty, dedicated staff, and the dynamic nature of Learn by Doing - these are important facets of Cal Poly, but not the whole sum. An exceptional university succeeds only if it has the full engagement of the entire university community students, faculty and staff, parents, alumni and friends one that joins together in a partnership of discovery. Fortunately, Cal Poly has an abundance of people deeply committed to a vibrant partnership, and deeply committed to transforming lives, one student at a time.

CAL POLY ADMINISTRATION
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DON OBERHELMAN CAL POLY DIVISION I HONORS
onald J. Oberhelman was named Cal Poly’s Director of Athletics on March 17, 2011. Oberhelman, 44, came to Cal Poly after serving as the Chief Operating Officer and Senior Associate Athletic Director at San Diego State University. In that capacity, he was responsible for the daily operations of San Diego State’s intercollegiate athletics program. “Cal Poly has a great tradition of academic excellence and we want to continue to build on that tradition in everything we do,” Oberhelman said at the time of his hiring. “For many people, athletics is the first impression they have of the university. We must make sure these impressions are great ones." Oberhelman has served in a number of NCAA and conference leadership roles, including The NCAA Division I Council. The 40-member Council is charged with managing the new governance structure, the many changes taking place in college athletics, and the day-to-day decision making for all of Division I. In April 2015, he was appointed by the NCAA to chair the newly formed NCAA Division I Legislative Committee to review legislation and communicate positions to the Division I Council. Oberhelman has served on many working groups for the NCAA, currently serving in a review of the future of amateurism within the collegiate model. He is a current member of the Executive Committee for the Big West Conference. Oberhelman also serves on the Board of Directors for the Hearst Cancer Center, as well as the Board of the American Heart Association. The Mustang Way, the core values for the department, was developed under Oberhelman's leadership. These values were so well received that the university adopted much of them as their own in 2012, and The Mustang Way has since become an integral part of campus life at Cal Poly. Cal Poly has recently seen many NCAA Division I 'firsts.' After a 20-year history in Division I, with Oberhelman at the helm the Mustangs experienced the first NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament appearance, the first Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament appearance, a number one national ranking for baseball, first hosting of the NCAA Baseball Regionals, first Big Sky Conference football championship, and the best finish in the Big West Commissioner's Cup in our history with six championships in one season. The Mustangs' most successful competitive Division I campaign may have been this past season, but Oberhelman believes championships are not enough. “We know our primary obligation is to develop our studentathletes," said Oberhelman. "I want us to be leaders in graduation rates as well as in championships." Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong echoed Oberhelman’s sentiments.

“Don’s goal is for all of our student-athletes to leave Cal Poly with a diploma and a championship ring,” Armstrong said. “That’s a great goal for our student-athletes and our fans.” Mustang athletics continues to be a leader in graduation rates, graduating student-athletes at a higher rate than the campus as a whole, the ultimate measure of academic success. This past year the Mustangs received more NCAA Academic Achievement Awards than the rest of the Big West Conference combined, and half of all student-athletes maintain over a 3.0 GPA. Facility renovations abound as the Varsity Tennis Complex, Mott Athletics Center, Anderson Pool, and Alex G. Spanos Stadium have all seen improvements under Oberhelman's direction. Private giving has gone up dramatically during his tenure, leading to these improvements as well s growth in financial aid and athletic support staff. Prior to his tenure at San Diego State, Oberhelman served several roles at Southern Mississippi, the most recent as the senior associate athletic director (2002-07), education coordinator for athletics at Texas A&M (1998-2002) and as a compliance assistant at Florida State (1995-1998). The native of rural Kansas earned his bachelor’s in business administration at Kansas State and his master’s in athletic administration at Florida State. Don resides with his wife D.D. in Avila Beach.

MUSTANGS EXCEL IN THE CLASSROOM
or more than 100 years, Cal Poly’s student-athletes have been dedicated to excellence in both the athletic and academic arenas. During the 2015-16 scholastic year alone, 106 Mustangs were named to all-conference academic teams. Since Cal Poly transitioned to the Division I level in 1994, the school has enjoyed 970 total all-conference academic selections – an average of over 44 per year. Taking pride in each student’s ability to excel both athletically and intellectually, Cal Poly and the athletics department offer guidance and support to each student-athlete during his or her tenure. To support these motives, the athletics department initiated the Academic Resource Center.
Opened in 2001, the center provides yearround academic support, tutoring, workshops and academic advising. The center has also developed study hall programs with bi-quarterly progress checks, weekly academic appointments and a first-year seminar class for incoming student-athletes. In deference to the student-athlete’s need for class schedule flexibility, Cal Poly also offers in-season priority registration for two of the three quarters during which competition occurs. Of the 64 major courses offered at Cal Poly, Mustang student-athletes were enrolled in 52 separate areas, as of the Fall 2015 term.
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE

Featuring 21 varsity programs, the Cal Poly Athletics Department is in its 23rd year of NCAA Division I competition since completing reclassification in 1994. With the exception of football (Big Sky Conference), wrestling (Pac-12 Conference) and the men’s and women’s swimming and indoor track and field programs (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), Cal Poly is also in its 21st year as a member of the Big West Conference. Among Big West institutions, only UC Davis (22 programs) boasts more athletic disciplines than Cal Poly. Prior to transitioning to the Division I level, Cal Poly ranked as the most successful institution in the history of NCAA Division II athletics with 35 national team titles. Cal Poly has continued its winning tradition at the top flight with teams and individuals routinely earning conference championships and NCAA Tournament berths. During the 2013-14 academic year, the athletics department -- which added beach volleyball in 2014 -saw the men’s basketball, men’s tennis and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships. Individually, Joe Protheroe (football) earned All-America honors during the 2015-16 academic year. Nick Meyer (baseball), Kyle Marinconz (baseball) and Ashlee Van Winden (volleyball) earned freshman All-American honors. Pitcher Justin Calomeni was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the ninth round of the MLB Draft in June 2016. Named Big West athletes of the year were Peyton Bilo (women’s cross country), Garrett Migliozzi (men’s cross country), Chase Minter (men’s soccer, midfielder of the year) and Wade Hamilton (men’s soccer, goalkeeper of the year). As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 106 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2015-16 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports. Cal Poly athletes have consistently excelled outside the bounds of the collegiate arena. Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London while wrestler Boris Novachkov earned a spot in the 2016 Summer Games at Rio de Janeiro. Other prominent post-Cal Poly examples include All-American wide receiver Ramses Barden (2005-08), who was a third-round selection by the New York Giants in 2009 and played four years with the Giants. Former linebacker Chris Gocong (2002-05) – one of Cal Poly’s three Buck Buchanan Award winners as the Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player – made 35 starts in three active seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Linebacker Nick Dzubnar currently is with the San Diego Chargers while cornerback Asa Jackson plays for the Arizona Cardinals. Former men’s soccer midfielder Anton Peterlin is the only Big West player to have appeared in an English Football League match. Three former Mustangs -Junior Burgos (Toronto FC), Patrick McLain (Chivas USA) and Ariel Lassiter (L.A. Galaxy) have played on Major League Soccer clubs. Mackenzie Pridham plays for Minnesota United FC of the North American Soccer League. Lassiter (Team USA) and Kip Colvey (New Zealand) have been named to national under-23 teams. As of August 2016, the Cal Poly baseball program produced six Major League players in the last seven years with both Casey Fien and Bud Norris pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers. A total of 20 other Mustangs were active professionally.

CAL POLY ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT FACILITIES
ENHANCED BY SOME OF THE NATION’S MOST RAVENOUS CROWDS AND PRISTINE WEATHER, CAL POLY’S ATHLETICS FACILITIES PROVIDE THE MUSTANGS WITH AN UNPARALLELED HOME ADVANTAGE
11
Completed in 2006, Alex G. Spanos Stadium (above) hosts Cal Poly’s football and men’s and women’s soccer programs. The Mustang football team christened the complex on Nov. 18, 2006 with a 55-0 victory versus Savannah State, while a program-record 11,075 spectators packed Spanos Stadium Sept. 15, 2007 for Cal Poly’s season home-opening win against Weber State. On Oct. 17, 2008, another sellout crowd of 11,075 supporters – then the thirdlargest regular season crowd figure in NCAA men’s soccer history – flooded Spanos Stadium for Cal Poly’s nationally-televised showdown against central coast rival UC Santa Barbara. During the 2009 season, the men’s soccer program ranked third among NCAA Division I programs by averaging 2,213 fans per home date.
Cal Poly’s volleyball, wrestling and basketball programs call the 3,032-seat Mott Athletics Center (right) home. A new $700,000 floor was installed during the summer of 2007 along with two videoboards ($750,000) prior to the 2014-15 campaign. During recent years, Mott has hosted the Pac-12 Conference Wrestling Championships and, in front of a sold-out audience, the first and seconds rounds of the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Tournament (also right). The men’s basketball program produced a trio of sellouts a year ago as well as two more during the 201415 season and one against Big West champion UC Davis in February 2014. Additionally, the Mustang women’s basketball program drew a program-record 2,552 fans for a March 5, 2011 game against UC Santa Barbara.
Remodeled at a cost of more than $3 million, the Olympic-sized Anderson Aquatic Center (left) was completed in August 2009 and plays host to both Cal Poly’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. Situated adjacent to the Mott Athletics Center, the pool measures 12,348 square feet. Eight 50-yard lanes highlight the complex, which also provides for a total of eighteen 25-yard cross course lanes. The complex also features a 15-by-30-foot all-shallow therapy pool. Anderson Aquatic Center held its first official event on Oct. 3, 2009, when the Mustang women’s swimming program welcomed thendefending national champion California to San Luis Obispo.
ADDITIONAL CAL POLY ATHLETICS FACILITY HIGHLIGHTS
• With a picturesque mountain backdrop ringing the landscape, Ozzie Smith Plaza was completed in 2001 and plays host to the Bob Janssen Field softball and Baggett Stadium baseball venues. The Mustang baseball team regularly draws four-figure attendances -- 15 crowds in excess of 2,000 fans in 2014 -- and hosts nationally ranked competition. The Mustang softball program, which clinched its first Big West title in 2007 at Janssen Field, drew an overflow, program-record 1,532 fans for a 2007 doubleheader against perennial national powerhouse UCLA. Both venues feature spacious clubhouses, as well as batting cages and bullpen areas for both teams.
• Cal Poly finished resurfacing an on-campus all-weather track in 2001 and completed improvements to the high jump and pole vault areas. The track and field program hosts its annual Cal Poly Invitational each March.

Cal Poly Weight Room Sports a New Look
The Mott Athletics Center weight room now features state-of-the-art equipment, thanks to $150,000 in donations from over 20 donors, many of them parents of Cal Poly football players. A view of the old facility is shown in upper right corner.

uring the summer of 2013, the Mott Athletics Center weight room for Cal Poly Athletics underwent a $150,000 renovation, thanks in large part to philanthropic support from parents of football players in addition to football alumni and area supporters. The 2,500-square-foot facility, under the direction of Cal Poly strength and conditioning coach Chris Holder, services over 550 student-athletes and had not been improved since it was originally built in 1998. "This gift is one of the most important projects our Athletics Department can receive," said Holder. "The weight room is the only place in our program that sees every student-athlete on a regular basis. We impact the life of every Mustang athlete and, now, we will be doing so in a state-ofthe-art facility." The 2013 renovation included new equipment, new platforms, new lighting, a new sound system, repair of the concrete floor, fresh paint and Cal Poly Mustang Branding throughout. "The project was originally proposed by parents of two football players who wanted to see improvements for today's student athletes," said Ashley Offermann, associate
athletics director for development. "Football head coach Tim Walsh was a driving force and approved the funding priority that would benefit all of Cal Poly's athletic programs." In total, there were over 20 donors who gave in excess of $150,000 to complete the project, Offermann added. In the spring of 2013, Walsh and director of athletics Don Oberhelman collaborated on the idea and plans to remodel the facility. "This project is being funded on the backs of our football parents," said Oberhelman. "Coach Walsh jumped on board with this project in the beginning, putting football-specific concerns on hold, knowing what a huge impact this will have for every one of our sports. "Offermann then worked very hard to put a plan in place to reach out to the football parents and a few former football players, and they have responded," Oberhelman added. "When we looked at our needs in football and looked at the needs of the department, Don and myself decided that what is best for both the department and football is to help remodel the weight room," said Walsh. The additions that will be made will make the facility attractive enough for us with the
13
recruiting process. "Most importantly, it will provide a better atmosphere for Chris to do the things he wants to do with the athletes," Walsh added. "I'd like to thank all the football parents and alumni involved with the funding of the project." Holder feels the project will help fulfill his master plan and provide the tools necessary for carrying off his ideas. "The football parents who so generously donated the funds to make this a reality have given my staff and myself the opportunity to really push the limits of our knowledge and creativity," said Holder. "This project gives their sons, as well as all other student-athletes, male and female, at Cal Poly the best opportunity to develop a physical edge. "Plain and simple, I need the athletes to walk into our space and WANT to train in our facility," Holder added. We have a room, now, that will be a source of pride for our athletes, for our coaches and staff and a place that will be a valuable tool in the recruiting process of future Mustangs. "If you have the right energy in the room, if the gear is updated and purposeful, every Mustang athlete has the opportunity to reach their physical potential," Holder said.

Cal Poly Weight Room Sports a New Look
Another view of the renovated Mott Athletics Center weight room, which includes repair of the floor and walls, paint, new lighting, a sound system and branding. Mustang student-athletes began using the new facility in September 2013.
"Like the other colleges here on campus, we have nicknamed the room "The Cal Poly School of Strength". During construction, the weight room's old equipment was moved outdoors behind the Mott Athletics Center, used by the athletes in preparation for the fall sports season. Preparing the weight room for the remodeling project involved the masonry and carpentry skills of Holder, his assistants (Cameron Van Wye, Sara Bergheger and Andy Sverchek) and director of facilities and event operations Jesse Latino. Facility Services provided assistance with repairing the concrete below the rubber flooring. Repairing and reinforcing the walls to prevent further damage was completed prior to painting the facility and installing updated lighting, a sound system and fresh branding. "In keeping with the theme of service to
our student-athletes, improving the weight room is the fastest and most impactful way to better their Cal Poly experience," said Oberhelman. "I want to give a big thank you to those of you who have helped to make this happen." The Mustang coaching staff is just as enthusiastic about the project. "One of the coolest aspects about Cal Poly athletics is how the student-athletes from every sport support and encourage each other," said women's basketball head coach Faith Mimnaugh. "Perhaps the greatest example of this is when you witness a strength-training session. Athletes from different sports come together to train to improve their strength, quickness and power. "All the athletes will benefit from the weight room renovation," Mimnaugh added. "The contributors who made it possible will
know that they are providing tomorrow's leaders with a facility that matches the excellence that these students display on the field, on the court and in the classroom. Great things can be accomplished through teamwork and selflessness." Added women's volleyball head coach Sam Crosson, "The renovation of the weight room facility at Cal Poly will have a significant impact on both current and future student-athletes, not only for our program but for all of the student athletes on campus. The facility is the foundation for improving athletic performance and its modernization will have an immediate effect on the future success of our program." For more information, or a tour of the renovated strength and conditioning room, contact Offermann at (805) 440-9792 or at aofferma@calpoly.edu.
During the summer of 2013, student-athletes went outside to use the old weight room equipment behind Mott Athletics Center.

Big Sky Conference
Cal Poly, along with UC Davis, North Dakota and Southern Utah, started competition in the expanded Big Sky Conference in the fall of 2012. Cal Poly and the Aggies accepted invitations from the Big Sky Conference in September 2010 to become affiliate members in the sport of football only. North Dakota and Southern Utah joined the Big Sky as full-fledged members in December 2010. Cal Poly and UC Davis maintain membership in the Big West Conference for the majority of their other sports. “The geography of the Big Sky Conference makes perfect sense for Cal Poly,” said then-Cal Poly interim president Dr. Robert Glidden during a 2010 press conference. “It gives us a consistently competitive schedule and a great opportunity to grow long-term, stable rivalries with wellrespected teams.” Added then-Mustang director of athletics Alison Cone, “We’re very excited about joining the Big Sky Conference. Our goal all along has been to find stability for our football program, and the Big Sky Conference gives us exactly what we need to enhance our program. The Big Sky Conference is one of the best FCS conferences in the country and offers great competition with teams that are natural rivals in our region. “We’re able to continue our great rivalry with UC Davis and renew rivalries with other West region schools,” Cone added. “The scheduling improvements will give our student-athletes an opportunity to vie for a conference championship which provides an automatic berth into the NCAA playoffs. It’s also a victory for our fans, who will get a chance to watch some of the best FCS schools in the country year in and year out.” Doug Fullerton, then the commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, said, “The Big Sky is already recognized as one of the top Football Championship Subdivision conferences in the nation. The addition of Cal Poly and UC Davis to our lineup will strengthen us even more. “This is a great fit for both institutions and the Big Sky Conference,” Fullerton added. “We are bringing in two strong western FCS programs. They will benefit from us in having access to an automatic playoff bid and a full slate of conference games.” Cal Poly head football coach Tim Walsh was head coach at Big Sky Conference member Portland State for 14 seasons (1993-2006), the final 11 years in the Big Sky Conference after Andrea Williams the Vikings elevated their athletics program from Division II to Big Sky Commissioner Division I in 1996, before moving on to the U.S. Military Academy (Army) as offensive coordinator for the 2007 and 2008 campaigns. Walsh was named head coach at Cal Poly on Jan. 9, 2009. “This is great news for our athdent-athletes,” Walsh said. “We are extremely excited to be a part of arguably the best NCAA FCS conference in the country. It is a conference that we are familiar with, the competition is top-flight and that will only make us better. “The Big Sky is regionalized in the western part of the country,” Walsh added. “All of that leads to stability for our football program.” In their first two FCS seasons, the Mustangs were members of the American West Conference (1994 and 1995) before becoming an independent for eight years. Cal Poly and five other schools, including UC Davis, formed the Great West Conference in 2004. The Mustangs won Great West titles in 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2011. The Big Sky Conference is entering its 54th year of athletic competition this fall and, prior to the addition of four teams in the fall of 2012, was a nine-team league for football since 2006 when Northern Colorado joined the conference. Eastern Washington captured the 2010 FCS championship while Montana played for the national championship in football each of the two previous years. Big Sky teams have won the Division I national title six times -- Boise State (1980), Idaho State (1981), Montana State (1984), Montana (1995 and 2001) and Eastern Washington (2010). Big Sky teams have made 13 total appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision national title game. The Big Sky has been represented in the playoffs by at least two teams in 30 of the past 32 years, including three teams on seven occasions -- 1988, 1990, 1994, 2003, 2009, 2012 with Cal Poly, Montana State and Eastern Washington, 2014 and 2015 -- and four in 2013. Since 1993, a total of 15 Big Sky teams have made it to at least the semifinals of the playoffs. The Big Sky has advanced two teams to the quarterfinals four of the last 10 seasons. Montana has appeared in seven national championship games since 1995. Since 2000, nine of the 13 Big Sky teams have made at least one playoff appearance. The Big Sky Conference has produced eight winners of the most outstanding offensive player at the FCS level, along with seven defensive player of the year winners and a trio of FCS coaches of the year. Last year the Big Sky swept the four major awards -- wide receiver Cooper Kupp of Eastern Washington was offensive player of the year, end Tyrone Holmes of Montana defensive player of the year, Northern Arizona quarterback Case Cookus freshman of the year and Portland State’s Bruce Barnum coach of the year. Since moving to the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) in 1994, Cal Poly is 48-49 against teams from the Big Sky Conference, including a 37-22 mark in the last 58 games from 2004-15. Cal Poly was 5-1 against Big Sky members in 2005, best in school history prior to becoming a Big Sky member in 2012, en route to its first NCAA FCS playoff berth. The Mustangs also qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in 2008 and 2012.

The job is his for the taking this year.
“Anytime you have a guy who has started five games over the last two years and has only lost four or five games in his entire career, high school and college, you’ve got to be excited,” said Tim Walsh, who begins his eighth season as head coach of the Mustangs on Sept. 2 at Nevada. “Dano is a team leader,” Walsh added. “When you start at the top, we’re extremely deep, but below him is a big question mark.
C
al Poly has led the nation in rushing offense each of the last three years. Chris Brown called the signals at quarterback for most of the 35 games played from 2013-15, compiling over 3,000 yards both on the ground and through the air.
Brown has graduated, but there is a veteran signal caller waiting to fill the void. Dano Graves, the record-breaking quarterback from Folsom High School, strategically redshirted last year so that he can get one final shot as director of Cal Poly’s Triple Option offensive scheme.
Graves played in six games as a sophomore, including five starts, and rushed for 367 yards and completed 60 percent of his 75 passes for 416 yards and three touchdowns. Two years ago, he called the signals in five more contests as Brown’s backup, gaining 169 yards and scoring five times on the ground and completing just six passes for 83 yards and one more score.
“Graves had a great spring and really took command of what we wanted to do in the first 12 plays of our Spring Game,” Walsh said. While Brown carried the ball 203 times and surpassed the 1,000yard mark for the second year in a row, don’t expect Graves to accumulate quite as many carries this fall. “We will be careful in how many times he carries the ball,” Walsh said. At 5-10 and 185 pounds, Graves gives up four inches and 20 pounds to Brown.
“They are different in height and size and Brown may have the advantage on speed, but not necessarily in quickness,” Walsh said in comparing the two signal callers. “Brown’s speed in the open field was a huge asset, but Graves’ quickness will be just as huge an asset and Dano really understands the offense.
Quarterbacks
“Graves ran the Triple Option at Air Force Dano Graves (5-10, 190, Sr.) (2011 prep school, Redshirt in 2015 2012 junior varsity) 6-10-0, 83 Yards, 1 TD in 2014 and his three previous 45-75-5, 416 Yards, 3 TD in 2013 years of running the Khaleel Jenkins (6-2, 205, So.) same kind of offense 3-16-0, 59 Yards, 0 TD in 2015 here (either in practice or in games from 2013-15) will be another asset for him,” Walsh said. “We’re not asking him to be Chris Brown. We’re just asking him to be Dano Graves, who won a lot of games in high school and has a tremendous makeup in terms of his personality.”
24
2016 Season Preview: Triple Option Set; Defense Moves to 3-4
Defensive tackle Marcus Paige-Allen enters senior season with 65 career tackles, including 8.5 for lost yardage. The two players on the summer depth chart listed as Graves’ backups are sophomores Khaleel Jenkins and Kory Fox.
Jenkins started one game last fall against Portland State and played briefly in two others, rushing for 97 yards and one score and passing for 59 yards. Fox, also a wide receiver, completed one pass for 57 yards to Kyle Lewis in 2015.
Slotbacks
Kori Garcia (5-10, 195, Sr.) 136 Carries, 780 Yards, 5 TD in 2015 10 Catches, 59 Yards, 0 TD in 2015 All-Big Sky Third Team in 2015 157 Carries. 1,039 Yards, 7 TD in 2014 17 Catches, 146 Yards, 2 TD in 2014 All-Big Sky Second Team 2014 55 Carries, 217 Yards, 1 TD in 2013 4 Catches, 37 Yards, 1 TD in 2013 Kyle Lewis (6-0, 210, Jr.) 40 Carries, 336 Yards, 6 TD in 2015 7 Catches, 108 Yards, 2 TD in 2015 DJ Peluso (6-0, 225, Sr.) 40 Carries, 278 Yards, 1 TD in 2015 8 Catches, 55 Yards, 0 TD in 2015 Alex Suchesk (5-10, 190, So.) 25 Carries, 156 Yards, 0 TD in 2015
Lewis is part of a deep and talented group of slot backs challenging for carries in 2016.
Kori Garcia, now a senior, rushed for over 1,000 yards as a sophomore and added 780 yards and five touchdowns in his junior campaign. He also was Cal Poly’s second-leading
receiver in 2015 with 10 catches for 59 yards.
Sophomores Malcolm Davis (52 yards, one TD in 2015) and Alex Suchesk (156 yards) will push Garcia at the W slot back position while senior DJ Peluso (278 yards, one TD; eight catches for 55 yards) will battle Lewis (336 yards, six TDs; seven catches for 108 yards and two TDs) at the S slot back spot. “In Garcia, Lewis and Peluso, we have three really good players for two spots,” said Walsh, “and Davis and Suchesk have shown a lot of promise
“Everyone will play,” Walsh added. “Garcia and Peluso are a great combo and, with Lewis, they lead the pack. Each pairing we have out on the field will be great.”
One also should add senior Elias Stokes, the 2010 San Luis Obispo County Player of the Year as a junior at Paso Robles High School, and redshirt freshman David Cooper to the mix. Stokes missed Spring Camp due to injury while Cooper “we think will be a very good player,” Walsh said. “They will back up the front three.
“I am excited to see how Cooper performs,” Walsh added. “And when Stokes has played, he played very well. We are hoping elias will be healthy and stronger and be the Elias Stokes we know he can be.”
Experience reigns at the fullback position as well with the return of juniors Joe Protheroe and Jared Mohamed. Protheroe netted 779 yards and scored six touchdowns while never losing a yard on his 169 carries while Mohamed added 463 yards and three scores,
losing just one yard on his 102 trips with the ball.
“Protheroe and Mohamed are coming back and those guys are better than last year,” said Walsh, adding that redshirt freshmen Raven Middleton and Trey Nahhas along with tight end Reagan Enger will get their carries as well. “Regardless of what we run on offense -- run, block or catch -- they can play very well,” Walsh added. “We will be successful regardless of what we run and who we put out there.”
Fullbacks
Joe Protheroe (6-0, 225, Jr.) 169 Carries, 779 Yards, 6 TD in 2015 First-Team All-Big Sky in 2015 Third-Team STATS FCS All-American in 2015 29 Carries, 184 Yards, 2 TD in 2014 Jared Mohamed (6-0, 220, Jr.) 102 Carries, 463 Yards, 3 TD in 2015 Reagan enger (6-3, 238, Jr. 25 Carries, 179 Yards, 1 TD in 2015
The Mustangs lost their top three wide receivers of a year ago – Willie Tucker (17 catches, 383 yards, six TDs), Jordan Hines (nine for 116 yards and two TDs) and Roland Jackson Jr. (6-158-2) – all seniors in 2015. “They were three really good receivers and very valuable players,” said Walsh, noting their ability to catch the ball as well as block in the Triple Option.
Challenging for the X wide receiver position are Fox and redshirt freshmen J.J. Koski and

2016 Season Preview: Triple Option Set; Defense Moves to 3-4 Josh Letuligasenoa, who notched 65 tackles in 2014, will be playing a position which allows him to utilize his talents as both a defensive end and linebacker this fall.
Jake Smeltzer while senior Carson McMurtrey and sophomore Alex Egurbide will battle for the starting nod at the Z spot.
None of the quintet had a catch a year ago, but slot backs Garcia, Peluso and Lewis along with fullbacks Mohamed and Protheroe combined for 29 receptions in 2015. “McMurtrey, Koski and Smeltzer will carry the load while Egurbide adds size and balance,” said Walsh, adding that Lewis “will get his turn as a wide receiver as well. He will play a lot of positions and we will get the ball to him.
Stephen Sippel and tackle Weston Walker – but return the other three starters and six others who earned considerable playing time a year ago.
Sippel started Cal Poly’s last 35 games and earned All-Big Sky Conference honors three times while Walker started 32 of the Mustangs’ 35 games over the last three seasons and played in every game during his four years on the team, earning All-Big Sky honorable mention praise as a junior and senior.
Wide Receivers
Carson McMurtrey (6-4, 205, Sr.) Played All 11 Games, 0 Catches in 2015 3 Catches, 26 Yards, 0 TD in 2014 4 Catches, 62 Yards, 0 TDs in 2013
Tight ends
Those with playing experience a year ago and returning for the 2016 campaign are junior Colin Goebel and sophomore Sam Ogee at left tackle, senior Calvin Sandeen at right guard and sophomore Zach Shallcross at right tackle. Also returning from a leg injury suffered four games into the 2014 season is Ross Berry, the Templeton High School graduate who was granted a medical redshirt and will be a sophomore this fall.
Reagan enger (6-3, 238, Jr.) 13 Catches, 52 Yards, 1 TD in 2015
“Hopefully all of the receivers will become as good as those who departed,” Walsh added. “We need to mature and mature rapidly. They are all talented, should be able to do what we ask of them and do it well.”
The tight end position on short-yardage downs will be manned by Enger (25 carries, 179 yards, one score; three catches, 52 yards, one TD) and senior Max Betkowski. The offensive line lost two starters – center
Starters Matt Fisher at left tackle, Joey Kuperman at right guard and Nick Enriquez at left guard all return, with Kuperman moving to center and Enriquez replacing Walker at right tackle. Fisher and Enriquez are seniors while Kuperman is a junior. Senior Billy Shipman II, who started 10 games in 2014, primarily at right guard, takes over for Kuperman at that spot this season while the battle at left guard to replace Enriquez will be between sophomore Harry Whitson and redshirt freshman Tyler Whisenhunt.
Linebacker Joseph Gigantino III notched 75 tackles, including 9.5 for lost yardage, as a junior in 2015.
“Shipman, Fisher and Enriquez probably are the most underrated linemen in the Big Sky Conference,” said Walsh, “and Kuperman has started a lot of games for us. We have depth and quality all the way through the lineup.
26
2016 Season Preview: Triple Option Set; Defense Moves to 3-4
Dano Graves (above), a 2015 redshirt, figures to be handing the ball off a lot to junior fullback Joe Protheroe this fall.
“And with Whitson, Shallcross, Sandeen, Whisenhunt, Ogee and Goebel, I think we’re really 10 deep on the offensive line,” Walsh added. “Whitson had a really good spring and he’s extremely athletic. We can play a lot of different combinations with the versatility of our offensive linemen.”
Several redshirt freshmen also will challenge for playing time along the offensive front, including Paul Trujillo-Langdon at center and David Chellsen at right tackle. In addition, senior Anthony Ayllon will back up the guards.
Offensive Line
Matt Fisher (6-5, 280, Sr.) 11 Starts at Left Tackle in 2015 Played Briefly in One Game in 2014 (Injured) 10 Starts, 12 Games Played in 2013 All-Big Sky Honorable Mention 2013 Nick enriquez (6-5, 285, Sr.) 10 Starts at Left Guard in 2015 All-Big Sky Second Team in 2015 Started All 12 Games in 2014 All-Big Sky Second Team 2014 Joey Kuperman (6-1, 295, Jr.) Started 11 Games at Right Guard in 2015 All-Big Sky Honorable Mention in 2015 Billy Shipman (6-4, 270, Sr.) Played 11 Games (1 Start) at Right Guard in 2015 Played in All 12 Games (10 Starts) in 2014
Offensive line coach Saga Tuitele left for New Mexico in mid-July, replaced by Todd Spencer, a Triple Option specialist at Georgia Tech, Army and Navy. Another coaching change affected the fullbacks and tight ends as Eric Coleman returned after a one-year absence to replace Dorian Keller, now an offensive line coach at Idaho State. Juston Wood has been promoted to offensive coordinator. Defense
While the offense returns six starters, the other side of the football features five players who started all 11 games last fall and two others who made at least three starts.
And the other major change on the coaching staff during the offseason was on the defensive side as Payam Saadat, assistant coach at Cal Poly from 1996-97 and 2004-08, returns to replace Eti Ena as defensive line coach. Eta returned to his alma mater, Eastern Washington. “Payam is really vocal and will bring some changes to how we play defense as well as intensity to the table,” Walsh said. “He stands up to what he thinks.” With the defensive alignment moving steadily toward a 3-4 formation, both Kelly Shepard and Leroy Mealancon will battle for one defensive end spot. Shepard, a senior, started all 11 games a year ago while Mealancon is a transfer from College of the Canyons where he made 43 tackles, 10 for lost yardage, in two seasons.
A similar squeeze will be played out at nose tackle with senior Marcus Paige-Allen and junior Augustno Elisaia. Both started all 11 games a year ago – Paige-Allen at the defensive tackle spot and Elisaia at the nose tackle position. Now they are challenging each other for one spot. That’s partly due as well to senior Jason Patterson and junior Jack Ferguson returning at the defensive tackle position. Both played all 11
27
2016 Season Preview: Triple Option Set; Defense Moves to 3-4
games a year ago, although neither started a game. Expect some of the tackles to play either position this fall. Shepard made 41 tackles, including 5.5 for lost yardage, a year ago while Paige-Allen notched 25 stops and Elisaia and Patterson 16 each.
“We have five quality guys with a lot of experience on the defensive line and that will help us this fall,” said Walsh. “They all have started games for us and are the nucleus of who we are on defense. We need Ferguson to step up and be an impact player for us.”
Defensive Line
Marcus Paige-Allen (5-10, 280, Sr.) 25 Tackles, 4.5 TFL, 1 Breakup in 2015 All-Big Sky Honorable Mention in 2015 40 Tackles, 4.0 TFLs, 2 Breakups in 2014 All-Big Sky Third Team in 2014 Augustino elisaia (6-0, 295, Jr.) 11 Starts, 16 Tackles, 1.0 TFL in 2015 5 Tackles in 2014 Kelly Shepard (6-4, 255, Sr.) 41 Tackles, 5.5 TFL, 2 Hurries in 2015 17 Tackles, 2.0 TFLs, 4 Breakups in 2014 Jason Patterson (6-2, 285, Sr.) 11 Games, 16 Tackles, 3 TFL in 2015
Only one of the starting linebackers returns – senior Joseph Gigantino III – and he is moving from Sam to Mike to replace the departed Tu’uta Inoke. Gigantino was third on the team with 75 tackles in 2015, including 9.5 for lost yardage.
Though Gigantino is the lone returning starter in the linebacking corps, the other three positions likely will be manned by players with a lot of experience.
Junior R.J. Mazolewski played all 11 games at either the Sam or Will positions in 2015, starting one contest, and is listed No. 1 at Will in the spring after earning 71 tackles, 7.5 for lost yardage, and four pass breakups last fall. Senior Chris Santini, who transferred to Cal Poly from Boise State after the 2014 season, is the top candidate at Sam linebacker. He played all 11 games as Inoke’s backup at Mike a year ago, recording nine tackles.
And Josh Letuligasenoa returns for his final season as a rush linebacker. He started all 12 games as a sophomore in 2014, garnering 65 tackles (29 solo) en route to All-Big Sky Conference honorable mention praise, but missed the 2015 campaign.
“The good news is that Josh is back, bigger, stronger and faster,” said Walsh. “He will be an impact player for us. Getting him back is a huge plus. He’s probably our best football player. He’s 265 pounds, smart, will rush the quarterback Linebackers and will be a difference maker for us. Joseph Gigantino III (6-2, 230, Sr.) There are a lot of 75 Tackles, 9.5 TFLs, 2 Hurries in 2015 things he can do that R.J.

“Santini really blossomed in the spring,” Walsh added. “He needs to be the kind of guy we thought he would be when he transferred from Boise State and we need to find guys to fill other spots. Everyone needs to get themselves ready to play.”
Behind the four players owning the top linebacker spots on the depth chart are senior Charlie Davis (eight tackles in 2015) at the rush spot,
B.J. Nard intercepted three passes against Montana last fall, his first game as a Mustang after three seasons of injuries.
Butte College transfer Mason Montgomery and sophomore Grant Alton at Sam, redshirt freshman Nik Navarro at Mike and sophomore Anders Turner and redshirt freshman Noah Thompson at Will. Thompson had an excellent Spring Game with four tackles, all for lost yardage, including two sacks, and also was credited with a quarterback hurry, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. In the defensive secondary, only one player who started all 11 games returns – right safety B.J. Nard. After battling injuries for three years, Nard made a big splash in his Mustang Defensive Backs debut last September B.J. Nard (6-2, 212, Jr.) by intercepting three passes in the 20-19 62 Tackles, 3 Interceptions, 2 Breakups in 2015 win at Montana.

Junior Kevin Griffin, the transfer from Washington State, made four starts and played in all 11 games at left safety last fall but will move to right cornerback for the 2016 season. Griffin notched 27 tackles and one interception a year ago.
Junior Jerek Rosales played all 11 games in the secondary last year with seven tackles and one pass breakup. The Diablo Valley College transfer tops the spring depth chart at left cornerback.
Battling for the starting nod at left safety are redshirt freshman Kitu

2016 Season Preview: Triple Option Set; Defense Moves to 3-4
Casey Sublette, a transfer from El Camino Community College, will handle kickoffs and place kicks.
“Vega hopefully can become a more consistent kicker,” said Walsh. “He has good leg strength. Sublette can kick with both feet and is more consistent.”
As a senior at Mira Costa High School in 2013, Sublette made four of seven field goals with a long of 33 yards and converted 39 of 42 extra-point attempts. He had 37 touchbacks and averaged 64.35 yards per kickoff and 35 yards per punt. Schedule
Big Sky opponents Montana, UC Davis and Eastern Washington highlight the home portion of the 11-game 2016 Cal Poly football schedule. This fall's slate features five home games, including a non-conference contest against San Diego on Sept. 10, and six matchups on the road.
Both Nick enriquez (67), moving from guard to tackle, and Joey Kuperman (63), taking over at center this fall, earned All-Big Sky honors in 2015.
Humphrey and sophomore Aaron Johnson (three tackles in 2015).
“We took a hit there,” Walsh said of the secondary, “but with Griffin, Rosales, Nard, Humphrey and Johnson along with several others, we’re actually pretty deep at defensive back. I don’t think we can be any deeper and there are a lot of serious battles going on there. “Griffin is more suited to cornerback than safety and, with him and Rosales, this is the first time we will have 6-foot-1 players on both sides of the cornerback position in my eight years here,” Walsh added.
Among others who could break into the starting lineup are juniors Aaryn Bouzos (13 tackles in 11 games last fall) and Darren Adjei at right safety, sophomore Kai Sheffie (who played four games last fall) at right cornerback and redshirt freshman Kam Dennis and Bakersfield College transfer Dominic Frasch at left cornerback.
“All of them are getting better as they mature,” said Walsh, “and all can do lots of different things. We have good depth and good speed in the secondary and, as an overall group, I think we’re deeper than last year.” Special Teams
Cal Poly returns its top punt and kickoff returners from a year ago but will have a new punter and placekicker with the departures of Zach Schottenfeld, Stephen Pyle and James Foug.
In addition, Shipman will be the new long snapper, replacing Walker and Zac Powell, and Fox likely will replace Powell as the holder on PATs and field goals.
Fox was the top Mustang punt returner last fall, though he returned just five punts, and Lewis averaged 20.6 yards on 11 kickoff returns with a long of 37 yards.
Cal Poly’s punter is expected to be sophomore Alex Vega, who kicked off 15 times and made both of his field goal attempts, including the gamewinning 49-yarder at Montana.
Cal Poly opens its 2016 campaign Friday, Sept. 2, at Nevada, a Football Bowl Subdivision team from the Mountain West Conference, before hosting San Diego on Sept. 10.
After playing the Toreros for the fourth time in the last five years, Cal Poly will play its final non-conference contest Sept. 17 at South Dakota State, an NCAA FCS playoff qualifier in 2015.
The Mustangs open Big Sky play at home against Montana on Sept. 24, marking the third straight year the two teams will meet in football. The game will be the first in a 10-game Big Sky package televised by ROOT SPORTS. The Mustangs also will host Big Sky games against rival UC Davis in the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe on Oct. 22, Eastern Washington on Nov. 5 and Northern Colorado on Nov. 19. Eastern Washington's three-year reign atop the Big Sky standings ended last fall. Cal Poly's Big Sky games Portland State on Oct. 15, Sacramento State on Oct. 29 and Weber State on Nov. 12. The Mustangs do not play Idaho State, Montana State, Northern Arizona and defending champion Southern Utah in the 13-team league this fall.

"It's another challenging schedule" said Walsh. "Once again we have 11 Division I games. We have chosen not to play Division II schools because we feel that playing only Division I teams is best in the development of our program. "Nevada was in a bowl game last year and South Dakota State was ranked as high as No. 3 last season with a lot of guys coming back," Walsh added. "Plus we play three of the best up-and-coming teams in the Big Sky in North Dakota, Weber State and Northern Colorado."

Cal Poly Football History -- Emmy Award Winner John Madden
Legendary NFL broadcaster and former Cal Poly football player John Madden called his final NFL game in 2008 after three seasons with NBC on its Sunday Night Football telecast. He worked for four seasons with Al Michaels as expert analyst for “Monday Night Football” on ABC. Madden, who is synonymous with NFL football for millions of fans nationwide, brought his ability to explain the game’s finer points along with his unique sense of humor to Monday Night Football in 2002 after 21 seasons as a game analyst for CBS and Fox. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has honored Madden with an unprecedent-

casting career at CBS in 1980. Before coaching in Oakland, Madden was the defensive coordinator at San Diego State from 1964-1966 where the Aztecs were ranked first among small colleges with a 26-4 record. From 19601963 Madden coached at Hancock College in Santa Maria. Madden started on both the offensive and defensive lines as a player for Cal Poly in 1957 and 1958 and was voted to the all-conference team. He was also a catcher on the school’s baseball team. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1959 and a Master of Arts degree in 1961, both from Cal Poly. The Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the 21st round of the 1958 NFL draft, but a knee injury in his rookie season prematurely ended his career. Madden is also the author of several books. His latest effort is a cookbook titled “John Madden’s Ultimate Tailgating” released in 1998. His first four books — “Hey Wait a Minute, I wrote a Book,” “One Knee Equals Two Feet (and Everything Else You Wanted To Know About Football),” “One Size Doesn’t Fit All,” and “All Madden,” each written with New York Times sports columnist Dave Anderson — all reached the New York Times best-seller list. Born April 10, 1936 in Austin, Minnesota, Madden was raised in Daly City. He now resides in Pleasanton with his wife, Virginia. The couple, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2009, has two sons and five grandchildren.

Cal Poly Head Football Coach Tim Walsh
im Walsh, who has guided the Mustangs to the No. 1 ranking in team rushing offense each of the past three seasons, was named Cal Poly’s 16th head football coach on Jan. 9, 2009. After guiding the Mustangs to a 4-7 mark in his first campaign, Walsh turned the program around with three consecutive winning seasons (7-4, 6-5, 93), a Great West Conference title in 2011 and, in his fourth year at the helm of the Mustangs, a share of the Big Sky Conference crown and an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth in 2012. Cal Poly finished 7-5 two years ago and, after a 4-7 mark in 2015, the Mustangs are 20-12 in their first four seasons in the Big Sky. Now in his eighth year at the helm of the Mustangs, Walsh was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the United States Military Academy for two seasons before arriving in San Luis Obispo. “Tim Walsh relishes his role as an educator at Cal Poly," said Mustang director of athletics Don Oberhelman. "He embraces our high academic standards and has built an excellent football program with these standards as the cornerstone. "Tim fully understands the academic demands of Cal Poly students and our Learn by Doing philosophy," Oberhelman added. "I can't imagine a better marriage between a football coach and a university than what we have with Tim Walsh at Cal Poly." Walsh replaced Rich Ellerson, the Mustangs’ head football coach for eight seasons. Ellerson was named head coach at Army on Dec. 26, 2008. “We had several outstanding applicants from which to choose, but I am thrilled we were able to hire a person with such outstanding credentials to direct this program,” then-director of athletics Alison Cone said of Walsh in 2009. “He is a high-character, high-quality individual who brings great passion and enthusiasm to our campus.” "You couldn’t ask for a better coach than Tim Walsh,” said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. “Besides his understanding of football and his outstanding credentials, he knows how to lead student athletes to live the Mustang Way -- with pride, honor, integrity and excellence both on and off the field.” Walsh has compiled a 160-119 record in 25 seasons as a college head coach, including four years at Sonoma State (27-14 from 1989-92), 14 more seasons at Portland State (90-68 from 1993-2006) and seven at Cal Poly (43-37 from 2009-15). He guided Sonoma State to the Northern California Athletic Conference title in 1991 (ending UC Davis’ streak of 20 consecutive conference titles), a pair of NCAA Division II playoff berths while at Sonoma State and four more postseason berths while at Portland State. “I have a tremendous working knowledge of Cal Poly, its history and current status,” Walsh said at the time of his hiring. “The combination of a tremendous academic university, a tremendous area to recruit and live, and a football program that’s winning all added up to a great opportunity for me. “My goals are to continue to recruit student-athletes whose goals are to be the best they can be, both in the class and on the field, and become quality young men,” Walsh added. “If we do that, winning won’t be a problem. This is an opportunity to build a great program and develop a great relationship between the campus and the community at large.”

Ted Tollner, former Mustang quarterback who has held numerous coaching positions at the college and professional levels, praised the hiring of Walsh. “He did an excellent job at Portland State and is extremely well respected in the profession,” said Tollner. “Cal Poly had some great candidates for the position and I think he’s an excellent choice. He will keep the program moving forward and continue the success it has had in recent years. “People who have worked for him have great respect for his total abilities from a recruiting standpoint, his communication with players, his sound philosophy and his winning record,” Tollner added. “His track record speaks for itself.” Added Bobby Beathard, also a former Mustang who has held numerous positions in the NFL, including scout, personnel director and general manager, "Tim Walsh is a terrific choice. He will be a tireless recruiter, he knows what athletes are and what kind of athletes will fit into the program. "I am excited about him. it's a great choice," Beathard added. "When you find a guy that is really good for you, you grab him and I am glad Cal Poly hired him." A charismatic speaker and motivator, Walsh guided Sonoma State to three winning seasons in four years at the helm of the Seawolves and 10 more above-.500 campaigns in his 14-year term at Portland State. With the Vikings, Walsh coached 14 All-Americans and 11 Academic All-Americans. Teri Mariani, who was director of athletics at Portland State when Walsh accepted the duties of offensive coordinator at Army, said at the time of his departure that “Tim showed great loyalty to our program and led us through a transition to Division I that a lot of coaches wouldn’t have wanted to do. He has had proven success both on the football field and off, and he’s always been such a team player within our department. “Two words that describe him in my eyes are loyalty and class,” Mariani added. “In his 14 years (at Portland State), he has never done one thing that could change that opinion of him." Portland State joined the Big Sky Conference in 1996. During Walsh’s 11 seasons when the Vikings were in the Big Sky, he coached players who earned

The 2010 Mustang squad also finished 4-1 at home en route to a 7-4 mark. The Mustangs earned six come-from-behind victories, split six games on a very difficult road schedule one year after going winless (0-6) and winning three straight games late in the year to put Cal Poly in a position to compete for a playoff berth. Cal Poly’s triple-option offense finished fourth in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 252.91 yards a game, and 14th in rushing defense, allowing only 106.82 yards a contest. The Mustangs also were No. 3 in punt returns and No. 16 in both time of possession and sacks allowed. Cal Poly finished the 2010 season with national rankings of No. 24 in The Sports Network media poll and No. 23 in the Football Championship Subdivision Coaches Poll. The Mustangs were ranked in the top 25 of both polls for the final 11 weeks of the regular season.

The 2013 Mustangs finished No. 1 in the FCS in rushing offense, No. 2 in sacks allowed, No. 19 in scoring defense and No. 25 against the rush. Defensive tackle Sullivan Grosz was named Big Sky co-defensive player of the year, earned eight All-American awards and was joined by offensive guard Lefi Letuligasenoa, fullback Akaninyene Umoh and safety Alex Hubbard on the all-conference first team.

Cal Poly Head Football Coach Tim Walsh
14-year span. While the 2015 squad slipped to 4-7 facing arguably the toughest schedule in school history, Cal Poly still finished No. 1 in rushing offense and averaged 33.8 points a contest, No. 22 in the FCS. Fullback Joe Protheroe was named to the All-Big Sky first team and quarterback Chris Brown surpassed the 3,000-yard mark in career rushing and passing. A Serra High School (San Mateo, Calif.) graduate, Walsh played football at UC Riverside in the mid-1970s as a backup quarterback and earned a bachelor’s degree in history in 1977. He began his coaching career at his high school alma mater, Serra, spending four years (1977-80) as an assistant coach before becoming head coach (1981-85) at Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward. Walsh moved into the college coaching ranks in 1986, becoming an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Santa Clara for one season. In 1987 and 1988, Walsh was offensive coordinator at Sonoma State before becoming head coach of the Seawolves (then the Cossacks) in 1989. His first season in Rohnert Park produced a 4-6 mark, but Walsh guided Sonoma State to 7-3, 9-2 and 7-3 records in his final three years there. Walsh embarked upon a 14-year head coaching career at Portland State in 1993, guiding the Vikings to NCAA Division II playoff berths each of his first three seasons. Portland State elevated its athletics program to Division I in 1996 and, though the Vikings struggled in the first three years at that level, there was steady progression -from 3-8 to 4-7 and 5-6. The 1999 Viking
team began a string of seven winning campaigns in eight seasons, including a Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) playoff berth in 2000. Walsh piloted Portland State to a quartet of second-place finishes in the Big Sky along with a third and three fourth-place finishes. In 14 seasons at the helm, Walsh’s Vikings were 62-21 at home. He earned two wins against FBS schools -- Hawaii in 2001 and New Mexico in 2006 -- and was 3-0 against Cal Poly while at Portland State along with a 2-1 mark against the Mustangs while at Sonoma State. Walsh was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award (FCS Coach of the Year) in 1999. In 2008, Walsh’s second season at Army, the Black Knights finished ninth in the Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing offense (241.42 yards per game), fourth in sacks allowed (1.00) and 15th in time of possession (31:45). While at Army, Walsh’s recruiting re-sponsibilities included nine Western states. The list of coaches who were assistants under Walsh includes Dan Hawkins (Colorado), Gary Patterson (Texas Christian) and Chris Peterson (Boise State). National Football League players who competed under Walsh’s tutelage include -- from Sonoma State -- offensive lineman Larry Allen (Dallas) -- and from Portland State -- tight end Tony Curtis (Dallas), wide receiver Shaun Bodiford (Green Bay), linebacker Jordan Senn (Indianapolis) and linebacker Adam Hayward (Tampa Bay). Walsh and his wife, Jody, have four children: Luke (35), Casey (34), Sean (30) and Megan (27).

Defense Rallies for 59-30 Victory Over Offense in 2016 Spring Game
The gold-clad offense scored on the first drive, but the defense with the white jerseys came back to dominate the second half and won the 2016 Cal Poly Spring Football Game 59-30 on a sunny and breezy afternoon in Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Senior quarterback Dano Graves engineered a 70-yard, 12-play drive to open the final scrimmage of Spring Camp, junior fullback Joe Protheroe capping the march with a three-yard run. Andrew Barna broke off a 48-yard scoring run midway through the first half as the offense built an early lead under a modified scoring system that allows the offense to score points for first downs as well as for plays of 25 or more yards. The Mustang defense, however, took advantage of four turnovers by the offense, all lost fumbles, for six points each as well as nine three-and-out drives worth three points each to pull away in the second half. Senior linebacker Charlie Davis put an exclamation point on the scrimmage by intercepting a fumble in mid air and scampering 40 yards for a defensive touchdown on the final play. "I was very happy with the way the defense came back," said Mustang head coach Tim Walsh. "There were a lot of good things by the defense and I was really pleased with how some of the younger players ran around and made some big plays." In particular, redshirt freshman linebacker Noah Thompson earned four tackles, all for lost yardage, including two sacks, and also was credited with a quarterback hurry, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. Senior defensive end Josh Letuligasenoa contributed a sack, another tackle for lost yardage, a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry. "There were a lot of positives on the defensive side," Walsh added. "We were sloppy with the ball on offense, but if you go back to when Dano played on that first series, there were some positives on offense as well. "And we came out fairly healthy and that's what we were hoping for, too." Cal Poly's Triple Opton offense netted 267 total yards on 70 plays, including 200 yards on the ground. Senior slot back DJ Peluso rushed for 44 yards on just four carries, including a 32-yard romp, and blocked a punt while junior fullback Jared
Quarterback Dano Graves, protected by Raven Middleton, drove Mustangs 70 yards on opening drive of 2016 Spring Game.
Mohamed finished with 33 yards on five trips to lead the ball carriers. Redshirt freshman fullback Raven Middleton picked up 32 yards on eight carries for the offense, which collected 13 first downs, most of them in the first half during the two scoring drives. Graves completed three of four passes for 33 yards. Leading the defense in tackles was senior linebacker Chris Santini with seven followed by redshirt freshman defensive back Kitu Humphrey and Carter Nichols, each with six.

Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs Expand to 24 Teams
Frisco, Texas, will be the host site for the NCAA Division I Football Championship game for the seventh straight year. Frisco emerged from a pool of several cities that submitted bids to serve as the host site for the championship game for three years, beginning with the 2010 season, and the contract has been extended twice. Hosted by the Southland Conference, the 2016 championship game will be played at Toyota Stadium on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2017. The championship game is the culmination of an expanded 24-team championship bracket. As a result of the expansion to 20 teams six years ago, the game is played a few weeks later than in years past. Cal Poly qualified for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in 2005, 2008 and 2012. Eastern Washington earned the 2010 title in the first game since the championship was moved from
Chattanooga, Tenn., while North Dakota State captured the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 crowns. The Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) includes the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship, in addition to two conferences who choose not to participate in the football championship, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high-level competition, student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience. Big Sky teams have made 13 total appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision national title game. The Big Sky has been represented in the playoffs by at least two teams in 30 of the past 32 years.

Ten Big Sky Football Games to be Televised by ROOT SPORTS This Fall
SEATTLE, Wash. -- The 2016 ROOT SPORTS broadcast schedule of Big Sky Conference football games kicks off Sept. 24 with Cal Poly's Big Sky opener against Montana inside Alex G. Spanos Stadium. A total of 10 games will be broadcast by ROOT SPORTS in its fifth year of a multi-year partnership with the Big Sky Conference. All 10 Big Sky Conference football games will be produced and televised in high-definition, with many of the games available in both the Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions. "We are pleased to continue our strong partnership with the Big Sky Conference, and we look forward to another entertaining and exciting football season in 2016," said Mark Jorgensen, SVP/General Manager of ROOT SPORTS. "Big Sky football continues to be
programming that our viewers desire." The Grizzlies had an up-and-down season in 2015, opening the campaign with a victory over top-ranked North Dakota State before losing their starting quarterback to injury for most of the season. Cal Poly beat the Grizzlies, 20-19, in a non-conference game in Missoula in 2015 as Alex Vega kicked a 49-yard field goal with four seconds remaining. Nevertheless, Montana advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs, beating South Dakota State in the opening round. Cal Poly featured the nation's top rushing attack for the third straight year and figures to continue the momentum in 2016. Big Sky Conference football action will continue every weekend with a single game of
the week through the final weekend of the 2016 regular season. ROOT SPORTS earned its second Sports Emmy in early June recognizing the 2016 production of Big Sky football.

2015: A Season of ‘Frustration’
“It was a frustrating season for all.” That is how Cal Poly head coach Tim Walsh summed up the 2015 football season, his seventh at the helm, after his Mustangs finished 4-7 overall and 3-5 for an eighthplace tie with Northern Colorado and Montana State in the Big Sky Conference. “We would have had more control of our destiny this year if we held onto the football on offense,” Walsh added. Facing what probably was the most challenging schedule in program history -- nine of the 11 teams on the docket were ranked at one time or another during the season -- Cal Poly sprinted out of the gate with a 20-19 victory at perennial FCS power Montana, thanks to a 49-yard field goal by redshirt freshman Alex Vega with four seconds to play. But the Mustangs lost six of their next seven games, a streak that began with Cal Poly tied 21-21 late in the third quarter at Arizona State of the Pac-12 and ended with the Mustangs losing nine fumbles combined in Big Sky losses to Portland State and Southern Utah. Cal Poly let a 21-13 third-quarter lead get away against the 9-2 Vikings and were within two points, 33-31, midway through the third quarter at 8-3 Southern Utah. The top three teams in the Big Sky this season are the champion Thunderbirds, runner-up Portland State and third-place Montana. “The turnovers this year were extremely disappointing,” Walsh said. “We produced a lot of yards rushing, a lot of first downs and we were in the top 25 in scoring as well. It was a great run, but the fumbles were critical and they really, really hurt us.” Cal Poly managed to capture the mythical California state FCS title with wins over Sacramento State and UC Davis, but cast in the role of spoiler against potential playoff Quarterback Chris Brown rushed for over 3,000 yards and also passed for participant North Dakota, the Mustangs fell over 3,000 yards in his Mustang career. Twice he caught a touchdown pass, behind 35-0 and couldn’t recover, closing out threw a touchdown pass and ran for a touchdown pass in a game. the season with a 45-21 setback. Montana, Portland State and Southern Utah represented the Big Sky in the FCS playoffs. Despite 7-4 overall marks, North Dakota 2015 RESULTS and Northern Arizona were not extended playoff invitations.

career, quarterback Chris Brown scored a touchdown by rushing, passing and receiving. He also accomplished the feat at Weber State in 2014. Another lofty accomplishment for the senior signal caller was reaching the milestones of 3,000 career yards in both rushing and passing. With his 63 yards rushing and 211 yards passing in the season finale against North Dakota, Brown wrapped up his Mustang career with 3,034 yards rushing and 3,164 yards passing. Brown smashed through the 1,000-yard mark in rushing for the second consecutive year, finishing with 1,084 yards and 13 touchdowns this fall. He is No. 5 in career rushing yards, No. 8 in career passing yards, No. 1 in career rushing touchdowns (38) and tied for No. 1 in career touchdowns (75) with Jonathan Dally. Junior slot back Kori Garcia rushed for 780 yards and five touchdowns while sophomore fullback Joe Protheroe, the lone Mustang to earn first-team All-Big Sky Conference honors this fall, added 779 yards and six touchdowns. Brown completed 62 of 113 passes (55 percent) for 864 yards and 12 scores. His favorite targets were senior wide receiver Willie Tucker with 17 receptions for 383 yards and six touchdowns and Garcia with 10 receptions for 59 yards. For the first time in school history, Cal Poly had four 100-yard rushers in a single game. Despite the 54-37 loss at Southern Utah, Kyle Lewis rushed for 121 yards and four touchdowns while Brown added 110 yards and one score, junior slot back DJ
Peluso 108 yards and sophomore fullback Jared Mohamed 107 yards. Defensive highlights include junior safety B.J. Nard’s three interceptions in the season opener at Montana. Senior safety Kaulin Blair added a pair of thefts while senior linebacker Tu’uta Inoke led the team in tackles with 97 (54 solo). Junior linebacker Joseph
Offensive tackle Weston Walker played in every game during his fouryear Mustang career, starting 32 of the final 35 contests.
89 Center Stephen Sippel started his final 35 games as a Mustang snapping the ball. He earned Big Sky All-Academic honors all four years as a player and, last fall, was named to the AllBig Sky third team after twice earning honorable mention praise. Twice he was named to the FCS Athletic Directors Association Academic AllStar Team.
Gigantino III earned 9.5 tackles for lost yardage and senior linebacker Burton De Koning led the team with three sacks and four quarterback hurries. Senior Stephen Pyle averaged 40.1 yards per punt and made three of four field goals, including a 48-yarder against Montana. Eighteen seniors played their final game as Mustangs in the North Dakota contest. Cal Poly lost three wide receivers, a trio of defensive backs and two stalwarts along the offensive front -- center Stephen Sippel and tackle Weston Walker. The quarterback position is open as well, and a pair of starting linebackers departed -- De Koning and Inoke. “We have enough players in the program to be competitive next year and replace the starters we lose,” said Walsh, “and we have several redshirts who are growing up and will be capable replacements as well. We have some good young players who can step up and help us.” Dano Graves utilized his redshirt year last fall and will head into spring camp as the leading candidate at quarterback, challenged by Khaleel Jenkins, who started one game as a true freshman last year. “Offensively, I feel good with Dano and Jenkins at quarterback,” said Walsh, “and I feel good about the young guys who were behind Sippel and Walker. They don’t have a lot of playing experience yet, but we should be all right.” The wide receivers who have played their final game as Mustangs are Tucker, Roland Jackson Jr. and Jordan Hines. “Those guys can block and wide receivers

need to know how to block in our system,” said Walsh. “Kory Fox, Carson McMurtrey and Alex Egurbide need to step up and be good blockers and receivers.” With the departure of cornerbacks Karlton Dennis, Chris Fletcher and Fernando Cabico along with safety Kaulin Blair, the coaching staff will look for sophomore cornerbacks Matt McNab and Jerek Rosales along with sophomore safeties Aaryn Bouzos and Kevin Griffin, among others, to fill the gaps. “Overall, we can line up and be competitive with anyone,” Walsh said. Cal Poly football, presented by French Hospital Medical Center, was No. 1 in the FCS in rushing offense (309.1) in 2013 and 2014 (351.8 yards) and exceeded those totals with 387.3 yards per game on the ground this fall. Cal Poly’s 4,260 yards rushing broke the school and conference records despite the fact the Mustangs played one less game this season than in both 2013 and 2014.
The Mustangs’ Triple Option spread offense netted over 400 yards four times in 2014 and exceeded that mark six times in 2015, including a season-high 508 yards against Southern Utah and 503 more against Eastern Washington. Cal Poly also amassed 499 yards against Idaho State, 491 against UC Davis and 420 against Portland State. The Mustangs have won 56 of their last 72 home contests. Overall, Cal Poly has won 57 of its last 96 games (60 percent) and 91 of 149 contests (61 percent) going back to the 2002 finale and has won 17 of its last 36 and 36 of 74 on the road (3-4 in 2014, 2-4 in 2015). Cal Poly captured four Great West Conference titles in the eight-year history of the league (2004, 2005, 2008, 2011) before moving to the Big Sky in 2012, capturing the Big Sky championship in its first year, and has earned NCAA Division I FCS playoff berths in 2005, 2008 and 2012.
Wide receiver Willie Tucker completed his Cal Poly career with 77 catches for 1,477 yards and 17 touchdowns.

This fall, the Mustangs play just one FBS school, visiting Nevada of the Mountain West Conference on Sept. 2. In 2002 Cal Poly played two FBS opponents in one season for the first time in school history
(Toledo and Kent State), and did it again in 2003 (UTEP and Akron), 2006 (San Jose State and San Diego State), 2008 (San Diego State and Wisconsin), 2009 (Ohio and San Jose State), 2011 (San Diego State and Northern Illinois) and 2013 (Fresno State and Colorado State).
Cal Poly is 4-14 in its last 18 games against FBS schools, defeating UTEP 34-13 in the 2003 opener, San Diego State 16-14 in 2006 and 30-28 in 2008 and Wyoming 24-22 in 2012. The Mustangs, 5-26 against FBS schools since 1980, play at San Jose State in 2017, Oregon State in 2019 and Cal in 2020.

Game 1
Game 2
MISSOULA, Mont. – Redshirt freshman Alex Vega kicked a 49yard field goal with four seconds remaining as Cal Poly defeated No. 12 Montana 20-19 in a season-opening football game Saturday night before 26,065 in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Trailing by two points, Cal Poly held Montana on downs with 1:17 to play and drove from its own 32-yard line to Montana's 32 before seventh-year head coach Tim Walsh sent Vega in to kick the game winner. Senior quarterback Chris Brown earned his eighth career 100yard game, rushing for 130 yards on 24 carries. He scored once on a 60-yard run late in the first quarter to tie the game at 7-7. Sophomore fullback Joe Protheroe added 112 yards on 29 trips as Cal Poly amassed 330 yards on the ground. Brown completed four of 12 passes for 56 yards, including a 36yard scoring toss to Roland Jackson Jr. with 4:52 left in the second quarter, tying the game at 14-14. The 82-yard drive included a 28yard run by Brown. Senior Stephen Pyle kicked a career-long 48-yard field goal with 7:56 to go in the third quarter for a 17-14 Mustang advantage, but Montana tied the game again on a 24-yard field goal by Daniel Sullivan with 8:52 left in the game. Montana took a 19-17 lead with 3:43 to play when Brown was called for intentional grounding in the end zone. The Grizzlies were held on downs twice, setting the stage for Vega's game-winning kick. Vega's longest field goal at Gilroy High School was 37 yards. Junior safety B.J. Nard, playing his first foofball game since 2011, intercepted three passes, the 10th Mustang in school history to do so. Last player to do it was Kiko Griffin in 1996. Montana quarterback Brady Gustafson completed 40 of 64 passes for 353 yards and one touchdown, a six-yard pass to Ellis Henderson 20 seconds before halftime. Gustafson also ran one yard for another score in the first period.
TEMPE, Arizona – Quarterback Mike Bercovici passed for three touchdowns, including a pair in the final eight minutes to snap a 2121 tie, as Arizona State of the Pac-12 held off Cal Poly of the Big Sky, 35-21, in a non-conference game in Sun Devils Stadium. Cal Poly held its own for more than three quarters, battling the Sun Devils on even terms before Bercovici hit Kody Kohl with a 10yard scoring pass with 7:36 to play and Tim White with a four-yarder with two minutes remaining. Bercovici completed 23 of 35 passes for 283 yards and was sacked just once, eight fewer than in last week's 38-17 loss against Texas A&M in Houston. Cal Poly gained most of its yards on the ground, led by sophomore fullback Joe Protheroe's second 100-yard game in as many starts this season. Protheroe netted 130 yards on 28 carries and scored once while fellow sophomore fullback Jared Mohamed added 75 yards on 11 trips. Senior quarterback Chris Brown completed just four of eight passes for 46 yards, but one of his completions went for 21 yards and a touchdown to tight end Reagan Enger. Brown also rushed for 25 yards on 15 carries, scoring on a one-yard run late in the second quarter. Cal Poly overcame 14-0 and 21-7 deficits to catch the Sun Devils at 21-21 on the opening drive of the third quarter. Brown scored from one yard out with nine seconds remaining in the second quarter. Cal Poly also got the ball to start the third quarter and marched 75 yards on just eight plays. Brown found Enger open in the right corner of the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown pass, tying the game at 21-21 with 11:41 to play. Arizona State compiled advantages of 28-20 in first downs and 531-330 in total offense but Cal Poly had the edge in time of possession, 32:22 to 27:38.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Quarterback Aaron Bailey led a balanced offensive attack, scoring twice on the ground and throwing for another score, as No. 9 Northern Iowa jumped to a 21-point halftime lead and rolled past No. 17 Cal Poly. Before the seventh sellout in the nine-year history of Alex G. Spanos Stadium, the visiting Panthers compiled 204 yards on the ground and 233 more through the air. Cal Poly amassed just 10 fewer yards than Northern Iowa but turned the ball over three times. Bailey scored on runs of 25 and 2 yards and hit Braden Lehman with a seven-yard scoring pass to lead Northern Iowa offensively. He was 15 of 25 through the air and rushed for 57 yards on 11 carries. Tyvis Smith added 88 rushing yards on 13 carries, scoring on a one-yard run to cap Northern Iowa's 21-point first-quarter explosion. Savon Huggins opened the scoring with a seven-yard run less than two minutes into the game. Cal Poly senior quarterback Chris Brown scampered 42 yards early in the second quarter to close Northern Iowa's advantage to 21-7, but the Mustangs were held off the scoreboard until the final six minutes. Brown and fullback Jared Mohamed both scored on two-yard runs to complete the scoring. Cal Poly produced several other potential scoring drives. The first was to the Northern Iowa 12 before Deiondre' Hall intercepted a Brown pass. In the second half, the Mustangs were stopped on downs at the UNI 10- and 15-yard lines. Brown compiled his ninth career 100-yard game and second this season, rushing 26 times for 184 yards and a pair of scores. Redshirt freshman Alex Suchesk added 70 yards on eight trips, including a 24-yard romp late in the game, setting up the final Mustang score. Brown was 12-for-21 passing for 77 yards and was intercepted twice. DJ Peluso and Kori Garcia both grabbed three receptions.
BOZEMAN, Mont. – Junior quarterback Dakota Prukop passed for 399 yards and three touchdowns as No. 15 Montana State sprinted to a 21-0 lead in the first 12 minutes and rolled to victory over No. 20 Cal Poly in a Big Sky Conference opener for both schools. Prukop completed 19 of 26 passes, including two scoring strikes to Beau Sandland and another to Jayshawn Gates, and running back Chad Newell scored three times on runs of 1, 4 and 13 yards for the Bobcats. Cal Poly, which surrendered 602 total yards to Montana State, suffered its third straight loss. Cal Poly produced a pair of 100-yard rushers – sophomore fullback Joe Protheroe netting a career-high 156 yards on 27 carries, his third 100-yard game of the season, and junior slot back Kori Garcia adding 114 yards on 19 trips, his sixth career 100-yard performance – but Montana State never punted and built an insurmountable 45-21 advantage heading into the final period. Mustang quarterback Chris Brown completed just six of 15 passes for 50 yards and has yet to surpass the 100-yard mark in passing this season. Garcia caught two of Cal Poly's six completions. Trailing 28-7 early in the second quarter, Cal Poly made a game of it by scoring two touchdowns before halftime on a 36-yard run by Protheroe and a 22-yard pass from Chris Brown to Willie Tucker. The Mustangs trailed 31-21 at the break and received the kickoff opening the third quarter with a chance to pull to within three points. Instead, Montana State's defense forced a three-and-out and the Bobcats scored on their next two possessions to pull away. Cal Poly's defensive leaders were linebacker Tu'uta Inoke with 10 tackles and B.J. Nard and Burtin De Koning, each with seven. There were no turnovers in the game by either team. Cal Poly had beaten Montana State eight straight times dating back to 1997 and was playing its first game in Bozeman since 2004.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Junior slot back Kori Garcia rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns while senior quarterback Chris Brown ran for two scores and passed for two more as Cal Poly snapped a three-game losing streak by beating Idaho State. Garcia earned his second consecutive 100-yard game and seventh of his Mustang career, carrying the ball 18 times, averaging 8.1 yards per carry and scoring on runs of 5, 37 and 6 yards. Brown added 132 yards on 19 trips, scoring twice on runs of 5 and 41 yards. He also completed five of seven passes for 95 yards, including scoring strikes of 8 and 59 yards to Willie Tucker. Brown has three 100-yard games this season and 10 in his Mustang career. Cal Poly jumped to a 28-7 advantage in the first 23 minutes of the game. Idaho State battled back to within 28-20 on touchdown passes from Michael Sanders to Madison Mangum spanning 3 and 13 yards late in the second quarter. In the third period, however, Cal Poly took advantage of two Idaho State fumbles to pull away. Cal Poly almost had three 100-yard rushers as sophomore fullback Jared Mohamed finished with 86 yards on 24 carries. The Mustangs rushed for 499 yards and compiled 605 yards in total offense. Mustang senior linebacker Tu'uta Inoke lifted his season total of forced fumbles to four, among the nation's leaders, and led Cal Poly defensively with eight tackles and a pass breakup. Team captain and senior safety Kaulin Blair notched his first career interception. Cal Poly compiled a huge 39:24 to 20:36 advantage in time of possession and converted on 11 of 19 third-down plays and four of five fourth-down plays. The Mustangs wore pink socks Saturday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
CHENEY, Wash. – Eastern Washington scored 22 points to overcome a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit and scored on the first play of overtime to defeat Cal Poly in a Big Sky Conference game. Junior quarterback Jordan West connected with Kendrick Bourne on a 25-yard touchdown pass as the No. 7/8 Eagles took a 42-35 lead in the extra period. Cal Poly answered quickly on its fifth play as senior quarterback Chris Brown scored from one yard out. Mustang head coach Tim Walsh elected to go for two points on the PAT and the win but junior slot back Kori Garcia fumbled the pitch from Brown out of bounds at the one-yard line, ending the game. Cal Poly trailed only once in the game, at 6-0 when West hit Zach Wimberly with a 13-yard scoring pass less than three minutes into the game. Brandyn Bangsund missed the extra-point kick. The Mustangs scored five minutes later on a two-yard run by Brown and Stephen Pyle's extra-point kick gave Cal Poly a 7-6 lead. The Mustangs went on to lead the game by 15 points at 21-6, 28-13 and 35-20 before Eastern Washington scored twice in the final 5 minutes, 11 seconds to send the game into overtime. For the fourth time this season, Cal Poly's relentless running attack produced a pair of 100-yard rushers and amassed a seasonhigh 503 yards on the ground for the game. Brown finished with 173 yards on 31 carries, his fourth 100-yard game of the season and 11th of his Mustang career.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Jonathan Gonzales kicked a 27-yard field goal with 33 seconds remaining to lift No. 13/14 Portland State to a Big Sky Conference victory over Cal Poly. In its Homecoming Game on Mustang Family Weekend, Cal Poly tied the game at 35-35 on a 29-yard run around left end by Kyle Lewis with 2:34 to play. Portland State then drove 52 yards on 10 plays to set up Gonzales' game-winning kick. Cal Poly, despite playing without starting quarterback Chris Brown, compiled advantages of 420-154 in rushing yards, 536-386 in total offense, 27-20 in first downs and a 35-to-25 minute edge in time of possession, but lost for the fifth time in its last six games. Cal Poly, which lost four fumbles, overcame two early lost fumbles and built a 21-13 lead early in the third quarter on a one-yard run by fullback Jared Mohamed. The game was tied at 21-21, 28-28 and 35-35 before Gonzales kicked his game winner. Junior slot back Kori Garcia produced his third 100-yard game of the year and eighth of his Mustang career, netting 131 yards on 18 carries. Quarterback Khaleel Jenkins, playing his first game in a Mustang uniform, added 93 yards on 16 trips, including a 50-yard touchdown romp late in the second quarter. He completed three of 14 passes for 59 additional yards. Sophomore fullback Joe Protheroe rushed for 75 yards, Kyle Lewis 55 yards and Mohamed 46 yards. All three scored one touchdown. Other Mustang score was on a flea flicker as wide receiver Kory Fox took a pitch from Jenkins and hit Kyle Lewis with a 57-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter, tying the game at 28-28. Portland State quarterback Alex Kuresa completed 16 of 25 passes for 232 yards and two scores. He also rushed for 101 yards and two more touchdowns, runs of 40 and 15 yards, and hit Josh Kraght on a two-point conversion pass.
CEDAR CITY, Utah -- In a game featuring four Cal Poly 100-yard rushers, No. 24 Southern Utah returned three Mustang fumbles for touchdowns in a wild Big Sky Conference football victory. Mike Needham returned two of the miscues 9 and 68 yards for scores and All-American defensive end James Cowser scooped up another Mustang fumble and returned it 55 yards for a score. Fullback Jared Mohamed (107 yards), slot back Kyle Lewis (121 yards), quarterback Chris Brown (110 yards) and slot back DJ Peluso (108 yards) all surpassed the 100-yard mark – the first time a quartet of Mustangs have done that in a single game – but Cal Poly suffered its sixth loss in seven games. Southern Utah, which earned its sixth straight win, had given up just nine points – three field goals – in four Big Sky games, but Cal Poly exploded for five touchdowns and a field goal, amassing 508 yards on the ground against a Thunderbird defense that had given up just 128 yards a contest. Five lost fumbles proved to be the Mustangs' undoing, negating the powerful Triple Option offense. Cal Poly also lost four fumbles in last week's loss to Portland State after losing just two fumbles in its first six games this season. Trailing by 16 points at halftime, Cal Poly pulled to within two points at 33-31 on a 41-yard touchdown run by Lewis and a 15yarder by Brown. The Mustangs were driving for the go-ahead score late in the third period when Mohamed's fumble was caught in midair by Needham, resulting in a 68-yard recovery and run. Cowser's 55-yard recovery and run nine second into the fourth quarter put the game out of reach for Cal Poly.

Game 10
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Five different Mustangs scored touchdowns and Cal Poly led all the way, snapping a three-game losing streak with a Big Sky victory over Sacramento State. Joe Protheroe, Jared Mohamed and Reagan Enger rushed for touchdowns and Jordan Hines and Kyle Lewis caught touchdown passes from Chris Brown. Sacramento State lost despite a 25-22 advantage in first downs and a two-minute edge in time of possession. Brown hit Hines with a 13-yard scoring pass in the first quarter and Lewis with a 29-yarder early in the second period for a 14-0 Cal Poly lead. Protheroe ran one yard and Mohamed scampered seven yards for scores and a 26-0 Mustang advantage in the third quarter. Sacramento State finally got on the scoreboard late in the third period on a two-yard run by Jordan Robinson, but Cal Poly answered with a 23-yard field goal by Alex Vega and a 70-yard romp up the middle by Enger to put the game away. Sacramento State was held to just 35 yards on the ground, the lowest total given up by the Mustang defense since Oct. 8, 2011, when Central Oklahoma managed just 10 rushing yards. Three weeks earlier, South Dakota State rushed for only 28 yards. Enger led the Mustang rushing attack with 91 yards on just six carries. Protheroe added 73 yards on 17 trips while Mohamed finished with 67 yards on nine carries. Brown completed six of seven passes for 95 yards, equaling his season high for passing yards set against Idaho State in early October. Lewis caught three passes for 34 yards and one score. Cal Poly's defense recorded four sacks, equalling a season high. End Kelly Shepard was in on two of them while linebacker Tu'uta Inoke logged a team-high 10 tackles. Cornerback Karlton Dennis added seven tackles and two pass breakups while tackle Marcus Paige-Allen blocked a Sacramento State field goal attempt.
DAVIS, Calif. – For the second time in his Cal Poly career, quarterback Chris Brown scored a touchdown by run, pass and receiving. Duplicating his feat of a year ago at Weber State, Brown led Cal Poly to victory over UC Davis in the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe. Brown surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight year, rushing for 160 yards on 17 carries and scoring once on a 22yard run. He also passed for over 100 yards for the first time this season, completing six of nine passes for 153 yards and three touchdowns – all to Willie Tucker spanning 56, 65 and 5 yards. And for good measure, Brown caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Kori Garcia in the first quarter. The visiting team has won the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe three straight years and UC Davis still leads the series, 18-17-2. Cal Poly amassed a season-high 674 yards in total offense, rushing for 491 yards and passing for 183 more. The Mustangs never trailed, but were tied at 7-7 and 14-14 before the Mustangs scored three consecutive touchdowns to build a 34-14 advantage late in the first half. UC Davis closed the gap to three points at 41-38 with 14 minutes to play in the game on a field goal and two touchdowns as Cal Poly fumbled the ball away twice. The Mustangs, however, regained control with Brown's five-yard touchdown pass to Tucker and a 19-yard run by slot back DJ Peluso in the final 10 minutes. Cal Poly assembled scoring drives of 64, 75, 68, 65, 74, 90 and 79 yards, but the one that stands out even more is a 99-yard, 20play march that used up 7 minutes and 43 seconds in the second quarter and featured a pair of fourth-down conversions, including a fourth-and-one play from the Mustangs' 10-yard line.

November 21, 2015 Alex G. Spanos Stadium, San Luis Obispo, CA Attn: 5,746
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Held to a season low in rushing yards, Cal Poly fell to North Dakota in the final game of the 2015 regular season for both teams in Alex G. Spanos Stadium. The newly named Fighting Hawks held Cal Poly's vaunted Triple Option attack, No. 1 in the Football Championship Subdivision in rushing the last three years, to just 153 yards, the lowest Mustang total since the 2011 season opener at San Diego State (137 yards). The Fighting Hawks, who entered the game giving up just 95 yards per game on the ground, scored the first 35 points of the game and never looked back, taking advantage of two Mustang fumbles and a goal-line stand at the one-yard line. Freshman running back John Santiago, the Big Sky leader in rushing, scored three times on runs of 14, 15 and 5 yards and finished with 117 yards on 27 carries. He has 1,459 yards on the year. Santiago has nine 100-yard games this season, accomplishing the feat in each of North Dakota's eight Big Sky contests. Sophomore quarterback Keaton Studsrud accounted for the other two scores, hitting Clive Georges with a 64-yard scoring pass and Luke Stanley with an eight-yarder. For the game, Studsrud completed 17 of 20 passes for 255 yards. Cal Poly finally ended the scoring drought midway through the third quarter as senior quarterback Chris Brown scored the first of his two touchdowns in the game, a three-yard run with 7:01 to go in the period. Brown also ran one yard for the final score of the game and hit Roland Jackson Jr. with a 61-yard pass with 10 seconds to go in the third quarter. Brown, who needed 29 yards on the ground and 65 more through the air to reach 3,000 career yards in each category, rushed for 63 yards on 21 carries and completed 11 of 19 passes for a seasonhigh 211 yards. Only two other active players in the FCS have 3,000 career yards both rushing and passing – Jacob Huesman of Chattanooga and John Robertson of Villanova.

Cal Poly played mostly high school and college freshman teams in the first 16 seasons. Then head coach Howie O’Daniels established a little history in his first year at the helm in 1933. His Mustangs enjoyed an undefeated season and did not allow a single point, something only 30 teams in the history of college football have accomplished. The Mustangs continued their defense in 1934, not giving up a single point until
the fifth game of the season. Cal Poly officially became a four-year school during the 1941 season and posted a 5-3-1 record under Coach O’Daniels. A 32-13 win over over San Diego State in ‘41 followed by a 51-0 win over San Francisco State highlighted the season. The Mutangs did not play football in 1943 and 1944 due to World War II.

Bruisers Jim Yates and Bud MacDougal provided the offensive punch much of that year.

Above left are George Cockerton (54) and Vic Buccola (57), who was an All-CCAA linemen in 1952 and 1953. Buccola later was AD at Cal Poly. Above right, the Mustang offensive line in 1963 was anchored by Bob Cardoza (52), team captain Gil Stork (51) and Frank Blakemore (55).
Coach Roy Hughes replaced Chuck Pavelko in 1950 and vowed, “In three years, we’ll be tough.” In 1953 he lived up to his promises with an undefeated season. The Mustangs were led by All-American Stan Sheriff along with Don Adams, Vic Buccola and quarterback Bob Neal while backs Perry Jeter and Alex Bravo led the nation in scoring. Some consider the 1958 team the best Mustang squad ever. Led by quarterbacks Bobby Bobby Beathard and Tom Beathard Klosterman, they were as tough as they come. Defensive linemen John Madden and Pat Lovell helped lead the team to 53 forced fumbles while allowing just eight touchdowns
all year and only 175.8 yards per game. Beathard’s astute knowledge and leadership abilities later helped him as a scout in the NFL and as part of the front office for seven Super Bowl teams, including four winning squads. He retired as General Manager of the San Diego Chargers and more recently served as an advisor for the Atlanta Falcons. Madden, a bruising tackle, went on to coach the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl triumph. After four seasons as color analyst for Monday Night Football on ABC, Madden moved over to NBC for its Sunday Night Football telecasts. Madden, who retired in 2009 has been honored with 14 Emmys for his work with all four major networks. He also was a catcher on the Cal Poly baseball team in the late 1950s. In the decade of the 1950s, Cal Poly compiled a 67-29-1 record. All 10 teams were coached by Hughes and the Mustangs beat such teams as San Diego State, Fresno State and Colorado State.

Fred Whittingham (66) and Gil Stork (51) were members of Cal Poly’s 1960 football team. Stork survived the crash; Whittingham was not on the plane.
Perry Jeter scampers for yardage during the undefeated 1953 season.
Tragedy struck the 1960 Cal Poly football team following a game at Bowling Green State University on Saturday, October 29, 1960. Immediately following takeoff at Toledo Airport, the plane carrying the team crashed and killed 22 people, including 16 Mustang football players, the team manager and a booster. On May 1, 1998, the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, IN, dedicated new bronze plaques honoring the Cal Poly men killed in the plane crash along with the victims of plane crashes involving football teams from Wichita State (1970) and Marshall University (1978). Dr. Everett Chandler, Dean of Students at Cal Poly at the time of the crash, helped unveil and dedicate the plaques. Mounted at the Hall of Fame, the plaques immortalize these individuals’ belief in the sport of football and how it symbolizes American society. The names of the deceased are listed for each univerTed Tollner sity on separate plaques. In 2001, Cal Poly announced plans to change the name of Mustang Stadium to Mustang Memorial Field at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. The Memorial Plaza project was completed in 2006 and formally dedicated on Sept. 29, 2006 (see inside back cover). After Cal Poly won just 22 of 67 games in seven seasons following the plane crash, Joe Harper was hired as the Mustangs’ head coach in 1968 and produced 7-3 and 6-4 marks in his first two seasons.

October 29, 1960 -- Cal Poly Plane Crash
"On Thanksgiving morning this year in the Coliseum, a 'Mercy Bowl' benefit game
will be played to help San Luis Obispo write off its obligations to the tragedy victims, the children they left behind them, and the survivors. My feeling is, it is not only their obligation. It is the obligation of all of us interested in athletics. I can think of no better way to give thanks on that day that we are here and healthy, than to contribute to those who are alone with only memories of that day."

The following is written on a memorial plaque on one of the peristyles at the Los Angeles Coliseum:
On Saturday night, October 29, 1960, a plane carrying the Cal Poly 1960 football team, which was returning from a football game with Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH, crashed at the Toledo, Ohio Airport. As a result of this crash, 16 players and the team manager were killed and many injured. To financially assist the families of these athletes, a football game of mercy between Bowling Green and Fresno State was sponsored and staged in the Coliseum on Thanksgiving, November 23, 1961. All proceeds were donated to the Cal Poly Memorial Fund for this purpose.
ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS: Prior to each home game, Cal Poly football players pay tribute to the 1960 football team at the memorial rock near the flagpole at the north end of Alex G. Spanos Stadium. For each road trip, the team loads up the buses near Mott Gym, drives to Alex G. Spanos Stadium and walks to the rock for reflection prior to departing campus.
A Mustang defense that included Tom Duggan, Greg Lee, Chris Smeland, Dave Quirk, Wayne Robinson and Tom Chantler led Cal Poly to an 8-0-1 record in 1972 and a trip to the Camellia Bowl for the NCAA Division II Championship of the Western United States at Hughes Stadium in Sacramento. After Mike Foley was injured Oct. 7 against Boise State, fullback Mike Thomas carried the load for the remainder of the season from out of the backfield. The Mustangs were ranked No. 3 in Division II by both the Associated Press and the UPI polls during the year. Cal Poly was also ranked No. 3 in total offense with 448 yards per game and No. 3 in scoring with 37.2 points per game. Running back Gary Davis began a stellar three-year Mustang career by assisting the 1973 squad to a 9-1 record. Davis went on to break most Cal Poly rushing records, finishing with 2,368 career yards. The 1976 Mustangs, with Joe Harper at the helm, finished 7-1-1, including a thrilling 17-15 win at Fresno State. The “Excitement Twins,” tailback Louis Jackson and receiver Robbie Martin, helped lead the 1978 squad to a 73 record and an NCAA Division II playoff berth. The two scored half of Cal Poly’s 38 touchdowns that year. Individually, Jackson led Division II in rushing the entire season and finished with 126.3 yards per game (including 267 vs. Portland State), while Martin had 23.1 receiving yards a game. The Mustangs suffered a 17-0 playoff loss to WinstonSalem State (NC) but would get their revenge two years later in the most memorable season in the history of Cal Poly football (see next page). Each of the 10 Mustang football teams in the 1970s posted a winning record, part of a string of 13 consecutive winning seasons under Harper. The streak ended in Harper’s last season, 1981, when Cal Poly went 4-5. Harper went on to coach at Northern Arizona and Cal Lutheran. Among Harper’s 96 wins were seven against Fresno State, three each against Boise State and Nevada and one against UNLV.

Mustangs Capture National Championship
No success was sweeter for the Mustangs than the 1980 season. Quarterback Craig Johnston and senior All-Americans Louis Jackson and Robbie Martin led the Mustangs to the NCAA Division II National Championship with a win over defending champion Eastern Illinois, 21-13, in the Zia Bowl at Albuquerque, NM. Martin scored all three touchdowns in the title game, including a diving 33-yard grab with 14:02 left. He also had a 42-yard punt return for the first Mustang TD. He finished the day with 164 yards to give the school its first NCAA title in footNCAA Division II ball.

Following the championship win over Eastern Illinois, Joe Harper was named Division II Coach of the Year. Cal Poly defeated eventual Division I-AA national champion Boise State 23-20 at home that year. Cal Poly managed only a 4-5 mark in 1981, Harper’s only losing campaign and his last as head coach of the Mustangs. Harper, whose 96 wins are the most by any Cal Poly football coach, went on to coach at Northern Arizona for three seasons and at Cal Lutheran for six years. Jim Sanderson coached the Mustangs to 6-5 and 6-4 seasons in five years at the helm before Lyle Setencich came on board in 1987. Cal Poly went 7-3, 5-4-1 and 5-5 in the first three seasons under Setencich before returning to the playoffs in 1990.

Mike Fisher is Cal Poly’s all-time career passing leader with 7,494 yards.
The winning continued in the 1990s. Coach Lyle Setencich led the Mustangs to their first postseason appearance since 1980 with a 10-1 record during the 1990 regular season before a loss to North Dakota State in the first round. Standout wide receiver Chris Thomas, who played with the Washington Redskins, St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in the NFL, helped lead the team to a 14-7 win over Cal State Northridge before another packed Mustang Stadium to propel the Mustangs into the Division II playoffs. In 1994, coach Andre Patterson came to Cal Poly from Washington State, where he was an assistant defensive coach, and led the Mustangs to instant success in the school’s first season competing at the Division I-AA level. The move proved to be the right thing to do as Cal Poly went 7-4 and captured the American West Conference title with an undefeated conference record, posting wins over Southern Utah, Cal State Northridge and Sacramento State. Quarterback Mike Fisher smashed eight school Cal Poly’s football training camp was held at Camp records and five conference marks with 2,536 yards Roberts in 1999 and 2000. Members of the 1999 passing. Fisher went on to become Cal Poly’s all-time squad pose on a tank during a hot August afternoon. passer by the time he finished in 1995. His strong supporting cast in 1994 included two explosive freshmen, running back Antonio Warren and wide receiver Kamil Loud. The Mustangs were ranked fifth nationally against the rush in their maiden season in Division I-AA. In 1997, the Larry Welsh era kicked off with a bang as the Mustangs went 10-1 and just missed making the I-AA playoffs despite a No.17 national ranking. Warren and Craig Young each rushed for more than 1,000 yards during the season and quarterback Alli Abrew finished the season as the No. 1-rated passer in all of Division I-AA. After a 7-0 start to the season, with wins over No. 16 Northern Iowa and I-A New Mexico State, the Mustangs fell for the first time on the road at Liberty. But a last-second win over Montana State and a 20-point whipping of previously undefeated Dayton at home capped a memorable season. While the team may have struggled the following three seasons, posting back-to-back-to-back 3-8 records, the Mustangs certainly entertained and continued to rewrite the record book. November 4, 2000 will be long remembered in the NCAA record book as one of the greatest offensive performances in recent memory. Quarterback Seth Burford and receiver Kassim Osgood hooked up for a record-setting afternoon against Northern Iowa at Mustang Stadium as Burford finished with a school-record 566 yards passing on the day while Osgood set a new national record with 376 yards receiving to go with his two touchdowns. He caught a school-record 17 passes in the game and was named I-AA Offensive Player of the Week by Sports Network while Burford was honored as the I-AA Player of the Week by ESPN. Osgood was named an Associated Press All-American and, after seven seasons with San Diego, two at Jacksonville and one at Detroit, he is now a San Francisco 49er.

Thirteen Cal Poly Athletics Teams Achieve Perfect APR Rate Scores
Thirteen Cal Poly intercollegiate athletics teams achieved perfect 1,000 Academic Progress Rate scores, according to figures released by the NCAA in April 2016. The list of teams is led by men’s and women’s golf, both of whom earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for posting scores in the top 10 percent of their sport. Both men’s and women’s golf posted 1,000 APR scores for the 2014-15 academic year and have four-year multi-rate APR scores of 1,000. Men’s golf has received Public Recognition Awards the last three years. The 11 other programs that have earned 1,000 APR scores during the 2014-15 academic year are men’s basketball, men’s soccer, men’s tennis, women’s cross country, softball, women’s swimming and diving, women’s tennis, women’s track and field (both indoor and outdoor) and women’s volleyball (both indoor and beach). No Cal Poly intercollegiate athletic teams face any penalty from the NCAA for the 2016-17 academic year as the lowest multiyear rate for any of Cal Poly's 21 teams is 946. In order to compete in the 2016-17 postseason, teams must achieve a 930 multiyear APR or a 940 average over the most recent two years. The multi-year rate of 930 predicts to a Graduation Success Rate of approximately 50 percent. Nine of Cal Poly’s 21 NCAA-affiliated intercollegiate athletic teams improved their multiyear rates, led by women’s golf with a jump of 25 points to 1,000, wrestling with a multi-
year rate improvement of 20 points to 966 and women’s volleyball which improved its multi-year rate 18 points to 967. Men’s soccer improved its multi-year rate 13 points while men’s swimming and diving added 12 points to its multi-year rate. Other teams with multi-year rate improvements include men’s basketball, women’s cross country, softball and women’s track and field. “Cal Poly should be considered a leader in the national graduation rate,” said Mustang director of athletics Don Oberhelman. “These numbers indicate our commitment to success. “Our teacher-scholar model is so important
to Cal Poly and that philosophy is thriving in our athletic program,” Oberhelman added. “Our student-athletes continue to succeed both in the classroom and on the field.” Three Mustang teams — men’s basketball, men’s golf and women’s golf — own percentile rankings of 80 percent or more within their sport. Making the biggest improvement in singleyear APR scores from the 2013-14 school year to 2014-15 were softball (68 points from 932 to 1,000), women’s volleyball (64 points from 936 too 1,000), women’s basketball (45 points from 915 to 960) and men’s soccer (42 points from 958 to 1,000.

Cal Poly Football History -- Head Coaches
157 D.W. Schlosser 1915-17
Herman Hess 1919-20
This photo from 1905 shows football being played at Cal Poly in front of the school’s dormitory, eventually named Deuel Hall. Football also was played from 1906 to 1914, but most were intramural games as the Mustang teams were not allowed to play “outside” competition at that time other than San Luis Obispo High School. Though the Cal Poly record books show Cal Poly as playing its first football game in 1915, the Polytechnic Journal reported that club teams were formed from 1905 to 1914. D.W. Schlosser became the first paid coach for the 1915 season, signalling the official start of intercollegiate football at Cal Poly. The Mustangs’ rich football history is highlighted by the undefeated, unscored-upon 1933 team of Howie O’Daniels, the muchheralded undefeated, untied 1953 team coached by Roy Hughes, the first team to earn an NCAA playoff berth (1972, coached by Joe Harper), the 1980 NCAA Division II national championship team, also coached by Harper, and the 1990 NCAA Division II semifinal team coached by Lyle Setencich. Cal Poly moved to Division I in 1994 and three Mustang teams -- 2005, 2008 (both coached by Rich Ellerson) and 2012 (coached by Tim Walsh) -- have qualified for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.

Osbaldo Orozco: Destined for the Battlefield
sbaldo Orozco wanted to be a soldier long before he came to Cal Poly. After watching “Rambo” as kids, he and his brothers would use broomsticks and knives to attack a make-believe enemy soldier — a cactus in their back yard. Indeed, some would say Orozco was destined for the battlefield, where he died April 26, 2003, on the front lines of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cal Poly officials held a public memorial May 22, 2003, at the campus’ War Memorial Plaza to honor the 26-year-old alumnus and U.S. Army First Lieutenant. “Baldo,” as his friends called him, died when the Bradley fighting vehicle he was riding in rolled over while rushing to help other American soldiers under attack near Tikrit in northern Iraq. At the memorial service, a few hundred people — including family, veterans, students and past teammates — remembered the former school football star who was commissioned as an Army officer on June 16, 2001, the same day he earned his bachelor’s degree in social science. As the late-afternoon sun reflected off the bronze Mustang Statue, school officials added a 64th name to the plaque below that honors Cal Poly students who died on the battlefield.
Osbaldo Orozco wore paint on his face as a Cal Poly football pregame ritual.

Mustang Memorial Plaza Friends and family of E. Gary Van Horn attended dedication ceremony for Mustang Memorial Plaza.
M
ustang Memorial Plaza at Alex G. Spanos Stadium was formally dedicated September 29, 2006, with over 400 people in attendance, including survivors, friends and family members of those who lost their lives. Cal Poly’s 1960 football team was honorably inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame later that evening at Chumash Auditorium. Richard Equinoa, retired director of career services at Cal Poly, read the names of the 53 members of the team who were inducted. As many as 46 of the inductees were represented at the induction dinner. Gil Stork, a survivor of the Oct. 29, 1960, plane crash at Toledo, Ohio, that took the lives of 18 team members, served as Master of Ceremonies. Representing the 1960 football team at the podium were survivors Carl Bowser and Ted Tollner. The unity and depth of brotherhood shared by the 1960 players made the group an ideal selection for Cal Poly’s unprecedented selection of an entire team for Hall of Fame honors, according to Alison Cone, Cal Poly’s director of athletics at the time. Eighteen of the original 25 survivors of the tragic plane crash were still alive at the time, and most were present for the remembrance ceremonies, as well as a number of family members. “This dedication is one of the most significant moments in Cal Poly’s

history, as well as for me personally,” said then-Cal Poly President Warren J. Baker. “The new Mustang Memorial Plaza is Cal Poly’s tribute to the 1960 team. With this plaza, we will preserve forever the memory of the 18 who perished in the tragic crash, so that their hopes and dreams live on.” A flock of doves was released during the dedication ceremony and PolyPhonics performed two songs. President Baker presided over the unveiling of the granite plaques placed on 18 copper pillars representing each of the 18 team members -- 16 players, a Mustang booster and the team manager -- who lost their lives in the crash. The 15,000-square-foot Mustang Memorial Plaza is rich in symbolism. It is anchored by a striking bronze sculpture of a mustang created by Roy Harris -- aptly titled “Unbridled Spirit” -- which stands at the center of a ‘team huddle’ created by a circle of 18 pillars faced in copper, a metal that grows more beautiful with time. Each of the 18 pillars stands at the same height as that of its honoree. Soft beams of light glow from the tops of the pillars, permanent beacons that serve to guide those who wish to honor the memory of the team. Each pillar displays a granite plaque engraved with the 1961 yearbook photo of the honored individual, statistics for that player, and personal information. As one family member wrote in tribute to its lost loved one, “Always loved. Never forgotten.”
