The Horseshoe Classic UC Davis rallied from a 21-0 deficit to beat Cal Poly 22-21 last year in Alex G. Spanos Stadium in the seventh edition of “The Horseshoe Classic.” The Aggies also won 23-10 in 2009, snapping a three-game Cal Poly win streak -- 51-28 in 2008 in Alex G. Spanos Stadium, 63-28 in 2007 in Aggie Stadium and 23-17 in 2006 in Alex G. Spanos Stadium. The Aggies won the first two games of The Horseshoe Classic -- 20-13 in 2005 and 36-33 in 2004. 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 36 times. UC Davis leads the series 18-16-2. From 2001-05 and in 2007 and 2010, the visiting team won each time. The 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. Sixteen of the games in the series have been decided by seven points or less.

12 Great West Conference The Great West Conference is made up of 11 intercollegiate institutions that range geographically from New Jersey to Texas to California. The 11 member schools are spread out over seven states and four time zones, giving each school added exposure -- both in terms of media and recruiting -- in new destinations. The conference affiliation also generates much interest within the 11 institutions' substantial alumni base. The conference, which began as a football-only league, took a giant leap in the collegiate athletic world when the conference expanded to include several additional sports and several new members. Joining the league on July 10, 2008 were Houston Baptist University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley University. Chicago State accepted the league's invitation to join in October, 2008. These seven schools joined football-only members Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah. Nebraska-Omaha was added for softball in June, raising the league to 11 members. In addition to football, championships conducted during the 2008-09 academic year were men's and women's cross country, men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field, and men's and women's golf. Team sports in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball began league play in 2009-10. As the conference began planning for multi-team sport competition in 2009-10, several teams were added in the sports of women's soccer and baseball to help provide a more diverse and competitive field. Delaware State, Howard and South Carolina State joined as associate members in women's soccer, giving the Great West a pair of four-team divisions. Northern Colorado and New York Institute of Technology joined as associate members in baseball, giving the Great West eight playing members. In addition, Seattle was added as an associate member in cross country and track and field in 2009. Officially announced Feb. 25, 2004, charter members of the Great West Football Conference were Cal Poly, UC Davis, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State and Southern Utah. Conference competition began on Sept. 4, 2004 with UC Davis scoring a 52-0 win over South Dakota State and Northern Colorado notching a 15-13 win over North Dakota State. The Great West continues its proud tradition in football and has been rated
as one of the best in Football Championship Subdivision and ahead of Football Bowl Subdivision leagues such as the MidAmerican Conference and the Sun Belt. The league boasted wins over FBS teams the last six years, with victories over Ball State, San Diego State twice, Minnesota twice and Central Michigan. In the final CSN poll of 2006, NDSU was fifth, Cal Poly 14th, SDSU 21st and UC Davis 24th, giving the Great West 80 percent of its membership in the rankings. Cal Poly and UC Davis shared the league's championship with identical 4-1 records in 2005, with Cal Poly gaining an atlarge entry into the NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) playoffs. The Mustangs advanced to the second round of the playoffs after avenging a regular season loss with a victory at Montana before losing at Texas State. Cal Poly ranked No. 6 in the final 2005 USA/Today/ESPN Coaches I-AA Top 25 poll and returned to the FCS Playoffs in 2008, ranked No. 8 in the final poll. UC Davis put the Great West on the map early in the 2005 season with a win over Great West Champions Stanford in what media observers 2004 Cal Poly believed to be the biggest upset of the 2005 Cal Poly and UC Davis 2005 college football season. 2006 North Dakota State The Great West Conference recogSouth Dakota State nizes student-athletes on both a weekly 2007 2008 Cal Poly and full-season basis. Individual 2009 UC Davis awards include Players of the Week; 2010 Southern Utah All-Conference teams; an Academic All-Conference team; and Player, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards. The league also crowns team champions for both regular season and post-season competition. The governance of the Great West Conference remains primarily with the member institutions. Each member institution is represented on the President's Council by its respective CEO. The general operations and management of the Conference will be conducted by the Directors of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrators (Joint Council). Scheduling of contests, assignment of officials and certain media relations functions remain with member institutions. Great West members Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah remain atlarge candidates for NCAA FCS post-season playoff consideration, with South Dakota and North Dakota becoming candidates in 2012.

His coaching career included a stint as defensive coordinator with the Oakland Raiders (1995-97) and as a defensive assistant with the Los Angeles Rams (1982-91). Mel Kaufman was a starter for the 1980 NCAA Division II Championship team at Cal Poly. An undrafted free agent, Mel won three Super Bowl championships as a starter with the Washington Redskins in 1982, 1983 and 1987. Gary Davis played for the Miami Dolphins for three seasons after a stellar career as a running back at Cal Poly. He also played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns, finishing his football career in 1982.

He currently is passing game coordinator for the Oakland Raiders. Bobby Beathard, who played football at Cal Poly from 1956-58, has had an illustrious career in professional sports. First he was a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1960s when the team went to the first Super Bowl. Later he helped build the Miami Dolphins as the personnel director into a successful franchise before moving to the Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins in 1978. Most recently he was the General Manager for the San Diego Chargers when they too went to the Super Bowl and was a senior advisor to the CEO of the Atlanta Falcons. Stan Sheriff is one of the legends of Cal Poly football. He was an All-American performer Vincent Jackson and participant in an East-West Shrine Game and Hula Bowl.

15 Welcome to the Big Sky Conference Cal Poly, along with UC Davis, North Dakota and Southern Utah, will start competition in the expanded Big Sky Conference, beginning with the 2012 season. 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. All four schools will play football in the Great West Conference for one more season. Cal Poly and UC Davis will 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 Cal Poly interim president Dr. Robert Glidden. “It gives us a consistently competitive schedule and a great opportunity to grow long-term, stable rivalries with well-respected teams.” Added then-Mustang director of athletics Alison Cone, “We’re very excited anout 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, 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 Doug Fullerton 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.” Current members of the Big Sky Conference are Montana, Montana State, Idaho State, Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona, Sacramento State, Northern Colorado, Weber State and Portland State. 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 and 2008. The Big Sky Conference is entering its 49th year of athletic competition this fall and has been 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 25 of the past 27 years, including three teams on five occasions -- 1988, 1990, 1994, 2003 and 2009. Since 1993, a total of 12 Big Sky teams have made it to at least the semifinals of the playoffs. The Big Sky has advanced two teams to the quarterfinals two of the last five seasons and three of the last six. Montana has appeared in seven national championship games since 1995. Since 2000, six of the nine Big Sky teams have made at least one playoff appearance. The Big Sky Conference has produced six winners of the Walter Payton Award, which goes to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level, along with four Buck Buchanan Award winners (top defensive player in the FCS) and a pair of Eddie Robinson Award winners (FCS coach of the year). Since moving to the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) in 1994, Cal Poly is 27-34 against teams from the Big Sky Conference, including a 16-7 mark in the last 23 games from 2004-10. Cal Poly was 5-1 against Big Sky members in 2005, best in school history, en route to its first NCAA FCS playoff berth. The Mustangs also qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in 2008.

16 2011 Season Preview: Preparing for the Big Sky Conference
C
al Poly's final season in the Great West Conference and its third campaign under head coach Tim Walsh features 14 returning starters on offense and defense and one of the toughest schedules in all of the Football Championship Subdivision. One year shy of their first venture to the Big Sky Conference, the Mustangs welcome back six starters on offense and eight on defense, plus several other players who started a few games or accumulated a lot of playing time as backups. Among those are Andre Broadous, who started four games at quarterback last fall, and numerous defensive players who rotated in and out of the lineup with the starters. The offensive and defensive lines along with the defensive secondary appear to be deep with experienced veterans while the depth at linebacker and the fact the Mustangs will have no returning wide receivers who caught a pass a year ago are the chief concerns heading into fall camp. "We’re as deep as we’ve ever been on the offensive line," said Walsh, 11-11 in his first two seasons, following a 4-7 mark in his first campaign with a 7-4 record last fall. “If you’re going to be deep somewhere, that’s a good place to be deep. "Same thing with our defensive line," Walsh added. "Our offensive and defensive lines along with the secondary all have quality depth with more guys who can play." The starters at linebacker appear set with senior Max Schulz at Will, junior Kennith Jackson at Mike and sophomore Johnny Millard at Sam, “but the question will be who the backups are,” Walsh said. “We’re always trying to upgrade those positions. Guys like Nick Dzubnar, Keaton Taylor, Kyle Mohamed, Brandon Howe, Chris Judge and Xavier Ramos all have to up their performance level. Even though they’re young, that’s not an excuse." Of the 108 receptions made by the Mustangs, 62 were by wide receivers who are gone and the other 46 were made by slotbacks and fullbacks. Slotback Mark Rodgers led the latter group with 20 and David Mahr, another slotback, had 12. They both return for their senior season. “Some of the younger players will get their opportunity at wide receiver and they need to step up,” Walsh said. Last year’s defense improved in several areas. For instance, scoring by the opposition dropped from 27.5 points per game to 25.5 while total offense fell from 398.0 yards a contest to 360.2. The Mustangs were 14th in the nation in rushing defense in 2010, allowing 106.8 yards per game (133.7 a year earlier) while Cal Poly was 26th in sacks, notching 26 in 2010, nine more than in Walsh’s first season at the helm of the Mustangs. Defense will be one of the keys as Cal Poly plays a pair of Football Bowl Subdivision teams who won their bowl games a year ago but have new head coaches this fall. In addition, the Mustangs play Montana on the road, visit South Alabama, a team which has not lost in the last two years, and host defending national FCS champion Eastern Washington. In all, Cal Poly’s 11 foes in 2011 Andre Broadous started four posted a combined 76-53 win-loss games as a sophomore quarrecord last fall. Cal Poly hopes to improve on its terback and enters fall camp third-place Great West Conference No. 1 on the depth chart. finish of a year ago and earn its fourth championship in the eightyear history of the league, hosting Quarterback Southern Utah and South Dakota while visiting North Dakota and UC Andre Broadous, Junior (6-0, 205) Davis. 41-64-0, 510 Yards, 4 TDs in 2010) "We have a chance to be a very (0-0-0, 0 Yards, 0 TDs in 2009) talented football team against a very tough schedule," said Walsh.

termen -- 28 on offense, 36 on defense and one specialist -- who will be on the practice field when fall camp begins in August. Another 21 redshirts will vie for starting positions or playing time, along with several transfers and walk-ons. Broadous backed up Tony Smith for two seasons and enters fall camp as the No. 1 guy to call the signals on offense. The junior from Portland completed 41 of 64 passes (64.1 percent) for 510 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing 87 times for 305 yards and three more scores out of Slotbacks the Mustangs' triple option. "There is no question Mark Rodgers, Senior (5-8, 180) who our starting quarter(127 Carries, 882 Yards, 8 TDs in 2010) back is this time," said 20 Catches, 208 Yards, 3 TDs in 2010) Walsh.

Many of the new (16 carries, 54 yards, 1 TD in 2009) things in our offense are (19 catches, 194 yards, 1 TD in 2009) centered around him and will give him the opportunity to have the ball in his hands," Walsh added. "There is no question he's what we want at that position. He is quick-footed, has the toughness to play that position and he probably throws the ball better than everyone thinks of him. “He came out of spring ball very well, especially with some of the changes we made offensively, and he needs to build on that,” Walsh said. “He proved himself as a pretty explosive player on our five-game road trip last year and we’re hoping that it gave him confidence and experience to be a truly explosive quarterback this year.” Broadous completed all of his four pass attempts in the Spring Game and
17 watch list member made 55 tackles, intercepted a pair of passes and broke up nine other passes in 2010 and earned numerous other preseason accolades. Cooper notched 39 tackles and led the Mustangs in tackles for lost yardage (10) and sacks (6). He also hurried the quarterback six times. The other six returning starters on defense are linebackers Jackson and Millard, ends Kyle Murphy, Matt Singletary and Brandon Roberts and safety Greg Francis. Cornerbacks Bijon Samoodi and Nico Molino also started several games in 2010. Placekicker James Langford also returns after making all of his 16 extra-point kicks as a freshman in 2010. A position-by-position look:

The cast of returning starters on offense also is led by slotback Mark Rodgers, lineman Scott Winnewisser and fullback Jake Romanelli. Rodgers rushed for 882 yards and eight touchdowns in 2010 while also catching 20 passes for 208 yards and three more scores en route to first-team All-Great West and third-team Associated Press AllAmerican honors. He ran a 4.46-second 40-yard dash on Junior Day. Winnewisser has started every game the last two years on Cal Poly's offensive front and likely will
Quarterback Broadous started four games and backed up Tony Smith for the other seven games in 2010. The junior is now ready to assume control of the offense on a fulltime basis, with Shumway No. 2 on the depth chart. Shumway played in four games last year and will long be remembered for his performance against then-No. 1-ranked Montana, entering the game in the third quarter with the Mustangs trailing 20-14 and sparking the come-from-behind 35-33 victory with an 83-yard touchdown pass to Mahr and a 25yarder to Dominique Johnson. Shumway was 13 of 26 for 192 yards in his four appearances in 2010. Slotback Rodgers made an immediate impact at Cal Poly after transferring from West Virginia, rushing for 105 yards on 14 carries and scoring twice in the sea-
Fullback Jake Romanelli, Senior (6-3, 240) (102 Caqrries, 459 Yards, 8 TDs in 2010) (107 carries, 492 yards, 2 TDs in 2009) (Second-Team All-Great West 2010) (First-Team All-Great West in 2009) Akaninyene Umoh, Sophomore (6-1, 207) (Six Carries, 20 Yards, 0 TDs in 2010) move from left tackle to right guard for his senior season. He was a second-team All-Great West Conference selection for the second straight year. Romanelli accumulated 459 yards on 102 rushes, scoring eight touchdowns, en route to second-team All-Great West honors as well. He shared fullback duties with Jordan Yocum last fall, but likely will get more carries in the 2011 season. Yocum completed his eligibility after gaining 497 yards, also on 102 carries, in 2010. Other veteran offensive starters include junior Geoff Hyde at center, senior Maurice McClure at left guard, senior Art Munoz at right tackle and Mahr at slotback. Munoz was the lone returning starter on the offensive line who participated in spring drills. The others nursed injuries, but were expected to be healthy by the start of fall camp. Mahr underwent knee surgery after starting the first eight games of the 2010 season, recording 310 rushing yards and catching 12 passes for 168 more yards. He also is ready for fall camp. Headlining the list of returning defensive starters are senior cornerback Asa Jackson and buck end Gavin Cooper, both first-team All-Great West selections in 2010. Jackson, a three-time All-Great West first-team honoree, also was a third-team Sports Network AllAmerican selection. The Buck Buchanan Award

He finished with 882 yards, averaging 6.9 yards per carry and 80.2 yards a game. Heading into fall camp, Deonte Williams, a transfer from Sierra College who played his freshman season at Northern Arizona, will back up Rodgers, along with redshirt freshmen Austin Mahr and K.J. Cusack and true freshman Kristaan Ivory. David Mahr, who netted 310 yards (7.4 average per carry) and one touchdown prior to his injury a year ago, tops the depth chart at the other slotback position and is backed up by redshirt freshman Kenny Mitchell, sophomore Cole Stanford and seniors Blake Page and John Yessner. Stanford was a fullback in spring drills and a backup linebacker as a redshirt freshman a year ago. “There is some depth at slotback, but we don’t
know the quality of that depth,” said Walsh. “We need to stay healthy there or someone else has to step up.” Fullback With Yocum gone, Romanelli will get help from sophomore Akaninyene Umoh, converted linebacker Quentin Greenlaw, who redshirted the 2010 season, and possibly true freshman Garrett Steele. Umoh played in 10 games last year but netted just 20 yards on the ground while catching seven passes. “Fullback is one position where things probably will change as the year progresses,” said Walsh. Wide Receiver Jarred Houston, a slotback a year ago, returns to the wide receiver position for his senior season and will be challenged at the X-Back spot by junior redshirt Brandon Michalkiewicz. Also competing for
Wide Receivers Jarred Houston, Senior (5-11, 205) (0 catches, 0 yards, 0 TDs in 2010) (6 catches, 74 yards, 1 TD in 2009) playing time are sophomore Nathanael Petrey, freshman redshirt Chris Nicholls and true freshman Roland Jackson Jr. Lance Castaneda, a redshirt freshman who is very high on the coaches' list of future talented receivers at Cal Poly, is listed No. 1 at the Z-Back position, followed by true freshman Willie Tucker, returning lettermen Ryan Taylor and Josh Swaney, both juniors, and true freshman Jordan Hines. “Castaneda has to play with a lot of confidence and gain experience quickly,” said Walsh. “Houston will play on the other side and Michalkiewicz was a junior college player of the year. They both have to step up for us.” Offensive Line Winnewisser moves from left tackle to right guard to make room for sophomore Giovanni Sani at left tackle. Sani started the first two games as a true freshman last fall prior to a season-ending injury. Maurice McClure returns for his final season at left guard while Art Munoz, another senior, is the top candidate at right tackle. Both started eight games as juniors. Geoff Hyde is the likely starter at center in the fall. Sophomore Lefi Letuligasenoa, who started two games at left guard and played in seven other contests as a true freshman in 2010, is the backup at center. Other candidates at the tackle positions are converted defensive lineman Karl Winkelman, redshirt freshmen Connor Odisio and Sam Kenney and true

slots while walk-on Shawn Swanson, true freshman Kyle Zottneck and junior Korben Boaz (who missed the entire 2010 season due to injury) will back up at center. "A lot of young players will be thrown into the fire and we'll find out exactly what they can do," said Walsh. "The top six or seven will be very strong in the fall, but we need to find more depth." Defensive Line With nine returning players on the defensive line, this area appears solid. "There will be a lot of battles for the third and fourth guys at each position," said Walsh, "but this group has a chance to be as good as we've had." Returning starters Kyle Defensive Line Murphy and Gavin Cooper on the ends and Klemme at nose tackle anchor the veterGavin Cooper, Senior (6-3, 225) an group of linemen which (39 Tackles, 10.0 TFLs, 6 Hurries in 2010) also includes tackles Kevin (First-Team All-Great West in 2010) Hess and Sullivan Grosz (Redshirt in 2009) along with ends Matt (29 Tackles, 3.5 Sacks, 3 Breakups in 2008) Singletary, Brandon (16 Tackles, 1.5 Sacks, 5 Hurries in 2007) Roberts, Nick Leyden and Troy Shotwell, all of whom Sullivan Grosz, Sophomore (6-4, 265) played in most of the games (14 Tackles, 2 Hurries in 2010) a year ago. Leyden, now a Erich Klemme, Senior (6-2, 270) sophomore, filled in on the (28 Tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 3 Hurries in 2010) offensive line late last fall (Honorable Mention All-Great West in 2010) due to injury and returns to the defensive front for 2011.

Kennith Jackson will move from Sam to Mike while Johnny Millard pulls up the stakes at Will and takes over at Sam. "We'll be moving some guys around," said Walsh. Jackson notched 67 tackles, 10 for lost yardage, in 2010 while Millard was in on 38 tackles. Senior Max Schulz is the Linebackers top candidate at Will linebacker but will be chalKennith Jackson, Junior (6-0, 230) lenged by sophomore Xavier Ramos. Schulz had (67 Tackles, 10.0 TFLs, 4 Hurries in 2010 12 tackles in 10 games a (Second-Team All-Great West in 2010) year ago while Ramos (35 Tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 2 Hurries in 2009) notched 11 stops in nine (Honorable Mention All-Great West in 2009) contests. The duo will be Johnny Millard, Sophomore (6-3, 230) backed up by redshirt freshmen Brandon Howe and (38 Tackles, 2.5 TFLs, 3 Hurries in 2010 Nick Moyer. Jackson will be backed up by senior Keaton Taylor and redshirt freshman
Nick Dzubnar at Mike while Millard will be challenged by transfer Chris Judge, sophomore Kyle Mohamed and junior Andrew Caviglia at Sam. Defensive Backs This was an experienced group last year and more of the same is in store for 2011 with the return of veterans Asa Jackson, Nico Molino and Bijon Samoodi at cornerback and equally experienced Greg Francis at field safety. Jackson will start at Defensive Backs boundary corner while Samoodi and Molino battle Asa Jackson, Senior (5-11, 190) for the starting nod at field corner. (55 Tackles, 2 Int., 9 Breakups in 2010) Vante Smith-Johnson (48 Tackles, 2 Int., 6 Breakups in 2009) played five games as a true (42 Tackles, 2 Int., 10 Breakups in 2008) freshman at both cornerback (First-Team All-Great West 2008, 2009, 2010) and safety. Dave Douglas Third-Team Sports Network All-American 2010) also played five games as a true freshman at cornerback Greg Francis, Senior (6-1, 190) and has the edge at boundary (31 Tackles, 3.0 TFLs, 3 Breakups in 2010) safety this fall. Senior Angel (32 Tackles, 3 Interceptions in 2009) Morales also returns in the (65 Tackles, 2 Int., 6 Breakups in 2008) secondary. Bijon Samoodi, Junior (5-10, 185) Samoodi led all second62 Tackles, 3.0 TFLs, 5 Breakups in 2010) ary personnel with 62 tackles last fall while Jackson (44 Tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 Interception in 2009) made 55 stops and Francis 31. Jackson and Molino each recorded a pair of interceptions in 2010. The backup safeties also include redshirt freshmen Trevor Weis and Saddleback College transfer Matt Reza while contenders at cornerback include returning letterman Darryl Williams and redshirt freshman Kevin Britt. "The younger players will find out what they can contribute and where they fit," said Walsh. "We're going to be fairly deep in the defensive backfield, but we need to find out who will provide the needed depth." Special Teams Cal Poly lost two kickers to graduation -- punter Chris Pinto and placekicker Jake West -- but returns Langford for his sophomore campaign. He is expected to handle kickoffs and all placement kicks, backed up by true freshman Paul Hundley of St. Augustine High School in San Diego. Chris Nicholls, a wide receiver on offense, and Hundley will battle for the starting nod as Cal Poly’s new punter. Handling punt returns will be Jackson and Greg Francis. Jackson has been among the nation’s top punt returners the last two years. In 2009 he broke the school record with a 15.5 average per return and he finished 14th in the nation a year ago with his 12.6 average on 17 returns. Jackson’s career punt return average of 13.83 yards per game is a school record as well. Mark Rodgers and Jackson will pair up on kickoff returns, backed up by Samoodi and Deonte Williams. Rodgers is second in Cal Poly's record book for both season and career with his 27.4 yards per kickoff return in 2010. He returned 33 kickoffs a schoolrecord 904 yards and his longest return was 65 yards. Troy Shotwell returns as the long snapper, backed up by Joe Brum and Winnewisser, and Shumway replaces Mike Anderson as the holder, backed up by Michalkiewicz. Keaton Taylor, a backup at Mike linebacker, will serve as team captain of special teams. The senior has made 16 tackles the last two seasons. “On special teams, Taylor is a guy who understands his role as Defensive end Gavin Cooper well as the importance placed earned first-team All-Great West on him as team captain,” said Conference accolades after Walsh. “Although he’s a backup linebacker, he’s our notching six sacks among his 39 total tackles in 2010. best special teams player.”

Cal Poly Head Football Coach Tim Walsh
im Walsh, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the United States Military Academy the last two seasons, was named Cal Poly’s 16th head football coach on Jan. 9, 2009, and, after guiding the Mustangs to a 4-7 mark in his first campaign, turned it around for a 7-4 record in Season No. 2. “Tim Walsh brings all of the qualities we were looking for in a head coach for our football team,” then-Cal Poly director of athletics Alison Cone said of his hiring. “He is a quality leader who understands the unique culture at Cal Poly. He knows how to help young men reach their potential in the classroom, as citizens, and on the football field. 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 our program. “He has the ability to continue the success the Cal Poly football program has enjoyed ... and that the community and the university will be proud of and excited to support,” Cone added. 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,” Cone said of Walsh. “He is a high-character, high-quality individual who brings great passion and enthusiasm to our campus.” Walsh has compiled a 128-93 record in 20 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 two at Cal Poly (11-11 from 2009-10). 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,” said Walsh. “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.

22 Cal Poly Head Football Coach Tim Walsh
With the Vikings, Walsh coached 14 AllAmericans and 11 Academic AllAmericans. 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 39 first-team All-Big Sky honors, 51 on the second team, 80 honorable mentions, 58 Academic All-Big Sky honorees, 59 Big Sky Players of the Week, 20 national player of the week honorees, five Walter Payton Award finalists and one Buck Buchanan Award finalist.

A total of 10 Mustangs earned AllGreat West Conference first- or secondteam honors, including first-teamers Jake Romanelli (Fullback), Ryan Shotwell (defensive end) and James Chen (defensive tackle). Cal Poly’s 2010 squad also finished 41 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/Fathead.com 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. Senior linebacker Marty Mohamed was named Great West Conference Defensive Player of the Year and five other Mustangs earned first-team allconference honors. In addition, Mohamed and Chen were named to the FCS Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star Team. Chen also was named to the Great West All-Academic Team for the third straight year and earned a $7,500 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Five other Mustangs landed on the Great West All-Academic Team. Cornerback Asa Jackson earned a spot on The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-American third team while slotback Mark Rodgers landed on the Associated Press FCS All-American third team as an all-purpose player. Offensive guard Will Mitchell was selected to Phil Steele’s FCS Postseason All-American Fourth Team.

Defense Edges Offense Thanks to Kicker in 2011 Spring Game SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Walk-on kicker Kody Fudenna made three of three PAT kicks to break the tie as the defense beat the offense 33-32 in Cal Poly’s annual spring football game Saturday afternoon in Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Redshirt freshman defensive back Trevor Weis intercepted a pass on the final play of the 80-play scrimmage to knot the score at 32-32, forcing a tiebreaking kickoff. Kicking for the defense, Fudenna, a graduate of Salinas High School, was perfect on his three PAT kicks while Kyle Anderson, another walk-on kicking for the offense, connected on two of his three attempts. Anderson is a Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep (San Francisco) graduate. The offense scored two touchdowns in the first half and held a 24-11 lead at the intermission. Senior slotback Mark Rodgers ran one yard around left end for the first score and redshirt freshman wide receiver Lance Castaneda caught a five-yard scoring
pass from junior quarterback Doug Shumway in the right back corner of the end zone. But the defense rallied in the second half for the win by stopping the offense on numerous drives plus the interception by Weis, a graduate of Tesoro High School in Mission Viejo. On offense, one point was awarded for a first down in addition to the usual scoring -- three points for a field goal, six for a touchdown and one for an extra point. The defense earned points for holding the offense to no points on a drive (one), for a four-and-out drive (three), a turnover (six) and for an interception return or fumble return for a touchdown (12 or 13 points, depending on the extra-point try). The Mustang offense generated 19 first downs and two touchdowns while the defense accumulated four stops of offensive drives and seven three-and-outs along with the interception by Weis, the lone turnover of the scrimmage.
Cal Poly’s rushing leaders were junior quarterback Andre Broadous with 30 yards on six carries, slotback Deonte Williams with 23 yards on three carries and Shumway with 14 yards on four trips. Sophomore quarterback Vince Moraga completed 10 of 16 passes for 90 yards while Shumway was three of seven for 18 yards and a touchdown. Broadous connected on all four of his pass attempts for 36 yards and sophomore Kenny Johnston completed three of 11 passes for 28 yards. Rodgers connected with junior wide receiver Ryan Taylor on a 41-yard halfback pass. Top receivers were Taylor (62 yards) and Castadena (15 yards), each with three receptions. The Mustang offense generated 93 yards rushing on 49 carries and 213 additional yards on 21 pass completions. On defense, Andrew Alcaraz, Dave Douglas, Johnny Millard and Nick Dzubnar all recorded four tackles. Amir Tadros notched a sack for a nine-yard loss.

The Home Team Cal Poly’s football alumni association has arrived! We are The Home Team! Our Mission: To build an army of Cal Poly Mustang Football alumni, parents, fans, businesses and all who desire to show their appreciation for what they received; a football scholarship, college admission and a Cal Poly degree. This army of donors will dedicate themselves to foster a “give back” philosophy that will ensure future Mustangs the same opportunity and experience year after year. Collectively, the HomeTeam will effectively raise and gift funds exclusively for the benefit of the Cal Poly Football Program while keeping annual donations at affordable levels ($150 per season) so all can participate. Our Steering Committee: By working hand in hand with the athletic department to accomplish this incredible dream of becoming a Division I football program, a small body of local alumni is contacting and appointing one or
more captains from each team over the last 50 years of football to serve on the steering committee. The steering committee is a collective group of alumni who will be directly responsible for contacting all seniors from their respective teams to report back to the administration with updated contacted information and annual membership commitments. Over 300 football alumni joined in the very first year and our goal is to reach 1,500 members by Fall 2011. Annual Membership: Cal Poly Athletic Advancement will sponsor two alumni functions (Fall/Spring) during each academic year. If you are not currently receiving Home Team information, Cal Poly Football or Alumni events, please call 805-756-7188. Make check payable to Cal Poly Athletic Advancement (Note: The Home Team) and mail to: Cal Poly Athletic Advancement, Attn: The Home Team, One Grand Avenue, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407-0388.

Mel Kaufman Award Mel Kaufman, a linebacker on the Mustangs’ NCAA Division II national championship team in 1980 and an eight-year veteran of the Washington Redskins of the National Football League, passed away Feb. 7, 2009, in his Santa Margarita home. He died of hemorrhagic pancreatitis about three weeks shy of his 51st birthday. Kaufman, inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993, played in three Super Bowls with the Redskins. Washington won Super Bowl XVII following the 1982 season and Super Bowl XXII after the 1987 campaign while losing Super Bowl XVIII following the 1983 season. Kaufman also was a scout for the Redskins in Super Bowl XXVI after the 1991 season. He was hired as linebackers coach at Cal Poly in the spring of 2008 and helped guide the Mustangs to an 8-3 record, a Great West Conference title and their second NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth. “It’s a tragedy. He was a good man and a compassionate man,” said former Cal Poly head coach Rich Ellerson, now head coach at Army. “He was just a good guy, a passionate guy, a Mustang.” Kaufman had been out of football at the college and professional levels for about 10 years before he was hired to coach the Mustang linebackers. “I hired him because of his past, the number of guys he played with over the years who were passionate about him and the kind of person he was,” said Ellerson. “We took a bit of a chance with him because he hadn’t coached before at this level, but there were a lot of compelling things in his background as a player and scout as well as who he was as a person. “We still needed to teach him how to coach, get a foothold, work up the ranks,” Ellerson added. “It was really hard on him. It was learn by doing for him.” Defensive back LeCharls McDaniel was a teammate of Kaufman on the Mustangs’ 1980 national championship team under head coach Joe Harper. “Mel was a great human being on top of being a great football player,” said McDaniel. He was a great person, always got along with all people, very likeable. People don't know how good a man he really was, but the people who really knew him know. He affected people in a way he didn't

We went into pro football doing the same thing. There were tough times, but it’s a little easier when doing it with friends. He was a true friend, a great football player. He came into Cal Poly at 170 pounds and played with leverage, played with speed and played with confidence that you can only try to teach kids today.” Born Feb. 24, 1958, in Los Angeles, Kaufman earned two varsity letters in football at Santa Monica High School, graduating in 1976. He played four seasons with the Mustangs after a redshirt year in 1976. A defensive team leader and team captain with the Redskins from 1981-88, Kaufman was a starting linebacker on three National Football Conference championship teams (1982, 1983 and 1987). Following his playing career, he was a scouting supervisor for the Redskins through 1998, giving him 16 years of NFL experience. Kaufman obtained his bachelor’s degree in social science and industrial relations at Cal Poly in 1984. The Mel Kaufman Award, established by current head coach Tim Walsh, is presented annually to the Cal Poly player who most exemplifies the virtues Kaufman became known for off the field. Linebacker Carlton Gillespie earned the award in 2008 and 2009 while safety Scottie Cordier was the recipient in 2010.

The last Mustang to exceed 200 yards on the ground was James Noble with 221 yards against Eastern Washington on Nov. 5, 2005. Two weeks later against Idaho State he rushed for 248 yards and broke a school record by scoring five times.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – No. 25 Cal Poly (FCS Coaches Poll) overcame a 17-7 halftime deficit with two touchdowns and a safety to beat Humboldt State 23-17 in the season opener. Slotback Mark Rodgers, who surpassed the 100yard mark in his first game as a Mustang, scored on a four-yard run and quarterback Tony Smith ran 48 yards for the go-ahead score as Cal Poly, held to five first downs and 107 total yards in the first half, amassed 13 first downs and 237 yards after the break. Humboldt State built its 17-7 first-half lead on an eight-yard pass, a 40-yard field goal and a 29-yard fumble recovery and run. Cal Poly’s only score of the first half was a sevenyard pass from Smith to Rodgers one minute into the second quarter, tying the game at 7-7. The Mustangs, who surrendered 195 total yards in the first half, held the visiting Lumberjacks off the scoreboard in the second half and just 57 total yards. A four-yard run by Rodgers closed the gap to 1714 with 5:54 to play in the third quarter. Smith’s career-long 48-yard run with 1:32 to go in the period gave Cal Poly the lead for the first time at 21-17. Midway through the final period, Humboldt State running back Lyndon Rowells was tackled in the end zone by Mustang defensive tackle James Chen, resulting in a safety and the final points of the game. Rodgers finished with 105 yards on 14 carries and caught two passes for five yards, scoring a touchdown via the run and pass. Fullback Jake Romanelli added 81 yards on 12 rushes while Smith finished with 76 yards on 15 trips.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Sophomore quarterback Doug Shumway replaced starter Tony Smith in the third quarter and threw a pair of touchdown passes as Cal Poly upset No. 1 Montana 35-33 in a nonconference game matching future Big Sky Conference rivals. Montana rallied from a 35-20 deficit with a pair of fourth-quarter TDs and got the ball back twice in the final three minutes of the game, but junior defensive end Kyle Murphy stopped the first Grizzly drive when he sacked quarterback Justin Roper for an eight-yard loss, forced him to fumble and recovered the ball at the Montana 35. After a Cal Poly punt, senior linebacker Marty Mohamed dashed Montana’s final drive with his first career interception at the Montana 39 with four seconds left in the game. Shumway completed each of his three pass attempts, including an 83-yard connection with junior slotback David Mahr for a touchdown with 1:44 to play in the third quarter, giving Cal Poly the lead for good at 21-20. Shumway also hit senior wide receiver Dominique Johnson with a 25-yard scoring pass with 10:40 to play in the game for a 35-20 Mustang advantage. Cal Poly amassed 162 rushing yards and held Montana to just 49 yards on the ground. The Grizzlies used two quarterbacks who combined for 416 yards and three touchdowns.
SAN MARCOS, Texas – Freshman running back Dexter Imade rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns as Texas State upset No. 17 Cal Poly 21-12 in a non-conference game at Bobcat Stadium. Imade scored on runs of 2 and 33 yards while freshman quarterback Tyler Arndt passed for 123 yards as Texas State beat Cal Poly for the third straight time in Bobcat Stadium. Both teams scored in the first seven minutes of the game before the defenses took over and the Bobcats carried a 7-3 lead into the lockerroom at halftime. Karrington Bush ran 37 yards for the Texas State touchdown and Jake West kicked a 32-yard field goal for Cal Poly in the opening minutes of the game. West added a 33-yard field goal in the third period to cut the deficit to 7-6, but Imade’s first touchdown, a two-yard run, gave the Bobcats a 14-6 advantage late in the third period. Cal Poly’s lone touchdown of the game came on a one-yard run by quarterback Doug Shumway with 34 seconds left in the third period.

LAKE CHARLES, La. – No. 20 Cal Poly put together a 310-yard rushing attack and junior slotback Mark Rodgers scored twice as the Mustangs snapped an eight-game road losing streak with a 4014 victory over host No. 19 McNeese State. Rodgers scored on runs of four and 22 yards while sophomore quarterback Andre Broadous and senior fullback Jordan Yocum also scored on runs. The first meeting ever between the two schools – the Mustangs and Cowboys were to play in 2008 in Lake Charles but Hurricane Ike forced cancellation of the mid-September contest – was halted early in the third quarter by a 43-minute lightning delay. Just before the delay, Cal Poly broke the game open with two quick scores. The Mustangs, who led 24-7 at halftime, scored on a 24-yard interception return by redshirt freshman linebacker Johnny Millard and, two plays after sophomore linebacker Kenny Jackson recovered a McNeese State fumble, Rodgers ran 22 yards for a touchdown and a 38-7 Cal Poly advantage. Cal Poly last won a road game Oct. 18, 2008, a 4228 decision at South Dakota State. School record for a losing streak on the road is 11 set in the 1995 and 1996 seasons. The victory was the first on the road for second-year Mustang head coach Tim Walsh. Broadous, earning his first collegiate start, rushed for 89 yards on 14 carries and one score, a 39-yard run in the second quarter which gave the Mustangs the lead for good. Rodgers added 72 yards on 12 carries while Yocum finished with 67 yards on 15 trips.
FRESNO, Calif. – Ahead by just four points at halftime, Fresno State scored 17 unanswered secondhalf points en route to a 38-17 non-conference victory over No. 15 Cal Poly in Bulldog Stadium. Fresno State compiled a 459-221 advantage in total offense and 26-13 in first downs. After Jake West kicked a 30-yard field goal for a 3-0 Mustang lead, Fresno State scored the next 21 points of the game. Cal Poly answered with two touchdowns in the final minute of the first half to close the gap to 21-17. Sophomore quarterback Andre Broadous’ first completion of the game, a 10-yard scoring pass to Dominique Johnson with 46 seconds remaining, trimmed the deficit to 21-10. Defensive tackle James Chen recovered a Fresno State fumble at the Bulldog 1 and, on second down, Mark Rodgers scooted around right end for another score with 24 seconds to play. Fresno State opened the third quarter with a 30yard field goal by Kevin Goessling, then put together a 98-yard scoring drive to establish a 14-point cushion at 31-17 and sealed the win with another touchdown with six minutes to play in the game. Broadous rushed for 82 yards on 25 carries while Rodgers added 72 yards on 14 trips. Broadous completed three of seven passes for 18 yards, with Johnson catching two of the passes for 13 yards. David Mahr had the other reception Safety Scottie Cordier led the Mustangs defensively with eight tackles while cornerback Asa Jackson made seven stops to go with his second interception of the season and sixth of his career.
NORFOLK, VA – Sophomore quarterback Andre Broadous passed for 212 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for a pair of scores as No. 14/16 Cal Poly outlasted Old Dominion 50-37 in a non-conference game before 19,782 at Foreman Field. Broadous hit Dominique Johnson and Mark Rodgers with long touchdown passes in the first half and ran 2 and 8 yards for scores in the fourth quarter. Old Dominion jumped to a 7-0 lead in the first 80 seconds of the game. After the Monarchs recovered a game-opening onside kick, Desmond Williams ran 10 yards for the touchdown. The rest of the game belonged to Cal Poly, although the host Monarchs made several comeback attempts. Jake West kicked a 28-yard field goal moments after David Mahr’s 63-yard run and Mahr followed with a 10-yard touchdown run following a 29-yard interception return by Nico Molino as Cal Poly gained a 10-7 lead and never looked back. Cal Poly amassed a season-high 538 total yards – 326 on the ground and 212 through the air -- and scored on each of its six possessions in the red zone. Old Dominion had the edge in first downs, 24-22.

Tony Smith, who completed 12 of 16 passes last week in a 22-21 win over North Dakota, continued his hot streak by connecting on 19 of 24 passes for a season-high 231 yards against Saint Francis. Cal Poly's Homecoming Game featured the return of 13 survivors of the 1960 plane crash in Toledo, Ohio, which claimed the lives of 16 Mustang football players, the team manager and a booster.

VERMILLION, S.D. – Junior slotback Mark Rodgers surpassed the 200-yard mark rushing the football, averaged 31 yards per kickoff return and even completed a pass in wildcat formation as No. 19/18 Cal Poly rallied from a 14-0 first-half deficit to beat South Dakota 38-24 in a Great West game. With his 235 yards on just 15 carries, Rodgers became the first Mustang to rush for over 200 yards in five years, produced the eighth-highest singlegame rushing total at Cal Poly and helped the Mustangs maintain their NCAA FCS playoff hopes. In stretching its winning streak to three games, Cal Poly caught the Coyotes at 17-17 and 24-24 in the third quarter and grabbed the lead for the first time with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. Rodgers scampered 45 yards down the left sideline for the game’s first tie and junior fullback Jake Romanelli’s second two-yard touchdown run of the game tied the game again at 24-24 in the final minute of the third period. Rodgers broke through a hole at right tackle and sprinted 74 yards for the go-ahead Mustang touchdown and Eric Gardley’s three-yard run on a reverse gave Cal Poly a 38-24 advantage with 7:10 to play. Rodgers led Cal Poly’s ground game to 379 total yards. Jordan Yocum added 62 yards on 15 carries and Romanelli finished with 39 yards on 12 trips. Cal Poly’s defense was led by cornerback Nico Molino with 10 tackles and his second interception of the season.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Randy Wright hit Sean Creadick with a pair of touchdown passes in the final 10 minutes to rally UC Davis to a season-ending 22-21 victory over No. 19/18 Cal Poly. Cal Poly scored the first 21 points of the game on a trio of touchdown runs by its fullbacks, but couldn’t hold on as the visiting Aggies produced three field goals by Sean Kelley and the two touchdown passes from Wright to Creadick for the win in the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe. Mustang junior Jake Romanelli scored on a pair of one-yard runs in the first quarter and Jordan Yocum, one of 18 seniors playing their final game at Cal Poly, added a five-yard scoring run in the second quarter to give the Mustangs their 21-0 advantage. Kelley kicked field goals of 39, 20 and 19 yards and Wright hit Creadick with a 16-yard touchdown pass with 10:22 to go in the game. The comeback was completed when Wright connected with Creadick on a five-yarder with 35 seconds to play and Kelley hit the extra-point kick. Cal Poly junior slotback Mark Rodgers produced his third 100-yard game of the season, netting 102 yards on 17 carries. Yocum finished with 65 yards on 14 trips and Romanelli added 51 yards on 12 carries. Mustang quarterback Tony Smith was eight of 16 for 131 yards. Dominique Johnson caught six passes for 113 yards. Senior linebacker Marty Mohamed led Cal Poly defensively with eight tackles, including a sack. The Mustangs had five sacks in all, but did not force any turnovers while turning the ball over three times themselves.

C
al Poly football will play its 93rd season this fall. Ever since that first 1915 team took the field, Cal Poly football has played with pride and tradition. From the stars of yesterday like Perry Jeter, Alex Bravo, Stan Sheriff, Bobby Beathard, Ted Tollner, John Madden, Mel Kaufman and Louis Jackson, to the stars of today like Chris Thomas, Kamil Loud, Seth Burford, Steve Prejean, Adam Herzing, David Richardson, Darrell Jones, Jordan Beck, Chris Gocong, Courtney Brown, Kyle Shotwell and Ramses Barden, Cal Poly has earned its place in college football history. An undefeated and unscored-upon team in 1933, a perfect record in 1953, playoff trips in 1978 and 1990, a national championship in 1980 and the The 1941 team was Cal Poly’s first as a four-year school and posted a 5-3-1 record. school’s first two trips to the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs in 2005 and 2008 are just ing in 1997, reaching as high as 16th following a win over Northern Iowa at some of the many memories that have made Cal Poly football the pride of the home as the team went 10-1 that year.

1915 Through the 1940s
Above, Ted Tollner (center) hands off to Carl Bowser (left) and Ray Porras. Tollner was head coach at USC and San Diego State while Bowser was a long-time coach at Bakersfield College. Porras died in the 1960 plane crash. At right, Alex Bravo turns the corner for yardage. At left, Bob Lawson was an All-CCAA fullback in 1952 and 1953. 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. Ronnie Henderson coached Cal Poly to a 1-5-1 mark in 1945 before
Coach O’Daniels returned to the helm in 1946 and guided the Mustangs to a 6-2-1 mark. Quarterback “Pinky” Bebernes of Santa Maria, along with teammates Marshall Samuels, Dave Cool, Joe Griffin and Al Weimers helped lead the Mustangs to a 21-13 upset win over San Diego State in 1946. Bruisers Jim Yates and Bud MacDougal provided the offensive punch much of that year.

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.
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 and the team manager. 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.
83 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.
84 1970s 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. Clockwise from left, 1973 team captains Chris Smeland, Fred Stewart, Greg Lee and Mike Coulson helped lead the ‘72 Mustangs to the Camellia Bowl; Top receiving corp of the ‘70s included Dana Nafziger (83), Rick Beatty (89) and Jimmy Childs (85); The 1978 team poses for a photo at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.; Placekicker Tom Valos (32) still holds school record for his 92 career PAT kicks, including the 44 he made in 1970; Vic Ecklund retired as San Luis Obispo High School head football coach after guiding the Tigers to CIF-Southern Section title in 2001; Upper right, running back Gary Davis played for the Miami Dolphins.
85 1980s
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.

It was a winning combination -- 5-7-9 -- that carried Cal Poly to 1980 NCAA Division II National Championship in Albuquerque, NM. Quarterback Craig Johnston wore No. 7, running back Louis Jackson wore No. 9 and wide receiver Robbie Martin wore No. 5.

Alli Abrew passed for 4,009 yards in two seasons (199697) with the Mustangs.
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 now plays for the San Diego Chargers.

87 21st Century -- Return to Prominence The first decade of the 21st Century at Cal Poly produced three Great West Conference championships, a pair of NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berths, six consecutive winning seasons -- a streak that was snapped in 2009 -- and national rankings as high as No. 3. In 2001, Cal Poly football fans had reason to get excited again as Rich Ellerson led the Mustangs to a 6-5 record in his first season, thanks to a strong defensive unit and the passing combination of quarterback Seth Burford and Adam Herzing. The pair, who would later sign professional contracts in 2002, would hook up for a school-record 95-yard touch- Jordan Beck, Atlanta/Denver down passing play in the team’s win over Sacramento State.

Ellerson’s 2006 team finished 7-4, claimed third place in the Great West Football Conference, beat a Division I-A team for the second time in four years and ended up perhaps just a few key plays shy of its second straight FCS playoff berth. Linebacker Kyle Shotwell became the third Mustang in as many years to win the Buck Buchanan Award and was the fourth Mustang in 53 years to play in the East-West Shrine Game. James Noble became the first running back in Cal Poly history to rush for over 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, Chris White was the fourth Mustang in as many years to land a spot on the American Football Coaches Association All-America Team.

The Mustangs finished in the top 25 for the fourth straight season -- No. 24 in the Sports Network media poll. Cal Poly won seven straight games en route to an 8-3 mark, its second FCS playoff berth, its sixth straight winning season and a pair of four-time first-team All-Great West selections (Barden and Field), a first in the five-year history of the conference. The Mustangs defeated San Diego State at Qualcomm Stadium for the second time in three years, but finishes with losses to Big Ten Conference member Wisconsin in overtime and Weber State in the playoff opener.

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 unprecedented 16 Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst Emmy Awards, the most recent in recognition for his work during the 2008 season. In all, Madden has been
nominated for a record 20 Emmy Awards. In addition, the American Sportscasters Association named him Sports Personality of the Year in 1985 and 1992 and, in 1982, Madden became the first NFL analyst to receive the Touchdown Club of America’s prestigious Golden Mike Award. Prior to joining the broadcasting ranks, Madden had an outstanding career as head coach of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. He guided the Raiders to an overall record of 103-32-7, leading the team to seven AFC Western Division titles and a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI. Madden’s winning percentage (.750) is the best of any head coach in NFL history. A linebacker coach when he began his NFL coaching career with Oakland in 1967, Madden became the head coach in 1969 at age 33, the youngest head coach in the American Football League. Madden retired in 1979 and started his football-broadcasting 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 1960-1964 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 last fall, has two sons and five grandchildren.

Cal Poly will play its 18th season of NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) football this fall. After eight years as an independent, the Mustangs competed in the newly formed Great West Football Conference starting in 2004 and has captured three championships (2004, 2005, 2008). Cal Poly played its first two FCS seasons in the defunct American West Conference with Cal State Northridge, Southern Utah and Sacramento State and will move to the Big Sky in 2012.
Cal Poly placed 12 players on the 2010 All-Great West Football Conference first and second teams and seven of the honorees return this fall. They are slotback Mark Rodgers, defensive end Gavin Cooper and cornerback Asa Jackson, all on the first team; and offensive lineman Scott Winnewisser, fullback Jake Romanelli, linebacker Kenny Jackson and defensive end Kyle Murphy, all second-team selections. Honorable mention defensive lineman Erich Klemme also returns.

Quintet of Mustangs in the NFL When the National Football League’s 30 teams ended the lockout and opened training camps in late July, Cal Poly had five former players on active rosters -- defensive end Chris Gocong with the Cleveland Browns, wide receiver Ramses Barden and cornerback Courtney Brown, both with the New York Giants, linebacker Mark Restelli with the Miami Dolphins and wide receiver Dominique Johnson with the Minnesota Vikings. Linebackers Jordan Beck (Denver Broncos) and Kyle Shotwell were released in 2008 and Brown was let go by the
Dallas Cowboys in 2009 and signed with the Giants in early 2010. Gocong, Beck and Shotwell were Buck Buchanan Award winners at Cal Poly. Restelli signed a futures contract with Miami in January 2011 after two seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League. Johnson signed an undrafted free agent contract with Minnesota two days after the lockout ended. Beck was drafted in the third round in 2005 by Atlanta, Gocong was a third-round choice of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2006 and traded to Cleveland in April 2010, Brown was chosen
by Dallas in the seventh round in 2007, Shotwell signed as a free agent shortly after the 2007 draft with the Oakland Raiders and Barden was a third-round choice of the Giants in 2009. Shotwell was released by the Raiders on Sept. 1, 2007. He played in exhibition games with the Raiders in 2007 and Indianapolis Colts in 2008 and was on the practice squads of the Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs, all in 2008. Beck was cut by the Falcons on Sept. 3, 2007, signed a free-agent contract with Denver on Oct. 17, 2007 and was released midway through the 2008 season.

130 Osbaldo Orozco: Destined for the Battlefield By Ryan Huff The Tribune San Luis Obispo County
O
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.

He earned All-American honors as a linebacker for the Mustangs and finished his football career in 1999 with 300 tackles — then third on the team’s all-time list. He brought that same passion to academics, said business professor Colette Frayne. She remembered the first day she met Orozco, when she tried to tutor 30 football players after they were exhausted from an afternoon practice. “Most of the players wanted to be Joe Martinez spoke at Cal Poly memorial service. somewhere else,” Frayne said. “But Baldo sat front and center and said, ‘Hi, I’m tunately, it cost us our brother.” The Cal Poly Athletics Department honors the Baldo.

She’s trying to help us what he represented; leadership, outstanding personal achievement, the ability to overcome out.” Toward the end of the memorial service, obstacles, commitment and someone who Orozco’s former teammates gave his wife, reflects sacrifice.

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. 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.”
Survivors of the 1960 Cal Poly plane crash include Ted Tollner (left), who spoke at the Hall of Fame dinner; Al Marinai (center), who helped initiate the plaza project; and Gil Stork (right), Master of Ceremonies for both the plaza dedication and Hall of Fame dinner.
