Coaching Staff


Fifth Season As Head Coach • Cornell ‘87 The Roger J. Weiss ‘61 Head Coach of Football When Jim Knowles ‘87 stepped back onto campus in January 2004, his main goal was to revitalize the entire Cornell football program. From alumni and fans to players and parents, everyone believes that mission is accomplished. The next goal is to lead the program to its first Ivy League championship since 1990. Knowles was named The Roger J. Weiss ’61 Coach of Football by the Meakem Smith Director of Athletics and Physical Education Andy Noel, becoming the 25th head football coach at Cornell. In the four years since, Knowles has posted a 20-20 record and a 13-15 mark in Ivy play. One of his first priorities was taking back Schoellkopf Field and making it one of the most difficult places to play in the Football Championship Subdivision. He has succeeded, motivating his team to a 16-5 home record in four seasons. His 2005 team went 4-1 at home and posted its first winning season overall (6-4) in seven years. The 2006 squad went one better, going 5-1 for its first five-win campaign at Schoellkopf since 1971. Included were two wins over ranked teams (No. 23 Albany and No. 15 Princeton) and a victory over reigning Patriot League champion Colgate. Cornell registered its third straight season at or above .500 for the first time in 15 years with its 5-5 record in 2007. The Big Red had a stretch of four straight games scoring at least 30 points for the first time since 1921 and established a school record for first downs in a season (231). Cornell also posted an unbeaten non-league slate for the first time since 1998 with victories over Patriot League foes Bucknell, Georgetown and Colgate. Attendance at home games nearly doubled to 8,900 per game. In 2006, with a roster featuring 65 freshmen and sophomores, including 23 members of the two-deep and eight starters, Cornell got progressively better each week. The Big Red finished in the top half of the Ivy League for the third straight year and won three of its final four games. Seven different players earned All-Ivy honors as Cornell finished its second straight season with at least a .500 record for the first time since the 1999 and 2000 campaigns. Known as a defensive mastermind, Knowles’2005 squad finished second nationally in rushing defense (88.3 ypg.) and gave up just 33 yards total on the ground in the final three contests. The Big Red also ranked fourth nationally in total defense (261.3 ypg.) and 18th in the country in scoring defense (18.0 ppg.). The offense more than

The turnaround couldn’t have been more dramatic. A team picked to finish last in the Ivy League finished in sole possession of third place, becoming the first team in Ivy League history to record a winless conference season one year and a winning record the next. But even without the wins, the feeling around the program completely changed. The Big Red defense, ranked last in the Ivy League and 104th out of 121 teams nationally in the FCS against the run at 205.0 yards allowed per game in 2003, cut that average in half (101.1 ypg.) to rank first in the Ivy League and seventh nationally. The offense controlled the ball, but also struck for big plays all season, including three scoring passes of greater than 50 yards. Cornell special teams also set a record with eight kick blocks on the year, while the kick return squad averaged 20.6 yards, its highest total since 1978. Knowles, 43, spent nine seasons as an assistant coach at Cornell (1988-96), helping lead the team to Ivy League titles in 1988 and 1990. He coached the linebackers (199596) and running backs (1989-94) and served as the recruiting coordinator (1995-96) and directed special teams, with one season in charge of the defensive line (1988). Along with the 1988 Ivy League title, the Big Red’s rushing (113.8) and scoring defense (13.7) ranked No. 1 in the East and was 10th and seventh, respectively, in the nation. In 1990, the team featured the No. 11 rushing offense (237.0) in the country. Knowles served as the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Mississippi during the 2003 season. Ole Miss had a standout year, as it posted its

first 10-win season (10-3) since 1971 and claimed the Cotton Bowl with a 31-28 win over Oklahoma State. Defensively, the Rebels had the nation’s No. 14 defense vs. the run, allowing opponents 102.5 yards per game. The squad also recorded 106 tackles for loss, including 28 sacks. Ole Miss posted a 7-1 mark in Southeastern Conference play and was co-champion of the SEC’s Western Division for the first time in 40 years. The team’s only conference loss was at the hands of national champion LSU. Prior to accepting the job at Ole Miss, Knowles spent six seasons at Western Michigan University, where he served his last two years as defensive coordinator. He coached the WMU linebackers in 2002 after working the previous five seasons with the defensive line. In his second year as defensive coordinator, Knowles helped the 2002 Broncos finish first in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and 28th nationally in total defense (330.7),

playing a schedule that included threeTop 25 teams.The defensive unit, which included MAC Defensive Player of theYear Jason Babin, ranked second in the MAC in pass sacks (33) and pass defense (179.5). Babin went on to become Western Michigan’s first-ever first round NFL pick (HoustonTexans).TheWMU defense held three teams to less than 100 yards rushing and limited three others to less than 100 yards passing. The Broncos held opponents to 217 first downs, fewest in the MAC, and the defensive line extended its quarterback sack streak to 33 games. Knowles’ first year as defensive coordinator in 2001 saw the Broncos rank first in pass defense (179.8 yards per game) in the MAC and 17th nationally. WMU also paced the MAC with quarterback sacks (33). His defensive line unit was rated as the second-best in the league by one preseason publication as AllMAC performers Anthony Allsbury (first-team) and Jason Babin (second-team) ranked among the top eight players in sacks. Prior to being named defensive coordinator at Western Michigan on Jan. 17, 2001, Knowles worked exclusively with the down linemen. During the 2000 season, his defensive line unit was partially responsible for helping the Broncos compile 38 sacks and 15 forced fumbles in 12 games. In addition, the Broncos held opponents to 139 points and posted three shutouts — the most scoreless games since 1971. By season’s end, Western Michigan ranked among NCAA Top 20 units in four categories: scoring defense (fourth, 11.5 ppg.), total defense (ninth, 283.3 ypg.), pass defense (13th, 178.0 ypg.) and rushing defense (20th, 105.3 ypg.). Two of Knowles’ players, Allsbury and Chris Browning, earned All-MAC first and second team honors, respectively, as first-year starters. In 1999, Knowles worked closely with Jeremy Johnson, who went on to earn All-MAC honorable mention. He also developed a two-time all-league selection in Dan Falcon (1997-98) and the MAC’s leading sack artist in 1997 with all-league pick Ryan Bauer. During Knowles’ six seasons at WMU, the Brown & Gold generated 207 sacks — including a high of 41 in 1997 — which averages to 34.5 per season. A three-year letter winner at defensive end as a player for Cornell, Knowles earned All-Ivy honors and honorable mention All-Eastern College Athletic Conference accolades in 1986. He graduated in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree from the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Knowles, a Philadelphia, Pa., native, earned All-Catholic and All-City honors as a linebacker at St. Joseph’s Prep. He also competed in crew and wrestling. Knowles and his wife, Nancy ’83 (MBA ’89), have a daughter, Halle, and two sons, Luke and Jack.

CLAYTON CARLIN Fifth Season At Cornell • Juniata ‘87 Assistant Head Coach The John B. and Ann M. Rogers ‘45 Defensive Coordinator/Safeties Coach Clayton Carlin enters his fifth season as the John B. and Ann M. Rogers ‘45 Defensive Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach and will again serve as coach of the safeties in 2008. Since joining head coach Jim Knowles’ staff, he has helped turn around both the defensive and offensive units as coordinator. This will be his third season as defensive coordinator after rejoining that side of the ball in 2007. A tremendous competitor and outstanding recruiter, Carlin has coached 14 All-Ivy selections in his four seasons at Cornell. Taking over a defense that featured seven underclassmen, Carlin’s defense surrendered 14 points or less four times in 2007 and featured the Ivy League’s second leading tackler in Tim Bax, as well as fellow All-Ivy selections Graham Rihn, Doug Lempa and Ryan Blessing. The squad was fourth in the Ancient Eight and ranked among the top half nationally in total defense, while the ballhawking defense increased its tackle for loss total from 2006. In his first go-around as defensive coordinator in 2004, Carlin instituted a gameplan that helped the Big Red engineer one of the greatest turnarounds in Ivy League history, going 4-6 a year after a 1-9 season. That squad became the first Ivy League squad to post a winning conference record (4-3) a year after going 0-7. That season, Carlin’s defense regained dominance at the line of scrimmage. After ranking last in the Ivy League and 104th out of 121 teams nationally in the FCS against the run at 205.0 yards allowed per game in 2003, he helped cut that average to 101.1 yards per game to rank first in the Ivy League and seventh nationally. Three members of the defense earned All-Ivy honors for the first time in their careers, with Ryan Lempa ‘05 and Kevin Rex ‘06 leading the way with second-team nods. His dynamic offense was one of the most effective and entertaining in the FCS in his two seasons. Despite having an offense that featured just four seniors on the twodeep in 2006, Cornell ranked second in the Ivy League and 24th nationally in rushing at 182.1 yards per game. First-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American Luke Siwula ‘08 was a second-team All-Ivy pick, while three members of the offensive line also earned All-Ivy honors. In his first year as offensive coordinator, the Big Red ranked 10th in the country in rushing offense (248.6 ypg.). The team had two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time in school history and the second time ever in the Ivy League. Cornell scored 278 points that season (27.8 ppg.), the most in any season since the 1949 squad posted 284 points in going 8-1. Six of his players earned All-Ivy honors, with offensive lineman Kevin Boothe ‘06 earning first-team All-America honors before being picked in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. Quarterback Ryan Kuhn ‘06 became the first quarterback in Ivy League history to both run and pass for 1,000 yards in a season, while backfield mate Siwula had the 10th-most yards in a season in school history (1,086). Carlin joined the Cornell football staff after spending the 2003 season as the secondary and special teams coach at New Mexico State, where he also served as an assistant from 1997-99. He left NMSU after the 1999 season and was an assistant for one year at Villanova before heading to Buffalo, where he worked for two years. Carlin was the secondary coach at Buffalo, and in 2001 the Bulls ranked 18th in the nation in pass defense, allowing just 180 yards per game. He was wide receivers coach all three seasons in his first stop at NMSU and also served as special teams coordinator in 1999. Prior to his arrival at NMSU, Carlin spent three seasons as a graduate assistant at Nebraska where he worked primarily with the defensive backs. He was part of the

two Husker national championship teams in 1994 and 1995. A native of Philadelphia, Pa., Carlin joined the Nebraska staff after serving two seasons as the secondary coach at Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Pa. For five seasons, from 1987 to 1991, Carlin coached at his prep alma mater, St. Joseph’s Preparatory High School in Philadelphia. After one season as secondary coach in 1987, Carlin spent four years as St. Joseph’s head coach. A 1987 graduate of Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa., Carlin was a three-year starter at defensive back for the nationally ranked Eagles. Carlin earned his master’s degree in 1998 from Nebraska in educational administration. Carlin and his wife, Kathleen, reside in Lansing with their five children, Carsen, Julia, Clayton Jr., Brady and Cole.

Barnum made ISU’s defense one of the Big Sky’s top units in 2000, including allowing only 16 points to Weber State, 14 points to Montana State, and 17 points to I-A Utah State. In that Utah State game, Barnum’s defense stuffed Emmett White, who won the Division I-A all-purpose yardage title, to the tune of just 56 yards rushing. The defense totaled 16 interceptions and consistently came up with big plays. His spot working with the defensive line is one of only two years he has spent working on defense (1999 and 2000). Prior to going to Idaho State, Barnum spent three years as the offensive line coach and associate head coach at the United States Coast Guard Academy. While at the USCGA, the Bears won the Freedom Conference championship and qualified for their first NCAA Division III playoff appearance. He spent the 1993 season at American International, where he coached the offensive line and served as the running game coordinator. During the 1991-92 seasons, Barnum served as assistant offensive line coach for the Big Red, also serving as offensive coordinator for the freshman team. Barnum’s first collegiate coaching experience came at Western Washington, coaching the offensive line from 1989-90. Barnum also served as an assistant football coach in the prep ranks, coaching at Columbia River HS in Vancouver, Wash., and Central Valley HS in Spokane, Wash. Barnum is a 1987 graduate of Eastern Washington University.

Coaching/Staff

Bruce Barnum enters his second season directing Cornell’s spread attack and will take the next step toward developing his explosive and exciting high-powered offense. Barnum rejoined the Cornell football staff in April 2007 and will work with the offensive line after mentoring both the tight ends and running backs last season. He previously served as assistant offensive line coach and junior varsity coordinator for the Big Red during the 1991-92 seasons. In his first year back, the Big Red offense exploded for 270 points, the second-most in a season since 1949. Cornell set a school record for first downs in a season (231) and a game (33 vs. Brown) and ranked in the top 20 nationally in passing offense (17th, 261.1). During one stretch, Cornell scored at least 30 points in four consecutive weekends for the first time since the 1921 national championship team. Nine different players caught at least 10 passes during the season, while the rushing game accounted for 21 touchdowns. Barnum spent 10 years, including six years as offensive coordinator and another as defensive coordinator, leading Idaho State to unprecedented success. Under Barnum’s leadership, ISU’s offense ranked among the national leaders each season. His 2005 squad rushed for over 1,700 yards and 23 rushing touchdowns. The year before, he directed a 3,000-yard passer, only the fifth in school history, and was instrumental in the development of Sale’ Key, who set the school’s career receptions record. Barnum’s offense rolled up 3,611 passing yards overall, the third-most in school history, and ISU’s 305 completions were the second-most in school history. In 2003, the Bengals racked up 394 points, the second-most in school history. Idaho State’s offense was among the nation’s best, ranking sixth in passing, 20th in scoring, and 21st in total offense. His 2002 offense scored over 30 pointsper game and averaged 412.2 yards per game. The team’s 331 points matched the 2001 output. Barnum’s offensive line produced two All-Big Sky selections and one All-American, while the offense totaled 10 all-league selections.

19th Season At Cornell • Slippery Rock ‘78 Associate Defensive Coordinator Defensive Line Coach Pete DeStefano has been a constant on the sidelines for the Big Red since 1993 as defensive line coach, making him the second-longest tenured assistant football coach in Cornell history. He will serve in the role of Associate Defensive Coordinator for the fourth straight year. He has coached or recruited 30 All-Ivy League players during his tenure. DeStefano has played a large role in scheming a defense that allowed opponents just 108.1 yards per game rushing from 2004-06, among the best marks in the FCS over that span. Cornell also posted its third straight year with at least 20 quarterback sacks in 2006 after reaching that mark just three times in the previous seven years. The 2007 team posted 57 total tackles for loss and has reached that mark in six of the last seven seasons. In 2005, DeStefano’s defensive line helped Cornell’s defense rank second nationally in rushing defense (88.3 ypg.), giving up just 33 yards total on the ground in the final three contests. The unit ranked fourth nationally in total defense (261.3 ypg.) and 18th in scoring defense (18.0 ppg.). The line featured first-team All-Ivy pick Matt Pollock and two-time second-team selection Jonathan Lucas. He has also been instrumental in developing kick block schemes that helped the 2004 team to a school-record eight blocks. The team has blocked 46 total kicks in DeStefano’s tenure, including seven in 2007. DeStefano believes that hard work brings success, and often points to Seth Payne ’97, a nine-year NFL defensive tackle, as proof. After recruiting Payne, who barely weighed in at 225 pounds, DeStefano watched the tackle blossom into a fourth-round NFL draft pick. DeStefano started his Cornell career as the head freshman coach

and academic counselor for the athletic department in May 1990. Prior to coming to Cornell, he was associate head coach and defensive coordinator in charge of the linebackers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 1986-90. He was also an assistant track coach at Rensselaer. Before going to Rensselaer, DeStefano was defensive coordinator and linebacker coach at Allegheny College from May 1984 to June 1986, and he was also head track coach. Prior to his stint at Allegheny, DeStefano coached at Edinboro University, serving as head junior varsity coach and defensive coordinator in 1981, with the varsity offensive line in 1982 and with the defensive ends in 1983. He was also strength coach and helped with recruiting. A 1978 graduate of Slippery Rock University with a bachelor of science degree in physical education and health, DeStefano received his master’s in educational administration from Edinboro in 1982. While an undergraduate, he played tight end for three years and received honorable mention All-Western Pennsylvania Conference. From 1978-81, DeStefano coached at Clinton Central HS. As the head varsity coach, he directed the team to the Tri-Valley League championship in 1979 and was named Coach of the Year. He also coached track at Clinton. A 1974 graduate of New Hartford HS, DeStefano was all-league in football and track. His brother, Jim, was an AP All-America honorable mention linebacker at Cornell in 1980 and is a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame. DeStefano and his wife, Joanne, reside in Ithaca. They have a son, Peter, who works in New York City for the Marriott Corporation. Joanne received her master’s degree from Cornell’s Johnson School of Management in 1997.

Fifth Season At Cornell • Albion ‘92 Assistant Offensive Coordinator Running Backs Coach Brian Coon enters his fifth season on the Big Red coaching staff and his fourth as assistant offensive coordinator. He will work with the running backs this season after four years with the offensive linemen. His tutelage has produced eight All-Ivy offensive line selections in four seasons, while helping direct one of the most effective rushing offenses in the FCS. Coon assisted in the development of first-team All-American and sixth-round NFL Draft pick Kevin Boothe ‘06, a unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection in each of his final two seasons while working with Coon.

Over that span, Cornell has averaged more than 18 rushing touchdowns per season. Coon’s talented line helped Cornell finish 10th nationally in rushing (248.6 ypg.) in 2005 and protected two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time in school history and the second time ever in the Ivy League. The success came despite the fact that three starters had never taken a varsity snap prior to 2005. The 2006 squad also ranked among the top 25 rushing offenses nationally despite the loss of both Boothe

Second-year assistant coach Joe Borich will continue his work with the team’s quarterbacks and will take over the wide receivers as well in 2008. He has a strong understanding of the offense, having worked with offensive coordinator Bruce Barnum at his previous stop of Idaho State. In his first season working with the quarterbacks, Borich tutored Nathan Ford in his first year in the spread offense. Ford responded with the second-highest completion percentage in school history (.630). Cornell posted at least 200 yards passing in eight of 10 contests. Due to injuries, Cornell utilized three different players under center, all of whom attempted at least 40 passes on the season. Despite that, the Big Red quarterbacks directed an offense that set school records for completions (281) and first downs (231), while averaging 261.1 yards per game in the air while completing 61.6 percent of their passes. Borich, a former quarterback at Memphis, joined Barnum on the Idaho State staff and spent the last six years as quarterbacks coach. His quarterbacks set numerous school records

defense to Division I-AA runner-up for fewest points allowed per game in 1986 and a seventh-place finish in I-AA in 1988. In both 1986 and 1988, Noyes’ defense topped the Ivy League and the East in the same category. The defense’s 1986 performance was also the best-ever at Cornell since the formation of the Ivy League. In 1990, while Noyes was the offensive line coach, Cornell had three first-team All-Ivy linemen for the first time ever. In 1993, the Big Red was sixth in the nation in total defense, 13th in scoring defense, 17th in rushing defense and 21st in pass efficiency defense. Overall, his teams recorded 21 career shutouts, including 12 with Cornell. During his 21 years of coaching at Cornell, Noyes recruited 18 captains and coached or recruited 25 first-team All-Ivy selections. He recruited 10 starters on the 1988 Ivy championship team and 14 starters from the 1990 championship squad. Noyes previously served as the defensive coordinator at Bucknell for six seasons under the late Fred Prender and Bob Curtis with emphasis on the linebackers. A 1968 graduate of the University of Bridgeport, he was co-captain of the football team as a senior. The former linebacker was a three-year starter and was named to the school’s all-time team in 1969. Noyes and his wife, Carol, reside in Ithaca and have three children: Jennifer Noyes ‘98; Justin Brion; and the late Ronnie Brion ‘00.

General Information

2008 Season Outlook Cornell opens the season with the offensive firepower, the defensive personnel and the special teams spark to be the darkhorse team in the Ivy League race in 2008. With a veteran team featuring 33 seniors, the Big Red has the recipe for success in what looks to be a tight league race. Quarterbacks Seven quarterbacks open fall camp for the Big Red, but senior Nathan Ford is expected to again take control of the offense. Fighting for backup duty will be senior classmates Tyler Lucas and Tom Piselli, junior Ben Ganter, sophomore Ty Siam and freshmen Adam Currie and Alex Johnson. Ford is an accurate, mobile quarterback and a strong leader in the huddle who has great experience behind center. Despite suffering a myriad of injuries during the 2007 campaign, including missing all or the majority of two games, Ford completed 209-of-332 passes for 1,902 yards and six touchdowns. His .630 completion percentage ranked second in a single season for Cornell. Ford also scored three times on the ground. He closed the season third on the school’s career passing list with 3,451 yards. Now he will have a chance to join the great quarterbacks in the annals of Big Red football by leading Cornell to an Ivy title. Lucas and Piselli have contributed much to the program and are among the hardest workers. Both players saw time on the travel roster a season ago and are among the leaders on and off the field. While having seen limited minutes behind Ford, Lucas and Piselli are capable and have the trust of their teammates if called into duty. Ganter was pressed into action when Ford was injured a season ago and saw time in a total of six contests. He completed 19-of-41 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown, while throwing two interceptions. A strong-armed quarterback, Ganter has a good grasp of the offense and is the favorite to win the backup job for the second straight year. Siam, Currie and Johnson will all jockey for position as the team’s quarterback of the future when Ford graduates. Running Backs Senior Luke Siwula is ready to take his fifth year of eligibility this fall to lead a talented running back corps. The Big Red will also utilize some two-back sets in the offense, adding to an already effective ground-gaining scheme. Junior Randy Barbour has the early edge thanks to his experience, but classmate Isaac Minor, as well as rising sophomores Anthony Ambrosi, Vin Falkiewicz and Marcus Hendren and freshman Troy Lewis will have a say in playing time this coming year. Siwula will enter the season as the unquestioned position leader and has rushed for 2,195 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career. He has reached the end zone a total of 22 times in his three-plus seasons. An excellent zone runner who always seems to make positive yards between the tackles, Siwula is a punishing runner. He also has good hands out of the backfield and is effective in pass blocking, making him the total package in the one-back set. Barbour is more of a shifty back capable of getting to the outside and using his speed to outrun tacklers, but also has a strong base and can slip and power out of the defense’s grips. He took over as the team’s primary running back over the final seven games last season and ran for 477 yards and six touchdowns. Beyond Siwula and Barbour, the rest of the depth chart is up for grabs and playing time will be earned throughout the spring and fall. Minor has excelled on special teams over the last two years, serving as one of the leaders of the punt and kickoff coverage teams. Another tough runner, he could be in line for additional carries as a junior. Ambrosi, meanwhile, was injured early in

camp and missed several practices, but showed great potential in his early showings. Ambrosi saw a featured role on the junior varsity in 2007, including two 200-yard games and several multiple-touchdown efforts. Falkiewicz and Hendren were both singled out by coaches and teammates as having outstanding camps midway through spring practice and have similar running styles. Hendren is the best blocker of the group and will see time at both tailback and fullback when Cornell goes into two-back sets. Lewis is a talented open-field runner who can make plays if given the opportunity. Wide Receivers/Tight Ends The Big Red’s short passing game gave a plethora of athletes a chance to touch the ball a season ago, as 14 different players caught at least four passes and nine caught at least 10. All 14 of those players return in 2008, accounting for each of the team’s 281 receptions and nine receiving touchdowns from a year ago. Leading the way will be seniors Zac Canty and Jesse Baker and junior Bryan Walters. The trio combined for 139 catches and seven touchdowns a season ago and are poised to have an even better 2008. A strong route runner and tough slot receiver, Canty led the team in receptions (49) and ranked second on the team in receiving yards (447) and touchdowns (3) en route to capturing honorable mention All-Ivy honors. The 5-8 sparkplug enters his senior season with 90 career catches and is 54 yards shy of 1,000 for his career. Baker and Walters both are capable of making the big plays on the outside and will be looked at to stretch defenses. Baker had 42 catches for 420 yards as a junior and has the size, hands and body control to cause opponents headaches. He also is the team’s top blocker from the wideout position. Walters has good size at 6-1, but it is his speed that makes the difference. In his first full season as a starter, Walters had 48 catches for a team-best 592 yards and four touchdowns. One of the nation’s top returners, he also is electric in the open field. Numerous other players will get opportunities to see balls come their way. Seniors Horatio Blackman, Tommy Bleymaier, Brian FitzPatrick and Shane Kilcoyne, juniors Matt Kenney, Stephen Liuzza and Nick Zerante, and sophomores Tom Barth, Doug Dolan and Ricky Hawkins and freshmen Jordan Heller, Tom Randall, Shane Savage, Jon Scheidler and Bryan Walters

296 pounds. He is both well-coached and exceptionally agile at his size, and could easily slip into one of the open slots on the line. Possibly the biggest surprise of the spring, Bohl has emerged as a starting candidate with an outstanding offseason. The two-sport athlete (track and field) is very athletic at 6-4 and 285 pounds, but has shown to also have the ability to fit right in and learn the offense. Tuttel is a big, strong player who is arguably the best athlete at the position and will also be in the mix to see time. All four rising sophomores were able to get experience on the junior varsity team in 2007, and all will attempt to become candidates for playing time in their second year in the fold. While all four have shown significant improvement, Ostick seems to be the likely candidate to reach the two-deep in the fall, as he will see time as the backup center and will also be pressed into work at the guard position. Defensive Line The defensive line was solid against the run a season ago, but with an additional year of experience and a couple of key additions, the Big Red could be in opposing team’s backfields quite a bit in 2008. Associate defensive coordinator and longtime defensive line coach Pete DeStefano has the reputation for liking to use multiple players to make sure his line is always fresh, and due to injuries and other circumstances last season, his plan wasn’t able to be utilized. This season, with the return of senior starters Dario Arezzo, Frank Kunis and Lucas McCarthy, as well as key reserves Trevin Cowman and Ryne Posey and important additions Ricky Ballou and Jeff Rosage, there will be plenty of capable players on the line. Arezzo is the pass rusher, Kunis is the stout run-stopper and McCarthy is the jackof-all-trades playmaker in the starting lineup, and each is expected to be among the team’s top defenders in 2008. All are experienced and decorated linemen who have been through the wars, while seeing significant snaps in each of the last two years. Arezzo has great quickness and surprising strength, with an initial burst that allows him to pressure the quarterback. Once he is in the backfield, he relentlessly pursues the ball carrier. He started all 10 games in 2007 and registered 26 tackles, including 7.5 for a loss and 3.5 sacks. Arezzo also had an interception, two pass breakups and a forced fumble to highlight a strong junior campaign. At 5-11 and 271 pounds, Kunis can move the line with his strength and is excellent against the run. He is athletic for his size and has quick feet. With a full season as a starter under his belt, he should be even more productive than he was as a junior when he totaled an excellent 32 tackles on the line. Like Arezzo and Kunis, McCarthy also opened all 10 games a season ago. A versatile lineman who can rush the passer, stuff the run or even drop back and cover a tight end or someone out of the backfield, he registered 48 tackles in 2007. Included among his highlights were five tackles for a loss and a sack. He also added a pass breakup and a forced fumble to the cause. Cowman emerged as a key component on the defensive line late in the season after Ryne Posey seeing spot time earlier in the year. A former nationally ranked heavyweight wrestler, he has a great center of gravity, is tremendously strong, and possesses great footwork. Posey also saw time in seven games, recording 10 tackles and blocking a kick. The former walk-on and converted linebacker did a nice job as a reserve in 2007 and wants to play a bigger role this coming year. Two players who could make a huge impact that were revelations in spring camp are fifth-year senior Jeff Rosage and junior Ricky Ballou. Rosage missed the en-

tire fall after suffering an injury, but now is completely recovered and is making his mark. After converting from tight end last spring, Rosage didn’t have much time to settle in to the position, but he got a chance to learn the defense from the sidelines and has the strength to disrupt opposing offenses. Ballou, meanwhile, was nearly impossible to block all spring. At 6-2 and 245 pounds, he has the speed and strength to beat blockers around the end or to bull-rush right through them to cause havoc in the backfield. Additionally, several players have gained seasoning on the junior varsity and could also break into the rotation with another summer of improvement entering the 2008 campaign. Senior Jonathan Ruch, juniors Mike Nwaka and Tom DiStasio and sophomores Evan Eisenberg and Matt Green will be looking to show the production necessary to earn time. Freshmen Emile Chang, Tom Doupe and Matt MacFarlane could become candidates to see action as well. Linebackers With the loss of two-year starters Ryan Blessing and Doug Lempa to graduation, the linebacking corps will be the one position that will see a total overhaul from a season ago. Luckily, several players with experience will fill in, while several younger players also have an opportunity to break through and earn time. Senior Graham Rihn, who has played as both a linebacker and a down lineman, leads the charge and will be an All-Ivy candidate after earning honorable mention honors in 2007. A two-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week pick, he led the team in tackles for loss with 10 a year ago. He has a quick first step and is relentless in pursuit. Rihn can overpower a blocker and is a sure tackler. He will be asked to provide leadership as he serves a playmaking role on the defense. Senior Brian Ostrowsky and junior Chris Costello also have significant experience after serving as reserves and will attempt to break into the spotlight in 2008. Ostrowsky is a great athlete at the position and a hard-hitter who made 29 tackles a season ago. Junior Aaron Levine will also have an opportunity to crack the rotation after being a key part of the kickoff and punt coverage teams in 2007. He made four tackles and has the speed and instincts necessary to be a key part of the defensive schemes. Sophomores Ross Mosher and Brandon Lainhart both made great impressions as freshmen when they served as members of the travel squad and saw special teams action. Mosher switched back and forth between the defensive line and the linebacker spot, but impressed the coaching staff with his high motor and constant energy on the field. Lainhart has been well coached and is a fundamental tackler and all-around playmaker who swarms to the ball. Senior Bennett Gerli and sophomore Joe Manganelli will each have opportunities to see action on special teams and to compete for playing time among the talented group of linebackers. Gerli has also been in the rotation on the defensive line and is a key utility player. Freshmen Adam Harris, Zack Imhoff, Zak Murdock and Mike Spooner will settle into the defense while attempting to earn playing time.

Meet The Big Red

2008 Cornell Big Red Football

Special Teams Cornell had one of the top special teams units in the country a season ago and returns a majority of those players for 2008. Not only was the Big Red successful in the kicking and return game, but it also accounted for seven blocked kicks and held opponents to one of the lowest punt and kickoff return averages a season ago. Senior punter Nick Maxwell returns for his third season as a starter after having a career year in 2007. Maxwell averaged 39.2 yards per kick with 14 of his 47 kicks dropped inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. The Timberline, Wash., native has great hangtime on his kicks, allowing the coverage team to make quick stops, as opponents averaged just 5.9 yards per return on 28 punts a season ago. He has averaged 38.1 yards per punt in his career and will be one of the conference’s top weapons in the specials teams area. Senior Michael Bolling is expected to return for a fifth year after suffering a knee injury and will provide a definite challenge to Maxwell’s position. He has plenty of experience, starting more than a full season for the Big Red, averaging nearly 37 yards per punt in 59 career kicks. Bolling brings a powerful and accurate leg to the table. Sophomore Drew Alston will be the third competitor at the position and showed great improvement over the last year, while spending a majority of his time kicking for the junior varsity team. He was on the travel squad throughout the year as Maxwell’s backup and will try to move up the depth chart with a good fall camp. Sophomore place-kicker Brad Greenway suffered through a myriad of injuries in the fall that carried over into the spring, but he is expected to be healthy once the 2008 season opens. Greenway has a strong, accurate leg and is likely to be the team’s kickoff specialist. Also attempting to earn time among the place-kickers is sophomore Alex Perilstein and freshman John LaBarre. Junior Bryan Walters is one of the nation’s most dangerous return men, but he will have some additional help in 2008 as a variety of players could also see time on the return team. A three-time Ivy League weekly honoree, Walters established a new school record for punt return yardage in a season (345) and career (619) by the end of his second season. He is averaging 144.4 all-purpose yards per game for his career, a mark that ranks second on the school’s all-time list behind only Hall of Famer Ed Marinaro. Walters led the Ivy League and ranked 15th nationally in all-purpose yardage (170.2 ypg.), while pacing the conference and standing 22nd nationally in punt returns (11.1 yards per return). He is outstanding in the open field and is fearless in returning punts, rarely making a fair catch. Among those with a chance to take turns in the back returning kicks are senior Shane Kilcoyne, juniors Randy Barbour and Stephen Liuzza and sophomore Vin Falkiewicz. All are quick and shifty, while also having the strength to break tackles and make yards out of little space. Two of the toughest positions to fill on the field, but among the most important, will be the long-snapper and holder position. Senior wide receiver Tommy Bleymaier, who has arguably the best hands on the team, will again be the holder on placements for the Big Red. Senior tight end Alex Spooner is the likely choice to be the team’s long snapper after serving as the backup a season ago. Fellow tight end Zach Vredenburgh and sophomore linebacker Robert Zimmerman have also taken turns and will compete for the slot in the fall.

Coaching/Staff

Frank Morand

tough. He also has great instincts and is always around the ball. Fenton got a chance to learn on the job in 2007, intercepting a pass, breaking up two others and posting 15 total tackles. With those two players likely to earn major time, juniors Josh Gajdos, Mark Longo and Nate Staruch and sophomores Aaron Randolph, Henry Ross and Andy Wade will all be in the picture. Freshmen Rashad Campbell, Chris Dennis, Zach Tally and Abdul Taylor each have an opportunity to earn playing time in their first seasons. Gajdos’ sprinter speed and cover ability have him in the mix, while Longo is a physical corner who is a sure tackler on the outside. Both players were key members of the coverage teams, while Longo was a nickel back who broke up five passes as a sophomore. Staruch has been injured for much of his career, but he also has the size and speed necessary to cause receivers problems.

General Information

Defensive Backs/Safeties The defense’s version of Cornell’s wide receiver position is at safety. Deep, talented and experienced, the safety position features two-time all-conference performer Tim Bax (free safety) and three-year starter Gus Krimm (strong safety), as well as experienced backups in seniors Anthony Sabo and Shane Connolly. Bax is the defense’s top playmaker and will be no surprise to the league’s other seven coaches, as he will be front and center in their scouting reports. Voted team MVP as a junior, Bax was a second-team All-Ivy pick in 2007 after finishing second in the Ancient Eight in tackles with 100. He added 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, four pass breakups and a forced and recovered fumble. Bax had 15-tackle games against both Yale and Columbia among his six double-figure tackles contests. An honorable mention all-league pick as a sophomore, Bax had 12 tackles, including 1.5 for a loss, against Ivy champion Harvard. He combines good size and speed with excellent football instincts and always seems to be hawking around the ball. Bax is one of the unquestioned leaders of the defense. Krimm is a hard-hitter who enters the season with 20 consecutive starts in the defensive backfield. A steady and consistent player and sure tackler, Krimm was fourth on the squad in stops as a junior with 58 and added five pass breakups and 2.5 tackles for loss. He also recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass on the season. Krimm posted a career-best 11 tackles in a win over Columbia and had six games with at least five stops a season ago. Sabo has spent the last two years on the field all over the defensive backfield, making plays whenever asked. Despite not starting games, Sabo has racked up 65 total tackles in the last two years, including a career-best 39 a season ago. A former corner, Sabo can cover a wide receiver or running back out of the backfield, or can come up to play run defense. A solid football player in all respects, he will again be a key cog in Cornell’s defensive and special teams schemes. A testament to hard work and dedication, Connolly has overcome injuries and a move from quarterback to safety to earn time as a reserve and on special teams. A tough, aggressive player, the senior played in two contests in 2007 and made one tackle. Also in the mix for playing time is junior T.J. Hochanadel and a group of sophomores in Ben Heller, Dempsey Quinn, Doug Suhey and Tyler Vivian. Walk-ons Kevin Holtzman, Sam Patterson, Alex Taheri and Matt Weiss and freshmen K.C. Aharanwa, Ryan Houska, Keaton Marks and Travers Schmidt add depth to an already strong group of performers. Cornell has a young and athletic group of corners that must gel quickly to allow the Big Red to continue its all-out attacking style on defense. There is plenty of talent to make that happen, and it will be an outstanding competition to earn playing time this fall. Returning starter Frank Morand has lettered in each of his first two seasons and was a starter in 2007. He earned Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week after making his first interception count, returning it 72 yards for a score to help defeat Central New York rival Colgate on Homecoming. He has the size (6-2) to cover the league’s bigger receivers, and is also fast enough to keep opponents in front of him. Sophomore Emani Fenton may have the biggest upside of any of the corners and has the potential to be one of the top playmakers at the position in the league. Though standing just 5-9, Fenton is an exceptional athlete and is extremely

Bucknell Individual Stats

Coaching/Staff

Luke Siwula became the sixth running back in Cornell history to surpass 2,000 yards rushing and reached the end zone a career-best three times to propel the Big Red to a season-opening 38-14 romp of Bucknell in front of 10,118 fans at Schoellkopf Field. The Big Red extended its home win streak to six games and improved to 36-11 all-time against the program’s oldest active rival, while Bucknell dropped to 1-2 on the season. Siwula scored on runs of 2, 3 and 1 yards while finishing the afternoon with 81 yards on 21 carries. The native of Cortland, N.Y., ended the evening with 2,059, just 99 yards behind Cornell Hall of Famer Gary Wood ‘64 for fifth place. While Siwula churned out the hard yards, it was Cornell’s aerial attack that left the fans in attendance buzzing. Using three, four and sometimes five receiver sets, quarterback Nathan Ford tossed for 288 yards while completing 31-of-45 passes, both marks career highs. He also ran for two short touchdowns as all five Big Red scores came on the ground. The top target was last year’s backup quarterback, Stephen Liuzza. The Slidell, La., native hauled in seven passes for 84 yards, both game highs. While the offense was hitting on all cylinders, the defense was also stout against a Bucknell offense that runs the feared spread option attack. Cornell was up to the task, allowing only 152 yards on the ground on 43 carries and limiting the Bison quarterbacks to 8-of21 passing for just 88 yards. Graham Rihn added five tackles, including two

Coaching/Staff

Two fourth down plays, one converted by Cornell and one stopped by the Big Red, made all the difference as Cornell won a tight 17-14 triumph over Central New York rival Colgate at Schoellkopf Field. The Big Red stifled the Raiders in front of a strong Homecoming crowd of 13,035. Sophomore Bryan Walters caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from junior Nathan Ford on a fourth-and-19 play with 12:01 to play in the fourth quarter to put Cornell into the lead, then the Big Red defense stuffed Raider tailback Jordan Scott on fourth-and-1 on the ensuing Colgate possession to give the home team the ball back in visitor territory. Those two plays proved to be the difference in a game that featured hardhitting defenses in a contest that neither team led by more than four points. Walters’ acrobatic catch wasn’t the only athletic highlight from the Big Red sophomore class, as defensive back Frank Morand returned an interception 72 yards for a touchdown, the Big Red’s first INT return for a score since 2001. Morand ended the day with five tackles and a career-high four pass breakups. Walters capped off a six-catch, 92-yard day with his score from junior Nathan Ford, who completed 26-of-45 passes for 285 yards and the game-winning touchdown, while the defense limited the Raiders to 265 yards of total offense. Junior Tim Bax had 10 tackles in the win, while Gus Krimm had nine stops. Jordan Scott led Colgate with 110 yards on 33 rushes, but the Raider passing game struggled to a 10-of-30 passing day for 130 yards. Quarterback Alex Relph did

Turnovers and big plays proved costly as Dartmouth opened quickly in a 59-31 victory over Cornell at Memorial Field. The Big Red got an outstanding performance off the bench by wide receiver/ quarterback Stephen Liuzza, who tallied 423 yards of total offense as the Big Red piled up 542 total yards in the loss. Cornell was done in by seven turnovers (two interceptions, five fumbles) and four plays over 50 yards, all coming in the first half. The turnovers accounted for 31 points, including two defensive scores on an interception and a fumble return for scores. Liuzza replaced an injured Nathan Ford and completed 26-of-40 passes for 292 yards and a touchdown and also scored twice on the ground en route to 131 rushing yards on 29 carries. Defensively for Cornell, Tim Bax had eight tackles and a fumble recovery, Chris Costello blocked his second punt of the year, which was recovered by Nick Zerante in the end zone for a touchdown. Graham Rihn also blocked a field goal. The Dartmouth offense didn’t struggle either, as Tom Bennewitz tossed for 339 yards and four touchdowns on just 16-of-21 passing, with both Brian Evans and Tim McManus catching two TDs apiece. The Big Green piled up 410 yards of offense in the win. Cornell 0 14 10 7 Dartmouth 7 24 14 14

Cornell Football Timeline

Few collegiate football programs have the storied history of Cornell University. With 120 seasons of football in the books, the Big Red has collected five national titles, won 600 games and has had legendary players and coaches perform on historic Schoellkopf Field. Names such as Glenn “Pop” Warner and Heisman Trophy finalist and NCAA record-breaker Ed Marinaro have suited up for Cornell, while seven College Football Hall of Famers (including Warner, Gil Dobie and Carl Snavely) and multiple-time Super Bowl winner George Seifert have set the strategy as head coaches. Now, with Cornell alum Jim Knowles ‘87 leading the program, there’s little doubt that history will continue to be made.

1869 The first football game, an intramural contest featuring 40 players per side, occurs on campus. 1874 Cornell president Andrew D. White refuses to let Cornellians travel for a football game against Michigan in Cleveland because “I refuse to let 40 of our boys travel 400 miles merely to agitate a bag of wind.” 1887 Cornell relents, and the first intercollegiate game under modern rules is played against Union College on No. 12, 1887. Union wins the game 24-10 in the contest played where Day and Stimson halls stand today. 1888 Cornell picks up its first win in program history, topping Palmyra 26-0 in the season opener on Oct. 20 en route to a 4-2 record. 1892 Glenn (Pop) Warner ‘94 saw his first football game at Cornell, thinking it was “just a schoolboy scramble with a few bloody noses,” gave it a try, and went on to become the best known of the sport’s pioneering coaches. He caused more rule changes than all other coaches combined.

Over A Century of Tradition

1897 Warner begins the first of his two coaching stints at Cornell, going 5-3-1 with wins over Syracuse and Penn State. He ended his Cornell career with a 36-13-3 record. 1901 Cornell wins a record 11 games, going 11-1 under first-year coach Ray Starbuck. Cornell outscores foes 324-38, dropping an 8-6 decision to Princeton in the eighth game of the year. It was the first points the Big Red had allowed all year.

2007 YIR/Ivy League

The Playing Fields Schoellkopf Field has been an indelible mark of Cornell football since it opened in 1915 and this year will be the 92nd season at the home field. A gift from Willard Straight ‘01 and the family of Henry (Heinie) Schoellkopf ‘02 made the construction possible for the current stadium. The Big Red’s first year on the field was one of its best, going 9-0 and winning the national championship. In 1915, General Electric Company completed work on a flood searchlight system for the field, and in 1924 a construction project was completed to bring capacity from 9,000 to 21,500 by adding the famed Crescent. In 1947 that was increased to its current capacity of 25,597 and a press box was added. In 1971 a gift was made to put artificial turf on the field, and it has since been resurfaced three times, the latest in 1999. The 2008 season saw installation of FieldTurf synthetic grass to replace the artificial turf. A new press box was built in 1986. Schoellkopf Memorial Hall, which houses the Big Red football offices, locker rooms and a tradition room, finished a renovation in 2006. Schoellkopf Field is the fourth-oldest Division I-AA stadium, opening in 1915. Only Penn’s Franklin Field (1895), Harvard Stadium (1903) and the Yale Bowl (1914) are older. Its capacity of 25,597 ranks as the eighthlargest stadium in Division I-AA. Tennessee State’s Coliseum seats 67,500 to lead all stadiums. The record crowd, when there were bleachers in the end zones and beneath the Crescent and west stands, was 35,300 for Michigan, Nov. 10, 1951. The playing area before World War I was Percy Field, alongside Fall Creek, the present site of Ithaca HS.

Jerome “Brud” Holland ‘39 The college football Hall of Famer is known for much more than being the first black football player at Cornell. A two-time first-team All-American at end, Holland scored 10 career touchdowns, and later watched as his son, Joe Holland ‘78, became one of the school’s all-time leading rushers. But it was his greatness as a statesman that earned him international fame.

1919 The Big Red plays its first of six games in seven years at the Polo Grounds against Dartmouth and Columbia, going 3-3.

1938 Cornell begins its second-longest win streak (18) with a win over Penn State. The streak ends with the Fifth Down game two years later. 1939 The 1939 team goes 8-0 and claims the program’s fifth national crown and is the Lambert Trophy winner, with Cornell defeating Syracuse, Princeton, Penn State, Big Ten champion Ohio State, Columbia, Colgate, Dartmouth and Penn. Cornell overcame a 14-0 deficit in the first quarter to beat the powerful Buckeyes 23-14 in Columbus. The rumor of an invite to the Rose Bowl was quickly quelled by the Big Red administration, which did not want to further strain the players ‘ academic situations.

Do You Know Bo? You should ... a sensational three-sport star at Cornell (football, track and field and basketball), Irvin “Bo” Roberson ‘58 still holds the Cornell record for longest kickoff return (100 yards). The late Dick Schaap ‘55, a legendary Cornellian himself, said Roberson was the greatest natural athlete ever in the Ivy League.

History/Records

Since 1995, the winner of the Cornell-Penn football game has been awarded the Trustees’ Cup. Alumni from Penn and Cornell gathered at the New York Penn Club on Sept. 6, 1995 for the dedication of the Trustees’ Cup, which thereafter has been presented to the winner of the annual football game. The idea evolved from a series of discussions between officials and alumni of both universities, focusing on what would be the best way to honor one of college football’s most celebrated rivalries. The decision was made to establish an award to be presented at an annual luncheon, with the winning team taking the prize home and displaying it for a year.

Some of Cornell’s Greatest Games ...

Coaching/Staff

Arguably the greatest example of sportsmanship in the history of athletic competition, the Nov. 16, 1940 Cornell-Dartmouth game has become known as the “Fifth Down Game.” The Big Red, ranked No. 1 in the nation and riding an 18-game win streak, seemingly escaped Hanover, N.H., with a 7-3 victory against the underdog Big Green, scoring on a 6-yard touchdown pass by Walter Scholl on the game’s final play. After reviewing game film on Monday, Coach Carl Snavely and acting athletic director Robert J. Kane wired Dartmouth officials to tell them Cornell scored on an inadvertent fifth down, as referee Red Friesell had lost track of the downs. After Snavely called a team meeting later that day, he let the players make the decision on how to handle the situation. Led by captain Walt Matuszak, Cornell voted to forfeit the contest. Though there were no rules compelling the outcome to be changed, in an unprecedented act of sportsmanship, the Big Red relinquished claims to the win. The Big Green accepted the forfeit and the 3-0 victory. It remains the only time a collegiate sporting contest has been decided off the field after the completion of a game.

Cornell Football Legends Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner • Gridiron’s Greatest Strategist Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner was a colorful individual during his playing days at Cornell and then during an illustrious, uninterrupted 45-year coaching career. Warner was born in Springville, N.Y., on April 5, 1871, only two days after the first college football game between Princeton and Rutgers. Not only was he one of Cornell’s outstanding football players, but he also excelled in track and field, and was its heavyweight boxing champion in 1893. Upon graduation from Cornell Law School in 1895, Warner began his coaching career at Georgia. He returned to his alma mater for the 1897-98 seasons, then went to Carlisle from 1899-1903. “Pop” came back to Ithaca for a second stint coaching the Big Red from 1904-06, before heading back to Carlisle, where he coached legendary Jim Thorpe. After leaving Carlisle in 1914, Warner later coached at Pittsburgh (1915-23), Stanford (1924-32) and Temple (1933-38). At the age of 67, he returned to his permanent residence of Palo Alto, Calif., and served as an advisory coach at San Jose State from 1939-40. After coaching 44 All-Americans and introducing so many of the football practices that we still use today, Warner returned to his oil and water paints, and to his work bench. His imaginative mind produced the screen pass, the rolling block, the naked reverse, series plays and the unbalanced line. He also introduced the numbering of players, huddle, wearing of headgear, spiral punt and the blocking dummy. Warner was the only coach ever to actually invent a system of offense. “Pop” died on Sept. 7, 1954, at age 83, 25 years after founding the Pop Warner Youth Football League, which is still a mainstay for nearly all young football players. Thirty-nine years after his death, Warner passed the late Amos Alonzo Stagg and became the second winningest coach in major college football. In 1993, Warner was credited by the NCAA with six more victories, increasing his total to 319, with Stagg having 314. His overall 44-year coaching record was 319-106-29. On July 25, 1997, the U.S. Postal Service issued four stamps commemorating Warner, Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers, George Halas of the Chicago Bears and Paul “Bear” Bryant of the University of Alabama.

Pete Gogolak • Just For Kicks A football innovator, Pete Gogolak introduced soccer-style kicking to American football. He was the first player to kick soccer-style in the college and professional ranks. While at Cornell, Gogolak set a major college record by connecting on 44 consecutive kick conversions from 1961 to 1963 and still holds the Cornell record for consecutive conversions and career conversion percentage (.982, 54-of-55). His 50-yard field goal vs. Lehigh in 1963 was the nation’s longest in a major college game. He booted nine career field goals, including eight of 40 yards or more. After Cornell, Gogolak signed with the Buffalo Bills after being drafted in the 12th round of the AFL Draft. He played two seasons with the Bills, including kicking for the 1965 AFL champion team. He was named kicker of the AFL all-pro team and in 1984, was named to the Silver Anniversary all-time team. After playing out his option with Buffalo, Gogolak signed with the New York Giants and played 10 seasons, becoming the franchise’s all-time leading scorer and kicking the longest field goal in team history (54 yards). As of 2006, he is still the leading scorer in Giants history. Gogolak’s family came to the United States from Hungary in 1956. His brother, Charlie, is the all-time top place-kicker in the history of Princeton football. The family’s story was featured in Life Magazine in 1963.

Gary Wood • The No. 1 Option In a game where quarterbacks beat teams with both their arms and legs, Gary Wood was a pioneer. Wood remains one of the great all-around players in Ivy League history more than 40 years after he last dressed for the Big Red. A three-time AP All-Ivy first-team and two-time Coaches All-Ivy first-team pick, Wood was named to the AP’s All-East squad as a senior. He set Ivy League records for career total offense (3,457 yards) and rushing (2,156 yards) as well as single-season total offense (1,612 yards in 1962) and rushing (813 yards in ‘62). He also held the record for total offense in a game (387 yards vs. Penn, 1962). An explosive player, Wood scored on plays of 40 yards or more six times in his three seasons, including an 89-yard kickoff return and an 80-yard run in 1963. He was named one of four “Most Spectacular Players” of the 1962 season and was named national “Back of the Week” by the AP and Sports Illustrated for his 1962 performance in a win over Princeton. He remains the only player in Ivy League history to rush for 2,000 yards and pass for 1,000 more. That doesn’t even take into account his 1,326 yards on 50 returns (26.5 yard average). After graduating from Cornell, Wood joined the New York Giants. Standing just 5-11 and weighing 185 pounds, many said he was too small to play quarterback in the NFL. Wood proved his naysayers wrong, playing five years with the Giants and another with the New Orleans Saints. He later played with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League.

In his three seasons as Cornell’s tailback (1969-70-71), Ed Marinaro set rushing and scoring records wholesale and won every major honor with the exception of the Heisman Trophy, for which he placed a close second to quarterback Pat Sullivan of Auburn University. In the 24th game of his 27-game career, against Columbia at Ithaca, he broke Steve Owens’ all-time NCAA career rushing record of 3,867 yards, set in 1969, by gaining 272 yards for a total of 4,132—the first player to go over the 4,000 mark in three seasons. He finished up with 4,715. During his three years at Cornell, he set an NCAA season record of 1,881 yards and a season per-game average of 209.0. His career average of 174.6 is also an NCAA record. Overall he established eight NCAA career records and tied another, six NCAA single-season records and three other NCAA records. Marinaro won the national triple-crown in 1971—rushing, all-purpose running and scoring, each based on game-average. All-purpose running includes pass receiving and kick returns. He averaged 214.7 yards with 51 on pass receptions. He still holds 11 Ivy League records, including career and season rushing yardage (3,391 and 1,375), carries (707 and 275), touchdowns (36 and 16) and points scored (224 and 100). He was inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame in 1991.

Running With The Best During his four-year career in a Big Red uniform, tailback Chad Levitt rushed for 4,657 yards, coming just 59 yards shy of breaking the all-time Cornell and Ivy League rushing records. A freak elbow injury in the ninth game of the ‘96 season kept him from shattering the mark. Levitt led the Ivy League in rushing, scoring and all-purpose running per game for three straight years. During the 1996 season, he rushed for 1,435 yards on 267 carries for the second-best season ever at Cornell. The three-time All-Ivy first-team back was named ECAC Division I-AA Player of the Year, the Asa S.

Academic All-America Hall of Fame • Joe Holland ‘78 Joe Holland ‘78, one of the great players in Cornell football history, was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame in 1991. The two-time academic All-American ran for nearly 1,400 yards as a senior. At that time, only legendary Cornellian Ed Marinaro had rushed for more. The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) had Holland give the keynote address at the 2003 convention in Cleveland. The son of fellow Cornell Athletic Hall of Famer Jerome “Brud” Holland, Joe Holland was a third team All-American in 1978.

• The 14 counties in the Finger Lakes Region cover more than 9,000 square miles, or roughly the size of New Hampshire or Vermont, and slightly larger than the state of New Jersey. • Ithaca offers more restaurants per capita than New York City. • The Sagan Planet Walk, built to honor the memory of Ithaca resident and Cornell University astronomer Carl Sagan, is a true-to-scale model of our solar system. It is one of the only walkable “planet walks” in the world. The Sciencenter, Ithaca’s hands-on museum and outdoor science playground, is the sponsor of the Sagan Planet Walk, and is one of eight museums involved in the partnership of educational attractions called the DISCOVERY TRAIL. Some others include the Museum of the Earth and Cornell’s Laboratory of Ornithology.

The beauty of Ithaca and the Cornell campus is unmatched. Ithaca is host to over 150 waterfalls, all of which lie within a 10-mile radius of downtown. Tompkins County is also home to three of the six gorge parks in New York state. Among the amazing sites is Taughannock Falls (above). At 215 feet high, Taughannock has a greater vertical drop than Niagara Falls. Below, Ithaca Falls is one of the more spectacular sights, located just minutes from the Cornell campus.

In the mid 1800s, two New York state senators, Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, shared the bold dream of founding a “truly great university.” Cornell, a plain-spoken inventor, wanted “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study,” including the mechanical arts and agriculture. White, a scholarly graduate of Oxford and Yale, yearned to establish a university where “truth shall be taught for truth’s sake” in the arts and sciences. Together they created a nonsectarian university that was the first in the eastern United States to admit women and that pioneered the concept of elective courses. Their egalitarian vision and innovative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in 1868, continue to guide the university today. Cornell includes 13 colleges and schools. On the Ithaca campus are the seven undergraduate units—the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering; the School of Hotel Administration; the College of Human Ecology; and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations—as well as four graduate and professional units: the Graduate School, the Law School, the Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the College of Veterinary Medicine. (The Weill Medical College and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences are in New York City.) An Ivy League university that is also the land grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a unique combination of public and private divisions committed to teaching, research, and public service. Cornell’s 13,700 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate and professional students come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Interdisciplinary study and research are

Cornell hallmarks, as is attention to undergraduate education. The university’s 2,200 faculty members are active teachers as well as researchers—Nobel laureates often conduct introductory courses— and the lines of traditional disciplines are easily crossed. Engineering students dabble in photography; theatre arts students explore the world of computers; physics majors learn landscape architecture. National Science Foundation studies on programs in research and development at U.S. universities consistently rank Cornell among the top 10 or 11 in total research and development expenditures, and in federally financed expenditures. Cornell ranks second among U.S. universities in funds allocated by the National Science Foundation for programs in academic science and engineering. Cornell has five national research centers: the Center for High Energy Synchrotron Studies, the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (which operates the world’s largest radio-radar telescope, in

Cornell may be a cutting-edge research university, but that doesn’t mean undergraduate education is an afterthought. A Cornell undergrad could spend the morning in a meeting with a professor for an independent study and the afternoon in large survey courses like psych 101. Students here work hard. Besides attending classes, there’s reading, writing, and research, not to mention preparing for exams. But students still find time to build friendships, volunteer off campus, hold part-time jobs and play sports. And while some students spend their four years close to campus, many go farther afield. They study natural medicinals in South America, marine biology off the coast of Maine, and public policy in Albany, N.Y. In addition to universityrun programs in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Rome, Italy, Cornellians travel to sites around the world, polishing their language skills and broadening their horizons.

Cornell University Library’s 17 Ithaca-campus units provide an array of reference, information, and instructional services. At the southeast edge of the Arts Quad, Olin and Kroch libraries house the largest concentration of resources in the humanities, social sciences, and area studies, including extensive Asia collections, and rare books, manuscripts, and archival materials. Mann Library, on the Ag Quad, has materials in agriculture, biology, biotechnology, and related fields. Other libraries specialize in African and African American studies, engineering, entomology, the fine arts, hotel management, industrial and labor relations, law, management, mathematics, music, the physical sciences, and veterinary medicine. Famed for its woodlands, gorges, and waterfalls, the 745-acre main campus is on a hilltop overlooking Ithaca, a lively city of about 30,000 situated at the southern end of 44-mile-long Cayuga Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of New York state. Campus attractions of special interest include the Johnson Museum of Art, the Cornell Plantations, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Sapsucker Woods wildlife sanctuary. The heart of New York state’s wine-growing region is less than an hour away, as are the Corning Glass Center and Museum and the Watkins Glen auto circuit. New York City is about a four-hour drive from Ithaca.

General Information

At a research institution, scholars don’t just acquire knowledge — they help create it. Cornell’s faculty members have garnered such prizes as the Nobel and the Pulitzer, not to mention MacArthur “genius” grants and countless other honors. These same luminaries teach undergraduate classes and include students on their research teams. Cornell serves as a land grant institution, receiving funding from New York State for its colleges of Human Ecology, Agriculture and Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine and for its School of Industrial and Labor Relations. In return, the university offers reduced tuition to state residents in those colleges and helps citizens apply the research generated here to improve the state’s economy and the health of its people. A network of more than 200,000 alumni around the world supports the efforts of current students by sponsoring internships, offering career counseling and mentorship, and providing much of the financial support that maintains the university’s world-class libraries, laboratories, and faculty. Four thousand courses offered by nearly 100 departments, more interdisciplinary programs than you’ll find at any other university in the country, research opportunities for undergraduates in nearly every field, and faculty-guided independent study give you the wherewithal to shape a program that speaks to your interests and passions and grows with you over your four years here.

TOM HOWLEY 14th Year at Cornell Assistant Director of Athletics for Athlete Performance Tom Howley has been the strength and conditioning coach at Cornell since July 1995. In that role, he oversees the design and implementation of athletic performance programs for Cornell’s 36 varsity sports. The comprehensive, year-round programs include strength and power development, mobility skill training and conditioning, and are implemented in a motivating, team-oriented environment. Prior to his arrival at Cornell, Howley was the assistant director of strength and conditioning at East Carolina University from 1991-1995. During these seasons, the Pirates participated in two bowl games (1992 Peach Bowl and 1995 Liberty Bowl), qualified for the NCAA baseball regional tournament (1994) and played in the NCAA basketball tournament (1993). Howley was a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Auburn University from 1989-91, where he earned his master’s degree in exercise physiology. The Tigers were the 1989 Southeastern Conference co-champions, the 1990 Hall of Fame Bowl and the 1991 Peach Bowl champions. Howley also served as an assistant coach with the special teams. A 1988 graduate of Tulane, Howley earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and was a three-year letterman and two year starting offensive lineman on the football team.

Champions are crowned during the season, but championships are earned long before competition begins. Cornell’s 900 varsity athletes have exclusive access to one of the newest and best training facilities in the nation—the 8,000-squarefoot Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center. Completed in June 1997, this impressive $2 million addition to Bartels Hall reflects the university’s strong commitment to athletic excellence. Coaches and team members alike credit the center, its world-class equipment, and first-rate staff with adding immensely to the success of the Big Red athletic program. The Friedman Center contains freeweight, selectorized, plyometric, and cardiovascular equipment and has been designed to meet the diverse training needs of Cornell’s athletes. The center can accommodate up to 100 users at a time without compromising safety or function. Its unique features include airconditioning, a 175-watt stereo system, and damage-resistant flooring. Cornell’s varsity strength and conditioning program—nicknamed “Big Red Power”—focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injury. The new facility and equipment enable the staff to prescribe year-round sport-specific programs with variety and precision. Before the training programs are designed, the muscular and metabolic needs for each sport—and for each position within the sport—are analyzed. Athletes are then assessed to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses, and follow-up assessments are conducted at regular intervals. Comprehensive workouts are prescribed to address deficiencies and promote the development of skills used during competition. Injury prevention also is emphasized. Through resistance training, the number and the severity of injuries are reduced. If an injury does occur, the strength and conditioning staff works closely with the sports medicine staff to ensure a safe and complete rehabilitation. The objective is to allow the athlete to resume full participation as soon as possible.

CHRIS WLOSINSKI 10th Year at Cornell The Andrew ‘78 & Margaret Paul Assistant Director of Athletics for Student Services and Compliance Chris Wlosinski took over the role of the Andrew ‘78 and Margaret Paul Director of Student-Athlete Support Services in August 2001 and was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director for Student Services and Compliance in March 2005. In her position, she has assumed a dedicated role focused on student-athlete support and compliance with NCAA and Ivy League rules. Cornell and its counterparts embrace a philosophy that includes the notion that student-athletes should experience a mainstream collegiate life, but the university also recognized the extra demands placed on this special population. In August of 1998, the position, the first of its kind in the Ivy League, was created, a role that asks Wlosinski to work as an available and reliable adviser who understands the lifestyle student-athletes lead and assists them in balancing their academic, athletic and personal challenges. In this capacity she also serves as a liaison with the colleges and directs student-athletes to appropriate campus-wide resources for academic and personal needs. When Wlosinski first joined the Big Red program, she worked collaboratively with the director of student-athlete support services, coaches and administrators to provide counseling and academic support services serving 36 varsity sports. She developed and maintained personal contacts with ad-

ministrators and professors throughout Cornell’s seven colleges, and she assisted the director in monitoring the academic progress of student-athletes. Most of Wlosinski’s time is devoted to personal meetings with student-athletes, and while the bulk of her work focuses on freshmen, sophomores and transfer students, she does assist athletes from all classes and across all colleges at Cornell. Wlosinski came to Cornell in August 1999 and worked in compliance, student services and event management. In June 2000, she accepted the position of associate director of alumni affairs and development for athletics where she served until assuming her current position. Prior to joining the Cornell staff, Wlosinski spent a year each as an athletics administrative intern at Bates College and Plymouth State College. She also served as a special education teacher for the learning disabled for seven years in Lancaster, Pa. Wlosinski graduated from Millersville University in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in special education and from Plymouth State College in 1999 with a master’s degree in education.

Schoellkopf Field has undergone many great changes, resulting in today’s magnificent structure. During the 19th century, many of Cornell’s athletic teams trained on Percy Field where Ithaca High School now stands. During the early 1900s, though, Cornell’s population grew quickly and Percy Field was no longer suitable for the growing number of Cornell athletes. Gradually, the idea of having adequate athletic facilities on campus developed. The Alumni Field Committee was created to consider this possibility and they persuaded the university set aside land for a field. The committee“strove, pled, and prayed”for donations to the proposed athletic facilities. Because of a generous donation from Willard Straight ’01, the construction of a field house was made possible.

The Ivy League The Ivy League is truly one of a kind. While the 2006-07 academic year marked the 50th season of official Ivy League athletic competition, the rivalries and traditions in the League go so much deeper. The first official athletic competition between League schools was more than 150 years ago (1852, Harvard-Yale rowing) and the first football game was more than 130 years ago (1872, Columbia-Yale). In the early days, the Ivy schools dominated college athletics. All-America status, Olympic medals and national championships were routinely earned by students from the Ancient Eight. Today, Ivy Leaguers continue to claim national titles and Olympic medals — as well as All-America and Academic All-America status. Hundreds continue athletic careers as professionals and hundreds more as coaches and athletic administrators. The student-athletes also are among the nation’s leading public servants, doctors, journalists, lawyers, scientists, scholars, business leaders, entertainers, educators and so much more. The success of the League comes without athletic scholarships while maintaining self-imposed high academic standards. The Ivy League has demonstrated a rare willingness and ability, given the pressures on intercollegiate success throughout the nation, to abide by these rules and still compete successfully in Division I athletics. Sponsoring conference championships in 33 men’s and women’s sports, and averaging more than 35 varsity teams at each school, the Ivy League provides intercollegiate athletic opportunities for more men and women than any other conference in the country. All eight Ivy schools are among the “top 20” of NCAA Division I schools in number of sports offered for both men and women. The term “Ivy colleges” was first in October, 1933 by Stanley Woodward of the New York Herald Tribune to describe the eight current Ivy schools (plus Army). On Feb. 8, 1935, Associated Press sports editor Alan Gould first used the exact term “Ivy League.” The first “Ivy Group Agreement,” signed in 1945, applied only to football. It affirmed the observance of common practices in academic standards and eligibility requirements and the administration of need-based financial aid, with no athletic scholarships. The agreement created the Presidents Policy Committee, including the eight Presidents; the Coordination and Eligibility Committee, made up of one senior non-athletic administrator from each school; and the committee on Administration, comprised of the eight directors of athletics. The Ivy Presidents extended the Ivy Group Agreement to all intercollegiate sports in February 1954. Their statement also focused on presidential governance of the League, the importance of intra-League competition, and a desire that recruited athletes be academically ‘representative’ of each institution1s overall student body. Although that is the League1s offi cial founding date, the fi rst year of competition was 1956-57. The Ivy League office is housed in Princeton, N.J., under the leadership of Executive Director Jeffrey H. Orleans, who has been at that post since 1984.

Prominent Cornell Alumni


To be a Cornellian is to be among the best and Cornell University’s intercollegiate athletic program is no different, ranking among the nation’s elite. The Big Red competes at the highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition as an NCAA Division I institution. Rich tradition and history follow Cornell athletics throughout the university’s storied past. Cornellians have been national champions in ice hockey, lacrosse, polo, rowing, track and field and wrestling. They have also earned spots in halls of fame, on All-America teams, on the Olympic medal podium and have written their names in record books as Wimbledon tennis champions and major league players in baseball, basketball, football and hockey. More recently, Cornell has won 45 Ivy League titles in the last five years, including eight during the 2007-08 season. That is only part of the equation. Over the last six seasons, the Big Red has had 16 student-athletes named Academic All-Americans.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics and Physical Education strives to provide students with powerful and meaningful participatory experiences that forge enduring bonds with Cornell, and to provide for the well-being of members of the faculty, staff, and community. We offer a diverse program of physical and outdoor education, recreational services, and intercollegiate athletic competition, equitably adminstered with special attention to the needs of women and members of under-represented minority groups. We foster the values of physical fitness, total well-being, and enduring participation in athletics; teach leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, and accountability; and administer programs that can be critical to the educational and personal development of students in keeping with the high standards of Cornell, the Ivy League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The department promotes pride and unity within the university community and provides opportunities to develop, strengthen and maintain ties to external audiences such as alumni, friends, the educational community, and the general public by attracting interest, recognition and support.

Going National The Big Red participated in 18 NCAA tournaments or national meets in 2007-08 while getting All-America performances from 23 student-athletes. Cornell athletes were also recognized for their academic performances, garnering an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America selection and a record 15 All-District bids. CORNELL BY THE NUMBERS ... The senior class of 2008 combined for a record 31 Ivy titles in their four seasons, continuing the program’s storied success in athletics.
