2009 Eastern Michigan University FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2009 Outlook YPSILANTI, Mich. — For first-year Head Football Coach Ron English, it is all about the process. English, who was named EMU’s head football coach Dec. 23, 2008, has been on a fast track since taking over the reins. From selecting a staff, to recruiting his first class of football players, to developing his blueprint for success at EMU, English has been plenty busy during his first six months on the job. And through all of the hustle and bustle of his day-to-day activities, English knows that without a plan, all of the hard work will not pay off. “For me, the entire situation is all about the process,” English explained. “You can have great ideas and hopes for success, but you have to have a process in place to reach your goals. Everything must be done with one goal in mind, to make sure that everyone understands their role in how we do things here at Eastern Michigan University.” The coaching staff, with the exception of one holdover from last season, is entirely new and English has worked tirelessly with every coach to ensure that they all share the same goals and ideals of how to make the program a success. Those goals were presented to the returning players during the 2009

spring drills. “One of our major goals is to build a team that understands what physical toughness is, and more importantly, what mental toughness is,” English explained. “Obviously, we will install both our offense and defense so that our players have an understanding of the concepts involved in both. “We want to teach our players how to win in terms of situations, and also the importance of field position and turnovers,” English added. “We want to be able to run the ball and also be accomplished in defending the run.” English and his staff also understand the importance of the evaluation process when new coaches work with a team for the first time on the field. “We wanted to evaluate every returning player in spring practice,” English said. “That was the right thing and the fair thing to do. We evaluated each player and then made the decisions on who will be the first guys to run out on the field and so forth. “What we ultimately want to do is build a program where we feel good about playing a lot of football players,” English explained. “ For example, we don’t want to have starters and not worry about the rest of the guys. We would like to create a program with a lot of depth.

“We’re really not going into the season with any preconceived notions, but we are going in with the thought that we want to develop a team through tough, hard practices, build fundamentals, and install our philosophies on offense and defense.” That initial learning process began in spring ball and continues into the fall with a core group of 47 returning lettermen, 23 on offense and 24 on defense. The 2008 Eagles rolled up recordbreaking efforts in three games last year and the top two quarterbacks from that offensive machine return in senior Andy Schmitt (6-4, 238, Sr.-Sr.) and junior Kyle McMahon (6-3, 208, Jr.-Jr.). Both signal callers turned in strong performances in 2008 and will provide solid depth at that position. Schmitt started 10 of 11 games in which he played last year and completed 261-of-417 passes for 2,644 yards and 15 touchdowns. Schmitt also finished third on the team in rushing with 171 yards on 57 carries with five touchdowns on the ground. In addition, Schmitt was named the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week for the Central Michigan (Nov. 28) game after setting a national record for pass completions with 58.

FIELDTURF — THE FUTURE OF SPORTS SURFACING While most synthetic surfaces are simply a carpet with an underpadding, FieldTurf surfaces have a thickness and density like natural grass. The resiliency of the FieldTurf surface is generated not from an underpadding, but from the shock absorbing infill surrounding each blade of smooth synthetic grass. The turf is virtually non abrasive and allows athletes to slide, pivot and twist their cleats in the surface unlike any other synthetic grass field. The special infill gives FieldTurf the same torque release as natural grass. Ample spacing between each blade of tufted FieldTurf fiber allows cleated shoes to easily penetrate, rotate and release, minimizing the chance of motion related injury. The oil base in the hybrid synthetic fibers naturally coat each blade of FieldTurf grass, making it smooth and soft on the skin. Athletes can comfortably slide on the turf, without risk of painful “turf-burn” injuries. This system maintains its resilient qualities over time and will not stiffen, so athletes can enjoy a consistent and natural “bounce” to the surface throughout the life of the field. Legendary Nebraska football coach, Dr. Tom Osborne said of the turf: “I believe FieldTurf has a great future. The design concept is different from any other, combining the durable features of artificial turf with the safety and playability benefits of natural grass.”

Eastern Michigan won the 2007 title and kept control of the trophy in 2008.

Did You Know? One of the cornerstones of the Eastern Michigan University athletic program, Dr. Lloyd W. Olds, is the man responsible for the invention of the striped referee shirt used today. Olds was a member of EMU’s faculty for 42 years and was a coach, athletic director and head of intramurals. While an undergraduate student in 1914, Olds began refereeing high school basketball games. “The referee often looked very much like a player,” Olds said, “so the lads often threw the ball to me or bounced it off my head. I had a knitting concern make up a special shirt for me. The shirt had broad black and white stripes. I took plenty of ribbing when I first appeared in it but the idea caught on among both basketball and football officials.” That striped shirt is now a universal symbol of the authority of game officials throughout the world. Olds retired from EMU after serving the institution he loved for 42 years. He died in 1982. The Olds-Robb Student Recreation/Intramural Complex on the EMU campus is a fitting memorial to the man of stripes.

EMU COACHING STAFF

First-Year Head Coach - Ron English

2009 Eastern Michigan University FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Coaching Staff Head Coach

Ron English First Year at EMU • California, 1990

Ron English has prepared a lifetime to call a football program his own and he has not wasted any time in putting his stamp on Eastern Michigan University football. After serving as an assistant football coach at four of the nation’s top football schools, English was named the head football coach at Eastern Michigan University, Dec. 22, 2008. “When we began this search for a new head football coach at Eastern Michigan University we wanted someone that we felt could take our program in a new direction,” EMU Director of Athletics Dr. Derrick Gragg said at the press conference announcing English as Eastern’s new head football coach. “After going through an exhaustive search process we selected Ron English to lead our football program. He has proven himself as a tremendous defensive coordinator over a long career and we feel that he is prepared to take over our football team as a head coach.” That patience in learning the game at several stops has paid big dividends for the highly energetic English as he begins the task of rebuilding the EMU football program in all phases of the operation. Just minutes after finishing the press conference, the 40-year-old English was a on a mission to hire a staff, hit 66

the road to begin the task of signing his first recruiting class as a head coach and developing the blueprint for success. That dedication to detail in his early days reflects one of English’s strongest traits and is reflected in his theme for his first EMU season: Embrace the Process. English accepted the challenge of developing a winning atmosphere at EMU after spending the previous 15 years learning the college football trade at the University of Louisville, the University of Michigan, Arizona State University and San Diego State University. English spent the 2008 season as an assistant football coach at Louisville and just prior to that was a member of the University of Michigan football staff from 2003-07 where he coached the defensive backs for his first three seasons and served as the football program’s defensive coordinator in his final two seasons under legendary Head Coach Lloyd Carr. In 2007 English oversaw an aggressive Michigan defense that was the nation’s eighth-ranked pass defense and 17th in pass efficiency defense. The Wolverines were also 23rd in scoring defense and 24th in total defense. English was named Rivals.com National Defensive Coordinator of the Year during his initial season as the defensive signal caller at Michigan in 2006. That Wolverine defense rated among the nation’s best, finishing first against the run, fourth in sacks, seventh in third-down defense, 10th in total defense and 15th in scoring defense. The U-of-M defensive secondary collected 36 interceptions during his three seasons overseeing the entire corps and turned four of those

picks into touchdowns. In addition, the Wolverines yielded just 37 touchdown passes by the opposition during that time, including an NCAA-leading nine in 2003. English became the first coach in NCAA history to have two defensive backs earn consensus All-America honors in the same season, since the organization began incorporating both an offensive and defensive team in 1965, as cornerback Marlin Jackson and safety Ernest Shazor earned the recognition following the 2004 season. During his tenure on the Michigan staff he coached an All-Big Ten defensive back in every season and had two AllConference selections in four of his five seasons. English made an immediate impact on the Wolverine secondary during his first season as an assistant coach when U-M tied for the national lead in fewest

2009 Eastern Michigan University FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Coaching Staff touchdown passes yielded with nine, and finished ninth in pass efficiency defense. The secondary collected 13 interceptions and returned two for scores. English began his collegiate coaching career as the defensive backs coach at Mt. San Antonio College (1993) in Walnut, Calif. after coaching for one season at Ganesha High School (1992), his alma mater, in Pomona, Calif. English also tutored the secondary for two seasons at San Diego State (199697) and served as the outside linebackers coach at Northern Arizona for the 1996 spring practice. He then went on to spent five seasons (1998-2002) as an assistant foot-

ball coach at Arizona State University. He coached the secondary all five years with the Sun Devils, the final two years with the cornerbacks and the previous three seasons mentoring the safeties. He helped ASU to three bowl appearances: the 1999 and 2000 Aloha and 2002 Holiday bowls. His first stint at ASU was as a graduate assistant coach handling the defensive line during the 1994-95 seasons. English was a four-year letterman (1987-90) and senior starter at safety for the University of California Golden Bears football squad. He also started on special teams all four seasons at California. English finished his career with 134 tackles and seven sacks and

participated in the 1990 Copper Bowl against Wyoming. His identical twin brother, Don, also played for the Golden Bears. A 1990 graduate of the University of California-Berkeley with a bachelor’s degree in social sciences, English earned his master’s degree in education administration from Arizona State in 1995. English will be one of seven African-American head coaches in the 120-school NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision ranks. English and his wife, Sophia (Woodard) have three children; Simon (10), Sydney (5) and Seth (4).

Game 1 - Indiana State Game 1 Indiana State at EMU Thursday, Aug. 28, 2008 Rynearson Stadium Ypsilanti, Mich. 7 p.m. - Attendance: 17,494 (Paid) 2008 Season and Home Opener

EMU OPENS SEASON WITH 52-0 SHUTOUT OF INDIANA STATE Eagles rack up school-record 637 yards in total offense YPSILANTI, Mich. - The Eastern Michigan University football team used a highpowered offense and a stifling defense to hand a visiting Indiana State University squad a 52-0 shutout here Thursday night (Aug. 28) in Rynearson Stadium in the season opener for both teams. It was the first shutout for EMU since the Eagles defeated Akron, 45-0, Oct. 18, 1997. With the win, the Eagles start the season 1-0 for the first time since 2004, while Indiana State drops to 0-1 to start the 2008 season. EMU piled up a team-record 637 yards of total offense, including 413 on the ground. Senior tailback Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby) racked up 176 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Eagles’ ground attack. Sophomore Dwayne Priest (Roanoke, Va.-Fleming-Fork Union) rushed for 39 yards and two scores on just eight rushing attempts. Junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s Mich.-St. John’s) completed 15-of-20 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown through the air, while rushing for 33 yards and a score on the ground. Defensively, senior Jermaine Jenkins (Saginaw, Mich.-Saginaw) turned in two interceptions for the Green and White, while safety Dwayne Harrison (North Miami Beach, Fla.-North Miami Beach) picked off one as well. The Eagles yielded only 132 yards of total offense to the Sycamores, allowing ISU just seven first downs on the evening. The Eagles took little time getting on the board, taking the ball on their first possession and driving 80 yards in just nine plays to go up 7-0 on a Blevins four-yard carry and a Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.-Dacula-Palomar (Calif.) J.C.) PAT. ISU punted on its ensuing possession, giving the Eagles back the ball just over a minute later. On the first play of the drive, Blevins broke through the line, taking it 61 yards to the end zone. Another Carithers’ PAT staked the Eagles to a 14-0 lead, just eight minutes into the game. EMU continued to increase its lead in the second quarter, tacking another 14 points on the board before halftime. Senior wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) reeled in a 14-yard pass from Schmitt to give the Eagles a threetouchdown lead. Jenkins’ first interception with 9:20 to go in the second quarter set up another scoring drive for the home team, with Priest finding the end zone just over two minutes later. EMU entered halftime with a 28-0 lead, allowing the Sycamores just 95 yards of total offense, while the Eagles totaled 365 yards of their own in the first 30 minutes of the contest. Following halftime, EMU continued to roll. Schmitt rushed for his first touchdown of the season, escaping a tackle behind the line and turning it into six points. Carithers once again added the PAT to put the Eagles on top, 35-0. After forcing another threeand-out by the Sycamores, EMU put together a seven-play scoring drive, highlighted by true freshman Marvon Sanders’ (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Ypsilanti) 51-yard run, going on top, 42-0. The Eagles put another three points on the board when Carithers hit his first EMU field goal, putting the home team on top 45-0. Redshirt freshman Jason Williams (Dayton, Ohio-Miamisburg) completed the scoring for the home team when he rushed for his first career score and Zach Johnson (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) added the PAT, pushing the score to 52-0.

Game 2 - Michigan State Game 2 EMU at Michigan State Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008 Spartan Stadium East Lansing, Mich. Noon - Attendance: 71,789 Big Ten Network Television

EMU DROPS ROAD DECISION AT MICHIGAN STATE Eagles see record evened at 1-1 with 42-10 setback EAST LANSING, Mich. — The Eastern Michigan University football team fell to Michigan State University, 42-10, in front of 71,789 at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Mich. The Spartans tallied 418 yards of total offense, including 238 on the ground, compared to 342 for the Eagles. With the loss the Eagles fall to 1-1 on the young season, while the Spartans even their record at 1-1. Junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) led the Eagles offensively, going 11-for-23 for 111 yards via the air, while rushing for 46 yards. Sophomore quarterback Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame Prep) was also3-of-8 for 108 yards. Senior tailback Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby) led the Eagles’ rushing attack with nine carries for 54 yards. Defensively, senior safety Jacob Wyatt (Lansing, Mich.-Sexton) led Eastern with a game-high 13 tackles, while senior linebacker Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Okla.-Enid) added12 tackles. The Spartans opened up the game on a 14-play, 69-yard drive, however the drive turned disastrous as Javon Ringer fumbled in the end zone, and it was recovered by EMU’s Jermaine Jenkins (Saginaw, Mich.-Saginaw) for the touchback. EMU was unable to capitalize though, as MSU was able to force a quick three-and-out situation. Neither side was able to get their offense in gear until the 1:46 mark of the first quarter, when Ringer bounced off a few would-be tacklers for the four-yard touchdown scamper. Brett Swenson added the PAT to make it 7-0. The MSU points were the first the Eagles had surrendered this season, after shutting out Indiana State University, 52-0, in the season opener last week (Aug. 28) in Ypsilanti. Eastern quickly responded with a touchdown of its own on the strength on backto-back big play performances. Blevins rolled off a 40-yard run to the MSU 40-yard line before Schmitt found a streaking Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) for a 38-yard pick-up down to the two yard line. Three plays later, Schmitt capped the six play drive with a three-yard touchdown run with 14:52 to go in the second quarter. Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.-Palomar J.C.) tacked on a successful PAT to knot it at 7-7. Michigan State was able to crack the scoreboard with 5:37 left in the half, as Ringer rushed up the middle for a six-yard touchdown run to complete the five play, 28 yard scoring drive. The Spartan PAT was good to make it 14-7. MSU would tack on Ringer’s third rushing touchdown of the half with 1:05 left in the period to put the host Spartans up 21-7 as the teams headed into the lockerroom for the intermission. Following the break, the momentum started to swing back in the favor of Eastern Michigan, as the Eagles started their second possession on the half on their own three-yard line. Schmitt was able to orchestrate a 13-play, 93 yard drive down to the MSU four-yard line. Carithers lined up for the field goal try, but instead it was a fake by holder Ryan Downard (Lima, Ohio-Shawnee), however, he was stopped at the one-yard line for a turnover-on-downs. Earlier in the drive, Blevins rushed for a four-yard touchdown score but the play was for naught as the Green and White was flagged for holding. The Spartans would quickly capitalize on the missed EMU scoring opportunity. In workman fashion, MSU would go 99 yards on a scoring drive that wrapped up when Ringer found pay dirt for the fourth time with 2:08 left in the third quarter. The MSU extra point was true to make it 28-7. EMU would get no closer, however, as MSU took the 32-point victory, 42-10.

Game 3 - Toledo Game 3 Toledo at Eastern Michigan Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008 Rynearson Stadium Ypsilanti, Mich. Noon - Attendance: 16,860 (paid)

TURNOVERS DOOM EAGLES IN MAC OPENER Eagles lose three fumbles and have two interceptions in 41-17 setback YPSILANTI, Mich. — The Eastern Michigan University football team fell, 41-17, to the visiting University of Toledo in a Mid-American Conference West Division football game played in a steady downpour here Saturday, Sept. 13, in Rynearson Stadium. Toledo, now 1-1 overall and 1-0 in MAC action, broke open a close 14-7 firsthalf lead by scoring 27 unanswered point in the third quarter and went on to record the 41-17 victory. With the loss the Eagles fell to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in league play. Sophomore quarterback Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame Prep) came in to relieve redshirt-junior signal-caller Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) to lead the Eagles offensively, going 11-of -18 for 128 yards via the air, while rushing for 59 yards. Sophomore running back Dwayne Priest (Roanoke, Va.-Fleming-Fork Union) led the Eagles’ rushing effort, going 80 yards on 13 attempts, while senior tailback Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby) ran for both of EMU’s touchdowns. Defensively, safety Ryan Downard (Lima, Ohio-Shawnee) had four tackles and an interception. For the Rockets, Aaron Opelt went 8-of -18 for 114 yards, while DeJuane Collins rushed for 168 yards on 19 attempts. The Rockets opened the scoring on their first possession, taking advantage of a three-play, 72-yard drive less than four minutes into the game, taking an early 7-0 lead. Neither team could find its rhythm in the pouring rain, as they combined for three turnovers in three successive plays. After forcing a fumble, Schmitt threw an interception, giving the Rockets the ball right back. His counterpart, Opelt, returned the favor, as Downard picked off his first pass of the year, just seconds after the Rockets took over. The two teams continued to exchange punts, as neither side could get their offense in gear until 5:47 when the Eagles got their first down of the game, following three consecutive rushes by Blevins. The Rockets capitalized on a bad snap by the Eagles, carrying the ball 54-yards to the EMU one-yard line. Collins rushed in for the score, putting Toledo up 14-0 after a Steigerwald PAT. Eastern cut the lead to seven after a nine-play, 47-yard drive that ended on a one-yard Blevins run into the end zone and a Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.Dacula-Palomar (Calif.) J.C.) PAT with 6:00 remaining in the second half. UT went to the locker room with a 14-7 lead. Toledo found its offensive groove in the third quarter, putting together three scoring drives within the first seven minutes to turn a seven-point game into a 34-7 lead. After finally forcing a Rocket punt, the Eagles fumbled the ball, giving UT the ball at the EMU 17. The Rockets found the end zone in two plays, extending the lead to 41-7. After being shut out in the third quarter, the Eagles were able to put three points on the board when Carithers nailed a 30-yard field goal with 12:18 remaining in the game. With 3:44 remaining in the contest, Blevins rushed two yards for his second score of the game, cutting the deficit, 41-17. Eastern Michigan would get no closer though, as the Rockets captured the victory, 41-17.

Game 4 - Maryland Game 4 Eastern Michigan at Maryland Saturday, Sept. 20, 2008 Chevy Chase Field at Byrd Stadium - College Park, Maryland 1 p.m. - Attendance: 48,023

EAGLES DROP OFFENSIVE SHOOTOUT AT MARYLAND Both teams roll up more than 450 yards

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — A pair of interceptions and a blocked punt proved costly for the Eastern Michigan University football team, as the Eagles dropped a 51-24 decision to the University of Maryland Saturday afternoon in non-conference action at Chevy Chase Bank Field at Byrd Stadium. The Eagles racked up 453 yards of total offense, but it all came for naught as Maryland was able to capitalize on the EMU miscues. With the win Maryland upped its record to 3-1 on the year, while Eastern Michigan dropped to 1-3. Making his first start of the season due to an injury to junior Andy Schmitt (St. John’s, Mich.-St. John’s), sophomore quarterback Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame Prep) threw for a season-best 278 yards and two touchdowns. On the ground, McMahon also scampered for 29 yards on 10 attempts. Junior wide-out Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) hauled in nine catches for 76 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore tight end Josh LeDuc (Canton, Mich.-Canton) caught four balls for 59 yards and a score. On the ground, senior Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby) racked up 61 yards and a touchdown on 10 attempts. The Eagles found themselves in an early hole as the Terrapins blocked sophomore Patrick Treppa’s (Livonia, Mich.-Stevenson) punt and returned it to the EMU 10-yard line. However, the Eastern defense stood up to the challenge of the sudden change of field position, holding Maryland to just a field goal with 11:04 left in the first quarter. On the ensuing EMU possession, McMahon was able to march the offense 75 yards in six plays down the field to the UM five-yard line. But on 1st-and-goal, McMahon’s toss was intercepted in the end zone, halting the Eagles’ scoring opportunity. Maryland would capitalize on that miscue, going 80-yards in just 10 plays for the score that was capped off by a one-yard touchdown plunge by Morgan Green. A Obi Egekeze PAT followed to make it 10-0 with 2:45 to play in the first quarter. After another McMahon interception, UM’s Green would sprint 20 yards for the touchdown to complete the five-play, 47-yard Maryland scoring drive. Another Egekeze PAT was true to push the deficit to 17, 17-0, with 11:41 remaining in the second quarter. Despite playing from behind, EMU continued to move the football. After starting on its own 20-yard line, McMahon marched the Green and White 73 yards to the UM sevenyard line Blevins was able to get EMU on the scoreboard, with his fifth touchdown of the year, a seven-yard touchdown rush with 5:08 left in the half. A sophomore Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.-Dacula (Palomar J.C.)) PAT sailed through the uprights to make it 17-7. But Maryland promptly answered with a 63 yard kickoff return to give the Terps great field position. On the very next play, quarterback Chris Turner found a streaking Darrius Heyward-Bay for the 32-yard touchdown strike with 4:49 showing on the clock. A 13-yard touchdown reception by LeDuc from McMahon just before half pulled EMU even closer. The 80 yard, 11-play drive was capped with another Carithers PAT try, made it 24-10 with :44 seconds left before the intermission. Following the break the potent Terrapin offense tacked on another touchdown just 1:33 into the third quarter, as Turner hooked up with tight end Dan Gronkowski for the four-yard touchdown reception to make it 31-10. But the Eagles would again respond with a score of their own, as Carithers would knock through a 23-yard field goal to make it 31-17 with 7:15 showing on the third quarter clock. Maryland returned the favor with a 21-yard Egekeze field goal on the ensuing possession to run the score to 34-17 with 4:19 still left in the third period. The defenses for both sides would then stiffen up, as neither was able to score until Maryland’s Egekeze banged through a 33-yard field goal attempt with 11:46 to play in the fourth quarter. On the following possession EMU continued to rack up the yardage, as McMahon drove the Eagles back into the red zone. The sophomore signal caller then found Stone in the corner on the end zone for the two-yard touchdown strike with 8:03 left. The PAT was good to make it 37-24. Maryland would add two late touchdowns to make it 51-24.

Game 6 - Bowling Green Game 6 EMU at Bowling Green Saturday, Oct. 4, 2008 Doyt Perry Stadium Bowling Green, Ohio 4 p.m. - Attendance: 16,217 BCSN-TV • Homecoming

EMU SPOILS BGSU’s HOMECOMING WITH 24-21 VICTORY EMU scores with 36 seconds left to record the win BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — The Eastern Michigan University football team came up with some last-second heroics to record a 24-21 win over Bowling Green State University here Saturday afternoon, Oct. 4, in Mid-American Conference cross-divisional action before a Homecoming crowd of 16,217 in Doyt Perry Stadium. Trailing by a 21-17 margin, the Eagles moved 77 yards in six plays and scored the winning points on a 16-yard scoring pass from junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) to senior wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.Belleville) with just 36 seconds left in the game. Sophomore place-kicker Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.-Dacula-Palomar (Calif.) J.C.) added the PAT kick for the 24-21 EMU advantage. The winning touchdown was set up by a big EMU defensive stand as the Eagles forced a Bowling Green punt, getting the offense the ball back with 1:21 left on the clock. The home team still had a chance to tie the game after that late EMU score, but a 52-yard field goal attempt by Sinisa Vrvilo was short and to the left as time expired. The win was extra special for EMU head coach Jeff Genyk, a 1982 Bowling Green State University graduate and a former quarterback for the Falcons. With the win the Eagles improve to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in MAC action while Bowling Green falls to 2-3 overall and 0-1 in league play. The victory also snapped the Eagles’ nine-game losing skid to the Falcons, and marked the first EMU victory in Bowling Green, Ohio since Nov. 12, 1988. Schmitt directed the EMU offense to 410 total yards on 68 plays. He completed 21-of-29 passes for 251 yards and one touchdown while Jones led all rushers with 13 carries for 60 yards while taking the direct snap from center during the game. Jones spent the rest of the game as a wide receiver. Sophomore tailback Dwayne Priest (Roanoke, Va.-William Fleming-Fork Union Military) added 45 yards on 11 rushes. The EMU defense was outstanding all day and was paced by senior Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Okla.-Enid) with 10 tackles while Spenser Smith (Detroit, Mich.-Mackenzie) record five tackles and three tackles-for-loss of 14 yards. The Falcons opened the scoring on a six-yard pass from quarterback Tyler Sheehan to tight end Jimmy Scheidler with 1:18 left in the first quarter. Vrvilo added the PAT for a 7-0 lead. The Eagles fought back to knot the game at seven-all, capping a six-play, 65-yard drive on a one-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby) followed by the PAT kick by Carithers with 2:34 left in the second quarter. Eastern took its first lead of the game, 10-7, on a 28-yard field goal by Carithers on the first drive of the second half at the 9:40 mark. The Eagles drove the ball 60 yards in 10 plays with Carithers providing the go-ahead points. BGSU came right back on its first possession of the second half to regain the lead, 14-10, on a 46-yard scoring toss from Sheehan to wide receiver Adrian Hodges. Vrvilo added the PAT kick. The Eastern offense continued to use the clock to its advantage, answering with a 13-play, 78-yard touchdown drive that took 7:27 with Priest capping the drive with a 12-yard scoring run. Carithers added the PAT to once again give the Eagles the lead, 17-14, with 9.2 seconds left in the third quarter. Bowling Green would add a Sheehan eight-yard run with 5:11 left before Eastern would pull off the late-game magic on the Schmitt to Jones pass to win the game.

Game 7 - Army Game 7 EMU at Army Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008 Michie Stadium West Point, N.Y. 1 p.m. - Attendance: 27,096 Homecoming LATE RALLY LEADS ARMY PAST EMU Eagles can’t hold first-half advantage in 17-13 loss

WEST POINT, N.Y. — The Eastern Michigan University football team dropped a 17-13 decision to the United States Military Academy Saturday afternoon, Oct. 11, in non-conference action here at Blaik Field in Michie Stadium. The Black Knights used their triple-option attack to rack up 341 yards on the ground to overcome a 13-7 halftime deficit. The Eagles had a pair of late fourth quarter drives in an attempt to rally for the win, but the Army defense stood up to the challenge to claim the victory. With the win Army ups its record to 2-4 on the year, while Eastern Michigan drops to 2-5. Junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) was 12-of-30 passing for a total of 138 yards. Junior wideout Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) added four catches for 17 yards to give him 101 career catches and 996 career receiving yards. Sophomore tight end Josh LeDuc (Canton, Mich.-Plymouth) also caught two passes for 40. On the ground, sophomore Dwayne Priest (Roanoke, Va./William Fleming-Fork Union Academy) totalled 118 yards on 17 carries on the afternoon. Senior Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby) also tallied 17 yards and a touchdown on six attempts. For Army, fullback Collin Mooney carried the ball 29 times for 299 yards while running back Wesley McMahand added three carries for 46 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Chip Bowden ran the ball 12 times for 32 yards and a score while going 0-for-3 via the air. Army had zero passing yards in the entire game. Army jumped on the board first, as the Black Knights opened the game marching 61 yards in just two plays. The drive was capped with a 13-yard touchdown scamper by McMahand with 13:07 showing on the first quarter clock. Matthew Campbell’s PAT was good to make it 7-0. The triple-option attack of Army continued to rack up the yards on the ground, as Mooney sprinted 67 yards to set up a great scoring opportunity midway through the opening period. However, it would all be for naught as senior linebacker Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Okla.-Enid ), who had a game-high 12 tackles, stopped Bowden on fourth-and-inches to force a turnover on downs at the EMU 12-yard line with 4:08 left in the first quarter. After a few stalled drives to start the contest, Eastern Michigan was able to get the offense in gear on its third possession. Schmitt would direct an 11-play, 63-yard drive from deep in its own territory, but the drive would stall at the Army 25-yard line. Sophomore placekicker Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.Dacula (Palomar J.C.) would knock through a career-long 43 yard field goal to cut the deficit to four, 7-3, with 13:26 left in the second period. Following a quick three-and-out for the Black Knights, Priest would roll off a 20-yard dart into Army territory. Six plays later, Blevins would bounce off a few defenders before finding paydirt with 7:49 left before half. Carithers would tack on the point-after kick to make it 10-7. Army would turn the ball over with 5:37 showing on the clock near midfield, when quarterback Bowden’s option toss was off target and recovered by senior Dwayne Harrison (North Miami Beach, Fla.-North Miami Beach). EMU was unable to advance the ball into the red zone, as Carithers would have to chip through a 38-yard field goal to make it 13-7 with 3:04 left. Following intermission, the Black Knights would once again crack into the scoring column. Mooney would break loose, scooting for a 54-yard gain down to the EMU four-yard line. But the EMU defense would stand up, stopping Mooney just short of the goal line to force a fieldgoal try. The 18-yard attempt for Campbell was true to make it 13-10 with 10:25 to play in the third period. Eastern Michigan would answer with a long drive of its own, marching 68 yards in nine plays before the drive would falter at the Army five-yard line. The Eagles had back-to-back opportunities to scores, but two of Schmitt’s passes were knocked away from their intended targets in the end zone. Carithers would come on for the chip shot 22-yard field goal attempt with 5:33 remaining but the try was blocked by Victor Ugenyi. Army’s rushing attack continued to move the chains on its next possession, calling for the run on 13-of-14 plays, capping the 80-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown run by Bowden. Campbell added the PAT to give Army its final four-point margin, 17-13. Army would ratchet up the defensive intensity on EMU’s next possession to force the quick three-and-out. But the Black Knights would have trouble holding on to the football, turning the ball over with less than nine minutes of clock still showing. However, head coach Jeff Genyk’s crew count not cash in on the break, as Schmitt was sacked on third-and-six at midfield. Junior Zach Johnson (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) punted the ball away with 6:58 as the Knights took over at their own 17-yard line. Once again the defense would stand strong, forcing Army to give the ball back to the Eagles via a punt with 3:34 left. Needing to go 83 yards to score, Schmitt found Blevins for a 14-yard pass reception up to the EMU 30-yard line. Two plays later Schmitt nearly found a streaking Stone down at the Army 30-yard line but the pass was just inches too long. Then on third-and-five, the toss to LeDuc was broken up to force the Eagles’ hand with 2:10 to go. Schmitt’s pass was knocked down at the line of scrimmage to return the ball to Army with 2:04 showing. Army continued to attack via the rush but came up just short on a critical fourth down at the EMU 26-yard line turning the ball back over to the Green and White with 1:40 on the clock.

EAGLES LOSE HEARTBREAKER ON BIZARRE PLAY EMU blocks last-minute field goal only to lose game

YPSILANTI, Mich. — One of the most bizarre plays in Eastern Michigan University football history cost the Eagles a chance at victory here Saturday afternoon, Oct. 18, in Rynearson Stadium in a Mid-American Conference game against a visiting University of Akron squad. The Eagles came from behind to take a 35-34 lead with 03:49 left when junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) found sophomore tight end Josh LeDuc (Canton, Mich.-Plymouth) for a six-yard touchdown pass. Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.-Dacula-Palomar (Calif,) J.C.) added the tie-breaking PAT kick to give Eastern a shot at the win. Akron then drove to the EMU nine-yard line and faced fourth and two yards to go with just 00:30 left on the clock. The Zips elected to kick a field goal, but a 26-yard field goal by Igor Iveljic was blocked by LeDuc. The blocked kick bounced back to Akron holder Andy Hildreth and he ran for a four-yard gain, recording the first down, giving Akron possession at the five-yard line. The Zips did not waste that sudden turnaround and scored the game-winning touchdown with just 14 ticks left. Dennis Kennedy rushed for the four-yard touchdown and also scored on a two-point conversion run to make the final, 42-35. EMU received the ensuing kickoff and ran off one play before losing the ball on a fumble as the final gun sounded. With the win, the Zips even their overall record at 4-4 and 2-2 in MAC action. The Eagles fall to 2-6 and 1-3, respectively. Schmitt led the Eagles with 22 completions in 34 pass attempts for 258 yard including three touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) caught a career-high 109 receiving yards on seven catches. The three touchdown passes were evenly spread out as Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville), Marvon Sanders (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Ypsilanti) and LeDuc each had a receiving score. Senior running back Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby) led the ground attack, going 91 yards on 21 rushes while scoring twice. For Akron, Kennedy carried the ball 25 times for a career-high 277 yards. Signal caller Chris Jacquemain went 11-of-19, passing for 208 yards. Akron jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the game before the Eagles cut it to three, 10-7, on a three-yard run by Blevins followed by the PAT kick from Carithers. EMU then tried an on-side kick that was recovered Akron and the Zips scored on the next play for a 17-7 advantage. A five-yard pass from Schmitt to Jones and a PAT by Carithers added seven for the Eagles to make it 17-14 with 4:17 showing on the second-quarter clock. Akron closed out the half with a touchdown and PAT to make it 24-14. Following intermission, head coach Jeff Genyk’s crew cracked the scoring column with Blevins scoring from one-yard out to cut it to 24-21 at the 09:06 mark of the third quarter. The visitors then went up by 13, 34-21, with a touchdown and field goal before the Eagles stormed back for 10 straight points, on two Schmitt touchdown passes, the first a 19-yard pass to Sanders and the second a six-yard toss to LeDuc. Carithers added both PAT kicks. The LeDuc score put the Eagles up by one, 35-34, setting up the late-game scramble.

Game 9 - Ball State Game 9 EMU at Ball State Saturday, Oct. 25, 2008 Scheumann Stadium Muncie, Ind. Noon - Attendance: 20,948

EAGLES FALL TO NATIONALLY RANKED CARDINALS 20th/22nd Ranked BSU records a 38-16 MAC West Divison win

MUNCIE, Ind. — The Eastern Michigan University football team fell to nationally ranked Ball State University, 38-16, here at Scheumann Stadium Saturday afternoon, Oct. 25, in a Mid-American Conference West Division game. The Cardinals, ranked 20th in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll and 22nd in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll, racked up 245 yards in the air against the Eagles’ defense which entered the game ranked best in the MAC versus the pass. EMU entered the game giving up just 151.9 yards per contest, but saw the Cardinals jump out to an early 10-0 lead before expanding that margin to 24 points, 24-0, midway through the third quarter. EMU was able to tack on a pair of touchdowns and a 37-yard field goal in the third and fourth quarters, but the deficit was just too much to overcome. With the loss the Eagles fall to 2-7 overall and 1-4 in MAC action while the Cardinals remain perfect at 8-0 (4-0 MAC). Today’s contest was the Eagles’ first versus a ranked team since a 55-0 setback to No. 14th ranked University of Michigan, Sept. 17, 2005. Junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) led the Eagles offensively, going 28-for-49 for a career-high 309 yards via the air, including two touchdown passes. Entering the contest, Schmitt’s previous best passing yardage total was 258 just last week, Oct. 18, versus the University of Akron. Senior wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) picked up his second career 100-yard receiving game, catching 11 balls for 120 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore tight end Josh LeDuc (Canton, Mich.-Canton) added four catches for 92 yards and a score. Junior quarterback Nate Davis turned in a complete game of Ball State, passing for 241 yard on 31 attempts and a pair touchdowns. He also rushed for 34 yards while adding a four yard touchdown reception. Ball State opened the scoring with a 27-yard Ian McGarvey field goal at the 2:31 mark of the first quarter. The Cardinals’ offense would add a second-quarter touchdown for a 10-0 lead. Ball State had one more shot to tack some points on the board just before the intermission as Davis drove the Cardinals inside the EMU 25-yard line. But on second down, Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Okla.-Enid) tipped a Davis pass allowing sophomore safety Kevin Long (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.-Walled Lake Central) to collect his first career interception with 22 seconds left in the quarter. Schmitt took a knee as the team headed into the locker room with Ball State clinging to a 10-0 lead. In the third quarter the Cardinals increased its edge to 17-0 and made it 24-0 in the third quarter. EMU was then able to string together its best drive of the contest late in the third quarter, as Schmitt found Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) for a sevenyard touchdown strike as time expired in the period. Sophomore kicker Joe Carithers’ (Dacula, Ga.-Dacula (Palomar J.C.) PAT was true to cut the deficit to 17, 24-7. Ball State then responded with another touchdown on a 52-yard scamper by MiQuale Lewis with the PAT making it 31-7 with 14:29 left in the game. Schmitt marched the Eagles back down the field in 14 plays covering 71 yards capped with a five yard touchdown toss to Jones for a touchdown. The two-point conversion pass was incomplete, making the score 31-13 with 9:08 remaining. BSU tacked on another seven-points before Carithers closed out the day’s scoring with a 37-yard field goal to trim the deficit to 22 points, 38-16, with 3:10 left.

Game 10 - Western Michigan Game 10 EMU at Western Michigan Saturday, Nov. 1, 2008 Bronco Stadium Kalamazoo, Mich. 2 p.m. - Attendance: 19,917

EAGLES DROP 31-10 DECISION AT WESTERN MICHIGAN Eagles fail to convert red-zone chances in loss KALAMAZOO, Mich. — The Eastern Michigan University football team could not take advantage of trips to the red zone and dropped a 31-10 decision to Western Michigan University here Saturday, Nov. 1, in a Mid-American Conference West Division game played in Waldo Stadium. The Eagles made it to the red zone four times, but scored just 10 points on those chances to fall to 2-8 overall and 1-5 in MAC action while Western improves to 7-2 overall and 5-1 in league action. On offense, junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s Mich.-St. John’s) went 21-of-35 for 272 yards in the air. Sophomore Dwayne Priest (Roanoke, Va.-William Fleming-Fork Union) and senior tailback Terrence Blevins (Detroit, MIch.-Denby) led the Eagles in rushing with 52 yards each while Blevins scored the Eagles’ lone touchdown on a 19-yard run. Defensively, the Eagles were led by senior linebacker Jermaine Jenkins (Saginaw, Mich.-Saginaw) with 11 stops on the afternoon, while safety Jacob Wyatt (Lansing, Mich.-Sexton) added nine tackles. Western opened the scoring on its first offensive possession of the game when Hiller found a streaking Juan Nunez for a 45-yard touchdown pass at the 10:35 mark of the first quarter. John Potter added the PAT kick for the 7-0 lead. The Broncos made it 10-0 with 1:10 left in the first quarter when place-kicker John Potter booted a 32-yard field goal. Eastern cut the Wester deficit to three, 10-7, when Blevins burst through the left side of the line for a 19-yard scoring run. Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.-DaculaPalmomar J.C.) added the PAT kick for the Eagles. Western answered with 10:00 on the clock on a seven-yard touchdown pass from Hiller to Schneider Julien as Potter added the PAT for a 17-7 WMU advantage. With Western threatening to score from the one-yard line late in the first half the EMU defense came up with the first of two huge efforts. Senior middle linebacker Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Okla.-Enid) forced a fumble that was recovered by senior defensive tackle Josh Hunt (Jackson, Mich.-Lumen Christi) with just 00:55 left on the clock. A 15-yard WMU penalty gave Eastern the ball at the16yard line. EMU moved it down near midfield before getting stopped on downs. Western looked like it might get in position to score at that point, but safety Chris May (Jupiter, Fla.-Dwyer) forced a fumble and recovered it at the EMU 20-yard line. The Eagles took a knee on the next play to end the half with the Broncos on top, 17-7. Carithers opened the second half scoring on a 28-yard field goal at the 1:21 mark after Spenser Smith (Detroit, Mich.-Mackenzie) forced a Bronco fumble which was recovered by Arrington Hicks (Orlando, Fla.-Edgewater). The score pulled the Eagles within seven, 17-10. Western would bounce right back, however, going up 24-10, on a one-yard run by Brandon West with 13:16 left in the game. The Broncos would add one more score in the game, on a 34-yard pass from Hiller to Branden Ledbetter. Eastern, meanwhile, moved it down to the Bronco two-yard line twice late in the game, but failed to convert on its chances.

EAGLES FALL IN SHOOTOUT AT TEMPLE

Loss spoils junior quarterback Andy Schmitt’s record-wrecking effort PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The Eastern Michigan University football team turned in a record-breaking passing attack, but it wasn’t enough for the Eagles as they fell to Temple University, 55-52 here Saturday, Nov. 22, in a Mid-American Conference game played in Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles football squad. Trailing by a 55-45 count, the Eagles marched downfield to score on a twoyard touchdown run by junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s Mich.St. John’s) to cut the margin to three points with just 37 seconds left in the game. An EMU onside kick failed on the ensuing kickoff, allowing the host team to escape with the victory. The loss drops EMU to 2-9 overall and 1-6 in MAC action. Temple improves to 4-7 overall and 3-4 in league play. The loss spoiled a record-setting day for the EMU offense as Schmitt set an NCAA FBS record for passes attempted without an interception with 76 completed during the game. He also established school records for pass completions (50), pass attempts (76), and passing yards (448) to go along with three touchdown passes and two rushing scores. Junior wide receiver Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) caught a personal-best 18 passes for 152 yards and one touchdown while senior wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) also turned in a recordsmashing effort, hauling in 17 passes for 185 yards, both personal bests, to go along with two touchdowns. Quarterback Adam DiMichele led the Owls, completing 21-of-37 passes for 370 yards and six touchdowns. His favorite target, Bruce Francis, caught nine passes for 125 yards and four touchdowns. Eastern struck first in the game, scoring on its initial offensive possession of the game when the Eagles marched 57 yards on six plays with Schmitt hitting Jones for a 15-yard touchdown pass at the 13:11 mark of the first quarter. Place-kicker Joe Carithers (Dacula, Ga.-Dacula-Palmomar J.C.) added the PAT kick to make it 7-0. The Owls roared back to take a 24-21 lead into halftime intermission when DiMichele connected with Joe Jones for an eight-yard touchdown pass with Brownell adding the PAT with just 47 seconds left on the clock. Schmitt completed 27-of-41 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, connecting with Tyler Jones nine times for 90 yards and two scores. Schmitt’s counterpart, DiMichele, went 13-of-23 for 221 and three touchdeowns in the first 30 minutes. Both teams combined for 35 points over the final 12 minutes to set up the dramatic finish.

EAGLES TURN IN RECORD-BREAKING EFFORT IN SEASON FINALE WIN OVER CMU QB Andy Schmitt and WR Tyler Jones set or tie NCAA marks in “Senior Day” victory YPSILANTI, Mich. — The Eastern Michigan University football team turned on the offense here Friday, Nov. 28, to record a thrilling 56-52 record-breaking effort in a Mid-American Conference victory over visiting Central Michigan University here Friday, Nov. 28, afternoon on Senior Day in Rynearson Stadium. The win allowed Eastern to keep possession of the Michigan Mid-American Conference Trophy sponsored by the state of Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame. The trophy is awarded annually to the Michigan MAC team with the best record in games played between Eastern, Western and Central Michigan. Eastern, which won the trophy last year, defeated CMU this year while CMU defeated WMU. The team that currently holds the trophy retains it in case of a tie. The win closed out Eastern Michigan’s season at 3-9 overall and 2-6 in MAC play. The loss drops CMU to 8-4 overall and 6-2 in MAC action. The victory also closed out head coach Jeff Genyk’s five-year EMU career on a positive note. EMU redshirt junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) set one NCAA record and established five EMU marks on the way to completing 58-of-80 passes for 516 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Eagles to victory. Schmitt’s 58 completions broke the NCAA mark of 56 set by Jarrod DeGeorgia of Wayne State (Neb.) vs. Drake, Nov. 9, 1996. All five of his EMU records broke his own marks, including 58 completions, 80 attempts, 516 passing yards, 89 total offensive plays and 554 yards in total offense. Senior wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) caught an EMU single-game record 23 passes for 170 yards. That 23 reception mark tied UNLV’s Randy Gatewood for the FBS NCAA record. Gatewood caught his 23 passes against Idaho, Sept. 17, 1994. EMU place-kicker Joe Carithers (Dcaula, Ga.-Dacula-Palomar J.C.) tied an EMU single-game record with eight PAT kicks. For the game the Eagles rolled up a school record for offensive plays with 105 for a second-best 610 total offensive yards. Junior quarterback Dan LeFevour paced the Chippewas with 22 completions on 38 attempts for 378 yards and four scores. CMU wide receiver Antonio Brown caught seven balls for 172 yards and one touchdown. For the second game in a row the Eagles opened the scoring with a touchdown on its first offensive possession. This time around the Eagles marched 70 yards on 14 plays capped off by an eight yard run by Schmitt at the 10:18 mark of the first quarter. From that point on the first half concluded with plenty of offensive fireworks on the field and some off-field activity as well. The two teams combined for 744 yards in total offense and 77 total points with the Eagles holding the 42-35 lead going into the locker room. In the first half, Schmitt completed a whopping 38 passes in 52 attempts for 354 yards and a second-best EMU single game mark of five touchdown passes. Jones turned in 14 receptions for 118 yards in the first half. CMU QB LeFevour completed 13-of-19 passes for 276 yards and four touchdown throws. Eastern’s team was hit with two 15-yard penalty flags after confronting the Chippewas at midfield after the first half gun sounded and the Eagles had to boot the second-half kickoff from its own eight-yard line and Central’s first drive started on the EMU 47-yard line. Central could not take full advantage of that field possession, however, settling for a Aguila 30-yard field goal at the 12:51 mark of the third quarter, cutting EMU’s advantage to four, 42-38. The Chips grabbed their first lead of the game three minutes later when Justin Hoskins sprinted 17 yards through the EMU defense for a 45-42 CMU lead with 9:30 left in the third quarter. Eastern came right back, however, to take a 48-45 lead with 6:48 remaining in the third quarter on a one-yard run by Terrence Blevins (Detroit, Mich.-Denby). The Eagles increased their lead to 11, 56-45, with just 50 seconds left in the third quarter when Blevins added another one-yard run. The Chippewas would tack on another score with 13:56 left in the game when Ontario Sneed rushed 38 yards for a score, making it 56-52. The Eastern defense came up with a big stop late in the game when senior defensive end Spenser Smith (Detroit, Mich.-Mackenzie) stopped LeFevour two yards short on a fourth-and-three from the EMU 16-yard line with 5:05 left in the game. CMU turned in one last effort to win the game when they regained possession on their own 29-yard line with 1:45 left in the contest. The Eagles’ defense forced four straight LeFevour incompletions to get the ball back with 1:25 left.

A Record Setting Day In a 56-52 win over Central Michigan University, Nov. 28, 2008, the Eagles went on a record-breaking spree, including establishing two NCAA marks. EMU redshirt junior quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) set one NCAA record and established five EMU marks on the way to completing 58-of-80 passes for 516 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Eagles to victory. Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 58 completions broke the NCAA mark of 56 set by Jarrod DeGeorgia of Wayne State (Neb.) vs. Duke, Nov. 9, 1996. All five of his EMU records broke his own marks, including 58 completions, 80 attempts, 516 passing yards, 89 total offensive plays and 554 yards in total offense. Senior wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) caught an EMU single-game record 23 passes for 170 yards. That 23-reception mark tied UNLVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Randy Gatewood for the NCAA record. Gatewood caught his 23 passes against Idaho, Sept. 17, 1994. For his efforts, Schmitt was selected as the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week, as well as the MAC West Player of the Week and MAC Scholar-Athlete of the Week.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

2009 Eastern Michigan University FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

111

Mid-American Conference Since its inception in 1946, the MidAmerican Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 63-year history of the league this past March. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving for six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (Toledo’s SeaGate Centre), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and most recently baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). The MAC tied a league record in 2008 with five schools participating in bowl games – Buffalo (International); Ball State (GMAC); Central Michigan (Motor City); Western Michigan (Texas); and Northern Illinois (Independence Bowl). The 2008 season also saw the first MAC football team ranked in the Top 25 since 2003. Ball State was ranked as high as 12th in the BCS Standings, 12th in the AP and 13th in the USA Today Poll. The Cardinals were ranked in all three polls for 10 straight weeks. MAC football teams won a league record four games versus opponents from the Big Ten. Toledo became the first MAC team to ever beat Michigan in Ann Arbor; Ball State won its first-ever game against a Big Ten foe when the Cardinals beat Indiana; Central Michigan also defeated Indiana; and Western Michigan beat Illinois in a game played at Ford Field. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC signed an eight-year rights agreement through the 2016-2017 academic year for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The 112

deal will be the most extensive in the 63-year history of the conference. The new deal calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. Women’s athletics shined for the MAC this past year. For the first time in the history of the conference the MAC sent three teams to the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament (Miami, Ohio and Western Michigan). Western Michigan became only the third team to make it to the Sweet Sixteen (Ohio 2005 and Western Michigan 1983). In women’s basketball MAC Tournament Champion Ball State upset perennial national power Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA tournament handing the Lady Vols their first ever loss in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. The victory was named “Pontiac Game Changing Performance” of the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, while first year head coach Kelly Packard was named Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year by the WBCA. Akron continued its dominance of MAC men’s soccer with its 11 regularseason championship to go along with its sixth MAC Tournament title – both league records. The Zips were ranked as high as No. 2 during the season and reached the Sweet Sixteen of

the NCAA Tournament before falling to Northwestern, 1-0. Steve Zakuani, who helped guide the University of Akron men’s soccer program to a record-setting campaign in 2008, was the first overall pick of the 2009 Major League Soccer Super Draft. Zakuani earned 2008 MAC Men’s Soccer Player of the Year honors and was a finalist for the Hermann Trophy, which goes to the best men’s soccer player in the country. The conference now has national leadership positions on the following NCAA committees: Warde Manual, Buffalo (Academic Cabinet); Susan Lipnickey, Miami (Leadership Council and Infractions Appeals); Derrick Gragg, Eastern Michigan (Legislative Council); Dr. John Peters, Northern Illinois (Board of Directors); Tom Collins, Ball State (Amateurism Cabinet); Kelly Andrews, Toledo (Awards, benefits, Expenses & Financial Aid Cabinet); Stephannnie Harvey-Vandenburg, Eastern Michigan (Recruiting & Athletic Personal Issues Cabinet); Brad Bates, Miami (Academic Performance); Eileen Jennings, Central Michigan (Infractions); Ted McKown, Kent State (International Students Records); Jim Klein, Toledo (Legislative Review & Interpretations); Karin Lee, Ball State (Minority Opportunities and Interest); Melody Reifel Werner, Eastern Michigan (Research); Catharine Marsszeky, Kent State (Student-Athlete Advisory); Lee Merserve, Bowling Green (Walter Byers Scholarship).

Eastern Michigan University Where We’re Located

Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, seven miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre main campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Recently named “A Cool City,” by Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique

In 1849, with the passage of Act No. 138, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves nearly 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Enrollment Profile

With nearly 22,000 students, EMU provides a rich learning environment for the university community. The University currently has approximately 17,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate students. Our students represent 45 states and 93 foreign countries. Of undergraduate students, 69 percent are full time and 60 percent are women. The most popular majors are education, business, social sciences and history, science and engineering, English, and the health professions. EMU’s population is approximately 70 percent white; 16 percent black; 3 percent international; 6 percent undeclared; 2.5 percent Asian-American; 2 percent Hispanic and 0.5 percent Native-American. Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed.

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3 billion annually reflects a return of more than $30 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $115 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.25 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real-world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

Our History

1897: MSNS is the first U.S. teacher’s college to become a four-year institution.

When the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name has changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs that include Continuing Education, the Centers for Corporate Training, the World College and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003) and the Student Center (2006).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

Sports Medicine

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. More than 500 student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Wally Roeser and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: to provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management

134

programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each studentathlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff oper- Head Athletic Trainer Steve Nordwall, ates out of three campus athletic MS, ATC training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Strength and Conditioning An eagle by definition is a large bird of prey noted for its strength, size, keenness of vision and powers of flight. These are skills that can only develop in the right setting and environment. At Eastern Michigan University, it is the job of head strength and conditioning coach Mike Szerszen to guide student-athletes down the path that will help them develop those and other skills that will allow them to excel in competition. The main focus of the EMU strength and conditioning program is to develop the complete student-athlete. This is achieved through a program that is not based solely on weight training, but rather on the development of all aspects of athletic performance. Everything that is incorporated into the training program is geared towards enhancing success on the playing field. Areas of focus include speed, agility, strength, quickness, flexibility, explosive power, sports nutrition and mental toughness. One major area of focus is the development of running speed and quickness. Great focus is placed on strength development, flexibility and proper running mechanics. The goal is to produce strong physical athletes who improve their foot speed and quickness. While every athletic program lifts during the year, EMU student-athletes will also participate in year-round conditioning. The strength and conditioning staff push the student-athletes to excel throughout a continually physical and mentally demanding program. “We believe highly competitive athletes should never get out-of-shape,” Szerszen said. “Our workouts are intense and designed to challenge our student-athletes to surpass levels they have not yet achieved. Because of this aggressive training we help develop not only a physically tougher athlete, but also a mentally tougher one who excels in competition. Our goal is simple ... to be the best conditioned and physically toughest team in the country.” Physically developing student-athletes is a year-round endeavor. During the season, football players at EMU will spend as much time with the strength and conditioning coaches as they do on the field with their position coaches. “A highly motivated athlete is a program’s greatest asset,” Szerszen said. “We strive for excellence both mentally and physically. We have individual goal meetings prior to each segment of our training. Short and long-term goals are set and we work diligently to achieve them. “Our athletes at EMU are second to none in terms of their hard work and effort,” Szerszen added. “We work hard, but have fun in the process. The camaraderie and work ethic they develop in the weight room carries over directly to their success in competition.” Strength and conditioning at EMU is a full-time commitment. There is no such thing as being a part-time champion. At EMU, the eventual goal of all athletes is to be successful on the MidAmerican Conference and national level. Through our hard work and commitment to excellence, we believe we can achieve that goal.”

Conditioning

Strength Training

This is the foundation of all of our training. Improvements in all areas begin here. We use systematic periodic planning when developing our strength program. We use many compound movements and isolate muscle groups with machines and specific dumbbell exercises. We focus on working many different joint angles. We use as many different training variables and a mix of training philosophies to attain our goals. By training in this manner we can avoid being one-dimensional which will help us eliminate plateaus and staleness in training. Core lifts include: bench press, squat and hang clean. Many injury prevention exercises are implemented as well.

Speed and Agility

We believe speed and agility drills should be utilized every time we work out. We incorporate some form of speed or agility drills into every workout. The reason for this philosophy is to provide constant reinforcement so that we can achieve maximum speed and quickness. Speed and agility is separated into long and short distances. Several examples of speed drills include resistant runs with harnesses and chutes, stance and start drills, running mechanics, form running and competitive sprints. Some of our agility drills include: cone drills, speed ladders, dot and t-drills, 20-yard shuttles, ladder runs, reactive drills, jump rope and quick feet drills.

We believe that great student-athletes should never get out-of-shape and because of that we condition year-round. Of course, the intensity of the conditioning will be dictated by what we are doing during that period of training or at that point in the season. During the season, conditioning will be short and brief as it will be during the winter conditioning period. During the summer preseason training period, conditioning will be very intense as we prepare for the season and as we acclimate for the heat of two-a-day practices during August. Forms of conditioning include: 1.5 mile run, 110-yard sprints, step down sprints ranging in distances from 100 yards to 10 yards, position specific conditioning, gassers and half gassers, and 300-yard shuttle and ladder runs. All conditioning runs have goal times that the student-athletes must meet.

Goal Setting and Evaluation

Student-athletes will set individual goals for the end of winter conditioning, summer conditioning and the post-season. Each athlete has his own personal goal booklet to monitor gains. The goals are used as a method of monitoring the studentathlete and providing them with a target to attain in training to help improve their performance on the field. Student-athletes will be tested three times a year. These tests help our staff evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Testing will include the following at various points in the year: bench press, squat, hang clean, vertical jump, 1.5-mile run, 16 x 110 yard sprints, 15 second bag jumps, 20-yard shuttle, 10-yard sprint, 225-lb bench press reps max, body fat percentage, sit and reach flexibility, height and weight.

EMU Strength Training Philosophy “The philosophy here at EMU is to train the student-athlete in an organized and systematic manner to develop all elements of athletic performance. Training is performed in a highly intense manner which develops a high level of mental toughness and pride to be the best.” – Mike Szerszen

Student-Athlete Support While success on the field is important, success in the classroom is the number one priority. Student Athlete Support Services (SASS) is dedicated to the academic success of the Eagles. Led by Erin Burdis and her staff of counselors, SASS strives to make sure every student-athlete finds academic success at Eastern. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each studentathlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and University rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy, but with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other University student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the admissions office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, health services, the records office, financial aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

EMU director of athletics Derrick Gragg explained. “We are very proud of our student-athletes’ work in the classroom and will continue to support them as they move forward to reach the ultimate goal of graduating.” “Obviously, our staff and student-athletes work closely to make sure that a major emphasis is put on the academic success for our teams and this 2009 winter report is the proof that all of that hard work is paying off,” said Student-athletes from the men’s and women’s basketball Erin Burdis, EMU’s Director teams joined forces for the fourth annual EMU Pride Day in of Student-Athlete Support the summer of 2008.

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective studentathletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institutional rules. The commitment to compliance ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful compliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program.

WHAT IS COMPLIANCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks: • Educating administrators, coaches, staff, prospective student-athletes, current student-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules; • Developing monitoring systems to ensure compliance with NCAA, MAC and institutional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eligibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism and agents); • Investigating and reporting violations of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following: • Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or co-signing of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off-campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have: • Been a member of a booster organization that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Athletic Club, E-Gridiron Group); • Made any financial contributions to the athletics department; • Been involved in promoting EMU's athletics program; • Been a season ticket holder; or • Provided benefits to enrolled studentathletes or their relatives or friends. You can become a booster if you provide benefits to prospects, student-athletes, their relatives or friends and any of the following statements are true: • The relationship between the athlete (or parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefits developed as a result of the athlete's participation in athletics or their reputation as an athlete; • The relationship began only after the athlete become a prospect; • The relationship began only after the athlete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation; • The pattern of benefits increased after the athlete attained notoriety as a talented athlete.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the EMU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefits or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges). QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective student-athletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Dr. Melody Reifel Werner at 734.487.2327 or mreifel@emich.edu.

Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 11th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade University facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for four Mid-American Conference Championships. EMU hosted the 2000 and 2007 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for four first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games and one first-round game for the men’s basketball squad. The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted concerts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle and John Mayer.

The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies. Among other events that have taken place include numerous youth sporting competitions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Center staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 million. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-tothe-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

E-Gridiron Group

The E-Gridiron Group coordinated reunion activities in 2007 for the 20th Anniversary of the California Bowl Championship team that recorded a 30-27 upset victory over San Jose State University.

The objective of the E-Gridiron Group is to collaborate with the EMU President’s Office, athletic director, head football coach Ron English and his staff, the EMU Student Body, and our fellow Alumni worldwide. “The E-Gridiron Group has been an invaluable resource for the football program and our student-athletes,” said Director of Athletics Dr. Derrick Gragg. “Our mission is to guide support and inspire our student-athletes in their pursuit of excellence, academically, athletically and socially. The generosity and efforts of the EGG allows us to fulfill that mission and has a direct and significant impact on the quality of experience we are able to provide to our football players.” During the past two years the EGG has helped to raise more than $600,000. This is the largest amount of actual gifts received to date for a non-facility related project by a single group in EMU Athletics history. This has helped to provide the football program with numerous upgrades and is helping to level the playing field with the rest of the MAC. Since that official beginning in 2006, the EGG has expanded its goals and objectives to include not only fund-raising, but developing a broader membership program targeted at former football players, which will eventually be expanded to all family and fans of EMU football in future years. More than 250 former football players have joined in just six months of this membership drive. “One of the purposes of forming the E-Gridiron Group was to fill a void and create a rallying point for former football players and EMU supporters,” said Brett Petersmark, E-Gridiron Group President. “The EGG provides an opportunity for people to have an immediate impact on the football program by giving back, helping to build positive momentum, and really allows them to share in the growth and success of the football program and the University. We have heard time and time again from the current team and coaching staff how much they appreciate our support and how important the EGG’s contributions have been in their pursuit of a MAC Championship.”

A senior offensive guard, Clouse was one of the key members of a line that enabled the Hurons to roll up 4,275 yards in total offense in 1987 as well as scoring 343 points, the second-best output in EMU history. Clouse was chosen as the 1987 Mid-American Conference Lineman of the Year in an award jointly sponsored by the Miller Lite Brewing Company and The MAC Bulletin. Clouse was also a first-team All-MAC performer in ‘87.

Associated Press-Division I - All-American Honorable Mention

The Football News -Third-Team All-American

Charles Gordon earned honorable mention Division I All-American honors by the Associated Press for helping lead the 1987 EMU football team to the Mid-American Conference championship and a victory in the California Bowl. A sophomore defensive back, Gordon was named to the All-American Sophomore Team by The Football News and was also a first-team All-MAC performer in ‘87. He helped lead the Hurons to a school-record 10-2 record, the first-ever MAC football championship, and a 30-27 win over San Jose State in the California Bowl. Gordon led the team in interceptions with five.

L.J. Shelton was named third-team All-America by The Football News after the 1998 season. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Shelton, was a twotime, first-team All-Mid-American Conference selection at offensive left tackle. He became the first player in EMU football history to earn invitations to four post-season senior All-Star games. Shelton chose to participate in just one post-season game, the Senior Bowl, and he played the entire game at offensive left tackle. Shelton then became the highest draft choice in school history when he was the 21st pick in the 1999 National Football League Draft as a first-round selection of the Arizona Cardinals. Ron Johnson was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 22nd pick in the first round of the 1977 draft.

He averaged 37.2 yards per punt.

EMU Did You Know? This is the 41st year that Eastern Michigan University has called Rynearson Stadium home. Just over two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 21 of the 39 years, Eastern has averaged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That four-game â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602. The stadium is named after legendary Eastern Michigan coach Elton J. Rynearson, Sr. He was the head football coach for 28 seasons and complied a win-loss record of 114-58-15, including one stretch from 1925-33 when his teams lost just six games. Rynearson served the school for 46 years as a football and basketball coach as well as athletics director. * The 2004-2007 seasons included one neutral-site game, the Collegiate Clash played at Ford Field in Detroit. All four of those games counted in the total home attendance but not in the Rynearson Stadium overall record or attendance figures. In 2004 at Ford Field the Eagles won a dramatic 61-58 four-overtime decision over Central Michigan before 24,423 fans. The 2005 game at Ford Field, between EMU and Western Michigan, was an equally exciting game with WMU taking a 44-36 win before 11,191 fans. In 2006, Navy used a strong ground game to record a 49-21 win, while in 2007 Northwestern pulled out a 26-14 victory in front of a national television audience on ESPNU. #Official paid attendance

EMU Did You Know?

The seasons from 1925-38 are referred to as the “Glory Years” in the annals of Eastern Michigan University football. Elton J. Rynearson, Sr. returned to the University as head coach in 1925 and led the team to an 8-0 overall record and a 5-0 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) title. Starting with the 1925 season, Eastern recorded an 8019-7 record through the 1938 season. The banner year may have been the 1930 season when the football squad posted a 6-1 record, losing only to the University of Michigan by a 7-0 decision before 78,247 fans in Ann Arbor.

Team Award Winners JAMES M. “BINGO” BROWN AWARD (MOST VALUABLE OFFENSIVE PLAYER) The James M. “Bingo” Brown Award is awarded annually to the Eastern Michigan University football player who is voted by his teammates to have been the outstanding offensive player. The award is named for one of the most beloved and well known figures in the history of the Ypsilanti campus, James M. “Bingo” Brown. He died Sept. 1, 1965, at the age of 73. Known to thousands of young men and women only as “Bingo,” he served as football coach for two years (1923 and 1924) before being appointed dean of men in 1927, a position he held for 35 years until his retirement in 1962.

There were few observers that gave the Eastern Michigan University football team any chance of winning a battle with San José State University at the 1987 California Bowl. In fact, the oddsmakers made the Big West Champion Spartans of San José State a 17-point favorite in the matchup with Mid-American Conference champion Eastern Michigan. But Head Coach Jim Harkema’s “Road Warriors” proved that desire and determination could overcome those odds as Eastern recorded a thrilling 30-27 victory. The EMU offense ground out 212 yards rushing, including 130 yards from MVP Gary Patton in the win. The EMU defense also rose to the occasion, holding San José State to 81 yards rushing.

Eastern Michigan’s first-ever postseason bowl appearance would be a real challenge as the Hurons, ranked No. 3 in the NCAA-College Division national poll, would face off against a Louisiana Tech squad that was the No. 5 squad in the country, in the first Pioneer Bowl in Wichita Falls, Texas. Head Coach Dan Boisture’s squad entered the bowl game as one of the top defensive clubs in the country, allowing just one touchdown in the final five games of the 1971 season. While the defensive team was prepared for the bowl game, the offensive unit was trying to patch together an offensive backfield that had been crippled by injuries late in the season. Larry Ratcliff, Eastern’s standout tailback, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the seventh game of the season, Oct. 30 against Northern Michigan. Ratcliff’s backup, Don Madden, was also sidelined with an injury, leaving the vaunted EMU rushing game looking for a leader. Seldom-used tailback Tim Packrall stepped in and rushed for a game-high 122 yards on 31 carries but the EMU offense could muster just one score, a 22-yard field goal by Jackson Nunn. Louisiana Tech added a 91-yard punt return by Wenford Wilborn in the third quarter and the Bulldogs went on to post a 14-3 victory. That loss was the lone defeat for EMU on the way to a 7-1-2 overall mark in 1971.
