SEASON OUTLOOK

Season Outlook

One year ago, Sacramento State head coach Marshall Sperbeck sat in his outdated office preparing for his first season at the NCAA Div. I level. He knew he had an uphill battle ahead of him considering the Hornets began the year playing four of its first five games on the road, including two against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents, and the team did not return a single player who had completed a pass at quarterback. Fast forward one year and Sperbeck is a little more comfortable. His office now sits in the second-story corner of the newly completed Eli and Edythe Broad Fieldhouse, his team begins the year with four home games in five weeks and enters 2008 with a two-game winning streak. “Personally, just having been here one year with the staff is the biggest advantage,” Sperbeck explained. “Last season, we didn’t know the kids and the players didn’t know the offense. Now everyone has had a year to get acclimated. “Adding the Broad Fieldhouse has given everyone a sense of pride. The staff is now all in the same building and it is a big plus in developing the program.” The new facility is not the only thing Sperbeck has to be excited about. The Hornets are one of only three schools in the Football Championship Subdivision to return a pair of All-America linebackers in seniors Cyrus Mulitalo and Mike Brannon. The duo put Sacramento State in elite company as they are joined by defending national champion Appalachian State and playoff participant Southern Illinois. The Hornet defense returns six starters from a unit

which led the Big Sky Conference in rushing yards allowed at a paltry 117.5 yards per game. “I believe we have one of the best group of linebackers in the country (for the Football Championship Subdivision),” Sperbeck said. “The defense was able to keep us in a lot of games last season.” Offensively, Sacramento State brings back its leading passer in Jason Smith, its top rusher from a year ago in Bryan Hilliard and two of its top three receivers (Tony Washington and Dylan Lane). The offense will also be bolstered by four returning starters on the offensive line. “In my experience, at the JC level, there was usually a big jump between the first and second year for most players,” Sperbeck said. “Now that most of the guys have a year in the system, we are hoping for that same progression.” The Broad Fieldhouse, which opened in late spring, was busy nearly everyday in the summer with voluntary workouts. Almost every member of the team and numerous incoming freshmen participated in the workout program which was led by Director of Strength & Conditioning Gary Uribe and his staff. “I believe we are now recruiting the type of player who understands that to be successful you need to work all year,” Sperbeck said. “Most of the team is staying in town, working in the area and going to summer school.” The 2008 schedule will also benefit Sacramento State. A year after playing at Fresno State and New Mexico, the Hornets will return to playing just one FBS opponent as they travel to Colorado State. The other

non-league games consist of home contests against Humboldt State and Southern Oregon and a trip across the causeway to face UC Davis. The team’s Big Sky slate begins with home games against Weber State and Portland State followed by trips to Northern Arizona and Montana. A home game against Montana State leads into a trip to Eastern Washington. The final two league games are home against Northern Colorado and at Idaho State. “This year’s schedule gives us a chance to start the year with success which is something that has not happened at Sacramento State for a while,” Sperbeck explained. “Every team comes out of camp with high hopes but after a couple of losses early in the year, most teams begin to lose their confidence.”

DEFENSIVE LINE

Starters Returning/Lost: 1/4 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 3/7 Sacramento State returns just one starter from a year ago but has several returners on the defensive line. Sophomore Christian Clark started at defensive tackle in four games during the 2007 season and will likely occupy a spot in the starting lineup when the 2008 season begins. “Christian is going to be our anchor on the defensive line,” Sperbeck said. “We have high expectations for him as a player and think he can continue to develop into one of the top players in the league.” The rest of the front four is not so clear, as the


SEASON OUTLOOK group will look to reload following a year in which the team led the Big Sky with 33 sacks. Gone is first team all-Big Sky nose tackle Dallas Mauga as well as defensive ends Blaine Jackson, James Henderson and Joe Rudulph and defensive tackle Chris Hurts. Expected to compete for those jobs in the middle are junior Bill Sherman and converted offensive lineman John Garth. Sherman has played in each of the last two seasons and has continued to improve each year. Garth came to Sacramento State as a defensive lineman but was shifted to the offensive side after injuries depleted the unit prior to the start of last season. He ended up starting nine games as a guard. Others that could play in the middle include incoming freshmen Maika Maumau, Brent Turner and Sione Moala. The defensive end spots feature redshirt freshman Zach Nash, JC transfers Ryan Shinar and Kevin Moore, Boise State transfer Ben Chandler, senior Kevin Hall and a handful of freshmen. Nash is a product of Vacaville High School and developed nicely last season and in the spring. Shinar, Moore and Chandler all played well during the spring and bring some experience to the position. Hall returns to the active roster after missing the last three years with a back injury. At 6-5, 250, the Sacramento native has the physical tools needed to succeed. Also new to the unit this fall will be freshmen Brian McKeon, Darryl Johnson, Joe Don Duncan and Reese Heaslet.

LINEBACKERS

Starters Returning/Lost: 3/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 6/1 Undeniably the deepest position on the team, the linebacking corps returns all three starters from a year ago as well as most of its reserves. The group is led by All-Americans Cyrus Mulitalo and Mike Brannon and honorable mention all-Big Sky selection Mike Hickman. Last season, the trio combined for 245 tackles, including 39.5 for loss. A two-time all-Big Sky selection, Mulitalo led the team with 98 stops in 2007. He was named to the Big Sky first team last season and has combined for 218 tackles over the last two years. “Cyrus brings energy to the defense,” Sperbeck said. “He has proven himself over the last two seasons to be one of the top players at our level. We will count on him to be a leader on defense.” Brannon shifted from defensive end to linebacker prior to the start of the 2007 season and made the move look easy. The Rancho Cordova, Calif., native earned first team all-Big Sky honors for the first time in his career after tallying 81 tackles, 18.0 tackles-forloss and 9.5 sacks. Brannon needs just 5.5 tacklesfor-loss to tie the school record and 13 total tackles to move into the career top 10 at Sacramento State. “Mike is a big-play guy,” Sperbeck explained. “We can move him around and he has the ability to get into the backfield. He should continue to be able to change the game.” Hickman, who followed Sperbeck to Sacramento from Foothill JC, made an immediate impact during his first season. The Millbrae, Calif., native finished with 66 total stops, including eight for loss, and earned honorable mention all-Big Sky accolades.

“Mike is not has flashy as some of the other guys but he is just a football player,” Sperbeck said. “You know that he will always show up and give you an honest effort.” The group behind the three starters has the Hornets ready for years to come. Veteran Faheem Muhammad will once again provide depth to the unit as well as play on the front line in nickel situations. Redshirt freshmen Bilal Muhammad (no relation), David Coleman (a converted quarterback) and Greg Johnson (who moved from safety) are also expected to play during their first active season. Junior college transfers Caleb Hale, Weber State transfer Carlo Trinchero and incoming freshmen Jarom Baldomero and Villiami Finau complete the group. Junior Geoff Warner, who has played behind Mulitalo the past two seasons, will likely miss the year due to injury.

DEFENSIVE BACKS

Starters Returning/Lost: 0/4 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 6/6 Like the front four, the defensive secondary is wide open heading into the year. Senior Kevin Davis is the only player on the Hornet roster who has started a game for Sacramento State in the defensive backfield. A five-year veteran, Davis has earned the starting nod five times, including four last season. During the 2007 season, he had a career-best 35 tackles and also grabbed his first career interception. “We are going to be very young in the secondary,” Sperbeck said. “There are a lot of players who are going to be given the opportunity to succeed and we’ll have to evaluate who the best are during camp.” While Davis has the seniority, he will be pushed by a pair of newcomers. Former Valley High School standout Michael Casper returns to his hometown after spending two seasons at Mendocino College where he was an all-Bay Valley Conference selection. Freshman Jeff Johnson will also be pushing for a starting job. A graduate of powerhouse Long Beach Poly (the same alma mater as Davis), Johnson was part of a secondary last season in which all four players earned Div. I scholarships. One of the biggest changes will be at safety where the Hornets will start a pair other than Brett Shelton and Brent Webber for the first time in four years. The

Mike Hickman Senior Linebacker

two Central California products combined to start 85 games and rank second and third in school history in career tackles. Ironically, the leading candidates to replace them did not play the position last season. Junior Dorian Brown and senior Matt Evans played linebacker for the team but returned to their native position during the spring. At 6-1, 205, Brown is as physical as any safety in the Big Sky. He began his career at Sacramento State in the backfield but pushed forward last season to add some depth at linebacker. He finished with 23 total tackles, including five for loss, and forced a fumble. Evans was a third team JC All-American at Sacramento City in 2006. That year, he was named the Mid-Empire Defensive MVP and also took home first team all-league honors. Like Brown, Evans provides some extra size in the back row of the defense as he stands at 6-1, 220. Returners Peter Buck and Jared Vanderbeek, and redshirt freshman Nate Boyer could also vie for a starting job and will see time in nickel situations. “I’m comfortable with the guys we have at safety,” Sperbeck said. “Between them, we should be able to find a combination that is effective.” Returners Eric Velez and Ryan Battle could also see time at cornerback while newcomers Deionte Gordon, Robert Virgil, Marquise Jones-Carr, Marquese Smith and Michael Peters have all played cornerback in the past but could possibly move to safety if needed, according to the coaches.

QUARTERBACKS

Starters Returning/Lost: 1/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 2/1 A year ago, the quarterback job was decided by three players who had never completed a pass at the Div. I level. This year, the battle will be slightly different as three QBs with Div. I experience will fight it out during fall training camp. The incumbent starter is sophomore Jason Smith, who earned the job in all 11 games last season. A native of Brentwood, Calif., Smith enrolled at Sacramento State in the fall of 2006 but decided not to play football. However, after the coaching change which brought Sperbeck to campus, he decided to head back to the gridiron in the spring of 2007. Smith’s first season played out like a rollercoaster ride with plenty of ups and downs. He threw for 1,826 yards and 10 touchdowns and tied the school record with 52 pass attempts against UC Davis. However, he also had 17 interceptions. One of the factors working against Smith is the fact that he missed all of spring practice with a back injury. His absence opened the door for returner Duncan White and transfer McLeod Bethel-Thompson to share snaps during the team’s practices. White was thrust into action during his true freshman season after Smith was shaken up in three games. The Lake Oswego, Ore., native finished the year 4-of-12 but bounced back in the spring leading the first team offense. Bethel-Thompson joined the squad just prior to the start of the spring semester. A native of San Francisco, he earned high accolades at Balboa High School and eventually signed with UCLA. After redshirting in 2006, he was one of the backups for the Bruins for most of last season but did see time in five games.

SEASON OUTLOOK In fact, Bethel-Thompson started for UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl game against BYU where he threw for 154 yards and a touchdown. “I think it will be very competitive between the three of them during the fall,” Sperbeck said. “Each of them have different strengths and all have had at least a semester of experience.”

RUNNING BACKS

Starters Returning/Lost: 1/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 2/1 It took Bryan Hilliard a little while to adjust to the college game, but once the Elk Grove, Calif., native figured out what it took to succeed he was relentless on the opposition. Hilliard finished the year with 826 rushing yards to lead the team and also found the end zone seven times. What makes his total even more impressive is the fact that he only had three rushing yards through the first three games of the year. His season was capped off by three-straight 100-yard games, including a 243-yard, three-touchdown effort against Idaho State in the season finale. “Bryan played about as good as a freshman can last season,” Sperbeck said. “He gained more confidence as the season progressed and carried that over into the spring.” Hilliard will likely receive the lion’s share of the carries as only sophomore Evander Wilkins returns to the team. Wilkins saw playing time as a freshman and even started one game. He experimented at wide receiver during the spring before moving back to the backfield. The incoming class features three players who posted monster numbers at the high school level. Andre Island posted 1,577 and 20 TDs for McClymonds High School; Jake Croxdale amassed 2,035 yards and 33 scores for Napa High School and Anthony Biasi tallied 1,797 yards and 16 touchdowns for Casa Grande High School. All four players also earned all-league honors during their final season.

RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS

Starters Returning/Lost: 3/1 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 6/4 Tony Washington and Dylan Lane will lead an experienced group of receivers into 2008. Washington was an honorable mention all-Big Sky selection after grabbing 29 passes for 414 yards. His biggest catch of the year came at Northern Colorado when he hauled in a deflected pass in the back of the end zone to give the Hornets a victory as time expired. A walk-on last season, Lane was a favorite target of Smith’s, catching 24 passes, including two touchdowns. The receiving corps also features senior Torrell Baker, sophomore Ronald Richardson and junior Elon Paige. Redshirt freshman Chase Deadder (6-2, 205) and JC transfer Jon Blea (6-4, 210) provide two large targets — something the team lacked last season. Other newcomers include slot receiver/kick returner Kyle Hill, JC transfer Lavonte Kirven and all-metro selection Taylor Schablaske of Ponderosa High School. Brian Heath and Ryan Martin both return at tight end and will be joined by newcomers Marc Lavey and Kevin Galindo. Heath started every game at the position last season. “We would like to increase our production from the tight end spot,” Sperbeck said. “Heath and Martin both have experience, Lavey had a good spring and Galindo might be the best pass catcher of the group.”

OFFENSIVE LINE

Starters Returning/Lost: 2/2 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 4/3 On paper, the Hornets return four players who started games last season on the offensive line. However, that number is cut in half when you consider John Garth’s move to the defensive line and the injury to Jordan Hunter which has him questionable for the upcoming season. The two veterans back on the line are Ray Navar

Tony Washington Senior WR

and Matt Lemley who both earned all-Big Sky honors last season. A converted tight end, Navar started all 11 games at strong-side tackle during his first season in the trenches. Lemley was side-by-side with Navar on the strong side, earning the starting job at guard. Together, they were part of a line which allowed just 18 sacks all season and saw the team increase its rushing output by 94 yards a game compared to the season before. The other three spots on the line were likely filled in the spring with the arrival of JC transfers Peter Lenz and Clint Lessard as well as redshirt freshman John Taylor. Lenz, who will play guard, played two seasons at City College of San Francisco and was named all-NorCal as a sophomore. Lessard was a JC All-American at Sierra College and will man the tackle spot on the weak side. Taylor rounds out the trio and will fight for the starting job at center. The Stockton, Calif., native will be pressured from JC transfer Patrick Walsh and returner Denton Tuiasosopo. “I feel like we really got a steal with Lenz and Lessard,” Sperbeck said. “They are both very good players and will start for us in the fall.” Newcomers to the unit include JC transfer Adam Stokes and freshmen Clay DePauw, Vince Weaver, Devon English, Gallieni Sylvestre and Nate Doverspike.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Starters Returning/Lost: 2/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 2/0 The kicking department remains intact from a year ago with placekicker Juan Gamboa and punter Oscar De Alba both entering their senior season. Gamboa was an honorable mention all-Big Sky selection after leading the team with 49 points. De Alba was the team’s primary punter and tallied three punts of at least 50 yards while placing two inside the 20-yard line. The return game will get a boost with Hill back on kickoffs. The JC transfer will compete with Washington on punt returns.

Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex

The Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex is an ambitious project that will change the face and character of Sacramento State. It is a centerpiece of Destination 2010, an initiative to transform the campus into a premier metropolitan university and a destination campus. Thanks to generous gifts by philanthropist and San Diego Chargers owner Alex G. Spanos and his wife, Faye, the facility has had more than $13 million in upgrades since 1998. The stadium also is at the center of an ambitious project that will includes the newly completed Eli and Edythe Broad Fieldhouse, a recreation center and arena, and stadium renovation — all part of the Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex. Alex G. and Faye Spanos provided the leadership gift of $10 million to support expansion of the Spanos Sports Complex. There will be additional funding from other private sources and a new fee that students supported in a 2004 referendum. The first expansion phase of the complex is the recently completed Broad Fieldhouse in recognition of a $2 million gift from Eli and Edythe Broad. The facility is on the south side of the stadium and includes a nearly 6,000 square-foot weight room as well as locker rooms, offices and athletic training room. Also in 2008, Sacramento State will break ground on the Recreation and Wellness Center on the north side of the stadium. At approximately 150,000 square feet, the facility wil have an indoor track, fitness center, recreational courts, rock-climbing walls and a health center. Sacramento State is currently pursuing public-private partnership options for the arena portion of the complex. It will be built on the east of the stadium and seat 6,000-8,000 for events such as intercollegiate basketball, commencement and concerts. The stadium renovation will include a more permanent structure and additional amenities. The development of the Spanos Sports Complex is part of a broad campus initiative known as Destination 2010. Its goal is to make Sacramento State a premier metropolitan university and destination campus for the West through enhanced academic and student programs, improved facilities, and additional community support. Additional information can be found at www.SpanosSportsComplex.com.

FOOTBALL

Against the Best

Every season, Sacramento State competes against some of the best teams in Div. I Football Bowl Subdivision. Last year, the Hornets opened the season at Fresno State and also played at New Mexico. Both teams went on to play in bowl games at the end of that year. Sacramento State has also faced Cal, Oregon State, Boise State (the year it won the Fiesta Bowl), Nevada and UTEP in the last six years. This year, Sacramento State will continue its tradition by travelling to Colorado State for the first time. The team’s 2007 Football Championship Subdivision opponents feature two playoff squads from a year ago. In fact, the Big Sky Conference has sent two teams to the Div. I FCS playoffs in 18 of the last 19 seasons.

In the Community

Hornet players are active in the community. The team has made frequent visits to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital and is also represented on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council. This past spring, numerous members of the team volunteered at the Race for the Cure which benefits breast cancer research.

In the Pros

Fifteen former Hornets have played in an NFL game, including current New England Patrio Lonie Paxton who has won three Super Bowls in his eight years. Sacramento State currently boasts one player in the NFL, four in the Canadian Football League, five in the Arena Football League and several in AFL2.

Strength & Conditioning One of the biggest benefits to the new Broad Fieldhouse is the nearly 6,000-foot weight room. The state-of-the-art facility features enough room for up to 50 student-athletes to train simultaneously and is three times larger than the previous location. Completed in May of 2008, the weight room has 10 Olympic platforms, a large dumbell area, and numerous machine weights to help strengthen student-athletes. The facility also has equipment used for rehabilition purposes. The weight room is also air conditiioned and features a high performance sound system. Under the direction of Gary Uribe, the strength and conditioning program uses a movement-based philosophy which emphasizes the development of speed, explosiveness, power, strength, flexibility, and conditioning while minimizing injury through direct supervision. This program is based on consistency, accountability, progression and effort. The movement-based program is a periodic, year-round plan which covers all facets of athletic performance. All modes of training are emphasized to help maximize the athlete’s genetic potential. This program is an aggressive, enthusiastic approach to training and provides the studentathlete with a comprehensive strength program to help each individual reach their highest level of competition. The program also develops mental fortitude and increases confidence within the individual, building team unity through a disciplined approach to training.

Gary Uribe

Scott Salwasser

Gary Uribe is entering his third year as the Director of Strength and Conditioning. Uribe came to the Hornets after spending three years as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Southern California. While at USC, he assisted with the football and baseball programs, and also served as the head strength and conditioning coach for men’s and women’s track & field, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s tennis, men’s golf and women’s cross country. He earned his master’s degree in physical education from Azusa Pacific in 2005 and a bachelor’s degree in health services management from LaVerne in 1996. Assistant strength and conditioning coach Scott Salwasser returns for his fifth year in 2008.



COACHING STAFF

HEAD COACH

MARSHALL SPERBECK Marshall Sperbeck is entering his second year as the Sacramento State head coach. Sperbeck was hired to lead the Hornets on Jan. 13, 2007 and became the ninth head coach in school history. During his first season at Sacramento State, Sperbeck coached 13 players who earned all-Big Sky Conference honors, including linebackers Cyrus Mulitalo and Mike Brannon, and defensive tackle Dallas Mauga who each earned first team accolades. Known for his high-powered offenses, Sperbeck was given the tough task of leading a unit in 2007 that featured a freshman quarterback, two new running backs and only one returning wide receiver. He overcame those obstacles and coached an offense which averaged 341.5 yards per game. That mark was the most for a Hornet team since 2002. Prior to coming to Sacramento State, Sperbeck was the head football coach at Foothill College in Los Altos, Calif., for 15 years. During

that time, he produced a 109-53 overall record and led the Owls to 11 bowl games. In his final season, Foothill was 10-1 overall and tied for the Northern California Football Association title. The team played in the Silicon Valley Bowl and downed Sierra JC, 24-0. In 2006, Foothill was one of the top offensive teams in the state with Sperbeck calling the plays. The Owls led all California Junior Colleges with 478.8 yards per game. Foothill also ranked at the top of the list with 590.2 allpurpose yards per game, 7.2 yards per play and 9.6 yards per pass attempt. The Owls were also second in the state with 58 touchdowns and 42.8 points per game. Foothill ended the season as the top-ranked team in Northern California and scored at least 40 points in seven of its 10 regular season games. The respect for Sperbeck by his assistant coaches was evidenced last season when three of his assistants from Foothill came to Sacra-

COACHING STAFF mento State as members of the coaching staff. Running backs coach Aaron Ingram and offensive line coach Jeff Remington work side-by-side with Sperbeck in coaching the offense. Linebackers coach Josh Brown reunited with Sperbeck after coaching at Arizona State. The 2006 success was just the latest in a long run by Sperbeck’s teams. In his 15 years at the helm, Foothill had only two losing seasons (both 4-6). In fact, the Owls averaged 7.3 wins per season and won at least eight games in eight of the last nine years. The team also had great success in the postseason, winning its last eight bowl games — including three by shutout. Those numbers resulted in Foothill being nationally ranked seven times in the last eight years. Sperbeck’s players also left Foothill ready to continue their collegiate careers regardless of their football ability as 86 percent of the sophomore football players transferred to four-year institutions. That said, Foothill also produced numerous players that earned football scholarships, averaging 11 per year since 1998. A few of the recent transfers to have success are former Weber State running back Johnnie Gray, Mississippi State quarterback Josh Riddel and current Hornet linebacker Mike Hickman. A native of Sacramento, Sperbeck graduated from Valley High School. He later played at the

Following college, he had two stints in NFL training camps before joining the Foothill JC staff as an assistant coach in 1985. He coached the quarterbacks and receivers and was later elevated to offensive coordinator before becoming head coach in 1992. Sperbeck earned a bachelor’s of science degree in physical education from Nevada in 1984 and later added a master’s of education from United States International in 1989. Marshall and his wife, Kelley, have three children: Brooke (14), Thomas (13), and Ally (11).

“Marshall is as good of a coach as there is out there. His record speaks for itself. When you can get it done the way he has at Foothill Junior College, I have no doubt he will be very successful at Sacramento State.” Chris Peterson, Head Coach Boise State “Marshall Sperbeck is exactly what Sacramento State needs. He is a quality coach with a great work ethic and an excellent football mind. More importantly, his character is impeccable. I’m confident that Marshall will bring credibility to the football program and be a very positive asset for the University.” Chris Ault, Head Coach Nevada “I have known Marshall for the past 15 years and through our discussions, I have always respected his knowledge of the game of football. His teams are well prepared and his leadership is evident in the way his Foothill teams have performed.” John Elway Hall of Fame Quarterback & Super Bowl MVP “I have known Marshall for at least 30 years – he played for me at Valley (High School). I saw him go through the ranks and helped him prepare for college and beyond. I can tell you he is one of the hardest working coaches I’ve ever come across. I have seen him mature as a person and as a coach and think enough of him to have sent a son to Los Altos; not just for the football aspect but because he is a great role model. “I am glad to see Sacramento State went in this direction. He will do well, both in the win/loss category as well as getting community support.” Dave Hoskins, Former Co-Head Coach Elk Grove High School

Josh Brown

Defensive Coordinator 15th Year Sacramento State, ’91

Linebackers/ Recruiting Coordinator Second Year San Jose State, ’02

The longest tenured member of the Sacramento State coaching staff, Lou Baiz enters his third campaign as the team’s defensive coordinator. A former Hornet linebacker, Baiz has been with Sacramento State the past 14 years. During that span, he has primarily coached on the defensive side of the ball and has also worked as the team’s financial aid liaison and assistant head coach. During his time at Sacramento State, 27 of his players have earned all-Big Sky Conference honors. That list includes eight players who earned the honor last season. He has also coached six All-Americans (Ryland Wickman, Anthony Daisley, Matt Logue, Cyrus Mulitalo, Brent Webber and Mike Brannon) and 12 all-Big Sky academic selections. In his first year as defensive coordinator (2006), Baiz guided a unit which was one of the most effective in the Big Sky. Among the eight players that were named all-conference were a pair of linebackers who were taught directly by Baiz. Mulitalo earned honorable mention All-America honors after recording a team-high 120 tackles, including 11.5 for loss. Safety Brent Webber was also named third team All-America after ranking second in Div. I-AA with six interceptions. In 2007, Sacramento State led the Big Sky in rushing defense after allowing just 99.1 yards per game against conference foes. The team also ranked second in total defense, giving up 353.8 yards per game in Big Sky play. Individually, Mulitalo and Brannon each earned honorable mention All-America honors and defensive tackle Dallas Mauga joined the two on the all-Big Sky first team. After one season of working with the defensive ends, Baiz returned to coaching the linebackers in 2004. Under his watch, both Jimmy Ellingson and Logue were named second team all-Big Sky. Ellingson ended the season with 132 total tackles while Logue tallied 89 to rank as the team’s top two tacklers. In 2005, Logue totaled 105 tackles and was named the co-Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year. Baiz spent three years working in the San Diego State program as a graduate assistant before joining the Sacramento State staff in 1994. A native of Claremont, Calif., Baiz worked with the offensive line, tight ends and linebackers in his time at San Diego State. The 1991 Aztecs finished 8-4 and earned a berth in the Freedom Bowl. The Most Inspirational Player for Sacramento State in 1990, Baiz joined the Hornets in 1988 from Citrus College and was a standout linebacker for strong prep teams at Claremont High School. He graduated from Sacramento State in 1991 with a degree in social science. Baiz added a master’s degree in recreation administration from Sacramento State in June of 1999. He and his wife, Brooke, are the parents of 4-year old twins, Reece and Shea. Recruiting Area: All high schools and junior colleges in the Sacramento area.

Now in his second season at Sacramento State, Josh Brown will again coach the linebackers in 2008 and serve as the team’s recruiting coordinator. During his first year with the team, Brown coached a linebacking corps which featured two All-Americans (Cyrus Mulitalo and Mike Brannon) and three all-Big Sky Conference selections (Mulitalo, Brannon and Mike Hickman). Those three players all ranked among the top five on the team in tackles and combined for 245 total tackles, 39.5 tackles-for-loss and 14.0 sacks. Individually, Brannon’s 18.0 TFL and 9.5 sacks rank second and eighth, respectively, in school single-season history. Brown came to the Hornets from Arizona State where he was a graduate assistant during the 2006 season for the Sun Devils. In his one year with the team, four Sun Devils were named all-Pac-10 on the defensive side of the ball. That list was highlighted by safety Josh Barrett who led the team with 82 tackles and three interceptions during his junior season. Barrett was named to the 2006 watch list for the Lott Trophy, an award which is given annually to the nation’s top defensive back. Prior to moving to ASU, Brown was a defensive assistant at Foothill College under Sperbeck for five seasons. He began his tenure as the defensive line coach from 2000-03 and eventually moved to linebackers and special teams coordinator in 2004 and 2005. Brown was also given the responsibility of the assistant defensive coordinator during his final two seasons. While with the Owls, Brown made all the defensive and special teams calls during the game. Brown also coached a pair of Northern California Defensive Players of the Year and Junior College All-Americans. In 2002, Joe Maningo earned the honor before transferring to Cal. Justin Luettgerodt received the same accolade after the 2003 season. Luettgerodt eventually played at BYU. A native of San Luis Obispo, Calif., Brown has also coached at Gavilan JC in 1999 and San Luis Obispo High School in 1998. After playing his high school ball at San Luis Obispo HS (1990-94), Brown spent two seasons on the Gavilan JC team (1994-95). He finished his career at Oklahoma in 1996. Brown graduated from San Jose State in 2002 with a bachelor of arts degree in sociology and added a master’s degree from Arizona State in education curriculum in 2007.

He also ended the year strong, rushing for at least 100 yards in each of the final three games, including a 243-yard, three-touchdown effort against Idaho State in season finale. Junior Travon Jones was also a pivotal part to the 2007 team. Jones ranked second with 734 rushing yards and had three 100-yard games. Prior to coming to Sacramento State, Ingram spent three seasons as the running backs coach at Foothill College in Los Altos, Calif. A veteran offensive coach, Ingram was the quarterbacks coach at San Jose City College from Dec. 2002-Dec. 2004 before moving to Foothill.

COACHING STAFF Jon Osterhout

Jeff Remington

Defensive Line Seventh Year Sacramento State, ’04

Offensive Line Second Year MidAmerica Nazarene, ’02

Former Sacramento State All-American Jon Osterhout is the newest member of the coaching staff. Osterhout, who is in his second tenure on the Hornet coaching staff, was hired as the team’s defensive line coach this past March. Osterhout spent the previous two years as a graduate assistant at Nebraska after coaching the Hornets for six seasons. While at Nebraska, Osterhout worked extensively with the defensive line. In 2007, he assisted as the Huskers broke in four new starters on the defensive front. In his first year at NU, Osterhout helped develop a unit that included 2006 Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year Adam Carriker, who was selected as the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams, and Jay Moore, who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round. Osterhout spent four of his six years on the Hornet coaching staff as the team’s defensive line coach. He also served as camp director for two years and handled all the preparation for the team’s successful high school camps. He began coaching the defensive line in 2002, and under his leadership, Sacramento State allowed nearly 90 fewer rushing yards per game and had 12 more quarterback sacks. That same season, defensive linemen Eric Broden, Bilal Watkins and Brad Osterhout (his brother) were each named honorable mention all-Big Sky. Two years later, the defense set the school’s FCS/Div. I-AA era record with 33 sacks during the season. Nearly one-third of that total came from defensive end Jacob Houston who earned second team all-Big Sky honors. Osterhout continued the unit’s progress the following year and saw two of his players (Mike Brannon and Walter Brock) earn honorable mention all-Big Sky honors. As a player, Osterhout starred for the Hornets from 1995-99. During that span, he played nearly every position on the offensive line and was integral in helping Charles Roberts shatter numerous school, Big Sky and national records. Following his senior season, Osterhout was a first-team All-American and signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins. Osterhout is regarded as one of the toughest players ever to wear a Hornet uniform as he started on the offensive line in each of his four active seasons. He was also a two-time all-Big Sky Conference selection and was the team’s captain, most valuable player and most inspirational player as a senior. He was one of nine players inducted to the school’s football Hall of Fame in May 2008. After retiring from professional football, Osterhout returned to Sacramento State and coached the Hornet tight ends during the 2000 season. Osterhout graduated from Sacramento State with a degree in communication studies. He married former Hornet volleyball player Alison Gahr in the summer of 2005 and the couple welcomed their first son, Hudson, in April of 2008. Recruiting Area: All high schools and junior colleges in Northern California.

Jeff Remington enters his second season as the Hornets’ offensive line coach. In his first season with the team, he coached center Kyle Leitzke, guard Matt Lemley and tackle Ray Navar to all-Big Sky Conference honors. That unit also paved the way for an offense which averaged 157.4 rushing yards per game — the most for a Hornet team since the 2000 team averaged 207.9 behind All-American running back Charles Roberts. Before joining the Hornet staff, Remington was the assistant head coach and offensive line coach under Marshall Sperbeck at Foothill College from 2003-06. While at Foothill, the Owls were ranked in the nation’s top 20 for three years. He also coached 10 all-conference selections during that time and had his offense ranked in the top 10 in California. Prior to Foothill, Remington was the offensive line and strength and conditioning coach at Minnesota-Morris in 2002. He coached two all-league selections in his two seasons while also coordinating the offensive practice and game planning. From 1994-2001, Remington coached at Henry M. Gunn High School in Palo Alto, Calif., and was the head coach for his final four seasons. During that span, he produced a 27-12-1 record and led the team to a league title in 2000. His 1999 team advanced to the section playoffs for the first time in school history. Remington earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from MidAmerica Nazarene in 2002. He and his wife, Stephanie, have two children — Jordan (8) and Payton (3). Recruiting Area: All high schools and junior colleges in the San Francisco area and South Bay.

In 2003, the Toreros’ special teams limited the opposition to 0.4 yards per punt return, no touchdowns and did not allow a blocked punt. As a running backs coach, Sanchez tutored Evan Harney, who ranked second in Div. I-AA in 2003 in rushing. Sanchez has also worked at San Diego State, with the B.C. Lions of the Canadian Football League and as a high school coach. With San Diego State, he was an offensive graduate assistant with emphasis on the line for two years.

FRESNO, Calif. — The Sacramento State football team opened its 2007 season with a 24-3 loss at Fresno State at Bulldog Stadium. Fresno State posted the first points of the game when Tom Brandstater found tight end Bear Pascoe for a 27-yard touchdown pass down the middle of the field. On the third-down play, Pascoe found a seam in the Hornet coverage, caught the ball at the 5-yard line and sprinted into the end zone. Following a Bulldog fumble, the Hornet offense drove inside the 10-yard line before Juan Gamboa connected on a 26-yard field goal with 9:14 remaining in the first half. Fresno State answered right back on its next drive. A big kickoff return setup a short TD Lonyae Miller with 6:48 left on the clock. Fresno State added to its lead with a 28-yard touchdown run from Clifton Smith. The final points came on a 47-yard field goal from Clint Stitser with 6:10 remaining in the contest.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Tremayne Kirkland caught a 42-yard touchdown pass with 2:06 remaining in the game to give Portland State its first lead and Jordan Senn returned an interception for a touchdown to secure a 35-24 win over Sacramento State at PGE Park. The first half was similar to a boxing match in which the Hornets threw methodical jabs only to be countered by the knockout punch of PSU. Sacramento State scored the game’s first points when Ryan Coogler caught and 18-yard pass in the corner of the end zone with 2:52 remaining in the first quarter. Portland State answered right back with a lengthy kick return which brought the ball into Hornet territory.

OGDEN, Utah — Sophomore Tim Toone caught four touchdown passes and Weber State racked up 433 yards of total offense en route to a 26-7 win over Sacramento State at a snowy Stewart Stadium. Despite battling snow throughout the day, Weber State used a balanced offensive attack. Running backs Trevyn Smith (110 yards) and Adrian Conway (56 yards) did most of the damage in the middle of the field, but Toone was the go-to-guy inside the red zone. The sophomore put WSU on top with a 15-yard grab from Cameron Higgins with 2:02 left in the first quarter. Sacramento State took the ensuing kickoff and moved the ball to the 50-yard line but quarterback Jason Smith mishandled the snap and the ball was recovered by the Wildcats. On the first play following the turnover, Higgins threw deep down the middle of the field where Toone tipped the ball twice before hauling it in and running the final 15 yards into the end zone with one second left in the opening quarter. A missed extra point made the score 13-0 and that mark held BY THE NUMBERS until halftime. SAC WSU

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento State football team rallied but fell just short in a 31-26 loss to UC Davis in the 54th-Annual Causeway Classic presented by Pepsi in front of 13,073 fans at Hornet Stadium. Trailing 16-0, Sacramento State scored its first points of the game on a 21-yard field goal from Juan Gamboa with 23 seconds to play in the first half. The pace of the game picked up dramatically in the third quarter when senior Tyler Fanucchi scored his first career touchdown on a 20-yard pass from Jason Smith. The Aggies used just four plays to answer right back with a touchdown of their own. Kale Turner made a diving one-handed catch along the sideline for a 37yard gain and helped set up a 10-yard strike from Matt Engle to Brandon Rice BY THE NUMBERS to give UC Davis a two-touchdown 1 2 3 4 - F advantage.

GREELEY, Colo. — Junior Tony Washington gathered in a tipped ball in the back of the end zone on a desperation pass as time expired to give Sacramento State a 20-17 victory over Northern Colorado at Nottingham Field. Trailing, 17-14, with just three seconds remaining on Northern Colorado’s 44-yard line, quarterback Jason Smith rolled to his left and heaved a ball to the front center of the end zone. The ball was tipped by Ryan Coogler and caught by Washington just in front of the end line for the score. Northern Colorado had taken the lead with 44 seconds remaining on a 24-yard pass from Dominic Breazeale to Cory Fauver in the right corner of end zone. After returning the kickoff to the 30-yard line, Smith rushed for a 24-yard gain to take the ball into UNCO territory. The team then tried to move into field goal territory but the drive stalled at the 44-yard line forcing the desperation pass. The final play overshadowed an amazing rushing effort by the Hornets.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Freshman Bryan Hilliard rushed for a career-high 243 yards and three touchdowns to help lead Sacramento State to a 41-30 win over Idaho State at Hornet Stadium. For the second consecutive week, Sacramento State turned to its ground game. The Hornets, who compiled 312 rushing yards in the win at Northern Colorado last week, ran for 335 yards against ISU to record the fifth-best team total in the school’s Div. I-AA/FCS era. Hilliard carried the majority of the load, rushing 38 times en route to his amazing effort. His total ranks ninth in school history and placed him just two yards off of Ryan Mole’s freshman record of 245. Hilliard also became the first Hornet to BY THE NUMBERS 1 2 3 4 - F record three straight 100-yard games ISU 14 0 3 13 - 30 since Tyronne Gross pulled off the SAC 14 7 0 20 - 41 trifecta in 2003.

2007 News & Notes Linebacker U

Since moving to Div. I in the early 1990s, Sacramento State has had a history of success at linebacker. That tradition continued last season as three Hornets earned all-Big Sky accolades. The group was led by middle linebacker Cyrus Mulitalo and outside linebacker Mike Brannon who were both named to the first team. Newcomer Mike Hickman rounded out the trio with honorable mention honors. The awards continued for Mulitalo and Brannon following the season as they were named honorable mention All-America by The Sports Network. The pair put the Hornets in elite company during the 2008 season as Sacramento State is one of just three schools to return a pair of All-American linebackers. The other two schools are two-time defending FCS champion Appalachian State and playoff participant Southern Illinois.

End of an Era

The 2007 season marked the end of the tandem of Brent Webber and Brett Shelton in the Hornet secondary. The pair, who combined to start 85 games over four years, played their careers side-by-side at safety. Both players were FCS Freshman All-Americans in 2004 and were named all-Big Sky all four years. Shelton concluded his career with 326 total tackles and Webber added 249 to rank second and fourth in school history, respectively. The pair also own the two best totals by a Hornet defensive back.

View From the Top

For the first time in school history, Sacramento State led the Big Sky in rushing defense. The Hornets surrendered just 117.5 rushing yards per game which was nearly nine yards better than second-place Montana. During the season, Sacramento State held six of its 11 opponents to less than 100 rushing yards in a game. That total includes the unit’s amazing performance against UC Davis in which the Aggies amassed two yards on 34 rush attempts. Helping aid the rushing numbers was a Big Sky-best 33 sacks during the season. The Hornets’ average of 3.0 sacks per game was followed by Montana State which averaged 2.6 sacks per contest. Leading the way for the team was Brannon who had 9.5 sacks as part of his 18.0 tackles-for-loss.

To the House

Sacramento State senior Jody Johnson became the first Hornet to return a kickoff for a touchdown in nearly seven years when he dashed 85 yards for a score at Portland State in week two. Johnson actually bobbled the kickoff, then faked a reverse before outrunning the coverage to the end zone. Johnson’s speed was unmatched in the Big Sky as he won the 100 and the 200 at the 2008 Big Sky Track and Field Championships during the spring. He also qualified for the NCAA Div. I Outdoor Championships in both events to become the first athlete in school history to compete in the meet in two events during the same year. The last Hornet to score on a kickoff return prior to Johnson was Lamont Webb who covered 90 yards in the epic 64-61 win over Cal State Northridge on Nov 4, 2000.

Big Sky Boasts

Mulitalo, Brannon, Hickman, Webber, Shelton and Johnson were just six of the 15 players who earned all-Big Sky honors after the season. Mulitalo and Brannon were joined on the first team by defensive tackle Dallas Mauga. The three first team selections were the most for the program since 2000 and marked the highest amount of defensive players honored in school history.

Completing the Package

Sacramento State had 28 football players post gpa’s of at least 3.0 during the spring semester. One of the those players was quarterback/holder Tim Bessolo who wrapped up his master’s degree. Bessolo completed his graduate work with a 3.96 gpa and will now pursue a doctorate at USC beginning in the fall.

Lonie Paxton added a third ring in 2004 with the New England Patriots after winning his first in 2001 and his second in 2003.

John Gesek

Dallas Cowboys/ Washington Redskins

• Paxton is the only Hornet that is currently on an NFL roster. • As a rookie in 2005, Amey began his NFL career by returning a punt 75 yards for a touchdown against the St. Louis Rams. The return marked the first time Amey had touched the ball in a regular season NFL game.

Sacramento State Athletic Hall of Fame On May 15, 2001, Ray Clemons became the first inductee into the Sacramento State Athletics Hall of Fame. The ceremony was held in conjunction with the Images of Excellent Banquet. Clemons served the University for 24 years, including 15 as head football coach. He began his tenure as head coach in 1961. After two losing seasons, he guided the team to a 6-2-1 mark in 1963. He bettered that effort the following season with an 8-2-1 overall record and a berth in the Camelia Bowl. The trademark to Clemons’ teams was his defense. The Hornets recorded a 21-0 shutout in his first game as a head coach and added 16 more shutouts during his career. One of the most memorable outings came in 1963 when the team outdueled Long Beach State, 4-0. Following the end of his coaching career, Clemons became a special assistant to the president and was instrumental in the implementation of River City Days and the Sacramento State Aquatic Center. He then moved back into athletics where he was co-Athletics Director for two years. Clemons passed away in 2005 after a battle with cancer. In his honor, the Aquatic Center created and named a Founders Grove after him in 2006.

HORNET FOOTBALL Hornet Stadium

The Sacramento State football program begins its 16th year of play in renovated Hornet Stadium. The site of the most dramatic facility renovation in the history of Hornet athletics, the stadium underwent a $1 million improvement in preparation for the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in July, 2000. Further improvements were made during the spring of 2004 as the stadium hosted the 2004 U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials. The stadium has also hosted the 2003 2005, 2006 and 2007 NCAA Div. I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Recent additions to Hornet Stadium include a new scoreboard — which is fully functional for both football and track and field — and new public entrances. Both projects were funded by Alex Spanos. Hornet Stadium currently seats 21,195, down from its original 26,000 capacity following the 1992 renovation. The stadium remains one of the largest in the Big Sky Conference. Until 1995, it was one of a small handful of stadiums in the country shared by collegiate programs and professional football organizations. The Sacramento Surge of the World League played there in 1992, and the Sacramento Gold Miners of the Canadian Football League played the 1993 and 1994 seasons in Hornet Stadium before moving to San Antonio in 1995. Following a historic agreement signed December 15, 1991, Sacramento State and Surge owner Fred Anderson entered into a partnership that brought the eventual 1992 World League champions to Hornet Stadium. The renovation project, a key component of that agreement, was one of the most unique ever undertaken on an athletic facility in California. Construction began in early January of 1992. Just 10 weeks later, the 6,000-seat facility was transformed into a magnificent 26,000-seat stadium, featuring dramatic upgrades throughout the venue. The Surge hosted the

Montreal Machine in a preseason game March 14, barely three months after the first shovel pierced dirt in January. Renovations included the increase in seating capacity via temporary bleacher construction; a new press box with seating for over 120 media, game personnel, and VIP guests; complete utility upgrades on the grounds, a new state-of-the-art lighting system suitable for network television broadcasts, and a new scoreboard with message center. Hornet Stadium hosted its first Hornet football game Sept. 5, 1992 against Montana State, the first Division I football opponent ever to play at Sacramento State. In addition to six Surge games in 1992, the stadium hosted a major concert for the first time when Phil Collins played before 20,000 fans in June. Following the dissolution of the World League in 1992, Surge owner Fred Anderson purchased the expansion rights for the first Canadian Football League team on American soil, the Sacramento Gold Miners. The Gold Miners began play in Hornet Stadium in June of 1993 following minor renovations to the facility, including a new playing surface and the removal of end zone seating to accommodate the large CFL field.

BIG SKY CONFERENCE The Big Sky Conference The Big Sky Conference enters its 46th year of athletic competition in 2008-09. The Big Sky is an NCAA Division I member in all sports, with member institutions classified in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA). The conference returned to a nine-school format in 2006 with the addition on Northern Colorado. The current lineup is comprised of Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Portland State, Sacramento State and Weber State. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision. The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington. The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001, giving the Big Sky its current makeup. With the addition of Northern Colorado, the Big Sky spreads across seven states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountain Front. The Big Sky is represented along the entire west coast with schools in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up

92

and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and now Colorado. Of the eight western-most states in the contiguous United States only one, Nevada, is not represented in the Big Sky. On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled The Big Sky. Sky Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State, and Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. The Big Sky sponsors championships in 14 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer. The 2008-09 season will mark the 21st year that the Big Sky Conference will sponsor championships in women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 198288, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women. Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, will enter his 14th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81 while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

Dr. Alexander Gonzalez is the 11th president of California State University, Sacramento – the capital city’s only comprehensive university and one of the largest campuses in the California State University system. Dr. Gonzalez was appointed President of Sacramento State in 2003, bringing new energy and a focused vision to the University. He is overseeing an initiative known as Destination 2010, which is designed to make Sacramento State a premier metropolitan university and a destination campus for the West. Among the priorities are enhancing academic programs and student services; new academic buildings; new on- and near-campus student housing; a faculty and staff village near campus; and a new Recreation and Wellness Center. Before coming to Sacramento, Dr. Gonzalez served from 1997 to 2003 as President of Cal State San Marcos. At San Marcos, he oversaw a period of rapid growth as well as many successful fundraising campaigns. He also spent 18 years at Fresno State, starting as a faculty member in the Psychology Department, which he later chaired. From 1991 to 1997, he served as the university’s Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Dr. Gonzalez is a member of the Board of Trustees at Pomona College. He also serves on the Sutter Health Board of Directors and the Board of Directors for Valley Vision. Dr. Gonzalez previously served on President Bush’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans. His service on a number of

other boards and commissions includes six years as a Commissioner for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the agency that accredits higher education institutions in the western United States. He also served as Chair of the Governing Board of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. His service to the CSU system includes serving on a work group that reviewed and recommended action on remedial education, and, more recently, as a member of a committee of presidents considering policy on enrollment management, the CSU’s Technology Steering Committee, and the Institute for Teaching and Learning. Dr. Gonzalez holds a doctorate and master’s degree in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz. He received his bachelor’s degree in history from Pomona College, where he graduated with honors and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He spent a year at Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow of the Ford Foundation and the National Research Council conducting research on the psychology of time. He also attended Harvard Law School. Dr. Gonzalez and his wife Gloria have been married for more than 35 years. They are the parents of two adult sons.

Dr. Terry Wanless’ five-year tenure as Sacramento State’s Director of Athletics has seen growth unparalleled in the school’s 16-year Division I history. His vision of broad success in the department came to fruition in the 2006-07 academic year where the Hornets claimed an unprecedented eight conference championships. That total included an amazing four titles which came in a four-hour span on May 29. Wanless has also overseen significant facility enhancement to the athletic facilities. The biggest change will come in early 2008 with the opening of the Broad Athletic Facility. The building will serve as the home to the Hornet football and track and field programs as well as athletic training and strength and conditioning. The Broad Athletic Facility is the first step of an elaborate plan that began with the passing of a referendum by the Sacramento State student body. That vote will also lead to the creation of a recreation and wellness center which will benefit the entire student body. Wanless, who is entering his sixth year with the Hornets, has been a visible member of the Sacramento State athletics family, constantly representing the University and department at public outings and speaking engagements. His commitment to the student-athlete has also been clear as both he and his wife, Joanne, attend the majority of Hornet home athletic events and support several teams on the road. His leadership and academic support have been evident to the student-athletes in other ways as well. The department’s Life Skills Program has seen rapid growth, significantly increasing the number of summer and fifth-year scholarships available to Hornet student-athletes. The Life Skills program has also launched the program’s first computer lab and offers Hornet student-athletes tutoring as well as academic counseling. Additionally, Wanless instituted a number of new programs, including the Athletics Director’s Academic Achievement Award – presented to each student-athlete that achieves a term GPA of 3.0 or higher. Those academic efforts have paid early dividends. Over the last five years, Sacramento State student-athletes have posted over 1,300 term GPAs of 3.0 or above. Additionally, over 300 Hornets have earned conference all-academic honors during that same time period. His efforts in restoring the department’s booster club structure as well as aggressively improving the University’s collegiate licensing program, while not readily

visible, are projects that will surely enhance the program’s financial footing in years to come. Athletically, the Hornets have also seen continued growth and success on the field of play. During his five years at Sacramento State, 21 teams and 43 individuals have advanced to conference and NCAA postseason competition. In addition, the 200607 season saw eight sports (volleyball, gymnastics, men’s indoor track and field, women’s tennis, men’s tennis, women’s golf, men’s golf and rowing) win their conference title. Wanless’ efforts to put the Hornets on the map have been instrumental in helping make Sacramento State the unofficial “home of NCAA Championships”. The Hornets have been tabbed to serve as the host institution for 2007 Div. I Volleyball Championships as well as the 2008 Div. I Women’s Golf West Regional. Additionally, Sacramento State has served as host to six NCAA championships (four track, two rowing) as well as the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials for Track and Field during Wanless’ first five years of leadership. Prior to Sacramento State, Wanless served as athletics director at the University of North Dakota from 1990-1999, guiding the program to one of its most successful decades in school history. During that time, North Dakota enjoyed strong competitive success, winning four NCAA national championships and 36 conference titles. Additionally, 25 other teams finished second in their respective conference standings. Before his position at North Dakota, Wanless was director of intercollegiate athletics at Western Carolina for four years and held a variety of positions, including director of intercollegiate athletics, at Towson University in Maryland. Wanless earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Black Hills State, a master’s degree in physical education from Northern Illinois and a doctorate in athletics administration from Temple. He and his wife, Joanne, are the parents of two children. Their daughter, Heather, and her husband, Chad Collins, reside in Lexington, Ky., with their daughter Hadley. Their son Troy, and his wife, Jesi, live in Minneapolis.

The Athletic Compliance Office is responsible for developing, monitoring and enforcing a compliance program that ensures the integrity of the institution within the guidelines of the NCAA, Big Sky Conference and the University. Admission Counselor/NCAA Initial Eligibility Coordinator Josh Collins services Sacramento State student-athletes with admission processing responsibilities and monitoring of NCAA initial-eligibility requirements.

The goal of the athletic training staff is to provide all Sacramento State student-athletes with high quality health care. Headed by full-time certified athletic trainers, the Hornets’ athletic training facility provides stateof-the-art support and the services of highly trained sports medicine and health care professionals. Should an injury occur, student-athletes are seen immediately by their sport’s specific athletic trainer, and are referred, when necessary, to the appropriate medical provider or facility. Sacramento State boasts three training facilities (two located in the physical education complex and one at the Hornet Stadium fieldhouse). All training facilities are equipped with the finest therapeutic modalities and rehabilitative apparatus. A staff of three team physicians (Dr. Alan Hirahara, Dr. Ronald Sockolov, Dr. Harold Strauch) and a skillful and talented athletic training staff tend to the medical and rehabilitative needs of each and every student-athlete. Also assisting in the health of the student-athletes is a Kaiser physician, two dentists, a physical therapist and a chiropractor.
