2009 HORNET FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
SEASON OUTLOOK
Season Outlook Belief. That one word best describes the Sacramento State football team heading into the 2009 season. The Hornets began the process of becoming a Big Sky Conference contender a year ago, matching the second-best victory total in the school’s modern era with six conquests. Third-year head coach Marshall Sperbeck now knows that his team thinks its ready for the next step. “We‘re finally in a position that going into every game, we believe that we can win,” Sperbeck said. “That hasn’t been the feeling here for a long time. “From the coaches to the players, we all believe in what we are doing. A lot of factors can come up during the season and it is up to us to determine how we’re going to perservere through the injuries and setbacks.” Sperbeck has taken the Hornets from 3-8 in 2007 to 6-6 last season. The 2008 campaign was highlighted by road wins at Eastern Washington and UC Davis, and also saw the team go 4-2 at home. The team also had a couple of narrow defeats, including a threepoint loss at Colorado State as time expired. The strengths for 2009 are entirely different from a year ago. The Hornets return starters at every offensive position but have several voids to fill on the defensive side. The schedule will also become much tougher and return to the standard 11 games. For the eighth consecutive year, Sacramento State will meet a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent as the team will meet
4
UNLV to open the year on Sept. 5. The Hornets will also travel to Cal Poly and face the nationally-ranked Mustangs for the first time since 2006. After the eightgame Big Sky slate, Sacramento State will close out the year at home with the 56th-annual Causeway Classic against UC Davis.
QUARTERBACKS
Starters Returning/Lost: 1/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 3/1 Sacramento Sate entered last season with the plan of Jason Smith being the starting quarterback. The Brentwood, Calif., native had started all 11 games as a freshman in 2007 and continued to improve in the offseason. Those plans lasted all of two games as the team began a parade which saw three starters and four players take snaps under center. Three of those four players return for 2009 and the team adds a talented freshman in Dominic Carmazzi giving Sperbeck plenty of options. Smith, who was plagued by several different injuries in 2008, returned in the spring and is back at full strength and starting again. Last season, he threw for 1,824 yards and 16 touchdowns with only six interceptions to earn honorable mention all-Big Sky honors. The year of experience was clearly evident for Smith last season as he improved his efficiency to 135.52 after recording a mark of 103.76 as a freshman. “Jason has the capability and potential to be an
outstanding quarterback,” Sperbeck said. “He made a big jump last season and needs to continue to improve his discipline and decision making.” Fellow junior McLeod Bethel-Thompson will also return at the position. Bethel-Thompson started a pair of games for the team during his first year with the Hornets before a knee injury knocked him out for the year in the fourth game. In limited action, BethelThompson completed 57.1 percent of his passes and also had a pair of touchdowns. John Loeliger is the other returner at the position. Loeliger came to Sacramento State in the spring of 2008 but was then moved to defensive back prior to the start of training camp. However, as the injuries continued to mount during the season, Loeliger returned to the position and saw action at Northern Arizona where he completed his only attempt. The senior also saw considerable playing time in the spring where he showed the ability to move the team. The lone newcomer to the unit is Carmazzi. A native of Sacramento, Carmazzi graduated from Jesuit High School in 2008. Carmazzi did not enroll full-time at Sacramento State until the spring semester, giving the coaching staff the option to redshirt him if needed.
RUNNING BACKS
Starters Returning/Lost: 1/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 3/0 With its top three rushers back on the roster, Sacramento State appears to have one of the best ground attacks in the Big Sky heading into the 2009
2009 HORNET FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
SEASON OUTLOOK RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS
Evander Wilkins Junior Running Back season. The trio of Bryan Hilliard, Evander Wilkins and Jake Croxdale combined for 1,824 yards and 14 touchdowns a year ago with each of the three also recording at least one 100-yard games. The outlook was not so bright in the spring as Hilliard had shoulder surgery which will sideline him for the year and Wilkins underwent a procedure on his knee which kept him out of action until the summer. Hilliard was named second team all-Big Sky and became the first Hornet to rush for over 1,000 yards since All-American Charles Roberts in 2000. In 2008, Hilliard tallied 1,082 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging 108.2 yards per game. Wilkins counters Hilliard’s inside-the-tackles approach by using his speed and elusiveness to get around the edge. In the first four-and-a-half games of the year, Wilkins rushed for 424 yards, including a career high 161 against Southern Oregon. Croxdale served as the team’s short-yardage specialist early on but expanded his role as the season continued. He finished his true freshman season with 347 yards and a score. “Jake is one of the hardest working guys on the team. He was a surprise last season as a walk-on and will battle again this year,” Sperbeck said. “Evander showed what he is capable of before getting hurt. Hopefully, he will be able to use his speed and ability to make people miss.” While Croxdale and Wilkins would have provided a powerful 1-2 punch, the team also added a couple of new pieces to the puzzle which should help ease the loss of Hilliard. The most notable addition is sophomore Terrance Dailey who returns to Northern California after playing his freshman season at Washington. The Vacaville, Calif., native led the Huskies in rushing with 338 yards in just eight games. His best showing came against Oregon State where he tallied 102 yards. “I expect Terrance to come in and compete for the starting job,” explained Sperbeck. “He’s bigger and faster than anyone we’ve had at the position since I’ve been here.” Other newcomers include JC transfer Kenslow Smith and freshman Sam McCowan.
Starters Returning/Lost: 2/2 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 6/4 The biggest hole on offense comes at wide receiver where the Hornets look for a player — or likely players — to match the numbers posted by All-American Tony Washington. Last season, Washington caught a school record 83 passes for 1,279 yards and 12 touchdowns to earn first team all-Big Sky accolades. The team’s leading returner is sophomore Chase Deadder who grabbed 21 passes for 358 yards and one touchdown a year ago. Deadder worked his way into the starting lineup late in the year and most of his production (226 yards) came in the final four games. Juniors Dylan Lane, Brett Willis and Ron Richardson will also return to the squad. The three each started at least one game in 2008 but will be counted on to increase their output in the upcoming season. Lane has caught 43 passes in his two seasons and has been a favorite target of Smith during that span. Willis had nine catches in 2008 after transferring from Colorado State while Richardson caught three passes. Those players will be joined by nine newcomers who will each battle for a spot in the rotation. The most likely to see playing time are a group of three junior college transfers. Brandyn Reed was a JC AllAmerican at Santa Rosa JC in 2008 and was listed as one of the top 50 junior college recruits by a pair of recruiting services. As a sophomore, he caught 61 passes for 1,195 yards and 16 touchdowns. Reed’s teammate at SRJC, Matt Larson, will also become a Hornet in 2009. While Reed is a deepball threat with great size (6-foot-4), Larson makes his living in the middle of the field which should fit nicely in the Hornets’ controlled passing attack. Last season, Larson caught 26 passes for 311 yards and five touchdowns. The final member of the JC trio is John Hendershott. After playing two seasons at Diablo Valley College, Hendershott signed to play at Utah State. However, he left USU during the spring and came to Sacramento State in the summer. Like Reed, Hendershott was a JC
Chase Deadder Sophomore Receiver
All-American in 2008 after tallying 1,150 yards on 65 receptions with 18 touchdowns. “All of the JC guys are good players,” Sperbeck said. “We’re looking to spread the ball around and not be so one dimentional.” One of the more crowded positions is tight end where the Hornets have seven players listed at the spot heading into the season. Returners Brian Heath and Mark Lavey combined to start every game last season. The pair combined for five receptions during the year while spending the majority of their time as additional blockers. However, both were active as receivers during the spring. Redshirt freshman James Bobak and Sacramento City College transfer Jon Krebs also played during spring ball. The foursome will have additional company during the regular season as Butte College product Matt Carter and true freshmen DJ Maciel and Matt Lavender join the fold. “We used the tight end more in the spring and I would like to continue that during the year” Sperbeck said. “The three newcomers should be added athleticism.”
OFFENSIVE LINE
Starters Returning/Lost: 4/1 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 6/3 Sacramento State returns four starters from 2008 and also brings back a fifth player who saw significant playing time during the year. The leader of the unit is senior Matt Lemley who was an honorable mention all-Big Sky selection at guard. The Pittsburg, Calif., native started all but one game a year ago at strongside guard and has now started 22 games during his two seasons with the Hornets. Senior Clint Lessard and sophomore John Taylor each started all 12 games in 2008 and will likely retain their starting role. Lessard, a transfer from Sierra College, played every game at weak-side tackle while Taylor manned the middle of the line at center. Both players were key factors in the team averaging 148.9 rushing yards per game. Seniors Peter Lenz and Pat Walsh split time at guard in their first seasons. Lenz earned five starts at weak-side guard and two at strong-side guard while Walsh started six games at weak-side guard. The lone loss among the starters comes at strongside tackle where the team is forced to find a replacement for all-Big Sky selection Ray Navar. Two of the options to replace Navar at tackle are a pair of converted tight ends. Kevin Galindo redshirted last season and Nate Doverspike played as a true freshman but both switched to the O-line during the spring. The pair will be joined by freshmen David Born (6-8, 330) and Nate Devan (6-6, 290). There are also plenty of youthful options at guard. Vince Weaver and Clay DePauw both redshirted last season and will hope to crack the lineup with a year of experience under their belt. Freshmen Matt Shinn, Chad Tannenbaum, Andrew Gutierrez, Dustin Pfaff, Tyler Worthley and Justin Hill could also contribute. “I think this is the best offensive line we’ve had in my three years,” Sperbeck explained. “The key is going to be keeping them healthy and developing cohesiveness.”

SEASON OUTLOOK LINEBACKERS
Kevin Moore Senior Defensive End DEFENSIVE LINE
Starters Returning/Lost: 4/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 7/1 The biggest difference from a year ago might be on the defensive line. Last season, the Hornets boasted only one returning starter and had plenty of questions heading into the year. The majority of those concerns were answered early on and the front four helped the team limit the opposition to a school Football Championship Subdivision-era record 97.2 rushing yards per game. Junior Christian Clark and sophomore Zack Nash are each coming off all-Big Sky campaigns. Nash recorded 47 total tackles as a defensive end, including 5.5 tackles-for-loss and 3.5 sacks. He was also named the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week during the year for his effort against Humboldt State. Clark was credited with 42 stops in the interior of the line. He recorded at least one tackle in all 12 games and finished the year with 9.0 tackles-for-loss and 5.0 sacks. Clark was also a force on special teams where he blocked three kicks. “Christian and Zack are both players that have the chance to be very disruptive in the Big Sky over the next couple of years,” Sperbeck said. Senior Bill Sherman manned the middle of the line along with Clark. Sherman started 11 contests and recorded 17 total tackles. The duo will likely be assisted by Maika Maumau and Matt Agaiava. Maumau played in the first half of last season before appendicitis cost him the last six games. Agaiava is a JC transfer from Cerritos College. At defensive end, Kevin Moore will play on the opposite side of the line from Clark. Moore tied for second among defensive linemen on the team with 42 total tackles during his first season. The Sierra College product also had 4.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks. Senior Ryan Shinar (15 tackles) and sophomore Marque Willis also return to the line. The pair will be joined by redshirt freshmen Brian McKeon and Reese Heaslet as well as four additional newcomers.
6
Starters Returning/Lost: 1/3 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 4/5 Just like receiver on the offensive side, linebacker is the big question for the defense. The team lost three all-Big Sky selections, including All-Americans Mike Brannon and Cyrus Mulitalo. Those two, along with Mike Hickman, combined for 215 total tackles, 23.5 tackles-for-loss and 11 sacks last season. Mulitalo and Brannon are also two of the most prolific tacklers in school history, ranking second and fifth respectively with 336 and 258 career stops. Although the trio will be hard to replace, Sacramento State showed glimpses of the future last season with Greg Johnson and David Coleman. As a redshirt freshman, Johnson recorded 15 total tackles and also had 3.0 tackles-for-loss, all of which were sacks. The Downey, Calif., native will move to middle linebacker and the sophomore will contend with junior college transfer Jared Pereira and junior Geoff Warner who redshirted last season. One of the more interesting position battles will come at strong-side linebacker where Coleman will contest with converted safety Peter Buck and redshirt freshman Avery White. Coleman, who began his collegiate career as a quarterback, recorded 13 total tackles in 11 games, including one start. He was also disruptive in the passing game, breaking up four passes. Buck started 10 games at safety but after bulking up to 220 pounds, the junior will move to linebacker. Last season, he ranked second on the team with 84 total tackles. He also recorded a pair of interceptions — including one in the end zone to secure the Hornets’ victory over UC Davis in the Causeway Classic. White redshirted last season but has coaches excited about his ability as a pass rusher. Junior college transfer Scott Magnuson will also play on the strong side. Carlo Trinchero is the only returner on the weak side. Trinchero played mostly on special teams last season and ended the year with five tackles. The Napa, Calif., native will compete with true freshmen Cody Allen and Jeff Badger. Both athletes hail from the north coast region of California as Allen prepped at Rohnert Park’s Rancho Cotate High School and Badger hails from Santa Rosa’s Cardinal Newman High School. “Overall, I think we’ve improved our athleticism and have become faster at the position,” Sperbeck said. “We need to give these guys experience on the field so they can learn.”
DEFENSIVE BACKS
Starters Returning/Lost: 1/2 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 3/6 For the second consecutive season, the secondary is fairly wide open heading into training camp. Sophomore Deionte Gordon is the lone returning starter from a year ago and he is shifting positions. After earning all-Big Sky honors as a cornerback, Gordon will move to safety where he will look to showcase his ball-hawking skills. As a true freshman, the Seaside, Calif., native ranked third on the team with 76 total tackles. Gordon led the squad with four interceptions and seven pass breakups and was able to get into the backfield where he had a pair of TFLs and one sack.
The team also has the added benefit of the return of a pair of former starters. Dorian Brown, who started the first two games of 2008 before leaving the team, returns at safety and Durrell Oliver (a starter at corner in 2007) is also back after a one-year hiatus. The pair of veterans will also benefit from transfer Zach Schrader. The safety previously played at Western Washington and was a second team all-Great Northwest Athletic Conference selection a year ago after recording 76 tackles and four interceptions. Schrader’s move to the Hornets became necessary after WWU discontinued football allowing him to move up a division without having to sit out a year. “Deionte is back at his more natural position which allows him to use his range and ball instincts,” Sperbeck said. “Schrader is a very good player and has experience from his time at Western Washington. He also brings leadership to the secondary.” Other contenders for playing time at cornerback include redshirt freshman Jeff Johnson, JC transfer Jay Reddic and freshmen Corey Vanderbeek, Robert Beale and Osagie Odiase. Johnson and Reddic both played extensively during the spring. Sophomore Marquese Smith, who had 30 tackles as a true freshman, will join Gordon in the move from the corner to safety. Smith will have plenty of players to battle with as JC transfers Nate Jones and Anthony Fletcher, sophomore Damone Jackson, redshirt freshman Marquise Jones and true freshman Johnny Feaster are all listed as safeties on the roster.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Starters Returning/Lost: 0/2 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 0/2 For the first time in four years, Sacramento State will be in need of a new kicker. The team will also have the challenge of finding a new punter as Juan Gamboa (K) and Oscar DeAlba (P) both graduated following last season. Gamboa ranks fifth all-time in school history with 203 points and is second with 26 field goals. DeAlba was also very effective last season, averaging 42.4 yards per punt with 17 kicks downed inside the 20-yard line. The lone returner on the team is junior Chris Diniz. A JC transfer from San Joaquin Delta, Diniz redshirted last season and handled the majority of the place kicking duties in the spring. Fellow JC transfer Augie Heath came to the Hornets in January after helping Butte College to a JC national title in 2008. Heath, who is not related to tight end Brian Heath, was both the kicker and punter for the Roadrunners. True freshmen Joe O’Gorman and Connor Derby will also test their wares. O’Gorman is a kicker from Bret Harte High School while Derby punted at Casa Grande High School. The team will also have numerous options in the return game. Ron Richardson and Evander Wilkins each have experience at the position but will be tested by a couple of newcomers. Hendershott earned first team all-conference honors as a returner last season after taking two kicks for touchdowns. McCowan was also dangerous at the prep level where he returned both kicks and punts for touchdowns.

2009 HORNET FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
THIS IS HORNET
FOOTBALL
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Sacramento State football moved into the Eli and Edythe Broad Fieldhouse (top) in the spring of 2008. The building features locker rooms, training weight rooms, coaches offices and meeting spaces. The University will also open brand new dorms this fall and is currently building a 150,000 square foot recreation and wellness center.
Against the Best
Sacramento State competes against some of the best teams in Div. I. Last year, the Hornets opened the season at Colorado State and took the Rams down to the wire before falling, 23-20. Sacramento State has also faced Cal, Oregon State, Boise State (the year it won the Fiesta Bowl), Nevada, Fresno State, New Mexico and UTEP in the last seven years. This year, Sacramento State will continue its tradition by travelling to UNLV for the first time.
The team’s 2009 Football Championship Subdivision opponents feature three playoff squads from a year ago. In fact, the Big Sky Conference has sent two teams to the Div. I FCS playoffs in 19 of the last 20 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 as well as helping feed the homeless.
In the Pros
Fifteen former Hornets have played in an NFL game, including current Denver Bronco and former New England Patriot Lonie Paxton who has won three Super Bowls in his eight years.

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 Director of Strength & Conditioning Terrance Brooks, the strength and conditioning program has the following goals: To be the best physically prepared team each game; To be the best mentally prepared team each game; Prepare for each contest by matching workout tempo to pace of a game, sometimes at no-huddle pace; Emphasis is on ground based exercises: applying maximum amount of force through the ground as fast as possible to move quicker, run faster, jump higher, be stronger, be more explosive; Decrease the chance of injury; To learn to compete under adversity; To be winners on and off the field as a team and individually. To achieve these goals, Brooks has instituted a workout which focuses on flexibility, movement and strength. The flexibility portion works on moving the body through a full range of motion while movement consists of speed, agility, quickness and explosion.

Marshall Sperbeck is entering his third 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. Sperbeck’s transformation of the program began to show in 2008 when the team posted the second most victories in the school’s Div. I-AA/FCS era. Sacramento State also set team records on both sides of the ball and had three players named first team all-Big Sky. The Hornet offense was sparked by wide receiver Tony Washington who set a school record with 83 receptions and was named third team All-America. In all, 12 Sacramento State players earned all-conference accolades, raising the total to 25 during Sperbeck’s tenure. Despite having to start three different quarterbacks during the season due to injury, the Hornets ended the year ranked in the top half of several Big Sky offensive catagories. On the defensive side of the ball, the team was ranked 14th nationally against the run and set the school record by allowing just 97.25 yards per game. 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 all-purpose 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 Sacramento 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. The 2006 success was just the latest in a long run by Sperbeck’s teams. In his 15 years at the helm,
2009 HORNET FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
THE COACHES 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 his transfers to have success are running back Johnnie Gray (Weber State), quarterback Josh Riddel (Mississippi State), wide receiver Schneider Julien (Western Michigan) and linebacker Mike Hickman (Sacramento State).
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT

SPERBECK
“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

THE COACHES Jon Osterhout Defensive Line/Recruiting Coord. | Eighth Year Sacramento State, ‘04 Former Sacramento State All-American Jon Osterhout continues as the team’s defensive line coach. Osterhout, who is in his second tenure on the Hornet coaching staff, returned to the program in March 2008. Osterhout spent the previous two years as a graduate assistant at Nebraska after coaching the Hornets for six seasons. Along with coaching the defensive line, Osterhout took over as the team’s recruiting coordinator in the spring of 2009. This past spring, Sacramento State’s recruiting class was ranked the second best in the Football Championship Subdivision by Rivals.com. In 2008, Osterhout’s impact on the line was directly felt as the team limited the opposition to just 97.2 yards per game. That total was the lowest in the Big Sky, the best in the school’s DIv. I-AA/FCS era, and the second best all-time in Hornet history. The defensive line also proved to be strong against the pass, tallying 31 sacks on the season. Individually, sophomore Christian Clark and freshman Zack Nash each earned honorable mention all-Big Sky honors. 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) each were 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-America 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 players as a senior. He was one of nine players inducted to the school’s football hall of fame in May 2008. A native of Roseville, Calif., Osterhout was a football and baseball star at Oakmont High School. In football, he was a first team all-Capital Athletic League selection and a second team all-Metro pick by the Sacramento Bee as a senior. 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.

Parker was then named a graduate assistant in 2007 and 2008 where he worked with the defensive line and also nickel backs. During his time at BSU, the team posted a 44-8 overall record and advanced to a bowl game each season. The highlight came in 2006 when Boise State finished the year 13-0, including an overtime victory over Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Ironically, the Broncos began that year with a victory over Sacramento State. Prior to joining the Boise State program, Parker was high school coach in the Sacramento area. He was the defensive backs coach and pass-defense coordinator at Del Oro High School in Loomis, Calif., from 2002-04. While at Del Oro, he helped coach the Golden Eagles to a berth in the Sac-Joaquin Section Div. II championship game in 2004. During that season, Del Oro led the Sierra Foothill League in interceptions and also allowed the fewest points. In 2002, Parker coordinated a pass defense which led the Sacramento area with 20 interceptions. Parker also coached at Rocklin High School in 2000 and 2001. While there, he served as the defensive backs coach for a unit which led the league in scoring defense and allowed just 32.9 passing yards per game.

2008 IN REVIEW Aug. 30 • Hornet Stadium • Sacramento, Calif.
HUMBOLDT STATE 13 SACRAMENTO STATE 45 SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Just about everything went right for the Sacramento State football team in its 45-13 season-opening victory over Humboldt State. Evander Wilkins and Bryan Hilliard each rushed for over 100 yards, Jason Smith passed for two touchdowns and ran for another and the defense scored one touchdown. In the process, the team won its first season opener since a 13-6 overtime win over Saint Mary’s in 2001 and scored its most points since posting 47 against Idaho State on Sept. 27, 2003. The Hornets wasted little time getting on the board scoring on their first series of the game. Facing 4th-and 14 from the 20-yard line Sperbeck elected to go for it and Smith found Washington in the center of the end zone for the score. Following a punt, the team road the tandem of Wilkins and Hilliard down to the 2-yard line before Hilliard punched it in with 5:44 remaining in the first quarter. Sacramento State added to its lead on the following series when HSU quarterback Garrett Hubrich threw a backward pass over the head of Joevany Cueva. The ball bounced into the end zone and was recovered by senior Ryan Battle for the touchdown to give the Hornets a 21-0 lead. The defense continued its pressure when Deionte Gordon intercepted Brian Hildebrand at the 26-yard line and returned the ball back to the 10. A penalty against the Lumberjacks gave Sacramento State the ball at the 5-yard line and Smith found Dylan Lane to cap the drive on the first play of the second quarter. Wilkins and Hilliard became the second pair of Hornet backs to each rush for over 100 yards in the team’s last three games. Wilkins carried the ball just 10 times for 103 yards and had 166 all-purpose yards. Hilliard spent most of his night between the tackles with 18 carries for 105 yards.

FT. COLLINS, Colo. — Ben Deline kicked a 20-yard field goal as time expired to end Sacramento State’s upset bid of Colorado State and lift the Rams to a 23-20 victory at Hughes Stadium. The Hornets led or were tied for most of the game. Sacramento State took its final lead (20-17) with 10:03 remaining in the fourth quarter when Tony Washington made an acrobatic catch for a 40-yard touchdown on 3rd-and-22. On the play, Jason Smith lofted the ball to the front cornet of the end zone and Washington reached around the helmet of the defender to make the grab. Colorado State tied the game with a methodical 16-play, 61-yard drive that ate up 8:34 and was capped by a 36-yard field goal from Deline. The ensuing kickoff return brought the ball out to the Hornet 28-yard line. After an incompletion on first down, the team handed the ball off to Evander Wilkins who was immediately met by James Morehead resulting in a fumble that was recovered by Mike Pagnotta with 1:12 to play. Colorado State was able to move the ball down to the 3-yard line before Deline won the game with his third field goal. Smith finished the game 15-of-25 for 205 yards and two touchdowns without and interception. His favorite target was Washington who caught seven passes for 117 yards and a score. The Hornet defense did a strong job against the run, limiting Colorado State to 96 yards on 29 carries. Cyrus Mulitalo led the way with nine stops, including seven solos.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Behind a pair of 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver, the Sacramento State football team racked up 535 yards of total offense and defeated Southern Oregon, 27-16, at Hornet Stadium. Playing without several starters due to injury, the Hornets turned to McLeod Bethel-Thompson to lead the offense. In his first start for Sacramento State, Bethel-Thompson completed 19-of-32 passes for 255 yards and a touchdown. Senior Tony Washington caught a career high nine passes for 159 yards. Sacramento State was also able to get it done on the ground as the team boasted two 100-yard rushers for the second time in the three games. Evander Wilkins amassed 161 yards on 23 carries and also scored his first touchdown on the year. He was joined by Jake Croxdale who pounded out 109 yards on 20 carries. The Hornets never trailed in the contest, staking a 7-0 lead midway through the opening quarter when Bethel-Thompson connected with Ron Richardson for his first career touchdown. Sacramento State extended its lead in the second quarter, scoring a pair of touchdowns in 19 seconds. Bethel-Thompson rushed for the first score and after Christian Clark forced a fumble, Wilkins darted in from nine yards out. Defensively, Peter Buck had eight tackles to lead Sacramento State while Cyrus Mulitalo added seven and Mike Brannon and Christian Clark each had six. Clark also contributed 2.5 tackles-for-loss, including two sacks.

PORTLAND STATE 31 SACRAMENTO STATE 41
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Weber State’s offense put up big numbers but it was the Wildcat defense which preserved a 32-27 win over Sacramento State in the Big Sky opener for both teams. The Wildcats stopped Evander Wilkins on 4th-and-1 at midfield with 2:14 to play to hold on for the win. Sacramento State trailed 32-20 early in the fourth quarter before quarterback Duncan White led the team on a 10-play, 71-yard scoring drive which was capped by a 16-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Lane with 5:31 to play. After the Hornet defense forced Weber State to punt, White began moving the offense up the field with consecutive completions. However, an incompletion on 2nd-and-5 and a 4-yard gain on third down led to the stop of Wilkins on a rush up the middle. Weber State was balanced throughout the game as the team compiled 513 yards of total offense. Quarterback Cameron Higgins competed 21-of-33 passes for 380 yards and four touchdowns while running back Trevyn Smith rushed for 123 yards on 24 carries. After trailing for most of the game, Sacramento State drew even (20-20) when Jake Croxdale scored on a 2-yard run with 2:20 left in the third quarter. However, WSU answered with a pair of touchdowns in the next seven minutes to retake control. White was inserted into the lineup after McLeod Bethel-Thompson suffered a left knee injury on the second play of the fourth quarter. White responded by completing 9-of-15 passes for 114 yards and throwing his first career touchdown pass. Bethel-Thompson, who was starting in place of the injured Jason Smith, was 8-of-15 for 152 yards and a TD. Juan Gamboa tied his career long with a 48-yard field goal in the second quarter.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Bryan Hilliard rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns, Jason Smith threw for 307 yards and two scores and Tony Washington had nine receptions for 158 yards and a TD to lead Sacramento State to a 41-31 win over Portland State. The Hornets entered the game with only three turnovers on the season but fumbles on two straight first quarter possessions led to a 14-0 PSU lead. Daniel Wolverton scored the game’s first points on an 8yard reception and Bobby McClintock ran in from six yards out a little over two minutes later to take a commanding lead. However, the advantage all but disappeared by the end of the first quarter as Sacramento State countered with a 1-yard sneak from Smith and a 30-yard TD pass to Evander Wilkins. The Hornets took their first lead of the game with 9:12 remaining in the second quarter when Deionte Gordon gathered in a deflected pass at the NAU 15yard line then weaved his way into the end zone for his first career touchdown. After the Vikings cut the lead to 34-31 with a 30-yard field goal from Danny Urrego, Sacramento State rode Hilliard down the field for the insurance score. The Hornets drove 79 yards in 5:19 with Hilliard accounting for 69 of the yards. The trio of Smith, Hilliard and Washington became the first group of Hornets to pass for 300 yards, rush for 100 and receive for 100 since Ryan Leadingham (366 pass), Tyronne Gross (240 rush) and Fred Amey (180 receiving) did it against Idaho State on Sept. 27, 2003.

Oct. 4 • Walkup Skydome • Flagstaff, Ariz.
SACRAMENTO STATE 10 NORTHERN ARIZONA 42 FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — In 2007, Sacramento State handed Northern Arizona a 38-9 loss at Hornet Stadium. Just over a year later, the 24th-ranked Lumberjacks repaid the favor with a 42-10 victory over the Hornets at the J.L Walkup Skydome. The Lumberjacks were led by quarterback Lance Kriesien who threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for another. The team also received another solid effort from its defense — which entered the game leading the Football Championship Subdivision allowing just 9.0 rushing yards per game — by holding the Hornets to 21 rushing yards. Sacramento State scored the game’s opening points when Duncan White connected with Tony Washington for a 53-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline on a third down play on the opening drive. From that point, NAU scored the next 25 points of the contest. Juan Gamboa snapped the NAU run with a 45-yard field goal with 9:01 remaining to make the score 25-10. However, momentum quickly swung back to Northern Arizona when Kriesien connected with tight end Brian Riley for a 56-yard score. White finished the game 15-for-31 for 253 yards before giving way to John Loeliger in the fourth quarter. Washington was the team’s leading receiver with six grabs for 117 yards. Jake Croxdale was the team’s leading rusher with 54 yards. SCORE BY QUARTERS Sacramento State (3-3, 1-2) Northern Arizona (4-1, 2-0)

2008 IN REVIEW Oct. 18 • Washington-Grizzly • Missoula, Mont.
SACRAMENTO STATE 7 MONTANA 43 MISSOULA, Mont. — Montana quarterback Cole Bergquist was nearly perfect while leading the #8 Grizzlies to a 43-7 win over Sacramento State at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Bergquist was 17-of-19 for 290 yards and four touchdowns before exiting the game in the fourth quarter. The senior also added a teamhigh 39 rushing yards, including a 14-yard touchdown in which he broke three tackles before finding the end zone. After both teams struggled to get things going early on, Montana posted the only points of the first quarter with a 24-yard pass from Bergquist to Marc Mariani. The lead moved to 14-0 early in the second quarter with a 2-yard run from Andrew Schmidt and then to 16-0 on a safety. Mike Ferriter scored the first of his two TDs with 5:19 to play in the first half, gathering in a 31-yard pass to give UM a 23-0 advantage. Sacramento State’s lone points of the game came on its next drive. The 82-yard drive was capped with a 19-yard touchdown grab by Kyle Hill from Jason Smith with 2:51 showing in the second. However, Montana matched the score on Bergquist’s run exactly two minutes later. Mariani and Ferriter each added a second touchdown in the third quarter to end the game’s scoring. One of the bright spots for the Hornets was Tony Washington who caught a career high 12 passes for 130 yards.

Oct. 25 • Hornet Stadium • Sacramento, Calif.
MONTANA STATE 31 SACRAMENTO STATE 21 SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento State football team proved unable to overcome another early deficit in a 31-20 loss to Montana State. The Hornets trailed 17-0 at halftime and eventually fell behind 31-7 before rallying for two fourth-quarter scores. Neither team produced offensive fireworks as MSU out gained Sacramento State, 313-303. However, the Bobcats took advantage of three Hornet turnovers and also blocked a punt for a touchdown. Trailing 17-0, Sacramento State started the second half in exciting fashion. After Montana State drove to the Hornet 32-yard line, Cyrus Mulitalo intercepted Kempt and returned the ball 53 yards to set up a 1-yard touchdown from Bryan Hilliard. Montana State, however, answered back with a special teams play for a score. With Oscar De Alba punting from the goal line, DeAndre Green came untouched and was able to block the kick into the end zone where Kevin Retoriano picked it up for the touchdown. MSU scored its final points on the opening drive of the fourth quarter when Kempt connected with Green for an 18-yard TD. Hilliard scored his second touchdown of the day on the ensuing drive but the team’s pass attempt on a two-point conversion failed. Smith later found Tony Washington for a 27-yard touchdown with less than a minute to play. Individually, Smith finished the day 21-of-41 for 212 yards and a touchdown. However, the sophomore was intercepted a season high two times and was sacked five times. Hilliard rushed for 96 yards for the second consecutive week and scored two touchdowns. Washington added eight receptions for 78 yards and a score. Defensively, sophomore Peter Buck and freshman Deionte Gordon each had 11 tackles to lead the Hornets. Linebackers Mike Brannon and Cyrus Mulitalo contributed nine and eight stops, respectively. SCORE BY QUARTERS Montana State (4-4, 2-2) Sacramento State (3-5, 1-4)

Nov. 1 • Woodward Field • Cheney, Wash.
SACRAMENTO STATE 15 EASTERN WASH. 13 CHENEY, Wash. — There’s no place like Woodward Field for the Sacramento State football team as the Hornets recorded their fourth win all-time at Eastern Washington’s home field with a 15-13 win. Sacramento State used a balanced offensive attack which featured 211 yards passing from Jason Smith, 114 receiving yards from Tony Washington and a combined 155 rushing yards from Jake Croxdale and Bryan Hilliard. The Hornet defense also did its part, sacking EWU quarterback Matt Nichols five times, holding the Eagles to minus-31 rushing yards and intercepting two passes. Sacramento State took its opening drive of the game down the field for a 13-play, 80-yard drive which ended with a 2-yard TD from Hilliard. However, the PAT was blocked starting a long kicking day for the Hornet. The Eagles took their first lead of the game with 4:07 to play in the opening half when Toke Kefu scored from 1-yard out. After Eastern intercepted Duncan White (who was on in place of a shaken up Jason Smith), the Eagles drove to the 7-yard line only to have Deionte Gordon make a diving interception in the end zone in the closing seconds of the half to make the score 7-6 at the break. The third quarter belonged to the Hornets who held the ball for 9:06 of the period and gained 107 yards compared to EWU’s 25. Washington scored on a 12-yard pass from Smith with 8:08 to play. The team then moved the ball inside the 10-yard line during the final series of the quarter setting up a 23-yard field goal from Juan Gamboa which sailed through the uprights 16 seconds into the fourth quarter. Eastern cut its deficit to 15-13 with a 15-yard pass to Brynsen Brown, but the two-point conversion attempt was picked off by Peter Buck in the end zone to preserve the Hornets’ lead. Sacramento State was able to drain the clock down to 2:11 before punting to the Eagles who had one timeout remaining. After moving the ball to the 40-yard line, Nichols was intercepted by Robert Virgil to seal the game. Smith finished the day 18-of-27 for 211 yards and a touchdown while Washington caught 10 balls for 114 yards and a TD. Defensively, Peter Buck finished with a team-high eight tackles.

SACRAMENTO STATE 29 UC DAVIS 19 DAVIS, Calif. — Jason Smith connected with Tony Washington for three touchdowns and a stingy Hornet defense stopped UC Davis on fourth down on four separate occasions as Sacramento State knocked off the Aggies, 29-19, in the 55th-annual Causeway Classic. Sacramento State, which jumped out to a 15-0 lead and never trailed in the game, snapped an eight-game losing streak against UC Davis that dated back to 2000. The Hornets also defeated the Aggies in Davis for the first time since 1996. Sacramento State’s defense came up with big play after big play, forcing three UC Davis turnovers, including an interception by Peter Buck in the end zone with 59 seconds left to ice the game. The Hornets’ defense also stopped UC Davis on downs once in the first quarter, twice in the second quarter and once more in the third. Sacramento State received the opening kickoff and marched 72 yards in six plays that was culminated by a 29-yard touchdown pass to Washington. On the ensuing extra point try, Kyle Hill bobbled the snap, got up and scampered into the end zone for a two-point conversion to give the Hornets an 8-0 lead just 3:03 into the contest. UC Davis then drove the ball to the Hornets’ 35-yard line before being stopped on fourth down. Sacramento State responded with a 35-yard touchdown pass to Washington, which capped off a six-play, 65-yard drive and gave the Hornets a 15-0 lead. The Aggies scored touchdowns on their next two possessions to close within, 15-13, but UC Davis’ two-point conversion try after the second touchdown failed. Sacramento State answered with a third touchdown in the opening half and took a 22-13 lead into the break. The Hornets’ momentum continued to start the second half. After kicking off to UC Davis, the defense forced a fumble on the Aggies’ first offensive play. The offense then drove 28 yards for a touchdown as Smith found Washington for the third time in the game to make the score 29-13. Washington became just the sixth player in school history to grab three touchdown passes in the same game. SCORE BY QUARTERS Sacramento State (5-5) UC Davis (5-5)

Nov. 22 • Pocatello, Idaho • Holt Arena
SACRAMENTO STATE 33 IDAHO STATE 36 POCATELLO, Idaho — Kenyon Blue scored a touchdown on Idaho State’s first possession of overtime to lead the Bengals to a 36-33 win over Sacramento State. The loss spoiled an amazing day from Bryan Hilliard who rushed for a career high 271 yards and four TDs. Sacramento State trailed for most of the game but Hilliard scored his fourth touchdown of the game 51 seconds left and Jason Smith found Tony Washington for a two-point conversion to give the Hornets a 30-27 lead. However, Blue returned the ensuing kickoff from 8-yards deep in the end zone and was not brought down until the 43-yard line. ISU used six plays to set up a 42-yard field goal from Mike Ramos to send the contest into overtime. Once there, Sacramento State took the ball first but settled for a 22yard field goal from Juan Gamboa. After the score, Blue had rushes of 1 and 8 before scoring from 16-yards out around right end. Hilliard’s 271 rushing yards ranks third in school history and made him the first Hornet to rush for over 1,000 yards since Charles Roberts in 2000. Hilliard finished the year with 1,082 yards. His single-game effort only trails Roberts’ 409-yard effort against ISU in 1999 and his 277-yard output against Montana State that same season. Senior Tony Washington also put his name in the record book becoming the school’s single-season receptions and receiving yards leader. Washington had seven catches for 84 yards and ends the year with 83 grabs for 1,279 yards. SCORE BY QUARTERS Sacramento State (6-6, 3-5) Idaho State (1-11, 1-7)

Scott Towne (above) and Lamont Webb (top right) are tied with Carlos Smith and Sheridon Mitchell with a pair of 100-yard games. Strangely, neither Towne or Webb began their Hornet career as rececivers. Webb was a running back and Towne a quarterback as freshmen.

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.

FCS ERA ALL-AMERICANS CHARLES ROBERTS
1998 - AFCA (1st), Associated Press (2nd), The Sports Network (2nd), CBS Sportsline Running Back of the Year 1999 - AP (1st), The Sports Network (1st), Teamlink (1st), Big Sky Offensive MVP The most decorated player in Sacramento State’s Div. I era, Charles Roberts burst onto the national scene during the 1998 season. After rushing for 587 yards as a freshman, Roberts set the then-NCAA Div. I-AA record with 2,260 rushing yards as a sophomore. That season, he carried the ball 386 times, which also set the school mark, and scored 19 touchdowns. He did not disappoint as junior, tallying 2,082 yards on 303 carries and rushing for a school record 22 touchdowns. Roberts ended his collegiate career with 1,624 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior. When he left Sacramento State, he held the Div. I-AA records for career carries (1,124), career yards (6,553), single season yards, single-game yards (409) and 200-yard games (13). Following his collegiate career, Roberts played eight seasons in the Canadian Football League. During that span, he rushed for 10,285 yards and 70 touchdowns. He was just the fifth player in CFL history to surpass 10,000 career yards and twice led the league in rushing. Roberts was a six-time CFL All-Star and was also named to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ all-time team. He played his first seven seasons with the Blue Bombers before concluding his career with the B.C. Lions.
RYLAND WICKMAN 1998 - Associated Press (3rd)
The all-time tackles leader in Sacramento State history, Wickman ended his four-year career with 435 stops. The linebacker was the first Hornet to be named to the all-Big Sky Conference team, earning second team honors in 1996. As a junior, he set the school record with 154 tackles, including 16.0 for loss. As a senior, he was a first team all-Big Sky selection with 106 total tackles. Along with holding the career and single season tackle marks, Wickman also holds the top spot for career unassisted tackles (202) and forced fumbles (9).

He currently serves as Sacramento State’s defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator.
CHRIS KELLY 1999 - Teamlink (2nd)
In just two years, Chris Kelly became one of the top tight ends in Div. I-AA. Kelly was a first team all-Big Sky selection following both of his seasons.

His total of six over 10 games ties him for the fifth most in school history. Webber is also one of only five Hornets to be named all-Big Sky four times.
CYRUS MULITALO 2006 - Football Gazette (HM) 2007 & 2008 - The Sports Network (HM)
The only Hornet to be named All-America in three different seasons, Mulitalo left Sacramento State in 2008 ranked second in school history with 336 career tackles. As a sophomore, he led the Big Sky with 10.9 tackles per game (120 total) and was named honorable mention All-America and all-West Region. Mulitalo added 98 tackles in 2007 and 96 more in 2008. Along with being honored by The Sports Network following both of those years, he was also a first team all-Big Sky selection.
MIKE BRANNON 2007 - The Sports Network (HM)
A two-time first team all-Big Sky honoree and four-time all-Big Sky selection, Brannon is the Hornets’ all-time leader in tackles-for-loss with 52.5 and sacks (27.5). The local product from Cordova High School began his career at defensive end before moving to linebacker prior to his junior season. That year, Brannon set career bests for total tackles (81), tackles-for-loss (18.0) and sacks (9.5) to earn All-America honors. As a senior, he continued to be one of the most disruptive players in the Big Sky with 12.5 TFLs, including 9.0 sacks.
TONY WASHINGTON 2008 - The Sports Network (3rd)
After catching 29 passes for 414 yards and three touchdowns as a junior, Washington had one of the most productive seasons as a receiver in school history. The senior set the school record with 83 receptions and 1,279 yards to earn first team all-Big Sky honors and third team All-America recognition. Washington also had 12 touchdowns during the year to rank second in school history. He had at least 100 receiving yards in six games and caught a touchdown in nine of the 11 contests. Three of those scores came in the team’s 29-19 win over UC Davis.

HORNET STADIUM
The Sacramento State football program begins its 17th 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
100
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.

2009 HORNET FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
BIG SKY CONFERENCE The Big Sky Conference enters its 47th year of athletic competition in 2009-10. 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
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. 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 2009-10 season will mark the 22nd 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 15th 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.

Quick Facts • Sacramento State is the seventh largest university in the 23-campus CSU system, enrolling a multicultural student body of more than 29,000. The 300-acre campus is sheltered by more than 3,000 trees and dotted with flower gardens, including 3 million square feet of building space. Miles of trails stretch along the nearby river parkway, linking the University and student housing with recreational areas such as Folsom Lake and Old Sacramento. • Quality teaching is a top priority, and classes are small and personalized. More than 80 percent of recent graduates say their professors were enthusiastic and genuinely enjoyed teaching. • Preparing students for a career is a vital part of the education here. Thousands of students from all majors earn academic credit working in internship and co-op positions, many of which are paid. • Sacramento State, often called “Sac State,” was founded as Sacramento State College in 1947 during a time of intense demand for higher education after World War II. We moved to our permanent location on the banks of the historic American River in 1953. In 1972, we were renamed California State University, Sacramento. • The University is in the midst of an ambitious new master plan that will remake Sacramento State into a residential campus and add some 1.5 million square feet of building space. The plan, to guide campus growth in coming decades, includes additional housing, and a recreation and wellness center. • Unlimited bus and light rail service throughout Sacramento is free for University students. Students may attend all home athletic events for free and attend other campus events for free or at a discount. More than half the students join one of the more than 200 student organizations, which include 35 fraternities and sororities.

• Sacramento State offers 60 undergraduate and 40 graduate degrees in eight Colleges. Teacher education is the largest academic program, followed by business, criminal justice, communication studies, psychology and computer science. The student-to-faculty ratio is 20 to 1; more than 70 percent of classes have fewer than 30 students. • Attracting students from all over the world, the criminal justice program is one of the largest in the United States. • One in 26 residents of the six-county Sacramento Region is a Sacramento State graduate. The University directly and indirectly contributes more than $900 million to the region’s economy annually. • Almost 700 new school teachers graduate from Sacramento State each year. • Seventy-eight percent of students say that Sacramento State was their first or only choice. • Sacramento State was the site of the 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 NCAA Div. I Track & Field Championships, and the Sacramento State Aquatic Center was the site of the 1997, 1999, 2004, 2005 and 2008 NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships. In addition, Sacramento State was host of the 2007 NCAA Div. I Women’s Volleyball Final Four at Arco Arena. • Sacramento State hosted the most successful U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials ever in 2000, and hosted the event again in 2004. • Famous Sacramento State alumni include actor Tom Hanks, Grammy award winner Bobby McFerrin, former cohost of Good Morning America Joan Lunden, former host of the Early Show, Rene Syler, stand-up comedian Brian Posehn, actor Carlos Alazraqui, film director Joe Carnahan, former Stockton mayor Edward Chavez, famous economist and author Richard J.

Partnering With Athletics For Excellence When the Sacramento State student body overwhelmingly passed a referendum in the spring of 1995, it began a partnership between the Hornet Athletics Department and Associated Students, Inc. That vote by the students helps fund the athletics department and has been a key factor in the recent success. ASI is a student-run, non-profit corporation that represents the student body in the governance of the University. One of ASI’s goals is to facilitate student participation in a full range of campus life and learning outside the classroom. Guided by this goal, ASI supports intercollegiate, recreational, and intramural sports, which is not only an important part of campus life, but an arena in which leadership skills are developed. ASI also operates the Green Sting student organization, the Sacramento State Aquatic Center (which is home to the Hornet rowing team), the Challenge Center, Peak Adventures and numerous other student organizations.

Dr. Alexander Gonzalez has served more than three decades as a professor and education leader, including serving as president of California State University, Sacramento, since 2003. As the first person in his family to graduate from college, Dr. Gonzalez has devoted his career to ensuring greater opportunities for students. He grew up in East Los Angeles with six siblings, graduating from high school at a time when students did not have the same options for higher education that they have today. Dr. Gonzalez enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at age 17, served four years and then used the G.I. Bill to graduate from Pomona College in Claremont, Calif. He graduated with honors and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He later earned a master’s in psychology and doctorate from the University of California, Santa Cruz, before serving as a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University. His experience includes six years as president of California State University, San Marcos, and 18 years at Fresno State, where he was a faculty member and chair of the Psychology Department before becoming the university’s provost and vice president for academic affairs. At Sacramento State, Dr. Gonzalez implemented his Destination 2010 initiative to transform the campus into a premier metropolitan university. The bold initiative seeks to make Sacramento State a campus of choice for students in the Sacramento region and beyond.
Following his belief that universities and communities must work together to improve lives and opportunities, Dr. Gonzalez serves on the Sutter Health Board of Directors and the Pomona College Board of Trustees. He previously served on the President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans and the Valley Vision Board of Directors. His service on several boards and commissions includes six years as a commissioner for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the accrediting agency for 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 commitment to the California State University system includes serving on a work group that reviewed and recommended corrective 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 is Sacramento State’s 11th president. His wife, Gloria, is also a graduate of the CSU. They have two sons.
Dr. Terry Wanless’ seven-year tenure as Sacramento State’s Director of Athletics has seen growth unparalleled in the school’s 18-year Division I history. His vision of broad success in the department has come to fruition over the last three years where the Hornets have combined to win 21 conference championships. That includes an unprecedented eight conference titles during both the 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic years. In addition, the program has claimed back-to-back Big Sky Conference Women’s All-Sports Trophies. In fact, of the 330 Div. I athletics programs, SI.com ranked Sacramento State as the 36th best athletics program during the 2007-08 academic year. The 2008-09 West Region Athletic Director of the Year for the Football Championship Subdivision, Wanless has overseen significant facility enhancement to the athletic facilities. The biggest change came during the spring of 2008 with the opening of the Broad Fieldhouse, which serves as the home to Hornet football and track and field, as well as athletic training and strength and conditioning. The Eli and Edythe Broad Fieldhouse 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 and is expected to open in the fall of 2010. Wanless has served on numerous NCAA committees, and just completed a term as a member of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision selection committee and the Div. I Football Issues Committee. Previously, he was a member of the NCAA Football rules committee and the NCAA Peer Review committee. Wanless 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.
Over the last seven years, Sacramento State student-athletes have posted nearly 2,000 term GPAs of 3.0 or above, and close to 500 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 seven years at Sacramento State, 22 teams and 125 individuals have advanced to NCAA postseason competition. Wanless’ efforts to put the Hornets on the map have been instrumental in helping make Sacramento State the unofficial “home of NCAA Championships”. During his seven years of leadership, Sacramento State has served as host to seven NCAA championships (four track, two rowing, one volleyball) as well as the 2004 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials. 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 conferences. 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 and son Jack. Their son Troy, and his wife, Jesi, live in Minneapolis with their daughter Elli.
