HEAD COACH 14 TH S EASON 2003 E DDIE R OBINSON C OACH OF THE Y EAR AWARD F INALIST Entering his 14th year as head coach of the Northern Arizona football program, Jerome Souers, the dean of the Big Sky Conference coaches, has taken the Lumberjack program to new milestones. Under Souers, NAU made a recordbreaking NCAA I-AA Quarterfinal appearance in 2003, won the first Big Sky Conference title since 1978, recorded two playoff berths and posted eight winning seasons. During his 13-year tenure, Souers has coached 111 student-athletes to all-conference honors a combined 181 times with 41 first-team selections and 38 AllAmericans accolades. Souers, who was named the 1999 Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year, also has the Lumberjacks posting impressive results in the classroom. The football program has produced the Golden Eagle Scholar Athlete of the Year six times (Blair Boynton, Eric Damko, Steve Gomez, Mark Gould, Paul Ernster and Jeff Wheeler) and had 11 student-athletes named to the 2010 Big Sky Fall All-Academic team. Overall, 61 student-athletes have earned 108 Big Sky academic honors over the last 13 seasons. There have also been five Academic AllAmericans, as well. Souers has increased the program's Academic Progress Rate, a real-time measure of eligibility, retention and graduation
12
of student-athletes, in each of the last five academic years (872 to 953) and had the highest multi-year rate in the Big Sky Conference in 2011, earning the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Athletics Directors Association APR Award. The award is given to the highest APR score in each of the 14 FCS conferences. But there is still work ahead. Souers, who has coached a national champion, strives everyday to get his Lumberjack program in position to play for the title not just a playoff appearance or high ranking. And the 2003 season was his best effort to date, earning him finalist honors for the 2003 Eddie Robinson Award, an award presented by The Sports Network to the top head coach in I-AA football. Behind the play of true freshman Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year Jason Murrietta, the Lumberjacks upset top-seeded McNeese State on the road and played host to the first home playoff game since 1996 with a quarterfinal appearance against Florida Atlantic. NAU finished ranked 10th in the national polls as Souers' players were honored on and off the field for their performances. Eighteen players were recognized with All-Big Sky honors highlighted by first-team All-America accolades for punter Mark Gould, who was recognized by five different organizations. Gould led the accolades off the field, too. He was a CoSIDA Academic All-America selection for the second consecutive season as NAU led the nation with five CoSIDA

In 2006, Murrietta led a reemergence that produced significant improvements in the offensive production, resulting in a winning season with six wins and ranking among the top turnarounds in the country. Murrietta had a stellar senior season highlighted by a runner-up finish for the Walter Payton Award, All-America honors and his second Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Year award. He threw for 2,827 yards with a 65.0 completion percentage and a school-record 34 touchdowns,
leading the Big Sky in passing efficiency (168.2) and total offense (243.1), while ranking fifth and 11th nationally. Souers arrived in Flagstaff after spending 12 years at Montana with a proven track record. His last eight seasons in Missoula he served as defensive coordinator. During his stay with the Grizzlies, Montana was transformed from a Big Sky also-ran into a perennial league and national title contender. Souers' tenure in Missoula produced 12 straight winning
seasons, seven playoff berths, four appearances in the national semifinals, a national runner-up finish (1996) and a national title (1995). Montana won three Big Sky titles during that span. Souers showed his winning touch from the start in January 1998 when he took over a program in limbo, becoming the first NAU coach since Dwain Painter in 1979 to begin his career with a winning record. Despite dressing only 44 players for his first spring practice, including walk-ons, Souers led the Lumberjacks to a winning season. Highlights from Souers' first season at NAU included the Lumberjacks' first shutout of a Division I opponent (NAU 9, Cal Poly 0) in 31 games, two near road victories against league title contenders Eastern Washington and Montana State and a season-ending two-game winning streak. In 2001, the Lumberjacks posted one of the nation's most improved records, recording an 8-4 mark to tie for second place in the Big Sky Conference. NAU earned a berth in the I-AA playoffs for the second time in school history before dropping a 34-31 decision at Sam Houston State in the first round. The success of the NAU football team in 2001 was evident in the accolades bestowed on the program. Fifteen studentathletes were recognized with All-Big Sky

In 1984 he made his foray into the collegiate ranks, joining the staff at Western Washington where he coordinated the defense and coached the defensive backs. A year later, Souers joined Don Read's staff at then-Division II Portland State. After one year serving as the Viking's running backs coach, Souers followed Read to Montana. With Souers coaching the secondary,
the new staff in Missoula produced records of 6-4 and 6-5 during its first two years. A hint of things to come came in 1988 when the Grizzlies went 8-4 and led the Big Sky Conference in all defensive categories. In 1989, Souers added defensive coordinator to his duties and the Grizzlies posted an 11-2 record with an appearance in the national semifinals. Montana also tied a national interception record in one game

with 10 picks vs. Boise State. A year later, the Grizzlies opened the 1990 campaign with a 22-15 road win at Oregon State. During Souers' nine years as defensive coordinator at Montana, the Grizzlies twice ranked among the nation's top-10 in rushing defense, finishing third in the country in that category in 1992. His last unit in Missoula led the Big Sky Conference in scoring defense. The peak years during Souers' stay at Montana came from 1993 to 1996. During that period, the Grizzlies made four straight playoff appearances, played in three semifinals and two national title games. The 1995 squad won the national title and the 1996 team was the NCAA runner-up. The four-year record for Montana during that time was 48-8. During the national title run, Souers' defense became the first in NCAA history to post consecutive playoff shutouts (Eastern Kentucky and Georgia Southern). He coached six All-America defensive backs at Montana, including future NFL stars Tim Hauck of the Seattle Seahawks and Blaine McElmurry of the Green Bay Packers. In 1996, when head coach Mick Dennehy was sidelined after undergoing major surgery, Souers stepped in as head coach and led the Grizzlies to victories over Cal State Northridge and Portland State. Souers and his wife, Paula, have two daughters, Anna (22) and Alaina (20).

The Big Sky Conference enters its 49th year of athletic competition in 2011-12. The Big Sky is an NCAA Division I member in all sports, with member institutions classified in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA). For the sixth and final year, the Big Sky is a nine-team league. The current lineup includes Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Portland State, Sacramento State and Weber State. Northern Colorado is the newest member of the league, having joined the conference in 2006. The Big Sky will expand to an 11-team league with 13 football-playing members on July 1, 2012. Southern Utah University and the University of North Dakota will join as full members. Cal Poly and UC Davis will join as football-affiliate members. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, including Eastern Washington in 2010. A Big Sky team has played for the national championship each of the past three seasons. The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Sports Network Preseason FCS Poll Team (First-place votes) Record Points 1.

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. The Big Sky spreads across eight 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 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. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., the legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a "Welcome to Big Sky Country" sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought "Big Sky" would be a perfect name for the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane SpokesmanReview 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 Big Sky will add a softball championship in the spring of 2013.

True freshman running back Zach Bauman, a Chandler Hamilton product, had 167 yards and four touchdowns in his collegiate debut to help Northern Arizona post a 48-0 victory over Western New Mexico in front of 7,142 fans at the Walkup Skydome. NAU won its 17th consecutive home opener in impressive fashion behind the running of Bauman, who recorded 167 yards on 22 carries for a 7.6 per carry average. He scored on runs of 10, 1, 2 and 66 yards to record the best debut by a freshman under Head Coach Jerome Souers in his 13-season tenure. Senior quarterback Michael Herrick had a solid debut, going 15-for-25 for 178 yards and two touchdowns. The Lumberjacks scored on its opening two drives of the game to jump out to a 14-0 advantage early in the contest. Bauman scored his first collegiate touchdown with a 10-yard run to cap a 73-yard opening drive. After a three-and-out by the Mustangs, NAU went 71 yards on four plays, scoring on a 28-yard pass from Herrick to senior wideout Daiveun Curry-Chapman.
In a game not decided until the fourth quarter, the Northern Arizona football team was defeated by Arizona State 41-20 at Sun Devil Stadium in front of 49,043 fans. The Lumberjacks played tough, pulling within a touchdown at 27-20 when quarterback Michael Herrick hit Khalil Paden for a 35-yard score with 21 seconds left in the third quarter. But the Sun Devils added two scores in the decisive final quarter to seal the victory over their in-state rivals from the north. ASU quarterback Steven Threet completed 33-for-49 for 391 yards and three touchdowns to lead the ASU offense. The Sun Devils were held to just 56 yards on the ground on 29 carries on the night. Junior Austin Shanks tied for game-high honors with eight receptions for 66 yards for the Lumberjacks and added a 34-yard pass to Chasen Stangel in the second quarter.

2010 GAME RECAPS NORTHERN ARIZONA 32, IDHAO STATE 7 GAME 3 - SEPT. 25, 2010 - POCATELLO, IDAHO HOLT ARENA (6,626)
NORTHERN ARIZONA 26, SOUTHERN UTAH 23 GAME 4 - OCT. 2, 2010 - CEDAR CITY, UTAH ECCLES COLISEUM (7,111)
The Northern Arizona football team opened Big Sky Conference play in impressive fashion with a 32-7 victory over Idaho State, spoiling the Homecoming for the Bengals. The Lumberjacks won for the sixth consecutive time in the series against Idaho State. The Lumberjack defense had big plays all afternoon, including a quarterback sack for a safety and an interception by Taylor Julio stopping a Bengal drive deep in NAU territory in the third quarter. NAU held the Bengals to just 37 yards rushing and 151 total yards of offense. Senior Matt Estrada sealed the game in the third quarter with a fumble recovery on a punt deep inside ISU territory, setting up a score that pushed the lead to 29-0 late in the quarter. Quarterback Michael Herrick had a solid afternoon, completing 21for-36 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns. He completed passes to eight different receivers on the day led by Daiveun Curry-Chapman, who had six receptions for 65 yards. Freshman Zach Bauman led the rushing attack with 112 yards on 21 carries with a touchdown.
After the last two games in the series were decided in the final minutes, it was no surprise when Southern Utah drove to within field goal range to tie the game in the final two minutes. But the Northern Arizona defense stopped the drive to preserve the 26-23 victory at Eccles Coliseum. NAU trailed for most of the game and was down 2319 with 6:46 left when quarterback Michael Herrick took over on the final drive. Freshman Zach Bauman converted an early third down in the possession with 7-yard run and Herrick went 5-for-5, including a 32-yard completion to Austin Shanks that put the Lumberjacks in the red zone. Herrick then hit Bauman on a 15-yard scoring play for the winning play with 3:07 left. SUU got the ball back on the 22-yard line and had no trouble moving early as Brad Sorenson completed four straight passes to move down to the NAU 33-yard line. After a short run and incomplete pass, the Thunderbirds converted a third-and-eight but were called for holding, moving the ball back to the 43. NAU forced two incompletions in a row to seal the game.

NORTHERN ARIZONA 34, No. 9 MONTANA STATE 7 GAME 6 - OCT. 16, 2010 - FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. WALKUP SKYDOME (12,155)
No. 13 Eastern Washington took advantage of three first-half interceptions and held off a second half rally to prevail 21-14 over No. 24 Northern Arizona at Roos Field. Bo Levi Mitchell went 20-for-26 for 288 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Eagles. Running back Taiwon Jones was held to just 48 yards on 16 carries. He entered the game leading the nation in all-purpose yardage and averaging 129.5 per game, the sixth-best total in the nation. The Lumberjacks got back in the game in the second half behind the play of backup Chasen Stangel and a big fumble recovery in the end zone for a touchdown by Brian Hunter to pull within seven points. Trailing 21-7, the Lumberjacks failed to score on fourth and goal play on the three-yard line. But on the next play Scott McKeever forced a Taiwon Jones fumble that Brian Hunter recovered for a score, pulling NAU back in the game at 21-14. NAU then got the ball back after a missed field goal by the Eagles. But NAU failed to score on its final drive when the Lumberjacks were stopped on a fourth and 12 from the Eastern 38 with 3:37 left in the game. The Eagles closed out the game with Mitchell converting a 35yard pass to Brandon Kaufman.
Quarterback Michael Herrick threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns and the Northern Arizona defense held the second-ranked offense in the Football Championship Subdivision to 123 yards to upset ninthranked Montana State 34-7 at the Walkup Skydome. The win marked the highest ranked team defeated by NAU at home since 2002 when the Lumberjacks defeated then-No. 9 Portland State in the Walkup Skydome. Montana State, which led the Big Sky and ranked second in the FCS in total offense at 516.2 yards per game, was held to just 19 yards in the first half and 123 for the game. Herrick went 32-for-43 for 281 yards and three touchdowns, completing 23-of-28 passes in the first half as the Lumberjacks built a 28-0 lead. Zach Bauman had 138 yards of total offense, rushing for 71 and gaining 67 on seven receptions. Austin Shanks and Daiveun Curry-Chapman combined for 16 catches for 144 yards and three touchdowns. NAU got on the board first with a quarter-draining 19-play, 99-yard drive that took 9:23 off the clock in the initial quarter. Herrick went 7-for8 on the drive, while Zach Bauman rushed 10 times for 43 yards. The Lumberjacks scored on a 4-yard pass from Herrick to Curry-Chapman.

2010 GAME RECAPS No. 7 MONTANA 24, No. 20 N. ARIZONA 21 GAME 7 - OCT. 23, 2010 - MISSOULA, MONT. WASHINGTON-GRIZZLY STADIUM (25,323) Seventh-ranked Montana scored with five seconds left in the game to prevail 24-21 over Northern Arizona at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The late score erased a Lumberjack lead taken with an 11-yard scoring run by Giovannie Dixon with just 1:55 left that had the Lumberjacks within reach of their first victory in Missoula since 1986. Trailing 17-14, NAU got the ball with 6:53 left with a chance to take the lead, Junior Chasen Stangel, who finished 23-for-34 for 187 yards and a touchdown, completed back-toback passes to Davieun Curry-Chapman and Austin Shanks to advance into the UM territory. The Lumberjacks then leaned on freshman Zach Bauman, who rushed for six straight plays for 29 yards. Dion then scored on an 11-yard play with the two-point attempt failing. Bauman finished with 27 carries for 127 yards in the contest. After a 43-yard kickoff return, the Griz took over on their own 44-yard line, converting three straight third down attempts. UM quarterback Justin Roper converted the last one with a 15-yard run on a broken play down to the 15. Two completions pushed the ball down to the 2 with the clock dwindling. NAU stopped a rush play before a defensive pass interference reset the downs. The Lumberjacks held Chase Ryenolds to no gain again, forcing a timeout with 10 seconds left. Roper then connected with CJ Atkins on a jump ball in the right corner for the winning score.

HORNET STADIUM (4,862) Sacramento State converted three first-half turnovers into touchdowns and scored on five consecutive possessions en route to a 40-10 victory over 25thranked Northern Arizona at the Walkup Skydome. NAU (4-4, 2-3 Big Sky) fumbled on three early drives, including back-to-back offensive plays in the first quarter, giving the Hornets two short fields on the 23and 27-yard lines, respectively. Running back Bryan Hilliard punched it in on both drives from 1-yard out for a 14-0 lead. The Hornets extended the lead to 21-0 after a, 8-play, 80-yard drive behind the play of quarterback Jeff Fleming, who went 6-for-7 for 83 yards on the drive. He finished 23-for-32 for 333 yards and three touchdowns with just one interception. Overall, Sacramento State posted 488 yards yards of total offense, including 155 yards on the ground.

WEBER STATE 27, NORTHERN ARIZONA 26 GAME 10 - NOV. 13, 2010 - FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. WALKUP SKYDOME (6,087)
Zach Bauman rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns to help Northern Arizona to a 21-14 victory over Northern Colorado at Nottingham Field. Bauman finished with his fifth 100-yard rushing game of the season, scoring twice on 29 carries. Senior quarterback Michael Herrick went 15-for-23 for 182 yards and a touchdown. NAU scored twice in the opening quarter, aiding from the return of a healthy Herrick at quarterback. A pass interference call against UNC extended the first drive which NAU converted into a touchdown by Bauman, who rushed for 50 yards on the drive including the final 15 for the score. After a three-and-out, NAU scored again with a hookup from Herrick to Daiveun Curry-Chapman for 39 yards to lead 14-0. The Bears opened the second quarter with a 70-yard completion to tight end Doug Steele, setting up a 1-yard score by Orms to pull within 14-7. But the Lumberjacks marched down the field, scoring on a fourthand-goal plunge by Bauman to push the lead back to 14 points. The Bears pulled closer in the second half when Steele caught a 13-yard pass from Orms on a fourth down play, catching a ball deflected by two NAU defenders. The Bears had four drives in the final quarter, but the defense stopped them each time forcing two punts.
Weber State converted a late turnover into the game-winning touchdown with 38 seconds left to defeat Northern Arizona 27-26 at the Walkup Skydome. NAU (5-5, 3-4) led 26-20 and had moved the ball into field goal range late in the fourth quarter. But Michael Herrick was intercepted on a 3-and-9 pass by Weber's Kela Marceil at the Weber State 29 with 3:53 left on the clock. Weber State quarterback Mike Hoke, who replaced injured Cameron Higgins, led the Wildcats on a 13-play, 75-yard drive to tie the game with 38 seconds left. Shaun McClain's extra point was the winning margin. The Lumberjacks had one last chance after a 34-yard return by Austin Shanks started their drive at their own 39. Herrick completed a short pass to Daiveun Curry-Chapman for five yards and the Wildcats were called for delay of game. But NAU never got any closer with four straight incomplete passes ending the game.

POSTSEASON HISTORY 1958 NAIA Playoffs Gustavus Adolphus 41, NAU 12 Tucson, Ariz. 1958 - NAIA Championship Northeastern Oklahoma 19, NAU 13 1958 NAIA Holiday Bowl St. Petersburg, Fla. After beating Gustavus Adolphus in the first round of postseason play, NAU met Northeastern Oklahoma in the NAIA championship
Holiday Bowl. The Lumberjacks and Oakies battled it out all game up and down the field, but the most exciting play came in the fourth quarter when the Lumberjacks tried to mount a comeback in front of an 8,500-plus crowd and about 15 million more watching the game on CBS. With time running out and the Lumberjacks down 19-7, NAU drove downfield 92-yards powered by the arm of quarterback Ted Sorich to score a touchdown, but the extra point was missed. With only minutes left and the Jacks down six points, NAU's defense did everything in its power to get the ball back. But the Oakie offense was strong, and as time ran out, NAU had to settle for NAIA national runner-up. 1977 - NCAA Division II First Round Jacksonville State 35, NAU 0 Flagstaff, Ariz. In its first postseason game in 19 years the Lumberjacks were blanked at home 35-0 in front of a crowd of 7,584 by Jacksonville State. The Jacks, who never managed to get any points on the board, were beaten in almost every aspect of the game. Jacksonville St. more than doubled the rushing production of the Jacks and came up with 19 first downs while NAU only had 12. After scoring two touchdowns in the last four minutes of the first quarter, Jacksonville St. hit the locker room at halftime with a 21-0 lead. After scoring two more touchdowns in the third, Jacksonville St. was finally quieted in the fourth quarter with the game ending at 35-0.
1996 - NCAA Division I-AA First Round Furman 42, Northern Arizona 31 Flagstaff, Ariz. The record-setting Lumberjack football team returned to the postseason for the first time in almost 20 years and the first time as a I-AA program, dropping a 42-31 game to Furman in the first round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. Although the Jacks statistically outscored Furman in first downs, rushing yards, passing yards and possession time, they could not manage to put enough points on the board. Northern Arizona failed to advance as the Paladins scored 21 unanswered points in the last 6:19 of the game. NAU started quickly, scoring 21 straight points to take a 21-7 halftime lead. Furman tied the game after three periods, but NAU assumed a 31-21 lead with 6:19 left. The Paladins rallied, taking the lead with 31 seconds left then sealing the win with an interception return for a TD. In his final game as a Lumberjack, Archie Amerson rushed for 206 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries, while Travis Brown threw for 260 yards. 2001 - NCAA Division IAA First Round Sam Houston State 34, NAU 31 Huntsville, Texas Alex St. Peter’s 20-yard field goal as time expired ended Northern Arizona’s season as Sam Houston State posted a 34-31 victory in the first round of the NCAA IAA playoffs. Sam Houston State (10-2) advances to face top-seeded Montana, while the Lumberjacks complete the 2001 campaign at 8-4. St. Peter’s game-winning kick was setup by a 58-yard completion from Josh McCown to Matt Buss that put the Bearkats in scoring position. SHSU had taken possession of the ball on the 32-yard line with just 24 seconds on the clock after a NAU touchdown. NAU had tied the game on a four-yard pass play from Preston Parsons to Clarence Moore. It completed a 12-play, 73-yard drive to tie the game. Parsons finished with a career-high 338 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receivers Clarence Moore and Johnny Marshall both had career afternoons. Moore had eight catches for 153 yards with two touchdowns, while Marshall had 149 yards on six catches with a touchdown. The Bearkats led 24-14 at the half behind three rushing touchdowns in the opening 20 minutes. Sam Houston scored the opening touchdown on a two-yard run by Joe Rauls. The extra-point attempt failed. NAU then rebounded two plays later when Parsons hit Marshall on a 75-yard bomb for a 7-6 lead. The Bearkats then got a 42-field goal from Joey Price and a one-yard run by McCown to build a 17-7 lead. NAU responded with a 10play drive to pull within three at 17-14 when Tom Winn caught a 12-yard pass from Parsons.
Ted Sorich, who led the Lumberjacks into the 1958 NAIA Championship game was inducted into the NAU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2002.

2003 - NCAA Division IAA First Round Northern Arizona 35, McNeese State 3 Lake Charles, La. Northern Arizona (9-3) upset top-ranked and top-seeded McNeese State behind freshman quarterback Jason Murrietta's five touchdown passes and a strong defensive effort en route to a 35-3 win in Lake Charles. Murrietta completed 24-for-35 passes for 285 yards and five touchdowns, hitting nine different receivers on the night. Four different receivers caught touchdowns, including two by senior Chris Nash, who had a game-high seven receptions. Murrietta and Nash started the scoring with a nine-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The Lumberjacks added a second score on an 11yard pass to Ramen Green for his first career touchdown and a 14-0 lead. McNeese managed its only points of the night on a 27-yard field goal from John Marino with 8:23 left in the second quarter. NAU built its lead to 21-3 on a 7-yard pass from Murrietta to Clarence Moore. The Lumberjacks held McNeese State scoreless in the second half, adding touchdowns in each quarter to complete one of the biggest firstround upsets in NCAA I-AA playoff history. It was the worst loss at home for the Cowboys since 1990. McNeese, which had been ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the year and had appeared in last year's 1-AA championship game, completed its season at 10-2. 2003 - NCAA Division I-AA Quarters Florida Atlantic 48, Northern Arizona 25 Flagstaff, Ariz. Jared Allen passed for 228 yards and three touchdowns and the Florida Atlantic defense led by sophomore cornerback Willie Hughley's two big plays that led to 14 points - stymied the Northern Arizona offense through the first half as FAU, a third-year member of the Division IAA football ranks, posted a 48-25 win over the host Lumberjacks in a quarterfinal matchup before 9,134 fans in the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome. The Owls' speed proved to be a daunting factor in the contest on the Walkup Skydome turf, both offensively and defensively. FAU forced three turnovers, including a 47-yard interception return for a touchdown by Hughley in the third quarter to make the score 27-3, then a 25-yard fumble return by Hughley that set up a threeyard TD pass from Allen to Doug Parker to make it 41-3. In the first half, the Lumberjacks' offense had a difficult time getting any momentum on any drives, as NAU was held to 127 yards and just three points at halftime as the Owls vaulted to a 24-3 lead. The Lumberjacks got offense rolling in the second half, but it was too late. NAU rolled up 267 yards of offense after halftime and scored 22 points in the fourth quarter thanks to recovering an onside kick and a 57-yard pass from receiver Clarence Moore to fellow receiver Chris Nash - off a lateral from freshman QB Jason Murrietta - that closed the scoring.

In 2011, the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome, one of the most unique venues in all of college athletics, celebrates its 34th year as the entertainment center for northern Arizona. The Skydome has been the home of NAU football, basketball and indoor track and field since 1977. Construction began in the fall of 1975, and the facility was completed in September 1977. Seating capacity for football originally was 15,000 and 7,000 for basketball. Once the largest wood-span structure of its kind in the world, the Skydome was built at a cost of more than $8 million. It covers an area of 6.2 acres, with the roof spanning more than 500 feet and rising 142 feet above the playing surface. The Skydome showcases the new REALGRASS™ surface installed in the spring of 2008 by the Hellas Construction firm of Austin, Texas.

Matrix version of the brand REALGRASS™ cost close to $1 million. The REALGRASS™ Matrix system is comprised of a monofilament spinneret yarn in two different sizes and colors. It is the same one under consideration for the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium. With the 2001 renovation to the Skydome floor, the 96,000-square foot surface was covered with Mondo. The track contains a six-lane, 300-meter non-banked loop (eight sprinting lanes) with the infield containing enough area for six NCAA-standard basketball and volleyball courts, as well as two regulation tennis courts. Track and field specific, the facility now has 12month training capabilities. When covered for football with artificial turf, the Skydome supports a practice pole vault pit and a long/triple jump runway, as well as a lane for sprinting and hurdles. When the turf is up, the facility can be used for intramural and camp sports, and has enough room for a varsity soccer practice. The roof was also resurfaced during the summer of 2000 and the astroturf was replaced in 2002 from a surface that was in the Tropicana Dome, the home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, in St. Petersburg, Fla. The concourse contains offices, meeting rooms, restrooms and concession stands. Located on the dome’s floor level are fully equipped locker rooms and state-of-the-art athletic training and weight rooms. During the summer of 1997, the dome underwent a $1 million lighting renovation that further enhanced the Skydome’s lure for television cameras. Fresh air and heat come through 19 large ducts, maintaining a constant temperature of 72 degrees. The first NAU sporting event held in the Skydome was a Lumberjack win over Montana in football on a last-second field goal, 25-24. The first NAU basketball game was a 101-76 triumph over Alaska Anchorage. Special athletics events held in the Skydome include a Division II football playoff game in 1977, a Division I-AA football playoff games in 1996 and 2003, a first-

J I M FA L L I S , AT H L E T I C D I R E C T O R Jim Fallis was named the Director of Athletics at Northern Arizona University in May, 2004, and the department has had success across the board under his leadership. Under his direction, the 300-plus Lumberjack student-athletes have maintained 3.00 or better cumulative mark in 13 of the 14 semesters under his direction. Eight squads posted a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA last year led by the soccer team which posted a department-best 3.39 in 2010-11. The positive grade report comes after a semester that produced a schoolrecord fifty-five student-athletes participating in spring commencement ceremonies.
