SEASON PREVIEW
#NAUSTRONG
A year ago, Head Coach Jerome Souers and the Northern Arizona football team were picked to win the Big Sky Conference by fellow league head coaches and the media. Coming off a sensational season with one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, Lumberjack Country was excited for what was to come. Fast forward to 2017 and NAU has a new offensive coordinator to lead a quarterback who was sidelined four games into last season with a shoulder injury. Everyone in the FCS is wondering, “Just how good is Northern Arizona going to be with Case Cookus returning to the field?” We guess everyone will just have to wait and see. Souers – in his 20th season at the helm of the Lumberjack football program – knows that wins won’t come easy for his team or any other team in the league for that matter. The Big Sky is traditionally one of the top football conferences in the FCS, so the win on gameday will go to the last team standing. Souers is the winningest coach in Big Sky history with 112 career victories. During his time at NAU, Souers and the Lumberjacks have upset the top ranked teams in the nation - at home and on the road - and have had a solid campaign at home to entice fans to make the Walkup Skydome their home on Saturdays. The mission in 2017 will be the same for Northern Arizona - give it your best, lay it all out on the field, and let your hard work during the week culminate on Saturday with a victory. Souers leads a Lumberjack roster that has 10 starters and 32 letterwinners returning in 2017. It won’t be easy, as Souers will call upon senior wide receiver Emmanuel Butler and redshirt sophomore Case Cookus to pace the NAU offense that has a plethora of weapons at its disposal.

2017 NORTHERN ARIZONA FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
2017 SEASON
SEASON PREVIEW
2017 • LUMBERJACK OFFENSE • SEASON PREVIEW Standing tall for NAU is returning All-American senior wide receiver Emmanuel Butler. The 6-foot-2 Arizona native is in his final season with the Lumberjacks and has accomplished what no other player has done in school history – that’s record two 1,000-yard receiving campaigns. His game and his stature speaks for itself. Butler is 597 yards away from eclipsing the NAU career receiving yards record of 3,042 and with quarterback Case Cookus back in the pocket to pass him the ball, Saturday’s can’t get here fast enough. The duo of Cookus and Butler is a sight to watch. Batman and Robin. Tom and Jerry. Mario and Luigi. None sound as good as Cookus and Butler. In their first complete season together, the tandem became the sixth pair in school history- the first since 2009 - to register 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in a single season. A Wide View First-year offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Brian Sheppard joined NAU from Indiana State in the spring. With a new up-tempo offense on deck, Sheppard has experience from left to right on the line of scrimmage. Backing up Cookus will be junior Hunter Correll and graduate transfer Gerrit Groenwould. Correll used the spring time to up his snap count, as he has shown tremendous growth from his arrival until now. Groenwould joined the Lumberjacks in the summer time, having competed at Arizona Christian for three seasons, where he was

a two-time Central States Football League Offensive Player of the Year honoree.
Cory Young – Boise State – brings FBS experience to the running unit.
How Deep is the Depth? Joining Butler are fellow senior wide receivers Elijah Butler, an All-Big Sky Third Team honoree, and Hunter Burton. With a season like he had last year, Marks could find himself in the top 15 on the NAU career chart in receiving yards, as his game has improved tremendously over the years. Burton, known for his sprawled out endzone catches, can be a valuable asset with consistency. Add to that mix junior William Morehand, and the options are endless for Cookus. The Lumberjacks added nine wide receivers this past spring. If any of the newcomers can show they’re ready to play this season, Cookus will never turn away options if it gets the offense up the field and in the endzone.
Gone is Experience, In Comes the Youth NAU’s offensive line allowed a mere four sacks in its first-10 games to provide a steady brick wall for the quarterback. Returning in 2017 are Second Team All-Big Sky senior offensive guard Tyler Shank and Third Team All-Big Sky senior center Blake Porter - the veterans of the line. Both players were instrumental in NAU registering over 3,500 passing and 1,700 rushing yards in 2016. Junior Cole Habib started every game a year ago at right tackle for NAU giving the line three guys with a good amount of experience. NAU lost its starting left tackle and left guard to graduation, meaning that this season the left side will be rather young if switches aren’t made.
Run, NAU, Run One area of pure talent is the running back position. Sophomore Joe Logan busted on to the scene last year in style – finding the endzone on his first-two collegiate carries. Yeah. Unbelievable. Despite failing to appear in NAU’s first couple of games, Logan still found himself ranked No. 15 in the final FCS STATS Freshman of the Year voting, while nabbing Big Sky Honorable Mention nods. This can only have fans wondering, “If he had three more games, what damage could he have done up the middle?” Redshirt freshman Nate Stinson returns to the field after he was injured two games into last season and junior transfer

2017 • LUMBERJACK DEFENSE • SEASON PREVIEW The Northern Arizona defense may not have the same look it did a year ago, but the amount of talent it has accrued in the offseason is spectacular. From the secondary to the defensive line to linebackers, this group is ready to take on the challenge. It is led by defensive coordinator Andy Thompson in his 13th season, as he’s formulated defensive schemes to be prepped and ready for game time. Young and Energized One of the youngest units to take the field this season will be the defensive secondary. Add to that the leadership of new defensive secondary coach Vernon Smith - a national champion in 2001 with conference foe Montana - and the unit hasn’t seen this much motivation and energy in years. The defensive secondary picked up senior transfer safety Spencer Havrid from Gardner-Webb in the summer to claim their only senior on the roster, while 12 players will be listed as either a freshman or a sophomore. Sophomore Khalil Dorsey is the lone player with All-Big Sky attached to his name, as he earned honorable mention accolades a year ago after recording 47 tackles and two interceptions. Part of Dorsey’s success is due to his game changing speed, which has also led him to earn All-Big Sky honors on the track. A stellar hurdler and long jumper in the offseason, Dorsey’s athletic ability allows him to excel on defense. The top returning tackler for the secondary is junior cornerback Andrew Gose. Just two years ago, Gose was a wide receiver for NAU, but the
transition has led him to be right where he belongs leading NAU with 12 pass breakups a year ago. At safety, the Lumberjacks are happy to have junior Wes Sutton back, who was sidelined four games in due to injury. In that span he still was able to register 14 tackles and an 18-yard interception. D-Line The facts. The defensive line will enter the season with zero starters, as no one on its roster even started a single game in 2017. The result. An entirely new look on the line. The bright spot will be that seniors Clarence Smith and James Walton – both transfers a year ago – garnered solid playing time and will be called upon for their leadership. Smith recorded 20 tackles, three at a loss for 28 yards, while Walton made 18 stops. The Lumberjacks boast 18 players on the roster, so fall camp will be highly competitive with multiple players vying for playing time and to be called upon as a starter. The biggest loss for the defensive line is the graduation of First Team All-Big Sky honoree Siupeli Anau. The defensive end totaled 55 tackles on the season, including 15.0 for a loss of 83 yards and a Big Sky best 8.5 sacks for a total of 66 yards.
ans in the lineup. Casteel is the team’s top returning tackler from 2017 with 67 stops. He started three of 11 contests a year ago, and has improved his game through spring ball. After a year under the NAU system, Evans is back and ready for his final season. He made eight appearances last year racking up 26 tackles. Another face fans will get to see more of is sophomore Taylor Powell. He was a beast on defense and special teams last year, collecting 30 tackles and recovering one fumble.

2017 SEASON
SEASON PREVIEW
2017 • LUMBERJACK SPECIALISTS • SEASON PREVIEW He’s Only a Sophomore Sophomore Griffin Roehler walked into fall camp a year ago a newbie and walked off the turf at the end of the season a veteran. As a true freshman, he was the only rookie named to an All-Big Sky Team, as he picked up First Team placekicker honors. Roehler made 13 of 16 field goal attempts and led NAU in scoring with 83 points. Roehler’s field goal percentage of .813 ranked him 13th in the FCS, while his 1.18 field goals per game slated him in the 20th spot. He had 68 kickoffs for an average of 61.7 yards per kick with 26 resulting in a touchback. He was one of 11 players in the FCS to register four or more made field goals in a single game. Not a bad resume to jumpstart his college career. Up for Grabs? Freshmen Derek Arnson and Luis Aguilar are expected to compete for the punting spot. Arnson is new to the team, while Aguilar redshirted last season. Fall camp will be critical and consistency is important for the duo to see who’s name will be called upon come game time. Oh Snap Redshirt sophomore Harrison Goebel and senior Andy Rodriguez are the two names circling snapping duties. Goebel handled all snaps in his freshman season, before sitting out last season due to injury. During that time, Rodriguez took over the snapping duties for punts last season holding down the fort.
10
Ooo He’s Fast Junior William Morehand was a bulldozer with the ball in his first season. Morehand handled the punt returns for NAU, and he made sure to impress. Morehand racked up 246 punt return yards on 22 carries, including a career-long 52 yard return. He finished the season No. 14 in the FCS in punt returns with an average of 11.2 per game. Only two punts were returned by someone other than Morehand, showing that when you have a solid man in the spot, you let him do his thing. And They’re Off Senior Elijah Marks has seen plenty of time as a kick returner for NAU. He returned 14 kicks for 326 yards last season and eight kicks for 202 yards the year prior. Last season he was joined by speedster Joe Logan, who notched 244 kick return yards on 13 attempts. Both athletes are back and ready to steadily improve NAU’s special teams play. The unit had 28 total returns for 584 yards at an average of 20.9 yards per kick. Special Teams Contributing to the defensive side of special teams was linebacker sophomore Taylor Powell. His impact on special teams was felt by every opponent NAU faced, and for that Powell picked up All-Big Sky honorable mention accolades. Two other players who will be major factors for NAU this fall will be juniors Wes Sutton and Cory Young, The duo is expected to be four-core start-
ers on special teams, after having showed new special teams coach Gary Hyman that they are capable of coming in and competing day-in and day-out. Quick Look at the Schedule For the first time since 2013, NAU will have a schedule with only FCS and FBS opponents. The Lumberjacks welcome Western Illinois and Illinois State for non-conference play, and will make a trip to the University of Arizona to open up the season on Sept. 2. With 12 games on its slate, NAU will have a hefty load that will boost its strength of schedule.

2017 NORTHERN ARIZONA FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE HEAD COACH
COACHING STAFF
JEROME SOUERS Head Coach 20th Season • Oregon ‘83 • Head coach Jerome Souers is tied for seventh in the FCS in tenured coaches this upcoming season, as he begins his 20th year in 2017. He is the winningest coach in the Big Sky history, having received that title last season with 112 career victories. • Last year, Souers and the Lumberjacks were picked to win the Big Sky in both preseason polls, but injuries hindered the Lumberjacks’ chances of making that prediction come true. Despite a 5-6 season, NAU had 11 players honored with all-conference accolades, with three picking up first team nods. • In 2015, NAU positioned itself for a run at the conference crown in the final game, but it came up just short finishing 7-4, 5-3 in Big Sky play and just narrowly missing a spot in the FCS Playoffs. • With a new offensive scheme in place, Souers became the Big Sky’s all-time leader in conference wins with 72. The Lumberjacks averaged 50.8 points per game at home, never scored less than 41 points, and went undefeated at the Walkup Skydome in regular season play for the second time in three years. • NAU had four players earn All-American accolades, while 14 players earned a total of 15 All-Big Sky honors. The Lumberjacks had six first team selections, while Cookus went on to become the FCS STATS Freshman Player of the Year and the Jerry Rice Award winner. Cookus finished fifth in national offensive player of the year voting, as he was the only freshman on the final ballot. • In Souers’ 17th season with the Lumberjacks, he earned career win No. 100 on November 8, 2014 in a 23-21 defeat over UC Davis at home. Souers became the second coach in Big Sky history to amass 100 victories while coaching in the league. • Souers, the longest tenured football coach in the history of NAU Football, became the 15th active FCS coach to win 100 games at his current institution. • During his 19-year tenure, Souers has coached 177 student-athletes to all-conference honors a combined 282 times with 58 firstteam selections and 84 All-American accolades. • In the classroom, the football program has produced the Golden Eagle Scholar Athlete of the Year nine times (Blair Boynton, Eric
14
Damko, Steve Gomez, Mark Gould, Paul Ernster, Jeff Wheeler, Jake Hess, Austin Hasquet, and Patrick Baldenegro). Overall, the program has earned 176 Big Sky All-Academic honors over the last 19 seasons with seven Academic All-Americans. • In 2014, the ‘Jacks finished with a 7-5 overall record, including a nine-game regular season home win streak dating back to the start of the 2013 season. NAU went 5-3 in league play. The Lumberjacks’ four-game win streak saw NAU defeat No. 2 Eastern Washington in a thrilling last second 28-27 victory in front of 9,699 fans. The win over the Eagles was the first in the Walkup Skydome over a team ranked higher than ninth. NAU’s largest crowd of the season saw 11,545 fans pile in the Walkup Skydome as the ‘Jacks took down Cal Poly 38-35 in another down to the wire win. Two players received All-American honors and 15 players earned a sum of 17 All-Big Sky accolades in 2015. Off the field, Austin Hasquet became NAU’s first National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, and the first football player to be a two-time First Team Academic All-American. • The 2013 season saw NAU post a 7-1 league record to finish second in the Big Sky (the highest finish since 2003), and a 9-3 overall record. The Lumberjacks earned an at-large bid to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs for the first time since 2003. Four players earned a total of seven All-American honors, while 19 Lumberjacks earned Big Sky All-Conference accolades. NAU finished the regular season undefeated at home with a 5-0 record. The ‘Jacks ranked as high as No. 8 during the season and finished ranked No. 15 in the final polls. NAU also led the FCS in defensive touchdowns. Souers was a recipient of the Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr., Salute to Excellence Award. • Souers and his team posted an 8-3 overall record in 2012, the best performance since the 2003 season. The record includes tying a school record eight consecutive wins which was sparked by a 17-14 win at UNLV. Included in the win streak was a 28-24 defeat over No. 14 Montana. The win snapped a 14-game losing streak to the Grizzlies and propelled NAU into the top 25 poll.

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. • The 2003 season saw Souers become a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, an award presented by The Sports Network to the top head coach in I-AA football. Souers led the Lumberjacks to a record-breaking NCAA I-AA Quarterfinal appearance in 2003, and its first Big Sky Conference title since 1978. • 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 the season 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 garnering second team honors in 2002 and first team accolades in 2003. In 2003, NAU led the nation with five CoSIDA Academic All-District selections. • 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. • Fifteen student-athletes were recognized with 2001 All-Big Sky Conference honors. All-Big Sky First Team selections linebacker Keith O’Neil signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys and won a Super Bowl title with the Indianapolis Colts in his fourth year in the NFL. Senior tackle Eric Damko was named to the Verizon Academic All-America squad for the second consecutive season. • Souers was named the 1999 Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year in his second season with the Lumberjacks. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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 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

Milestones Head Coach Jerome Souers became the All-Time Winningest Coach in Big Sky history with 112 wins
Big Sky All-Conference Wide Receiver Emmanuel Butler, Defensive End Siupeli Anau, and Kicker Griffin Roehler were all named to the All-Big Sky First Team. Emmanuel Butler Butler is a two-time All-First Team Big Sky honoree. He’s the first player in NAU history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Butler recorded 1,003 yards to increase his career total to 2,446. He needs 597 yards to break the NAU alltime career record. He is also three receiving touchdowns away from breaking the NAU career record.
Siupeli Anau Anau finished the season with 55 tackles, and a team-high 15.0 tackles for a loss of 83 yards, in addition to a Big Sky high 8.5 sacks for a drop of 66 yards, and three forced fumbles. He was named the ROOT SPORTS Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 10, after registering 3.0 sacks for a loss of 32 yards, including a pair of forced fumbles.
Griffin Roehler Roehler was the only freshman in the league to earn first, second, or third team honors at any position. Roehler led NAU in scoring with 83 points. He made 13 of 16 field goals and 44 of 45 PATs in 2016. Roehler finished as one of 11 players in the FCS to register four or more made field goals in a single game.

HISTORY
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 foot-
100
ball 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 I-AA 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 I-AA 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 fouryard 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 10-play drive to pull within three at 17-14 when Tom Winn caught a 12-yard pass from Parsons. 2003 - NCAA Division I-AA First Round Northern Arizona 35, McNeese State 3 Lake Charles, La. Northern Arizona (9-3) upset topranked 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 gamehigh 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 11-yard 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 first-round 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 102. 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 thirdyear member of the Division I-AA football
POSTSEASON HISTORY
2013 - Football Championship Division Playoffs - First Round South Dakota State 26, Northern Arizona 7 Flagstaff, Ariz. The Northern Arizona (9-3) football team hit the field for their first Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoff game since 2003. The Lumberjacks were able to strike first against visiting South Dakota State (8-4), but the Jackrabbits battled back and came away with the 26-7 win in the Walkup Skydome. For the Lumberjacks, the game ended a 10-year drought for NAU in the playoffs. Two hours before kickoff, the NAU Athletics Department announced that head coach Jerome Souers would not be coaching after suffering from complications that arose from a recent back surgery. Under the helm of interim head coach and defensive coordinator Andy Thompson, the Lumberjacks took the field in honor of their head coach. “Not having your head coach is tough, but I think the kids prepared well and worked hard,” said Thompson. “We didn’t
execute well and I think that was the big difference. They were able to execute and score and we didn’t do a great job stopping them. We weren’t able to score on offense, so it came down to execution.” After a scoreless first quarter, senior All-American running back Zach Bauman rushed six yards into the end zone to give the Lumberjacks the lead. The touchdown also gave Bauman the title of “All-Time NAU Points Scorer” with 310 career points scored. South Dakota State was able to tie the game when Zach Zenner zipped by a NAU defender and ran 87 yards to the house. By the end of the first half, both Zachs had reached the 100 yards rushing plateau, as they did not disappoint the crowd. Enter the second half of the game, and NAU found itself pinned down on its own one-yard line after a false start was called on the first play of the drive. The Lumberjacks were unable to scramble out of the end zone, leading to a safety and a 9-7 lead for the Jackrabbits. Less than one minute later, Zenner broke loose again, this time for a 34-yard touchdown. South Dakota State was able to tack on a 20-yard field goal (Justin Syrovatka) and seven-yard touchdown (Reggie Gandy) in the fourth quarter to come away with the victory and advance to the second round of the playoffs. The Lumberjacks finished the season with a 9-3 overall record for the second straight season. Twenty-two seniors highlighted the NAU roster, as they will be missed next season. The Lumberjacks close out their season with an FCS-best eight defensive touchdowns.

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.

“The Walkup Skydome is a unique, quirky stadium that is a shining example of how stadiums can add to the beauty of college football.” - Bleacher Report, 2012 The J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome is home to the Northern Arizona football, men’s and women’s basketball, and indoor track & field. It is one of the most unique venues in all of college athletics will open for its 41st year as the entertainment center for northern Arizona. After a logo rebranding in April 2014, the Skydome turf was rebranded with NAU’s newest logo in the center of the field and the wordmark in both endzones. The building underwent a major renovation from Dec. 2010 - Sept. 9, 2011, at a cost of $26 million. The scope of the project included bringing the fire, life and safety up to code while remodeling the bathrooms, concourse, offices, suites, locker rooms and press box. The athletic training and equipment on the main floor were also remodeled and three elevators were added to the complex. Fans enter the building to a panoramic view of the field on the east and west concourses. Capacity was reduced to 10,000 with 21-inch wide chair back seating being added. The construction of the Skydome 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 REALGRASS™ surface installed in the spring of 2008 by the Hellas Construction firm of Austin, Texas. The carpet, the Matrix version of the brand REALGRASS™ cost close to $1 million. The REALGRASS™ Matrix system is comprised of a monofilament spinneret yarn in two Walkup Skydome Facts Capacity 10,000 Constructed 1977 Elevation 7,000 feet First Game NAU 25, Montana 24 Longest Win Streak 11 (1996-97) Losing Losing Streak 4 (1991-92) Biggest Win NAU 75, W.

different sizes and colors. It is the same installed for the Dallas Cowboys’ 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 12-month 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, Division I FCS playoff games Field Fun Facts * There is 44 oz. of yarn per square yard of REALGRASS™. * The field consists of 28 rolls that weigh 8,700 pounds each. * The project contains 23,400 pounds of fiber synthetic yarn. * The field is filled with 230,000 pounds of ground recycled rubber tires.

A 2017, SportsBusiness Journal Forty Under 40 honoree, Campos has guided the Lumberjacks to Back-to-Back Big Sky Conference Presidents’ Cup trophies; an award that recognizes the department’s overall excellence in competition and in the classroom. In 2013, NAU became the fourth institution to win multiple Presidents’ Cups, winning their second (first was 2005-06); and then followed it up during the 2013-14 school year. NAU has captured 32 team conference championships during Campos’ time in Flagstaff, while 10 teams have advanced to postseason competition.
