Robert Morris (1-2) @ No. 6/7 South Dakota State (2-0) Saturday, Sept. 26, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. (ET) Coughlin-Alumni Stadium (16,700) - Brookings, S.D. Radio: ESPN 970 AM (Chris Shovlin - play-by-play & Spencer Kowitz - color) Audio on the internet at: www.970espn.com / Live Video: ESPN3

Top Story - The Robert Morris University football team makes its longest trip of the year this Saturday, Sept. 26, as it travels to South Dakota State for a 6:00 p.m. (ET) kickoff at CoughlinAlumni Stadium. The Colonials are coming off their first victory of the year, a come-from-behind effort, after dropping tight decisions in each of the first two weeks. In fact, the team leading at the half in each of RMU’s first three games has ended up on the losing end. South Dakota State has won a game in the FCS Playoffs in each of the past three years and currently has tied its best ever FCS national ranking. True freshman Warren Robinson was selected Northeast Conference Special Teams Player of the Week Monday, giving the Colonials at least one honoree in each of the season’s first three weeks for the first time since 1997. True freshman Mathew Barr ran for two TD’s last week to become the first Colonial freshman QB to rush for multiple TD in a game. This will be RMU’s final tune-up before commencing Northeast Conference play as the Colonials will remain on the road next Saturday, Oct. 3, to take on defending NEC co-champion Wagner. Quick Stat of the Afternoon - Robert Morris got points from a variety of sources in its victory last week. In addition to three conventional touchdowns, RMU also scored on a punt return and an interception return. Producing non-offensive touchdowns has been a recipe for success throughout Colonial history as RMU improved to 31-11 (.738) all-time when finding the end zone via its defense or special teams. When Warren Robinson brought back a punt 66 yards to the end zone in last week’s win, Robert Morris scored its 50th non-offensive touchdown in program history. However, last week’s contest was even more notable since it was only the third time ever, and the first since 2002, in which a Colonial team scored TD's via its offense, defense and special teams in the same game. Robert Morris' single-season record for non-offensive TD’s is six, and this year’s version of the Colonials is already halfway to that mark through three games. Saturday's Opponent - Saturday’s game between Robert Morris and South Dakota State marks the inaugural meeting between the two programs. Robert Morris owns a record of 20-14-1 (.586) when facing off with an opponent for the first time. South Dakota State is one of four new programs on RMU’s schedule this year, the most new foes the Colonials have faced since their inaugural season. This is the sixth consecutive season in which RMU has played at least one new opponent. It is also the third straight game against a first-time foe. Of RMU’s previous 35 games against a first-time opponent, 18 have come on the road. In those games, RMU is 7-10-1 (.417). On This Date (Sept. 26) in Robert Morris Football History - Robert Morris has played twice before on September 26, tallying a win and a loss. However, this Saturday’s game will mark the first road game and first non-conference tilt RMU has ever played on this date. The first time the Colonials took the field on 9/26 came in 1998 when they played Central Connecticut in their home opener after a bye. RMU jumped out early and never looked back as Fred Parker (1996-98) caught two touchdowns in the first 11 minutes of the game. The Colonials took a 21-3 lead into the locker room before Archie Wannamaker (1996-98) had a quarter to remember as he tallied three touchdown runs in the third period to blow open the game. A pair of Blue Devil TD's in the fourth only made the final margin a little closer as the game finished 42-17 in favor of the hosts. The Colonials dominated thanks to a +4 turnover margin, generated by four different Colonials recovering fumbles. Reggie Chambers (1998-2001) led RMU with nine stops.

2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes @ #6/7 South Dakota State (9/26/15) - Page 3

Head Coach John Banaszak Second Season - Eastern Michigan ’75 John Banaszak became the second head football coach in Robert Morris University history in December 2013. He served as an assistant coach and assistant head coach for the Colonials for 11 consecutive years prior to taking over the top spot. Banaszak was selected as Coach-In-Waiting in January 2012, allowing for a simple transition following the 2013 campaign. At the end of the 2013 season, he was named as the Assistant Coach of the Year at the FCS level as selected by the American Football Coaches Association. He was one of five coaches selected for dedication to their teams and communities. He was the first RMU coach, as well as the first from the NEC, to claim this honor. The 2013 season was Banaszak's sixth and final as assistant head coach for Robert Morris. Among his numerous duties with the program before becoming head coach, he was responsible for tutoring the defensive line and the special teams unit. Under Banaszak's guidance in 2013, Robert Morris led the NEC in net punting, punt return defense and punt return average. Banaszak was also a key component in instructing a RMU defense that finished second in the NEC in total defense within league play in 2013. Robert Morris finished its regular season ranked among the top 25 nationally in at least seven defensive categories including total defense. With Banaszak's assistance, RMU has led the NEC in total defense four times in the past 11 years and ranked among the top four nine times in the past 12 seasons. Banaszak was a key component to a 2010 defense that led the NEC in total defense as the Colonials claimed the NEC's inaugural berth in the FCS Playoffs. In 2006, he helped tutor an RMU defense that led I-AA in total defense, allowing an average of just 228.36 yards per game. 10 of the 13 players in school history to earn All-NEC recognition on the defensive line have come under the tutelage of Banaszak, including Nolan Nearhoof (200912), who was named the 2012 NEC Defensive Player of the Year after breaking both the school and league records for career sacks. Nearhoof would go on to earn AllAmerica honors, becoming the third Colonial defensive lineman to claim an AllAmerica nod under Banaszak in a seven-year span. As much as Banaszak's presence has been felt on the defensive side of the ball, the same can be said on special teams. He helped five distinct Colonials win an award at return specialist within the span of one decade. A graduate of Eastern Michigan, Banaszak signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers prior to the 1975 season and was one of only three rookies to make the defending Super Bowl champion team out of training camp. Primarily a special teams player on Pittsburgh's Super Bowl X championship team, Banaszak started five games the following season and then started at both right end and inside tackle in 1977 before suffering a knee injury that forced him to the injured reserve list. Between 1978 and 1980, Banaszak started 45 regular-season games at defensive end as the Steelers won back-to-back Super Bowls. In Super Bowl XIII, Banaszak recorded six tackles, including a pair of sacks, and a fumble recovery in a 35-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys, which garnered him Defensive Player of the Game honors. The following year, Banaszak helped the Steelers to a 31-19 victory over the Rams.

Last Time Out - Robert Morris jumped out to a 21-0 lead but had to rally in the fourth quarter to claim a 35-24 win over Notre Dame ... True freshman Mathew Barr finished 14-for-18 passing. His 77.8 completion percentage was the third-highest in RMU single game history … Redshirt sophomore Sam Woods recovered the first fumble of his career on kickoff coverage … Redshirt junior Austin Trgovcich finished with a teamhigh 11 tackles and tipped a pass that led to a Colonial interception … Redshirt senior captain Forrest Mason contributed nine tackles, tying his career high, while adding 2.0 tackles for loss … RMU carried the ball a single-game school record 63 times. Special Special Teams - True freshman Warren Robinson was named the NEC’s Special Teams Player of the Week Monday. The rookie returned three punts for 89 yards last Saturday, including a 66-yard return for a touchdown. It marked only the fourth punt return for a touchdown in RMU history, but it was the first ever by a freshman. In fact, he is one of only two freshmen among the 123 FCS programs to return a punt for a TD in 2015. Robinson’s 66-yard scamper was the second longest punt return in RMU history. Rookie Records - Redshirt freshman Kyle Buss caught nine passes for 108 yards and a touchdown in just his third collegiate game last Saturday. Buss, who also added 24 rushing yards, broke the RMU freshman single-game record for receptions as his nine catches are tied for the third most by a Colonial in a contest. Buss caught a 26-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter to find the end zone for the first time as a collegian. His nine catches also are tied for the most by a NEC athlete this season. Third Degree - Robert Morris finished the 2013 campaign ranked among the top 25 in the FCS in third down defense, allowing opponents to convert at a .349 clip. The Colonials managed to improve that figure to .331 in 2014 although that placed them one spot outside the top 25 nationally. If the first three weeks are any indication, RMU will perform well in that area again in 2015 as its opponents are 17-for-51 on third down. Turning It Around - A main point of emphasis for Robert Morris in 2015 was to improve its turnover differential after last year’s poor display in that category. Three weeks into 2015, RMU stands at +3 in turnovers. The Colonials have turned the ball over five times, but they have forced eight turnovers—four INT, four fumbles—to make up for that. Just For Kicks - RMU has done well at covering its kickoffs thus far in 2015. Junior Connor Shennan has tallied seven touchbacks on 14 attempts, the highest percentage in the NEC. However, even when his kicks have not resulted in touchbacks, RMU is holding its opponents to just 15.5 yards per return, one of the top 15 marks in the FCS. Stock Watch - Mike Stojkovic was named Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week Sept. 14, marking the second straight week a Colonial won that honor. Stojkovic helped limit nationally ranked Youngstown State’s offense as he posted 11 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble against the Penguins. He has hit double digits in tackles in all three games this season and forced two fumbles. Stojkovic currently ranks 15th in FCS in tackles per game and is tops in the Northeast Conference. Homegrown - One week after Rameses Owens ran for 152 yards, Cole Blake showcased RMU’s depth at running back with his effort last week. The hometown product rushed 25 times for a career-best 136 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Blake actually saw little action in the first half and registered 132 of his 136 yards in the second half. Break It Up - The median completion percentage across the FCS in 2014 was 57.6%. Robert Morris has allowed only two of its past 21 opponents to reach that mark. In fact, seven times in this stretch, the Colonials have held their opponent under a 45% rate. In each of the past two seasons, RMU had a stretch where it held its opponent under a 50% completion mark in three straight games. Start Me Up - Nick Faraci enters Saturday's game with the most consecutive starting assignments of all active Colonials as he has served as the center for 36 straight games. On defense, Marcelis Branch has the most total starts among active Colonials with 23, but Andy Smigiera and Mike Stojkovic are tied for the longest active streak (14).


2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes @ #6/7 South Dakota State (9/26/15) - Page 5 Rank and File - RMU’s game at South Dakota State will mark the second time in three weeks that the Colonials have faced a nationally ranked foe. That will make 2015 just the second season ever in which RMU has faced multiple foes who were ranked at the time. Saturday’s contest will also mark the second ever for RMU in which it faces a team ranked among the nation’s top 10. D-Fence - One week after Youngstown State scored 37 points and accumulated over 400 yards of total offense against Atlantic Coast Conference member Pittsburgh, the Robert Morris defense held the Penguins to 14 points and 304 total yards in regulation. RMU held the Penguins to an 11-for-27 passing mark, which is the lowest completion percentage by a Penguin team in their past 19 games. YSU’s total yards mark is its second smallest in its past 14 games. RMU also held YSU to a 5-for-17 figure on third down. Block Party - The Robert Morris special teams units rushed opposing kickers with ferocity in the 2015 opener. Junior Andy Smigiera blocked a field goal try in the first quarter while redshirt sophomore T-J Waters blocked a punt in the fourth quarter. In doing so, Robert Morris blocked two kicks in a game for just the second time in program history and the first time since 2002. Back-to-Back - Sophomore strong safety Ryan Richards Jr. was named Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week in the first release of the season. It marked the second straight weekly release in which he was honored as he claimed rookie accolades to close the 2014 season. Richards grabbed a pair of interceptions in the season opener, his fourth career start, while adding six tackles and a pass breakup. Richards owns three interceptions in 2015, and four in his career, along with 18 tackles. Initial Impressions - A number of RMU players have accrued a ‘first’ during the 2015 season. Five Colonials have made their first collegiate start through three games. Each of those five is part of a group of 15 Colonials that have made their collegiate deubt in 2015. A total of 27 Colonials made their first career start a year ago while 35 Colonials made their collegiate debut in 2014. Checkmate - True freshman Adam Check’s punting was one factor that helped RMU to a victory last Saturday. Of Check’s seven punts, four forced Notre Dame to start drives inside its own 15-yard line. In doing so, Check tied the RMU single-game record of punts downed inside the 20. On his last 16 punts, Colonial opponents have totaled only 27 return yards. Thou Shall Not Rush - The Robert Morris defense put forth a strong effort against the nation's fifth-leading rusher from a year ago in its 2015 season opener. Dayton's Connor Kacsor averaged over 140 yards per game on the ground in 2014, but the Colonials held him to nearly half that mark Sept. 5. RMU held Kacsor to 2.2 yards per carry on 33 attempts after he averaged 6.1 yards per carry during the 2014 season. In Kacsor's next game, which also came against a NEC opponent, he totaled 244 rushing yards and three TD's.

Last RMU Game Game #3 • Robert Morris 35, Notre Dame (Ohio) 24 September 19, 2015 • Moon Township, Pa. Joe Walton Stadium (Attendance: 2,164) - Robert Morris jumped out of the gates with a fury and then used a late rally to take down Notre Dame, 35-24, on Homecoming. RMU received the opening kickoff and marched down the field. After a 17-yard pass opened the drive, the Colonials ran the ball 12 straight times, the last of which was a 1-yard TD by Mathew Barr. RMU forced a three-and-out and would advance into Falcon territory before punting. The Colonials forced a second straight three-andout. Warren Robinson caught the ensuing punt and weaved his way through traffic for a 66-yard touchdown. Sam Woods then recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff to keep momentum with the hosts. Three plays later, Barr found Kyle Buss for a 26-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter. Notre Dame then began to find its footing as the Falcons took over for the rest of the quarter. The guests drove 75 yards to find the end zone, as their next drive was capped with a nine-yard pass. RMU then drove into Falcon territory but would commit its lone turnover as an interception set Notre Dame up at the RMU 26-yard line. The Colonials would force a field goal attempt from the red zone as the Falcons pulled within 21-10. Robert Morris was backed up on its next drive and would punt after three plays, giving the Falcons the ball near midfield. Notre Dame would use a 45-yard TD pass and a 51-yard TD pass, sandwiched around a Colonial three-and-out, to take the lead right before the half. A trio of punts began the second half before RMU drove 63 yards on nine plays into Falcon territory. However, the Colonials' subsequent field goal try was wide. After a Notre Dame punt, each team was stopped on fourth down while in the opposing teams' territory. Robert Morris then drove 65 yards on 12 plays to take the lead. A two-yard rush by Barr put the Colonials back on top with 11:17 to play. After a pair of punts, Notre Dame drove into Colonial territory, but Mike Stojkovic broke up a pass on third down to force a punt. RMU took over on its own 1-yard line and would face third down from the five, but Cole Blake made three consecutive rushes of over 10 yards to help get the team some breathing room. His rushes helped the Colonials flip field position before they were forced to punt. On Notre Dame's next drive, Austin Trgovcich tipped a pass. The ball popped up in the air, and Forrest Mason corralled it and rumbled the other direction for a touchdown, helping put the game away. Ryan Richards Jr. intercepted the Falcons on their final drive.

2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes @ #6/7 South Dakota State (9/26/15) - Page 6 For Starters - When Robert Morris took the field in its 2014 season finale at Duquesne, it sported its 11th distinct offensive starting lineup in the 11th and final game. RMU, which has sported different lineups on offense in its past 17 games overall, saw 23 distinct players start on offense in 2014 alone. Through three games in 2015, 15 Colonials have started on offense. Making the Grade - Current redshirt senior offensive lineman Nick Faraci and recently graduated wide receiver Duane Mitchell were both named Capital One Academic AllDistrict First Team last November. It was the second straight year Faraci earned this honor and the first such award for Mitchell, as they continued the trend of academic successes in the football program. These two accolades gave the Colonial program at least one Academic All-District honoree in each of the past 12 seasons, a span in which Robert Morris has taken home 23 overall selections. To put that in perspective, no other NEC school has an active streak of football Academic All-District selections longer than three years. Mitchell, a finance major, became the first RMU wide receiver to ever claim this honor. Ramming Defenses - Sophomore Rameses Owens carried the RMU offense in its road opener at nationally ranked Youngstown State. He rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns, the first multi-TD effort of his career. It marked the third time he surpassed 150 rushing yards in his eighth collegiate start. In his first career start, Owens rushed for 199 yards at North Dakota. In doing so, he broke the RMU freshman single-game rushing mark and was also named National Freshman of the Week by The Sports Network. He also rushed for 154 yards in his first home start against Monmouth (10/4/14). Seventh Heaven - Robert Morris was selected to finish seventh in the annual preseason Northeast Conference coaches poll. That fact may actually bode well for the Colonials on multiple fronts. In two of the past three seasons, the team picked seventh in the league has gone on to claim the NEC's automatic bid into the FCS Playoffs. Furthermore, the only other time in the past decade that Robert Morris was placed in the seventh position in the preseason poll came in 2006. RMU finished 7-4 that season and was a game out of first place at 5-2 in the league. In fact, the Colonials led the nation in total defense that season, allowing an average of 228.4 yards per game. Hurry Up – Robert Morris has run at least 80 offensive plays in a game 14 times in program history. After doing it eight times in its first 20 seasons, RMU has run 80+ plays six times since new offensive coordinator Darrin Hicks took over in 2014. The Colonials hit that figure four times in 2014 and twice in their first three games of 2015.

They'll Be Back - One interesting way to examine the state of the Colonial roster is to look at the number of players that started the season opener who will be finished with their careers after this season. Of RMU’s 22 offensive and defensive starters from its opener, only five Colonials—two on offense, three on defense—will have used all of their NCAA eligibility when the 2015 campaign is completed.

Others Receiving Votes: Stony Brook (335), William & Mary (263), Lamar (257), Northern Arizona (171), North Dakota (79), Samford (73), South Dakota (64), North Carolina A&T (42), Alcorn State (41), Western Illinois (36), Furman (35)

Times Two - One of the mainstays returning to the RMU defense in 2015 is redshirt senior Forrest Mason. Mason earned his second straight All-NEC honor in 2014, making him just one of five Colonials ever to claim multiple all-league honors as a defensive lineman. What made his accolade even more impressive a year ago is that the league’s coaches voted him to the team despite the fact that he was only able to appear in seven games. Mason currently leads the league in tackles per game among defensive linemen (6.3). He returned his first career interception for a touchdown in last week’s win.

The Nurse Will See You - RMU's starting center, redshirt senior Nick Faraci, became the fifth Colonial in school history, and the first on the offensive side of the ball, to earn a prestigious Academic All-America award this past December. However, that may not even be his most impressive feat. Faraci graduated from RMU in May with the highest grade point average in his nursing class. He subsequently passed his nursing board exams in the summer to earn his registered nurse (RN) license. Faraci, who owns a 3.94 cumulative GPA, worked in four area hospitals as part of his clinical rotations over the past few years.

2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes @ #6/7 South Dakota State (9/26/15) - Page 8 The Founding Father - The one constant in the first two decades of Colonial football was former head coach Joe Walton. Walton, the former NFL tight end and head coach of the New York Jets, started the program from scratch, completing everything from hiring assistants to purchasing equipment. He was named NEC Coach of the Year four times in 18 seasons and guided RMU to a pair of NCAA I-AA mid-major national crowns during his time on the sidelines. Walton, currently a special assistant to the athletic director at Robert Morris, was inducted into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame in November 2013. Get To The Chopper - A quick glance at RMU’s record when broken down proves how important it is the Colonials get off to a good start in contests. When Robert Morris is leading at halftime, the program owns an all-time record of 89-15 (.856). When trailing at the break, Robert Morris owns a mark of 14-80-1 (.153). Even going into halftime tied is beneficial, as the Colonials own an overall record of 14-9 (.609) in such games. The Magic Mark - Since the Colonials began play in 1994, there have been 77 games in which Robert Morris has scored 30 or more points. In those contests RMU boasts a record of 72-5 (.935), including a record of 43-5 (.896) in games in which the team scores between 30 and 39 points. In games in which the Colonials score 40 or more points, RMU is a perfect 29-0. RMU Football Historical Tidbits - The inaugural running back at Robert Morris, the late Tim Hall (1994-95), rushed for 2,908 yards in his two seasons as a Colonial. Hall still owns the FCS season and career records for yards per carry, with his season record of 8.7 yards per carry set in 1994 and his twoyear career record of 7.4 established in 1994 and 1995 ... Hall also ranks fourth all-time in the FCS in both rushing yards per game (153.1) and allpurpose yards per game (194.8) ... Former Colonial linebacker James Noel (2002-05) ranks sixth in the FCS record book for career tackles per game (10.7), while his career tackle total of 437 takedowns ranks 15th all-time ... Former linebacker and assistant coach Alex DiMichele (2008-10) averaged 10 tackles per game over his three years in a Robert Morris uniform, which ranks 13th all-time in the FCS record book ... Robert Morris has topped the nation in passing defense twice in the past 16 years, based on passing efficiency defense rating. The Colonials topped the charts in 1999 (with a 80.80 rating) as well as in 2006 (with a 88.70 rating). Did You Know? - Robert Morris owns the all-time FCS record for the most consecutive quarters while holding an opponent scoreless. During the 1996 season, the Colonials went 15 straight quarters without allowing a single point. In fact, the record-setting streak occurred at the beginning of the season. RMU posted three straight shutouts -- 20-0 against Mercyhurst (9/7), 38-0 against Butler (9/14) and 7-0 against Towson State (9/21) -- to open the campaign and then held Central Connecticut State (9/28) scoreless for the first three quarters before finally allowing a point for the first time all season. In all, Robert Morris went 234:04 before allowing a point in 1996. RMU went 9-2 (.818) in 1996, claiming a share of the NEC championship, and conceded just 12.9 points per game. The Last Time a Colonial ... Rushed for 200 or more yards in a game: Myles Russ, 246 (10/11/08 vs. Duquesne - span of 74 games) ... Passed for 300 or more yards in a game: Paul Jones, 321 (9/28/13 @ VMI - span of 21 games) ... Passed for 400 or more yards in a game: Rich Demaio, 444 (11/15/03 @ Duquesne - span of 122 games) ...

Robert Morris Captains Head coach John Banaszak announced after the team's final scrimmage that four Colonials will serve as captains in the 2015 season.

OFFENSE Redshirt senior Nick Faraci and senior Max Robertson are the team’s captains on offense. Faraci has started each of RMU’s past 36 games at center and was selected as an Academic All-American in 2014. Robertson started 31 games at left guard over the past three seasons, but he was shifted down a spot to left tackle prior to the 2015 season. DEFENSE Redshirt seniors Forrest Mason and Mike Stojkovic are the team’s captains on defense. Mason is a two-time AllNortheast Conference honoree and is one of just five defensive lineman in RMU history to earn multiple allleague honors. He owns 106 tackles and 11.0 sacks in his career. He became the first Colonial defensive lineman to be named NEC Defensive Player of the Week in over 15 years last October. Stojkovic, who served as a captain in the latter half of the 2014 season, was ranked among the top five in the league in tackles per game last year and totaled 82 stops. He owns 134 tackles and 14.0 tackles for loss in a Colonial uniform. The Texas native began his collegiate career at FBS institution North Texas.

Robert Morris By the Numbers

Colonials in the NFL

1-

The first Northeast Conference program to claim an automatic berth in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 2010

2 - Number of teams Robert Morris will face from the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2015, widely regarded as the best league at the FCS level

3-

Super Bowl championships won by RMU head coach John Banaszak as a defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers

4-

Number of distinct Colonials who were named NEC Rookie of the Week in 2014, tying a league record

5 - Consecutive seasons in which Robert Morris has faced at least one nationally ranked opponent entering 2015

6 - Northeast Conference championships (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2010) for RMU in the 20-year history of the league

9 - Number of receptions Kyle Buss posted in his third collegiate contest, breaking the RMU single-game rookie record

Since Robert Morris played its first season in 1994, three former Colonials have appeared in a game in the National Football League (NFL), the most among current NEC members in this span as of August 2015. Many players have “rewritten” record books at various schools. At Robert Morris, however, Tim Hall wrote the record book. Hall rushed for 2,908 yards on 393 carries in his two seasons in a Colonial uniform and was named an All-American by the Associated Press in 1995. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round (183rd player overall) in the 1996 NFL Draft. In 1997, he led the Raiders in yards per carry average with 5.2 and was second in rushing yards to Napolean Kaufman. On Sept. 30, 1998, Hall was shot and killed in Kansas City at age 24. Hank Fraley, who played on the offensive line for Robert Morris from 1996-1999, carved out a niche for himself in the NFL for over a decade. Fraley was a three-time Mid-Major All-American during his years at RMU before he was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers to a free-agent contract in April 2000. Fraley was later claimed by the Eagles and started at center for Philadelphia for the entire 2001 season, helping the team to the 2002 NFC Championship game. For four straight seasons with Fraley starting at center from 2002-05, the Eagles appeared in the NFC Championship game. In 2005, Fraley became the first RMU alum to appear in the Super Bowl when he started at center against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX. Former RMU defensive back Robb Butler played for the San Diego Chargers during the 2004 season and was featured in special teams situations, including returning kickoffs.

10 - This is the 10th consecutive year RMU played Dayton, the only non-conference foe on its 2015 slate it has faced previously

15 - All-time

Northeast Conference Offensive, Defensive or Rookie of the Year selections by Colonials

23 - Number of CoSIDA Academic All-District selections earned by Colonial football student-athletes in the past 12 seasons

27 - Number of Colonials who earned their first-career start during the 2014 season

66 - Number of yards true freshman Warren Robinson returned a punt for a touchdown in RMU's Homecoing victory

135 - All-time All-Northeast Conference First or Second Team selections collected by Colonials
