STEVE COLE
Assistant AD for Health Services
RENEE’ CORK
Senior Associate Athletic Trainer
ANDY CARTER
Associate Athletic Trainer
Steve Cole, Assistant Athletic Director for Health Services, enters his 23rd year at the helm of the William and Mary Sports Medicine program. One who is familiar with the logistics and scope of the sports medicine field on all levels, Cole has a comprehensive knowledge of the broad discipline and all its components. Under the direction of Cole, Tribe athletes have the luxury of rehabilitating and treating injuries in a state-of-the-art athletic training facility. There are seven full-time certified athletic trainers and two graduate assistants from the post-graduate athletic training educational program at Old Dominion University on staff. In addition, a group of undergraduate students serve as
12
athletic training aides and assist in the daily operation of the sports medicine program. A certified athletic trainer (NATABOC) and strength and conditioning specialist (NSCA), Cole graduated from West Virginia University in 1976 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and athletic training. He subsequently earned a master’s degree in sports medicine in 1978 from the University of Virginia. In 1997, Cole received his 25-year membership pin from NATA. He was also recognized for his service to the profession, receiving the Athletic Trainer Service Award, one of only three recipients from the Mid-Atlantic Region. In 2000, Cole was honored by the College for his many years of service to William and Mary with the recognition as an honorary alumnus. A true fitness buff, Cole is an exemplary model for all the athletes. He is an avid competitor who has participated in a variety of triathlons since 1980, spending countless hours of his spare time in training. Cole resides in Williamsburg with his wife Lonna, eight-year-old daughter Sydney Janaé, and three-year-old daughter Jahnessa Yaxin. Andy Carter joined the William and Mary staff in 2000 as an Associate Athletic Trainer. A William and Mary alumnus and former Tribe student athletic trainer, Andy returns to the Tribe sidelines for his second year as the Head Football Athletic Trainer, overseeing the sports medicine services for the team. He and his wife, Kristina, reside in Williamsburg. With 23 sports under his supervision, Cole receives plenty of assistance from his skilled, NATABOC-certified staff. Renee Cork, a graduate of Iowa State, is beginning her 14th year with the staff. She holds the title of Senior Associate Athletic Trainer. Cork recently received the Sport Safety Training Award from the Red Cross and is in charge of the CPR training
for all William and Mary coaches. In 2002, the governor of Virginia appointed Cork to the Athletic Training Advisory Board under the Board of Medicine. She is the only collegiate athletic trainer and the only female representative on the Advisory Board. John Knaul, a graduate of Alfred University, is in his sixth year as a Senior Assistant Athletic Trainer. Tyson Burton of Whitworth College returns this year as an Assistant Athletic Trainer. Two other Assistant Athletic Trainers will join the staff in the near future. Also, the two graduate assistants from the post-graduate athletic training program at ODU who will be serving on the Tribe’s staff are Jared Howell and Jason Hollar. Howell is a graduate of the College of Charleston, while Hollar attended James Madison University. In addition to the full-time athletic trainers, the sports medicine staff consists of a team physician and a network of physicians and medical specialists from the local community. A presence on the Tribe sideline for the past 40 years, retired Dr. George Oliver now holds the title of W&M’s team physician emeritus. Oliver was recognized by the College as an honorary alumnus three years ago. Michael Potter is in his fourth year on the staff as the team physician. The team physician oversees the full-time athletic training staff and has overall responsibility for supervising the sports medicine program. A family practice/sports medicine specialist, Potter earned his medical degree from Texas A&M. He completed his residency at the Riverside Family Practice in Newport News and his sports medicine fellowship at Wake Forest University. Potter is in private practice with Tidewater Physicians Multispecialty Group. The surgeons at Virginia Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, provide the team’s orthopedics care. Each brings a vast amount of experience to their positions, having worked and traveled on the international level as sports medicine physicians. Also assisting the Tribe is chiropractor Bob Pinto. John Mitrovic, another former Tribe football player who graduated in 1983, is the owner/director of Williamsburg Physical Therapy Center. He is a licensed physical therapist, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and a certified athletic trainer. Mitrovic works with the program as a physical therapy consultant. William and Mary’s “team approach” to health care allows the sports medicine program to offer a wide range of comprehensive service to the student-athletes in a caring, cooperative manner.

ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT STAFF In addition to the coaches on the playing fields and teachers in the classrooms, many others contribute vital efforts to the cause of William and Mary football. From the equipment manger and his staff, to the academic advisors, and to the sports psychologist, many different people give their time and energy to help the program. Jerry Fife is entering his fourth season as the head equipment manager at the College of William and Mary. Fife handles all of the equipment issues for the Tribe football squad, including ordering and maintaining all of the team’s gear. Fife came to the College from Ashland University, his alma mater, where he held the position of Head Equipment Coordinator from 1998-2001. Well-respected among his peers, Fife was recently named the District II Vice President of the Athletic Equipment Managers Association. He has also helped rewrite the AEMA certification exam and has chaired the association’s National Curriculum Committee since 2002. He has presented at the AEMA’s national convention in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. In addition to his work as the equipment manager, Fife also was an instructor of sports sciences at Ashland. After earning his undergraduate degree from Ashland in 1994, he began his career in the profession as a graduate assistant equipment coordinator, a position he held in 1996-97. He went on to earn a master’s degree from Ashland in 2001. He has continued his teaching career, having created and instructed an equipment class for the NIAAA. Fife is certified by the AEMA and has designed and maintained his own computer inventory program for use with student-athletes as well as a website which he uses to gather information from William and Mary student-athletes. Fife was married to the former Missy Harrison this past December, and the couple resides in Claremont, Virginia. Academic advising is of significant importance to the educational development of the student-athlete. W&M holds firm to the concept of “self-determination,” each individual is responsible for directing his own college experience. Comprehensive support services are provided for all students, including consultation with freshman and concentration faculty advisors. In addition, the department offers an academic support program for student-athletes with extensive tutorial opportunities, organized study groups and a monitored study hall with on-site tutors for modern languages and mathematics. Bill Bryant enters his eighth year as the College’s Director of Compliance. Bryant came to W&M with a diverse and well-rounded background in collegiate administration. Under the direction of Bryant, the compliance office works with the NCAA Clearinghouse to determine initial eligibility of all student-athletes and continues to monitor eligibility throughout their college careers. Bryant is also responsible for educating all student-athletes, coaches and staff
14
to the NCAA rules. Prior to arriving in Williamsburg, Bryant had spent seven years as the Assistant Athletic Director for Student Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh. In that capacity he was responsible for the development of academic programs for studentathletes, NCAA compliance and eligibility and served as the academic liaison for the football program. A 1970 graduate of Cal-Davis, Bryant also served three-year stints in similar positions at both Arizona State (1987-90) and Oregon (198487), where he also earned his M.S. in Physical Education. Bryant and his wife, JoAnn, are the parents of two children, Christy (28), a graduate of Bowling Green, and Bobby (23), an avid hockey player. Bobby was a member of the SUNY-Morrisville ice hockey team which won the Junior College National Championship four years ago. The academic support coordinator, Nancy Everson, is a member of the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics, the National Academic Advising Association, and serves as national chair of the NACADA commission on advising student-athletes. Everson is a graduate of William and Mary with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in educational policy, planning and leadership. With the assistance of interns from the Graduate School of Education, she monitors the academic progress of studentathletes, coordinates the tutorial and study programs, teaches classes on enhancing study skills and serves as a point of referral to campus counseling services as well as the Writing Resource Center, the Oral Communication Studio and Disability Services. Everson’s biggest asset to the athletic department is her care and concern for the student-athlete. She has the ability to direct student-athletes to the proper resources and to serve as a liaison between the athletic department and various campus entities. Cooperative arrangements exist within the College’s professional staff to provide specialized workshops, freshman orientation sessions and career development seminars to assist student-athletes in maximizing their potential. Another valuable member of the athletic department is sports psychologist Deidre Connelly, who is entering her 13th year with the William and Mary athletic department. Connelly came to the College from Iowa, where she was a professor and the director of the sport psychology program. She has been published many times and has been invited to speak at numerous conferences and seminars. Connelly received her undergraduate degree from the University of Bridgeport, and did graduate work at William and Mary. She received her master’s and Ph.D. in sports psychology from Virginia.

2005 OUTLOOK
The Tribe comes into 2005 loaded with experience and talent. Center Pat Mulloy, cornerback Stephen Cason, defensive end Adam OʼConnor, linebacker Chris Ndubueze and tight end Adam Bratton (pictured above, l-r) are just five of the teamʼs senior leaders and all-conference candidates.

Last season, in his milestone 25th season at the helm of Tribe football, head coach Jimmye Laycock orchestrated the finest season in the history of William and Mary’s program, as the 2004 squad won a schoolrecord 11 games, captured a share of the Atlantic 10 Championship, advanced to NCAA Semifinals for the first time in school history and finished the campaign ranked third in the nation, also a school-record. Now, with 17 starters returning from last season’s record-breaking team, and the emotions and effects of the College’s historic postseason run still resonating throughout Williamsburg and the Tribe football nation, the W&M faithful, and the I-AA football world, are anxiously waiting to see what Laycock and the 2005 edition have in store for an encore performance. While Laycock and his staff have earned the deserved reputation as an offensive powerhouse, it may well be the Green and Gold’s defense that takes the lead in 2005, as nine of the starting 11 return from last year. Senior returning All-American and preseason First Team All-Atlantic 10 defensive end Adam O’Connor headlines the returnees, coming off a season that saw him record career highs in tackles (53), TFLs (15.5) and sacks (8). Standing at 6-7, 285, O’Connor has the size, strength and experience to find a place amongst the premier defensive players in the nation for his senior season. Under the eye of first-year defensive coordinator, Matt McLeod, who was promoted from linebackers’ coach, the Tribe defense will look to improve upon its successful 2004 campaign, which saw the unit allow three fewer points, nearly 50 fewer rushing yards and nearly 65 fewer total yards per game than in 2003. Despite the loss of the national offensive player of the year, Payton Award-winning quarterback Lang Campbell, optimism on the flip side of the ball is still high, as Laycock welcomes back eight starters from 2004, including four of the five starting offensive linemen. Although the battle to gain Campbell’s vacated job will carry on into the fall, the featured offensive weapons will include junior tailback Elijah Brooks (661 yards, 5 TD), senior tight end Adam Bratton (16 rec., 215 yards, 4 TD) and sophomore wide receiver Joe Nicholas (66 rec., 799 yards, 6 TD). Bolstering the Tribe offense is the return of reigning A10 Special Teams Player of the Year and All-American place-kicker Greg Kuehn (1928 FG, 57-58 PAT), who led the nation in total field goals and tied a W&M single-season record with 114 points last fall.
The winningest coach in school history, Laycock has 125 more wins than his next-closest counterpart on the College’s career coaching victories list. Since Laycock took control in 1980, W&M has been to the NCAA playoffs on seven different occasions and posted winning seasons in 18 of his 25 seasons. With the stable of returning talent, the 2005 season should provide yet another chapter to the legacy of success Laycock has bestowed upon his alma mater. The following is a position-by-position look at the 2005 Tribe: OFFENSE QUARTERBACK Payton Award-winning and consensus All-American quarterback Lang Campbell gave the Tribe offense a premier player in terms of production, character and leadership. Certainly Campbell’s loss leaves a great void in the aforementioned areas, and while nobody will expect the three most-likely replacements - sophomore Mike Potts, redshirt freshman Jake Phillips or junior Christian Taylor - to step in and completely fill Campbell’s shoes (3,988 pass yds., 317 rush yds, 38 total TDs), the Tribe’s talent at QB has great promise. The standout spring turned in by the trio confirmed what many in the program had suspected; expectations, while tempered with the fact that no player is a tested starter, are high for the position. Potts enters the fall penciled in at the top of the depth chart and has the NFL prototypical size (6-4, 215) and arm strength to keep the College’s high-octane attack in full gear. He spent the last two seasons as Campbell’s understudy and brings an impressive scholastic playing resume that includes being named the state of Delaware’s Player of the Year in his senior season (2002). In three games of mop-up duty last year, he completed seven of the 17 passes he attempted for 84 yards and one TD. One of his strengths comes in his “feel” in the pocket, as he has built a solid base of knowledge for the offense in his time on campus. This poise and presence should only improve as he puts more reps under his belt. Off the field, Potts put in tireless hours in the team’s summer strength and conditioning program and positioned himself to enter camp in top physical condition.
2005 OUTLOOK Phillips (6-3, 200) has all the ability and intangibles to be an impact player as well. His athleticism compares favorably to Campbell’s, and his high school resume speaks for itself, as he graduated from Bath County High School after leading the team to a state title, a pair of runner-up finishes and a state semifinal Talented underclassman, sophomore Mike Potts and appearance (48redshirt freshmen Jake Phillips will battle for start- 4 overall record). ing QB duties this fall. With a versatile arm that is capable of many different throws, perhaps the most potent part of his game comes in the combination of speed and elusiveness, as his feet give the offense yet another dimension. While limited by just a spring’s worth of exposure to running with the first string offense, he displayed an ability to avoid trouble, extend plays and throw on the run. Like Potts, he also stayed for the summer and worked diligently to improve on his strength and conditioning and should be in top form for the fall. Taylor will enter the fall as the team’s most experienced quarterback. While he might not find himself in the mix for starting duties at the outset of camp, he brings the team valuable depth and a steady, reliable presence at the position. He will enter his third season of being a member of the travel squad and will be the team’s holder for placement kicks. Just like he has this summer with his participation in the off-season workout program, Taylor has concentrated on improving every facet of his game in his time on campus. His improved arm strength and leadership qualities make him a perfect reserve. Spring walk-on Obie Boykin rounds out the position and he will continue to work towards making improvements in the fall. TAILBACK/FULLBACK While the aerial achievements of the Tribe offense grab most of the headlines, it is a steady ground game that paves the way to victories. After putting together an impressive run of six-straight seasons with a 1,000-yard rusher (from 1993 to 1998), the Tribe has not seen a 1,000yard season since Hameen Ali in 1998 (1,022 yards). While that might not change this season, it won’t be for lack of a back capable of the feat, but more likely the presence of too many. Rising junior tailback Elijah Brooks had an outstanding 2004 as the team’s second-leading rusher (661 yards on 159 carries) and will enter the fall as the starter. A multifaceted and reliable back, perhaps the most impressive accomplishment last season was the way he came on during the playoffs. In the opening round victory over Hampton, Brooks churned out a career and W&M season-high 120 yards on the ground over 17 carries. In the quarterfinal win over Delaware, Brooks piled up 82 yards on just nine carries, including the career-long 56-yard run he ripped off in the first quarter to set up W&M’s first score. Counting the semifinal vs. JMU, Brooks totaled 237 rushing yards in the Tribe’s three playoff games, nearly 36% of his entire rushing production on the year.
He also proved to be a reliable receiver, as he accounted for 211 yards on 26 catches for the season. This feat was all accomplished while he battled nagging knee injuries, which were resolved in time for spring drills when he showed improved quickness and speed. Both fans and coaches alike will be excited about the healthy return of junior tailback Delmus Coley (who missed 2004 with a knee injury). Coley’s redshirtfreshman season saw Hard-running junior TB Elijah Brooks leads a him mature into one talented running back corps for the Tribe. of the league’s more dangerous big-play threats when he rushed for 488 yards on just 101 carries. His emergence that year coincided with a late-season Tribe surge that saw the team win its final five games and Coley rush to threeconsecutive 100-yard afternoons. After a solid showing this spring, expectations are that he will return in the fall at full strength and give the offense a back with game-breaking speed and elusiveness. Fellow junior Trevor McLaurin enters the fall listed as the team’s starter at fullback after missing the majority of last season with a knee injury. His healthy return will give the College yet another capable back that can contribute both with and without the ball. At 5-11, 225 pounds, McLaurin brings a dangerous combination of power and speed to the backfield. Despite the listing as a fullback, he can easily make the switch to tailback if called upon, and is one of the team’s most disciplined and hardest workers. Perhaps the “truest” fullback on the squad is sophomore Matt Otey, who saw significant action last season. He brings outstanding strength and blocking ability to the ground game, while also giving a pair of sure hands to the air attack. Junior LeVince Parrott is another versatile fullback who has outstanding hands. He brings the staff flexibility, as he also has the athleticism to see time at tailback. Sophomore Tony Viola and redshirt freshman DeBrian Holmes only add to the depth and potential for the tailback position. Viola is a talented, physical all-around back that has contributed at both tailback and fullback and is one of the team’s hardest runners. Holmes impressed in the spring and is seen as the team’s quickest back with the most explosion. He has the potential to make an immediate impact with both his hands and feet. The staff will also watch the development of bruising fullback Graham Falbo with interest, as the converted center has great size (6-1, 240) and showed potential in his first extended time at the position this spring. Offensive Line With the combination of a first-year starter at quarterback and a talented crew of running backs, nothing can comfort the offensive staff more than the realization that four of the five offensive linemen return from 2004, led by center and team quad-captain Pat Mulloy (6-4, 300) and junior all-conference guard Cody Morris (6-4, 285). The pair teamed with guard Ryan Lumm (6-3, 270) and left tackle Mike Grenz (63, 295) to play the majority of the last two full seasons together, includ-

2005 OUTLOOK ing all 14 games last year. The corps is the most veteran position on the offense and will be expected to be the team’s leaders on and off the field. Mulloy has been starting since his redshirt freshman season (2002) and will be a strong candidate for postseason accolades. A true coach on the field for the College, Mulloy has proven to be one of the most consistent and physical players in the conference. As the team’s stronJunior all-conference guard Cody Morris is gest player (440-plus one of the Atlantic 10ʼs premier lineman. pound bench, 510pound squat) and one of the most dedicated students of the game, Mulloy has a unique blend of physical and mental toughness that makes him an outstanding leader. Morris earned his first all-conference recognition after just one season as a full-time starter at right guard and seems poised to continue to collect the honor in the seasons to come. While he also combines strength and toughness, what separates him from the pack is his outstanding technique and consistency. A tireless worker, his willingness to improve should position him to challenge for national honors. The starting left guard for the past two seasons, Lumm brings a steady, veteran presence to the unit. While he doesn’t posses a dominating physical presence, he more than makes up any size he gives up by playing with good leverage and technique. A tough and durable player, he has made every start over the last 24 contests. After making the switch from right to left tackle this spring, Grenz will be making his first start beside Lumm this season. While it will be his first start on the QB’s blind side, he is far from inexperienced, as he also comes into the season having started the last 24 games. Proficient and proven at guard, tackle or center, Grenz is the most versatile lineman on the squad. A savvy veteran who is a consistent performer, Grenz also contributes on special teams as the starting short snapper. With 91 combined games of starting experience lining up beside him, first-year starting right tackle Brad Stewart should have a wealth of help in coming up to speed with the offense. Standing at 6-3, 290 pounds, he brings another physical presence to the front five. A standout spring earned him the starting nod, while his willingness and desire to improve gives him great future potential. Senior Matt Ridjaneck (6-5, 285) is the team’s “sixth” lineman and brings the unit reliable and experienced depth. A fifth-year senior who has worked hard at becoming one of the squad’s strongest players, Ridjaneck brings intensity to every snap and enters the season listed as a guard. Redshirt freshman Luke Hiteshew (6-1, 280) is a former walk-on who is listed as the other top reserve at guard. He turned in a very solid spring and showed the strength and toughness to position himself as a potential contributor this season. Fellow redshirt freshman Jonathan Shafran (6-3, 280) showed tremendous improvement in his size and strength this off season and will continue to develop. Depth at the tackle position is provided by massive sophomore Brent Cochran (6-4, 305) and redshirt freshman Michael Grant (6-5, 285), who are each seen as building blocks for the future. Cochran worked

hard on improving his size and strength and is coming off a solid offseason in which he has matured into a young player with a bright future, while Grant looks to make the same step and commitment to the weight room this fall. Sophomore Justin Oliver also has the potential to be a physical presence, but will be forced to sit out this season with a medical condition. One of the better surprises of the spring camp came in the form of transfer center, sophomore Tim Kelley (6-2, 300) as the transplant from the Air Force Academy picked up the offense quickly and earned the second spot on the depth chart. A pair of redshirt freshmen, Ryan Skibinski (6-1, 265) and Michael Haley (6-1, 265), will continue to gain size and experience while adding depth to the position this fall. Tight End Working hand-in-hand with all the returning talent and experience on the offensive line will be a formidable lineup of equally accomplished tight ends. The return of rising senior Adam Bratton (6-4, 250) and junior Matt Trinkle (6-5, 250) provides a significant amount of experience and physicality to the Tribe’s offensive front in 2005. Even more promising is their collective receiving threat, as the duo combined for 32 catches for 386 yards and six touchdowns in 2004. Bratton hauled in 16 spirals for 215 yards and four touchdowns, while Trinkle added 16 receptions for 171 yards and a pair of scores. In fact, the pair gave W&M its best one-two punch at tight end since 1991, when Michael Locke and Joe Person combined for 53 receptions that went four 726 yards and eight touchdowns. Bratton, who earned the team’s Winter Warrior Award this offseason, has an unparalleled work ethic and is solid in all facets of the position. He comes into his senior season poised to gain postseason accolades and has the potential to be one of the dominant ends in the conference. Perhaps his best competition for the honors will come from his Junior TE Matt Trinkle teams with Adam Bratown teammate, as ton to give the Tribe two all-conference caliber Trinkle possess many ends who can contribute in many ways. of the same qualities and provides a large and sure-handed target. Trinkle is a very good athlete who runs precise routes and has improved his run blocking in each of his four seasons on campus. Fellow junior Jordan Troester (6-3, 225) is also game-tested and will be a more than a capable reserve. He has consistently added size and strength and is solid with his alignments and assignments. Redshirt freshman Evan Murro (6-6, 235) joined Troester in turning in a standout spring and has shown vast improvement over the course of a year on campus and has the potential to become a contributor this fall. Sophomores Mark Ely and Andrew Atchison will enter the fall looking to continue their development and gain experience.
2005 OUTLOOK Wide Receiver
Past the starting two wide outs, the next players on the depth chart, redshirt freshmen Joe Marianacci and Elliot Mack lack the game experience, but bring an exciting mixture of speed and athleticism to the field. Mack has the burst and pure speed to be an immediate threat in the vertical attack and will be counted on to continue the development he showed this spring. Marianacci, who attended the same high school as Tribe great Rich Musinski, earned his spot on the depth chart by showing sure hands and an ability to make plays during a solid spring. The reserve ranks are not completely void of experience, as junior Corey Davis saw spot duty last season. A converted quarterback, he has an in-depth experience with the offense and above average speed. Junior John Taylor and sophomore Paris Jackson also figure to make steady appearances in the receiving rotation this fall. While both could see action out wide, they are the prime candidates to man the H-back position as a slot receiver. Taylor had a limited role in the rotation last season and has a good grasp of the offense. Already a physical player with good hands, he worked hard in the offseason to add strength and will look to be more of a factor in both the run and pass games this fall. Jackson has battled through injuries to emerge as a possible playmaker. He turned in a solid spring and displayed good athleticism and ball skills. A crew of redshirt freshmen in Darren Dixon, David Houff, Brett Phillips and Cody Tomon will come into the fall looking to continue the transition to the collegiate game while adding depth to the squad.
The Tribe’s receiving corps comes into the fall with an interesting mix of gametested veterans and raw athletic talent. While the graduation of WR Dominique Thompson (79 rec., 1585 yards, 13 TDs) stands as another glaring omission from the explosive 2004 squad, which set the school’s single season record for total yards (6,044) and points (486), there is a stable of talented returnWR Joe Nicholas was a major factor in the ees anxious to fill his Tribeʼs success of 2004 and will come into ʻ05 shoes.

A physical run stopper, Turner will see more defensive reps with continued hard work on footwork and tackling technique. A host of youngsters in sophomore Ryan Horvath and redshirt freshmen Josh Rutter, Danny Mazur and Todd Reyher add further depth to the position and will look to crack the rotation. Horvath worked hard in the spring after moving from fullback to gain an understanding of the defense and could have a role on special teams in the fall. Rutter is slated to back up on the weak side after an outstanding spring session and with good speed and athleticism will challenge for playing time in the fall. Mazur is a hard worker with a great understanding of the schemes and could be an impact player on special teams with continued progress in the weight room. Reyher was a pleasant surprise in spring drills and is a smart, physical player with good size. Secondary Although the defensive backs will be under the eye of a new position coach in Scott Boone in 2005, the majority of personnel will be the same this season, which could lead to multiple all-conference citations. In fact, the Tribe returns five defensive backs with significant starting experience, including both senior safeties who each started all 14 games last season. Leading the way is free safety James Miller, the cornerstone of the secondary, if not the entire defensive unit. Miller is coming off a breakout season which saw him post 114 total tackles, the second-best mark on the squad, three interceptions and nine pass breakups, and he will be counted on for much of the same in 2005 as one of the squad’s top play-making threats. His big-play ability was best on display in the win at Liberty, when he intercepted a pass and ripped off a wild 70-yard return, the longest by any Tribe defender in 2004. Miller registered five double-figure tackle efforts, including a season-high 15 in the opener at North Carolina and 14 in the NCAA semifinals against JMU. A fearless tackler who flies to the ball, Miller’s offseason weight room and technique work will improve his tackling and should lead to postseason accolades. Fellow senior Jon Shaw stepped into the starting strong safety spot last season and turned in an outstanding year, improving throughout the season. A competitive, physical player with a solid work ethic, Shaw stabilizes the secondary and, combined with Miller, gives the Tribe a formidable presence in the middle of the field. In his first full season as a starter, Shaw turned in 74 total tackles, including 45 solos, 3.5 TFLs, a sack and two interceptions. With a strong offseason in the weight room, Shaw’s tackling technique will improve and will lead to even greater contributions Jon Shaw is a big hitting veteran safety who in 2005. can lend a physical presence at either the line of scrimmage or in coverage.
Competing for backup spots at both safety positions will be sophomore Brandon Burrow and junior Zach Stout. Burrow is a physical, speedy defender who improved through the fall and had an outstanding spring. With the desire to improve and a strong work ethic, Burrow will be counted on for significant contributions on special teams and will see playing time at both safety positions. Stout is a technically and mentally sound athlete who is also Senior free safety James Miller is one of the top versatile enough to athletes on the squad and has the potential to play both safety posi- challenge for national honors this fall. tions. A key special teams performer in the fall, Stout will once again be counted on for special teams contributions and with improved work ethic and strength could earn a backup role at strong safety. Redshirt freshman Kevin Allen, sophomore Leonard Muldrow and redshirt freshman Alex Cramer add depth to the safety spots and will continue to improve with exposure to the game. Allen is a big, rangy athlete with an excellent burst whose play-making ability could have him challenging for a backup role at free safety in the fall and contributing on special teams. Muldrow moved to strong safety from linebacker in spring drills after missing much of the fall season with injury. With continued improvement on technique and assignments at the position, Muldrow’s athleticism and physical presence could translate to playing time on defense, but he will be a heavy contributor on special teams. Cramer is a smart player who shows good effort and must improve speed and strength to contribute in the fall. Returning all-conference senior Stephen Cason is slated to start at one of the corner positions and could challenge for national honors by season’s end. After missing all of 2003, Cason returned with a fury last season to play in all 14 games, with nine starts, and recorded 74 total tackles, 57 solos, 7.5 TFLs and one interception en route to second team all-league honors. One of the team’s best all-around athletes, Cason has the skill and ability to be one of the league’s dominant cover men and is also an elite open-field tackler with the ability to make plays in the backfield on blitzes (2.5 sacks in 2004). He turned in one of the biggest plays in the Tribe’s postseason run, intercepting a pass on the first play of the fourth quarter in the NCAA quarterfinal win over Delaware, returning it 62 yards for a touchdown to ignite an unforgettable 21-point rally in the final period to force overtime. Junior Alan Wheeling also returns at corner with starting experience and is coming off a good spring performance. A technically sound player with a great understanding of the schemes, Wheeling relies on his tremendous instincts and form tackling to make plays. With possibly the best ball skills and ball awareness at the position (INT, 7 PBUs in 2004), Wheeling also has big-play potential. Also in the starting mix at corner is junior Richard Riley. A long, physical defender, Riley started 13 games in 2004 and finished with 50 total tackles, including 33 solo stops. One of the most improved players through the fall, Riley again made strides with a strong spring session working on improving technique and ball skills. With great size for the

2005 OUTLOOK position, he can make up and cover a lot of ground quickly. Sophomore David Page enters the fall looking for playing time and is slated to back up at the corner position. Page saw action in all 14 games and was a huge contributor on special teams, in addition to outstanding play in the Tribe’s nickel package. A hard worker with good speed and an explosive burst, Page gives consistent effort on every play and increased strength and technique will translate to more reps. Adding to the depth at corner are redshirt freshman Derek Cox and junior Cedric Slye, who will both compete for a backup role in the fall. Cox has continued to improve in the program and is coming off a solid spring game, which saw him record an interception, forced fumble, three PBUs and a TFL. With a long, lean body type for the position, Cox has the instincts and athleticism to get to the ball and will challenge for playing time in the fall. Slye is a good athlete who continues to work on developing technique and knowledge of the defense. SPECIAL TEAMS

One has to go back nine seasons (1996) to find the last time a Tribe place-kicker failed to receive some sort of postseason recognition. Laycock’s proficiency in producing standout kickers is almost as great as his legacy with quarterbacks. In what has become an annual right of fall, the 2005 season should be no different, as All-American placekicker Greg Kuehn returns for his senior season. The reigning Atlantic 10 Special Team Player of the Year can lay a legitimate claim to being one of the most experienced and game-tested kickers in the nation, as he has started 46-straight games for the Tribe and connected on 46-of67 (.687) career field goal attempts and 123 of his 127 extra point attempts. Kuehn tied Robert Green’s school record for points in a season with 114 in 2004, and seems a virtual lock to break current NFL kicker Steve Christie’s school career scoring mark (279), as he enters 2005 with 261 career points. For the first time in three seasons, the Tribe will be breaking in a new punter. Fortunately, the competition is between two capable legs in juniors Blair Pritchard and Corey Davis. Pritchard has a powerful leg, and is the backup for Kuehn on placement kicks, while Davis also boasts a strong leg and brings athleticism to the position. The battle in camp was very competitive and will continue to play out in the fall. The College returns reliable short snapper, Mike Grenz for his third season of handling the placement kick duties. The team will break in a new holder, as Christian Taylor will assume the role after Lang Campbell handled the position for the last three seasons. Either Josh Wright or Thad Wheeler will handle long snapping, as both have game experience at the crucial position. Return duties will be handled from a mixed bag of potential playmakers. Jon Shaw returns with the most experience in returning punts, Simply put, by any measure and at any level, senior Greg Kuehn enters the 2005 season as as he handled 31 returns last season for one the nationʼs premier placekickers.
243 yards. However, Stephen Cason and Josh Lustig also figure into the mix at the position as well. That same pair, along with Elijah Brooks should make up the competition for kick return duties, as well. Cason is one of the most explosive players on the roster and has the ability to break a big play from any spot on the field, while Lustig is the most experienced kick returner on the roster, as he has handled the duties over each of the Senior team quad-captain Josh Lustig brings past two seasons. solid leadership and play making ability to both the receiving corps and return teams.
SCHEDULE As much as winning seasons and potent offenses have become common place at William and Mary, so has a demanding and difficult schedule for the Green and Gold. The 2005 campaign will be no different, as W&M will square off against a Division I-A foe and three I-AA NCAA playoff participants from 2004, including the defending national champion, in addition to the always challenging Atlantic 10 schedule. For the fourth consecutive season, the Tribe will open the year on the road at a Division I-A opponent with Marshall of the Mid-American Conference hosting the College on Thursday, Sept. 1. After a bout with the Thundering Herd, the slate gets no easier as the Tribe plays its next two games on the road as well. W&M visits annual state rival VMI in Lexington on Sept. 10, before opening league play at Rhode Island on Sept. 17. Through a scheduling quirk, the date at URI will mark the 10th consecutive season that W&M has started conference play away from Williamsburg. The Tribe will put its seven-game regular season home winning streak on the line for the first time on Sept. 24 with a Family Weekend contest against state-rival Liberty. After a bye week, W&M welcomes NCAA playoff participant and A10 Northern Division defending champion New Hampshire to Zable Stadium on Oct. 8. A trip to Northeastern on Oct. 15 is up next for the Tribe, before returning to Zable to host Towson in the annual Homecoming contest on Oct. 22. Conference play continues the next week, as W&M once again hits the road and visits Villanova on Oct. 29. The action heats up in November, when the Tribe entertains defending national champion James Madison and 2003 national champion Delaware in consecutive weeks in Williamsburg. The Dukes come calling on Nov. 5 for a rematch of last year’s historic semifinal at Zable, while the Blue Hens return on Nov. 12 for a rematch of last season’s quarterfinal, double-overtime thriller on Cary Field. Finally, the Green and Gold close the 2005 regular season with the 115th installment of the “Oldest Rivalry in the South”, as W&M travels to Richmond on Nov. 19.

THE ATLANTIC 10 FOOTBALL CONFERENCE In the short history of the Atlantic 10 Football Conference, the league has become the premier conference in I-AA. The 2004 season not only reaffirmed this notion, it elevated the Atlantic 10 to one of the best football conferences in all of Division I, as evidenced by the Conference’s No. 9 ranking among all Division I conferences in the final Sagarin Ratings, ahead of every I-AA league as well as Conference USA and the Sun Belt and Mid-American Conferences. James Madison claimed the 2004 I-AA national championship with a 31-21 win over Montana and in the process became the first program to reach the championship game by winning three road playoff games since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986. With Delaware registering the lone shutout in the 27-year history of the championship en route to capturing the 2003 crown, the Atlantic 10 became the first Conference to have two different teams win the I-AA title in consecutive seasons. JMU is the third team from the A10 to claim the national title, joining Delaware and Massachusetts, which defeated Georgia Southern, 55-43, to claim the 1998 title. Delaware and James Madison were joined in the 16-team I-AA playoff field in 2004 by New Hampshire and William & Mary, giving the Conference a record four teams in the postseason. It marked the 14th consecutive year that multiple A-10 teams reached the playoffs, the longest active streak among conferences. Moreover, all four teams advanced to the quarterfinals, a first for any conference. Since the start of the 2000 season, 10 of the league’s 12 current members have advanced to the playoffs. For just the second time in Conference history, three Atlantic 10 programs (JMU - 13, WM - 11, UNH, 10) reached double-digits in wins in 2004 and over the past three seasons, eight different A-10 teams have won at least 10 games. With victories by Maine over Mississippi State and New Hampshire versus Rutgers in 2004, an Atlantic 10 team has defeated a I-A program in six of the last seven seasons. Moreover, the Conference has won multiple contests versus I-A foes in four of the past five years. The accolades, however, were not limited to team success in 2004 as Lang Campbell of William & Mary became the fourth player and first quarterback in A-10 history to be named the recipient of the prestigious Walter Payton Award, presented to the most outstanding player in I-AA. Campbell was one of 20 standouts from the Conference to garner All-America honors, the most of any league. In addition, Shannon James of Massachusetts and Northeastern linebacker Liam Ezekiel each finished in the top 10 in voting for the Buck Buchanan Award, presented to the top defensive player in I-AA. Campbell joins former Villanova standouts Brian Westbrook (2001) and Brian Finneran (1997) and New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) as Walter Payton Award winners from the A10. In 2001, linebacker Derrick Lloyd of James Madison became the first A-10 player to win the Buck Buchanan Award, marking the first time in I-AA history that the winners of the Walter Payton and Buck Buchanan Awards hailed from the same conference. Twice in league history has an Atlantic 10 coach been honored with the Eddie Robinson Award, with current A-10 coaches Andy Talley of Villanova and Mickey Matthews of James Madison winning the award in 1997 and 1999, respectively. The Atlantic 10 Football Conference officially assumed operational control of the Yankee Conference on July 1, 1997, marking the end of a 50-year legacy. Yet a new era began in collegiate football. Delaware, Hofstra, James Madison, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Northeastern, Rhode Island, Richmond, Towson,
Villanova, and William & Mary make up the 12-team membership of the league. The Atlantic 10 Football Conference traces its roots to December 3, 1946 when the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Originally established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members of the Yankee Conference included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. In 1973, Boston University joined the Conference as its first non-land grant institution. After the 1974 season, Vermont withdrew from the league. Then, upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Membership remained stable until 1986 when Delaware and Richmond were admitted. Villanova gained admittance in 1988 and, in 1993, the Conference grew again with James Madison, Northeastern, and William & Mary joining the league. Boston University withdrew from the league when it suspended its football program following the 1997 season. Connecticut withdrew following the 1999 season and Hofstra was added beginning with the 2001 campaign. Towson played its first season of Atlantic 10 Football Conference competition in 2004. Since 1978, Atlantic 10 Football Conference members have accumulated 59 playoff berths, 14 Lambert Cups, 70 final top 25 rankings, and 32 final top 10 rankings. The Conference is fully intent on remaining the best NCAA I-AA conference in the country. In light of the success achieved by the Yankee Conference since 1947 and the Atlantic 10 Football Conference since 1997, the Atlantic 10 figures to continue its national prominence in 2005.

HEAD COACH JIMMYE LAYCOCK
When Jimmye Laycock returned to coach his alma mater prior to the 1980 season, he inherited a program that had won six or more games in a season just four times in the previous 25 years. Few could have predicted that the College would produce more than three times that amount of seven-win seasons over the next quarter century. As the architect of what is easily the most extended run of success in William and Mary’s 112-year football history, Laycock has never compromised academic standards for athletic success and has steadily built his program into a point of pride for the campus, alumni and community. While no one season can define a career that spans more than two and a half decades, Laycock’s 25th year at the top of the Tribe program accentuated what is at the heart of his basic principles for success; character, discipline and attention to details will lead to success. And, the 2004 team experienced levels of success never before reached at the College. William and Mary set a school record for wins (11), won the Atlantic 10 Football Conference’s automatic NCAA bid, hosted a NCAA semifinal game before a standing room only crowd at Zable in front of a national television audience and finished the year with a school record No. 3 final national ranking. Along the way, a bevy of school single-season records fell; total points (486), total yards (6,044), home wins (seven), to name just a few. But, none of these achievements spoke more succinctly to Laycock’s approach than the program’s 100% official NCAA graduation-rate report for all studentathletes receiving athletics aid. This showed W&M graduated all of its football players that entered the program as freshman during 199798 school year. The Tribe not only carried the highest graduation rate in the conference, but also was far and away the top figure of any team ranked in the final national top 25. Only fourthranked Furman (81%) was within 20 percentage points of the College. In fact, William and Mary is one of only four teams in the entire I-AA top 25 to have a graduation rate of 70%, or better. When looking at the I-AA football world, Tribe’s stellar 156-65-2 (.702) record against fellow I-AA foes during Laycock’s career also confirms the success of his formula. The College
36
also boasts a 66-33 mark in league play and has had a league-high 117 student-athletes named to all-conference honors since 1993. The 2001 campaign stood as a testament to Laycock’s program’s stability, as the team rebound from a nine-year low 5-6 record in 2000 to post an 8-4 mark, claiming a share of the Atlantic 10 Crown and earning a spot in the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs. Laycock is the Tribe’s winningest coach, boasting a career 170-113-2 (.599) record. Since Laycock’s first season in 1980, the College has had 18 winning ledgers in the last 22 years and has played in postseason games in nine of the last 19 seasons. The 1996 campaign is another prime example of how Laycock has perpetuated a winning tradition within W&M’s rigorous classroom standards, as he led a youth-laden squad to a quarterfinal showing in the NCAA playoffs, a 103 overall record (7-1 in league play), the Tribe’s first Yankee Conference Championship and a school record fifth-place national ranking. One trademark of a Laycock-coached team is a prolific and intricate offensive attack. The Tribe offense averaged better than 420 yards and 26 points over the 115 games it played in the 1990s. Prior to the 2004 campaign, the 1990 season stood as the benchmark for the Tribe program. That season, Laycock was honored by his peers as Coach of the Year in Region II and the state of Virginia for guiding the Tribe to 10 wins and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the Division I-AA playoffs. That 1990 squad, ranked No. 7 in the final NCAA poll, refashioned many pages in the school record book. W&M led the country in total offense by averaging almost 500 yards per game and claimed the Lambert Cup for I-AA supremacy in the East. Even the Virginia General Assembly passed a resolution commending Laycock accomplishments. The Tribe’s 1996 squad led the conference in both total offense and defense on its way to earning its own Lambert Cup and ECAC Team of the Year honors. Laycock has made the home turf in Zable Stadium into unfriendly territory for opponents as the Tribe has won 78.8 percent of its games (87-23-1) there in the last 21 years. Counting last season, W&M has turned in seven undefeated regular season home campaigns in the last 16 years. After some lean years early in his tenure, Laycock’s teams began building respectability among all opponents. After a pair of 6-5 seasons, W&M carved out a 7-4 mark in 1985 and a national ranking of No. 16. The winning ways continued in 1986 with a 9-3 record and an eighth-place ranking. In that historic season, the Tribe advanced to the I-AA playoffs for the first time and had three players drafted by the NFL. Although William and Mary dipped to a 5-6 slate in 1987, the Tribe recovered to post a 6-4-1 overall record in 1988. That memorable season climaxed with a trip to Japan and a 73-3 victory over the Japanese College All-Stars in the first Epson Ivy Bowl. The Tribe returned to the

HEAD COACH JIMMYE LAYCOCK NCAAs in 1989 with an 8-2-1 regular season record. Laycock has also tutored 30 players to 75 All-America honors from the William and Mary ranks and has coached six Academic All-Americans. Quarterback Lang Campbell is the most decorated of all, as the 2004 season saw him earn the prestigious Payton Award, given annually to the nation’s top offensive player in the I-AA ranks, consensus first team All-American honors, as well as the A10’s Offensive Player of the Year and Academic Player of the Year. The record-setting tandem of quarterback Campbell and wide out Dominique Thompson each signed free agent contracts, with the Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams, respectively, in the spring of 2005, joining free safety Darren Sharper (Minnesota Vikings), a second round draft pick of the Green Bay in 1997, defensive back Billy Parker (Miami Dolphins) and Mike Leach (Denver Broncos) as representatives of the Green and Gold in the NFL ranks. Michael Clemons (Class of 1987) had been one of the CFL’s most explosive players since joining the Toronto Argonauts in 1989, a team he now coaches. As a 1970 graduate of the College, Laycock played football under two gurus of the game. For three years, he learned the details under the watchful eyes of Coach Marv Levy, the legendary former head coach of the Buffalo Bills. In his last season, collegiate coaching legend Lou Holtz schooled Laycock in the finer aspects of psyche and motivation. As a sophomore, Laycock was a starter in the defensive secondary, but he was soon switched to quarterback where he completed 96 of 218 passes for 1,366 yards. Laycock’s first full-time coaching position came at The Citadel as the offensive backfield coach under Bobby Ross, who went on to coach the NFL’s San Diego Chargers and Detroit Lions. In 1975, Memphis State tabbed Laycock as its quarterbacks coach and he helped the Tigers to consecutive 7-4 records. In 1977, Laycock traveled to Clemson to serve as offensive coordinator for three years. Under his tutelage, the Tigers went 8-3-1, 11-1 and 8-4. Clemson played in bowl games each year, defeating Ohio State 17-15 in the 1978 Gator Bowl. At that time, Laycock coached two-time All-ACC performer Steve Fuller, the Tiger quarterback who later played in the NFL, and Dwight Clark, an All-Pro receiver for the 49ers. A native Virginian, Laycock played football, basketball and baseball

The Talk About Laycock Joe Gibbs - Washington Redskins Head Coach “Coach Laycock has shown that he has one of the more creative offenses in college football.

“I’ve always admired the work that Jimmye’s done at William and Mary. He’s very well-respected throughout the coaching fraternity. He’s the right man for the right college.” Darren Sharper - Two-time Pro Bowl safety “Coach Laycock knew from the time that he was recruiting me what position was best for me to reach my ultimate potential. Joining the Tribe family turned out to be the best situation for me to grow as a person and as a player. Without being a part of this family, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today.” Mike Tomlin - Defensive Backs Coach, Tampa Bay Buccaneers “William and Mary sets the stage to address the challenges you face. Coach Jimmye Laycock has been the blueprint for me. He is what the job of coaching is all about.”

ASSISTANT COACHES
38
W&M coaching icon Zbig Kepa enters his 22nd year on the Tribe coaching staff as one of the most respected offensive coaches in the Atlantic 10. The 2004 season validated this respect, as he helped organize an offense that averaged better than 420 yards and 26 points a game. Kepa joined the Tribe in 1984 as a part-time assistant coach working primarily with the defense. The following year Kepa became a full-time assistant and moved to offense where he took charge of the receivers. Kepa primarily recruits the Peninsula and Northern Neck areas in Virginia. He also recruits eastern Pennsylvania. Since joining the offensive staff, Kepa has helped develop one of the most productive offenses in I-AA football. The 1996 team led the conference in total offense, while the 1993 unit finished sixth in the nation in total yards with the second-highest total (5,504) in school history. Overall, the Tribe is averaging nearly 400 yards of total offense per game during Kepa’s 10-year stint as the offensive coordinator. This past season, he oversaw the most prolific single-season receiving performance in school history by Dominique Thompson (1,585 yards; 79 receptions; 13 TDs). Kepa also mentored the school’s all-time leading receiver, Rich Musinski (‘04), who became just the third player in I-AA history to surpass the 4,000-yard career receiving mark. Kepa’s receivers dominate the W&M record book, as seven of the top 10 all-time career receiving yardage leaders were developed under his mentorship. Prior to Musinski, the most prolific of the group was 2000 graduate Dave Conklin (1996-99), who left the College as the all-time leader in receiving yards (3,269), catches (190) and TD catches (27).

2004 SEASON REVIEW
74
The 2004 football season was one for the ages at William and Mary, as the program reached unparalleled heights by advancing to the national semifinals for the first time in school history. After winning a share of the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship with a 9-2 regular season record, 7-1 in league play, the Tribe received a national seeding heading into the I-AA playoffs, a designation that would lead to perhaps one of the most significant moments in William and Mary athletics’ history. That moment was a nationally-televised Friday night NCAA semifinal contest against state and conference-rival James Madison at Zable Stadium. It was the first night game played within the confines of the 70-year old campus landmark and the school-record eighth home game of the season. The epic match up produced a sellout, as a more-than-capacity crowd, which included Governor Mark Warner and Senator George Allen, alongside gold-clad W&M students, braved a rain-soaked evening to witness a truly historic night in Virginia college football history. After spotting the eighth-ranked Dukes a 21-0 first-quarter lead, the Tribe rallied behind national player of the year, Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Lang Campbell. The All-American senior quarterback rushed for a score and threw a nine-yard TD pass to redshirt freshman Joe Nicholas, and AllAmerican Greg Kuehn kicked a pair of field goals, including a 42yarder as time expired in the first half, to cut the deficit to 21-20 at the break. W&M kept the momentum going to start the third, as Campbell hit senior All-American wide receiver Dominique Thompson on a seven-yard strike to give the Tribe its first lead, 26-21. The advantage was short-lived however, as JMU engineered a twoplay scoring drive on its next series and took advantage of two costly Tribe turnovers to reel off 27-straight points en route to the victory and eventually the national championship. The College reached the semifinals with a memorable double-overtime victory over reigning I-AA national champion Delaware in Williamsburg the previous week, in what was the first-ever quarterfinal playoff game hosted by W&M. Trailing 3110 heading into the fourth quarter, junior cornerback Stephen Cason ignited an unforgettable Tribe comeback, as he intercepted a pass on the first play of the quarter and raced 62 yards for a touchdown. Senior Jon Smith rushed for a score and Campbell completed a 15-yard scoring toss to Nicholas with 1:51 remaining to force overtime, Dominique Thompson set single-season re- tied at 31-31. cords for receiving yards (1,585), receptions In the second extra (79) and all-purpose yards (2,174) in 2004. session, Smith scored on a seven-yard run
W&M captured a share of the Atlantic 10 Championship and the I-64 Trophy with its season-ending victory over archrival Richmond. It was the Tribeʼs third conference title in the last nine years.
and the Tribe defense held on a fourth-and-goal play from the nine, as the 2004 squad became the first in school history to win 11 games in a season. The victory was also W&M’s seventh at Zable Stadium, which matched the school record for home wins in a season. Tribe football’s post season run started with the Green and Gold hosting state rival Hampton in the quarterfinals of the NCAA I-AA playoffs. Those on hand for that afternoon won’t soon forget the Tribe’s wild 42-35 victory over the Pirates. Sophomore tailback Elijah Brooks ran for a career-high 120 yards and Campbell threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns to lead William and Mary. The Tribe shook off a sluggish start and erased a 13-7 halftime deficit with 35 second-half points and a season-high 592 yards of total offense, including a season-high 298 on the ground, to overcome a determined 2004 Results effort by the Pirates.

2004 SEASON REVIEW conference contests, the Tribe also posted its 12th-straight .500 or better record in A10 play (every season the College has been a member of the league). Every other conference team has suffered through at least one losing season in league play during this span. The finish was the College’s best regular season record since 1996. Perhaps an indication of the type of year that was in store happened early on in the season-opener, as the Tribe had Atlantic Coast Conference-rival North Carolina on the ropes for much of a hot, humid Carolina afternoon, taking a 31-28 advantage into the fourth quarter against the Tar Heels. Campbell opened the scoring on the Tribe’s first possession as he connected with senior wide receiver Josh Lustig for a 46-yard TD pass less than three minutes into the contest. After two Campbell rushing scores, four first-half takeaways by the Tribe defense and a 21yard field goal by Kuehn as time expired in the first half, the College held a 24-14 lead at the break in front of 43,500 shocked Carolina fans. The Heels responded with an early third-quarter touchdown pass by Darian Durant, but senior Jon Smith scored on a 2-yard run midway through the frame to push the lead back to 10, 3121. UNC, however, rode its offensive line and the legs of tailback Ronnie McGill the rest of the way, racking up 341 rushing yards on the day, including 137 by McGill, who tallied three fourthquarter rushing scores to give the Heels a 49-38, come-from-behind victory. The following week, the Tribe headed to 10th-ranked New Hampshire for its A10 opener and took on the Wildcats in the driving rains of the remnants of Hurricane Ivan. A week after UNH rookie quarterback Ricky Santos threw for 385 yards and a school-record five touchdown passes in a win over Division IA Rutgers, the Tribe defense held Santos to 103 yards through the air on 12-for-21 passing, and the Wildcats managed just 226 total yards and only a first-quarter touchdown, as Kuehn kicked field goals of 27, 35 and 21 yards for a hard-fought, 9-7 victory. It was W&M’s first win over a ranked opponent since 2002, and the first of many thrilling and victorious Saturday afternoons for the Tribe and its faithful in 2004. One of the more thrilling Saturday afternoons took place in Harrisonburg on Nov. 13, when the then-10th-ranked Tribe traveled to JMU for a showdown with the fourth-ranked Dukes with first place in the A10 Southern Division on the line. With the score knotted at 24-24 and 38 seconds remaining in regulation, the College gained possession at its 28-yard line after Madison had tied the game with 45 seconds left. With three timeouts in hand, Campbell calmly led the Tribe on a five play, 43-yard drive down to the Dukes’ 29-yard line with just five seconds remaining. On what would be the final play of the game, Kuehn drilled a 46-yard field goal that gave the Tribe a 27-24 victory and its first win in Harrisonburg since 1998 and second win over a top10 team on the road in 2004. Including UNH and JMU, the Tribe downed five ranked opponents (No. 4 James Madison, 27-24; No. 10 New Hampshire, 9-7; No. 11 Hampton, 42-35; No. 16 Northeastern, 38-35; and No. 19 Villanova, 37-29) for the first time since 1996 with the wins over UNH and JMU coming on the road. Additionally, the Tribe went undefeated at Zable for the first time since 1996, with a stellar 5-0 regular season mark.
Greg Kuehnʼs right foot helped the Tribe to wins over UNH, Northeastern and James Madison in 2004. Kuehn was named the A10 Special Teams Player of the Year and received multiple All-America honors.
Quarterback Lang Campbell started his postseason parade of accolades by being honored as the A10 Offensive Player of the Year, while junior place-kicker Greg Kuehn was tabbed the league’s Special Teams Player of the Year. Campbell was further lauded as he went on to be named a consensus First Team All-American and the winner of the prestigious Walter Payton Award. He earned these lofty praises by fashioning a regular season that included leading the A10 in passing efficiency (and third nationally) with a rating of 164.85. He also topped the A10 in passing yards per game (284.9) and total offense (307.5), while compiling a stellar 21-1 touchdown to interception ratio. Seven other Tribe players joined Campbell and Kuehn on the all-conference teams with senior wide receiver Dominique Thompson, sophomore offensive lineman Cody Morris, junior defensive lineman Adam O’Connor and junior defensive back Stephen Cason garnering second team honors and senior running back Jon Smith, senior punter Mike Mesi and junior linebacker Chris Ndubueze netting third team honors. In addition to the athletic success of Laycock’s squad, 2004 saw the team recognized for breaking even its own lofty academic standards. The latest NCAA official graduation-rates report showed W&M graduated an impeccable 100% of its football players that entered the program as freshman during the 199798 school year. The Tribe carried the highest graduation rate in the conference, leading Richmond (94%) by a full six points. Of the teams ranked in the national top 25, only Furman (81%) was within 20 percentage points of the College. In fact, W&M is one of only four teams in the entire I-AA top 25 to have a graduation rate of 70%, or better. By comparison, the overall graduation rate amongst all schools sponsoring athletics aid for I-AA football is 54%.

2004 GAME-BY-GAME RESULTS UNC 49, W&M 38
CHAPEL HILL, NC (9/4/04) -- Despite career days from Lang Campbell and Josh Lustig and four first-half takeaways, the Tar Heels used three fourth-quarter TDs from Ronnie McGill to rally past the Tribe, 49-38, at Kenan Stadium. Campbell had the Division I-A North Carolina defense on its “heels” most of the afternoon, throwing for 322 yards and two TDs, including a 46-yard strike to Lustig on the opening possession. Lustig hauled in a career-best 112 yards on six catches. Campbell added a pair of rushing TDs in the first half and Greg Kuehn booted a 21-yard FG as time expired, as the Tribe built a 10-point halftime lead. Stephen Cason and Alan Wheeling each forced a fumble in the first half, Travis McLaurin recovered two fumbles in the first half, including one he returned 33 yards and Wade Harrell returned his third-career interception 37 yards to set up Kuehn’s FG, as W&M forced four turnovers in a game for the first time since 2002 (IU). James Miller, who also recovered a fumble, led the Tribe with 15 tackles. Dominique Thompson, a NC native, caught six passes for 83 yards and a TD, while Jon Smith added a 2-yard TD run.

DURHAM, NH (9/18/04) - All-conference kicker Greg Kuehn connected on field goals of 27, 35 and 21 yards and the Tribe defense held the Wildcats’ high-powered offense in check, as W&M won its conference-opener, 9-7, over 10th-ranked New Hampshire at rained-soaked Cowell Stadium. Playing in heavy rains from the remnants of Hurricane Ivan, W&M held UNH to 226 offensive yards, nearly 150 below its average, after yielding 575 yard to North Carolina two weeks prior. It was the fewest yards allowed by a W&M defense since yielding 141 to Massachusetts in the 2001 season-opener. All-American candidate Lang Campbell and the Tribe offense were efficient in the treacherous conditions, as Campbell threw for 148 yards on 11 for 23 passing and ran for 42 yards on 14 attempts. With 148 passing yards, he moved into 10th place on the W&M career passing list. Senior Jon Smith churned out 63 yards on 23 carries. Kuehn kicked three field goals for the fourth time in his career, with the last coming in a win over Rhode Island on Oct. 25, 2003. Chris Ndubueze paced the defense with a career-high 16 tackles, including 10 solo stops. Junior Larry Pendleton tallied seven tackles and a sack, while sophomore Josh Wright, who made his first career start, also recorded a sack. The win gave W&M its first victory over a ranked opponent since knocking off 15th-ranked Northeastern in Williamsburg on Oct. 26, 2002. William and Mary #10 New Hampshire

WILLIAMSBURG (9/25/04) - All-American candidate Lang Campbell threw for 137 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the first half to surpass the 3,000-yard mark for his career, as W&M used four second-quarter touchdowns and another outstanding defensive effort to knock off state-rival VMI, 42-6, in front of 8,101 fans at Zable Stadium. Playing on his 23rd birthday, Campbell went over the 3,000-yard plateau in the first quarter and went on to complete 11-of-15 passes for 160 yards to move into ninth place (3,136) on the College’s career passing yardage list. With two TD passes, Campbell also moved into eighth place (28) on the career list at W&M. The Tribe defense forced four turnovers for the second time this season (UNC) and held the Keydets to 197 total yards, the first time a W&M defense surrendered fewer than 200 total yards since a seasonopening win at UMass in 2001 (146). Dating back to a 9-7 win at UNH on Sept. 18, W&M has not allowed a touchdown for over seven consecutive quarters, a feat that has not been accomplished since 1995. Sophomore linebacker Ryan Nickell recorded interceptions on consecutive VMI offensive plays from scrimmage, while all-conference linebacker Travis McLaurin and Chris Ndubueze each had six tackles and defensive end Adam O’Connor recorded five stops, a sack and three quarterback hurries. Senior tailback Jon Smith led the Tribe ground game with 52 yards and two TDs, as he inched closer to 2,000 rushing yards for his career (1,899). VMI William & Mary

WILLIAMSBURG (10/2/04) - Powered by a career-best 378yard passing performance by All-American candidate Lang Campbell, the College pulled off a thrilling 38-35 overtime victory over 16th-ranked Northeastern at Zable Stadium. The decisive points came off the foot of all-conference kicker Greg Kuehn, who nailed a 28-yard FG in the first overtime period. He ended the afternoon converting three of his four FG opportunities. After the Tribe scored on a 77-yard TD pass from Campbell to Dominique Thompson with 2:34 remaining in the fourth quarter, and also got the two-point conversion on a pass to redshirt freshman receiver Joe Nicholas,W&M had a 35-28 lead. But, NU quarterback Shawn Brady’s third TD pass tied the game with 42 seconds remaining and forced OT. W&M won the toss and elected to play defense first. On the Huskies’ first snap, junior Adam O’Connor sacked Brady,and NU eventually missed a 53-yard FG attempt. On the Tribe’s OT possession,Nicholas caught a key first-down pass from Campbell on third-and-long,and two plays later Kuehn drilled the game-winner. Campbell ended the day 22 of 36 for 378 yards, including the score to Thompson. He also ran for a pair of TDs.The 378 passing yards ranks as the eighth-best singlegame performance in W&M history, and it was his second game over 300 yards in four contests.

LYNCHBURG, VA (10/9/04) - Senior All-American candidate Lang Campbell threw for 368 yards, including 221 to senior wide receiver Dominique Thompson, as the 18th-ranked College of William and Mary defeated Liberty, 37-17. In the first-ever meeting between the schools, Campbell completed 19-of-30 passes to surpass the 300-yard mark for the second time in as many games and the third time this season. Thompson pulled in a career-high 10 catches for a personal-best 221 yards, which ranks as the third-best single-game performance in W&M history behind only David Conklin’s 240-yard performance against VMI on Sept. 13, 1997, and Mike Sutton’s 226-yard effort at Marshall on Nov. 5, 1983. The College piled up a season-high 498 total yards of offense to the Flames’ 264. Senior Jon Smith carried 19 times for 51 yards and a pair of TDs, while Campbell and sophomore Elijah Brooks each added a score on the ground, as W&M recorded a season-high four rushing TDs.

2004 GAME-BY-GAME RESULTS #3 UD 31, #14 W&M 28
NEWARK, DE (10/23/04) - Despite a record-setting performance from senior wide receiver Dominique Thompson and four TD passes from All-American candidate, senior Lang Campbell, the 14th-ranked Tribe dropped a hard-fought 31-28 decision to thirdranked Delaware in front of 22,058 fans at Delaware Stadium. Thompson set a W&M single-game record with 244 receiving yards, surpassing the previous mark of 240 set by Dave Conklin against VMI in 1997. He also caught all four of Campbell’s TD passes, matching a W&M record also held by Vito Ragazzo (1949, vs. WFU) and Corey Ludwig (1993, vs. Maine). Campbell completed 20 of 30 passes for 355 yards and a career-best four TDs, surpassing the 300yard mark for the fourth time this season. The duo connected on scoring plays of 10, 62, 87 and 64 yards with the 87-yard completion tying the longest pass play in W&M history (Dan Henning to Tom Scott vs. Navy, 1961). W&M scored on its first three possessions and held a 21-7 advantage in front of shocked sellout crowd at the end of one quarter, but the defending I-AA National Champions outscored the Tribe 24-7 to close the game, capped by a 25-yard TD pass from Sonny Riccio to Joseph Blaymaier with 4:41 remaining. Junior linebacker Chris Ndubueze and junior corner Stephen Cason shared the team-lead with 11 tackles apiece, while sophomore end Josh Wright recorded a career-high 10 stops in the loss. #14 William & Mary #3 Delaware

#16 W&M 41, TU 16
TOWSON, MD (10/30/04) - Senior All-American candidate, quarterback Lang Campbell threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters, and the 16th-ranked Tribe piled up a season-high 585 yards of total offense to subdue A10 Conference newcomer Towson, 41-16. Campbell completed 20-of-29 attempts and his three touchdown passes brought his season total to 14, seven of which have come in the last two games. The 268 passing yards brought his career total to 4,697, moving him into sixth place on the W&M career list, while his three TD passes brought his career total to 38, also moving him into sixth place on the W&M career list in that category. Senior wide receiver Dominique Thompson caught seven passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns, his fifth and sixth scoring receptions in the last two games. Thompson went over the 1,000-yard mark on the season early in the third quarter, becoming just the sixth player in W&M history to record a 1,000-yard receiving season. As impressive as Campbell’s feats through the air were, the Tribe’s ground attack was equally inspired, as it racked up a season-high 280 rushing yards after averaging just 99.1 yards per game coming in. Senior tailback Jon Smith led the rushing attack with a season-high 113 yards on 16 carries and added a running score. Smith became the first Tribe player this season to surpass the century mark on the ground, and it was his fifth 100-yard rushing game of his career, moving him into a tie for eighth place on the W&M career list. #16 William & Mary Towson

WILLIAMSBURG (11/6/04) - Senior tailback Jon Smith scored on runs of 1, 1 and 17 yards and All-American candidate Lang Campbell threw for 232 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 60 yards and another score to lead the 13th-ranked Tribe past 19thranked Villanova, 37-29, at Zable Stadium. The victory gave head coach Jimmye Laycock his 13th career season with seven or more victories, and stood as the College’s third win over a ranked opponent this season. After trailing 21-14 at the break, Campbell connected with redshirt freshman WR Joe Nicholas on a six-yard scoring strike to cap the Tribe’s opening drive of the second half, and after the teams exchanged punts, W&M took its first lead of the game when the Wildcats’ center sent a snap over the punter’s head and out of the end zone. Smith scored his second touchdown early in the fourth to push the lead to 30-21, and found the end zone for third time with 2:57 remaining, after senior Wade Harrell’s 19-yard interception return. Smith scored three rushing TDs for the third time in his career with the last coming against VMI in 2002. Campbell completed 22 of 34 passes for 232 and threw his 39th career TD pass. He was equally effective on the ground, gaining a season-high 60 yards, including several key first-down runs in the fourth quarter. Junior all-conference candidate Adam O’Connor recorded three sacks in the game, just a half-sack away from a W&M single-game record. For his efforts, O’Connor was named the A10 Defensive Player of the Week. #19 Villanova #13 William & Mary

2004 GAME-BY-GAME RESULTS #10 W&M 27, #4 JMU 24
HARRISONBURG, VA (11/13/04) - Junior all-conference kicker Greg Kuehn nailed a 46-yard field goal as time expired to lead 10th-ranked William and Mary to a thrilling 27-24 victory over fourth-ranked James Madison in front of 13,904 fans at Bridgeforth Stadium. The College gained possession at its 28-yard line with 38 seconds remaining, after JMU tied the game at 24-24 with 45 seconds left.With three timeouts in hand, senior All-American and Payton Award candidate, quarterback Lang Campbell calmly led the Tribe on a five play, 43-yard drive to set up Kuehn’s game-winning kick. Kuehn’s heroics gave the Tribe its first win in Harrisonburg since 1998 and its second victory over a top-10 team on the road this season. The kick was Kuehn’s second game-winning effort of the season, as he also drilled a 28-yard field goal in overtime to beat 16th-ranked Northeastern, 38-35, on Oct. 2. Campbell was brilliant all day, as he methodically picked apart the Dukes’ vaunted defense for 323 yards and two touchdowns on 26 of 33 passing. It was Campbell’s fifth 300-yard passing game of the season, as he moved over the 5,000-yard barrier for his career (5,302), becoming just the sixth quarterback in W&M history to accomplish the feat. Junior Chris Ndubueze led the Tribe with 12 total tackles and forced a critical JMU fumble late in the game, which was recovered by classmate Stephen Cason, who had 10 total stops in the game. All-conference candidate, junior Adam O’Connor registered nine total tackles, including a team-high 1.5 for loss. #10 William & Mary #4 James Madison

WILLIAMSBURG (11/20/04) - All-American and Payton Award candidate, senior quarterback Lang Campbell threw for a school-record 174 yards and three touchdowns in the third quarter, as sixth-ranked William and Mary defeated arch rival Richmond, 38-14, in the 114th meeting between the schools. With the victory, the Tribe earned a share of the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and secured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA I-AA Playoffs. The Tribe reeled off 24 straight points in the third period to turn a 14-point halftime lead into a 38-0 advantage heading into the final quarter. Campbell completed 21 of 28 passes for 291 yards and four touchdowns, which matched his career-high set earlier this season at Delaware.

Junior tight end Adam Bratton caught two of Campbell’s scoring passes in the third, and redshirt freshman Joe Nicholas pulled in his third touchdown reception of the season in the frame. Junior defensive end Jonas Watson led an inspired defensive effort for the Tribe, sacking UR quarterback Stacy Tutt twice. W&M recorded five sacks in the game and limited the Spiders to 150 yards through the air. With 291 passing yards, Campbell established a W&M 11-game, regular season record with 3,037 passing yards, while also setting an 11-game, regular season record for total offense (3,238).

WILLIAMSBURG (11/27/04) - Sophomore tailback Elijah Brooks ran for a career-high 120 yards and senior Payton Award Candidate Lang Campbell threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns to lead William and Mary over Hampton, 42-35, in the first round of the 2004 NCAA I-AA Football Championship in Williamsburg. The Tribe shook off a sluggish start and erased a 13-7 halftime deficit with 35 second-half points and a season-high 592 yards of total offense, including a season-high 298 on the ground, to overcome a 394 all-purpose yard and three touchdown performance from Pirates’ senior wide receiver Jerome Mathis. After Mathis scored his third TD of the game, a 43-yard pass play with 12:01 remaining in the game, Tribe senior Dominique Thompson returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a score, becoming the first W&M player to take a kickoff to the house since 1995. The defense forced a turnover on the Pirates’ next possession, and one play later, Campbell hit Thompson on a 45-yard scoring strike to put the Tribe ahead for good. It was Thompson’s second TD catch of the game, as he piled up 118 receiving yards on seven grabs for his fifth 100-yard game of the season. Senior tailback Jon Smith and Campbell each contributed to the Tribe’s impressive rushing attach, as Smith racked up 80 yards and two scores on 13 carries, while Campbell added a season-high 71 yards on nine attempts. The victory gave W&M its 10th win of the season, becoming just the third team in school history to reach the mark. It was also the Tribe’s first playoff victory, since a 45-6 win over Jackson State in 1996. #11 Hampton #6 William and Mary

WILLIAMSBURG, VA (12/10/04) - Senior All-American quarterback Lang Campbell threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns on 30-for-39 passing, but eighthranked James Madison defeated sixth-ranked William and Mary, 48-34, in the semifinals of the 2004 NCAA I-AA Football Championship in front of a Friday night sellout crowd at Zable Stadium. After spotting the Dukes a 21-0 first-quarter lead, Campbell rushed for a score and threw a nine-yard TD pass to redshirt freshman Joe Nicholas and All-American Greg Kuehn kicked a pair of field goals, including a 42-yarder as time expired in the first half, to cut the deficit to 21-20 at the break. W&M kept the momentum going to start the third, as Campbell hit senior All-American wide receiver Dominique Thompson on a seven-yard strike to give the Tribe its first lead, 26-21. The advantage was shortlived however, as JMU engineered a two-play scoring drive on its next series and took advantage of two costly Tribe turnovers to reel off 27-straight points en route to the victory. Campbell completed the most prolific season by a W&M quarterback with his school-record 30th TD pass late in the fourth, a four-yard connection with senior John Pitts. Campbell set season marks for passing yards (3,988), total offense (4,305), completions (298) and touchdown passes. Thompson extended his school-record for receiving yards in a season to 1,585 and established a new standard for receptions in a season (79) with eight catches for 96 yards against the Dukes. Despite the loss, the 2004 campaign proved to be one of the most successful in W&M history, as the Tribe won 11 games and advanced to the national semifinals for the first time. #8 James Madison #6 William and Mary

2004 Payton Award-winning quarterback Lang Campbell paced an offensive attack that averaged over 431.7 yards of total offense per game, which led the Atlantic 10 Football Conference and ranked 10th nationally. Individually, Campbell led the league in total offense per game (307.5), passing yards per game (284.9) and pass efficiency (158.7).
Second team all-conference corner Stephen Casonʼs interception on the first play of the fourth quarter against Delaware in the NCAA Quarterfinals started an unforgettable comeback, as the Tribe rallied from a 31-10 deficit to force overtime and eventually prevail, 44-38, in a second overtime session. The interception was one of 19 turnovers the Tribe defense forced in 2004.

Corley ends up as the holder of 16 school records. His main target, wideout Rich Musinski, becomes the Tribe’s all-time receiving yards leader in the season finale against Richmond. 2003 Standout wide receiver Rich Musinski breaks the Atlantic 10 record for career receiving yards with 4,168 yards and is named a first team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association. He also finished his career as the College’s all-time leader in receptions (223) and touchdowns (31). He is only the third player in NCAA history to collect more than 4,000 receiving yards. 2004 Tribe senior quarterback Lang Campbell wins the Walter Payton Award, given annually to I-AA’s top offensive player, after leading the College to its firstever 11-win season and first-ever appearance in the national semifinals, a Friday night contest against state-rival JMU broadcast to a national television audience from Zable Stadium.

Junior place-kicker Greg Kuehn takes the A10 Special Teams Player of the Year and All-America honors after leading the nation with 19 field goals. Campbell’s main receiving threat, senior Dominique Thompson, shatters the school’s single-season record for receiving yards with 1,585 and set a new season standard with 79 receptions en route to All-America status. Junior defensive end Adam O’Connor also earned All-America honors after piling up eight sacks.
1994 Tribe finishes with 8-3 record, capping the best three-year stretch in school history (26-8). 1995 Jimmye Laycock becomes only the 13th Division I-AA head coach to reach the 100-win plateau with a 39-0 win at defending conference champion New Hampshire.

The College of William and Mary has been producing professional football players since 1923, when Isham Hardy began his four-year pro career with the Akron Pros, which later became the Akron Indians. In 1923, for the first time, every franchise that was considered part of the NFL fielded a team and the Canton Bulldogs posted their second-straight undefeated season (110-1) to capture the league championship. Over the years, the College has manufactured a multitude of athletes who went on to star at the professional level in leagues ranging from the NFL to the Candian Football League to the Arena League. Most recently, Billy Parker (‘03) signed a free-agent contract with the Miami Dolphins in June, after earning all-rookie and first team all-league honors for the New York Dragons of the Arena League. Two players off the Tribe’s 2004 national semifinal squad are also in NFL camps this summer, as Lang Campbell joined the Cleveland Browns, uglas Otis Do and Dominique Thompson joined the St. Louis s r rkovitch Yea Nick Fo Rams. 6 5 9 Green 1 1954, Robert Team

LANG CAMPBELL / THE WALTER PAYTON AWARD After leading the College to one of its most successful seasons in school history, quarterback Lang Campbell put a fitting end to what was a magical football season by being named as the recipient of the 2004 Payton Award at the 18th annual I-AA College Football Awards Ceremony held on December 16th in Chattanooga, TN. Campbell, became the first Tribe player to earn the award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding offensive player in the I-AA ranks, by virtue of a national vote of college sports information directors and selected media. Campbell established school single-season records for passing yards (3,988), total offense (4,305) and touchdowns (30), as well as touchdowns responsible for (38, as he also had eight rushing TDs). The Winchester, VA native led William & Mary to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and its first appearance in the NCAA I-AA semifinals, along with the first 11win season in the 110-year history of the Tribe’s program. At the conclusion of the regular season, Campbell was honored as the A-10 Offensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in the Tribe’s 12-year association with the league to earn the award. He earned the A10’s highest individual offensive honor as the key component in a Tribe attack that averaged over 430 yards and 34 points a contest. The history and economics major helped power the squad to a 11-3 final record, a share of the A10 Title and a school-record No. 3 seed in the NCAA Championship field by leading the conference in seven different categories, including passing yards, passing efficiency and total offense. By ending the season leading the sixth-ranked Tribe to a 38-14 win over arch rival Richmond with 291 yards and four touchdowns on 21 completions (in 28 attempts), Campbell earned his third A10 Offensive Player of the Week honor. Campbell’s season average of 284.9 passing yards per game is a school-record and was the top figure in the A10. Campbell became just the fourth Tribe quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards in a season and joins former All-American signal-caller Mike Cook (1995-98) as the College’s only quarterbacks to accomplish the trick in just 11 games (Cook threw for 3,028 in 1998). Campbell’s 3,988 passing yards shatters the school’s previous single-season total of 3,414, set by Chris Hakel during a 13-game 1990 season. By completing an eye-catching .655 of his attempts (298 of 455), Campbell had the third best completion percentage in school history. In fact, he ended his career by completing better than 50% of his attempts in all but one of his 24 career starts. For his career, Campbell has a completion percentage of .649, which ranks him second all-time at the College (trailing only Shawn Knight’s career mark of .655). Campbell ended the regular season with just one INT in 326 attempts. His minuscule interception percentage of .31 was the best 11-game average in the nation among all levels (the next closest total was Georgetown’s Andrew Crawford, who sported a .64 average, with just one INT in 156 attempts) and an NCAA regular season record. Campbell ended the regular season by throwing 235 consecutive passes without an interception and had a TD-to-INT ratio of 21:1, which was far and away the nation’s best total among all quarterbacks. He also has rushed for eight touchdowns and 317 yards. The semifinal match up with eighth-ranked James Madison was the Tribe’s eighth game against a ranked opponent in 13 contests this season. By running up 335 yards of total offense against the Dukes, Campbell provided just one more example of his ability to excel when the spotlight is shining brightest. In the eight games against ranked opponents this season, he averaged 291.1 passing yards per game (2,330), completed 66.1% of his attempts (154 of 233) and accounted for 18 touchdowns. In his lone outing against I-A competition, at the University of North Carolina, Campbell accounted for four touchdowns and 357 total yards in the team’s hard-fought 49-38 loss. He etched his name throughout the College’s record book in just two years a starter, ranking fifth in career passing yards (6,494), fourth in total offense (7,149) and third in touchdown passes (54). A four-time honor roll student at the College, Campbell graduated with GPA of better than 3.3 and with a degree in history and economics. Not only a leader on the field, Campbell was active in helping chart the school’s athletic policies, as they relate to athletes, by being a member of the school’s Student Athletics Advisory Committee. He also has made an impact for several local charities, including Avalon (a house for abused women and children) and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Walter Zable, Class of 1937, has long been one of the biggest supporters of Tribe football. Zable was a starting end for W&M from 1934-36, playing well enough to be named to Sports Illustratedʼs Silver Anniversary All-America team. In 1987, the NCAA awarded Zable with its highest honor, the Theodore Roosevelt Award. Zable ensured that his legacy would remain with W&M when, in 1990, he and his wife Betty (Class of 1940) made a committment towards athletics, student aid and other needs. In recognition of the gesture, the Collegeʼs Board of Visitors approved the naming of the on-campus football stadium as Walter J. Zable Stadium at Cary Field.

WALK-ON HALL

“There has been a tradition of success for walk-on athletes in our program ... I think it exemplifies the importance we place on work ethic here ... If a player comes to the College and is willing to do the work in the classroom and on the field, he will get an equal opportunity to play.” - Tribe Head Coach Jimmye Laycock In athletics, players develop at different rates and react to competitive situations in different ways. For those reasons, the W&M football coaching staff understands the impact walk-on players, athletes not presented athletic scholarships directly out of high school, can make on the program. W&M has been fortunate to attract many top-quality players as walk-ons who have gone on to earn scholarships and become important parts of the success of Tribe football. Many of these players, wanting to be part of a traditional power like W&M, have turned down other scholarship offers in favor of walking onto the Tribe program with the hopes of earning a scholarship. These players’ dedication to Tribe football have been rewarded by earning scholarships and making the most of their opportunity, on and off the field. Without quality walk-on players the Tribe could not continue to perform at such a high level on the national scene. Notable players who came to W&M as walk-ons include 2004 Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Lang Campbell, 1995 Yankee Conference Defensive Player of the Year Jason Miller, record-setting wideout Josh Whipple and all-conference safety Sean McDermott. Largely due to their unselfish approach to the game and their consummate team play, a number of former walk-ons have gone on to serve as team captains at W&M, including Mike McGowan and Stefon Moody in 1996 and McDermott in 1997 and, more recently, Marc Matthie in 2001 and both Campbell and Wade Harrell in 2004. In just two seasons as a starter, Campbell etched his name throughout the College record books, ranking fifth in career passing yards (6,494), fourth in total offense (7,149) and third in touchdown passes (54). In 2004, Campbell established school single-season records for passing yards (3,988), total offense (4,305) and touchdowns (30), as well as touchdowns responsible for (38, as he also had eight rushing TDs). The Winchester, VA native led William & Mary to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and its first appearance in the NCAA I-AA semifinals, along with the first 11-win season in the 111-year history of the Tribe’s program. At the conclusion of the regular season, Campbell was honored as the A-10 Offensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in the Tribe’s 12-year association with the league to earn the award. Former W&M defensive back Palmer Scarritt, who ranks second on the W&M all-time punt return yardage list, came to the program as a walkon. Former defensive line walk-on Alan Garlic set W&M’s career sack record at 21. Lynchburg’s Charlie White came to W&M as an undersized center and went on to earn second-team all-conference honors in 1995. Receiver Mark Compher came to Williamsburg as a walk-on and established a then-W&M record for single-season receiving yards with 1,180 in 1990. One of Compher’s teammates, fullback Tyrone Shelton, went from walk-on to a career that saw him rush for 2,534 yards, the fifth-highest total in W&M history, and become an NFL draft selection. In 2002, Andrew Solomon led the Tribe in tackles after joining the squad as a walk-on his freshman year. The following lists show some of the most prominent W&M players who have come to the Tribe as walk-ons since 1980. Each of these studentathletes went on to earn starting positions and, more importantly, bachelor’s degrees from the College. Mike McMarthy DT, 2005

PRESIDENT GENE R. NICHOL
GENE R. NICHOL President Gene Nichol became the College of William and Mary’s 26th president on July 1, 2005. A scholar of constitutional and civil rights law, Nichol taught at the William and Mary School of Law from 1985 to 1988 and has served as dean at both the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law and the law school at the University of Colorado.

He has also taught at Oxford, Exeter, and the law school of West Virginia University. Nichol is the co-author of the text QUOTING PRESIDENT NICHOL ... July 1, 2005
AND THE
BOARD
Federal Courts and has published articles on civil liberties and federal judicial power in a wide variety of journals, including the Harvard Law Review, Yale Law Review, and the University of Chicago Law Review. He contributed articles on civil rights and public law litigation to the Encyclopedia of the American Constitution, and one on the civil rights movement to the Oxford Companion to the United States Supreme Court. Over the course of his career, Nichol has testified on constitutional matters before committees of the U.S. Congress and various state legislatures.

He was elected to membership in the American Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation Fellows. Nichol attended Oklahoma State University, where he received a degree in philosophy and played quarterback on the varsity football team. In 1976, he graduated from the University of Texas Law School, where he was named to the Order of the Coif. He is married to Glenn George, and they have three daughters: Jesse, Jenny, and Soren. George, a scholar of labor law and civil procedure, received her bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina and graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School.
The College of William and Mary has struggled, endured, and prospered, becoming a central part of our culture, because, at heart, it touches the deepest concerns of the human spirit. The need to examine, to explore, to probe, to question, to contribute. The challenge to understand - and to share the fruits of that understanding with our fellows. The powerful, unquenched belief in excellence, in the call to a better future, in the opened door, the extended hand, the brightened lamp. A recurring sense of both blessing and obligation; a belief in the marriage of knowledge and virtue; a determination to become, in Madison’s words, beneficiary and benefactor of the commonwealth.

And, this College, distinct, perhaps, from the nation’s other great public universities, is committed to pressing these values in the context of a small, life-changing liberal arts experience. Where academic rigor can actually apply as an overarching norm; where an ennobling faculty-student engagement is the hallmark of tåhe institution; and where the most important questions of human existence are repeatedly presented center stage. Insisting that, in a viable democracy, the most powerful and uplifting structures of higher education cannot be relegated to the private sphere. That is our legacy. It is our challenge as well.

ATHLETIC DIRECTORS TERRY DRISCOLL Athletics Director With an extensive resumé that includes four years as a student-athlete, a professional playing career and numerous jobs in the athletic business world, Edward C. “Terry” Driscoll is entering his 10th year as the athletics director at the College of William and Mary. Driscoll’s tenure has seen a wealth of improvements across the board in the W&M athletics department, from new facilities to increased fundraising for the Tribe. In addition, the Tribe has reached all-time highs in the annual Director’s Cup rankings that summarize excellence in all sports. Upon the death of legendary Tribe athletics director John Randolph, W&M president Timothy J. Sullivan chose Driscoll to be the new leader of the department, saying “Terry brings outstanding management and leadership skills to the position.” Since Driscoll took over as athletics director, he has overseen the construction of more than $16 million in facilities, including Plumeri Park (baseball), Albert-Daly Field (soccer, lacrosse) and the Busch Courts (tennis). Driscoll has also increased the annual fundraising totals for non-capital projects from $1.36 million in 1995 to around $2.7 million currently. He also has served on numerous conference and NCAA committees, including a stint as president of the Atlantic 10 Football Conference. The Tribe has also had outstanding success across the board since Driscoll came to Williamsburg. In 2002-03, W&M had a school-record 10 teams compete in the NCAA Tournament. Four teams won conference titles, while six were in the top 25 at the end of their respective seasons. One of the department’s goals each year is to finish in the top 100 in the annual Director’s Cup rankings, and that has happened in all but one of the years that Driscoll has been the AD, with a high ranking of 42 occurring in 1997. In addition, W&M had captured 81 CAA Championships coming into the 2005-06 school year, by far the highest total among all conference schools.
BARB BLOSSER Senior Associate Athletics Director After serving 12 years as the College’s associate athletics director, Barbara Blosser was promoted to her current position of senior associate athletic director in April of 2004. Blosser started her career at William and Mary as the head women’s basketball coach in 1978 and guided the Tribe to a VAIAW crown in her first season with a school-record 16 wins (16-13). Her 1980 Tribe team (11-14) placed third, while the 1981 squad (16-16) was VAIAW runner-up. She was also at the helm during the 1984-85 season when William and Mary made the jump to NCAA Division I. Overall, she finished her coaching career with 115 wins, 84 of which came at William and Mary. When the College’s men’s and women’s athletic programs merged in May of 1986, she moved to administration, first serving as the Assistant to the Associate Athletics Director. Over the past 16 years, her administrative responsibilities at W&M have included the monitoring of financial aid matters, coordinating the scheduling of athletic facilities, supervision of coaches and staff and, currently, serving as the person primarily responsible for administering the day-to-day operations of the department. From October 1992 to June 1993 and August 1995 to July 1996, Blosser also served as acting athletics director in an interim capacity.
Driscoll’s leadership skills were developed in his collegiate years. As a student-athlete at Boston College, Driscoll captained the basketball team to the National Invitation Tournament championship game as a senior, and was named the tournament MVP. In addition to being named an All-American, his success in the classroom with a major in biology garnered him an Academic All-America honor. After graduating from BC, he was the fourth pick of the NBA Draft, selected by the Detroit Pistons, just three picks after the Milwaukee Bucks chose UCLA’s Lew Alcindor, later to be known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Driscoll chose to play a year in Italy first, but then returned to the U.S. to play for the Pistons, Washington Bullets and Milwaukee Bucks before going back to Italy as a player and coach until 1980. Driscoll then entered the corporate world in 1980, working for Kazmaier Associates, Inc., an international sporting goods sales and sports marketing firm. After Kazmaier purchased Bike Athletic in 1986, KSG Inc. was formed with the objective of becoming the first, and only, national sales agency in the sporting goods industry. By 1987, Driscoll was president of the company and had expanded the agency to all 50 states just two years later. In early 1990, Driscoll’s contribution to a marketing research project for the NCAA was the initial step moving him from product marketing and sales to sports marketing and management. The result of the project was a joint venture between Kazmaier Associates and Host Communication - with Driscoll being named managing director and chief operating officer of NCAA International. In 1993, Driscoll diversified his experience in the athletic world by working as the executive director of the 1994 World Cup site in Boston. In September of that year, Driscoll was again enlisted to launch a new business, Eagle International Group, an event management and services company. As vice president, Driscoll worked with Hawaii Pacific Sports as well as organizing the Women’s World Volleyball Grand Prix, a five-week competition in Honolulu. Driscoll resides in Williamsburg with his wife, Susan. The couple has two children – Keith, 29, a 1997 graduate of Holy Cross and Leslie, 25, a 2001 graduate of William and Mary.
For her efforts, she was named the first recipient of the John Randolph Inspiration Award. Blosser has served on various committees such as the NCAA Strategic Planning Committee and the Colonial Athletic Association Competition Committee. Blosser began her coaching career at the helm of the women’s basketball program at Ashland College in Ohio. During two seasons there, she led the Eagles to successive 15-7 and 16-8 ledgers. Her 1977 squad won the AIAW Region V Championship, while her 1978 team took the OAISW Small College title. A former three-sport standout at Ohio State, Blosser graduated Cum Laude in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education. At OSU, she was selected to both Phi Beta Kappa and Mortar Board. She competed in basketball, field hockey and tennis and captained both the basketball and field hockey squads her senior year. She went on to earn her master’s degree from the University of North Carolina Greensboro in 1978.
W&M AD Terry Driscoll had his jersey number retired by the Boston College Athletics Department in 1999, while Senior Assoc. AD Barb Blosser was in the first class of female athletes inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993.

PAGE HEADLINE
Athletic Excellence The 2004-05 season was another outstanding year for W&M athletics, as the Tribe added five CAA titles to push its conferenceleading total to 81, 30 more than the next closest competitor. Seven teams competed in their respective NCAA Championships, highlighted by the football teamʼs appearance in the I-AA semifinals. It has become typical for W&M to win at least five conference championships and send seven or more teams to the NCAA Championship each season. Each year the goal of the athletics department is to finish in the top-100 nationally in the NACDA Directorsʼ Cup standings and in recent years W&M has far exceeded that standard. In 2004-2005, the College finished 76th, and was the highest-ranked team in the CAA and was third among all schools in the state of Virginia, making this the ninth time in the 12-year history of the Directorsʼ Cup that the College has finished both in the top four in the state of Virginia and first or second in the CAA. William and Mary fields Division I teams for both men and women in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. There are also field hockey, lacrosse and volleyball squads for women of the College, while there are two additional sports (baseball and football) for men.

Academic Success The Tribeʼs athletic accomplishments do not come at the expense of its studentsʼ academic responsibilities, as W&M has produced 36 Academic All-Americans since 1992. In the NCAAʼs inaugural Academic Progress Rate scores for all Division I institutions, William and Mary once again excelled in its mission of fostering true student-athletes. The College boasted the fourth-best APR score (992) among 328 active and provisional institutions, and W&M leads all programs that offer performance-based grants and financial aid to scholar-athletes. Additionally, W&M had four student-athletes recognized as CAA Scholar-Athletes of the Year in 2004-2005: Pat Comstock (Menʼs Cross Country), Megan Bishop (Womenʼs Cross Country), Keith Bechtol (Menʼs Track and Field) and Lena Sherbakov (Womenʼs Tennis).
PAGE HEADLINE The Best Small Public University in the United States For more than 300 years,William and Mary has been a symbol of academic distinction in America. Now, in its fourth century, the College is prepared to educate the leaders of the 21st century. The College of William and Mary was founded in 1693 by King William III and Queen Mary II of England. Four Presidents of the United States received their education at the College - George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler. William and Mary was the first college to institute an honor code of conduct. The premier academic society, Phi Beta Kappa, was founded by William and Mary students in 1776. The Society of the Alumni, founded in 1842, is the sixth oldest alumni group in the nation. Now the College is designated as a “Public Ivy”, and ranks 15th among the best regional business schools. The Wren Building is the oldest one in the United States in which classes are still taught.

A feeling of loyalty and pride in identifying themselves as a varsity athlete with a degree from The College of William and Mary.

Every Monday, starting on August 29, the Atlantic 10 will conduct a teleconference from 10:00-12:10pm (eastern time) with each of its head football coaches. Each coach will have a 10-minute slot to discuss his team and answer questions from the media. Members of the media are strongly encouraged to participate in the questioning. For the access number, call Pete Clawson. Below is the schedule for the teleconference:
The broadcast team of Jay Colley and Bob Sheeran will once again relay the excitement of Tribe football over the airwaves. Play-by-play chief Colley also covers the Tribe basketball squad. A mass communications graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, Colley has been a fixture of the Tribe’s sports broadcasts for 20 years. In 2002, Colley was granted honorary alumnus status by William and Mary. Bob Sheeran has never drifted far from the beat of W&M sports. A 1967 alumnus of the College, Sheeran served as W&M’s sports information director for 16 years before entering private business in 1985. He has teamed up with Colley for the last 17 years as part of the football broadcasts and has also served as an integral part of all W&M Quarterback Club booster functions since his graduation. A testament to his dedication to the College was witnessed in 2003 as an endowment was organized in his name by HAYFARL (a W&M football booster organization) to provide scholarship support for a Tribe walk-on football player. For the third year in a row, Williamsburg affiliate WMBG-AM 740 will originate and serve as the flagship station on the broadcasts of all William and Mary football and basketball games. Also airing the network will be WSRV-FM 92.3, The Surf. Stretching over 150 miles across the commonwealth, the W&M radio network is the gateway to all of the Tribe action.
The Jimmye Laycock Show Every Thursday afternoon, from 12 to 1 p.m., during the regular season, join Bob Sheeran and the coach for the Jimmye Laycock Show at the Backfin Restaurant on Strawberry Plains Road in Williamsburg. Laycock answers questions about the weekend’s upcoming opponent, the previous week’s results and news and matchups around the Atlantic 10. The show can be heard live in the Williamsburg area on the Tribe’s flagship station, WMBG 740 AM. Weekly Football Press Luncheon Every Tuesday* afternoon during the regular season, members of the media are encouraged to join coach Laycock and various Tribe players for the W&M weekly football press luncheon, starting at 12 noon at the Hospitality House on Richmond Road across from Zable Stadium. Lunch is served promptly at 12, followed by opening statements by Laycock and a question-and-answer session for members of the media. Student-athletes are available for one-on-one interviews following the luncheon. *The date of the first luncheon (Marshall) will be announced in August.
