PROGRAM HISTORY

UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY FOOTBALL 1

WELCOME TO BOB FORD FIELD

Celebrating his 76th birthday Wednesday, September 11th, University at Albany head football coach Bob Ford held the program’s first practice at UAlbany’s brand new $19 million multi-sport complex.

The stadium field turf is named in honor of Ford, the only coach the UAlbany football program has known. Ford, who is in his 44th season at UAlbany, has built the program from the ground up, taking the Great Danes from a club team to an NCAA Division I FCS contender. With 265 career victories, Ford ranks second among all active college football coaches and first among NCAA Division I active coaches. Ford, who is set to retire at the end of the year, has won four Northeast Conference Coach of the Year honors and led the Great Danes to six NEC titles.

The state-of-the-art 8,500-seat facility includes a distinct press level with four luxury suites, print media area, and booths for radio, television, coaches, and replay, as well as 20 high-definition televisions distributed throughout the level.

The stadium also features a $1.1 million Daktronics scoreboard with a 39’ by 22’ high-definition video display and point-source sound system behind the south end zone.

“This new facility is a testament to the tireless dedication of UAlbany Vice President for Athletic Administration and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Lee McElroy, football coach Bob Ford, the entire athletics staff and our incredible student athletes,” said UAlbany President Robert J. Jones. “Through their efforts, UAlbany’s Division I athletics program has become a model for success, highlighted by its commitment to academic excellence and sportsmanship.”

“This stadium is a tremendous acknowledgment of all that our coaching staffs and athletes have accomplished over the years, particularly the last decade,” said McElroy. “UAlbany athletes set a standard for achievement, both on the field and in the classroom. Our students, coaches, alumni and community supporters now have the Division I-level facilities their dedication merits.”

The facility will be home to Great Danes NCAA Division I football and soccer teams. The project was completed by Whiting-Turner Contracting Company; with support from principle architect and designer Heery International Inc., and site engineer Clough Harbor & Associates.

UALBANY/NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES SCOUTING THE GREAT DANES 2013 Record: 1-9, 0-6 CAA 2012 Record: 9-2, 7-1 NEC (T-1st) 2013 CAA Preseason Poll: 10th/11 Head Coach: Bob Ford (41st varsity season at UAlbany/44th overall at UAlbany/45th overall as head coach) (256-167-0 / 265-189-1) THE COACH: Bob Ford ranks first among active NCAA Division I FCS coaches with 265 career victories and is also fourth on the all-time FCS chart. Ford, the architect of the UAlbany program, has led the Great Danes to a 256-167 record in his 41st varsity season. Under his direction, the Great Danes have moved from the club level in 1970 to its present NCAA Division I FCS status. At the team’s media day on Aug. 13th, Ford announced that his 44th season at the helm in 2013 will be his last.

More than 100 of Bob Ford’s assistant coaches are currently working in the professional, college and high school ranks.

UALBANY OVERVIEW: After winning back-to-back championships in the Northeast Conference, the Great Danes are in their first season competing in the CAA. Through 10 games, UAlbany owns a 1-9 record, overcoming Colgate 37-34 in week two for the lone victory of the season, while falling in three heartbreaking losses, decided by three or less points at the end of regulation. Offensively, the Great Danes are led by junior quarterback Will Fiacchi (170-303-8) who has thrown nine touchdowns with an average of 197.1 passing yards per game. Senior Kevin Chillis has served as Fiacchi’s top receiver, making 43 catches for 533 yards and five touchdowns. On the ground, junior Omar Osbourne ranks third in the CAA and leads the squad with 234 carries and 1,040 rushing yards (104.0/game), while crossing the goal line 11 times this fall. Defensively, Randall Exantus (71 tackles), Christian Dorsey (69 tackles), and TJ Idowu (67 tackles) lead the team.

LAST TIME OUT: Throughout much of Saturday night’s contest at Bob Ford Field, the hosting University at Albany Great Danes appeared as though they might spoil No. 8/9 Maine’s unblemished conference record, but in the end the Black Bears escaped with a 33-27 win over the hosts. Maine improved to 9-1 overall and 6-0 in CAA play, while UAlbany fell to 1-9 on the season and 0-6 in conference. Trailing by a touchdown with 1:50 remaining in the contest, the Great Danes started their drive on their own 20-yard line after Maine punted into the end zone. However, the Black Bears quickly quashed what would be UAlbany’s last chance for victory, as Trevor Bates sacked Will Fiacchi and forced a fumble. Maine recovered on the 12 and ran the remainder of the clock out, sealing the win. Offensively, junior quarterback Will Fiacchi totaled 139 passing yards and threw for two touchdowns, completing 9-of-20 passes. Senior Kevin Chilis served as his top target with three catches for a total of 74 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown reception.

Tight end Brian Parker also caught a touchdown pass and totaled 39 receiving yards for the Danes. On the ground, junior running back Omar Osbourne netted 134 rushing yards and a touchdown, as he carried the ball 29 times. Out of the wildcat, Jake Meek found a number of holes, rushing eight times for a total of 59 yards, averaging 7.4 yard per carry.

Defensively, junior Jake Dwyer led UAlbany with 11 tackles, followed by senior Tramaine Wilson’s nine, and classmate Andrew Smith’s eight, including a sack.

THE UALBANY-NEW HAMPSHIRE ALL-TIME SERIES Saturday’s meeting will mark the second in program history between UAlbany and New Hampshire. In their only clash, the No. 10 ranked Wildcats came away with a 32-24 win in Durham, N.H. on Sept. 20, 2008. The Great Danes held a 24-23 lead with 6:16 remaining in the third quarter, but UNH rallied to score an unanswered touchdown and field goal. Both teams went on to have outstanding seasons, as New Hampshire won the CAA North Division and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Playoffs, finishing with a 10-3 overall record and 6-2 mark in the CAA. Meanwhile, UAlbany captured the Northeast Conference title with a perfect 7-0 record, while winning the Gridiron Classic, accruing a 9-3 overall mark.

SCOUTING THE WILDCATS 2013 Record: 5-4, 4-2 CAA 2012 Record: 8-4, 6-2 CAA (3rd) 2013 CAA Preseason Poll: 3rd/11 Head Coach: Sean McDonnell (15th season at UNH) (109-70/same overall) THE COACH: Sean McDonnell, a 1978 University of New Hampshire graduate, is in his 15th season as the head coach of his alma mater with a career record of 109-70. Under his mentorship, the Wildcats have qualified for the NCAA Division I FCS postseason for nine straight seasons, the longest streak in the nation. In May 2013, McDonnell was honored by the Joe Yukica-New Hampshire Chapter of the National Football Foundation, which presented him with the Andy Mooradian Award for his contributions to amateur football. The 2012, McDonnell led the Wildcats to a share of the CAA championship, the second in Coach Mac’s career (2005), with a 6-2 league mark. The ‘Cats compiled an 8-4 overall record that included an NCAA second-round game at Wofford. As a result, Coach Mac was tabbed the New England Division I Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston for the fourth time (2000, ‘04, ‘09, ‘12), earned his fourth New England Football Writers Division I FCS Coach of the Year honor (‘05, ‘08, ‘10, ‘12) and was feted as the AFCA Regional Coach of the Year for the third time (‘04, ‘05, ‘12).

UNH OVERVIEW: New Hampshire enters Saturday’s game ranked No. 23 in the Sports Network Top-25. The Wildcats have been ranked in the Top-25 for 137 consecutive polls, the longest streak in FCS football, which dates back to Sept. 13, 2004. UNH has won four of their last five games, and come off a 33-17 home win over James Madison. While the Wildcats are 4-0 on their home gridiron, they have struggled on the road, owning a 1-4 records, including a 17-0 shutout loss at William & Mary in their most recent away game. Offensively, quarterbacks Andy Vailas (115-189-5, 1,234 yard, 6 TD) and Sean Goldrich (79-120-3, 973 yards, 8 TD) have shared time in the pocket and have both proven to be effective. UNH’s passing offense ranks second in the CAA, averaging 255.3 yards per game. Wide receiver Justin Mello leads the team with 50 receptions and six touchdowns, while R.J. Harris (36 catches) and Harold Spears (27 catches) have each caught four TD passes. On the ground, Nico Steriti has netted 668 yards on 126 carries, rushing for six touchdowns. Defensively, Shane McNeely leads the squad with 72 tackles, including three sacks.

LAST TIME OUT: Junior wide receiver R.J. Harris returned from a threegame injury absence to register a career-high three touchdowns to power the 25th-ranked University of New Hampshire football team to Saturday afternoon’s 33-17 CAA victory over No. 22 James Madison before a crowd of 6,084 at Cowell Stadium. UNH, which earned its fourth win in five games, improved to 5-4 on the season and 4-2 in the CAA. JMU, which dropped its third straight matchup against the Wildcats, dropped to 6-4, 3-3. Harris racked up 10 catches for 183 receiving yards, which marked his ninth career 100-yard receiving game. The WR climbed to No. 6 in all-time receptions (170) and No. 8 in all-time receiving yards (2,219) at UNH. Justin Mello set personal bests with 10 catches for 123 yards. Andy Vailas, who started at quarterback for the first time since Oct. 5 at Towson, completed 28 passes in 49 attempts for 397 yards – all career highs. The junior signal caller threw for two TDs and was picked off once after being named the starter just prior to game time.

HEAD COACH BOB FORD “The Architect of UAlbany Football” The architect of the University at Albany football program, Bob Ford has established a solid reputation with his positive attitude and a coaching philosophy that instills loyalty among each member of his team and staff.

Ford, who has been UAlbany’s only head coach since the program was reinstated after a 46-year absence, was appointed on April 27, 1970. Since then, he has compiled a 41-season varsity record of 256-167 as the Great Dane mentor, while his 265 career victories rank first among active NCAA Division I college football head coaches. His UAlbany teams own a 98-67 mark as a Division I FCS program.

Announcing that he will retire at the end of the 2013 season, Ford (265189-1) will carry the Great Danes through UAlbany’s 41st varsity season, the program’s first year in the Colonial Athletic Association, and the first season at Bob Ford Field -- UAlbany’s brand new $19 million stadium.

In 2012, the Great Danes closed a 14-season chapter as an associate member of the Northeast Conference, compiling a 78-24 record in the tenure. In their last season competing in the NEC, Ford piloted UAlbany to its sixth Northeast Conference title with a 9-2 overall record and 7-1 league mark.

UAlbany placed eleven players on the 2011 All-Northeast Conference squad, led by defensive end Eddie Delaney, who was just the second UAlbany defensive lineman to be recognized on three occasions during a career.

The squad finished up the 2011 season ranked on two national polls, and was receiving votes in a third. The Great Danes were voted 23rd in the Football Championship Subdivision Coaches’ Poll, and 21st in the Any Given Saturday FCS Poll. UAlbany was also receiving votes in the Sports Network Media Poll.

The Great Danes, who went 6-5 overall in 2010, established a school record with their fifth consecutive winning campaign.

THE COACH FORD FILE

Ford, who has served as president of the American Football Coaches Association, marched UAlbany to a 7-2 record in its inaugural campaign as a Division I-AA program in 1999. The Great Danes garnered seven wins in 2001, and finished among the conference’s top teams for the third straight year.

As a Division II program, Ford led the Great Danes to their second consecutive Eastern Football Conference championship, an EFC Atlantic Division title, and a 10-1 record in 1998. He was named the conference’s coach of the year for the second straight season. Ford also received the Gordon White-Herschel Nissenson Division II Coach of the Year Award by the Metropolitan New York Football Writers Association.

Ford coached his 1997 team to a school-record 11-1 mark and an EFC championship. For his efforts, he was named the Football Gazette Division II non-scholarship national Coach of the Year, and voted the top Region I coach by GTE and the American Football Coaches Association.

At one time, Ford was the youngest head football coach in the nation, when the 26-year-old took over the reins at St. Lawrence University in 1965. In his first season, he guided the Saints to an Independent Collegiate Athletic Conference (ICAC) title.

He arrived in the Capital Region five years later to start the first gridiron squad at the University since 1924.

After three seasons at the club level, the program was upgraded to varsity status in 1973, and finished with a 7-2 record. One year later, the Great Danes completed the school’s only undefeated season with a 9-0 mark.

Ford’s 1977 team earned a NCAA Division III playoff berth. After a season-opening loss, the Great Danes rebounded with nine consecutive victories. UAlbany defeated Hampden-Sydney in a thrilling 51-45 contest to begin the postseason before losing to eventual national champion Widener in the semifinals.

In 1978, Coach Ford’s mystique grew before a national audience on ABC television.

His last-minute addition of a field goal kicker direct from the soccer team paid off in a victory over third-ranked Ithaca. Dario Arango kicked a 45-yard field goal in the last two minutes to provide a 9-6 victory.

COACHING HISTORY

In 1985, the Great Danes rallied from a three-touchdown deficit for a 33-21 victory over Plymouth State and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) North championship. The ‘85 team, which produced one of the greatest comebacks in Ford’s coaching career, boasted offensive and defensive units which were nationally ranked, and supported by five Pizza Hut and one Associated Press All-America players.

UAlbany’s football program is also known for the high standards required of its coaching staff. Ford’s “coaching factory” has allowed many of his assistants to earn their master’s degrees while working at the collegiate level. According to a recent review, more than 100 coaches, who have started their careers under Ford’s tutelage, are currently employed with 60 different high schools, colleges, and professional teams from around the nation and the world.

A starting quarterback in his senior year at Springfield College in Massachusetts, Ford was given the “Greatest Desire to Improve” Award by the school’s athletic department. He received an undergraduate degree in physical education from Springfield in 1959, and later would earn his doctorate from the College in the same discipline. He gained a master’s degree from St. Lawrence in educational administration in 1960.

Ford’s first coaching opportunity came as an assistant at St. Lawrence in the fall of 1959. He then moved to Albright College in Pennsylvania as an assistant for four seasons, where he coached the secondary and offensive backfield, and was part of a program which produced a 21-game winning streak.

At Albright College, Ford also coached the wrestling and golf teams.

He returned to Springfield in 1964 as a secondary coach, and later was named defensive coordinator at his alma mater in 1969.

Beginning in 1977, Ford was UAlbany’s director of athletics for five years. During that time, he managed a program which sponsored 25 varsity sports for men and women.

A 1986 inductee into the Wachusett Regional High School Hall of Fame and a 2012 inductee into the Springfield College Hall of Fame, Ford is presently active in the National Football Foundation & Hall of Fame, and serves as vice president of the NFFCHF’s Capital District Chapter. He was honored by that organization in 2000 with its Service to Football Award.

Ford, 75, has been a member of the American Football Coaches Association’s Board of Trustees since 1994, and presently is serving on the AFCA’s Division I FCS All-America Team Selection Committee. Ford received the New York State Athletic Administrators Distinguished Service Award in 2005.

In August of 2010, Ford was recognized by the National Football Foundation Capital District Hall of Fame with its Service to Football Award.

Ford was previously presented by the UAlbany Alumni Association with its Citizen of the University Award in 2007 which recognizes outstanding contributions to the University by a non-alumnus or alumna through leadership, service or a special gift.

Ford and his wife, Donna, reside in the Capital Region. He has a daughter, Sherri Lee, son-in-law, Kevin, and two grandchildren, Aiden and Kyra.

UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY FOOTBALL 20

ABOUT UALBANY ATHLETICS UAlbany’s intercollegiate athletics program excels at the NCAA Division I level, producing competitive teams, successful coaches, and outstanding student-athletes recognized for their accomplishments both on the field and in the classroom. The University sponsors 19 varsity sports for men and women. Club sports, an intramural program, and recreational opportunities are also offered.

A member of the America East Conference since 2001, 17 of the school’s 19 varsity teams are eligible for conference championships and NCAA post-season competition. Women’s golf is an associate member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and football, a Division I FCS program, enters its first year as an associate member of the Colonial Athletic Association in 2013 after competing in the Northeast Conference for the past 14 seasons.

UAlbany has won 66 conference championships and produced 27 NCAA Tournament teams since moving to Division I in 1999.

Celebrating the school’s most successful year in Division I history in 2012-13, UAlbany won a record nine conference championships, while making four NCAA Tournament appearances.

The Great Danes also won the America East Commissioner’s Cup for the second time in school history, as field hockey, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s indoor track & field, women’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field, women’s outdoor track & field, and men’s lacrosse captured conference titles. Football also won its sixth NEC championship and had two players sign NFL Free Agent contracts.

The Great Danes won eight championships in the 2010-11 academic year, including field hockey, volleyball, women’s lacrosse, softball and all four track & field titles. The lacrosse program, among the top 10 in both national polls, won its first-ever league crown and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.

Volleyball, field hockey and softball also made the NCAA field.

In 2006-07, the Great Danes had a breakout year as a Division I program with conference championships in men’s basketball, men’s lacrosse, softball, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, men’s indoor track, women’s volleyball and baseball. In the spring of 2007, men’s lacrosse and softball became the first UAlbany teams at the Division I level to record victories in NCAA

post-season competition.

In 2005-06, men’s basketball produced one of the most significant achievements in the school’s intercollegiate history with its first-ever NCAA Division I berth. UAlbany won the first of two consecutive league titles. The program’s storied turnaround resulted in a strong NCAA showing against No. 2 Connecticut. UAlbany was awarded the 2004-05 Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup, which annually recognizes the strongest athletic program in the America East. In 2008, football won its fourth Northeast Conference championship and the Gridiron Classic.

UAlbany has an athletic history that dates back to the late 1890s when the first known intercollegiate teams arrived on campus.

UAlbany competed at the college division level prior to the NCAA’s restructuring in 1972. The athletic program moved from Division III to Division II in 1995-96.

The quality of UAlbany’s athletic program is evidenced by some of the finest facilities in the nation. The indoor and outdoor physical education design is among the most comprehensive in the Northeast. In the spring of 1992, the University opened SEFCU Arena (formerly Recreation & Convocation Center), an $11 million state-of-the-art facility. SEFCU Arena is the home for UAlbany’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, and has a .11 mile indoor track. The 4,538-seat arena also serves as a major venue for community events such as rock and pop concerts, sporting events and University activities. The playing surface on the arena’s three basketball courts and the surrounding track were completely renovated in December 2004.

In addition, SEFCU Arena contains a fitness center; four racquetball/handball courts and four squash courts; athletic training and rehabilitation facilities with three whirlpool baths, a musculoskeletal evaluation device and other therapeutic machines.

Adjacent to SEFCU Arena is the Physical Education Building which houses University Gymnasium; three full-size playing surfaces which can be used for basketball, volleyball, and tennis; four racquetball/handball courts; four squash courts; a swimming pool; a weight training and fitness center with Olympic weights; an aerobic exercise room and a dance studio.

SEFCU Arena and Physical Education

Building were air-conditioned in March 1996, as the state appropriated funds for renovations and permanent improvements to the University’s facilities. The $2.3 million in funding was prompted by the New York Giants’ decision to hold its football training camp on campus.

The project brought together the region’s community in what proved to be a successful partnership.

Additionally, UAlbany’s air-supported structure, fitted with a brand-new covering with minor interior renovations in the spring of 2003, is located to the east of the Physical Education Building, and may be utilized for tennis, basketball, and indoor football practice.

The indoor complex is complemented by fine outdoor facilities, highlighted by 201213’s substantial additions. The University constructed a synthetic turf field designed for year-round recreational, intramural and club sport activities; a state-of-the-art 8,500 seat multi-sport complex for football and soccer; and a brand new track and field venue. There are also 12 lighted tennis courts and numerous fields for football, soccer, softball, baseball, lacrosse, field hockey, and other events.

The practice fields on the Western Avenue side of campus were renovated in 2012 with 263,000 square feet of two-inch-thick athletic sod and the irrigation system was refurbished.

UAlbany broke ground on the site of what has become two all-weather athletic fields in May 2005. “John Fallon Field” is the home to the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, a sand and rubber infill turf field that stretches 99,450 square feet. An adjacent surface known as “Alumni Turf Field” is used for women’s field hockey in addition to serving as a multi-use recreational field for UAlbany students. The second phase of the complex’s construction, which includes seating for nearly 2,500 spectators, was completed in the fall of 2008.

ABOUT THE CAA Now six years under the CAA banner, CAA Football has raised the profile of what was once the Yankee Conference and later the Atlantic 10 Conference when it took the reins of the league in 2007.

Over the past six years, the league has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences with regard to on-thefield success, television exposure, marketability and the success of its student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, in the community and at the next level.

Although CAA Football was not represented in the FCS National Championship game a season ago for just the second time since 2005, the league continued to enjoy tremendous success over the course of the 2012 season. This past fall was the first in CAA Football’s five-year agreement with the NBC Sports Group, in which six nationally televised tilts aired on the NBC Sports Network as part of the league’s 42 total televised contests. The CAA and CAA Football is the first collegiate athletic conference to sign a broadcast agreement with the NBC Sports Network, which launched on January 2, 2012.

CAA Football once again proved its prowess in matchups with nonconference foes, maintaining what has become a long tradition of success against non-league FCS opponents. The 2012 season saw the conference’s 11 member programs combine for an 18-7 (.720) mark in FCS nonconference play.

The league’s strong presence in the national polls remained another constant in 2012. The conference completed the season with six teams ranked in both The Sports Network and FCS Coaches polls. The six ranked programs represented an FCS best after as many as seven squads were ranked during the season. CAA Football remains the only league in the nation to have ever had six or more teams ranked in either top 25 poll. The league also leads the nation on another impressive front, as New Hampshire boasts FCS Football’s longest active streak at 126 consecutive weeks ranked in The Sports Network poll.

CAA Football had another heavy presence when it came to postseason awards as well, most notably after taking two of The Sports Network’s four national awards at the organization’s annual banquet in December. After the league locked up three of the four awards in 2011, Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke was named the Walter Payton Player of the Year and Villanova’s John Robertson received the Jerry Rice Freshman of the Year Award.

Nova head coach Andy Talley would come up just short of winning

his second Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award, finishing as the national runner-up for the honor.

The league has also set itself apart at the next level, as evidenced by reigning Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco and his four fellow CAA Football alums turned Baltimore Ravens who can now call themselves 2013 World Champions. This success in the professional ranks was also witnessed when four conference players in William and Mary’s B.W. Webb, James Madison’s Earl Watford, Richmond’s Cooper Taylor and New Hampshire’s Jared Smith were taken in April’s NFL Draft. The four draft selections were the league’s most since 2010.

CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident in 2012 as well. This fall, the league proudly introduced its inaugural Chuck Boone Leadership Award – honoring the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic pursuits – to UNH’s Chris Zarkoskie, who was as active in the classroom and in the community as he was excellent on the field. In addition to his outstanding athletic accomplishments, UR’s Cooper Taylor was selected as CAA Football’s Student-Athlete of the Year after closing out his collegiate career with both Academic All-America and All-District accolades.

Following the departures of Georgia State and Old Dominion in the 2012-13 offseason, the league is now proud to welcome a pair of proven programs in UAlbany and Stony Brook to the conference this year. The Great Danes join the league after locking up a share of two straight Northeast Conference titles, while the Seawolves have secured four consecutive Big South Conference titles and two straight trips to the postseason. Both programs also closed out 2012 with a presence in the final national polls, as SBU finished No. 11/12 and UAlbany received votes in both polls.

The league has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 83 total postseason berths that includes 38 over the last decade. Playoff appearances aren’t where the success stops, however, which CAA Football’s 53 playoff wins since 2002 certainly prove.

The conference has further established its presence at the national level by placing eight teams in the national semifinal round over the last six seasons and advancing a team to the national title game in four of the last six years.

Richmond’s 2008 National Championship and Villanova’s 2009 title mark the most recent national crowns for the league. In 2004,

UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY FOOTBALL 41

James Madison claimed the National Championship title with a 31-21 triumph over Montana, becoming the first team since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986 to reach the championship game after winning three road playoff contests. Delaware rolled past Colgate, 40-0, to capture the National Championship in 2003, becoming the first team to ever post a shutout in the title game. No other conference has had two different teams win national titles in back-toback years, and CAA Football has done it twice (2003-04 and 2008-09). Massachusetts earned a National Championship in 1998, defeating perennial power Georgia Southern, 55-43.

After Heinicke and Robertson received their respective national honors in December, CAA Football now boasts a total of 25 individual national award winners. In addition to Heinicke, New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William and Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) have all won the prestigious Walter Payton Award under the league banner. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd (2001) and defensive lineman Arthur Moats (2009) each received the Buck Buchanan Award prior to UNH linebacker Matt Evans’ honor in 2011. CAA Football has swept the Rice Award in both years of its existence after Robertson won it a year ago and Towson running back Terrance West did so in 2011. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999 & 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) were Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award winners from the league before Towson head coach Rob Ambrose received the award in 2011. Delaware’s K.C. Keeler (2010), Richmond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997 & 2009) have all garnered the American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year honor as well.

The league continues to enjoy great success beyond the collegiate playing field, too. CAA Football has had 104 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 28 players have been selected in the draft over the last 10 years, including the league’s second-highest draft pick ever in former Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). There are more than 30 players currently on active NFL rosters as well.

With the additions of UAlbany and Stony Brook this year, CAA Football’s geographic footprint has only been further deepened up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to Virginia. This season’s members include UAlbany, Delaware, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years.

On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operation control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004.

Shortly after the conclusion of the 2013 NFL Draft, University at Albany football players Jon Morgan and Drew Smith signed free agent contracts with the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills, respectively.

Linebacker Jon Morgan, a two-time first-team All-NEC honoree, led UAlbany with 72 tackles, three interceptions, and two blocked kicks in UAlbany’s 2012 NEC championship season. The Copiague, N.Y. native finished his career ranked eighth all-time at UAlbany with 265 career tackles.

Tailback Drew Smith also boasted a historic collegiate career, finishing as UAlbany’s all-time leader for touchdowns scored (45) and the co-leader for all-time rushing touchdowns (40). In four active seasons, Smith accrued 3,196 career rushing yards and 4,721 all-purpose yards, both good for second all-time. In 2012, the Schenectady, N.Y. native eclipsed the 1,000 rushing yards mark for the second time in his career and the 10th time in program history, rushing for 1,001 yards and 18 touchdowns, while totaling 1,280 all-purpose yards. Smith also led the NEC and ranked fourth at the FCS level for scoring (11.40).

In 2007, Rashad Barksdale was taken in the sixth round of the National Football League Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Barksdale, who was the 201st player selected, marked the second UAlbany football player to be chosen in the NFL Draft. He was released by the Eagles and immediately signed by the Kansas City Chiefs off waivers.

Barksdale became the first Great Dane to play in an NFL regular-season game on Oct. 7, 2007 against Jacksonville. Barksdale, a defensive back for the Arena Football League’s Kansas City Command in 2011-12 and currently on the Tampa Bay Storm roster, played just one season for the Great Danes as a cornerback. He came to the program as a walk-on prior to the 2006 campaign after earning two varsity letters as an outfielder on the UAlbany baseball squad. Barksdale, who was named to the Football Gazette mid-major All-America team, accounted for 39 tackles and three interceptions.

Also in 2007, Andre Coleman and Jacob Hobbs signed as free agents with the San Diego Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively. Coleman, who spent three seasons on the Chargers’ practice squad and played during the 2009 regular season, was a consensus first-team mid-major All-America defensive end.

Previously, offensive tackle Geir Gudmundsen joined the Buffalo Bills as a free agent in 2005. Split end Dan Gmelin (San Diego Chargers) and tight end Seth Thomas (Carolina Panthers) signed as free agents in 1997. Defensive end Matt Caliandro inked a free-agent deal with the Tennessee Titans the following year.

Kurt Campbell was the first UAlbany player taken in the NFL Draft. He went in the seventh round to the Green Bay Packers in 2005.

Campbell, a former UAlbany captain, also spent time with Oakland and Tennessee and was signed by the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders in May 2009.

2013 UALBANY ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME CLASS ALISSA GIBBS (VOLLEYBALL, 1999-2002) – A two-time first-team All-America East Conference honoree, Alissa Gibbs marked the first dominant player in the Great Danes’ Division I volleyball era. Gibbs led UAlbany to its first winning Division I season in 2002 with a 16-15 overall record, while being named the 2002-03 America East Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also ranked fourth among the conference leaders in kills (3.76 pg) and second in aces (0.57 pg) during her senior campaign.

As a junior, Gibbs ranked 10th among NCAA leaders in kills, averaging 5.01 per game. She was also named to the first team All-Independent Conference as a sophomore.

Despite the adversity of being both a diabetic and a college athlete, the outside hitter finished her career ranked second on the school’s all-time list in kills with 1,376, as well as fourth in digs with 992. A decade later, she still ranks among the top-10, sitting in third for all-time kills and 10th for digs.

The Ballston Lake, N.Y. native earned the ECAC Merit Medal in 2003, given to the University’s top senior female student-athlete.

1974 FOOTBALL

TODD CETNAR (BASKETBALL, 1996-2000) – The 1999-2000 UAlbany Male Athlete of the Year, Todd Cetnar played in 109 games in four seasons with the Great Danes. With 1,345 points, Cetnar finished his career ninth on the all-time scoring list and marked one of two players in school history at the time to combine for 1,000 points, 350 assists, and 150 steals.

At the time of his graduation, the 6-foot guard ranked second in steals (188), fifth in assists (367), and third in both three-point field goals (215) and free throw percentage (.816) in UAlbany’s record book, and still ranks among the Great Danes’ top-10 over a decade later.

Scoring a career-high 30 points against Elon in the program’s first Division I victory, Cetnar was named first-team All-Independent Conference in the program’s inaugural DI campaign in 2000. That season, he averaged 16.1 points, 4.2 assists, and 2.1 steals per game.

Cetnar was also named to the 1999 All-New England Collegiate Conference team, averaging 16.2 points and 3.8 assists as a junior. As a sophomore, Cetnar started on the 1997-98 team that went 19-8 and made an ECAC Division II appearance.

After graduation, Cetnar went on to play professionally, participating in a number of NBA camps, and played in the CBA, NBDL and USBL. Cetnar is also a former assistant coach at Plymouth State and Union College.

1974 FOOTBALL TEAM – The 1974 football squad is the second team inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining the 1993-94 men’s basketball team. In just the second season as a varsity program, the ’74 squad, headed by coaching legend Bob Ford, made history with a perfect 9-0 record. In 40 varsity seasons, the team is the only football team to go undefeated.

Not only did the team triumph every game, they did so in dominating fashion, winning by an average margin of 31.2 points.

Offensively, sophomore fullback Tom DeBlois became the first UAlbany player to gain more than 1,000 rushing yards in one season, totaling 1,009. In addition, Orin Griffin, Marvin Perry, and Glenn Sowalskie rushed for a combined total of 1,596 yards, as the team totaled 3,254 yards on the ground. Mike Basla, Tom Cleary, Ty Curran, Andy Lee, Bruce Court, and Dom Roncone cleared the way and opened holes on the offensive line.

In the pocket, quarterbacks John Bertuzzi and Dave Ahonen completed a combined total of 22 passes, including 11 for touchdowns. Bob Baxter led the squad with 10 catches and six scores, while Don Whitley had three receptions and two touchdowns.

Defensively, the starters consisting of Rudy Vido, Frank Villanova, Tim Myers, Dom Pagano, Don Mion, Skip Scurry, Bill Brown, Arnie Will, Ken Schoen, Ralph Naples, and Bruce Cummings held opponents to a miniscule average of 2.4 yards on the ground and three total rushing touchdowns. They also logged 28 interceptions, averaging 3.2 per game.

The UAlbany 1974 football team was one of just five NCAA Division III programs in the nation to go undefeated that season.
