Airing It Out
• Fairmont State has turned to junior college transfer Bobby Vega to lead the team this year, and Vega has responded. • Vega is third in the WVIAC in passing yards per game with 208.4. • With one game remaining, Vega is tied for ninth in touchdown passes with 15 and 10th in yards with 1,876. He needs 124 yards passing against Shepherd to be just the fourth player in school history to pass for 2,000 yards. • He has been intercepted just once in the last four games. • Vega has two 300-yard passing games in nine games this year. He is the first FSU quarterback to have multiple 300-yard passing games in a season since Bryan Harman (2001) and the first FSU QB to have multiple 300-yard passing games in a career since Bryan Harman (1998-01). • Vega’s game vs. West Liberty was record-setting in a variety of ways. Vega set the school record for passing attemps with 67, surpassing the previous record by nine attempts. His 361 yards passing against the Hilltoppers were tied for the seventh-most in a single game by a FSU quarterback, and were the most passing yards by a Falcon quarterback not named “Harman” or “Furgason.” His 83-yard pass TD completion to C.J. Goodwin was tied for the third-longest passing play in school history. Vega’s 34 completions in the game were just three shy of the FSU single-game mark. • Vega had five touchdown passes against WV Wesleyan. • Vega has been held under 100 yards passing just twice this season (Glenville State and Concord).
Scouting Shepherd
• Bobby Cooper is first in the conference in pass efficiency (130.29) and fourth in total offense (197.22). Cooper has completed 142-of-238 passes for 1,720 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has also thrown eight interceptions this season. • Keon Robinson is tied for first in the conference in interceptions. Robinson has intercepted four passes and broken up nine passes. He is also third on the teams with 42 tackles (34 solo). • Robinson is also the teams leading kick returner and punt returner this season. He averages 22 yards per kick return and 10 yards per punt return. Robinson has returned a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown this season. • Running back Mike Haynes leads the team with 92 carries for 313 yards and three touchdowns. Allen Cross has chipped in with 271 yards on 74 carries and seven touchdowns. • Larry Lowe leads the Rams in receiving with 38 catches for 494 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Billy Brown leads the team with four receiving touchdowns this season. • A.J. Parrish leads the Ram defense with 49 tackles, including 34 solo and five for a loss. Dominique Dixon is second on the team with 46 tackles (25 solo). He also has six stops for a loss and two sacks. • Dominic Tolson earned Defensive Player of the Week honors last week after recording a game-high 10 tackles and a 45-yard interception return in the final minute to seal the Shepherd victory over Glenville State. • Shepherd is scoring on 86 percent of its red zone attempts and 69 percent of the time they score touchdowns. The Rams have only given up 20 points in the fourth quarter of games this season. • Shepherd’s defense has only allowed 387 rushing yards all season and is allowing just 1.5 yards per carry.
Something Special
• Matt Wilmer put together a remarkable junior season as a return specialist for the Falcons. Wilmer led the country in yards per punt return with 23.0. He was named Super Region 1 Special Teams Player of the Year and second team All-America by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette. He was a first team All-WVIAC selection and second team Daktronics All-Atlantic Region honoree. • This season he is 10th in the country in average kickoff return yards with 28.62 and is 18th in average punt return yards with 13.67. • In the opener against Clarion, Wilmer clearly had the attention of the Golden Eagles. Clarion’s five punts were angled away from Wilmer and went out of bounds. • The electricity showed up against Glenville State as Wilmer notched a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, the first of his career. For his play, he was named WVIAC Special Teams Player of the Week. • Against Bowie State, Wilmer had 121 all-purpose yards (17 receiving, 58 kick return and 43 punt return). • He once again led the team in all-purpose yards against Charleston with 126. • Wilmer had his best day as a receiver at Fairmont State againstn West Virginia Wesleyan with seven catches for 163 yards and three touchdowns against the Bobcats. All of those were career highs. He was named WVIAC Offensive Player of the Week for his peformance against the Bobcats. • Wilmer was electric on Senior Day against West Virginia State racking up 241 all-purpose yards. He had a career-high 120 kickoff return yards, which included an 86-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, had five carries for 54 yards, three catches for 41 yards, returned two punts for 26 yards and hauled in a two-point conversion. Wilmer was named WVIAC Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season following his performance against the Yellow Jackets. • He leads the team and is third in the WVIAC in all-purpose yards with an average of 147.0. He is one of just six players in the league to have over 1,000 all-purpose yards this season

(1,323). • Wilmer has accounted for 25 of Fairmont State’s 72 plays of 20 yards or more this season. • Twenty-one of his 30 catches have gone for either a first down or touchdown this season.
Receiving Saint
• FSU junior wide receiver Chris St. Hilaire, who had a strong sophomore season, has picked up where he left off last season. • Through nine games, St. Hilaire has a career-high 42 catches for 484 yards and three touchdowns this season. • He is sixth in the league in receptions per game (5.2) and seventh in receiving yards per game (60.5). • He has two games of 100 yards or more receiving this season and four 100-yard receiving games for his career. • Twenty-two of his 42 catches this year have gone for either a first down or touchdown. Eight of those catches have come on third down. • For his career, he has 102 catches for 1,427. His 102 catches are 10th all-time at FSU, and he needs just 39 more receiving yards to crack the career top 10 at FSU in that category.
Injury Report
• FSU suffered a big blow by losing Dewey McDonald to injury during a preseason scrimmage. McDonald, an All-America candidate and NFL prospect, will redshirt the season and return to the Falcon lineup in 2013. • During the game against Clarion, McDonald’s replacement at the free safety position, Leatis Jones, was also injured and has not returned to the lineup since. Bryan Wilson, a backup to McDonald for two seasons, is manning the free safety spot. • FSU junior wide receiver (and holder) Mark Sampson was injured at Charleston and is not on the depth chart. Backup quarterback Tyler Pate will serve as the holder on special teams. • Linebacker Trevor Malnick was in the midst of a strong freshman campaign before breaking his arm prior to the WV Wesleyan game.
“Stew” & JW
• Fairmont State will be sporting “Stew” and “JW” stickers on the helmet this year in honor of alum Bill Stewart and Jack Wilson, who both passed away earlier this year. • Stewart will also be inducted into the Fairmont State Athletic Association Hall of Fame later this fall. • Stewart played for head coach Deacon Duvall in the early 1970s and was captain of the 1974 WVIAC championship team. He also got his coaching start as an assistant at Fairmont State. • Jack Wilson spent many years on the FSU sidelines working on the chain crew.
Preseason Notebook
• Fairmont State will open the season without a player who has started a game at quarterback at the NCAA Division II level. However, the Falcons will rely on Bobby Vega, a junior college transfer who threw for nearly 2,000 yards and 23 touchdowns last season at College of Dupage. • FSU lost its starting punter, place kicker, long snapper and holder from last year. • Fairmont State averaged 30 points per game last season -- the fifth highest season average in school history. • The Falcons return their leading rusher and scorer (Daniel Monroe), leading receiver (Chris St. Hilaire), leading tackler/TFL/sacks (Garrett Davis) and leading return man (Matt Wilmer). However, FSU lost several players “in the trenches.” The Falcons graduated two of its three starting defensive linemen, and two players on the offensive line. • Twelve different players recorded interceptions for the Falcons last season. Seven of those players return to the team this year. • Fairmont State has announced that it will join a new league, the Mountain East Conference, starting in 2013-14. The new twelve team league’s charter membership will include: Concord, Fairmont State, Glenville State, Notre Dame, Shepherd, University of Charleston, University of Virginia’s College at Wise (Va.), Urbana, West Liberty, West Virginia State, Wheeling Jesuit, and West Virginia Wesleyan College. • Former defensive end standout Luke Black was picked up as a free agent by the Cincinnati Bengals and is competing for a spot on their roster.

West Virginia State Notebook By Duane Cochran for FightingFalcons.com
FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- Matt Wilmer continued his magical senior season in a big way Saturday accounting for a season-high 241 allpurpose yards in Fairmont State’s 48-28 victory over West Virginia State on Senior Day at Duvall-Rosier Field. Included among Wilmer’s 241 all-purpose yards was an 86-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the second quarter which gave the Falcons the lead in the game for good and sparked both his team’s offense and defense. After Wilmer’s touchdown return gave FSU a 21-14 lead, the Falcons’ offense proceeded to score touchdowns on four of its next six possessions to open a commanding 48-14 lead early in the fourth quarter. Wilmer returned a pair of kickoffs for 120 yards, ran the football four times for 54 yards, caught three passes for 41 yards and returned three punts for 26 yards. With the 120 kickoff return yards Saturday Wilmer moved into fifth place all-time in school history with 846 career kickoff return yards. He already ranks second in FSU history in career punt return yards with 956. If he can record 44 punt return yards in his final game Saturday at Shepherd he’ll become only the second player in school history to total 1,000 punt return yards for his career. Bill Ewusiak (1965-67) owns the school record with 1,439. For the season Wilmer has returned 16 kickoffs for 458 yards and two touchdowns and 21 punts for 287 yards. He also has a career-high 30 receptions this fall for 462 yards and a team-leading five touchdowns and he’s run the football 13 times for 116 yards and one score. His 1,323 all-purpose yards this fall are the most for a Falcon player since running back Wendell Johnson rolled up 1,522 all-purpose yards way back in 2004. Wilmer also leads FSU in scoring this season with 50 points. “He’s a special player,” said Fairmont State sophomore running back Daniel Monroe. “Any time you know the ball is going to him you’re waiting for something special to happen. The funny thing is he’s kind of hard to block for because you’re never quite sure what he’s going to do. Is he going to cut this way or that way. Is he going to shake someone, stiff arm someone or just flat out run past somebody. He’s just a very exciting player to watch. “In my opinion he is an NFL prospect and that’s why he’s getting looks. Week in and week out he proves that on the field.”

FSU junior defensive end Jake Kelly agrees. “When the ball is in his hands he’s going to make something happen,” said Kelly. “The guy is so fun to watch. There’s no question he’s been a difference maker for us. I think hands down he’s the best all-around player in this league.” *** Junior receiver Chris St. Hilaire had five catches for 49 yards and one touchdown in Saturday’s victory. He now has 102 career receptions for 1,427 yards and 10 touchdowns. He ranks 10th all-time in school history with his 102 catches and needs just 40 more receiving yards to move into 10th place all-time in FSU history in that statistical category. Sophomore running back Daniel Monroe’s career-high four rushing touchdowns in the win over West Virginia State give him eight for the season and 21 for his career. The 21 rushing touchdowns tie him with former standout quarterback Bryan Harman for the eighth most in school history. Junior quarterback Bobby Vega’s 1,876 passing yards this fall are the 10th most in a single season in school history. Vega has completed 153-of-299 passes for 1,876 yards and 15 touchdowns. He’s been intercepted nine times. In Fairmont’s last four games, three of which have been victories, he’s thrown nine touchdowns and just one interception. *** Junior defensive end Jake Kelly has stepped up big for Fairmont State since sophomore starter Jephte Leveille went down with a potential season-ending shoulder injury early in the Concord game last week. Kelly recorded a career-high 14 tackles against the Mountain Lions, including four for losses. He backed that performance up Saturday with an eight-tackle outing in the victory over West Virginia State. Included among his eight stops were two tackles for losses. He also tipped a pass which helped lead to an interception by linebacker Garrett Davis. Kelly, a 6-2, 230-pounder from Charleston, is now second on the team to Davis in total tackles with 47 and is tied for second on the squad in tackles for losses with eight.
“Jake is a great kid who has been a very patient player for us,” said FSU head coach Mike Lopez. “He’s hung in there and done everything we’ve asked him to do and now he’s getting an opportunity and producing for us. “You can’t have enough guys like him on a team. He’s 100 percent sold on what we’re doing and he’s got a huge heart and a great work ethic. He’s a player in the mold of a Jake Owens, a Luke Black and a Brandon Geary. He puts extra time in, in the weight room and does exactly what we ask him to do on the field. He follows his assignments to a T and as a result makes big plays for us because of that.” Kelly redshirted out of Captial High School as a true freshman in 2009 and did not see any action as a redshirt freshman in 2010. Last year he was asked to move from linebacker to defensive end and played in just four games and totaled four tackles. “My sophomore year I got moved to Dline behind Luke Black and Devin Johnson and it really was a great learning experience playing behind those two guys,” said Kelly. “Jordan Greathouse has also really helped me a lot and when he went down early this year I knew I had step up and produce for the team. I hated to see that, but we’ll get him back next year which is good. “Right now I feel pretty comfortable out there on the field and it’s because I had so many great guys in front of me who worked with me and taught me the ropes. I’m having fun this year and I’m excited about next year because we’re going to have a lot of experience, talent and depth on our D-line.”

Last Year vs. Shepherd
Shepherd 38, Fairmont State 21 November 12, 2011 | Fairmont, W.Va. FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- Shepherd erased a 14-10 first half deficit by scoring 28 unanswered points to defeat Fairmont State, 38-21, on Saturday afternoon at Duvall-Rosier Field on Senior Day. The Rams used a balanced attack on offense with 161 yards rushing and 160 through the air. SU’s Tommy Addison became the first player to rush for over 100 yards in a game against Fairmont State this season with 114 yards. Bobby Cooper was a tidy 12-of-23 for 160 yards and two touchdowns against one interception to lead the Rams. Elijah Davis produced an 80-yard interception return for a touchdown to help spark the Rams. Shepherd’s defense harassed Fairmont State by forcing eight sacks on the afternoon and limiting the Falcons to just 43 yards on the ground. Logan Moore was 16-of-30 passing for 171 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also added 30 yards and a score on the ground for the Falcons. Ryland Newman again provided FSU with a 72-yard punt return for a touchdown to help lead the Falcons. Dewey McDonald led the Falcons defensively with 15 total tackles (eight solo). Garrett Davis added nine tackles and Raynell Hall had eight and an interception. Trailing 10-0, Aubura Taylor got Fairmont State going with a 57-yard punt return that set the Falcons up at the Shepherd 36-yard line. St. Hilaire then hauled in a nine-yard slant from Moore to make it 10-7. The FSU defense came up and forced another punt, and this time it was Newman supplying the spark with a 72-yard punt return for a touchdown to give the Falcons a 14-10 lead. The Shepherd defense tightned and the Rams pulled away in the second half. Neal Hardie caught a 22-yard touchdown to give the Rams back the lead and the Rams later added a TD from Kenny Williams to make it 24-14. SU turned an FSU turnover into a touchdown in the fourth quarter to essentially put the game away. Score

Last Time At Shepherd
Shepherd 19, Fairmont State 16 Sep. 18, 2010 | Shepherdstown, W.Va SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. --Shepherd’s Eric Dobratz hit a late 32-yard field goal to give the Rams a 19-16 win over Fairmont State on Saturday afternoon at Rams Stadium in Shepherdstown. FSU had to rally from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to tie the game at 16-16. Frank Keenan hit a 25-yard field goal and then later Logan Moore hit Patrick Pinchinat in the back field for a touchdown to tie the score. FSU had one last attempt after the Dobratz field goal put SU up 19-16, but on the third play of FSU’s possession, Logan Moore’s pass deflected off a diving Matt Wilmer and then into the arms of Shepherd’s Keon Robinson that effectively ended the Falcon rally. In a game featuring two of the league’s best defenses, Fairmont State had slight advantages statistically in rushing yards (125-103), passing yards (151-138) and first downs (16-14). Moore was 11-25 for 151 yards with a pair of interceptions and two touchdowns. Patrick Pinchinat led the Falcons on the ground with 14 carries for 64 yards, and added a pair of catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. Wilmer had a 34-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Defensively for Fairmont State, Dan Dario had 15 total tackles to lead the way for the Falcons. Greg Underwood was solid with six tackles and one interception. Daniel Strosnider recorded two tackles for a loss. For Shepherd, Kevin Clancy was 13-18 for 138 yards and an interception. Tommy Addison got the majority of carries toting the ball 18 times for 44 yards and one touchdown. Nate Hoyte had nine carries for 42 yards and a score. Robert Byrd recorded three catches for 39 yards. Score

Game 1 | Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012 | Clarion, Pa. Clarion 7, Fairmont State 0
CLARION, Pa. -- Clarion’s Ben Fiscus connected with Mark Nicholas on a 27yard touchdown pass in the third quarter and the Golden Eagle defense pitched a shutout to defeat Fairmont State, 7-0, in the season-opener at Memorial Stadium. Fiscus had an efficient night going 14-of-21 for 136 yards and a touchdown passing and added 77 yards on the ground to pace the Golden Eagle offense. Bobby Thomas added 80 yards on the ground for Clarion. Fairmont State quarterback Bobby Vega had a solid first outing in a Falcon uniform connecting on 27-of-47 passes for 321 yards. He was intercepted twice. His favorite targets were Chris St. Hilaire who had eight catches for 108 yards and C.J. Goodwin who added six grabs for 55 yards. Clarion’s defense was led by Andrew Paronish who had six tackles, a fumble recovery, and a fourth quarter interception he returned for 27 yards. Fairmont State’s defense was paced by Scott Davidson who had eight total tackles and Daniel Strosnider who had four tackles and interception. The Falcons held the edge in total offense, 355-291, but were penalized 11 times for 120 yards in the game. Clarion was flagged seven times for 95 yards. The Golden Eagles stifled the Fairmont State running game holding the Falcons to just 34 yards on 30 carries in the game. Neither team made it into the red zone until the third quarter when FSU got to the Clarion 17 on its initial drive of the half. However, a penalty and a sack stalled the drive and the Falcons had to settle for a punt. The Golden Eagles countered on the ensuing drive marching 84 yards down for the score as Fiscus found Nicholas in tight coverage on a 27-yard score. Clarion looked to put the game away late in the fourth quarter as it lined up for a field goal, but Scott Davidson came off the edge and blocked the attempt to give FSU one last chance on offense. The Falcons worked the way down to the Clarion 8-yard line, but were moved back on a holding play to the 15. Facing third-and-goal, Vega’s pass to St. Hilaire was low and incomplete. With just 22 seconds left, Vega heaved an attempt in the back of the end zone where the pass was batted down by Clarion’s Jason Peterson to preserve the victory for the Golden Eagles. Score

• Quarterback Bobby Vega’s 321 yards passing vs. Clarion were the most by a quarterback in Lopez’s tenure as head coach. In fact, the 321 yards passing were the most by a Falcon quarterback since Oct. 27, 2001, when Bryan Harman threw for 354 yards against Concord. • Fairmont State was shutout for just the second time under offensive coordinator Bryan Fisher last week against Clarion. The last time the Falcons were held scoreless under Fisher was a 24-0 loss to UNC Pembroke in 2010. • FSU’s 7-0 loss to Clarion marked the first time that Fairmont State has lost when holding a team to under nine points under head coach Mike Lopez. • Clarion snapped a two-game losing streak to Fairmont State with its win over the Falcons. • For the third-straight year, the team with the most total offense lost the game. • The Fairmont State defense held Clarion to just 291 yards and did so with just one tackle for a loss of yards and no sacks. • Daniel Strosnider’s interception was the second of his career. The first interception of his career came two seasons ago against Glenville State. • Fairmont State’s Johnny Dearstine handled the kicking duties for the Falcons against Clarion. His kickoff went to the end zone where it was returned, and his 42-yard field goal attempt had plenty of distance but missed wide right.

Game 2 | Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 | Glenville, W.Va. Glenville State 41, Fairmont State 21
GLENVILLE, W.Va. -- Glenville State scored 34 first half points which proved to be more than enough in a 41-21 win over Fairmont State on Thursday night at Morris Stadium. The Pioneers racked up over 500 yards of total offense with 273 yards passing and another 254 on the ground. Darold Hughes completed 13-of-20 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns. Robert Jiles hauled in five passes for 142 yards, including touchdown receptions of 59 and 41 yards. Glenville State’s defense recorded four sacks and seven tackles for a loss in limiting Fairmont State to 196 yards of total offense. Shad Alexander led the way on the ground with 10 carries for 53 yards. Bobby Vega was 13-of-27 for 87 yards and two touchdown passes. Matt Wilmer provided a spark for the Falcons with a 100-yard kickoff return at the end of the first quarter for FSU. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown in his career. Freshman linebacker Trevor Malnick led the Falcons defensively with six total tackles, including two for a loss. The Pioneers raced out to a quick 17-0 lead in the first quarter lead before the Falcons got on the board with Wilmer’s 100-yard kick return for a touchdown as the quarter expired. Wilmer took the kick two yards deep in the end zone and went to his left and darted through traffic for the score. The Falcons could not capitalize on the momentum, though, as the Pioneers responded with a five-yard TD run from Quin Thornton. GSC added a field goal and a touchdown late in the quarter to give the Pioneers the big 34-7 cushion at the break. Glenville State got its only points of the second half on a 59-yard touchdown reception by Jiles from Hughes. On the play, the pass was deflected by two FSU defenders before finally being hauled in by Jiles to extend GSC’s lead to 41-7. Vega found Sampson in the back of the end zone on a short five-yard pass to start the fourth quarter to make it 41-14, and Vega later found Chris St. Hilaire for a seven-yard TD reception for the final points of the game and the 41-21 final.

• Matt Wilmer’s 100-yard kick return for a touchdown was the first of his career. It was technically a 102-yard kick return, but NCAA statisical guidelines mandate the maximum yardage on any play is 100 yards. Jerome Hoes had a 101-kickoff return for Fairmont State in 1978, but the NAIA guidelines allowed for plays to be longer than 100 yards at that time. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown for Fairmont State since Zack Page accomplished it in 2009 against WV State. • Freshman Shad Alexander led FSU in rushing with 10 carries for 53 yards. Daniel Monroe was held to under 100 yards rushing for the second-straight game. • Chris St. Hilaire’s touchdown reception was his first of the season and the seventh of his career. • Bobby Vega’s two touchdown passes were the first of his career at Fairmont State. • Mark Sampson’s touchdown catch was his first this season and fifth of his career. • GSC running back Rahmann Lee became just the second player in 13 games (dating back to last season) to rush for over 100 yards against Fairmont State. • The Pioneers had seven offensive plays go for 20 yards or more, including four of its touchdowns. • Freshman linebacker Trevor Malnick turned in a good performance for FSU with nine tackles, including two for a loss.

Game 3 | Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012 | Bowie, Md. Bowie State 24, Fairmont State 17 (OT)
BOWIE, Md. -- Bowie State scored 24 unanswered points to beat Fairmont State in overtime on Saturday afternoon at Bulldogs Stadium. The Bulldogs erased a 17-0 fourth quarter deficit to force overtime and win the game. The Falcons scored the only points of the opening half when Johnny Dearstine made a 22-yard field goal after Fairmont State recovered a Bowie State fumble inside the BSU 15 yard line. Fairmont State extended the lead in the third quarter after Davidson blocked a Bulldog field goal attempt that was scooped up by Newman and returned 57 yards for the FSU touchdown. The Falcons then went ahead 17-0 early in the fourth quarter after Vega capped off a four-play, 42 yard drive with a touchdown pass to Collin Alford. The Bulldogs needed just over a minute to respond with their first points of the game to make it 17-7. FSU was forced to punt on its next possession, and BSU cashed in with a 24-yard field goal to make it 17-10 with six minutes remaining. The Falcons could only use over two minutes on their next possession, and a 10-yard punt set Bowie State up in excellent shape taking over at Fairmont State’s 40-yard line. McNeil then knotted the game with a onehanded grab to tie the score at 17-17. FSU did march down the field and had a chance to win the game in regulation, but Dearstine’s 29-yard field goal missed wide right as time expired. On the opening drive of overtime, Bowie State converted twice on third down to stay alive before Acker scored on a 12-yard touchdown reception. The Falcons were unable to respond as Vega’s fourth down pass fell incomplete. Score

Off the free kick, Fairmont State would travel 46 yards in eight plays with the drive being capped by a 13-yard touchdown reception by Chris St. Hilaire to make it 12-0 early in the second quarter. The FSU defense forced a three-and-out, and then made it 19-0 on a five-yard TD reception by Matt Wilmer. The Hilltoppers would get back into the game late in the half.

West Liberty seized the momentum of the game on Fairmont State’s first possession as Jovontae Johnson scooped up a FSU fumble and rumbled 22 yards for the score to put the ‘Toppers in front 20-19. WLU pinned FSU on its own 13-yard line late in the third quarter, but that’s when Vega found C.J. Goodwin for an 87-yard bomb. The Falcons failed on the two-point conversion. The Falcon defense forced WLU three-and-out on its first two possessions of the fourth quarter and Wilson picked off Crow on their third possession. However, FSU could not add a score to ice the game, giving West liberty one last chance to win taking over with 2:35 to go.

FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- Fairmont State out-scored West Virginia Wesleyan 40-11 in the second half en route to a 49-32 victory over the Bobcats on Saturday afternoon at Duvall-Rosier Field. Bobby Vega was 15-of-30 for 275 yards and tossed a career-high five touchdown passes, all of which came in the second half. Matt Wilmer hauled in a career-high seven catches for 163 yards and three touchdown receptions. C.J. Goodwin had three catches, two for touchdowns, for 55 yards in the game. Daniel Monroe had a season-high 147 yards on the ground and notched his first touchdown of the season. The Falcon defense, led by Garrett Davis’ 11 tackles (eight solo), limited WVWC to just 91 yards on the ground.Jake Kelly had a big game with eight tackles (five solo) and one sack and forced fumble. Ryland Newman had five tackles and two interceptions. WVWC scored three touchdowns compared to three field goals for FSU in the first half to go ahead 21-9 to set the stage for FSU’s rally. Vega found Wilmer on a 35-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter. FSU opted to go for two but the attempt failed. WVWC responded with a 44-yard field goal from Kasper Bernild to stretch the lead to 24-15. Later in the quarter Vega hooked up with Goodwin from 24 yards to make cut the Bobcat lead to 24-22. The Falcon defense again held strong paving the way for another TD pass, this time from Vega to a streaking Wilmer down the sideline for a 47-yard score, to give FSU its first lead of the game at 28-24. On WVWC’s next offensive snap, Kelly stripped Musselman dropping back to pass and Andre Revere recovered to give FSU back the ball. Fairmont State took advantage, and Vega and Wilmer connected again from 21-yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 35-24. The Bobcats got back into the game with an eight-play, 75 yard drive capped by a Nyquan McGirt touchdown reception on its next possession. The WVWC defense forced a three-and-out and punt, but Newman picked off Musselman and returned it for another apparent touchdown, but it was once again wiped out due to penalty, and FSU was forced to punt. WVWC would face fourth-and-seven on its own 27 and trailing by three, and backup quarterback and punter Zane Zabrasky lined up to punt, but rolled out and opted to pass, but his attempt fell incomplete setting up FSU in good field position. The Falcons would capitalize as Vega threw his fifth TD pass of the half, this one to Goodwin from eight yards out to make it 42-32 with 5:50 to go. Monroe would later tack on a 17-yard TD run to seal the victory for FSU, 49-32. Score

Game 8 | Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012 | Athens, W.Va. Concord 41, Fairmont State 10
FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- Fairmont State’s Matt Wilmer hauled in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Bobby Vega to lift Fairmont State to a 54-47 win over Seton Hill on Saturday afternoon at Duvall-Rosier Field. FSU let a 20-point first half lead and a 16-point second half lead slip away before sealing the victory with the final score. Daniel Monroe was Fairmont State’s top rusher and receiver on the afternoon with 136 on the ground with three scores and 103 more receiving. Shad Alexander also contributed 98 yards rushing for the Falcons. Quarterback Bobby Vega was a tidy 14-of-26 for 245 yards and three touchdowns. Seton Hill had 486 yards of total offense on the day with 432 of that total coming through the air. Andrew Jackson was 32-of-61 with three touchdowns but was picked four times. The Griffins could not get the ground game going picking up just 54 yards on the ground for the day. Fairmont State’s Quincy Casimir, Scott Davidson, Ryan Watts and Lance Fullwood all recorded interceptions for the Falcons. Garrett Davis and Ryland Newman each recorded eight total tackles for the Falcons. FSU raced out to a 20-0 lead early in the second quarter on big plays with Monroe scoring on a 55-yard carry, C.J. Goodwin on a 31-yard TD reception, and Wilmer going 44 yards on a reverse. FSU was still in control after the teams traded touchdowns, but Seton Hill made a push late in the half to make it close. Bobby Vega was forced into an intentional grounding call in the end zone by Tyler Zimmer on a safety and then scored on its ensuing possession to make it 27-16 going into the break. The Griffins continued their momentum by gathering an on-side kick to start the second half and later scoring on a nine-yard touchdown reception by Lance Williams to pull with a field goal at 27-24. FSU would then score the game’s next 20 points on two touchdown carries by Monroe and one from Alford to make it 47-24 with 12:31 to go. SHU would go on a furious rally scoring 23 points in just under four minutes. After a Jackson touchdown pass, Johnathon Feagin scooped up a Monroe fumble and went 63 yards for a score to pull to within eight at 47-39. FSU was forced to punt deep in its own end on its next possession, Chris Kish could not handle the snap and Darius Turner recovered it in the end zone for the score. SHU executed the two-point conversion to knot the score at 47-47 with still 8:36 to go. After an FSU punt, Jackson was picked off by Davidson to set the Falcons up at their own 48 yard line with 4:06. Wilmer picked up a critical first down on third-and-nine with a 17-yard catch, and then would later give FSU the decisive score two plays later with just 1:20 left in the game. Jackson was picked off for the fourth time of the day to secure the Fairmont State win. Score

Fairmont State Fighting Falcons
Daniel Strosnider: Mr. Reliable (published Sept 27) By Duane Cochran for FightingFalcons.com Reliable is defined as being dependable in achievement, accuracy and honesty. On Fairmont State University’s football team reliable is defined as Daniel Strosnider. In the last three-and-a-half years no Falcon has played in more games than Strosnider, a 5-11, 200-pound senior spur or outside linebacker/defensive back from Morgantown. Since stepping foot on FSU’s campus in the fall of 2009 Strosnider has been a positive force for the Falcons both on and off of the field. He never redshirted as a freshman and has played in all 37 games since he first donned the maroon and white compiling 124 total tackles, including 83 solo stops and 20 tackles for losses. He also has four career sacks and a pair of interceptions. “He preaches and preaches to us that he’s going to sell out every day for us on the field and he does it,” said Falcon senior cornerback Ryland Newman, who has played 36 games with Strosnider. “I love playing with Daniel Strosnider. I’ve been playing with him now for four years and about the best complement I could pay him is you can always count on him. Always. “He’s smart. He’s got some speed. He’s physical and he knows the game extremely well. He’s the complete package both on and off the field. I can’t say enough good things about the guy.” Sixth-year Fairmont State head coach Mike Lopez feels the same way. “The young man is phenomenal,” said Lopez, who recruited Strosnider out of Morgantown High School. “He’s really an outstanding person. From the moment I first recruited him until now he’s been nothing but a joy to be around. “He’s a rarity. He’s got very strong Christian beliefs and a strong Christian background which allows him to be a good leader for us. He’s truly a guy who leads by example. He walks the walk. Our guys will tell you without question he’s a great teammate.” Despite the lofty praise he receives from his teammates and coaching staff Strosnider is a player and person who remains very humble and grounded. He has a clear focus of what he wants to accomplish both on the field for the Falcons and off of it in his everyday life. “I’ve always wanted to be someone my team can rely on,” he said. “That’s so important to me. That’s been a goal for me since I first got here. Now, it’s hard to believe I’m in my senior season, but I’ve really tried to take that philosophy to a whole new level this fall. I not only want to be a leader for
fightingfalcons.com
this football team, but a good leader. I try to make the most of every opportunity I’m afforded in my life. You only get so many in your life time and I truly believe you need to try to make the most of them.” Strosnider is majoring in education at Fairmont State and in the future would love to both teach and coach football. For the past two summers Strosnider has worked as a head counselor for FSU’s Falcon Center Summer Day Camp, which is open to children between the ages of 6-12 and is a camp designed to keep the children active while providing education on the importance of physical activity, nutrition and social skills. He says the experience for him has been very rewarding. “Quite often people will ask me why do I want to do that and I just feel like at those ages kids are like sponges,” said Strosnider. “They’ll soak up about everything you try to teach and tell them. They’re willing to learn. They want to learn and I’ve always felt if I can be a positive role model in a little boy or little girl’s life and have an influence on a decision that they might make down the road in their lives then I’ve done something good. “If I can affect just one child in my classroom in a positive way every year for 20 years then I’ve affected a lot of kids. I’ve made them better people and that’s something that’s very important to me and very close to my heart. Nowadays especially little boys need a positive male role model in their lives. I’m just trying to fill that role for those who need it and help some of these kids out.” Strosnider’s work and interaction with the children at the day camp is extraordi-
nary. He is, without question, a favorite of the campers. “Daniel’s really good with the kids,” said junior counselor Haley Cochran, who worked with Strosnider this past summer at the camp. “They love being around him. He has a real understanding of the kids and is very good at working with them on their level. He has fun with them, comforts them if they need it and makes every day an enjoyable, positive and rewarding experience for them.” Strosnider, along with football teammates Bryan Wilson and Matt Wilmer are the leaders of the Bible study group on campus which is another important aspect of his multifaceted life. “Jamal Womble started it and kind of turned it over to myself, Bryan and Matt and it’s really grown,” said Strosnider. “We meet on Wednesdays and we’re seeing new people join us on a consistent basis. “That’s something that’s always been important to me and, to be honest, I think it’s helping our team out. Some kids on our team who may not have a strong spiritual belief have come and joined our Bible study group and you can see the growth in their relationship with God. “I feel fortunate to have the ability to play football, but it is just a game and regardless of what the score or outcome is every week I’m still going to give praise to God for allowing me to do what I do every day. I’ve been blessed. I’ve had a good career here, a good life and I’m certainly looking forward to the future and the new challenges that are awaiting me.”

Bryan Wilson: A Whirlwind (published Sept 13) By Duane Cochran for FightingFalcons.com Fairmont State’s Bryan Wilson doesn’t have to worry about ever being mistaken for the Beach Boys co-founder of the same name but nowadays he can certainly identify with the band’s first number one hit in the United States “I Get Around.” Wilson, you see, has played a variety of roles for the Falcons since he first arrived on campus in the fall of 2009. His first three seasons, including one in which he was redshirted, Wilson served as a backup to Dewey McDonald at free safety. When Wilson hit the field for the first time in the fall of 2010 he earned a job on special teams for FSU in addition to seeing time as a backup to McDonald. In two years he recorded 26 total tackles, broke up five passes, intercepted one and recovered one fumble. This past spring Fairmont’s coaching staff asked Wilson to move to spur or outside linebacker behind senior Daniel Strosnider. Just as he was settling in there nicely in fall camp, McDonald suffered a broken arm which forced him to take a medical redshirt for the season and prompted the FSU coaches to ask Wilson to split time between both his new and old positions. Then, in the second half of the season opener against Clarion (Pa.) University McDonald’s replacement at free safety, Leatis Jones, suffered a knee injury forcing Wilson into the starting role in his old familiar spot. “It’s been a little bit of a whirlwind for me going from free to spur and back to free again,” said Wilson with a laugh. “The good thing is as a free safety you kind of have to know what the job of every position on the defense is because you’re responsible for a lot of the calls and getting people in the right spots. I was just starting to get a little comfortable with spur in fall camp when Dewey went down and the coaches asked me to take reps at both positions. Losing Dewey was huge for us. You just don’t replace a player of his caliber. “Then Leatis went down which was even worse for us. Losing two guys at that spot is tough. The good thing for me and our team is I at least had a few years of experience playing the free safety spot for us. I’m comfortable there and hopefully the guys on the team are comfortable with me being there.” They are. In fact McDonald, who was a two-time, first-team All-West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection for the Falcons at free safety, says the position is in good hands with Wilson.

“Wilson is a guy we all know we can count on,” said McDonald. “You never have to worry about him as a player. As my backup he pushed me to levels as a player that he doesn’t even know he pushed me to. He definitely made me work hard and perform at a high level because that’s how he operates every day. He prides himself on being a real student of the game. He’s always prepared and he’s always going to give you everything he’s got when he’s on the field.” FSU defensive coordinator Shahram Shafii agrees. “Bryan Wilson is a one-of-a-kind player,” said Shafii. “He’s been a role model for our team both on and off of the field ever since he got here. He comes into the film room every day with a notebook which is about the size of an encyclopedia and is full of notes. When we’re watching film and he makes a mistake and I correct him he’s writing it down so he can correct it the next time we’re on the field for practice. He comes in every day with different goals of what he wants to accomplish on that given day. “He’s just a very driven kid. It doesn’t matter whether he’s playing one snap or a thousand he brings the same positive, hardworking attitude with him every single day. He’s a great kid and a great player. We’re very fortunate to have him, especially now in the situation that we’re in.” Wilson, who is from Cary, N.C., is the second youngest of six boys in his family. He has one brother, Andrew, who plays minor league baseball in the Atlanta Braves organization and another who is in the military special forces. “I was the brother who got picked on all of the time,” he said jokingly. “I wasn’t the baby so I couldn’t get away with anything. I think growing up with that many boys made me a little tougher. In fact, I know it did and it definitely helped to prepare me for college football.” His father Berk is a minister and his mother Barbara works for an insurance company with former Falcon wide receiver Scott Thistle, who helped get Wilson to Fairmont State. “I had never even heard of Fairmont State until Scott Thistle told me about it,” he said. “I owe him a lot. He trained me from my sophomore year until I was a freshman here and I still train with him until this day when I go back home. He really helped me develop in all areas, especially running with the proper form. I ran about a 4.7 40-yard dash when
I was a sophomore and thanks to Scott I was down to a legitimate 4.5 by the time I was a senior. “Scott made a couple of calls for me. We sent a tape up here and they offered me a scholarship. Having five brothers my parents said I had to pay my own way for school so I jumped at the opportunity and it’s been a good fit for me being here.” Wilson credits his parents for raising him with good, solid values and ethics. He, along with fellow FSU football players Daniel Strosnider and Matt Wilmer and former Falcon basketball player Jamal Womble, are the leaders of a bible study group on campus. “Above all God is first and foremost in my life. Then parents, family and football,” said Wilson. “Spirituality always been a very big part of my life and I’m thankful for that. Believe me I’ve had plenty of opportunities to throw things away and do my own thing, but I think thanks to my parents, God and the way I was raised I’ve been able to make some wise decisions and choices. “I really enjoy doing what I do with Stro, Wilmer and Jamal. I always have them to lean on. When I came up here I knew no one. Jamal was one of the first people I met and he always encouraged me and was there for me to talk to. Believe me that first year I talked to him a lot about a lot of things. He, and my parents, really helped me make the adjustment to being on my own and being here away from home my freshman year.” In addition to football, Wilson is also a standout in the classroom. He is majoring in sports management and is an academic achievement award winner on the football team. He also works part time at the school’s Falcon Center and likes to organize footballwatching get togethers and game nights be it electronic or board games with his teammates. “I’ve always enjoyed doing that and I really try to include the freshmen on our team because I remember what it was like being a freshman and adjusting to college life,” he said. “I’ve really never enjoyed going out. I just try to give people other options or alternatives and let them know there’s other things to do and other ways to have fun. “I love watching games and I like playing games like NCAA Football or simple board games. In fact, (FSU linebacker) Ryan Watts and I have really been getting into board games lately. We have some good battles.” Whatever the game you can expect Bryan Wilson to be on top of it.

Bobby Vega: Ready For The Chance (published Aug. 20) By Duane Cochran for FightingFalcons.com When Bobby Vega wrapped up his junior college football career at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Ill., all he wanted was the opportunity to go to a four-year school and compete for a starting job. Vega, a 6-2, 210 junior quarterback, got his wish when Fairmont State University came calling. The Falcons already had two-year starter Logan Moore in the fold when Vega enrolled at FSU in January, but Fairmont’s coaching staff was adamant about adding quality depth to a crucial position on their roster. Vega was coming off his sophomore and final season at the College of DuPage where he completed 157 of 264 passes (59.4 percent) for 1,987 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was intercepted 10 times. “You go back to our season last year when Logan got hurt against Bowie State here, it changed the whole course of our season,” said FSU head coach Mike Lopez. “I promised the staff that I’d never let that happen again.” Vega wasted little time turning heads in spring drills with his live arm and leadership qualities. Moore and Vega engaged in a friendly, but competitive battle for the top spot in FSU’s offense which culminated in the annual FSU Maroon-White Spring Game.

In that contest Vega connected on 12-of-24 passes for 196 yards and one TD. The stage appeared to be set for a good battle for the starting job between the two in August, but Moore opted to enroll at West Virginia University, leaving the job to Vega. Despite losing Moore, the Falcons still solved their issue with depth at the position adding Tyler Pate from Hurricane, W.Va., and Brandon Ashenfelter from Martinsburg, W.Va. “First and foremost I think I’ve been blessed with the opportunity that I’ve been given here at Fairmont State,” said Vega. “Unfortunately Logan left here and I have nothing but best wishes for him. He was definitely a big part of this program and this offense. I believe we both could have been used in the right way here to help this team. “I came here just wanting to compete for a job. I didn’t ask for anything but a chance and I got that chance and now it’s up to me to make the most of it. I’m in the so-called driver’s seat to run this offense and it’s up to me to get the job done.” The good news for Vega, who starred in high school in Florida at Miami’s Felix Varela Senior High, is that he’ll be surrounded this fall by a plethora of returning starters including WVIAC Offensive Freshman of the Year running back Daniel Monroe, receivers Chris
St. Hilaire, Mark Sampson and Matt Wilmer, tight end Sean Marion and first-team allleague tackle Chris Barfield to name a few. “I feel like we’re going to be solid on offense,” said Vega. “We have some depth now on the offensive line. The coaches recruited very well in that area. I also think we have great wide receivers in St. Hilaire, Wilmer, Sampson and some young guys who are talented. Then we have Monroe, who before he got hurt last year was having a great season. “We have talent. It just has to all come together. Right now we really need to work on building team chemistry. That’s a big part of success.” Vega returned to Fairmont from Miami in mid-summer and began preparing himself to run the offense. “As soon as I got back I called some of the guys who were here to get together and throw some to keep my arm loose and in shape,” he said. “I also wanted to work on timing with them. I also watched film a lot. I didn’t have a lot on myself. I watched the spring game quite a few times and I’ve tried to correct my mistakes. I’m a player who believes you can always learn and you can always improve. I feel like I’ve put my work in. Now let’s see if it pays off.” Lopez is one individual who believes it will. “Bobby’s a great kid who has been very mature from day one here,” said Lopez. “Bobby is our guy. I’m comfortable saying that. He has a great work ethic and very good leadership skills. He’s cool and calm and he possesses a big arm and good feet. I think he’s a good fit for our offense and I’ll say this – I sleep very well at night knowing he’s going to be the guy running our offense.”

Scott Davidson: Finding The Phantom (published Aug. 23) By Duane Cochran for FightingFalcons.com Like an onion, there’s a lot of layers to Fairmont State University senior football player Scott Davidson. There’s Scott Davidson the double major in communications and graphic technology who is a member of the Dean’s List. There’s Scott Davidson the two-month intern at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Fairmont who has been No. 1 in home city sales in each of the two months he’s been there. There’s Scott Davidson the student of the game, master technician and a leader of the FSU secondary from his cornerback position. And there’s Scott Davidson the “Phantom,” a self-proclaimed moniker he gave himself in high school to best describe his on-field persona. “The guy is sneaky good,” said FSU receiver Chris St. Hilaire. “He’s very good at disguising what he’s going to do. You may think he’s going to do one thing and he’ll do the complete opposite. He’s also great at reading receivers and routes. He’ll recognize if a receiver is going to break down and cut off the route or if he’s going to make a move and go deep. “He’s a very intelligent player who has good feet and his technique is the best. If I’m running an out he’s right on my hip. If I run a comeback he’s right behind me. If I go deep he’s still right on my hip. The guy is always where he’s supposed to be. I think he’s one of the best corners in our league.” Since he first arrived on Fairmont State’s campus three years ago Davidson, who did not redshirt out of Columbus, Ohio’s Eastmoor Academy, has taken a very mature and business-like approach to the way he does pretty much everything in his life. “My dad wasn’t in my life growing up,” he said. “My mother, Deborah, raised my sister Donna and I. She’s the strongest person I know. She can handle pretty much anything. I think I’ve seen her cry maybe once in my life. I draw a lot of my strength as a person from her. I respect her so much and know I can always turn to her if I need anything. “I think because of my situation I had to mature a lot faster than maybe most males do. The closest thing I had to a father figure growing up was one of my high school coaches, James Miranda, who is a great guy that I still talk to from time to time. He had a real positive influence on me.” Once he was in Fairmont’s camp in the fall of 2009, it didn’t take the Falcon coaches long to recognize Davidson’s potential.
fightingfalcons.com
“The one thing I know for certain about Scotty Davidson is from the first day he arrived here at Fairmont he’s always separated himself both on and off the field as a leader and as a mature adult,” said FSU defensive coordinator Shahram Shafii. “He’s always aspired to be great. Athletically there’s times he may not have the same skill set as people who line up beside him or across from him, but technique-wise he’s phenomenal. He’s one of the hardest workers we have. “You tell me he had success working at Enterprise, well, it wouldn’t surprise me at the end of the day if he owned Enterprise,” Shafii continued. “That’s the type of kid he is. I love him. He’s great at teaching and working with our young guys and having him on the field makes me, as a coach, a lot more comfortable.” Davidson heads into his senior season with 60 total tackles, 43 of which are solo stops. He also has three career interceptions and eight pass breakups. “I can hardly believe it’s my senior season already,” said Davidson. “I’m looking for good things from both myself and our team this year.
“I’ve had a great three years here and am looking forward to a fourth. I’m going to miss a lot of things about here – my teammates and the coaching staff. I’ve learned so much. The coaches have been great. They make you laugh and they make you cry, but at the end of the day they teach you something about football and life and I’ve tried to learn and apply as much of what I’ve been taught as possible.” And as for his “Phantom” persona? “In life you have to have a couple of different personas,” said Davidson with a laugh. “You can’t just be you all of the time. Off the field I’m definitely Scott Davidson. I’m a fun guy who is easy to get along with. On the field I’m more business-like. When you play this game you’ve got to have a certain confidence or swagger. Hence the phantom. “At first in high school the guys used to call me Master Lock. That was nice but I couldn’t get anywhere with that. I tried to play it in my head and it just went no where. We had this thing in high school called super hero day and I told everyone I was going to come as the Phantom. They were like ‘What, no way.’ I dressed up in all black tights with black shoes, a cape and a mask and called myself the Phantom. From that point on it stuck and I ran with it. I tried to do different things on the field which would make me seem like a phantom. I remember quarterbacks telling me a lot that it seemed like I came out of no where. I liked that.” Davidson will graduate in May with two degrees from FSU. In the future he says he wouldn’t mind parlaying his internship at Enterprise into a full-time position. “Hopefully after I graduate and pass my skills and grills test with Enterprise they’ll hire me as a full-time management assistant,” said Davidson. “After that I can pretty much go wherever there’s an opening. “I kind of have a knack for public relations, marketing, sales and things like that. In sales you have to have a strategy. It’s just like football. Every game isn’t the same and every customer isn’t the same. I like it there (at Enterprise) because it’s not a scam. Everything is real, down to earth and legit. You explain everything up front and you don’t have to worry about people coming back and saying I didn’t know this or that. “I’m ready for life and ready to get things started. I’ve pretty much had my life planned out since I was about 15. I know where I want to be and what steps I have to take to get there.”
