McCULLOCH STADIUM

McCulloch Stadium provides the home field for the Willamette University Bearcats. Ogdahl Field at McCulloch Stadium is an artificial turf facility that is one of the top NCAA Division III facilities in the Pacific Northwest. It combines the closeness and atmosphere of an old-time stadium with such modern elements as FieldTurf for the playing surface, spacious locker rooms and a scoreboard with a jumbo video screen. The stadium seats approximately 2,400 fans. All seating is covered, providing fans with a comfortable setting even in inclement weather. The press box, located above the seating, was designed with plenty of room for coaches, media representatives and the statistical crew. It also includes a booth for the public address announcer and official timer, as well as a room for WU’s president to host supporters and dignitaries. Since 1998, Willamette has earned a 45-23 (.662) record at McCulloch Stadium. The Bearcats are 14-2 at home over the past three seasons. With lights surrounding the field, the Bearcats have been able to add another element to Willamette football with night games since 2004. The Bearcats also play afternoon games to take advantage of the sunny skies during most of the season. Another advantage is that the stadium includes an athletic training room, allowing Willamette athletes to receive treatments on-site. Football players have convenient access to athletic trainers at practices and home games throughout the season. Likewise, Bearcat football coaches have office space at the stadium in addition to offices at the Sparks Center on campus. This is helpful for watching game films and for holding team and position meetings. Last season, Willamette achieved a 4-0 record at McCulloch Stadium and averaged 47.8 points per home game. Willamette has attained a 39-22 (.639) at home since Mark Speckman became head coach, including an impressive 14-2 over the past three years. McCulloch Stadium also features the Charles Bowles Track, an all-weather facility that is the home for Willamette’s highly-

Bearcat Locker Room Willamette has a spacious locker room at McCulloch Stadium that is used during all practices and home games. It features individual lockers with plenty of space for storing equipment. From the start of preseason until the end of the year, the Willamette locker room is a key part of Bearcat Football. regarded men’s and women’s track and field teams. The track also provides a great place for the finish line at home cross country meets. Last season, Willamette hosted the NCAA Division III West Regional in men’s and women’s cross country. The entire complex, which also includes Roy S. “Spec” Keene Stadium for baseball, is adjacent to Bush’s Pasture Park. The park

hosts cross country meets on its wide paths and also is known for its art exhibits, rose garden, trees and expanses of open land. McCulloch Stadium is located just two blocks from the Willamette campus. It is a short distance for students to walk from dorm rooms to the stadium to attend home games. WU will play seven teams at home this year, including archrival Linfield.

2011 SEASON OUTLOOK

Playing a Tough Schedule

Skill on Offense

The Willamette Bearcats are preparing for the start of the 2011 season after achieving a 26-6 combined record over the past three years. Willamette won the NWC Championship and qualified for the NCAA Division III Playoffs in 2008, while earning an 11-1 record. The Bearcats were 8-2 in 2009, and went 7-3 in 2010 with one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Willamette has five returning starters on offense and six returning starters on defense. The experience will be very important for the Bearcats, who once again face a challenging, top-rate schedule. This time, however, the Bearcats will play seven of 10 regular season games at home. Last year, WU played six of 10 games on the road. The schedule features games against three opponents ranked in the D3football.com Top 25 Preseason Poll: Linfield (#9), Hardin-Simmons (#16) and UW-Stevens Point (#23). WU received points in the D3football.com Preseason Poll, but was not in the Top 25. WU will play another team with points in the poll but outside the Top 25, Pacific Lutheran, in the final game of the regular season on Nov. 12. The schedule also includes games against scholarship teams from Portland State of NCAA Division I (FCS) and Southern Oregon of the NAIA. WU will take on all six Northwest Conference foes: Linfield and Pacific Lutheran, plus Pacific, Puget Sound, Whitworth and Lewis & Clark.

Willamette averaged 416.6 total yards and 37.1 points per game last season. The Bearcats look for continued offensive success in 2011. Leading the offense will be Brian Widing (Jr., QB), who completed 63.0% of his passes last year (85 of 135). He threw for 1,455 yards and 14 touchdowns with just six interceptions. He led the NWC in passing efficiency with a rating of 178.8 points. In two seasons, Widing has thrown for 2,342 yards and 23 touchdowns. He has connected on 62.0% of his passes. Jake Knecht (Jr., WR) is WU’s top returning receiver. In 2010, he caught 13 passes for 256 yards, as he averaged 19.7 yards per reception. He is capable of getting open on short routes and has the speed to be a deep threat, too. Knecht also is a return specialist. Last year, he averaged 20.7 yards on 20 kickoff returns. Gone at receiver is Scott Schoettgen, who was a senior last fall. He led the Bearcats with 49 catches for 960 yards and 13 touchdowns. He concluded his career with 129 catches for 2,445 yards and a school record 36 touchdowns. Top returning rushers for the Bearcats are Matt Williams (Jr., FL) and Jamiere Abney (Sr., TB). Williams gained 244 yards on 39 carries last year for a 6.3 average, while Abney rushed for 205 yards and three touchdowns on 46 carries. Willamette led the NWC in rushing offense in 2010 with 236.3 yards per game and 32 TDs on the ground. The Bearcats also ranked first in passing efficiency rating (164.2 points). WU must find a way to replace the yardage gained by Terrell Malley, who rushed for 628 yards as a sophomore last season. A two-sport athlete the past two years, Malley will play only basketball in 2011-12. Returning players at the skill positions who can make an impact this season include Jake Turner (Jr., FL) and Mason Brown (So., TB), plus a trio of quarterbacks. Danny Mitchell (Jr.) and Jake Jones (Jr.) have shown an ability to lead the offense and move the ball. Josh Dean (So.) will begin the year as a wide receiver, but also can help at quarterback. Also returning are fullbacks Mike Hernandez (So.), Scott Perlin (Sr.) and Cole Altuzarra (So.). All three are skilled as runners and blockers. Tight ends who are returning for Willamette are Doug Gilmore (Jr.), Benny Weischedel (Jr.) and Marshall Curry (Jr.). Gilmore has the most expereince on the field and will be the likely starter. Each of the tight ends has the ability to block on running plays, yet be a receiving threat on passing downs.

Jake Knecht is WU’s top returning receiver.

Jamiere Abney can play fullback or tailback. Willamette has a wealth of freshman talent at the running back positions who will battle for playing time this year. Leading the freshmen are Dylan Jones, Nolan Plummer and Taylor Wyman at tailback, along with Conor Dunn and Derek Traeger at flanker. Two of Willamette’s five returning starters on offense are linemen. Kenny Miller (Sr., C) started every game last season and was selected as a First Team All-NWC player. Zane Wise (Jr., OG) was a starter toward the end of 2010 and will be a key blocker this season. Both helped WU gain 197 first downs a year ago, including 124 first downs on running plays. Other returning offensive linemen who will see significant playing time are Taylor Reeder (Jr.) and Ben Kittelson (Sr.) at tackle, plus Jonnee Couwenhoven (Sr.) at guard and Anthony Ertola (Sr.) at center. Transfer tackle Anthony Scalercio (Jr.), from Santa Rosa JC, also will contribute. Additional help in the line will be supplied by returning players Xavier Bailey (So., OT) and Cuyler Hudson (So., OG), along with freshman Keenan Faatea (OG/C).


2011 SEASON OUTLOOK

Toughness on Defense The Willamette defense made numerous key plays in 2010, as the Bearcats finished the year with a +11 turnover margin while limiting their opponents to just 94.7 rushing yards per game. WU finished second in the NWC in scoring defense and total defense. The Bearcats gave up just 20.7 points and 329.8 yards per contest. Topping the list of Willamette’s six returning starters on defense is senior outside linebacker Harmon Bruno. Last season, Bruno achieved 51 tackles to rank third on the team. He made 25 solo stops to go with 26 assists. Bruno helped WU hold opponents to just 3.0 yards per rush. Bruno is one of two returning First Team AllNWC selections on defense. Also returning with First Team All-NWC honors is senior defensive tackle Juan Alvarado. In 2010, Alvarado earned 17 total tackles, while making it difficult to run up the middle. He had 4.5 tackles for losses. Joining Alvarado as experienced starters in the defensive line are Ryan Bourke (Sr., DE) and Ron Carter (Sr., DT). Bourke recorded 21 tackles last year to earn Second Team All-NWC honors. Carter was First Team All-NWC in 2009. Other top defensive linemen include ends Scott Miller (Jr.), Ben Lyons (Jr.) and Matt Millar (Jr.), along with tackles Kyle Bettencourt (Jr.) and Mark Meek (Sr.). Willamette’s leading tackler last season was inside linebacker Ralph Pineda, who completed his senior year with 84 tackles and was named

Although Pineda finished his eligiblity a year ago, the Bearcats still have plenty of quality at inside linebacker. Matt Parr (Jr.) made 37 tackles and Wes Wenzel (Jr.) played in eight games last fall. Jaden Roselli (So.) and transfer Jacob Meza (So., Glendale CC) will challenge for significant playing time. Bruno leads the way at outside linebacker. Also contributing on a regular basis will be Reed Warner (Jr.), who ranked fifth on the team with 41 tackles last season. Cullen Carroll (Jr.), who chipped in 24 tackles in 2010, is a quality tackler who brings depth to the position. Willamette’s defensive secondary is athletic, hard-hitting and skilled. Standouts at conerback are Alex Holland (Sr.) and Tyson Giza (Jr.). Top players at safety are Dominic David (Jr.), Michael Del Real (Jr.) and Cody Pastorino (Jr.). In 2010, Pastorino accumulated 33 tackles to go with three interceptions. David totaled 29 tackles and led WU with six pass break-ups. Del Real produced 24 tackles. Giza made 14 tackles and Holland earned 12 tackles. Players who bring solid depth at defensive back include Tait Stepens (So., S), Sungyoung Lee (Fr., CB) and Daniel Wakam (Fr., CB). WU will miss Arlin Taylor, a senior in 2010, who ranked fourth on the team with 43 tackles and a team-high four interceptions. In addition, Blaze Rogers, a key player at cornerback each of the past three season, will miss 2011 with a broken leg.

Solid on Special Teams The Bearcats have a history of strong special teams play. Willamette hopes to continue that success in 2011. WU returns Mitch Rowan (Sr., PK/P) at punter, kickoff specialist and long-range field goal kicker. Rowan averaged 35.6 yards per punt in 2010, with 13 of 34 kicks inside the 20-yard line. He also hit 6 of 9 extra points and 2 of 6 field goals. Rowan holds Willamette’s career records for extra points made (114) and attempted (126). He has placed 31 punts inside the 20-yard line in his career. Kyle Derby (So., PK) is back as the Bearcats’ primary short-range place-kicker. He was 33 of 36 on PATs and made 3 of 5 field goals last year. Willamette’s overall experience on special teams is enhanced by the return of long snapper Doug Gilmore (Jr., TE), holder Danny Mitchell (Jr., QB) and return threat Jake Knecht (Jr., WR). Knecht brought back 20 kickoffs for 414 yards last season. He also returned eight punts for the Bearcats. Tyson Giza (So., CB) joins Knecht as a return specialist this season, providing WU with speed and athleticism. The Bearcats are known for their success at blocking kicks. In 2008, the Bearcats blocked six kicks for the team’s recent high. Last season, WU almost matched that number by blocking five kicks. Cody Pastorino (Jr., S) led the Bearcats with three blocks. One of Pastorino’s blocks resulted in a touchdown recovery by Brent Turner (now an assistant coach) in Willamette’s win over Pacific.

Speckman is regarded as an authority on the “The Fly” offense. “The Fly” brings the flanker in motion across the formation before the snap to take a handoff, block on a running play or become a receiver. The ball can go in a number of directions on any given snap. Willamette has used it’s fast-paced offense to set many records under Speckman’s guidance. Prior to joining the Willamette coaching staff, Speckman was a head coach at the high school level for 14 seasons in California. His high school teams earned a combined record of 113-48-3 (.698). Speckman coached Merced High School’s football team to national prominence during his eight-year tenure (1986-93).

In addition to coaching, Speckman also taught at Merced HS. He grew up in Belmont, Calif., just south of the San Francisco area. He was the secondoldest of four children.

After graduating from high school, he went to Menlo College in Atherton, Calif. He played football for two seasons at Menlo, which was a junior college at the time. He then transferred to Azusa Pacific University (Calif.), to complete his degree. He was named NAIA Honorable Mention All-America as a linebacker. Speckman is a popular guest speaker with educational and business organizations. He has delivered numerous speeches to school boards, teachers and business groups regarding personal motivation and achieving one’s potential. He was inducted into the San Mateo County (Calif.) Sports Hall of Fame in 2007 and into the Menlo College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009. He has a great sense of humor that keeps his friends, fellow coaches and even his players laughing. He stays up-to-date on all aspects of Bearcat football, but gives his assistant coaches freedom to handle their position assignments. Speckman and his wife, Sue, live in Salem and are the parents of three adult children: Lisa, Tim and Julie. Tim works as an assistant coach on the Willamette football staff.

1941 Willamette Pearl Harbor Football Team As long as Americans remember Pearl Harbor, Willamette’s 1941 football team will be in the minds of Salem residents. For many people, Head Coach Roy S. ‘Spec’ Keene’s Bearcat team and Pearl Harbor go hand-in-hand. On the gridiron that year, the Bearcats forged an impressive 8-2 record, including six shutouts. The team won the Northwest Conference title, outscoring their five NWC opponents, 218-7. The team included future WU Athletic Hall of Fame selections in Ted Ogdahl and Marvin Goodman, Assistant Coach Dick Weisgerber and Keene. Willamette had 11 of 23 players on the NWC First Team All-Star unit with ends Bill Reder and Marshall Barbour, tackles Martin Barstad, Neil Morley and George Constable, guards Anthony Jo Fraiola and Gordon Moore, as well as backs Al Walden, Buddy Reynolds, Gene Stewart and Ogdahl.

After losing only to the University of Idaho on the mainland, the Bearcats thought they’d be in for a treat with a trip to Hawaii. The football teams from WU and San Jose State were to play a series of games with the University of Hawaii called the Shrine Bowl. In the first game of the Shrine Bowl on Dec. 6, 1941, Willamette lost a 20-6 contest against the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. The next morning, the WU contingent was preparing for a tour of the island when Japanese forces bombed Pearl Harbor, leading to the U.S. entering World War II. After the initial Japanese attack, Keene volunteered his players and WU’s male fans for 10 days of guard duty at Punahou School, while the women were sent to a Navy hospital as nurses’ aides. Most of the Willamette group left Hawaii two weeks after the initial bombing. The contingent representing Willamtte arrived on the

ocean liner President Coolidge in San Francisco bay on Christmas Day. The 1941 football team was inducted into the Willamette Athletic Hall of Fame on Sept.13, 1997. Also inducted that year were Wayne and Shirley (McKay) Hadley, longtime supporters of WU Athletics. who were with the football squad in Hawaii. Since the 50th reunion of Willamette’s ‘Pearl Harbor’ football contingent in 1991, there have been numerous feature stories written in newspapers up and down the West Coast. The most prominent stories appeared in The Oregonian (Portland), Statesman Journal (Salem) and Honolulu Advertiser. In November, 2000 the story of the WU football team in Hawaii was featured on a weekly ESPN show, “NFL Films Presents.” The feature, “The Moment of Impact,” aired during the week of Nov. 24-28.

Willamette is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and competes in Division III, which has 447 members and is the largest NCAA division. Division III is about following your passions and discovering your potential. The college experience is a time of learning and growth. For student-athletes in Division III, this happens in the classroom, through athletics and, ultimately, by earning an academic degree. The Division III experience provides student-athletes with the opportunity to participate in a competitive athletic environment. Studen-athletes can push themselves to excellence. At WU, studentathletes are encouraged to pursue their full passions and find their potential through a comprehensive educational experience. Athletes in Division III do not receive financial aid related to athletic ability. Willamette and other NCAA Division III members encourage students to participate by maximizing the number and variety of athletic opportunities. An emphasis is placed on conference and regional play. Willamette often sends its teams to California, Idaho, Washington and Texas for in-region games.

Willamette and the other eight members of the Northwest Conference shifted their affiliation to the NCAA in 1998. In almost every sport, the winner of the NWC earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III national championship bracket. The WU football team has competed in the NCAA Playoffs three times: 1999, 2004 and 2008. In 2008, Willamette was the #1 seed in the West Region and defeated Occidental in the first round of the playoffs before falling to eventual national runnerup University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. WU reached the playoffs in the NAIA in 1968, 1996 and 1997. NCAA Division III members establish an environment with cultural diversity and gender equity among student-athletes and staff. In Division III, faculty and staff focus on the well-being of student-athletes.

Chuck Pinkerton was a starter at quarterback in 1997. He is now WU’s quarterback coach.

In 2008, Deon Horne ran with the ball 137 times for 988 yards and 12 touchdowns.

THE NORTHWEST CONFERENCE

The nine private colleges and universities in Oregon and Washington that form the Northwest Conference are building a strong reputation for the NWC as one of the top NCAA Division III leagues in the nation. The NWC is nationally competitive in a very wide spectrum of sports. Formed in 1926, the NWC has changed membership and national affiliation during its 82-year existence. It is one of the oldest conferences in the western United States. The NWC’s current members in Oregon are Willamette, George Fox, Linfield, Lewis and Clark, and Pacific. Members located in Washington are Pacific Lutheran, Puget Sound, Whitman and Whitworth. Charter members included Willamette, the College of Idaho, Linfield, Pacific and Puget Sound. Albany College was added in 1931, remained for seven years, and then returned in 1949 as Lewis & Clark College.

to create the Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges (NCIC). The name was shortened to the original Northwest Conference in 1998. Also in 1998, all nine NWC members shifted affiliation from the NAIA to the NCAA. Members knew the move would foster equity, sportsmanship and a genuine concern for all student-athletes. Pacific Lutheran joined in 1965 and was followed by Whitworth (1970). The College of Idaho withdrew from the conference in 1978. Whitworth dropped out in 1984 and returned in 1988. Menlo joined in 2006 as a member in football only and withdrew after 2009. The NWC offers championships in 18 sports (nine men’s and nine women’s). The NWC originally sponsored athletic competition for men’s sports only, but later joined forces with the Women’s Conference of Independent Colleges (WCIC) in 1984

2010 SEASON REVIEW

Quarterback Brian Widing completed 63.0% of his passes for 1,455 yards and 14 touchdowns. The Willamette University football team played one of the nation’s most challenging schedules in 2010, as the Bearcats took on five nationally-ranked teams during their 10-game regular season. The schedule was even more challenging with six road games and just four games at McCulloch Stadium. Willamette took on top NCAA Division III teams from Wisconsin-Stevens Point (#16 at the time), Hardin-Simmons (#14), Linfield (#16) and Pacific Lutheran (#19) — all on the road. WU’s only home game against a nationally ranked opponent was against Southern Oregon (#24) from the NAIA. Even with a difficult schedule, the Bearcats finished with a 7-3 record, 4-2 in the Northwest Conference (3rd place). The Bearcats defeated UW-Stevens Point, 33-14, in the season opener for a win over a nationally ranked team. Later, WU earned a 42-24 win over Southern Oregon The WU offense rolled up 4,166 total yards (416.6 per game) and scored 371 points (37.1 avg.). Out of 236 NCAA Division III teams, WU ranked 22nd in scoring and 35th in total offense. Opponents struggled to stop both the rushing game and the passing attack. When UW-Stevens Point worked to limit the passing game, Willamette rushed for 277 yards in the season opener. The following weekend, when Hardin-Simmons committed to stopping the rushing attack, WU passed for 289 yards. The Bearcats ranked 19th in the nation in rushing offense, with 236.3 rushing yards per

PAGE 40

game. Willamette gained over 300 rushing yards against four different teams. WU also featured an accurate passing attack that was ninth in the nation in passing efficiency with a 164.2 rating. Leading Willamette’s running game was Terrell Malley (So., TB), who carried the ball 77 times for 628 yards and seven touchdowns, even though he missed the final two games due to injury. Malley averaged 8.2 yards per carry for the highest average in the NWC. Four other Bearcats each ran for 200 or more yards. They were Chad Pollard (Jr., FL) with 265 yards, Matt Williams (So., FL) with 208, Jamiere Abney (Sr., TB) with 208 and Jose Green (Sr., TB) with 200. As a team, WU averaged a solid 5.1 rushing yards per carry. The passing game also featured standout performances. Quarterback Brian Widing (So.) completed 85 of 135 passes (63.0%) for 1,455 yards and 14 touchdowns. His passing efficiency rating of 178.8 led the NWC. As a team, WU threw 16 touchdown passes during the season. Senior wide receiver Scott Schoettgen was the top passing target. He caught a team-high 49 passes for 960 yards (19.6 avg.) and scored 13 touchdowns. He concluded his four-year career with 129 catches for 2,445 yards and a school record 36 touchdowns. He averaged 19.0 yards per reception during his career. Schoettgen tied WU’s record for touchdown catches in a game by grabbing four scoring strikes on Nov. 7, 2009 versus Puget Sound and on Nov. 6, 2010 against Lewis & Clark.

Knecht also contributed on special teams by returning 20 kickoffs for 414 yards (20.7 avg.) and by returning eight punts. Other top kickoff returners were Malley (23.8 avg.) on nine returns and Green (23.5 avg.) on six returns. Overall, WU gained an average of 21.2 yards per kickoff return. Punting duties went to junior Mitch Rowan, who averaged 35.6 yards per punt and placed 13 kicks inside the 20-yard line. None of his kicks were blocked. Kyle Derby (Fr., PK) handled most of the place-kicking. He hit 33 of 36 extra points and 3 of 5 field goals. Rowan was the team’s kickoff specialist and averaged 59.0 yards per kick. Willamette’s defense, led by Ralph Pineda (Sr., ILB) and Walter Robinson II (Sr., DE), allowed just 94.7 yards per game on the ground to rank 23rd in the nation. WU also ranked 39th with 25 quarterback sacks (2.5 per game). Pineda led all Bearcats with 84 total tackles on 34 solos and 50 assists. In two seasons after transferring from San Jose State, he earned 165 tackles. He was named Third Team All-America and First Team All-West Region in 2009. He was Second Team All-West Region in 2010. Robinson contributed 59 total tackles on 23 solo tackles and 36 assists. He was the team leader in tackles for losses with 13.0 (74 yards lost) and ranked first in quarterback sacks with 5.0 (34 yards lost). Harmon Bruno (Jr., OLB) was third for WU in tackles with 51. He registered 4.5 tackles for losses and 1.5 sacks. Arlin Taylor (Sr., S) ranked fourth with 43 tackles, while intercepting four passes. Reed Warner (So., OLB) followed in fifth with 41 tackles. He had 5.5 tackles for losses, 3.0 sacks and a team-high three fumble recoveries. Taylor and Warner each scored a touchdown on defense. Taylor returned a fumble 19 yards for a touchdown against Southern Oregon and Warner reached the end zone with a 12-yard interception return versus Menlo. WU achieved a +11 advantage in turnovers to rank 17th in the nation (+1.1 per game). The Bearcats recovered 11 fumbles and intercepted 15 passes. Taylor’s four interceptions led the team. Pineda and Cody Pastorino (So., S) each grabbed three interceptions. Head Coach Mark Speckman completed his 13th season with a career record of 78-53 (.595). Including three years as offensive coordinator before he was named head coach, Speckman has helped WU earn a 106-58-1 (.645) record.
