WELCOME LETTER, C/L. “BUTCH” OTTER

Dear Friends, As someone who played for Coach Lyle Smith at Boise Junior College, and as Idaho’s Governor, I am proud to welcome you to Boise and this beautiful campus for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Our state and city, as well as Boise State University, are indeed honored to host this exciting and prestigious matchup between the Air Force Academy of the Mountain West Conference and Western Michigan University of the Mid-American Conference. Idaho is America’s largest potato-producing state – a distinction of which we’re justifiably proud. So naturally we are excited that this bowl game reflects the importance of our famous Idaho potatoes. It recognizes Idaho’s role in bringing the rest of the world heart-healthy, nourishing vegetables that can be used to produce more nutritious food and are grown more quickly, on less land, using less water, in harsher climates than any other major crop. While in Boise, I invite you to explore all that this part of Idaho has to offer. Ski at one of the world-class resorts just an easy and beautiful drive from Boise, shop and eat in vibrant downtown Boise or take a walk along the lovely river that winds through our city. Boise has a thriving arts scene and is home to museums, the opera, ballet and theater. Most of all, have fun! We look forward to showing you the hospitality for which the state of Idaho and our people are famous. On behalf of the people of Idaho, good luck to both teams. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! As Always – Idaho, “Esto Perpetua”

C.L. “Butch” Otter Governor of Idaho

ome discover what Conde Nast Traveler is calling “the West’s best-kept secret” in Boise, Idaho. Whether you are seeking outdoor recreation, cultural events or unique dining, visitors to the City of Trees can find award-winning offerings in Boise. Boise, Idaho’s Capital City, is unlike most cities, as it offers a rare blend of urban and outdoors; active and relaxing; family-friendly and unforgettable. It boasts interesting and unique sites and attractions, unlimited recreation and diverse cultural offerings. At the foot of the scenic Boise Front, Boise boasts several Fortune 500 companies with national and international headquarters or divisions, sprawling hightech campuses and a major university with a distinctive blue football field. This city, with a river running through it, enjoys its easily accessible outdoors as much as it eclectic urban offerings. Boise has plenty to offer anyone seeking cultural opportunities or experiences. The city is proud of its philharmonic orchestra, contemporary and classic theater companies, modern and ballet dance companies and choral and opera companies. Here you can enjoy

outdoor performances along the Boise River or find kids in the park creating art. A number of art galleries promote an impressive array of artwork by locally and nationally acclaimed artists and public art is easily visible throughout the city. The Boise City Arts Commission has a map-brochure available listing the city’s many cultural locations and public art sites which include sculpture, photography, tile work, tapestries, murals, stained glass and paintings. The dining options in Boise are sure to suit any taste. Choices are limitless; from elegant dining rooms to casual brew pubs; ethnic eateries to comfy coffee bars; trendy bistros to riverfront patios. Experience the flavors of the Northwest with wild game and fish, or enjoy a great steak and potato in a leisure setting. Ethnic restaurants are plentiful and range from Mediterranean to Thai. And, with the Basque culture so prominent in Boise, don’t miss the opportunity to try delicious Basque food and wine. In March, 2007 the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) designated Idaho’s Snake River Valley as an American Viticultural Area (AVA), an important distinction that brands the southern portion

of the state as America’s next great wine region. The Snake River Valley, with its combination of microclimates, soil and other growing conditions, is now officially recognized as a unique grape growing region capable of producing excellent wines. There are more than 13 wineries within a short drive of Boise. These wineries produce award-winning Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, Johannisberg Rieslings and Pinot Noirs. One vineyard, Koenig Distillery and Winery, also produces award-winning classic European eau-de-vie fruit brandies using the area’s finest peaches, apricots, plums, pears and cherry varieties. The only Basque Museum and Cultural Center in North America, and one of only two in the world, is located in Boise. The Basque Museum and Cultural Center was established in 1985 as a small museum in the historic Cyrus Jacobs-Uberuaga boarding house at 607 Grove St. in Boise, Idaho. This charming old boarding house served as “home away from home” to hundreds of Basque sheepherders who found themselves living and working in the new world. As the Museum’s interpretation of the history of the Basques, their origins, and their new life in America developed, artifact donations and museum displays increased. So did the need for more space. The Museum’s main facility moved next door with exhibits, classrooms, a library, collections areas and a gift shop. The boarding house stands as a living history exhibit. The Basque Museum and Cultural Center has become one of Idaho’s finest cultural institutions, interpreting the unique Basque Heritage for the public through a variety of educational programs, lectures and presentations, exhibits and classes in the Basque language, dance and music. The country’s first Basque preschool, an Ikastola, has also been established. Museum collections include oral history archives, a library, a records/tapes collection, manuscript materials, various artifacts and photos. It is the home of significant resources for anyone interested in Basque history and culture. An international festival, called “JAIALDI”, has been held in Boise in 1987, 1990, 1995, 2005, and 2010! This wonderful event typically features a downtown street fair, orchestral, dancing and choir performances, sport and strength competitions and traditional Basque foods. Performers and athletes from the Basque Country, across the United States and from around the world come to Boise to take part in Jaialdi. Just east of downtown is the Old Idaho Territorial Penitentiary, one of four territorial prisons still in existence in the U.S. The Old Pen housed many Wild West desperadoes in its time. Built in 1870, it closed in 1973 following prisoner riots over living conditions. The imposing sandstone compound includes a self-guided walking tour, transportation museum and the nation’s largest collections of historic arms and military memorabilia. The Old Pen is flanked by the Idaho Botanical Garden which is lit for the holidays with over 250,000 sparkling lights. Be dazzled by the spectacular display of color and light in the Garden - artistically arranged and beautifully designed. Enjoy hot refreshments, cookies and toasty bonfires while you revel in the holiday atmosphere. In a place with such easy access to the outdoors, recreation pursuits exist in perfect sync with city life. Step outside downtown in a matter of minutes to ski, hike, bike and more. Walk or bike the 25-mile long riverside Greenbelt path, explore the Ridge to Rivers trailhead into the scenic foothills or visit one of the expansive interconnected parks lining the city. Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area, a nearby ski area minutes from downtown offers some of the best night skiing in the country.

GAME MATCHUP The 2014 game will feature two teams with seven-game turnarounds. The Air Force Falcons finished their 2014 campaign 9-3, improving from 2-10 in 2013. Western Michigan University had the best single-season turnaround in school and Mid-Atlantic Conference history. After claiming one win in 2013 (1-11) the Broncos will head to postseason play at 8-4. Western Michigan is making its sixth bowl appearance in program history. The Broncos’ last bowl appearance came in 2011 at the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl. While this year marks the sixth bowl appearance for the Bronco program, Western Michigan is still searching for its first bowl win. Second year head coach P.J. Fleck, the youngest coach in the FBS and MAC Coach of the Year, has put together a staff which produced the MAC’s top scoring offense—34.6 points

per game which ranks 29th nationally. While this year marks his second year at the helm of WMU, Fleck is not unfamiliar to the MAC. Fleck played for Northern Illinois University from 1999-2003, and played for the San Francisco 49ers before starting his coaching career. Bronco freshman running back Jarvion Franklin earned MAC Freshman of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year honors. Franklin rushed for a Western Michigan freshman record 1,525 yards and finished the regular season ranked second nationally in scoring: 24 rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown. Franklin, a native of Tinley Park, Ill., has garnered Western Michigan records for single-season scoring and touchdowns. Franklin’s dominating performances have earned him MAC West Offensive Player of the Week four times this season.

2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL | 23

GAME MATCHUP Bronco quarterback Zach Terrell and receiver Corey Davis have combined for a successful passing offense. Terrell earned his first All-MAC honors after leading the MAC in completion percentage and passing efficiency. He ranked first in the MAC with a 70 percent completion percentage, which also ranked fifth in the nation. Terrell completed 17 of 19 passes for 357 yards and four passing touchdowns. His performance resulted in a 99.6 quarterback rating, the second-best single season game rating through the past 10 seasons. Davis earned First Team All-MAC honors, after becoming the seventh Bronco in program history to break 1,000 yards receiving. David had 12 touchdown receptions this season, which led the MAC and tied for fourth-most in the FBS this season. On the other side of the ball, cornerbacks Donald Celiscar and Ronald Zamort combined to lead the country in passes defended with 1.8 per game this season. The Broncos will look to attack on all three phases and take on the Air Force Falcons. The Falcons, with their high-potent, triple-option offense finished the regular season at 9-3. Air Force posted wins over eventual Mountain West Champion Boise State, and then-No. 21 Colorado State. Air Force is playing in its 24th bowl game and first since 2012. Head Coach Troy Calhoun will make his seventh bowl game appearance in his eight years at the helm of the Falcon program. Calhoun became the only coach in the 100+ year history of service academy football to lead teams to at least seven wins and a bowl game in each of his first five seasons. He leads the Falcons back to postseason competition with their 9-4 record, after only claiming two wins in 2013. Senior quarterback Kale Pearson led the team in rushing touchdowns this season with six. He amassed a quarterback rating of 162.53, while throwing the winning touchdown passes to beat both Army and Navy. Pearson had career performances against Boise State and Wyoming. He totaled career highs in three rushing categories during the win over Boise State, while marking career highs in three passing categories in the Wyoming matchup. Defensive back Weston Steelhammer tied a school record with three interceptions in a com24 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

Senior Kicker Will Conant was named Mountain West Conference Special Teams Player of the Year, as well as firstteam all-MW place kicker. He is the fifth kicker in the conference to earn the honor and the first since 2008. Conant’s game-winning field goal as time expired clinched the win over the Colorado State Rams, giving Air Force its ninth win of the season. Air Force finished the season fourth in the Mountain Division, a drastic improvement from their winless conference season the year prior.

While the Falcons hold a 10-12-1 all-time bowl record, the Falcons are winless at Albertsons Stadium. Boise State defeated Air Force 37-26 in 2011 on The Blue, and again in 2013 by a score of 42-20. The Air Force Falcons will look to stop Western Michigan’s Jarvion Franklin, while earning their first-ever win on the blue turf at Albertsons Stadium. Six of the last 10 matchups in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl history have been decided by the final drive. With nearly identical total offense, time of possession and points per game, the 2014 contest may have everyone on the edges of their seats until the final whistle.

The Heisman Trophy Breakdown…

Winners by Position When University of Chicago running back Jay Berwanger won the first Heisman Trophy in 1935 he started a trend that continues to this day. Of the 77 college football players who have won the coveted Heisman Trophy, 41 of them have been running backs, by far the most of any position. Of those 41 running backs, three players have been fullbacks, most recently Oklahoma’s Steve Owens in 1969. Only one defensive player, Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson in 1997, has won the award. Quarterbacks have the second-most amount of Heisman wins at 32. Last year’s winner, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, continued a trend that began in 2000 when Florida State’s Chris Wienke took home the award. Since 2000, quarterbacks have won more Heisman Trophies than any other position with 12. In 1987, Notre Dame’s Tim Brown became the first of only two wide receivers to grab the Trophy (Michigan’s Desmond Howard in 1991 is the other). Two ends have won the award, the last being Notre Dame’s Leon Hart in 1949. A look at the recipients by position…

r. Jon A. Steinbrecher enters his sixth year with the Mid-American Conference (MAC) after being named the league’s eighth commissioner on March 16, 2009. Steinbrecher has expanded bowl opportunities for the conference and stabilized conference membership, increased national and regional television exposure, launched the conference’s first-ever digital network, renegotiated the conference marketing rights agreement with IMG College and enhanced neutral site conference championships in basketball and baseball. Steinbrecher played an integral role in the development of the new College Football Playoff and serves on the Administrative Committee. Steinbrecher led the MAC bid to host the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Regional at Quicken Loans Arena and also developed and implemented a new MAC Coaches Orientation program. Specifically in football, Steinbrecher has led historic achievements in the overall growth of MAC football within the FBS level. Over the last three seasons ten different MAC programs have appeared in a bowl game. Also, the MAC became the first conference in the BCS era to have two teams vying for a BCS berth in the same year without an undefeated season. In 2012 both Northern Illinois and Kent State entered the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game with 11-1 records and ranked in the BCS Top 25. In January, 2013, Steinbrecher witnessed Northern Illinois earn the first ever BCS bowl berth by a MAC member in the Discover Orange Bowl and during the 2012 bowl season a conference record seven teams receive bowl invitations. Last season, Steinbrecher had five different MAC programs receive bowl invitations – Bowling Green (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl); Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl); Ball State (GoDaddy Bowl); Buffalo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) and Ohio (Beef O’Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg). Steinbrecher orchestrated the creation of four new bowl games last fall – the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl (Montgomery, Ala.),

the Bahamas Bowl (Nassau, Bahamas), the Boca Raton Bowl (Boca Raton, Fla.) and the Miami Beach Bowl (Miami, Fla.). Steinbrecher has built the MAC primary bowl agreements this year to a conference-best five guaranteed bowl games (GoDaddy Bowl; Famous Idaho Potato Bowl; Raycom Media Camellia Bowl; Bahamas Bowl DR. JON STEINBRECHER and Boca Raton Bowl) and Mid-American Conference Commissioner two additional secondary agreements (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl; and ESPN owned bowl games such as BBVA Compass Bowl and Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl). These bowl agreements provide the MAC the opportunity to build on relationships with multiple bowl partners, expand national television exposure and broaden geographical opportunities to perform against peer FBS conferences Steinbrecher directed a strategic planning process for the MAC, increased national exposure for the conference, as well as new opportunities for the conference in the areas of a new regional television network deal, marketing and sponsorships and securing longterm partnerships for MAC neutral site championship events. In the summer of 2013, the MAC entered into a three-year regional television deal with Time Warner Cable SportsChannel to expand its television coverage in football and men’s and women’s basketball. This provided the MAC its largest regional television presence for programming throughout the year, and increased promotion and marketing opportunities for the conference.

Following another exciing season, the Mid-American Conference is excited to return to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl for the 6th consecuuve year represented for the ďŹ rst me by the Western Michigan University Broncos

Steinbrecher launched the first-ever MAC Digital Network in 2011 and earlier this summer re-launched the MAC Digital Network with a new partnership with SIDEARM. The Digital Network provides the conference with a new website, enhanced live streaming and programming, mobile platforms via the iPhone, iPad and Android. In 2011, Steinbrecher also negotiated a new marketing agreement with ISP for the conference marketing and sponsorship rights through 2019. ISP merged with IMG and this long-term deal solidified the conference marketing partnership with the new IMG College brand. Steinbrecher negotiated a six-year contract extension with Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena to host the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Conference Tournament through 2017. The contract extension guarantees the continuation of the conference tournament at the same neutral site since 2000, originally Gund Arena and now named Quicken Loans Arena. Steinbrecher also announced the 2014 MAC Women’s Swimming & Diving Championship and 2015 MAC Men’s Swimming & Diving Championship will move to SPIRE, located in Geneva, Ohio, a state of the art facility only 30 minutes east of Downtown Cleveland. In addition, the MAC baseball tournaments in 2012-14 will be played at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio. He joined the MAC after serving six years as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). Prior to the OVC, Steinbrecher served as commissioner of the Mid-Continent Conference (the Summit League). He is the only person to serve as commissioner in all three NCAA Division I Subdivisions (FBS, FCS, DI). In six years with the OVC, Steinbrecher significantly increased the league’s exposure through additional television coverage at the regional and national level. In 2005, he negotiated a five-year contract with ESPN that secured increased exposure for the league. That included being the first conference to sign a deal to have games appear on ESPNU, the OVC had the first sporting event telecast on that network (the 2005 OVC Men’s Basketball Tournament Semifinal). Steinbrecher secured an invitation for the OVC to participate in ESPN’s BracketBusters event. He also implemented conference merchandising and corporate partner programs and in 2008 negotiated a five-year agreement with IMG College to manage the OVC’s multimedia rights and sponsorship sales. In July 2006, Steinbrecher helped spearhead a venture into streaming video with the launch of OVCSports.TV. The multimedia platform provided live and on-demand coverage of every OVC football and men’s and women’s basketball games as well as selected other sports, coaches’ shows, press conferences and special events. In its first two years of existence, OVCSports.TV streamed over 800 events and recorded nearly 5,000 paid subscribers. Under his leadership, the OVC re-emphasized its commitment to sportsmanship by implementing a series of good sports initiatives, including sportsmanship affidavits signed by coaches and administrators, student-athlete ethical conduct orientation and an institu-

tional and team sportsmanship awards. Steinbrecher also initiated a Conference Basketball Issues Committee and oversaw increased promotional efforts for the OVC Basketball Tournament, which resulted in an increase in ticket sales revenue. He also spearheaded the efforts in bidding for, and ultimately securing, the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four for Nashville. Prior to being named Mid-Continent Conference Commissioner in Nov. 1994, Dr. Steinbrecher had previously served the league as Director of Communications, Director of Marketing and Communications and Assistant Commissioner. He joined the Mid-Con staff in 1989 after previously serving in the athletics departments at Houston Baptist University, Indiana University and Davidson College. Steinbrecher has served on a number of prominent NCAA committees, including the Division I Basketball Issues Committee, serving as a member of subcommittees for both men’s and women’s basketball, and in 1999 he became the first non-Division I-A commissioner elected as president of the Collegiate Commissioner’s Association (CCA). In June 2007, he was appointed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group by the late NCAA President Myles Brand. He has served on the NCAA Division I Legislative Council, the NCAA Championship Cabinet, the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee. Steinbrecher is currently a member of the NCAA Championships Cabinet, is Chair of the College Football Officiating Board of Managers and the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel. He is also the Chair of the National Letter of Intent Policy and Review Committee. Steinbrecher has also served as Division I-AAA vice president of the CCA and as a member of the National Invitation Tournament’s District IV Advisory Board. Steinbrecher is a 1983 graduate of Valparaiso University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education and journalism. In 2006, he was bestowed an Alumni Achievement Award from his alma mater and last winter was inducted into the Valparaiso Athletics Hall of Fame. Steinbrecher graduated with a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1984, and he was awarded the doctorate of physical education in sports administration from Indiana University in 1989. An all-conference and academic all-conference selection in football and a conference champion in tennis, Steinbrecher was named Valparaiso’s and the Heartland Collegiate Conference’s Student-Athlete of the Year in 1983. In 2006, he was inducted into the Watauga County (N.C.) Sports Hall of Fame. Steinbrecher and his wife Anne have three children, daughter Grace and twin sons Matt and Will. Steinbrecher follows Rick Chryst, who served as MAC Commissioner (1999-2009). David Reese served as the first commissioner from 1946-64, followed by Bob James (1964-71), Fred Jacoby (1971-82), Jim Lessig (1982-90), Karl Benson (1990-94), Jerry Ippoliti (1994-99).

SUPERIOR, SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Photo of WMU’s Sangren Hall at dusk.WMU combines the resources of a major research university with the personal attention and friendly atmosphere often found at a small college. Taking full advantage of that combination gives students the edge they need to succeed in graduate school, the workplace and life. Students attending WMU enjoy top-notch programs, teachers, facilities and hands-on learning opportunities. They expect and receive one-on-one attention from senior-level faculty members and quickly find that advisors, career specialists, mentors and tutors are within easy reach. In addition, most classes are relatively small in size and taught by the University’s full-time professors. Faculty members have been trained at the world’s leading universities and bring a global perspective to the classroom. A majority of these scholars have a passion for research as well as teaching. They not only share their cutting-edge work in the classroom, but also welcome undergraduate and graduate students alike into their research laboratories and creative studios.

WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TM

Kathy Beauregard, the Director of Athletics at Western Michigan University, has been involved with the Broncos in several capacities over the course of the past 32 years. She is the longest serving athletic director in the Mid-American Conference. Beauregard arrived in Kalamazoo as a coach before moving into administration and 2014-15 marks her 18th season as mentor of one of the top programs in the MAC. Two more Bronco teams captured Kathy Beauregard team championships in 2013-14 as men’s basketball claimed the MAC regular season and tournament title for the first time since 2004, participating in the NCAA Tournament against Syracuse. Women’s soccer captured its first team title since 2003 and made the most of its postseason bid. The Broncos defeated No. 2 seed Marquette in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the largest upset in terms of seed in tournament history. Academically, the Broncos performed excellently hitting a combined GPA of over 3.00 yet again and seeing four programs (m en’s basketball, men’s tennis, golf and gymnastics) earn APR honors for finishing in the Top 10 percent. Over 2012-13 the Broncos saw continued success in the classroom with three programs (women’s soccer, men’s tennis and women’s tennis) ranked in the top 10 percent in the nation in APR and the women’s gymnastics program boasted eight individuals to carry a 4.00 GPA during the spring semester. On the mat, WMU gymnastics captured the 2013 MAC title to join the men’s tennis program in earning a conference crown as the Broncos won the regular season title in men’s tennis. WMU boasted 31 All-MAC selections in 2012-13, including eight first team honorees, and garnered 26 Academic All-MAC nods. The Broncos brought the Men’s FAR Award back to Kalamazoo for the fourth time in six years in 2012-13. WMU had nine Player of the Year honorees spanned across hockey, volleyball, football, men’s basketball and gymnastics.

The Broncos captured Mid-American Conference titles in both gymnastics and men’s tennis in 2012-13. WMU Athletics solidified its presence on the national stage as volleyball and ice hockey made returns trips to their respective NCAA tournaments in 2011-12. It was the second at-large invitation for WMU volleyball since the 2008 season, while hockey earned the automatic bid into the NCAA West Regional by capturing the 2012 CCHA Tournament championship. The Broncos defeated the seventh and third ranked teams in the country en route to hoisting the Mason Cup. Men’s and women’s soccer made back-to-back trips to the MAC Championship game during the fall of 2011 and football played in its third postseason bowl game since the 2006. The Bronco football team also boasted a pair of All-Americans in 2011 with Jordan White, who led the nation in receptions and receiving yards per game, becoming 36 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

the program’s first ever Consensus All-American. The Broncos succeeded again in the classroom in 2011 with a 3.14 combined GPA. Western Michigan’s success on and off the field under Beauregard’s leadership was recognized immediately following the 201011 season. She herself was recognized by NACDA last June at the national convention, receiving the Under Armour Award. The department captured the 2010-11 Jacoby Trophy, recognizing the most successful women’s athletic program overall. The Broncos also finished second in Reese Trophy voting (the men’s athletics equivalent of the Jacoby) in 2010-11. Those two milestones along with WMU’s success in the classroom and in the Kalamazoo was reason enough for the Mid-American Conference to award Western Michigan the Cartwright Award during the fall of 2011. WMU athletic facilities have greatly improved under Beauregard’s leadership. The $8-million dollar Bill Brown Football Alumni Center and the $21-million Seelye Athletic Indoor Center have benefited numerous sports teams and provide top-notch facilities for Bronco student-athletes. The locker rooms at Lawson Ice Arena were renovated and completed over the past year and the department continues to raise funds for the Hyames Field Renovation Project, a two million dollar project to renovate the historic venue into a state-of-the-art facility. Field Turf was also installed at Waldo Stadium during the Summer of 2006. Heavily involved in her profession, Beauregard assumed the chair position of the NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee in 2001, a position which she held for two years. She represented WMU as a member of the NCAA Championships Cabinet and NCAA Football Bowl Certification Committee and currently serves on the NCAA Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Beauregard, after the 2010-11 sporting year, was named named Athletic Director of the Year for the Football Subdivision in the Central Region by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. Previously the senior associate athletic director (1993-97), she supervised all revenue sports, the University’s compliance with NCAA rules, academic services, student-athlete welfare, and athletic marketing and communications. Beauregard initially came to WMU in 1979 as head women’s gymnastics coach. In nine seasons (1980-88), she produced two MAC title teams and was twice named the conference’s coach of the year. Beauregard has been active in numerous community service organizations, including the American Cancer Society, Go Red for Women, the American Heart Association, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the Glowing Embers Girl Scouts Council and the Boys & Girls Club.

Fleck played for two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers (200405). After signing with the 49ers as a free agent in 2004, he spent most of that season on the practice squad before making an appearance versus New England late in the year. He was placed on the injured reserve roster in 2005. In 2006, he left the 49ers to begin his coaching career. Fleck (34/DOB: 11-29-1980) has a son, Carter and two daughters, Paisley and Harper.

SEASON IN REVIEW TM

The authors of one of the best single-season turnarounds in Division I FBS this season, the Western Michigan Broncos proved they could overcome any obstacle by sticking to the core values of the program. Indeed, with a seven-game improvement in 2014 and the promise of more success in the years to come, the Broncos seem to be well on their way to returning to the top of the Mid-American Conference. The seeds of success in 2014 were sown in December 2012, when the University announced P.J. Fleck as the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach. The youngest head coach in Division I FBS and one of only three coaches in the country to have played and coached in the NFL, Fleck immediately set to work laying the philosophical foundation for the Bronco football program. The core values of Responsibility, Trust and Belief bleed into everything the Broncos do both on the field and off, and the results bear it out. The Broncos

struggled through a 1-11 season in 2013, but neither the coaching staff nor players ever wavered in their beliefs, sparking one of the best seasons in program history and maybe the best bounce-back year in the country. The Broncos suffered a setback in their season opener against Purdue, but there were already signs indicating this was a different team taking the field than the one a year ago. Heralded true freshman running back gave WMU fans a glimpse of what was to come against the Boilermakers, taking

off for 161 yards and three scores, while redshirt sophomore quarterback Zach Terrell turned the corner in the second half to nearly bring the Broncos back for the win. Two weeks later they got their first win of the year, beating Idaho on the road in a high-scoring affair between two powerful offensive teams, and the Broncos claimed the first home win in Fleck’s career the next week with a 45-14 drubbing of Murray State at Waldo Stadium. Bumps in the road were coming, with the Broncos falling to Virginia Tech and Toledo in back-toback weeks. Through these losses, however, the team grew. The turning point of the season came against Ball State on Oct. 11 as the WMU trailed the Cardinals 31-14 at the half. Rather than hang their heads or go through the motions, the Broncos took the fight to their opponents and outscored them 28-7 in the second half to take a 42-38 lead. Ball State faced a 1st-and-Goal situation as time wound down, but the Bronco defense recorded four straight stops to keep the Cardinals out of the end zone and seal the win. Things continued to move in a positive direction, with the next step coming in the Broncos’ exciting road win over reigning MAC champion Bowling Green. WMU shut out the vaunted “Falcon Fast” offense in the second half by controlling the clock and compiling 21:04 in time of possession, including 13:02 in the fourth quarter alone. The Broncos followed that up with a pummeling of the Ohio Bobcats on Homecoming, defeating them 42-21 in front of a packed house at Waldo Stadium for their third straight MAC win. The streak reached four games after a 41-10 win at Miami on Nov. 1, a game in which Franklin broke the program’s single-season touchdown mark with three scores to give him 22 on the season. After a week’s respite the Broncos returned to action, throttling Eastern Michigan 51-7 for their fifth straight win and a 7-3 overall record. Corey Davis recorded 134 receiving yards to become just the seventh different player in program history with 1,000 yards through the air, and Davis and Franklin became just the second duo in the country with 54 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

more than 1,000 yards receiving and rushing, respectively. The Broncos closed out their six-game winning streak in most appropriate fashion, defeating their archrival Central Michigan 32-20on the road to reclaim possession of the Cannon Trophy on Nov. 22. Franklin broke the MAC freshman rushing record in the process, going over 1,336 yards on the ground in 2014. He added to that total in the final game of the year, finishing with 1,525 rushing yards to rank third on the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single-season rushing list. After the close of the regular season, it was hard for the MAC to not take notice of what was going on in Kalamazoo.

56 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

Fleck was named the MAC Coach of the Year for his work in laying the foundation and shepherding the Broncos through choppy waters, while Franklin was named both the MAC Freshman of the Year as well as the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Offensive Player of the Year. There were 11 total Broncos named to AllMAC teams, including three First Teamers - Franklin, Davis, and senior defensive back Donald Celiscar. Terrell led the MAC in completion percentage and passing efficiency over the course of the year, completing 70 percent of his passes and throwing 23 touchdowns compared to just 10 interceptions.

rom its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 16th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 15 years of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the-art basketball instant replay system. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With UNLV’s Anthony Bennett claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Mountain West is one of three conferences to have multiple No. 1 NBA draft selections since 2000. Also, with San Diego

State’s Stephen Strasburg earning the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. The pending changes in the NCAA governance structure set the table for CRAIG THOMSON another Conference first, Mountain West Commissioner when two members of the MW Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) were included in the June 2014 meeting of the Mountain West Board of Directors. New Mexico track and field athlete Kendall Spencer, the national chair of the 2014-15 NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and Air Force Academy volleyball player Emma Dridge joined the BOD members in this historic meeting to advance the discussion on student-athlete involvement in the NCAA and MW governance structure. The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders five MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New

Mexico and Utah State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central, Southern and Northern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean, while the addition of the women’s soccer program at Colorado College gives the MW an additional presence in the Rocky Mountains.

HISTORY

The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. TCU re-joined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. With conference realignment sweeping the nation in recent years, the MW has been proactive in addressing membership changes. Boise State University joined the Mountain

West in 2011-12, followed by Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai‘i became a football-only member of the Conference. On July 1, 2013, the Mountain West further expanded when San José State University and Utah State University joined the Conference, bringing to 11 the number of full-time member institutions and 12 football-playing members. On July 1, 2014, the Colorado College women’s soccer program became the first non-football affiliate member of the Mountain West, expanding that sport to 12 Conference participants. When the Mountain West officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MW football and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. Commissioner Craig Thompson also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the first three seasons (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. Entering the 2013 season, the MW has six contracted bowl affiliations – the Las Vegas Bowl, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, Hawai‘i Bowl, Famous Potato Idaho Bowl, Gildan New Mexico Bowl and R+L Carrier New Orleans Bowl. An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many “firsts,” as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

COURSE OF STUDY

Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

FACULTY COMPOSITION

The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study.

Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year.

intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered

HISTORY OF THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY

In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Air Force Academy Director of Athletics Dr. Hans J. Mueh has announce his retirement effective at the end of January, 2015, which will be his 11th as AD and 43rd overall at the Academy. “I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to be in the chair as AD of the best Division I program in the NCAA,” Mueh said. “These 10-plus years have flown by because athletics is a nonstop business, and we’ve had so many changes in coaching staffs, construcDr. Hans J. Mueh tion projects, a whole new corporation to help keep us competitive, and thousands of home contests.” A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004 and his appointment as athletic director. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy’s faculty athletic representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association. Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports. In addition, under his watch the men’s basketball team has played in another NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team has won conference championships and advanced to the NCAA tournament five times. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Atlantic Hockey Association. The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in seven years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program has gone to a school-record six consecutive bowl games and averaged over 9,000 bowl tickets sold. Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. He restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, the athletic department made the transition to a federally-chartered non-profit organization in the summer of 2013, which has led to more fund-raising opportunities. Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the announcement of the Holaday Athletic Center, an indoor training facility. The $15 million facility was completed in July 2011. Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Am-

70 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

ateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/ eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the Region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterman in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team all-league selection in 1965. Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College. Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973. After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon. In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletic representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy’s representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletic representative on the team. He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men’s golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team. Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

AIR FORCE HEAD COACH The Air Force Academy’s purpose is to develop young people of strong character who graduate and serve as outstanding leaders for our country. Air Force student-athletes must complete one of the nation’s most demanding academic curriculums while further embedding the kind of heart and character that are a crucial foundation for service. It’s a purpose Troy Calhoun thoroughly respects and appreciates. While embracing the mission of the Academy, Calhoun has also found a way to build a very competitive football program within one of Troy Calhoun college football’s strongest conferences. Calhoun is the only coach in the 100plus year history of service academy football to lead teams to at least seven wins and a bowl game in each of his first five seasons. Calhoun has twice been semifinalist for the National Coach of the Year award for his efforts on and off the field (2007, 2010). His players have also been amazingly successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team’s most recent NCAA APR is an astounding 976 which once again places the Academy amongst the nation’s best in the sport of football. Calhoun, who is in his eighth season, has also lifted the Falcon football program to unprecedented heights within the Mountain West Conference. Calhoun is 58-44 after taking over a program that had posted three straight losing seasons before his arrival. They have posted wins at Notre Dame and Utah and led the Falcons to a school-record six straight bowl games from 2007-12. In Mountain West Conference play Calhoun is 34-29. Air Force finished the 2007 season 9-4 overall and placed second in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-2 mark in Calhoun’s first year. The Falcons earned their first bowl bid in five seasons, advancing to the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas. The five-game turnaround from the previous season, was the largest in the nation by a first-year head coach and tied as the third-largest overall in the nation. The five-game turnaround is the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games. Calhoun was named the conference’s coach of the year for his efforts. In addition, he was named coach of the year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for national coach of the year honors. Calhoun followed with back-to-back 8-5 overall records and fourth place conference finishes with 5-3 marks in 2008 and 2009. The team earned bids to the Armed Forces Bowl each season and posted the school’s first bowl victory since 2000 with a 47-20 win over Houston in 2009. In 2010 the Falcons posted a 9-4 overall record and recorded their fourth straight top four conference finish with a 5-3 mark. The Falcons were nationally ranked for the first time since 2003 and posted a victory as a ranked team for the first time since 2002. The team capped the season with a 14-7 win over George Tech in 2010 Independence Bowl to earn a second-straight bowl victory. Air Force posted a 7-6 record in 2011 and qualified for the Military Bowl.

The Falcons were 6-7 in 2012 while finishing fourth in the conference with a 5-3 mark. Air Force played in its fourth Armed Forces Bowl to extend the school’s record of consecutive bowl games to six dating back to 2007. Calhoun has led this season’s team to a 9-3 overall record and 5-3 mark in conference play. The Falcons have posted a school-record seven-game turnaround from last season’s 2-10 record. The seven-game turnaround ties as the best in the nation this season and has made Calhoun a candidate for several national coach of the year honors. Air Force won back the Commander-in-Chief ’s Trophy this season, it’s third in the last five years, as well as becoming one of only two teams nationally to defeat a pair of 10-win teams. Air Force accomplished it by beating Boise State and No. 21 Colorado State. Calhoun brought a wealth of experience and impressive resume at the collegiate and professional levels that is flooded with success at every stop to the Academy. Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previous year. Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving as the defensive assistant under defensive coordinator Larry Coyer in 2003. Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level. He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90. He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team that finished fifth in the final polls with a 12-1 record that included wins over national powers Notre Dame and Texas. Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was the Falcons’ recruiting coordinator and the junior varsity offensive coordinator in 1993-94. He moved to Ohio University in 1995 where he served as the quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Calhoun was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. Calhoun moved to Wake Forest in 2001 and remained there prior to his stint with the Broncos. Groomed on the basics of integrity and passion, Calhoun is a native of Roseburg, Ore., and was raised in a home where both kids graduated from the Air Force Academy and were varsity letterwinners on nationally-ranked teams. Calhoun’s younger sister, Callie, is a 1991 Academy graduate and four-year letterwinner in track and cross country. Calhoun finished at the Academy on the superintendent’s list and graduated with over a 3.0 grade point average and a military performance average of better than 3.0. He and his wife, Amanda, live in Colorado Springs and have two children, Tyler (12) and Amelia (10).

SEASON IN REVIEW

Air Force has had a season for the record books in 2014. The Falcons have posted a 9-3 overall record and 5-3 mark in conference play after going 2-10 overall and 0-8 in conference play last season. Along the way, Air Force became one of only two teams in the nation (Ole Miss) to defeat a pair of 10-win teams. Air Force defeated Mountain division champion Boise State and No. 21 Colorado State, who each finished the season 10-2. Air Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven-game turnaround is a school record and ties with TCU and Western Michigan as the best in the nation.

86 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

SEASON IN REVIEW Air Force opened the season winning four of its first five, including beating service academy rival Navy, 30-21, in Falcon Stadium. Following a loss at Utah State, the Falcons closed the regular season winning five of six games, including a 23-6 win at Army to claim a record 19th Commander-in-Chief ’s Trophy victory. Air Force finished the regular season with three straight games against first-place teams. Air Force beat Nevada, 45-38, in overtime in Falcon Stadium. Following their only loss during the stretch at San Diego State, 30-14, Air Force rebounded to beat Colorado State, 27-24. The 2-1 mark against the first place teams solidified Air Force’s standing as one of the top teams in the conference. One of the biggest reasons for the turnaround was the improved defense. The Falcons allowed 40 points per game in 2013 and improved that to 24 points per game this season. The 16 point improvement is the best in the nation and the team’s national defensive rank jumped 72 spots in the rankings to 44th. The Falcons were also opportunistic in turnovers, forcing 17 turnovers this season which is eight better than last season. Senior quarterback Kale Pearson engineered an offense that ranked near the top of the conference in every category. The Falcons are second in rushing (272.2), fourth in scoring (30.9) and third in total offense (423.5). Pearson has a 163.53 quarterback efficiency rating which is the third-best single season effort in school history while throwing for 1,513 yards and 14 touchdowns. Running back Jacobi Owens led the Falcons in rushing with 1,054 yards, becoming just the third sophomore in school history to hit the 1,000yard mark. Senior Michael Husar, Jr., anchored the offensive line and was a first-team allconference selection. Air Force senior kicker Will Conant was named Mountain West Conference Special Teams Player of the Year. He was also named 88 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

SEASON IN REVIEW first-team all-MW place kicker. Joining Conant and Husar as first-team honorees was sophomore safety Weston Steelhammer. Air Force had two second-team honorees in junior defensive lineman Alex Hansen and senior inside linebacker Jordan Pierce. Conant is the first player of the year award winner at Air Force since Chad Hall was named offensive player of the year in 2007. He is just the second player to earn special teams player of the year honors and first since Chris MacInnis in 1993. Conant is the just the fifth kicker in the conference to earn the honor and first since 2008. Conant has hit 18 of 20 field goals, including 17 straight from 60 yards or less, and all 42 extra points this year. He leads the conference in field goal percentage at 90 percent which is 10th in the nation. Conant also leads the conference

90 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

in field goals per game at 1.50 and is tied for first in extra point percentage at 1.000. A Lou Groza Award semifinalist, Conant has twice won the conference special teams player of the week this season. Conant also ranked second in the conference in punting with a 43.8 average with 13 punts of 50 yards or more and 18 downed inside the 20. Steelhammer has made one big play after another this season. He leads the team and ranks third in the conference and ninth nationally in interceptions with six, a .50 pergame average. His six interceptions tie as the fifth-most in school history and are the most since Anthony Wright had seven in 2009. Steelhammer is fifth on team in total tackles with 51 and has 5.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. He also has two fumbles recoveries and a safety. He also tied a school record with three interceptions against Boise State.

His leadership only strengthened his position within campus and the community he serves on a weekly basis. Zach has been involved with… • The Special Olympics – He provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. • Boys on the Move – As a guest speaker he helps promote positive self-esteem for young boys by way of getting them active. • Bronson Children’s Hospital Visits – Zach delivers Christmas presents to kids who are staying in Kalamazoo’s largest children’s hospital over Christmas break. • I’ve Got Your Back Annual Football Camp – Zach is a camp helper, who helps raise money for the foundation to Educate, Impact and Inspire Hope to Youth in Need. • Project Incentive Christmas – Back home in Fort Way, Ind., he gives out presents to less fortunate families located in the Fort Wayne area.

Broam Hart ir Force senior fullback Broam Hart has been a mainstay on the football field, playing in 38 career games, the most career games played by any current offensive player. However, his involvement in the community is even more impressive. Hart was a nominee for the Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team, recognizing areas of volunteerism and leadership among their peers. Among Hartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community outreach include serving as a preacher at West Mansfield Church in his hometown (Alvarado, Texas), serving locally as a Sunday school instructor in Colorado Springs at Pikes Peak Church and volunteering at the Marion House in Colorado Springs, serving meals to the homeless. This past summer he helped with the cleanup and restoration of Waldo Canyon, after a disastrous wildfire swept through the Colorado mountains west of Colorado Springs in 2013. Over Thanksgiving 2013, Hart surprised a local man who was in hospice care in Colorado Springs and spent two hours with him to help brighten his day. The family was so moved by the visit, they contacted the Academy to tell of the tremendous influence that he had on the family. Shortly after the man passed away, he helped the family move and continues to stay in contact with them. In addition to his community efforts, Hart has been active at the Academy helping to film the Cadet-Athletes Against Sexual Violence (CAASV) video. A member of the Air Force football leadership council, he was instrumental in leading the football team as it participated in an accelerated training program against sexual violence. On the field, Hart has played in 38 games and has rushed for 741 yards and eight touchdowns. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting fullback in 2013, he was second on the team with 469 yards and six touchdowns. This season he has rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown.

t was early 1997, and the Big West Conference was without a guaranteed bowl game for its football champion. With Las Vegas having essentially become a Western Athletic Conference city the year before with the move of UNLV to the WAC, the bowl had elected to follow suit and switch its affiliation from the Big West to the Rebels’ new league to maintain local interest in the event. Were there any volunteers to come to the aid of the Big West? Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier raised his hand. What about creating a unique bowl game at a cold-weather site, one that had embraced football at all levels for decades? The idea germinated with the support of Big West commissioner Dennis Farrell, and on June 12, 1997, the new bowl received official certification from the NCAA. The event would be named the Humanitarian Bowl in a partnership with Boise’s World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame. The initial agreement paired the Big West champion with a representative from Conference USA.

106 | 2014 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

In a day of fewer bowls and more flexible selection processes, there was competition for the C-USA berth. Cincinnati, with a promise of healthy ticket sales and a future visit to Boise State by its nationally-ranked men’s basketball team, earned the bid opposite Utah State. The inaugural Humanitarian Bowl was played on December 29, 1997, in front of 16,289 fans on Bronco Stadium’s blue turf. It was considered a good crowd at the time, given USU coach John L. Smith’s lame-duck status. Smith was on his way to Louisville, and the Aggies’ fan base was less than motivated. Cincinnati was inspired, though, and the Bearcats took home a 35-19 victory. The 1998 Humanitarian Bowl pitted Idaho against Southern Miss and provided a glimpse into the bowl’s high-scoring future. The Vandals and Golden Eagles put on an offensive show before Idaho prevailed, 42-35. With a title sponsor aboard for the first time, Boise State made its first-ever bowl game in the 1999 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl,

another back-and-forth affair that saw the Broncos squeeze out a 34-31 win over the John L. Smith-coached Cardinals. In 2000, the final season of Big West football, the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl transitioned to a Western Athletic Conference opponent. Boise State returned as Big West champion and, in Dirk Koetter’s final game as Broncos coach, topped UTEP 38-23. An eightyear association with the Atlantic Coast Conference began in 2001, when Tommy Bowden’s Clemson Tigers rolled up a 49-24 victory over WAC winner Louisiana Tech. The 2002 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl marked the return of Boise State, which wrapped up a 12-1 season with a 34-16 triumph over Seneca Wallace and Iowa State, filling the bowl’s ACC slot. The Broncos’ Brock Forsey notched three touchdowns to finish his senior year as the nation’s leading scorer. The 2003 game was actually played January 3, 2004, sandwiched in between BCS bowl games. Georgia Tech’s P.J. Daniels rushed for a bowl record 307 yards in a 52-10 conquest of Tulsa. The game secured a new title sponsor in 2004 and was renamed the MPC Computers Bowl. Under that moniker, the bowl went 3-for-3 in thrillers, beginning with the first overtime in the game’s history as Fresno State edged Virginia, 37-34. In 2005, Matt Ryan and Boston College scored the first 27 points of the game before holding off Boise State, 27-21, a year before the Broncos’ famous Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma. The 2006 MPC Computers Bowl brought Nevada to the blue turf to play Miami in Larry Coker’s final game as head coach of the Hurricanes. And again, the ‘Canes had to fend off a last-minute Wolf Pack surge to prevail, 21-20. In 2007, the bowl returned to its roots with a new sponsor, Roady’s Truck Stops, and the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl saw Fresno State beat Georgia Tech, 40-28. Nevada was back in the game in 2008, but Maryland repelled a Colin Kaepernick-led comeback by the Wolf Pack and won, 42-35. The 2009 Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl was one for the ages. Idaho

and Bowling Green, the first Mid-American Conference representative to play in the game, took turns putting the pedal to the metal. Through a flurry of momentum shifts, the Falcons took a 42-35 lead with 32 seconds remaining in the game. But the Vandals drove 66 yards in three plays and scored with four seconds left. Idaho decided to go for two points, and Nate Enderle converted with a pass to Preston Davis to win it, 43-42. A sister company of Roady’s, uDrove, took title sponsorship in 2010, when Northern Illinois handed Fresno State a 40-17 setback. Then a funny thing happened on the way to the 2011 game. The Idaho Potato Commission emerged with a commitment as a long-term sponsor, giving the bowl its new identity, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Hear the name, and you know exactly what it is and where it is. And what it was in 2011 was a classic. Utah State led the entire way—until Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton scored with 13 seconds remaining to give the Bobcats their first bowl victory ever. The 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl marked the end of an era— the final game of a 13-year association with the WAC, capping the final season of WAC football. And Utah State, the conference’s final champion, picked up its first postseason victory in 19 years, exploding past Toledo 41-15 with four touchdowns in the final 7½ minutes of the game. The Aggies’ Kerwynn Williams rushed for 235 yards, a whopping 191 of them in the fourth quarter. The Mountain West Conference made its debut in the bowl in 2013, with San Diego State running past Buffalo 49-24 behind 229 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Adam Muema. It was the Aztecs’ first bowl victory outside the San Diego city limits since 1969. Today, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is the longest-running cold weather bowl game in college football. It has hosted 23 different universities and has seen 18 first-round NFL Draft picks come through. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is a celebration of the spirit of winter in the beautiful Idaho mountains. That includes football. And potatoes.
