Zach Bauman Walter Payton Award Candidate

Rex Mirich - College Football Hall of Fame

Former Lumberjack Rex Mirich was enshrined into the College Football Hall of Fame, becoming the first player from Northern Arizona to earn the rare distinction in 2012.

Mirich played for Northern Arizona when the school was known as Arizona State College at Flagstaff. In the one-platoon era he played on both offense and defense earning NAIA All-America honors at two different positions in 1962 and 1963.

He was a four-year letterman for the Lumberjacks. "I was totally surprised," said Mirich when first notified of the distinction. "It is quite an honor. I was never expecting it. I am proud to represent [Northern Arizona]."

Mirich was voted a team captain by his teammates for his senior season. He aided the squad to a 2015-4 overall mark, and was a key cog in a defense that limited opponents to 109.1 yards per game over a sixgame span.

Mirich was chosen by the Minnesota Vikings in the 16th round of the 1963 NFL Draft and the Oakland Raiders in the 20th round of the 1963 AFL Draft. He played on the defensive line for the Raiders, the Denver Broncos and the Boston Patriots for a total of seven seasons. Mirich earned a bachelor's degree from Northern Arizona in 1966. He was inducted into the NAU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006.

Including the 2012 FBS Enshrinement class, only 904 players and 197 coaches have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame from the nearly five million who have played or coached the game over the past 142 years. In other words, less than one percent (.0002) have been deemed worthy of this distinction.

Founded in 1947, The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame inducted its first class of inductees in 1951. The first class included 32 players and 19 coaches, including Illinois' Red Grange, Notre Dame's Knute Rockne, Amos Alonzo Stagg and Carlisle's Jim Thorpe.

293 schools are represented with at least one College Football Hall of Famer.

Gilleo, who started at left tackle and earned All-Big Sky honors last season, will move to the right side in 2012. Junior Kyle Walker returns as well after earning All-Big Sky honorable mention honors at left guard, while senior Matt Wilson is also back to compete at right guard after starting last season. Line coach Eric Reid will replace graduated seniors Alex Mott (center) and Dwight Boyd with redshirt sophomores Joe Gurski and Shane Moniz.

“Trey and Kyle have been staples of our offensive line for the last couple years,” said Souers. “We expect that position to be very proficient not only in running the football but protecting the quarterback. The key to any offense is being able to run the football and protect the quarterback at the line of scrimmage. If you are able to do that consistently it bodes well for your skill position players.”

The further development of the passing game, especially the deep threat, will depend on the further development of the receivers.

Under the direction of NAU Hall of Famer and former NFL quarterback Jeff Lewis, Souers is confident the position took strides in the spring.

Khalil Paden graduated after leading the team in every statistical category last season. But junior Ify Umodu, who had 50 catches for 667 yards, and breakout freshman Dejzon Walker both return. Walker was named the Offensive Newcomer of the Year of the program and was tabbed the College Sports Madness Big Sky Freshman of the Year after recording 22 catches for 328 yards with three touchdowns.

All-Big Sky second team fullback Jake Hess returns for his second season after joining the program from Boise State last fall. He proved the fullback could be a valuable wrinkle to the offense and looks to make a bigger impact in 2012.

Grossart returns for his senior season after a solid initial season as a starter behind center. He was an All-America Third Team selection

by Beyond Sports College Network and garnered All-Big Sky Honorable Mention honors after ranking third in the Big Sky in passing yards per game at 249.5. He completed 197for-299 with 16 touchdowns on the season and just seven interceptions and had at least one touchdown pass in 10 of 11 games, including five games with two or more.

“There is no substitute for experience at the quarterback position and having a rallying point for the offense always centers around the quarterback,” said Souers. “Cary’s experience gives us a lot more continuity and confidence that we lacked before.”

Grossart will be backed up by redshirt sophomore Chase Cartwright with redshirt freshmen Kyren Poe and Jordan Perry waiting for an opportunity to contribute.

“We have a unique position in that we have four quarterbacks capable of running our offense and are ready to go,” said Souers. “We have more depth at that position than any time I can remember.”

The Lumberjacks’ offensive success again will depend on the development of the line. A season ago, NAU started the same five layers in every game and the results spoke for themselves. Senior Trey

“We had to go through a lot of baptism under fire,” said Souers.

“We had a lot of guys that had not played here before and were in a position to contribute. At times, we looked very good and at times we were inconsistent.”

Junior Jeremy Dang and Oregon transfer Nick Cole, who was sidelined with an injury after four games last season, are both poised for impact seasons after seeing action last season. Junior college transfer Jesse Brantley will also have an impact on the twodeep after transferring from Scottsdale CC after 44 catches for 740 yards and seven touchdowns in 2011.

“It has the talent,” said Souers of the receiver position. “We have to be consistent not just with our ability to run routes, but blocking down field. Coach Lewis has done a great job in the spring of raising bar of the expectations of our receiver position.”

THE DEFENSE NAU ranked fifth in the conference in total defense and third overall in points allowed. Defensive Coordinator Andy Thompson had one of the top units against the run (third overall) but listed seventh in the conference after allowing more than 250 passing yards per game.

While the defense returns seven starters, the unit needed specific help on the defensive line to fill the void left by the graduation of four experienced players, including three starters in Isaac Bond, Dan Pela and Blayne Anderson.

THE SPECIALISTS Junior Andy Wilder has big shoes to fill with the graduation of kicker Matt Myers and punter Drew Zamora last season, filling the kicker roles for the Lumberjacks. After waiting on the sideline for the last three seasons, he is ready to take the field.

Myers took every field goal attempt over the last three seasons, while Zamora handled all but four punts and seven kickoffs (all by Wilder). But Head Coach Jerome Souers says Wilder is ready for the opportunity after serving as a backup the last two seasons and a redshirt campaign.

“Andy Wilder is a very talented young man and he has been waiting his turn,” said Souers. “He has had some old guys that have mentored him the last couple years. I think he is ready for his time. He will pick up where those guys left off and set a new benchmark for the kicking game. He is a very talented specialist with a very strong leg. We are excited about Andy.”

True freshman Ryan Hawkins will serve as Wilder’s backup.

THE SCHEDULE The additions to the Big Sky bring the conference to 11 full members and 13 football-playing schools. Four of the original six charter members of the league – Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana

State University and Weber State University - still call the Big Sky Conference home.

Northern Arizona, which joined the league in 1970, gives the Big Sky five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership.

The expansion means plenty of changes for the upcoming intercollegiate athletic season. In football, teams will continue to play an eightgame conference schedule. Each team will play two “rivals” each season and rotate through the remaining teams. A tiebreaker format has been formulated to determine who will earn the league’s automatic bid to the Division I Football Championship should a tie atop the standings occur.

“The schedule is unique in a lot of different ways,” said Souers.

“Having all the new teams on our schedule will give us the opportunity to see all the new faces. It will create some challenges in preparation, the new teams will have new schemes and thinking. It will be fun for our fans to see some different teams and because they are more regional, it will be fun that way as well.”

The Lumberjacks will host Fort Lewis in the home opener on Sept.

15 after playing two road games to open the season at Arizona State (Aug. 30) and UNLV (Sept. 8).

“The non-conference schedule is challenging and exciting,” said Souers. “Overall, the 2012 schedule is an opportunity to accomplish some great goals. For a team that was so close last year and ready to emerge, I think it is a great schedule.”

NAU opens Big Sky Conference play at Montana on

Sept. 22 before returning for the Family Weekend contest against Portland State on Sept. 29.

“We are hoping that the toughness of the early non-conference schedule with strengthen our team and give us the skills to play in adverse environment and better prepare us to play a tough, early road schedule,” said Souers.

After a bye week on Oct. 6, NAU will travel to North Dakota in Grand Forks, N.D., on Oct. 13 for the first time. The Lumberjacks finish the regular season by hosting three of their final five games at home. NAU hosts new Big Sky affiliate member UC Davis on Oct. 20 for Homecoming before back-toback road games at Northern Colorado (Oct. 27) and at Idaho State (Nov. 3).

The Lumberjacks will then host new full Big Sky member Southern Utah on Nov. 10 and football affiliate member Cal Poly on Nov. 17.

“Our schedule is going to challenge our team but I think they have the mental toughness to endure the adversity that is going to come at us early,” concluded Souers. “They have the mentality to learn and get better each week. If we do it right, we will position ourselves for the playoffs and that is something our program has not enjoyed in some time. We are looking forward to a team that is capable of challenging the conference at that level and a staff that is preparing play beyond the Cal Poly game at the end of the year and into the postseason.”

Viking's running backs coach, Souers followed Read to Montana.

With Souers coaching the secondary, the new staff in Missoula produced records of 6-4 and 6-5 during its first two years. A hint of things to come came in 1988 when the Grizzlies went 8-4 and led the Big Sky Conference in all defensive categories.

In 1989, Souers added defensive coordinator to his duties and the Grizzlies posted an 11-2 record with an appearance in the national semifinals. Montana also tied a national interception record in one game with 10 picks vs.

Boise State. A year later, the Grizzlies opened the 1990 campaign with a 22-15 road win at Oregon State.

During Souers’ nine years as defensive coordinator at Montana, the Grizzlies twice ranked among the nation’s top10 in rushing defense, finishing third in the country in that category in 1992. His last unit in Missoula led the Big Sky Conference in scoring defense.

The peak years during Souers’ stay at Montana came from 1993 to 1996. During that period, the Grizzlies made four straight playoff appearances, played in three semifinals and two national title games. The 1995 squad won the national title and the 1996 team was the NCAA runner-up.

The four-year record for Montana during that time was 48-8.

During the national title run, Souers’ defense became the first in NCAA history to post consecutive playoff shutouts (Eastern Kentucky and Georgia Southern).

He coached six All-America defensive backs at Montana, including future NFL stars Tim Hauck of the Seattle Seahawks and Blaine McElmurry of the Green Bay Packers.

In 1996, when head coach Mick Dennehy was sidelined after undergoing major surgery, Souers stepped in as head coach and led the Grizzlies to victories over Cal State Northridge and Portland State.

Souers and his wife, Paula, have two daughters, Anna (23) and Alaina (21).

He spent eight years coaching in Oregon high schools before making the move into college football.

school single-season charts and were the most by a running back since 2000.

NAU gained 772 yards of total offense against the New Mexico Highlands, shattering the school record set in 1989 against Nevada of 674. It was the highest single-game total in the FCS and second overall in all Division I last season.

Reid joined the NAU staff after developing a reputation as one of the top line coaches in the league while serving in previous positions at Portland State and Eastern Washington.

Reid coached some of the most talented offensive lines in the Big Sky Conference prior to coming to Flagstaff. In 2004 and 2005, the Vikings led the Big Sky Conference in rushing yards and fewest sacks allowed, totaling an average of 200 yards per game on the ground and just 20 sacks over 22 games.

The Big Sky postseason award ledger confirmed Reid’s influence at Portland State. In his five seasons, nine Vikings earned All-Big Sky honors a total of 13 times, highlighted by Brennan Carvalho, who was a firstteam All-America selection by The Walter Camp Foundation and the Associated Press in 2006.

Reid, who was hired at PSU in 2002, had to build his line over the course of a few seasons. His first two years on the job, the Vikings’ were beset with a multitude of injuries. In fact, in the only game in 2003 that PSU’s preseason projected starting lineup was able to go as a unit - against Division I-A Fresno State - the Vikings ran for a season-high 257 yards, and gained 486 overall. It was a testament to the Vikings’ talent and Reid’s coaching ability.

Reid was hired as the Vikings’ offensive line coach in January of 2002. He joined the Vikings after spending the previous two seasons as offensive line coach at Eastern Washington University.

At Eastern Washington, Reid’s 2001 offensive line had three first-team All-Big Sky performers and one AllAmerican, Chris Polinder.

Reid is a 1996 graduate of the University of Oregon with a degree in sociology. A starter at offensive guard, Reid played for the Ducks from 1991 to 1995, starting in the 1995 Rose Bowl and 1996 Cotton Bowl.

A native of Poway, Calif., Reid returned to his home state following graduation. He coached the offensive line at San Diego Mesa Junior College and at San Diego’s Bishop High School

NORTHERN ARIZONA 58, FORT LEWIS 13 GAME 2 - SEPT. 10, 2011 - FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. WALKUP SKYDOME (7,181)

The Northern Arizona football trailed only 14-10 at halftime but failed to score in the second half as in-state rival Arizona posted a 41-10 victory in the season opener for both teams at Arizona Stadium in front of 51,761 fans.

Arizona scored on its first possession of the game, aided by a 42-yard pass from Nick Foles to Juron Criner on the opening play of the drive. Foles then hit Criner from 10 yards to take a 7-0 lead in the game one play later.

The Wildcats scored again just before the end of the quarter, completing a 52-yard possession with a five-yard run by Taimi Tutogi.

The Lumberjack offense got on track in the second quarter, putting together a pair of scoring drives. NAU got on the scoreboard with a 13-play drive that resulted in a 28-yard field by Matt Myers.

Junior quarterback Cary Grossart then led the Lumberjacks on a nineplay, 91-yard drive to end the half that resulted in a 12-yard touchdown to Khalil Paden.

A fter missing his first attempt to Zach Bauman, Grossart completed 16 straight passes in the first half. He finished the half 16-for-17 for 145 yards and the Lumberjacks had the momentum going into halftime after holding the Wildcats scoreless for the quarter.

Northern Arizona scored four times in the opening quarter to cruise to a home opening win over Division II Fort Lewis Saturday at the Walkup Skydome 58-13. It was the first game in the renovated Skydome, which received a $26 million upgrade over the last ninth months.

Quarterback Cary Grossart went 16-for-21 for 271 yards and three touchdowns, while running backs Giovannie Dixon, Zach Bauman and Jamaal Perkins combined for 261 yards on 23 carries with four touchdowns. Dixon led the rushing attack with 136 yards including an 82-yard scamper in the third quarter that tied the fourth-longest run in school history from scrimmage.

NAU lost three fumbles in the contest and missed two field goals while punting just once. The Lumberjacks tallied 622 yards of total offense, averaging 10 yards per play in the game.

Ify Umodu led the receivers for the second consecutive week with seven grabs for 149 yards and two scores.

NORTHERN ARIZONA 20, IDAHO STATE 3 GAME 4 - SEPT. 24, 2011 - FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. WALKUP SKYDOME (9,304)

Kicker Matt Myers’ 41-yard field goal was wide left with seven seconds left ending the comeback effort of the Northern Arizona football team Saturday night at Jeld Wen Field in the Big Sky opener against Portland State 31-29.

NAU trailed 31-17 with 6:09 left in the third quarter but scored the final 12 points in the game with two Matt Myers field goals and a late touchdown. NAU was a two-point conversion from tying and field goal away from winning the game. But it was a valiant effort in the first Big Sky road game of the season.

Trying to run out the clock late in the fourth, PSU quarterback Connor Kavanaugh was intercepted by Taylor Patton at the 20-yard line. He returned it 11 yards. Three plays later Zach Bauman, who finished with 84 yards and two touchdowns, scored to pull the Lumberjacks within 31-29.

The two-point conversion was tipped way.

But NAU had one more chance in the game, getting the ball back with 54 seconds on their own 30 yard line. Quarterback Cary Grossart completed three passes to get down to the PSU 33. Bauman added nine yards to setup the potential game winner by Myers, who missed to the left.

The loss dropped the Lumberjacks to 1-2 on the season. The Vikings improved to 2-0.

Viking running back Cory McCaffrey rushed for 222 yards on 30 carries and scored a career-high four touchdowns to lead the winning effort by The Vikings. Kavanaugh added 134 yards on the ground.

Sophomore running back Zach Bauman rushed for a career-high 219 yards and the Lumberjack defense held the nation's top passing unit to just 171 yards and no touchdowns in a 20-3 victory Saturday in front of a Family Weekend crowd of 9,304 at the Walkup Skydome.

Bond and his teammates recorded 10 sacks, holding Idaho State quarterback Kevin Yost to just 163 yards on a 20-for-30 night with one pick. Yost led the Football Championship Subdivision in passing yards per game with an average of 394.3 and was also first in total offense with an average of 405.5 yards per game entering the contest.

Bauman tallied a 219 yards, tied for 14th-best single game total in school history, with a touchdown on a career-high 32 carries. Junior Gionannie Dixon added 83 yards and a touchdown as the Lumberjacks totaled 336 yards on the ground.

Quarterback Cary Grossart was 11-for-20 for 149 yards.

Bauman started the scoring with a 59-yard burst on the first play of the second NAU possession for a 7-0 lead. The Lumberjacks forced a fumble on the 1-yard line on the next Bengal drive, ending the scoring threat and converting it into a field goal by Matt Myers after a 7-play, 60-yard drive.

NORTHERN ARIZONA 28, SACRAMENTO STATE 27 GAME 8 - OCT. 29, 2011 - SACRAMENTO, CALIF. HORNET STADIUM (6,119)

Ninth-ranked Montana scored the winning touchdown with 4:26 left to complete the come-from-behind win over Northern Arizona in front of a Homecoming crowd at the Walkup Skydome.

After going ahead 24-21 on a 40-yard field goal from Matt Myers with 4:45 left in the game, the Griz got a big return from Peter Nguyen to setup the winning drive on the NAU 46-yard line. Running back Jordan Canada took the next play for a touchdown, scampering 46 yards to give Montana a 28-24 lead.

NAU had a final chance moving into Montana territory. After a four-yard completion to Khalil Paden to the 43-yard line, quarterback Cary Grossart was sacked and threw incomplete pass on third down. Montana closed out the game another sack of Grossart on fourth down.

Grossart finished 19-for-27 for 321 yards with two touchdowns and was sacked six times. Paden had a game-high 167 yards on six receptions with two touchdowns, while running back Zach Bauman rushed for 148 yards on 25 carries. Taylor Julio had a game-high 12 tackles.

Sophomore running back Zach Bauman rushed for a career-high 246 yards and the go-ahead and eventual winning touchdown in the fourth quarter to help NAU to a 27-26 win over Sacramento State at Hornet Stadium.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak by the Lumberjacks to improve to 3-5 on the season and 2-4 in Big Sky play. NAU also snapped a three-game losing streak to the Hornets, winning in Sacramento for the first time since 2003.

Bauman surpassed the 2,000-yard mark in his career in the contest, moving into seventh on the career rushing chart with 2,087 yards. It was the 10th 100-yard rushing game of his career, fourth of the 2011 season and second 200-yard game of the season. The 246 yards was the 11thbest single game total in school history.

Bauman scored on a 1-yard run with 8:50 left in the fourth quarter, giving NAU a 27-20 lead. The Hornets marched back down the field on a 8play, 73 yard drive with 4:53 left but the tying extra-point attempt was blocked by senior Dan Pela.

NORTHERN ARIZONA 34, NORTHERN COLORADO 14 GAME 9 - NOV. 5, 2011 - FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. WALKUP SKYDOME (3,417)

WEBER STATE 34, NORTHERN ARIZONA 31 GAME 10 - NOV. 12, 2011 - OGDEN, UTAH STEWART STADIUM (7,614)

Zach Bauman tallied 250 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns to lead Northern Arizona to a 34-14 victory over Northern Colorado Saturday at the Walkup Skydome.

Bauman, who had 246 yards rushing last week at Sacramento State, rushed for 124 yards on 28 carries, scoring the first two touchdowns of the game. He added 126 yards receiving on five receptions including a 44-yard touchdown catch from receiver Khalil Paden to complete the scoring for NAU. He has now recorded three games this season of 240 yards or more of total offense in a game.

Bauman became the first Big Sky player since Weber State's Trevyn Smith to record 100 yard rushing and receiving in the same game. Smith had 119 yards with three touchdowns to go with 120 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win over Idaho State on Nov. 3, 2007. Bauman is believe to be the second player in NAU history to accomplish the feat, joining David Lang in 1989, who rushed for 189 and had five catches for 112 yards against Nevada on Nov. 18, 1989.

The Northern Arizona football team scored late and almost came away with a road win before Weber State slashed their comeback effort with a 34-31 victory in snowy, cold conditions at Stewart Stadium.

Weber State scored the winning touchdown with 26 seconds left, capping a five-play, 61-yard drive that overcame a go-ahead score by the Lumberjacks with 1:36 left. The drive was aided by a 24-yard return by C.J. Tucket and pass interference call against NAU, setting the ball in short range at the two-yard line.

The Lumberjacks (4-6, 3-5 Big Sky) trailed 19-10 at the half but scored 14 unanswered points to take the lead in the third quarter. NAU came out of the locker room strong, scoring on the first drive to pull within two points at 19-17. Two drives later, Cary Grossart hit Khalil Paden on a 58-yard play to take the lead, the first of four lead changes in the second half.

Big Sky Conference 70

A new era in the Big Sky Conference begins in 2012-13 as the league enters its 50th year of athletic competition, and its 25th sponsoring women’s collegiate athletics.

The Division I Big Sky Conference welcomes the University of North Dakota and Southern Utah University into the fold as full members. Cal Poly and UC Davis join the league as affiliate members in football, where the league competes at the Championship Subdivision level (formerly IAA).

The additions of North Dakota and Southern Utah give the stable Big Sky 11 full institutions and 13 football members.

The current lineup includes four of the six charter members: Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State University and Weber State. Northern Arizona enters its 43rd season in the Big Sky, giving the conference five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership.

Eastern Washington University joined the Big Sky Conference in 1987, followed by Portland State University and Sacramento State in 1996. The Big Sky became a nine-team league in 2006 with the addition of the University of Northern Colorado.

The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, including Eastern Washington in 2010. A Big Sky team has played for the national championship in three of the past four seasons.

The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987

with the addition of Eastern Washington.

The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001.

The Big Sky now includes nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Valley of North Dakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Colorado.

On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big

Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought “Big Sky” would be a perfect name for the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963.

The Big Sky sponsors championships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer.

This upcoming spring, the Big Sky will sponsor a softball championship for the first time.

In 1988-89, the Big Sky Conference first began sponsoring women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women.

Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, is in his 18th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson, who passed away in 2011. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81, while John Roning held the post from 1971-77.

The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

1958 NAIA Playoffs Gustavus Adolphus 41, NAU 12 Tucson, Ariz.

1958 - NAIA Championship Northeastern Oklahoma 19, NAU 13 1958 NAIA Holiday Bowl St. Petersburg, Fla. After beating Gustavus Adolphus in the first round of postseason play, NAU met Northeastern Oklahoma in the NAIA championship Holiday Bowl.

T h e Lumberjacks and Oakies battled it out all game up and down the field, but the most exciting play came in the fourth quarter when the Lumberjacks tried to mount a comeback in front of an 8,500-plus crowd and about 15 million more watching the game on CBS. With time running out and the Lumberjacks down 19-7, NAU drove downfield 92-yards powered by the arm of quarterback Ted Sorich to score a touchdown, but the extra point was missed. With only minutes left and the Jacks down six points, NAU's defense did everything in its power to get the ball back. But the Oakie offense was strong, and as time ran out, NAU had to settle for NAIA national runner-up.

1977 - NCAA Division II First Round Jacksonville State 35, NAU 0 Flagstaff, Ariz.

In its first postseason game in 19 years the Lumberjacks were blanked at home 350 in front of a crowd of 7,584 by Jacksonville State. The Jacks, who never managed to get any points on the board, were beaten in almost every aspect of the game. Jacksonville St. more than doubled the rushing production of the Jacks and came up with 19 first downs while NAU only had 12.

After scoring two touchdowns in the last four minutes of the first quarter, Jacksonville St. hit the locker room at halftime with a 21-0 lead. After scoring two more touchdowns in the third, Jacksonville St. was finally quieted in the fourth quarter with the game ending at 35-0.

1996 - NCAA Division I-AA First Round Furman 42, Northern Arizona 31 Flagstaff, Ariz.

The record-setting Lumberjack football team returned to the postseason for the first time in almost 20 years and the first time as a I-AA program, dropping a 42-31 game to Furman in the first round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. Although the Jacks statistically outscored Furman in first downs, rushing yards, passing yards and possession time, they could not manage to put enough points on the board. Northern Arizona failed to advance as the Paladins scored 21 unanswered points in the last 6:19 of the game.

NAU started quickly, scoring 21

straight points to take a 21-7 halftime lead.

Furman tied the game after three periods, but NAU assumed a 31-21 lead with 6:19 left. The Paladins rallied, taking the lead with 31 seconds left then sealing the win with an interception return for a TD. In his final game as a Lumberjack, Archie Amerson rushed for 206 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries, while Travis Brown threw for 260 yards.

2001 - NCAA Division I-AA First Round Sam Houston State 34, NAU 31 Huntsville, Texas Alex St. Peter’s 20-yard field goal as time expired ended Northern Arizona’s season as Sam Houston State posted a 34-31 victory in the first round of the NCAA I-AA playoffs. Sam Houston State (10-2) advances to face topseeded Montana, while the Lumberjacks complete the 2001 campaign at 8-4.

St. Peter’s game-winning kick was setup by a 58-yard completion from Josh McCown to Matt Buss that put the Bearkats in scoring position. SHSU had taken possession of the ball on the 32-yard line with just 24 seconds on the clock after a NAU touchdown.

NAU had tied the game on a four-yard pass play from Preston Parsons to Clarence Moore. It completed a 12-play, 73-yard drive to tie the game.

Parsons finished with a career-high 338 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receivers Clarence Moore and Johnny Marshall both had career afternoons.

Moore had eight catches for 153 yards with two touchdowns, while Marshall had 149 yards on six catches with a touchdown.

The Bearkats led 24-14 at the half behind three rushing touchdowns in the opening 20 minutes. Sam Houston scored the opening touchdown on a two-yard run

by Joe Rauls. The extra-point attempt failed. NAU then rebounded two plays later when Parsons hit Marshall on a 75-yard bomb for a 7-6 lead.

The Bearkats then got a 42-field goal from Joey Price and a one-yard run by McCown to build a 17-7 lead. NAU responded with a 10-play drive to pull within three at 17-14 when Tom Winn caught a 12-yard pass from Parsons.

2003 - NCAA Division I-AA First Round Northern Arizona 35, McNeese State 3 Lake Charles, La. N o r t h e r n Arizona (9-3) upset top-ranked and top-seeded McNeese State behind freshman quarterback Jason Murrietta's five touchdown passes and a strong defensive effort en route to a 35-3 win in Lake Charles.

Murrietta completed 24-for-35 passes

for 285 yards and five touchdowns, hitting nine different receivers on the night. Four different receivers caught touchdowns, including two by senior Chris Nash, who had a game-high seven receptions.

Murrietta and Nash started the scoring with a nine-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The Lumberjacks added a second score on an 11-yard pass to Ramen Green for his first career touchdown and a 14-0 lead. McNeese managed its only points of the night on a 27-yard field goal from John Marino with 8:23 left in the second quarter.

NAU built its lead to 21-3 on a 7-yard pass from Murrietta to Clarence Moore.

The Lumberjacks held McNeese State scoreless in the second half, adding touchdowns in each quarter to complete one of the biggest first-round upsets in NCAA I-AA playoff history. It was the worst loss at home for the Cowboys since 1990.

McNeese, which had been ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the year and had appeared in last year's 1-AA championship game, completed its season at 10-2.

2003 - NCAA Division I-AA Quarters Florida Atlantic 48, Northern Arizona 25 Flagstaff, Ariz.

Jared Allen passed for 228 yards and three touchdowns and the Florida Atlantic defense - led by sophomore cornerback Willie Hughley's two big plays that led to 14 points - stymied the Northern Arizona offense through the first half as FAU, a third-year member of the Division I-AA football ranks, posted a 48-25 win over the host Lumberjacks in a quarterfinal matchup before 9,134 fans in the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome.

The Owls' speed proved to be a daunting factor in the contest on the Walkup Skydome turf, both offensively and defensively. FAU forced three turnovers, including a 47-yard interception return for a touchdown by Hughley in the third quarter to make the score 27-3, then a 25-yard fumble return by Hughley that set up a three-yard TD pass from Allen to Doug Parker to make it 41-3.

In the first half, the Lumberjacks' offense had a difficult time getting any momentum on any drives, as NAU was held to 127 yards and just three points at halftime as the Owls vaulted to a 24-3 lead.

The Lumberjacks got offense rolling in the second half, but it was too late. NAU rolled up 267 yards of offense after halftime and scored 22 points in the fourth quarter thanks to recovering an onside kick and a 57-yard pass from receiver Clarence Moore to fellow receiver Chris Nash - off a lateral from freshman QB Jason Murrietta - that closed the scoring.

J.L. Walkup Skydome

In 2012, the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome, one of the most unique venues in all of college athletics, celebrates its 36th year as the entertainment center for northern Arizona.

The building underwent a major renovation from Dec. 2010-Sept. 9, 2011, at a cost of $26 million. The scope of the project included bringing the fire, life and safety up to code while remodeling the bathrooms, concourse, offices, suites, locker rooms and press box. The athletic training and equipment on the main floor were also remodeled and three elevators were added to the complex. Fans now enter the building to a panoramic view of the field on the East and west concourses. Capacity was reduced to 10,000 but now feature 21-inch wide chair back seating.

The Skydome has been the home of NAU football, basketball and indoor track and field since 1977. Construction began in the fall of 1975, and the facility was completed in September 1977. Seating capacity for football originally was 15,000 and 7,000 for basketball.

Once the largest wood-span structure of its kind in the world, the Skydome was built at a cost of more than $8 million. It covers an area of 6.2 acres, with the roof spanning more than 500 feet and rising 142 feet above the playing surface.

The Skydome showcases the REALGRASS™ surface installed in the spring of 2008 by the Hellas Construction firm of Austin, Texas. The carpet, the Matrix version of the brand REALGRASS™ cost close to $1 million. The REALGRASS™ Matrix system is comprised of a monofilament spinneret yarn in two different sizes and colors. It is the same installed for the Dallas Cowboys' stadium.

With the 2001 renovation to the Skydome floor, the 96,000-square foot surface was covered with Mondo. The track contains a six-lane, 300-meter non-banked loop (eight sprinting lanes) with the infield containing enough area for six NCAA-standard basketball and volleyball courts, as well as two regulation tennis courts. Track and field specific, the facility now has 12-

month training capabilities. When covered for football with artificial turf, the Skydome supports a practice pole vault pit and a long/triple jump runway, as well as a lane for sprinting and hurdles. When the turf is up, the facility can be used for intramural and camp sports, and has enough room for a varsity soccer practice.

The roof was also resurfaced during the summer of 2000 and the astroturf was replaced in 2002 from a surface that was in the Tropicana Dome, the home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, in St. Petersburg, Fla. The concourse contains offices, meeting rooms, restrooms and concession stands. Located on the dome’s floor level are fully equipped locker rooms and stateof-the-art athletic training and weight rooms. During the summer of 1997, the dome underwent a $1 million lighting renovation that further enhanced the Skydome’s lure for television cameras. Fresh air and heat come through 19 large ducts, maintaining a constant temperature of 72 degrees.

The first NAU sporting event held in the Skydome was a Lumberjack win over Montana in football on a last-second field goal, 25-24. The first NAU basketball game was a 101-76 triumph over Alaska Anchorage.

Special athletics events held in the Skydome include a Division II football playoff game in 1977, a Division I-AA football playoff games in 1996 and 2003, a first-

round National Invitation Tournament basketball game in 1986 and 2006, the 1987, 1997, 1998 and 2006 Big Sky Conference men’s basketball tournaments, and the 1984, 1990, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012 Big Sky Conference indoor track and field championship meets. In 2003, comedian Jay Leno appeared at the Skydome in a special Family Weekend event.

Many special events, including concerts, trade shows and high-school state tournaments are held in the Skydome each year. It also serves as training camp home of the Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix Suns.

In May of 2000, the facility hosted a WNBA exhibition game between the Phoenix Mercury and the Detroit Shock.

NAU is one of 11 universities to own its own domed facility. The others are Idaho, Idaho State, Minnesota, North Dakota, Northern Iowa, Northern Michigan, North Dakota State, South Dakota, East Tennessee State and Syracuse.

University President

Dr. John Haeger John D. Haeger leads Northern Arizona University in its commitment to undergraduate education-a c o m m i t m e n t enhanced by the university's ongoing efforts in research, graduate education and distance learning.

Dr. Haeger has been NAU president since November 2001 after joining the university to serve as NAU provost in June 2000.

During his term as president, Dr. Haeger has guided the university to new heights in student enrollment. He also has ushered the university into its largest building boom since the 22year term of former NAU President J. Lawrence Walkup.

Further, he has fully endorsed a national effort to increase institutional accountability, explaining that NAU must perform on a level that demonstrates its significance to students and to society.

Among university achievements under his leadership: • Tuition guarantee. Dr. Haeger instituted a "block tuition" plan that guarantees first-time, full-time freshmen and transfer students the same tuition rate for eight semesters.

• Access and affordability. NAU has partnership with 15 community col-

leges throughout the state. The initiative streamlines the credit transfer process, allowing students enrolled at partnering community colleges to save time and money by being admitted to NAU while they are earning an associate degree.

• Innovation. NAU-Yavapai opened its Prescott Valley doors last fall, allowing students to earn bachelor’s degrees at about one-third the cost of a traditional, residential college experience. The savings comes from offering a limited number of degree options and using existing resources through NAU’s Flagstaff campus. The cost-saving model garnered the attention of Gov. Jan Brewer, who called it “visionary” and “an example for the entire state and the nation.”

• Expansion of nursing and the health professions. The university has placed emphasis on graduating more students in nursing and developing or expanding programs in occupational therapy, athletic training and physicians assistant.

• Commitment to research.

President Haeger has instituted NAU's first office of Vice President for Research. In Yuma, a 12,225-squarefoot building that will provide research four-year degree opportunities.

• High Country Conference Center.

Dr. Haeger initiated a joint partnership between the city of Flagstaff, Drury

Hotels and Sodexo to build a 42,000square-foot conference center and an adjoining hotel and parking structure.

Consultants have estimated the economic benefit to northern Arizona to be about $7 million annually.

• 1899 Bar & Grill. The university has opened an upscale steakhouse in the old north union that is open to the public and complements the conference center • Largest gift in university history.

The College of Business Administration was able to acquire the largest gift in university history, a $25 million donation from prominent business leader William Franke. The college was renamed The W.A. Franke College of Business.

• Arizona Cardinals partnership. The Cardinals agreed to continue their training camp in Flagstaff. About $7 million will be added to the northern Arizona economy as a result.

Dr. Haeger is a member Arizona Board of Education, the Governor's P20 Council, the board of directors of the Translational Genomics Research Institute, is former chair of the United Way of Northern Arizona board, serves as commissioner for the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, and is past chair of the Council of Presidents of the Big Sky Conference.
