Miller Stadium Seating capacity 3,580 SPORTS INFORMATION Sports Information Director Ryan Rebholz Office Phone NOTEBOOK A NEW (OLD) FACE WILL LEAD IUP THROUGH THE TUNNEL IN 2017 After the departure of six-year head coach Curt Cignetti following the 2016 season, Paul Tortorella was named the new coach of the IUP football program. Although this will be his first head coaching job, Tortorella is no stranger to the sidelines of George P. Miller Stadium, spending the last 22 years as the IUP defensive coordinator. He s also been the associate head coach since TORTORELLA S DEFENSES HAVE BEEN DOMINANT Tortorella has been known for his defensive prowess at IUP, consistently directing one of the best units in Division II since taking over in The Crimson Hawks finished third in the country with 24 interceptions and 35 forced turnovers in 2016, led a defense that was ranked in the top 12 in six categories in 2015, and was named Football Scoop s Division II Coordinator of the Year in IUP IN SEASON OPENERS IUP is (.599) all-time in season openers.

IUP RANKED NATIONALLY IN THE TOP 10, ASHLAND KNOCKING ON THE DOOR The Crimson Hawks enter the season ranked in the top 25 for the second straight year, showing up at No. 9 in the AFCA Coaches Poll and No. 10 in the D2Football Media Poll. Ashland, which finished its 2016 ranked, sits just three points outside of the AFCA Top 25 to open the year.

He also implemented a spread system with the Golden Eagles, including a 2015 season that saw his offense set program records that included averages of 41.1 points and total yards per game. He inherits a unit that returns its leading passer, rusher, and six returning receivers from a season ago. CRIMSON HAWKS RETURN 15 STARTERS FROM LAST YEAR S NCAA PLAYOFF TEAM IUP is aiming to continue its success of each of the last two seasons, going a combined 19-5 with two NCAA Division II playoff appearances since The Crimson Hawks return 15 starters and 47 total lettermen from last year s 10-2 team, which outscored opponents by an average of score of 46.2 to Both of IUP s losses came to PSAC champion California in the regular season and in the regional semifinals. Both games were played on the road. CRIMSON HAWKS PICKED TO WIN PSAC WEST The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference released its preseason coaches polls on August 7, with the Crimson Hawks the overwelming favorite to come out on top in the Western Division. IUP earned six of the eight first place votes, with California earning the other two to come in second. Slippery Rock, another rival, was picked third. 2

3 CAN IUP OFFENSE MATCH ITS RECORD-SETTING 2016 SEASON? The Crimson Hawks had one of the best offenses in Division II a season ago, setting program records with averages of 46.2 points and yards per game. They also finished fourth in the country with rushing yards per game, scoring 44 touchdowns on the ground. SPLASH PLAYS WERE A HUGE PART OF THE IUP OFFENSE IN 2016 The Crimson Hawks had 74 plays of 20 yards or more last season, an average of over six per game. 17 of those came from at least 50 yards out, including plays of 89 and 84 yards. Returning players combined for 60 of those splash plays last season (19 rush, 41 pass), including 19 touchdowns of 20 or more yards Splash Plays Rush LG Rec LG Pass LG Total TDs Lenny Willams (1 rush) Walt Pegues Chris Wuestner Samir Bullock Allen Wright JoJo Gause LENNY WILLIAMS GOES INTO THIRD YEAR AS IUP STARTING QUARTERBACK R-Jr. QB Lenny Williams, Jr. is back for his third year as the Crimson Hawks signal caller in A twotime Harlon Hill Award nominee as the best player in Division II, Williams is arguably the top dual threat quarterback in the nation, passing and rushing for a combined 5,204 yards and 47 touchdowns in 21 career games.

Despite not putting together a full season, Williams still earned All-Region and All-PSAC recognition, and led Division II in three passing categories - efficiency (214.0), yards per completion (19.70), and yards per attempt (13.47). STRONG RUNNING GAME WILL BE MAIN FOCUS IN 2017 Year in and year out, the deepest and most talented offensive position group are arguably the running backs. Leading the way this season should be Soph. RB Samir Bullock, who earned first team All-PSAC and All-Region honors after rushing for a team-high 989 yards and 82.4 yards per game as a true freshman.

Sr. RBs Chris Temple, Drew Harris and Luigi Lista-Brinza will not see time this season, with the latter calling it a career after a series of bad luck injuries. Temple is the most experienced of the bunch, rushing for 2,539 yards and 35 touchdowns in three seasons. Soph. RB Malik Anderson should get more carries, with true freshmen Duane Brown and Justice Evans also vying for playing time in the backfield.

Gregory came from Charleston, while Bryan was at Carnegie Mellon and Zacharias coached at Central Michigan. He also was able to see two-time All-American Ethan Cooper sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent at the conclusion of the 2017 NFL Draft in April. Cooper had multiple on-campus visits from teams, including the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons, Houston Texas and Jacksonville Jaguars, among others.

IUP racked up 20 interceptions and gave up just 14 touchdown passes. IUP also ranked first in opponents first downs (14.4 per game); second in turnover margin (+1.50 per game); 12th in turnovers (35); tied for 27th in red zone efficiency (68 percent 21 scores in 31 trips); and 32nd in third down defense (33.9 percent 64-for-189).
