7 The Coaching Staff 5

8 Head Coach Al Lavan Delaware State University gave Alton "Al" Lavan, 59, his first head-coaching job on January 2, The Fort Pierce, FL native has wasted little time in rebuilding the Hornets football program. Last season, Lavan led the Hornets to their first winning record since The team was 7-4 overall, and third in the MEAC with a 6-2 record. The conference mark was DSU s best since Delaware State was picked to finish sixth in the 2005 pre-season MEAC poll. The 2005 season also marked the first time since 1985 that the Hornets posted an undefeated record at home (5-0). The 2005 season began with a nationally televised (ESPNU) victory at Florida A&M, snapping a 10-game losing streak to the Rattlers. It was also Delaware State s first opening-day win against a Division I-AA foe since After a 38-6 win over Millersville the following week, the Hornets were 2-0 for the first time since Following consecutive road losses to three nationally ranked teams (James Madison, Coastal Carolina, Hampton), Lavan led the Hornets to five wins in the last six games. Lavan was rewarded for the team s success with a contract extension that will keep him with the Hornets through the 2010 season. During his first season at Delaware State in 2004, Lavan led the Hornets to a 4-7 overall record and a 4-3 mark in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), DSU s first winning record in conference play since The year before Lavan s arrival, the Hornets lost their first nine games en route to a 1-10 overall record. The highlight of the 2004 season was Lavan s first DSU victory, a upset of eventual MEAC champ Hampton, the Pirates only loss in a 10-1 regular season. In addition to a victory over defending MEAC champ North Carolina A&T, the Hornets closed out the season with impressive road wins against Norfolk State and Howard during the 2004 season. More than the on-field improvement, Lavan has brought a change of attitude to the program. In addition to installing the first comprehensive strength and conditioning program in team history, he has spearheaded changes in the team s academic, recruiting, practice and discipline policies. The team is also benefiting from new audio/visual and computer equipment, thanks to a generous donation from prominent alumni spurred by Lavan s outreach efforts to university supporters. Lavan has also demonstrated concern for his players by initiating a program to bring local and nationally recognized speakers before the team to share their stories. The team s commitment to public service is also a Lavan priority. The past two years, the Hornets have hosted holiday parties for area foster children, participated in reading programs at local schools, and provided mentoring services. Lavan has also gained popularity around campus by "encouraging" his players to support other DSU sports teams. It is not uncommon to see Lavan and his troops cheering on the Hornets volleyball, softball or basketball teams during home games. All of the above has made Lavan a popular guest on the banquet and speaking circuit during his short time in Delaware. Prior to accepting the Delaware State position, Lavan served for two seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Michigan University. He was promoted to assistant head coach for the 2003 football season, and upon the lateseason firing of then-head coach Jeff Woodruff, Lavan was named as interim head coach. After he took over the 1-8 team, Eastern Michigan won two of its final three games. In more than 18 years as a NFL assistant, Lavan s resume includes stints with the Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, and the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a member of George Seifert s 1990 Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers coaching staff. That team included former Delaware State University standout John Taylor, who caught a touchdown pass in the 49ers win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV. In Dallas, Lavan worked under Hall of Fame head coach Tom Landry. He helped Cowboy running backs Tony Dorsett and Herschel Walker combine for six 1000-yard seasons. He helped lead Dallas to division titles in 1981 and 85, and wild card playoff berths in 1980 and 83. Lavan has also served as position coach for NFL all stars Roger Craig, Priest Holmes, Tom Rathman, Ernest Byner, Robert Newhouse and Bam Morris. Lavan s collegiate coaching tenure includes stops at Colorado State, Louisville, Iowa State, Georgia Tech, Stanford, and Washington. He helped guide Georgia Tech to the 1978 Peach Bowl, and Washington to the 1993 Rose Bowl and 1995 Sun Bowl. While under Lavan at Washington, Napolean Kaufman rushed for a then-school record 1,390 yards in 1994 and had 1,851 all-purpose yards in He played seven NFL seasons before retiring in After a standout career at Colorado State University, Lavan was selected as a defensive back by the NFL s Philadelphia Eagles in the eighth round of the 1968 draft. He also played two seasons for the Atlanta Falcons before his professional career was cut short by a neck injury. Lavan earned a bachelor s degree from Colorado State in Lavan is a member of the American Football Coaches Association and the Black Coaches Association. He and wife Bess are the parents of three children, Travis (35), Doug (32) and Maeleeke (27).

9 Q&A with Coach Lavan Q: As you approach your third season at Delaware State, how would assess the state of the football program? Lavan: We have made great strides in a number of areas, but still have a way to go in others. When I arrived here, there was a glaring need to improve our overall talent level, strength and conditioning, and team speed. I believe the talent level is up, but it s still a challenge to find quality linemen. There s such a demand for quality big men at all levels of the collegiate game. In most cases, it takes 1 1/2 to 2 years to develop the kind of linemen it takes to compete at a high Division I-AA level. Our team speed is getting better and should be an asset for us this year. Overall, I m quite satisfied with the progress we have made, and the direction we are heading. The offense must step up and our special teams must continue to shine. Q: Delaware State continues to attract I-A and junior college transfers. How do transfers fit into the team s rebuilding plans? Lavan: Most coaches would prefer to develop their own talent. However, transfers are often the "difference makers" on most successful I-AA teams. It takes time to develop high school talent into quality players, so transfers allow us to fill immediate needs while giving young guys a chance to grow. Our coaching staff has done a good job of identifying needs and finding quality transfers to fill those holes. I think we have a good mix of homegrown talent and transfers this season. Q: Most would agree that the Hornets exceeded expectations in each of your first two seasons. How does that affect the expectations for the upcoming g season? Lavan: No one will put any more pressure on us than ourselves. Our goal is to keep getting better in all areas; from off-season workouts to film study to practice to game day. I m not one to make predictions about a season, or whether we should beat this team or that team. I will predict that we will be prepared and play hard for four quarters. As long as we do the little things it takes to be successful, the wins will take care of themselves. Q: How much of a difference will the artificial turf and lights make this season? Lavan: The turf and lights will certainly add to the home atmosphere. From a competitive standpoint, the additions will allow us to get more out our practices. The lights will give us more flexibility in practice times and the turf will allow us to preserve our grass (practice) field longer. The turf also gives us another tool when it comes to recruiting, Q: The Hornets made some progress in the running game last year, but less than you would have liked. Is that a fair assessment? Lavan: Our running game has been average to below the last two years. We have had a few good spurts in the running game, but not nearly enough. There s no question we must get better. A consistent running game is key to our spread offense. It will take a team effort to improve our running game; we must recruit and coach better and the players must put in the work. Q: You lost a number of key players on defense. What can we expect from the defense this season? Lavan: Last year was extraordinary for our defense. Players like (LB) Sam Smith, (LB) Kenny Kern, (DB) Deon Rheubottom and (DB) Blake Saunders don t come along every year. This year s defense will have less experience, but could be faster. It s not fair to expect the defense to do more than its share this year. Al Lavan, as a Dallas Cowboys assistant, with Tony Dorsett and Hershel Walker. 7

Another of Hall s pupils, senior inside linebacker Kenny Kern, signed a free agent deal with the Cleveland Browns last spring. Kern was second on the Hornets with 61 tackles and five sacks in As for special teams, Delaware State was second among all Division I- AA teams with a 42.3 net punting average in The Hornets were second in the MEAC in both punt return defense and kickoff return defense last season. Senior punter Eric Contos was a 2005 SportsNetwork First Team All- America, Sheridan Broadcast Network All-America, Associated Press Second Team All-America and All-MEAC First Team selection after finishing second in Division I-AA with a yard punting average. Junior placekicker Peter Gaertner was fourth in Division I-AA in field goals last season (1.60 pg), connecting on 16-of-21 attempts (.762). He was also 23-for-23 on extra point kicks. Additionally, Delaware State special teams recorded five blocked kicks last season. During 2004, Delaware State s special teams were among the best in Division I-AA. Deon Rheubottom was second in the MEAC, and eighth in the nation, in punt returns with a average. He was also among the nation s leaders with two punt return touchdowns (73, 69). As a team, in 2004, the Hornets were fourth in Division I-AA in punt return average (15.1 ypr). Delaware State blocked two punts in 2004, returning one for a touchdown. Rheubottom and placekicker Peter Gaertner earned MEAC Special Teams Player-of-the-Week honors during the 2004 campaign. In 2004, the Hornets were fifth in Division I-AA in kickoff return yardage defense at yards per attempt. DSU s kickoff coverage unit forced and recovered two fumbles during the 2004 campaign. Delaware State was 17th in Division I-AA in punt return yardage defense (5.90 ypr), while recovering three punt return fumbles in Hall was also instrumental in the play of strong safety/linebacker Sam Smith last season. Smith was a 2004 All-MEAC First Team and Don Hansen Division I-AA All-America Third Team selection after collecting 104 total tackles, including 14 tackles-for-loss and 6.5 sacks. He was second in the MEAC, and led all Division I-AA defensive backs in tacklesfor-loss. Prior to joining the Delaware State staff, Hall served as a defensive graduate assistant at the University of Arizona for the 2003 season. His responsibilities included defensive and special teams breakdown for practices, organizing offensive scout teams and assisting with defensive backs and returners.

ASSISTANT COACH DWAYNE THOMAS (Phoenix College 89) Defensive Line Second Season Thomas joined the Delaware State staff in January 2005 after five seasons as defensive line coach at Tennessee State University. Last season, Thomas helped guide the Hornets to a MEAC-leading 37 sacks (third in Division I-AA). Despite playing in just eight games, sophomore lineman Kelly Rouse was second on the team with 11.5 tackles-for-loss and sixth with 47 total tackles. He was also fourth on the team with three sacks. While Thomas was at TSU, the Tigers were tops in the Ohio Valley Conference in overall defense in 2003 and number one in scoring defense in The 2001 Tennessee State squad was number 13 in Division I- AA in scoring defense. Tennessee State produced four All-OVC First Team defensive linemen, three of whom led the league in sacks, during Thomas tenure. One of them, Paul Thomas, was a 2004 finalist for the Buck Buchanon Award, presented to the top defensive player in Division I-AA. From 1996 to 99, Thomas was a defensive line coach at Division III Montclair State in New Jersey. During his tenure, Montclair captured an ECAC championship in 1997 and a New Jersey Athletic Conference title in Thomas helped produce four All-NJAC linemen, a league Freshman-of-the-Year, and two conference sack leaders during his years with the Red Hawks.

15 2006 Football Outlook... The Next Step As the era of head coach Al Lavan enters its third year, Delaware State looks to take another step forward in its bid to return to the top of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Most would agree that the Hornets exceeded expectations in each of Lavan s first two seasons, going 4-7 in 2004 and 7-4 last year. Lavan has led the team to a 10-5 record in the MEAC during the span. The Hornets Al Lavan were 1-10 overall and 1-7 in the MEAC in 2003, the year before Lavan arrived. Delaware State s 2005 highlights included a season-opening nationally televised win (ESPNU) at Florida A&M, the Hornets first victory against the Rattlers since Last season also featured victories in five of the last six games and a 5-0 record at home. "We certainly made some strides in the last two years, but there is so much more to do," Lavan said. "The progress we ve made has allowed us to recruit better players and attract some transfers who can provide immediate help." This season will be critical in the Hornets rebuilding, as a number of key players must be replaced from last year s squad. Lavan expects to return just 11 starters, including four on defense. More than 35 returning lettermen and a bevy of transfers will highlight the 2006 roster. The Offense Last year s concern has given way to a sense of optimism this season. The 2005 Hornets began the season with redshirt freshman Vashon Winton (rso. 6-2, 195) as starting quarterback, an unproven running game and a lack of depth on the offensive line. Winton played well enough to earn MEAC Rookie-of-the-Year in 2005 and the respect of his teammates. A solid 2006 spring camp also boosted his Vashon Winton confidence. Winton completed 133 of 252 passes (52.8%) for 1,485 yards and eight touchdowns last year. Kurt Eldon (sr. 6-2, 200) and Ollie Taylor (r-jr. 6-0, 190) will compete for the number one reserve spot. Eldon, a Minnesota Tech (JC) transfer, saw limited action as Winton s back-up a year ago. The versatile Taylor will make the back-up competition interesting due to a solid showing in spring drills. Regardless of who is at quarterback, he will have perhaps the best crop of wide receivers in the MEAC on his side. Topping the list is wideout Shaheer McBride (jr. 6-3, 200), a 2005 All-MEAC First Team selection. Last season, he was among the league leaders with 50 catches for 720 yards and six touchdowns. McBride, the 2004 MEAC Rookie-of-the-Year, has already moved in the Top 10 on the Delaware State University career lists for receptions and receiving yards. Also returning to the receiving corps in Dennis Savedge (r-jr., 6-4, 200), who was second on the team with 26 catches for 207 yards last season. Big targets Erick Jones (r-fr. 6-3, 195) and Octavious Everett (so. 6-1, 215) join the active roster this season. Jones, a 2005 redshirt, raised eyebrows with his seven catches for 133 yards and three touchdowns in the 2006 spring game. Everett, a transfer from Georgia Military College, is also coming off a solid spring. If that s not enough, the receiving corps has been bolstered by the additions of I-A transfers J.J. Bedle (Syracuse/r-so. 5-10, 190) ) and Kelvin Grant (Clemson/r-sr. 6-3/215). Each will make a serious bid for playing time after joining the program during the summer. The battle for the tight end spot is between Jeff Postell (rjr. 6-5, 230) and Chris Singh (r-so. 6-4, 240). Some of the best competition this season will occur at running back. Emmanuel Marc (sr. 5-10, 205), the leading rusher among returning players, enters summer camp as the number one halfback. He rushed for 171 yards and had eight catches for 113 yards in a back-up role last season. Among Marc s competitors are three players who have yet to record a I-AA carry. Junior college transfer Lennox Norville (jr. 6-0, 215) joined the team in the summer after rushing for nearly 2000 yards in two seasons at Alfred State (NY). Chris Strother (r-so. 5-10, 180) comes to the Hornets after sitting out two seasons at Emmanuel Marc I-A Central Florida. He combined for 2500 yards and 39 touchdowns in his last two seasons at Carol City HS in Miami, FL. Michael Gable (rfr. 6-2, 200) sat out the 2005 season as a redshirt. He rushed for 1300 yards and 16 touchdowns as a high school senior. Adam Shrewsbury (so. 6-0, 220) returns at the fullback position. He s expected to play a bigger role in the offense this season. The offensive line has experience but lacks quality depth. The top players up front are guards Jeremy Breath (jr. 6-2, 315) and Travis Pierce (r-sr. 6-2, 300), along with tackle Derrick Upchurch (sr. 6-5, 315). Breath has started every game since making the squad as a true freshman. Upchurch is a preseason All-MEAC Second Team pick. Pierce has starting experience at guard and center. The interior line also welcomes the return of center Nick Richmond (r-fr. 6-3, 300), who sat out the last nine games in 2005 due to a knee injury. He started the first three games last season as a true freshman. Center Addison Wright (jr. 6-0, 290) performed well in a fill-in role last season. DJamal Kirby (rso. 6-5, 265), along with junior college transfers Joshua Clervoix (Nassau CC/sr. 6-2, 300), Joe Parker (Hancock 13

16 2006 Football Outlook... The Next Step CC/jr. 6-3, 315) and Luke Petion (Lackawanna JC/jr. 6-2, 280) will battle several freshmen for playing time up front. The Defense The defense will face the challenge of replacing several key players, including NFL signees Sam Smith (New England Patriots) and Kenny Kern (Cleveland Browns), the anchors of the linebacking corps. Smith, an All-America selection, was the team leader in tackles last season, while Kern was second. In addition, four-year starter Deon Rheubottom and 2005 All- MEAC First Team selection Blake Saunders must be replaced at cornerback. Jeremy Breath Saunders recently completed his first season with the Arena League South Albany Bulldogs. This year s defense returns just four starters, although several others logged significant minutes as reserves. The top returning tackler is inside linebacker Russell Reeves (r-jr. 6-3, 240), who had 52 stops in an injury plagued Joining Reeves at linebacker will be Kelly Rouse (jr. 6-3, 240), who recorded 47 tackles, including 11.5 backfield stops in just eight games as a defensive end last season. Despite the change in positions, Rouse is a 2006 preseason All-MEAC Second Team selection. The linebacking corps also features former starter Ken-Won Miller (r-sr. 6-0, 225), who expects to be at full strength after missing most of last season due to a knee injury. Veteran Jarrod Wallace (r-sr. 6-0, 205), a spot starter, also returns. He had 46 tackles in his first season at linebacker after switching from fullback in the spring of Omonigho Imeokparia (r-sr. 6-0, 220), another former starter, also returns. Former quarterback Josh Pope (r-fr. 6-1, 190) is now a linebacker. He showed off his athletic ability by recording seven tackles, including three sacks, in the 2006 spring game. Among the newcomers at linebacker are Keola Asuega (jr. 6-0, 215), a transfer from Orange Coast CC. He will be among those trying to replace Sam Smith at outside backer. Jackie Watkins (so. 6-1, 240), a transfer from MEAC rival Hampton, and Highland Community College transfer Cameron McBride (jr., 6-3, 220), are among the other new faces added to the linebacking corps. The front line will be headed by two Division I-A transfers now in their second year with the club. The coaching staff is expecting a breakout year from left end Stephon Hopkins (r-sr. 6-3, 245), who transferred from the University of Minnesota prior to the 2005 season. Hopkins was named the Most Improved Player on the defense during spring 2006 camp. Tackle Jamaal Jones (rso. 6-4, 295) also appears ready to step up after an adjustment period in Amanuel Smith (sr. 6-0, 265), Akiel Russell (jr. 6-4, 250), Fabian Dunn (r-fr. 6-4, 270), Ron Spinner (so. 6-3, 300) and Bryson Roache (so. 6-7, 270) will each get his first real test along the line this season. Local product Tyron Hurst (fr. 6-2, 300), a former Dover HS standout, has also joined at the front line this year. Despite the losses of Rheubottom and Saunders, the secondary could be just as good. Free safety Jamel Trott (r-sr. 6-4, 195) is a preseason All-MEAC First Team pick. Last season, he was fourth on the team with 48 tackles and tied for second with two interceptions. Strong safety Tyrone Kelly (r-sr. 6-0, 190) returns for his second season after transferring from I-A Eastern Michigan last summer. In 2005, he recorded Kelly Rouse 37 tackles and two interceptions. Another safety, Ryan Robinson (r-jr. 6-1, 185), is back for his third season. Speedster Kadafi Tunsil (sr. 6-0, 190) hopes to be at full strength to start the season. Last year, he appeared in just three games due to eligibility issues and a knee injury. Another regular the past few seasons, Kofi Amoah (sr. 5-10, 180), returns to the cornerback spot, while Akeem Green (jr. 5-9, 170) and Josh Keitt (rsr. 5-9, 185) are former backups who are expected to compete for more playing time this year. Jeremy Biandudi (r-sr. 6-1, 185) has joined the secondary after competing at running back and receiver his first three years. Several talented newcomers also join the secondary this year. Special Teams Lavan s arrival in 2004 has also coincided with the elevation of special teams play at the school. The past two years Hornet special teams have been marked by superior kicking, stingy kick coverage and game-changing blocks. Despite the loss of All-America punter Eric Contos, special teams should remain a strength for the Hornets. Placekicker Peter Gaertner (sr. 6-0, 180) set a school record with 16 field goals (16-for-21) last season. He was also successful on each of 23 extra point kicks. Gaertner nailed a schoolrecord four field goals in one game and three in another in The punting duties are expected to be taken over by Bakersfield CC transfer Josh Brite (jr. 6-0, 180). The Schedule The Hornets will open the season with a visit to Detroit to face Florida A&M in the Ford Football Classic. The game will be played at Ford Field, site of Super Bowl XL. The non-conference slate is highlighted by a visit to I-AA power Northwestern State (La.). First time opponents St. Francis (Pa.) and Concord (WV) will visit the Hornets this year, as will MEAC rivals Hampton, North Carolina A&T and South Carolina State. The St. Francis contest will be the first official game on the new A-turf and under the newly installed lights at Alumni Stadium. 14

40 Delaware State/National Football Foundation Delaware State University & The National Football Foundation/ College Hall of Fame a winning team Dover, DE --- On June 13, 2006, Delaware State University took the historic step of chartering the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, Inc. in the state of Delaware. The creation of the new National Football Foundation (NFF) chapter in Delaware was celebrated with a dinner at Dover Downs. Established in 1947, the foundation is a member-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the future of amateur football at local, state and national levels. The mission is to promote and develop the power of amateur football in developing the qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, competitive zeal and the drive for academic excellence in America s young people. Delaware State University is the first Division I-AA school to charter the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, Inc. The university chapter consisted of 88 members upon establishment, the second highest for a chartering institution in the East Region. Delaware chapter members include DSU administrators and coaches, as well as high school coaches and representatives from scholastic governing bodies. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, Inc. has 120 chapters in 47 states. Delaware State head football coach Al Lavan was well acquainted with the NFF s support of amateur football prior to his arrival at DSU in 2004 "I could not believe Delaware was without a chapter that provided such resources to high school and college athletes and coaches," Lavan said. "While other organizations reward athletic accomplishment, the NFF promotes and rewards academic achievements, along with its ongoing support of high schools and colleges." The NFF and its chapters award $1 million in scholarships annually to over 3,000 high school and college student-athletes. The NFF's Play It Smart Program promotes academic support and personal development initiatives for at-risk high school football players. The organization s NFL/NFF Coaching Academy utilizes professional football expertise in providing valuable training to youth and high school coaches.

The Rattlers moved as far as the DSU 49 on the first drive, but a sack by Jarrod Wallace helped stall the advance.

CAROLINA STATE 24 DELAWARE STATE 3 OCTOBER 29, 2005 Second half surge leads Bulldogs past Hornets Delaware State s long shot hopes for a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship officially died with the loss. After a scoreless first half, South Carolina State drew first blood when a big pass play on the opening drive of the third quarter led to the game s first score. Two plays after a 56-yard pass from Cleveland McCoy to DeShawn Baker put the ball at the Delaware State 16, Troy McFadden scored on an eight-yard run to put the Bulldogs ahead. South Carolina State opened up a 10-0 lead when Stephen Graham nailed a season-best 47-yard field goal with 5:33 left in the second quarter. An interception by Delaware State s Sam Smith in South Carolina State territory led to the Hornets only score. The Hornets began the drive at the Bulldog 11, but had to settle for a 28-yard field goal by Peter Gaertner with 1:45 left in the third quarter. After South Carolina State was forced to punt on its next possession, a 21-yard return by Deon Rheubottom gave the Hornets the ball at their 37-yard line. Delaware State needed six plays to reach the SC State 33, but a sack of Delaware State quarterback Vashon Winton by Marshall McFadden resulted in a fumble that was returned by teammate Terrance Bennett for a 59 yard touchdown to give the Bulldogs a 17-3 lead with 12:51 left to play. Delaware State ran 13 plays to the South Carolina State 30 on its next possession, but Winton was sacked on a fourth-and-15 play to end the drive. The Bulldogs scored an insurance touchdown when McCoy connected with Rondriekas Darby on a 21-yard touchdown pass with 4:32 left to play T DSU SCSU rd Qtr.

The Hornets scored first on a one-yard run by Henderson with 10:44 left in the first quarter, two plays after a punt block by Omonigho Imeokparia gave DSU the ball at the Norfolk State 1. The Hornets stretched their lead to 14-0 when Vashon Winton connected with Freddie Middlebrooks on a 36-yard scoring pass with 27 second left in the opening quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Delaware State's Peter Gaertner recovered his own onsides kick at the Hornets' 47. After a 10-yard holding call on Delaware State, Roy scampered 63 yards to the endzone to give the Hornets a 21-0 lead. Norfolk State reached the Delaware State two during a 12-play, 38-yard drive but had to settle for an 18-yard field goal by Antonio Gomez to cut the Hornets lead to 21-3 with 7:44 left in the second quarter. Delaware State answered on its next possession when Winton and Shaheer McBride hooked up on a 33-yard scoring pass to cap off an eight-play, 68-yard drive to make it 28-3 with 3:26 left in the first half. The Hornets opened up a 31-3 lead on a 25-yard field goal by Gaertner with 3:06 left in the third quarter. Norfolk State made things interesting after a nineyard touchdown pass from Brandon Brooks to Robbie Delgardo in the third quarter, and a 10-yard scoring run by Monte' Anthony cut Delaware State's lead to early in the fourth quarter. After Delaware State failed to move the ball on its next possession, the Spartans could not capitalize thanks to two sacks by the Hornet defense.

67 2005 Season in Review GAME 11 DELAWARE STATE 23 HOWARD 7 NOVEMBER 19, 2005 Defense leads Hornets past Howard in finale Delaware State held Howard to just 40 yards of total offense in the win. Delaware State recorded six quarterback sacks, resulting in a loss to 38 yards. The sacks contributed to Howard s total of 12 rushing yards in the contest. The Bison tallied just 28 passing yards. Howard quarterbacks Ronald Venters and Darrell Turner combined to complete three of 15 passes. Venters was also intercepted three times. A punt block by Delaware State s Omonigho Imeokparia led to the first score of the game. The Hornets recovered the ball at the Howard five, but had to settle for a 22-yard field goal by Peter Gaertner with 12:04 left in the first quarter. The field goal was Gaertner s 14th of the season, setting a new school record. A 26-yard punt by Howard s Noam Dror gave Delaware State the ball at the Bison 32 in the second quarter. The Hornets failed to get a first down, and settled for a 32-yard field goal by Gaertner to take a 6-0 lead with 1:30 left in the second quarter. Each team failed to move the ball on its next possession. Delaware State was forced to punt but the kick by Erik Contos was blocked by Howard s Lawrence Hellams and recovered by teammate Geoffrey Pope, who returned it 20 yards for a touchdown as the second quarter clocked expired. The extra point kick gave Howard a 7-6 lead at intermission. Delaware State regained the lead on the opening drive of the second half. Quarterback Vashon Winton capped off a nine-play, 66-yard drive with a one-yard keeper to give the Hornets a 13-7 lead.

86 This is Delaware State Now in its 115th year, Delaware State University has eagerly moved into the new millennium by embracing today s new technology. While acknowledging its past, DSU looks to the future by forming partnerships with other universities to combine resources for "long distance learning" by way of the internet and the World Wide Web. Along with tapping into the limitless possibilities of the internet, upgrading the campus facilities and appearance has also been a huge priority. The MBNA America School of Management Building constructed in the late 1990s is being hailed as one of the finest facilities of its kind in the region. The state-of-the-art facility is already a popular site for government and business gatherings in the state. Also in the past 10 years, the DSU skyline changed dramatically with the addition of a new dormitory (Warren and Franklin Hall) and a state-of-the-art science building (The Luna I. Mishoe Science Center), a University Courtyard Apartment Complex, a College of Agriculture Annex Building, and earlier this year the completion of the new administration building. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors enjoy DSU s esthetically pleasing pedestrian campus. The mall areas between the Mishoe Science Center and the Jason Library, and Grossley Hall and Memorial Hall are intended to promote the academic and cultural environment of the university. The construction projects and wiring for internet access prove that DSU is committed to its philosophy of academic excellence and intellectual competence. Freedom of expression and inquiry, the exchange of ideas, cultural activities, intensive classroom instruction, and numerous informal events of the university community combine to ensure that each student receives a thorough and marketable education. Delaware State University beginnings date back to 1891, when the 58th General Assembly of the State of Delaware passed "An Act to Establish and Maintain a College for the Education of Colored Students in Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts" by virtue of the Second Morrill Act of Congress approved Aug. 30, The University began enrolling students in early 1892 and offered courses of study in agriculture, chemical, classical, engineering, and scientific. Delaware State University has since developed into a 400-acre complex and has undergone two name changes since its inception. The name was changed to Delaware State College in 1947 and Delaware State University in Students at DSU have a choice of 67 undergraduate majors and 19 graduate degrees, and in the last two years the University has established its first two doctoral programs in Education Leadership, as also in Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. More than 80 percent of the 84

87 This is Delaware State faculty holds doctoral degrees and the student/professor ratio is a low 20:1. In May 2006, Delaware State graduated its largest class in history, as more than 515 students received undergraduate and graduate degrees. In recent years, the University has welcomed such prominent citizens as Bill Cosby, Johnny Cochran, Dr. Dorothy Height, Pamela Thomas-Graham, Earl Graves Sr., and John Negroponte as commencement speakers. With the arrival of DSU President Allen L. Sessoms in 2003, research has become a high priority. The institution has parlayed successful grant writing efforts into the significant improvements in its research infrastructure and project opportunities. The university currently has research projects in the disciplines of the biotechnology, chemistry, mathematics, natural resources, social work, applied optics, and other areas. Over the last three years, the university has also significantly increased its reach around the world through a number of international agreements abroad. As of the summer of 2006, the University has 23 formal agreements with institutions in countries such as China, Cuba, Egypt, Mexico, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, and others. The agreements facilitate student/faculty exchanges, research collaborations, and joint conferences. DSU offers 18 intercollegiate athletics programs at the NCAA Division I level: football, volleyball, bowling, men s and women s cross country, wrestling, men s and women s indoor and outdoor track and field, men s and women s basketball, softball, baseball, men s and women s tennis, soccer, as well as its newest sport program women s equestrian. In 1971, the university became a charter member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, which has automatic bids to the NCAA Division I-AA football tournament and the Division I men s and women s basketball tournaments. Delaware State captured the MEAC s All-Sports Award for men in 1985, 86, and 90, and for women in The Hornet Men s Basketball Team won the 2005 MEAC Tournament, which earned its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Hornet Men followed that up by winning the 2006 regular season and set a DSU men s record by winning 21 games. They later won its first-ever post season game by beating Western Arizona University in the opening round of the National Invitational Tournament DSU recently underwent a year-long process for certification by the NCAA, and in August 2000 was certified "without conditions." All 307 NCAA Division I members will undergo this process within five years. 85
