5 Season Outlook Northern Colorado Aims for Bigger Skies in 2005 Football Season Bears will attempt to win the Great West Conference title in its final season in the league The University of Northern Colorado football team looks forward to bouncing back this season after a tough schedule and a rare losing streak in The Bears finished 2-9 and it marked only the second time the squad has finished below.500 since the 1987 season. In fact the Bears have posted a mark of (.691 winning percentage) since The 2005 season marks the final year for the Bears in the Great West Football Conference. Northern Colorado has been accepted into the Big Sky Conference and will officially join the new league July 1, The Bears hope to make this final run in the Great West Conference a memorable one. Looking back to 2004, the Bears played what many I-AA observers called the toughest schedule in all of I-AA football. Northern Colorado s opponents tallied an overall record of (.641) and nine of the Bears 11 opponents had winning records. The Bears will still have a difficult schedule this season, but not to the level of the 2004 docket. I think we overscheduled in 2004, O. Kay Dalton said. You have to remember that we are still in the reclassification process, but any team that would have played our schedule last season would have had a tough time with it. This year s schedule gives us a much better chance to be competitive as we still build more and more scholarships into the program. After playing the 2004 season with only 42 scholarships, Northern Colorado will have 50 scholarships in 2005, and set goals of 57 in 2006 and the full complement of 63 scholarships in When you are playing teams that are at or near 63 scholarships it s a tough task to ask for us Senior cornerback Greg Gebhardt is one of five returning starters on the defensive side of the ball. to compete at the same level, Dalton said. I ve got to give our guys credit because they did not give up and fought as hard as they could but it just didn t show up in the win column. Dalton is entering his sixth season at the helm of the Bears program and is very happy to be here. I ve coached a lot of places around this continent, and right here in the state of Colorado, Dalton said. But I have always said there is no better place to coach than the University of Northern Colorado. This is where I want to be and I know that our staff and our players will do everything we can to put the program in the best spot it can be when this transition is complete and we are officially in the Big Sky Conference. DEFENSE Defense has always been a bright spot in the Bears program and this year should be no different for defensive coordinator Jed Stugart. The Bears have five starters returning from 2004 and none will be looked to more than senior Reed Doughty. Doughty will be in contention for the Buck Buchanan Award, given to the nation s best I-AA defensive player. Defensive Line With the graduation of three of last season s four starters, the Bears will have a few new faces on the defensive line in Jacob Carlson (6-3, 290, Jr.) will be the lone returning starter at defensive tackle. Having notched 29 total tackles last season to go along with 2.5 quarterback sacks, Carlson also led the team with three blocked kicks. Marche Moore (6-5, 310, So.) transitions to the defensive line after playing offense in Moore and transfer Shawn Sopoaga (6-2, 275, Jr.) will fight it out for time as a defensive tackle reserve. At nose guard, Vinny Pallone (6-0, 290, So.) and Ben Sibert (6-4, 266, So.) will battle it out for the starting slot. Pallone missed last season with a foot injury but should be 100 percent this year. Sibert is moving from the offensive line where he saw action in eight contests. The defensive end position has produced stars (Anthony Dunn and Paul Hubbard) in years past and this year should be no different with the emergence of some young talent. Joe Douglas (6-4, 251, R-Fr.) looks to emerge as a starter on one side, with Kurt Hout (6-2, 245, So.) rushing the passer from the weak side. Mark Unrein (6-2, 215, So.), Matt West (6-4, 220, Jr.) and Cristian Sarmento (6-1, 228, R-Fr.) will push the starters for time and could see plenty of action as the year progresses. Linebackers Thomas Smith (6-0, 230, Sr.) will anchor the Bears linebacking corps this year. Smith ranked third on the squad in total tackles in 2004 with 95 Senior free safety Reed Doughty will serve as defensive captain. and that number could soar this season. He notched 11.5 tackles-for-loss and four sacks as he wreaked havoc on ball carriers. Joining Smith on the starting front will be Sam Lewis (6-0, 231, So.) and Joe Kenney (6-1, 203, R- Fr.). Lewis saw plenty of action in a reserve role last year as he tallied 10 total tackles and two tackles-for-loss. Looking to challenge the starters and potentially even jump into a starting spot are Jeff Vaden (6-0, 180, So.), Dylan Moss (5-10, 240, R-Fr.) and transfer Casey Herron (6-2, 225, R-Fr.). Vaden secured eight tackles last season while Moss redshirted; Herron redshirted at Boise State. We have had a long line of tremendous linebackers at Northern Colorado and this year should be no different with the athletic ability we possess, said defensive coordinator Jed Stugart. Defensive Backs Leading the way on the defensive side of the ball this season will be Doughty (6-1, 208, Sr.). Having notched 116 total tackles, Doughty was only one stop away in 2004 from leading the team in tackles for three straight seasons. Doughty also tallied a team-high six interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Having a player like Reed Doughty on the field is a lifesaver for a coach, Stugart said. He just has an extra sense of where the ball is going. He just flies to the ball and makes plays. Backing up Doughty at the free safety spot will be Matt Thomas (6-0, 200, Jr.). Thomas came to UNC as a quarterback but has made the transition to defense and will certainly see plenty of time in nickel and dime situations. The strong safety position will be a battle between Jason Hildenbrand (5-11, 208, Jr.) and D.J. Craft (6-0, 220, So.). Hildenbrand missed the 2004 season after undergoing shoulder surgery, while Craft made the most of his spot as a reserve defensive back to tally seven total tackles. Greg Gebhardt (6-1, 180, Sr.) will provide more senior leadership at one of the cornerback slots. Gebhardt recorded 38 tackles and picked off two passes last season. Aaron Boom Boom Henderson (5-9, 185, So.) will look to make more big plays this season at the other cornerback slot.

6 2005 Season Outlook Senior left guard Shaun Farner is one of nine returning starters on the offensive side of the ball. Henderson notched 31 tackles, scooped up three fumbles, intercepted three passes and scored a touchdown as a redshirt freshman. Sirwestly Williams (6-0, 192, Jr.) and Eric Brown (5-10, 170, R-Fr.) look to back up both starting corners. OFFENSE With the departure of Vincent Jackson, the Bears will have to replace one of the finest offensive players in the school s history. But even so, Dalton believes the Bears will be much more consistent on offense this season with a more experienced offensive line. Offensive Line In 2004, the Bears offensive line lacked consistency. Dalton knew the squad must shore up the line if offense was going to be able to move the ball and score points this season. We did not have the experience on the line in 2004 to give us a chance to move the ball up and down the field, Dalton said. Depth has always been an issue on our offensive line, but we knew moving up to I-AA that we had to develop more and more depth on the line. We have added the necessary depth through the recruitment of incoming freshman and the addition of three transfers. The Bears return four starters from last season in left guard Shaun Farner (6-4, 271, Sr.), center Matt Sens (6-4, 285, Jr.), right guard Jake Gable (6-3, 293, So.) and right tackle Bret Garegnani (6-5, 319, Jr.). John Pryor (6-4, 301, Jr.), a transfer from Arizona Western Junior College is expected to be the starter at left tackle. Two other transfers, Mitch Walker (6-5, 325, So.) and Robert Baker (6-3, 305, Jr.), will begin fall camp as backups on the right side of the line and could push both Gable and Garegnani for starting spots as the season moves along. Abe Medeiros (6-4, 280, R-Fr.) will back up Sens at center, while Bradley Forbush (6-2, 284, Sr.) will work as a reserve behind Farner at left guard. Brian Boyes (6-5, 255, So.) and Gordon Stant (6-4, 264, R-Fr.) will likely battle for the backup left tackle spot behind Pryor. Tight Ends The Bears will have plenty of experience at the tight end slot with Paul Sweitzer (6-3, 230, Sr.) and Jens Lundeen (6-3, 235, Jr.). Sweitzer nabbed 18 catches for 193 yards after starting all 11 games last season. Lundeen also saw action in all 11 games last season and tallied six catches for 86 yards. Ryan Chesla (6-5, 220, R-Fr.) and Clint Wright (6-5, 250, So.) could also see action in Quarterbacks At press time, Dalton said he is unsettled at the quarterback position as the Bears prepare for the 2005 season. Two-year starter Tony Christensen (6-2, 218, Sr.) is working through some eligibility issues and his starting position is less-than secure. Christensen passed for a team-high 1,874 yards and eight touchdowns as junior, but was being pushed at the end of the season by Nick Hager (6-0, 180, Sr.). Hager led the Bears to an impressive 42-7 win over Southern Utah where he passed for 202 yards and three touchdowns. Hager also rushed for a score in the win over the Thunderbirds. Hager passed for 590 yards and five touchdowns in a reserve role in Dalton indicated he would likely use one of his redshirt freshman as backup to one of the two senior quarterbacks. Cody Stone (6-0, 194, R-Fr.) used the 2004 season to redshirt and learn the offense. The Bears also added transfer T.J. Swanson (6-3, 220, R-Fr.) from Mississippi State in January. Swanson was able to take part in the spring drills and will battle with Stone for the backup signal-caller slot. I don t want to get into the 2006 season and have to put in a quarterback who has never seen the field, Dalton said. Tony or Nick will be the starter and then I will go either to Cody or T.J. as the backup. Running Backs This is another position where the Bears are simply stacked with a talented corps of players. Andre Wilson (6-1, 190, Jr.) was a first-team All- Great West pick after leading the conference in rushing yards per game (99.0) as a sophomore. Wilson rushed for 990 yards, ranked as the ninthhighest single-season total in the Bears history. Wilson did miss one game last season with an injury and Jahir Waterman (5-9, 201, Jr.) was able to step right into the starting lineup and give a standout performance. Waterman made the most 5 of his first collegiate start against Sam Houston State and tallied 135 yards and a touchdown. Waterman rushed for 266 yards and two touchdowns despite only getting 65 carries last season. Bears fans will also get their first chance to see the electric running of Patrick Ealy (5-8, 181, R- Fr.). Ealy rushed for nearly 1,800 yards and scored 32 touchdowns as a high school senior in 2003 at Denver South. Ealy will also see time as a punt and kick returner as the coaching staff attempts to get the ball in his hands any way possible. Fullbacks The Bears will have three players battling it out for playing time at the fullback spot. Kacie Wolfe (5-11, 205, So.), Trenton Dietz (6-3, 245, Jr.) and Garrett Bliss (6-1, 230, R-Fr.) will all see action this season. Dietz started a majority of the games last year and had eight carries for 18 total yards. Wolfe saw limited action with only two carries and Bliss transferred to UNC after redshirting the 2004 season at the University of Wyoming. Wide Receivers The biggest shoes to fill come at the wide receiver slot where Jackson, who has gone on to catch passes for the San Diego Chargers, torched I-AA competition the past two seasons. An interesting stat going into the season: none of the Bears receivers on this year s roster has caught a touchdown pass in a Northern Colorado uniform. Cory Sleeth (6-1, 195, So.) is the top returning receiver with 15 total catches for 172 yards. Zac Carlson (6-0, 183, Jr.) caught 11 passes for 49 yards and is expected to battle for one of the starting receiver slots. Andy Birkel (6-2, 180, Jr.) is joining the squad after spending two seasons at the University of Nebraska. Birkel was named the high school athlete of the year in the state of Nebraska as a high school senior and will certainly find his way onto the field this season. Bryant Jestes (6-1, 185, R-Fr.) redshirted last season and will look to join the ranks of the top receivers for the Bears this year. The Bears will also look to Ian Klinkel (6-2, 185, R-Fr.), Mike Mullen (5-9, 181, R-Fr.), Beau Miller (6-1, 180, Fr.), C.J. Stemo (5-11, 195, Fr.) and Sam McCurdy (5-10, 173, Fr.) to serve as reserves in the receiving corps. SPECIAL TEAMS The Bears will be solid in the place-kicking area but will be searching for a punter to replace four-year starter Chad Harter. Placekicker Justin Zaitz (6-3, 200, Sr.) will look to build on last season which saw him earn first-team All-Great West honors. Zaitz scored 58 points on 19-of-19 extra points and 13-of-21 field goals. Zaitz 58 points ranked second on the team in scoring behind Jackson s 66 points. The Bears added placekicker Michael York (6-2, 180, Fr.) from Greeley West High School to serve as a backup behind Zaitz this season. Hager will serve as the holder during placekicking opportunities. Rafael Mendoza (6-1, 175, So.) will look to take over the punting duties. Mendoza joined the squad two seasons ago as a backup placekicker and has decided to make the move to punter. In the return game, the Bears will call upon Aaron Henderson and Patrick Ealy to take care of the majority of work. Henderson led the team last season with 358 kick return yards.

41 40 Great West FB Conference Great West Football Conference Enters Second Season The Great West Football Conference is entering its second season in Cal Poly captured the league s first team championship by tallying a 4-1 record in The league is made up of six intercollegiate institutions that have ranging geographically from North Dakota to Utah to California, have announced the formation of the Great West Football Conference. Charter members of the Great West Football Conference are California Polytechnic State University; University of California, Davis; North Dakota State University; University of Northern Colorado; South Dakota State University; and Southern Utah University. Conference competition began on Sept. 4, 2004 with UC Davis scoring a 52-0 win over South Dakota State and Northern Colorado notching a win over North Dakota State. Each of the member institutions are scheduled to compete against each other again in Great West members Cal Poly and Southern Utah remain at-large candidates for NCAA I-AA post-season playoff consideration. UC Davis and Northern Colorado will become eligible for at-large consideration in 2007, while South Dakota State and North Dakota State become candidates in The conference has recently submitted its application for formal recognition to the NCAA. The Great West Football Conference recognizes student-athletes on both a weekly and full-season basis. Individual awards will include Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week; All-Conference teams; an Academic All- Conference team; and Player, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards. The league also crowns a team champion following the conclusion of conference competition. The governance of the Great West Football Conference remains primarily with the member institutions. Each member institution is represented on the President s Council by its respective CEO. Dr. Steven Bennion (Southern Utah) will serve as the initial Chair with Dr. Warren Baker of Cal Poly as Vice Chair. The general operations and management of the Conference will be conducted by the Directors of Athletics (Director s Council). Three Athletic Directors will comprise the Executive Committee and be responsible for the overall administrative functions of the Conference. The initial Great West Executive Committee includes Tom Douple (Southern Utah) as Chair, Alison Cone (Cal Poly) as Vice- Chair and Greg Warczeka (UC Davis) as Treasurer. Jay S. Hinrichs (Northern Colorado) will chair the External Relations Committee and Gene Taylor (North Dakota State) will chair the Coaches Committee. Scheduling of contests, assignment of officials and certain media relations functions will remain with member institutions. Providing these student-athletes with the opportunity to compete for a conference championship makes all of this effort so worthwhile, Douple noted. I am certain that all the coaches will also use the opportunity to compete for a conference championship to motivate their players and to attract recruits. This is great for all of the athletes, coaches and institutions involved, as well as each university s entire community. League members have earned impressive GPI ratings over the past few seasons, including a No. 14 by Northern Colorado and No. 19 by Cal Poly in In the national I-AA Top 25 poll, Cal Poly reached No. 14 while Northern Colorado achieved a No. 19 ranking. In 2004, Cal Poly was ranked No. 14, while North Dakota State rose as high as No. 18 in the final poll. The six member schools are spread out of over five Western states and three time zones, giving each school added exposure both in terms of media and recruiting in new destinations. The conference affiliation is also expected to generate much interest within the six schools substantial alumni base, which numbers nearly 400,000 combined.

Going into the 2004 season, the Bears second at the I-AA level, it appeared everything was in great shape. The media picked the Bears to win the inaugural Great West Football Conference championship and the Bears were ranked No. 23 in the Sports Network s Top 25 poll after a win over North Dakota State. Northern Colorado looked to carry the momentum of the league victory over the Bison into a top-25 matchup with No. 17 Maine. However, the Black Bears gave the Bears their worst loss since the 1985 season in a 38-0 win in Orono, Maine. Not all was lost as the Bears prepared to go home to the friendly confines of Nottingham Field, where UNC had won 16 straight home games. The Bears were looking to set their consecutive home winning streak against Idaho State. Senior All-American Vincent Jackson appeared to have sown up the victory with an 85- yard punt return for a touchdown, but the officials ruled that Jackson stepped out of bounds at the Bears 43-yard-line. Idaho State was able to rally and drove 95 yards in 14 plays tying the game at with 25 seconds left to force overtime. Idaho State was able to gain a double-overtime victory and snap the Bears 16-game home winning streak. The road got no easier for the Bears as they headed to Montana to take on the No. 7-ranked Montana Grizzlies. Montana finished the season with a 12-3 record and lost in the national championship game to James Madison, But against the Bears, the Grizzlies did not have an answer for Jackson. The Bears wideout caught a school record 15 passes for 227 yards. Jackson also set a school record with 349 all-purpose yards in the game. Despite Jackson s efforts, the Bears were unable to pull the upset and the Grizzlies tallied a victory. Jackson continued his amazing play the next week as he notched 246 receiving yards and three touchdowns, but the UC Davis Aggies were able to keep the Bears on a downward spiral with a victory. The Bears skid reached five games when Southeastern Louisiana notched a win in a torrential downpour in Hammond, La. Jackson nabbed six catches for 138 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Florida Atlantic proved to be a bad choice as the Bears Homecoming opponent in FAU snapped the Bears 13-game Homecoming winning streak with a triumph. In the loss, Jackson caught 10 passes for 228 yards and two more touchdowns. National semifinalist Sam Houston State extended the Bears skid to seven straight losses with a 20-7 victory in Huntsville, Texas. Sam Houston State went from 2-9 in 2003 to 11-3 in 2004 in what was one of the single-greatest season turnarounds in college football history. After a bye week, the Bears finally got on track with a 42-7 whipping of visiting Southern Utah. The Bears ran their conference record to 2-1 with the victory and set up a matchup with Cal Poly the following week for the league championship. However, the Bears could not get going offensively against No. 18-ranked Cal Poly. The Mustangs cruised to a 31-0 shutout victory and the first Great West Conference title. The Bears finished the season with a home contest against South Dakota State. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to play a few tricks on the home crowd and hit Nottingham Field with a snowstorm. SDSU was able to weather the storm better than the Bears and tallied a 14-7 victory to put an end to the Bears long season. NORTHERN COLORADO 15 NORTH DAKOTA STATE 13 SEPTEMBER 4, 2004 GREELEY, COLO. GREELEY, Colo. - The University of Northern Colorado Bears defeated the North Dakota State University Bison at Nottingham Field in the first game of the Great West Football Conference. Defense was the theme of the day as the Bears intercepted the Bison offense five times and recovered a fumble. North Dakota State did some defensive work of their own by pulling down two interceptions, recovering a fumble and denying the Bears offense admittance to the end zone. Leading the defensive effort for the Bears was junior safety Reed Doughty who had two interceptions, a forced fumble and gamehigh 17 tackles. Teammates Thomas Smith, junior linebacker, and Ryan Palmer, senior linebacker, who had 11 and nine tackles respectively, complemented Doughty s effort. Palmer also had one of the Bears five interceptions. Junior place kicker Justin Zaitz came up one kick short of becoming the sole leader for most field goals in a game. Zaitz made five field goals tying a Bears alltime record. It was the Bears inability to reach the end zone that led to Zaitz s record-breaking performance. On paper, the Bison beat the Bears in almost every statistical category but it was the ineffective performance of the Bison senior quarterback Tony Stauss that led to the Bears victory. Stauss tossed five interceptions before finally being replaced by redshirt freshman Steve Walker who mounted a productive comeback charge. Walker came off the bench after trailing 15-0 to lead his team down the field for two touchdowns late in the fourth quarter. Although NDSU failed on a two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game. Walker went 10-for-10 for 112 yards on the afternoon giving his team a chance to win the game with a final field goal attempt with only eight seconds to go. But it was the Bears defense that rose to the challenge again. After a poor snap by the Bison center, the Bears Jacob Carlson was able to get a paw on the field goal attempt causing the miss.

57 in Review MONTANA 27 NORTHERN COLORADO 16 SEPTEMBER 25, 2004 MISSOULA, MONT. MISSOULA, Mont. - No. 7-ranked Montana was able to keep the Bears at arm s length even though the Bears led in almost every statistical category. Big plays and turnovers proved to be the difference in the game as the Grizzlies defeated the Bears in front of the sixth largest crowd in Washington-Grizzly Stadium history (23,220). The Bears offense continued to show improvement led by junior quarterback Tony Christensen. Christensen connected on 26-of- 48 passes for 370 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Jamar Farbes pulled in five receptions for 110-yards with the highlight coming on a 41- yard grab that put the Bears in scoring position inside the five-yard line. Vincent Jackson caught a UNC-record 15 passes for 227 yards. Jackson also set the Bears single-game all-purpose yardage mark with 349 all-purpose yards. Jackson added 84 yards on punt returns and 38 on kick returns. Although the Bears had success moving the ball against the Grizzlies, posting 506 total yards, they still had trouble getting the ball into the end zone settling for three field goals from junior place kicker Justin Zaitz. Sophomore running back Andre Wilson had 135 yards on 27 carries leading all rushers in the game. The Bears most impressive drive took place just before the end of the first half when Christensen began from the Bears own 22-yard line with 1:09 left on the clock. Christensen completed five consecutive passes to Jackson with the final completion resulting in a one-yard touchdown with only 11 seconds remaining in the first half to tie the game at But the Bears were unable to find that consistency through the second half. Montana put together key drives of their own and were finally able to put the game out of reach early in the fourth quarter when the Grizzlies went 80 yards in four plays finishing with a 29-yard touchdown completion from quarterback Jeff Disney to Heidelberger to stretch their lead to GAME STATISTICS Northern Colorado Montana Time: 3:20, Attendance: 23,220 UNC MONTANA First Downs Rushes-Yards Passing (comp.-attempts-int.)

GREELEY, Colo. - After being virtually unbeatable at home, the University of Northern Colorado Bears football team lost their second straight game at Nottingham Field to UC Davis, It was a tale of two halves for the Bears as they allowed the Aggies to score 30 first-half points and then held them scoreless in the second half. The Bears had their opportunities in the game but were neutralized by four turnovers, two coming in the red zone. On the Bears second drive of the second half, junior tailback Andre Wilson fumbled on the Aggies 10-yard line nullifying a scoring opportunity. Late in the fourth quarter, senior WR Jamar Farbes failed to haul in a touchdown pass from junior QB Tony Christensen. Farbes was trying to catch the ball when UC Davis defensive back Dan Reece stole the ball away for an interception. The Bears struggled to find consistency unless they were getting the ball to senior All-American wide receiver and Walter Payton Award candidate Vincent Jackson. Jackson had another record-breaking performance catching nine passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, the Bears defense was commanding in their second-half performance holding the Aggies to only 80 second-half yards and no score. Senior linebacker Ryan Palmer continued his dominating play by leading the Bears with 16 tackles, four of them for losses, and two sacks. Palmer s effort ignited a solid second half by a host of Bear defenders. Junior defensive back Reed Doughty and junior linebacker Thomas Smith each had double-digit tackles as Doughty also recorded his third interception of the season. But it was the Aggies first half dominance that proved to be too much for the Bears to overcome. UC Davis QB Jon Grant went 20-for-33 for 272 yards and three touchdowns. Grant was able to spread the wealth by finding five different receivers for multiple receptions. Aggies senior wide receiver Kevin Freeman led the way with seven receptions for 98 yards.

FLORIDA ATLANTIC 39 NORTHERN COLORADO 24 OCTOBER 16, 2004 GREELEY, COLO. 57 HAMMOND, La. - In a game played in a torrential downpour as tropical storm Matthew bombarded the state of Louisiana, the University of Northern Colorado football team could not solve the Southeastern Louisiana University pass rush and lost its fifth consecutive game of the season, Southeastern Louisiana's outside linebacker Damien Huren tallied six quarterback sacks and the Lions notched nine as a team to help them secure the victory. The Lions (4-2 overall) got on the board early with a little help from Walter Payton Award candidate Martin Hankins. Hankins hooked up on a 19-yard scoring strike to Felton Huggins. The Bears (1-5 overall) answered back in the second quarter with UNC's own Walter Payton Award candidate Vincent Jackson. Jackson came to the rescue with a 30-yard touchdown reception from Tony Christensen. UNC junior defensive back Reed Doughty snuffed out a late second-half drive by the Lions with an interception. The Bears then drove from just beyond mid-field for six plays and 41 yards but had to settle for a 31-yard field goal by junior kicker Justin Zaitz. The Lions retook the lead at early in the third quarter on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Hankins to Hutch Gonzales with 9:47 left. Northern Colorado tied the contest at on a 25-yard field goal by Zaitz with 4:11 remaining in the third quarter. Zaitz put the finishing touches on a six-play 29-yard drive that was set up by the Bears defense. The Lions wasted little time in responding to the Bears' tying score as Hankins hooked up with Josh Taylor on an 80-yard scoring touchdown with 3:52 left in the third quarter. The drive took just two plays and only 19 seconds off the clock. On the Bears' ensuing possession, Christensen scrambled and was stripped of the ball by the Lions' Charles Hall. Huren recovered the fumble at the Bears' 20-yard line. The Bears' defensive unit held strong and forced a 20-yard field goal by Hall. The Lions continued to put points in the board as the fourth quarter got underway.

It was the largest of the season and 10th largest in Nottingham Field history. It was the Bears first Homecoming loss at Nottingham Field. UNC s last Homecoming loss came at Jackson Field on Oct. 13, 1994, when the North Dakota State Bison handed the Bears a defeat. UNC had won 13 straight Homecoming games. Senior wide receiver Vincent Jackson dazzled the crowd again as he tallied a 10- catch, 228-yard performance with two touchdowns. But the Bears had a tough time with FAU in the beginning of the game as they gave up an opening drive field goal. On UNC s first possession, they produced nine yards and had to punt the ball away. The Owls were able to march down the field on the ensuing possession with a 16- yard pass that brought the ball down to the Northern Colorado 49-yard line. FAU s Doug Parker punched the ball in to extend FAU s lead to Another Atlantic field goal and a safety from a bad snap on a UNC punt put the Owls on top, UNC was finally able to roar back at the the Owls when junior quarterback Tony Christensen connected with Jackson from 18 yards out, making the score 15-7 with 6:48 remaining in the second quarter. FAU was able to put another ball through the uprights before the end of the quarter, which broadened the Owls lead to 18-7 at halftime. The Owls were able to glide 46 yards down the field for another touchdown, setting the score at Bears junior kicker Justin Zaitz had a successful field goal attempt, changing the score to But UNC would get no closer the rest of the way.

59 in Review SAM HOUSTON STATE 20 NORTHERN COLORADO 7 OCTOBER 23, 2004 HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS NORTHERN COLORADO 42 SOUTHERN UTAH 7 NOVEMBER 6, 2004 GREELEY, COLO. HUNTSVILLE, Texas The University of Northern Colorado football team went up against the nationally-ranked Sam Houston State Bearkats and came up short, The Bears used a strong ground game from backup running back sophomore Jahir Waterman. Waterman started in place of an injured Andre Wilson. Waterman began the game with a bang as he ripped off a 34-yard run on the Bears first-play from scrimmage. The Bears failed to turn the drive into points as junior Justin Zaitz s 39-yard field attempt sailed wide left. The UNC defense held the Bearkats on their first possession of the game and forced a punt. The Bears then used the running exploits of Waterman to drive 86 yards in just over six minutes. Waterman punched it in from nine yards out for his first touchdown. Sam Houston State put its first points on the board early in the second quarter on a 24-yard field goal by Lance Garner. Garner s three-pointer pulled Sam Houston State to within 7-3 with 12:51 to go in the second quarter. UNC junior quarterback Tony Christensen hooked up on a 51-yard pass with senior wide receiver Vincent Jackson to put the Bears back into scoring position as the Bears went from their own 25-yard line to the Bearkats 24-yard line. Sam Houston State s defense came alive as the Bears entered the red zone and the Bears offense had to settle for a 28-yard field goal attempt from Zaitz. However, Zaitz missed his second straight field goal as this attempt went wide right. UNC came up big on a punt block on SHSU s next possession. The Bears Reed Doughty blocked the punt to give the Bears the ball at the SHSU 16-yard line. UNC moved the ball to the one-yard line with the strong running of Waterman. However, a false start penalty moved the ball back to the five-yard line and two incomplete passes later left the Bears with another short field goal attempt. But Zaitz missed his third field goal of the first half from 23 yards away. SHSU went 80 yards in two plays and scored on a 51-yard pass from Dustin Long to Jason Methenia. The Bearkats then led 10-7 with 3:17 to go in the second quarter. The Bearkats upped their lead to 10 points on a 5-yard scoring strike from Long to Robert Garmon to give Sam Houston State a 17-7 lead going into halftime.

Jackson continued to rewrite the Northern Colorado record books as he extended his career lead in receiving touchdowns to 36. In addition to that, Jackson extended his UNC career receiving yards lead to 3,369. The total offensive yards were virtually even, with the Bears out-gaining Southern Utah , but it was the miraculous improvement of UNC s defense that controlled the game. After giving up an average of 30 points for the season, the Bears clamped down on SUU s ground game, holding them to just 90 yards. The running attack had been a staple of the Thunderbirds offense this season, particularly the scrambling of their quarterback Casey Rehrer. Reher, SUU s leading rusher this season, was contained to just 37 yards rushing. Since UNC was able to take away the running ability of Southern Utah, the Thunderbirds were forced to pass, which was exactly what the Bears wanted. The UNC defense forced three interceptions and recovered two fumbles, which amounted to 21 points by the Bears offense. Junior safety Reed Doughty set the tone for the game when he intercepted SUU s Casey Rehrer and returned it 28 yards to the Thunderbirds 20 on the first drive of the game. On UNC s next defensive series, sophomore defensive tackle Jacob Carlson recovered a fumble by Southern Utah running back Ryan Filipe on the SUU 28. The recovery led to a seven-yard touchdown pass by UNC junior backup quarterback Nick Hager, who started for the injured Tony Christensen. Hager had a career day as he went passing and had 243 all-purpose yards. He accounted for four of the Bears six touchdowns.

UNC was limited to only 59 net yards until their last possession of the game. On that possession, junior quarterback Nick Hager completed three straight passes to senior All- American Vincent Jackson for 50 yards to put the Bears into scoring territory. A Hager to Jamar Farbes pass put Northern Colorado in the red zone and Hager then found Jackson on an 18-yard touchdown pass to cut the SDSU lead to 14-7 with 1:17 left. An onside kick attempt for UNC appeared to be successful as junior Reed Doughty recovered the Justin Zaitz kick. But the officials ruled the ball did not travel 10 yards, and then SDSU ran out the clock. The Jackrabbits rolled up 275 yards of total offense on the afternoon and struck first when Dusty Snyders caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Brad Nelson with 47 seconds left in the first quarter. SDSU went ahead 14-0 on a two-yard touchdown run by Anthony Watson at the 5:20 mark of the second quarter. The Walter Payton Award candidate Jackson, who had only two catches for 13 yards before the final drive, finished the game with six receptions for 81 yards and the touchdown. He ended the season with 80 catches, setting the UNC single-season record. For his magnificent career, he ended up with 177 catches for 3,548 yards, 37 touchdowns and 5,810 all-purpose yards. Hager finished the afternoon for 121 yards in relief of starter Tony Christensen who was 2-8 for 13 yards and was sacked four times due to limited mobility from a lingering injury. SDSU s Watson led all rushers, gaining 93 yards on the ground while Nelson passed for 195 yards on passes. He was picked off twice. SDSU punter Neal Bainbridge punted eight times for 359 total yards (a 44.9 average), including a long of 67 yards. The snowy and cold conditions kept the crowd small for the final home game of the 2004 season. The temperature at kickoff was only 30 degrees.

The Harlon Hill Trophy is given annually to the nation s top Division II player. Created in 1986, the award is named after Harlon Hill who enjoyed standout careers as a wide receiver with Florence State College (now University of North Alabama) and the Chicago Bears. How is the winner selected? The nomination of players for the Harlon Hill Trophy and voting on these players is conducted by the sports information directors at the 152 NCAA Division II schools which compete in football. Four regional advisory committees narrow the field to a maximum of six players per region making 24 candidates. At that point, regional ballots are sent to the sports information directors and the top two players from each region are placed on the national ballot. Of these eight finalists, the top three players are invited to Florence, Alabama for the Harlon Hill Trophy Banquet, where the winner is announced.
