DU found a familiar face to fill one spot, the other is up for grabs. Jerry Schmitt, who spent the last five seasons as head coach at Westminster College, returned to DU to take the head coaching reins. Schmitt is no stranger to Duquesne football, having served as an assistant for 11 seasons (1985- 87 and 1992-99) prior to taking the Westminster job. The Pittsburgh native was the Dukes’ offensive coordi- nator for his last seven years and was part of DU’s first three MAAC Championship teams. Finding a replacement for Loebig, who finished his career as just the fifth player in I-AA history with over 10,000 yards passing (10,254) and 100 touchdown passes (103), is Schmitt’s top priority. Candidates for the job Antoine Bullock (#56), Josh Antinopoulos (#51) and Ryan Esdale (#44) are three of nine entering the fall include junior redshirt Ben Palumbo (6-2, returning starters from a unit that finished last season ranked #14 in NCAA Division I-AA in 210), and redshirt freshmen Scott Knapp (6-3, 230) and total defense.
