You would be hard pressed to find two tougher campaigns for a program with such a proud tradition as the last two for Widener’s football team. But 2010 begins a new era, one of historical propor- tion and one that hopefully will send the Pride once again soaring toward the top of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Isaac Collins takes the reigns as the 22nd football coach in school history. Possessing a high desire to win and a strong sense of discipline, Collins will have his work cut out for him but is more than up for the challenge. Arriving after serving the last four years as defensive coordinator at The Citadel, Collins is one of seven minority coaches in Division III. He also is the first African-American coach in the history of Widener football. The defense has been one of the strongest units for the Pride the last few years and this season should be no different. Even with just five starters back, this group has more than what it takes to make some noise. Among the stalwarts in this mix is senior Joe Favinger, who was Joe Favinger tabbed first team All-MAC and second team all-region last year. A smart player who also is a fierce competitor, the second team pre- leluori as well as juniors Chris Cottrell, Brandon Nye and Robert season All-American most likely will shift to the outside in the 4-3 Watkins also will play a big role this season. scheme.

Senior Joe Col- season. His play last year helped Widener close third in the MAC with 114.8 yards rushing allowed per contest. Juniors Keith Wilson and John Philpott are among others chal- lenging for time. The secondary once again looks strong with the return of seniors Kevin Franklin and Fred Ferro at cornerback. Franklin is a four-year starter whose intelligent and solid play helped him close tied for sixth on the team with 42 tackles. Ferro also provides the team strong play that led him to 14 tackles. The Pride will have to replace both of their safeties, but the team is not worried about this. Junior Gary Fish served as the backup last season at free safety, ending with 21 tackles, and senior Wes O’Kula also looks for more time. The offense had its share of hard knocks toward the end of last year, but six starters returning spells a positive outlook with a new plan taking the field. Sophomore quarterback Chris Haupt hopes he can regain his form from the start of last season. Showing tremendous upside when the team won three of its first four games in 2009, Haupt has matured a great deal in the offseason and hopes that translates to the fall.

Juniors Justin Horning and Cedrick Clayton are back at wide receiver. Horning made his presence felt with 207 yards receiving at Curry and closed the year at 536 yards on 37 receptions. Clayton also had an impressive campaign, ending with 16 catches for 163 yards. Senior Rick Ritter also hopes for more playing time after closing with 23 catches for 409 yards, including 81 yards against Delaware Valley. The offensive line took a major hit with four of its five starters receiving their degrees. Senior Harry Rannels is left to shoulder the load at right tackle, looking to once again help an offense which scored at least 22 points five times last year. Others searching for time among the big uglies are senior AJ Winter, junior Ryan Eckenrode and sophomore Gerry Pacitti. Widener’s special teams receives a boost with two key return- ees. Junior Matt Breslin was among the elite kickers. He ended tied for third in the MAC with five field goals, fourth with a .920 extra- point percentage (23-for-25) and fifth with 23 extra points.

32 WIDENER PRIDE 1977, 1981 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
The 1977 season provided more than just the school’s first NCAA cham- pionship in any sport. It left many memorable moments for a team who stuck together throughout the campaign after beginning in less than ideal shape. The offense looked in disarray with just one returning starter. The defense was in a worse predicament after three standouts decided, respectively, to quit, become a state trooper and enter the Marines. Leave it to perennially optimistic coach Bill Manlove (pictured) to turn the tide and create one of the school’s most magical runs. Manlove was not the only one wearing blue and gold in high spirits. After Widener’s season-opening 28-0 victory over Lebanon Valley, All-America running back Chip Zawoiski told Manlove, “I’ll see you in Alabama, Coach” (site of the national championship game). Zawoiski’s prognostication did not look profound after the following week’s loss to Fordham, but little did anyone know that would be the Pioneers’ final setback of the year. The Pioneers (11-1) rolled through the remainder of the regular season and into the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years. A quarterfinal date at Central in Pella, Iowa turned out to be no match. The home team sported the nation’s leading rusher, but Zawoiski stole the show with a then tournament-record 31 carries along with 171 yards in Widener’s 19-0 victory. The semifinal against Albany State was played in the mud at Memorial Stadium, coupled with a brutal wind. The Pioneers squandered an early 12-0 lead, but Steve Warrington’s 52-yard punt return for a touchdown was the catalyst in a 33-15 victory, confirming Zawoiski’s insight and Manlove’s belief in his unit. The Stagg Bowl in Phenix City, AL against Wabash saw Widener fall into a 10-0 hole. But in a contest which featured five lead changes, the Pioneers’ biggest play gave them an insurmountable advantage. The usually cautious Manlove called for quarterback Mark Walter to hit Walker Carter on a bomb, which worked for a 70-yard touchdown pass late in the game and a 39-28 lead. Upon the conclusion of Widener’s 39-36 victory, students who witnessed the nationally televised game on a rented seven-foot screen in Alumni Auditorium poured out of the hall and on to nearby Memorial Stadium in jubilation. The offense that looked skeptical, at first, saw Zawoiski finish the season with 1,576 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, and Walter close with 1,312 yards passing and 15 touchdowns. The defense, minus all the defections, held seven opponents in single figures and yielded just 11.6 points per game.
The 1981 undefeated season was as much about a team celebration than anything else. After all, the senior class could claim at year’s end a 42-3 record over four seasons, four conference championships, three NCAA Tournament appearances and a national championship. But it was one player who stood out. Tom Deery (pictured), a three-time All-American and one of two Pioneers in the College Football Hall of Fame, not only was the spark plug on defense and special teams a fourth straight season, but again provided the big moments when needed. Unlike the 1980 season when the Pioneers cruised to most of their victories, the ’81 campaign was a scratch-and-claw effort that saw the team defeat some game opponents and prepare them for bigger tests. The first big test was the last game of the regular season at Swarthmore with the MAC Southern Division title and an NCAA berth at stake. The Garnet fans were seeking a huge upset on their home turf, but the Pioneers’ defense came through by allowing just 53 yards rushing in a 16-6 victory. The national quarterfinals the following week at West Georgia this time provided an op- portunity for the pass defense to shine. Widener surrendered just 89 yards through the air and held on for a 10-3 triumph. Enter Montclair State to Memorial Stadium for the semifinals. Enter Tom Deery. The Indians scored early in the fourth quarter to close within 14-12. Deery made sure it would once again be a two-possession game. Breaking a school record that stood since 1926, Deery returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and a 21-12 game. The 23-12 victory once again had the Pioneers packing their bags for Phenix City. This time, the final opponent would be one a little more familiar. Dayton not only was the defending national champion, but it had rallied from a 24-point deficit the year before for a stunning 28-24 semifinal victory over Widener in Chester. Just like 1977, the Pioneers found themselves in a 10-0 quagmire in the Stagg Bowl. They found a way again and this time, it would be Deery to the rescue. Deery came through by returning a punt 76 yards for a touchdown and a 10-7 deficit. Tony Britton gave Widener the lead for good on a 20-yard touchdown run and Mark Stephan added a 23-yard field goal for a 17-10 victory, capping a 13-0 season. Deery ended the campaign with 11 interceptions along with 833 return yards.

The capstone of the Widener athletic facilities is Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium, which was unveiled for the 1994 football season. Located in the wooded hollow that has grown from a 19th century quarry, the stadium is adjacent to the Schwartz Athletic Center complex. Dedicated on October 15, 1994, the stadium is named for alum and former University Chairman of the Board Leslie C. Quick Jr., ‘50. During his undergraduate years, Mr. Quick served as manager of the football and basketball teams for three years under Woody Ludwig. Quick Stadium towers over a new turf field (installed in 2005) designed with the flexibility in size to accommodate football, soccer, men’s lacrosse and track & field. Encircling the turf is an eight-lane, synthetic-surfaced, championship track, known as the George A. Hansell Jr. Track. The track, dedicated in 1984, is named for the former athletic director and coach. The mezzanine sports a Wall of Recognition, which features the dedication plaque and the names of over 400 alumni, faculty and friends so recognized for contributions to the stadium construction fundraising campaign. Of historical significance, the Wall of Recog- nition features three medallions removed from Memorial Stadium reading: “Pennsylvania Military Above: circa 2008 College, 1926,” “Sound Mind in Sound Body” and Right: circa 1985 “Dedicated to Youth.” Memorial Stadium, located behind Old Main, was the site of the University’s home football games for nearly 70 years. Widener fans, coaches and student- athletes share an enormous sense of pride in Quick Stadium, which provides one of the finest NCAA Division III facilities for players, press and specta- tors in the United States. records Rushing Individual Team Year-by-Year at Quick Attempts 36 Leon Payne, Widener, 10/17/98 60 King’s, 11/1/97 1994.... 5-0 2000.... 6-1 2006.... 3-3 Yards 232 Leon Payne, Widener, 10/17/98 356 Widener, 11/24/01 1995.... 5-0 2001.... 7-0 2007.... 4-1 Touchdowns 3 George Jones, Widener, 9/17/94 6 Widener, 10/15/94; 1996.... 3-2 2002.... 5-0 2008.... 2-2 3 Leon Payne, Widener, 9/26/98 9/30/95; 1997.... 4-1 2003.... 2-3 2009.... 1-4 3 Michael Gandy, Widener, 10/12/02 11/03/01 1998.... 3-3 2004.... 3-2 3 Taylor Ramos, Del.
