2010 John Carroll University Football 1 2010 PRESEASON PROSPECTUS

The John Carroll football team does not consider itself above the law, but it may be forgiven for trying to break one law in particular. Murphy's Law seemed to curse the Blue Streaks throughout the 2009 season, as whaetver could have gone wrong did go wrong. Five of John Carroll's seven losses were by eight points or less, and were suffered by almost any manner imaginable ("hail mary" pass, goal line stand, tying called back in final minute ... just to name a few). “There was a general sense among those in our program that for all the effort and the dedication put forth that a 3-7 season didn’t seem possible, but the reality is that was our bottom line,” said head coach Regis Scafe. “All those near misses added up on us.” The Blue Streaks have had a penchant in recent years for playing in a number of close games. In fact, over the last three seasons, nearly half of JCU’s games (14 of 30) have been decided by eight points or fewer. The rub, however, has been John Carroll’s 4-10 record in those tightly contested affairs. “That has been a mantra in the offseason about finishing games, about preparing to go the distance and beyond if necessary to win games,” said Scafe. “Our record in close games shows how vital every possession, every play, and every assignment is. The attention to detail and the accountability has to be better for everyone associated with our program.” Bob Schmitz John Carroll is admittedly in unchartered waters, or at the very least unfamiliar ones. For the first time since 1987, the Blue Streaks are coming into a football season where they lost more games than they won the previous year. The last time JCU came off a losing season, they would follow with a winning campaign, and that went on for 22 years. “The thing with streaks is one day they will come to an end,” said head coach Regis Scafe. “For a variety of reasons, that time for us was last year. But we can either wallow in misery or dust ourselves off, stand back up, and start a new streak. The attitude we’ve seen makes us believe the choice has been made to pursue a new streak”

Offense: Many of the key players from last season have moved on through graduation, leaving the Blue Streaks a bit of a mystery heading into 2010. For starters, a situation needs to be resolved. Scafe has a bevy of talented but inexperienced arms to chose from. Devin O’Brien started against Thomas More, while Michael Locke ran the offense on several drives against Muskingum. Outside of those two signal callers, varsity experience is severely limited. Whoever assumes the quarterback’s job will have veterans Mark Elsaesser, DaQuan Grobsmith and Bobby Mangiarelli to hand off to, and veterans Frank Ross, Kyle Hubbard and Josh Rentz to throw to. Eslaesser has shown flashes of brilliance in his JCU career but has been hampered by injuries the last two years. Grobsmith led the team in rushing last seasion with 438 yards and three , and proved an effective pass catcher out of the backfield. Mangiarelli made a name for himself as a kick returner, and in doing so showed his open field running ability. The fullback position is one of strength thanks to the return of senior Teree Harris and juniors Corey Castro and Chris Creel. Ross had a record-setting campaign in 2009, setting single game, single Kyle Hubbard season and career reception marks.

2 2010 John Carroll University Football 2010 PRESEASON PROSPECTUS

Hubbard and Rentz are both big targets who should see their numbers increase now that they will take on more featured roles. Two starting offensive lineman return in Phil Bokovitz and Adam Miller, and one in a platoon situation – Mike Micca – looks to assume a full-time role. Kyle Shrout is also a returning letterwinner on the line. The tight end situation appears in good hands with the return of Bob Schmitz.

Defense and Special Teams The secondary is the strength of the defensive unit with both corners returning in Michael O’Neal and Jon Cooley, plus starting safety Hayes Cooper. Matthew Dee and Chris Ostry C.J. Seitzinger also started games for the Blue Streaks. Adding to the depth are Kyle Fiegel, Kyle Scheerer, and Brian Schneider -- all of whom lettered last year. C. J. Seitzinger is the lone starter at , but Jake Brandt and Emmett Lydon logged extensive time in 2009 and should be prominent parts of the defense in 2010. Other letterwinners who could step up into more playing time are Vince Cavillo, Ethan Jones, Luke Whitworth and Paul Okeyo. Chuck Iheama returns for a final season at defensive end, while Blaine Balderston is the most experienced interior lineman. A healthy Cory Brady will be a big boost to this group, as will the continued development of Mike Cannell. The kicking game is solid with all-conference placekicker Brad Marchese and All-OAC first team and all-region second team punter Karl Roshong back in the fold. The return game is bolstered by the return of both Frank Ross and Bobby Mangiarelli.

Schedule John Carroll opens the 2010 schedule by facing a Jake Brandt (#43) and Emmett Lydon (#46) pair of teams that qualified for the 2009 NCAA Division III playoffs in Case Reserve (Sept. 4, away) and Mount Union (Sept. 18, home). Home dates also loom with Marietta (Sept. 25, Homecoming), Wilmington (Oct. 9), Ohio Northern (Oct. 23, Parents Weekend) and Baldwin-Wallace for the annual Cuyahoga Gold Bowl Game (Nov. 13). As a whole, the ten teams John Carroll will play this year were a combined 62-44 (.585) last season. “Hands down, we play in what I believe is the toughest league in all of Division III,” said Scafe. “So we already have nine tough opponents lined up. Just as we did last year, we open up against a playoff team from the year before. Games like these certainly present a challenge, but if you are a football player and you like to compete, these are the kinds of games you want to play in.” Karl Roshong

REGIS SCAFE Head Coach

Regis Scafe, the 16th head coach in the proud history of John Carroll University football, will begin his 12th season at the helm of the Blue Streaks program. Appointed to the position in December of 1998, Scafe has posted a record of 72-42 over 11 seasons. Since he began his tenure at John Carroll, Scafe has had over 20 players earn All- American accolades, and over 70 have been named to the All- Ohio Athletic Conference teams, including seven (Tom Rini, Matt Payne, Jeff Lerner, Chris Cubero, Victor DeBoer, Doug Phillips. Carlo Melaragno and Michael Nettling) who have been named the OAC Player of the Year at their respective positions. Not only has Scafe maintained the proud tradition at John Carroll, but he has added to it as well. In 2002, the John Carroll football team reached the semifinal round of the NCAA Division III playoffs -- the first time a Blue Streaks team had ever reached a national final four in any sport. Along the way, JCU won a school- record 12 games and captured the East Regional with victories over Hobart, Muhlenberg, and Brockport State. For his efforts, Scafe was named Ohio Athletic Conference Co-Coach of the Year in 2002. Scafe began his coaching career at St. Peter Chanel High School in Bedford, Ohio, where he joined the Chanel staff as assistant football and wrestling coach. Scafe became Chanel’s head football coach, where he stayed for nine years. His most memorable season was in 1982, when the team had an 8-2 record earning him Co-Coach of the Year accolades in the North Coast Conference.

In 1987, Scafe joined the collegiate ranks when he took the position as the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator on the John Carroll staff under Tony DeCarlo. In his seven years with the Blue Streaks, his defense was ranked in the top 20 nationally in total yards and/or points allowed four times. During that stretch of time, Scafe had four All-Americans and 16 first team All-Ohio Athletic Conference defensive players. He also was part of an Ohio Athletic Conference championship and NCAA Division III playoff appearance in 1989. His last coaching assignment prior to his current one for JCU was in Berlin, Germany, at the American Bowl on May 28, 1994. John Carroll defeated the Berlin Bears (a semi-professional team), 27-6, in a game played in what was formerly East Berlin. That 1994 JCU team would go on to win a share of the Ohio Athletic Conference title, the last captured by the Blue Streaks. Scafe went on to become the head coach at Case Western Reserve in 1994. Before his arrival, the football team had only won four games in two seasons. Scafe turned around the Spartans into a .500 club in two of his final three years. His 1998 squad finished the year 5-5 and 1996 squad (5-5 record) was a tri-champion of the University Athletic Association. In return, Scafe and his staff were named UAA Coaching Staff of the Year in 1996. In 16 seasons as a head coach (five at CWRU, 11 at John Carroll), Scafe has compiled a career coaching record of 88-77. Scafe graduated in 1971 with a B.S. degree in health and physical education from Case Western Reserve University, and in 1983, earned a Master’s degree in physical education from State. In addition, he garnered first team All-Presidents Athletic Conference honors as a defensive back for the Spartans as a senior in 1970. In addition to his duties as head football coach at John Carroll, Scafe has served as an advisor to the JCU chapter of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Scafe has also served on national committees, including tenures as an officer with the Coaches Association (AFCA).

2010 John Carroll University Football 47 ABOUT JOHN CARROLL UNIVERSITY

John Carroll is a Catholic and Jesuit University dedicated to developing women and men with the knowledge and character to lead and to serve

John Carroll University, founded in 1886, is a privately controlled, coeducational, Catholic and Jesuit university. It provides liberal arts programs in the arts, sciences, and business at the undergraduate level, and in selected areas at the master’s level. In addition, an Office of Continuing Education offers courses and programs as part of life long learning. The university also offers its facilities and personnel to the Greater Cleveland community and provides a wide variety of special services. As a university, John Carroll is committed to the transmission and extension of the treasury of human knowledge with the autonomy and freedom appropriate to a university. As a Catholic university, it is further committed to seek and synthesize all knowledge, including the wisdom of Christian revelation. In the search for this integration of knowledge, the university community is enriched by scholarship representing the pluralistic society in which we live. All can participate freely in the intellectual, moral, and spiritual dialog necessary to the search. Within this dialog, in which theological and philosophical questions play a crucial role, students have the opportunity to develop, synthesize, and live a value system based on respect for and critical evaluation of fact; on intellectual, moral, and spiritual principles which enable them to cope with new problems; and on the sensitivity and judgment that prepare them to engage in responsible social action. In a Jesuit university, the presence of Jesuits and others who are inspired by the vision of Saint Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus in 1540, is of paramount importance. This vision, which reflects the value system of the Gospels, is expressed in the Spiritual Exercises, the source of Jesuit life and activity. To education, the Jesuit spirit brings a rationality appropriately balanced by human affection, an esteem for the individual as a unique person, training in discerning choice, openness to change, and a quest for God’s greater glory in the use of this world’s goods. Commitment to the values which inspired the Exercises promotes justice by affirming the equal dignity of all persons and seeks balance between reliance on divine assistance and natural capacities. The effort to combine faith and culture takes on different forms at different times in Jesuit colleges and universities. Innovation, experiment, and training for social leadership are essential to the Jesuit tradition. John Carroll University welcomes students and faculty from different religious backgrounds and value systems, in the belief that the educational environment which the university provides is one which these students and faculty may find congenial, rewarding, and enriched by their presence. Within this environment there is concern for the human and spiritual developmental needs of the students, and a deep respect for the freedom and dignity of the human person. A faculty not only professionally qualified, but also student-oriented, considers excellence in interpersonal relationships as well as academic achievement among its primary goals. The university places primary emphasis on instructional excellence. It recognizes the importance of research in teaching as well as in the development of the teacher. In keeping with its mission, the university especially encourages research that assists the various disciplines in offering solutions to the problems of faith in the modern world, social inequities, and human needs. The commitment to excellence at John Carroll University does not imply limiting admissions to the extremely talented student only. Admission is open to all students who desire and have the potential to profit from an education suited to the student’s needs as a person and talents as a member of society. The educational experience at John Carroll University provides opportunities for students to develop as total human persons.

48 2010 John Carroll University Football ABOUT JOHN CARROLL UNIVERSITY aware of the interrelationship of all knowledge and the need for integration and synthesis; able to make a commitment to a tested scale of values and to demonstrate the self discipline necessary to live by those values; alert to learning as a life long process; open to change as they mature; respectful of their own culture and that of others; aware of the interdependence of all humanity; and sensitive to the need for social justice in response to current social pressures and problems. One of 28 colleges and universities operated in the by the Society of Jesus, John Carroll was founded as St. Ignatius College in 1886, and has been in continuous operation as a degree-granting institution since that time. In 1923, the College was renamed John Carroll University, after the first archbishop of the Catholic Church in the United States. In 1935, it was moved from its original location on the west side of Cleveland to its present site in University Heights, a suburb 10 east of downtown Cleveland. In 1968, the University made the transition from full-time male enrollment to a fully coeducational as women were admitted to the College of Arts and Sciences for the first time. Today, John Carroll can boast over 3,500 full-time undergraduate students. Twenty major buildings inhabit the 60-acre campus. Graselli Tower, a landmark on Cleveland’s east side, is part of the administration building. Other buildings include Graselli Library, the Bohannon Science Center, the Thomas P. O’Malley Center for Communication Arts, and the Boler School of Business. The latest addition to campus is the Dolan Center for Science and Technology. Just four years old, the Dolan Center houses the departments of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science, and psychology, and supports initiatives to improve K-12 education and encourage technology start-ups in northeastern Ohio. Athletic facilities begin with the Don Shula Stadium at Wasmer field, home to JCU football, soccer and track & field. In 2001, this outdoor facility began to go under construction to transform it into the Don Shula Stadium, in honor of the John Carroll graduate who is the National Football League’s all-time winningest head coach. The stadium has a new playing surface (AstroPlay brand artificial grass), and features brand new locker room facilities, grand-stands on both home and visitor sides, offices, a memoribilia room, and a press box for both football and baseball. Other athletic facilities include Schweickert Field, home of the JCU baseball team; Bracken Outdoor Athletic Complex, home to the Blue Streak softball and tennis teams; the William H. Johnson Natatorium home of the Blue Streak swimming and diving squads; and the 2,500-seat Tony DeCarlo Varsity Center, home to the JCU basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams. The gymnasium was renovated during the early part of this decade and opened in time for the 2002-2003 winter sports season The gymnasium is part of the the Student Center, which also houses the Ralph Vince Corbo Fitness Center.

2010 John Carroll University Football 49 THE OHIO ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

In all of college athletics, only three conferences are over 100 years old. Only three leagues had the vision and foresight to be organized before the NCAA itself came into existence. The Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) is one of those three. It began in 1902 with the major focus on the welfare of the student-athlete. One hundred years later, that focus has never wavered. And while maintaining the priority that “student” always comes before “athlete,” the OAC charges into its next century on the heels of another banner year athletically. The OAC is predated only by the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1888) and the Big Ten (1895). The Conference is older than the Rose Bowl, the World Series and has survived two world wars, the Great Depression, the Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict. From a modest beginning of six charter members in 1902, the OAC grew to as many as 23 members in the mid-1920s. Through the years a total of 31 colleges and universities at one time or another have been members of the OAC. Currently the Conference consists of 10 members, including Baldwin-Wallace College, , Heidelberg University, John Carroll University, , University of Mount Union, , Ohio Northern University, and Wilmington College. In the OAC’s first year of existence, 1902, the first Conference champion was crowned — Case Tech won the football title with a 5-0-0 record. Outdoor track was added a year later and a third sport, cross country, became a Conference sport in 1914. More sports were steadily added to the OAC’s repertoire throughout the years, culminating with the addition of women’s sports in 1984. The Conference currently sponsors championships in 21 sports, 11 men’s and 10 women’s. The enrollments at the 10 OAC institutions range from 1,100 to 4,500. All of the schools were founded in the 19th century and have long and outstanding academic reputations. While maintaining these high academic standards, Ohio Athletic Conference athletic teams and athletes have consistently enjoyed a great deal of success on a regional and national level. The athletic competition is viewed not as an end in itself, but as an extension of the educational programs.

2010 John Carroll University Football 53 BLUE STREAKS IN THE PROS

John Carroll has extended its reach beyond the borders of collegiate football. The Jesuit University of Cleveland is making a name for itself in the National Football League. Former Blue Streak linebacker London Fletcher continues to make a name for himself in the NFL, beginning his 13th season in the league and his fourth with the Washington Redskins. As the starting middle linebacker for the St. Louis Rams, Fletcher appeared in two Super Bowls. He posted a team-high nine tackles in a thrilling 23-16 victory over the in XXXIV. He also made five tackles in the Rams 20-17 loss to New England in Super Bowl XXXVI. Fletcher was a three-year letterwinner for the Blue Streaks (1995-97). He was a first team All-American selection in 1996 and 1997, as well as Football Gazette’s Division III Linebacker of the Year in 1997. That year, Fletcher set a school record for tackles in a season with 202. When Fletcher took to the field for Super Bowl XXIV, he became the first John Carroll alumnus to play in an NFL champi- onship game in 40 years. The last Blue Streak to do so was Carl Taseff, class of 1951, who played on the Baltimore Colts’ back-to- back NFL Championship teams in 1958 and 1959. Fletcher is part of a distinguished list of Blue Streaks who have performed in regular season pro competition. Graham Armstrong (class of 1941) played for the Cleve- land Rams of the NFL in 1941 and 1945 (NFL champions that year), and the of the AAFC in 1946-47. He played in London Fletcher 36 games over four years, playing a variety of positions including placekicker. He made 23 of his 27 extra points during his four- year pro career. Ed Ecker (class of 1944) began his career with the in 1947, then played for the Chicago Rockets of the AAFC in 1948. After a year off in 1949, Ecker played with the Green Bay Packers in 1950-51 before concluding his career with the Washington Redskins in 1952. Tom Lahey (class of 1941) had a brief stint with the Chicago Rockets of the AAFC in 1946 and 1947, playing end. Burrell Shields (class of 1952) also played two seasons in the NFL as a back, hooking on with the in 1954 and the Baltimore Colts in 1955. Don Shula (class of 1951) had a much bigger impact as a head coach in the NFL, but his career as a player spanned seven seasons. He started with the Cleveland Browns in 1951-52, moved to the Baltimore Colts in 1953- 56, and concluded with Washington in 1957. Gene Stringer (class of 1925) played for the original in 1925. Stringer was listed as playing five positions: halfback, fullback, tackle, quarterback, and end. Carl Taseff (class of 1951) had the most successful career in the pro ranks of any Blue Streak up to this point. Originally a halfback, Taseff made his name as a defensive back. He made 20 interceptions over 11 pro seasons, starting with the Cleveland Browns in 1951. From 1953-61 he played with the powerhouse Baltimore Colts. He

54 2010 John Carroll University Football BLUE STREAKS IN THE PROS wound up his career by playing with the in 1961 and Buffalo of the AFL in 1962. Taseff’s banner season was 1958, when he made seven interceptions for the storied NFL champion Colts. He played and started in the legendary 1958 NFL championship game when the Colts edged the in overtime. In more recent years, quarterbacks from John Carroll have received NFL and CFL attention. Larry Wanke (class of 1992) was a 1991 draft choice for the New York Giants. P.J. Insana (class of 1995) signing a free agent contract with the British Columbia Lions of the in 1995. Tom Arth (class of 2003) spent two seasons wit the Don Shula (left) and Carl Taseff (right) Indianapolis Colts as well as two spring seasons in NFL Europe with teams in Scotland and Germany. He also played one year in the Arena Football League with the Grand Rapids Rampage. John Carroll’s impact in the NFL is not limited to players. Two JCU graduates – Taseff and Gary Stevens – served at one time or another on Shula’s staff with the Dolphins. Another JCU grad, Dick Walker, was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers staff that won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1978 and 1979. He also was part of Woody Hayes’ staff at Ohio State from 1969 to1976, appearing in five Rose Bowls and one Orange Bowl. He was inducted into the JCU Hall of Fame last September. Chuck Priefer, a 1962 graduate of John Carroll, spent four decades as a college and professional coach. He was reknowned as a special teams coach, sending several of his charges to the . Included in his resume are a collegiate championship as a member of Georgia Tech’s staff in 1990, and a Super Bowl XXIX appearance with San Diego Chargers. Nick Caserio and Josh McDaniels, both of whom played for JCU in the late 1990’s, were part of three Super Bowl wins and four Super Bowl appearances with . After spending two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Patriots, McDaniels was named head coach of the on January 11, 2009. Caserio has remained with the Patriots, occupying the top spot in the personnel department as Director of Player Personnel. Three former Blue Streaks were employed by the Super Bowl XLI champion Indianapolis Colts in administrative roles -- (VP of Football Operations), (Di- rector of Player Personnel) and David Caldwell (Western re- gional scout). Polian and Telesco are still with the team, while Caldwell is now a top scout for the organization. Josh McDaniels

2010 John Carroll University Football 55 DON SHULA STADIUM

In a ceremony held on campus on the 16th of June, 2001, John Carroll University announced plans to begin construction on its new football facility, Don Shula Stadium at Wasmer Field. On September 27, 2003, Don Shula Stadium was officially dedicated in front of a capacity crowd in the 5,416-seat state-of-the-art facility. Just as he was in 2001, the stadium’s namesake was on hand for the ceremony, which was held during the halftime of John Carroll’s 28-23 win over Ohio Northern as part of Homecoming weekend at JCU. “Who would ever thought all those years ago that a football stadium would be named after me,” said Shula after he was introduced during the halftime ceremony by Reverend Edward Glynn, S.J., who was President of John Carroll University at the time. Modest words indeed from Shula, who grew up in nearby Painesville, Ohio, and is a 1951 graduate of John Carroll. Shula has often said the mental, physical and spiritual foundation of his John Carroll education were instrumental in helping him become the winningest coach in NFL history. At the time the plans were unveiled for the construction of the future home for JCU football, soccer and track & field, Don Shula shared his feelings toward the project to the assembled crowd. “Needless to say, I am overwhelmed,” said Shula shortly after Father Glynn made the official announcement. “It is such an honor to have a stadium named after me. This is something I will always have a great deal of respect for and pride in.” The project began in earnest in the fall of 2001, as the old Wasmer Field bleachers were torn down on both sides. In time for the 2002 season, the visitors side was con- structed, housing 1,400 spectators. A temporary press box was also put in place to add functionality to the facility. All the while, construction continued on the home side. Locker rooms, five coaches offices, a weight room, a training room and equipment storage areas were built on the ground floor. Access to the home side dugout of Schweickert Field -- the baseball facility -- was also made available. The main concourse, known as “Casey’s Con- course” in honor of long-time team chaplain Rev. Casey Bukala, S.J., houses the Shula Memorabilia Room as well as a fully-functioning concession stand. The finishing touches were the upper levels, where the press box, coaches booths and a filming area were placed on top of the home side. For Shula, this honor is a continuation of the promise a Jesuit education has fulfilled in his life. “When I look back and think about the things that have happened since 1947, the year that I enrolled at John Carroll, and think about how my life has gone in different directions ... to be fortunate enough to have the Jesuit education, graduate in four years, and to have the coaching I had on the field are opportunities I will always be very, very grateful for.” Shula Stadium is utilized by a number of varsity and club teams as well as by the intramural and recreation programs at John Carroll University.
