10 UTROCKETS.COM UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS ROCKETS IN THE COMMUNITY Coach Candle and his staff believe it is important for young men to give something back to their community. That’s why members of the football team go into the Toledo community and volunteer their time. Here are some of the volunteer projects in which the Rockets have participated in recent years:

• Toledo Children’s Hospital • Toledo Girls and Boys Club • Ronald McDonald House • Glass City Marathon Kids Run • “Victory Day” at the Glass Bowl • Boca Raton Bowl hospital • Lincoln Academy After School Program • Trilby Elementary School • Red Cross bowling fundraiser • Children’s day care visits • “Feed My Starving Children” international food program • Fellowship of Christian Athletes • Bennett Venture Academy • Sherman Elementary “Walk to School Day” • “Toledo Crash” Wheelchair football • Kroger “Sacks for Cash” • “Give a Kid a Smile Day” at the UT Medical Center

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 11 VICTORY DAY

Since 2014, the Rockets have hosted their annual “Victory Day” for cognitively and physically impaired students from Toledo area schools. Students meet UT football players, run drills and hear their names announced over the public ad- dress system as they score a . Victory Day is an opportunity for special needs students to have their “moment in the sun” on the football field. Each student was partnered with a UT football player who served as his or her mentor for the day. Victory Day athletes wear Rocket team jerseys and are presented with medals at the end of the day to commemorate their victory. Toledo football players, cheerleaders, Rocky the Rocket and marching band members are on hand to cheer on the participants. “This is what it’s all about--a chance to give back and be a part of something bigger than us,” said UT head coach Jason Candle. “It’s just a tremendous day for our guys and for the kids. Sometimes I think our guys get more out of this than the kids do.” Victory Day was started in 2010 by Aaron Segedi, a teacher and football coach from Trenton, Mich., a cancer survivor whose life was saved thanks to a liver donation from his sister, Rhonda. Since then, the Victory Day program has been adopted by high schools and universities in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

Incoming student-athletes learn quickly that academics are a major priority at the University of Toledo. Head Coach Jason Candle and his staff demand maximum effort from all the young men in their pro- gram. Football players are required to sit in the first two rows of all their classes, and must introduce themselves to all their instructors within the first two weeks of the semester. Missing class or being late for class is not tolerated. Volunteer “encouragers” are on call to monitor compliance to all academic rules of the football program.

“Best Football Stadium in the MAC.” - The Bleacher Report, June 2016

The Glass Bowl is truly one of America’s great college football stadiums. Originally built in 1937, the Glass Bowl was renovated in 1990. As a result of those changes, the Glass Bowl became a graceful synthesis of modern technology and old-time charm and craftsmanship. Recent improvements to the Glass Bowl include a renovation of the east side of the stadium (2016), new turf (2016) and the addition of the installation of a new videoboard as part of the Larimer Athletic Complex renovation (2014). The Glass Bowl features a three-level press tower that houses 45 private suites, a 300-seat Stadium Club and the Gerber Media Center. The Gerber Media Center can accommodate 80 media members. A television crew provides closed-circuit coverage of every Rocket home game. A five-camera production is fed to videoscreen on the scoreboards and to more than 70 television monitors in the press tower.

Quarterback Logan Woodside shattered nearly every Toledo passing record in the books in 2016. He led the nation with 45 touchdown passes, 16 more than the previous best in Rocket history. He connected on 69.1 percent of his passes for 4,129 yards, an average of more than 317 yards per contest and another school record. He earned first- team All-MAC honors and was named a contender for the Heisman Trophy by the Heisman Trophy Trust. Most importantly, he directed the Rockets to nine wins, pacing an offense that scored at least 31 points in 11 of 13 games. So what could Woodside possibly do for an encore? Candle thinks his senior signal-caller does not need to match his numbers from 2016 to have a successful 2017 campaign. Senior Terry Swanson has rushed for 2,238 yards in his college career. “Logan simply has to continue to be consistent,” said Candle. “He shouldn’t have to feel the pressure of going out and winning every football game by himself. but still rushed for 583 yards and caught 10 passes out of He’s surrounded by a lot of great players and has a lot of the backfield. weapons at his disposal to make our offense successful. “Terry Swanson has been an all-conference performer He broke the school record in total offense last year and for us,” said Candle. “I know if Terry’s development and threw 45 . He doesn’t have to duplicate those growth can take the same leap that Kareem’s did from his numbers to have a great year.

Johnson, who is also on the Biletnikoff Offensive Line Toledo loses three starters from the offensive line but still has five players who either started or saw significant action in 2016, as well as some young players who are also ready to step up. Returning players who started at least six games last year include seniors and Nate Jeppesen, as well as sophomore Bryce Harris. Senior Brant Weiss and junior Yazeed Atariwa have seen plenty of action in their careers as either part-time starters or as reserves. At 6-6, 315 pounds, Nkansah looks to be the lead anchor of the line at the left tackle position. A two-year starter, Nkansah was named to the official Watch List for the 2017 . Jeppesen had eight starts at center and right guard in 2016, Harris had six at center, and Weiss had five at right tackle. Atariwa had one start at right guard and also saw emergency duty on the defensive line. “We’ve got a very solid core of players on the offensive line,” said Candle. “They have all played in meaningful games throughout their careers, which is encouraging. But we’ve Senior left tackle Elijah Nkansah is in his third season as a also got some younger guys who are ready to show what starter on the offensive line. they can do.” Some of those young linemen include sophomores

Linebackers The linebacker position, led by senior Ja’Wuan Woodley, has the most experience on the Rocket defense. Woodley was a third-team All-MAC selection in 2016, racking up 79 tackles and 13.0 tackles for loss. In 2015, he was the Defensive MVP of the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl. “Ja’Wuan Woodley is one of the better line- backers in our conference,” Candle said. “He plays at a different speed than everyone else.

Candle is looking for bigger things from his 300-pound tackle this season. “Marquise understands the daily routine of playing winning football and what we ask our players to do,” said Candle. “He’s a big guy at tackle who needs to take the next step and be a leader. He’s going to be counted on to be an every-down player, not a rotation guy.” Other tackles with playing experience are senior Daniel Davis, and sophomores Nate Childress, Lamarr Davis and Willie Ross. Reggie Howard is a junior-college transfer who will have a chance to be in the rotation. Edrick Matthews and David Hood both will be redshirt freshmen in 2017.

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 31 Q&A WITH COACH CANDLE

Q: What are your expectations for 2017? Q: Expectations are naturally high for quarterback Logan Woodside, who shattered just about every Candle: Each year presents new challenges. Every team team record last year. What does he need to focus is different but there is still one primary goal in mind on this year? ­—win a conference championship. A lot of work has to be put in to get to that point. It’s a day-to-day approach. Candle: Logan simply has to continue to be consistent. We are developing a lot of good senior leaders, and He shouldn’t have to feel the pressure of going out we have the core of our coaching staff back from last and winning every football game by himself. He’s year so I think we’re headed in the right direction to surrounded by a lot of great players and has a lot of accomplish the goals we’ve set for ourselves. weapons at his disposal to make our offense successful. He broke the school record in total offense last year and Q: How is the team handling the high expectations threw 45 touchdowns. He doesn’t have to duplicate for this season? those numbers to have a great year. We just need to be productive and balanced on offense. The ultimate Candle: That’s the reason you come to Toledo. High goal is to score however you can. expectations are the norm here. But our guys don’t get caught up in that. They don’t come to work every day facing the pressure of winning a conference title. It’s all about continuing to be the best version of yourself each and every day, and getting better as a team.

32 UTROCKETS.COM UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS Q: Logan will be surrounded by a lot of talent on offense, “That’s the reason you come despite losing two NFL draft to Toledo. High expectations picks in Michael Roberts and are the norm here. But our Kareem Hunt. guys don’t get caught up in Candle: We do return some that.

We’ve got a couple of running backs returning in Terry Swanson and Art Thompkins, Q: You mentioned your strength at the receiver who have each run for over 100 yards in a football position. You’ve got two receivers coming back game. We’re a little inexperienced at tight end, but in Cody Thompson and Jon’Vea Johnson who put we were last year as well and that turned out to be up big numbers last year. I think people may have a strength for us. On the offensive line, we’re losing forgotten about Diontae Johnson, who had an a great one in Storm Norton, as well as Mike Ebert impressive freshman year then missed last season and Paul Perschon. Those guys will be missed, but I’m due to injury. excited to watch some of the young guys who have been waiting their turn to step up and be every-down Candle: We had two receivers who each grabbed 10- players. plus touchdowns last year, and then we have Diontae coming back. Diontae also provides value in the return Q: Talking about the offensive line, you’ve got game. I think he might benefit from having the time off a strong nucleus of players who have started to grow and mature a bit. So I’m really excited about and played well, guys like Nate Jeppesen, Elijah those three. We also have some receivers who got their Nkansah, Bryce Harris, Yazeed Atariwa and Brant feet wet last year and are ready to make some plays Weiss. Who are some of the other up-and-coming for us. Danzel McKinley-Lewis and Desmond Phillips linemen who will need to step forward? played some meaningful time last year. Certainly we’re looking to expand their roles. (Redshirt freshman) Neru Candle: Those guys you mentioned have all played N’Shaka is coming off an injury and could be a factor. meaningful snaps and college football games Darryl Richards was in the rotation last year and is back throughout their career, which is encouraging. But as a senior. We also have three freshmen—Nick Kovacs, we’ve also got some younger guys who are ready to Bryce Mitchell and Darius Corbett—who all will have a show what they can do. Chandler Cotterman is a strong chance to compete. We’d like to have a fluid rotation at presence at guard. He has a chance to be a first-team wide receiver. The way we spread the football around, player. I’m really excited about him and his growth so there is plenty of opportunity for guys to get playing far, and the way he’s worked off the field and in the time. I wouldn’t write anyone off.

Brandon Heidecker is in Q: You’ve got to be very excited to have a receiver the mix, as is Luke Doerger, who is coming off of a like Cody Thompson. He’s someone you can build redshirt year.

You can move him around to a lot of different spots. He possesses a ton of skill and brings a really workmanlike approach to

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 33 Fisher, Reggie Gilliam and Drew Rosi, a freshman. Each one of those guys brings something different to the table. It will probably be by committee.

Q: At running back, you lose Kareem Hunt, who was a great talent and will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest running backs in UT history. But, as you mentioned earlier, you’ve got two guys who are proven, so I don’t think anyone is going to be feeling sorry for the Rockets this fall.

Candle: Terry Swanson is entering his fourth year playing for us. He played as a freshman, he’s been an all-conference performer for us. Just two years ago, he and Kareem were both second-team all-conference backs. I know if Terry’s development and growth can take the same leap that Kareem’s did from his junior to senior year, you’d expect some really good things out of him this fall. One thing Terry brings is consistency. Each and every day you know exactly what you’re going to get. As for Art Thompkins, he’s an explosive playmaker. He’s a guy that can score from anywhere on the field. He has improved in the passing game and certainly has improved in blitz pick-up, which gives him the right to each and every day. As a coach, you’re always trying to expect some playing time in any situation. We also have develop leaders and groom guys to be vocal and at the Nevone McCrimmon and Shakif Seymour, two young forefront of everything. Since he has been here, Cody guys who are coming on strong. Both have had good has led that position group just by his work ethic and off-seasons. I look forward to working with them and by his desire to be the best. That has shown up on game seeing what they will bring to the table as well. We will day. So we’re expecting a big senior year out of him and need our running backs to go three, four, or even five out of the other guys he has helped and supported. deep for us to be successful. Cody is just a fantastic player, a great student and a great teammate. I can’t say enough about that guy. Q: Moving to defense, let’s start with the defensive line. What are the strengths and challenges there? Q: At tight end, odds are you’re not going to get 16 touchdowns out of that position this year (the Candle: We might have the most depth on the number Michael Roberts had in 2016). But success defensive line since I’ve been here. At defensive tackle, at tight end is also measured by other things, our most experienced player is Marquise Moore. He like run-blocking, pass-blocking and down-field understands the daily routine of playing winning blocking. How do you see that position shaking football and what we ask our players to do. He’s a big out? guy at tackle who needs to take the next step and be a leader. He’s going to be counted on to be an every- Candle: Our tight ends definitely have big shoes to fill. down player, not a rotation guy. I know he’ll do a great It’s going to be hard to replace the statistics of Michael job of that. Other tackles who played some meaningful Roberts. Production could be spread around between snaps are Daniel Davis, Nate Childress, Lamarr Davis and a couple of tight ends, and other positions as well. Willie Ross. Reggie Howard is a junior-college transfer Battling for the position will be Adam Kulon, Jordan who will have a chance to be in the rotation at tackle.

34 UTROCKETS.COM UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS Q: And then at defensive end, you’ve got , who had a really good year, and Zach Quinn is a senior with significant experience.

Candle: Ola and Zach have played a ton of football for us. Ola obviously had great production last year, and Zach has played a lot on special teams and been very productive when he’s had his opportunities to play on defense. Tuzar Skipper also played some meaningful snaps last year. Malik Jones is a fifth-year transfer from Maryland who provides depth there, as well. So we have depth on the defensive line, plus a freshman class coming in that we’re certainly really excited about.

“Logan simply has to continue to be consistent. He shouldn’t have to feel the pressure of going out and winning every football game by himself. He’s surrounded by a lot of great players and has a lot of weapons at his disposal to make our offense successful.”

Now it’s time to put some point we were number-one in our conference in kick- more on their plate and see what they can deliver for return coverage. We did a consistently good job on the us. We also have a number of younger players who punt unit all year; the coverage was really good. In the could be challenging for playing time. return game, I think we can do a better job. That’s an area that needs to improve.

Q: You’ve got a punter to replace. Who are you looking at for that position?

Candle: Michael Julian and freshman Bailey Flint are our leading candidates at punter. Michael is still competing at quarterback so he will be taking reps at two positions.

Q: At , you used Jameson Vest for field goals and Sam Vucelich for kickoffs last year. Will you continue with that combination?

Candle: That’s a possibility, yes. I think both of our kickers did a good job last year, but they know they will have to be even better this year. They’re striving for consistency. We’ll have some good competition at that position.

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 111 2016 Game Reviews Toledo 35, EMU 20 Game #5 - October 8 Ypsilanti, Mich. Ypsilanti, Mich. – Junior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 247 yards and four touch- downs to lead Toledo to a 35-20 victory over a stubborn Eastern Michigan squad. The final outcome was not settled until Woodside connected with Corey Jones in the corner of the end zone from 12 yards out with 2:37 to play. A DeJuan Rogers’ interception on the ensuing drive eliminated any hopes of an Eagle comeback. Woodside, who leads the NCAA in passing efficiency, completed 25-of-31 passes. Junior Cody Thompson led the way with a career-high seven receptions for 126 yards and one TD. Senior Corey Jones also had seven catches and a score. Senior Kareem Hunt paced the running game with 141 yards and one TD. Toledo’s defense held EMU to 317 yards and forced two turnovers. The Eagles were just 2-of- 10 on third-down conversions while Toledo was 11-of-17. Neither team could break into the scoring column in the first quarter. Toledo had a good chance on its first drive, moving 60 yards in 14 plays, but was stopped on downs at the EMU 15- yard line when Woodside’s pass to Corey Jones came up one yard short of the sticks. The Rockets finally broke through with 8:24 left in the second quarter when Woodside hit Jon’Vea Johnson for a 17-yard scoring strike to cap off a five-play, 46-yard drive. Eastern coun- tered with a 34-yard field goal from Paul Fricano with eight seconds left in the first half.

Trailing 31-20 late in the fourth quarter, the Rockets scored on a Woodside pass to sopho- more Jon’Vea Johnson with just over three minutes left to cut the lead to five points. However, a last-gasp drive with less than a minute left in the game came up short. Woodside connected on 32-of-46 passes and broke the UT record for touchdown passes in a season with 31. Johnson had six receptions for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Corey Jones added seven catches for 115 yards and one TD. The game started out slowly as both teams failed to score in the first quarter, though Ohio had two great opportunities that went for naught. Papi White returned a punt 19 yards to the UT 27-yard line, but Ohio was pushed back six yards in three plays and forced to punt. On their next drive, the Bobcats moved down to the UT 17-yard line but a 31-yard loss on a bad snap pushed them out of scoring range. Ohio finally broke through with the first score of the game on a 57-yard TD bomb off a scramble from Quinton Maxwell to Kyle Belack with 9:17 left in the first half. Toledo countered with a 29-yard field goal by Jameson Vest to cut the lead to 7-3. But the Bobcats came right back when backup quarterback Sebastian Smith hit Greg Windham in the end zone for a 33-yard score to make the score 14-3 with 1:55 left in the half. Toledo used up the remaining time in the first half, moving the ball 38 yards in nine plays to set up a career-long 47-yard field goal by Vest to cut the lead to 14-6 at halftime.

Chicago, Ill. – Logan Woodside threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns, and Kareem Hunt scored a late game-winning touchdown to lead Toledo to a 31-24 come-from-behind victory over Northern Illinois at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.

Hunt’s game-winning touchdown came with 1:15 left in the contest, finishing off a nine- play, 71-yard drive that broke a 24-24 tie. The big play of the drive was a 39-yard completion from Woodside to sophomore wide receiver Jon’Vea Johnson to the NIU six-yard line. NIU drew first blood in the contest, scoring on a one-yard TD pass from Ryan Graham to Shane Wimann in the waning moments of the first quarter. The drive was kept alive when Toledo was whistled for off-sides on a made 33-yard field goal attempt. Toledo countered on its next possession with a 10-play, 48-yard drive that ended with a 44-yard field goal by Jameson Vest, trimming the lead to 7-3 early in the second quarter.

Montgomery, Ala. – Senior Kareem Hunt rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns to be- come Toledo’s all-time leading rusher, but it wasn’t enough as Toledo fell to Appalachian State, 31-28, in the 2016 Raycom Media Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Ala. App State scored on a 39-yard field goal with 5:14 left in the fourth quarter to give the Mountaineers a 31-28 lead. Toledo had its chance to tie the score but Jameson Vest’s 30-yard field-goal attempt with 1:48 remaining was wide right. Hunt led the rushing attack with 120 yards, giving him 4,945 career rushing yards, which breaks the all-time record at Toledo previously held by Chester Taylor (4,849 from 1998-2001). It was also the 28th 100-yard game in his career, breaking the school mark of 27 held by Taylor. Senior Logan Woodside connected 18-of-26 passes and added to his nation-leading total by throwing two touchdown passes. He leads the nation with 45 touchdown passes, two more than the No. 2 QB (Washington’s Jake Browning – 43). Junior Cody Thompson led the team with 99 yards on five receptions, giving him 1,269 on the season and surpassing the Toledo record of 1,194 set by Lance Moore in 2003. The contest was a close battle throughout the night with neither team leading by more than seven points. The score was tied at 7, 14, 21 and 28.

The headquarters for the Rocket football team, the Larimer Athletic Complex is located at the north end of the stadium. The structure contains a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility, locker room, sports medicine center, equipment room, academic resource center, offices and meeting rooms. One of the most appealing aspects of the Glass Bowl renovation was the way in which the architects introduced a modern look while keeping the flavor and atmosphere of the old stadium intact. The two towers and the stone outer wall remain, giving the Glass Bowl a look and feel unlike any other football stadium in America.

Improvements to the stadium and the increase in seating capacity could not keep pace with demand, however. Jammed with standing-room-only crowds, spectators headed for higher ground and at many games ended up sitting on the stone wall surrounding the field. In fact, UT led the nation in percentage of attendance from 1982-84 and had an incredible rating of 135.1 percent in 1982. One of the most memorable games was the Bowling Green contest on Oct. 23, 1982, when 31,369 people jammed into the Glass Bowl to see the Rockets’ 24-10 victory. By the 1980’s, the Glass Bowl’s age, combined with its frequent overflow crowds, necessitated change. That change began on May 25, 1989, when the first shovels of dirt were turned at a festive ground-breaking ceremony, signaling the beginning of the $18.5-million renovation of the Glass Bowl. The old wooden pressbox, which had a capacity of 53, was replaced by a new three-level press tower that seats 1,070.

166 UTROCKETS.COM /UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS Team Awards JIM NICHOLSON AWARD Jim Nicholson became UT’s first full-time football coach in April of 1930, at a time when the current Bancroft campus was still under construction. He upgraded the schedule and instituted organized recruiting, eventually building UT into a powerful and respected football program. In 1935, his final season, the Rockets finished 6-2-1, including a 63-0 win over Bowling Green that led to a 13-year cessation of the rivalry between the two schools. Nicholson helped design the Glass Bowl, and after his retirement as coach participated in reorganizing the Varsity ‘T’ Club. Nicholson later became an industrialist and civic leader in the City of Toledo. Established in 1963, the Nicholson Trophy honors the player contributing the most toward the success of the team. The selection is made by the players.

Since that season, however, stricter fire regulations have been imposed that prevent bleachers from being brought onto the field, making it impossible for UT to ever break its home at- tendance record in the current configuation of the Glass Bowl.

240 UTROCKETS.COM /UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS University History & Traditions UNIVERSITY ORIGIN The University of Toledo was founded by Jesup Wake- man Scott on October 12, 1872 as a private arts and trades school, known as Toledo University of Arts and Trades, offering painting and architectural drawing as its only subjects. Scott, the editor for the Toledo Blade newspaper from 1844 to 1847, was a public-spirited Toledoan who felt the city should have a university to train young people for responsible positions in the growing community. Scott’s dream led him to endow 160 acres of land which later became the Scott Park Campus. Scott died in 1874 and the school was forced to close in 1878 due to a lack of funds. On January 8, 1884, the assets of the university were turned over to the city of Toledo and the school reopened that year Graduate level geography students studied the paths taken as the Manual Training School, later changing its name to by students across the area now known as Centennial Mall Toledo University. In 1922, the university moved into an during the Blizzard of 1978 to layout the sidewalks. automobile mechanics training facility on Scott’s land that had been constructed during World War I.

While driving to work, Gilbert Mohr heard Jim Uebelhart announce the contest on the radio in January of that year. An amateur , Mohr began humming different tunes, and later with his wife, Jean Strout, wrote the lyrics. Their alma mater entry won the contest and the couple received a $100 government bond. “Fair Toledo” debuted at halftime of the Marshall-Toledo basketball game on March 2, 1959. THE CANNON Everyone who attends a Rocket football game is familiar with the “boom” of the cannon when the Rockets score.

Today, every UT student is considered a Rocket Fanatic the minute they enroll at the University of Toledo. The group exploded in popularity in 2000, when the Fanatics adopted the Athletic Department slogan, “See You at the Game,” and began distributing thousands of Rocket Fanatic t-shirts to UT students.

The new Rocky had a blue and gold rocket-man costume, complete with jetpack and astronaut helmet. The latest Rocky, which was unveiled in fall of 2008, main- tains the futuristic space concept but is depicted more as a cartoon super hero. He was joined by a female companion, Rocksy, in 2010.
