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:

• “Give a Kid a Smile Day” at the UT Medical Center • Toledo Children’s Hospital • Boca Raton Bowl hospital visit • Lincoln Academy After School Program • Trilby Elementary School visit • 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” • Glass City Marathon Kids Run • Wheelchair football • Kroger “Sacks for Cash” • “Victory Day” at the Glass Bowl

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2016 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 8 UTROCKETS.COM UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS Rocket Academics

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 program. 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 accom- modate 80 media members. An in-house television crew provides closed-circuit coverage of every Rocket home game. A five-camera production is fed to two videoscreens on either end of the field and to more than 70 television monitors in the press tower.

Updates to the Glass Bowl include new FieldTurf (above) and renovations to the east side of the stadium that will improve the fan experience on game day (left).

Amongst his competition, only Julian has taken snaps in a collegiate game. “I think Logan Woodside and Michael Julian played very well in the spring,” said Candle. “Mitch Guidagni may have been a little behind those guys at first, but once he got acclimated he was outstanding and finished the spring on a very positive note. So I’m really excited about their work ethic and their commitment to what they do. We look forward to watching these guys compete in fall camp, and picking a starter who will give the Rockets the best chance to win.” Junior Terry Swanson teamed with Kareem Hunt to form a deadly duo in Toledo’s backfield in 2015.

Leading the way is 6-8, 306-pound senior left tackle Storm Norton, who earned first-team All-MAC honors in 2015. Norton, who was named to the 2015 AP All-Bowl Team, is on the official watch list for the Rotary Lombardi Award (nation’s top lineman) for the second consecutive season. Other returning starters are seniors Paul Perschon and Mike Ebert, along with junior Elijah Nkansah. “The offensive line will be the leaders of our offense this year,” said Candle. “I appreciate the attention to detail and the spirit those guys bring to practice. We have a number of guys who are looking to fill those five spots. Some guys really played well in the spring, so it will be interesting to see who emerges to the front.” Leading candidates to push the returning starters for playing time are juniors Brant Weiss and Nate Jeppesen, and sophomore Yazeed Atariwa. Up-and-coming talent includes junior Sami Kassem, and redshirt freshmen Bryce Harris, Cameron Bell and Chandler Cotterman.

Defensive Line Toledo’s defensive line was a dominant force in 2015. Six seniors from that group have graduated, creating an opportunity for a new generation of linemen.

They both need to be leaders on our defense this year.” Junior Jack Linch and a talented group of sophomores—Tyler Taafe, Richard Olekanma and Anthony Davis—will be pushing for playing time, as will Jeremi Powell, a senior graduate transfer from Florida.

Quinn, a converted linebacker, had 10 tackles in part-time duty in 2015. Moore has battled injuries throughout much of his career so he is looking to play an entire season at full strength. Other defensive ends competing for playing time are junior college transfer Tuzar Skipper and sophomore Notre Dame transfer Jhonny Williams. Earl Moore, a 6-1, 302-pound senior graduate transfer from Miami (FL), will be fighting for playing time at tackle, along with a pair of redshirt freshmen, LaMarr Davis and Chad Coeling.

I appreciate the attention to detail and the spirit when you returned a veteran defensive line and had those guys bring to practice. We have a number of guys five new starters on the offensive line. Is there anything who are looking to fill those five spots. Some guys really you can take away from that experience? played well in the spring, so it will be interesting to see who emerges to the front.

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2016 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE UTROCKETS.COM /UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS 29 to the mix. Art is a young guy who has speed and can be a game-changer from anywhere on the field. Nevone is cut in the cloth of a bigger back (5-11, 235 pounds). We like to use bigger backs in our offense. He has the body to take the pounding that running backs receive, yet he is very athletic and can make people miss in space, as well.

Q: In the receiving corps you have two key players returning, senior Corey Jones and junior Cody Thompson. Thompson had a breakthrough year, finishing third in the nation with 22.3 yards per reception. The target is on his back now but I assume you are looking for a big year from him.

Candle: Cody needs to take his game to another level now. He’ll be on the radar of every defense we play. It’s going to be fun to see how he handles that. He’s a tremendous leader with a great work ethic. With Corey Jones, his speed is a game-changer on offense and as a return man. He’s had a tremendous career here and we’re looking for a big senior year from him. Other receivers we’re counting on are (sophomores) Diontae Johnson and Jon’Vea Johnson, both of whom played well for us at times last year. (Sophomore) Andrew Davis keeps improving and Q: Other than the four returning starters on the O-line, his confidence is growing. (Senior) Zach Yousey and junior who are some of the other guys we should look for to Darryl Richards have seen playing time for us. As a whole, compete for playing time? it’s an experienced group that continues to improve in both catching the ball and blocking in our running game. Candle: Some of the guys who came in and played well for us off the bench last year were Brant Weiss, Q: At tight end you’ve got senior Michael Roberts who Nate Jeppesen and Big Z (Yazeed Atariwa). Some of the shared time last year but now looks to have a bigger young guys we will be watching closely are Bryce Harris , role this year. Chandler Cotterman and Sami Kassem.

Let’s start with the defensive I feel he is one of the best running backs in the country line. You lost a lot of good players there but you have with his combination of speed and power. He’s looking some good players coming back and maybe some new to put an exclamation point on his career at Toledo. Terry guys we don’t know as much about. Swanson is a junior now, and he has developed into one of the guys we are counting on to lead this team.

We’re also adding (redshirt freshman) Art he’s ready to take the next step and become a leader on Thompkins and (grayshirt freshman) Nevone McCrimmon

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2016 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 30 UTROCKETS.COM /UTROCKETS @TOLEDOROCKETS @UTROCKETS this team, which will be a new role for him because he’s always been surrounded by veteran guys. He commands the offensive line’s attention on every play. We’re looking for him to have a great year. (Junior) Marquise Moore has played a lot of football for us at tackle. We’re looking for him to stay healthy and have a big year for us. At defensive end, (senior) John Stepec, (junior) Zach Quinn and sophomore Ola Adeniyi were all in the rotation for us last year. Now they need to transition into bigger roles. Other players at defensive end we are looking at are (junior college transfer) Tuzar Skipper and (sophomore Notre Dame transfer) Jhonny Williams. At tackle, we have two redshirt freshmen, LaMarr Davis and Chad Coeling, who are strong guys who have had tremendous off-seasons.

Q: It’s a similar story in the secondary. You lost some very key players so other guys will have to step up. he’s got a chance to compete for a starting role at safety.

The victory was Toledo’s first win over an SEC team in four tries and the first time the Rockets defeated a Top 25 non-conference opponent on the road. Toledo’s defense was stellar throughout the game. The Rockets held Arkansas to just 103 yards rushing on 31 attempts. Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen did throw for 412 yards, but the Razorbacks came away with just three points in four visits to the red zone in the second half. Jaylen Coleman led the defense with a career-high 13 tackles. Cheatham Norrils notched three pass breakups, including two in Arkansas’ final two possessions. DeJuan Rogers registered a career-best 11 tackles and an interception in the end zone that halted a Razorback drive in the third quarter. Ely completed 21-of-38 passes and consistently converted third-down passes. Damion Jones-Moore led the rushing attack with 68 yards and one TD on 11 carries. The outcome of the contest was not decided until the final play. With just one second remaining, Allen fired a pass from the 16-yard line into the end zone to Keon Hatcher that sailed over his head, igniting a celebration on the Toledo sideline. Arkansas’ final possession came after Toledo took an intentional safety on fourth-and-four from its own 14-yard line. The Rockets then kicked off and the Razorbacks took possession on their own 32-yard line with 52 seconds left. Allen completed three passes to drive Arkansas down to UT’s 16-yard line but could not get the Hogs into the end zone.

TOLEDO, OH - For the second consecutive week, Toledo defeated a “Power Five” conference team in a game that went down to the final play. This time it was the Iowa State Cyclones of the Big 12 who fell to the Rockets, 30-23, in double overtime before a joyous crowd of 23,104 at the Glass Bowl. A week earlier, Toledo knocked off then-No. 18 Arkansas in a 16-12 decision. This time, it took two overtimes to settle the issue between the Rockets and Cyclones, with the contest ending with a fourth-down sack of Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson by Tre James on fourth-and-nine. The Rockets took the lead in the second overtime on a 10-yard touchdown run by Da- mion Jones-Moore. The teams exchanged field goals in the first overtime, with ISU’s Cole Netten connecting from 44 yards and UT’s Jameson Vest making good from 42. Iowa State missed a golden opportunity to win the game in regulation, but Netten missed a 32-yard field goal with no time left on the clock, sending the game into OT with the score knotted, 20-20. Toledo was led by Kareem Hunt, who gained 129 yards on 24 carries in his first game of the season. Phillip Ely was 11-of-28 for 138 yards and one touchdown.

With the victory, the Rockets moved to 4-0 on the season, 1-0 in Mid-American Conference play. Toledo held the Cardinals to just 262 yards of total offense and one touchdown on a long pass play, its first TD allowed from scrimmage since the fourth quarter of the Iowa State game. The Rockets led 24-3 at halftime and held Ball State to just 26 yards rushing on 30 carries. Rocket opponents have rushed for 12 yards on 54 attempts in the last two games. Jaylen Coleman led Toledo in tackles with eight, his fourth consecutive game tallying a team- high mark in stops. Trent Voss added seven tackles and three tackles for loss, while Cheatham Nor- rils had six stops and two pass breakups. The offense, missing injured running back Kareem Hunt (hamstring) for the second straight game, was powered by a three-headed rushing attack of Terry Swanson (139 yards), Damion Jones- Moore (85 yards, 1 TD) and Marc Remy (56 yards). Phillip Ely shook off two first-quarter interceptions to complete 16-of-22 passes for 164 yards and two scores. The Cardinals finally put points on the scoreboard on a 29-yard field goal by Morgan Hagee as time expired to end the first half. Following a scoreless third quarter, Ball State shook off its offensive doldrums with a 51-yard touchdown reception by Jordan Williams from Riley Neal, cutting the lead to 24-10 with 11:12 left in the contest. The Cardinals had a chance to cut the lead further, but Hagge’s 36-yard field attempt with 5:34 remaining missed badly to the right. Toledo then gained 57 yards and four first downs to run out the clock to clinch the win.

The 63-point output was a season high and the most since Toledo’s 63-44 victory over Arkansas State in the GoDaddy Bowl on Jan. 4, 2015. It was the most in a regular-season game since a 66-63 Rocket win over Western Michigan in 2011. The Rockets trailed 6-0 after one quarter of play but scored 56 unanswered points to roll to their sixth consecutive victory. Toledo (6-0, 3-0 MAC) scored four touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 28-6 lead into the locker room. UT then exploded for four more TDs in the third to put the game away. Eastern Michigan was able to move the ball in the first half, racking up 234 yards of total offense by the break. But the Eagles could not penetrate Toledo’s end zone when they had the chance, and had no answer for UT’s big plays on both sides of the ball. The Rockets totaled 12 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and four sacks. Delando Johnson paced the ‘D’ with 11 tackles. Toledo’s offense racked up a season-high 611 yards, 373 in the air and 238 on the ground. Cody Thompson (88 yards), Corey Jones (55 yards) and Diontae Johnson (22 yards) all caught long TD passes from Ely in the third quarter. Zach Yousey also caught a TD in the third quarter, a 14-yarder from Michael Julian. Michael Roberts caught a nine-yard TD in the second quarter. Terry Swanson paced the running attack with 97 yards on four carries, Damion Jones- Moore added 82 yards and Kareem Hunt chipped in with 45 yards on nine carries.

FOXBOROUGH, MA - Faced with its first double-digit deficit of the season, No. 19 Toledo (7-0, 4-0 MAC) responded with a dominating second-half performance in a 51-35 victory over UMass at Gillette Stadium. Toledo trailed at halftime, 28-10. After being hampered by three interceptions in the first half, the Rockets scored on their first five possessions of the second stanza.

The Rockets’ victory extended their winning streak to 10 games dating back to 2014, mark- ing the fifth double-digit winning streak in school history. Phillip Ely ignited the second-half explosion with four scoring tosses, finishing the day with a career-high 355 passing yards and a career-best five TDs. Ely’s five touchdown throws are tied for third-most in school history. Ely primarily spread the ball out to a trio of receivers. Cody Thompson hauled in six catches for 116 yards and a career-best two scores, Alonzo Russell caught five passes for 96 yards and a TD and Corey Jones matched his season high with eight receptions for 88 yards and one TD. Terry Swanson led Toledo’s ground attack with 21 carries for 118 yards and a score.

TOLEDO, OH - Terry Swanson and Kareem Hunt combined for 273 yards rushing but it wasn’t enough as the No. 20 Rockets fell to West Division rival Northern Illinois, 32-27, at the Glass Bowl. It was the first loss of the season for Toledo following seven consecutive wins. Toledo drew first blood on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Phillip Ely to Alonzo Russell with 8:05 remaining in the first quarter. NIU wasted no time with its counter-punch, as Drew Hare hit Tommylee Lewis down the middle of the field for 67-yard scoring strike just two plays later. Trailing 27-19 in the fourth quarter, the Huskies scored two touchdowns in the final nine minutes. The second score, a two-yard run by Joel Bouagnon with 1:59 left, gave NIU its first lead of the game. Toledo’s attempt to rally was quickly thwarted when Ely’s pass to Hunt was tipped in the air and intercepted by Boomer Mays at the UT 21-yard line. The Huskies then ran out the clock to claim their sixth consecutive victory over the Rockets. Hunt led Toledo with a season-high 140 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Swanson added 133 yards on 16 attempts. Chase Murdock and Ja’Wuan Woodley led the defense with 11 tackles apiece.

MOUNT PLEASANT, MI — Kareem Hunt rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns to lead To- ledo to a critical 28-23 victory over Central Michigan at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Hunt’s first touchdown was a 41-yard run in the first quarter that put the Rockets up, 14-0, while his second TD was a three-yard plunge in the fourth quarter that helped give UT its winning cushion. Hunt was complemented by Phillip Ely, who completed 23-of-39 passes for 322 yards and two scores. His primary target was Alonzo Russell, who tallied four receptions and a team-high 86 yards. Toledo’s defense held CMU to just 59 yards rushing, forcing the Chippewas into a one-dimen- sional attack. Cheatham Norrils (seven tackles, one interception, two pass breakups) and Christian Dukes (six tackles, two breakups) led the defense. Toledo wasted no time getting on the board, driving 70 yards in 12 plays on its opening drive to take a 7-0 lead. The final two yards came on a shovel pass from Ely to Michael Roberts. Two possessions later, Hunt took it to the house on a 41-yard TD romp, his longest rush of the season, making it 14-0 with 1:48 left in the first quarter. CMU stayed alive with a 10-play, 79-yard drive that was capped off by a five-yard TD catch by Anthony Rice from Rush with 3:26 left in the game. The two-point conversion attempt failed, making the score 28-23. Toledo answered with a long drive but failed to cash in when Vest’s 33-yard field goal missed wide right with 21 seconds left. CMU took over at its own 20-yard line but its faint hopes ended when Norrils picked off Rush at the CMU 43 with five seconds left.

BOWLING GREEN, OH - Kareem Hunt rushed for a season-high 153 yards and two touchdowns and the Rocket defense forced five turnovers as Toledo defeated arch-rival Bowling Green, 44-28. It was the sixth consecutive victory for Toledo in the “Battle of I-75.” More importantly, it kept Toledo (9-1, 6-1 MAC) in the thick of race for the Mid-American Conference West Division title. Hunt battered the Falcons on the ground early as Toledo jumped out to a 20-0 lead, and then ground up yardage late as the Rockets tried to eat up the clock. Phillip Ely made enough big plays to keep the Falcons’ defense honest. Ely completed 16-of-24 passes for 208 yards and one touchdown, and also ran for his first career score. Toledo’s defense held Bowling Green to 368 yards of total offense, 216 below its average of 584. Most important was the three fumble recoveries and two interceptions by the Rockets that either stopped BGSU drives or set up Toledo scores. The game was sealed by Cheatham Norrils’ second interception of the game with 1:55 left.

TOLEDO, OH - Toledo’s hopes for a MAC Championship were washed away by West- ern Michigan, 35-30, on a rain-soaked afternoon at the Glass Bowl. A win for the Rockets would have given them an outright West Division title and a trip to the MAC Championship Game. Instead, the Rockets (9-2, 6-2 MAC) had to settle for a share of the division crown with Northern Illinois, Central Michigan and the Broncos. As a result, NIU earned a trip to the MAC Championship Game for a sixth-consecutive season. Senior quarterback Phillip Ely completed 16-of-33 passes for 280 yards and two TDs. Junior Kareem Hunt led the rushing attack with 139 yards and one score on 20 carries. Western Michigan pushed its lead to 32-21 on the opening drive of the second half, a nine-play, 65-yard drive capped by Bogan’s one-yard run. Toledo missed an opportunity to answer when Hunt was stopped on fourth-and-one on WMU’s 17-yard line. But the Rockets came back on their next drive to cut the lead to eight points, 32-24, on Jameson Vest’s 19- yard field goal with 58 seconds left in the third quarter. Toledo’s final chance to pull out the victory was thwarted when Western recovered an on-side kick with 1:16 left following a late UT touchdown pass from Ely to Diontae Johnson.

BOCA RATON, FL – Phillip Ely threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns and Toledo used a smothering defense to knock off No. 24 Temple, 32-17, at the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl at FAU Sta- dium. Ely, playing in his final game as a Rocket, returned to his native Florida to lead the Rockets to victory in Jason Candle’s first game as head coach. Candle, a seven-year assistant at UT, took over the head coaching position on Dec. 2 after Matt Campbell assumed the head coaching position at Iowa State. Ely was named the game’s Offensive MVP. He completed 20-of-28 passes despite throwing in driving rain most of the night. Kareem Hunt led the running attack with 79 yards and two TDs. Cody Thompson had four receptions for a career-high 119 yards, including a big 80-yard score in the fourth quarter. While Ely provided the Rockets with leadership on offense, the Toledo defense set the tone of the game, holding the Owls to just 17 points and a mere 67 yards of total offense in the first half. Ja’Wuan Woodley, who had a key sack and safety in the first half, was named the game’s Defensive MVP.Chase Murdock and Trent Voss paced the front seven with 11 and 10 tackles, respectively. The game was in doubt until the waning moments of the fourth quarter. Toledo broke open a close game with an 80-yard touchdown pass from Ely to Thompson to make the score 19-9 with 12:41 left. A Hunt one-yard TD with less than six minutes left gave UT a comfortable 25-9 lead.

The second part of the renovation project was the construction of the Larimer Athletic Complex. 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.

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2016 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 158 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.

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

TOLEDO ROCKET FOOTBALL | 2016 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 230 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.

The competition was held to replace “Golden and Blue,” set to “Amici,” a tune used by various universities. While driving to work, Gilbert Mohr heard Jim Uebelhart announce the contest on the radio in January of that year. An amateur songwriter, 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.

Over the years Rocky’s costume has changed many times. In the early 70s, Rocky wore a tall metal rocket helmet with many different jumpsuit type outfits, including such items as bellbottom pants. Then, in 1977, an authentic spacesuit, helmet, and boots were donated to the university by the NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas with the help of former Ohio astronaut and senator, John Glenn. The space suit was used for football games, but because of its mass, a lightweight replica was used for the basketball season. Both suits were used until 1980 when Rocky took on a more futuristic look in a costume that was designed to present more of a space rocket image. Another Rocky costume, which was plush with huge feet, was introduced in 1983, but was only used until 1986 when a big blue plush Rocky with smaller feet was unveiled. Throughout the late 1980s and most of the 1990s only minor changes were made to Rocky’s costume. In 1998, at the Bowling Green football game, a new Rocky arrived at midfield via helicopter. The new Rocky had a blue and gold rocket-man costume, complete with jetpack and astronaut helmet.
