As preparation for the 2014 football season has begun, the Portland State of running backs that return for Portland State, led by SR Shaq Richard (5-8, Vikings look forward to turning the “might-have-beens” into “jobs-well-done.” 180, 1,252 yards, 8 TDs in his career), SO Nate Tago (5-11, 215, 35-216-3 in 2013) The Vikings had a solid 2013 season, but perhaps left a few on the field and RS FR Steven Long (5-7, 180) and Rey Vega (5-10, 195), should keep that that they could have won. Four of the Vikings’ five conference losses came by effective rushing game intact. a combined total of just 16 points, and their final two games were one-point Portland State’s quarterbacks play a large role in the running game as losses. well in a Pistol/Pass hybrid offense. JR Kieran McDonagh (6-2, 240) has rushed Still, the Vikings’ 6-6 record and 3-5 mark in Big Sky Conference play were for 775 yards and 13 touchdowns to go with his 4,123 passing yards and 29 an improvement over the 3-8/1-7 records of the 2012 campaign. PSU threatened touchdowns over the last two seasons. In brief action last year, SO Paris Penn to upset Pac-12 opponent California and were only out of one game (Montana) (6-1, 215) completed 10-15 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown and rushed 28 in the late-going all season. times for 188 yards and a score.

While Portland State had a brilliant running game, the pass game was Coach Nigel Burton’s thoughts as the Vikings enter spring practice: nearly as effective in 2013. The Vikings averaged 263 yards through the air and led the nation with 16.7 yards per pass completion. Those numbers are relevant THE FOCUS FOR THIS SPRING: “We need to increase our playmaking. We got in to 2014 as the majority of the wide receiving corps returns. situations last year where we needed a guy to make a play, we didn’t get it, and Led by SR Kasey Closs (6-3, 205, 63 receptions, 1,167 yards, 8 TDs) and JR sometimes that cost us ball games even though we outplayed our opponent. Thomas Carter (5-10, 185, 38-389-1), PSU should be hard to stop once again That is really going to be a point of emphasis (in the spring).” and may even increase the pass play calls over last year (39.5% of total offensive “We are always concerned about leadership at this point of the year but plays). SRs Alex Toureen (6-0, 180, 10-178-3) and Roston Tatum (6-2, 220, 9-233- I like what I have seen so far. We did not do a very good job with leadership in 1), JR David Jones (6-1, 205, 8-138-0), SO Jamarr Graves (6-3, 205, 1-10-0) and RS 2012. I thought we did an above average job in 2013. It was tough for us to pull ourselves out of hard moments. That was where we missed a little bit of leader- ship. As a team gets older - and we were pretty young last year - that’s one thing you see improve.”

OFFENSE - PSU ranked third in the nation in total offense in 2013 and set six school records: “We need continued consistency on the offensive side of the ball and to keep making big plays. We also need to find somebody that can replace the production of DJ Adams.” “I’m looking for some consistent play out of the quarterback position. That has got to be critical. You can’t turn the ball over like we did last year and I need those guys to be leaders on the football field.”

DEFENSE - In 2013, PSU held six Big Sky opponents under 100 yards rushing and allowed nine points fewer per game than the previous year. However, the defense also gave up 38+ points to four Big Sky opponents: “On defense we need to improve our consistency. We had some flashes of brilliance last year and sometimes our demons caught up with us. So we are trying to get to where the games like UC Davis, Southern Utah and North Dakota - those performances - are commonplace for that group.” Steve Brenner Kasey Closs had opposing defenders chasing him the entire 2013 season. The Viking wide receiver caught 63 passes for 1,167 yards and eight touchdowns - all team highs.

THE VALUE OF HAVING THE FIVE TRANSFERS ON DEFENSE IN FOR SPRING SO Darnell Adams (6-2, 185) are all returning veterans at wideout.

The good news is the stable With just five returning starters, the Portland State defense will have to 2014 Portland State Vikings Football • 7 Veteran cornerback Aaron Sibley will be counted on to help shore up the Vikings’ pass defense in 2014. Larry Lawson SPECIAL TEAMS Portland State’s special teams discussion has to begin with consensus All- American punter Kyle Loomis (6-2, 230). The senior-to-be smashed the Portland State record for punting average, leading the nation in the process, with 46.5 yards per boot. He beat the previous PSU mark by nearly four yards per punt. As a result, the Vikings also led the nation in net punting (41.7). PSU coaches expect more of the same from the 26-year old former member of the US Army. If he can accomplish that, he will be a strong NFL prospect. While punting was a team strength in 2013, place kicking was a weakness. The Viking program will have a three-man heated competition for the kicking role as two players return with a junior college transfer bringing talent to team. SR Nick Fernandez (5-8, 175) is a two-year letterwinner, who had some success in 2012, making five field goals and 25-25 extra points. But last season, he struggled to make only 1-6 field goals and 31-32 extra points in eight starts. SO Marcus Kinsella (5-11, 195) made four starts, hitting 2-10 field goals and regroup on each level. SR DT Joe Lopez is the only returner up front, while two 21-23 extra points.

BYU transfer Michael Doman (6-4, 265) figures into the plans at the end spot and will be a candidate to start right away. PSU has seven returning redshirts on the line and added eight defensive linemen on signing day in a nod toward the future. That has Portland State opening spring football with 24 players listed at defensive line - the most at any position on the team. Outside linebackers Brandon Brody-Heim (JR, 5-11, 220) and Corey Crowder (SR, 6-1, 220) combined for 20 starts and 105 tackles in 2013. They will be counted on for bigger numbers and leadership in 2014. Other veterans with starts are SR Jake Woolley (6-4, 225, 3 starts) and JR Jeremy Lutali (5-11, 230, 2 starts). Junior transfers Zack Berg (6-2, 235, Wyoming) and Anthony McNichols (5-11, 235, Golden West CC) are also in the equation to start for the Vikings. Depth should be no issue at linebacker as other returnees include JRs Dennis Taylor (6-0, 230) and Kawika Stant (5-11, 230), while RS FR John Norcross (6-1, 215) is ready to contribute as well. Safety Dean Faddis (6-0, 205) was arguably Portland State’s top defender in 2013 with 88 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions and a team-high 11 pass breakups. It was a remarkable performance for a player who missed nearly two full seasons with foot injuries. Faddis was granted an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA and will lead the Vikings from the back row in 2014. JR TR Patrick Onwuasor (6-2, 225) signed with the Vikings in February. He is likely to earn the other starting role after playing previously at Arizona. JRs Demetrius Jackson (5-10, 180) and Walter Santiago (5-11, 195) and SO Darien Washington (5-10, 170) all have game experience at safety for the Vikings. JR CB Aaron Sibley (5-10, 180) leads the Viking group at cornerback. He has 15 career starts. Sibley made 42 tackles, an interception and four pass breakups while starting every game in 2013. SOs Xavier Coleman (5-11, 190) and Chevy Walker (6-0, 185) are top candidates for the other cornerback role. SO TR Max Lyons (5-9, 175) signed with the Vikings in February and figures to be in the mix as well.

There was no finer punter in the nation in 2013 than Kyle Loomis.
