2009 Bowl Guide • aThleTiC CommuniCaTions

FALCONS TRAvEL WEST FOR 2009 ROADy’S HUMANITARIAN BOWLThe Bowling Green State University football team will be playing in its fourth bowl game since 2003, this time featuring the 2009 Roady’s Humanitar-ian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, versus the Idaho Vandals. Opening kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. EST and will be carried live on ESPN.

SCOUTING THE FALCONSThe Falcons are led by first year head coach Dave Clawson, who comes to BGSU after a successful ca-reer at Fordham and Richmond. Clawson is 7-5 in his first year as the Falcons’ head coach.

The Falcon offense is led by third-year signal caller, Tyler Sheehan, who will be making his 38th consecu-tive start on Wednesday. Through his first 37 games as a Falcon he has thrown for 9,730 yards (second-best in school history) and 66 touchdowns (also second-best in school history). This year alone the senior has thrown for 3,664 yards (305.3/game) and 23 touchdowns, while adding four more scores on the ground. Sheehan and the Falcons are first in the MAC and eighth nationally, averaging 310.2 yards per game through the air and have thrown for over 300 yards in six of their last eight contests.

Sheehan’s main offensive weapon is fellow classmate Freddie Barnes, who after 12 games this season, has amassed 138 receptions (11.5 per game), 1,551 yards (129.2 per game) and 16 touchdowns. His receptions and touchdowns are tops in the country. Barnes, a Biletnikoff finalist, has eight games of at least 10-plus receptions and eight 100-yard receiving games this season. Barnes’ top performance of the year was versus Kent State back on Oct. 10. The Chicago Heights, Ill., native recorded 22 grabs for 278 yards and three touchdowns. His 22 receptions were one shy of the NCAA record. Barnes is the BGSU and MAC record holder for catches in a season and is four shy of the all-time NCAA mark of 142, set by Manny Hazzard in 1989.

Defensively the Falcons are led by a handful of seniors, including by Cody Basler (81 tackles, 3.0 sacks), James Schneider (79 tackles, 3.5 sacks), Jerett Sanderson (77 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss), Jahmal Brown (73 tackles, three forced fumbles), Roger Williams (70 tackles, four interceptions) and P.J. Ma-hone (62 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss).

2009 noteS

NOT MANy CAN SAy ITTwenty-two new head coaches took the field in 2009 and only six of those coaches are playing in a bowl contest, including BGSU’s Dave Claw-son. In fact, only Clawson and Wyoming’s Dave Christensen are members of non BCS schools with first-year head coaches that will be participat-ing in bowl games in 2009. The other four head coaches include: Dabo Swinney (Clemson), Chip Kelley (Oregon), Frank Spaziani (Boston College) and Lane Kiffin (Tennessee).

FOUR FALCONS EARN ALL-MAC HONORSFour Falcons earned Mid-American Conference postseason honors, announced by the league of-fice this morning (Dec. 2). Freddie Barnes earned first-team honors, Jimmy Scheidler was named to the second-team and Tyler Sheehan and Shane Steffy earned third-team honors.

Barnes, a Biletnikoff finalist, given to college foot-ball’s most outstanding wide receiver, earns first-team honors for the first time in his career. Barnes was named to the All-MAC third-team in 2007. This season the fifth-year senior leads the nation in receptions (138) and touchdowns (16) and is third in the country in yards (1,551). His top per-formance came on Oct. 10 when Barnes recorded 22 catches for 278 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-35 win at Kent State. A week later the Chi-cago Heights, Ill., native caught 10 balls for 160 yards and three scores versus Ball State, earning National Wide Receiver honors in back-to-back weeks by the College Performance Award.

Scheidler played in 11 games this season, posting 25 catches for 304 yards, earning second-team

honors for the first time in his career. In the sea-son opener versus Troy he had four catches and a career-high 72 yards in the 31-14 win. Versus Ohio he had a career-high five catches and added 67 yards.

Sheehan earns third-team honors for the second time in his career after being named to the same team in 2007. He completed 340-of-528 passes, both BGSU school records and threw for 3,664 yards, the third-most in school history while add-ing 23 touchdowns, the fifth-most in school his-tory. On the season he averaged a touchdown passes once every 22.9 passes and threw an in-terception every 88-pass attempts (23:6 ratio). He has also thrown at least one touchdown pass in 21 straight games, the third longest active streak in the country.

Steffy earns third-team honors for the first time in his career. In 2009 Steffy started all 12 games, nine of them at left guard and moved to center for three games when Ben Bojicic suffered an in-jury. As a unit, the Falcon offensive line allowed just 26 sacks, despite the Falcons throwing the ball more than any other team in the conference.

COMEBACK KIDSThe Falcons have rallied back from a double-digit fourth quarter deficit twice in 2009 to pull out a victory. The Falcons scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter for a 30-29 win at Buffalo on Nov. 3 and back on Oct. 10 the Falcons scored a pair of touchdowns in the game’s final six min-utes to win 36-35 at Kent State.

NEARLy HAD THREE MOREEven with two fourth quarter comebacks this season the Falcons have had the ball late in the fourth quarter down one score in four other games in 2009.at Missouri - Down 27-20, 1:36 remaining - Drove to the BGSU40 before turning it over on downs.at Marshall - Down 17-10, 2:13 remaining - Drove to the Marshall26 before turning it over on downs.vs. Ohio - Down 44-37, 1:40 remaining - Drove to the Ohio14 before turning it over on downs.

RECORD DOESN’T TELL THE ENTIRE STORyWhile the Falcons finished 7-5 overall and 6-2 in conference play, you can’t say the Falcons aren’t challenging their team when it comes to the sched-ule. Overall, the Falcons have played six of their 12 games against teams with .500 or better record, and in fact the combined winning percentage of those seven teams is not even close to .500. Boise State (12-0), Central Michigan (10-2), Troy (9-3), Marshall (6-6), Ohio (9-3) and Missouri (8-4) have a combined 54-19 record (.739).


MAC ROAD WARRIORS; FINISH 2009 4-0 ON ROADThe Falcons are 12-2 since 2007 in MAC road contests. They have wins over Kent State (31-20), Eastern Michigan (39-32) and Buffalo (31-17) in 2007, wins over Akron (37-33), Ohio (28-3) and Toledo (38-10) in 2008 and are 4-0 in MAC road games in 2009, downing Kent State (36-35), Ball State (31-17), Buffalo (30-29) and Miami (35-14). The Falcons lone road MAC road losses in that time are versus Miami in 2007 (47-14) and Northern Illinois in 2008 (16-13).

ANOTHER NOvEMBER TO REMEMBER!For the second time in three seasons the Falcons entered the month of November knowing they would have to win their last four games to reach postseason play. In 2007 BGSU won its last four contests to finish 8-4 and advance to the GMAC Bowl. Like 2007, the Orange and Brown entered November needing to win its last four contests after opening the season just 3-5. With wins over Buffalo (30-29), Miami (35-14), Akron (36-20) and Toledo (38-24) BGSU rallied to a 7-5 record. In fact over the past three seasons the Falcons are 11-1 in the month of November.

THEy DID IT AGAINIn the win over Akron on Nov. 20 Tyler Sheehan threw for 338 yards and Freddie Barnes finished with 12 receptions for 197 yards and two scores. It was Sheehan’s eighth 300-yard game of the season and Barnes’ eighth game of surpassing the 100-yard plateau. In fact when Sheehan surpasses 300 yards and Barnes goes over 100 yards in the same game the Falcons are 6-2 in those eight games.

AERIAL ATTACKBowling Green’s passing attack ranks first in the Mid-American Conference and eighth na-tionally in yards per game, averaging 310.2 yards through the air. Eight times have the Fal-cons gone over the 300-yard plateau, including a 505 yard effort at Kent State, the most pass-ing yards ever for a Falcon quarterback. Other 300-yard games include Troy (339), Marshall (383), Ohio (390), Ball State (376), Central Michigan (341), Buffalo (313) and Akron (338).

ICE THAT ARMHelping that national ranking is the fact that the Falcons have thrown it 548 times, third-most in the country. The pass attempts and completions (347) are both new school records. The previous records of 345 completions was set in 2003 and the 522 attempts was just set in 2007.

RUN FALCONS RUNWhile the Falcons have managed just 975 yards and a 2.9 average per carry throughout the 2009 season, the last three weeks when the Falcons had to run the ball to protect a lead they have done just that. In the fourth quarter of each of the last three games the Falcons’ run-ning game has been at its best. Versus Miami, BGSU posted 15 carries for 111 yards, versus Akron they ran it 10 times for 90 yards and versus Toledo, they posted 12 carries for 92 yards. Overall BGSU has run the ball 37 times for 293 yards (7.9 avg.) in the fourth quarter alone in the last three contests.

2009 noteS


MAy THE FORCE BE WITH yOUBGSU, who has 19 forced turnovers on the year, have forced 12 of those turnovers in the last three games. The Orange and Brown forced five turnovers versus Miami, two versus Akron and five versus Toledo.

yOU DECIDE? - 2009Much has been made about the Falcons passing offense, but who wins the debate on who is more valuable to the team? Is it quarterback Tyler Sheehan, who is fifth in the country in yards per game, or is it wide receiver, Freddie Barnes, who leads the country in receptions and touchdowns. To help you decide, each candidate has five arguments on why you should vote for them.

Tyler Sheehan• Is fifth in the country with 305.3 yards per game.• This season alone is averaging a touchdown pass every 22.9 pass attempts and throws an interception every 88.0 pass attempts.• Is having his best year statistically in almost every category: yards (3,664), touchdowns (23) and pass efficiency (134.8).• Has eight 300-yard passing games and owns the school record for yards in a single game, with 505 yards versus Kent State.• Has a chance to become the all-time school recorder holder for yards passing in a season. Sheehan’s 3,664 yards trails only Josh Harris (3,813 yards) and Omar Jacobs, who posted 4,002 yards in 2004.

Freddie Barnes• Was a Biletnikoff Finalist and a first-team All-American honor by the FWAA.• Is the nation’s leader in receptions (138) and touchdowns (16) and is third in yards (1,551).• Had 22 catches for 278 yards and three touchdowns versus Kent State. His 22 catches were one shy of the NCAA record.• Has eight games in 2009 with at least 10 catches.• Has eight games of over 100 yards receiving and has gone over the 150-yard mark five times.

WWW.FREDDIEBARNES.COMThe Bowling Green State University athletic department launched www.freddiebarnes.com on Monday (Oct. 12) to help promote one of the nation’s leading wide receivers in catches (138), yards (1,551) and touchdowns (16).

QB Tyler Sheehan WR Freddie Barnes


BARNES NAMED FINALIST FOR BILETNIKOFF AWARD AND EARNS FWAA FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICA HONORSBowling Green State University senior Freddie Barnes did not win the Biletnikoff Award (Notre Dame’s Golden Tate did), but what he accomplished in 2009 can not be over looked

Barnes currently leads the country in receptions (138), receptions per game (11.5) and touch-downs (16). The senior has eight double-digit reception performances, has gone over the 100-yard mark eight times and has six games of at least two touchdowns. For his efforts the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) named Barnes to its All-America First-Team.

Barnes, one of five captains on the 2009 Falcons’ squad, currently has seven straight games in which he scored a touchdown.

Big plays have been a huge factor in Barnes’ success as well, having caught five receptions over 50 yards, and has 22 catches of 20 yards or more in 2009.

The Chicago Heights, Ill., native’s 138 catches are tied for third all-time in the history of the NCAA, four receptions shy of the NCAA mark of 142, held by Manny Hazard (Hous-ton), established in 1989. His 11.5 receptions per game is the fifth-highest average ever by a NCAA wide receiver and has 31 more catches than his nearest competitor.

TAKE ME TO yOUR LEADER The Falcon air attack has always had its pilot in Tyler Sheehan, but there is no question who the co-pilot is in 2009. Wide receiver Freddie Barnes, who has 138 catches in 2009, currently has a stranglehold atop the nation’s leaderboard in catches, and in fact it’s not even close right now.

2009 noteS


HELPS WHEN yOU SET A NEW SCHOOL RECORD, THREE TIMES Obviously, when a player has 138 catches in a single season he is posting some serious num-bers. Well, when it comes to Freddie Barnes, he is doing just that. After posting just 40 recep-tions in 2008 due to injuries, most expected Barnes to return to his 82 reception performance from 2007, but no one could have predicted this.

In 2002 Robert Redd had 14 catches versus Northern Illinois, a mark that most felt would be tough to beat (Corey Partridge matched the 14 catches in 2006 versus Toledo). To open 2009 Barnes caught a school record 15 catches in a win over Troy, a record most believed would once again be tough to beat. That record stood for two weeks before Barnes posted 17 catches at Marshall, establishing a new BGSU record. Just when you thought that was a untouchable number, Barnes had an incredible performance, hauling in 22 catches at Kent

State.

NCAA RECORD BREAKER? Freddie Barnes, who is currently averaging 11.5 catches a game, is currently on pace to fin-ish 2009 with 150 catches, which would set a new NCAA record, held since 1989 by Manny Hazard (Houston) with 142.

THE COMEBACK KIDQB Tyler Sheehan has five fourth quarter comebacks in BGSU career.

Sept. 1, 2007 -- Trailing 24-21 with 2:12 to go in the Falcons’ season opener versus Min-nesota (2007) Sheehan drove the Falcons down the field, completing five passes to get the Falcons a 35-yard field goal attempt, which Sinisa Vrvilo made. In overtime, following a Minnesota touchdown, Shee-han found Marques Parks for a nine-yard score to pull the Falcons to within one. Sheehan then completed a two-point conversion to Freddie Barnes for a 32-31 OT win over the Gophers.

Nov. 9, 2007 -- Versus Eastern Michigan the Falcons trailed 32-31 with 6:15 to go in the fourth quarter. Sheehan and the Falcons drove 61 yards for a BGSU touchdown in 2:21, while never forcing themselves into a third down.

Oct. 11, 2008 -- Trailing Akron 33-28 with 7:41 remaining in the game Sheehan and the Fal-cons marched 74 yards in seven plays capped by a Sheehan to Corey Partridge 21-yard touch-down with just under five min-utes to play to take a 34-33 lead, a contest they would eventually win 37-33.

Oct. 10, 2009 -- Versus Kent State and the Falcons trail-ing 35-23 with 4:42 remaining, Tyler Sheehan first hooked up with Freddie Barnes on a 45-yard touchdown to get the Fal-cons to within 35-30. After a three-and-out Sheehan and the Falcons took over at the BG26 yardline with 3:12 remaining. The senior led the Falcons on a 14 play, 74 yard drive, capped by a Sheehan 9-yard touch-down run with just five seconds remaining. In all, Sheehan was 17-of-24 for 197 yards in the fourth quarter alone.

Nov. 3, 2009 -- Trailing 29-16 entering the fourth quar-ter, Sheehan and the Falcons scored 14 unanswered points in the game’s final 10 minutes to squaek out a 30-29 road win versus Buffalo. Sheehan called his own number on a four yard touchdown run to get the Falcons to within six at 29-23 and then drove the Falcons 75 yards on 11 plays (drive started with 2:59 on the clock), capped by an 18-yard touchdown pass to Freddie Barnes with 39 seconds remaining in the contest.

2009 noteS


MOvING ON UP When marching up a record book like Freddie Barnes is doing, 138 catches for 1,551 yards in a season will help out in a hurry. The senior, who began 2009 with 142 career receptions for 1,520 yards, has climbed from 11th all-time all the way to the top of the BGSU in the record books for catches in a career and began the year 17th in career receiving yards and has moved all the way up to second all-time.Career Receptions List1. Freddie Barnes (2005-PR) .. 2802. Charles Sharon (2002-05) ....... 2323. Cole Magner (2001-04) ........... 2154. Robert Redd (1998-02) ........... 2115. Mark Szlachcic (1989-92) ....... 182

THERE ARE OTHER WIDE RECEIvERS TOO While Freddie Barnes has been getting most of the attention, other Falcon pass catchers are putting up some solid numbers in 2009. Sophomore Adrian Hodges is second on the team with 45 catches, 410 yards and two touchdowns. Chris Wright is third on the team with 39 grabs for 510 yards and one score after recording just 22 grabs for 249 yards last season.

CINCINNATI KID Tyler Sheehan, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, could be closing in on several single season records by the end of the year. Sheehan, who has thrown for 3,664 yards on 340-of-528 passes, is currently on pace to throw for 3,969 yards on 368-of-572 passing. He has already become the school record holder for completions and attempts in a season (Josh Harris was the previous record holder, completing 325 of 494 pass). Sheehan trails just Harris (3,813) and Omar Jacobs (4,002) for the most yards in a single season.

SHEEHAN STREAKING Tyler Sheehan has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 21 straight games, dating back to Sept. 13, 2008 when Boise State shut him out. His current 21 game streak is third-best in the country, behind just Colt McCoy (29 games) and Casey Keenum (28 games). In his 37 career starts he has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 34 of those games.

MORE GOOD STREAKING Sheehan, who has thrown only six interceptions in 528 passes this year is currently on a streak of 112 passes without throwing an interception. His last pick came on the last play of the third quarter versus Buffalo (Nov. 3). Since then he has thrown 16 passes versus the Bulls, 33 versus Miami, 32 versus Akron and 31 versus Toledo without giving it to the other team.

IF SHEEHAN WERE A BOWLER... Tyler Sheehan came into 2009 with just two career 300-yard games, despite throwing for over 6,000 yards his first two years as a Falcon. Through 12 games this season he has eight 300-yard games, including six of his last eight contests. Sheehan opened the year with 339 yards versus Troy. He also had over 300 yards versus Marshall (383), Ohio (390), Kent State (505), Ball State (376), Central Michigan (341), Buffalo (313) and Akron (338).

SPEAKING OF 300-yARD GAMES Tyler Sheehan is one of just three quarterbacks in BGSU history to have at least 10, 300-yard games in their career. Omar Jacobs and Brian McClure are tops on that list with 12, followed by Sheehan. Josh Harris had six in his career and Rich Dackin had six 300 yard games in 1989. Jacobs had eight of his 12 games in 2004, meaning Sheehan has a chance to break another school record this week. Another 300-yard performance from Sheehan would give him nine 300-yard games this season, the most ever in a single season by a BGSU quar-terback.

STAyING ACTIvE Tyler Sheehan, who will be making his 38th con-secutive start, has put up some huge numbers in his career, and in fact, very few quarterbacks have done it better. Below are just a few of how Shee-han ranks among active NCAA leaders.• Ranks fifth in pass attempts (1,447)• Fifth in completions (933)• Ninth in yards (9,730)• 12th in passing touchdowns (66)• 12th in completions percentage (64.5)• 11th in touchdowns responsible for (83)• 12th in total yards (10,123)

SIMPLy THE BESTRoger Williams became the all-time leader for kick returns and kick return yards earlier this year. Wil-liams, who suffered a broken finger early in 2008 was limited as a return man, but made a name for himself in 2007 when he set school records in re-turns (39) and yards (954), while also returning a kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown in the GMAC Bowl, the first-ever in that bowl’s history.

BELIEvE IT OR NOTConventional wisdom says that a strong running game is the way to control the clock, but believe it or not BGSU ranks second in the MAC and 23rd nationally in time of possession. The Falcons, who throw it more than any other team in the league, are controlling the ball for 31:27 a game.

GET OFF THE FIELD Helping with that strong time of possession is the defense’s ability to get stops on third down. BGSU ranks third in the MAC and 33rd in the country in opponent third down conversions (35.8 percent). In fact, when you look at the numbers even closer the Falcon defense has been extremely effective on third downs longer than three yards. Over-all, when the opponent has to get three or fewer yards for a first down they have been successful 64.3 percent of the time. On all other third downs the Falcons have allowed just 29 first downs on 118 attempts (24.6%) when the yardage to get is at least four yards.

Head Coach

Dave Clawson became the 17th head football coach at Bowl-ing Green State University on Dec. 12, 2008.

Clawson brings 20 years of coaching expe-rience, includ-ing nine years

of head coaching experience, most recently at Richmond (2004-07) and Fordham (1999-2003), where he combined for a 58-49 record. In 2007 he led the Richmond Spiders to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision semifinals.

This past season Clawson helped lead the Falcons to a 7-5 overall and a 6-2 MAC record as well as advancing to the 2009 Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho. He helped coach four offensive players to All-MAC status, including quarterback Tyler Sheehan, who posted career-highs in yards (3,664) and touchdowns (23) and wide receiver Freddie Barnes, who led the nation in receptions (138) and touch-downs (16), while earning a trip to the ESPN Awards Show as a Biletnikoff finalist, given to the nation’s most outstanding college wide receiver.

Clawson twice has been named national Division I-AA Coach of the Year, winning once at Fordham and once at Richmond, and was named his league’s coach of the year four times in a seven-year span. In 2005 and 2007, the Richmond Touchdown Club selected him College Coach of the Year, and he was an Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award finalist in 2002 and 2005.

His two head coaching jobs resurrected first Fordham, boosting a Rams program coming off 12 straight losing seasons into NCAA playoff participants, and then Richmond, which twice advanced to the postseason. Before that, Clawson called the offensive plays for another pair of Division I-AA powerhouses in Lehigh and Villanova.

Quarterback development and pro production have been Clawson staples. Eight times in his 14 years as either an offensive coordinator or head coach, Clawson’s quarterbacks earned all-conference honors. In addition, NFL regulars such as two-time 1,000-yard rusher Brian Westbrook (Eagles), receiver Brian Finneran (Falcons), tailbacks Rabih Abdullah (Buccaneers, Bears and Patriots) and Tim Hightower (Cardinals), quarterbacks Stacey Tutt (Jets) and Kevin Eakin (Bills), and defensive lineman Aki Jones (Redskins) played for Clawson.

In 1998 he accepted the head coaching position at Fordham, where he became the youngest Division I head coach in the nation (31). His 19 combined victories during his final two years (2002-03) at Ford-ham were the most wins there in back-to-back seasons since 1918-19.

Then he guided Richmond to the biggest two-year turnaround in Spider football’s 124-year history, improving from 3-8 his first season of 2004 to 9-4 and an NCAA playoff berth the following year.

A native of Youngstown, N.Y., located on the shores of Lake Ontario just 30 minutes north of Buffalo, Clawson played defensive back in football and also basketball at Williams College in Massachusetts. He graduated in 1989, and then began a two-year assistant coaching stop at Albany. From there, he coached two years at Buffalo and three at Lehigh, including his first two years, 1994-95, as an offensive coordinator.

Clawson then was named offensive coordinator at Villanova, where he helped establish 70 school re-cords and led the Wildcats to the I-AA playoffs in 1996 and 1997. Under Clawson’s tutelage, receiver Brian Finneran won the Walter Payton Award, given to I-AA’s most outstanding player, and running back Brian Westbrook became the first student-athlete in NCAA history to gain more than 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in a season.

Clawson and his wife, Catherine, are the parents of two children, Courtney and Eric.

Ruggiero spent the past season coaching quarterback Josh Freeman, who declared early for the 2009 NFL draft. Freeman was selected with the 17th pick in the draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

It won’t be the first time Ruggiero helped coach a player to the NFL. In 2005 he coached future New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston, who was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team that next season.

Ruggiero brings 21 years of coaching experience to the Falcons, including two as a head coach and 16 years as an offensive coordinator at some of the best offenses in the country. Under his guidance as a coordinator his offenses have finished in the top 10 statistically on 10 different occasions.

ADAM SCHEIERSPECIAL TEAMS/TEDARTMOUTH, 1995FIRST SEASON

Adam Scheier begins his first year with Bowling Green State University. He will coach the special teams and tight ends for the Orange and Brown.

In his first year at the helm of the Falcon special teams, Scheier’s unit blocked four punts. He also helped coach tight end Jimmy Scheidler, who was named to the All-MAC Second-Team.

Scheier, who spent the last seven seasons overseeing the special teams units at Lehigh, was also responsible for the wide receivers position the last four years, in an offensive system much like Coach Clawson will implement for the Falcons. Scheier also spent three seasons as Lehigh’s running backs coach.

This past season Lehigh wide receivers finished with the top two spots on the team’s reception list, led by Mike Fitzgerald, who had 51 catches, includ-ing 11 touchdowns.

In 2007, the Mountain Hawk receivers helped Lehigh average over 200 re-ceiving yards per game, while seven players hauled in a touchdown reception, and seven different receivers caught at least ten passes. 2005’s receiving corps – under the direction of Scheier for the first time – was one of Lehigh’s best in recent memory. Four players amassed over 300 receiving yards, and 11 different players caught a touchdown pass. The special teams units have been consistently productive under the direc-tion of Scheier. In 2008, kicker Jason Leo connected on 8-of-13 field goal attempts, while averaging 43.0 yards per punt. Lehigh’s punt unit finished both the 2008 and 2007 seasons ranked third in the nation in net punting. During his career, Leo became one of 10 football players in league history to earn four consecutive all-league honors. Leo’s recognition marked the ninth straight year as a special teams coordinator that Scheier has mentored a kicker or punter to all-league status, a group that includes three All-American nods. In addition, Lehigh’s kickoff return unit has led the league and ranked in the top 15 nationally three times in the last four years and Scheier has coached punt return units to top 15 finishes three times in his years as a coordinator. Scheier came to Lehigh after spending two years at Princeton as the special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach. Prior to his stint at Princeton, Scheier spent three years as an assistant at Columbia, coaching the strong safeties and outside linebackers. He began his coaching career at Dart-mouth, assisting with the secondary in 1996 after earning four varsity letters as a free safety for the Big Green and being awarded the special teams player of the year award as a senior. Scheier earned a bachelor degree in psychology at Dartmouth and a masters in education at Columbia. Scheier and his wife Erica have three daughters, Callie (8), Riley (7), and Madeline (5), and one son, Brady (3).

BGsu noTes • Game ReCapsGame #1

Troy 14 @ Bowling Green 31Bowling Green, Ohio• Doyt L. Perry Stadium

Notes vs. Troy• As mentioned, Freddie Barnes set the school record for receptions in a game, with 15 ... he broke the Perry Stadium record (13 receptions by Mark Dowdell vs. Central Michigan, 1983) in the third quarter, then tied the over-all school record later in the same drive.

• The old school mark of 14 catches in a game was set by Robert Redd (vs. Northern Illinois in 2002) and tied by Corey Partridge (vs. Toledo in 2006) ... Barnes made his 15th catch of the game early in the fourth quarter.

• In addition to his receptions total, Barnes also set a personal career best in receiving yards, with 157 ... his previous best was 113, in the 2007 win at Buffalo ... Barnes tied his career high with two TD catches (the 2007 Temple game).

• The Falcons were a perfect 3-for-3 on fourth-down conversions, while Troy was 0-of-3 on the night ... the teams were an identical 4-of-13 on third-down conversions.

• BGSU was also perfect in trips to the red zone, scoring on 3-of-3 oppor-tunities ... the Trojans were 2-of-4 in red-zone scores-chances.

• The Falcons had the ball for 34:39 of the game’s 60 minutes ... in the second half, BG dominated the time-of-possession battle, holding the ball for 20:25 compared to Troy’s 9:35.

• Tyler Sheehan had the third 300-yard game of his BGSU career ... his career best came in another season-opening win, as he had 388 yards in the OT win at Minnesota two years ago.

• Sheehan’s completion total fell just two shy of his career best ... he had 34 in that same win over the Golden Gophers in ‘07.

Tyler Sheehan threw for 339 yards and two scores, while senior Freddie Barnes added a school record 15 catches for 157 yards and two touchdowns as the Falcons scored 31 unanswered points to top the Troy Trojans 31-14 to open the 2009 season.

Behind first-year head coach Dave Clawson, the Falcons surrendered a 14-0 deficit early in the second quarter, but touchdowns by Barnes in the second and third quarter, followed by a Jerry Phillips field goal in the fourth gave the Falcons the lead for good.

After allowing 210 yards of offense in the first half, BGSU surrendered just 94 yards and four first downs in the game’s final 30 minutes.

Chris Bullock added a one-yard plunge midway through the final quarter and sophomore Adrien Spencer returned a 64 yard interception for a score with just over two minutes remaining to cap the scoring.

• Jimmy Scheidler tied his career best with four receptions, and had a career-high 72 yards ... he shattered his previous best of 47 receiving yards in last year’s Kent State game ... as mentioned, his 40-yard catch was a career long.

• Tyrone Pronty tied his career best with six receptions ... he also caught six passes in last year’s game at Boise State.

• Jerry Phillips connected on the first field goal of his collegiate career, hitting a 21-yarder in the fourth quarter to break a 14-all tie ... Phillips also was a perfect 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts.

• No first-year Falcon head coach has lost his opening game since Harry Ockerman in 1935 ... BG bosses are 9-0-1 since then, including Robert Whittaker (1941), Doyt Perry (1955), Bob Gibson (1965), Don Nehlen (1968), Denny Stolz (1977), Moe Ankney (1986), Gary Blackney (1991), Urban Meyer (2001), Gregg Brandon (2003) and Dave Clawson ... in case you were wondering, the tie came under Whittaker in ‘41.

• Roger Williams had a pretty good night ... he led the team in tackles, with a career-high 10, and had his first career interception.

• Additionally, Williams became BGSU’s all-time leader in kickoff return yards ... he entered the game needing only nine yards to pass Reggie Thorn-ton (1,222 yards from 1986-89), and had a total of 61 KOR yards in the game ... Williams now has a career total of 1,275 yards.

• Barnes moved up several spots on the BGSU list for career receptions ... he passed Kurt Gerling (152 catches from 1998-2001) and Steve Sanders (156 from 2002-05) to move into eighth place on that list ... Barnes needs just one reception to tie Thornton for seventh place.

Bowling Green 20 at #25 Missouri 27Columbia, Mo. • Faurot Field

The Bowling Green State University football team surrendered 21 unan-swered points to fall 27-20 versus Missouri in Columbia, Mo., in front of 65,401.

BGSU (1-1) got on the scoreboard first as senior quarterback Tyler Shee-han led the Falcons on a 10 play 80 yard drive, capped by a 12-yard score from Sheehan to Ray Hutson in the first quarter. It was Hutson’s first career touchdown.

Two plays following the BGSU score MU’s Blaine Gabbert fumbled the ball as senior captain Cody Basler was bringing him down. Carlos Tipton recovered the fumble and spotted the Falcons the ball at the MU 22-yard-line. The Falcons could only gain three yards on as many plays but Jerry Phillips banged in a 37-yard field goal to spot the Orange and Brown a 10-0 lead and added a 32-yard kick early in the second quarter for a 13-0 Falcon advantage.

The Falcon defense, which played stellar throughout most of the game, held MU’s Gabbert to a modest day connecting on 20 of 33 pass for 172 yards, keeping the Tigers out of the end zone for the entire first half. MU’s only points came on field goals of 38 and 46 yards.

BGSU opened the second half with an 11 play, 73 yard drive, capped by a one-yard score from Willie Geter to give the Falcons a 20-6 lead with 9:44 remaining in the third quarter. Geter finished the day with 99 yards on the ground.

Notes vs. Missouri• The Falcons now own a 3-2 all-time series advantage over Missouri, but had their two game win streak snapped over the Tigers.

• Freddie Barnes had a game-high 10 catches and now has 25 receptions in his first two contests of 2009. The senior had only 40 catches in 2008.

• Geter had his third most productive game of his career, finishing with 99 yards on 20 carries. Geter had 202 yards versus Kent State in 2007 and 161 yards last season versus Toledo.

• With Tyrone Pronty suffering an injury last week versus Troy, someone had to step up and it looks like Chris Wright has grabbed the opportunity. The senior finished second on the team with seventh catches for 57 yards.

• P.J. Mahone led BGSU with 13 tackles, one shy of his career-high of 14, set versus EMU in 2008.

• Neal Dahlman and Carlos Tipton each recorded a fumble recovery, the first of their careers.

Game #3at Marshall 17, BGSU 10

Huntington W. Va. • Joan C. Edwards Stadium

Huntington, W. Va. - Freddie Barnes broke his own school record with 17 receptions but the Bowling Green football team lost to Marshall 17-10 Saturday evening at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.

Tyler Sheehan was 43-of-62 for 383 yards and Barnes had 109 yards receiv-ing but the Falcons were unable to put points on the board on a couple of long drives. Sheehan completed a 50-yard pass to Chris Wright in the second quarter that gave Bowling Green a 7-0 halftime lead.

Marshall tied the score on an 11-yard Antavio Wilson touchdown reception with 5:49 to play in the third and got an 80-yard Darius Marshall touch-down scamper with 10:29 to go in the fourth to take a 14-7 lead. Marshall’s Craig Ratanamorn added a 31-yard field goal with 8:46 to play and Bowling Green’s Jerry Phillips made a 30-yard kick with 3:19 left to make it 17-10.

Bowling Green had one last chance, driving inside Marshall’s 20-yard line with under a minute to play, but a failed hook-and-ladder play on fourth-and-21 gave Marshall the win.

Marshall improves to 2-1 with the win and Bowling Green falls to 1-2. The Falcons will return home to host No. 10 Boise State Saturday night at 7 p.m.

Boise State University exploded for 29 second-quarter points to break open a scoreless game, en route to a 49-14 win over the Bowling Green State University football team.

After a scoreless first quarter, Boise got on the board on the first play of the second period, on an 18-yard run by Titus Young. Then, the Broncos scored two touchdowns within an 18-second span to take a 22-0 lead with 12:27 left before halftime.

Boise led by a 29-0 score at the intermission, and built the lead to 43-0 before the Falcons scored back-to-back touchdowns in the third quarter.

Falcon quarterback Tyler Sheehan found Adrian Hodges for a seven-yard score to get BG on the board midway through the period, and Sheehan scrambled for a six-yard TD of his own late in the quarter.

BSU quarterback Kellen Moore completed 17-of-21 passes for 247 yards and a pair of scores. The Broncos had 267 rushing yards and 262 passing yards for the game. Doug Martin led the ground attack with 116 yards, while Jeremy Avery added 92. Both players had one rushing score.

Hodges led the Falcon receivers with six catches for 58 yards and the TD. BGSU possessed the ball for 34:11 to Boise’s 24:51, but six of the Bron-cos’ seven scoring drives took less than two minutes.

Notes vs. Boise State• Boise State is the highest-ranked team ever to play in Doyt L. Perry Stadium ... the Broncos entered the game ranked No. 8 in the nation in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls this week ... prior to Saturday night, the last time a ranked opponent came to BG was on Oct. 25, 2003 ... on that date, the Falcons - who were also nationally ranked - defeated No. 12 Northern Illinois, 34-18.

• No fewer than six live broadcast media outlets were at The Doyt on Saturday night ... on the radio side, Todd Walker, John Gibson and the Falcon Radio Network called the game, as always ...

• Saturday’s game marked the third time the Falcons and Broncos have met, but the first time they have played in BG ... in fact, it marked Boise State’s first-ever trip to the state of Ohio ... the teams had met twice in Boise, with the Broncos picking up wins by the scores of 48-20 in 2005 and 20-7 last season.



Game #5Ohio 44 at BGSU 37

Bowling Green, Ohio. • Doyt Perry Stadium

Quarterback Tyler Sheehan threw for a career-high 390 yards, but it wasn’t enough as the Falcons fell to the Ohio Bobcats 44-37.

Ohio led 44-30 midway through the final quarter but a BGSU touchdown from Justus Jones cut that lead in half with 3:41 remaining.

Following an OU three-and-out Freddie Barnes returned the punt 54 yards down to the Ohio-14 with 1:40 remaining. After a pair of incompletitions and a Sheehan scramble for eight yards, the stage was set for the game’s deciding play.

Facing an all-out blitz by Ohio, Sheehan found Freddie Barnes on a quick slant, but Barnes could not come up with the intial grab, but after the foot-ball went off of Barnes’ hands and two different OU defenders, Barnes had one last dive to get the ball, but came up inches short.

BGSU’s Jerry Phillips connected on all tree of his field goals and Willie geter had 70 yards on the ground to lead the Falcons.

Notes vs. Ohio• Tyler Sheehan threw for a career-high 390 yards vs. the Bobcats Satur-day ... his previous best was 388 yards in the Falcons’ win at Minnesota two years ago (Sept. 1, 2007).

• Sheehan has moved into second place on the BGSU career list for passing yards ... he now has 7,521 yards through the air in his career, moving past Josh Harris ... Harris had 7,503 yards from 2000-03 ... Brian McClure (1982-85) holds the school record with 10,280 passing yards.

• Sheehan’s second TD pass on Saturday was the 50th of his career ... he is just the fourth QB in school history to throw 50 career touchdown passes ... Omar Jacobs (2003-05) holds that record, with 71, followed by McClure (63) and Harris (55).

• Freddie Barnes had a pair of punt returns for a total of 71 yards ... en-tering the game, he had career totals of two punt returns for 15 yards ... he had BGSU’s longest punt return of the season with a 17-yard return early in the fourth quarter, then shattered that mark with his 54-yarder in the game’s final minutes.

• Barnes, the national leader in pass receptions, caught seven more balls from Tyler Sheehan Saturday ... through five games, Barnes now has 53 catches.

• Barnes had a two-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter ... that was his 10th touchdown run as a Falcon, but his first since the 2006 sea-son ... Barnes ran for nine touchdowns that season, with the last coming on Oct. 19, 2006, vs. Central Michigan.

• In his career, Barnes now has 23 total touchdowns -- 10 rushing and 13 receiving ... he leads active Falcons with 140 career points.

• Jerry Phillips had a total of 13 points in the game, the most of his ca-reer ... Phillips was a perfect 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and went 4-for-4 on extra points ... he entered the game with 21 points on the season.

Tyler Sheehan and Freddie Barnes hooked up for a record-breaking perfor-mance as the Bowling Green football team came from behind to stun Kent State 36-35 Saturday afternoon at Dix Stadium.

Sheehan set school records for completions, attempts, and passing yards by going 44-for-63 for 505 yards, while Barnes broke his own receptions record and set a new receiving yardage standard with an eye-popping 22 catches for 278 yards, adding three touchdowns. Sheehan threw for four touchdowns and rushed for the game-winner with five seconds remaining.

Kent State had the ball and a 35-23 lead with under five minutes remain-ing but, after punting, Barnes turned in a whirling dervish of a 45-yard touchdown reception, breaking four tackles and weaving through defenders to score with 4:29 left.

With the score 35-30, Kent State went three-and-out and punted back to Bowling Green. Willie Geter fumbled the punt return but the ball bounced right to Barnes, who recovered to give the Falcons possession at the BG 26-yard line.

Sheehan methodically drove the Falcons down the field but it appeared that the drive might stall when Bowling Green faced a third-and-goal from the nine-yard line with 11 seconds left. Head Coach Dave Clawson dialed up a risky quarterback sneak and Sheehan powered his way the final two yards into the end zone to give the Falcons the win.

Notes vs. Kent State• The win gave Bowling Green a 1-0 lead in the Centennial Cup race over Kent State. • The fourth quarter comeback was Tyler Sheehan’s fourth of his career and first since Oct. 11, 2008. With The Falcons trailing 28-17 entering the fourth quarter Sheehan was 17-of-24 for 197 yards and two touchdowns. He also added the game-winning nine-yard touchdown run with five sec-onds remaining in the contest. • Tyler Sheehan and Freddie Barnes both had career-high games on Satur-day night in Dix Stadium. Sheehan set school records in pass attempts (63) completions (44) and yards (505). He also matched his career-best with four passing touchdowns and added a rushing touchdown, his first five-touchdown game of his career. • Barnes, who caught half of Sheehans’ completions, finished the game with school records in receptions (22) and yards (278). It was the third time in 2009 where Barnes broke the school record for catches in a game. In the season opener he posted 15 catches versus Troy and added 17 catches at Marshall. Barnes has now has 75 receptions in six games, which leads the NCAA. He added a career-high three touchdowns, second-most in school history. • Those 75 receptions rank fifth in the BGSU record books for catches in a season. Cole Magner is the current record holder with 99 grabs in 2003.

• Barnes’ 22 catches were also a new Dix Stadium record, held previously by KSU’s Eugene Baker in 1997 … continuing with Barnes’ big numbers, his 22 catches are one shy on the NCAA record of 23, held by three differ-ent players. • Barnes has also made another major jump in the all-time reception list in BGSU history. The Chicago Heights, Ill., native began the day with 195 career receptions, fourth-best in school history, has pasted Robert Redd (211) and Cole Magner (215) on that list and now sits second in school history with 217 receptions. Charles Sharon is first in BGSU history with 232 catches. • Obviously Sheehan’s 505 passing yards are a new career-high and school record. The previous school record holder, Brian McClure, recorded 479 yards set versus Ohio in 1985. It was the second time in two weeks where Sheehan set new career-bests, throwing for 390 yards last week versus Ohio. That’s 895 passing yards in the last two games for the senior from Cincinnati, Ohio, the most ever in school history for a quarterback in back-to-back games. • Sheehan threw an interception late in the third quarter, snapping a streak of 101 pass attempts without throwing an interception. • Nick Rieke had his first career reception, an 11-yard gain. • Jordon Roussos recorded his first career sack.

The Bowling Green State University football team rolled to a 24-point halftime lead en route to a 31-17 win over Ball State University.

Quarterback Tyler Sheehan threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns, with 299 of those yards coming in the first half. Freddie Barnes, the nation’s leading receiver, had 10 catches for 160 yards, and was on the other end of all three scoring passes.

BGSU took a 24-0 lead into the half, and Chris Bullock added a 26-yard run for the Falcons’ final touchdown of the game.

The Cardinals got a pair of second-half scores on the ground, from Eric Wil-liams, but never crept closer than the final 14-point margin.

The Falcons had two 100-yard receivers in the first half alone, as Chris Wright had all six of his catches and all 104 of his yards before the intermission. Barnes had eight first-half catches for 140 yards before halftime.

The Falcons had a 24-18 advantage in first downs and a 455-404 edge in total yardage. BG had 324 yards in the opening half, while holding Ball State to only 128 yards in the first 30 minutes of play.

Sheehan finished with 28 completions in 41 attempts for those 376 yards. He had the three TDs and did not throw an interception. In fact, the Falcons did not have a turnover in the game.

Notes versus Ball State• After recording 22 catches for 278 yards and three touchdowns last week-end versus Ohio, Freddie Barnes added 10 grabs for 160 yards and another three touchdowns in the win over Ball State. In his last two week Barnes has posted 32 receptions for 438 yards and six touchdowns. • With the help of back-to-back weeks with a career-high three touch-downs, Barnes now has 19 touchdown receptions as a Falcon, sixth-best in the BGSU record books. Combined with his 10 career rushing touch-downs, Barnes has 29 scores, also sixth at BGSU. Barnes also ranks sixth in receiving yards with 2,402. • Continuing with the Barnes love, he now has 85 catches on the season, which is second most by a Falcon in a season. Cole Magner owns the school record with 99 grabs in 2003. • For more on Barnes visit www.freddiebarnes.com. • The Falcon offense has scored 104 points in the last three games, while averaging 492.3 yards of offense. • A major reason for the offensive output has been the play of senior quarterback Tyler Sheehan, who has completed 100 of his last 156 passes for 1,217 yards (423.7/game) and nine touchdowns.

• Sheehan completed 28 of 41 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Cardinals. Sheehan now has 57 career touchdown passes, third-best in school history. • Freshman Jerry Phillips connected on a 44-yard field in the second quar-ter, the longest of his career. • Senior Chris Bullock, on his lone carry of the game, scampered in for a 26-yard touchdown, the Falcons’ longest run of 2009. • Keith Morgan and Darius Smith recorded career-highs in tackles. Mor-gan had a team-high 11, while Smith added eight, including his first career sack. • Roger Williams had his second career interception.



Game #8CMU 24, BGSU 10

Bowling Green, Ohio • Doyt Perry Stadium

Visiting Central Michigan University remained undefeated in conference play with a workmanlike 24-10 victory over the Bowling Green State Uni-versity football team.

Central had a narrow margin in total offense, with 406 yards to the Falcons’ 363. BG had 343 yards passing to the Chippewas’ 147 on the day. But, the visitors had 259 rushing yards, while holding the Falcons to just 20 yards on the ground.

The Falcon defense held the nation’s 15th-ranked offense (in terms of points per game) to 10 points under its average. But, the Chippewas were a perfect 3-for-3 in red-zone offense, while the Falcons scored on only one of five trips inside the red zone.

BGSU’s Tyler Sheehan threw for 341 yards on the day, completing 35 passes in 55 attempts. Barnes, as usual, had a double-digit receiving total, with 14 catches for 172 yards on the day. Jimmy Scheidler and Adrian Hodges had five catches apiece.

CMU quarterback Dan LeFevour threw for 147 yards and a pair of touch-downs, while rushing for 128 yards on the day. LeFevour led all players in carries (22) and yards on the ground.

The Bowling Green football team came back from a 13-point second half deficit to keep its postseason hopes alive with a 30-29 win over Buffalo Tuesday night on a game seen nationally on ESPN2. Freddie Barnes caught a touchdown pass from Tyler Sheehan with 39 seconds remaining to give the Falcons the win.

Barnes, who is a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award as one of the top wide receivers in the country, got his chance to shine on national television and he did not disappoint. He entered the game leading the nation in recep-tions and receiving yards and he finished with eight catches for 122 yards and the game-winning touchdown, which moved him into a tie for most receiving scores in the country.

Along the way, the Bowling Green special teams came up with two blocked punts that helped the Falcons’ cause. The first one was recovered at the one-yard line and led to the Falcons’ first score of the game, while the second one sparked Bowling Green’s comeback. With Buffalo clinging to a 29-17 lead, P.J. Mahone blocked a punt early in the fourth quarter and the Orange and Brown scored 2:56 later to cut the deficit to 29-23.

Bowling Green forced a 3-and-out following that touchdown and drove inside Buffalo’s five-yard line but Sheehan’s fourth down pass was knocked down and the Falcons still trailed with 8:09 left.

Buffalo’s next drive resulted in three first downs and the Bulls ran the clock down to under three minutes before punting away. A 15-yard kick catching interference penalty gave the Falcons the ball at their own 25 with 2:59 left.

Sheehan calmly drove BG 75 yards in the next 140 seconds, completing a pair of 3rd-and-10’s, eventually driving the offense inside Buffalo’s 10-yard line. A holding penalty pushed Bowling Green back to the 18, but that’s when Sheehan found Barnes streaking to the back corner of the end zone for the winning score.

Notes vs. Buffalo* On the Falcons’ last offensive play of the game, an 18-yard touchdown pass to Freddie Barnes, kept Tyler Sheehan’s touchdown streak alive, and has now thrown at least one touchdown pass in 11 straight games, includ-ing the final two games of 2008. * That same touchdown was Barnes’ 10th of the season. He now leads the country with 107 receptions, 1,176 yards and those 10 scores. Barnes is now 35 receptions shy of the NCAA record of 142 grabs in a season. * Those 107 receptions are also a new Mid-American Conference record for catches in a season. The previous-best was held by Dante Ridgeway, who recorded 105 receptions in 2004. * Barnes also climbed up the career MAC reception leaderboard, and is now tied for sixth all-time with 249 career catches. * Sheehan completed 22-of-40 passes for 313 yards, his fifth straight 300 yard passing game. It was also the signal-caller’s fifth fourth quarter

comeback of his career and second of 2009. In his final drive versus UB, Sheehan drove the Falcons 75 yards in 2:21 for the 30-29 win, complet-ing passes to five different wide receivers. * While Willie Geter had just 13 yards on the ground he did have his first multiple touchdown game of his career with the help of a pair of one-yard plunges. * P.J. Mahone returned to the team after missing six games, leading the squad with 10 tackles, but made an even bigger impact on special teams, blocking one punt and recovering both of the Falcon punt blocks of the night, setting up two BGSU touchdowns. * The BGSU defense gave up 302 yards of offense in the first half, but allowed just 109 yards of total offense in the final 30 minutes, including four straight 3-and-outs after the Falcons fell behind 29-16. The BGSU defense allowed no points and just 70 yards in the Bulls final six posses-sions. * Freshman Dwayne Woods had a career-high five tackles.

The Bowling Green State University football team held host Miami Univer-sity scoreless in the second half en route to a 35-14 win over the RedHawks Thursday night (Nov. 12). The Mid-American Conference game was held at Yager Stadium.

Freddie Barnes scored three touchdowns, catching two scoring passes from Tyler Sheehan and scoring on the ground as well. Barnes, the nation’s top receiver, had 10 catches for 109 yards on the evening.

Sheehan threw for 199 yards and three scores without an interception. He found Willie Geter on a 20-yard scoring play, in addition to scoring tosses of 59 and two yards to Barnes. Chris Bullock scored the Falcons’ final TD on a 13-yard run in the final quarter.

The Falcon defense kept the RedHawks off the scoreboard in the second half, enabling the BG offense to break a 14-all halftime tie. BG had six sacks of MU quarterback Zac Dysert, and the Falcons had five takeaways. Jerett Sanderson set the tone on the opening kickoff, forcing a fumble by MU re-turner Jamal Rogers. BGSU scored two plays later, on a 19-yard reverse by Barnes. Sheehan threw a key block on that scoring play, giving the Falcons the lead with only 42 seconds gone.

Miami, however, remained in the game, tying the contest at both 7-all and 14-14, and getting a stop in the red zone in the final minute of the first half.

But, early in the third quarter, a P.J. Mahone interception inside the Miami 20 led to the first Sheehan-to-Barnes connection of the night, giving the Falcons the lead for good.

The Falcons then forced Miami into three consecutive three-and-outs over the remainder of the third quarter, and BG took a two-score lead on Shee-han’s 20-yard pass to Geter late in the period.

The ‘Hawks picked up a pair of first downs on their initial drive of the fourth quarter, but James Schneider sacked Dysert, forcing the Miami QB to fumble, and the Brown and Orange recovered. BG could not capitalize on the turnover, but the Falcon defense forced MU to turn the ball over on downs on the next drive.

BGSU then proceeded to go on a six-play, 50-yard drive. Bullock got the call on all six plays, beginning the drive with a 24-yard run and ending it with a 13-yard rush to the end zone.

Trailing by a point at the half, the Bowling Green State University football team exploded for 27 second-half points en route to a 36-20 win over the University of Akron Friday night (Nov. 20). The Mid-American Confer-ence game was held at BGSU’s Perry Stadium.

Tyler Sheehan threw for 338 yards and two touchdowns, finding Freddie Barnes for both scores. Barnes had game-high totals of 12 receptions and 197 yards, scoring twice in the third quarter to help the Brown and Orange erase a 10-9 halftime deficit.

Willie Geter’s 4-yard run midway through the opening quarter gave the Falcons a 7-3 lead, but UA quarterback Patrick Nicely hit Jeremy Bruce for a 10-yard score halfway through the second period. That scoring play capped a 17-play, 86-yard drive that took a whopping 9:27.

The Zips stopped the Falcons on a fourth-and-goal play at the 1-yard line late in the period, but two plays later, BGSU’s Jahmal Brown and Adrien Spencer combined to tackle UA running back Broderick Alexander in the end zone for a safety.

In the third period, the Falcons took the kickoff and proceeded to put together a drive that lasted nearly half the quarter. That 14-play, 73-yard drive culminated in a touchdown, as Sheehan hit Barnes on a shovel pass for a four-yard score. That play gave the Falcons the lead for good.

After the Falcons forced a three-and-out, Sheehan connected with Barnes on a 53-yard play to open the next drive, and the duo hooked up on a 15-yard scoring play to give the Brown and Orange a 23-10 lead. Barnes made an acrobatic one-handed catch in the end zone.

Sheehan completed 23 of his 32 passes on the night, with Barnes catching 12. In the third quarter alone, Barnes had seven receptions for 116 yards and the two scores.

Bullock had a game-high 90 yards on the ground, including a 71-yard blast up the middle to enable BGSU to run out the clock.

Notes vs. Akron• Freddie Barnes continues his monster year, posting 12 catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns. It was the seventh time this year he has finished with at least 10 catches in a game and eighth time he has gone over the 100-yard plateau. • Barnes also extended his touchdown and 100-yard mark streak to six straight games. Alone in the third quarter Barnes had seven catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns. • Tyler Sheehan finished 23-of-32 for 338 yards and two touchdowns. It was the Cincinnati, Ohio, native’s eighth 300-yard game in 2009 and his 20th straight game with a touchdown pass, dating back to 2008, the third longest active streak in the NCAA. • Sheehan now has 914 career completions, the most in BGSU history.

Sheehan surpassed Brian McClure, who had 900 completions from 1982-85. The senior also has 64 career touchdown passes, second most in school history. • Jahmal Brown recorded a safety in the second quarter, the first Falcon to do so since Monte Cooley versus Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 11, 2004. • Roger Williams had four kick returns for 103 yards and now has over 2,000 career kick return yards, fourth-most in Mid-American Conference history. • Keith Morgan took an onside kick and returned it 41 yards for a touch-down, the Falcons’ first kick return for a touchdown since Roger Williams recorded a 78 yard touchdown on Jan. 6, 2008 in the 2008 GMAC Bowl. • Chris Bullock had a 71-yard run late in the fourth quarter, the second-longest run in school history that did not result in a touchdown.

The Bowling Green football team blocked two first-quarter punts and jumped out to a 24-0 lead before holding on to beat rival Toledo 38-24 Friday afternoon in Doyt Perry Stadium.

Willie Geter rushed for 114 yards and scored three touchdowns, salting the game away with a back-breaking 61-yard jaunt late in the fourth quarter, as the Falcons held off a late-charging Toledo squad. Biletnikoff finalist Fred-die Barnes caught nine passes for 69 yards and had two touchdowns. Barnes finished with 138 regular-season receptions, leaving him four shy of the NCAA FBS record. If Bowling Green is invited to a Bowl Game at 7-5, all statistics count towards season totals.

Bowling Green blocked punts on Toledo’s first two possessions setting up Geter’s first touchdown, a one-yard plunge 11:35 to go in the first, and a Barnes four-yard score from Tyler Sheehan with 9:08 to play in the open-ing quarter. On the Falcons’ third possession, Toledo forced a punt but the Rockets’ Eric Page fumbled the boot and Jarrett Sanderson recovered it at the one-yard line. Geter scored on the next play to make it 21-0 less than 10 minutes into the contest. Matt Norsic added a 22-yard field goal with 1:20 left in the opening frame to make it 24-0.

Toledo battled back with a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to make it 24-14 and added a third-quarter field goal to make it 24-17. The Rockets tied the score on a four-yard plunge with 13:08 to go in the game but the Falcons answered with a 17-yard Barnes touchdown and Geter’s one-yard score with 1:27 to go.

Toledo ends the season with a record of 5-7 overall and 3-5 in Mid-Ameri-can Conference play. Bowling Green improved to 7-5 overall and 6-2 in the MAC. The Falcons will await a possible Bowl bid.

Notes vs. Toledo*Bowling Green has now won three in a row versus Toledo for the first time since 1992-94. It is also the first time the Falcons beat Toledo and Miami in the same season since 1994.

*Willie Geter finished the game with 16 carries for 114 yards and three touchdowns, a career-high. He now has six touchdowns in his last four games.

*Tyler Sheehan completed 19-of-31 passes for 137 yards and added 28 yards on the ground. For his career he now has 10,123 total yards from scrimmage, the most ever in BGSU history.

*Last week Sheehan became the all-time school leader in pass comple-tions and added his name to the top of the list for pass attempts. For his career the senior has 1,447 pass attempts.

*Sheehan hooked up with Freddie Barnes for a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter. It was Sheehan’s 21st straight game with a touchdown pass, third longest streak in the country.

*Speaking of Barnes, the nation’s leading receiver finished with a game-high nine catches for 69 yards, extending his streak to seven straight games with a receiving touchdown. Barnes, who finished with one rush-ing score to his credit, has scored multiple times in games six different times in 2009.

*Barnes now has 138 catches this season, tied for third most all-time in NCAA history. He trails just Manny Hazard (142), Troy Edwards (140) and is tied with Nate Burleson (138) for the NCAA record.

BGsu noTes • dR. CaRol a. CaRTwRiGhTDR. CAROL A. CARTWRIGHTPresident, Bowling Green State University

Dr. Carol A. Cartwright, who is one of the most highly respected voices in higher education, is the first woman to take a presidential role at Bowl-ing Green State University. She was named the president of BGSU Jan. 6, 2009, after serving as interim presi-dent since July 2008.

Dr. Cartwright’s experience in Ohio was key to the BGSU Board of Trust-

ee’s decision to name her president. She also has a keen understand-ing of the opportunities available through the University System of Ohio and is supportive of the vision of Gov. Strickland and Chan-cellor Fingerhut.

Dr. Cartwright’s career has been distinguished by innovative teach-ing, pioneering research and national leadership. She became Kent State University’s 10th president–and the first woman president of a state university in Ohio–in March 1991. She retired as president in June 2006 and was named president emeritus. Prior to her career at Kent State, she was vice chancellor for academic affairs at the Uni-versity of California at Davis and dean for undergraduate programs and vice provost at The Pennsylvania State University.

Under Dr. Cartwright’s leadership, student success became Kent State’s top priority; many mutually beneficial partnerships were forged with businesses, schools and other universities; the status of teaching and public service was elevated; academic programs were launched in a wide range of high-demand and emerging fields; the university pioneered technologies that enhance teaching and learn-ing; enrollment increased in quantity and quality; building and cele-brating diversity became an institutional priority; new collaborations and exchanges connected Kent State to every corner of the world; the university constructed 21st-century facilities from residence halls to research labs; and Kent State successfully completed its first, ma-jor fund-raising campaign.

Dr. Cartwright held prominent leadership roles on higher education’s most influential national organizations, chairing the board of direc-tors of the American Association for Higher Education and serving on the boards of directors of the American Council on Education and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. She chaired the National Collegiate Athletic Association Executive Committee and served as a member of the NCAA’s board of directors. She also served on the executive board of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education; the Center for Re-search Libraries board of directors; and the American Council on

Education Commission on Women in Higher Education. She cur-rently serves on the board of directors of the American Association of Colleges and Universities; the Knight Commission on Intercol-legiate Athletics; and the National Public Radio board of directors.

Dr. Cartwright was a leading member of numerous regional and statewide civic and economic-development organizations, including the Greater Akron Chamber, the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education and NorTech. She co-chaired the Ohio Technology in Education Committee, which developed Ohio’s master plan for edu-cational technology from preschool through graduate school. Her participation in initiatives to improve Ohio’s economy includes past service on the Governor’s Commission on Higher Education and the Economy. Dr. Cartwright also serves on the boards of directors of three companies with headquarters in Northeast Ohio: KeyCorp and PolyOne Corporation of Cleveland and FirstEnergy Corp. of Akron.

The scope of her contributions to higher education led to Dr. Cart-wright’s induction into the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility. She received Distinguished Alumni awards from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and the University of Pittsburgh; the Clairol Mentor Award in Education; the YWCA Greater Cleveland Women of Achievement Award; the Northeast Ohio ATHENA Award; and the March of Dimes Franklin Delano Roosevelt Humanitarian Award for Excellence. After announcing her retirement as president, she was honored throughout the region, state and nation, including recognition in the form of resolutions of appreciation from the Ohio Legislature and the U.S. Congress. She was awarded the title “President Emeritus” from the Kent State University Board of Trustees. In addition, the Auditorium Building on the university’s Kent Campus was named “Carol A. Cartwright Hall” in her honor.

Dr. Cartwright earned master’s and doctoral degrees from the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh and her bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater.

She and Dr. G. Phillip Cartwright have three children, the youngest of whom is a Kent State graduate, and two grandchildren.


BGsu noTes • GReG ChRisTopheRGreg Christopher enters his fourth year as Assistant Vice Presi-dent of Student Affairs/Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Bowling Green State University, having accomplished a great deal in his first two years in Northwest Ohio. Christopher, the 12th full-time athletic director in school history, began his duties at BGSU in July of 2006.

Christopher oversees an 18-sport program which has a budget of $16.5 million and 73 full-time employees. BGSU, which is a member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), is one of 13 programs in the country which sponsor Division I-A football and compete in men’s and women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey on the Division I level.

A native of West Lafayette, Ind., Christopher has moved the BGSU athletic department forward in multiple areas in his first two years. The Sebo Athletic Center was completed in the fall of 2007, featuring expanded and state-of-the-art sports medicine and rehabilitation facilities as well as a strength and conditioning area for all University student-athletes. The new front entrance for Doyt L. Perry Stadium, the building also houses administrative offices as well as offices and meeting rooms for the football Falcons.

The Sebo Athletic Center is part of $14 million in new or renovated athletics facilities completed during Christopher’s tenure. That facilities list includes the new Keefe Tennis Complex, a renova-tion to Whittaker Track and the FieldTurf inside Perry Stadium.

Additionally, more than $44 million are in the works, including an $8 million renovation to the BGSU Ice Arena and a $36 million convocation center. The Stroh Center, a brand-new arena for the Falcon basketball and volleyball programs, is scheduled to be completed in 2012. Incremental facility improvement plans are also underway for other BGSU athletics venues.

Athletics highlights of Christopher’s two years include three MAC championships, with two in women’s basketball and one in baseball. The women’s hoops Falcons became the first team in conference history to advance to the ‘Sweet 16’ of the NCAA Championships in 2006-07, winning a MAC-record 31 games along the way.

In 2007-08, the football program tied for the MAC’s East Division title, being invited to the GMAC Bowl. The bowl bid was the program’s third in five years. The women’s basketball Falcons won the MAC regular-season title for an unprecedented fourth consecutive season, advancing to national postseason play – also for the fourth-straight year – with a trip to the WNIT. The baseball team tied for the MAC regular-season crown, while the women’s soccer team advanced to the championship match of the MAC Tournament for the fourth time in five seasons.

In the classroom, the Falcons have flourished, as the number of student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0 or above has increased in each of the last two years. In 2007-08, BGSU student-athletes cracked the 3.0 barrier for cumulative GPA as a group, and no fewer than 184 BG student-athletes had a GPA of at least 3.0. The student-athlete graduation rate is greater than the overall student body’s graduation rate.

Christopher implemented the Falcon Leadership Academy, a leadership development program for BGSU student-athletes. Christopher, along with several other administrators in the athletics depart-ment, serves as an instructor for the class, which represents each of the department’s 18 varsity sports.

Christopher’s background in fundraising and development has been evident in his first two years at BGSU. There have been double-digit percentage increases in the external funding areas, includ-ing development, corporate marketing, licensing and concessions. Christopher has furthered the department’s logo transition and integrated an external communications plan.

Christopher came to BGSU after spending nearly a decade at Purdue University in his hometown. He served as Associate A.D. for External Relations and John Purdue Club Director at Purdue University. Christopher, who had been at the school since 1997, was a member of the department’s senior staff. He served in that position since March of 2005 and was accountable for external and revenue-related areas for Purdue’s $50 million department. In his role, he oversaw several areas, including development, marketing, promotions and advertising, athletic licensing and sports information.

Under his leadership, Purdue raised $17.2 million in total giving for Athletics in his final year there. He also played a significant role in a seven-year campus-wide capital campaign which was on track to raise $111 million for Athletics during that period. Projects that came to fruition in that time frame include tripling the number of endowed athletic scholarships and several facility additions or renovations. Among the facility projects were an indoor golf training center, football stadium renovation, aquatic center, indoor tennis center, and basketball video board campaign. He also was the advisor for Purdue’s chapter of Athletes-in-Action, and served a period of time as the sport administrator for Purdue’s men’s and women’s tennis programs.

He began his career on the Boilermaker staff as Assistant Director of the John Purdue Club, and was promoted to Director in 1999 and to Assistant A.D. in 2002.

Christopher served as Executive Director for the Society of Professional Journalists in Greencastle, Ind., from 1994 to 1997 after joining the organization in 1991 as its Marketing and Development Director. During that time, he managed a staff of 15 and a $1.6-million budget for the nation’s largest not-for-profit journalism organization. His tenure focused largely on external relations, fueling growth that doubled the net worth of the foundation and association. He also improved relations with SPJ’s 250 local chapters and national volunteer leaders and negotiated contracts and corporate partnerships.

Prior to joining SPJ, Christopher was an Account Executive at WWWV-FM in Charlottesville, Va., from 1988-90. In that capacity, he designed and managed station promotions, including partnerships with the athletics program at the University of Virginia. He also was part of the “Page Program” at NBC in New York in 1988 where he served as a research analyst, assisting the Manager of Sports Programming and Market Analysis in research of television sports. Christopher also produced network sports tracking reports and surveys of major league sports.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from MAC-member Miami University in 1988 and earned his MBA from the institution in 1991. He played football for one season before the former linebacker’s career was cut short due to injury. In 1987-88 and 1990-91, Christopher was involved as a television color commentator in football and play-by-play voice for men’s ice hockey which aired on regional cable television and WPTD-TV in Dayton. He also served as a graduate assistant in the Office of Admissions at Miami in 1990-91.

Christopher is a member of the Mid-American Conference’s External Relations Committee, and is the women’s basketball administrative chair. In the spring of 2008, he was appointed to the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee.

Christopher, 42, is married to the former Tina Smith of Leetonia, Ohio. The couple has a son, Zachary, 12, and two daughters, Megan and Allison, ages 10 and 8.
