Top Story - The Robert Morris University football team commences its 2015 slate and 22nd season of intercollegiate football Saturday, Sept. 5, as it hosts Dayton at Noon at Joe Walton Stadium. Head coach John Banaszak enters his second season at the helm for Robert Morris with 38 returning letterwinners. Only three Colonials of the 22 projected starters on offense and defense will be making their first collegiate start Saturday, but included in that group is fresh- man quarterback Mathew Barr. Barr is part of a group of inexperienced skill position players who will look to spark the RMU offense in 2015. RMU’s six projected starters at skill positions have combined for just 13 starts on offense. Dayton is coming off an 8-3 campaign a year ago in which it finished second in the Pioneer League. The Flyers’ top returnee might be preseason All- American Connor Kacsor, who already is Dayton's all-time leading rusher. Robert Morris will alternate home and road tilts for the month of September as the Colonials will make the short jaunt across state lines to face nationally ranked Youngstown State next Saturday, Sept. 12. Quick Stat of the Afternoon - Robert Morris enters its 2015 season opener with an all-time record of 9-12 (.429) in season lidlifters, all of which have come in non-conference play. After opening the season on the road against nationally ranked opponents in both 2012 and 2013, including kicking off 2012 with eventual national champion North Dakota State, RMU will begin a season at home for the second straight year and the 10th time in program history in 2015. Robert Morris has dropped each of its past six season openers, four of which have come on the road … Top performances by RMU in season openers: most points – 47 (9/4/04 vs. Buffalo State); fewest points allowed – 0 (9/7/96 @ Mercyhurst); most rushing yards – 215 (9/6/03 @ Buffalo State); most passing yards – 282 (9/6/03 @ Buffalo State); most total yards – 497 (9/6/03 @ Buffalo State); fewest yards allowed – 167 (9/4/04 vs. Buffalo State) Saturday's Opponent - RMU continues its longest running rivalry with a non-conference foe when it matches up with Dayton. RMU will meet the Flyers for the 18th time with Dayton hold- ing a 15-2 (.882) advantage and carrying a 12-game winning streak in the all-time series. Dayton scored 14 points in the first six minutes last year and did not look back en route to a 31-7 victory. The Colonials did manage to hold Dayton’s strong ground game in check as the Flyers rushed for just 97 yards, almost 100 below their season average. For more information on the all-time series against Dayton, including the last game recap, please see page four of today’s game notes. On This Date (Sept. 5) in Robert Morris Football History - Robert Morris has competed twice on September 5 and fell short on both occasions. Both of those contests were also season openers, but each came on the road. The most recent time the Colonials played on this date came in 2009 at VMI. The first half was a defensive slugfest that featured a combined 254 yards of total offense. Although RMU forced the Keydets into three turnovers, the teams went into the inter- mission scoreless. VMI was gifted the game’s first score on a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Robert Morris rallied back with two 70+ yard touchdown drives as both Sherrod Evers (2006; 2008-09) and Jeff Link (2007-10) caught TD passes. However, a blocked extra point would loom large as VMI capped a 79-yard drive in the final 90 seconds to take a 14-13 lead, which would stand as the margin of victory. Myles Russ (2007-10) ran for 145 yards in the setback while Alex DiMichele (2008-10) tallied 15 tackles and recovered a single-game RMU record three fumbles.

Top Story - The Robert Morris University football team commences its 2015 slate and 22nd season of intercollegiate football Saturday, Sept. 5, as it hosts Dayton at Noon at Joe Walton Stadium. Head coach John Banaszak enters his second season at the helm for Robert Morris with 38 returning letterwinners. Only three Colonials of the 22 projected starters on offense and defense will be making their first collegiate start Saturday, but included in that group is fresh-man quarterback Mathew Barr. Barr is part of a group of inexperienced skill position players who will look to spark the RMU offense in 2015. RMU’s six projected starters at skill positions have combined for just 13 starts on offense. Dayton is coming off an 8-3 campaign a year ago in which it finished second in the Pioneer League. The Flyers’ top returnee might be preseason All-American Connor Kacsor, who already is Dayton's all-time leading rusher. Robert Morris will alternate home and road tilts for the month of September as the Colonials will make the short jaunt across state lines to face nationally ranked Youngstown State next Saturday, Sept. 12.

Quick Stat of the Afternoon - Robert Morris enters its 2015 season opener with an all-time record of 9-12 (.429) in season lidlifters, all of which have come in non-conference play. After opening the season on the road against nationally ranked opponents in both 2012 and 2013, including kicking off 2012 with eventual national champion North Dakota State, RMU will begin a season at home for the second straight year and the 10th time in program history in 2015. Robert Morris has dropped each of its past six season openers, four of which have come on the road … Top performances by RMU in season openers: most points – 47 (9/4/04 vs. Buffalo State); fewest points allowed – 0 (9/7/96 @ Mercyhurst); most rushing yards – 215 (9/6/03 @ Buffalo State); most passing yards – 282 (9/6/03 @ Buffalo State); most total yards – 497 (9/6/03 @ Buffalo State); fewest yards allowed – 167 (9/4/04 vs. Buffalo State)

Saturday's Opponent - RMU continues its longest running rivalry with a non-conference foe when it matches up with Dayton. RMU will meet the Flyers for the 18th time with Dayton hold-ing a 15-2 (.882) advantage and carrying a 12-game winning streak in the all-time series. Dayton scored 14 points in the first six minutes last year and did not look back en route to a 31-7 victory. The Colonials did manage to hold Dayton’s strong ground game in check as the Flyers rushed for just 97 yards, almost 100 below their season average.

2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes vs. Dayton (9/5/15) - Page 3

Head Coach John BanaszakSecond Season - Eastern Michigan ’75

John Banaszak became the second head football coach in Robert Morris University history in December 2013. He served as an assistant coach and assistant head coach for the Colonials for 11 consecutive years prior to taking over the top spot. Banaszak was selected as Coach-In-Waiting in January 2012, allowing for a simple transition following the 2013 campaign. At the end of the 2013 season, he was named as the Assistant Coach of the Year at the FCS level as selected by the American Football Coaches Association. He was one of five coaches selected for dedication to their teams and communities. He was the first RMU coach, as well as the first from the NEC, to claim this honor. The 2013 season was Banaszak's sixth and final as assistant head coach for Robert Morris. Among his

numerous duties with the program before becoming head coach, he was responsi-ble for tutoring the defensive line and the special teams unit. Under Banaszak's guidance in 2013, Robert Morris led the NEC in net punting, punt return defense and punt return average. Banaszak was also a key component in instructing a RMU defense that finished second in the NEC in total defense within league play in 2013. Robert Morris finished its regular season ranked among the top 25 nationally in at least seven defensive categories including total defense. With Banaszak's assistance, RMU has led the NEC in total defense four times in the past 11 years and ranked among the top four nine times in the past 12 seasons. Banaszak was a key component to a 2010 defense that led the NEC in total defense as the Colonials claimed the NEC's inaugural berth in the FCS Playoffs. In 2006, he helped tutor an RMU defense that led I-AA in total defense, allowing an average of just 228.36 yards per game. 10 of the 13 players in school history to earn All-NEC recognition on the defensive line have come under the tutelage of Banaszak, including Nolan Nearhoof (2009-12), who was named the 2012 NEC Defensive Player of the Year after breaking both the school and league records for career sacks. Nearhoof would go on to earn All-America honors, becoming the third Colonial defensive lineman to claim an All-America nod under Banaszak in a seven-year span. As much as Banaszak's presence has been felt on the defensive side of the ball, the same can be said on special teams. He helped five distinct Colonials win an award at return specialist within the span of one decade. A graduate of Eastern Michigan, Banaszak signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers prior to the 1975 season and was one of only three rookies to make the defending Super Bowl champion team out of training camp. Primarily a special teams player on Pittsburgh's Super Bowl X championship team, Banaszak started five games the following season and then started at both right end and inside tackle in 1977 before suffering a knee injury that forced him to the injured reserve list. Between 1978 and 1980, Banaszak started 45 regular-season games at defensive end as the Steelers won back-to-back Super Bowls. In Super Bowl XIII, Banaszak recorded six tackles, including a pair of sacks, and a fumble recovery in a 35-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys, which garnered him Defensive Player of the Game honors. The following year, Banaszak helped the Steelers to a 31-19 victory over the Rams.

Game #4Dayton 31, Robert Morris 7September 20, 2014 / Dayton, Ohio

Welcome Stadium (Attendance: 5,839) - Robert Morris tallied more first downs than Dayton but was unable to turn those conversions into sufficient points as the Flyers topped the Colonials, 31-7, in non-conference action. Senior linebacker Jake Tkach netted a game-high and career-high 11 tackles, including a tackle for loss, to lead the RMU defense. Junior David Taylor notched an interception in the third quarter, his third pick in the past four games. Sophomore Forrest Barnes ran for 61 yards and a touchdown while also catching a pass in his first collegiate game after entering when two of RMU's running backs left the game due to injury in the first half. Dayton took the opening kickoff and put together its best drive of the day as it used seven plays to trek 77 yards to the end zone. After a Colonial punt, the Flyers used fantastic field posi-tion to double their lead as they needed to travel less than half the field to cross the goal line. RMU turned the ball over on downs on its next possession before both defenses settled into the game. Each of the next eight drives ended in a punt with the Colonials tallying 46 yards on their four drives while holding the hosts to 21. Dayton then used a short field to drive into the red zone where RMU forced a field goal attempt that was converted. Robert Morris moved 29 yards into Dayton territory before punting on its next drive. The Flyers posted a backbreaking score on their final drive of the half as they reached the end zone in the final minute after consecutive long passes. After each team punted on its first drive of the second half, Robert Morris would strike with a 10-play drive. Barnes ran for 28 yards on the drive while sophomore quarterback Luke Brumbaugh found three different receivers, including hitting true freshman Jamison Williams for 15 yards on a fourth-down play. Barnes would barrel in from two yards out to complete the sequence. Robert Morris forced a Dayton punt after four plays to get the ball back. The Colonials then drove 28 yards before an interception halted the momentum. RMU's problems with turnovers would continue later in the quarter when a fumble near its own goal line essentially gifted the Flyers an insurance touchdown. RMU accumulated at least 30 yards on three of its final four drives, but it could make no fur-ther dent on the scoreboard. In addition to first downs, RMU had statistical advantages in yards gained rushing, comple-tions and time of possession while also running 19 more offensive plays than Dayton. The Colonial defense held the Flyers to under 300 total yards of offense and a 3-for-14 mark on third down. RMU ran 83 offensive plays, a school record for a non-conference contest.

Robert Morris Quick FactsLast Time Out - Robert Morris put forth a solid defense effort but could not muster up enough offense on a wet afternoon and fell to Duquesne in its season finale … Duane Mitchell caught a pass for the 33rd consecutive game to end his career, extending his school record in the process … Mitchell contributed seven catches on the day which helped him reset the single-season school record for receptions per game (4.91) … RMU fell to 7-3 (.700) in the last 10 games it has played as part of the NEC's annual broadcast package … Tony LaMancusa posted three punts downed inside the 20-yard line in his final game. It was the seventh time he notched at least three such punts in his career.

Behind Enemy Lines - In its 2014 finale at Duquesne, the Robert Morris defense racked up 15 tackles for loss, which marked a new school record against a Division I foe. The 15 stops in the backfield were the product of nine distinct Colonials who each contributed at least one tackle for loss. While the finale was grand, RMU was strong in this depart-ment in its final three games a year ago as it posted 33 TFL in that span. That helped the Colonials finish among the top 25 nationally in that category a season ago.

Record-Breaking Rookies - Prior to 2014, no more than two Colonials had claimed weekly rookie awards within a calendar year. That all changed last season as four Colonials were named NEC Rookie of the Week, allowing RMU to tie a league record for distinct student-athletes honored in that category in a season. Rameses Owens (9/8), Nic Lamica (10/20), Gerald Ferguson (11/10) and Ryan Richards Jr. (11/24) each took home the honor a season ago. Although they did not win it last year, other active Colonials to have won the honor include Marcelis Branch and Marcus Prather.

Starting Time - There are 33 Colonials on the current roster who have made at least one start in a Robert Morris uniform in advance of the 2015 season opener. To put that in perspective, there were only 16 such Colonials in that position before the 2014 opener.

Third Degree - Robert Morris finished the 2013 campaign ranked among the top 25 in the FCS in third down defense, allowing opponents to convert at a .349 clip. The Colonials managed to improve that figure to .331 in 2014 although that placed them one spot outside the top 25 nationally. On four occasions last season, the Colonials only allowed their opponent to convert on three third-down attempts.

Double-Take - After starting the first four games of the 2014 season at linebacker, Nic Lamica was moved to the other side of the ball. He wasted no time jumping in as he started the final seven games at wide receiver. Despite not playing a full season on offense, Lamica finished second on the team in receptions (30) and receiving yards (362) while also grabbing two touchdowns. Lamica caught eight passes last Oct. 18, which allowed him to tie the RMU freshman record for single-game receptions.

Break It Up - The median completion percentage across the FCS in 2014 was 57.6%. Robert Morris has allowed only two of its past 18 opponents to reach that mark. In fact, six times in this stretch, the Colonials have held their opponent under a 45% rate. In each of the past two seasons, RMU has had a stretch where it held its opponent under a 50% completion mark in three straight games.

Ready for a Rookie - True freshman Mathew Barr is set to start under center when RMU opens the season against Dayton. Barr would become the first true freshman to start a season opener at quarterback for the Colonials since 1994. Luke Brumbaugh started last year’s season opener as a redshirt freshman and completed 28 passes in the game.

Tkach Attack - After serving as a reserve in prior years, Jake Tkach made the most of his opportunity to play in 2014. The linebacker led the team with 84 tackles and tied for the team lead with 10 tackles for loss. He ranked fourth in the league in tackles per game and second among players who plied their trade in the front seven of a defense.

Start Me Up - Nick Faraci enters Saturday's game with the most consecutive starting assignments of all active Colonials as he has served as the center for 33 straight games. On defense, Marcelis Branch has the most total starts among active Colonials with 20, but Andy Smigiera and Mike Stojkovic are tied for the longest active streak (11).

Game #11 • Duquesne 22, Robert Morris 0November 22, 2014 • Pittsburgh, Pa.

Rooney Field (Attendance: 1,085) - Robert Morris had multiple school records rewritten but was unable to turn those efforts into a win as it fell to Duquesne, 22-0, in NEC action in each team's season finale. Seniors Tony LaMancusa and Duane Mitchell both broke records along with the Colonial defense setting a new standard. Mitchell caught seven passes for 91 yards to break his own single-season school record for receptions. LaMancusa broke RMU's career punting yards record as he tallied three punts downed inside the 20 yard line. True freshman Ryan Richards Jr. led a strong defensive effort for the Colonials as he posted a team high and season high tying nine tackles, including seven solo hits, a season-best three tackles for loss and a quarterback hurry. Fellow true freshman Drew Allen posted the first interception of his career against Duquesne, an athletic, one-handed grab near the goal line. RMU held Duquesne to 3-for-16 on third down after it came into the game leading the NEC in third down conversion percentage. After RMU's starting quarterback was injured on the first play from scrimmage, a turnover by the Colonials would set the Dukes up with fantastic field position, which they took advantage of with a four-yard pass to take the lead. A trio of punts followed before Duquesne drove into the red zone. Despite having first-and-goal, the Colonial defense held and forced a field goal by the hosts. Allen intercepted Duquesne on its next drive before seven con-secutive punts essentially brought the half to a close. RMU posted 70 yards on its final four drives of the half to the Dukes' 51 on their final four possessions as the Colonials twice moved into the hosts' territory. Duquesne used a 12-yard pass to score on the first drive of the second half to add to its advantage. RMU would again move into the Dukes' half of the field before turning the ball over on downs. The Colonial defense then forced a Duquesne punt with a three-and-out. Robert Morris ran 10 plays on its next possession, again mov-ing to the Dukes' side of the field, but would be forced to punt facing a fourth-and-long. Duquesne tacked on a field goal early in the fourth quarter before the game's next two drives ended in punts. On the game's final four possessions, two for both teams, each would advance the ball once into the others' territory, but a turnover on downs and an interception ended those two scoring chances.

Last RMU GameFinish Strong, Start Fast? - A number of Colonial defenders posted admirable efforts in the season finale that they will look to carry over to the beginning of 2015: Safety Ryan Richards Jr. reset his freshman season bests in both solo stops (7) and tackles for loss (3.0) while tying his season high of nine tackles … Defensive end Ryan Lewis tied his career best with seven tackles, all of the solo variety, and also added a career high 3.0 tackles for loss … Linebacker Zach Cooper posted a career-high seven hits … Linebacker Jimmy Masson tal-lied a career best 3.0 tackles for loss … Cornerback Drew Allen contributed the first interception of his career.

Home Sweet Home - Robert Morris is set to open its season at home for the second straight year. The Colonials are 14-7 (.667) all-time in home openers and 6-3 (.667) in games where their home opener is also their season opener. RMU has played 13 different programs in its home opener entering 2015. This Saturday's game will be the sixth time RMU hosts Dayton in its home opener.

Initial Impressions - A number of RMU players accrued a ‘first’ during the course of the 2014 season. A total of 27 Colonials made their first career start a year ago, 15 on offense and 12 on defense. 17 of those 27 had never competed in a collegiate game before 2014. In all, 35 Colonials made their collegiate debut last season.

Stock Watch - Redshirt senior linebacker Mike Stojkovic is back for his third and final season with RMU after he transferred from FBS program North Texas. After missing the majority of 2013 to an injury, Stojkovic started every game last season and finished among the top five in the conference in tackles per game (7.5). A high school quarterback that led his team to the state title game in Texas, Stojkovic owns 100 tackles in a Colonial uniform and has recovered four fumbles in 15 games.

It's Not on Us - Head coach John Banaszak, who served in the Marines, had his team playing a very disciplined brand of football in his first season in 2014. The Colonials finished 13th nationally in fewest penalty yards accrued among FCS programs. Robert Morris not only led the league in fewest penalty yards per game (44.82) but also reset its program record in that category. RMU has accumulated fewer penalty yards than its opponent in 11 of its past 13 games.

Spread the Love - Drew Allen, in his third start in his true freshman season, grabbed an interception in the 2014 season finale at Duquesne. In doing so, he became the latest Colonial to pick off a pass. In RMU’s past 18 games, 17 dis-tinct Colonials have grabbed at least one interception.

The Century Mark - Rameses Owens and recently graduated running back Ryan Thermil each reached the 100-yard rushing mark on two occasions in 2014. In doing so, more than one Colonial contributed multiple 100-yard rushing efforts in a season for the first time since 1998 when Donald Dorsey (1998-99) and Archie Wannamaker (1996-98) achieved the feat.

No Passing Zone - The Robert Morris defense did well in keeping opposing offenses from moving the ball through the air near the end zone last year. The Colonials grabbed eight interceptions in 2014 within 20 yards of the end zone they were defending. Six different players contributed to that mark while safety Andy Smigiera had three such grabs on the season.

Long And Short of It - The 2014 edition of the Robert Morris defense did not allow a single opponent to complete a pass of 50+ yards. It marked just the third time in program history that RMU achieved such a feat as last year’s squad joined the 2009 and 1998 teams. However, last season was the first in Colonial history in which neither team completed a pass of 50+ yards throughout the duration of the season.

2015 Robert Morris Football Game Notes vs. Dayton (9/5/15) - Page 7

STATS FCS Top 25

NEC Champions since 1996

For Starters - When Robert Morris took the field in its 2014 finale at Duquesne, it sported its 11th distinct offensive starting lineup in the 11th and final game. RMU, which has sported different lineups on offense in its past 14 games overall, saw 23 distinct players start on offense in 2014 alone.

Making the Grade - Current redshirt senior offensive lineman Nick Faraci and recently graduated wide receiver Duane Mitchell were both named Capital One Academic All-District First Team last November. It was the second straight year Faraci earned this honor and the first such award for Mitchell, as they continued the trend of academic successes in the football program. These two accolades gave the Colonial program at least one Academic All-District honoree in each of the past 12 seasons, a span in which Robert Morris has taken home 23 overall selections. To put that in perspective, no other NEC school has an active streak of football Academic All-District selections lon-ger than three years. Mitchell, a finance major, became the first RMU wide receiver to ever claim this honor.

Ramming Defenses - Rameses Owens flashed dazzling potential as a true freshman in 2014 before missing the final four games due to injury. Owens ran for a 17-yard touch-down in the season opener before rushing for 199 yards at North Dakota in his first career start one week later. In doing so, Owens broke the RMU freshman single-game rushing mark and was also named National Freshman of the Week by The Sports Network, becoming the first Colonial in program history to claim that honor. In his first home start, Owens rushed for 154 yards against Monmouth, which, at the time, was the highest such figure against the Hawks in their past 29 outings.

Hurry Up – Robert Morris has run at least 80 offensive plays in a game 12 times in program history. After doing it eight times in its first 20 seasons, RMU ran 80+ plays four times in 2014 under new offensive coordinator Darrin Hicks. That mark included running 83 plays at Dayton last year, a RMU record for a non-conference game.

Seventh Heaven - Robert Morris was selected to finish seventh in the annual preseason Northeast Conference coaches poll. That fact may actually bode well for the Colonials on multiple fronts. In two of the past three seasons, the team picked seventh in the league has gone on to claim the NEC's automatic bid into the FCS Playoffs. Furthermore, the only other time in the past decade that Robert Morris was placed in the seventh position in the preseason poll came in 2006. RMU finished 7-4 that season and was a game out of first place at 5-2 in the league. In fact, the Colonials led the nation in total defense that season, allowing an average of 228.4 yards per game.

They'll Be Back - One interesting way to examine the state of the Colonial roster is to look at the number of players projected to start the season opener who will be finished with their careers after the season. Of RMU’s 22 offensive and defensive expected starters, only five Colonials—two on offense, three on defense—will have used all of their NCAA eligibility when the 2015 campaign is completed.

Times Two - One of the mainstays returning to the RMU defense in 2015 is redshirt senior Forrest Mason. Mason earned his second straight All-NEC honor in 2014, making him just one of five Colonials ever to claim multiple all-league honors as a defensive lineman. What made his accolade even more impressive a year ago is that the league’s coaches voted him to the team despite the fact that he was only able to appear in seven games. Mason owns 87 tackles and 9.5 sacks in his career entering 2015. He also claimed a NEC Defensive Player of the Week honor last October.

The Nurse Will See You - RMU's starting center, redshirt senior Nick Faraci, became the fifth Colonial in school history, and the first on the offensive side of the ball, to be earn a prestigious Academic All-America award this past December. However, that may not even be his most impressive feat. Faraci graduated from RMU in May with the highest grade point average in his nursing class. He subsequently passed his nursing board exams in the summer to earn his registered nurse (RN) license. Faraci, who owns a 3.94 cumulative GPA, worked in four area hospitals as part of his clinical rotations over the past few years.

Robert Morris in the 2014 NEC StatsThe Founding Father - The one constant in the first two decades of Colonial football was former head coach Joe Walton. Walton, the former NFL tight end and head coach of the New York Jets, started the program from scratch, com-pleting everything from hiring assistants to purchasing equipment. He was named NEC Coach of the Year four times in 18 seasons and guided RMU to a pair of NCAA I-AA mid-major national crowns during his time on the side-lines. Walton, currently a special assistant to the athletic director at Robert Morris, was inducted into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame in November 2013.

Get To The Chopper - A quick glance at RMU’s record when broken down proves how important it is the Colonials get off to a good start in contests. When Robert Morris is leading at halftime, the program owns an all-time record of 89-13 (.873). When trailing at the break, Robert Morris owns a mark of 13-80-1 (.144). Even going into halftime tied is beneficial, as the Colonials own an overall record of 14-9 (.609) in such games.

The Magic Mark - Since the Colonials began play in 1994, there have been 76 games in which Robert Morris has scored 30 or more points. In those contests RMU boasts a record of 71-5 (.934), including a record of 42-5 (.894) in games in which the team scores between 30 and 39 points. In games in which the Colonials score 40 or more points, RMU is a perfect 29-0.

RMU Football Historical Tidbits - The inaugural running back at Robert Morris, the late Tim Hall (1994-95), rushed for 2,908 yards in his two seasons as a Colonial. Hall still owns the FCS season and career records for yards per carry, with his season record of 8.7 yards per carry set in 1994 and his two-year career record of 7.4 established in 1994 and 1995 ... Hall also ranks fourth all-time in the FCS in both rushing yards per game (153.1) and all-purpose yards per game (194.8) ... Former Colonial linebacker James Noel (2002-05) ranks sixth in the FCS record book for career tackles per game (10.7), while his career tackle total of 437 takedowns ranks 15th all-time ... Former linebacker and assistant coach Alex DiMichele (2008-10) averaged 10 tackles per game over his three years in a Robert Morris uniform, which ranks 13th all-time in the FCS record book ... Robert Morris has topped the nation in passing defense twice in the past 16 years, based on passing effi-ciency defense rating. The Colonials topped the charts in 1999 (with a 80.80 rating) as well as in 2006 (with a 88.70 rating).

Did You Know? - Robert Morris owns the all-time FCS record for the most consecutive quarters while holding an opponent scoreless. During the 1996 season, the Colonials went 15 straight quarters without allowing a single point. In fact, the record-setting streak occurred at the beginning of the sea-son. RMU posted three straight shutouts -- 20-0 against Mercyhurst (9/7), 38-0 against Butler (9/14) and 7-0 against Towson State (9/21) -- to open the campaign and then held Central Connecticut State (9/28) scoreless for the first three quarters before finally allowing a point for the first time all sea-son. In all, Robert Morris went 234:04 before allowing a point in 1996. RMU went 9-2 (.818) in 1996, claiming a share of the NEC championship, and con-ceded just 12.9 points per game.

Robert Morris CaptainsHead coach John Banaszak announced after the team's final scrimmage that four Colonials will serve as captains in the 2015 season.

OFFENSERedshirt senior Nick Faraci and senior Max Robertson are the team’s captains on offense. Faraci has started each of RMU’s past 33 games at center and was selected as an Academic All-American in 2014. Robertson started 31 games at left guard over the past three seasons, but he was shifted down a spot to left tackle prior to the 2015 season.

DEFENSERedshirt seniors Forrest Mason and Mike Stojkovic are the team’s captains on defense. Mason is a two-time All-Northeast Conference honoree and is one of just five defensive lineman in RMU history to earn multiple all-league honors. He owns 87 tackles and 9.5 sacks in his career. He became the first Colonial defensive lineman to be named NEC Defensive Player of the Week in over 15 years last October. Stojkovic, who served as a captain in the latter half of the 2014 season, was ranked among the top five in the league in tackles per game last year and totaled 82 stops. He owns 100 tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss in a Colonial uniform. The Texas native began his col-legiate career at FBS institution North Texas.

Gameday Colonial football games are heard live on ESPN Radio AM-970 Pittsburgh, the flagship station of Robert Morris University athletics.

The Voice of the Colonials, Chris Shovlin, and color analyst Brian Cleary call the football action. RMU Assistant Media Relations Director Spencer Kowitz joins Shovlin as color analyst for select Colonial road games. "The John Banaszak Show" is on 30 minutes prior to kickoff. Games can also be heard on the station’s website, www.970espn.com, as well as on iHeartRadio. RMU home and league games can generally be seen live for free on NEC Front Row, the conference’s online digital network. The league has added multiple upgrades in recent years, including the ability to transmit live events in HD as well as providing the ability for the viewer to use a DVR-style, in-game real-time rewind feature. Robert Morris will also have at least two games that will air on ESPN3 in 2015 as its October 10 home game against Sacred Heart and its October 31 contest at Central Connecticut State can be seen on the digital network.Weekly Segments Coach Banaszak sits down for a weekly chat with play-by-play voice Chris Shovlin most Mondays at the All Star Sports Bar & Grill in either Robinson or Canonsburg. Their discussion is aired live on ESPN 970 from 8-9 p.m. Coach Banaszak also has a weekly segment on TribLIVE Radio that generally can be heard on Wednesday at 9:45 a.m. A Colonial student-athlete is also usually featured on ESPN 970 during a weekday afternoon.

Colonials in the NFLSince Robert Morris played its first season in 1994, three former Colonials have appeared in a game in the National Football League (NFL), the most among current NEC members in this span as of August 2015. Many players have “rewritten” record books at various schools. At Robert Morris, however, Tim Hall wrote the record book. Hall rushed for 2,908 yards on 393 carries in his two seasons in a Colonial uniform and was named an All-American by the Associated Press in 1995. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round (183rd player overall) in the 1996 NFL Draft. In 1997, he led the Raiders in yards per carry average with 5.2 and was second in rushing yards to Napolean Kaufman. On Sept. 30, 1998, Hall was shot and killed in Kansas City at age 24. Hank Fraley, who played on the offensive line for Robert Morris from 1996-1999, carved out a niche for himself in the NFL for over a decade. Fraley was a three-time Mid-Major All-American during his years at RMU before he was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers to a free-agent contract in April 2000. Fraley was later claimed by the Eagles and started at center for Philadelphia for the entire 2001 season, helping the team to the 2002 NFC Championship game. For four straight seasons with Fraley starting at center from 2002-05, the Eagles appeared in the NFC Championship game. In 2005, Fraley became the first RMU alum to appear in the Super Bowl when he started at center against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX. Former RMU defensive back Robb Butler played for the San Diego Chargers during the 2004 season and was featured in special teams situations, including returning kickoffs.
