Five Straight Against Ranked OpponentsThe game against Elon marked the Tigers fifth-straight game against a ranked opponent. Towson opened CAA play against a team that was just outside the top 25 in Stony Brook before playing No. 14 Villanova, No. 13 Richmond, No. 18 New Hampshire, No. 23 Delaware and No. 7 Elon.

Knocking Off a Ranked OpponentSaturday’s victory against Delaware marked the first win over a ranked opponent since knocking off No. 22 Villanova, 28-21, on October 24, 2015. The win over the Wildcats was also on Homecoming.

Stover Earns 2nd CAA Rookie HonorAfter leading Towson on the game-winning drive against Delaware, redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Stover was named the CAA Rookie of the Week. He finished the game 20-of-32 for 187 yards and two touchdowns,

while also rushing for 56 yards on eight carries. It is his second rookie honor of the season.

Gallahan Catches Game WinnerRedshirt junior Sam Gallahan is the most experienced wide receiver on the Tigers roster. On Saturday, Gallahan had his biggest moment in a Towson uniform with one-hand grab in the back corner of the end zone to give the Tigers the victory over Delaware. It marked the second-straight game in which he has caught a TD pass.

Stover Leads 2nd Game-Winning DriveIn his first season as a starter, Ryan Stover has led the Tigers on a pair of game-winning drives. He capped an eight-play drive against Delaware with the game-winning touchdown pass. His first game-winning drive came against Saint Francis when he led the team on a 59-yard drive for the winning field goal as time expired.

Another Late Game Winner vs UDFor the second time in the last four years, the Tigers scored in the game’s final minute to defeat Delaware. On Saturday, Ryan Stover hit Sam Gallahan for a 14-yard touchdown with 35 seconds left. In 2014, Darius Victor scored with 49 seconds left to give the Tigers a 24-17 victory.

35 Passing YardsThe Towson defense held Delaware to just 35 passing yards in the victory on Saturday. It marked the third-straight meeting in which the Blue Hens failed to pass for 100 yards against the Tigers. UD has only passed for 114 yards total in the last three meetings.

Getting After the QBThe Tigers have been getting pressure on the quarterback over the past two games. In each of the games, the TU defense has recorded three sacks. The defensive line has spread out the sacks as six different players have combined for the sacks. Clifton Jones is the only player with a sack in each of the games.

TD Pass vs FCS Ryan Stover connected with Sam Gallahan for an 18-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter against New Hampshire. It was just the third touchdown pass of the season and the first against an FCS opponent.

Forcing Turnovers at HomeForcing turnovers at home has not been a problem this season. In four home games, the Tigers have forced 10 turnovers. They had three interceptions in each of the first two games and had at least two turnovers in each of the first three games.

InterceptionsThe Towson defense has been ball-hawking this season as they have nine interceptions through seven games. It already ranks as the fifth most since the Tigers joined the CAA in 2007.Year INTs2013 162011 132017 92016 92015 92007 82014 72009 62012 42008 32010 2

Double-Digit ReceptionsFor the second time in a three-game span, wide receiver Jabari Greenwood reached double digits in receptions. He finished the game against Villanova with 10 catches for 78 yards. This comes after tying a school record with 13 receptions at Saint Francis. He is the third player in the CAA era to have two double-digit reception games in a season, joining Christian Summers (2016) and Demetrius Harrison (2007).

Sack ManSenior defensive lineman Kanyia Anderson has made a habit of getting into the opponents backfield. He has recorded a sack in five of the nine games this season.

Mr. TurnoverDefensive back Monty Fenner has been at the center of many of the turnovers over the past two seasons. This season, the junior is tied for the CAA lead with three interceptions. Last season, Fenner was tied for the CAA lead by forcing four fumbles.

True Freshmen Get First TDsA pair of true freshmen reached the endzone for the first time in their careers at Maryland. Jabari Allen caught a touchdown pass in the second quarter and Rodney Dorsey found the endzone in the fourth quarter.

Goal Line StandThe Towson defense came up big in the second quarter as they stopped the Terps on 4th-and-goal from inside the 1-yard line. After a punt return to the 10, Maryland failed to score as Diondre Wallace and Christian Johnson combined on the fourth-down stop.

Two-Straight in Maryland, vs. MarylandFor just the second time in school history, Towson opened the season with two games in the state of Maryland against two teams from the state of Maryland.

Over the last six years, Rob Ambrose has led Towson football to 44 wins, a pair of CAA championships and two NCAA FCS playoff appearances. Heading into his ninth season at the helm of the Tiger football program in 2017, Ambrose has his sights set on a return to the NCAA FCS National Championship game. The 2015 Tigers returned to their winning ways as they put together a four-game winning streak en route to a 7-4 season. The defense carried the way as they recorded the first shutout over Delaware, and put together a streak of seven-straight scoreless quarters. Coming off an NCAA FCS Championship game appearance the year before, the Tigers battled a plethora of injuries during the 2014 season. However, for the second-straight year, a Tiger was selected in the NFL Draft. Just one year after running back Terrance West was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the third round, cornerback Tye Smith went in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft to the Seattle Seahawks. You don’t have to look very far back to find Ambrose’s impact in the wins and losses column. In 2013, he guided the Tigers to a magical season as Towson reached the NCAA FCS championship game by beating No. 9 Fordham, No. 2 Eastern Illinois and No. 3 Eastern Washington in consecutive weeks. Towson finished the campaign with a 13-3 record; the 13 wins were a school record. Ranked second in the final NCAA FCS polls, Towson won the Lambert/Meadowlands Award as the top FCS team in the East. The Tigers were also honored as the ECAC FCS Team of the Year. During the 2012 season, Ambrose led the Tigers to a 7-4 record against an extremely difficult schedule. The Tigers lost to a pair of nationally-ranked FBS programs in Kent State and LSU. But, Towson finished the season with a 6-2 CAA record as the Tigers shared the league title. In 2011, just his third season as the Tigers’ head coach, Ambrose guided Towson to one of the most dramatic turnarounds in college football history. Only one season removed from a 1-10 record, the 2011 team became the “Turnaround Tigers” by going 9-3. Their 7.5-game improvement was the most dramatic improvement in NCAA Division I history. Towson posted a 9-2 regular season record, beat six nationally-ranked teams and won the CAA championship outright with a 7-1 record

in 2011. The Tigers also made their first appearance in the NCAA FCS playoffs, becoming the first program to earn playoff berths at the Division III, Division II and FCS (I-AA) levels. Once the season ended, Ambrose was honored as the 2011 CAA Coach of the Year, the AFCA District Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. In January 2012, he was the recipient of the Eddie Robinson Award as the top coach in FCS football.

The UConn years (2002-08)Ambrose joined the staff at UConn as the Huskies grew from an NCAA Division I-AA program into a major college contender. During his seven seasons in Storrs, Connecticut, the Huskies were 49-36 with just two losing seasons. UConn made three bowl appearances in five years, debuted in the AP national rankings at 16th, and won a share of the Big East title in 2007. Joining the staff as the quarterbacks coach, Ambrose played a major role in the development of Dan Orlovsky, the first UConn quarterback to play in the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick by the Detroit Lions. In 2008 as the offensive coordinator, Ambrose coached Donald Brown, an All-American and the 2008 BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year. Brown led the nation with 2,083 yards on 367 carries and became the first UConn player to be selected in the first round of the NFL draft.

His first head coaching job – Catholic (2001)Ambrose left Towson after the 2000 season to become the head coach at Catholic University, a Division III program in Washington, D.C. In one year at Catholic, Ambrose led the Cardinals to a 3-7 record.

As a Tiger assistant (1992-2000)In nine years as a Tiger assistant, the team went 54-36 with only two losing seasons. Ambrose started as a student-assistant before being promoted to wide receivers coach in 1993, offensive coordinator in 1997 and then to associate head coach in 2000. He coached four All-Americans in running back Tony Vinson, quarterback Dan Crowley, and wide receivers Mark Orlando and Jamal White. Vinson led the nation in rushing yards (2,016), all-purpose yards (2,073) and points

ROBAMBROSEHead Coach9th Season • Towson, ‘93

scored (138) in 1993. Vinson went on to be a fifth-round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers. Orlando earned All-America notice by catching 55 passes for 1,223 yards and 12 touchdowns. In 1999, Towson led the nation in passing yardage, averaging 381.2 passing yards per game.

His collegiate playing careerAs a player at Towson, Ambrose started his career as a quarterback but moved to wide receiver as a sophomore. In 1990, he caught four passes for 20 yards. As a junior, he had four catches for 35 yards. Three of those receptions were touchdown passes from Dan Crowley. He caught an 11-yard TD pass at James Madison, a seven-yard TD toss at Liberty and a 14-yard TD pass against Hofstra. An injury in the spring before his senior year forced Ambrose to the sidelines.

The Ambrose familyThe Tigers’ coach is the son of one of the most successful high school football coaches in Maryland. His father, Tim, was the head coach at Middletown for 31 years and won 249 games, leading the Knights to 14 Monocacy Valley League championships. He retired in 2013, just in time to follow the Tigers’ march to the NCAA championship game. The former athletic director at Middletown, he stepped down as football coach after the 2004 season. Coach Ambrose’s brother, Jared, was an assistant football coach at Delaware for two years before joining the Tigers’ staff. He is currently the program’s offensive coordinator. Ambrose and his wife, Melissa, have two children: Grace and Riley.

TOWSON, Md. -- The 2017 season opener belonged to the defense as Towson University forced four turnovers in shutting out Morgan State, 10-0, in the Battle for Greater Baltimore Saturday night at Johnny Unitas® Stadium.

The victory was the 13th-straight for the Tigers over MSU inside Unitas Stadium. The shutout was the second for the Tigers in the 24 meetings between the two schools.

The Tigers got four turnovers from their defense in posting just the fourth opening-game shutout in the 49 year history of the program. It is also the first shutout in the season opener since 1983.

The defense got first half interceptions from Tyron McDade, Monty Fenner and Lyrics Klugh.

Fenner returned his interception to the two yard line and Shane Simpson went over left tackle on the next play for the rushing touchdown.

The Tigers then executed the two-minute drill as they drove into Bears territory and got a 42-yard field goal from Aidan O’Neill with nine seconds showing on the first half clock.

Redshirt freshman Bryce Carter forced a fumble on a sack in the fourth quarter. He was also able to recover the fumble. He finished the game with six tackles.

Justice Pettus-Dixon, Diondre Wallace and Keon Paye each had a team-high eight tackles.

LORETTO, Pa. -- Sophomore Aidan O’Neill kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give Towson University a 16-14 victory over Saint Francis.

With the Tigers trailing by one with a little over two minutes remaining, redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Stover went 10-for-12 in leading the team down the field for the game winner.

Jabari Greenwod was the top target on the drive and in the game. The junior caught three passes for 37 yards on the drive, including a 15-yard reception to get the Tigers into field goal range.

He would finish the game by tying a school-record with 13 receptions for 151 yards.

The Tigers scored their only touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter as Adrian Feliz-Platt capped a six-play drive with a six-yard touchdown run. It was the first touchdown of his career.

The defense kept the Tigers in the game as they forced two turnovers and held the Red Flash to just three yards of offense in the third quarter and just 84 in the second half.

Diondre Wallace led the defense with 11 tackles and a forced fumble. Justice Pettus-Dixon added seven tackles and an interception.

Stover’s second scoring strike came in the fourth quarter when his pass over the middle to Rodney Dorsey turned into a 59-yard score.

Stover also ran for a team-high 52 yards on 13 attempts.

The Tiger defense made its presence felt in the second quarter as they put together a goaline stand. Diondre Wallace and Christian Johnson combined to stop the ball carrier just shy of the goaline on fourth down.

Wallace led the team with seven tackles, while Monty Fenner added six.

Kanyia Anderson and Tibo Debaillie each recorded a sack

TOWSON, Md. -- The Towson University football team fell victim to the turnover bug in falling, 23-3, to No. 13 Richmond Saturday afternoon at Unitas Stadium.

The game got off to a good start as the defense forced a fumble on the first play of the game that was recovered by Keon Paye.

After the Spiders took a 7-0 lead, Paye stepped in front of a pass near his own goal line and returned it for an apparent touchdown. But, a penalty was called to nullify the touchdown.

TU turned the ball over four times in the first half that helped the Spiders take a 17-0 lead into the half.

The defense stepped its game up even more in the second half as they held one of the nation’s top offenses to just 110 yards after the break.

Redshirt freshman Triston Harris saw his first collegiate action and went 15-of-128 for 153 yards and an interception. He also rushed for 22 yards.

The top target on the outside was Jabari Greenwood who had eight receptions for 108 yards.

In the fourth quarter, Harris engineered a 15-play drive that culminated with a 21-yard field goal from Aidan O’Neill.

The field goal marked the 10th-straight game in which O’Neill has made a field goal.

Diondre Wallace led the defense with nine tackles, while Chris Tedder added two tackles-for-loss and a sack.

STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- Towson University got rushing touchdowns from Kobe Young and C.J. Williams, but it was not enough as the Tigers fell, 25-17, to Stony Brook in the CAA opener.

The Tigers got on the board first as they got a rushing score from Young on the opening drive. It was the first time the team had scored in the first quarter on the season.

One the second series, Ryan Stover hit Rodney Dorsey for a 73-yard gain that set up a 29-yard field goal from Aidan O’Neill.

Williams got the Tigers back on the scoreboard late in the third quarter with a 1-yard TD run.

Trailing by five late in the fourth quarter, the Tigers offense crossed midfield before fumbling on a fourth-down rushing attempt. SB was able to kick a field goal to push their advantage to eight.

Stover finished the game 15-of-30 for 162 yards. He also added 52 rushing yards on 10 attempts.

Dorsey had 77 receiving yards on a pair of catches, while adding 61 yards on two kickoff returns.

TOWSON, Md. -- The Towson University defense forced four turnovers, and did not allow a completion in the second half, but it was not enough as the Tigers fell, 24-9, to No. 14 Villanova.

After allowing a touchdown on the opening possession, the Towson defense settled down and only allowed three completions the rest of the game.

On the first possession after the touchdown, Lyrics Klugh forced a fumble that was recovered by Coby Tippett.

Early in the second quarter, defensive back Monty Fenner intercepted a pass near midfield. The offense took advantage of the turnover as Ryan Stover capped a six-play drive with a three-yard touchdown run.

Fenner would come back on the next defensive series and record his second interception of the game.

The Tigers would take the opening kickoff of the second half and drive down the field for a 27-yard field goal off the right leg of Aidan O’Neill.

A pair of late Tiger turnovers deep in their own territory helped set up the final margin.

Jabari Greenwood was a standout on offense as he had 10 catches for 78 yards.

Diondre Wallace led the defense with seven tackles, while Kanyia Anderson recorded his fourth sack of the season.

Trailing 14-3 in the third quarter, Stover hit John Tsimis for a 39-yard touchdown pass. Stover then flipped the ball to the left to Ellis Knudson for the two-point conversion.
