Battle for the Golden Horseshoe
UC Davis snapped Cal Poly’s two-game winning streak in the “Battle for the Golden Horseshoe” with a 48-35 triumph in Alex G. Spanos Stadium on Nov. 15, 2014. Cal Poly won three straight from 2006-08 and the Aggies won the first two games of the “Battle for the Golden Horseshoe” -- 20-13 in 2005 and 36-33 in 2004. The “Battle for the Golden Horseshoe” is led by the Aggies, 6-5. In 2004, the two schools’ student-run spirit clubs, Mustang Maniacs and the Aggie Pack, came together to sponsor a perpetual trophy that resides with the team that wins each year. The horseshoe-shaped trophy signifies the agricultural influence at both universities. Although the trophy was established in 2004, the two teams have met for football games 39 times. UC Davis leads the series 20-18-2. From 2001-05 and in 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2014, the visiting team won. The series began in 1939 with UC Davis posting a 28-0 shutout at Davis. Cal Poly returned the favor in 1940 with a 27-0 victory in San Luis Obispo. The two teams have met every year since 1978. Seventeen of the games in the series have been decided by seven points or less.

More than 20,000 students, nationally-renown courses of study and the top-ranked public master’s university in the western United States ... all 11 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
This is Cal Poly
ocated in the central California coastal town of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly comprises one of 23 campuses in the California State University, the nation’s largest four-year undergraduate university system. Each CSU campus is given considerable freedom to develop its programs and each institution boasts its own qualities and strengths. Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing principle of instruction prepares undergraduates for careers in applied technical and professional fields. From computers to crops, Cal Poly holds that the best preparation for any endeavor is derived through practical application. This ideal has set Cal Poly apart from other schools and been the school’s driving philosophy since its 1901 founding. Courses at Cal Poly emphasize a high proportion of lab work, fieldwork and special assignments, culminating with a senior project. Unique on-campus opportunities – such as an organic farm and a student-run daily newspaper and majors of study ranging from aerospace engineering to wine and viticulture – make hands-on learning a daily reality at Cal Poly. In total, Cal Poly confers bachelor's degrees in 64 separate areas of study. Nine of those degrees are exclusive to the San Luis Obispo campus (see next page). For 22 consecutive years, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Cal Poly as the top public master’s university in the western United States. The publication also ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering as the No. 3 program in the nation among public non-doctoral institutions (see below). On-campus activities are headquartered at the renown University Union and Cal Poly’s student-run activities have earned enviable reputations across the nation. Week of Welcome offers first-quarter students a successful introduction to the collegiate experience through a team of trained student leaders and university officials, all of whom provide academic and social resources, encourage awareness and promote
relationships with the campus and central coast community. Athletically, Cal Poly boasts one of the most successful Division I programs for an institution of its size. During the 2013-14 academic year, the athletics department – which sponsors 21 varsity programs – saw the men’s basketball, men’s tennis and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships and six teams win Big West championships (baseball, women;s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s basketball and men’s tennis). Individually, Nick Dzubnar (football), Brandon Howe (football) and Ashley Windsor (women’s track and field) each earned All-America honors during the 2014-15 academic year. Conference champions include Justin De Los Santos (men’s golf), Jimmy Deiparine (men’s swimming), Nick Woolf (men’s track and field) and Molly Haar (women’s track and field). Second baseman Mark Mathias was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the third round of the MLB Draft in June 2015. Named Big West athletes of the year were Peter Van Gansen (baseball, defensive player of the year), Chase Minter (men’s soccer, midfielder of the year) and Wade Hamilton (men’s soccer, goalkeeper of the year). As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 75 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2014-15 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports. Internationally, Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

BEST IN THE WEST
CAL POLY AN ACADEMIC DYNASTY 22 YEARS IN THE MAKING
For the 22nd straight year, Cal Poly was rated by U.S. News and World Report as the best public master’s university in the western United States in its 2014 America’s Best Colleges guidebook. Cal Poly also is rated the most efficient school among regional western universities and placed 10th in the publication’s overall list of the west’s best universities – including both public and private institutions – that provide “a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs but few, if any, doctoral programs.” The publication ranks colleges that grant doctoral degrees, such as those in the University of California system, in a separate category. “Being named Best in the West for 22 straight years is a terrific acknowledgment of Cal Poly’s sustained excellence over a long period of time,” said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. “The credit belongs to our faculty and staff for their unwavering dedication and commitment to our students’ success, and it underscores the power of our Learn by Doing philosophy.”
Within individual areas of study, U.S. News and World Report ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering No. 3 among public engineering programs for schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s or master’s (Cal Poly was bested only by the United States Military Academy and Air Force Academy). A number of College of Engineering programs ranked high in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs in their individual specialty categories. The university’s computer, electrical and mechanical engineering programs were each ranked as the top program at a public university in their respective specialty categories. Cal Poly’s civil and environmental engineering program was ranked the secondbest program at a public university.

CAL POLY HISTORY
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, TRANSCENDENT FUTURE
In front of the Orfalea College of Business iis the O’Neill Green, which hosts, among other activities, a tailgate prior to football games at the adjacent and recently remodeled Alex G. Spanos Stadium. A 1948 graduate of the College of Agriculture, the late Richard J. O’Neill is the founder of Supporters of Mustang Athletics Teams (SUMAT) and was instrumental in helping to stabilize funding for Cal Poly.
I
n the 1890s, when a proposal for a teacher training school in San Luis Obispo seemed unlikely to succeed, California State Senator Sylvester C. Smith instead suggested a polytechnic institute. Myron Angel, chronicler of San Luis Obispo County history, became an ardent supporter of the idea and articulated a vision to establish a school that would “teach the hand as well as the head.” The plan succeeded and on March 8, 1901, legislation was signed founding the California Polytechnic School, then a vocational high school. During the ensuing three decades, Cal Poly evolved into the modern equivalent of a junior college, but its future became uncertain. In 1933, however, Julian A. McPhee, chief of the California Bureau of Agricultural Education, saved the institution from abolishment by agreeing to become school president. During the next 33 years, McPhee guided Cal Poly’s transformation into a four-year institution and set an educational standard still emulated today. Cal Poly’s first baccalaureate exercises were held in May 1942 and in 1947, the institution was officially renamed California State Polytechnic College. As programs continued to evolve, the institution became California Polytechnic State University in 1972. The Learn by Doing ethos continues to inform the paths Cal Poly’s alumni pursue, and they keep the friendships they start here. They also learn by succeeding. Median starting salary for recent graduates was $50,000 (beating all other CSU and UC campuses) and mid-career salaries for Cal Poly alumni are better than all UC and CSU campuses except Berkeley and UC San Diego -- and better than many private universities. More than half of Cal Poly seniors have a job offer in hand before they graduate -- even in today’s difficult economy.
Dedicated in 2006 and situated outside of Alex G. Spanos Stadium, Mustang Memorial Plaza commemorates the 16 Cal Poly football players, team manager and program supporter who perished Oct. 29, 1960 in an airplane accident outside of Toledo, Ohio.

CAL POLY ADMINISTRATION
PRESIDENT JEFFREY D. ARMSTRONG
effrey D. Armstrong, former dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and professor of Animal Science at Michigan State, officially began his duties as president at Cal Poly on Feb. 1, 2011. Armstrong was head of the Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University from 1997 to 2001. He served in various positions at North Carolina State University from 1986 through 1997. “Cal Poly has an excellent reputation for preparing the knowledge leaders that help to drive California’s economy,” Armstrong said. “I am honored to join such an outstanding university and excited about engaging students, faculty and alumni to build on its strong foundation and create opportunities for the future.” Armstrong, who was raised on a beef cattle, swine and tobacco farm in western Kentucky, attended Murray State where he received a bachelor’s degree in agriculture in 1981. He received both a master’s (1984) and doctorate (1986) in physiology and endocrinology from North Carolina State. The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State has a total budget of more than $290 million for more than 4,500 students. During Armstrong’s tenure, faculty general fund FTE increased 44 percent, overall grant activity increased 146 percent and annual development funds increased by more than 250 percent. More than $200 million (with over $60 million in endowments) was been raised during his tenure. Through the efforts of Armstrong and other members of the administrative team, CANR undergraduate student minority population increased from 8.3 to 11.8 percent and minority faculty increased from 9.9 to 19 percent. In addition, annual revenue from off-campus credit instruction has increased more

than 20 percent during each of the last six years. “Dr. Armstrong’s outstanding academic credentials, leadership abilities and strong grounding in agriculture and science will be tremendous assets to the university and the community as it moves forward,” California State University Trustee Roberta Achtenberg, chair of the presidential search committee, said. “His reputation for teaching excellence and commitment to student-centered learning are the right complements to Cal Poly’s learn-bydoing philosophy.” As a faculty member at North Carolina State, Armstrong was engaged in the classroom, advising students, revising general university requirements and starting a Freshman College. He received numerous teaching awards at North Carolina State, including the designation as Alumni Distinguished Professor for Undergraduate Teaching. Armstrong’s laboratory-based research focused on nutrition and reproduction in bovine and porcine females and more recent work has been in social responsibility in the food chain. He has been a key participant in more than $9 million in grants and cooperative agreements. He has written or contributed to more than 45 scientific journal articles. Armstrong also serves as chair of the United Egg Producers Animal Welfare Advisory Committee. He advises McDonald’s Corporation in animal welfare, as well as broader issues related to corporate social responsibility. He served as chair of the Board of Agriculture Assembly Farm Bill Committee and co-chair of CREATE-21 (Creating, Research, Extension and Teaching Excellence for the 21st century), and contributed to significant changes in the most recent Congressional Farm Bill. Armstrong also served on the USDA Agricultural Research, Extension, Education and Economics Advisory Committee and recently completed service on the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Seventh District Advisory Council. Armstrong and his wife, Sharon, have two children. Jessica is a medical student at Michigan State and Zack is a finance major, also at Michigan State.
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DON OBERHELMAN CAL POLY DIVISION I HONORS
onald J. Oberhelman was named Cal Poly’s Director of Athletics on March 17, 2011. Oberhelman, 43, came to Cal Poly after serving as the Chief Operating Officer and Senior Associate Athletic Director at San Diego State University. In that capacity, he was responsible for the daily operations of San Diego State’s intercollegiate athletics program, including budget planning, hiring and evaluation of coaches, facilities and event management. He also worked closely with San Diego State’s fundraising team. “Cal Poly has a great tradition of academic excellence and we want to continue to build on that tradition in everything we do. For many people, athletics is the first impression they have of the university. We must make sure these impressions are great ones,” Oberhelman said at the time of his hiring. “We know our primary obligation is to develop our student-athletes. I want us to be leaders in graduation rates as well as in championships. But the receipt of a degree is not enough. It must be in a field of interest to the student-athlete and it must lead to a rewarding career. “We will not compromise and place student-athletes on the perceived shortest path to a degree. Here’s the bottom line for Cal Poly Athletics: We are in the business of developing citizens and leaders. Along the way, we can also win championships. Experiencing what it takes to be a champion is a great education in and of itself.” Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong echoed Oberhelman’s sentiments. “Don’s goal is for all of our student-athletes to leave Cal Poly with a diploma and a championship ring,” Armstrong said. “That’s a great goal for our student-athletes and our fans.” Prior to his tenure at San Diego State, Oberhelman served as the senior associate athletic director at Southern Mississippi (2002-07), the education coordinator for athletics at Texas A&M (1998-2002) and as a compliance assistant at Florida State (1995-1998). He earned his bachelor’s in business administration at Kansas State and his master’s in athletic administration at Florida State.

Completed in 2006, Alex G. Spanos Stadium (above) hosts Cal Poly’s football and men’s and women’s soccer programs. The Mustang football team christened the complex on Nov. 18, 2006 with a 55-0 victory versus Savannah State, while a program-record 11,075 spectators packed Spanos Stadium Sept. 15, 2007 for Cal Poly’s season home-opening win against Weber State. On Oct. 17, 2008, another sellout crowd of 11,075 supporters – then the thirdlargest regular season crowd figure in NCAA men’s soccer history – flooded Spanos Stadium for Cal Poly’s nationally-televised showdown against central coast rival UC Santa Barbara. During the 2009 season, the men’s soccer program ranked third among NCAA Division I programs by averaging 2,213 fans per home date.
Cal Poly’s volleyball, wrestling and basketball programs call the 3,032-seat Mott Athletics Center (right) home. A new $700,000 floor was installed during the summer of 2007 along with two videoboards ($750,000) prior to the 2014-15 campaign. During recent years, Mott has hosted the Pac-12 Conference Wrestling Championships and, in front of a sold-out audience, the first and seconds rounds of the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Tournament (also right). The men’s basketball program produced a pair of sellouts against UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis a year ago as well as another against Big West regular-season champion UC Irvine on Feb. 1, 2014. Additionally, the Mustang women’s basketball program drew a program-record 2,552 fans for a March 5, 2011 game against UC Santa Barbara.
Remodeled at a cost of more than $3 million, the Olympic-sized Anderson Aquatic Center (left) was completed in August 2009 and plays host to both Cal Poly’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. Situated adjacent to the Mott Athletics Center, the pool measures 12,348 square feet. Eight 50-yard lanes highlight the complex, which also provides for a total of eighteen 25-yard cross course lanes. The complex also features a 15-by-30-foot all-shallow therapy pool. Anderson Aquatic Center held its first official event on Oct. 3, 2009, when the Mustang women’s swimming program welcomed thendefending national champion California to San Luis Obispo.
ADDITIONAL CAL POLY ATHLETICS FACILITY HIGHLIGHTS
• With a picturesque mountain backdrop ringing the landscape, Ozzie Smith Plaza was completed in 2001 and plays host to the Bob Janssen Field softball and Baggett Stadium baseball venues. The Mustang baseball team regularly draws four-figure attendances -- 15 crowds in excess of 2,000 fans in 2014 -- and hosts nationally ranked competition. The Mustang softball program, which clinched its first Big West title in 2007 at Janssen Field, drew an overflow, program-record 1,532 fans for a 2007 doubleheader against perennial national powerhouse UCLA. Both venues feature spacious clubhouses, as well as batting cages and bullpen areas for both teams.

MUSTANGS EXCEL IN THE CLASSROOM
or more than 100 years, Cal Poly’s student-athletes have been dedicated to excellence in both the athletic and academic arenas. During the 2014-15 scholastic year alone, 75 Mustangs were named to all-conference academic teams. Since Cal Poly transitioned to the Division I level in 1994, the school has enjoyed 864 total all-conference academic selections – an average of over 41 per year. Taking pride in each student’s ability to excel both athletically and intellectually, Cal Poly and the athletics department offer guidance and support to each student-athlete during his or her tenure. To support these motives, the athletics department initiated the Academic Resource Center.
Opened in 2001, the center provides yearround academic support, tutoring, workshops and academic advising. The center has also developed study hall programs with bi-quarterly progress checks, weekly academic appointments and a first-year seminar class for incoming student-athletes. In deference to the student-athlete’s need for class schedule flexibility, Cal Poly also offers in-season priority registration for two of the three quarters during which competition occurs. Of the 64 major courses offered at Cal Poly, Mustang student-athletes were enrolled in 52 separate areas, as of the Fall 2014 term.
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE
Featuring 21 varsity programs, the Cal Poly Athletics Department is in its 22nd year of NCAA Division I competition since completing reclassification in 1994. With the exception of football (Big Sky Conference), wrestling (Pac-12 Conference) and the men’s and women’s swimming and indoor track and field programs (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), Cal Poly is also in its 20th year as a member of the Big West Conference. Among Big West institutions, only UC Davis (22 programs) boasts more athletic disciplines than Cal Poly. Prior to transitioning to the Division I level, Cal Poly ranked as the most successful institution in the history of NCAA Division II athletics with 35 national team titles. Cal Poly has continued its winning tradition at the top flight with teams and individuals routinely earning conference championships and NCAA Tournament berths. During the 2013-14 academic year, the athletics department -- which added sand volleyball in 2014 -saw the men’s basketball, men’s tennis and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships. Individually, Nick Dzubnar (football), Brandon Howe (football) and Ashley Windsor (women’s track and field) each earned All-America honors during the 2014-15 academic year. Conference champions include Justin De Los Santos (men’s golf), Jimmy Deiparine (men’s swimming), Nick Woolf (men’s track and field) and Molly Haar (women’s track and field). Second baseman Mark Mathias was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the third round of the MLB Draft in June 2015. Named Big West athletes of the year were Peter Van Gansen (baseball, defensive player of the year), Chase Minter (men’s soccer, midfielder of the year) and Wade Hamilton (men’s soccer, goalkeeper of the year). As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 75 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2014-15 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports. Cal Poly athletes have consistently excelled outside the bounds of the collegiate arena. Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Other prominent post-Cal Poly examples include All-American wide receiver Ramses Barden (2005-08), who was a third-round selection by the New York Giants in 2009 and is currently with the Buffalo Bills. Former linebacker Chris Gocong (2002-05) – one of Cal Poly’s three Buck Buchanan Award winners as the Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player – made 35 starts in three active seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the Cleveland Browns in 2010.

Cal Poly Weight Room Sports a New Look
The Mott Athletics Center weight room now features state-of-the-art equipment, thanks to $150,000 in donations from over 20 donors, many of them parents of Cal Poly football players. A view of the old facility is shown in upper right corner.

uring the summer of 2013, the Mott Athletics Center weight room for Cal Poly Athletics underwent a $150,000 renovation, thanks in large part to philanthropic support from parents of football players in addition to football alumni and area supporters. The 2,500-square-foot facility, under the direction of Cal Poly strength and conditioning coach Chris Holder, services over 550 student-athletes and had not been improved since it was originally built 16 years ago. "This gift is one of the most important projects our Athletics Department can receive," said Holder. "The weight room is the only place in our program that sees every student-athlete on a regular basis. We impact the life of every Mustang athlete and, now, we will be doing so in a state-ofthe-art facility." The 2013 renovation included new equipment, new platforms, new lighting, a new sound system, repair of the concrete floor, fresh paint and Cal Poly Mustang Branding throughout. "The project was originally proposed by parents of two football players who wanted to see improvements for today's student athletes," said Ashley Offermann, associate
athletics director for development. "Football head coach Tim Walsh was a driving force and approved the funding priority that would benefit all of Cal Poly's athletic programs." In total, there were over 20 donors who gave in excess of $150,000 to complete the project, Offermann added. In the spring of 2013, Walsh and director of athletics Don Oberhelman collaborated on the idea and plans to remodel the facility. "This project is being funded on the backs of our football parents," said Oberhelman. "Coach Walsh jumped on board with this project in the beginning, putting football-specific concerns on hold, knowing what a huge impact this will have for every one of our sports. "Offermann then worked very hard to put a plan in place to reach out to the football parents and a few former football players, and they have responded," Oberhelman added. "When we looked at our needs in football and looked at the needs of the department, Don and myself decided that what is best for both the department and football is to help remodel the weight room," said Walsh. The additions that will be made will make the facility attractive enough for us with the
13
recruiting process. "Most importantly, it will provide a better atmosphere for Chris to do the things he wants to do with the athletes," Walsh added. "I'd like to thank all the football parents and alumni involved with the funding of the project." Holder feels the project will help fulfill his master plan and provide the tools necessary for carrying off his ideas. "The football parents who so generously donated the funds to make this a reality have given my staff and myself the opportunity to really push the limits of our knowledge and creativity," said Holder. "This project gives their sons, as well as all other student-athletes, male and female, at Cal Poly the best opportunity to develop a physical edge. "Plain and simple, I need the athletes to walk into our space and WANT to train in our facility," Holder added. We have a room, now, that will be a source of pride for our athletes, for our coaches and staff and a place that will be a valuable tool in the recruiting process of future Mustangs. "If you have the right energy in the room, if the gear is updated and purposeful, every Mustang athlete has the opportunity to reach their physical potential," Holder said.

Cal Poly Weight Room Sports a New Look
Another view of the renovated Mott Athletics Center weight room, which includes repair of the floor and walls, paint, new lighting, a sound system and branding. Mustang student-athletes began using the new facility in September 2013.
"Like the other colleges here on campus, we have nicknamed the room "The Cal Poly School of Strength". During construction, the weight room's old equipment was moved outdoors behind the Mott Athletics Center, used by the athletes in preparation for the fall sports season. Preparing the weight room for the remodeling project involved the masonry and carpentry skills of Holder, his assistants (Cameron Van Wye, Sara Bergheger and Andy Sverchek) and director of facilities and event operations Jesse Latino. Facility Services provided assistance with repairing the concrete below the rubber flooring. Repairing and reinforcing the walls to prevent further damage was completed prior to painting the facility and installing updated lighting, a sound system and fresh branding. "In keeping with the theme of service to
our student-athletes, improving the weight room is the fastest and most impactful way to better their Cal Poly experience," said Oberhelman. "I want to give a big thank you to those of you who have helped to make this happen." The Mustang coaching staff is just as enthusiastic about the project. "One of the coolest aspects about Cal Poly athletics is how the student-athletes from every sport support and encourage each other," said women's basketball head coach Faith Mimnaugh. "Perhaps the greatest example of this is when you witness a strength-training session. Athletes from different sports come together to train to improve their strength, quickness and power. "All the athletes will benefit from the weight room renovation," Mimnaugh added. "The contributors who made it possible will
know that they are providing tomorrow's leaders with a facility that matches the excellence that these students display on the field, on the court and in the classroom. Great things can be accomplished through teamwork and selflessness." Added women's volleyball head coach Sam Crosson, "The renovation of the weight room facility at Cal Poly will have a significant impact on both current and future student-athletes, not only for our program but for all of the student athletes on campus. The facility is the foundation for improving athletic performance and its modernization will have an immediate effect on the future success of our program."

During the summer of 2013, student-athletes went outside to use the old weight room equipment behind Mott Athletics Center.

Big Sky Conference
Cal Poly, along with UC Davis, North Dakota and Southern Utah, started competition in the expanded Big Sky Conference in the fall of 2012. Cal Poly and the Aggies accepted invitations from the Big Sky Conference in September 2010 to become affiliate members in the sport of football only. North Dakota and Southern Utah joined the Big Sky as full-fledged members in December 2010. Cal Poly and UC Davis maintain membership in the Big West Conference for the majority of their other sports. “The geography of the Big Sky Conference makes perfect sense for Cal Poly,” said then-Cal Poly interim president Dr. Robert Glidden during a 2010 press conference. “It gives us a consistently competitive schedule and a great opportunity to grow long-term, stable rivalries with wellrespected teams.” Added then-Mustang director of athletics Alison Cone, “We’re very excited about joining the Big Sky Conference. Our goal all along has been to find stability for our football program, and the Big Sky Conference gives us exactly what we need to enhance our program. The Big Sky Conference is one of the best FCS conferences in the country and offers great competition with teams that are natural rivals in our region. “We’re able to continue our great rivalry with UC Davis and renew rivalries with other West region schools,” Cone added. “The scheduling improvements will give our student-athletes an opportunity to vie for a conference championship which provides an automatic berth into the NCAA playoffs. It’s also a victory for our fans, who will get a chance to watch some of the best FCS schools in the country year in and year out.” Doug Fullerton, commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, said, “The Big Sky is already recognized as one of the top Football Championship Subdivision conferences in the nation. The addition of Cal Poly and UC Davis to our lineup will strengthen us even more. “This is a great fit for both institutions and the Big Sky Conference,” Fullerton added. “We are bringing in two strong western FCS programs. They will benefit from us in having access to an automatic playoff bid and a full slate of conference games.” Cal Poly head football coach Tim Walsh was head coach at Big Sky Conference member Portland State for 14 seasons Doug Fullerton (1993-2006), the final 11 years in the Big Sky Conference after Big Sky Commissioner the Vikings elevated their athletics program from Division II to Division I in 1996, before moving on to the U.S. Military Academy (Army) as offensive coordinator for the 2007 and 2008 campaigns. Walsh was named head coach at Cal Poly on Jan. 9, 2009. “This is great news for our athdent-athletes,” Walsh said. “We are extremely excited to be a part of arguably the best NCAA FCS conference in the country. It is a conference that we are familiar with, the competition is top-flight and that will only make us better. “The Big Sky is regionalized in the western part of the country,” Walsh added. “All of that leads to stability for our football program.” In their first two FCS seasons, the Mustangs were members of the American West Conference (1994 and 1995) before becoming an independent for eight years. Cal Poly and five other schools, including UC Davis, formed the Great West Conference in 2004. The Mustangs won Great West titles in 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2011. The Big Sky Conference is entering its 53rd year of athletic competition this fall and, prior to the recent addition of four teams, was a nine-team league for football since 2006 when Northern Colorado joined the conference. Eastern Washington captured the 2010 FCS championship while Montana played for the national championship in football each of the two previous years. Big Sky teams have won the Division I national title six times -- Boise State (1980), Idaho State (1981), Montana State (1984), Montana (1995 and 2001) and Eastern Washington (2010). Big Sky teams have made 13 total appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision national title game. The Big Sky has been represented in the playoffs by at least two teams in 29 of the past 31 years, including three teams on six occasions -- 1988, 1990, 1994, 2003, 2009, 2012 with Cal Poly, Montana State and Eastern Washington and 2014 -- and four in 2013. Since 1993, a total of 15 Big Sky teams have made it to at least the semifinals of the playoffs. The Big Sky has advanced two teams to the quarterfinals four of the last nine seasons. Montana has appeared in seven national championship games since 1995. Since 2000, eight of the 13 Big Sky teams have made at least one playoff appearance. The Big Sky Conference has produced seven winners of the Walter Payton Award, which goes to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level, along with six Buck Buchanan Award winners (top defensive player in the FCS) and a pair of Eddie Robinson Award winners (FCS coach of the year). Defensive end Brad Daly of Montana State claimed the 2013 Buchanan award while Cooper Kupp of Eastern Washington earned the Jerry Rice Award (Freshman of the Year). Since moving to the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) in 1994, Cal Poly is 44-44 against teams from the Big Sky Conference, including a 33-17 mark in the last 50 games from 2004-14. Cal Poly was 5-1 against Big Sky members in 2005, best in school history prior to becoming a Big Sky member in 2012, en route to its first NCAA FCS playoff berth. The Mustangs also qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in 2008 and 2012.

Senior Tu’uta Inoke is the heir apparent to Dzubnar’s position at Mike linebacker while junior Joseph Gigantino is listed No. 1 at the Sam spot. Inoke logged 29 tackles, including 3.5 for lost yardage, a year ago while Gigantino was limited to seven games and earned three tackles and forced a fumble. “I feel really good about our linebackers, to be honest,” said Walsh. “There’s not a lot of experience there and, in spring camp, we found out how quickly they can make up for their lack of fouryear college experience.”
Chris Brown passed for 1,465 yards and, with a team-leading 1,265 yards on the ground, became the first quarterback in Cal Poly football history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season.
C
al Poly proved last season it can move the ball and score points.
The Mustangs produced at least 450 yards of offense in each of their last 10 games and averaged 483 yards and 34 points a contest en route to a 7-5 mark in the 2014 season.
With nine of the 11 starters on offense returning next fall, the focus of the 2015 Spring Camp was on the other side of the ball, where replacements must be found for first-team All-Big Sky Conference linebackers Nick Dzubnar and Cameron Ontko along with safeties Jordan Williams and Dave Douglas and linemen Chris Lawrence and Chris Judge.
“No question, the defensive side needs to grow dramatically with the personnel we have,” said seventh-year Mustang head coach Tim Walsh. “We might play more 3-4 than 4-3, use multiple sets and see how our guys grasp it.”
Burton De Koning returns for his final season and will move to the Will
Challenging the trio are junior Chris Santini, a transfer from Boise State, and sophomore R.J. Mazolewski at Sam, redshirt freshman Clayton Hibbert at Mike and junior Charlie Davis, a transfer from Laney College, along with redshirt freshmen Anders Turner and Noah Letuligasenoa at Will. Linebackers
“Gigantino has Burton De Koning (6-2, 230, Sr.) shown flashes 43 Tackles, 2.5 TFLs, 3 Hurries in 2014 of greatness, Tu’uta Inoke (6-1, 240, Sr.) Davis, Santini 29 Tackles, 3.5 TFLs in 2014 and Letuligasenoa all are ready to compete and it was a real interesting spring at linebacker,” Walsh said. “Overall, it will be very competitive among the top seven or eight guys.”
On the defensive front, senior Logan Mayes returns at one end while junior Josh Letuligasenoa tops the depth chart on the other end. Mayes collected 14 tackles in 2014 while Letuligasenoa was fourth on the team with 65 tackles, including 6.0 for lost yardage, along with two hurries and a fumble recovery.
Sophomore Jack Ferguson moves from linebacker to an end position, but Miles Williams, also a sophomore who shifted from the offensive line to a defensive end spot, injured an Achilles heel in the weight room and is out for the season. Other challengers at end are juniors Colin Dzubnar and Kelly Shepard. “Ferguson and Josh Letuligasenoa are two guys who could play two positions depending on if we are in a 3-4 or 4-3 play call,” said Walsh.

Finding replacements for Douglas and Williams at the two safety spots was another priority during the spring.
Senior Kaulin Blair played all 12 games as a backup safety a year ago, recording 16 tackles, and will be challenged by sophomore Kevin Griffin, a transfer from Washington State, along with junior Darren Adjei, a Bakersfield College product, and Mission Prep graduate Calvin Levisay. Heir apparent at the other safety spot is junior B.J. Nard, a redshirt in 2012 who missed the entire 2013 and 2014 seasons following a knee

As a sophomore, Kori Garcia rushed for 1,039 yards and seven scores, averaging 6.6 yards per carry a year ago. he also caught 17 passes for 146 yards and two TDs.
“Playing defensive end and linebacker takes a lot of athleticism and you have to be a multiple type of player. We feel Ferguson and Josh can fulfill that role.”
Junior Marcus PaigeAllen returns at one defensive tackle spot while the coaching staff must find a replacement for Lawrence at the other tackle position. Paige-Allen recorded 40 tackles, 4.0 for lost yardage, and a pair of pass breakups in 2014. Paige-Allen will be challenged by Wake Forest transfer Andrew
Hauser, senior Dylan Gutierrez and redshirt freshman Tiasamo Savusa.

Augustino Elisaia, who played all 12 games as a true freshman in 2014, is listed No. 1 on the spring depth chart at the other defensive tackle position, backed up by senior Tyler Alsey and junior Jason Patterson. Alsey picked up a pair of tackles a year ago while Patterson sat out the 2014 season after suffering a knee injury in the
The cornerback positions had more experience heading into spring camp with the return of starters Chris Fletcher on the left side and Karlton Dennis on the right side. Both are seniors. Dennis compiled 44 tackles, three interceptions and seven pass breakups a year ago while Fletcher notched 68 tackles (5.5 for lost yardage), one interception and 10 pass breakups.
Fernando Cabico also returns for his final year after corralling 15 tackles and three pass breakups a year ago. He will challenge Fletcher along with redshirt freshman JT Los Banos, a walk-on from Iolani High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Porche. Backing up Dennis will be redshirt freshman Kai Sheffie, sophomore Matt McNab, transfer Jerek Rosales from Diablo Valley College and senior Tim Puerling.
“Many of the younger players got a lot of reps this spring in order to determine where they fit on the depth chart,” said Walsh.
On offense, the group of nine returning starters is led by senior quarterback Chris Brown and junior slotback Kori Garcia. Brown and Garcia both rushed for over 1,000

yards – only the second time in school history that the Mustangs had a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in a season – and combined for 24 touchdowns on the ground and 14 more through the air. Brown completed 60 percent of his 171 passes for 1,465 yards and 12 scores and was intercepted just three times. He rushed for 1,265 yards and 17 touchdowns, averaging 5.1 yards per carry.
Quarterback
Chris Brown (6-2, 200, Sr.) 102-171-3, 12 TDs in 2014 249 rushes, 1,265 yards, 17 TDs in 2014 All-Big Sky Third Team, 2014 66-117-4, 836 Yards, 11 TDs in 2013 126 rushes, 751 yards, 8 TD in 2013 Dano Graves (5-9, 185, Sr.) 6-10-0, 83, 1 TD in 2014 45-75-5, 416 Yards, 3 TD in 2013
Senior Dano Graves returns for his final season at quarterback. Due to Brown’s success, Graves appeared in just five games as a junior and completed six of 10 passes for 83 yards and a score and rushed for 169 yards and five touchdowns.
“The continued development of Brown at quarterback will be key to our success this fall,” said Walsh. “He had an absolutely great year as a junior and we have great expectations for him this year. If we get him to play as well as last year, we will be successful.” Other quarterbacks in camp include junior Andrew Barna, sophomore Grant Caraway and freshman Khaleel Jenkins. Garcia’s challengers are redshirt freshman Alex Suchesk, sophomore Joshua Jeter and freshman Nate Greenelsh.
Candidates at the other slotback position to replace Chris Nicholls and Kenny Mitchell are Stokes, transfer DJ Peluso from College of San Mateo, sophomore Kyle Lewis and redshirt
Against Weber State, Brown accomplished a feat never done before in Cal Poly’s 21 Division I seasons – running and passing for touchdowns as well as catching a scoring pass. He is the first Mustang quarterback ever to rush for over 1,000 yards and broke the Big Sky mark for rushing yards by a signal caller. Brown enters his senior season with seven career 100-yard games.
Garcia netted 1,039 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground and caught 17 passes for 146 yards and another pair of scores in 2014. He could shoulder a larger burden of carries this fall with the departure of fullback Brandon Howe, who rushed for 867 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Tucker has caught 60 passes, 11 for touchdowns, in his Mustang career. Tucker will be backed up at one wide receiver spot by senior Roland Jackson Jr. (14 catches, 415 yards, one TD in 2014), redshirt freshman Kory Fox and walk-on Victor Beglistoff, another redshirt freshman.
On the other side, senior Jordan Hines (16-3124) begins Fall Camp No. 1 on the depth chart, challenged by junior Carson McMurtrey (3-260) and freshmen J.J. Koski and Jake Smeltzer.
When Cal Poly needs a tight end in the game, sophomore Reagan Enger will get the call with former Mustang men’s basketball player Max Betkowski joining the fray as a walk-on.
All five starters on the offensive front return, though there is an open spot with the departure of Williams to the defensive line.
Senior Stephen Sippel returns for his final season snapping the ball while guards Billy Shipman and Nick Enriquez, both sophomores, also return. Senior Weston Walker anchors the offensive line at right tackle.

“There is no question we need to come out of the gate fast,” said Walsh. “We need to start well and finish well if we are to achieve our goals.” The Mustangs close out the 2015 season with home games against Portland State,

Cal Poly Football History -- Emmy Award Winner John Madden
Legendary NFL broadcaster and former Cal Poly football player John Madden called his final NFL game in 2008 after three seasons with NBC on its Sunday Night Football telecast. He worked for four seasons with Al Michaels as expert analyst for “Monday Night Football” on ABC. Madden, who is synonymous with NFL football for millions of fans nationwide, brought his ability to explain the game’s finer points along with his unique sense of humor to Monday Night Football in 2002 after 21 seasons as a game analyst for CBS and Fox. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has honored Madden with an unprecedent-
ed 16 Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst Emmy Awards, the most recent in recognition for his work during the 2008 season. In all, Madden has been nominated for a record 20 Emmy Awards. In addition, the American Sportscasters Association named him Sports Personality of the Year in 1985 and 1992 and, in 1982, Madden became the first NFL analyst to receive the Touchdown Club of America’s prestigious Golden Mike Award. Prior to joining the broadcasting ranks, Madden had an outstanding career as head coach of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. He guided the Raiders to an overall record of 103-32-7, leading the team to seven AFC Western Division titles and a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI. Madden’s winning percentage (.750) is the best of any head coach in NFL history. A linebacker coach when he began his NFL coaching career with Oakland in 1967, Madden became the head coach in 1969 at age 33, the youngest head coach in the American Football League. Madden retired in 1979 and started his football broad-

casting career at CBS in 1980. Before coaching in Oakland, Madden was the defensive coordinator at San Diego State from 1964-1966 where the Aztecs were ranked first among small colleges with a 26-4 record. From 19601963 Madden coached at Hancock College in Santa Maria. Madden started on both the offensive and defensive lines as a player for Cal Poly in 1957 and 1958 and was voted to the all-conference team. He was also a catcher on the school’s baseball team. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1959 and a Master of Arts degree in 1961, both from Cal Poly. The Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the 21st round of the 1958 NFL draft, but a knee injury in his rookie season prematurely ended his career. Madden is also the author of several books. His latest effort is a cookbook titled “John Madden’s Ultimate Tailgating” released in 1998. His first four books — “Hey Wait a Minute, I wrote a Book,” “One Knee Equals Two Feet (and Everything Else You Wanted To Know About Football),” “One Size Doesn’t Fit All,” and “All Madden,” each written with New York Times sports columnist Dave Anderson — all reached the New York Times best-seller list. Born April 10, 1936 in Austin, Minnesota, Madden was raised in Daly City. He now resides in Pleasanton with his wife, Virginia. The couple, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2009, has two sons and five grandchildren.

Cal Poly Head Football Coach Tim Walsh
im Walsh, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the United States Military Academy for two seasons, was named Cal Poly’s 16th head football coach on Jan. 9, 2009, and, after guiding the Mustangs to a 4-7 mark in his first campaign, turned it around with three consecutive winning seasons (7-4, 6-5, 9-3), a Great West Conference title in 2011 and, in his fourth year at the helm of the Mustangs, a share of the Big Sky Conference crown and an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth in 2012. Cal Poly finished 6-6 in 2013, 7-5 last fall and the Mustangs are 17-7 in their first three seasons in the Big Sky. “Tim Walsh relishes his role as an educator at Cal Poly," said Mustang director of athletics Don Oberhelman. "He embraces our high academic standards and has built an excellent football program with these standards as the cornerstone. "Tim fully understands the academic demands of Cal Poly students and our Learn by Doing philosophy," Oberhelman added. "I can't imagine a better marriage between a football coach and a university than what we have with Tim Walsh at Cal Poly." Walsh replaced Rich Ellerson, the Mustangs’ head football coach for eight seasons. Ellerson was named head coach at Army on Dec. 26, 2008. “We had several outstanding applicants from which to choose, but I am thrilled we were able to hire a person with such outstanding credentials to direct this program,” then-director of athletics Alison Cone said of Walsh in 2009. “He is a highcharacter, high-quality individual who brings great passion and enthusiasm to our campus.” "You couldn’t ask for a better coach than Tim Walsh,” said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. “Besides his understanding of football and his outstanding credentials, he knows how to lead student athletes to live the Mustang Way -- with pride, honor, integrity and excellence both on and off the field.” Walsh has compiled a 156-112 record in 24 seasons as a college head coach, including four years at Sonoma State (27-14 from 1989-92), 14 more seasons at Portland State (90-68 from 19932006) and six at Cal Poly (39-30 from 2009-14). He guided Sonoma State to the Northern California Athletic Conference title in 1991 (ending UC Davis’ streak of 20 consecutive conference titles), a pair of NCAA Division II playoff berths while at Sonoma State and four more postseason berths while at Portland State. “I have a tremendous working knowledge of Cal Poly, its history and current status,” Walsh said at the time of his hiring. “The combination of a tremendous academic university, a tremendous area to recruit and live, and a football program that’s winning all added up to a great opportunity for me. “My goals are to continue to recruit student-athletes whose goals are to be the best they can be, both in the class and on the field, and become quality young men,” Walsh added. “If we do that, winning won’t be a problem. This is an opportunity to build a great program and develop a great relationship between the campus and the community at large.” Ted Tollner, former Mustang quarterback who has held numerous coaching positions at the college and professional levels, praised the hiring of Walsh.

“He did an excellent job at Portland State and is extremely well respected in the profession,” said Tollner. “Cal Poly had some great candidates for the position and I think he’s an excellent choice. He will keep the program moving forward and continue the success it has had in recent years. “People who have worked for him have great respect for his total abilities from a recruiting standpoint, his communication with players, his sound philosophy and his winning record,” Tollner added. “His track record speaks for itself.” Added Bobby Beathard, also a former Mustang who has held numerous positions in the NFL, including scout, personnel director and general manager, "Tim Walsh is a terrific choice. He will be a tireless recruiter, he knows what athletes are and what kind of athletes will fit into the program. "I am excited about him. it's a great choice," Beathard added. "When you find a guy that is really good for you, you grab him and I am glad Cal Poly hired him." A charismatic speaker and motivator, Walsh guided Sonoma State to three winning seasons in four years at the helm of the Seawolves and 10 more above-.500 campaigns in his 14-year term at Portland State. With the Vikings, Walsh coached 14 All-Americans and 11 Academic All-Americans. Teri Mariani, who was director of athletics at Portland State when Walsh accepted the duties of offensive coordinator at Army, said at the time of his departure that “Tim showed great loyalty to our program and led us through a transition to Division I that a lot of coaches wouldn’t have wanted to do. He has had proven success both on the football field and off, and he’s always been such a team player within our department. “Two words that describe him in my eyes are loyalty and class,” Mariani added. “In his 14 years (at Portland State), he has never done one thing that could change that opinion of him." Portland State joined the Big Sky Conference in 1996. During Walsh’s 11 seasons when the Vikings were in the Big Sky, he coached players who earned 39 first-team All-Big Sky honors, 51 on the second

Portland State elevated its athletics program to Division I in 1996 and, though the Vikings struggled in the first three years at that level, there was steady progression -from 3-8 to 4-7 and 5-6. The 1999 Viking team began a string of seven winning campaigns in eight seasons, including a Football
Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) playoff berth in 2000.

Cal Poly Assistant Football Coaches
Jim Craft
Third Year • Portland State ‘98
Assistant Coach (Wide Receivers) Special Teams Coordinator
Jim Craft was added to Cal Poly's football coaching staff as wide receivers coach in May 2013 and was given additional duties as special teams coordinator prior to the 2015 season. "Craft played and coached for me, so I have known him for a long time," Walsh said. "He coached for me for six years at Portland State, and I believe bringing that experience was critical to our development as a staff. His input will be invaluable to us because of his experience as a coordinator." Craft came to Cal Poly after serving three seasons as offensive coordinator at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. He has a wealth of experience at the Division I level and a wide knowledge of the vaunted West Coast offense. In his first two seasons at Pacific, Craft built a team comprised exclusively of underclassmen into one of the top passing attacks in all of NCAA Division III football. The Boxers finished 2011 ranked third in the Northwest Conference and 23rd among Division III teams with an average of 282.3 yards per game. Pacific's four quarterbacks combined for a pass efficiency rating of 134.63, third best in the NWC and 65th among all Division III programs. Prior to his stint at Pacific, Craft coached for nine years at his alma mater, Portland State. Craft became a student of the Run and Shoot offense under legendary Mouse Davis as well as Walsh’s West Coast offense. Craft was offensive coordinator for Portland State in 2009 under then-head coach Jerry Glanville and also served one season as offensive line coach and one year as wide receivers coach under Glanville and Mouse, who was offensive coordinator in 2007 and 2008. Craft worked with first-team All-Big Sky Conference and third-team All-American wide receiver Tremayne Kirkland in 2007. Under Walsh from 2001-06, Craft worked five seasons as the tight ends coach and one year as quarterbacks coach. He also assumed the duty of special teams coordinator for four seasons and coached tight end Tony Curtis, who has played for six NFL teams. Prior to joining the Portland State staff, Craft worked the 1999 and 2000 seasons as the tight ends coach at Lewis & Clark College. He played his collegiate football at Portland State from 1995-98 under Walsh, catching 57 passes and scoring nine touchdowns. He earned his bachelor's degree in psychology from Portland State in 1998 and a master's in teaching in 2003.

Eti Ena

Third Year • Eastern Washington ‘05
Assistant Coach (Defensive Line)
Eti Ena was hired as Cal Poly's defensive line coach in June 2013. "Ena brings experience, not only as a defensive line coach at an FBS school (Idaho), but also as a former defensive coordinator," said Mustang head coach Tim Walsh. "His enthusiasm and overall knowledge will benefit our entire program, not just the defensive line." In his first season at Cal Poly, Ena coached defensive tackle Sullivan Grosz, who earned eight All-America honors and was named co-defensive player of the year in the Big Sky Conference. Ena served on the University of Idaho football staff as the Vandals' defensive line coach for four seasons. At Idaho, Ena coached three defensive linemen who signed with National Football League teams -- Aaron Lavarias (New England Patriots), Michael Cosgrove (Detroit Lions) and Benson Mayowa (Seattle Seahawks). A graduate of Eastern Washington University, Ena's coaching career began at Shelton (Wash.), where he was an assistant coach for two seasons. He was an assistant coach at Eastern Washington for three seasons (200305) -- the first as assistant linebackers coach and the last two as defensive line coach. Ena then served three seasons (2006-08) at Eastern Oregon, where he was the Mountaineers' defensive coordinator, linebackers coach and strength and conditioning coordinator in 2006 and 2007 and assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator in 2008. Ena played linebacker at Utah's Snow College and Walla Walla (Wash.) Community College before transferring to Eastern Washington. A shoulder injury during his junior year ended his playing career. Ena and his wife, Latona, have three daughters, Corey (22), Moia (19) and Fuamai (16), and one son, Eti Jr. (12).

Offense Edges Defense 27-25 in 2015 Spring Game Despite Recording No Touchdowns
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The offense compiled 381 total yards and 21 first downs, but the defense kept the offense out of the end zone and forced a fumble on the final play of the 2015 Cal Poly Spring Football Game on Saturday, May 2, at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. A total of 13 Mustangs carried the ball and netted 278 yards on 71 carries, almost four yards per carry, and quarterbacks Andrew Barna and Kai Ross passed for 103 yards, but the green-clad offense was forced to settle for just a pair of field goals in the 90-minute scrimmage. "There is no question the defense outplayed the offense today," said seventh-year Mustang head coach Tim Walsh. "The offense was able to move the ball, but my hat is off to the defense for stopping the offense when they had to." Leading the defensive charge were tackle Tyler Alsey with eight stops, end Miles Williams, a converted offensive lineman, with seven tackles and linebackers Grant Alton and Burton De Koning, each with six tackles. Nate Palomino, Tyler Inoke and Jason Patterson all
notched quarterback hurries and, on the final play of the scrimmage, linebacker Anders Turner forced Austin Denham to fumble and defensive back Aaryn Bouzos fell on the loose ball, giving the defense six points. The offense, however, prevailed, 27-25, thanks in large part to the 21 first downs it managed to accumulate in the 90-play scrimmage ending the four-week, 15-practice spring camp. The two field goals the offense scored came courtesy of Stephen Pyle spanning 24 yards and Alex Vega covering 46 yards. But the spotlight was on the defense, which has to find two starters on the line, two in the linebacking corps and two more in the secondary. "All of the linebackers played well," noted Walsh, singling out Tu'uta Inoke, Joseph Gigantino, De Koning and transfers Chrris Santini (Boise State) and Charlie Davis (Laney College). "It was good to see them play well." Two other transfers, defensive backs Kevin Griffin (Washington State) and Darren Adjei (Bakersfield College), also drew praise from Walsh. "They have a
good chance to be in the starting lineup, but they still have to beat out some returnees in the fall." Another safety, redshirt junior B.J. Nard, in his fourth year with the program after missing the first three due to injury, notched a pair of tackles Saturday. Patterson missed the entire 2014 season after injuring a knee in last year's spring game. "I am proud of the way our defense kept the offense out of the end zone today," Walsh said. The running game was paced by fullback Jared Mohamed with 69 yards on 14 trips, Ross with 50 yards on 17 carries and slot back Alex Suchesk with 46 yards on nine trips. Barna completed six of seven passes for 53 yards while Ross was four of 12 for 50 yards. Top receivers were Kevin Porche with three catches and Carson McMurtrey, Roland Jackson Jr. and Suchesk, each with two receptions. Five punters each attempted one kick. Longest was 46 yards by Vega and Ean Hendrickson added a 41yarder. Jackson returned two kickoffs a total of 47 yards and Chris Fletcher had a 22-yard return.

Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs Expand to 24 Teams
Frisco, Texas, will be the host site for the NCAA Division I Football Championship game for the sixth straight year. Frisco emerged from a pool of several cities that submitted bids to serve as the host site for the championship game for three years, beginning with the 2010 season, and the contract has been extended. Hosted by the Southland Conference, the 2015 championship game will be played at Toyota Stadium on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2016. The championship game is the culmination of an expanded 24-team championship bracket. As a result of the expansion to 20 teams five years ago, the game is played a few weeks later than in years past. Cal Poly qualified for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in 2005, 2008 and 2012. Eastern Washington earned the 2010 title in the first game since the championship was moved from
Chattanooga, Tenn., while North Dakota State captured the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 crowns. The Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) includes the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship, in addition to two conferences who choose not to participate in the football championship, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high-level competition, student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience. Big Sky teams have made 13 total appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision national title game. The Big Sky has been represented in the playoffs by at least two teams in 29 of the past 31 years.

Mel Kaufman Award
Mel Kaufman, a linebacker on the Mustangs’ NCAA Division II national championship team in 1980 and an eight-year veteran of the Washington Redskins of the National Football League, passed away Feb. 7, 2009, in his Santa Margarita home. He was 50. Kaufman, inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993, played in three Super Bowls with the Redskins. He also was a scout for the Redskins in Super Bowl XXVI after the 1991 season. Kaufman was hired as linebackers coach at Cal Poly in the spring of 2008 and helped guide the Mustangs to an 8-3 record, a Great West Conference title and their second NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth. “It’s a tragedy. He was a good man and a compassionate man,” said former Cal Poly head coach Rich Ellerson. “He was just a good guy, a passionate guy, a Mustang.” Defensive back LeCharls McDaniel was a teammate of Kaufman on the Mustangs’ 1980 national championship team.
“Mel was a great human being on top of being a great football player,” said McDaniel. He was a great person, always got along with all people, very likeable. People don't know how good a man he really was, but the people who really knew him know. He affected people in a way he didn't even realize.” Born Feb. 24, 1958, in Los Angeles, Kaufman earned two varsity letters in football at Santa Monica High School, graduating in 1976. He played four seasons with the Mustangs after a redshirt year in 1976 and obtained his bachelor’s degree in social science and industrial relations at Cal Poly in 1984. The Mel Kaufman Award, established by current head coach Tim Walsh, is presented annually to the Cal Poly player who most exemplifies the virtues Kaufman became known for off the field. Linebacker Carlton Gillespie earned the award in 2008 and 2009 while safety Scottie Cordier was the recipient in 2010, linebacker Kennith Jackson in 2011, quarterback Doug Shumway in 2012, fullback Akaninyene Umoh in 2013 and defensive end Josh Letuligasenoa in 2014.

2014 season
86
2014: A Season of ‘Frustration’
Linebacker Nick Dzubnar notched a school-record 167 tackles in 2014 and finished his Mustang career with 414 stops.
Cal Poly’s football team finished No. 1 in the nation in rushing offense and fewest turnovers. The Mustangs, who rallied from a 1-3 start to win six of their last eight games and averaged nearly 34 points and 483 yards per contest offensively, defeated perennial Big Sky powers and NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff qualifiers Montana and Montana State at home and ended the 2014 campaign with a convincing 34-3 victory against Pioneer League champion San Diego, another team in the FCS playoffs. Sixth-year Cal Poly head coach Tim Walsh and his Mustangs were on the sideline, however, when the 24-team postseason began, primarily because of back-to-back losses to Idaho State and rival UC Davis which halted a five-game midseason winning streak. “Anytime you finish the season just 18 points away from being at least a co-champion, there’s some frustration,” said Walsh, who has guided the Mustangs to a 17-7 record in their first three seasons in the Big Sky. “Overall, however, considering where we were after the first two weeks of the season (0-2) and where we are now (7-5), we’re probably one of the best FCS teams in the country.” Cal Poly shattered its own school and Big Sky records for rushing yards (4,221) and rushing touchdowns (44) in a season, accumulated over 450 yards in total offense in each of its last 10 games of the season and produced its 11th winning record in the last 14 years. Junior quarterback Chris Brown rushed for 1,265 yards, the first Mustang quarterback to surpass the 1,000-yard mark for a single season, and 17 touchdowns (one shy of the school record). He also completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,465 yards and 12 scores. Brown finished first in the Big Sky in scoring, second in rushing and third in passing efficiency. He is the first Mustang in Division I history to rush, pass and receive a touchdown in a single game (Weber State). Brown also holds the Big Sky single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Old mark of 1,060 was set by Connor Kavanaugh of Portland State in 2011. For the second time in school history, Cal Poly had a pair of 1,000yard rushers. Sophomore slotback Kori Garcia finished with 1,039 yards, No. 5 in the Big Sky, and his 6.62 yards-per-carry average is
No. 1 in the Big Sky and fifth-best in the nation. Senior fullback Brandon Howe finished with 867 yards and 10 scores. “We scored nearly 35 points a game and the development of Brown, Garcia, Howe and even Jordan Hines and Roland Jackson at receiver made for some extremely exciting football on offense,” said Walsh. “Knowing all of them will be back except for Howe should

make things real exciting for the 2015 season.” The entire offensive line also returns next fall, anchored by center Stephen Sippel, guards Nick Enriquez, Billy Shipman and Joey Kuperman and tackles Miles Williams and Weston Walker. “One group that gets overlooked a lot are the offensive linemen,” Walsh said. “We used eight or nine different combinations this season and, for us to produce another Big Sky record and lead the nation in rushing offense, a lot of credit has got to go to the offensive linemen.” Defensive standouts include Buck Buchanan Award candidate
2014: A Season of ‘Frustration’
Nick Dzubnar and Cameron Ontko, who compiled 167 and 108 tackles, respectively, at linebacker and Chris Fletcher, Karlton Dennis and Jordan Wil-liams in the secondary. Dennis and Williams both intercepted three passes and Fletcher ac-cumulated 68 tackles and 10 pass breakups. While some of the numbers were up on defense this season -- 29 points and 414 yards per game allowed -- part of that can be attributed to changes in the game. “The game of football is ever changing with the no-huddle offenses,” said Walsh. “That puts much more pressure on defenses and creates the appearance that you’re not as good on defense as you may have been before. We held Montana to 21 points, Montana State to 27 points and even Idaho State to 30 points. They were averaging in the mid-40s and are three of the best offenses in the United States. “We also had several players on defense starting for the first time this year,” Walsh said, singling out tackle Marcus Paige-Allen, end Josh Letuligasenoa and cornerbacks Fletcher and Dennis. “Giving them all those opportunities this year will make them better.” But the defense also will lose several standouts, including Dzubnar, Ontko, Williams, safety Dave Douglas and linemen Chris Lawrence and Chris Judge. Dzubnar’s 167 tackles are the most in the Big Sky this season and second in the nation as he broke Kyle Shotwell’s single-season mark of 158 set in 2005. Dzubnar also finished with 414 career tackles, No. 2 on Cal Poly’s list.
Ontko produced 258 tackles in three seasons with the Mustangs after transferring from Wisconsin. “Dzubnar and Ontko are two of the premier linebackers in the league and they lived up to the expectations we had for them,” Walsh said. The recruiting season focused on finding depth in the secondary and at tackle on defense. “We need more depth and experience at both places and possibly will recruit some junior college transfers for those positions,” Walsh said in November. “Guys like PaigeAllen and Letuligasenoa had to play so many downs and sometimes had to play hurt because we didn’t have the depth we needed there. “And we definitely need some more experience at linebacker, even though we feel real good about Tu’uta Inoke, Joe Gigantino and Burton De Koning,” Walsh added. “We have some good young players in the wings and there are some positives we have to look forward to because of the experience of some of the returning guys, but we’ll definitely need some help in several areas on defense.” Cal Poly snapped San Diego’s eight-game winning streak with its season-ending 31point victory at Torero Stadium. Backup quarterback Dano Graves threw one touchdown pass and ran for two more scores in the second half, rushing for 94 yards, after replacing Chris Brown, who injured a leg after rushing for 93 yards and passing for 64 more yards, including one touchdown, in the opening 30 minutes of play.
87 Fullback Brandon Howe nearly gave Cal Poly three 1,000-yard rushers in 2014, finishing with 867 yards and 10 touchdowns on 183 carries. He never lost a yard on a carry, averaged 72 yards per game and also caught eight passes for 71 yards and one score.
Cal Poly scored on drives measuring 89, 82, 75, 87 and 90 yards and was a perfect 5for-5 on fourth-down plays. The Mustangs are the first team in the Big Sky to produce a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in a single season since 1983 when Nevada accomplished the feat. Cal Poly is the only FCS school to produce two 1,000-yard rushers this season. Cal Poly finished in a tie for fifth place with Northern Arizona in the Big Sky Conference standings, both with 5-3 marks. Eastern Washington finished first at 7-1 followed by Montana, Montana State and Idaho State, all tied for second at 6-2. The Mustangs opened the year with two games on the road, dropping a 28-10 decision at New Mexico State and 44-18 at South Dakota State. After a bye week, the Mustangs compiled 470 yards on the ground and scored the first 35 points of the game en route to a 42-14 non-conference victory over Big Sky rival Portland State in their home opener. Northern Arizona scored with 21 seconds left to hand Cal Poly a heartbreaking 38-35 loss in the Big Sky opener before the Mustangs bounced back with a 42-39 win at home over Southern Utah, igniting a fivegame winning streak. Cal Poly snapped a 24-24 tie with a oneyard dive by Howe with 13:46 to play and held on to beat Weber State 30-24 in Ogden, Utah, and the Mustangs earned their second road win at Sacramento State, 56-27, erasing a 17-7 second-quarter deficit by outscoring the Hornets 42-3 over a 27-minute span. Returning home, Cal Poly scored 27 unan-

swered points to erase a 14-7 deficit and beat Montana 41-21 as Brown rushed for 226 yards, a school record for a quarterback, and two touchdowns. The Mustangs earned their eighth straight win over Montana State with a 35-27 triumph the following week, Dennis sealing the win with his third interception of the year with 1:01 left. Facing a first-place showdown in the Big Sky for the third straight week, Cal Poly, ranked No. 21 in the nation, dropped a 30-28 decision at Idaho State in Pocatello despite Brown’s 195 yards on 39 carries and three touchdowns along with a scoring pass to Kyle Lewis. UC Davis never trailed and outscored Cal Poly 17-0 in the second quarter to take command en route to a 48-35 win in the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. The season-ending win at San Diego completed a three-year agreement between the two schools and Cal Poly won all three, lifting the Mustangs’ advantage in the all-time series to 4-0. Walsh is now 4-2 in regularseason finales at Cal Poly. Cal Poly averaged 8,945 in five home games last season, the third-highest average since Alex G. Spanos Stadium was renovated in 2007. With a 4-1 record at home in 2014, the Mustangs have won 53 of their last 66 home contests. Overall, the Mustangs have won 54 of their last 87 games (62 percent) and 87 of 138 contests (63 percent) going back to the 2002 finale and have won 15 of their last 30 and 34 of 68 on the road (3-4 in 2014). Cal Poly opens the 11-game 2015 season Sept. 5 at Montana, a non-conference game that will conclude a five-year agreement between the Mustangs and Grizzlies that was established before Cal Poly entered the Big Sky Conference in 2012.
MUSTANG NOTES MUSTANGS 10-11 IN SEASON OPENERS: Since beginning play in Division I FCS in 1994, Cal Poly has won 10 of 21 season openers, including eight of the last 12. A losing streak of five was snapped 10 years ago at Texas-El Paso, 34-13. The Mustangs beat Humboldt State 42-7 in the 2004 opener and 23-17 in 2010, Fort Lewis 44-0 in the 2006 opener, San Diego State 29-27 in the 2008 opener, Sacramento State 38-19 in the 2009 lidlifter and the University of San Diego 41-14 in the 2012 opener and 38-16 in 2013. New Mexico State beat the Mustangs 28-10 in the 2014 opener. Tim Walsh is 4-2 in season openers. Cal Poly is 16-5 in regular-season finales over the last 21 years -- Rich Ellerson was 7-1 -- snapping a three-year losing streak with a 41-10 win at South Alabama in 2011. Ellerson won five straight home openers prior to a 30-28 loss to Montana in 2008 and was 5-3 in eight seasons. Walsh is 4-2 in regular-season finales. HOME ATTENDANCE: Cal Poly, which averaged 8,760 fans for five home games in 2010 and 8,770 for five more home games in 2011, completed the 2012 regular season with an 8,566 average
For the second straight year, linebacker Cameron Ontko recorded 108 tackles, finishing with 258 tackles in three seasons at Cal Poly.
for five home dates. The Mustangs placed 37th among all Football Championship Subdivision schools in home attendance two straight years when they averaged 9,588 fans for five home games in 2009, just above the average of 9,574 fans for seven home games in 2008. Montana led in 2009 with an average of 24,417 while Appalachian State was the leader in 2008 with a average of 25,161 for eight home contests. Cal Poly, which drew 11,075, its fifth sellout since the expansion of Alex G. Spanos Stadium in 2007, for its 2011 home opener against South Dakota State, recorded sellout No. 6 against UC Davis on Sept. 22, 2012. In 2013, Cal Poly averaged 7,300 for six home dates and raised the average to 8,945 in 2014 (five games), the third-highest average since Alex G. Spanos Stadium was renovated in 2007.
TWO ALL-BIG SKY HONOREES RETURN: Cal Poly placed eight players on the 2014 All-Big Sky Conference first, second and third teams and four of the honorees return this fall -- second-team slotback Kori Garcia, second-team offensive guard Nick Enriquez, third-team quarterback Chris Brown and third-team defensive tackle Marcus PaigeAllen. Honorable mention wide receiver Jordan
Hines, offensive tackle Weston Walker, center Stephen Sippel, defensive end Josh Letuligasenoa and cornerbacks Chris Fletcher and Karlton Dennis also will return.
CROWDS FOR HOME OPENERS: Cal Poly drew a record crowd of 11,075 for its 2007 home opener against Weber State on Sept. 15 in newly renovated Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Prior to that game, the record crowd for a home opener was the 8,007 who showed up for Rich Ellerson's debut as Mustang head coach on Sept. 1, 2001 against Montana. The 2008 home opener against Montana drew 10,035. A total of 143,094 fans saw Cal Poly in 2005, exceeding the 2003 record total of 109,910. Cal Poly drew 48,222 fans for its five home games in 2007, averaging 9,644.4 fans per game and broke the mark for home attendance in 2008 with 67,018 fans for seven dates (9,574 average). The 2009 home opener against Sacramento State drew 10,381, ninth largest in stadium history, while the 2010 contest against Humboldt State drew 7,345. The 2011 home opener against South Dakota State attracted 11,075 fans, the fifth sellout in Alex G. Spanos Stadium history. The Mustangs drew 8,834 for the 2014 home opener against
2014: A Season of ‘Frustration’
Portland State. The two home openers prior to 2014, both against the University of San Diego on Labor Day weekend and two or three weeks prior to the start of Fall Quarter, drew 6,022 in 2012 and 5,840 in 2013.
PLAYOFFS BY THE DOTS: Frisco, Texas, was the host site for the NCAA Division I Football Championship game for the fifth straight year. Frisco emerged from a pool of several cities that submitted bids to serve as the host site for the championship game for three years, beginning with the 2010 season. Hosted by the Southland Conference, the 2014 championship game was played on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2015 and was won by North Dakota State for the fourth straight year. The championship game was held at Toyota Stadium. The field, expanded to 20 teams for three years, was expanded again to 24 teams starting with the 2013 season -- 11 automatic berths and 13 at-large selections. The Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference choose not to participate in the FCS playoffs. The Pioneer League received an automatic berth starting in 2013. Cal Poly qualified for the FCS playoffs in 2005, 2008 and 2012. Eastern Washington earned the 2010 title in the first game since the championship was moved from Chattanooga, Tenn.

Poly fell 35-32 in one OT at Idaho State on Sept. 7, 1996; 43-40 in four OTs at Weber State on Nov. 3, 2001; dropped a 36-35 single-overtime decision to Wisconsin of the Big Ten in 2008; and fell 21-14 in one overtime at Montana on Oct. 19, 2013.
BIG SKY VS. THE REST: Big Sky Conference members were 4-7 on the fourth weekend of the 2014 season and sported a 23-32 overall mark against non-conference teams, including the FCS playoffs. Big Sky teams were 23-27 against nonconference teams in 2013. Three years ago, Big Sky schools were 23-22 in non-conference games for the year. FAKE GRASS: Cal Poly lost 19 consecutive games on artificial turf before snapping the streak with a 34-13 triumph at UTEP on Sept. 6, 2003. Prior to the win at UTEP, Cal Poly’s last win on artificial turf was Sept. 22, 1990 at Portland State, 3623. The Mustangs have won 20 of their last 48 games on artificial turf. Last fall, Cal Poly lost 28-10 at New Mexico State on Aug. 28, 38-35 at Northern Arizona on Sept. 27 and 30-28 at Idaho State on Nov. 8 while defeating Weber State 30-24 on Oct. 11 and Sacramento State 56-27 on Oct. 18.
WORKING OVERTIME: Cal Poly has played in seven overtime games since the FCS rule was adopted in 1994. The Mustangs are 1-6, beating host New Mexico State in one OT, 38-35, in 1997. Both of Cal Poly’s losses at home -- 29-26 to Northern Iowa in 2002 and 53-51 to Eastern Washington in 2011 -- were in triple overtime. Cal
PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Cal Poly’s first Big Sky Conference player of the week for the 2014 season was quarterback Chris Brown following his 226-yard rushing performance in a 41-21 victory over Montana on Oct. 25. The junior averaged 10.8 yards per carry en route to the school record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game. Old record of 195 yards was set by Brown against UC Davis a year ago. Senior linebacker Nick Dzubnar was named Big Sky defensive player of the week Nov. 3 after notching 18 tackles against Montana State. He recorded 12 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup as the Mustangs upset No. 8/9 Montana State 35-27. The 18 stops are one shy of Dzubnar’s career high set twice ear-
Chris Nicholls played slot back and wide receiver, returned punts and kickoffs and even punted 10 times for the Mustangs last fall.
Led by men's basketball, men’s cross country, women’s tennis and women’s golf, nine of Cal Poly's 20 NCAA-affiliated intercollegiate athletics teams improved their multi-year rates during the 2013-14 academic year while men’s golf maintained its perfect score, according to Academic Progress Rate figures released by the NCAA in May. Men's basketball achieved a four-year multirate score of 976 for the four academic years from 2010-11 through 2013-14, a jump of 17 points, following its score of 990 for the 201314 school year. Men's cross country jumped 14 points to a 981 multi-year rate. The team posted a score of 986 for the 2013-14 school year. Women’s tennis jumped from 960 to 970 while women’s golf climbed eight points to 975. Both teams recorded perfect scores of 1,000 during the 2013-14 academic year. Two other Mustang teams earned 1,000 totals a year ago — men’s swimming and diving (a four-point jump from 964 to 968 in the multi-year APR) and men’s golf (no change in its multi-year APR as it remained at 1,000). “Cal Poly should be considered a leader in the national graduation rate,” said Mustang director of athletics Don Oberhelman. “These numbers indicate our commitment to success. “Our teacher-scholar model is so important to Cal Poly and that philosophy is thriving in
our athletic program,” Oberhelman added. “Our student-athletes continue to succeed both in the classroom and on the field.” The men’s golf team, which has achieved a 1,000 score for five consecutive years, earned a Public Recognition Award from the NCAA for exceptional academic achievement. The men’s swimming and diving team has achieved a 1,000 score for three straight years. In order to compete in the 2015-16 postseason, teams must achieve a 930 multi-year APR or a 940 average over the most recent two years. The multi-year rate of 930 predicts to a Graduation Success Rate of approximately 50 percent. In 2015-16 and beyond, teams must earn a four-year APR of 940 to compete in championships. No Cal Poly teams face any penalty from the NCAA for the 2015-16 academic year as the lowest multi-year rate for any of Cal Poly's 20 teams is 946. In addition to men’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s tennis and women’s golf, other Mustang teams posting increases in their multi-year rate were baseball (from 974 to 975), men’s swimming and diving (964 to 968), women’s indoor track and field (969 to 975), women’s outdoor track and field (969 to 975) and women’s volleyball (945 to 949). The Mustang men's golf team posted a
score in the top 10 percent of its sport based on its most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rate while men’s basketball, men’s tennis, women’s soccer and women’s swimming and diving earned scores in the top 30 percent of its sport or above. Teams posting double-digit jumps in single academic years from 2012-13 to 2013-14 are women’s tennis (93 points from 907 to 1,000), women’s golf (28 points from 972 to 1,000), men’s basketball (27 points from 963 to 990), men’s cross country (19 points from 967 to 986), women’s indoor track and field (19 points from 961 to 980), women’s outdoor track and field (19 points from 961 to 980) and baseball (10 points from 961 to 971). The nationwide four-year Division I APR is 978, a two-point improvement from last year. The average four-year rate rose five points in football (956), four points in men’s basketball (961) two points in women’s basketball (975) and two points in baseball (969). Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one point for staying in school and one point for being academically eligible. A team’s total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by 1,000 to equal the team’s Academic Progress Rate. In addition to a team’s current-year APR, its rolling four-year APR is also used to determine accountability.
TEAM CAPTAINS: Cal Poly’s 2014 football team captains were linebacker Nick Dzubnar, fullback Brandon Howe, defensive tackle Chris Lawrence and slotback Kenny Mitchell.

Game 3
LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Freshman Larry Rose scored two touchdowns and sophomore Tyler Rogers passed for a pair of scores as New Mexico State defeated Cal Poly 28-10 in a season-opening football game for both schools at Aggie Memorial Stadium. Rose, who rushed for over 2,900 yards and 49 touchdowns in high school a year ago, compiled 149 yards on 30 carries in his first college game. He caught a six-yard pass from Rogers for a touchdown in the third quarter and ran six yards for another score in the final period as the Aggies earned their first win ever against Cal Poly in four tries. Cal Poly trailed just 14-10 at halftime after a 24yard field goal by Stephen Pyle, but New Mexico State outscored the Mustangs 14-0 in the second half for the victory. Mustang starting quarterback Chris Brown rushed for 66 yards on 17 carries and completed one of four passes for two yards before he was relieved by Dano Graves midway through the final period. Graves connected on one of three passes for four yards. Cal Poly had the advantage in total offense and time of possession through the first three periods, but couldn't generate much offense in the second half as New Mexico State made defensive adjustments to counter the Mustangs' Triple Option. Cal Poly also turned the ball over twice and committed a costly holding penalty that wiped out a 40yard gain by Brown in the second quarter. Both Mustang turnovers resulted in New Mexico State touchdowns. Senior fullback Brandon Howe scored Cal Poly’s lone touchdown with a three-yard run in the first quarter, capping a 77-yard, 11-play drive. Pyle's 24yard field goal came 20 seconds before halftime.
BROOKINGS, S.D. – Backup quarterback Zach Lujan, making his first collegiate start, threw three touchdown passes and senior running back Zach Zenner recorded his 23rd career 100-yard game as No. 11/12 South Dakota State defeated Cal Poly 4418 in a non-conference game at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. Zenner rushed for 193 yards on 30 carries and scored once on a 15-yard run for South Dakota State. Mustang senior linebacker Nick Dzubnar made a career-high 19 tackles and junior quarterback Chris Brown passed for a career-high 202 yards, but South Dakota State compiled 502 yards in total offense for its first win over the Mustangs since 2007. Cal Poly still leads the series, 5-3. Cal Poly led only once at 12-10 after Brown ran seven yards for one touchdown and, with 4:29 left in the second period, Kori Garcia ran nine yards for the Mustangs' second score. Cal Poly also got the ball to start the third period, but was forced to punt after collecting a pair of first downs and South Dakota State began to pull away with an 81-yard drive capped by Jake Wieneke's 11yard touchdown pass from Lujan. Roland Jackson caught an 89-yard pass from Brown midway through the final period and Brown plunged one yard for Cal Poly's final touchdown. Brown rushed for 87 yards on 20 carries and completed 16 of 21 passes for 202 yards. His favorite target was fullback Brandon Howe with four catches for 29 yards. Garcia rushed for 86 yards on 17 carries.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Junior quarterback Chris Brown rushed for two touchdowns, passed for another and senior fullback Brandon Howe added two more scores as Cal Poly opened its five-game 2014 home football schedule with a 42-14 victory over Portland State in a non-conference matchup of Big Sky rivals. The Mustangs are 6-0 in home openers under head coach Tim Walsh. Walsh also is 4-0 against Portland State, where he coached for 14 seasons (1993-2006). Brown rushed for 159 yards, scoring on runs of 3 and 32 yards. He also broke off a 57-yard run to set up another Mustang touchdown. Howe and sophomore slotback Kori Garcia both established career highs in rushing yards as the Mustangs amassed 470 total rushing yards, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Howe added 81 yards on 14 trips and scored on a four-yard run as well as a four-yard pass from Brown. Garcia contributed 103 yards on 18 carries, including a touchdown run of five yards. Brown completed four of seven passes for 61 yards and the one score to Howe.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Northern Arizona quarterback Chase Cartwright hit running back Casey Jahn with a 12-yard touchdown pass with 21 seconds remaining Saturday night, lifting the Lumberjacks to a 38-35 victory over Cal Poly in the Big Sky Conference opener for both schools. Northern Arizona is 10-1 in its series against Cal Poly. The lead changed hands four times and the game was tied twice. Northern Arizona, which erased 7-0, 14-7, 28-17 and 35-31 Cal Poly leads, drove 71 yards in 10 plays for the winning points. Cal Poly compiled 25 first downs and 485 yards in total offense, converting on all four of its fourthdown plays, but Northern Arizona produced 514 total yards, including 320 passing yards from its backup quarterback. Mustang quarterback Chris Brown completed 10 of 17 passes for a career-high 214 yards and one touchdown – a five-yarder to Jordan Hines early in the second quarter. Brown also rushed for 91 yards on 26 carries, scoring twice on runs of 1 and 7 yards. Hines, who had caught 11 passes in his entire Mustang career, made five catches for 117 yards Saturday while Chris Nicholls and Roland Jackson each caught a pair of passes. Cal Poly's defensive leaders included senior linebacker Nick Dzubnar with 13 tackles, his fourth straight double-digit tackle performance this season.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Six Cal Poly players scored touchdowns as the Mustangs, who let a 21-0 lead slip away, rallied for a 42-39 Big Sky Conference football victory over Southern Utah. Brandon Howe, Brent Michaels, Chris Brown and Kori Garcia all scored on the ground while Jordan Hines and Austin Albison caught touchdown passes. Howe and Brown both went over the 100-yard mark for the second time this season. Howe, who now has a pair of 100-yard games in his career, rushed for a career-high 133 yards on 28 carries and scored on a one-yard run in the first quarter. Brown increased his total of career 100-yard games to five with 110 yards on 17 carries, scoring on a one-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter, giving Cal Poly the lead for good at 35-31. Brown, who completed his first eight pass attempts of the game, also connected with Albison on a 13-yard scoring pass and with Hines on a 24yarder, both in the first quarter, and completed 13 of 17 passes for 141 yards. The pair of touchdown passes and the run by Howe gave the Mustangs a 21-0 lead, but Southern Utah turned to its passing game after being held to just one rushing yard in the opening period and, by the 12-minute mark of the third quarter, had wiped out Cal Poly's advantage. Cal Poly regrouped and scored three of the game's next four touchdowns for the win. Both teams accumulated over 500 yards in total offense.
OGDEN, Utah – Junior quarterback Chris Brown and sophomore slotback Kori Garcia both threw touchdown passes to each other as Cal Poly defeated Weber State 30-24 in a Big Sky game.

Brown completed eight of 15 passes for 198 yards, including two long passes to Roland Jackson Jr., and rushed for 90 yards on 27 carries to spark Cal Poly offensively. Brown, who scored from one yard out in the second quarter, hit Garcia with an 11-yard touchdown pass just before halftime as Cal Poly took a 17-14 lead into the lockerroom at the break. Ten minutes into the third quarter, Brown pitched the ball to Garcia, who lofted a 23-yard scoring pass to Brown for a 24-17 Mustang lead. Weber State's Bo Bolen returned the ensuing kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, tying the game at 2424. With 13:46 to play in the game, senior fullback Brandon Howe capped an 80-yard drive with a oneyard dive, putting Cal Poly in front again, 30-24. The extra-point kick was missed.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Senior slotback Kenny Mitchell, junior wide receiver Roland Jackson Jr. and freshman fullback Joe Protheroe all scored their first career collegiate touchdowns as Cal Poly turned a 10-point second-quarter deficit into a 56-27 Big Sky Conference victory over Sacramento State at Hornet Stadium. Coach Tim Walsh's Mustangs outscored the Hornets 42-3 after trailing 17-7 with 9:39 to go in the second quarter, earning its third straight win after a 13 start. The Mustangs turned the game around completely in the third quarter, compiling a 230-26 advantage in total offense and 21-0 on the scoreboard. Protheroe broke off a 62-yard run, senior fullback Brandon Howe ran two yards and sophomore slotback Kori Garcia ran four yards for Mustang touchdowns. Cal Poly led 42-20 after three periods and Protheroe and junior quarterback Dano Graves added short touchdown runs in the final quarter to wrap up the victory. Garcia recorded his second 100-yard game of the season, rushing for 141 yards on just 13 carries. Protheroe added 72 yards, Lance Mudd 55 and Howe 48 as Cal Poly amassed 393 yards on the ground. Brown completed eight of 11 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Mitchell was his favorite target with three catches for 12 yards.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Junior quarterback Chris Brown shattered his own school record for rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game, rambling for 226 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Cal Poly upset No. 6/7 Montana 41-21 in a Big Sky game. Brown, who called his number just 21 times, averaging 10.8 yards per carry, scored on runs of 17 and 15 yards and also broke off a 30-yard run to set up another touchdown as the Mustangs earned their fourth straight win since a 1-3 start. Cal Poly handed the Grizzlies their worst Big Sky loss in 20 years and their worst loss to a Football Championship Subdivision team in 16 seasons. Boise State beat Montana 38-14 in a 1994 Big Sky game and Western Illinois handed the Grizzlies a 529 setback in the 1998 FCS playoffs. It also was Montana's worst loss in three years. The Grizzlies fell 42-16 to Tennessee in 2011. Cal Poly, which exceeded the 500-yard mark in total offense for the fifth time in its last six games, put together a 528-376 advantage in total offense against Montana, including 421 yards on 66 rushing plays. Montana passed for 298 of its total yards. In earning his sixth career 100-yard game on the ground, Brown recorded the 19th 200-yard game by a Mustang ball carrier in program history. His 226 yards is No. 13 on the all-time list for a single game. Last Mustang to rush for 200 or more yards in a game was Mark Rodgers in 2010 against South Dakota with a 235-yard performance.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Junior quarterback Chris Brown rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another as Cal Poly earned its fifth straight victory, upsetting No. 8/9 Montana State. With the victory, Coach Tim Walsh's Mustangs moved into a first-place tie with Eastern Washington in the Big Sky, both with 5-1 conference records. Montana State fell into a tie for third place at 4-1. For the second straight week and fourth time this season, Brown rushed for two scores and passed for another. He scored on one- and two-yard runs and finished with 97 yards on 29 carries against the Bobcats and also completed eight of 11 passes for 107 yards, including a 23-yard scoring strike to Kenny Mitchell in the third quarter. Montana State answered with a four-yard run by Anthony Knight midway through the third period, giving the Bobcats a 24-21 advantage. After the kickoff and a 47-yard run by Brent Michaels, Mustang senior fullback Brandon Howe bolted 24 yards for a touchdown and a 28-24 Cal Poly lead with 6:24 left in the third quarter. Luke Daly kicked a 41-yard field goal with 1:47 left in the third period to pull Montana State to within a point at 28-27, but the high-powered Bobcat offense was held off the scoreboard the rest of the way. Brown's two-yard run with 2:38 remaining in the game capped a 17-play, 79-yard drive, all plays on the ground and consuming eight minutes and two seconds, giving Cal Poly a 35-27 lead. Karlton Dennis’ interception with 1:01 to play sealed the Bobcats’ fate.

POCATELLO, Idaho -- Senior quarterback Justin Arias passed for 292 yards and three touchdowns to lead Idaho State to a 30-28 victory over No. 21/23 Cal Poly in a Big Sky Conference football game Saturday afternoon in Holt Arena. The win was Idaho State's first in its last 25 games against a ranked Football Championship Subdivision team. Arias completed 22 of 40 passes for Idaho State, which led all the way after scoring 14 points in the first eight minutes of the game. The Bengals were 14-76 in the last eight seasons and had not won more than three games in a season since 2005. Jordan Williams and Cameron Ontko both intercepted passes in the second half, but Cal Poly could not capitalize on either theft. Ontko has two interceptions in his Mustang career and Williams eight. Cal Poly twice trimmed the deficit to two points in the second half, but Idaho State was able to hold on for the win. Cal Poly, which ran off 99 plays in the game, finished with over 480 yards for the eighth straight contest, rushing for 425 yards and passing for 101. Brown finished with 195 yards on a career-high 39 rushes, scoring three touchdowns and recording his seventh career 100-yard game. With 1,148 yards in 10 games, Brown is the 17th Mustang in the 96-year history of the program -- and the first quarterback -to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. He also has broken the Big Sky single-season rushing mark for a quarterback. Old mark of 1,060 yards was set by Connor Kavanagh of Portland State in 2011.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Senior running back Gabe Manzanares rushed for a career-high 230 yards and three touchdowns while sophomore quarterback Ben Scott passed for 298 yards and three more scores as UC Davis upset Cal Poly 48-35 in the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe. The loss on Senior Night was Cal Poly's first in five home games. Manzanares, who carried the ball 37 times, scored on runs of 11, 2 and 12 yards while Scott completed 24 of 32 passes, including scoring strikes of 11 yards to Mark Martindale, five yards to Ramon Vargas and two yards to Zach Boman. The Aggies amassed 564 yards in total offense, averaging 7.2 yards per play. Cal Poly managed 457 total yards, including 298 on the ground and 159 more through the air as junior quarterback Chris Brown completed 13 of 19 passes, one for a touchdown spanning 33 yards to Jordan Hines. The game was tied at 7-7 and 14-14 before UC Davis assumed command with 17 unanswered points in the second quarter for a 31-14 lead at intermission. Cal Poly closed the gap to 10 points early in the third quarter on a one-yard run by Brown and twice to 13 points in the final period, but could get no closer. Mustang sophomore slotback Kori Garcia earned his fifth 100-yard game of the season, gaining 151 yards on 20 carries and scoring once on a three-yard run in the first quarter. Senior fullback Brandon Howe added 89 yards on nine carries.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Backup quarterback Dano Graves threw one touchdown pass and ran for two more scores as Cal Poly wrapped up the 2014 season with a win over playoff-bound San Diego. Replacing Chris Brown at the start of the second half, Graves ran five and 21 yards for touchdowns and hit Chris Nicholls with a 49-yard scoring pass for Coach Tim Walsh's Mustangs, who finished the season with a 7-5 record. San Diego, the Pioneer League champion, will enter the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoffs next weekend with a 9-2 record. Saturday's game marks the end of a three-year agreement between the two schools and Cal Poly won all three games, two in San Luis Obispo. Cal Poly, which surpassed the 450-yard mark in total offense for the 10th consecutive game, scored on drives measuring 89, 82, 75, 87 and 90 yards. The Mustangs led 14-3 at halftime on a two-yard run by senior fullback Brandon Howe and a 13-yard pass from Brown to Jordan Hines. Brown did not play the second half due to a leg injury. San Diego's only points of the game came on a 32yard field goal by David Last late in the first quarter. Last is 12-for-12 in field goals this season. With 341 rushing yards, Cal Poly finished the year with 4,221 yards, breaking the school and Big Sky Conference records the Mustangs set in 2012 with 3,890 yards. Cal Poly's 44 rushing touchdowns also are school and conference records. Mustang senior linebacker Nick Dzubnar recorded seven tackles, giving him a school-record 167 for the season. He also contributed his fifth career interception as well as a forced fumble and pass breakup.

Cal Poly Football History -- 96 Years of Gridiron Tradition
al Poly football will play its 97th season this fall. Ever since that first 1915 team took the field, Cal Poly football has played with pride and tradition. From the stars of yesterday like Perry Jeter, Alex Bravo, Stan Sheriff, Bobby Beathard, Ted Tollner, John Madden, Mel Kaufman and Louis Jackson, to the stars of recent years like Chris Thomas, Kamil Loud, Seth Burford, Steve Prejean, Adam Herzing, David Richardson, Darrell Jones, Jordan Beck, Chris Gocong, Courtney Brown, Kyle Shotwell, Ramses Barden, Asa Jackson and Deonte Williams, Cal Poly has earned its place in college football history. An undefeated and unscored-upon team in 1933, a perfect record in 1953, playoff trips in 1978 and The 1941 team was Cal Poly’s first as a four-year school and posted a 5-3-1 record. 1990, a national title in 1980 and the school’s first three trips to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in 2005, 2008 national ranking in 1997, reaching as high as 16th following a win over and 2012 are just some of the many memories that have made Cal Poly foot- Northern Iowa at home as the team went 10-1 that year.

The success didn’t stop there as the Mustangs earned their first second-round FCS playoff berth and a 9-3 record in 2012.
1915 Through the 1940s
Above, Ted Tollner (center) hands off to Carl Bowser (left) and Ray Porras. Tollner was head coach at USC and San Diego State while Bowser was a long-time coach at Bakersfield College. Porras died in the 1960 plane crash. At right, Alex Bravo turns the corner for yardage. At left, Bob Lawson was an All-CCAA fullback in 1952 and 1953.
Cal Poly played mostly high school and college freshman teams in the first 16 seasons. Then head coach Howie O’Daniels established a little history in his first year at the helm in 1933. His Mustangs enjoyed an undefeated season and did not allow a single point, something only 30 teams in the history of college football have accomplished. The Mustangs continued their defense in 1934, not giving up a single point until
the fifth game of the season. Cal Poly officially became a four-year school during the 1941 season and posted a 5-3-1 record under Coach O’Daniels. A 32-13 win over over San Diego State in ‘41 followed by a 51-0 win over San Francisco State highlighted the season. The Mutangs did not play football in 1943 and 1944 due to World War II. Ronnie Henderson coached Cal Poly to a 1-5-1 mark in 1945 before
Coach O’Daniels returned to the helm in 1946 and guided the Mustangs to a 6-2-1 mark. Quarterback “Pinky” Bebernes of Santa Maria, along with teammates Marshall Samuels, Dave Cool, Joe Griffin and Al Weimers helped lead the Mustangs to a 21-13 upset win over San Diego State in 1946. Bruisers Jim Yates and Bud MacDougal provided the offensive punch much of that year.

Coach Roy Hughes replaced Chuck Pavelko in 1950 and vowed, “In three years, we’ll be tough.” In 1953 he lived up to his promises with an undefeated season. The Mustangs were led by All-American Stan Sheriff along with Don Adams, Vic Buccola and quarterback Bob Neal while backs Perry Jeter and Alex Bravo led the nation in scoring. Some consider the 1958 team the best Mustang squad ever. Led by quarterbacks Bobby Bobby Beathard and Tom Beathard Klosterman, they were as tough as they come. Defensive linemen John Madden and Pat Lovell helped lead the team to 53 forced fumbles while allowing just eight touchdowns
all year and only 175.8 yards per game. Beathard’s astute knowledge and leadership abilities later helped him as a scout in the NFL and as part of the front office for seven Super Bowl teams, including four winning squads. He retired as General Manager of the San Diego Chargers and more recently served as an advisor for the Atlanta Falcons. Madden, a bruising tackle, went on to coach the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl triumph. After four seasons as color analyst for Monday Night Football on ABC, Madden moved over to NBC for its Sunday Night Football telecasts. Madden, who retired in 2009 has been honored with 14 Emmys for his work with all four major networks. He also was a catcher on the Cal Poly baseball team in the late 1950s. In the decade of the 1950s, Cal Poly compiled a 67-29-1 record. All 10 teams were coached by Hughes and the Mustangs beat such teams as San Diego State, Fresno State and Colorado State.

Fred Whittingham (66) and Gil Stork (51) were members of Cal Poly’s 1960 football team. Stork survived the crash; Whittingham was not on the plane.
Perry Jeter scampers for yardage during the undefeated 1953 season.
Tragedy struck the 1960 Cal Poly football team following a game at Bowling Green State University on Saturday, October 29, 1960. Immediately following takeoff at Toledo Airport, the plane carrying the team crashed and killed 22 people, including 16 Mustang football players, the team manager and a booster. On May 1, 1998, the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, IN, dedicated new bronze plaques honoring the Cal Poly men killed in the plane crash along with the victims of plane crashes involving football teams from Wichita State (1970) and Marshall University (1978). Dr. Everett Chandler, Dean of Students at Cal Poly at the time of the crash, helped unveil and dedicate the plaques. Mounted at the Hall of Fame, the plaques immortalize these individuals’ belief in the sport of football and how it symbolizes American society. The names of the deceased are listed for each univerTed Tollner sity on separate plaques. In 2001, Cal Poly announced plans to change the name of Mustang Stadium to Mustang Memorial Field at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. The Memorial Plaza project was completed in 2006 and formally dedicated on Sept. 29, 2006 (see inside back cover). After Cal Poly won just 22 of 67 games in seven seasons following the plane crash, Joe Harper was hired as the Mustangs’ head coach in 1968 and produced 7-3 and 6-4 marks in his first two seasons.

October 29, 1960 -- Cal Poly Plane Crash
"On Thanksgiving morning this year in the Coliseum, a 'Mercy Bowl' benefit game
will be played to help San Luis Obispo write off its obligations to the tragedy victims, the children they left behind them, and the survivors. My feeling is, it is not only their obligation. It is the obligation of all of us interested in athletics. I can think of no better way to give thanks on that day that we are here and healthy, than to contribute to those who are alone with only memories of that day."
— Jim Murray Los Angeles Times, 1961

The following is written on a memorial plaque on one of the peristyles at the Los Angeles Coliseum:
On Saturday night, October 29, 1960, a plane carrying the Cal Poly 1960 football team, which was returning from a football game with Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH, crashed at the Toledo, Ohio Airport. As a result of this crash, 16 players and the team manager were killed and many injured. To financially assist the families of these athletes, a football game of mercy between Bowling Green and Fresno State was sponsored and staged in the Coliseum on Thanksgiving, November 23, 1961. All proceeds were donated to the Cal Poly Memorial Fund for this purpose.
ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS: Prior to each home game, Cal Poly football players pay tribute to the 1960 football team at the memorial rock near the flagpole at the north end of Alex G. Spanos Stadium. For each road trip, the team loads up the buses near Mott Gym, drives to Alex G. Spanos Stadium and walks to the rock for reflection prior to departing campus.
A Mustang defense that included Tom Duggan, Greg Lee, Chris Smeland, Dave Quirk, Wayne Robinson and Tom Chantler led Cal Poly to an 8-0-1 record in 1972 and a trip to the Camellia Bowl for the NCAA Division II Championship of the Western United States at Hughes Stadium in Sacramento. After Mike Foley was injured Oct. 7 against Boise State, fullback Mike Thomas carried the load for the remainder of the season from out of the backfield. The Mustangs were ranked No. 3 in Division II by both the Associated Press and the UPI polls during the year. Cal Poly was also ranked No. 3 in total offense with 448 yards per game and No. 3 in scoring with 37.2 points per game. Running back Gary Davis began a stellar three-year Mustang career by assisting the 1973 squad to a 9-1 record. Davis went on to break most Cal Poly rushing records, finishing with 2,368 career yards. The 1976 Mustangs, with Joe Harper at the helm, finished 7-1-1, including a thrilling 17-15 win at Fresno State. The “Excitement Twins,” tailback Louis Jackson and receiver Robbie Martin, helped lead the 1978 squad to a 73 record and an NCAA Division II playoff berth. The two scored half of Cal Poly’s 38 touchdowns that year. Individually, Jackson led Division II in rushing the entire season and finished with 126.3 yards per game (including 267 vs. Portland State), while Martin had 23.1 receiving yards a game. The Mustangs suffered a 17-0 playoff loss to WinstonSalem State (NC) but would get their revenge two years later in the most memorable season in the history of Cal Poly football (see next page). Each of the 10 Mustang football teams in the 1970s posted a winning record, part of a string of 13 consecutive winning seasons under Harper. The streak ended in Harper’s last season, 1981, when Cal Poly went 4-5. Harper went on to coach at Northern Arizona and Cal Lutheran. Among Harper’s 96 wins were seven against Fresno State, three each against Boise State and Nevada and one against UNLV.

Mustangs Capture National Championship
No success was sweeter for the Mustangs than the 1980 season. Quarterback Craig Johnston and senior All-Americans Louis Jackson and Robbie Martin led the Mustangs to the NCAA Division II National Championship with a win over defending champion Eastern Illinois, 21-13, in the Zia Bowl at Albuquerque, NM. Martin scored all three touchdowns in the title game, including a diving 33-yard grab with 14:02 left. He also had a 42-yard punt return for the first Mustang TD. He finished the day with 164 yards to give the school its first NCAA title in footNCAA Division II ball.

Cal Poly played its first two playoff games at home that season, defeating Jacksonville State 15-0 and 38-14 over the Broncos before a standing-room-only crowd at Mustang Stadium and a regional telecast. Following the championship win over Eastern Illinois, Joe Harper was named Division II Coach of the Year. Cal Poly defeated eventual Division I-AA national champion Boise State 23-20 at home that year. Cal Poly managed only a 4-5 mark in 1981, Harper’s only losing campaign and his last as head coach of the Mustangs. Harper, whose 96 wins are the most by any Cal Poly football coach, went on to coach at Northern Arizona for three seasons and at Cal Lutheran for six years. Jim Sanderson coached the Mustangs to 6-5 and 6-4 seasons in five years at the helm before Lyle Setencich came on board in 1987. Cal Poly went 7-3, 5-4-1 and 5-5 in the first three seasons under Setencich before returning to the playoffs in 1990.

It was a winning combination -- 5-7-9 -- that carried Cal Poly to the 1980 NCAA Division II National Championship in Albuquerque, NM. Quarterback Craig Johnston wore No. 7, running back Louis Jackson wore No. 9 and wide receiver Robbie Martin wore No. 5.

Alli Abrew passed for 4,009 yards in two seasons (199697) with the Mustangs.
Mike Fisher is Cal Poly’s all-time career passing leader with 7,494 yards.
The winning continued in the 1990s. Coach Lyle Setencich led the Mustangs to their first postseason appearance since 1980 with a 10-1 record during the 1990 regular season before a loss to North Dakota State in the first round. Standout wide receiver Chris Thomas, who played with the Washington Redskins, St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in the NFL, helped lead the team to a 14-7 win over Cal State Northridge before another packed Mustang Stadium to propel the Mustangs into the Division II playoffs. In 1994, coach Andre Patterson came to Cal Poly from Washington State, where he was an assistant defensive coach, and led the Mustangs to instant success in the school’s first season competing at the Division I-AA level. The move proved to be the right thing to do as Cal Poly went 7-4 and captured the American West Conference title with an undefeated conference record, posting wins over Southern Utah, Cal State Northridge and Sacramento State. Quarterback Mike Fisher smashed eight school Cal Poly’s football training camp was held at Camp records and five conference marks with 2,536 yards Roberts in 1999 and 2000. Members of the 1999 passing. Fisher went on to become Cal Poly’s all-time squad pose on a tank during a hot August afternoon. passer by the time he finished in 1995. His strong supporting cast in 1994 included two explosive freshmen, running back Antonio Warren and wide receiver Kamil Loud. The Mustangs were ranked fifth nationally against the rush in their maiden season in Division I-AA. In 1997, the Larry Welsh era kicked off with a bang as the Mustangs went 10-1 and just missed making the I-AA playoffs despite a No.17 national ranking. Warren and Craig Young each rushed for more than 1,000 yards during the season and quarterback Alli Abrew finished the season as the No. 1-rated passer in all of Division I-AA. After a 7-0 start to the season, with wins over No. 16 Northern Iowa and I-A New Mexico State, the Mustangs fell for the first time on the road at Liberty. But a last-second win over Montana State and a 20-point whipping of previously undefeated Dayton at home capped a memorable season. While the team may have struggled the following three seasons, posting back-to-back-to-back 3-8 records, the Mustangs certainly entertained and continued to rewrite the record book. November 4, 2000 will be long remembered in the NCAA record book as one of the greatest offensive performances in recent memory. Quarterback Seth Burford and receiver Kassim Osgood hooked up for a record-setting afternoon against Northern Iowa at Mustang Stadium as Burford finished with a school-record 566 yards passing on the day while Osgood set a new national record with 376 yards receiving to go with his two touchdowns. He caught a school-record 17 passes in the game and was named I-AA Offensive Player of the Week by Sports Network while Burford was honored as the I-AA Player of the Week by ESPN. Osgood was named an Associated Press All-American and, after seven seasons with San Diego, two at Jacksonville and one at Detroit, he is now a San Francisco 49er.

Trio of Mustangs in the NFL
When the National Football League opened training camps in July, Cal Poly had three former players on team rosters. Linebackers Nick Dzubnar and Cameron Ontko, both members of the 2014 Mustangs, were afforded professional opportunities this summer -- Dzubnar as an undrafted free agent with the San Diego Chargers and Ontko with an invitation to the rookie mini-camp of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cornerback Asa Jackson was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in April 2012 and played in three games as a rookie, notching one tackle. He was suspended for four games late in the season due to a violation of the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing substances and missed the first half of the 2013 season for the same violation. Jackson played in the final eight games, but did not record any
tackles. In 2014 he played in six games (five starts) and made 28 tackles (22 solo) and three pass breakups, missing seven games with a toe injury. Wide receiver Ramses Barden played four seasons (2009-12) with the New York Giants after bring drafted in the third round while defensive end Chris Gocong, drafted in the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles seven years ago, was released by the Cleveland Browns in 2013 after suffering an Achilles’ injury in the preseason. Deonte Williams signed a free agent contract with the Raiders immediately after the 2013 NFL Draft but was cut prior to the 2013 season. Cornerback Courtney Brown was on the roster of the New York Giants in the summer of 2011 but never played, while linebacker Mark Restelli was released by the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 3, 2011, despite a strong preseason. Wide receiver
Darrell Jones (2001-04)
Kyle Shotwell (2003-06)
Aaron Williams (2002-05)
Dominique Johnson was cut by the Minnesota Vikings during the 2011 preseason as well while offensive lineman Scott Winnewisser signed a free agent contract with the New Orleans Saints on May 29, 2012 but was released. Quarterback Andre Broadous played for the Indoor Football League’s TriCities Fever in 2014. He led the Fever to a come-from-behind win over the Colorado Ice by completing nine of 16 passes for 85 yards and one touchdown and also rushing for 24 yards on seven carries, all in the second half. Linebackers Jordan Beck (Denver Broncos) and Kyle Shotwell were released in 2008 and Brown was let go by the Dallas Cowboys in 2009 and signed with the Giants in early 2010. Gocong, Beck and Shotwell were Buck Buchanan Award winners at Cal Poly.

Cal Poly Football History -- Head Coaches
153 D.W. Schlosser 1915-17
Herman Hess 1919-20
This photo from 1905 shows football being played at Cal Poly in front of the school’s dormitory, eventually named Deuel Hall. Football also was played from 1906 to 1914, but most were intramural games as the Mustang teams were not allowed to play “outside” competition at that time other than San Luis Obispo High School. Though the Cal Poly record books show Cal Poly as playing its first football game in 1915, the Polytechnic Journal reported that club teams were formed from 1905 to 1914. D.W. Schlosser became the first paid coach for the 1915 season, signalling the official start of intercollegiate football at Cal Poly. The Mustangs’ rich football history is highlighted by the undefeated, unscored-upon 1933 team of Howie O’Daniels, the muchheralded undefeated, untied 1953 team coached by Roy Hughes, the first team to earn an NCAA playoff berth (1972, coached by Joe Harper), the 1980 NCAA Division II national championship team, also coached by Harper, and the 1990 NCAA Division II semifinal team coached by Lyle Setencich. Cal Poly moved to Division I in 1994 and three Mustang teams -- 2005, 2008 (both coached by Rich Ellerson) and 2012 (coached by Tim Walsh) -- have qualified for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.

Osbaldo Orozco: Destined for the Battlefield
sbaldo Orozco wanted to be a soldier long before he came to Cal Poly. After watching “Rambo” as kids, he and his brothers would use broomsticks and knives to attack a make-believe enemy soldier — a cactus in their back yard. Indeed, some would say Orozco was destined for the battlefield, where he died April 26, 2003, on the front lines of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cal Poly officials held a public memorial May 22, 2003, at the campus’ War Memorial Plaza to honor the 26-year-old alumnus and U.S. Army First Lieutenant. “Baldo,” as his friends called him, died when the Bradley fighting vehicle he was riding in rolled over while rushing to help other American soldiers under attack near Tikrit in northern Iraq. At the memorial service, a few hundred people — including family, veterans, students and past teammates — remembered the former school football star who was commissioned as an Army officer on June 16, 2001, the same day he earned his bachelor’s degree in social science. As the late-afternoon sun reflected off the bronze Mustang Statue, school officials added a 64th name to the plaque below that honors Cal Poly students who died on the battlefield.
Osbaldo Orozco wore paint on his face as a Cal Poly football pregame ritual.

Mustang Memorial Plaza Friends and family of E. Gary Van Horn attended dedication ceremony for Mustang Memorial Plaza.
M
ustang Memorial Plaza at Alex G. Spanos Stadium was formally dedicated September 29, 2006, with over 400 people in attendance, including survivors, friends and family members of those who lost their lives. Cal Poly’s 1960 football team was honorably inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame later that evening at Chumash Auditorium. Richard Equinoa, retired director of career services at Cal Poly, read the names of the 53 members of the team who were inducted. As many as 46 of the inductees were represented at the induction dinner. Gil Stork, a survivor of the Oct. 29, 1960, plane crash at Toledo, Ohio, that took the lives of 18 team members, served as Master of Ceremonies. Representing the 1960 football team at the podium were survivors Carl Bowser and Ted Tollner. The unity and depth of brotherhood shared by the 1960 players made the group an ideal selection for Cal Poly’s unprecedented selection of an entire team for Hall of Fame honors, according to Alison Cone, Cal Poly’s director of athletics at the time. Eighteen of the original 25 survivors of the tragic plane crash were still alive at the time, and most were present for the remembrance ceremonies, as well as a number of family members. “This dedication is one of the most significant moments in Cal Poly’s

history, as well as for me personally,” said then-Cal Poly President Warren J. Baker. “The new Mustang Memorial Plaza is Cal Poly’s tribute to the 1960 team. With this plaza, we will preserve forever the memory of the 18 who perished in the tragic crash, so that their hopes and dreams live on.” A flock of doves was released during the dedication ceremony and PolyPhonics performed two songs. President Baker presided over the unveiling of the granite plaques placed on 18 copper pillars representing each of the 18 team members -- 16 players, a Mustang booster and the team manager -- who lost their lives in the crash. The 15,000-square-foot Mustang Memorial Plaza is rich in symbolism. It is anchored by a striking bronze sculpture of a mustang created by Roy Harris -- aptly titled “Unbridled Spirit” -- which stands at the center of a ‘team huddle’ created by a circle of 18 pillars faced in copper, a metal that grows more beautiful with time. Each of the 18 pillars stands at the same height as that of its honoree. Soft beams of light glow from the tops of the pillars, permanent beacons that serve to guide those who wish to honor the memory of the team. Each pillar displays a granite plaque engraved with the 1961 yearbook photo of the honored individual, statistics for that player, and personal information. As one family member wrote in tribute to its lost loved one, “Always loved. Never forgotten.”
Survivors of the 1960 Cal Poly plane crash include Ted Tollner (left), who spoke at the Hall of Fame dinner; Al Marinai (center), who helped initiate the plaza project; and Gil Stork (right), Master of Ceremonies for both the plaza dedication and Hall of Fame dinner.
