2009 Butler Football

Returning Cast Fuels Butler Optimism Butler posted its highest victory total and its fi rst winning record in more than a decade last season. With a majority of starters returning from that breakthrough squad, the Bulldogs are looking for another step forward in 2009.

Head coach Jeff Voris has 36 lettermen, including 14 starters (seven on offense, seven on defense) back this season. Included in that group is a record-setting passing tandem, the league’s leader in quarterback sacks and a former league scoring champ. Voris can call on his top two tacklers from a year ago, four of his top fi ve rushers and three of his top four receivers. And the Bulldogs boast seven All-PFL performers. “We’re really experienced on both sides of the ball,” noted Butler’s head coach. “We lost some key players, but we’ve had so many guys play and see action in key situations that we really can put experienced players at almost every position.” The Bulldogs compiled a 6-5 record and tied for fourth place in the Pioneer Football League in 2008. The six wins tied the second-highest total at Butler since 1993, when the Bulldogs moved from the NCAA Division II to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). And the winning mark was Butler’s fi rst since 1997, when the Bulldogs fi nished with a 6-4 record.

Among the returnees from last year’s successful squad are quarterback Matt Kobli and wide receiver Dan Bohrer. Kobli set a school-record with 23 touchdown passes and a record 11 of them wound up in the hands of Bohrer. The two hooked up for nearly a thousand yards in offense. Also back are defensive end Grant Hunter, who topped the PFL in quarterback sacks with 14 a year ago, linebacker Derek Guggenberger, who’s led the Bulldogs in tackles for two straight seasons, and running back Scott Gray, who missed much of last season with injury but led the PFL in scoring two years ago.

Offense It’s not a secret, the Bulldogs will throw the ball. Kobli and Bohrer are bidding to become the most prolifi c passing duo in Butler history, and there’s depth both at quarterback and in the receiving corps.

Kobli turned in a banner campaign in his fi rst full season as a Butler starter. The 6-3, 220-pound signal caller led the PFL in total offense (273.3 ypg) and ranked third in the league in passing effi ciency. He passed for 2,518 yards, while completing better than 66% of his passes. He also fi nished as Butler’s second-leading rusher with 493 yards. Kobli was named Butler’s Offensive MVP, and he earned honorable mention all-league honors.

Bohrer, one of two senior captains for the Bulldogs, became just the second player in Butler history to record more than 70 receptions in a season and just the third Bulldog with more than 900 receiving yards. His 71 catches and his 971 receiving yards were the second-most in the PFL in 2009. His performance earned him second team All-PFL recognition.

“Matt is a special talent, and he can impact a game in a variety of ways,” noted Voris of his junior quarterback. “And Danny is our leader on offense. We won’t shy away from getting him the ball.”

Bohrer won’t be the only target for Butler’s quarterbacks this fall. Five other returnees had at least 10 catches last year and four of them had more than 100 receiving yards. Junior Eddie McHale fi nished as the team’s third-leading receiver with 30 catches for 366 yards and six touchdowns, while sophomore Zach Watkins added 28 catches for 329 yards. Other top returning pass catchers are sophomores Stuart Harveyand Jordan Koopman.

A pair of second-year players, sophomore Andrew Huck and redshirt freshman Calvin Blair, are the top returning back-ups at quarterback. Huck saw action in six games

last season. The Bulldogs lost last

year’s top rusher, Dionte Wiggins, but running back may have been the team’s deepest position. Gray led the team in rushing two years ago, when he scored a league-leading 15 touchdowns. He’s the top returning tailback this season, but he’ll be pushed by redshirt sophomore Ryan Hitchcock and senior Ricky Trujillo. Hitchcock rushed for 342 yards and fi ve touchdowns last fall, while Trujillo added a pair of rushing TDs. “We have several players who are solid PFL backs, and with the depth has come competition. We may play more than one back at the same time,” said Voris, who pointed out that the Bulldogs have regained an offensive balance since going to the spread offense last year. All of Butler’s skill players will be operating behind a veteran offensive line. Four of the fi ve starters from last year’s offensive line are back this season, led by All-PFL guard Donny Gilmore, a starter in 22 consecutive games. Also back from last year’s front fi ve are senior tackle Brian Crable, junior tackle Mike Staniewiczand sophomore guard Pete Mattingly. Crable has started 21 straight games, while Staniewicz has started 21 of the last 22 Butler games. Junior center Ryan Secrist, who started Butler’s fi rst

fi ve games last year, also returns. Redshirt freshman Carter Walley and former fullback William Bork are the top tight end prospects.

DefenseHunter, Guggenberger and senior safety

Spencer Summerville anchor a defensive group that has improved steadily over the past three seasons. “We’ve grown as a unit defensively,” said Voris. “We lost some guys up front from last year’s team, but we played so many guys that we still have experience there and we’re still strong across the board.”

Hunter emerged as a force in his fi rst season with the Bulldogs. His 14 sacks tiedthe second-highest total ever by a Butler player, trailing only the school-record 17 by Scott Cook in 1983. And he fi nished second in the PFL in total tackles for loss with 18. Guggenberger, Butler’s middle linebacker, tied for sixth in the league in tackles with 85, and he enters his fi nal season with 153 career stops. Summerville, one of two team captains this season, fi nished second on the squad and 15th in the PFL in tackles with 66. All three players earned All-PFL recognition last season. Hunter will be fl anked on the defensive line by several experienced returnees. Senior Pete Xander and sophomore Pete Xander and sophomore Pete Xander Ross Teareshared the nose guard position last year and

Quarterback Matt Kobli became just the second quarter-back in Butler history to pass for over 2,500 yards.

will likely do the same this season. Both saw action in all 11 games. The same situation exists at the other defensive end spot, where juniors Rob Cosler and Rob Cosler and Rob Cosler Jeff Poss each saw action in all 11 games. The defensive tackle spot will be manned by senior Tyler Skaggsand sophomore Larry Thomas. Junior Derek Bradford played in all 11 games and fi nished fi fth on the team in tackles last season, and he’s part of a solid group of returnees at linebacker. Also back are senior Brian Adika, junior Nick Comottoand redshirt sophomore Nick Caldicott, all of whom saw action last season. And they’re joined by Andrew Cottrell, a skilled transfer

from Grand Valley State who Voris says “plays the game the right way.” The defensive secondary features a pair of returning starters at cornerback, juniors Tadd Dombart and Jacob Fritz. Dombart tied for sixth on the team in tackles (42) and shared the team lead in pass interceptions with two. Fritz was eighth in tackles (40). A pair of redshirt sophomores, Mark Giacomantonio and Logan Sullivan, will contend for the free safety position. Both played in all 11 games a year ago. Voris also can call on sophomores Jack McKenna, Andy Dauch and Thorn Murphy, each of whom saw action in the defensive secondary last season.

Special TeamsThe Bulldogs have a couple of gaping

holes to fi ll on special teams. Gone from last year’s squad are placekicker and second-leading scorer Jordan Quiroz and punter Rob Blevins. Redshirt freshman Michael Wilsoncame out of spring drills as the team’s top punter, while sophomore David Langemerged as the top candidate at placekicker. Lang handled team kickoff duties a year ago. Dombart, who led the PFL in punt return average (16.9) last season, heads up the punt return unit, while Koopman and Summerville were the squad’s top kick returners in 2009. Newcomers could play a key role on Butler’s special teams.

Wide receiver Dan Bohrer finished second in the PFL in both receptions and receiving yards in 2008.

Linebacker Derek Guggenberger has led the Bulldogs in tackles for two consecutive seasons.

Defensive backs Spencer Summerville (5) and Tadd Dombart (28) both earned All-PFL honors last fall.

In just three seasons, Jeff Voris has taken Butler from an 0-11 record to the program’s fi rst winning campaign in more than a decade! Voris, who improved Butler’s win total in each of his fi rst three seasons, delivered the winning mark last fall by leading the Bulldogs to a 6-5 record and a tie for fourth place in the Pioneer Football League. The six wins were Butler’s most since 1997 and the second-most since the Bulldogs moved to Division I in 1993. Butler’s four league wins 1993. Butler’s four league wins 1993. Butler’s ftied the Bulldogs’ highest PFL win total ever! The successful campaign came just one year after Voris guided Butler to a 4-7 mark in just his second season

at the helm. The four victories were the most by a Butler football team since 2002 and marked another step forward for the program. In 2006, his fi rst season as Butler’s head coach, Voris guided the Bulldogs to a 3-8 mark and a tie for fi fth place in the PFL. His fi rst victory at Butler snapped an 18-game losing streak by the Bulldogs, and the team’s three total wins matched Butler’s victory total for the previous three seasons combined. A former record-setting quarterback at DePauw University, Voris was named the 24th head football coach at Butler in December of 2005. He previously had served as head coach at Carroll (Wis.) College for fi ve seasons, following assistant coaching stints at Edinboro, DePauw, Texas and Illinois. Voris spent fi ve seasons rebuilding the football program at Carroll. His fi rst team in 2001 had just 51 players. In 2005 with the squad size up to 111 players, he guided the Pioneers to a 6-4 record and a third place fi nish in the Midwest Conference. It was Carroll’s fi rst winning season since 1996, and the Pioneers’ six league wins tied the school record for most MWC wins. During his fi ve campaigns at Carroll, Voris coached one second team All-American, one honorable mention All-American, 11 fi rst team all-conference players and 30 academic all-conference performers. He coached an all-conference quarterback in four of his fi ve seasons. Carroll teams broke 10 school records for offense and special teams during his tenure, and his 2005 squad ranked fourth in the NCAA Division III in punt return average. Voris took the Carroll head coaching position after spending one season on the staff of head coach Lou Tepper at Edinboro. He previously served under head coach Nick Mourouzis at DePauw. During his four seasons as offensive coordinator at DePauw, the Tigers compiled a 29-11 record, won one conference championship and posted four consecutive wins over Wabash in the Monon Bell Classic. He coached an all-conference quarterback in 1996 and 1997, and DePauw ranked eighth in the NCAA Division III in passing offense in 1996. DePauw also ranked fi rst in Division III in turnover margin in 1996 and eighth in turnover margin in 1998. He was the head junior varsity coach at DePauw in 1994-95, and he served as strength and conditioning coach for the Tigers in all six seasons. Voris began his collegiate coaching career in 1990 as a graduate assistant at Illinois. During his two seasons with the Illini, he assisted with defensive backs and outside linebackers. He later spent two seasons at Texas, where he worked with wide receivers and the offensive line. The Butler coach was a four-year starting quarterback at DePauw, 1986-89. He was a three-time team Most Valuable Player and a team captain in 1989. He earned honorable mention All-America recognition in 1988 and 1989, and he still holds

Chart Climbing

Wide receiver Dan Bohrer turned in one of the most prolific pass catching seasons in Butler football history in 2008, and his effort boosted him toward the top of Butler’s career receiving lists. Heading into his final campaign, Bohrer stands second on Butler’s all-time list for pass receptions and sixth on the school’s all-time list for receiving yards. He needs just two catches to tie the Butler all-time record of 142, held by Eric Voss (1990-93), and he’s 406 yards shy of the all-time Butler mark of 2,176 receiving yards, also held by Voss. Bohrer needs three touchdown catches to tie the Butler all-time record of 15, held by Mike Chrobot (1975-78).

Football Support Services

Butler athletes benefi t from an extensive strength and condition-ing program under the direction of a full-time strength and condition-ing coordinator. The purpose of Butler’s strength training program is twofold. One is to reduce the risk of injury and the second is to increase performance potential. By increasing the strength of each athlete’s muscles, bones and connective tissues, the chance of incur-ring an injury while performing lessens. The increase in functional strength is also an important step toward Butler athletes realizing their athletic potential. The strength and conditioning program stresses fl exibility, agility, jumping skills, speed and reaction time, as well as strength. The program utilizes free weights, strength machinery, manual resistance and additional innovative techniques to help maximize the chance for Butler athletes to succeed. The center of Butler’s strength and conditioning program is the 4,000-square foot weight training room located in Hinkle Fieldhouse. The weight room, which features an entire outside wall of glass, is stocked with free weights, weight machines, stationary bikes, stair-masters, and related apparatus, and allows Butler athletes to train in an open and comfortable environment.

Butler student-athletes have access to a comprehensive sports medicine program that focuses on the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries. Under the supervision of a staff of certifi ed athletic trainers, Butler’s athletes are served by an extensive team of physicians and health care professionals. The Bulldogs’ training room is located on the west end of Hinkle Fieldhouse. Renovation in the summer of 1998 allowed the training room to be divided into dedicated areas for rehabilitation/injury management and athlete preparation.

Butler’s athletic training staff provides care for Butler student-athletes at practices and games, while also maintaining daily hours for treatment and rehabilitation. The staff also works to educate Butler’s student-athletes in the areas of injury prevention, nutrition and various wellness issues. Butler’s sports medicine program utilizes the extensive medical community in Indianapolis, which boasts one of the largest and most knowledgeable groups of sports medicine professionals in the nation. Butler student-athletes have access in Indianapolis to world-renowned medical facilities, as well as many of the leading physicians in the world of sports medicine.

Balancing the demands of NCAA Division I athletics with the responsibilities of a rigorous academic schedule is one of the biggest challenges facing collegiate student-athletes. To help ease that chal-lenge Butler provides a dedicated academic support system. The Athletic Academic Support Offi ces are located in Hinkle Fieldhouse, where the staff is available to assist student-athletes in solving aca-demic and nonacademic problems. Butler offers its student-athletes academic and career counseling, guidance in study skills and time management, and academic tutoring. The academic staff monitors each student-athlete’s progress toward Butler’s degree requirements. Support services for student-athletes are provided on a by-need or by-student/coach request basis. Butler teams and student-athletes have won numerous league and national academic awards. The football team had six players named to the Pioneer Football League Academic All-League team in 2008.

The Butler Bowl, home to Butler football for eight decades, received a major face-lift for the 2005 season. Located on the northeast side of Butler’s campus just east of storied Hinkle Fieldhouse, the Butler Bowl was renovated as part of a project to build new student housing along the east side of the stadium. The project began during the summer of 2005 with the removal of the Hilton U. Brown Theatre, located in the south end zone, and the demolition of the east stands. A new fi eld turf surface replaced the former grass fi eld and a new scoreboard was added to the south end zone. The fi eld itself was raised by nearly eight feet and moved slightly to the south. The future plans for the Butler Bowl include additional permanent seating on the west (home) side of the stadium and portable temporary seating on the east (visitor’s) side. A design has been submitted for a new pressbox building, which would include public restrooms and a concession stand. The plan also has a provision for adding lights to the fi eld. The original Butler Bowl was designed as part of a mas-sive project developed to give Butler University one of the fi n-est athletic plants in the nation. Construction on the Bowl was completed in time for the start of the 1928 football season, and Butler inaugurated the stadium by defeating Franklin, 55-0. The Bowl opened with seating for 36,000 spectators. The fi rst major change to the Bowl came in 1955, when the Hilton U. Brown Theatre was constructed in the south end zone. The huge outdoor theater replaced 16,000 seats and gave Butler one of the premier open-air stage facilities in the Midwest. For years, the Hilton U. Brown Theatre served as the summer home for Starlight Musicals, which brought the best in off-Broadway performances to Indianapolis. The Bulldogs have compiled a 250-139-11 record in 80 seasons in the Butler Bowl.

The Butler Bowl currently has permanent seating for 2,500 fans, plus additional lawn seating. Future plans for the stadium include permanent seating for 6,000 fans.

Butler Athletics

Eighteen of Butler’s 19 intercollegiate teams compete in the Horizon League, along with Cleveland State, Detroit, UIC, Loyola, UW-Green Bay, UW-Milwaukee, Valparaiso, Wright State and Youngstown State. The Butler football program is affi liated with the Pioneer Football League, which includes Campbell, Dayton, Drake, San Diego, Valparaiso, Davidson, Morehead State and Jacksonville. All of Butler’s teams compete at the NCAA Division I level. It was clear from the earliest days that athletics was destined to play a major role in shaping Butler University. When the school moved to its current Fairview Campus location in the 1920’s, two of the fi rst structures completed were a 15,000-seat fi eldhouse and a 36,000-seat football stadium. The fi eldhouse, which was the largest of its kind when it was completed in 1928, is now a historical landmark. The Butler Fieldhouse, renamed Hinkle Fieldhouse in 1966, came to symbolize not only Butler athletics, but also “Hoosier Hysteria” in Indiana. The building became the combined home of Butler basketball and the Indiana High School State Tournament. The legends of Indiana basketball, from Oscar Robertson to George McGinnis to Larry Bird, all played in the Fieldhouse at one time or another. The football stadium, named the Butler Bowl, was down-sized from 36,000 seats to a 20,000-seat stadium in the mid-1950’s, and then underwent another

major overhaul, including the addition of a new Pro Grass surface, in the summer of 2005. Currently, the Butler Bowl is home to Butler’s football and soccer teams. While Hinkle Fieldhouse provided a nationally acclaimed setting for Butler athletics, it was Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle who brought national recognition to the school as a coach and athletic administrator. He came to Butler in 1921 and remained with the University until his death in 1992. Hinkle served as a teacher, coach and athletic administrator for nearly half a century, and he compiled more than 1,000 victories as coach of Butler’s football, basketball and baseball teams. He made a particular impact on Butler’s basketball program, winning 560 games from 1926 to 1970. Hinkle is enshrined in the James Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The Bulldogs have carried on the win-ning tradition set forth by Hinkle. In the past decade, Butler teams have captured 41 conference championships. The Bulldogs have made appearances in NCAA National Championships in men’s and women’s bas-ketball, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, lacrosse, men’s ten-nis, men’s and women’s track and baseball. Butler captured the James J. McCafferty trophy, awarded annually by the Horizon League for all-sports excellence based on conference championship points, in six of the last 14 seasons.

Butler was ranked as one of the “Top 50” men’s basketball programs since 1984-85 by ESPN in the summer of 2008. The Bulldogs have posted an 85-17 record and three NCAA Tournament appearances in the last three years.

Butler’s Lauren Showers became just the second player in Horizon League history to be named to the women’s golf All-League team for four consecutive years.

Nike is the official provider of apparel, footwear and equipment for Butler athletics.

Barry Collier, former men’s basketball coach at Nebraska and Butler, was named director of athlet-ics at Butler in August of 2006. The appointment returned Collier to his alma mater. Collier began his head coaching career at Butler

in 1989. In 11 seasons, he guided the Bulldogs to a 196-132 record, including a school-re-cord fi ve 20-win seasons. He led Butler to fi ve league regular season and tournament championships, three NCAA Tournament bids and two trips to the NIT. He was named league Coach of the Year four times. Collier was a two-year basketball let-terwinner at Butler, 1974-76. He was a team captain, all-league performer and co-MVP in 1975-76, and he was inducted into Butler’s Athletic Hall of Fame in the summer of 2006. He earned a B.A. degree from Butler in 1976 and a Master’s Degree from Indiana State in 1977.

The 2009 season marks the 17th year for the Pioneer Football League – the nation’s only non-scholarship NCAA Football Championship Subdivision conference. The league has expanded to 10 members this season, with Marist College joining as a fulltime member. In addition, the Pioneer Football League will participate for the fourth consecutive year in the Gridiron Classic, a postseason championship game which pits the PFL champion against the Northeast Conference champion. The PFL is one of only three conferences that sponsor football as its only sport (the Missouri Valley Football Conference and Great West Football Conferences being the others). However, the PFL is a truly national conference with members on each coast and throughout the nation’s heartland. The league still retains four of its charter members – Butler University, the University of Dayton, Drake University and Valparaiso University, plus the University of San Diego (joining in 1992) – which were joined in 2001 by Davidson College, Jacksonville University and Morehead State University. Campbell University joined the league for the 2008 season. In January 1991 the NCAA passed legislation to require Division I institutions to sponsor all intercollegiate sports at the Division I level. The fi ve charter members (Evansville the fi fth before dropping football in 1997), each dedicated to the enhancement and sound management of intercollegiate football as an integral part of the student-athletes’ collegiate experience, joined together to form the Pioneer Football League. From the league’s inception it has been a proponent of the creation of a non-scholarship football classifi cation within Division I and adopted the moniker of Pioneer based on the intent to become the fi rst league in that new division. All 10 current members are committed to the non-scholarship football model. The PFL began play in 1993 with Dayton winning the league’s fi rst crown. The league spent its fi rst season in 1993 under the administrative guidance of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, and the offi ce moved to St. Louis in 1994 when current commissioner Patty Viverito was named the PFL commissioner, a leadership position she continues to fi ll.

Butler University

The fi ve faculty and 113 students present when Butler Univer-sity opened in 1855 laid a solid foundation for 154 years of creative change and progress. Today’s more than 4,000 students continue to look ahead while treasuring the traditions unique to Butler. The young school, originally named North Western Christian University, was unusually innovative. It was the fi rst in Indiana, and only the third in the nation, to admit women on an equal basis with men. With the appointment in 1858 of Catherine Merrill as Demia Butler Professor of English, the institution became the second in the country to appoint a woman faculty member, the fi rst to establish an endowed chair specifi cally for a female professor and the fi rst to establish a professorship in English literature. The school was also the fi rst in Indiana to allow its students, with parental consent, to choose subjects under a new “elective” system. As Indianapolis grew, the city’s commercial district began to penetrate the heavily-wooded campus at what is now the corner of Thirteenth Street and College Avenue. In 1873, the board of direc-tors decided to sell the downtown campus and accept a gift of 25 acres in Irvington, then a suburb east of Indianapolis. In 1877, North Western Christian University became Butler University, taking the name of its founder, Indianapolis attorney Ovid Butler. Butler moved again 50 years later, as the “Circle City” continued to grow. In 1928, classes were held for the fi rst time in Jordan Hall, an imposing new Gothic structure erected on the beautiful Fairview Park Site, a wooded tract north of the city on the White River and the Inland Waterway Canal. Today’s students come from nearly every state in the nation and from many foreign countries to enroll in degree programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, or in one of four professional colleges -- Business Administration, Education, Fine Arts or Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Butler is one of only 21 private schools in the country offering a pharmacy program. True to the vision of its founders, the University continues to offer an array of professional and pre-professional programs within the context of a strong commitment to the traditional arts and sciences and to the values of liberal education. Butler continues to welcome highly motivated, intellectually curious men and women, and to prepare them for lives of professional and community service and creative, ethical action. Butler is one of the top 20 U. S. colleges for producing business executives, is in the top 10% for preparing future Ph.D.s and is located in the #2 city for college graduates starting a career. Although the thriving city of Indianapolis has once again grown to surround Butler University, the 290-acre campus remains a serenely beautiful area with 20 buildings, playing fi elds, a formal botanical garden, and a nature preserve surrounded by well-established residential communities. Located only fi ve miles from “The Circle,” the heart of the city, the campus offers easy access to cultural and sporting events in downtown Indianapolis. Butler’s mission is to provide the highest quality of liberal and professional education and to integrate the liberal arts into profes-sional education by creating, and fostering a stimulating intellectual community built upon interactive dialogue and inquiry among faculty and students. Butler University is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The University is licensed for teacher training by the State Department of Education in Indiana and appears on the approved list of the American Association of University Women.
