CHANCE TO WIN TAILGATING PRIZES

When Tracy Cracraft sent herson, River, off to play football atWashington State, she neverknew she’d see him on the fieldso often his freshman season.

And she didn’t realize howlittle she’d see of him off thefield the rest of the year.

Because at a Pac-12 footballprogram, the season may end inDecember but the timecommitment is year-round. The2014 season begins early for theCougars with a game againstRutgers on Aug. 28, but inreality this season began themoment the last one ended.

“River came home for a weekright when summer schoolended in June,” Tracy Cracraftsaid. “He was able to comehome for a week and prior tothat he came home for a weekduring spring break, and priorto that he was home for acouple weeks at Christmas.”

Players at WSU also get oneweek off in August before fallcamp.

Even during those few periodswhen River Cracraft was home,he still had one foot back inMartin Stadium, doing whateverit took to build on the successesof his first year, when he wasnamed All-Pac-12 honorablemention. Nearly every day backin Trabuco Canyon, Calif., hewas calling anyone with an armand a football to play catchwith.

Cone drills for footwork,lifting weights, running routesagainst imaginary defenders andeven some extra conditioningfilled River Cracraft’s and theother Cougars’ summers. Evenwhen the team has practice,Cracraft can often be seencatching passes long after otherplayers have gone in.

“Honestly, none of that camefrom me or my parents oranything. He really just went offand did that on his own,” hisbrother, Skyler Cracraft, admits.“My dad played sports growingup but he never pushed River to

do extra work. He wasn’t hardon him, he just wanted us toplay sports to have fun. Riverwas really just self-motivatedand just built his work ethicfrom the ground up.”

That hard work begat moretime commitments, as strengthcoach Jason Loscalzo demandedthat the team put to use all theice baths and other recoveryequipment in WSU’s footballoperations building.

The building comes completewith a modern, football-onlyweight room. On Mondays,Tuesdays, Wednesdays andFridays throughout the offseasonthe Cougars were liftingweights. Because they no longerhave to share a weight roomwith other sports, the strengthcoaches have added to theworkouts the players performedin the past.

“We have that new facility soguys were coming in left andright doing extra work,”Loscalzo said.

“We have our NCAA rules wego by, our eight hours a week,and if the coaches are meetingwith them we take that time outof our training. But the biggestthing I saw out of our guys thisyear was we didn’t have to prodthem to do extra stuff on theirown. A lot of guys would cometo us and ask what they coulddo.”

On the days when theCougars don’t have organizedteam activities, they work. When

they don’t work, they thinkabout working. With thephysical toll college footballplayers put themselves through,the periods where the body isallowed to recover can be justas important.

Even while resting, though,football is on the brain 24/7.

“I’m not killing myself, there’sno need for that,” River Cracraftsays. “I’m taking a lot of mentalreps. One of my high schoolcoaches told me that once youcan teach it, you’ll know itbetter, so I’m always trying toteach people because it helpsmyself and it helps the otherperson.”

The receiver gained an eagerand familiar pupil this offseasonwhen Skyler joined the Cougarsas a walk-on defensive backdespite not playing organizedfootball since high school. River,two years his junior, has spentmuch of his offseasonconsolidating his ownknowledge of what it takes to bea college football player byschooling his big brother.

“The whole day pretty muchconsisted of football,” SkylerCracraft said. “I’m defense, he’soffense, so we’re always goingone-on-one. He explains howhe’s going to do this, I explainhow I’m going to do that andjust trying to figure it out onboth sides.”

The amount of time spentwatching what had happenedcompared to the amount of timeactually doing it was a surprise.

“There’s a lot (of film),”Skyler Cracraft said. “We’rewatching film with our coachesat least two to three times a dayright now. And then wheneverwe have a break at fall camp mybrother and I are in the filmroom.”

Skyler Cracraft joined theteam after trekking to everygame last season, something hismother will continue to do in2014. In that way she canactually see her boys on aweekly basis, something thatjust isn’t possible duringsummer break.

Washington State receiver River Cracraft watches film two to three times a day with coaches and whenever he has a break.

By Jacob Thorpejacobt@spokesman.com, (509) 710-8070

The biggest thing I

saw out of our guys

this year was we

didn’t have to prod

them to do extra stuff

on their own. A lot of

guys would come to

us and ask what they

could do.”

Returning to a bowl gameLast season the Cougars made it

through one of the nation’s toughestschedules to end a decade-long bowldrought. They’ll have to do it again ifthey want to follow that drought bybuilding a streak.

The Pac-12 has six teams ranked inthe Associated Press preseason Top 25and the Cougars play all of them exceptNo. 7 UCLA. While WSU does haveseven home games, including six inPullman, they will have to playseemingly close matchups against

Oregon State and Utah on the road.WSU has a good chance of sweeping itsnon-conference slate against Rutgers,Nevada and Portland State. To reach abowl game, then, the Cougars wouldonly need to win three Pac-12 games.

Sharing the ballWashington State could once again

throw the ball more than 700 timesthis season and still have troublespreading the ball around among allthe receivers. And, if the Cougarschuck it around that much, they’ll beneglecting a stable of running backsthat deserve carries.

The Cougars return their top eightreceivers from last season andfreshman Calvin Green appears poisedto receive a lot of playing time. Asproof of depth, Gabe Marks – theteam’s best receiver last season – maystruggle to see the field after good fallcamps from other Z receivers IsiahMyers and Kristoff Williams.

The Cougars are in a similar positionat running back. Last year’s starterMarcus Mason led the team inoffensive yards gained, but TheronWest catapulted to the top of the depthchart in the spring. Right behind Westis a pair of impressive freshmen –Jamal Morrow and Gerard Wicks.

The youngster factorOn both sides of the ball the Cougars

have experienced starters and backups,

But the offensive line and defensivesecondary each lost three starters andthe replacements are largely untested.The Cougars will start redshirtfreshman Cole Madison at right tackleand either Riley Sorenson or Sam Flor,both sophomores, at center.

Good play from the offensive linewill be essential to keeping quarterbackConnor Halliday healthy. A seriousinjury would send WSU’s bowl hopesplummeting.

Deone Bucannon’s replacement atstrong safety will likely be DariousLemora, unless sophomore IsaacDotson is healthy. CornerbackDaquawn Brown had a good freshmancampaign last season, but it will betough to match Damante Horton’ssenior season that included threeinterceptions for touchdowns.

The young defensive backs have a lotof pressure to perform above their agein the pass-happy conference thatreturns 10 starting quarterbacks.

PAGE N6 � THURSDAY � AUGUST 21, 2014 THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW

In the children’s game of musicalchairs, the big loser is the kid whocan’t find a seat when the musicstops.

In college football’s game ofmusical chairs, the big loser isprobably Connecticut.

Or, in the expanded game, toss inBoise State, Cincinnati, CentralFlorida and maybe Brigham Young.

After years of pillaging, plunderingand back-stabbing – some of it duringthe season! – one of college football’smost distasteful chapters is happilyending.

Conference realignment, whichdirtied up an entire decade startingwith the Atlantic Coast Conferenceraiding the Big East of Miami,Virginia Tech and Boston College, isfinally setting in wet cement.

The irony: It took the league thatstarted it to stop it.

The ACC, which somewhatrecklessly set off the dominoes whenit frontally attacked the Big East,found itself vulnerable after itcompleted its redesign by addingPittsburgh, Syracuse and Louisville.

The Big Ten countered by stealingMaryland from the ACC with maybea thought of going after GeorgiaTech. The Big 12, decimated by whatthe ACC started, might have had aretribution eye on Florida Stateand/or Clemson.

Last year, though, the ACCeffectively stopped this nonsense bygetting its members to consent to a“grant of rights” agreement. Thismeans any school that leaves theACC between now and 2026-27 mustsurrender all its television rights backto the league.

That is simply not ... going ... to ...happen.

Call this positive news the calm ina summer of storms.

There was a heavy price to pay forsome, but the final contortions arealmost complete.

The divide between the 65 schoolsin the Power Five conferences (plusNotre Dame) and everyone else,which existed before even if somedidn’t want to believe it, has nowbeen officially ratified.

The NCAA’s recent vote to cedethe wealthy football leaguesautonomy basically codified thedivisional lines.

If you didn’t find a home beforethe music stopped, you got leftbehind.

How shakedown shook out� The ACC finally completes its

alignment box set by addingLouisville this year. The Cardinalsbailed just in time as the Big Eastdismantled and reformed as a lesserunion called the American AthleticConference. Louisville joinsPittsburgh and Syracuse, which leftthe Big East last year.

The ACC is set with its 14-schoolalignment, championship game andprotected place in the new CollegeFootball Playoff.

� The Big Ten’s gurgling stopsafter adding Maryland from the ACCand Rutgers from the former BigEast. The Big Ten now has 14 schools,divided into East and West divisions,a huge branding improvement fromthe fiasco of “Leaders” and “Legends”divisions.

Maryland and Rutgers join themore difficult East division, whichincludes Michigan State, Michigan,Ohio State and Penn State.

This is not Tom Harmon’s Big Ten.Michigan’s home schedule this year“features” Appalachian State, Miami(Ohio), Utah, Minnesota, Penn State,Indiana and Maryland, with Rutgerson the road.

The question is whether anyfootball game at the Big House thisyear tops the 109,318 who attended anAugust soccer exhibition featuringManchester United and Real Madrid.

� The Big 12 is, well, what it is,stuck at 10 teams after the midnightexodus of Texas A&M and Missourito the Southeastern Conference.

Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsbyadmits his league is “numericallychallenged,” but also happy just to bealive. The upside: His league’splaying of a nine-game, round-robinschedule should produce the truestchampion among the top leagues.

“I like our path to thechampionship,” Bowlsby said of thenew four-team playoff. “I think thefact we play everybody in our leagueis a nuance that is not going to be loston the selection committee.”

The downside for Power Fivecontinuity is the Big 12 does not haveenough schools to divide into leaguesand play a championship game. TheNCAA requires two divisions of atleast six schools. Bowlsby would liketo get a waiver from the NCAA to atleast explore the possibility of playinga title game with only 10 teams.

It makes sense the Big 12 mighteventually add two schools to matchthe number on its masthead.Connecticut, Cincinnati and CentralFlorida might want to see thathappen.

� The Pac-12 and SEC are lockedand loaded. The addition of Utah andColorado has not yet significantlyenhanced the Pac, but it did allow theleague to split into divisions andmake more money with a title game.Missouri and Texas A&M have,surprisingly, added football heft tothe now 14-team SEC. The Pac-12,SEC and Big Ten are the bedrocks asthey have never, in modern times,lost a team to another corporateraider.

Winners and losersThe cutthroat expansion game left

a clear-cut separation.Winner: Notre Dame. The Irish get

the best of everything as they are

allowed to remain footballindependent while playing five annualgames against the ACC. Notre Damealso has contracted tie-ins to theOrange Bowl and ACC bowl roster.The Irish will be in the national titlechase in years they can navigate analways challenging schedule (see:2012).

Loser: Brigham Young? We couldbe wrong here, but the Cougars’decision to go independent in footballcould be a reach in the playoff era.BYU has a special niche andfollowing, but it is not Notre Dame.

Winners: Texas Christian, Utah,Rutgers. The first two escaped theMountain West just before the ironcurtain came down. TCU found acomfortable home in thepower-league Big 12, while Utah hitthe hallelujah highway with itslast-second invite to the Pac-12 afterthe league’s plan to expand to 16 fellapart.

Rutgers, really, is Big Ten-worthy?And they said pigs would fly first.

Loser: Connecticut (alsoCincinnati, Central Florida). TheHuskies are a former Big East footballprogram that got boxed out, mainlybecause of politics and foot-dragging,from following Syracuse and Pitt tothe ACC. Connecticut played in aFiesta Bowl as recently as 2010, butall it got was a lousy T-shirt. The BigEast began the Bowl ChampionshipSeries era in 1998 as one of sixprivileged football leagues. It has nowbeen re-cobbled among the Gilligan’sIsland “And the Rest” leagues alongwith the Mid-American, Sun Belt,Conference USA and the MountainWest.

American Athletic CommissionerMike Aresco, at this summer’s mediaday, vowed to keep fighting for hisleague’s place in the new universe.The American conference is proppedup now by Cincinnati, Connecticut,East Carolina and Central Florida,with Navy coming aboard in 2015.

Aresco said, “We will not take aback seat to anyone” and then quotedAbraham Lincoln: “Some seeopportunity in every obstacle, whileothers see obstacles in everyopportunity.”

Good luck with all that.Winner: Chris Petersen. One of the

nation’s top coaches jumped fromBoise State just in time and caught alifeboat to Washington. Petersen hadto know the new rules would make itincreasingly difficult to sustain BoiseState’s excellence as the powerconferences got richer at the expenseof the poorer ones.

Loser: Boise State. The Broncoshad an incredible run in a BCS systemthat was stacked against schools frommid-major conferences. In 2010, infact, Boise State came within a missedfield goal at Nevada from probablyplaying for the title.

Boise and San Diego State tried tomake a football run for the Big East,but were forced back to the MountainWest after the Big East collapsed.

Gone, seemingly, are days whenschools such as Boise will makenational charges by defeating twopower-league teams in nonconferenceand then running roughshod throughthe Western Athletic or MountainWest.

Not only will the selectioncommittee have a more discerningeye toward conference strength, theold-school contenders are alreadybeefing up their future schedulesagainst other power-league schools.

One of the questions asked in arecent ESPN survey of coaches waswhether schools from power leaguesshould even play schools from thenon-power leagues.

Petersen checked the box for “no.”He later backtracked and said that’s

not what he meant.There is no denying, however, that

Petersen is playing in a differentleague now. There is also no denyingthat big shots have divided collegefootball with only one remainingobjective: conquer.

Welcome to big time

STAGE SET FOR 65 (AND THE OTHERS)

When the dust settled, Washington first-year coach Chris Petersen left Boise State at the most perfect time . . . for him.

College football is a modern monument tomore.

More commitment. More resources. Moretime. More television. More money. Moredemands. More divisiveness.

Elsewhere in these pages, you’ll read ofthe no-break schedules of the contemporaryplayer and the changes that have accrued oncoaching staffs over the years. Off-seasonconditioning, expanded recruitingcalendars,retina-ruining videostudy – those are justpart of a trickle-downobsessiveness in thecollege footballculture born bothfrom the competitivegene innate in all thegame’s principals andever-skyrocketingfinancial stakes.

Simply, it’s all about more.Which begs the question: with so much

more being demanded, is the game more . . .better?

“No,” insisted Jim Walden. “It reallyisn’t.”

OK, you don’t reach out to theneighborhood contrarian to talk you out of apet antithesis. We pretty much knewWalden would have some strong feelings onthe subject of the evolution of the game.Remember, he may have resigned as coachat Washington State long ago, but he gotfired as the radio color guy.

Still, it’s not as if he’s in lockstep with allof us throwing darts at college football thesedays. Take, for instance, the insanity – orobscenity, if you prefer – of coachingsalaries.

“I love the fact that they’re makingmoney,” he said. “It’s the American way.”

That doesn’t mean he necessarily thinksanyone – school, fan or player – is gettingbang for the buck.

“Coaches are getting paid a lot more to doless – video has made it so much easier,” hesaid. “And the operations guys and staffpositions have multiplied like crazy.

“But players are getting the same to do ahell of a lot more.”

Mostly, he just doesn’t see that the gameitself is inherently more appealing than itwas when he coached at WSU nearly 30years ago.

This is eye-of-the-beholder stuff, sure.Since the end of unlimited scholarships in1972, per-game scoring has increased bynearly 20 points. Quarterbacks who don’tcomplete two out of every three throws findthemselves on the bench, when 50 percentused to elicit huzzahs. The players arebigger, faster, more explosive – as they’rebetter trained, better fed and betterdoctored.

“They have to be,” Walden said, “given thetime they’re expected to put in now. But it’snot like the same people aren’t getting thesame athletes.”

Hard to argue. The teams atop thepreseason AP poll: Florida State, Alabama,Oregon, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Auburn andUCLA. Other than the nouveau riche Ducks,how does that look any different from therankings of 20, 30 and 40 years ago?

“Washington State has one quarterback,”Walden noted. “If he goes down, good luckwinning another game.”

And major college attendance hasn’tchanged significantly since 30-oddprograms were lopped off into what is nowthe FCS in the ’80s. No, stadium capacitiesaren’t going to allow for huge jumps, but thenumbers confirm the game was alreadymore than popular.

Turning players into year-round subjectswas never going to goose the excitement –any more than calling that commitmentvoluntary makes it optional.

“When you talk to some of these parents,”Walden said, “they find out that they sendtheir kids to college when they’re 18 yearsold and they go into a dark hole and don’tcome out. It’s, ‘Whatever happened to myson? He didn’t come back for five years.’

“Money isn’t the only reason kids leaveearly to go to the NFL. If you make a proteam, you get some time off.”

It was comical to hear earnest testimonyfrom fretful educrats in the recent O’Bannontrial warning that letting players earn ontheir abilities and likenesses wouldinevitably lessen college athletics’ fan appealas a purely amateur endeavor, seeing asthey’ve done nothing but enable coaches toratchet up the demands on their athletes’time. Meanwhile, they’ve erected footballoperations facilities that humble some NFLbuildings, and in the process managed tofurther sequester their student-athletesfrom mere students.

“There’s an appeasement factor now, andmaybe it’s to keep these kids from rebelling,”Walden said. “You go into these factoriesand there are all these amenities – thewide-open cafeteria and the rest. And whenthey get out, guess what? They have to standin line with everyone else and pay for that.

“How many ways can we find to keepthem from intermingling with the studentbody? It’s not normal, and it’s not healthy.”

None of this will mute the volume onSaturday afternoons – or Tuesday, Thursdayor Friday evenings, depending on your locallistings. At least not in those elite precinctsthat are home to schools in one of the fivemajor conferences who have been grantedsignificant autonomy from the NCAA.They’ll be a quasi-pro operation in due time,and it would be nice to think that the schoolsleft behind could return to playing collegefootball.

Or something less than the current gameof more.

MORE IS IN, BUT ISCOLLEGE FOOTBALLBETTER WITH MORE?

Perhaps student-athletes shouldmanage their time better.

Shower faster, don’t get hurt, and byall means don’t talk to the media.

The NCAA mandates that collegeathletes spend no more than 20 hours aweek devoted to their sport, but takesan inventive approach to what countstoward those 20 hours:

Physical rehabilitation and medicaltreatment, even if it’s needed toparticipate in sports: not counted.Travel to road games? Not counted.

Dressing, showering and taping, beforeand after athletic events? Nope.

There’s much more that’s off thetable, including the training table itself;plus tutoring sessions, fund-raisingactivities and media interviews.

What does count toward those 20hours? Practices, weight-training, filmsessions and other meetings expresslyrequired by the coaches. That’s it.

The operative word is “required.”Often, these activities are deemedvoluntary, especially individualsummer workouts that have becomethe norm in college football. Mostcollege football players remain on

campus during the off-season,fine-tuning their muscles and theirtiming along with their teammates.

During the playing season, playersoften gather for meetings and filmsessions that are voluntary in nameonly; miss them and you not only riskbeing ostracized by your teammates,but falling a step behind them as well.

The same goes for practices: a2-hour session often begins half anhour earlier, and many players stay late– “voluntarily.”

Game days count for three hours,even though football players, forexample, arrive up to three hours

before the contest begins and routinelyspend a total of 7 hours by the timethey leave for home.

It all adds up to an average of 40 to50 hours a week, the National LaborRelations Board Region 13 found inissuing a ruling last March grantingNorthwestern University footballplayers the right to unionize.

The decision is considered a majorblow to the NCAA’s amateurism rules,and may lead to changes in collegeathletics, but that could be years away.

In the meantime, the NCAA issticking to its 20-hour rule, and forcingits athletes to break it.

20 HOURS? WHAT COUNTS, WHAT DOESN’TBy Jim Allen

jima@spokesman.com, (509) 459-5437

PAGE N8 � THURSDAY � AUGUST 21, 2014 THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW

There are days when Dylan Zylstraasks himself, “Wouldn’t it be awesometo just go to class?”

Just class, nothing else. No endlesssessions in the film room, no liftingheavy plates in the weight room and thedining room. No getting knocked on hisbutt at practice.

And definitely no bear crawls in anoverheated gym room at 11 p.m. – inFebruary.

In other words, no football. No way.“As painful and miserable as it can

get sometimes, the feeling of runningthrough the tunnel on Saturday getsyou through almost anything,” saidZylstra, a senior defensive lineman atEastern Washington.

And when the cheering ends?“Pretty soon, I’m going to be looking

for a job, and I think I’m going to havean edge because I know to work hard,”Zylstra said.

And smart. Somehow, for going onfive years, the 22-year-old Zylstra hasbalanced a 40-hour-a-week footballseason with a full class load, agirlfriend, a social life and a black labnamed Asher who loves to go pheasanthunting.

Besides a bachelor’s degree inbusiness management, Zylstra will haveearned an unofficial master’s in timemanagement, all thanks to football.

Says Zylstra: “I have no idea forwhat’s going to come after this, and Imay not be the most talented or the bestqualified, but I’m always going to workmy hardest.”

A season without endOne of the biggest misconceptions

about the college football season is thatit has a beginning and an end.

Barely two weeks after the Eagleslost their FCS semifinal playoff gamelast Dec. 21, they were back in theweight room – two hours a day, fourdays a week.

The goal is simple: “Getting as big asyou can,” said Zylstra, who understandsthe concept as well as anyone. He was a205-pound linebacker at KentridgeHigh School who was recruited in 2010by Montana State and Air Force, butonly Eastern offered to let him move tothe line.

In addition to that, “I fell in love withthe place,” said Zylstra, who also

embraced the idea of packing on muscleas part of a diet-and-exercise regimen.

“It’s hard to get started, but once youstart buying into what the trainers aredoing, the weight will come on,” Zylstrasaid.

Zylstra was up to 225 by the fall of2011, when he saw limited action on theline; now he’s at 285 – a bit light for aDivision I lineman, but he makes up forit in speed and ranginess.

“I could be a 300-pounder, but Idon’t think I’d play the way I was meantto play,” Zylstra said. Or negotiate thewinter conditioning drills on Tuesdayand Thursday nights in Reese Court.

“That’s when you find your identityas a young guy,” Zylsta said. “We call it‘night ball,’ the coaches are in the matroom with the heat cranked up andyou’re doing bear crawls at 11 o’clock atnight – in January and February.”

The next morning, Zylstra and histeammates drag themselves to class.

After a week off in late Marchbetween winter and spring term, it’stime for spring ball.

“Which really is just fall camp in thespring, with not quite as manypractices, but we’re still meeting everyday and scrimmaging on Saturdays,”Zylstra said.

Many football players try to takeheavier loads in the off season, but it’sstill a challenge. “My mother says I’man overachiever on the field and an

underachiever in the classroom,” saidZylstra, who early in his career enduredsome quarters with a GPA “in the 2s,”but has put up 3.7s the last twoquarters.

Spring ball gives way at the end ofApril to voluntary off-seasonconditioning, which for most playersextends into the summer.

“I call it voluntary-involuntary,” saidZylstra, who went home to Kent afterhis first year in the summer of 2011,“when I wasn’t sure about football.”Since then, he’s attacked summerconditioning with a vengeance, three tofour hours a day, with the rest of thetime spent at the lake, relaxing.

More than a gameThey call it fall camp, but this year it

began earlier than ever for the Eagles:July 31, which followed on the heels ofsummer conditioning.

Six of the 15 practices are two-a-days,starting at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and lastingtwo hours each.

That’s the idea, anyway, but on atypical morning, many players arrive at8:30 and don’t leave until 11:15. “Beingearly and staying late, that’s the culturehere,” Zylstra said. “If you’re not goingabove and beyond, you’re going to getpassed up.”

This year, as a senior, Zylsta is goingabove and beyond by being a mentor tothe freshmen defensive linemen. They

know he’s a preseason all-Big SkyConference selection, and they’re eagerfor tips.

Besides, he remembers camp in 2010,when he redshirted but was named thedefensive scout team player of the year.“I have to show the young guys – that’sthe circle of D-line life,” Zylstra said.

Once the season begins, the players’routine is set. It begins with a four-hoursession on Sunday, the day after a game.The entire team gathers, first alltogether with head coach Beau Baldwinsetting the tone, before the units gatherto watch film of the previous game.

Every player is graded on every play– “plus or minus, either you did yourjob or you didn’t – it’s pretty brutal,”Zylstra said.

At Eastern, Monday is always an offday. Zylstra shares a house withoffensive lineman Clay DeBord andlinebacker Miquiyah Zamora. Everychance he gets, Zylstra goes pheasanthunting or spends time with hisgirlfriend, Ariana.

This year, Mondays will be morecrowded: Zylstra will take a night class.

For almost every player, Tuesday ishump day. Team meetings start early inthe afternoon, followed by a two-hourpractice that begins at 4.

“We call that our work day,” Zylstrasaid. “It’s a lot of popping and a lot ofgrinding, but what gets me through isthe next game.”

On Wednesdays, the Eagles do all ofthe above – although practice includesless hitting – then lift weights.“Sometimes you don’t get done till 8 or8:30, and then you don’t want to doanything,” Zylstra said.

By Thursdays, Zylstra can see thelight at the end of the tunnel; there’sanother unit meeting, but practice ismainly devoted to scouting theupcoming opponent. In other words,working the brain harder than the body.

“You get dialed into your reads,watch the other teams’ tendencies andmaster your technique,” said Zylstra,who spends hours watching film of theopposing offensive line.

Fridays are light, with a teamwalkthrough on the field, whether it’shome or on the road and “let off a littlesteam.”

And then it’s game day, the higherpurpose that makes everything elseworthwhile.

Parents Doug and Belinda drive fromKent, Wash., for every home game. Hisgrandparents, now in their 80s, trek allthe way from Whidbey Island.

“That means so much to me,” Dylstrasaid.

later they lost aheartbreaker at SouthernUtah before rising to No. 2by season’s end. This year,Eastern is No. 1 in thenational media poll andNo. 2 according the the

Spreading the wealthLast year, the Eagles got

2,924 of their 5,247receiving yards (or 55.7percent) from just twoplayers: the graduatedAshton Clark (1,233 yardsand 10 touchdowns) andAll-American CooperKupp (1,691 yards and 21TDs). Assuming Kupp,now a redshirt sophomore,gets more attention thisyear from opposingdefenses, it will be up toothers to pick up the slack.That includes senior CoryMitchell (47 catches, 699yards last year) and juniorShaq Hill (38 catches, 790yards), plus veteran BlairBomber – all of whom canexpect to line up inEastern’s four-receiversets.

The Eagles will alsocount heavily on truesophomore KendrickBourne, who playedextensively last year;redshirt freshman NicSblendorio; and as many astwo true freshmen.

Running back QuincyForte (23 catches, 279yards and three TDs) alsois a receiving threat,though the rest of thereturning backfield caughtjust five balls for 53 yards.

No. 1FCS rankingThe Eagles have been

there before, with unevenresults as the top team inthe FootballChampionshipSubdivision. They took thetop spot in the nationaltitle game in 2010 andcame away with the brassring, then started the 2011season 0-4 after beinganointed as the favorite.Injuries had a lot to dowith that, but in 2012, theEagles again were No. 1after a landmark win atMontana State; two weeks

coaches, but leads the fieldin all three majormagazines – Athlon,Lindy’s and The SportingNews. Says head coachBeau Baldwin: “Thatmeans you’ve done goodthings in the past and it’snice to see thatrecognized.”

Secondary questionsNo position is getting

more attention from fansthan cornerback, wherethe Eagles lostAll-American T.J. Lee,starter Ronald Baines andtop backup Bo Schuetzle.D’londo Tucker was lost toinjury during theoffseason, meaning thatthe Eagles don’t have asingle cornerback who’splayed the position for theEagles before. Easterntook out some insurance

with Arizona State transferRashad Wadood; othercandidates are mostlyredshirt freshmen,including Jake Hoffman,Victor Gamboa, MoeRoberts and KeonteWhite; and junior FrankCange. The safety positionappears more settled, butveterans Tevin McDonald,Todd Raynes and Jordan

Tonani each missed all orpart of last year because ofinjury. What will thatmean on the field? Perhapsthe Eagles will blitz moreoften to give opposingquarterbacks less time inthe pocket.

Holding the lineLast year the Eagles

could count on a pair of

320-pounders in theinterior defensive line. ButAndru Pulu and Will Katoahave moved on, leaving intheir wake a group thatmay have less heft butmore athleticism. SeniorDylan Zylstra (285pounds) and truesophomore MatthewSommer (310 pounds)anchor a D-line that getsmost of its strength fromnumbers – and not theones on the scale. TheEagles usually rotate nineor 10 players on the line,helping keep players freshfor the fourth quarter andbuilding quality depth forthe future. Backup tacklesAshton Boothroyd (285pounds) and Jordan Pulu(280) offer that depth thisyear. At defensive end, theEagles will lose starterEvan Day for much of theseason after he suffered anACL injury in spring ball.

Playing the big boysFor the fourth year in a

row, then Eagles are takingon a team from the Pac-12.This year it’s a Sept. 6 dateat Washington and achance to duplicate lastyear’s 49-46 win at OregonState. The game offersadded motivation for theEastern players, many ofwhom grew up in thePuget Sound; it also offersa chance to atone for a 2011loss at Husky Stadium,when the Eaglesdominated statistically butlost on the scoreboard30-27. Eastern is 9-22all-time against currentFootball Bowl Subdivisionschools, but 2-2 in its lastfour games. Last year’s winin Corvallis was the Eagles’first against the Pac-12.

A week before Whitworth playersarrived, new head coach Rod Sandberginvited all of his assistants and theirwives over for dinner.

He gave the wives a Pirate coffeemug and a note, which thanked them inadvance for the impact on their livesfrom taking their husbands away forthe next several months.

With the first major coachingturnover at Whitworth in 19 years, thecoaches are giving all of their wakingmoments toward the thousands ofhours needed to prepare for the 60minutes on game day.

Two new coaches in particular,offensive coordinator Alan Stanfieldand offensive line coach Matt Miethe,both Whitworth grads, gave up headcoaching positions at high schoolprograms in Spokane to becomeassistants for Sandberg.

“That was a hard decision,” saidStanfield, who left Shadle Park and starquarterback Brett Rypien. “We had abunch of good kids coming back. Butthis job gave me the opportunity to bemore focused.

“At Shadle, I was planning for schooland had all the work of running aprogram with 125 kids,” he said. “It justseemed like this job presented adifferent rhythm of life.”

Miethe quit as head coach at RogersHigh School so he could return toWhitworth as a part-time assistant. Hewill continue to teach physicaleducation and weight training atRogers and come to Whitworth forpractices in the afternoon.

“I assumed that (college) would bemore time and more work,” Miethesaid. “What I’ve found is it’s tenfold.”

For example, Miethe said he spent90 minutes on the phone with a coachfrom Wheaton College, whereSandberg coached for 19 years prior to

last December, about how and whyoffensive linemen lock their legs forfield goals.

“I never put that much time intosuch a little thing,” he said. “The firstweek we are getting ready for campand I get asked, ‘Are we going to be in atwo-point stance or a three-pointstance?’

“I say pick one and go for it,” Miethesaid. “But, I gotta know why, whatworks best, how does it fit with whatwe are doing and how does it fit ourpersonnel. At the college level, you goto the extreme to understand everylittle detail.”

Switch to collegeIn high school, Stanfield and Miethe

had access to players during the earlysummer. All the quarterbacks and skillplayers knew the plays, and ran themhundreds of times, before they showedup for fall camp.

Both had to coordinate assistantcoaches and weight training andsummer camps. They both had toprepare for school at the same timethey planned for fall practices.

But at Whitworth, both essentiallygot July off because the players allscattered in late May and didn’t returnuntil this week.

“July was awesome,” Miethe said. “Iwas relaxing, waiting for the season tobegin.”

By early August, the coaches beganmeeting in sometimes swelteringoffices. Most wore T-shirts, shorts, flipflops and extra facial hair as theyplanned every minute of the next fewweeks.

Stanfield said his day typicallystarted before 7 a.m. and he was able togo home at about 7 p.m. But whencamp started, those days ended with ateam meeting at 9 p.m.

The time from noon to 1 p.m. issupposed to be lunch, but it alsoincludes recruiting time.

Stanfield had his wife drop off coldpizza one day after he forgot to packhis lunch. As he ate, he took a phonecall from a lineman recruit fromCalifornia who was wavering. Thenews was good.

“I’m glad you won’t be on thesideline of La Verne when we kick theirbutts,” Stanfield said between bites.

Stanfield previously coached atTimberline High School in Boise(2008-09) and learned to organizepractices after visiting Boise State.

“I studied their organization andhow they moved around soseamlessly,” Stanfield said. “That takesa lot of time and planning.”

One of the keys, especially during athree-hour practice, is to break it downto 10- or 15-minute intervals.

“If you are in an hour, or two-hour,teaching block, you’d never have kidsdo anything more than 15 minutes ofone thing without them getting up andchanging gears mentally,” he said. “Itkeeps their attention better.”

Passion more than rewardFor every multimillion dollar

contract for a high-profile Division Icoach, there are thousands likeStanfield who labor hours for passionrather than payoff.

While he didn’t say how muchWhitworth pays him, Stanfield said hetook a $15,000 annual pay cut from hisdays as a history teacher and headcoach at Shadle.

“You don’t want to ever figure outwhat we get paid hourly. That wouldbe no fun,” Stanfield said. “But whenyou are a high school coach, you knowyou are not doing it for the money.”

Asked why he pursued the change,Stanfield said: “To become a fulltimecoach. Once the school year starts, I’mspending my time on football and notteaching history six periods of day. I’mworking more hours, but it’s all goingthe same direction.”

JESSE TINSLEY jesset@spokesman.com

Alan Stanfield moved from the high school ranks at Shadle Park to full-time assistant at Whitworth so that he could focus all of his attention on the same thing.

About the only thing not changingabout Whitworth football this season isthat the Pirates will continue to playhome games at the Pine Bowl.

New coach Rod Sandberg, who istaking over after 19 years of John Tully,has brought in a new 3-4 defensivescheme. He also hired former ShadlePark coach Alan Stanfield to bring apass-first, quick-strike offense.

Along with the new schemes, thePirates are rebuilding by bringing inabout 52 recruits, transfers and athleteswho were already on campus and havedecided to give football another shot.That compares with 53 players whoeither played last year or returned frominjuries.

Whitworth started practicing fourdays ago and the Pirates play their firstgame on Sept. 6 at home againstconference foe Lewis & Clark, whichfinished 1-8 last year.

“We are a new staff, we have a newoffense and we have a new defense,”Sandberg said. “Whether our kids buyin and believe is everything.”

Arms aplentyDespite all the new players, Sandberg does

have starting quarterback Bryan Petersonreturning. The senior from West Valley hasstarted for all or parts of the last three seasons.Last year, Peterson completed better than 63percent of his passes for 1,751yards, ninetouchdowns and three interceptions. He’sbacked up by senior Michael McCune andsophomore Ian Kolste, who started the lastcouple of games last year when Peterson washurt.

Wanted: Big ugliesWhile the quarterback position appears

solid, the biggest question mark comes on theoffensive line. While the team has 18 offensivelinemen on its roster, the only returning starteris 6-foot-6, 285-pound junior Kyle Cosby, whoplayed at University High. The team lost theservices of starter Greg Vibbert, whose pastinjuries convinced him to sit his senior year.

Job opportunityReturning senior Drew Clausen led the

team with 50 catches last year for 689 yardsand three touchdowns. The only otherreturning players to catch a pass weresophomore running backs Griffin Hare, ofGonzaga Prep, who caught two; and DukeDegaetano, who caught only one.

The team got a boost by the return of a pairof juniors: Anthony Fullman and 6-5 ConnorWilliams, of Hayden, who both sat out 2013

with injuries. Jared Davis, a transfer from EastLos Angeles Community College, also mayget a look.

Old faces in new schemeSandberg likes what he sees on defense

with returning cornerbacks De’ Hall and JerrellNorman, both of Las Vegas, and incomingtransfers Michael McCrary and possibly KelvinMackey, who transferred in from SierraCollege in California.

At safety, the Bucs also get returning seniorSam Aswegen and Paul Miller, of Mead, whostarted in 2011and 2012 before missing lastyear after suffering a knee injury.

Sandberg likes his defensive line, which isanchored by defensive end junior DannyWelstad. The team lost stalwart defensivelineman Kyle Davidson to graduation but isreturning nose guard Brodrick Hirai, whomissed most of last year to injury.

At the other defensive end, junior AaronPowe, sophomore Daniel Portillo and transferjunior Nick Spagnola will compete for snaps.

At linebacker, the Pirates return both GrantLivingston, a junior from Spokane who led allreturning players with 43 tackles last year, andsenior Nic Brockhoff who had 32.

Also in the mix at linebacker will beconverted defensive ends Carlos Moiza andMichael Plueard. They join fellow returninglinebackers Justin Maxwell, a junior fromSpanaway, and sophomores Dalin McDonnelland Neil Wagner.

Introducing the NEW

Joe Junior Tailgate Grill!

MOSCOW, Idaho – Their job was tostay at the bus station and wait.

Paul and Bobby Petrino, with a $1.25from their dad in their pockets, wouldpark themselves at the pinball machinesand keep an eye out for the right bus.They didn’t mind the work.

This was in Helena, Montana, in the1970s, when pinball cost 10 cents andcollege football coaches like Bob PetrinoSr. at Carroll College had to wait for

16-millimeter game film of theiropponents to arrive before they couldmake cut-ups.

Petrino Sr. wanted to get his hands onthe tape as soon as he could. So heenlisted his sons – future quarterbacksfor him at Carroll – and ordered them tocall right when the film arrived.

Paul Petrino, now 47 and the coach atIdaho, smiled as he recalled those busstation visits with his older brother andhow different the coaching professionlooks today than it did when he helpedhis father as a boy.

Technology advances have opened upopportunities for more film study. Timeaway in the offseason is shorter becauseof new NCAA rules. Recruiting is a12-month endeavor.

All things considered, the job is moreconsuming.

“Used to be in the old days you wenthome for four weeks or went whereverand came back,” Petrino said. “But nowyou’re here the whole year, year-around.It’s a great thing – college football’s themost popular sport there is, so it’sawesome.”

Petrino Sr. drove a taxi in the summerto help provide for his family, in additionto serving as Carroll College’s athleticdirector and only full-time football coachfor part of his successful 28-year tenure.Now Paul and Bobby, the coach atLouisville, spend their summersrecruiting and monitoring players’offseason conditioning.

The really long hours, though, start inAugust. With the Vandals preparing fortheir Aug. 30 season opener at Florida,Petrino and his staff are often in theiroffices until midnight after arriving at 7or 7:30 a.m.

TYLER TJOMSLAND tylert@spokesman.comIdaho coach Paul Petrino takes in another film session with his quarterbacks. Back in the day, Petrino would wait for game film to arrive on the bus.

in career completion percentage,passing efficiency and touchdownpasses. Whoever does it won’t haveMackey Award-winning tight endAustin Seferian-Jenkins as a safetyvalve; the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneerspicked him up in the draft’s secondround.

At running back and tight end,Petersen appears to be taking a “bycommittee” approach. DwayneWashington and redshirt freshmanLavon Coleman likely will see the mostreps.

At tight end, the Huskies will playDarrell Daniels and rotate Josh Perkinsand Michael Hartvigson, who playsmore is likely dependent upon thesituation. While Perkins has shownmore ability in the passing game,Hartvigson is reportedly a betterblocker.

Who will start at quarterback?Miles is the only returning

quarterback with any playingexperience and he’s the only one who

Chris Petersen’s debutChris Petersen became one of the

most highly-regarded coaches in collegefootball at Boise State by beating up onlesser opponents and occasionallyknocking off a giant.

After years of rejecting would-besuitors, Petersen finally will show howhe handles a bigger budget and toughcompetition every week. He takes thereins of a program that appeared tofinally break through last season,winning nine games after threeconsecutive 7-6 seasons under currentUSC coach Steve Sarkisian.

Petersen instituted a hardline

approach, dismissing defensive backPatrick Enewally after an apparentaltercation with a teammate. He alsosuspended quarterback Cyler Miles andreceiver Damore’ea Stringfellow afterthe two were accused of assaultingSeahawks fans following the SuperBowl. Only Stringfellow was chargedwith a crime, and he eventuallytransferred to Mississippi.

Petersen inherits a talented team andexpectations are high. The Huskies areranked in the AP poll (No. 25) for thefirst time since 2003.

Replacing offensive starsThe Huskies may have a lot of solid

contributors returning, but they losethree of the best players they’ve ever hadat their respective positions. At runningback, UW must replace Bishop Sankey,who set the school’s single-seasonrushing record last season with 1,870yards and also tops the Huskies’ all-timelist with 37 career rushing touchdowns.

Somebody has to replace quarterbackKeith Price, the school’s record holder

definitely will not start UW’s seasonopener at Hawaii because of hissuspension.

So while Miles is still the favorite toeventually emerge as Price’s successor,the first chance to earn the spot will goto either Jeff Lindquist or TroyWilliams. Both quarterbacks are mobile,and while Lindquist supposedly has thestronger arm of the two, Williams hasbeen more accurate on deep passes inpractice.

Lindquist is bigger and takes bettercare of the football, while decisionmaking has been an issue for Williams.

Miles won the backup job last seasonand appeared in eight games, startingone at Oregon State.

Whoever wins the starting job willhave considerable time to ease into it.The UW’s first four games are all of thecreampuff variety. Even withoutknowing who the starter is, the Huskiesare favored by 16 points against UH. Thenext three games against EasternWashington, Illinois and Georgia Stateshould all be easy wins.

HUSKIESSTORY LINES

By Jacob Thorpejacobt@spokesman.com, (509) 710-8070

A conference home at lastThe Idaho Vandals were FBS

vagabonds last season, playing a 12-gameindependent schedule that was heavy onmoney games (Florida State, Ole Miss,Washington State) and far-flung trips.This year, Idaho’s travel is still intense –but at least they have a conference homein the NCAA’s top division.

UI rejoined the Sun Belt Conferenceas a football-only member on July 1. Itwas part of the SBC from 2001 to 2004before jumping to the Western AthleticConference (which folded as a footballconference after the 2012 season).

The Sun Belt doesn’t provide Idahowith any geographic ties – the closestteam is New Mexico State, another newmember – but coach Paul Petrino seesplenty of other benefits.

“It’s big in recruiting, it’s big in havinga chance to play for a ring, having achance to win a league,” he said. “It’s bigmoney-wise, because now you getmoney from the league so now you don’thave to play as many money games.”

The QB shuffleSince Nathan Enderle graduated after the

2010 season, seven quarterbacks have startedfor Idaho. None has developed into the clear,long-term answer at the game’s most importantposition – at least not yet in the case of ChadChalich.

In 2011, it was Brian Reader and Taylor Davis.Dominique Blackman, Logan Bushnell and Davisstarted games in 2012. And last season, Chalich,Davis and Josh McCain split time throughinjuries.

Chalich is the only one who remains on theVandals’ roster as a QB, and he’s locked in atight battle with redshirt freshman Matt Linehan– son of former Idaho QB Scott Linehan.

Petrino said before camp that he’s fineplaying both signal-callers against Florida to thestart the season. Through the first twoscrimmages, Linehan has put up bigger (andslightly better) numbers than Chalich. He’s alsobeen more inclined to go through hisprogressions and find an open receiver insteadof attempting to run.

Unknowns at defensive backThe biggest question for the Idaho defense –

indeed one of the biggest questions for theteam – is in the defensive backfield.

The Vandals allowed 40 passing touchdownslast year, eight more than any other FBS team.They were especially susceptible to the deepball – 17 of opposing teams’ TDs through the airwent for at least 30 yards.

To shore things up, the Vandals brought in6-foot-2, 217-pound safety Chris Edwards, a JCtransfer who brings size and physicality to theUI secondary. He’ll be joined at safety bysophomore Jordan Grabski and emergingsophomore Russell Siavii.

UI has more depth at defensive back, whichshould allow it to play more nickel and dimepackages. In camp, versatile senior BradleyNjoku has lined up at cornerback, safety andnickelback on the inside.

Putting five or six DBs on the field is anecessity, defensive coordinator Ronnie Leesaid, because of the league’s spread offenses.

“A lot of the teams in our league now aregoing to one back and four wideouts or no

backs and five wideouts,” Lee said. “So you’vegot to have more DBs on the field.”

Idaho is still undersized at cornerback. Likelystarters Jayshawn Jordan and Delency Parhamare 5-9 and 5-11, respectively. The team’s tallestcorner, 6-2 Desmond Banks, is expected toredshirt after offseason shoulder surgery.

Stocked defensive lineBefore Dezmon Epps was dismissed and

Kenny Torrence, a JC signee, didn’t make it toMoscow, wide receiver figured to be Idaho’sstrongest position. But now that mantleprobably belongs to the defensive line.

With the mid-camp arrival of prized recruitAlfonso Hampton – a space-eating 346-poundnose tackle – the Vandals have four interiordefensive linemen with skill and size. And theyhave depth on the edge, with Maxx Forde,Quinton Bradley, Marius Burgsmueller, AnthonyRice and Zach Cable.

The more Hampton, Quayshawne Buckleyand others inside can make a push, the moreeffective the Vandals’ pass rushers will be – andthe more room Idaho’s linebackers, led by IrvingSteele and Marc Millan, will have to run free andmake tackles.

“If a guy like Alfonso can push the twoguards up the field, then the quarterback has nochance,” Bradley said. “We’re all speed rushers,so us getting up the field and the quarterbackalready having to back up, he’s going to gethurt.”

Late in the evening, the offensive anddefensive staffs split up to parse everydetail from that day’s practice orpractices and prep for the next day’smeetings with players.

Practice and game “tape” is now alldigital, and it’s available in quantitiesthat coaches from another era couldscarcely imagine.

“They didn’t video practice back inthe day and we video practice and staytill midnight getting it graded andmaking corrections and stuff,” Idahooffensive coordinator and offensive linecoach Kris Cinkovich said. “So that parthas made it more time-intensive.

“I’d like to think it’s made it for thebetter. I think football’s popular for areason.”

Petrino, a self-described footballjunkie, analyzes as much practice orgame film as he can partly because heknows opposing coaches are obsessingover it too. He and Bobby used to spendparts of their offseason examining twoor three NFL offenses at a time.

Their eye for detail and precision onthe football field came early, when theystarted charting tackles, breaking downtape and announcing defensivecoverages – anything they could do –for their dad.

“Bobby and (Paul) helped me a lot,”

Petrino Sr. said from his home inHelena. “They wanted to be coachesfrom Day One, although their dad triedto talk them out of it.”

Paul’s devotion to his craft hasn’tgone unnoticed. Cinkovich said the barhas been set that “nobody’s going towork harder than the head coach, andthat’s always a good thing because thatmeans everybody has to rise to it.”

That goes for the players, too.

“I believe so because we know thatthe coaching staff is here until probably1 or 2 o’clock in the morning watchingfilm and trying to get it ready for us,”senior defensive end Quinton Bradleysaid. “We try to do as much extra wecan in the time frames of our schedule.In fall camp, everything’s tight. So if wecan get some extra film or an extra littleworkout or an extra ice bath, it’s all forgood.”

Players and coaches are together 10months out of the year, or potentiallylonger for teams that reach a bowlgame. The only breaks for players comeafter the season and after the schoolyear when spring camp wraps up.

The winter weightlifting and summerworkouts can be draining. But only to apoint.

“It’s a strain, but if you love football,you’ll get through it,” Bradley said.“Because we all want to excel in this.We all want to do good, do great. So themore we can learn, the more we can putin our brain about football, the better.But I’m not gonna lie – it is a lot offootball.”

Regardless of the time he spends inhis second-floor office in the KibbieDome, Petrino will never considerhimself a harder worker than his father.As a small-school coach at CarrollCollege, Petrino Sr. met regularly withthe offense and the defense. He coachedpretty much every position. For sevenor eight years, he was also AD andbuilding coordinator.

Just as Idaho players and coachestake notice of Petrino’s work ethic, hetook notice of the time his father putinto coaching and making ends meet.

“That’s how you know,” he said.“That’s hopefully how you’re raised, soyou know that’s how you getsomewhere by working hard.”

No matter how the job changes.
