Game #12 - NCAA FCS Playoffs - Towson vs. Lehigh 4

2011 Tiger Football Game Notes QUOTING ROB AMBROSE On the Tigers NCAA FCS Playoff draw: Whether or not we got seeded isn t important to me. I m a first-year playoff coach and a neophyte at this level so I am just grateful that we are part of the playoffs. I think it s pretty cool that we get to play Lehigh. I have so much respect for their coach and that program. All I know is that we got a bye and a home game and two weeks to prepare for an opponent. That s what we wanted. To hear people on campus talking about a Division I playoff game at home is awesome. On being one of five CAA teams in the CAA playoffs: That type of recognition speaks to the quality of play in this league. We have great players and great coaches and great programs. I think there was a point this season where we had nine teams ranked in the Top 25. That is amazing. On the Tigers offensive line play: This is a great group. We have one senior and four sophomores. They work very hard and they are very strong players. But, most of all, they are all very intelligent. Their collective intelligence helps them execute effectively and it provides them with the opportunity to pick up newer schemes. On the Tigers dramatic turnaround: The only way to explain it is like this. It took a ridiculous amount of hard work and dedication by everyone involved - the players, the coaches, the support staff and the administration. At the same time, everyone has had fun doing it. When we started here three years ago, we knew we were playing in a league with some outstanding football programs that were wellestablished and we knew we had to catch up. We felt we had to do 15 years of work in a very short time. On quarterback Grant Enders: He is an incredibly efficient quarterback. As well as he understands the offense, he understands his teammates better. He came in here at the start of the pre-season and he completely integrated himself into the team. Grant is an excellent team leader and he is very strong. He has a quick release and he is very accurate. One of the most surprising things about him is that he is much faster than he looks. On freshman Terrance West being named to the Jerry Rice Watch List: Terrance is strong and elusive and he has the ability to make people miss. He has very good field vision and he is very hard to tackle. On the Tigers fourth-and-29 win at Old Dominion: You may not believe this but that play wasn t in our play book. We used our last time out and drew it up. We sent Tom Ryan to the sticks (first down) and sent the backside guy over. We don t usually sprint out but we did and Dominique Booker made a great block. It was a great throw and a great catch. Then, Leon Kinnard and Alex Blake did a good job getting a piece of someone. Tom was tremendous. I think he dragged one guy 12 yards into the end zone. If you ask around the league, Tom may be the least likely guy to score on a 63-yard touchdown catch. On the impact that large crowds have had at the Tigers home games: As an alum, I am just so proud to be a Towson Tiger when I see and hear all those students be so involved in our games. The pride that is developing across the student landscape is a marvel to watch. Our students change the energy level of a game with their passion and excitement. When one goes off to war, having someone behind you, believing in you, makes a world of difference in your focus. Our players flat out LOVE our students. On the experience of having President Barack Obama meet the Tiger football team: He seems like such a normal guy and he made it so easy for us. We were out on the basketball floor at halftime and everyone was cheering for us. The president was in the front row and he started clapping. Then, he came out towards us and all of our guys wanted to shake his hand and get their picture taken with him. For someone who deals with that kind of stuff all the time, he handled a bunch of football players really well. It was an experience none of us will ever forget and it was an exciting day for everyone involved. On facing Lehigh: All season long, I ve been saying the same thing when we played one nationally-ranked CAA team after another. I would just day same challenge, different uniform. That s how Lehigh looks to us. TIGERS VS. RANKED TEAMS:No. 6 Lehigh is the highestranked team that the Tigers have played this season...

Montana State participated in the Division II and FCS tournaments but after playing in such bowl games as the Harbor, Aluminum, Camellia and Grantland Rice bowls in its early history... Likewise, Western Kentucky (Division II and FCS) faced Coast Guard in the 1963 Tangerine Bowl. Towson made its first post-season appearance in the 1976 NCAA Division III playoffs, upsetting heavily favored C.W. Post 14-10 in the quarter-finals... In their only NCAA post-season home game, the Tigers outlasted St. Lawrence, 38-36... The Tigers lost to St. John s, 31-28, in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in Phenix City, Ala.

2011 Towson University Football Game Notes Sept. 3 - Tigers 42, Morgan State 3 TOWSON, Md. - Overcoming an early 3-0 deficit, the Tigers (1-0) put together their best offensive performance in five years as they opened their season with a 42-3 victory over local rival Morgan State before a crowd of 9,759 at Minnegan Field at Johnny Unitas Stadium. Making his first start as a Tiger, sophomore quarterback Grant Enders passed for 197 yards and three touchdowns. This was a great way for us to start off the season, said Coach Rob Ambrose. I am very happy for our players. They deserve all of the accolades tonight. After a 33-yard field goal by Morgan s Abraham Mercado, the Tigers responded with an efficient 69-yard, six-play drive for a touchdown. On the drive, Enders threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to fullback Tyler Wharton, the first touchdown reception of his career. Late in the second quarter, Enders capped off a 77-yard drive by throwing a 25-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Gerrard Sheppard. That gave the Tigers a 14-3 lead at halftime. In the third quarter, the Tigers took control of the game. Enders threw a 12-yard TD pass to Wharton to complete a 74-yard, 10-play drive and give Towson a 21-3 lead early in the third quarter. Less than a minute later, junior safety Jordan Dangerfield recovered a fumble at the Tigers 32-yard line. That led to an 18-yard touchdown run by Enders. In the final minute of the third quarter, sophomore Sterlin Phifer gave the Tigers a 35-3 lead when he scored on a two-yard run. In the fourth quarter, quarterback Peter Athens fired a ten-yard touchdown pass to Spencer Wilkins with 7:39 remaining in the game, giving the Tigers an insurmountable 42-3 lead. The Tigers rushed for 264 yards against Morgan while their 534 yards of total offense represented their highest total since they gained 627 yards in a win over Delaware in 2006.

I am incredibly proud of our players, said Towson Coach Rob Ambrose. For two years, I ve been saying that this is a project and it s a process. Beating Villanova is another block in our building process. It s a prettier block than most of them but it feels great. Villanova has been playing football for such a long time and has a great tradition. They won a national championship two years ago. So, being mentioned in the same breath with a program like Villanova fills us with a degree of respect. Booker gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead when he caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from Grant Enders. With one second left in the half, Terrance West scored on a two-yard run to give the Tigers a 14-0 lead. Midway through the third quarter, the Wildcats drove deep into Towson territory. But, Corey Ford recovered a fumble on the Tigers 27-yard line. The Tigers responded with a 73-yard, six-play drive that gave them a 21-0 lead when West scored on a four-yard TD run. With the Tigers leading by 21-0, Christian Culicerto threw a fiveyard TD pass to junior Kenny Miles, cutting the deficit to 21-7. A 36-yard field goal by D.J. Soven gave the Tigers a 24-7 edge before a 31-yard field goal by Mark Hamilton trimmed the lead to 24-10. On the ensuing kickoff, Derrick Joseph returned the ball 85 yards to the Wildcats 11-yard line. Two plays later, Booker scored his second TD of the game on a three-yard run that put the game out of reach. The Tigers, who rushed for 223 yards, also controlled the time of possession as they held the ball for more than 34 minutes.

2011 Towson University Football Game Notes Sept. 24 - Tigers 42, Colgate 17 TOWSON, Md. After spotting Colgate an early 3-0 lead, the Tigers got their offense in gear and scored 35 consecutive points on their way to a 42-17 Homecoming victory over the Raiders before a crowd of 9,919 at Minnegan Field at Johnny Unitas Stadium. The Tigers, who are 3-0 for the first time since 2006, earned their first win in ten meetings against Colgate. Freshman Terrance West led the Tigers by rushing for a career high 85 yards with three touchdowns. His two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter gave the Tigers a lead they never lost. Dominique Booker also ran for 71 yards on six attempts and scored on a 43-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Quarterback Grant Enders passed for 137 yards and had a 49-yard touchdown pass to fullback Tyler Wharton. He also scored on a one-yard run.

The Tigers forced three turnovers in the win as Alexander DiSanzo and Nick Oates intercepted passes while junior defensive tackle Matt Morgan recovered a fumble. Junior safety Jordan Dangerfield led the Tiger defense with 13 tackles while junior linebacker Danzel White had ten tackles. I knew that a 3-0 start was possible, said Coach Rob Ambrose. This is all part of a process. It s another brick in our building program and it s a prettier brick than many of them because it came against Colgate and it came in our Homecoming Game.

Facing Maryland for the first time, the Tigers battled the Terrapins on even terms for most of the game before Maryland capitalized on four second half turnovers to escape with a 28-3 victory over the Tigers before a crowd of 35,573 at Byrd Stadium. Although the Tigers dominated play for most of the first half, the Terrapins owned a 7-3 lead at intermission. Maryland scored on its opening possession but the Tigers defense held the Terps in check until halftime. In the second quarter, the Tigers had a pair of 16-play drives but only scored three points on a 23-yard field goal by D.J. Soven. In the second quarter, the Tigers controlled the ball for 11:50 while holding Maryland to six offensive plays. Early in the third quarter, an interception by Kenny Tate enabled Maryland to extend its lead to 14-3 when Justus Pickett scored on a five-yard run. Midway through the fourth quarter, Danny O Brien threw a seven-yard TD pass to Kevin Dorsey, giving the Terps a 21-3 advantage. Despite the fact that the Tigers had 378 yards of total offense and controlled the clock for more than 35 minutes, they couldn t pull off the upset. We left too many points on the field, lamented Coach Rob Ambrose. When you make as many mistakes as we did, you aren t going to beat a good team. We had too many turnovers, dropped too many passes and had too many penalties. After turning the ball over only three times in the first three games, the Tigers had four turnovers against Maryland. Sophomore Sterlin Phifer led the Tigers running game with a career high 75 yards on 12 carries as the Tigers ran for 161 yards. Sophomore quarterback Peter Athens, who started in place of an injured Grant Enders, completed 17 of 29 passes for 217 yards but threw a pair of interceptions. Junior wide receiver Tom Ryan matched his career high with seven receptions for a career best 103 yards. Junior linebacker Danzel White paced the Tigers defense with 15 tackles while junior safety Jordan Dangerfield made 13 tackles.

In a wild back-and-forth game that was tied twice in the fourth quarter, Soven s game-winning kick capped off a 54-yard, eight-play drive.

Junior Tom Ryan scored on a 63-yard touchdown pass on 4th down-and-29 from Grant Enders with 1:07 remaining as the No. 17 Tigers (5-1, 3-0) rallied from a 35-24 deficit in the final 3:13 to stun No. 18 Old Dominion (5-2, 2-2) by a 39-35 margin. With 3:13 left, Enders capped off a 75-yard, nine-play drive by scoring on an eight-yard run. When Leon Kinnard completed a two-point conversion pass to tight end Mike Evans, the Tigers trailed by 35-31. Sophomore kicker D.J. Soven, who kicked a 47-yard field goal in the second quarter, did a great job on the on-sides kick and junior Gerrard Sheppard recovered on the Tigers 45-yard line. After the Tigers reached the ODU 44-yard line, Enders was sacked for a nine-yard loss and had to leave the game. After Enders left the game, reserve Peter Athens was sacked on third down, creating a fourth-and-29 at the Towson 37-yard line. Coach Rob Ambrose used the final time out and sent Enders back into the game. He rolled to his right and fired the ball to Ryan near the ODU 35-yard line. Ryan made the catch in traffic, picked up two blocks and ran towards the end zone. He dragged two defenders into the end zone with him, putting the Tigers ahead. Linebacker Kenton Powell ended ODU s hopes when he intercepted a pass in the final minute. Enders completed 24 of 37 passes for a career high 314 yards and two touchdowns against Old Dominion. Freshman Terrance West led the Tigers with 148 rushing yards. He scored two touchdowns on a 47-yard run and a 54-yard run.

2011 Towson University Football Game Notes Oct. 22 - No. 15 Towson 38, No. 14 William & Mary 27 WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Freshman Terrance West ran for a game high 141 yards on 23 carries and scored three touchdowns to lead the Tigers (6-1, 4-0) to their fourth consecutive Colonial Athletic Association victory, a 38-27 win over William & Mary (4-4, 2-3). Facing the top-ranked defense in the CAA, the Tiger offense took control in the first half. The Tigers scored touchdowns on their first four possessions as West capped off long drives with short touchdown runs. Quarterback Grant Enders also hooked up with tight end James Oboh for a 31-yard touchdown pass two plays after an interception by Corey Ford gave the Tigers the ball at the Tribe 35-yard line. The Tigers, who owned a 28-17 lead at halftime, clinched the victory with two long drives in the second half. A three-yard TD pass from Enders to fullback Tyler Wharton with 4:06 remaining in the third quarter capped off an 88-yard, 14-play drive that consumed 7:44 of the third quarter. When the Tribe cut its deficit to 35-27 with 8:08 remaining, Enders led a 13-play, 75-yard drive that resulted in a 19-yard field goal by D.J. Soven with 2:04 remaining that gave the Tigers a 38-27 lead. An interception by linebacker Alexander DiSanzo at the Tigers three-yard line with 15 seconds left clinched the win. DiSanzo led the Tigers with ten tackles. While beating William & Mary for the first time in eight meetings, the Tigers ran for 224 yards on 41 attempts, the sixth time they topped the 200-yard mark.

2011 Towson University Football Game Notes Nov. 19 - No. 8 Towson 28, Rhode Island 17 KINGSTON, R.I. Sophomore quarterback Grant Enders completed 20 of 26 passes for 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Tigers (9-2, 7-1) clinched their first Colonial Athletic Association championship with a 28-17 come-from-behind victory over Rhode Island (3-8, 2-6) at Meade Stadium in the regular season finale for both teams. The Tigers victory capped their dramatic turnaround as they won the CAA title just one year after after going winless in the CAA. The Turnaround Tigers, who entered the season with 26 losses in their last 28 CAA games, were picked to finish last in the CAA in the preseason poll. After the upset-minded Rams took a 10-0 first quarter lead, the Tigers scored twice in the second quarter to take a 14-10 halftime advantage. Freshman Terrance West capped off a 67-yard drive by scoring on a three-yard touchdown run to make it 10-7. With 1:53 left in the half, West s ten-yard TD run put the Tigers ahead to stay. On the opening drive of the second half, Enders fired a 21-yard touchdown pass to junior Tom Ryan, giving the Tigers a 21-10 lead. After the Rams cut their deficit to 21-17 on a six-yard touchdown run by defensive tackle Willie McGinist. From that point on, the Tiger defense took over. An interception by senior Nick Oates stopped one drive. In the fourth quarter, the Tiger defense pinned the Rams back inside their own ten-yard line. After a short punt, the Tigers had a first down at the URI 41-yard line. Five plays later, Enders fired an 18-yard touchdown pass to Ryan, giving the Tigers a 28-17 lead. With 4:25 left in the fame, Rob Osborne stopped Bob Bentsen on fourth down-and-one at the URI 39-yard line. The Tigers took over on downs and ran out the clock, touching off a wild celebration. The victory was the Tigers third in a row and fourth consecutive road win. The win also clinched the Tigers first-ever NCAA FCS playoff berth as they earned the CAA automatic qualifier.

So when Dangerfield's school, Hofstra University, unexpectedly dropped its football program in 2009, the young safety was faced with a most difficult task. He had to find his way without his dad, who had passed away four months earlier. "It was very emotional, because going through the whole recruiting process in high school I had my father," Dangerfield said. "It was a big adjustment. It was coming to a new school and starting all over again." Get the Baltimore Football app for iphone and Android The series of events led Dangerfield an all-state prep player out of Florida who had been recruited by the likes of Louisville, Syracuse and Colorado State to Towson University last fall. A year ago, he led the Tigers with 96 tackles, and ranked second among Colonial Athletic Association defensive backs in tackles per game.

Related David Dangerfield had been a firefighter and community leader in Elmont, N.Y., known to many locals as "Papa D," before moving his family to Florida in 2005. He was one of the first responders to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, and was active in the playing careers of Jordan and his three brothers including younger brother Jared, a wide receiver who spent part of his freshman year at Towson before transferring to a junior college in Kansas. He succumbed to a heart attack at the age of 51, just six days before Jordan was scheduled to begin his football career at Hofstra. Latest updates...

Dangerfield had just completed his freshman season when he and 83 of his teammates received a text message one December morning. It read: "Urgent: team meeting @ 10 in the Pride Lounge." For players, the news was the worst. Hofstra's board of trustees had voted to shutter the 72-year-old program, citing high costs and a perceived lack of interest among fans.

"I knew a couple guys on staff at Hofstra, and they gave me some skinny on who they had vs. who we needed vs. how many scholarships we had at the time." Dangerfield, looking for the chance to play right away, was soon headed to Towson. To Ambrose, the safety's physical style of play fit perfectly with the blueprint of an upstart program trying to make its mark in the competitive CAA. "He loves contact," Ambrose said. "He can play the pass as good as anybody else in the country, but he loves contact. He's not a finesse safety."

The Tigers are 3-29 against conference foes since 2007, and this year must face five CAA opponents ranked among the top 16 in the Football Championship Subdivision, according to The Sports Network's preseason poll. Grant Enders (Old Mill), a sophomore who threw for 2,098 yards and ran for another 225 last season at Lackawanna College, will begin the year as starting quarterback, after beating out junior Brian Potts and redshirt sophomore Peter Athens during the preseason. He will attempt to inject some excitement into an offense that last year ranked 109th out of 117 FCS teams in scoring, and will get some help with the return of four starters on the offensive line. The team also boasts an impressive stable of running backs, led by junior Tremayne Dameron, who has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his first two seasons, and a pair of major college transfers in sophomore Sterlin Phifer (Boston College) and redshirt freshman Trea Jones (Colorado). Eight starters return on defense, led by preseason All-CAA defensive end Frank Beltre and junior safety Jordan Dangerfield (team-leading 96 tackles). Junior linebacker Danzel White, who led the team in tackles in 2009, returns after sitting out last season. Towson has been picked to finish last in the 11-team CAA in a preseason poll of coaches and sports information directors. The schedule also includes an Oct. 1 date at Maryland and seasonopening rivalry game against Morgan State. Copyright 2011, The Baltimore Sun

http://www2.insidenova.com/member-center/share-this/print/?content=ar1321778 Page 2 of 3 9/28/2011 Before this season White, a graduate of C.D. Hylton High School, was voted as a team captain for the 2011 season even though he is a junior. On top of that White, who is from Manassas, did not even play for the Tigers last season. It is quite a thrill. I am honored to be chosen to lead, White said in a telephone interview. He is a vocal leader who can play both inside and outside linebacker. He said since he did not complete the spring semester of 2010 he was not eligible academically to play for Towson last fall. Now the team is glad to have him back. Danzel is really the glue that keeps the front and back together, said Rob Ambrose, the head coach for Towson. He is thoroughly respected on both sides of the ball by our team. He is incredibly hungry and that shows every time he plays. He plays hard. He has embraced carpe diem. And so have the Tigers. After going 1-10 overall last year, with a 0-8 record in the tough Colonial Athletic Association, Towson improved to 2-0 with a 31-10 win at home Sept. 10 at Johnny Unitas Stadium in suburban Baltimore over Villanova in CAA play. At the time the Wildcats, who won the Division I-AA national title in 2009, were ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation. It was a big win for us, said White, who had two tackles against the Wildcats. Basically it was a performance that started up front with our defensive line. Towson began the year with a win over Morgan State in non-league play. Even though he did not play last year White attended practice and helped out during games. It was hard to watch and not be able to play, said White, who has one more year of eligibility after this season. I really missed it. On Saturdays I was on the sidelines and helping with (defensive) calls. The hardest thing was not to play physically. I felt I could have contributed, he added. And now this year he is. There is excitement on campus, Ambrose said. Have we arrived? Not in this league. One win does not a season make. The CAA has produced five national champions since 1998 and league member Delaware advanced to the national title game last year. The Tigers host Richmond, the 2008 national champ, on Oct. 8. Coming out of high school White also looked at James Madison, Temple, Maryland and Virginia Tech. Towson was the first to offer, said White, who committed to the Tigers before his senior season. White, listed at 6-foot-1, 235 pounds, has started the first two games for Towson and has five tackles. White, in 2009, was a starter in nine of 10 games for Towson and led the Tigers with 105 tackles. He had a career-high 16 tackles and recovered a fumble against Richmond, ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time. He also had 11 tackles against Villanova before leaving the game with an injury and he missed the season-finale against JMU due to a knee injury.

http://www2.insidenova.com/member-center/share-this/print/?content=ar1321778 Page 3 of 3 9/28/2011 White, 21, was an all-district an all-region linebacker for the Bulldogs at Hylton and led the team in tackles as a junior and senior under head coach Lou Sorrentino, who was named the Mountain View head coach in 2010. White, in 2007, had 78 tackles, including 40 solos for Hylton. He led the Bulldogs to a record of 8-2 as a junior and he also competed in track and field at the school. White, born in Florida, is the son of Jesse and Michelle White. He was a redshirt at Towson in 2008. Towson was off this past Saturday and will host Colgate in its homecoming game Sept. 24. The Tigers are 0-9 lifetime against Colgate. Towson will then play at the University of Maryland on Oct. 1 and it will be the first meeting between the two schools. It will be a great experience for us, White said of facing the Terps, who lost at home on Saturday to West Virginia. InsideNova Copyright 2011 Media General Communications Holdings, LLC.

A year ago, Ambrose could see the foundation for the school's first victory over a ranked opponent since 2007. A dropped pass in the back of the end zone prevented Towson from beating a No. 5 James Madison team that had crushed the Tigers by five touchdowns the year before. His players could see it coming together in January, when Ambrose split the team up in a program they called "Tiger Accountability" to compete in everything from classroom attendance and performance to clearing their trays in the dining hall and keeping their locker room clean. But those who weren't with Ambrose and his players couldn't fathom how it happened. Not after the Tigers had won two games in 2009, Ambrose's first season back at his alma mater, and only one in his second. If anything, it had looked after last season as if Towson were returning to the abyss. "To the normal eye, it looks like nothing is getting done," Ambrose, 41, said in his office earlier this week. "It's like building a house. When there's the foundation and everything's not finished, it just looks like a mess." Ambrose knew better, and now with a pair of one-sided victories over Morgan State (42-3) and Villanova (31-10), the Tigers will try to take another significant step in their turnaround when they play Colgate (1-2) in Saturday's 7 p.m. homecoming game. "There's no question that this is a huge game," Ambrose said of a game against a school Towson has never beaten in nine tries, the most recent in 2007. "You have alums who are hungry for an excuse to come home, and now they have one." With the school's first game against Maryland looming next Saturday in College Park, Ambrose knows

Page 2 of 4 9/24/2011 how important it is to keep the good vibes building, the fan interest growing, the confidence of his players bubbling. So does longtime assistant coach John Donatelli, now in his 15th season. As much as Ambrose saw the stops and starts the program had under former coach Gordy Combs, Donatelli was a part of it as a member of the coaching staff. "It was always taking one step forward, two steps back," Donatelli said. A former Towson player and assistant under Combs, Ambrose understood why the Tigers couldn't sustain that success against the likes of Delaware and James Madison. Ambrose, who was the former offensive coordinator under Randy Edsall at Connecticut, knew how various administrations debated about playing with or without scholarships. It all came back to the players. "We did a lot of things not to take care of our kids," Ambrose said. Aside from not being given as many scholarships as the competition until finally becoming fully funded with 63 scholarships five years ago, Ambrose and others say Towson took shortcuts such as not paying for its players' books, as allowed under NCAA rules. Schools such as James Madison, which started its football program the same year as Towson, did not and wound up winning a national championship. Donatelli said the best example came in the way the Tigers fed players on road trips. If Towson was playing a night game on the road, the pre-game meal was not exactly a source for energy. "Apples and Snickers bars," Donatelli said. That culture has finally changed, with former president Robert Caret the first to understand how important the football program was to the growth of the university, but also realizing that the Tigers needed more of a tough-love approach than Combs was willing to give. "Rob has changed everything, from expectations to accountability to changing the way we think, we act, we dress, we talk and we treat each other," Donatelli said. "It has taken two years to begin to get it done. Everyone associated with the program understands it's about the little things on a daily basis. It's about the details." It hasn't been easy. Trying to have players buy into a program that demands respect and accountability is difficult when they have nothing to show for it, when the record is getting worse instead of better. "If you're going to change the culture, you're going to have to break some stuff and we're doing it now," Ambrose said. "When we looked at film from last season, we could have won seven of the games we lost if we had done some of the little things." A significant change among the players took place last winter when they broke into seven teams for Tiger Accountability. The program had been implemented shortly after Ambrose arrived, "but it took them until that time for them to actually see what it meant," Ambrose said, adding that he could always tell by looking at the faces of his players "to see who gets the message and who truly doesn't."

Page 3 of 4 9/24/2011 Senior defensive tackle Marcus Valentine, whose "Roc Boyz" team won the competition and got to eat dinner with Ambrose, said last winter's Tiger Accountability was the turning point. The victory over Morgan State was expected, the more impressive win over Villanova was not. "Us beating Villanova just put the cap on it and made us work even harder," he said. Donatelli said he could see the difference in practice when a walk-on, whom he declined to name, was moving faster and playing with more purpose than he had before. "That game and the Morgan game validated our concepts and what we're teaching them. Instead of it being a total grind, and having the kids say, 'My god, these guys don't let anything go, there's no wiggle room.' Now they're saying, 'Boy, this is worth it,' " Donatelli said. As Ambrose gets his team ready for Saturday's game, there's talk in the locker room of winning enough games to make the FCS playoffs and there's talk on campus of having the biggest crowd ever at Johnny Unitas Stadium. Ambrose thinks about the house he is building, how the frame is now up and a light can be seen shining from the inside. "This is by no means a finished product," he said. But after two games, it looks like it's no longer a mess. don.markus@baltsun.com Saturday's game Colgate (1-2, 0-1 in the Patriot League) @ Towson (2-0, 1-0 in CAA) Time: 7 p.m. Site: Johnny Unitas Stadium Radio: WNST (1570-AM) Series: Colgate leads 9-0 What's at stake: Towson is looking to start 3-0 and equal its win total for the first two years under Rob Ambrose.

However, the South River High graduate suddenly found himself looking at three years as the backup quarterback. Enter Keywords Select Advertiser Select Category Click ad below for more information Cooper transferred to Division II Shepherd and has emerged as the starter this season. The Davidsonville resident has been outstanding, completing 67 percent of his passes and compiling a superb 171.3 efficiency rating while leading the Rams to a 4-0 record and No. 4 national ranking. "I'm definitely happy with my decision to come here. Shepherd has been a great fit in a lot of ways," Cooper said. "I like the offense, I like the coaching staff and this is a great program that has a chance to win a national championship." It has been a similar story for Enders, who spent his redshirt freshman season at Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. The Old Mill High graduate never felt comfortable with the size of the school or the distance from home so he explored other options. Enders spent a year at Lackawanna Community College before landing at Towson University this season and quickly earned the starting job. The Millersville resident has been superb so far, completing 73.3 percent of passes and compiling a 167.9 efficiency rating in leading the Tigers to a 3-0 mark and No. 23 national ranking in the latest FCS poll. "It seems surreal to think how fast things have happened since I left high school. It seems like just yesterday that I was deciding on Holy Cross," Enders said. "My case definitely shows there are options out there for everyone and you can achieve whatever you want as long as you keep working hard on and off the field and find the right situation." Enders jump-started his career as the starter at Lackawanna, a perennial junior college powerhouse located in Pennsylvania. The former first-team All-County selection by Capital-Gazette Communications led Lackawanna to a 9-2 record and berth in the Graphics Edge Bowl while being named All-Northeastern Conference.

Page 2 of 4 9/28/2011 Third-year Towson head coach Rob Ambrose visited Lackawanna to scout for talent and was wowed by the quarterback he saw on tape. "I was like, 'Who the heck is this kid.' He looks great!" Ambrose recalled thinking. "It turns out Grant was on the recruiting list I inherited when I walked in the door three years ago and just got lost in the shuffle." Ambrose was concerned about Towson's quarterback situation since 2010 starter Chris Hart was suspended and subsequently left school and none of the returning candidates had much experience. "Grant fit the profile. He was a Maryland kid who always wanted to be at Towson and had gained some experience and maturity by redshirting at Holy Cross and playing a year at Lackawanna," Ambrose said. Enders learned Towson's offense well enough during preseason camp to make the coaching staff feel comfortable naming him starter. "Grant is a real student of the game. It's really amazing how fast he's been able to pick up the playbook," Ambrose said. Enders credits quarterbacks coach Jared Ambrose, the head coach's younger brother, with teaching him how to read defenses and pass coverages. The 6-foot-3, 212-pound sophomore also appreciates the many teammates who took him under their wing.

"Coming in, nobody knew who I was and I had to earn the respect of my teammates. But I already feel like a part of the family and that has made me more comfortable with being vocal out on the field." Enders completed 15 of 19 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in the season opener against Morgan State. He also ran for 47 yards and a touchdown on six carries en route to being named Colonial Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Week. For the season, Enders has completed 44 of 60 passes for 527 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for 137 yards and two touchdowns on 18 attempts. "Grant has been very efficient running the offense. He is a very intelligent quarterback who does a great job of managing the game," Rob Ambrose said. "Grant distributes the ball well and he has protected the ball well. He hasn't made many mistakes." Enders is looking forward to leading undefeated Towson into Byrd Stadium this Saturday to take on Maryland in what ranks as the biggest game in recent program history. An upset of the heavily favored Terrapins would signal the Tigers are clearly headed in the right direction under Ambrose. "This will be a big challenge for us, but we are ready and excited for it. This is an opportunity to show what Towson football is all about," said Enders, who grew up rooting for Maryland football. "A win at Maryland would be great for our program. I think everyone from our team, coaches, student body and alumni would love nothing more than to beat the big state school." Cooper took a leap of faith by signing with Old Dominion, which was just starting an FCS football program at the time. Old Dominion redshirted all of its recruits in 2008 and Cooper was the starting quarterback as the team practiced that entire season. However, things changed when the coaching staff brought in Thomas DeMarco from College of the Desert and pretty much handed the JuCo transfer the starting job. Cooper backed up DeMarco in 2009, but was not willing to do the same for two more seasons.

The 6-foot-4, 218-pounder was ready to step in and perform this season and has already passed for 985 yards and eight touchdowns through four games. "Bobby has been very sharp and done an outstanding job of operating our offense. We ask him to make decisions quickly and he's only had a few mental lapses each game," Shepherd quarterbacks coach Joel Gordon said. "Bobby is an intelligent quarterback who does a nice job of reading defenses and making checks. He has a lot of natural ability and a great feel for the game."

Page 1 of 2 9/30/2011 For Towson's Ambrose, it's all about accountability By: Kevin Dunleavy 09/29/11 8:05 PM Examiner Staff Writer Follow On Twitter @Kdunleavy Tigers coach is a lot like his old boss, Terps' Edsall Rob Ambrose served under Randy Edsall at Connecticut for seven years. But that's not why he instilled the same old-school discipline at Towson that his former boss brought to Maryland. Ambrose's ideals were formed long before. "In my house you did things the right way," Ambrose said. "Randy and I probably came from similar households. I would think we were raised similarly with sports as the backdrop." Ambrose grew up on a farm in Frederick County. The family business was cattle. His father, Tim, is a legendary former football coach at Middletown High. His mother, Janice, is a Frederick County judge. Josh Gibney/AP Towson coach Rob Ambrose was an assistant under Maryland coach Randy Edsall for seven years at Connecticut. UP NEXT Towson at Maryland When» Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Where» Byrd Stadium TV» CSN Radio» 980 AM Maryland (1-2) in a meeting of mentor and disciple. "I believe in doing it the right way, and I believe in justice," Ambrose said. "Follow the rules, accountability and teamwork, us not me." Those are the principles the third-year coach has instilled at Towson (3-0) of the FCS, which is off to its best start since 2006. On Saturday afternoon, Ambrose, the former offensive coordinator at UConn, brings the Tigers to "He's gone through the pains and tribulations of putting a program together there at Towson, trying to instill all the things that he wants his program to be," Edsall said. "Now you see this year they're starting to reap the benefits of the hard work." Transition to the ways of Ambrose was at times difficult for the Tigers, who went 3-19 in his first two seasons.

For Towson's Ambrose, it's all about accountability Kevin Dunleavy Sports Washingt... http://washingtonexaminer.com/sports/2011/09/towsons-ambrose-its-all-about-accountabil... Page 2 of 2 9/30/2011 "When he first got here, we were like, 'Man what's going on. He's trying to kill us,'?" said guard Randall Harris, a graduate of DuVal High in Lanham. "He's very strict on rules, academics, working out in the weight room. We can see he had a plan the whole time." On-field evidence of Towson's turnaround began last season when the Tigers nearly upset James Madison 17-13. This offseason, Ambrose mentioned a word he had been careful never to use at Towson -- win. So far, the Tigers have done that in dramatic fashion. After losing to Colonial Athletic Association power Villanova by a combined 92-14 in Ambrose's first two seasons, Towson throttled the Wildcats 31-10 as quarterback Grant Enders completed 19 of 26 passes for 193 yards. Last week, the Tigers not only beat Colgate for the first time in 10 tries, they did so 42-17 as freshman Terrence West carried 13 times for 85 yards and three touchdowns. "With all the hard work we put into it, I'm not surprised at all," said offensive tackle Eric Pike, also a DuVal grad. "We couldn't wait for this season to start." Ambrose, a former wide receiver at Towson, knows it won't be easy for the Tigers on Saturday. He illustrated the challenge in terms of scholarships. "Maryland's got 85. We've got 63," Ambrose said. "If any of my guys get hurt, I'm in trouble for conference play. And from Randy's standpoint, if they don't beat us by 100 points, it looks like a loss." kdunleavy@washingtonexaminer.com URL: http://washingtonexaminer.com/sports/2011/09/towsons-ambrose-its-all-about-accountability

After a few detours, Towson's West finding his way - baltimoresun.com http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-towson-football-west-0928-20... Page 1 of 2 9/30/2011 www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-towson-football-west-0928-20110926,0,5991155.story baltimoresun.com After a few detours, Towson's West finding his way Freshman from Northwestern High has 5 TDs for 3-0 Tigers By Don Markus, The Baltimore Sun 9:53 AM EDT, September 29, 2011 Rob Ambrose wasn't sure what to make of Terrance West when the freshman tailback first arrived at Towson last January, and he still wasn't sure what to do with West when the Tigers began their season earlier this month. advertisement Even during the season opener against Morgan State, the coach's indecision about redshirting West lingered. West, who had spent a year at Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia after graduating from Northwestern High School in 2009, dressed for the game but remained on the sideline throughout a 42-3 victory. It was not just because the Tigers had depth and experience in the backfield. According to Ambrose, it was a question of "whether he was mature enough to handle it." Some of those concerns remain, as evidenced by what Ambrose said last Saturday night when West rushed for 85 yards on 13 carries and scored three touchdowns in Towson's 42-17 win over Colgate at Johnny Unitas Stadium. He was named the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Week. "When he's good, he's phenomenal, and I mean that in every aspect of his life," Ambrose said as West sat next to him during a postgame news conference. "When he's bad, he's impressive, and I mean that in every possible aspect of his life." So far, West has been phenomenally good, and has played a significant role in Towson starting the season 3-0 for the first time since the Tigers won their first four games in 2006. While West has scored five touchdowns in his first two college games he had two in an upset of Villanova, then ranked 20th in the Football Championship Subdivision, on Sept. 10 his role in this Saturday's game at Maryland is still up in the air. "I just go out there and do my thing," West said after the Colgate game. "It doesn't matter if I start or not, second string or third. When I get on the field, I just do my part." Even if he doesn't make the depth chart, as has happened the first two games, West can't wait for a chance to play the Terps. Through his junior year in high school, West thought he would wind up playing in College Park. But low SAT scores derailed those plans. He wound up at Fork Union, getting up every day at 5 a.m. and moving far away from his mother, grandparents and 3-year-old son. ""Football season, it was cool, but after football season, it was straight military. Everything was clockwork. It was tough," West said. "I learned a lot of discipline there.i adjusted to the program. It was good." He also forged a friendship with David Mackall, the former Edmondson star who is now starting at defensive end for Maryland. West said that his common bond with Mackall helped him "That's how I got through," West said but it became difficult when Mackall left after one semester and headed to Maryland. West thought he would be joining Mackall, but after former Terps coach Ralph Friedgen was fired in December, West never heard from new coach Randy Edsall. When mention was made Saturday about Towson's next game being at Byrd Stadium marking the first time the two schools will play a smile lit up on West's face. "I feel I owe them something," he said without a trace of bitterness. "This is a big step right here. This is a big stage." Northwestern coach Eric Woodson believes his former star is ready for that stage. Despite rushing for more than 5,000 yards in high school, West was overshadowed by Dunbar's Tavon Austin, now at West Virginia. Woodson said that had more to do with the reputations of the programs rather than the talents of the players.

After a few detours, Towson's West finding his way - baltimoresun.com http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-towson-football-west-0928-20... Page 2 of 2 9/30/2011 "He is definitely a big Division I [Football Bowl Subdivision] player," said Woodson, whose first season at Northwestern coincided with West's freshman year. "He had something special about him, even as a ninth-grader, he was the first one on the field and the last one off. West worked his butt off." Woodson said that West was upset and confused when Friedgen was fired, asking his former coach, "What am I going to do?" After coming home from Fork Union, West went to work in a local mall. Woodson said he told West, "It's not where you start, it's where you finish, and if you're good enough they're going to find you. I told him that 'if Dave Meggett could come out of Towson, you can come out of Towson.' If he doesn't get hurt, you'll probably see West in the NFL. He's that kind of a stud." Ambrose agrees, comparing West to Meggett, a former Towson teammate, as well as other great running backs he coached, including Tony Vinson at Towson as well Donald Brown and Terry Cauley at Connecticut. "He's got scary talent," Ambrose said. "When he's focused, he's as good as I've ever seen." That carries off the field as well. ""He knows that one day he will stop playing football and he needs this degree," Ambrose said. "He works as hard in the classroom as he does in the weight room. He's got a tremendous academic work ethic. That's something exciting because he knows he came from not having one." But Ambrose saw during spring practice that West's focus wasn't always there. Even this week, Ambrose was worried that the attention West has received is a distraction. "Because he's so young, his mental commitment to the game has been inconsistent," Ambrose said. Initially viewed to be a short-yardage back because of his powerful build he is 5 feet 11 and 220 pounds West has proven to be more than that. His first four touchdowns came when the Tigers had the ball near the goal line, but his last one was a 22-yarder on fourth-and-2 in the fourth quarter against Colgate. "If I go through all the guys I've coached or played with who went to the NFL, Terrance is unlike any other," Ambrose said. "He's an incredibly strong back. He has the ability to be both physical and elusive. I believe he has the skill set [to play in the NFL], but he's got a lot to do between now and then." don.markus@baltsun.com Text NEWS to 70701 to get Baltimore Sun local news text alerts Copyright 2011, The Baltimore Sun

RECENT POSTS Choose... CATEGORIES Select a topic... ARCHIVES Choose... ADD THIS BLOG RSS Search «Red Sox offseason soap opera a real eye-opener Main Don't look now: Towson's good ADVERTISEMENT Amid the turmoil this season at Maryland and obscured by Navy's longest losing streak in nine years, there is a wonderful college football story developing right in front of our eyes. Not that anyone outside the Towson University campus has noticed. Or that Rob Ambrose is paying attention to the lack of attention for his team, which won three games in his first two seasons but is now 5-1 and ranked 15th going into Saturday's game at No., 14 William & Mary. "I'm not involved in that. I'm involved with my kids," Ambrose said today. "I come to work when it's dark and I leave when it's dark and there's not a lot of media I'm involved in." In terms of college football, most of the media attention in the state has been directed at firstyear Maryland coach Randy Edsall, Ambrose's former boss at Connecticut. Much of it hasn't been too pleasant, with the suspensions of two starting wide receivers, the benching of quarterback Danny O'Brien and the possibility of a 2-5 record should the Terps lose at Florida State Saturday. Some of the attention has been directed toward Navy, where the Midshipmen will try to break a four-game losing streak when they play East Carolina in Annapolis Saturday before going on the road next week to Notre Dame. Suddenly, Navy's eight-year run of winning records and bowl appearances is in serious jeopardy. So it's somewhat understandable that Towson, coming off a one-win season in 2010, has fallen under the radar, especially in a region where even Maryland and Navy are completely overshadowed by the Ravens to the north and the Redskins to the south. So Ambrose, who played at Towson in the late 1980s and was an assistant there before going to Connecticut, isn't really surprised. "It's what you're used to, and this town might be used to us not producing anything of note or anything exciting," he said. That is no longer the case. The Tigers got a little attention when they beat then No. 20 Villanova to go 2-0 and got some respect for playing Maryland tough in the first half of what turned out to be a 28-3 defeat without starting quarterback Grant Enders. But what Towson has done the past two weeks -- coming from behind to beat Richmond on a last-second field goal and then coming from two touchdowns down in the last few minutes to win at Old Dominion last week -- has put the Tigers in position to claim their first berth in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs since leaving Division II in 1987. Ambrose said that he isn't all that shocked by a turnaround that could be the most dramatic of any level of college football in the country. He said that he told people before the season began that if the Tigers stayed healthy, they could win a lot of games this seasons.

"This is where the historical programs have an advantage because their years of quality depth build up.we're trying to break through."

ADVERTISEMENT That will create a different problem, one that neither Ambrose or anyone else at Towson faced the last few years. "I don't know how they plan to feed everyone because the campus closes down," Ambrose said. "But we're not going to get ahead of ourselves." Nor does he expect a very large bandwagon suddenly arriving at Johnny Unitas Stadium anytime soon. But who knows, if the Tigers keep winning? A terrific story will get even better.

Enter your email address Keep me posted! The last time Towson University's football team was anywhere near this good, David Kosak was a sophomore there. "I was there rooting them along when they weren't doing well," Kosak said. Five years later, the 2009 Towson graduate is the president of the Greater Towson Council of Community Associations and the Tigers, picked last in their conference in virtually every pre-season poll, are nationally ranked with a 5-1 record. Towson is No. 17 in the latest Football Championship Subdivision coaches poll. The games now include fireworks, flashy videos and some of the largest crowds the program has ever seen. Not long ago, residents may have complained about the noise, music and lights from Johnny Unitas Stadium. But with the new-look Tigers on the football field and new blood in some administrative positions, the university has only received one complaint. "Usually, when I let neighbors know how good our team is doing and that we're undefeated, they say that's great," said Marina Cooper, a university spokeswoman. "I think I'm not getting as many complaints as I could be getting." It's entirely possible that some neighbors aren't complaining because they're actually at the game. Attendance this year is on a record pace. Towson reported an average attendance of over 9,000 for its first three home games. And at one recent game, interim university president Marcia Welsh invited a group of community leaders to her suite below the press box. "When she came in, she did so much by bringing the community into a football game, because I don't think a lot of the residential community leaders have ever experienced the football team," said Nancy Hafford, executive director of the Towson Chamber of Commerce. "They got see it wasn't a wild, out of control, terrible thing." Meanwhile, under new athletic director Mike Waddell, Towson revamped its marketing efforts, multimedia and community outreach. Jennifer Helfrich, president of the Rodgers Forge Community Association, said residents have recieved discounted game tickets. Rob Ambrose, Towson's third-year head coach and a Rodgers Forge resident, sees the impact every day, from dining in a restaurant where Wednesday night, an alumnus stopped to thank him to the grocery store. "It used to be you'd go into the Giant (supermarket) and you'd see stuff from the University of Maryland and now you see Towson stuff, and instead of going into Target and seeing University of Maryland gear you see Towson gear," said Ambrose, a 1993 Towson alumnus. "Towson is finally becoming the Towson that everybody knew it could be."

Community Rallies Around Resurgent Towson Tigers - Towson, MD Patch http://towson.patch.com/articles/community-rallies-around-resurgent-tigers Page 2 of 3 10/22/2011 But the field is where the real magic is happening. Towson downed recent national champions Villanova and Richmond and pulled off convincing victories against Morgan State and Colgate in putting together its first 5-1 start since 1992 and first 3-0 start in the perennially tough Colonial Athletic Association. The Tigers' only loss came at Maryland, where they held the Terps to just one first-half touchdown. For some perspective, in the Tigers' first two years under Ambrose, they won only three games, and none in the conference. The Tigers' charge is led by players such as sophomore quarterback Grant Enders (Old Mill) and freshman running back Terrance West (Northwestern), both making regular appearances among weekly conference honorees. If you told Ambrose at this time last year where Towson would be this season, he'd be pleasantly surprised. "There was a change that happened at the end of last year with our team," he said. "Starting in January, our kids started to prepare to win games for the first time in two years. The commitment by the kids and the staff has been amazing." The end result is a team that Kosak said the community can be proud of again. "The fact that they wear the name Towson on their jersey allows them to be an ambassador for the place where they all live," he said. "As a community leader, it's something that can bring people together and it's something that can get people excited about Towson." The Tigers next play Saturday at William and Mary. The game starts 3:30 p.m., and you can listen to it on WNST-AM 1570. Their next home game is against Delaware at 7 p.m., Oct. 29.

Towson football the best sports story in Maryland -- baltimoresun.com http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-cowherd-towson-1026-20111... Page 1 of 3 10/26/2011 www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-cowherd-towson-1026-20111026,0,5541666.column baltimoresun.com Towson football the best sports story in Maryland Ambrose has 6-1 Tigers primed for Saturday night showdown vs. Delaware Kevin Cowherd 7:09 PM EDT, October 26, 2011 Go ahead, find me a better comeback story than the one Towson University's football team is writing this fall. advertisement Think about it: this is a team that went 1-10 last season. A team with a grand total of two wins the year before. A team picked to finish last in the Colonial Athletic Association. A team that had lost 26 of 28 conference games going into this year. Now the Tigers are 6-1 and ranked 13th in the nation among FCS teams. It's their best start since 1987. In fact, they're the most improved team in Division I FBS or FCS. And now they're anticipating a sell-out crowd at 11,000-seat Johnny Unitas Stadium on Saturday night for the Delaware game. Imagine that: a full house at Unitas Stadium, a place where crowds were often so sparse you thought you were at a tractor-pull. Maybe you have to know how downtrodden the football program was to truly appreciate this roll the Tigers are on. The comeback story begins with the coach, Rob Ambrose. When he left as offensive coordinator at Connecticut three years ago to coach his alma mater, he was appalled at what he found. In some ways, the football team seemed almost like an after-thought. There were no organized weight -lifting programs. No nutritional program, either. For pre-game meals on the road, the Tigers dined on apples and Snickers bars. Worse, there was a huge chasm between the athletic and academic sides of the campus. Both were wary of each other. Ambrose knew he needed the support of the whole school to be successful. So he set out to change the entire culture.

Towson football the best sports story in Maryland -- baltimoresun.com http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-cowherd-towson-1026-20111... Page 2 of 3 10/26/2011 "For years, everybody here was just happy to have a team," he says. "It was, 'Cool, we have a team!'" Except often it was a losing team that drew flies. And that attitude of settling for mediocrity fried Ambrose. "Now it's, 'We want to be good,'" he says. But Ambrose, a cocky guy, then only 38, had to be convinced the administration cared about excelling as much as he did. At his job interview with former Towson president Robert Caret, Ambrose was blunt. He wanted to know if Caret was committed to winning. And spending the kind of dough it took to win at the Division I level. If Caret wasn't, Ambrose was ready to call a cab right then and there. "If you're going to have a seriously renowned institution, then you're going to have to have a seriously renowned athletic department," Ambrose says. " [But] there are a whole bunch of incredibly intelligent people on the planet that just do not want to hear that." From all accounts, Caret was blown away by Ambrose's passion. So Ambrose took the job and went to work. The first two years were incredibly difficult. Ambrose and his staff concentrated on getting the players in shape and getting them to buy into his ideas about sacrifice and changing the culture. Sacrifice? Starting last January, the Tigers did conditioning drills at 5 a.m. at Unitas Stadium. And when official practices began, they did them at 5 a.m., too. "We got them some Under Armour cold-weather gear," Ambrose says with a smile. Change? He started a program called "Tiger Accountability." The Tiger players were divided into teams. And they competed in everything from class attendance to keeping the locker room clean to community service. Ambrose was preaching a weighty sermon: be aware of more than just yourself. Do things the right way. Don't let your teammates down. In the meantime, he was visiting with professors all over campus, talking with students, even breaking down film with them and answering questions. (Can you imagine the Ravens doing that with their fans? With all the raging paranoia at the Castle? With the Ravens it would be: "Sure, we can break down film with you. But then we'll have to kill you.") By last year, there was progress. The Tigers' lone win was a 47-45 five-overtime thriller against Coastal Carolina at home. But a narrow loss to James Madison a team that had beaten them 43-12 the year before gave Ambrose hope. "We lost 17-13 to the No. 5 team in the country and we dropped a ball in the end zone with a minute and a half to go in the game," he says. "That's when the kids thought: 'If we do what this guy

Page 3 of 3 10/26/2011 says, we could win.'" Another sign of change came in the final game, a 38-19 road loss to New Hampshire. When it was over, sophomore defensive end Frank Beltre draped an arm around Ambrose. "Coach," Beltre said, "we just got better today." Better? After a 19-point butt-whipping? Ambrose had no idea where Beltre was going with this one. "OK, Frank," he said, "why are we better?" Beltre pointed to some senior players. "Because that (bleep-bleeper) right there and that (bleep-bleeper) over there and that (bleep-bleeper) over there are never putting on the uniform again," he said. Addition by subtraction, Beltre meant. The Tigers were losing players who were just going through the motions. But there were plenty of hungry, motivated players to take their places. The Tigers did get better, of course. Way better. Look where they are now. Look at that dogfight they gave much-bigger Maryland a few weeks ago before finally running out of gas, 28-3. Now they take on Delaware Saturday night. And Johnny Unitas Stadium will be rocking. Tell me there's a better local sports story than that.

But Enders has played a key role in leading college football's biggest turnaround this season. Enders has helped a team that won one game last year and two the season before to a 6-1 record and a No. 13 national ranking among Football Championship Subdivision teams going into Saturday night's home game against No. 21 Delaware (4-4, 2-3). The Tigers are 4-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association and tied with Maine for first place. Enders credits Lackawanna coach Mark Duda, who played at Maryland in the early 1980s, with helping him get back his confidence. "The whole atmosphere, it's just a great coaching staff," Enders said. "There's just a lot of experience. Their main job was getting us to where we wanted to be. It was a great experience." It was while watching tape of a couple of other Lackawanna players that Towson coach Rob Ambrose fell in love with Enders' potential. Jared Ambrose, Towson's offensive coordinator, was familiar with Enders and talked him up to his big brother. "I'm watching it and I say to Jared, 'Who the hell is the quarterback?' " Ambrose recalled. "My brother is the one who convinced me to take him. We all saw the same thing on tape, but there's a lot more that goes into it. Jared really knew that the kid had character, he's smart and he was a good kid."

"When you're a good Division I quarterback, you're not a guy, you're the guy," said Ambrose, a backup quarterback during his career at Towson. "It's confidence, it's upbeat, it's excited about everything." One thing surprised Ambrose that he didn't see on tape. "How fast he is," Ambrose said. "When we played Morgan [in the season opener], he ran away from a corner [back]. We didn't know Grant could run." Ambrose should have asked Duda, who remembers Enders doing the same things in games last year "against guys who are now going to Auburn and Alabama." Duda said that had Enders not been required to spend the entire year at Lackawanna rather than transfer to a Division I school, he might have ended up "at K-State or someplace like that." There would have been irony had Enders landed at Kansas State, since he might have taken the place of former high school rival Billy Cosh, who starred at Arundel and is now a backup at James Madison after he didn't play his first two years for the Big 12 school. But Duda said of Enders' decision to go to Towson, "he went to the right program at the right time." Duda compares Enders in size (6 feet 3, 212 pounds), athleticism and accuracy to one of his former Maryland teammates: Boomer Esiason. Find more ways to connect with The Sun "Boomer was a guy who could move around a little bit," said Duda, who spent five years as a defensive lineman with the St. Louis Cardinals. "Boomer was a physical guy, and he had a good arm, he put the ball where he wanted to put it. I think they're very comparable. Grant is a leader like Boomer and the other Maryland quarterbacks were. He's a [Division] I-A quarterback." For Enders, ignorance might truly have been bliss in that he was not a part of Towson's lack of success the past couple of years. "I came in not really knowing what to expect," said Enders, who had played on winning teams since high school. "I was up here in the summer working out with the team and just the whole attitude, it felt like a bunch of guys who really wanted to win. It never really crossed my mind that this team was 1-10 the year before." He also wasn't quite sure whether the success he had at the junior college level would continue at Towson. "Being my first year here, it was kind of tough for me to compare it to anything. Junior college football is not the same as Division I football," Enders said. "We looked good all through camp, so I was excited to see how the first

Page 3 of 5 10/28/2011 game turned out." From the opening game rout of Morgan State, in which Enders completed 15 of 19 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns and rushed six times for 47 yards and another touchdown, Enders has made an immediate impact at Towson. While most of his performances can be described as efficient he is currently ranked second in pass efficiency on the FCS level with 99 completions in 137 attempts with nine touchdowns and four interceptons he is capable of the spectacular. Evidence of that came when he was 24-for-37 for 314 yards and two touchdowns at Old Dominion, as the Tigers stormed back from an 11-point deficit in the final 3:13 to win, 39-35. Towson followed it up with a 38-27 win at William & Mary last week. "Going down to Old Dominion, that was a pretty hostile environment, being able to come back in the fourth says a lot about our team and our offense," Enders said. About the only disappointment for Enders this season was not being able to play against Maryland on Oct. 1 because of a concussion suffered at the end of the Colgate win the previous week. A 28-3 defeat that was close for most of the first three quarters remains Towson's lone defeat. "It was real tough," Enders said. "Playing a team like them, that's a game everyone gets excited for. We really wanted to prove ourselves against them." Instead, the Tigers have proved themselves against a string of CAA teams, with reigning national runner-up Delaware up next. Though the Blue Hens are having a tough year playing for the first time in a decade without a quarterback who transferred from a BCS school, Enders said of the game "it's huge. Every game is a championship game for the rest of the season." Sounds a little like what a junior college transfer and a different bunch of Tigers went through last season. don.markus@baltsun.com Saturday's game Delaware (4-4, 2-3 CAA) @ Towson (6-1, 4-0 CAA) Time: 7 Site: Johnny Unitas Stadium TV: The Comcast Network Radio: 1570 AM Series: Delaware leads 8-4 What's at stake: The Tigers are looking to stay unbeaten and in first place in the Colonial Athletic Association, as well as reverse last year's 48-0 defeat to the Blue Hens. Towson has already matched its total for most CAA wins in a season but now has its sights set on making its first playoff appearance since leaving Division II in 1987. There's also pressure on fans to finally sell out the 11,000-seat stadium for the first time. Key matchup: The quarterbacks will play a big part in the outcome. Tim Donnelly will have a difficult time replicating former Delaware star Pat Devlin's performance from last year, and Towson's defensive line will likely try to take advantage of Donnelly's tendency to rush his throws (nine interceptions compared with 11 TDs). Conversely, Enders has managed to be incredibly accurate and should be able to keep the Blue Hens off balance by mixing things up offensively. Players to watch: Though freshman Terrance West (Northwestern) is one of four different Tigers to lead the team in rushing this season, he has exploded the past three games going for 128 yards and four touchdowns against Richmond, 148 yards and two touchdowns against Old Dominion and 141 yards and three touchdowns against William & Mary. Sophomore running back Andrew Pierce, the CAA's Preseason Player of the Year, has 829 yards on 171 carries and has scored 10 touchdowns for the Blue Hens.

Few Expected A Towson-Maine Showdown In The CAA http://www.college-sports-journal.com/index.php/78-college-sports-journal/david-coulson/... Page 1 of 3 11/9/2011 Home FCS ScoreCenter Conference Schedules FCS Standings Few Expected A Towson-Maine Showdown In The CAA Our Columnists updates throughout the weekend. By David Coulson Executive Editor College Sports Journal Editor's note: For the Colonial Athletic Association first-place battle between Towson University and the University of Maine, we are providing our readers with a special treat, an inside look at game preparations as the Towson Tigers travel on Friday to the Orono, ME campus and then complete game coverage on Saturday of this important contest, through Towson's return home on Saturday night. Look for several David Coulson Chuck Burton Releases Players of the Week Polls ORONO, ME. Two coaches cornered me at the Colonial Athletic Association media day in late July to make sure I knew how improved their teams were going to be during the 2011 season. One was Maine's veteran, pragmatic coach Jack Cosgrove. The other was youthful and exuberant Towson coach Rob Ambrose. While these two coaches may be on different spectrums in terms of experience, their message at the Baltimore Ravens' M&T Bank Stadium Club that summer day was the same. Watch out for our teams during the CAA race. Cosgrove gushed about how committed his team had been during summer workouts, noting that more Black Bear players had stayed to workout together than at any time in the 18-year history of Cosgrove's program. "This is probably the best group of kids we've had since our championship years," said Cosgrove, who led Maine to a share of Atlantic 10 titles in 2001 and 2002. "The commitment level of this team has been phenomenal." Ambrose usually bounces across the room like Tigger, the irrepressible, upbeat character from Winnie the Pooh, so it wasn't surprising to see this positive thinker spouting a large smile that morning. "We only won one game last year, but I'm telling you, we're going to surprise a lot of people this season," Ambrose said. "After what I saw last spring, I think we're going to have a very good football team." Not many people in the press, or around the CAA, believed Cosgrove, or Ambrose at the time. The two teams were picked to finish at the bottom of the league, even below newcomer Old Dominion after the Black Bears went 4-7 and the Tigers were 1-10. But now, as the regular season enters the stretch run, No. 7 Maine (7-2, 5-0) and No. 14 Towson (6-2, 4-1) are set to meet at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday in a first-place showdown. You could have gotten some pretty high odds on that happening if there had been a preseason CAA championship line in Las Vegas. Maine has done it by limiting turnovers and playing its trademark, tough defense. Senior quarterback Warren Smith, who transferred to Maine when Iona dropped its program in 2008 after his freshman year, was 62nd last season in FCS for passing efficiency. He also 23 interceptions, compared to 21 TD passes, in his first two years as a starter.

Few Expected A Towson-Maine Showdown In The CAA http://www.college-sports-journal.com/index.php/78-college-sports-journal/david-coulson/... Page 2 of 3 11/9/2011 This season, Smith has learned to avoid mistakes and is ranked 24th in passing efficiency with 14 touchdown tosses and just four interceptions. Cosgrove has pointed out for two years that the Black Bears also needed to put the wheels back on their traditional, ball-control running attack and senior running back Pushon Brown has given Maine a few extra gears with 723 yards rushing and eight touchdowns. On defense, players like defensive end Michael Cole and defensive backs Jerron McMillian, Trevor Coston, Darlos James and Vinson Givens have made the high-pressure unit as effective as some of those classic Maine defenses of the past, with standouts like linebacker Stephen Cooper and defensive end Jovan Belcher. For Towson, the winning formula has been similar to Maine's. There is junior Grant Enders, who has given the Tigers its most consistent play at quarterback since the great Sean Schaefer graduated in 2008. from Liberty Flames This Week In The Southland from Sam Houston state Football Headline Ne Bears Try to Play Spoiler versus #22 Norfolk State... Football Begins Game Plan For The Citadel from Samford Football news UC Davis Hosts No. 22 North Dakota On Senior Day from UC Davis Football news Enders started his career at Holy Cross, sitting behind Crusader phenom Dominic Randolph for a couple of years before heading to Lackawanna Junior College. Enders is 21st nationally in passing efficiency, 33rd in total offense and has shown the ability to beat teams with both his arm and his legs. Combine Enders' play with the discovery of freshman running back Terrance West probably the best first-year player in all of FCS this season and you have an offense that has been difficult to contain. The Tigers are almost perfectly balanced, rushing for 227 yards per game and passing for 215 to rank 10th nationally in total offense and scoring 32 points per game. Maybe the greatest improvement has been in Towson's offensive line. You have to give kudos to the Tiger offensive line coach John Donatelli and strength and conditioning coach Jeremy Pick for perhaps the biggest turnaround on the squad. On defense, the Tigers have been a gritty unit that has overcome lots of injuries and other setbacks to keep opponents within reach. Another key component to winning in the CAA is having the ability to pull games out of the fire in the late stages of games and both Maine and Towson have displayed an uncanny knack for that skill, too. This Site About Us Home Login Site Administrator More News Around the FCS View all» Playing in the tough environs of James Madison's sparkling, new Bridgeforth Stadium last month, Maine managed to take the Dukes to overtime. After JMU scored a TD to go ahead 24-17, the Black Bears came through with a TD of their own on an eight-yard pass from Smith to Justin Perillo to set up one of the best finishes of the season in college football. Maine decided to go for two on a fake PAT when backup senior quarterback Chris Triester spread the field with just him as the holder, with the kicker Brian Harvey and the long snapper in the middle of the field. Triester took a quick snap from center and dashed for the goal line, where he leaped as he was hit by a couple of defenders and helicoptered his way, through the air and landed in the end zone for a game -winning two-point conversion that made it 25-24 and even made ESPN SportsCenter's top plays of the weekend. Towson had a similar moment a few weeks back at Old Dominion when it faced a fourth and 29 play while trailing the Monarchs 35-32 in the final minute. Enders hit Tom Ryan between a pair of defenders for a 63-yard scoring strike that lifted the Tigers to a 39-35 lead with 1:07 remaining and the Towson defense made that dramatic score hold up. Towson also won a game earlier in the season when D.J. Soven capped a late drive with a 27-yard field goal to stop Richmond 27-24 on the game's final play. If we're lucky on Saturday afternoon at Maine's Alfond Stadium, we will see some similar dramatics from two teams that know one thought would be playing in such stratified air.

With help from famous alum, Towson's offensive line forges new path - baltimoresun.com http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-towson-offensive-line-1112-2...

A turnaround 2011 season continues Saturday afternoon for Towson (7-2, 5-1 Colonial Athletic Association) against New Hampshire (7-2, 5-1) at Johnny Unitas Stadium, and at the core of this remarkable reversal for the Tigers is what their offensive line learned from their most accomplished predecessor. It has made veteran line coach John Donatelli's job much easier than it had been since Bushrod went from being a virtual unknown to becoming the fourth-round draft pick for the Saints in 2007 and a fulltime starter during his second season. Having Bushrod around for several spring workouts earlier this year was "validation" for much of what Donatelli has been trying to teach a young and talented group led by Glackin, a four-year starter, and sophomore left tackle Eric Pike, now one of the team's captains. "I would preach and teach, and then when [Bushrod] came in, I would sit back and smile like the proud papa," Donatelli said. "He was saying everything I was saying to them without any prompting. They said, 'Oh yeah, I guess this does work, what he's teaching us.' '' Said Glackin: "Coach D's a wonderful coach, he knows so much about football, and then to see that success at the next level with a player he taught solidifies everything. He's just trying to put us in the best position." It has certainly worked this season for Towson, ranked 12th in the Football Championship Subdivision. Aside from being tied with No. 7 New Hampshire and No. 13 Maine for first place, the Tigers lead the CAA in rushing at more than 238 yards a game, 10th among FCS teams. Freshman tailback Terrance

With help from famous alum, Towson's offensive line forges new path - baltimoresun.com http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-towson-offensive-line-1112-2... Page 2 of 3 11/12/2011 West (Northwestern) leads the FCS in touchdowns with 21. "It truly is a group effort. There is no way one person can be outstanding," third-year Towson head coach Rob Ambrose said. "A good tailback can make an offensive line look good; a good offensive line can make any tailback look good. The fact that we've had success with numerous tailbacks, but with the same offensive line, speaks well to the group all the way around." Said Glackin, "The guys running the ball and Grant [Enders, Towson's redshirt sophomore quarterback] as well they make us look good." Ambrose credits much of the offensive line's success to Donatelli and strength and conditioning coach Jeremy Pick, but having Bushrod come back for the early-morning workouts certainly helped speed up the learning curve. "How fast they trust what you're teaching them is really a strong indicator of how fast they would grow," Ambrose said. "When you bring a guy like Bushrod in, he's a poster child for what John has been teaching offensive linemen for a long time." The Tigers were admittedly a little in awe when Bushrod showed up at his first pre-dawn session. "At first it was kind of unreal when you stand next to a guy you know has a Super Bowl ring," said right guard Charles Johnson (Poly), one of three redshirt sophomores who start. "But then when he would show us things, we were listening to each and every word. It gave us a lot of motivation." Redshirt sophomore center Doug Shaw (Loyola) said Bushrod was able to teach "incredible technique." Bushrod said he returned to his alma mater for about two weeks during spring workouts and later for the annual spring game. He also joined the team for the Villanova game in early September after the Saints played the Green Bay Packers on the first Thursday night of the NFL season, and has since followed them on television when he can. As impressed as the current linemen were with how humble and low-key Bushrod was, Bushrod was equally impressed with how hungry and motivated those who have followed him on Towson's offensive line were during those March workouts. "Being out there with them and being able to help them as much as I could, they were eager to learn and you could see it in their eyes they want to get better," said Bushrod, who starts at left tackle for the Saints, protecting star quarterback Drew Brees. "When you're getting out there for a 5:30 a.m., you can moan and groan all you want, but they were all out there with a positive attitude, being physical and willing to learn." Even last year, when the Tigers won only one game, Donatelli could see the offensive line growing. "They were doing a very, very admirable job for being redshirt freshmen, so I kind of saw last year that they could be a quality group," Donatelli said. "I would get them in the room every weekend as we were evaluating the previous game and say they played hard, they played smart, but they're just too young to impose their will right now. If they stayed together and stayed diligent on the course of preparation, someday they'd be able to do that." That level of preparation has grown this season.

With help from famous alum, Towson's offensive line forges new path - baltimoresun.com http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bs-sp-towson-offensive-line-1112-2... Page 3 of 3 11/12/2011 "I walk into the room and they're on the edge of their seat, they're bright-eyed, they're open, it's like, 'Teach me or I'll kill ya,' " Donatelli said. The rotation of six players on the offensive line gives the Tigers some depth, and their individual skills give Towson versatility. The most talented of the group could be Pike, who at 6-5 and only 280 pounds is a bit light but, according to Donatelli, "has an amazing football intelligence... as far as the cerebral process goes is on the same plane as Jermon" and, according to Ambrose, "probably loves football more than anybody I've ever met." Athletically, 6-4, 270-pound left guard Randall Harris, a converted defensive lineman, has the most potential, but he like Pike "needs to get in the weight room," Donatelli said. Shaw, who was converted from fullback five games into last season, is, according to Ambrose, "incredibly strong, farm-strong, one of those guys who you can't measure." Johnson, who is 6-2, 290 pounds, was on Ambrose's radar when he was offensive coordinator under Randy Edsall at Connecticut. "He's scary strong for his age and incredibly intelligent," Ambrose said. "He was probably the least experienced going into the season; he's really grown the fastest." Though none of the current linemen has Bushrod's combination of athleticism and football IQ at least not yet together they remind Donatelli of the workmanship displayed by Bushrod and his linemates. "The one thing that makes this group unique compared to the others I've had over the years is that they really enjoy the preparation," Donatelli said "They're really prideful in the little things, from their stance, their technique, their ability to communicate with each other. I've really been pleased with almost their professional mentality of preparation. They block out any distractions and they just prepare. They have an even-keel mentality. They just keep playing."

"Amazing," said Landeta, a former All-American who punted for the Tigers from 1979-82. "For them to turn around and do what they've done, not only with the record they have but beating the top-quality teams in the FCS division is just amazing." No one not even the program's most distinguished alumnus would have predicted the type of turnaround the Towson football Related team has experienced this season. With a win Saturday at Rhode Island, the Tigers (8-2, 6-1 Colonial Athletic Association) would clinch a share of the conference title and set a program record for wins as a member of the Football Championship Subdivision. College football scouting report: Before the season they were picked to finish at the bottom of the Towson at Rhode Island CAA after finishing 1-10 last year. "I don't think anyone outside of them would have predicted this kind of turnaround," Landeta said. "It's just the players are clearly better. They're playing like an absolutely totally different group that you've seen the past two years."

Towson (9-2), which won the Colonial Athletic Association championship Saturday for the first time in school history, will meet the 10-1 Mountain Hawks Dec. 3 at Johnny Unitas Stadium. The time of the game is to be determined. Some, including athletic director Mike Waddell, thought that the Tigers deserved to be one of the top four seeds which would have assured the possibility of a second home game because they won the CAA. But Waddell conceded, "We're a newcomer to the playoff politic and the best thing we can do is what we've done all year: go out and earn the respect we've earned to date and continue to earn on the national stage." Third-year coach Rob Ambrose didn't seem to care about not getting one of the top four seeds. "We have a home game in the playoffs," he said. "Those words have never been uttered here." Ambrose, whose team finished 2-9 and 1-10 in his first two years back at his alma mater, said that he was impressed with the way his players handled their last regular season game at Rhode Island. "They knew pretty much that they were going to the playoffs, whether we won the league or not, but the only way to insure that we were going to get a bye was to go six hours in a bus to beat probably the best three-win team in the country," Ambrose said. The game against Lehigh renews a relationship, though not quite a rivalry, from Towson's years in the Patriot League.

Page 2 of 2 11/21/2011 The Mountain Hawks, who have won the league six times since 1998 and will be going to the playoffs for the second straight year, won six of the seven games the teams played in the Patriot League and 10 of 11 overall. The two teams are currently ranked first and second in the Lambert Cup voting for the top FCS team in the East. "We obviously have a long, competitive history with Lehigh, to have a chance to bring a Lambert Trophy championship game to Baltimore really for the first time is special," Waddell said. "Not only is this the NCAA tournament, but with the Lambert trophy, there's a lot on the line." Waddell is hoping to sell out Unitas Stadium for the first time, and said that "more than 2,000" tickets were sold as of late Sunday morning. The winner of the Dec. 3 matchup between Towson and Lehigh will face the winner of North Dakota State and either James Madison or Eastern Kentucky. If the seeds held and the Tigers won their first game, Towson would travel to Fargo for the second round on Dec. 10. Towson is one of five teams out of the CAA to reach the playoffs a quarter of the 20-team field. The semifinals will be played Dec. 17 and the championship game is scheduled for January 7 in Friscoe, Tex. don.markus@baltsun.com Text NEWS to 70701 to get Baltimore Sun local news text alerts Copyright 2011, The Baltimore Sun
