NCAA Division I FCS playoff team. QB Jeff Sinclair accounted for five
touchdowns (3 passing, 2 rushing) against Saint Francis, Pa., as the
Colonials have won 14 of their last 15 against NEC opponents. Sinclair,
who directs a pro-style offense, has completed 67 of 122 passes for
791 yards and seven touchdowns, plus has run for three scores. The
first-team all-conference selection has thrown 38 career touchdowns.
Preseason All-America tight end Shadrae King (6-3, 225) is a two-time
All-NEC choice. King has 25 receptions for 265 yards and four TDs.
He has caught at least one pass in 24 consecutive games and is the
program's all-time leader with 119 receptions. He hauled in nine passes
for 104 yards and two TDs against Monmouth to earn NEC offensive
player of the week. WR Anthony Coleman, a preseason all-conference return specialist, totaled more than 120 all-purpose yards in each
of the last two games. He is among RMU's top 10 in career all-purpose
yards with 2,850. HB Justin Brooks, a freshman, is the leading rusher
with 237 yards and one touchdown. C Logan Miles (6-3, 295) earned
second-team All-NEC honors last year, while RG Brad Rodgers (62, 305) has made 27 career starts, including 25 in a row. The Colonials
have one of the better defensive units at the Division I FCS level. Robert
Morris' multiple scheme is ranked fourth nationally in total yards allowed
(273.6 ypg) and 11th in rushing yards against (87.8 ypg). Nolan
Nearhoof is one reason why Robert Morris allows 13.0 first downs
per game and limits opponents to a 29 percent third-down efficiency.
A first-team all-conference defensive end, Nearhoof is the program's
active leader in tackles (101), hits for a loss (17) and sacks (11). The
6-foot-2, 280-pound lineman has 24 tackles and 2.5 sacks this season.
ILB Kyle Cooper leads the team in tackles with 30 and recorded his
first career interception last week. CB Alex Tarr, a special teams
standout the last two years, has 20 tackles and two INTs. S Cameron
Chadwick, who has 25 tackles, is a College of Canyons transfer. DE
Steve Mitchell (6-2, 250) is a two-sport athlete after winning last
year's NEC hammer throw and being named the conference track
meet's most outstanding field performer. Greg Langer (placekicker)
and Tony LaMancusa (punter) are the Robert Morris' specialists.
HEAD COACH: Robert Morris' Joe Walton is in his 18th season as
head coach. He has a 105-73-1 record. Walton, who built the RMU
program from its foundation, has led the Colonials to a pair of mid-major
national titles. A four-time NEC coach of the year, Walton has directed
RMU to six league championships and two ECAC Classic victories. In
2010, Robert Morris became the first NEC program to earn an FCS
playoff berth. As head coach of the National Football League's New
York Jets from 1983-89, Walton twice led the team to the AFC playoffs.
He was also the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator from 199092. Walton played for the Washington Redskins and New York Giants.
THE SERIES: UAlbany and Robert Morris are meeting for the 13th time
on the gridiron. The teams have split the previous 12 games in the series.
QB Jeff Sinclair threw three touchdowns passes, all in the opening half,
and HB Myles Russ rushed for 138 yards and one score in leading
Robert Morris to a 38-0 win last year. Robert Morris completely
dominated the first half by scoring on three of its opening four
possessions. Russ broke free over the left side and cut to the sideline
on a 32-yard TD run. Sinclair then directed his team on six-play march
for a 21-0 margin and reached the end zone on a one-yard sneak.
Sinclair threw two scoring passes in the second quarter, as the
Colonials handed UAlbany its worst loss in league play. In 2009, RMU's
Garrett Clawson made a 20-yard field goal with no time remaining in
leading his team to a 13-10 victory. The Great Danes drew even at 10
apiece with 7:58 to play when QB Vinny Esposito threw an 11-yard
scoring pass to TE Paul Booker. Robert Morris drove nearly the length
of the field for the winning points, holding on to the ball for the final five
minutes and 38 seconds. QB Camdin Crouse hit a 22-yard pass and had
a third-down completion to keep the series alive. Russ rushed for 87
yards on 31 carries. In 2008, UAlbany posted a 41-7 triumph. The Great
Danes exploded for 17 third-quarter points. FS Dave Casale scored on
a 23-yard interception return, before TB Justin Gannon added a 40-yard
touchdown run. In 2007, TB David McCarty rushed for 167 yards and
two touchdowns and scored on a 61-yard reception in a 45-17 win at
University Field. McCarty's TD catch started a run of 21 straight points
that led to a 38-10 lead. RMU's Erik Cwalinski passed for 223 yards and
a pair of touchdowns. The Great Danes won a defensive battle in a 166 decision at Joe Walton Stadium in 2006. S Dave Nicomini returned an
interception for a touchdown and PK Jason Fralicker booted three field
goals. In 2005, QB Brett Hall reached the end zone on a 2-yard option
run with 2:57 remaining in a 20-17 victory. The Colonials had taken the
lead on SE Michael Rogers' 41-yard touchdown reception.

Season Preview
UAlbany established a program
record with its fifth consecutive winning
season one year ago by recording nonleague victories over Maine and Yale
en route to a 6-5 campaign. But the
Great Danes, who have won four
Northeast Conference championships
since 2002, were not satisfied after
tying for fourth place in the conference
standings.
“If you can’t run the ball and can’t
stop the run, you will not be playing in
December,” offers head coach Bob
Ford, the active NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leader with
247 career victories. “We have an
opportunity to make a run at the title.”
“This will be a better football team,”
explains Ford, whose team ended the
2010 schedule by winning its final
three games. “It’s a more experienced
group, but I am concerned that we had
ten players miss the spring due to
injury.”
For the second year in a row, the
NEC champion receives an automatic
berth in the NCAA FCS playoffs.
OFFENSE: The Great Danes return their
starting quarterback, top two running
backs and leading receiver.
Buddy Leathley took over the
starting quarterback duties at midseason as a redshirt freshman.
Leathley, who has the ability to run and
throw, completed 67 of 125 pass
attempts for 748 yards and four
touchdowns and was third on the team
in rushing with 178 yards and two
scores. Dan Di Della, a 6’5" senior, took
a lot of snaps during the spring with
Leathley recovering from off-season
surgery. He passed for 720 yards and
three TDs last season.
The tailback position is loaded with
Dillon Romain and Andrew Smith.
Romain was the NEC’s top offensive
rookie after rushing for 547 yards and
six touchdowns and averaging 86.7 allpurpose yards per game. Smith, a
junior who has more than 1,800 allpurpose yards in his two-year career
and has played multiple positions, had
a team-high 724 yards and seven
touchdowns on the ground.
“Drew has done some great things
and I am glad he is on our side,” Ford
states. “Dillon is a throwback runner.
He is tough and runs to his nose.”
Ben Miseikis, who rushed for 163
yards and two TDs, has been productive in every situation as a tailback.
Tramaine Wilson, who missed most of
last season, has breakaway speed.
Justin Petersen, the good-hands
fullback, and Ben Carl, who can run
and catch, add more dimension to the
offensive attack.
Leading receiver Ryan Kirchner
registered the fifth-best single-season
total in school history with 50 receptions for 504 yards and one touchdown. He also averaged 10.4 yards
per punt return. Kevin Chillis moved
into the wide receiver rotation during
the final part of his redshirt freshman
season.
“Each player has the passion and
talent, plus can catch the ball,” Ford
says. “They have been productive and
should have great seasons.”
Tight end Paul Booker (10 receptions) can stretch the field with decent
size and strength. Receivers Jameel
Gay, who had 18 catches last year, was
baptized as a true freshman, while
John Lullen has been a solid collegian
over the previous three seasons.
For UAlbany to see a significant
upgrade, a reshuffled offensive line
must improve. Kyle O’Keefe is the top
returning lineman. A 6-foot-3, 290pound left guard, the senior was
slowed by injuries one year ago, but
has physical toughness coupled with
leadership ability. Keith Peifer (6-5,
280) has moved from tackle to right
guard is in his third year as a starter
where he will not have to operate in as
much space.
Chaz Mitchell (6-3, 270) and
Jordan Migliore (6-6, 295) have the
upper hand at both tackle positions as
preseason begins. Mitchell is athletic
and moves well. Anthony Bazzoffi (63, 335) has shown progress at left
guard, while sophomore tackle
Kadeem Williams (6-7, 300) is
expected to blossom. Redshirt
freshman Brian Parker has made the
switch from tight end.
DEFENSE: The Great Danes, who have
traditionally been tough to run against,
return seven starters on defense. “We
have experience and enough depth
and talent,” Ford says.
Eddie Delaney (6-6, 250) and Marc
Wargo (6-2, 245) are proven talents as
defensive ends. Delaney, who plays
with one hand, earned second-team
all-conference honors for the second
time as a junior. He made 41 tackles,
including 4.5 for losses. Wargo had 18
tackles and led the team in sacks
(3.5).
Zach Gallo (6-0, 265) and Ocieka
Bakou (6-0, 270) are penciled in as the
starting tackles. Gallo, who has been
a solid performer, totaled 32 tackles.
An agile junior, Bakou (24 tackles) has
made the steady incline. Dean
Mercuris is capable in a variety of
2010 Northeast Conference Offensive
Rookie of the Year Dillon Romain (20).
positions. Andrew Smith (6-2, 255) is
also versatile and has every physical
tool.
Dave Plungas and Jon Morgan are
back as the starting inside linebackers. Plungas led the team in tackles
with 71 as a sophomore. Morgan, who
made the successful transition from
the outside and could become an allconference type, was second with 54
tackles and scored on a fumble return
for the second time during his career.
Raymond Dorcely, a 6-foot senior,
should start at outside linebacker.
Dorcely, who is usually in the right
place at the right time, made 26
tackles. Alex Helmer, who improved in
the spring, and redshirt freshman Kyle
Jordan add depth at the position.
The defensive secondary is a
veteran unit. “We may be strongest at
safety,” Ford states. “There is good
experience with athleticism on the front
level.” Jake Ciccarello, a physical
safety, and Justin Hassan, a secondyear starter at free safety, each had 51
tackles and two interceptions.
Justininan Mason (21 tackles) will
also see time at both safety positions.
Leon Saddler, who originally
attended C.W. Post and had 41 tackles
and four pass break-ups last season,
and Duane Harper figure to be the
cornerbacks. Kareem Cooper and
Randall Extanus (20 tackles, 5 PBUs)
are in more prominent roles.
KICKING GAME: Both specialists
return. Herb Glass, who handles
kickoffs and placements, is among the
school’s all-time scorers with 164
points. He is second in career field
goals (28) and has made 86 pointafter attempts. Paul Layton averaged
40.1 yards per punt in his first collegiate season and drilled 12 kicks of
50-plus yards.
