Football Championship Game Notes
2012 NAIA Football National Championship – Press Book Notes
• This is the fifth-straight year that Rome, Ga., has served as the host and the 45th
different site for the Russell Athletic-NAIA Football National Championship. Thursday’s contest marks the first non-Saturday game in NAIA Football Championship
history, since the association returned to one division in 1997. The 6:35 p.m. EST
kickoff will again showcase the lights and artificial turf installed prior to 2010.
• The average attendance in the last four years in Rome has been 5,854 fans. The
highest attendance of 6,500 occurred in the 2008 event when Carroll (Mont.) and
Sioux Falls (S.D.) squared off for the second-straight season. Sioux Falls avenged
its 2007 loss to Carroll with a 23-7 win.
• Since moving to Rome in 2008, the average margin of victory is 6.5 points, including a four-point win by Saint Xavier (Ill.) last season. Since the NAIA went to one
division in 1997, the national championship average margin of victory is 10.1 points.
Nine of those 15 contests were decided by eight points-or-less.
• There have been 10 national championship shutouts since the event began in
1956. The last shutout came in 2000 when Northwestern Oklahoma State blanked
Georgetown (Ky.), 20-0. It is also the only shutout since the NAIA moved back to
one division in 1997.
• Seven ties have occurred at the NAIA Football National Championship, including
a 0-0 draw between Montana State and St. Joseph’s (Ind.) in the event’s inaugural
game (1956). The last tie was a 21-21 stalemate between Central Washington and
Findlay (Ohio) in the 1995 Division II title game.
• Both Morningside (Iowa) and Marian (Ind.) are appearing in their first-ever national
championship. It’s the first matchup between two national championship rookies
since Azusa Pacific (Calif.) played Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) in 1998.
• No matter which team wins on Thursday, the victor will become the second-straight
program to win a title in its first championship appearance. Prior to Saint Xavier last
season, Azusa Pacific in 1998 was the most recent championship newcomer to win
the title.
• Morningside and Marian entered the playoffs as the third and fifth ranked teams
in the final regular season edition of the NAIA Football Coaches’ Top 25 Poll, marking the second-straight year that the No. 1 team has failed to make the national
championship game.
• The No. 3-ranked team entering the national championship stands with a 0-2 mark
since 1999. Fifth-ranked clubs are 1-1, including Saint Xavier’s win last season.
• The lower ranked program has won five of the last six national championships.
• Morningside enters Thursday with a 10-8 all-time championship record in nine appearances. Prior to 2012, the Mustangs had only advanced past the quarterfinals
once (2005).
• The Mustangs are 3-3 all-time against Mid-States Football Association opponents
and improved to 1-2 against Mideast League teams after defeating defending national champion Saint Xavier, 47-19, in the semifinals. Morningside’s two Mideast
League losses came against Saint Francis (Ind.) (2004 and 2005).
• Morningside is only the second Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) team to
appear in the title game since the league was established in 2000. Sioux Falls, who
won national crowns in 2006, 2008 and 2009, is the other. The GPAC is 3-3 all-time
in national championship games.
• The Mustang’s are the NAIA’s lone remaining undefeated team at 13-0. With a
victory, Morningside will be the first unbeaten team to win the championship since
Carroll in 2010.
• Morningside showcases a talented defense that leads the NAIA in rushing defense
per game (63.1 yapg) and scoring defense per game (11.9 papg). The Mustangs
have held opponents to seven-or-less points in eight games this season, including
a streak of three-consecutive shutouts between Oct. 27 and Nov. 10. Through three
FCS games, Morningside is allowing an average of 32.7 points, 512.7 total yards,
129 rushing yards and 383.6 passing yards per game. During the same stretch, the
Mustangs have forced eight turnovers, including six interceptions.
• Linebacker Aaron Roberg paces a defense that boasts 98.0 tackles-for-loss and
29 sacks with 115 tackles (41 solo), while fellow linebacker Chris Calvillo also tops
the century mark with 103 stops (43 solo). Defensive end Marcus Smith leads the
team with 14.0 tackles-for-loss and 6.5 sacks. Nine different Mustangs own at least
one interception this season with free safety Jared Goforth, who is also third on the
team with 81 tackles (49 solo), owning a team-high nine picks.
• Offensively, Morningside ranks amongst the top 10 nationally in the following categories: scoring offense (591), passing offense (3,800), scoring offense per game
(45.5), total offense per game (491.7), first downs per game (24.2), passing offense
2 • NAIA National Office • 1200 Grand Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64106 • 816.595.8000
per game (292.3) and rushing offense (2,592).
• Quarterback Joel Nixon, who had never played a down as a collegiate quarterback
prior to this season, is the sparkplug for the Morningside offense. He is a dual-threat
that is second in the NAIA in total offense (4,384) and total passing (3,614). Nixon
also leads the team in rushing with 770 yards on 150 attempts this season. In the
semifinals against Saint Xavier, Nixon completed 22-of-34 pass attempts for 335
yards and four touchdowns, while also running for 32 yards and a score en route to
winning his third-straight Outstanding Offensive Player of the Game award.
• Nixon’s two favorite targets have been fullback Joel McCabe and wide receiver
Kyle Schuck. McCabe is fifth nationally with 1,224 receiving yards this season, while
Kyle Schuck is ninth with 986 yards. McCabe boasts a team-high 80 catches and
Schuck leads the way with 19 receiving touchdowns.
• In just six years of existence, Marian has become a powerhouse in NAIA football,
boasting a 6-2 overall record in just three FCS appearances.
• Year-by-Year Records: 2007 (1-9); 2008 (7-4); 2009 (6-5); 2010 (10-3);
2011 (12-1); 2012 (11-1)
• The Knights are 1-0 all-time against GPAC teams with that lone victory coming in
the first round against Northwestern (Iowa), 42-32.
• Marian is the second-straight team from the Mid-States Football Association Mideast League (MSFAE) to play for the title. Prior to Saint Xavier’s victory last season,
former NAIA member Findlay (Ohio) in 1997 was the last MSFAE to claim the top
prize.
• Similarly to Morningside, the Knights boast one of the nation’s top defenses – ranking fourth in rushing defense per game (89.1) and 10th in total defense per game
(279.3). Marian has held two of its three FCS opponents under 100 yards rushing,
including a season-low 35-yard effort by Missouri Valley on Dec. 1 – 141.2 yards
below their season average entering the contest.
• Seven Knights own 50-or-more tackles this season, led by Seth Vondersaar’s 81
(22 solo). He also leads the team with 10.5 tackles-for-loss and is third with 4.5
sacks from his defensive end position.
• Offensively, Marian is eighth in the NAIA in total passing offense (3,159) and total
scoring offense (428). The Knights have scored at least 30 points in 10-of-12 games
this season, including a season-high 49-point performance against Taylor (Ind.) on
Oct. 6.
• Quarterback Adam Wiese and running back Tevin Lake lead a balanced Marian attack that averages 263.3 passing yards and 177.6 rushing yards per game. Wiese is
one yard shy of 3,000 passing yards on the season and is completing 68.7 percent
(255-of-371) of his throws. In three FCS games, Wiese has thrown for 848 yards
and six touchdowns. Lake owns back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons, including 1,490 yards this season, which ranks third in the NAIA. He has eclipsed 100
yards in 8-of-11 games in 2012, including two-straight 135-plus yard performances
against Saint Francis and Missouri Valley in the FCS.
• Marian placekicker Michael Josifovski put himself on the national radar after scoring 12 of the Knights’ 20 points, in their semifinal win at Missouri Valley. He converted field goals of 47, 54, 34 and 51 yards with the final kick coming as time expired
to give Marian the victory. The 54-yard field goal is the longest in program history.
He is also the first Marian kicker to hit two 50-plus yard field goals in a single game.
• A combined 870 points were scored through 14 Football Championship Series
(FCS) games, including 524 points scored in the first round, which is the highest first
round total since the NAIA went to one division in 1997.
• Bethel’s (Tenn.) 45-44 first round victory over Georgetown (Ky.) marked the first
time the top-ranked team in the final NAIA Football Coaches’ Top 25 Poll has fallen
in the first round of the Football Championship Series, dating back to 1999.
• Seven teams in this year’s FCS have made at least 10 postseason appearances
(including this year): Georgetown (18), Missouri Valley (10), Saint Francis (13), St.
Ambrose (Iowa) (12), MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) (10), Baker (Kan.) (12) and
Northwestern (Iowa) (16).
• There were nine repeat programs from the 2011 FCS First Round.
• Six-time NAIA national champion and FCS regular Carroll failed to make the field of
16 for the first time since the 1999 season. Thursday’s national championship game
will be only the third title match since 2002 that does not feature the Fighting Saints.
• The Mid-States Football Association Mideast Division (MSFAE) and the Heart of
America Athletic Conference (HAAC) land the most squads in the 16-team field. The
MSFAE was represented by Saint Xavier, Marian and Saint Francis. Competing out
of the HAAC was Missouri Valley, MidAmerica Nazarene and Baker.
• Three teams finished the regular season with an undefeated record: Georgetown,
Missouri Valley and Morningside.

Head Coaching Career
2002-present........................................................... Morningside Head Coach
Now in his 11th season, Steve Ryan has guided the Mustangs to an 98-30 record for
a .766 winning percentage to make him one of the most successful head coaches
in Morningside history. Ryan has led the Mustangs to nine consecutive post-season
appearances in the NAIA National Championship Series, ranks second in school
history in career victories, and his .766 winning percentage is the highest victory rate
in Morningside football history.
Ryan has directed Morningside to a 90-18 record for a .833 winning percentage
over the past nine campaigns to make the Mustangs one of the most successful
programs in the NAIA. He led the Mustangs to Great Plains Athletic Conference
(GPAC) championships in 2005, 2011 and 2012
Ryan collected GPAC Coach of the Year honors in 2004, 2005, 2011 and 2012. He
received American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) NAIA Region 4 Coach of
the Year recognition in 2005, 2011 and 2012, and was the 2004 NAIA Football.net
National Coach of the Year.
In 2005, Ryan guided Morningside to one of its greatest football seasons in school
history. The Mustangs posted a 12-1 record, won the GPAC championship with a
perfect 10-0 record, and were ranked third nationally in the final 2005 NAIA regular
season poll. The Mustangs toppled No. 14 St. Ambrose University 58-7 and No. 10
Evangel University 54-21 in the first two rounds of the NAIA Playoffs to reach the
semifinals, where they lost 42-14 against second-ranked University of Saint Francis.
Ryan led the Mustangs to records of 9-3 and the quarterfinals of the NAIA Playoffs in
the 2006 and 2007 campaigns and his 2008, 2009, and 2010 teams returned to the
quarterfinals and finished with records of 10-2 for the second highest victory totals
in Morningside history.
Ryan’s Mustangs made their first appearance on the NAIA national stage in 2004
when they posted an 8-2 record, achieved a No. 12 national ranking, and secured
their first-ever berth in the NAIA National Championship Series.
He guided Morningside to a 5-5 record in 2002 in his first season with the Mustangs
to snap a streak of 15 consecutive losing seasons. The five wins were the college’s
most victories since the 1985 campaign. Included among the victories was a
stunning 24-21 double overtime upset of NCAA Division II Wayne State College in
the season’s opener. Ryan also led the Mustangs to a 28-25 upset triumph against
2002 GPAC runner-up Doane College, a loss that helped knock the Tigers out of
NAIA National Playoff consideration.
Before coming to Morningside, Ryan was an assistant coach at Ottawa University
and helped lead the Braves to a pair of NAIA Championship Series appearances.

Ryan is a 1989 graduate of Wheaton College in Illinois, where he was a four-year
letterwinner and a three-year starter as a linebacker. He received his master’s
degree from National-Louis University in 1997.
Steve and his wife, Lisa, reside in Sioux City with their six children: Madison, Kali,
Kelsi, Jenna, Gabrielle, and William.

season and earned votes in the NAIA Top 25 for the first time. They also defeated No. 25-ranked
McKendree, 28-21, on the road for their first-ever road win and their first-ever win over a ranked
opponent.
The inaugural season yielded the team’s first-ever victory, a MSFA All-Mideast second team
selection, an MSFA All-Academic team selection, and four MSFA All-Mideast honorable
mentions. The Knights finished 1-9 in their first-ever season, but that victory was monumental
for a startup program.
Karras, alongside assistant coach Martin Mathis, created a program with just 48 student-athletes
and a practice facility that resembled a swamp. Now, the program’s evolution is complete.
Through four years, Coach Karras has amassed a 24-21 record, including a 1-9 first season,
and is 23-12 over the last three years, including a 10-3 mark in 2010.
Head Coaching Career
2006-present.................................................................... Marian Head Coach
2003-2005........................ Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Head Coach
Marian University head football coach Ted Karras Jr. coined a phrase after the 2010 season:
“From the Swamp to the Mountains.” The first five years of Marian University football has seen
the program rise from practicing in a nature preserve to near the top of that proverbial mountain.
After guiding the Knights to numerous firsts in the program’s short history in 2010, the program
rose to new heights in 2011.
The 2011 season was the team’s fourth winning season in five years, and Karras’ Knights
earned the program’s first Mid-States Football Association Mideast League championship after
its first perfect 10-0 regular season. They started the season ranked No. 6 in the nation and
spent five weeks, until the national semifinals, as the nation’s No. 1-ranked team. The team
finished the season 12-1 and closed the year as the No. 3-ranked team in the NAIA.
Under his tutelage, 27 Knights earned All-MSFA Mideast League honors, a school record, with
13 of those players earning first team honors. He was named MSFA Mideast League Coach of
the Year and earned AFCA NAIA Region 2 Coach of the Year honors. He also earned American
Football Monthly NAIA National Coach of the Year honors. Assistant coach Martin Mathis was
named MSFA Mideast League Assistant Coach of the Year as well. He also coached the 2011
MSFA MEL Player of the Year in Dustin Craig, who also was named the program’s second
AFCA-NAIA First Team All-American. The Knights were within a yard of competing for the NAIA
national championship, but made a step forward from the NAIA Football Championship Series
quarterfinals in 2010 to the NAIA FCS semifinals in 2011.
The 2010 season saw the Knights begin to climb the mountain. Not only was it the program’s
third straight winning season, but they earned their first-ever 10-win season and garnered their
first-ever top 10 ranking in the NAIA Football Coaches’ Poll. The culmination of the greatest
season in the program’s history came on November 14, 2010 when Marian University was
selected to play in the NAIA Football Championship Series for the first time in school history.
The firsts did not end there. The Knights, ranked 11th at the time, defeated eighth-ranked
Ottawa University by a 35-20 score to earn their first-ever postseason victory. MU fell to eventual
national champion Carroll College after a trip to the mountains in Helena, Montana. They closed
the 2010-11 academic year as the sixth-ranked team in the nation.
The 2009 season was the program’s second straight winning season as they earned a 6-5
record. The Knights defeated the University of St. Francis (Ill.) on a last-second field goal to earn
their first-ever season-opening win. They also opened a new stadium, St.Vincent Health Field,
with a 34-16 win over Grand View, which finished the season ranked in the top 25. The season
culminated with the program’s first-ever AFCA-NAIA All-America selection in the graduated
Chris White.
The second season of Knights football was proof that the program had grown as Karras guided
the Knights to their first-ever winning season at 7-4. The team won three straight during the

A northwest Indiana native, Karras came to Marian University after three seasons defying the
odds at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. While with the Fighting Engineers, Karras led
RHIT out of the doldrums of perennial two- and three-win seasons. Under his tutelage, the
Fighting Engineer program was revitalized with shocking victories over DePauw University,
Washington University, and the program’s first victory at Rhodes College in Memphis since
1971. He posted a pair of .500 (5-5) records in his first season, the first since 1995, and final
season at the helm.
During his time at RHIT, his players excelled in both football and academics. He had two
Academic All-Americans, 13 All-Conference performers, and the first All-American defensive
lineman in school history. He also coached the SCAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2004.
While the defensive side saw success, the offense was not to be outdone.
He coached RHIT’s first conference rushing champion since 1995 and was cited as having the
nation’s “best performance by a rookie coach” by d3football.com in 2003. Karras went 14-16
with RHIT, the best three-year record of any coach, and was named one of the “10 hottest
coaches in division III” by American Football Monthly.
For four years prior to RHIT, Karras was the offensive coordinator at MSFA foe, St. Xavier
University. Coach Karras was part of an MSFA Midwest League championship and NAIA playoffqualifier in 2002. His players established nine single-season and two single-game records during
his tenure, including total yards, number of plays, all-purpose yards, rushing yards, attempts,
touchdowns, first downs, and rushing first downs.
Prior to SXU, Karras served as the head coach at Andrean High School in Gary, Indiana, from
1996-98. Karras successfully rebuilt a program that had never won a regional championship.
During his tenure, AHS won three sectional and two regional championships and earned a berth
in the state championship game. Coach Karras amassed a 30-10 overall record at Andrean
High School and was named the Indiana Football Coaches’ Association Regional Coach of the
Year in 1997 and 1998.
He also served as defensive line coach at St. Francis College (Ilinois) from 1995-96 and
defensive coordinator at Lake Forest College (Illinois) from 1993-95. Karras also served as a
defensive line graduate assistant at Northern Illinois University in 1992-93 and as a graduate
assistant at the University of Minnesota from 1991-92. His coaching experience began as a
defensive line coach for Kankakee Valley High School in 1989.
Karras was a four-year starter at Northwestern University from 1983-87 and earned his bachelor
of science from Northwestern in 1987. His playing career continued as he signed with the
Washington Redskins as a free agent and spent one season with the Redskins.
Coach Karras’ bloodline is football-rich; his father, Ted Sr., played for the George Halas-led
Chicago Bears from 1960-64. His uncle, Alex Karras, spent 13 seasons with the Detroit Lions
(1958-71) and earned All-Big Ten honors at the University of Iowa.
Coach Karras is married to Jennifer, and the couple has two children, Taylor, a junior honors
student at Indianapolis Cathedral, and Teddy, who is a redshirt freshman offensive lineman at
the University of Illinois. Teddy is the seventh member of the Karras family to play football in the
Big Ten Conference.

Cougars down Carroll (Mont.), 24-20
Dec. 17, 2011
ROME, Ga. – No. 5 Saint Xavier (Ill.) took home its first-ever trophy by winning the Russell Athletic-NAIA Football
National Championship, 24-20, over No. 2 Carroll (Mont.) tonight at Barron Stadium. Appearing in their first title
game, the Cougars top-ranked offense recorded 355 yards.
“This is indescribable,” said St. Xavier head coach Mike Feminis. “So many guys stepped up. Offensively, we
have an All-America quarterback in Jimmy Coy and an All-America wide receiver in Shane Zackery. They had
the best games of their year tonight. Our offense gets a lot of the attention but our defense came up big to win
us the national championship.
Behind the legs and arm of senior quarterback and Outstanding Offensive Player of the Game Jimmy Coy, the
Cougars (14-1) put pressure on the Carroll defense. Coy finished with 294 yards of total offense, with 216 coming
through the air. He tossed one touchdown and found the end zone on the ground.
The Cougar offense was impressive early scoring on their first two drives of the game. Equally important was the
unit eating up the clock. Tom Lynch booted a 20-yard field goal, which was followed by an eight-yard touchdown
run by Coy. With 1:43 remaining in the first quarter, St. Xavier held a 10-0 advantage. Both drives spanned 15
plays and covered more than 70 yards each.
Carroll’s offense in the second quarter got going. Senior quarterback Dane Broadhead hit senior wide receiver
Matt Ritter from 20 yards out to put the Fighting Saints on the board. That play culminated a 10-play, 62 yard drive.
Coy and the Cougar offense responded quickly going 49 yards in nine plays and scoring on an 11-yard pass to
junior wide receiver Shane Zackery.
With just over a minute left in the first half, Carroll did not lay down as it trailed 17-7. Broadhead engineered a
quick strike by finding freshman wide receiver Anthony Clarke on a 26-yard score. That drive only took :43 on
the clock.
At the half, St. Xavier led 17-14 as both offenses gained over 200 yards.
Freshman Jared Mayernik put the Fighting Saints in the lead for the first time by returning the second half opening
kickoff 94 yards. After a Tom Yaremko missed PAT, Carroll held a 20-17 advantage. That kickoff return for a score
was the first in the national championship since Adam Lopez of Sioux Falls (S.D.) went 91 yards for a touchdown
in 2009.
The lead was short-lived for Carroll. Three minutes later, St. Xavier’s KJ Franklin rushed in from four yards out.
That capped another long drive with 11 plays and 67 yards and would be the eventual game-winner for the team
out of the Mid-States Football Association Mideast Division.
The Saint Xavier defense, which was overshadowed all season by the No. 1-ranked offense, put on a show in
the second half. The Carroll offense had successive drives of zero yards, 12 and 20 that spanned into the fourth
quarter. The Outstanding Defensive Player of the Game Patrick Appino was the star with five total tackles (four
solo), 1.0 sack and 2.0 tackles-for-loss. He was part of a unit to tally 9.0 tackles-for-loss and 2.0 sacks.
Junior strong safety Clayton Fejedelem led the Cougars with nine total stops (six solo) and three pass break-ups.
Sophomore linebacker Zach Dolph and senior backer Michael Prosser each were credited with eight total tackles.
Defensively for Carroll, junior linebacker Thomas Robison went for 14 tackles (10 solo) and one tackle-for-loss.
Coy led all rushers with 78 yards on 16 carries for a 4.9 yard average. His favorite target was Zackery, who caught
nine balls for 78 yards. Broadhead went 20-for-31 passing for 223 yards and two touchdowns for the Fighting
Saints. Ritter had 11 catches for 117 yards. National Player of the Year Chance Demarais was held to 57 rushing
yards on 21 carries for a 2.7 average.
Carroll, who was shooting for its seventh national title, ends its season with a 13-2 record.

2011 National Championship Recap
Notes:
• The official attendance was listed at 5,917.
• This is the fourth-straight year that Rome, Ga., has served as host and the 45th different site for the National Championship.
• Saint Xavier becomes the first team since Carroll in 2002 to win the national title in its first game appearance.
• In the last five years, the national championship has not been decided until the final moments. The average margin of victory during that span was 6.8 points, including a
three-point win for Carroll last season. In the five-year span prior (2001-05), the average margin of victory was 15.0 points.
• A win by Saint Xavier means that a team other than Carroll or Sioux Falls (S.D.) is the national champion for the first time since 2001.
• Members of the Mid-States Football Association (MSFA), Saint Xavier is the first team out of the MSFA to play for the title since Saint Francis (Ind.) appeared in 2006. The
Cougars are the MSFA’s first national champion since former NAIA school Findlay (Ohio) won it all in 1997.
• Carroll falls to 6-2 all-time in the National Championship.
• The eight national title game appearances for Carroll ties Texas A&I for the second-most amount of any NAIA team. Westminster (Pa.) advanced to nine trophy contests.
• All eight of Carroll’s championship game appearances have come since 2002. In a 10-year span, that amount of National Championship game appearances is the most
in NAIA history. Two teams made the trophy game six times during a 10-year stint, Texas A&I (1968-77) and Sioux Falls (S.D.) (2001-10).
• Since the Rawlings-NAIA Player of the Year award was handed out beginning in 1997, the winner of the award has not translated into team success. In that span, the
Player of the Year has played on a team that is 6-6 in the National Championship. This year, the Player of the Year was handed to Carroll’s Chance Demarais.
• Carroll’s Chance Demarais was limited to 57 rushing yards, with his longest run of the game covering 10 yards.
• The No. 2-ranked team entering the National Championship falls to 5-3 since 2000. The No. 5 ranked clubs are now 1-1 after the Saint Xavier victory. Saint Xavier is the
lowest seed to reach the title game since No. 9 Carroll upset No. 2 Saint Francis (Ind.), 15-13, in 2004.
• With both teams entering Saturday with one loss, it snaps a six-year streak of both of the National Championship qualifiers being undefeated.
• The lower-ranked team has now won five of the last six national championships.

Fighting Saints erase Sioux Falls' 42-game winning streak
Dec. 18, 2010
ROME, Ga. – As a potential game-tying field goal sailed wide left, Carroll (Mont.) started to celebrate for the sixth
time in school history. The No. 2-ranked Fighting Saints brought home the 2010 Russell Athletic-NAIA Football
National Championship after a 10-7 victory against No. 1 Sioux Falls (S.D.) from Barron Stadium. In a game
that was not decided until the final moments, Sioux Falls drove into field-goal range with less than 10 seconds
remaining. The 46-yard attempt by USF’s Braden Wieking missed to tie the score.
Since 2002, Carroll earns its sixth National Championship all under the direction of coach Mike Van Diest. The
Fighting Saints improve to 4-1 all-time in the series with Sioux Falls. USF had its 42-game winning streak halted,
which had tied an all-time NAIA record. Before today’s loss, the last program to defeat Sioux Falls was Carroll in
the 2007 National Championship.
“The score tells it all – it was a great battle,” said Van Diest, whose Fighting Saints are now 6-1 in the National
Championship game. “I felt our offensive line really controlled the line of scrimmage and Gary (Wagner) kept
the plays alive. We are very excited. We talked about climbing the mountain a long time ago during two-a-day
(practices). It was one step at a time and we never wanted to look back. It was a terrific ball game and my hats
off to Sioux Falls for their tremendous run.”
With both teams so evenly matched on paper, the game was destined to be a nail-biter.
Carroll, which ranked in the top-10 in rushing offense, was going up against a Sioux Falls defense to yield just 87
yards on the ground per contest. Behind the running tandem of seniors John Camino and Gary Wagner, Carroll
rolled up 174 rushing yards. Camino finished with 81 yards on 24 carries, while the legs of quarterback Wagner
netted 75 with one score.
In the game’s opening drive, Carroll marched down to the 41-yard line of Sioux Falls and looked like they would
score the first points. But, sophomore Eric Anderson sacked Wagner and forced the Fighting Saints to punt.
Carroll would get more first-half scoring opportunities, though.
After the Carroll defense forced a three-and-out, the Fighting Saints again drove the ball into USF territory. Carroll
converted a fourth-down play during the drive and ended up with a short field goal attempt. But, sophomore Tom
Yaremko hit the right upright from 21 yards out and the game was still scoreless.
Sioux Falls threatened on its next possession as the passing game heated up. Senior quarterback Jon Eastman
found junior Alex Anderson and senior Jon Ryan on a couple of pass plays to move the ball near midfield. A
holding penalty on Sioux Falls stalled the drive and the Cougars were forced to punt.
As the game remained scoreless in the second quarter, the game was becoming more of a defensive battle. That
was until Wagner found a hole in the middle of the USF defense. From his 17-yard line, the Outstanding Offensive
Player of the Game broke a tackle and scampered 83 yards for a career-long rushing touchdown. After the PAT,
Carroll held a 7-0 lead with 8:47 remaining in the second quarter.
“We had Bubba (Bartlett) and John (Camino) in there and they both did a tremendous job blocking,” said Wagner
on his 83-yard score. “Corey Peterson stuck his block and those are the only reasons I ended up scoring. I just
tried to run as fast as I could – I’m sure it wasn’t the prettiest form, but I don’t care. I am so excited to be a part of
this opportunity. I was in the right place at the right time and the right play was called and we scored a touchdown.”
On the ensuing possession, Sioux Falls went to work offensively. In their best drive of the first half, the Cougars
mixed in run and pass and drove 63 yards in 11 plays for the touchdown. Sophomore Jordan Taylor found the end
zone from one yard out on a third-down play. With 3:02 showing on the clock, the score was tied at 7-7.
Carroll looked to take a lead heading into the locker room and had a chance to do so. The Fighting Saints drove
to the USF 21-yard line, but a Yaremko attempt hit the left upright this time.
The second half was much of the same story, with both defenses making plays when they had to. Carroll moved
the ball enough offensively that they won the field-position battle. The Fighting Saints pinned USF deep in its own
territory twice in the third quarter. Because of that, the game stayed tied at 7-7 into the fourth frame.

2010 National Championship Recap
After a third-quarter that saw Carroll move the ball twice into USF territory, the rushing game of the Fighting Saints took over. Starting at its own 41-yard line, Carroll rushed
the ball 12 times on a 15-play drive. Camino ate up 25 hard-earned yards on the ground. The result of the lengthy seven-minute drive was a 22-yard field goal from Yaremko,
his first in three attempts.
With 7:47 left in the fourth quarter, Carroll held the slimmest of leads at 10-7.
Playing with a sense of urgency, the Sioux Falls’ offense clicked after the Carroll score. Eastman and company drove to the Carroll 31-yard line, before stalling. After three
incompletions and a sack, Sioux Falls turned the ball over on downs.
But, Sioux Falls still got another chance after holding Carroll to a three-and-out. After a Carroll punt, Sioux Falls started its drive at its own 37-yard line with :26 left and no
timeouts. Eastman found Ryan on two, 10-plus yard passes and Sioux Falls was in business. After a completion to junior Mike Hicks, the Cougars moved to the Carroll
29-yard line. That set up a chance for Wieking to be the hero and send the game to overtime.
Wieking’s kick had plenty of distance from 46-yards out but was a few yards wide left.
Ryan, who was recognized as the 2010 Rawlings-NAIA National Football Player of the Year last night, ended his career with 90 receiving yards on seven catches. Eastman
was 18-for-32 for 172 passing yards.
For Carroll, Wagner went 12-for-21 through the air for 107 yards. But, it was his feet that were difference. Bartlett hauled in five catches for 45 yards and junior Matt Ritter
posted five receptions for 39 yards. The defensive hero for Carroll was AFCA All-American Thomas Dolan with six total tackles, including 2.0 tackles-for-loss.
With 17 total tackles, Sioux Falls’ Anderson was named the Outstanding Defensive Player of the Game.
Championship Outstanding Offensive Player of the Game: Gary Wagner, Carroll
Championship Outstanding Defensive Player of the Game: Eric Anderson, Sioux Falls
Notes: Carroll comes to within one National Championship title of the all-time mark of seven, which is held by Texas A&I… The Fighting Saints win their 36th postseason
game, which ties Sioux Falls for the most in NAIA history… The 42-game winning streak for Sioux Falls was the third-longest in any division of collegiate football – Mount
Union (Ohio) out of the NCAA Division III posted a 55-game streak during the 2000-03 seasons… Since 2000, the No. 2-ranked team improves to 5-2 in the National
Championship game… The No. 1-ranked team falls to 2-4 when playing the No. 2-ranked team, since 2000.

Cougars win fourth title overall, second straight
Dec. 19, 2009
ROME, Ga. - Placekicker Braden Wieking hit three field goals and helped lead No. 1 University of Sioux Falls
(S.D.) to its fourth national title after a 25-22 win against No. 3 Lindenwood University (Mo.) in the Russell
Athletic-NAIA Football National Championship from Barron Stadium in Rome, Ga. In front of 5,000 fans, the game
showcased the nation’s top two offenses and ended with five lead changes.
The Cougars (15-0) have now won back-to-back titles and have their third ring in four tries. The win is their 29th
straight win on the year, which is a school record.
“Winning a championship never gets old,” said Sioux Falls head coach Kalen DeBoer, who wrapped up his fifth
season with a 67-3 record. “Today was an unbelievable day for our program. These guys on the field poured their
hearts out.
“We have a ton of respect for this Lindenwood team today. We knew that they were going to bring it and you
could see the reason why they got here. That’s a tribute to our guys and how they handled the ups and downs.
Championships are won by how guys handle adversity and that is what we did today.”
With both teams scoring over 700 points each this year, they got off to slow starts offensively. Lindenwood gained
just one first down in the first quarter and 17 total yards. Despite 142 yards in the first 15 minutes, Sioux Falls
netted just five points. However, these two teams just needed the first quarter to warm up.
Wieking hit his first 40-yard field-goal in the game, this one coming from 41 yards out to give USF a 3-0 advantage
with :54 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
On Lindenwood’s first play on the ensuing possession, quarterback Philip Staback committed a miscue deep in
his own territory. Standing in the shot gun in his end zone, Staback let the ball slip through his hands on the snap.
He was able to pounce on the ball for a safety. That helped Sioux Falls to a 5-0 lead just seconds later.
Just three minutes into the second period, Wieking connected on a 37-yarder to hand the Cougars an 8-0 edge.
At that point, Lindenwood was searching for some offense and they got it from a reliable source.
Staback, who has passed for over 3,300 yards this season and 34 touchdowns, hit Matt Bramow for a 19-yard
touchdown strike with 7:30 to go in the second. That catch was Bramow’s 11th touchdown catch of the year, which
tied him for the single-season Lindenwood record. At that point, Lindenwood got to within a 8-7 score.
After holding Sioux Falls to its only three-and-out of the day, the Lindenwood offense heated up with Bramow
catching a ball from nine-yards out from Staback. That snare set a school record with 4:14 showing on the clock
before the half. At that point, Lindenwood led 14-8.
Sioux Falls threatened with under a minute remaining in the quarter. Facing a fourth-down-and-one and the
Lindenwood six-yard line, Sioux Falls quarterback Lorenzo Brown was stuffed by Lindenwood’s Logen Wright.
That stop preserved a 14-8 halftime Lindenwood lead.
Sioux Falls trailed at the half for the first time this year.
The deficit for Sioux Falls didn’t last long. Sophomore Adam Lopez returned the second-half kickoff 91 yards
for a score. That return was his second of the year and the first in Championship action since 2006. Sioux Falls
grabbed a 15-14 lead at that point and seemingly took momentum.
In keeping with the theme of the second half, Lindenwood’s Denodus O’Bryant found the end zone on a 45-yard
run at the 11:39 mark of the third quarter. Staback ran in the two-point conversion to cap a 6 play-63 yard drive
and the Lions led 22-15.
The next time Lopez got his hands on the ball for Sioux Falls, he ran it back 61-yards on the kickoff to give the
Cougars excellent field position at the Lindenwood 26. Three plays later, running back Ryan Lowmiller put Sioux
Falls in a 22-22 deadlock after a 2-yard rushing score at the 9:45 mark of the third.
From there, both teams went to work on defense.
With Sioux Falls threatening, Lindenwood linebacker Dan Carlisle stepped in front of a pass from Brown and
picked it off in the end zone. That play negated a 13-play drive for Sioux Falls near the end of the third quarter.

2009 National Championship Recap
That was Brown’s second interception that he threw in the game and first time all year he tossed two picks.
However, the Sioux Falls defense and running game came through when it counted. Overall, Lindenwood gained just 233 yards of offense, well below its season average
of 512 yards of offense. On the ground, Sioux Falls finished with 178 yards and Lowmiller had a big chunk of that (115 yards).
The score remained tied until the Outstanding Offensive Player of the Game, Wieking, nailed a 42-yarder with 9:50 left in the game. That game-winner was Wieking’s third
field goal of the day and, for him, was hard to describe emotionally.
“Just being here with these guys and knowing that I can contribute for these 20 seniors means a lot to me,” said Wieking. “It’s an emotion that is hard to explain (on kicking
the game-winner) and I am proud to be around a great bunch of guys.”
Sioux Falls finished with 376 yards of offense and controlled the clock for nearly 41 minutes. However, the two costly turnovers by Brown inside the red zone were costly.
Staback went 16-of-26 for 144 yards and two touchdowns for the Lions. O’Bryant rushed for 60 yards on just six attempts but the yardage gave him enough to finish his
season with exactly 1,000 rushing yards.
For Sioux Falls, Brown passed for 198 yards going 15-for-24 with no touchdowns and two interceptions. On top of Lowmiller’s rushing, Brown had 41 net yards on 19
carries.
Defensively, Dominic Studzinski had a team-high of seven tackles (five solo) to go along with 2.0 sacks. For his efforts, Studzinski was named the Outstanding Defensive
Player of the Game.
Lindenwood was led on the defensive side by Brandon Gould and Parks Peterson, who each tallied eight tackles apiece.
Game Notes and Trends
• Sioux Falls kicker Braden Wieking hit three field goals today, which continues his hot streak of making at least two fields in each of his last three games.
• His three field goals was one shy of the Championship record.
• The two 40-plus yard field goals by Wieking is the first for a kicker to hit one field goal past 40 yards in Championship play since records are available since 1997.
• By passing for two touchdowns, Lindenwood’s Philip Staback now has tossed at least a pair of TDs this year 12 times, including his last six games.
• With a safety and a kickoff return for a touchdown today, Sioux Falls now has posted 96 points this year on defense and special teams. That point total is more than four
NAIA teams have scored on offense this year.
• The 22 points allowed by Sioux Falls is the most since giving up 31 against Morningside (Iowa) on Nov. 15, 2008.
• The 91-yard kickoff return by Sioux Falls Adam Lopez in the third quarter was a first in the championship since Cougar Trey Erickson went 89 yards for a score during the
2006 title game.
• In the first quarter, the team safety recorded by Sioux Falls was the first such occurrence since 1998.
• The two teams scored a combined 22 points in the span of five-plus minutes to open the second half. They had scored 22 points total in the first 30 minutes of the
game.
• The three-point margin of victory was the smallest since a 15-13 Carroll (Mont.) win over St. Francis (Ind.) in the 2004 championship.
• According to Tex Noel research, Sioux Falls finishes with the third-highest total ever among any level of college football scoring 775 points. Lindenwood tallied 744 total
points, which ranks eighth on this list.
• The No. 1 versus No. 3 match-up was the first time that the top-two ranked teams did not meet in the National Championship since 2004.
• The battle between No. 1 and No. 3 marked the seventh time in NAIA history that this occurred. The last time was No. 1 East Central (Okla.) falling to No. 3 Central
Arkansas in 1984. As the third ranked team, Central Arkansas is the only team on record that defeated the top-ranked team. No. 1 teams improve to 6-1 overall in
Championship play when facing a No. 3-ranked team.
• With both teams sporting an undefeated record heading the game, both participants have now had an unblemished record heading into the last five National
Championships.
• Sioux Falls breaks a streak of No. 1 teams falling to “underdogs” in recent memory. Before today, the last three years have seen the No. 1 team fall to the second-ranked
program.
• With Sioux Falls winning the Championship today, it has either been Sioux Falls or Carroll (Mont.) taking the title since 2002. Georgetown (Ky.), who has three national
trophies, won it all in 2001.
• Sioux Falls wins its fourth national title overall. The title ties them for fifth on the NAIA all-time list with Findlay (Ohio) for most championships won.
• Sioux Falls is 4-2 all-time when playing in the National Championship. This was Lindenwood’s first appearance in the National Championship.
• The Sioux Falls seniors have put together an impressive resume: 56-1 record, three national championships, a 44-game home winning streak (never lost a home game)
and 43-game conference winning streak.
• After Sioux Falls quarterback Lorenzo Brown was named the Rawlings-NAIA Player of the Year on Friday, the team that the MVP has played on improves to 6-4. Before
this year, the Player of the Year had been on the losing end in each of the last three Championship games.

2008 National Championship Recap
ROME, Ga. – The University of Sioux Falls (S.D.) held Carroll (Mont.) College to 194 yards of total offense in earning a 23-7 win in the 2008 Russell Athletic-NAIA Football
National Championship today (Dec. 20) from Barron Stadium. The title is USF’s third overall and second in the last three years. Sioux Falls (14-0), which set a school season
record with 83 points allowed, avenges a 17-9 loss in the 2007 National Championship to Carroll.
The Championship Offensive Most Valuable Player, USF junior quarterback Lorenzo Brown, finished with 129 rushing yards on 19 carries (6.8 ypc) and 69 passing yards
for one touchdown.
“It definitely feels good to win a national title,” said Brown, who becomes the third Cougar to be named Offensive MVP and first since quarterback Chad Cavender won it
during the 2006 Championship title run. “This takes a huge burden off of my shoulders.”
The 53rd event, hosted by Shorter College and Rome, Floyd County, came down to turnovers and field possession. Played in a steady rain for much of the game, the field
was slick and muddy from the start. However, Brown mentions that the field conditions did not necessarily affect his play.
“The field held up pretty nice,” said Brown, “I was making my cuts and not really thinking about it.”
There was not much offense in the first quarter until the USF defense handed its offense great field position. Ranked No. 1 in the country in all major statistical categories,
the USF defensive unit proved why in its first defensive stand. Carroll began its offense at the 17-yard line, but lost 10 yards on three plays and was forced to punt on a
three-and-out. That gave USF great field possession after the punt.
The Cougars started at their own 43-yard line with 9:19 on the clock. Ten plays later, senior Matt Lindgren capped the drive with a 24-yard field goal. He handed the Cougars
a 3-0 lead at the 3:16 mark of the first quarter. Brown rushed for 31 yards on four attempts during that drive.
The Carroll offense did not do much better on its second possession. Two rushes and one incomplete pass yielded minus-seven yards and USF was again in great position
to force the pressure. Despite not gaining a first down on their ensuing possession, the Cougars of USF were holding an advantage in field position. On Carroll’s third
possession, the Saints went without a first down and had to punt for the third straight time.
On the ensuing punt attempt, junior Kyle Cummings reached punter Zach Thiry and blocked the kick. The ball was then scooped up by sophomore Joe Moen at the 10-yard
line. Moen returned it 10 yards and with 13:13 to go in the second quarter, the Cougars had the momentum and led 10-0.
Carroll appeared to hit an offensive stride on its next possession, going 42 yards, but the drive was thwarted on a lost fumble by freshman quarterback Matt Ritter. USF
looked to go up 13-0 just before halftime but a 27-yard field goal attempt by Lindgren missed.
A Carroll offense, coming into the game with an average of 220.3 yards on the ground, tallied just 36 yards on 21 rushes in the first half.
Midway through the third, the Carroll offense put together an impressive 14-play drive but stalled at the USF 12-yard line. Down 10-0, the Saints needed to put at least some
points on the board. But, a 19-yard field goal attempt by Thiry missed and the energy was deflated from the Carroll sidelines.
Sioux Falls seemingly put the game out of reach, thanks once again to the dynamic offensive skill of Brown. He used his running ability to break down the Carroll defense
all day but he proved that he could pass the ball effectively. With 7:04 left in the game, he found a streaking Jon Ryan on the left sideline for a 54-yard touchdown pass.
Carroll avoided the shut-out less than a minute later when Ritter connected with wide receiver Travis Browne for a 39-yard touchdown. After a Connor Janhunen PAT kick,
Carroll trailed 17-7.
The defense, which carried the team all season, put a trademark on the USF win. Forcing their fourth turnover of the day, the Cougars added a defensive touchdown late.
Carroll’s Ritter was pressured in the pocket and fumbled the ball away, which was jumped on by junior Drew DeGroot. He rambled 30 yards into the endzone and the
Cougars secured their third National Championship.
“This (moment) feels a lot better than when we lost last year,” said USF head coach Kalen DeBoer at his post-game press conference speech. “I feel really good with our
effort and we continued to work. People didn’t see anything flashy today. We just let our guys play football because we have some very talented players.”
On the defensive side of the ball, Cummings was named the Championship Defensive Most Valuable Player. The junior linebacker had five total tackles (2 solo), 2.0 tacklesfor-loss, 1.0 sack and the blocked punt that sprung life into Sioux Falls in the second quarter.
For Carroll, Ritter went 12-for-22 passing on the day for 132 yards. He threw two interceptions along with one touchdown. Sophomore John Camino rushed for a team-high
48 yards on 13 carries. Rawlings-NAIA Player of the Year, linebacker Owen Koeppen, led the Saints with nine total tackles including six solo stops.
The defensive numbers for Sioux Falls were again staggering. The Cougars compiled four sacks, forced two fumbles, picked off two passes and held Carroll to 1.6 yards
per carry (62 total rushing yards.). No opposing rusher reached 50 yards against the USF defense in any game this season.
Carroll ends its season with a 13-1 record and had its 28-game winning streak snapped.
