THE STORY OF WMU FOOTBALLby Mark Brohan and John Beatty(Post-2005 additions made by Mat Kanan)

In the fall of 1906 when player-coach Melvin “Tubby” Myers and his 14-member West-ern State Normal College team took the field against Michigan State Normal School (later Eastern Michigan), they were trying something new. It was, after all, the first competition in the newly organized club sport of football, and the experience of the veteran Ypsilanti school proved too much as the visitors came home after a 14-5 loss. Two more games were played that first year.

HILLTOPPERS UNDER SPAULDINGIn 1907, President Dwight Waldo elevated the club varsity status and hired the team’s first coach in Bill Spaulding. Spaulding, an All-Western halfback from Wabash College, coached Western from 1907-21. Myers, a back and legend at Kalamazoo High School, ranked as the school’s top player of those early years.

During Spaulding’s initial tenure, the schedule was played against area colleges plus high school and other Normal schools. The typical squad size was 12-14 players. Known as a good recruiter, Spaulding first brought Western notoriety in 1909 when the Hilltoppers went undefeated (7-0) and outscored the opposition, 194-8. Home games were played on a field adjacent to the old Woodward Elementary School. In 1913, the Hilltoppers moved closer to campus and played home games on the new-ly-constructed field near the present day Seelye Center. The program expanded in World War I and WSTC began to develop a name for itself.

The 1916 team, led by all-time Western gridiron greats Sam Dunlap and Walt Olsen, outscored its opposition, 398-38, and topped the country in scoring. Olsen, from Elkhart, Ind., started as a fullback and later played quarterback. He led the nation in scoring with 17 touchdowns and 36 extra points. Olsen scored 253 points in his four-year career and a school-record eight touchdowns in a single game. Dunlap, a Benton Harbor native, was runner-up behind him with 19 touchdowns and five extra points in 1916. The 19 touchdowns was an unmatched school record until Jerome Persell had the same number in 1976. Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne termed Dunlap one of the most talented athletes he’d ever seen.

The Hilltoppers’ only loss in six games in 1916 came at the hands of the Notre Dame freshmen squad and the game was a memorable one. Irish immortal George Gipp had a successful 62-yard drop kick for the longest play of this nature in football his-tory.

In 1918, Western had its biggest win ever, a 103-0 victory over Hillsdale. Spaulding concluded his Western coaching career in 1921 and had an overall record of 62-25-3. He went on to coach at Minnesota and UCLA and was enshrined in the College FootballHall of Fame.

HIGH SCORIN’ IN THE ROARIN’ TWENTIESThe teams of 1922 and 1923 were coached by former Illinois standout Milton Olan-der. The 1922 team rolled to victories in all six games and outscored its opposition, 160-0. That squad was centered and captained by Leo “Tiny” Redmond, a 290-pounder from Kalamazoo, who could run 100 yards in 11 seconds, a very good time in those days.Olander’s 1923 team enjoyed a 6-1-1 campaign and had a 160-21 scoring edge. Olander then returned to Illinois where he eventually became athletic director.

Another player of that era, end Rudel “Rudy” Miller (1920-23), was cited for All-Ameri-can honors by the legendary Walter Eckersall. Miller won a school-record 14 letters. Over the next five seasons, WMU was guided by Earl Martineau as squad sizes grew

to 25 players.

NEW NAME, SAME LEAGUEIn 1927, Western State Normal became known as Western State Teachers College and joined four other schools to form the Michigan Collegiate League.

Martineau left after the 1928 season to take a position in Minnesota and was re-placed by former Golden Gopher All-Big Ten lineman Mitchell J. “Mike” Gary, who was beginning nearly 40 years of service at Western. Gary was primarily known as a fundamentals coach. During his first season, Western tied for the league champion-ship and had a 5-2-1 overall mark. The brightest victory came by a 14-6 count at Lombard College in Illinois on that school’s homecoming. Lombard entered the game undefeated in the Little Nineteen of Illinois and hadn’t lost a homecoming game in six years.

GARY STABILIZES PROGRAMFielding a football team in the Depression Era was becoming increasingly difficult for Michigan colleges and the situation at Western State Teachers College was no exception.

Scholarships and grants were a thing of the future and the only relief provided by the school was the security of on-campus jobs. Coach Gary had 11 jobs he could split among the team. President Dwight Waldo was credited with keeping the program going in these years until his retirement in the mid-30s.

Despite the financial crunch, WMU continued to field some quality teams. The 1930 squad went 5-1-1 as the highest scoring team in the state with 192 points. The season’s offensive highlight was a 52-0 drubbing of Detroit City College (now Wayne State) in which Lou Elenbaas, a 5-7, 148-pound halfback from Holland, gained 159 yards on 14 carries. A 95-yard touchdown run by quarterback Clarence Frendt that day is still the school record for the longest rush.

The 1932 club enjoyed a 6-0-1 season and was only one of 14 teams nationwide to

“Mike” Gary became WMU’s fifth head coach in the fall of 1929. During his playing days as an All-Big Ten standout at Minnesota, he blocked for the great Bronko Nagurski.

go undefeated. Many observers felt that a 0-0 tie with DePaul, in which both teams missed scoring opportunities, was one of Western’s greatest defensive battles. The team outscored its opponents, 174-6, and received an 80-yard touchdown run from John Miller in a 7-0 win over St. Viator. Following an opening loss to Detroit (25-7), the 1934 squad rallied to win its final seven starts. In the fourth game of the fall, the Hilltoppers upset DePaul, 13-0, to end a 15-game Blue Demon winning streak. Gary’s men also blanked Iowa State Teachers (now Northern Iowa), 7-0, to win the mythical teachers’ college championship of the Midwest.

Two memorable upsets were pulled off in the 1935 season. WMU defeated Butler, 19-7, a team which had won seven straight and had given up only two scores in win-ning the Indiana Conference titles. Heavy media attention for the Butler game helped provide additional recognition the next week when WMU defeated West Chester State (Pa.) by a 7-6 margin. For the first time, WSTC played a Big Ten varsity team, the University of Chicago Maroons coached by the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg and featuring Jay Berwanger, the first Heisman Trophy winner. The visitors from Kalama-zoo lost 31-6.

The dominant player of the 1930s was guard Ray Bray of Vulcan, Mich., who was a Second Team Little All-American as a senior in 1938. That team had a 4-3 mark with all victories coming via shutouts. Bray went on to a 10-year career with powerful Chi-cago Bears clubs, earned All-Pro honors four times and enshrinement into the Helms Major League Football Hall of Fame.

THE OPENING OF WALDO STADIUMAs the 1930s ended, Western Michigan braced for the next decade with a new sta-dium and a nickname. The present Bronco nickname was adopted in 1939 in order to avoid confusion with other Hilltopper teams of the day such as Western Kentucky and Marquette. The nickname “Broncos” was submitted by former standout player and then assistant coach John Gill.

Waldo Stadium opened in 1939 and featured the latest in Kentucky bluegrass and a modern press box. The stadium opener marked WMU’s first-ever meeting against

Miami as the Broncos came away with a 6-0 win. Dave Kribs, holder of several school punt return andinterception records, scored the lone touchdown of the afternoon.

In 1940, a junior from Hamtramck, Mich., Horace “Hap” Coleman showed promise by running back kickoffs of 86 and 75 yards for touchdowns. With Coleman returning to the lineup for 1941, Western had its first unbeaten and untied season in 19 years. No opponent scored more than seven points.

Gary used a “T” formation and Bronco TDs came from long range as they outscored their opponents, 183-27. Coleman scored 12 touchdowns for the 8-0 team and av-eraged seven yards per carry. He was supported by another explosive back in Art Macioszczyk. Among the 1941 linemen was Jack Matheson, who went on to play with the Detroit Lions while Macioszczyk played with the Philadelphia Eagles. WMU ranked ninth nationally in total offense and punter/end Bob Metzger joined Coleman on the Little All-American team. Gary stepped down from coaching following 1941 with a record of 59-34-5 and was replaced by Gill.

THE WAR YEARSFollowing a fine 8-0 season in 1941, Gary left Western Michigan to enter naval service in World War II. He was replaced by backfield coach John Gill, who had been a stand-out four-sport athlete at the school during the 1920s.

The year 1942 was significant for college football because of the waiving of the fresh-man rule during the war. Gill continued to use the “T” formation Gary had installed and also had 10 freshmen. Injuries hit the backfield heavily, so Gill rarely had the same personnel in successive games. After a 21-0 opening game loss to Dayton in heavy rain and mud, the team came back to win its last five contests. Center Bill Yambrick was the most valuable player on that fine club which also included backfield stars Coleman and Macioszczyk.

Consistency, however, would prove to be an elusive quality for the Broncos during the rest of the 1940s. The war, with its constant need for new men, drained the football program of able-bodied players. In 1943, with naval and marine corps reserve units on campus, the squad was composed almost entirely of service men.

WMU played Michigan for the first time since World War I and lost 57-6 while the other defeat on the 4-2 season came by a 32-6 margin to the Great Lakes Naval Station team.

In 1944, Western Michigan was hard-hit by injuries in early games with Wabash Col-lege (20-0 win) and Bunker Hill Naval Air Base (33-6, loss) but still had a 4-3 record, including a 27-0 victory over Wooster College in the final game. To give you an idea of the type of talent available to service teams of that day, Bunker Hill’s lineup included Northwestern halfback Vic Schwall and All-American end Mal Kutner from Texas, both later were to star with the Chicago Cardinals. A Bronco passing standout was Ray “Red” Louthen, later an athletic director at Ball State.

Nearly all of the 1944 Broncos were members of the V-12 naval program, which brought men fresh from high school. The loss of several V-12 players in mid-season of 1945 forced Gill to resort to an all civilian team, which created a problem of having to build two teams in the same year. Whatever the team lacked in experience and reserve strength, it more than made up for in aggressiveness and finished with a 4-3 mark. On October 13, in what Western thought was going to be its final game with the V-12 players, the Broncos faced unbeaten and unscored upon Miami and lost by a narrow 21-13 tally.

Known simply as “Mr. Bronco,” John Gill (1919-22) earned 13 var-sity letters, second most in school history. He went on to serve his alma mater as head coach and administrator.

WMU JOINS THE MACWhat might be termed the beginning of WMU’s modern football history occurred in February, 1946, when Butler, Cincinnati, Ohio, Wayne State, and Western Reserve formed the Mid-American Conference.

A crowd of 11,000, then the second-largest to see a game in Waldo Stadium, wit-nessed a 14-0 win over Northern Iowa in 1947. Carl Schiller, who had previously played in 1943, returned to catch 47 passes in 1947. WMU and Miami were admitted to the MAC in the spring of 1947; however, neither school competed in the football race until the next year.

The Broncos then fielded a strong team under the leadership of guard Emerson Grossman and fullback Art Gillespie in 1948, recording a 6-3 record and a 3-1 league slate. They won their season and MAC opener, 26-0, over Western Reserve. The following week, Western had an impressive 33-0 win at Beloit as the home team was able to gather just two first downs. Center Chuck Schoolmaster was the first Bronco to win All-MAC honors.

The Brown and Gold began the 1950s with a sophomore-oriented squad that was not deep in personnel. There was hope that mistakes caused by inexperience would be offset by youthful eagerness. Co-captains Pat Clysdale and Bill Zabonick provided a steadying influence as the club came through with a 5-4 record. The season started with a 40-13 win over Northern Illinois in the first-ever meeting between the schools. The season was highlighted by a 54-19 win over Toledo, newly-admitted to the MAC.

The 1951 squad had an even split for eight games. In a 12-7 win over Washington (Mo.) University, Chuck Higgins and Len Johnston hooked up on an 83-yard touch-down pass. Defensively, Floyd Stollsteimer had nine interceptions picking up the first of two All-MAC First Team awards.

The 1952 team had heavy graduation losses and wasn’t expected to win more than two games, however, it finished with another 4-4 mark. Higgins hit 57 passes for 868 yards in what was Gill’s final year as head coach. Gill never had a losing record

during his WMU tenure.

Finding Gill’s replacement was an easy choice as the 1953 season unfolded. The new man at the helm was Jack Petoskey, a standout end at Michigan in the 1940s and Gill’s assistant. Over the next four years, WMU produced a 8-25-2 record and Merle Schlosser became the coach in 1957. Schlosser, an assistant at Missouri, inherited a 2-7 team and improved the team to 4-4-1.

Lovell Coleman, a sophomore from Hamtramck, Mich., debuted in 1957. He broke open a 33-0 win over Central Michigan with touchdown runs of 33 and 61 yards in the seasons opener and later had a 100-yard kickoff return against Marshall. Lovell, a half-brother of 1940s Bronco great “Hap” Coleman, had a much bigger year in 1958. He scored 15 touchdowns and 94 points, the best Western showing since the Sam Dunlap-Walt Olsen era 40 years earlier. Lovell gained a then-school record 1,068 yards and averaged 6.1 per carry. A national leader in both rushing and scoring, Cole-man also had another 100-yard kickoff return. His 279 rushing yards in the season opener with Central Michigan is still a school single-game record.

The 1958 and 1959 teams had 4-5 records as the latter squad experienced a slow start because of injuries to quarterback Ed Chlebek, later a head coach at Eastern Michigan, Boston College and Kent State. Chlebek passed for 2,290 yards from 1959-61, including 1,109 as a senior, hitting 73 of 129 attempts. Coleman was also slowed by nagging injuries and a shoulder separation but still gained 446 yards. Dur-ing the 1959 season, Western pounded Washington University, 78-0, for its most lopsided modern era win, gaining 588 yards in the process.

Coleman, who went on to a lengthy professional career in Canada, finished his three-year career with then-school record marks for rushing (1,918) and kickoff return (694) yardage while placing second in scoring with 188 points. He had respective punt andkickoff return averages of 22.4 and 27.8 yards.

THE BRONCOS GO BOWLINGThe 1961 Broncos had a 5-4-1 season but finished second in the MAC (4-1-1), a half-game behind Bowling Green. The team appeared in the Aviation Bowl in Day-ton, Ohio, where it lost 28-12 to a New Mexico eleven that featured Dallas Cowboys standout DonPerkins. The game was played in freezing rain and snow but Chlebek passed for over 200 yards. Tackle John Lomakoski was selected to appear in the Senior Bowl.

The next Western Michigan quarterback of note was Roger Theder, later to be the coach of several top passers at California-Berkeley. THE DOOLITTLE ERABill Doolittle took over the reins in 1964 and opened with a 10-7 win at Louisville. A former quarterback at Ohio State, Doolittle had come to Western after being Paul Dietzel’s offensive coordinator at Army, and never lost a season opener over 11 sea-sons.

From a 3-6 record in 1964, the Broncos improved to 6-2-1 the next year and were third in the MAC.

The 1966 campaign saw Western end 7-3 and tie Miami for the school’s first MAC title as both finished 5-1 in loop play. The Broncos lost the MAC opener at Miami, 26-7, and then went on to win five straight. The Redskins lost their fifth game, 17-14, to Bowling Green at home. In the final week of league play, Miami beat Toledo 24-12, while the Broncos kept pace with a 20-13 win over Ohio. Tackle Bob Rowe captured his second MAC Lineman of the Year Award and went on to a 10-year NFL career with the St. Louis Cardinals.

A snowstorm hit Kalamazoo that final weekend and Doolittle, assistant coaches, play-ers and administrators helped shovel the field. In the game, fullback Tim Majerle car-ried 45 times for 203 yards. The regular quarterback in 1967 was Jim Boreland who erased all earlier passing marks with 74 completions for 1,113 yards. His 267-yard production at Brigham Young was at the time a single-game standard. Defensive end Jerry Collins and safety Dave Hudson were both cited for All-MAC acclaim in 1967 and 1968. Mark Bordeaux took over the passing chores the latter season and proceeded to set then-school records for yards (1,143), attempts (171), and completions (83). In 1962, WMU was on the losing end of a 53-36 game against Mercury Morris led West Texas State team as Bordeaux hit 18 of 33 for 264 yards.

In 1969 Doolittle installed the Houston Veer attack while at the same time assem-bling some top flight defensive players. These ingredients produced .700 seasons the following three years.

The top runner of that period was Roger “Ramjet” Lawson, who gained 1,250 yards in 1970 and led the nation’s collegians with a 7.2 yard average per carry. Lawson ended with 2,018 yards and was the school’s first career 2,000-yard runner. Greg Flaska was a tough blocking tight end but still caught 69 passes from 1968-70. Quarterback Ted Grignon (1969-71) directed the veer attack and passed for 2,462 yards and had 3,627 yards in total offense.

Guard Larry Ulmer, a third-team All-American guard in 1972, anchored a big line that provided holes for Lawson and Larry Cates, who picked up over 1,800 career yards in the early 1970s. Defensive standouts of the era were All-MAC picks Vern Davis, safety; Bill Slater, end; cornerback Vern Brown; tackle Bernie Thomas; outside line-backer Greg Igaz; and middle linebackers Tom Elias and Dominic Riggio. The latter was runner-up to Kent State’s Jack Lambert as MAC Defensive Player of the Year in 1972, while Brown had a 100-yard TD interception return against Brigham Young in 1970.

THE MOVE TO DIVISION 1-AWMU and the MAC moved up to Division I-A competition during the 1960s and played far-ranging schools, scheduling Minnesota, Wisconsin, Louisville, West Texas State, Long Beach State, Brigham Young, Pacific, Fresno State, and Texas-Arlington. The MAC underwent change as well, becoming a 10-team league in the 1970s with the addition of Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Ball State, and Northern Illinois.

In 1972, the Broncos were second nationally in rushing defense giving up 89.1 yards per game. All-MAC safety Ron Karlis, meanwhile, intercepted eight passes and re-turned them a MAC-record 274 yards. He finished with 313 career return yards on 15 thefts. The following year, Waldo Stadium was expanded from 19,000 to 25,000 seats and artificial turf was installed.

Elliot Uzelac, a shot put champion as a Bronco undergrad, succeeded Doolittle as

head coach in 1975, a year in which senior fullback Dan Matthews became the third 2,000-yard career rusher. Matthews hit that figure on the nose when he carried 43 times for 233 yards in his final game against Eastern Michigan. The Broncos snapped a 14-game losing skid in that game with a 24-14 victory after which the goal posts were torn down by excited students.

PERSELL MAKES HIS PRESENCE KNOWNWestern Michigan’s 1976 team made a remarkable comeback, from 1-10 the previ-ous year to 7-4, and also handed league champ Ball State its only MAC setback. Uzelac was an almost unanimous choice for MAC Coach of the Year as the Broncos were the nation’s second-most improved team. Sophomore tailback Jerome Persell gained 241 yards in the season opener with Eastern Michigan and didn’t stop there. By season’s end, Persell had picked up 1,505 yards to rank No. 2 nationally behind Pitt’s Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett. He scored 19 TDs to equal Sam Dunlap’s school record, which had been set in 1916. Persell was a third-team All-American and won the first of his three MAC Offensive Player of the Year awards while WMU’s defense led the country in passing yield.

The 1977 club was picked to win the league crown, however, it came in at 4-7 as 22 surgical operations constantly depleted front line talent and depth. Six of the games were lost by 29 combined points, including a slim 10-7 loss at Minnesota as the Gophers kicked a last-second field goal after blocking a punt. Persell was a second-team All-American gaining 1,339 yards to finish behind Heisman winner Earl Campbell of Texas and Oklahoma State’s Terry Miller on the national level.

The 1978 team came back to post a 7-4 record. Persell gained 1,346 yards that year and became the third runner in NCAA Division I-A history to top 4,000 yards in just three seasons. In the process, he tied a then-NCAA record with three straight 200-yard performances.

The injury bug hit again in 1979 as the Broncos got off to a 1-5 start. They rebounded with five straight wins to become only one of 18 Division I-A clubs to enjoy a win-ning campaign after an identical opening record. Freshman Larry Caper continued

Mid-American Conference co-Champions — 1966. It was the pro-gram’s first conference title.

Jerome Persell rushed for 1,505 yards in 1976, finishing second nation-ally to Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett. Gifted with tremendous leg strength, Persell became just the third runner in NCAA Division I-A history to compile 4,000 rushing yards over three seasons.

a Bronco tradition by leading the MAC rushers with 844 yards while Craig Morrow ranked second in 1980 with 778.

Tough blocking fullback Bobby Howard was cited for All-MAC acclaim and gradually approached the career 2,000-yard running mark, which he topped early in 1980. The 1979 defense, paced by tackle Matt Murphy, linebacker Eric Manns, and cornerback Pat Humes, ranked No. 3 nationally versus the rush and No. 6 in total defense. It gave up just 16 points during the five-game victory string at year’s end.

The 1981 season produced a 6-5 record and was highlighted by defensive tackle Al-len Hughes being picked for All-MAC honors for a second straight year. One-time walk on split end Bob Phillips won All-MAC honors for the first of two times. He set then school season records for receptions (53) and receiving yards (809).

JOHN OFFERDAHL ANCHORS THE DEFENSE Jack Harbaugh took over as Western Michigan’s head coach for 1982, coming to Kalamazoo after a stint as defensive coordinator at Stanford. He nearly won the MAC his first year going 7-2-2 overall and finishing second in the league at 5-2-2. The Broncos bowed 7-3 in the fourth game of the season to eventual champ Bowling Green on the road. That team also led the nation in scoring defense, giving up 7.1 points per game. The last scholarship — and a half one at that — awarded that year was to a 185-pound linebacker from Ft. Atkinson, Wis., named John Offerdahl. He made a quick impression during fall camp and not only was on full scholarship but also in the starting lineup for the opening game. WMU and seven other MAC schools were classified as Division I-AA during 1982; center Matt Meares received All-Ameri-can honors that year.

Highlights from the 1980s included tough tailback Shawn Faulkner finishing his ca-reer in 1983 with 3,341 yards, including a school record 1,668 as a senior. His 394 carries out of a one-back alignment was 10 shy of a national record. Faulkner, who had been an all-state safety at Port Huron Northern High, liked contact and would often run through a hole looking to punish a defensive back rather than trying to find daylight.

Western Michigan not only won a game against Miami in Oxford, Ohio for the first time since 1940, but snapped that string in dramatic fashion in the 1983 dedication of Yager Stadium as Mike Prindle nailed a 47-yard field goal on the final play for a 20-18 victory.

Offerdahl wrapped up his career in 1985, setting a MAC record for tackles (694), earning third-and second-team All-American honors, and winning most valuable de-fensive honors at the Senior Bowl. He stopped Auburn’s Heisman winner Bo Jackson just shy of the goal line in that contest. He went on to an eight-year career with the Miami Dolphins and was picked for five Pro Bowls. As a senior in 1986, eventual pro Mark Garalczyk would win MAC Defensive Player of the Year acclaim and a spot in the East-West Shrine Game.

MOLDE’S STAFF ARRIVESThe 1987 season signaled the arrival of Al Molde from Eastern Illinois University. Molde had already put in 16 years as a head coach and his staff had over 100 com-bined years of working together. They installed a wide-open offense featuring as many as four wide receivers.

That year produced a 5-6 showing, however junior college transfer and Marine Tony Kimbrough took over the starting quarterback job midway through the season. Split end Jamie Hence, an All-American hurdler in track, caught a league-record 16 passes in the finale at Ohio.

In 1988, the Broncos rolled off a 9-3 season and earned the school’s only trip to the

California Bowl, where they bowed 35-30 to Big West champion Fresno State on the Bulldogs’ home field.

Kimbrough won the Vern Smith Trophy as the Most Valuable Player in the MAC, hitting 186 of 324 passes for 2,465 yards. The team clinched the championship on a rainy November day in Muncie, Ind., beating Ball State 16-13. Another key contest came two weeks before at Ypsilanti, where linebacker Sean Mulhearn and cornerback Bert Henderson stopped an Eastern Michigan running attempt on the one-yard line in the final minute to preserve a 31-24 win. At the end of the year, Eastern was second in the MAC and Ball State third.

The 1988 Broncos were captained by four seniors who won All-MAC honors and were exceptional individual leaders. Besides Kimbrough, they were tackle and eventual New Orleans Saints’ starter Kevin Haverdink, who played with a broken bone in his

leg late in the season; one-time walk on and hard-hitting strong safety Willie Berrios; and linebacker Eric Hoffman, who brought high intelligence to his signal calling and an assassin’s mentality to the point of attack.

Haverdink was a Third Team All-American and appeared in post-season all-star games while Hoffman was runner-up for MAC Defensive Player of the Year honors. Molde was named MAC Coach of the Year.

In 1989, the Broncos were 5-6 as four of the losses, all within the MAC, were by a single point. “True” freshman Brad Tayles beat out two junior college hopefuls in fall camp to win the quarterback job. It also marked the Windsor, Ont., native’s first ex-posure to American football rules; he went on the become MAC Freshman of the Year. Defensive end and eventual pro performer Joel Smeenge finished second in MAC Defensive Player of the Year balloting, recording school career (66) and season (23) records for tackles for loss despite having to battle double-team blocking on virtually every play. At Waldo Stadium, seating capacity was increased to 30,200.

John Offerdahl (#48) joined WMU’s program as an undersized walk-on line-backer and left as the MAC’s most prolific tackler. Best known for his goal line collision with Auburn’s Bo Jackson that stopped the Heisman trophy winner from scoring in the Senior Bowl. Offerdahl went on to have a Pro Bowl career with the Miami Dolphins.

From 1990 through 1996, the Broncos rolled off seven wins a year, going 43-32-2. They were second in the league in 1992 and 1993 and had notable wins at Army (20-7, 1993) and Iowa State (23-19, 1994) plus a tie at TCU (17-17, 1992).

Mulhearn, who had originally come to WMU on a half-scholarship, was the MAC De-fensive Player of the Year in 1990. Mammoth tackle Paul Hutchins (6-6, 335) played in the 1992 Hula Bowl while two years later, multi-talented lineman Tom Nütten was selected for the Hula Bowl and the East-West Shrine Game. Nütten later helped the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV.

The year 1993 also marked the advent of night football at Waldo Stadium, which has become extremely popular. The John Gill Stadium Club and a new press box were added two years later.

Tayles’ successor at quarterback was Jay McDonagh, who had been an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer in Chicago and had been recruited by Iowa State as a defensive back. Despite coming from an option attack in high school, McDonagh ended up passing for 6,148 yards and hitting 59 percent of his attempts from 1993-95. Also wrapping up his career in 1995 was tackle Dion Powell, who joined Smeenge as only the second WMU three-time All-MAC First Team defensive line pick.

The 1996 season saw WMU open with nine losses before winning the final two con-tests of the year. Split end Tony Knox caught a then school-record 71 passes. He ranked 11th in that category and eighth for kickoff return average (27.6). Tim Lester took over at quarterback and completed 203 passes to share MAC Freshman of the Year accolades.

A RESURGENCE UNDER DARNELLGary Darnell, a 27-year veteran of collegiate coaching ranks, was named as the Bronco’s 13th head coach on December 14, 1996. The 1997 season saw him take over a team that was 2-9 overall and post the nation’s most improved record for NCAA Division I-A at 8-3. WMU was picked to finish fifth among six teams in the MAC West Division but ended up second at 6-2. Following a 2-3 start, the Broncos ran off six straight wins, a school high since 1941, and the sixth-longest streak in the nation. Ten true freshmen saw playing time, including fullback and 1,033 yard rusher Robert Sanford, the MAC Freshman of the Year and Second Team Freshman All-American by The Sporting News.

In 1998, WMU posted a 7-4 mark while producing the ninth-best passing attack in the nation, averaging 310.3 yards per game. The Broncos become just the 14th Divi-sion I-A program to produce a 1,000-yard receiver (Steve Neal), a 1,000-yard rusher (Darnell Fields) and a 3,000-yard passer (Tim Lester) in the same season.

Placekicker Brad Selent, a former walk on, was named the inaugural recipient of the MAC Special Teams Player of the Year Award. Selent was named a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, given to the nation’s top kicker. Lester set five school season passing records, including yards (3,311) and touchdown passes (22). WMU opened the season with a 37-23 win over Northern Illinois before a MAC record crowd of 35,107 at Waldo Stadium.

The success under Darnell continued through the 1999 and 2000 seasons, when the Broncos captured back-to-back MAC West Division titles, compiling a record of 16-8 during that span.

MAC WEST DIVISON CHAMPIONSThe 1999 season saw Darnell’s team smash 41 school records and become the first MAC school to clinch a division title in the month of October. The Broncos nearly upset heavily-favored Marshall in the MAC Championship Game, which at the time was the second-most watched college football contest in ESPN2 history. After play-

ing tough at Florida and Missouri, Western Michigan won six straight games. Lester finished his career ranked fifth in NCAA passing yards and seventh in touchdown passes. He also beat out a national field to earn Burger King Scholar Athlete of the Week honors for academic success.

Darnell led WMU to a 9-3 mark in 2000, tying a school record for victories while also matching a standard for league wins with a 7-1 slate. For his efforts, Darnell was named MAC Coach of the Year, receiving 74 percent of the votes. WMU captured its second MAC West Division title, defeating Toledo, 21-14, in a crucial showdown in Waldo Stadium.

A revamped Bronco defense became the fourth-stingiest in the nation, allowing just 11.5 points per game and posting three shutouts — the most since the 1971 season. Darnell spearheaded an eight-game “in-season” winning streak, the longest in 41 seasons, and went unbeaten from Sept. 9-Nov. 4. WMU posted an undefeated record at home (5-0) and either broke or tied 15 school records. The Broncos rose to as high as No. 27 in the national polls. A total of 14 Broncos earned All-MAC honors, the most of any school. Neal left as the MAC’s all-time leading receiver and Selent as the MAC’s all-time leading scorer among kickers. Sanford finished as the school’s all-time leading rusher, and third all-time in MAC annals.

The Broncos recorded their fifth straight season with a MAC record of .500 or better in 2001 and saw seven players receive All-MAC honors, the second-best total in the league (along with Toledo and Northern Illinois). In a season plagued by injuries, Dar-nell’s squad still managed to set or tie 12 school records. Darnell received national recognition when he was named a finalist for the State Farm Eddie Robinson Coach of Distinction Award, joined by Florida’s Steve Spurrier, Air Force’s Fisher DeBerry and South Carolina’s Lou Holtz. WMU also extended its streak of either sharing or being in sole possession of first place in the MAC West Division to 24 consecutive weeks (dating to September 1999).

Playing perhaps the toughest schedule in school history during the 2002 season,

Jason Babin captured the second of two MAC Defensive Player of the Year Awards in 2003. The two-time Sporting News All-American later became West-ern Michigan’s first and only first round selection in the 2004 NFL Draft (27th overall) by the Houston Texans. He is now a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

WMU dropped four games by four points or less. Nevertheless, the season ended on a positive note with the school’s first win at Central Michigan in 29 years. Western Michigan also led the MAC in total defense and produced an All-American in defensive end Jason Babin. Darnell was named a finalist for the State Farm Eddie Robinson Coach of Distinction Award for the second straight year, joining Larry Coker of Miami (FL), Illinois’ Ron Turner and Nick Saban of LSU. The Broncos earned recognition in the classroom, being honored by the AFCA as one of nine schools to post a graduation rate of 90 percent or better.

In 2003 Western Michigan recorded a .500 or better record in MAC play for the sixth time in seven seasons. Babin earned All-America honors and MAC Defensive Player of the Year accolades for the second straight year, while Tyson DeVree and Paul Tithof were named freshmen All-Americans by The Sporting News. WMU ranked eighth in NCAA passing offense (308.4) and produced the first multiple 1,000-yard receivers (Greg Jennings, Kendrick Mosley) in school history. A total of 20 school records were either tied or broken.

CHANGING OF THE GUARDThe Broncos suffered through a 1-10 season during the 2004 season, which prompt-ed a change at head coach. Darnell finished his stint at WMU with a 46-46 record.

Former Bronco offensive coordinator Bill Cubit was lured away from Stanford and named the Broncos’ 14th head coach on Dec. 7, 2004. With a new coaching staff in place, Cubit led the Bronco program into its 100th football season ... and what a season it was.

A CENTENNIAL TO REMEMBERWestern Michigan recorded the largest turnaround in MAC history, going from 0-8 in 2004 to 5-3, finishing in a tie for third in the West Division, in 2005. Cubit also re-ceived national recognition for his program’s turnaround. He was among the nation’s elite coaches in terms of success in the first year with a program.

Cubit ranked fourth in number of wins (7) behind Les Miles (LSU), Urban Meyer (Flor-ida) and Charlie Weis (Notre Dame). He led first-year coaches in change in winning percentage, going from 9.1 percent to 63.6 percent, a change of 54.5 percent. Cubit also led first-year coaches in impact on point differential (+200) and was the only coach among first year coaches to take his team from a negative to a positive point differential from one season to the next.

Western Michigan was recognized within the conference and on the national level in terms of individual honors. Greg Jennings became the first wide receiver to win both the Vern Smith Leadership Award, tying with Bruce Gradkowski (Toledo), and the MAC Offensive Player of the Year Award since Randy Moss in 1997. Jennings was also named All-America by the Associated Press and Sports Illustrated.

The MAC honored two additional Broncos for their work during the 2005 campaign. Cubit was named Coach of the Year, becoming the fifth WMU coach to do so. Quar-terback Tim Hiller became the fifth Bronco to earn MAC Freshman of the Year after leading the conference and the nation in passing efficiency (178.85), despite being ineligible for the statistical championship due to not playing in enough games.

Jennings did earn an NCAA statistical championship in 2005, corralling 8.91 recep-tions per game to lead the country. The fruits of his labor ripened on April 29, 2006 when the Green Bay Packers called his name with the 52nd overall pick in the Na-tional Football League (NFL) Draft.

Tony Scheffler joined Jennings as a 2006 NFL draftee. The Chelsea, Mich., native was the 61st overall selection by the Denver Broncos, just nine picks after Jennings. Scheffler is the second all-time tight end at Western Michigan behind Jake Moreland in receptions (117) and receiving yards (1,345).

Western Michigan experienced the second-best one-year turnaround in the nation in 2005. It is an accomplishment to applaud and is a firm step in the direction back towards a MAC Championship.

BACK TO A BOWLThe string of success continued into Cubit’s second season at the helm of the West-ern Michigan football program as the Broncos participated in their third postseason bowl game ever. WMU faced the University of Cincinnati Bearcats in the inaugural International Bowl on Jan. 6, 2007 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. It was the first time a collegiate bowl game had been played outside of the United States since 1936 when the Bacardi Bowl took place in Havana, Cuba.

Western Michigan was the story of the day during the bowl game as the Broncos, trail-ing 24-0 in the second quarter, mounted a come back that spanned from 9:45 mark of the second quarter to the 10:53 mark of the fourth quarter. A game-tying field goal was short and WMU was not able to capture its first-ever bowl victory but the heart of the team and the program was shown to a national audience on ESPN2.

Western Michigan played in the program’s third-ever postseason bowl game on Jan. 6, 2007. The Broncos faced Cincinnati of the Big East in the inaugural International Bowl at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario.


Greg Jennings led the NCAA in receptions during the 2005 campaign en route to becoming the first wide receiver to win the MAC’s Vern Smith Leadership Award since Randy Moss in 1997. Jennings went on to be drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft, as did teammate Tony Scheffler (Denver Broncos).

Along the way to the bowl game, Western Michigan as a team put the conference and the nation on notice that the program was re-entering elite status. WMU led the nation in interceptions (24) and sacks per game (3.54), while also snapping the MAC record for rushing yards allowed per game in a season (76.1 ypg), breaking the hold mark of 77.0 yards per game held by Miami since 1973.

The Broncos had their share of individual talent as well as Ameer Ismail led the nation in two statistical categories, sacks (17.0) and tackles for loss (25.5). Ismail broke the school and conference record for sacks in a season and equaled the national record for sacks in a game (6.0) against Ball State on Oct. 21, 2006.

Western Michigan’s defense was one to be reckoned with as the nation’s leading rusher, Northern Illinois’ Garrett Wolfe, found out on Oct. 14, 2006. Wolfe, who had rushed for over 350 yards one week prior, managed just 25 net yards, while the team was held to zero net yards on the ground.

Northern Illinois was one of four teams to not reach the double-digit mark for team net rushing against WMU in 2006. Akron was not able to reach positive numbers as the Zips were held to minus-13 yards rushing in the Broncos’ 17-0 win the regular season finale.

Western Michigan did not shy from the test on the national stage either. The Broncos battled three teams from Bowl Championship Series (BCS) conferences. WMU trav-eled to Charlottesville, Va., for a showdown with Virginia on Homecoming. It was a Homecoming spoiled as Western Michigan came away with a 17-10 win for its first victory over an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent in program history. WMU almost made it an ACC sweep on Nov. 18, 2006 when a holding call kept the Broncos from tying Florida State in Talahassee, Fla. WMU eventually fell, 28-20, when a pass on the last play of the game was batted out of bounds.

The 2007 campaign brought about changes on the field and on the sidelines. For the first time under Cubit, the WMU football program would not have a seasoned quarterback as the starter entering the year. On top of the inexperience on the field, Cubit and Co. would welcome in five new coaches to the staff, the largest turnover for the program during his tenure.

The Broncos did not shy away from competition during their non-conference sched-ule. In fact, WMU boasted the 10th-strongest schedule among non-BCS schools. Western Michigan opened with West Virginia, ranked No. 3 at the time. The Broncos later faced Missouri in Columbia, Mo. These two teams, each ranked as high as No. 2 during the season, were one win away from meeting one another in the BCS Championship Game. It would have made WMU the only team to have faced the two title game participants.

Western Michigan played six teams that ended the season bowl eligible but due to the strength of its schedule and the team’s determination, one of those six did not see a bowl game. WMU went into Iowa City during the second-to-last week of the season with a 3-7 record and nothing to lose. Iowa was 6-6 on the year and needed a win on Senior Day to secure a bowl berth. The Broncos jumped out to a 19-0 lead and never looked back, clinching the victory with a fourth-quarter field goal to win, 28-19.

The win was the second over a BCS school on the road in as many seasons for Cu-bit and his staff and it improved WMU to a 2-0 lead in the all-time series with the Hawkeyes.
