2004 SEASON PREVIEWBy Gene Cassell<strong>Washburn</strong> Sports Information DirectorIf when building a program, the key step is not to take a step backwards,the Ichabods are well on their way into building a program thatwill continue to climb up the ladder in the MIAA.The Ichabods, under now third-year head coach Craig Schurig,improved two wins to 5-6 from a 3-8 record in the first year under thenew coaching staff.The MIAA had five teams tie for the conference title in 2003, andeven though the Ichabods were 3-6 in the MIAA for the second seasonin a row, Schurig believes there was improvement.“We played a lot better in conference games, but we did not improvein the number of wins,” Schurig said. “We were more competitivethroughout all of the games last season, and we’ve closed the gap betweenus and the rest of the leaders in the MIAA, but we still have a ways to goto be where we want to be.”One way to find the success of a program is in the off-season conditioningprogram. The Ichabods have had upwards of 45 football playersstaying in Topeka over the summer to take part in workouts andweightlifting.“The number has improved every summer we (the new coaching staff )have been here,” Schurig said. “Our first summer there were maybe 10that stayed in town to work out. The commitment from the players to theoffseason workouts has really helped us on the field during games bybeing able to play a more physical type of game on both sides of the balland we now just need to play that style of football for a full 60 minutes”The OffenseThe <strong>Washburn</strong> offense returns eight starters from last season’s squadthat finished fourth in the MIAA in total offense after averaging 372.4yards per game. The Ichabods had little problem moving the ball up anddown the field, however the Ichabods struggled when it came to redzoneoffense as they scored 28 of 49 times they reached the opponents 20 yardline. Of the 28 scores, <strong>24</strong> were touchdowns. Ten times when the Ichabodsdid not score, they lost possession on turnovers.“We are going to have to do a better job of scoring more consistentlywhen we reach the redzone and do a better job of protecting the ball notonly inside the 20’s, but all over the field,” Schurig said.The Ichabods had 30 turnovers last season.QuarterbacksThe Ichabods enter the 2004 season with a clear-cut quarterback insenior Tyler Schuerman at the helm of the <strong>Washburn</strong> offense. The 2000MIAA Freshman of the Year started the final game of 2003 againstMissouri Southern after splitting time with Dustin Hickel, who has beenmoved to wide receiver this season.Schuerman used a solid spring practice to retain his starting quarterbackposition.“Tyler was the No. 1 quarterback after the season was over last fall andentered the spring at the No. 1 quarterback,”Schurig said. “Therefore after the greatspring that he had, he’s our man, and thiswill be his team to lead.”Schuerman passed for 1,<strong>24</strong>7 yardsand six touchdowns as a junior.“Splitting time last seasonbetween Tyler and Dustin wastough on everyone,” Schurig said.“We never really got into a goodoffensive flow.”Backing up Schuerman this seasonwill be redshirt freshman Jordan Brillfrom Elkhorn, Neb.ReceiversThe deepest position on thefield for the Ichabods could be atthe wide receiver spot as theIchabods return three starters injuniors Mike Odupitan, SamSissom and Cason Lehman. Throw Hickel intothe mix and the Ichabods have a talented foursomefor Schuerman to pick from for passes.“We are talented at the wideout positions,”Schurig said. “There is going to bea battle for playing time between the fourthat we have coming back from last season,plus the addition of the redshirtfreshmen that will be looking for playingtime as well.”Sissom, the 2002 MIAA Freshman ofthe Year, led the team with 39 receptionsand 555 receiving yards with six touchdowns.Lehman had 32 receptions for 514 yardsand Odupitan had 29 receptions for 475yards while leading the returning wideouts with a 16.4 yard per reception average.His six touchdown receptions were foran average of 21 yards including a <strong>24</strong>-yard game-winner againstSouthwest Baptist with 1:11 remaining in the game. Hickel had tworeceptions for 35 yards as a part-time wide receiver.Also looking for playing time will be senior Andre Zandevakili, sophomoreMarquetis Burgess and redshirt freshman Jarod Tetuan.The Ichabods also return two players who have been starters at onetime or another at tight end in senior John Hoytal and junior Jeff Scott.Scott started 11 games as a true freshman at tight end and Hoytal startedall 11 games in 2003 collecting five catches for 60 yards while Scottrecorded six receptions for 91 yards.Offensive BackfieldThe Ichabods will also have talent and depth at running back as 2003MIAA Freshman of the Year and second team all-MIAA selection TrentHearn. Hearn returns after rushing for 1,116 yards and 16 touchdownsas a redshirt freshman joining <strong>Washburn</strong>’s all-time leading rusher DinoDeLisa as the only other Ichabod to rush for more than 1,000 yards.The Ichabods’ Ra’Shawn Moseley will bepushing Hearn for carries, and he alsomakes a change of pace runner out of thebackfield.“Trent is a powerful runner withgreat speed,” Schurig said. “Ra’Shawn isquick and he can outrun people to thecorners and get up the field. He is strongtoo, but both backs should complimenteach other well.”Also looking to get into the rotation is sophomoreJeff Womack, along with redshirt freshmanA.J. Patterson, the 2002 Topeka Capital JournalOffensive Player of the Year, and sophomore RickySmith. Smith, a transfer from Fort Scott CommunityCollege was named to the Jayhawk Conference secondteam after rushing for 675 yards on 108 carries with six touchdowns as afreshman.At fullback, junior Rawshawn Bland returns at starter for the secondstraight season. Bland, one of the top fullbacks in the MIAA, was thirdon the team after rushing for 177 yards on 57 carries and one touchdown.Sophomore Chris McCann will be in the mix as well.<strong>Washburn</strong> Ichabod FootballOffense LineOn the offensive line, the Ichabods are going to have some holes to fillafter the graduation of three starters in JohnMcKinley, Tim Watts and Kevin Pierce.Returning starters include senior left tackleTyrone Barrett and senior centerMatt Durler. Barrett was a secondteam all-MIAA pick last seasonand Durler is moving from rightguard where he started 11 gameslast season.Junior right tackle Jim Holland292004 Media Guide


2004 SEASON PREVIEW<strong>Washburn</strong> Ichabod Football30played in spots last season as well as senior right guard Bryce Kelley whowill start on the line this season.Filling the left guard spot will be junior transfer Rudy Su’e, who comesto <strong>Washburn</strong> from East Central Junior College in Mississippi and rejoinsBarrett, who he played along with two seasons ago.“These guys have had the spring to gel and learn how to play off ofeach other,” Schurig said. “And we are going to need for them to be solidup front for this offense. But overall I belive we have improved on the linebetween last season and this season.”Also looking for playing time will be junior transfer Dan Schneiderand sophomore Pat Mack. A trio of freshman will also push for playingtime in Jeff Rickard and Topeka native and Seaman teammates KyleHainline and Aaron Lockwood.The DefenseAfter allowing nearly 42 points a game in 2002, the Ichabods droppedtwo touchdowns per game off their points allowed average allowing 28per game last season.“It’s an improvement,” Schurigsaid. “But it is nowhere close towhere we need to be.”The Ichabods return sixstarters from last season andhave nine who gained valuableexperience a year ago.“Our defense is ayoung defense, butthey are an experienceddefense whowill do nothing butimprove,” Schurigsaid.Defensive LineThe Ichabod defensive line returns only one fulltimestarter from last but eight of the nine players on the preseason depthchart saw significant action as either redshirt- or true-freshman.The one returning fulltime starter is in sophomore defensive tackleBlake Nichols. Nichols had 33 tackles, including six for loss to go alongwith two sacks.He will be joined up front by fellow sophomores Zach Hemmerling atdefensive end and Nick Bull and Trey Lewis at the defensive tackle position.At the other defensive end will be redshirt freshman Dustin Moyer.Moyer injured his elbow against Fort Hays State in the second game ofthe season and received a medical redshirt.Of the eight Ichabods listed on the two deep entering the fall, all eightare underclassmen.“We are young up front.” Schurig said. “But the abilities of these playerswill make up for some of their youth. Each of the players up frontplayed a lot last season in the defensive line rotations and that is experiencethat is invaluable.”Competing for playing time in the rotationwill be sophomores Trey Lewis and CodyHuenefeld, redshirt freshman Mitch Birtand freshman Eric Eisenbarth, who entersthe fall as the No. 2 defensive tackle.2004 Media GuideLinebackersThe Ichabod linebackers are the mostexperienced faction of the defense as all fourstarted last season.Junior inside linebacker Grant Gould ledthe team and finished third in the MIAAwith 111 total tackles. Gould was an honorablemention all-MIAA pick at linebacker lastseason.Joining Gould on the inside in senior EvinBeck. Beck started four games last season and finishedsixth on the team with 54 tackles includingeight for loss and a sack.Moving to one of the outside linebacker positionsis senior Joe Corcoran who started every game last season at freesafety. Corcoran had 90 tackles last season and tied for the team lead withfour interceptions returning one of them for a touchdown.At the other outside linebacker is junior Josh Looney. Looney had 61tackles last season including seven for loss and two sacks while leadingthe team with two forced fumbles.“We are the most experienced on defense in the linebacking corps,”Schurig said. “These are the guys this defense is built for and they shouldbe the leaders on this side of the ball.”In the rotation for playing time will be junior Terell Cobb, who ischanging from a defensive end position where he had 29 tackles to aninside linebacker spot and junior Taurence Minikwu will look for time onthe inside as well. Also in the mix will be sophomore Aaron Neal. Nealhad 13 tackles including two for loss in 2003. Russell Munson, a redshirtfreshman transfer from Oklahoma, will also be looking for playing timeas well.SecondaryThe defensive backfield returns two starters in sophomores FletcherTerrell and Tramaine Young. Terrell was an honorable mention all-MIAA pick led the conference with 19 passes defended and 15 passbreakups. He had four interceptions for 190 yards in return average.Young had 17 tackles and one interception in 2003.At the other cornerback will be sophomore Henry Talley. Talley playedin four games last season.Converted wide receiver, junior Calvin Stuckey will also compete fortime in the secondary.At free safety will be redshirt freshman Adam Ewy, from Maize, Kan.,who transfered to <strong>Washburn</strong> from Cowley County where he played baseball.Sophomore Chris Brown has converted from running back to freesafety and will be joined by Blake Meyer who will see time at the safetyposition in passing situations as well as some time at an outside linebackerspot.Special TeamsThe Ichabod special teams return both their punter and placekicker insophomores Ben Boswell and Connor Sabel respectively.Boswell averaged 31.6 yards per punt last season, but he will be pushedby junior transfer Curt Massey from Coffeyville County CommunityCollege. Massey was a first team all-Jayhawk conference punter afteraveraging 39.3 yards per punt, which led the conference.Sabel took over the kicking duties midway through the season and hittwo of his four attempts including a 34-yarder in the season finale againstMissouri Southern.The return game is in solidhands as punt returnerSissom who was fifth in theMIAA in return averagewith 9.2 yards per runback.At kickoff return,Odupitan returns after hereceived honorable mentionall-MIAA honors after heaveraged 28 yards a returnincluding a touchdownagainst MissouriSouthern.Etc.The Ichabods have more than100 student athletes preparing for fallcamp, which is the most numbers in many years for the <strong>Washburn</strong> footballprogram. These numbers will add to team depth and add to the competitionof playing time between each position.The Ichabods are primed and ready to take the next step and recordthe first winning season since 1999 when the Ichabods were 6-5, but finished4-5 in the MIAA.A winning season and a winning record in the MIAA would really bea boost the Ichabods could build off of and continue to push the<strong>Washburn</strong> football program into the upper echelon of the MIAA.

He was cofounderof <strong>Washburn</strong> and MoenManufacturing (later American Steel andWire).His own lack of formal education madehim acutely aware of its importance.When approached by the residents of Topekato help save the ailing Lincoln College,Ichabod <strong>Washburn</strong> responded with a$25,000 gift. In May, 1869, LincolnCollege was renamed <strong>Washburn</strong> Collegein recognition of his outstandingcontribution.Until 1938, there was no graphicrepresentation or any particularSquad HometownsKansas (63)Arkansas City: CurtisMasseyCarbondale: Shane MilesClaflin: Erin Beck, EvinBeck, Dustin HickelDodge City: Matt DurlerEudora: Dustin MoyerFort Scott: Ricky SmithGarden City: Josh LambHolton: Eric EisenbarthHope: Jacob KrauseHutchinson: ZachHemmerling, Tyler PerryJunction City: ChrisHegemeisterLarned: Andrew ShaverLawrence: Ben Gray, WillMalcom, Tyree PayneLecompton: Joe CorcoranLenexa: Ben Boswell, JeffScott, Mark ScottLiberal: Chris McCannMaize: Adam EwyMayetta: Blake MeyerMcPherson: CasonLehmanOlathe: Aaron Hicks,Taylor BauerOverland Park: JeremyAssal, Adam Azeltine,Bret Dubbert, AdamGriess, Josh Looney, JeffSloanPaola: Jake ForckPittsburg: Jim HollandSalina: Jake LeBahnSilver Lake: TrevorHamilton, Kyle KrugerStilwell: Justin KnutzenTopeka: Erick Benke, KeithCarter, Kyle Carter,Grant Gould, KyleHainline, John Hoytal,Shawn Kuszak, JosephLeiker, Nick Lewis, TreyLewis, AaronLockwood, JamesMartin, Devin Miller,Aaron Neal, Matt Neely,A.J.

During the1937-38 school year, the editors of the KAW yearbookdecided that such items were important to the universityand began to accept suggestions for a design of Mr.Ichabod. The adopted design was drawn byBradbury Thompson (BA ’34).The following explanatory material accompaniedthe first representation of anIchabod in the KAW: “He has courageand enthusiasm as shown by his briskwalk. He is democratic andcourteous, for he tips his hatas he passes. Sincere in hissearch for truth and knowledge,he studiously carries abook under his arm. His friendlysmile makes you like him. He isneatly dressed and he fits well intohis generation … but adoptshimself with equal ease to anychange in life.<strong>52</strong>2004 Media Guide
