The Crusaders will feature a revamped offense this season with a trios of redshirt juniors returning to battle for the start at quarterback. MARIST will host Sacred Heart in a rare Friday contest that will kickoff Labor Day weekend. The Red Foxes return 18 starters, but will have to find replacements for running back O Neill Anderson and quarterback Chris Debowski who departed due to graduation. That duo combined for 2,806 offensive yards and 14 touchdowns in 2009. BUTLER opens its 2010 campaign with a familiar opponent as it meets Albion in its season opener for the seventh consecutive season. The 2009 PFL co-champions return 17 starters from last season s team, including wideout Zach Watkins, running back Scott Gray and offensive lineman Donnie Gilmore, who were each first-team All-PFL selections. DAYTON hosts Northeast Conference foe Robert Morris in its home opener at Welcome Stadium. The Flyers return 10 offensive starters from last season s team that won a share of its 10th PFL Championship. Key among the returnees are 2010 PFL Offensive Player of the Year Steve Valentino and FCS Second-Team All-American James Vercammen. CAMPBELL begins its third season with a trip to Virginia-Wise for the first meeting between the two programs. The Camels return 21 starters from a squad that improved to eighth place in the PFL in its second season of football. Campbell led the PFL in rushing with 2,087 yards and little should change this season as the team s top three rushers all return. DAVIDSON will look to get 2010 off on a different foot than it did in 2009. Last season, the Wildcats did not score until the season s third game. This season, the Wildcats return 15 starters from that team, including running back Kenny Mantuo, a second-team All-PFL honoree last season after rushing for 626 yards and five touchdowns. JACKSONVILLE meets second-year program Old Dominion in a 600-plus mile season-opening road trip. The Dolphins return 15 starters from last season s team that finished third behind the two league co-champions. Running back Rudell Small a two-time unanimous first-team All-PFL selection returns after posting consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, including 1,074 yards last season. MOREHEAD STATE revives an old series when it meets nationally-ranked James Madison for the first time since 1987. The Eagles return the bulk of what was a young offensive squad in 2009, but will have to replace two key losses on defense 2009 PFL Defensive Player of the Year Wes McDermott and Andrew Doan, the team s sack leader. DRAKE opens its season with its only non-conference home contest when it hosts Lehigh. The Bulldogs were in the hunt for a share of the 2009 PFL title before finishing tied for third with Jacksonville. Drake returns 14 starters from that team, including eight from a defense that led the PFL by limiting opponents to 81.5 rushing yards per game. SAN DIEGO has opened its season with a contest against Azusa Pacific in 12 of the last 13 seasons. The Toreros return just 12 starters from last season s team that finished sixth in the PFL race. Quarterbacks Sam Scudellari and Bo Stompro enter the season competing for that spot after each posted successful efforts in their respective halves of the 2009 campaign. www.pioneer-football.org

DAYTON S VERCAMMEN NAMED TO BUCHANAN WATCH LIST: Coming off a recordsetting year on defense, Dayton defensive back James Vercammen was named to the Buck Buchanan Award Watch List by the Sports Network. A 2010 co-captain, Vercammen set a PFL record with 134 total tackles in 2009, 25 more than the next closest athlete. The Buchanan Award annual recognized the FCS Defensive Player of the Year and is presented the night prior to the Division I Football Championship. FOUR PFL STUDENT-ATHLETES NAMED TO ALLSTATE AFCA GOOD WORKS TEAM: Campbell s Charles Fiore, Davidson s John Behm, Dayton s Dan Prindle and Drake s Ben Morrison have each been named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) announced this summer.

DAYTON SHUTOUT STREAK STILL GOING STRONG: Entering the 2010 season, the Flyers have not been shutout in 377 consecutive games, dating back to Oct. 16, 1976. During that streak Dayton has shutout its opponent 63 times. A list of the last shutout win and loss for each PFL squad is available on page 8. MARIST NEARS 150TH ALL-TIME VICTORY: Marist needs four victories in 2010 to record the program s 150th victory. They are among a wide-ranging number of victories by PFL members. Leading the group is Dayton which is in its 00th season and entered the year with 612 wins. At the other end is Campbell, which enters its third season of football in 2010 with four victories to its credit. (See PFL All-Time Victories, page 7) DAYTON PICKED TO WIN PFL: Tentime Pioneer Football League Champion Dayton was tapped as the favorite in the league s preseason coaches poll. The Flyers received four first-place votes and 71 points. Also receiving first-place votes were second-pick Butler (two first-place votes) and third-pick Jacksonville (four first-place votes). Only eight points separated the top three teams in the 2010 poll, listed below: PFL Preseason Poll 1. Dayton (4)... 76 2. Butler (2)... 69 3. Jacksonville (4)... 68 4. Drake... 54 5. San Diego... 52 6. Marist... 45 7. Davidson... 30 8. Campbell... 25 9. Morehead State... 22 10. Valparaiso... 9 NEW SIGHTS AWAIT AT PFL SCHOOLS: A building boom of sorts overtook the league s members over the summer with Butler and Jacksonville renovating their football facilities while Valparaiso added lights to Brown Stadium. Butler is completing renovations to its seating area and press box at the Butler Bowl, matching updates to its playing surface in 2005. Jacksonville has installed a new AstroTurf playing surface at D.B. Milne Field, replacing the natural turf that was the field s surface since 1998.

NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP EXPANDS, CHANGES LOCATIONS: In 2010, 20 teams will qualify for the NCAA Division I Football Championship. It is the first time since 1987 the NCAA Division I Football Championship has been expanded then from 12 teams to 16 teams. In addition 10 of the 14 FCS conferences will receive automatic bids into the tournament the Big South and Northeast Conferences gaining automatic berths. Entering 2010 there are 124 programs competing in football at the Division I FCS level. PFL COULD RECEIVE AT-LARGE BID IN 2010: While the PFL did not receive a automatic qualifying spot into the 2010 championship, the league could still receive what would amount to an automatic at-large bid. Under criteria established by the championship committee, the PFL champion could receive an automatic at-large bid if it meets three criteria. First, it must win eight games against Division I opposition. Secondly, it must win two games against opponents from the 10 automatic qualifying conferences. Finally, it must finish the season ranked among the top 20 in the polls as calculated by the championship committee. DIVISION I FCS, PLEASE: Although some people may accidentally still refer to it as I-AA football, the term that represents the level of Division I football in which the Pioneer Football League competes has been retired. Beginning with the 2006 National Championship game, the term Football Championship Subdivision (or FCS) is to be used. FCS is the only Division I football rank to host a NCAAsponsored national championship (one of 88 championships the NCAA sponsors). The division formerly known as I-A was changed to Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and those teams compete for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) national championship. Teams who play at the FCS level can offer a maximum of 63 scholarships (FBS teams can offer 85) and compete in a 20-team playoff at the end of the season to determine the national champion.
