Top Story - The Robert Morris University football team returns to action this Saturday, Sept. 29, at 6:00 p.m. as the Colonials welcome Lafayette to Joe Walton Stadium in a non-conference affair. After having a bye this past week, RMU will meet the Leopards for the first time in pro- gram history Saturday. Lafayette will be the 31st distinct opponent for Robert Morris in its 19-year football history. Robert Morris will be celebrating Homecoming Weekend on campus and will be playing just the second home night game in program history after it posted a 45-14 victory over Saint Francis under the lights during the 2011 Homecoming game. RMU is 14-6-1 (.690) when playing after a bye week and is 18-11-1 (.617) when meeting an opponent for the first time. For the sixth time in the past nine meetings, Robert Morris had more total yards of offense than Dayton, but the Colonials fell, 20-14, to the Flyers in their last time out. After facing the Leopards, RMU will play seven Northeast Conference (NEC) games to close its slate, the first two of which will be on the road at Saint Francis and Bryant, respectively. Quick Stat of the Afternoon - When Robert Morris takes the field Saturday against Lafayette, it will be doing so as part of the University’s Homecoming festivities. That fact should bode well for RMU as the Colonials have won 13 of their past 17 games played as a part of Homecoming. The 2011 Homecoming game (10/8) was notable in large part because it was the first-ever home night game in program history, and the Colonials put on a show for their fans, running out to a 35-0 halftime lead en route to a 45-14 victory over Saint Francis. RMU opened up a similar 35-0 halftime lead on Albany during the 2010 Homecoming contest (10/16) and cruised to a 38-0 vic- tory. Another recent memorable Homecoming performance for RMU occurred Oct. 14, 2006 when it met Central Connecticut State in what was the first-ever game against a nationally ranked opponent. The Colonials came away with an exciting, 23-17, victory in double overtime. Saturday’s Opponent - Saturday’s game between Robert Morris and Lafayette marks the inau- gural meeting between the two programs. Robert Morris owns a record of 18-11-1 (.617) when facing off with an opponent for the first time. Only four of those 11 defeats have occurred at home, and just two of those four setbacks on home soil have happened since 1998. The last time the Colonials had a matchup with a first-time opponent at home was Sept. 15, 2010 when RMU stunned No. 15 Liberty with a thrilling, 30-23, victory. All-time leading rusher and current assis- tant coach Myles Russ (2007-10) scored the winning touchdown with just 22 seconds remaining. On This Date (Sept. 29) in Robert Morris Football History - The 2001 Robert Morris squad faced a similar situation to that of the current team. It had dropped its first three games, including a season-opening road loss and a setback to Dayton, and was set to play its fourth game of the season September 29 as part of Homecoming--exactly the scenario in which the 2012 team finds itself. In that 2001 game, RMU erupted for 20 points in the second quarter to open up a 27-7 halftime lead and cruised to a 41-7 victory over Saint Francis. Robert Morris exploded for 509 yards of total offense, a mark which was aided by Sam Dorsett’s (1999-03) 122 rushing yards on 16 carries. Colonial quarterback Tim Levcik (1998-01) was 13-for-18 for 252 yards and four touchdown passes and, in the process, broke career school records for completions and passing yards, marks he still owns to this day. The win jumpstarted the Colonials’ season as RMU did not lose for the remainder of the campaign as it finished the year with a 6-1 mark in the NEC.

After having a bye this past week, RMU will meet the Leopards for the first time in pro-gram history Saturday. Lafayette will be the 31st distinct opponent for Robert Morris in its 19-year football history. Robert Morris will be celebrating Homecoming Weekend on campus and will be playing just the second home night game in program history after it posted a 45-14 victory over Saint Francis under the lights during the 2011 Homecoming game. RMU is 14-6-1 (.690) when playing after a bye week and is 18-11-1 (.617) when meeting an opponent for the first time. For the sixth time in the past nine meetings, Robert Morris had more total yards of offense than Dayton, but the Colonials fell, 20-14, to the Flyers in their last time out. After facing the Leopards, RMU will play seven Northeast Conference (NEC) games to close its slate, the first two of which will be on the road at Saint Francis and Bryant, respectively.
Quick Stat of the Afternoon - When Robert Morris takes the field Saturday against Lafayette, it will be doing so as part of the University’s Homecoming festivities. That fact should bode well for RMU as the Colonials have won 13 of their past 17 games played as a part of Homecoming. The 2011 Homecoming game (10/8) was notable in large part because it was the first-ever home night game in program history, and the Colonials put on a show for their fans, running out to a 35-0 halftime lead en route to a 45-14 victory over Saint Francis. RMU opened up a similar 35-0 halftime lead on Albany during the 2010 Homecoming contest (10/16) and cruised to a 38-0 vic-tory. Another recent memorable Homecoming performance for RMU occurred Oct. 14, 2006 when it met Central Connecticut State in what was the first-ever game against a nationally ranked opponent. The Colonials came away with an exciting, 23-17, victory in double overtime.
Saturday’s Opponent - Saturday’s game between Robert Morris and Lafayette marks the inau-gural meeting between the two programs. Robert Morris owns a record of 18-11-1 (.617) when facing off with an opponent for the first time. Only four of those 11 defeats have occurred at home, and just two of those four setbacks on home soil have happened since 1998.

All-time leading rusher and current assis-tant coach Myles Russ (2007-10) scored the winning touchdown with just 22 seconds remaining.
On This Date (Sept. 29) in Robert Morris Football History - The 2001 Robert Morris squad faced a similar situation to that of the current team. It had dropped its first three games, including a season-opening road loss and a setback to Dayton, and was set to play its fourth game of the season September 29 as part of Homecoming--exactly the scenario in which the 2012 team finds itself.

NEC 2012 Players of the Week
2012 Robert Morris Football Game Notes vs. Lafayette (9/29/12) - Page 3
Head Coach Joe Walton19th Season - Pittsburgh ’57
At the forefront of the football renaissance at Robert Morris University throughout its 19-year history is Joe Walton, who has built the Colonials from a fledgling program into one of the top Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) teams in the region. The one constant associated with the program, Walton was named the first head coach July 27, 1993. He started the program from scratch, completing every-thing from hiring assistant coaches to purchasing equipment to recruiting student-athletes for the team’s inaugural season in 1994. Walton’s fingerprints are all over the football pro-gram, and to prove that, RMU has played its home games since 2005 in a stadium that bears his name. During his tenure, Walton has led Robert Morris to the
first Northeast Conference championship in 1996, guided RMU to a perfect 10-0 season in 2000 and in 2010 helped lead the Colonials to the NEC’s inaugural bid to the NCAA FCS Playoffs with their league-high sixth regular-season championship. “It’s hard to believe,” Walton speaks on how fast time has elapsed. “I’ve said this many times before, and I mean it when I say that this situation is one of the best things that has ever happened to me in my life. It happened at the right time. Before this position became available, I felt I was too young to quit coaching, but I wasn’t anxious to get back into pro football. When this came along, it was the per-fect fit. This situation was the perfect opportunity for me to continue to do what I like to do, and I’ve loved every minute of it.” Under Walton’s tutelage, the Colonials have claimed outright NEC regular-season titles three times (1997, 1999, 2000) while sharing three others (1996, 1998, 2010). Walton led Robert Morris to back-to-back ECAC Bowl victories in 1996 and 1997, and in 1999 and 2000 he guided RMU to a pair of NCAA I-AA mid-major national crowns according to Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette. In 2010, Walton added to his legacy by engineering the Colonials on an eight-game winning streak for a share of the NEC regular-season title and the NEC’s first bid in the NCAA FCS Playoffs. In the process he picked up his 100th career victory in the collegiate ranks.

Robert Morris Quick FactsLast Time Out - For the sixth time in the past nine meetings, Robert Morris had more total yards of offense than Dayton, but the Flyers used a trio of short scoring drives to come away with a 20-14 non-conference victory … The Colonials had statistical advan-tages in categories such as first downs, passing yards, time of possession and third down conversion percentage … Senior defensive lineman R.J. Cook registered his first-career fumble recovery … Sophomore Antwan Eddie notched his first-career intercep-tion … Jeff Sinclair collected his 14th career game with multiple touchdowns, including a 77-yard strike to junior Donte Jeter … Nolan Nearhoof posted nine tackles, including a sack, moving past 150 career tackles in the process.
Bye-Bye - Robert Morris is coming off of its lone bye week of the season, and if history is indication, this should bode well for the Colonials. RMU is 14-6-1 (.690) all-time when playing after an off week, including 14-5-1 (.725) in the regular season. Amazingly, this includes a record of 10-1 (.909) when Robert Morris plays at home following a bye week, a mark which stands at 3-0 (1.000) since the team moved into Joe Walton Stadium. RMU also had a bye in the fourth week of the season in 2011 and came out the following week by surprising Monmouth, 23-20, on the road. Jeff Sinclair was 18-for-24 and threw a game-winning touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter. The last time RMU played at home after a bye week was Oct. 30, 2010 when the Colonials downed rival Duquesne, 34-11. Sinclair rushed for two scores in that game as did Myles Russ (2007-2010). Russ also became the program’s all-time leading rusher in that contest. One other notable game in RMU history to occur after a bye week was Sept. 17, 2005--the first-ever game at Joe Walton Stadium and a 49-13 victory for RMU over Butler. Picking Up Steam - Greg Langer has settled in nicely as RMU’s starting placekicker, as the senior has hit nine straight field goal attempts and 13 of his last 15 in the last 12 games. Langer finished tied with Charlie Leventry of Duquesne for the Northeast Conference lead in both field goals (12) and field goals per game (1.09) in 2011. Thanks to his 27-yard field goal against Duquesne in the 2011 season finale (11/19), Langer broke the RMU school record for consecutive field goals made. Former kicker Jeff Carlo (1998-2001) had converted seven straight over the course of the 1998 and 1999 sea-sons, while former kicker Michael Walser (2005-07) closed out the 2007 campaign by hitting seven straight field goals. Langer has not taken an easy path to the record either as six of his past nine field goals have been converted from farther than 35 yards.
Long and Short of It - The RMU defense displayed some positive signs in the team’s last game at Dayton. RMU held Dayton to 247 yards of total offense, including just 75 pass-ing yards and also forced two turnovers. Another strong point of its performance was that it did not allow a scoring drive longer than 53 yards. In fact, the RMU defense has not allowed a scoring drive longer than 53 yards in over 98 minutes. On the flip side, the last three scoring drives by the RMU offense have all been 70 yards or longer.
Coach to Cure MD - The Robert Morris coaching staff will each be wearing patches on their shirts during Saturday’s game against Lafayette in support of Coach to Cure MD. Now in its fifth year, Coach to Cure MD seeks to raise awareness and money to fund research for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the most fatal childhood genetic disorder. Just over $1 million has been raised for the cause thus far.
Experience Counts - When taking a look down the Robert Morris roster, the Colonials seem to have a bevy of experience at the defensive line position. Defensive linemen R.J. Cook, Farren Mason, Sam Miller, Steve Mitchell, Nolan Nearhoof and Chris Thompkins have combined for 92 starts during their time at RMU. Due to injuries, each member of the sextet saw starting assignments during the 2011 season. Miller, Mitchell and Nearhoof lead the way with 25 starts each, although the first 22 of Miller's career actu-ally came when he was a member of the offensive line. Mason is next in line, having earned the nod 12 times in his career.
Start Me Up - Steve Mitchell enters Saturday’s game @ Dayton with the most consecu-tive starting assignments of any active Colonial. Mitchell has started 25 straight games at defensive end. A.J. Dalton is second in that category with 20 straight starts on the offensive line. Jeff Sinclair is the Colonials’ active leader in overall starts with 28.

Game #3 • Dayton 20, Robert Morris 14September 15, 2012 • Dayton, Ohio
Welcome Stadium (Attendance: 3,116) - For the sixth time in the past nine meetings, Robert Morris had more total yards of offense than Dayton, but the Flyers used a trio of short scoring drives to come away with a 20-14 victory. The Flyers scored touchdowns on drives of 30, 42 and 53 yards. As a result, Dayton was able to win even though the Colonials had statisti-cal advantages in categories such as first downs, passing yards, time of possession and third down conversion percentage. The contest remained scoreless through the end of the first quar-ter. Not long before the half, Dayton received good field position after a Colonial punt. The Flyers mixed up the run and the pass and also used a Colonial penalty to draw near to the goal line before Taylor Harris punched it in with a two-yard rush. After another RMU 3-and-out, the Flyers once again used good field position to launch an abbreviated scoring drive as Will Bardo scored on a quarterback sneak with just 31 seconds remaining in the half. RMU received the opening kickoff of the second half and marched the ball down the field into the red zone on seven plays, including a 15-yard rush by junior Evan Taylor. Facing a third down and 15, senior quarterback Jeff Sinclair found redshirt senior Paul Evans in the back of the end zone, and the tight end held on to the ball while being taken to the turf for his first TD reception of the season and the fourth of his career. After each team punted once, Dayton used a six-play, 42-yard drive to extend its lead as Harris rolled in from 13 yards out, making it 20-7 as the point after attempt failed. Each team punted on each of its next two possessions, and Robert Morris took over on its own 7-yard line with just over five minutes remaining. Sophomore fullback Ryan Thermil rumbled 16 yards on the first play of the drive to give RMU some breathing room. The Colonials took full advantage on the next play as Sinclair went deep down the field and found junior wide receiver Donte Jeter, who made a leaping grab and then sprinted away from the defense for a 77-yard touch-down, cutting the RMU deficit to just 20-14. RMU would advance the ball close to midfield with enough time remaining for a comeback, but the Colonials could not convert on a fourth down play, and the Flyers were able to run the clock out from that point on.

Last RMU GameRank and File - Robert Morris played against a nationally ranked opponent for the fifth time in school history when it opened the season at North Dakota State. However, it was the first time that RMU has ever squared off with a team that sat among the top 10 in the country. In fact, NDSU currently sits No. 1 in the Coaches’ Poll and is ranked No. 1 by The Sports Network. The Colonials’ loss to the Bison dropped them to 2-3 (.400) all-time against ranked foes. Although Albany, RMU’s second opponent, is not currently nationally ranked, they are garnering significant votes in both major FCS polls. Additionally, Lafayette is earning votes in both polls, which means three of RMU's first four opponents are currently garnering votes. To see the latest FCS national rank-ings by The Sports Network, please see page 6 of RMU’s game notes.
Longer for Langer - Greg Langer’s 49-yard field goal Sept. 8 against Albany made him just the second Colonial ever to convert a field goal of at least that length. It also marked the longest field goal by a Colonial in over 12 years.
Go Deep - In the waning minutes of RMU’s last game Sept. 15 at Dayton, senior Jeff Sinclair launched a pass deep down field and hooked up with junior Donte Jeter, who made a leaping grab and then sprinted into the end zone for a 77-yard touchdown. The 77-yard pass was the eighth longest in Colonial history, the longest in the program’s past 44 games and the longest one in which either Sinclair or Jeter was involved. Amazingly, the last time RMU completed a pass longer than 77 yards also came at Dayton Sept. 20, 2008 when Erik Cwalinski (2005-08) hit James O’Quinn (2008) for 81 yards.
Foot Joy - One of the most important aspects that senior Jeff Sinclair brings to the quarterback position at Robert Morris is his versatility. In a 31-24 set-back @ Central Connecticut State last year (11/5), Sinclair rushed for a 14-yard touchdown in the first quarter that helped tie the game, 7-7. In 28 career games, Sinclair has already rushed for 14 touchdowns. To put that in perspective, prior to Sinclair becoming the starter under center at RMU, quarterbacks combined for 16 rushing touchdowns in the first 156 games of the program’s history.
Any Given Saturday - Entering Saturday’s contest against Lafayette, there are two Colonials who would have pretty good odds of seeing the field, judging solely by their past histories. Redshirt seniors Sanchez Faugue and Sam Miller have each appeared in 36 games in their RMU careers, tops among active players. Faugue has the distinction of competing in each of the past 36 contests while Miller missed the 2010 season, but played in every game in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Seniors Steve Mitchell and Eric Lowry are in hot pursuit of this duo as they have seen the field in 35 and 33 games in their respective careers, including 27 straight by Mitchell.
Fresh Faces - As with any other year, the beginning of the 2012 season has featured the first collegiate appearances for some newer Colonials. A total of eight Colonials have made their first career starts thus far this season. A pair of true freshmen both made their second-consecutive starting assignment Sept. 15 at Dayton as Max Robertson got the nod at left guard and Marcelis Branch started at cornerback. Robertson and Branch were the second offen-sive lineman and cornerback, respectively, to make their first-career start in 2012, joining sophomore center Nick Faraci and sophomore cornerback Zach Washington. In total, 15 Colonials have competed in a RMU uniform for the first time this season.
Hanging Chad - Safety Cameron Chadwick emerged as a leader for the Robert Morris defense in 2011 and earned All-NEC Second Team honors as a result. Chadwick finished with a team-high 80 tackles last season, including 32 solo stops. Over his last nine games dating back to last season, Chadwick has posted 78 tackles, an average of 8.7 per game.

The Sports Network FCS Top 25
NEC Champions since 1996
Making the Grade - Defensive lineman Nolan Nearhoof was named to the 2011 Capital One Academic All-America Second Team this past November, becoming only the second student-athlete in program history to earn two CoSIDA Academic All-American hon-ors. Nearhoof had previously become the third player in program history to be named to the ESPN Academic All-America Team in 2010 when he earned second team acco-lades. Nearhoof owns a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.73 as a biology major and joined former Colonials Jonathan LeDonne (2001-04) and Ray Gensler (2003-06) to earn the honor. LeDonne, a linebacker, was named to the 2004 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America First Team, while Gensler, a defensive lineman, was a two-time honoree, earning second team accolades in 2005 and first team honors in 2006. Nearhoof was also named as the NEC Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the sec-ond-consecutive year. He was the fourth player in program history to claim that honor but the first to ever win it twice.
Regulation Only - Entering Saturday’s game against Lafayette, Robert Morris will have gone 61 consecutive games without having a contest go into overtime. That is the lon-gest such streak in program history since the NCAA instituted overtime in college football for the 1996 season. In fact, every other current member of the NEC has played at least one overtime game since RMU’s last such contest. The last time the Colonials headed to overtime was Oct. 14, 2006 when RMU upset No. 19 Central Connecticut State, 23-17 (2OT), in what was the program’s first-ever game against a nationally ranked opponent. After Jacky Candy (2006) intercepted a Blue Devil pass right near the goal line in the second extra session, Erik Cwalinski (2005-08) hooked up with Mario Hines (2004, 2006-07) for a game-winning 14-yard touchdown pass on 3rd-and-12. That contest against the Blue Devils remains the only home game in RMU history to go into overtime.
Climbing the Charts - Robert Morris senior quarterback Jeff Sinclair is climbing the RMU record book in multiple categories as he concludes his career in 2012. With his two touchdown passes last time out, Sinclair moved into sole possession of third place in career touchdowns responsible for at Robert Morris with 58. He needs eight more to pass Jake Newman (1994-97) for second place all-time in that department. Sinclair is also fifth in career completions (332), career passing yards (4,297), career touchdown passes (44) and career total offense (4,841) at RMU. His total offense per game average of 172.9 is second all-time at RMU, trailing only Tim Levcik’s (1998-01) top mark of 191.4. Despite being a quarterback, Sinclair actually ranks sixth in career rushing touchdowns at Robert Morris (14) and needs just 28 more rushing yards to move into the career top 10 in that category.
Near a Record - Robert Morris senior defensive lineman Nolan Nearhoof not only stands up in the classroom but also on the football field. Nearhoof claimed his second-consecutive All-NEC First Team honor in 2011 despite missing the final two games due to injury. In doing so, Nearhoof became just the third player in the league, on offense or defense, to earn an all-conference first team award in both 2010 and 2011. He finished fourth on the team with 60 tackles last year, 24 of which were solo stops. He also led the Colonials in sacks (7.5) and tackles for loss (12.5), totals that were good enough to rank fourth and sixth, respectively, in the Northeast Conference. Nearhoof currently ranks as RMU's active leader in tackles (158), tackles for loss (24) and sacks (17). His 17 sacks are tied for second all-time at RMU as he closes in on the program record of 19, which is currently held by Ray Gensler (2003-06).
For Starters - When Robert Morris took the field Sept. 15 against Dayton, it sported its third starting lineup on offense in its third game. However, if 2011 was any indication, Colonial fans shouldn’t be surprised. Due to a number of injuries as well as changes with the depth chart, Robert Morris used nine different starting lineups on offense last season and has used 13 different starting combinations in its last 15 games. The start-ers actually stayed the same for three straight weeks in October 2011, but RMU had changes in its lineup from one week to the next throughout the early and late parts of the campaign. The Colonials were forced into starting three different quarterbacks and also had five different tailbacks/fullbacks start a game in 2011. The only returning Colonial on offense who started every game in 2011 is lineman A.J. Dalton.

Head Coach-In-Waiting John Banaszak
Robert Morris University Director of Athletics Craig Coleman, M.D., announced this past January that RMU Assistant Head Football Coach John Banaszak has been named the program's coach-in-waiting. Banaszak, who has spent the last nine years as an assistant coach and assistant head coachwith the Colonials, will take over for current head coach Joe Walton at the conclusion of the2013 season. "Coach Walton has done a tremendous job starting the program from scratch and developing it to its current level," Coleman said. "We are blessed to have another outstanding coach on our staff in Coach Banaszak to provide leadership and excellence when Walton retires." The 2011 season marked Banaszak's ninth season as a member of the Robert Morris footballcoach staff, including his fourth campaign as assistant head coach. Among his many duties with the program, Banaszak is responsible for tutoring the defensive line and the special teams unit. During Banaszak's time at Robert Morris, the Colonials have led the Northeast Conference intotal defense four times (2004, 2006, 2009 and 2010) and have finished in the top five in theleague on eight occasions. Banaszak was a key component to a 2010 defense that led the NEC in total defense, allowingan average of 312.6 yards per game, and coaching a defensive line that recorded 13 of RMU's21 sacks as the Colonials claimed the NEC's inaugural berth in the FCS Playoffs. In 2006, Banaszak helped tutor an RMU defense that led I-AA in total defense, allowing anaverage of just 228.36 yards per game. Under Banaszak's guidance, former defensive lineman Ray Gensler (2003-06) tied the RMUsingle-season school record for sacks with 11 in 2006 en route to earning All-NEC First Teamhonors. Gensler also established a career record in sacks with 19 thanks to 11 in 2006, andthe Robert Morris defensive line that season recorded 28 and-a-half of RMU's school record 34sacks. Eight of the 11 players in school history to earn All-NEC recognition on the defensive line have come under the tutelage of Banaszak, including Nolan Nearhoof, who led the Colonials with seven and-a-half sacks last year en route to being named to the 2011 All-NEC First Team. Prior to RMU, Banaszak served as the 30th head coach in Washington & Jefferson footballhistory, leading the Presidents to a record of 38-9 (.809) in his four seasons on the sidelinesbetween 1999 and 2002. In each of those four campaigns, he was named the Presidents' Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and ranks third on the college's all-time victory list. A 1975 graduate of Eastern Michigan with a bachelor's degree in health, physical educationand recreation, Banaszak signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers prior to the 1975season and was one of only three rookies to make the defending Super Bowl champion teamout of training camp. Primarily a special teams player on Pittsburgh's Super Bowl X championship team, Banaszakstarted five games the following season and then started at both right end and inside tackle in1977 before suffering a knee injury that forced him to the injured reserve list. Between 1978 and 1980, Banaszak started 45 regular-season games at defensive end as the Steelers won back-to-back Super Bowl championships. In Super Bowl XIII, Banaszak recorded six tackles, including a pair of sacks, and a fumble recovery in a 35-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, which garnered him Defensive Player of the Game honors. The following year in Super Bowl XIV, Banaszak finished with five tackles and a sack in a 31-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Robert Morris in the 2012 NEC StatsNo Tickets - When Robert Morris opened its 2012 season Sept. 1 at No. 1/2 North Dakota State, the Colonials had to face more than the defending national champions on the field. RMU competed in front of a hostile stand-ing-room-only crowd whose noise was magnified by the domed stadium. In fact, the sellout of 18,769 fans marked the biggest attendance to ever witness a Robert Morris football contest. The previous top mark of 15,805 had been set at Williams Stadium Sept. 10, 2011 when RMU played at Liberty. One simi-larity between the two contests is that both were night games.
Get To The Chopper - A quick glance at RMU’s record when broken down proves how important it is the Colonials get off to a good start in contests. When Robert Morris is leading at halftime, the program owns an all-time record of 85-12 (.876). When trailing at the break, Robert Morris owns a mark of 10-62-1 (.144). Even going into halftime tied is beneficial, as the Colonials own an overall record of 11-8 (.579) in such games.
The Magic Mark - Since the Colonials began play in 1994 there have been 70 games in which Robert Morris has scored 30 or more points. In those contests RMU boasts a record of 66-4 (.944), including a record of 38-4 (.905) in games in which the team scores between 30 and 39 points. In games in which the Colonials score 40 or more points, RMU is a perfect 28-0.
RMU Football Historical Tidbits - The inaugural running back at Robert Morris, the late Tim Hall (1994-95), rushed for 2,908 yards in his two seasons as a Colonial. Hall still owns the FCS season and career records for yards per carry, with his season record of 8.7 yards per carry set in 1994 and his two-year career record of 7.4 established in 1994 and 1995 ... Hall also ranks fourth all-time in the FCS in both rushing yards per game (153.1) and all-purpose yards per game (194.8) ... Former Colonial linebacker James Noel (2002-05) ranks fifth in the FCS record book for career tackles per game (10.7), while his career tackle total of 437 takedowns ranks 12th all-time ... Former linebacker and current assistant coach Alex DiMichele (2008-10) averaged 10 tackles per game over his three years in a Robert Morris uniform, which ranks 11th all-time in the FCS record book ... Robert Morris has led the nation in passing defense twice in the past 13 years. The Colonials topped the charts in both 1999, when they conceded just 80.80 yards per game through the air, and 2006, when they allowed only 88.70 yards per game via the pass.
Did You Know? - Robert Morris owns the all-time FCS record for the most consecutive quarters while holding an opponent scoreless. During the 1996 season, the Colonials went 15 straight quarters without allowing a single point. In fact, the record-setting streak occurred at the beginning of the sea-son. RMU posted three straight shutouts -- 20-0 against Mercyhurst (9/7), 38-0 against Butler (9/14) and 7-0 against Towson State (9/21) -- to open the campaign and then held Central Connecticut State (9/28) scoreless for the first three quarters before finally allowing a point for the first time all sea-son. In all, RMU went 234:04 before allowing a point in 1996. RMU went 9-2 (.818) in 1996, claiming a share of the NEC championship, and conceded just 12.9 points per game.
