Q& A With Tom Amstutz What are your thoughts about your team as you enter spring practice? Amstutz: So far the ‘08 team has done everything we’ve asked them to do in winter conditioning. We had an extra-hard push in weight training this winter. Our players want to play well. We are excited about the spring. It’s a new team with new opportunities. Is there any sense of extra dedication to get the Rockets back to the top of the MAC? Amstutz: We always ask the players to re-dedicate themselves to a new season. We prepare the same way, whether it’s a championship year or a year where you struggled. It’s forgotten. Each year is its own new situation. Will we see any significant changes this spring? Amstutz: Spring is the time to look at new wrinkles, experiment with new schemes and evaluate your personnel. We plan to do that again this spring. What are your expectations for junior quarterback Aaron Opelt? Amstutz: We’re excited to have Aaron Opelt back out there and throwing again after his injury. We feel like he showed some spurts when he was healthy. Leading the team to 812 yards of total offense against Northern Illinois was an example of what he can do. This is his junior year. We feel that a quarterback really starts to mature in their junior year so we expect him to show what he can do this year. This is his third year as a starter. He has a lot of passes under his belt. A lot will be expected of him this year. How do you see the battle shaping up for Opelt’s backup? Amstutz: D.J. Lenehan got a chance to start several games as a freshman last year. He’s ahead of schedule as a quarterback. He really understands the offense. He’s a solid guy that we can trust to put in there. Alex Pettee had a great numbers in junior college. He has a rifle arm. Being here this spring is a great advantage. It gives him a chance to learn our system prior to two-a-days. He can get comfortable in our offense and be ready to go in that No. 3 spot.

Last year’s backup QB, Clint Cochran, was recently accepted into medical school at UT. What is his status with the team? Amstutz: Clint will remain on our team but in more of a student-assistant capacity. He will practice with the team, working with our quarterbacks. He will dress on game day and help with getting signals to our quarterback. Clint is satisfied with this new role and so are we. He will still be a part of this football team and help us reach our goals. It looks like junior DaJuane Collins is the heir-apparent at running back. What do you think of DaJuane and the other running backs? Amstutz: I think DaJuane is ready to take over at running back. He’s a strong runner with great balance. He has shown the ability to make plays. (Sophomore) Gordon Warner has great quickness. He got a chance to play last year and we want him to build off that. (Freshman) Adonis Thomas was redshirted last year. We also expect him to provide depth and make big plays with his quickness. Are Stephen Williams and Nick Moore the best tandem of receivers you’ve ever had? Amstutz: I would say they are the most talented pair of receivers we’ve had since I’ve been head coach. We expect a lot out of them. (Junior) Stephen Williams is a big-play receiver. He came into his own last year. We expect him to be a big part of our offense next year. Nick Moore is a senior and will be the leader of the receiver corps. He has excellent hands, and he’s really developing as special receiver. How is the tight end position shaping up? Amstutz: John Allen is a senior now. He’s been a real steady player for us throughout his career. We also have junior Tom Burzine, sophomore Matt Fought and redshirt freshman Danny Noble. So we have a lot of depth and a good foundation for the future at tight end.

Q& A With Tom Amstutz On the offensive line you lose three-time All-MAC left tackle John Greco but you do have three starters back. Amstutz: John Morookian is enrolled in this spring and will compete with redshirt freshman Mike VanderMeulen for John Greco’s left tackle spot. Those guys will battle for that spot, so we will have a new player there. Jared DeWalt will stay at left guard where he will be a threeyear starter. Buster Garrett will be out center and Kevin Kowalski will be our starter at left guard; both of those guys were starters last year Three players will battle for the right tackle position, Chris Meenan, Shawn Glaser and Jan Gewont. Jan was the starter last year and he is coming back from injury this spring. You have an unusual situation on defense where three starters who didn’t play much last year due to injury are back. What’s that dynamic like bringing those guys back? Amstutz: We are adding players back into our defense that are in the all-conference category. Tyrrell Herbert at free safety, Sean Williamson and Doug Westbrook on the defensive line. These guys were missing a year ago. We’re also adding Archie Donald, who sat out last year after playing a lot as a freshman. He could be a starter for us at linebacker. It hurt us last season having these guys out, but for this season it gives our defense a lot of depth. It allowed our younger players to get playing time and mature. Your defensive backfield looks especially deep. You not only have Herbert and Barry Church at safety, you have seven other players who have started at least one game at safety or cornerback in their careers. Amstutz: Church and Herbert are the leaders of the secondary and the leaders of the defense overall. They are players we can count on to make big plays. They have good communication and a good relationship with each other that makes them a stronger force. We do have great depth and experience in our secondary, and we also think we have added some very strong freshmen coming in. Some of them could be in the playing rotation next season. You have four experienced linebackers, as well.

Amstutz: Having Archie Donald back is a huge key. And D.J. Summer and Keith Forestal were two of our leading tacklers last year, as well as Beau Brudzinski. Next fall we are also adding Daris Quinn, who I think was one of the best junior college linebackers in the country last year. How does the defensive line shape up? Are you making any changes in the defensive line? Amstutz: Terrell Willis is moving from linebacker to defensive end. Albertson Alexandre, a junior college transfer, will be here this spring playing at defensive end. And we get Sean Williamson and Doug Westbrook back after missing most of last year due to injury. Alex Johnson and Matt Shumaker played a lot last year, too, so we have a lot of players we can use at defensive end. At tackle, we have Alfred Martin, Maurice Hill, Skylaar Constant and Joe Underwood, all who were in the rotation last year. We have enough depth at all our positions where we should be able to keep guys fresh throughout the game. Do you think people will be surprised at how much better your defense is this year? Amstutz: That’s our goal. Our goal is to have great improvement on our defense. We have to put much more pressure on the quarterback, to get more sacks and tackles for losses. On special teams you have one of the most efficient short-range kickers in NCAA history, Alex Steigerwald, who has made 21-of-22 field goals in the last two seasons. Who will be doing the kickoffs? Amstutz: We’re expecting Brett Brodbeck to keep improving and be our kickoff guy. As far as the punter position, you lost one of the best punters in the country in Brett Kern. Who will take his place? Amstutz: Bill Claus is our No.1 punter right now. Also, David Pasquale, our freshman quarterback, was a punter in high school, so we may consider using him in that role. It’s also still possible we may bring in someone else as a walk-on punter.

Toledo Head Coach Tom Amstutz For more than 30 years now, University of Toledo Football and Tom Amstutz have been inseparable. Born in Toledo, Amstutz has bled Midnight Blue and Gold all his life. As a boy, he went to games at the Glass Bowl. As a young man, he attended UT and played for the Rockets. And for nearly all of his adult life he has toiled on the football sidelines, first as an assistant for two decades and then as the head coach, a position he has held since 2001. His popularity in Toledo is unrivaled. He has appeared in numerous local TV and radio commercials, been featured on billboards, been the subject of many newspaper and magazine articles and appeared at countless local charitable functions. He even has his own bobblehead doll.

Green, and a third trip to the Motor City Bowl game in four seasons. In 2005, the Rockets went 9-3, culminating with a thrilling 44-41 doubleovertime victory over Bowling Green to close out the regular season, and a convincing romp over UTEP in the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, AL. Dreams Can Come True Amstutz, 52, was born and raised in Toledo with dreams of one day becoming the head coach of the Rockets. In Amstutz’s case, his dreams did come true. But they also came with a price, namely, hard work. Amstutz paid his dues, first as a player, then as a graduate assistant, then finally as an assistant coach, a position he held at Toledo for 21 years. Amstutz’s dream turned into a reality, as he was named UT’s head coach in December of 2000. The rest, as they say, is history. It’s a simple tale, but an appropriate one for Amstutz. He’s a straight-forward, no-nonsense kind of guy. No pretensions here. What you see is what you get. That’s just the kind of man they like in Toledo. From West Toledo to the East Side, from the central city to the suburbs, Toledoans all say pretty much the same thing: Tom is one of us. Like the city where he was born and bred, there’s nothing glamorous or fancy about Amstutz. And that suits him just fine. “Toledo is a blue-collar, union town, where you start at the bottom and work hard to make your way up the ladder. So I think the people here appreciate a guy like me,” Amstutz said.

Among the Nation’s Best Amstutz’s tenure as head football coach of the University of Toledo began with a bang and has been making noise ever since. In his first season, he led the Rockets to a MAC championship, a victory at the Motor City Bowl and a No. 22 final ranking. Since then his teams have rattled off four more winning seasons and three more bowl appearances. During his coaching tenure, he has five wins over Top 25 teams, including back-to-back victories in 2004. He also sports a sparkling 37-18 record against MAC opponents. Amstutz has won four Mid-American Conference West Division titles, captured two outright league crowns and brought his team to four bowl games, including a 4513 victory over UTEP in the 2005 GMAC Bowl. The hallmark of Amstutz’s career has been consistency. He followed up his amazing rookie season with an even more improbable sophomore Tom Amstutz’s campaign, guiding the Rockets to another Year Overall MAC West title. The 2003 season saw 2001 10-2 another winning season, as the Rockets 2002 9-5 went 8-4 and fought to the final whistle of 2003 8-4 the final game in an effort to claim their 2004 9-4 third straight crown. 2005 9-3 In 2004, Amstutz led his team to a 2006 5-7 9-4 mark and his second MAC Champi2007 5-7 onship title. He also added wins over No. Career 55-32 22 Northern Illinois and No. 24 Bowling

Toledo Head Coach Tom Amstutz Amstutz’s ascension capped a coaching career that began modestly as a student assistant in 1977. Except for three years as an assistant at Navy from 1987-89 and a twoweek stint at Missouri in 2000 prior to being named UT’s head coach, Amstutz has never worked anywhere else. “When you stay and work hard, good things happen,” he said. “That’s a good lesson for the players to look at. I started at Toledo by bringing in the coffee and rolling up the mats. I was a position coach, then a coordinator, then the assistant head coach. It’s just hard work and believing in the program. That’s why I’m here.” Playing Days in High School and at UT Except for that three-year coaching stint at Navy, Amstutz has lived in the Toledo area his entire life. Amstutz grew up on Scottwood Avenue on the city’s north side, the son of George and Fran Amstutz. He attended Whitmer High School, where he lettered in football, basketball and track. During his high school days, he also was a big fan of the UT football teams that went 35-0 from 1969-71. Even then, Amstutz had his eyes on the sidelines. “I remember watching those great Toledo teams with Chuck Ealey and Mel Long,” said Amstutz. “And I remember thinking, I want to be the coach here some day. I didn’t even realize there was a whole staff of assistant coaches. I just knew there was a coach and I wanted to do that.” Amstutz enrolled at UT in 1973 and eventually earned a spot on the football team in his sophomore year in 1974 under Head Coach Jack Murphy. He started seven games at offensive guard in his junior season, and lettered again in his senior year. Amstutz stayed on as a student assistant for the 1977 season while he completed work on his bachelor’s degree in physical education. The following season, Head Coach Chuck Stobart added Amstutz to his staff, assigning him to coach the offensive tackles and tight ends. Later, Amstutz moved to the defensive line and stayed on the defensive side of the ball for the rest of his days as an assistant. Amstutz left Toledo in 1987 to join Elliot Uzelac’s staff at Navy. He stayed at Navy for three seasons, returning to Toledo in 1990 under new Head Coach Nick Saban. Amstutz remained on the Toledo staff when Gary Pinkel took over as head coach in 1991. Amstutz was elevated to defensive coordinator in 1994 and assistant head coach in 1999.

ROCKETS ARE 43-6 AT HOME IN LAST 49 GAMES Toledo’s win over Eastern Michigan on Nov. 3 gave it a 5-2 home record in 2007 and moved its record to 43-6 in its last 49 games in the Glass Bowl. The

streak goes back to the middle of the 1999 season. MOVIN’ ON UP With the win over Iowa State on Sept. 22, Tom Amstutz moved into sole possession of second place on UT’s alltime victory list ahead of Dan Simrell. Amstutz now has 55 career wins as the Rockets’ leader. Gary Pinkel, now at Missouri, leads with 73 wins. UT All-Time Coaching Wins Coach (Years) Record Pct.

FIVE ROCKET STARTERS MISSED ALMOST ALL OF 2007 SEASON Senior FS Tyrrell Herbert, senior CB Nigel Morris, sophomore DE Douglas Westbrook, senior DE Sean Williamson and redshirt freshman OL Jan Gewont all missed virtually the entire season with injuries. Morris, Herbert, Williamson and Gewont were hurt in the season-opener vs. Purdue on Sept. 1, while Westbrook went down at Kansas on Sept. 15. INJURIES FORCE AMSTUTZ TO SHUFFLE HIS QUARTERBACKs Starting quarterback Aaron Opelt twice went down with injuries in 2007, forcing head coach Tom Amstutz to play true freshman D.J. Lenehan. Lenehan was thrust into the starting role for three games, and acquitted himself quite well. Lenehan debuted in the fourth quarter of Toledo’s 42-28 loss to Western Michigan on Sept. 29 when Opelt and backup Clint Cochran both went down with injuries. Lenehan was 0-of-2 passing vs. the Broncos but moved the Rockets in for a touchdown thanks to two pass interference calls. Lenehan started against Liberty on Oct. 6 and led the Rockets to a 35-34 win. He finished 19-of-23 for 226 yards, including a 28-yard TD pass in the third quarter. He started the contest red-hot, completing his first 11 passes.

2007 Notes and Highlights In a 43-33 loss at Buffalo the following week, Lenehan threw for 307 yards and three touchdowns. He was 32-of-50 passing with one interception. When Opelt was injured again late in the Ball State game on Nov. 13, Lenehan moved into the starting role again for the Bowling Green game. Cochran came on in relief in that game and threw for 202 yards and one TD. YOUTH MOVEMENT FOR THE ROCKETS A total of 43 freshmen and sophomores saw action for the Rockets, which hopefully bodes well for the 2008 season. The numbers break down as follows: • True freshmen played: 11 • Redshirt freshmen played: 9 • Sophomores played: 23 • Juniors played: 9 • Seniors played: 16* * Two seniors, Tyrrell Herbert and Sean Williamson, received injury hardship redshirts waivers and will return in 2008. ROCKETS DOMINATE NORTHERN ILLINOIS IN RECORD-SETTING 70-21 VICTORY Toledo’s 70-21 victory over Northern Illinois on Oct. 27 had Rocket historians scrambling for the record books. Here are some of the records that were broken or nearly broken in the win: • 812 yards of total offense set a MAC record. The previous mark was 733 set by Marshall vs. Buffalo in 2002. The 812 yards was the most by an FBS (NCAA I-A) school in 2007. • 70 points is the most points the Rockets have ever scored against a MAC opponent. The previous mark was 65 set vs. Eastern Michigan in 2002. The alltime mark is 88 set vs. Davis & Elkins in 1951. • 10 touchdowns was the secondmost in school history. • 42 first-half points ranks tied for third in school history. • 35 first downs ranked second in

school history, one shy of the record set against Western Michigan in 2004. • PK Alex Steigerwald tied a school record with 10 extra points. ANOTHER BIG CROWD IN THE GLASS BOWL Attendance for the Purdue game on Sept. 1 was a near-capacity 26,100, the largest crowd since the Toledo-Bowling Green game on Nov. 23, 2004. That game against the Falcons drew 31,981. The crowd for the Purdue game was the 24th-largest in Glass Bowl history.
