IN GOOD COMPANY Quarterback Steve Probst is the only quarterback in the CAA this season to throw for over 1,100 yards and rush for over 250 yards. In addition, Probst and Villanova signal-caller Chris Whitney are the only CAA quarterbacks with six touchdowns this season. NEW PLACE ... GOOD RESULTS Quarterback Steve Probst, linebacker Chris Edmond and wide receiver Billy Morgan all transferred to Rhode Island prior the 2010 season and have made an immediate impact.

Morgan, has made five starts and currently ranks fourth on the team in receiving. After this season, Probst and Edmond will both have one year of eligibility, while Morgan will have two years remaining at URI. HURD PICKS UP A PAIR OF WEEKLY HONORS Rhode Island freshman running back Travis Hurd picked up a pair of weekly honors on Oct. 18 as he was named CAA Football Special Teams Player of the Week and Kickoff Returner of the Week by collegefootballperformance. com following his performance at No. 2/2-ranked Delaware this past Saturday. Hurd became the third Rhody player this season to earn a CAA weekly award after he totaled a career-high 154 all-purpose yards in the Rams’ narrow 24-17 loss to No. 2/2-ranked Delaware. The Rhody freshman earned the award after he took a kickoff 75 yards to the endzone just before halftime, which cut the Blue Hens’ lead to 24-14. On the day Hurd returned a total of three kicks for 98 yards, rushed the ball seven times for 20 yards and hauled in two catches for 36 yards. HANGING TOUGH WITH THE BLUE HENS Rhode Island became the first team this season to hold Delaware scoreless for an entire half on Oct. 16. The Rhody defense buckled down and held the Blue Hens scoreless during the second half. URI also held Delaware to just 106 yards of total offense in the final 30 minutes. To date, URI is the only team to hold Delaware scoreless for an entire half. PROBST NAMED CAA FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK AND EARNS NEW ENGLAND GOLD HELMET AWARD Following his career-high three touchdown performance against Brown, junior quarterback Steve Probst was named CAA Football Player of the Week on Oct. 4.

RAMS RECLAIM THE GOVERNOR’S CUP Rhody re-claimed the Governor’s Cup trophy following its 27-24 overtime win against in-state rival Brown on Oct. 2. The Governor’s Cup trophy is awarded to the team, which wins the annual Rhode Island-Brown matchup. Since 1981 - the first season in which the two teams played for the Governor’s Cup Trophy - URI holds a 16-13 record against the Bears.

RAMS’ DEFENSE COMES UP BIG AGAINST NEW HAMPSHIRE In the Rams’ 28-25 victory over then No. 8/8-ranked New Hampshire, the Rhode Island defense propelled URI to its first win over a top 10 team since 2007 with an amazing performance. Against UNH, the Rams sacked quarterback R.J. Toman a season-high six times, limited the UNH ground attack to just 59 yards and forced the Wildcats into three turnovers, including a fumble that was returned 39 yards to endzone by defensive end James Timmins. WELCOME BACK BJF After missing most of the 2009 season with a turf toe injury, sophomore wide receiver Brandon Johnson-Farrell made his return to the gridiron on Sept. 2 against Buffalo. Since his return to the lineup, the Maryland native has totaled 563 all-purpose yards (267 - receiving; 10 - punt returns; 286 - kickoff returns) this season.

Senior Victor Adesanya forced the fumble as he dropped quarterback R.J. Toman in the backfield for the Rams sixth sack of the afternoon. Defensively, Rhody held the Wildcats to just 59 yards rushing. Rhody’s victory over New Hampshire was the Rams first win over the Wildcats since 2003 and its first over a ranked team since 2008 when URI downed Brown back in 2008.

Sophomore running back Ayo Isijola had a game-high 98 yards on the ground and junior Steve Probst rushed for 95 yards and a score.
KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island junior quarterback Steve Probst rushed into the endzone to lift the Rams past Brown, 2724, in the 29th annual Governor’s Cup game. A total of 7,622 fans were on hand for the game - the best Meade Stadium crowd in 10 years. Probst’s game-winning touchdown was his third of the day. The URI signal-caller finished the game by going 22-of-38 for 187 yards through the air, connecting with six different receivers. He also rushed for 59 yards on the ground. Sophomore running back Ayo Isijola led the Rams ground attack as he rushed for 97 yards on just 16 carries (6.1 average). Fellow sophomore Brandon Johnson-Farrell led all Rhody receivers with nine catches for 104 yards both of which were career highs for the Maryland native. Defensively for the Rams, seniors Dan O’Connell and Joe Harris each recorded nine tackles apiece.
Rhody opened the scoring thanks to a 20-yard field goal by kicker Louis Feinstein. Feinstein’s field goal was set up by a fumble recovery on the UNH four-yard line.
The Rams Governor’s Cup victory is their first since 2008. Since the two teams began playing for the Governor’s Cup Trophy in 1981, URI has posted a 16-13 record against its in-state rival.
New Hampshire took the lead on its next offensive series after quarterback R.J. Toman rushed in from 28-yards out to give the Wildcats a 7-3 lead. UNH went on to increase its lead to 12 as wide receiver Terrance Fox hauled in a 21-yard pass from Toman. The Wildcats then converted a two-point conversion to make the score 15-3.
Rhody opened the scoring in the first quarter thanks to a blocked punt by cornerback Jarrod Williams. Williams then fell on the ball in the endzone to give the Rams a 7-0 lead. The Pennslyvania native finished the game with four tackles, one tackle for loss and an interception.
The Rams fought back and scored 10 unanswered points to make the count 15-13 at halftime. Junior Anthony Baskerville caught his second touchdown of the year and Feinstein drilled a 23-yard field goal.
Brown came right back with a score of its own as Kyle Newhall-Caballero hit Alexa Tounkara on a slant pattern, the senior wide then escaped a tackle and darted to endzone for a 61-yard pitch and catch.
In the third quarter, UNH added a field goal to take an 18-13 lead, but in the fourth, Rhody outscored the Wildcats 15-7 to secure the win.
The Rams reclaimed the lead on their next offensive possession as Probst rushed in from five yards out to give URI a 14-7 lead. Probst’s five-yard rush capped a 10-play, 70 yard drive, which spanned 3:43.
No. 8/8 New Hampshire Rhode Island
Both teams were held scoreless in the second quarter and Rhody took a 14-7 lead into the locker room.

JOE TRAINER
HEAD COACH | SECOND season Dickinson ‘90 Joe Trainer, a veteran of nearly 20 years of college football coaching experience, begins his third season at the University of Rhode Island and his second as head coach. In his first season as head coach, Trainer oversaw a defensive unit that ranked second in the CAA in turnover margin. During the 2009 campaign, the Rams gained a league-best 15 fumbles and picked off 11 passes. Offensively, the Rhody made tremendous strides down the stretch as it averaged 352.3 total yards of offense per game in its final three contests. Following the 2009 season, Rhody had three individuals earn CAA all-conference honors, including linebacker Rob Damon, who also earned Sports Network All-America accolades. Off the field, Trainer places a strong emphasis on academics. This past season, 10 Rhode Island players earned Academic All-Conference, including defensive lineman Matt Rae, who was named ESPN The Magazine/CoSida District II All-Academic First Team. Trainer was introduced as head coach on Feb. 27, 2009 when the University selected him as its 19th head coach in school history. “I can not tell you how honored and humbled I am to be the head coach at the University of Rhode Island,” Trainer said at his introductory press conference. “It is truly an honor that I am going to embrace and I am going to make everyone associated with this program proud of the way we conduct ourselves from the head coach all the way down to the team manager.” Trainer returned to Rhode Island after he joined the coaching staff at Bowling Green back in December 2008 where he served as the Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator under two-time Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Coach of the Year Dave Clawson. “Coming back here in a different capacity as a head coach I believe we are going to do great things on the field and above all else we are going to do it the right way,” Trainer explained. “We are not going to cut corners and we are going to make our kids accountable in every phase.” During the 2008 season at Rhode Island, Trainer’s defensive unit forced URI opponents into 11 fumbles, which ranked in the top five of CAA Football. His defensive scheme also allowed linebacker Matt Hansen to finish second in the league in total tackles with 111, as he went on to earn All-CAA Football Second Team and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) All-New England honors.

Prior to his stint at Rhode Island, Trainer spent three seasons as head coach of Millersville University, a member of the powerhouse Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), from 2005-2007. Before heading to Millersville, Trainer spent eight seasons at CAA-rival Villanova, starting out as linebackers coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2005. During his tenure at Villanova, Trainer helped the Wildcats to two conference championships, two NCAA Playoff appearances (1997 and 2004) - including the national semifinals - two Lambert Cups, two wins over I-A schools (Rutgers and Temple), and five top 20 rankings in the final poll. Additionally, the Wildcats were nationally-ranked for a league-record 35 consecutive weeks and posted a school-record 12 wins in 1997. Trainer’s defensive scheme put the Wildcats as No. 1 in the Atlantic 10 in total defense in 2003 and 2004. Villanova finished seventh amongst NCAA Division I-AA schools in scoring defense (16.2 ppg) and 14th nationally in total defense (302 ypg allowed) in 2003. The following year in 2004, Trainer’s defense yielded under 300 yards per game and was second in the A-10 in scoring defense (22.5 ppg). Trainer was also instrumental in helping Brian Hulea earn First Team Atlantic 10 honors in 2003 and 2004. Trainer spent the 1995 and 1996 season at the University of New Haven, where he worked as both linebackers coach and defensive coordinator. In his two seasons at New Haven, Trainer helped the Chargers win 17 games and earn a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Under his tutelage New Haven finished ranked in the Top 20 in both seasons and his defense also established school records for fewest points allowed, points per game allowed, and turnover margin. Off the field, Trainer served as the academic coordinator. The Roslyn, Pa., native began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Temple University in 1990, serving as linebackers coach. Two years later, Trainer took over as linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Frostburg State University, where he also developed and oversaw the teams in-season strength and conditioning program. Following the 1992 season, he joined the coaching staff at Colgate University. While in Hamilton, he coached the outside linebackers and punt and kickoff teams. Trainer received his undergraduate degree in English from Dickinson College in 1990.He then went on to earn his masters degree from Temple University in 1992 and his M.S. in counseling and human relations from Villanova in 2004. Trainer and his wife Moreen are the proud parents of Liam (9), Dillon (7) and Keira (5). The Trainers reside in Saunderstown.

In addition, Probst and Villanova signal-caller Chris Whitney are the only CAA quarterbacks with six touchdowns this season. NEW PLACE ... GOOD RESULTS Quarterback Steve Probst, linebacker Chris Edmond and wide receiver Billy Morgan all transferred to Rhode Island prior the 2010 season and have made an immediate impact.

HURD PICKS UP A PAIR OF WEEKLY HONORS Rhode Island freshman running back Travis Hurd picked up a pair of weekly honors on Oct. 18 as he was named CAA Football Special Teams Player of the Week and Kickoff Returner of the Week by collegefootballperformance. com following his performance at No. 2/2-ranked Delaware this past Saturday. Hurd became the third Rhody player this season to earn a CAA weekly award after he totaled a career-high 154 all-purpose yards in the Rams’ narrow 24-17 loss to No. 2/2-ranked Delaware. The Rhody freshman earned the award after he took a kickoff 75 yards to the endzone just before halftime, which cut the Blue Hens’ lead to 24-14. On the day Hurd returned a total of three kicks for 98 yards, rushed the ball seven times for 20 yards and hauled in two catches for 36 yards. HANGING TOUGH WITH THE BLUE HENS Rhode Island became the first team this season to hold Delaware scoreless for an entire half on Oct. 16. The Rhody defense buckled down and held the Blue Hens scoreless during the second half. URI also held Delaware to just 106 yards of total offense in the final 30 minutes. To date, URI is the only team to hold Delaware scoreless for an entire half. PROBST NAMED CAA FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK AND EARNS NEW ENGLAND GOLD HELMET AWARD Following his career-high three touchdown performance against Brown, junior quarterback Steve Probst was named CAA Football Player of the Week on Oct. 4.

RAMS’ DEFENSE COMES UP BIG AGAINST NEW HAMPSHIRE In the Rams’ 28-25 victory over then No. 8/8-ranked New Hampshire, the Rhode Island defense propelled URI to its first win over a top 10 team since 2007 with an amazing performance. Against UNH, the Rams sacked quarterback R.J. Toman a season-high six times, limited the UNH ground attack to just 59 yards and forced the Wildcats into three turnovers, including a fumble that was returned 39 yards to endzone by defensive end James Timmins.

KINGSTON, R.I. - Freshman James Timmins recovered a fumble and raced 39-yards to the endzone, which propelled the Rhode Island football team (1-2) to a 28-25 victory over No. 8 New Hampshire Saturday afternoon at Meade Stadium. Senior Victor Adesanya forced the fumble as he dropped quarterback R.J. Toman in the backfield for the Rams sixth sack of the afternoon. Defensively, Rhody held the Wildcats to just 59 yards rushing. Rhody’s victory over New Hampshire was the Rams first win over the Wildcats since 2003 and its first over a ranked team since 2008 when URI downed Brown back in 2008. The Rams last win over a top 10 team came back in 2007 when Rhody downed Massachusetts 12-6 in overtime. Offensively, Rhody rushed for 215 yards. Sophomore running back Ayo Isijola had a game-high 98 yards on the ground and junior Steve Probst rushed for 95 yards and a score.
KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island junior quarterback Steve Probst rushed into the endzone to lift the Rams past Brown, 2724, in the 29th annual Governor’s Cup game. A total of 7,622 fans were on hand for the game - the best Meade Stadium crowd in 10 years. Probst’s game-winning touchdown was his third of the day. The URI signal-caller finished the game by going 22-of-38 for 187 yards through the air, connecting with six different receivers. He also rushed for 59 yards on the ground. Sophomore running back Ayo Isijola led the Rams ground attack as he rushed for 97 yards on just 16 carries (6.1 average). Fellow sophomore Brandon Johnson-Farrell led all Rhody receivers with nine catches for 104 yards both of which were career highs for the Maryland native. Defensively for the Rams, seniors Dan O’Connell and Joe Harris each recorded nine tackles apiece.
Rhody opened the scoring thanks to a 20-yard field goal by kicker Louis Feinstein. Feinstein’s field goal was set up by a fumble recovery on the UNH four-yard line.
The Rams Governor’s Cup victory is their first since 2008. Since the two teams began playing for the Governor’s Cup Trophy in 1981, URI has posted a 16-13 record against its in-state rival.
New Hampshire took the lead on its next offensive series after quarterback R.J. Toman rushed in from 28-yards out to give the Wildcats a 7-3 lead. UNH went on to increase its lead to 12 as wide receiver Terrance Fox hauled in a 21-yard pass from Toman. The Wildcats then converted a two-point conversion to make the score 15-3.
Rhody opened the scoring in the first quarter thanks to a blocked punt by cornerback Jarrod Williams. Williams then fell on the ball in the endzone to give the Rams a 7-0 lead. The Pennslyvania native finished the game with four tackles, one tackle for loss and an interception.
The Rams fought back and scored 10 unanswered points to make the count 15-13 at halftime. Junior Anthony Baskerville caught his second touchdown of the year and Feinstein drilled a 23-yard field goal.
Brown came right back with a score of its own as Kyle Newhall-Caballero hit Alexa Tounkara on a slant pattern, the senior wide then escaped a tackle and darted to endzone for a 61-yard pitch and catch.
In the third quarter, UNH added a field goal to take an 18-13 lead, but in the fourth, Rhody outscored the Wildcats 15-7 to secure the win.
The Rams reclaimed the lead on their next offensive possession as Probst rushed in from five yards out to give URI a 14-7 lead. Probst’s five-yard rush capped a 10-play, 70 yard drive, which spanned 3:43.
No. 8/8 New Hampshire Rhode Island
Both teams were held scoreless in the second quarter and Rhody took a 14-7 lead into the locker room.

JOE TRAINER
HEAD COACH | SECOND season Dickinson ‘90 Joe Trainer, a veteran of nearly 20 years of college football coaching experience, begins his third season at the University of Rhode Island and his second as head coach. In his first season as head coach, Trainer oversaw a defensive unit that ranked second in the CAA in turnover margin. During the 2009 campaign, the Rams gained a league-best 15 fumbles and picked off 11 passes. Offensively, the Rhody made tremendous strides down the stretch as it averaged 352.3 total yards of offense per game in its final three contests. Following the 2009 season, Rhody had three individuals earn CAA all-conference honors, including linebacker Rob Damon, who also earned Sports Network All-America accolades. Off the field, Trainer places a strong emphasis on academics. This past season, 10 Rhode Island players earned Academic All-Conference, including defensive lineman Matt Rae, who was named ESPN The Magazine/CoSida District II All-Academic First Team. Trainer was introduced as head coach on Feb. 27, 2009 when the University selected him as its 19th head coach in school history. “I can not tell you how honored and humbled I am to be the head coach at the University of Rhode Island,” Trainer said at his introductory press conference. “It is truly an honor that I am going to embrace and I am going to make everyone associated with this program proud of the way we conduct ourselves from the head coach all the way down to the team manager.” Trainer returned to Rhode Island after he joined the coaching staff at Bowling Green back in December 2008 where he served as the Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator under two-time Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Coach of the Year Dave Clawson. “Coming back here in a different capacity as a head coach I believe we are going to do great things on the field and above all else we are going to do it the right way,” Trainer explained. “We are not going to cut corners and we are going to make our kids accountable in every phase.” During the 2008 season at Rhode Island, Trainer’s defensive unit forced URI opponents into 11 fumbles, which ranked in the top five of CAA Football. His defensive scheme also allowed linebacker Matt Hansen to finish second in the league in total tackles with 111, as he went on to earn All-CAA Football Second Team and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) All-New England honors.

Prior to his stint at Rhode Island, Trainer spent three seasons as head coach of Millersville University, a member of the powerhouse Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), from 2005-2007. Before heading to Millersville, Trainer spent eight seasons at CAA-rival Villanova, starting out as linebackers coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2005. During his tenure at Villanova, Trainer helped the Wildcats to two conference championships, two NCAA Playoff appearances (1997 and 2004) - including the national semifinals - two Lambert Cups, two wins over I-A schools (Rutgers and Temple), and five top 20 rankings in the final poll. Additionally, the Wildcats were nationally-ranked for a league-record 35 consecutive weeks and posted a school-record 12 wins in 1997. Trainer’s defensive scheme put the Wildcats as No. 1 in the Atlantic 10 in total defense in 2003 and 2004. Villanova finished seventh amongst NCAA Division I-AA schools in scoring defense (16.2 ppg) and 14th nationally in total defense (302 ypg allowed) in 2003. The following year in 2004, Trainer’s defense yielded under 300 yards per game and was second in the A-10 in scoring defense (22.5 ppg). Trainer was also instrumental in helping Brian Hulea earn First Team Atlantic 10 honors in 2003 and 2004. Trainer spent the 1995 and 1996 season at the University of New Haven, where he worked as both linebackers coach and defensive coordinator. In his two seasons at New Haven, Trainer helped the Chargers win 17 games and earn a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Under his tutelage New Haven finished ranked in the Top 20 in both seasons and his defense also established school records for fewest points allowed, points per game allowed, and turnover margin. Off the field, Trainer served as the academic coordinator. The Roslyn, Pa., native began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Temple University in 1990, serving as linebackers coach. Two years later, Trainer took over as linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Frostburg State University, where he also developed and oversaw the teams in-season strength and conditioning program. Following the 1992 season, he joined the coaching staff at Colgate University. While in Hamilton, he coached the outside linebackers and punt and kickoff teams. Trainer received his undergraduate degree in English from Dickinson College in 1990.He then went on to earn his masters degree from Temple University in 1992 and his M.S. in counseling and human relations from Villanova in 2004. Trainer and his wife Moreen are the proud parents of Liam (9), Dillon (7) and Keira (5). The Trainers reside in Saunderstown.
