Allegheny College Quick Facts
Coach Raeburn’s Comments
“We’ve had some good, focused practices over the past two weeks since playing Hampden-Sydney. But we won’t know for sure what improvements we’ve made until we get out on the field Saturday. Our hope is that these last two weeks have been productive. Defensively we played well against Hampden-Sydney other than the first series when we gave up the field goal. We challenged every yard and made them earn everything. We also did a good job up front on the offensive line. We controlled the line of scrimmage and ran the ball well.” On being ready to play: “Every week you have to stay focused on your team and what you need to do to get better. Allegheny is still a young football team. They have a lot of freshmen and sophomores playing for them. We have a more experienced group of players. We may feel confident going into the game, but if we go in overconfident, don’t practice hard, and don’t prepare like we do every week then we’ll leave Pennsylvania disappointed with the result in the same way we were disappointed with the result in 2012.”
On Allegheny: “Allegheny has played two games already, so that should be helpful for them. Coaches believe the most improvement comes between the first two games of the season. For young guys like the players from Allegheny there is no substitute for game experience. That’s an advantage for them. Offensively they have a more senior-laden group of receivers and have a lot of experience on that side of the football. That game maturity and experience will help them a lot. Defensively Nick Murgo was the Newcomer of the Year in our conference. He has close to 30 tackles through the first two games. He’ll be a real challenge for us. We have to run the ball well to be effective. He’s been a problem for teams to block through the first two games.”
Allegheny Preview
The Gators are coming off a pair of losses to open the 2015 season — a 37-21 road loss at Thiel and a 28-13 defeat versus Wooster in the Allegheny and NCAC home opener. The loss to the Scots Saturday night marked the 13th consecutive home loss for the Gators dating back to 2012.
Allegheny has split the quarterbacking duties between veteran starter Jon Nigro (JR/5-10/180/Allison Park, PA/Hampton) and freshman Logan Lee (6-2/190/Shrewsbury, MA/St. Mark’s). Nigro has completed 17-of-33 passes for 266 yards and three scores. Lee enters the week 7-of-15 for 93 yards with a TD and two interceptions. Tyler Smith (SR/WR/5-8/170/Hanover, PA/Delone Catholic) leads the receiving corps with seven catches for 2015 yards and three TDs. He also leads the team in all-purpose yardage with 309 total yards, cindluing 29 rushing and 65 on kickoff returns. John McFarland (JR/ TE/6-2/225/Whittier, CA/La Serna) owns the only other receiving touchdown for team on one of his five catches through two games. The ground attack has struggled for yards through the first two games for the Gators. Juwan Campbell (JR/RB/5-7/200/Waldorf, MD/ McDonough) tops the totals with 42 yards on 15 attempts with the lone rushing touchdown for Allegheny. In addition to Smith’s yards, Nick Deichler (SR/RB/5-10/200/Berlin Heights, OH/Firelands) has run for 18 yards in 16 tries. Nick Murgo (SO/MLB/6-2/230/Warren, RI/Mount Hope) earned NCAC Newcomer of the Year honors in 2014 with 107 total tackles, the second-highest total in the league. He’s back on pace again this year, leading the Gators with 28 stops, including a sack and 2-1/2 tackles for losses. Matt Wetzel (SO/SLB/5-10/205/Lockport, NY/ Starpoint) has 13 tackles in two games.

Allegheny College Quick Facts
Coach Raeburn’s Comments
“We’ve had some good, focused practices over the past two weeks since playing Hampden-Sydney. But we won’t know for sure what improvements we’ve made until we get out on the field Saturday. Our hope is that these last two weeks have been productive. Defensively we played well against Hampden-Sydney other than the first series when we gave up the field goal. We challenged every yard and made them earn everything. We also did a good job up front on the offensive line. We controlled the line of scrimmage and ran the ball well.” On being ready to play: “Every week you have to stay focused on your team and what you need to do to get better. Allegheny is still a young football team. They have a lot of freshmen and sophomores playing for them. We have a more experienced group of players. We may feel confident going into the game, but if we go in overconfident, don’t practice hard, and don’t prepare like we do every week then we’ll leave Pennsylvania disappointed with the result in the same way we were disappointed with the result in 2012.”
On Allegheny: “Allegheny has played two games already, so that should be helpful for them. Coaches believe the most improvement comes between the first two games of the season. For young guys like the players from Allegheny there is no substitute for game experience. That’s an advantage for them. Offensively they have a more senior-laden group of receivers and have a lot of experience on that side of the football. That game maturity and experience will help them a lot. Defensively Nick Murgo was the Newcomer of the Year in our conference. He has close to 30 tackles through the first two games. He’ll be a real challenge for us. We have to run the ball well to be effective. He’s been a problem for teams to block through the first two games.”
Allegheny Preview
The Gators are coming off a pair of losses to open the 2015 season — a 37-21 road loss at Thiel and a 28-13 defeat versus Wooster in the Allegheny and NCAC home opener. The loss to the Scots Saturday night marked the 13th consecutive home loss for the Gators dating back to 2012.
Allegheny has split the quarterbacking duties between veteran starter Jon Nigro (JR/5-10/180/Allison Park, PA/Hampton) and freshman Logan Lee (6-2/190/Shrewsbury, MA/St. Mark’s). Nigro has completed 17-of-33 passes for 266 yards and three scores. Lee enters the week 7-of-15 for 93 yards with a TD and two interceptions. Tyler Smith (SR/WR/5-8/170/Hanover, PA/Delone Catholic) leads the receiving corps with seven catches for 2015 yards and three TDs. He also leads the team in all-purpose yardage with 309 total yards, cindluing 29 rushing and 65 on kickoff returns. John McFarland (JR/ TE/6-2/225/Whittier, CA/La Serna) owns the only other receiving touchdown for team on one of his five catches through two games. The ground attack has struggled for yards through the first two games for the Gators. Juwan Campbell (JR/RB/5-7/200/Waldorf, MD/ McDonough) tops the totals with 42 yards on 15 attempts with the lone rushing touchdown for Allegheny. In addition to Smith’s yards, Nick Deichler (SR/RB/5-10/200/Berlin Heights, OH/Firelands) has run for 18 yards in 16 tries. Nick Murgo (SO/MLB/6-2/230/Warren, RI/Mount Hope) earned NCAC Newcomer of the Year honors in 2014 with 107 total tackles, the second-highest total in the league. He’s back on pace again this year, leading the Gators with 28 stops, including a sack and 2-1/2 tackles for losses. Matt Wetzel (SO/SLB/5-10/205/Lockport, NY/ Starpoint) has 13 tackles in two games.

Soccer Starts Season With Four Shutouts and 5-0 Record The Wabash College soccer team scored three victories last week to improve to 5-0 to begin the 2015 season. The Little Giants posted a pair of 5-0 shutouts versus Manchester and Anderson after getting a game-winning goal from Francisco Trejo (SO/Houston, TX/KIPP Houston) in double overtime to defeat Earlham College 2-1 at home.
Jacques Boulais (FR/F/Indianapolis, IN/North Central) scored three goals Friday and Saturday in the Raven-Spartan Classic, including the game-winner in the Little Giants’ 5-0 win at Anderson Saturday afternoon. He leads Wabash with four goals for the season and is tied for the Little Giants’ top point total with nine.
Dayton Jennings (JR/GK/Noblesville, IN/Noblesville) recorded his second shutout of the season and 12th of his career in Friday night’s 5-0 win at Manchester. Chase Francoeur (JR/ GK/Seymour, IN/Columbus North) picked up his first full shutout of the year Saturday, giving him 3-1/2 for his career. Wabash has allowed just the lone goal to Earlham through five games this season. The victory last Wednesday versus the Quakers marked the 11th consecutive home match without a loss. Jacques Boulais
