PRODUCTIVE AND BALANCED: The Vulcans are among the nation’s most productive and balanced offenses in the early part of the 2008 season. Cal U ranks No. 17 in scoring offense at 38.33 points per game, while averaging 477.67 yards of total offense per game. The Vulcans also rank eighth in the country with 254.33 rushing yards per game, while also passing for 223.33 yards per game. Cal U is one of only three teams - Ouchita Baptist (Ark.), Indiana (Pa.) - in the nation averaging more than 250 rushing yards and more than 220 passing yards per game. LOMBARDY REACHES MILESTONE: In last week’s 54-0 victory against Lake Erie, senior running back Brandon Lombardy became just the third player in school history to rush for 3,000 yards in a career. The Ohio native also scored two touchdowns to tie former All-American Antoine Bagwell for second place in school history with 41 rushing touchdowns, a mark which ranks No. 11 in PSAC history. RETURN MEN: The Vulcans offense has benefited from generous starting field position all season, in part due to the return specialists. Through three games, Cal U leads the PSAC and ranks No. 13 in nation with 27.82 yards per kickoff return behind the performances of sophomore Windell Brown and Freddie Bacco. The Vulcans are also among the national leaders with 13.83 yards per punt return. Last weekend, Marcel Pestano became the first Cal U player to return a punt for a touchdown since the 2005 season. SCHEDULE CHALLENGES: The Vulcans have opened the season with three of their first four opponents ranked in the AFCA Top 25 poll at the time of the game. This weekend’s opponent, the Fighting Scots, moved into the latest edition of the weekly poll at No. 23 after opening the season with three-straight road victories.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (Sept. 6) – After trailing by 14 points at halftime against No. 18 Bloomsburg, the Vulcans rallied to tie the contest at 14-14 before the Huskies scored 10-straight points en route to a 24-17 victory at Redman Stadium. The loss snaps a 12-game regular season winning streak by Cal U. With the constant rainfall due to the path of Tropical Storm Hanna, the play selection for both teams was shifted to the running game. Bloomsburg amassed 325 yards and two touchdowns on 55 carries. Meanwhile, Cal used its trio of running backs to finish the game with 196 rushing yards and one touchdown on 41 attempts. Senior running back Daine Williams paced the Vulcans’ ground game with 90 yards on 17 attempts. The Huskies took a 14-0 lead into halftime after rushing for 220 yards on 31 carries in the opening two quarters. However, the Vulcans answered from a halftime deficit with an impressive third quarter by scoring touchdowns on a 49-yard completion from quarterback Kevin McCabe to wide receiver Marcel Pestano and a 38-yard run by sophomore Windell Brown. Bloomsburg responded with a 35-yard field goal before the Huskies returned a McCabe interception 52 yards to claim a 24-14 lead with only eight second left in the third quarter. The Vulcans were in position to score on their final possession of the game, but were unable to convert fourth-and-15 from the Huskies’ 33-yard line in the final minutes of the game. Sophomore linebacker Guy Hurt led the defense with eight tackles (four solo), while fellow linebacker Jake Howell added seven stops. SCORING SUMMARY 1st 11:55 BU S. Adams 4 yd run (J.

CALIFORNIA (Sept. 13) – The No. 16 Vulcans featured six different players that scored touchdowns in a 54-0 victory against Lake Erie. As a team, the Vulcans rushed for 347 yards and five touchdowns on 39 attempts against the Storm. Junior running back Freddie Bacco led all players with a career-high 143 yards and one touchdown on 11 attempts. Senior Brandon Lombardy rushed for 76 yards and a pair of touchdowns on six carries. He became just the third player in school history to rush for 3,000-plus yards in a career (3,019). Already leading 14-0, senior Marcel Pestano capped the scoring in the first quarter with a 45-yard punt return for a touchdown. His punt return for a touchdown was the first by a Vulcan since Marc Huddleston returned a punt for a score at Mansfield in 2005 (Sept. 10). Pestano also received one of two touchdown passes by graduate student Kevin McCabe, who completed 11-of-15 attempts for 177 yards with no interceptions while playing just the first half. In addition to the high-scoring offense, the Vulcans were dominant on defense in the first half, allowing Lake Erie to collect only three first downs and 24 yards of total offense. Junior linebacker Matt McClellan led the Vulcans’ defense with seven tackles, 2.0 TFL and 1.5 sacks, while junior defensive lineman Willie Walker registered a team-best 2.0 sacks in the contest.

LAST EDINBORO MEETING CAL U MOVES TO 8-0 FOR FIRST TIME SINCE UNBEATEN SEASON OF 1958 WITH 26-8 WIN ON HOMECOMING CALIFORNIA (Oct. 20) - With a 26-8 Homecoming win over Edinboro University, the Vulcans posted their first 8-0 start to a season for the first time since 1958 when they finished the year at a perfect 8-0. Against the Fighting Scots, quarterback Joe Ruggiero completed 14-of-19 attempts for 147 yards and two second-half touchdowns. With his 162 yards of total offense in the game, Ruggiero moved into third place in school history with 6,511 yards of total offense in his career. After a scoreless first quarter, Cal opened the scoring when senior linebacker Gary Butler recorded a safety on the first play of the second quarter. The Vulcans then converted the ensuing possession into points when ruuning back Brandon Lombardy rushed for a 10-yard touchdown. Lombardy rushed for a game-high 97 yards on 24 carries. In the third quarter, Ruggiero threw a 40-yard touchdown strike to wide reciever Jermaine Moye with 5:05 left in the quarter to give Cal a 19-0 edge. Defensive end Kirby Griffin, who also served as an extra blocker in short-yardage situtations, sealed the victory with a two-yard touchdown reception from Ruggiero with 1:47 left in the game. Linebacker Brian Mohr led the defensive charge for the Vulcans with 10 tackles (five solo), 1.0 tackle for loss (TFL) and 1.0 sack. Butler and fellow linebacker Darren Burns each added six stops and combined for 3.0 TFL and 1.5 sacks. In the victory, kicker Tyler Lorenz became just the second kicker in team history to convert 20 career field goals when he made a 29-yard field goal in the second quarter.

PRODUCTIVE AND BALANCED: The Vulcans are among the nation’s most productive and balanced offenses in the early part of the 2008 season. Cal U ranks No. 17 in scoring offense at 38.33 points per game, while averaging 477.67 yards of total offense per game. The Vulcans also rank eighth in the country with 254.33 rushing yards per game, while also passing for 223.33 yards per game. Cal U is one of only three teams - Ouchita Baptist (Ark.), Indiana (Pa.) - in the nation averaging more than 250 rushing yards and more than 220 passing yards per game. LOMBARDY REACHES MILESTONE: In last week’s 54-0 victory against Lake Erie, senior running back Brandon Lombardy became just the third player in school history to rush for 3,000 yards in a career. The Ohio native also scored two touchdowns to tie former All-American Antoine Bagwell for second place in school history with 41 rushing touchdowns, a mark which ranks No. 11 in PSAC history. RETURN MEN: The Vulcans offense has benefited from generous starting field position all season, in part due to the return specialists. Through three games, Cal U leads the PSAC and ranks No. 13 in nation with 27.82 yards per kickoff return behind the performances of sophomore Windell Brown and Freddie Bacco. The Vulcans are also among the national leaders with 13.83 yards per punt return. Last weekend, Marcel Pestano became the first Cal U player to return a punt for a touchdown since the 2005 season. SCHEDULE CHALLENGES: The Vulcans have opened the season with three of their first four opponents ranked in the AFCA Top 25 poll at the time of the game. This weekend’s opponent, the Fighting Scots, moved into the latest edition of the weekly poll at No. 23 after opening the season with three-straight road victories.

CALIFORNIA – In the season-opener, the No. 5 Vulcans featured an explosive offense led by quarterback Kevin McCabe and receiver Marcel Pestano en route to a 44-32 victory over No. 16 West Chester. The win extends the Vulcans’ regular-season win streak to 12 games. McCabe completed 30-of-36 attempts for 297 yards with two touchdowns – both to Pestano, who posted 11 catches for 112 yards. Cal amassed a total of 517 yards of total offense against West Chester, including 220 yards on the ground. Senior running back Daine Williams led all players with 102 yards on 17 carries with two touchdowns. With the Golden Rams leading 19-16 at halftime, the Vulcans seized control of the contest in the second half by scoring 21-straight points in the third quarter with three touchdowns. The Golden Rams trimmed the deficit to 37-25 with a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, however, the Vulcans sealed the victory with a seven-yard score by senior Brandon Lombardy with 8:13 left in the game to increase the lead to 44-25. Senior Juan Butler paced the Cal U defense with seven tackles (six solo). As a team, the Vulcans held the Golden Rams to only 71 rushing yards and forced three turnovers, including two interceptions.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (Sept. 6) – After trailing by 14 points at halftime against No. 18 Bloomsburg, the Vulcans rallied to tie the contest at 14-14 before the Huskies scored 10-straight points en route to a 24-17 victory at Redman Stadium. The loss snaps a 12-game regular season winning streak by Cal U. With the constant rainfall due to the path of Tropical Storm Hanna, the play selection for both teams was shifted to the running game. Bloomsburg amassed 325 yards and two touchdowns on 55 carries. Meanwhile, Cal used its trio of running backs to finish the game with 196 rushing yards and one touchdown on 41 attempts. Senior running back Daine Williams paced the Vulcans’ ground game with 90 yards on 17 attempts. The Huskies took a 14-0 lead into halftime after rushing for 220 yards on 31 carries in the opening two quarters. However, the Vulcans answered from a halftime deficit with an impressive third quarter by scoring touchdowns on a 49-yard completion from quarterback Kevin McCabe to wide receiver Marcel Pestano and a 38-yard run by sophomore Windell Brown. Bloomsburg responded with a 35-yard field goal before the Huskies returned a McCabe interception 52 yards to claim a 24-14 lead with only eight second left in the third quarter. The Vulcans were in position to score on their final possession of the game, but were unable to convert fourth-and-15 from the Huskies’ 33-yard line in the final minutes of the game. Sophomore linebacker Guy Hurt led the defense with eight tackles (four solo), while fellow linebacker Jake Howell added seven stops. SCORING SUMMARY 1st 11:55 BU S. Adams 4 yd run (J.

CALIFORNIA (Sept. 13) – The No. 16 Vulcans featured six different players that scored touchdowns in a 54-0 victory against Lake Erie. As a team, the Vulcans rushed for 347 yards and five touchdowns on 39 attempts against the Storm. Junior running back Freddie Bacco led all players with a career-high 143 yards and one touchdown on 11 attempts. Senior Brandon Lombardy rushed for 76 yards and a pair of touchdowns on six carries. He became just the third player in school history to rush for 3,000-plus yards in a career (3,019). Already leading 14-0, senior Marcel Pestano capped the scoring in the first quarter with a 45-yard punt return for a touchdown. His punt return for a touchdown was the first by a Vulcan since Marc Huddleston returned a punt for a score at Mansfield in 2005 (Sept. 10). Pestano also received one of two touchdown passes by graduate student Kevin McCabe, who completed 11-of-15 attempts for 177 yards with no interceptions while playing just the first half. In addition to the high-scoring offense, the Vulcans were dominant on defense in the first half, allowing Lake Erie to collect only three first downs and 24 yards of total offense. Junior linebacker Matt McClellan led the Vulcans’ defense with seven tackles, 2.0 TFL and 1.5 sacks, while junior defensive lineman Willie Walker registered a team-best 2.0 sacks in the contest.

LAST EDINBORO MEETING CAL U MOVES TO 8-0 FOR FIRST TIME SINCE UNBEATEN SEASON OF 1958 WITH 26-8 WIN ON HOMECOMING CALIFORNIA (Oct. 20) - With a 26-8 Homecoming win over Edinboro University, the Vulcans posted their first 8-0 start to a season for the first time since 1958 when they finished the year at a perfect 8-0. Against the Fighting Scots, quarterback Joe Ruggiero completed 14-of-19 attempts for 147 yards and two second-half touchdowns. With his 162 yards of total offense in the game, Ruggiero moved into third place in school history with 6,511 yards of total offense in his career. After a scoreless first quarter, Cal opened the scoring when senior linebacker Gary Butler recorded a safety on the first play of the second quarter. The Vulcans then converted the ensuing possession into points when ruuning back Brandon Lombardy rushed for a 10-yard touchdown. Lombardy rushed for a game-high 97 yards on 24 carries. In the third quarter, Ruggiero threw a 40-yard touchdown strike to wide reciever Jermaine Moye with 5:05 left in the quarter to give Cal a 19-0 edge. Defensive end Kirby Griffin, who also served as an extra blocker in short-yardage situtations, sealed the victory with a two-yard touchdown reception from Ruggiero with 1:47 left in the game. Linebacker Brian Mohr led the defensive charge for the Vulcans with 10 tackles (five solo), 1.0 tackle for loss (TFL) and 1.0 sack. Butler and fellow linebacker Darren Burns each added six stops and combined for 3.0 TFL and 1.5 sacks. In the victory, kicker Tyler Lorenz became just the second kicker in team history to convert 20 career field goals when he made a 29-yard field goal in the second quarter.
