LAS VEGAS, Nev.&nbsp;-- September 18, 2021&nbsp;--&nbsp;The Chadron&nbsp;State College volleyball team fell to&nbsp;0-2&nbsp;against Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opponents&nbsp;after losing&nbsp;21-25, 15-25, and 22-25&nbsp;at New Mexico Highlands&nbsp;(3-7)&nbsp;Saturday night.&nbsp;

The Cowgirls' success can be&nbsp;attributed&nbsp;to setter Soliel Gandara,&nbsp;who saw all setting duties for Highlands Saturday night.&nbsp;She&nbsp;had 36 assists against the Eagles, which helped her team&nbsp;to land 44 kills&nbsp;and a hit percentage of .270 on the evening.&nbsp;&nbsp;

First-year&nbsp;middle hitter&nbsp;Aiyana Fujiyama&nbsp;offensively and defensively led the Eagles, amounting to 10 kills and seven blocks.&nbsp;Libero&nbsp;Rylee Greiman&nbsp;finished the night with 10 digs.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Assist&nbsp;leaders were&nbsp;setters&nbsp;Devyn Volz&nbsp;with 12 and&nbsp;Audrey Bennett&nbsp;with 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"We lost," said Head Volleyball Coach&nbsp;Jennifer Stadler.&nbsp;"[Highlands]&nbsp;came to play and we struggled to get things going."&nbsp;

The Eagles will be at home for the first time this season next weekend. They will host Black Hills State Friday&nbsp;the 24th&nbsp;and South Dakota Mines Saturday the 25th. Both matches start at 6 p.m.

&nbsp; COLORADO SPRINGS -- September 13, 2021 --&nbsp;Chadron State College senior kicker and punter&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7947">Gunnar Jones</a>, of Florence, Alabama, was announced on Monday as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, for his performance on Saturday in Chadron. Against 22nd-ranked Angelo State, Jones connected from 45 yards for a field goal, which was a career high for him and the longest successful field goal try by a CSC player since 2014. He added a perfect 3-for-3 effort on point-after-touchdown tries, for six points in the game. On kickoff team, he averaged 63.4 yards on five attempts, with three going for touchbacks. He added a tackle on one of his kickoffs. Finally as a punter, he booted kicks of 71, 56, and 53 yards en route to a 51.2-yard average, nearly clipping the school single-game record of 51.4, held by Steve Nelson since 1973. Jones planted two of his punts inside the Angelo State 20-yard line. Jones is the first RMAC Special Teams Player of the Week since&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6738">Drake Holdren</a>&nbsp;last fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;

CSC's Jones earns RMAC weekly honor for punting, kicking success

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — For the first time since Peyton Manning retired after winning Super Bowl 50, the Denver Broncos may have a quarterback. All it took was 11 tries. Teddy Bridgewater threw two touchdowns in his first start and the Broncos dominated possession and beat the Giants 27-13, spoiling the return of New York running back Saquon Barkley after a long ACL rehabilitation. Acquired in the offseason from Carolina, Bridgewater hit 28 of 36 passes for 264 yards, sharing the ball with nine different receivers. The 28-year-old hit Tim Patrick on a go-ahead 2-yard TD pass with :08 left in the half.

KEARNEY, Neb. -- September 11, 2021 --&nbsp;The Chadron State College volleyball team&nbsp;drops&nbsp;to 2-5&nbsp;after the final day of the&nbsp;Rosella&nbsp;Meier UNK Fall Classic on Saturday. The team lost&nbsp;in four sets to the Southern Nazarene Crimson Storm, despite&nbsp;improved play across the board.&nbsp;

The Eagles performed best in the second set in which they won 25-23.&nbsp;&nbsp;They had 14 kills, four errors, and a hitting percentage of .313, which was their second-best hitting percentage of the season after&nbsp;recording a .414 percentage in set one of their&nbsp;match&nbsp;against Minnesota-Crookston last week.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"We came out with a little bit more fire than yesterday gut had trouble defensively," said&nbsp;CSC&nbsp;Head Volleyball Coach&nbsp;Jennifer Stadler.&nbsp;"We&nbsp;need to clean up some things on our side and stay&nbsp;consistent&nbsp;towards the end of the sets."&nbsp;

Leading in kills was&nbsp;Chadron native&nbsp;Allie Ferguson.&nbsp;The sophomore outside hitter&nbsp;tied with&nbsp;Olivia Moten-Schell&nbsp;with nine on the day.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Middle hitter&nbsp;Micaiah Vrbka&nbsp;and setter&nbsp;Audrey Bennett&nbsp;led both&nbsp;teams with five blocks apiece. Bennett also led the Eagles in assists with 16.&nbsp;&nbsp;

For their first Rocky Mountain Athletics Conference match, the&nbsp;Eagles will travel to Alamosa, Colo.&nbsp;next weekend on Friday, September 17 to face Adams&nbsp;State&nbsp;(4-5). The game will start at 7 P.M. MT.&nbsp;

Eagle volleyball drops final match in Kearney Classic

&nbsp; CHADRON, Neb. -- September 11, 2021 --&nbsp;Chadron State dominated most of the first half against 22nd-ranked Angelo State on Saturday afternoon at Elliott Field, building a 24-0 lead before the Rams scored with 51 second remaining before halftime.&nbsp; But the top-25 visitors from Texas ruled during the second half and squeezed past the Eagles 28-24 in the non-conference clash played in 90-degree temperatures.&nbsp; "This is a top 25 team, and they showed it today," said CSC Head Football Coach&nbsp;Jay Long. "Our guys competed, we were in the game the whole way, and we had an opportunity to win at the end. We have to find a way to get in the end zone at the end, because we're right there. Today we played a lot better than we played last week. This is more like the team that we are." The Eagles were led by their special teams, which blocked four Angelo State field goal tries and two punts.&nbsp; However, the Rams rolled up 469 total net yards, including 249 in the second half, and limited the Eagles to just 230 total yards and only 38 in the second half. Angelo State, ranked No. 22 in NCAA II entering the game, opened by driving 70 yards before being forced to attempt a 22-yard field goal that was blocked by CSC freshman Josh Zink and returned 27 yards by&nbsp;Jeremiah Gutierrez.&nbsp; The Eagles promptly drove 68 yards with tailback&nbsp;Elijah Myles&nbsp;going the final three. Chadron State moved on top 14-0 on their next possession with quarterback&nbsp;Dalton Holst&nbsp;running to 19 yards before hitting&nbsp;Chad Mikelson&nbsp;with an eight-yard touchdown pass. With six minutes left in the second quarter, Holst connected with a wide open&nbsp;Montel Gladney&nbsp;on a 72-yard scoring pass.&nbsp; Moments later the hosts recovered a fumble by Angelo State quarterback Zach Bronkhorst and converted it into a 45-yard field goal by Gunner Jones to go ahead 24-0. As the first half was ending, Bronkhorst completed a 33-yard pass to CJ Odom, then ran for 12 yards before scoring on a one-yard sneak for Angelo State's first points. The Eagles blocked an Angelo State punt and a field goal try early in the second half, but couldn't convert them into points. The Rams soon got a break when Holst, while lunging for a first down, lost that ball at midfield.&nbsp; The Texans' Leddy French recovered it and raced 38 yards to the Eagles' 13. Bronkhorst scored three plays later on a six-yard run. With just a minute left in the third quarter, Bronkhorst connected with wiry receiver Kellen Pachot (5-11, 155 pounds) on a 53-yard pass play for a touchdown. Then, three minutes into the fourth quarter the pair hooked up again on a 43-yard scoring toss that put the Rams ahead 28-24. Meanwhile, the Eagles had not managed a first down in the half, but the special teams gave them another chance when safety&nbsp;Brendan Brehmer&nbsp;blocked a Rams' punt midway in the fourth stanza.&nbsp; Chadron State was stifled again inside the red zone that time, but in the final three minutes knocked on the door again. &nbsp;After a six-yard pass from Holst to&nbsp;Cole Thurness&nbsp;and a six-yard run by Chris Busby finally netted first downs, a pass interference call against the Rams gave CSC a first and goal at the Angelo State two. However, the Eagles lost four yards on a running play against the rugged Angelo State defense, and two passes fall incomplete before the Rams sacked Holst on fourth down to blunt the opportunity. CSC Coach&nbsp;Jay Long&nbsp;said he naturally was delighted with the special teams' spectacular play, but added something must be done to get the Eagles into the end zone late in the game.&nbsp; They also stalled on in a similar situation the previous week at Western Colorado. Bronkhorst completed 17 of 33 passes for 230 yards and ran 15 times for 67 yards. Nat Omayebu led the Rams in rushing with 13 carries for 70 yards. Holst clicked on 16 of 29 passes for 159 yards, but no one rushed for more than 29 yards for the Eagles.&nbsp; Thurness caught six passes for 37 yards. The Eagles will host South Dakota Mines next Saturday night.&nbsp;&nbsp;

DENVER (AP) — Thairo Estrada hit two of San Francisco’s four home runs, Kevin Gausman pitched seven solid innings and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 to maintain their one-game lead in the NL West. Darin Ruf and Buster Posey also went deep to give San Francisco 206 home runs this season. Toronto also connected four times at Yankee Stadium to retain the major league lead with 210. Handed an 8-1 lead by the fifth, Gausman gave the Giants’ overworked bullpen a rest. He also singled and scored a run. It was the first time two Colorado-grown pitchers started against each other at Coors Field. Rockies lefty Kyle Freeland was tagged for seven runs and four homers in 4 1/3 innings.

Chadron State finishes season-opening tournament 2-2

&nbsp; Lincoln -&nbsp;Nebraska produced a dominant and balanced performance with more than 300 yards on the ground and through the air on its way to a 52-7 win over Fordham on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Playing in front of the NCAA-record 376th consecutive sellout, which featured nearly 86,000 in attendance for Nebraska's first home game with fans since Nov. 29, 2019,&nbsp;Adrian Martinez&nbsp;completed 17-of-23 passes for 254 yards and one touchdown, while adding eight carries for 33 yards and two more scores to help the Big Red even its record at 1-1 on the season. Martinez engineered a Husker offense that rolled up well over 600 yards of total offense, including 327 rushing and 304 passing yards.&nbsp;Markese Stepp&nbsp;led the Big Red ground game with 101 yards on 18 carries, while&nbsp;Sevion Morrison&nbsp;added 31 yards on nine carries including a pair of short touchdown runs. Seven different Huskers finished with at least 25 rushing yards in the game. Samori Toure&nbsp;pitched in a big game for Nebraska with eight receptions for 133 yards, while adding three carries for 35 yards including a touchdown run. Tight end&nbsp;Austin Allen&nbsp;hauled in four catches for 61 yards, while&nbsp;Omar Manning&nbsp;had three receptions for 54 yards. Martinez helped the Huskers build a 38-7 lead midway through the third quarter, before&nbsp;Logan Smothers&nbsp;took the field at quarterback. The freshman from Muscle Shoals, Ala., led the Huskers on a successful scoring drive and had the Big Red knocking on the door on his second drive early in the fourth quarter before a fumble ended the Nebraska threat deep inside Fordham territory.&nbsp;Smothers bounced back to lead another long scoring drive on his third possession, capped by&nbsp;Marvin Scott III's&nbsp;six-yard touchdown run to make it 52-7 Huskers with 1:43 left in the game.&nbsp; Overall, Nebraska rushed the ball 64 times and&nbsp;the Husker rushing total likely would have been far greater if not for an historic defensive performance by Fordham's&nbsp;Ryan Greenhagen. The senior middle linebacker from Sparta, N.J.,&nbsp;became the first opposing defender in the history of Nebraska football to record 30 tackles against the Huskers. His record-breaking final tackle came on Fordham's last stop of the day, just before Scott's touchdown run. Greenhagen's tackle total tied the Memorial Stadium record set by Husker Clete Pillen against Oklahoma State on Nov. 6, 1976. Nebraska's defense surrendered just 292 total yards on the afternoon, holding Fordham to 129 rushing yards on 28 carries. The Rams managed 163 passing yards, as Tim DeMorat completed 18-of-30 passes but was intercepted three times by the Blackshirts.&nbsp;Deontai Williams&nbsp;pulled down two of the interceptions for the Huskers, while adding four tackles.&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42805">JoJo Domann</a>&nbsp;snagged the other interception while pitching in five stops. Nebraska led 7-0 at the end of the first quarter thanks to a four-yard touchdown run by Martinez with 3:59 left in the period. Fordham tied the score early in the second quarter on DeMorat's 31-yard touchdown pass to Fotis Kokosioulis with 14:14 left in the first half. After that, it was all Huskers.&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42800">Connor Culp</a>&nbsp;put Nebraska on top less than three minutes later with his 39-yard field goal to make it 10-7. Martinez then pushed NU's lead to 17-7 with his second four-yard scoring run of the day to make it 17-7 with 3:56 left in the half. The Big Red's lead grew to 24-7 at the half after&nbsp;Sevion Morrison's&nbsp;one-yard touchdown blast with 29 seconds remaining before halftime. Nebraska's defense continued to put the clamps down on the Rams before Martinez connected with&nbsp;Chancellor Brewington&nbsp;on a two-yard touchdown pass to make it 31-7 with 8:24 left in the third. NU extended the margin to 38-7 less than five minutes later when Toure took an option pitch from Martinez and scampered into the end zone from eight yards out. The Huskers ran 95 plays compared to just 58 for the Rams, and Nebraska dominated time of possession 36:00-24:00. Nebraska was also penalized just two times for 10 yards. The Huskers return to home action next week when they take on Buffalo. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium is set for 1:30 p.m. (MT) with live television coverage by the Big Ten Network.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; GUNNISON, Colorado -- September 4, 2021 --&nbsp;The Chadron State College football team lost 23-10 on Saturday afternoon at Gunnison, Colorado, to Western Colorado University in a game in which CSC was plagued with miscues. "You can't win a football game with four turnovers and as many penalties as we had," said CSC Head Football Coach&nbsp;Jay Long. Your first game back, you're always going to have mistakes, and we had too many. We played sloppy." The Eagles had all the momentum early, when on the first play of their second possession of the game,&nbsp;Elijah Myles&nbsp;broke free on a run up the middle and cruised 80 yards for a touchdown, making the score 7-0 in the first quarter. After a defensive stop by the Eagles, the misfortunes began with a fumbled punt return by&nbsp;Cole Thurness&nbsp;which was recovered by the Mountaineers. That led to a 49-yard field goal make by Western kicker Alec Fonseca. CSC took possession again, up 7-3, but a muffed punt formation snap inside CSC's own 20-yard-line led to three more points for Western. Leading 7-6, CSC drove the ball inside the Mountaineers' 20-yard line in the second quarter to set up a 35-yard kick by&nbsp;Gunnar Jones&nbsp;and the Eagles went up 10-6. CSC's&nbsp;Bobby Peele&nbsp;had an interception on a deep ball thrown by Western's Connor Desch, just before the half. However, Desch led two second-quarter touchdown drives to take a 20-10 lead into the locker room. "I thought our defense stopped the run fairly well," said Long. "When they moved the ball, it was because they found something down the field. When we watch film, though, we're going to see where we would have liked a few more takeaways." The Mountaineers held CSC scoreless in the second half, with Fonseca hitting another field goal to go ahead 23-10. Late in the fourth, a CSC drive stalled on the goal line which potentially could have put the Eagles back within one score. A fourth down pass to tight end&nbsp;Riley Schliep&nbsp;sailed high, ricocheted off the goalpost, and fell incomplete near the goal line, and Western salted away about three minutes of game time. No statistics or complete play-by-play were available immediately following the game. A box score will be posted at chadroneagles.com, however, when one is generated by the host school. "On opening weekend, half the teams win and half the teams lose," said Long. We're going to fix some things, and come back and play better. When we play sloppy that comes back on us. We have to be better. We're not going to win games if we play that undisciplined."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 </figure>By: Kaleb Center, CSC Sports Information Director<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/stats/2021/western-colorado/boxscore/3717">Box Score</a>&nbsp; GUNNISON, Colorado -- September 4, 2021 --&nbsp;The Chadron State College football team lost 23-10 on Saturday afternoon at Gunnison, Colorado, to Western Colorado University in a game in which CSC was plagued with miscues. "You can't win a football game with four turnovers and as many penalties as we had," said CSC Head Football Coach&nbsp;Jay Long. Your first game back, you're always going to have mistakes, and we had too many. We played sloppy." The Eagles had all the momentum early, when on the first play of their second possession of the game,&nbsp;Elijah Myles&nbsp;broke free on a run up the middle and cruised 80 yards for a touchdown, making the score 7-0 in the first quarter. After a defensive stop by the Eagles, the misfortunes began with a fumbled punt return by&nbsp;Cole Thurness&nbsp;which was recovered by the Mountaineers. That led to a 49-yard field goal make by Western kicker Alec Fonseca. CSC took possession again, up 7-3, but a muffed punt formation snap inside CSC's own 20-yard-line led to three more points for Western. Leading 7-6, CSC drove the ball inside the Mountaineers' 20-yard line in the second quarter to set up a 35-yard kick by&nbsp;Gunnar Jones&nbsp;and the Eagles went up 10-6. CSC's&nbsp;Bobby Peele&nbsp;had an interception on a deep ball thrown by Western's Connor Desch, just before the half. However, Desch led two second-quarter touchdown drives to take a 20-10 lead into the locker room. "I thought our defense stopped the run fairly well," said Long. "When they moved the ball, it was because they found something down the field. When we watch film, though, we're going to see where we would have liked a few more takeaways." The Mountaineers held CSC scoreless in the second half, with Fonseca hitting another field goal to go ahead 23-10. Late in the fourth, a CSC drive stalled on the goal line which potentially could have put the Eagles back within one score. A fourth down pass to tight end&nbsp;Riley Schliep&nbsp;sailed high, ricocheted off the goalpost, and fell incomplete near the goal line, and Western salted away about three minutes of game time. No statistics or complete play-by-play were available immediately following the game. A box score will be posted at chadroneagles.com, however, when one is generated by the host school. "On opening weekend, half the teams win and half the teams lose," said Long. We're going to fix some things, and come back and play better. When we play sloppy that comes back on us. We have to be better. We're not going to win games if we play that undisciplined."&nbsp;&nbsp;

She also had four assists. Leading the team in assists was freshman setter&nbsp;Audrey Bennett&nbsp;with 31. Second to Greiman, she also got 11 digs. "For the first day, I thought we saw some great things and some things to which we definitely need to make some adjustments," said head coach&nbsp;Jennifer Stadler. "We have to keep minimizing our errors and stay aggressive throughout the set and for the full match." The Eagles won their evening match by sweeping the Minnesota-Crookston Golden Eagles.

🏐| Eagles stunned in season opener, then rally to sweep Minnesota-Crookston

CHADRON, Neb. -- September 1, 2021 -- With 20 seniors on the roster, several of whom will be playing their fifth season, there's much optimism and few questions marks concerning the Chadron State College football team that will open its schedule by playing the Western Colorado Mountaineers in Gunnison on Saturday. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m.

Head Coach&nbsp;Jay Long&nbsp;said he's excited about the season. He thinks this year's team has lots of talent to go with the experience and will be well prepared after practicing all of last fall and finding a way to play four games while many teams played none, and then having 39 practices during the spring, including controlled scrimmages against Northern Colorado and Wayne State.

"I'm extremely excited about this season," Head Coach&nbsp;Jay Long&nbsp;said. "It's going to be a unique season. A lot of teams haven't played for two years. Thankfully, that doesn't include us. We think we're going to have a really good team. "We'll have to prove that one game at a time."

Long added that while many teams didn't have any games last fall because of the COVID 19 pandemic, most of them continued to practice and may have made some changes that will surprise their opponents this fall.

"Most teams have practiced at least 100 times since they played a game," the coach noted. "Every team should be knowledgeable and fired up about finally have a chance to play. I know our guys are ready to get after it against somebody besides their teammates."

Long also noted that the Eagles aren't the only team with a large number of seniors. He says many players who were slated to play their final season last fall feel they were cheated and have returned for another year of competition.

The Mountaineers appear to be something of an exception. There are only nine seniors on the roster, but eight of them have an R in front of Sr., meaning they have been redshirted and this is at least their fifth year in college.

Playing the Western Mountaineers has had an interesting sidelight in recent years. That's because their three leading coaches have Chadron State connections.

Head Coach Jas Bains was on the Eagles' staff five years, three of them as the special teams coordinator, before moving to Gunnison as an assistant. He's now in his 11th year as the head mentor.

Todd Auer spent 23 years at CSC, including the last 17 as the defensive coordinator when the Eagles often led the RMAC in numerous defensive categories. This is his sixth season in that position with the Mountaineers. CSC fans still remember Auer's competitive nature. His wife is Chadron native Kim Olson.

And, Joe McLain, one of the Eagles' all-time great players, signed on as the Western quarterback coach and passing game coordinator in 2019. While quarterbacking the Eagles 2005-08, McLain threw

for 8,011 yards and 70 touchdowns. Equally impressively, Chadron State won 38 of the 42 games that he started during his career.

Long said he has great respect for the trio and knows the Eagles will be going up against a well-coached team on Saturday.

While several of the RMAC teams did not attempt to schedule games last fall, Western tried but after Covid continued to take its toll and forced numerous cancellations, the Mountaineers managed to play just one game. It resulted in a 64-7 loss to Stephen F. Austin, a Division I program in Texas.

The Chadron State-Western rivalry dates back to the late 1930s, when they played twice. There

wasn't much scoring in that era. The Mountaineers won the 1938 game 7-0 while the next year neither team scored, resulting in a 0-0 tie.

The teams have met every year except 2020 since the Eagles joined the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in 1990. CSC won that game 43-38 while the following year Western prevailed 51-49.

The Eagles lead the all-time series 23-12-1 and have won 18 of the 20 contests this century. The first exception was in 2016, when Western's star running back, Austin Ekeler, carried 37 times for 283 yards and clinched the 24-15 decision with a 69-yard scoring jaunt midway in the fourth quarter.

For Western State, Ekeler was what Danny Woodhead had been to the Eagles a decade earlier. He's now carrying the ball for the Los Angeles Chargers and is in the midst of a four-year $24.5 million contract.

The Mountaineers also edged the Eagles in 2019, the last time the teams met in Gunnison. Western had a 27-12 halftime lead and scored only once in the second half, but it was on a 47-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Connor Desch to wide receiver Malcom Wesley with 2:35 to play and a 33-32 win.

Both Desch, a 6-3, 190-pound junior, and Wesley, a 5-11, 175-pound sophomore, are still on the Western roster. Another Mountaineer, Will Lydle, a 6-1, 270-pound defensive lineman, was a first-team all-RMAC choice at the end of the 2019 season.

Chadron State's lineup is stocked with proven players.

Quarterback&nbsp;Dalton Holst&nbsp;is the starting quarterback for the fifth season, counting last year's shortened slate. He's completed 698 passes for 9,115 yards and 76 touchdowns. He needs to throw for 1,100 yards this fall to match Jonn McLain's CSC career passing yards record.

Long, who played center for the Eagles and snapped the ball to CSC Hall of Famers Trevor Long and Matt Strand and was Jonn McLain's coach, says Holst has all the qualities those quarterbacks possessed. In addition, Long said the entire team respects Holst's leadership skills and demeanor.

Holst will be protected by the same five starters in the offensive line who were there last fall. Among them is 6-5, 315-pound senior left tackle Justine Calderon, a first-team All-RMAC choice in 2019.

The receiving corps is led by&nbsp;Cole Thurness, who also is playing his fifth year and recently earned Academic All-American honors. He's caught 139 passes for 1,911 yards and 19 touchdowns and also is an exceptional kick returner. He's twice been voted the Eagles' MVP by his teammates.

At running back, the Eagles will feature&nbsp;Elijah Myles, who carried 200 times for 1,077 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2019.

The Eagles' most improvement from 2019 is expected to be on defense. While CSC ranked second in total offense in the RMAC that season at 457.7 yards a game, they were ninth in total defense after giving up 414.7 yards per game.

Since then, some transfers have been added and the unit has more experienced depth, an important commodity in an era of "hurry-up" offenses that try to run nearly 100 plays.

"We'll rotate a lot of linemen and backs on defense," Coach Long noted. "We've also got some young linebackers who will be able to give the three seniors we have there a break."

Defensive leaders include linebacker&nbsp;Travis Wilson, who led the RMAC in tackles with 124 in 2019, cornerback&nbsp;Jeremiah Gutierrez, who was credited with 12 pass breakups in '19 and lineman&nbsp;Brendan Hopkins, another fifth-year player who is 6-3, 300 pounds and helps give the defensive front more size than ever before.

Overall, the Eagles return all 15 of their leading tacklers from last fall. A newcomer a year ago, cornerback&nbsp;Bobby Peele, picked off three passes in the four games after intercepting 12 in 19 games at College of the Sequoias in California the previous two years.
