prior. to. the. 2004. season,. Bemidji. State.head.coach.JeffTesch.made.two.state-ments,.each.of.which.eventually.came.to.
be.-.in.spades.. Tesch. stated,. “A. redshirt. freshman. must. come.through.for.us,”.and.“If.we’re.fortunate.enough.to.be.a.good.football.team,.we’ll.be.good.for.a.long.time.”. Freshmen.more.than.stepped.up.for.the.pro-gram.in.2004:.running.back.TylerOlson.(Alvara-do,.Minn.).helped.BSU.lead.the.NSIC.in.rushing,.set.a.school. record. for. rushing.yardage.and. tie.the.school.mark. for. rushing.yards.per.game.by.setting. three. single-season. freshman. records;.safety. Jeremiah Johnson (Glidden, Iowa) fin-ished.second.in.the.NSIC.and.ranked.nationally.in. tackles-per-game;. . and. placekicker. MichaelMcDonald.(Muskegon,.Mich.).set.school.season.records.for.successful.PAT.kicks.and.scoring.by.a.kicker..Olson.was.named.Second-Team.All-NSIC.for. his. efforts,. while. Johnson. was. Honorable-Mention.All-NSIC.. With each of those players back on the field to.headline.a.group.of.a.dozen.returning.starters,.the.2005.football.season.at.Bemidji.State.could.officially be Year Two of “good for a long time.”
OFFENSEBemidji.State’s.offense.proved.to.be.one.of. the.most explosive in the nation in 2004, finishing second.in.the.NSIC.and.ninth.in.the.nation.with.an. average. of. 38.4. points. per. game.. The. team.scored 40 or more points in each of its first five games. of. the. year,. extending. a. streak. of. con-secutive.40-point.scoring.games.to.seven.dating.to.the.end.of.the.2003.season..Additionally,.the.unit finished third in the NSIC and 16th nation-ally.in.total.offense,.led.the.NSIC.in.rushing.with.a.school.record-tying.229.0.yards.per.game.and.led.the.NSIC.in.time.of.possession.. Many.of. the.key.components. from. that. jug-gernaut. return. for. 2005,. meaning. more. of. the.same.for.opposing.defenses..BSU.returns.a.se-nior. quarterback. who. last. year. posted. just. the.fifth 2,000-yard, 20-touchdown season in school history and arguably the finest one-two running back.punch.in.the.NSIC. The offense has holes to fill on the offensive line,. with. the. coaches. looking. to. replace. three.11-game.starters.from.a.year.ago,.and.at.receiver.where. returning.players.combined. to.catch. just.47.passes..BSU’s.leading.returning.receiver.had.15.receptions.a.year.ago.-.and.that.was.running.back.Tyler.Olson.
•QuarterbackQuarterback. was. perhaps. BSU’s. biggest. ques-tion.mark.on.offense.entering. the.2004.season,.as.the.program.had.to.face.the.unexpected.early.departure.of.Jason.Smith,.who,.had.he.returned,.would.have.been.on.pace.to.set.school.records.in.most.career.passing.categories.. However,.then-junior.NathanSannes.(Fertile,.Minn.) stepped in and more than filled the void. Sannes.assembled.a.steady.season.highlighted.by.several.huge.efforts,.including.a.record-shat-tering 500-yard, five-touchdown effort in a Sept. 11.shootout. loss.at.Chadron.State..Sannes.be-came the first passer in school history to throw a. touchdown. pass. in. every. game. of. a. season,.and. enters. the. 2005. campaign. on. a. school-re-cord.streak.of.11.games.with.a.scoring.toss..He.
became just the fifth passer in school history to throw. for. 2,000. yards. and. 20. touchdowns. and.finished amongst the Top Five on BSU’s single-eason. recordbooks. in. completions,. yardage,.touchdowns,.completion.percentage.and.rating.. “He.did.even.more.than.we.though.he.could,”.Tesch. said. of. his. senior-to-be.. “We. thought. he.was a good field general and had a feel for the of-fense..We.knew.he’d.make.plays,.but.he.showed.some.evasiveness,.had.the.ability.to.run.the.op-tion.and.get.out.of.trouble..He.was.very.consis-tent.and.didn’t.make.mistakes.”. Sannes’s. stranglehold. on. the. starting. quar-terback.position.has.BSU.set. for.2005,.and.the.evolution.of.redshirt.freshman.TomProut.(Grand.Forks,.Minn.).should.have.the.program.set.for.the.next.three.years.as.well.. Prout. completed.9.of. 16.passes. for. for. 157.yards.and.a. touchdown. in.BSU’s. spring. scrim-mage,.and.showed.good.mobility.by.adding.24.yards.on.the.ground.. “He.did.a.great. job.of. improving.as.the.spring.went.on,”.Tesch.said.of.his.backup.quarterback’s.progression.. “He’s. very. athletic. and. it. would. be.nice.to.get.him.into.the.game..If.he.continues.to.im-prove,.we’ll.have.a.nice.quarterback.ready.to.go.”
•RunningBackSimply put, Bemidji State should field the best one-two.punch.at. running.back. in. the.Northern.Sun. Intercollegiate. Conference. when. the. 2005.season.kicks.off.. Redshirt.freshman.TylerOlson.put.to.rest.any.fears.as.to.whether.a.back.would.step.forward.to.continue.BSU’s.pedigree.of.running.back.excel-lence.since.Tesch.took.over. in.1996..All.he.had.to. do. was. successfully. follow. the. footsteps. of.BSU’s.second-leading.career.rusher.Chris.Meyer.(1996-99). and. the.10th-leading. rusher. in.NCAA.history,.Eddie.Acosta.(1999-2003).. No.problem.. Olson started 10 games and finished his debut. campaign. as. the. NSIC’s. second-leading.rusher. and. ranked.18th.on. the.Division. II. rush-ing. leaderboards.with.123.4.yards.per.game.. In.a. tantalizing. preview. of. the. possible. future. of.the.Bemidji.State. career. recordbook,.Olson. set.BSU.freshman.single-season.records.for.rushing.yardage,.rushing.touchdowns,.total.touchdowns.scored.and.points.scored.. “Tyler. is. a. football. player,”. Tesch. said.. “He.won’t.be.fantastic. in.testing.for.speed.or.things.like.that,.but.he’s. just.a.player..He’s.productive,.he.holds.onto.the.ball,.he.can.catch.and.he.can.block..He.just.gets.the.job.done.out.there.”. Olson.averaged.5.1.yards.per.carry,.but.was.a.grinder..In.242.carries,.he.had.just.one.rush.of.longer.than.25.yards.-.that.coming.on.a.29-yard.scamper in BSU’s season finale.. Behind. Olson. stands. diminutive. burner. Al-varoCarvajal.(San.Francisco,.Calif.),.the.proto-typical. “change-of-pace”. back.. Carvajal. rushed.for.558.yards.on.100.carries.and.scored.seven.touchdowns,.including.a.49-yard.scamper.which.was.BSU’s.longest.running.play.of.the.year.. “Al.worked.extremely.hard. to.get. himself. to.the. point. where. he. was. ready. to. play,”. Tesch.said..“He.had. talent.and.he. tested.well,.he. just.needed.to.improve.on.some.areas.of.his.game.”. The.BSU.coaching.staff.looked.for.a.variety.of.ways to get Carvajal on the field in 2004, and will
continue.to.strive.for.opportunities.to.put.the.ball.in.the.senior’s.hands.in.2005.. “In.the.spring.he.was.probably.ahead.of.Tyler.and.battling.for.the.[starting].spot,”.Tesch.said.of.Carvajal. “We definitely have to get him out there by. formation. -. whether. that. be. two-back. sets.with. fullback/tailback. or. two. tailbacks.. But. he.deserves.his.reps.even.if.we’re.in.one-back.sets.. “The.problem.we.had.last.year.was.having.a.productive.1,200-yard.back.and.it’s.tough.to.take.him.out.of. the.game..We.were.predominantly.a.one-back. system. last. year. and. it. was. tough. to.get two guys on the field. He’s worked hard, and we need to find ways to get him on the field.”. Jeremy Gettel. (Stewart,. Minn.). established.himself. as. pound-for-pound. perhaps. the. stron-gest.player.on.the.BSU.roster.last.year.and.made.an.impact.at.fullback.as.a.redshirt.freshman..He.had just five touches - four carries and one recep-tion.-.but.scored.a.touchdown.on.the.ground.. “Gettel. is.a.solid.player,.and.about.as.tough.a.kid.as.we.have,”.Tesch.said..“He’s.going.to.be.there.week-in.and.week-out..He’s.a.good.block-er.and.we. found.out. last. year.he.can.catch.on.screens. We have worked on trying to find a way to.get.him.the.ball.three.to.four.times.per.game.on.runs.and.screens.and.have.him.not.out.there.just.to.block.”
•WideReceiverTesch.feels.Bemidji.State’s.talent.at.wide.receiver.could.be.as.good.as.he’s.had.in.his.nine.years.in.Bemidji..Those. familiar.with.BSU’s. recent. tradi-tion.at.receiver.know.those.to.be.strong.words.. Since.Tesch.took.over.in.1996,.BSU.receivers.have. rewritten. the. school. recordbooks.. BSU’s.top.two.career.spots.in.receptions.and.receiving.yardage.are.held.by.Tesch-era.players,.as.are.the.top.three.spots.in.career.receiving.touchdowns.. However,. BSU’s. 2005. receiving. corps. com-bined.to.catch.29.passes.for.380.yards.and.two.touchdowns. in.2004.-.with.13.catches.and.160.yards.coming.from.a.backup.quarterback.. Chad Christianson. (Hudson,. Wis.). returns.from. an. injury-plagued. season. which. saw. him.play.just.three.games.and.post.four.receptions... “Chad’s. a. good. football. player. who’s. had. a.couple.of.years.of.nagging.injuries,”.Tesch.said..“We.hope.this.is.a.time.for.Chad.to.shine..When.he’s.healthy,.he’s.a.very.good.football.player.”. The. Beavers. will. also. look. for. big. contribu-tions.from.returners.ErickNewman.(Naples,.Fla.).and.Randall Griffin.(Joliet,.Ill.)..Newman.caught.six balls for 86 yards a year ago, while Griffin had two.catches.for.16.yards.. “Newman. got. his. feet. wet. last. year,. and. at.times.showed.he.had.hands.as.good.as.any.on.the field,” Tesch said. “He has running back skills to.make.guys.miss.and.will.compete.every.down.. “Griffin is tall, fast and athletic,” Tesch added. “He.needs.to.learn.to.be.more.competetive.on.ev-ery.down,.but.he’s.physical.and.that.will.come.”. Junior.transfer.JonathanHawks.(Gainesville,.Ga.).made.his.case.for.a.top.receiver.spot.in.the.BSU. lineup. during. the. team’s. spring. game.. A.2004.NSIC.track.sprint.champion,.Hawks.hauled.in.three.passes.for.a.team-high.42.yards.during.the.spring.scrimmage.. “Between.screens.and.a.deep-ball.home.run.threat,. Jonathan. provides. us. with. the. fastest.player.we’ve.ever.had,”.Tesch.said..“Now.we.just.

need to find out if he’ll be a player, get into the game and make plays on the field.”. Position.changes.also.could.be.key.to.BSU’s.success.at.receiver.in.2004..AnthonySchreiber.was.BSU’s.backup.quarterback.a.year.ago,.and.senior.OzzeyWilliams. (Toledo,.Ohio).moves. to.wideout.from.running.back.. “We. moved. Ozzey. to. wide. receiver. in. the.spring,.and.it’s.a.good.spot.for.him,”.Tesch.said..“He.has. speed,. he.catches.well. and.he.played.receiver. in. junior. college.. he. has. proven. speed.and.abilty;.he.just.has.to.make.plays.” Schreiber’s move was predicated on finding the.most-effective.way.to.get.one.of.the.team’s.premier athletes onto the field in a position which would.allow.him.to.make.plays.. “We’ve.found.a.good.way.to.get.Anthony.onto.the field and share the wealth,” Tesch said. “He’s a.home-run.threat.out.there,.and.brings.a. lot.of.speed.on.screens..He’s.a.good.athlete.and.was.feeling.himself.out.last.year.”. The.receiver.positions.will.also.give.freshmen.an.opportunity.to.contribute.immediately..GeorgeKadlec.(Lockport,.Ill.).could.have.an.opportunity.to see the field as a true freshman, as could true freshman.AaronDavis.(Plain.City,.Ohio).. “This. is,. as. a. whole,. as. talented. a. group. of.guys.as.we’ve.had,”.Tesch.said..“Now.they.just.need.to.go.out.there.and.perform.”
leading.candidate.to.carry.that. torch..Pearson’s.main.competition.will. come. from. junior. transfer.TimLawrence.(Chicago,.Ill.).. “Chase.has.knowledge.of.our.program.and.is.a.tough.kid,”.Tesch.said..“Tim.has.been.battling.some.injuries.and.trying.to.learn.the.system.. “We.have. felt.we.could.do.some. rotation.at.guard.and. tackle.pretty.easily,.but.at.center. it’s.tough,”. Tesch. said.. “We. had. two. dependable,.rock-solid. kids. there. for. seven. years.. Now. we.need to find out who that next guy will be. You can’t flip guys in and out at center.”. Sophomores.JustinGuy. (Blaine,.Minn.). and.JohnKeaveney. (St..Cloud,.Minn.).are.the.early.favorites to fill the left guard position vacated by Vollbrecht’s.move.to.right.guard..Guy.has.previ-ous.experience.in.the.program.on.defense.. “Justin.has.come.back.with.a. renewed.atti-tude,”.Tesch.said..“He.did.a.nice.job.in.the.spring.and.is.getting.used.to.being.over.there.. “John.was.a. reserve.guy. last.year,.and.now.it’s.time.for.him.to.step.up.”. Right. tackle. is.open. for.competition.as.well,.with.redshirt.freshman.NathanMahlik.(Two.Riv-ers, Wis.) the leading candidate to fill the role.. “Nathan.has.a.lot.of.ability,”.Tesch.said..“He.has.no.game.experience,.but.he’s.a.big.kid.who.tests out well. It’s time to apply that on the field.”. DanRoscoe. (Wayzata,.Minn.). is.a.Division.I.transfer.who.began.his.career.at.Wisconsin..He’l.provide.additional.competition. for.Mahlik.at. the.right.tackle.spot.
•Overview“I. think. the. highlight. of. this. offense. will. be. our.skill.guys,”.Tesch.said..“We.feel.real.good.about.those.positions..We.have.a.solid.quarterback.in.Sannes;.a.proven.back.in.Olson.and.a.great.one-two. punch. there. with. Olson. and. Carvajal.. We.think.we.have.as.much.talent.as.we’ve.ever.had.at. receiver;. it’s. just.not.game-proven.talent..We.have.a.lot.of.skill.out.there.”. But. Tesch. was. careful. to. point. out. that. de-spite.the.arsenal.of.weapons.available.to.the.of-fense,. that.unit.would.only.be.as.successful.as.the.line.allows.it.to.be.. “How.the. line.shapes.up.will.determine.how.far. the. offense. goes,”. Tesch. said.. “We. need. to.find an answer at center, left guard is up in the air
DEFENSEBemidji.State’s.defense.continued.its.recent.his-tory. of. steady. improvement. from. year. to. year,.finishing with some impressive statistical per-formances. BSU finished second in the NSIC in scoring.defense,.surrendering.just.over.22.points.per. game,. second. in. rushing. defense,. third. in.sacks.and.fourth.in.total.defense.. The. Beavers. shut. out. each. of. their. last. two.opponents in 2004, marking the team’s first back-to-back.shutouts.in.more.than.20.years..

•DefensiveLineBemidji. State’s. three-man. front. on. defense. will.be. anchored. by. All-NSIC. end. James Midboe.(Climax,.Minn.),.honored.by.the.league’s.coaches.as.pre-season.Co-Defensive.Player.of.the.Year.. Midboe. led. the. team. in. sacks. and. tackles-for-loss.even. though.he.battled. through. injuries.as.a. junior..He.was.hobbled.by.an.ankle.which.required.surgery.in.the.off-season.which.affected.his.ability.to.explode.off.the.line.. “Midboe’s.strength.is.as.a.pass-rusher,”.Tesch.said..“He.has.a.high.motor.when.he’s.running.and.chasing.people.down..He.has.been.working.on.his.run.blocking,.but.that.has.to.do.with.his.size..We’re. looking. for. him. to. take. that. really,. really.great.next.step.and.are.looking.forward.to.a.gret.year.out.of.him.”.

Sophomore. Zach Stafford. (Fergus. Falls,.Minn.).will.continue.to.hold.down.the.nose.tackle.spot..He.started.all.11.games.at.nose.guard.for.the.Beavers.as.a.freshman.a.year.ago.. “Stafford.is.one.of.the.good,.young.tackles.in.the. league,”.Tesch.said..“He.did.a.good. job.this.spring. and. summer. of. preparing. himself. for. this.year..He’s.bigger.and.stronger.and.can.handle.the.physicality.of.the.position.better.than.a.year.ago.”
•LinebackerJunior.BenBaratto. (Crosby-Ironton,.Minn.).and.sophomore.ZachChrist.(Buffalo,.Minn.).will.pro-vide.the.lynchpins.of.the.BSU.linebacking.corps.for. 2005..

BSU’s. single-season. record. by. con-necting.on.53.successful.PAT.kicks.on.just.55.at-tempts;.the.previous.record.was.40..He.also.set.a.school.single-season.record.for.points.scored.by.a.kicker.with.68.. “McDonald.did.a.nice.job.for.us.a.year.ago,”.Tesch. said.. “He. was. a. true. freshman,. though,.and.we.monitored. that..We.didn’t.want. to. rush.him.or.put.him. into.a.situation.where.we.asked.him to make a lot of long field goals.. “We. were. happy. with. the. way. our. offense.could.score,”.he.added..“We.were.in.a.position.to.decide.to.take.three.points.or.to.throw.a.touch-down.pass.”. On.all.but.six.occasions.in.2004,.BSU.elected.to.protect.McDonald.and.go.for.the.touchdown.. “His. leg. got. stronger. in. the. spring,”. Tesch.said..“At.the.beginning.of.the.year.we’ll.expand.his. range. and. he’ll. have. the. opportunity. to. get.some.points.for.us.”. McDonald.did.double.duty.last.year,.splitting.time. with. wideout. Adam. Noble. as. the. team’s.punter..He’s.expected. to.again.provide. the.ma-jority.of.the.punting.work.this.year.. “We. started. him. slowly. punting,. getting. him.in.towards.the.end.of.the.year,”.Tesch.said..“It’s.a.great.luxury.if.you.have.one.player.who.can.do.both.[punt.and.kick].”. Zach.Stafford.and.linebacker.TonyWanie.(Tom-ahawk,.Wis.).should.compete.for.BSU’s.long.snap-per.spot..Both.have.experience.at.the.position.. Still. up. in. the. air. are. the. punt. and. kick. re-turner.positions..Both.were.held.down.last.year.by.All-NSIC.return.man.Michael.Nordyke,.who.in.the.off-season.had.a. tryout.with. the.Minnesota.Vikings..Corey.Brewer,.Adell.Hawks,.Ozzey.Wil-liams.and.Anthony.Schreiber.will.all.be.in.the.mid.at.both.return.spots.. “We. feel. good. with. any. of. these. guys. be-ing.our.return.guys,”.Tesch.said..“We’re.excited.about.the.home-run.threat.those.guys.offer..Get-ting a lot of field position off of a return specialist could.end.up.being.a.big.part.of.our.game.plan.”
RIGHT: Michael McDonald (#14, far right) set BSU single-season records for successful PAT kicks (53) and points scored by a kicker (68) in 2004.
youth..But.under.the.masterful.guidance.of.10th-year. head. coach. Jeff Tesch,. the. Bemidji. State.football. program. has. undergone. a. remarkable.metamorphosis. and. gone. from. annual. doormat.to.title.contender.. Tesch. has. posted. a. 55-41. record. at. BSU.and.led.the.Beavers.to.a.school-record.streak.of.seven.consecutive.winning.seasons..During.that.historic. streak. he. has. posted. three. of. the. four.eight-win.seasons.for.a.program.approaching.its.80th.year.of.competition..He.is.the.only.coach.in.school.history.to.oversee.back-to-back.eight-win.seasons,.and.his.2000.team.set.a.school.record.with.nine.wins.. Tesch’s.success.at.BSU.has.been.remarkable..Upon being named BSU’s 15th field general in May 1996,.he.inherited.a.program.which.had.won.just.16.games.in.its.previous.eight.seasons,.suffering.losing.streaks.of.nine,.11.and.18.games.in.that.time... Today,.his.55.wins.represent.20.percent.of.the.program’s.all-time.victories..He.has.averaged.six.wins.a.season.at.a.program.which.in.70.years.prior.to.his.arrival.averaged.barely.three.victories.each.fall..In.fact,.Tesch’s.55.wins.in.nine.years.are.nearly.equal.to.the.number.of.games.BSU.won.in.the.20.years.prior.to.his.arrival.—.57.. Tesch. has. further. secured. his. place. in. BSU.history. by. becoming. the. program’s. all-time.leader.in.coaching.victories..He.posted.his.53rd.win.at.BSU.with.a.28-20.victory.over.Minnesota.Crookston.on.Oct..16,.2004,.moving.past.H..“Jolly”.Erickson,. who. won. 52. games. during. a. 17-year.career.at.BSU.from.1938-54.
Growing Pains
tesch’s.rebuilding.efforts.came.about.slowly,.as BSU finished 2-8 in each of his first two seasons..His.inaugural.1996.squad.closed.
out.an.eight-game.losing.skid.dating.back.to.the.1995 season before Tesch picked up his first win as.a.head.coach. in.a.19-15.win.against.Minn.-Morris..The.Beavers.would.later.close.1996.with.a.28-14.win.over.Southwest.State.in.the.Metrodome.Classic, BSU’s first win in the ‘Dome since downing Augsburg,. 23-7,. in. 1983.. That. victory. capped. a.2-8. campaign. and. helped. set. the. table. for. the.turnaround.to.come.. BSU.built.upon.the.momentum.of.its.season-ending.win. in.1996,.picking.up.a.25-21.win.over.St.. John’s. (Minn.). in. its. 1997. opener.. That. win,.highlighted.by.“The.Catch”.–.a.47-yard.Hail.Mary.from.Pat.O’Connor.to.Ty.Houglum.as.time.expired.–.gave.the.Beavers.back-to-back.wins.for.just.the.second.time.in.the.1990s.and.marked.the.team’s.first. win. in. a. season. opener. since. 1990.. BSU.would.later.pick.up.a.25-22.home.win.over.NSIC.rival Northern State before dropping its final two contests to finish the 1997 season at 2-8.
BSU Turns the Corner
tesch’s. resurrection. of. the. BSU. program.began.in.earnest.in.1998,.as.he.led.it.to.a.6-4 overall record and a third-place finish in
. Despite. a. slow. start,. victories. have. come.quickly. He won his first 30 games at BSU in 57 career. starts,. reaching. the. plateau. two. games.faster.than.Chet.Anderson.(59),.and.he.won.his.40th.game.in.Year.6..The.other.men.to.reach.that.plateau. at. BSU. did. so. in. careers. of. 10. and. 17.years.. And. when. Tesch. became. BSU’s. all-time.winningest. head. coach. in. 2004,. his. ninth. year.at.the.helm,.he.reached.the.53-win.plateau.eight.

With the win, BSU got off to its fifth 2-0 start in.its.last.six.seasons.of.play.
BSU.surrendered. its.most.points.since.2002,.but. set. a. school. record. for. total. yards. and.extended.its.streak.of.consecutive.games.with.40 or more points scored to five in a thrilling shootout.at.Chadron.(Neb.).State.. Junior. Nathan Sannes. had. one. of. the.biggest. days. in. the. history. of. the. Northern.Sun. Intercollegiate. Conference,. completing. a.school-record.34.of.56.passes,.obliterating.the.school.record.with.500.passing.yards.and.tying.the school record with five touchdown passes.. Sannes.also.obliterated. the. school. record.for. total. offense.. He. added. 27. yards. and. a.touchdown.on.13.rushes,.giving.him.527.total.yards and five touchdowns accounted for.. Wideouts. Michael. Nordyke. and.

Woodhead.scored.three.touchdowns.of.greater.than.60.yards,.and.had.four.TDs.by.halftime.
Bemidji. State’s. offense. continued. its. torrid.pace,.and.its.defense.held.a.potent.Wisconsin-River.Falls.rushing.attack.well.in.check.as.the.Beavers.cruised.to.a.58-14.victory.. The. Falcons. managed. just. 10. yards. of.offense on 10 snaps in the first quarter as BSU’s. defense. had. the. answer. for. the. River.Falls.triple-option.running.attack.. The.Beavers.put.the.game.away.with.a.31-point.second.quarter..Capping.the.burst.were.three. unanswered. touchdowns. to. close. the.quarter:.MichaelNordyke.hauled.in.a.career-long. 64-yard. touchdown. bomb. from.

Combined. with. Olson’s. three.rushing. touchdowns,. it. is. thought. to. be. the.first game in BSU history in which two players scored.three.or.more.rushing.touchdowns... Freshman. Michael McDonald. kicked.his first career field goal, a 24-yarder, to put BSU.ahead.10-0,.and.would.eventually.tie.the.school. single-game. record. by. connecting. on.seven.PAT.kicks.
In a battle of the final two unbeaten teams in. Northern. Sun. Intercollegiate. Conference.play,. . Bemidji. State. could. not. overcome. a.huge. afternoon. from. Winona. State. senior.quarterback.Brian.Wrobel,.who.led.the.Warriors.to.a.41-28.victory.with.a.career.performance.. Wrobel. completed. 17. of. 28. passes. for.362.yards.and.two.touchdowns,.both.of.more.than. 70. yards,. and. added. 65. yards. and. a.touchdown.on. the.ground.on.eight.carries. to.lead.the.Warriors.to.a.crucial.NSIC.victory..

He. became. the.first player to score twice on plays of 70 or more. yards. in. the. same. game. against. BSU.since.Oct..16,.2000.. BSU.was.held.to.a.season-low.276.yards.of.total.offense,.failed.to.have.a.100-yard.rusher.for the first time this season and saw a nine-game.streak.of.scoring.at.least.30.points.come.to.an.end... Sannes.was. limited.to.104.yards.on.10.of.28.passing.with.one.interception..He.became.the first BSU passer since Geoff Martinson in.2001. to. throw.a. touchdown.pass. in.seven.consecutive. games.. The. Beavers. have.managed. just. 204. yards. passing. in. their. last.two.games.combined.

Eagles. 28-20. this. afternoon.. But.the.victory.did.not.come.easy,.as.the.Golden.Eagles.fought.back.from.a.28-7.fourth-quarter.defecit by scoring the game’s final 13 points, and held the ball in the game’s final minute before.turning.it.over.on.downs.to.end.the.rally,.and.the.contest,.with.39.seconds.to.play.. The. Golden. Eagles. rode. a. game.performance. from. running. back. Frederick.Rollins,.who.carried.36.times.for.136.yards.and.a.touchdown.on.the.afternoon..Rollins.also.had.a 53-yard touchdown run nullified by an Eagle penalty. Rollins scored on a five-yard run to get the. visitors. on. the. board. in. the. third. quarter,.capping a five-play, 70-yard drive after a BSU lost.fumble.. The. Beavers. allowed. the. Golden. Eagles.to. stay. in. the. game. with. turnovers.. Rollins’.touchdown run was the first of two Golden Eagle.touchdowns.to.come.on.drives.following.BSU.fumbles.. BSU’s.28.points.were.its.fewest.in.a.home.game.against.Minn.-Crookston.since.Nov..14,.1930.(W,.25-0).

He. went. over. 100.yards.for.the.second.time.in.his.career. After a 52-yard drive which took just five plays. to.open. the.game,.BSU.was.unable. to.get. its.high-powered.offense.untracked..After.the first drive, it was able to assemble just two.drives.of.30.or.more.yards.the.rest.of.the.contest..Six.Beaver.drives.went.for.fewer.than.20.yards,.including.a.three-and-out.which.lost.10.yards.to.open.the.third.quarter.. SMSU. quarterback. Adrian. Headen.completed.just.6.of.20.passes.for.90.yards.and.was.sacked.eight.times.for.a.loss.of.32.yards..The.eight. sacks.were.BSU’s.most. in. a.game.since.also.recording.eight.at.Minnesota-Morris.on.Oct..30,.1999..

The School ColorsIn.Feb.,.1920,.an.assembly.hour.was.set.aside.for.the.selection.of.school.colors..After.the.balloting.on. colors. had. resulted. in. a. deadlock,. Cyrillus.Freeman,.a.student.from.Minneapolis,.rose.and.commanded.attention... “As.we.sat.here.discussing.this.question,”.she.said,.“I.happened.to.glance.out.the.window..The.sight. that.met.my.eyes.was. fresh,.green.pines.silhouetted.against.pure.white.snow..What.could.be.more.appropriate.than.green.and.white?”.This.idea.was.accepted.unanimously.
The Naming of the BeaversAs.President.Deputy. reviewed. football.practice.one.evening.in.May,.1932,.he.called.the.team.into.a.huddle.and.raising.his.hands.above.their.heads.declared,.“I.christen.this.team.the.Beavers.”.. The.name.“Beavers”.is.symbolic.of.the.silent,.hard-working. teams. representing.Bemidji.State.University.
HomecomingThe first homecoming at Bemidji Teachers College was.held.Oct..5,.1928..Until.1931.Homecoming.was.a.biennial. affair.. In. that. year. the.demands.of. the.alumni,.eager. for. this.season.of.reunion,.changed. it. to. an. annual. celebration. with. all.the. traditional. dinners,. teas,. parades,. dances,.bonfires and football games.. Recently,.BSU.has.been.celebrating.victories.in. its. annual. Homecoming. football. game. with.a. post-game. celebration. in. the. waters. of. Lake.Bemidji.which.borders.Chet.Anderson.Stadium.on.the.east.
The BSU logoDuring. the. fall.semester.of.1998,.campus-wide.discussions. were. held. on. the. need. for. new.marks.to.represent.the.University.as.well.as.BSU.athletics..The.University.marks.at. the. time.had.been. in.place. since.1974,.with.minor. revisions.in 1987, while no official athletic mascot, logo or image.had.been.adopted.for.University.use.. A. committee. was. formed. and. for. the. next.academic. year. an. audit. and. review. were.conducted. on. the. school. logo. and. athletics.imagery. to. determine. what. images. were. being.used.to.represent.the.institution... During. the. spring. and. summer. of. 1999,.requests. for.proposals. (RFP).were.sought. from.outside firms to assist the university in this historic undertaking.. The.BSU.coaching.staffs.took.great.interest.in.the.efforts.to.produce.the.new.Beaver.logo..They.desired.an.image.that.would.represent.pride.and.confidence while being gender-neutral and not appearing.cartoonish.in.nature. The public relations firm of Russell & Herder of Brainerd.was.awarded.the.RFP.for.the.logo.project.during.the.summer.of.2000..For.the.remainder.of.2000.and.through.early.2001,.Russell.&.Herder.helped. oversee. focus. groups. and. surveys.regarding.the.logo.change... In.Dec..2000,.preliminary.logo.designs.were.presented.to.the.committee,.and.revisions.were.made.until.the.time.the.new.marks.were.formally.adopted and officially unveiled March 28, 2001 at a.ceremony.on.campus.
Bemidji. State. holds. a. proud. distinction. of.being.the.only.Minnesota.Teachers.College.to.continue. its. football. program. through. World.War. II,. when. other. teams. across. the. state.temporarily. suspended. their. teams. due. to. a.lack of available men on campus to fill out their rosters..“Jolly”.Erickson,.BSU’s.head.coach.at.the.time,.simply.felt.it.foolish.not.to.continue..
BSU finished 4-0 with its depleted 1944 squad, one.of.just.15.undefeated.teams.in.the.nation.that.year..It.remains.the.only.unbeaten,.untied.team.in.BSU.history.
