FISHER, BAAR RECEIVE GLVC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS:

McKen-dree collected two of the three Great Lakes Valley Conference Football Player of the Week awards up for grabs this past week. For the third time this season, senior quarterback Isaac Fisher has been selected as the GLVC Offensive Player of the Week. Fisher threw for 326 yards and a pair of touchdowns while

running for two more scores in the Bearcats’ 38-13 Homecoming win over Southwest Baptist University. Junior defensive end Lucky Baar garnered GLVC Defensive Player of the Week honors as well. Baar had nine tackles with six solos -- including a season-high 4 1/2 quarterback sacks -- in the win. Baar was a three-time GLVC Player of the Week honoree in 2014, when he was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year.

TO THE NINES: Dating back to the midway point of the 2014 season, McKen-dree has won its last nine regular-season contests. That matches the Bearcats’ longest win streak since the revival of the football program in 1996. McKendree

won its first nine games in 2002 and closed the 2009 season with nine straight

triumphs.

MORE ABOUT THE STREAK: McKendree enters today’s contest with the longest active win streak among all NCAA Division II programs at nine consecu-tive victories.

BEARCATS vs. THE HOOSIER STATE: McKendree has a record of 10-14 all-time against teams from the state of Indiana. Excluding the 2006 season, the Bearcats have played an Indiana school each year since the program was revived for the 1996 campaign.

20 SEASONS OF FOOTBALL: 2015 marks the 20th season of football at McKendree since the program was revived in 1996.

200 AND COUNTING: The Sept. 12 contest at West Liberty marked the 200th football game played by McKendree since bringing back its football program in 1996.

DOUBLING UP: McKendree has scored at least 10 points in a game in 172 of its last 184 outings.

21 AND OVER: McKendree sports a 114-22 record (.838) when scoring at least 21 points in a game. The Bearcats are 90-18 (.833) in their last 108 contests when reaching the 21-point mark.

PILING ON THE POINTS (AND YARDS): Over the Bearcats’ current nine-game win streak, McKendree has averaged 40.1 points per nine-game, along with 509.6 yards of total offense per outing. The Bearcats have gained at least 500 yards in total offense in four of those contests, while McKendree has reached the 50-point mark three times over that same span.

FISHER FACTS: The 326 yards through the air by Isaac Fisher versus South -west Baptist marked his seventh career 300-yard passing game, and fourth in a row (he had 353 yards at West Liberty, 369 versus Northwood and 331 at

William Jewell). Also, Fisher continued to move his way up the program’s career rushing list. Fisher now has 1,224 rushing yards with the Bearcats, which is

good for 15th on the all-time list. Jason Jackson sits in 14th place in the team’s career rushing chart with 1,241 yards, while Jason Yelton is 13th all-time with 1,255 yards.

FISHER FACT OF THE WEEK: Isaac Fisher has thrown touchdown passes to

senior wide receiver Cameron James in each of the Bearcats’ last six games, a streak that dates back to the Lincoln University game last November.

JAMES CONTINUES TO IMPRESS: Cameron James matched a career-high with his nine catches against Southwest Baptist. James had 91 receiving yards in the contest to give him 1,344 yards for his career. That is just six yards behind Dewayne Gatti for the Bearcats’ all-time lead in the category.

McKENDREE RECEIVERS CATCHING ON: Entering today’s game against Indianapolis. four current members of the Bearcats’ receiving corps are in the team’s all-time top 10 for receptions: Cameron James (1st with 126), senior Pat Doty (5th with 67), junior Tyler Brewer (tied for 8th with 42) and junior Sean Dowling (tied for 10th with 40).

A.J. IS OK: With 10 more tackles against Southwest Baptist, junior linebacker A.J. Wentland continues to move up the top 10 in career tackles at McKend-ree. Wentland enters today’s contest with 199 stops, which is currently tied for seventh on the Bearcats’ career list with Darius Green. Jason Rejfek is up next in sixth place at 216 tackles. Brandon Nigro holds the top spot with 295 stops during his four-year career with the Bearcats.

SIGN OF THINGS TO COME?: The triumph at West Liberty marked the first

win for McKendree in a road opener since the 2009 season. Since the revival of the football program in 1996, the Bearcats have won their road opener eight different times. In each of those seasons, McKendree closed the year with a winning record. In fact, the Bearcats averaged better than eight wins per season in those instances.

This Date in Bearcat Football History

Oct. 10, 2009

McKendree rallied from a pair of fourth-quarter deficits to post a 24-20 victory over the University of St. Francis (Ill.) at Leemon Field. The win extended the Bearcats’ winning streak over the Fighting Saints to 11 games. The win

-ning score came with 3:51 to play when Austin Fisher connected with Myron Hicks on a 21-yard TD pass. Fisher opened the drive with a 31-yard strike to Hicks over the middle to the St. Francis 41-yard line. Two plays later, Fisher

scrambled for a 20-yard gain and followed up with his game-winning touchdown

pass to Hicks. Fisher was 12-of-19 in the contest for 196 yards, boosting McK -endree’s season total to 975 passing yards. That established a new Bearcats’ record for passing yards in a season.

Oct. 10, 1998

McKendree broke open a close game with Trinity International University with a

31-point second half on its way to a 41-6 victory at Leemon Field. Jason Jack -son led the rushing attack for the Bearcats with 109 yards, including a 56-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter. Jarrod Karnes added 76 yards on 13 attempts in the effort. McKendree scored twice thanks to fumble returns -- a 25-yarder by Joe Bruss midway through the third quarter and a two-yard scamper by Ryan

Jimison with just over five minutes remaining. As a team, the Bearcats had five

fumble recoveries against the Trojans.

Proud Members of NCAA Division II

Mike Babcock was named as the 17th football coach in the history of the Bearcats’ program back in Decem-ber 2013. The 2015 season will mark Babcock’s third on the sidelines for the Bearcats.

The 2014 campaign turned into a memorable one on many fronts for Babcock and the Bearcat football pro-gram. McKendree closed the year as one of the hottest teams in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, winning its

final five games to post a 5-6 overall

record. The late-season run also gave the Bearcats a 5-3 mark in GLVC play,

which enabled the squad to finish in a

tie for second in the league standings. That is McKendree’s highest GLVC

finish in the conference’s brief football

history.

There were several record-breaking performances along the way enjoyed by some of McKendree’s veteran players. Sophomore defensive lineman Lucky Baar rewrote the Bearcats’ record book by leading NCAA Division II with 26 1/2 tackles for loss and 18 quarterback sacks. Both statistics also set new program and league records as Baar earned GLVC Defensive Player of the Year honors

along with first-team Little All-America accolades from the Associated Press. Baar became the first Bearcat player to earn either honor.

Baar led a group of 10 McKendree players who received All-GLVC awards which included sophomore linebacker A.J. Wentland and junior offensive

line-man Derrik Starrett as first-team honorees. In his first year as a starter at middle

linebacker, Wentland had a school-record 132 tackles and had at least 10 tackles in a game 10 times during the Bearcats’ 11-game schedule.

On the offensive side of the ball, Babcock’s Bearcats were just as prolific in

2014. As a team, McKendree established new program marks in nearly every

passing category. Led by junior Isaac Fisher, the Bearcats’ quarterbacks threw

for 2,749 yards while completing nearly 62 percent of their pass attempts. The season passing average of 249.9 yards per game also set a new team

record. McKendree finished in the top third of the GLVC in total offense (428.4

YPG), passing offense (249.9 YPG and scoring offense (30.1 PPG). During the

Bearcats’ season-ending five-game win streak, the offensive unit produced 41

points per contest while gaining better than 512 yards per outing.

Fisher became one of the top offensive threats in the GLVC in 2014. In addi -tion to throwing for a career-high 2,722 yards and tying a personal best with 19

touchdown passes, Fisher became the first McKendree quarterback to lead the

team in rushing for a season. He gained 764 yards on the ground and led the

Bearcats with nine rushing TDs. Under Babcock’s tutelage, Fisher was second

in the GLVC in both total offense (316.9 YPG) and passing (247.5 YPG).

In his first season at McKendree, Babcock led the Bearcats to four victories,

including a thrilling 32-28 come-from-behind win in the 2013 season opener --

which also marked Babcock’s head coaching debut -- at Leemon Field against Tiffin University. A total of 11 McKendree players earned All-Conference honors

from the Great Lakes Valley Conference during Babcock’s rookie season as

a head coach, including first-team selections in senior Richie Rebmann and

sophomore Brett Pearman.

Babcock came to McKendree after spending five years as an assistant coach

at Colorado State University-Pueblo, one of the top NCAA Division II programs in the country. In his last four years at CSU-Pueblo, Babcock served as the ThunderWolves’ quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. Under his leadership, CSU-Pueblo registered back-to-back undefeated regular seasons and claimed Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) championships.

The ThunderWolves were the top-ranked team in the final American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) regular-season poll in both 2011 and 2012.

With Babcock at the offensive controls, CSU-Pueblo set 13 team and 15 individual offensive records as the ThunderWolves advanced to the national

quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2012. CSU-Pueblo set new

team season standards in every major passing category, including attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns and completion percentage. The Thunder-Wolves also established new records for total offensive yards, plays and points scored this year.

During the 2012 season, CSU-Pueblo averaged 35.8 points and 442.6 yards

of total offense per game this season. The ThunderWolves were ranked first in the RMAC and 11th in NCAA Division II in passing efficiency through games

of Dec. 1. In addition, CSU-Pueblo ranked among the top 30 in the nation in scoring offense.

Babcock arrived at CSU-Pueblo after spending the 2007 season as the tight ends coach and director of football operations at the University of San Diego, where he helped the Toreros to a Pioneer Conference championship. Prior to that, Babcock served as the quality control intern for offense for two seasons at the University of Colorado. He served as an assistant in coaching the Buffaloes’ offensive line, tight end and special teams.

Babcock began his coaching career at his alma mater, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He was an undergraduate and graduate as-sistant with the Bruins from 2000-04. After spending the 2000-02 season coach-ing the UCLA linebackers, Babcock shifted to defensive line coach in 2003. He wrapped up his stay at UCLA by guiding the Bruins’ offensive line in 2004. During his stay at UCLA, Babcock helped coach the Bruins to four bowl ap-pearances, and also helped guide the top-ranked defensive unit in the Pac-10 in 2001.

As an undergraduate at UCLA, Babcock was a linebacker and played on the Bruins’ 1997 and 1998 Pac-10 championship squads, and played in both the Cotton Bowl (1998) and Rose Bowl (1999). UCLA put together a 20-game win streak during Babcock’s playing days. Babcock earned both of his degrees from UCLA – an undergraduate degree in 2002 along with his master’s degree in 2005.

Babcock and his wife Kimberly have two children: Tyler and Emily.
