He was named head coach on July 27, 1993. He started the program from scratch, including everything from hiring assistant coaches to purchasing equipment to recruiting student-athletes. His fingerprints are all over the program, and to prove that, he had the University’s first on-campus football stadium named in his honor. Joe Walton Stadium hosts its first game in 2005. “I’ve said this many times before, and I mean it when I say that this situation is one of the best things that has happened to me in my life,” Walton said. “It happened at the right time. Before this position became available, I felt I was too young to quit coaching, but I wasn’t anxious to get back into pro football. When this came along, it was the perfect fit. This situation was the perfect opportunity for me to continue to do what I like to do, and I’ve loved every minute of it.” Under Walton’s tutelage, the Colonials have claimed five Northeast Conference titles and a pair of mid-major national crowns in the program’s first 11 years of existence. Robert Morris is one of just two programs to claim a pair of victories in the ECAC Classic, having won it in back-to-back seasons in 1996 and 1997. The success has done nothing to dampen Walton’s enthusiasm for coaching football at Robert Morris, and with him on the sideline RMU wins nearly 70 percent of the time. Walton is RMU’s only head coach ever, and he is 74-40-1 (all at Robert Morris) at the collegiate level (.648). Walton was the head coach of the New York Jets from 1983-89, when he went 53-57-1 (.482). That seven-year mark ranks second in the NFL club’s history in wins to the late Weeb Eubank. Also included among Walton’s 35 NFL seasons is two (1990-91) as offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers. A two-time All-America tight end at Pittsburgh, Walton played eight years in the NFL with the Washington Redskins and New York Giants.

Doria twice hooked up with Luke Palko for touchdowns, including a 29-yard pass that knotted the game at 21 in the third quarter. Senior running back Devin Wilson finished with 90 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 16 carries and also converted a two-point conversion for the Colonials.

The performance should come as no surprise, as Geyer has had tremendous success playing in familiar surroundings the past three years. Since the start of the 2003 campaign, Geyer has completed 207of his 369 passing attempts (56.1 percent) for 2,994 yards and 30 touchdowns at home. In 13 games over that span, Geyer has thrown for over 200 yards in 10 of them and owns nine games in which he has thrown at least two touchdowns. Moving on Up - Thanks to his 18-for-34, 190-yard passing performance against St. Francis (10/1), senior quarterback Drew Geyer moved his career total for passing yards to 5,468, which ranks third in both the RMU career record book and the Northeast Conference annals. Barring injury, Geyer should rank second in both record books by the end of the year. Former RMU signal caller Tim Levcik (19982001) owns the RMU and NEC career mark with 7,222 passing yards, while ranking second in the NEC annals is former CCSU quarterback Scott Dolch (5,728). Electricity - Senior flanker Tyjuan Massey has been an integral part of the Robert Morris receiving corps over the past three years, but he also proven to be a key clog as part of the special teams unit. That has never been more evident than the 2005 campaign. After returning three kickoffs a total of 132 yards @ Duquesne (9/3), Massey returned three punts 71 yards (23.7 yards per return) in a 49-13 win over Butler (9/17). Combined with his team-leading 11 catches for 248 yards, Massey enters Saturday’s game against Wagner ranked second in the Northeast Conference in all-purpose yards per game (139.8), which also ranks 21st in I-AA. With 2,609 career all-purpose yards, Massey is on pace to finish third all-time at RMU with 3,448 allpurpose yards. A look at the top all-purpose performers in Robert Morris history: Name 1.

He has led the Colonials in tackles over that span and has posted 100-tackle seasons in each of his first three years with the club, starting with 108 in 2002 en route to being named the Northeast Conference Defensive Rookie of the Year. On his career Noel owns 358 takedowns, a career record, and has etched his name as one of RMU’s all-time greats.

Massey has returned just two kickoffs in the last three games, and if there is one reason why opponents are doing their best to keep the ball away from Massey on special teams, look no further than against St. Francis (10/1). Massey returned the opening kickoff of the second half 60 yards to the Red Flash 37yard line, setting the Colonials up with great field position on a drive they eventually scored to take a 21-7 advantage. On the season Massey has returned five kickoffs for 218 yards, an average of 43.6 yards per kick that leads the Northeast Conference and ranks second in I-AA. On his career, Massey owns 824 kickoff return yards, just 125 yards shy of breaking former Colonial Dante Settles (2000-04) record of 948. Moving, Just Keep Moving - Senior halfback Devin Wilson registered the second 100yard rushing game of his career @ Rowan (9/24), finishing the afternoon with 103 yards on 16 carries. Wilson also produced a 48-yard touchdown scamper in the first quarter that gave the Colonials a quick 7-0 lead, which marks his longest run in an RMU uniform. Wilson leads Robert Morris in the early part of the 2005 campaign with 279 yards rushing on 63 carries, an average of 4.4 yards a rush, and is one of nine Colonials to post a 100-yard rushing game in school history. A list of the nine players and the num ber of 100-yard rushing games each posted: Name 1. Sam Dorsett 2. Tim Hall 3. Archie Wannamaker 4. Donald Dorsey 5. Ralph Clark Devin Wilson 6. Vince Magnone Develand Campbell Myles Davis Years 1999-2003 1994-95 1996-98 1998-99 1994-97 2002 2002 2002 1996-97 100-Yard Rushing Games 19 15 12 10 2 2 1 1 1 Three’s Company - To illustrate the depth the Colonials have at the skill positions and the ability to spread the ball around on offense, one needs to look no further than senior halfback Devin Wilson. Wilson finished with three touchdowns in RMU’s 49-13 win over Butler (9/17) in the team’s 2005 home opener, rushing for touchdowns of one and four yards and adding a 19-yard touchdown reception from senior quarterback Drew Geyer for his third score of the afternoon. Wilson became the first Colonial in almost seven years to score three touchdowns in a game, as the last time the feat was accomplished came in a 42-17 win over Central Connecticut State (9/26/98), when former running back Archie Wannamaker (1996-98) turned the trick, a span of 69 games. Protection - For just the second time in school history, Robert Morris returns all five starters on the offensive line from the previous season. Returning in 2005 are seniors Clifton Jean-Jacques (LG), Vince Romo (C), Greg Harteis (RG) and Matt Williams (RT) to go along with junior left tackle Gus Alonso. Supplying protection for senior quarterback Drew Geyer and opening holes for RMU’s stable of running backs will be the key for the group. The last time RMU had five starters return on the offensive line came in 1996, when interior starters Brian Cleary, Keith Stewart, Deodis Powell, Kevin Neill and Adam Thermann came back to help guide that squad to an overall record of 9-2, the club’s first Northeast Conference championship and an ECAC Bowl victory. The Magic Mark - Since the Colonials began play in 1994 there have been 52 games in which Robert Morris has scored 30 or more points. In those contests RMU boasts a record of 49-3, including a record of 26-3 in games in which the team scores between 30 and 39 points. In games in which the Colonials score 40 or more points, RMU is a perfect 23-0. 2005 Colonial Football Game Notes - (10/8/05) - Page 8 The Last Time a Colonial ...

Over that same span, Rickards and Massey have accounted for 38.2 percent (154-of-403) of RMU’s receptions. Also, Rickards and Massey’s 154 combined receptions is the most in school history by a Robert Morris receiving tandem, eclipsing the 121 former tight end Brent Hockenberry (2000-01) and former wideout Shawn Martin (1999-2002) posted over the course of the 2000-01 seasons. Rickards owns 100 career catches, a school record, for 1,314 yards, an average of 13.1 yards per catch, while Massey owns 84 career receptions for 1,468 yards, an average of 17.5 yards a catch. The pair, barring injury, should finish as the top two receivers in school history in both receptions and receiving yards, as Massey is just three catches from taking over second place in the career record book for receptions. Both Rickards and Massey are less than 200 receiving yards away from eclipsing former wide receiver Fred Parker (1996-98), who owns the career record for receiving yards with 1,495.
