About Bethany College
Bethany, a small college of national distinction, was founded March 2, 1840. For nearly 170 years, Bethany
College has been a highly contemporary institution based in the tradition of the liberal arts.
The College offers a wide array of studies, awarding Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees in more
than 25 fields of study, many with options for emphasis. Students also have the option of including one or more
optional minors as part of their programs.
The College’s program of liberal arts education prepares students for a lifetime of work and a life of significance.
Bethany places particular emphasis on leadership and incorporates pre-professional education in dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, physical therapy, public administration, theology and veterinary medicine.
Bethany’s 1,300-acre campus is located in the northern panhandle of West Virginia in the foothills of the Allegheny
Mountains. Pittsburgh, America’s Most Livable City, is a 50-minute drive from campus. Wheeling, W.Va.; Washington, Pa.; and Steubenville, Ohio are less than a half-hour away.
Founded by Alexander Campbell, who provided the land and funds for the first building and served as the first
president, Bethany has been a four-year private liberal arts college affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of
Christ), since its inception. This religious body, of which Campbell was one of the principal founders, continues to
support and encourage the College, but exercises no sectarian control. Students from virtually every religious community attend Bethany.
The approximately 830 Bethany students represent 27 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and six countries.

Bison Stadium Renovation
Over the summer, the home of Bethany football
underwent dramatic renovations. By the time the dirt
had settled, Bison Stadium had been transformed into
a first-class athletic facility.
The facility changes included placing a new artificial
turf on the playing field, a surface called FieldTurf.
This will allow Bethany to practice and play at Bison
Stadium throughout the season, regardless of weather
conditions. In addition, lights were installed, which
will enable the Bison to conduct full practices outside
late in the season when daylight begins to dwindle and
allow Bethany to possibly host home night games in
the future.
Football isn’t the only program which will benefit
from the facility upgrade. With the new surface and
lights, the men’s and women’s soccer teams will be
able to play at Bison Stadium as well. They will play
the first home night games at Bethany at this year’s
Homecoming when they host Geneva in a doubleheader at 6 p.m. (women’s) and 8 p.m. on Friday,
Oct. 3.
Bethany’s track and field programs also received a
boost, as the football field is surrounded by a new
rubberized track surface. Other improvements included a steeplechase pit and jump, and areas for pole
vault, high jump, long/triple jump and throwing
events.
The renovations stretched over to the softball
diamond too. Top soil removed from the Bison
Stadium playing field was spread on a recently regraded field, which will include a new backstop and
fencing.
The decision to renovate the athletic facilities was
not just done with varsity athletics in mind, according
to Bethany President Dr. Scott D. Miller.
“The entire campus and community will benefit
from these improvements,” Dr. Miller noted. “Not
only will our intercollegiate program benefit, but the
improved track will benefit the community walkers
and all facilities will benefit our recreation/intramural
programs as well.”

Presidents’ Athletic Conference
Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference
continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics
and the pursuit of academic excellence.
Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany,
Chatham, Geneva, Grove City, Saint Vincent, Thiel,
Thomas More, Washington & Jefferson, Waynesburg and
Westminster - the PAC remains a unique organization in
this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics. With
academics at the center of each member’s philosophy, the
PAC is built on the principle that an athletic program is a
part of college life, but not an entity in itself.
The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the
addition of Thomas More,
formerly an NCAA
Division III independent.
Saint Vincent, a former
NAIA member, joined the
conference as it began
provisional membership
status in NCAA Division
III in 2006-07. Another
former NAIA member,
Geneva, became the
conference’s ninth
member and began league
play as it started NCAA
Division III provisional
membership in 2007-08.
Chatham became the
league’s 10th member,
also in 2007-08.
The PAC annually
crowns champions in 19
sports. In 2007-08, the
conference had 35 teams represent the conference in
postseason play, including 19 in NCAA Championship
events. PAC championship teams receive automatic
qualification (AQ) status for most NCAA Division III
national championship events.
All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head
coaches select all-league squads for all team sports, while
in individual sports such as cross country and tennis, AllPAC accolades are based upon performances at the
conference championships.
The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s AllSports Trophies to the schools which perform best
across the board in PAC
competition. The
Washington & Jefferson
men and Westminster
women captured the
2007-08 trophies.
True to its mission, the
PAC has produced
numerous Academic AllAmericans and NCAA
Postgraduate Scholarship
winners. Last year, the
league named a record
660 student-athletes to
the PAC Academic
Honor Roll, which
recognizes all participating athletes who attain a
term grade-point average
of 3.60 or above.
Washington & Jefferson Men, Westminster Women Capture 2007-08 PAC All-Sports Trophies
The Washington & Jefferson College men and Westminster College women captured the 2007-08 Presidents’ Athletic
Conference (PAC) All-Sports Trophies. The all-sports trophies are awarded annually to the schools which perform the
best across the board in league competition. First-place finishes are worth eight points (seven for men), second place is
worth seven points (six for men) ... eighth place is worth one point. Following are the final 2007-08 PAC Men’s &

Administration
Dr. Scott D. Miller, 48, became the 19th president of Bethany College on January 1,
2008. Well known nationally for his contributions to higher education, he was one of
17 presidents nationwide featured in a Kauffman Foundation-funded book entitled
The Entrepreneurial College President (American Council on Education/Praeger
Series on Higher Education, 2004, pages 132-133). Five years ago, he was featured
in the book The Small College Guide to Financial Health (National Association of
College & University Business Officers, 2002, pages 126, 192-194).
Prior to coming to Bethany Dr. Miller served as the 15th President of Wesley
College (1997-2007) in Dover, Delaware. Dr. Miller’s tenure as Wesley president
was remarkably successful. He built on the institution’s rich heritage as Delaware’s
oldest private college, inspiring record applications, a climbing enrollment, increased
Dr. Scott D. Miller alumni participation and giving, a greater minority presence, and ultimately, national
President
recognition for the institution. He led the college community in the creation of From
Here to 2010: A Plan for Wesley College, a widely endorsed $84 million blueprint
which charts the institutional course for the foreseeable future.
Dr. Miller was the 16th president of Lincoln Memorial University (1991-97) in Harrogate, Tennessee. He
served as Executive Vice President (1988-91) and Vice President for Development (1984-88) before being
named president. He was also an interim public information officer at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and
Director of University Relations and Alumni Affairs at the University of Rio Grande (OH). He is also a former
newspaper journalist for The Edinboro (PA) Independent, The Buckhannon (WV) Record and The Weston
(WV) Independent.
Dr. Miller earned his B.A. from West Virginia Wesleyan College, M. A. from the University of Dayton, Ed.S.
from Vanderbilt University, and Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from The Union Institute & University.
He has also completed post-graduate studies at Ohio University and Harvard University. He is married to the
former Annie Cook (a registered nurse), and they have two daughters, Katie, 23, and Ashlee, 20.

Head Coach Tim Weaver
Tim Weaver is entering his third season as
Bethany’s head football coach and in June, 2008,
took on the additional responsibility as the school’s
Director of Athletics and Recreation.
In his first season on the Bison sideline in 2006,
Weaver guided the team to a 4-6 overall record, the
most wins since going 6-3 in 2001, and a 2-4 record
in the PAC, the first conference victories by the Bison
since 2002. Overall, seven school records were
broken, including four by wide receiver T.J. Parker,
and eight players earned All-PAC accolades.
Bethany continued to make strides in 2007, as they
Tim Weaver
went 4-6 overall and 2-4 in the PAC again. BC
Head Coach
started the season 2-0 for the first time since 2001
Davidson/1990
and posted victories over Westminster and Thomas
More later in the year. The record book continued to
take hits, as 13 marks were either broken or tied, and 10 players, the most in four
years, received All-PAC laurels following the campaign.
Weaver arrived at Bethany following a three-year stint at Columbia. His best
season came in 2004, when the Lions improved from 117th the previous year to
59th in I-AA in yards allowed per game. In the last two seasons at the helm of the
Columbia defense, seven players on that side of the ball earned All-Ivy League
recognition.
Prior to serving as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach for the
Lions, he was at Harvard for four seasons. Prior to his step up to the Ivy League,
Weaver was the defensive coordinator at West Virginia Wesleyan from 1996-99.
Weaver was a four-year starter at defensive end/linebacker for Davidson
College in North Carolina, where he graduated in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree
in sociology and anthropology. He began his coaching career at Western Connecticut State in the fall of ’90, where he was the defensive line coach and special
teams coordinator for two years. He then went to Hofstra University, serving as
the defensive line coach for four seasons before taking the job at West Virginia
Wesleyan.
When looking at his goals for the program, Weaver will always have short-term
milestones he wants to achieve, but he will never lose site of the one long-term
goal he brings to the Bethany campus.
“I only have one long-term goal,” said Weaver. “It’s
that every student-athlete who plays for Bethany will
graduate and win at least one conference championship
in their time here. That’s my idea of a competitive
program. Get everyone a degree and a ring. We said
that to every recruit we talked to at Harvard and that’s
the same approach I want to have at Bethany.”
Weaver and his wife, Kelly, reside in Bethany with
their two daughters Delaney (6) and Casey (2).

Bill Garvey is in his third season as the Bison offensive
coordinator. He also oversees the quarterbacks.
Bethany’s offense continued to operate at a record-setting
pace in 2007 under Garvey’s watch. Nine new offensive marks
were established, including Single-Season Total Offense (4,105),
Single-Game Total Offense (739 vs. Saint Vincent) and SingleGame Rushing Offense (482 vs. Saint Vincent). In his first
season under center, QB Milton Joyner set a new BC record
with 21 touchdowns passes as he earned Second Team AllPAC, one of six offensive players to garner all-league honors.

season and four of the Bison’s All-PAC selections came from
the defense.
Phillips’ experience includes 14 years as the defensive coordinator at West Liberty State, including the 2000 season in which
the Hilltoppers won the WVIAC championship. That year saw
West Liberty rank first in the WVIAC in total team and rushing
defense, as well as takeaways (35) and quarterback sacks
(37.5). The vaunted Hilltopper defense also ranked 10th in the
nation in rushing yards allowed.

During his tenure, West Liberty was ranked first in the
conference in total defense three times and ranked in the top

West Liberty State/1989 two in scoring defense on four separate occasions. Under his
tutelage, Hilltopper players earned First or Second Team allconference accolades 59 times, including three WVIAC
Defensive Players of the Year, and nine of those players would earn All-American honors.
Pior to coming to Bethany, Phillips served as the defensive coordinator at Wheeling Park
High School under head coach Mark Nardone. The Patriots went 12-8 during Phillips’ time,
including a 7-3 mark in 2006. The Park defense recorded three shutouts and held seven
teams to 10 or fewer points over those two seasons.
Phillips, who graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education from West Liberty State in 1989, resides in
Wheeling with his wife, Terry, and three sons: Zachary, Nathan and Brett.

history to go over 1,000 career receiving yards. During his freshman season, Murphy
helped B-W finish 10-1 and reach the second round of the NCAA playoffs.
Murphy graduated from Baldwin-Wallace in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in health
promotion and education and is pursuing a master’s degree in educational leadership at

2008 Season Preview
Although 17 starters are returning for the
Bethany College football team for the 2008
season, there is still quite a bit of change
affiliated with the Bison program, which is
entering its third year under the direction of
head coach Tim Weaver.
One of the changes affects Weaver, who
led Bethany to their second consecutive 4-6
season (2-4 in the PAC) last year. In addition
to being the head football coach, he is now
the director of athletics and recreation and
one of his main duties has been to oversee
the revitalization of Bison Stadium. Bethany’s
home field underwent extensive work over
the summer, which included the installation of
a new FieldTurf playing surface and lights.
The first game at the Bison’s refurbished home is Sept.
13 against Kentucky Christian University, a first-year
NAIA program, and the updated facility brings quite a
few perks to the entire program.
“Any kind of progress is exciting and a project like this
is the best kind,” said Weaver, whose teams have broken
or tied 20 school records in his tenure. “Our day-to-day
operations will be helped tremendously. We won’t have to
worry about the condition of the practice field, we can
stay out under the lights for practice late in the season
when daylight ends quicker and we can practice on the
same surface we’ll play most of our games on as well.
“And obviously it’s going to help in recruiting,” said
Weaver. “It’s a better looking facility, but it also shows
institutional commitment to the program .”
When Weaver took the reins to the program in December of 2006, he had a clear vision of where he wanted to
take the program and how long it would take to get there.
Coming into year three, Weaver says everything is going
to plan to this point.
“We are right on schedule as to where we wanted to be
and have hit all our progress landmarks,” said Weaver.
“We’ve grown from about 80 players in the program to
nearly 110 this fall, saw a significant increase in wins the
first year, then saw major statistical improvements during
the second year. The gap between us and the top teams
in the league was so considerable when we arrived, we
couldn’t be too discouraged when we lost. Now we feel
we’ve closed that gap and the next step is to beat those
teams.”

The one major change for the Bison
offense will come at quarterback. Milton
Joyner paced the BC offense to a
school-record 4,105 total yards last year,
as he threw for more than 2,000 yards
and 21 TDs, while rushing for five more
scores. The lone returner at the position
is sophomore Dan Pegg, who completed
5-of-6 aerials for 47 yards in the ’07
season finale. While the Bison coaches
like Pegg, he will have to fend off some
skilled freshmen for the starting job.
The new quarterback will hope to see
the running game show continued
improvement. After gaining just 71 yards
per game on the ground in Weaver’s first season, BC’s
ground production jumped to better than 185 yards a
game last year. Sophomore Marcus Santini (above) was
a big reason for the improvement, as he churned out 473
yards on just 78 carries (6.1 average) and scored five
touchdowns despite missing three games because of
injuries. The questions to be settled in camp include who
will be the primary back-up behind Santini at tailback and
who will rise up to grab the fullback position.
In addition to a solid ground game, the Bison offense
also features a talented receiving corps, possibly the
deepest in the PAC. Junior Matt Cruse (below) returns
after catching 52 passes for 763 yards and a schoolrecord tying nine TDs last year, which earned him
Second Team All-PAC. Senior Taylor McNeil matched
Cruse in receptions for 711 yards and five scores, while
also amassing more than
1,450 all-purpose yards.
Add in junior Matt Dahle,
who had 11 catches for
153 yards, sophomore
Randy Rankin, who pulled
in 15 passes for 147 yards,
sophomore Clint Wilson, as
well as junior TE Jorge
Laboy, and there will be no
shortage of targets for
whoever gets the call
under center for Bethany.
2008 Season Preview
Another key to the offense’s production
last year was the play up front. The Bison
return four out of five starters on the
offensive line, including First Team AllPAC guard Brian Liptock (right) and
Honorable Mention tackle Chad Sedlacek.
Junior Chris Bailey, a two-year starter at
center, and sophomore tackle Bob
Rovnanik, who started six contests, are
also back. What solidifies this position for
BC is the depth they have acquired
following two strong recruiting years.
The defensive side of the ball is where
Bethany must see improvement. Although
the Green and White held three teams to
14 or fewer points last year, the most since 2002, they still
ranked eighth in the league in scoring (31.4) and total
defense (390.6). The key
to bettering those numbers
starts up front, where
Weaver is looking to senior
Chris Boland (left), who
had a team-high three
sacks, and sophomore Brad
Ragghianti, who made 31
stops as a freshman, to
pace the way.
The big area of change
on the defense is at linebacker, where Bethany
graduated all three starters
from a year ago. While
there may be a shortage of
experience, there won’t be a shortage of competition to
fill those spots. The competition is so open, Weaver didn’t
single out a favorite for any of the positions.
The defensive backfield will be the strong point of the
unit, with three starters back and a fourth who saw
considerable time last year. Sophomore FS Nelson Mitzen
(right), the team’s leading returning tackler (65), was
Second Team All-PAC after also leading Bethany with
two interceptions. On the corners, senior Brandon Zeman
was Honorable Mention All-PAC with 35 tackles despite
missing the final four games because of an injury, while
junior Michael Salters is back for his third year as a
starter.
Bethany’s special teams will have
plenty of returners who can break a big
play at any time, including McNeil, who
set a school record for kick returns (34)
and yards (643) last year. Sophomore
transfer Jermaine Washington will also
get a chance to bring back kicks, while
the punt returning duties will be handled
by Dahle, who took a punt back for a
score last year, and Cruse, with Washington also possibly pitching in there.
The Bison punter will definitely be a
freshman, as Mike Elias graduated. The
kicker could be sophomore Nick Comer
(below right), who hit a pair of extra
points last year, but he’ll be pushed by three freshmen in
camp.
In order for the Bison to continue to hit the progress
landmarks that Weaver has set, their main objective is to
get better defensively, while giving their quarterback a
chance to be successful on offense and making plays on
special teams.
“If we want to continue to make strides as a program,
we have to improve defensively,” said Weaver. “This is
the year for us to make significant improvements,
especially against the run. Offensively, whoever the
quarterback is, we have to get him ready to play and put
him in situations where he can succeed. And we have to
look to make plays on special teams, whether it is returns
or fakes to get any advantage we can.”

Game 1
Bethany at Hiram
Sept. 8, 2007
HIRAM, Ohio - QB Milton Joyner threw for 225 yards
and two TDs, while rushing for a third score to lead the
Bison to a 24-7 victory at Hiram, BC’s second seasonopening win in three years.
Joyner opened the scoring with a 10-yard touchdown
strike to WR Brad Zink on the initial drive of the year. A 24yard field goal by Matt Blumer made it 10-0 at halftime.
The Bison put the game away with a pair of scores in the
final period, one coming on a 59-yard scoring toss from
Joyner to WR Matt Cruse and the other coming on a oneyard sneak by Joyner with seven minutes to play to cap the
scoring.
Bethany’s balanced offensive attack rolled up 447 yards,
including 225 through the air and 222 on the ground. RB
Nick Neratka rushed for a career-high 137 yards, while
Cruse led all receivers with six catches for a career-high
122 yards.
The Bison defense turned in a strong effort as well,
holding the Terriers to 258 total yards and getting three
sacks. LB Bill Wineberg led the defensive effort with 12
stops, including a sack, and earned PAC Defensive Player
of the Week honors.
BETHANY, W.Va. - Behind school-record totals in total
offense (739) and rushing yards (482), the Bison improved
to 2-0 with a resounding 66-7 victory over Saint Vincent in
BC’s home opener.
The scoring bonanza started with an 83-yard scoring
pass from Joyner to Cruse four minutes into the game and
Bethany would build a 49-0 halftime lead. Joyner threw for
two scores and ran for a pair of TDs, while Neratka (109
yards) and RB Marcus Santini (85) also rushed for two
touchdowns each. Cruse hauled in both scoring passes
(83, 8) and set a career-high in receiving yards (137) for
the second consecutive week.
The Bison defense was steller again, limiting the Bearcats
to 117 yards, the lowest total allowed by BC since 2001.
They also forced three turnovers and had four sacks. DB
Brandon Zeman spearheaded the unit with four tackles, a
sack and an interception.
In addition to the records, QB/K Matt Blumer earned
PAC Special Teams Player of the Week after hitting all nine
extra-points, kicking a 31-yard field goal and adding a
seven-yard TD run.

Game 4
Bethany at Thiel
Sept. 29, 2007
BEAVER FALLS, Pa. - Bethany fell for the first time in
2007 with a 28-13 setback at Geneva, who was in their
first season of reclassifying from NAIA to NCAA Division
III.
Geneva scored first for a 7-0 lead, but the Bison moved
within a point on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Joyner
to WR Taylor McNeil, although the extra point was
blocked. The Golden Tornadoes answered back with two
TDs before halftime to take a 21-6 advantage into intermission.
Midway through the third, BC reached the end zone
when an 11-play, 90-yard drive culminated in an eight-yard
scoring connection from Joyner to Cruse to make it 21-13.
Bethany had two possessions with a chance to tie, but a
Geneva interception set up the clinching touchdown with
less then two minutes to play.
Joyner totaled 217 yards through the air, his third straight
game with 200+ passing yards. Cruse was the top target
with six catches for 88 yards and the score.
Zeman was the top tackler on defense with 12 stops in
the loss, while DB Dante Fuscardo amassed nine hits,
including a sack.
GREENVILLE, Pa. - Thiel compiled 425 rushing yards
and scored 17 points off Bethany turnovers to score a 3713 victory over the Bison in Greenville.
The Tomcats grabbed the lead by scoring late in the first
quarter, but BC answered on their next drive when FB John
Rhodes bolted 15 yards for a touchdown to make it a 7-6
Thiel lead. The hosts came right back with a long scoring
run and a field goal just before the halftime gun to take a
17-6 halftime lead.
Thiel’s lead expanded to 24-6 early in the third quarter,
but the Bison defense set up their next score. DB R.J.
Faldowski returned a fumble 26 yards and the next play
saw McNeil take an end-around 49 yards for a touchdown
to bring the Green and White back within 11 at 24-13.
That was as close as Bethany would get, a the Tomcats
put the game away with 13 late points, including a touchdown on a fumble return.
The Bison ground game accounted for 192 of the team’s
218 total yards, including 78 from Santini. LB Chance
Kildow was the defensive leader with 12 tackles and a
break-up.

2007 In Review
Game 5
Bethany at Grove City
Oct. 6, 2007
Game 6
Waynesburg at Bethany
Oct. 13, 2007
GROVE CITY, Pa. - Bethany and Grove City were tied at
15 late in the third quarter, but the Wolverines tallied 21
unanswered points to claim a 36-15 triumph over the
Bison.
GCC pulled out to a 12-0 lead, but a three-yard scoring
run by Santini late in the second quarter made it a 12-7
Wolverine lead at halftime. A Grove City field goal made it
15-7 early in the third, but the Bison tied the game when
Joyner fired a 49-yard scoring pass to Cruse and Santini
ran in for the two-point conversion.
The rest of the game belonged to the hosts, as they
answered right back with a touchdown to move in front
21-15. Then an interception and muffed punt led to the
final two GCC scores and the 36-15 final.
Bethany finished the game with more first downs (2420) and total yards (445-396), but scored just once in six
red zone opportunities. Santini was the main Bison highlight, carrying 21 times for 151 yards and a TD. Joyner
threw for 193 yards, with Cruse bringing down five passes
for 95 yards.
On the defensive front, DB Nelson Mitzen totaled 12
tackles for the Green and White.
BETHANY, W.Va.. - Bethany’s Homecoming festivities
were overshadowed by a Waynesburg defense which
allowed just 113 total yards in a 45-7 Yellow Jacket victory.
Waynesburg RB Robert Heller paced the visitors to a 210 halftime lead by rushing for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the first 30 minutes. The Yellow Jackets tacked
on the first 17 points of the second half before the Bison
notched their only points when Joyner lofted a 31-yard
scoring aerial to Cruse late in the third quarter.
Bethany’s offense was limited to only 24 yards on the
ground and 89 through the air. McNeil led all receivers with
six receptions in the contest. Posting a team-high in tackles
was Mitzen, who made 10 stops and forced a fumble.

Game 8
Thomas More at Bethany
Oct. 27, 2007
BETHANY. W.Va. - Bethany (3-4) scored 20 fourth
quarter points to break a 21-21 tie and post an impressive
41-21 victory over Westminster (3-4), which snapped a
four-game losing streak.
The teams matched each other with touchdowns in each
of the first three quarters. Joyner had a hand in all three
early scores by throwing for two and rushing for another,
then broke the tie with a three-yard TD run early in the
fourth quarter for a 27-21 BC advantage.
The Bethany defense set up the clinching scores, as a
fumble recovery was followed on the next play by a 53yard scoring jaunt by Santini. The freshman back also
followed an interception by breaking off a 30-yard run to
paydirt to cap the Bison’s win.
Joyner went on to earn PAC Offensive Player of the
Week after completing 26 passes for 321 yards and two
scores, while adding in two rushing TDs. On the ground,
Santini totaled 122 yards and two touchdowns, while the
receivers were led by Cruse (12 rec., 133 yds.) and
McNeil (8 rec., 140 yds., 1 TD).
LB Kellen Lieb made 12 tackles to lead the defense, while
Mitzen finished with nine
stops and an interception.
Quickie Statistics (Final)
BETHANY, W.Va. - Joyner threw three touchdown
passes, as the Bison made a 28-7 halftime lead stand up in
a 35-14 win over Thomas More.
Bethany scored twice in the opening quarter, with
Rhodes bulling in from a yard out for the first touchdown.
The second TD came after Lieb picked off a pass and five
plays later, Joyner found McNeil in the end zone for a fiveyard scoring pass and a 14-0 lead.
In the second quarter, WR Matt Dahle became the first
Bison since 1980 to return a punt for a touchdown when
he went 62 yards to the end zone with a Saints kick.
Joyner connected with Cruse from 17 yards out for the
fourth score of the game late in the half.
Thomas More scored just before the break to make it 287, but the Bison put their final score on the board late in the
third quarter when Joyner hooked up with McNeil for a
50-yard touchdown strike.
Joyner completed the game with 239 yards through the
air and three touchdowns. McNeil grabbed five balls for 88
yards and a pair of TDs, while Cruse had five catches for
70 yards and one score. On defense, BC, who held the
Saints to 30 rushing yards, were led by Lieb and CB

2007 In Review
Game 10
Bethany at Wash. & Jeff.
Nov. 10, 2007
Game 9
Carnegie Mellon at Bethany
Nov. 3, 2007
BETHANY, W.Va. - Bethany’s two-game winning streak
was stopped, as the Bison fell behind 28-6 and could not
climb out of the hole in losing 42-19 to Carnegie Mellon.
After the Tartans opened the scoring, BC rallied to make
it 7-6 on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Joyner to Zink.
Carnegie Mellon answered with three straight TDs,
including an interception return. Bethany scored just before
the half when Joyner tossed an 11-yard touchdown pass to
Cruse for a 28-13 score at the break.
Carnegie Mellon secured the win with scores on their
first two drives of the second half. The Bison closed the
scoring on a one-yard TD reception by Cruse, which was
his ninth of the year to tie the single-season record set just
one year earlier by T.J. Parker.
Cruse was the top receiver for the game, grabbing 10 of
Joyner’s 19 completions for 81 yards and the two scores.
Joyner finished the day with 206 yards through the air and
three scores, while RB Nick Czapor led the ground game
with 73 rushing yards.
Kildow led all defensive players in the contest with 12
hits, while Mitzen and LB Michael Wells had eight each.
WASHINGTON, Pa. - Bethany went toe-to-toe with
undefeated W&J for nearly three quarters, but the Presidents scored 42 of the game’s final 49 points to record a
wild 77-39 victory over the Bison.
A total of seven BC records were either broken or
matched during the game, with Joyner and McNeil having
a hand in all of them. Joyner threw five touchdown passes
in the game to five different receivers, including Zink (2
yds.), TE Mike Elias (11), WR Eric Terrell (29), Neratka
(16) and McNeil (52). That tied the Bethany single-game
record and gave Joyner 21 touchdown tosses on the year
for a new single-season standard. The Bison QB also
accounted for 453 total yards to establish a new singlegame mark.
McNeil was the top target, pulling in 13 passes to tie the
single-game record for 221 yards, second-most in a game
by a Bison receiver. He also set records for most kickoff
returns (34) and kick return yards (643) in a year. The
game also saw a new Bethany record for most combined
points in a game by two
teams (116).
