Wonderful man and coach. Best wishes to him. Clarion is DII, 3500 students. Five hour drive to NYC.

Didn't UCD play against and lose to Clarion in I want to say 1997 ?

I think you are thinking of Chadron St. that was an occasional foe in D2 playoffs

Clarion, which is apparently now officially known as Pennsylvania Western University Clarion, is a member of the D-II Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. (The Golden Eagles have a decent D-I wrestling program which competes in the MAC.) Other members of the PSAC include California, Indiana and of course Slippery Rock. The one football game I recall the Ags playing against a PSAC team was the Bloomsburg playoff collapse in December of 2020. I forget a lot of things these days and would like to forget that game.

ding! Ding! Ding! Winner! We beat Clarion 35-28 in OT in 97! Looking at the history guide, G.P. Muhammad ran for 202 yards and scored 5 TD’s (record). Those were our weird independent days

Wrong year on the disaster game?

Oooppss!

Wrong year, wrong decade and almost the wrong century.

Dec. 2, 2000.

Thanks for the save.

Looks like Clarion needs some touchdowns...

Speckman will be helping new HC Raymond Monica.

Any word or idea of his replacement?

I was wondering whether they would open up the recruitment or promote from within? Cody, lol?

The official roster got updated a couple days ago and Kevin Burke is listed as the running backs coach. If you click on his full bio he's listed as offensive quality control, so it looks like we just did an internal promotion on short notice.

Looks like Cody and Hawk will need to work out the kinks on offense.

We have two new assistant coaches on offense this year, with impressive resumes, so I’m sure there will be no shortage of ideas.

Burke elevated to running backs coach:

Impressive athletic resume. Now we have three new coaches who have QB coach on their resume.

Burke won a national championship at Mount Union and then won the Gagliardi Trophy twice (D3 MVP) the next two years.

The guy was a player no doubt. Love the music too. I see a little TT and LL there as well. UG is just plain steady and great. I think we are going to be pretty good this year. QB still the big deal.

Speckman's new team hadn't won a game in two years. He put in his system late, and they're already won a big game, dropping 44 points on an opponent. Congratulations coach!
