2001 RESULTS: Western finished 8-3, won the inaugural Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship with a perfect 3-0 record, and ranked No.23 in the final national poll. It was the third straight league title and fifth in seven years for Western, which has had 11 straight non-losing seasons, a school record.
Saint Mary's had a 6-5 record, snapping a three-season string of losing seasons.
WESTERN REPORT: The Vikings are off to their first 2-0 start since 1996, when they reached the NAIA National Championship game. Western has been strong on both sides of the ball, but particularly on offense, where it has averaged 38.0 points and 457.5 yards, 339.0 passing, in the first two games. The passing figure ranks fifth nationally in Division II.
Leading the offense is junior quarterback Josh Shimek, who won the starting spot in fall camp and has completed 46-of-70 passes for 564 yards with six touchdowns and just two interceptions. He leads the GNAC in passing yardage (282.0 avg.) and total offense (287.0 avg.). A total of 10 players have caught passes, with senior wide receiver Greg Dykstra leading the way with 12 receptions for 176 yards and three touchdowns, and senior wide receiver Mike Westbrook making 11 grabs for 115 yards and a score.
On the ground, redshirt freshman Jake Carlyle has rushed for a team-high 111 yards and has the only rushing touchdown. The offensive line includes three returning starters, led by senior tackle Joaquin Paratore-McNabb, a second-team D2football.com all-West Region pick last year.
The Vikings lead the GNAC in scoring defense, giving up just 15.0 points a game. Sophomore strong safety Rob White was named D2football.com West Region Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Fort Lewis, in which he forced a school-record four fumbles, three of which were recovered by the Vikings, and also had an interception. Through two games, he has a team-high 20 tackles. Senior cornerback Martez Johnson has 13 tackles and a team-best three passes defensed. Junior end JeVarian Gamble, senior end Corey Gunnerson and sophomore tackle Lino Fenumiai each have three tackles for loss.
On special teams, sophomore Michael Koenen is 10-of-10 on extra points and has made both his field goal attempts. Koenen has sent five kickoffs for touchbacks and is averaging 41.6 yards a punt. Dykstra had a 58-yard punt return for a touchdown against Fort Lewis as part of a school-record tying four-touchdown night, and leads the GNAC in scoring (12.0 avg) and punt return average (32.0). Johnson is averaging 25.0 yards on three kickoff returns.
SAINT MARY'S REPORT: The Gaels have had back-to-back 6-5 seasons since the arrival of coach Tim Landis, snapping a string of three losing seasons, the longest since the late 1970s, prior to that. The Gaels' spread option offense is one of the most potent running attacks in college football, averaging 232.8 rushing yards a game this season, after ranking fourth nationally in NCAA I-AA for the second straight year in 2001 at 279.7 yards per contest. Saint Mary's is throwing an average of just 11.3 passes a game, but has three players who have rushed for at least 200 yards through four games.
Junior slot back Andre Coleman, who ranks fifth among the school's career rushing leaders with 1,702 yards, is the biggest threat. Coleman, who rushed for 930 yards while averaging 5.6 yards a carry last year and had a 220-yard game as a freshman in 2000, has 243 yards and four touchdowns this season and is averaging 5.7 yards a carry. Sophomore fullback Clint Wilson has a team-high 373 yards on 76 carries, having rushed for a career-high 118 yards last week against Central Washington.
Triggering the attack is true freshman quarterback Trevor Johnston, who has rushed for 206 yards and five touchdowns and is 19-of-36 passing for 202 yards. Johnston works behind an offensive line led by senior guard Nathan Frowsing, a preseason honorable mention All-American selection by Sports Nework. The leading receiver is senior Nate Brown, a Pullman High School grad, who has seven receptions for 83 yards.
Defensively, Saint Mary's is allowing 22.8 points and 362.8 yards a game. Leading the defense is junior defensive back Weston Borba, who was named NCAA I-AA Independent Player of the Week after each of the Gaels' first three games. Borba has a team-high 50 tackles this season and has been in double figures all four contests. Senior linebacker Travis Burkett has 35 tackles, and senior linebacker Scott McMahon has a team-high six tackles for loss.
Placekicker Ezequiel Arevalo, a senior, is 10-of-11 on extra points and 3-of-6 on field goals. Junior punter Ben Antongiovanni is averaging 37.4 yards a punt and has put six inside the 20.
GAELS' PAST: Saint Mary's has a unique and storied gridiron history that includes both a time as a major college power and a period as a club sport. Through the 1930s and 1940s, the Gaels played a top-notch schedule. They went 8-0-1 in 1929, played in the Cotton Bowl in 1939 and the Sugar Bowl in 1946. As late as 1947, they had a Heisman Trophy contender in Herman Wedemeyer and played UCLA before 86,703 people in the L.A. Coliseum, but sagging fortunes led to the dropping of the program after the 1950 season. Football returned as a club sport in 1967 and worked its way through periods at the NCAA Division II and III levels before reaching its present status as a NCAA I-AA program.
INJURY REPORT: Offensive center Loren Winter suffered a sprained ankle in the Fort Lewis game and linebacker Adam Klingenberg pulled a quadriceps muscle, but both are 100 percent for this week's contest. Wide receiver Ryan Van Diest will be out two to three weeks with a torn abductor muscle.
MILESTONES: Greg Dykstra has now caught a pass in 30 consecutive games. He could tie the school record of 37 set by Hoyt Gier (1975-78) in the ninth game of the season, at Western Oregon on Nov. 9, and break it on Nov. 16 when the Vikings host UC Davis in the regular-season finale ... Michael Koenen has kicked a school-record eight straight field goals, connecting on a 52-yarder against Central Oklahoma ... Dykstra is second among Western career leaders in touchdown catches with 24 (school record is 30), and fourth in both catches (134) and receiving yards (2,040).
WESTERN NOTES: The Vikings are 3-6 all-time against NCAA I-AA schools, with two wins over Saint Mary's and one against Cal Poly. The losses have been to Eastern Washington, Montana, Montana State, Nevada and twice to Portland State ... Western's last bye came in the 2000 season. The Vikings were upset the next week at Western Oregon ... Western is averaging just 3.1 yards per rush and the opposition 4.4 ... In last week's NCAA II National Statistics, White was first in forced fumbles (2.0), Dykstra fifth in receptions (6.0) and ninth in scoring (12.0), Shimek 11th in total offense (287.0) and 17th in passing (156.0), and Koenen 21st in punting (41.6) and 24th in field goals (1.0). Western is fifth in passing offense (339.0), 11th in total offense (457.5), 19th in both scoring (38.0) and turnover margin (1.5) and 28th in scoring defense (15.0) ... Senior tight end Adam Snel has made four catches this season, two of them for touchdowns ... The Vikings already have had three GNAC Players of the Week, tackle Lino Fenumiai and White getting the defensive honor, and Dykstra receiving the offensive accolade ... Western is 16-2 at home over the last three seasons.
COACHES: Rob Smith (Washington, 1981) is in his 14th year as head coach and his victory total (91-42-1) and winning percentage of 68.7 are the best in Western history. Smith has directed the Vikings to their only five national playoff berths in 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1999, and guided them to their best regular-season (No.1, 1995) and final (No.1, 1995) national rankings. He was named GNAC Coach of the Year in 2001, Columbia Football Association Coach of the Year in 1989, 1995, 1996, 1999 and 2000, and American Football Coaches Association College Division Region V Coach of the Year in 1995 and 1996.
Tim Landis (Randolph-Macon, 1986) is in his third season (14-12) as head coach at Saint Mary's and 10th year (49-48-1) overall. Landis headed the program at Davidson College for seven years, posting a record of 35-36-1. In his last two years there, the Wildcats were 8-3 in 1999 and 8-2 in 1998.
UNDER THE LIGHTS: The Vikings have just one of three night games remaining this season remaining, that at South Dakota State on Oct. 12. They won the first two, defeating Central Oklahoma, 24-16, on Sept. 5 and Fort Lewis, 52-14, on Sept. 14. Western is 9-6 under the lights since Rob Smith became head coach in 1989, 4-4 at home and 5-2 on the road. The Vikings split a pair of night games in 2001, losing to Central Oklahoma and defeating NCAA I-AA Cal Poly.
PRESEASON PICKS: Two Western players were named to the d2football.com All-America preseason team - sophomore placekicker Michael Koenen being a first team pick and senior defensive end Corey Gunnerson selected to the second team.
Koenen earned first-team d2football.com West Region and GNAC all-star honors as a redshirt freshman last season. He led the team with 82 points, making 13-of-20 field goals, a 1.20 per game average that ranked No.7 nationally; and converting a school-record 43 extra points in 46 attempts.
Gunnerson, a team co-captain, was a second-team d2football.com all-West Region pick in 2001 and a first-team all-GNAC choice. He was credited with 30 tackles, 13 for losses of 56 yards, including 7 quarterback sacks for minus-43 yards.
Gunnerson and Koenen were among five Vikings named to the D2football.com All-West Region preseason team. Gunnerson, Koenen, and senior offensive lineman Joaquin Paratore-McNabb were first-team picks. Koenen also earned second-team honors as a punter along senior wide receiver Greg Dykstra and senior Martez Johnson, who was recognized as both a cornerback and a kick returner.
FAVORED AGAIN: For the sixth year in a row, Western is the favorite to win a league title in football, being rated slightly ahead of arch-rival Central Washington University by the GNAC coaches to win the conference crown.
The Vikings won the inaugural GNAC title last season with a perfect 3-0 record. It was their school-record third straight league championship, winning Columbia Football Association crowns in 1999 and 2000, and their fifth title in the last seven years. They finished second in 1997 and 1998.
Western split the first-place votes with Central, each getting two, but had a 14-13 point edge over the Wildcats. The Vikings have won the last three meetings with Central, including a 36-14 win last season at Bellingham. The two schools open GNAC play on Oct. 19 at Ellensburg.
LAST GAME: Wide receiver Greg Dykstra had four touchdowns, three on pass receptions, and strong safety Rob White forced four turnovers as Western won its home opener, defeating Fort Lewis, 52-14, at Civic Stadium.
Dykstra tied school records for touchdowns and touchdown receptions in a game, hauling in passes of 23, 26 and 31 yards for scores and adding a 58-yard touchdown on a punt return in the final minute of the first half. Dykstra had six receptions for 121 yards and even added a tackle on a fake punt.
White forced four fumbles, three of them recovered by the Vikings, and also had an interception.
The Vikings scored on their opening drive of the game, marching 93 yards in 10 plays, capped by a pass from quarterback Josh Shimek to Dykstra. Western added 17 points in the second quarter to take a 24-0 lead at halftime and held a 45-0 lead early in the fourth quarter before Fort Lewis quarterback Andrew Webb threw two touchdown passes in a 58-second span to narrow the margin.
Webb, who was 19-of-35 for 221 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, hit Mark Tatom for a 57-yard score and following an interception by Richard Johnson, found Chris Brewer on the next play for a 4-yard touchdown.
Shimek completed 18-of-32 passes for 239 yards with an interception and four touchdowns, throwing two scoring passes to Dykstra and also finding tight end Adam Snel for a 23-yard score and slotback Mike Westbrook on a 3-yard touchdown. Backup quarterback Steve Nichols was 7-of-12 for 114 yards and two touchdowns.
Webb was 19-of-35 for 221 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, ending a streak of six consecutive 300-yard passing games that began last season. Jamal Allen, who led NCAA II nationally with 106 receptions last year, had six catches for 77 yards.
Western placekicker Michael Koenen converted all seven extra-point attempts and also hit a 24-yard field goal, giving him a school-record eight consecutive field goals made. He also averaged 48.2 yards on four punts.
The Vikings had a 502-356 edge in total offense and nearly a 2-1 advantage in time-of-possession (39:18-20:42).
LAST MEETING: Western scored on four consecutive possessions in the first half, capped by Erik Totten's 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and went on to defeat Saint Mary's, 30-20, on Sept. 9, 2000, at Saint Mary's Stadium.
The Vikings opened the scoring in the first quarter with a pair of lengthy drives, using 13 plays on the first series and seven on the second. Giorgio Usai capped the first drive with a 2-yard run, and the second ended on a 5-yard pass from quarterback Scott Mitchell to tight end Nick McClain. It was McClain's second touchdown catch in as many games after spending three seasons as an offensive lineman.
The two teams combined for three scores in a 2:23 span of the second quarter. Western's Josh Bailey hit a 42-yard field goal, but Saint Mary's used a long kickoff return by Calvin Dickerson to set up a 3-play, 36-yard drive capped by Jeff Brown's 7-yard run. The Vikings came right back, however, Totten going 87 yards for a touchdown on the ensuing kickoff. It was Western's first kickoff return for a touchdown since 1996.
Saint Mary's scored again just before halftime on a 2-yard plunge by quarterback Gus Papanikolas, cutting Western's lead to 23-13.
Western essentially put the game out of reach late in the third quarter on a 4-yard run by Usai, who rushed for 81 yards on 16 carries, but Saint Mary's closed the scoring in the game's final minute as backup quarterback Ryan Sauter threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Bruce Rhode.
Mitchell completed 17-of-28 passes for 158 yards and one touchdown. His top target was wide receiver Greg Dykstra had nine receptions for 62 yards, seven of the catches coming in the first half.
In addition to his kickoff return, Totten had an interception and nine tackles, seven of them unassisted. He had 189 yards in returns, including six punt returns for 79 yards, and was named CFA Defensive Player of the Week.
The Gaels led Western in total offense, 313-250. Papanikolas was 8-for-18 for 75 yards and one interception. Sauter played the final two possessions, completing 4-of-5 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Chad Hansen led the Gaels' rushing attack with 58 yards on 14 carries.

HEAD COACH ROB SMITH ON ...:
OFFENSE
"I'm pleased with our production through the air certainly, but we've got to get better running the football, especially our run game between the tackles. The gains that we've had have mostly come on the perimeter, and we've just got to do better running up the middle on people.
"Overall I'm pleased. We made a lot of progress offensively from week one to week two. Josh Shimek is maturing with every game, so I'm pleased with where we're at."
DEFENSE
"We felt at the beginning of the year that defense was our strength ... We need for our defense to continue to run around and make plays and force the issue. We're very pleased with the turnovers they were able to force against Fort Lewis. We need more of that."
TWO-WEEK LAYOFF
"We had some momentum going, so it might have been nice for it to come at a different time ... But in preparing for a difficult opponent, an opponent that runs an option offense, it has given us a little additional time to focus on that. And we had a couple of players who were banged up coming out of the Fort Lewis game, that had we been playing last week they would have been questionable. Now they'll definitely be ready to go come Saturday."
2-0 START
"Obviously we are pleased. We've done some things well and we've made some mistakes, but in both games we were the better team and I think that showed. This week is going to be a different story. We're going to play a very strong opponent. So this will be a real indication as to where we're at."
SAINT MARY'S
"Anytime you face this type of attack, it's difficult to prepare for. They run it very effectively and they are about 80 percent run right now. But you can't forget about the pass. They do have the ability that if you focus too much attention on the run, they can rise up with a play-action fake and beat you that way. We're going to have to be very disciplined defensively on Saturday."
"There are a lot of distractions this week with school starting, but it's important that the players remain focused on getting ready for a very good Saint Mary's team. It's their homecoming and they are coming off a disappointing defeat at Central Washington."
ROB WHITE
"He had a tremendous spring and fall camp, and has solidified himself at strong safety, although he would be the first to admit that he can get a lot better. But there were some big shoes to fill there (graduated All-American Erik Totten), and he's done so nicely."
GREG DYKSTRA
"He's the type of player that when plays need to be made, he's often the one that stands up and makes them. A very solid football player all the way around."
