2006 Division 1-AA National Championship</font>
I figured I'd go on and get everyone ready for the championship game this weekend. I know it isn't called the 1-AA championship anymore, but you know me, I'm sticking with the familiar!
It comes on at 7PM Central on ESPN 2.
Appalachian State has TE Daniel Bettis, along with backup QBs Trey Elder and Chase Laws who come in for occasional runs, and Freshman WR Josh Johnson will see the field as well. On defense, LB Cam Speer has 56 total tackles, 1.5 TFLs, a forced fumble, and 3 QB hurries. All-American Safety Corey Lynch has 78 total tackles, 4 TFLs, a fumble recovery, 4 INTs, 5 pass break-ups, and 1 QB hurry. Safety Billy Riddle, who backs-up Lynch and plays at the other spot a little, had 23 total tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 QB hurry this year.
Massachusetts has TE Ian Jorgenson, QB Liam Coen, WR Mike Omar. LB Jason Hatchell leads the defense with 126 total tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 6 Pass Break-ups, 1 sack, and 2 fumble recoveries that he forced. LB Brad Anderson is third on the team's defense, with 108 total tackles with 5.5 TFLs, 3 sacks, 1 INT, 4 pass break-ups and 2 Forced Fumbles. DE John Hatchell, brother of Jason, has had a solid year with 36 total tackles, 8.5 TFLs, 5 sacks, a pass break-up, a fumble recovery, and 3 forced fumbles. John is the strongest player in UMass football history after breaking his own bench press record this season, lifting 520 pounds, besting his old mark of 500 set in 2005! NT Jason Leonard had 29 total tackles, 2.5 TFLs and 5 pass break-ups.Edited by: Colonel_Reb
