AIR FORCE REPORT: The Falcons return 12 starters from last year's WAC Championship squad that tallied a 12-1 record and defeated Washington, 45-25, in the O'ahu Bowl. Air Force finished last season ranked No. 10 in the final USA Today/ESPN poll.
The Falcons will have a new starting quarterback this season as senior Cale Bonds replaces the graduated Blane Morgan. Bonds started two games last season including leading Air Force over Navy by rushing for 167 yards and two scores and throwing for 194 yards and two touchdowns. The 361 yards of total offense accumulated by Bonds against Navy ranks as the fourth most in school history.
Bonds' favorite target figures to be Matt Farmer who became the first Air Force receiver since 1985 to earn All-Conference honors last year with 35 catches for 650 yards.
Air Force has great depth in the backfield with Qualario Brown, Scotty McKay, Matt Rillos and Chris Wade vying for time at halfback.
At fullback, expect Scott Becker and Jeremiah Laster to carry the load. On defense, tackle Shawn Thomas and linebacker Craig Thorstenson will lead the charge.
FALCON HEAD COACH FISHER DeBERRY: Air Force is led by 16-year head coach Fisher DeBerry. During his tenure in Colorado Springs, DeBerry has guided the Falcons to a 120-64-1 mark, including a 5-5 record in bowl games. DeBerry is a three-time WAC Coach of the Year winning the honor in 1985, 1995 and 1998.
In 1985, he was named National Coach of the Year. Throughout his career at Air Force, DeBerry has coached 18 All-Americans, 105 All-WAC players, 10 academic All-Americans and eight NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners.
Before becoming the head man in 1984, DeBerry served four seasons as an assistant on the Air Force staff. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, Wofford College, where he was an assistant from 1969-71. Following his stint at Wofford, DeBerry was an assistant at Appalachian State from 1971-1979.

TALLEY'S TENURE: Entering his 15th season on the Main Line, head coach Andy Talley can feel responsible for every facet of the Villanova football program, having started it from scratch in 1985. In his career at Villanova, Talley has recorded a 94-56-1 mark making him the all-time winningest coach in Villanova history.
Talley's 20-year overall coaching record currently stands at 122-72-2. During his career as the Wildcat mentor, Talley has guided Villanova to five NCAA playoff appearances (1989, 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997) three Conference titles and one Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy.
In 1997, Talley garnered the Eddie Robinson Award and the AFCA/GTE National Coach of the Year.
VILLANOVA PICKED SIXTH: In the pre-season Atlantic 10 poll as selected by the coaches and media, Villanova was chosen to finish sixth. Defending I-AA National Champion Massachusetts was picked to win the league followed by Delaware, Connecticut, William & Mary and Richmond.
Following Villanova, the seventh through 11th spots were occupied by New Hampshire, Maine, Northeastern, James Madison and Rhode Island.
OPENING UP: During the tenure of 15-year head coach Andy Talley, Villanova has recorded a 9-5 overall mark in season openers. In opening games played on the road, the Wildcats are 4-2 under Talley's direction.
In the history of Villanova football, the 'Cats have compiled a 53-45-3 record in season openers.
MONTH OF CHAMPIONS: Following the Air Force game, the month of September does not get any easier for Villanova, as the Wildcats play four-straight opponents who won championships last year.
After leading off with defending WAC Champion Air Force, the 'Cats play at Atlantic 10 Champion Richmond before heading home to play the defending I-AA National Champion Massachusetts Minutemen on Sept. 18.
Villanova will finish the month of September at crosstown rival and defending Ivy League Champion University of Pennsylvania on Sept. 25. The 11 opponents on Villanova's 1999 slate had a combined 83-46 record last season.
OVERTIME HISTORY: During Andy Talley's tenure as Villanova's head football coach, the Wildcats have participated in five overtime games and have tallied a 3-2 record. Four of the five overtime games have been played at Villanova Stadium.
Villanova's last overtime contest came in the home opener last year (Sept. 12, 1998) when the 'Cats defeated Delaware 34-31 on Casey Hannon's 35-yard field goal.
CAPTAINS: Serving as the 1999 team captains will be senior offensive lineman Ryan Knight, senior linebacker Shaun Lyons and senior cornerback Hezekiah Lewis.
BAD NEWS: The 1999 Villanova football season started off on a sour note when it was learned a week before pre-season camp on August 2 that All-American running back Brian Westbrook would be lost for the season due to a knee injury. The 5-9, 195 pound junior underwent an arthroscopic procedure in March and after an extensive rehabilitation program did not produce the desired results, Westbrook opted to have reconstructive surgery.
Westbrook is coming off a sensational sophomore season where he became the first player in the history of NCAA football at any level to rush for 1,000 yards and receive for 1,000 yards in the same season. In 11 games in 1998, Westbrook gained 1,046 yards on 200 carries and scored 10 touchdowns and he made 89 receptions for 1,144 yards and 15 touchdowns.
In addition, the Ft. Washington, Md., native tallied 836 yards in returns, including returning one kickoff for a touchdown. Besides leading all of I-AA in scoring with 160 points, Westbrook established an NCAA I-AA record for all-purpose yards in a season with 3,026. For his efforts last season, Westbrook was named first team All-American by both the Associated Press and The Sports Network.
Westbrook will medically redshirt this year and will have two years of eligibility remaining beginning with the 2000 season.
BODEN ON PACE: Already the owner of 21 Villanova school records, Wildcat senior quarterback Chris Boden is on pace to break two more school marks in 1999.
Entering play this fall, Boden has 574 career completions and is just 219 shy of Kirk Schulz's career mark of 793. In addition, Boden has thrown for 7,088 career yards and he is 2,588 yards away from Schulz's school record of 9,676 yards.
In his Villanova career, Boden has completed 574-of-938 (61%) for 7,088 yards and 75 touchdowns. Boden has also thrown just 17 career interceptions.
24-STRAIGHT: Senior quarterback Chris Boden has started 24 consecutive games in his Villanova career and has thrown at least one touchdown pass in all 24 games. In those 24 contests, Boden has tossed three or more scoring strikes 12 times. Only twice has Boden thrown just one touchdown pass in a game.
The San Clemente, Calif., native has thrown for over 3,000 yards in two straight seasons (3,707 in 1997/ 3,050 in 1998).
CLOSING IN: Senior Chris Boden enters the 1999 season with 75 career touchdowns passes which is just three shy of the Atlantic 10 Conference record for career scoring strikes held by Rhode Island's Tom Ehrhardt who threw 78 touchdown passes from 1984-86.
WIDE RECEIVER EXPERIENCE: Unlike last year, Villanova has a great deal of experience at the wideout spots this season as junior Steve Ward and sophomore Murle Sango return. Last season, both Ward and Sango started all 11 contests.
Ward is coming off a fine sophomore season where he made 60 receptions for 818 yards and five scores. The 60 receptions ranks as the sixth best single season mark in Villanova history.
In 11 games in 1998, Sango made 32 receptions for 422 yards and a score.
REVAMPED SECONDARY: Even though three of last year's secondary members return this season, there will be a new look to the Villanova secondary this season.
Senior cornerback Hezekiah Lewis, who split time between corner and safety last year, is expected to play only corner in 1999. Lewis is a pre-season first team All-Atlantic 10 selection.
Senior DeLonne Kelly will move from free safety to strong safety this season, while junior Braheem Powell will switch from corner to free safety.
The one new member to the secondary this year will be sophomore Brian Berko-Boateng. As a redshirt freshman last year, Berko-Boateng played on the offensive side of the ball as a wide receiver.
BIG SHOES TO FILL: With all-everything running back Brian Westbrook out for the season, head coach Andy Talley will be looking to junior Ducarmel Augustin and sophomore Luke Stopper to fill the void in the Wildcat backfield. The 6-0, 225 pound Augustin will move to tailback this season after playing fullback his first two seasons. Augustin had an outstanding freshman season in 1997 when he made 32 receptions for 386 yards and four scores and he rushed 44 times for 187 yards and three touchdowns.
In an injury-plagued season a year ago, Augustin carried the ball 11 times for 48 yards and one touchdown and he tallied 20 receptions for 157 yards and a score. Augustin suffered through numerous injuries last year with the most serious coming in week nine when he injured his knee and was required to undergo reconstructive surgery.
Stopper moved to running back at the beginning of the 1998 season after being a receiver in the Wildcat offensive attack. In limited action last season, Stopper rushed five times for 26 yards and a touchdown.
STRONG LEG: Villanova has one of the top place kickers in all of I-AA in sophomore Casey Hannon. As a freshman last year, Hannon made 10-of-12 field goals and 40-of-42 PATs to finish second on the team in scoring with 70 points.
Dating back to last year, Hannon has made 38-straight PATs. For his efforts in 1998, he earned second team acclaim from both the ECAC and Atlantic 10 Conference. He was named pre-season first team All-Atlantic 10 this season.
Hannon began his career at Penn State before transferring to Villanova before the 1998 season.
LEADING THE WAY: Senior linebacker Shaun Lyons is expected to be a major force on the Wildcat defense in 1999. Last season, Lyons led the 'Cats in tackles for the second straight year with 104 stops (64 solo/40 assisted) to go with seven tackles for loss. For his efforts last season, Lyons was named third team All-Atlantic 10. In 1997, Lyons made a team-best 113 tackles.
Earning a starting spot midway through his freshman season, Lyons will be making his 31st straight start in the season opener at Air Force. Lyons was named first team pre-season All-Atlantic 10.
IRON MAN: Junior offensive tackle Stan Bennett has started every game of his Villanova career and will be making his 25th consecutive start against Air Force in the season opener.
As a true freshman in 1997, Bennett started all 13 games at guard before moving to tackle last year where he started all 11 contests.
WILDCATS ON THE RADIO: Every Villanova football game this season will be carried live by the Villanova Football Radio Network. The flagship station for the Wildcats this season will be WFIL-AM 560.
Also carrying Wildcat games in 1999 will be WJNN-FM 106.7 out of Cape May, N.J. Returning for his 13th season as Villanova's play-by-play man is Joe Eichhorn. Joining Eichhorn for an eighth consecutive year is Ryan Fannon.
All 11 Wildcat gridiron contests will be broadcast live, with a pre-game show airing 30 minutes prior to kickoff during away games and one hour prior to kickoff for home games.
ANDY TALLEY RADIO SHOW: Continuing in 1999, WFIL-AM 560-AM, WZZD-AM 990 and WJNN-FM 106.7, will broadcast the Andy Talley Radio Show. The one-hour call-in show is hosted by color commentator Ryan Fannon and will provide a weekly recap of Villanova football games, as well as a preview of upcoming contests.
The show will be held at the Wild Onion Restaurant located just up the street from Villanova Stadium on Conestoga Road.
