The John Carroll University football team is looking to continue its success from last season under second year head coach Tom Arth. While the team lost many significant contributors, they return seven starters and 30 letterwinners on offense led by quarterback Mark Myers. The defense returns six starters and was ranked highly nationally last season, but lost some key players and will be led by new coordinator Chris Shula. Special teams are strong led by placekicker Kresimir Ivkovic and the team is ranked in the top 10 nationally entering the season.

1. Football Looking To Continue To Play "Our Way"
By Kevin Smith, Graduate Assistant

Resurgence, the theme of the 2013 season for the John Carroll University football program.
After an 11-year hiatus from the NCAA postseason first-year head coach Tom Arth hit the ground running instilling the old Jesuit ideal of 'nuestro modo' meaning 'our
way'.
The former All-American quarterback guided his alma mater back into the postseason for the first time since 2002. Now in his second year at the helm, Arth will be
tasked with maintaining JCU's spot amongst the nation's elite teams.
"We have a number of letterwinners back this year which is great," said Arth. "We have great leadership. We did lose quite a few really significant contributors off of
last year's team. They will be really difficult to replace and that's a big challenge for us going forward."
Offense
John Carroll returns seven starters and 30 letterwinners from a unit that ranked 14th in Division III in passing offense (312.6 yards per game) and scoring offense (41.9
points per game).
Leading the way will be stallworth Mark Myers, current All-America candidate who had a record-setting year in 2013.
Myers re-wrote the single-season passing record book completing 246-of-385 passes for 3,228 yards. The veteran signal caller connected on 28 touchdown throws.
With nearly every receiving weapon returning the passing attack could be one of the most-potent yet in program history. Big-play threats Aramis Greenwood (61
receptions, 959 yards, 13 touchdowns) and Marshall Howell (22 receptions, 428 yards, 3 touchdowns) coupled with the emerging Brian Kornowski (27 receptions, 457
yards, 2 touchdowns) and Zach Strippy (34 receptions, 399 yards, 4 touchdowns) have the offense primed.
Jodran D'Orazio will offer an additional targets for the JCU signal calling corps, which include veterans Wes Keller and Jake Schaefer.
John Carroll's backfield took a hit with the loss of the shifty DaQuan Grobsmith (664 yards, 11 touchdowns). However, Tommy Michals accepted the challenge to play
a larger role in the offense last year with 720 yards and eight scores. Michals will be counted on to be the feature back this season. The Blue and Gold will look to
Jonathan Brick and Josh Dasch to help out in the run game.
John Carroll's deep offensive line will once again look to survive a number of graduations. The Blue Streaks have only surrendered 14 sacks over the past two years and
will count on Jack Corrigan, Anthony Latina and Alex Manos to anchor the unit. Joe Connolly, Craig Kircher and Dante West will be amongst the group competing
for playing time.
DEFENSE
Six starters and 25 letterwinners are back in the fold for a John Carroll defense that ranked second nationally in total defense (229.1 yards allowed per game) and
scoring defense (9.1 points allowed per game).
