The University of San Diego, which sponsors sixteen NCAA Division I intercollegiate teams, competes under the athletic nickname ofToreros. In 1961 , the Most Reverend Bishop Buddy, the founding father of USO, announced that the school's nickname would change from Pioneers to Toreros. "The name Toreros is keeping with the friendly relationship which exists between San Diego and Mexico," His Excellency said at the time. Torero comes from the spanish term toro, the bull, and from the word torear, to tight bulls. All of the contestants in the ring are called toreros. Torero is a general term describing a bullfighter and signifies courage, honor and fidelity. USO student-athletes, like the Torero, represent a willingness to stand alone in the ring and accept the challenge. The past 2000-200 I school year marked the 40th anniversary with Toreros as the official nickname for USO athletic teams. www.usdtoreros.com

Season Outlook
2 TOREROS GEARING UP FOR SOLID 2001 CAMPAIGN Sixth year coach Kevin McGarry returns 67 players and 14 starters from last year's club that finished 4-6 overall and 1-3 in the Pioneer Football League. Experi– ence will be found on the defensive side of the ball, and with the special teams unit, but the Toreros will be overhauling its offense with seven starters gone. Spearheading the defense will be returning First Team All-PFL performers Brian Luman (5-11, 218, senior) and Bryan Baxter (5-11, 210, senior). Luman, who moved to safety after the loss of starter Kyle Slusser (broken leg), led the Toreros in tackles with 101 (57 unassisted). Selected the team's Defensive Player of the Year, he also chipped in with 5 interceptions (110 return yards) and 7 pass break-ups. A versatile athlete, he twice was voted the PFL Player of the Week for defense, and even earned one PFL Special Teams Player of the Week honor. He averaged 28.1 yards per kickoff return for the Toreros. Baxter earned First Team honors this past season after racking up 83 tackles and 3 quarterback sacks. A three-year starter, he was named to the PFL's Second Team in 1999 after he tallied 93 tackles.
Two players that will make an immedi<\te impact on the Torero defense include seniors Kyle Slusser (6-0, 190, safety) and Anthony Banovac (6-1, 260, tackl e). Both players were lost last season due to injury after earning Second Team All– PFL honors in 1999. Slusser should move back into the safety slot where he accounted for a team-best 97 tackles and 4 interceptions in I999. He is currently tied as the Torero career record holder for interceptions with 12. Banovac returns to the tackle position where he notched 34 tackles and had a team-best 7 sacks in 1999. Other starters back that make the Torero defense such a strong unit include junior defensive back Marvin Banks, Jr. (5 - 7, 156), senior DL Brandon Camacho (5-9, 231 ), senior defensive back Jason DeMello (5-8, 180), senior tackle Joseph Herrera (6-1, 255), and senior defensive back Wesley Morgan (5-10, 180). The special teams corp will be in good hands with the return of senior punter Dylan Mora (Honorable Mention All-PFL, 36.3 average), and kicker Brent Labarrere (6-1, 180). While Luman will be the main return man for kickoffs, Mora should handle punt returns again after averaging 11 . l yards per return in 2000 and earning the team's Special Team's Player of the Year award. Kyle Slusser, back from a leg injury, will also play a key role on both kickoff and punt returns for the Toreros. The Torero offensive unit was the hardest hit due to graduation, most notably running back Oscar Arzu (857 yards, 8 TDs) and quarterbacks Mike Stadler (1,520 yards; 11 TDs) and Tom Jackson (544 yards; 4 TDs). Also gone are wide receivers Mark Pappas (44 catches, 578 yards, 3 TDs) and Matt Hackett (41 receptions; 592 yards , 4 TDs), and lineman Christos Renner. The offensive cupboard wasn't left completely bare, however, with senior center Justin Dixon (6-3, 280), a First Team
All-PFL selection, back to anchor the offensive line. He will be joined on the line by returning starters Matt Collins (6-5 , 290, sophomore tackle) and Matt Guardia (6-2, 253, senior tight end). Guardia was named to the PFL's Second Team after hauling in 12 passes for 98 yards and I touchdown . Seniors Bob Ballard (6-2, 306), Seth Litchney (6-2, 280) and Ryan Zierolf (6-3, 275) will all be competing for playing time across the offensive line. Junior Kenny Villalobos ( 186 yards, I TD) returns at fullback, and is expected to be joined in the backfield by junior tailback Phillip Thrash (13 7 yards, 4 TDs). Senior Damien Minna (5-10, 210), who moves over from the linebacker position, joins sophomore Bryan Newbrough (6-1 , 205) and two-way performer Josh Calista (6-1 , 225) for players pushing for playing time in the backfield. All the other offensive spots are up for grabs heading into the 200 I campaign, including the quar– terback spot. Sophomore returners Ryan Lawrence (6-4, 220) and Eric Rasmussen (6-3 210), along with transfer Brian Kirkpatrick (6-3, 215), will all be battling for the starting quarterback slot. The Toreros will play seven of their ten games at their home field , Torero Stadium. The stadium received a facelift this past summer, receiving additional seating (6,000 total capacity), new turf, new lighting and sound system, and addi– tional press box space. Brown (Sept. 15th) and Georgetown (Nov. 3rd) will high– light USD's home nonconference schedule, with Drake (Sept. 29th) and Butler (Oct. 20th) its two PFL home opponents.

Head Coach Kevin McGarry

KEVIN McGARRY + 6th Season as Torero Head Coach ♦ 24th Season on USD Coaching Staff
Kevin McGarry enters his sixth year as head coach of the University of San Diego football program. With 67 returners and 14 starters back from last season, McGarry is optimistic the Toreros will improve on last year's 4-6 season. In 1997 he directed the Toreros to an 8-3 overall mark and a school best second place finish in the Pioneer Football League with its 4-1 mark. The 1997 campaign was USD's best showing since moving to the NCAA Division 1-AA ranks and the PFL conference in 1993. The '97 club became only the fourth USD squad to achieve at least eight victories in 35 years of Torero football, and it was the program's most victories since the 1981 season. The team's 33.6 points per game average ranks second all-time in USD football. The tenth coach to direct the Torero football program since its start in 1956, Kevin is the first USD graduate to head the position. McGarry enters the 2001 season with a career mark of 23-28.
McGarry is no stranger to USD football. Prior to his stint as head coach in 1996, he was an assistant coach at the University of San Diego for eighteen seasons, including the last fourteen as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach. He became a full-time assistant for football in 1985 -- his first seven years ( 1978-84) were split between footbal I, women's softbalI(head coach) and as an elementary school teacher. In addition to his on-the-field duties, Kevin was also responsible for recruiting and as liaison for the USD Football Alumni Club. "Kev in' s years of experience at USD have prepared him well for this position," stated Tom Iannacone, Director of Athletics. "He clearly understands the role of the football program within the mission of the university." Over the past twenty-three seasons with Kevin on the coaching staff, USD has accumulated an overall record of 124-102-3, including sixteen seasons with records of .500 or better. Of the nine USD football players that have been named GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans since 1981, eight have come from the defen– sive side of the ball, including seven defensive backs. In 1987 the Torero defense set a school record for shutouts in a season with four, and the team gave up just 100 points in ten contests and finished 6-3-1. Prior to joining the USD coaching staff in 1978, Kevin was a two– year letterwinner on the USD football squad ( 1976-77), earning co– Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1977. He played two years ( 1974-75) at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California, earning Most Valuable Player honors in 1975.
l
He received both his Bachelor ofArts in Education (1979), and his Master's Degree in Education Administration (1985) from the Univer– sity of San Diego. He is currently on a leave of absense from USD's Doctoral program in Education. Kevin and his wife, Mary Ann, reside in Scripps Ranch and have four children: twins Pat and Mike ( 14 year-olds), Timbo ( 11-year-old), and Matt (5-year-old).
