CATHEDRAL SPARTANS MOVING UP TO FBS, JOINING SUN BELT Mar 27, 2013 Cathedral, a private university based out of Atlanta, Georgia, has announced it is leaving the Colonial Athletic Association to join the Sun Belt in 2013. The Spartans, who began exploring football in 2006, played their inaugural season as an FCS Independent in 2009. They join the FBS ranks with a compiled record of 10-23 under head coach George Pasey. "I am very excited to embark on a new chapter of our football program in the Sun Belt Conference," Cathedral chancellor Francis Gerney said. "Our student-athletes have earned the opportunity to participate at this level and we welcome the new academic and athletic relationships that will develop as a result of this partnership." Cathedral will begin playing Sun Belt games and will be a revenue-sharing member of the conference in 2013 and be allowed to compete for the conference title. However, the Spartans will not be eligible to play in a bowl game until 2014.

Samford Bulldogs at Cathedral Spartans Sep 7, 2013 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH SCORE Samford Bulldogs (0-0) 0 0 0 0 0 Cathedral Spartans (0-0) 14 14 14 0 42 Michael Kane-Polsen embraces the crowd's cheers at the Georgia Dome following his first of four touchdown catches Saturday on Sept. 7, 2013 against the Samford Bulldogs. Cathedral Game Leaders Passing: QB George Pasey Jr. (Sr.) - 17-27, 291 Yds, 5 TD, 1 Int QB Devron Fritz (So.) - 1-3, 5 Yds, 2 Int Rushing: RB Tory Pearson (Sr.) - 16 Att, 78 Yds, 1 TD QB Devron Fritz (So.) - 7 Att, 24 Yds WR Michael Kane-Polson (Sr.) - 3 Att, 22 Yds Receiving: WR Michael Kane-Polson (Sr.) - 7 Rec, 160 Yds, 4 TD TE Howard Townsend III (Jr.) - 2 Rec, 47 Yds FB Adrian Gates (Jr.) - 1 Rec, 1 TD Defense: OLB Terrel Jamison (So.) - 7 Tack, 1 TFL MLB Hiram Hartman (Sr.) - 6 Tack OLB Brandon Mayhew (Sr.) - 5 Tack, 4 TFL, 1 Sack CATHEDRAL DEFEATS SAMFORD IN FIRST GAME AS FBS MEMBER Sept 7, 2013 Michael Kane-Polsen and George Pasey Jr. teamed up to make history on top of history as Cathedral won its FBS debut, defeating Sanford by the score of 42-0 Saturday at the Georgia Dome. The Spartans outplayed Samford from the opening kickoff and never took their foot off the gas. George Pasey Jr., son of head coach George Pasey and an LTU graduate transfer, found an early connection with wide receiver Michael Kane-Polsen which led to an end result of four touchdown receptions - breaking his own school record. Pasey also broke a record as his five touchdowns (to one interception) etched out former starter Devron Fritz. What It Means: The victory goes down as Cathedral's first as a member of the FBS, and for head coach George Pasey, the win registers in as his first career shutout during his four seasons in Atlanta. Quotable: "You look at this win against a lower-division opponent and you think, 'shoot, that was supposed to happen'. But in reality, that was the same level of competition we barely got by against just a season ago. This is without a doubt a huge way to start off our season." - UC coach George Pasey "Gotta tip my hat off to the guys on the sideline and in the press boxes, they put us in the perfect position to make plays and execute on the field today." - UC quarterback George Pasey Jr. Notable: 8 was the big number for Cathedral on Saturday as the Spartans recorded eight sacks, while eight Spartans tallied at a least one carry, and eight players caught at least one reception. Up Next: Cathedral continues its home stand at the Georgia Dome with an upcoming match against Chattanooga next Saturday. The Mocs fell 31-21 in their season opener against UT Martin.

Franklin (Sr.) - 3 Tack, 2.0 Sacks CATHEDRAL DOWNS CHATTANOOGA IN SECOND STRAIGHT WIN Sept 14, 2013 Tory Pearson took eight carries for 75 yards and three touchdowns as Cathedral won their second straight game with a 45-13 blowout over the visiting Chattanooga Mocs. After posting a shutout the week before, the Spartans let up their season's first score as Chattanooga's senior quarterback Matt Davis rushed for his first of two touchdowns on a 29-yard keeper (followed by penalty-missed PAT). Cathedral, however, wouldn't look back as they scored 38 unanswered points before the half. Behind the arm of George Pasey Jr., the Spartans orchestrated a potent offense that forced Chattanooga to respect both the pass and run. The game slowed down in the second half as the Spartans rested their starters in favor for younger players. Depth became a question, especially in the secondary, as Chattanooga's Matt Davis began to rack up yardage through the air leading to two consecutive red zone trips, the second culminating in a touchdown. What It Means: Cathedral improves to 2-0, showing great poise early on in their transition year in the FBS. The Spartans pair up with Troy (2-0) as the only undefeated teams remaining in the Sun Belt Conference. Quotable: "I think (our early success) really reflects on the amount of work we put in during the spring and fall. We prepared to have results like this." - UC running back Tory Pearson "(Michael Kane-Polson) is fine. He was begging me to put him back out there. He'll be ready next week." - UC coach George Pasey Notable: Cathedral recorded 574 yards of offense, including 407 through the air, which is their most in school history. Michael Kane-Polson left the game in the second quarter with reported upper body issues, said to be both back and arm injuries. He would not return. Up Next: The Spartans hit the road to face West Virginia in what will be their first look against a fellow FBS team this season.

Fritz, who started every game last season, passed 12-of-24 for 129 yards. Cathedral Game Leaders Passing: QB Devron Fritz (So.) - 12-24, 129 Yds, 2 Int, 2 Sack QB George Pasey Jr. (Sr.) - 5-14, 26 Yds, 3 Int, 1 Sack Rushing: RB Tory Pearson (Sr.) - 22 Att, 94 Yds, 4.2 Avg, Long 16 RB Myles Brady (Jr.) - 8 Att, 46 Yds, Long 19 QB Devron Fritz (So.) - 11 Att, 25 Yds, 1 Fum (Lost) Receiving: TE Howard Townsend III (Jr.) - 5 Rec, 56 Yds, 11.2 Avg WR Michael Kane-Polson (Sr.) - 3 Rec, 32 Yds, 10.6 Avg WR Riley Nixon (Sr.) - 3 Rec, 27 Yds, 9.0 Avg Defense: MLB Hiram Hartman (Sr.) - 5 Tack, 1 FF MLB Franklin Rich Jr. (Sr.) - 4 Tack, 1 Int (4 Yds) CB Amir Valentine (Sr.) - 2 Tack, 1 PD, 1 FF CATHEDRAL GETS ITS EXPECTED REALITY CHECK WITH LOSS AT WEST VIRGINIA Sept 21, 2013 Cathedral received a reality check Saturday on the road in Morgantown as they faced off against the Big 12's West Virginia, losing in their first contest of the season, 48-9. Cathedral got on the board first with a 24-yard field goal by sophomore placekicker Tanner Burnett, who would score all the Spartans' points, going 3-of-3 on the day. West Virginia struck back with 21 unanswered points, including two "Pick 6's", each thrown by George Pasey Jr., who would be sidelined for former starter Devron Fritz after throwing his third interception of the half. The Mountaineers took a 27-6 lead heading into the half, and returned to add 21 more points to the deficit in the second half, topped with an 83-yard touchdown run from an underutilized Andrew Buie. What It Means: Cathedral receives an accurate evaluation as they continue their year one journey in the FBS. With upcoming games against Florida State, Troy, and other primer Sun Belt competition, this is now the time to see out adjustments. The quarterback situation, according to head coach George Pasey, will be revisited following this game as both Pasey Jr. and Devron Fritz played, but struggled. Quotable: "The quarterbacks are going to battle for position every week. Both guys are reliable, and both bring something different to the table." - UC coach George Pasey "I talked with Coach Crane (QB's coach), and I talked with my dad. It's just the mistakes I was making. They were clear and point blank. It can't happen; not on this level." - UC quarterback George Pasey Jr. Notable: Michael Kane-Polson didn't record a reception until the second half. The wideout was notably helped off the field following his first reception, but returned just two plays later ... Both UC quarterbacks committed three turnovers; George Pasey Jr. recording three interceptions and Devron Fritz throwing two interceptions and fumbling away a pitch on WVU's nine yard line. Up Next: Cathedral gets a bye week for recovery before hosting Jacksonville State on Oct. 12 in what will be their third and final game against an FCS opponent this season.

The senior wide receiver finished the game with 101 yards of total offense while scoring once on the ground. Cathedral Game Leaders Passing: QB Devron Fritz (So.) - 2-8, 38 Yds, 1 Int, 19.0 Avg, Long 33 QB George Pasey Jr. (Sr.) - 6-25, 104 Yds, 1 Int, 17.3 Avg, Long 29, 2 Sack P Isaac Craig (Jr.) - 1-1, 17 Yds Rushing: RB Tory Pearson (Sr.) - 19 Att, 90 Yds, 4.7 Avg, 1 TD, Long 27 WR Michael Kane-Polson (Sr.) - 4 Att, 50 Yds, 12.5 Avg, 1 TD, Long 17 QB Devron Fritz (So.) - 5 Att, 29 Yds, 5.8 Avg, Long 17 Receiving: WR Michael Kane-Polson (Sr.) - 3 Att, 51 Yds, 17.0 Avg, Long 28 RB Tory Pearson (Sr.) - 2 Rec, 34 Yds, 17.0 Avg, Long 29 WR Heath Young (Fr.) - 1 Rec, 33 Yds Defense: MLB Hiram Hartman (Sr.) - 9 Tack, 1 TFL DT Danta Cason (Sr.) - 9 Tack, 4 TFL, 1.0 Sack CB Rian Watkins-Reed (Sr.) - 8 Tack, 1 Int (8 Yds) SPARTANS DEFEAT JACKSONVILLE STATE IN DEFENSIVE SHOWDOWN Oct 5, 2013 They may be an FBS squad now, but for Cathedral, defeating No. 21 Jacksonville State stands as the young program's first ever win over a ranked opponent. A failed two-point conversion left the needed points off the board for JSU following their first touchdown of the game, prevailing the Spartans to a 14-12 victory. Cathedral had contained the Gamecock's heavily reliant rushing attack for much of the game, holding standout running back to 125 yards on a workload of 32 carries. On offense, they played both quarterbacks George Pasey Jr. (who started) and Devron Fritz, neither of them ever finding rhythm. With Pasey Jr. struggling through the air, Cathedral leaned on Fritz to open room on the ground with a spread option offense. The scheme worked, as the Spartans posted 170 yards rushing on 32 attempts. What It Means: The quarterback conversation will roll on for Cathedral, much to the dismay of head coach George Pasey. The Spartans, however, pick up their third win of the season, all of which have come against FCS opponents. To be brutally honest, this could very well be their final win of the season. Quotable: "We knew coming into this game that we'd play both (quarterbacks), but we're looking for continuity. I'm not much of a fan of switching up guys every other play. Not my style. But in order to not do that, one of our guys has got to step up." - UC coach George Pasey "We love playing at the Dome, we're not going to lose any games here." - UC running back Tory Pearson Notable: After starting the season with a five touchdown performance, senior quarterback George Pasey Jr. has thrown four interceptions to no touchdowns ... Michael Kane-Polson tallied 101 yards of offense, rushing for 50 yards and a score while hauling in three receptions for 51 yards ... UC recorded a total of 13 tackles for loss. Up Next: Cathedral heads to Tallahassee next for undoubtedly its biggest challenge of the season against Florida State. The Seminoles (3-1) rank No. 16 in the both the Coaches and AP Poll.

CATHEDRAL FOOTBALL NEWSFEED RIAN WATKINS-REED NAMED CONFERENCE POTY Rian Watkins-Reed, a nickleback from Conyers, Georgia, has been named the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Jacksonville State during week six. Watkins-Reed recorded eight tackles, two for a loss, and intercepted a pass which would lead to running back Tory Pearson's seven-yard touchdown. Rian-Watkins joins teammate Michael Kane-Polson (week one) as the only two Spartans to be honored this season. SPARTANS ADD ANOTHER QUARTERBACK Among the Spartans early commitments is two-star quarterback Amir Thomas of Lithia Springs, Georgia. Thomas is rated the No. 29 dual-threat quarterback in the country, and is No. 87 overall. He selected Cathedral over Memphis, FAU, FIU, and East Carolina. PASEY BENCHES SON IN FAVOR OF PREVIOUS STARTER, DEVRON FRITZ Sophomore quarterback Devron Fritz will take the opening snap Saturday against Florida State, according to head coach George Pasey. The fifth-year head coach benches his son, Georgia Pasey Jr., in the process in what he calls "more of a strategic approach than anything". After debuting with a record-setting five passing touchdown performance against Samford, Pasey Jr. has thrown four interceptions to no touchdowns. While Fritz has also struggled to throw, he has provided a spark on the ground. HIGH CHANCE OF RAIN IN TALLAHASSEE ON SATURDAY Meteorologists are predicting a heavy chance of rain and possible thunderstorms Saturday in Tallahassee. Cathedral kicks off against the No. 15-ranked Florida State Seminoles at 3:30 PM EST. The game will be broadcasted on SEC Network; the Spartans second regionally televised game of the season.
