It is nown for its breathtaking views of prominent mountan ranges, including Cascade Range and its Grizzly Peak (elevation 5,100 feet). The football field, Fuller Field, became the permanent site of Raider home games in 1955. It wa named after John Fuller, a former Ashland postmaster who was instrumental in establishing the university in 1926. <br>Desite the relatively small size of the university, VanDeZande s football players have strengthlevels comparable to many Division I programs, as evidenced by the accomplishments of its defense. VanDeZande s defense held opponents to 14.5 yards per game and ranked in the top eight for total defense with 254.5 yards per game. And VanDeZande thinks the outlook is even better this year.  Last year we had our strongest team ever, but this year we re even stronger. We have several athletes bench pressing over 440 and squatting over 550. <br>In addition to maintaining a sound lifting program, VanDeZande encourages success with a motivation program he calls his  Steak Dinner Club. VanDeZande explains,  We have nine basic tests for football, the core lifts and vertical jump, standing long jump, pro agility shuttle and the BFS dot drill. If an athlete achieves a certain standard in one of those tsts, I buy them a steak dinner. The standards include the following: bench press, 400; squat, 500; power clean, 325; poer jerk, 315; hex bar deadlift, 650; long jump, 10 feet; vertical jump, 36 inches; pro agility, 4.7 for offensive linemen and 4.2 for all others; and the dot drill, 4.5 seconds for linemen and 4.0 seconds for everyone else.  During spring ball I invite the winners over to my house for a big shindig o steak dinners. I expect to see more than 30 athletes this year. <br>One athlete who has consumed a lot of VanDeZande s steaks is free safety Nick Daniken, who is entering his senior year at SOU. At -11 and 205 pounds, Daniken overcame a serious back injury from a car accident in high school o lead the Raiders with 80 total tackles, 37 of them solo. With a 4.54 forty and a 520 squat, Daniken is sure o catch he eye of pro scouts who often viit SOU.<br>VanDeZande s advice to future strength coaches is straight to the point:  Get into the BFS system---no question. When I look at many of the teams we ve hammered despite their superior talent and facilities, it s obvious that if they were doing what they should be doing they would beat us, says VanDeZande.  Also, I would avise young coaches to be open to learning from other coaches and to set high standards. <br>Although his success has afforded him many opportunities to move to larger schools, VanDeZande is very content here.  Southern Oregon Univrsity is awesome. Coach Olson is a person of tremendous integrity who has instilled an amazing level of class in this program. As for the Oregon countryside and geography, this is a wonderful place to be. <br><br>You might even say it s perfect.@ݫP!Qp-WqkBEn,mdjF#ae&0|c$JnP:l~}UzlD#C4-Boj1E {qGl7ciL=baU/QƣDh( d ( A!u\3#mxk٣.\3DEFec&;D>Gul"CP2rjõ y0A gcy@C6y. 5.ۓ#ͱ *\w5 w,.J,̱ RŅѺmseP4Pܣ,obcM*'"͞I(lthcYBleD]hOOh]|dhpi'TD"Yc%!4#ۧ!V]|عN*8Exbicrؖ~Ur |\k zOT͗".t291ٶFN=܈20 2JA`x+=[C-*5n֎ίX@GTJvXxggǰ{&ӭ*L\ [,A dRӢƣC0as`rTp+斐@ t@~%hT )V_GSѷgs"tJP,qutc;t5B>Lus<Ǫ*QY9] }HՐ#jSxϗ>D*u6F"lґh?LX+t_WkSo*69dq9PmuSfe$͑)g$vw~ɏ xq1QΠG8ȍoЧ~2ˉq9Z.632'J<: 6a]1FM)3n](пoHBGaSy1$YVV3PDRt 'x^0Mu+[P>J ?towK0MH922-Y}ϳJfŚ8A%#X8V/OTRio"DYO@޵~3*f 0nxMnmpq} 󔘰;,qB_g_=Na|>-Q tܟZlS2;;sei1rXxHTI 1T1UeV&dhQFH5N4g4bH3Pۈ#7уR,=,,xGUZ#7@koG"ۀMOU/ע<+p!WJv23 5FS{m5 y`uNp$3&Y9eG㡞LOm$Mi5i<-\|  #Ca\ XT?=p% !
