re: Steve Kragthorpe stepping down as OC due to health issue

Before everyone jumps off the deep end, please read the below from Studrawa's bio when he was the offensive coordinator for Bowling Green. Also Kragthorpe will coach the QB's I hope his health remains good for his family's sake, but dont panic about the tigers.


Studrawa was a nominee for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top assistant coach, in 2004. Last year, the Falcons finished second in the MAC in rushing and center Kory Lichtensteiger was named first-team All-MAC.

In 2005, he oversaw an offense which finished second in the league in passing (283.9) and scoring (33.8) and was third in the league in pass efficiency (142.4). They ranked 17th, 18th and 21st nationally in those respective categories.

Individually, he saw four of his players including quarterback Omar Jacobs, offensive linemen Derrick Markray and Lichtensteiger and wide receiver Charles Sharon earn second-team All-MAC honors. Jacobs, Sharon and running back P.J. Pope also ended their careers among the top performers at their position in BGSU history. Pope was invited to play in the Hula Bowl and Jacobs (O'Brien Award) and Sharon (Biletnikoff Award) were semifinalists for national honors at their respective positions.




In 2004, BGSU finished second nationally in total offense with a MAC record 506.3 yards per game and were third in passing (338.3) and turnover margin (1.25), and fourth in in pass efficiency (165.5) and scoring offense (44.3, also a MAC record).

The Falcon offense had four games of 50 points or more and averaged 49.4 ppg. over its last nine games in 2004. He saw Omar Jacobs named the MAC Offensive Player of the Year after leading the nation in TD passes with a MAC record 41 and in points responsible for at 22.5 points per game. In addition, Jacobs was second in the nation in passing (33.5) and total offense (358.5) and his 41 TD to 4 interception passing ratio was an NCAA record Running back P.J. Pope was also fourth in the nation in scoring (10.5 ppg.) and wide receiver Charles Sharon set a BGSU record with 15 TD receptions.

Studrawa also guided an offensive line that allowed a league-low 11 sacks. Three members of that interior line were named All-MAC, including left tackle Rob Warren (first team), center Scott Mruczkowski (second team) and left guard Kory Lichtensteiger (second team). They were joined by Jacobs (first team) and Pope (second team) on the All-MAC squad. Jacobs also earned All-American honors and Lichtensteiger was named Freshman All-American. Mruczkowski also played in the East/West Shrine game.

In 2003, BGSU ranked third in the country in total offense, 11th in passing, 14th in pass efficiency and 18th in rushing. Studrawa and the Falcons saw quarterback Josh Harris earn All-American honors and watched running back P.J. Pope and center Scott Mruczkowski earn first-team All-MAC accolades. In addition, the Falcons broke six team offensive records in 2003 and four more individual single-season marks.
