Trempe on GMAC Bowl, Schuler
On Friday morning, Myles Trempe and the 12-1 Ball State University football team will leave for Mobile, Ala. where they’ll face Tulsa (10-3) in the GMAC Bowl on Jan. 6 on ESPN.
“I’m excited,” said Trempe, a Graham grad. “I’ve heard it’s a very player-friendly bowl game. Mobile’s a great city. It should be a lot of fun.”
Trempe, a 6-5 redshirt sophomore receiver, has caught 14 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns for the Cardinals this season.
Trempe knows it will be a tough game against Tulsa, which beat another MAC opponent, Bowling Green, 63-7 in last year’s GMAC Bowl.
“Tulsa’s going to be a very tough opponent,” Trempe said. “They’re first or second in the nation in points. It’s going to be a shootout.”
They’ll also be playing with a new head coach. Cardinals offensive coordinator Stan Parrish took over the team after Brady Hoke left to coach San Diego State.
“It’s part of the business,” Trempe said. “We’re happy to have Coach Parrish. He was a big part of our success. He’ll do a great job with the whole team now.”
Three years ago, Trempe was a three-sport athlete at Graham. On the basketball floor, Trempe finished his career as the all-time leader in points (1,186), rebounds (705), field goals made (465) and field goal attempted (1,162).
But one of those records has been broken. The career points mark now belongs to Graham senior Josh Schuler, who has 1,239 career points. Schuler scored 41 against Indian Lake on Dec. 27.
“It’s great,” Trempe said. “Records are meant to be broken. He’s tough. He’s very deserving of it. He’s a really good player.”
Trempe and Schuler were teammates during the 2005-2006 season when Trempe was a senior. But he always knew Schuler, who will play at Division I North Dakota, would be a great player.
“Coach Cupps always had me work summer camps with the boys basketball program,” Trempe said. “I remember seeing him in seventh and eighth grade. He’s so basketball-smart and I knew he was going to be a scorer. I knew my record wouldn’t last too long.”
