Lewisburg's Todd Tilford Is Next Guest at
Susquehanna's QB Club Luncheon
SELINSGROVE, Pa. — Lewisburg Area High School head football coach Todd Tilford is the next guest speaker at Susquehanna University football's weekly Quarterback Club meeting, to be held on Friday, Sept. 19, at 12 p.m.
Tilford has been at the helm of the Green Dragons since 2006.
The Quarterback Club is a luncheon that takes place Fridays from 12–1 p.m. during Susquehanna University football season in the Apple Community Room of the university's James W. Garrett Sports Complex in Selinsgrove, Pa. An exception will be Oct. 24 this year because Susquehanna does not play on Oct. 25. Otherwise, the event will happen every Friday during the season whether the team is playing at home or away.
Two mistakes were made in the first announcing of the QB Club. To clarify: the weekly cost for admission and lunch is $8.50. A yearly membership to the QB Club is $40. That amount does NOT include the weekly fee for lunch. QB Club members receive season tickets in a special seating section and admission to the club's annual postseason awards banquet.
This week's Gus Weber Crusader Football Player of the Week, sponsored this year by Jeff Edmunds, attorney-at-law, and the law firm Carpenter & Carpenter, who will present $100 to the Player of the Week's favorite charity is another Great Valley High School alumnus — sophomore punter/placekicker Bobby Eppleman (Malvern, Pa.) [Junior linebacker Pete Johnsen (Malvern, Pa.) was last week's honoree.]
Eppleman, an All–America candidate, was honored as the Liberty League's football Special Teams Player of the Week on Sept. 15. He
punted the ball four times for an average of 52.0 yards, including a school-record 73-yard punt in the second quarter, and pinned Juniata College inside its own 10-yard line twice in Susquehanna University's 10–3 win over the Eagles on Sept. 13. He also made good on his lone extra-point attempt in the game and made one of two field goal tries. His lone miss was blocked. Eppleman's solo tackle on a kickoff return also saved a touchdown.
The Crusader Football Player of the Week award is named in honor of the late Gustave Weber, who was Susquehanna's president from 1959 to 1977.
Susquehanna head football coach Steve Briggs and his staff will speak, show a highlight film and introduce Eppleman, who will also speak. SU's director of athletics communications Robert Healy, III will act as emcee and will give a synopsis of the past week in Crusaders athletics.
