University of Alberta graduate and Edmonton Eskimo Wall of Honour Member Chris Morris was named the new head football coach of the Golden Bears. "The set of circumstances that exist here at the University of Alberta is what is really appealing to me," said Morris. "There really is a wealth of talent in Northern Alberta, and a tremendous opportunity to develop the sport of football in the city and province with the Golden Bears program. Ive had the pleasure of coaching in the high school ranks for the past five years, so Ive seen the talent, and know that there is a huge opportunity for the Golden Bears football program to become successful. Im excited to empower others, to work with people and football organizations to turn this program around and into something that the university deserves and can be proud of." Morris, originally from Scarborough, Ont., takes over a program that hasnt won a Canada West conference title since 1981, and has missed the playoffs in seven of the past 12 seasons while putting together a record of 38-58 (.395), including 0-8 in 2012. "Sometimes people over complicate success, but what Ive found, in every phase of my life, is that success comes down to out-working the people youre in competition with. And I dont mean the players have to work harder, because it really starts from the top and moves down. If this program is going to become the top program in CIS, then as the head coach of this program, I have to out-work every other CIS head coach. One of the most important jobs Ill have as head coach is to set the standard, to be the example. Once Ive done that, then I have to put people in place who can have their hard work pay off so we can be successful together." He is a two-time CIS all-Canadian while playing for the University of Toronto Varsity Blues, and he won the J.P. Metras Trophy as the most outstanding down lineman in the country in 1990. He also played in the East-West Shrine Bowl before getting drafted in the first round (8th overall) of the 1992 Canadian Football League draft by the Edmonton Eskimos. He started in his rookie season, and played an additional 14 seasons, or 237 games for the Eskimos. He was a team captain, and he played in five Grey Cup games with the Esks, winning three and was given a plaque on the Eskimos Wall of Honour in Commonwealth Stadium in 2008.

San Jose had to withstand an 89th-minute goal from Hernan Pertuz and a missed penalty kick in the 94th minute by Jair Benitez. The Earthquakes (13-4-4) widened their lead in the Supporters Shield race to seven points clear of Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City. San Jose is unbeaten at home in Buck Shaw Stadium since Aug. 13, an 8-0-3 run. FC Dallas (4-10-7) ended a 13-match winless streak Saturday, but couldnt continue its momentum, despite the debut of newly acquired designated player Julian de Guzman, traded last week by Toronto FC. Chavez, who was dealt to San Jose from Dallas in the off-season for allocation money, struck from the edge of the penalty box in the 12th minute, ripping a well-placed shot to the far post off a skidding cross by Shea Salinas. Gordon doubled San Joses advantage with a headerr in the 45th minute, also beating Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman to the back post.dddddddddddd Benitez started the play with a poor pass that led to a turnover deep in Dallas third of the field. San Jose made three passes through the midfield before the ball reached Sam Cronin, whose looping pass from 35 yards found the loosely marked Gordon. Chris Wondolowski, MLS leading scorer, appeared to strike for his 18th goal of the season on a 61st-minute penalty brought about by Brek Sheas clear hand ball in Dallas box. But San Jose was called for encroachment on Wondolowskis successful first attempt, and Hartman dove to his left to save the redo. Pertuz got Dallas within a goal on a flying header, but Benitez gave away a chance to steal a road point after Zach Loyd was bundled over by San Jose midfielder Simon Dawkins in second-half injury time. With Brek Shea, Dallas usual penalty-kick taker, having been subbed off, Benitez stepped up to the spot and flashed his attempt just above the crossbar. ' ' '
