Since 2005, Mills and the Buccaneers are the winningest coach and program in the Big South Conference, while also having faced the most FBS opponents during the same stretch. Mills helped lead the Buccaneers to the nation’s second-longest winning streak at 14 games stretching over the 2005 and 2006 seasons, garnering their first national ranking in school history. Honored with the All-American Football Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002, Mills was named the 2005 Big South Conference Coach of the Year, and the 2005 Buccaneers were named the “Team of the Year” by collegesports.com.

Under his direction, CSU quarterback Collin Drafts became the school’s all-time leading passer and all-time leader in total offense in only three seasons. The 2009 squad was also named the Big South Sportsmanship Award winner. Mills is recognized nationally as a top offensive mind, having operated highly successful passing offenses at Harvard and Boise State University prior to becoming CSU’s head coach. Mills served as the Crimson’s quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for seven seasons, leading the school to high national rankings for total offense and establishing numerous school records. In 2001, Harvard committed the fewest turnovers of any Division I-AA school and ranked 11th nationally in total offense. In 2000, Harvard set school records for passing yards (2,885) and total yards (4,679). During those two seasons, eight offensive players Follow Coach Mills at: www.twitter.com/CoachJMills earned All Ivy League honors. After serving three seasons as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame, one year under former South Carolina head coach Lou Holtz, Mills was named quarterbacks and passing game coordinator at Boise State. Mills helped guide Boise State to a pair of NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances, including a berth in the national semifinal game in 1990. Boise State was ranked second nationally in total offense in 1987. Mills’ experience as a head coach came at the University of Minnesota Morris, where he helped lead the program from NAIA status to NCAA Division II status in 1993.

2010 Season Outlook
Schedule: For the third straight year, Charleston Southern will face off against a pair of Division I FBS programs in addition to going through the grind of the Big South Conference. Since 2005, the Bucs have faced more FBS opponents than any other Big South school, all while posting the best winning percentage during that time. In 2010, Charleston Southern will return to Hawai’i, fulfilling the contract between the two schools that was started in 2007. It is the second trip to the islands for CSU, and the second meeting in program history. The Bucs will also face off against an SEC opponent for the second year in a row, traveling to Kentucky for the first-ever matchup against the Wildcats. With flights to Hawai’i, Kentucky and Stony Brook, it will be the first time in school history that CSU will take a plane to more road games than a bus. A first in 2010, CSU will play its first three games at home, something that has never happened in the history of the program, facing former CSU assistant Jamey Chadwell and North Greenville for the season-opener. “After concluding the 2009 season with four consecutive victories, the 2010 Buccaneers enter this season with high expectations,” said Coach Jay Mills. “A large senior class will be relied upon to provide the leadership necessary to achieve these lofty goals. The first ever automatic berth to the FCS playoffs for the Big South Conference champion provides additional motivation for the team and assures the most competitive year in League play to date.” Offense: “Until last fall, our offense had primarily been one dimensional in nature. This year’s offense has the potential to pick up where we left off being equally proficient on the ground and through the air. The development of newcomers at the tight end and running back positions, as well as ball security, will be vital to this end,” said Mills. A leader throughout the season, A.J. Toscano (R-Sr., 6-1, 211) will again look to direct the offense, entering the season as the starter. If he is going to have the job, he will have to fend off the team’s most improved quarterback in Andrew Trudnowski (Sr., 6-4, 212), who saw limited action last season. Former Mr. Football for South Carolina Richard Mounce (So., 6-1, 205), who transferred to CSU after pursuing baseball at Clemson, as well as transfer from Arkansas, Derek Hatcher (R-Fr., 6-1, 180) will also push for time at quarterback. Three starters return on the offensive line, a unit that proved to be vital to the success of the team last year. The Bucs rushed for the second-highest total in school history and surrendered just nine sacks all year, while facing future NFL defensive linemen such as Carlos Dunlap (Florida), George Selvie (South Florida) and Jason Pierre-Paul (South Florida). All five projected starters, including most-improved offensive lineman Nick Kemper (R-So., 6-2, 280) saw action last year. Levi McFatter (R-Jr., 6-4, 291) and Jordan Lancaster (R-Sr., 6-3, 290) will anchor the left side of the line, while B.J. Baker (R-So., 6-5, 298) and James Nicholson (R-So., 6-4, 295) will hold down the right side. Kayson Wharton (R-Jr., 6-1, 295), Jeff Hartung (Fr., 6-3, 280), Cody Day (R-Fr., 6-5, 281) and Austin Spears (R-Fr., 6-5, 281) will also battle for time. One of the biggest question marks offensively will be the tight end position, having graduated Tyrese Harris and Clayton Coffman. Josh Atkinson (R-Sr., 6-5, 250) comes out of spring ball as the starter, while Mike Deterlizzi (R-Fr., 6-2, 226) and transfer Carson Leshin (Jr., 6-4, 255) will battle for the position as well. Gerald Stevenson (Sr., 5-9, 162) and Kwame Krakue (R-Sr., 5-10, 178), both All-Big South selections a year ago, will highlight what should again be an outstanding cast of wide receivers. Deon Lee (Sr., 6-1, 195) will have an increased role in 2010 having earned most improved wide receiver laurels in spring practice, while starter Anthony Chalmers (So., 6-2, 195) will also return for 2010. Darius Wynn (R-Fr., 5-9, 170) and Estevan Cintron (R-Fr., 5-9, 160), who had an outstanding spring game (94 yards of offense), will also factor in the mix. In 2010, CSU will have perhaps one of the best rushing attacks in school history, having come up just shy of the school record last year. DeMarcus Moon (Sr., 5-10, 197) returns with the expectation of seeing the bulk of the carries after

being named the most improved running back during spring practice. A healthy B.J. Hackworth (R-Jr., 6-0, 240) provides a power threat that will hopefully help the Bucs improve on their 14 rushing touchdowns from a year ago. Three talented freshmen, Teddy Allen (5-11, 214), Savon Seward (5-4, 155) and Keelyan Bryant (5-9, 180), will have the potential to have an immediate impact as well. Defense: “‘Defense by committee’ might be the best way to describe this unit,” said Mills. “Competition for playing time should sharpen execution at all positions, while enabling the defense as a whole to stay fresh. The opportunity to face a variety of offensive styles this fall will make the defense’s task exciting and challenging.” All-Conference selection Joel Walton (Sr., 6-1, 235) will anchor the defensive line along with David Jackson (R-Sr., 6-2, 235). The pair of seniors will provide the most experience, but will be joined by veterans C.J. Lee (R-Sr., 6-1, 247), Matt Woods (R-Jr., 6-3, 260) and Cornelius Sterling (R-So., 6-0, 235). Coril Joseph (R-Fr., 6-1, 288), Delvon King (So., 5-11, 240), Will Hunt (R-Fr., 6-4, 245) and JuCo transfer Jacque Carter (Jr., 6-3, 250) will factor into the mix as well in their first season of competition. There is, as always, plenty of depth at linebacker, including Fred Godfrey (R-Sr., 5-11, 225), who is the leading returning tackler, having recorded 67 stops last year. Chris Patrick (R-Sr., 6-0, 218) will also return after posting 64 tackles a year ago. Brad Sweatt (So., 6-1, 225), Logan Cobell (RJr., 5-11, 218) and L.B. Cravey (R-Sr., 6-0, 200), who was named the most improved linebacker and the 2010 Edward A. Gadson Memorial Scholarship recipient, will each return with expectations of seeing additional action this season. All-Big South selection Chris Kuzdale (Jr., 5-11, 200) will return to lead the defensive backs, having recorded 64 tackles last year, the most among defensive backs. Jacques Bazile (Sr., 5-9, 170) will anchor one corner position, and is expected to fight for all-conference honors in his senior season. After outstanding rookie campaigns, Kenny Johnson (So., 5-6, 150) and Charles James (R-So., 5-10, 175) also return, both of whom will see plenty of playing time. Steven Lewis (R-Jr., 5-9, 191) and Jordan Fulford (R-Fr., 5-9, 180) will also battle for snaps along with JuCo transfers O’Brian Campbell (Jr., 6-0, 203) and Daniel Dieudonne (Jr., 6-3, 212). Special Teams: “We have shown steady improvement in this phase over the past two years and that improvement must continue this season,” said Mills. “A number of individuals return with experience which should provide that capability. Replacing all-conference long snapper Andrew McKain will be a special emphasis during fall camp. Consistency in this unit, as well as the others, will be stressed.” Mills has always put an emphasis on special teams, and has to be happy about not losing anyone but the long snapper from last year’s squad. John Paglia (Sr., 6-1, 197), who set the school record for field goals made in a season (16) last year, returns as the team’s leading place kicker. Andy Brown (Jr., 6-1, 181) will serve as the backup, and also the starting punter, having averaged 35.5 yards per kick last season. Josh Atkinson (R-Sr., 6-5, 250) will serve as both the short snapper and long snapper, while Chris Kuzdale (Jr., 5-11, 184) returns to his holding duties. Gerald Stevenson (Sr., 5-9, 162) will move to a reserve role on kickoffs, but will serve as the starting punt returner as he continues to battle for the Big South record for combined kick off and punt return yardage. After returning the opening kick off against Stony Brook back for a touchdown and averaging 28.4 yards per return, Deon Lee (Sr., 6-1, 200) will serve as the starting kick returner, while Estevan Cintron (R-Fr., 5-9, 160) will serve as the backup punt returner.

Scoring Summary: 1st Quarter GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The defending BCS National Champions and preseason 11:05 UF Demps 8 yd run (Phillips kick), 4-89 1:26 #1 pick Florida Gators showed why they have earned such accolades, taking a 04:34 UF Rainey 76 yd run (Phillips kick), 1-76 0:13 62-3 victory over Charleston Southern in the first game of the season for both programs. CSU has now dropped its last three season-openers, two of which have come at the hands of FBS programs (Miami, 2008). “We hope to glorify God in all that we do, and I think we did that this weekend,” said Mills. “The scoreboard is just one measure of success, and even though we were on the short end of that, we felt like a lot of good things came out of this game. We came close to achieving a lot of things that we wanted to offensively, although we are obviously disappointed we couldn’t get in the end zone.” Despite putting just three points on the board against the 11 returning starters on the Florida defense, CSU was able to move the ball, gaining 206 yards in the first half, including 170 through the air. Going one play shy of three quarters of the game, A.J. Toscano finished 18-31 through the air for 152 yards with one interception. He also rushed six times, gaining 20 yards. Andrew Trudnowski played the fourth quarter, going 9-17 for 45 yards. Alex Neal was the favorite target, catching seven passes for 45 yards, while Kwame Krakue hauled in six passes for 63 yards. Gerald Stevenson and B.J. Hackworth each carried the ball for a team-best 21 yards. The CSU offense was able to gain 18 first downs, and 323 total yards against what both Mills and Toscano called one of the best defenses in the nation. CSU also dominated the time of possession, holding the ball for a combined 23:00 in the first and fourth quarters alone, finishing the game with control of the ball for 37:34. “Our team had a lot of fun playing this game,” said Toscano, who saw action in the second game of his CSU career. “We never want to lose, but our offense will come out of this game very confident. We moved the ball against one of, if not the best defenses in the country. This was a great experience for a lot of guys, including me, who had never been involved in a game of this magnitude.” 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow finished the game 10-15 for 188 yards and one touchdown, averaging 12.5 yards per throw. He only carried the ball twice for one yard and a touchdown. The big-play Gator offense used 19 plays of 20 yards or more to tally up 624 yards of offense. They also had an 85yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Matt Bach led the defensive unit with five tackles for CSU. Jacques Bazile and Cornelius Sterling each chimed in with four stops, while Antonio Brown had the lone tackle behind the line of scrimmage. Andy Brown finished the game with eight punts for an average of 37.8 yards, while John Paglia averaged 60 yards per kickoff, adding a 38-yard field goal. Although crowd noise proved to be a factor in the game, Toscano did not let it get to him as he completed his first pass of the game to Stevenson for an 11 yard game and a first down. After an end-around to Stevenson for another six yards, Moon made it third-and-one with a three yard scamper. The Bucs couldn’t convert, though, as they had to send on the punt team to pin Florida deep. The tactic worked temporarily as the Gators took over on the 11 yardline. The ever-potent UF offense got a huge chunk back on the first big play of the game, going 68 yards to Riley Cooper, setting up an eight-yard run from Jeffrey Demps for the game’s opening score. The Demps score finished off a fourplay, 89-yard drive as he got in with 11:05 left in the first quarter. It is the third time in as many years that CSU has allowed a touchdown on the opponent’s first possession of the season, with Miami scoring early in the game to start the 2008 campaign and The Citadel doing so in 2007.

September 12, 2009 Gibbs Stadium :: Spartanburg, S.C.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Mistakes proved costly for Charleston Southern (0-2) as they turned the ball over three times and were flagged for six penalties in a 42-14 loss to Wofford (1-1), Saturday night at Gibbs Stadium. Similar to last year, the Bucs faced the Terriers in between a pair of FBS opponents. CSU will travel next week to South Florida, while Wofford will head north to Wisconsin. With 323 yards of offense last week against Florida, CSU fell just shy of the 300-mark (280), but showed a much more balanced offense with 113 yards on the ground and 167 through the air. “We are disappointed in the way we came out,” said Coach Jay Mills. “We felt like this was an opportunity to come out against the 14th-ranked team in the country and earn some respect and instead we let ourselves down in some key moments. I think we felt a little too good about ourselves after last week’s game.” Starting quarterback A.J. Toscano finished the game 15-24 with one touchdown and one interception, while Andrew Trudnowski came in for the final drive of the game, completing two of his four pass attempts for 19 yards. After setting a career high with six receptions against Florida, Kwame Krakue followed it up with six more today to lead the receiving corps with 61 yards. Gerald Stevenson, who caught three passes including the only touchdown pass on the day, finished with 22 yards. Stevenson, Antwan Ivey and DeMarcus Moon all finished with 34 yards rushing for CSU, with Ivey garnering the bulk of the carries with 12. Defensively, Chris Kuzdale led the way with 9 stops while Andrew McKain had seven stops, including six solo tackles. For Wofford, Mitch Allen finished 4-for-9 for 68 yards and a touchdown as the stats were dominated by the rushing attack of the Terriers. Mike Rucker had 102 yards on the ground while Allen added 93. Wofford finished with 394 yards on the ground and 469 total yards of offense. The tough decisions came early for CSU as they were faced with a fourth down and less than a yard on the game’s opening drive. Mills and his staff elected to punt it away, with Andy Brown booming a career-long 59-yard punt. A total of 12 plays and 72 yards later, Wofford put the ball in the end zone on a one-yard run from Eric Breitenstein. The CSU defense had a couple of opportunities to get off the field, forcing two third downs, including a third and 11 that was converted on a 33-yard run as Allen called his own number on the option. Penalties and the first fumble of the season cut the second CSU drive short as Wofford took back over on the CSU 24 yard line, easily punching it in on four plays to take a 14-0 lead. CSU, which turned the ball over just one time last week against Florida, committed its second turnover of the game, as Toscano’s pass was intercepted by Phillip LeGrande and returned near midfield. A 35-yard run by Allen widened the gap to 21-0. Finally the Bucs found an answer, with Toscano completing four-of-five pass attempts, coupled with a solid rushing attach from Ivey, Moon and Stevenson for a 17-play, 80-yard drive.

South Florida 59 September 9, 2009 Raymond James Stadium :: Tampa, Fla.
TAMPA, Fla. – On the road for the third game in a row and facing an FBS opponent for the second time this season, Charleston Southern fell 59-0 to South Florida, Saturday at Raymond James Stadium in front of 38,798 people. With the loss, CSU starts 0-3 for the second year in a row, but will look to right the ship against former Buccaneer assistant Jamey Chadwell and the North Greenville Crusaders as they return home next weekend for their home-opener. Last year the Bucs faced an 0-3 record but won seven of their last nine games to end the year. USF improved to 3-0 with the victory. “USF is obviously an excellent football team,” said Coach Jay Mills. “We expect them to contend for the Big East title and play in a major bowl game. That said, I think a lot of our wounds tonight were self inflicted, but they are correctable. Some of that had to do with playing a really good football team, some of it had to do with crowd noise and a number of things occurred because we didn’t execute to the best of our ability. I felt like our effort was good, I liked that ‘look in their eyes’ so-to-speak. I know we have the coaching staff and the players to correct the things that we need to correct.” CSU had 188 yards of total offense for the game but was shut out for the first time since a 42-0 loss to Liberty on Oct. 25, 2008. A.J. Toscano finished the game 13-24 with one interception and 127 yards. It is his third-straight game with at least 120 passing yards. Kwame Krakue looked as if he was on pace to tie his career high six catches for the third time this year after catching three passes for 43 yards in the first half, but was kept without a touch in the final two quarters. Antwan Ivey led CSU in the rushing and receiving category with six catches for 34 yards, adding 20 yards on eight carries. For the second game this year (Florida), the offensive line did not surrender a sack. Fred Godfrey and Andrew McKain tied for game-high honors with seven tackles each. James Antaplyan had one tackle-for-loss, while Ryan Ard and Jacques Bazile combined for another. Backup quarterback B.J. Daniels tied starter Matt Grothe with 149 passing yards, and was the leading rusher with 105 yards on eight carries to lead the Bulls in that category. Daniels was 10-13 passing and accounted for three touchdowns (one passing, two rushing). Special teams’ miscues and unforced errors put the Bucs in a hole early as they took on their second FBS school of the season. A fumble on the second play from scrimmage led to an early touchdown by the Bulls, while a 75-yard blocked field goal return went back for the third USF score in the first quarter. A 27-yard pass to Stevenson set up the field goal attempt, and tied the longest pass play of the year for CSU. A blocked punt on the final drive of the first quarter led to another scoring drive for USF, putting them up 28-0. CSU did record 73 yards of offense in the first quarter alone, but could not find the scoreboard. Finally the Bucs hoped the momentum was shifting as a touchdown-scoring fake field goal by USF was called back for an illegal formation. The result of the penalty was a missed 34-yard field goal attempt by Delbe Alvarado. Penalties again stalled the CSU drive, and on the ensuing possession, without Grothe, their starting QB, the Bulls hit their second 50-yard touchdown pass of the game to go up 35-0 with just 0:44 left in the first half. CSU had 122 yards of offense in the first half, with 98 of those coming through the air. The Bulls, meanwhile, tallied 273 yards with 22 passing yards.

September 26, 2009 Buccaneer Field :: Charleston, S.C.
CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Charleston Southern defense put on a show as they allowed North Greenville just 90 yards of total offense in a 34-0 victory, Saturday, in the Bucs’ home opener. “There’s no question that we’re happy to come away with a win,” said Head Coach Jay Mills. “This job is very labor-intensive, and you work just as hard whether you come out on top or on bottom, so it’s definitely very gratifying to finish on top.” CSU (1-3) got in the backfield a season-high 10 times, with Chris Patrick and Fred Godfrey leading the way, each with 2.5 tackles-for-loss. Patrick led the squad with nine total tackles, along with one sack and a forced fumble, while Godfrey finished with seven stops. The NGU offense never really posed a threat to ruin the first shut out for CSU since the 2008 season-finale against Coastal Carolina, as they failed to get inside the CSU 35 yardline. Although the defense stole the headlines with a shut out, the offense tallied 516 yards with a balanced offense, the first time they’ve topped 500 yards since doing so against North Greenville on Sept. 29, 2007. A total of 12 people carried the ball for 267 yards on the ground, led by a 56-yard touchdown carry by Gerald Stevenson, who finished the day with 86 yards on the ground and another 114 on eight receptions. Antwan Ivey got the bulk of the carries with 15, amassing 75 yards and a touchdown. The 267 rushing yards mark the first time CSU has reached 200 yards since running for 272 against Savannah State on Oct. 6, 2007. “Our ground attack has really been improving, and we felt like once we got on a more level playing field that those improvements would show up,” said Mills. “I’ve always felt like this team had great potential to be balanced in both the running and passing games and that was evident today.” A.J. Toscano passed for 235 yards, a career best, and had one touchdown toss on a 62-yard connection to Kwame Krakue. The Bucs never punted, scoring on six of their 10 drives, the first time since Nov. 6, 2004, against Allen, that CSU has not had to kick it away. Richard Harb passed 12 times for North Greenville, completing five of them for 20 yards, while a fake punt from Justin Jones accounted for the other 20 yards through the air for the Crusaders. Despite a 16-play, 92-yard drive on their first possession of the game, the Buccaneer offense stalled inside the five, settling for a 21-yard field goal from Paglia, who was a perfect two-for-two on the day. A punt block gave CSU the ball back with 2:08 left in the first, but a tipped pass at the goal line led to an interception by Josh Murph and gave it right back to NGU on their own two yardline. The defense came up big and held the Crusaders inside the five, leading to good field position for Toscano and the offensive unit. It took the Bucs just nine plays to go 48 yards, with Ivey punching it in from two-yards out to give CSU a 10-0 lead. The Bucs would add one more touchdown before halftime with big plays. Toscano found Stevenson for 20 yards down the left sideline and then went to the opposite side, hooking up with Krakue for 62-yards. Joel Walton earned the sack and forced fumble on the ensuing possession for NGU, but Toscano’s second and final interception of the game came with 39-seconds left in the half as Tyran Melvin picked him off. Neither side of the ball seemed to let up for CSU as they tacked on 17 points in the second half and gave up 37 yards of offense in the third quarter, and just seven yards in the final quarter. Paglia notched his third field goal of the season with a 40-yard boot to cap a nine-play drive to open the third quarter. The defense did their job and got the ball back after just five NGU plays. Toscano, Ivey and Stevenson proved they knew what to do with it as they used six plays to go 35 yards and one more to go the final 56 as Stevenson dashed 56 yards for the score. The final touchdown of the game came on the first drive of the final quarter. After taking over on downs, CSU went 62-yards in eight plays to set up a DeMarcus Moon three-yard touchdown run, making it 34-0.

Scoring Summary: 1st Quarter CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Charleston Southern offense posted their second- 9:24 CSU Gerald Stevenson 7 yd run (John Paglia kick) 9-59, 3:59 straight 500-yard performance in a 47-10 rout of Savannah State, Saturday at 5:30 CSU Gerald Stevenson 17 yd run (John Paglia kick) 5-80, 1:46 Buccaneer Field. The win was the sixth all-time against SSU, keeping the Bucs’ undefeated in the series. Charleston Southern (2-3) finished off their nonconference slate in style as they jumped out to a 33-7 lead in the first half to cruise to their second-straight victory, with both wins coming at home. Savannah State fell to 1-4 on the season after surrendering the most yards they have given up this season, topping the 489-yards put up by #9 McNeese State. A.J. Toscano continued to improve as a quarterback for the Bucs, completing 80 percent of his passes (21-26) for 230 yards, five yards shy of the careerbest he set last week against North Greenville. He also rushed for a career-high 78 yards and was the leading rusher for CSU. “A.J. is a dual-threat,” said Mills “He is an outstanding quarterback and above that, an outstanding person. He’d be the first to tell you that he couldn’t do it without the people around him, the protection and the backs and receivers.” Toscano did have plenty of help, including Gerald Stevenson, who tied his career high with eight passes for 91 yards, while adding two touchdowns on six carries for 49 yards. Alex Neal had four receptions for 68 yards while Tyrese Harris, Mike Jefferson and Anthony Chalmers each caught a touchdown pass. A total of 10 people recorded at least one carry as CSU topped 200 yards on the ground and rushed for three touchdowns for the second time this year. CSU’s Chris Kuzdale led the defense with six tackles and one interception. Shawn King also picked off a pass as the Bucs got their first two interceptions of the season. Joel Walton had the lone sack on the day for CSU, while Chris Reed and Channing Welch combined for the SSU sack. Chris Asbury led SSU with a game-high 11 tackles. The Bucs scored on seven of their first eight drives with a fumble on the one yard line ending the other drive. It was until the third quarter that CSU was forced to punt the ball away. After giving up the ball on the SSU one, CSU earned it back with a blocked punt, the second in as many games. “That was a great individual effort on the part of Anthony Velez,” said Head Coach Jay Mills. “We actually didn’t call for the block on that play.” The block by Velez set up a three-yard pass to Chalmers, who caught his first-career touchdown pass, making it 20-0 on the first play of the second quarter. CSU gained 195 yards in the first quarter alone, with Toscano completing 7-of-8 passes for 108 yards. Savannah State finally got on the board with a five play, 70-yard drive that included three big plays. A.J. Defilippis started the drive with a 32-yard pass to Deleon Hollinger to move the ball across midfield. Defillippis completed another long pass, this time to Deron Talley for 21 yards before Justin Babb finished the drive with a 16-yard touchdown score. The Tigers would add three more points in the fourth quarter as Derek Williams connected on a 28-yard field goal with 12:10 to go. After King’s interceptions set CSU up inside the 10 yard line, Jefferson used a run and a 6-yard catch from Jordan Belser to make it 47-10.

October 17, 2009 Spangler Stadium :: Boiling Springs, N.C.
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Recent history said it would be a close game, with the last two meetings being decided by four points or less, and Saturday’s game between Gardner-Webb and Charleston Southern proved no different as GWU scored with 22 seconds left to take a 27-20 victory at Spangler Stadium. The Buccaneers (2-4, 0-1) felt good about their chances when they tied the game with less than two minutes to play, but Stan Doolittle led the Runnin’ Bulldogs (4-2, 2-0) on a 78-yard game-winning drive.. “I actually felt like we had the momentum,” said Coach Jay Mills. “We came back after a score with a good kickoff and good coverage and the defense had gotten the last stop. Credit goes to Gardner-Webb, the way they took that ball down the field against our defense.” CSU fell to 0-4 on the road this year, while GWU won their second home game after not having played in Boiling Springs since the season-opener against Mars Hill. The 27 points are the fewest given up in a loss this season for CSU, and the fewest since a 20-19 loss last year on the road at Stony Brook. Two similarly structured teams, both rushing attacks did the most damage, with GWU holding a slight advantage with 204 rushing yards to CSU’s 198. The Bulldogs also held an advantage through the air 184-144. Gerald Stevenson was the leading rusher for CSU with 68 yards on eight carries, an 8.5 yard average. A.J. Toscano completed just 11 of his 33 pass attempts, throwing one touchdown pass and two interceptions. He also rushed for another score. Andrew McKain led the defensive charge for CSU with 13 tackles, while Chris Kuzdale had 11 tackles, including a tackle for loss. He also had one of two forced fumbles. Gardner-Webb had little trouble putting the ball in the end zone on their opening drive, using primarily the rushing attack of Hall and Doolittle to put together a 12-play, 64-yard drive. Hall finished the day with 118 yards on the ground, while Doolittle completed 16-25 passes for 184 yards. Toscano and the CSU offense seemed to have an answer as they methodically put together a 10-play drive to march inside the GWU red zone. As Toscano tried to lob a pass to Clayton Coffman, Marty Patterson reached up and tipped the ball to himself for his first interception of the season. After a GWU field goal late in the first half it was all Charleston Southern as the defense forced two three-and-outs, leading to 13 unanswered points by the Buccaneer offense. A 33-yard pass-and-catch from Toscano to Stevenson set up a 37-yard field goal by John Paglia, his fifth of the season to make it 10-3. CSU got the ball back with 4:55 left in the half and chewed up 4:44 on 16 plays as they marched down the field. On third and goal from the three, Toscano kept it over the left side of the line for the game-tying touchdown, leaving only time for one unsuccessful desperation heave by GWU before the close of the half. On their first drive of the second half, GWU moved the ball into CSU territory, but Chris Kuzdale punched the ball loose from Doolittle, giving it back to CSU on their own 30. Needing 70 yards for a touchdown, the Bucs got 68 of them as a pass from Antwan Ivey fell incomplete on third down. Paglia easily knocked an 18-yard field goal through with 7:04 left in the third to give CSU their first lead of the game, 13-10. A similar drive for GWU left them 10 yards short of the end zone, forcing a 27-yard Gates field goal that tied the game at 13 with under a minute to play in the third quarter. Toscano was picked off for the second time in the game, this time by Darren Rogers, setting up a 21-yard touchdown by Hall to make it 20-13, GWU. A fourth-down stop by the defense midway through the fourth gave the Bucs the ball back with 8:07 to work with. The offense ran the ball down the field, finishing the drive in spectacular fashion with tight end Josh Atkinson pulling in a diving catch from 10 yards out to bring CSU to within one. The team lined up to go for two and the win, forcing GWU to call a defensive time out. For the second time in the game, CSU chose to take a delay of game call to set up an easier angle for Paglia to kick. GWU declined on the 18-yard field goal, but accepted on the extra point attempt, but the extra distance did not faze Paglia as he put it right down the middle to tie the game 20-20 with 1:56 left in the game. “We were fortunate and happy that they burned one of their time outs,” said Mills. “If we had gotten the look that we wanted, we were going to go for two right there and try to win.”

October 24, 2009 Buccaneer Field :: Charleston, S.C.
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Mistakes proved costly for the Charleston Southern Buccaneers as they fell, 20-13, to No. 23 Liberty, Saturday afternoon at CSU Stadium. The Bucs (2-5, 0-2 Big South Conference) turned the ball over twice, leading to ten Liberty (5-2, 2-0 BSC) points, and failed to convert on two of their five red zone opportunities. The game ended when CSU A.J. Toscano missed Tim Jones on a 3rd and 10 pass from the Liberty 18 that, combined with an extra point, would have tied the game. Toscano finished the day 12-of-28 for 156 yards and one touchdown. He threw two interceptions, both of which led to points for Liberty. Flames Tommy Beecher completed 16 of his 20 passes for 93 yards, while back-up Mike Brown tossed a 6-yard touchdown strike to Will Quarles that proved to be the difference in the game. Antwan Ivey, who took snaps at quarterback when the Bucs went to the Wildcat formation in the 4th quarter, finished with a season-high 82 rushing yards, while WR Kwame Krakue caught four passes for 47 yards and CSU’s lone touchdown of the day. Defensively, the Bucs were led by Chris Kuzdale, who tallied a career-high 13 tackles. “We certainly answered the question about whether or not we have what it takes,” CSU Head Coach Jay Mills said after the game. “We just made a couple more errors than they made, and they made a couple of plays more than we did.” The game got off to a rocky start for the Buccaneers, as Toscano was intercepted by Daryl Robertson on the team’s first possession. Four plays later, Matt Bevins connected on a 37-yard field goal to put the Flames up, 3-0. Later in the 1st quarter, Liberty converted another CSU mistake into points. Buccaneer Andy Brown sliced a 12-yard punt off the side of his foot, setting up Liberty on the CSU 22-yard line. But the defense held again, forcing the Flames to try another field goal. This time, Bevins was true from 50 yards out, putting the visitors up, 6-0. Toscano’s second interception set up Liberty’s first touchdown of the game. Early in the 2nd quarter, the CSU signal-caller was picked off by KaJuan Lee, who returned the errant pass to the CSU 1-yard line. On the next play, Aldreakis Allen plunged into the end zone to give the Flames a 13-0 advantage. CSU got on the board later in the 2nd period, when Beecher fumbled a snap that was recovered by Buccaneer Andrew McKain at the Liberty 17. The Bucs were unable to gain a first down, but John Paglia booted a 29-yard field goal, his 7th in a row, to make the score 13-3, Flames. Paglia’s streak was broken on CSU’s next possession. After a nine-play drive stalled on the Liberty 13-yard line, the kicker missed from 30 yards out to keep the score 13-3, where it remained at the half. After Liberty was forced to punt on their first possession of the 3rd quarter, CSU launched a 10-play, 68-yard drive that featured completions of 17 yards to Anthony Chalmers and 18 yards to Gerald Stevenson. But the drive stalled on the Liberty 18yard line, forcing the Bucs to attempt a 35-yard field goal. This time Paglia was true, making the score 13-6. After more solid defensive work, the Bucs got the ball with 14:45 left in the 4th quarter and broke out the Wildcat offensive formation for the first time in 2009. With Ivey taking snaps, the Bucs mounted a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Toscano finding Krakue in the end zone from 11 yards out. The Paglia extra point tied the game up at 13 with 9:01 to go. Ivey carried the ball six times on the drive, for 34 yards, while Deon Lee moved the chains with a 23-yard carry, the longest rush of the game for CSU. “We’ve been playing around with (the Wildcat) in practice for the last five or six weeks, and we decided this is the week we were going to unveil it,” Mills said about the decision to use the formation. “We wanted to do it in the 2nd half so they could not adjust to it at halftime, and then in the 3rd quarter we had the wind, and we couldn’t pass up using that. So it had to be the 4th quarter.” But for the second week in a row, the CSU defense was unable to hold the opponent after a game-tying drive. After a Danny Broggin return set the Flames up at their own 47-yard line, the visitors marched 53 yards on nine plays to take the lead. Brown capped the drive with a 6-yard touchdown toss to Quarles, putting Liberty up, 20-13, with 3:40 to go. The Bucs responded with a 14-play, 72-yard drive of their own that nearly tied the game. Five Toscano completions put the home team inside of the Liberty red zone, but the quarterback’s end zone pass on the game’s final play fell incomplete, allowing the Flames to escape with a victory. The CSU defense held the Flames to just 165 yards of offense, their lowest output of the season to date. “Our defense did a tremendous job against the #1-ranked scoring offense in the Big South,” Mills echoed. “Basically our defense allowed ten points against the best offense in the conference.”

CSU VMI

October 31, 2009 Foster Stadium :: Lexington, Va.
LEXINGTON, Va. – Charleston Southern won the turnover battle and big plays on special teams to get their first road victory of the season, 31-21 over the Virginia Military Institute, Saturday at Foster Stadium. For the first time this season, CSU (3-5, 1-2 Big South) earned an advantage in the turnover battle, forcing a VMI (2-6, 1-3 Big South) fumble and picking off a pass, while only giving the ball up one time. CSU also had a punt return for a touchdown by Antwan Ivey, a blocked punt by Kenny Johnson and a 50-yard kick return from Antwain Harvey that helped in getting the first Big South victory of the season. Offensively, A.J. Toscano appeared to return to form, completing 79 percent of his passes (19-24) for 193 yards. After two-straight games completing less than 50 percent, Toscano had his second most completions and second best completion percentage of the season (21-26, 80 percent against Savannah State). Kwame Krakue was the favorite target, catching six passes for 57 yards to lead the squad in both categories. B.J. Hackworth led the team with 50 yards rushing, including 24 big yards and a touchdown in the waning moments of the game. Antwan Ivey had 11 carries for 24 yards and a touchdown, while Toscano also added a touchdown on the ground. Fred Godfrey and Chris Patrick led the defense with nine stops each, with Patrick recording the lone sack of the day for CSU against the triple-option attack of VMI. The unit recorded seven stops behind the line of scrimmage, with seven different players making a tackles for loss. Big plays dictated the first half, with each team recording touchdowns on plays of 50 yards or more. The CSU offense showed early on that they were going to be aggressive going into a stiff wind as they went for it on two fourth downs. After converting the first on a sneak by Toscano, CSU lined up in the “Wild Buc” formation with Ivey giving the ball to Gerald Stevenson on the second, which came on the VMI 33 yardline. Stevenson finished the game with 12 yards rushing on six carries, and 33 yards through the air. On their second play from scrimmage, VMI went 66 yards with the legs of quarterback Kyle Hughes, putting the Keydets up 7-0 early. Utilizing Ivey and Toscano behind center, CSU put together a 13 play, 90-yard drive to knot the game at 7-7 with 3:31 left in the first quarter. A six yard touchdown run by Toscano capped off the drive that was kept alive by a 22-yard pass to Tim Jones on third and 11 early in the drive. CSU took the lead the first time they touched the ball in the second quarter as Ivey took a punt back 50 yards for a touchdown after spinning away from the initial pack. It was the first punt return for a touchdown since C.J. Hirschman took one back 63 yards against Liberty on Nov. 11, 2006. Another big play for VMI put the Keydets in the end zone again as Howard Abegesah got loose for 46 yards down the left sideline to tie the game at 14. Antwain Harvey turned in another good special teams play with a 50 yard kick return, giving CSU the ball back on the VMI 36 yardline. As they crept inside the red zone, the ball was knocked out of Toscano’s hands, giving VMI a chance to take the lead back. Facing second and goal on the five, Matt Bach popped the ball loose from Michael Rainey-Wiles and returned it 43 yards to the VMI 48. The Bucs used the momentum to drive down and score with :28 on the clock in the first half, giving them the 21-14 advantage at the break. A 73-yard drive tied the game in the third as Abegesah punched it in from six yards out after a nine-play drive. The first snap of the fourth quarter, CSU had a chance to reclaim the lead but John Paglia was wide right on his 33-yard attempt. Paglia had his redemption, giving CSU the lead on an 18-yard field goal midway through the fourth as CSU elected to take the points and the lead instead of going for it on fourth and goal from the one. Andrew McKain got his second interception of his career and the first of the season to give CSU the ball back with the momentum as he picked off Hughes and returned it to the VMI 24 yardline. It took CSU only a pair of 12-yard runs by B.J. Hackworth to get the touchdown, giving CSU a 31-21 lead, the largest lead of the game for either team. A VMI fourth-down conversion attempt was blown up at the line of scrimmage by the CSU defensive line, giving CSU the ball back with 3:25 on the clock as they tried to run out the clock. Without a first down, they were forced to kick it away with 1:43 left, but the defense again proved they were up to the challenge as they forced Hughes out of bounds on fourth down, one-yard shy of the first down, sealing the victory.

November 7, 2009 Bailey Memorial Stadium :: Clinton, S.C.
CLINTON, S.C. - CSU intercepted four passes in the first half en route to a 46-32 victory over Presbyterian College, Saturday at Bailey Memorial Stadium. It was the fourth-straight victory over PC for the Buccaneers. It was the third time in school history that the Bucs have intercepted four passes in a game, and the second time they have done it in a single half, doing so in the second half against Edward Waters on Oct. 14, 2006. Antwain Harvey, Jacques Bazile, Charles James and Fred Godfrey each tallied their first interception of the season. CSU more than doubled their total interceptions for the year, entering the game with three interceptions in eight games. “Turnovers were one of those things that have hindered us all season long,” said Head Coach Jay Mills. “One of the things we did last year in finishing strong was win the turnover battle, and we had not been doing that (this year). Last week was the first week that we won the turnover battle, and this week that was obviously a huge part of the ballgame. We took points off the board for them, and in one case, it directly resulted in points for us.” A.J Toscano finished the game 18-32 with a career-high 290 yards and four touchdowns. He was also the leading rusher with 61 yards and a touchdown, tying the school record for five touchdowns accounted for in a game (Tribble Reese vs. Edward Waters, 2008). It was the third time this year, and the second game in a row that Toscano has not thrown an interception. Gerald Stevenson had 10 receptions for 149 yards and two touchdowns, adding 29 yards on the ground. It was the first time this season that CSU has had a receiver with 10 catches, and the second time in 2009 that Stevenson has topped 100 yards. His 178 all-purpose yards give him 3,973 all-purpose yards for his career and puts him atop the record books in the category. The offensive line helped CSU to 195 rushing yards, and for the fifth time this season did not surrender a sack. The Bucs finished the game with 485 yards on 65 plays, while PC had 530 yards and ran 82 plays. Godfrey and Andrew McKain tied for team-high honors with 10 tackles, while Matt Woods had 2.5 sacks and a pass breakup to cap off a career-day with seven tackles. PC started the game with a 14-play, 70 yard drive to the CSU one yardline. The defense stood up Byrd on the give up the middle to force second down. PC tried to find the tight end on the roll-out, but the play was well defended by the Bucs, forcing quarterback Webb to flip the ball up on a jump ball in the back of the end zone. Harvey out-jumped the PC receiver and had a clear path 100-plus yards for the touchdown. It was his first interception of the year and the longest interception return in school history. CSU only had one offensive possession in the first quarter, but made it count as Gerald Stevenson got behind the defensive back for a 33-yard touchdown reception to put CSU up 14-0. The points capped a nine-play, 78-yard drive after the defense forced a three-and-out on PC’s second possession of the game. Bazile’s interception ended a 44-yard drive by PC at the 22 yardline. The Bucs went 33 yards but could not finish the drive as Andy Brown came in for his first punt of the game, Three plays later, James got the ball right back, intercepting the ball and returning it 28 yards just across midfield. James’ pick set up a two-play, 48-yard drive that ended with a 36-yard touchdown from Toscano to Anthony Chalmers for his second touchdown of the year. CSU remained up 20-0 after John Paglia’s extra point was blocked. The final interception of the half came with two seconds on the clock as Webb tried to force a pass inside the CSU 10 yardline but found the body of Fred Godfrey instead, ending the threat and the half as the Bucs elected to kneel the ball. CSU had no trouble moving the ball to start the second half as they went 65 yards in 11 plays. The drive was finished with a two-yard pass to defensive tackle Ryan Ard, who returned momentarily to his tight end position, where he was a 2007 all-conference performer. Trying to account for the blocked PAT, Toscano lined up for a pass on the two-point conversion. He completed it to another tight end, Clayton Coffman, but Coffman was stopped short of the goal line, keeping it at 26-7. Both teams had one more touchdown drive in them in the third quarter, with a 22-yard rush by DeMarcus Moon set up an 11-yard touchdown scamper on the keeper by Toscano. Again the Bucs elected to go for two, trying the rush this time, but Ivey was again stopped short to keep the score at 32-10. A 41-yard field goal attempt finished CSU’s first drive of the fourth quarter, but the Blue Hose got a piece of the ball off the foot of Paglia and the ball sailed wide right.

November 14, 2009 Buccaneer Field :: Charleston, S.C.
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Special teams and turnovers led the way as Charleston Southern won their third-straight Big South game taking down Stony Brook, who was tied for the lead in the Big South, 30-27 in overtime Saturday afternoon at Buccaneer Field. The game had three ties, including a 27-27 knot at the end of regulation, but CSU never trailed after taking an early 7-0 lead. An 89-yard return for a touchdown by Deon Lee on the opening kick of the game helped the Bucs (5-5, 3-2 Big South) avenge a one-point loss to Stony Brook (5-5, 4-1) in New York a year ago. It was the first kick return for a touchdown by a CSU player since Mike Washington took one back 98 yards for the score against South Florida on Nov. 2, 2002. It is the second special teams’ touchdown in three weeks after Antwan Ivey returned a punt for six points against VMI on October 31. CSU also got a defensive touchdown for the second week in a row when Charles James ran through a pass in the third quarter for a 51-yard return to put CSU up 27-17. It was the second interception of the season for James, having gotten his first last weekend against Presbyterian College. The defense now has seven interceptions in the past two games, giving them 10 for the season. With two interceptions Saturday, Chris Kuzdale tied the school record, marking the ninth time in CSU history that a Buccaneer has intercepted a pair of passes in the same game. It was Kuzdale’s third interception of the season and of his career, but none were bigger than on the first play of the overtime period as he picked off Michael Coulter on the 15 yardline, leaving CSU needing only a field goal to earn the victory. “We’re three-for-three now when we win the turnover battle, and that’s very crucial for us,” said Head Coach Jay Mills. “I think the key is that our guys are buying into the scheme and into each other.” An end-around to Gerald Stevenson was stopped behind the line of scrimmage by Stephen Schwicke on CSU’s first touch in overtime, but the Bucs got five yards back on two-straight carries by DeMarcus Moon. That set up the game-winning, 43-yard field goal by John Paglia. It was Paglia’s third field goal of the game, all coming from beyond 40 yards, including a school-record 51 yard connection to put CSU up 17-14 on the second play of the second quarter. “I’m just happy my team got me in a position to make the kick,” said Paglia. “I didn’t really even celebrate much. It’s my job to make that kick; it’s what I’m here to do. Having made the longer field goals earlier in the game gave me a lot of confidence. I just told the snapper and the holder that if they would get it down, I would make it. More than anything, I give credit to the defense. If (Chris) Kuzdale doesn’t make that interception, we aren’t even in that position.” Gerald Stevenson had eight receptions for 76 yards and carried the ball one time, while Moon had 13 carries for 38 yards to lead the way on the ground and was second on the team with four receptions for 21 yards. Andrew McKain had a career day with 14 tackles, including two tackles for loss. He also had one of eight pass breakups for the defense as they tallied six tackles for loss and two sacks. Joe Robinson also had a career-high nine tackles with a pass breakup for CSU. It was the first overtime game of the season for either team, and the second year in a row that the Bucs have reached three Big South wins. “Our guys work extremely hard year-round to put themselves in a position to win games like that,” said Head Coach Jay Mills about the overtime victory. “We talked about that in June and July and during two-a-days in August, that should we get in that position, we would have the competitive edge. And we have that sense that we’ve been there before, and we’ll be successful again. That’s what happened today.”

November 21, 2009 Buccaneer Field :: Charleston, S.C.
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Antwan Ivey rushed for a career-high 145 yards as Charleston Southern University ended the 2009 season with a 30-23 victory over rival Coastal Carolina University, Saturday at CSU Stadium. With the victory, the Buccaneers (6-5, 4-2 Big South Conference) finish the year with four consecutive wins. “(Head Coach Jay) Mills always talks about finishing strong, that the great teams play well in November,” Senior Tyrese Harris said after the victory. “We didn’t stop playing when we were 2-5. We played for pride, for all of the seniors.” Ivey’s career day was the first 100-yard rushing effort from a CSU player since DeMarcus Moon accomplished the feat on October 6, 2007, against Savannah State, a span of 28 games. Chris Patrick also had a career day for the Buccaneers, finishing with a personalbest 13 tackles and 3.5 tackles-for-loss. The Buccaneer offense finished with 437 yards on the day, their best effort in seven meetings with Coastal Carolina. After a scoreless first quarter which saw both teams trade fumbles, Coastal Carolina (5-6, 3-3 BSC) got on the scoreboard on their first possession of the second quarter with a 26-yard field goal from Justin Durham. The Bucs responded on their next drive as reigning BSC Special Teams Player of the Week John Paglia connected on a field goal from 25 yards out to tie the score at 3-3. The Bucs scored the game’s first touchdown on their next drive. A 23-yard quarterback keeper from A.J. Toscano put CSU in the red zone for the second time on the afternoon. Toscano capped the drive off himself with a 13-yard scoring scamper that made the score 10-3. After the Chanticleers went three-and-out on their first possession of the third quarter, Paglia gave the Bucs a 13-10 lead with a 44-yard field on CSU’s first touch. The key play of the drive was a diving 22-yard catch from Kwame Krakue on a 3rd and 23 from the CSU 49 yard line. Krakue would strike again on CSU’s next possession. After an Antwain Harvey interception set the Bucs up at the 50 yard line, Krakue hauled in an 11-yard touchdown grab from Toscano to make the score 20-10. Down ten points, Coastal did not fold the tents and got back on the scoreboard on the ensuing possession. The Chanticleers mounted a 13-play, 86-yard drive, culminating with a 2-yard touchdown run by Tommy Fraser. The extra point was no good, making the score 20-16. Charleston Southern added an 18-yard field goal from Paglia early in the 4th quarter, and the Chanticleers missed a field goal on their next drive, ending a 15-play possession without points. CSU got the ball back with 6:35 remaining in the game, and a 44-yard run from Ivey appeared to set CSU up with an opportunity to run the clock out. But Toscano went vertical, throwing a pass that was intercepted by CCU’s Dominique Davenport, his second of the day. That set the Chants up with the ball on their own 18 yard line and 4:38 on the clock. The play that followed will likely go down as one of CSU’s finest in the history of their rivalry with the Chanticleers. MacDowall rolled right and lofted a pass down the sideline, but CSU’s Matt Bach jumped the route and intercepted the throw. In his final collegiate game, the senior raced 25 yards for a touchdown, giving CSU the clinching score at 30-16. Toscano finished the game with 198 passing yards after completing 18-of-26 attempts, while Gerald Stevenson caught five passes for a team-high 76 yards. Krakue caught four passes for 63 yards, while Ivey, in addition to his strong day on the ground, caught six passes for 33 yards. Patrick wasn’t the only Buccaneer with double-digit tackles, as Chris Kuzdale and Fred Godfrey chipped in ten each. Senior Chris Parris had a team-high 1.5 sacks in his final game in blue and gold. “(Chris) worked hard this summer and it showed it the end with his fine performance today,” Mills said of the senior. The win gives the Bucs eight straight wins as a program in the month of November. CSU also won their four November games to close out the 2008 season. By virtue of Stony Brook’s 36-33 victory over Liberty on Saturday afternoon, Charleston Southern ends 2009 with a 3rd place finish in the Big South. Both the Seawolves and Flames finish the season with a 5-1 conference record. “We’re always used to people predicting us to finish 5th or 6th in the conference, and that was the prediction again this season,” Mills said after his team’s 3rd place result. “We finished eight points shy of a share of the conference championship. So we’re getting closer; we’re banging on the door, and hopefully next year we beat that door down.”

Bucs in the Community
Charleston Southern University is passing along its culture of servanthood to its students, and once again, the football team has jumped on board, participating in many different volunteer projects around the community. During the 2009-10 school year, the Buccaneers sponsored many events as a team and sent individual players to a number of different community service projects. Throughout the year, the team participated in 12 different community service projects, along with mentoring programs at two elementary schools, logging 654 total hours of community service. As they have done the past few years, the Buccaneer football team sponsored a Red Cross Blood Drive on campus. To take it a step further, the team petitioned the community and successfully filled every available spot. Coach Mills and his staff also felt that it was important for the team to be active in the local schools, sending athletes to serve as mentors at Ladson Elementary and Alice Birney Middle School, as well as participating in the Flowertown Elementary and Devon Forest Carnivals. “The (CSU) football players that served as mentors truly had a very positive impact on the boys,” said Celeste Bearden of Alice Birney Middle School. “I know this because the boys are continually talking to me about the group. The mentors really made them feel special.” Each year, Charleston Southern University hosts the “Closing the Gap in Healthcare” Track Meet, hosting preteen and teenage athletes for a track meet. Many CSU athletes help out at the event by holding booths and clinics for the kids. The football team had more than 80 players show up to support the meet. “We’re not only a football team, we’re also a big part of this University and of this community,” Mills said. “It’s important that our athletes make positive contributions on and off the field of competition.” The Buccaneers also sent team members to Catalyst, the Peony Street Rebuilding Project, as well as helping with Habitat for Humanity. Members also helped out with Water Missions International, a nonprofit organization working on a water purification system that was sent to Honduras to allow them safe drinking water. “The team served with enthusiasm and were willing to help out in any way that they could,” said Corey Humphries, Catalyst Coordinator. “They provided quality service and were all respectable, presentable, and men of character and integrity.” For their efforts, the football team was given the 2009 and 2010 CSU SAAC Team Community Service Award.
Charleston Southern has had a football player honored at the Atlanta Area Boy Scouts Peach of an Athlete banquet in three of the last four years. Kicker Nick Ellis was honored twice, including being named the top male honoree at the 2008 banquet. Tyrese Harris earned the distinction in 2009. The honor is given to athletes from Georgia, who are considered to be the top role models for their actions on the field, in the classroom and in the community. 77

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of Developing Leaders Through Athletics. The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA
Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years. He has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002 and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, GardnerWebb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member

During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event.

offs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed three out of the last five years, while its FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The Conference’s tagline, Developing Leaders Through Athletics was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.
