The University

Eastern Kentucky University is known as the Campus Beautiful, and for good reason. The EKU campus is one of the most scenic college campuses in the nation and it features several striking features. From the James E. van Peursem Music Pavilion and the Ravine, to the Chapel of Meditation and the Keen Johnson Building, EKU features some of the most diverse and attractive locales on any college campus anywhere. However strong Eastern Kentucky University’s reputation is for its visual aesthetics, the real character of the University can be found in its students, faculty and staff, and outstanding academic programs. EKU offers more than 160 degree programs and features an excellent 17-1 student-to-faculty ratio. The University serves more than 16,000 students, which represent almost all 120 counties in Kentucky, all 50 states and over 60 countries worldwide. The University, which celebrated its centennial in the spring of 2006, had humble beginnings. EKU’s origins can be traced back to a conflict between the northern and southern branches of Kentucky’s Presbyterian Church. A group of alumni and supporters from the Southern branch lost control of Centre College in Danville and set out to start their own institution of higher learning. From that conflict, Central College was chartered in 1873 and the school opened in September of 1874. Financial problems led to Central College’s consolidation into Centre College in 1901, but Richmond’s place in higher education did not move with Central College. Walters Collegiate Institute offered a preparatory curriculum for college-bound men and served as a transitional institution between Central College and what would become Eastern Kentucky University. In 1906, the Kentucky General Assembly approved a bill that would establish two normal schools in the eastern and western parts of the state in order to prepare teachers to enter the classroom. The eastern school, which was located in Richmond, was called the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, later evolving into the regional institution now known as Eastern Kentucky University. Modern-day EKU now encompasses three branch campuses in Corbin, Danville and Manchester. The University also boasts one of the state’s strongest distance learning programs, giving students from around the world an opportunity to receive an EKU education. EKU is also home to the College of Justice and Safety, which educates students from around the world. As EKU’s Program of Distinction, the College of Justice and Safety is involved in numerous worldwide research projects. It also educates a vast majority of the law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth. The University also boasts 17 championship sports at the NCAA’s Division I level, competing in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Colonels’ history includes several national championships, conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances. However, the best is yet to come as the school’s athletic department is committed to ensuring that EKU student-athletes are given the necessary resources to continue to compete at a national level. All told, Eastern Kentucky University provides a safe and attractive environment in which its students can learn and become productive members of society. The lessons learned at EKU will follow students for a lifetime and the performance of its graduates will, in turn, continue to enhance the already strong regional and national reputation of the University.

City of Richmond Richmond is home to many interesting and convenient activities. Whether it’s arts and entertainment, recreation, or shopping and dining out you are looking for, Richmond has it all. With more than 100 buildings in Richmond on the National Register of Historic Places and three areas on the National Register of Historic Districts, it is one of Kentucky’s finest restored 19th Century commercial districts. Arts and entertainment take center-stage with the EKU Center for the Arts. Its grand opening in 2011-12 featured such acts as Wynonna Judd, Peter Frampton, Jerry Seinfeld, Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. With 2,100 seats, the theater is the largest performing arts venue in Central Kentucky — larger than Lexington’s Singletary Center for the Arts at the University of Kentucky and Danville’s Norton Center for the Arts at Centre College. There is never any lack of recreational activities in Richmond. An array of parks and recreational centers across the city offers something for everyone. Lake Reba Recreational Complex includes golf, little league baseball and softball fields, soccer, fishing and a water park which opened in the summer of 2008. If it’s shopping you want, downtown Richmond can accommodate you. Locally owned businesses line the historic streets of downtown Richmond with everything from fine antiquities to exquisite jewelry. There is a wide variety of stores at the brand new Richmond Centre as well. The outdoor mall offers shoppers convenience and style. Dining isn’t hard to find either. Family-owned and major chain restaurants give Richmond a unique variety of menus. Local hot spots include Madison Gardens, which is uniquely Richmond, to restaurants such as Olive Garden, Logan’s Roadhouse, O’Charley’s and Outback Steakhouse. Whatever your pallet craves, Richmond dining offers a variety of tastes made to satisfy. Never far from mainstream, Richmond offers the comforts of simplicity with the convenience of the city. Only 29 miles from Lexington and the Bluegrass Airport, Richmond is easily accessible to all travelers. Interstate 75 is a major artery of both state and national motor transportation. Richmond’s location on I-75 makes it an important factor in making the city a commercial hub. In fact, the ease of travel to and from Richmond makes the city an ideal spot for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Fort Boonesborough State Park is located only 12 miles from EKU’s campus, while Natural Bridge State Park (63 miles) and Cumberland Falls State Park (100 miles) are located nearby. Also within easy driving distance of Richmond are the Kentucky Horse Park, the state capital in Frankfort, Herrington Lake, My Old Kentucky Home at Bardstown, White Hall State Shrine and thoroughbred horse racing at Keeneland.

A Brief Richmond History Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in his barn. On July 4, 1798, the site was oﬃcially named Richmond in honor of Miller’s birthplace, Richmond, Va.

Season Outlook

Expectations always seem to be high for the Eastern Kentucky University football team, but heading into the fall of 2012, the preseason prognosticators are especially high on the Colonels. EKU is the preseason favorite in the Ohio Valley Conference and two national magazines have picked the Colonels as a top-20 program (Lindy’s – No. 9, AthOhio Valley Conference Titles lon – No. 18). Eastern No. Last Kentucky hasn’t been 1. Eastern Kentucky 21 2011 this highly ranked in 2. Tennessee Tech 10 2011 the preseason since 3. Murray State 8 2002 2002. 4.

The UT Martin 1 2006 sudden end to the 2011 campaign has the EKU *current members only football team yearn2012 OVC Predicted Order of Finish ing for more this fall. Team Points The Colonels won a 124 share of the OVC title 1. Eastern Kentucky (12) 117 for the second time in 2. Jacksonville State (6) 85 four years under head 3. Murray State 83 coach Dean Hood and 4. Tennessee Tech 5. Tennessee State 69 advanced to the 2011 67 NCAA Football Cham- 6. UT Martin 7. Southeast Missouri 44 pionship Subdivision 42 (FCS) playoffs. Eastern 8. Eastern Illinois 17 battled James Madison 9. Austin Peay to the very last play in *selected by head coaches and SIDs the opening round of the playoffs before the Dukes prevailed on a 35-yard field goal, 20-17. Secondly, there is a huge number of returning starters on the roster. Ten offensive starters from 2011 are back as well as seven on the defensive side of the ball. EKU led all OVC teams with 10 preseason all-conference selections, eight of which are seniors. Three Colonels were named preseason All-Americans by The Sports Network – senior offensive tackle Aaron Adams, senior running back Matt Denham and senior offensive tackle Patrick Ford – while Denham was recently named to the Walter Payton Award watch list. Finally, it’s just feels like the time is right for Eastern Kentucky to return to the national scene at the FCS level. Exactly 30 years ago, EKU was the team to beat in the FCS as the Colonels finished the 1982 season 13-0 overall and captured the program’s second national title. Twenty years ago, Eastern was still a national contender and was in the middle of a four-year stretch where it went 30-1 against OVC competition. And 10 years ago, legendary coach Roy Kidd retired from the EKU sidelines with his 315th career victory.

Denham, who took over the starting running back role in game five at Eastern Illinois, averaged 184.5 yards rushing per game in his eight starts to earn third team AP All-America honors. He was one of just two FCS players to reach 200 yards rushing in four games. Meanwhile, senior quarterback T.J. Pryor is closing in on numerous EKU passing records. Pryor needs 622 passing yards and 62 completions to become Eastern Kentucky’s career leader in both of those categories. He tossed 18 touchdown passes last year, his most in three years as quarterback, compared to only eight interceptions, his lowest season total. At the wide receiver position, senior Tyrone Goard has established himself as an all-conference performer. Goard totaled 11 touchdown receptions as a junior, which was just one shy of the program single-season record. Fellow senior Cameron Bailey is expected to line up at the other wide out position. He caught a huge 60-yard touchdown reception in the 52-48 comeback win over Jacksonville State last year. The strength of the oﬀense probably lies in the trenches. Four of the five starters from 2011 are returning including the two preseason All-America candidates at tackle – Adams and Ford. Senior O.J. Enabosi is now in his third season at the center position. Junior Justin Meredith, who is one of the more versatile linemen, played left guard last year, but is penciled in at right guard heading into preseason camp. The only open position is left guard where junior college transfer Travon Carter could fill the void. The Defense Even though the oﬀense has been getting the majority of the publicity heading into the season, the defense has plenty of playmakers on its side of the ball under second year coordinator Tony Hatmaker. EKU’s 4-3 defense led the OVC in scoring defense (23.3 ppg) and turnovers forced (31) one year ago.

The Offense The Eastern Kentucky offense went through a major change in the middle of the 2011 season under first year coordinator Dane Damron. The offense shifted its approach from a spread scheme to a more traditional pro style attack and the results were impressive. “I think we surprised a lot of teams last year [with the offensive switch},” Hood said. “Teams will be better at defending us this year, but I also think we will be better at running this offense.”

Season Outlook

of experience at defensive end and should do just fine anchoring those positions. In the interior, junior David Carter will fill one spot while the other will be contested by redshirt freshman Bryce Krebs, sophomore Caleb Coulliette and Virginia Tech transfer Courtney Prince. “Losing Emory Attig was probably the biggest loss to our football team because of his leadership and consistency,” Hood said. “We need our redshirt freshmen and transfers to rise up and make some plays for us.” The Special Teams Junior punter Jordan Berry truly makes the word ‘special’ stand out in special teams. The 2011 All-OVC punter finished 25th nationally in punting one year ago (41.0 yards per punt) and set an EKU single-season record as a freshman in 2010 (42.9 ypp). He can do a variety of kicks ranging from traditional to rugby and has even practiced punting left-footed. Berry also serves as the holder on field goal attempts. Kicking is an area of concern for EKU headed into the 2012 season. Junior Luke Pray only converted 10-of-20 field goal attempts last year with a long of 49 yards. Numerous players are in the running for kick and punt return duties. Seniors Justin Bell and Cameron Bailey, as well as newcomer Deshaun Sands, took a lot of repetitions during spring practice. Bell nearly returned a punt for a touchdown in the FCS playoffs versus James Madison. The Schedule The 2012 schedule opens with three consecutive non-conference games including the opener at Big Ten opponent Purdue on Sept. 1. Purdue head coach Danny Hope previously served as head coach at Eastern Kentucky (2003-07) where he guided the Colonels to the 2007 OVC championship. Hope graduated from EKU in 1981 and was a part of the Colonels’ 1979 NCAA Division I-AA national championship team. The following week, Eastern opens its home schedule against Morehead State (Sept. 8). The Colonels and Eagles last met on the gridiron in 2008. EKU concludes its non-conference schedule on Sept. 15 in its first-ever meeting against Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers, who have earned trips to the NCAA FCS playoffs in 2006 and 2010, finished 7-4 overall and 3-3 in the Big South this past fall. Family Weekend is set for Sept. 22 when the Colonels open Ohio Valley Conference action against Jacksonville State. Eastern has won four of the last five meetings versus the Gamecocks, including a thrilling 52-48 win at JSU in November. Back-to-back conference road games follow the Jacksonville State tilt before Eastern Kentucky returns to Roy Kidd Stadium on Oct. 13 for its Homecoming game versus Austin Peay. The Governors have not defeated EKU in Richmond since 1977, but did come away with a 23-17 win over the Colonels in Clarksville this past season. On Oct. 20, Eastern Kentucky takes on 2011 OVC co-champion Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, Tenn. The Golden Eagles earned the league’s automatic playoff berth last year thanks to key victories over EKU and Jacksonville State. Two of the Colonels’ final three games are at home featuring OVC foes Eastern Illinois (Oct. 27) and Murray State (Nov. 10). This will mark the 68th consecutive season Eastern Kentucky and Murray State have met on the football field. Both schools are original members of the Ohio Valley Conference which formed in 1948. The two teams have combined to win 29 OVC crowns.

Brooklyn Fox will line up as the starting free safety for the third straight year.

The three starting linebackers could possibly be the most dynamic group in Richmond since the mid-1990s. Junior Ichiro Vance will line up in the middle for the second straight year. He posted a team season-high 19 tackles in the win over Missouri State last year. Senior Kevin Hamlin, a 2011 All-OVC newcomer selection, will once again cover the weak side. Hamlin was involved in six turnovers in his first season on the squad. He led the OVC in interceptions (four) and also posted two fumble recoveries. Finally, junior Anthony Brown is making the move from defensive lineman to strong side linebacker. Brown tallied 10 sacks in his first two years on the team and finished with a personalbest 13 tackles in the FCS playoﬀ game against James Madison. “Moving Brown is going to do a world of good to the defense,” Hood said. “Our sam linebacker spot is a critical spot in the defense and he showed in the spring that he can lock it down.” Two preseason All-OVC honorees are set to line up in the defensive backfield. Senior Justin Bell has proven to be a game changer at one corner back position. He got his hands on a first quarter interception versus Tennessee State last year and returned it 79 yards for a score. Bell was also credited with the goal-line stop on the final play in the 52-48 win over Jacksonville State. Brooklyn Fox, the team’s third leading tackler in 2011, is scheduled to start at free safety for the third straight year. He recorded three interceptions last season, one of which came at Kansas State. The other two defensive back positions are up for grabs. Sophomore Brandon Stanley is the leading candidate to fill the shoes of two-time All-OVC pick Patrick McClellan at strong safety. Trey Thomas, who saw action in 10 games last year as a true freshman, is the front runner at the other corner back spot. There are a few changes on the defensive line due to the departure of two All-OVC performers – tackle Emory Attig (graduation) and end Anthony Brown (move to linebacker). Senior Robert Knowles and junior Shawn Shupperd both have plenty

History of the Colonel Eastern Kentucky University athletic teams were known as the Maroons until 1966 and even survived one attempt to alter the school mascot to the Leopards. In 1963, Eastern Kentucky University President Robert Martin was at a loss as to how he could create a physical “Maroon” to excite the audience. A man of vision and intelligence, Martin began searching for a mascot that would embody the glorious Bluegrass State. He found it in the honorable Kentucky Colonel. The military title of “Colonel” had begun being used as an honorary title in the state by the late 1800s and by 1931 the nowfamous Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels had been formed. The finger-lickin’ Colonel Harlan D. Sanders himself was inducted in 1935. Like Minutemen of Massachusetts and Sooners of Oklahoma, the Kentucky breed of Colonel was a unique symbol of the state and so Martin selected it to accompany the school color as Eastern’s mascot. Further cementing the connection with Eastern was the fact that Centre College’s mascot was already the Colonel and a faction of that school had occupied the Richmond campus before Eastern’s founding.

Coaching Staff Much of the credit for Wake Forest’s 2006 league championship fell to the defense. The Demon Deacons allowed just 15.4 ppg to rank second in the ACC and 21st nationally. Against the run, Wake yielded just 105.8 yards per game to rank 21st nationally, the third lowest total in Wake Forest history. Against the pass, the Demon Deacons recorded 22 interceptions, second most in the nation. Hood’s defenders earned All-ACC mention 14 times. That list includes four NFL draft picks – Calvin Pace, Montique Sharpe, Eric King and Josh Gattis. Hood entered the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College, where he worked with the defensive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 interceptions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University. From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State College, the last three of which he served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In 1993, Glenville finished 10-3 and advanced to the NAIA Division I championship game. Also that year, Hood’s defense led the nation in scoring defense (9.2 ppg), passing defense (118.0 ypg), and total defense (223.0 ypg). Hood moved to Ohio University for two years (1999-2000) where he met current Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe. At Ohio, Hood was in charge of the defensive backs. That unit recorded 17 interceptions in 1999, the most in more than a decade. The following year, Ohio ranked 20th nationally in scoring defense (18.9 points per game) as the Bobcat defense was one of only five units in Division I-A that did not allow more than 30 points in a game throughout the entire season. This is Hood’s first head coaching position and he is just the third EKU head football coach in the last 47 years. “Knowing first-hand what Coach Kidd built here, this is one of the best jobs in the country,” Hood said. “I remember when I was here the first time thinking how many guys in the history of athletics are still coaching in a facility named after them. That is rare. It is exciting to be at the helm of this program.”

Head Coach • 5th Year at EKU (26-20)

Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986  2011 AFCA Regional Coach of the Year  2008 OVC Coach of the Year  2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and head coach Dean Hood has delivered Ohio Valley Conference championships twice in his four years as head coach (2011, 2008). “It doesn’t matter if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU. They can’t play to the best of their athletic ability until they know exactly where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to do on the field.” The Eastern football program has produced seven All-Americans, one OVC Defensive Player of the Year and 19 first team allconference performers in Hood’s four years on the EKU sidelines. This past fall, the Colonels piled up a league-best 10 first team All-OVC selections. Hood, 48, spent seven seasons working at Wake Forest University before taking over the EKU program in January 2008. Under Hood’s direction, the Wake Forest defense was known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, more than two per game. In 2007, Wake Forest led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 35 turnovers forced on its way to going 9-4 and capturing the Meineke Car Care Bowl. “Dean Hood is a wonderful blend of several characteristics we were looking for in a head coach,” EKU Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “He’s a great teacher, excellent recruiter, a person of high character, and someone who has been part of the EKU football heritage.” From 1994-98, Hood spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky under College Football Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd. He served all five years as the secondary coach and the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood’s first stint at EKU, the Colonels captured two Ohio Valley Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS playoﬀs three times. “This was a big deal for me,” Eastern Kentucky University President Dr. Doug Whitlock said. “I have been an Eastern football fan for almost 50 years; so I wanted us to find someone who would fit in with the community, had the kind of values that our football program has traditionally been built upon, and hopefully had been a part of the EKU football tradition. And, yes, we wanted someone who has been and will be a winner. Dean Hood fills all those particulars.” At Wake Forest, Hood and the rest of the Demon Deacons broke every program record imaginable in 2006 and set many other milestones. WFU won the ACC title for the first time since 1970 by shattering the program record with 11 victories. The Demon Deacons earned a berth in a BCS bowl game, taking on Louisville in the FedEx Orange Bowl.

Dane Damron is in his second season as offensive coordinator and fourth season overall on the EKU football staff. He spent his first two years on staff as the special teams coordinator. The Eastern Kentucky offense changed gears in 2011 from a spread scheme to a power rushing attack. The change brought significant results as running back Matt Denham finished third nationally in rushing (130.8 yards per game). Ten of the 11 Colonel offensive starters from last fall are returning including Denham and senior quarterback T.J. Pryor, who ranks second in the EKU annals with 5,371 career passing yards. “Coach Damron brings positive energy to the field every day,” EKU head coach Dean Hood said. “Offense is his cup of tea. He has been the offensive coordinator or the head coach calling the offensive plays for numerous other teams throughout his career. I’m thrilled that Dane is running the offense.” Damron, a native of Grayson, Ky., began his collegiate coaching career at Eastern Kentucky in 1995. He served two years as a graduate assistant and wide receivers coach under Roy Kidd. Damron earned his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1996. Following a coaching stint at Morehead State, Damron moved to the high school ranks where he coached for nine years. From 200205, he was the head coach of Boyd County where he helped the Lions advance to the second round of the KHSAA playoffs three straight years. Before returning to EKU in 2009, Damron served three years as Kentucky Christian University’s head football coach, which culminated with the school’s first-ever varsity football season in 2008. Damron played collegiate football at Georgetown College from 1990-94. The quarterback was a two-time NAIA All-American and led the Tigers to the 1991 NAIA national championship. Damron and his wife Delisha have two children – Hanna (12) and Derek (eight).

Garry Fisher joined the EKU coaching staff three years ago. He will once again serve as the linebackers coach in 2012. The linebacker corps could be one of the most dynamic on the field this year for the Colonels. Returning to the unit is first team All-OVC pick Ichiro Vance as well as senior Kevin Hamlin. Joining the group will be Anthony Brown, who earned first team all-league honors last year as a defensive end. Fisher, a native of Columbus, Ohio, spent the 2008 season as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State. “We’re certainly very excited to have Garry on staff,” Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood said. “He came highly recommended and with his extensive defensive background, especially at the linebacker position, this seemed like the perfect fit for us.” Fisher was a four-year letterwinner at Bowling Green (1998-01) as an outside linebacker before transitioning into the Falcons coaching ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an offensive assistant for the 2004 Mountain West Conference and 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions. At both of his first two coaching jobs, Fisher served under current Florida head coach Urban Meyer. Following a one-year stint at Heidelberg College (2005) as the special teams coordinator, Fisher landed at Shenandoah University for two years (2006-07) as the defensive coordinator. Fisher graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2002 with a degree in sociology. He then earned his master’s degree in exercise and sport science from the University of Utah in 2006. This summer, Fisher was selected to participate in the NCAA and NFL Coaches Academy in Dallas. He also spent some of the summer doing a minority internship program with the New Orleans Saints. Fisher has three children – Amari (eight), Rece (six) and Gianna (infant). He married the former Lucretia Hughes, who has one child – Tseday (nine), in 2010.

Tony Hatmaker Alma Mater: Union College, 1993 Tony Hatmaker was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2011 following three years as the Colonel defensive backs coach. EKU returns seven of 11 defensive starters this fall from a unit that ranked first in the OVC in scoring defense (23.3 ppg) and turnovers forced (31) one year ago. Hatmaker, who will retain his duties as defensive backs coach in 2012, has helped produce eight All-OVC defensive backs in his time at EKU including three-time all-league selection Jeremy Caldwell, who signed a free agent deal with the St. Louis Rams in April. The Colonels returned two interceptions for touchdowns last fall. “Tony is a tireless worker who pays attention to detail and coaches with a lot of energy and passion,” head coach Dean Hood said. “We are excited about him being a part of our staff.” Hatmaker’s résumé includes 20 years of collegiate coaching experience.

Matt Lengel ranked third on the team in receptions while Nathan Watts and Paul Henry each provided valuable depth at the position. As the wide receivers coach from 2008-10, Hodges helped two Colonels earn all-conference accolades including Orlandus Harris in 2010 who posted the most receiving yards (940) by an EKU player in five years. In his first two years on staff as an offensive assistant, Hodges worked with the tight ends and also served as the team video coordinator.

Carson Jeffers

Jake Johnson

Alma Mater: Concord College (W.Va.), 1997

Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 2002

Carson Jeffers is in his fifth year on the Eastern coaching staff and fourth season as the offensive line coach. He also serves as the team’s NFL liaison. The 2012 offensive line has the potential to be one of the best units at EKU in recent memory. Four of the five starters from 2011 return including three first team All-OVC honorees – right tackle Aaron Adams, center O.J. Enabosi and left tackle Patrick Ford. “Carson came very highly recommended by a variety of people who have seen him coach several positions,” Eastern head football coach Dean Hood said. “He has been on both sides of the ball as well as special teams. Carson is a great addition to our staff.” In his first season at Eastern, Jeffers served as the special teams coordinator and the tight ends coach. Jeffers has also acted as the director of operations in his time at EKU. Jeffers has worked at five colleges throughout the South before arriving at EKU. For three years, Jeffers served on the coaching staff at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss. The 2006 Wolfpack captured the Mississippi Junior College South Division title and went on to defeat Georgia Military College in the Golden Isle Bowl. In 2007, Jeffers was promoted from offensive line coach to co-offensive coordinator. Jeffers was also the offensive coordinator at the University of Charleston (W.Va.) (2003), where he worked with former Eastern Kentucky offensive coordinator Mike Springston, and Cumberland University (1998). For three-and-a-half years, Jeffers was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of the South (1999-02). He began his collegiate coaching career in 1995 at his alma mater, Concord College. During his football career, Jeffers was honored as an all-conference player and a Dean’s List student. He proceeded to earn his master’s degree in education from Cumberland University in 2000. Jeffers is married to the former Lauren Newton of Ripley, W.Va. The couple has two children – Kaden (four) and Chloe (infant).

Former Colonel Jake Johnson is in his ninth season on the Eastern Kentucky coaching staff and eighth as the team’s defensive line coach. “Jake is one of the veterans on our staff and truly epitomizes ‘EKU Pride’,” head coach Dean Hood said. “Players enjoy being around him and work hard for him.” Johnson has helped 12 defensive linemen earn All-OVC honors since 2005 including two players from a year ago – Emory Attig and Anthony Brown. The 2012 defensive line will have a new look as Attig has graduated and Brown has moved to outside linebacker. Senior Robert Knowles and junior Shawn Shupperd, who combined for 9.5 sacks last year, give the defensive line some much-needed experience. After graduating from Eastern in 2002 with a bachelor of arts degree in geography with an emphasis in global studies, Johnson spent a year at Wingate University as an assistant coach. His duties there included serving as the Bulldogs’ full-time tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach, while also aiding in player recruitment and game-day planning. Johnson then returned to Eastern Kentucky in 2004 as a graduate assistant coach. A three-year starting offensive lineman during his collegiate career, Johnson garnered All-Ohio Valley Conference accolades at center in 2001. That same year, Johnson served as the Colonels’ offensive team captain and was named the squad’s offensive lineman of the year. Johnson earned four letters from 1997-2001 and was a freshman on the 1997 Colonel team which captured an OVC championship. He found success on and off the field at EKU, earning two spots on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and five Colonel Scholar awards. Johnson married the former Kate Lyon, a four-year volleyball letterwinner at Eastern who was named team co-MVP in 2000, in the summer of 2007. The Johnsons are the proud parents of Sam (two) and Zoey (one).

Klay Koester

John Revere

Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 2007

Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1976

Klay Koester is in his second stint on the Colonel coaching staﬀ and in his second year as the wide receivers coach. There are plenty of playmakers at Koester’s disposal for 2012 including senior Tyrone Goard, who earned second team All-OVC honors last fall after leading the conference with 11 touchdown receptions. Koester will also have the luxury of working with two other key contributors in senior Cameron Bailey and junior Justin Williams. “Klay is an extremely hard worker, knowledgeable in his specific area and truly cares about the players,” head coach Dean Hood said. Before returning to Eastern Kentucky, Koester served as the wide receivers coach at McMurry University in 2009 under head coach Hal Mumme. Under Koester’s guidance, four wide receivers posted at least 30 catches while two players earned all-conference honors. Koester also worked with the special teams unit as kick-oﬀ return coordinator. Koester, an EKU graduate, began his coaching career as a student assistant at Eastern from 2005-07. He then moved into a graduate assistant role with the wide receivers and quarterbacks in 2007 and 2008 where he helped the Colonels win back-to-back OVC championships. A native of Canton, Ga., Koester was an all-county and AllMetro City All-Star during his high school playing days. Injuries limited Koester’s playing time with the Eastern Kentucky football squad. Koester holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University. Koester is married to the former Angie Kuntz of Danville, Ill.

If anybody ever fit the description “life-long Colonel,” it’s John Revere. He played for the Colonels from 1972-75 before returning to his alma mater as a member of the coaching staff 16 years ago. “John Revere, by far, has recruited more people in our twodeep to this program than any other coach,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He is a knowledgeable person that can and has coached several different positions on the field.” This will be the eighth consecutive year that Revere will be in charge of the running backs, a position which features a potential All-American candidate. Senior Matt Denham burst onto the scene midway through the 2011 season and finished third nationally in rushing yards per game (130.8). Denham rushed for at least 100 yards in the final eight games including a personal-high 226 yards against Tennessee State. Newcomer Deshaun Sands and junior Zavier Foster, who switched positions in the spring, give the Colonels two quality reserves at running back. Meanwhile, Jeremy James returns to serve as the fullback. Besides his coaching duties, Revere serves as the football team’s liaison for housing and its community service director. Prior to returning to Eastern, Revere was an assistant coach at LaGrange (Ga.) High School from 1982 to 1996. There he coached six players that went on to NFL careers including Walt Harris (San Francisco 49ers), Tyrone Poole (Oakland Raiders), Quientin McCord (Atlanta Falcons), John Johnson (San Francisco 49ers), Tony Stargell (New York Jets) and Marty Carter (Detroit Lions). Revere has also had a hand in developing several professional players while coaching at Eastern Kentucky. Alex Bannister, a wide receiver with the Super Bowl XL participant Seattle Seahawks, learned under Revere. Dialleo Burks, who also played for Revere at LaGrange High School, went on to play for the Dallas Desperados in the Arena League, while Corey Crume went on to play for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League. On the recruiting front, Revere’s tireless work along with his countless high school contacts have helped land numerous successful student-athletes at Eastern. Among Revere’s standout recruits are Antwaun Molden, a third round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2008 draft, Sean Dumford, a 2008 free agent signee with the Baltimore Ravens, and Jeremy Caldwell, a 2012 free agent signee with the St. Louis Rams. Some of his other former recruits include Larry Turner, a seventh round selection of the St. Louis Rams in the 2004 draft, Terry Ennis, who inked a contract with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL and former Colonel linebacker Justen Rivers, the 2004 OVC Defensive Player of the Year. Revere was a standout during his collegiate playing career, starting at flanker for four seasons under legendary EKU head coach Roy Kidd. During those four years, he hauled in 95 passes for 1,501 yards and 13 scores. He also rushed 53 times for 419 yards and two touchdowns. A dangerous punt and kick-off return man, Revere tallied 459 career yards on 65 punt returns while racking up 1,212 yards and a touchdown on 59 kick-off returns.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Eastern Kentucky’s defense forced five turnovers, but host Kansas State tallied a 33-yard touchdown pass in the final two minutes to escape with a 10-7 victory Saturday night at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Colonels almost earned a win over a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team for the first time since 1985. Kansas State fumbled the ball on its first possession, allowing Eastern to take over at the K-State 24-yard line. The Colonels settled for a field goal try, but missed the 42-yard attempt wide right. Later in the first quarter, the Wildcats muﬀed a punt which was then recovered by sophomore Myer Nolan at the Kansas State 35-yard line. However, Eastern gave the ball back to the home team with an interception on 3rd-and-goal. Kansas State struggled the entire first half to give the home crowd a reason to cheer. The Wildcats’ lone opportunity to score before halftime was thwarted when the EKU defense stopped K-State on fourth down at the visiting team’s 23-yard line. Eastern Kentucky finally put some points on the board late in the third quarter. A forced fumble at the Kansas State 19-yard line was scooped up by senior Patrick McClellan and returned to the one-yard line. Two plays later, McClain found the end zone with a quarterback keeper through the right side. The host Wildcats responded early in the fourth quarter with a 36-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3. EKU moved the ball to midfield on its ensuing possession, but was forced to punt. K-State took over at its own 14-yard line on the decisive drive. Quarterback Collin Klein rushed for 36 yards on the 11-play drive and also converted two third downs to keep the chains moving. Following a time-out at the Eastern 33-yard line with 1:46 left, Klein found a streaking Chris Harper down the right sidelines for the winning touchdown. The Colonels had one final possession, but threw an interception near the 50-yard line. Sophomore Shawn Shupperd and junior Robert Knowles joined McClellan and Nolan with fumble recoveries. Meanwhile, junior Brooklyn Fox led all players with 11 tackles and an interception. McClain, who was starting in place of the injured T.J. Pryor, finished 9-of-26 for 119 yards. The Colonel running game was bottled up for just 10 total yards. Kansas State ran for 114 of its 175 yards following halftime. Klein totaled 78 rushing yards on 25 carries while John Hubert added 91 yards. Eastern Kentucky at Kansas State

RICHMOND, Ky. – With Eastern Kentucky clinging to a four-point lead and less than four minutes left to play, newcomer Jeremiah Williams scored his second touchdown of the game, but it took a H.B. Banjoman 16-yard run for a first down, after Missouri State cut the lead to four again, to seal a 28-24 victory for the Colonels in their 2011 home-opener. EKU built a 14-0 halftime lead but the Bears cut the lead to four points three times in the fourth quarter. Williams powered through a would-be tackler at the one-yard line to polish off a 12-yard touchdown run with 3:55 left in the game. The extra-point gave EKU a 28-17 lead. On its ensuing possession, Missouri State drove 60 yards in 1:54 to draw within four for the third time. Trevor Wooden’s nine-yard touchdown pass capped the drive. Banjoman began Eastern’s final possession with a three-yard run. After MSU used its second timeout, Banjoman ripped off a 16-yard gainer for an EKU first down with 1:12 left on the clock and essentially seal the game. Pryor, who returned to action after missing the first game of the season with a hand injury, capped Eastern Kentucky’s first possession of the game with a 33-yard scoring toss to Chris Moore on 4th-and-2. With 8:09 remaining in the second quarter, Williams gave Eastern a 14-0 lead with a seven-yard scoring run. Eastern controlled the first half, out-gaining Missouri State 276 to 132 and holding the ball three minutes longer. But the third quarter was a different story. Wooden got the Bears on the board by finishing off a 14-play, 60-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run. Early in the fourth, Austin Witmer’s 18-yard field goal capped MSU second possession of the half and cut the Colonel lead to four, 14-10. Missouri State’s first two possessions of the second half lasted a combined 14:09 while the Bears converted seven of their first eight third down situations. The two teams then exchanged a pair of quick scores. Jeremy Caldwell followed MSU’s field goal with an 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. On the first play of the Bears’ ensuing possession Wooden tossed a 71yard scoring pass to make it a 21-17 game. Missouri State at Eastern Kentucky

RICHMOND, Ky. – Holding on with a three-point cushion, No. 14 Chattanooga scored a late touchdown to secure a 23-14 victory over Eastern Kentucky Saturday evening at Roy Kidd Stadium. A 55-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback T.J. Pryor to sophomore Matt Lengel with 16 seconds left in the first half sent Eastern to the locker room with a 14-10 lead at the break. The Mocs took the lead for good on a 17-yard run by Marquis Green with 7:36 left

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Host Austin Peay ran for 201 yards and held off a late charge by Eastern Kentucky to earn a 23-17 win in the OVC opener Saturday night. The win broke the Governors’ 10-game losing streak. APSU has now won back-to-back games over Eastern in Clarksville for the first time in the history of the series which dates back to 1959. Running back Ryan White carried the load for the Govs, recording 27 carries for 132 yards. Eight of White’s rushes went for 10 yards or more. Wide out Devin Stark added 79 yards receiving and three touchdown catches. Austin Peay held the ball for more than 36 minutes while forcing three EKU turnovers. The Governors got on the board midway through the first quarter when quarterback Jake Ryan found Stark for a 16-yard touchdown strike. Austin Peay extended its lead to 9-0 two plays later when Eastern Kentucky running back Jeremiah Williams was tackled for a loss in the end zone. Eastern’s offense finally showed some life in the second quarter. Sophomore kicker Luke Pray got the Colonels on the board with a 36-yard field goal. Two series later, junior quarterback T.J. Pryor found junior wide receiver Tyrone Goard behind the defense for a 52-yard touchdown. That play gave EKU its only lead of the game, 10-9. Austin Peay immediately responded to regain the lead, 16-10. The Governors put together a 13-play, 70-yard scoring drive which culminated with a five-yard touchdown reception by Stark. The Colonel offense sputtered throughout much of the second half. Eastern managed only 56 yards on its first five possessions which resulted in four punts and a fumble. Meanwhile, Austin Peay took its opening drive 76 yards in 11 plays to extend its lead to 23-10. EKU mounted one last charge in the final five minutes. Pryor found Goard for a 12-yard touchdown with 1:47 left to cut the deficit to 23-17. However, the ensuing on-sides kick was recovered by Austin Peay. The Governors were then able to run out the clock. Goard led the Eastern Kentucky offense with personal highs in both receptions (seven) and receiving yards (133). Linebackers Nick Vicini and Ichiro Vance combined for 15 stops on the defensive side of the ball.

in the third. The margin remained at three points until Chattanooga added a touchdown on a one-yard rush by Taharin Tyson with 54 seconds left in the game. Chattanooga quarterback B.J. Coleman completed 26-of-40 pass attempts for 277 yards and one touchdown. The Mocs out-gained Eastern, 377-233. The Colonel oﬀense was stymied by third-down conversions, finishing just 2-for-15 on the night. Pryor went 15-for-28 for 164 yards. He tossed two touchdown passes, but also tossed a pair of interceptions. Junior Tyrone Goard caught six passes for 65 yards, including one touchdown. EKU got on the board late in the first quarter on Pryor’s 29-yard pass to Goard. After reaching 1st-and-goal at the four-yard line, Chattanooga had to settle for a 23-yard field goal with five minutes left in the second quarter. On UTC’s next possession, Coleman found Joel Bradford from 13 yards out to give the Mocs their first lead of the game, 10-7. The Colonels answered on the second play of their next possession. Pryor found his tight end on the left side. Lengel caught the pass, broke a tackle, dodged a defender and had nothing but open field ahead to finish oﬀ the 55-yard touchdown play with 16 seconds remaining before the half. One week after running the ball for 245 yards against Missouri State, Eastern Kentucky was limited to 69 yards on the ground against Chattanooga. #14 Chattanooga at Eastern Kentucky

The win was the fifth straight for the Colonels over the Panthers. The tone for the game was set on the second play of the game. Junior running back Matt Denham burst through the oﬀensive line for a 64-yard gain. Denham finished with a personal-high 216 yards on 22 carries in his first start of the season. It marked the first time an Eastern Kentucky player rushed for at least 200 yards since C.J. Walker totaled 228 yards against Murray State on Nov. 15, 2008. After netting a field goal on the opening drive, EKU moved 85 yards on five plays for a touchdown on its second possession to take a 10-0 lead. All 85 yards on that drive came on the ground. Two more scoring drives in the second quarter gave Eastern Kentucky a 24-3 lead. A 30-yard pass completion to junior tight end Paul Henry set up EKU’s second touchdown. Junior quarterback T.J. Pryor kept EKU’s third touchdown drive alive with a 16-yard completion to sophomore Justin Williams on a 3rd-and-5. The Colonels continued to pour on the oﬀense in the second half, recording touchdowns on their first three possessions. Senior running back H.B. Banjoman tallied two of those touchdowns with a 31-yard run and one-yard plunge. Defensively, Eastern Kentucky held Eastern Illinois to only 24 yards rushing on 21 carries. The Colonels also limited EIU to just 2-of-10 (20 percent) on third down conversions. Senior linebacker Tyson Patrick registered a team-high eight tackles and was involved in a sack.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky forced six turnovers and churned out 244 rushing yards in a 41-17 victory over Southeast Missouri Saturday at Roy Kidd Stadium. Southeast entered the game having committed only four turnovers all season. Junior running back Matt Denham accounted for 142 of Eastern’s yards on the ground on 23 carries and scored twice. He became the first Colonel since 2007 to rush for 100-plus yards in back-to-back games. A 40-yard Colonel field goal with 1:18 left in the first quarter broke a scoreless tie. A 28-yard punt by Southeast on its next possession gave EKU the ball near midfield again. It appeared Eastern would have to settle for another field goal after T.J. Pryor’s pass on 3rd-and-4 deep in SEMO territory fell incomplete. However, the Redhawks were called for defensive holding, giving the Colonels a first down at the two-yard line. Denham carried up the middle to finish off the drive and EKU led 10-0 early in the second quarter. Eastern Kentucky then took advantage of two straight fumbles by SEMO on kickoff returns to put together a 20-0 lead with 7:42 remaining before halftime. The Redhawks finally seemed to gain some momentum late in the first half. Scheible rebounded from an interception and converted an 82-yard pass from his own five-yard line. Three plays later SEMO was on the board after a three-yard quarterback keeper with 1:35 left in the half. The Redhawks were on their way to closing the gap to three points early in the third quarter as they drove to the EKU 13-yard line. However, an interception by Patrick McClellan at the eight put an end to the drive and the Southeast Missouri rally. SEMO was still within 10, 27-17, when Denham polished off a 13-play, 76-yard scoring drive with a four-yard touchdown run with 6:04 remaining. On the first play of Southeast Missouri’s next possession, junior Kevin Hamlin ran an interception back 39 yards for another EKU touchdown.

RICHMOND, Ky. – On a day when Eastern Kentucky’s offense struggled to string together sustained drives, the Colonel defense scored seven points and set the team up for two short scoring drives in a 33-22 Homecoming victory over visiting Tennessee State Saturday afternoon at Roy Kidd Stadium. EKU junior running back Matt Denham finished with a career-high 226 yards on 35 carries and two touchdowns. Tennessee State had averaged 48.5 points in its previous two games before being held to a season-low 22 points. After the Tigers drew first blood with a field goal early in the first quarter, junior defensive back Justin Bell got the Colonels on the board when he picked off a fourth down pass at the EKU 21-yard line and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown. With Eastern leading 7-6 late in the first half, junior Brooklyn Fox returned a fumble 22 yards to the TSU 15 to set the offense up with a short field. On 3rd-and-14 from the 19-yard line, junior quarterback T.J. Pryor connected with junior wide receiver Tyrone Goard in the back right corner of the end zone. Goard kept one foot in bounds and the extra-point gave EKU a 14-6 lead at the break. Late in the third quarter, the Colonel defense did it again. This time junior linebacker Kevin Hamlin intercepted a pass at the 45-yard line and returned it 32 yards to the TSU 13. Senior H.B. Banjoman followed Denham’s 10-yard run with a one-yard touchdown plunge. Eastern failed on the two-point conversion, but led 27-13. A Tiger field goal late in the third quarter and an 89-yard touchdown pass from Jeremy Perry to Calvin McNairl in the fourth cut the deficit to 27-22 with 7:56 left to play. Denham’s second touchdown of the game, this time a 29-yard run off another option pitch, with 4:53 on the clock secured the victory. Tennessee State at Eastern Kentucky

MURRAY, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky held off a furious fourth quarter rally by host Murray State and escaped with a 34-33 win Saturday afternoon at Stewart Stadium. The Colonels have now won seven straight meetings over the Racers. EKU scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions in the second half to establish a 34-20 cushion. Junior quarterback T.J. Pryor scored the third touchdown, a one-yard sneak, with 14 minutes left in the game. Murray State quickly responded on its ensuing drive to cut the deficit to 34-27. Racer quarterback Casey Brockman kept the home team alive by finding Ja-Vonta Trotter for an 18-yard touchdown pass on fourth down. After holding the Colonels on downs with eight minutes remaining, Murray State’s offense went right back to work. Running back Mike Harris broke free for a 32-yard scamper to move the Racers into Eastern Kentucky territory. Brockman then hooked up with Trotter on back-toback passes, including a 19-yard touchdown strike, to bring Murray State to within one point, 34-33. However, Brandon Potts missed the point-after attempt wide left allowing EKU to cling to the one-point lead. The Eastern Kentucky offense tried to run out the clock, but had to punt the ball back with 2:22 remaining. Murray State was able to move the ball to midfield before the Colonel defense stiffened. Eastern forced three incompletions from Brockman, one of which came on a 4th-and-6 situation, to secure EKU’s fourth straight OVC victory. Eastern Kentucky was led by junior Matt Denham’s 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Denham has reached 200 yards rushing in three of the last four games. Murray State piled up 530 yards of total offense, the most allowed by the EKU defense this year. Running back Mike Davis tallied a season-high 206 yards on the ground as well as 66 yards receiving.

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Eastern Kentucky trailed by 24 points with 7:25 remaining, but rallied to earn an improbable 52-48 win over No. 18 Jacksonville State Saturday afternoon at Burgess-Snow Field. The game came to an end with JSU getting turned back at the EKU one-yard line. The game featured 1,140 yards of offense, 16 scoring plays, six lead changes and two ties. Junior wide receiver Tyrone Goard caught the game-winning touchdown, a 37-yard reception from junior quarterback T.J. Pryor, with 1:24 remaining. Jacksonville State had one final possession and reached 1st-and-goal at the EKU three-yard line with 17 seconds remaining. However, the Colonels stuffed two running plays to escape with the victory. The Gamecocks managed to build a seemingly comfortable 48-24 lead thanks to numerous Colonel mistakes in the third quarter. The Colonels led at the break, 24-17, only to see JSU turn three Eastern turnovers into 21 points. Eastern Kentucky got the comeback rolling with a 60-yard touchdown pass from Pryor to junior Cameron Bailey. On Jacksonville State’s ensuing possession, the Gamecocks fumbled the ball on an option play and sophomore defensive lineman Anthony Brown returned the football 71 yards for another Eastern touchdown. Now trailing by 10 with 5:23 remaining, 48-38, Eastern Kentucky executed a successful on-sides kick. Four timely plays later, Pryor connected with sophomore Justin Williams for an 18-yard touchdown pass to make the score 48-45 with 4:14 on the clock. From there, Jacksonville State had a chance to run out the clock only to see EKU hold the Gamecocks to a three offensive plays and a punt. Eastern Kentucky took little time to punctuate the rally as Pryor lofted the ball to the right corner of the end zone where Goard leapt above the defense to haul in the 37-yard touchdown pass. Pryor set a program single-game record with five touchdown passes. Eastern Kentucky at #18 Jacksonville State

RICHMOND, Ky. – In a battle for first place in the OVC, visiting Tennessee Tech scored the game-winning touchdown with 6:35 remaining to earn a 28-21 win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon. No. 20 Tennessee Tech (6-3, 5-2 OVC) is now in position to earn its first conference title since 1975. TTU wraps up its regular season next weekend with a home game against Austin Peay. Eastern, which had won five straight entering this game, could not sustain drives the entire game as the Colonels were held to 2-of-13 (15.4 percent) on third-down conversions. EKU recorded just 194 yards of total oﬀense, its second lowest output of the season. With the score tied at 14 coming out of halftime, the Golden Eagles made a pivotal play early in the third quarter. The Colonels were punting with a heavy wind at their backs, but TTU blocked the punt to take possession at the EKU 17-yard line. The Golden Eagles then stuﬀed the ball in the end zone on a 4th-and-1 play to go ahead, 21-14. Eastern Kentucky capitalized on Tennessee Tech’s third turnover to even the score again at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Junior Matt Denham got the Colonels rolling with a 38-yard rush to the TTU 12-yard line. Two plays later, junior quarterback T.J. Pryor lobbed a perfect pass to junior Tyrone Goard in the right corner of the end zone to make the score 21-all. However, Tennessee Tech responded on the ensuing drive with the game-winning score. The Golden Eagles moved the ball 58 yards on 11 plays while converting a pair of third downs, including a 3rd-and-11. Quarterback Tre Lamb finally scored on a four-yard rush. The Colonels moved the ball back to midfield on their final possession, but were forced to punt following a sack on 3rd-and-10. TTU then converted its 10th third down of the contest to help run out the clock. EKU’s Denham reached 100 yards rushing for the sixth straight game as he finished with a game-high 151 rushing yards. Defensive tackle Emory Attig produced a career game with 12 tackles, one sack and two forced fumbles. Tennessee Tech converted 10-of-19 (52.6 percent) third downs and held the ball for 35:11 in its first win at Eastern since 2000.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Junior running back Matt Denham scored the game-winning touchdown with 1:08 remaining to lift Eastern Kentucky to a 23-16 win over UT Martin Saturday at Roy Kidd Stadium. With the win, the Colonels claimed a share of the 2011 Ohio Valley Conference title. However, Tennessee Tech claimed the OVC automatic berth to the FCS playoﬀs with a convincing win over Austin Peay. Eastern Kentucky scored on its first three possessions to take a 13-0 lead. UT Martin’s only score in the first half came on a wind-aided 53-yard field goal. The Skyhawks looked ready for another score late in the second quarter until junior linebacker Kevin Hamlin came away with an interception at the EKU seven-yard line. The Skyhawks quickly turned the game around midway through the third quarter when quarterback Derek Carr hit Stephen Shiver for a 62yard touchdown strike. The Colonels then missed numerous chances to pull away from UT Martin. Eastern was stuﬀed at the UTM one-yard line on 4th-and-goal on the first play of the fourth quarter. Later in the fourth, the Colonels missed on two more field goal attempts including a second blocked field goal with 7:35 remaining. UTM finally took advantage of EKU’s missed opportunities when Carr found a wide open Quentin Sims for a 44-yard touchdown pass with 2:43 left. The Skyhawks missed the PAT which kept the score tied at 16-all. A pivotal UT Martin fumble in the final two minutes gave life back to Eastern Kentucky at the UT Martin 23-yard line. The Colonels would not miss on this chance as the home team found the end zone two plays later. Denham accounted for all 23 yards with a 16-yard rush followed by a seven-yard touchdown scamper around the left end. Eastern’s defense sealed the win with its fourth turnover seconds later thanks to defensive lineman Anthony Brown’s sack and forced fumble. Denham reached 100 yards rushing for the seventh consecutive game as he finished with a career-high 41 carries and 188 yards. UT Martin at Eastern Kentucky

RICHMOND, Ky. – Cameron Starke’s 35-yard field goal as time expired gave James Madison a thrilling 20-17 win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon in the first round of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs at Roy Kidd Stadium. EKU (7-5) was seeking to become the first current Ohio Valley Conference team to notch a playoff victory since Murray State in 1996. EKU led JMU (8-4), 17-7, with 5:55 remaining in the third quarter. However, the Dukes scored 13 unanswered points to finish the game. JMU converted a crucial 4th-and-2 at the EKU 43-yard line with less than two minutes to play to set up Starke’s game-winning kick. Junior Matt Denham led EKU with 125 yards on the ground, the eighth-straight game in which he eclipsed the 100-yard mark. His 66-yard scamper that set up EKU’s only points of the second half was the longest run of his career and EKU’s longest offensive play of the season. JMU had three players rush for more than 70 yards in the game, and the Dukes outgained the Colonels 393-213 overall on the afternoon. James Madison also had a decisive edge in time of possession in the win – 40:30 to 19:30. JMU chewed up over seven minutes of clock to open the second half, but it was all for naught as Starke’s 36-yard field goal attempt went wide right. The Colonels took advantage of the missed field goal, as Denham shed tackles on his way to a 66-yard run to the JMU one-yard line. Banjoman then punched it in from one yard out for his second touchdown of the day to make it 17-7 with 5:55 remaining in the third quarter. The Dukes responded with an 11-play, 5:21 drive to the EKU four-yard line, but the Colonel defense stiffened at the goal line and held JMU to a 21-yard field goal that made it 17-10 with less than a minute to play in the third quarter. After EKU went 3-and-out on its next possession, JMU converted a 26-yard pass play on 3rd-and-13 to set up a 24-yard touchdown run by Anderson that tied the game, 17-17, with 10:01 remaining in the game. James Madison now moves on to face No. 2 seed North Dakota State next Saturday in Fargo, N.D.

The Ohio Valley Conference

Now in its 65th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which begins competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gives the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious Beth DeBauche OVC Commissioner history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. Kyle Schwartz The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, Asst. Commissioner but seeds for the new league were actually for Media Relations planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 64 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns (including sharing the title in 2011), which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them – Eastern Kentucky and Murray State – were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national

championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU’s 20 FCS playoﬀ appearances are the second for the most all-time (behind only Montana). A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. The OVC has had at least one former player named a NFL Pro Bowl selection in four of the past six seasons. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

NCAA FCS History The 2012 year marks the 35th season for the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs, and for a third straight year a 20-team bracket will be used for the championship. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Each of the last four FCS championship games have produced a first-time champion: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010 and North Dakota State in 2011. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 20 teams. Eight teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining 12 teams the following week in the round of 16. Ten conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, MidEastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2012 championship. The remaining 10 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 5, 2013 and mark the third consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Roy Kidd Stadium

Roy Kidd Stadium, Hanger Field and the Robert B. Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the field. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 43-year history. Entering the 2012 season, Eastern has won 200, lost 45, and tied 1 (.815 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for 87 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. A new full-color video scoreboard was unveiled for the stadium in 1999. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms, media interview room and a modern training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoﬀ appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by fifth-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2012 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads.

Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17-of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid oﬀ as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when AllAmerican nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiﬀened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead.

1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year.

“The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and AllAmerican candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records fell for the

In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979.

1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel oﬀensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special.

With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game.

“That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the diﬀerence being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a gamewinning field goal.

Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 allpurpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always aﬀable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.”

Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982.

As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.”

1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the gamewinning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national runner-up trophy.

The second round of the playoffs found Eastern hosting the big, fast, talented Tennessee State Tigers who featured arguably one of the best teams to ever play at Hanger Field with players like defensive end Richard Dent, running back James Hunter and fullback Larry Kinnebrew on the roster. Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season. Can we say the word DYNASTY?

unheard-of three fourth-down conversions, including one fourthdown run by fullback Nicky Yeast that netted eight inches on a fourth and six-inch situation. In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

George Floyd (inducted 1999)

Roy Kidd (inducted 2003)

George Floyd, former defensive back for Eastern Kentucky University from 1978-81, was among the 1999 Divisional Class of Inductees for the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame. Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89).

The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoﬀ appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn.

All-Time Roster

Editor’s Note The following list was compiled from various sources during the spring of 2007. Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the Athletic Public Relations oﬃce.

100 Years of Football

EKU Athletics Hall of Fame

The Eastern Kentucky University Department of Athletics celebrated 100 Years of Football: A Century of Excellence in the fall of 2009.

On Dec. 14, 2005, Eastern Kentucky University announced the creation of an Athletics Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Friday, Oct. 27 with the inductees also honored the next day at the home football game against Eastern Illinois. Including the 2012 induction class, there are 33 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Kevin Greve, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliﬀ Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.
