All three Lexington network television stations (WTVQ-36, WKYT-27 and WLEX-18) cover EKU home football games at Roy Kidd Stadium.

Radio Coverage Radio station WCYO (100.7 on the FM dial) will serve as the flagship station for the 2013 EKU Football Network. WCYO “The Coyote” is the flagship station for Wallingford Broadcasting of Richmond and Irvine. With 25,000 watts of power, The Coyote signal reaches more than 625,000 people. This year’s broadcast team will again be headed by longtime play-by-play announcer Greg Stotelmyer, who will be serving his 31st season as “The Voice of the Colonels” and his 35th season overall covering EKU football. Stotelmyer is currently the reporter in Kentucky for Public News Service, a nationwide organization which advocates journalism in the public interest through a network of state based news services. He also teaches the sports writing and reporting class in the EKU Department of Communication. Joining Stotelmyer in the booth as the analyst for his first season will be Carl Hayden, a former Colonel who played defensive back for Eastern from 2002-05. Sean Hamilton, a second generation EKU football radio personality, will report from the sidelines for the third straight year after serving 13 of the previous 15 seasons as the engineer for the football radio broadcasts. In addition to the radio broadcasts, the EKU Football Network features pre-game interviews with coaches and players, and Hood joins Stotelmyer on the field after each game for the informative Coach Dean Hood Post-Game Show. www.EKUSports.com Eastern Kentucky’s Athletic Department unveiled a redesigned web site in the summer of 2011. The site, which has been powered by Sidearm Sports since 2008, features the latest news on all the EKU athletic teams. Live stats, feature stories, rosters, photo galleries, highlight and feature videos, and up-to-date schedules are just a few of the things that can be easily accessed through the site. The site also features streaming audio for each football game, streaming video for all home games, press conference video clips and breaking news as it happens. Fans can also sign up for an e-mail newsletter service through the site that will allow them to stay up-to-date on all their favorite Colonel squads. Perhaps the best feature for EKU fans is the fact that audio from all football games will be streamed live via EKUSports.com at no charge to the fan.

The University

Eastern Kentucky University is a regional, coeducational, public institution of higher education offering general and liberal arts programs, pre-professional and professional training in education and various other fields at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Located in Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky, Eastern has a distinguished record of more than a century of educational service to the Commonwealth. History – The Kentucky General Assembly of 1906 enacted legislation establishing the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School. Governor J.C. Beckham signed the bill into law on March 21, 1906. On May 7 of that year, the Normal School Commission, meeting in Louisville, selected the campus of the old Central University, founded in 1874 in Richmond, as the site of the new school. On June 2, 1906, Ruric Nevel Roark was chosen President of the Normal School and the training of teachers was begun. In 1922, Eastern became a four-year institution known as the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College. The first degrees were awarded by this institution in 1925. In 1928, the College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1930, the General Assembly renamed the school the Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College. In 1935, a graduate program was approved at Eastern, leading to the Master of Arts degree in Education. In 1948, the General Assembly removed the word “Teachers” from the name of the college and granted the college the right to award nonprofessional degrees. The most significant day since its founding came for Eastern on February 26, 1966, when Governor Edward T. Breathitt signed into law a bill renaming the institution Eastern Kentucky University and sanctioning the awarding of graduate degrees in academic fields other than education. During this period of time, Eastern Kentucky University has increased rapidly in size and stature. Beginning with a few students engaged in short review and certificate courses, the University today serves thousands of Kentuckians. The curriculum leads to associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees, and an expanding graduate program that currently offers degrees at the master’s level in many other fields as well as the already well-established Master of Arts degree in Education and the various fifth- and sixth-year leadership programs in education, psychology, and technology. In addition to these programs, Eastern offers joint doctoral programs with cooperating institutions. Purpose – Within its statutory responsibilities, Eastern Kentucky University seeks to provide intellectual and cultural opportunities that will develop habits of scholarship and intellectual curiosity, provide a deep understanding of American democracy and the citizen’s role in maintaining its strength and vitality, impart an understanding of humans and their aspirations, enable effective and efficient communication, and prepare productive and responsible citizens. The University will remain responsive and flexible in order to serve in unique and needed ways. Within these general responsibilities and purposes, the University is dedicated to three specific functions – high-quality instruction, scholarship, and service, and places emphasis on the three in that order. Through its colleges and schools, the University seeks to offer quality instruction at a variety of degree levels in general education, the arts, the sciences, business, education, pre-professional and professional areas, and applied and technical disciplines. Through consultative services, continuing education, and the extended campus, the University seeks to provide service to the community and the region. Research seeks both to advance knowledge in the subject matter areas with which the University is concerned and to support the primary function of teaching.

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

The Eastern Kentucky University football team is accustomed to playing playoff football. The Colonels have qualified for the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs 20 times, second most by any program at this level. However, the Colonels were left out of the 2012 FCS playoffs even with an 8-3 record and now have to regroup for 2013. Lots of new faces Ohio Valley Conference Titles will fill the depth chart No. Last heading into preseason 1. Eastern Kentucky 21 2011 camp as 11 starters 2. Tennessee Tech 10 2011 from the 2012 squad 8 2002 were seniors including 3. Murray State 6 2012 three key positions on 4. Eastern Illinois 5. Jacksonville State 3 2011 offense – quarterback, 2 1999 running back and wide 6. Tennessee State 7. Austin Peay 1 1977 receiver. Southeast Missouri 1 2010 “We lost a lot of UT Martin 1 2006 production,” EKU *current members only head coach Dean Hood said. “If you put it down on paper and looked at it, you could make yourself nauseous. I think one thing that has helped us is we lost a lot of production, but we didn’t lose a lot of human beings. I think our redshirting [philosophy] is finally starting to show some fruit.” Since Hood took over as head coach in 2008, the Colonels have won two OVC titles and 29 league games. Both of those numbers are tops among the nine OVC football teams. Even with so many new starters set to line up for the Colonels this year, the goal as always will be to win the league championship and qualify for the FCS playoffs.

Fellow redshirt freshman Jared Sanders is a change of pace runner who brings loads of speed to the position. Sanders posted a team-high 102 yards rushing and averaged 6.0 yards per carry in the spring game. A fourth option could be newcomer Thomas Owens. In the second quarter of the spring game, the redshirt freshman exploded for a 62-yard rushing touchdown. “We had a bunch of guys run well in the spring and I certainly expect one or two players to step up in the fall,” Hood said. Junior Jeremy James and senior Roman Lawson give the Colonels two quality fullbacks. James has been the primary fullback the last two years. Lawson, a transfer from Miami (Ohio), will also push for playing time. At tight end, senior Matt Lengel is expected to return following an early season-ending injury in 2012. Fellow senior Nathan Watts stepped up his role last year with 13 pass receptions. Watts gives EKU some flexibility to line up in the h-back position. Eastern Kentucky lost its top two wide receivers from 2012, but there is plenty of untapped talent ready to challenge opposing defenses. Senior Ike Ariguzo, who totaled 18 receptions as a junior, is projected to be one of the starters. Sophomore Jeff Glover, the other projected starter, put on quite a show in the spring game with eight catches for 214 yards. Fellow redshirt freshman Devin Borders is another tall receiver who should see plenty of playing time in 2013. Ariguzo, Glover and Borders all stand at least 6-4 in height. Throw Lengel into the mix, who is 6-7, and the Colonels have a very tall receiving group. Three starters return on the offensive line headed by senior allconference left guard Justin Meredith. Fellow senior Travon Carter is expected to push for all-conference honors at right guard. The center position will be a battle between returning starter Austin Jaggers and junior Dustin Crane. Jaggers, a senior and converted defensive lineman, started every game at center last year. A pair of younger players will be asked to step up at tackle. Sophomore Brett Eyckmans had to fill in at right tackle for six games as a true freshman due to injuries. This year, he is slated to move to left tackle. Josh Minor, a sophomore who saw action in most games last year, will line up at right tackle. “Even though we lost a pair of All-American caliber players at tackle, I don’t feel as bad as that sounds because of Minor and Eyckmans,” Hood said.

The Offense There may be plenty of changes in personnel on offense, but the philosophy will remain the same this fall – run the football. “Power will still be our number one running play,” Hood said. “That being said, there are a lot of different ways to run the ball. We have a lot of speed out on the perimeter. A play like the fly sweep will make defending our inside running even more difficult.” Gone are the all-time leading passer in EKU history (T.J. Pryor), a potential NFL wide receiver (Tyrone Goard) and a Walter Payton Award candidate at running back (Matt Denham). If the spring game is any indication, there are lots of potential game changers ready to fill those critical voids. Expected to lead the offense at quarterback will be Jared McClain. The junior has seen plenty of action in his two previous years on the squad including starts at Purdue in 2012 and Kansas State in 2011. McClain saw action in every game as a sophomore and led Eastern on three scoring drives in the win at Southeast Missouri. He can run and pass as he finished with three passing touchdowns and two rushing scores last fall. Redshirt freshman Kyle Romano is slated to be the second string quarterback. Romano completed 12-of-20 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in the spring game. A Rivals.com two-star recruit out of Texas, Romano was a unanimous first team all-district quarterback as a senior prepster. Three or four candidates could be used to replace Denham at running back. Junior Caleb Watkins, who has been used in a variety of roles in his time at EKU, heads into preseason camp as the number one back. He was mainly used as a fullback last year, but understands the offensive system quite well. Redshirt freshman JJ Jude will likely see time in the backfield as well. Jude completed his high school career as the all-time leading rusher in Kentucky with 8,633 yards at Johnson Central High.

The Defense The front seven in EKU’s 4-3 defense has the look to be one of the best in Hood’s six years as head coach. Five of the seven are returning starters and three earned All-OVC honors a year ago. “I think we are in really good shape right there,” Hood said. “We may even have some redshirt freshmen come in and push for playing time.” Two all-conference selections headline the linebacker unit. Senior Anthony Brown, a two-time All-OVC first team pick, may push for OVC Defensive Player of the Year honors this fall. Brown finished second in the league with 12.5 tackles for loss at outside linebacker last year. Vance, a third-year starter at middle linebacker and two-time all-conference selection, is a steady player who has notched 159 career tackles. Sophomore Marquise Piton (outside) and senior Tyler Horn (middle) give the Colonels some quality depth behind Brown and Vance. Juniors Tyrelle Johnson and Khiry Maddox are expected to compete for the weakside linebacker position. Both players have been key reserves and utilized on special teams for the past two seasons. On the defensive line, seniors Shawn Shupperd and David Carter give the Colonels an excellent inside-outside combination.

Season Outlook

and posted three pass break-ups. Northington began his redshirt season at wide receiver before moving over to the defensive side of the ball late in the fall. Senior Theron Norman and sophomore Deno Montgomery offer some experience and depth to the cornerback spot. Norman, who joined the team as a safety from Virginia Tech last year, switched to corner back this past spring. The Special Teams Eastern Kentucky’s top two special team contributors are both seniors in 2013. Senior Jordan Berry will be in his fourth year serving as the team’s punter and holder on field goals. The two-time All-OVC honoree set an EKU single-season punting 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. Fellow senior Luke Pray is expected to handle the majority of the other kicking duties. Pray has converted 17-of-34 field goal attempts in two years for the Colonels, but concluded last year making five of his final seven tries. Sophomore Zack Burgy-VanHoose played occasionally last year and will push Pray for playing time. Burgy-VanHoose made a team season-long 45-yard field goal in the win at Southeast Missouri a year ago. Pray connected on a 53-yard field goal in the spring game while Burgy-VanHoose stepped up with a 43-yarder. “This is the best I’ve ever felt about [our field goal kickers] because I’m seeing the production on the field out of our guys,” Hood said.

Junior safety Brandon Stanley is one of five All-OVC returnees on the 2013 roster.

Shupperd, who plays on the end, earned second team all-league accolades as a junior after leading the team with 16 quarterback hurries. Carter is a third-year starter in the trenches and has the ability to compete for All-OVC honors in his final year on the squad. “This was the first season that Shawn was able to play in the spring due to injuries and surgical stuff,” Hood said. “He really improved and I think he will be a real force this year.” Sophomore Bryce Krebs will team with Carter at the other tackle position. Seniors Anthony Shoemaker and Ryan Bonner are the most likely candidates to nail down the final spot on the defensive line. Shoemaker served as a back-up to All-OVC defensive end Robert Knowles last year. Bonner has filled in at tackle and end throughout his career at EKU. A pair of redshirt freshmen – Avery Pitt (tackle) and Justin Adekoya (end) – will push for playing time on the line. The biggest area of concern for the football team this year involves the defensive backfield. Three of the four major contributors in 2012 were seniors. “I’ve joked with [defensive coordinator] Tony Hatmaker several times throughout the spring that that’s the deepest, most talented question mark position I’ve ever seen in my life,” Hood said. “We are a little more confident of what we’re going to get at safety than the corner position, but I like a bunch of guys back there.” Junior all-conference performer Brandon Stanley is the leader of the group. The safety notched a team-high 81 tackles as a sophomore and always seems to be around the football. Senior Christian Albertson will attempt to put his name on the other starting safety position. Albertson has been a key reserve in his two other seasons playing at Eastern. Junior transfer Chris Owens, who missed the spring game with a minor injury, has impressed the coaching staff and will be in the hunt for playing time at safety as well. Sophomore Paul Ritter is a fourth member who plans to keep his name in the safety mix. Sophomore Stanley Absanon and redshirt freshman Kiante Northington are penciled in as the top two cornerbacks heading into preseason camp. Absanon saw action in all 11 games last year

The Schedule The Colonels are lined up to play 12 teams in 2013, marking the first time in 10 years that EKU will play this many games in the regular season. Eastern Kentucky has six home games on the schedule including Homecoming, which is slated for Oct. 19 against Tennessee Tech. Eastern opens the season with a rare Thursday night home game against Robert Morris on Aug. 29. The last time EKU began the year with a home Thursday night game was Sept. 2, 1993 versus Western Kentucky. The following week, the Colonels face a potential top-10 FBS team in Louisville. The Cardinals have won the last two meetings including a 23-13 decision in 2010. “We appreciate the opportunity to play Louisville,” Hood said. “It’s not too many times you can say you are going to play a top10 [FBS] team. We are going to show up and play the game.” After two more non-conference games against Coastal Carolina (Sept. 14) and Morehead State (Sept. 21), Eastern Kentucky begins Ohio Valley Conference action on Sept. 28 with a showdown at 2012 league champion Eastern Illinois. The Panthers used a 24-7 victory over the Colonels last year to catapult themselves into the FCS playoffs. The Colonels will celebrate EKU Athletics Hall of Fame Weekend on Oct. 5 against Austin Peay. The other two home games are scheduled for Nov. 2 against Tennessee State and Nov. 16 versus UT Martin. TSU is 3-1 against Eastern under Hood, including a last-second 23-20 win in Nashville last fall. UT Martin has never won in Richmond, dropping all 11 tilts. The NCAA FCS playoffs expand from 20 to 24 teams in 2013 and will feature 16 teams playing in the opening round on Nov. 30.

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. EKU unveiled a new mascot that was ready

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 49 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 • 6th Year at EKU (34-23)

Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986 u 2011 AFCA Regional Coach of the Year u 2008 OVC Coach of the Year u 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 five 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 eight AllAmericans, one OVC Defensive Player of the Year and 24 first team all-conference performers in Hood’s five years on the EKU sidelines. This past fall, the Colonels led the league with 13 total selections across the first-team, second-team and All-Newcomer OVC squads. Hood, 49, 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.

The couple has four children – two sons, Trey and Daven, and two daughters, Jada and Cordia.

What Others Are Saying About Dean Hood “It doesn’t get any better than Dean Hood. He is not only a great football coach, but just as good a person. He was invaluable to our success at Wake. He not only did a great job with our defense, but more importantly,was a great team member. Dean is totally unselfish and his whole concern is with the well-being of the players. He has the ability to get kids to be real good football players on the field and also to be great citizens off the field. We’ll miss Dean, but I couldn’t be happier for him.” --Jim Grobe, Head Coach, Wake Forest University “It was an honor to play for Coach Hood. I can’t say enough good things about him.

fifth 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 under Damron two years ago from a spread scheme to a power rushing attack. The change brought significant results as running back Matt Denham finished among the top-10 nationally in rushing in both 2011 and 2012. Even with a run-oriented offense, the Colonels were able to score at least 30 points in six games last year, including twice reaching the 50-point mark. However, the EKU offense will have to reload this fall as Denham, quarterback T.J. Pryor and wide receivers Tyrone Goard and Cameron Bailey have all finished their collegiate careers. “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 (13) and Derek (nine).

again serve as the linebackers coach in 2013. The linebacker corps could once again be one of the most dynamic on the field this year for the Colonels. Returning to the unit are a pair of two-time All-OVC picks in seniors Anthony Brown and Ichiro Vance. Brown and Vance both have more than 150 career tackles to their credit. Brown should be one of the leading candidates for OVC Defensive Player of the Year this fall. 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 (199801) 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. In the summer of 2012, Fisher was selected to participate in the NCAA and NFL Coaches Academy in Dallas. He also spent some of that summer doing a minority internship program with the New Orleans Saints. Fisher has five children – Amari (nine), Rece (seven), Gianna (one) and newborn twins, Garry III and Terry. He married the former Lucretia Hughes, who has one child – Tseday (10), in 2010.

Ben Hodges Alma Mater: Central College (Iowa), 2006 Ben Hodges, who is in his eighth year on the Colonel coaching staff, was promoted to tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2011. “I think Ben has a very bright future in the business,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He studies the game and wants to be a good football coach.” Eastern Kentucky’s tight ends have played a more prominent role in the offense since a switch to a power rushing attack in 2011. Two key seniors headline the tight end group – Matt Lengel and Nathan Watts. Lengel, who is recovering from a knee injury, has the potential to earn All-OVC accolades in 2013. 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.

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

Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 2002

Carson Jeffers is in his sixth year on the Eastern coaching staff and fifth season as the offensive line coach. He also serves as the team’s NFL liaison. Three starters return to the EKU offensive line in 2013, including All-OVC senior guard Justin Meredith. Since the Colonels switched to a power rushing attack in 2011, the offense has averaged almost 215 yards per game on the ground. “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 (five) and Chloe (one).

Former Colonel Jake Johnson is in his

ing staff and ninth 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 14 defensive linemen earn All-OVC honors since 2005 including two players last fall – Shawn Shupperd and Robert Knowles. Shupperd and fellow senior David Carter are expected to anchor the defensive line in 2013. Sophomore Bryce Krebs gives the Colonels a third returning starter on the line. EKU ranked ninth nationally in rushing defense in 2012, allowing only 108 yards per game on the ground. 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 (three) and Zoey (two).

year as the wide receivers coach. Lots of new faces will fill the wide receiver spots this year as both of last year’s starters – Tyrone Goard and Cameron Bailey – have graduated. Goard earned All-OVC accolades in 2012 and went on to sign a free agent deal with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals. One player who may be on the cusp of a breakout season is sophomore Jeff Glover, who posted 214 receiving yards in the spring game. “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 17 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 ninth consecutive year that Revere will be in charge of the running backs, a position which is in flux due to the loss of two-time All-OVC performer Matt Denham. A handful of young players hope to pick up the slack in Denham’s absence. Junior Caleb Watkins and redshirt freshman J.J. Jude were the leading candidates to carry the ball after the conclusion of the spring practice season. Two-other redshirt freshmen – Thomas Owens and Jared Sanders – give the Colonels plenty of quality depth at a key position. Owens tallied a 62-yard scoring run in the spring game while Sanders posted a team-high 102 yards in the scrimmage. Two-year starter Jeremy James as well as Roman Lawson will serve as the fullbacks. Besides his coaching duties, Revere serves as the football team’s liaison for housing and its community service director. Revere was honored by the American Football Coaches Associaton (AFCA) in 2012 as the FCS Assistant Coach of the Year. The Assistant Coach of the Year award was first presented in 1997 and was created to honor assistant coaches who excel in community service, commitment to the student-athlete, on-field coaching success and AFCA professional organization involvement. 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

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Host Purdue raced out to a 20-0 lead and never looked back as the Boilermakers cruised to a 48-6 victory over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon. The Boilermakers racked up 547 yards of offense against the Colonels, but EKU did manage to force five turnovers. Purdue pounced quickly with back-to-back touchdowns in a span of 52 seconds midway through the first quarter. The Boilermakers took their second drive 87 yards in six plays for a 6-0 lead. An Akeem Shavers 34-yard run around the right end keyed the drive. Two plays into Eastern’s ensuing drive, Purdue safety Landon Feichter intercepted Jared McClain’s tipped pass and returned the ball 34 yards for another score. Early in the second quarter, Purdue extended its cushion to 20-0 behind a seven-yard touchdown run from Kurt Freytag. Eastern Kentucky finally responded with three straight big plays to get on the board. Senior Tyrone Goard’s 16-yard catch on third down kept the drive alive. McClain then hit senior wide receiver Cameron Bailey for 24 yards to the Purdue 30-yard line. Senior running back Matt Denham finished the drive with a 30-yard touchdown run straight up the middle of the field. The Colonels had a chance to creep even closer following senior Brooklyn Fox’s second interception. However, Eastern had to settle for a 38-yard field goal attempt, which was blocked. From that point, the Boilermaker offense turned up the heat again, scoring touchdowns on their final two possessions of the half to take a 34-6 lead into intermission. Purdue totaled 325 yards of offense in the first half and scored in all four trips into the red zone. Eastern Kentucky started three possessions inside Purdue territory in the second half, but could not come away with any more points. The Colonels punted on one possession and had turnovers on the other two drives. This was the first ever meeting between the two teams and just EKU’s second ever game against a Big Ten opponent. Purdue head coach Danny Hope, a former Eastern Kentucky player and head coach, guided the Colonels to the 2007 OVC title before taking the job at Purdue. #18 Eastern

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky out-gained Morehead State by 273 yards on the ground on its way to a methodical 24-17 victory at Roy Kidd Stadium Saturday evening. Senior running back Matt Denham, a Walter Payton Award candidate, carried the ball 34 times for 166 yards and eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark for his career. The Colonels totaled 282 yards rushing and limited the Eagles to nine yards on the ground. On Eastern’s final possession of the first half, Denham hit his career milestone. On 2nd-and-5, the senior broke the 2,000-yard rushing plateau with a five-yard gainer. The Rineyville, Ky., native had 116 yards on 24 first half carries. On MSU’s first possession of the second half, quarterback Zach Lewis engineered a 10-play drive that covered 76 yards in only 2:16. He capped it with a 23-yard touchdown toss and the extra-point tied the score 10-10. The Colonels came right back and took the lead for good. The drive appeared to stall when quarterback T.J. Pryor was sacked for an eight-yard loss, but on 3rd-and-17 he connected with junior wide out Ike Ariguzo for 41 yards to the Morehead State 21-yard line. Ariguzo out-leaped a defender to haul in the pass. Denham finished it off with four straight carries, the last finding pay dirt from two yards out. Safety Brandon Stanley stopped the Eagles’ next possession with his first career sack. As Lewis rolled out of the pocket to his left on 3rdand-10, the safety closed from behind and took the quarterback down for a four-yard loss. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Colonels marched 80 yards on 12 plays to put the game away. Eleven of the plays were on the ground. Junior Zavier Foster carried nine times for 47 yards including a six-yard plunge for a touchdown. Morehead State put together another quick drive, moving 64 yards in five plays over 1:22. Another Lewis to Thomas touchdown with 2:46 left to play cut the lead to seven. However, on the ensuing drive Foster converted a 4th-and-1 allowing Pryor to take a knee to kill the clock. Pryor was 13-for-22 for 148 yards and one touchdown. Foster added 81 rushing yards on 16 carries.

CONWAY, S.C. – Eastern Kentucky wrapped up its non-conference schedule with a convincing 35-17 victory over host Coastal Carolina Saturday night. This was the first ever meeting between the OVC and Big South teams. Senior running back Matt Denham tallied two touchdowns, including his first collegiate scoring catch. Meanwhile, senior quarterback T.J. Pryor ran for a score and found fellow senior Tyrone Goard for a 77yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Eastern never trailed and jumped out to a 7-0 lead on its opening drive. Sophomore Jared McClain, who played the first three series at quarterback, found Denham behind the defense for a 32-yard touchdown pass. After Coastal Carolina responded with a touchdown drive on its first possession, EKU took the lead for good in the second quarter. The Colonels moved 76 yards methodically down the field and capped the drive with a Pryor one-yard sneak on 4th-and-goal. The Chanticleers tried a bit of trickery later in the quarter, but to no avail. Lining up for a 44-yard field goal attempt, Coastal Carolina instead attempted a pass which came up inches shy of the first down. Eastern Kentucky capitalized two plays later when Pryor hit Goard for the 77-yard touchdown strike to stretch the lead to 21-7. In the third quarter, Coastal slashed the lead to 21-14 thanks to a Matt Hazel five-yard touchdown catch on 3rd-and-goal. However, the Colonels immediately struck back with another grueling drive, this time 13 plays for 73 yards. Pryor had a key third down run for 21 yards and Denham followed with a six-yard touchdown run. Eastern Kentucky put the game away midway through the fourth quarter when junior Deshaun Sands found pay dirt with a one-yard run. The Colonel defense was particularly stout in the final period, coming away with a fumble recovery and forcing a turnover on downs. Sophomore defensive back Brandon Stanley led the EKU defense with nine tackles and one pass-break up. Senior defensive back Justin Bell added five stops, two forced fumbles and three pass break-ups. #20 Eastern

Pryor got EKU on the board by capping the team’s first possession with a 28-yard touchdown toss to senior running back Matt Denham. With Eastern Kentucky in front 14-0 early in the second quarter, the Gamecocks cut the deficit to six with an eight-play, 74-yard scoring drive. Coty Blanchard completed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Cheeks and Jerry Slota ran in for the two-point conversion. The Colonels scored on their next possession, starting a streak of 20 unanswered points. Senior wide out Tyrone Goard hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass from Pryor to get it started. Pryor also completed scoring strikes of 18 and three yards to finish off the second quarter. Pryor finished the first half 12-for-17 for 218 yards to go along with his four touchdown passes. After Jacksonville State put seven on the board with 4:23 left in the third quarter, Denham answered with a career-long 73-yard touchdown run to push the lead back to 29 points. Any hope of a fourth quarter Gamecock comeback faded when senior defensive back Cejay Ceniza intercepted his second pass of the game at the EKU 16 and returned it 84 yards down the visitors sideline for a touchdown. The extra-point made it 51-15 with 14:45 left in the game. The Colonels combined for 327 yards on the ground. Denham carried 24 times for 218 yards, two touchdowns on the ground and one through the air. Junior running back Deshaun Sands had 46 yards on 14 carries. #24 Jacksonville

MARTIN, Tenn. – Eastern Kentucky trailed host UT Martin midway through the third quarter, 16-7, before storming back for a 28-16 victory. The No. 19 Colonels now stand at 4-1 overall for the first time since 1999. Senior wide receiver Tyrone Goard tied a program record with four touchdown receptions. His 78-yard scoring catch from fellow senior T.J. Pryor with 8:57 remaining gave EKU the lead for good, 21-16. Goard totaled career highs in receptions (seven) and receiving yards (175) to go along with the four scoring catches. Pryor set a program record of his own as he moved into first place on Eastern Kentucky’s all-time passing list. The native of Louisville, Ky., now has 6,085 career passing yards thanks to his 211 yards passing and three touchdown tosses at UT Martin. UT Martin used a couple of big plays on third downs to take a 13-7 lead into halftime. Midway through the third quarter, the Skyhawks had a 1st-and-goal situation only to see the Colonels hold UT Martin to a field goal which extended the lead to 16-7. Eastern Kentucky’s offense finally came to life on the ensuing possession. Junior tight end Nathan Watts (29 yards) and junior wide out Ike Ariguzo (12 yards) each came away with key receptions on third down to extend the drive. Sophomore quarterback Jared McClain then found Goard for a 25-yard touchdown strike to slice the deficit to just two points, 16-14. The play of the game came two possessions later for the Colonels. Facing a 3rd-and-21, Pryor found Goard streaking down the left sideline for the 78-yard touchdown pass. Eastern’s defense held UT Martin to minus-five yards on the following drive. The Skyhawk punter fumbled the snap on the punt attempt, allowing the Colonels to take over at the UTM 29-yard line. Three quick plays later, Pryor put an exclamation point on the day with a perfect 27-yard touchdown lob to Goard at the far pylon. After the Skyhawks took the 16-7 lead, the Colonel defense held UT Martin to just 61 yards on the final five possessions. Senior linebacker Kevin Hamlin posted a season-high eight stops and a sack to pace EKU. #19 Eastern

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee State quarterback Michael German scored on a oneyard sneak with eight seconds remaining to give the host Tigers a hard-fought 23-20 victory over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon at Hale Stadium. With the win, TSU improves to 6-0 overall for the first time since 2001. Eastern Kentucky took a 20-10 lead early in the fourth quarter thanks to a 30-yard field goal by junior Luke Pray. However, Tennessee State responded with touchdowns on its last two possessions to earn the win. TSU running back Trabis Ward notched a three-yard touchdown run with 8:49 remaining to cut the deficit to 20-16. The Tigers missed the extra point. On that drive, Tennessee State converted a 3rd-and-17 with a 28yard pass to Weldon Garlington. The Colonels tried to run out the clock on their next drive, but failed to convert a 4th-and-9 at the Tiger 32-yard line with 2:44 on the clock. From there, the Tigers quickly moved the ball down the field. Two pass plays from German, one to Travis James and one to Ward, helped TSU reach the Eastern 12-yard line. Tennessee State then converted a 4th-and-1 at the EKU three-yard line with 12 seconds left. One play later, German pushed the offensive line into the end zone for the winning score. Tennessee State capitalized on a couple of EKU special teams mistakes to take a 10-7 lead into halftime. The Colonels missed a 24-yard field goal attempt early in the second quarter that would have given Eastern a 10-0 edge. A few minutes later, senior defensive back Justin Bell fumbled a Tennessee State punt at the EKU 24-yard line. The Tigers turned that miscue into a touchdown to level the game at 7-all. Eastern Kentucky scored on its first three touches in the second half to regain the lead at 20-10. Senior running back Matt Denham tallied a fouryard scoring run while Pray added two field goals (21, 30 yards). Denham reached 100 yards rushing for the 12th time in the last 14 games with 114 yards. He also added a 32-yard reception. Quarterback T.J. Pryor was 12-for-23 through the air for 230 yards, one touchdown and one interception. #16 Eastern

RICHMOND, Ky. – Senior quarterback T.J. Pryor added two more records to the one he already held as Eastern Kentucky rolled to a 45-14 victory over Austin Peay Saturday afternoon at Roy Kidd Stadium. Typically, completing your first seven passes – two of which were for touchdowns – and leading your team to scores on four of its first five possessions for a 28-7 halftime lead is impressive on its own.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Eastern Kentucky blitzed host Tennessee Tech for 22 straight points in the fourth quarter to earn a 42-28 win Saturday night at Tucker Stadium. Tennessee Tech scored 11 seconds into the fourth quarter to take a 28-20 lead, but from that point on Eastern Kentucky controlled the game. The Colonels responded with a 14-play drive to tally the tying touchdown. Senior Tyrone Goard’s 24-yard catch and fellow senior Matt Denham’s 17-yard run helped the drive along. Junior Deshaun Sands finally found the end zone on a 4th-and-1 play. Eastern’s defense came away with a turnover three plays later. Facing a 3rd-and-11, senior Justin Bell blitzed off the left side and forced an errant throw from TTU quarterback Tre Lamb. Senior Cejay Ceniza was in perfect position to haul in the interception and returned the ball to the Golden Eagle 27-yard line. Junior wide receiver Ike Ariguzo then made a juggling 28-yard touchdown catch off a perfect pass from senior T.J. Pryor to give the Colonels the lead with 7:01 left, 35-28. On Tennessee Tech’s next possession, it took just one play for the Eastern Kentucky defense to force another turnover. Junior linebacker Ichiro Vance tipped a TTU pass attempt which landed perfectly in senior Brooklyn Fox’s lap. Fox returned the pick to the home team’s 34-yard line to give the Colonels another golden opportunity for a score. Senior wide receiver Cameron Bailey cashed in on Tennessee Tech’s mistake when Pryor found him wide open in the end zone for a 38-yard scoring strike. That play put the game away and made the score, 42-28. Tennessee Tech led throughout much of the first three quarters, mainly on the big pass play. Eastern Kentucky struggled to find some consistency on offense through the first three quarters before converting 5-of-7 (71.4 percent) third downs in the final period and racking up 163 yards of offense on 26 plays. Meanwhile, Tech managed just seven yards on nine plays for the entire quarter.

process. On Eastern’s first offensive play, Pryor hit a wide open Cameron Bailey for an 84-yard scoring pass. That tied the school mark of 46 career touchdown passes held by Jim Guice (1964-68). In the second quarter, Pryor hooked up with fellow senior Tyrone Goard from 28 yards out to break the record and give the Colonels a 21-0 lead. Pryor’s second touchdown pass was his sixth straight completion to start the game and the 479th of his career. That completion broke Josh Greco’s (2004-07) school record of 478 completions. Two weeks ago in a victory over UT Martin, Pryor broke Eastern’s record for career passing yards. On EKU’s next possession, senior running back Matt Denham ran it in from five yards out, his second scoring run of the game, and the Colonels’ fourth score in their first five possessions. Eastern Kentucky rolled up 302 yards of offense in the first half, outgaining the Governors by 87 yards despite holding the ball for four fewer minutes. EKU’s four scoring drives were on one, nine, six and two plays. Two of the drives lasted 11 and 48 seconds. Senior defensive back Justin Bell’s 16-yard interception return for a touchdown with 9:21 left in the third quarter gave the Colonels a 35-7 lead and put the game away. Jake Ryan accounted for both of Austin Peay’s scores. He completed a four-yard pass to Darryl Clack in the second quarter and a 38-yard touchdown pass to Mikhail Creech in the third quarter.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Visiting Eastern Illinois came into Roy Kidd Stadium and dominated the second half to earn a 24-7 win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon. Eastern Kentucky’s offense sputtered all afternoon long as the Colonels were held to a season-low 81 yards rushing as well as 3-of-18 (16.7 percent) on third downs. EKU entered the contest averaging 201 yards rushing per game and was ranked eighth nationally in thirddown conversions at 50.4 percent. EIU quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had a great showing, completing 32-of-51 passes for 266 yards and one touchdown. Running back Jake Walker chipped in with 21 carries for 119 yards and a score. The first half was a defensive struggle for both teams. The Panthers got on the board first when Walker found the end zone on a one-yard run. Eastern Kentucky responded right before halftime when running back Matt Denham rumbled in with a four-yard scoring run. Eastern Illinois then scored on its first two possessions of the second half to take control of the game. The Panthers converted three third downs on their first possession, plus a 4th-and-2 play, before Taylor Duncan capped the 16-play drive with a one-yard score. Cameron Berra added a 41-yard field goal midway through the third quarter to extend the lead to 17-7. Early in the fourth quarter, EIU moved 91 yards in 10 plays to make the score 24-7. Garoppolo found Erik Lora in the corner of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown pass with 12:08 remaining.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Eastern Kentucky stayed alive in the race for a spot in the NCAA FCS playoffs with a convincing 31-7 victory over host Southeast Missouri Saturday afternoon at Houck Stadium. The Colonel defense kept SEMO off the board until the Redhawks’ final drive of the game. Eastern forced three Southeast Missouri turnovers and twice held the Redhawks on fourth down tries. Senior defensive back Brooklyn Fox led EKU with his team-leading sixth interception while also recovering a fumble. Eastern Kentucky got on the board on its first possession following Fox’s interception which he returned to the SEMO eight-yard line. Senior running back Matt Denham converted a 4th-and-goal from the one-yard line to put the Colonels on top, 7-0. In the second quarter, a big pass play from sophomore quarterback Jared McClain to senior Tyrone Goard moved the ball to the Redhawk 24-yard line. Two plays later, junior running back Deshaun Sands burst through the left side of the line for a 20-yard score to push the lead to 17-0 at halftime. McClain engineered two scoring drives in the third quarter to make the score 31-0. He scored on a three-yard boot-leg to cap a nine-play, 60-yard drive and then scrambled out of pressure for another three-yard score at the end of the quarter. For the game, McClain finished 8-of-11 passing for 138 yards while adding 24 rushing yards and two scores. Meanwhile, Denham piled up 24 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown. Sands chipped in with 48 yards rushing. Southeast Missouri running back Levi Terrell, who had rushed for at least 100 yards in five straight games, was held to a season-low 57 yards on the ground.

Nov. 10, 2012 • Roy Kidd Stadium (8,200) RICHMOND, Ky. – Senior Day couldn’t have been much sweeter for Eastern Kentucky as the Colonels dominated the final 40 minutes of action in a 55-24 victory over Murray State. However, Eastern Illinois’ victory over Southeast Missouri eliminated the Colonels from OVC title contention. The Colonels scored touchdowns on their first five possessions, and eight of 11 possessions overall. The Racers (4-6, 3-4 OVC) put points on the board on their first four touches, but were held scoreless the rest of the game. Early in the second quarter, Murray State took a 24-20 lead on an 18yard touchdown pass from Casey Brockman to Walter Powell. However, EKU answered. On 3rd-and-11 at the EKU 24, senior Tyrone Goard made a one-handed catch over the middle, with a number of defenders converging, for 43 yards. On the ensuing play, fellow senior Matt Denham tied the school record for touchdowns in a game when he scored his fourth, racing in from 33 yards out. After the Eastern defense stopped the Racers for the first time, the offense began to pull away. A trick play extended the Colonel lead to 34-24. On 3rd-and-10 at the Murray State 22, junior Deshaun Sands took the hand-off, ran to the right and then lofted a perfect pass to Goard in the right corner of the end zone for the score. The Colonel defense kept the Racers off the board the rest of the way. Thanks to forcing two turnovers and recording six sacks, Eastern Kentucky held the Racers to their lowest point total since a week two loss at Central Arkansas. Senior linebacker Kevin Hamlin notched seven tackles, one sack and one interception. Eastern Kentucky racked up season highs in total offense (666) and rushing yards (372). The Colonels converted 14-of-16 (87.5 percent) thirddown attempts and held the ball for 38:29. Denham reached 200 yards rushing for the sixth time in his career (214). He ran for three touchdowns and caught a scoring pass. Murray State at #18 Eastern Kentucky

The Ohio Valley Conference

Now in its 66th 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 began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave 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. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 13 years. 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 Kyle Schwartz just six females to be the head of a Division I Asst. Commissioner conference, and one of just nine to lead a Divifor Media Relations sion I conference all-time. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually 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 65 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.

#FCS

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 and tied with Appalachian State). 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), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), 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 seven 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 2013 year marks the 36th season for the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs. This season will feature an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams have been added to the playoff field. 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, Montana and North Dakota State have won the title more than once. Four of the last five 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 24 teams. Sixteen teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2013 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 4, 2014 and mark the fourth 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 2013 season, Eastern has won 204, lost 46, 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 approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. This summer, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. 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.

COLONELS

Championship Seasons There have been many successful years of Eastern Kentucky football, but a few truly stand out as memorable and historic seasons. 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 sixth-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2013 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 hirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried T 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.

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. The All-Century Football Team was unveiled at a luncheon on Oct. 16, 2009, a day prior to the Homecoming game against UT Martin. The All-Century Football Team is made up of the following positions: running back (2), wide receiver (2), quarterback (1), tight end (1), punter (1), placekicker (1), linebacker (3), defensive back (4), defensive line (4) and offensive line (5). To earn consideration for the All-Century Team, players must have met at least one of the following criteria: first or second team AllOVC honors, enshrinement in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, or All-American honors. Colonel fans helped determine the All-Century Team by casting their votes on-line in late August and early September at www.EKUSports.com. The All-Century logo was designed by former EKU running back Markus Thomas.

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 Saturday, Oct. 5 with the inductees also honored later that night at the home football game against Austin Peay. Including the 2013 induction class, there are 36 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, Tony McCombs, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

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.
