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 2014 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 32nd season as “The Voice of the Colonels” and his 36th 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 Communications. Joining Stotelmyer in the booth as the analyst for his second 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 fourth 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 this August. 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 via the OVC Digital Network, 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 headed towards the proverbial fork in the road this fall. Will the team bounce back from a disappointing 6-6 finish to the 2013 season and be an Ohio Valley Conference title contender again this year? Or will the Colonels face another challenging year in a very competitive and balanced league? Ohio Valley Conference Titles “If we execute, espeNo. Last cially down the stretch 1.

Austin Peay 16 offenses utilize the *selected by head coaches and SIDs spread attack, Coach Hood shook up many of the player positions on defense. “We got faster moving down and faster moving over [from offense to defense],” Hood said. “Part of this rationale is a function of what we see in our league [from opposing offenses] and who we have to beat to win a championship.” Players such as junior Marquise Piton and sophomore LaJuan Smith have moved from linebacker to defensive end. Junior Trey Thomas and senior Chris Owens are now penciled in as linebackers instead of defensive backs. Senior Theron Norman is moving to safety from corner back. Even sophomore Thomas Owens, who was the team’s fourth leading rusher in 2013, has changed positions to linebacker. “I thought all of those guys looked really good in the spring,” Hood said. On offense, Eastern will attempt to rekindle its physical brand of football from 2012 when former Colonel Matt Denham ran for 1,386 yards and 14 scores. Newcomer Dy’Shawn Mobley heads into preseason camp as the number one running back. “Mobley is an experienced back who has played at a high level,” Hood said. “He is perfect for our system and what we want to do.” Eastern Kentucky recruited Mobley out of high school, but he went on to sign with Kentucky. In the 2013 season finale at Tennessee, Mobley ran for 143 yards on 17 carries (8.4 ypr). Another position to keep an eye on this summer is the quarterback spot where senior incumbent Jared McClain will compete against University of Cincinnati transfer Bennie Coney and redshirt freshman Barton Mann for the signal-caller duties.

tors last year. “With all of those guys back and having some game experience, I think the offensive line will go back to being more of a dominant force like we were two years ago,” Hood said. Juniors Brett Eyckmans and Josh Minor are slated to fill the left and right tackle positions for the second straight year. Eyckmans has started 18 consecutive games on the offensive line. Meanwhile, Minor started the first four games of 2013 before suffering a major injury. The inside of the offensive line shapes up to be sophomore Ryan Garretson at left guard, senior Dustin Crane at center and junior Trey Shelton at right guard. Crane started every game at center last year while Shelton was forced to serve as the right tackle for seven contests. Garretson saw plenty of game action as a reserve and even started a pair of tilts against Tennessee State and Jacksonville State. There is plenty of depth at the running back position. Mobley ran for 300 yards and averaged 7.0 yards per carry a year ago for Kentucky. Sophomore JJ Jude paced the Colonels with 637 rushing yards and twice reached the 100-yard plateau in 2013. “Mobley is an excellent leader,” Hood said. “He came in with a humble spirit and hardworking character. Our guys have accepted him in a hurry and he gets the entire offense fired up.” Besides Mobley and Jude, redshirt freshman Kentayvus Hopkins could make some noise in the backfield this season. Hopkins was the Class 3A Player of the Year two years ago at Bourbon County. An injury to sophomore quarterback Kyle Romano in the middle of the spring left Eastern with just one experienced quarterback heading into the fall – McClain. McClain finished third in the OVC in both passing (1,535 yards) and total offense (162.4 ypg) in his first season as the team’s starter. Not only can McClain throw, but he can also run as he posted 414 yards on the ground and a team high seven rushing touchdowns last year. Coney played in two games for Cincinnati a season ago and completed 6-of-7 pass attempts. He will be a redshirt sophomore in 2014. “I felt we had good guys at that position, but we wanted to be better at quarterback and deeper with experience,” Hood said. “We were really blessed to run into Coney.”

The Offense A pivotal key to the offense’s success in 2014 could be the play of the offensive line. All five projected starters were major contribu-

Season Outlook

went through a full spring season and made a very positive impression. Meanwhile, Thomas and Owens will compete for the starting strong side linebacker spot. Senior Khiry Maddox, who has experience at all three of the linebacker positions, is slated to fill the weak side linebacker position. Junior Chris Kelly, a special teams standout the last two years, adds depth to the linebacker unit. “We like our corner situation,” Hood said. “We feel that we have three quality players in Kiante Northington, Stanley Absanon and Johnny Joseph.” That trio combined for three interceptions and 11 pass break-ups just a year ago. Northington also ranked third on the squad with six tackles for loss as a redshirt freshman. Depending on how the lineup settles, Northington may move over to safety. Coach Hood wants to see more out of his safeties this year and that begins with 2012 All-OVC performer Brandon Stanley. The senior led the Colonels in tackles last year (61) even though he missed the first three games with an injury. Fellow senior Theron Norman and transfer Tyrell Curry are in the mix for the other safety spot. Curry returned an interception 70 yards for a score in the spring game. The Special Teams EKU’s special teams will have a different look this year due to the departure of three-time all-league punter Jordan Berry. The Colonels ranked sixth nationally in net punting in 2013 (39.08 yards per punt). Another Australian has been brought in to assume the punting duties – Keith Wrzuszczak. The true freshman will not have the luxury of redshirting like Berry did when he arrived at Eastern in 2009. “I think Wrzuszczak has the mentality to handle [the job],” Hood said. “He definitely has the potential to blossom into an allconference type of player.” The placekicking duties should be in good hands with senior Andrew Lloyd. He converted 8-of-10 field goal attempts last fall, including a long of 49 yards in the season finale at Murray State. Junior Taylor Speaks will handle the long snapping duties for a third straight year.

The coaching staff has high expectations for senior linebacker Tyrelle Johnson.

Mann, true freshman Tyler Swafford and the potential return of Romano give the Colonels the most depth the team has had under head coach Dean Hood. Whoever is throwing the ball for EKU will have plenty of targets to choose from. Headlining the wide receiver unit is 2013 OVC Freshman of the Year Devin Borders. The 6-5 sophomore led the Colonels with 509 receiving yards and six touchdowns last season. The other starting receiver is expected to be 6-4 junior Jeff Glover. Tranard Chester, another 6-4 receiver, could step in as another impact player after redshirting in 2013. Tight end Matt Lengel was granted a sixth year of eligibility after suffering an early-season knee injury in two straight years. If healthy, the 6-7 blocker/receiver significantly enhances the offense’s diversity.

The Schedule This is the final time until 2019 that FCS teams can play a 12game regular season schedule. Eastern Kentucky has filled its schedule with a pair of FBS opponents – Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 6 and Florida in the regular season finale on Nov. 22. The Colonels open the schedule by playing five of their first six games on the road. The lone home game is a rivalry game against Morehead State on Sept. 13. EKU has won eight straight meetings in that series. EKU begins the OVC slate with a road game at UT Martin on Sept. 20. That game will be televised on ESPN3 as part of the OVC Game of the Week series. The Colonels host two-time defending league champion Eastern Illinois on Oct. 11. Eastern winds down the conference schedule with three of the preseason favorites – at Tennessee State on Nov. 1, versus Jacksonville State on Nov. 8 and versus Murray State on Nov. 15. The 24-team FCS playoffs begin on Nov. 29.

The Defense New faces abound everywhere on the defensive side of the ball. However, one of the few familiar faces can be found on the defensive line where junior Bryce Krebs is set to enter his third year as a starting defensive tackle. The Colonels ranked second in the OVC in rushing defense last year, allowing just 123.3 yards per game. Sophomore Avery Pitt, Eastern’s 2012 Defensive Future of the Year award recipient, looks to fill in the other tackle spot. Sophomore Daryl Taylor and junior Floyd Coffey are the projected starting ends. Coffey was among the team leaders in sacks (2.5) and tackles for loss (7.0) as a sophomore. Patrick Graffree could be a wild card on the interior of the defensive line. Graffree, a sophomore transfer from Kentucky, missed most of the spring with an injury. “I like all of the guys who have been waiting in line, they just have to step up, show they can do it and produce,” Hood said. The coaching staff is very high on senior Tyrelle Johnson as an impact player at middle linebacker this fall. After serving as a reserve backer and battling injuries throughout his career, Johnson

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 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 50 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 • 7th Year at EKU (40-29)

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 six 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 All-Americans, one OVC Defensive Player of the Year, one OVC Freshman of the Year and 24 first team all-conference performers in Hood’s six years on the EKU sidelines. This past fall, wide receiver Devin Borders became just the second Colonel to win the OVC Freshman of the Year accolades since the award was started in 2004. Hood, 50, 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,” former 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.

“Dean is a tremendous role model for our student-athletes,” Sandy said. “He has worked with two of the best people who have ever served as mentors for young men – Roy Kidd and Jim Grobe. I am sure our current players, recruits, and fans will be impressed.” Hood was a three-time All-North Coast Athletic Conference selection during his playing days at Ohio Wesleyan University.

I am looking forward to the challenge of being Eastern’s head coach. As you progress in this profession, you always think about doing things your own way. This is a chance to implement those thoughts.” Hood is married to the former Crystal Ramsey of Richmond, Ky. 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. I couldn’t be happier for him.” --Jim Grobe, Former Head Coach, Wake Forest University “It was an honor to play for Coach Hood. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is an unbelievable coach and a great person. As someone who played for him and who is now a coach, I can tell you how much he cares for and takes care of his players both on and off the field. He is a tireless worker and has a great family. EKU did a great job in hiring Dean Hood, he is a great fit.” --Bob Head, played three years for Coach Hood at EKU, 1994-96, DB “Coach Hood is one of the best defensive minds in the game. He coached me and taught me about life. He is very enthusiastic and works hard. Coach Hood is a family guy who cares about his players and coaches.” --Tony Gibson, Defensive Coordinator, West Virginia University “Dean Hood is a good person and a solid football coach. He is really enthusiastic and works very hard at recruiting. I remember when he was here how encouraging he was to the guys on the sideline.” --Roy Kidd, Former Head Coach, Eastern Kentucky University, 1964-2002

sixth 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 three 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. The Colonels have rushed for at least 2,200 yards in three straight years under Damron. Even with a run-oriented offense, the Colonels were able to score at least 30 points in six games last year, including 44 tallies against nationally-ranked Tennessee State. The EKU offense should be loaded in the backfield and on the perimeter this fall as all of the skill positions feature returning starters. “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 (14) and Derek (10).

again serve as the linebackers coach in 2014. The linebacker corps will feature some new faces this season as longtime stalwarts Anthony Brown, Tyler Horn and Ichiro Vance have graduated. Brown and Vance were both three-time all-conference honorees while Horn started every game as a senior one year ago. “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.” Before arriving at EKU, the native of Columbus, Ohio, served as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State in 2008. 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 Ohio State 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 two children – Amari (10) and Rece (eight). He married the former Lucretia Hughes in 2010, who has one child – Tseday (11). Together they have three children – Gianna (two) and one-year old twins, Garry III and Terry.

Carson Jeffers is in his seventh year on the Eastern coaching staff and sixth season as the offensive line coach. He also serves as the team’s NFL liaison. The depth on the EKU offensive line may be the best it has been in recent memory this coming fall. Three starters return in 2014, including senior center Dustin Crane. Since the Colonels switched to a power rushing attack in 2011, the offense has averaged almost 200 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.

Junior Bryce Krebs is expected to anchor the defensive line in 2014. Krebs is the lone returning starter on the line. EKU ranked second in the OVC in rushing defense in 2013, allowing only 123 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 (four) and Zoey (three).

Running Backs Coach • 18th Year at EKU

John Revere Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1976 u 2012 AFCA FCS Assistant Coach of the Year 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 18 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 10th consecutive year that Revere will be in charge of the running backs, the focal point of the EKU offense. Sophomore JJ Jude is the top returning back and piled up 637 yards on the ground last year. The addition of Kentucky transfer Dy’Shawn Mobley gives the Colonels two potential feature backs. Two other players – senior Caleb Watkins and redshirt freshman Kentayvus Hopkins – will be in the mix for carries as well. 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 British Columbia Lions of the CFL, and former Colonel linebacker Justen Rivers, the 2004 OVC Defensive Player of the Year. Revere was a standout during his collegiate playing career, starting at flanker for four seasons under legendary EKU head coach Roy Kidd. During those four years, he hauled in 95 passes for 1,501 yards and 13 scores. He also rushed 53 times for 419

Sept. 7, 2013 • Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium (53,647)

Aug. 29, 2013 • Roy Kidd Stadium (12,200) RICHMOND, Ky. – In its first Thursday night season-opener in 13 years, Eastern Kentucky rolled to a 38-6 win over Robert Morris. The Colonels scored on four of their first five possessions to take a 28-6 lead at halftime. The Eastern defense began the second half with an interception in its own territory and held the Colonials on downs on their next two possessions to put the game away. Quarterback Jared McClain had a hand in four of Eastern’s five touchdowns, throwing for two and running for two more. McClain accumulated 232 yards of offense combined passing (155), rushing (44) and receiving (33). The Hiram, Ga., native completed 16-of-21 passes, ran the ball 12 times and caught one pass. McClain capped EKU’s first possession with a 10-yard scoring pass to senior Ike Ariguzo. McClain took care of business himself on Eastern’s next possession, taking it in from a yard out for a 14-0 lead. With just over seven minutes remaining in the second quarter, McClain rolled out and found a wide open senior tight end Nathan Watts from two yards out for his second passing score of the game. Robert Morris closed the gap to 21-6 with a 20-yard scoring pass from Paul Jones to Alex Caratelli inside of two minutes to go in the first half. The extra-point was blocked, Eastern’s second blocked kick of the game. McClain completed 12 of his 15 first half pass attempts for 118 yards. Robert Morris opened the second half with a drive into Eastern territory in attempt to get back into the game, but redshirt freshman Jason Fergerson deflected a pass right into the hands of sophomore Johnny Joseph at the EKU 22-yard line to end that threat. After the Colonel defense held the Colonials on downs on their next possession, the Eastern offense put together a methodical scoring drive that began with 4:48 left in the third and ended with 14:21 showing on the clock in the fourth quarter. EKU ran the ball eight times for 37 yards and attempted four passes that covered 34 yards. McClain’s eight-yard touchdown run polished off the drive. Eastern Kentucky totaled 401 yards of offense, with 207 coming on the ground. Robert Morris ran for just 55 yards. Robert Morris at #19 Eastern Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky fell at No. 8 Louisville, 44-7, on Saturday afternoon at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The EKU defense stuffed the Louisville run game all afternoon, limiting the Cardinals to just 78 yards on 28 carries (2.8 yards-percarry); however, the Colonels could not contain Louisville quarterback and Heisman candidate Teddy Bridgewater, who finished the day 23-for-32 for 397 yards and four touchdowns. Bridgewater orchestrated scoring drives of 75 and 72 yards in the first quarter alone, giving UofL a quick 14-0 lead. Turnovers, meanwhile, hurt EKU in the first half, as junior quarterback Jared McClain was picked off early in the second quarter and freshman running back #J.J. Jude# coughed up the ball on the Colonels’ very next drive, helping Louisville take a 27-0 lead at halftime. Louisville led 37-0 before EKU got on the board with a 15-yard touchdown pass from McClain to freshman wide receiver Devin Borders with 3:23 remaining in the third quarter. The leaping grab in the corner of the end zone was Borders’ first career score. On Louisville’s next drive, though, Bridgewater found DeVante Parker for a 42-yard touchdown to make it 44-7. The Cardinals ran out the clock from there. EKU out-rushed UofL in the game, compiling 107 yards on the ground. McClain led the way with 61 yards, while the freshman running back committee of Jude, Jared Sanders and Thomas Owens combined for 55 yards. McClain finished with 85 yards and a touchdown through the air.Pryor was 13-for-22 for 148 yards and one touchdown. Foster added 81 rushing yards on 16 carries. #21 (FCS) Eastern

2013 Season in Review 21 Coastal Carolina – 51 at #25 Eastern Kentucky – 32

Sept. 14, 2013 • Roy Kidd Stadium (14,500)

Sept. 21, 2013 • Jayne Stadium (8,115)

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky entered the game eighth in the nation in rushing defense, but No. 21 Coastal Carolina ran for 339 yards in a 51-32 victory over the 25thranked Colonels. EKU entered the contest allowing 66.5 yards rushing per game and had limited No. 8 Louisville to 78 yards a week ago. However, the Chanticleers came out running and amassed 138 yards on the ground on their first two drives. Both teams overcame double-digit deficits in the game. Eastern Kentucky fell behind 14-0 after Coastal’s first two drives ended with touchdown runs by Lorenzo Taliaferro, the first coming from 45 yards out. The Colonel defense briefly righted the ship to allow EKU to score 24 unanswered points. After running for 138 yards on its first two possessions, Coastal Carolina totaled just 35 yards on the ground on the next six possessions. The Colonels got on the board when quarterback Jared McClain found tight end Nathan Watts all alone along the right sideline. Watts bobbled the ball briefly, and then raced to the end zone untouched for a 70-yard scoring pass. Eastern was down 14-10 early in the second quarter when McClain helped give his team its first lead. The junior ran 40 yards up the middle on a busted play early in the drive and then capped it with a seven-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Devin Borders for a 17-14 lead. On Coastal’s ensuing possession, defensive back Christian Albertson picked up a fumble and carried it 28 yards for a score and a 24-14 lead. The Chanticleers turned two Eastern turnovers into 10 points to tie the game and then took a 31-24 halftime lead when Taliaferro scored his third touchdown with 11 seconds left before intermission. Coastal Carolina rolled off 20 unanswered second half points thanks in part to converting 6-of-8 third downs following intermission. The Chanticleers totaled 631 yards of offense, second most in program history.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Running back JJ Jude tallied four touchdowns while wide receiver Devin Borders chipped in with two touchdown catches as Eastern Kentucky earned a 56-24 victory at Morehead State Saturday night. This was the first meeting between the long-time rivals in Morehead since 1993. Jude carried the ball 33 times for 195 yards. He registered three scoring runs in the first half and added a 17-yard touchdown burst in the fourth quarter to make the score 42-24. Meanwhile, Borders hauled in nine catches for 133 yards to go along with the two touchdowns. He is the first Colonel to reach 100 yards receiving this season. The first half was back-and-forth with Eastern taking a 21-14 lead into intermission. The Colonels reached the red zone five times in the first two quarters, but came away empty on two occasions. Morehead State put together a 71-yard scoring drive in the waning minutes of the first half to cut the deficit to seven points. EKU tried to answer with a quick scoring drive of its own, but tossed an interception in the end zone with six seconds left on the clock. The Eagles made the game really interesting at the start of the third quarter by notching a 43-yard field goal on their opening possession to creep within four points at 21-17. However, Eastern Kentucky turned the game around after the field goal. Eastern’s offense scored touchdowns on five of its six possessions in the second half while defense forced two turnovers and blocked a punt. Four different Colonels scored in the second half led by two touchdown receptions from Borders. Running backs Thomas Owens and Jared Sanders also found the end zone. EKU racked up a season-high 606 yards of total offense with 345 yards coming on the ground and 261 through the air. On defense, safety Brandon Stanley led the Colonels with eight tackles in his first game this season. He missed the first three games with an injury.

Sept. 28, 2013 • O’Brien Field (11,469) CHARLESTON, Ill. – The No. 8 Eastern Illinois Panthers rolled to a convincing 42-7 victory over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon.

Eastern Kentucky threatened to score before the end of the first half, but the Panthers’ Anthony Goodman returned an EKU fumble 70 yards for a touchdown to make the score 35-0 at the break. Eastern Kentucky turned the ball over four times in the first half. On the Colonels’ opening drive, quarterback Jared McClain threw an interception at the Eastern Illinois 14-yard line. A few minutes later, redshirt freshman running back JJ Jude exploded for a 31-yard run, but fumbled the ball at the EIU 30-yard line. Eastern Illinois racked up 360 yards of offense in the first 30 minutes and 519 yards for the game. The Colonels were held to a season-low 97 yards passing. Running back Caleb Watkins scored EKU’s lone points, a three-yard touchdown run, with 3:33 remaining. Eastern Kentucky at #8 Eastern Illinois

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky limited Tennessee Tech to 27 yards rushing and 200 total yards in a 24-10 Homecoming win Saturday afternoon at Roy Kidd Stadium. EKU held Tennessee Tech to -14 rushing yards on its way to a 17-3 halftime lead. Through the end of the third quarter, the Golden Eagles managed just -7 yards on the ground and only six first downs. Still holding that 17-3 advantage entering the final quarter, the Colonels went to the air to get some more breathing room. Facing 3rd-and-8 at Eastern’s own 17-yard line, quarterback Jared McClain found Devin Borders for 33 yards and a big first down to midfield. Six plays later, wide out Jeff Glover found tight end Ike Ariguzo behind the defense on a trick play for a 29-yard touchdown pass. The Golden Eagles finally scored a touchdown a few minutes later with Krys Cates caught a 16-yard touchdown pass. TTU had one more chance to cut into the deficit, but the Eastern defense stepped up again on a 4th-and-1 play at midfield with five minutes left to ice the game. The Colonels took the opening possession of the game and drove 64 yards in 10 plays over 4:44 to go on top, 7-0. McClain completed a 12-yard pass to Glover on third down early to keep the drive alive. The junior quarterback polished off the drive with a 10-yard touchdown run. A 29-yard field goal from Tennessee Tech’s Zach Sharp early in the second quarter got the visitors on the board. McClain’s legs pushed Eastern to a 14-3 lead. This time the Hiram, Ga., native finished off a 12-play, 78-yard drive that took 6:10 off the clock with an eight-yard touchdown run. McClain broke the plain at the right corner just before the Golden Eagle defense caught up to him. An interception by senior linebacker Anthony Brown at the TTU 31yard line late in the first half set up a 26-yard field goal by junior Andrew Lloyd that sent the Colonels to the locker room in front, 17-3. Glover and Borders combined for eight receptions and 132 receiving yards. On defense, Brown posted five stops, a sack, an interception, a pass break-up and two quarterback hurries. Six EKU players tallied a tackle for loss in the win. Tennessee Tech at Eastern Kentucky

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Four different players scored touchdowns as Eastern Kentucky cruised to a 31-7 victory over host Southeast Missouri Saturday afternoon at Houck Stadium. The Colonels scored the first 24 points of the game and never looked back on the way to their third straight victory. SEMO managed just seven points after scoring at least 33 points in each of its previous two games. Running back JJ Jude highlighted the offensive effort by reaching the 100-yard plateau for the second time this season. Jude finished with 114 yards on the ground and scored the game’s first touchdown, a 28-yard burst up the middle, barely three minutes after kick-off. The Redhawks had a chance to tie the game late in the first quarter, but defensive back Brandon Stanley recovered a fumble at the EKU two-yard line. Eastern Kentucky then scored on its next three possessions to take control of the game. Kicker Andrew Lloyd made the score 10-0 with a 44yard field goal. Following a quick three-and-out by Southeast Missouri, the Colonels struck again three minutes later when quarterback Jared McClain found tight end Ike Ariguzo behind the defense for a 45-yard touchdown strike. Southeast Missouri’s second fumble led to more EKU points. The Colonels lined up for a 42-yard field goal attempt with 3:27 remaining before halftime only to see holder Jordan Berry take the snap and race untouched to the end zone. That play made the score 24-0 at intermission. The Redhawks finally scored late in the third quarter only to see Eastern respond with its final scoring drive. EKU ran the ball seven times out of eight plays on that drive until McClain scored on a one-yard quarterback sneak. Safety Chris Owens posted a team-high eight stops as Eastern Kentucky held its third straight opponent to 10 points or less. The Colonels tallied 10 tackles for loss including two each from linebacker Ichiro Vance and defensive back Kiante Northington. Eastern Kentucky at Southeast Missouri

RICHMOND, Ky. – Defense and special teams keyed Eastern Kentucky’s 44-0 rout of No. 23 Tennessee State Saturday afternoon at Roy Kidd Stadium. Eastern Kentucky’s defense forced four Tennessee State turnovers which led to 17 points. The Colonels held the Tigers to season lows in both passing yards (101) and total yards (172). This game also marked EKU’s first shutout since defeating these same Tigers on Nov. 19, 2005 by a count of 49-0. The Colonels built a 34-0 halftime lead thanks to three Tiger fumbles that led to 14 points, a 30-yard punt return to the TSU seven yard line that set up a touchdown and a defense that limited the visitors to 31 yards of offense on their first seven possessions. Tennessee State crossed midfield only once in the first half, a five-yard run to the EKU 46-yard line that ended with a fumble recovered by the Colonels. Junior Stanley Absanon set up Eastern’s first score with a 30-yard punt return. TSU punted from its own five and the Colonels took over at the seven yard line. After a few penalties forced a 3rd-and-goal at the 16-yard line, quarterback Jared McClain found a diving Devin Borders over the middle for a touchdown with 6:58 left in the first quarter. The Tigers’ second fumble of the first quarter came at their own six yard line. Defensive back Paul Ritter scooped it up at the seven and went in untouched. The Colonels added three more touchdowns before the end of the half. Borders and tight end Ike Ariguzo each caught a scoring pass while running back JJ Jude scored from a yard out with 27 seconds remaining before the break. EKU out-gained Tennessee State in the first half of play, 205-52. The Colonels took their opening drive of the second half and marched 75 yards to pay dirt in seven plays. Jared Sanders finished it off with a three-yard touchdown run. TSU’s running back Tim Broughton was held to a season-low 38 rushing yards on 17 carries. #23 Tennessee

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky struggled on offense all afternoon as the Colonels fell to UT Martin, 16-7, Saturday at Roy Kidd Stadium. Saturday’s victory was the first ever for the Skyhawks at Roy Kidd Stadium. UT Martin had lost its previous 11 games in Richmond. UT Martin held the Colonels to a seasonlow 80 yards on the ground, while racking up 215 yards of its own. Abou Toure led the Skyhawks with 111 yards rushing on 17 carries. DJ McNeil added 47 yards on the ground and a touchdown in the second quarter. The Skyhawks capitalized off an EKU fumble on the first play from scrimmage taking over at the EKU 25. UTM kicker Jackson Redditt split the uprights with a 38-yard field goal, giving UTM an early 3-0 lead. Redditt ended the day 3-for-3 in field goal attempts, while recording a career-best 51-yard field goal late in the first quarter to extend the visitors’ lead to 6-0. McNeil scored from nine yards out right before halftime to make the score 13-0. The Colonels’ lone score came on a one-yard sneak from back-up quarterback Kyle Romano in the third quarter. Two key completions from Romano to wide receivers Devin Borders and Jeff Glover helped the Colonels find the end zone. Romano hit Borders in stride for a 42-yard gain to the UTM 22 before finding Glover for a 17-yard completion to set up the score. However, UTM added a fourth quarter field goal with 11:19 left, and then picked off Romano twice, ending the Colonels’ run at a comeback. UT Martin at Eastern Kentucky

MURRAY, Ky. – Jesse Blackburn caught a 26-yard touchdown pass in overtime to lift host Murray State to a 34-27 win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon at Stewart Stadium. The Colonels conclude the regular season with three straight losses while Murray State broke an eight-game losing streak to EKU. The game featured contrasting styles of offense as the Racers passed for 467 yards and Eastern Kentucky piled up 311 rushing yards. Eastern Kentucky took a 20-14 lead into intermission, but was forced to punt on its first five possessions of the second half. The Racers went ahead 21-20 early in the third quarter when Blackburn caught a two-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Maikhail Miller. Murray State added a pair of field goals to extend its cushion to 27-20 with 4:03 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Colonels were able to force overtime by taking their final possession of regulation 64 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback Jared McClain keyed the drive with a 39-yard scramble down to the MSU 12-yard line. Thomas Owens capped the drive with a one-yard scoring run with only 46 seconds showing on the clock. In overtime, Murray State capitalized on a trick play for the winning score. Facing 3rd-and-11 from the 26-yard line, the Racers handed the ball off twice on a reverse before pitching the ball back to Miller. The quarterback then tossed the ball to Blackburn behind the EKU defense in the end zone. Eastern had a chance to score the equalizer, but Murray State held the Colonels on a 4th-and-goal play at the one-yard line. McClain attempted a quarterback draw on the final play from the two-yard line only to come up one yard short. Miller threw for a career-high 467 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. For the Colonels, Owens ran for a season-best 117 yards on 20 carries. Owens scored on a 20-yard and one-yard run.

The Ohio Valley Conference

Now in its 67th 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 14 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. The last three comKyle Schwartz missioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs Asst. Commissioner as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and for Media Relations the Mid-American Conferences. 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 66 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, 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 and Jimmy Garoppolo (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. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.

NCAA FCS History The 2014 year marks the 37th season for the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs. The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were 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), North Dakota State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Four of the last six 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 2014 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. 10, 2015 and mark the fifth 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 for approximately 20,000 football spectators. 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 2014 season, Eastern has won 208, lost 48, and tied 1 (.811 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. In the summer of 2013, 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 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 seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 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.

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. 11 with the inductees also honored later that night at the home football game against Eastern Illinois. Including the 2014 induction class, there are 38 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, James Hand, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, 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.
