“I have had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Love School of Business in my time at Elon University and will graduate with a major in business management. The business school here at Elon gives everyone a chance to do great things. The small class sizes and relationships with professors have allowed me to really flourish. The business settings allow for many outside-thebox type of activities such as various presentations and proposals as well as inviting local business people from the surrounding area for a question and answer session about what the real world is like. I fully expect that the Love School of Business is preparing me for what I need once I leave Elon and go make my mark somewhere out there in the world.” Corey O’Shea, Junior Offensive Lineman

EXCITEMENT

2009 Phoenix Football

Rhodes Stadium is designed to give fans the ultimate game-day experience. Designed by architectural firm Ellerbe Becket, the seats are contoured for comfort and they’re right on top of the action. All of the stadium’s services are within an easy walk of any seat. Rhodes Stadium, named for trustee Dusty Rhodes, his wife, Peggy, and their family, opened its doors on September 22, 2001 for the first game against North Carolina A&T.

McKinnon Field Named in honor of trustee Bob McKinnon ‘62 and his wife, Ray, the green grass of McKinnon Field is the result of extensive research and planning, and sophisticated construction methods. McKinnon Field is identical to the playing surfaces in many NFL stadiums. McGovernSports Fields, Inc., of Ft. Myers, Fla., which installed similar fields for venues such as Bank of America in Charlotte and Landshark Stadium in Miami, did the work for the field. Functional and attractive, these sand-based fields help reduce injuries by providing a firm, reliable surface for players to make quick cuts and turns.

“Elon has the most current, state-of-the-art field anywhere,” says Bud McGovern, a 47-year turf management veteran who supervised the project. Work on the field began in the fall of 2000 with the installation of more than 12,000 feet of plastic pipe to provide drainage. On top of this drainage network came a four-inch blanket of stone, followed by a 12-inch root zone composed of a blend of silica sand and peat moss. In May, this base was graded using laser technology, in preparation for the installation of sod at the end of June. Elon landscape manager Larry Rhodes spent months studying varieties of grass and the latest methods in turf maintenance before selecting TifSport brand Bermuda grass, which is bred specifically for athletic fields and golf courses. “In my mind, the effect of a beautiful, modern stadium is lost if you don’t have a field that measures up to that standard,” says Rhodes. The 106,000 square feet of turf was grown over an 18-month period at Oakland Plantation in Council, N.C., and then laid down in 50-foot-long strips. Following its installation, the sod was mowed daily and weekly tissue and soil tests helped Rhodes keep an eye on the level of nutrients in the soil and make the necessary adjustments in irrigation and fertilizer amounts. McGovern says the sand base and drainage pipes will keep McKinnon Field playable even in the heaviest rain. “This field has a percolation rate of 1214 inches per hour, which means it could take a foot of rain and one hour later be suitable for play.” Theos Arch Fans entering Rhodes Stadium will walk under Theos Arch, named in recognition of Nick Theos’ lifetime accomplishments as an educator. Theos is a 1956 Elon alumnus from Charleston, S.C. Furman Moseley, Theos’ friend and former Elon football teammate, dedicated $1 million to Elon in 1998 in honor of Theos. The two men were recruited to

Elon by John L. Georgeo, Elon class of 1946, who coached football at a Mt. Pleasant,

S.C., high school. Both Theos and Moseley played guard on the Elon squad for coach Sid Varney. Varney called Theos “a truly outstanding player” and a leader who always knew what to do on the field. Moseley went on to become chairman of an international paper company based in Seattle, while Theos had a distinguished career as principal of Bishop England High School in Charleston. Theos is credited with building the new Bishop England High School campus on Daniel Island. When he retired in 1999, after 27 years at the school, he was honored with the Benemerenti Medal, a papal medal first bestowed by Pope Pius VI in the 18th century and given in recognition of service to the church and society. The former bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Charleston, the Most Rev. David B. Thompson, conferred the title of “honorary bishop” to Theos in a school assembly.

Legend of the Phoenix Throughout history there is told the legend of the rare and remarkable Phoenix, a crimson and gold bird that lived 500 years. It was sleek, swift and strong - the most marvelous bird ever created by human imagination. At the end of its life, with death approaching, it built a nest in an oak tree and was consumed in flames ignited by the sun. From the ashes emerged the next Phoenix - reborn and renewed, with strength forged in fire. Fire, too, has shaped the history of Elon University. The disastrous fire of 1923 all but destroyed Elon. Gone were Main Building, college records, classrooms, the library and the chapel. But within days of the fire, Elon trustees set

in motion the plan for Elon to rise from the ashes, stronger than ever. The Phoenix is a powerful leader and an emblem of immortality. It is a perfect symbol for a school that is constantly renewing and recreating itself. The Elon motto, Numen Lumen, embraces intellectual and spiritual light. And so too, throughout history, the Phoenix has served as a symbol of light and knowledge. The Phoenix is timeless and unique. It perfectly describes an athletics program and an institution that are rising to new levels of excellence. There is only one Phoenix. There is only one Elon. Catch the Fire!

New Athletics Fieldhouse Thanks to Elon’s generous benefactors, the university is close to reaching its goal to raise $6 million to build a modern athletics field house, which will serve the football program as well as studentathletes from other sports. The field house will be located in the north end of Rhodes Stadium and serve teams that compete in the north athletics complex. “We are at a critical stage in this effort to build an outstanding facility for our talented student-athletes,” according to Dave Blank, Elon’s Director of Athletics. “For Elon to be truly competitive in Division I athletics, we need to provide first-rate facilities for our athletes. We are looking for additional supporters to join us in this drive to excellence.” In December of 2007, leadership commitments from two couples with historic ties to Elon athletics generated significant momentum for the fieldhouse project. With their commitment, alumni Jay and Amy Hendrickson of Raleigh, N.C. named the Hendrickson Football Center in honor of Jay’s father, Horace Hendrickson, one of Elon’s all-time great coaches. Alumnus and trustee Zac Walker and his wife Dot of Raleigh, N.C., made a commitment to name the spacious hospitality room.

During the summer, crews began initial work on the project, including building a road and parking lot leading to the 30,000-square-foot facility, which is designed to enable student-athletes to study and socialize while pursuing athletic excellence. The facility will include a large team meeting room and locker room for football; a conference room; an advanced athletic training room, including a hydrotherapy area; space for student-athletes to study; and a large strength and conditioning room. It also will provide office space for the athletics director and coaches in the football, baseball, soccer, cross country and track and field programs, as well as other athletics staff. In addition, a large second-floor room overlooking the stadium will host special university events and meetings, as well as pre-game receptions.

Fieldhouse Features • Football locker room with adjacent equipment room • Plaza overlooking the stadium for special university events and pre-game receptions • Office space for the football coaches and Elon Athletics adminstrative staff • Conference and meeting spaces for position groups and staff meetings • State-of-the-art video technology • Student-Athlete Study Lounge • Strength and Conditioning Room • Athletic training facilities with hydrotherapy Pools

2009 Phoenix Football

Fourth-year Phoenix football coach Pete Lembo will rely on a more experienced squad, which includes eight returning starters on offense and nine on defense, to build off the success of the 2008 team. Elon finished 8-4 last season and was ranked 17th in the nation in the final poll from The Sports Network. The Phoenix also completed the campaign ranked 19th in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Coaches poll. In his third season at the helm of the Elon squad, Lembo guided the program to back-to-back winning campaigns for the first time since the 1999-2000 seasons. At the conclusion of the 2008 year, Lembo’s Phoenix ranked in the top-40 nationally in passing offense (23rd), total offense (29th), scoring defense (30th) and total defense (38th). Lembo led his side to victories over three FCS top-25 teams in Georgia Southern, Furman and The Citadel. The wins over Georgia Southern and The Citadel marked the program’s first-ever victories on the road against those teams. “We have some great kids in the program and an excellent coaching staff,” stated Lembo. “I am very much looking forward to working with them in the upcoming season. A lot of people have worked very hard for three years to get us to this point. Now we have to keep our foot on the gas pedal and continue to find creative ways to get better in this ultra-competitive conference.” QUARTERBACKS Led by All-America candidate Scott Riddle, Elon features a talented group of quarterbacks who all have experience in the Phoenix’s system. Riddle was a Second Team All-Southern Conference performer as a sophomore after throwing for 2,871 yards and 24 touchdowns, becoming Elon’s all-time leader in completions, passing attempts, passing yards, touchdowns responsible for and total offensive yards. Riddle also set a new league standard by throwing for at least one touchdown in 22 consecutive contests. Riddle, who has started every game since arriving at Elon for the 2007 season, averaged 239.2 yards passing per contest and completed 61.6 percent (263-of-427) of his passes in 2008. “Scott has made an impact in his first two years in the program,” said Lembo. “He had a productive spring under Rich Skrosky’s guidance. I hope this year brings continued development, more consistency and excellent leadership from both Scott and our other quarterbacks.” 2009 Phoenix Football

Scott Riddle

Behind Riddle is junior Donny Kirby who saw time in four games last year, completing nine of his 11 pass attempts for 63 yards. Red-shirt freshman Thomas Wilson will compete for the back-up role with Kirby. Red-shirt freshman Shay Newcomer, along with sophomore Chris Shafto, will vie for spots on the depth chart. RUNNING BACKS Elon’s stable of running backs may be one of the deepest in the Southern Conference in 2009. Three Phoenix tailbacks rushed for over 250 yards in 2008 and the squad returns its top four leading rushers. A fierce competition between junior Brandon Newsome and sophomores Dontay Taylor, A.J. Harris and Jamal Shuman could ensue at the start of the year. Newsome led the team with 931 yards rushing a season ago, while Shuman tallied 339 yards on the ground and Harris scored a team-best four rushing touchdowns and gained 270 rushing yards. Before an injury sidelined him for the remainder of the year, Taylor had carried for 98 yards and two scores in two games. Newsome and Shuman each found the end zone twice while running the ball in 2008. Newsome was honored with second team all-conference honors by both the league’s coaches and media after the season. Both Harris and Shuman picked up a SoCon Freshman of the Week accolade during the season. “I am excited about the depth and competition that will take place at the running back position,” said Lembo. “We have four great kids that all have different strengths. Each one will be an asset

in different roles on offense as well as on our special teams units.” Junior Jake Goldsberry will enter the 2009 season holding the starting fullback role. “Jake had a solid spring and is among the hardest workers on the team,” Lembo commented. “He has big shoes to fill with the graduation of Tim Applegate.” Red-shirt freshman Thonda Taylor and true freshman Matt Eastman will battle for the number two spot on the depth chart at fullback. WIDE RECEIVERS Highlighting Elon’s corps of wide receivers is senior standout and 2008 AllAmerican Terrell Hudgins. The offensive force currently owns both the Elon and Southern Conference career records for receptions, touchdown receptions and receiving yards as well as the SoCon’s mark for most games with at least 100 yards receving. Hudgins, who finished fourth in the FCS with 7.17 receptions per game, compiled 1,116 yards and 10 touchdowns on 86 catches as a junior on his way to earning First Team All-SoCon honors from both the league’s coaches and media. Hudgins is 45 catches and 1,076 yards away from tying the all-time NCAA FCS records for receptions and receiving yards, respectively. Alongside Hudgins is a very talented and capable group of receivers in juniors Sean Jeffcoat and Lance Camp, sophomore Darrius McQueen and red-shirt freshmen Aaron Mellette, Chris Harris, Zach Blank and Vincent Pompliano. New to the squad are freshmen Rasaun Rorie and Jeremy Peterson. Brandon Newsome

Jeffcoat was Elon’s third-leading receiver as a sophomore, hauling in 36 passes for 411 yards. Camp added 172 yards and two touchdowns on 23 catches during his sophomore campaign. The duo also combined to rush for 86 yards on 13 carries. At 6-3, Mellette provides a big target for Riddle and should see plenty of action in the fall following a solid spring. “We are not as deep at wide receiver as 2008, but we might be as talented as we have ever been at the position,” Lembo added. “Hudgins, Jeffcoat and Camp give us three experienced, legitimate targets to throw to. Behind them, we have some guys with ability who must grow up quickly if they are to make an impact this fall.” OFFENSIVE LINE/TIGHT ENDS The Phoenix returns its entire starting offensive front five in 2009. This group, which includes seniors David Harrison, Chris Werden and Jeff Allen along with juniors Corey O’Shea and John Rubertone, have combined to start 117 games over the past three seasons. All five started 12 games a year ago and Werden has started all 35 games during his career. Both Harrison and Werden were AllSoCon recipients in 2008. The depth behind those five has become strong during Lembo’s time at the helm. Senior Dave McClain, junior Mark Hoffer as well as sophomores Rodney Austin, Logan Hardin and Ned Cuthbertson will all figure into the rotation on the offensive line in the fall. “Many of our offensive linemen were thrown into the fire as freshmen two or three years ago,” stated Lembo. “Now,

this is a veteran group with experience playing next to each other in big games. The depth we have established will enable us to red-shirt some young players and continue to build for the future.” Sophomores Andrew McMicken and Matt Williamson along with red-shirt freshmen Justin Ward and Kyle Herbert and true freshmen Jarrod Gant, Clay Johnson, Mark Rehbein and Dennis Wagner will all battle for time to open holes for the running game and protect the quarterback. Elon’s group of tight ends is young as injured Matt Leddy is the only senior in the group. Looking to step up to replace Leddy, who caught seven passes for 48 yards last year, will be sophomores Andre Labinowicz, Taylor Berry and Clark Richards and freshman Gavin Billings. Labinowicz appeared in 10 games, starting twice, in 2008 and grabbed two passes for 14 yards. “It is tough to lose a veteran like Matt Leddy from the line up,” said Lembo. “However, Andre Labinowicz is very talented and Taylor Berry showed promise in spring drills. The ability to use some two tight end sets will be critical to the success of our offense.”

Of those four linemen, Ward amassed 39 tackles, including 3.5 sacks. Ludwig and Gibson were right behind, notching 36 and 34 tackles, respectively. Hunt finished with 30 stops. There is also depth behind those four, as seniors Andre Campbell and Jordan Daniel and sophomores Khiry Mullins and Khirey Walker will figure into the

DEFENSIVE LINE The Phoenix also boasts an experienced defensive front as all four projected starters are either juniors or seniors. Led by All-Southern Conference selection Eric Ludwig’s 12 starts as a junior, this group combined for 32 starts last year. Juniors Brandon Ward, David Hunt and Jordan Gibson make up the rest of the starting front four.

rotation up front. Daniel posted 4.5 sacks and forced one fumble while Campbell tallied 26 total tackles in 2008. Elon will also rely on red-shirt freshmen Olufemi Lamikanra and Rushaun Byrd for production on the line. Junior Joey Hall returns to the Elon squad for 2009 as do sophomores Jody Hackett and Chris Homsy. In 2007, Hall recorded 27 tackles, including two tackles for a loss. New to the team are sophomore transfer John Watts and freshmen Brandon Brant and Jay Brown. Said Lembo, “I was very impressed with our front four during spring practice - particularly rushing the passer. We need to continue to develop our younger players so we can rotate multiple guys into the game with confidence.”

Andre Campbell

LINEBACKERS Though fairly young, Elon looks like it will continue its tradition of solid linebacker play in 2009. Slated to start in the Phoenix’s 4-3 alignment are junior Brandon Wiggins, sophomore Joshua Jones and red-shirt freshman Dale Riley or junior Travis Greene who missed the 2008 season with injury. Wiggins has led the team in total tackles each of the past two seasons, compiling a total of 80 stops in 2008.

2009 Phoenix Football

Jones notched a total of 68 tackles, the third-highest total on the squad, and tied for the team lead with 7.0 tackles for a loss on his way to hauling in SoCon AllFreshman accolades. Junior Lionel Shoffner played in all 12 games and made 19 tackles and will be expected to contribute even more this year while sophomore Zach Henderson, a converted safety, adds depth to the position. Red-shirt freshmen Jared Thompson, Elliott Richardson and Tyler Zoda also add depth at the position. Elon will welcome freshmen Jordan Jones and Quinton Lightfoot to the fold in the fall as well. “We have two experienced tacklers in Joshua Jones and Brandon Wiggins,” Lembo added. “They are also two of our better leaders on defense. I am excited to see the competition between Dale Riley and Travis Greene for the third spot.” DEFENSIVE BACKS Elon’s defensive backfield will be anchored by seniors Karlos Sullivan, Cameron McGlenn, Walker White and Nolan Ward as well as junior Terell Wilson. Wilson led the Phoenix with four interceptions and eight passes broken up while also collecting 65 tackles a year ago. Sullivan intercepted two passes and made 51 tackles during his junior campaign. White, a 2008 all-league selection despite appearing in only nine games due to injury, recorded 65 stops. McGlenn tallied 65 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for a loss last season. They will be joined by junior Brett McQuillkin, sophomores Brandon Spurlock, Andrew Straus and Jonathan Conner and red-shirt freshman Luke Martin. The Phoenix also welcomes newcomers Alex Encarnacion, Ronnie Hardison, Blake Thompson and David Williams. “Much like our offensive line, many of our defensive backs were playing as true freshmen – probably before they should have been,” said Lembo. “This is now an experienced group, but I want to see more consistency out of them this fall. We have some very talented incoming players and Brandon Spurlock had an outstanding spring. We should have good competition in the secondary during preseason camp.” SPECIALISTS With the losses of FCS national statistical leader in field goals, Andrew Wilcox, and punter Brandon Lane to graduation, Lembo will look to some fresh faces on special teams in 2009. Entering the year, sophomores Andy 2009 Phoenix Football

Cameron McGlenn

Leffler and Eric Carstens appear to be the favorites to land the punting job while red-shirt freshman Adam Shreiner seems to have an edge for the placekicking job. Red-shirt freshman John Reece and true freshman Kenton Beal will also be in the mix for the punting role, while Carstens, Shreiner, Leffler and Beal will compete for the kickoff duties. Sophomore Zach Henderson enters the fall as the squad’s long snapper with junior Patrick Campbell, senior Bruce Rosell and red-shirt freshman Brad Lind also figuring into the mix. Sophomore quarterback Chris Shafto will likely be the holder and red-shirt freshman Jared Thompson will back-up at that position. “Nowhere on the team were our losses as significant as with the specialists,” stated Lembo. “Special teams coordinator Dave Ungerer faces a big challenge as he evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of this group. Fortunately, we have a good nucleus of kids who are focused and hard-working.”

and six away – consists of six opponents that earned a winning record last season and three that advanced to postseason play. “The 2009 season promises to be an exciting one for our football program,” Lembo said. “In addition to the everchallenging SoCon lineup, our out-ofconference slate features a perfect mix of opponents for our constituents to enjoy.” Prior to the eight-game league schedule, the Phoenix will open the slate with three nonconference opponents by hosting Davidson on September 5 and visiting Presbyterian on September 12 and Wake Forest on September 19. Elon will then open SoCon play when Georgia Southern comes to Rhodes Stadium on September 26 during Elon’s Family Weekend. “The Wake Forest game gives us a chance to compete against an in-state FBS opponent and an academic peer. This opportunity will provide great exposure for our football program and for the university as a whole,” Lembo commented. “Presbyterian College is a long-time rival of Elon’s on the gridiron and the Davidson game gives us another opportunity to compete against an in-state academic equal.” After hosting Georgia Southern, the Phoenix will visit Furman on October 3 and host The Citadel on October 10 before observing its open date on October 17. Elon will then welcome Chattanooga to Rhodes Stadium on October 24 for Homecoming before traveling to Wofford on October 31 and Western Carolina on November 7. After that, the Phoenix will conclude the regular season with a home game against four-time defending SoCon champion Appalachian State on November 14 and a trip to Samford on November 21.

SCHEDULE In its seventh season as a member of the prestigious Southern Conference and 11th as a member of FCS, Elon will face a challenging 11-game schedule which features the program’s secondever meeting with a FBS opponent. The schedule – five games at home

No team in all of NCAA-IAA fashioned a better winning percentage during Lembo’s tenure with the Mountain Hawks than Lehigh (.813 at 78-18). The 78 wins over that span rank third behind Georgia Southern (87) and Montana (85). Lembo arrived on South Mountain in the summer of 1998 when he was hired by former head coach Kevin Higgins as running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. That fall, the Mountain Hawks went 12-1 and ended the year ranked 14th in the nation. After Lehigh completed the 1999 season with a 10-2 slate, Lembo was promoted to assistant head coach and offensive line coach in addition to his recruiting coordinator duties. When Higgins left to become an assistant with the Detroit Lions after the successful 2000 campaign, Lembo quickly became the 27th head coach in the history of the program. Lembo proved to be ready for the challenge as his 2001 team went 11-1, finishing No. 5 in both NCAA-IAA polls. The rookie coach was named both the Patriot League Coach of the Year and the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year while Lehigh became the first I-AA need-based scholarship program to ever win the prestigious Lambert Cup. Lembo’s gritty 2002 and 2003 teams posted back-to-back eight-victory records despite an upgraded schedule that included two I-A opponents. In both seasons, the Mountain Hawks knocked off league rival Fordham when the Rams also ranked among the top-25. In 2003, the Mountain Hawks posted a 6-1 league mark with an average margin of victory of over 21 points.

Ultimately, a student remains a prospect until enrolled at a four-year collegiate institution.

What kind of contact may I have with a prospect?

YOU MAY NOT: • Make any recruiting contacts with prospects or their relatives. This includes telephone calls, letters, emails, text message, chat rooms and facsimiles, along with any face-to-face contact either on or off-campus; • Assist Elon coaches by picking up transcripts, films or any other information pertaining to a prospect’s ability from the prospect’s educational institution; • Provide financial aid or benefit of any kind (e.g., clothing, special discounts, lodging, meals, transportation, tickets, loans of money) to prospects or their relatives; • Make contact with a prospective student-athlete or his/her parents when the prospect is on campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit; • Contact a prospective student-athlete to congratulate him/her on an offer of admission to Elon University; • Provide transportation or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect or his/her relatives or friends to visit campus; • Earmark funds for specific prospects to attend an Elon summer camp; • Employ or arrange for employment of a prospect before the completion of his/her senior year of high school.

Your own son or daughter would be an exception, but limits to the type of interaction your son or daughter could have with coaching staff members at the event still apply. YOU MAY: • Forward information about prospects to the appropriate coaching staff member; • View a prospect’s athletic contests on your own initiative, provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents, coach, principal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the academic or athletic abilities of the prospect. If contact is unavoidable, only greetings may be exchanged. Additionally, you are responsible for all incurred costs or fees at a contest;

• Speak to a prospect on the telephone ONLY if the prospect initiates the call. Such a call cannot be prearranged by the athletic department. You MAY NOT have a recruiting conversation, but you may refer questions about the athletics program to the athletic department staff; • Provide lodging, meals and transportation to coaching staff members when they are recruiting in your area; • Join a friends group to help provide support and funding for recruiting, special trips and receptions at home and away contests; or • Invite a team to meet with alumni or friends in a city where they play. Studentathletes may receive benefits as a team in conjunction with an away contest, which individual student-athletes may not, but such arrangements must be made through the head coach.

What kind of involvement may I have with enrolled student-athletes?

YOU MAY NOT: • Pay for or arrange for payment of room, board or any type of transportation at any time for currently enrolled studentathletes, their relatives, or their friends; • Provide student-athletes with any sort of extra benefit, which refers to any special arrangement to provide a student-athlete or his/her relatives or friends with a benefit unavailable to the general student population; • Provide student-athletes, their relatives or their friends with any special discount, payment arrangement (e.g., cosigning a loan), credits on a purchase (e.g. airline tickets, clothing), or services (e.g., dry cleaning, transportation); • Allow a student-athlete to use your telephone to make free calls; • Provide awards or gifts to studentathletes for any reason. This also prohibits honorariums for speaking engagements. All awards to student-athletes must meet all NCAA legislation and be approved by the compliance office; • Use the name, picture or appearances of an enrolled student-athlete to advertise, recommend or promote sales or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Any use of the name, picture or appearance of a student-athlete must receive authorization from the Compliance Office; • Entertain student-athletes or their family and friends. The only exception to this is that YOU MAY, on an occasional basis, provide a student-athlete or team (not family members or friends) with a meal. The meal can be catered, but it must be in your home and be approved in advance by the Compliance Office. 2009 Phoenix Football

2009 Phoenix Football

Davidson Wildcats September 5 • 7 p.m. Rhodes Stadium • Elon, N.C.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons September 19 • 6:30 p.m. BB&T Field • Winston-Salem, N.C.

Furman Paladins October 3 • 3 p.m. Paladin Stadium • Greenville, S.C.

Elon and Davidson will square off for the first time since 1954 in the 2009 season-opener for both teams. Elon has just one victory in the 17-game history of the series with the Wildcats. That win came the last time the two programs met – a 14-6 decision at Davidson on November 20, 1954. The series began in 1921. Davidson, led by fifth-year head coach Tripp Merritt, will look to build on last year’s 4-7 overall mark and 3-5 Pioneer League finish with the assistance of 11 returning total starters. At halftime, Elon will honor its 2009 Hall of Fame inductees. Coaches Take: “Davidson has been very competitive in the much improved Pioneer League. Members of this non-scholarship FCS conference have knocked off teams from automatic qualifying leagues in recent years. Coach Merritt has done a nice job improving the depth in his program and I am sure his players will be highly motivated for the opportunity to play Elon at Rhodes Stadium in the opener.”

Elon will take on its second-ever FBS opponent when the Phoenix visits the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in mid-September. Wake Forest is coming off of an 8-5 year and a 29-19 win over Navy in the inaugural EagleBank Bowl game. Elon is winless in nine tries against Wake Forest as the Demon Deacons hold an 8-0-1 advantage in the series that began in 1920. The two sides have not faced each other since a 34-0 Wake Forest victory on September 16, 1939. Coaches Take: “We proved to ourselves in 2007 that we could compete against a quality FBS program in South Florida. Many of our current players made their first start in that game two years ago. That experience should be beneficial when we head over to Winston-Salem. Coach Grobe has built the Deacon program into a consistent winner in the ACC and I greatly admire the way he runs his operation. This game is not just a great opportunity for Elon football, but for Elon University as a whole.”

After earning just the program’s second victory in 12 tries against the Furman Paladins in 2008 (31-10), Elon heads down I-85 for a showdown with Furman at Paladin Stadium. Last season’s win for the Phoenix was the first over Furman since Elon joined the SoCon. The only other Elon win in the series came in 1999. Furman finished 2008 at 7-5 overall and 4-4 in the competitive SoCon. Coaches Take: “Furman has bolstered their already experienced roster with three high profile FBS transfers in the off season. Paladin Stadium is an extremely difficult place to win at and Furman will be looking to avenge last year’s loss when both of us were nationally ranked. Furman is historically one of the most reputable programs in the entire FCS. When we arrived at Elon three years ago, we set their program as the barometer to measure our progress. Last year’s win was fulfilling, but now we must prove that it was not a fluke.”

Presbyterian Blue Hose September 12 • 1:30 p.m. Bailey Stadium • Clinton, S.C. The Phoenix will make its first road trip of the season when it visits the Presbyterian Blue Hose in week number two. Elon was 4-2 on the road in 2008, while PC was 4-2 at Bailey Stadium. This will mark the 44th meeting between the two programs with Elon holding a 23-18-2 advantage in the series. The Phoenix has won five straight, and 10 of the last 12, in the series. Presbyterian, who is eligible for the Big South Conference title for the first time this year, features a new leader as Harold Nichols is in his first year as the head coach of the Blue Hose. The Phoenix is one of four Southern Conference programs on Presbyterian’s schedule this year (Furman, Chattanooga, The Citadel). Coaches Take: “Presbyterian has a new coaching staff and we will only have one game video to evaluate from the previous week. Most of their players return from 2008 and the Blue Hose had some good wins down the stretch including defeating nationally ranked Liberty at home. Our guys must appreciate that last year’s lopsided win over PC is history. This will be a very difficult and important game for us to win on the road.”

Georgia Southern Eagles September 26 • 1:30 p.m. Rhodes Stadium • Elon, N.C. Returning home to Rhodes Stadium for Family Weekend, the Phoenix will look to win its third consecutive contest against the Georgia Southern Eagles. Elon trails the all-time series by a 7-2 margin. The last three meetings have all been decided by seven or fewer points. The two Phoenix victories have been by a combined margin of just five points, including a 36-33 double overtime game the last time the two played in Rhodes Stadium. Coaches Take: “The three games we have played against Georgia Southern since our staff arrived at Elon have been decided by a total of 12 points. Fortunately, we have found a way to win the last two. I am not sure how the Georgia Southern players view us at this point, but I know this match up has become a bit of a rivalry game for our players. This will be our first conference game of the 2009 season and it will be important to get off to a good start.”

The Citadel Bulldogs October 10 • 1:30 p.m. Rhodes Stadium • Elon, N.C. Elon head coach Pete Lembo will guide his Phoenix into a showdown with The Citadel Bulldogs, coached by former Lembo mentor Kevin Higgins. Elon picked up its first win over The Citadel since becoming a SoCon member with a 27-23 victory in Charleston, S.C. last year. It was just the second win in eight games against the Bulldogs for Elon. The Citadel features one of the top wide receivers at the FCS level in senior Andre Roberts, a potential NFL draft pick. The Bulldogs ended the 2008 year with a 4-8 overall record and a 2-6 SoCon ledger. Coaches Take: “Much like Furman, The Citadel has added some FBS transfers who could make an immediate impact. The Bulldogs already have an outstanding pro prospect in receiver Andre Roberts and a capable quarterback in Bart Blanchard who can get him the football. Combined with an able coaching staff, The Citadel should field a team that is capable of beating anyone in the SoCon this fall. We have done a poor job protecting the football in our last three games against the Bulldogs and were fortunate to escape with a win in Charleston last season.”

2009 Phoenix Football

Appalachian St. Mountaineers November 14 • 3 p.m. Rhodes Stadium • Elon, N.C.

Chattanooga Mocs October 24 • 1:30 p.m. Rhodes Stadium • Elon, N.C. Following an off week, the Phoenix gets back on the gridiron at Rhodes Stadium for Homecoming with a SoCon contest against the Chattanooga Mocs. The Mocs are led by first-year head coach Russ Huesman who took over the program following a 1-11 campaign for UTC in 2008. Chattanooga, which returns 16 starters from a year ago, enters the season having dropped its last 12 league contests. Elon is 4-2 all-time against the Mocs, including three consecutive victories in the series. Coaches Take: “Chattanooga has always had some of the best athletes in the Southern Conference. Their secondary is very experienced and may be among the best in the entire FCS this fall. With the addition of a standout transfer quarterback from The University of Tennessee and a new, highly motivated coaching staff, the Mocs could pose a real threat this season. Fortunately, we will be hosting them at Rhodes Stadium in front of a large Homecoming crowd.” Wofford Terriers October 31 • 1:30 p.m. Gibbs Stadium • Spartanburg, S.C. Elon makes its second trip of the season to the Upstate of South Carolina when the Phoenix pays a visit to the Wofford Terriers for a SoCon showdown on Halloween. The last time that the Phoenix invaded Gibbs Stadium, 24th-ranked Elon upset the seventh-ranked Terriers 24-13. Wofford avenged that loss with a victory at Elon’s Rhodes Stadium last year. The Phoenix is 10-22 all-time against the 2009 Phoenix Football

Terriers. Wofford finished 2008 with a 9-3 overall record and a 7-1 league mark. The Terriers were eliminated in the first round of the FCS Playoffs by James Madison last year. Coaches Take: “Wofford’s program has improved to the point where they simply reload every year. They have had incredible stability on their coaching staff and have found the right athletes to fit their unique system. Turnovers have been the telling statistic in our three clashes with the Terriers. In 2007, we caused four turnovers and did not have a single miscue en route to a 24-13 win. Last year, we turned it over four times and Wofford got the best of us at Rhodes Stadium.” Western Carolina Catamounts November 7 • 1 p.m. E.J. Whitmire Stadium • Cullowhee, N.C. After dropping four straight meetings with Western Carolina, the Phoenix has won the last three tilts in this series that dates back to 1933. Elon is 20-16-2 against Western in the previous 38 contests. The Catamounts went 3-9 overall last year (1-7 in the SoCon) under first-year head coach Dennis Wagner, but return 14 starters for the 2009 season. Coaches Take: “Western Carolina is a hostile environment for any visiting team. While the Catamounts do not get the same notoriety for their home field advantage as Georgia Southern, Appalachian State and The Citadel, I assure you it is a tough place to play. Between the large marching band and the student section, it is difficult to stay focused on the task at hand. We were fortunate to escape with a win up there two years ago.”

The Phoenix makes its final appearance of the regular season at Rhodes Stadium in mid-November, playing host to the defending Southern Conference Champion Appalachian State Mountaineers. Elon has dropped 13 straight to Appalachian State in a series which got underway in 1937. ASU, winners of three of the last four FCS national titles, leads the all-time series 27-9-1. The Mountaineers went 11-3 overall (8-0 in the SoCon) last year before bowing out of the FCS Playoffs with a 33-13 loss to eventual National Champion Richmond. Coaches Take: “Appalachian State is everyone’s preseason favorite to win the Southern Conference. Some have also picked them to win the National Championship. With Armanti Edwards entering his senior year at quarterback and a host of talented players on both sides of the ball, you can understand why many feel this way. Over the last three years, we have closed the gap with the Mountaineers, including a thriller in Boone last November that had championship implications. I am sure we will have another terrific crowd when we host ASU this fall.” Samford Bulldogs November 21 • 3 p.m. Seibert Stadium • Birmingham, Ala. Elon wraps up the regular season with a trip to the Southern Conference’s newest member, the Samford Bulldogs. The Phoenix leads the series with Samford 5-2, including a 23-17 Elon win at Rhodes Stadium last season. The first meeting between the two sides came in September of 1973, but the programs did not meet again before playing every year from 1997-2001. The Bulldogs completed their inaugural SoCon campaign with a 6-5 overall record and a 4-4 mark in league play, finishing tied for fourth last year. Coaches Take: “I was not surprised that Samford was very competitive in their first season in the Southern Conference in 2008. They have an experienced coaching staff, excellent resources and their facilities are now among the best in the conference. This will be a very challenging game for us and the logistics of an eight hour bus trip to Birmingham will also be very challenging. We need to be healthy, well-rested and extremely focused heading into this final SoCon contest.”

2009 Phoenix Football

The Southern Conference, which enters its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the develJohn Iamarino opment of the studentCommissioner athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision conference Jason Yaman Asst. Commissioner since earning that classification in 1981. The Media Relations Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. MEMBERSHIP HISTORY The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference.

Nov. 15, 2008 • Kidd Brewer Stadium (24,831) BOONE, N.C. — Armanti Edwards passed for 147 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another 104 yards as No. 2 Appalachian State overcame No. 10 Elon for a 24-16 Southern Conference football triumph on a winddriven, freezing rain and snowy Saturday afternoon in front of 24,831 screaming fans at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The three-time defending conference and national champion Mountaineers struck first when Ben Jorden hauled in a 13-yard touchdown pass from Armanti Edwards in the first quarter. Appalachian State stretched its lead to 14-0 when Edwards hit Matt Cline with a 33-yard touchdown heave in the second period. Elon 0 Appalachian St. 7

1980 NAIA National Football Champions Elon football has a rich tradition that reached a fever-pitch in the early 1980’s when Elon captured back-to-back NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) national championships. For many longtime Elon fans, the memories of 1980 and 1981 are ones they will always cherish, always remember. The 1980 Elon squad finished the regular season with a 9-1 record and a No. 3 ranking in the final NAIA regular season poll. Despite that lofty ranking, Elon was dispatched to the road, where it had to win close games over Concord (W.Va.) and East Texas State. A late goal

line stand at East Texas preserved a 14-6 Elon victory, setting the stage for the next week’s championship bout at home against Northeastern Oklahoma. It marked the first time a national football title game of any kind had been played on North Carolina soil, and Elon did not disappoint a packed house of over 10,000 at Burlington Memorial Stadium. On that memorable afternoon, All-America running back Bobby Hedrick capped a magnificent career with a 185-yard effort, and Elon batted away a desperation pass to wrap up the title with a 17-10 win.

Celebrating the first of two back-to-back National Championships

1981 NAIA National Football Champions In 1981, Elon earned another playoff berth with an 8-1-1 regular season finish. Elon posted wins over Concord (W.Va.) and Hillsdale (Mich.) in the opening rounds of the playoffs. That allowed Elon to host its second consecutive national championship contest, this time against the Gorillas of Pittsburg State. The visitors from Kansas gave Elon quite a fight as the teams battled to a scoreless deadlock entering the final quarter of play. The weather played a major role

in the game. With temperatures well below freezing, footing on the Memorial Stadium turf became trickier as the afternoon progressed. Finally, Elon mounted a drive which stalled inside the Pittsburg State 10-yard line. All-America kicker and future Elon Hall-of-Famer Phil Renn lined up for a 23-yard field goal that split the uprights with 11:59 left to play, providing the contest’s only points en route to a 3-0 Elon victory.
