50 Academic Majors


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

WE ARE ... “Since my fresman year, I’ve seen a lot of changes. But mostly, I’ve seen the team grow together as a unit, both on and off the field. We spend a lot of time together. That shows the love and commitment that we have for one another; we’re brothers rather than teammates. “I have also seen the commitment grow over the years as well. Every year, more and more people are here in the summer training, working hard and getting better. Just think, my freshman year we were working to just win a game. Now, we’re talking about Southern Conference championships and national playoff appearances. Coach Lembo got us believing, and the fans and community are starting to as well.” Tim Happer, Senior Defensive End

“Elon University has truly prepared me for life after college. The internship opportunities have allowed me to gain first hand experience in high volume work environments that will greatly benefit my future endeavors. Since my first semester at Elon, the community has been uncandidly supportive, going out of their way in helping me be successful.” Tim Applegate, Senior Fullback

“Being a student athelete at Elon helps direct you towards your goals, both academic and athletic. You are able to get a great education as well as play in the toughest FCS conference in the country. Football at Elon will make you well prepared for challenges in the future.” Jeff Allen, Junior Offensive Lineman

“Throughout the many years that I have participated in sports, I have been a part of several teams with different makeups. I feel that the we interact with each other like a family, like brothers, and the coaches are father figures. We have that special connection that it takes to be successful. I feel that the relationships we have built with one another here are ones that know when there is a time to play and a time to handle business, more than often we do both together. The progress we have shown through season records and around the community in the past few years shows that we are growing not only as a football family, but as a program as well. ” Nolan Ward, Junior Defensive Back

“I think the relationships that we have with our coaches here is something that makes Elon really special. Whether it’s the jokes that we share during meetings or at practice or going over to our coaches’ houses for dinner, it’s something that makes it really special. “The relationships that we all share are important because it’s something that lives with us for our four or five years in school. The group here at Elon is very close. The time we spend together helps us work towards our goals of a Southern Conference title and a national championship.” Brandon Lane, Senior Punter

“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-the-box 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

“There are so many opportunities for everyone on the team to play and have fun. From my experience last year as a freshman, I can say that if you are good enough to play as a freshman, than you will play. Whether it be on special teams, second string or first string, if you can play and listen to the coaching staff, then you’ll see time on the field.” Sean Jeffcoat, Sophomore Wide Receiver

“Elon football has been quite an experience for me, not only on the field but also in the classroom. Elon has taught me skills that will carry over into the real world such as time time management and the ability to work well with others. As far as my football career during the four years that I’ve been here I’ve seen many changes. Whether its quarterbacks, coaches, positions, and even fans. After seeing results for myself I’ve realized that change is good. Our coaches have taught us that you can’t be what you’re NOT but with a little dedication and determination you can be what you WANT. ” Corey Weaver, Senior Linebacker

SUPPORT FROM THE TOP DAVE BLANK

Director of Athletics

“Pete Lembo and his staff have quickly instilled excitement into our football program - on the Elon campus and around the Elon and Burlington area communities. In two short seasons under Coach Lembo and his staff, our program has reached the level of a national ranking at the FCS level. They have not only provided our football student-athletes with the guidance necessary to become Southern Conference and FCS contenders on the field of competition, but also inspired them to become the best they can be in the classroom and in the community as well. We are proud to have Coach Lembo and his staff leading the Elon University football program and are excited for the 2008 season to begin.”

DR. LEO LAMBERT Elon University President

“Pete Lembo brings enthusiasm, integrity and charisma to Phoenix football. He helps students understand that academic success is their top priority, and he teaches them about keeping football and other activities in proper balance. You’ll find Pete and his staff participating at many campus functions as active and involved members of the Elon community. He has built strong relationships with faculty and staff across the campus and has made a tremendous impact in building positive support for the athletics program.”

DR. GERRY FRANCIS Elon University Provost

“Pete Lembo has generated excitement and momentum for the Phoenix football program. His coaching passion, experience and reputation among his peers are tremendous assets in advancing Elon football toward its goal of achieving excellence. I especially respect Pete’s focus on building lifelong relationships with student-athletes, helping them prepare for their careers and keeping their academic priorities at the forefront during their college careers.”

“Pete Lembo has been one of the most productive coaches in FCS football over the past several years. He was highly successful at Lehigh and he has taken that same formula for success to Elon and has produced immediate results. The bottom line is that Pete Lembo is a winner!”

“When you play against a Pete Lembo coached team, you know that they will be tough, well coached and most importantly well conditioned. Pete’s teams have always impressed me with their fundamentals and their passion to win.”

Tim Landis Head Football Coach, Bucknell University

Randy Edsall Head Football Coach, University of Connecticut

“Coach Lembo has a proven track record of success on the field, but he’s also a great ambassador for a program by being very accessible and forthcoming for its fans, media and players.”

“Coach Lembo is one of the brightest young head coaches in all of Division I. The experience he has running a successful program, so early in his career, is most impressive. I’m also struck by Coach Lembo’s drive to boldly charge outside of his comfort zone and attack new professional challenges. He is very savvy about the image of his program and how to present that effectively. He is a strong leader and spokesperson and there is no doubt about who is in charge. Coach Lembo is also blessed with a strong and balanced perspective on college athletics and life. He understands the big issues, but at his core he is a strong family man, the kind of husband and father we all want to be. He recruits good athletes, good students and good citizens. Elon University supporters are very fortunate to have such leadership in their head football coach!”

Matt Dougherty Former Executive Director of I-AA Football, The Sports Network “Pete Lembo is one of the most thorough and organized football coaches that I have ever been around. His teams have always been very well prepared offensively and defensively as well as on special teams. Elon is very fortunate to have Pete Lembo for its football coach.” Dave Clawson Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach, University of Tennessee “Pete Lembo is one of the best coaches and classiest people that I have had the privilege to cover at any level of football. I have no doubt that the cerebral, teaching-oriented approach that established him as one of I-AA’s most successful coaches at Lehigh will work wonders at Elon.” Tony Moss NFL Editor/Columnist, The Sports Network “Pete Lembo has demonstrated that his excellent coaching skills and leadership extend far beyond the playing field. Through career fairs, summer work programs and involvement within the community, Pete is preparing his studentathletes for the greatest game of all: Life.”

Otto Fad CFAA “Coach Lembo’s teams at Lehigh were well coached and competed on the national level. Elon is very fortunate to have a coach of his ability. He will quickly have the Elon program pointed in the right direction and back in the national picture.” Dick Biddle Head Football Coach, Colgate University

THE FUTURE HOME OF ... Elon University to Expand John Koury Field House

In December of 2007, leadership commitments from two couples with historic ties to Elon athletics generated significant momentum for the expansion and renovation of the John Koury Field House. The original facility opened in 1980 with a gift from the Koury family. With completed funding, construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2009 with completion scheduled for fall of 2010.

Pictured from L-R: Head Coach Pete Lembo, Zac Walker, Dot Walker, Elon President Dr. Leo Lambert, Amy Hendrickson, Jay Hendrickson, Elon Director of Athletics Dave Blank

Alumnus and trustee Zac Walker and his wife Dot of Raleigh, N.C. made a commitment to name the athletic director’s suite in honor of Zac’s father, Zachary T. Walker, Jr., a member of Elon’s Sports Hall of Fame and Zac’s uncle, D.C. “Peahead” Walker, another of Elon’s all time great coaches. ELON UNIVERSITY - “FINISH”

Community service is part of Elon’s institutional culture, and the Phoenix football team has been as active as any group on campus when it comes to serving the Elon and Burlington communities. During the 2007-08 academic year, Elon football players volunteered to conduct both a Special Olymipcs Bowling Tournament and a Special Olympics Field Day. The players were also volunteers at Elonthon, a dance marathon which supports the Duke Children’s Hospital, and with Crossroads, a local sexual assault awareness organization. Phoenix players also hosted a field day for children living in the Burlington Housing Authority and volunteered at the Madison Elementary Spring Fling, the Elon Career Fair, the Eastern Guilford Middle School Career Fair, the Boys and Girls Club of Burlington and a football clinic at Graham Middle School.

THE PHOENIX IN THE COMMUNITY


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

THE 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!

Leo M. Lambert became Elon’s eighth president in January 1999. Very early in his tenure, his responsibilities included completing the Elon Vision strategic plan, including the construction of Rhodes Stadium and the opening of Belk Library. Today, Lambert’s work focuses on an ambitious new strategic vision which aims to place Elon, with a national reputation for engaged learning, among the nation’s best small, selective, private universities. Substantial progress has been achieved toward realizing this goal. The academic climate of the campus has been strengthened by endowed programs such as the Kenan Honors Fellowships, the Baird Pulitzer Prize Lectures and the Isabella Cannon Distinguished Visiting Professorship in Leadership. He has led efforts to more than double expenditures for library acquisitions, increase faculty sabbatical opportunities and improve Elon’s position in Division I athletics by joining the Southern Conference. Lambert has been committed to further strengthening Elon’s renowned programs of experiential learning, and the results have included top national rankings for Elon’s study abroad, volunteer service, undergraduate research and leadership programs. Lambert has provided national leadership in efforts such as Campus Compact and Project Pericles, which encourage students to become civically engaged in their communities. During his tenure, the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business has attained AACSB International accreditation, the School of Communications has achieved accreditation by ACEJMC and the Elon University School of Law, which opened in Greensboro in 2006, achieved American Bar Association provisional approval in 2008. Recent new campus facilities have included the Ernest A. Koury Sr. Business Center, the Academic Village, The Colonnades dining hall and residence halls, The Oaks residence complex and Belk Track and White Field. Lambert has written extensively about post-secondary education and is co-editor of a book about university teaching that was published by the Syracuse University Press in 2005. His alma mater, the State University of New York, awarded him an honorary doctorate of human letters in 2002 in recognition of exceptional achievements in higher education. Lambert’s greatest honor in life, in collaboration with his wife Laurie, has been the privilege of parenting two daughters, Callie, a student at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Mollie, a student at Furman University.

ELON ADMINISTRATION


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION Dave Blank begins his third year as the Elon University Director of Athletics for the 2008-09 campaign, following another year of notable improvement for the Phoenix in terms of athletic success, academic progress, marketing and fundraising. During his first two years at Elon, he has ignited ambitious expansions in the Department of Athletics – including a restructuring of the Phoenix Club with emphasis on funding scholarships for student-athletes, a restructuring of the academic assistance program for athletics in conjunction with the Office of the Provost and a plan for future facility improvements, including an already completed renovation and expansion of the Latham Park baseball facility. In June 2008, Blank was appointed to serve on the NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet – a 31-member cabinet consisting of athletics directors, senior woman administrators and faculty athletic representatives representing the nation’s multi-sport Division I conferences which will help shape the future of Division I athletics. Under Blank’s direction, 12 of Elon’s 16 teams fashioned higher Southern Conference finishes during the 200708 season than they did during the 2006-07 campaign. What makes that fact even more impressive is that 10 Phoenix squads achieved a higher SoCon finish during the 2006-07 season than they did during the previous campaign. In 2007-08, the Phoenix baseball team went on to claim SoCon outright regular season and tournament crowns en route to making the program’s third NCAA regional appearance in seven seasons. Also, Elon fell one mere victory shy of capturing the SoCon’s automatic NCAA postseason bid in football, men’s basketball and men’s tennis. During the 2006-07 season, Elon notched its first winning record in men’s soccer at the Division I level and posted SoCon outright regular season and tournament titles and an NCAA postseason appearance in men’s tennis. The Phoenix men’s soccer (2006), football (2007), men’s tennis (2007 and 2008) and baseball (2008) teams have all earned national rankings during Blank’s time at Elon. Blank became the Elon Director of Athletics in 2006 after spending six years as the Director of Athletics at Drake University. At Drake, he directed an 18-sport NCAA Division I athletics program that competes in the Missouri Valley Conference. He was responsible for the creation of a comprehensive academic assistance program. During his tenure, Drake student-athletes consistently posted a combined grade-point average of 3.0 or above. Also, Blank oversaw the addition of the women’s crew, women’s golf and women’s soccer programs at Drake. Facility enhancements were a priority during his tenure at Drake, including upgrades in the softball complex, renovation of the strength and conditioning facilities and new locker rooms for several sports. Under Blank’s guidance, Drake completed a $17 million renovation of Drake Stadium, which hosts football, soccer and track and field events as well as the nationally known Drake Relays. He restructured the Bulldog Club, which provides financial support for Drake athletics, resulting in a 90-percent increase in gifts. He also enhanced the marketing of Drake athletics to generate additional exposure and corporate donations. Blank served as chairman of the Missouri Valley Conference Championship Committee and was a member of the NCAA I-AA Governance Committee and Football Issues Committee. He received Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director accolades from the All-American Football Foundation in 2005. Before moving to Drake in 2000, Blank worked at Coastal Carolina University where he served as Assistant/Associate Director of Athletics for three years (1996-99) and Director of Athletics for one year (1999-2000). Blank directed the CINO Club, increasing fiscal contributions to Coastal Carolina athletics by more than 200 percent. He spearheaded efforts to raise more than $4 million to establish an intercollegiate football program at the university, which began play in 2003. Before moving into athletics administration, Blank spent eight seasons (1988-1996) as head men’s basketball coach at Lock Haven University. Blank’s teams won 119 games during his tenure, making him the winningest head men’s basketball coach in Lock Haven history. He was named Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1989 and 1996. A native of Frostburg, Md., Blank attended Duke University for two years (1978-1980) before graduating from South Carolina in 1982 with a bachelor of science degree in business administration (finance). He earned a master of science degree in business administration from South Carolina in 1986. Blank and his wife, Leslie, are the proud parents of four children – Dexter, Samantha, Dustin and Davis.

ATHLETIC TRAINING


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

ACADEMIC SUPPORT The Elon University Athletic Department is proactive in ensuring the academic success of all student-athletes from their recruiting visit through graduation. Integral components of academic support for athletics include the academic enhancement program, registration services, tutorial services, travel notices, recruiting visits, laptops and life skills.

Academic Enhancement Program (AEP)

All freshmen and select upperclassmen participate in the Academic Enhancement Program. All student-athletes in AEP meet with their assigned academic coordinator each week to discuss academic progress and concerns. In addition to weekly meetings, student-athletes in AEP are required to complete monitored study hours. To accommodate class and practice schedules, both daytime and nighttime options are available to complete monitored study hours.

Life Skills

In addition to the academic support provided by Elon Athletics, programs are also in place to promote and enhance the student-athlete experience. Programs and speakers address topics such as freshman transition issues, health and wellness, and career/graduate school preparation. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council is an organization for student-athletes, run by student-athletes, to provide an opportunity to serve the athletic, Elon and greater Burlington communities.

Academic Success

Phoenix athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Last year, Elon landed two Academic All-Americans and saw 57 student-athletes earn Academic All-Southern Conference honors.

Registration Services

All student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor through the academic advising office. The academic advisor serves as the primary contact for preregistration and graduation requirements and student-athletes meet with their academic advisor prior to the beginning of registration to determine scheduling needs. Student-athletes also meet with the academic coordinator for their sport to balance their academic schedule with athletic demands, such as in-season versus out-of-season scheduling.

Rhodes Stadium Facts & Figures Rhodes Stadium is designed to give fans the ultimate game-day experience. 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. As you stroll the concourse and settle into your seat, you might be interested in these facts: Rhodes Stadium * Named for trustee Dusty Rhodes, his wife, Peggy, and their family * Square footage: 19,817 (not including playing surface) * Cubic yards of concrete: 5,500 * Tons of steel: 102 * Number of bricks: 260,000 * Height of Woods Center press box: 59 feet * Height of light towers: 110 feet * Height of bell tower: 57 feet About McKinnon Field Rhodes Stadium is much more than steel, concrete, bricks and mortar. The green grass of the playing field is the result of extensive research and planning, and sophisticated construction methods. Named in honor of trustee Bob McKinnon ‘62 and his wife, Ray, McKinnon Field is identical to the playing surfaces in many NFL stadiums. McGovern Sports Fields, Inc., of Ft. Myers, Fla., which installed similar fields for venues such as Ericsson Stadium in Charlotte and Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, did the work for McKinnon 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, with McGovern’s crew gradually lowering its height from 3/4-inch to 7/16-inch, the height maintained for games. 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 12-14 inches per hour, which means it could take a foot of rain and one hour later be suitable for play.”

About The Designer Rhodes Stadium was designed by Ellerbe Becket, a global leader in architecture, engineering and the construction services industry. With 90+ years of experience, Ellerbe Becket has designed nearly every major building type. The firm is a leader in professional and collegiate sports venue design. Some 25 million people a year click the turnstiles of Ellerbe Becket sports and entertainment projects. Over the past decade, the firm has been involved in well-known projects such as Atlanta’s 1996 Centennial Olympic Stadium and the retractable roof Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix, as well as renovations to historic Notre Dame Stadium, New York’s Madison Square Garden and the legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wis. About 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. Furman Moseley & Nick TheosMoseley 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. As principal, Theos drew on the lessons he learned as the son of a Greek Orthodox immigrant mother in a poor area of North Charleston that he called “The Bowery.” When he began school, he didn’t speak a word of English. Even though his parents struggled to make ends meet, his mother insisted on music lessons, which helped Theos develop a lifelong love of classical music. He later went on to sing with the Charleston Symphony and win honors as the top baritone in state competition. 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. Theos was an advocate for values-oriented education, and insisted on programs that gave students a sense of morality and discipline. Under his leadership, enrollment flourished and SAT scores were above the national average.

The Southern Conference, which enters its 88th season of intercollegiate competition in 2008, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the student-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 confernece since earning that classification in 1981. The 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 RhodesScholarship winners have been selected from the conference. The Southern Conference office is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. 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. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans five Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. Elon joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2003. The Phoenix replaced Virginia Military Institute which left the conference on June 30, 2003. East Tennessee State, which joined the SoCon in 1978, left the conference following the conclusion of the 2004-05 academic year. Samford joined the league beginning with the 2008 season. FOOTBALL The Southern Conference has the most prolific history among FCS football conferences. The league boasts the best winning percentage in the history of the FCS Playoffs. League players have garnered over 200

ELON UNIVERSITY - “FINISH”

All-America selections and numerous national playeror coach-of-the-year awards. The conference has had at least one team in the Top 10 of the final FCS poll for 22 consecutive years with at least two teams finishing in the Top 20 in every season since 1982. The conference has placed multiple representatives in the FCS Playoffs in 20 of 24 seasons, with 14 Championship Game appearances and six national titles, including the last three by Appalachian State. Georgia Southern won back-to-back national championships including a 27-25 win over Montana in the 2000 title game and a 59-24 win over Youngstown State in 1999. Furman advanced to the championship title game in 2001 before falling to Montana. The SoCon has had at least one team reach the semifinals in seven of the last eight years and in 12 of the last 14 seasons. In 1988, Furman won the I-AA national championship in its second trip to the title game. The Paladins defeated Georgia Southern 17-12, avenging a loss to the Eagles in the 1985 championship game. Marshall ended its I-AA tenure with its second national title. The Thundering Herd advanced to the national championship game five times during the 1990s, winning the title over Youngstown State in 1992 and Montana in 1996. Prior to the conference’s reclassification, Southern Conference football teams appeared in a total of 34 bowl games, posting a record of 16-17-2. There are nearly 40 former Southern Conference players in the College Football Hall of Fame. One of the most recognizable of these names is former North Carolina running back Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. During his four years as a Tar Heel, Justice helped guide North Carolina to three major bowl appearances. He was a first team All-America selection in 1948 and 1949. In 1949, Justice earned first team all-conference honors for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the first player in league history to achieve that feat. Only three other football players have earned all-conference honors four times since Justice. Another of the league’s football products that made it to the College Football Hall of Fame is Sam Huff of West Virginia. Huff was a three-year starter on both the offensive and defensive lines for the Mountaineers. In 1955, Huff earned first team All-America honors on the field and was a first team Academic All-America for his work in the classroom. He played 12 seasons in the National Football League for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. He was a five-time All-Pro defensive lineman and is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In recent years, the SoCon has continued to produce outstanding student-athletes. Three recent winners of the Walter Payton Award have come from the Southern Conference. Georgia Southern’s Adrian Peterson captured the trophy given annually to FCS’ most outstanding offensive player in 1999. Furman’s Louis Ivory was awarded the honor in 2000 and Georgia Southern’s Jayson Foster won the award in 2007. Appalachian State’s Dexter Coakley was a three-time all-conference selection and consensus All-America in 1994, 1995 and 1996 before going on to stardom with the Dallas Cowboys. Coakley won a pair of Buck Buchanan Awards, given to FCS’ top defensive player each year. Terrell Owens went from catching passes at Chattanooga to a stellar NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers. Western Carolina’s David Patten and Appalachian State’s Matt Stevens were both members of the New England Patriots Super Bowl Champion team in 2002 and Patten also earned Super Bowl rings with the Patriots in 2004 and 2005.

Pete Lembo was announced as Elon University’s 19th head football coach in December of 2005 after serving the previous five years as the head coach at Lehigh University. Lembo will lead Elon into its 87th football season as well as its 10th campaign as an official NCAA-FCS member and sixth in the Southern Conference in 2008. During his two seasons at the helm of the Elon program, Lembo has taken the Phoenix from the bottom of the SoCon standings to becoming a championship contender and top-25 program in the FCS national polls. Lembo has rejuvenated the Phoenix football program while building support and bringing energy to the entire Elon University community. Off the field, the program has made noticeable improvements in the areas of academic progress, recruiting, alumni relations, home game attendance, scheduling, community outreach and fund-raising under Lembo’s guidance. At 38 years of age, Lembo remains one of the youngest head coaches in all of Division I football. His career record of 56-24 (.700) makes him one of the top active coaches at the Division I FCS level in terms of overall winning percentage. In 2007, Lembo’s squad posted the program’s most victories in seven years, finishing the campaign with a 7-4 overall mark. Elon’s 4-3 conference ledger, its first winning mark in the SoCon, tied the team for third in the league. The Phoenix appeared in the national polls throughout the year, finishing the season ranked 23rd in both the Sports Network and FCS Coaches polls. Elon picked up victories over top-25 ranked teams in Wofford and Georgia Southern while also knocking off Big South Conference champion Liberty. For his efforts, Lembo was honored as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year and finished sixth in the voting for the Eddie Robinson Award, presented annually to the National Coach of the Year. Lembo’s 2007 team set numerous Elon, Southern Conference and NCAA records. Among those were the NCAA single-season record for receptions by two teammates. Michael Mayers and Terrell Hudgins combined for 207 catches, surpassing the previous mark held by Jerry Rice and Joe Thomas of Mississippi Valley State. Quarterback Scott Riddle established an Elon single-season and NCAA freshman record for total offense at 3,738 yards while setting a new SoCon and NCAA freshman standard for total offense average at 347.0 yards per game. Elon’s offense rated second nationally in passing offense and ninth in scoring offense in 2007. Last season, five different Phoenix players claimed All-SoCon accolades while Hudgins went on to become a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, given annually to the country’s top player at the FCS level, and Riddle was National Freshman of the Year and SoCon Freshman of the Year. In his first year at Elon, Lembo and his plan made an immediate impact as the Phoenix finished the 2006 season with a 5-6 mark, two victories more than the previous season. Elon also knocked off a top-25 opponent for the first time in six years, led the league in passing offense and had two All-Americans. Lembo spent eight years at Lehigh, serving the Mountain Hawks as an assistant coach for three seasons (recruiting coordinator in 1998-2000, running back coach in 1998-99 and offensive line coach in 2000) before taking over as head coach for the 2001 campaign. Each of those eight squads has ended up ranked among the country’s top-25 teams, won at least eight games and claimedtwo Patriot League titles. Lehigh concluded the 2005 campaign with an 8-3 overall record and a 4-2 mark against Patriot League opposition on its way to a No. 22 ranking in The Sports Network’s final regular season poll. The Mountain Hawks are one of only two programs in NCAA-IAA (along with Montana) to have won eight or more games in each of the eight years during that span. Also in 2005, eight Mountain Hawks were named to the First Team All-Patriot League. In all, 11 Lehigh players earned all-league recognition – the fourth straight season in which Lehigh placed at least 10 members on the teams. During Lembo’s tenure as its head coach, Lehigh posted an undefeated regular season, its first ever home playoff victory, its first Lambert Cup trophy since 1980 and its first win over an NCAA-IA opponent since 1987 while capturing two Patriot League championships. The Mountain Hawks have consistently hovered in the NCAA-IAA top-25 throughout the last five years, peaking as high as No. 2 in September 2002. No team in all of NCAA-IAA fashioned a better winning percentage during his 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.

HEAD COACH PETE LEMBO


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

HEAD COACH PETE LEMBO 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. Lehigh’s sole league loss was a tough seven-point decision on the road at Colgate, the eventual national runner-up. The 2004 edition of the Mountain Hawks surprised many by posting a nine-win season and a 5-1 conference record en route to a share of a Patriot League title, and an at-large berth in the NCAA playoffs. Though Lehigh lost a heartbreaking 14-13 game to eventual national champion James Madison at Goodman Stadium, the fact that the Mountain Hawks garnered an at-large bid and a home playoff game speaks

to the level of respect the program earned in recent years. The aggressive scheduling policy instituted by Lembo made for increased excitement among NCAA-IAA football fans in the East. Not only did the Mountain Hawks begin to regularly take on an I-A opponent each season, but Lehigh also renewed rivalries with traditional I-AA powerhouses Villanova (in 2004) and Delaware (in 2005), among others. Off the field, Lembo was hard at work to improve the student-athletes’ bond with one another. He established a leadership council that consisted of four team members from each class. The council helped to resolve issues within the team and increased communication between the team and the coaching staff. Lembo also improved alumni relations through a weekly email newsletter. He did quite a bit of traveling to meet with alumni in outlying areas as well as in the Lehigh Valley. During his last three years at Lehigh, Lembo was the featured speaker on the Lehigh Alumni Association’s Midwest Swing, speaking in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago. In the classroom, the Lehigh program prided itself on producing not only great football players, but also true scholars. In 2003, wide receiver Dave Crockett was named to the Division I-AA Athletics Directors Academic All-Star Team, the second-straight year a Lehigh football player earned such a distinguished honor. In 2002, strong safety Matt Salvaterra earned similar recognition while also being lauded as the Patriot League’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year in all sports. In 2001, four student-athletes received honors as Verizon Academic All-District Selections. Lehigh had been ranked in the nation’s top-20 in graduation rates for 18 consecutive years. Not only had Lembo made an impact at Lehigh, but he had become quite active in the football coaching community as well. In May of 2003, Lembo was asked to serve on the American Football Coaches Association’s (AFCA) Public Relations Committee. That group is responsible for finding new ways to showcase the game in a positive light. Lembo just concluded his fifth year as a member of the FCS Executive Committee, serving as president in 2006-07. Lembo came to Lehigh from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, where he served as the team’s offensive coordinator, offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. Prior to his stint with Hampden-Sydney, Lembo coached the tight ends and offensive tackles at Dartmouth College. During this period, Dartmouth enjoyed outstanding success, including the nation’s longest unbeaten streak in Division I-AA and an undefeated Ivy League Championship season in 1996. Several members of that Dartmouth staff have continued outstanding careers at other institutions. Lembo came to Lehigh as the recruiting coordinator and running LEMBO’S YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORD backs coach in 1998. Prior to his third season as an assistant he was named the team’s assistant head coach and offensive line coach.

2008 ALPHABETICAL ROSTER


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

2008 OUTLOOK Third-year Phoenix football coach Pete Lembo will look to eight returning offensive starters and 10 defensive starters to build on last year’s 7-4 season that ended with Elon ranked 23rd nationally in The Sports Network and FCS Coaches polls. In just his second year at Elon, Lembo led the Phoenix to its first winning season in seven years and to within one game of claiming the Southern Conference’s automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The Phoenix finished 2007 ranked second in the country in passing offense and ninth in scoring offense. Lembo — the 2007 SoCon Coach of the Year — guided the Phoenix to back-to-back triumphs over top-25 teams Georgia Southern and Wofford as well as a victory over Big South Conference champion Liberty. Prior to Lembo’s arrival for the 2006 season, the program had gone 1442 during the previous five years. “We have 12 games against Division I opponents, and we are not going to sneak up on any of them,” Lembo says. “We need to mature as a team while balancing confidence with humility. We are only likely to start four or five seniors on offense and defense combined, but several starters on both sides of the ball saw significant action last fall.” Quarterbacks Sophomore All-AmeriNo. Wt. Cl. can Scott Riddle, the SoCon 16 216 So. and National Freshman of 7 198 So. Year last season, returns to 15 190 RFr. lead a talented group of young 17 200 Fr. quarterbacks. Riddle led the 7 200 Fr. FCS in passing yards per game (347.0) and completions per game (31.5) in 2007. He also ranked second nationally in total passing yards (3,817), third in both total offense (339.8 yards per game) and points responsible for (22.2 per game) and 16th in passing efficiency (146.3 rating). Riddle finished his rookie campaign with a 68.1 completion percentage, connecting on 346 of his 508 passes with 13 interceptions and 31 aerial touchdowns. He also ran for nine touchdowns. The three-time SoCon Offensive Player of the Week and three-time SoCon Freshman of the Week also earned National Player of the Week status once and SoCon Athlete of the Month distinction once. Riddle established new Elon and SoCon single-season plateaus for completions, passing attempts, passing yards, touchdown passes, plays of total offense (622), yards of total offense (3,738) and touchdowns responsible for (40). He also ended up with NCAA freshman records for touchdown passes, total offense per game and net yards. The Phoenix signal caller also notched SoCon single-season records for total offense average, games passing for 300 or more yards (nine), consecutive games passing for 300 or more yards (nine), consecutive games passing for a touchdown (11) and consecutive games passing for 200 or more yards (11). Sophomore Donny Kirby, redshirt freshman Chris Shafto and freshmen Thomas Wilson and Shay Newcomer will all compete for snaps. Quarterbacks Name Ht.

Hudgins led the nation with 10.6 receptions and 134.0 receiving yards per contest last fall. The Walter Payton Award finalist earned 2007 First Team All-America distinction on five occasions, receiving such recognition from the Walter Camp Football Foundation, The Associated Press, College Sporting News, The Sports Network and CollegeSportsReport.com. The Sports Media Entertainment Network named Hudgins its 2007 “Star of the Year” at the wide receiver position. Dubbed a 2007 First Team All-Southern Conference player by both the league’s coaches and media, he ended up tied for 11th place in the FCS in scoring with 9.8 points per performance. With 117 catches, Hudgins came away with both a Phoenix and SoCon single-season milestone in 2007. He set new Elon single-season plateaus with 1,474 receiving yards and 18 TD catches for the year and holds a SoCon singleseason record with seven games of receiving for 100 or more yards. Williamson hauled in 40 receptions last season for 15.4 yards per catch and six touchdowns.

Punters/Kickers Booting 48 punts for an average of 42.9 yards apiece, the senior Brandon Lane led SoCon punters and finished eighth nationally among FCS punters a year ago on his way to earning First Team All-SoCon accolades by both the league’s coaches and media. Senior placekicker Andrew Wilcox converted all 50 of his PAT attempts last season to go with the 14 field goals he made. Wilcox was elected a First Team All-SoCon selection by the league’s media and a Second Team All-SoCon choice by the conference coaches two seasons ago.

Redshirt freshmen Eric Carstens and Andy Leffler and freshmen John Reece and Adam Shreiner add plenty of depth to the kicking game. Lane and Reece will also handle the holder duties while junior Bruce Rosell, sophomores Patrick Campbell and Taylor Kane, redshirt freshman Jody Hackett and freshmen Patrick DeJesus and Brad Lind will take care of the long-snapping responsibilities. Schedule This fall, Elon will enter its sixth schedule as a member of the Southern Conference and 10th as a member of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision. The 12-game slate consists entirely of FCS foes and features nine opponents who fashioned a winning record last season, including four conference champions and three teams that won an FCS playoff game last year. “The 2008 schedule marks another first for our football program as we take on an all-Division I slate of 12 games,” Lembo says. “In addition to the grueling stretch of SoCon games beginning in late September, we’ve got one of the year’s premier FCS out-of-conference match-ups against Richmond at Rhodes Stadium on August 30th. Taking on the nationally-ranked Spiders in the home opener is an exciting opportunity for our entire university.” Richmond, which finished the 2007 campaign ranked No. 4 in the FCS Coaches’ poll and No. 5 in The Sports Network’s poll, is just one of four teams on the 2008 Phoenix schedule that finished the 2007 season ranked among the country’s top 20 FCS teams – including three-time defending national champion Appalachian State.

2007 HIGHLIGHTS


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

2007 GAME RECAPS ELON – 13 SOUTH FLORIDA – 28 SEPT. 1, 2007 TAMPA, FLA.

W.VA. WESLEYAN – 16 ELON – 59 SEPT. 8, 2007 ELON, N.C.

LIBERTY – 14 ELON – 42 SEPT. 22, 2007 ELON, N.C.

Matt Grothe passed for 238 yards and two touchdowns and Mike Ford scored three times as South Florida defeated Elon 28-13 in the football season opener for both teams Saturday night at Raymond James Stadium. The Phoenix’s first-ever NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision opponent, the Bulls forced a pair of Elon turnovers inside the red zone during the first half. The Phoenix still had a chance to claim an early 3-0 edge, but Andrew Wilcox’s 45-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right with 3:23 left to play in the first quarter.

Scott Riddle passed for a career-high 362 yards and three touchdowns and Elon exploded for 42 second-half points, propelling the Phoenix to a 59-16 victory over West Virginia Wesleyan Saturday evening at Rhodes Stadium. Elon’s 59-point outburst marked the program’s most since the Phoenix posted a 59-0 triumph at Morehead State on Oct. 3, 1998. Elon last broke the 60-point plateau with a 63-13 home win over Lenoir-Rhyne on August 30, 1997.

Terrell Hudgins hauled in a program-record 16 receptions for a career-best 219 yards and careerhigh four touchdowns while Scott Riddle passed for a career-best 368 yards and career-high four touchdowns to go with his first two college rushing scores, powering Elon to a 42-14 NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision triumph over Liberty Saturday afternoon at Rhodes Stadium.

Trey Elder passed for 161 yards and rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns while Kevin Richardson ran for 158 yards and a touchdown as No. 5 Appalachian State overcame No. 24 Elon 49-32 in front of a Rhodes Stadium record crowd of 13,100 fans Saturday afternoon in an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision contest. Elon’s Michael Mayers set a pair of Southern Conference records by compiling 225 kick return yards and 387 all-purpose yards. Western Carolina’s Kerry Hayes tallied 222 kick return yards against VMI in 1992 and Appalachian’s DaVon Fowlkes piled up 343 all-purpose yards against Northwestern State in 2004, establishing the previous plateaus.

Scott Riddle threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns while the Phoenix defense held the Catamount offense scoreless on its last four drives, lifting Elon to a thrilling 38-36 Southern Conference road victory over Western Carolina Saturday night at Whitmire Stadium. In the process, the Phoenix emerged victorious from Whitmire Stadium for the first time ever in eight visits. The win also marked Elon’s first triumph in Cullowhee in nine trips overall, dating back to a 35-30 Phoenix victory in 1968. The contest also gave Elon its third SoCon road win in its five years in the league, following victories at Chattanooga in 2004 and 2006.

Andrew Wilcox connected on a career-long 49-yard field goal to lift Elon to a 36-33 double overtime triumph over No. 21 Georgia Southern in Southern Conference football action Saturday afternoon at Rhodes Stadium. It was also the first-ever Phoenix win over the Eagles in eight meetings. The Eagles had outscored Elon by an average of 36.0-14.6 in the process of fashioning that perfect 7-0 series lead entering this year’s meeting. Georgia Southern leads the NCAA-I FCS all-time with six national championships and 38 playoff victories.

2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

2007 GAME RECAPS #24 ELON – 24 #7 WOFFORD – 13 OCT. 20, 2007 SPARTANBURG, S.C.

CHATTANOOGA – 28 #16 ELON – 38 OCT. 27, 2007 ELON, N.C.

#14 ELON – 49 FURMAN – 52 NOV. 3, 2007 GREENVILLE, S.C.

Scott Riddle passed for 343 yards and three touchdowns while the Elon defense held the Wofford offense scoreless in the second half, propelling No. 24 Elon to a 24-13 Southern Conference football victory over No. 6 Wofford Saturday afternoon at Gibbs Stadium. Prior to the victory, the Phoenix had never beaten an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision top-10 team in 20 attempts. Including last week’s 36-33 double-overtime triumph over thenNo. 21 Georgia Southern, Elon has now defeated back-to-back FCS top-25 opponents for the first time ever.

Scott Riddle passed for 359 yards and three touchdowns while setting four new program records, pacing No. 16 Elon to a 38-28 Southern Conference football triumph over Chattanooga on Homecoming Saturday afternoon at Rhodes Stadium. The Phoenix retained a first-place tie for the league lead with Wofford and clinched its first winning record in seven seasons. Elon has fashioned its first four-game winning streak since claiming four consecutive contests during its 7-4 campaign in 2000. The Phoenix last started out at 6-2 in 1999 en route to a 9-2 finish.

Scott Riddle threw for a Southern Conference record of 534 yards and Terrell Hudgins established new Elon single-season milestones for receptions and receiving yards, but the No. 14 Phoenix fell to Furman 52-49 during Homecoming and Senior Day festivities in front of 11,476 fans on Saturday afternoon at Paladin Stadium. Jerome Felton, a senior, ran for a career-high 154 yards and four touchdowns as the Paladins kept their bid alive for a ninth consecutive winning season. The Phoenix retained a first-place tie with Wofford and Georgia Southern in the league standings, onehalf game ahead of Appalachian State.

STONY BROOK – 23 #24 ELON – 38 NOV. 17, 2007 ELON, N.C.

Bart Blanchard passed for 370 yards and three touchdowns and Tory Cooper rushed for another three touchdowns as The Citadel staved off No. 19 Elon 42-31 in the Southern Conference season finale for both teams Saturday afternoon at Johnson Hagood Stadium. The Phoenix dropped from a month-long firstplace tie to a third-place tie with No. 11 Georgia Southern and The Citadel in the conference standings, behind No. 15 Wofford and No. 7 Appalachian State. 1 2 3 4 Tot.

T.J. Clegg rushed for a careerhigh 81 yards and a touchdown and Michael Mayers hauled in nine catches for a game-high 145 yards, lifting No. 24 Elon to a 38-23 Senior Day triumph over Stony Brook in the season finale for both teams Saturday afternoon at Rhodes Stadium. The Southern Conference record holder with 223 career catches, Mayers (2004-07) fell one reception shy of the Elon record of 224 by Richard McGeorge (1966-69). Mayers’ 49 yards on three kickoff returns boosted his season total to 863 kickoff return yards, propelling him past George Dixon’s 822 in 1987 for a new Elon milestone. 1 7 21

ELON AND PRO FOOTBALL


2008 ELON PHOENIX FOOTBALL

ELON’S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Elon football has a rich tradition that reached a fever-pitch in the early 1980’s when Elon captured back-toback 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. 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.
