The Indiana State Head Coach Indiana State is led by head coach Trent Miles, a 1987 ISU graduate and Terre Haute native. Miles made his head coaching debut last season against Eastern Michigan and carries a record of 0-13 into the road opener at Louisville. Miles previously spent three seasons (2005-07) as the running backs coach at Washington and three years at Notre Dame (2002-04) as the wide receivers coach. Miles has never faced the Cardinals as a head coach, but was a senior member of the 1984 Sycamore squad that downed Louisville by a score of 44-21. This is Miles first meeting against a team from the BIG EAST. The Louisville Head Coach Louisville is coached by third-year skipper Steve Kragthorpe, who is 11-13 at Louisville. Kragthrope is 40-35 in eight seasons as a head coach. Kragthorpe coached former Missouri Valley Conference member Tulsa from 2003-2006. He is 1-3 all-time against members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, but Saturday night’s game is his first against Indiana State. Louisville Scouting Report Louisville is a member of the NCAA FBS Subdivision and competes in the BIG EAST Conference. Saturday’s game against ISU is the season opener for Louisville. The Cardinals return 15 starters and 48 letterwinners from last season’s 5-7 team, including eight starters on offense. Louisville is 48-55-3 all-time in season openers, including a 1-1 mark under Kragthorpe’s guidance. A Little History This marks the 105th season of football at Indiana State, dating back to 1896. The University did not field teams from 1899 to 1900, 1908 or from 1910 to 1919. ISU owns an all-time record of 338-456-22 and is competing for the 25th consecutive season as a member of the MVFC. What’s Transpired Indiana State opened the season with a 26-20 overtime loss against Quincy at Memorial Stadium. The game drew regional attention, as 7,216 fans were in attendance. The Sycamores bounced out to a quick 17-0 lead in the first quarter against the Hawks – ISU’s largest lead over an opponent since 2004 -- but Quincy came back to knot the score at 20 with 43 seconds left in regulation. Darrius Gates paced the Sycamores with 102 yards on the ground and also threw a 75-yard touchdown pass as the offense showed spark early in the game. For Road Openers Indiana State opened the season last week against Quincy, but will play its first road game of the season against Louisville. The Sycamores are 27-50-7 in their first road game of the season, but are looking to earn an opening road win for the first time since 1984 -- a 44-21 win at Louisville. Indiana State has opened the road portion of the season twice before in the series with the Cardinals: a 0-0 tie in 1940 and a 44-21 ISU victory in 1984. We Are Mostly ... Young Of the 85 players on the current Indiana State roster, a total of 65 student-athletes are underclassmen -- or just over 76 percent. There are 38 true or redshirt freshmen on the roster currently. A total of 16 student-athletes saw their first action in a Sycamore uniform versus Quincy, including 11 true or redshirt freshmen. Flood Gates Open Junior tailback Darrius Gates opened the season against Quincy by rushing for a team-best 102 yards on 11 carries. He closed out the 2008 campaign against Missouri State by rushing for 237 yards on 29 attempts en route to being named the MVFC Offensive Player of the Week. His performance in the season finale of 2008 against the Bears coupled with the effort last week versus the Hawks, makes Gates the first Sycamore to record back-to-back 100-yard single-game rushing performances since Jake Shields accomplished the feat in the first two games of 2003 (127 at Ball State; 213 vs. Florida International). With another 100-yard rushing performance this week against Louisville, Gates would be the first Sycamore since David Wright in 1993 to post at least three consecutive games going over the century mark on the ground. The school record for consecutive 100-yard rushing games is 10 – held by Derrick Franklin from 1991 until 1992. To add to his success on the ground, Gates also completed a 75-yard TD pass to Bryant Kent in the first quarter against Quincy, which was the second pass completion of his career (both have gone for touchdowns).
An Indiana State Win Over Louisville Would...
• Snap the Sycamores’ 27-game losing streak, dating back to a 28-22 Homecoming victory over Missouri Valley Football Conference rival Missouri State in 2006. • Give Trent Miles his first collegiate head coaching victory. • Give Indiana State a win in its first road game of the season since 1984 when ISU downed Louisville by a score of 44-21. • Give Indiana State its first win over a NCAA FBS opponent for the first time since a 40-16 win over Cincinnati in 1987. • Would snap a 32-game losing streak against NCAA FBS opposition. Dog Days Of August Indiana State’s season opener on Aug. 27 against Quincy was not only the earliest in all of NCAA Division I football this season, it was also the earliest in the history of the program. The Sycamores are 2-8 in their 10 previous games during the month of August. In fact, the Sycamores won their first two August contests (in 1995 and 1996 against Mars Hill), but have lost their last eight played during the month, including last week’s 26-20 overtime loss against Quincy. ISU is 2-3 at home in the month of August, with the Quincy game being the first in that month at Memorial Stadium since Aug. 31, 2000 in a 42-24 defeat at the hands of Eastern Illinois. Working Overtime The Sycamores have played overtime in each of the past two contests, dating back to last season. The Sycamores concluded the 2008 campaign with a 27-24 overtime loss to Missouri State and began the 2009 season in much the same way with a 26-20 overtime defeat at the hands of Quincy. Those two games are the first time in the history of the program that the Sycamores have played in back-to-back overtime contests since the rule was enacted in 1983at the NCAA FCS level. Preseason Selections Senior defensive back Donye McCleskey and sophomore defensive back Alex Sewall were Indiana State’s selections on the 2009 Preseason All-MVFC Team chosen by the league’s head coaches, media members and SID panel. McCleskey was named All-MVFC Honorable Mention last season and was a co-MVP for the Sycamores. He posted 98 total tackles last season, including 53 total stops. In the conference opener against Illinois State, McCleskey was credited with a career-high 17 total tackles. Known as a big-play defensive threat, he recovered a fumble and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown at Youngstown State. McCleskey had four games in which he recorded at least 10 tackles, including 13 against South Dakota State, 11 in the season finale versus Missouri State, 10 at Western Illinois and the season-best 17 versus the Redbirds. Sewall was named to the All-MVFC Honorable Mention team last season and was also a member of the MVFC All-Newcomer squad. He was ISU’s top newcomer on defense with 90 total tackles, including 52 solo stops. Sewall posted a season-best nine tackles in five different contests: at Eastern Illinois, at Northern Illinois, South Dakota State, at North Dakota State and in the season finale versus Missouri State. Sycamores Place Two On MVFC All-Select NFL Team Tunch Ilkin and Vencie Glenn were named to the MVFC’s All-Select NFL Team, as announced by the league office. Ilkin was an offensive lineman for Indiana State who graduated in 1979. He played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers from 1980 until 1993. He played 176 career games for the Steelers over his 14-year NFL career. Ilkin has continued as a radio color commentator for the Steelers since his playing career ended. Glenn graduated in 1985 and played for the New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants from 1986-95. He played in 153 career games with 35 interceptions. Up Next Indiana State returns home to face Eastern Illinois on Saturday, Sept. 12 at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for Noon (ET).

Trent Miles Head Coach
0-13 (2nd Year) Indiana State, 1987 Head coach Trent Miles enters his second year at the helm of the Indiana State football program in 2009. Miles was named the Sycamores’ 23rd head football coach on Dec. 4, 2007. In his inaugural season on the job, Miles had three players earn All-Missouri Valley Conference honors as Jayden Everett, Donye McCleskey and Alex Sewall all took Honorable Mention plaudits. Additionally, Sewall, Larry Carter and Ryan Roberts took MVFC All-Newcomer status. Everett recorded 102 total tackles on the season, which ranked in the nation’s top 20 and was in the top five in the MVFC. He also had a key forced fumble and recovery in the season finale against Missouri State that allowed Indiana State to comeback from down 14-0 to force overtime. Everett posted six games in which he recorded double digit tackles, including a season-high 18 stops on Homecoming versus South Dakota State.

EDUCATION
Sewall was Indiana State’s top newcomer on defense with 90 total tackles, including 52 solo stops as he played in all 12 of the Sycamores’ contests this season. He notched a season-best nine tackles in five different contests: at Eastern Illinois, at Northern Illinois, South Dakota State, at North Dakota State and in the season finale versus Missouri State.
Carter played in 10 games in 2009 and recorded 34 total tackles, including one for a loss and was credited with one half of a sack. He broke up four passes this season and recovered one fumble at Southern Illinois. In the conference opener against Illinois State, Carter posted a team-high eight tackles. Roberts played in all 12 games this year, including the final six as the Sycamore quarterback after playing the first six games on the defensive side of the ball. He completed 39-of-84 passes for 294 yards, including a long of 20 yards. Roberts was strong on the ground with 107 rushes for 194 yards, plus three rushing touchdowns.

Miles is a native of Terre Haute, Ind., and a 1987 graduate of Indiana State. Miles was a wide receiver at Indiana State from 1982-86, where his 1983 and 1984 squads each won nine games and advanced to the NCAA FCS playoffs. The 1984 Sycamores were ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the season. That team was inducted into the Indiana State University Hall of Fame on Sept. 7, 2002. Prior to coming to Indiana State, Miles completed his third season as the Washington running backs coach in 2007 after having spent the previous three years on Tyrone Willingham’s staff at Notre Dame as the wide receivers coach. In 2007, Husky running back Louis Rankin rushed for 1,294 yards, becoming the first Washington player to tally a 1,000-yard rushing season since 1997.
While at Notre Dame, he mentored future NFL standouts Maurice Stovall, Rhema McKnight and Arnaz Battle, as well as Jeff Samardzija, who is now playing professional baseball in the Chicago Cubs organization. Prior to coaching at Notre Dame, Miles worked under Willingham for one year at Stanford. That season Miles had the opportunity to coach some of the nation’s finest receivers including Luke Powell (whose 22.3-yard average per catch set a school record) and Teyo Johnson (the 2001 Pacific-10 Co-Freshman of the Year and a second-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders in 2003). Miles spent the 2000 campaign with the Green Bay Packers as an offensive assistant, working with the wide receivers and as a quality control coach. During his tenure with the Packers, he coached NFL all-pro receiver Antonio Freeman. Miles has 20 years of coaching experience on the collegiate level. He was the wide receivers coach at Fresno State for three years (1997-99), producing some of the greatest receivers in Bulldogs’ history. In 1999, two of his receivers, Rodney Wright and Charles Smith, combined to produce more than 1,600 yards and 14 touchdowns on 120 receptions. Their production helped the Bulldogs to a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship and a berth in the Las Vegas Bowl. He also recruited and coached Bernard Barien of the Minnesota Vikings. Throughout his career, Miles has coached on both sides of the ball including wide receivers, defensive backs and linebackers. Miles began his coaching career at Indiana State in 1987, tutoring the wide receivers and defensive backs as a graduate assistant. Another graduate assistant position followed at New Mexico (1988-89), where he worked with the receivers and linebackers. Miles then moved on to Oklahoma in 1990, working with the wide receivers as a graduate assistant. Following four seasons as an assistant at Northern Illinois (1991-93 as receivers coach, 1994 with defensive backs), Miles headed west to Hawaii for two seasons (1995-96), where he spent a season each with the wide receivers and defensive backs. Miles earned a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Indiana State in 1987. He was born July 29, 1963, in Terre Haute, Ind. Miles married the former Bridget Hogan on July 10, 2004. They have three daughters, Kaylee, Anna, and Charlie Elizabeth.

The Quincy Game Recap TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State fell to Quincy by the score of 26-20 in overtime on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams in front of 7,216 fans at Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores opened the game with a barrage, taking a 17-0 lead out of the gate. ISU sophomore kicker Braulio Martinez hit a 40-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead with 7:44 left in the first quarter. Martinez’s kick capped a 10-play, 52-yard drive that took 4:59 off the clock. The lead grew on a five-yard pass to sophomore Ryan Roberts from Stutzriem for a 10-0 advantage with 5:50 left in the opening stanza. The four-play, nine-yard scoring drive was set up by a Sam Donatucci fumble which was forced by Nate Brown and recovered by Aaron Archie. Indiana State’s lead ballooned to 17-0 on the biggest play of the game when tailback Darrius Gates hit Bryant Kent on a 75-yard scoring strike with 1:01 left in the first period, a play which was a perfectly executed tailback pass. The Sycamores’ 17-0 advantage was its largest since a 28-7 lead over Illinois State on October 2, 2004. Quincy cut the Sycamore lead down to 17-3 with a 22-yard field goal by Alex Beard with 11:12 to go in the second quarter. The lead went down to 17-6 on a 30-yard field goal by Beard with 10:12 to go in the third quarter, the
Game One
period’s only score. That set up a wild fourth quarter in which Tyler Truttmann caught a 12-yard pass from Donatucci and then Donatucci found Chris Jenkins in the end zone for the two-point conversion to make it 17-14 with 14:09 to go.

The Sycamores answered back with a 27-yard Martinez field goal to make it 20-14 with 8:35 to go in regulation. Martinez connected on a pair of field goals against Quincy -- the first time in his career he has made more than field goal in a single game. Donatucci knotted the score with 43 seconds left at 20 with a one-yard plunge into the end zone. Beard’s kick failed after Quincy was flagged for a false start and had to make its attempt from the eight-yard line instead of the three. Quincy won the toss to begin overtime and elected to play defense. The Hawks held as the Sycamores lost the ball on a botched shotgun snap back to Stutzriem. Quincy marched down to the one-yard line and the Sycamore defense held on first and goal, but on second and goal, Donatucci plunged in from a yard out to earn the 26-20 overtime victory. Gates paced Indiana State with 102 yards on the ground while Stutzriem was 9-of-18 for 60 yards with an interception. Gates was the team’s leading passer with 75 yards in the air on the trick play in the first quarter. Ryan Roberts caught a team-high three passes for 18 yards while Kent paced the team with his 75-yard scoring catch from Gates. Defensively, Donye McCleskey and Aaron Archie each had 10 tackles on the night while Archie added a tackle for loss, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. Nate Brown paced ISU with three tackles for loss and forced a fumble. Lawrence Young recorded the team’s only sack while ISU combined for nine tackles for losses in the game.
