SIDELINE CONTROL—Jacksonville State University follows guidelines set forth by the NCAA in sideline control. The NCAA has established a sideline control policy to keep those areas free from congestion. Only those photographers on assignment will be given sideline passes. The sideline control policy is as follows: (1) Only those photographers on assignment, including student and freelance photojournalists, are given credentials. In addition, each student publication will be issued one press and/or sideline photo pass. (2) Photographers must display their sideline photo passes at all times. If not, they may be asked to leave the stadium. (3) University personnel will be deployed on the sideline to ensure no abuses of these privileges. (4) Photographers are urged to shoot from the end zone to the 30-yard line on either side of the field and from either end zone. (5) Photographers and media should not linger in the bench area (between the 30-yard lines) at any time during the game. (6) Absolutely no player or coach interviews will be conducted during the game.

COACHES

GAMECOCKS

The football playing facility has been called Paul Snow Stadium since the 1961 season, but will now also honor former coach Bill Burgess, who led the Gamecocks to the 1992 NCAA Division II National Championship.

OUTLOOK

The Jacksonville State University Board of Trustees approved to name its football field Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium in the summer of 2010 and the Gamecocks will play their 66th season in the facility this year.

18

In 1946 as JSU began to change, enrollment begin to rise and so did the popularity of football. Seeing the need for a new facility, the school built a stadium in the present location and it was dedicated in front of an overflow crowd at the 1947 Homecoming game against Pembroke. The Gamecocks went on to win that game and posted a perfect 9-0 season, including a 7-0 win over Florida State.

coaches booths, radio and television broadcast facilities, and a game management booth. The stadium was also expanded and now includes 24,000 seats. The natural playing surface was replaced during the summer of 2005 to an artificial playing turf. It was the first major renovation to the stadium since the 1978 season. It took three months to install at a cost of just over $700,000 and was completed in time to hold summer graduation on the new playing field. Improvements in 2007 included two new scoreboards and the addition of “Gamecock Vision” a new video replay scoreboard. It is located in the east endzone and features a 14’ x 24’ ProStar VideoPlus Display that is one of the largest in the OVC. The video replay system utilizes the V-Link 4000 Video Processor and the Venus 7000 Controler. The scoreboard now spans 8’ by 48’ with LED Team Name Message Centers. On the Gamecock Field House, a new scoreboard was installed as Burgess-Snow Field is the only on-campus facility in the OVC to feature two scoreboards.

The “College Bowl” as it was called, was renamed in 1961 to honor longtime JSU supporter Paul Snow. Then in July of 2010, the stadium was renamed Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium.

Jacksonville State’s first win in renovated Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium came the hard way, in 2010, but it is one Gamecock fans remember well.

The stadium got a facelift in 1965 when seating was expanded from 5,000 to 8,500 and a new press box was installed on the north side of the facility. Under the supervision of long-time Athletic Director Jerry N. Cole, the field house was constructed in 1977 and the expansion of the stadium was complete in time for the 1978 season when the student section was added to bring the capacity to 15,000.

After a lightning delay that pushed kickoff back 86 minutes, the 22,186 in attendance saw the fifth-ranked Jacksonville State football team score 21 unanswered points to pull of its second fourth-quarter come-from-behind win, a 21-17 thriller over Chattanooga.

Since opening in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 239-94-8 record at home. Under Crowe, the Gamecocks are 39-17 all-time at home.

One week after the second-largest crowd to ever watch JSU play saw the Gamecocks rally for a double-overtime win over Ole Miss, the largest home crowd in Gamecock history saw junior Marques Ivory find junior James Shaw for a 72-yard touchdown strike with 1:16 remaining and hand the Mocs (0-2) their second heartbreaking loss in as many weeks.

JSU Stadium just completed a $47 million expansion just in time for the 2010 season. The new facility consists of seven stories, with the bottom four floors dedicated to nearly 400 dorm beds. The top three floors will include 33 luxury skyboxes, a new press area,

The record for a single-game crowd for a football game at BurgessSnow Field at JSU Stadium was set in stadium dedication game of 2010 versus Chattanooga when 22,186 fans witnessed the Gamecocks claim a 21-17 win over the Mocs.

HE AD COACH

John Grass John Grass begins his first season as head coach of the Gamecocks after helping Jax State to it’s most successful season in the school’s Division I history in 2013. Grass served as the Gamecocks’ assistant head coach and offensive coordinator in 2013 and orchestrated an offense that set numerous school, OVC and National records. A 1990 graduate of JSU, Grass served as a head coach at the high school level for over 17 years and compiled a 122-61 career record along the way.

His first season at JSU exceeded all expectations. His offensive unit was the most prolific in JSU history, breaking school records en route to helping the Gamecocks post an 11-4 record and advance to the Quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs. JSU rolled over No. 16 Samford, 55-14, in the first round before a convincing 31-10 win at No. 6 McNeese State in the second round. After a loss at No. 3 Eastern Washington in the Quarterfinals, the Gamecocks were ranked No. 10 in The Sports Network FCS Top 25, the highest in the program’s Division I history, while a No. 12 ranking in the FCS Coaches Poll tied the previous high set in 2010. The Gamecocks finished the year with an 11-4 record, the most wins in the program’s Division I history and tying the 1977 team for the fourth-most wins in a season in school history. Grass’ offense was record breaking in every phase and highlighted a season that saw the Gamecocks set a total of 49 school records, 13 Ohio Valley Conference records and three NCAA records. A quick-strike attack that scored 24 times on drives of less than one minute, the Gamecock offense amassed 6,637 yards of total offense, 1,755 yards more than any team in school history, and racked up 528 points, 107 more than the previous record set in 1991. JSU’s 65 touchdowns were a new school record, while its school record 48 rushing touchdowns also broke the OVC mark. Leading the rushing attack was junior All-American DaMarcus James. Also a first team All-OVC selection, James ran for a school record 1,477 yards and was second nationally with 29 rushing touchdowns to break the JSU and OVC records in that category. James’ 174 points scored also broke the previous JSU and OVC records. James also set a JSU and OVC record with five rushing touchdowns at Austin Peay and joined teammates Eli Jenkins, Troymaine Pope and Miles Jones to become the first foursome to each run for 100 yards in the same game in FCS history against Jacksonville on Sept. 7.

David Blackwell

Prior to his stay at South Florida, Blackwell was an assistant at Clemson for six years where he was in charge of the linebackers, helping to lead a resurgence in the Tigers’ defense. Clemson was bowl eligible in all six of Blackwell’s seasons on staff with appearances in the 2008 Gator Bowl, 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl, 2006 Music City Bowl, 2005 Champs Sports Bowl and the 2004 Peach Bowl as the Tigers were ranked in the top 25 of both polls in

The Greenville, SC, native has significant experience at the Division I level as both a defensive coach and recruiter. He was the linebackers coach at Pittsburgh from 2000-02 and helped the Panthers to three straight bowl games during that period (2000 Insight.com, 2001 Tangerine and 2002 Insight.com). Prior to his stop at Pittsburgh, Blackwell served as assistant coach at Illinois State from 1996-99. He played a major role in one of the top turnarounds in Division I-AA during that period. In his final year with the Redbirds,

OVC

In 2009, Blackwell directed a South Florida defense that ranked 24th in the country in total defense and tied for 19th in scoring defense. That Bulls squad finished the season at 8-5 and defeated Northern Illinois in the 2010 International Bowl.

The play of Blackwell’s linebackers had a lot to do with Clemson’s strong finish in 2005. Clemson was in the top 25 in seven categories, including scoring defense (#11), tackles for loss (#13), turnover margin (#16), pass efficiency defense (#18), total defense (#20), rushing defense (#25) and sacks (#25).

HISTORY

Before Fordham, Blackwell most recently served as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of South Florida in 2009 and also had stints at Clemson (2003-08), Pittsburgh (2000-02), Illinois State (1998-99) and his alma mater, East Carolina (1992-95).

RECORDS

In his first year at Fordham, three of Blackwell’s players earned All-Patriot League honors with linebacker Mike Martin earning first team accolades and defensive lineman Nick Womack and defensive back Ian Williams being named to the second team.

In 2006, Clemson was 13th in the nation in total defense, 16th in scoring defense, 17th in pass efficiency defense, 18th in rushing defense and 24th in pass defense. It was quite an accomplishment for the defense considering it lost preseason All-American linebacker Anthony Waters in the first game of the year due to a torn ACL.

REVIEW

In the Patriot League, Blackwell’s unit was tops in defensive passing efficiency and ranked second in scoring defense and third in total defense. Seven Rams were named All-League, led by linebacker Stephen Hodge who was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year as well as first team all-conference.

In 2007, Blackwell’s linebackers contributed to a top-10 national finish in total defense and scoring defense. Nick Watkins, one of Blackwell’s inside linebackers, led the team in tackles in 2007 and was in the top 10 in the ACC.

OPPONENTS

In 2013 under Blackwell, the Fordham defense was one of the top takeaway defenses in the country, leading the NCAA FCS with 40 turnovers gained, and was 21st in defensive passing efficiency.

A 1997 graduate of East Carolina with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, Blackwell was an offensive lineman as a freshman for the Pirates in 1990 before

ABOUT JSU

Blackwell served the previous two years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Fordham, while also having experience at South Florida, Clemson, Pittsburgh, Illinois State and East Carolina.

Clemson finished in the top 25 in the four major defensive categories each of his last four years, the first time in history Clemson had been in all four stat categories four straight years. Clemson also had a top-20 finish in scoring defense in 2003, meaning the Tigers were in the top 25 in the most important defensive category four of the five years Blackwell was on the staff.

COACHES

David Blackwell brings more than 20 years of coaching experience to Jacksonville State and will serve as the Gamecocks’ defensive coordinator under first-year head coach John Grass.

Blackwell got his start in coaching at his alma mater (East Carolina) as rush linebackers coach from 1992 until 1995. The Pirates earned trips to the Liberty Bowl in two of those seasons.

GAMECOCKS

During Blackwell’s stay at Clemson, the program earned ten wins over top-25 teams, and the Clemson defense had a lot to do with that success. In 2008, the Clemson Tigers finished tenth in pass efficiency defense in the NCAA, 12th in pass defense, 13th in scoring defense and 18th in total defense.

Illinois State compiled a school-best 11-3 record and advanced to the semifinals of the Division I-AA playoffs before losing to eventual National Champion Georgia Southern.

We have enjoyed post-season competition in many of our sports, which brings national exposure and prestige to our University. “Our student-athletes excel, not only on the fields of competition, but also in the classroom,” added Meehan. “I’m proud to say that we have more than 130 of our student-athletes with a 3.0 grade point average or higher again last year and overall, the athletic department had a cumulative grade point overage above a 3.0.” Dr. Meehan began a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Board of Directors in August of 2009. The NCAA Board of Directors is the primary decision-making body in Division I, with the ultimate responsibility for the policy and direction of the division and for adopting any changes to the operating bylaws and rules of Division I. The NCAA Board of Directors is comprised of 18 Division I CEO’s, with each member serving a four-year term. Other duties of the board include establishing the budget, general policies and strategic plan for the NCAA. Dr. Meehan began a two-year term on the NCAA Executive Committee in May of 2011 and was just one of four non-FBS President’s selected for this prestigious honor. While serving on the NCAA Executive Committee, Dr. Meehan played a part in the final approval and oversight of the NCAA’s budget; provided strategic planning for the NCAA as a whole; and acted on behalf of the NCAA by adopting and implementing policies to resolve core issues and other NCAA matters.

arren D. “Moose” Koegel begins his fourth season as Athletics Director at Jacksonville State University after being named as the school’s sixth full-time Athletics Director on June 1, 2011.

Jacksonville State has enjoyed much success during Koegel’s first three years as Athletic Director, winning 11 Ohio Valley Conference Championships and finishing in the top 6 in the OVC Commissioner’s Cup, marking the sixth straight year the Gamecocks have finished in the Top 6 in the standings.

Additionally, numerous facility upgrades have taken place under his tenure, highlighted by a new $1.5 million softball upgrade with the addition of new grandstands, pressbox, sunken dugouts and a new home dressing room, which opened for the 2014 season. Over his three years, Jax State has claimed OVC Championships in football (2011), softball (2013, 2014), baseball (2014), men’s golf (2012, 2014), women’s golf (2012), men’s tennis (2014) and rifle (2012, 2013, 2014). Koegel also served on the NCAA Football Subdivision Committee that helped expand the FCS playoffs for the 2014 season. Last Year, Jacksonville State had five OVC Player or Most Valuable Player of the Year Awards, nine NCAA All-Americans, 61 OVC All-Conference honorees, two teams claimed OVC Team Academic Achievement honors, and four OVC Coach of the Year Award winners.

In 2012-13, JSU had five OVC Player or Most Valuable Player of the Year Awards, seven NCAA All-Americans, 58 OVC AllConference honorees, two teams claimed OVC Team Academic Achievement honors, and one OVC Coach of the Year.

Gamecock student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom after 10 teams posted a combined grade point average of 3.0 or higher and the department finished above a 3.0 grade point average for all three years under Koegel. Several teams have claimed the OVC Team Academic Achievement Award for their sports, and more than 375 studentathletes have been named to the OVC Commissioner Honor Roll over the last two years. Additionally, almost 60 studentathletes have been named to the OVC Medal of Honor Roll with a perfect 4.0 grade point average, while close to 450 student-athletes posted a 3.0 grade point average or higher during the last two academic years.

Prior to joining Jax State in 2011, Koegel spent 10 very successful years as Director of Athletics at Coastal Carolina University. During his tenure at Coastal Carolina, the Chanticleers made 56 NCAA Championship appearances, won 48 Big South Conference Championships and won five Sasser Cups, which is awarded to the top athletic program in the Big South Conference.

Koegel was named the 2008 NACDA Southeast Region Division I FCS Athletic Director of the Year. He also has experience on the NCAA level, having served on the Football Championship Subdivision Committee, Football Issues Committee, and the Football Academic Working Group. While at Coastal, Koegel was responsible for the addition of football to the Chanticleers’ athletic department in 2003. The team won its first of four Big South Championships in 2004 and advanced to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs twice during his tenure.

Koegel oversaw the completion of a 10,000-seat state-of-the-art stadium in 2003, a new athletic facility that houses the football program and includes an expanded weight room, training room, team meeting rooms, locker rooms for football, offices for all football coaches and staff and several conference rooms.

He also added new dugouts and seats for baseball and softball, upgraded and built new locker rooms, a new open-air roofed hitting facility for baseball and softball, was involved in the planning and design of a new convocation center currently under construction, and made numerous other facility improvements to baseball, softball, track, golf, tennis and soccer.

Koegel went to Coastal Carolina from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he had served as an associate athletic director from 1998-2000 under former JSU Athletics Director Oval Jaynes. At Chattanooga, Koegel helped managed a multi-million budget for 16 NCAA Division I sports. His other administrative responsibilities included business operations, athletic scholarships, marketing and serving as the liaison to the coaching staff. He also served on the steering committee for the NCAA I-AA National Championship Football Game.

Prior to his stint at Chattanooga, he had served on the football coaching staffs at the University of Connecticut, Rutgers University and the University of Wyoming. During his tenure on the football coaching staff at the University of Connecticut from 1992 to 1997, he was recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach as well as interim head coach in 1993. Koegel was an assistant football coach at Rutgers University from 1984 to 1990 and Wyoming University from 1977 to 1983. Koegel played in the National Football League from 1971 to 1975, spending time with the Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Jets. He starred at Penn State University under legendary football coach Joe Paterno, where he earned All-American honors. He was co-captain of the Nittany Lions his senior season and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1971. During his college career, he was a Third Team All-American as a senior and played on two Orange Bowl championship teams. He also played in the Hula Bowl, EastWest Shrine Game and the College AllStar Game. Koegel received Penn State’s Dedicated Player and Outstanding Senior Awards. Koegel and his wife Elaine have one daughter, Kathryn.

Jacksonville State – 24 Alabama State - 22 August 31, 2013 • Montgomery, Alabama MONTGOMERY – The third quarter proved to be a big one for the Jacksonville State football team in head coach Bill Clark’s debut on Saturday, when the Gamecocks scored all 24 points and then held on for a 24-22 win over Alabama State. After gaining just 151 yards in a scoreless first half that saw the Hornets (0-1) take a 6-0 lead into the locker room, the Gamecocks (1-0) gained 183 in the third quarter, outscoring ASU 24-3 in the process. The Hornets mounted a little rally in the fourth quarter, scoring twice in a four-minute stretch. The Gamecock defense held on a two-point try with 7:33 to play and then ended any hope for the Hornets when Brenton Tolson picked off Daniel Duhon with 48 seconds to play. In Clark’s debut as a collegiate head coach, he became just the fourth JSU head coach to win his debut and the first since Jim Fuller in 1977. More importantly, he got the new era of Gamecock football off to a fast start. Redshirt freshman Eli Jenkins earned the starting nod at quarterback for the Gamecocks after a neck-and-neck battle with junior Max Shortell and sophomore Kyle West, but it would be Shortell that put the JSU offense on his back during that decisive third quarter.

ABOUT JSU

COACHES

The transfer entered the game early in the second quarter and ended up throwing for 216 yards and two touchdowns on 13-for-23 passing. He also ran for 22 of JSU’s 108 yards on the ground. Eight Gamecock receivers caught at least one pass, four of which caught their first career passes during the game. Sophomore Telvin Brown caught a career-best five passes for 76 yards and a touchdown to lead that receiving corps.

Wenzig tacked three more points on just over six minutes later after a stalled ASU drive led to a 35-yard kick that stretched the score to 6-0 in ASU’s favor. The Gamecocks mounted a threat late in the second half with a drive that started at their own 28 with 4:53 to play. Shortell went to work, connecting on long gains to Troymaine Pope, Josh Barge and Brown and put the Gamecocks on the one-yard line. As the clock ticked toward the half, DaMarcus James was stopped to allow the Hornets to take their 6-0 lead into the half. The Gamecocks went to work to start the 2nd half, taking the opening kick 68 yards in just eight plays. Shortell orchestrated the scoring drive and used a 20-yard pass to Spencer Goffigan to set JSU up on the Hornets’ two. Pope punched it in on the next play, capping the drive that took just 2:29 off of the clock. Griffin Thomas’ extra point gave the Gamecocks their first lead at 7-6 and snapped a six-quarter scoreless streak for the Gamecock offense. Alabama State answered on the ensuing drive, taking the ball 42 yards on 11 plays before stalling and having to turn to Wenzig again. He was true from 35 yards this time and put his team in front 9-6 with 9:25 left in the third quarter. The scoring continued on JSU’s ensuing possession, one that took nine plays to go 75 yards for another score. Shortell found freshman Anthony Johnson for a 13-yard pass early in the drive, the first reception of the Maplesville, Ala., native’s career. His second came six plays later and resulted in a 23-yard JSU touchdown. There was an answer on the next drive but it was the Gamecock defense that came up with it. Rob Gray stripped the ball from quarterback Daniel Duhart and Jamill Lot fell on it, setting up the Gamecocks on the ASU 45.

Bobby Wenzig was the Hornets’ big scorer, connecting on all three of his field goal tries and his only PAT try.

Shortell wasted no time, finding Telvin Brown over the top for another touchdown, JSU’s second in 66 seconds, to stretch the lead to 21-9 with just under six minutes left in the third quarter.

Jacksonville State - 48 Jacksonville University – 13 September 7, 2013 • Jacksonville, Alabama JACKSONVILLE – Alabama got the best of Florida in the first-ever football battle of the Jacksonvilles. Jacksonville State improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2010 with a 48-13 win over Jacksonville University Saturday night at Burgess-Snow Field before a crowd of 17,592. The Gamecocks extended their winning streak in home openers to eight as a school record four players – Troymaine Pope, Eli Jenkins, DaMarcus James and Miles Jones – each ran for more than 100 yards. Jacksonville State finished with 523 yards rushing on 70 attempts, shattering the previous team rushing record of 453 yards set against Samford in 2004. Pope finished with a career-high 160 yards (and three touchdowns), sophomore Jones ran for 138, Jenkins had 128 and James finished with 105. The Gamecocks broke open a tight game by scoring 17 points in the first 6½ minutes of the second half. JSU put 45 points on the scoreboard in a 26-minute span during the second and third quarters. Head coach Bill Clark became the seventh Jacksonville State coach to win his home debut.

Another defensive stop saw JSU take the ball and drive back into the ASU red zone, but the Gamecocks had to settle for a 22-yard field goal from Thomas that gave them a 24-9 lead late in the third quarter.

“When the running game got going, we really didn’t look back and we only made a few adjustments on defense,” Clark said. “I saw our guys play awfully hard tonight, and I’m proud of special teams.”

Alabama State got its first turnover early in the fourth quarter, and it led to the Hornets’ first touchdown of the game. Shortell’s pass over the middle was icked off by Maurice Tate, who returned it 16 yards to the Gamecock six. Jahaad Coleman ran it in on the first play of the drive and cut JSU’s lead to 24-16 with 11:29 to play.

Pope scored on runs of 5 and 3 yards and James added a 2-yard run as the Gamecocks built a 21-10 halftime lead.

Another special teams play set up the next score, and it wasn’t in JSU’s favor. Wenzig’s 51-yard punt was muffed by Brown, and the Hornets’ Marquis Lovett recovered at the Gamecock nine. Two plays later, Duhart found Chris Gilzeane fo an eight-yard touchdown, but the Hornets’ two-point attempt failed with JSU clinging to a 24-22 lead with just under eight minutes remaining.

The Dolphins’ hopes of a rally evaporated in the first three minutes of the third quarter. JSU moved 63 yards in five plays after the second-half kickoff with Griffin Thomas kicking a 36-yard field goal to extend the Gamecocks’ lead to 24-10. Jacksonville (0-2) moved near midfield on the ensuing possession. But Dolphins quarterback Kade Bell, son of Jacksonville coach and former University of Florida star Kerwin Bell, was picked off by Pierre Warren, who returned the interception 70 yards for a JSU touchdown with 12:02 left in the third. “When I saw the ball come my way … I knew I wasn’t going to be tackled,” said the junior from Marbury. “My defensive players had a nice little convoy set up for me. That was an easy six.” The onslaught continued when JSU’s Ben Endress broke through to block a Jacksonville punt. Jenkins’ second rushing touchdown, a 9-yarder, gave the Gamecocks a 38-10 lead at the 8:30 mark of the third quarter. Pope later ran in from the 4 with 3:28 left in the third for a 45-10 JSU lead. Thomas kicked a 45-yard field goal in the fourth quarter for JSU’s final points.

Jacksonville took the fight to the Gamecocks early, driving 40 yards in eight plays midway through the first quarter. Bell completed passes of 13 and 14 yards as the Dolphins drove deep into JSU territory. He capped the drive with a pass to Dorian Guy on fourth-and-goal from the 1. Dylan Lynch’s PAT gave Jacksonville a 7-0 lead with 6:51 left in the first.

“I’m glad we’re at home, but (UNA) has my total respect,” Clark said. “They’ve won tons of games and we better be ready.

“I thought the defense played outstanding tonight,” said first-year Jacksonville State coach Bill Clark. “Special teams were obviously outstanding with Griffin Thomas doing the things he did. If we would have kept North Alabama out of the end zone at the end of the game, we wouldn’t have ended up in overtime.” Jacksonville State ran its record to 3-0 for the first time since 2010. The Gamecocks play Georgia State next Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Georgia Dome. The Gamecocks led 10-0 after the first quarter. Running back Troymaine Pope’s first pass as a collegian went for a 53-yard touchdown to Markis Merrill on the JSU’s first offensive play and Thomas added a 50-yard field goal five minutes later as the Gamecocks appeared poised to turn the game into a rout. UNA closed to within 10-2 with a safety on the first play of the second quarter when Eli Jenkins was sacked in the end zone by Shaquille Smith. But Jacksonville State’s Thomas capped a short drive set up by a UNA fumble with another field goal for a 13-2 halftime lead. Jacksonville State’s offense, which had 190 yards in the first two quarters, struggled to find its rhythm after halftime. Schuster’s 49-yard field goal capped a 10-play drive late in the third quarter that saw the Lions close the gap to 13-5. The Gamecocks, meanwhile, managed just 23 yards in the third quarter and 44 yards in the fourth, allowing UNA to stay within striking distance. Wingo engineered a 10-play, 76-yard scoring drive to start the fourth quarter and capped it with a 1-yard run with 11:04 remaining. The Lions, trailing 13-11, opted for a two-point conversion attempt, but Wingo’s pass fell incomplete. Hamish MacInnes’ punt on the ensuing JSU possession pinned UNA at its 1. A poor snap resulted in a safety for the Gamecocks, making it 15-11 at the 8:25 mark. Thomas’ field goal with just over three minutes remaining pushed JSU’s lead to 18-11. The teams were penalized a combined 30 times, with Jacksonville drawing a school-record 17 flags for 159 yards. The Gamecocks have only been penalized eight times for 60 yards in wins over Alabama State and Jacksonville.

Jacksonville State – 32 Georgia State – 26 September 21, 2013 • Atlanta, Georgia ATLANTA - Junior DaMarcus James’ third touchdown of the day came in overtime and gave his Jacksonville State football team a thrilling 32-26 win over FBS opponent Georgia State in the Georgia Dome. James ran for 41 yards on 16 carries but ran three times out of the wildcat formation and scored on all three to lift the Gamecocks (4-0) to yet another last-minute win. His career-high three scores is one away from the school record and gives JSU its fifth win over a team from the NCAA’s highest level and first since beating Ole Miss in 2010. The Panthers (0-4) used fireworks on the first play of the game, only to watch JSU storm back and build a 14-point second-half lead. GSU got two big special teams plays that set up 14 points that tied the game, and the two teams exchanged field goals before the game went into overtime. The JSU defense held the Panthers to start the extra frame, and the offense marched 25 yards in six plays to give the Gamecocks their sixth overtime win in 10 tries and sixth in a row. It was JSU’s second trip to the Georgia Dome and its second overtime win in the facility.

HISTORY

JSU outgained the Panthers, 433-400, grabbing 311 of those through the air. All four scores came from its 122 rushing yards on 44 attempts, with Eli Jenkins adding one to James’ career-high three. Max Shortell threw for a career-high 235 yards on 12-for-27 passing, while Jenkins was 5-for-5 for 76 yards through the air. Freshman Josh Barge hauled in eight catches for 124 yards, both career highs for a guy that had just four catches for 50 career yards before Saturday. The Panthers got a duel-threat performance from starting quarterback Ronnie Bell, who threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns on 16-for-41 passing and ran for 57 yards on 11 carries. Albert Wilson was his favorite target, pulling in seven catches for 158 yards and a 75-yard score on the game’s first play. Defensively, Robert Gray had seven tackles, while Caleb Lawrence had six and a sack. JSU had three sacks and six quarterback hurries in the game. The Panthers wasted no time in getting on the board, using just 13 seconds of the first quarter clock before taking a 6-0 lead. Bell found Wilson on a 75-yard strike on the game’s first play that put GSU in front. The game opening bomb was the longest play the JSU defense had allowed this season. The Gamecock defense redeemed itself on its next trip on the field. After a JSU punt, the defense made a move on third down. Ketrick Wolfe stripped the ball from receiver Travis Evans and Pierre Warren scooped it up and returned it 29 yards inside the one. James punched it in on the very next play and Griffin Thomas’ kick gave the Gamecocks a 7-6 lead with 9:24 left in the first. The Panthers grabbed the lead back on the ensuing possession, thanks to a 60-yard kickoff return from Wilson that set up a 39-yard Wil Lutz field goal that pushed the score to 9-7 in GSU’s favor. After the two teams exchanged punts, the Gamecocks drove 90 yards down the field to regain the lead early in the second. A nine-play, 90-yard drive would be the longest of the year for the JSU offense and was capped by another wildcat run of one-yard by James. Max Shortell entered the game early in the drive and set up the score with a 50-yard pass that was dropped right into the hands of Anthony Johnson at the GSU one. The Gamecocks went for two but failed, leaving their lead at 13-9 with just over nine minutes left in the half. Another GSU turnover set up another Gamecock score just before the half. Jamill Lott picked off Bell at midfield and returned it 18 yards to the Panther 41 with 53 seconds left in the half. Shortell connected with Merrill for a 31-yard throw-and-catch that set up a five-yard run from Jenkins. The 27-second drive gave the Gamecocks the halftime lead for the third-straight week at 20-9.

The Gamecocks caught a break midway through the third, when a third-and-long saw Shortell scramble before finding Dalton Screws for first-down yardage. The receiver fumbled, but several GSU players kept pushing it downfield, where Anthony Johnson fell on it at the Panther 14. Thomas kicked a 29-yard field goal to extend JSU’s lead to 23-9 with just under five minutes left in the quarter. The Panthers’ special teams went to work to start the fourth quarter. After forcing a JSU 3-and-out, C.J. Scott blocked Hamish MacInnes’ punt and recovered in the end zone for a score that cut the Gamecocks’ lead to 23-16. On the ensuing kick, Rashod Byers took it from just inside the end zone and fumbled it over to the Panthers at the Gamecock 13-yard line. Two plays later, Bell connected with Robert Davis for a 10-yard touchdown pass. The Panthers scored 14 points in just 62 seconds to tie the game with just over 12 minutes to play. The two exchanged punts before the Gamecocks got back in front. A drive that started at the GSU 48 ended with Thomas’ 34-yard field goal that gave JSU a 26-23 advantage with 2:58 remaining. The Panthers marched the ball down the field as the clock ran down, converting a fourth down and two third-down conversions before Wil Lutz’s 26-yard field goal as time expired sent the game into overtime. JSU won the OT toss and chose to go on defense to start the extra period. A three-and-out forced Lutz to try a 42-yarder, which he missed wide left and set up the Gamecocks’ winning drive. JSU needed just six plays, all of which were rushes by James, to punch it in and escape the Dome with the Gamecocks’ ninth win in the final 80 seconds since the start of 2010.

Murray State – 35 Jacksonville State – 34 September 28, 2013 • Jacksonville, Alabama JACKSONVILLE – The streak, impressive as it was, is finally over.

Jacksonville State (4-1, 0-1) had won the previous nine meetings in the series. Kicker Griffin Thomas sent the game to overtime with a 25-yard field goal on the last play of regulation, the Gamecocks’ third straight OT game.

Murray State’s first three plays failed to gain any yardage. But on fourth-and-10, Miller hooked up with Harness for a 13-yard completion to keep the Racers’ hopes alive. The Racers later converted again on fourth down, this time a 2-yard rush by Miller from the JSU 3, and scored on the next play as Miller snuck in from the 1. After each team called a timeout, Murray State coach Chris Hatcher stayed with his decision to go for the road win and it paid off when Miller connected with Harness. JSU became only the second team in Division I history to play three straight OT games, tying the mark set by Ivy League member Pennsylvania in 2006. “We’ve got them fourth-and-10 and they made a play. Give them credit,” said Jacksonville State coach Bill Clark. “Four turnovers is the thing we need to go back and focus on. We talk about it all the time – if you don’t turn the ball over, you win.”

Quarterback Max Shortell was 22-of-35 for 285 yards, but was picked off three times by the Racers’ opportunistic defense. “Any time you turn the ball over it hurts, especially in the fourth quarter when the game is on the line,” said Shortell. “We can’t have turnovers, especially by me, the quarterback. Murray State led 10-0 after the first quarter. Thomas finally got JSU on the scoreboard with a 30-yard field goal early in the second, but the Racers responded with a 21-yard field goal to make it 13-3 at the 9:44 mark. Miles Jones’ 3-yard run, his first career touchdown, drew the Gamecocks to within 13-10 with 4:37 left in the second. Murray State, however, came back with nine-play, 57-yard touchdown capped by Duane Brady’s 6-yard run. The Gamecocks drove 84 yards in eight plays just before the half but came away without points.

The fumble bounced forward into the end zone and was pounced on by Anthony Hayes for a touchback. The Racers then ran out the clock and carried a 20-10 lead to the locker room at halftime. Murray State’s lead after two quarters marked the first time it had led Jacksonville State at halftime since 2003.

“We came in and made some adjustments at halftime,” said Clark. “I think we really played well defensively in the second half, and that got us back in the game. I wish we had done it earlier.”

Several Gamecocks racked up tackles in the win, led by Jermaine Hough and Pierre Warren with nine apiece. Hough intercepted a pass and Warren had three break-ups. Dustin Gayton and Rashod Byers each made eight tackles. JSU forced two turnovers, the fifth time in six games in which it has forced at least two in a game. Dylan Favre led the Skyhawk offense with 290 yards on 24-for-36 passing. He threw two touchdowns and one interception. Chris Thompson had 107 receiving yards on seven catches, while Jeremy Butler had two scoring catches. The Gamecocks took their first possession down the field and did so quickly, going 69 yards in just three plays and 44 seconds. A 46-yard pass from Shortell to Merrill set up a pair of runs by James that gave JSU the 7-0 lead and the Skyhawks their first deficit to an FCS foe this year. The defense held the Skyhawks on fourth down to get the ball back, and the offense put together an 11-play drive that ended with a 38-yard field goal by Griffin Thomas. The senior improved to 9-for-10 from inside 40 yards and gave JSU a 10-7 lead with 2:34 left in the first. UTM finally lit its side of the scoreboard on the next drive, a 75-yard one that took seven plays and was capped by a 10-yard pass from Favre to Jeremy Butler with 20 seconds to play. The Skyhawks then returned a wayward MacInnes punt to the seven, but an errant snap on the first play fored them to settle for a 37-yard Jackson Redditt field goal that tied the game early in the second quarter, The two exchanged possessions before the Gamecocks used a little trickery to grab the lead back. Shortell dropped a 42-yard pass into Barge’s hands at the UTM 36, setting up a flea flicker that saw DaMarcus James take the handoff before flipping it back to Shortell. The JSU quarterback then tossed it to a wide open Spencer Goffigan for a 36-yard touchdown that gave JSU a 17-10 lead with 5:09 left in the half.

HISTORY

Score by Quarters 1 10 Murray State Jacksonville State 0

The win was the first for JSU this season in which the Gamecocks have never trailed at any point in the game and it also snapped an NCAA-record-tying streak of consecutive overtime games at three.

RECORDS

Jacksonville struck quickly to start the third quarter and took its first lead, 24-20, on James’ 1-yard TD run with 4:06 left in the third quarter.

James continued to etch his name in the Gamecock record books, becoming the first player in school history to tally three three-touchdown games in a career, let alone in three-straight games. With his third 100-plus yard game of the year he surpassed the 500-yard mark at the halfway point of the season. His 184 yards more than doubled the previous high the Skyhawks had allowed by a player this year.

REVIEW

After picking up a first down on fourth-and-3 from the Racers 34, Shortell hit Josh Barge with a long pass near the JSU sideline. As the redshirt freshman receiver ran toward the end zone Murray State defensive back Brandon Wicks reached out and knocked the ball from Barge’s grasp.

The junior from Demopolis, Ala., ran for 184 yards on 23 carries and scored three touchdowns for the third-straight game to help the Gamecocks (5-1, 1-1 OVC) spoil Homecoming for the Skyhawks (3-2, 0-1 OVC). UTM entered the game having never trailed an FCS opponent this season, but it never led in falling to 7-28 all-time to JSU.

OPPONENTS

“Over 600 yards of total offense, we’ve got to put up more (points) than what we did and not turn the ball over.”

MARTIN, Tenn. – DaMarcus James continued to find the end zone and the Jacksonville State football team rolled to a 41-27 Ohio Valley Conference win at No. 22 UT Martin on Saturday.

ABOUT JSU

The teams combined for 1,057 yards. Jacksonville State had a Division I school-record 652 yards of total offense, led by James’ career-best 189 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries.

OUTLOOK

Murray State forced Jacksonville State into a season-high four turnovers – including two interceptions in the fourth quarter – to defeat the Gamecocks 35-34 in overtime Saturday afternoon at Burgess-Snow Field. The Racers (3-2, 1-0 Ohio Valley Conference) opted for a two-point conversion on their first overtime possession and pulled off the victory when quarterback Maikhail Miller rolled out and hit a wide-open Jeremy Harness for the game-winner.

On their next drive, the Skyhawks went for it on fourth and three but an errant snap sailed 21 yards before Jordan Jackson recovered at the UTM 45 with just under two minutes to play. Shortell went to work, driving the Gamecocks the rest of the way and finding Markis Merrill for a 10-yard scoring strike that gave JSU a 24-10 halftime advantage. The Skyhawks held JSU to start the third quarter to get the ball. They were stopped on three plays, but a roughing-thepasser call extended the drive. Favre drove UTM down the field before finding Butler for a 17-yard touchdown pass that cut JSU’s lead to 24-17 with just under nine minutes on the clock. The Gamecock offense couldn’t move the chains again, but the defense came through. Jermaine Hough intercepted Favre and took it 18 yards to the UTM 24. Thomas missed a 40-yard field goal try, but an offsides flag gave him another chance from 35 yards out and he connected. His second successful kick of the day made the Gamecocks’ lead 27-17 with 4:27 left in the third. UTM answered with a 44-yard kick from Redditt to cut it back to a seven-point game, but after two exchanged punts the Gamecocks got back in the end zone. James capped a 10-play 40-yard drive with a one-yard run with just under 10 minutes to play. The big play in the drive was an 19-yard scramble by Shortell on fourth down that kept the scoring drive alive. James put the game on ice with 5:24 to play with his second 50-yard run and his third touchdown run of the day. His

#23 Tennessee State - 31 #24 Jacksonville State – 15 October 12, 2013 • Jacksonville, Alabama JACKSONVILLE – Tennessee State brought the No. 1-ranked overall defense among Football Championship Subdivision teams to Burgess-Snow Field on Saturday for a key Ohio Valley Conference showdown. The Tigers proved worthy of the ranking and spoiled Homecoming for Jacksonville State and most of the crowd of 19,092, holding the Gamecocks 174 yards below their season average to claim a 31-15 OVC win. Jacksonville State, ranked No. 24 in both FCS Top 25 polls, fell to 5-2 and 1-2. The Gamecocks, averaging 243.3 rushing yards through their first six games, finished with only 21 on 34 rushes against what Jacksonville State coach Bill Clark termed “by far the most physical team we’ve played this year.” The 21 yards was JSU’s lowest rushing output in 15 years. “This was one of those games we knew was going to be a tough, hard-fought game,” Clark said in his postgame press conference. “We knew we were going to have to play very well. Obviously we didn’t block them.” “They’re pretty good,” said quarterback Eli Jenkins, who played much of the second half after starter Max Shortell was injured. “We missed a couple of things here and there – a couple of blocks, a couple of reads, cuts and stuff. “If we put all that together, we would have been able to run the ball.” Jacksonville State drove inside the Tigers 30 on its first three possessions but came away with only six points. No. 23 Tennessee State (6-1, 3-0) went three-and-out on its first drive of the day and the Gamecocks took over

at the JSU 31. Jacksonville State’s Troymaine Pope had a 21-yard run and a personal foul penalty against the Tigers after the play moved the ball to TSU’s 16. But the next three plays failed to gain yardage and Griffin Thomas came in to kick a 33-yard field goal to give the Gamecocks a 3-0 lead with 10:19 to go in the first. The Gamecocks drove inside the TSU 30 on their next possession but couldn’t increase the lead. Facing fourth-and-7 from the 29, Thomas lined up for an apparent field goal attempt that instead turned out to be a fake. Tennessee State’s defense, however, stopped the pass from Dalton Screws to Spence Goffigan for no yardage in and the Tigers took over. Tennessee State took advantage and drove 71 yards in six plays. Quarterback Michael German completed the drive with a 5-yard scoring pass to A.C. Leonard and Jamin Godfrey’s extra point gave the Tigers a 7-3 lead they never relinquished. Thomas’ second field goal, a 26-yarder with 14 seconds remaining, cut JSU’s deficit to 7-6. The Gamecocks rolled up 128 yards in the first quarter and controlled the time of possession, 9:37 to 5:23. “We started well, especially offensively,” said Clark. “Anytime you are kicking field goals instead of scoring touchdowns, it has a chance to come back and haunt you.” Tennessee State began to assert itself in the second quarter and built a 21-6 lead by halftime. German threw two second-quarter touchdowns – a 13-yarder to Wesley Samuels and 7-yarder to Weldon Garlington. Godfrey’s second PAT of the quarter gave TSU a 15-point cushion at the break. Shortell left the game with an injury in the third quarter. But the Gamecocks avoided falling further behind when Harris Gaston rushed through to block Godfrey’s 40yard field goal try and Rashod Byers recovered at the 18. With his team pinned at the 9 late in the third quarter, Jenkins found a wide-open Markis Merrill in front of the Gamecocks’ sideline. The sophomore receiver from St. Augustine, Fla., was dragged down from behind just before reaching the end zone and was injured on the play. Merrill was taken from the field via ambulance, , prompting a lengthy delay. Following the stoppage DeMarcus James took a direct snap from center and ran two yards for the touchdown with 36 seconds left in the third. Thomas’ PAT drew the Gamecocks to within 21-13. The momentum appeared to have swung in Jacksonville State’s favor when German fumbled out of the back of the end zone for a safety on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 21-15. TSU, though, got Godfrey 50-yard field goal to make it 24-15 with 10:13 and put the game out of reach with a 10-yard TD pass from Ronald Butler to Samuels. The Tigers’ final score was set up by an interception of JSU reserve quarterback Kyle West. Score by Quarters 1 Tennessee State 7 6 Jacksonville State Scoring Summary: 1st 10:19 JSU 04:15 TSU 2nd

Jacksonville State’s defense limited the Golden Eagles to only 280 yards of total offense, marking the third straight game in the series they have been held to less than 300 yards.

“We probably took some educated risks, which is what we want to do,” added Clark. “That’s how (the defense) is supposed to look. I’m just really proud of the way our guys played – they worked their butts off for two weeks.”

“Kyle West does exactly what you want a backup quarterback to do … he stays prepared,” said Clark. Griffin Thomas contributed two field goals and now has 18 in 2013, tying him for second-most in school history in a season. Thomas extended his streak of games with at least two field goals to seven.

Jacksonville State improved to 6-2 and 2-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Tennessee Tech fell to 3-6 and 0-5. The Gamecocks’ efficient passing attack helped them establish a 24-7 lead at halftime.

Jacksonville State pierced together a methodical 15-play, 80-yard scoring drive on its second possession of the game.

Thomas’ 44-yard field goal and the West-to-Calloway touchdown pass staked the Gamecocks to 17-0. James finished off a six-play, 58-yard scoring drive that consumed only one minute with a 6-yard run. Thomas’ PAT made it 24-7 with 59 seconds left in the half.

The JSU defense held Peay’s quarterbacks to a combined 4-for-26 passing for just 58 yards and two interceptions. Timarious Mitchell was 4-for-23 for all 58 yards and a score, while Jacob Sexton threw two picks in three pass attempts. Junior Jamaal Johnson, who made his first career start at safety for the Gamecocks, led JSU with eight tackles, while junior Caleb Lawrence and senior Barry Stafford each made a career-high seven stops on the front line. In addition to limiting Peay’s passing efficiency, JSU intercepted two passes for the first time this season and had five tackles for a loss. Junior Rashod Byers made the first and returned it 95 yards to get JSU on the board in the first quarter, and senior Rob Gray made his fifth career pick in the second quarter and returned it all the way down to the 3-yard line. Austin Peay’s offense hogged the ball in the first quarter, staying on the field for 11:23 of the first 15 minutes of the game. The Govs also outgained JSU 104-18 in the quarter, but the Gamecock defense stepped up to get the scoring started. With 2:06 left in the quarter, Byers stepped in front of a Jacob Sexton pass into the flats and took it 95 yards for the game’s first score. The sixth-longest interception return in school history would be the first big play for a JSU secondary that took control of the game early on.

2 17 7

The Gamecock defense rose to the occasion to limit its opponents to less than 300 yards of total offense for the second-straight week and really buckled down in the final three quarters. After the Govs gained 104 yards in the first quarter, JSU held them to just 141 yards over the final 45 minutes. Most of their production came from running back Omar Williams, who ran for 179 yards on 35 carries, exactly half of his team’s 70 total plays.

HISTORY

Score by Quarters 1 Jacksonville State 7 Tennessee Tech 0

Barge was the favorite target of sophomore quarterback Kyle West, who finished the day with 188 yards on 18-for-30 passing, in making his first career start for the Gamecocks. Sophomore Bo Billups added a career-high 47 rushing yards, while sophomore Telvin Brawn ran seven times for 32 yards and caught three passes for 32 yards for the JSU offense.

RECORDS

Jenkins completed five passes for 47 yards on the drive as JSU marched from its 20 to Tennessee Tech’s 16. He then scrambled for 10 yards to the 6 and ran into the end zone on the next play with 4:10 left in the first quarter.

James’ production was plenty on a day that saw the Gamecock defense hold the Austin Peay offense to just 245 yards, but JSU got more from freshman wide receiver Josh Barge. The native of Carrollton, Ga., caught nine passes for 115 yards, running his season total to 40 catches for 569 yards, breaking Bubba Long’s JSU freshman record of 34 catches for 540 yards in 1966.

REVIEW

Jenkins and West were a combined 12-of-16 for 182 yards and one touchdown. West, who entered the game after Jenkins was shaken up in the second quarter, completed all four of his first-half passes for 69 yards, including his first career touchdown, a 35-yarder to freshman Earl Calloway.

James tied the OVC record for rushing touchdowns in a game and broke the school record of four that was set on the same field by Cedric Johnson in 2007. He finished the day with 102 yards on 19 carries and ran his season touchdown total to 17 and his career number to 23. After leading the Gamecocks (7-2, 3-2 OVC) to the win over the Governors (0-9, 0-5 OVC), he now ranks second in school history in rushing touchdowns in a season and eighth on the career list.

OPPONENTS

Punter Hamish MacInnes also etched his name in the Jacksonville State record book with a wind-aided 86-yard punt during the third quarter. MacInnes’ kick broke a Zach Walden’s 2006 school record of 81 yards and is the longest among Football Championship Subdivision punters this season.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Junior DaMarcus James ran for a school-record five touchdowns and the Jacksonville State defense shut down Austin Peay in rolling to a 42-10 Ohio Valley Conference win on Saturday evening.

ABOUT JSU

West, a redshirt sophomore, entered the game in the second quarter after an injury to starter Eli Jenkins and was 11-of-17 for 138 yards without an interception. He tossed a 35-yard TD pass to Earl Calloway in the second quarter – the first of his JSU career – and added a 26-yarder to Anthony Johnson in the fourth.

The Govs used the ground to generate their early momentum, but when they needed to throw it wasn’t there. Quarterbacks Timarious Mitchell and Jacob Sexton combined to go 1-for-17 passing for just 16 yards and two interceptions in the first half, while the Gamecocks used that defense to build an early lead and take a 28-3 lead into the halftime locker room. James scored three touchdowns in the second quarter, the first Gamecock to do so in one quarter since Jamal Young at Eastern Illinois in September of 2010. JSU countered Peay’s lopsided first quarter of total offense by gaining 139 yards to the Govs’ 42 in the second quarter. Omar Williams carried the load for Peay in the first half with 120 of the Govs’ 146 yards on 22 carries. JSU picked up in the third quarter where it left off in the second. After an Austin Peay three-and-out to start the half, the Gamecocks put together its longest drive of the night. The 10-play drive went 61 yards and finished with James’ fourth score, and after Peay’s lone touchdown late in the quarter, James scored his final and recordbreaking score on a 40-yard scamper with 23 seconds left in the quarter.

Jacksonville State – 68 Eastern Kentucky – 10 November 9, 2013 • Jacksonville, Alabama JACKSONVILLE – Saturday’s Jacksonville State-Eastern Kentucky showdown was a de facto playoff play-in game for both teams. The Gamecocks, one of four teams that began the day with two OVC losses, were in desperate need of a win to have an outside shot at the league title and keep their playoff hopes alive. With Ohio Valley Conference leader Eastern Illinois having already beaten EKU, the Colonels arrived at BurgessSnow Field looking to maintain their grip on second place in the league standings. The opportunistic Gamecocks (8-2, 4-2 OVC) ran roughshod over Eastern Kentucky to claim a 68-10 victory in front of a crowd of 16,876. The win was JSU’s third straight and snapped the Colonels’ three-game win streak in the series. The 68 points were the most ever scored by Jacksonville State against an OVC opponent, eclipsing the previous record of 59 scored against UT-Martin in 2004. “It was as good a performance as I’ve ever been involved with,” Jacksonville State coach Bill Clark said. “I knew we were ready. We took some chances and it paid off.” Eli Jenkins ran for three touchdowns and DaMarcus James and Troymaine Pope had two each as the Gamecocks piled up 503 yards of total offense. James now has 19 TDs this year, tying him with Oscar Bonds (2004) for most in JSU history in a single season. The junior from Demopolis has scored 18 touchdowns over his last seven games. Eastern Kentucky – which came to Jacksonville riding a four-game win streak – fell to 6-4 and 4-2. Jacksonville State led 40-3 at halftime after holding the OVC’s top rushing team to 25 yards on 24 carries. It was the most points in a half by a Gamecocks’ squad since scoring 41 in the second half against Cumberland in 2001. JSU scored on six of its nine offensive possessions in the first half and added a defensive TD when linebacker Michael Carlisle forced an EKU fumble and Ketrick Wolfe recovered in the end zone. Wolfe’s score was the Gamecocks’ third touchdown in a span of 6 minutes, 12 seconds. Jacksonville State outgained the Colonels 339-67 in the first half and 503-213 for the game.

Griffin Thomas got the onslaught started with a career-long 52-yard field goal on JSU’s second series. Thomas’ kick also tied Steven Lee’s 10-year-old school mark for longest field goal. Ben Endress blocked an Eastern Kentucky punt moments later and JSU needed just two plays to get into the end zone. Pope ran in from the 6 with 7:37 to go in the first quarter to give the Gamecocks a 9-0 lead. The Colonels got on the scoreboard with a 34-yard field goal by Andrew Lloyd at the 2:53 mark in the first quarter to cut JSU’s lead to 9-3. Jacksonville State’s 21 points in just over six minutes turned what had been a close game into a rout. James scored on an 11-yard run to cap a six-play drive that consumed just 1 minute, 44 seconds. Thomas’ extra point made it 16-3, the most points the Gamecocks had scored in a first quarter in four seasons. Backup quarterback Jenkins sprinted 71 yards up the middle for a score and Thomas tacked on the PAT for a 23-3 lead with 10:55 left in the second. Wolfe’s fumble recovery in the end zone 57 seconds later extended JSU’s cushion to 30-3 early in the second quarter. James finished off an eight-play, 62-yard drive with a 9-yard run with 2:20 remaining in the second, moving him into a tie with Bonds atop JSU’s single-season touchdown record. Thomas’s 33-yard field goal, his second of the game, on the final play of the first half made it 40-3. “That’s one of the best halves I’ve ever been part of, and I’m talking about against a good team,” Clark said. “The team totally bought in and believed in what we were telling them all week.” Starting quarterback Max Shortell threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to freshman Josh Barge and Jenkins ran five yards as Jacksonville State pushed its lead to 54-10 by the end of the third quarter. Eastern Kentucky’s only touchdown came on its first drive after halftime when the Colonels marched 79 yards in 20 plays, capped by Jared McClain’s 2-yard run. The time-consuming drive ate 8 minutes, 21 seconds off the clock. In the fourth quarter, Pope tacked on a 25-yard run and Jenkins went 21 yards for the Gamecocks’ final points with 4:35 remaining. Jenkins led the Gamecocks with 120 yards rushing on only seven carries. Shortell completed 14-of-20 passes for 190 yards with one touchdown.

#2 Eastern Illinois - 14 #22 Jacksonville State - 14 November 16, 2013 • Charleston, Illinois CHARLESTON, Illinois – Eastern Illinois proved worthy of its No. 2 national ranking.

Eastern Illinois (10-1, 7-0) put up a school-record 35 points in the first quarter and outgained the Gamecocks 595-253 for the afternoon. On a day of few bright spots for the Gamecocks’ offense, junior DaMarcus James etched his name in JSU’s record book with a 1-yard touchdown dive in the fourth quarter.

The tone of the game was set on the third play from scrimmage when quarterback Max Shortell fumbled a handoff and EIU’s Clint Simpkins recovered at JSU’s 15. Shepard Little ran in from the 3 to finish off the short drive and give the Panthers a 7-0 lead with 13:48 left in the first quarter.

Little caught an 18-yard touchdown from NFL draft prospect Jimmy Garoppolo, ran 37 yards for another score and tossed a 10-yard throwback pass to Garoppolo to make it 28-0 at the 3:22 mark in the first quarter. Jimmy Lera’s 57-yard jaunt up the middle stretched the Panthers’ cushion to 35-0 with 46 seconds to go in opening quarter.

Cameron Berra’s short field goal sent the Gamecocks to the locker room trailing 38-7 at halftime. Score by Quarters 1 0 Jacksonville State Eastern Illinois 35

The Gamecocks posted 5,244 yards of total offense in the 12 games, eclipsing the school record of 4,882 set in 1991. The 1991 record was set in 14 games. Clark’s ninth win in his first season ties him with Jim Fuller (1977) for the most regular season wins by a first-year head coach in JSU history. Fuller went 9-2 in his first season at the Gamecocks’ helm, then won a pair of playoff games to finish 11-3 overall. Pope finished off a pair of seven-play scoring drives in the second half with TD runs of 21 and 3 yards. The sophomore’s 3-yard scoring run gave Jacksonville State its biggest lead, 42-13, with 1:45 remaining in the third quarter. But the resilient Redhawks (3-9, 2-6) refused to fold in their season finale. SEMO piled up 21 unanswered points in just over seven minutes to start the fourth quarter, closing the deficit to 42-34 with 7:41 to go. SEMO had one last shot to pull even after Jacksonville State’s Griffin Thomas missed a 44-yard field goal attempt with 2:26 remaining. Starting at their 29, the Redhawks moved downfield to JSU’s 15 in 12 plays, but backup quarterback Kyle Snyder’s 9-yard pass to Peter Lloyd on fourth down came up a yard short and the Gamecocks ran out the clock to preserve the victory. “We played really great for a half,” Clark said. “It was still a good night and we’re glad to get out of here (with a win).” Jacksonville State registered its most first-quarter points since 2009 as James scored on runs of 1 and 15 yards and Jenkins added a 7-yard TD in the game’s first 12 minutes. James later added his third TD, an 8-yard run, to cap a 74-yard, 10-play JSU drive. Thomas’ extra point made it 28-6 with 3:16 left before intermission.

#20 Jacksonville State – 55 #16 Samford – 14 November 30, 2013 • Jacksonville, Alabama JACKSONVILLE – The renewal of the Jacksonville State-Samford rivalry turned out to be one of the most lopsided outcomes in the history of the series that began in 1905. The 20th-ranked Gamecocks scored on six of their first seven possessions and routed No. 18 Samford 55-14 in a first-round Football Championship Subdivision playoff game at Burgess-Snow Field. Jacksonville State limited the Bulldogs to only two first downs and 17 total yards in the first half en route to a 38-0 lead at intermission. Samford did not get into Jacksonville State territory until early in the third quarter.

RECORDS

The teams met seven times from 1997-2003 when both were Southland members. Kickoff at Cowboy Stadium in Lake Charles, La., is set for 6 p.m.

HISTORY

Next for the Gamecocks (10-3) is a second-round matchup against former Southland Conference foe McNeese State (10-2), the tournament’s No. 6 overall seed.

Jacksonville State beat Samford for the ninth straight time and now leads the all-time series 23-21-2. It was the Gamecocks’ first postseason victory since the NCAA Division II Championship Game in 1992.

The Gamecocks’ offense piled up 361 total yards in the first 30 minutes while JSU’s defense held the Bulldogs (8-5) to a shade more than 1.6 yards per play and forced seven punts. Jacksonville State scored five touchdowns and a field goal in the first half – the only possession that ended without points came when kicker Griffin Thomas hit the right upright on a 46-yard field goal attempt.

“The effort tonight, the execution in every phase, was terrific,” said Jacksonville State head coach Bill Clark. “Samford really had a good team. I thought we just really played well tonight.

OVC

“It was all three phases and that’s what I was really proud of.” JSU’s points came early and often against the Southern Conference co-champions. The Bulldogs’ defense, which had allowed 25.8 points per game during the regular season, surrendered a season-high 38 by halftime and allowed 482 yards for the game. “Obviously this was very disappointing to us,” said Samford head coach Pat Sullivan. “I didn’t think we played our best, but we should have been more competitive. But sometimes that’s the way it goes.” Telvin Brown’s 22-yard punt return after Samford’s opening drive stalled set up the Gamecocks’ first score. DaMarcus James scored on a 2-yard run to cap the eight-play, 51-yard drive. Thomas’ extra point made it 7-0 just four minutes into the game. Brown, playing for the first time since the Eastern Kentucky game on Nov. 9, accounted for 176 all-purpose yards in the win. The sophomore from Carrollton, Ga., scored twice, the first on a 47-yard TD pass from Eli Jenkins early in the second quarter. His second touchdown came on an electrifying 67-yard run on the Gamecocks’ first play of the second half, extending their lead to 45-0. Jenkins had a 72-yard TD run, James added a 1-yard run, Miles Jones ran in from 12 yards out and Thomas kicked a 37-yard field goal as Jacksonville State built its 38-point halftime cushion. Thomas’ 47-yard field goal midway through the third quarter was his 22nd of the season and moved him into a tie with Gavin Hallford (2007) for the most field goals in JSU history in a season.

Linebacker Robert Gray’s fumble recovery in the end zone in the fourth quarter resulted in JSU’s final points. “I’m pretty much looking forward to the next one,” said senior linebacker Rashad Smith. “After this, the energy, I feel like this is going to bring everybody together. We’re going to get something moving.” Score by Quarters 1 Samford 0 Jacksonville State 17 Scoring Summary: 1st 11:00 08:30 00:55 2nd 08:47

#20 Jacksonville State – 31 #6 McNeese State – 10 December 7, 2013 • Lake Charles, Louisiana LAKE CHARLES, La. – Three wins now stand between Jacksonville State and the 2013 Football Championship Subdivision title. The Gamecocks’ defense continued its stellar play in the postseason, sacking No. 6 McNeese State’s quarterback a school-record 11 times in a 31-10 victory at Cowboy Stadium Saturday night. The 20th-ranked Gamecocks (11-3) advance to next week’s quarterfinals at No. 3 Eastern Washington (11-2), a 41-17 winner over South Dakota State in another second-round matchup. The march to the FCS quarterfinals continues JSU’s deepest advance in the NCAA playoffs since winning the 1992 Division II national championship. Its 11 wins are the most by a Gamecock squad since the ‘92 season. “Going into any game against a great opponent, you never really expect to come out and play as well as we did,” said Jacksonville State head coach Bill Clark. “Our defense played well in the first half time after time against a great offense. “It was just a great effort by our coaches and players to come on the road and win against a real quality opponent.” McNeese State, which defeated Jacksonville State seven straight times from 1997-2003 when both teams were Southland Conference members, ends its season at 10-3. Junior DaMarcus James ran 24 times for 127 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Gamecocks. He became

R e v i e w :

Jacksonville State’s all-time single-season rushing leader and now stands at 1,431 yards, surpassing Rondy Rodgers previous record of 1,417 yards in 2001. James has now run for a touchdown in 11 straight games and now has 28 TDs in 2013. The Cowboys entered the playoff showdown as the fourth-highest scoring team in FCS at 42.5 points per game while rolling up 464 yards per outing. JSU’s ball-hawking defense kept McNeese State out of the end zone until just over 10 minutes remained in the fourth quarter. Jacksonville State scored 14 points off turnovers in the first half and sacked McNeese State quarterback Cody Stroud seven times to build a 21-0 lead at intermission. It marked the second straight week JSU had held a playoff opponent scoreless in the first half – the Gamecocks led Samford 38-0 at halftime in the first round.

Eli Jenkins found Josh Barge in the end zone on first down and Griffin Thomas tacked on the extra point for a 7-0 JSU lead with less than two minutes elapsed.

Jenkins hooked up with Telvin Brown for a 46-yard completion early in the second quarter and James carried the load the rest of the way, covering the final 30 yards on four carries. His 1-yard run and Thomas’ second PAT made it 14-0 at the 12:52 mark in the second quarter. Another McNeese State turnover led to the Gamecocks’ next score when Pierre Warren picked off Stroud and returned it 19 yards to the Cowboys’ 31.

Thomas kicked a 39-yard field goal late in the third quarter to become the Ohio Valley Conference’s all-time record holder for field goals with 23.

James finished the 2013 campaign with a school-record 29 rushing touchdowns. Eastern Washington scored on its first drive of the second half to regain the lead for good. The Eagles added the clincher when Havili stepped in front of a Max Shortell pass and returned the interception 77 yards with 10:40 remaining to make it 35-24. Jacksonville State – which had outscored its first two playoff opponents (Samford, McNeese State) by a combined 59-0 in the first half – found itself tied with the high-octane Eagles 21-21 at intermission. The two offenses piled up 649 yards in the first 30 minutes. JSU’s defense forced a pair of first-half turnovers after the Eagles had moved into the red zone. The first turnover, a fumble recovery by Harris Gaston, came after the only punt of the half, a 35-yarder by Hamish MacInnes that gave EWU possession at JSU’s 37. But Gaston forced a fumble at the goal line and recovered it in the end zone to stop the threat. Jacksonville State came back with a 60-yard march from its 20 to Eastern Washington’s 20. But the Gamecocks came away without points when All-American kicker Griffin Thomas missed a 37-yard field goal attempt wide to the right. Eastern Washington covered 80 yards in six plays after the missed field goal try. Adams capped it off with a 29-yard scoring pass to Cooper Kupp at the 5:52 mark to make it 7-0. The Jenkins-led Gamecocks’ offense took the ensuing kickoff and drove 75 yards in 13 plays to tie it. Telvin Brown capped the drive by taking a pitch from Jenkins and tossing a 3-yard pass to tight end Gavin Ellis in the back of the end zone. Thomas kicked the PAT to make it 7-7 with 55 seconds left in the first quarter. Robert Gray intercepted Adams early in the second quarter and JSU took advantage of the second EWU turnover. Jenkins’ running and passing quickly moved the Gamecocks 80 yards in 12 plays. Jenkins finished off the go-ahead scoring march with a 10-yard pass to Anthony Johnson at the 10:48 mark and Thomas’ PAT gave JSU a 14-7 lead. Eastern Washington’s second scoring drive of 1 minute, 45 seconds pulled the Eagles into a 14-14 tie. Forte went three yards for a touchdown at the 9:03 mark and Kevin Miller’s kick tied the game for the second time. But the first-half scoring outburst wasn’t over. James took a direct snap and ran in from the EWU 1 with 6:11 left in the second quarter to finish off a 72-yard drive. Thomas’ PAT put Jacksonville State ahead for the second time, 21-14. The Eagles, however, answered with another quick score, drawing even at 21-21 when Adams and Ashton Clark hooked up on a 41-yard TD reception with 2:39 left before halftime. Eastern Washington’s Adams, a sophomore, threw for 324 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Clark caught 11 of Adams’ 18 completions for 181 yards and one TD.

Jenkins sprinted 30 yards on first down and James finished off the drive with a 1-yard dive on fourth-and-goal. Thomas’ kick extended JSU’s lead to 21-0 with 1:53 left before the half.

CHENEY, Wash. – The red carpet on the road to Frisco, Texas, turned out to be a roadblock for Jacksonville State.

GAMECOCKS

“That was just a really good start for us,” said Clark. “We capitalized on the turnover early with a big pass play right off. It was a good first half for us. It started with the defense and the offense played well.”

Blackie Heath - 1946

Ray Vinson - 1966

Blackie Heath was the first football player to grab All-America honors at Jacksonville State under Coach Don Salls, and he set the precedent for many to follow. Known for his blazing speed, Heath played tailback on the 1946 team and led the team in rushing and total offense.

Ray Vinson earned Associated Press All-America honors in 1966 and was one of the most talented players to ever put on a Gamecock uniform. Vinson led Jax State in every offensive department as a freshman and broke records on defense as a senior. He intercepted 13 passes his senior year and, although he wasn’t drafted in the pro draft, he was signed by the San Diego Chargers. The Oxford, Ala., native finished with a total of 15 interceptions at Jacksonville State and his pass interception marks, season and career (16), will probably never be broken.

John Williams - 1947 Fullback John Williams, a tough 185-pound bulldozer of a runner, ripped his way for 997 yards to set a new standard in modern times for yards gained at Jacksonville State. The mark stood for seven years until another Gamecock All-America came along to clip the mark. During the 1947 campaign, the Gamecocks knocked off ninestraight foes, blanking five, and it was the fine running and leadership of one John Williams who led the way. John went on to become a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy.

Jodie Connell - 1953 When fans gather at Homecoming or whenever Gamecock football is the subject, the name of Jodie Connell always pops up in the conversation. Jodie, playing with only one arm, mastered everyone who dared line up in front in the 1953 season. He was a first-team Associated Press selection at the guard position.

Al Woodham - 1954 Perhaps the fastest halfback to ever carry football at Jacksonville State, Al Woodham erased John Williams’ rushing record of 997 yards with a total of 1,024 yards in 1954. For his efforts, Woodham was chosen for All-American honors and earned the school’s first trip to the Blue-Gray Game in Montgomery, Ala.

Billy Hicks - 1955 One of the really outstanding runners in Gamecock football history is All-American Billy Hicks. His finest hour came in the 1955 Refrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Ind., when he helped Jax State whip Rhode Island, 12-10, to give the Gamecocks a 10-1 record. Hicks, a giant of a man (6-2, 245), played a couple of seasons in the Canadian Football League after his career at Jacksonville State.

Jim Glasgow - 1957 At 6-5 and 235 pounds, Glasgow was one of the largest, toughest and fastest tackles in the country, and his fine play earned him All-America honors. Glasgow became the second JSU player to play in the Blue- Gray Game in Montgomery, Ala., joining Al Woodham.

Bill Nichols - 1958 Bill Nichols, a fellow who didn’t resemble a football player until he got the ball because of his size, outran everyone during the 1958 season to earn All-America honors. Nichols became just the second player in JSU history to rush for more than 1,000 yards after gaining 1,051 yards in 1958.

Al Carter - 1961 Arland “Al” Carter picked up his All-American honor in 1961 after leading JSU to a 6-2-1 record. Carter led the Alabama Collegiate Conference in total offense and was named the most valuable back in the ACC. Carter played tailback in the Gamecocks’ single-wing formation.

J

Terry Harris - 1967 Terry Harris, like Ray Vinson, was a versatile player who excelled on both offense and defense, but defense was where he shined the brightest. Harris’ defensive efforts earned him Little All-America recognition from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Terry signed with the San Diego Chargers. Terry held the record for most yards pass receiving (career) for more than 30 years and had 13 interceptions in two seasons. It was Harris’ leadership on defense in 1967 that helped Jax State intercept 23 passes in 10 games.

Jimmy Champion - 1970 Jimmy Champion, Jacksonville State’s “champion” blocker at center in 1970 when the Gamecocks went 10-0-0 and won the Orange Blossom Classic, will be ranked as one of the all-time great linemen in JSU history. He was the first player to ever make first-team AP and NAIA All-America at Jacksonville State. His blocking helped the Gamecocks score 35 points per game and average close to 400 yards total offense per game. He was a four-year starter at Jacksonville State.

Bruce Nichols - 1971 Bruce Nichols was deserving of Little All-America honors in two seasons but made the selection only once, his senior year. He asked not to be considered his junior year so that several outstanding seniors that year could receive more consideration. A four-year starter, Bruce signed with the Dallas Cowboys following the 1971 season. He was also a two-time all-conference pick. His blocking allowed the Gamecocks to average 34 points per game for two years.

Alan Paseur - 1972 Alan Paseur’s climb to fame at Jacksonville State University is an example of what hard work and dedication can achieve. Not blessed with outstanding ability and seemingly beset with hard luck, Paseur overcame both on his way to Little AllAmerica honors at JSU. Paseur overcame two serious knee operations and worked to support a family of two on his way to LAA honors. Not bad for a guy who weighed 170 pounds in high school and the person whose services were only wanted by the military recruiter. Paseur was named to the NAIA postseason squad.

Boyce Callahan - 1973 Boyce Callahan became Jacksonville State’s second Little All-American to make both the Associated Press and NAIA teams. Jimmy Champion (1970) was the other. Callahan, in his four-year career, broke every rushing and scoring record in JSU history. He gained 4,228 yards and scored 40 touchdowns, totaling 240 points. In addition, he set the season rushing record with 1,293 yards and the single-game mark with 275 yards against Florence State.

Calvin Word - 1974 • 1975 Calvin Word became the only Jacksonville State football player to earn Little AllAmerica honors twice when he made NAIA and Associated Press teams in 1974 and 1975. The 215-pound offensive tackle signed with the Dallas Cowboys following graduation. He won most valuable offensive lineman at Jax State and was voted team captain. JSU’s 1974 team won the Gulf South Conference title.

Generations of Jacksonville State fans have known their favorite team by one of the most unique nicknames in college sports. But the man they have to thank for it never thought he was making history at the time he suggested the change.

Houston Cole agreed to let the players change the name. The 23-man squad approved it and Eagle Owl went away. “It was a big deal, because we were the Eagle Owls and who wanted to be an Eagle Owl?” football coach Don Salls said. “That’s the biggest thing anybody could ever do to a school, get rid of the Eagle Owl and change the name. That’s a big deal — a big, big, big deal.” “I played one year as an Eagle Owl — 1946,” Wilson said. “Everywhere we went they asked us what an Eagle Owl was. We said we didn’t know what it was.” The mascot wasn’t the only thing the players changed. There also was a move to switch colors from purple — which Wilson said was considered an “outlaw color” at the time — and gold

to the current red and white. Actually, that was something Salls wanted and it fit nicely with the fact many of the players came from high school programs that were red and white anyway. Those who wanted the color change told Wilson if his group supported their initiative they would support his cause. Both changes passed smoothly. “I don’t remember anybody being opposed to it,” Wilson said. “The next thing we knew, Coach Salls said you got want you want, you got the Gamecocks and the Red and White.” To this day JSU and South Carolina are the only two Division I schools in the United States that go by the name Gamecocks.

Baldy and the boys were just coming home from the war and Wilson figured a new era for the college team needed a new mascot to reflect the fiesty spirit of the players.

“I didn’t realize it was making history or anything like that,” Wilson said. “We were back from the great war; we didn’t sweat much. I just enjoyed living and being where I was and what I was doing. We just enjoyed being there.”

E.C. “Baldy” Wilson is credited with leading the effort to change the JSU mascot and nickname to Gamecocks from the Eagle Owls they were known as before World War II.

The ACC

196

No, it’s not the Atlantic Coast Conference. At least not for this reference. It was the Alabama Collegiate Conference, which the Gamecocks competed in during the 1960’s. The four state supported colleges - Jacksonville State, Troy State, Florence State (now UNA), and Livingston (now West Alabama) - formed the ACC in 1960. The Gamecocks shared the conference football crown with Florence State in 1962 and 1963 and then won the next three football championships in 1964, 1965 and1966. The Gamecocks produced numerous All-ACC players throughout the 1960’s, but those records are incomplete. In 1969, JSU placed Bubba Long (RB) and Gary Godfrey (LB) on the All-Conference squad.

Academic Accolades Josh Cain, who was a walk-on player as a freshman and was an All-OVC performer by his senior season in 2009, became the most decorated academic performer in Gamecock football history. The Wetumpka, Ala., native became the first player in JSU history and OVC history to earn the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Scholar-Athlete of the Year $5,000 graduate scholarship. The defensive back also became just the second player in JSU history to earn ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American first-team honors and only the 16th in OVC history. Cain was also named the 2009 OVC Scholar-Athlete, to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, Georgia Peach of an Athlete and the 2009 JSU Eagle-Owl Award Winner.

All-Americans The Gamecocks have had a total of 54 players selected All-America since the modern day records begin in 1946. The school’s first AllAmerica was halfback Blackie Heath in 1946 and the next year, John Williams earned the honor. Offensive tackle Calvin Word was the first JSU player to be named All-American twice (1974 and 1975). Butch Barker and Jesse Baker each earned the honor in 1977 and 1978, while Ed Lett (QB) was a repeat All-American in 1981 and 1982. Offensive lineman Joe Billingsley was named to the squad in 1986 and 1988 and Danny Lee (Return Specialist) repeated in 1991 and 1992. Linebacker Ja’Karl Barnett was a selection in 1992 and 1993. JSU’s first AllAmerica at the Division I level was defensive back Darron Edwards in 1995 and Eric Mims in 1996. The Gamecocks placed three members on the 1998 All-America team when Mark Word (DE), Montressa Kirby (QB) and Eurosius Parker (Return Specialist) each earned the honor. Delvin Hughley (DB) was named to the 2000 All-American squad. In 2001, senior offensive lineman Jeremy Sullivan was named second team and freshman punter Richie Rhodes earned third-team honors.

During JSU’s second OVC Championship, John Pettus and Oscar Bonds both earned second-team All-American honors, while Craig Agee was a third-team All-American after leading the nation in punt returns as a sophomore. In 2005, senior offensive lineman Rod Olds earned third-team honors, while junior runningback Clay Green also earned third-team All-America accolades. In 2007, junior kicker Gavin Hallford was named third-team All-America by The Associated Press, while Carnell Clark earned Associated Press All-America honors in 2008. Jax State had three players named All-America in 2009, including T.J. Heath (DB), Tylor Chambers (OL) and OVC Player of Year Ryan Perrilloux (QB). Senior Curt Porter (OL) earned All-America honors in 2010 as JSU went 9-3 and into the second round of the NCAA playoffs. In JSU’s most successful season in Division I in 2013, Griffin Thomas (PK), DaMarcus James (RB) Max Holcombe (C), Eli Jenkins (QB) and Josh Barge (WR) all five earned All-America honors after leading the Gamecocks to an 11-4 record and into the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs.

All-Star Games Nine different Gamecock football players have participated in post-season all-star games. Halfback Al Woodham was the first JSU player to play in the Blue-Gray Classic in 1955. Four years later, Jim Glasgow (OT) played in the Classic, which is held in the City of Montgomery on Christmas Day each year. JSU’s first player to participate in the Blue-Gray Classic since moving to Division I in 1993 was defensive end Mark Word in 1998. JSU has had three players to play in the Senior Bowl, with record setting quarterback Dieter Brock playing in 1974. Defensive lineman Jesse Baker was selected to play in 1979 and runningback Sean Richardson played in 1994. Baker also played in the EastWest Shine game in 1979. Delvin Hughley (DB) participated in the 2000 Blue-Gray game in Montgomery. Quarterback Ryan Perrilloux was the first Gamecock selected to play in the Texas versus the Nation All-Star game following the 2009 season. Curt Porter also palyed in the Texas versus the Nation All-Star game in 2010, while Rodney Garrott played in the 2011 FCS Senior Scout Bowl.

Battle for ‘Ole School Bell At every level of play in football, there are historic rivalry games between teams. There is that certain game circled on every fans calendar and for Gamecock fans, it’s the Troy State game. The rivalry dates back to 1924 and the two teams have met a total of 62 times, with Jax State holding a 33-28-2 lead in the series. JSU owns the longest win streak in the series, winning 13-straight in the series from 1954-66.

Bowl Games The Gamecocks have played in eight bowl games, dating back to the 1948 season. JSU has an all-time record of 6-2 in bowl games. Jax State first played in the 1948 Paper Bowl and defeated Troy State, 19-0. JSU returned to the Paper Bowl and defeated Livingston (now West Alabama), 12-7 in 1949. Jax State suffered its first loss in a bowl game after losing 7-6 to the Pensacola Cards Navy team in 1950. JSU whipped Rhode Island, 12-10, in the Refrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Ind., in 1955. In 1966, the Gamecocks defeated Arkansas A&M, 41-30, in the 1966 Space City Classic. JSU’s 21-7 victory over Florida A&M in the 1970 Orange Blossom Classic in Miami’s Orange Bowl, is one of the top victories in Gamecock history. JSU defeated North Dakota State , 31-7, in front of more than10,000 and an ABC-TV regional television audience in the Grantland Rice Bowl to advance to the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1977. The following week, the Gamecocks suffered just their second bowl loss after Lehigh claimed a 33-0 win over JSU in the Gamecocks’ first ever nationally televised football game in the Pioneer Bowl.

Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium Since Paul Snow Stadium opened in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 252-98-8 record at home. JSU has the highest winning percentage and the most wins in the OVC since joining the league in 2003, posting a 46-14 record over the last 11 years. The stadium completed a $47 million expansion and is one of the top facilities in the country. The new facility consists of seven stories, with the bottom four floors dedicated to nearly 400 dorm beds. The top three floors include 33 luxury skyboxes, a new press area, coaches booths, radio and television broadcast facilities, and a game management booth. The stadium included additional seats that push the capacity of Paul Snow Stadium to 24,000. The stadium underwent renovations in 1976 with the addition of the east end zone and south sideline seats. The fieldhouse also also constructed at the west end zone to enclose the stadium and then in the summer of 2005, the natural playing surface was replaced with Pro-Grass synthetic surface. Improvements in 2007 included two new scoreboards and the addition of “Gamecock Vision” a new video replay scoreboard. It is located in the east endzone and features a 14’ x 24’ ProStar VideoPlus Display that is one of the largest in the OVC. The video replay system utilizes the V-Link 4000 Video Processor and the Venus 7000 Controler. On the Gamecock Field House, a new scoreboard was installed as Paul Snow

COACHES

One of the single most memorable plays in JSU football history came on November 11, 1996, JSU was facing Western Illinois in front of a Homecoming crowd. The Gamecocks had just :03 seconds left in the game trailing 27-26 and had the ball on the Western Illinois 42-yard line. Freshman quarterback JeDarius Issac took the snap and lobbed a “hail mary” pass on the game’s final play that somehow ended up in the hands of wide receiver Patrick Plott in the end zone as the Gamecocks grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat. JSU seemingly had the game well in hand, leading 26-13 with 10:09 to play, but the Leathernecks came storming back. A touchdown run with 4:46 remaining in the game cut the lead to 26-20, and with just 50 seconds showing on the clock, a 22-yard fourth-down scoring pass and the ensuing extra point had given WIU a 27-26 lead. But Issac calmly directed the Gamecocks 71 yards in 50 seconds, capping it off with the 42-yard pass to Plott for the game-winner.

Gulf South Conference If there was ever a dominating team in the Gulf South Conference, Jacksonville State would lay claim to it. The GSC was born in the summer of 1970 when representative from six institutions -- Delta State, Florence State (now UNA), Livingston (now West Alabama), Tennessee-Martin, Troy State and Jacksonville State -- convened in Birmingham to form the MidSouth Conference, the forerunner to the GSC. Scheduling problems in the first year permitted competition only in football, with JSU winning the league’s first championship in 1971. Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State joined the conference, bringing the membership to eight and the league also changed its name to the Gulf South Conference. On June 1, 1992, JSU officially withdrew its membership from the GSC. During the 22 years the Gamecocks competed in the GSC, JSU won 37 regular season titles, six NCAA Division II National Championships and more All-Sports Trophies than any school in league history, including an unprecedented

COACHES

Playing football with just one arm didn’t slow down this Gamecock AllAmerican. Jodie Connell was a fouryear starter for the Gamecocks from 1950-52. As a ten-year old boy, Connell suffered an accident on a tire swing which resulted in his left arm being amputated just below the elbow. Connell played baseball and ran track at Gadsden High School, but it was his accomplishments on the gridiron that are best remembered. A two-time All-State selection, Connell came to JSU in 1950 and played both football and baseball. As a freshman, Connell beat out five returning lettermen for a starting position at guard, a spot that he held all four years at JSU. Connell, Jodie Connell who rushed for several touchdowns on a guard-around play, was a threat to drop back and pass, and even on one occasion snagged an interception. His senior year, he was named co-captain of the team and earned All-America honors. He went on to play for the St. Louis Knights for three years, and made the All-League team as an offensive guard. He also played defensive end. He was inducted into the JSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984, the Etowah County Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1996.

17-10 road win at Tennessee Tech. Junior quarterback Matt Hardin connected on a 17-yard pass to Taurean Rhetta for the JSU win. TTU tied the game at 10-10 with 4:31 left in the fourth after Derek White scored on a six-yard run and Nate Johnson kicked the point after. The Gamecocks took the ensuing kickoff and drove to the TTU 26-yard line and Gavin Hallford attempted a 43-yard field goal into a strong and gusty wind, but his attempt was just short as time expired. JSU went on offense first and Hardin completed a 12-yard pass to Rhetta down to the TTU 13. Clay Green then was hit for a four-yard loss back to the 17 before Hardin connected with Rhetta for the game winning score. The Gamecock defense then answered the call and JSU’s Devin Phillips stopped TTU’s Brent McNeal on fourth down to seal the win. One of the biggest wins in school history came in the season opener of 2010 when the Gamecocks claimed a thrilling 49-48 double-overtime road win at Ole Miss. The Gamecocks rallied from a 21-point halftime deficit and Marques Ivory brought JSU back with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Alan Bonner with 18 seconds left in regulation and a strike to La’Ray Williams for the 2-point conversion forced the Gamecocks into overtime with Ole Miss. In the first OT, Ivory tossed a 7-yard pass to Alan Bonner and James Esco kicked the point after to give JSU a 41-34 lead. The Rebels’ Brandon Bolden scored on a 2-yard run and Bryson Rose kicked the point after to tie the game at 41-41. Ole Miss then took the lead in the second OT after Enrique Davis scored on a 2-yard run and Rose added the point after. JSU then took over and was faced with 4thand-30 in the second overtime before Coty Blanchard connected with Kevyn Cooper in the back of the endzone to cut the Rebels lead to 48-47. Blanchard then scrambled right and was under heavy pressure before dumping off a short pass to Calvin Middleton in the endzone for the 2-point conversion to give the Gamecocks the upset of the 2010 football season. Two weeks after pulling off a thrilling 49-48 double-overtime win at Ole Miss, the Gamecocks scored a 34-27 win over Georgia State in the Georgia Dome to improve to 3-0 on the season. The two teams swapped leads throughout the entire game, with neither team leading by more than a touchdown and with the two teams tied at 27-27 at the end of regulation, JSU had the ball first in OT. Jamal Young had runs of 6 and 14 to give JSU first and goal at the 5-yard line. Alphone Freeney rushed for three yards, before junior quarterback Marques Ivory scored on a twoyard run and James Esco kicked the point after to give the Gamecocks a 34-27 lead. The Red Bandit defense then held the Panthers after GSU had it first and goal from the 8-yard line. After a pair of incomplete passes, the Panthers drove to the JSU two-yard line and was faced with fourth and goal.

1989 and 1991 before winning the schools first football championship in 1992. JSU has an 12-1 record in home playoff games and is 5-12 in road playoff games.

Professional Football The Gamecocks have had numerous players drafted and signed by professional teams in the National Football League, the World Football League, the United State Football League, the Arena Football Leagues and the Canadian Football League. The most prominent have been Dieter Brock, who led the Winnapeg Blue Bombers to the CFL title and earned MVP honors, Keith McKeller, who played in four consecutive superbowls with the Buffalo Bills, Terry Owens, who signed with the San Diego Chargers in 1965 and played offensive line for many, many years and Eric Davis, who earned All-Pro honors as a defensive back with the San Fransico ‘49ers and the Carolina Panthers. He was the first JSU player to earn a Super Bowl ring. Montressa Kirby helped the Hamilton Tiger Cats to the 1999 Grey Cup Championship of the CFL and Delvin Hughley was a member of the Colorado Crush in 2005 that won the AFL Championship. Quarterback Ryan Perrilloux was a member of the defending World Champion New York Giants during the 2011 season.

Quarterback-U Jacksonville State has a long and rich tradition of quarterbacks, including Ed Lett, Montressa Kirby and Ryan Perrilloux. In 2009, Perrilloux earned AllAmerican third-team honors by The Sports Network after being named the Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year. The senior quarterback led the conference in passing efficiency (172.58) and ranked fourth nationally in points responsible for (18.6 points/game). He also set several single-season school records, including touchdowns responsible for (31), total offense per game (279.3) and total offense per play (8.36). He finished his two-year career as Jax State’s career leader in passing yards per game (222.3) and total offense per game (260.9) and had a career passing efficiency of 154.9. The LaPlace, La., native finished the season with 2,350 yards, which was the third best in school history, and won Offensive Player of the Week honors seven times in 2009, which is an OVC record, and he claimed the honor nine times during his two-year career to tie for the most-ever in the league’s 63-year.

Perfect Seasons There has been a total of three in more than 107 years that Jax State has played football. The 1917 squad finished 9-0-1 and allowed just two points the entire season (JSU defeated Alabama Presbyterian, 6-2). The team posted 10 shut-outs, the most in school history. In 1947, the Gamecocks went 9-0, including a 7-0 win over Florida State. JSU was the only undefeated and untied team that season and posted five shutouts. Charley Pell and the Gamecocks finished the 1970 season with a perfect 10-0 record, including a 21-7 win over Florida A&M in the Orange Blossom Classic played in Miami’s Orange Bowl.

Playoffs Jacksonville State has been to 14 NCAA football playoffs (1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2013) and has a 17-13 record in post-season action.

In the history of Jacksonville State football, only two numbers have been retired - No. 33 and No. 66. Boyce Callahan (33), an Anniston native, was a Little All-American. Callahan rewrote the record books in his four years at Jacksonville. He gained 1,293 yards as a freshman, which was the standard for a single season until 2003. He is the all-time career rushing leader with 4,327 yards and has the second-best single-gamer performance after rushing for 275 yards against North Alabama in 1970. Johnny Newman (66), a guard from Hartselle, Ala., died during spring training for the 1969 season. Newman played for the Gamecocks in 1967 and 1968 before his death. The 1969 Media Guide and season was dedicated to his memory.

The Gamecocks have made numerous appearances on regional or national television over the years. Gamecock football games have been telecast nationally by ABC, ESPN and ESPN2, and regionally by Fox SportsNet and Comcast/Charter Sports. The Gamecocks are scheduled to appear locally on WJXS-TV 24 for all home games again this season.

Statistical Champions

This famous slogan is heard around the Jax State campus all year, especially during the Troy State game week. The phrase is credited to former JSU head football coach Charley Pell. The Gamecocks lost the 1969 game 37-6 to the Trojans and following the game, Coach Pell told his players in the dressing room that next season, the Gamecocks would “Whup Troy”. The following year, the Gamecocks did just that, taking the Trojans to the woodshed with a 55-10 JSU win enroute to a perfect 10-0 record and a victory in the Orange Blossom Classic.

GAMECOCKS COACHES ABOUT JSU

Jax State has had five individual NCAA national statistical champions. John Williams led the country in rushing in 1947 after gaining 931 yards on 150 carries. In 1981, punter Gregg Lowery led the nation with a 43.5 punting average on 64 punts. In 1992, All-American Danny Lee finished the season with a 39.4 yard average per kick return on 12 returns. In the 2004 season, All-American Craig Agee led the nation in punt returns as a sophomore, finishing with 18 returns for a 20.5 yard average and two touchdowns. In 2007, junior kicker Gavin Hallford tied the OVC record for field goals in a season (22) and led the NCAA with 2.00 field goals per game.

Jacksonville State University enjoyed one of its finest moments in the school’s athletic history, when the Gamecocks defeated North Dakota State, 31-7, before a capacity crowd in the Grantland Rice Bowl.

Jacksonville State University fought Lehigh University on even terms for three quarters, but the powerful team from Pennsylvania finally wore down the smaller Gamecocks and went on to win 33-0 in the Pioneer Bowl Game in Wichita Falls, Texas. The game, which decided the Division II national championship, was played in sub-zero weather. Jax State also played without its starting quarterback, Bobby Ray Green, the final three quarters as he left with a head injury. Lehigh quarterback Mike Rieker, an All-

American, showed why he made the AllAmerican squad as he passed for two touchdowns and ran for another. He amassed 305 yards of total offense for the day. Lehigh’s defense also played a fine game, forcing six turnovers.

1970 Orange Blossom Classic

Jacksonville State University’s 21-7 victory over Florida A&M in the Orange Blossom Classic in Miami, Fla., will go down in the history as one of the top victories in Gamecock football history. The victory was not an upset. If fact, the Jaxmen were favored. But, the fact it was played before 35,000 fans on television and climaxed a perfect 10-0 season, made the victory especially sweet. As expected, Boyce Callahan was the start of the show. The dazzling freshman won Most Valuable Player honors with a recordsmashing 222 yards in 32 carries. It was not his best effort of the year, because he ran for 275 yards in the homecoming game earlier against North Alabama. Jacksonville State jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first half on a one-yard run in the first quarter, but had to rally in the final period to take the victory. Callahan, after a beautiful 39-yard

But Jacksonville State’s Eric King stepped in front of Pitt State Quarterback Ron Hutchins pass in the end zone, swatted it to the ground to preserve a 17-13 Gamecocks victory before 11,733 fans. The name Jacksonville State will now forever be inscribed as the 1992 Division II National Champion. It’s Jacksonville State’s first title in football, soothing the anguish of the three previous futile visits to the championship game. Next season Pittsburg State, the 1991 champion from Kansas can return, but Jacksonville can not defend. The Gamecocks enter a compliance period on the way to reclassification to Division I-AA. “If its all right with you,” said JacksonvilleState Coach Bill Burgess, “I’m not going to talk about moving up right now. I could care less.” Jacksonville State had spotted the Gorillas a touchdown lead on the opening kickoff off Harlon Hill Trophy winner Ronald Moore raced virtually untouched 99 yards to score. “Our staff had decided not to kick to him,” Burgess said, “but to show how smart I am. I changed my mind just before kickoff.” But that was Moore’s moment of glory. After that he butted heads with Jacksonville’s defense, and was frustrated at every turn. His longest gain was just 12 yards, and he didn’t score a rushing touchdown. The Gorillas‚ other came on a 38-yard Hutchin to Ray Staten pass that gave Pitt a 13-3 lead with 9:14 left in the

second quarter. The Jacksonville State defense wasn’t to be scored on again, however, and the offense did just enough to win. “Our win was a combination of things,” Burgess said. “Our offense made first downs and ran time of the clock to keep their offense off the field. And our defense made the big Plays.” At the end, Jacksonville State had posted 24 first downs, 23 of them rushing and 1 of them on a penalty. Three Jacksonville players, two of them fullbacks, had more yards than Pittsburg’s Moore. Sean Richardson had 106 yards on 23 tries and Terence Bowens had 92 on 20. Quarterback Chuck Robinson added 110 yards on 15 carries and Jacksonville’s offense had 390 yards on the ground to just 156 for Pitt as a team. Jacksonville’s Robinson only threw the ball four times and completed two for 5 yards. His last pass was an interception just before halftime. “Their ability to run the ball inside was the key,” said Pittsburg coach Chuck Broyels, “They just kept the ball away from our offense.” Moore never broke stride on the opening kickoff, and 13 seconds after the game started, Pitt led 6-0. The Gorillas decided to go for two, and that was crucial down the stretch. They missed, soon their final drive, they needed a touchdown, for a field goal wouldn’t good enough for a tie. “We have the option of going for two if we outnumbered them on one side.” Broyels,

ow in its 67th year, the Ohio Valley Conference N continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. I n May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 14 years. T he 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. I n the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to AfricanAmericans. fter Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women’s A athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC began formulating plans for women’s athletics in 1975 and established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The conference added women’s golf and softball in 1994 and women’s soccer in 1998.

T hrough the past 66 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns, which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Among OVC teams, former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with 10, and Murray State and former member Western Kentucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed seven football crowns and Jacksonville State has three, while Morehead State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, Southeast Missouri, UT Martin and former member Youngstown State have one title apiece. urray State and Evansville tied for the initial footM ball championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). T he first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them - Eastern Kentucky and Murray State - were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU was coached by former All-America quarterback Roy Kidd, who was in his 16th year at the helm of his alma mater and who skippered the Colonels to a second national title three years later. Following the 2002 season, Kidd retired after 39 years at EKU; upon retirement, he ranked sixth all-time among Division I coaches with 315 victories, earning him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. EKU’s 20 FCS playoff appearances are the second for the most all-time (behind only Montana and tied with Appalachian State). I n addition to Kidd, other coaching legends in the OVC include Charles “Bubber” Murphy, who coached at Middle Tennessee from 1947-1968, Western Kentucky’s Jimmy Feix (1968-83), Wilburn Tucker (1954-67) and Don Wade (1968-82) of Tennessee Tech, Bill Ferguson (1967-77) of Murray State, Guy Penny (1959-67) of Morehead State and Boots Donnelly (1977-78 at Austin Peay; 1979-1998 at Middle Tennessee). Following the 2011 season Eastern Illinois head coach Bob Spoo retired after 25 years at the school (the last 16 as members of the OVC). In his time as an OVC coach he compiled 92 total victories (fifth-most in league history) and 68 OVC wins (fourth-most in league history) and was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2012.

whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo and Jimmy Garoppolo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique RodgersCromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. T he 2007 season marked a return to scholarship football and the OVC for the Austin Peay Governors. Following the 1996 season the Governors dropped scholarship football and competed as both an independent (1997-00, 2006) and as a member of the Pioneer Football League (2001-05). T he 2007 season also brought new vernacular to the Ohio Valley Conference and the division formerly known as I-AA. Beginning with the 2006 National Championship game the term I-AA was changed to NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in a decision by the Division I Board of Directors. The new label was chosen to communicate in a positive and clear manner the unique differences between Division I football categories (chiefly, the post-season opportunity) while still defining them within the Division I experience. The FCS includes programs that compete in an effort to participate in the NCAA championship postseason structure (one of 89 NCAA national championships) as opposed to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) which competes in an effort to participate in the postseason bowl system (the 35 NCAA-licensed events which includes the Bowl Championship Series). I n 2010 Southeast Missouri State, picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll, compiled a 7-1 Conference record on the way to its first OVC Championship since joining the league in 1991. Overall the Redhawks were 9-2 during the regular season and earned a berth in the FCS Playoffs, its first playoff berth at any level in the program’s 104-year history. Southeast would lose to eventual national champion Eastern Washington in the second round of the playoffs. Head coach Tony Samuel capped the year by winning the Sports Network’s Eddie Robinson Award, given to the National Coach of the Year. Samuel was the second OVC coach to win the award (joining Murray State’s Houston Nutt who won the award in 1995). F or only the second time in league history in 2011, three teams shared the OVC football championship, as Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State and Tennessee Tech finished with 6-2 records. The only other time in league history more than two champions were crowned at the end of the year was 1962 (when four teams shared the crown).

Gosh Almighty! by Doug Segrest, The Birmingham News OXFORD, Miss. -- As Jacksonville State’s players boogied with the marching band, and Ole Miss fans filed out of Vaught-Hem­ mingway Stadium in stunned silence, only one person understood both emotions. Tears began welling in Jack Crowe’s eyes. A flood followed in the locker room. He felt the joy immedi­ately. But the Jacksonville State coach also understood the agony of losing a game that can shake the faithful to the foundation. Jacksonville State’s 49-48, double-time victory against Ole Miss on Saturday is probably the program’s big­gest since moving to Divi­sion I-AA in 1995. That was three years after Crowe learned how low a coach could go. As head man at Arkansas, he lost the 1992 season opener to I-AA The Citadel. By the start of the new week, Crowe was out of a job. “I’m not sure this feels as good,” Crowe said after Sat­urday’s upset, “as that felt bad.” Jacksonville State erased a 31-10 deficit in the second half, turning a blowout into a win for the ages before a crowd of 55,768 fans. While all the pregame at­tention was focused on Ore­gon transfer Jeremiah Maso­­li’s debut at Ole Miss, the game was won on the arm of a lesser known quar­terback playing for Jackson­ville State. Ever heard of Coty Blan­chard? He came from Che­rokee County High, where he was the state’s Mr. Foot­ball a year ago. The true freshman en­tered in the third series, stuck around a good bit af­ter that, and delivered both a fourth-down, 30-yard touchdown pass in the second overtime and the game-winning two-­point conversion toss to Calvin Middleton. The latter was a last-second ad-lib on what was supposed to be a shovel pass. With the NCAA affirming Ole Miss’ lastminute ap­peal to gain Masoli’s eligibil­ity, the Rebels dominated the first half, taking a 31-10 lead.

Both Masoli and starter Nathan Stanley were effec­tive. But the biggest differ­ence was a defensive front that seemed to manhandle Jax State’s patchwork offen­sive line. Crowe challenged his team to play better, or to re­port for a full-pads workout at the very next practice. To be honest, Crowe ad­mitted later, he was just try­ing to get a read on his team. “We hadn’t been a team all fall. We hadn’t looked like a team at a single practice.” Yet it came together in the second half. Ole Miss was trying to add to a 31-13 lead near the end of the third quarter when Masoli overthrew a receiver. JSU’s Keginald Harris pulled in the interception and re­ turned it 24 yards. Blanchard returned with the first-team offense and drove the Gamecocks 59 yards in eight plays, cutting the lead to 11 points. When Ole Miss tried to deliver another knockout haymaker on the ensuing drive, JSU delivered a stop again on a fourth-and-6 from the Gamecocks’ 33-yard line. This time Blanchard di­rected a 67-yard drive, cut­ting the margin to 31-26. Starting quarterback Mar­ques Ivory returned to lead the game-tying drive, hitting Alan Bonner on a 19-yard scoring pass with 18 sec­onds left and a strike to La’Ray Williams for the 2-point conversion. He also directed the first score in overtime. The rotating quarterbacks matched passing yards (126) and touchdowns (2), although Blanchard at­ tempted 10 fewer passes. Ivory will remain the starter for Jacksonville State’s home opener next week against Chattanooga. Blanchard will again go in on the third series. And after that? “Like I tell them all the time: What you do deter­mines what I do,” Crowe said. Needless to say, the Ole Miss

loss sent shockwaves through the stands, on In­ternet message boards and proved just as palpable in the locker room. “This would have to be one of my toughest losses,” said Ole Miss coach Hous­ton Nutt, a Crowe assistant at Arkansas. “You do not want to get started off like this.” Crowe remembers how close Jacksonville State came to beating Florida State a year ago. More im­portant, he’s never forgotten what The Citadel upset meant to his own career. And what it could mean to Nutt down the road. “I don’t think these cir­ cumstances could be re­ peated in 100 years,” Crowe said. “I thought the same thing after The Citadel.”
