After seeing the 2019-20 cut short due the COVID-19 pandemic, the Gamecocks persevered through an unprecedented 2020-21 season and found a new conference home along the way. The JSU football team was the lone sport allowed to compete during the fall semester due to the Ohio Valley Conference’s COVID policies, forcing all 17 sports to compete either in the winter or spring semesters. The Gamecocks did just that and excelled, winning three conference titles and finishing third in the OVC Commissioner’s Cup standings. The run saw the Gamecock volleyball football and women’s golf teams win titles in what was their final seasons in the OVC. The school announced in January that it would be rejoining the ASUN Conference and on the ground floor of the start of ASUN Football. The Gamecocks’ membership in their new conference home began on July 1. The Gamecocks will rejoin the ASUN – the league that was its first Division I conference home - after an 18-year stay in the Ohio Valley Conference that produced some of the most decorated years in JSU’s storied history. The ASUN expansion includes JSU, Eastern Kentucky and Central Arkansas and brings the league’s membership to 12 teams. The ASUN also announced its plans to add FCS football to the league’s list of
6
sponsored sports for the first time in the conference’s 43-year history. The addition of football gives the league something it didn’t have when JSU left to join the OVC in 2003, allowing the Gamecocks to play football in the same conference as its other sports. It will make the ASUN the 15th NCAA Division I conference to sponsor FCS Football. With the addition of Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville State, the ASUN Conference expands its geographic footprint to seven states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia) and now features 12 of the top-80 media markets in the nation and seven of the top-50. The move to the ASUN is one that will allow the Gamecocks a better geographic fit than in the Ohio Valley Conference, where JSU is over 209 miles south of the closest school. JSU’s new conference home features three schools closer than the nearest in the OVC, including Kennesaw State, which is just 85 miles from JSU’s campus. Also in the league is one of the Gamecocks’ oldest rivals in North Alabama, located just 146 miles away in Florence. Jacksonville State, whose previous membership in the ASUN stretched from 1995-2003, is coming off a dominant run in the OVC that saw the Gamecocks win 81 conference championship trophies. They also made over 50 trips to NCA A postseason play, honored hundreds of all-conference players and dozens of All-Americans.

Jacksonville State was the first school in the nation to lay claim to NCAA national titles in football, men’s basketball and baseball at the Division II level or higher. The Gamecocks were the only school to achieve the feat until 2017, when Florida added the Division I Baseball title to its Football and Men’s Basketball titles. JSU and Florida are the only two schools to even play for all three at the Division II level or higher.
During its time in the Ohio Valley Conference from 2003-21, Jacksonville State solidified itself as the preeminent athletic program in the conference. The Gamecocks won 81 OVC Championships, more than any other program in the OVC during that same time period. JSU saw 10 of its 17 programs bring home various OVC titles and combine for 53 trips to NCAA postseason play.

In January of 2021, Jacksonville State announced that it would be rejoining the ASUN Conference – the league that was its first Division I conference home - after an 18-year stay in the Ohio Valley Conference that produced some of the most decorated years in JSU’s storied history. The expansion that included JSU, Eastern Kentucky and Central Arkansas brings the league’s membership to 12 teams and allows it to compete in two six-team divisions that are split based on geography. The Gamecocks officially re-joined the ASUN on July 1, 2021. The move to the ASUN is one that will allow the Gamecocks a better geographic fit than in the Ohio Valley Conference, where JSU was over 209 miles south of the closest school. JSU’s new conference home features three schools closer than the nearest in the OVC, including Kennesaw State, which is just 85 miles from JSU’s campus. Also in the league is one of the Gamecocks’ oldest rivals in North Alabama, located just 146 miles away in Florence. “Giving Jacksonville State a regional presence in the heart of our alumni and fan base, along with the ASUN’s plan to create a new football league were very important factors in us engaging in discussions with the league,” JSU President Dr. Don Killingsworth said. “We look forward to working with the current membership of the ASUN, as well as Eastern Kentucky and Central Arkansas, who are making this move with us today. We know we will all make each other better, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for Jacksonville State in our new conference home.”

The Birth of
FOOTBALL In January of 2021, the ASUN Conference announced it would be adding FCS football to the league’s list of sponsored sports for the first time in the conference’s 43-year history. The addition of football gives the league something it didn’t have when JSU left to join the OVC in 2003, allowing the Gamecocks to play football in the same conference as its other sports. It will make the ASUN the 15th NCAA Division I conference to sponsor FCS Football. The original five members of ASUN Football are Jacksonville State, Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky, Kennesaw State and North Alabama. While the ASUN plans to solidify its Automatic Qualifier status in the FCS for the 2022 season, the league reached announced a one-year football scheduling alliance with the Western Athletic Conference for the 2021 season in February of 2021. Presented as the ASUN-WAC Challenge, the agreement will allow for seven institutions--three ASUN members and four WAC members--to be eligible for an automatic qualification into the 2021 NCAA FCS Playoffs. Jacksonville State will announce its full schedule once the non-conference portion is complete. The alliance will feature Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville State from the ASUN Conference and Abilene Christian, Lamar University, Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin from the WAC. ASUN members Kennesaw State and North Alabama will continue to participate in the Big South Conference for the 2021 season, while WAC members Dixie State and Tarleton will participate in the joint schedule but will not be eligible for the group’s AQ. The seven schools, known as the AQ7, will play a single round-robin, with each institution having three home contests and three road contests. The home team will be responsible for officials, control media rights and game broadcast inventory. The team with the highest winning percentage among AQ7 games shall receive the automatic qualification to the FCS playoffs. In addition, a trophy will be presented to the conference that has the highest winning percentage against the other conference.

Campbell Trophy. One of 13 members of the NFF Scholar-Athlete Team and the first from an OVC institution, Lea received an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship for his work on the field, in the classroom and the community.

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.
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.
Tears began welling in Jack Crowe’s eyes. A flood followed in the locker room.
Crowe challenged his team to play better, or to report for a full-pads workout at the very next practice.
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.
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.”
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.
Yet it came together in the second half.
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 Maso li’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
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 returned 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 fourthand-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 In ternet 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 im portant, 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.”

He handles all the play-by-play duties of Jacksonville State athletics radio broadcasts. During his tenure he has called some of the most historic and memorable games in Jacksonville Sate athletics history.

Former Gamecock football player Ray Hammett rejoined the Jacksonville State radio football broadcast team for the 2021 season after missing the 2020 season. Hammett spent 11 years as color analyst on the Gamecock Football Network from 1992-2002, and served as color analyst on the Gamecock home television broadcasts from 2005-11. He spent the 2012-2019 seasons alongside Parris in the booth.
Ray Hammett
Hammett played linebacker for the Gamecocks from 1974-76, and helped Jax State post 20 wins over three years, including back-to-back seven-win seasons in 1974 and 1975, and the 1974 Gulf South Conference Championship. After graduating from Jax State, Hammett joined the prep ranks as a longtime high school football coach, and served as head coach at Lineville High School, Saks High School and Jacksonville High School. Following his coaching career, Hammett moved into school administration and served as principal before retiring from Jacksonville High School. He has served in many administrative roles in West Georgia since his retirement from the state of Alabama.

The Jacksonville State University Board of Trustees approved the naming of its football facility Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium in the summer of 2010 and the Gamecocks will play their 73rd season there this year.
includes 33 luxury skyboxes, a new press area, coaches booths, radio and television broadcast facilities, and a game management booth. The stadium was also expanded and now includes 24,000 seats.
The football playing facility has been called Paul Snow Stadium since the 1961 season, but now also honors former coach Bill Burgess, who led the Gamecocks to the 1992 NCAA Division II National Championship.
The natural playing surface was replaced during the summer of 2005 with 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. That field was replaced before the 2016 season with another ProGrass surface.
Long ago, in the days when Jacksonville State University went by Jacksonville State Teachers College and the athletic teams were nicknamed the “Eagle Owls,” football was played in a field next to John Forney National Guard Armory. In 1946 as JSU began to change, enrollment began 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. 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. 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. Since opening in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 291105-8 record at home. JSU played its 400th game at Burgess-Snow Field on March 21, 2021, a 21-3 win over Southeast Missouri in the spring OVC schedule that was pushed back due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. JSU Stadium 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
Prior to the 2017 season, the standard definition video board that was installed in 2007 was replaced by a new board that includes a full high definition display that measures 12 feet in height and 80 feet in width. On the Gamecock Field House, a new scoreboard was installed in 2007, making Burgess-Snow Field the only on-campus facility in the OVC to feature two scoreboards. 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. 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 off its second fourth-quarter come-frombehind win of the season, a 21-17 thriller over Chattanooga. 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 as the Gamecocks claimed the win in the renovated stadium. The record for a single-game crowd for a football game at Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium was set in the season opener in 2017 versus Liberty when 23,944 fans witnessed the Gamecocks claim a 37-10 win over the Flames.

“Go Eagle Owls!” would be the resounding cry from Paul Snow Stadium today if ardent fans hadn’t decided 50 years ago that the school mascot should be a bird of a different feather. Jacksonville State University’s first football team was fielded in the late 1800’s and nicknamed in honor of a rare predatory bird found near the Arctic circle. The exact details are lost to history, but a group of fans decided it was hard for the school’s image to soar like an eagle if the team’s name was something of a turkey. People like E.C. Wilson, Bruce Chase and Charles Sprayberry felt a more collegiate-sounding moniker would be more appropriate. The supporters looked to Southern culture rather than the north pole to symbolize the school’s tough spirit. Tongue firmly planted in beak, Gamecock supporters crowed the loudest, and the University found itself with a new identity: a mascot familiar to everyone, including the farm boys who comprised most of the student body back then. For nearly a half-century – up until 1946 – the fledgling Eagle Owls hooted with pride from the scanty facilities adjacent to the field at John Forney National Guard Armory. The State Normal School (SNS) team was sparse by today’s standards, but the gridiron action was competitive from the start. Present day rivalries such as Samford (Howard College) and Troy State were rooted in those early games. The team had only 23 players when SNS was renamed Jacksonville Teachers College in 1946, with Head Coach Don Salls beginning his first season, but there was a “big school” atmosphere developing in the foothills. Along with the new name came new colors. The blue and gold were tossed out in favor of the familiar red and white worn by the area high school players. The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl nickname and those who wanted new colors. Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot. It was all worked out by 1947 when the Fighting Gamecocks took to the field for the first time. And, as is true to the nature of the warlike bird itself, the football team and other athletes fought their way to respectability in intercollegiate ranks - eventually bringing home a national championship in every major sport.

HISTORY
RECORDS
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 before taking the reigns as the head coach for the 2014 season. Since then, he has taken JSU on a run not many have seen before. His 68-21 record over seven seasons is the best start to a tenure in JSU history, while his 23-3 record heading into the 2016 FCS Division I Championship Game tied for the best 26-game start to a career in FCS history. In seven years, he has been named the AFCA’s Region Coach of the Year an FCS-record five times and the Ohio Valley Conference Roy Kidd Coach of the Year three times. He was the AFCA’sNational Coach of the Year in 2015. He was an improbable 47-7 in Ohio Valley Conference play with a conferencerecord five-straight OVC titles from 2014-2018 and a sixth title in 2020. He has had 31 All-Americans and 109 All-OVC performers in his seven seasons as the head coach, while 20 Gamecocks have moved on to opportunities in the NFL in that same span. That first season as a collegiate head coach in 2014 saw him take JSU to a 10-2 record and as high as No. 2 in the national polls, thanks to a perfect 8-0 mark in league play and the Gamecocks’ first outright Ohio Valley Conference title since 2004. Year number two was better, seeing the Gamecocks post a 13-2 record that included their first-ever trip to the FCS National Championship Game in Frisco, Texas. JSU catapulted into the No. 1 spot in the STATS polls, its first No. 1 ranking in school history, after falling in overtime at No. 6 Auburn in week two and would hold that spot until falling to North Dakota State in the title game. The next two seasons each saw him take the Gamecocks to 10-2 records and unbeaten OVC marks en route to their third- and fourth-straight conference titles. Grass is the first coach in league history to go unbeaten in league play in his first two seasons, and has increased that to four entering 2018. That OVC-record fifth-straight league title came in 2018, when he led JSU to the second round of the FCS Playoffs for the sixth time since arriving on campus in 2013.

dition, the first three seasons under Grass’ offensive mind saw the Gamecock offense amass over 6,000 yards of total offense in five of his eight seasons and over 7,000 in 2015. His offense has rewritten the JSU record books and set a new standard for production on that side of the football.
within the OVC. They compiled a 10-2 record and a perfect 8-0 record in OVC play to claim JSU’s fourth OVC title and its first outright since 2004. The Gamecocks entered the FCS playoffs ranked No. 2 in the polls and as the No. 3 national seed before falling in the second round to Sam Houston State.
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. He is now 33-6 as a collegiate head coach in three seasons that each saw him named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year, as well as the Region 3 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association
The Gamecocks capped the year ranked ninth in both polls after the second 6,000-yard season in school history. JSU gained 6,129 yards in just 12 games, a school-record 510.8 yards per game that was more than 68 yards per game more than any team had managed in JSU history.
His 2013 season as JSU’s offensive coordinator 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.
The defensive side of the ball thrived under Grass’ leadership, as well in 2014. Junior Devaunte Sigler was named the OVC’s Defensive Player of the Year, the first Gamecock to earn the honor, and joined cornerback Jermaine Hough and center Max Holcombe on numerous All-America teams, while offensive lineman Justin Lea garnered Freshman All-America honors. James ran for 1,151 yards and scored 14 touchdowns, ending his illustrious career as JSU’s second leading rusher and just one rushing score shy of the school record in that category. James, Sigler, Hough and Holcombe headlined a class of 18 All-OVC mentions at season’s end, the most 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.
His third season with the Gamecocks saw Grass raise the bar even higher. The 13-2 record included a 12-game win streak that was one shy of the school record and also featured over 50 school records. The Gamecocks’ lone losses were to No. 6 Auburn in overtime and to North Dakota State in the FCS title game.
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.
JSU was ranked No. 1 in the polls for the first time in school history and held that ranking for 11 weeks. The Gamecocks went unbeaten again in the OVC to win their second-straight title and was warded the No. 1 national seed in the FCS Playoffs. JSU stood up to that seeding, downing No. 7 Chattanooga in overtime in the second round before routing No. 8 Charleston Southern and No. 7 Sam Houston State in the quarters and semis, respectively.
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. The ground game wasn’t the only thing that guided the Gamecocks in 2013. Despite having to start three different starting quarterbacks because of injuries during the season, Grass’ offense threw for a school record 3,033 yards. Quarterback Eli Jenkins earned Freshman All-America honors after throwing for 887 yards and running for 953 more, while junior Max Shortell threw for 1,608 yards to earn Second Team All-OVC recognition. Freshman receiver Josh Barge was also a Freshman All-American after setting new JSU freshman records for catches (58) and receiving yards (885). He led a corps of 19 different JSU players to catch at least one pass during the season. Year two in Jacksonville and his first year as the team’s head coach saw more the same output on the offensive side of the ball but unprecedented success
The 2015 Gamecocks were as talented as any team JSU has fielded, placing 17 on the All-OVC teams and five on various All-America squads. Jenkins was the OVC Player of the Year and the FCS National Quarterback of the Year, while center Casey Dunn, running back Troymaine Pope, defensive end Chris Landrum and cornerback Jermaine Hough also grabbed All-America nods. Pope ran for a school- and OVC-record 1,788 yards to lead a JSU attack that gained a school-record 7,613 yards. Jenkins was also a 1,000-yard rusher with 1,161 yards and 15 scores, while receiver Josh Barge set new JSU records with 92 catches, 1,145 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 2016 season saw JSU reach the No. 1 spot in the major polls for the second-straight year and enter the FCA Playoffs as the No. 3 National Seed. The Gamecocks went 10-2 and put together their third-straight perfect record in OVC play, making them the first team in league history to go three seasons in a row without a loss or a tie. JSU was unbeaten against FCS foes in the 2016 regular season, and Grass’ defense was a big part of that. The Gamecocks once again boasted the OVC’s best defense and the fourth-best defense in FCS, holding opposing offenses to

less than 275 yards per game. The Gamecocks were also the best in the nation at getting off of the field on third down, limiting foes to a .231 third-down conversion percentage. JSU also ranked third nationally in red zone defense, fifth in rushing defense, seventh in scoring defense, seventh in interceptions, seventh in sacks, eighth in tackles for a loss and 11th in turnover margin. 2017 saw Gamecock football continue along the dominant path it has recently paved in FCS Football. JSU went 10-2 and 8-0 in OVC play and grabbed the No. 3 seed in the playoffs for the second-straight year. It was the third-straight season that JSU has been one of the top three seeds in the postseason. JSU became just the fourth team in OVC history to win four-straight league titles broke the OVC’s record for consecutive conference wins by extending the streak to 32 by season’s end. The defense led the way again, ranking second nationally in total defense, third in rushing defense and sixth in scoring defense. The unit was led by senior defensive end Darius Jackson, who became the first backto-back winner of the OVC Defensive Player of the Year Award in over 25 years and then became JSU’s and the OVC’s first winner of the Buck Buchanan Award for the top defensive player in the FCS. JSU had 16 All-OVC players and seven All-Americans before watching seven players get opportunities in NFL camps following the season. Cornerback Siran Neal became JSU’s first participant in the Reese’s Senior Bowl since 1994 and was drafted in the fifth round by the Buffalo Bills. He was JSU’s first draft pick since 2013 and the highest since Eric Davis went in the second round in 1992. In 2018, the fifth-straight title was built on another dominant offensive attack. Led by First Team All-OVC quarterback Zerrick Cooper and wide receiver targets Josh Pearson and Jamari Hester, the Gamecocks rolled up 6,465 total yards, the third-most ever by a JSU team, as well as a school-record 3,864 passing yards. The Gamecocks also scored 520 points, third-most in school history. Pearson led all Division I players with a school-record 17 touchdown catches, while Hester tied the previous school record with 11 scoring grabs. The JSU defense once again led the nation in third down conversions and turned turnovers into points by leading the nation in defensive touchdowns. The 2019 offense was again one of the nation’s best, racking up an OVC-best 419 yards per game. The Gamecocks led the OVC and ranked 14th nationally in passing with an average of 296 yards per game. The 2020-21 campaign that was split by the COVID-19 Pandemic was perhaps the most challenging of Grass’ career, but he turned it into one of the most successful in the Gamecocks’ Division I history. JSU went 10-3, playing an FCS-high 13 games and claiming the only FCS win over an FBS foe that season with a 19-10 win at Florida International to close the fall portion of the schedule. JSU then went 6-1 in OVC play to close its tenure in the league with its sixth title in Grass’ seven seasons in the OVC. The Gamecocks also earned the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS Playoffs and advanced to the Quarterfinals for the first

Owen Kilgore
Pass Defense Coordinator • Cornerbacks Seventh Season
Owen Kilgore begins his seventh season on the Jacksonville State coaching staff and his eighth with the program. Head coach John Grass promoted him from graduate assistant to full-time status prior to 2015. He will once again serve as cornerbacks coach at JSU in 2021 and will also coordinate the pass defense. In his time at JSU, Kilgore has coached some of the nation’s best cornerbacks and led one of the top pass defenses in all of FCS. His 2020-21 unit saw five different players start at some point due to injuries, but still led the top defense in the FCS and one of the top defenses in the FCS. The Gamecocks held a school-record nine-straight opponents under 100 yards rushing at one point en route to winning their sixth Ohio Valley Conference title in seven years and earning the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS Playoffs. Jacquez Payton started 11 of the team’s 13 games and led the way, earning All-OVC honors. In 2018, the trio of Yul Gowdy, Payton and Malik Feaster saw most of the action at corner and produced for Kilgore’s unit. Gowdy was a freshman All-American and OVC All-Newcomer to lead the unit, one that helped JSU led the nation in defensive touchdowns and rank in the top 20 in interceptions. The Gamecocks rolled to an Ohio Valley Conference-record fifth-straight league title and into the second round of the FCS Playoffs. His 2017 unit was lead by All-American Siran Neal, who was just the fourth Gamecocks ever invited to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl before being drafted in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. It was JSU’s first draft pick since 2013 and its highest since Eric Davis went in the second round in 1992. Kilgore’s cornerbacks corps was a huge part of one of the top defenses in the nation in 2017. The Gamecocks ranked second in the FCS in total defense, third in rushing defense and fifth in pass efficiency defense. They posted a 10-2 record and won their fourth-straight Ohio Valley Conference championship to earn the No. 3 seed in the FCS Playoffs, the fourth-straight season earning at least the No. 3 seed. JSU’s 8-0 record in OVC play was its fourth-straight perfect conference season, extending the longest active conference win streak in all of Division I football to 32 games. The mark is an OVC and JSU record and is the second-longest run in FCS history. Kilgore’s 2016 cornerbacks unit was one of the nation’s best and bolstered a defense that was tops in the Ohio Valley Conference and one of the best in the nation. Led
by All-American Jaylen Hill, the Gamecocks led the OVC and were seventh nationally in interceptions, while also ranking 16th nationally in defensive touchdowns. Joining Hill on the All-OVC Team in 2016 was Reggie Hall, a duo that had two of a record three interception returns for a touchdown in the Gamecocks’ win over Eastern Kentucky. Kilgore’s corners helped a unit that was fourth in the nation in total defense and in the top 25 in passing yards allowed. That team also won its third-straight OVC title and posted JSU’s third-straight unbeaten season in OVC play. The 2015 campaign took Gamecock football to new heights. A 13-2 record included a 12-game win streak that was one shy of the school record and also featured over 50 school records. The Gamecocks’ lone losses were to No. 6 Auburn in overtime and to North Dakota State in the FCS title game. JSU was ranked No. 1 in the polls for the first time in school history and held that ranking for 11 weeks. The Gamecocks went unbeaten again in the OVC to win their second-straight title and was warded the No. 1 national seed in the FCS Playoffs. JSU stood up to that seeding, downing No. 7 Chattanooga in overtime in the second round before routing No. 8 Charleston Southern and No. 7 Sam Houston State in the quarters and semis, respectively. Kilgore had an All-American in his backfield, with cornerback Jermaine Hough claiming multiple All-America accolades, as well as first team all-conference honors. The Gamecocks led the OVC and ranked 12th nationally in total defense (300.3 yards allowed per game), while also leading the OVC in rushing defense (120.9, 16th nationally) and passing defense (179.4, 18th nationally). The Gamecocks were 13th in turnovers gained and third nationally with 20 interceptions. In 2014 as a defensive graduate assistant at JSU, Kilgore coached the cornerback position and put together film review and study throughout the season. He was key in the development of Hough, who was earned First Team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors and was tabbed the Sports Network’s FCS All-American Third Team. Kilgore came to Jacksonville after two years in Knoxville, Tenn., with the University of Tennessee’s football program. His time at UT began as a walk-on to the Volunteers’ club as a defensive back in 2011. He moved from the playing field to an administrative role with the program in 2012 as a student assistant in recruiting. While in that role, he was responsible for finding, uploading and editing high school and junior college game footage for presentation and evaluation by the coaching staff. Kilgore also aided in the organization of UT’s official and unofficial visits by prospects. He organized and developed position coaches’ and coordinators recruiting area. After spending time in off-the-field areas at UT, Kilgore
moved to an on-field spot as a student assistant on the defensive side of the ball. He assisted in weekly opponent film breakdown and putting together a scouting report. He was instrumental in the defensive back drills and meetings and helped coach the scout team wide receivers, tight ends and special teams. Kilgore
still remained active in a recruiting role as he assisted in various recruiting responsibilities and was responsible for the defensive recruiting board. Prior to finishing his education at UT with a degree in recreation and sport management, Kilgore attended Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn., and was a member of the Lions baseball program in 2008-09. Kilgore is a 2008 graduate of Whitwell High School and was a four-year letterwinner as a quarterback and safety. He was a four-time all-region selection at WHS. In the spring of 2017, Kilgore married the former Andrea Spencer.

OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY

Jimmy Ogle will once again coach the Gamecock running backs and serve as the assistant head coach for John Grass in 2021. This season marks the 22nd season for Ogle at JSU and his 21st-straight season coaching the Gamecock running backs. Ogle has established the Gamecock running attack as one of the best in FCS after leading the Ohio Valley Conference in rushing 10 times, including a school-record 300.7 average in 2015 (3rd nationally). The Gamecocks have led the OVC in rushing in five of the last seven years, all of which have seen them in the top 12 in the national rankings. His last seven seasons at JSU have seen unprecedented success for the Gamecocks. They are 68-21 and an improbable 47-7 in Ohio Valley Conference play with a league-record five-straight OVC titles from 2014-18 and a sixth title in 2020. His most recent offense in the 2020-21 season featured seven All-OVC players and two All-Americans on offense in tight end Trae Barry and offensive lineman Tylan Grable. That unit led the OVC in total offense and rushing offense. Two of the top rushers in the FCS were part of Ogle’s running back corps, with All-OVC back Josh Samuel ranking fourth nationally in rushing yards and Uriah West ranking 13th in the nation. The 2020-21 season that was split by the COVID-19 Pandemic saw the Gamecocks win their sixth OVC title in seven years and the ninth with Ogle on the staff. JSU earned the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS playoffs and advanced to the Quarterfinals for the first time since 2015. His 2019 offense was the top offense in the OVC, gaining 419 yards per game, while the JSU passing game led the league and ranked 14th nationally with 296 yards per game. Ogle’s offense was historic in 2018. One of the most prolific attacks in school history rolled up 6,465 total yards, the thirdmost ever by a JSU team, as well as a school-record 3,864 passing yards. The Gamecocks also scored 520 points, third-most in school history. The 2017 season saw Gamecock football continue along the dominant path it has recently paved in FCS Football. JSU reached as high as the No. 2 spot in the major polls for the fourth-straight year and entered the FCA Playoffs as the No. 3 National Seed, the fourth-straight season that JSU has been one of the top three seeds in the postseason. The Gamecocks went 10-2 and put together their fourth-straight perfect record in OVC play. Running back Roc Thomas was named the OVC Offensive Player of the Year and was an All-American in Ogle’s backfield in 2017. The senior ran for 1,065 yards and led the OVC in scoring with 6.5 points per game. His running mate in the backfield, Tramel Terry, earned OVC All-Newcomer honors. JSU was unbeaten against FCS foes in the 2016 regular season, and Ogle’s offense was a big reason for that. The Gamecocks led the OVC and ranked 20th nationally in Total Offense, while

also scoring more than 30 points per game for the fourthstraight season. He used dual-threat quarterback and OVC Male Athlete of the Year Eli Jenkins along with 1st Team All-OVC running back Roc Thomas and 2nd Team All-OVC running back Josh Clemons to amass over 3,000 rushing yards on the season and more than 250 per game. The 2015 campaign took Gamecock football to new heights. A 13-2 record included a 12-game win streak that was one shy of the school record and also featured over 50 school records. The Gamecocks’ lone losses were to No. 6 Auburn in overtime and to North Dakota State in the FCS title game. JSU was ranked No. 1 in the polls for the first time in school history and held that ranking for 11 weeks. The Gamecocks went unbeaten again in the OVC to win their second-straight title and was warded the No. 1 national seed in the FCS Playoffs. JSU stood up to that seeding, downing No. 7 Chattanooga in overtime in the second round before routing No. 8 Charleston Southern and No. 7 Sam Houston State in the quarters and semis, respectively.
The Gamecocks were led by senior running back Troymaine Pope, who broke the school and OVC record for rushing yards in a season with 1,788 to earn First Team All-OVC and All-America Honors. He was named the FCS Running Back of the Year by the College Football Performance Awards and paced a JSU ground game that racked up 4,511 yards, the first 4,000-yard season in school history. The JSU offense as a whole scored a schoolrecord 584 points and led the OVC with 507.5 yards per game with a school-record 7,613 yards, the first 7,000-yard season by a JSU team. In 2014, the Gamecocks amassed 285 yards per game on the ground, 25 more than any other previous team in school history, and ranked fourth in the nation in rushing. Senior DaMarcus James earned All-OVC honors by running for 1,151 yards and 14 touchdowns to head a group of four Gamecocks with at least 630 yards. James finished his career under Ogle with 3,554 yards (second all-time) and a school-record 49 rushing touchdowns. Those numbers helped JSU to its fourth OVC crown after a 10-2 record and a perfect 8-0 mark in league games. In 2013, the Gamecock offense set 42 school records en route to their most successful season in the school’s Division I history. James earned numerous All-American honors after a record-
breaking junior season in 2013. James, a first-team All-OVC selection, rushed for 1,477 yards on 292 carries to become the school’s single-season rushing leader. The junior running back also set the OVC record with 29 rushing touchdowns to finish second in the nation, and he scored a rushing touchdown in the final 12 games of the season to extend his school record. A quick-strike attack that scored 24 times on drives of less than one minute, the Jax State offense amassed 6,637 yards of total offense, 1,755 yards more than any team in school history, finished with a school-record 3,604 rushing yards on 758 carries, 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. His running attack also set an FCS record when James, Troymaine Pope, Miles Jones and Eli Jenkins became the first foursome to all run for 100 yards in the same game vs Jacksonville University. In 2012, three different JSU running backs rushed for 100 or more yards in eight games, while the duo of James (120 yards) and Pope (100 yards) both topped the century mark against Chattanooga. For the year, Jax State averaged 191.5 yards rushing per game and finished second in the conference with 217.8 rushing yards against OVC opponents. Ogle helped Jax State claim the 2011 OVC Championship with an offense that averaged 414.9 yards per game against conference opponents, including 245.0 yards on the ground, and an OVC-best 148.8 pass efficiency rating. In 2010, the Gamecocks posted one of the most successful seasons in the school’s Division I history, finishing with a 9-3 overall record, and was ranked as high as No. 2 during the season. JSU also advanced to the second round of the NCAA playoffs and hosted its first home playoff game in 18 years at the newly renovated Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium, while also claiming one of the bibest wins in school history with a 49-48 doubleovertime thriller at Ole Miss. Five of his players have rushed for more than 1,000 yards in a single season, led by All-American Clay Green’s total of 1,352 in 2006. Rondy Rogers set JSU’s school record with 1,417 yards during the 2001 season, Kory Chapman, who played with the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots, recorded the third best single-season rushing mark with 1,285 yards in 2003 and Oscar Bonds finished with 1,263 rushing yards and a schoolrecord 19 rushing touchdowns in 2004. Washaun Ealey helped the Gamecocks to the school’s 18th Conference Championship after rushing for 1,082 yards to earn first team All-OVC honors in 2011. Ogle played at the University of Tennessee from 1991-94 and then served as a student assistant from 1994-97. He spent the next two years as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Knoxville Central High School, where the team finished as the Class 4A State Runners-up. While at Tennessee, he helped the Vols to wins in the Fiesta, Citrus and Hall of Fame bowls as a long-snapper. In 1994, he worked with the UT quarterbacks, including Heisman Trophy candidate Peyton Manning. Tennessee won the 1994 Gator Bowl over Virginia Tech. The following year, the Vols defeated Ohio State in the Citrus Bowl and then beat Northwestern in the 1996 Citrus Bowl. Tennessee then claimed the 1997 SEC Championship after defeating Auburn and played Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Ogle is married to the former Kaci Smith and the couple has one daughter, Abbie, and one son, Jim.

Kevin Revis
Run Game Coordinator • Offensive Line Sixth Season prolific attacks in school history, one that rolled up 6,465 total yards, the third-most in a season in schoolhistory, as well as a school-record 3,864 passing yards. The Gamecocks also scored 520 points, thirdmost in school history.
Kevin Revis begins his sixth season as the Gamecocks’ offensive line coach and his eighth season with the program. Revis has been a part of what has been unprecedented success by the Gamecocks since John Grass took over in 2014, serving as an offensive graduate assistant that worked specifically with the offensive linemen. In seven years at JSU, he has been involved with a conference-record five Ohio Valley Conference championships and an impressive 68-21 combined record that includes an improbable 47-7 mark in OVC play. His first two seasons saw all five starting offensive linemen earn All-OVC honors in each, while four Gamecocks were named to the All-OVC First Team in each the 2016 and 2017 seasons, a feat that had only happened twice in the OVC’s history that dates back to 1948. His third campaign in 2018 saw four linemen named All-OVC, with three on the first team and one on second team. The 2020-21 season that was split due to the COVID19 Pandemic saw the Gamecocks play an FCS-high 13 games, win their sixth OVC title in seven years and earn the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS Playoffs. Three offensive linemen earned all-OVC after the unprecedented season, led by All-American Tylan Grable, who came to JSU as a tight end and was molded into an All-American tackle by his sophomore campaign. Joining Grable on the All-OVC squads were Cam Hill and Zack Cangelosi. The “War Pigs” blocked for the top offense in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2019, one that gained 419 yards per game. They also helped protect a JSU passing game that led the OVC and ranked 14th nationally with 296 yards per game. At the conclusion of the season, Michael Shaddix was selected to the All-OVC Offensive Line. That 2018 unit saw Tyler Scozzaro, BJ Autry and Darius Anderson earn first-team All-OVC honors, while Hunter Sosebee was a second-team pick. Autry was on every FCS All-America Team and then became just the fifth Gamecock ever selected to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl. He was the first JSU offensive lineman to earn the honor. He would later sign with the Seattle Seahawks. In 2018, Revis’ line paved the way for one of the most
2017 offensive line unit had three All-Americans in Justin Lea, Dylan Cline and Tyler Scozzaro, while B.J. Autry joined the trio on the All-OVC First Team. Darius Anderson was a second-team pick. The two seniors on the line each earned opportunities in the NFL, with Lea being invited to Jets camp and Cline to Cardinals camp.
of 1,000-yard rushers, with Troymaine Pope setting a school and OVC record with 1,788 yards and Eli Jenkins breaking the school rushing record by a quarterback with 1,161 yards. Revis assisted with one of the top front lines in the FCS in his first season as a graduate assistant in 2014, one that paved the way for a rushing game that led the Ohio Valley Conference and ranked fourth nationally with over 285 yards per game en
Lea played his way onto every FCS All-America squad in 2017 while also making history in the classroom. He won the OVC Scholar-Athlete Award and JSU’s Eagle Owl Award, the highest honor a student-athlete can win from both institutions. He was also the first player in JSU and OVC history named to the National Football Foundation’s prestigious National Scholar-Athlete Team and one of 13 finalists from all divisions of football for the William V. Campbell Trophy. That 2017 line also cleared the path for All-American running back Roc Thomas, who was named the OVC Offensive Player of the Year before being signed by the Minnesota Vikings. His first season as the Gamecocks’ offensive line coach in 2016 saw his unit pave the way for the best rushing attack in the OVC and the seventh-best rushing offense in the nation. JSU ran for over 250 yards per game and Revis’ front line received its credit at season’s end. All five of Revis’ starting offensive lineman received All-OVC honors in 2016, with center Casey Dunn grabbing All-America recognition from every outlet. He was joined by Justin Lea and Nick Johnson on the All-OVC First Team, while Dylan Cline and Kyron Samuels grabbed Second Team honors. Revis was integral in the development of one of the best offensive lines in OVC history in 2015, when the Gamecocks had four of the five First Team All-OVC linemen. The foursome of Blake Burks, Adam Wright, Lea and Dunn marked just the third time in league history and the second since 1956 to have four of the five first team offensive linemen on the team. Dunn was an All-American at center for JSU, anchoring a unit that paved the way for a school-record 7,613 yards, the first 7,000-yard season in school history. The JSU front line opened holes for a pair
route to posting a 10-2 record and an 8-0 mark in OVC play to win the school’s fourth OVC title. The JSU offense set a school record with over 510 yards of total offense per game in 2014, thanks in large part to Clark’s offensive line that featured All-American Max Holcombe, OVC Freshman of the Year Justin Lea and All-OVC selection Adam Wright. A native of Dayton, Tenn., Revis prepped at Rhea County High School and was a finalist for Tennessee’s Mr. Football Award after his senior season in 2008. An all-state player and the Region 4-4A Offensive Lineman of the Year, the three-star recruit signed with Tennessee and spent two seasons with the Vols in Knoxville. He transferred to Chattanooga in 2011 and started up front for the Mocs for three seasons. By the time his senior season came to an end in 2013, Revis was a First Team All-SoCon selection and a team captain on UTC’s first SoCon Championship team since 1984. In May of 2018 he married the former Patterson Young and the couple has one daughter, Miller.

Assistant Coach Linebackers Second Season
Greg Stewart, who served as the Gamecocks defensive coordinator from 2000-10, enters his second season in his current stint on John Grass’ staff at Jacksonville State. Stewart came back to the Gamecocks to be Grass’ defensive line coach beginning in the 2021 spring season. He returned to JSU after spending five of the previous 10 years at the FBS level - the last three as South Alabama’s defensive coordinator. He made an immediate impact with the Gamecocks in his return, leading a group of defensive linemen that was the front in one of the top run defenses in the FCS in the spring season of 2021. After Stewart took the reins of the defensive line, the Gamecocks held their next seven opponents under 100 yards rushing, part of a school-record stretch of nine-straight games without allowing 100 yards on the ground. Freshman Lemuel Gordon was an All-Ohio Valley Conference honoree in helping the Gamecocks to their sixth OVC title in seven years and to the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS Playoffs. The latest stint in Stewart’s third at JSU, who gave him his first coaching job in 1989. He was an assistant during JSU’s final seasons at the Division II level and in the beginning of the Gamecocks’ transition to Div. I. He helped JSU to four NCAA Div. II Playoff Appearances and to the National Championship Game twice, with the 1992 team winning the school’s first title. After two seasons at Delta State, Stewart returned to JSU in 2000 and coordinated the JSU defense for 11 seasons. His second tenure saw JSU produce 13 AllAmericans and 34 all-conference players on the defensive side of the ball. He also had six defensive players sign with NFL teams during that 11-year run. He guided the Gamecocks to three FCS Playoff Appearances and the 2010 team earned the program’s highest Div. I ranking to that point, when it spent two weeks ranked No. 2 in both FCS polls. That 2010 season also saw JSU open the season with a 49-48, doubleovertime win at Ole Miss and then resulted in the program’s first at-large bid into the FCS Playoffs. Stewart’s defense was dominant in JSU’s move to the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003. The Gamecocks led the OVC in total defense twice and in rushing defense two
96
other times, winning the conference title in each of their first two seasons in the league. In JSU’s first eight years in the league, Stewart’s defense also led the league in scoring defense, pass defense, pass efficiency defense, red zone defense and third- and fourth-down conversion defense multiple times. Stewart’s second run at JSU ended in 2011, when he accepted the defensive coordinator position at Louisiana. He orchestrated the Ragin’ Cajuns defense for two seasons, leading them to a pair of nine-win seasons and back-to-back wins in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. He then went to Central Arkansas, where he was the Bears’ defensive coordinator for four seasons. He helped UCA to a combined 33-15 record that included a 24-3 record in Southland Conference play in his final three seasons. Stewart led the Bears to the 2017 SLC Championship and two berths in the FCS Playoffs. In his final season at UCA, he had three players earn AllAmerica honors and eight receive All-SLC accolades. From UCA, Stewart made the move to South Alabama
in 2018, when he followed head coach Steve Campbell in the move from UCA. He spent three seasons as the Jaguars’ defensive coordinator. In his first year running the Jaguar defense, the unit featured five individuals ranked among the top 10 in the Sun Belt Conference statistical rankings along with five players who earned all-league recognition at the end of the season. His second season saw three more All-SBC selections from a defense that finished in the top half of the Sun Belt in five different categories. Stewart also worked at Delta State from 1998-99, serving as defensive coordinator as the Statesmen went 14-7 over that stretch including qualifying for the NCAA Division II playoffs his first season with the program after winning the Gulf South Conference title. He is a native of Hartselle, Ala., and a 1988 graduate of Troy State, where he earned his bachelor’s in sociology and history. He earned four letters as a defensive lineman at Troy, where he was a part of national championship teams in both 1984 and 1987. He helped the Trojans go 40-8-1 overall and 29-3 in Gulf South action.

J.R. Sandlin
Sr. Executive Head Coach Recruiting Coordinator • Tight Ends Eighth Season
J.R. Sandlin enters his eighth year on John Grass’ staff and will once again coach tight ends and lead the Gamecock recruiting efforts. His first seven seasons at JSU have seen unprecedented success for the Gamecocks. They are 68-21 and an improbable 47-7 in Ohio Valley Conference play. JSU won an OVC-record five-straight OVC titles from 201418 and then won a sixth title in seven years in 2020. The 2020-21 season saw another succesful one from the tight end position, led by senior Trae Barry. The AllAmerican by multiple outlets was also named the top tight end in the nation by the FCS Athletics Director’s Association. He was the leading receiver for JSU that season, one that saw the Gamecocks earn the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS Playoffs and advance to the Quarterfinals for the first time since 2015. In 2019, The Gamecocks tight ends were a big part of the top offense in the Ohio Valley Conference, one that gained 419 yards per game, while also leading the OVC and ranking 14th nationally in passing with 296 yards per game. The 2018 chapter in JSU’s historic run saw as dominant a tight end duo as anyone in the nation. Barry was a First-Team All-OVC pick and a Sophomore All-American from HERO Sports after hauling in 32 passes for 503 yards and a touchdown. Position-mate Landon Rice was also a force, serving as one of the team’s top blockers and also caught 18 passes for 224 yards and a score. The 2017 season saw Gamecock football reach as high as the No. 2 spot in the major polls for the fourthstraight year and enter the FCA Playoffs as the No. 3 National Seed, the fourth-straight season that JSU has been one of the top three seeds in the postseason. The Gamecocks went 10-2 and put together their fourthstraight perfect record in OVC play. Sandlin’s Tight Ends unit was the youngest in FCS with three freshmen taking almost every snap at the position while also earning recognition on the national level. The true freshman duo of Dakota Chapman and Trae Barry handled the load at the position and produced. Chapman started every game as a blocking back, while Barry earned Second-Team All-OVC and Freshman All-America honors after hauling in three touchdown catches and over 243 receiving yards. JSU was unbeaten against FCS foes in the 2016 regular season, and Sandlin’s tight ends helped an offense that led the OVC and ranked 20th nationally in Total Offense. The unit blocked for the top rushing attack in
the OVC and the seventhbest rushing offense in the nation, while also helping that same offense score more than 30 points per game for the fourth-straight season. The 2015 campaign took Gamecock football to new heights. A 13-2 record included a 12-game win streak that was one shy of the school record and also featured over 50 school records. The Gamecocks’ lone losses were to No. 6 Auburn in overtime and to North Dakota State in the FCS title game. JSU was ranked No. 1 in the polls for the first time in school history and held that ranking for 11 weeks. The Gamecocks went unbeaten again in the OVC to win their second-straight title and was warded the No. 1 national seed in the FCS Playoffs. JSU stood up to that seeding, downing No. 7 Chattanooga in overtime in the second round before routing No. 8 Charleston Southern and No. 7 Sam Houston State in the quarters and semis, respectively. Sandlin and his tight end corps played a huge part in the most prolific offense in school history in that 2015 season, from hauling in passes to blocking for a recordbreaking running game. JSU notched a school-best 3,102 receiving yards during the year, while also rushing for a school-record 4,511 yards. Sandlin guided the JSU tight ends unit on a recordbreaking offense in 2014, one that amassed a schoolrecord 510.8 yards per game that was more than 68 yards per game more than any other offense in school history. Sandlin’s corps was led by All-Ohio Valley Conference pick Bo Brummel, who caught four touchdown passes to help the Gamecocks to a 10-2 record and a perfect 8-0 record in OVC play for the school’s fourth OVC crown. Sandlin spent the 2013 season as the recruiting analyst at Notre Dame, where he helped coordinate all of the recruiting efforts, handled special projects and assisted in the social media strategies and execution for the Fighting Irish football program.
Sandlin joined the Notre Dame staff after serving as the director of recruiting at the University of Tennessee, and he was also on the recruiting staff at the University of Alabama. During his three years at the University of Alabama, the Crimson Tide captured back-to-back FBS National Championships in 2011 and 2012. Alabama also secured the top-ranked recruiting classes in the nation in both 2011 and 2012. He was responsible for the dayto-day operations of the recruiting department for the Crimson Tide. Sandlin spent the 2009 season as tight ends coach, chief football administrator and director of player personnel at Oxford High School under current JSU head coach John Grass. Sandlin served as recruiting specialist at UCF in 200809. Prior to his stint at UCF, he was offensive coordinator, wide receivers coach, director of player personnel and executive football administrator at American Christian Academy from 2007-08. Sandlin was a scholarship tight end at University of Central Florida from 2005-07, where he helped the Golden Knights win the 2005 Conference USA Football Championship. Sandlin graduated from UCF in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in sports and fitness, and earned a master’s degree in sport management from the University of Alabama in 2012.

Associate Head Coach • Defensive Coordinator Safeties • Fourth Season
Kelvin Sigler is entering his fourth season on the Gamecocks’ staff as John Grass’ associate head coach and safeties coach. It will be his third season as the team’s defensive coordinator. When Sigler joined the JSU staff in the spring of 2018, he brought years of experience from multiple levels with him and that has carried over into a successful tenure with the Gamecocks. His first season in 2018 was an impressive one, with both of his starting safeties grabbing All-Ohio Valley Conference honors and the Gamecocks winning an OVC-record fifth-straight conference title. Marlon Bridges was once again a First-Team All-OVC pick and an All-American, while fellow teammate Traco Williams earned his first All-OVC selection. Sigler’s unit helped JSU lead the nation in defensive touchdowns and rank in the top 20 in interceptions. Sigler came from South Alabama, where he spent two seasons as the Jaguars’ cornerbacks coach after a three-year stint at Northern Illinois. In his second season, Bridges again earned All-America honors, while safety Traco Williams, linebacker Zack Woodard and defensive end DJ Coleman joined Bridges on the All-OVC defense. His third season with the Gamecocks, his defense led the OVC in Total Defense and Rushing Defense and was a driving force in JSU winning its sixth OVC title in seven years and earning the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS Playoffs. The Gamecocks held a school-record nine-straight opponents under 100 yards rushing at one point during the season. His safeties were a big part of that success, led by Consensus First Team AllAmerican Nicario Harper, who was named the OVC’s Defensive Player of the Year and was selected the top defensive back in the nation by the FCS Athletics Directors Association. In his first season at USA, Sigler led a Jaguar defense that not only ranked in the top 10 in the nation in pass defense but among the top five schools in the country in most improved scoring defense. His second season in 2017 saw the Jaguars rank 13th in red zone defense. In his three seasons at NIU, Sigler worked with cornerbacks as NIU posted a 31-11 (73.8%) overall record and a 21-3 (87.5%) mark in the Mid-American Conference, earned three consecutive postseason bowl berths and claimed the 2014 league championship. Prior to NIU, Sigler was on the 2012 defensive staff at Alabama, where he helped the Crimson Tide to a 13-1 record and a 42-14 win over Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship Game. He went to Alabama after serving four seasons as the head coach at Blount High School in Prichard, Ala., where he led the Leopards to four-straight playoff appearances and the school’s first 10-win season since 1998 in 2011. He also served as a
98
high school coach at Bob Jones and Greensboro High Schools. Sigler lettered for four years at Alabama from 1995-98, helping the program to a 10-3 mark as a sophomore; the Tide played in the Southeastern Conference championship game that fall before going on to beat Michigan in the Outback Bowl. He was also part of a squad that played in a bowl game his senior season, while Alabama went 8-3 his first year at the collegiate level. During his career, Sigler intercepted six passes, led the team in tackles as a junior and was one of five permanent team captains his senior year. Sigler and his wife Gemini have three daughters, Aubre, Kelsie and Kailyn and two sons, Yessman and Kelvin Jr. Yessman is a defensive back for the Gamecocks.

Maxwell Thurmond
Special Teams Coordinator • Outside Linebackers Second Season
A familiar face to Gamecock fans, Maxwell Thurmond returned to the sidelines at Jacksonville State in 2020 to coach the outside linebackers and special teams units.
He served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2018 at Central Arkansas as the Bears went 6-5.
Thurmond is a former JSU football student-athlete and spent more than a decade as an assistant coach at his alma mater from 2001-2012, and his return was a very successful one in the 2020-21 season.
He spent two years at West Alabama in 2014-15, prior to heading to Austin Peay. He oversaw linebackers and special teams at West Alabama, where he coached current Kansas City Chief Tyreek Hill. Before going to UWA, he was an assistant coach at Reinhardt University in 2013.
Thurmond’s outside linebackers unit helped lead a Gamecock defense that was one of the top run defenses in the nation and in Gamecock history. All-American and First Team All-OVC selection DJ Coleman, Freshman All-American Jaylen Swain and All-OVC performer Umstead Sanders paced a defense that held a school-record nine-straight opponents under 100 yards rushing. The Gamecocks led the OVC in total defense, rushing defense, third-down defense and sacks en route to their sixth OVC title in seven years and the No. 4 National Seed in the FCS Playoffs. In Thurmond’s first season taking over the JSU special teams in the 2020-21 season, the Gamecocks enjoyed one of the OVC’s greatest turnarounds in that phase of the game. Freshman Michael Pettway was a First Team All-OVC selection as a kickoff returner, while freshman kicker Alen Karajic led the league in touchbacks, while also ranking third in the OVC in scoring among kickers. In his stop before coming home to JSU, Thurmond served as special teams coordinator and linebackers coach for head coach Will Healy at Charlotte in 2019. In his season with the 49ers, UNCC set school records for wins (7), Conference USA wins (5), and winning streak (5) and advanced to the program’s first bowl game. Thurmond was linebackers coach and special teams coordinator for Healy at Austin Peay in 2016-17. He inherited a team that went 0-11 the season prior. After a winless 2016 season, Thurmond helped the Govs snap their 29-game losing streak – the longest losing streak in NCAA football at the time – and go an outstanding 8-4 in just his season.
Thurmond was an assistant coach for 11 years at Jacksonville State, working with outside linebackers, defensive backs, cornerbacks, wide receivers and special teams. He was part of three Ohio Valley Conference championships and advanced to the playoffs in 2003, 2004 and 2010. He helped Jax State claim the 2011 Ohio Valley Conference Championship with an offense that averaged 414.9 yards per game against conference opponents, including 245.0 yards on the ground, and an OVC-best 148.8 pass efficiency rating. Thurmond’s special teams units ranked near the top in the OVC as the Gamecocks led the OVC in field goals (9-of-10) and were ranked third in kickoff coverage with a 41.5 net average. He began his Gamecock coaching stint on defense, where he spent seven years with the outside linebackers and two years coaching cornerbacks, and help establish the Gamecocks as one of the most dominating defenses in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Gamecocks joined the OVC in 2003 and immediately led the league in rushing defense for the first two seasons, ranking 10th nationally in 2004 and 23rd nationally in 2003. JSU led the league in turnover margin for three-straight years and finished ninth in the country in 2003, eighth in 2004 and seventh during the 2005 season. In 2008, JSU led the OVC in scoring defense for
the third straight year, allowing just 21.7 points per game. In 2007, the Gamecocks led the league in total defense (354.3 yards per game), rushing defense (145.5 yards per game) and scoring defense after allowing only 23.4 points per contest. JSU led the OVC in scoring defense for the third straight year in 2009, allowing just 17.09 points per game. The Gamecocks also led the OVC in total defense (304.82), pass defense (154.91) and pass efficiency defense (103.99). In 2010, the Gamecocks posted one of the most successful seasons in the school’s Division I history, finishing with a 9-3 overall record, and was ranked as high as No. 2 during the season. JSU also advanced to the second round of the NCAA playoffs and hosted its first home playoff game in 18 years at Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium, while also claiming one of the biggest wins in school history with a 49-48 double-overtime thriller at Ole Miss. Thurmond, a former cornerback for the Gamecocks (1996-2000), recorded 63 tackles throughout his career. As a senior, Thurmond recorded 23 tackles and had an interception return for 40 yards to help the Gamecocks defeat Nicholls State. Thurmond hold a degree in Exercise Science. A native of Sylvester, Ga. where he attended Worth County High, Thurmond and his wife, Gresha have two children: Maxwell Jr. and Asha.

Cody Wells
Pass Game Coordinator • Wide Receivers Fifth Season
Cody Wells enters his fifth season on John Grass’ staff after returning in 2016 to take over as the quarterbacks coach. The 2020 season will be his second leading the JSU wide receivers.
starting quarterback Bryant Horn. The junior moved to the position from the defensive side and, under Wells’ leadership, grabbed First Team All-OVC honors in his first year as a starting quarterback.
Wells rejoined Grass and the Gamecocks after one season as the quarterbacks coach at his alma mater of Louisiana at Monroe in 2015. He was a graduate assistant at JSU in 2014, when the Gamecocks rolled to the Ohio Valley Conference title with a perfect 8-0 mark in league play.
His first season in charge of the JSU signal callers in 2016 was nothing short of spectacular. He oversaw a unit that featured three-time First Team All-OVC quarterback Eli Jenkins, who was also named the OVC’s Offensive Player of the Year and the OVC’s Male Athlete of the Year in both his junior and senior seasons.
In three years over the JSU quarterbacks, Wells has had the First Team All-OVC selection in each after Eli Jenkins claimed the honor in 2016, Bryant Horn in 2017 and Zerrick Cooper in 2018. He has played a large role in helping JSU claim three OVC titles and just six OVC losses in four seasons, extending the Gamecocks’ streak of conference titles to an OVCrecord five from 2014-18. The 2019 season was his first as the Gamecocks’ wide receivers coach and one that saw plenty of production from his unit. Josh Pearson earned his second-straight All-America honors after hauling in 59 catches for 943 yards, the fifth-most in a season in school history. He wrapped up an historic career that resulted in a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wells’ third season, 2018, was an historic one for the Gamecock quarterbacks unit. Cooper was a Sophomore All-American and had the best passing season in school history. He set new school records with 3,416 yards, 32 touchdown passes and 251 completions. His 290.9 yards of total offense per game were also a new school record. He ranked third nationally in touchdown passes and fourth in passing yards in 2018, while also finishing among the national leaders in passing efficiency (13th– 147.6) and total offense (15th– 290.9). With just one season under his belt at JSU, he already ranked seventh in school history in career touchdown passes and 10thin career passing yards. The 2017 season saw JSU post a 10-2 record and an 8-0 mark in league play. The Gamecocks led the OVC in scoring offense behind the leadership of first-year
Jenkins was a dual-threat quarterback that ran for 1,127 yards and 13 scores, while passing for 2,107 yards and 11 more touchdowns. Thanks to the production at the quarterback position, the Gamecocks led the OVC and was seventh nationally in rushing offense and once against posted one of the top offenses in the nation. Wells returned to JSU after spending the 2015 campaign as quarterbacks coach of the Warhawks. He led freshman quarterback Garrett Smith to a 2,000yard passing campaign that also saw him complete over 57 percent of his passes for 17 touchdowns before suffering a late season injury. Wells knows success in the passing game and helped the Gamecocks to then-unprecedented success during his one season in 2014. In that season, he assisted with the wide receiver unit, one that helped the Gamecocks roll up a school-record 510.8 yards per game. Those numbers were instrumental in the Gamecocks going 10-2, including that perfect OVC record and the school’s fourth OVC title. Then-sophomore Josh Barge caught 56 passes for 919 yards and four touchdowns in that 2014 season. He was an All-OVC pick and led a group of 15 players that caught at least one pass during the season and seven players that caught at least one touchdown. Wells began his coaching career in 2013 as an offensive graduate assistant at ULM. That season, he assisted with quarterback Kolton Browning, who threw for 2,179 yards and 21 touchdowns before
wrapping up his career with a school-record 81 passing touchdowns and over 10,000 yards. Browning was later invited to the Dallas Cowboys training camp. Prior to his coaching career, Wells appeared in 47 games during his four seasons with the Warhawks. He finished that career with 1,897 passing yards and 13 touchdown passes, while tallying a 118.8 pass efficiency rating. As a senior, he started at Arkansas State and finished the game 37-of-53 for 357 yards and two touchdowns. During that final season, he completed 64.1 percent of his passes. Wells was named to the Sun Belt Conference’s Academic Honor Roll each season at ULM. He was also named the recipient of both the ULM President’s Award and the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl Scholar-Athlete Award in 2012. In July of 2017, Wells married the former Allie McComas of Monroe, La.

The turf serves as a warm-up area prior to workout sessions while doubling as a space for super sets during lifts. The turf is rated to withstand heavy drills such as sled pulls and tire flips. Also, JSU is putting the finishing touches on an additional 5,000 square foot room located adjacent to the main workout area, formally the home of the University Recreation Fitness Center, into a rehabilitation and recovery center for injured student-athletes that require individual training. Both facilities will combine to provide more than 17,000 square feet of training space for Gamecock athletes. The athletic performance facility previously presided inside Kennamer Hall. Total floor space of the former weight room was 5,000 square feet with 10 racks and a two-speaker sound system.

In addition to the football training room at Burgess-Snow Field, Gamecock student-athletes enjoy a spacious training room at Pete Mathews Coliseum. The PMC Training Room features six training tables, four taping tables, two whirlpools and ice, along with stationary bikes and treadmills. The training room is open to all JSU studentathletes and is home to the training staff’s offices.
The football team’s main training room is located inside Gamecock Field House. Following a remodel of the facility, the team’s training room doubled in square footage and houses state-of-the-art features. Under the direction of six full-time certified athletic trainers, three certified assistant athletic trainers and numerous student trainers, the staff oversees all the medical needs for all 17 Gamecock teams. In the summer of 2016, Jacksonville State and Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center announced a partnership that made the Birmingham-based practice JSU’s primary provider for orthopedic care.
ATI PHYSICAL THERAPY ROOM Opened in fall 2018, Jacksonville State’s physical therapy room is located inside Pete Mathews Coliseum, just steps away from the PMC Training Room. Operated by ATI Physical Therapy, the facility is available to all student-athletes recovering from injuries and surgeries.

GREG SEITZ ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Greg Seitz was named Director of Athletics at Jacksonville State on February 26, 2016 after more than two decades of service to the University.
COACHES ABOUT JSU OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY
I
Seitz, who is in his 29th year in the athletic department at JSU, served as interim Athletic Director for 14 months, marking his third term as the interim Athletic Director for the Gamecock athletic department. In Seitz’s six-plus years at the helm, the Gamecocks have seen unprecedented success on the field and in the classroom. The 201516 season saw JSU’s highest ever finish in the men’s Capital One Cup at No. 18, ranking the Gamecocks in the top 20 athletic departments among 347 NCAA Division I athletic programs. The 2016-17 season also saw JSU finish in the top 40 at No. 39, tied with Louisville, Harvard and South Carolina and 35 spots ahead of the next Ohio Valley Conference program. Seitz was instrumental in the Gamecocks’ move from the OVC to the ASUN Conference in 2021, a move that brought JSU back to its first Division I conference home, and the inception of ASUN Football, which debuts in the 2021-2022 academic year. The move came after the Gamecocks dominated the OVC in a tenure that saw them win 81 conference titles – nine in football - and make over 50 trips to NCAA Postseason play. The 2015 football season saw the football team post it’s first-ever No. 1 ranking in school history, and earn the No. 1 National seed in the FCS Playoffs before advancing to JSU’s first Division I National Championship Game appearance. The Gamecocks set more than 50 school records and ranked in the top three in attendance at the FCS level after hosting three-straight home playoff games. The Gamecocks won a JSU- and Ohio Valley Conference-record five consecutive league titles and won a league-record 36-straight OVC games from 2014 to 2018, the second-longest conference win streak in FCS history. The Gamecocks were the only Division I program to win its conference title outright during those five seasons. They would win again in 2020 to give them their ninth OVC title and sixth in a sevenyear span. In the classroom, the Gamecock student-athletes posted a record 3.31 GPA for the 2019-20
108
J A C K S O N V I L L E
academic year, the highest cumulative GPA in school history. The Spring 2020 semester guided the year to its record-breaking mark with an impressive 3.47 GPA for the term. JSU followed that up with an impressive 3.256 GPA in 202021, the ninth-straight year the student-athletes achieved at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA. In fact, the past four years under Seitz’s leadership have resulted in the four highest cumulative GPAs in program history. Seitz has been with JSU since 1993, when he began working as assistant sports information director. In 1999, he became Sports Information Director and was promoted to Associate Athletic Director in 2002, before being promoted to Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2011. During his term as interim and Athletic Director, Seitz has been instrumental in many of the facility upgrades at Jacksonville State, including renovations at Rudy Abbott Field at Jim Case Stadium, Pete Mathews Coliseum, the Athletic Sports Performance Center and the recently approved football facility that will include a new dressing room, player’s lounge, training room, hydro-therapy recovery, meeting rooms, coaches offices, equipment and laundry area, theatre-style team meeting space and a game day recruiting area. Seitz was also involved in the softball stadium and dressing room expansion. In the summer of 2016, Seitz unveiled plans for a $7.5 million renovation to JSU’s Baseball Stadium, Rudy Abbott Field at Jim Case Stadium. The project was completed in time for the 2019 season and includes a 1,000-seat spectator grand stand with a shade canopy, an elevated,
S T A T E
G A M E C O C K S
shaded entertainment or hospitality deck and service amenities, a new state-of-the-art press box and a game operations center. The summer of 2017 saw Seitz and the Board of Trustees release their plan to install new state-ofthe-art high definition video boards in BurgessSnow Field, Rudy Abbott Field and University Field, while also placing new scoreboards at the JSU Soccer Field and the JSU Tennis Courts. That project went one step further in 2019, when a pair of video boards were installed in Pete Mathews Coliseum. Also in 2017, Seitz announced an extension of a 14-year partnership between JSU Athletics and Adidas, securing the Portland, Ore., based company as the Gamecocks’ official athletic apparel and footwear brand through the 2021-22 season. Seitz has served on the NCAA Men’s Final Four Media Coordinator team for the last 10 years and also serves on the administrative team for the NCAA Division I College World Series. He is currently a member of the NCAA Championships Financial Working Group that was formed in 2019. He was named to the NCAA FCS Football Committee in 2016 and served as the chair of that committee in 2019. In addition, he served as a member of the NCAA Football Oversight Committee in 2019-20 and is as a site representative for the NCAA during the Division I Baseball Regionals and Super Regionals. He has worked numerous NCAA Championships and Alabama High School Athletic Association events over the last 28 years. In 2002, he became the first SID elected as President of the Alabama Sports Writers Association and currently serves as the organization’s secretary and treasurer.

Jacksonville State’s defense produced the first points when Florida State starting quarterback Tate Rodemaker threw a pick-six to safety Kolbi Fuqua, who rambled 13 yards to the end zone. Placekicker Alen Karajic’s extra point made it 7-0 with 10:54 left in the first quarter. The lead became 14-0 when the Gamecocks drove 69 yards in six plays midway through the first.

OCTOBER 10, 2020 - JACKSONVILLE, AL
Cooper directed another six-play touchdown drive as Jacksonville State went ahead 21-7 midway through the second quarter. He kept the drive alive with a brilliant 41-yard completion to Logan McVay, who caught the pass while falling backward with two FSU defenders on him. Cooper’s 2-yard TD run and another
JACKSONVILLE – Neither the remnants of Hurricane Delta nor a 100-yard Mercer kickoff return to begin the game could spoil Jacksonville State’s only appearance at Burgess-Snow Field during this abbreviated fall season.
Karajic extra point gave the Gamecocks a 14-point lead with 4:30 remaining before halftime. Karajic kicked a 21-yard field goal to put Jacksonville State in front 24-21 with 9:57 left in the third quarter. Jordan Travis, who replaced Rodemaker in the first quarter, turned out to be the difference in leading the Seminoles back from two 14-point deficits. He passed for 210 yards and one touchdown while running 12 times for 39 yards, including a 1-yard TD run just before halftime.
Zerrick Cooper rushed for two touchdowns and the defense forced two key fourth-quarter turnovers as the Gamecocks (1-1) overcame inclement weather to defeat Mercer 34-28 in the first matchup between the programs. Jacksonville State has now won 15 consecutive home openers.
Florida State outgained the Gamecocks 531-307. The Seminoles had 358 yards after halftime.
Safety Nicario Harper returned a Bears’ fumble 64 yards for a touchdown with 5:03 remaining for what proved to be the decisive points. Kolbi Fuqua hit Mercer’s Andrew May after a completed pass and knocked the ball loose, with Harper, a transfer from Southern Miss, scooping it up and running untouched down the sideline to give Jacksonville State a 34-21 lead.
Former Alabama Mr. Football La’Damian Webb from Beauregard scored twice and had 55 yards on 10 carries for Florida State.
Mercer (0-1) made it interesting by driving 74 yards for a touchdown to cut the deficit to 34-28 with 51 seconds left. The Bears then attempted an onside kick, which JSU’s Logan McVay fell on to preserve the win.
Nicario Harper and Darius Joiner led Jacksonville State defensively with eight tackles each.

The Bears extended their lead to 14-3 midway through the first quarter with a 13-play drive capped off by Tyray Devezin’s 3-yard TD run. The Gamecock offense responded by scoring 24 points in the second quarter, their most in a quarter since the 2015 FCS semifinals against Sam Houston State. Alen Karajic kicked his second field goal, this time from 43 yards after making a 38-yard kick earlier, on the first snap of the quarter to cut Mercer’s lead to 14-6. Pat Jackson’s first career touchdown run and Karajic’s extra point made it 14-13 with 8:27 left before halftime. Jackson ended the game as JSU’s leading rusher with 62 yards on 11 carries. Cooper had touchdown runs of one and nine yards in a span of 63 seconds as Jacksonville State built a 27-14 halftime lead. His second touchdown was set up when Markail Benton recovered a fumble at the Bears 27 and Jacksonville State needed just four plays to find the end zone. Trae Barry caught four passes for 84 yards and moved past Butch Barker into second place in the record book for most career receiving yards by a JSU tight end. Darius Joiner had a career-best 12 tackles to lead the defensive effort that limited Mercer to 287 yards. Fuqua contributed 10 tackles in addition to forcing a fumble.

FLORENCE, Ala. – Braly Stadium, the University of North Alabama’s football home, has been the scene of many memorable Jacksonville State victories, most famously the Gamecocks’ 1992 NCAA Division II national championship. Playing without head coach John Grass, who watched from his home after testing positive for COVID-19 two days earlier, Jacksonville State overcame a halftime deficit to defeat UNA 24-17 before a socially distanced crowd of 4,632 Saturday afternoon.

Zerrick Cooper ran for two scores and tied the school record with his 61st career touchdown pass as the Gamecocks (2-1) beat their longtime rival for the fourth straight time. Senior tight end Trae Barry caught five passes for 104 yards – his fourth career 100-yard receiving effort – and Cooper accounted for 290 scrimmage yards in the 48th meeting between the schools.
SIDE JUDGE: Richard Wilborn;
The outcome was not decided until safety Nicario Harper intercepted a desperation UNA heave at the JSU one-yard line on the game’s final play.
JACKSONVILLE STATE - 19 FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL – 10
Cooper had a pair of one-yard touchdown runs in the third quarter as the Gamecocks rallied from a 10-7 halftime deficit. Both of his TD runs finished off lengthy JSU drives – a 14-play, 80-yard march at the 5:24 mark and a five-play, 82-yard drive on the final play of the quarter to put the Gamecocks ahead for good. Cooper now has five rushing touchdowns in three games and 17 for his career. He ran nine times vs. the Lions (0-2) for a season-high 46 yards. Alen Karajic remained perfect on the season with a 36-yard field goal that extended UNA’s advantage to 24-17 with 10:23 remaining. UNA took the opening kickoff and strung together a 19-play drive that consumed almost 10 minutes. The Lions, however, were forced to settle for a 19-yard Sam Contorno field goal and a 3-0 lead. Jacksonville State finally responded midway through the second quarter as Cooper tossed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Quan Charleston. Karajic’s extra point made it 7-3 at the 5:39 mark. Cooper’s 61st career TD pass ties Ed Lett (1979-82) atop the school record book. He completed 15-of-25 passes for a season-high 244 yards Saturday afternoon. The Lions regained the lead when Parker Driggers scored on a one-yard run with 19 seconds to go before halftime. UNA controlled the football for 22:26 to Jacksonville State’s 7:34 in the first half. The Gamecocks’ defense limited UNA to 63 yards on 30 attempts and 276 yards total. The Lions had only one play of more than 20 yards. D.J. Coleman had a game-high nine tackles and Harper was credited with seven stops in addition to his game-clinching interception as time expired.

OCTOBER 23, 2020 – MIAMI, FLA.
MIAMI, Fla. – Freshman Alen Karajic kicked four field goals and Josh Samuel rushed for a career-high 163 yards as Jacksonville State shocked Florida International 19-10 at Riccardo Silva Stadium, the Gamecocks’ first victory over an FBS opponent since 2013. Samuel and Uriah West (24 carries, 116 yards) helped Jacksonville State ground out 285 yards and control than ball for more than 42 minutes. It marked the first time since Nov. 16, 2017, that two Gamecock players surpassed 100 yards in the same game. JSU (3-1) outgained FIU 444-156 and allowed only six first downs to the Panthers (0-3), who were averaging 33.5 points in their first two games. The Gamecocks held a 42:16 to 17:44 advantage in time of possession and ran almost twice as many plays as the Panthers. Samuel became the Gamecocks’ first 100-yard rusher since Jaelen Greene’s 121-yard performance vs. East Tennessee State in the FCS playoffs on Nov. 24, 2018, a streak of 17 games. Record-setting quarterback Zerrick Cooper was hurt on JSU’s first series but walked off the field on his own. He stayed in and directed a 62-yard drive capped off by Karajic’s first field goal on the next possession but could not return. Cooper was 5-of-8 for 56 yards before departing. He now has 7,491 career passing yards, closing to within 161 yards of Eli Jenkins’ record of 7,652. He remains tied with Ed Lett (1979-82) atop the record book with 61 career touchdown passes.

GAMECOCKS OUTLOOK
INTRO
Grass could not have scripted a better first-half effort from the Gamecocks, even with Cooper watching from the sideline on crutches. Jacksonville State spotted the Panthers a 3-0 lead, then totally dominated the contest until halftime with Zion Webb at the helm of offense. The Gamecocks had 15 first downs to FIU’s 2, outgained the Panthers 223-54 and controlled possession for nearly 21 minutes through the first two quarters. Each of Jacksonville State’s three first-half scoring drives covered at least 55 yards and lasted 10, 14 and 12 plays, respectively. Karajic kicked field goals of 30 and 39 yards sandwiched around the Gamecocks’ longest scoring drive since 2014. Taking over at its two following a 64-yard punt by FIU’s Tommy Heatherly, JSU drove 98 yards in 14 plays – 11 running plays and three Webb completions – and Samuel finished things off with a two-yard touchdown run for a 10-3 lead with 11:43 remaining in the second quarter. Karajic provided all the points Jacksonville State needed after halftime. He kicked a 20-yard field goal at the 9:53 mark in the third quarter to extend the Gamecocks’ lead to 16-3. His final kick – a 23-yarder with 2:35 remaining – put the proverbial nail in the coffin, extending JSU’s lead to 19-10 and capping off a time-consuming 14-play, 66-yard drive.

#23 TENNESSEE TECH - 10 #16 JACKSONVILLE STATE – 27
FEBRUARY 28, 2021 – JACKSONVILLE, ALA. JACKSONVILLE -- The momentum built during the abbreviated fall 2020 campaign carried over to spring as No. 16 Jacksonville State defeated Tennessee Tech 27-10 on Sunday for its fourth straight win. The Gamecocks (4-1, 1-0) relied on an opportunistic defense that forced the No. 23 Golden Eagles into five turnovers and a punishing ground game that rolled up 274 yards to win their league opener in their final season as an Ohio Valley Conference member. Uriah West ran for 106 yards – his second straight 100-yard rushing performance – with one touchdown, Zion Webb rushed for 70 and Pat Jackson finished with 62 yards as Jacksonville State outgained Tennessee Tech 399-227 and beat the Golden Eagles (1-1, 0-1) for the eighth time in the last nine meetings. Webb, making his first career start, completed 12-of-19 passes for 125 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown to Dave Russell III early in the fourth quarter. The junior from Phenix City, Alabama also was intercepted once.
Safety Nicario Harper led Jacksonville State defensively with seven tackles. Robert Johnson had a fumble recovery, the game’s only turnover.
The first official touchdown ever scored by a Gamecock player in the month of February came less than seven minutes into the game.
SCORE BY QUARTERS 1
Jacksonville State started its spring season with an efficient, time-consuming 53-yard scoring drive that took 14 plays. Josh Samuel, who had two touchdown runs in the Gamecocks’ victory at Florida International last October, ran in from the 2 and Alen Karajic added the extra point for a 7-0 JSU lead with 8:02 remaining in the first quarter.

Karajic later wrapped the scoring with 3:43 remaining by kicking a 23-yard field goal to cap off an eight-play, 85-yard drive by the Gamecocks. Fuqua and Stevonte Tullis recovered fumbles for Jacksonville State. Nicario Harper, Jeremiah Harris and Markail Benton had interceptions for the Gamecocks. Harper was credited with a game-high 13 tackles to lead Jacksonville State defensively.

NASHVILLE – Jacksonville State’s final trip to Tennessee State as an Ohio Valley Conference member ended like the previous five – with a Gamecocks’ win. No. 10 Jacksonville State extended its winning streak to five with a methodical 38-16 victory over the Tigers at Hale Stadium on Sunday. The Gamecocks (5-1, 2-0) currently own the longest active winning streak among FCS programs. Zion Webb passed for a career-best 280 yards and three touchdowns and the defense limited Tennessee State (0-2, 0-2) to 225 net yards as JSU ran its all-time mark against the Tigers in Nashville to 6-0. Uriah West ran for a touchdown and caught a 54-yard TD pass, Pat Jackson added a short first-quarter touchdown run and Dave Russell III and Quan Charleston caught touchdown passes from Webb as the Gamecocks overcame two turnovers that led to Tennessee State field goals. Jacksonville State scored 17 points in an eight-minute span to pull away in the fourth after the Tigers trimmed their deficit to 21-16. Webb hooked up with West on a 54-yard touchdown pass at the 12:03 mark to finish off a quick 74-yard scoring drive, Alen Karajic kicked a 26-yard field goal less than four minutes later and Webb wrapped up the scoring with a 19-yard touchdown toss to Charleston with 3:57 remaining. Webb completed 21-of-33 passes for 280 yards with one interception – easily eclipsing his career highs of 12 completions (three times previously) and 137 yards vs. Eastern Kentucky in 2018. His first TD pass of the afternoon was a 29-yard strike that Dave Russell III caught in stride just before halftime to extend Jacksonville State’s cushion to 21-6. The Gamecocks outgained TSU 452-225 and recorded 24 first downs to the hosts’ 11. West accounted for 125 all-purpose yards, running seven times for 40 yards and grabbing three passes for 85 more. His five-yard TD run got the Gamecocks on the scoreboard first less than 4 1/2 minutes into the contest. The junior back has now accounted for 100-plus scrimmage yards in three straight games. Mike Pettway caught a team-high six passes for 75 yards for Jacksonville State.

#10 JACKSONVILLE STATE - 37 UT MARTIN – 20 MARCH 14, 2021 – MARTIN, TENN.
MARTIN, Tenn. – Zion Webb passed for three touchdowns as No. 10 Jacksonville State overcame an early deficit to defeat UT Martin 37-20 at Hardy M. Graham Stadium for its FCS-best sixth straight victory. The Gamecocks (6-1, 3-0 in the Ohio Valley Conference) beat the Skyhawks for the 10th time in 11 games in what was likely the final meeting between the programs as Jacksonville State joins the ASUN Conference on July 1. UT Martin (1-2, 1-2) stunned Jacksonville State by jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, the largest deficit the Gamecocks faced since the Mercer game on Oct. 10. But JSU overcame 109 yards in penalties to build a 20-10 lead by halftime and never allowed the Skyhawks to get within 10 points the rest of the afternoon. Webb threw three touchdown passes for the second week in a row, becoming the first Jacksonville State quarterback since Zerrick Cooper pulled off the feat in the final two games of the 2019 campaign.
Marshall Clark was the Gamecocks’ leading tackler with eight stops, followed by Nicario Harper with seven.
Webb had touchdown passes to Dave Russell III, Ahmad Edwards and Mike Pettway while completing 11-of-20 passes without an interception. Russell caught five passes for 107 yards, a season-high total that surpassed Trae Barry’s 104-yard performance at North Alabama in October.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURI – 3 #8 JACKSONVILLE STATE – 21 MARCH 21, 2021 - JACKSONVILLE, ALA.
JACKSONVILLE – A new offensive wrinkle and the welcome return from injury of All-American tight end Trae Barry sparked No. 8 Jacksonville State to a 21-3 victory over Southeast Missouri on Sunday in the 400th all-time game played at BurgessSnow Field at JSU Stadium. SEMO, which entered the game averaging more than 335 yards and 31 points per game, struggled for most of the afternoon offensively against the Gamecocks’ stout defense. The Redhawks were held to only nine rushing yards as Jacksonville State (7-1, 4-0 in Ohio Valley Conference) built a 14-3 lead at halftime and JSU kept up the pressure in the second half for its seventh consecutive win. SEMO, which stopped Jacksonville State’s 32-game regular-season home winning streak on its last visit to Burgess-Snow Field in 2019 after halting the Gamecocks’ 36-game Ohio Valley Conference win streak the previous season, fell to 1-4 and 1-3. JSU has not lost three in a row to any OVC opponent since Eastern Kentucky (2010-12). The Gamecock offense at times operated from a three-back formation featuring Uriah West, Josh Samuel and Pat Jackson and the new triple-threat look kept the SEMO defense on its heels all day. West ran for a five-yard touchdown in the second quarter – his fourth straight game with a rushing TD – and led the Gamecocks with 71 yards on a team-high 16 carries. Samuel added 62 yards and also caught a 54-yard touchdown pass from Zion Webb in the third quarter. Webb completed 11-of-19 passes for 190 yards and scored his first rushing touchdown of the 2020-21 season on a nineyard scamper in the first quarter. He also ran for 53 yards. Barry, making his first appearance since the spring opener vs. Tennessee Tech on Feb. 28, caught three first-half passes from Webb for 58 yards. Mike Pettway was the leading receiver with 60 yards on four receptions. Jacksonville State outgained SEMO 374-144. The Redhawks were limited to 24 yards on 25 carries, the fewest rushing yards allowed by the Gamecocks since 2018. Cornerback Jacquez Payton intercepted Redhawks quarterback Andrew Bunch in the third quarter – his second pickoff in three games – while Jeremiah Harris and Marshall Clark were JSU’s leading tacklers with nine and eight stops, respectively. The Gamecocks sacked SEMO’s Bunch four times and were credited with a season-high 11 tackles for loss. It was the fewest points a Jacksonville State defense had allowed since shutting out Mississippi Valley State 71-0 on Sept. 8, 2018. SEMO was a combined 2-for-18 on third-down or fourth-down conversions.

AUSTIN PEAY – 13 #7 JACKSONVILLE STATE – 10
MARCH 28, 2021 AT JACKSONVILLE, ALA. JACKSONVILLE – The final regular-season home game in a season that started seven months ago saw No. 7 Jacksonville State’s FCS-best win streak come to an abrupt halt at seven in a ragged 13-10 Ohio Valley Conference loss to Austin Peay. The Gamecocks (7-2, 4-1 OVC) committed six turnovers and were penalized a season-high 18 times for 126 yards as the Governors won at Burgess-Snow Field for the first time since 1979. They last lost back-to-back games to Austin Peay during the 1952-53 seasons. Jacksonville State falls one game behind OVC leader Murray State (5-0) with road trips remaining against Eastern Illinois next week and the Racers on April 11. It was JSU’s lowest scoring total since a 17-7 loss to Kennesaw State in the 2017 FCS playoffs. Austin Peay (3-5, 3-2) won despite gaining only 51 total yards and failing to convert on third down in the second half. The Governors were limited to 27 yards on 29 carries, the third straight opponent the Gamecocks’ defense held to less than 30 yards on the ground. Jacksonville State quarterback Zion Webb struggled all afternoon, completing just 9-of-26 passes for 111 yards while throwing four interceptions. Josh Samuel accounted for 152 scrimmage yards with 89 yards rushing and two receptions for 63 yards. The Gamecocks outgained Austin Peay 259-238, their fewest total yards in the 2020-21 season. Four first-half turnovers and 12 penalties resulted in the Gamecocks trailing the 2019 OVC champions 13-7 at intermission. Webb, who had never thrown more than one interception in a game as a collegian, was picked off on three consecutive series during the second quarter, and Pat Jackson lost a fumble in the first as the Gamecocks’ offense struggled to find their rhythm.

G A M E R E C A PS A stop-and-go first quarter saw both teams score touchdowns on lengthy opening drives, then struggle to establish any momentum as the officiating crew whistled 11 penalties (JSU 6, Govs 5) for a combined 85 yards. The Gamecocks received the opening kickoff and immediately covered 65 yards in five plays to the end zone to take the early lead. Samuel was the workhorse on the first series, catching a 48-yard screen from Webb to take Jacksonville State deep into Austin Peay territory. Samuel scored on a three-yard run two plays later – his fourth rushing touchdown to the 2020-21 season – and Alen Karajic tacked on the PAT for a 7-0 JSU lead with 13:28 to go in the first quarter. Austin Peay answered with a five-play touchdown drive of its own, assisted by three penalties against the Gamecocks. Freshman quarterback Draylen Ellis moved the Govs 75 yards with five passing plays, finishing it off with a 38-yard TD strike to DeAngelo Wilson. The two-point conversion try failed, leaving Jacksonville State with a 7-6 edge with 11:18 remaining in the first. Webb’s first intercepted pass led to Austin Peay’s go-ahead scoring drive. The Govs used up more than seven minutes and ran 20 plays to take a 13-7 lead midway through the second quarter. Ahmaad Tanner finished off the 75-yard drive with a one-yard dive and Cole Deeds kicked the extra point as Austin Peay gained its first lead. Alen Karajic kicked a 36-yard field goal in the third quarter for Jacksonville State’s only second-half score. Nicario Harper and Jamias Presley were JSU’s top tacklers with seven apiece. Harper’s third interception of the season in the first quarter halted a Governors’ scoring threat.
#12 JACKSONVILLE STATE – 44 EASTERN ILLINOIS – 23 APRIL 3, 2021 – CHARLESTON, ILL.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – No. 12 Jacksonville State did its part on a sunny Saturday afternoon and now four quarters of football stand between the Gamecocks and their eighth – and final – Ohio Valley Conference championship. The Gamecocks (8-2, 5-1 OVC) erupted for 17 points in a five-minute span in the second quarter in a 44-23 win over Eastern Illinois at O’Brien Field. The victory sets up a showdown for the conference championship on the road against No. 14 Murray State in next week’s regular-season finale. Quarterback Zion Webb threw a pair of touchdowns to Ahmad Edwards and ran for another, and safety Hudson Petty returned a fumble for a touchdown as Jacksonville State knocked off the Panthers for the seventh straight time in what was likely its last trip to EIU. Uriah West and Josh Samuel contributed short TD runs and Alen Karajic added a career-long 46-yard field goal as JSU rolled up a season-high for total yards (540) and points scored. The Gamecocks had four plays of 40 yards or more against the Panthers (1-5, 1-5 OVC). Webb completed 16-of-24 passes for 249 yards without an interception after being picked off four times the previous week.

Both of his touchdown passes went to Edwards, who hauled in a 26-yard TD reception in the first quarter and an 11-yard scoring catch in the fourth quarter. The sophomore from Alabaster finished with five catches for a career-high 101 yards. Jacksonville State broke open a tie game midway through the second quarter when West capped off a five-play drive with a three-yard run, his fourth rushing touchdown of the season. Karajic’s extra point put the Gamecocks ahead 14-7 at the 7:47 mark in the second quarter. On Eastern Illinois’ first play following a touchback on the ensuing kickoff, JSU safety Hudson Petty recovered a fumble and sprinted 22 yards to the end zone just eight seconds later. Karajic’s PAT stretched the lead to 21-7. Webb rushed a team-high 15 times for 63 and scored on a two-yard run in the third quarter. Samuel was again the rushing leader with 130 yards on only 12 attempts, including a 64-yard burst deep into EIU territory in the third quarter. Jaylen Swain led Jacksonville State with eight tackles and Nicario Harper, Marshall Clark and D.J. Coleman were each credited with seven stops. Petty’s fumble recovery was the game’s only turnover.

TEMPERATURE: 70
The FCS Football Selection Show will be held Sunday, April 18, at 10:30 a.m. on ESPNU. The playoffs begin on April 24 and Jacksonville State is eligible to host a first-round game. The Gamecocks rolled up 281 yards in the first two quarters and scored touchdowns on three straight drives covering at least 65 yards. Jacksonville State also benefited from a pair of missed field goals by Racers kicker Aaron Baum, who failed to convert from 43 yards in the first quarter and 38 yards just before halftime. Senior tight end Trae Barry hauled in a 39-yard toss from Zion Webb as the Gamecocks drove deep into Murray State territory on their second series. Webb scored on an 11-yard scamper on the next play and Alen Karajic tacked on the extra point for a 7-0 lead with 8:12 remaining in the first. The Webb-to-Barry connection staked Jacksonville State a 14-0 lead on the next series. Barry became JSU’s all-time leader in career receiving yardage by a tight end with another 39-yard reception down to the Murray State 12, then Pat Jackson ran 11 yards to the Racers 1. Webb finished off the five-play drive with a 1-yard run and Karajic’s PAT made it 14-0 at the 1:39 mark in the first. Murray State responded with its only points of the half on a 30-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds left in the opening quarter. Webb completed four passes on the ensuing drive and got the Gamecocks into the red zone with a 16-yard jaunt early in the second quarter. Josh Samuel ran the last yard to complete the 14-play, 74-yard march and Karajic’s kick gave JSU the 21-7 cushion it carried to the locker room at half. Barry finished with 101 yards on four catches, his first 100-yard game since a 104-yard performance against North Alabama on Oct. 17, 2020. Webb hit Barry with an 18-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to complete a seven-play, 81-yard scoring drive. It was Webb’s 16th touchdown pass of the 2020-21 season. Webb accounted for 304 scrimmage yards against the Racers. The junior quarterback ran 12 times for 65 yards and threw for 239, completing 17 of 28 passes without an interception. Nicario Harper and Marshall Clark were Jacksonville State’s top tacklers with eight each. Jamias Presley had a fourthquarter interception to seal the win and also contributed five tackles. JSU held a 444-373 advantage in total offense and limited Murray State to 26 yards on the ground. It marks the ninth opponent held to less than 100 yards rushing, breaking the season mark set by JSU’s defenses in 2016 and 2017. SCORE BY QUARTERS 1

DAVIDSON – 14 #4 JACKSONVILLE STATE – 49 FCS PLAYOFFS – 1ST ROUND APRIL 24, 2021 - JACKSONVILLE, ALA.
JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State erupted for three touchdowns in a seven-minute span to conclude the first half en route to a 49-14 win over Pioneer Football League champion Davidson in the first round of the FCS playoffs at BurgessSnow Field. The fourth-seeded Gamecocks (10-2) advance to the FCS quarterfinals for the first time since 2015. Davidson, making its first postseason appearance since 1969, finished with a 4-3 record. The 35-point margin of victory was Jacksonville State’s biggest in postseason play since thrashing Sam Houston State 62-10 in the 2015 national semifinals. Jacksonville State averaged 13 yards per play and accumulated 273 total yards in building a 28-7 lead by halftime. Any momentum the run-oriented Wildcats had established came to an abrupt halt just before intermission when Zion Webb scored on a one-yard quarterback draw to extend the Gamecocks’ lead to 21-7 with 40 seconds remaining. JSU’s Demarco Price recovered the ensuing short kickoff at Davidson’s 22. Webb immediately connected with receiver Michael Pettway on a 22-yard touchdown strike with 33 seconds left and Alen Karajic tacked on the extra point for a 21-point lead at the break. The 14 points scored in seven seconds set a Jacksonville State school record and crushed the Wildcats’ hopes of staying within striking distance. Webb threw touchdown passes of 55 yards to Pat Jackson and 22 yards to Pettway in addition to his second-quarter rushing TD. Josh Samuel and Uriah West each had a touchdown run in the first half. Samuel’s one-yard run gave JSU an early 7-0 lead after Webb had raced a career-long 67 yards on the previous play. West’s six-yard run at the 7:03 mark in the second quarter capped off an eight-play, 86-yard drive that was set up by Logan McVay’s 34-yard reception deep into Davidson territory. The Wildcats entered the contest as the FCS leader in rushing offense at 293.8 yards per game. They finished with 202 on the ground, becoming the first JSU opponent in the last 10 games to rush for more than 100 yards. But Davidson’s aerial attack was essentially a non-factor as quarterback Tyler Phelps completed just seven passes for 59 yards. The FCS leader in third-down conversions at 56% was limited to only 6-of-18 by the Gamecock defense. West finished with a game-high 76 yards and added his second rushing touchdown on a one-yard run in the third quarter. Jackson also found the end zone a second time with a one-yard run in the fourth quarter for Jacksonville State’s final points. Davidson kept possession for 42 minutes to Jacksonville State’s 18 and ran 79 plays to the Gamecocks’ 43. JSU, however, averaged 10.7 yards per play and outgained Davidson 461-261. Safety Jeremiah Harris recorded a career-high 12 tackles to lead the Gamecocks’ defensive effort. Linebacker Markail Benton contributed 10 stops.

Trae Barry caught four passes for 52 yards to lead the Gamecocks and now has 1,610 career receiving yards. Graham was the top rusher with 62 yards, though no other JSU runner managed more than 15 as the Blue Hens’ defense surrendered only 107 on the ground. Linebacker Marshall Clark finished with a career-high 12 tackles to lead Jacksonville State, followed by Nicario Harper’s nine stops. Jacquez Payton contributed an interception in the second quarter.

JACKSONVILLE – A season that started 211 days earlier in the Florida Panhandle came to a halt on a warm, overcast Alabama spring afternoon as fifth-seeded Delaware knocked off Jacksonville State 20-14 at Burgess-Snow Field in the FCS quarterfinals. The Fightin’ Blue Hens (7-0) won their first road playoff game in 14 years behind a stout defense that limited the Gamecocks to just 200 total yards, 199.4 below their season average. No. 4 Jacksonville State, which was making its first quarterfinal appearance since 2015, finished 10-3.

Delaware limited the Gamecocks to seven first downs and became the first FCS opponent since Kennesaw State in 2017 to hold JSU to 200 yards or less total offense. Jacksonville State was 1-for-12 on third-down conversions. Jacksonville State lost starting quarterback Webb to a leg injury late in the first quarter and struggled to establish any offensive consistency. Delaware led 14-0 at halftime behind long touchdown drives on its first two possessions. The Gamecocks were held to 75 total yards in the first half, but equaled that amount on their first two plays after halftime to climb back in it. Freshman A.C. Graham, the third JSU quarterback to appear, sprinted 74 yards straight up the middle on first down before being tripped up at the Delaware 1. Uriah West ran the last yard for a touchdown and Alen Karajic kicked the extra point to slice the Blue Hens’ lead to 14-7 with 14:27 to go in the third quarter. West’s touchdown was his eighth of the 2020-21 season. Delaware jumped out to a two-touchdown lead in the game’s first 11½ minutes with scoring drives of 75 and 89 yards. Anthony Paoletti scored on a two-yard run after the Blue Hens received the opening kickoff and drove to the end zone in eight plays. Ryan Coe’s PAT made it 7-0 with less than four minutes elapsed. The Colonial Athletic Association’s automatic qualifier extended their lead on the next series. Nolan Henderson passed 24 yards to Gene Coleman II to JSU’s 1 and Dejoun Lee ran in two plays later. Coe’s second extra point made it 14-0 at the

J SU A LL-A MER I C A NS BLACKIE HEATH - 1946
RAY VINSON - 1966
CALVIN WORD - 1974 • 1975
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.
Calvin Word became the only Jacksonville State football player to earn Little All-America 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.
TERRY HARRIS - 1967
Gary Wagner played linebacker well enough to make all-conference as a junior, but he really came into his own as a middle guard during his senior season. Wagner, note for his quickness and ability to block punts, field goals and extra-point attempts (17 in two years), won NAIN Little All-America honors at this position. In addition, the former Huntsville prep star was voted all-district and all-conference during the 1976 season, when Jax State did not allow a rushing touchdown in the first eight games.
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 nine-straight 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 AllAmerican honors and earned the school’s first trip to the Blue-Gray Game in Montgomery, Ala.
BILLY HICKS - 1955
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 holds the record for most yards pass receiving (career) 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
GARY WAGNER - 1976
JESSE BAKER - 1977 • 1978 Jesse Baker was a two-time All-America at Jacksonville State. The Conyers, Ga., defensive tackle led the Gamecocks to conference titles in 1977 and 1978. As a junior, Baker earned first-team Associated Press honors and was named the top defensive player after the Grantland Rice Bowl. In 1978, he was named to the Kodak All-America team after setting a school record with seven fumble recoveries. He also had 51 tackles, 20 assists and nine sacks for 65 yards in losses. He was inducted into the Jacksonville State University Hall of Fame in 1995. Baker was selected by the Houston Oilers in the second round of the 1978 NFL draft and led the league in sacks as a rookie.
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.
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.
JIM GLASGOW - 1957
ALAN PASEUR - 1972
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.
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 All-America 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.
SIMON SHEPHARD - 1980
BOYCE CALLAHAN - 1973
Ed Lett garnered All-America honors in both his junior and senior seasons after guiding the Gamecocks to back-to-back Gulf South Conference titles in 1981 and 1982. In both those seasons, the quarterback was named the GSC’s Offensive Player of the Year after guiding an offense that led the GSC in rushing, total offense and scoring. His 22 touchdown passes in 1982 still stands as the school record and helped him earn “Alabama Amateur Athlete of the Year” honors. He is Jax State’s career leader in pass attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, completion percentage and passing yards per game.
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.
160
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.
BUTCH BARKER - 1977 • 1978 Butch Barker earned consecutive All-America honors in 1977 and 1978. The Weaver, Ala., native set the school record for career touchdown receptions with 14 in addition to being honored as one of the top five studentathletes in the country by the NCAA. He finished the 1978 season by leading the Gamecocks in receptions with 53 for 570 yards and four touchdowns. He was named Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America in 1977 and 1978. Simon Shephard was named to the Associated Press AllAmerica team in 1980 after helping the Gamecocks to an 8-3 record and a berth into the NCAA Play-offs. Shephard, a native of Summerville, S.C., came to Jacksonville State without a scholarship, but led the Gamecocks with 84 tackles and eight sacks. He had three fumble recoveries and intercepted two passes for 47 yards.

J SU A LL-A MER I C A NS GREG LOWERY - 1982 Greg Lowery received All-America honors from the Associated Press in 1982 after the punter’s leg played a key role in guiding the Gamecocks to their secondstraight Gulf South championship and a trip to the semifinals of the NCAA playoffs.

He guided a defense that was atop the OVC in yards allowed and pressuring opposing quarterbacks. Coleman had 55 tackles with 12 for a loss and a team-high nine sacks. He was first in the OVC in sacks per game and second in the nation with 12.0 total sacks. He had 14 quarterback hurries, three pass breakups, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble. He led a JSU defense that stymied opposing offenses all season, especially in the run game. JSU held a school-record nine-straight opponents under 100 yards rushing at one point during the season and didn’t allow a single OVC team to run for 100 yards. JSU won the OVC title and advanced to the Quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs for the first time in six seasons.
ZERRICK COOPER – 2018 Quarterback Zerrick Cooper made an immediate impact on the Gamecock offense after transferring from Clemson prior to the 2018 season. In his first season with the Gamecocks, he continued the tradition started by JSU quarterbacks before him, earning First Team AllOVC honors, the fifth-straight season a JSU signal caller earned that honor. He was a Sophomore All-American by HERO Sports after a record-setting season leading one of the nation’s top offenses to what was JSU’s recordsetting fifth-straight OVC title. Cooper had the best passing season in school history in 2018, setting new school records with 3,416 yards, 32 touchdown passes and 251 completions. His 290.9 yards of total offense per game are also a new school record. The Jonesboro, Ga., native ranked third nationally in touchdown passes and fourth in passing yards in 2018, while also finishing among the national leaders in passing efficiency (13th– 147.6) and total offense (15th– 290.9). With just one season under his belt at JSU, he already ranked seventh in school history in career touchdown passes and 10th in career passing yards.
YUL GOWDY – 2018 His redshirt freshman campaign was an impressive one for cornerback Yul Gowdy, who earned OVC AllNewcomer honors before being named a Freshman All-American by HERO Sports and by Phil Steele. After an injury ended his 2017 season early, he received a medical redshirt and made the most of it in the 2018 season. The native of Birmingham and poduct of Minor High School recorded 41 tackles, 31 solo, and also intercepting a pass that he returned 15 yards for a score in the Tennessee State game. He also broke up 10 passes on the year. He had a career-high nine stops against Eastern Illinois on Oct. 13 and had six in the Gamecocks’ win over East Tennessee State in the First Round of the FCS Playoffs. He was a key member of a JSU defensive backfield that was second in the nation in third-down defense and seventh in defensive touchdowns. The Gamecocks ranked 10th in the nation in pass efficiency defense and were in the top 20 in interceptions, passing yards allowed and total defense. JSU won its OVC-record fifth-straight conference title in 2018.
NICARIO HARPER – 2020 Safety Nicario Harper made an immediate impact on the Jacksonville State football team in the 2020 season, being named a Consensus First Team All-American after transferring to the Gamecocks from Southern Miss. The Atlanta native was the most dominant player on a dominant defense in the season that was stretched over the fall and spring semesters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was named a First Team All-American by every outlet at the end of the season, including Stats Perform, AFCA, Associated Press, HERO Sports, Athlon and the FCS Athletic Directors Association, who named him the top defensive back among all FCS players. He led the OVC’s Top defense with 92 tackles and with four takeaways, thanks to three interceptions and a fumble that he returned 64 yards for a touchdown. He was voted the Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year by the coaches of the league, making him just the fourth Gamecock to earn that honor. The First Team All-OVC and OVC All-Newcomer selection was the first JSU defensive back to win the OVC Defensive Player of the Year award and the first defensive back from any school to win it in 13 years. Harper led a JSU defense that stymied opposing offenses all season, especially in the run game. JSU held a school-record nine-straight opponents under 100 yards rushing at one point during the season and didn’t allow a single OVC team to run for 100 yards. JSU won the OVC title and advanced to the Quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs for the first time in six seasons.
TYLAN GRABLE – 2020 Offensive Lineman Tylan Grable earned a pair of AllAmerica honors in his sophomore season after taking a non-traditional route to being one of the nation’s top offensive linemen. Grable, a native of Gordon, Ga., started his career as a tight end at JSU before moving inside to the offensive line. He went from 240 pounds as a freshman to a 6-foot-7, 290-pound redshirt sophomore in the 2020-21 season that was stretched over the fall and spring semesters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He then earned First Team All-OVC honors before receiving Second Team All-America honors from Stats Perform and the AFCA. He was a Sophomore All-American by HERO Sports. He graded out at a team-high 88 percent and recorded 32 knockdowns on the season. Grable helped pave the way for a JSU offense that was as balanced as any in the FCS, averaging 189 yards per game on the ground and 195 yards through the air. JSU won the OVC title and advanced to the Quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs for the first time in six seasons.
JAYLEN SWAIN – 2020 Defensive end and outside linebacker Jaylen Swain made his mark on the field for the Jacksonville State football team as a true freshman, earning Freshman All-America honors by HERO Sports for the 2020-21 season that was stretched across the fall and spring semesters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A native of Oxford, Swain was a First Team All-Ohio Valley Conference selection and member of the OVC’s All-Newcomer Team before earning the Freshman All-America honor in a season that saw him lead a dominant JSU defense that limited a school-record nine opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. He was second on the Gamecocks with 11.5 tackles for a loss for a second-best 59 yards and also added three sacks and 12 quarterback hurries. Swain tied for the team lead with two forced fumbles and also blocked a punt. JSU won the OVC title and advanced to the Quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs for the first time in six seasons.

The ACC
All-Americans
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 AllConference squad.
The Gamecocks have had a total of 100 players selected All-America since the modern day records begin in 1946. The school’s first All-American 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 All-America 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. Rhodes was named second-team All-American in 2002 and third-team in 2003. 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. In 2014, Max Holcombe (C), Jermaine Hough (CB), Devaunte Sigler (DL), and Justin Lea (OL) earned All-America mentions after a 10-2 season and OVC title. The historic 2015 season saw five All-Americans in a Gamecock uniform. Eli Jenkins (QB), Casey
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. In 2015 wide receiver Dalton Screws also received the OVC Scholar-Athlete Award and was then named the Doris and Eddie Robinson FCS Scholar-Athlete of the Year for his efforts in the classroom and on the field. Outside of JSU, Screws served as a missionary in Tanzania, efforts that earned him a spot on the AllState Good Works Team. 2017 saw Justin Lea claim the OVC ScholarAthlete Award after becoming the first JSU or OVC Player named to the National Football Foundation’s Scholar-Athlete Team and a finalist for the William V.

ASUN Football and the AQ7 In January of 2021, Jacksonville State announced it will move all of its sports back to the ASUN Conference after 18 years in the Ohio Valley Conference. The return to JSU’s first Division I conference home will feature football for the first time, with the inception of ASUN Football. JSU, Eastern Kentucky, Central Arkansas, Kennesaw State and North Alabama are the charter members of the ASUN Football league, which will begin competition in the 2022 season. For the 2021 season, JSU, EKU and UCA will team up with four schools in their transition to the Western Athletic Conference – Sam Houston, Stephen F Austin, Lamar and Abilene Christian – to compete for an automatic bid to the FCS Playoffs through what will be called the AQ7 or the ASUN-WAC Challenge.
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, that used to be 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. The two have not met since 2001 after Troy moved up to FBS.
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.

Buck Buchanan Award Winner In 2017, senior defensive end Darius Jackson not only became the first JSU or Ohio Valley Conference player named a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, but the Darius Jackson Bessemer, Ala., native won the honor given by STATS to the nation’s top defensive player in FCS. Jackson received the award at the annual STATS FCS Awards Banquet in Frisco, Texas on the eve of the National Championship Game. The honor is voted on by a panel of media members and FCS Sports Information Directors. Jackson, a 6-foot-3 native of Bessemer, Ala., and the two-time reigning OVC Defensive Player of the Year, becomes the first Gamecock to be named to the final three for either of the FCS’ top two awards, the Buchanan Award and the Walter Payton Award. At the end of the regular season, Jackson became the fifth player to repeat as OVC Defensive Player of the Year and the first since Eastern Kentucky’s George Floyd in 1980 and 1981. He was later a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award and then later on named to the final three. He led a defense that was dominant for the Gamecocks in 2017. The Gamecocks currently hold the No. 2 ranked defense in the nation, allowing just over 239 yards per game. Their 75.6 yards per game allowed on the ground sixth-best in the nation, while JSU also ranks in the top 10 nationally in pass efficiency defense, tackles for loss and third-down conversion defense. Jackson made it one step further in the Buchanan voting than in 2016, when he finished fourth in the voting. After an All-America season in 2016, his numbers were even better in 2017. He broke the school record for tackles for a loss in a season with 20.5, beating his own record set in 2015. His 1.7 tackles for loss per game rank fourth nationally. He had seven sacks on the season and 23 quarterback hurries. His four-year career has seen him demolish the JSU career records for sacks (27.5), tackles for loss (60.5) and yards from tackles for a loss (277). He ranks third among all active FCS players in career tackles for loss and yards from those stops.
Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium Since JSU Stadium opened in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 291-105-8 record at home. 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.

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. Prior to the 2017 season, the standard definition video board that was installed in 2007 was replaced by a new board that includes a full high definition display that measures 12 feet in height and 80 feet in width. On the Gamecock Field House, a new scoreboard was installed in 2007, making Burgess-Snow Field the only school in the OVC with two scoreboards. 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. 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 fourthquarter come-from-behind win, a 21-17 thriller over Chattanooga. 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. In the summer of 2021, the JSU Board of Trustees approved an $80 million project that would add more dorm rooms, a campus dining hall and retail space around a new football facility that will house new offices, a locker room and team meeting facilities. Construction is scheduled to begin after the 2021 season and be complete before the 2023 season.

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
Class of 1990-91
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), TennesseeMartin, Troy State and Jacksonville State -- convened in Birmingham to form the Mid-South 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 four consecutive for both the men’s and women’s programs from 1990-93. In fact, JSU won more GSC championships in football (9), men’s basketball (7), and baseball (5, three-way tie) than any school, past or present. More than 100 Jax State football players were named to the All-Gulf South Conference football team. Six more were selected as the “Players of the Year” at the conclusion of the season.

Ice Bowl Jacksonville State vs Mississippi College in the 1989 NCAA Division II National Championship Game in Florence, Ala. On December 9, 1989, a winter storm came across the Tennessee Valley and dumped more than two inches of ice and snow the night before the Gamecocks faced GSC foe Mississippi College for the National Title on ESPN. Jax State had beaten the Choctaws 23-3 soundly earlier in the season, but Shane Stewart’s 19-yard field goal with 6:13 remaining in the third was enough to give MC the win. It was the third time in as many games that JSU had not allowed the Chocs a single TD. Snow, which fell continuously from the morning hours, turned the field into a slick maze of ice; making footing treacherous. JSU, stymied by the conditions and the 31 degree temperature, managed just 126 yards rushing. The title was vacated by the NCAA in 1992 after Mississippi College was found in violation of numerous NCAA violations.
JSU’s school record for longest kickoff return in school history is held by Ray Vinson, from Oxford. Vinson’s 103-yard kickoff return gave the Gamecocks’ the spark they need to stop highly-rated Troy State 27-6. It gave the Gamecocks its 19th straight homecoming victory. Returns from the end zone now count just 100 yards. JSU’s Joey Hamilton was the last player to return a kickoff for 100 yards, vs Samford, on October 2, 1999.

One Arm Bandit Playing football with just one arm didn’t slow down this Gamecock All-American. Jodie Connell was a four-year 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 Jodie Connell 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, 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 AllAmerica 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.

Jenkins repeated in 2016, becoming the first student-athlete to win back-to-back since 2009 and only the fifth student-athlete in OVC history to receive the honor in back-to-back seasons. Jenkins concluded his career with a 36-0 record as a starting quarterback against nonFootball Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents in the regular season (he was 25-0 against OVC opponents).
Overtime Games
Ohio Valley Conference The Gamecocks competed in the Ohio Valley Conference from 200320, and their presence was felt immediately. Jacksonville State claimed a total of 81 conference championships in just 18 years in the league, including nine football titles; 2003, 2004, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020. The Gamecocks During that 18-year span, JSU also had 54 All-Americans and 197 All-OVC honors. The Gamecocks had four OVC Coach of the Year Award winners (Jack Crowe in 2004 and John Grass in 2014, 15 and 16), four OVC Offensive Players of the Year (Ryan Perrilloux – 09, Eli Jenkins – 15 and 16, Roc Thomas – 17), four OVC defensive Players of the Year (Devaunte Sigler – 14, Darius Jackson – 16 and 17, Nicario Harper – 20), and three OVC Freshen of the Year ( Coty Blanchard – 10, Justin Lea – 14, Marlon Bridges – 16).
Ole Miss Shocker One of the biggest wins in the school’s 112-year football history happened in 2010 in Oxford, Miss., as the Gamecocks rallied from a 21-point half time deficit to claim the school’s first-ever win over a Southeastern Conference opponent with a thrilling 49-48 double-over time win over the Rebels. Ole Miss jumped out to a 31-10 halftime advantage and was trying to add to a 31-13 lead near the end of the third quarter before JSU’s Keginald Harris intercepted a Jeremiah Masoli pass and returned it 24 yards. True freshman Coty Blanchard drove the Gamecocks 59 yards in eight plays to cut the lead to 11 points. When Ole Miss tried to deliver another knockout punch on the ensuing drive, JSU delivered a stop on four-and-6 from the Gamecocks’ 33-yard line. Blanchard then directd a 67-yard drive, cutting the margin to 31-26. Starting quarterback Marques Ivory returned to lead the
Jacksonville State has played 15 overtime games in its football history, and six have been multiple overtimes. The Gamecocks are 8-7 in the extra period. They claimed a 17-10 win over Tennessee Tech in 2006, won 49-48 in double-overtime at Ole Miss in 2010 and topped Georgia State 34-27 on the road in 2010. JSU won the first two of three consecutive overtime games in 2013, beating North Alabama and Georgia State before losing to Murray State a week later. Most recently, the Gamecocks fell 60-52 in a five-overtime thriller against Kennesaw State at the Atlanta Braves’ SunTrust Park in 2018. The Gamecocks played the first overtime game in school history on November 16, 1996, against Northeast Louisiana at Indian Stadium in Monroe, La. Each team scored a touchdown on its first possession, forcing a second overtime with the score tied at 28-28. In the second extra period, JSU’s Montressa Kirby threw his second interception of the night. That allowed NLU kicker Cory Babineaux to kick his first field goal attempt of the game, booting a 29-yarder to win the game and end the Gamecocks’ 1996 season. In 1999, JSU played its second overtime game in school history vs McNeese State on October 16. JSU held a 19-6 lead at the half, but McNeese stormed back when Shonz LaFrenz kicked a 39-yard field as time expired in regulation to tie the score at 26-26. Both teams scored a touchdown on their first possession of overtime. JSU’s Brad Hopkins kicked a 40-yard field to give the Gamecocks a 36-33 lead in the second overtime. McNeese State took over and fumbled on second down and JSU tried to pick up the ball and a MSU lineman was able to recover the fumble for the Cowboys. On the next play, Slade Nagle tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Redmond to give the Cowboys a 39-36 SFL win. Jax State played its third overtime game in school history in

Nacogdoches, Texas, vs Stephen F. Austin on October 13, 2001. SFA held a 17-16 lead at the half, but the Gamecocks battled back with 14 points in the third quarter to build a 30-17 lead entering the fourth quarter. The Lumberjacks tied the game at 30-30, after going 95 yards in 10 plays in the final three minutes to force overtime. Both teams scored touchdowns on their first possession of overtime. The ‘Jacks then took a 44-37 lead after scoring on a 4th and goal play from the eight yard line, a pass from Wes Pate to Courtney Garcia. The Gamecocks then took over, but was unable to score as Reggie Stancil’s pass fell incompete in the endzone on 4th down. In 2003, JSU’s first season in the Ohio Valley Conference, the Gamecocks led for more than 59 minutes, but Murray State rallied from a 17-10 fourth quarter deficit and marched 71 yards in seven plays and tied the game with just :24 remaining in the game. In the game, senior kicked Steven Lee set a school record by kicking a 52-yard field goal during the second quarter, the Citronelle, Ala., native finished the game with three field goals. In the overtime period, the Gamecocks took possession and failed to gain a first down. Lee’s 39-yard field goal sailed wide right, so Murray State took over. On the second play, Ulysses ran 20 yards up the middle to score a touchdown as the Racers handed JSU its only OVC loss during the 2003 championship season. The Gamecocks picked up their first-ever over-time win in 2006 with a 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 4th-and-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 two-yard 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. Kelton Hill’s pass to Elijia Ogbuehl was was incomplete in the back of the endzone as the Gamecocks held on for the win. For the first time in Jacksonville State’s history, the Gamecocks played a quintuple overtime game against No. 2 Kennesaw State on Nov. 17, 2018. In the first-ever football game ever played at SunTrust Park in Atlanta, the Owls defeated JSU 60-52 in the final game of the regular season.

Cooper had four touchdown passes and Leander Burrowes rushed for a pair of scores as the Gamecocks outgained the Owls 519-425. In the end, KSU scored a touchdown and converted the two-point attempt, while the JSU offense was unable to find the end zone on its final drive. The Owls forced Jacksonville State’s first overtime game since 2015 with a 72-yard march late in the fourth quarter. Chandler Burks’ one-yard run and the ensuing extra point tied it at 24-24 as regulation ended.

The Road to Frisco The 2015 season was an historic one for JSU Football, which put together an unprecedented run to the school’s first appearance in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, Texas. The Gamecocks lost just one regular season game, a 27-20 overtime loss at No. 6 Auburn that was the first time an FCS school had taken a ranked FBS foe into overtime. They then won their next 12 games, including a perfect 8-0 OVC record and three FCS Playoff wins at home that propelled them into the title game. North Dakota State won the title game to claim its fifth-straight FCS title, but not before JSU grabbed the nation’s attention by breaking attendance records three times in home playoff games. The Gamecocks led all of the FCS in Playoff attendance, averaging 22,647 fans in the three home games at Burgess-Snow Field.
True Sportsman On top of the national acclaim the 2015 Gamecocks earned on the field, they were also recognized for their efforts away from the field. Junior wide receiver Dalton Screws earned several honors in 2015, starting with the OVC Scholar-Athlete Award, the highest honor an OVC student-athlete can receive. Screws was an Academic All-District player for JSU and was also named to the AllState Good Works Team for his work in the mission fields in Tanzania. At the conclusion of the season, Screws was presented the Doris and Eddie Robinson FCS ScholarAthlete of the Year Award at the annual STATS Awards Banquet. Lastly, Screws became the first Gamecock to win the OVC’s prestigious Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award in the summer of 2016, naming him the conference’s top sportsman for the 2015-16 year among all sports.

Statistical Champions Jax State has had six 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. In 2015, senior Troymaine Pope led the nation in average yards per rush with 8.2, carrying him to a school- and OVC record 1,788 rushing yards in the historic season.
Television The Gamecocks have made numerous appearances on regional and 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 worldwide all season long on ESPN+ with select games picked up by ESPN3.
There has been a total of three in more than 110 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 seven shutouts. 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 shut-outs. 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.
“WHUP TROY!” 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.

1977 Grantland Rice Bowl 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. The game, played in Anniston and on ABC regional television, belonged to the Gamecocks from the opening whistle. Jax State advanced to the finals of the NCAA Division II playoffs with the victory. Jacksonville State rolled up 223 yards rushing while holding North Dakota State to 148 and had 180 yards passing to the Bisons’ 96 yards. Tailback Pat Clements gained 101 yards to pace the win. Defensive tackles Jesse Baker was named the top defensive player while Bobby Ray Green, JSU quarterback, was tabbed as the top offensive player. Each player was rewarded with a scholarship in their name by Chevrolet and ABC. Donald Young caught five passes for 92 yards to lead all receivers.
1977 Pioneer 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 sprint to the three-yard line, scored on a short run to make

G the score 14-0 following Danny Kemp’s second of three extra points. Florida A&M came back to close the gap to 14-7 on a 19-yard pass from Steve Scruggs to Al Sykes, but Jax State wrapped it up minutes later on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Doc Lett to Terry Owens. Jax State only attempted 11 passes, completing four for the night. The trip was very enjoyable for the Gamecocks as they took a short vacation following the game. The team was headquartered on Miami Beach.
1955 Refrigerator Bowl Jacksonville State’s fourth trip was probably it’s finest. Jax State whipped Rhode Island, 12-10, in the Refrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Indiana. The hero of the game had to be Billy Hicks. Jax State’s 235-pound fullback. Jacksonville State had to come from behind twice to take the victory, 3-0 and 10-6. Hicks accounted for 58 of the 70 yards on the first Jax State touchdown scoring drive, scoring from the one, while reserve fullback Chester Skates crashed across from the one with three minutes left in the game to give the victory to the Alabama visitors.

1949 Paper Bowl A second trip to the Paper Bowl was extra sweet to the Gamecocks of Jacksonville State. Not only did the Gamecocks hang up their second bowl win, but in the process, avenged an early season loss to Livingston. The Gamecocks, led by the running and passing of Terry Hodges and the pass receiving of John Meadows, whipped Livingston, 12-7. Hodges rolled up 103 yards rushing on 13 trips and fired two touchdown passes to Meadows covering 38 and 35 yards. For the game, Jax State had 130 yards rushing and 120 passing
1948 Paper Bowl Jacksonville State’s first bowl trip in history was a pleasant one for the Gamecocks. Coach Don Sall’s charges whipped rival Troy State, 19-0, in the first annual Paper Bowl in Pensacola, Fla.
Rhode Island went into the game heavily favored to take the game, but Coach Don Salls’ charges had different ideas. Bill Clark’s interception set up the final Jax State touchdown, which began at the Rams’ nine-yard line.
Robert Williams, Blackie Heath and Gordon Terry led the Gamecocks 77 yards early in the game for a quick 6-0 lead. Later, Heath pass six yards to L.C. Garner and John Smith returned an interception 25 yards for the final 12 points. A sellout crowd was on hand for the game.
1950 Paper Bowl Jacksonville State returned to the Paper Bowl for a third straight time in 1950, the final time as the bowl game was dropped later, but it wasn’t as successful as the first two trips to Pensacola, Fla. The Gamecocks, playing a fine Pensacola Cards Navy team, fell 7-6 as Jax State failed to convert its extra point attempt. Charles Stough, Gamecock quarterback, ran 12 yards for the only Jax score, but the PAT attempt was short and in the end, it proved to be the difference in the game.

But for Jacksonville State’s defense it was fourth and forever. There Chuck Robinson could be no next year for the Gamecocks, no second chance.

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 cannot defend. The Gamecocks enter a compliance period on the way to reclassification to Division I-AA. “If its all right with you,” said Jacksonville State 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 as 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 one came on a 38-yard Hutchins 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 off 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 one 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, so on their final drive, they needed a touchdown, for a field goal wouldn’t be good enough for a tie. “We have the option of going for two if we outnumbered them on one side.” Broyels, said, “We haven’t done it since 1985, but it is the quarterback’s call.” This time the JSU defense dragged Moore down short

G and the comeback started. “Our players never slowed down,” Burgess said, “never gave up.” It was too early to panic so Jacksonville State chipped away. They drove to the Pitt 18, but two penalties stalled the drive and a Slade Stinnett field goal from 42 yards out cut the lead in half with 12:35 left in the second. The Gamecocks chose to kick short this time, keeping the ball out of Moore’s hands, but gave Pitt the Ball just 52 yards from the goal. Seven Plays later Hutchins hit a diving Staten and it was a 13-3 game. It was Jacksonville State the rest of the way, heroes divided equally between offense and defense. The Gamecocks went on a 15 play, 78-yard drive the consumed

said, “I saw him (Klinge) look up for the ball, and I looked up. The quarterback kind of floated it, and I was able to get a hand on it and knock it down.”
Then on the first possession of the second half the scoring ended. Jax State drove 71-yards on just 8 plays. Richardson went the final 5 and Stinnett kicked to make it 17-13. Stinnett could have provided a cushion, but just missed field goal tries from 36 yards out and again from 43. Pitt got its last show with 2:41 left when Jacksonville missed by two inches on fourth down at the Pitt 23, and the defense had it’s back against forever.
So the frustration ended for Jacksonville State. In three previous championship games, dating to 1977, the Gamecocks had been shut out twice and had scored a grand total of six points in championship games. They lost to Lehigh 33-0, to Mississippi College 3-0,and to Pittsburg State 23-6. This time the tears were tears of joy, and the hugs were celebration instead of consolation.
Nine plays and 3 first downs later it was fourth down at the Jacksonville 22 with 29 seconds left. Shad Klinge went into the end zone, and Jacksonville’s King went with him. “I was lucky to get to it,” King

From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school. The Normal School remained in operation until 1930, when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The name again changed to Jacksonville State College in 1957 when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.
