2014 SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALL Sun Belt sets win record vs. Non-Conference Foes The Sun Belt Conference’s 21 non-conference wins in the 2013 season eclipsed the previous record mark of 19 set in 2012. Additionally, of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the nonAQ BCS ranks during the 2013 season. The Sun Belt finished the year a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences. Sun Belt Membership The Sun Belt Conference will contest the 2014 football season with 11 members – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. UALR and UT Arlington compete as non-football playing members. The Sun Belt will have four new members in the league this year as Appalachian State and Georgia Southern were added as all-sports members and Idaho and New Mexico State were added as football playing members. Both Appalachian State and Georgia Southern bring with them highly successful football programs and each team will begin the process of transitioning to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) immediately. The 2014 Sun Belt football season will mark the debut of both in the league schedule and standings. Additionally, both the Mountaineers and Eagles will be able to compete for the league championship in football for the 2014 season. Both teams will first be eligible to compete in a spot for a postseason bowl game come the 2015 season. Idaho and New Mexico State are familiar partners of the Sun Belt Conference, having been football members from the league’s inaugural year of football in 2001 through the 2004 season. Both members played an integral part of forming the Sun Belt Conference for football and now add strength to the league. Both teams will be immediately eligible to compete for the Sun Belt football championship and also for a spot in postseason bowl games. Sun Belt Undefeated in 2013 Bowl Games - Ragin’ Cajuns Win Third Consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl; Red Wolves Win Second Consecutive GoDaddy Bowl The 2013 football season saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl. The Red Wolves won their second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl by defeating Ball State 23-20. The previous season the Red Wolves defeated Kent State in the annual bowl game played in Mobile. The Red Wolves have made three consecutive appearances in the game, having lost to Northern Illinois in their first appearance. The Ragin’ Cajuns closed the 2013 football season with a 9-4 record that included a share of the 2013 Sun Belt Conference title and a 24-21 win over Tulane in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

Sun Belt Conference Bowl Games The Sun Belt Conference maintains primary bowl tie-ins with the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl and the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl. A team from the Sun Belt Conference has played in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl since its inception in 2001. The SBC has won five consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl games and seven out of the last eight. The GoDaddy bowl matches teams from the Sun Belt Conference and Mid-American Conference. Arkansas State has helped lead the Sun Belt to two consecutive wins in the GoDaddy Bowl. The Camellia Bowl will match-up the Sun Belt Conference against the Mid-American Conference beginning in December 2014. The game will be played yearly at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., before the Christmas holiday and be televised nationally on ESPN or ESPN2. Come 2015, the Cure Bowl will feature a team from the Sun Belt Conference against the American Athletic Conference. The game will be played yearly at the newly renovated Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., the weekend before the Christmas holiday. The Cure Bowl is the first of its kind to combine the passions of college football with the goal of supporting breast cancer research. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. The Sun Belt Conference will also be part of the rotation for the newly created Bahamas Bowl and Miami Beach Bowl.

2014 SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALL Karl Benson Commissioner Since being named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on February 16, 2012, Karl Benson has helped reinvigorate the Sun Belt with his optimism, energy and enthusiasm. His vigor and forward thinking have often been called upon during his tenure – perhaps best exemplified when he hit the ground running in the spring of 2012. Benson quickly set the tone for the future of the Sun Belt Conference by adding Georgia State, UT Arlington and Texas State to the league after only being in his post for several weeks. In May of 2012 Benson had begun to further shape the Sun Belt Conference by promoting the league’s rebranding efforts. Sure enough only a year later, the Sun Belt had unveiled a new logo and new mantra “Together We Rise” - that is in line with that optimistic attitude that Benson has become so well-known for. Further solidifying the place of the Sun Belt Conference, Benson helped lead the Karl Benson (right) was formally introduced as the Sun Belt Conference’s fifth Commissioner league to the additions of Appalachian State at the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Basketball Championships by Troy University Chancellor Dr. and Georgia Southern as all-sports members Jack Hawkins Jr. and Idaho and New Mexico State as football playing members.

Scott Satterfield, who has spent 18 of the last 23 years at Appalachian State University as a student-athlete and coach, is in his second year at the helm of Appalachian State’s football program. Satterfield has enjoyed success at every stop of his 21-year playing and coaching career, most notably in his 18 seasons at Appalachian State. In his 18 seasons as a player (1991-95), assistant coach (1998-2008, 2012) and now head coach, he has helped lead the Mountaineers to three national titles, eight Southern Conference championships and played a large role in virtually re-writing the program’s offensive record book. Despite posting an un-Appalachian State-like 4-8 record in 2013, the program showed signs of promise in Satterfield’s first season at the helm. The short-handed Mountaineers struggled to a 1-6 start but rebounded to win three of their final five games, including a 38-14 rout over future Sun Belt Conference rival Georgia Southern. Appalachian’s only losses during the five-game stretch run were a hard-fought 35-28 defeat at the hands of SoCon co-champion Chattanooga and a 45-6 loss at Georgia, a game that the Mountaineers led early and trailed just 17-6 late in the third quarter. Other bright spots in Satterfield’s first season as a head coach included quarterback Kameron Bryant, who set school records for single-season completion percentage (.712) and passing yards by a sophomore (2,713) despite not making his debut as a starter until the fifth game of the season, a running back Marcus Cox, who set Appalachian State freshman records with 1,250 rushing yards and 21 total touchdowns as a true freshman. Utilizing a 3-4 scheme installed by new defensive coordinator Nate Woody, Appalachian’s defense was also an improved unit in Satterfield’s first season at the helm, as the Mountaineers surrendered fewer points, rushing yards and total yards than they did in 2012. After a three-year stint away from his alma mater, Satterfield returned to Appalachian State in January 2012 as the Mountaineers’ assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Despite inheriting a unit that managed just 390.2 yards per game in 2011 (Appalachian’s lowest production in eight seasons), lost three players that would go on to play in the NFL and returned only five starters, the Mountaineer offense flourished under Satterfield’s direction in 2012. Appalachian State ranked among the nation’s top 25 in total offense, passing efficiency, passing yardage and scoring and, for the first time in school history, produced a 3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and 1,000-yard receiver in the same season. Prior to his return to Appalachian, Satterfield spent one season as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Toledo (2009) and two as the offensive coordinator at Florida International (2009-10). In his only season at Toledo, the Rockets ranked 20th nationally in passing (278.5 yards per game) and 14th in total offense (438.3 ypg), averages that were 89 and 104 yards better than the season prior to his arrival.

Blake Anderson, a 13-year coaching veteran at the NCAA FBS level who also coached in an NJCAA National Championship game, was named the Red Wolves’ 30th all-time head football coach on Dec. 19, 2013. “It’s with great excitement that we are announcing Blake Anderson as our head football coach,” said Mohajir. ”Blake’s outstanding credentials as a coach are well documented, but it was also very apparent to us during this search process that he is a quality person who wants to be at Arkansas State, cares about his players and is committed to their success both on and off the field. I’m confident that we’ve found the right head coach for Arkansas State at the right time as we build on our success and continue to develop a strong national brand.” “Obviously, I’m ecstatic to be here at Arkansas State,” said Anderson. “This program’s recent accomplishments are very impressive. There is a great tradition here and the fan base is outsanding, so my family and I are excited to be a part of all the wonderful things happening with Arkansas State.” Working on head coach Larry Fedora’s staff as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at both North Carolina and Southern Miss over the last four seasons, Anderson’s dynamic offense helped lead the two programs to 34 victories, three bowl game appearances and two conference or divisional titles. Along the way, his potent offense was responsible for breaking both school’s total offense records while also ranking among the most productive teams in the nation. “Blake is an energetic leader, and I am excited about what he brings to Arkansas State,” said Arkansas State University Chancellor Dr. Tim Hudson. “We talk about A-State as a destination university; a place that not just students, but also where talented faculty and staff want to advance their careers. Blake wanted to become a part of that vision. Another important factor is his family. When we select a coach, we also know that we are inviting their family to become a part of the Red Wolves and they are thrilled about being one of us.” The Hubbard, Texas native comes to A-State after spending the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Carolina, where he helped lead the Tar Heels to an Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division title in 2012 and the Belk Bowl in 2013. Under Anderson’s direction, North Carolina averaged 432.4 total yards per game this season after setting the school record the previous year with 485.6 yards per contest. Prior to his arrival in Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels had not averaged 400 yards in a season since 1993.

Georgia Southern Director of Athletics Tom Kleinlein announced on January 10, 2014, the hiring of Willie Fritz as the ninth head football coach in the program’s modern history. A proven winner with more than 30 years of coaching experience, Fritz led Sam Houston State to back-to-back Southland Conference titles, NCAA FCS championship appearances in 2011 and 2012, and a third-straight playoff berth this past year. In 21 years as a head coach, Fritz owns a 72.3 winning percentage with a record of 176-67-1 and more than a few trophies for his accomplishments at the national, regional and conference levels. The Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year at the FCS level in 2012, Fritz was recognized nationally in 2011 as the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Coach of the Year. Honored as the AFCA Regional Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2012, Fritz was selected by the media and his peers in the Southland Conference as the league’s Coach of the Year in 2011 after his team went a perfect 7-0 in conference play. In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State posted the two highest single-season win totals in program history with marks of 14-1 (2011) and 11-4 (2012) and Bearkat players were showered with accolades. More than 50 earned All-Southland Conference honors under Fritz in the last four years, not including additional “Player of the Year,” “Offensive Player of the Year,” “Defensive Player of the Year,” and “Newcomer of the Year” awards. All-America status from national coaching and media outlets was bestowed on 11 Sam Houston State players during his tenure. Fritz comes to Georgia Southern after four years as the head coach of the Bearkats and his most recent of three total tours in Huntsville. His resume includes a wealth of experience across the board, notably as a coach with an innate ability to connect with his players, demand accountability and build winning programs. After a highly successful tenure at Blinn College, averaging nearly 10 wins a season during his four years there, Fritz left to revitalize a Central Missouri program and guided it to 11 winning seasons. The NCAA Division II program’s ledger included two 10-win seasons with the 2001 Mule squad earning its first postseason trip in more than 30 years. In 2002, Central Missouri made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs and was the Mid-America Athletic Association (MIAA) co-champion a year later. A 97-47 mark in 13 seasons ranks Fritz as the winningest coach in the program’s 118-year history. He was the only coach to ever win seven or more games in eight consecutive seasons and his victory total ranked him 15th among active Division II coaches at the time.

A proven program-builder, Trent Miles was introduced as Georgia State’s second head football coach on Dec. 3, 2012 and charged with the task of building the fledgling program as it jumped to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and the Sun Belt Conference. Miles, a former assistant coach at Stanford, Notre Dame and Washington, demonstrated the ability to build a winning program in five seasons as the head coach at Indiana State. The remarkable rebuilding job he did there earned notice, and Georgia State President Mark P. Becker and Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick jumped at the chance to bring Miles to Atlanta following the retirement of Bill Curry, the program’s head coach from its inception in 2008. Taking over a Georgia State program that had been playing football for just three seasons, Miles immediately began to lay the foundation to enable the Panthers to compete at the highest level of college football. Miles and his staff are building the program through recruiting, player development and the establishment of a winning culture, all within the framework of a strong family atmosphere. “We are committed to building this program into one that competes for championships on the field and in the classroom,” Miles said upon his hiring. “We will strive to represent our student body, alumni and the state of Georgia with character and integrity.” Despite playing at the FBS level for the first time with an undermanned roster, Miles’ first Georgia State team showed progress throughout the 2013 season. Taking Miles’ mantra of “Pounding the Rock” to heart, the Panthers earned respect for their hard-nosed play and competitiveness throughout a challenging season. Under Miles’ tutelage, wide receiver and return specialist Albert Wilson earned all-conference and All-America recognition with a record-setting season in 2013. Following the season, Wilson became the first Georgia State player to earn an invitation to the prestigious National Football League Scouting Combine and signed a free agent contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Miles also helped develop Ulrick John into an NFL prospect as the offensive tackle was drafted in the seventh round by the Indianapolis Colts, becoming the second draft pick in Georgia State’s brief history. Miles’ emphasis on the total development of his student-athletes was in evidence as the Panthers earned the Sun Belt Conference’s team academic award as the football program with highest grade point average in the league. Miles’ first head-coaching job was at his alma mater, Indiana State, where he took over a struggling program that had won just one game in the three seasons before his arrival in 2008. But it took just three years for him to produce a winning season, the first of three straight winning campaigns for Miles in Terre Haute. After leading his 2010 Sycamores to a 6-5 mark for the school’s first winning record since 1996, Miles was recognized as Missouri Valley Football Conference Coach of the Year. He was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award and the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year honor. Miles guided ISU to another winning season in 2011 and then a 7-4 record in 2012, including a 5-3 mark in the MVFC. No Sycamore team had won more games since the 1984 squad on which Miles played, and the school’s run of three straight winning seasons under Miles was the longest in Terre Haute since ISU had six straight from 1964-69.

From the minute he arrived on the University of Idaho campus, Paul Petrino infused the Vandals with an intensity that reverberated around the Kibbie Dome and throughout the Vandal Family. His practices mirror his personality – focused, intense and determined. In his first season back at Idaho, he took the Vandals against a schedule that featured not only the eventual national champion, but a total of seven bowl teams, which included four teams that, at one time or another, were ranked among the nation’s top 25. While the Vandals didn’t finish with the win-loss mark he would have liked, his first class of recruits showed it can provide the base for a bright Vandal future. Dezmon Epps, who came to Idaho from City College of San Francisco, finished the season tied for 24th nationally in receptions per game and was 42nd in receiving yards per game. Epps added almost 500 more yards on punt and kickoff returns to have the third-best all-purpose rushing season by a Vandal since 2000 and the 50th best in the nation on 2013. Petrino also had his first Vandal All-American in punter Austin Rehkow, whose record-setting season earned him a spot on the Walter Camp All-American team. A true freshman, Rehkow’s average of 47.8 yards per kick is an NCAA record for a freshman as well as the overall record for a player who punted at least 75 times in one season. Petrino’s next challenge begins this season when he takes the Vandals back to the Sun Belt Conference after one season as an FBS independent. Coaching football is in Petrino’s blood. Tagging along with his dad, Bob Petrino, Sr., as he coached the Carroll College (Montana) Saints into national prominence, Petrino knew from the time he was six years old he wanted to coach. He played for his dad at Carroll and was the Football Gazette NAIA Division II Player of the Year and a two-time Kodak All-American quarterback after setting 16 school records during a career that included four conference titles and a 36-6 record from 1985-88. “I’ve wanted to be a head coach my whole life,” said Petrino when he was hired and in numerous interviews since. “This is what I’ve wanted to do since I was six years old.” He’s paid his dues – and along the way has put together a résumé of success and envisions doing it at Idaho, where his Division I coaching career began. He was clear in his mission when he was hired: “We want to win a whole bunch of games and go to bowls.”

Mark Hudspeth is a winner. It’s that simple. From his days coaching Winston (Miss.) Academy to the 1997 state title to December, 2013 when he provided Ragin’ Cajun fans a thrilling 24-21 win over Tulane for the program’s third consecutive bowl victory in as many seasons, Hudspeth has been a champion. Like football, winning is all he knows. Hired as UL Lafayette’s 26th head coach in program history on Dec. 13, 2010, Hudspeth quickly grabbed the attention of Ragin’ Cajuns fans with his dynamic personality, energy and desire. He tirelessly toured the Acadiana area, visiting all five parishes to speak to any group that wanted to listen to him talk about Ragin’ Cajuns football. And seemingly overnight, he reversed UL’s football fortunes, taking the Ragin’ Cajuns from nine losses in 2010 to a school-record tying nine wins in his first three seasons. He is 27-12 in his three seasons, including a 14-2 record in home games and a 5-1 mark against in-state opponents. More importantly, the Cajuns have produced in the classroom. In the seven semesters under Hudspeth, the Cajuns have turned in six of the best semesters academically since grades were tracked in 1982. From the day he arrived on campus, Hudspeth began educating the Ragin’ Cajuns on how to win. One of the first lessons he gave came when he had the offense and defense engage in an old-fashioned tug of war. As the rope went back and forth with neither team generating enough force to win the battle, Hudspeth stopped the Cajuns and had both teams move to the same side of the rope, pointing out how much easier it is to move the rope when everyone was on the same side and fighting for the same thing. Months later in New Orleans with UL Lafayette down a point with 35 seconds left and a seemingly endless length of Superdome turf away from even having a chance to win, the Ragin’ Cajuns remembered that lesson by digging in and driving 49 yards in five plays to set up Brett Baer’s game-winning 50yard field goal as time expired. The development of the Cajuns in the three seasons under Hudspeth has been dramatic. UL Lafayette has posted the best three-year record in program history that was culminated with three consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl victories. With three bowl victories in the past three seasons, the Cajuns are one of six schools nationally to accomplish that feat joining elite programs Florida State, Michigan State, Oregon, South Carolina and Texas A&M. Hudspeth also boldly predicted that home games at Cajun Field would be the place to be and all but demanded that fans be there. True to his word, the Ragin’ Cajuns have gone 14-2 at home in his three seasons and attendance has risen with seven of the top 15 attendance marks in Cajun Field history occurring under his tenure. In two of Hudspeth’s first three seasons, the Cajuns have led the Sun Belt Conference in average attendance while posting the two highest single-season marks in school history, highlighted by a single-season average of 29,171 fans in 2011.

Todd Berry, a 31-year coaching veteran, is in his fifth season as the head coach of the Warhawk football Team. Berry, who served as the offensive coordinator from 2004-05, returned to Monroe in December 2009 when he was hired as the program’s 14th head coach. Berry guided the Warhawks to bowl eligiblity for the second straight season in 2013 and it marked the first time in the FBS-era that ULM was bowl eligiblity in back-to-back seasons. The Warhawks picked up their first-ever win over an Atlantic Coast Conference school with a 21-19 win at Wake Forest. Isaiah Newsome did something that just three other players in FBS history had accomplished before him as the safety returned to interceptions for scores, both of 70 or more yards, in the win at Texas State. Aside from Newsome, the only other players in FBS history to accomplish the rare feat were: USC’s Charles Phillips vs. Iowa (1974; 98 yards, 83 yards), Virginia Tech’s Ashley Lee vs. Vanderbilt (1983; 94 yards, 88 yards) and Cal Stat Fullerton’s Tony Williams at San Jose State (1988; 92 yards, 86 yards). Newsome’s big day earned him a total of 11 awards, three national, and a spot at No. 5 on ESPN Sportscenter’s Top Plays. At season’s end, the Warhawks had a total of eight players earn All-Sun Belt Conference honors, including first-team honorees, Josh Allen, Justin Manton and Isaiah Newsome. In four seasons under Berry, the Warhawks have had 27 players named to the All-Sun Belt team. Berry was honored as the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year after he guided the Warhawks to an FBS-era best eight wins. Kolton Browning was named the league’s offensive player of the year, while Brent Leonard highlighted a group of eight all-conference selections as he was tabbed first team all-conference. Brent Leonard became the first Warhawk to have 80 receptions in a single season (with 104) and he finished his Warhawk career at the top of the receptions list with 209. Meanwhile, Kolton Browning became the new leader in career touchdown passes as he finished 2012 with 60 career TD passes. Browning also set new single season records in completions (273) and passing yards (3,049), while tying the single-year mark with 29 touchdown passes. In all, ULM set 45 new records over the course of the 2012 campaign The Warhawks burst onto the national scene with a 34-31 overtime win over then-No. 8 Arkansas. ULM trailed 28-7 in the third quarter before it rallied for the win and garnered Tostitos National Team of the Week honors. Upcoming opponents also took note of the Warhawks’ upset win, including Auburn cornerback T’Sharvan Bell. “We’re going to face America’s favorite team right now, this week,” Bell stated during game week. The Warhawks continued to have the eyes of the country on them with close losses at Auburn and against Baylor. ULM opened the conference season 4-0 to improve to 6-2 overall and reach bowl eligibility for the first time since 2009. ULM’s historic season culminated with its first-ever bowl game as the Warhawks battled the Ohio Bobcats in the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 28, 2012.

Doug Martin begins his second season at the helm of the NM State football program in 2014. Martin and the Aggies played as an independent team during Martin’s inaugural season at NM State and will play as a member of the Sun Belt Conference in 2014. Martin was officially announced as the Aggies’ 34th head football coach on Feb. 1, 2013, after the departure of former head coach DeWayne Walker to the NFL. Martin was no stranger to the NM State program as he was the Aggie offensive coordinator under Walker in 2011. NM State went 2-10 in 2013 during Martin’s first season as head coach after playing one of the toughest schedules in the school’s history. The Aggies faced five teams that had participated in a bowl game the previous season while also playing two teams ranked in the top 15 in the nation. NM State kicked off the season with a trip to Austin, Texas, to face the 15th-ranked Texas Longhorns and also made a trip to Los Angeles during the season to play No. 13 UCLA. The Aggies’ home schedule included games versus Minnesota, which was the first school out of the Big Ten to play at Aggie Memorial Stadium, and Boston College, which was the first school out of the Atlantic Coast Conference to make a trip to Las Cruces. The Aggies averaged 20.9 points per game and 382.2 yards per game in 2013, including 141.8 yards per game on the ground and 240.5 yards per game through the air. The team had a season-high 224 yards rushing against Abilene Christian on Oct. 26 and a season-high 380 yards passing and receiving versus Boston College on Nov. 9. Martin’s influence and system began to take shape during the final five games of the season as NM State went 2-3 in those games and had fourth-quarter chances for a win in two of the three losses. Martin would start making an impact on the squad as soon as he accepted the head coaching position. Before the season began, the Aggies had four players placed on six different preseason watch lists, the most for any NM State football team in the school’s history. NM State also had 12 players honored on the College Sports Madness Independent Preseason All-Conference team and 11 players on the Phil Steele College Football Preview All-Independent team. During the season, senior safety Davis Cazares was nominated as a Bulsworth Trophy finalist, honoring the most outstanding collegiate football player who began his career as a walk-on.

Results
Coming off a 2-11 campaign and playing its first season as an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision school, prospects were not great for the University of South Alabama football program. Picked to finish seventh out of eight teams in the Sun Belt Conference preseason poll, instead the Jaguars tied for third with a 4-3 mark and won six games to achieve bowl eligibility. For his efforts in guiding the team well above those expectations, USA head coach Joey Jones was voted the league’s Coach of the Year. Jones — who has a 31-21 record in five seasons at the helm of the program — led the Jags to victories over both participants in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, including a 30-8 defeat of conference co-champion UL Lafayette in the season finale as USA ended the year with a three-game winning streak. And five of the Jaguars’ six losses were decided by seven points or less, with the team advancing into the red zone in the final minutes at Tennessee before falling by a touchdown and three other contests decided in the final seven seconds or later. Following the season, 10 Jags picked up all-Sun Belt honors including four first-team selections. USA gained nearly 100 more yards per outing offensively, ranking in the top half of the conference with over 425 yards per game, and once again was among the top units in the league on the other side of the ball after finishing second in passing, total and scoring defense. Off the field, 34 Jaguars recorded a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher during the season, and Rush Hendricks was a first-team CoSIDA academic all-district selection. In 2012, the Jaguars’ first competing in the SBC, the program had four individuals earn all-league honors paced by first-team selection Jake Johnson, the leading tackler in the conference who guided a unit that ranked second in yards allowed per outing and was first in red zone defense. USA picked up its first-ever Sun Belt victory with a 37-34 come-from-behind double-overtime win over Florida Atlantic Homecoming weekend, while also dropping onescore decisions at league champion Arkansas State and against runner-up Middle Tennessee. At the end of the year, Johnson and B.J. Scott were invited to participate in both the Senior Bowl and NFLPA Collegiate Bowl all-star contests while Trey Clark was honored for his work in the classroom by being the first individual in program history selected to CoSIDA’s Capital One Academic All-America team. In the classroom, 25 Jaguars posted a 3.0 grade-point average or better during the 2012 campaign — including 12 who made the Dean’s List — with those numbers increasing to 41 and 15, respectively, during the spring semester. Just 22 months after taking over the reins of the school’s start-up football venture, Jones helped lead the Jags to an undefeated record in its first-ever season on the field in 2009. And not only did USA go 7-0 against a schedule that included four high-level prep programs, two top-20 junior colleges and a qualifier for the NCAA Division III playoffs, but it outscored the opposition 321-41 while never trailing at any point during the season.

A proven winner who has a history of turning around underachieving programs, Dennis Franchione began his latest project in January 2011, when he returned to Texas State and began the process of leading the Bobcats in their transition to the NCAA Division I FBS Subdivision. Now, he is in the fourth season of his second term as Texas State’s head coach and leading the Bobcats into their second season as a member of the Sun Belt Conference. Franchione enters his 29th season, and is one of four active NCAA Division I FBS head coaches with over 200 wins after reaching that plateau in 2013. He enters the 2014 campaign with a 203-121-2 career record, including a 29-29 mark as head coach at Texas State. Prior to his return to Texas State, Franchione led his teams to nine conference championships and had the best divisional record during another season. In addition, his teams played in nine bowl games, four NAIA playoff games and one NCAA Division II playoff contest. His collegiate head-coaching career began at Southwestern College in 1981, when he compiled a 14-4-2 record in two seasons. In 1982, the Builders won nine games, a Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference championship and beat Oklahoma Panhandle State 15-0 in the Sunflower Bowl. It was Southwestern College’s first bowl game and the nine victories tied the school’s single-season record that was previously set in 1967. . Following the record-setting season, Franchione went to Tennessee Tech, where he served as the offensive coordinator in 1983 and 1984 before being named head coach at his alma mater, Pittsburg State. During the next five seasons, he led the Gorillas to a 53-6 record and four Central States Intercollegiate Conference championships and one Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association title with a combined record of 37-1. He was named the NAIA National Coach of the Year twice. His teams tied the school record with 11 victories in a season three times before breaking it with a 12-win campaign in 1989 when Pittsburg State joined the NCAA Division II ranks. In 1990, Franchione took the reins of Texas State’s football program for the first time. He led the Bobcats to a 6-5 record in his first year, and that was Texas State’s first winning record as a member of the Southland Conference, the first winning season as a Division I FCS member and first winning season since 1984. The following year, Franchione led the Bobcats to their second straight winning season, a feat that was not duplicated until Texas State had back-to-back winning seasons in 2008 and 2009. After compiling a 13-9 record at Texas State during those two years, Franchione joined the NCAA Division I FBS head coaching ranks for the first time when he took over New Mexico’s program.

Seventh among active coaches in career victories and second among active coaches in victories at his current school, it is safe to say that Larry Blakeney has cemented his name in the annals of college football. A member of the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame (inaugural class) and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, the legendary coach had the playing surface in Veterans Memorial Stadium named in his honor in the spring of 2011. The home field at Troy University will now, and forever, be known as Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Entering his 24th season in 2014, Blakeney, quite simply, has been a winner throughout his career. Blakeney has been at the forefront of the move of the entire Troy University athletics program from the ranks of Division II, through Division I-AA (Football Championship Subdivision) and into Division I-A (Football Bowl Subdivision). He has run a program that is based on integrity and has been regularly recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for high graduation rates. Throughout his career, Blakeney has been recognized by his peers, by the people he has worked for and with, and by the sporting community at large. He has been named to four separate Halls of Fame, has been named Coach of the Year on numerous occasions and gives generously of his time to almost any group or organization who asks for it. But his impact on Troy athletics goes beyond wins and losses. Yes, the Trojans have captured eight conference titles during his tenure. Yes, the Trojans have literally sent scores of players on to successful careers as professional football players. But the Troy football program has sent thousands of men on to successful lives away from football. Many of the players who have come to Troy to play for Blakeney never had a positive male role model in their lives. That changes when they become Trojans. Even with all of the obligations and responsibilities that come with the job, if you ask any player who has taken the field for the Trojans over the last 23 years, they will tell you that he is a playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach. He cares about the young men who play for him, and not just during their time at Troy. From his time as a quarterback at Auburn University, to his highly successful high school coaching career, from his 14 years as an assistant coach at his alma mater when the Tigers enjoyed an unprecedented run of success to his now 23 seasons at Troy University, Blakeney has always been associated with a job well done. His tenure at Troy University has been nothing less than remarkable. During his 23 years, he has led the Trojans to a 175-104-1 record, posting the third-best winning percentage among all programs in the state of Alabama during that span. TOGETHER WE RISE > 77
