LIBERTY BOWL MEMORIAL STADIUM The University of Memphis football program is fortunate to have one of the finest facilities in the nation in which to play its home games. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, “built by the citizens of Memphis,” is a memorial to the veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The renovated 61,000-seat facility, built in 1965 at a cost of $3.7 million by the city of Memphis, is operated by the Memphis Park Services Department. The Tigers inaugurated the stadium in the fall of 1965 and in 47 years, have compiled a 143-132-7 record in the Liberty Bowl. The stadium features an AstroTurf® playing surface, spacious locker rooms and a four-level press box which features a VIP stadium club. The playing surface, which had been natural grass through the 2004 season, was replaced with a FieldTurf surface prior to the 2005 campaign. For the 2012 season, the surface changes to AstroTurf® that is used in several FBS collegiate and NFL stadiums. The field surface upgrade is a part of major renovations to the stadium for 2012. The centerpiece of the 2012 renovations at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is a $2.5 million video scoreboard and sound system. A generous donation provided by Fed Ex to the U of M paved the way for the video board/sound system upgrades, which are scheduled to be unveiled at the Tigers’ 2012 season opener. The new video boards replace the south and north end zone scoreboards. The south end zone features a 98x48-foot, state-ofthe-art video board with a sound system located on the sides of the structure. The speakers and cap/or crown of the scoreboard makes the structure’s actual size grow to 106 feet by 58 feet. According to available statistics, the board will be one of the top-10 largest video boards in the nation. The north end zone will also be updated with an LED board that will be 38x10 feet in size. The north board will also have full video capability, and like the larger board, will offer fans a wide variety of game statistics. In addition to the $850,000 Field Turf playing surface for the 2005 season, the Liberty Bowl underwent several aesthetic changes the last six years (2005-11) that made the stadium look more like the “Home of the Tigers.” Prior to the start of the 2006 season, Jim McDonald of McDonald Outdoor provided several large photo wraps on the walls of the stadium’s entrances to welcome Tigers fans. Graphics wraps were unveiled around the stadium’s interior in 2008, and a face-lift project for the stadium’s restrooms on the lower concourse was completed prior to the start of the season. A major renovation project took place at the Liberty Bowl prior to the start of the 2009 season when the Tigers and visitors’ locker rooms both underwent makeovers. The most notable change was the separation of the two locker rooms in the north tunnel. The Tigers’ locker room remained in the north tunnel, while the visitors’ locker room moved to the stadium’s south tunnel. In addition, renovations were completed to bring the stadium into compliance with ADA specifications which lowered the stadium’s capacity from 62,380 to approximately 61,000. In the spring of 2010, the Memphis City Council approved a $15.7 million capital improvements budget to upgrade

State (2011) the grounds surrounding the Liberty Bowl. Included in the renovations was the construction of a grand entrance off East Parkway which City Council approved naming “Tiger Lane” in honor of the facility’s longest tenant — the University of Memphis. “Tiger Lane” officially opened Sept. 18, 2010, when Memphis hosted Middle Tennessee. Prior to the recent upgrades in the 2000s, the previous major renovation came in 1987 to a tune of $19.5 million. Included in the 1987 facelift were the addition of the sky-suites located on the east side of the stadium, approximately 12,000 seats in the stands and a stadium club to accommodate donors. Other areas of the stadium also were vastly improved, including the lighting system, playing surface, handicap seating area, concession stands and restroom facilities. In December of 1983, city of Memphis officials named the playing surface Rex Dockery Field in honor of the late Tigers coach who was killed in a plane crash. The stadium also hosts the annual AutoZone Liberty Bowl Game, as well as the Southern Heritage Classic. In spring of 2011, the worldwide-known Memphis In May BBQ Contest was moved to “Tiger Lane” from Tom Lee Park on the Mississippi River as a result of flooding in that area. Throughout the 47-year history, several professional teams have called the Liberty Bowl home. In 1974, the Grizzlies of the World Football League played their only season in Memphis. From 1978-80, the stadium hosted the Memphis Rogues of the North American Soccer League, and later in 1984-85, the Showboats of the U.S. Football League (USFL). Three other professional football organizations spent one season in the Liberty Bowl, including the XFL’s Memphis Maniax (2001), the NFL’s Tennessee Oilers (1997) and the CFL’s Memphis Mad Dogs (1995). The largest crowd to witness a Tigers game at the Liberty Bowl was the record-setting 65,885 that attended Memphis’ 1996 stunning upset of No. 6 Tennessee. The Tigers defeated the Vols 21-17 before a CBS Sports regionally-televised audience. The entire nation, however, saw Memphis’ game-winning drive when CBS carried the final five minutes nationally. In 2004, Memphis hosted Louisville for a Thursday night ESPN broadcast. A crowd of 52,384 came out for the game, marking the largest Tigers crowd for a non-SEC opponent. That same season, Memphis set a home attendance record with an average of 41,175 fans per game (five games). The previous record was 40,622 in 2003 (seven games).

LISTEN TO ALL TIGERS FOOTBALL ACTION ON NEWSRADIO 600 WREC In 2006, the University of Memphis began a new broadcasting agreement with Clear Channel Radio, making NewsRadio 600 WREC the flagship station for all Tigers football and men’s basketball games through the 2010-11 season. The contract was renewed in the summer of 2011 and runs through the 2015-16 season. NewsRadio 6000 WREC is in its 89th year covering the Mid-South region as the station Memphis turns to for news. The flagship allows Tigers games to be broadcast in HD Digital. The 600 WREC signal allows broadcast to be heard as far as Jonesboro to the north, Little Rock to the west, and Oxford to the south. Dave Woloshin remains as play-by-play commentator for his 16th season. Woloshin, a well-known sports figure in Memphis, is in his 27th year of being associated with the Tigers broadcast team. He began with Tigers television broadcasts in 1986, and for the last 15 years, has handled the radio broadcast for Memphis football and basketball. Woloshin came to Memphis as the sports anchor for WHBQ-TV 13 in 1981. He handled play-by-play duties for the Memphis RiverKings and the Memphis Americans, Storm and Rogues soccer teams. Woloshin also worked with broadcast teams for ESPN and SportsChannel America and numerous high school football games of the week. Woloshin is married to the former Gayle Stein of Memphis. The couple has four children: Nathan, Jacob, Brett and Brendan. Wayne Weedon, who lettered for the University of Memphis football team in the 1970s, coached the Tigers defensive linemen in the 1980s under Chuck Stobart, and later served as athletics director for the Memphis City School System, joined the Memphis broadcast crew as a color commentator in 2011. A native of Selma, Ala., Weedon came to thenMemphis State University in 1976 and lettered for the defensive unit from 1977-79. Working as a defensive tackle and nose guard, Weedon registered 277 total tackles, four fumble recoveries, three pass breakups and one blocked kick during his career. He was the squad’s fourth-leading tackler as a senior with 112 stops and was named the Highland Hundred Most Valuable Player in 1979. Following graduation, Weedon returned to Alabama and worked in his family’s business for nine years, before returning to the U of M as a graduate assistant coach in the fall of 1989 under Stobart. After working with the defensive line coach for one season, Stobart elevated Weedon to a full-time position as line coach. He remained in that capacity for eight years, working under both Stobart and Rip Scherer. During his coaching tenure at Memphis, Weedon earned his master’s degree in athletic administration, a degree that served him well in his future endeavors as an administrator. In 1998, Weedon left the college football coaching profession and became athletics director for the Memphis City School System, a position he held until 2008. In 2009, he took a job with Sysco Memphis as a marketing associate and currently remains in that position.
Weedon and his wife, Dee, have two daughters, Katelyn and Emily. Native Memphian Forrest Goodman is entering his 14th season as the pregame/postgame host for the Memphis football and basketball broadcasts. Goodman, who is the assistant program director for 600 WREC, also serves as the host of the Justin Fuente and Josh Pastner radio call-in shows. Prior to joining the Tigers broadcast team in 1999, Goodman was the play-by-play voice of all sports for Delta State University and also spent 10 years handling high school football play-by-play. Goodman and his wife, Michelle, have a daughter, Abigail, and reside in Bartlett. Matt Dillon will serve as the football sideline reporter for an eighth-straight season. Dillon, who is in his 39th year working in the sports industry, also serves as the co-host of the Memphis pregame and postgame shows for football and basketball games on 600 WREC. He has hosted the shows for the last 10 years. In addition to his football duties, Dillon has handled the color analyst spot for Memphis basketball radio broadcasts since 2002-03. The 1973 Memphis graduate began his long broadcast association with Tigers sports when he did play-by-play for WKNO-TV from 1973-2001. In the 1980s, Dillon also served as an analyst on WMC and handled play-by-play duties on WPTY-TV for road contests. From 1995-2000, Dillon served in several capacities in broadcasting Tigers football and basketball, including hosting coaches shows in the late 1990s. Dillon and his wife, Marni, reside in Germantown. Jeff Brightwell, the “Voice of Tigers Baseball and Women’s Basketball,” serves as the broadcast team captain, handling the majority of the production and engineering duties. A 1996 Memphis graduate, Brightwell came to Memphis in 2003 after spending six years in Missouri. He has done play-by-play for Southeast Missouri State, Central Methodist College, Truman State, Moberly Community College and the Memphis RiverKings. The last nine years, the native Memphian has broadcast both home and away contests for Memphis baseball and women’s basketball on WUMR 91.7 FM. He also hosts a weekly Tigers update web show that is streamed through the Memphis Tiger Network on the athletics department website. Brightwell was named the College Baseball Foundation’s National Broadcaster of the Month in April 2005 and was honored as the Sportscaster of the Year in 2002 by the Missouri Broadcasters Association. He also serves as the public address announcer for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR - TOM BOWEN
MEDIA
Tom Bowen was named the University of Memphis Director of Athletics in an Apr. 16, 2012, press conference in the Penny Hardaway Athletics Hall of Fame assembly room. Bowen officially started work on the U of M campus in June. Bowen leads the Athletics Department at the University of Memphis after serving as the Athletics Director at San Jose State University (SJSU) since December 2004. “The search committee and I wanted someone who could continue the progress of Tiger Athletics developed over the last 16 years under the leadership of R.C. Johnson,” said University of Memphis President Dr. Shirley C. Raines. “Tom Bowen was the unanimous choice of the search committee. He was highly recommended as a man of integrity, ingenuity and competent leadership.” While at San Jose State, the core of Bowen’s mission was building a “Culture of Champions” academically, athletically and in the community. To reach that end, Bowen instilled a greater sense of purpose, commitment and execution from student-athletes, coaches, staff, alumni and friends. An integral member of the SJSU’s presidential staff, Bowen created and implemented short and long-term revenue streams for intercollegiate athletics. He led the Spartan Foundation — the department’s fundraising component — through consistently challenging and uncertain economic conditions to unprecedented fiscal heights at the university. The Spartans produced annual budget surpluses four-straight years under his direction and re-invested their gains back into their student-athletes and teams. In his first four football seasons (2005-08), San Jose State produced the most wins at the school since 1990-93. Last year, the Spartans were one of the most improved teams in the FBS with road wins at Colorado State and Fresno State and a home triumph in their first meeting with Navy. The 2006 through 2008 Spartans were the first three SJSU teams to post consecutive .500 or better records in the Western Athletic Conference football standings. The 2006 Spartans capped their finest season in many years, posting a 9-4 overall record and capturing the New Mexico Bowl championship. Recent athletics accomplishments add to his “Culture of Champions.” Women’s golf, women’s soccer, baseball and women’s swimming were the latest teams to win a Western Athletic Conference championship. Women’s water polo is a consistent top-10 national program. Women’s swimming finished 2008-09 with
the longest dual meet winning streak in Division I. Women’s gymnastics is entrenched as a NCAA Regional Championship qualifying team. Men’s basketball, men’s soccer and men’s golf have produced measurable gains, particularly in conference competition. The Spartans have earned All-America honors in football, women’s golf, baseball and women’s water polo. San Jose State had its first women’s gymnastics individual NCAA Regional champion in 2009. Twelve student-athletes were honored nationally and more than 100 at the conference level for academic achievements in 2009-10. Bowen’s vision for student-athlete success and excellence led to the creation of a Student Success Services component. Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores, as measured by the NCAA, have risen steadily and strikingly under his watch and were at a then university-best in 2009 and were surpassed in the 2010 report. In 2008, San Jose State was named as one of 12 Division I universities cited for Overall Excellence in Diversity in the most recent national study by Texas A&M University on behalf of the NCAA. Bowen’s proven administrative and managerial record at San Jose State has resulted in meaningful national appointments in college athletics. He served as one of eight Football Bowl Subdivision directors of athletics on the 24-member NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, an appointment that ended in 2011. In 2009, Bowen was one of 12 named to serve as a mentor to aspiring women and ethnic minority athletics administrators in the NCAA Fellows Leadership Program. He was the Tournament Director for the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Division I Championship first and second rounds games played in San Jose. Bowen joined the staff at San Jose State after serving three years as the Director of Community Affairs and the executive director of the 49ers Foundation for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League. He directed all of 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
the team’s fundraising activities and was responsible for alumni and current player participation in the community. His Division I experience at the collegiate level includes athletics administration positions at the University of California and Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif. As an assistant and associate director of athletics at California from July 2000 through September 2002, he was responsible for athletics fundraising. Bowen was credited with developing the first comprehensive planned giving program for the Golden Bears. At Saint Mary’s College, he was the Director of Foundations and Corporate Relations from May 1995 to January 1997, before being appointed to an associate director of athletics position by the president of the college. From January 1997 through April 2000, he managed the athletics department’s budget, directed a corporate sponsorship program and interacted with the academic senate, faculty and university personnel on student-athlete issues. His first professional leadership appointment in athletics was at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif. From 1987 through 1995, he held the positions of athletics director and assistant football coach. The 1983 graduate of the University of Notre Dame majored in theology/sociology and spent six years studying for the priesthood with the Holy Cross Fathers. Bowen went on to earn a master’s degree in administration/education from the University of San Francisco in 1990. Active throughout the entire Bay Area, he was named to the San Jose Mercury News’ Top-25 Most Powerful Sports Figures in the Bay Area. Bowen served on the board of the San Jose Sports Authority, and he was an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco School of Sports Management and at San Jose State University’s Department of Kinesiology, where he taught sports management classes. He is a Level 2 certified member of the College Athletic Business Management Association (CABMA) and has memberships in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. He and his wife, Mia, are the parents of three children: sons, Andrew and Peter, and daughter, McKenna.

CITY OF MEMPHIS
MEDIA
Considered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, has big city amenities with a smalltown feel. Whether you are a hardcore sports enthusiast, a history buff, a music aficionado, or you just like to relax and watch as boats travel the Mississippi River, Memphis has something for everyone. Downtown Memphis has continued to grow and thrive, and two of the most visible projects have been the construction of AutoZone Park and FedExForum. AutoZone Park is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The Memphis Tigers baseball team also plays some of its more high-profile opponents in the top-notch facility. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-squarefoot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis, and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival, which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul
music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. The Stax Museum reopened on its original location at McLemore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of “Soulsville USA.” One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most-visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. Also located downtown is the beautiful Orpheum Theater, which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling Broadway shows, as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day. Ranked by The Sporting News as one of the “Top 50 Sports Cities In the Country,” the city of Memphis is a large metropolitan city with a hometown feel. From its big-city industry such as FedEx and the Memphis International Airport 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
to its family recreation areas such as Shelby Farms and the Memphis Zoo, the city boasts all the amenities one would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town.

TIGERS TRADITIONS When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But, it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tigers nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. For nearly 40 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis has been a Bengal Tiger named TOM. TOM attends all Tigers football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year. TOM travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer and always with police escort. As one of only two universities in America with a live tiger mascot, The University of Memphis is unique in its tiger tradition. As a project of the Highland Hundred, no public or University funds are used to provide for TOM’s needs, and no University resources are required in his care. TOM is a powerful and majestic symbol of the University of Memphis, and his presence presents constant opportunities to educate Tigers fans young and old through the preservation of one of the world’s most recognizable endangered species.
The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred football boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on Nov. 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Ala. TOM II served his university with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on Oct. 15 of that year.

Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born Aug. 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on Nov. 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on Nov. 22 during a football game against the UCF.
THE LOGO The University of Memphis’ official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping Tiger coming out from behind the letter. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.”
SCHOOL COLORS The University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

CONFERENCE USA: COMPETITION LIVES HERE
SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 17 years, 169 student-athletes earned national Capital One Academic All-America honors, while 588 were named All-District. In addition, more than 22,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights and conference-produced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and that number keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all 12 C-USA member institutions’ athletics websites as well as C-USA network programming.
GOVERNANCE Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.

From its beginning in 1994, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. Entering the 2012-13 season, C-USA is home to 12 nationally-prominent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combination enhances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletics success and academic prowess. Together, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities. These C-USA institutions all sponsor FBS football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletics programs that compete regularly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 20 sports — nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball). The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport. SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

J U STIN F U E NT E M u r r ay S tat e , 1999 First Season
Justin Fuente was named the 23rd head coach of the Tigers program in a press conference held in the Penny Hardaway Athletics Hall of Fame on the Memphis campus on Dec. 8, 2011. Fuente takes on his first head coaching stint after serving five seasons on Gary Patterson’s staff at TCU from 2007-11. Fuente joined the TCU football coaching staff in February of 2007 as running backs coach and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in February of 2009. As part of his promotion, he moved to coaching the Horned Frogs quarterbacks. “The University of Memphis is pleased to welcome Justin Fuente to the Tigers family,” said University President Dr. Shirley C. Raines. “Justin is an energetic and enthusiastic coach who has guided a highly-successful offense at TCU and was instrumental in its Rose Bowl win. He is a family man and is committed to developing our student-athletes. He and his family are eager to become part of the Memphis community.” A native of Tulsa, Okla., the dynamic playcaller helped guide TCU’s program to consecutive BCS bowl game appearances with a 2011 Rose Bowl victory over No. 5-ranked Wisconsin that followed an appearance in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. From 2008-10, TCU was the only program in the country that finished in the top-10 in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls all three campaigns. In Fuente’s three seasons as offensive coordinator, TCU set single-season school records for touchdowns, points scored and first downs, while also ranking among the nation’s most productive offensive units. From 2009-11, the Horned Frogs won 36 of 39 contests, including a 24-game win streak in the Mountain West Conference (MWC). Credited with developing some of the top quarterbacks in TCU history, Fuente coached 2012 NFL Pro Bowl selection Andy Dalton and 2011 TCU starter Casey Pachall. TCU was the only school in the nation to have two different quarterbacks rank in the top-10 in the country in passing efficiency from 2009-11. Under Fuente’s tutelage, Dalton became TCU’s career leader in every major passing category. The 2011 NFL Draft second-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals also set Moun-

tain West Conference all-time marks for total offense (11,925 yards) and plays from scrimmage (1,730). The two-time MWC Offensive Player of the Year and three-time bowl game MVP, Dalton finished ninth in 2010 Heisman Trophy voting. He was a finalist for the Manning, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm and Bobby Bowden awards, while also being a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien and Maxwell honors. As a sophomore in 2011, Pachall broke Andy Dalton’s single-season TCU records for completions (228), completion percentage (66.5) and yards (2,921). Pachall threw for 473 yards against Boise State, the second-highest, singlegame total in school history. He threw only seven interceptions in 2011 and helped rally TCU from fourth-quarter deficits three times, including the 31-24 win over Louisiana Tech in the Poinsettia Bowl, a bowl in which Fuente did not coach. The 2011 Horned Frogs became the first team to win the Mountain West championship three-consecutive seasons. TCU finished the year at 11-2 and ranked No. 13/14 in the final polls. The Horned Frogs ranked among the national leaders in total offense with their average of 440.2 yards per game. In 2010, Fuente helped direct TCU to single-season school marks in touchdowns (73), points scored (541), total offense (6,199 yards) and first downs (327). The Horned Frogs ranked fourth nationally in scoring (41.6 points per game), sixth in passing efficiency (166.9), 10th in rushing (247.4 yards per game) and 12th in total offense (476.9 yards per game). In his first season as co-offensive coordinator, Fuente helped direct a record-setting 2009 TCU attack. The Horned Frogs established then single-season school marks for points scored (498), total offense (5,937 yards), touchdowns (65) and first downs (311). TCU ranked fifth nationally in rushing offense (239.5 yards per game) and scoring (38.3 points per game), while placing seventh in total offense (456.7 yards per game) and eighth in passing efficiency (154.1). With Fuente as running backs coach in 2008, the Horned Frogs had a “running backby-committee” attack. TCU ranked 12th nationally in rushing, despite not having a player ranked among the top-96 rushers in the country. TCU’s 220.2 yards per game rushing was 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
its highest mark since 2000 when LaDainian Tomlinson keyed a Frogs ground game that averaged 275.6 yards per game. During that 2008 campaign, Fuente helped develop tailback Aaron Brown into being a 2009 NFL Draft sixth-round selection of the Detroit Lions. Fuente made the move to TCU after spending six seasons as quarterbacks coach at Illinois State. His final three years saw him double as the Redbirds offensive coordinator. Under Fuente’s direction, Illinois State ranked in the top-10 nationally in total offense in 2005 and 2006. The Redbirds ranked eighth in 2006 with an average of 397.5 yards per game, after ranking fifth in both total offense (477.6 yards) and scoring (39.2 points) in 2005. Fuente coached Redbirds quarterback Luke Drone to All-Gateway Conference first team honors, as he led the league in passing (227.8 yards per game) and total offense (231.6 yards per game). Running back Pierre Rembert set an Illinois State single-season record with 1,743 yards, while also ranking sixth nationally in rushing with 134.1 yards per contest. As a college quarterback, Fuente played two seasons (1996-97) at Oklahoma under then-Sooners offensive coordinator Dick Winder. Fuente set an Oklahoma freshman record with 11 touchdown passes. He transferred to Murray State for his final two years of eligibility. Fuente set 11 school records at Murray State, including total offense and passing yards in a game and season. In 1999, he was the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) Offensive Player of the Year and a Walter Payton Award finalist, given annually to the nation’s top player in Division I-AA. Fuente is a 1999 graduate of Murray State. Following his collegiate career, Fuente played professionally with the Oklahoma Wranglers in the Arena League. Fuente and his wife, Jenny, have two daughters, Cecilia and Caroline.

TIM B I L L I NG S S E O k l a h o m a S tat e , 1980 First Season
Tim Billings was hired in February of 2012 after six seasons on staff at Wake Forest. Billings, a versatile coach that instructed four different groups of position players in his six seasons with the Demon Deacons, guides the Tigers defensive line. Billings oversaw the Wake Forest wide receivers during the 2006 and 2007 seasons and then supervised the secondary in 2008 and 2009. He worked with the defensive ends in 2010 and coached the outside linebackers in the spring of 2011. The co-defensive coordinator at Wake Forest in 2011, Billings led Kyle Wilber to a strong showing at outside linebacker that season, as Wilber was the team’s second-leading tackler (70) and the squad’s sacks leader. Wilber was invited to participate in the East-West Shrine Game following his senior campaign. Wake Forest tied for second in the ACC Atlantic Division with a 5-3 league record in 2011 and defeated No. 22 Florida State, while also posting ACC road wins at Boston College and Duke. The Demon Deacons fell to Mississippi State in the 2011 Music City Bowl. Billings joined the Wake Forest staff in 2006 as a 23-year collegiate coaching veteran with experience as a head coach, coordinator and position coach on both sides of the ball. As an assistant coach at Wake Forest, Missouri, Oklahoma and Marshall, Billings was a part of three national championships, six conference titles, 10 bowl games and six Division I-AA playoff teams. Billings made an immediate impact on each position he coached at Wake Forest. In 2006, he turned Willie Idlette and Nate Morton into top-flight receivers during the Deacons’ march to the ACC championship.
After moving to the secondary in 2008, Billings helped cornerback Alphonso Smith become the only unanimous All-ACC first team selection. The secondary helped in holding opponents to just 172.5 passing yards per game, the lowest average allowed by the Wake Forest defense in 15 years. Billings’ efforts were recognized nationally as he was named 2008 FootballScoop’s Secondary Coach of the Year. In his two years as the Deacons receivers coach, Billings re-energized the receiving corps. In 2007, he tutored Kenneth Moore, who caught an ACC and school-record 98 passes, earned All-ACC first team honors and was named the Meineke Car Care Bowl MVP after Wake Forest’s 24-10 win over Connecticut. Moore was selected in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Billings was responsible for a key decision in Wake Forest’s 2006 ACC championship campaign. It was his selfless idea to move Moore, the team’s leading receiver at the time, to tailback following a rash of injuries at that position. Billings was the head coach at Southeast Missouri in Cape Girardeau, Mo., for six years (2000-05), posting a 25-43 record. In 2002, Billings guided the Redhawks to an 8-4 record, the program’s best mark since 1969. He was named the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) Coach of the Year and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Region 3 Coach of the Year. Before taking over at Southeast Missouri, Billings spent 10 seasons as an assistant coach at Marshall from 1990-99. During his tenure, Marshall was the winningest program in college football, compiling a 114-25 record. Billings served as the Thundering Herd’s defensive coordinator during his final season in 1999. That year, Marshall completed a perfect 13-0 campaign and was ranked No. 10 in the final national polls. The Herd defense ranked second in Division I in scoring defense, allowing just 10.5 points per game. The Herd won MidAmerican Conference (MAC) titles in each of Billings’ final three seasons at Marshall. Prior to taking the defensive coordinator role, Billings worked primarily with the Thundering 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book

Marshall won NCAA 1-AA national championships in 1991 and 1996. Billings began his collegiate coaching career as a Missouri graduate assistant under Warren Powers in 1983-84. The 1984 Tigers played in the Holiday Bowl. He moved on to Oklahoma as a graduate assistant coach under Barry Switzer for the 1985 and 1986 seasons. The Sooners played in the 1985 and 1986 Orange Bowls, winning the 1985 national championship. Billings returned to Missouri for the 1987-89 seasons under Woody Widenhofer, before his 10-year stint at Marshall. While in Huntington, Billings served under Jim Donnan (1990-95) and Bob Pruett (1996-99). A native of Honey Grove, Texas, Billings began his coaching career as secondary coach at Duncan (Okla.) High School in 1980. He served as head coach at Prairieland High School in Pattonville, Texas, in 1981 and was secondary

Brad Cornelsen was hired in January of 2012 to serve as the Tigers quarterbacks coach. Cornelsen coached five seasons at Illinois State (2003-07), where Justin Fuente also served as an assistant from 2001-06. The Tigers offensive staff should be familiar with each other as Fuente, Cornelsen and Holman Wiggins (2006-10 at ISU) all coached together in 2006 at Illinois State. Offensive line coach Vance Vice also was on the Redbirds staff from 2000-04. Cornelsen joined the Tigers from Northeastern State (NSU), a Division II program located in Tahlequah, Okla. He served the last three seasons as the Riverhawks offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In 2011, NSU ranked among the nation’s leaders in passing offense (13th; 291 ypg) and total offense (22nd; 440 ypg). NSU finished 2011 with a 7-5 record and a Mineral Water Bowl appearance. The seven wins were the program’s most since 2000, and the bowl appearance was the Riverhawks’ first since 2000. With Cornelsen’s guidance, quarterback Johnny Deaton passed for 2,520 yards and 26 touchdowns in 2011. In addition, receiver Trey McVay was an All-America first team pick after logging 82 receptions for 1,533 yards. McVay ranked second in NCAA Division II in receiving yards per game. A native of Texhoma, Okla., Cornelsen spent the 2008 season at Oklahoma State, where he worked with quarterbacks and special teams. The Cowboys finished the regular season with a 9-3 record and earned a berth in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. Cornelsen also spent the 2001-02 seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Oklahoma State, where he worked with quarterbacks and wide receivers. In his first four seasons at Illinois State, Cornelsen guided the receiving corps. He mentored Laurent Robinson, who was selected in the 2007 NFL Draft third round by the Atlanta Falcons. In 2005, the All-American rewrote the school and conference record books with 86 receptions for 1,465 yards. In the final game of the 2005 season, Robinson totaled 292 yards on 14 catches against Indiana State. The single-game yardage total set both league and school marks. Robinson went on to claim the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year Award and was a consensus All-America selection.

program in the same capacity. Dickey also will guide the Tigers running backs. Dickey, who has over 25 years of collegiate coaching experience, was the co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Texas State in 2011. Texas State’s rushing attack averaged 195 yards a game and scored 20 of the team’s 35 offensive touchdowns. The Bobcats finished the season with a 6-6 record and averaged 345 yards of total offense. Against Southeastern Louisiana, Texas State logged 336 yards on 45 carries and three touchdowns. In seven of the 12 games in 2011, the Bobcats tallied at least 200 yards rushing, and the squad registered at least 40 carries in nine games. Dickey made his move to Texas State after spending two seasons as offensive coordinator and running backs coach at New Mexico. He also served as offensive coordinator at Utah State in 2007-08. During his tenure at New Mexico, Dickey helped install a new offense that featured Freshman All-America tight end Lucas Reed and some of the most talented newcomers in the Mountain West Conference. The newcomers included wide receiver Ty Kirk and running backs Demond Dennis and Kasey Carrier. While at Utah State, Dickey’s offense produced 1,653 rushing yards in 2008, the school’s highest total in nine seasons. In addition, Aggies signal-caller Diondre Borel was one of seven quarterbacks nationally to lead their respective teams in rushing and passing. Dickey went to Utah State after serving nine years as the North Texas head coach from 1998-2006. He guided the Mean Green to four-consecutive Sun Belt Conference (SBC) championships from 2001-04 with a combined league record of 25-1. Dickey’s overall record in SBC play was 29-11, including a 26-game conference win streak that stretched from 200105. North Texas participated in four-consecutive New Orleans Bowls from 2001-04. He guided the Mean Green to nine wins for the first time in 23 years in the 2003 season, after winning eight contests a year earlier. In the 2003 New Orleans Bowl, Dickey’s squad suffered a 27-17 loss to Memphis at the Louisiana Superdome. The Mean Green also had a 7-5 mark in 2004. Under his direction, North Texas landed 70 players on All-Sun Belt Conference teams, including 39 first team selections. Dickey was named the head coach of the Sun Belt Conference’s 30th Anniversary Team in 2004. Dickey also guided the Mean Green to its first bowl win in 57 years when North Texas defeated Cincinnati in the 2002 New Orleans Bowl. Running back Kevin Galbreath was named the New Orleans Bowl MVP. North Texas produced back-to-back NCAA rushing leaders in Patrick Cobbs (2003) and Jamario Thomas (2004). Cobbs led the nation with 152.7 yards per game in 2003, and Thomas repeated the feat with 180.1 yards per contest in 2004. In his final season at North Texas, Dickey suffered a heart attack on Oct. 13, 2006, but missed just one game. In a nine-month span, Dickey had his gall bladder removed, was diagnosed with diabetes and suffered a heart attack.

Barry Odom joined Justin Fuente’s staff as defensive coordinator in December of 2011 after spending nine years on the staff at his alma mater, Missouri (2003-11). In his role with the Tigers, he will also direct the safeties. After serving six seasons in various administrative roles at Missouri, Odom took the opportunity to get back into coaching in February of 2009 when he was named the Tigers safeties coach. A valuable part of Missouri’s operations staff since 2003, Odom showed his versatility when he jumped into recruiting responsibilities in December of 2008 to fill the void when former assistant Dave Christensen left to become head coach at Wyoming after the Tigers’ 2008 Alamo Bowl victory. Odom’s hard work and personable nature helped secure the signings of several in-state standouts, as well as getting a late commitment from Louisiana’s L’Damian Washington. He was also the lead recruiter on a handful of signees with Missouri’s 2010 recruiting class which was ranked 21st nationally by Rivals. com, the highest-ranked class in Tigers history. Under his guidance, senior strong safety Kenji Jackson developed into the unquestioned leader of the 2011 Tigers defense. Jackson ranked fourth on the team with a career-best 71 tackles and led Missouri with three interceptions on his way to earning All-Big 12 honorable mention accolades. The 2010 season saw the Tigers defense emerge as one of the most improved in the nation and the Big 12 Conference. Despite playing against high-scoring Big 12 offenses each week, the Tigers led the conference and ranked sixth nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 16.08 points per game. Additionally, thanks to the play of his safeties, Missouri ranked 11th nationally in pass efficiency defense, holding opposing quarterbacks to a 108.45 rating. Senior Jarrell Harrison emerged as a solid playmaker in 2010 under Odom’s direction, and for his efforts, Harrison earned All-Big 12 honorable mention distinction. In his first year on the coaching staff in 2009, Odom oversaw the rapid development of junior college transfer Jasper Simmons into an instant impact player. Simmons earned All-Big 12 honorable mention recognition and also received votes for the Big 12 Conference’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year award. Simmons ended the year as the squad’s fourth-leading tackler (73 hits) and added two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and an interception that sealed Missouri’s win over rival Iowa State. The 2008 season was Odom’s second as director of operations, after handling the duties of director of recruiting the previous two seasons (2006-07). Prior to the 2007 season, he added assistant athletics director to his title. Some of the many duties he performed in that role included overseeing the football budget, coordinating team travel, handling compliance issues, scheduling of facilities, assisting with re2012 Memphis Football Fact Book

Galen Scott enters his third season as the program’s linebackers coach in 2012. He previously worked with Justin Fuente at Illinois State from 2001-06 and remained with the Tigers staff when Fuente was given the reins of the Memphis program. Scott was elevated to co-defensive coordinator in September of 2011 and also continued to guide the linebackers. Under his tutelage, linebacker Terrence Thomas flourished in his senior season and led the 2011 Tigers defense with 106 tackles, including 72 solo stops. In addition, Akeem Davis, who worked at linebacker in nickel, was the squad’s second-leading tackler with 78 hits. Davis also led the squad in interceptions (3) and tied for the team lead in fumble recoveries (4) and forced fumbles (3). Scott guided one of the most-successful linebackers in school history in 2010 when Jamon Hughes ranked third nationally with 147 tackles. Hughes was an All-Conference USA first team pick and was named the team’s MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. His 147 tackles were the fourth-most for a season, and his 21 stops against Southern Miss were the secondmost for a game in school history. Scott joined the Tigers after two seasons at Tulsa (2008-09), where he worked with the cornerbacks in 2009. Under Scott’s guidance, James Lockett was a two-time All-C-USA honoree. In the 2008 season, Scott worked with outside linebackers and safeties. The 2008 Golden Hurricane squad finished the season with an 11-3 record and a 45-13 win over Ball State in the GMAC Bowl. Under Scott’s direction, Lockett was named to the 2008 All-C-USA second team, and Kenny Sims was an All-C-USA honorable mention pick. Prior to joining the Golden Hurricane staff, Scott served seven years at his alma mater, Illinois State (2001-07) and took on the role of defensive coordinator his last two seasons. In his first season as defensive coordinator in 2006, Scott directed a Redbirds defense that was the Gateway Conference’s No. 3 total defense and No. 2 scoring defense, allowing 19.7 points per game. In 2005, Scott was named the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division I-AA Assistant Coach of the Year. A native of Orlando, Fla., Scott is one of the most-decorated players to ever wear an Illinois State uniform. Until 2004, Scott owned the career tackles record, but his protégé, Boomer Grigsby, claimed the mark under his guidance. Scott helped mold Grigsby into an unprecedented three-time Gateway Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year performer and a consensus All-American.

With the graduation of Grigsby after the 2004 campaign, Scott continued his trend of producing great players with Cameron Siskowic, who won the 2006 Gateway Defensive Player of the Year Award. A two-time Buck Buchanan Award finalist, Siskowic led the league in tackles in 2005 and 2006, giving the Redbirds and Scott the Gateway Conference leader in stops for five-straight seasons (2002-06). During Scott’s four-year playing career (1997-2000), he set Redbirds records for tackles in a game, season and career. He also helped Illinois State to its first Gateway Conference title (1999) and a pair of NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances (1998, 1999). Scott was named to four All-America teams and was only the fifth player in school history to earn All-America status in three different seasons. He also snagged All-Gateway Conference honors each of his four seasons and was a member of the 1997 All-Gateway Newcomer Team. An honor roll student at Illinois State, he set Redbirds tackles records for a game (27) and season (186). He was the first Illinois State player to exceed 500 career tackles, and his final figure was 109 more hits than the previous record holder, Wilbert Brown. Scott’s single-game mark (27 tackles) ranks No. 5 in Gateway Conference history and his season total (186) is No. 7 in the league’s annals. His career number ranks No. 3 in conference history. Scott received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Illinois State. He and his wife, Tashauna, were married in June of 2008. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter Ryan, in May of 2010. 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book

Hired in December of 2011 to coach special teams and tight ends, James Shibest is recognized as one of college football’s premier special teams coaches. Shibest comes to Memphis after spending the previous four seasons under Houston Nutt at Ole Miss (2008-11). During his time at Ole Miss, Shibest’s special teams were highlighted by an NCAA statistical champion, four All-SEC honorees and two freshman award winners. He also tutored the top two kick returners in Ole Miss history in Mike Wallace and Jesse Grandy. In 2011, the Rebels ranked second nationally and led the SEC in punt returns, averaging 15.64 yards per return. Ole Miss also logged two touchdowns on punt returns in 2011. In addition, Tyler Campbell ranked 21st nationally in punting with an average of 43.57 yards per punt. The previous year, Shibest helped Campbell become the 2010 national punting champion with a 46.37-yard average. Campbell also was an All-SEC second team pick that season. In addition, Grandy ranked 10th in the NCAA in punt return average en route to All-SEC third team honors, and freshman Jeff Scott finished 20th in the nation in kick returns. Kickoff specialist Andrew Ritter’s 13 touchbacks were fourth-most in the SEC. Despite coaching a freshman-heavy group, Shibest’s unit ranked among the SEC’s best in 2009. Grandy finished second on the Ole Miss single-season chart with 746 kick-return yards and earned Freshman All-America second team accolades. Campbell, an SEC All-Freshman Team selection, ranked second in the conference and 14th in the nation in punting with a 44.0-yard average, while Ritter finished third in the league with 12 touchbacks, helping the Rebels rank fifth in the SEC in kickoff coverage. Placekicker Joshua Shene, the special teams’ lone senior in 2009, wrapped up his career at Ole Miss second in career scoring (310), field goals (57), field goal attempts (75), PAT made (139) and PAT attempted (142). Shene also became only the second Rebel in the program’s history to lead the team in scoring all four years. In his first season with the Rebels in 2008, Shibest was honored as the Special Teams Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop.com. With many of the same specialists returning from the previous year, Ole Miss significantly improved in every special teams category in the first year under Shibest. The Rebels jumped from 12th to third in kickoff coverage and from 11th to second in field goals in the SEC statistical rankings. Wallace, a All-SEC second team returner, shattered the school record for kick return yards in a game, season and career. He also ranked third in the SEC in kick return average (24.6). In addition, Marshay Green ranked sixth in punt return average in the SEC. Shene also garnered All-SEC kicker accolades, as he was a first team selection by the

In one season under Shibest, the Rebels improved from 93rd nationally to 32nd in net punting and from 107th to 24th in punt coverage. Kickoff coverage improved 12 yards from the previous season and resulted in 10 touchbacks after recording none in 2007. Shibest was a member of Nutt’s Arkansas staff for eight seasons, where he coached special teams and had stints tutoring tight ends (2000-01, 2006-07) and receivers (2002-05). Before his time at Arkansas, Shibest spent eight seasons in the junior college ranks.

Chris Vaughn was hired by Justin Fuente in December of 2011 to coach the cornerbacks. He spent the previous four seasons at Ole Miss (2008-11), where he directed the defensive backs and served as recruiting coordinator. Vaughn’s time at Ole Miss was highlighted by a 2009 unit that was one of the nation’s toughest pass defenses. With corners Marshay Green and Cassius Vaughn, Ole Miss ranked No. 11 in pass efficiency defense and No. 15 in pass defense in the NCAA. Overall, the Rebels finished fourth in the SEC and 15th nationally in scoring defense (17.7 ppg) and fourth in the league and 21st nationally in total defense (314.7 ypg). After the season, Green and Vaughn signed NFL contracts with Arizona and Denver, respectively. In his first season with Ole Miss, Vaughn helped coach a Rebels defense that intercepted 16 passes which were eight more picks than the previous season. The unit also improved from 11th to fifth in scoring defense and from 12th to fifth in total defense in the SEC. During his first spring drills as cornerbacks coach at Ole Miss, he faced the immediate challenge of transforming Green, a wide receiver, into a cornerback, a position where the Rebels were short on personnel. Green entered the starting lineup in the third contest of the 2008 season and started 22 games his final two seasons. Under Vaughn’s watch, Green earned Defensive MVP honors in the 2009 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. The Ole Miss secondary limited Texas Tech All-American Michael Crabtree to just 30 receiving yards in that game. As recruiting coordinator, Vaughn helped assemble a 2009 signing class that Rivals.com ranked 18th in the nation. The website also named Vaughn one of the Top-25 Recruiters in the Country. The Rebels’ 2010 class earned even higher praise from Scout.com (No. 15), while the 2011 signing class dominated the state of Mississippi like none before had done, inking the state’s top-five recruits and eight of

Tejada was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team and earned a spot on the Rivals.com All-SEC second team. In addition, Shibest’s tight end Andrew Davie caught three touchdown passes, and D.J. Williams was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. Under Shibest’s direction, wide receiver Marcus Monk earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors in 2004, after hauling in a team-high tying 37 receptions for 569 yards and a teambest six touchdowns. Shibest also worked with punter Jeremy Davis, who was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team after averaging 39.2 yards on 25 punts. Despite the loss of two senior starters from 2003, Shibest helped Arkansas rank fifth in the SEC in passing offense in 2004 (210.5 ypg) with wideouts Monk, Steve Harris and Cedric Washington combining for 91 receptions, 1,470 yards and 11 touchdowns. Shibest’s Arkansas receiving corps had one of its most-productive seasons in recent history in 2003. Seniors George Wilson and Richard Smith combined for 80 receptions, 1,473 yards and 13 touchdowns. The duo ended their careers second (144) and fourth (135), respectively, on Arkansas’ all-time receptions list. Shibest helped Wilson finish the 2003 regular season ranked fifth in the SEC in receptions (3.85) and fourth in receiving yards (69.2) per game. With Shibest’s instruction, kicker Chris Balseiro made 11-of-15 field goals, including a school bowl-record four in the Hogs’ 27-14 win over Missouri in the 2003 Independence Bowl. In 2002, Shibest worked with placekicker David Carlton, as he connected on 12-of-16 field goals to finish tied for third in the SEC in percentage (75.0). Shibest also instructed punter Richie Butler, who finished his career ranked in the top-10 of every punting category in the Razorbacks record book. A 21-year coaching veteran, Shibest joined the Razorbacks staff in 2000 after a highly successful four-year stint as head coach at Butler County (Kan.) Community College. Shibest led the Grizzlies to a four-year record of 34-10 and back-to-back National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) championships in 1998 and 1999. He was named the NJCAA Coach of the Year both seasons, and he also earned Jayhawk Conference Coach of the Year honors in 1996 and 1998. During his tenure at Butler County, Shibest coached 19 NJCAA All-Americans and 34 NCAA Division I signees, including Jermaine Petty who earned All-America first team honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). Shibest led the Grizzlies to records of 7-4 in 1996, 4-5 in 1997, 12-0 in 1998 and 11-1 in 1999. Shibest began his career as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma State, coaching receivers in 1990 and running backs in 1991. In 1992, Shibest began his ascent through the junior college coaching ranks as offensive coordinator at Independence (Kan.) Community College.

Vaughn participated in several programs for aspiring head coaches held by the NCAA, including the 2009 NCAA Minority Coaches Forum, the NCAA Football Coaches Academy and the NCAA Football Coaches Expert Academy. He also took part in the NFL’s Minority Internship program with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2009 and Philadelphia Eagles in 2006. Prior to following Houston Nutt at Ole Miss, Vaughn served on the Arkansas staff for nine seasons (1999-2007), including four as recruiting coordinator. During his Razorbacks tenure, Vaughn’s coaching responsibilities included outside linebackers (2000-04), outside linebackers and strong safeties (2001-03) and all safeties (2005, 2007). He spent the 2006 season as the director of on-campus recruiting. Among his pupils at Arkansas were Tony Bua, an NFL Draft fifth-round pick of the Miami Dolphins; Vickiel Vaughn, a seventh-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers; and Matt Hewitt, who signed a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills. In 2003, Vaughn directed a unit that helped Arkansas finish fifth in total defense and fourth in passing defense in the SEC. The Razorbacks also ranked third in pass efficiency defense. As outside linebackers coach, Vaughn was instrumental in developing Bua into an All-SEC performer. Bua earned All-SEC honors from
2001-03 and ended his career as Arkansas’ alltime tackles leader with 408 stops. In 2001, Vaughn helped Arkansas’ defense rank second in red zone defense and third in turnover margin in the SEC. The Razorbacks defense held opponents to scoring only 68.3 percent in the red zone and posted a plus-five turnover margin. Vaughn also helped coach a 2000 defensive unit which led the SEC and was 12th nationally in total defense, allowing only 292.1 yards per game. Vaughn began his Arkansas career as a graduate assistant in 1999, working with the defense. He helped direct a swarming defense that limited Texas to minus-27 yards rushing in a 27-6 Razorbacks victory in the 2000 Cotton Bowl. Vaughn landed his first full-time coaching position less than a week after the Cotton Bowl win over Texas when he was named Tulsa’s linebackers coach on Jan. 3, 2000. Vaughn’s tenure at Tulsa, however, lasted fewer than six weeks. When a full-time slot opened on the Razorbacks staff, Nutt lured Vaughn back to Fayetteville on Feb. 17, 2000, in time to prepare for spring practice. Vaughn earned four letters as a linebacker at Murray State. He was a member of Murray State teams that claimed back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) titles and made consecutive NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances in 1995 and 1996. Vaughn earned All-OVC honors as a senior in 1997, totaling 103 tackles, six sacks and 10 TFL. He earned his bachelor’s degree in advertising with a minor in art from Murray State in 1998. A native of Tallahassee, Fla., Vaughn was an all-state linebacker, state wrestling runner-up and 4A state weightlifting champion at Godby High School.

Behind the Vice-led offensive line, the 2009 Warhawks rushed for a school Sun Belt (SBC)era record 21 touchdowns. Louisiana-Monroe also set the school’s single-game, SBC-era record with five rushing touchdowns against Texas Southern. The Warhawks tallied the fifth-highest yards-per-game average (392.3) in school history and the program’s highest since moving to FBS. In 2009, Louisiana-Monroe finished the season ranked 28th in the NCAA in sacks allowed, yielding just 16. The Warhawks rushing attack averaged 183.9 yards per game in 2009, ranking third in the SBC and 31st nationally. Running back Frank Goodin finished the season with 1,126 yards and 13 touchdowns, the fourth and second-best marks, respectively, in LouisianaMonroe history. Two of Vice’s linemen were named AllLouisiana for the first time in their careers. One of those linemen, Mitch Doyle, was named to the All-Louisiana Team as an offensive lineman after switching from tight end the previous spring. In the 2009 season opener versus Texas, the Warhawks offensive line did something that only two other teams had done in the previous 40 games, limiting the Longhorns defense to no sacks. The unit also paved the way for the Louisiana-Monroe ground game to run for 101 yards against Texas, which had allowed only 83.5 yards per game rushing the previous season (nation’s No. 3 rushing defense).

2011 REVIEW
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Tigers fell to the No. 20 Mississippi State Bulldogs 59-14 in front of 33,990 fans at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on Thursday evening, but showed promise with breakout games for several players. Memphis scored its first touchdown with 3:19 left in the second quarter on a Billy Foster 21-yard run. Foster went on to have the best game of his career so far, collecting 63 rushing yards in the contest and 47 coming in the second quarter alone. The Tigers’ other touchdown came on an 11-yard pass from true freshman Taylor Reed to junior Marcus Rucker on 4th-and-4 with 11:40 left in the game. Reed threw for 149 yards on 23 for 35 passing and one interception in his college debut. Freshman running back Artaves Gibson led the Tigers on the ground with 17 carries for 89 yards, to go along with Foster’s 63-yard performance. Sophomore running back Jerrell Rhodes had six carries for 28 yards before he left the game with an injury early in the second quarter. Rucker finished with 73 receiving yards. Mississippi State scored first on a 44-yard pass play from Chris Relf to Chad Bumphis at the 11:23 mark of the first quarter. The visiting Bulldogs continued to increase their lead in the opening period when Vick Ballard scampered 46 yards to give Mississippi State a 14-0 advantage at the 4:29 mark.

in the opening period put the Bulldogs up 17-0. Relf connected with Arceto Clark on a 35-yard scoring strike to open the scoring in the second period and give Mississippi State a 24-0 advantage. After an exchange of possessions on punts, the Tigers turned over the ball on downs inside the Mississippi State 35. The Memphis defense rose to the challenge on the ensuing series, stopping the Bulldogs and forcing an apparent punt. The visitors, however, faked the punt attempt, but the Tigers’ special teams answered, halting the Bulldog drive at the Mississippi State 30 yard line. The Tigers took possession at the Bulldog 30, and three plays later, hit pay dirt when Foster found the end zone from 21 yards out with 3:19 left before halftime. The Bulldogs, though, had a quick answer just before the break. Starting at its own 2 yard line, Mississippi State drove 98 yards on five plays and in a span of 1:27, highlighted by Ballard’s 66-yard touchdown run. The score gave the Bulldogs a 31-7 halftime advantage. After the break, Mississippi State added two more scores in the third period to increase its advantage to 45-7. Ballard scored his third touchdown of the game on a one-yard plunge over the Memphis line, and Jameon Lewis ran for a 19-yard touchdown. Memphis scored its second touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter when Reed found

caught four passes in a single quarter. The last Tiger to do so was Carlos Singleton in the third quarter against East Carolina in ‘09. Akeem Davis led the Memphis defense with a careerhigh 11 tackles. Davis also had 1.5 tackles for loss on the night. Hollier returned five kickoffs and logged a careerhigh 99 yards on returns. A couple of noteworthy performances occurred on special teams in the loss. Senior Dasmine Cathey forced ASU’s Dwayne Frampton to cough up the ball on a punt return in the first quarter. The ball was recovered by Memphis’ Reggie Travis. It was Cathey’s third career forced fumble. Johnnie Farms recorded a blocked field goal in the fourth quarter, which marked Memphis’ first blocked field goal since 2010.

JONESBORO, Ark. — Arkansas State scored 30 points in the first half and posted 336 yards of offense in the first half en route to defeating Memphis 47-3 at ASU Stadium. It was the first meeting between the Tigers and Red Wolves since the 2008 season. Arkansas State jumped out to an early 3-0 lead on a 31-yard field goal by Brian Davis. A Frank Trotter sack on third down forced the field goal attempt by the Red Wolves. Memphis and ASU traded turnovers on their first two possessions as Bakari Hollier recorded his first career interception for a touchback. On the ensuing possession, freshman quarterback Taylor Reed was sacked and fumbled on the Memphis 16 yard line to give the ball back to the Red Wolves. ASU widened the margin to 10-0 on a Ryan Aplin 10-yard touchdown pass to Josh Jarboe. Red Wolves running back Frankie Jackson set up the score with a 48-yard rush to the Memphis 12 yard line. The Red Wolves sprinted to a 17-0 lead on a 71yard touchdown pass from Aplin to Jarboe. ASU took over on their 29 yard line after stopping Memphis on a 4th-and-1. A 13 play, 82-yard drive capped off by an eight-yard rush by Jermaine Robertson gave ASU a 23-0 lead with 6:29 remaining in the first half. Paulo Henriques put the Tigers on the board with a 37-yard field goal with 3:57 remaining in the first half. Henriques improved to 9-for-9 in his career on kicks inside 40 yards. Billy Foster rushed
for 22 yards on the nine play, 34-yard drive for the Tigers. Foster rushed for a 46 yards in the first half. ASU would cap off the first half scoring with an 11-play, 90-yard drive with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Frampton. Aplin finished the half with three touchdown passes and 227 yards passing. After Memphis was unable to advance the ball following a roughing the passer penalty on ASU, Red Wolves running back Frankie Jackson rushed for one yard and a touchdown to give ASU a 37-3 lead. A 35-yard completion to Jarboe helped ASU to the eight play, 85-yard touchdown drive. A nine-play, 51-yard drive would increase the Red Wolves lead to 44-3 late in the third quarter. Running back Derek Lawson caught an 11-yard touchdown pass to finish the drive for the Red Wolves. ASU wrapped up the quarter with a 56-yard field goal by Bobby Zalud. Reed, making his first career start, finished 13-of29 passing for 87 yards. Marcus Rucker extended his consecutive games with a reception streak to 14 and led the Tigers receiving corps with four catches for 34 yards. Tannar Rehrer led the Tigers in receiving with five catches for 24 yards. The five receptions was a career high for the senior. He hauled in four receptions in the first quarter alone, marking the first time since 2009 that a Memphis receiver

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Taylor Reed passed for 332 yards and Billy Foster had 180 all-purpose yards to lead the Memphis Tigers in their first win of the 2011 season, a 27-6 non-conference victory over Austin Peay at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The game was still up in the air late in the fourth quarter until Foster took a screen pass from Reed and scampered 93 yards for the game-securing touchdown. The play was the second-longest pass completion in school history, just one yard shy of the record. The school-record pass play was a 94-yard scoring strike from Lloyd Patterson to Earnest Gray against Houston in the 1978 season. Just before the Tigers’ score, the Memphis defense came up big with a stop of a Governors’ drive inside the 10 yard line. With the Tigers clinging to a 20-6 advantage, Austin Peay started a drive at the Memphis 44 with 6:44 left in the game. The Governors drove the ball to the Memphis 2, where the Tigers’ defense stiffened and held the visitors out of the end zone on four-straight plays inside the 5 yard line. After the Tigers scored to make it 27-6, Austin Peay put together one final drive, but it ended again inside the Memphis 10 yard line when Lavaris Edwards intercepted a Jake Ryan pass in the end zone and returned it to the 6 yard line. In the third quarter, Memphis increased its lead to 20-0 and seemingly put the game out of reach. On its first drive of the second half, Memphis moved

the ball to its own 36, where Reed completed a pass to tight end Andrew Ene-Ita on 3rd-and-7. Ene-Ita caught the ball at the Austin Peay 46, but fumbled the ball. His fumble was recovered by teammate Kevin Wright at the Governors’ 22 and ran it for a touchdown at the 13:33 mark, giving the Tigers a 17-0 lead. The play went as a 22-yard scoring play from Reed to Wright. After the ensuing kickoff, the Tigers held the Governors’ defense to six yards, forcing them to punt. The Tigers’ defense drove to the Governors 26 yard line on a Reed-to-Marcus Rucker pass and two Foster rushes. The 21-yard drive ended in a 44-yard Paulo Henriques’ field goal to put Memphis ahead 20-0 with 10:27 left in the third period, setting up the final period of play. The Governors put themselves on the board with a short touchdown pass from Ryan to Ryan White with 4:55 left in the period. The touchdown capped an 80-yard drive by the Governors, featuring 47 passing yards from Ryan. After a scoreless first period, Memphis struck first in the second quarter after Austin Peay missed a field goal on its opening possession of the period. The Tigers drove 32 yards before Tannar Rehrer scored his first career touchdown on a 42-yard pass from Reed to make it 7-0 Memphis with 8:14 left in the second quarter. The 42-yard pass play was

Ryan led the Governors’ offense with 245 passing yards on 23-of-44 passing and one touchdown. White had 124 all-purpose yards. Defensively, Antwaun Majors and Darric Dillard led Austin Peay with eight and seven tackles, respectively. Memphis finished with 113 rushing yards, compared to Austin Peay’s 123.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A 94-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes by Middle Tennessee spoiled the University of Memphis’ highest scoring output since 2009 in a 38-31 loss at Floyd Stadium. Memphis jumped to a 17-0 lead in the second quarter, but the Blue Raiders battled back and tied the game at 24 in the fourth. MTSU took its first lead in the game with 3:14 remaining in the fourth, but Memphis answered with a quick five play, 79-yard drive to knot the score at 31. Middle Tennessee began its game-winning drive with 1:41 remaining on the clock and scored on a 33-yard pass from Logan Kilgore to Anthony Amos. With only 11 seconds left in the game, Memphis attempted a hook and ladder that resulted in a fumble and was recovered by MTSU to end the game. The Tigers rushed for a season-high 165 yards with three touchdowns. Redshirt-senior Billy Foster led the squad with 94 yards rushing on 23 attempts and two touchdowns. The two rushing touchdowns were the most by a U of M player since Gregory Ray scored two against Middle Tennessee in 2010. Foster has three rushing TDs on the season and four total touchdowns.

attempts with one touchdown. Prior to Kilgore’s game-winning touchdown pass to Amos, Memphis had tied the game at 31 on a 23-yard reception by redshirtfreshman Keiwone Malone from Reed. Down by a touchdown and with 3:14 remaining, the Tigers went 79 yards on five plays for the score. It was Malone’s first career touchdown and the fifth touchdown pass thrown by Reed this year. Middle Tennessee took its first lead in the game with 3:14 remaining in the fourth quarter. On a rush by William Pratcher, Akeem Davis forced a fumble at the Memphis 10yard line. The ball rolled into the end zone where it was recovered by Malcolm Beyah for a Blue Raider touchdown. The MTSU fumble recovery for a touchdown was its second-straight TD in the fourth quarter. D.D. Kyles ran the ball 59-yards for a score with 7:19 remaining to tie the game up at 24. After the Blue Raiders had tied the score up at 17 in the third quarter on a 36-yard pass from Logan to Malcolm Beyah, Foster gave Memphis a 24-17 lead on a two-yard run for his second touchdown in the game. Memphis had entered the half with a 17-10 lead. Foster ran the ball into the end zone on the Tigers’ opening drive to give Memphis an early 7-0 advantage. The touchdown capped a 76-yard, nine-play drive for the U of M. Later in the first quarter, Davis picked up his fourth

turnover in the last two games with a 33-yard interception return. Davis intercepted a Logan Kilgore pass at the Memphis 49-yard line and returned it to the Memphis 18. Davis had an interception and two fumble recoveries the previous week against SMU. The takeaway resulted in a 36yard field goal by Paulo Henriques to increase the Tiger lead to 10-0. Henriques is now 11-for-11 on field goals under 40 yards during his career. Memphis scored its second drive of the first half on a sevenyard rush by Reed to go up 17-0 with 13:38 left in the second quarter. The 69-yard touchdown drive was highlighted by a team season long 28-yard rush by Artaves Gibson that surpassed Foster’s 27-yard rush from earlier in the game. It was Reed’s first career rushing touchdown. Middle Tennessee then scored 10 unanswered points to end the first half on a five-yard pass from Kilgore to Beyah and a 21-yard field goal by Alan Gendreau. Freshman Bobby McCain and redshirt-junior Mitch Huelsing led the Tigers’ defense with eight tackles each. McCain had come into the game with two tackles in three games.

The Owls made it 21-3 early in the third quarter. A Rice blitz tipped Reed’s pass. Jared Williams intercepted the popup and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. On the next Rice series, the Owls increased its lead to 28-3 on a 74-yard, sevenplay touchdown drive. Peterson ran the ball in one yard for his second touchdown in the game. Redden recovered a fumble by McHargue to give Memphis the ball at the Rice 20 at the end of the third quarter. It was the third forced turnover by the Tiger defense, which has recovered fumbles in all but the Middle Tennessee game this season. However, the Memphis offense was unable to move the ball and settled for a 30-yard field goal by Henriques to make the score 28-6. It was the second time Henriques has kicked multiple field goals in a game this season and the seventh time in his career. Thomas led the Tiger defense with 10 tackles and had nine stops in the first half.

2011 REVIEW
HOUSTON, Texas — The University of Memphis fell 28-6 to Rice on the road at Rice Stadium. After compiling just 107 yards of offense in the first half, including 57 yards passing, Memphis finished with 307 total offensive yards. Freshman Taylor Reed and redshirt-sophomore Andy Summerlin combined for 180 passing yards in the second half. Rice totaled 350 yards total offense with all but 105 of those yards coming in the first half. Summerlin entered the game at the end of the third quarter for Reed and passed for 137 yards in the fourth quarter. In his first game since the season opener against Mississippi State, Summerlin completed a career long pass of 44-yards to redshirt-freshman Kevin Wright and finished the game 9-of-13 passing. But the Memphis offense failed to get into much of a rhythm with the Rice defense coming up with five sacks in the game. Summerlin was sacked three times with the final one forcing a fumble deep in Memphis territory. Senior wide receiver Tannar Rehrer continued to be a favorite target of Memphis quarterbacks and finished with a career-high 11 receptions for 89 yards. The 11 receptions ranks tied for third in school history. The last Tiger to record 11 or more catches in a game was Duke Calhoun against Southern Miss in 2009. Wright also finished with a career high in receiving yards with four catches for 82 yards. Reed threw for 100 yards, completing 15-of-30 attempts with two interceptions. He also tied for the
team lead in rushing with 29 yards on eight carries. The Memphis defense continued to cause its opponents to turn over the ball. Terrence Thomas and Akeem Davis both came up with interceptions in the first half. Freshman Terry Redden recovered a Rice fumble in the second half for the third Owl turnover. Two of the three turnovers resulted in field goals for Memphis. Rice took a 7-0 lead with 5:34 remaining in the first quarter. After Memphis was unable to capitalize on Thomas’ interception, the Owls drove 69 yards on nine plays for the score. The Tigers stopped Rice for no gain on third down and one to go, but a fourth down conversion in a wildcat formation kept the drive alive. On the next play, Tyler Smith rushed for 31 yards to the Memphis four-yard line and Turner Peterson punched the ball in a few snaps later on a one-yard rush. Later in the first quarter, Davis picked off his third interception in the last three games on a pass tipped by Cannon Smith. After the drive sputtered out at the Rice 33, Henriques kicked a career-long 50-yard field goal to put Memphis on the board, 7-3. The field goal was Henriques’ first successful kick in three attempts of 50 yards or more. His previous career long was a 47-yard field goal against Southern Miss in 2010. Rice extended its lead to 14-3 with a touchdown late in the first half. The drive began at the Memphis 46 and included three third-down conversions. Following Frank Trotter’s second sack in the half that put the ball at the Memphis 15 on third down with 12 to go, Taylor McHargue found tight end Luke Willson in the end zone for the touchdown.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The University of Memphis fell to East Carolina University 35-17 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Tigers quarterback Skylar Jones, making his first start for the Blue and Gray, threw for 124 yards on 10-of-18 passing and two interceptions before he was replaced by Taylor Reed in the fourth quarter after a hard hit in the endzone. Reed finished with 53 yards, completing 5-of-12 attempts. Curtis Johnson grabbed three passes for 81 yards with a long of 50 (on a pass from Jones) in his first significant playing time this year after a pre-season injury. Pirates quarterback Dominique Davis had three passing touchdowns and threw for 307 yards on 28of-37 passing and no interceptions. East Carolina out-gained the Tigers on the ground 157-56, featuring Torrance Hunt’s 98-yard rushing performance. The Tigers scored a touchdown on a Reed-toTannar Rehrer pass on 4th-and-8 with 5:12 left in the game for the final score of the game. The Tigers put the first 10 points on the board before the Pirates scored 35 straight to take a 35-10 lead. Rehrer’s touchdown came after Akeem Davis recovered an ECU fumble at the Pirates 45 with 8:02 left in the game. ECU opened the fourth period with a 12-yard Dominique Davis-to-Lance Lewis touchdown pass to put the Pirates up 28-10 after the PAT, and the Pirates put the Tigers in a 25-point deficit on a one-yard rush with 10:45 left in the fourth quarter.
Early in the third quarter, Emanuel Davis intercepted Jones at the Memphis 32 and returned it inside the Tigers’ 10 yard line, setting up a nine-yard Hunt touchdown run that gave the Pirates a 14-10 lead. ECU made it 21-10 on a 58-yard Dominique Davisto-Justin Hardy pass play with 6:29 left in the third quarter on a seven-play, 89-yard drive that took only 2:22 off the clock. East Carolina opened the second quarter with a touchdown on a 12-yard Dominique Davis-to-Derrick Harris pass to cut the Memphis lead 10-7, and Derek Blacknall later intercepted a Jones pass to put ECU on their own 11 yard line. But, the Memphis defense held ECU to take a 10-7 lead into halftime. The Tigers scored the first points of the game with four minutes left in the first quarter on a Paulo Henriques 19-yard field goal. The field goal was set up by a 50-yard heave from Jones to Johnson that was originally ruled a touchdown, but was overturned after a review of the play. The 50-yard pass play was a career-long reception for Johnson and the second-longest offensive play for the Tigers this year. Memphis scored again with one minute left in the first quarter, as defensive lineman Martin Ifedi grabbed a Dominique Davis fumble at the 1 yard line

Mercedes-Benz Superdome October 22, 2011 NEW ORLEANS, La. — Freshman quarterback Taylor Reed was 14-of-26 passing for 213 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another score, and the Memphis defense and special teams turned in key plays in the third quarter to lift the Tigers to a 33-17 Conference USA victory over Tulane at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Reed’s two touchdown tosses gave Memphis a 14-10 halftime lead, but it was the Tigers’ defense and special teams that helped the visitors secure the win. The Conference USA victory ended Memphis’ 16-game skid in league play (last win vs. UTEP in 2009), and the road conference win was the Tigers’ first since the 2008 season (at SMU). The Tigers opened the second half with a 14-10 advantage, but Tulane took the second-half kickoff and drove 80 yards on only six plays to regain the lead at 17-14 with 12:24 on the third-quarter clock. Green Wave quarterback Ryan Griffin went 4-of-4 passing for 77 yards on the drive, including the 29yard touchdown strike to Wilson Van Hooser. The Green Wave started their second drive after halftime on their own 46 yard line and drove the ball into Memphis territory to the Tigers 15. On 1stand-10 from the Memphis 15, defensive back Bobby McCain intercepted a Griffin pass at the 21 yard line and raced 79 yards for the go-ahead score at 20-17.

shellacking of Louisville at Papa John’s Stadium. Memphis missed the PAT after McCain’s score, but had the momentum. Tulane started the next possession on its own 33, but was forced to punt after gaining only five yards. On the punt attempt, the Tigers’ special teams unit got into the act when Ricky Holloway blocked the Green Wave punt, and Kendrick Golden picked up the loose ball and returned it eight yards inside the Tulane 10 yard line. Four plays later, Reed accounted for his third touchdown of the game when he hit pay dirt from one yard out to give the Tigers a 26-17 advantage. After a Tulane missed field goal attempt in the fourth quarter, the Tigers took over and marched 71 yards for the game-clinching score. Memphis moved the ball inside the Tulane 25 yard line, where Billy Foster found the endzone on a reverse from 22 yards out to give the Tigers a commanding 33-17 lead with only 6:55 remaining in the contest. Memphis got the scoring started in the first quarter on its second drive of the game. The Tigers moved the ball to the Tulane 2 yard line on 10 plays, with the largest gain on the possession a Reed-to-Foster 36-yard screen pass. On the 11th play of the drive, Reed hit Justin Henderson from two yards out for a 7-0 lead. After Tulane answered with an early secondquarter Santos field goal, Reed directed his second touchdown-scoring drive of the first half.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Jeff Godfrey led a balanced UCF attack that finished with 505 total yards of offense en route to defeating Memphis 41-0 at Bright House Networks Stadium. The Knights jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after Godfrey orchestrated a five-play, 70-yard drive to start the game. Memphis (2-7, 1-4 C-USA) was unable to get a first down on its first offensive play of the game and punted the ball back to UCF. Faced with a fourth-and-one situation on his 29-yard line during their next possession, Godfrey rushed for two yards to extend the drive. UCF drove down to Memphis’ 19-yard line, but was unable to capitalize after Nick Cattoi missed a 36-yard field goal attempt. Taylor Reed completed a 21-yard pass attempt to Tannar Rehrer on the Tigers’ next dive, but Memphis couldn’t get another first down and was forced to punt. It was the 13th-straight game Rehrer has caught a pass. UCF then marched down the field in a six-play drive that was capped by a 19-yard run by Quincy McDuffie that put the Knights ahead 14-0. Memphis was forced to punt after three plays on the next drive, and UCF took over on its 28-yard line. UCF used a series of methodical plays on its next drive and went ahead 21-0 after a 16-yard rush by Ronnie Weaver. The Tigers’ saw what turned out to be their best chance of the evening to score on the next drive. Memphis went down to UCF’s 24-yard line on a drive that was highlighted by a 28-yard completion

Davis Troy sacked Reed on third down of the Tigers’ first drive of the second half, and the Knights took over on Memphis’ 38-yard line after a 28-yard punt by Tom Hornsey. Tommy Walker made a tackle for loss for the Tigers on the first play of UCF’s next drive, which helped hold the Knights to a field goal attempt. Shawn Moffit converted the 35-yard attempt to extend the UCF lead to 24-0. A 25-yard Godfrey to McDuffie connection highlighted the next UCF scoring drive, in which the Knights went 76 yards in seven plays to push their lead to 31-0. A false start penalty on third down stalled Memphis on its next drive, and the Tigers punted it away. The Tigers’ defense held UCF to three plays on the ensuing possession, and Memphis regained possession at its three-yard line. Another false start penalty on third down derailed the Tigers’ drive, and they punted it back to UCF. The Knights took over at the 30-yard line of Memphis, but the Tigers’ defense held them to another field goal by Moffit, which made the score 34-0. Each team went three-and-out its next drive, but the Knights tacked on another score on their following possession. A two-yard rush by Brynn Harvey capped UCF’s final scoring drive.

Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium November 12, 2011 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis running back tandem of sophomore Jerrell Rhodes and redshirt senior Billy Foster combined for 182 rushing yards and three scores, but it wasn’t enough as longtime rival UAB scored 24 unanswered points in the final quarter for a come-from-behind 41-35 Conference USA win over the Tigers. Rhodes finished with a career-high 95 yards on 17 carries, and Foster added 87 yards on 10 rushes. The Tigers honored their 16 seniors prior to the game in “Senior Day” ceremonies, before a crowd of 17,848 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Memphis held a 21-10 advantage at halftime, but the Blazers threatened to cut into the Tigers’ lead on their opening drive of the second half. UAB started on its own 29 and moved the ball inside the Memphis 20, where defensive back Bakari Hollier forced a fumble that Akeem Davis recovered at the 23 yard line, halting the Blazers’ scoring drive. On the ensuing possession, Memphis kept the ball on the ground and, in nine plays, moved it to the UAB 1. From there, Rhodes hit paydirt to give the Tigers a 28-10 advantage with 7:27 left in the third quarter. Foster accounted for 34 rushing yards on the drive, while Rhodes gained the final 11 yards on three plays for the touchdown. The Blazers responded quickly on their next drive, scoring a touchdown in just over two minutes. UAB moved to the Memphis 47 yard line in five plays, and from there, scored when quarterback Jonathan

Perry found Jamarcus Nelson in the flat and Nelson weaved his way for the score. Memphis then answered with a quick 1:19 drive that ended in a Rhodes 22-yard scamper to the endzone. The Tigers were set up with a short field when Hollier returned the kickoff to the UAB 49. From there, Foster gained 19 yards to the Blazers’ 30, and then Rhodes rushed for eight yards, setting up his touchdown run on the next play. The scoring ended for the Tigers there, as they were shutout and managed only 28 yards of total offense in the final quarter. While the Memphis offense slowed down, the UAB offense picked up the pace, scoring 24 points and piling up 200 yards of total offense in the fourth quarter. The Blazers scored on four-straight possessions in the fourth quarter. After a Ty Long field goal and a Nick Adams touchdown pass from Perry cut the Memphis lead to 35-27, the Blazers scored a second touchdown in the period when Perry hit Nelson from 42 yards out to slice the lead to 35-33 with 7:08 left. The two-point conversion failed, allowing Memphis to continue to hold the advantage. The Blazers’ defense held Memphis to a 3-andout on its next possession, and after a Tom Hornsey 43-yard punt, UAB started the game-winning drive on its own 23 yard line. Perry went 5-of-7 passing for 47 yards on the drive, and his last connection was a 13-yard strike to Nelson at the Memphis 10. On the next play, Greg Franklin bulled his way over the goal line to give the Blazers its first lead of the game. After the two-point conversion, UAB led 4135 with 1:28 left.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis forced six turnovers, which led to 10 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers (2-9; 1-6 C-USA) fell 23-22 to the Marshall Thundering Herd (5-6; 4-3 C-USA) in a heartbreaker at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on Thursday night. The four fumbles caused were the most by the Tigers since 1995 against Michigan. Marshall scored first on a 45-yard pass from Troy Evans to Antavious Wilson to give the Thundering Herd an early 7-0 lead in the second minute of play. Memphis answered with a 69-yard, 10-play scoring drive, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by Billy Foster to tie the game at 7-7 midway through the first period. The drive also featured 48 yards on 5-of-5 passing from Taylor Reed. After the Tiger defense forced another three-andout situation for the Herd, Marshall punter Kase Whitehead fumbled the snap, which was recovered by Kendrick Golden who returned it 36 yards for a touchdown to give Memphis a 13-7 lead early in the second quarter. Tyler Warner kicked a 20-yard field goal for the Herd to cut the Tigers’ lead to three going into the half. The field goal came at the end of a 14-play, 77-yard drive for Marshall.

Tom Hornsey who ran for a first down, but the drive ended when the Tigers failed to convert on third and eight. Late in the third quarter, Lavaris Edwards picked off Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato and returned the ball six yards to the Marshall 35. Andy Summerlin, who replaced injured Reed, connected with Justin Henderson for 20 yards, which set up a 26-yard Paulo Henriques field goal to give the Tigers a 16-10 advantage going into the fourth quarter. Defensive lineman Frank Trotter stripped the ball from Cato’s hands as he was sacked by Tommy Walker and Johnnie Farms and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown to give the Tigers a 22-10 lead early in the fourth quarter. Marshall wide receiver Andre Booker returned the ensuing kickoff 65 yards to the Memphis 21 and Tron Martinez ran it the rest of the way for a touchdown on the following play to bring the Thundering Herd within five points with 11 minutes left in the game. Trotter finished with six total tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and the fumble recovery for a touchdown. The Herd scored again midway through the fourth quarter on a 19-yard Travon Van rush to put Marshall ahead 23-22, but they failed to get the two point conversion. The Marshall defense held Memphis from moving the ball down the field on the following drive and forced the Tigers to turn the ball over on downs.

2011 REVIEW
HATTIESBURG, Miss. — The Tigers closed out the season on the road in Hattiesburg, Miss., with a 44-7 loss to Southern Miss at M.M. Roberts Stadium. Memphis scored its only touchdown on defense with just under seven minutes remaining in the game. Following a 12-play drive, the second-longest of the day for the Tigers, Tom Hornsey put the Golden Eagles on their own 4-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Jamal Woodyard rushed for a loss of two yards and Akeem Davis forced him to cough up the ball, which was recovered by Mitch Huelsing in the endzone for the touchdown. The fumble recovery was the fourth of the season for Huelsing and the first time he had scored on a recovery. The forced fumble was the third of the season for Davis. Huelsing, who also had an interception in the third quarter, led the Tigers in tackles with 11. He tied his previous career high, which was set last year against Tennessee. Redshirt-sophomore Andy Summerlin got the start for the Tigers at quarterback with Taylor Reed out with an ankle injury he suffered against Marshall. Summerlin completed 21 of 45 passes for 174 yards and two interceptions. Two receivers extended their double-digit receiving streaks as redshirt freshman Kevin Wright has caught a pass in each of the 12 games this season and senior Tannar Rehrer has caught a pass in 16-straight games, dating back to the Tennessee game in 2010. Rehrer finished the game with seven receptions for 53 yards, marking the ninth time this
season that he had registered five or more catches in a game. Rehrer closed out his senior season with 70 receptions for 593 yards. His 70 receptions places him second in the U of M single-season record book, just behind Isaac Bruce, who tallied 74 catches in 1993. Rehrer surpassed Duke Calhoun, who totaled 68 receptions in 2009, for the No. 2 spot. Southern Miss dominated the game, logging 540 yards of total offense, 387 of which were in the first half. The Golden Eagles rushed for 255 yards and passed for 285 yards. Austin Davis was 14 of 26 passing for 277 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Davis also rushed for 26 yards and scored on an 18-yard scamper in the second quarter. Tracy Lampley was a favorite target of Davis, hauling in five receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown. Lampley scored off a 49-yard pass from Davis in the second quarter. Southern Miss opened the game with a 41-yard Davis to Ryan Balentine hook up with 8:30 remaining in the first quarter. Two Southern Miss defenders got in on the scoring, making touchdown runs on both of their interceptions. Deron Wilson got the first “Pick 6” with his 35-yard return with just over a minute remaining in the second quarter. USM threatened to score again after Summerlin was sacked on the Tigers’ next drive and fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Octavius Thomas at the Memphis 17. Southern Miss was poised to score with just three

LOU GROZA AWARD
HISTORY
Former University of Memphis place-kicker Joe Allison enjoyed a record-setting career and a brilliant season in 1992, but he never dreamed that, in doing so, he would receive the Lou Groza Award, which is presented to the nation’s top college kicker. Allison, a native of Atlanta, Ga., led the nation in field goals per game, average field goals made per game, and kick-scoring for the final nine weeks of the 1992 season. His 23-of-25 field goals made were the most in the nation, according to the NCAA, and his 92.0 percent made rated best among all kickers for the year. “I did not know about the Lou Groza Award until we played Tulsa in late October,” said Allison. “After the game, Bob Winn (Assistant Athletic Director/ Communications) came up to me in the locker room and said that I was a candidate for the award. I didn’t even know who Lou Groza was at the time. “As soon as we returned to campus, I looked up Mr. Groza’s statistics in the NFL record book, and I talked to Coach Armstrong (UM kicking coach) about his career with the Cleveland Browns.” Allison continued on his torrid streak of field goals made throughout the remainder of the ‘92 season. Week after week, his name appeared at the top of the NCAA statistics for kickers and a campaign was started to let sports writers and voters throughout the country know about Allison’s feats. For his accomplishments, Allison was named first team All-America by The Football News, The Football Writers Association, the Associated Press, United Press International, College and Pro Football Weekly and The Sporting News. He is Memphis’ first-ever first team All-American on the Associated Press squad and was named to more first team All-America squads in one year than any other Memphis football Tiger in the school’s history. Following the Thanksgiving holiday, Allison suffered an attack of appendicitis and had an
J o e A l l i s o n, st a n d i ng wi t h Lou Groza, was the first re c ip ie n t o f t he p r est i gi o u s L o u Groza Award.

emergency appendectomy. The surgery kept Allison from traveling to Hollywood, Calif., to appear on the Bob Hope Christmas Special, and it was while he was in the hospital recovering from his surgery that Allison learned that he had won the Lou Groza Award. “Mr. Winn called and told me that I had won the award and it made me feel a whole lot better,” Allison stated. “I was determined that I was going to get well and travel to Florida for the awards ceremony.” Allison did indeed recover from his surgery and, with the assistance of former head coach Chuck Stobart and kicking coach Murray Armstrong, traveled to West Palm Beach, Fla., to receive the first national award ever won by a Memphis player. The December 10th program was emceed by ABC sportscaster Curt Gowdy, and Baylor University head coach Grant Teaff was the guest speaker. In accepting the Lou Groza Award from “The Toe” himself, Allison credited his snapper and holder and the entire Tiger special teams unit. “Out of the 57 snaps during the season,” Allison said, “I was the only one who made a mistake. Chad (Williams) did not have a bad snap, Andy (McWilliams) did not have a bad hold, but I missed two field goals. I couldn’t have done it without their help.” The cousin of the late NASCAR driver Davey Allison, Joe booted 32-of-32 PATs in 1992 and finished with a then-school-record 90 consecutive PATs made for his career. He set the Memphis record for field goals made in a single season when he kicked his 17th of the year in the Tigers’ win over Tulsa in 1992, and ended the year with 23. For 30 years, the school scoring record for a single season had been 84 points by Dave Casinelli (1963). In 1992, Allison broke Casinelli’s record during the Ole Miss game and finished the season with 101 points. He accounted for 35.2 percent of 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
all of the Tigers’ points in 1992. Allison held the Memphis record for 50-yard field goals in a season with three in 1990 before Stephen Gostkowski booted three in 2005. He has; however, hit more 50-plus yard field goals than any other player in Tiger history with five. Allison ranks third all-time in scoring with 262 points and in PATs made with 109, and ranks second in field goals made with 51. He held the No. 1 spots until Gostkowski completed his four-year career in 2005 and claimed the top spot in those categories.

RETIRED JERSEYS Since the University of Memphis first fielded an intercollegiate football team in 1912, only five jerseys have been retired. Those jerseys — 8, 30, 83, 79 and 20 — were worn by five outstanding individuals who helped make Tigers football what it is today. The latest jersey to be retired was that of All-American offensive lineman Harry Schuh, who was honored on October 15, 2011.
#83 ISAAC BRUCE Isaac Bruce came to the Memphis football team as a wide receiver in 1992. The junior college transfer made an immediate impact with the Tigers. Coupled with junior college quarterback Steve Matthews, Bruce helped give the U of M one of the nation’s top passing attacks. He started all 11 games as a junior and was the team’s secondleading receiver with 39 catches for 532 yards and five touchdowns. However, it was the 1993 campaign that caught the attention of pro scouts. The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., native opened the 1993 season with seven catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the Tigers’ win over Mississippi State. He added 147 yards against East Carolina, 109 in a contest against Arkansas State, 108 in the Tulsa game and had over 90 yards receiving in five additional contests. Bruce finished the 1993 season with a school-record 74 catches for 1,054 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 74 catches and 1,054 yards remain Memphis football records and his 10 touchdown receptions is fourth. Bruce was drafted in the second round by the St. Louis Rams in 1994. He played 14 seasons for the Rams and was signed by the San Francisco 49ers in 2008. He retired following the 2009 season, and In 16 years in the NFL, Bruce amassed 15,208 receiving yards and 91 touchdowns on 1,024 receptions. Bruce’s Memphis jersey was retired in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Field on October 4, 2003.
his record-breaking senior year, Casinelli became the first Tiger to rush for 1,000 yards in a singleseason when he tallied 1,016 on 219 attempts in 1963. His 1,016 yards ranked him first among all NCAA rushers and his 14 touchdowns helped him capture the national scoring title. Following graduation, Casinelli became a successful businessman in Memphis and Tallahassee, Fla. Casinelli later lost his life in a car accident in 1987.

CHARLES
DeANGELO
GREENHILL Charles Greenhill was called the “most talented football player ever to come out of Memphis, Tennessee.” The multi-talented Greenhill prepped at Frayser High School, where he lettered for three years in football, basketball and track. He played for the Tigers just one year (1983) before being killed in a plane crash with former head coach Rex Dockery and offensive coordinator Chris Faros. A defensive back, Greenhill had 20 tackles that season, including 13 solo stops. Greenhill was also a dandy return man for the Tigers. The 6-2 speedster returned a kickoff 69 yards for a touchdown against Cincinnati and went on to average 29.8 yards per return. Following his death, Firestone Stadium, which was the home field for Frayser High, was renamed Charles Greenhill Stadium.

SCHUH
CASINELLI
Harry Schuh became the fifth football player in Tiger history to have his jersey retired at the U of M. From 1962-64, Schuh was one of the most dominant offensive linemen in all of college football. The Pennsylvania native started for Coach Billy J. Murphy’s Tigers and helped his team to a three-year record of 22-5-1. By the conclusion of his senior season, Schuh had become the most decorated football player in school history. He was named to 11 All-America teams, including The Sporting News, Associated Press, United Press and the Football Coaches Association teams.

BURLEY BOWL • 1956 weather conditions and took charge of the Burley Bowl – which was witnessed by 700 fans on a frigid Thanksgiving afternoon – in the third quarter. The Tigers punched across three touchdowns in that third period to take control of the contest en route to the program’s first ever postseason bowl victory. The first time Memphis received the ball in the third quarter, fullback Bobby Brooks sprinted right up the middle, veered to the left and went 45 yards for a touchdown. And before that decisive period ended, the Tigers also scored on a one-yard plunge by Eddie Gebara and a 64-yard screen pass from Bubba Leonard to Gebara. Andy Nelson took a pitchout four yards for the final Memphis touchdown in the opening minutes of the fourth period. Leonard converted the PATs after the third and fourth touchdowns. East Tennessee’s last touchdown came midway in the fourth period when quarterback Joe Dixon ran in from one yard out. The Tigers ended the season with a 5-4-1 record, while East Tennessee State College dropped to 4-5 on the season.
MEMPHIS ST. COLLEGE 32 EAST TENNESSEE ST. 12 Memorial Stadium (8,000) November 22, 1956 JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — In November of 1956, Memphis State College received its second bowl bid in school history, but this time University officials accepted the invitation and the team traveled to East Tennessee to participate in its first post-season event. In 1938, the Tigers received an invitation to play in the Prune Bowl in California and asked bowl officials for a financial guarantee to help cover the cost of transporting the squad across country. When the guarantee did not come through, Memphis opted to stay home. In November of 1956, the Memphis squad finished the season with a record of 4-4-1 under head coach Ralph Hatley. Andy Nelson and Cotton Clifford served as team captains that year and helped Memphis to victories in two of the final three games of the season. During that three-week span, the Tigers had back-to-back shutouts, defeating Western Kentucky 42-0 and Arkansas State 34-0. November 22 was a cold and blustery day in Johnson City, Tenn. Not suited for football or any other outdoor event, the day was highlighted by a light snow fall and spitting rain and sleet. East Tennessee State College tallied the game’s first points on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Howard Tippett to halfback Bob Lindsey during the first period. The point after failed, as did most that day, and the Buccaneers led 6-0. The Tigers answered the ETSC score before
the first quarter ended. Bob Schmidt blasted into the end zone from two yards out and following the missed PAT by Memphis, the score was tied 6-6. Neither team could do much to defeat the weather the remainder of the first half, although the Tigers penetrated several times into Buccaneer territory in the second quarter. Memphis even moved down to the East Tennessee State 1-yard line before a fumble halted the drive. The first half ended with the score knotted at 6-all. It was not until the second half that the Tigers got their offense going. After being held to 6-all in the first half by a battling bunch of Buccaneers, Memphis shook off the effects of the biting cold

PASADENA BOWL • 1971 MEMPHIS STATE SAN JOSE STATE Rose Bowl (104,091) December 18, 1971
28 9
PASADENA, Calif. — A hard-nosed defense that caused numerous San Jose State mistakes and an explosive offense that capitalized on those miscues led the Tigers to a 28-9 Pasadena Bowl rout over San Jose State before a sparse crowd of 15,244 in the Rose Bowl. Memphis State, making its first major bowl appearance, trailed 3-0 early in the opening period until a blocked punt by Tom Carlsen, who was named the defensive player of the game, gave the Tigers a lead they would never relinquish. The Tigers received the opening kickoff, and failing to move the ball, were forced to punt from their own 26-yard line. The Spartans drove the ball 19 yards and attempted a 42-yard field goal that fell short and was returned by the Tigers. Following another failed drive, San Jose moved the ball to the Memphis 16-yard line before kicker Larry Barnes connected on a 33-yard field goal. It would be the only time that San Jose State would hold a lead in the game. With 50 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Trojan punter John McMillan stood at his 15-yard line. Tiger defensive back Tom Carlsen blocked McMillen’s

punt and fell on the loose ball in the end zone for the score. Hal McGeorge added the point after, and Memphis had the lead 7-3. The Tiger defense gained an air of confidence and stopped San Jose State on the ensuing series. Following a short Trojan punt, the Tigers took over at midfield. With quarterback Al Harvey leading the offensive attack, the Tigers moved into scoring position. A 13-yard pass from Harvey to Dornell Harris, who was named the offensive player of the game, and runs by Harvey, Skeeter Gowen and Paul Wilson set up the Tigers at the 9-yard line. Harvey went the final nine yards on a run around right end. The 65-yard drive early in the second period gave Memphis a 14-3 lead at intermission. The Tigers kicked off to begin the second half. San Jose State couldn’t move but got a second chance when
Gowen fumbled on Memphis’ first offensive play. Bill Brown recovered on the Tiger 24 and a 14-3 Memphis lead looked very precarious. The Spartans moved all the way to the Tiger 2-yard line. But on fourth down, the Tiger defense buckled down by meeting running back Joe Hicks at the line of scrimmage and slamming him to the Rose Bowl turf to end San Jose’s only real threat. The third period featured strong defensive play by both teams and when the quarter came to an end, the score remained 14-3 in favor of the Tigers. The final stanza opened with San Jose in control of the ball, but an interception and 27-yard return by the Tigers’ David Johnson, his second of the game, put the ball at the Spartans’ 18-yard line. Memphis tailback Gowen wasted no time in increasing the Memphis lead as he raced 18 yards to the end zone on the first play from scrimmage. The scoreboard read 21-3 in favor of the Tigers. Lightning struck immediately for Memphis. On the Spartans’ first play following the Tiger score, back Larry Lloyd fumbled and Memphis’ Carl Taylor recovered. Five plays later, Tiger fullback Clifton Taylor punched the ball in from the 1-yard line and Tiger fans rejoiced with a 28-3 lead and just 10 minutes remaining to play. Frustration mounted for San Jose State as the Memphis defense continued its strong play. Forced to pass the ball with time running out, Tiger cornerback Walter Daggett picked off the Tigers’ fourth interception of the afternoon to halt yet another Trojan drive. San Jose’s only touchdown was set up when a pass from center sailed over punter John Kidwell’s head and was recovered at the Memphis 20-yard line. A quarterback keeper by Brad Metheany with 36 seconds left in the contest got the Spartans their only touchdown. The extra point attempt was wide to the left. The victory over San Jose State marked the second bowl win for the Tigers in school history. The game also marked the end of an era in Tiger football history. Head coach Billy J. Murphy stepped down from his coaching position following the bowl win and dedicated his time to being the University’s athletic director. The former Marine compiled a record of 91-44-1 over his 14 seasons as head coach at Memphis.

NEW ORLEANS BOWL • 2003 MEMPHIS 27 NORTH TEXAS 17 Louisiana Superdome (69,767) December 16, 2003 NEW ORLEANS, La. — The nation’s longest bowl drought of 32 years ended in a big way for the University of Memphis. The Tigers, which had not participated in a bowl game since 1971, received a bid to the 2003 New Orleans Bowl to face Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas after a stellar 8-4 season. The city of Memphis was electrified. Excitement abounded and Tiger faithful began buying tickets and preparing for the trip to the “Big Easy.” Playing in the first bowl game of the 2003 postseason and before a national television audience on ESPN, the Tigers were challenged to stop the nation’s top running back in Patrick Cobbs of UNT. And Memphis would have to succeed without the services of its top tailback, DeAngelo Williams. Following three days of fun and practice, game day finally arrived on December 16. Memphis won the coin toss and deferred until the second half, giving the Mean Green the ball. UNT gave the ball to Cobbs six times on the opening drive, but were forced to call on kicker Nick Bazaldua when the drive stalled at the Tiger 30-yard line. Bazaldua booted a 47-yard field goal for the UNT 3-0 lead. But this night belonged to the bowl-hungry Tigers and the North Texas lead was short-lived. After U of M receiver Chris Kelley returned the kickoff to the Memphis 34-yard line, junior quarterback and New Orleans native Danny Wimprine took over. When rushes by Darron White and Derron Parquet failed to gain yardage, Wimprine went up top and connected with wideout Darren Garcia for 63 yards to the UNT 6-yard line. Three plays later, Wimprine kept the ball and raced seven yards into the end zone for the go-ahead score. The Tiger defense, having had a taste of the North Texas offense, returned to the field determined to shut down the Mean Green. Three plays later, punter Brad Kadlubar kicked the ball back to the Tigers. But possible disaster struck on the Tigers’ next possession as tailback Parquet was knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury. Memphis was forced to put the ball in
the hands of walk-on back LaKendus Cole to win the game. Midway through the second quarter, North Texas was forced to punt and the Memphis offense got the ball at the Memphis 24. Powered by the running of Cole and the passing of Wimprine, the Tigers drove the ball to the UNT 10-yard line before Wimprine found Kelley in the end zone for the team’s second score of the game. Stephen Gostkowski added the extra point, and the Tiger lead was 14-3. Lightning soon struck again. On the ensuing kickoff, Memphis’ Shaka Hill stripped the ball from returner Kevin Moore and Cato Mott recovered at the UNT 8-yard line. After three plays, Gostkowski was called on and connected on a 21-yard field goal. The Tigers went to the locker room with a 17-3 halftime lead. The third stanza of the game became a defensive battle, and both teams were unable to move the ball until the two-minute mark. The Mean Green, starting near midfield, marched 58 yards in six plays with Cobbs going the final 35 yards for their first touchdown of the night. Suddenly the score read
Memphis 17, North Texas 10 as the third quarter ended. With 12:28 left in the contest, Memphis regained the ball at its own 38-yard line. Wimprine hit receiver Darron White for 20 yards, and fullback Robert Douglas gained three on his first carry of the game. After a facemask penalty against UNT, Cole had gains of two yards and 14 yards to the Mean Green 5-yard line. On second-and-goal, the sophomore from Houston High in Memphis burst up the middle for the touchdown and a 24-10 lead. It was Cole’s first collegiate touchdown and gave Memphis an insurmountable lead. North Texas fought hard, and with 2:26 left in the game, scored again on Cobb’s run of two yards. But the Tigers immediately pushed the Mean Green down field for another score. This one iced the victory that had been so long awaited. With Cole gaining yards on the ground and Wimprine connecting with receivers Mario Pratcher and John Doucette, Memphis moved within field goal range, and Gostkowski brought on the celebration with a 42-yard kick. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the players gave head coach Tommy West the traditional cooler bath and then carried their coach onto the field on their shoulders. New Orleans Bowl director Ron Maestri presented the Tigers the championship trophy at midfield, and Wimprine was named the game’s MVP. LaKendus Cole was presented the game ball by Coach West after rushing for 62 yards and one score in a reserve role. Memphis completed the 2003 season with a record of 9-4, marking the best finish by a Tiger team since the 1963 season.

in the third period. P.J. Pope aided the Falcons’ cause with 151 rushing yards on 28 carries and two scores. The offensive fireworks started almost from the opening kickoff. After Bowling Green held the Tigers on their first possession, the Falcons took over on their own 41. Nine plays later, Pope found the end zone from a yard out for a 7-0 Bowling Green lead. However, the Falcons were not done. On the ensuing kickoff, Bowling Green pulled some trickery out of the playbook early with an onsides kick. The Falcons recovered the kick, and the Bowling Green offense was back in business. Jacobs directed a four-play, 52-yard drive in only 45 seconds to give the Falcons a 14-0 lead just over five minutes into the contest. The score came when Jacobs connected with Charles Sharon from 18 yards out.
Memphis got its second possession of the game and took little time cutting the Bowling Green lead in half. The Tigers went 80 yards in seven plays, and the drive culminated in a Wimprine-to-John Doucette 42yard touchdown toss with 6:51 left in the first quarter. With the game taking on a back-and-forth nature, the Falcons answered immediately. Jacobs led Bowling Green on a six-play, 68-yard drive over the next 2:05 to put the Falcons ahead 21-7. Jacobs hooked up with Sharon for a 36-yard scoring toss. In the second quarter, the Tigers scored 17 seconds into the period on a Wimprine 60-yard pass to Chris Kelley. The score began a five-touchdown quarter that ended with the Falcons holding a 35-28 halftime lead. Memphis was able to pull even at 28-all on a Williams’ 31-yard touchdown scamper with 3:37 left. Bowling Green, though, had one final answer before halftime. Jacobs threw his fourth touchdown pass of the first half when he found Steve Sanders in the end zone with only :37 on the clock. The score gave the Falcons a 35-28 lead and the momentum heading into the second half. After the break, Bowling Green took control of the game. The Falcons scored the lone touchdown in the third quarter -- Jacob’s fifth touchdown pass -- and added 10 points in the final quarter before Memphis’ last score with under five minutes to play for the 52-35 final. Tim Goodwell finished the game with 10 total tackles (five solo), two TFL and a quarterback sack to lead the Tiger defense. Jovon Burkes led the Bowling Green defense with 11 hits (six solo) and two TFL. Wimprine went over 10,000 yards passing and finished his career with nearly every Tiger passing record. The Tiger quarterback tops the Memphis record book for career passing yards (10,215), completions (808), attempts (1,469) and touchdowns (81). Before his third quarter injury, Williams went over 4,000 career rushing yards. The 100-yard GMAC Bowl performance was the 24th 100-yard rushing game of his career.

MOTOR CITY BOWL • 2005 MEMPHIS AKRON Ford Field (50,616) December 26, 2005
38 31
DETROIT, Mich. — It was the holiday season, and the Memphis Tiger football team gave its fans a Merry Christmas – even though it came a day later. Behind a DeAngelo Williams 238-yard rushing performance and three Stephen Gostkowski field goals, the Tigers posted their second postseason victory in three seasons with a 38-31 win over Akron in the 2005 Motor City Bowl. The game was played at Ford Field, the site of the NFL’s 2006 Super Bowl in early February. Williams, who was named the Motor City Bowl MVP, compiled his bowl record-setting 238 yards on 31 carries and scored three touchdowns. Gostkowski hit field goals of 32, 25 and 50 yards, and the 50-yard effort set a Motor City Bowl mark. The way the game started gave no indication it would end up being a 38-31 shootout. The Memphis offense sputtered at the start, and the Tigers relied on their defense and punter Michael Gibson’s foot. The Tiger defense allowed the Zips only three points, despite having two first-quarter drives deep in Memphis territory. Akron got the field goal on its second drive, but on the first trip across the 50 yard line, the Zips’ series was halted at the Memphis 25 when Tim Goodwell and Rod Smith stopped Brett Biggs on 4th-and-1. Gibson played just as important a role in the first quarter with two long punts – 51 and 49 yards – that pinned Akron inside its own 10 yard line both times. After watching the defense keep the Tigers in the game in the first quarter, the Memphis offense got on track in the second frame. Williams, who gained only 19 yards in the first quarter, picked it up on the Tigers’ first scoring drive with 34 yards on the ground. Tiger quarterback Maurice Avery also found his groove in the second quarter, hitting Ernest Williams on a 42-yard strike to the Akron 23. Four plays later, Gostkowski connected on a 32-yard field goal to tie the contest at 3-all. The Tigers kept it going. The defense held the Zips to three-and-out on their next series, and the Memphis offense continued to roll. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Avery found his target in Ryan Scott for a 50-yard gain to the Akron 2 yard line. Williams then pushed the ball across the goal line for the first Memphis lead of
the game. After Gostkowski’s PAT, the Tigers led 10-3. With just over four minutes left before halftime, Akron got the ball with an opportunity to cut into the Tiger lead, but it didn’t happen. The Tiger offense took over with 2:30 on the clock and took advantage of another scoring chance. After two rushes netted a minus-3 yards, Avery took back to the air and again hit Scott for a long gain – this time, 48 yards – to the Akron 27. From there, the Tigers moved the ball to the Zips 7, where Gostkowski hit his second field goal for a 13-3 Tiger halftime lead. The early portion of the second half looked no different for the Akron offense. Stymied by the Tigers in the first half, the Zips were unable to get past their own 40 yard line on the first two possessions. Aided by two Akron defensive pass interference calls, the Tigers moved down to the Akron 2, where Williams scored his second touchdown for a 20-3 Memphis lead. With only three minutes left in the third quarter and down 20-3, the Zips scored via the air on the ensuing drive. Zips quarterback Luke Getsy was 6-of-7 passing for 80 yards on the series that resulted in a 46-yard scoring strike to Jabari Arthur to cut the Tiger lead to 20-10.
The game moved into the fourth quarter, and the shootout began. Gostkowski got it started with a 50-yard field goal for a 23-10 Tiger lead. Akron responded with a quick three-play, 80-yard drive to cut the Memphis lead to 23-17. The big play was a Getsy-to-Biggs 72-yard scoring strike. The Tigers then answered with their own big play in the form of Williams. With the Zips closing in and also gaining momentum, Memphis’ All-America running back took a handoff and raced 67 yards to the Akron 2. On the next play, Williams scored his third touchdown. Avery added the two-point conversion for a 31-17 Memphis advantage. The Tigers added another score on an Ernest Williams 5-yard run to increase the lead to 38-17 with only 6:38 left. However, the Zips did not quit. Akron scored two touchdowns in under six minutes to pull to within seven at 38-31 with only 50 seconds left. The Zips’ first drive took nearly five minutes, and ended when Getsy hit Domenik Hixon from 14 yards out. The Akron special teams then executed a perfect on-side kick, and recovered the ball at midfield with 1:45 left. One minute later, Getsy connected with Arthur for a 19-yard touchdown pass to cut the Tiger lead to 38-31. The Zips tried their magic one more time, but this time, the Tiger special teams recovered the on-side kick, and Memphis ran out the clock for the win. Goodwell, who received the UAW Lineman Award, led the Tiger defense with 12 tackles, five TFLs and two sacks.

NEW ORLEANS BOWL • 2007 FLORIDA ATLANTIC 44 MEMPHIS 27 Louisiana Superdome (68,500) December 21, 2007 NEW ORLEANS, La. — Four out of five. Let’s say it again! For the fourth time in the last five seasons, the Memphis Tiger football team earned a postseason bowl berth. Despite their 44-27 setback to Florida Atlantic in the 2007 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the Tigers and their fans had a lot to be proud of when looking at the entire 2007 campaign. The season began with a tough start, but Memphis caught its stride in late October and rode that wave to a fourth bowl game under head coach Tommy West. Let’s take a quick review: • A bowl looked like a distant dream after a 2-4 start to the season. • The schedule took on a major shift when the Sept. 8 game at Arkansas State was postponed due to inclement weather. The contest was moved to Sept. 27, making the Tigers play three games in 11 days. • After losing the first two games in the rugged three-games-in-11-days stretch, the Tigers suffered an even greater loss on the night of Sept. 30 when defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was shot and later died. After two days of emotional outpouring, the Memphis players took the field arm-in-arm for its

Conference USA home opener versus Marshall. The Tigers won the game 24-21. • With a home loss to Middle Tennessee in midOctober, bowl hopes were all but lost with three of the next four C-USA games on the road. • As was the trend in the Coach West era, the Tigers did not fold. Memphis won all three league road games (at Rice, Tulane and Southern Miss) in that stretch and repositioned itself in the bowl picture. • The Tigers sealed the bowl invitation with backto-back home wins over UAB and SMU to close the regular season. So, you ask, what did the Tigers accomplish? • A winning record for the fourth time in the last five years (2003-07). The last time Memphis did that was from 1973-77 when the Tigers had five-straight winning seasons. • Six conference wins, the most league victories in school history. • A second-place C-USA East Division finish, the second in three years. • A fourth bowl in the last five years, the first time

for a stretch like that in school history. Granted, the bowl setback to Florida Atlantic put a small bitter taste in the mouths of the Tigers, but Memphis’ “never-give-up” attitude kept them in the game until the end despite several injuries that sidelined key Tigers. Kicker Matt Reagan left the game with a concussion and receiver Maurice Jones was sidelined with a dislocated hip. In addition, T.J. Pitts broke his ankle and quarterback Martin Hankins was knocked out of the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Before a crowd of 25,146 at the Louisiana Superdome, seniors Martin Hankins and Joseph Doss went out in style with solid performances. Hankins was 25of-39 passing for 281 yards and three scores, while Doss rushed for 91 yards on 20 carries and caught a team-high five passes for 42 yards. With his 281 yards passing, Hankins set the Memphis single-season mark with 3,220 yards. He also set season records for completions (261) and touchdowns (25). For his career, Hankins totaled 5,770 yards, 43 touchdowns and 487 completions — all second to Danny Wimprine. In the game, Hankins’ favorite targets were Carlos Singleton (4 receptions/63 yards/1 TD) and Duke Calhoun (4 catches/40 yards). With their receptions, both Singleton and Calhoun extended streaks. Singleton extended his streak to 21 games with a reception, while Calhoun caught a pass in all 24 of his collegiate games. After a first quarter warm-up with Florida Atlantic leading 17-7, the teams combined for 26 points in the second period. Two Joey Mack field goals kept the Tigers close, but the Owls answered with touchdowns for a 30-13 lead. However, Memphis closed the gap to 30-20 just before the half when Hankins hit Earnest Williams from 19 yards out. Following halftime, Memphis cut further into the Florida Atlantic lead. A Hankins-to-Singleton six-yard scoring connection sliced the Owl lead to 30-27 with 9:30 left in the third quarter. However, Florida Atlantic scored the final two touchdowns for the 44-27 final. Punter Brent Sutherland set a New Orleans Bowl record with a 70-yard punt in the fourth quarter. He finished the game with six punts for a 45.2 average. Clinton McDonald led the Memphis defense with eight total tackles, while Jeremy Rockette and LaKeitharun Ford each had seven hits. McDonald also had one quarterback sack and two TFLs. LeRico Mathis recorded his third interception of the season, tying him for team-high honors with Brandon Patterson.

MAGICJACK ST. PETERSBURG BOWL • 2008 MEMPHIS 14 USF 41 Tropicana Field (33,000) December 20, 2008 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — This was the bowl game head coach Tommy West wanted for his program. Sure, he and his Tigers enjoyed their bowl trips four of the previous five years. But, this invitation to the inaugural magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl was — in Coach West’s eyes — an opportunity to see where Memphis stood on the national scene, no matter the game’s outcome. The bowl game had Memphis playing its first BCS league foe in school postseason history, as the Tigers faced the USF Bulls. While the previous bowl trips were important in their own right, Coach West believed this bowl would set the course for the direction of the program’s future. The Bulls won the game 41-14 before a predominantly pro-USF crowd of 25,205 at Tropicana Field, home of the MLB American League champion Tampa Bay Rays. The appearance at Tropicana Field made history for the Tigers, as it was the first time Memphis played in a Major League Baseball stadium. As for the game, it pitted one of the nation’s best rushing offenses (Memphis) against one of the country’s top rushing defenses (USF), and on this day, the defense won the battle. The Tigers entered the contest averaging over 200 yards via their ground game, but the Bulls had the nation’s ninth-best rushing defense and it showed. USF held Memphis to only 66 yards on 30 carries, and Tiger running back Curtis Steele, a 1,000-yard rusher, gained most of those with 48 yards on 12 rushes. While the Bulls’ defense shut down the Memphis offense, the Tiger defense had no answer for USF quarterback Matt Grothe, who was named the bowl game’s MVP. Grothe was 17-of-24 passing for 236 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 83 yards on 15 carries. He also had one reception for 14 yards. Grothe did all of his damage in the first three quarters, as he sat out the final period. The Bulls got started early and never looked back. On the game’s opening kickoff, USF’s Dontavia
Bogan took Matt Reagan’s kickoff at the 1 yard line and returned it 56 yards to the Memphis 43. Three plays later, the Bulls were on the board when Grothe hit Taurus Johnson with a 28-yard scoring strike for a 7-0 lead. The USF scoring drive only took 1:02 off the clock. Later on in the first period, USF struck again on a short six-play drive. Grothe was 3-of-3 passing for 57 yards in putting the Bulls at the Memphis 4 yard line. From there, Ben Williams gained the final four yards and increased the USF lead to 14-0. However, West’s Tigers did not go away. On the ensuing drive, Memphis marched 73 yards on six plays and cut the USF advantage in half at 14-7. The drive only took 2:19, and it ended when Tiger quarterback Arkelon Hall hit paydirt from three yards out. The Bulls, though, took the momentum back on their next possession. After striking quickly on its first two scoring drives, USF put together a lengthy 14-play, 63-yard possession that ended in a Maikon Bonani 23-yard field goal for a 17-7 advantage. The drive took 5:51 off the clock.
After holding the Tigers on their next possession, USF had another five-minute scoring drive — this time, 5:24 — that culminated in a Grothe-to-Ben Busbee 13-yard touchdown connection to give the Bulls a 24-7 lead with only 4:15 left before halftime. Again, the Tigers mounted a response. With a little over four minutes before intermission, Memphis started on its own 20, and Hall led the way. The Tiger quarterback was 7-of-10 passing for 60 yards, including a two-yard touchdown pass to Duke Calhoun with 0:08 left in the second quarter. The score cut the USF lead to 24-14 at the break and pulled momentum back to the Tigers’ side. That momentum, however, swung back to the Bulls in the third quarter. The USF defense held Memphis to only 60 yards on its first two second-half drives, while the Bulls’ offense capitalized with 10 points to increase their lead to 34-14 by the end of the third quarter. Bonani added a 37-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, and Grothe threw his third touchdown pass near the end of the period to put the contest out of reach. The Bulls added a final touchdown early in the fourth quarter for the 41-14 final. Hall was 15-of-31 passing for 154 yards and one score. Calhoun was the Tigers’ leading receiver with a game-high six catches for 39 yards and one touchdown. Brandon Patterson led the Tiger defense with nine tackles. Grothe’s primary targets were Carlton Mitchell (60 yards) and Johnson (40 yards, 1 TD), who each had four receptions. Tyron McKenzie led the USF defense with a game-best 11 tackles.

UNDEFEATED TEAMS Three University of Memphis football teams have gone undefeated since the Tigers first took up the sport in 1912. The most recent Memphis team to go through a season without a defeat was the 1963 squad which ended the year 9-0-1. Memphis began its football program in 1912 and compiled a 1-2-1 record under head coach Clyde Wilson. The Tigers, then known as West Tennessee State Normal School, played Memphis University School to a scoreless tie in the first football game played at Memphis on October 5. The Tiger football squad notched its first victory three weeks later on October 26 against Bolton Agricultural 13-0. They eventually lost the final two games of the season to Christian Brothers College and MUS. The first undefeated team was coach Zach Curlin’s 1929 squad which posted an 8-0-2 record, scoring 146 points and limiting the Tigers’ 10 opponents to a mere 27 points. Memphis, which was captained by Slick Headden and Joe Koch, captured the Mississippi Valley Conference Championship with that undefeated season. Coach Allyn McKeen fielded one of the nation’s highest scoring teams in 1938, a season which saw the Tigers finish with a 10-0-0 record. Memphis scored 281 points during the year, while only yielding 41 points. The biggest margin of victory was a 68-0 thrashing of Cumberland College. The Tigers also defeated Arkansas A&M 50-0 later in the season. Roland McMackin captained the 1938 Tigers. The 1963 Memphis football team had only a scoreless tie with Ole Miss between them and a perfect season. The Tigers finished with a 9-0-1 record under head coach Billy J. Murphy. Unlike the 1938 team, which was noted for its offense, this team made its mark as a defensive club. There were five shutouts, and the five remaining teams scored only 52 points. The Tigers, captained by Richard Saccoccia, rolled up 199 points. The 1963 squad had wins over Southern Miss (28-7), Tulsa (28-15), North Texas State (21-0), West Texas State (29-14), Mississippi State (17-10), Louisville (25-0), South Carolina (9-0), Chattanooga (13-0) and Houston (29-6). Senior fullback Dave Casinelli led the NCAA in rushing and scoring during the 1963 season. Casinelli rushed for 1,016 yards and scored 84 points. He is the only Tiger back to win the national rushing and scoring titles.

HISTORY
1910s • The doors of West Tennessee State Normal School opened at 10 a.m., on the morning of September 10, 1912. Less than 300 students were enrolled in the two-year teachers school located in rural Shelby County. The campus consisted of three buildings that were erected at a cost of $450,000. President Seymore Mynders presided over a faculty that consisted of 25 teachers, including a young manual education instructor named Clyde Wilson. • On October 5, 1912, West Tennessee State Normal School played its first football game at Red Elm Park, home of the Memphis Turtles baseball team. The game pitted the Normals of WTSNS against MUS. Game time was slated for 2 p.m., and trollies from downtown Memphis were decorated with blue and gray ribbons, the official colors of the new school located in Shelby County. The Normals had put together a team that consisted of numerous Messick High School stars, including Brian and Don Hanley, and the Howerton brothers. Clyde Wilson, who had volunteered to coach the football boys, led his charges to a 0-0 draw with the powerful MUS squad. The game featured a 16-minute first half and a 12-minute second stanza. Thus started Tiger football. • West Tennessee State Normal School’s first football victory came in the 1912 season when the Tudors defeated Bolton Agricultural College 13-0. • West Tennessee State Normal School opened practice for the 1913 season on Sept. 17, 1913, and later that same day, President Seymore Mynders died and a grieving campus thought little of the football season at hand. In the first game of the year, the Blue and Gray lost 67-0 to Memphis High School, and the team never really recovered. Had it not been for a 13-0 win over Somerville High, WTSNS would have gone through the 1913 season winless. • Two assistant coaches were added in 1914 when the Normals faced the school’s first eight-game schedule. Hubert Dennison and Hugh Chandler were named to assist Clyde Wilson. On Sept. 14, 1914, The Commercial Appeal ran a photograph of Coach Wilson, marking the first time a photo involving Normal football appeared in local print. • In 1915, Cull Cullpepper joined the faculty at WTSNS after a brilliant football career at Auburn. With Cullpepper assisting Wilson, expectations were high for the coming football season. Normal opened the season with two disappointing losses to the Arkansas Aggies and Memphis HS, but then swamped Somerville HS 75-0. A close loss to MUS was followed by three victories to close out the campaign. After the final game, there was a spontaneous student parade, “with banners flying and with Normal yells and songs rending the atmosphere.” Several students, in their exuberance, shouted, “We fight like Tigers!” A new nickname was born. • Tom Shea, a renowned football player from the powerful Vanderbilt team, took over as head coach in 1916 and immediately led his team to the greatest barn burner in the school’s history. On October 14, 1916, West Tennessee State Normal School defeated Somerville HS 115-0 in the highest scoring game in Memphis history. In that contest, Elton McClure, a halfback, scored six touchdowns. Hugh Washburn, Rollin Wilson and Charlie DeSaussure tallied three
scores each, while Lacy Branson, Bob Berry and John McDougle each crossed the goal line once. Washburn kicked seven PATs. • The 1919 season found Bic Campbell become head football coach but early season injuries took Hugh Washburn, H.K. Grantham, Bob Berry, Rollin Wilson and Pete McIntosh. None were able to return for the 1919 campaign and the final team record was 3-4-0.
1920s • The 1920s opened with West Tennessee State Normal football falling to its lowest ebb. The 1920 squad posted a record of 0-5-0 and in fact scored only one touchdown on the season, that coming in the final contest of the year. So dismal was the football atmosphere that it appeared Normal would abandon the game in 1921. • The 1921 season opened with no coach and the realization that five starters had transferred to Union University. Rollin Wilson, a stunt pilot who was twice an All-Memphis selection at quarterback during his playing days for Normal, volunteered to coach the team. Wilson trained the young players and put together an amazing 4-5-1 record. Following the season, President A.A. Kincannon decided to employ a full-time athletic director and coach. The job was given to Lester Barnard. • With John Barnhill playing center, the 1922 team won five games, the most victories in a single season since the school’s inception. Barnhill would go on to become a renowned head coach at Arkansas and Tennessee. Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville was named in his honor. • The “high school era” ended in 1923 for West Tennessee State Normal School. From 1923 on, WTSNS would play only college teams and no longer would high school teams be accepted as opponents. Coach Barnard instilled the Tiger spirit in every man and each pregame prayer concluded with the whispered statement “Every Man A Tiger.” Barnard left Memphis in 1923 to become the head coach at Central Michigan Normal College. Thus began the Zach Curlin era. • Zachery Henry Curlin became the athletic director and head coach in the fall of 1924. He remained with the Tigers as football coach and athletic director for 14 years and continued to serve the institution until his retirement in 1960. Curlin had been a standout football player at Vanderbilt and came to the Normals with high recommendations. • The downtown newspapers began to use the nickname “The Tigers” more and more prior to the 1925 season. However, in 1925 the name of the school was changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College and publications began referring to the football team as the “Teachers or Tudors.” The Tiger nickname would not return for 15 years. • Under the direction of captain Graham Crawford, the 1927 Normals lost just two games, while capturing wins over Arkansas State College, Will Mayfield, Delta State College, Bethel, Lambuth and Arkansas A&M. • West Tennessee State Teachers College joined its first conference, the Mississippi Valley Conference, which included UT-Martin Junior College, Sunflower Junior College, Bethel, Delta State, Murray Normal, Lambuth and Little Rock College. • Allyn McKeen, who was practicing law in Memphis, volunteered to assist Curlin with the team in 1929. McKeen brought a more modern version of football to WTSTC, having just recently graduated from the University of Tennessee. That version was the single-wing. With players like Frank McGoffin, Gene Fulghum, captain Jimmy Graham and Rabbit Evans, the Teachers went undefeated, posting an 8-0-2 record and winning the school’s first conference 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
championship. Graham, who had become accustomed to playing without his helmet, learned the hard way that what the coaches said was law. When McKeen caught Graham entering a game without his helmet, he took a roll of adhesive tape and attached the helmet to Graham’s head. • On September 28, 1929, WTSTC played its first night football game. The contest, which pitted the Teachers against Sunflower Junior College, was played at Hodges Field “beneath the rays of 20 powerful projectors.” The Commercial Appeal wrote that the Teachers had no trouble seeing the ball at night as the locals won the game, 20-0, before 1,500 fans.
1930s • The 1930s opened with the Teachers again winning the Mississippi Valley Conference championship with a 6-3-1 record. In a runaway game against Arkansas State College, Sam Johnson scored five touchdowns and kicked seven PATs to lead the Teachers to a 73-0 victory. • In 1935, WTSTC left the Mississippi Valley Conference and joined the SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association) along with Middle Tennessee State College, Louisiana College, Delta State College, Troy State Teachers College, TPI (Tennessee Tech), Union University and Murray State Normal. • After an 0-9-0 record in 1936, Curlin stepped down as head football coach to devote his attention to his job as intramural director. Allyn McKeen was brought back to become head coach, and he immediately hired a friend from Tennessee as his assistant line coach. That assistant was Cecil C. “Sonny” Humphreys. In an effort to increase a very small athletic budget, each faculty member pledged a week’s salary to support the athletic program. • In 1937, West Tennessee State Teachers College had five buildings, 698 students and an annual budget of $56,000. • The 1938 season became WTSTC’s only undefeated and untied campaign in the school’s history. After posting a perfect 10-0-0 record, the Associated Press in New York (November 21, 1938) declared WTSTC as the nation’s scoring champions with San Jose State second. McKeen’s Teachers were invited to play San Jose State in the Prune Bowl in California, but due to a limited budget, school officials asked for a financial guarantee before taking the team to California. The guarantee never came and the boys from Memphis stayed home in 1938. • Allyn McKeen did not return as coach in 1939. He was hired by Mississippi State College as head football coach and has since been enshrined in the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame for his accomplishments at the two schools. Cecil Humphreys was named head coach at a salary of $200 per month.
1940s • West Tennessee State Teachers College became Memphis State College in 1941. • Ed Molinski, a three-time all-American at the University of Tennessee, became an assistant for Humphreys in 1941 and helped guide the team to seven wins. However, the winds of war loomed in the not too distant future. • On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and on the morning of December 8, 1941, C.C. Humphreys joined the FBI, accepting a position in counterintelligence. Most of the players enlisted in the armed forces after the 1942 season and football was disbanded until the 1947 season. • When football returned to Memphis State’s campus in 1947, Cecil C. Humphreys was hired as athletic
2012 MEMPHIS FOOTBALL Page 149
director and he in turn hired an old friend from the University of Tennessee to coach the football team. That friend was Ralph Hatley. Upon Hatley’s hiring, the coaching staff searched for ideas to improve Tiger football after the four-year delay caused by World War II. To put players in game situations, Hatley and his staff created the first Blue-Gray Spring Game. It was played in April of 1947. •T he 1947 roster featured all new players. No football lettermen from prior to World War II returned and, for only the second time in the school’s history, a coach was forced to start from scratch. The first and only other time was Clyde Wilson’s first team in 1912. With the help of a young assistant coach who had returned from the War as a decorated Marine, Hatley set out to sign new players. He and assistant Billy J. Murphy inked 37 players from Memphis, the most ever signed in one year from Memphis. • By 1949, the Tigers were rolling, scoring 385 points and allowing just 87 by opponents. Memphis State was ranked second in the nation in scoring offense in 1949 and again in 1950. The 21-14 victory over Kansas State University in 1949 was considered the first major victory for Memphis State College.

Alabama regained the lead 14-7 and set up a frenzied fourth quarter conclusion. In the fourth stanza, the Tigers moved inside the Alabama 5-yard line. So confident was Tiger quarterback James Earl Wright in his ability to score that he called a two-point conversion play to try and gain the touchdown. Wright put the burden of scoring on his own shoulders. He took the snap and sprinted to his right. When he spotted an opening in the Alabama defense, Wright dove for the end zone. “I landed three feet deep into the end zone, but the closest official had turned to get out of my way,” said Wright. “Finally, the official who was furthermost from the play, came in and spotted the ball at the one inch line and gave it to Alabama.” The game prompted Coach Bryant to say...”Wright is too good to play for anybody but the University of Alabama.”
1960s • The decade of the 1960s opened with the boys from Memphis State winning two games before taking on the Rebels of Ole Miss at Crump Stadium. The Rebels, led by All-American quarterback Jake Gibbs, were the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, and the Tigers, led by James Earl Wright, were a 32-point underdog. Even in their enthusiasm, Tiger fans had no idea that Wright would be honored as the Associated Press National Back of the Week for his play, beating out Gibbs. The 24,711 fans that packed Crump Stadium witnessed the Rebels score two late fourth quarter touchdowns to pull out a 31-20 victory over the Tigers. An area newspaper reported...”This was the largest crowd to ever see Memphis State play at home and perhaps the largest to ever see the Tigers. Under Billy J. Murphy, they’ve become a major power...on this night they really came of age against a magnificent foe.” • James Earl Wright became known as the Golden Boy of Tiger football. Although he played only one full, injury-free season, Wright won all-America honors, led the nation in passing and set school records in 10 categories. Before a career-ending knee operation on October 31, 1961, Wright had scored three touchdowns against The Citadel, two touchdowns and two TD passes against Hardin-Simmons, and three touchdown passes against Louisville. Shortly before surgery, Time magazine featured Wright as the nation’s touchdown leader and called the Tiger quarterback the “most dangerous back in the South.” When he left the Tigers in 1961, he held the record for the most total offense, most yards passing in a 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book

game, most touchdown passes in a game, most points scored in a game, most touchdowns in a season, most yards passing in a career, most touchdown passes in a career, most total offense in a career and longest touchdown pass from scrimmage. • In 1962, Memphis State reached a major milestone when the team claimed its first win ever over an SEC opponent and on the road to boot. On October 27, 1962, Memphis State defeated Mississippi State University 28-7. It was a watershed event that was followed with an epic 0-0 tie with No. 3 ranked Ole Miss in 1963. These two events indicated that Memphis State had finally reached the mainstream of college football. With a record of 4-1 to start the 1962 season, the Tigers and their fans traveled to Scott Field in Starkville, Miss., anticipating that first win against an SEC opponent. According to the Columns...”The Maroons scored on a pass play but this proved to be the only flaw in the Memphis State defense. Charles Killett tied the score from the two yard line and Russ Vollmer added the conversion. Vollmer broke the game open with a 73-yard kickoff return to set up his own touchdown. A key interception by John Bramlett set up Dave Casinelli’s slashing touchdown. Vollmer ended the scoring with a quarterback sneak for another score”. Thousands of fans and students from Memphis, sensing the victory, rushed the field at the end of the game to tear down the goal posts. A great melee developed between fans of the two schools and fists and cowbells flew intermittently on the field for an hour before police could restore order. The win was touted as the greatest in Memphis State football history and helped set the stage for the 1963 season. The Tigers finished the 1962 season ranked 17th in the final poll. • It had been 24 years since a Tiger football team experienced an undefeated season. But 1963 turned out to be one of those seasons that dreams are made of. With opponents like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Tulsa, Louisville and Houston, no one expected the Tigers to go through the campaign without a loss. After opening the season with a win over Southern Miss, the stage was set for the Memphis State-Ole Miss match up at Crump Stadium in Memphis. The Rebels were ranked No. 3 in the nation, and 31,650 fans packed the stadium for the contest. The game was described by Charles Gillespie of The Commercial Appeal as...”the first great shock of the 1963 intercollegiate football season. The two teams offered no quarter and none was given.” The Rebel team had not been shut out in 48 consecutive games, the Tigers in 23 games. However, the two teams battled to a 0-0 deadlock, marking the first time that Memphis State had not been beaten by the Rebels. Memphis State’s John Fred Ribilio was named the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Week for his play. • The second great game of the 1963 season came against another SEC opponent, the Bulldogs of Mississippi State University. Murphy remembered the game as the “toughest game ever played,” between the two teams. Russ Vollmer, the Tigers’ quarterback, remembered the game because of his acceptance by the Memphis State fans. It was the kind of game that gave birth to legends. Vollmer broke the opening kickoff 79 yards to set up Memphis State’s first score. In the second quarter, he returned a Mississippi State punt up the middle and cut toward the sideline, running out of bounds in the Mississippi State bench area. As he was attempting to return to the playing field, an over zealous Mississippi State player hit Vollmer with a “flying tackle.” It knocked him over the bench and down a concrete stairwell that led to the dressing rooms under the Crump Stadium stands. The fall injured Vollmer’s back and he was rushed to Methodist Hospital’s Emergency Room, which was located next to Crump Stadium. Mississippi State moved to a 10-9 lead at halftime. Vollmer was found to have no serious injuries and returned to the Tiger
HISTORY
•T he 1950s found Memphis State College opening the season with the Ole Miss Rebels before 21,000 fans in Crump Stadium. It was the largest crowd to date to witness a Memphis State game. As had been done eight times in the past, Ole Miss won the game. • I n 1951, Lou McLelland, a standout end for the Tigers, was named to Williamson’s first team all-American squad. In 1952, the Tigers defeated Louisville 29-25 in Memphis. The Cardinals quarterback that afternoon was Johnny Unitas. •T he highlight of the 1954 season came in Sugar Bowl Stadium in New Orleans, La., where the Tigers battled Tulane to a 13-13 tie. Andy Nelson scored both Tiger touchdowns. •M odern day offense came to Memphis State in 1955 when the Tigers switched from the old single-wing to the brand new split-T. In 1956, the Memphis State administration, along with the administration of Arkansas State, agreed to create “The Ole Paint Bucket,” a trophy that would be presented to the winning school in each year’s Tiger-Indian tilt. The trophy was designed to keep students from the two schools from painting each other’s buildings the week prior to the game. Memphis State captured the first two “Ole Paint Bucket” before the series was disbanded. The Tigers concluded the 1956 season playing in the Burley Bowl in Johnson City, Tenn. The boys from Memphis defeated East Tennessee State College 32-12 on November 22, 1956. • In 1957, Memphis State College became Memphis State University, and Ralph Hatley stepped down after the season to concentrate on his duties as a teacher. A former assistant coach under Hatley, Billy J. Murphy, took over as head coach and the greatest era in Tiger football got underway. • Billy J. Murphy accepted the position of head football coach on January 13, 1958, his 37th birthday. For the next 14 years Murphy would build the football team into one of the most powerful squads in the country. His 91-44-1 record stands as the winningest in Tiger football history. “No one else would have been tough enough to build a program there,” said former Ole Miss Rebel head coach John Vaught. “He built Memphis State football into what it is today. If he had been on my staff, we would have won the world.” • The Tigers, who had never been able to sign local high school football stars, began to land such players as John Fred Ribilio, John Bramlett and Russ Vollmer. Murphy sent coaches into West Virginia and New Jersey to ink players like Dave Casinelli, Dennis Biodrowski, Richard Adragna, John Cronin and Bob Finamore. • In 1959, the Tigers reached the national spotlight when they battled Alabama and its new head coach Paul

locker room with a few minutes remaining at halftime. Eugene “Doc” Smith, the athletic trainer, taped the Tiger quarterback while the team returned to the field and started the second half. Vollmer, alone, came up the steps from the dressing room and began trotting around the field to the Memphis State sideline. The crowd began to murmur and then roar. Vollmer reentered the game and engineered a 70-yard drive for the winning touchdown. He was named the Associated Press National Back of the Week for his heroic play. The Tigers went on to an undefeated season, and Billy J. Murphy was named The Football News National Coach of the Year. • The first major bowl bid (excluding the Prune Bowl offer in 1938) came as a result of the undefeated season. The Sun Bowl invited the Tigers to play in Texas. However, contact had also been made by the wealthier Gator Bowl in Florida, and the team and coaches voted to take the Gator Bowl bid when it came. The bid never came and one of the best major college teams in the country sat at home in 1963. • One of the most unusual events in college football occurred in 1964. Memphis State always held dates as late as possible in order to schedule SEC opponents. As the 1964 season drew nearer, the Tigers found themselves with just nine games. Athletic Director Eugene Lambert discovered that Southern Miss, already on the Tigers’ schedule for one game, also had just nine games. Thus came one of the most unusual arrangements in modern collegiate football. Contracts were signed to play a second game during the same season between the two teams. The first was to be played in Memphis and the second in Jackson, Miss. Unfortunately, Southern Miss won both games 2014 and 20-18. Harry Schuh, an offensive tackle for the Tigers, won first team All-America honors from Time, the Football Coaches Association, Playboy Magazine, TV Guide, United Press International and Associated Press. • Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium opened on September 16, 1965, and served as the new home for the Tiger football team. The stadium was built at a cost of $3.7 million dollars and was operated by the Memphis Park Commission. • In 1965, Memphis State took a 5 -4 record to Quantico, Va., with the greatest confidence of icing a respectable 6-4 season against the Marines of Quantico. Lore has it that Memphis sportscaster and Voice of the Tigers Jack Eaton made a comment about “those clowns from Quantico” over the air, and local marines and vets flashed the word to Virginia - perhaps to the Pentagon - and the best football players serving in the Marine Corps at the time were transferred to Quantico, some arriving the night before the game,

to face the Tigers. A festive group of Memphis State alumni from the Washington area drove down to see the game, but the grizzled marine sergeants on the other side of the field, some dressed in clown suits, made the most noise as they alternately beat a huge drum, cheered and consumed kegs of beer. The pride of the corps persevered 20-14. • Billy Fletcher was named the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Week, the Associated Press Back of the Week and United Press National Player of the Week for his play against 9th-ranked Mississippi State. Fletcher set the Memphis State passing record against the Bulldogs that night, completing 18-of-30 pass attempts for 257 yards. The Tigers were ranked 15th by Associated Press on October 19, 1965. After the season, Dr. Lambert resigned as athletic director, and Murphy assumed that role as well as head football coach. • The 1966 season concluded with the Tigers playing the 11th-ranked University of Houston Cougars in the Astrodome. The game marked the first ever indoor contest for the Tigers. Memphis State won the game 14-13. • The shot-heard-around-Memphis came in 1967 when the Tigers opened the campaign with the Rebels of Ole Miss. The Liberty Bowl was packed with 50,414 fans on Sept. 23 as the two teams met for the 21st time in the series. But, this time the outcome was different. Led by Nick Pappas, Bob Baxter, Ricky Thurow and Herb Covington, the Tigers answered every Rebel score with one of their own and won the contest 2717. The 1967 season also marked the first time that Memphis State appeared on regional television. On November 4, 1967, the Tigers took on Florida State University on ABC-TV. As a first-year member of the Missouri Valley Conference, the Tigers were now aligned with Drake, Louisville, Wichita State, Bradley, Cincinnati, Tulsa, North Texas State and Saint Louis, but were not eligible for the conference title in that first year of competition. • The highlight of the 1968 schedule was the meeting of Memphis State and the University of Tennessee for the first time in school history. The Highland Hundred booster club had printed thousands of bumper stickers saying...”Draft the Volunteers, get the MSU-UT football series.” A number of MSU students took the stickers and traveled across the state plastering cars. One group of students even went to Knoxville and stuck cars on the Tennessee campus. A bill was drafted to force the two teams to play, but the schools’ presidents met with Governor Buford Ellington and set up the home-and-home contests. The Tigers lost to Tennessee 24-17, but claimed the Missouri Valley Championship and Murphy was named the Conference Coach of the Year. • Louis Fernandez was selected to play in the Shrine North-South All-Star Game after the 1969 season, and Danny Pierce was picked to play in the East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco. The Tigers were ranked 20th in the nation in the final United Press poll, and David Berrong and Steve Jaggard were tied for third in the nation in interceptions with eight each. Offensive tackle Bob Parker was selected to UPI’s and The Football News All-America teams. Berrong was tabbed by the Associated Press and the Central Press Association on their All-America squads.
1970s • The Tigers opened the decade of the 1970s with Paul “Skeeter” Gowen finishing 11th in the nation in rushing. The team compiled a 6-4 record and brought the five-year won-loss record to 33-15. • In 1971, Memphis State claimed the Missouri Valley Conference championship, and for the first time since the 1954 Burley Bowl, earned that elusive bowl invitation. As conference champion, the Tigers were invited to the Pasadena Bowl to take on San Jose State. MSU won the game 28-9, but one note not covered in the 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
game stories was a run by tailback Skeeter Gowen in the fourth period. After breaking free around the end, he scooted over the goal line, hotly pursued by a gigantic Spartan lineman. In the end zone, Gowen slowed to stop. But the lineman kept coming. Gowen trotted out of the end zone. So did the lineman. At that point the little Memphis back raced up the stadium steps into the seating area. When the big lineman finally gave up, Gowen sat down in the spectator seats, placed the ball in his lap and caught his breath. • On February 5, 1972, Billy J. Murphy, the winningest coach in Tiger football history, announced that he was giving up coaching to devote himself full-time to his job as athletic director. In his war to bring Memphis State into national prominence, Murphy amassed a 91-44-1 record. At the beginning of his final season, the Tiger coach was rated the nation’s 15th winningest football mentor. As he had promised, Murphy built a winner in five years. Enter Fred Pancoast. • The 11th head football coach at Memphis State was Fred Pancoast. A native of Florida and a former University of Georgia and Florida assistant coach, Pancoast found a wealth of talent among the players he inherited. He quickly changed the team’s look by adopting Dallas Cowboys-style uniforms. • The Tigers were 5-5-1 under Pancoast in 1972, but the 1973 season contained numerous highlights, including MSU’s first win in history over Ole Miss in the state of Mississippi. Playing the Rebels in the third game of the season was not normal but in 1973, MSU had Louisville and North Texas State scheduled ahead of its nemesis from Oxford. Powered by the arm of David Fowler and the legs of Cliff Taylor and Dornell Harris, the Tigers prevailed 17-13. • Pancoast left Memphis State after the 1974 season to accept the head coaching position at Vanderbilt. He had posted a record of 20-12-1 in three short seasons and had gained wins over Ole Miss and Florida State among others. • Richard Williamson, an assistant coach at Arkansas and Alabama, was hired on January 20, 1975, to replace Pancoast. Williamson, a former wide receiver for the University of Alabama and who caught Joe Namath’s first career touchdown pass, was hired to direct the Tiger football fortunes. At 33-years-old, Williamson was one of the youngest head coaches in the nation. A hard-nosed disciplinarian, Williamson would weather several storms during his tenure at MSU. • The Tigers traveled to Auburn, Ala., to play the second game of Williamson’s career. Shug Jordan was entering his final season at Auburn, and the legendary coach and his team were set to meet the Tigers. Sixth-ranked Auburn was stunned by the Tigers and trailed 24-0 at halftime. The home team roared back in the second half, but led by quarterback Kippy Brown, tailback Terdell Middleton and receivers Earnest Gray and Keith Wright, Memphis State prevailed and won the contest 31-20. Other victories in 1975 included Florida State, Houston and Louisville, and the Tigers’ final ledger read, 7-4-0. • Many think the 1976 schedule was the most difficult ever played by the Tigers. The team opened the season like gangbusters, beating Ole Miss and Florida State before dropping a game to Tulsa. Then came wins against SMU and Auburn. With a 4-1 record, the Tigers were ready to take on Mississippi State in the Liberty Bowl. It seemed like the Tigers were set to win the rest of their games. But, on Monday prior to the game, two linebackers quit the team and in a solidarity move, many African-American players boycotted practice. The mood of the team was disrupted and the Tigers lost the game 42-33. MSU added two more victories before losing 21-14 to Tennessee in Memphis. Memphis State split its final two games of the year to post its second consecutive 7-4-0 season. What might have been, never was. • The highlight of the 1977 season was a 21-13 win over Mississippi State and its head coach Bob Tyler. It marked the first non-conference loss for Tyler in
2012 MEMPHIS FOOTBALL Page 151
his tenure at Mississippi State. Tiger tailback Eddie Hill was named the Associated Press National Back of the Week for his play. Later in the season, Tiger quarterback Lloyd Patterson was named the Associated Press Back of the Week for his play against Southern Miss, although it was Bob Orian’s 91-yard return of a Golden Eagle pass that set up the win. • The latter stages of the 1970s found the Tigers having up-and-down seasons, and after a disastrous 1980 campaign, Richard Williamson was notified that he would not be retained for the 1981 season. Thus ended the Williamson era at Memphis State University.
1980s
1990s • I n 1991, Stobart’s Tigers again put the school’s name in headlines across the nation by beating the 14th-ranked Trojans of Southern Cal 24-10 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The passing of Keith Benton and the rushing of Larry Porter aided in the monumental victory. The Tigers scored the first points of the game on a 45-yard field goal by Joe Allison. During the next three minutes, the Trojans marched 81 yards in 10 plays. Junior tailback Mazio Royster, USC’s Heisman Trophy candidate, did most of the damage in the drive, but it was quarterback Reggie Perry who went the final 20 yards for the touchdown. After a Cole Ford field goal, Memphis trailed 10-3 at halftime. But the second half belonged to the boys from Memphis. On the opening drive, Benton hit wide receiver Russell Jones with a 40-yard touchdown strike and suddenly the score was tied at 10-10. Xavier Crawford and Porter began banging away on the ground in the third and fourth quarters and set up a four-yard touchdown pass from Benton to fullback Jeff Bynum to give the Tigers a 17-10 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, the Trojans bobbled the ball and it was recovered by the Tigers’ Rod Brown. Three consecutive rushes by Crawford gained the Tigers their final score of the day and provided the 24-10 margin of victory. Actress Cybill Shepherd was presented the game ball since she gave the team an inspiring pregame speech in the locker room. Memphis gained wins over Mississippi State, Southern Miss and Louisville on its way to a 5-6-0 record. • During the 1992 and 1993 seasons, the team’s record improved to 6-5-0 and included impressive wins over Arkansas, Tulane, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. In 1992, Tiger cornerback Ken Irvin placed his name in the NCAA and Memphis record book by blocking four punts in a single game. The Tigers were hosting Arkansas in Memphis for the first time in the two schools’ histories, and Irvin used the opportunity to not only log a couple of records but help Memphis to a 22-6 win over the Razorbacks. In a span of 60 minutes, Irvin broke the oldest record in the NCAA record book. The 1992 Memphis-Tulane game in the New Orleans Superdome saw the greatest first-half offensive explosion in modern Tiger history and produced the most points scored by a Tiger team in 23 years. Memphis tallied 35 points in the first quarter on touchdowns by tailback John Martin (2), wide receiver Isaac Bruce, flanker Mac Cody and strong safety Sam Edwards. Martin and Bruce added second quarter scores to up Memphis’ halftime lead to 49-13. Cody caught his second touchdown pass of the game in the third stanza, and kicker Joe Allison added a 31-yard field goal to push the Tiger lead to 59-20. Allison booted his second field goal 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book

HOMES OF THE TIGERS • 1912-1921 • Games were played on the campus of the University of Memphis, then known as West Tennessee State Normal School and at Red Elm Park. • 1922-28 • Games were still played on campus and at Russwood Park. During the 1926 season, one game was played at Crump Stadium, which had one set of wooden bleachers on the north side. • 1929-31 • Games were played on campus and at Hodges Field in Memphis. • 1932-35 • Games were still played at Hodges Field and on campus. • 1936 • The Tigers moved some of their home games to the Fairgrounds Stadium while also playing on campus. • 1937 • Half of the 1937 home season was played at the Fairgrounds and the final half of the year was spent at Crump Stadium in Midtown. • 1937-64 • The Tigers continued to play all of their home games at Crump Stadium. In 1939, the WPA built concrete stands on the north side of the field, and in 1947, the WPA added the home side stands, completing the concrete facility. • 1965-present • In 1965, the City of Memphis constructed Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium (then called Memphis Memorial Stadium) as a home field for the University of Memphis. The Tigers opened the stadium versus Ole Miss on September 18, 1965. of the game in the fourth quarter to make the final margin of victory a whopping 62-20. With his three field goals against Tulane boosting his season total to 19, Joe Allison laid claim to the 1992 Lou Groza Award. The Groza Award, presented each year to the nation’s top kicker, was the first national award ever won by a Memphis football player. The cousin of the late NASCAR driver Davey Allison, Joe finished the season with 23 made field goals. He was named to six All-America teams, in addition to being named the recipient of the Groza Award. • I n 1993, Memphis State shocked the nation by opening the season with a 45-35 victory over the nationally-ranked Bulldogs of Mississippi State. Senior quarterback Steve Matthews completed a school record 29-of-45 pass attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns. The lefthander set Tiger records for most pass completions in a game (29) and for most attempts in a game (45). In addition, he ran for a 41-yard touchdown and finished the game with 362 yards of total offense. Matthews was named the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Week for his part in the Tiger win. The Tigers reached another milestone when they appeared on their first nationally televised broadcast against the Miami Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl. The game was carried by ESPN. Memphis had played in several regional broadcasts on ESPN and ABC, but had never played in a national broadcast. • The 1994 season marked the end of an era for head coach Chuck Stobart, but still found Tiger football battling for that elusive bowl bid. As a member of
HISTORY
• After opening the decade of the 1980s with the dismissal of Williamson, Rex Dockery, a former University of Tennessee player and the head coach at Texas Tech, was hired to direct the Tiger football fortunes. • In 1981, Bob Patterson was hired to replace Billy J. Murphy as athletic director. Patterson, a former Tiger offensive lineman, had come to MSU with Rex Dockery from Texas Tech. In November 1982, Charles Cavagnaro was hired to replace Bob Patterson as athletic director at Memphis State University. Cavagnaro, a graduate of MSU, had worked as a sports writer and editor of The Commercial Appeal. He had also spent time as the general manager of the Memphis Pros of the American Basketball Association. • The 1981 and 1982 seasons were a struggle for Dockery and his staff. The Tigers battled to escape the noose of the nation’s longest losing streak. After gaining his first coaching victory at MSU against Georgia Tech on September 26, 1981, the Tigers dropped the next 17 consecutive games. On November 27, 1982, the Liberty Bowl erupted when the Tigers defeated Arkansas State 12-0 to break the streak. • The frustrations of the past two seasons exploded in the opening contest of the 1983 season. The Tigers opened against Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl and handed the Rebels their worst defeat in a game against the Tigers in the history of the series. Powered by the running of Jeff Womack and Punkin Williams, MSU knocked off Ole Miss 37-17. After losses to North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Alabama, the Tigers rebounded to win against Tulane, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Cincinnati and Louisville to finish the season as the NCAA’s second-most improved team. From 1-10-0 in 1982, the boys from Memphis State had improved their record to 6-4-1 and the future looked very bright. Tragedy struck in one brief instance and what had been the best of times became the worst of times. • Rex Dockery, offensive coordinator Chris Faros, defensive back Charles Greenhill and pilot Glenn Jones were all killed in a plane crash in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., en route to an all-star banquet. It was the darkest moment in Tiger football annals. • Rey Dempsey, a Division 1-AA National Championship coach from Southern Illinois, was hired to direct the football program at MSU. His 1984 team had a .500 record at 5-5. There were wins over Mississippi State, Cincinnati, Southwestern Louisiana and a tie with nationally-ranked Florida State, but losses began to mount at the end of the season, and when the Tigers managed just a 2-7-2 ledger in 1985, Dempsey was fired and Charlie Bailey was hired as the head coach. • A veteran of the coaching ranks at the University of Florida, Bailey’s Tigers struggled to a 1-10-0 record in 1986 with the lone victory coming at the hands of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. • The Tigers opened the 1987 campaign with a 16-10 win over Ole Miss and then stunned the college football world by upsetting 15th-ranked Alabama 13-10 in the Liberty Bowl. The season came to an end with MSU gaining victories over Louisville and Tulsa to post a 5-5-1 record.
• B ailey’s Tigers gained national headlines again in 1988 by stopping 20th-ranked Florida 17-11 in Gainesville. For Bailey, it was a crowning moment in his football coaching career to return to Florida as an underdog and gain such a victory. Tailback Xavier Crawford and defensive backs Eddie Moore and Glenn Rogers Jr., led the team to the win. However, the 1988 season’s 6-5-0 record soon paled in the light of an NCAA investigation of the Tiger football program. • When it was determined by the NCAA that one player, James Maclin, had received approximately $300 in over payment for a summer job, Bailey was forced to resign and the team received two years probation. Chuck Stobart was hired to rebuild the football program. He became the fifth coach in a 10-year span to lead the team. • Arriving just three weeks before the team reported for fall camp, Stobart was forced to keep most of the staff of his predecessor. The Tigers defeated Vanderbilt and Cincinnati, but dropped nine games in 1989 to finish the season with a 2-9-0 record.

The University of Memphis
the Liberty Bowl Alliance (East Carolina, Cincinnati, Tulane, Southern Miss and Memphis), the Tigers had an opportunity to play their way into the first bowl game since the 1971 Pasadena Bowl. Early in the season, junior flanker Ryan Roskelly had a record-setting night against Tulsa. The Placentia, Calif., native returned 10 punts for 194 yards and one touchdown and caught six passes for 174 yards and a second score. Roskelly’s 368 all-purpose yards set a Memphis record as did his punt return yardage and his number of returns. In fact, Roskelly’s 194 yards in punt returns were the most by any player in NCAA Division I football in 1994. After claiming a third straight win over the Razorbacks, the Tigers ran off victories against Tulane, Arkansas State and Cincinnati. Racing with East Carolina for a bid to the St. Jude-Liberty Bowl, the Tigers found themselves in Oxford, Miss., facing backyard rival Ole Miss. Over the 73 years that the contest had been waged, the Tigers had never defeated Ole Miss in Oxford. Trailing the Rebels 16-5 with just 8:26 remaining in the game, the Tigers mounted the greatest comeback in the school’s history. After a 43-yard punt return by Ryan Roskelly, Memphis drove the ball 31 yards with tailback Frank Fletcher going the final five yards for the score. The lead had been cut to 16-11. After holding Ole Miss and forcing a punt, the Tigers mounted their final drive of the game. Quarterback Joe Borich keyed the drive, which took 4:02, with three clutch plays. On 4th-and-15 from the 31-yard line, Borich (from a shotgun set) rolled left out of the pocket, then came back right toward the sidelines where he spotted tailback Frank Fletcher slanting downfield for an 18-yard gain. On 3rd-and-8 from the 11-yard line, Borich was flushed from the pocket, couldn’t find anyone open and decided to run the ball. He gained nine yards and a first down at the Ole Miss two-yard line. With 11 seconds left, Borich called a sprint pass and found Ryan Roskelly in the corner of the end zone for the winning score. “I never saw the completion,” Borich said after the game. After dropping the final game of the season and losing the Liberty Bowl bid to East Carolina, Chuck Stobart was relieved of his duties and a search began for a new head football coach. • In 1994, the institution became the University of Memphis, marking the fourth name change since 1912. • In January of 1995, Rip Scherer, the head football coach at James Madison University, was hired as the Tigers’ 20th head football coach. Scherer, who had also served as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech, Alabama and Arizona, took over at Memphis on January 13 and immediately began putting together his staff and trying to salvage recruiting. Scherer brought in Jim Pletcher (DC), Ted Million (OL) and David Lockwood (WR) from his staff at James Madison. He hired Keith Butler (DE), Wayne Weedon (DL), Vic Koenning (DB) and Maurice Knight (RB) from the previous Memphis staff. Scherer then selected experienced coaches Sparky Woods (New York Jets and South Carolina) and Jim Marshall (Richmond) to come in and work with the offense. • On April 24, 1995, the football program received a major boost when it was announced that Conference USA had been officially formed. The new, all-sports conference featured Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Southern Miss, Tulane and Houston as football playing members with UAB and USF as possible members in the near future. C-USA was further enhanced by gaining a five-year, $20 million television package with Liberty Sports Network which featured conference football over most of the nation. In addition, the Tigers also announced a deal that would televise all Tiger football games on SportSouth and on WLMTTV in Memphis. • The 1996 football season will long be remembered not so much for what occurred on the field but for what was accomplished in the recruiting period. The coaching staff set out on the recruiting trail and targeted most of the top players in the Memphis
area as priority recruits. In the past, many of the star players from Memphis had chosen to leave the city to play their college football for other schools. This was not the case in 1996. Several weeks before the national signing date, Westwood High School All-Americans Kenton Evans and Damien Dodson announced their intentions to stay in Memphis and help build a nationally-recognized football program at Memphis. With such a star quarterback and receiver announcing their commitments with the Tigers, others followed. All-State tailback Teofilo Riley of Memphis Central and Reid Hedgepeth, a stellar tight end from Christian Brothers, joined the growing list of high school players to commit to Scherer. From outside the Memphis area, the U of M gained commitments from Kevin Luttrell, a defensive end from Brentwood Academy in Nashville, and from Marcus Jack, a top running back from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Players from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, California and Texas joined the national recruiting effort, and when the ink had dried on the scholarships, Scherer and his staff had landed what most called the greatest recruiting class in school history. • The highlight of the 1996 season came on a sunny afternoon at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium before a record-setting crowd of 65,885. The Tigers were pitted against the No. 6 ranked Tennessee Volunteers, who held a decided 15-0 series lead. The game, which was carried by CBS TV, matched Heisman Trophy candidate Peyton Manning against the Tigers’ outstanding defense led by senior Tony Williams and Richard Hogans.Tennessee scored the afternoon’s first points on a two-yard run at the 3:06 mark of the first quarter. Tennessee held their 7-0 lead until the final seconds of the first half when Keith Spann intercepted a Manning pass and returned it 76 yards to the Vols’ 1-yard line. Memphis quarterback Qadry Anderson then sneaked in from one-yard out to knot the score at the half. UT opened the third quarter by driving 72 yards in 13 plays for the go-ahead score. But Memphis kick returner Kevin Cobb answered UT’s score with a 95-yard acrobatic return, which again tied the score at 14-14. Both teams battled around midfield until the six minute mark of the fourth quarter when Jeff Hall connected on a 28-yard field goal. With 6:01 left in the contest, Memphis took the kickoff and mounted a 70-yard, 12-play drive which culminated in an Anderson to Chris Powers touchdown pass to seal the Memphis victory 21-17. The Tiger defense held the final 34 seconds as Tiger fans poured over the walls and tore down the goalposts. • The 1998 football campaign produced a record of 2-9, but there were several bright spots encapsuled within the season. Junior tailback Gerard Arnold broke the University of Memphis single-season rushing record by gaining 1,059 yards. The 36-year-old record of 1,016 yards had been set by the late Dave Casinelli in 1962. Arnold had six 100-yard rushing games en route to breaking the record. The Lexington, Tenn., native completed the 1998 season as the nation’s 33rd-ranked running back. Arnold was named to the All-C-USA second team. Freshman kicker Ryan White, a semi-finalist for the Lou Groza Award, became the only kicker in the nation to have a perfect year. The soccer-style kicker booted 16-of-16 field goals and 22-of-22 PATs on the season. He finished the season ranked 18th in the nation in kicking. White was named the All-C-USA kicker and also was selected to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. • The 1999 season saw the fortunes of Tiger football start to climb. With new defensive coordinator John Thompson added to the staff, the defense took a new and aggressive approach to the game. After two three-point losses to Ole Miss and Mississippi State, the Tigers gained their first win of the season over Arkansas State. With renewed enthusiasm the team left for Knoxville to take on the seventh-ranked Volunteers, a 25-point favorite. But it was Memphis that took the fight to the Vols. After three Ryan White 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
field goals and an 82-yard touchdown pass from Neil Suber to Ken Coutain, the U of M found itself leading Tennessee 16-10 with less than two minutes remaining in the contest. Tennessee mounted one final drive. On what appeared to be a fourth down quarterback sack by the Tiger defense, UT quarterback Tee Martin launched a “Hail-Mary” pass that was caught deep in Memphis territory. Two plays later Tennessee scored and captured a hard-fought 17-16 win. Memphis would go on to post a 4-2 Conference USA record and finished the season tied for second in the league. Led by freshman quarterback Travis Anglin, the Tigers won three of the final four games of the season, including league wins over Army, Tulane and Cincinnati. The 5-6 mark was the best record under head coach Rip Scherer since his arrival and caused the Memphis administration to extend his contract through the 2004 season. Six new assistant coaches were added to the staff in the spring of 2000, including Tommy West, Tim Walton, Jimmy Kiser, Clay Helton, Rick Mallory and Rick Whitt.
2000s • It started with so much promise but due to a number of key injuries, the 2000 season collapsed in the later stages and forced the U of M to take drastic measures. Posting a record of 4-7, Rip Scherer was relieved of duties after six seasons as the head coach. The Tigers opened the season winning three of the first four games and four of the first six contests. Led by three quarterbacks, Memphis claimed wins over Louisiana-Monroe, Arkansas State, Army and East Carolina before the late season swoon. With injuries knocking out Anglin and Neil Suber, the Tigers were forced to turn to inexperienced backups. The team lost its final five games of the season, and on November 20, Scherer was dismissed. A search began immediately for his replacement, and it took just 10 days for the university to hire Tommy West, the Tigers’ defensive coordinator, as its 21st head coach. West coordinated the Memphis defense in 2000 and led his unit to a national ranking of fifth in total defense and first in rushing defense. • The 2001 football season was one of promise and improvement as the Tigers turned their “spread” offense into an exciting brand of football that found the youthful squad battling for a bowl bid until the final four seconds of the last game of the season. Under Tommy West’s direction, the Tigers defeated such schools as Houston, Army, USF and C-USA power Southern Miss en route to a 5-6 finish. Freshman quarterback Danny Wimprine threw for a freshman record 1,329 yards and 14 TDs and junior tailback Dante Brown rushed for 902 yards and 11 TDs. Brown set a Memphis record by scoring four rushing touchdowns in the win over Houston and his 902 yards rank as the sixth-highest total in Memphis history. • The Tiger football team fell short of their intended goals in 2002 and finished the season with a record of 3-9. However, numerous individual records fell as Wimprine rewrote the passing record book, and freshman tailback DeAngelo Williams let everyone know that he was the Tigers’ back of the future. Wimprine broke the Memphis record for touchdown passes in a single game in the season opener against Murray State when he tossed five scoring strikes. When the season ended, the New Orleans native had set records for most pass attempts in a game, most pass completions in a game, most touchdown passes in a game, pass attempts in a season, most pass completions in a season, most yards passing in a season and most touchdown passes in a season. He moved into third place on the Memphis all-time career passing list with 4,149 yards. Williams, who came to the U of M with incredible prep credentials, led the nation in average yards per carry for four weeks and was second in the nation after 11 games. He completed the season tied for fifth in the country

an 8-3 record. Memphis faced Bowling Green State in the bowl meeting and dropped to 8-4 on the year with a 52-35 loss to the Falcons. The Falcons were powered by one of the nation’s leading quarterbacks, Omar Jacobs, but the game took a bad turn when AllAmerican tailback DeAngelo Williams left the game in the third quarter with a broken leg. • The Tigers placed Williams, Gene Frederic, Wesley Smith and Stephen Gostkowski on the All-C-USA first team, and Danny Wimprine, Jeremy Rone, Tavares Gideon, Marcus West and Albert Means on the second team. Greg Hinds was named to the All-Freshman team, and Williams was named the Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. He shared the honor with Louisville quarterback Stefan LeFors. Wimprine finished out his four-year career with almost every passing record, throwing for 10,215 yards and 81 touchdowns. Williams continued to rack up honors by the end of the season and was named an All-American by the Associated Press, SI.com and Pro Football Weekly. He also was Tennessee’s Player of the Year by the TSWA and was the Male Amateur Athlete of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. In January, he settled a lot of nerves when he announced that he would “forgo his NFL career” to come back to Memphis for his senior season. Months later, Williams was named to the 2005 Playboy AllAmerica team and the University began its Heisman campaign for the record-setting back. • The 2005 season went down in history as the year the Tigers had a legitimate Heisman candidate. The Athletic Media Relations office launched a highlypublicized campaign that matched college football with another deep South favorite – NASCAR. By the end of summer, DeAngelo Williams had his own “Race for the Heisman” promotion that included 1:24 scale die-cast cars with a special paint scheme. Nearly 1,000 cars were mailed to local, regional and national media, but most notable was the fact that approximately 2,500 cars were bought by fans in just three days. A website was built, noting Williams’ accomplishments, and eventually a full-size race car was donated and appeared at all Tiger home games. The promotion served its purpose, as Williams and the Memphis Tigers gained the national spotlight. • But, the 2005 season was not marked by the accomplishments of just one player, but by a total team effort, as the Tigers overcame their share of adversity en route to a winning campaign. Prior to the start of the season, Memphis lost veteran receiver Mario Pratcher and defensive lineman Van Houston to knee injuries. In the first game of the season, starting quarterback Patrick Byrne suffered a broken leg on Memphis’ first offensive series against Ole Miss. Byrne was lost for the season, and redshirt freshman Will Hudgens had to take over under center. Hudgens started against Chattanooga and led the Tigers to victory, but late in the third game of the season against Tulsa, Hudgens suffered a broken leg that ended his season. And, not only was Byrne sidelined in game one, but so was senior defensive end Rubio Phillips, who suffered a knee injury. The Tigers then turned to true freshman Billy Barefield at quarterback. Barefield led Memphis to an upset victory over then-undefeated UTEP, but struggled to generate much-needed offense in a loss to UCF on the road. At that point head coach Tommy West made two key moves – DeAngelo Williams took the team on his shoulders and leading senior receiver Maurice Avery moved to quarterback. • The personnel changes proved to be successful as Avery led the Tigers to wins in five of the last seven games of the season, and Williams finished the season as the NCAA’s leader in rushing yards per game. Williams also became the NCAA’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards and finished his career ranked fourth all-time in NCAA history in rushing yards. While Williams scored 114 points, which was just over 30 percent of the team’s scoring in 2005, the Tigers could not have been successful without senior kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who also scored 30 percent of the points with 101. Williams was named C-USA Of2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
The University of Memphis
fensive Player of the Year for the third-straight season, and ultimately was drafted in the first round by the Carolina Panthers, while Gostkowski was selected the league’s Special Teams Player of the Year and was drafted in the fourth round by the New England Patriots. In addition to Williams and Gostkowski, five other Tigers were selected to the All-C-USA Team. Defensive end Marcus West, offensive guard Andrew Handy and safety Wesley Smith were picked to the first team, and punter Michael Gibson was named to the second team. Offensive lineman Brandon Pearce and receiver Maurice Jones landed on the C-USA All-Freshman Team. • By the end of the season, eight starters were lost for the season, but Memphis turned the negatives into positives. Because of the dedication and determination of the coaching staff and players, the Tigers received an invitation to their third-straight bowl game. The Tigers traveled to Detroit for the Motor City Bowl and defeated Akron, 38-31, on Dec. 26 in front of over 50,000 fans at Ford Field. Williams rushed for 238 yards in the game and was named the MVP, while linebacker Tim Goodwell received the UAW Lineman Award. In addition, Williams and Gostkowski were invited to the Senior Bowl; Avery played in the Hula Bowl; and Goodwell appeared in the All-American Bowl. • In 2006 the Tigers struggled as the injury bug struck again and wreaked havoc on the depth chart. In fact, during the season 25 Tigers were sidelined for at least one game and 11 of those were season-ending injuries. Of the 25 injuries, 15 were to starters or potential starters and the injuries were just about split down the middle with 11 on offense and 14 on defense. With the constant changing lineup and a defense that struggled after defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn was released prior to the Tennessee game, the Tigers ended the year with a 2-10 record and snapped the bowl streak. • The 2006 season wasn’t without its highlights, though, as true freshman receiver Duke Calhoun showed his potential as a go-to guy, leading the Tigers in receiving yards with 681 and in receiving TDs with six. He, along with kicker Matt Reagan and defensive lineman Greg Terrell, was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Rusty Clayton, Brandon McDonald, Michael Gibson, Ryan Scott, Brandon Pearce and Blake Butler were also named to the All-C-USA Team as for the first time in league history, coaches and media picked separate teams. Brandon McDonald became the third Tiger in two years to be drafted. He was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. • For the third straight season, the Tigers won their season finale as the U of M traveled to El Paso, Texas for a stunning 38-19 victory over UTEP. Memphis’ defense which showed marked improvement late in the season held UTEP to just five yards rushing. Michael Grandberry was named the Tigers’ only C-USA Player of the Week after that game in which he logged 118 yards on two kick returns. • Perhaps the most memorable play of the 2006 season was against eventual C-USA champion Houston. With just over two minutes remaining on the clock, Brandon McDonald blocked UH’s 24-yard field goal attempt and linebacker Greg Jackson picked up the ball and ran it 80 yards for a TD that tied the game at 20 and forced overtime. Memphis fell short of the victory as UH booted a field goal to win the game, 23-20. • The 2007 season started off slow as the Tigers opened with a 1-3 record. And, just as the team was feeling about as down and out as possible, an unexpected tragedy brought the group together. On Sunday, Sept. 30, defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was killed in an act of violence, and the Tigers were facing a game two days later. Following a powerful campus vigil on Monday, Oct. 1, the Tiger football team set out on the emotional task of playing a game on ESPN on Tuesday against C-USA foe Marshall. Coach Tommy West and his squad entered the field arm-in-arm in a chilling showing of togetherness. The team snapped a twogame losing streak with a win over Marshall and that game is sure to be remembered for years to come.

in yards per carry averaging an amazing 6.6 yards per attempt. Memphis placed four players on both the AllC-USA team and C-USA All-Freshman team. Center Jimond Pugh was named first team at center, while teammates Derrick Ballard, Tony Brown and Travis Anglin were selected to the second team. Williams was voted to the All-Freshman squad as was Stephen Gostkowski, John Doucette and O.C. Collins. Collins was also named to two Freshman All-America teams for 2002. Two members of the 2002 Tiger squad were drafted by NFL teams as tackle Wade Smith was taken in the third round by the Miami Dolphins and wide receiver Travis Anglin was picked in the seventh round by the Detroit Lions. • Tommy West started the 2003 season off by signing what he termed the “the most noted and highly renowned recruit” in Tiger history. He was referring to the landing of defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn. Dunn served as the defensive coordinator for Memphis from 1989 through 1991 and left to take over similar spots at Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State, where he worked for seven seasons under Jackie Sherrill. • For years and years, Tiger fans became accustomed to always saying... “wait until next year” as the college football season wound down to a close. But the 2003 season became that “next year,” as Memphis closed with a bowl victory in New Orleans. After a season-opening win over Tennessee Tech, the Tigers surprised everyone by knocking off Heisman Trophy candidate Eli Manning and his Ole Miss Rebel team 44-34 before a national television audience. As the season progressed, victories came against C-USA foes Tulane, Houston, East Carolina, Louisville and Cincinnati and when the regular season finale was played in November, the Tigers had compiled a record of 8-4 and were receiving attention from several bowl representatives. On the night of Nov. 30, Memphis received the call from the New Orleans Bowl extending an invitation to play North Texas in the fourth annual event. The game was Dec. 16 and was played in the Superdome. Without the services of tailback DeAngelo Williams and with wide receiver Maurice Avery still limping on a bad knee, the Tigers rolled into New Orleans with thousands of fans and a host of media for the school’s first bowl appearance in 32 years. Riding the arm of Wimprine, the Tigers dominated the Mean Green and came away with a 27-17 victory. It would be C-USA’s only bowl win of the 2003 season and pushed the Tigers’ all-time bowl record to 3-0. Wimprine was named the MVP of the New Orleans Bowl and weeks later, head coach Tommy West was voted the Tennessee Sports Writers Coach of the Year. Memphis’ 9-4 record marked the best finish by a Tiger team since the 1963 season. • West’s Tigers continued to make history in 2004. The squad opened the season with a 5-1 record for the first time since 1967. Included in that span were wins over Ole Miss, Chattanooga, Arkansas State, Houston and Tulane. Memphis also enjoyed its firstever national ranking by the Associated Press when the Tigers were listed at No. 25 on Sept. 12. Memphis also played four of its last five games of the season on national television. One of the most memorable games was oddly enough a loss to then C-USA foe Louisville. The game was played on Thursday night with the ESPN crew of Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Chris Fowler and Jill Arrington. A crowd of 52,384 fans watched the offensive explosion as Memphis and Louisville put up 105 points on the scoreboard. Louisville, ranked 14th nationally at the time, rolled off to the 56-49 victory. The crowd that supported the Tigers was the 11th-largest crowd in school history, but it was also the largest crowd ever to watch Memphis face a non-SEC foe. The following week on ESPN2, the Tigers became bowl eligible for the second straight season with a win over Southern Miss at home. It was the first time ever that Memphis had achieved back-to-back bowl appearances in school history. The Tigers finished out the regular season with wins over East Carolina and USF on the road and headed to the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala., with

• After a disappointing mid-season loss to Middle Tennessee, the Tigers regrouped and welcomed Martin Hankins back under center. Hankins missed the Marshall and MTSU games with a hip injury. Hankins ultimately led the Tigers to wins in five of the final six games of the season. Memphis was back in a bowl game for the fourth time in five seasons. • With its loss to Florida Atlantic in the New Orleans Bowl, the Tigers finished the season with a 7-6 record, which was good for the fourth-best turnaround nationally. In addition, the Tigers finished C-USA action with a 6-2 record which placed the U of M tied for second in the East Division with East Carolina. The six wins were the most victories for the Tigers since beginning C-USA play in 1996. • Other key wins in 2007 included a 25-9 win over UAB that marked Memphis’ first win over the Blazers since 1999; the 29-26 win over Southern Miss in Hattiesburg that marked Memphis’ second straight win over USM on the road; and the 55-52 triple overtime shootout with SMU on Memphis’ senior day that lasted four hours and 33 minutes. • Memphis closed out the 2007 season ranked in the top 25 in several national categories, including total offense (23rd), sack denial (10th), passing offense (13th), turnover margin (15th), fumbles lost (tied 3rd), turnovers lost (tied 10th) and fourth down conversions (11th). • Several Tigers received C-USA honors, including offensive lineman Andy Smith, wide receiver Duke Calhoun and linebacker Jake Kasser. Offensive lineman Dominik Riley and deep snapper Keenan Bratcher were selected to the All-C-USA Freshman Team. • In 2007, Memphis was the only non-BCS team to participate in a bowl game, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the NCAA baseball tournament all in the same calendar year. • The Tigers found themselves in uncharted territory early in the 2008 season when they opened with three straight losses for the first time ever under head coach Tommy West. And while most counted the Tigers down and out, this squad refused to sit back and accept a losing season. Memphis rolled off consecutive wins over Nicholls State, Arkansas State and UAB to even the record at 3-3 at the halfway point. • Just as things started to pick up. the East Carolina game forced the Tiger coaching staff to become creative offensively. Memphis lost the services of quarterbacks Arkelon Hall (thumb) and Will Hudgens (knee) in the first quarter on the road at ECU. Walk-on junior Brett Toney was pressed into service and the U of M fell to 3-5 with the loss to the Pirates.Toney started the Southern Miss and SMU games, which the Tigers won and again evened their record at 5-5. • Two open dates in a four-week period allowed for Hall to return to the lineup for the final two games of the season at home versus UCF and Tulane. With bowl hopes and a potential share in the C-USA East Division title on the line, costly mistakes against UCF left the Tigers with one more chance for post-season hopes on Senior Day versus Tulane. The squad came out with something to prove and earned the sixth win for bowl eligibility with a commanding 45-6 win over the Green Wave. • While the win over Tulane gave the Tigers something to celebrate, it was also a sad day for the Tiger family. Later that evening, the team learned that Murray Armstrong, who had served in many capacities with Tiger Athletics for 46 years, had lost his four-year battle with cancer. • Memphis was among 12 NCAA FBS teams that started the season with a 0-3 record in 2008. Of those 12 teams, only the Tigers and Rutgers played in bowl games. Rutgers entered the Papajohns.com Bowl with a 7-5 record, and Memphis went into the magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl with a 6-6 record. • In 2008, the Tigers were competing in the postseason for the fifth time in six years, and could count themselves among only 36 teams nationally who could make that claim of success. • Several Tigers received C-USA honors, including Brandon Pearce and Clinton McDonald who were named to the first team. Curtis Steele was selected to the second team and was also named the league’s
Newcomer of the Year. Ronald Leary was selected to the All-C-USA Freshman Team. • Senior Brandon Patterson, who earned his master’s degree in Dec. ‘08, became the only Tiger football player to be named an Academic All-American two times in his career (2007-08). • While many Tiger fans may not recall the 2-10 record many years from now, they are sure to remember the 2009 season for Coach Tommy West being dismissed with three games remaining on the schedule and the impassioned speech he gave in his press conference announcing the firing. West was let go following the 56-28 loss at his alma mater, Tennessee, with the Tigers sitting at 2-7 and no chance of a return to the postseason. West finished his 10-year career with the Tigers (nine as head coach) with a 49-61 mark, and ranks third all-time in wins at the U of M. • Duke Calhoun and Carlos Singleton finished their Memphis careers as the No. 1 and No. 2 receivers in school history, while Curtis Steele closed out his two-year career as the No. 3 running back all-time. Calhoun also ended his career with the nation’s third-longest active receiving streak through the 2009 season with 49 consecutive career games with a reception. • Several Tigers were honored in 2009, including Steele, who was named to the All-C-USA first team, and punter/ kicker Matt Reagan who was a third-team all-American as a punter by the Associated Press. Reagan is Memphis’ first AP all-American since DeAngelo Williams (2005, second-team), and was punting for the first time in his collegiate career in ‘09. Also named to the All-C-USA team were Calhoun (2nd) and Reagan (2nd), as well as Dontari Poe and Jamie McCoy, who were placed on the All-Freshman team. • On November 29, 2009, former Tiger running back (199093) Larry Porter was named as the 22nd head football coach at Memphis. He quickly began assembling his staff and hit the road recruiting for his first-ever signing class in February 2010.
2010s • Porter logged his first collegiate victory against Middle Tennessee, 24-17, at the Liberty Bowl. • The 2010 season was not without its highlights as five Tigers were named to the All-C-USA team, including linebacker Jamon Hughes, who was named to the first team. Hughes finished the season ranked third nationally in tackles. In addition, OL Dominik Riley was named to the second team, while P Tom Hornsey, CB Mohammed Seisay and OL Ricky Hart received All-Freshman honors. • Australian punter Tom Hornsey became Memphis’ first FWAA Freshman All-American as he ranked third nationally in yards punted (3,416) and fourth nationally in total punts (80). He was one of two true freshmen on the 2010 Ray Guy Watch List. • In Feb. 2011, the Tigers had their very first workout in their new 13,000-square foot strength den dedicated solely to football. That wouldn’t be the end of the committment to Tiger football, as a $10 million capital campaign was announced in June 2011, with plans to add an indoor practice facility, renovate the locker room, level the grass fields and brand the Murphy Complex. • The Tigers won just two games in 2011 with victories over Austin Peay State and C-USA foe Tulane, and Coach Larry Porter was relieved of his duties as the head coach on Nov. 27, 2011. Porter was 3-21 in two seasons with the Tigers. • Memphis placed two players on the All-C-USA Team as junior Dontari Poe and senior Ron Leary were both named to the second team. Poe announced at the end of the season that he would make himself available for the NFL Draft, and was selected in the first round as the No. 11 pick by the Kansas City Chiefs. • The Tigers did rank in the Top 20 nationally in several categories, including turnover margin (T7th), fumbles recovered (5th), passes had intercepted (T19th), turnovers lost (T20th), turnovers gained (T16th) and fewest penalties (T20th). In addition, linebacker Terrence Thomas ranked eighth in solo tackles, while Akeem Davis and Mitch Huelsing both tied for fourth nationally in fumble recoveries. • On December 8, 2011, former TCU co-offensive coordinator Justin Fuente was named to 23rd head football coach at the U of M. 2012 Memphis Football Fact Book
