T
he University of Memphis is in the midst of a $40 million capital campaign aimed at improving athletic facilities on the Park Avenue Campus. The Memphis Tiger football program stands at a transformative moment. Across the country, football is increasing the foundation for a successful university athletics program, and though the Memphis program has made great improvements, the Murphy Athletic Complex lacks the basic training facilities and infrastructure that separate the nation’s good football programs from the truly great ones. There must be a continued investment in facilities to remain competitive in football recruitment and thus the continuation of building a successful program.
T
he improvements on the Park Avenue Campus include a proposed 72,000 square-foot expansion of the Murphy Athletic Complex which would feature the following: • Indoor Practice Facility • Expanded athletic training facilities • Team training table/ dining hall • Academic center • Coaches’ offices

L i b e r t y B o w l M e m o r i a l S ta d i u m 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 49 years, have compiled a 148-140-7 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 changed to AstroTurf®, a surface used in several FBS collegiate and NFL stadiums. The field surface upgrade was part of major renovations to the stadium for 2012. The centerpiece of the 2012 renovations at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium was 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. The south end zone features a 98x48-foot, state-of-theart 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 is one of the top-10 largest video boards in the nation. In 2012, the north end zone was updated with an LED board that is 38x10 feet in size. In addition to the $850,000 FieldTurf 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. Renovations in both 2009 and 2013 have brought the stadium into compliance with ADA specifications. The two separate renovations lowered the stadium’s capacity from 62,380 to 59,308. In the spring of 2010, the Memphis City Council approved a $15.7 million capital improvements budget to upgrade 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

State (2011) “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 skysuites 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 48-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 90th 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 returns as play-by-play commentator for his 18th season. Woloshin, a well-known sports figure in Memphis, is in his 29th year of being associated with the Tigers broadcast team. He began with Tigers television broadcasts in 1986, and for the last 17 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. Jarvis Greer, a well-known local television personality and former Tiger football letterman, begins his second season as analyst for Memphis football broadcasts. A native Memphian, Greer played for the Tigers during the tenure of head coach Richard Williamson playing defensive back as well as seeing action on special teams from 1977-78. The Christian Brothers High School graduate came to the Tigers in the spring of 1977 and by the start of the fall season had earned a scholarship and a spot at safety in the defensive secondary. The two-year letterwinner received his degree from then Memphis State University in Communications/Fine Arts and immediately began his 30-plus year career with WMCTV. Greer has served the local NBC affiliate as a reporter, photographer, editor, assignment editor and anchor. During his television career, he has received a Regional Emmy and is a three-time Best of Memphis Award winner for his “Friday Football Fever Show” covering prep football in the Mid-South. Greer was the 2012 recipient of the Billy J. Murphy Award. The honor is presented each year to a former University of Memphis student-athlete who has excelled in his chosen profession after graduation. Greer and his wife Emily, have two children, daughter McKenzie, a graduate of Memphis and a son, J.J., who lettered four years on the Memphis Tiger soccer team (2009-13). Native Memphian Forrest Goodman is entering his 16th season as the pregame/postgame host for the Memphis football and basketball broadcasts. Goodman 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 a 10th-straight season. Dillon, who is in his 41st 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 12 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 playby-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 11 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.
The Justin Fuente Television Show can be seen on Fox 13 TV in Memphis each Sunday night during the season at 10 p.m. Coach Fuente will discuss the game in-depth each week, while breaking down highlights from each contest. The show also contains feature segments about various Tigers players throughout the season.

The American Athletic Conference’s new contract with ESPN, which begins with the upcoming football season, will provide unprecedented exposure for its member institutions. The multiyear, wide-ranging television contract with ESPN to telecast its football, basketball and Olympic sports runs through the 201920 academic year. The contract includes comprehensive national exposure via the acknowledged leader in college sports television, the ESPN networks. “The extraordinary exposure provided by the ESPN networks will give viewers the opportunity to see the exciting competition and intense rivalries that will characterize our conference,” Aresco said when the contract was originally announced. With the 2014-15 academic year, football, basketball and Olympic sports are under one agreement. The conference has retained marketing rights, providing lucrative sponsorship opportunities. In football, the new contract provides unprecedented national coverage for the league. In essence, the extensive national television coverage replaces previous syndication and local telecasts. All conference controlled games, which are conference games and non-conference home games, will be televised. Nearly 90 percent of the games will be carried on national broadcast or national cable. The conference championship game, which will be played for the first time in 2015, will be carried by ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday. In men’s basketball, all conference controlled games will be televised. More than 63 percent of the games will be carried on national broadcast or national cable, which will be a minimum of 107 games. The entire conference postseason basketball tournament will be on national television. The championship game will be televised on ABC or ESPN. In women’s basketball, there is tremendous national and regional coverage. Nearly 60 games are slated to be televised on national cable, regional sports networks and ESPN3, including the entire women’s basketball postseason tournament. Eighteen regular-season games will be televised nationally. The women’s basketball tournament championship game will be on ESPN or ESPN2. The semifinals also will be on national cable.

Memphis closed out the 2013-14 academic year by having ten student-athletes recognized at the spring honors ceremony. Prior to taking his current post, Bowen served as the athletics director at San Jose State University from 2004-12. While at San Jose State, the core of Bowen’s mission was building a “Culture of Champions” academically, athletically and in the community. He led the Spartan Foundation, the department’s fundraising component, through consistently challenging and uncertain economic conditions to unprecedented fiscal heights. The Spartans produced annual budget surpluses four-straight years and re-invested their gains back into their student-athletes and teams. Bowen’s proven administrative and managerial record at San Jose State resulted in 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. 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. The 1983 graduate of the University of Notre Dame majored in theology/sociology and spent time 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. 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.

two years. The 2012-13 season saw the Tigers post the sixth, 30-win season in school history as well as sweep the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. The 2013-14 squad finished in a threeway tie for third place in the ultra-competitive new American Athletic Conference including two wins over defending national champion Louisville. The 2013-14 season also saw the basketball program rank in the top-10 in home attendance in NCAA Division I basketball for the fifth time in the last seven years. Under Bowen’s administration, the groundwork for the future of the Tiger football program has been laid and it is well apparent the program is heading in the right direction with major strides made over the last two seasons. Other athletic programs have enjoyed unprecedented success during Bowen’s tenure heading the department. The rifle team posted a third-place finish in small bore at the NCAA National Championship in 2014, the best finish in program history. In 2014, men’s tennis advanced to the NCAA Championships for a third-consecutive year. In 2013, the Tigers won their first NCAA Regional with an upset over Ole Miss and advanced to the program’s first NCAA Championships Sweet Sixteen. The women’s tennis team also made history with its first NCAA Championships appearance as a team in 2013. The men’s golf squad earned an NCAA Regional berth for a fourth-straight year in 2014. During Bowen’s two-year tenure, the Memphis track and field squads have sent 14 student-athletes to the NCAA Outdoor Championships, with eight earning All-America honors. In the classroom, Memphis continued its strong performance in Bowen’s first two years. For 2014, all 19 Memphis athletics programs had APRs of 940 or higher, and the Tigers’ department-wide, four-year average (2009-10 through 2012-13) was 979. Four programs again earned NCAA Public Recognition for APR – baseball, men’s basketball, women’s golf and women’s tennis. Of the school’s 375 student-athletes, 56 percent earned a grade point average of 3.0 or higher for the 2014 spring semester, including 31 percent that earned a 3.5 or higher GPA and institutional Dean’s List honors. Memphis’ cumulative student-athlete GPA was 3.06 and the school’s freshman student-athlete GPA was 3.04.

Tom Bowen took over as the University of Memphis Director of Athletics in June of 2012, and in his short time leading the department, has the Tigers roaring into a new and exciting era. Bowen began his tenure with an athletics program poised to make a league move from Conference USA to the Big East. Despite the conference realignment carousel continuing to rotate nearly halfway into his first year, Bowen’s steady leadership helped Memphis become a charter member of The American Athletic Conference, which began its inaugural year July 1, 2013. The Memphis athletics leader played an integral role in the formation of The American Athletic Conference and was instrumental in bringing the league’s first men’s basketball tournament to the Bluff City in March of 2014. In addition to guiding Memphis through the conference move, Bowen placed his stamp on Tigers athletics. One of his first missions was to evaluate and restructure the athletics department. Bowen developed a strategic plan to increase the athletic department’s fundraising efforts. Under his direction, the Elma Roane Fieldhouse -- home to Memphis women’s basketball and volleyball -- improvements were completed with a state-of-the-art weight room, a four-lane training track, an elevated cardio platform, a players’ lounge and an enlarged training room with Grimm Tubs-hydroponic pools for injury rehabilitation. In November of 2012, Bowen secured a multi-million dollar gift from the Helen and Jabie Hardin Charitable Trust to support women’s athletics. The first phase of the generous gift was the design and construction of a new track and field complex on the University’s Park Avenue campus. As part of the Hardin Charitable Trust gift, the second phase includes a clubhouse for the Tigers’ softball program. The new softball clubhouse plans include coaches’ offices, meeting and recruiting rooms, indoor pitching and batting areas, an athletic training room, equipment room and laundry room. In December of 2013, Interim President Brad Martin and Tom Bowen announced that alumni Bill and Nancy Laurie had made a gift of $10 million to the capital campaign for athletic facilities. This is the single largest philanthropic gift in the history of the athletic department, and the second-largest gift in the history of the University of Memphis. By securing the $10 million lead gift, the athletic department leadership reached a significant benchmark in a capital campaign goal of $40 million, less than 120 days after the plan was unveiled by President Martin. The capital campaign calls for a new men’s basketball practice and training facility and an indoor football practice complex. It will additionally fund comprehensive upgrades and renovations to existing facilities including FedExPark and the Hardin Family Sports Complex. Bowen’s respect from his colleagues along with his experience and knowledge of football were pivotal in landing him a position on the College Football Playoff organization’s Athletic Directors Advisory Council in early 2014. Previously he served on the Athletic Directors Advisory Board of the BCS in 2013. In July, 2014, Bowen’s colleagues in the American Athletic Conference voted him to represent the league on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council. In the competition arena, Bowen’s first two years have been rather successful. The Memphis men’s basketball team advanced to the NCAA Tournament third round each of the last

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 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.

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 small-town 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.

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 over 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 a sheriff patrol 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 T. he University of Memphis’ official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. T. he 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 T. he University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. T. he 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.

History
The American will add an eighth on-field official, who will be positioned behind the quarterback, for all of its conference games in 2014 for a one-season trial. The eighth official will also be used in all of Navy’s games in which game officials are assigned by The American. The conference’s head football coaches recommended implementation primarily to enhance student-athlete safety.
Records
For the 2014 season, the American Athletic Conference Football Champion will be the team that finishes the regular season with the highest winning percentage in conference games. If more than one team has the same winning percentage, the tied teams are declared co-champions. To determine the College Football Playoff/Host Bowl representative, the co-champion ranked highest by the College Football Playoff Committee will be eligible to receive the automatic bid shared with Conference USA, the Mid-American, Mountain West, and Sun Belt conferences.
2013 Review
American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco announced in May, 2014 that two divisions of six teams each will begin play in the 2015 football season, culminating in the first American Athletic Conference Championship Game. The East-West format was approved unanimously by the conference’s chief executive officers at the league’s annual meetings in 2014. “This is an exciting step in the continued development of our conference,” said Aresco. “With our performance on the field and the exposure we received from our media partners, I couldn’t be more satisfied with our first year of American Athletic Conference football. Creating this divisional format will allow us to build upon that success. Our fans will enjoy our divisional play and the championship game that will be established in 2015. “The East-West format we have adopted gives each division a distinct identity, provides long-term competitive balance and protects traditional rivalries while allowing each school to travel across the conference’s geographical footprint on a regular basis

DIVISION ALIGNMENT FOR 2015
Starting in 2015, the East Division will include UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, East Carolina, USF and Temple. The West Division will consist of Houston, Memphis, Navy, SMU, Tulane and Tulsa. Each team will play a total of eight conference games, facing the other five teams in its own division as well as three from the other division, ensuring that each school will play every conference opponent at home and on the road at least once in a four-year cycle. The division winners will play for the conference title at the home site of the highest ranked divisional champion. The two-division format will come on the heels of a remarkable debut for The American in 2013 and what promises to be an equally successful 2014 campaign. The American was one of three FBS conferences – along with the Big Ten and the SEC – that had two 12-win teams in 2013, including UCF, which went 12-1 and defeated Big 12 champion Baylor in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The American has the most challenging nonconference schedule of any league in 2014, including scheduled games against 10 teams that were ranked in the top 25 of last year’s final USA Today Coaches’ Poll (South Carolina, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Baylor, UCLA, Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Duke, Vanderbilt) and additional games against BYU (three), Georgia Tech, Miami and Penn State. In addition to the divisional alignment announcement, Aresco confirmed two other football-related procedural items, which were approved by the conference’s athletic directors, to be implemented for the 2014-15 season:

be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the MidAmerican Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. Additionally, The American has announced primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the next six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans. The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green International Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools. The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video production studio, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and smalland large-scale meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.
Media
Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence. With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2014-15 consists of 11 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the University of South Florida Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa. The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only. Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, has immediately taken a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in four Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won nine NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995. Two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll. Five were selected for bowl games, including UCF, which won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 10 nationally. The conference produced 14 players who received All-America recognition by a major outlet. The American had four players chosen in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, trailing only the SEC and the ACC among FBS conferences. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles highlighted a group of 12 American Athletic Conference players chosen when he was taken No. 3 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The success of The American in Year 1 was not limited to the gridiron. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball. The conference had the best postseason winning percentage of any league in men’s basketball, while The American produced top-10 teams in baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf and sent half of its participating teams to the NCAA Softball Championship. The American Athletic Conference holds television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday. In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be either on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3. American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representative would

Head Coach
Justin Fuente While laying the groundwork for the University of Memphis football program during his first two seasons as head coach, Justin Fuente has overseen the Tigers’ step up in competition including the move to the American Athletic Conference in Year Two. Fuente knew the challenges the program would face as the team headed into The American. In his second season as head coach, the Tigers may have finished in the bottom half of the league standings in the new conference but it has been well apparent the program is heading in the right direction. In 2013, Memphis faced the third-toughest schedule among American Athletic Conference programs, playing seven opponents who advanced to bowl games. Games lost to bowl-bound opponents were decided by just eight points per game. Memphis Football continued to make major strides in Year Two under Fuente. Defensively, the Tigers were ranked No. 39 in total defense (370.7 ypg allowed) and No. 12 against the run (116.3 ypg allowed). Offensively, Memphis freshman quarterback Paxton Lynch passed for over 2,000 yards, becoming just the second rookie in program history to do so. It was just the 10th time overall a quarterback has passed for over 2,000 yards in a season. Memphis’ special teams featured the Ray Guy Award winner, annually presented to collegiate football’s top punter, and a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, which is presented to the nation’s top place kicker, as well as one of the nation’s top kick returner.

Memphis had three players named to the All-American Athletic Conference Team – place kicker Jake Elliott, punter Tom Hornsey and defensive end Martin Ifedi. In Fuente’s first season in 2012, the Tigers posted their best finish since 2008 and won more conference games than the previous three seasons combined but Memphis’ then new head coach began building a foundation months prior to his rookie season. One of the first items Fuente put in place upon being named the head football coach at the University of Memphis was “The Tiger Code.” The code consists of three elements – 1) Fundamentally Sound, 2) Physically Fit and 3) Mentally Tough. In addition to “The Tiger Code,” the University of Memphis football program under Fuente is being built on four pillars – 1) Academic Integrity, 2) Social Responsibility, 3) Individual Accountability and 4) Competitive Excellence. In addition to instilling the Tiger Code and installing a new off-season conditioning program, Fuente selected 10 student-athletes to form his first leadership council. The group best exemplified being student-athletes and living by the Tiger Code. During Fuente’s first season, the group of leaders served as a conduit between the coaching staff and the team. While breeding a new culture within the program, Fuente shared his vision for Memphis Football as a speaker for a variety of civic groups while also making the rounds on television morning shows and the area’s talk radio circuit. He and his staff conducted the school’s first Women’s Clinic in an effort to educate female fans as well as further build the program’s fan base. Memphis posted a 4-8 overall record and was 4-4 in league play in its final season as a member of Conference USA in 2012. The Tigers’ efforts did not go unrecognized. Athlon Sports’ College Football Preview Magazine had Fuente No. 5 in the publication’s ranking of new coaches from 2012, and in 2013 Athlon ranked him No. 6 among coaches under 40. The Tigers averaged 318.33 yards of total offense during the 2012 season. The season total represented a 44-yard improvement from the 2011 season. Memphis came close to doubling its rushing average, improving its rushing total to 151.75 yards per game in 2012. Memphis’ fourth-down efficiency percentage ranked among the Top 10 in FBS Football. Defensively, Memphis led Conference USA in total defense in league games played in 2012, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. UM lowered its total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent. For the year, Memphis ranked 48th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). The Tigers made a 69-position improvement from the 2011 season. The UM defense ranked 36th nationally in quarterback

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 three daughters, Cecilia, Caroline and Charlotte.

A native of Tulsa, Okla., the dynamic play-caller 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 Mountain 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, single-game 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 back-by-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

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 2001-05. 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. The offensive-minded Dickey went to North Texas after serving as offensive coordinator at SMU in 1997. That season, the Mustangs posted their first winning record since the program returned to the playing field in 1989 following the NCAA “Death Penalty.” He went to SMU after serving as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at UTEP from 1994-96. Dickey also was a tight ends coach at LSU from 1991-93, during which time the Tigers upset No. 1-ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa in 1993. He went to LSU after serving as quarterbacks and running backs coach at Mississippi State in 1990. That season, the Bulldogs beat LSU for the first time in six seasons when running back Tay Galloway ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Dickey was the offensive coordinator at Memphis from 1987-89, after serving one season as Tigers running backs coach in 1986. While at Memphis, the Tigers upset SEC powers Alabama (1987) and Florida (1988). He also served as a graduate assistant at Texas A&M in 1985 when the Aggies won the Southwest Conference title and played in the Cotton Bowl. Dickey is the son of Jim Dickey, who was head football coach at Kansas State from 1978-85. He played quarterback for his father and led the Wild-

Barry Odom is in his third season as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator. He also coaches the team’s safeties. In Odom’s first season as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator, Memphis led the league in total defense in conference games played in 2012, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. Memphis lowered its total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent. The improvement continued in Year Two as the Tigers ranked No. 39 in total defense (370.7 ypg allowed) and No. 12 against the run (116.3 ypg allowed). In 2012, Memphis ranked 50th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). The Tigers made a 67-position improvement from the 2011 season when they ranked 117th with a 491.00 total defense average. Memphis’ 138-yard rushing defense total for the year ranked 32nd nationally. Memphis ranked last nationally in pass defense for the 2011 season but in Odom’s first season the Tigers made a 42-spot improvement, allowing 245.58 yards passing in 2012. Memphis also ranked 38th in quarterback sacks (29 total), more than doubling the number of sacks it had the previous season (14). The improvement continued in Year Two as the Tigers ranked No. 39 in total defense (370.7 ypg allowed) and No. 12 against the run (116.3 ypg allowed) at the conclusion of the 2013 season. Memphis held four opponents under 100 yards rushing during the season and only three opponents had better than 140 rushing yards against the Tigers. Memphis had only one player rush for more than 100 yards in a game. The Tigers’ defense also ranked 39th in both quarterback sacks (2.33 per game) and first downs allowed (250). Memphis defenders registered 28 quarterback sacks and 78 tackles for loss during the year. Odom joined the Memphis coaching staff after spending nine years on the staff at his alma mater, Missouri (2003-11). A valuable part of Missouri’s operations staff starting in 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 Mis-

souri 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.

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 (19972000), 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, are parents of a daughter, Ryan, born in May of 2010, and a son, Reid, born in November of 2013.

In 2012, Scott’s first season with Fuente at Memphis, the Tigers posted a 4-8 overall record, the team’s best finish since 2008. The Tigers were 4-4 in Conference. Memphis led the league in total defense in conference games played in 2012, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. The Tigers lowered their total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent. For the year, Memphis ranked 50th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). Memphis’ 138yard rushing defense total for the year ranked 32nd nationally. Scott’s linebacker corps accounted for 6.5 of the team’s 29 quarterback sacks. The Tigers more than doubled their quarterback sack numbers from the previous season. Linebackers also accounted for 19.5 tackles for lost yardage and intercepted a pair of passes. In 2012, Harris and Brown ranked first and second on the squad in total tackles (79 and 71 stops respectively). Jakes, then a first-year player, was named the John Bramlett Defensive Player of the Year following the 2012 season. Scott joined the Memphis staff ahead of the 2010 season and was elevated to co-defensive coordinator in September of 2011 while continuing 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 second-most 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 AllC-USA second team, and Kenny Sims was an All-CUSA 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.

Brad Cornelsen M i s s o u r i S o u t h e r n S tat e , 2000 Third Season
Brad Cornelsen is in his third season coaching the Tigers’ quarterbacks. During the 2013 season, Cornelsen mentored redshirt freshman quarterback Paxton Lynch who passed for over 2,000 yards, becoming just the second rookie in program history to do so. Lynch completed 203-of-349 passes for 2,056 yards and nine touchdowns. In addition to Lynch posting only the school’s 10th, 2000-yard passing season, he also ranked in the Top 10 in season totals for pass attempts (7th), pass completions (6th) and highest completion percentage (58.2 percent / 8th). In 2012 Cornelsen mentored Jacob Karam who set a Memphis season record with a 64.2 pass completion percentage. The Tigers’ three pass interceptions thrown in 2012 were the fewest in recorded history, breaking the old mark of six set in 2001. In Conference USA games, Memphis raised its total offense from 243 yards per game the previous season to 327yards an outing (a 26 percent increase). Overall, the Tigers’ 318 total offensive yard average represented a 44-yard improvement from 2011. Memphis’ 71.43 fourth-down percentage ranked tied for seventh nationally. Only five teams converted on fourth down more times than the Tigers. In Cornelsen’s first season on the Memphis staff, the Tigers posted a 4-4 mark in Conference USA play, winning more league games in 2012 than the previous combined three seasons. Memphis’ 4-8 overall record marked the team’s best finish since 2008.

In two seasons at Memphis, Tiger quarterbacks have combined to complete over 60 percent of their passes. Cornelsen joined the Tigers from Northeastern State (NSU), a Division II program located in Tahlequah, Okla., where he served 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. He also set the all-time single season receiving yards total at NSU. 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. 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 Holmon 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. 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. In 2004, Cornelsen had three receivers post 30 or more catches each, the most by a Redbirds trio since 1996. The previous season (2003), Cornelsen was instrumental in the success of All-Gateway Conference first team receiver Dwayne Smith, who led the league in receptions and receiving yards per game. That 2003 campaign also saw the Redbirds offense rank first in the conference in total offense with 420 yards per outing. In 2007, Cornelsen moved to coaching quarterbacks and helped senior Luke Drone to an All-Gateway Conference season with 2,222 yards and 18 touchdowns. Cornelsen graduated from Missouri Southern State with a Bachelor of Physical Education degree in 2000. With the Lions, Cornelsen became the first quarterback in the history of NCAA Division II football to pass for 4,000 yards and rush for 2,000 yards in a career. Cornelsen will be enshrined in his alma mater’s Athletics Hall of Fame the weekend of September 26-27. After graduation, Cornelsen served one-year student assistant stints with his alma mater and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. He worked as a grad-

His 16 field goals tied a freshman record and also tied for the fifth-most in a season at Memphis. Memphis was the only collegiate program to have a semifinalist for both marquee special teams awards. In addition to his work coordinating special teams, Shibest’s tight ends combined to catch 23 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns. The Tigers’ special teams led Conference USA and ranked nationally in several team statistical categories in the program’s final year in the league in 2012. Additionally, the Tigers had several standout individual performances on special teams. For the season, Memphis led Conference USA in kickoff coverage with a net average of 42.6 yards.

Handling kickoff return responsibilities, Bobby McCain set a single-game record with the highest kickoff return average in a game and averaged 25.8 yards per return to rank 24th nationally. Shibest’s first-year tight ends also made an impact. Freshman Alan Cross was the team’s leader in scoring receptions and finished the season with 23 catches for 301 yards and five scores. He was named to the All-Conference USA Freshman Team. Junior college transfer Jesse Milleson caught 10 passes for 98 yards and three touchdowns. In Shibest’s first season at the University of Memphis, the Tigers posted a 4-4 mark in Conference USA play, winning more league games in 2012 than the previous three seasons combined. Memphis’ 4-8 overall record marked the team’s best finish since 2008. Prior to joining the Memphis staff, Shibest spent the previous four seasons 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.

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.

In his third season coaching the Tigers’ offensive linemen is Vance Vice. Last year, the Tigers averaged 313 yards of offense as the Tigers made the move to the American Athletic Conference. Vice’s linemen blocked for a running back who rushed for more yardage than any other back since the 2009 season and a quarterback who became just the second rookie to throw for more than 2,000 yards. Brandon Hayes, who received a sixth year of eligibility and returns for the 2014 season, rushed for 860 yards to lead the Tigers in 2013. Redshirt freshman quarterback Paxton Lynch passed for 2,056 yards. The passing total marked just the 10th time in school history a Memphis quarterback had passed for better than 2,000 yards. Ahead of the 2014 season, Memphis returns eight offensive linemen with experience including three starters off the 2013 squad. In Vice’s initial season coaching the offensive line in 2012, Memphis raised its offensive yardage total in conference games 26 percent over the previous season. The Tigers averaged 327.1 yards per league game. Memphis raised its rushing offense total by 63 percent in C-USA games. Overall, the Tigers averaged 318.33 yards of total offense during Vice’s first year. The season total represented a 44-yard improvement from the 2011 season. Memphis ranked next to last nationally in rushing offense in 2011 but almost doubled its rushing average this season, improving its ground-game total to 151.75 yards per game in 2012. Memphis’ 71.43 fourth-down efficiency percentage ranked tied for seventh nationally. Only five teams converted on fourth down more times than the Tigers. Vice mentored offensive tackle Jordan Devey who received the DeAngelo Williams Most Valuable Player Award at season’s end. Devey, who played every snap of his two-year career, went on to play in the East-West Shrine Game. Devey was an All-Conference USA Second Team selection while Taylor Fallin was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team in 2012. Memphis’ 4-8 overall record marked the program’s best finish since 2008. The Tigers won more league games in 2012 than the previous three seasons combined, posting a 4-4 record in the program’s final season in Conference USA. Vice and head coach Justin Fuente have a long history together. Vice coached the offensive line at Murray State in 1999 when Fuente was a senior quarterback for the Racers, and the two also worked together on the offensive staff at Illinois State from 2001-04. Prior to joining the Memphis coaching staff, Vice spent the previous three seasons as the offensive line coach at Louisiana-Monroe (2009-11). Under Vice’s guidance, the Warhawks offensive line experienced unprecedented success since moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 1994. In two of the three seasons at Louisiana-Monroe, Vice’s offensive lines paved the way for over 20 rushing touchdowns and nearly 4,700 yards of total offense. The 392.3 total yards per game recorded
in 2009 was the program’s highest offensive output since joining the FBS. 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 Louisiana-Monroe history. Two of Vice’s linemen were named All-Louisiana 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). Vice’s 2010 offensive line led the way for quarterback Kolton Browning to total 2,937 yards (2,552 passing/385 rushing), the third-highest yardage total by a freshman in the NCAA that season. The 2,937 total yards also were the second-most for a season in Louisiana-Monroe history. Vice, a 20-plus year coaching veteran, joined the Louisiana-Monroe staff after four seasons at Utah State (2005-08) in a similar role. He guided a pair of Utah State players that moved on to NFL careers. Guard Shawn Murphy was a 2008 NFL Draft fourthround pick by the Miami Dolphins, and Donald Penn was a 2005 free agent signee by the Minnesota Vikings and currently plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During Vice’s four seasons with the Aggies, four offensive linemen earned All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) honors, and Ryan Tonnemacher was a two-time Rimington Trophy Watch List nominee, awarded annually to the nation’s top center. Under Vice’s guidance, Murphy was invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game. He was the first Utah State player selected to the Shrine Game since 2002 and the first Aggies offensive lineman chosen to the all-star game since center Tim Ruiz in 1986. Prior to Utah State, Vice spent five seasons coaching the offensive line at Illinois State (2000-04). He was promoted to assistant head coach his final two seasons with the Redbirds. At Illinois State, three linemen earned All-America honors and eight garnered All-Gateway Conference accolades. In 2003, the Redbirds established a school record with 248.1 yards per game rushing and allowed just five sacks on 367 pass attempts. Vice started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Georgia from 1990-91, before working at Hart County (Ga.) High School from 1992-95. He returned to the collegiate level from 1996-98, coaching tight ends at Clemson. Vice then spent one year (1999) at Murray State as the offensive line coach, where his line protected Racers quarterback Justin Fuente.

The Tigers won more conference games in 2012 than the previous three seasons combined, posting a 4-4 record in the program’s final season in Conference USA. Wiggins joined the Memphis coaching staff from the University of Tulsa where he spent the 2011 season coach the team’s running backs. He helped the Golden Hurricane to an 8-4 overall record and a 7-1 Conference USA mark. Wiggins guided a trio of Tulsa running backs – Ja’Terian Douglas, Trey Watts and Alex Singleton – that combined for 2,006 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. Douglas was an All-C-USA second team selection, while Watts earned league honorable mention merits. In addition, H-back Willie Carter, who led Tulsa with 868 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, was an All-C-USA second team honoree. Fuente and Wiggins worked together during part of Wiggins’ five-year stint (2006-10) at Illinois State. Wiggins, who coached running backs, helped guide the Redbirds to a 9-4 record in his first year at the school, including a Football Championship Series (FCS) quarterfinal appearance and a No. 8 national ranking. Illinois State averaged 169 yards per game rushing in 2006, and Pierre Rembert rushed for a school-record 1,743 yards, receiving Associated Press (AP) All-America accolades. In his next season, Wiggins coached the Redbirds ground attack to average 199 yards per game, and had two running backs that combined for 1,742 of the team’s 2,194 rushing yards.

The 2008 season saw Illinois State total 197 yards per game rushing, with three running backs totaling 1,911 of the squad’s 2,169 yards. After averaging just 98 rushing yards in 2009, Illinois State jumped to over 130 yards per game in 2010. Before joining the staff at Illinois State, Wiggins was a student assistant for two seasons and a graduate assistant for one year at his alma mater, New Mexico. He worked primarily with the running backs in his student assistant role, before focusing on quarterbacks and wide receivers during his one year as a graduate assistant. Wiggins was a four-year letterwinner and threeyear starter at running back for the Lobos (19982001). He finished his collegiate career with 1,833 rushing yards, the 14th-most in school history. He remains the Lobos’ single-season leader in punt returns (46) and punt return yardage (392) -- both set in 2000 -- and ranks 12th all-time in all-purpose yards with 2,912 yards.

Liberty bowl Memorial Stadium September 7, 2013
Jai Steib rushed for an 11-yard touchdown with 11:38 remaining to tie the game at 14-14, but Duke scored 14 unanswered points to defeat Memphis 2814 in the Tigers’ season opener. The game was played in front of a crowd of 44,237 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. One of three Duke turnovers in the game resulted directly into a Memphis touchdown but the Tigers did not take advantage of two Blue Devil fumbles which gave the Blue & Gray the ball twice near midfield. Leonard Pegues would rip the ball out of the hands of Duke punt returner Jamison Crowder and Dion Witty would recover at the Duke 49 in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Ryan Coleman forced Braxton Deaver to fumble after a reception and Bobby McCain would recover for the Tigers at the Duke 45. Memphis’ offense would go three-and-out on the ensuing series. While Duke was 10-for-18 on third-down plays (55.5 percent), Memphis managed to convert 2-of13 third-down plays. On Duke’s next offensive series, which started at the Blue Devil 13, Deaver would get redemption for his earlier fumble, hauling in a 36-yard catch from backup quarterback Brandon Connette on the first play of the drive. The catch would spark an 87-yard touchdown drive. Connette entered the game late in the first half after starter Anthony Boone sustained an injury.
Connette would convert two, third-and-short plays with a pair of runs and accounted for 30 rushing yards on the series before Juwan Thompson scored from eight yards out. The score gave the Blue Devils a 14-7 lead. Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch would help set up a game-tying touchdown when he hooked up with Tevin Jones for a 45-yard pass early in the fourth quarter. After a 14-yard run by Sam Craft, Jai Steib scored from 11 yards out to make the score 14-14 with 11:38 to play. Duke would answer the Tigers’ score with a two-minute drive which covered 75 yards culminating with a 22-yard Connette to Isaac Blakeney touchdown pass. Connette converted a third-and-one early in the series and also tossed a 31-yard pass to Jamison Crowder to set up the score. Following another Memphis three-and-out, the Blue Devils distanced themselves with another two-minute drive which started with a Connette to Crowder pass, this time for 43 yards. A 12-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Braxton culminated the series with 6:56 to play. Duke scored on its opening possession and the Tigers answered in the second quarter as the two teams headed to the locker room at halftime tied, 7-7. The Blue Devils opened the game with two,
third-and-short conversions to finish off a six-play, 58-yard touchdown drive on their first possession. Boone scampered for 23 yards on third-and-four to give the Blue Devils the 7-0 advantage. It was the Tiger defense that got the team’s first score of the season, as McCain started the second quarter with a bang by stepping in front of a pass by Boone and returning it 75 yards for the score. The interception return for a touchdown was the second of McCain’s career, the first a 79-yard return against Tulane in 2011. Duke recorded 45 rushes for 173 yards while gaining 297 yards through the air for 470 total yards. Memphis had 89 yards on the ground while Lynch was 14-of-24 for 148 yards in his debut as the team’s starting quarterback as the Tigers had 237 yards of offense. Anthony Brown led the Tigers defensively with 11 tackles, four unassisted and seven assisted. Brown had one sack while Martin Ifedi had six total tackles to go with two sacks. Hornsey punted seven times in the game and averaged 45.6 yards per punt and placed four of the seven inside the 20 yard line.

Middle Tennessee’s second touchdown came after Lynch was intercepted by T.T. Barber at the Memphis 32. A personal foul call on the return gave the Blue Raiders the ball at the eight and the series was aided by a pass interference call before Jordan Parker scored from one yard out on third down. Before halftime, Memphis moved the ball from the Middle Tennessee 45 with its final series beginning with 1:12 to play in the half. An 11-yard, third-down run by Hayes on the third play of the series would extend the drive. A 12-yard pass from Lynch to Craft would put the ball at the Middle Tennessee 24 and give Elliott a 41-yard field goal attempt which was true as the horn sounded to end the first half. The American Athletic Conference officiating crew working the game flagged the Tigers for 15 penalties and 145 yards. It was the second most penalties and penalty yards in school history. Middle Tennessee was flagged three times for 30 yards. Memphis had 350 total yards of offense – 180 rushing and 170 passing – compared to the Blue Raiders’ 284.
Media
After Memphis grabbed its only lead of the game early in the fourth quarter, Middle Tennessee was able to engineer a late drive that resulted in a 40yard field goal en route to a 17-15 victory. Memphis’ lone lead was enjoyed when Paxton Lynch completed a one-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone to tight end Alan Cross to culminate a seven-play, 64-yard drive that gave the Tigers a 15-14 lead with 13:38 to play. The go-ahead drive began with a nine-yard run by Brandon Hayes. Lynch would convert an early, third-and-three play with a six-yard pass completion to Sam Craft. Lynch also completed a 17-yard pass to Tevin Jones and four yards to Jesse Milleson. Hayes would run for 13 yards and Marquis Warford’s 17-yard run moved the ball to the five for the start of the fourth quarter. Three plays later Cross hauled in the touchdown reception. Each team would punt on their next two possessions. Middle Tennessee would start its game-winning drive from their own 35 following a 42-yard Tom Hornsey punt. The drive would start with Martin Ifedi sacking MT quarterback Logan Kilgore for a four-yard loss and Bobby McCain broke up a Kilgore pass to bring up third-and-14. But on third down Kilgore complet-
ed an 18-yard pass to Marcus Henry to give the Blue Raiders the ball near midfield. On the next play, Kilgore completed a 25-yard pass to Taverres Jefferson. Middle Tennessee would get just three more yards of offense before place-kicker Cody Clark came on to boot a 40-yard field goal with 1:49 to play and put the Blue Raiders up 17-15. In the final minutes, the Tigers would move the ball from their own 25 to the Middle Tennessee 36 before Lynch was sacked on back-to-back downs to end the game. In the first half, Middle Tennessee would build a 14-6 lead. On the Blue Raiders’ second offensive series, two 15-yard penalties by the Tigers helped Middle Tennessee reach the Memphis 35yard line before Kilgore converted a third-and-nine pass to Christian Collis to the Memphis 22. Middle Tennessee used its running game on the next three plays to get inside the Memphis 10 before a seven-yard pass from Kilgore to Kyle Griswold put the Blue Raiders up 7-0 with 3:00 to play in the first quarter. A 21-yard Jake Elliott field goal with 11:09 to play in the first half got the Tigers on the score board.

Marquis Warford rushed for 173 yards on 11 carries while Brandon Hayes ran for 114 yards on 18 carries to help lead Memphis past Arkansas State 31-7. The Tigers finished with 505 yards of total offense, its first outing with 500 or more yards of offense since facing Southern Miss in 2008. Memphis rushed for a total of 329 yards in the game, the most since having 379 yards on the ground against Tulane in 2008. Memphis’ defense did a number on Arkansas State, tying a school record with seven sacks. The U of M held ASU to 255 total yards of offense while holding its second-straight opponent under 100 yards rushing. The Tigers limited the Red Wolves to seven points, the fewest for Arkansas State since September of the 2011 season. The Tigers got off to a quick start as quarterback Paxton Lynch completed a 24-yard pass to Sam Craft to get Memphis to midfield. A facemask penalty against Arkansas State moved the Tigers to the Red Wolves’ 38 and Hayes used three carries to move the ball inside the ASU 30. Lynch completed passes of six and 14 yards to put Memphis six yards away from scoring. Hayes capped the seven-play, 77-yard drive with a sixyard scoring run and a 7-0 Tigers’ lead. Memphis’ defense sacked ASU quarterback Adam Kennedy twice on their opening drive, forcing the Red Wolves to punt. Martin Ifedi sacked Kennedy for a loss of five and Terry Redden registered a sack later in the possession to force third and long. Keiwone Malone

half, sacking the quarterback six times while adding three more tackles for loss. Ifedi had two and a half sacks in the first half and Bobby McCain had an interception, the lone turnover by either team in the first half. Defense continued to come up big for the Tigers as the U of M forced Arkansas State to go three-and-out on its first possession of the second half. On the Red Wolves’ next drive, ASU drove 36 yards to the Memphis 31-yard line before facing fourth and four. The Tigers defense tackled Kennedy for a loss, resulting in a turnover on downs. The Tigers continued the ground attack, piling up 37 yards on the ground in an eight play, 69-yard drive. Daniel Hurd snared his first career reception, a 27-yard pass from Lynch. Hurd hauled in another catch on the next play, a five-yard catch to put Memphis on the ASU 26-yard line. After a seven-yard rush from Hayes, Warford had two carries for 19 yards and capped the drive with a 16-yard scamper for the Tigers’ 31-7 lead. Arkansas State was able to move past midfield just one more time in the second half, but the Tigers defense held again, forcing the turnover on downs. Memphis held ASU scoreless in the second half as the Red Wolves had 121 yards of offense and only 26 yards rushing. SCORING SUMMARY

After a 16-yard run by Hayes, Lynch hooked up with Tevin Jones for a 24-yard pickup to the UCF nine. Hayes would lose two yards on first down before Lynch ran for five. Following a timeout with 42 seconds to play, Hayes was intercepted in the end zone on a halfback pass as UCF secured the win. Lynch finished with a career-high 279 yards on 20-for38 passing while Hayes led the running game with 78 yards on the ground. Jones led the Memphis receivers with 63 yards on four catches. On defense, Anthony Brown led the Tigers with seven tackles while Tank Jakes and Andrew Gaines added six apiece. Memphis’ defense became the first opponent to hold UCF without a first-half touchdown during the season. The Knights entered the game averaging 450 yards of total offense before the Tigers held UCF to 270 yards, including 95 in the first half.

In a back-and-forth affair, it was a touchdown with less than two minutes to play that lifted UCF to a 24-17 victory over Memphis. After UCF tied the game up at 17-17 with 2:05 to play, a fumble on the ensuing kickoff by the Tigers was recovered and returned by UCF’s Drico Johnson for a touchdown to give the Knights a 24-17 victory. The Tigers tried to punch back with a Joe Craig kickoff return for a touchdown, but the score was negated by a holding call on the return. And still, the Tigers tried to fight back, marching down the field to the UCF eight-yard-line before UCF intercepted a pass in the end zone to preserve the win. Memphis led 17-10 when Sam Craft culminated an eight-play, 62-yard drive to begin the fourth quarter. The go-ahead series was highlighted by a 14-yard run on a fake punt by Tom Hornsey. On the ensuing play Tevin Jones caught a 21-yard pass from Paxton Lynch to move the ball to the UCF 13. Craft’s touchdown run with 12:59 to play gave the Tigers the lead for the first time since Brandon Hayes’ 16-yard touchdown run capped Memphis’ first offensive series. After forcing the Knights to punt on their next offensive series, Memphis moved the ball back into UCF territory with Craig hauling in a 20-yard reception from Lynch to move the ball to the UCF 44.
But after a five-yard run by Lynch, the Knights sacked the Tiger quarterback on ensuing plays forcing Memphis to punt. Trailing 17-10 with 7:28 to play, UCF quarterback Blake Bortles engineered a 15-play 80 yard drive to tie the game with 2:05 remaining. Bortles converted a thirdand-nine from the UCF 42 with a 15-yard pass to Breshad Perriman. Facing fourth-and-10 from the Tiger 28 with 3:11 to play, Bortles found Perriman open for a 16-yard pickup to the 12. After an 11-yard pass completion to Rannell Hall, running back Storm Johnson fumbled into the end zone. Offensive lineman Chris Martin was able to come up with the recovery for the tying score. On the ensuing kickoff, William Stanbeck forced Marquis Warford to fumble. Drico Johnson picked up the ball and scored from 12 yards out and the Knights led 24-17 with 1:56 left. After Craig’s 97-yard kickoff return was called back for holding, Memphis quickly moved back into the red zone. Lynch completed a 19-yard pass to Craft and a seven-yard pass to Mose Frazier to begin the drive.

BBVA Compass Stadium October 12, 2013
Despite out gaining Houston in yardage 349-247 and having to settle offensively for a school-record five field goals, four fumbles proved the difference in a 25-15 loss to Houston in a game played at BBVA Compass Stadium. Freshman kicker Jake Elliott accounted for all of the Tigers’ points with his school-record five field goals, including his first career 50-yarder. Elliott tied Ryan White’s record mark from 1999 against UAB as he began his career 10-for-10. The Memphis defense held its opponent to under 300 yards of offense for a fourth-straight game. The Tigers allowed the high-powered Houston offense to just 38 rushing yards and forced quarterback John O’Korn to 13-of-30 passing for 198 yards. Junior linebacker Tank Jakes led the Memphis defense with a career-high nine tackles. Freshman quarterback Paxton Lynch went 21-of41 for 222 yards through the air. Sophomore receiver Mose Frazier led the Tigers with 81 yards on five catches while senior running back Brandon Hayes led the ground game with 72 yards on 12 carries. Three of Memphis’ first five offensive series to begin the game ended with fumbles lost. Houston scored off the first two turnovers in taking a 10-6 lead. After Adrian Henderson fumbled following a reception near midfield, O’Korn completed passes of 29 and 14 yards on his first two attempts of the game and later found Daniel Spencer for a 17-yard touchdown catch to give UH an early lead.

stalled the Tigers’ next offensive series and the team settle for a 33-yard field goal to get on the board. On Memphis’ next offensive series, Lynch completed a 23-yard pass to Tevin Jones to give the Tigers the ball at the Houston 39. The Tigers managed just six combined yards on their next three plays before Elliott booted a 50-yard field goal. The lone play of the Tigers’ next offensive series resulted in a Marquis Warford fumble and the Cougars took over at the Memphis 11. The Cougars got backed up with a holding call but after a third-and-23 pass fell incomplete, a hands-to-theface personal foul on the play gave UH the ball at the 12 with another first down. Memphis’ defense would hold and UH settled for a 24-yard Richie Leone field goal to make the score 10-6. The Tigers would cut Houston’s lead to 10-9 with a 24-yard Elliott field goal with 58 seconds to play in the first half. To start the second half, Elliott kicked field goals of 42 and 38 yards to give Memphis a 15-10 lead. O’Korn’s deep passes of 30, 27 and 33 yards during Houston’s next offensive series would help set up a one-yard touchdown run by Kenneth Farrow who also caught a pass on the ensuing two-point conversion to give the Cougars an 18-15 lead in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, Memphis was flagged Houston Cougars

Memphis would be forced to punt from its own 11 on its next series. The Tigers would get the ball back with 4:08 to play, taking possession at their own three after Leone pinned Memphis with a 42-yard punt. The Tigers would get the ball out to the UH 49, converting on fourth down twice before Memphis had four straight incompletions to turn the ball over on downs with 26 seconds to play.

liott nailed the 52-yard field goal attempt to cut the Tigers deficit to 7-3. SMU added to that lead with a seven-play, 78-yard drive. On third-and-six from their own 26, Gilbert scampered for a gain of 24 yards. Following two completions to gain 18 yards, Gilbert found Johnson over the middle for a 31 yard pickup to put the Mustangs one yard away from the score. Traylon Shead rushed for the one yard score and SMU led 14-3 with 13:59 remaining in the first half. Shead added another oneyard touchdown run, Collin Lagasse scored on an eight-yard pass from Gilbert and Hover knocked through a 37yard field goal during a 24-point, second quarter for the Mustangs.

Two fumble recoveries returned for touchdowns by Ryan Coleman, which tied an NCAA record for a third time, sparked a furious Memphis rally, but the Tigers came up short to SMU, 34-29. SMU grabbed a 31-3 halftime advantage before the Tigers used three turnovers to help put up 26 second-half points. SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert passed for 321 yards and rushed for 49 more as the Mustangs outgained the Tigers 460-320. Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch was 26-of-36 for 198 yards, completing passes to nine different receivers. Chase Hover’s field goal with 5:18 to play in the third quarter extended the Mustangs’ lead to 34-3 before the Tigers rallied. Coleman took the ball from SMU’s Traylon Shead and ran 15 yards for a touchdown with 1:10 to play in the third quarter. Coleman’s second fumble return came when Reggis Ball forced punt returner JaBryce Taylor to lose the ball. Coleman picked it up and raced 19 yards for the score. The two-point conversion failed. After an unsuccessful on-side kick attempt by the Tigers, SMU moved the ball inside the Memphis 10 before Gilbert was intercepted by Ball who returned the ball from the seven. However, Ball dove into the
end zone and was called for unsportsmanlike conduct, giving the Tigers the ball at the SMU four. Three plays later, Brandon Hayes scored on a one-yard run. Elliott tagged on the point-after and the Tigers trailed 34-23 with 5:23 to play. Lynch was intercepted on the Tigers’ next possession by Beau Barnes and Memphis got the ball back with 1:12 to play. Memphis managed to score on the game’s final play with Lynch hooking up with Mose Frazer for an eight-yard touchdown reception. SMU wasted little time in grabbing a 7-0 advantage as Keenan Holman hauled in a 79-yard touchdown pass on the Mustangs’ second play of the game. Gilbert had a four-yard completion to Jeremy Johnson before Holman caught the 79yard score. Memphis gained one first down on the ensuing drive before Tom Hornsey was forced to punt. Hornsey pinned the Mustangs inside the five yard line. Memphis’ defense forced a three and out to give the Tigers the ball at their own 47. The Tigers used eight plays to push the ball to a third-and-7 at the SMU 35-yard line, but the Mustangs sacked Lynch. Memphis place-kicker Jake El-

Brandon Hayes rushed for a 31-yard touchdown with 5:27 remaining to cut the deficit to 27-21, but Cincinnati held off the Tigers’ rally for a 34-21 win in a game televised nationally on ESPN2. Cincinnati came out the aggressors, as quarterback Brendon Kay completed eight-straight passes to move the Bearcats 61 yards on the opening drive of the game. But Memphis’ defense clamped down and limited the last three completions to a combined nine yards. The Bearcats elected to go for it on fourth down and Lonnie Ballentine and Corey Jones teamed to stuff UC running back Tion Green for no gain and the Tigers took over on downs. Memphis stopped Cincinnati on their next drive and Joe Craig’s 32-yard return along with a personal foul gave the Tigers possession at the UC 28-yard line. Cincinnati forced Memphis into a fourth and inches at the 19, but Brandon Hayes rushed it up the middle for an 11-yard gain and a first down. Three plays later, quarterback Paxton Lynch completed a seven-yard pass to Tevin Jones for the score. Jake Elliott’s extra-point was good and Memphis took the 7-0 lead. Cincinnati used a methodical nine-play, 75-yard drive to tie the score at 7-7 early in the second quarter. Kay was 4-for-4 on the drive for 60 yards, but the rushing game produced the touchdown.

18 yards on the drive. The Bearcats took advantage of a Marquis Warford fumble to grab a 14-7 lead. Jeff Luc forced the fumble, and Zach Edwards pounced on it to give Cincinnati possession at the Memphis 19. Ralph David Abernathy scored on the first play from scrimmage following the turnover. A 35-yard punt return by UC’s Shaq Washington and a face mask penalty on the play gave the Bearcats the ball at the Memphis 13 with 2:19 to play in the first half. Two sacks, which backed up the Bearcats to the 27, along with an incompletion forced a field goal try. Ricky Hunter sacked Kay on first down, but it was Martin Ifedi’s sack on third down that pushed the Bearcats back to the 27. Tony Miliano’s field goal try was wide left to send the game to the half with Cincinnati leading 14-7. After forcing Memphis to a three-and-out to open the second half, Cincinnati marched down the field to take a 21-7 lead. Kay helped the Bearcats convert a key third and seven with a 22-yard pass to Mekale McKay. Green capped the 11 play, 69-yard drive with a two-yard rush across the goal line.

Memphis scored two, fourth-quarter touchdowns to distance themselves from UT Martin en route to a 21-6 victory over the Skyhawks. UT Martin’s first eight plays from scrimmage were on the ground as the Skyhawks moved the ball to the Memphis 24-yard line before being forced to kick a field goal. Kicker Jackson Redditt gave the Skyhawks a 3-0 lead at the 10:55 mark with a 41-yard kick. After a three-and-out on their first drive, the Tigers began their next series with a 14-yard run from Brandon Hayes, followed by a 30-yard pass from Paxton Lynch to Sam Craft to reach midfield. Facing a third-and-seven, Lynch found Tevin Jones for eight yards to keep the drive alive. After a 12-yard run from Hayes, Lynch was sacked for a loss of 19 yards on third-and-four to push the Tigers out of field goal range. In the second quarter, Lynch had a pass intercepted near midfield and returned to the Memphis 45 by Camaren Harris. On UT Martin’s first play from scrimmage, Jarod Neal found Jeremy Butler for 25 yards to reach the 20-yard line. A personal foul and pass interference call on Memphis pushed the Skyhawks to the Memphis two-yard line, but unsportsmanlike conduct on UT Martin would move the ball back to the Memphis 16, forcing an eventual field goal for the Skyhawks. However, Redditt’s kick would hit the left upright to keep the score 3-0 with 7:45 remaining in the second half. After forcing Memphis to punt, UT Martin
reached the Memphis 14-yard line, following a 51-yard rush from Abou Toure. Ricky Hunter and Charles Harris helped the Tigers defense keep the Skyhawks out of the end zone. Redditt converted his third attempt, this one a 21-yarder, to put UT Martin up 6-0 with 1:34 remaining before halftime. Memphis’ final drive before the half would be its best yet as Lynch completed a pass to Alan Cross for 32 yards to get the Tigers down to the UT Martin 16-yard line. A pass interference flag on Kevin Barfield moved the ball to the sixyard line before Lynch found the end zone, winding through the Skyhawks’ defense to give the Tigers the lead, 7-6, at the half. The Skyhawks threatened midway through the third quarter after recovering a Memphis fumble on the Tigers’ 33. Chris Thompson caught a Neal pass for 15 yards to get into the red zone. However, a face mask on the Skyhawks pushed the ball back to the 31-yard line, resulting in another UT Martin field goal try. Redditt’s kick would again hit the left upright to help Memphis keep a 7-6 advantage with 8:26 left in the quarter. In the fourth quarter, Lynch found Craft for 26 yards to reach midfield before completing another pass to Mose Frazier for 12 yards to get to the Skyhawks’ 41-yard line. Lynch reached the UT Martin red zone after a 24-yard run. Memphis then extended its lead to 14-6 as Lynch went to Hayes through the air

Memphis cornerback Bobby McCain tied a school record with three pass interceptions while place-kicker Jake Elliott booted a pair of first-half field goals, one a school-recorder 56-yarder, as the Tigers defeated USF 23-10 for the team’s first American Athletic Conference victory. The game was projected to be a defensive tussle and that projection certainly played out at Raymond James Stadium. The two teams combined for just 213 yards of first-half offense – 106 by Memphis and 107 by USF. The two teams managed just three field goals through three-plus quarters of play. Memphis would break open the tight contest with an eight-play, 65-yard drive that culminated with a Brandon Hayes’ five-yard touchdown run that gave the Tigers a 13-3 lead with 4:09 to play. In his first start in his home state of Florida, quarterback Paxton Lynch completed back-to-back passes for 10 and 15 yards to Keiwone Malone. Later from the USF 27, Hayes converted a third-and-four play with an eight-yard run. He carried for 14 yards on the Tigers’ next play to set up his scoring run. USF true freshman quarterback Mike White, the Bulls’ fourth starter at the position during the year, was intercepted by Dion Witty on the first play of

USF’s next offensive series. Witty returned the ball 22 yards to set up Elliott’s third field goal, a 34-yarder that gave the Tigers a 16-3 lead with 2:08 to play. Two plays later, McCain stepped in front of a White pass, returning the ball 36 yards for the Tigers’ final score. USF avoided going without an offensive touchdown for a fifth time during the year when White tossed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Andre Davis with 46 seconds to play. White began the series with a 16-yard pass to Davis and also had completions of 20 and six yards during the series. USF successfully converted an on-side kick but McCain intercepted a pass in the end zone on the game’s final play. All told, the Bulls had five turnovers on the night. Linebacker Tank Jakes led the Tigers with six tackles while defensive end Martin Ifedi had two quarterback sacks and forced a fumble. Memphis had to settle for a 19-yard Elliott field goal to put the first points on the board with 1:46 to play in the first quarter. Facing third-and-goal from the one, Tevin Mims stuffed Hayes for no gain and the Tigers elected to send out the field goal unit. USF B u l l s

Memphis had a goal-line stand of its own in the second quarter. A 37-yard punt return by Hassan Childs gave USF the ball at the Memphis 30. A 28-yard run by Chris Dunkley moved the ball inside the five and a three-yard run by Marcus Shaw put the ball at the 1. But on the next play Martin Lawrence fumbled into the end zone and the Tigers recovered. Late in the second quarter Doroland Dorceus ran for 26 yards to the USF 37 and three plays later Elliott kicked a 56-yard field goal that hit the crossbar and bounced through to give the Tigers a 6-0 lead at the half. Elliott’s field goal set a new American Athletic Conference record and established a new school mark previously held by New England Patriot kicker Stephen Gostkowski who booted a 53-yarder for the Tigers against Marshall in 2005. The game featured two of the semifinalists for the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award. USF’s Marvin Kloss was 1-for-3, missing from 49 and 55 yards.

Memphis Tigers
After a three-and-out by Memphis, Louisville stretched its lead to 17-3 with a 39-yard field goal from Wallace with just over a minute left in the half. The Cardinals scored midway through the third quarter with Dominque Brown scoring from four yards out to make the score 24-3. Memphis would score twice in the fourth quarter. Lynch would cap a 62yard drive with a four-yard touchdown run with 14:55 to play. Jesse Milleson’s six-yard touchdown reception from Lynch would make the score 24-17 with 6:07 to play. Later in the game, Memphis’ defense forced Louisville to punt, but a roughing the kicker call on Memphis allowed the Cardinals to keep the ball with three minutes to play. The Cardinals would later turn the ball over on downs with 37 seconds to play. The Tigers would not get much out of their last possession, reaching their own 23-yard line as time expired.

Then 21st-ranked Louisville fended off a late rally by the Memphis football team to hold on for a 24-17 victory at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. Trailing 24-3 at the end of the third quarter, the Tigers scored two touchdowns in the final period to make it a game against the home team on Senior Day. The Tigers would get the ball back with just under a minute left in regulation, but time expired on their final possession. The Cardinals were held to their second-lowest total offense production (342) and the second-lowest amount of passing yards (220) this season. Paxton Lynch went 11-of-23 for 144 yards and one touchdown while rushing for 42 yards on eight attempts. Keiwone Malone totaled 81 receiving yards on just three catches while Brandon Hayes led the running game with 94 yards on 22 carries to help Memphis to 279 total yards. Charles Harris led the Memphis defense with nine tackles (7 solo), while Andrew Gaines and Ryan Coleman each recorded eight tackles. Defense by both teams played a large role throughout the first quarter. On Memphis’ second series, Lynch was picked off by the Cardinals’ Charles Gaines and returned 36 yards to give Louisville good field position at the Memphis 26. Facing a fourth-and-one on the 17-yard line, the Cardinals would be stopped short of the first down marker as Tank Jakes tackled Louisville quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater for a loss of nine yards to give the Tigers the ball. Memphis’ next drive wouldn’t last long as Louisville’s Sheldon Rankins forced a fumble that was picked up by Preston Brown and returned 48 yards for a touchdown to give the Cardinals a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Tigers defense continued to cause Louisville problems as a 50-yard field goal attempt by John Wallace was blocked by linebacker Jackson Dillon to keep it a one-score game. The Tigers reached midfield on their next drive after Lynch scrambled for nine yards to give Memphis a first down at the 50. On the next play, Lynch found Malone for 47 yards to get inside the Louisville five-yard line. After a personal foul on the Cardinals, Memphis was given a first-andgoal at the one. The Cardinals held strong at the goal line, making two tackles for loss to force an 18-yard Jake Elliott field goal that made it 7-3 with 6:54 to play in the half. Louisville didn’t waste much time on their next drive as the Cardinals punched in their second touchdown of the day after a 39-yard pass from Bridgewater to DeVante Parker for a 14-3 score with 5:13 remaining in the period.

Memphis was held to 228 yards of offense and allowed 534 yards to Temple in a 41-21 loss at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. On Temple’s first drive of the game, the Owls used a fake punt on fourth-and-two to gain nine yards from Paul Layton and keep their drive alive. Temple converted their second fourth-down conversion with a three-yard run from quarterback P.J. Walker on fourth-and-one before its drive stalled to give Memphis the ball on its own 33 with 8:01 to play in the first. After a three-and-out by the Tigers, a 61-yard punt from Tom Hornsey pinned the Owls at their own four-yard line. Temple continued to move the ball well as a 21yard run from Jamie Gilmore followed by a face mask penalty put the Owls at the Memphis 45-yard line. On the next play, Gilmore added 28 yards on the ground to get inside the red zone. The Owls’ drive would end there with Nick Visco attempting a 22-yarder. The kick would be partially blocked, but hit the crossbar and bounced over to give Temple a 3-0 lead with 2:22 to play in the first quarter. The Tigers got their offense going in the second quarter with Paxton Lynch finding Alan Cross for 25 yards to reach the Temple 28. Memphis would get inside the Temple red zone before a fumble at the

13-yard line gave the Owls the ball back with 12:26 to play in the half. A 45-yard pass from Walker to Chris Coyer highlighted Temple’s next drive to put the Owls at the Memphis 15. Temple punched in the first touchdown of the game with a pass from Walker to Robbie Anderson to give the Owls a 10-0 advantage with 7:22 left in the half. Memphis got back in the game on its next possession with Joe Craig returning the kickoff 56 yards to the Temple 30. After a six-yard gain from Brandon Hayes, Lynch then hit Keiwone Malone for 23 yards to get to the Temple one-yard line. Sam Craft then got Memphis on the board with a one-yard run to make it 10-7 at the 5:49 mark. Late in the half after forcing a Memphis punt, the Owls got going with a 40-yard run from Walker before finding Anderson again in the end zone with an 11-yard throw to give Temple a 17-7 halftime lead. Craft began the second half with a 54-yard return on the kickoff to reach Temple’s 40-yard line. The drive would stall for the Tigers. Hornsey’s punt would force Temple to start from inside their own five-yard line for the second time at the one.

UConn would score two more touchdowns – a 32-yard touchdown hookup between Cochran and Foxx late in the third quarter and a one-yard touchdown run by Martin Hyppolite on a mid-fourth quarter series highlighted by a 45yard, Cochran-to-Davis pass. Memphis was held to 12 yards of total offense in the fourth quarter. During the game, Lynch became just the 10th quarterback in Memphis history to pass for 2,000 yards in a season and 16th in a career. The game marked the final contest for 29 seniors – 14 from UConn and 15 from Memphis. It was also just the third time Memphis had played in the Northeast. The other two came at Army (1985 and 2000).

Connecticut quarterback Casey Cochran threw for a school record 461 yards and four touchdowns as the Huskies defeated Memphis 45-10 at Rentschler Field. Cochran’s favorite target on the day was Geremy Davis who caught a school-record 15 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown. He became the first 1,000-yard UConn receiver since 1998. Deshonn Foxx caught 11 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns. After beginning the year 0-9, UConn won three straight games to end the season. Memphis closed out 2013 by losing its last three. UConn had 538 yards of offense. Memphis had just one offensive series of more than 38 yards, a seven-play, 71-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter. Prior to the Tigers finding the end zone for the first time, UConn had built a 31-3 lead. Memphis actually got on the scoreboard first with Jake Elliott making a 43-yard field goal with 5:34 to play in the first quarter. UConn’s next offensive series went no where and the Tigers actually got the ball near midfield for its next possession but were forced to punt from the 50 four plays later. Cochran would complete 15-of-20 passes in the second quarter for 162 yards and guided the
Huskies to three touchdowns in the quarter to give UConn a 21-3 halftime lead. The Huskies’ first scoring drive would actually start late in the first quarter with Cochran completing four of his last five passes in the quarter including back-toback passes for five and 18 yards to Foxx. Foxx would cap an 11play, 89-yard drive with another 18-yard reception and UConn led 7-3 with 13:10 play in the first half. Cochran also tossed a 15-yard touchdown pass to Davis and moved the Huskies 63 yards in the final 1:03 of the half, capping the seven-play series with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Lyle McCombs. UConn would add to their 21-7 halftime lead with touchdown drives on their first two series of the second half. Cochran completed all five of his passes during a 53-yard drive that culminated in a seven-yard Lyle McCombs touchdown run. On the ensuing kickoff, Memphis had a 51-yard Joe Craig return negated by a personal foul flag on the play and the Tigers would fumble on their next offensive play. Chad Christen’s 46-yard field goal with 7:20 to play in the third quarter gave UConn a 31-3 lead. A 10-yard touchdown pass from Paxton Lynch to Keiwone Malone with 4:58 to play in the third quarter would cut the Huskies’ lead to 31-10.

Former University of Memphis punter Tom Hornsey was named the 2013 Ray Guy Award winner. The award is annually presented to the nation’s best punter. Hornsey received the award on December 12, 2013, at The Home Depot College Football Awards broadcasted by ESPN. Ray Guy, the College Hall of Fame punter who played at Southern Miss and went on to have a 14-year career in the NFL with the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders, presented the award. Hornsey received one of nine National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA) awards during the evening. During the evening he was also named a member of the Walter Camp All-America Second Team. He is only the second player from the U of M to be named a Walter Camp All-American with the other being DeAngelo Williams in 2005. Hornsey was included on the 2013 NCAA FBS Consensus College Football Team. The recognition is determined by a point system computed from All-America teams named by the American Football Coaches Association and select media sources. Hornsey was named to the American Football Coaches Association’s All-America Team. He was a First-Team All-America selection by the Associated Press, the Football Writers Association of America, Athlon Sports and USA Today. During his senior season Hornsey ranked eighth nationally with a 45.2 punting average while helping the Tigers post a 41.02 net punting average which ranked fourth in the country. During the year he had three of the 15 highest game punting averages in Memphis history. Hornsey placed 29 of 62 punts inside opponents’ 20-yard line (.468). The .468 percentage ranked fifth nationally while the 29 punts downed inside the 20 tied for third among FBS punters through the regular season. He only had four of his punts go into the end zone for touchbacks while opponents managed just 19 returns for 136 yards. A two-time Ray Guy Award Player of the Week, Hornsey averaged 40+ yards 10 times during the season. In the two games in which he averaged just

under 40 yards, he placed a total of eight of 13 punts inside opponents’ 20-yard line. During his career, Hornsey had 34 games in which he averaged 40+ yards, three shy of an NCAA record. Hornsey was the inaugural winner of the Ray Guy Award Player of the Week award when he averaged 49.6 yards per punt against Middle Tennessee. He placed two of his five punts inside the Blue Raiders’ 20 and had a 68-yarder in the game. Coupled with a career-long, 79-yard punt the previous week against Duke, he had two of the 10 longest punts in FBS football through the first three weeks of the college season. Hornsey would also have a 70-yard punt against UT Martin en route to a 46.8 yard average in the Tigers’ win against UT Martin. He was recognized for his efforts against UTM with a second Ray Guy Award
Player of the Week honor, becoming just the second punter to receive the honor twice during the year. Hornsey averaged a season-best 51.7 yards against Houston, which ranked seventh in school history, and also averaged 50.5 yards against Temple on Senior Day. In addition to his statistical numbers, Hornsey was a member of Justin Fuente’s second Leadership Council at the University of Memphis. He was a game captained all 12 contests during the year.

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.

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 all of the Tigers’ points in 1992.

Joe Allison, standing with Lou Groza, was the first recipient of the prestigious Lou Groza Award.
Media
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 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

John Bramlett One of the greatest defensive players in Tiger football history, John Bramlett was a two-sport athlete at Memphis State University. A linebacker out of Humes High School in Memphis, Bramlett played for head coach Billy J. Murphy for four seasons. He also had a stellar career at catcher for the Tigers’ baseball team. A speedy and intense player, Bramlett made the Memphis Football varsity squad immediately as a freshman in 1959 and became a starter midway through the year. The Tigers finished the 1959 season with a 6-4 record and posted wins against Florida State and Southern Mississippi. During the 1960 campaign, Bramlett helped the Tigers improve to an 8-2 record and the 1961 team also posted an 8-2 record. As a senior, Bramlett registered two pass interceptions which were returned for a total of 55 yards. The Tigers improved to 8-1 and in an important program milestone, Bramlett led the defense in allowing Mississippi State to score just seven points as Memphis State won its first game against an SEC opponent, 28-7 against the Bulldogs in Starkville, Miss. Memphis would finish the 1962 season ranked 17th in the nation by United Press International. On the baseball diamond, Bramlett batted .323 as a freshman and .357 during his sophomore season. The Tigers were 5-15 in 1959 but improved to 1212 in 1960. As a junior, Bramlett led the squad with a .403 batting average and the team posted a 13-6 record. As a senior, he hit .358, hit four home runs and stole 18 bases. Bramlett was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals and stayed in professional baseball for three years before signing a contract with the Denver Broncos in 1965. Bramlett was the runner-up for Rookie of the Year honors in the NFL behind quarterback Joe Namath. He went on to play seven seasons for four teams in the NFL. Bramlett had his jersey retired on Sept. 7, 2013 when the Tigers opened the season against Duke.

Isaac Bruce
Isaac Bruce came to the Memphis football team as a wide receiver in 1992. The junior college transfer made an im-

mediate 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 second-leading 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.

D av e Casinelli Dave Casinelli, who was Memphis’ all-time leading rusher until DeAngelo Williams took the record book by storm, was recruited to Memphis in 1960 from Follansbee, W.Va., where he received all-America honors as a senior in high school. Casinelli played at Memphis from 1960-63 and ended his career by leading the nation in rushing and scoring, while guiding the Tigers to an undefeated season in 1963. During his first year as a starter, Casinelli led Memphis in rushing with 646 yards on 117 carries. His nine touchdowns in 1961 also led the Tigers. As a junior, “The Bull” gained 826 yards on 173 attempts while scoring 11 touchdowns. In his record-breaking senior year, Casinelli became the first Tiger to rush for 1,000 yards in a single-season 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 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.
#79 Harry Schuh
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. Following his collegiate career, Schuh was taken by the Oakland Raiders as the second player selected in the 1965 Draft, behind Alabama quarterback Joe Namath. He played six seasons for the Raiders, three years for the Los Angeles Rams and one season for the Green Bay Packers. Schuh was an All-Star selection in 1968 and 1969 and was selected to play in the NFC-AFL Pro Bowl Game in 1970. Schuh’s grandson Stephen Schuh lettered as an offensive lineman for the Tigers from 2003-06. Schuh had his jersey retired when Memphis hosted East Carolina on October 15, 2011. Schuh passed away May 20, 2013.
DeAngelo Williams DeAngelo Williams came to the University of Memphis from nearby Wynne, Arkansas, and became one of the most decorated players in Tiger history. Named to several All-America teams during his career, Williams was a key factor in the Tigers going to three straight bowl games for the first time ever in school history. He rewrote the rushing section of the Tiger record book and finished his career with 6,026 yards and 55 rushing touchdowns on 969 carries. In addition, he caught five touchdowns and registered 723 receiving yards on 70 receptions. Williams played as a true freshman in 2002 and later was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. He went on to claim C-USA Offensive Player of the Year honors the other three seasons of his career. He was also touted for Heisman honors entering his senior season with the Tigers, and held true to the publicity ending his senior campaign ranked No. 1 nationally in rushing with an average of 178.55 yards per game. During his storied career, Williams set an NCAA record with 34 games of 100-plus yards rushing, and ranks fourth all-time in NCAA history in career rushing yards with 6,026. He also holds the NCAA record for career all-purpose yards with 7,573. In addition to multiple league honors, Williams also received various national awards and recognition. He was named to the prestigious Walter Camp All-America Team; was a finalist for the 2005 Doak Walker Award; and was the MVP of both the 2005 Motor City Bowl and the 2006 Senior Bowl to name a few. The speedy back was selected by the Carolina Panthers as the 27th pick of the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Williams had his jersey retired on Nov. 5, 2006 when the Tigers hosted Southern Miss.

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 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.

Rose Bowl (104,091) December 18, 1971
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.

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.

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.

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
Tailback LaKendus Cole received the game ball for his efforts in the 2003 New Orleans Bowl.

For the Tigers, DeAngelo Williams, the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year, carried the ball 18 times for 120 yards, including an impressive 31-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Williams missed the final quarter after breaking his right fibula 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 fourplay, 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 42-yard 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.

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 onside 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.

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 4thand-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

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. SCORING SUMMARY Memphis FAU Attendance: 25,146

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 mid-October, 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 back-toback 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 fivestraight 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 4427 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.
Quarterback Martin Hankins threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game with an injury.

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.

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

U n d e f e at e d T e a m s 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.

Tigers Football Through the Years
1910S
• 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.
• 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 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

• 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.

• In 1915, Cull Cullpepper joined the faculty at WTSNS after a brilliant football
• 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 fulltime athletic director and coach. The job was given to Lester Barnard.
• 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.
• 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.
History
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• The 1930s opened with the Teachers again winning the Mississippi Valley Conference championship with a 6-31 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.
Records
• 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.
1920S
• 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.
1930S
2013 Review
• West Tennessee State Normal School’s first football victory came in the 1912 season when the Tudors defeated Bolton Agricultural College 13-0.
• 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.
• 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 locals won the game, 20-0, before 1,500 fans.
Players
• 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.
• 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.
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.
Coaching Staff
• 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.
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.

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 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 fouryear 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. • The 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.
1950S • The 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. • In 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 2925 in Memphis. The Cardinals quarterback that afternoon was Johnny Unitas.

• The 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. • Modern 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 “Bear” Bryant. The Tigers, who had changed their offense prior to the game, opened the scoring and led 7-0 early in the game. 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

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 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

• 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.

• 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 9144-1 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.

• 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.
• 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 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.

• 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 27-17. 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.

• 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 20-14 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.

• 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 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 re-entered 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

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 hardnosed 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 7-40 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 his tenure at Mississippi State. Tiger tailback Eddie Hill was named the Associated Press National Back of the Week for his play.

• 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.

However, the 1988 season’s 6-50 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.

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-CUSA 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-of16 field goals and 22-of-22 PATs on the season. He finished the season ranked 18th in the nation in kicking.

• 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 new, allsports 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 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 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 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 18yard gain. On 3rd-and-8 from the 11yard 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.

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.

• 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 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.

Tigers Football Through the Years three Ryan White field goals and an 82yard 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 hardfought 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
goTigersgo.com
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 in yards per carry averaging an amazing 6.6 yards per attempt. Memphis placed four players on both the All-C-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 first-ever 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 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 All-American 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 fouryear 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 All-America 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 highly-publicized 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 fullsize 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.

• 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 nonBCS 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.
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association • 1935-1942 • The Tigers left the Mississippi Valley Conference in 1934 and promptly joined the membership of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

History
• 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 two-game losing streak with a win over Marshall and that game

• 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.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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-CUSA Team as for the first time in league history, coaches and media picked separate teams.

• 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 Offensive 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.
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.

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 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.

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 twoyear career as the No. 3 running back all-time.

In addition to the College Football Playoff and Host Bowls, the American Athletic Conference has either a future primary or secondary affiliation with 13 bowl games. The American will receive a minimum of five to eight bowl invitations each year. The conference will work annually with its schools and bowl partners to create the most sensible and attractive matchups. Under the new postseason structure, American Athletic Conference teams will have an opportunity to participate in the four-team College Football Playoff if chosen by the CFP Selection Committee. If the American champion finishes as the highest-ranked team among the champions of Conference USA, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and the Sun Belt Conference, but does not qualify for the College Football Playoff, then it would participate in one of the three Host Bowls that will comprise part of the CFP rotation – the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl or the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
