The largest crowd Memphis has ever played in front of was 107,261 when the Tigers fell to Tennessee in Knoxville during the ‘99 season.

The University of Memphis football program is very fortunate to have one of the finest football facilities in the nation in which to play its home football 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 62,380-seat facility, built in 1965 at a cost of $3.7 million by the city of Memphis and renovated in 1987 for $19.5 million, is operated by the Memphis Park Services Department. The Tigers inaugurated the stadium in the fall of 1965 and in 43 years, have compiled a 135-115-7 record in the Liberty Bowl. The stadium features a synthetic FieldTurf playing surface, spacious locker rooms and a four-level press box, which features a stadium club for VIPs. The playing surface, which had been natural grass through the 2004 season, was replaced with the new FieldTurf surface that is used in more than 25 NCAA Division IA football stadiums. In December of 1983, city of Memphis officials named the playing surface Rex Dockery Field in honor of the late Tiger coach who was killed in a plane crash. In the spring of 1984, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Memphis added a new scoreboard and sound system to Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium/Rex Dockery Field. The computer operated scoreboard is 100-feet long and stands 23-feet high. It has a 16’ x 32’ message center and was the largest scoreboard in the Mid-South at the time. Included in the 1987 stadium renovation were the addition of the sky-suites located on the east side of the

stadium, approximately 12,000 seats in the stands and a stadium club to accommodate donors. In addition, several areas of the stadium were vastly improved, including the lighting system, playing surface, handicap seating area, concession stands and restroom facilities. In 1999, the city of Memphis and Jumbotron entered into an agreement which placed a new 18’ x 24’ video scoreboard system in the south end of the stadium. In addition to the new $850,000 playing surface for the 2005 season, the stadium has also undergone aesthetic changes that have 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 entrances to welcome Tiger fans. In the spring of 2008, the first step toward a major renovation project at the Liberty Bowl began when funding was approved by the Memphis City Council to improve both the home and visitor locker rooms as well as adding multi-purpose rooms that can be used for recruiting. The stadium is also the host site of the annual AutoZone/Liberty Bowl game, as well as the Southern Heritage Classic. Located near the Memphis Fairgrounds, the stadium also hosted the Tennessee-Kentucky High School All-Star game in 1994. Throughout the 43-year history, several professional teams have called the Liberty Bowl home. In 1974, the Grizzlies of the World Football League played their one and only season in Memphis. From 1978-80, the stadium was host to the Memphis Rogues of the North American Soccer League, and later in 1984-85 to the Showboats of the U.S. Football League. Three other teams spent just one season in the Liberty Bowl including the Memphis Maniax of the XFL (2001), the Tennessee Oilers (1997) and the Memphis Mad Dogs of the CFL (1995). The largest crowd to witness a Memphis home football game at the Liberty Bowl was the record-setting 65,885 who attended the Tigers’ stunning upset of No. 6 ranked Tennessee in 1996. The Tigers defeated the Vols, 21-17, before a regionally-televised audience on CBS-TV. The entire nation, however, saw Memphis’ game-winning drive when CBS carried the final five minutes nationally. In 2004, Memphis hosted Louisville for an ESPNbroadcasted Thursday night game. A crowd of 52,384 fans came out for the game, marking the largest Tiger crowd for a non-SEC opponent. That same season, Memphis set a new home attendance average record with 41,175 fans in just five games. The previous high average was 40,622 in 2003, and that was for seven home games.

LISTEN TO ALL THE TIGER ACTION ON WREC-AM 600 In 2006, the University of Memphis began a new broadcasting agreement with Clear Channel Radio, making WREC 600AM the flagship station for all Tiger football and men’s basketball games through the 2010-11 season. WREC is in its 85th year covering the Mid-South region as the station Memphis turns to for news. The new flagship allows Tiger games to be broadcast in HD Digital. Existing radio network affiliate agreements will allow for broadcasts to reach from near Nashville to the east, Jonesboro to the north, Little Rock to the west, and Oxford to the south. Dave Woloshin remains as play-by-play commentator for his 12th season. Woloshin, a well-known sports figure in Memphis, is in his 23rd year of being associated with the Tiger broadcast team. He began with Tiger television broadcasts in 1986, and for the last 11 years, has handled the radio broadcast for Tiger football and basketball. Woloshin came to Memphis as the sports anchor for WHBQ-TV 13 in 1981. He has handled play-by-play for the Memphis RiverKings, the Memphis Americans, Storm and Rogues soccer teams, has worked with ESPN and SportsChannel America and for numerous prep football games of the week. Woloshin is married to the former Gayle Stein of Memphis. The couple has four children, Nathan (16), Jacob (15), Brett (19) and Brendan (16). Former all-American center Bob Rush returns to handle the color commentary for the 21st-consecutive season. Rush, who played for the Tigers from 1973 through 1976, hails from Clarksville, Tenn. He started at center for Memphis during the 1974, 1975 and 1976 seasons and earned all-America honors in 1975 and 1976. In addition, he was named to the All-South Independent team for three years, the M Club Athlete of the Year (1976), first team All-America by The Sporting News (1976), honorable mention All-America by the Associated Press (1975 & 1976) and was co-captain of the 1976 Tiger football team.

Following his graduation from Memphis, Rush was drafted in the first round by the San Diego Chargers and played five seasons for the Southern California team before being traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in 1983. After starting for the Chiefs for three seasons, Rush retired from the NFL in 1986. He is married to the former Patsy Rentrop of Memphis. The couple has two grown children, Jeffrey Jr. and Lacey. Native Memphian Forrest Goodman is entering his 10th season as the pre-game and post-game host for Memphis football and basketball. Goodman, who is the assistant program director for NewsRadio 600 WREC, also serves as the host of both the Tommy West and John Calipari radio call-in shows. Prior to joining the Tiger 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 the fourth straight season. Dillon, who is in his 35th 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 WREC. He has hosted the shows for the last six years. In addition to his football duties, Dillon has handled the color for Dave Woloshin on the radio broadcast of Memphis basketball since 2002-03. The 1973 University of Memphis graduate began his long broadcast association with Tiger sports when he did play-by-play for WKNO-TV from 1973-2001.

THE TOMMY WEST SHOW All of the replay excitement of Tiger football can be seen each Sunday night on ABC24/WPTY in Memphis. Dave Woloshin, who is the play-by-play announcer for Memphis’ radio broadcast, will serve as host of the weekly Tommy West Television Show. Last season, in addition to airing on WPTY-TV at 10:35 p.m. on Sundays, the show was also carried on a delay basis by Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS). Woloshin and West will discuss the game in depth each week while breaking down highlights from each contest. The show also contains feature segments about various Tiger football players throughout the year. The Memphis Football Coach’s Show has been aired by WPTY-TV/WLMT-TV for more than 10 years. Over the past 17 years, numerous Tiger football and basketball games have been carried by WLMTTV.

In the 1980s, Dillon also served as 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 Tiger football and basketball, including hosting coaches shows in the late 1990s. Dillon and his wife, Marni, reside in Germantown. Jeff Brightwell, who is considered the “voice of Tiger baseball and women’s basketball”, serves as the broadcast team captain handling the majority of the production and engineering duties. A 1996 graduate of the University of Memphis, 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. For the last five years, the native Memphian has broadcast both home and away contests for Memphis baseball and women’s basketball on WUMR FM. 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 has also served as the public address announcer for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds.

In 2005, Conference USA entered into long-term agreements with ESPN, Inc. and CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV). The new agreements contain six-year initial terms to begin July 1, 2005, and conclude June 30, 2011. “We are very pleased with these new agreements,” said C-USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky. “The Conference’s financial goals will be met and we will have more events distributed to a broader audience than ever before.” The agreement with ESPN extends the conference’s current regular season football package to include the broadcast of the conference’s Football Championship Game. It also encompasses distribution of men’s basketball and women’s basketball on ESPN/ESPN2 and both tournament championship games. The C-USA content granted to ESPN may also be available through the collection of ESPN entities such as ESPN Mobile (wireless), ESPN Interactive, ESPN Broadband (ESPN 360), ESPN.com, ESPN Pay-Per-View, ESPN Video-on-Demand, ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD, ESPN Deportes and more. The University of Memphis is no stranger to the talent and leadership of ESPN, having played football and basketball games on the prestigious sportsentertainment network for a number of years. The Tigers’ first appearance on ESPN occurred during the 1982 season when Memphis traveled to Athens, Ga., to take on Herschel Walker and the 14th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. In 1993, Memphis played a Thanksgiving weekend contest against the Miami Hurricanes in Orange Bowl Stadium. In 2004, four of Memphis’ last five games of the season were broadcast nationally by ESPN, and the Tigers have been carried by the national outlet 14 times since 2003. The contract with ESPN includes several key events, including the C-USA Football Championship game and 10 regular-season football games to be aired on ESPN or ESPN2. In 2008, C-USA will have great exposure on ESPN and its family of networks, having at least 15

C-USA PREDICTIONS Conference USA coaches picked Memphis to finish fourth in the East Division behind UCF, East Carolina and Southern Miss in their 2008 preseason poll. The Tigers were picked fifth early on last season and ended 2007 tied for second with East Carolina with a 6-2 league record. The six wins was the most C-USA victories for Memphis since the league began playing football in 1996, and also marked the fourth time that the Tigers have logged at least five C-USA victories. The other three times were all under head coach Tommy Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction in three-consecutive years from 2003-05.

BELILES ON RIMINGTON WATCH LIST

The University of Memphis was one of just seven teams in the country who participated in a football bowl game, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the NCAA baseball tournament in the 2007 calendar year. The Tigers are the only nonBCS program who could make the above claims in 2007. The other squads were: Arkansas, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, UCLA and Virginia.

Senior Philip Beliles was one of three C-USA centers who were listed on the Rimington Trophy 2008 Spring Watch List. Beliles took over the center position in 2007 and started all 13 games for the Tigers. He worked 92 percent of the team’s offensive plays and was instrumental in Memphis ranking 13th nationally in passing and 23rd in total offense. Beliles, a Memphis native who prepped at Christian Brothers High School, was part of a Tiger offensive line that ranked 10th nationally and led Conference USA for the fourth-straight year in sack denial, allowing only 14 in 13 games.

Tim Walton joins the Memphis football team in 2008 as the defensive coordinator.

NEW LINEUP

Last season, Memphis won the Battle of the Bones against UAB televised live on CSS. In 2008, the Tigers look to repeat against the Blazers with the game televised by CBS College Sports.

TO THE IN

2008

Head coach Tommy West added two new assistant coaches for the 2008 season as Tim Walton returns to Memphis as the defensive coordinator and Lytrel Pollard joins the squad from C-USA rival Southern Miss to coach Tiger corners. Walton previously coached Tiger DBs from 2000-01 and came to Memphis after serving four seasons on the staff at the University of Miami.

TIGER GRADS By the start of the 2008 season, six Tigers will have already earned their bachelor’s degrees from the University of Memphis. The group of graduates include: Brandon Patterson, Michael Denning, Antonio McCoy, Corey Mills, Brandon Pearce and Philip Beliles. Patterson was Memphis’ first football Academic AllAmerican since 1992 when he was selected to the ESPN The Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-America second team in 2007. From August 2007 through May 2008, Tiger football has graduated 21 players.

Senior Brandon Patterson is the Tigers’ first football Academic All-American since 1992.

PEARCE AND CALHOUN TABBED TO PRESEASON C-USA TEAM Offensive lineman Brandon Pearce and wide receiver Duke Calhoun were selected to the preseason All-Conference USA Team, as selected by the league coaches. Pearce is a return selection from 2007 and was part of a Tiger offensive line that led C-USA and ranked 10th nationally in sack denial. Calhoun, who was named to both the Coaches and Media All-C-USA teams in 2007, led the Tigers with 890 yards on 62 receptions. He enters the 2008 season with an active 24-game receiving streak. Both Pearce and Calhoun also received recognition during the summer on the Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook Preseason All-C-USA team.

Senior Brandon Pearce

Six of Memphis’ 12 games have been selected for television broadcasts, and others could be added during the season. The Tigers added the Louisville Cardinals to the schedule this season for the first time since 2004 and that game will be broadcast nationally by ESPN on Friday, Oct. 10, at the Liberty Bowl. Memphis will have three contests carried by CBS College Sports Network, including the C-USA home opener with Rice on Sept. 6. CBS College Sports has also arranged to air the Thursday, Oct. 2, game with UAB in Birmingham and the Oct. 25 game with Southern Miss in Memphis, which has been tabbed as the U of M’s Homecoming Game. CSS, which sublicensed games from CBS College Sports, will air the September 13 meeting between Memphis and Marshall in Huntington, W.Va., as well as the October 18 match-up between Memphis and East Carolina in Greenville, N.C.

ON THE

“B I G G U Y S ”

Now is the time for a plug for the unsung heroes of the Tiger offense - the “Big Guys.” The Tiger offensive line returns several seasoned linemen in 2008, including Brandon Pearce, Philip Beliles, Dominik Riley, Malcom Rawls and Terrence Echols. Pearce started all 13 games at right tackle, and Beliles started the entire season at center. Riley, Rawls and Echols each spent time starting at left guard, with Riley starting seven of the 13 games. The group will also have the services of seniors Michael Denning, Brent Todd and Cody Stubblefield, who all saw game action last year. In 2007, the Tiger offensive line finished the season ranked 10th nationally in sacks allowed, having given up just 14 during the season. Memphis has led C-USA in sack denial the last four-straight years. To the right is a chart detailing Memphis’ ranking nationally and in C-USA in sacks allowed. *Note: The NCAA did not rank sacks allowed until 2005.

WHAT’S IN

Junior transfer Arkelon Hall comes to Memphis from the College of the Sequoias.

# SACKS ALLOWED 14 14 9 5 14

NAME?

While the first question regarding the offense this season usually centers around who will be under center, the second question is often “How do you pronounce Arkelon?” It’s a name that is sure to be heard often over the public address system at the stadium this season, and for the record, it is pronounced Ar-KEY-lun. Arkelon Hall is vying for the starting QB job left vacant by Martin Hankins, who had a highly-successful senior season in 2007 with 3,220 yards and 25 touchdowns. Hall, a JUCO transfer from the College of the Sequoias, worked out with the Tigers in the spring and is considered a passing quarterback who also runs well. Hall is joined on the depth chart by senior Will Hudgens and junior Brett Toney. Hudgens missed the spring session while pitching for the Tiger baseball team, and was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in June. He left Memphis in mid-June for Billings, Mont., and is expected to return for football camp in August. Toney had a productive spring and lettered for the Tigers in 2007 as the holder for field goals and PATs.

PROTECT THE BALL The key to the ground game will be protecting the ball, which is one thing U of M running backs have been consistent with over the years. Last season, Tiger backs carried the ball 332 times and only put the ball on the ground twice. Of the four fumbles the Tigers gave up last season, only two were by backs. The 2007 Tigers finished the season tied for third nationally in fumbles lost. LSU and San Jose State led the nation in least fumbles lost with just three. Since 2004, Memphis backs have only accounted for eight total fumbles lost in over 1,400 carries.

Junior wide out Carlos Singleton has a 21-game receiving streak entering the 2008 season.

STREAKING TIGERS Junior receivers Duke Calhoun and Carlos Singleton both enter the 2008 season on receiving streaks of more than 20 games. Calhoun has caught a pass in each of the 24 career games he has played in, and is tied for ninth nationally with the active streak heading into the season. Singleton, who led Memphis in scoring by a non-kicker last season, boasts a 21game receiving streak. In 2007, Singleton logged 767 yards and 11 touchdowns on 51 receptions.

Junior running back Curtis Steele was named the Offensive MVP at the 2008 Blue-Gray Game.

GROWING THE GROUND GAME The Tigers head into 2008 with only one running back who has logged a carry in a Tiger uniform. Junior T.J. Pitts has played a reserve role the last two seasons and was second on the team in 2007 with 481 yards and one touchdown on 106 carries. He left the New Orleans Bowl with a broken ankle and was unable to practice with the team in the spring. Curtis Steele, who transferred from Northwest Mississippi CC and redshirted last fall, took most of the reps this spring. He was named the co-MVP of the spring scrimmage and is expected to push for the starting job in the fall. Jeremy Longstreet transitioned from linebacker to running back in the spring and could see action at either position this fall. The Tigers also added Charlie Jones, who was a starter at Miami and is eligible to play in 2008, as well as junior Greg Ray and freshman Brandon Ross, who both signed with Memphis last February.

Senior wide receiver Steven Black logged 42 receptions for 477 yards in 2007.

D EFENSE U NDER N EW M ANAGEMENT Tommy West brought back a familiar face to the Tiger defense when Tim Walton was hired as the defensive coordinator in January. Walton was the defensive backs coach at Memphis when West was the DC in 2000 and stayed along in the same capacity in 2001 when West took over as head coach. The 14-year coaching veteran left Memphis for Syracuse in 2002, and coached DBs at LSU during their BCS Championship run in 2003. Walton spent four years (2004-07) at Miami and was promoted to defensive coordinator for the Hurricanes in 2007.

* - Letters earned Junior safety Alton Starr had 58 tackles in 2007.

A SAFE BET The Tiger safeties will be under the watchful eye of Tim Walton, while Lytrel Pollard is charged with guiding the corners. Walton has several returning starters to work with this season, including senior Tony Bell and junior Alton Starr at strong safety, and senior Brandon Patterson at free safety. Patterson, who started all 13 games, is the leading returning tackler for the Tigers and was tied last season with LeRico Mathis with three interceptions. Starr made seven starts last season at corner and at strong safety, while Bell started the final six games of the season. Also in the mix are Malcolm Jones and Jermaine Richardson, as well as new signees Clay Lee and Mike Shepard.

TARGET PRACTICE There is no shortage of targets for Tiger QBs to pass to again this season. The receiving corps is one of the deepest and most talented groups on the squad with such veterans as seniors Maurice Jones, Steven Black, Earnest Williams and Carlos Robinzine and juniors Duke Calhoun and Carlos Singleton. All six receivers registered at least 200 yards receiving in 2007, with Calhoun leading the charge with 890 yards on 62 receptions. He averaged 74.2 yards per game and logged four 100-yard games last season. Singleton led the Tigers and tied for second alltime at Memphis with 11 touchdown receptions. He tallied 767 yards on 51 receptions for an average of 15 yards per catch. Jones led the way in yards-per-reception with his average of 17.3 yards on 37 catches. He logged 639 total yards receiving and scored two touchdowns. Black amassed 477 yards on 42 receptions, while Williams posted 33 catches for 368 yards and five TDs. Rounding out the group is Robinzine, who tallied 19 receptions for 224 yards and a score. The Tigers also have a receiving threat in senior tight end Brett Russell, who caught 22 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns last season.

DEFENSE

2008 OUTLOOK

Tiger receivers hold another distinction besides being stacked with talent. The group also stands out in a crowd as some of the tallest of the skill position players. Creating the most havoc for opposing DBs is Carlos Singleton who stands at 6-8. Add an extra couple of feet for his outstretched arms and you can clearly understand how he hauled in 11 TD passes and three two-point conversions last season. Maurice Jones, Duke Calhoun and JUCO transfer Steven Joachim all come in at 6-4, while Steven Black, Carlos Robinzine and incoming freshman Marcus Rucker are all listed at 6-3.

2008 OUTLOOK

HEALTHY LINEBACKERS ARE

MUST

The position that was hardest hit last season by injuries was linebacker. The Tiger defense lost the services of starters Greg Jackson and Winston Bowens early on and had to keep altering the lineup. The only linebacker to start all 13 games was senior Jake Kasser. Jackson will return in 2008 as a junior after missing all but two games in ’07. He injured his knee against Jacksonville State, and then was joined on the sidelines by Bowens following the Rice meeting in which he injured his knee as well. Both worked out with the team this spring and are challenging for a return to the starting lineup. Also adding depth at linebacker will be juniors Josh Weaver and Jeremy Rockette, seniors Tommy Phelps and Tyler Griffin, and sophomore Corderick Govan, who all saw game action last season. Weaver was poised to make the transition from d-line to linebacker this spring but suffered a shoulder injury and is hopeful for a return to the field by fall camp.

Sophomore Winston Bowens had 39 tackles in seven games in 2007.

HEAVY HITTERS

Junior cornerback Deante’ Lamar

GOT YOU CORNERED Throughout spring practice, junior Deante’ Lamar and sophomore Darius Davis were working the right corner, while senior Michael Grandberry and Curtis Echols worked the left side. None of the four have started a game in the secondary, but all bring speed and agility to the position. Grandberry and Echols share something in common as both started out as receivers and have made the transition to the other side of the ball. Echols made the switch this past spring, while Grandberry moved during the middle of the 2006 season. Junior college transfer D.A. Griffin was signed in the spring and is expected to add experience to the position this fall.

LINE

The defensive line returns a veteran group for 2008 and is led by senior Clinton McDonald, who was selected by his teammates as one of the U of M’s captains in ’07 as a junior. McDonald started all 13 games and registered a team-high four sacks and 9.5 TFL. McDonald is joined in the middle of the line by senior Freddie Barnett, who totaled 33 tackles, including 8.5 TFL for minus 29 yards. His most heralded play in 2007 was the 88-yard fumble return he made for a touchdown against Arkansas State. It was the longest fumble recovery in school history. Anchoring the outsides of the line are senior Corey Mills and junior Greg Terrell. Terrell started all 13 games and Mills made one start against Marshall. The line has plenty of depth this season, as junior Steven Turner, sophomore Tommy Walker, senior Brandon Douglas and junior Jada Brown all saw considerable action in 2007.

Senior Michael Grandberry is the school record holder in kickoff returns and yards.

Senior LeRico Mathis had three interceptions for the Tigers in 2007.

NICKEL AND DIMING YOU Senior LeRico Mathis and sophomore Bryan Wright have been working at nickel and will add another speed component to the defense. Mathis started the final nine games of the 2007 season at right corner. He ranked third on the squad in solo tackles with 41 and tied Brandon Patterson with three interceptions.

GRANDBERRY IS KEY RETURN THREAT Michael Grandberry started returning kickoffs full time in 2006, and through 34 career games (only 22 of which include at least one KO return), holds the school record with 1,826 yards on 81 returns. He also holds the Tiger record for 100-yard KO return games with eight. Grandberry is only the fourth Tiger in school history to hit the 1,000-yard milestone for kickoff returns.

6-0

Senior defensive lineman Clinton McDonald had a team high four sacks last season.

KICKING IT A bulk of the special teams unit remains intact in 2008 as kicker Matt Reagan returns for his junior season and senior Brent Sutherland returns at punter. They will be joined again by deep snapper Keenan Bratcher and holder Brett Toney on the field. Reagan led the Tigers in scoring last year with 80 points and was twice named the C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week. He was 35-of-38 on PATs and hit 15 of his 22 field goal attempts. Sutherland averaged 40.7 yards on his 52 punts and dropped 12 inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. Bratcher, who was one of just four true freshmen to play last season, was named to both the C-USA Coaches and Media All-Freshman teams in 2007.

Junior kicker Matt Reagan led the team in scoring last year.

20 COACHING STAFF

Tommy West came to Memphis in 2000 as the defensive coordinator and a year later became the Tigers’ 21st head football coach. In just seven seasons at the helm of the program, West has guided the U of M to four bowl game appearances in the last five years and is one of just two coaches in Tiger football history to win seven or more games a season in three-plus years. West led his 2007 Tigers through various adversities which included a rare weather postponement of the Arkansas State game which forced Memphis to play three games in 11 days; injuries to key starters on defense, particularly at linebacker; and the tragic death of a teammate that occurred just 48 hours before Memphis was to face Marshall at home on ESPN2 for a Tuesday night C-USA match-up. And while the Tigers opened the year with a 1-3 record, it’s the way that the team closed out the campaign that is sure to be remembered by most. Memphis began its climb to bowl eligibility with the emotionally-charged victory over Marshall, which proved West’s squad would continue to fight despite the circumstances. The Tigers won six out of their last eight games en route to a bid to the 2007 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Among the victories were league wins over Rice, Tulane, Southern Miss, UAB and SMU. Memphis defeated Southern Miss in Hattiesburg for the second-straight time, which was a first for the program, and the Tigers snapped a seven-game series losing streak with the win over UAB. The

five-game turnaround from the previous season ranked the Tigers as the fourth-most improved team in the nation for 2007. West led his 2007 squad to a 7-5 regular-season record and a 6-2 record in Conference USA, and the Tigers entered the New Orleans Bowl on a three-game winning streak. The six victories in Conference USA action were the most ever for a Tiger team since Memphis began playing in the league in 1996. In addition, the Tigers won all three of their games against C-USA West Division foes and finished the season tied for second in the East Division with East Carolina. Five players were selected to the All-Conference USA Team, including offensive lineman Andy Smith, linebacker Jake Kasser and receiver Duke Calhoun. Additionally, offensive lineman Dominik Riley and deep snapper Keenan Bratcher were named to the league’s All-Freshman Team. The Dean of Conference USA football coaches, West enters the 2008 season with a 41-44 record at Memphis and is one of just four coaches in school history to secure four winning seasons while guiding a Tiger program for at least five seasons. West has led Memphis to four winning seasons in seven years and joins only Billy J. Murphy (1958-71) in having had seven wins in at least four seasons. Murphy had seven or more wins in six of his 14 seasons. West ranks third all-time in winning percentage among Tiger leaders who have coached at least 60 games, and his squads have averaged eight wins a season in four of the last five years. The Tiger offense paced the squad in 2007 and finished the season ranked in the top 25 nationally in several categories. Memphis ranked 13th in passing offense, 23rd in total offense, third in fumbles lost and 10th in sack denial. The Tiger defense also ranked 28th nationally in fumbles recovered and 39th in turnovers gained. Injuries plagued the Tigers in 2006 and after opening the season with a 1-3 record, West took over the defense. While the defensive change proved more complicated than anticipated, there was a marked improvement in the squad

by year’s end. This was evident in the latter weeks of the season when Memphis narrowly lost to UCF, 26-24, and then a week later stunned eventual league champion Houston with a solid effort, forcing the Cougars into overtime and ultimately losing by a field goal. By the last game of the season, the Tigers were confident and handed UTEP a 38-19 loss at the Sun Bowl on its Senior Day. Following the 2006 season, the Tigers landed six players on the All-C-USA Team, and kicker Matt Reagan, receiver Duke Calhoun and defensive lineman Greg Terrell were named to the league’s All-Freshman Team. And, as in 2005, four Tigers were invited to participate in senior post-season games, bringing the total to 15 participants since 2001. West, who came to Memphis after serving as head coach at Clemson for five seasons, has led the Tigers to a 33-29 record the last five years and guided the U of M to three-consecutive bowl appearances (2003-05) for the first time in school history. His 41 career victories at Memphis ranks fourth all-time in the Tiger record book. The Gainesville, Ga., native helped snap a 32-year U of M bowl drought in 2003 when he led his squad to a 9-4 record, which included a victory over North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl. The last time that the U of M had been extended a bowl invitation was during the 1971 season when Memphis defeated San Jose State in the Pasadena Bowl. The 2003 season was viewed by many as “magical,” and the bowl victory propelled Memphis into the spotlight and gave the Tiger faithful a renewed spirit and heightened expectations. West became just the fourth coach in school history to claim nine wins in a single season, and for his efforts, he was named the Coach of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association. West and his Tigers embarked on the 2004 season knowing the bar had been raised and, with a veteran quarterback and an All-American running back, expectations were going to remain high. The Tigers opened the 2004 campaign with a 5-1 record, marking the best start for a Memphis squad since 1967. During that time, West led

WEST VS. ALL OPPONENTS

the Tigers into the national spotlight as Memphis defeated Ole Miss for the second-straight season and was listed No. 25 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. It was the first time ever that the Tigers were ranked by the national entity. Memphis also gained national attention as four of its last five games of the season were broadcast nationally by ESPN, including a Thursday night meeting with Louisville which was a battle to the end for both squads. A week after the Louisville game, the Tigers reached

of which were placed on the first-team squad. Williams was also named to several prestigious All-America teams and was a finalist for the 2005 Doak Walker Award. In addition, four Tiger seniors participated in post-season all-star games, which is another tribute to West and his staff. Both Gostkowski and Williams were invited to play in the 2006 Senior Bowl, while Tim Goodwell participated in the All-American Classic and Maurice Avery competed in the Hula Bowl. In the seven years since West has been the U of M head coach, 55 Tigers have been placed on the All-Conference USA Team, including Williams who was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Year for three-straight years. Also with West at the helm, nine Tigers have been drafted to play in the NFL, including Williams and Gostkowski in 2006 and defensive back Brandon McDonald in 2007. Williams was selected in the first round, while Gostkowski, a fourth-round pick, was the first kicker drafted in 2006. McDonald, who transferred to Memphis and started two years in the Tiger secondary, was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. A by-product of the national attention and newly-generated excitement has been a continued upswing in recruiting at the U of M. West and his staff continue to land more outstanding recruits from the Mid-South area, as well as some of the top prospects in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana. A renowned national recruiter, West’s 2002, 2003 and 2004 classes were ranked among the top 50 in the country, while his 2005, 2004 and 2002 classes were touted as the No. 1 group in Conference USA. West and his staff also continue to tap into the local talent, and in the last four seasons, have signed over 40 players from the Mid-South area. Heading into the 2008 season, West boasts 44 Tigers on the squad from Tennessee and an additional 13 players from Mississippi. This is remarkable considering that in 2001 when West took over as head coach, there were only three players on the roster from the state of Mississippi. The number gradually increased and by 2003, Mississippi was represented by 11 Tigers. The surrounding area has proved to be a hotbed for talent, and West and his staff make a steady charge each year to keep local standouts in Memphis. West also continues to stress academics to his squad, and his Tigers have responded with some of the highest grade-point averages that the program has ever seen. In the spring 2003 semester, the football team placed a record number of student-athletes on the Tiger 3.0 Club, and the squad turned in the highest cumulative GPA ever with a 2.6. For the spring 2006 semester, the Tigers announced the most 3.0 students ever with 32, and for the 2005-06 school year, 62 Tigers had earned a 3.0 or higher. In the last three commencement ceremonies, 21 football players graduated marking the largest group under West. In addition, in 11 of the last 12 semesters, which include the last six straight semesters, football has posted a 2.3 or higher team GPA. That is quite significant as from 19842002, football posted a 2.3 GPA in only two total semesters. From the August 2002 ceremony to the May 2008 ceremony, 105 total football players have graduated from the University.

another milestone for the program as the U of M became bowl eligible with a win over Southern Miss. Memphis notched wins over East Carolina and USF on the road before ending the regular season at 8-3. The eight wins marked the first time since the 1962 and 1963 seasons that Memphis had won eight or more games in back-to-back seasons, while the consecutive bowl appearances were also a first in the program’s history. West took his Tigers to Mobile, Ala., for the GMAC Bowl and dropped a hard-fought decision to Bowling Green. West has also generated major excitement in the city of Memphis for his Tigers. That was evident in 2004 when, despite the games being nationally-televised by ESPN, nearly 100,000 total fans turned out for the final two home games of the season. The 52,384 fans that witnessed Memphis drop a hard-fought 56-49 decision to then-14th ranked Louisville on ESPN, and the 47,163 fans who watched Memphis become bowl eligible with a 30-26 win over Southern Miss on ESPN2 helped the Tigers set an attendance record at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Memphis averaged 41,175 fans in its five home games, and the Louisville game marked the largest crowd to attend a Memphis game versus a non-Southeastern Conference opponent. The 2005 season started early with a press conference in January that led to the announcement that star running back DeAngelo Williams would return for his senior season. The cheers were deafening as coaches, administrators and fans celebrated Williams’ decision to remain a Tiger for 2005. With that announcement came a Heisman Trophy campaign for Williams. The squad began practice in August and within weeks suffered what would become one of many injuries that would try to put a damper on the season. Memphis lost leading receiver Mario Pratcher just prior to the start of the season to a knee injury. Later, the Tigers lost starting quarterbacks Patrick Byrne and Will Hudgens, as well as defensive lineman Rubio Phillips in the first three games of the season. By season’s end, Memphis had lost eight starters or potential starters, but was still fighting for a third bowl appearance behind the signal calling of senior “receiver-turned-quarterback” Maurice Avery. Avery became the fourth starting quarterback for the Tigers in the Houston game, and led Memphis to a 5-2 record and a Motor City Bowl victory after moving under center. The 2005 Tigers had every excuse in the book to quit and hope for a better 2006, but West and his coaching staff did a tremendous job of pulling the team together. That determination paid off as Memphis finished with a winning record and a bowl invitation for the third-consecutive season. Of the 117 Division I-A football programs, only 29 were playing in their third-straight bowl game in 2005, and because of West, the Tigers were proud to say they were one of them. Memphis also celebrated its first span of three-consecutive winning seasons since 1992-94, and averaged eight wins over the three-year period. Several Tigers received post-season honors in 2005, including Williams, who was named the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, and kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who was selected as the league’s Special Teams Player of the Year. Eight Tigers were selected to the All-C-USA teams, five

22 COACHING STAFF

The 2006 season was a special one for Coach Tommy West as he was joined by his father, Jim, and his son, Turner, at each home game.

West was hired at Memphis in 1999 under Rip Scherer to serve as the defensive coordinator. Soon after the season opener against Mississippi State, West had his defense ranked in the top five nationally. The squad ranked as high as second in the nation during the year and finished the year ranked fifth nationally in total defense and No. 1 in rushing defense. That season, Memphis limited nine of its 11 opponents to less than 100 yards rushing and no team gained more than 125 yards against the Tigers in 2000. Also that year, the Tigers had five players named to the All-Conference USA first team defensive unit, which tied the C-USA record for the most players from one school ever named to a first team. Nose tackle Marcus Bell, defensive end Andre Arnold, linebacker Kamal Shakir, safety Idrees Bashir and corner Michael Stone all received first team All-C-USA honors in 2000. Linebacker Coot Terry and corner Jason Brown were also named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team defensive unit. When the Tigers were in need of a new coach to guide the program, Athletic Director R.C. Johnson had to look no further than in the U of M football office. West was proven as a head coach at Clemson and was also a favorite of the players. He took over the program shortly after the 2000 season came to a close and set out to build a nationally-recognized program that would consistently win and play in bowl games. The Tigers struggled in 2001 and 2002 as would be expected for a program that had not seen a winning season since 1994. But West was a relentless recruiter and managed to build a quality staff, which led to one of the biggest turnarounds nationally. The Tigers turned in a 3-9 record in 2002, and just one year later, managed a 9-4 record and a bowl victory in 2003. West, 54, joined the U of M staff after an extensive coaching career at Clemson University, where he had been an assistant coach from 1982-89 and the head coach from 1993-98. Following his start in the coaching profession when he served a season at Ole Miss (1979) and two seasons at Appalachian State (1980-81), West served as an assistant coach at Clemson and was responsible for the outside linebackers. He was part of a coaching staff that led the Tigers

to a 69-20-4 record and six Associated Press Top 20 rankings between 1982-89. During that time, Clemson played in five bowl games, winning four, and claimed four ACC Championships. West left Clemson for his alma mater Tennessee in 1990 and spent one season as the Vols’ running back coach. UT ended that season with a 9-2-2 record and defeated Virginia in the Sugar Bowl. West then traveled to the University of South Carolina, where he was the defensive coordinator in 1991 and 1992. Following his two seasons at USC, West accepted his first head coaching job at UT-Chat-

tanooga. The Mocs were 4-7 in 1993, and shortly after their season ended, West was enticed to return to Clemson and coach the Tigers in the 2003 Peach Bowl. West was hired on November 29, 1993, and led the Tigers to a 14-13 victory over Kentucky in the Peach Bowl. With his debut in the Peach Bowl, West became the sixth coach in NCAA history to make his debut with a program in a bowl game. However, at that time, he was just the second coach in collegiate football history to make his debut in a bowl game without previously coaching his new team as an assistant coach earlier in the season. During his tenure at Clemson, West recruited the school’s all-time leading rusher, Raymond Priester; the school’s all-time leading passer, Nealon Greene; and the school’s all-time leading receiver, Rod Gardner. In addition to the offensive talent he landed for the Tigers, West had two linebackers named to All-America teams and both were drafted in the NFL. Anthony Simmons was named an AllAmerican in 1996 and 1997 and was selected by the Seattle Seahawks. Keith Adams was drafted by the Tennessee Titans after enjoying All-America status in 1999 and 2000, and Gardner was a first-round selection by the Washington Redskins. Not only did West’s recruits excel on the field, they also excelled in the classroom. Over the last two years of his tenure (1998-99 and 1999-2000), Clemson’s football teams had a graduation rate of 75 percent, which ranked the school among the nation’s leaders in the classroom. West took Clemson to the Gator Bowl in 1995 and the Peach Bowl in both 1996 and 1997. At the time, only 16 programs in the nation could claim to have appeared in three-consecutive

WEST’S HEAD COACHING MARKS

bowl games. West also became just the second coach in Clemson history to take the Tigers to three-straight bowl games. He tallied a 31-28 record with the Tigers, before traveling to Memphis to take on another group of Tigers. As a player, West earned three letters in his four-year career at the University of Tennessee (1972-75). The Vols played in three bowl games and were ranked in a final Top 20 poll over the same three-year span. He was co-captain of Tennessee’s 1975 football team and played in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game that same year. He began his college career as a running back, but saw most of his playing time as a tight end. He caught 37 passes for 575 yards in his UT career, including 16 passes for 233 yards as a senior. As a junior, he caught an 81-yard pass from Condredge Hollaway, still the longest nonscoring play in Tennessee football history. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee in 1976 and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that same year. West also played two seasons of baseball for the Volunteers (1974-1975) and had a career batting average of .305. He hit .367 in 1975 and was named All-Southeastern Conference Eastern Division. West began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Tennessee in 1977. He left the Volunteers and coached one year of high school football at White County High in Sparta, Tenn., in 1978 before being hired as an assistant coach at Ole Miss in 1979. West was a multi-sport standout at Gainesville High School in Gainesville, Ga. He was an outfielder in baseball, a guard in basketball and a running back in football. In 1972, he was named a high school All-American in football and was a second round draft choice in baseball by the Chicago Cubs organization. Willie Randolph, who went on to an All-Star career with the New York Yankees, was one of the 77 future Major League players drafted after West in the regular phase of the June 1972 draft. Born Thomas Cleveland West on July 31, 1954, in Carrollton, Ga., he is married to the former Lindsay Watkins of Forest City, N.C. The couple has one son, Turner, who is a sophomore receiver on the Tiger football team.

Assistant head coach Clay Helton recently completed his eighth season with the Tigers. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in January 2007 and took over the quarterbacks in his new role. In the press conference to announce Helton as the Tigers’ new offensive coordinator, West said that he expected the offense to become the most exciting and productive offense in the country. He also touted Helton for his tireless work ethic and dedication. Helton responded to West’s challenge and the Tiger offense closed out the season ranked 23rd nationally in total offense and 13th nationally in passing offense. The Tigers had only finished the season in the top 25 once in passing offense since 1999 as the 2004 squad piloted by Danny Wimprine was No. 25. Memphis’ 2007 ranking in total offense was a vast improvement over the previous season in which the Tigers ranked 64th, and marked the third time since 1999 that the U of M has been in the top 25 in that category. Under Helton’s guidance, quarterback Martin Hankins finished his two-year career ranked second in most career passing categories, and set single-season records during the 2007 campaign in completions (261), yards (3,220) and touchdowns (25). Hankins set a school record with 416 yards against East Carolina and passed for over 300 yards in eight career games. Junior Will Hudgens powered the Tigers to an emotional victory over Marshall, passing for 346 yards and two touchdowns, and finished the season having completed 50 percent of his passes and tossing five touchdowns. In addition, redshirt freshman quarterback Matt Malouf made great strides, rushing for three touchdowns and passing for two scores. Helton will again have his work cut out for him in 2008 as he must find a replacement for Hankins, who had a stellar two years with the Tigers. The competition should remain stout heading into the fall as Helton looks for either Hudgens or junior college transfer Arkelon Hall to emerge as a candidate for the

starting job. Both are capable signal callers who will have a deep receiving corps to work with. Prior to his promotion to offensive coordinator, Helton spent four seasons (2003-06) with the Tiger receivers. Helton certainly had his challenges along the way, and the 2005 and 2006 seasons were no exception. Both campaigns saw various injuries and personnel changes that left Helton with a younger, inexperienced group to work with. Despite the influx, Helton guided two Tiger receivers to All-C-USA Freshman honors as Maurice Jones received the honor in 2005 and Duke Calhoun was honored by the league in 2006. In 2006, Tiger receivers accounted for 21 of Memphis’ 33 touchdowns and averaged 225 yards per game. Ryan Scott wrapped up his career ranked fourth all-time in receptions with 114 and seventh in receiving yards with 1,527. A year after taking over the receivers, Helton’s 2004 Tiger wideouts accounted for 25 touchdowns and 3,086 yards receiving, and were part of an offensive unit that ranked second in Conference USA in total offense. The Tiger offense also ranked second in the league in scoring and ninth nationally in total offense. In 2003, Helton inherited a depleted receiving corps and coached the group to one of its better seasons in years. Known for his teaching abilities, Helton’s receivers responded by setting school marks for receptions (260) and yardage (3,419) in 2003. Helton’s career at Memphis began in 2000 as the running backs coach. In his first three seasons, he played a huge role in the development of several young Tiger running backs, including Jeff “Sugar” Sanders, junior college transfer Dante Brown and eventual Heisman Trophy candidate DeAngelo Williams. Sanders was a regular in the Tiger lineup in 2000, and Brown rushed for the fourth-highest single-season total in school history (902 yards) during 2001 and set a Memphis record for rushing touchdowns in a game with four against Helton’s alma mater, Houston. In 2002, Helton helped Williams lead the nation in average yards per carry for four weeks of that season. Williams was second in the nation in average yards per carry after 11 weeks and finished the season tied for fifth in the country with 6.6 yards per carry. He later went on to set nearly every U of M rushing, scoring and all-purpose yard record and was selected in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft. Helton coached at Houston from 1997-99 under his father, Kim Helton, before arriving on the U of M campus. While at UH, he directed the Cougar running backs for three seasons, and was responsible in 1997 for the development of All-C-USA performer Ketric Sanford. Sanford

combined with Vaughn Innis to rush for over 1,200 yards, and in 1998, placed second among all C-USA backs in all-purpose yards with 1,530. A native of Sugarland, Texas, Helton played quarterback for Houston in 1993 and 1994, after transferring from Auburn University. While playing for the Auburn Tigers in 1991, Helton received SEC All-Academic honors. He was voted one of Houston’s team captains in 1994. Following graduation from Houston, Helton entered the coaching profession as a member of Fred Goldsmith’s staff at Duke University. He worked as a graduate assistant for Duke in 1995 and was hired as the Blue Devils’ running backs coach in 1996. While in Durham, N.C., Helton helped to develop a Duke running game that featured Laymarr Marshall, who tallied 13 touchdowns for the second-highest single-season total in school history. Helton, 36, earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics and interdisciplinary science from Houston in 1994. He and his wife, Angela, have three children: sons, Reid and Turner, and daughter, Aubrey. Helton’s father, Kim, and his brother, Tyson, both are on the coaching staff at UAB.

Hinshaw joined the U of M staff after serving one season as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Georgia Southern under former head coach Brian VanGorder. In 2006, Georgia Southern ranked 27th nationally in total offense, averaging 359.9 yards per game. Prior to his Georgia Southern stint, Hinshaw worked at Middle Tennessee State for five seasons. He was the running backs coach his first two seasons, and was elevated to co-offensive coordinator in February of 2003. Under Hinshaw’s guidance, the MTSU offense consistently led the Sun Belt Conference (SBC) and ranked nationally throughout the years. In 2001, the Blue Raiders had two of the top five rushers in the SBC, along with the top overall rushing attack. Record-breaker Dwone Hicks, who rushed for over 1,000 yards, finished the year as the nation’s second-leading scorer. A year later, MTSU had the nation’s No. 21 ranked rushing offense, a 1,000yard rusher and two of the top eight ground gainers in the Sun Belt Conference. In 2003, the Blue Raider offense went down as the highest scoring unit in the Sun Belt Conference at 27.7 points a contest, including four games of 35 points or more. The unit ranked 37th nationally in passing efficiency and had the fifth-ranked receiver in the country. In 2004, MTSU led the Sun Belt and ranked 15th nationally in passing, while ranking 31st in the country in passing efficiency. Hinshaw, 36, made his way to Middle Tennessee after serving on Mike Kruczek’s staff at UCF from 1999 to 2000. A recordsetting quarterback during his playing days for the Knights, Hinshaw spent the 1999 campaign as a graduate assistant with the responsibility of coaching tight ends and assisting the head coach with the quarterbacks. In 2000, Hinshaw took over the quarterback coaching duties — the first time someone other than Kruczek guided the quarterbacks since 1985. In that first season, Ryan Schneider threw for 2,334 yards and 21 touchdowns and completed 62 percent of his passes. As a player, Hinshaw set numerous school records for the Knights, including the career passing mark with 9,000 yards. During his time under center, UCF had a

combined 28-16 record, including a 9-3 mark and an appearance in the I-AA playoffs in 1993. Following his playing days at UCF, Hinshaw began a career in professional football. After a brief stint with the Cleveland Browns, Hinshaw spent two years with the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League, helping the Preds to the Arena Bowl, where they lost to the Tampa Bay Storm in 1995. In 1996, Hinshaw played quarterback and was the offensive coordinator for the Granite State Warriors of the Eastern Football League, which was made up of teams from New York and New England. Hinshaw inherited a team that went 2-8 in 1995 and led it to a 14-2 record and a trip to the national championship game. Following a year in the EFL, Hinshaw went back to the Arena League to play for the Nashville Kats. After a short stay in Nashville, Hinshaw entered the college coaching ranks at UCF. A 1993 graduate of UCF, Hinshaw was named in 2004 to UCF’s 25th Anniversary Team. He earned his master’s in business administration from UCF in 1996. He and his wife, Pam, have three daughters: Sydney, Hayley, and Carley; and a son, Darin Jr.

Darin Hinshaw enters his second season responsible for the Tiger receiving corps. A former UCF standout, Hinshaw was hired in March 2007. Hinshaw inherited a deep stable of receivers who showed great poise and maturity while leading the Tiger offense in 2007. Tiger receivers accounted for 27 of the team’s 33 offensive touchdowns last season. In six of the last seven games of the season, Memphis produced a 100-yard receiver and in two contests had multiple 100-yard receivers. Duke Calhoun was named to the C-USA Coaches and Media second team while Maurice Jones, Earnest Williams and Carlos Singleton received honorable mention accolades. Calhoun led the Tigers in receiving with 890 yards and five touchdowns on 62 receptions while Carlos Singleton led the team in scoring with 11 touchdowns and three two-point conversions. In total, five wideouts logged 350 or more receiving yards, and this highly-talented group was key to Memphis ranking 13th nationally in passing offense and 23rd nationally in total offense. While the receivers will have to adjust to a new quarterback in 2008, Hinshaw’s group will no doubt provide stability for the Tiger offense again this season. All seven of the squad’s top receivers return in 2008, including Calhoun, Singleton, Jones, Williams, Steven Black, Carlton Robinzine and tight end Brett Russell.

Rick Mallory, one of the veterans of the Tiger coaching staff, is entering his ninth season as the Tigers’ offensive line coach. Well-known for his teaching style, Mallory’s offensive line is consistently strong and disciplined each season. In each of the last four years, Memphis has led Conference USA in sacks denial, while averaging just nine sacks a season over that period. In 2004, the Tigers gave up just five total sacks. In the last two seasons, four Tiger linemen have landed on All-Conference USA teams. In 2006, Blake Butler earned honors on both the CUSA Media and Coaches teams, while sophomore Brandon Pearce was a third-team pick on the AllC-USA Coaches Team. A year later, Andy Smith was selected as a first-team pick on the C-USA Coaches Team and a second-team honoree on the Media Team. In addition, Dominik Riley was named to the 2007 C-USA All-Freshman Team and was an honorable mention Freshman All-American by The Sporting News. In addition to allowing just 14 sacks in 13 games in 2007, which ranked 10th nationally, the offensive line is credited with paving the way for the Tigers to rank 23rd nationally in total offense and 13th in passing offense. Quarterback Martin Hankins threw for over 3,200 yards and tossed 25 touchdown passes behind the protection of Mallory’s group. The Tiger O-line remains mostly intact for the 2008 season as the group loses Smith and Abraham Holloway, who both started all 13 games for the U of M. Returning starters in the line include Riley and Pearce as well as Philip Beliles, Terrence Echols and Malcom Rawls. Beliles, who started all 13 games at center in 2007, is a member of the Rimington Trophy watch list. Mallory’s line received much recognition during tailback DeAngelo Williams’ storied run through the record books. In 2005, the Tigers ranked fifth

nationally in rushing offense much to the credit of the offensive front. Starting guard Andrew Handy was named first team All-Conference USA, and Pearce was selected to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Memphis also finished the season ranked sixth in C-USA in total offense. The Tigers led Conference USA in 2004 for its impressive sack denial and was part of an offense that ranked ninth nationally in total offense. Memphis was also second in C-USA in scoring, third in passing and second in rushing – clearly a by-product of a veteran offensive line. In 2003 and 2004, veteran center Gene Frederic was a candidate for the Rimington Trophy. He was also named to the All-Conference USA first team in 2004, while tackle Jeremy Rone was selected to the league’s second team. In 2003, the Tiger line allowed just 12 sacks, and went three-straight games without quarterback Danny Wimprine being dropped for a loss. Blake Butler, who had been a consistent starter for the Tigers, was a C-USA All-Freshman Team pick in 2003. Frederic and Rone were also third team AllC-USA picks in 2003. Mallory is also credited with guiding the development of former Tiger starter Wade Smith. Mallory helped Smith make the move from tight end to an offensive tackle slot, and Smith responded by rapidly moving into a starter’s position. In April of 2002, Smith was a third round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins. A native of Renton, Wash., Mallory joined the Memphis staff in May of 2000, and remained as a member of the coaching staff when Tommy West was elevated to head coach in 2001. He had previously spent five seasons at the University of Washington, where he worked with four players (Mark Bruener, Ernie Conwell, Cameron Cleeland, Jeremy Brigham) that were selected in the NFL Draft. Mallory, who was a graduate assistant coach responsible for tackles, tight ends and the kicking game in 1992 and 1993, took over as a full-time coach for the Huskies midway through the 1993 season when Myles Corrigan was sidelined due to a heart condition. Working with the tight ends, Mallory was fortunate to have Mark Bruener leading his position for a year-and-a-half. Bruener became the Huskies’ all-time leader in receptions by a tight end, was named first-team All-Pac 10 twice and was selected in the first round of the 1995 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a rookie, Bruener started in the 1996 Super Bowl.

In 1996, Mallory had Ernie Conwell take over as the starting tight end, and he went on to receive first team All-Pac 10 honors. Conwell was taken by the St. Louis Rams in the second round of the draft. In 1997, a Mallory-coached tight end claimed All-Pac 10 honors for the third-consecutive season. Cameron Cleeland picked up all-league honors and was later chosen by the New Orleans Saints in the NFL Draft. The Huskies’ second tight end, Jeremy Brigham, was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round. Mallory was a tight end himself at Washington as a freshman and sophomore, before moving to offensive guard prior to his junior year (1982). A three-year letterman, he went on to earn All-Pac 10 honors and All-Coast honors as a senior in 1983 when he served as team captain. In the 1984 NFL Draft, he was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a ninth round pick and went on to play five seasons in the NFL. Mallory, 47, earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from Washington in 1983. He and his wife, Shannon, have three sons: Ryan, Adam and Cameron, and two daughters, Naomi (5) and Fiona (2). Adam and his wife, Lindsey, have a oneyear-old daughter, Delaney.

No stranger to big-time football, Joseph played five seasons in the NFL in the mid-1990s following a standout career at Auburn University from 1986-90. At Auburn, Joseph holds the distinction of being the only Tiger player in school history to participate in five Auburn-Tennessee football games. He played as a true freshman in 1986 and was injured in the third game of the following season against Tennessee in 1987. He was granted a medical redshirt and regained his sophomore season for 1988. Joseph helped lead Auburn to three-consecutive Southeastern Conference championships (1988-90) and still ranks ninth in school history in rushing yards with 2,264 yards on 452 carries. He also scored 16 career touchdowns for the Tigers. Auburn participated in five bowls games during his career: Citrus (1986), Sugar (1987 and 1988), Hall of Fame (1989) and Peach (1990). In 1991, Joseph was selected in the seventh round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. As a rookie, he tallied 440 yards on 135 carries. Joseph played four seasons for the Eagles and one season with the Cincinnati Bengals, amassing 823 yards and three touchdowns on 250 carries. Upon completing his NFL career, Joseph returned to school and began his coaching career. In 1996, Joseph began working as an assistant football coach at Auburn High School. He worked there

through the 2003 season before accepting his first collegiate coaching post at Troy. Joseph, 40, earned his bachelor’s degree in human development from Auburn in 1997. He has three children: Jonathan, Jeremy and Jamey.

COACHING STAFF 27

James Joseph is entering his second season working with the Tiger running backs. A former Auburn standout, Joseph was hired in February 2007 to lead the ground game. In 2007, Tiger backs accounted for 11 touchdowns, led by senior Joseph Doss’ five scores. Doss tallied 806 yards on 174 attempts and registered two 100-yard games last season. Of the 332 total carries by Tiger backs, only two resulted in fumbles as Memphis ranked tied for third nationally in fumbles lost. Joseph will have a relatively young group to work with this fall. Junior college transfer Curtis Steele, who redshirted in 2007, and junior T.J. Pitts are the veterans of the group. Steele had a productive spring and was named the co-MVP of the Blue-Gray Game. Pitts was unable to work out with the squad this spring as he was continuing rehabilitation on his ankle, which he broke in the New Orleans Bowl. Pitts was second on the squad in 2007 with 481 yards and one touchdown on 106 carries. Also in the mix this fall could be Jeremy Longstreet who made the transition to running back from linebacker in the spring. The Tigers also added newcomers Charlie Jones, Greg Ray and Brandon Ross to the depth chart. Jones is a senior back who transferred from the University of Miami and is eligible in 2008. Ray is a JUCO standout from El Camino Community College and Ross signed with the Tigers from Auburn High School. Prior to joining the U of M staff, Joseph spent three seasons (2004-06) in the same capacity at Troy University. The Trojans captured their first-ever Sun Belt Conference title in 2006, and defeated Rice in the 2006 R + L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

Tim Walton, who was an assistant coach on the U of M defensive staff in 2000-01, was hired in January 2008 to serve as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator. In this capacity, he also will focus heavily on the efforts of the safeties. In the press conference to announce Walton’s hiring, coach Tommy West spoke of his excitement to again work with Walton. West explained that he is confident that Walton can “bring the swagger back to the Memphis defense.” Walton, 37, spent the last four seasons (200407) with the Miami Hurricanes and was promoted to defensive coordinator in February of 2007. The squad ranked 33rd nationally in total defense last season. In his first three seasons at Miami, he directed the defensive backs, and the Miami secondary ranked in the top 10 nationally in pass defense in 2004 (9th) and 2005 (1st). In 2005, Walton’s pass defense led the nation, allowing only 152.17 yards per game. He tutored two All-Americans: safety Brandon Meriweather and cornerback Kelly Jennings; and developed Kenny Phillips into a Freshman All-American. Jennings was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round, and the other starter in the 2005 secondary, cornerback Marcus Maxey, was drafted in the fifth round by Kansas City. In addition, Devin Hester went to Chicago in the second round. Phillips was selected in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft. In 2004, Walton coached a secondary unit that ranked ninth in the country. He guided Antrel Rolle, who was named consensus All-American and was selected in the first round of the NFL draft by the

Arizona Cardinals. A 14-year coaching veteran, Walton was at LSU in 2003 and his defensive backs were a key factor in the Tigers earning the 2003 BCS National Championship and a Southeastern Conference title. The LSU defense ranked among the nation’s top three in four of five major defensive statistical categories: total defense (first, 252.0 yards per game), scoring defense (first, 11.0 ppg), pass efficiency defense (second, 89.8 rating) and rushing defense (third, 67.0 yards per game). Additionally, LSU ranked 18th nationally in passing yardage defense (185.0 ypg) while leading the SEC in four of the five defensive categories, including a No. 2 ranking in the league in pass defense. A native of Columbus, Ga., Walton previously coached defensive backs while West was defensive coordinator at Memphis in 2000 and remained in the same capacity when West was promoted to head coach for 2001. In his first year with Memphis, the Tigers ranked fifth in the nation in total defense, allowing only 275 yards per game and placed in the top 15 nationally in passing and scoring defense. He also coached two first-team All-Conference USA selections in Idrees Bashir and Michael Stone. Bashir was selected as the 37th overall pick of the 2001 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts, while Stone was taken later in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals. Walton left Memphis to coach defensive backs at Syracuse for the 2002 season. During his career, Walton has coached five first-round draft picks and eight players who were selected in later rounds.

Walton started his coaching career as a defensive graduate assistant at Bowling Green in 1995. He was promoted to running backs coach in 1996 and then moved to coach the defensive backs in 1999. In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Walton has had two summer internships with NFL teams. He spent the summer of 1998 serving as a defensive intern with the Chicago Bears and the summer of 2001 as a defensive intern for the Green Bay Packers. Walton lettered as a defensive back at Ohio State for four seasons and served as co-captain for the Big Ten champions in 1993. During his time with the Buckeyes, OSU went to four bowl games, including the Liberty Bowl in 1990. He earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology from OSU in 1994. Walton and his wife, Tracy, have three children: Trei, Timia and Tyler.

Brent Pry, who was hired just before spring practice last season, is entering his second season as the Tigers’ defensive line coach. An enthusiastic and aggressive leader, Pry has been instrumental in developing a defensive line that is bigger, stronger and more physical than in seasons past. The group was led in 2007 by Clinton McDonald, who as a junior, was selected by his teammates as a permanent captain for his leadership qualities. McDonald was fifth on the team in tackles with 55 and led the squad in TFL and sacks. Greg Terrell, Freddie Barnett, Josh Weaver, Corey Mills, Steven Turner and Jada Brown all combined for 31 TFL and 177 total tackles. Pry’s entire group of linemen return in 2008 and should benefit from a full year of working together. Pry, 38, joined the U of M staff after working five years at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, where he served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. He coached the Ragin’ Cajuns’ linebackers for five years and was promoted to assistant head coach in 2004. UL-Lafayette had its first winning record since 1995 when the Ragin’ Cajuns ended the 2005 season with a 6-5 record and a Sun Belt Conference title. In 2005, ULL closed out the season with a five-game winning streak. During that time, the defense allowed just 18 points per game. In 2004, the Cajuns allowed just 174.5 passing yards per game, which ranked 11th nationally.

Six defensive players coached by Pry are on NFL rosters. A native of Lexington, Va., Pry was an assistant coach at Western Carolina for four years (1998-2001) before joining the ULL staff. He coached the defensive line for two seasons before moving to defensive backs and special teams the latter two years. In 1998, WCU finished ninth in Division I-AA in total defense. In 2001, he helped the Catamount defense to a No. 1 ranking in touchdown passes allowed with just five. In addition, Pry’s secondary was ranked third nationally in pass defense. From 1995-98, Pry was a graduate assistant at Virginia Tech with the defensive line. While there, the Hokies ranked No. 1 nationally against the run, fifth in scoring defense and 10th in total defense. The squad garnered two Big East championships and made appearances in the Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl and Gator Bowl during that time. A free safety at Maryville College in 1988, Pry later transferred to Buffalo, where he played under former New Orleans Saints head coach Jim Haslett. Pry sat out the 1989 season and lettered in 1990. He suffered a career-ending injury in 1991 and returned to the field as a student assistant coach for the 1992 season. Pry earned his

bachelor’s degree in history in 1993. Pry began his coaching career at East Stroudsburg University as an outside linebackers coach in 1993 and worked with defensive backs in 1994. Coaching runs in the family, as his father, Jim, is an assistant coach at Illinois. Pry and his wife, Amy, have a six-year-old son, Colby.

Hired in March 2006, Kenny Ingram is entering his third season with the Tigers as the assistant coach responsible for guiding the linebackers. Ingram was battle tested in 2007 as that group was most hit by injuries to several key players. In just the second game of the season, Ingram lost the services of starting outside linebacker Greg Jackson to a knee injury. Just weeks later, Ingram had to alter the lineup again as middle linebacker Winston Bowens was sidelined the remainder of the season, also with a knee injury. Seven different lineups were used in 13 games, as Ingram and the defensive staff looked to get a consistent group in place. The final three games saw Jeremy Rockette and Jake Kasser on the outsides and Heath Grant in the middle. Kasser, who started 13 games, led the squad in tackles with 100 and was named to the All-C-USA second team. Kasser was also second on the squad in fumble recoveries with three.

Rockette returns in 2008, and Ingram will also welcome Bowens and Jackson back out on the field. In addition, the linebacker corps will have added depth with senior Tommy Phelps, sophomore Corderick Govan, redshirt freshman Terrence Thomas and junior Josh Weaver, who transitioned from defensive line to linebacker in the spring. Ingram inherited a young group of linebackers in 2006, and his charges responded by leading the way in tackles that season. Three of the five leading tacklers on the squad were linebackers, led by Grant, who was second with 81 stops. Grant also led the team in fumble recoveries with two and logged two interceptions. Quinton McCrary and Jackson ranked third and fourth, respectively, in tackles. McCrary registered 70 tackles and a forced fumble, while Jackson totaled 69 tackles, which included seven TFL for minus 15 yards. No stranger to Memphis, Ingram coached at Melrose High School, where he was credited with returning the program to prominence. He was the head coach from 2002-04 and posted a 37-4 overall record after serving as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator from 200102. He led the school to one appearance in the state finals and a pair of appearances in the state semifinals. Ingram was a three-time Regional Coach of the Year and was the Commercial Appeal’s 2004 Coach of the Year for Metro Memphis. He also was selected to serve as the Liberty Bowl AllStar Game defensive coordinator in 2003 and was a member of the Tennessee East-West Shrine All-Star Game coaching staff that same season. In addition, Ingram

was elected as an assistant coach for the 2004 Tennessee-Kentucky All-Star Game. In his three seasons at Melrose, he coached 17 players who signed scholarships to play college football. Ingram, 37, spent the 2005 season as defensive line coach at Tennessee State University, and was responsible for recruiting his hometown area of Memphis and west Tennessee. Previously, Ingram taught and coached at Corry Middle School and worked in the Youth Habilitation Center prior to moving to Melrose. A standout locally at Whitehaven High, Ingram played college football at Arkansas State, where he was a four-year letterman from 198893. He was the team co-captain in 1992-93, and received his bachelor’s degree in political science from ASU in December 1999. Ingram and his wife, Carla, have five children: Kendrien, Taylor, Kameron and twins Kennedy and Karleigh.

in 2005, as All-American and All-C-USA performer Darren McCaleb, who was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, set the school single-season record with 23 field goals and most points in a season (107). In addition, All-American punter Luke Johnson was the No. 1 punter in the league and was ranked No. 7 nationally in yards per punt (44.9). In 2004, Pollard coached outside linebacker Michael Boley, who left his mark as one of the greatest linebackers to ever play at USM. He was a two-time All-American, including consensus honors in 2004, the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year in 2004 and a three-time All-C-USA selection. Boley was tabbed a national semifinalist for the Butkus, Bednarik and Lott Awards, while winning the Conerly Trophy, given since 1996 to Mississippi’s best college football player. He earned C-USA Defensive Player of the Week Honors four times and national player of the week honors by the Football Writers Association of America and the Walter Camp Foundation. He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 2005. Linebacker Antoine Cash also had an outstanding senior season in 2004 as the team’s third-leading tackler with 95 stops, four sacks, 15 tackles for loss and three fumble recoveries. Cash joined Boley at the next level, signing a free agent contract with the Falcons. In 2003, Pollard saw three of his specialists gain all-conference honors. Eubanks and Marvin Young ranked among the nation’s leaders in kick returns and punt returns, respectively. The two players earned spots on the All-C-USA first team as return men, while McCaleb was honored on the league’s all-freshman team and was named

to several freshman All-America teams, including The Sporting News. A native of Bay Springs, Miss., Pollard played at Stringer High School and completed an outstanding Golden Eagle playing career in 1997 by helping lead the team to a 9-3 record, a C-USA championship and a Liberty Bowl title. He led the team in tackles with 114, a total that was good for fifth place in the conference. He was in double figures in tackles eight times in 11 games as a senior and had a season-best 13 stops in the season opener at Florida. He finished his Golden Eagle career with 274 tackles, nearly reaching the top 10 on the career tackles list at Southern Miss, and he was named permanent captain his senior season. Pollard, 32, earned his undergraduate degree from Southern Miss in coaching and sport administration in the spring of 1998, and his master’s degree in the fall of 1999. Pollard, and his wife, Kristina, have two sons, Tylor and Klabron.

Lytrel Pollard became one of the newest members of the Tiger coaching staff when he was hired in February 2008 to guide the cornerbacks. No stranger to the Tigers or Conference USA, Pollard spent the last nine seasons on Jeff Bower’s staff at Southern Miss as the defensive backs coach as well as the special teams coordinator. A former standout Golden Eagle linebacker, Pollard had previously worked with linebackers for six years before taking over the defensive backs. In 2007, Pollard guided the USM defensive backs which logged 17 interceptions and was led by Conference USA standout Brandon Sumrall. Sumrall totaled six picks for 101 yards and made one return for a touchdown last season, and was named to the All-C-USA first team. He also tied for 18th nationally in interceptions and tallied eight pass breakups. In addition, defensive backs C.J. Bailey and Chico Hunter were named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Consistent defensive leaders in Conference USA, USM ranked second in C-USA in total defense and pass defense while leading the league in red zone defense. Pollard also guided the special teams unit, which was highlighted by punter Britt Barefoot, who ranked second in C-USA and 25th nationally in punting. The Golden Eagles, as a team, ranked second in the league in net punting and was also second in kickoff coverage. Pollard coached the 2005 C-USA Defensive Player of the Year and All-American Kevis Coley, who posted 150 tackles, the sixth-best performance in school history. Coley’s total tackles ranked No. 8 nationally, while his solos (81) stood No. 7 nationally. Pollard also led a strong special teams unit

Garret Chachere enters his second season with the Tiger football staff. He serves as an assistant coach responsible for the special teams unit. In 2007, Chachere inherited a unit that included 2006 C-USA All-Freshman honoree Matt Reagan, who had a stellar rookie season kicking for the Tigers. Chachere also had the talents of junior college punter Brent Sutherland and return specialist Michael Grandberry. This past season, Reagan earned two C-USA Player of the Week honors and led the Tigers in scoring with 80 points. He hit all but three of his 38 PATs and was 15-of-22 on field goals, while also handling a majority of the kickoffs. Sutherland was steady throughout the season and averaged 40.7 yards on his 52 punts, while dropping 12 of his attempts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. Under Chachere’s guidance, Grandberry flourished and set nearly every U of M kickoff return record, including single-game yardage (168 vs USM), single-season returns (59), single-season yardage (1,286) and career 100-yard games (8). He also holds the Tigers’ all-time records for returns with 81 and for yardage with 1,826 yards and has one season to add to those marks. No stranger to Conference USA, Chachere spent eight years (1999-2006) at his alma mater, Tulane, where he coached the Green Wave linebackers and special teams.

2007 REVIEW

OLE MISS 23, MEMPHIS 21 SEPT. 1, 2007 • MEMPHIS, TENN.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — If, before the Mid-South rivalry with Ole Miss, someone told Tiger head coach Tommy West that his squad would still have an opportunity to win despite: • His team’s five turnovers. • One fumble that halted a possible scoring drive at the 9-yard line. • Two interceptions that stopped potential scoring chances inside the 15-yard line. • Two special teams miscues with a missed 25-yard field goal and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. Tiger Nation could count on two responses from its coach. One would probably be an “are-youkidding-me” look. The other would be a “I’d-take-it” expression. Well, that’s what faced West and his Tigers after spotting the visitors from Oxford, Miss., a 230 lead late into the third quarter. However, that’s when Memphis found a rhythm and mounted a near comeback in the final 16:28 of the contest. The Tigers scored three touchdowns and came within a tipped-away two-point conversion with :31 left, but dropped a narrow 23-21 decision to Ole Miss before a crowd of 45,457 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. It was the third-straight year the Rebels were able to pull out a close call, as they won 10-6 in 2005 (Memphis) and 28-25 in 2006 (Oxford). After a Josh Shene 30-yard field goal made the score 23-0 Rebels with 3:46 left in the third period, the Tigers began their climb back into the game. On the ensuing possession, Memphis drove 66 yards on nine plays to cut the lead to 23-7. Doss rushed three times for 20 yards on the drive, including the 1-yard touchdown run. Ole Miss went 3-and-out on its next possession, and after the punt, the Tigers took over on their own 16. Memphis quarterback Martin Hankins — who set career highs for completions (41), attempts (60) and yards (343) — went 7-of-10 passing for 57 yards on the drive and directed the Tigers down to the Ole Miss 4. From there, redshirt freshman Matt Malouf, who played his prep career at Oxford High School, hit paydirt from four yards out. After a Hankins-to-Duke Calhoun two-point conversion, Memphis pulled to within eights points at 23-15 with 10:16 left. On the Rebels’ next possession, it looked as if they were going to put some insurance points on the scoreboard. Ole Miss drove from its own 37 to the Memphis 11, where Shene set up for a 28-yard field goal to put the contest out of reach. However, Greg Terrell got a hand on the field goal attempt, and it bounced off the crossbar and gave the Tigers one final chance to tie the game. Beginning at its own 20 with just over five minutes left, Memphis used a mixture of the run and pass and moved to the Ole Miss 8. Hankins then hit Calhoun for an 8-yard scoring strike with 0:31 left to cut the Rebel lead to 23-21. The Tigers needed to come through with another two-point conversion, but it was not to be, and the Rebels secured the win. The Tigers dug their own hole in the game’s first 40 minutes with miscues. After a Seth Adams-to-

Greg Hardy 16-yard touchdown connection gave Ole Miss a 7-0 lead, the Rebels scored their next two touchdowns courtesy of Memphis mistakes. With under four minutes left in the ﬁrst half, the Tigers had to punt from deep in their own territory. Instead of setting up a return, the Rebels went after the punt, and Jamarca Sanford blocked the attempt into the end zone where Kendrick Lewis recovered the ball for the score and a 14-0 lead. The Tigers then attempted to cut into the Rebel lead just before the halftime buzzer. Memphis took over with 3:41 left and drove to the Ole Miss 10. With under a minute to play, Dustin Mouzon intercepted a Hankins’ offering and raced 99 yards for the score. Despite the missed PAT, the Rebels were up 20-0 at the break. Hankins’ 41 completions were a Memphis single-game record, while his 60 attempts tied Danny Wimprine’s single-game mark. Carlos Singleton led the Tigers with 91 receiving yards, while Calhoun hauled in a game-high 10 catches. Both players — Singleton (9-game) and Calhoun (13-game) — extended their respective receiving streaks. Joseph Doss led the Tiger rushing attack with 59 yards on 14 carries. The Tiger defense played well, holding the Rebel ground game to only 74 yards on 29 carries. Winston Bowens led Memphis with nine total stops, while Jake Kasser had seven tackles and two fumble recoveries.

on 11 carries. The start was the second of Pitts’ collegiate career. After a sluggish first quarter in which the Gamecocks outgained Memphis 101-49 in yardage, the Tigers hit their stride in the second period. On the second possession of the second quarter, Memphis went 80 yards on seven plays in only 3:24 to increase its advantage to 14-0. Hankins went 3-of-3 for 77 yards on the drive, including a 48-yard touchdown connection with junior Carlton Robinzine. The touchdown catch was the first career score for Robinzine. However, the Gamecocks did not go away. Jacksonville State responded to the Tiger score with a nine-play, 67-yard scoring drive that culminated in a Anthony Jones 2-yard touchdown run to cut lead to 14-7 with only 2:37 left before halftime. With just over two minutes left, most of Tiger Nation had thoughts of just running out the clock. But, not this Memphis offense. Taking over on their own 27 yard line, the Tigers moved to the 42 with around 1:30 left on the clock. On a 2nd-and-6, Hankins took to the air again and hit Maurice Jones, who out-jumped his defender for the ball and raced 58 yards to give Memphis a 21-7 at the intermission. Much like the opening quarter, the Tigers took some time to get their rhythm in the third period. Memphis’ first two drives of the second half produced no points, but after an Earnest Williams electrifying 52-yard punt return, the Tigers were back in business. Williams’ return set Memphis up on the Gamecock 24 yard line, and two plays later, Hankins connected with Greg Hinds for a 20-yard scoring strike to push the Tigers ahead further at 28-7. Hinds’ touchdown reception was the first of his collegiate career, while it was Hankins’ fourth threetouchdown passing performance of his Memphis career. Each team added another score in the fourth quarter for the 35-14 final. Memphis’ final touchdown came courtesy of a redshirt freshman quarterback Matt Malouf 38-yard scamper early in the final period. It was Malouf’s second rushing touchdown in as many games. Jacksonville State added a score with only :25 left in the game on an Alphonso Freeney 1-yard run. Williams led all Tiger receivers with five catches, while Jones had a game-high 88 receiving yards. Williams finished the game with 177 all-purpose yards (35 rushing/67 receiving/21 kick return/54 punt return). Jake Kasser paced the Memphis defense with 11 total stops and one TFL. Dontae Reed and LaKeitharun Ford each added seven tackles. Alton Starr had three pass break-ups to lead the Tigers. Gamecock quarterback Cedric Johnson led his team in both rushing and passing. Johnson rushed for a game-high 71 yards and added 214 yards via the air on 23-of-39 passing. James Wilkerson was Johnson’s favorite target with five receptions for 73 yards. John Scott led the Jacksonville State defense with eight total tackles.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — If one looks at the numbers following Memphis’ game versus Jacksonville State, it seems the visiting Gamecocks gave the Tigers a run for their money. The Tigers had just one more first down than Jacksonville State (24-23) and only outgained the Gamecocks by fewer than 100 total yards (485-392). Furthermore, Jacksonville State dominated time of possession by more than 12 minutes (36:06-23:54). But, in the end, the only two numbers that matter are those on the scoreboard: Memphis 35, Jacksonville State 14. Despite the closeness in the statistics, the Tigers used a quick-strike offense en route to their first victory of the 2007 campaign, before a crowd of 28,298 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. When the Memphis offense struck, it did so with flair. Three of the Tigers’ five touchdowns were from over 35 yards out, and Memphis’ five scoring drives averaged five plays and a little over 1:30 per possession. Senior quarterback Martin Hankins led the Tiger offense with three touchdown strikes on 16-of-22 passing for 289 yards. Hankins hit nine different receivers in the game. Sophomore running back T.J. Pitts, starting in place of the injured Joseph Doss, led the Tiger rushing attack with 52 yards

2007 REVIEW

UCF 56, MEMPHIS 20 SEPT. 22, 2007 • ORLANDO, FLA.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Sometimes, it’s just not your day. Or, either Murphy’s Law was in full effect. Whatever it was, Memphis ran into a buzzsaw when it entered Bright House Networks Stadium, as UCF scored on its first seven possessions and cruised to a 56-20 Conference USA victory over the Tigers. The win was the Knights’ first victory in their new home before a crowd of 42,153. The Knights piled up 601 yards of total offense, the most yards against a Tiger defense since Texas A&M had 615 yards against Memphis in 1978. UCF’s seven rushing scores were the most via the ground since Texas A&M also had seven rushing touchdowns in that same 1978 contest. The Knights gained 313 of their 601 total yards with their ground attack. The 300-yard rushing performance was the first for a Tiger foe since TCU rushed for 350 yards in 2002. Leading the UCF offensive explosion was the quarterback tandem of Kyle Israel and Michael Greco and running back Kevin Smith. Israel was 6-of-9 passing for 137 yards, including a 72-yard scoring strike to Kamar Aiken to open the second half. Greco was just as impressive, going 11-of-12 passing for 151 yards and rushing 10 times for 77 yards and two scores. Smith, who entered the game as the nation’s leading rusher, did not disappoint with a 124-yard, three-touchdown performance. Phillip Smith added 96 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown. The Memphis quarterback trio of Martin Hankins, Will Hudgens and Matt Malouf combined for 16-of-33 passing for 173 yards. Each quarterback threw for one touchdown. Joseph Doss led the Tiger rushing game with 48 yards on nine carries. The Knights began their offensive display on the game’s opening drive. UCF drove 81 yards on 10 plays, and it was capped by Kevin Smith’s first touchdown. After holding Memphis to a 3-and-out on its first possession, the Knights put together a 9:13, time-consuming drive that ended with an Israel 1-yard touchdown run to give UCF a 14-0 advantage. At first quarter’s end, the statistics showed UCF’s domination. The Knights outgained Memphis 169-12 in total yardage, and won the time of possession battle 12:38-2:22. The outlook did not get better for the Tigers in the second period. UCF scored four more times in the second quarter to take a 42-0 halftime lead. Kevin Smith scored the Knights’ first two touchdowns of the period, and Greco added two 10-yard scoring scampers. The halftime break didn’t slow down the Knights. On the second play of its first second-half drive, Israel dropped back and hit Aiken on a 72yard scoring connection for a 49-0 lead. Memphis got on the scoreboard with just over 11 minutes left in the third quarter when Hankins

found Carlos Singleton from 17 yards out. The Tigers added their second score a quarter later at the 11:55 mark of the final period. Malouf connected on his only toss of the game, a 4-yard scoring strike to Earnest Williams. After UCF’s final touchdown, Hudgens hit Dave Thomas from 10 yards out to close the game’s scoring. UCF’s 56 points were the most by a Tiger opponent since Florida State scored 57 in a 57-20 win over Memphis in the 1989 season finale. The last time a Memphis opponent score 50 or more points was in the 2004 GMAC Bowl, where Bowling Green rolled up 52 points. Maurice Jones led the Tiger receiving corps with three catches for 50 yards. Memphis punter Brent Sutherland averaged 41.5 yards on six attempts. Brandon Patterson (8 tackles), Jake Kasser (7 tackles) and LaKeitharun Ford (6 tackles) paced the Tiger defense. Quinton McCrary had five tackles, one quarterback sack and three fumble recoveries. McCrary’s three fumble recoveries tied a school record that was originally set by Ricky Kale against Southern Miss in 1970. Jason Venson led UCF with nine tackles, and Leger Douzable had six tackles, one quarterback sack and two TFLs.

often. Memphis scored on all four of its first-half offensive possessions, building a 24-6 lead. The Tigers took the opening kickoff and drove 84 yards on nine plays for a quick 7-0 lead. Joseph Doss, who led the Memphis ground game with 50 yards on 17 carries, punched in the first Tiger touchdown from one yard out. The drive’s highlight came on the first play from scrimmage when quarterback Martin Hankins connected with Maurice Jones for a 56-yard gain to the Indian 28 yard line. After an exchange of field goals made it Memphis 10-3, the Tiger offense struck again — and this time quicker than the first. On its first possession of the second quarter, Memphis started on its own 20 yard line and went to its bag of tricks. Hankins took the snap and threw a lateral to Dave Thomas, who fired an 80-yard touchdown strike to Steven Black for a 17-3 Tiger lead. It was Black’s first career receiving touchdown at Memphis. The Indians answered with another Josh Arauco field goal, but Memphis responded with another touchdown. For their third touchdown of the contest, the Tigers put together a 13-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a Matt Malouf 1-yard run. After a Matt Reagan PAT, Memphis held a 24-6 lead. With just over three minutes left before the break, the Indians tried to cut into the Tiger lead. Arkansas State started a drive on its own 38 and drove to the Memphis 14, but on a 1st-and-10 play, Cedric Wilkerson fumbled the ball and Tiger defensive lineman Freddie Barnett picked up the loose ball and rumbled 88 yards for the score. The fumble return for the touchdown gave the Tigers a 31-6 lead which Memphis took into halftime. Barnett’s 88-yard fumble return was the longest in school history, breaking the previous mark of 84 yards set by Corey Irby versus Louisville in 1999. However, after halftime, the tide turned midway through the third period with Kevin Jones’ 89-yard punt return for a score. The touchdown only pulled the Indians to within 31-13, but gave Arkansas State the momentum for its comeback. The Indians’ next three touchdowns came via the air. Leonard hooked up with Vernon Catlin (10 yards), Levi Dejohnette (27 yards) and Preston Brown (1 yard) to give Arkansas State its first lead of the contest at 35-31 with 7:52 left in the game. On the ensuing possession, the Tigers moved the ball to the Arkansas State 30 yard line, but the Indians halted the Memphis drive there. The Tigers got the ball one last time with 3:16 left, but was unable to move past midfield. Hankins was 10-of-21 passing for 119 yards, and Maurice Jones led the receiving coprs with three catches for 71 yards. For Arkansas State, Leonard was 16-of-37 passing, and Dejohnette was his favorite target with seven receptions for 99 yards and one score. Greg Terrell led the Memphis defense with nine tackles, 1.5 TFL and a forced fumble. Winston Bowens added eight hits. Koby McKinnon led the Indian defense with 11 total tackles. Alex Carrington had nine tackles, while Khayyam Burns added eight hits.

JONESBORO, Ark. — The old football saying goes, “It was a tale of two halves.” And that was never more true about a game than the MemphisArkansas State 2007 encounter. In a rescheduled game from Sept. 8 when the contest was called due to inclement weather, the visiting Tigers jumped on the home team in the ﬁrst half, racing out to a 31-6 halftime advantage. However, the second half was a different story. Arkansas State used a punt return for a touchdown midway through the third quarter to ignite the program’s biggest come-frombehind win in nearly two decades, defeating Memphis 35-31 before a crowd of 27,774 at Indian Stadium. The comeback was Arkansas State’s biggest since 1989 when the Indians were down 31-0 to Lamar and rallied to defeat the Cardinals 41-31. In addition to the punt return for the touchdown, Indian quarterback Corey Leonard’s strong play helped lead Arkansas State to victory. Leonard totaled a career-high 329 yards (255 passing, 74 rushing) and passed for three scores. While the focus of the Indian comeback was on the offense, the Arkansas State defense played a big hand in the win. After the Tigers rolled up 31 points and 297 total yards in the ﬁrst half, the Indian defense held Memphis scoreless and allowed only 98 yards of total offense after the break. After a slow start in their previous game at UCF, the Tigers jumped on Arkansas State early and

MEMPHIS 24, MARSHALL 21 OCT. 2, 2007 • MEMPHIS, TENN.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It’s amazing the Tigers could even walk onto the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium field and actually play its Conference USA home opener after the events that occurred 48 hours prior to the contest. Two days before the game, the Memphis team lost one of its own, as defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was shot and killed Sunday evening. The following morning, West met with Bradford’s parents, and they gave their blessing for the team to play its game the next day. With that, it was up to Bradford’s teammates to make the final decision. In a unanimous team vote, the Tigers wanted to play — and play in honor of their fallen teammate. The night before the contest when most squads are usually focused on final game preparations, the Tigers walked, as a team, to a campus candlelight vigil in Bradford’s memory. In his tenure as the Tigers’ mentor, West has said repeatedly that he wants guys with solid character, and that was truly seen in his Tigers this night. Game time arrived, and just minutes before the kick-off, the Tigers and their head coach took the field arm-in-arm. Then, football took over, and Memphis dug deep to post an inspirational 24-21 C-USA victory over the Thundering Herd before an emotional crowd of 25,324. In the locker room following the game, the Tigers chanted Bradford’s nickname to not only celebrate the win but also their teammate’s life. On top of the events prior to the contest, Memphis was playing its third game in 11 days, and also was carrying a two-game losing streak into the Marshall contest. The losing streak, the bumps and bruises, and maybe even a very small portion of the pain were washed away with the victory. With starting quarterback Martin Hankins injured, junior Will Hudgens took over the reins behind center for the first time since 2005. And the Memphis native made the most of it. Hudgens was 30-of-45 passing for 346 yards and two touchdowns. The completions, attempts, passing yards and touchdown passes all were career highs for Hudgens. The 346 yards were the seventh-most for a single game in Tiger history, and the 30 completions the fourth-most for a single contest. Hudgens hit nine different receivers, and sophomore Duke Calhoun was his favorite target. Calhoun had six receptions for a game-high 74 yards. Carlos Singleton had five catches for 69 yards, and had the touchdown and two-point conversion that gave Memphis the lead for good in the third quarter. T.J. Pitts led the Tiger ground attack with 14 carries for 57 yards and both were career bests for him. Joseph Doss added 22 yards on 10 carries. On the strength of three Matt Reagan first-half field goals, the Tigers held a slim 9-7 advantage at the intermission. The momentum, however, swung to the Thundering Herd to start the second half. Marshall took the second half opening kick-off and marched down the field to take a 14-9 lead. The Thundering Herd kept the ball on the ground and gained all 69 yards on the drive running the

ball. Darius Marshall punctuated the drive with an 11-yard score. The Tigers immediately answered. Starting on its own 14 yard line, Memphis scored the goahead touchdown 11 plays later when Hudgens hit Singleton across the middle, and Singleton made a spectacular run to the end zone. The Tigers then went for the two-point conversion, and the Hudgens-Singleton connection worked again for a 17-14 lead. It looked as if Marshall would answer Memphis’ score, but on the ninth play of the ensuing drive, Darius Marshall fumbled and Quinton McCrary recovered the ball for the Tigers at their own 23. Memphis took advantage of the turnover and drove 77 yards for a 24-14 lead. Hudgens tossed his second touchdown pass of the game to Greg Hinds from four yards out. Marshall cut the Memphis lead to 24-21 with 5:22 left when Bernard Morris connected with Darius Passmore on a four-yard score. After forcing a Tiger punt, the Thundering Herd had one ﬁnal opportunity to tie or win the game. Marshall started on its own 20 and drove the ball to the Tiger 41, but on a 4th-and-3 play, Morris’ pass fell incomplete, and Memphis had earned the win. Darius Marshall led the Thundering Herd rushing game with 90 yards on 15 carries. Morris was 23-of-32 passing for 220 yards, while Passmore had seven receptions for 69 yards. Jake Kasser (11 tackles) and McCrary (10) led the Tiger defense. LeRico Mathis recorded his ﬁrst career interception in a Memphis uniform.

Middle Tennessee quarterback Dwight Dasher had a career game against the Tigers, passing for 230 yards and running for another 180 yards. Dasher’s 180-yard rushing performance was the best by a Blue Raider quarterback in the program’s history. Dasher finished the contest 16-of-26 passing with one touchdown and one interception. The game was Dasher’s first start at quarterback in a road game. DeMarco McNair also helped the Middle Tennessee offensive effort. McNair rushed for 50 yards on 17 carries and a score and also caught one pass for 55 yards and a touchdown. The way the game began gave the indication it was going to be a shootout between the two high-powered offenses. After taking the opening kick-off, the Blue Raiders moved the ball from their own 20 to the 45 in six plays. On the next play, Dasher hit McNair in stride down the right sideline for a 55-yard touchdown strike to give Middle Tennessee a 7-0 lead only four minutes into the contest. The Tigers attempted to answer back immediately, but Matt Reagan missed a 47-yard field goal attempt to end Memphis’ first scoring opportunity. However, the Tigers got another chance in the first period and took advantage. After taking over at its own 20 after a Blue Raider punt, Memphis drove 80 yards in eight plays to tie the game at 7all. Tiger quarterback Will Hudgens connected on two huge pass plays on the drive. The first was a 41-yard “leaping-over-the-defender” reception by Carlos Singleton, while the second was a 19-yard touchdown pass to Duke Calhoun with a defender on his back. After a scoreless second quarter, Middle Tennessee took its first possession of the third period down to the Memphis 13 yard line. The drive, though, was thwarted when Brandon Patterson intercepted Dasher’s pass in the end zone. The Tigers had new life on their own 20, but quickly gave the ball back to the Blue Raiders when T.J. Pitts fumbled and Middle Tennessee recovered the loose ball on the 14. Four plays later, McNair hit paydirt from one yard out to give the Blue Raiders a 14-7 lead. The Memphis offense was unable to muster any further threat in the game, and when Dasher broke away for a 61-yard touchdown scamper with just under four minutes left in the game, Middle Tennessee had secured the 21-7 victory. Hudgens was 13-of-35 passing for 134 yards and a score, and Calhoun was his favorite target with four receptions for 51 yards and the Tigers’ lone touchdown. Pitts led the Tiger ground game with 49 yards on 14 carries. Patterson and Winston Bowens led the Memphis defense with nine tackles apiece. Tony Bell recorded the first interception of his Tiger career. Tavares Jones led the Middle Tennessee defense with seven total tackles and a fumble recovery that set up the Blue Raiders’ go-ahead score in the third quarter.

2007 REVIEW

Fourth Down Conversions

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — When results are like the one the Tigers went through in their in-state game against Middle Tennessee, it’s just best to let the head coach sum it up. “I’m not pointing the finger at anybody but me,” said Memphis head coach Tommy West in the post game press conference. “That was about as poor of an offensive performance that we’ve had since I’ve been here. That’s my responsibility. “I haven’t done a very good job at improving our football team. I’ve got to find a way to get us there.” If there is a coach that can get it turned around, it is West, who has led the Tiger program to three-straight bowl game appearances. But, with their 21-7 loss to Middle Tennessee, the Tigers put themselves in a tough position to make a fourth bowl game in five years. With a 2-4 record, Memphis now has to win four of its final six contests to qualify for a bowl spot. Tiger Nation, though, has seen Memphis near this same position in recent memory. In the Tigers’ 2003 bowl run, Memphis dropped to 3-3 after a mid-season setback at Mississippi State. The Tigers, however, reeled off five-straight victories to earn a bowl berth. That could still happen in 2007 with a few bounces of the ball for the Tigers. But, in the game against the Blue Raiders, the breaks went the visitors’ way before a crowd of 30,101 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

2007 REVIEW

MEMPHIS 38, RICE 35 OCT. 20, 2007 • HOUSTON, TEXAS

HOUSTON, Texas — One thing Tiger fans can’t say about their head coach is this: Tommy West doesn’t know his team. After sub-par production from the rushing game the previous couple of outings, West said the following in his weekly press conference heading into the Rice game: “I feel like we are closer than we have ever been in being able to develop a running game ... I’m sick of saying that we don’t have a running game, but I really believe we are on the right track. I think we’re pretty close. “You’ve got to be able to run the ball some and get 150 yards rushing. If you can do that with the way we throw it ... then you’ve got a chance.” Chalk another one up for West. In a game the Tigers needed to win to keep their bowl hopes alive, Memphis put together an impressive 247-yard rushing performance en route to a thrilling 38-35 Conference USA victory over Rice, before a crowd of 11,122 at Rice Stadium in Houston. The game was the firstever meeting between the two programs. The 247 yards via the ground was the Tigers’ best rushing game since the 2005 Motor City Bowl versus Akron when Memphis put up 351 rushing yards. Leading the ground game was senior Joseph Doss, who had a career game in the victory over the Owls. Doss rushed for a career-high 175 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown. The Memphis rushing attack complemented the passing game which accumulated 324 yards and accounted for three touchdowns. Senior quarterback Martin Hankins returned under center after missing the previous two games due to injury and was 21-of32 passing for 306 yards and three scores. The Tigers finished the game with 571 yards of total offense, the highest output by a Memphis squad since the 2004 campaign. The last time a Tiger team produced more total offense was in the 2004 epic battle against the Louisville Cardinals at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, piling up 603 yards of total offense. The back-and-forth Memphis-Rice contest entered the final quarter tied at 28-all, and the offensive fireworks continued. The Tigers took over their first possession of the fourth period on their own 10 yard line, but three plays later, Memphis moved to the Rice 27. The key play was the Hankins-to-Duke Calhoun 49-yard connection. The Tigers moved the ball to the Owl 5, but had to settle for a Matt Reagan 22-yard field goal for a 31-28 lead. On the ensuing drive, Rice was looking for the go-ahead score, and the Owls moved the ball to midfield. The Tiger defense, however, stepped up, and when Steven Turner intercepted his first collegiate pass, the Memphis offense was back in business. This time, the Tigers punched the ball in the end zone. On the third play after the turnover, Hankins found Maurice Jones from 45 yards out for his third touchdown pass of the game. The score gave Memphis a 38-28 advantage with just over five minutes to play. In this game of offensive firepower, the Owls were far from done. In just over three minutes,

Rice drove 80 yards, and when Chase Clement hit James Casey for a 20-yard touchdown, the Owls cut the lead to 38-35 with 2:09 left. Rice attempted an on-sides kick, but the Tigers recovered and ran out the clock on the strength of their rushing game. The scoring started early in the game as both teams posted touchdowns in the opening period. In the second quarter, Memphis built a 17-7 lead on a Reagan field goal and a Greg Hinds receiving score from Hankins. The Owls, though, responded with a Jarett Dillard touchdown catch to slice the lead to 17-14. Memphis added another Reagan field goal just before halftime for a 20-14 lead. A Dillard 42-yard touchdown reception gave Rice its only lead of the game at 21-20 early in the third quarter. Each team added another touchdown for a 28-all score heading into the final quarter. Hankins’ favorite target was Calhoun, who finished the game with four catches for 119 yards. It was his fourth career 100-yard receiving game. Dillard led the Owl receiving corps with five catches for 85 yards and three touchdowns. Dontae Reed (9 tackles), Jake Kasser (6) and Winston Bowens (6) paced the Tiger defense. In addition to Turner’s interception, LeRico Mathis picked off his second pass of the season. The Owls had three players with double-digit tackles in Vernon James (12), Brian Raines (12) and Andrew Sendejo (10). Scott Solomon had the game’s lone sack for nine yards.

found Maurice Jones for a 19-yard pick-up to the Green Wave 6, which set up the Tigers for the winning score. But, the good fortune did not end for the Tigers there. On the ensuing possession, the Green Wave moved the ball to near midfield with under :25 left. Scelfo hit Gabe Ratliff for a four-yard gain to the Memphis 49, and then confusion followed. The Tulane offense thought the clock stopped with Ratliff going outof-bounds, but the officials ruled he was tackled in-bounds. The Green Wave ran one more play, but quarterback Anthony Scelfo was tackled after a five-yard rush and the Tigers had secured the victory. So, after nearly two seasons of breaks going the other way, Memphis had the ball bounce its way. However, for most of the contest, the tremendous rushing performance of Tulane All-America candidate Matt Forte seemed as if it would trump all the breaks the Tigers could get. Forte gained 278 yards on a school single-game record 44 carries and also scored two touchdowns. With his 278 yards, Forte set the Tulane single-season rushing mark with 1,539 yards. Forte’s first score was an impressive 51-yard scamper in the second quarter to put the Green Wave ahead 13-7. It was on that 51-yard run that he set the Tulane single-season rushing mark. His second touchdown was only from one yard out, but gave Tulane a 27-21 lead early in the fourth period. The Tigers countered Forte’s rushing with Hankins’ arm. The Tiger senior quarterback was 25-of-38 passing for a career-high 355 yards and two touchdowns. The 355 yards passing is tied for the fourth-best, single-game performance in Tiger football history. Hankins made use of his entire receiving corps, hitting nine different receivers in the contest. Maurice Jones was one of Hankins’ key targets, as he had four receptions for a careerbest 117 yards. The game was close throughout with the largest lead six points. The Green Wave took an early 3-0 lead on a Thevenot 48-yard field goal, but Memphis responded with a Williams’ three-yard touchdown run. After 10-straight points put Tulane ahead 13-7, Williams hit paydirt again — this time on the receiving end of a Hankins’ 47-yard pass. The scoring strike gave Memphis a 14-13 lead at the break. The lead went back-and-forth in the second half, with the Tigers scoring the game-winner with :36 on the clock. Quinton McCrary led the Tiger defense with 15 total tackles. He also recovered a fumble in the first quarter, which was his sixth recovery of the season. The six fumble recoveries is a Memphis single-season record. Jake Kasser added 12 tackles for the Tigers. Evan Lee (9 tackles) and Chinonso Echebelem (8 hits) led the Tulane defense. Avery Williams added seven tackles and an interception for the Green Wave.

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Following a victory many years ago in the Louisiana Superdome, a coach said, “You have to be good and you have to be lucky to win.” The Tiger football team was both in their thrilling 28-27 come-from-behind victory over Conference USA foe Tulane, before a crowd of 23,267 at the Louisiana Superdome. With the win, Memphis moved closer to becoming bowl eligible and also remained in the race for the Conference USA East Division title. The lucky part — or maybe call it fortunate — for the Tigers was Tulane kicker Russ Thevenot’s missed 22-yard chip-shot field goal with just over ﬁve minutes to play. The Green Wave was leading 27-21 at the time, and the ﬁeld goal would have increased the lead to nine points (30-21) and essentially put the contest out of reach. The good part is the Memphis offense made play after play on the game-winning drive following Tulane’s missed opportunity. The Tiger quarterback tandem of Martin Hankins and Matt Malouf directed a nine-play, 80-yard scoring drive that ended with a Hankins-to-Duke Calhoun 5-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 27-all. Matt Reagan’s PAT put the Tigers ahead 28-27 with only :36 left. On that Tiger possession, Hankins and Malouf each made a huge play to keep the drive going. Facing a 3rd-and-3 on the Memphis 27, Hankins hooked up with Earnest Williams for a 41-yard gain to the Tulane 32. Two plays later, Malouf

EAST CAROLINA 56, MEMPHIS 40 NOV. 3, 2007 • MEMPHIS, TENN.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — For Tiger fans that enjoy offensive football, the Memphis-East Carolina match-up was nearly a complete joy. If proof is needed, then look at the numbers: • Over 1,000 yards of total offense between the two teams (ECU 641; UofM 493) • 96 points scored between the two teams, the most by the Tigers and their foe since the Louisville game in the 2004 season (56-49 UL win) • 41 points scored between the two teams in the third quarter alone, the most points in one quarter since the Tulane game in 1992 (62-20 U of M win) • Both teams running a combined 159 offensive plays • Memphis quarterback Martin Hankins throwing for a school-record 416 yards, breaking the previous mark of 398 by Danny Wimprine versus Mississippi State in 2003 • Hankins also threw for four touchdowns, the most by a Memphis signal-caller since Wimprine in the 2004 GMAC Bowl • East Carolina running back Chris Johnson rushing for a career-high 301 yards, the second-best, single-game performance in Pirate history • Johnson also set a Pirate single-game record with 408 all-purpose yards (301 rush/12 receiving/95 kick return) The only thing that stopped a Tiger fan from having a completely enjoyable afternoon was the final score which read: East Carolina 56, Memphis 40. Before a Homecoming crowd of 27,186 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Tigers hung in the contest for nearly three quarters, but the powerful Pirate offense proved too much. Johnson led an East Carolina ground attack that put up 491 yards rushing on 44 carries for an 11.2 average. Johnson finished the game with 301 yards, and 180 of that came on touchdown runs of 16, 44, 70 and 50 yards. Pirate quarterback Patrick Pinkney was the team’s second-leading rusher with 94 yards on eight carries, including a 45-yard scoring scamper. While the Pirates attacked on the ground, Memphis took to the air. In racking up his schoolrecord 416 yards passing, Hankins hit nine different receivers, including his two favorite targets in Duke Calhoun and Carlos Singleton. Calhoun led the Tiger receiving corps with eight receptions for 107 yards and one score, and Singleton added six catches for 100 yards. It was the first time since the 2003 Mississippi State contest that the Tigers had two 100-yard receivers in the same game. The Tigers got to within striking distance just before halftime when Hankins found Calhoun from 14 yards out to make the score 21-13 in favor of the Pirates. Immediately after the intermission, each team put another touchdown on the board, and the Tigers were still close at 28-19. That’s when the Pirates began to make their move. East Carolina scored two touchdowns in a five-minute span to increase its advantage to 4219 with only 5:52 left in the third quarter. A Joseph

Doss two-yard touchdown run pulled the Tigers to within 42-26 with 3:34 in the third, but East Carolina answered with a Pinkney-to-Steven Rogers 25-yard scoring strike to put the game out of reach at 49-26 at the end of the third period. After a Hankins-to-Singleton touchdown connection opened the fourth quarter, Johnson later added his fourth rushing score of the game on a 50-yard run with 5:22 left for a 56-32 lead. In the ﬁrst half, Memphis got on the board first with a Matt Reagan 37-yard ﬁeld goal, but that was the last time the Tigers led in the contest. East Carolina answered with three-straight touchdowns — two on runs by Johnson of 16 and 44 yards — for a 21-3 advantage that it did not lose the remainder of the game. Miguel Barnes led the Memphis rushing game with 42 yards on five carries. Doss had 40 yards on 12 rushes and one score. In addition to Calhoun’s and Singleton’s 100-yard receiving games, Carlton Robinzine had six catches for 80 yards. Heath Grant (12 total tackles), Tony Bell (10) and Clinton McDonald (10) paced the Tiger defense. All three players each had one TFL. Travis Williams led the East Carolina defense with 11 total hits. Van Eskridge and J.J. Milbrook each added seven tackles. Milbrook and Jerek Hewett each had one interception in the game.

He tossed four touchdown passes for a secondstraight week. It was his final two touchdown tosses that guided the Tigers to victory. After Brandon Sumrall picked off a Hankins’ offering and returned it 82 yards for a 26-14 Southern Miss lead with just over 10 minutes left, Memphis was staring a double-digit deficit in the face. Hankins and the Tiger offense, though, went to work. On the ensuing drive, Hankins directed Memphis on a 13-play, 76-yard drive that culminated in a gutsy 12-yard touchdown catch by Earnest Williams on a 4th-and-10 play. Williams crossed the middle of the field and held on to Hankins’ throw despite getting leveled in the end zone by a Southern Miss defender. With Matt Reagan’s PAT, the Tigers trailed 26-21 with 4:21 left. The Memphis defense had to answer the call, and it did. The Tigers held the Golden Eagle offense to a 3-andout and forced a punt, giving Memphis the ball on its own 24 with 2:33 remaining. It proved to be enough time for the Tigers. After three Hankins’ completions moved the ball to the Memphis 48, the Tiger signal-caller hooked up with Carlos Singleton on a slant for what seemed was going to be just another first down. Singleton, however, had another idea, as he shook over his defender and raced to the end zone for a 52-yard scoring strike to give Memphis its first lead of the game since the opening quarter at 27-26. Hankins then found Maurice Jones for the two-point conversion and a 29-26 Tiger advantage with only 1:04 left. The Golden Eagles started the next possession on their own 24, but Ford intercepted Jeremy Young’s pass, ending any chance for Southern Miss to tie or win the game. The Tigers got the scoring started in the first quarter when Hankins and Duke Calhoun hooked up for a 65-yard touchdown connection. Southern Miss responded with two touchdown scores for a 14-7 lead, but just before halftime, Hankins hit Singleton from 10 yards out to knot the game at 14-all heading into intermission. Two Justin Estes field goals gave the Golden Eagles a 20-14 lead early in the fourth quarter, setting up the final 10 minutes of the contest. Calhoun led all receivers with eight catches for 124 yards and a score. Singleton added five receptions for 96 yards and two touchdowns, and Jones had five catches for 54 yards. The Tiger ground game was nonexistent, netting only 26 yards on 26 carries. Damion Fletcher led the Southern Miss rushing attack with 97 yards on 21 carries and a score. Young was 11-of-17 passing for 123 yards and a touchdown. Torris Magee was Young’s favorite target, catching four passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. Jake Kasser (9 tackles), Jeremy Rockette (7) and Tommy Phelps (7) led the Memphis defense. Sumrall paced the Southern Miss defense with 11 hits, one TFL and two interceptions.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. — “Can we win one more?” That question was posed to Tiger Nation by another Memphis head coach during his team’s magical postseason ride. While the 2007 football Tigers have had some less than magical moments during the season, they put themselves in a “Can we win one more?” position after their come-from-behind victory over Southern Miss. Memphis — on the strength of senior quarterback Martin Hankins’ arm — scored two late fourth-quarter touchdowns to turn a 12-point deficit into a 29-26 Conference USA victory over the Golden Eagles at “The Rock.” The Tigers scored the go-ahead touchdown with only 1:04 left, and a LaKeitharun Ford interception with under a minute to play sealed the victory. The win improved the Tigers’ overall record to 5-5, and Memphis now needs just one win in its last two games to become bowl eligible for the fourth time in five seasons. The victory was also the second-straight for the Tigers in Hattiesburg, which is the first time Memphis posted back-to-back wins at its long-time rival’s homefield in school history. The Tigers took a 24-22 win over Southern Miss in Hattiesburg in the 2005 campaign. Hankins, a Hattiesburg native, led the comeback victory over his hometown team. The Tiger quarterback was 35-of-48 passing for 396 yards and four scoring strikes. It was nearly another 400-yard performance for Hankins, as he threw for a school-record 416 yards the previous week.

MEMPHIS 25, UAB 9 NOV. 17, 2007 • MEMPHIS, TENN.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Tiger Nation was in celebration with Memphis’ 25-9 victory over Conference USA rival UAB. But what were Tiger fans’ joyous cheers for? Was it that — after losing to its rival UAB seven-straight years — the Tigers finally ended the streak with the victory? Or was it that, with the win, Memphis became bowl bound for the fourth time in the last five years with its sixth victory of the season? It really didn’t matter what Tiger fans were cheering for because, with one win, Memphis ended the streak and earned a postseason bowl berth before a crowd of 31,138 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Unlike most of their previous victories this season, the Tigers won this game over the Blazers with a strong running game and solid defense. The Memphis ground game amassed a season-high 265 yards, and Joseph Doss was the leader for the Tiger rushing corps. The senior rushed for 168 yards on 19 carries and added a 20-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. T.J. Pitts added 71 yards on 13 carries. The Tiger defense played a huge role in the victory. Memphis limited UAB to 338 yards of total offense and only 105 yards on the ground. Memphis intercepted two Blazer passes and kept UAB out of the end zone until 10 minutes left in the game. After a scoreless first quarter, Memphis put the first points on the scoreboard early in the second period with an impressive 11-play, 97-yard drive. The Tigers began the drive on their own 3 and moved the ball to midfield, and then on 1stand-10, Martin Hankins hit Carlos Singleton for a 45-yard pick-up to the UAB 3. Two plays later, Will Hudgens crossed the goal line from a yard out for a 7-0 Tiger lead. On the ensuing possession, the Blazers answered with a Swayze Waters 26-yard field goal to cut the Memphis advantage to 7-3. With the help of a pass interference call, UAB moved the ball to the Memphis 9, but the Tiger defense forced the Blazers to settle for the field goal. Memphis responded with two drives that resulted in Matt Reagan field goals before the half. The Tigers’ first drive took them to the UAB 15 before the drive stalled, and Reagan kicked a 32yard field goal for a 10-3 Memphis lead. After forcing a Blazer punt, the Tigers took over on their own 14 with only 2:04 left. Most teams would just run out the clock and go to half with a 10-3 lead, but not the Tigers — especially when offensive weapons like Duke Calhoun are able to be used. On the first play, Hankins found Calhoun over the middle, and the Tiger sophomore receiver took the play all the way to the UAB 16 for a 70-yard connection. Six plays later, Reagan kicked his second field goal for a 13-3 Tiger halftime lead. After the intermission, the Memphis defense got even tougher for the UAB offense. On their first

two possessions of the second half, the Blazers ran nine plays and gained only 30 yards, and both drives ended with two Waters’ punts. Memphis extended the lead on its second drive of the second half, and the Tigers used their ballcontrol ground game on the possession. Memphis gained 49 of the 56 yards on the drive via the ground, and Reagan hit home his third field goal of the contest for a 16-3 advantage. At the end of the third quarter and heading into the fourth, Memphis put together a drive that ended any hopes of a UAB comeback. Starting on its own 1 yard line with 1:28 left in the third period, Memphis moved the ball to the 6, and then on 3rd-and-6, Hankins hooked up with Calhoun for another 70-yard play that took the ball to the UAB 25. After a Pitts’ five-yard run opened the final quarter of play, Doss went the final distance with a 20-yard touchdown run for a 22-3 lead with 14:14 left in the game. UAB added a late touchdown, while Reagan kicked his fourth field goal for the 25-9 final. Hankins just missed his fifth-straight 300-yard game with 298 yards on 14-of-26 passing. Calhoun led the Tiger receivers with a career-high 159 yards on four catches. It was his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season. Jake Kasser (13 total tackles) and LeRico Mathis (12) paced the Memphis defense. Corey Mills and Brandon Patterson each recorded an interception. It was Mills’ first interception of his career.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Fans can say a lot of things about the 2007 Tigers, but there is one that can’t deny — they sure make games exciting and thrilling. The week before, Memphis assured itself of a postseason bowl berth with a resounding 25-9 win over rival UAB. But, in their regular season finale, the Tigers decided to keep fans on the edge of their seats with a thrilling 55-52 tripleovertime win over Conference USA foe SMU. The win capped off an amazing turnaround season for Memphis, and for victory No. 7, the Tigers got a postgame gift. Following the contest, the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl offered an invitation to Memphis to participate in its game, and the Tigers accepted with a chorus of cheers. The New Orleans Bowl trip is the second for Memphis in the last five years, as the Tigers played in the 2003 edition of the bowl. Before the SMU game, 15 Tiger seniors were honored during “Senior Day” ceremonies, and the crowd of 20,184 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium cheered those seniors for their hard work and dedication to the program. After the pregame ceremonies, it was time for the Tigers to make their postseason case stronger with win No. 7. But, the Mustangs did not just give the game to Memphis. Playing only for pride, SMU took the Tigers to the end and then some. After a wild back-and-forth affair through three quarters, Memphis held a 42-35 lead heading into the final period. With only nine minutes left in their season, the Mustangs took over on their own 7 yard line and could have just wilted. Instead, SMU — on the strength of quarterback Justin Willis’ arm and legs — put together an MEMPHIS RUSHING Att Yds TD Lg Avg Pitts 19 110 1 25 5.8 Doss 16 75 0 18 4.7 Hudgens 5 9 1 3 1.8 Malouf 2 4 0 4 2.0 Black 1 3 0 3 3.0 Hinds 1 2 0 2 2.0 Hankins 3 -7 0 9 -2.3 Totals 47 196 2 25 4.2 PASSING C-A-I Yds TD Lg Sck Hankins 30-59-1 336 4 40 1 Hudgens 2-2-0 7 1 6 0 Totals 32-61-1 343 5 40 1 RECEIVING No Yds TD Lg Black 12 112 0 19 Singleton 8 127 3 40 Calhoun 6 65 0 23 Russell 2 12 0 6 Williams, E. 2 2 1 6 Jones 1 19 0 19 Hinds 1 6 1 6 Totals 32 343 5 40 PUNTING No Yds Avg Lg I20 Sutherland 6 241 40.2 49 2 Totals 6 241 40.2 49 2 PUNT RETURNS No Yds TD Lg Williams, E. 1 -1 0 — Totals 1 -1 0 — KO RETURNS No Yds TD Lg Grandberry 7 145 0 28 Totals 7 145 0 28 INTERCEPTIONS No Yds TD Lg Bell 1 4 0 4 Ford 1 0 0 0 Totals 2 4 0 4 Tackle Leaders: Ford 10 (7-3), Mathis 8 (8-0), Patterson 8 (3-5) Sacks: McDonald 1.0-6, Weaver 1.0-6, Turner 0.5-2, Barnett 0.5-1

impressive 93-yard scoring drive to tie the contest at 42-all with over four minutes left. On the drive, Willis accounted for 69 of the 93 yards (53 passing, 16 rushing). On the ensuing possession, Memphis drove the ball deep into SMU territory. With under a minute to play, the Tigers attempted a field goal, but Matt Reagan’s kick went wide right and the contest went into overtime. Each team answered with a field goal in the first overtime and a touchdown in the second extra period. In the third overtime, SMU took possesion first and drove the ball to a 1st-and-goal at the Memphis 8. Three plays later, the Mustangs were at the Tiger 2 yard line and faced a 4th-and-goal. SMU decided to go for the touchdown, but the Memphis defense was up to the challenge, as Corey Mills pushed Willis out-of-bounds at the 2 to stop the SMU drive. On its third overtime possession, Memphis moved to the SMU 10, and after a Martin Hankins rush to move the ball to the middle of the field, Reagan was set up for a 32-yard field goal. This time, Regan did not miss and the Tigers took home the 55-52 win. The game was offensively dominated from the start, with the Mustangs scoring just over two minutes into the contest when Willis hit Zack Sledge for a 16-yard score. The Tigers answered with two touchdowns in the first quarter for a 14-7 lead. SMU outscored Memphis in the second period 21-7 to take a 28-21 halftime lead. Willis added two touchdown passes in the quarter, while the Tigers’ score came on a Hankins-to-Carlos Singleton 20-yard connection. In the third quarter, Memphis turned the tables on SMU, winning the scoring battle 21-7 in the period for a 42-35 lead. Singleton caught two touchdown passes of 11 and 40 yards in the quarter. The 107 combined points scored was the most in school history, breaking the previous mark of 105 in the Memphis-Louisville 2004 epic battle. The overtime win by the Tigers’ was the program’s firstever, extra-session victory (1-4 overtime record). Hankins, again, paced the Memphis offense on 30-of-59 passing for 336 yards and four touchdowns. It was the third time that he had thrown four scores in a game in the 2007 season. Steven Black (12 catches/112 yards) and Singleton (8 catches/127 yards/3 TDs) were Hankins favorite targets. T.J. Pitts led the Tiger ground game with a career-high 110 yards on 19 carries and a score. Willis led the SMU offense with 375 yards passing (35-of-48) and 114 yards rushing. He was also responsible for five of the Mustangs’ seven touchdowns. Emmanuel Sanders led the SMU receiving corps with 13 catches for 118 yards and three touchdowns. LaKeitharun Ford led the Tiger defense with 10 total tackles and one interception. LeRico Mathis and Brandon Patterson each added eight tackles apiece for Memphis.

2007 REVIEW

FLORIDA ATLANTIC 44, MEMPHIS 27 DEC. 21, 2007 • NEW ORLEANS, LA.

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Four out of five. Let’s say it again! For the fourth time in the last five seasons, the Memphis Tiger football team earned a postseason bowl berth. Despite their 44-27 setback to Florida Atlantic in the 2007 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the Tigers and their fans had a lot to be proud of when looking at the entire 2007 campaign. The season began with a tough start, but Memphis caught its stride in late October and rode that wave to a fourth bowl game under head coach Tommy West. Let’s take a quick review: • A bowl looked like a distant dream after a 2-4 start to the season. • The schedule took on a major shift when the Sept. 8 game at Arkansas State was postponed due to inclement weather. The contest was moved to Sept. 27, making the Tigers play three games in 11 days. • After losing the first two games in the rugged three-games-in-11-days stretch, the Tigers suffered an even greater loss on the night of Sept. 30 when defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was shot and later died. After two days of emotional outpouring, the Memphis players took the field arm-in-arm for its Conference USA home opener versus Marshall. The Tigers won the game 24-21. • With a home loss to Middle Tennessee in midOctober, bowl hopes were all but lost with three of the next four C-USA games on the road. • As was the trend in the Coach West era, the Tigers did not fold. Memphis won all three league road games (at Rice, Tulane and Southern Miss) in that stretch and repositioned itself in the bowl picture. • The Tigers sealed the bowl invitation with back-to-back home wins over UAB and SMU to close the regular season. So, you ask, what did the Tigers accomplish? • A winning record for the fourth time in the last five years (2003-07). The last time Memphis did that was from 1973-77 when the Tigers had five-straight winning seasons. • Six conference wins, the most league victories in school history. • A second-place C-USA East Division finish, the second in three years. • A fourth bowl in the last five years, the first time for a stretch like that in school history. Granted, the bowl setback to Florida Atlantic put a small bitter taste in the mouths of the Tigers, but Memphis’ “never-give-up” attitude kept them in the game until the end despite several injuries that sidelined key Tigers. Kicker Matt Reagan left the game with a concussion and receiver Maurice Jones was sidelined with a dislocated hip. In addition, T.J. Pitts broke his ankle and quarterback Martin Hankins was knocked out of the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Before a crowd of 25,146 at the Louisiana Superdome, seniors Martin Hankins and Joseph Doss went out in style with solid performances. Hankins was 25-of-39 passing for 281 yards and three scores, while Doss rushed for 91 yards on 20 carries and caught a team-high five passes for 42 yards. With his 281 yards passing, Hankins set the Memphis single-season mark with 3,220 yards. He also set season records for completions (261) and

touchdowns (25). For his career, Hankins totaled 5,770 yards, 43 touchdowns and 487 completions — all second to Danny Wimprine. In the game, Hankins’ favorite targets were Carlos Singleton (4 receptions/63 yards/1 TD) and Duke Calhoun (4 catches/40 yards). With their receptions, both Singleton and Calhoun extended streaks. Singleton extended his streak to 21 games with a reception, while Calhoun caught a pass in all 24 of his collegiate games. After a first quarter warm-up with Florida Atlantic leading 17-7, the teams combined for 26 points in the second period. Two Joey Mack field goals kept the Tigers close, but the Owls answered with touchdowns for a 30-13 lead. However, Memphis closed the gap to 30-20 just before the half when Hankins hit Earnest Williams from 19 yards out. Following halftime, Memphis cut further into the Florida Atlantic lead. A Hankins-to-Singleton six-yard scoring connection sliced the Owl lead to 30-27 with 9:30 left in the third quarter. However, Florida Atlantic scored the final two touchdowns for the 44-27 final. Tiger 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.

C-USA AND THE BCS The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a five-game arrangement for post-season college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other games. The bowl games participating are the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. In addition, a BCS National Championship Game will be played at one of the bowl sites. The Conference USA champion (along with the champions of the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference) will have an automatic berth in one of the five bowls if, and only if: ``` It is a Conference Champion; and Either... ``` It is ranked in the top 12 of the BCS Standings on Bowl Selection Sunday; ``` It is ranked in the top 16 of the BCS Standings on Bowl Selection Sunday, and its ranking in the BCS Standings is better than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowl games. SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 13 years, 115 student-athletes earned national ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors, while 405 were named All-District. In addition, more than 15,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through its partnerships with ESPN Inc. and CBS College Sports Television Networks (formerly CSTV). The league entered into long-term agreements with both ESPN and CBS College Sports, which, combined, provides C-USA with significant national and regional exposure for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. Additionally, the CBS College Sports agreement includes video-on-demand, Internet, broadband, national over-the-air and satellite radio, and wireless distribution

C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY The conference’s footprint is concentrated with 12 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. More than 1.1 million living alumni represent C-USA schools across the nation. With a renewed commitment to community involvement, the conference has begun development of several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. GOVERNANCE Along with the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC, Conference USA is one of the seven conferences having significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors. R. Gerald Turner of SMU currently serves as chair of the Board. A PROUD HISTORY; A PROMISING FUTURE Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on

April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003.

After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, C-USA began a new chapter in 2005-06 when its current membership came together to form the new look of the league. Since its formation, C-USA has established a strong foundation, an identity and a history that reflects the league’s national presence. Thirteen years of remarkable history has reinforced the league’s position in collegiate athletics, setting the course for the next decade and beyond.

LOU GROZA AWARD

HISTORY

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

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

Joe Allison is the third-leading scorer in school history with 263 points. He holds the school record for field goals in a season with 23 in 1992.

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 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. 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 263 points and second in field goals made with 51 and in PATs made with 110. He held the No. 1 spots until Gostkowski completed his four-year career in 2005 and claimed the top spot in those categories.

RETIRED JERSEYS Since the University of Memphis first fielded an intercollegiate football team in 1912, only four jerseys have been retired. Those jerseys - 8, 30, 83 and 20 - were worn by four outstanding individuals who helped make Tiger football what it is today. The latest jersey to be retired was that of All-American tailback DeAngelo Williams, who was honored during the 2006 season.

CHARLES GREENHILL Charles Greenhill was called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most talented football player ever to come out of Memphis, Tennessee.â&#x20AC;? 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.

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.

HISTORY

DAVE CASINELLI Dave Casinelli, who was Memphis’ all-time leading rusher until recently when 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 196063 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.

ISAAC BRUCE Isaac Bruce came to the Memphis football team as a wide receiver in 1992. The 6-0 junior college transfer made an immediate impact on the Memphis football squad. Coupled with junior college quarterback Steve Matthews, Bruce helped give the Tigers 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 season for the Rams and has amassed over 14,000 receiving yards and 84 touchdowns. In 2008, Bruce was signed by the San Francisco 49ers. His Memphis jersey was retired in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Field on October 4, 2003.

BURLEY BOWL • 1956 MEMPHIS ST. COLLEGE 32 EAST TENNESSEE ST. 12 Memorial Stadium (8,000) November 22, 1956 JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - In November of 1956, Memphis State College received its second bowl bid in school history, but this time University officials accepted the invitation and the team traveled to East Tennessee to participate in its first post-season event. In 1938, the Tigers received an invitation to play in the Prune Bowl in California and asked bowl officials for a financial guarantee to help cover the cost of transporting the squad across country. When the guarantee did not come through, Memphis opted to stay home. In November of 1956, the Memphis squad finished the season with a record of 4-4-1 under head coach Ralph Hatley. Andy Nelson and Cotton Clifford served as team captains that year and helped Memphis to victories in two of the final three games of the season. During that three-week span, the Tigers had back-to-back shutouts, defeating Western Kentucky 42-0 and Arkansas State 34-0. November 22 was a cold and blustery day in Johnson City, Tenn. Not suited for football or any other outdoor event, the day was highlighted by a light snow fall and spitting rain and sleet. East Tennessee State College tallied the game’s first points on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Howard Tippett to halfback Bob Lindsey

during the first period. The point after failed, as did most that day, and the Buccaneers led 6-0. The Tigers answered the ETSC score before the first quarter ended. Bob Schmidt blasted into the end zone from two yards out and following the missed PAT by Memphis, the score was tied 6-6. Neither team could do much to defeat the weather the remainder of the first half, although the Tigers penetrated several times into Buccaneer territory in the second quarter. Memphis even moved down to the East Tennessee State 1-yard line before

a fumble halted the drive. The first half ended with the score knotted at 6-all. It was not until the second half that the Tigers got their offense going. After being held to 6-all in the first half by a battling bunch of Buccaneers, Memphis shook off the effects of the biting cold 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.

PASADENA BOWL • 1971 MEMPHIS STATE SAN JOSE STATE Rose Bowl (104,091) December 18, 1971

28 9

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

McGeorge added the point after, and Memphis had the lead 7-3. The Tiger defense gained an air of confidence and stopped San Jose State on the ensuing series. Following a short Trojan punt, the Tigers took over at midfield. With quarterback Al Harvey leading the offensive attack, the Tigers moved into scoring position. A 13-yard pass from Harvey to Dornell Harris, who was named the offensive player of the game, and runs by Harvey, Skeeter Gowen and Paul Wilson set up the Tigers at the 9-yard line. Harvey went the final nine yards on a run around right end. The 65-yard drive early in the second period gave Memphis a 14-3 lead at intermission. The Tigers kicked off to begin the second half. San Jose State couldn’t move but got a second chance when

Gowen fumbled on Memphis’ first offensive play. Bill Brown recovered on the Tiger 24 and a 14-3 Memphis lead looked very precarious. The Spartans moved all the way to the Tiger 2-yard line. But on fourth down, the Tiger defense buckled down by meeting running back Joe Hicks at the line of scrimmage and slamming him to the Rose Bowl turf to end San Jose’s only real threat. The third period featured strong defensive play by both teams and when the quarter came to an end, the score remained 14-3 in favor of the Tigers. The final stanza opened with San Jose in control of the ball, but an interception and 27-yard return by the Tigers’ David Johnson, his second of the game, put the ball at the Spartans’ 18-yard line. Memphis tailback Gowen wasted no time in increasing the Memphis lead as he raced 18 yards to the end zone on the first play from scrimmage. The scoreboard read 21-3 in favor of the Tigers. Lightning struck immediately for Memphis. On the Spartans’ first play following the Tiger score, back Larry Lloyd fumbled and Memphis’ Carl Taylor recovered. Five plays later, Tiger fullback Clifton Taylor punched the ball in from the 1-yard line and Tiger fans rejoiced with a 28-3 lead and just 10 minutes remaining to play. Frustration mounted for San Jose State as the Memphis defense continued its strong play. Forced to pass the ball with time running out, Tiger cornerback Walter Daggett picked off the Tigers’ fourth interception of the afternoon to halt yet another Trojan drive. San Jose’s only touchdown was set up when a pass from center sailed over punter John Kidwell’s head and was recovered at the Memphis 20-yard line. A quarterback keeper by Brad Metheany with 36 seconds left in the contest got the Spartans their only touchdown. The extra point attempt was wide to the left. The victory over San Jose State marked the second bowl win for the Tigers in school history. The game also marked the end of an era in Tiger football history. Head coach Billy J. Murphy stepped down from his coaching position following the bowl win and dedicated his time to being the University’s athletic director. The former Marine compiled a record of 91-44-1 over his 14 seasons as head coach at Memphis.

NEW ORLEANS BOWL • 2003 MEMPHIS 27 NORTH TEXAS 17 Louisiana Superdome (69,767) December 16, 2003 NEW ORLEANS, La. - The nation’s longest bowl drought of 32 years ended in a big way for the University of Memphis. The Tigers, which had not participated in a bowl game since 1971, received a bid to the 2003 New Orleans Bowl to face Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas after a stellar 8-4 season. The city of Memphis was electrified. Excitement abounded and Tiger faithful began buying tickets and preparing for the trip to the “Big Easy.” Playing in the first bowl game of the 2003 postseason and before a national television audience on ESPN, the Tigers were challenged to stop the nation’s top running back in Patrick Cobbs of UNT. And Memphis would have to succeed without the services of its top tailback, DeAngelo Williams. Following three days of fun and practice, game day finally arrived on December 16. Memphis won the coin toss and deferred until the second half, giving the Mean Green the ball. UNT gave the ball to Cobbs six times on the opening drive, but were forced to call on kicker Nick Bazaldua when the drive stalled at the Tiger 30-yard line. Bazaldua booted a 47-yard field goal for the UNT 3-0 lead. But this night belonged to the bowl-hungry Tigers and the North Texas lead was short-lived. After U of M receiver Chris Kelley returned the kickoff to the Memphis 34-yard line, junior quarterback and New Orleans native Danny Wimprine took over. When rushes by Darron White and Derron Parquet failed to gain yardage, Wimprine went up top and connected with wideout Darren Garcia for 63 yards to the UNT 6-yard line. Three plays later, Wimprine kept the ball and raced seven yards into the end zone for the go-ahead score. The Tiger defense, having had a taste of the North Texas offense, returned to the field determined to shut down the Mean Green. Three plays later, punter Brad Kadlubar kicked the ball back to the Tigers. But possible disaster struck on the Tigers’ next possession as tailback Parquet was knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury. Memphis was forced to put the ball in the hands of walk-on back LaKendus Cole to win the game.

Midway through the second quarter, North Texas was forced to punt and the Memphis offense got the ball at the Memphis 24. Powered by the running of Cole and the passing of Wimprine, the Tigers drove the ball to the UNT 10-yard line before Wimprine found Kelley in the end zone for the team’s second score of the game. Stephen Gostkowski added the extra point, and the Tiger lead was 14-3. Lightning soon struck again. On the ensuing kickoff, Memphis’ Shaka Hill stripped the ball from returner Kevin Moore and Cato Mott recovered at the UNT 8-yard line. After three plays, Gostkowski was called on and connected on a 21-yard field goal. The Tigers went to the locker room with a 17-3 halftime lead. The third stanza of the game became a defensive battle, and both teams were unable to move the ball until the two-minute mark. The Mean Green, starting near midfield, marched 58 yards in six plays with Cobbs going the final 35 yards for

their first touchdown of the night. Suddenly the score read Memphis 17, North Texas 10 as the third quarter ended. With 12:28 left in the contest, Memphis regained the ball at its own 38-yard line. Wimprine hit receiver Darron White for 20 yards, and fullback Robert Douglas gained three on his first carry of the game. After a facemask penalty against UNT, Cole had gains of two yards and 14 yards to the Mean Green 5-yard line. On second-and-goal, the sophomore from Houston High in Memphis burst up the middle for the touchdown and a 24-10 lead. It was Cole’s first collegiate touchdown and gave Memphis an insurmountable lead. North Texas fought hard, and with 2:26 left in the game, scored again on Cobb’s run of two yards. But the Tigers immediately pushed the Mean Green down field for another score. This one iced the victory that had been so long awaited. With Cole gaining yards on the ground and Wimprine connecting with receivers Mario Pratcher and John Doucette, Memphis moved within field goal range, and Gostkowski brought on the celebration with a 42-yard kick. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the players gave head coach Tommy West the traditional cooler bath and then carried their coach onto the field on their shoulders. New Orleans Bowl director Ron Maestri presented the Tigers the championship trophy at midfield, and Wimprine was named the game’s MVP. LaKendus Cole was presented the game ball by Coach West after rushing for 62 yards and one score in a reserve role. Memphis completed the 2003 season with a record of 9-4, marking the best finish by a Tiger team since the 1963 season.

the third period. P.J. Pope aided the Falcons’ cause with 151 rushing yards on 28 carries and two scores. The offensive fireworks started almost from the opening kickoff. After Bowling Green held the Tigers on their first possession, the Falcons took over on their own 41. Nine plays later, Pope found the end zone from a yard out for a 7-0 Bowling Green lead. However, the Falcons were not done. On the ensuing kickoff, Bowling Green pulled some trickery out of the playbook early with an onsides kick. The Falcons recovered the kick, and the Bowling Green offense was back in business. Jacobs directed a four-play, 52-yard drive in only 45 seconds to give the Falcons a 14-0 lead just over five

minutes into the contest. The score came when Jacobs connected with Charles Sharon from 18 yards out. Memphis got its second possession of the game and took little time cutting the Bowling Green lead in half. The Tigers went 80 yards in seven plays, and the drive culminated in a Wimprine-to-John Doucette 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. He has 4,062 yards which is No. 1 on the Tiger career rushing list. The 100-yard GMAC Bowl performance was the 24th 100-yard rushing game of his career.

MOTOR CITY BOWL • 2005 MEMPHIS AKRON Ford Field (50,616) December 26, 2005

38 31

DETROIT, Mich. - It was the holiday season, and the Memphis Tiger football team gave its fans a Merry Christmas – even though it came a day later. Behind a DeAngelo Williams 238-yard rushing performance and three Stephen Gostkowski field goals, the Tigers posted their second postseason victory in three seasons with a 38-31 win over Akron in the 2005 Motor City Bowl. The game was played at Ford Field, the site of the NFL’s 2006 Super Bowl in early February. Williams, who was named the Motor City Bowl MVP, compiled his bowl record-setting 238 yards on 31 carries and scored three touchdowns. Gostkowski hit field goals of 32, 25 and 50 yards, and the 50-yard effort set a Motor City Bowl mark. The way the game started gave no indication it would end up being a 38-31 shootout. The Memphis offense sputtered at the start, and the Tigers relied on their defense and punter Michael Gibson’s foot. The Tiger defense allowed the Zips only three points, despite having two first-quarter drives deep in Memphis territory. Akron got the field goal on its second drive, but on the first trip across the 50 yard line, the Zips’ series was halted at the Memphis 25 when Tim Goodwell and Rod Smith stopped Brett Biggs on 4th-and-1. Gibson played just as important a role in the first quarter with two long punts – 51 and 49 yards – that pinned Akron inside its own 10 yard line both times. After watching the defense keep the Tigers in the game in the first quarter, the Memphis offense got on track in the second frame. Williams, who gained only 19 yards in the first quarter, picked it up on the Tigers’ first scoring drive with 34 yards on the ground. Tiger quarterback Maurice Avery also found his groove in the second quarter, hitting Ernest Williams on a 42-yard strike to the Akron 23. Four plays later, Gostkowski connected on a 32-yard field goal to tie the contest at 3-all. The Tigers kept it going. The defense held the Zips to three-and-out on their next series, and the Memphis offense continued to roll. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Avery found his target in Ryan Scott for a 50-yard gain to the Akron 2 yard line. Williams then pushed the ball across the goal line for the first Memphis lead of the

game. After Gostkowski’s PAT, the Tigers led 10-3. With just over four minutes left before halftime, Akron got the ball with an opportunity to cut into the Tiger lead, but it didn’t happen. The Tiger offense took over with 2:30 on the clock and took advantage of another scoring chance. After two rushes netted a minus-3 yards, Avery took back to the air and again hit Scott for a long gain – this time, 48 yards – to the Akron 27. From there, the Tigers moved the ball to the Zips 7, where Gostkowski hit his second field goal for a 13-3 Tiger halftime lead. The early portion of the second half looked no different for the Akron offense. Stymied by the Tigers in the first half, the Zips were unable to get past their own 40 yard line on the first two possessions. Aided by two Akron defensive pass interference calls, the Tigers moved down to the Akron 2, where Williams scored his second touchdown for a 20-3 Memphis lead. With only three minutes left in the third quarter and down 20-3, the Zips scored via the air on the ensuing drive. Zips quarterback Luke Getsy was 6-of-7 passing for 80 yards on the series that resulted in a 46-yard scoring

strike to Jabari Arthur to cut the Tiger lead to 20-10. The game moved into the fourth quarter, and the shootout began. Gostkowski got it started with a 50-yard field goal for a 23-10 Tiger lead. Akron responded with a quick three-play, 80-yard drive to cut the Memphis lead to 23-17. The big play was a Getsy-to-Biggs 72-yard scoring strike. The Tigers then answered with their own big play in the form of Williams. With the Zips closing in and also gaining momentum, Memphis’ All-America running back took a handoff and raced 67 yards to the Akron 2. On the next play, Williams scored his third touchdown. Avery added the two-point conversion for a 31-17 Memphis advantage. The Tigers added another score on an Ernest Williams 5-yard run to increase the lead to 38-17 with only 6:38 left. However, the Zips did not quit. Akron scored two touchdowns in under six minutes to pull to within seven at 38-31 with only 50 seconds left. The Zips’ first drive took nearly five minutes, and ended when Getsy hit Domenik Hixon from 14 yards out. The Akron special teams then executed a perfect on-side kick, and recovered the ball at midfield with 1:45 left. One minute later, Getsy connected with Arthur for a 19-yard touchdown pass to cut the Tiger lead to 38-31. The Zips tried their magic one more time, but this time, the Tiger special teams recovered the on-side kick, and Memphis ran out the clock for the win. Goodwell, who received the UAW Lineman Award, led the Tiger defense with 12 tackles, five TFLs and two sacks.

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

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

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

1938

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. Undefeated Tigers 1929 8-0-2 Zach Curlin 1938 10-0-0 Allyn McKeen 1963 9-0-1 Billy J. Murphy

THE NFL: TIGERS PLAYING AT THE NEXT LEVEL

DEFENSIVE BACK U Since the 1970s, Memphis has sent 20 DBs to the NFL, including BRANDON MCDONALD who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2007. In fact, the U of M became known as Defensive Back U or DBU for the number of secondary players who were active in the league in the late 90s. At the start of the 2007 season, Memphis had four active DBs in the NFL – the most of any C-USA team.

STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI, who was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2006 draft, is the first place-kicker that Memphis has sent to the NFL. He was the first kicker drafted in 2006.

HISTORY

1910S ``` The doors of West Tennessee State Normal School opened at 10:00 AM on the morning of September 10, 1912. Less than 300 students were enrolled in the twoyear teachers school located in rural Shelby County. The campus consisted of three buildings that were erected at a cost of $450,000. President Seymore Mynders presided over a faculty that consisted of 25 teachers, including a young manual education instructor named Clyde Wilson. ``` On October 5, 1912, West Tennessee State Normal School played its first football game at Red Elm Park, home of the Memphis Turtles baseball team. The game pitted the Normals of WTSNS against MUS. Game time was slated for 2 p.m., and trollies from downtown Memphis were decorated with blue and gray ribbons, the official colors of the new school located in Shelby County. The Normals had put together a team that consisted of numerous Messick High School stars, including Brian and Don Hanley, and the Howerton brothers. Clyde Wilson, who had volunteered to coach the football boys, led his charges to a 0-0 draw with the powerful MUS squad. The game featured a 16-minute first half and a 12-minute second stanza. Thus started Tiger football. ``` West Tennessee State Normal School’s first football victory came in the 1912 season when the Tudors defeated Bolton Agricultural College 13-0. ``` West Tennessee State Normal School opened practice for the 1913 season on Sept. 17, 1913, and later that same day, President Seymore Mynders died and a grieving campus thought little of the football season at hand. In the first game of the year, the Blue and Gray lost 67-0 to Memphis High School, and the team never really recovered. Had it not been for a 13-0 win over Somerville High, WTSNS would have gone through the 1913 season winless. ``` Two assistant coaches were added in 1914 when the Normals faced the school’s first eight-game schedule. Hubert Dennison and Hugh Chandler were named to assist Clyde Wilson. On Sept. 14, 1914, The Commercial Appeal ran a photograph of Coach Wilson, marking the first time a photo involving Normal football appeared in local print. ``` In 1915, Cull Cullpepper joined the faculty at WTSNS after a brilliant football career at Auburn. With Cullpepper assisting Wilson, expectations were high for the coming football season. Normal opened the season with two disappointing losses to the Arkansas Aggies and Memphis HS, but then swamped Somerville HS 75-0. A close loss to MUS was followed by three victories to close out the campaign. After the final game, there was a spontaneous student parade, “with banners flying and with Normal yells and songs rending the atmosphere.” Several students, in their exuberance, shouted, “We fight like Tigers!” A new nickname was born. ``` Tom Shea, a renowned football player from the powerful Vanderbilt team, took over as head coach in 1916 and immediately led his team to the greatest barn burner in the school’s history. On October 14, 1916, West Tennessee State Normal School defeated Somerville HS 115-0 in the highest scoring game in Memphis history. In that contest, Elton McClure, a halfback, scored six touchdowns. Hugh Washburn, Rollin Wilson and Charlie DeSaussure tallied three scores each, while Lacy Branson, Bob Berry and John McDougle each crossed the goal line once. Washburn kicked seven PATs. ``` The 1919 season found Bic Campbell become head football coach but early season injuries took Hugh

In 1912, the University of Memphis opened with three school buildings which were constructed in rural east Shelby County. The total cost of construction was $450,000. Pictured above is the administration building which still houses administrative offices today. Washburn, H.K. Grantham, Bob Berry, Rollin Wilson and Pete McIntosh. None were able to return for the 1919 campaign and the final team record was 3-4-0.

1920S ``` The 1920s opened with West Tennessee State Normal football falling to its lowest ebb. The 1920 squad posted a record of 0-5-0 and in fact scored only one touchdown on the season, that coming in the final contest of the year. So dismal was the football atmosphere that it appeared Normal would abandon the game in 1921. ``` The 1921 season opened with no coach and the realization that fi ve starters had transferred to Union University. Rollin Wilson, a stunt pilot who was twice an All-Memphis selection at quarterback during his playing days for Normal, volunteered to coach the team. Wilson trained the young players and put together an amazing 4-5-1 record. Following the season, President A.A. Kincannon decided to employ a full-time athletic director and coach. The job was given to Lester Barnard. ``` With John Barnhill playing center, the 1922 team won five games, the most victories in a single season since the school’s inception. Barnhill would go on to become a renowned head coach at Arkansas and Tennessee. Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville was named in his honor. ``` The “high school era” ended in 1923 for West Tennessee State Normal School. From 1923 on, WTSNS would play only college teams and no longer would high school teams be accepted as opponents. Coach Barnard instilled the Tiger spirit in every man and each pregame prayer concluded with the whispered statement “Every Man A Tiger.” Barnard left Memphis in 1923 to become the head coach at Central Michigan Normal College. Thus began the Zach Curlin era. ``` Zachery Henry Curlin became the athletic director and head coach at West Tennessee State Normal School in the fall of 1924. He remained with the Tigers as football coach and athletic director for 14 years and continued to serve the institution until his retirement in 1960. Curlin had been a standout football player at Vanderbilt and came to the Normals with high recommendations. ``` The downtown newspapers began to use the nickname “The Tigers” more and more prior to the 1925 season. However, in 1925 the name of the school was changed from West Tennessee State Normal School to West Tennessee State Teachers College and publications began referring to the football team as the “Teachers or Tudors.” The Tiger nickname would not return for 15 years. ``` Under the direction of captain Graham Crawford, the 1927 Normals lost just two games, while capturing wins

over Arkansas State College, Will Mayfield, Delta State College, Bethel, Lambuth and Arkansas A&M. ``` West Tennessee State Teachers College joined its first conference, the Mississippi Valley Conference, which included UT-Martin Junior College, Sunfl ower Junior College, Bethel, Delta State, Murray Normal, Lambuth and Little Rock College. ``` Allyn McKeen, who was practicing law in Memphis, volunteered to assist Curlin with the team in 1929. McKeen brought a more modern version of football to West Tennessee State Teachers College, 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 the locals won the game, 20-0, before 1,500 fans.

1930S ``` The 1930s opened with the Teachers again winning the Mississippi Valley Conference championship with a 6-3-1 record. In a runaway game against Arkansas State College, Sam Johnson scored five touchdowns and kicked seven PATs to lead the Teachers to a 73-0 victory. ``` In 1935, West Tennessee State Teachers College left the Mississippi Valley Conference and joined the SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association) along with Middle Tennessee State College, Louisiana College, Delta State College, Troy State Teachers College, TPI (Tennessee Tech), Union University and Murray State Normal. ``` After an 0-9-0 record in 1936, Curlin stepped down as head football coach to devote his attention to his job as intramural director. Allyn McKeen was brought back to become head coach, and he immediately hired a friend from Tennessee as his assistant line coach. That assistant was Cecil C. “Sonny” Humphreys. In an effort to increase a very small athletic budget, each faculty member pledged

a week’s salary to support the athletic program. ``` In 1937, West Tennessee State Teachers College had five buildings, 698 students and an annual budget of $56,000. ``` The 1938 season became WTSTC’s only undefeated and untied campaign in the school’s history. After posting a perfect 10-0-0 record, the Associated Press in New York (November 21, 1938) declared WTSTC as the nation’s scoring champions with San Jose State second. McKeen’s Teachers were invited to play San Jose State in the Prune Bowl in California, but due to a limited budget, school officials asked for a financial guarantee before taking the team to California. The guarantee never came and the boys from Memphis stayed home in 1938. ``` Allyn McKeen did not return as coach in 1939. He was hired by Mississippi State College as head football coach and has since been enshrined in the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame for his accomplishments at the two schools. Cecil Humphreys was named head coach at a salary of $200 per month.

1940S ``` West Tennessee State Teachers College became Memphis State College in 1941. ``` Ed Molinski, a three-time all-American at the University of Tennessee, became an assistant for Humphreys in 1941 and helped guide the team to seven wins. However, the winds of war loomed in the not too distant future. ``` On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and on the morning of December 8, 1941, C.C. Humphreys joined the FBI, accepting a position in counterintelligence. Most of the players enlisted in the armed forces after the 1942 season and football was disbanded until the 1947 season. ``` When football returned to Memphis State’s campus in 1947, Cecil C. Humphreys was hired as athletic 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 29-25 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 5yard line. So confident was Tiger quarterback James Earl Wright in his ability to score that he called a two-point conversion play to try and gain the touchdown. Wright put the burden of scoring on his own shoulders. He took the snap and sprinted to his right. When he spotted an opening in the Alabama defense, Wright dove for the end zone. “I landed three feet deep into the end zone, but the closest official had turned to get out of my way,” said Wright. “Finally, the official who was furthermost from the play, came in and spotted the ball at the one inch line and gave it to Alabama.” The game prompted Coach Bryant to say...”Wright is too good to play for anybody but the University of Alabama.”

1960S

181

``` 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

HISTORY

Dave Casinelli was a star player in the early 1960s. 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 fi nally reached the mainstream of college football. With a record of 4-1 to start the 1962 season, the Tigers and their fans traveled to Scott Field in Starkville, Miss., anticipating that first win against an SEC opponent. According to the Columns...”The Maroons scored on a pass play but this proved to be the only flaw in the Memphis State defense. Charles Killett tied the score from the two yard line and Russ Vollmer added the conversion. Vollmer broke the game open with a 73-yard kickoff return to set up his own touchdown. A key interception by John Bramlett set up Dave Casinelli’s slashing touchdown. Vollmer ended the scoring with a quarterback sneak for another score”. Thousands of fans and students from Memphis, sensing the victory, rushed the field at the end of the game to tear down the goal posts. A great melee developed between fans of the two schools and fists and cowbells flew intermittently on the field for an hour before police could restore order. The win was touted as the greatest in Memphis State football history and helped set the stage for the 1963 season. The Tigers finished the 1962 season ranked 17th in the final poll. ``` It had been 24 years since a Tiger football team experienced an undefeated season. But 1963 turned out to be one of those seasons that dreams are made of. With opponents like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Tulsa, Louisville and Houston, no one expected the Tigers to go through the campaign without a loss. After opening the season with a win over Southern Miss, the stage was set for the Memphis State-Ole Miss match up at Crump Stadium in Memphis. The Rebels were ranked No. 3 in the nation, and 31,650 fans packed the stadium for the contest. The game was described by Charles Gillespie of The Commercial Appeal as...”the first great shock of the 1963 intercollegiate football season. The two teams offered no quarter and none was given.” The Rebel team had not been shut out in 48 consecutive games, the Tigers in 23 games. However, the two teams battled to a 0-0 deadlock, marking the first time that Memphis State had not been beaten by the Rebels. Memphis State’s John

Fred Ribilio was named the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Week for his play. ``` The second great game of the 1963 season came against another SEC opponent, the Bulldogs of Mississippi State University. Murphy remembered the game as the “toughest game ever played,” between the two teams. Russ Vollmer, the Tigers’ quarterback, remembered the game because of his acceptance by the Memphis State fans. It was the kind of game that gave birth to legends. Vollmer broke the opening kickoff 79 yards to set up Memphis State’s first score. In the second quarter, he returned a Mississippi State punt up the middle and cut toward the sideline, running out of bounds in the Mississippi State bench area. As he was attempting to return to the playing field, an over zealous Mississippi State player hit Vollmer with a “flying tackle.” It knocked him over the bench and down a concrete stairwell that led to the dressing rooms under the Crump Stadium stands. The fall injured Vollmer’s back and he was rushed to Methodist Hospital’s Emergency Room, which was located next to Crump Stadium. Mississippi State moved to a 10-9 lead at halftime. Vollmer was found to have no serious injuries and returned to the Tiger 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 was named The Football News National Coach of the Year. ``` The first major bowl bid (excluding the Prune Bowl offer in 1938) came as a result of the undefeated season. The Sun Bowl invited the Tigers to play in Texas. However, contact had also been made by the wealthier Gator Bowl in Florida, and the team and coaches voted to take the Gator Bowl bid when it came. The bid never came and one of the best major college teams in the country sat at home in 1963. ``` One of the most unusual events in college football occurred in 1964. Memphis State always held dates as late as possible in order to schedule SEC opponents. As the 1964 season drew nearer, the Tigers found themselves with just nine games. Athletic Director Eugene Lambert discovered that Southern Miss, already on the Tigers’ schedule for one game, also had just nine games. Thus came one of the most unusual arrangements in modern collegiate football. Contracts were signed to play a second game during the same season between the two teams. The first was to be played in Memphis and the second in Jackson, Miss. Unfortunately, Southern Miss won both games 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. ``` Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium opened on September 16, 1965, and served as the new home for the Tiger football team. The stadium was built at a cost of $3.7 million dollars and was operated by the Memphis Park Commission. ``` In 1965, Memphis State took a 5-4 record to Quantico, Va., with the greatest confidence of icing a respectable 6-4 season against the Marines of Quantico. Lore has it that Memphis sportscaster and Voice of the Tigers Jack Eaton made a comment about “those clowns from Quantico” over the air, and local marines and vets flashed the word to Virginia - perhaps to the Pentagon - and the best football players serving in the Marine Corps at the time were transferred to Quantico, some arriving the night before the game, to face the Tigers. A festive group of Memphis State alumni from the Washington area drove down to see the game, but the grizzled marine sergeants on the other side of the field, some dressed in clown suits, made the most noise as they alternately beat a huge drum, cheered and consumed kegs of beer. The pride of the corps persevered 20-14. ``` Billy Fletcher was named the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Week, the Associated Press Back of the Week and United Press National Player of the Week

The Tigers were ranked 15th by Associated Press on October 19, 1965. After the season, Dr. Lambert resigned as athletic director, and Murphy assumed that role as well as head football coach. ``` The 1966 season concluded with the Tigers playing the 11th-ranked University of Houston Cougars in the Astrodome. The game marked the first ever indoor contest for the Tigers. Memphis State won the game 14-13. ``` The shot-heard-around-Memphis came in 1967 when the Tigers opened the campaign with the Rebels of Ole Miss. The Liberty Bowl was packed with 50,414 fans on September 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

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-andhome contests. The Tigers lost to Tennessee 24-17, but claimed the Missouri Valley Championship and Murphy was named the Conference Coach of the Year. ``` Louis Fernandez was selected to play in the Shrine North-South All-Star Game after the 1969 season, and Danny Pierce was picked to play in the East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco. The Tigers were ranked 20th in the nation in the final United Press poll, and David Berrong and Steve Jaggard were tied for third in the nation in interceptions with eight each. Offensive tackle Bob Parker was selected to UPI’s and The Football News All-America teams. Berrong was tabbed by the Associated Press and the Central Press Association on their All-America squads.

``` The Tigers opened the decade of the 1970s with Paul “Skeeter” Gowen fi nishing 11th in the nation in rushing. The team compiled a 6-4 record and brought the five-year won loss record to 33-15. ``` In 1971, Memphis State claimed the Missouri Valley Conference championship, and for the first time since the 1954 Burley Bowl, earned that elusive bowl invitation. As conference champion, the Tigers were invited to the Pasadena Bowl to take on San Jose State. MSU won the game 28-9, but one note not covered in the game stories was a run by tailback Skeeter Gowen in the fourth period. After breaking free around the end, he scooted over the goal line, hotly pursued by a gigantic Spartan lineman. In the end zone, Gowen slowed to stop. But the lineman kept coming. Gowen trotted out of the end zone. So did the lineman. At that point the little Memphis back raced up the stadium steps into the seating area. When the big lineman finally gave up, Gowen sat down in the spectator seats, placed the ball in his lap and caught his breath. ``` On February 5, 1972, Billy J. Murphy, the winningest coach in Tiger football history, announced that he was giving up coaching to devote himself full-time to his job as athletic director. In his war to bring Memphis State into national prominence, Murphy amassed a 91-44-1 record. At the beginning of his final season, the Tiger coach was rated the nation’s 15th winningest football mentor. As he had promised, Murphy built a winner in five years. Enter Fred Pancoast. ``` The 11th head football coach at Memphis State was Fred Pancoast. A native of Florida and a former University of Georgia and Florida assistant coach, Pancoast found a wealth of talent among the players he inherited. He quickly changed the team’s look by adopting Dallas Cowboys style uniforms. ``` The Tigers were 5-5-1 under Pancoast in 1972, but the 1973 season contained numerous highlights, including MSU’s first win in history over Ole Miss in the state of Mississippi. Playing the Rebels in the third game of the season was not normal but in 1973, MSU had Louisville and North Texas State scheduled ahead of its nemesis from Oxford. Powered by the arm of David Fowler and the legs of Cliff Taylor and Dornell Harris, the Tigers prevailed 17-13. ``` Pancoast left Memphis State after the 1974 season to accept the head coaching position at Vanderbilt. He had posted a record of 20-12-1 in three short seasons and had gained wins over Ole Miss and Florida State among others. ``` Richard Williamson, an assistant coach at Arkansas and Alabama, was hired on January 20, 1975, to replace Pancoast. Williamson, a former wide receiver for the University of Alabama and who caught Joe Namath’s first career touchdown pass, was hired to direct the Tiger football fortunes. At 33-years-old, Williamson was one of

the youngest head coaches in the nation. A hard-nosed disciplinarian, Williamson would weather several storms during his tenure at MSU. ``` The Tigers traveled to Auburn, Ala., to play the second game of Williamson’s career. Shug Jordan was entering his final season at Auburn, and the legendary coach and his team were set to meet the Tigers. Sixthranked 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 74-0 season. What might have been, never was.

``` 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.

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. Later in the season, Tiger quarterback Lloyd Patterson was named the Associated Press Back of the Week for his play against Southern Miss, although it was Bob Orian’s 91-yard return of a Golden Eagle pass that set up the win. ``` The latter stages of the 1970s found the Tigers having up-and-down seasons, and after a disastrous 1980 campaign, Richard Williamson was notified that he would not be retained for the 1981 season. Thus ended the Williamson era at Memphis State University.

HISTORY

``` After opening the decade of the 1980s with the dismissal of Williamson, Rex Dockery, a former University of Tennessee player and the head coach at Texas Tech, was hired to direct the Tiger football fortunes. ``` In 1981, Bob Patterson was hired to replace Billy J. Murphy as athletic director. Patterson, a former Tiger offensive lineman, had come to MSU with Rex Dockery from Texas Tech. In November 1982, Charles Cavagnaro was hired to replace Bob Patterson as athletic director at Memphis State University. Cavagnaro, a graduate of MSU, had worked as a sports writer and editor of The Commercial Appeal. He had also spent time as the

general manager of the Memphis Pros of the American Basketball Association. ``` The 1981 and 1982 seasons were a struggle for Dockery and his staff. The Tigers battled to escape the noose of the nation’s longest losing streak. After gaining his first coaching victory at MSU against Georgia Tech on September 26, 1981, the Tigers dropped the next 17 consecutive games. On November 27, 1982, the Liberty Bowl erupted when the Tigers defeated Arkansas State 12-0 to break the streak. ``` The frustrations of the past two seasons exploded in the opening contest of the 1983 season. The Tigers opened against Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl and handed the Rebels their worst defeat in a game against the Tigers in the history of the series. Powered by the running of Jeff Womack and Punkin Williams, MSU knocked off Ole Miss 37-17. After losses to North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Alabama, the Tigers rebounded to win against Tulane, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Cincinnati and Louisville to finish the season as the NCAA’s second most improved team. From 1-10-0 in 1982, the boys from Memphis State had improved their record to 6-4-1 and the future looked very bright. Tragedy struck in one brief instance and what had been the best of times became the worst of times. ``` Rex Dockery, offensive coordinator Chris Faros, defensive back Charles Greenhill and pilot Glenn Jones were all killed in a plane crash in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., en route to an all-star banquet. It was the darkest moment in Tiger football annals. ``` Rey Dempsey, a Division 1-AA National Championship coach from Southern Illinois, was hired to direct the football program at MSU. His 1984 team had a .500 record at 5-5. There were wins over Mississippi State, Cincinnati, Southwestern Louisiana and a tie with nationally-ranked Florida State, but losses began to mount at the end of the season, and when the Tigers managed just a 2-7-2 ledger in 1985, Dempsey was fired and Charlie Bailey was hired as the head coach. ``` Enter Charlie Bailey and his staff for the 1986 season. A veteran of the coaching ranks at the University of Florida, Bailey’s Tigers struggled to a 1-10-0 record in 1986 with the lone victory coming at the hands of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. ``` The Tigers opened the 1987 campaign with a 16-10 win over Ole Miss and then stunned the college football world by upsetting 15th-ranked Alabama 13-10 in the Liberty Bowl. The season came to an end with MSU gaining victories over Louisville and Tulsa to post a 5-5-1 record. ``` Bailey’s Tigers gained national headlines again in 1988 by stopping 20th-ranked Florida 17-11 in Gainesville. For Bailey, it was a crowning moment in his football coaching career to return to Florida as an underdog and gain such a victory. Tailback Xavier Crawford and defensive backs Eddie Moore and Glenn Rogers Jr., led the team to the win. However, the 1988 season’s 6-5-0 record soon paled in the light of an NCAA investigation of the Tiger football program.

``` In 1991, Stobart’s Tigers again put the school’s name in headlines across the nation by beating the 14thranked Trojans of Southern Cal 24-10 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The passing of Keith Benton and the rushing of Larry Porter aided in the monumental victory. The Tigers scored the first points of the game on a 45-yard field goal by Joe Allison. During the next three minutes, the Trojans marched 81 yards in 10 plays. Junior tailback Mazio Royster, USC’s Heisman Trophy candidate, did most of the damage in the drive, but it was quarterback Reggie Perry who went the final 20 yards for the touchdown. After a Cole Ford field goal, Memphis trailed 10-3 at halftime. But the second half belonged to the boys from Memphis. On the opening drive, Benton hit wide receiver Russell Jones with a 40-yard touchdown strike and suddenly the score was tied at 10-10. Xavier Crawford and Porter began banging away on the ground in the third and fourth quarters and set up a four-yard touchdown pass from Benton to fullback Jeff Bynum to give the Tigers a 17-10 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, the Trojans bobbled the ball and it was recovered by the Tigers’ Rod Brown. Three consecutive rushes by Crawford gained the Tigers their final score of the day and provided the 24-10 margin of victory. Actress Cybill Shepherd, star of stage, screen and television, was presented the game ball since she gave the team an inspiring pregame speech in the locker room. Memphis gained wins over Mississippi State, Southern Miss and Louisville on its way to a 5-6-0 record. ``` During the 1992 and 1993 seasons, the team’s record improved to 6-5-0 and included impressive wins over the University of 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 the University of 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

With such a star quarterback and receiver announcing their commitments with the Tigers, others followed. AllState tailback Teofilo Riley of Memphis Central and Reid Hedgepeth, a stellar tight end from Christian Brothers, joined the growing list of high school players to commit to Scherer. From outside the Memphis area, the U of M gained commitments from Kevin Luttrell, a defensive end from Brentwood Academy in Nashville, and from Marcus Jack, a top running back from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Players from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, California and Texas joined the national recruiting effort, and when the ink had dried on the scholarships, Scherer and his staff had landed what most called the greatest recruiting class in school history. ``` The highlight of the 1996 season came on a sunny afternoon at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium before a record-setting crowd of 65,885. The Tigers were pitted against the No. 6 ranked Tennessee Volunteers, who held a decided 15-0 series lead. The game, which was carried by CBS TV, matched Heisman Trophy candidate Peyton Manning of Tennessee against the Tigers’ outstanding defense led by senior Tony Williams and Richard Hogans. Tennessee scored the afternoon’s first points on a twoyard run at the 3:06 mark of the first quarter. Tennessee held their 7-0 lead until the final seconds of the first half when the Tigers’ Keith Spann intercepted a Manning pass and returned it 76 yards to the Vols’ 1-yard line. Memphis quarterback Qadry Anderson then sneaked in from oneyard out to knot the score at the half.Tennessee opened the third quarter by driving 72 yards in 13 plays for the go-ahead score. But Memphis kick returner Kevin Cobb answered UT’s score with a 95-yard acrobatic return, which again tied the score at 14-14. Both teams battled

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 5920. 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. ``` In 1993, Memphis State shocked the nation by opening the season with a 45-35 victory over the nationally-ranked Bulldogs of Mississippi State University. Senior quarterback Steve Matthews completed a schoolrecord 29-of-45 pass attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns. The lefthander set Tiger records for most pass completions in a game (29) and for most attempts in a game (45). In addition, he ran for a 41-yard touchdown and finished the game with 362 yards of total offense. Matthews was named the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Week for his part in the Tiger win. The Tigers reached another milestone when they appeared on their first nationally televised broadcast against the Hurricanes of the University of Miami in the Orange Bowl. The game was carried by ESPN. Memphis had played in several regional broadcasts on ESPN and ABC, but had never played in a national broadcast. ``` The 1994 season marked the end of an era for head coach Chuck Stobart, but still found Tiger football battling for that elusive bowl bid. As a member of 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 Arkansas Razorbacks, the Tigers ran off victories against Tulane, Arkansas State and Cincinnati. Racing with East Carolina for a bid to the St. Jude-Liberty Bowl, the Tigers found themselves in Oxford, Miss., facing backyard rival Ole Miss. Over the 73 years that the contest had been waged, the Tigers had never defeated Ole Miss in Oxford. Trailing the Rebels 16-5 with just 8:26 remaining in the game, the Tigers mounted the greatest comeback in the school’s history. After a 43-yard punt return by Ryan Roskelly, Memphis drove the ball 31 yards with tailback Frank Fletcher going the final five yards for the score.

The lead had been cut to 16-11. After holding Ole Miss and forcing a punt, the Tigers mounted their final drive of the game. Quarterback Joe Borich keyed the drive, which took 4:02, with three clutch plays. On 4th-and-15 from the 31-yard line, Borich (from a shotgun set) rolled left out of the pocket, then came back right toward the sidelines where he spotted tailback Frank Fletcher slanting downfield for an 18-yard gain. On 3rd-and-8 from the 11-yard line, Borich was flushed from the pocket, couldn’t find anyone open and decided to run the ball. He gained nine yards and a first down at the Ole Miss two-yard line. With 11 seconds left, Borich called a sprint pass and found Ryan Roskelly in the corner of the end zone for the winning score. “I never saw the completion,” Borich said after the game. After dropping the final game of the season and losing the Liberty Bowl bid to East Carolina, Chuck Stobart was relieved of his duties and a search began for a new head football coach. ``` In January of 1995, Rip Scherer, the head football coach at James Madison University, was hired as the Tigers’ 20th head football coach. Scherer, who had also served as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech, Alabama and Arizona, took over at Memphis on January 13 and immediately began putting together his staff and trying to salvage recruiting. Scherer brought in Jim Pletcher (defensive coordinator), Ted Million (offensive line) and David Lockwood (wide receivers) from his staff at James Madison. He hired Keith Butler (defensive ends), Wayne Weedon (defensive line), Vic Koenning (secondary) and Maurice Knight (running backs) from the previous University of Memphis staff. Scherer then selected experienced coaches Sparky Woods (New York Jets and South Carolina) and Jim Marshall (Richmond) to come in and work with the offense. ``` On April 24, 1995, the University of Memphis football program received a major boost when it was announced that Conference USA had been officially formed. The new, all-sports conference featured Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Southern Miss, Tulane and Houston as football playing members with Alabama at Birmingham and South Florida as possible members in the near future. C-USA was further enhanced by gaining a five-year, $20 million television package with Liberty Sports Network which featured conference football over most of the nation. In addition, the Tigers also announced a deal that would televise all Tiger football games on SportSouth and on WLMT-TV in Memphis. ``` The 1996 football season will long be remembered not so much for what occurred on the field but for what was accomplished in the recruiting period. The coaching staff set out on the recruiting trail and targeted most of the top players in the Memphis area as priority recruits. In the past, many of the star players from Memphis had chosen to leave the city to play their college football for other schools. This was not the case in 1996. Several weeks before the national signing date, Westwood High School All-Americans Kenton Evans and Damien Dodson an-

HISTORY

around midfield until the six minute mark of the fourth quarter when Jeff Hall connected on a 28-yard field goal. With 6:01 left in the contest, Memphis took the kickoff and mounted a 70-yard, 12-play drive which culminated in an Anderson to Chris Powers touchdown pass to seal the Memphis victory 21-17. The Tiger defense held the final 34 seconds as Tiger fans poured over the walls and tore down the goalposts. ``` The 1998 football campaign produced a record of 2-9, but there were several bright spots encapsuled within the season. Junior tailback Gerard Arnold broke the University of Memphis single-season rushing record by gaining 1,059 yards. The 36-year-old record of 1,016 yards had been set by the late Dave Casinelli in 1962. Arnold had six 100-yard rushing games en route to breaking the record. The Lexington, Tenn., native completed the 1998 season as the nation’s 33rd-ranked running back. Arnold was named to the All-Conference USA second team as a running back. Freshman kicker Ryan White, a semi-finalist for the Lou Groza Award, became the only kicker in the nation to have a perfect year. The soccer-style kicker booted 16-of-16 field goals and 22-of-22 PATs on the season. He finished the season ranked 18th in the nation in kicking. White was named the All-Conference USA kicker and also was selected to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. ``` The 1999 season saw the fortunes of Tiger football start to climb. With new defensive coordinator John Thompson added to the staff, the defense took a new and aggressive approach to the game. After two three-

point losses to Ole Miss and Mississippi State, the Tigers gained their first win of the season over Arkansas State. With renewed enthusiasm the team left for Knoxville to take on the seventh-ranked Tennessee Volunteers, a 25-point favorite. But it was the Memphis that took the fight to the Vols. After three Ryan White field goals and an 82-yard touchdown pass from Neil Suber to Ken Coutain, the U of M found itself leading Tennessee 1610 with less than two minutes remaining in the contest. Tennessee mounted one final drive. On what appeared to be a fourth down quarterback sack by the Tiger defense, UT quarterback Tee Martin launched a “Hail-Mary” pass that was caught deep in Memphis territory. Two plays later Tennessee scored and captured a hard-fought 1716 win. The Tigers had proven to the football world that the 1999 edition was formidable. 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 Memphis head football 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 Travis 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, South Florida and Conference USA power Southern Miss

• 1932-35 • Games were still played at Hodges Field and on campus. • 1936 • The Tigers moved some of their home games to the Fairgrounds Stadium while also playing on campus. • 1937 • Half of the 1937 home season was played at the Fairgrounds and the final half of the year was spent at Crump Stadium in Midtown. • 1937-64 • The Tigers continued to play all of their home games at Crump Stadium. In 1939 the WPA built concrete stands on the north side of the field and in 1947, the WPA added the home side stands, completing the concrete facility. • 1965-present • In 1965, the City of Memphis constructed Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium (then called Memphis Memorial Stadium) as a home field for the University of Memphis. The Tigers opened the stadium versus Ole Miss on September 18, 1965.

en route to a 5-6 finish. Freshman quarterback Danny Wimprine threw for a freshman record 1,329 yards and 14 touchdowns and junior tailback Dante Brown rushed for 902 yards and 11 touchdowns. Brown set a Memphis record by scoring four rushing touchdowns in the win over Houston and his 902 yards rank as the sixth-highest total in Memphis history. ``` The Tiger football team fell short of their intended goals in 2002 and finished the season with a record of 3-9. However, numerous individual records fell as sophomore quarterback Danny 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 the All-Conference USA team and four athletes on the C-USA All-Freshman team. Center Jimond Pugh was named first team All-Conference at center, while teammates Derrick Ballard, Tony Brown and Travis Anglin were selected to the second team.

The scoreboard indicates the final outcome of the 1996 Memphis vs. Tennessee game that was televised by CBS-TV. The Tigers’ dramatic upset of the sixth-ranked Vols was voted the Upset of the Year in college football and the Tigers’ Kevin Cobb received an ESPN Espy Award for his acrobatic kickoff return for a touchdown.

Quarterback Danny Wimprine was named the MVP of the 2003 New Orleans Bowl after passing for 254 yards and one touchdown. He finished his career in 2004 with 10,215 yards passing and 81 touchdowns.

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 four-year career with almost every passing record, throwing for 10,215 yards and 81 touchdowns. Williams continued to rack up honors by the end of the season and was named an All-American by the Associated Press, SI.com and Pro Football Weekly. He also was Tennessee’s Player of the Year by the TSWA and was the Male Amateur Athlete of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. In January, he settled a lot of nerves when he announced that he would “forgo his NFL career” to come back to Memphis for his senior season. Months later, Williams was named to the 2005 Playboy 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 full-size race car was donated and appeared at all Tiger home games. The promotion served its purpose, as Williams and the Memphis Tigers gained the national spotlight. ``` But, the 2005 season was not marked by the accomplishments of just one player, but by a total team effort, as the Tigers overcame their share of adversity en route to a winning campaign. Prior to the start of the season, Memphis lost veteran receiver Mario Pratcher and defensive lineman Van Houston to knee injuries. In the first game of the season, starting quarterback Patrick Byrne suffered a broken leg on Memphis’ first offensive series against Ole Miss. Byrne was lost for the season, and redshirt freshman Will Hudgens had to take over under center. Hudgens started against Chattanooga and

HISTORY

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 to take over the same position for the Tigers. 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 Conference 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 C-USA bowl representatives. On the night of November 30, the University of Memphis received the call from the New Orleans Bowl extending an invitation to play North Texas in the fourth annual event. The game was December 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 quarterback Danny Wimprine, a New Orleans native, the Tigers dominated the Mean Green and came away with a 27-17 victory. It would be Conference 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 September 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

led the Tigers to victory, but late in the third game of the season against Tulsa, Hudgens suffered a broken leg that ended his season. And, not only was Byrne sidelined in game one, but so was senior defensive end Rubio Phillips, who suffered a knee injury. The Tigers then turned to true freshman Billy Barefield at quarterback. Barefield led Memphis to an upset victory over then-undefeated UTEP, but struggled to generate much-needed offense in a loss to UCF on the road. At that point head coach Tommy West made two key moves – DeAngelo Williams took the team on his shoulders and leading senior receiver Maurice Avery moved to quarterback. ``` The personnel changes proved to be successful as Avery led the Tigers to wins in five of the last seven games of the season, and Williams finished the season as the NCAA’s leader in rushing yards per game. Williams also became the NCAA’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards and finished his career ranked fourth all-time in NCAA history in rushing yards. While Williams scored 114 points, which was just over 30 percent of the team’s scoring in 2005, the Tigers could not have been successful without senior kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who also scored 30 percent of the points with 101. Williams was named C-USA Offensive Player of the Year for the thirdstraight season, and ultimately was drafted in the first round by the Carolina Panthers, while Gostkowski was selected the league’s Special Teams Player of the Year and was drafted in the fourth round by the New England Patriots. In addition to Williams and Gostkowski, five other Tigers were selected to the All-C-USA Team. Defensive end Marcus West, offensive guard Andrew Handy and safety Wesley Smith were picked to the first team, and punter Michael Gibson was named to the second team. Offensive lineman Brandon Pearce and receiver Maurice Jones landed on the C-USA All-Freshman Team. ``` By the end of the season, eight starters were lost for the season, but Memphis turned the negatives into positives. Because of the dedication and determination of the coaching staff and players, the Tigers received an invitation to their third-straight bowl game. The Tigers traveled to Detroit for the Motor City Bowl and defeated Akron, 38-31, on Dec. 26 in front of over 50,000 fans at Ford Field. Williams rushed for 238 yards in the game and was named the MVP, while linebacker Tim Goodwell received the UAW Lineman Award. In addition, Williams and Gostkowski were invited to the Senior Bowl; Avery played in the Hula Bowl; and Goodwell appeared in the All-American Bowl. In 2005, the Tigers had every excuse to throw in the towel, but they persevered and gave Memphis fans something to be proud of. ``` In 2006 the Tigers struggled as the injury bug struck again and wreaked havoc on the UM 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

All-American DeAngelo Williams led the nation in rushing touchdowns with 22 in 2004. He finished his career as the NCAA’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards. prior to the Tennessee game, the Tigers ended the year with a 2-10 record and snapped their bowl streak. ``` The 2006 season wasn’t without its highlights, though, as true freshman receiver Duke Calhoun showed his potential as a go-to guy, leading the Tigers in receiving yards with 681 and in receiving TDs with six. He, along with kicker Matt Reagan and defensive lineman Greg Terrell, was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Rusty Clayton, Brandon McDonald, Michael Gibson, Ryan Scott, Brandon Pearce and Blake Butler were also named to the All-C-USA Team as for the first time in league history, coaches and media picked separate teams. Brandon McDonald became the third Tiger in two years to be drafted. He was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. ``` For the third straight season, the Tigers won their season finale as the U of M traveled to El Paso, Texas for a stunning 38-19 victory over UTEP. Memphis’ defense which showed marked improvement late in the season held UTEP to just five yards rushing. Michael Grandberry was named the Tigers’ only C-USA Player of the Week after that game in which he logged 118 yards on two kick returns.

``` Perhaps the most memorable play of the 2006 season was against eventual C-USA champion Houston. With just over two minutes remaining on the clock, Brandon McDonald blocked UH’s 24-yard field goal attempt and linebacker Greg Jackson picked up the ball and ran it 80 yards for a TD that tied the game at 20 and forced overtime. Memphis fell short of the victory as UH booted a field goal to win the game, 23-20. ``` The 2007 season started off slow as the Tigers opened with a 1-3 record. And, just as the team was feeling about as down and out as possible, an unexpected tragedy brought the group together. On Sunday, Sept. 30, defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was killed in an act of violence, and the Tigers were facing a game two days later. Following a powerful campus vigil on Monday, Oct. 1, the Tiger football team set out on the emotional task of playing a game on ESPN on Tuesday against C-USA foe Marshall. Coach Tommy West and his squad entered the field arm-in-arm in a chilling showing of togetherness. The team snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Marshall and that game is sure to be remembered for years to come. ``` After a disappointing mid-season loss to Middle Tennessee, the Tigers regrouped and welcomed Martin Hankins back under center. Hankins missed the Marshall and MTSU games with a hip injury. Hankins ultimately led the Tigers to wins in five of the final six games of the season. Memphis was back in a bowl game for the fourth time in five seasons. ``` With its loss to Florida Atlantic in the New Orleans Bowl, the Tigers finished the season with a 7-6 record, which was good for the fourth-best turnaround nationally. In addition, the Tigers finished C-USA action with a 6-2 record which placed the U of M tied for second in the East Division with East Carolina. The six wins were the most victories for the Tigers since beginning C-USA play in 1996. ``` Other key wins in 2007 included a 25-9 win over UAB that marked Memphis’ first win over the Blazers since 1999; the 29-26 win over Southern Miss in Hattiesburg that marked Memphis’ second straight win over USM on the road; and the 55-52 triple overtime shootout with SMU on Memphis’ senior day that lasted four hours and 33 minutes. ``` Memphis closed out the 2007 season ranked in the top 25 in several national categories, including total offense (23rd), sack denial (10th), passing offense (13th), turnover margin (15th), fumbles lost (tied 3rd), turnovers lost (tied 10th) and fourth down conversions (11th). ``` Several Tigers received C-USA honors, including offensive lineman Andy Smith, wide receiver Duke Calhoun and linebacker Jake Kasser. Offensive lineman Dominik Riley and deep snapper Keenan Bratcher were selected to the All-C-USA Freshman Team. ``` In 2007, Memphis was the only non-BCS team to participate in a bowl game, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the NCAA baseball tournament all in the same calendar year.

than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercollegiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. He had also previously led the department at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State University from 196874. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and 1968 seasons after serving as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). An Ottawa, Ill., native, Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson is a member of the National Association of College Directors of Athletics and serves on the NCAA Leadership Council. A veteran administrator

Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing University of Memphis Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 12-plus years, the dynamic ad-

R.C. JOHNSON

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR IOWA, 1965 ministrator has structured one of the most successful coaching staffs in the history of Tiger athletics and continues to strive for athletic and academic excellence while recognizing the importance of building strong university and community ties. Since his arrival, Johnson has hired such highprofile coaches as former Clemson head football coach Tommy West, who has taken the Tigers to a bowl game in four of the last five seasons, and former New Jersey Nets and UMass head basketball coach John Calipari, who had his squad in the 2008 National Championship Game. In the last five years, six U of M coaches have earned Conference USA Coach of the Year honors, including Calipari, who earned the league’s top honor in both 2006 and 2008. Also in the last five years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 11 C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. Calipari has led his Tigers to four regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008) and three C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008). Richie Grant led the men’s soccer program to a league championship in 2004, while Brooks Monaghan piloted the women’s soccer team to a C-USA title last fall. In the spring of 2007, Kevin Robinson earned C-USA Coach of the Year honors after leading the Tigers to an outdoor track championship. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which will benefit nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, the newly-completed softball complex, an approaching redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium, a golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and a Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the

country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an alltime high of 32 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative longterm contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. In addition, the terms of the new agreement allow for options to continue through the 2021-22 academic year. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2007 and spring 2008, 315 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 35 students excelled with a 4.0 GPA. Ten teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and the athletic department as a whole is represented by a 2.8 GPA for the entire year. In May 2008, 39 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. And, under Johnson’s guidance, Memphis boasts an 89 percent graduation rate of all studentathletes who complete their eligibility at the U of M. Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was responsible for directing a Temple program with more

in Conference USA, Johnson sits on both the C-USA Bowl Committee and the league’s Finance Committee. His involvement in the Memphis community includes serving on the Memphis and Shelby County Sports Authority, and he most recently was invited to serve on the Mayor’s Stadium Committee which is charged with evaluating the feasibility of a new football stadium. In addition, he is a member of the University of Memphis President’s Council. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

ATHLETIC COMPLEX HIGHLIGHTS The University of Memphis Murphy Athletic Complex is located approximately one mile south of the institution’s main campus and serves as the home and training facility for many of the Tiger athletic teams. Facilities Director Murray Armstrong is responsible for overseeing the facility.

Facilities director Murray Armstrong is responsible for overseeing the Murphy Athletic Complex.

Opened in 1971, the Murphy Complex, the first of its kind in the Southeast, offers the Tiger football team the ability to practice outdoors on four 100-yard grass fields. If weather conditions are less than favorable, the team can move indoors to the turf room and workouts can continue.

An indoor turf practice facility at the Murphy Complex allows the Tigers to continue practicing in unfavorable conditions.

A spacious locker room for the football team includes such amenities as steam and sauna rooms as well as in-house television and stereo systems. Large equipment rooms, training rooms and weight rooms are available for all Tiger teams that work out at the Murphy Complex. The Murphy Complex underwent some major changes and renovations in 2003. The renovations were part of a $6 million facelift given to the Murphy Complex, giving Tiger student-athletes a state-of-the-art training facility.

Football Meeting Room

The renovation of the Murphy Complex includes numerous new areas for team use. The 25,000-square-foot addition houses a new locker room for the football squad. It also includes a theater-style football team meeting room, offensive and defensive meeting rooms and individual meeting rooms for position coaches.

Four 100-yard grass practice fields highlight the back side of the Murphy Complex.

The renovated training room has examination rooms for team doctors, rehabilitation and taping areas and an inground aquatic pool for rehabilitating injuries. The equipment room has been renovated with an additional laundry room to ease the burden of taking care of the equipment needs of the football, track, baseball, softball and soccer teams. Additional locker rooms have been added for the football staff, women’s soccer team and visiting teams competing at the track and field and baseball facilities. A media interview room, video room and storage room were also a part of the renovation project.

The player lounge provides the athletes with a relaxing atmosphere.

The renovation of the Billy J. Murphy Training Complex was completed in the spring of 2003.

The University of Memphis athletic training staff is secondto-none when it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, rehabilitation and preventative care. With the renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex training facility along with the Larry O. Finch Center training room, Memphis student-athletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million

TIGER ATHLETIC

TRAINING ROOM renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The new training facility, which more than doubles the size of the old training room, contains an in-ground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/her own body weight. The training room also contains new doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to the injury care and wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-theart diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries.

Dr. Barry Phillips is one of three doctors directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team.

Amos Mansfield is in his fourth year as head athletic trainer. Mansfield spent four years at Southern Miss as an assistant trainer and was the primary trainer for men’s basketball, while also assisting with football. He has two full-time certified athletic trainers, two graduate assistants and 18 student trainers. Chris Simmons is entering his third year as the trainer for men’s basketball. He makes a return to the university where he earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise and sport science in 2002. Simmons came to Memphis after working as the head trainer for the Arkansas RimRockers of the NBDL. Natasha Platt enters her fifth year as an assistant trainer for women’s athletics. Platt was a student trainer at Memphis from 1998-2000 and earned her degree from the university in 2000. The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at the University of Memphis. Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar and Dr. Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas Meriwether and Dr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Dr. Allen Sills serves as the team’s neurosurgeon. Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis studentathletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games as well as handling the day-to-day rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes. The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for the injuries, but also to assist the student-athletes in preventing injuries from occurring.

The University of Memphis athletic equipment staff is responsible for the care and maintenance of all athletic gear used by U of M athletic teams, as well as ensuring the proper fitting of all football equipment for the safety of all of the Tiger players. The 2003 renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex increased the size and space of the Memphis equipment room and offers the equipment staff the ability to clean, catalog, store and distribute equipment in a much more rapid and efficient manner. The redesign of the Murphy Athletic Complex equipment room was part of the $6 million renovation of the Tigers’ training facility for athletics. The Tiger equipment staff is responsible for maintaining uniforms and practice equipment for the Tiger football, baseball, track, softball and soccer teams, which use the Murphy Complex for their daily workouts.

MURPHY ATHLETIC COMPLEX

EQUIPMENT ROOM Head equipment manager Marc Hohorst, who is in his eighth year at the University of Memphis, supervises the Tigers’ sports equipment staff. Hohorst, who came to the Tigers from Arkansas State University, is assisted by a graduate assistant manager and a staff of 10 student managers. In addition to supervising his student staff, Hohorst is responsible for ordering the uniforms and equipment for most of the Tiger athletic teams. In the fall of 2007, the Tiger football team received a 45-foot trailer from former letterwinner Rick Kale to transport the equipment to all home and road games. The trailer, which offers Hohorst a convenient way to store and haul the gear, was wrapped by Jim McDonald of McDonald Outdoor and is highly visible while rolling down the highway.

EQUIPMENT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS Equipped with two complete laundry rooms to handle the cleaning of uniforms for the football, baseball, track and soccer teams. The equipment room at the Murphy Complex is set up so each football player has his own locker and practice gear can be sorted quickly for easy distribution. The new area was constructed with more than double the amount of work counter tops and cabinets. Two vault-like areas within the equipment room allow more storage space for the safe keeping of Tiger uniforms and supplies. Storage space on-field was more than tripled in size. The old equipment shed, located south of the main building, was removed to make way for the renovation, and a new two-bay equipment storage building was constructed south of the Tiger weight room. The new building allows the equipment staff to store onfield equipment such as sleds, golf carts and blocking bags in a more secure and protective area.

Head equipment manager Marc Hohorst

The equipment staff, with the assistance of Armstrong Relocation, transports all the equipment, cooling fans, blackboards, film and video equipment, and even John Deere carts to the Tigers’ next road game. The staff leaves a day before the team and has the locker room, stadium and hotel set up prior to the arrival of the team.

The new equipment room at Murphy Athletic Complex has given managers additional working and storage areas.

WEIGHT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS

STRENGTH

The 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency.

& CONDITIONING

Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff’s certified specialists, and each student-athlete’s individual progress is projected via a computerized database.

Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts at the Murphy Athletic Complex. He is aided by graduate assistants Josh Medler, Kyle Miller and Chad Smith, and volunteer assistant Ken Roach. The Tiger football, men’s soccer, baseball and track teams work out with Stark and his staff. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with over 40 NFL players, including the Carolina Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams, the New England Patriots’ Stephen Gostkowski, the Cleveland Browns’ Brandon McDonald, the Detroit Lions’ Idrees Bashir and the San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. In addition to the Murphy Athletic Complex weight room, there is a weight facility in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room benefits women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, cross country, women’s golf, softball and women’s soccer. Former Marshall strength and conditioning coach Mike Jenkins was hired in late June to assist Stark and oversee the Fieldhouse strength facility. The men’s basketball team utilizes a weight room that is located in its practice facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans is charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball, as well as the men’s tennis and men’s golf teams. With three state-of-the-art facilities located around campus, the U of M Strength and Conditioning staff is well-equipped to handle the training needs of Tiger Athletes.

The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatigue). Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom-line objective. The weight room’s equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic platforms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, glute/ ham stations, cable stations and other supplemental pieces allowing student-athletes to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements. Coach Mike Stark developed the Iron Tiger program at Memphis, which tests power, speed and strength. Recently, Stark devised a team championship rather than an individual championship. The top four teams, made up of 10 football players each, earn Iron Tiger status. In planning the long-range Tiger Power programs, student-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For example, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of “foundational” or generalized movements and progress toward more intensive and specialized exercises with each successive phase. The actual workout menu may remain fairly constant over a student-athletes four- or five-year sport career; however, broad variations in workload combine the program’s simplicity with a measure of sophistication.

The University of Memphis’ Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Its mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes succeed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees.

In the last three graduation ceremonies, 21 football players have earned their degrees. Those graduates posed for a group photo before the 2007 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

BUILDING TOMORROW’S LEADERS

ACADEMIC CENTER The services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. In March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20-30 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance. Assistant director Kelley Bickham, who was hired May 2007, was brought in specifically to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compliance matters associated with prospective and current student-athletes. The five academic counselors are assigned to specific sports working closely with those student-athletes and coaching staffs. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last six academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic AllAmerica.

The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 21 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to student-athletes only. The class was so well received that a third section was offered in 2003 so that all freshman student-athletes could be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average of 15.2 credit hours and an average GPA of 3.25.

In its commitment to the overall development of the student-athlete, a fourth section will be instituted fall, 2008. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top studentathletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes studentathletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 studentathletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the studentathlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

WHY TIGERS?

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. Under Coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal’s football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto – “Every Man a Tiger” – and went on to score 174 points while allowing its opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis.

A PROUD HISTORY

TIGER TRADITIONS A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT

For over 30 years, the sideline mascot for The University of Memphis has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the current Tiger mascot, attends all Tiger football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year as a powerful and majestic symbol of Tigers Athletics. TOM II travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer, always with police escort. 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. TOM came to the university on November 9, 1972, when the tiger cub was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, Ind., and put on a Memphis-bound flight via Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. He arrived in Memphis at 3:00 a.m., and C. Cleveland Drennon, President of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $1,500 to purchase the animal. That morning, TOM was taken to Athletic Director Billy Murphy’s office for a press conference. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 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 to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti, including colorful monikers like Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny Shiloh, and even Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. During his first few months in Memphis, TOM was housed by Highland Hundred member Bill Proctor in his garage, which the Club had redecorated, and was closely guarded by Proctor’s hound dog. As TOM grew older, the decision was made by the Highland Hundred to keep the Tiger Tradition alive by securing a new Tiger to be raised as TOM II. In the fall of 1991, Highland Hundred President Ray Daniels and President-Elect Bobby Wharton received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. In 2005, TOM II moved to a new habitat in a rural area just south of Memphis on land offered by longtime Tiger fans Jeff and Mary Kuntz. The new facility was designed as a virtual copy of the original facility in Collierville, but includes many upgrades that improve TOM’s comfort and safety. As one of only two universities in America with a live Tiger mascot, the University of Memphis is unique in its Tiger Tradition.

SCHOOL COLORS

The University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

THE LOGO

The University of Memphis’ official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.”

CITY OF

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, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects has been the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds,

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 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-theart arena features a 35,000-square-foot 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. From B.B.

Tiger athletic squads are fortunate to have so many different groups behind them each and every game. There is no question that it takes a large group of people to back the Tigers and to make each home game a fun and exciting atmosphere for all.

MEMPHIS GAMEDAY

TIGER STYLE

Standing on the sidelines rain or shine are the cheerleading and pom pon squads that truly create excitement for the fans. The groups can be seen early every Saturday before the game riding on the trailer above TOM II, the Tiger mascot. The pride that these groups show each game shines through from the kickoff to the final seconds of the game clock. Memphis fields both a varsity and junior varsity co-ed cheer squad, as well as an all-girls competitive cheerleading team that made its debut for the 2001-02 athletic season. The co-ed squad has ranked in the top four at the USA National Collegiate Championships for the past four years. The all-women squad won the national crown in 2004 and 2008 and were the runner-up in 2003 and 2005. One of the most talented dance teams in the South, the Memphis pom squad has amassed 12 National Championships over the years, including back-to-back titles in 2007 and 2008 in the IA Hip Hop competition. Also part of the cheerleading squad, Pouncer can be seen energizing the crowds from the playing field and through the stands. Saturdays would THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

Another energetic group are the Tigerettes, which recently competed in the Intercollegiate Championship of Baton Twirling. They won a gold medal in the 2006 competition for their first-ever national collegiate championship. Not far from the sidelines, but obviously one of the easily recognizable spirit groups in the stands, the U of M band works hard each and every game to provide entertainment for the fans and to give the team that extra boost of energy after each score. The Mighty Sound of the South, as the band is known, consists of just over 200 members who practice many hours each fall to learn the routines they will perform before each game and during each halftime. Though the presence of the various spirit groups on campus will not determine whether the Tigers win or lose a game, they are all uniquely important in creating a fan-friendly atmosphere and in representing their University and their Tigers.
