ACADEMICS 2010 SEASON THE RACERS COACHING STAFF SEASON REVIEW

Backing up its commitment to ensure that Racer student-athletes have every opportunity to excel in the classroom as well as on the athletic fields, Murray State athletics established a state-of-the-art academic center. Named in honor of longtime supporters Jan and Dick Weaver, who provided funding for the building of the center, the Weaver Academic Enhancement Center was opened at Roy Stewart Stadium June 30, 1997, and immediately began to pay dividends in the MSU athletics program. Today, the Weaver Center is a spacious facility equipped with individual and group study areas, but the centerpiece of the Weaver Center is its computer lab. The center is open 12 hours a day, six days a week during the school year, with an abbreviated schedule during the summer and holidays. The center continues to play a role in the academic success of MSU student-athletes. For the 2009-10 academic year, 173 studentathletes had a GPA of 3.0 or better, with 72 having a GPA of 3.5 or better and 28 earning a perfect 4.0.

Racers MURRAY STATE FOOTBALL

OUTLOOK Quarterbacks

Brockman had his redshirt removed with three games left in the 2009 season. In his first start, he went 18-for-33 for 216 yards and a touchdown in leading the Racers to a victory over Austin Peay.

Senior Jeff Ehrhardt started three games a year ago, before an injury slowed his season. Sophomore Casey Brockman proved to be a capable starter during the final three games of the season.

The Racers have a pair of incoming freshman, Joey Howe and Marshyl Rothman, that will push for immediate playing time.

Ehrhardt has had to battle injuries the previous two seasons, after garnering OVC Freshman of the Year honors in 2007. The St. Louis native has passed for 4,953 yards and 35 touchdowns in his career. He ranks in the top five on the career charts in yards, attempts and completions, while needing only one more touchdown pass to move into fifth.

Running Backs

There will be plenty of youth in the Racers’ backfield this season as only one player returns from last season. Prince Nwagbara returns for his junior season after rushing for 163 yards and a touchdown in 2009. Junior Justin Woodard will push for playing time this season after spending the 2009 season as a redshirt.

THE RACERS

Both quarterbacks split time during the Spring as they learned the new spread-offense attack under first-year head coach Chris Hatcher.

2010 SEASON

The Racers enter the 2010 season with two quarterbacks that spent time under center a season ago.

Wide Receivers

MSU’s top five returning receivers combined to catch 99 passes for 951 yards and eight touchdowns.

Fellow senior Rashad Daniels made an immediate impact after entering the lineup in the fourth game of the season. In eight games, Daniels managed 19 catches for 206 yards and a touchdown, catching at least five passes two of his first three games.

Alex Estes spent the 2009 season as a tight end, but will move to a receiver spot in the spread attack.

HISTORY

Senior Daniel Ard will use his 6-5 frame to play a major role in the spread attack this season. Ard managed only 11 catches in limited time last season, but still managed to lead the team in touchdowns for the second-straight season.

SEASON REVIEW

The leader is senior Marcus Harris, who has led the team in receptions in each of the past two seasons. He enters his final season needing only 21 catches to become the school’s all-time leader in that category. He currently ranks 11th on the all-time list for receiving yards (1,414) and tied for seventh in touchdowns (12).

COACHING STAFF

The Racers will once again return one the deepest and most dynamic receiving corps in the OVC.

Estes was used primarily as a blocker, and caught four passes for 27 yards and a touchdown.

MARCUS HARRIS

Both players have shown flashes in their first two seasons, and should have more of an impact in Hatcher’s pass-oriented offense.

MURRAY STATE

Juniors Patrick Robertson and Ja-Vonta Trotter are poised for breakout seasons in 2010.

Junior Dexter Durrante made the switch to receiver in the spring. He began the 2009 season as a defensive back, before making the switch to running back midway through the season. 19 2010 MURRAY STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE • GORACERS.COM

OUTLOOK

Freshman Arthur Brackett adds depth to the receiving corps after posting a very strong spring. Brackett redshirted last season after earning all-region honors in high school.

Offensive Line

The Racers look to tighten up their offensive line this season as they return four players that saw significant action a season ago. Junior Dylan Mundella returns for his third season on the Racers offensive line. Mundella made nine starts at both guard positions in 2009, and started four games during his freshman year in 2007. He missed all the 2008 season with an injury.

Theus has proved to be a force in the middle as he has posted 71 tackles, including 11 tackles-for-loss, in his first two years. Sophomore Tyler Evans brings size and experience to the interior front. In his first action last season, Evans recorded 10 tackles, including a pair of tackles in the backfield. Senior Joe Gamsky will move inside after spending most of last season at end. Gamsky started the final game at end last season and finished the year with 19 tackles.

Fellow junior Raymond Hopson has been in and out of the Racers starting lineup in his career. The Houston, Texas native has started 11 games over the previous two seasons. A pair of sophomores, Roderick Tomlin and Andy Mahoney, gained valuable experience a season ago and will look to hold down starting spots in 2010. Tomlin appeared in nine games last season and started the final four contests at left tackle. Mahoney made one start on the season, but did see time in eight contests. Junior college transfer CJ Matthews brings some size to the interior. At 6-5, 330, Matthews brings a toughness that helped him earn honorable mention all-conference honors in leading Fullerton College to a regional championship. Senior Richard Nelson will battle for playing time up front after redshirting a season ago.

Defensive Line

The biggest hole the Racers will have to fill in 2010 is replacing two-time All-America defensive end Austen Lane. The fifthround pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars set the school’s all-time sack record in 2009 on his way to earning OVC Defensive Player of the Year honors. Junior Jamal Crook enters his third year as a starter along the defensive front. Crook has improved his number’s in each of his first two seasons, and finished the 2009 season with 11 tackles-for-loss and three sacks. Fifth-year senior Blake Booth returns to the lineup after missing all of last season with an injury. Booth has appeared in every game in which he was healthy and has tallied 74 tackles in his career. Red-shirt junior Richard Biers adds depth to the defensive front after moving from linebacker midway through last season. The anchor of the interior line will be junior defensive tackle Lamar Theus. 2010 MURRAY STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE • GORACERS.COM

HARRY McCALL

Racers MURRAY STATE FOOTBALL

OUTLOOK Linebackers

Junior Erik Fennell will be looked upon as a leader in the secondary as he is the only returning safety. Fennell started seven games at strong safety in 2009 and finished second on the team with 67 tackles. He recorded at least three tackles in all 11 games and ended the season with a career-best 14 tackles against Tennessee Tech.

Kutch posted at least six tackles in five of the eight games he played last season, including back-to-back double-digit tackle efforts against North Carolina State and Missouri State.

Junior Lamar Hall made the transition from cornerback in the spring and will push for significant playing time at safety.

Senior Harry McCall will make the full transition to linebacker this season after spending the 2009 campaign as a hybrid safety.

Hall made an immediate impact since his arrival and has posted 97 tackles in his first two seasons.

McCall brings toughness to the position, and a knack for getting in the backfield. Last season, McCall recorded seven tacklesfor-loss, forced two fumbles and intercepted two passes. He also returned a fumble 50 yards for a touchdown in the season opener against Kentucky Wesleyan.

Freshman Josh Brown transferred at the beginning of the spring semester and made the transition from the offensive side of the ball to safety. Brown spent the fall at Iowa.

Clark is coming off his best season as a Racer as he recorded 45 tackles and intercepted a pass.

For the third-straight season, junior Kienan Cullen will handle all the kicking duties for the Racers. The preseason all-OVC kicker and punter is coming off one of the finest seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by a Racer special teamer.

Cornerbacks

The Racers enter the season with experience on the outside as they return three corners that have started throughout their careers.

The Racers boasted one of the top return units in the OVC a season ago as they led the league by averaging 17.9 yards per punt return, and ranked third in kickoff returns at 23.6 yards per return.

Senior John Jean-Baptiste returns for his fourth season after starting eight games a season ago.

The unit is anchored by Consensus Draft Services Preseason Honorable Mention All-American Marcus Harris.

In his career, Jean-Baptiste has started 18 games and recorded 55 tackles. Last season, he intercepted a pair of passes and added four pass break-ups.

Harris led the league and ranked seventh in the FCS with a 26.8 yard return average on 23 kickoff returns. He also averaged 15 yards on 10 punt returns.

Junior Nathan Brinkley brings a physical presence to the outside in his second season as a Racer.

Harris was named the FCS Special Teams Player of the Week by The Sports Network after he returned a kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown, and followed it up with a 75 yard punt return for touchdown in the season-opening victory against Kentucky Wesleyan.

The junior college transfer registered 23 tackles and intercepted a pair of passes in 2009. Junior Darrell Davis has battled injuries throughout his career. Davis appeared in four games last season, and intercepted a pass in the endzone in the Racers victory over Tennessee State.

Safeties

MURRAY STATE

The Louisville, Ky., native was successful on 14-of-17 field-goal attempts, and all 22 of his extra points.

HISTORY

Oliver finished his sophomore season with 38 tackles, including 5.5 tackles-for-loss, in nine games.

SEASON REVIEW

Junior Mark Oliver returns for his second season after joining the Racers a season ago.

Cullen averaged 41 yards on 68 punts, with 15 punts over 50 yards. He also had 21 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, and booted a career-long 72 yarder in the finale against Tennessee Tech.

COACHING STAFF

Fellow senior, Justin Clark, will join McCall at linebacker, after spending the previous three seasons at cornerback and safety.

Special Teams

THE RACERS

Senior Zach Kutch returns for his fourth year as a starting linebacker.

2010 SEASON

The Racers will switch back to a more traditional 4-3 alignment this season, and the transition will be made smooth by a deep linebacking corps.

The Racers enter the season with limited depth at the safety positions with the graduation of Taylor Lanigan and Josh Marshall. 21 2010 MURRAY STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE â&#x20AC;˘ GORACERS.COM

HEAD COACH

CHRIS HATCHER HEAD COACH | FIRST SEASON | 94-27 (.777) OVERALL RECORD

Very few schools in the country can boast the kind of coaching tradition that has taken up residence at Murray State University, especially in the last 25 years. Consider the men who in recent history have guided the Racers on the football field: • Mike Gottfried left Murray State to coach at Kansas and Pittsburgh before becoming one of the top college football television analysts in the country while working for ESPN. • Frank Beamer left Murray State for his alma mater, Virginia Tech, where he guided the Hokies to a spot in the national championship game against Florida State in 2000, earning several national coach of the year awards. • Houston Nutt took the Racers to unprecedented heights before leaving to restore the winning tradition at Arkansas, and now Ole Miss. Now the torch is carried by a coach who has proven to be a winner and has all the makings of becoming the next Murray State football head coaching legend....Chris Hatcher. The Chris Hatcher era officially began at Murray State, Dec. 21, 2009, when Director of Athletics Allen Ward introduced Hatcher as the 17th head coach in front of a standing-room only crowd inside the Murray Room. Success has followed Hatcher throughout his career, as the former Division II National Player of the Year has garnered an overall record of 94-27 in his 10 years as a head coach. Included in those 10 seasons are six trips to postseason, two appearances in the National Championship game and the 2004 Division II National Championship. Hatcher brings his spread offense ‘Hatch Attack’ to MSU after a three-year stint at Georgia Southern, where he led the Eagles to an 18-15 record and a 12-11 mark the competitive Southern Conference. In his first season with the Eagles in 2007, Hatcher led GSU to the second-best regular season turnaround in program history, a plus-4 improvement from 2006. The Eagles ranked among the national leaders in various categories on offense, defense and 2010 MURRAY STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE • GORACERS.COM

special teams. He also coached five All-America players, including quarterback Jayson Foster, the second Walter Payton award winner at GSU. The Eagles returned to the national rankings after a 14-week hiatus as the Hatcher era got off to a 4-1 start. GSU climbed as high as No. 11 after the Eagles recorded three-straight victories at No. 5 Appalachian State, ending the Mountaineers 30-game home winning streak, at home against No. 25 The Citadel and at No. 10 Wofford. The prolific offense ranked first in rushing, eighth in total offense, eighth in scoring offense and 23rd in sacks allowed. The defense was 14th in turnover margin and 17th in fumbles recovered, while the special teams ranked 25th in net punting. The 2008 season saw Hatcher guide the Eagles to the program’s 25th winning season in 27 years. In late October, the Eagles set an NCAA record for the largest fourth-quarter comeback as GSU erased a 31-3 deficit for a thrilling 38-31 overtime victory at Western Carolina. The OT contest was just the first of an NCAA record four overtime games played by the Eagles in 2008. The ‘Hatch Attack’ provided impressive numbers in all three phases. The offense ranked 20th nationally in passing and scoring, while the defense ranked 26th in sacks and 22nd in tackles-for-loss. The special teams units finished 14th in punt returns and 36th in kickoff returns. All of this was done as Hatcher and his staff were forced to play in upwards of 30 freshman on a consistent basis throughout the season. In all, five Eagles received all-league honors and seven freshman representing offense, defense and special teams were named to the inaugural SoCon All-Freshman Team. Prior to his time at GSU, Hatcher molded Valdosta State into one of the most dominant teams in Division II. The winningest coach in Blazers’ history, Hatcher was 76-12 at his alma mater. When Hatcher took over as head coach in 2000, he wasted no time molding the Valdosta State program into the ‘Hatch Attack’. In his first year back at VSU, Hatcher took a 4-7 squad the previous year and turned it around to a 10-2 record (8-1 in GSC action) and a berth in the Division II playoffs. He coached quarterback Dusty Bonner who was a two-time winner of the Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year, an award Hatcher won himself in 1994. His 2001 and 2002 teams posted back-to-back undefeated records during the regular season, part of a Gulf South Conference record 35 straight victories during the regular season.

HEAD COACH

During the 2004 championship season, the Blazers lost their seasonopener before rattling off 13 consecutive victories, capped by a 36-31 victory over Pittsburg State in the title game. Hatcher was named ‘National Coach of the Year’ by the American Football Coaches Association and was the offensive coordinator for the East squad at the Hula Bowl. In 2005, Valdosta opened the season ranked No. 1 for four-straight weeks and saw the season culminate with a sixthstraight NCAA postseason appearance. Despite an 8-2 record in 2006, the 10th-ranked Blazers did not receive an invitation to the playoffs marking the first time that occurred in the Hatcher era. The 2006 team finished sixth nationally in passing offense (283 yards per game), 12th in scoring offense (34.9 ppg) and 19th in total offense (389.9 yards). However, Hatcher’s teams have been successful in all three facets. The 2006 defense ranked 27th nationally in scoring defense (15.7 points allowed) while the special teams ranked third in punt returns (17.3 yards) and blocked seven kicks. The Macon (Ga.) native spent one year as quarterbacks/tight ends coach at the University of Central Florida where he worked with Miami Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper. He then spent three years working with the quarterbacks at the University of Kentucky where he worked under former VSU head coach Hal Mumme. During his time with the Wildcats he coached the No. 1 NFL draft pick, All-America quarterback Tim Couch. While at UK, Hatcher and the Wildcats played in the 1999 Outback Bowl, the program’s first New Year’s Day Bowl in 47 years, then followed that the following year with a berth in the ’99 Music City

Bowl. It marked the first time the Wildcats had consecutive bowl appearances in 15 years. Hatcher carried his success on the playing field to help him develop into one of the nation’s winningest coaches. A two-time All-American quarterback at VSU (1993 and 1994), Hatcher threw for 11,363 yards and 121 touchdowns during his stellar career. During his senior year in 1994, he led the Blazers to their first postseason berth, advancing to the quarterfinals, and when it was all said and done set 29 VSU passing and total offense records. Among the national records he once set were a 68.5 career completion percentage and streak of 20-straight completions in a game against New Haven. Hatcher held 14 Valdosta State, 13 Gulf South Conference and 17 Division II national records. He also started 41 consecutive games, posting a 29-10-2 record. Not only did Hatcher excel on the field, he was just as successful in the classroom. Twice he received the Guld South Conference’s Commissioner’s Troply which is awarded to the league’s Most Outstanding Student-Athlete. He finished his senior year by winning several national honors including: the NCAA Top Eight Award, the CoSIDA Academic All-America National Player of the Year and a postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. At the time when Hatcher won the Harlon Hill Trophy, he won by the secondlargest voting margin in the then-19-year history of the award. Hatcher was also voted the GSC Football team of the 1990s. The honors continued to add up even after his playing days. Hatcher was

named to the Valdosta State University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001, in his first year of eligibility. The personable head coach was also elected into the Macon Sports Hall of Fame the same year. In 2005, Hatcher was inducted into the Division II Hall of Fame. Hatcher graduated from Valdosta State in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education. He and his wife, Lori, also a graduate of VSU, are the parents of a son, Ty, and daughter, Talley.

What They Are Saying About Chris Hatcher “Chris is a great coach and a tremendous over achiever. He has a lot to offer and will do great things at Murray State. I like to call him ‘the General” because he knows how to lead and how to win. I have always been interested in hiring him, but he wants to run his own show and he has done a tremendous job.” Mike Leach, Former head coach at Texas Tech “Chris played for me and later worked along side me. He is a great coach and an even better person. Chris possess a great mind and I believe he will be very successful at Murray State. Murray State made a great choice in hiring Chris Hatcher.” Hal Mumme, Former head coach at Kentucky and Valdosta State “Chris is a great person and an outstanding coach that will represent himself in a first-class manner. He was on the right track with things at Valdosta State and Georgia Southern, and there is no doubt that he will have Murray State as a force to be reckoned with in the Ohio Valley Conference.” Will Muschamp, Texas Defensive Coordinator/Coach in Waiting “Coach Hatcher is probably one of the best coaches that I had throughout any level of football (high school, college or NFL). He came to UK with Coach (Hal) Mumme and they installed the passing offense that guided me to the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.” Tim Couch No. 1 pick in NFL Draft

previous seven years, the offense scored 50 or more points 17 times. The offensive line played a vital role in the success at Valdosta State. During Coach Hatcher’s seven year stint in charge, the offense averaged more than 32 points per game in six seasons. Every year the offense totaled at least 380 yards per game. As a former walk-on who eventually earned a scholarship, Bostick was a three-year letterwinner from 1991-93. During the 1993 campaign in which the Blazers finished 8-3, Bostick was the starting center on an offensive line that allowed only 10 sacks of Chris Hatcher. From 1994-95 he worked as a student assistant coach under Hal Mumme. Bostick was part of the 1994 coaching staff, leading Valdosta State to its first-ever playoff appearance. In 1996 he worked with the running backs, as the Blazers won their first conference championship. During the 1997 campaign, he served as a graduate assistant coach under Mike Kelley, returning to the offensive line. The next season, he moved into his first full-time coaching position and worked with the offensive line every year since. One of Bostick’s players, two-year starter Richard Collier, went to the NFL and was with the Jacksonville Jaguars until he was tragically injured. A 1997 graduate of Valdosta State, Bostick received his bachelor’s degree in Education. He and his wife, Sheila, have a daughter, Emma, and a son, Walker.

THE RACERS

The Bostick File

Shawn Bostick begins his first season as the assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Murray State. Bostick has been alongside Chris Hatcher since their playing days at Valdosta State. Bostick comes to MSU after serving as the offensive line coach at Georgia Southern the previous three seasons. Last season’s offensive line featured three underclassmen on a unit that gained 279.4 yards a game of total offense, including 96.5 yards a game on the ground. In 2008, the GSU offensive line had the formidable task of replacing all five starters, including two All-Americans. Despite not having a single lineman receive All-Southern Conference honors, the offense still ranked 20th nationally in passing offense, 20th in scoring offense and 37th in total offense. During his first year on staff, Bostick inherited a talented and experienced offensive line, and built on that. Two linemen earned First-Team All-America honors, guard Marcelo Estrada and tackle Russell Orr. Both were named AllSouthern Conference, along with tackle Brad Williams. They paved the way for the backs as once again Georgia Southern led the nation in rushing offense. In fact, the Eagles ranked eighth nationally in total offense and scoring offense. When the offense needed a clutch play the linemen helped pave the way as GSU finished first nationally in fourth down conversions. The linemen played a big role in fewest sacks allowed, finishing 23rd nationally. His arrival in Statesboro, Ga. ended an 18-year affiliation with Valdosta State, from his playing days to then assistant coach. Bostick served as assistant head coach in charge of the offensive line for eight years at VSU. His O-Line was part of one of the most productive offensive units in Division II. In 2006, the Blazers ranked 20th nationally in total offense (390 yards/game), sixth in passing offense (283 yards), ninth in scoring offense (35 points) and 21st in team passing efficiency (145.38). Bostick was part of the 2004 National Championship team and the national runnerup in 2002. During his tenure, Bostick coached three All-America selections (Jason King, Tully Payne and Torrey Howard) and eight who were named All-Gulf South Conference. Over the

Coached Chris Covington and Dakota Walker to All-America honors following the 2008 season.

Ashley Anders enters his first season as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for the Racers. He will also be in charge of kickoff coverage. Anders comes to Murray after spending the previous three seasons as the defensive coordinator at Georgia Southern. In 2009, Anders’defensive unit led the Southern Conference with 14 forced fumbles and tied for third in the league with 11 interceptions. Defensive lineman Brent Russell and Markeith Wylie combined for 22 tackles-for-loss and nine sacks in earning second-team all-SoCon honors. During the 2008 season, Anders coached two All-Americans in Chris Covington (linebacker) and Dakota Walker (defensive end). Covington, who began the season in the secondary, moved to Anders’ linebacker unit in week five and would go on and rank among the Southern Conference leaders in tackles for loss (second SoCon, tied 40th nationally) and sacks (third SoCon, tied 39th nationally). Walker not only led the SoCon in sacks but finished tied for 12th nationally. When Covington was named SoCon ‘Defensive Player of the Year’ by the Sports Media Association, he became the third player in Eagle history to accomplish the feat, and first since 2001. Both he and Walker earned First Team All-SoCon honors. The Eagle defense, playing as many as nine true-freshmen on a consistent basis, saved their best performance for last in a 17-10 win at 14thranked Furman to close out the season with a winning record. The 10 points allowed were the fewest by an opponent since October 2005. The defense saw a league-best four rookies named to the inaugural SoCon All-Freshman Team. As a defensive unit, the Eagles ranked 22nd nationally averaging 7.0 tackles for a loss and 26th recording 2.4 sacks per game. Not only did Anders’ defensive unit rank among the SoCon leaders, the kickoff coverage team set the standard. Led by Patrick Bolen, the Eagles led the SoCon in net kickoff yards forcing opponents to start on their own 25 yard line. During the 2007 season the Eagles’ defense ranked 14th nationally in turnover margin (+1.09). That impressive average was tied into the team’s 56th ranking in interceptions, 17th in fumble recoveries and 37th in turnovers gained. Overall, the defensive unit recorded 65 tacklesfor-loss, 19 sacks, 11 interceptions and 56 pass break-ups. Prior to Georgia Southern, Anders spent five years working on Chris Hatcher’s staff at Valdosta State. During his final four years, he served as the defensive coordinator and was in charge of the kickoff teams. During his tenure as defensive coordinator, the Blazers qualified for the NCAA playoffs three times and posted a 40-8 record. They finished no worse than third place in the always tough Gulf South Conference, including titles in 2002

2010 MURRAY STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE • GORACERS.COM

and 2004, and a pair of runner-up finishes. At a place known for its offensive production, Anders’ defensive unit was equally impressive. In 2006, the Blazers defense allowed just 15.7 points a game, 25th best in Division II. VSU ranked 35th nationally in total defense (270 yards/game), while totaling 24 takeaways in 10 games. The unit recorded 69 tackles-for-loss, 22 sacks, 13 interceptions and 38 pass break-ups. When VSU played for the 2004 National Championship, Anders and defensive staff went up against one of the most explosive offenses in NCAA history. Pittsburg State had set NCAA records - for all divisions - in scoring offense (57.6 ppg) and total offense (616 yards/game).

MURRAY, Ky. -- Murray State put points on the board in seven different ways as the Racers erupted for a 66-10 victory over Kentucky Wesleyan in the season opener Thursday evening. Sophomore Kienan Cullen scored the first points of the season with a 27-yard field goal on the first possession. The defense got in the act in the second quarter as Harry McCall returned a fumble 50 yards, before Justin Clark made a tackle in the endzone for a safety. A bad snap on another punt resulted in a second safety. The offense overcame a slow start to score five touchdowns as Prince Nwagbara ran in from nine yards, and Charlie Jordan added TD runs of two and seven yards. Quarterback Jeff Ehrhardt connected on a pair of scoring strikes to Daniel Ard (21 yards) and Marcus Harris (13 yards). The special teams also got involved as Harris returned a kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown and followed it up with a 75-yard punt return to TD. He earned FCS Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts. The defense limited the Panthers to just 12 yards passing, the fewest allowed in the opening game in the FCS. They also recorded an FCS-best 13 tackles-forloss. Tamar Butler led the way with 17 tackles. Scoring Summary Kentucky Wesleyan Murray State

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Murray State defense came within 28 seconds of posting it’s first shutout in five years and Kienan Cullen kicked three field goals as the Racers put an end to a four-game losing streak with a hard-fought 9-6 victory over Ohio Valley Conference leading Tennessee State Saturday evening at LP Field. The Racers (2-4, 1-2 OVC) got on the board on the opening possession as they took 10 plays to march 63 yards. Charlie Jordan got the drive going with a 20 yard run around left end before Nico Yantko found Rashad Daniels for an 18-yard gain over the middle. Marcus Harris returned to the lineup with a nine-yard grab over the middle before Jordan picked up another first down with a six-yard gain. The drive stalled on the Tiger 19-yard line and Kienan Cullen capped the drive by connecting on a 36-yard field goal. The Racer defense setup the second scoring drive as Taylor Lanigan broke through the line and forced a fumble that was recovered by Tamar Butler at the TSU 19-yard line. Yantko connected with DeAngelo Nelson on an 11-yard pass on the first play. After the Racers gained just one yard on the next three plays, Cullen connected on a 24-yard field goal to give MSU a 6-0 advantage with 4:48 remaining in the first half. The defense also set up the third score as cornerback Nathan Brinkley stepped in front of Calvin McNairl pass for the interception and returned it 16 yards to the Tiger 24-yard line.

MURRAY, Ky. -- The Murray State defense allowed just 218 total yards and did not allow a touchdown against #19 Eastern Illinois, but a an interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter proved to be the difference as the Panthers walked out of Stewart Stadium with a 16-10 victory in a defensive battle. The defense allowed just 97 yards on the ground, and 121 yards through the air, as they did not allow a touchdown for the first time this season and held the Panthers to just 2-of-12 on third down.

Scoring Summary Murray State Southeast Missouri

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Racers concluded an emotional week and season with a 45-14 defeat at Tennessee Tech Saturday afternoon. MSU answered a first quarter score from the Golden Eagles as Charlie Jordan capped a nine-play drive with a nine-yard touchdown run with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter. The Golden Eagles seized control from that point as they scored the next 38 points to putting the game away. The Racers got back into the scoring column late in the fourth quarter as quarterback Casey Brockman found older brother, Tyler, on a pair of passes that covered 27 yards. The nine-play 56-yard drive ended with Brockman finding Marcus Harris for a 10-yard touchdown pass. Kienan Cullen continued his solid season on special teams as he averaged 46.8 yards on three punts, including a career-best 72 yard effort. Austen Lane closed out his great career with 10 tackles, including 1.5 for loss, and a fumble recovery. Fellow senior, Tamar Butler, also added 10 tackles and two pass break-ups. Erik Fennell led the defense with 14 stops.

THE RACERS

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- Southeast Missouri rushed for 302 yards and scored 22 unanswered points in handing Murray State a 49-13 defeat at Houck Stadium. The Racers got on the board first as Kienan Cullen capped off the opening drive with a 40-yard field goal. After a SEMO touchdown, Casey Brockman drove the Racers down the field and found Rashad Daniels on a 33-yard screen pass for a touchdown. MSU only managed three points in the second half as a 12-play drive ended with Cullen connecting on a career-long 48 yarder. The Redhawks ground game took over from there as they rushed for three fourth-quarter touchdowns for the final margin of victory. Brockman turned in his second-straight strong performance as he went 20-for-36 for 205 yards and a touchdown. Marcus Harris continued his strong season as he had a game-high seven receptions for 72 yards. Derrick Townsel added 32 yards on four receptions. Charlie Jordan led the ground attack with 89 yards on 18 carries. Linebacker Tamar Butler led the defense with 12 tackles, including eight solo stops. Justin Clark added 10 tackles, including a tackle-for-loss and a forced fumble.

TANGERINE BOWL

NCAA SEMIFINAL

NCAA FIRST ROUND

The Murray State Thoroughbreds took their 9-1 record into their first and only bowl game appearance. MSU traveled to Orlando, Fla., for a Tangerine Bowl encounter with Sul Ross State of Alpine, Texas. Murray State entered the game having outscored its opponents 259-65 during the regular season. MSU was led by halfbacks Winfred Dill and Joe Bronson, and end Bob Sanders, who doubled as the team’s kicker and booted a school-record 27 extra points. Sul Ross featured a massive lineman, Dan Blocker. The 6-4, 270-pound Blocker would later achieve fame in the role of Hoss Cartwright on the TV series “Bonanza.” Though Murray State stopped the Lobos when John Hackney recovered a fumble on the 1-yard line in the game’s opening drive, Sul Ross returned the favor by recovering a Murray fumble on the Thoroughbreds’ 2-yard line later in the quarter. Three plays later, Sul Ross took a 7-0 lead. The Lobos upped the lead to 14-0 early in the second quarter on a 29-yard pass, but Murray State answered quickly. Receiving the ensuing kickoff on his 15-yard line, Bronson scampered 85 yards for MSU’s first score. Sanders added the extra point, cutting the Sul Ross lead to 14-7. Later in the quarter, another Murray State fumble gave Sul Ross good field position, as the Lobos drove 26 yards in seven plays to take a 21-7 lead by halftime. The second half was all Murray State. Held to just six yards net rushing in the first half, MSU began moving the ball on the ground in the third quarter, and scored on a 7-yard touchdown run by Dale McDaniel to cut the lead to 21-14. After forcing Sul Ross to punt on its next possession, Murray State moved the ball to the Lobo 37, when McDaniel zipped 37 yards to paydirt. Sanders provided the extra point, tying the score at 21-all. MSU’s momentum was team-wide, as the Thoroughbred defense again held on the next possession and blocked the Lobos’ punt. With time running out, Murray State moved the ball to the Lobo 15-yard line, setting up Sanders for a fourth-down field goal attempt. The reeling Lobo defense was able to rise one last time, blocking the kick, and forcing the game to end in a tie.

Murray State made its first NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearance at home and entered the game ranked No. 2 in the nation, having won its last eight regular season games. In his second year guiding the Racers, head coach Mike Gottfried assembled a team which emphasized defense. Led by All-America safety Terry Love, the team rolled through the Ohio Valley Conference season with an unblemished 6-0 record, outscoring league foes 162-55. Overall, the Racer defense ranked fifth in the country in total defense and second in stopping the run, holding opponents to a mere 64.1 yards rushing per game. Future head coach Mike Mahoney was making his debut on the Racer coaching staff that season, in charge of the defensive line. Playing before the cameras of ABC Sports, Murray State’s playoff opponent was the No. 4 ranked Lehigh Engineers (the I-AA playoffs consisted of just four teams in 1979), who provided a stern test on a 38-degree day at Stewart Stadium. After the Racers failed to move the ball in their first possession, Lehigh marched 42 yards to the Racer 4-yard line. Three running plays netted but three yards, setting up a fourth down chip-shot field goal, but Love blasted through the line to block the kick, keeping the game scoreless. The game remained deadlocked until Lehigh “engineered” a 10-play, 63-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter, plunging over with 11:32 remaining in the half. Lehigh went ahead 14-0 later in the quarter, driving 57 yards in six plays. By halftime, Lehigh had outgained Murray State 223-85, and held a 154-55 rushing yardage advantage. The second half saw the Racers show signs of life, as David Tuck’s 24-yard field goal midway through the third quarter cut the lead to 14-3. The Racers closed the gap in the fourth to 14-9 on a 23-yard scoring pass from Ricky Ray to Greg King, set up by a 21-yard run off a fake punt by Kenny Davis. However, Lehigh answered by scoring two fourth quarter touchdowns to seal the contest.

Unlike their previous playoff appearance, the 1986 Racers were the underdogs against Eastern Illinois, as Murray State had to win its last six conference games to finish the season as Ohio Valley Conference co-champions and achieve a No. 18 ranking in the NCAA Division I-AA poll with a 7-3-1 record. Homestanding Eastern Illinois (10-1) entered the game ranked No. 3, and featured one of I-AA’s most-feared passing attacks, leading the nation with 326 yards per game. The Racers countered with a strong ground game, which had produced seven individual 100-yard rushing games, led by tailback Rodney Payne’s 838 yards. Through the air, freshman quarterback Michael Proctor threw for 1,508 yards and nine touchdowns. After the Racer defense stopped EIU on two drives, the Racers opened the scoring late in the first quarter, as Proctor found back Frank Thigpen open for a 2-yard touchdown pass, capping a nine-play, 79-yard drive. The Racers went ahead 14-0 early in the second quarter after recovering a fumble at the EIU 9-yard line. Proctor hit tight end Bob Jacob for Murray State’s second touchdown. But EIU’s offense heated up, scoring on two long scoring drives and tying the game 14-all by halftime. In the third quarter, MSU’s defense stopped EIU twice inside the 10-yard line, forcing the Panthers to settle for two field goals and a 20-14 lead. The Racers answered late in the quarter. Led by tailback Bill Bird, who opened the drive with a 12-yard blast, the Racers drove 74 yards in 10-plays. Proctor capped the drive with his third touchdown pass of the afternoon, a 32-yard strike to speedy wideout Stanley Howard. Paul Hickert’s extra point gave the Racers a 21-20 lead with 11:26 remaining in the game. But after both teams traded punts, EIU took the lead for good, driving 72 yards in four quick plays. With the Racer defense loosened for the pass – EIU threw 54 times – the Panthers scored on a 9-yard run with 7:24 remaining. The two-point conversion gave EIU its final 28-21 margin, as Murray State’s comeback hopes were dashed by a late interception.

With the first-ever playoff win under their belts, the Racers flew to Troy, Ala., to meet Troy. Though the defense played better than the score indicated, MSU was outmatched physically and couldn’t overcome five turnovers and a stingy Trojan defense. More was lost than a game on that day. Head coach Houston Nutt, who led MSU to national prominence in four short years, left for Boise State, and MSU lost one of its finest senior classes ever. Transfers such as Mike Cherry, Mathias Vavao, Donald Hitson, Deon Smith and Jesse Jones played just two years at MSU, but never lost an OVC game. The four-year seniors, what Nutt called “the core” - Terry Anthony, Willie Corbin, Elliott Dunn, Renardo Hampton, William Hampton, Anthony Hutch, David McCann, Carlos Ransey, Tim Scarborough and Tony Turner - suffered through lean times and emerged on the other side as champions. Troy scored a touchdown in the first and second quarters to carry a 14-0 advantage into the locker room at halftime. A 42-yard field goal by Rob Hart midway through the third quarter got the Racers on the board, but they still trailed 14-3 heading into the final quarter of play. Less than a minute into the fourth quarter the Trojans extended their lead to 17-3 on Matt Huerkamp’s 27-yard field goal. Joe Jackson’s second 1-yard touchdown run of the game capped an 8-play, 61-yard Troy drive and gave the home team a 24-3 lead with 4:55 left on the clock. Terrell Smith’s touchdown run from one yard out and 29 seconds remaining in the game set the final score at 31-3. Murray State finished with more first downs than the Trojans, 16 to 15, but the Troy State defense limited the Racers to only 15 net rushing yards, while the Troy offense ran for 253 yards. Troy’s balanced rushing attack left Arrid Gregory with 89 yards, Jackson with 72 and Stan Davis with 66. Cherry had a tough day, throwing four interceptions and completing just 18-of-40 pass attempts.

MURRAY STATE

Murray State continued its Ohio Valley Conference dominance in 1996. The Racers went undefeated in the OVC for the second straight season. After an overtime loss to Western Kentucky in the first game of the season, MSU rolled to 10 straight victories to close out the regular season. The Racers out-scored their opponents in 1996 by an average score of 39-15. The balanced offensive attack averaged 233 yards through the air and 208 on the ground. The Murray State defense limited foes to just 259 yards per game. Promising they were more prepared than the year before when they were knocked off at home by Northern Iowa in the first round, the Racers blew open a close game against Western Illinois and won 34-6 in a steady rain. The victory was the first playoff win in program history. Neither team scored until Anthony Downs broke loose for a 45-yard touchdown run with 7:13 left in the second quarter. Murray State took that 7-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. A punt return by Western Illinois to the MSU 3-yard line set up a scoring run by Brian Knuckles. The Leathernecks couldn’t convert the extra point and Murray State led 7-6. Rob Hart connected on a 23-yard field goal with 7:42 left in the third quarter to extend the Racer advantage to 10-6. Another Hart field goal early in the fourth quarter opened up a 24-point final frame explosion by the offense, and the Racer defense continued to keep WIU out of the end zone. David McCann had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs, and Donald Hitson capped the scoring with a 20-yard touchdown run with 1:30 left in the game. William Hampton’s 44-yard interception return set the Racers up at the WIU 14-yard line. After a penalty pushed MSU back to the 28, McCann ripped off a 27-yard run to set up his second touchdown. Murray State outgained Western Illinois 232-45 on the ground, led by Downs and his 131 yards on 22 carries. McCann finished with 54 yards on 12 carries to go along with his two touchdowns.

HISTORY

In 1995, not one Racer was tabbed as a preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference selection, and although MSU finished fourth the previous two seasons after being picked to place ninth and seventh respectively, MSU was picked to finish sixth in the league’s preseason poll. The Racers didn’t let any of that stop them on their way to an unblemished 11-0 regular season in 1995. MSU began what would grow over three seasons to 19 straight OVC victories. Murray State entered the playoffs ranked fourth and seeded fourth. MSU hosted a determined Northern Iowa team in the first round, and the Panthers came ready to play. UNI jumped out in front 14-0 after a pair of touchdown passes from Chris Berg to Alonzo Clayton. A Derrick Cullors 10-yard scoring run got the Racers on the board, but Northern Iowa came right back with another Berg-to-Clayton scoring pass, this time from 31 yards out. It would not be the last the Racers would hear from Berg or Clayton. Mike Cherry connected with Kwabe Idelette for a 22-yard touchdown pass with eight seconds left in the first half to make it 21-14. A two-yard touchdown run by Cherry in the third quarter tied the score at 21-all. Berg gave UNI another 7-point cushion when he connected on a 60-yard touchdown pass in the closing seconds of the third quarter. MSU tied it again with another touchdown pass from Cherry, but Berg came right back and put the Panthers in front, 35-28, with a 12-yard scoring toss. The Racers were stopped on downs on their next drive, but they forced a Northern Iowa punt and had the ball back with 3:12 left in the game. Cherry orchestrated a 10-play, 73-yard scoring drive capped off by a 7-yard touchdown run by David McCann. MSU only needed to convert the extra point to tie the game with 1:26 left on the clock. Chris Dill’s kick was blocked by Clayton, and Northern Iowa held on for the 35-34 upset. Murray State attempted an onside kick with hopes of getting the ball back, but the Panthers recovered the ball.

NCAA FIRST ROUND The 2002 Racers were not expected to be playoff contenders. It took a last-second field goal in the final game of the regular season to give Murray State a share of the Ohio Valley Championship and the league’s automatic bid to the playoffs. Billy Blanchard, MSU’s last 1,000-yard rusher, led an MSU running game that averaged 249.6 yards per game in 2002. Unfortunately the Racers drew a first round match-up with a Western Kentucky team destined to win the national championship. The Hilltoppers used a potent running game of their own to dispatch MSU in the first round. WKU left little doubt after scoring on four of its first five possessions and putting up 24 unanswered points in the first quarter. A missed field goal attempt from 54 yards out was the only time the Hilltoppers didn’t put points on the board the first five times they got the ball. Western scored three times on the ground in the opening frame. Deandre Green’s 18-yard touchdown reception early in the second period drew the visitors to within 24-7, but the Hilltoppers kept scoring. Western’s fourth rushing touchdown made it 38-14 at halftime. Less than two minutes into the second half Western made it seven scores in nine chances. The Hilltoppers would be forced to punt just twice in the entire game. Murray State managed just one touchdown in the second half as Western Kentucky rolled to a 59-20 win and moved one step closer on its path to the national title. WKU outgained the Racers 350 to 103 on the ground for the game. Three Hilltoppers had 80 or more yards on the ground led by Jeremi Johnson’s 160. Maurice Bradley had three of WKU’s five scoring runs. Ron Lane led Murray State with 66 yards. Blanchard scored MSU’s only rushing touchdown. Stewart Childress completed 12 of 24 passes for Murray State and totaled 149 yards through the air. He tossed a pair of scoring passes. Green finished with 127 yards on eight catches to go along with his touchdown reception. Jimmy St. Louis capped an 8-play, 58-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown catch.

THIS IS...

Business Building World-Wide Recognition U.S. News & World Report magazine has recognized Murray State University’s continuing excellence as a top tier university for 15 consecutive years. Murray ranks sixth in the South among “Top Public Universities - Master’s,” and is the only Kentucky university to be ranked in the top tier for 15 years in a row. In the 2006 U.S. News college guide, the university received its highest overall ranking ever, coming in at 17th among all public and private universities in the southern region of the country. Additionally, Murray State was named in the South’s best master’s universities Great Schools at a Great Price category, where MSU was recognized as one of the top two best values among public schools in the South. Murray State University’s solid academic program and affordable price make it an excellent buy for students seeking success. High Academic Standards Murray State is certified by national and regional accreditation agencies, which means MSU meets rigid standards.

The Campus Since its founding in 1922, Murray State has gained a reputation for having one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Adding to the natural scenic beauty of the campus are the many wellmaintained and aesthetically-pleasing buildings. Over the years, MSU has kept its historical look despite making several additions. Currently, the university has three major building projects under way and several others on the drawing board. Most notably, the university just completed a project which included an impressive entrance to the campus and a fence reminiscent of the ones which encircle the many thoroughbred horse farms which Kentucky is known. Other recently completed projects include the Alexander Hall education building and Phase I of the science complex. Residential Colleges Through the recently created Residential College system, Murray State offers students a way of collegiate life that leads to individual and team success. In 1998, MSU decided to transform its housing complex (dormitories) into separate colleges where students who share the same majors or educational pursuits share the entire collegiate experience. In essence, Murray State didn’t just make a transformation; it separated itself from other higher education institutions. From the moment students enroll at Murray State, they become a part of their own residential college within the university. It means belonging. It means each college will have its own government, its own athletic teams, its own faculty ombudsperson and its own traditions. When the Chronicle of Higher Education featured MSU’s improved style of education, it wrote of “a sense of college unity” and “competition that carries over into the classroom.” The Times of London referred to the idea as a vision of Oxford University in Kentucky.

SEASON REVIEW HISTORY MURRAY STATE

Local Community Located in the city of Murray in Calloway County in the southwestern corner of Kentucky, Murray State is surrounded by a neighborly Main Street community of nearly 50,000 people. Known for its friendly citizens and beautiful, wooded landscape, Murray/Calloway County is a growing and thriving area. In addition to its strong educational, employment and quality of life opportunities, Murray/Calloway County’s location is beneficial in many ways. Located in the Jackson Purchase region of western Kentucky, Murray is eight miles from Tennessee, 50 miles from Illinois, 65 miles from Missouri and 150 miles from Indiana, making it easily able to draw students from five different states. Also, four major cities (St. Louis, Nashville, Memphis, Louisville) are within a few hours’ driving distance from Murray. One of the biggest attractions in western Kentucky is scenic Kentucky Lake and the Land Between the Lakes. Just a 15-minute drive from the Murray State campus are boating, fishing, hunting, camping and hiking opportunities, which students often take advantage of during fall and spring weekends.

COACHING STAFF

Racer Athletics The university’s intercollegiate athletic programs are a source of tradition, school pride, spirit and entertainment for students, alumni and community members alike. Competing at the highest level of college athletics, MSU is a member of NCAA Division I and is a founding member of the Ohio Valley Conference with its 16-team program. Murray State is committed to athletic excellence, which is evident by its 96 OVC championships in the 54 years that the Racers have been competing in the league. One of the greatest benefits of Racer athletics to Murray State is the attention and acclaim which it brings to the university. The Murray State men’s basketball team has achieved extensive notoriety by competing in the NCAA Tournament in most years. Also, the Racers find themselves being written about in such publications as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine, The Sporting News, USA Today and dozens of publications and newspapers across the country. Additionally, Murray State is featured several times each year on ESPN and Fox Sports Net South as part of their college basketball and football broadcasts. Murray State has also sent its share of players to the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball and other professional leagues around the world.

THE RACERS

Student Life Murray State University offers an active, vibrant and challenging environment for its students. From the classroom to the residential college room, the Murray State experience is one which students will harbor for a lifetime.

Intramural sports operate year-round, while fraternities and sororities allow students to form bonds with “brothers” and “sisters” which will last a lifetime. Murray State also attracts a wide array of nationallyacclaimed speakers, top concerts and other events. Perhaps the biggest event on campus each year is Homecoming.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

THE RACERS COACHING STAFF SEASON REVIEW HISTORY

Allen Ward joined the Murray State athletics department as its director on March 30, 2005. Since his arrival, there has been a prevailing theme that symbolizes his administration: steady and significant progress. “It’s an honor to serve as Director of Athletics at Murray State.” said Ward. “I’m very pleased with the direction of the program and confident it’s positioned for long-term success.” The most recent illustration of Ward’s stamp on the program was Murray State’s capturing of the 2008-09 OVC Commissioners Cup, a symbol of overall athletic excellence in OVC sponsored championships. “The OVC Commissioners Cup signifies excellence throughout the entire program,” said Ward. “It’s a good barometer in measuring the overall success of any athletic department and it’s exactly what I envisioned when I came to Murray State”. It’s the first time since 1991 that Murray State has won the allsports trophy. Ten of Murray’s fifteen sports finished in third place or higher, with three sports winning conference championships. Ward also emphasizes the importance of achievement in the classroom as well. “Our motto is Four Years – Two Goals. We want every student-athlete to leave Murray State with a degree in one hand and a championship ring on the other,” states Ward unrelentingly. “I fully expect our student-athletes to take advantage of their opportunity to receive a quality education while competing at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics.” Each of the past four years, the graduation rates for studentathletes have surpassed that of the general student body. Ward makes no secret where he intends to take the program. “I expect to be a leader in the OVC in everything we do. I expect to win championships and advance to compete on the national stage. I intend to continue to move the program forward,” states Ward.

And Murray moving forward is exactly what has been happening. Over $3.5 million in athletic facility enhancements have been made touching every sport and unit. The department successfully completed its 10-year NCAA Recertification process. The overall APR scores for the department now surpass 960, and the cumulative GPA for student-athletes for the spring, 2009 semester was 3.06. Under Ward’s leadership, the Racer Club was established as the annual fund raising arm of the department and continues to thrive, the sport of softball was introduced to the varsity lineup, additional staff was added in areas vital to student-athlete achievement, a comprehensive Title IX plan was developed and enacted, the Racer Television Network was unveiled, and the athletic program became an official NCAA CHAMPS / Life Skills member. Ward’s has also had to successfully manage unprecedented turnover with its head coaching positions and senior level staff, most notably with its high profile positions. New coaches have been hired for men’s basketball, women’s basketball, football, women’s soccer, softball, rifle, and strength and conditioning. “I like our coaches and staff; it’s a really good group, and they work extremely hard,” noted Ward. “They know what it takes to win championships, but also teach the importance of achieving academically as well.” It’s very clear Ward has a passion and devotion for studentathletes and college athletics. “Their success, and providing the tools necessary to perform at the highest level, is my top priority,” says Ward. “We’re a proud program with a rich tradition that’s fortunate to have extraordinary university leadership. We will continue to win championships while, at the same time, prepare our athletes to excel long after they have played their last game for Murray State.” Ward, 42, came to Murray State from the University of North Texas, where he served in numerous capacities over 14 years for the Division I BCS program, including the last six years as Senior Associate Athletics Director. A native of Rolla, Missouri, Ward is a 1989 graduate of William Jewell College and earned his master’s degree from Wichita State University. Ward and his wife, Sharon, have two children: Nathan, 12, and Nicole, 9.
