NSU ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

Marty Miller.

Director of Athletics Marty Miller has been called many things during his tenure at Norfolk State University. Some have called him a rock.

Others have referred to him as one of Norfolk State’s greatest ambassadors. Regardless of the label, what’s clear is that Miller has served his alma mater in various capacities for nearly 40 years, providing NSU with stability in times of need.

His professional career at Norfolk State has included stints in the areas of financial aid, career services, student affairs and athletics. After winning more than 700 games as the school’s baseball coach, Miller was named NSU’s acting athletics director on December 16, 2004. He was appointed to the permanent athletics director post on March 18, 2005.

Early in Miller’s tenure, he was confronted with many challenges, the biggest one being the hiring of a football coach.

Miller and his search committee worked during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays to find a football coach. The hard work paid off when the decision was made to hire Pete Adrian from Bethune-Cookman.

With approval of then-President Dr. Marie V. McDemmond, Adrian became the first white head coach in any major sport at NSU and the second in MEAC football history.

2011 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Shortly thereafter, with help from alumni, fans, friends and the Department of Facilities Management, the athletics department was able to raise funds to renovate and purchase new equipment for the weight room. In 2007, the school completed a major renovation of the NSU Softball Field, which included the installation of new team dugouts and a press box. Bleacher renovations to Joseph Echols Hall were completed for the 2008-09 basketball season. A new track surface is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2010.

Another highlight of his tenure as athletics director includes NSU capturing the last seven Talmadge Layman Hill awards, given annually to the top men’s sports program in the conference. NSU has received a total of $165,000 for winning the awards.

Miller was also presented in March 2006 with the Tom Fergusson Memorial Award, given annually to the area’s top sportsman by the Norfolk Sports Club.

Miller is no stranger to winning. His career record as baseball coach was 718543-3. Miller first started making a name for himself as a player at NSU from 196568. He hit .380 as a sophomore; .438 with eight doubles, two triples, three homers and 27 RBI as a junior; and .406 as a senior, when he became the first Spartan player to be named an NCAA College Division AllAmerican. Miller was an All-CIAA baseball selection in 1967 and 1968, and led the nation in doubles in 1968.

Miller graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 1969. An ROTC member in college, Miller was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army after he graduated. While on active duty, Miller was signed by the Minnesota Twins. Miller returned to his alma mater in 1972 as an assistant to baseball coach Bob Andrews. The next season, Miller inherited the head-coaching job, which he held until early in 2005.

Miller is the winningest baseball coach in CIAA history, having led the Spartans to a 584-374-3 record in their years in the league.

Miller’s ledger in the CIAA includes 17 conference championships, including seven in a row from 1987-93; 12 post-season appearances; 15 CIAA Coach of the Year awards; six All-Americans and 22 players signed to pro contracts. He also won the 1980 NAIA District 19 Coach of the Year award after his team won the District 19 title. Between 1993-97, Miller won five consecutive Louisville Slugger Awards, given to championship coaches. He was one of a select few baseball coaches to receive the award for five consecutive years.

In 1997, NSU honored Miller by building the Marty L. Miller Baseball Field. One year later, Miller led NSU to the MEAC Tournament championship round in the Spartans’ first year in the league. He was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2000, and NSU reached the championship round again in 2001.

The year 2003 was also a special one for Miller. In February, Miller was inducted into the CIAA’s John B. McLendon Hall of Fame. In May, Miller earned his 700th career win with the Spartans when sixthseeded NSU upset No. 2 Delaware State in the MEAC tournament. In August, Miller the player was honored as one of eight inductees into the Norfolk State University Athletics Foundation Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller was inducted into the Hampton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. He was also chosen to serve in March 2011 to serve on the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame Committee and is also a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Court.

Miller, a native of Danville, Va., also serves as president of the Norfolk Sports Club. He and his wife Liz have one son, Marty Eric, a former NSU outfielder.

ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHTS

Nor folk State University

Athletics Six-Year Highlights (2005-Present)

The Norfolk State University intercollegiate athletics program has experienced unprecedented success at the NCAA Division I level during the past six years (2005-11). This period of progress has been highlighted by improvements in virtually every area critical to transforming the NSU athletics program into a highly competitive program that will consistently challenge for Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and NCAA Division I championships.

The catalyst for these advancements has been Marty Miller, who was appointed athletics director at NSU in December 2004. Miller believes that the mission of the athletics program is an extension of the mission of Norfolk State University. He places an emphasis on areas that impact the welfare of student-athletes. Improving graduation rates, gender equity, and the retention of student-athletes are equally, if not more important, than winning conference and national championships.

However, the initiatives designed to enhance the student-athlete experience and improve the overall administrative process have been successful due to the achievements of the teams and individual athletes. Perhaps the biggest achievement came in early 2009, when the athletics department was recertified to receive NCAA accreditation for the next 10 years. By achieving certification status, NSU is considered to be operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA’s Division I membership.

Numerous staff and coaching hires have been made to enhance the department’s efficacy. New personnel have been hired in the areas of academic support, compliance, business operations and development to meet the growing demand in those departments. A host of new head coaches joined the staff signaling new beginnings in several sports. They included Pete Adrian (Football), Claudell Clark (Baseball), Anthony Evans (Men’s Basketball), Debra Clark (Women’s Basketball), Heidi Cavallo (Softball), Brandon Duvall (Volleyball), and Wilhelmenia Harrison (Bowling). Kenneth Giles (Men’s Track) and Ronda Berard (Women’s Track) were promoted from interim to full-time head coaches in their respective sports.

Giles’ cross country and track teams have dominated the MEAC. Adrian has orchestrated the steady progress of the football team, which came within a game of capturing its first MEAC title in 2007. Evans led the Spartans to the MEAC Tournament championship game in his second year, and Claudell Clark helped guide the baseball team to a runner-up finish at the MEAC Championships in 2008 and 2011.

Harrison was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010-11 after leading the bowling team to MEAC Southern Division regular-season for the second time in three years. Duvall was also named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010 after guiding NSU to its best overall and MEAC record in Division I, while Cavallo led the Spartans to a D-I best 13-game win streak in 2011.

The accomplishments of NSU student-athletes in the classroom since 2005 have been equally impressive. The number of athletes annually named to the MEAC Commissioner’s All-Academic Team has steadily increased, and now numbers 40 or more each year.

ABOUT NSU

Norfolk State University was founded in 1935 as a beacon of hope to the region’s youth—especially within the African American community. Brought to life in the midst of the Great Depression, the university was named the Norfolk Unit of Virginia Union University at its founding and was one of the last historically black institutions established in the Commonwealth of Virginia. By 1969, Norfolk State University began its transformation into a vibrant, independent college and was bestowed university status in 1979.

More than 75 years later, the University remains a source of inspiration for those who aspire to fulfill their dreams. A four-year public institution, NSU is located in the dynamic Hampton Roads region of Virginia and is close to the Virginia Beach oceanfront and downtown Norfolk.

Additionally, NSU is one of the nation’s largest HBCUs with an enrollment of nearly 7,000 students and a faculty of nearly 300, with more than half holding terminal degrees.

The University offers a variety of academic programs within the following schools and colleges: College of Liberal Arts; the College of Science, Engineering and Technology; the Honors College; the School of Business; the School of Education; the Ethelyn R. Strong School of Social Work; the School of Extended Learning; and the Graduate School. NSU offers 32 undergraduate, 16 master’s and three doctoral degrees.

Expanding Learning Capacity

Norfolk State University has been recognized as one of the top 25 producers of cyber security professionals, according to US Black Engineer and Information Technology Magazine. Additionally, the University has also been named in recent years as one of the top 50 producers of African-American Ph.D. recipients, according to Inside Higher Ed. The finding, based on a National Science Foundation report, says that Historically Black Colleges and Universities are graduating a growing share of African Americans who go on to earn Ph.D.s in science and engineering.

NSU’s Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences (DNIMAS), established in 1985, is specifically geared toward increasing the number of Ph.D.s in science technology, engineering, and mathematics. More than 50 percent of DNIMAS scholars have earned advanced degrees.

Norfolk State University also has been named a “military friendly school,” which means that the university is successful at offering the necessary financial benefits, flexibility in scheduling and support programs to service members. Most recently, the university entered into an agreement with the U.S. Navy to provide the bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies through the Navy College Program Distance Learning Partnership coordinated through the School of Extended Learning.

The Navy’s distance learning program is vital in providing sailors with the best possible options for obtaining higher educational degrees wherever they may be assigned. Now, sailors may apply to Norfolk State University to obtain a degree in interdisciplinary studies in an online environment.

Our School of Extended Learning expertly places the convenience of the digital age at the fingertips of learners. The School works with the academic and administrative units of the University by serving as an extension of the NSU campus. It offers coursework through distance education, continuing education and certificate programs. Additional degree programs include Master of Arts degrees in Pre-Elementary Education, Elementary Education (Pre-K-6), Pre-Elementary Early Education with an emphasis on Childhood Special Education and Urban Education, as well as graduate certificates in Transition Special Education and Bilingual Special Education.

Building for the Future

The University is building for the future with the construction of a three-story, 132,000-square-foot library that will house library services, archives and a 24/7 Internet café, individual and group study rooms, a multimedia project room, virtual conference room, a 24-hour study area, exercise equipment, and an African art gallery. One of the new library’s distinguishing features is a 90-foot high glass atrium that will provide

areas to display current student and faculty artwork, and also serve as a gathering area for multi-purpose events. The new library will provide the latest technology and create an exciting study and research environment for students. Upon completion in December 2011, the library will also reshape the look of the campus. The old library will be razed and a beautiful quadrangular pedestrian mall between the new library and the New Student Center will be created.

From the days of the Great Depression to the Digital Age, Norfolk State University continues to achieve. Today, NSU remains an active and vital component of the Hampton Roads region, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation. Our faculty researchers have forged partnerships that have created cutting-edge virtual learning environments and the world’s smallest laser - both of which will have an impact on our everyday lives. Our graduates establish and lead corporations, distinguish themselves in their industries and fields of study and provide humanitarian aid around the world.

Norfolk State University has played a vital role in our community in the past, is serving in a critical role today, and will continue to be an academic leader in the future.

Behold the Green and Gold!

A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Norfolk State University’s proud legacy of achievement in collegiate athletics began at the NCAA Division II level as a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). NSU was one of the league’s most dominant programs, winning championships in every sport the school offered.

In 1997, NSU joined the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), one of only two NCAA Division I conferences comprised of historically black colleges and universities.

Other conference members include: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University.

NSU made an immediate impression in the conference in 2000-01, winning the Talmadge Hill Award – presented annually to the member whose men’s teams compile the most points based on team finishes in conference competition. The Spartans won the T almadge Hill Award again each year from 2005-11. In all, NSU has won conference titles in men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s cross country, and women’s basketball during its brief tenure in the MEAC.

2011 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

HEAD COACH PETE ADRIAN 2008-09, the last year for which data was released, the Spartans ranked first in the nation among all Division I historically black colleges and universities.

Pete Adrian Head Football Coach

When Pete Adrian was named the 16th head coach in Spartan football history on Jan. 19, 2005, he said that Norfolk State was a gold mine waiting to be discovered. After six seasons at the helm of the program, Adrian’s words are proving to be prophetic.

After NSU won a total of two games in the two seasons prior to his arrival, the Spartans won eight games in Adrian’s first two seasons. They matched that eight-win total in 2007 alone and tallied a 7-4 record in 2009, giving the program its first two winning seasons as a Division I program. A 6-5 campaign in 2010 clinched the school’s first-ever back-to-back winning seasons in the school’s Division I era. Adrian’s fouryear record at NSU stands at 34-33.

In the last four years under Adrian, the Spartans have posted a 26-19 mark, the most wins in any four-year stretch of Spartan football since 1982-85 (27-15). A total of 33 Spartans have earned All-MEAC honors in Adrian’s tenure, 28 of them coming in the last four years. That list includes five athletes who have earned various FCS or HBCU All-America honors.

The Spartans have also been successful off the field under Adrian. NSU has ranked first in the MEAC each of the last two years in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate reports, which measure studentathlete graduation rates and retention. In

Adrian became the first NSU football coach to earn MEAC Coach of the Year honors in 2007, when the Spartans posted the school’s first winning season in its Division I history. That team went 8-3 and came within an overtime loss to Delaware State from capturing the program’s first MEAC football championship. In addition to MEAC Coach of the Year honors, Adrian was also named the MEAC Coach of the Year by the 100% Wrong Club of Atlanta, Ga. He was also the recipient of the J. Roy Rodman Memorial Award as the Virginia Collegiate Coach of the Year by the Norfolk Sports Club, another first for an NSU football coach.

A school-record 10 Spartans were named to the All-MEAC football team in 2007.

Included among them was defensive back Terrell Whitehead, who became NSU’s first-ever three-time Division I FCS AllAmerican from 2007-09; and running back DeAngelo Branche, another three-time All-MEAC pick (2008-10) who became the school’s all-time leading rusher during the 2010 season.

After being picked to finish seventh in the preseason MEAC poll, the Spartans won a school-record six MEAC games in 2007.

Along the way, the Spartans also garnered the school’s first-ever Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS, formerly I-AA) national ranking, reaching as high as No. 23.

NSU also set a season attendance record for Dick Price Stadium, averaging 17,220 fans per game. That ranked seventh nationally and first among MEAC and state FCS schools.

The Spartans have made steady strides under Adrian, who stresses a balanced offense and an attacking style of defense.

In 2007, NSU ranked fifth nationally in pass defense (147.8 yards per game allowed) and 19th in total defense (319 ypg), up from 71st the year before. His 2009 defense was his best yet while directing the Spartans. NSU ranked sixth nationally in total defense (265.5 ypg), third in pass defense (141.1 ypg) and 19th in tackles for loss (7.3/game). The 2010 unit produced more of the same results, again earning the No. 6 national ranking in total defense (284.1 ypg).

Adrian has also developed a reputation for being a good recruiter. In his first six full recruiting seasons at the helm of the program, Adrian signed 15 players from the Southeastern Virginia area who were named to The Virginian-Pilot’s All-Tidewater team.

2011 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

HEAD COACH PETE ADRIAN Adrian came to NSU after serving as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for seven seasons at one of the Spartans’ MEAC rivals, Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach, Fla. Adrian joined the Wildcats’ staff in 1997 after serving as head coach and athletic director at Deltona High School in Deltona, Fla., from 1993-96. Adrian left Bethune-Cookman briefly to serve as defensive coordinator of the XFL’s Chicago Enforcers in 2001, and returned to his post at B-CU in 2002.

During his tenure at Bethune-Cookman, Adrian helped the Wildcats to the most successful period in school history. In his seven seasons, the Wildcats went 54-25 and had winning records in each of his last six years there. B-CU made the first two Division I FCS playoff appearances in school history in 2002 and 2003 and won a MEAC title in 2002.

The Wildcat defense was a big reason for that success, regularly ranking among the conference leaders in numerous categories. In 2004, Adrian’s last year with the Wildcats, B-CU finished second in the MEAC in scoring defense (20.9 ppg) and total defense (325.1 ypg). The 2004 unit also forced the second-most turnovers in the MEAC (35).

Adrian has coached numerous players who have reached the professional ranks. Included among them is former NSU defensive back Don Carey, the first Spartan to be drafted in the school’s Division I era. Carey was a sixth-round choice of the Cleveland Browns in the 2009 NFL draft after a senior season which saw him become the first Spartan ever selected to

play in the East-West Shrine Game.

Other pro players whom Adrian has coached include Pro Bowl defensive backs Nick Collins (Green Bay Packers) and Rashean Mathis (Jacksonville Jaguars). Both starred for Adrian’s defenses at Bethune-Cookman. Mathis was the second HBCU athlete to win the Buck Buchanan Award as the top defensive player in Division I FCS. He still holds FCS records for interceptions in a season (14, in 2002) and a career (31). Mathis was one of two MEAC Defensive Players of the Year that Adrian has coached, along with defensive end Steve Baggs in 2003.

Carey and Whitehead (free-agent signee) are both currently on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ roster. Carey earned the starting free safety job early in the 2010 season and started the team’s final 10 games.

Whitehead, meanwhile, was one of four Spartans from the 2009 team to sign a professional contract, along with receiver Chris Bell (free agent, New Orleans Saints), offensive lineman Calton Ford (free agent, Cleveland Browns) and quarterback Dennis Brown (Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders). In all, six Spartans have signed NFL contracts in the last four years (Carey, Whitehead, Bell, Ford,

cornerback Dante Barnes and quarterback Casey Hansen).

Adrian has 42 years of coaching experience, 37 at the collegiate level. He has held assistant coaching positions at West Virginia, Rhode Island and Idaho State.

At Rhode Island, he was on staff for three Yankee Conference championships and NCAA playoff teams. He was also the head coach at Division II Bloomsburg (Pa.) University from 1986-92, compiling a 36-37-1 record. He has the third-most wins of any football coach in Bloomsburg history.

A native of Brilliant, Ohio, Adrian lettered in five sports at Brilliant High School before attending West Virginia. At WVU, he played one year of freshman football (1966) before playing parts of three seasons on the varsity squad in 1967-69. An injury cut short his playing career in Morgantown, W.Va., but he coached the Mountaineers’ freshman football team as a senior in 1969.

He earned his bachelor’s degree from WVU in 1970 and received his master’s from Rhode Island University in 1972.

Adrian and his wife, Christine, have two sons, Rocco and Zach.

COACHING STAFF

Rod Holder

Assistant Head Coach/Off. Line Coach

Rod Holder, who has been a part of three national championship teams as either a player or coach, is in his seventh season as assistant head coach at Norfolk State. He coaches the offensive line.

Holder’s no-nonsense style transformed the NSU offense into one of the more productive, well-balanced units in the MEAC. Last season, the NSU offensive line allowed a MEAC-low 12 sacks, or just 1.09 per game. That figured ranked 18th in the Division I FCS in fewest sacks allowed. Two Spartans earned All-MEAC honors for the second year, as tackle Kendall Noble and center William Falakiseni were both voted to the second team.

Falakiseni and Noble led a veteran line that paved the way for running back DeAngelo Branche to

Mark DeBastiani

Defensive Coordinator/Outside Linebackers Coach

Mark DeBastiani is in his seventh season as the defensive coordinator/outside linebackers coach for Norfolk State University.

In the last six years, the NSU defense has evolved from one of the more porous in the MEAC to one of the stronger units not only in the conference, but in the nation. In each of the last two seasons, the Spartans have ranked sixth in the nation in total defense. The 2010 unit yielded just 284.1 yards per

become NSU’s all-time leading rusher. Branche ran for a MEAC-leading 1,330 yards in 2010, the secondmost for a single season in NSU history. As a team, NSU averaged 174.6 rushing yards per game, No. 3 in the MEAC and NSU’s highest tally since 2005.

In 2009, an NSU-record three Spartan offensive linemen earned All-MEAC honors: Falakiseni, Noble and tackle Calton Ford. Falakiseni was also named to the SBN Black College All-American team. That trio of linemen helped NSU finish the 2009 campaign ranked third in the MEAC in both scoring offense (26.6 ppg) and total offense (348.4 ypg).

Holder had an immediate impact on the NSU front line. In Holder’s first year with the program (2005), the offensive line helped the Spartans finish fourth in the conference in total offense with just one senior starter. NSU ranked third in the MEAC in passing yards per game in 2006 and third in scoring offense in 2007.

To date, Holder has helped tutor six Spartans who have earned All-MEAC recognition. In addition to Falakiseni, Ford and Noble, guard Tyrus Lassiter was a second-team pick in 2005, tackle Emanuel Swindell was a second-team selection in 2006 and Black College All-American guard Jason Kressen was named to the first team in 2007.

Holder came to NSU after serving as offensive line coach at Rutgers University in 2004. That season, Rutgers led the Big East in passing offense (310.5 yards per game) and was third in total offense (394 ypg). The Scarlet Knights also allowed the secondfewest sacks in the conference (20 in 11 games).

Prior to working at Rutgers, Holder coached the offensive line at Western Illinois University from 2002-03. The Leathernecks’ offense averaged over 36 points per game in each of his two seasons there, and finished in the top two of the Gateway Conference in total offense both seasons. In that time, Western Illinois compiled a 20-6 record and finished

No. 5 in the ESPN/USA Today Division I-AA Coaches Poll in both 2002 and 2003. Holder also helped coach All-American lineman Fred Layne in 2003.

Holder served as assistant offensive line coach at Miami (Fla.) in 2002 when the Hurricanes won the Rose Bowl and the national title.

As a player at Miami from 1986-89, he earned over 20 starts on the offensive line and helped the Hurricanes to national titles in 1987 and 1989 under legendary coach Jimmy Johnson. In his four years as a letterwinner there, Holder helped the ‘Canes compile a 45-3 record and three bowl wins, two in the Orange Bowl and one in the Sugar Bowl. He graduated in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in business.

Holder played for one season in the World League of American Football with the New York/New Jersey Knights in 1991. Holder began his coaching career as an offensive line coach for three Miami, Fla., area high schools from 1992-97. He then served as the graduate assistant offensive line coach at the University of Illinois in 1997-98, while earning his master’s degree in educational policy studies. Holder then coached at Northeastern in 1999 and at Bentley in 2000. He joined the XFL as offensive line coach of the Chicago Enforcers in 2001, before returning to Miami later that year. While in the XFL, he worked alongside Spartans’ head coach Pete Adrian, who was the defensive coordinator.

game, while the 2009 team allowed just 265.5 yards per game.

The growth has been gradual. In 2006, NSU ranked fifth in the nation in tackles for losses and 19th in sacks per game. In 2007, the Spartans ranked fifth in pass defense and 19th in total defense. Twin linebackers Maguell and Marquez Davis earned AllMEAC recognition in 2007, with Marquez also earning honorable mention All-American accolades. In 2008, the Spartans ranked eighth in the nation in turnover margin (+14), and sixth in turnovers forced (34).

The Spartans’ continued building on that success in 2009. The 2009 unit ranked third in the MEAC in scoring defense (19.2 points per game) along with their top-10 national ranking in total yards allowed (265.5). Both marks are the best that an NSU defense has recorded under the current staff.

DeBastiani has won a conference championship at each of his previous coaching stops. He was the defensive line coach and video coordinator at Bethune-Cookman University for eight seasons prior to coming to NSU. There, DeBastiani worked alongside NSU head coach Pete Adrian, then the Wildcats’ defensive coordinator, in turning the Bethune-Cookman defense into a force.

The Wildcats’ 3-4 ball-hawking defense was a key to the team’s ascent to the top of the MEAC. The Wildcats ranked 13th and eighth, respectively, in Division I-AA total defense in their two national playoff seasons, 2002 and 2003. B-CU ranked second in the conference in 2004 in scoring defense and total defense. He also helped tutor one All-American, defensive lineman Damion Cook, from 1997-2000.

Prior to joining the B-CU staff, DeBastiani coached the defensive tackles at Appalachian State University from 1995-96. In 1995, Appalachian State went undefeated in the regular season, won the Southern Conference championship, and advanced to the Division I-AA quarterfinals.

DeBastiani also coached the offensive and defensive lines at his alma mater, Division II Shepherd (W.Va.) College, in 1993 and 1994, helping the Rams to the 1994 West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship.

DeBastiani earned his bachelor’s degree in health from Shepherd in 1993. He lettered three years for the Shepherd football team and started two years at center. During his career there, he was a member of back-to-back WVIAC championship teams (1991-92). The 1991 team advanced to the NAIA quarterfinals and the 1992 team made it to the NAIA semifinals.

A native of Arthurdale, W.Va., DeBastiani was a football and basketball letterwinner in high school. He is married to wife Christine, and the couple has two children, Benjamin and Maria. The family currently resides in Chesapeake.

son charge also helped running back DeAngelo Branche became the school’s all-time leading rusher after recording 1,330 yards in 2010, secondmost for a single season in school history. Branche ran for 631 yards in the last four games to surge into the record books.

Blackwell spent six seasons at South Carolina State, one of NSU’s MEAC rivals, from 2004-09.

He assisted in the Bulldogs’ back-to-back MEAC championship seasons in 2008 and 2009, and was also on staff as the Bulldogs shared the 2004 MEAC crown with Hampton.

After serving as tight ends coach his first two seasons in Orangeburg, Blackwell assumed the role of offensive line coach and offensive coordinator for his last four seasons there. Blackwell directed one of the conference’s most potent units.

Under his tutelage, SCSU players have won the last four MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year awards.

Since 2006, the Bulldogs finished no worse than second in the conference in total offense, including three straight years (2006-08) where they finished first. The Bulldogs also paced the conference in rushing offense in 2006 and 2007. In 2008 and 2005, the SCSU offensive line topped the MEAC in fewest sacks allowed.

Blackwell coach nine first-team All-MEAC offensive linemen the last four seasons who helped pave the way for running back William Ford to become the MEAC’s all-time leading rusher. Ford (’08) and DeShawn Baker (’06) earned MEAC Offensive Player of the Year honors while running behind the Bulldogs’ line.

Prior to joining the Bulldogs coaching staff, Blackwell spent a year at Newberry College in Newberry, S.C., and one season at Pikeville College in Pikeville, Ky. At Newberry, Blackwell served as the team’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. During his stint at Pikeville, Blackwell was linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator.

He also spent a decade in the high school coaching ranks, where he assisted some of the top programs in the state of South Carolina. Blackwell was an assistant on Camden High School’s 2001 Class AAA state championship team. He spent four years at Camden High and served six seasons as the offensive line coach at Berea High School.

A native of Greenville, S.C., Blackwell was a two-year letterwinner at linebacker while attending North Greenville College. He and his wife, Jami, are the parents of three children – son Chanston and two daughters, Maggie and Mackinley Jane.

Whitehead and Carey repeated those honors in 2008, leading NSU to a No. 15 national ranking in pass defense (160.3 ypg). Carey topped off his career by becoming the first Spartan player in the Division I era to be selected in the NFL Draft. He was a sixth-round choice of the Cleveland Browns and is started 10 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2010. Joining Carey on the Jacksonville roster is Whitehead, who signed as a free agent with the team prior to the 2010 season, but spent the year on injured reserve.

Whitehead capped his NSU career by becoming NSU’s first-ever three-time Division I All-American after leading the Spartans to a No. 3 national ranking in pass defense in 2009 (141. ypg).

Despite two new starters in the secondary last year, NSU again cracked the FCS top 10 in pass defense, ranking eighth (153.6 ypg allowed).

One of the leaders of that group, cornerback Dante Barnes, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Redskins.

Prior to joining the coaching staff at NSU, Butler spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Fayetteville State University. He worked with the safeties for FSU, and was also video coordinator and academic coordinator.

At Fayetteville State, Butler coached for two CIAA championship teams, in 2002 and 2003, and one CIAA runner-up team, in 2004. The Broncos made NCAA Division II playoff appearances in two of his last three seasons there.

Butler also has coaching experience beyond the gridiron. He was the head men’s and women’s track coach at Fayetteville State from the fall of

2004 before coming to NSU, and was the head women’s track coach and an assistant for the men’s team in 2002-03.

Butler was a four-year player for Western Carolina University (1995-99), where he played receiver and defensive back for the Catamounts. He earned his bachelor’s degree in sport management with a minor in marketing in May of 2000.

Butler was selected for an internship with the Dallas Cowboys in 2010 as part of the NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship. He worked with the team during its training camp.

DICK PRICE STADIUM

Norfolk State University plays its home football contests in the spacious William “Dick” Price Stadium, named for former NSU athletics director and head football and track coach Dick Price.

Built in 1997, Dick Price Stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000, and is recognized as one of the largest sports and entertainment venues in Hampton Roads. It is also one of the largest Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) oncampus football stadiums in terms of capacity.

The stadium was constructed at a cost of $12.2 million.

Located on the southeast end of campus, the stadium has a brick facade, a natural grass surface, an all-weather, eight-lane rubberized track, a two-story press box and concession areas located throughout the stadium’s ground level.

In 2003, Viacom Outdoor Sports Marketing constructed a $400,000 Opto Tech LED video display board at the east end of the stadium to show crowd and field action shots, pre-recorded messages, live satellite feeds for NSU’s televised games, and more. The track at Dick Price Stadium was renovated to include a world-class new surface during the summer of 2010.

The first contest played in Dick Price Stadium drew a record 33,872 fans, as NSU hosted Virginia State in 1997 in the annual Labor Day Classic.

For the fifth time in the stadium’s short history, Norfolk State ranked in the top 20 in Division FCS in attendance per game in 2007. NSU averaged a Price Stadium record 17,220 fans for its six home games, seventh in the nation and first among both MEAC and state FCS programs. NSU also drew two of the three-largest crowds in Dick Price Stadium history that season. The crowd of

27,756 that saw NSU beat Hampton on Oct. 13 was the secondlargest in stadium history, trailing only the sellout crowd of 34,000 that saw the inaugural game between NSU and Virginia State in 1997. In addition, the crowd of 26,970 that saw the Spartans top Virginia State on Sept. 1 this season was the third-largest attendance figure in stadium history.

NSU also ranked 20th in FCS in attendance in 2005, 15th in 2003, 19th in 2001 and 17th in 1998.

In addition to Spartan home football games, the stadium has also hosted numerous other events and athletic competitions, including the AAU Junior Olympics track and field meets in 1998, 2001, 2006 and 2010.

ABOUT DICK PRICE Dick Price is the winningest football coach in NSU history. He compiled a 62-41-4 record over 10 seasons (1974-83), which included three of NSU’s four CIAA championships. His teams finished .500 or better in eight of his 10 years at the helm of the program. Fifty-three of his players went into the ranks of professional football.

Price put his stamp on Norfolk State in more ways than one. He also coached the men’s track team to NCAA Division II national championships in 1973 and 1974, and was twice named the NCAA Division II Track Coach of the Year. He later served as the Spartans’ athletics director from 1989-99.

He was inducted into the Hampton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame in 1997, and the NSU Athletics Foundation Sports Hall of Fame in 2003.

Price passed away at age 75 in February of 2009.

SEASON OUTLOOK Stout Defense, Retooled Offense Lead NSU in 2011

Fifteen returning starters and more than 40 returning letterwinners will look to continue the recent upward trend for the Spartan football team in 2011. NSU has notched three winning seasons in the last four years, including the school’s first back-to-back winning records (7-4 in 2009, 6-5 in 2010) since moving to the Division I level over a decade ago.

Led by a sturdy defense and a new-look offense, seventh-year NSU head coach Pete Adrian hopes the squad he has assembled is capable of challenging for the MEAC crown.

Following is a position-by-position glance at the 2011 Spartans heading into preseason practice.

Quarterback

The Spartans should have excellent depth under center with the return of a pair of redshirt seniors, a Division I FBS transfer, and two promising freshmen in the fold. Senior Chris Walley headlines the returnees after starting all 11 games in 2010. Walley passed for 1,859 yards and 10 touchdowns last season while completing a single-season school record 61.4 percent of his passes.

Walley finished the season ranked second in the conference in completion percentage and third in passing yards.

“We look for Chris to pick up where he left off,” Adrian said.

“He’s got a good game presence about him in that he never changes his demeanor.”

Walley will be pushed for time, however, by Central Florida transfer Nico Flores. The redshirt sophomore from Miami, Fla., is an athletic signal-caller who complements Walley well. Flores was rated one of the nation’s top 35 quarterback prospects coming out of North Miami Beach High, but was eventually moved to receiver at UCF. “Nico is extremely athletic and has a very strong arm,” Adrian said. “He and Chris have gotten along great. They are competing with each other, but both know they will have the chance to play.”

Redshirt senior Dexter Merritt also returns for NSU after serving as Walley’s backup last season. Injuries have hampered Merritt over the course of his career, but he provides a smart, poised presence off the NSU bench.

Adrian also brings in two athletic high school quarterback recruits in Brendon Riddick (Richmond, Va.) and Wilonte’ Roscoe (Portsmouth, Va.). Riddick accounted for more than 2,500 yards of total offense and 36 touchdowns en route to All-Metro Player of the Year honors at Hermitage High School in Richmond. Roscoe is a dual-threat player from Churchland High School who could play a variety of positions in college thanks to his athleticism.

this season.

“Hedgeman had a great spring,” Adrian said. “I think he’ll show a big improvement because his playing time will increase.

He can expect to get 12-18 touches per game, sometimes more, whereas before he may have gotten 4-8.”

Joining Hedgeman and Brisco in the backfield will be West Hills College (Calif.) transfer Randy Maynes (Miami, Fla.). Maynes (5-9, 170) is a quick runner with good speed who played prep football with Flores and NSU safety Ricardo Volcin at North Miami Beach High School. He ran for 1,500 yards and 16 touchdowns in his two years at West Hills.

Also in the mix are three walk-ons: junior Calvin Roberts and freshmen Dre’Quez Lambert (Virginia Beach, Va.) and Dallas Simmons (Richmond, Va.).

The Spartans also have the services of redshirt senior fullback Josh Alford at their disposal. Alford has been a valuable blocker, short-yardage runner and receiver out of the NSU backfield over the last three years and will be counted upon for more of the same in 2011.

Receiver

Heading into the 2010 season, NSU was relatively inexperienced at the receiver positions. The opposite is true this year, as the Spartans return their top two pass-catchers and have several other players who gained the first significant playing time of their careers last year.

Leading the way are redshirt senior Victor Hairston and redshirt junior Reggie Garrett. Both have switched positions since coming to NSU, and both are now thriving in their new roles. Hairston, a former running back, led the Spartans and ranked second in the conference with 52 receptions last year. He also led the team with 580 receiving yards, and he hauled in two touchdown catches.

Garrett began his career at NSU as a walk-on quarterback, only to make the move to wideout last year. He worked his way up the depth chart last year before bursting onto the scene with 30 catches, 436 yards and a team-high three TDs – all coming in the final five games of the year. Despite not catching a pass until the

Running Back

NSU must replace its all-time leading rusher in DeAngelo Branche, the conference’s leading rusher with 1,330 yards last season. The Spartans may not have one player who will replace all of Branche’s production, but NSU has several options with different styles and abilities. The most experienced options are redshirt juniors Takeem Hedgeman and Markeith Brisco. Hedgeman was Branche’s backup for the majority of 2010. Hedgeman finished second on the team with 220 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Brisco had 141 rushing yards and one score in limited touches. Both will have the chance to carry a heavier load

Reggie Garrett caught 30 passes for 436 yards for NSU last year - all in the final five games of the season.

2011 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

SEASON OUTLOOK seventh game of 2010, Garrett finished the season ranked 10th in the conference in receiving yards.

“We look for more of the same from Victor and Reggie,” Adrian said. “They both were very consistent last season and we’ll need that from them again this year.”

NSU often starts three or more wide receivers in its spread offense, so the Spartans will be searching to build depth at those positions. Sophomore speedster Kelvin Lewis returns after catching four passes for 78 yards (19.5 average) as a freshman last season. Sophomore Derrick Demps and junior Tyrece Shepherd both caught just one pass each last season, but saw increased playing time as the year progressed.

Seniors Seth Travers and Josh Reamon will also be given the chance to earn more prominent roles.

Adrian also brings in three new wideouts to add depth.

Freshmen DeAndre Sangster, Holden Bass and Keith Johnson all possess good speed and will have the chance to see the field immediately.

“At this point, we aren’t looking to redshirt any of the freshman receivers,” Adrian said. “All of them will be given the chance to earn playing time right away.”

The Spartans only got 11 total receptions from their tight end position last year, but coaches expect that number to increase in 2011. Three-year starter Sherron Childress is gone, but NSU returns fifth-year senior Joseph Holbrook, who had two catches last year in limited action. The Spartans also moved Joe Hawkins, who played receiver most of last year, to tight end. Hawkins had nine catches last year, and coaches think his combination of size and speed will translate to the game better at tight end. The Spartans also welcome in freshmen James Lynch (Darby, Pa.), Tevin White (Chesapeake, Va.) and Joey Wood (Chesapeake, Va.) to that position and think they could also factor in.

Offensive Line

The Spartans must replace four players who accounted for 41 starts last year along their offensive line in guards Calton Ford and Markeece Preston, center William Falakiseni and tackle Ryan Hathaway. They helped NSU lead the MEAC in fewest sacks allowed last season (12) and rank third in the conference in total offense each of the last two years.

“Offensive line is probably the biggest question mark we have going into preseason camp,” Adrian said. “But we had several players step up this spring, and with (offensive line coach Rod) Holder, I know we’ll have a solid group.”

The Spartans do return two key holdovers from last year’s line, led by two-time All-MEAC left tackle Kendall Noble. Now a redshirt senior, Noble has started 32 consecutive games and was a second-team all-conference pick last year. Junior Michael Kay is NSU’s most experienced returning lineman outside of Noble.

Kay started the final three games of the year at left guard, but has earned the starting center spot heading into the 2011 season.

Redshirt juniors Blake Matthews, Theo Duncan and Kenneth Johnson have served as reserves throughout their careers at NSU, but all will be given the chance to earn starting spots this season – Johnson at right tackle, and Duncan and Matthews at the guard positions. All three worked with the first-team line during spring practice and drew praise from the coaching staff for

their improvement.

Julius Wormley, E.J. Rogers and Justin Myler all sat out the 2010 season but will be given the chance to crack the two-deep along the line this fall. Coaches are also excited about the potential of freshman recruits George Riddick (Suffolk, Va.) and Ramsey Henderson (Washington, D.C.).

Defensive Line

NSU is well-stocked with experienced defensive linemen. It all starts with redshirt senior nose guard Josh Turner, a two-time All-MEAC selection who tied for the team-lead with 12.0 tackles for loss last season. Turner’s strength and quickness in the middle of the line are a key factor in the success of the Spartans’ 3-4 scheme.

Senior Joey Christine flanks Turner at one of the two defensive tackle spots. Christine started all 11 games last season and was in on 21 tackles, 2.5 for loss. NSU lost its other starting tackle, Ray Jennings (12.0 TFL, team-high 5.0 sacks), but the Spartans have no shortage of bodies to man his position and add quality depth. Senior Steven Bunce has played in 25 games in his first three years. He appeared in just five games last season due to a nagging knee injury. Sophomore Matthew Grant played in six games as a true freshman last season and flashed good athleticism.

Also back in the mix is redshirt junior Tory Williams. The 6-4, 290-pound Williams missed last season due to surgery to correct a medical problem, but should also be at full strength for the 2011 season. Williams made 17 tackles, 4.0 for loss, as a backup during his redshirt freshman season of 2009.

Turner will be backed up by sophomore Nico Washington, who played in all 11 games last year as a true freshman. Redshirt freshman Tremondae Branch is also in the mix.

The Spartans are also looking for big things from Michigan State transfer Cameron Jude (Richmond, Va.). A former high school teammate of Turner, Jude sat out last season after transferring and will have two years of eligibility remaining.

SEASON OUTLOOK Continued from page 29 The Spartans also welcome freshman De’Ante Williams (Washington, D.C.), who played both sides of the line at St. Johns College High School.

“We feel like we have nine linemen who can all contribute, and that is key in the defensive schemes we run,” Adrian said.

Linebacker

Seven of last season’s top nine linebackers return to the Spartan defense in 2011, including all four starters from the end of the 2010 campaign. The lengthy list of returnees includes the team’s leading tackler in redshirt senior Corwin Hammond. Hammond registered 76 total tackles, 11.0 for loss and 4.5 sacks in 2010. That was enough to earn him 2011 preseason recognition for the FCS Linebacker of the Year Award. His partner at the inside linebacker positions is also back in the form of redshirt senior Onyemechi Anyaugo. Anyaugo started the final five games of 2010 after a season-ending knee injury to All-MEAC linebacker Anthony Taylor. Anyaugo performed admirably, finishing third on the squad with 47 tackles, 3.5 for loss.

Hammond and Anyaugo will be backed up by junior Eric Hitch and senior Trent Porter, who both saw increased playing time as the season progressed.

“I think both Corwin and “Amechi” will have a chance to earn All-MEAC honors this season,” Adrian said. “I thought both were very solid last year and had great spring practices.”

The Spartans’ top three outside linebackers all return: senior Hasan Craig and juniors Terrence Pugh and Jamal Giddens. Craig and Pugh both started all 11 games last season, with Craig making 29 tackles and Pugh 27 (including 6.5 TFL).

Giddens, who came off the bench in 2010 in his first year after transferring from Liberty, will also push for a starting position after a standout spring. He made 17 tackles (2.5 TFL) last year.

Also adding depth to the outside linebacker position this season is Syracuse transfer Chad Battles. Battles, a Newport News native, will be playing this season as a graduate student at NSU. He had one year of eligibility remaining at the time of his graduation from Syracuse in the spring, opening the door for his transfer.

Junior Jamal Giddens is part of a deep linebacking corps for the Spar tans this season.

“We’ll go two-deep with very good players at the outside linebacker positions,” Adrian said. “In all, our front seven on defense is shaping up to be very good and very deep.”

Defensive Back

The Spartan secondary will be anchored by its two returning senior starters at the safety positions, free safety DeVonte Reynolds and strong safety Ricardo Volcin. Both started all 11 games at their respective positions last year. Reynolds was second on the team with 60 total tackles, while Volcin was fifth on the team with 43 stops, including 4.0 for loss and one interception.

Reynolds and Volcin will also help mentor redshirt freshmen Darrin Marrow and Keenan Lambert, the heirs apparent to the safety positions. Adrian says that both have the ability to play either safety position. Both possess ideal athleticism at safety.

NSU will debut two new starting cornerbacks in 2011 after the departure of Jamie Short and Dante Barnes. Short started 38 games in his four-year career, while Barnes started 14 times in his two years at NSU. The Spartans should have six players jockey for time at cornerback: senior Marquis Cuffee, redshirt junior Marcus Cooperwood, sophomores Marcus Center, Natturner Harris and Nick Taylor, and redshirt freshman Dionte Sullivan.

Cuffee has mostly been a special teams player and reserve during his career. Cooperwood was a second-string corner in 2009 before missing last year with a knee injury. Harris, meanwhile, made one start in place of Barnes last year. Both he and Center had 13 tackles and two pass breakups, Taylor had an interception off the bench, and Sullivan impressed on the scout team.

“We lose both starters at corner, but Center and Harris played a good deal last season off the bench. Cooperwood did the same in 2009,” Adrian said. “So inexperience isn’t much of an excuse.

As usual, we look to rotate a number of players at those spots.”

Special Teams

The Spartans will feature a pair of seniors in their kicking game in punter Troy Muenzer and placekicker Ryan Estep. Muenzer punted 48 times for a 36.6-yard average in 2010, while Estep made 11 field goals and converted on 26 of 29 extra points.

Muenzer will be backed up by quarterback Chris Walley. Walley also served as the second-team punter last season, though he never attempted a punt in a game. Estep will have competition from junior college transfer Everett Goldberg (Mesa Ridge, Colo.) and sophomore Ryan Lee. Estep attempted every field goal and extra point last season, while Lee was the primary kickoff man.

Goldberg, who is transferring from the College of the Canyons in California, could challenge for time in both areas this year.

“I thought (Estep) was very consistent, especially later in the year last season,” Adrian says. “Adding Goldberg will give us more depth and competition there.”

The Spartans must find a new long snapper and return specialists this season. NSU lost three-year return man Dwight Fluker-Berry and long snappers Stephen Coffin, Marcus Dodson and Aaron Palmer from last year’s team. Adrian will fill those spots after competition during preseason camp. A number of players could compete for the return specialist positions, while the long snapper duties figure to fall to two freshmen, Ricky Foreman (Chesapeake, Va.) and Alex Killam (Newport News, Va.).

2011 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2010 NOTEBOOK Branche Sets NSU Career Rushing Mark Senior running back DeAngelo Branche became the school’s all-time leading rusher by tallying 1,330 yards on the ground in his final season, bringing his four-year total to 3,678. Branche surpassed LaRue Harrington’s previous mark of 3,659 with career highs of 41 rushes for 233 yards in the season finale at Savannah State. The 233-yard effort surpassed his previous career high of 212 yards that he set the week prior against Delaware State.

Branche’s 1,330-yard senior year is the second-best season for a running back in Spartan annals, trailing only Angelo Todd’s record 1,467-yard performance in 1998.

Senior running back DeAngelo Branche (#3) poses with his blockers after becoming NSU’s all-time leading rusher with a 233-yard performance in the season finale against Savannah State.

4 Spartans Named to All-MEAC Teams Branche was the lone Spartan to earn first-team AllMEAC honors, but three of his teammates earned secondteam accolades. Offensive linemen Kendall Noble and William Falakiseni were named to the All-MEAC second team after blocking for a unit which allowed a MEAC-low 12 sacks. In addition, nose guard Josh Turner was named to the all-conference second team after tallying a team-best 12 tackles for losses.

Branche was also named to the Sheridan Broadcast Network Black College All-America team and to Phil Steele’s FCS All-America third team. Branche also became the first Spartan offensive player to be named All-MEAC three times.

Walley Gets in on Record Breaking Act Branche wasn’t the only Spartan to break a record in 2010. Quarterback Chris Walley finished the season with a 61.4 percent completion percentage (167-of-272). That broke the previous single-season school record held by Aaron Sparrow, who completed 59.8 percent in 1994.

and ranked second in the MEAC with 52 catches, or 4.7 per game. He was moved from running back to receiver in the 2010 spring practice.

Former scout team quarterback Reggie Garrett was moved to wideout prior to the season. After starting off the year down the depth chart, he was given a chance as the season progressed. He made the most of it by catching 30 passes for 436 yards and a team-high three touchdowns, all coming in the season’s final five games. That included a 176-yard day in the finale at Savannah State, the most for an NSU receiver and second-most for a MEAC player in 2010.

Defense Stands Tall Once More For the second straight year, the NSU defense ranked sixth in the nation in fewest yards allowed, at 284.1 per game. Only South Carolina State (209) and Hampton (271.5) ranked ahead of the Spartans among MEAC teams.

The 2009 defense also ranked sixth nationally in yards allowed, at 265.5.

Last year’s unit also ranked highly in the national statistics in pass defense Senior defensive lineman Ray Jennings was part of a stingy defense which (eighth, 153.6 yards per ranked sixth in the nation in fewest game allowed) and tackles yards allowed. for loss (31st, 6.9 per game).

Going Out with a Bang The Spartans won their final four games of 2010, giving the NSU senior class 26 wins over its four years. That group is the winningest senior class since the 1985 group had 25.

It also marked the first time in the Division I era that the Spartans notched winning records in back-to-back years.

Offense Comes to Life as Spartans End Year Hot Awas thanks in part to a revamped offense, which moved to a more up-tempo style of spread offense in the final four games. Under the direction of interim offensive coordinator Joe Blackwell, the Spartans averaged 30 points and 436.3 yards per game en route to a perfect record over the season’s final four games.

Hairston, Garrett Emerge at Wideout NSU entered the 2010 season inexperienced at the wide receiver positions, but two players who began their NSU careers at other positions emerged to lead the receiver corps. Former running back Victor Hairston led the team 2011 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 1 • Sept. 2, 2010 • Rutgers Stadium • Piscataway, N.J.

Rutgers 31 NSU 0 For 30 minutes, the Norfolk State football team stood toe-to-toe with Rutgers of the Big East. But two Scarlet Knights’ touchdowns in a span of 2 minutes, 10 seconds in the third quarter proved to be too much for the Spartans to overcome as Rutgers took a 31-0 win in the season-opener for both teams in front of 46,311 fans at Rutgers Stadium.

Led by a spirited defensive effort, NSU (0-1) trailed just 6-0 at the half. But a short touchdown run by Joe Martinek, followed shortly thereafter by a blocked punt returned for another score, spurred the Scarlet Knights onto victory.

The game started inauspiciously for NSU, which was held threeand-out on its first drive. Rutgers then marched 45 yards in 11 plays and settled for a 31-yard San San Te field goal for the game’s first points with 7:30 left in the first quarter.

NSU picked up a pair of first downs to start its next possession as Chris Walley connected with Victor Hairston for 18 yards and Jeremy Wicker for 21 yards on consecutive plays. A pass interference penalty on the Scarlet Knights helped NSU get a third first down, this one inside the RU 20. But the drive stalled at the Rutgers 13 as Walley fumbled a second-down snap which was recovered by RU’s Eric LeGrand at the 17-yard line.

Walley hooked up with Hairston again on a 48-yard pass play on the first play of NSU’s next drive, but Ryan Estep missed a 39-yard field goal on the second play of the second quarter as RU held onto the lead.

The Spartans’ defense remained up to the challenge in the second quarter, allowing just a controversial last-second field goal at the firsthalf buzzer. The first-half clock appeared to run out after a 29-yard pass from Tom Savage to Mohamed Sanu down to the NSU 2-yard line. But the referees allowed Rutgers to snap the ball on a 20-yard field goal try by Te, which he nailed through the uprights for a 6-0 Scarlet Knights lead going into the half.

Rutgers’ offense finally picked up some momentum midway through the third quarter as the Spartans started feeling the effects of the humid conditions, with the pregame temperature hovering close to 90 degrees.

On a drive in which six Spartans went down due to cramps, the Scarlet Knights moved 75 yards in seven plays, capped by a 6-yard touchdown run by Martinek, to extend their lead. Sanu ran in the two-point conversion to make it 14-0 with 7:55 left in the period.

NSU was held three-and-out on its next possession when Rutgers added to its momentum. Brandon Bing blocked a Troy Muenzer punt and Joe Lefeged scooped it up and ran it in for a 3-yard touchdown that gave the Scarlet Knights a 21-0 lead with 5:45 remaining in the third quarter.

Savage hit Sanu on a 10-yard TD pass with 8:27 left in the game to extend the lead to 28-0. Te split the uprights for a 27-yard field goal with 4:40 to go for the final scoring margin.

NSU’s offense was led by Hairston, a junior wideout and converted running back making his first career start. He led all players with five catches for 82 yards. Walley was 11-of-23 passing for 131 yards.

Defensively, NSU’s inside linebacker tandem of Corwin Hammond and Anthony Taylor (combined for 22 tackles. Hammond had a game-high 12 stops, two for a loss, and one sack. Taylor had 10 tackles and one sack.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 2 • Sept. 11, 2010 • Norfolk, Va. • Dick Price Stadium

NSU 23 North Carolina A&T 14 Senior running back DeAngelo Branche rushed a career-high 38 times for 170 yards and a touchdown to earn Norfolk State MVP honors, and the Spartans’ defense held the North Carolina A&T defense to 156 total yards in a 23-14 NSU victory in the 63rd annual Fish Bowl Classic.

Branche was the workhorse for the Spartans, besting his career high in carries by eight and missing the school record by five. He missed his career high in yardage by just 11 yards.

But it was quarterback Chris Walley who got NSU off to a quick start.

After the Spartan defense held A&T three-and-out on the game’s first possession, Walley engineered a six-play, 80-yard drive on NSU’s first possession. Walley completed all four of his passes for 69 yards on the opening march, hitting junior Victor Hairston for a 27-yard touchdown pass with 11:16 left in the first quarter. It was Walley’s first career TD pass at NSU and Hairston’s first receiving score as a Spartan.

Branche capped a 10-play, 68-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run on the first play of the second quarter to give the Spartans a 13-0 edge. The extra point attempt by Ryan Estep missed wide left.

The Spartan defense continued to stifle the Aggies, but an NSU miscue got A&T on the board. On the Spartans’ next possession, a high snap from center resulted in a fumble, which A&T’s Brandon Hover returned 9 yards for a touchdown to cut the Spartans’ lead to 13-7 with 11:29 left in the half.

A&T had momentum to start the third quarter before the Spartans’ defense struck for a big play. Aggie quarterback Shelton Morgan appeared to run for a first down at midfield, but NSU linebacker Corwin Hammond jarred the ball loose at the end of the play. Spartan safety Dwight FlukerBerry scooped up the fumble and ran it back 50 yards for a touchdown and a 20-7 NSU lead with 8:12 remaining in the third quarter.

Branche carried five times on NSU’s next drive, which ended in a 27yard Estep field goal with 1:52 left in the third quarter.

The Aggies made it interesting when their game MVP, Torrian Warren, returned the ensuing kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown, cutting their deficit to 23-14. But the Spartan defense held A&T to just one first down in the final quarter to preserve the victory.

NSU held a 356-156 edge in total offense, and held the ball for 37 minutes, 33 seconds. Branche tallied 188 all-purpose yards – 170 rushing and 18 receiving. Walley had an efficient game under center, completing 17 of 26 passes for 161 yards. Hairston led NSU with 58 receiving yards, while running back Donovan Cotton had a career-best five receptions.

No Spartan defender had more than six tackles, but the Spartans had several standouts. Lineman Ray Jennings had five tackles, 2.5 for loss, including one sack. Hammond and Josh Turner also had five tackles apiece, with Turner tallying 1.5 tackles for loss and Hammond combining on a sack with Lamont Thorpe.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 3 • Sept. 18, 2010 • Norfolk, Va. • Dick Price Stadium

NSU 51 Virginia State 28 Senior running back DeAngelo Branche rushed for 167 yards and a career-high four touchdowns to lead Norfolk State to its most points in five years in a 51-28 rout of Virginia State.

Quarterback Chris Walley completed 17-of-22 passes for 237 yards and two scores for the Spartans (2-1), who piled up 505 yards of total offense en route to their fifth straight win over the Trojans (2-1). The fivegame winning streak is NSU’s longest in the series, which dates to 1963.

The 51 points recorded by NSU is the team’s most since a 58-29 win at Savannah State on Oct. 1, 2005.

NSU jumped out to a 21-0 lead after the first quarter and led 34-7 at the half. Special teams played a big key in the Spartans’ early success.

After forcing a VSU punt after the first drive of the game, NSU senior Dwight Fluker-Berry returned the ensuing punt 66 yards to the Trojans’ 2.

That set up Branche’s first score of the night, a 2-yard run.

After the Trojans went three-and-out on their next possession, Fluker-Berry’s 17-yard punt return set NSU up at the VSU 47. Walley then hit Kelvin Lewis on a 46-yard bomb on the next play, setting up Branche’s 1-yard TD run with 9:27 left in the first quarter. That made it 14-0 in favor of the Spartans.

Next, it was Jeremy Wicker’s turn to set NSU up with good field position. He returned a Trojan punt 21 yards to the Spartans’ 49. Nine plays later, Walley hooked up with running back Donovan Cotton for a 26-yard scoring pass and a 21-0 NSU lead with 4:01 left in the quarter.

The Spartans’ first drive of the second quarter went 80 yards in eight plays, with Branche plunging in from 2 yards out to give NSU the 28-0 lead with 7:58 left in the half.

VSU got on the board on Antwain Lyde’s 6-yard run with 2:59 left in the half. The score was set up by a 56-yard completion from Jarred Battle to Corey Young. It was Battle’s first completion of the night after 11 straight incompletions to begin the game.

Wicker kept up the theme of long kick returns for the Spartans, running the ensuing kickoff back 36 yards. A 15-yard penalty on the Trojans moved the ball into VSU territory. Six plays later, NSU was in the end zone again as Walley hit Victor Hairston for a 17-yard touchdown pass, their second scoring hookup in as many weeks. The extra point failed, but NSU led 34-7 at halftime.

The Spartans kept the momentum going into the second half, taking the third-quarter kickoff and driving 73 yards in 11 plays. Branche scored his fourth and final touchdown of the night on a 1-yard run to finish off the march with 10:10 remaining in the quarter.

The Trojans would find life later, scoring on three straight possessions. Battle found Timothy Paulk for a 32-yard scoring pass to cut NSU’s lead to 41-14. Ryan Estep extended NSU’s lead back to 30, 44-14, with a 22-yard field goal on the Spartans’ next possession.

But VSU kept coming, drawing within 44-28 with two more scoring drives. Brian Berry took an end-around and scored on a 9-yard run to make it 44-21. After a Spartan fumble, the Trojans marched 40 yards in eight plays, with Rahoo Walker scoring on a 1-yard run to bring VSU within 44-28 with 12:25 remaining in the game.

NSU put the game out of reach once and for all. The Spartans drove 80 yards in 11 plays, 10 of them runs. Markeith Brisco scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 1-yard run with 3:21 left.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 4 • Sept. 25, 2010 • Daytona Beach, Fla. • Municipal Stadium

Bethune-Cookman 21 NSU 7 Bethune-Cookman quarterback Matthew Johnson completed 17 of 27 passes for 225 yards and three scores to help the Wildcats to a 21-7 victory over Norfolk State.

All of Johnson’s TD throws came in the first half, and the Spartans (2-2, 1-1 MEAC) were unable to mount a rally in the second half despite a number of good opportunities.

Johnson helped the Wildcats (3-0, 1-0) drive 69 yards in eight plays on the first drive of the game. He tossed a 16-yard pass to Tony Wilson to open the scoring with 12:15 left.

The teams traded punts, and then Johnson went to work again. He completed a short screen pass to Eddie Poole, who took it 42 yards for a Wildcats’ touchdown with 3:16 left in the first quarter.

The Wildcats resorted to some trickery on their next possession. On 4th-and-5 from the NSU 11, B-CU lined up for a field goal, but NSU called timeout. After the timeout, B-CU ran its offense back out on the field and quickly snapped the ball. Johnson hit Randy James for an 11-yard TD pass with 14:51 left in the second quarter.

All seven of the Spartans’ second-half drives entered Wildcats’ territory, buy only one resulted in points. In the third quarter, Ryan Estep had a 41-yard field goal hit the upright to thwart one drive. Later, an Anthony Taylor fumble recovery set up NSU at the BCU 29. But the Spartans were stopped on 4th-and-2 from the Wildcat 21.

NSU finally got on the board on a 1-yard touchdown run by Takeem Hedgeman with 13:46 left in the game. The sophomore’s first score of the year capped an eight-play, 52-yard drive that lasted 4:10.

The Spartans continued their momentum when Jamie Short recovered Estep’s onside kick. The Spartans then drove to the Wildcat 19. But Chris Walley’s fourth-down pass hit off the outstretched fingers of Joe Hawkins in the end zone and fell incomplete.

The Spartans’ last-gasp drive ended when Walley’s 4th-and-3 pass from the B-CU 12 hit off the hands of Jeremy Wicker near the goal line and was picked off by Arkee Smith with 2:10 left.

B-CU outgained NSU 392-318. The Spartans held B-CU to just 94 yards of offense in the second half.

Walley completed 22 of 42 passes for 196 yards. He was intercepted twice. Victor Hairston and Hawkins notched career highs in receptions with eight and five, respectively. Hairston led all players with 83 receiving yards.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 5 • Oct. 9, 2010 • Orangeburg, S.C. • Oliver C. Dawson Bulldog Stadium

South Carolina State 34 NSU 13 The South Carolina State defense limited visiting Norfolk State to 96 yards of total offense, and Bulldog running back Chris Massey scored a touchdown rushing and receiving as the ninth-ranked Bulldogs beat the Spartans 34-13.

The win was the 21st straight in MEAC play for the two-time defending conference champion Bulldogs (4-1, 2-0 MEAC). NSU (2-3, 1-2), meanwhile, has now lost two straight.

The Spartans started fast thanks to a big play from their defense.

Junior safety Ricardo Volcin intercepted a Malcolm Long sideline pass on the second play from scrimmage and returned it 39 yards for an NSU touchdown. The extra point by Ryan Estep gave the Spartans a 7-0 lead just 59 seconds into the game.

But NSU’s special teams problems surfaced later in the quarter. A low punt snap went past Spartan punter Troy Muenzer. His last-ditch effort to punt the ball off the ground did not reach the line of scrimmage, and Bulldog Troy McFadden caught the low kick and ran it back 47 yards for the tying touchdown with 10:25 left in the first quarter.

After forcing NSU to punt on the ensuing drive, the Bulldogs drove 64 yards in 10 plays for the go-ahead score. Long hit Massey on a 9-yard TD pass to make it 14-7 with 3:32 remaining in the first quarter.

The Spartans would get as close as 14-10 on Estep’s career-long 42-yard field goal with 13:37 left in the second quarter. The kick capped a 13-play, 47-yard drive.

SCSU pushed its lead to 21-10 on Long’s 1-yard QB sneak on its next possession, finishing off a nine-play, 60-yard drive. Blake Erickson then helped SCSU take a 24-10 advantage into the half thanks to a 39-yard field goal just 1:12 before the break.

After forcing NSU to punt after the first possession of the second half, Erickson pushed the Bulldogs’ edge to 27-10 with a 22-yard field goal.

Estep hit his second field goal of the day with 10:43 left in the game to bring NSU within two touchdowns, at 27-13. The score was set up after the Spartans got excellent field position when Victor Hosten recovered a fumbled SCSU punt at the Bulldog 9.

But NSU could only manage one more first down the rest of the way, and Massey capped the scoring with a 4-yard TD run with 2:29 left in the game.

Massey had 23 carries for 82 yards for SCSU, which was held to 297 yards of offense by the Spartan defense. Long was 12-of-20 through the air for 125 yards with one score and one interception.

DeAngelo Branche led the NSU offense with 17 rushes for 53 yards.

Branche, who entered the day as the fourth-leading rusher in NSU history, moved past Orlando Goodhope and Terrell Johnson into second on the all-time rushing list with 2,828 yards. NSU, however, managed just 55 yards passing. Quarterback Chris Walley was harassed into 10-of-24 passing and was sacked three times.

Spartan free safety DeVonte Reynolds had a career-high 12 tackles, 1.5 for loss, to lead the NSU defense.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 6 • Oct. 16, 2010 • Hampton, Va. • Armstrong Stadium

Hampton 7 NSU 6 Antwon Chisholm scored on a 7-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and Hampton made it stand for a 7-6 win over Norfolk State in the 48th annual Battle of the Bay. On a cool, windy afternoon, the game was dominated by the two teams’ rushing attacks and defenses. Spartan senior DeAngelo Branche led all players with 132 rushing yards and sophomore Takeem Hedgeman added a career-high 56 yards, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Spartans (2-4, 1-3 MEAC) from dropping their third straight.

Hampton (5-1, 4-0) got on the board first on Chisholm’s 7-yard touchdown run with 2:07 left in the first half. It capped a seven-play, 75-yard drive.

NSU drew within 7-6 on a 1-yard run by Branche with 9:35 remaining in the third quarter, but Ryan Estep missed the extra point wide to the right.

The drive took eight plays and 77 yards, all on the ground.

But neither team scored again. The Spartans had the ball twice more in Pirate territory, but could not convert. NSU drove 42 yards to the Hampton 37 late in the third quarter, but Chris Walley’s deep pass for Kelvin Lewis was intercepted by Ricardo Silva at the Hampton 5.

The Spartan defense kept the team in it with two key stops. After the interception, Hampton drove 65 yards in 14 plays to the Spartans 30. But the center of the NSU defense, aided by linebacker Onyemechi Anyaugo, stuffed quarterback David Legree shy of a first down on a QB sneak, giving the Spartan offense the ball back.

The teams traded punts, and HU tried to put the game away. But the NSU defense held again, and Pirate kicker Rodrigo Hernandez missed a 40-yard field goal with 1:07 left in the game.

Without a timeout, the Spartans got three consecutive first downs on their final drive as Walley hit Victor Hairston for two completions of 12 yards apiece, and Jeremy Wicker once for 15 yards to reach the Pirates’ 37. After spiking the ball to stop the clock, Walley threw incomplete on second and third down. On 4th-and-10, Hampton’s Matt Davis and Brandon Peguese tackled Walley after a 2-yard gain to thwart the Spartans’ final chance.

Hampton outgained NSU 282-258 in total offense. The Spartans grounded out 207 rushing yards, their second-best effort of the year, but only completed 7 of 22 passes for 51 yards.

Branche was named NSU’s Battle of the Bay MVP. This marked the third time in four games against the Pirates that Branche has topped the 100-yard mark. It was also the senior’s third 100-yard game of the season.

Chisholm had 98 yards on 17 rushes to lead the Pirates.

Senior linebacker Anthony Taylor paced the Spartan defense with nine tackles before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent knee injury. Hasan Craig recovered a fumble to end one Hampton drive inside the red zone in the first half.

Darius Johnson had 10 tackles for Hampton to earn the Pirates’ MVP award.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 7 • Oct. 23, 2010 • Norfolk, Va. • Bragg Memorial Stadium

Florida A&M 17 NSU 13 DeAngelo BrAnche

Philip Sylvester ran 23 times for 130 yards and scored the winning touchdown on a 10-yard run with 6:21 left in the game to lift Florida A&M to a 17-13 victory over Norfolk State on NSU’s homecoming.

Sylvester’s TD capped a 13-play, 98-yard drive that proved to be the difference, sending the Spartans (2-5, 1-4 MEAC) to their fourth straight loss in front of a homecoming crowd of 21,118, a season high.

Turnovers played a key role in the first half, which ended in a 10-10 deadlock. NSU kick returner Dwight Fluker-Berry fumbled the opening kickoff, and FAMU’s DeAndre Mitchell recovered at the Spartan 11. The Spartan defense stood tall, with FAMU settling for a 28-yard Trevor Scott field goal to take a 3-0 lead just 1:51 into the contest.

After an NSU punt, the Rattlers drove into Spartan territory trying to add to their lead. But Martin Ukpai’s pass was intercepted by Dante Barnes, who returned it 68 yards for an NSU touchdown with 5:54 remaining in the first quarter.

The Spartan defense came up with another takeaway on their half of the field in the second quarter. Ukpai fumbled a handoff attempt, and Spartan linebacker Hasan Craig recovered at the NSU 38. Ten plays later, Ryan Estep drilled a 41-yard field goal with 7:07 left in the second quarter, stretching NSU’s lead to 10-3.

But FAMU tied the score just before half. Ukpai helped engineer a seven-play, 85-yard drive, which he capped with a 1-yard TD run just 17 seconds before halftime. Scott’s extra point tied the game at 10-all.

The scoring march was aided by a 39-yard reverse pass from Antonio Lawrence to Kevin Elliott.

The Spartans regained the lead on their second possession of the second half. Estep kicked a 26-yard field goal to cap an 11-play, 31-yard drive.

With its defense playing stout, NSU pinned FAMU at the 2-yard line after a 39-yard Troy Muenzer punt early in the fourth. But the Rattlers marched 98 yards in 13 plays for what proved to be the winning score.

Sylvester ripped off a 36-yard run on the first play of the possession, and Ukpai completed 4 of 6 passes on the drive, all for first downs. That included a key 8-yard pass to Patrick Davis on 4th-and-3 from the Spartan 33 to keep the drive alive.

The Spartans moved the ball 60 yards in 14 plays on their final drive.

But with all his receivers covered, NSU quarterback Chris Walley was stopped after a 2-yard scramble on 4th-and-6, wrapping up the win for the Rattlers.

The Spartans outgained FAMU 346-307, but couldn’t find the end zone on offense. Walley completed 11 of 16 passes for 140 yards and ran for a season-high 62 on 11 carries. DeAngelo Branche led NSU with 89 yards on 26 carries, and in the process became just the second player in NSU history to top the 3,000-yard mark for his career. He now has 3,047 career yards.

Sophomore receiver Reggie Garrett, making his first career start, had a game-high four receptions for 65 yards.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 8 • Oct. 30, 2010 • Washington, D.C. • Greene Stadium

NSU 10 Howard 9 The Norfolk State football team survived a late scare and got back into the win column with a 10-9 victory over Howard in the Bison’s homecoming.

The win broke the Spartans’ four-game losing streak and improved their record to 3-5 overall, 2-4 in the MEAC. Howard fell to 1-7, 0-5.

The NSU defense held the Bison offense in check all day, limiting Howard to 78 total yards of offense, a season low for an NSU opponent.

It almost went for naught, though, had it not been for a lucky break with less than four minutes remaining in the game.

With NSU leading 10-7 and trying to run out the clock with 5:15 to go in the fourth quarter, running back DeAngelo Branche was stuffed on three straight plays that moved NSU back from its 21 to the 10-yard line. Howard came right up the middle on the ensuing punt, as DeAngelo Moody blocked the attempt by Troy Muenzer. Unfortunately for the Bison, the ball rolled out of the end zone for a safety, keeping NSU ahead 10-9.

The Bison received the free kick and began their next drive at their own 45. But NSU held Howard without a first down, with linebacker Terrence Pugh stuffing quarterback Terry Bradden for a 2-yard loss on 4th-and-11. The Spartans ran out the clock, securing the win.

Howard took a 7-0 lead at 10:38 of the second quarter on Brandon Drayton’s 1-yard TD run on 4th-and-goal. The score was set up by Lanny Kelly’s interception of Chris Walley, which Kelly returned to the NSU 20.

The Spartans tied the game at 7-all after DeAngelo Branche, in the Wildcat formation, faked a handoff to Donovan Cotton and bolted up the middle for an 18-yard score with 4:35 remaining in the half.

The Spartans held Howard to just 33 yards of total offense on 29 first-half plays.

Dwight Fluker-Berry got NSU into Bison territory with a 44-yard punt return down to the Howard 31 with a little under three minutes remaining in the third quarter. Five plays later, NSU took a 10-7 lead with 22 seconds left on a 31-yard Ryan Estep field goal.

Casey Council returned the ensuing kickoff to the Spartan 47 to give Howard life. But on 2nd-and-11, Howard fumbled a handoff exchange, and NSU lineman Marcus Dodson recovered at the NSU 49.

NSU took the ball downfield, and on 3rd-and-9 from the Howard 10, Walley was stopped just short of the first-down marker at the 2-yard line.

Electing to go for it to force a two-possession game, the Spartans were again stopped as Branche was unable to convert on 4th-and-1.

Nose tackle Josh Turner led the defense with a season-high 10 tackles, two for a loss, and one sack. Pugh and Onyemechi Anyaugo (Sterling, Va.) also registered sacks. They helped limit the Bison’ option running attack to 44 yards on 40 carries.

Branche had 23 carries for 77 yards and one TD for the Spartans.

Sophomore receiver Reggie Garrett had a career game for a second straight week, grabbing seven passes for 87 yards.

NSU 37 Morgan State 25 Anthony tAylor

Chris Walley passed for season highs of 305 yards and four touchdowns and set a single-game school record for completion percentage in the process, helping the Spartans win their second straight game and fourth in a row over Morgan State.

NSU improved to 4-5 overall, 3-4 in the MEAC on the year. The Bears dropped to 4-5, 3-3.

Walley completed 20 of 22 passes, a 90.9 percent completion rate.

That snapped the single-game NSU record of 85.7 percent set last year by Dennis Brown against Hampton. Walley completed passes to a season-high nine different receivers, and four different Spartans caught touchdown passes.

Both teams moved the ball at will early, but the teams traded field goals as MSU’s Kemar Scarlett hit two in the first quarter and Ryan Estep one as MSU took a 6-3 lead. After Scarlett’s second field goal gave the Bears the lead, Walley capped a 10-play, 74-yard drive with a 10-yard TD pass to sophomore Reggie Garrett with 4 seconds left in the first quarter.

Garrett’s first career TD reception gave NSU a 10-6 lead.

The Spartans scored the only touchdown of the second quarter when Walley hit Nigel McCowan on a 45-yard TD pass – the first of the senior McCowan’s career – with 3:47 left before the half. Scarlett would add another field goal, his fourth of the half, on the last play of the quarter to bring MSU within 20-12.

Walley, who completed his first 12 passes, stayed hot with a 3-yard TD pass to tight end Sherron Childress to cap NSU’s first possession of the second half. The Bears had the answer, though, when Delonte Williams found Winfred Diggs on a 7-yard scoring strike with 6:25 left in the third quarter to bring MSU within 27-19.

Estep connected from 33 yards out – his career-high third field goal of the game – to stretch NSU’s lead to 30-19 midway through the fourth quarter, but the Bears closed the gap to 30-25 on a 1-yard TD run by Jephte Cherenfant with 5:13 left in the game.

On the ensuing possession, the Spartans were faced with a 3rdand-8 from their own 36. But Walley hit Donovan Cotton in the flat, and Cotton zig-zagged through the MSU defense for a 64-yard touchdown play. The play – the Spartans’ longest from scrimmage this season – put the game out of reach for the Bears.

NSU totaled 453 yards of offense, their second-highest tally of the season and most since gaining 505 on Virginia State on Sept. 18. NSU did not punt in the game, scoring on seven of its nine possessions and turning the ball over twice en route to their fourth consecutive win over MSU. Victor Hairston caught seven passes for a career-high 92 yards, while Cotton had three receptions for 89 yards. Garrett had three receptions for 44 yards.

DeAngelo Branche led NSU’s ground game with 23 carries for 109 yards. It was his fourth 100-yard game of the season.

For Morgan State, David Brown had 16 carries for 128 yards. Diggs caught eight passes for 103 yards.

Defensively, linebacker Corwin Hammond had a career-high 13 tackles for the Spartans. Onyemechi Anyaugo had eight tackles and two pass breakups.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 10 • Nov. 13, 2010 • Norfolk, Va. • Dick Price Stadium

NSU 31 Delaware State 21 Norfolk State senior running back DeAngelo Branche made his final home game in a Spartan uniform a memorable one, running for a careerhigh 212 yards and three touchdowns to lead NSU to its third straight win, 31-21, over Delaware State.

The win improves NSU to 5-5 overall, 4-4 in the MEAC and gives the Spartans their first-ever two-game win streak over DSU. The Hornets fall to 2-8, 1-6.

Branche – who surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the season in the second half – scored on runs of 11 and 15 yards in the first half to help stake NSU to a 21-7 halftime lead. His 40-yard scoring run – the longest TD jaunt of his career – put the game out of reach late in the fourth quarter.

Branche’s 11-yard run finished off a six-play, 35-yard scoring drive which was set up by a 24-yard punt return by another senior, Jeremy Wicker. Branche’s 15-yard TD run early in the second quarter finished off a 13-play, 87-yard drive. Branche ran for 48 yards on that possession on five carries.

The Hornets cut the lead in half with 7:50 left in the second quarter as Anthony Glaud hit Justin Wilson for a 25-yard touchdown pass, culminating a 10-play, 68-yard drive.

But NSU stretched its lead back to two scores at 21-7 when Chris Walley found Wicker on a 4-yard TD pass with 25 seconds left before the half. It was Wicker’s first TD since his freshman year of 2007.

Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Ryan Estep kicked a key 22-yard field goal with 4:54 remaining in the game to push the Spartans’ lead to 24-7.

DSU answered quickly, though, as Glaud marched his team 51 yards in five plays. He capped the drive with a 3-yard TD pass to Charednick Williams with 3:00 left in the game.

But Branche put the game out of the Hornets’ grasp when he took a 3rd-and-9 snap in Wildcat formation and dashed 40 yards untouched down the right sideline for his 10th score of the season, making it 31-14.

Glaud capped the scoring by finding Wilson on a 16-yard TD pass with 37 seconds left.

NSU ran the ball for a season-high 310 yards on 59 carries. NSU gained 459 total yards, its second straight game over the 450-yard mark.

Besides Branche, key contributions were made by a number of NSU’s 19 seniors. Donovan Cotton rushed for a season-high 72 yards on 13 carries. Jamie Short intercepted his first pass of the season to thwart one fourth-quarter drive in Spartan territory.

Ray Jennings matched his career high with seven tackles, tying for team-high honors on the day. Two of Jennings’ tackles went for loss, including one sack. Sherron Childress had a season-high three receptions, though sophomore Reggie Garrett led with a game-high eight catches.

2010 GAME RECAPS Game 11 • Nov. 20, 2010 • Savannah, Ga. • Memorial Stadium

NSU 42 Savannah State 6 Needing a career game to become Norfolk State’s all-time leading rusher, DeAngelo Branche delivered the game of his life. The senior running back broke LaRue Harrington’s career rushing record by logging a career-high 41 carries for a personal-best 233 yards and scoring three touchdowns to lead the Spartans (6-5) to their fourth straight win, 42-6 over Savannah State in the season finale for both teams.

Branche ends his career with 3,678 yards after running for 1,330 this year, the second-most in a season in school history behind Angelo Todd’s 1,467-yard year in 1998.

Branche came in needing 215 yards to surpass all-time leading rusher LaRue Harrington’s 3,659 yards. Branche appeared in good shape to reach the record, needing only 28 yards entering the final quarter. But he was almost a victim of his own team’s high-powered offense, which gained a season-high 579 yards of total offense. Chris Walley threw a screen pass to Reggie Garrett, who broke a tackle and streaked up the sideline for a 76-yard touchdown pass to put NSU ahead 42-3 with 9:32 left. It was the longest play of the year for the Spartans.

After a 35-yard Derek Williams field goal brought SSU within 42-6, the Spartans got the ball back and Branche gained nine yards on four carries, but was stopped just shy of a first down on a 4th-and-1 at the Spartans’ 36 with 5:05 left. He was nine yards short of the record.

SSU got the ball back and used up much of the clock, attempting to run the game out. But NSU linebacker Trent Porter stuffed Antonio Proctor for a loss of three yards on 4th-and-1 from the NSU 17 with 2:36 left, turning the ball back over to NSU and giving Branche one more shot.

Branche burst around left end for a seven-yard gain on first down, then got the record in typical Branche fashion. He took the handoff from Walley and pushed forward behind the left side of his line for a four-yard gain and a first down. He went on to carry three more times for 16 yards, running out the clock.

Branche ran 18 times for 100 yards and two scores in the first half.

He scored on a 1-yard run to cap the Spartans’ first drive of the game.

NSU cashed in on its second possession as well, as Walley hit Garrett for a 4-yard TD pass and a 14-0 NSU lead with 6:39 left in the first quarter.

Branche’s 4-yard TD run with 3:41 left in first half was the only scoring of the second quarter, and sent NSU into the half leading 21-0.

Branche’s 34-yard TD run – his second-longest of the season – capped NSU’s first drive of the second half, extending the lead to 28-0.

With Branche taking a well-deserved rest, Takeem Hedgeman plunged into the end zone on a 4-yard run to finish a seven-play, 55-yard drive on the second play of the fourth quarter.

Garrett had a career-high 173 yards receiving – NSU’s first receiver to surpass 100 yards in a game this season – and tied his career best with eight catches.

Branche wasn’t the only Spartan to set a record Saturday. Walley completed 19 of 23 passes for 270 yards Saturday and finished the season with a 61.4 percent completion percentage. That broke the previous record held by Aaron Sparrow, who completed 58.2 percent in 1995.

The win gives the Spartans their first back-to-back winning seasons in the Division I era. It also gives the NSU senior class 26 wins in the last four years, making them the winningest class since 1985 (25).

MEAC HISTORY The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) begins its 42nd year of intercollegiate competition heading into the 2011-12 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of 13 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University.

The MEAC sponsors 15 Division I (FCS) sports with automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason competition in baseball, bowling, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, softball and volleyball.

MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field and several have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The MEAC awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations.

HISTORY

In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. From these discussions, they formed a steering and planning committee to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions and construct a workshop to outline proposals.

After selecting a proposal and adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Their major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards with a sound philosophy of cocurricular activities. The conference agreed to seek Division I status for its sports.

The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971.

In 1978, the MEAC reached a milestone when it selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996. In July 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named commissioner and has served in the position for nine years.

The conference’s first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution.

The MEAC expanded again in the 1990s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded once again in 2007, adding Winston-Salem State University. Following the 2009-10 academic/athletic season, however, Winston-Salem State withdrew from the conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010, the MEAC made its most recent expansion with the admittance of North Carolina Central and Savannah State University.

On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified as a Division I conference by the NCAA. Prior to that year, the conference operated as a Division II conference. The month after it achieved Division I status, the MEAC received an automatic qualification to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. Currently, the conference has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s basketball (since 1982), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men’s and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994).

The MEAC initiated cross country in 1980, and North Carolina A&T earned the inaugural men’s crown. The first women’s cross country championship took place a year later, with Howard winning the first of its seven titles. Indoor Track and Field was also added in 1981, with South Carolina State capturing the men’s title and Howard winning the women’s crown.

Tennis and golf returned as MEAC-governed sports in 1981 after a five-year hiatus.

South Carolina State won all seven of the conference’s golf championships from 19721983 before the sport was discontinued after the 1983 championship.

Baseball, which began in 1972, was discontinued following the 1977 season. It was brought back as a MEAC-governed sport along with women’s volleyball in 1983. Women’s softball became a MEAC-sanctioned sport in 1992.

Bowling was officially sanctioned as a MEAC sport in 1999. The MEAC was the first conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 1996-97 school year.

SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS

The MEAC has enjoyed tremendous athletic success over the years. In 2008, Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) defeated Arkansas State 4-2 to win the NCAA Women’s Bowling National Championship, a first for the conference and institution. The Lady Hawks repeated the feat in 2011 to win the team’s second NCAA title. During the same season, UMES won the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championships (ITC), becoming the first team to win two national championships during the same season.

In men’s basketball, UMES became the first historically black college/university (HBCU) to participate in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) in 1974. The Hawks defeated Manhattan, 84-81, in the first round before falling to Jacksonville by two points in the second round. Before the Jacksonville loss, UMES had the best record in the nation at 27-1. That same

year, Morgan State won the NCAA College Division II National Championship and junior center Marvin “The Human Eraser” Webster was named the Division II Player of the Year. The 1981 tournament champion Howard Bison became the first MEAC team to play in the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship.

Coppin State and Hampton made history in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament with first-round victories. The No. 15 seeded Coppin State Eagles defeated No. 2 South Carolina in 1997, and No. 15 seeded Hampton defeated No. 2 Iowa State in 2001. ESPN Sports Center ranked both victories ranked among the Top 10 greatest tournament upsets of all time In women’s basketball, South Carolina State won the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division II National Championship in 1979. In 1982, Howard became the first MEAC women’s team to participate in the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship. SCSU earned the conference’s bid in 1983 and became the first MEAC team, men or women, to win an opening-round game in the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament.

In 2010, The North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies defeated Wake Forest and Charlotte before falling to Miami in the third round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT).

North Carolina A&T became the first MEAC team and historically black college/university to win two consecutive basketball games in a national postseason tournament.

The No. 13 Hampton Lady Pirates faced No. 4 Kentucky in the 2011 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. The 13th seed was the highest seed earned by a MEAC women’s basketball program since the inception of the 64-team bracket in 1994.

In football, the MEAC was instrumental in constructing the Freedom Bowl All-Star Classic, the Heritage Bowl and the Gold Bowl. Prior to Division I competition, the MEAC competed in the Gold Bowl, held in Richmond, Va., which matched the MEAC champion against the champion of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). South Carolina State represented the MEAC in 1976 and 1979, winning both outings over Winston-Salem State and Norfolk State respectively. In addition to the 1976 and 1979 crowns, South Carolina State won MEAC football titles in 1974-78, 1980-83, 1994, 2004, 2008 and 2009. The Bulldogs were also named co-champions along with Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M in 2010.

On the track, Hampton’s Francena McCorory set an American record in the 400m dash with a time of 50.54 and defended her national indoor title at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships. McCorory, a two-time All-American and three-time MEAC indoor champion in the 400m dash, became the first back-to-back NCAA indoor 400m champion since Suziann Reid of Texas (1998 and 1999). McCorory was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I National Athlete of the Year for the 2010 Indoor Track and Field season.

In outdoor track and field, North Carolina Central won the first three MEAC titles. The quartet of Melvin Bassett, Robert Ouko, Julius Sang and Larry Black set the world record in the sprint medley relay with a time of 38.19 in the 1972 Olympics. MEAC women began outdoor track and field conference competition in 1980. In 1982, South Carolina State won the AIAW Division II Outdoor Track and Field National Championship.

The MEAC has showcased more than 27 athletes in the Olympics. Among them, 11 have earned medals during the Summer Games.

In 2003, Florida A&M became the first MEAC school to win a volleyball match in the NCAA Championship, with a first-round win over Winthrop. In 2004, the Lady Rattlers became the first historically black college/university to rank in the Top 25 of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) national poll.

South Carolina State’s women’s tennis team earned the conference’s first Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) ranking in a 2005 poll, reaching No. 72.

In softball, Bethune-Cookman earned the conference’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Softball Championship in 2005. The Lady Wildcats defeated Florida, Central Florida and South Florida in the Florida Regional to become the first MEAC school to win an NCAA Division I Softball Regional. Bethune-Cookman ended the 2005 season with the conference’s first-ever rankings in the final softball polls, reaching No. 18 in the NFCA/USA Today Coaches poll and No. 23 in the USA Softball/ESPN.com Poll.

Florida A&M was the first MEAC baseball team to advance to NCAA postseason play in 1994. The Rattlers took on Southeastern Louisiana in a best of three play-in series, falling after two games, 11-10 and 8-7. During the 2002 campaign, Bethune-Cookman advanced to the Gainesville Regional and became the first MEAC team to win in the NCAA Tournament with a 7-4 victory over Florida International.
