2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

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 more than 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 ever in MEAC football history.

Another major challenge upon Miller’s appointment as Director of Athletics was that he inherited a deficit exceeding $1.1 million. With his knowledge of financial planning and strong administrative skills, the deficit was eliminated in FY10 and the

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

department ended the year with a positive fund balance of over $1.2 million.

The NSU athletics department has also made a number of major facilities improvements. 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 state-of-the-art track surface was completed in the summer of 2010.

The crown jewel of the facility upgrades made in Miller’s first seven years as athletics director is the purchase of two new Daktronics LED video display boards at William “Dick” Price Stadium. The project is scheduled for completion during the summer of 2012.

Another highlight of his tenure as athletics director includes NSU capturing the last eight Talmadge Layman Hill awards, given annually to the top men’s sports program in the conference. NSU has received a total of $185,000 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 also presided over one of the more historic years in NSU lore in 2011-12. An NSU-record six Spartan teams won MEAC titles, which included the first-ever championships for the football, men’s basketball and women’s bowling teams during their Division I tenure. The men’s basketball team made its mark in NCAA Tournament history by scoring an upset of No. 2 seed Missouri in the second round of the NCAA West Region in March of 2012.

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 also inducted into the Hampton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. He was also chosen to serve in March 2011 on the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame Committee and is also a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Court. In October 2012, Miller will be inducted into the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller, a native of Danville, Va., is a current member and past 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 Seven-Year Highlights (2005-Present) The Norfolk State University intercollegiate athletics program has experienced unprecedented success at the NCAA Division I level during the past seven years (2005-12). 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 and will continue to lead the Spartan athletic program for at least the next five years. 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 student-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. Head coaches have been hired in every sport since Miller took over, with great success across the board.

Pete Adrian has orchestrated the steady progress of the football team, which culminated in the program’s first-ever MEAC title and NCAA Division I playoff appearance in 2011. Men’s basketball coach Anthony Evans kept the banner year for NSU rolling after leading the Spartans to the MEAC championship in 2012 and perhaps the most defining moment in the history of NSU athletics: an upset of No. 2 seed and nationally-ranked No. 3 Missouri in the NCAA tournament second round.

Kenneth Giles’ cross country and track teams have dominated the MEAC, amassing 20 conference titles since 2005, while Wilhelmenia Harrison led NSU to its first-ever bowling championship in 2012.

Claudell Clark, meanwhile, helped guide the baseball team to a runner-up finish at the MEAC Championships in 2008 and 2011. Brandon Duvall was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010 after guiding the volleyball team to its best overall and MEAC record in Division I. Heidi Cavallo led the Spartan softball team to just its second winning conference season during the MEAC era in 2012.

THE YEAR OF THE SPARTAN NSU Athletics Director Marty L. Miller proclaimed that the 2011-12 school year would be “The Year of the Spartan” even before it began. His words proved to be prophetic as Spartan athletic teams brought home six (6) Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference titles – the biggest yearly haul in school history.

The NSU men’s cross country and track and field programs captured a yearly sweep of the MEAC titles in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field for the fourth consecutive year. But that is nothing new – led by head coach Kenneth Giles, the Spartan men’s cross country and track programs have secured 25 MEAC championships in the last 13 years.

Meanwhile, the Spartan football team surprised the so-called experts by winning its first-ever MEAC title and reaching the Division I FCS playoffs for the first time. Coach Pete Adrian’s team finished 9-2 and reached as high as No. 19 in the national FCS rankings, the highest in the history of the program.

But the NSU men’s basketball team was the squad that left an indelible mark not only in school record books, but in NCAA lore. Coach Anthony Evans’ Spartans won their first-ever MEAC title in early March. One week later, NSU pulled one of the biggest stunners in modern day NCAA Tournament history by becoming just the fifth No. 15 seed to ever defeat a No. 2 seed, shocking Missouri 86-84 in a West Region second-round game. The Spartans finished the year with a school Division I-era record 26 victories.

Just two days after the Missouri upset, NSU secured yet another MEAC title as Wilhelmenia Harrison’s women’s bowling team also captured its firstever crown.

Spartan athletes and coaches also had a banner year individually: • Seven athletes earned All-America honors • Three athletes won MEAC Player of the Year awards • Four athletes won MVP accolades at their respective MEAC championship events • Two coaches (Wilhelmenia Harrison, Pete Adrian) were named MEAC Coach of the Year • Three coaches (Harrison, Kenneth Giles, Anthony Evans) were named Most Outstanding Coach at their respective MEAC championship events • And two coaches (Adrian, Evans) earned national Coach of the Year honors by at least one organization Indeed, 2011-12 was definitely a year to “Behold!”

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

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

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

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 Layman Hill Award – presented annually to the member whose men’s teams compile the most points based on team finishes in conference competition. The Spartans have won the Talmadge Layman Hill Award each year from 2005-12. In all, NSU has won men’s conference titles in basketball, cross country, football, and indoor and outdoor track. The NSU women have won MEAC championships in cross country, indoor and outdoor track, basketball and bowling during their tenure in the conference.

Why Support Norfolk State University Athletics?

• NSU competes at the nation’s highest level of intercollegiate athletics – National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I – and is a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).

• The need to increase funding for scholarships for deserving studentathletes motivated by achievement both in athletics and academics.

• Improvements and maintenance of equipment and facilities enable NSU student-athletes to perform at their full potential.

• A competitive athletics program contributes to the enjoyment of the collegiate experience.

HEAD COACH PETE ADRIAN dition, the Norfolk Sports Club named him its Tom Fergusson Award winner as the Metropolitan Person of the Year in Sports.

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 seven seasons at the helm of the program, Adrian’s words have proved to be prophetic.

Adrian guided the Spartans to the first MEAC football title and Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth in school history in 2011.

NSU finished with a 9-3 overall record and posted a 7-1 conference mark, both of which stand as the best in the school’s Division I history. The nine wins were the second-most in school history, following the 1984 team that finished 10-2 and won the last of the school’s four titles in the Division II CIAA. NSU finished the season ranked 18th in the FCS Coaches Poll and 19th in The Sports Network/Fathead. com FCS Poll, the highest rankings the Spartans have garnered in those respective polls. Adrian was tabbed MEAC Coach of the Year by his peers, the Washington, D.C. Pigskin Club’s MEAC Coach of the Year, and was named national FCS Coach of the Year by the College Sporting News. In ad-

The 2011 season capped a remarkable transformation for the Spartans.

After NSU won a total of two games in the two seasons prior to Adrian’s arrival (2003 and 2004), 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. A 6-5 campaign in 2010 clinched the school’s first-ever backto-back winning seasons in the school’s Division I era. The streak now stands at three straight winning campaigns following 2011.

Quarterback Chris Walley was named MEAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year and tackle Blake Matthews was voted MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year, the first time in program history that an NSU player has won either award.

Matthews and kicker Ryan Estep both earned multiple FCS All-America honors and were two of a school-record

Adrian’s players also reaped the rewards of the team’s stellar 2011 season. A school record-tying 10 Spartans earned All-MEAC honors.

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

HEAD COACH PETE ADRIAN four players who were selected as black college All-Americans.

The Spartans have also been successful off the field under Adrian. NSU has ranked first in the MEAC each of the last three years in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate reports, which measure student-athlete graduation rates and retention. The Spartans’ multi-year APR average has also been the highest for any Division I historically black college or university in the last two NCAA reports that have been released.

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.

Also in 2007, the Spartans earned the school’s first-ever Division I FCS

national ranking, reaching as high as No. 23. Additionally, NSU 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.

Ten Spartans were named to the All-MEAC football team in 2007, matching the 2011 team for the most all-conference honors in the program’s Division I era. Included among them was defensive back Terrell Whitehead, who became NSU’s first-ever three-time Division I FCS All-American 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.

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

A balanced offense and an attacking style of defense have been hallmarks of Adrian’s teams at NSU. The Spartan

defense has ranked in the top 20 nationally in total defense four of the last five seasons, including three straight top-10 marks. The 2011 unit led the MEAC and finished second in the FCS after allowing just 275.8 yards per game. That came on the heels of backto-back seasons where the Spartans were sixth nationally in the same category. NSU also finished fourth in the nation in scoring defense (17.1 points per game allowed) in 2011.

Adrian has also developed a reputation for being a good recruiter. In his first seven full recruiting seasons at the helm of the program, Adrian signed 16 players from the Southeastern Virginia area who were named to The Virginian-Pilot’s All-Tidewater team.

Adrian came to NSU after serving as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for seven seasons at one of the Spartans’ MEAC rivals, BethuneCookman in Daytona Beach, Fla. continued on page 20

19

HEAD COACH PETE ADRIAN continued from page 19 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) and ranked 14th in FCS in passing efficiency defense.

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

20

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) both signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Carey earned the starting free safety job early in the 2010 season and started the team’s final 10 games before playing with the Detroit Lions in 2011. Whitehead, meanwhile, was one of five 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), cornerback Dante Barnes (free agent, Washington Redskins) and quarterback Dennis Brown (Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders). In all, six Spartans have signed NFL contracts in the last five years (Carey, Whitehead, Bell, Barnes, Ford and quarterback Casey Hansen).

Adrian has 43 years of coaching experience, 38 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 adult sons, Rocco and Zach, and one granddaughter, Riley Elizabeth.

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

COACHING STAFF

Rod Holder Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line Coach Rod Holder, who has been a part of three national championship teams as either a player or coach, is in his eighth season as assistant head coach at Norfolk State University. He coaches the offensive line.

Holder’s no-nonsense style has transformed the NSU offensive line into one of the more productive, well-balanced units in the MEAC. Never was that more apparent than during the Spartans’ 2011 MEAC championship season. Despite breaking in four new starters and switching to a no-huddle spread offense, the offensive line was a key to the team’s success. The Spartans finished first in the MEAC in passing offense (236.6 ypg), second in total offense (393.8 ypg) and fewest sacks allowed (15), and fourth in rushing (157.2 ypg).

Tackles Blake Matthews and Kendall Noble were both first-team All-MEAC selections following the 2011 campaign, giving Holder’s pupils a total of 10 All-MEAC awards in his seven years at NSU. Matthews earned NSU’s first-ever MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year award and was also a second-team FCS All-America selection.

In 2010, 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 in a row, as 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 become NSU’s all-time leading rusher. Branche ran for a MEAC-leading 1,330 yards in 2010, the second-most for a single season in school history. As a team, the Spartans averaged 174.6 rushing yards per game, third-most 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 his 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.

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 second-fewest 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 the University of Miami 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 championships 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 199297. 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.

COACHING STAFF

Mark DeBastiani Defensive Coordinator/Outside Linebackers Coach Mark DeBastiani is in his eighth season as the defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach for Norfolk State University.

In the last seven 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. The Spartan defense has ranked in the top 10 nationally in total defense for three straight years, culminating in the No. 2 ranking among all FCS teams during the team’s MEAC championship run in 2011.

Last year’s defense allowed just 275.8 yards per game and yielded a MEAC-low 17.1 points per game, good for fourth-best in the country. Eight of NSU’s 12 opponents scored 14 points or less and four were held to single-digit tallies. The Spartans also tallied a MEAC-high 36 sacks in 2011, ninth-most in the nation and the most by an NSU defense under the current staff.

Twenty-two of those sacks came from NSU’s outside linebackers.

The dominant 2011 season continued a recent trend of stingy defenses for NSU, which ranked sixth in the nation in total defense in both 2009 and 2010. The 2010 unit yielded just 284.1 yards per game, while the 2009 team allowed only 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.

In 2008, the Spartans finished eighth in the nation in turnover margin (+14), and sixth in turnovers forced (34).

22

DeBastiani has won a conference championship at each of his 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 and his wife Christine have two children, Benjamin and Maria. The family resides in Chesapeake.

Deslauriers tallied over 1,200 receiving yards that season and was a first-round pick of the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League Draft.

Feggins also had a successful stint as receivers coach at Northwestern from 1999-2004. He helped the Wildcats capture a share of the 2000 Big Ten title and a berth in the Alamo Bowl. He tutored three All-Big Ten picks at Northwestern, including Kunle Patrick, who tied the NCAA record of 47 straight games with a reception. Another of Feggins’ all-conference players at Northwestern, Sam Simmons, was a fifthround draft choice of the Miami Dolphins in 2002.

Prior to his tenure at Northwestern, Feggins spent two seasons as a receivers coach at Miami of Ohio. While with the Redhawks, Feggins coached Trevor Gaylor, who went on to become a third-round draft choice of the San Diego Chargers in the 2000 NFL Draft.

Feggins got his coaching start as defensive backs and kick returners coach at Wingate University in N.C. from 199596. While at Wingate, Feggins mentored Dorian Lake, who became the school’s first-ever All-American on defense.

A 1987 graduate of the University of North Carolina, Feggins was a four-year letterwinner for the Tar Heels. A cornerback and strong safety, Feggins totaled 169 tackles during his career. As a sophomore, he ranked sixth on the team with 83 tackles. During Feggins’ junior year, the Tar Heels posted a 7-4-1 record and played in the Aloha Bowl. He earned his bachelor’s degree in education.

Feggins played briefly in the NFL with the New England Patriots and New York Giants. He also spent two seasons with the London Monarchs of the now-defunct World League of American Football.

Feggins and his wife, Renee, have two sons – Kevin (19), a Norfolk State student, and Jensen (15). The family resides in Fort Thomas, Ky.

Marco Butler Defensive Backs Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Marco Butler is in his eighth year on the Norfolk State coaching staff. He tutors the defensive backs and also serves as the special teams coordinator.

After showing steady improvement under Butler during 2005 and 2006, the Spartans have ranked in the top 20 nationally in passing defense each of the last five seasons. Despite breaking in two new starters at cornerback in 2011, NSU still ranked 18th in the FCS in pass defense (177.5 ypg allowed) during its MEAC title season. Senior free safety DeVonte Reynolds earned second-team All-MEAC honors, marking the fifth straight season that one of Butler’s protégés was selected to the all-con-

ference team.

In 2010, with two new starters at the safety positions, 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.

Barnes became the third of Butler’s former defensive backs to sign with an NFL team. The others were Terrell Whitehead, who signed with Jacksonville as a free agent in 2010, and Don Carey, who was Cleveland’s sixth-round draft choice in 2009. 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 (141.1 ypg). Whitehead and Carey were both All-MEAC selections in 2007 and 2008. They led a secondary which ranked fifth nationally in 2007 in pass defense (147.8 ypg) and 15th in 2008 (160.3 ypg).

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. Butler was also one of 60 applicants nationwide selected to attend 2011 NCAA-NFL Football Coaching Academy in Orlando, Fla. Butler is a native of Ware Shoals, S.C. He and his wife, LaShauna, have one daughter, Eva Marissa, and a son, Marco Deuce.

Spartan nose tackle Josh Turner was a threetime All-MEAC honoree, earning first-team accolades in 2009 and 2011 and second-team distinction in 2010. Turner was joined on the AllMEAC squad last year by Joey Christine, who was a second-team pick. Those two formed the heart of a unit which overcame injuries and attrition to form what was arguably the conference’s top defensive front in 2011.

Thurston has also been instrumental in recruiting the talent-rich area of Miami, Fla., for the Spartans.

Thurston was a three-year letterwinner at West Virginia University from 1997-99. He played rush linebacker and started his first two years for the Mountaineers. He earned his liberal arts degree in 2003.

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 2012, Daktronics, Inc., installed two new state-of-the-art LED video display boards, one on each end of the stadium. They measure 12 feet 6 inches by 31 feet on the west end, 17 feet by 47 feet on the east end, and are capable of showing large images, video, instant replays as well as graphics, animation, up-to-theminute statistics and sponsor advertisements.

The track at Dick Price Stadium was renovated to include a new world-class 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 has ranked in the top 20 in FCS attendance six times all-together, including 16th in 2011, 20th 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.

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2012 SEASON OUTLOOK After years of climbing the proverbial MEAC mountain, the Spartan football team reached the apex in 2011. NSU won its first-ever MEAC title and advanced to the Division I FCS playoffs for the first time in program history. Head coach Pete Adrian knows that makes his squad a marked bunch heading into 2012. But with 13 starters and several key reserves back from last year’s title team, Adrian feels he has assembled another strong outfit.

OFFENSE The Spartans return starters at nine of 11 positions from an offense that ranked second in the conference in total yardage in 2011 (393.8 yards per game). NSU must replace MEAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year Chris Walley at quarterback and All-MEAC left tackle Kendall Noble, but experience abounds at the other positions.

QUARTERBACK Walley had one of the finer seasons for a quarterback in NSU history in 2011. The All-MEAC first team signal-caller passed for 2,672 yards and 19 touchdowns last year while completing a school-record 68.7 percent of his passes. Nico Flores, a redshirt junior, will get first crack at replacing Walley under center. Flores played in 10 games last season, accounting for 330 yards of total offense and two rushing touchdowns. Flores served as NSU’s “wildcat” quarterback more often than not, but did show a strong arm, passing for 156 yards on nine completions.

Flores will enter preseason camp as the starter, but will be pushed by junior college transfers Jake Basmagian and Dylan Shaddix, first-year sophomore Pierre Narcisse and freshman Zach Deutel. Basmagian possesses a strong arm. He is transferring from Pierce College (Calif.), where he started as a true freshman. Shaddix split time at quarterback last season at Georgia Military College, but is also athletic with a strong arm.

Morgan State. Both runners know how to make the first defender miss.

Fellow senior Markeith Brisco has played in 30 games and logged 50 carries in his career. He gives the Spartans another option at running back, with more size.

The Spartans could also turn to a pair of freshmen if they need a spark in the running game. Redshirt freshman Brendon Riddick changed positions from quarterback to running back in the offseason. He ran for more than 1,000 yards as a high school senior while playing quarterback. Also joining the rotation this year is freshman Aaron Daniels, a St. Louis prep star who spent last year at the Naval Academy prep school. Both Riddick and Daniels are physical runners with good speed.

Adrian said that the Spartans may also utilize a fullback more in offensive coordinator Howard Feggins’ new system. That could mean immediate playing time for true freshman twins Conley and Cameron Smith, who excelled locally at Hickory High School in Chesapeake, Va. WIDE RECEIVER/TIGHT END Eight of the Spartans’ top nine pass-catchers all return, giving NSU what could be the conference’s strongest receiving corps.

The unit is led by All-MEAC first team Xavier Boyce, who caught 68 passes for 750 yards and four touchdowns last year. Boyce and senior Reggie Garrett (28 receptions) give the offense a pair of tall targets in the passing game.

NSU also features plenty of speed at wideout with juniors Derrick Demps (19 catches, 417 yards, 3 TD) and Kelvin Lewis (17-208-1) and sophomore Keith Johnson (13-160-1). All three started at least once last season, and all three scored on a touchdown play of at least 44 yards in length.

Narcisse, the son of former NSU baseball star Ron Narcisse, sat out the 2011 season as a non-qualifier. He was recruited by a number of FBS-level teams coming out of Windsor High School in Connecticut. He also spent a prep year at Milford Academy in New York.

Deutel was a prolific passer at Brooke Point High School in Fredericksburg. An arm injury during his junior season hampered his recruitment, but did not stop him for passing for well over 3,000 yards as a high school senior.

RUNNING BACK NSU’s offensive backfield will feature the two players who started every game at tailback last year in rising seniors Takeem Hedgeman and Randy Maynes. Hedgeman (698 yards, 3 TD) and Maynes (443 yards, 3 TD) combined for over 1,100 yards last season and figure to get the bulk of the carries this season. Hedgman had a pair of 100-yard games early last year, while Maynes came up big later in the season with key touchdown runs against Hampton and

Wide receiver Derrick Demps caught three touchdown passes last year, including a school-record 98-yarder at Old Dominion.

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2012 SEASON OUTLOOK Adrian is also high on his freshman class of wideouts, which includes rangy targets DeAndre Sangster, Isaac White and Damon Dyson, and the speedy Wilonte’ Roscoe, Marcus Finney and Shawn Corbett. Sangster, Roscoe and Corbett redshirted last year.

Also returning is 6-3, 245-pound tight end Joseph Hawkins, who earned All-MEAC second team honors last year after tallying 17 catches for 236 yards and three scores. Coaches want to get Hawkins more involved in the offense this season to take advantage of his size and athletic ability. He will be backed up by redshirt freshmen Tevin White and James Lynch.

OFFENSIVE LINE The Spartans’ cadre of players at the skill positions will run behind an experienced front line. Last year’s MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year, Blake Matthews, will anchor the unit from his right tackle spot. Matthews was a second-team All-American by two media organizations in his first season as a starter. He was also named a 2012 preseason first-team All-American by The Sports Network, NSU’s first in four seasons. NSU does lose Walley’s blind-side protector in All-MEAC performer Kendall Noble, but talented redshirt sophomore Julius Wormley saw game action last year and should be ready to step into a starting role.

Matthews’ fellow senior offensive lineman, Michael Kay, was a steady presence at center last year, starting all 12 games. And like Matthews, junior left guard Cameron Williams also performed well last season in his first year as a starter. Last year’s starting right guard, Nico Washington, moves back to defense for the 2012 season, but senior Theo Duncan saw extensive action behind Washington last year and figures to be the other starter at guard.

Adrian also expects the Spartans to have much more depth behind the starting five linemen, as well. Jairus Spain, who sat out last season, and junior Justin Myler, who moves back over to offense after playing defensive line a year ago, give the Spartans an older presence at tackle behind Wormley and Matthews.

Sophomore E.J. Rogers, who played sparingly a year ago, can fill in at guard, while redshirt freshman center Ramsey Henderson will get a chance to compete for a spot for the first time. Sophomore De’Ante Williams, who like Myler played defense in 2011, will also be in the mix.

Six true freshman offensive linemen also dot the roster, including signees Amardeep Singh, Darcell Whitaker, Daniel Oladimeji and Mike Phillips.

DEFENSE As strong as NSU was offensively last year, defense was the Spartans’ calling card. NSU led the MEAC and ranked in the top five nationally in both total defense (275.8 ypg allowed) and scoring defense (17.1 ppg allowed). Seven starters from that unit

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

George Riddick will assume a full-time starting role on the defensive line this season. departed, but Adrian sees potential in his returners and newcomers on defense.

DEFENSIVE LINE Despite losing All-MEAC linemen Josh Turner and Joey Christine, the Spartans should have plenty of depth along the defensive front. Junior Matt Grant and sophomore George Riddick both started games for NSU last season at the tackle position opposite All-MEAC second-teamer Christine. Grant made 13 tackles, 3.5 for loss, and blocked three field goals despite missing time late in the year due to a knee injury.

Riddick should take over at nose guard this year for Turner, who was a three-time all-conference performer. Riddick played in 10 games and made nine tackles. Coaches feel his quickness and strength will be an asset in the middle of the defense. Riddick will be joined at nose guard by junior Nico Washington, who can also play tackle; sophomore Tre Branch, who missed the 2011 season due to injury; and freshman Michael Witcher. Washington played in 11 games at nose guard in 2010 before switching over to the offensive line last year. Branch missed the 2011 season due to a finger injury.

In addition to Grant, the Spartans also expect to have the services of senior Michigan State transfer Cameron Jude and redshirt senior Steve Bunce at the tackle positions. Jude sat out the season while Bunce missed time due to an illness. First-year sophomore Noel Clarke Jr. and freshman Kevin Williams will also add depth.

LINEBACKER Two members of last season’s star-studded linebacker corps are back for the Spartans in 2012 in the form of senior outside linebackers Jamal Giddens and Terrence Pugh. Giddens led NSU and was third in the MEAC with eight sacks last season despite continued on page 36

35

2012 SEASON OUTLOOK continued from page 35 starting only half of the games. Pugh, meanwhile, was a reliable performer who finished the year with 41 tackles, 10 for loss, and four sacks. Those two will be pushed for time by University of Florida transfer Lynden Trail and freshman Justin Gant.

Both players enrolled at NSU in January, giving them time to learn the defense and participate in spring practice and offseason conditioning.

The Spartans must replace the top two tacklers from last year’s defense, inside linebackers Corwin Hammond and Onyemechi Anyaugo. Hammond led the team with 120 total tackles en route to All-MEAC first team honors. Anyaugo had an all-conference caliber year as well, with 97 tackles, 9.5 for loss. Their backups from 2011, Eric Hitch and Marcell Coke, figure to assume starting roles this season. Hitch is a fifth-year senior who made 21 stops last year, while Coke made 16 tackles as a true freshman. University of Minnesota transfer Brent Singleton and University of Louisville transfer Mike Privott should also be key factors inside.

DEFENSIVE BACK NSU returns plenty of experience at the cornerback positions, led by senior Marcus Cooperwood and junior Marcus Center.

Cooperwood had 36 tackles and two interceptions a year ago, while Center had 30 stops and one pick. Junior Nick Taylor and redshirt sophomore Dionte Sullivan are expected to battle for spots in the two-deep rotation. Taylor played in all 12 games a year ago, mostly in a special teams role. Sullivan appeared in nine games, like Taylor split between backup duty and special teams.

The Spartans did lose both starting safeties from 2011 in AllMEAC second team free safety DeVonte Reynolds (55 tackles, three interceptions) and strong safety Ricardo Volcin (30 tackles, two interceptions). But Adrian likes the athleticism of sophomores Keenan Lambert and Darrin Marrow. Lambert saw the most playing time of the two, starting six times at either strong safety or as the nickel back last season. He had five pass breakups and

36

37 tackles. Marrow had 10 tackles, with his time split between special teams and serving as Reynolds’ backup. Those two will be backed up by UCF transfer Marquee Williams and converted wide receiver Tyrece Shepherd.

SPECIAL TEAMS The Spartans lost their primary kicker and punter from each of the last two seasons. Ryan Estep made a school-record 20 field goals and missed just twice last season en route to All-MEAC first-team honors in 2011. The Spartans are fortunate to have the other member of their two-kicker tandem back this year, however, in senior Everett Goldberg. Goldberg handled kickoffs and long field goals last season. He connected on six field goals, all covering at least 47 yards last season, good enough to earn him preseason All-MEAC first-team honors.

Troy Muenzer capably handled punting duties the last two seasons but has graduated. He averaged 36.8 yards per punt last year. JC transfer Shaddix will get the first crack at replacing Muenzer, in addition to taking reps at quarterback A number of returning Spartans have experience handling either kickoff or punt return chores, including Cooperwood, Lewis and Johnson. Adrian will cement those roles during preseason camp.

SCHEDULE The Spartans once again play six of their 11 games away from home next season. The five-game home slate includes the Labor Day Classic with Virginia State (Sept. 1) and MEAC games with Howard (Sept. 15), Delaware State (Oct. 6), Savannah State (Nov. 3) and Morgan State (Nov. 10).

The Spartans play non-conference road games at Big South power Liberty (Sept. 8) and Division I FBS member Ohio University of the Mid-American Conference (Sept. 22). Road conference games include dates at South Carolina State (Sept. 29), Hampton (Oct. 13), Bethune-Cookman (Oct. 20) and North Carolina A&T (Oct. 27).

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2011 NOTEBOOK NSU NABS FIRST-EVER MEAC TITLE A season-ending 47-14 win over Morgan State gave Norfolk State the outright MEAC title, the first for the program since moving to Division I in 1997. NSU capped the regular season with a 9-2 overall record.

The victory and subsequent playoff appearance marked the first of each for the Spartans since 1984. That year, NSU went 10-2, won the CIAA title with a one-point victory over Winston-Salem State and competed against Towson State in the Division II playoffs.

SPARTANS GARNER HIGHEST NATIONAL RANKING EVER The end-of-season polls came out following the FCS national championship game, and NSU came out with its highest national ranking ever. The Spartans finished 18th in the FCS Coaches Poll and 19th in the TSN/Fathead.com poll.

Prior to 2011, the only other time NSU earned a national ranking in the D-I era occured in 2007, when the Spartans ranked 25th and 23rd in consecutive weeks in the Sports Network FCS poll.

NSU CLEANS HOUSE DURING MEAC AWARD SEASON The Spartans piled up the conference awards, as 10 players earned All-MEAC honors in 2011. That tied the record for the most all-conference players set in 2007.

Leading the way was quarterback Chris Walley, who earned first-team All-MEAC honors and was also named the Co-Offensive Player of the Year. Offensive lineman Blake Matthews earned first-team honors as well and was selected the Offensive Lineman of the Year.

Kicker Ryan Estep, wide receiver Xavier Boyce, offensive lineman Kendall Noble, defensive lineman Josh Turner and linebacker Corwin Hammond joined those two on the All-MEAC first team. NSU had never had seven first-team all-conference players, even dating back to the CIAA days.

Pete Adrian was named the Coach of the Year by his peers. Adrian won the award in 2007 as well.

Tight end Joe Hawkins, defensive lineman Joey Christine and defensive back DeVonte Reynolds all garnered second-team all-conference honors.

NSU NAMED HBCU NATIONAL CHAMPS Three different organziations tabbed NSU the black college national champion in 2011. The American Sports Wire, Boxtorow and Heritage Sports Radio Network (HSRN) all voted NSU atop the Division I HBCU national polls.

NUMEROUS PLAYERS EARN ALL-AMERICA STATUS Several players earned some sort of All-America status in 2011, with Ryan Estep and Blake Matthews leading the way with second-team All-America honors by the Associated Press. It marked the first time the AP honored an NSU player since Terrell Whitehead in 2009 and the 10th and 2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

11th times overall.

Matthews also earned second-team FCS All-America honors by The Sports Network.

Estep, Matthews, Kendall Noble and Corwin Hammond were each named to the Sheridan Broadcast Network Black College All-America Team. Those four along with Xavier Boyce were also named HBCU All-America Team by Boxtorow.

Estep was also named the MEAC Player of the Year by The Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C., and to the FCS AllAmerica second team by College Sports Madness.

ADRIAN CAPTURES MORE HONORS Along with winning the MEAC Coach of the Year Award, head coach Pete Adrian earned a few other awards as well.

College Sporting News named Adrian the FCS Coach of the Year, while the Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C., named him the MEAC Coach of the Year.

The Norfolk Sports Club also honored Adrian with the Tom Fergusson Award, which is handed out annually to the Metropolitan Person of the Year in Sports.

Head coach Pete Adrian (left) and senior kicker Ryan Estep were honored by the Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C. Adrian was named the MEAC Coach of the Year, while Estep was tabbed the MEAC Player of the Year by the organization.

NSU AMONG NATIONAL STATISTICAL LEADERS The Spartans were ranked among the national leaders both as a team and individually, including Ryan Estep, who ranked fifth in field goals per game and 25th in scoring.

Chris Walley stood 15th in passing efficiency and 23rd in total offense.

Other players ranked in the top 25 nationally including Marcus Cooperwood in punt returns (10th) and Xavier Boyce in receptions per game (25th).

As a team, NSU finished second in total defense, allowing just 275.8 yards per game. The Spartans also finished fourth in scoring defense (17.1), ninth in rushing defense (98.3) and sacks (3.0), and 10th in tackles for loss (8.0).

WILLIAM “DICK” PRICE STADIUM

Norfolk State game MVP Chris Walley completed 25 of 29 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and the Spartan defense held Virginia State to 161 yards of offense in a 37-3 NSU win in the Virginia Lottery Labor Day Classic at Dick Price Stadium.

The Spartans (1-0) rolled up 438 yards of offense to cruise to a sixth straight win over the Trojans (0-1).

The NSU offense scored on its first three possessions of the night.

Senior kicker Ryan Estep converted field goals of 39 and 25 yards to cap the first two drives, which lasted 12 and 15 plays, respectively. Junior Markeith Brisco ended the third with a 9-yard run up the middle to give the Spartans a 13-0 lead with 5:48 left before halftime.

NSU was stopped on downs on its next possession, giving the Trojans possession near midfield with 1:16 left in the half. But on the first play of the next drive, Trojan quarterback Jared Battle had his pass intercepted by Spartan senior safety Ricardo Volcin, who raced 46 yards for the score and a 20-0 NSU advantage.

The Trojans needed a big special teams play to get on the board just before the half. After Volcin’s TD, Trojan special teamer Howard Spencer returned the ensuing kickoff 57 yards to the NSU 30-yard line. That set up kicker William Rudd’s 43-yard field goal with 34 seconds remaining in the half.

But the Spartan defense pitched a second-half shutout, and the NSU offense continued to click. Walley engineered an eight-play, 68-yard drive on the first possession of the second half. He finished it off by tossing a 23-yard TD pass between two defenders to senior wideout Victor Hairston.

Estep made his third field goal of the night to finish off a nine-play drive early in the fourth, connecting from 36 yards away. Walley would cap the scoring with his second TD pass of the night, a 6-yard toss to Virginia Tech transfer receiver Xavier Boyce with 5:48 left on the clock.

Walley, who also ran 10 times for 42 yards, accounted for 297 yards of total offense, his third-best output as a Spartan. Takeem Hedgeman had a team-high 65 yards rushing for NSU, which tallied 178 as a unit.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 2 • Sept. 10, 2011 • Milan Puskar Stadium • Morgantown, W.Va.

#19 West Virginia 55 NSU 12 Quarterback Geno Smith passed for 371 yards and four touchdowns, two in a 28-point West Virginia third quarter, as the 19th-ranked Mountaineers rallied from a 12-10 halftime deficit to top a game Norfolk State team, 55-12, before 51,911 at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Playing their fourth-ever game against a Division I FBS team and second against a ranked FBS squad, the Spartans (1-1) led West Virginia (2-0) at the half thanks to four field goals and an inspired defensive effort.

NSU converted its first possession into points as a 56-yard bomb from Nico Flores to Xavier Boyce moved the Spartans deep into WVU territory.

Penalties bogged the drive down, but NSU got on the board thanks to a college-long 50-yard field goal off the foot of junior college transfer Everett Goldberg.

Ryan Estep hit a 39-yard field goal 19 seconds into the second quarter to pad NSU’s cushion to 6-0, culminating a nine-play, 74-yard drive.

WVU then drove 60 yards in 10 plays, with the big play being a 45yard completion from Smith to Tavon Austin down to the NSU 1-yard line.

The Spartan defense, however, kept the Mountaineers out the end zone on six straight plays from the 1 – one being a pass interference penalty that gave WVU a new set of downs. The Mountaineers settled for Tyler Bitancurt’s 17-yard field goal to get them on the board.

WVU would go 81 yards in 11 plays on its next drive, with Smith capped by finding Devon Brown for an 18-yard TD pass. But the Spartans scored on the final two drives of the half, with Estep hitting field goals of 39 and 40 yards to send NSU into the half up 12-10.

NSU outgained the Mountaineers 242-143 in the first half. Takeem Hedgeman ran six times for 46 yards, while quarterbacks Chris Walley and Flores combined to complete 14 of 21 passes for 178 yards in the half.

But the second half would be a different story. WVU scored touchdowns on their first five drives of the second half to take control. Vernard Roberts gave the Mountaineers the lead for good with a 2-yard TD run on the opening drive of the second half, which covered 51 yards in three plays. Tyler Bitancurt’s point after gave WVU a 17-12 lead.

Smith finished off a five-play, 80-yard march with a 3-yard TD pass to Austin on the next drive. Dustin Garrison got in on the action with a 1-yard TD to cap the next possession and give WVU a 31-12 lead.

Smith tossed his third TD of the game, covering 12 yards, to Tyler Urban on the following Mountaineers possession to push the score to 38-12 after three quarters.

Smith capped his day by hitting Ivan McCartney for 39 yards for another WVU score. Backup QB Paul Millard finished the scoring with a 30-yard TD pass to Brad Starks in the fourth quarter.

Smith completed 20 of 34 passes for WVU. Austin had six catches for 82 yards and Brown had four for 109.

Walley finished 16-of-27 for 136 yards for the Spartans. Boyce had eight catches for 100 yards, while Hedgeman had 13 rushes for 62 yards.

WVU outgained the Spartans 533-285.

Corwin Hammond led the NSU defense with nine tackles, half for a loss. Fellow senior linebacker Onyemechi Anyaugo added eight tackles, one behind the line.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 3 • Sept. 17, 2011 • Greene Stadium • Washington, D.C.

NSU 23 Howard 9 Chris Walley completed 17 of 23 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns, and the Norfolk State defense kept Howard out of the end zone for the final 55 minutes of the game as the Spartans downed Howard 23-9 in the MEAC opener for both teams at Greene Stadium.

The Spartans (2-1, 1-0 MEAC) extended their win streak to four over the Bison (1-2, 0-1).

Howard took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in 10 plays.

Freshman quarterback Greg McGhee hit Charles Anderson on a 1-yard TD pass with 10:27 left in the first quarter on a 4th-and-goal play to get Howard on the board first. The conversion missed due to a botched snap.

The Spartans answered right back with a six-play, 62-yard march.

Walley hit Victor Hairston on a 21-yard TD pass with 7:39 remaining in the quarter, and the extra point by Ryan Estep gave NSU a 7-6 lead.

NSU’s next score was set up by another Howard miscue. A high punt snap sailed over Bison punter Bryan Jackson’s head, setting up NSU at the Howard 35. Four plays later, Everett Goldberg drilled a career-long 51yard field goal to give the Spartans a 10-6 edge. It was Goldberg’s second straight week hitting a 50-yard field goal.

That score would hold up going into halftime as the defenses stiffened and offenses struggled to find a rhythm. NSU had a key stop just before halftime when linebacker Onyemechi Anyaugo intercepted a McGhee pass in the Spartan red zone in the final minute of the second quarter.

A personal foul penalty bogged down NSU’s first drive of the second half, and Howard’s DeCarlos Knight blocked a punt off the foot of the Spartans’ Troy Muenzer to give the Bison possession at the NSU 30. But the Spartan defense held and limited Howard to a 32-yard Parker Munoz field goal, cutting NSU’s lead to 10-9.

But the Spartans answered with a 10-play drive, which Estep capped with a 26-yard field goal that made it 13-9. After NSU held Howard threeand-out, the Spartans were on the move again. This time, NSU scored in six plays, with Walley hitting freshman Keith Johnson on a 44-yard touchdown pass to make it 20-9. It was Johnson’s first career collegiate score.

Estep capped the scoring with a 38-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

The NSU defense held Howard to 234 yards of offense, 80 of which came on the first drive of the game and 60 on the final possession which ended on downs. The Spartans gained 387.

Randy Maynes led NSU with 51 yards rushing on seven carries.

Hairston, Xavier Boyce and Reggie Garrett had four catches apiece.

Linebacker Corwin Hammond led the Spartan defense with 11 tackles. He had half a tackle for loss and recovered a fumble. Anyaugo had eight tackles, one for loss, and half a sack. Lineman Joey Christine had five tackles, three for a loss, and forced a fumble.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 4 • Sept. 24, 2011 • Buccaneer Field • Charleston, S.C.

NSU 33 Charleston Southern 3 Chris Walley completed 20 of 23 passes for 285 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and the Spartans outgained host Charleston Southern 519141 en route to a 33-3 non-conference win at Buccaneer Field.

The win helped the Spartans improve to 3-1 overall, their best start since 2007. They did it in dominating fashion, rolling up 519 yards in total offense while their defense allowed 141 in their third straight win over a Big South opponent.

Running back Takeem Hedgeman ran for 105 yards on 15 carries, and receivers Victor Hairston and Xavier Boyce both topped the 100-yard receiving mark and caught a touchdown pass for NSU. The defense got 12 tackles from linebacker Corwin Hammond and four sacks from four different players. Marcus Center accounted for the only turnover of the game with a fourth-quarter interception, the first of his career.

The Spartans jumped on the Buccaneers (0-4) early, outscoring them 17-0 in the first quarter. NSU took the opening kickoff and drove 85 yards in 12 plays, with Walley finding Boyce on a 13-yard TD pass for a 7-0 lead.

After a three-and-out by CSU, the Spartans needed just one play to score their next TD. Walley hit Hairston across the middle. Hairston broke one tackle, made another man miss and sprinted 67 yards for his team-leading third touchdown of the season, giving NSU a 14-0 lead.

Later in the quarter, a career-long 45-yard punt return by Marcus Cooperwood set up the Spartans at the CSU 15. NSU couldn’t find the end zone, but Ryan Estep hit a 23-yard field goal, the first of his three on the afternoon, to give the Spartans a 17-0 edge.

The Buccaneers were able to slow NSU’s offense in the second quarter and play the field-position game with NSU, backing up the Spartans in their own territory on a couple of occasions. On one of those, CSU was able to take over at the NSU 35 after a short punt. Seven plays later, Andy Brown hit a 25-yard field goal to get the Buccaneers on the board.

The second half was all NSU. The Spartans took their opening possession of the third quarter and drove 80 yards in 12 plays. Nico Flores capped the drive with a 1-yard run, his first TD as a Spartan, to extend the advantage to 24-3.

NSU would tack on three more field goals to account for the final margin. Estep connected from 19 and 20 yards out, and Everett Goldberg hit a 47-yarder. The two are now a combined 14-for-14 this year.

CSU was held to 55 yards rushing on 45 carries by NSU’s defense.

Quarterback Malcolm Dixon was limited to 1 net yard on 17 carries, including the four sacks. He was also harassed into 7-of-19 passing for 86 yards.

In addition to Hammond’s 12 tackles, linebacker Onyemechi Anyaugo had nine tackles and a sack. Joey Christine, Hasan Craig, Marcell Coke, Keenan Lambert and Jamal Giddens had five tackles apiece. Christine had two tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble. Matthew Grant and Chad Battles also had one sack each.

Hairston had five catches for a career-high 122 yards for NSU. It was his first career 100-yard game. Boyce had his second 100-yard game of the year, with a personal-best nine catches for a career-best 101 yards.

That topped his previous best of eight receptions for 100 yards at West Virginia.

In addition to Hedgeman’s big day, Flores had a season-high 48 yards rushing on 13 carries as NSU had a season-best 234 yards on the ground.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 5 • Oct. 1, 2011 • Dick Price Stadium • Norfolk, Va.

NSU 17 #22 South Carolina State 14 Norfolk State linebacker Onyemechi Anyaugo returned a secondquarter fumble 84 yards for a touchdown, and the Spartan defense came up with a key goal-line stand late in the fourth quarter to knock off threetime defending MEAC champion and 22nd-ranked South Carolina State in the Fish Bowl Classic.

The win gives the Spartans (4-1, 2-0 MEAC) just their second-ever win over a ranked FCS team in 25 tries, their third win in 17 games against SCSU, and ends the Bulldogs’ 15-game MEAC road winning streak. SCSU (2-3, 2-1) had not lost a road conference game since falling to NSU, 20-13, on Oct. 6, 2007.

The Spartans trailed 7-3 and the Bulldogs appeared ready to add to their lead just before halftime when SCSU’s Courtney Ingram blocked a Troy Muenzer punt, setting the Bulldogs up at NSU’s 11-yard line with 26 seconds left in the second quarter. But on first down, NSU defender Chad Battles hit running back Jalen Simmons in the backfield and forced a fumble, which Anyaugo scooped up and returned 84 yards up the sideline for a 10-7 NSU lead.

The Spartans added to their lead late in the third quarter with a three-play, 62-yard scoring drive. Quarterback Chris Walley capped the drive with 2-yard TD run to make it 17-7 with 1:40 left in the quarter. The big play on the drive was Walley’s 41-yard completion to Xavier Boyce, which included a personal foul on SCSU at the end of Boyce’s run.

SCSU cut the lead to 17-14 on a 3-yard TD run by quarterback Derrick Wiley with 9:40 remaining in the game. The Bulldogs’ defense held on the game’s next possession, forcing an NSU punt. Darius Drummond returned the punt 18 yards to the Spartan 38, and a personal foul on NSU moved the ball to the NSU 23. SCSU picked up two first downs, moving the ball all the way to the NSU 1. But three straight Wiley runs could not find the end zone. On 3rd-and-goal from the 1, he was stopped for a 1-yard loss by Anyaugo and linebacker Terrence Pugh. SCSU settled for a 20-yard Blake Erickson field goal attempt, but he missed wide left with 3:36 left in the game.

NSU then proceeded to run the clock out by picking up a pair of key first downs on completions from Walley to Victor Hairston and Reggie Garrett.

Anyaugo was named NSU’s MVP after registering a career-high 13 tackles, two for loss, and the fumble return. Corwin Hammond added 10 tackles, one for a loss, and two QB pressures. Pugh and fellow linebacker Jamal Giddens combined for 13 tackles and 2.5 sacks. The Spartan defense notched 13 tackles for loss.

Offensively, Walley completed 21 of 31 passes for 153 yards and ran for another 39 yards and his first TD on the ground in a Spartan uniform.

Boyce led all players with seven catches for 84 yards, and Takeem Hedgeman rushed for a game-high 68 yards.

Wiley had 137 yards passing and 53 rushing to earn MVP honors for the Bulldogs, who were held to 270 total yards. They managed just 123 rushing yards on 48 carries, 2.6 yards per attempt. Linebacker Donovan Richard had a team-high 13 tackles.

The Spartans (5-1 overall, 4-0 MEAC) racked up 526 yards of total offense en route to their third consecutive win over the Hornets (2-4, 0-2).

NSU jumped out to a 24-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

DSU rallied and got as close as 10 in the final quarter, but the Spartans used late interceptions by Marcus Cooperwood and DeVonte Reynolds to seal the win.

Hedgeman got NSU on the board on the Spartans’ second play from scrimmage, scampering 58 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest run of his career and his first score of the year.

The Spartans added to their lead late in the first quarter on a 22-yard TD pass from Walley to Victor Hairston with 28 seconds left in the quarter.

Walley made it 21-0 with a 6-yard TD run on the Spartans’ first drive of the second quarter, capping an eight-play, 75-yard march.

The NSU defense had a hand in the team’s next score. Nose guard Josh Turner forced a fumble from DSU running back Jaashawn Jones, which defensive lineman Joey Christine pounced on at the Hornets’ 30yard line. Six plays later, Ryan Estep connected on a 24-yard field goal to extend NSU’s lead to 24-0.

DSU got on the board with 36 seconds left in the half on a 15-yard scoring pass from Nick Elko to Justin Wilson, cutting NSU’s edge to 24-7 going into the half.

Walley helped NSU engineer a 10-play, 78-yard drive for the only score of the third quarter. He hooked up with Xavier Boyce on an 18-yard touchdown pass with 3:26 left in the third quarter, making it 31-7.

The Hornets staged a fourth-quarter rally thanks to a pair of scoring strikes from Elko to Darius Jackson, covering 7 and 10 yards. The latter cut NSU’s advantage to 31-21 with 7:28 remaining in the game.

DSU got the ball back with 4:58 left in the game, but the Spartan defense sealed the Hornets’ fate. Elko was sacked by Chad Battles on first down, and was intercepted by Cooperwood on second down at the DSU 18. Hedgeman carried on the next three plays, scoring from 5 yards out with 3:01 left to cap the scoring.

Reynolds intercepted an Elko pass on the ensuing drive, and NSU ran out the clock.

Derrick Demps had three receptions for 72 yards, and Hairston had four grabs for 48 yards.

Elko finished 30-of-48 for 339 yards and three scores for DSU. Jackson (11-124) and Wilson (10-118) both topped the 100-yard receiving mark for the Hornets, but DSU was held to just 28 rushing yards on 25 carries.

HAMPTON UNIVERSITY

WILLIAM “DICK” PRICE STADIUM

Chris Walley passed for 265 yards and three touchdowns, and Randy Maynes ran 14 yards for the game-clinching touchdown with 7:43 left to lift Norfolk State to its third straight home win over Hampton in the State Farm Battle of the Bay. The win helps NSU (6-1, 4-0) match its best start since the 2007 team also started 6-1.

Walley threw all of his TD passes in the first half, when the Spartans sprinted out to a 27-7 lead. Hampton scored 17 unanswered points to rally to within 27-24 in the fourth quarter, but Maynes’ first TD run as a Spartan helped clinch NSU’s fifth straight win, tying the program’s longest streak in the Division I era.

NSU got on the board on its first possession as wideout Xavier Boyce turned a 3rd-and-20 screen pass into a 49-yard touchdown with 13:33 left in the first quarter. Ryan Estep’s extra point made it 7-0.

A short Hampton punt into a stiff wind coupled with a 15-yard Marcus Cooperwood punt return set up NSU at the Pirate 29-yard line on the next possession. Five plays later, Walley hit Victor Hairston on an 8-yard TD strike to make it 14-0.

Another short Hampton punt led to NSU’s next score, Estep’s 38-yard field goal with 4:14 left in the first quarter.

The Pirates got on the board on the last play of the first quarter as David Legree hit Dyrri McCain for a 10-yard TD pass, cutting HU’s deficit to 10.

But the Spartans scored the only 10 points of the second quarter to take a 27-7 lead into the half. Walley hit tight end Joe Hawkins on a 35yard touchdown pass with 8:13 left in the quarter. Hawkins’ first collegiate TD made it 24-7.

Estep finished the first-half scoring with a 22-yard field goal, capping a 12-play, 86-yard drive to give NSU a 27-7 edge with 1:50 left in the half.

The Pirates mounted a rally in the second half thanks to some big plays on offense and NSU miscues. A Pirate sack and short NSU punt gave the Pirates a short field to work with. Legree capped the drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Reginald Hicks on fourth down with 6:55 left in the third quarter, making it 27-14.

A 64-yard completion from Legree to Isiah Thomas set up Hampton’s next touchdown, a 1-yard Jeremiah Schwartz run on the first play of the fourth quarter that sliced the Spartan lead to 27-21.

Two NSU possessions later, Spartan running back Takeem Hedgeman fumbled, and HU defensive back Courtney Bridget recovered at the NSU 27. But the Spartan defense stiffened and limited the Pirates to a 34-yard Taurean Durham field goal that made it 27-24 with 10:09 left.

The Spartans took the ensuing kickoff and needed just five plays to score, all of them runs, with a Hampton person foul mixed in. Maynes carried on the final two plays of the drive, covering 13 and 14 yards, to again put NSU ahead by two scores.

The Spartan defense did the rest, forcing a turnover on downs and getting an interception by freshman safety Keenan Lambert to close out the win.

Walley finished the game 20-of-35 for 265 yards with three scores and one interception to earn NSU MVP honors. Maynes had season highs of 16 carries for 72 yards for NSU, which outgained HU 473-303. Hairston had a game-high nine receptions for the Spartans, and Boyce had three grabs for 70 yards.

Legree was harassed into 14-of-36 passing for 193 yards. The Pirates ran 38 times for just 110 yards.

Defensively, linebackers Corwin Hammond and Onyemechi Anyaugo had 13 and 10 tackles, respectively, to pace the Spartans. Anyaugo added 1.5 tackles for loss. Fellow linebacker Hasan Craig had eight tackles, including a career-best 2.5 sacks. Cornerback Marcus Cooperwood had four solo tackles, two for lost yardage, and a pass breakup.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 8 • Oct. 20, 2011 • Dick Price Stadium • Norfolk, Va.

Bethune-Cookman 14 #24 NSU 6 Isidore Jackson rushed for a career-high 206 yards on 34 carries, and Dion Hanks intercepted a Chris Walley pass in the end zone in the final minute of play to seal visiting Bethune-Cookman’s win in an ESPNU televised MEAC contest.

The loss is the first in MEAC play this season for the Spartans (6-2, 4-1), who had their five-game winning streak snapped. BCU improved to 4-3, 2-2 with the win.

NSU was held to a season-low 249 yards of offense by the Wildcats, who never trailed. NSU failed to score a TD against a Division I FCS opponent for the first time since a 43-3 loss to B-CU in 2004, a span of 70 games.

B-CU struck first on a 2-yard Anthony Jordan run with 4:08 left in the first quarter. That capped a 14-play, 88-yard drive.

The Spartans cut the deficit to 7-3 on a 50-yard Everett Goldberg field goal with just 2:18 left before halftime.

But B-CU took the third-quarter kickoff and drove 70 yards in eight plays for another score. Jackie Wilson hit K.J. Stroud on a 7-yard TD pass on third-and-goal to give the Wildcats a 14-3 lead.

NSU answered right back with another long Goldberg boot, this one coming from 47 yards to cap a 41-yard, 10-play drive, cutting the margin to 14-6. It was Goldberg’s fifth field goal of at least 47 yards in length this year.

But the Spartans committed three fourth-quarter turnovers, losing two fumbles and an interception. Their best scoring chance came on their final possession of the game. The Spartans started the possession at their 11 after a 45-yard Kory Kowalski punt. But a 45-yard completion from Nico Flores to Xavier Boyce moved the Spartans to the B-CU 37. Later in the drive, Boyce caught an 11-yard pass from Walley to give NSU a first down at the Wildcats’ 4. But on the next play, Walley’s pass into the end zone into the stiff night wind held up long enough for Hanks to intercept it and seal the win.

B-CU defensive end Ryan Davis was the defensive star of the night, finishing with 11 tackles, six for a loss, and 3.5 sacks. He forced a fumble and recovered another.

Both quarterbacks struggled in a game where winds topped 20 miles per hour much of the night. Walley (14-of-24) and Flores (3-of-4) combined to complete 17-of-28 passes, but they went for just 152 yards. Boyce led the way receiving with six catches for 76 yards.

Wilson finished 8-of-16 for 88 yards with two interceptions, but the Wildcats rushed for 245 yards, an NSU opponent season high.

Onyemechi Anyaugo and Corwin Hammond had 11 and 10 tackles, respectively, to lead the Spartan defense. Joey Christine had a careerhigh nine tackles, two for loss, and Terence Pugh had a career-high 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 9 • Oct. 29, 2011 • Dick Price Stadium • Norfolk, Va.

NSU 14 North Carolina A&T 10 The Norfolk State defense posted a season-high seven sacks and kept North Carolina A&T out of the end zone on three pass attempts in the final minute to preserve a 14-10 homecoming win in a battle of one-loss MEAC teams on Saturday afternoon at Dick Price Stadium.

The win keeps the Spartans (7-2, 5-1 MEAC) in first place in the MEAC, just ahead of Morgan State (5-3, 4-1), which also won on Saturday.

The MEAC’s top two defensive teams lived up to their billing on Saturday on a cold, damp day where winds topped 20 miles per hour and gusted over 30 mph. All the scoring came in the east end zone, with the wind at the offense’s back. But NSU get the Aggies (4-4, 3-2) from scoring at that end of the field when it mattered most, at the end of the game.

The Spartans won the toss and took the wind to start the game. They were rewarded when A&T had to punt from its 9-yard line and Skyler Thomas’ kick traveled 1 yard, setting up the Spartans at the Aggie 10.

Three plays later, Chris Walley hit Joe Hawkins for a 4-yard touchdown pass to give NSU a 7-0 lead.

But the Aggies scored 10 points in the second quarter, heading in the same direction. Ricky Lewis capped a four-play, 34-yard drive with a 1-yard TD run with 6:38 left in the second quarter to tie the game. Then just before the half, Jose Garcia-Camacho finished a seven-play, 39-yard march with a 20-yard field goal to give A&T a 10-7 lead going into the half.

With the wind in their favor in the third quarter, the Spartans took the lead for good with a five-play, 36-yard drive. Randy Maynes finished it off with a 3-yard touchdown run to put the Spartans ahead, 14-10, with 7:12 left in the quarter.

The NSU defense did the rest. The Aggies’ last five possessions of the game ended in NSU territory, but resulted in no points. The first two, in the third quarter, ended on downs and a sack by Hasan Craig, respectively. Early in the fourth, Garcia-Camacho had a 44-yard field goal blocked by Jamal Giddens.

A&T opted to punt on its next possession, and the Spartans succeeded in running 3:38 off the clock with their next drive. But A&T had two timeouts and 2:19 left with which to work, and took over at its own 33.

Three runs by quarterback Lewis Kindle moved the ball into NSU territory.

Kindle then converted a fourth-and-6 flip pass to Mike Mayhew covering 16 yards to the Spartan 13 with 45 seconds left.

A&T spiked the ball on first down, but Kindle’s next three passes, all into the end zone, fell incomplete, including a fourth-down pass to Torrian Warren that just squirted out of the wideout’s grasp.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 10 • Nov. 5, 2011 • T.A. Wright Stadium • Savannah, Ga.

NSU 45 Savannah State 3 Quarterback Chris Walley accounted for 343 yards of total offense and five touchdowns, and visiting Norfolk State clinched at least a share of its first-ever MEAC football title with a 45-3 win over Savannah State.

The win is the Spartans’ eighth of the season and sixth in MEAC play, tying the 2007 team for the most of each in school history. NSU (8-2, 6-1 MEAC) rolled up a season-high 559 yards of total offense while holding the Tigers (1-8, 1-5) to 45, the lowest by a Spartan opponent in the Pete Adrian era. Five of NSU’s seven scoring drives lasted 70 seconds or less.

Walley completed 20 of 25 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran four times for 72 yards and two more scores. Walley’s favorite target was sophomore Derrick Demps, who established new career highs with five catches for 106 yards. He also scored the first two touchdowns of his collegiate career.

NSU needed less than a minute to get on the board. The Spartans kicked off to start the game, but linebacker Chad Battles forced a fumble from SSU (1-8, 1-5 MEAC) kickoff returner Chris Strong, which safety Darrin Marrow recovered. Walley promptly hit Demps for a 31-yard TD pass to give NSU a 7-0 lead.

Walley called his own number on the Spartans’ next scoring play.

Walley faked a handoff, then darted 17 yards for his third touchdown run of the year to give NSU a 14-0 lead.

NSU was backed up on its own 13 on its next drive, but needed just two plays to score. Freshman Keith Johnson ripped off an 85-yard run on a first-down reverse. The longest run in school history set up the Spartans at the SSU 2. On the next play, Walley hit senior tight end Joseph Holbrook on a 2-yard TD pass. Holbrook’s first career score put NSU ahead, 21-0.

The Spartans outgained the Tigers 233-23 in total offense in the first quarter.

Ryan Estep got into the record-breaking action in the second quarter. Estep made a 19-yard field goal, his school-record 16th of the season, to give the Spartans a 24-0 lead going into halftime.

Walley finished off a quick four-play drive to start the second half with a career-long 52-yard TD run, giving NSU a 31-0 cushion.

SSU used a 38-yard kickoff return and a 15-yard personal foul penalty on the Spartans to set up its only score of the night, a 44-yard Derek Williams field goal on the game’s next possession.

But that would be the Tigers’ lone bright spot, while the Spartans big-play offense kept striking. Walley and Demps capped their big nights with a 45-yard TD hookup with 3:31 left in the third quarter, pushing NSU’s edge to 38-3.

Backup quarterback Nico Flores finished NSU’s scoring with a 4-yard TD run with 12:13 remaining in the game. It was Flores’ second touchdown run of the year.

With his 271-yard night, Walley jumped from seventh to fourth in school history in passing yards. He surpassed Willie Gillus, Dennis Brown and Kermit Buggs during the game.

Linebacker Corwin Hammond led the Spartan defense with eight tackles, three for lost yardage, and had one of the team’s four sacks.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 11 • Nov. 12, 2011 • Hughes Stadium • Baltimore, Md.

#22 NSU 47 Morgan State 14 Quarterback Chris Walley passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, and the Norfolk State defense held Morgan State scoreless in the second half to lead the Spartans to a 47-14 win, clinching the Spartans’ first-ever outright MEAC football title and Division I FCS playoff bid.

The 22nd-ranked Spartans (9-2, 7-1 MEAC) secured the school’s first conference title since the 1984 team won the last of the program’s four CIAA titles in Division II. NSU also won its ninth game of the year, second-most in school history behind the 1984 team, which finished 10-2.

The Spartans also secured the MEAC’s automatic berth in the 20-team Division I FCS playoffs, which begin on Nov. 26.

NSU led just 20-14 at halftime, but scored 17 points in a four-minute span early in the third quarter to pull away. Junior running back Randy Maynes gave NSU some immediate breathing room on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, bursting through the middle of the defense for a 56-yard touchdown run to give the Spartans a 27-14 lead.

Morgan State (5-5, 4-3) was held three-and-out on its next drive, and a 48-yard completion from Walley to freshman Keith Johnson moved the Spartans deep into Bear territory again. A 28-yard Ryan Estep field goal extended the lead to 30-14 with 10:50 left in the third quarter.

NSU wasn’t done, as special teamer Tyrece Shepherd forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff that the Spartans’ Marcell Coke recovered and returned to the MSU 1. Walley bulled in from there to make it 37-14 just 16 seconds later.

The Spartans added 10 more points in the fourth quarter, on a 23-yard Estep field goal – his fourth of the day – and a 2-yard TD run by Takeem Hedgeman to complete the scoring.

The game didn’t start so smoothly for NSU, however. The Bears scored first as Seth Higgins hit Tyrone Hendrix on a 53-yard TD pass on the second play of their second possession, giving MSU a 7-0 advantage with 9:55 left in the first quarter.

But the Spartans answered with 20 unanswered points to take a 13-point lead. After the Bears’ first score, NSU answered on its next possession with a 60-yard TD pass from Walley to Kelvin Lewis, and Estep’s extra point tied the game at 7-all with 7:46 left in the quarter.

Walley then tossed his second TD of the quarter, finding Joe Hawkins on a 6-yard scoring strike to give the Spartans a 14-7 lead with 16 seconds left in the first quarter.

Estep made field goals of 32 and 39 yards in the second quarter to boost the NSU edge to 20-7.

MSU’s big-play offense cut the Spartan lead to 20-14 heading into the half. Travis Davidson scored on a 49-yard TD run to get the Bears back into it with 4:00 left in the second quarter.

But the Bears were unable to scratch in the second half. Outside of their two long scoring plays in the first half, MSU managed just 139 yards of total offense on its other 65 plays from scrimmage against the MEAC’s top overall and second defense.

Walley completed 12 of 22 passes for 187 yards. Lewis accounted for 113 all-purpose yards (79 receiving, 34 rushing), while Maynes led the team with nine carries for 68 yards. The Spartans outgained MSU 335-241.

Onyemechi Anyaugo led the NSU defense with 11 tackles, including one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup. Corwin Hammond added nine tackles and recovered a fumble, and Jamal Giddens had seven tackles, four for loss, including a career-high three sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass breakup.

2011 GAME RECAPS Game 12 • Nov. 26, 2011 • Foreman Field • Norfolk, Va.

#10 Old Dominion 35 #19 NSU 18 Freshman quarterback Taylor Heinicke threw for 269 yards and five touchdowns to lift host Old Dominion to a 35-18 win over Norfolk State in the first round of the Division I Football Championship at Foreman Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium.

The first-ever meeting between the two Norfolk schools separated by less than five miles started off with the teams trading offensive fireworks. But the No. 19 Spartans (9-3), making their first-ever appearance in the Division I playoffs, couldn’t overcome their 18 penalties and Heinicke’s big day. As a result, the 10th-ranked Monarchs (10-2) advanced to the second round to meet third-seeded Georgia Southern.

NSU wasted no time getting on the board. The Spartans held ODU three-and-out on the Monarchs’ first drive, but Heinicke’s 64-yard punt pinned NSU at its own 4. After a false start penalty moved the Spartans back two more yards, Chris Walley delivered a strike to Derrick Demps, who snared the ball around his own 30. Two Monarch defenders collided trying to tackle Demps, who raced untouched into the end zone to complete a 98-yard pass play, the longest play from scrimmage in school history. The play is also the longest by an ODU opponent in the Monarchs’ short three-year history.

But ODU answered with a seven-play, 85-yard drive to tie the game.

Heinicke found Nick Mayers on a 3-yard touchdown pass with 10:52 left in the first quarter.

Later in the quarter, Heinicke capped a 10-play drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Larry Pinkard to give the Monarchs a 14-7 with 2:37 left.

Heinicke threw his third TD pass of the first half just 17 seconds into the second quarter, hitting Prentice Gill for a 24-yard score and a 21-7 ODU lead.

NSU held the Monarchs scoreless the rest of the half, but the Spartans’ best scoring chance was snuffed out when Ryan Estep’s 37-yard field goal was blocked by Chris Burnette with 6:04 remaining in the half.

The Spartans had another field goal blocked on their first drive of the third quarter, as Everett Goldberg’s 50-yard field goal was deflected by Edmon McClam. ODU then promptly drove down the field and Heinicke hit Mayers for a 2-yard TD pass and a 28-7 Monarchs’ lead.

Heinicke wasn’t done, tossing an 18-yard TD pass to Gill for a 35-7 ODU edge with 5:14 left in the third quarter for his fifth touchdown pass of the day.

Goldberg broke up the string of 35 unanswered ODU points with a 48-yard field goal with 12:09 remaining in the game. Walley capped the scoring by hitting Victor Hairston for a 5-yard TD pass with 3:16 left.

Walley also added the two-point conversion run to account for the final score.

The Spartans outgained ODU 406-385. Walley passed for a careerhigh 363 yards and completed 28-of-43 passes with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Hairston and Reggie Garrett had seven and six catches, respectively, and both had 63 yards receiving.

Corwin Hammond led the NSU defense with 12 total tackles. Giddens and Onyemechi Anyaugo had eight apiece, with Giddens tallying 1.5 sacks.

2012 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

ABOUT THE MEAC THE MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) begins its 43rd year of intercollegiate competition heading into the 2012-13 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 and 2012. Also during 2011, 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

94

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, Hampton and Norfolk State made history in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament by accounting for half of the six No. 15 seed over No. 2 seed upsets in tourney annals. Coppin State defeated South Carolina in 1997, Hampton defeated Iowa State in 2001 and NSU ousted Missouri in 2012. ESPN’s SportsCenter ranked the CSU and Hampton wins among the Top 10 greatest tournament upsets of all time, while NSU’s win over Missouri was nominated for the Best Upset ESPY in 2012.

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 as high as No. 18.

Florida A&M was the first MEAC baseball team to advance to NCAA postseason play in 1994, falling to Southeastern Louisiana in a best-of-three series. 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.
