FCS PLAYOFFS/OVC TIEBREAKER The participants in the 2010 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) Playoffs will be announced on Sunday, Nov. 21. In the event of a tie for the OVC Championship, the following procedures will be used to break all ties and to determine the league’s NCAA playoff representative. TWO-WAY TIES 1.) A two-way tie shall exist only if the tied teams have the same number of losses. 2.) Should two teams have the same number of losses, and the two teams played each other during the regular season, the winner of the head-to-head contest shall be the league’s postseason representative. 3.) If the two tied teams have the same number of losses, but did not play each other during the regular season, the following procedure shall be utilized to break the tie: a.) A comparison of each team’s headto-head record against the team occupying the highest position in the regular-season standings that each team has played. If one team won its game against that team, the winning team shall be declared the representative. b.) Should the procedure outlined in Item a. fail to break the tie, the process will continue to the next-place team and beyond until the tie is broken. c.) When arriving at another group of tied teams, composite records between the tying teams shall be utilized to determine if one of the tied teams has won more games against the group of tied teams. 4.) If the procedures described previously fail to break the tie, the representative shall be determined by a coin flip. MULTIPLE TIES 1.) A multiple tie (three or more teams) shall exist only if the tied teams have the same number of losses. 2.) If all of the teams involved in the multiple tie played each other during the regular season, then the composite records among the tied teams shall be compared to break the tie. 3.) If the process outlined in Step 2 reduces the tie to a tie among two teams, the two-team tiebreaker formula shall then be utilized. 4.) If not all of the tied teams played each other during the regular season, or if step 2 does not break or reduce the tie, the following procedure shall be utilized: a.) A comparison of each of the tied teams’ head-to-head record against the team occupying the highest position in the regularseason standings that each team has played. If one team won its game against that team, the winning team shall be declared the representative. b.) Should the procedure outlined in Item a. fail to break the tie, the process will continue to the next-place team and beyond until the tie is broken. c.) When arriving at another group of tied teams, composite records between the tying teams shall be utilized to determine if one of the tied teams has won more games against the group of tied teams. 5.) If the procedures described previously fail to break the tie, the representative shall be determined by a blind drawing.

E

ntering its 63rd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athleticallyrelated aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 62 years, 14 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships, as they compiled a 15-1 league record over that time period. Only one other Football Championship Subdivision school (UMass) has won more Conference titles than the Colonels. Among OVC teams, former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with nine, and Murray State and former member Western Kentucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed five football crowns (including the 2009 title) while Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, UT Martin (which captured its first crown in 2006) and former member Youngstown State have one title apiece. Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them - Eastern Kentucky and Murray State - were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU was coached by former all-America quarterback Roy Kidd, who was in his 16th year at the helm of his alma mater and who skippered the Colonels to a second national title three years later. Following the 2002 season, Kidd retired after 39 years at EKU, a one-school tenure unmatched in all of Division I. Upon retirement, he ranked sixth all-time among Division I coaches with 315 victories, earning him a spot in the College Football Hall

of Fame. EKU’s 19 FCS playoff appearances are the second most all-time (behind only Montana). In addition to Kidd, other coaching legends in the OVC include Charles (Bubber) Murphy, who coached at Middle Tennessee from 1947-1968, Western Kentucky’s Jimmy Feix (1968-83), Wilburn Tucker (1954-67) and Don Wade (1968-82) of Tennessee Tech, Bill Ferguson (1967-77) of Murray State, Guy Penny (1959-67) of Morehead State and Boots Donnelly (1977-78 at Austin Peay; 1979-1998 at Middle Tennessee). Current Eastern Illinois head coach Bob Spoo has compiled 88 wins while his program has been a member of the OVC; that currently ranks fifth all-time in league history. A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were AllAmericans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. The OVC has had at least one former player named a NFL Pro Bowl selection in each of the past four seasons. The 2007 season marked a return to scholarship football and the OVC for the Austin Peay Governors. Following the 1996 season the Governors dropped scholarship football and competed as both an independent (199700, 2006) and as a member of the Pioneer Football League (2001-05). The 2007 season also brought new vernacular to the Ohio Valley Conference and the division formerly known as I-AA. Beginning with the 2006 National Championship game the term I-AA was changed to NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in a decision by the Division I Board of Directors. The new label was chosen to communicate in a positive and clear manner the unique differences between Division I football categories (chiefly, the post-season opportunity) while still defining them within the Division I experience. The FCS includes programs that compete in an effort to participate in the NCAA championship postseason structure (one of 88 NCAA national championships) as opposed to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) which competes in an effort to participate in the postseason bowl system (the 32 NCAA-licensed events which includes the Bowl Championship Series). Football wasn’t the only sport in which the OVC was quickly gaining respect. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. In the late 1970s, women’s athletics began somewhat of a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The league also had another historical moment in November 2008 when the NCAA awarded Nashville the 2014 NCAA Women’s Division I Final Four. The OVC will serve as the host of the prestigious event, which is one of the biggest sporting events the city of Nashville can host. The event will be held at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. Over its 62 years, OVC teams have garnered national championships and bowl games in football, along with national team or individual titles in

the sports of rifle, cross country, track and golf. The OVC has also produced several Olympic athletes, including Murray State’s Morgan Hicks, who was a member of the 2004 United States Olympic Rifle Team and Morehead State’s Brian Shimer who competed in five Winter Olympics in bobsled (winning a bronze medal in 2002) and coached the 2010 United States bobsled team to its first gold medal since 1948. In addition, some of the greatest players in professional sports were educated at OVC institutions. The list includes former greats such as football’s Phil Simms (Morehead State), basketball’s Clem Haskins (Western Kentucky) and Bubba Wells (Austin Peay) and two-sport star Steve Hamilton (Morehead State) to present-day standouts like basketball player Trenton Hassell (Austin Peay), football player Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois) and baseball players George Sherrill (Austin Peay) and Jon Rauch (Morehead State). Hamilton is the only athlete to ever play in the NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a NBA Championship Series (Los Angeles Lakers). A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Kentucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in the same school year. A year later (2009) the league had a Major League Baseball First Round Compensation Round pick (Eastern Illinois’ Tyler Kehrer who was No. 48 overall) and NBA Second Round pick (UT Martin’s Lester Hudson) in the same season. The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six ScholarAthlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 192 student-athletes honored with the award, including 25 over the last two years (2008-09, 2009-10). Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC

took the leadership role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

OVC HONORS AND AWARDS The Ohio Valley Conference implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy promoting fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent in 1995. The statement answered a challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in college athletics, and has become a model for others to follow across the nation. The development of the OVC sportsmanship statement began in June 1993 at the direction of the league's presidents. A committee made up of athletics directors and faculty representatives drafted the initial statement, and all coaches and other administrators had the opportunity for input. The statement sets forth expectations for spirit groups, officials and fans, as well as the student-athletes and coaches. Here is a brief synopsis of each group's expectations within the sportsmanship statement. Administrators: Institutional administrators will create an environment of hospitality for visiting teams, particularly for those individuals at Conference institutions. Administrators will treat the visiting teams and its fans in the same manner that they would want their teams to be treated. Coaches: Coaches have the greatest amount of influence over whether young people in their programs are taught and follow the high principles of sportsmanship. The OVC has been benefited by coaches who have risked losing a contest by removing student-athletes who have demonstrated disrespect for their opponents. This discipline measure educates that individual about the importance of sportsmanship over participation and winning, and helps counteract the constant messages received from many professional athletes who demonstrate a lack of respect for opponents. Student-Athletes: Student-athletes at OVC institutions will be expected to treat opponents with sportsmanship, and there will be no tolerance for taunting and baiting of opponents. OVC student-athletes must understand that they are perhaps the most visible representatives of their institutions and their behavior is observed and emulated by many who are younger. OVC student-athletes must honor the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of representing our schools by behaving with dignity and class on and off the field. Spirit Groups: Like our student-athletes, spirit groups are visible representatives of our universities, and they are expected to show decent behavior. Cheerleaders, bands and other spirit groups are admitted to contests to support their teams and assist in creating a fun atmosphere, but they will not be allowed to disrupt or confront opposing teams. Officials: Officials will enforce the rules regarding sportsmanship without tolerance for abuse. Players and coaches will receive their only warning prior to the contest, and once the contest begins, penalties will be assessed for violations of unsportsmanlike conduct. Fans: We know all fans are embarrassed by the inappropriate behavior of a few who may engage in confrontational and threatening actions towards officials, visiting fans, players or coaches. Those individuals may be dismissed to provide a better environment for others. The Conference believes that the effort to meet the expectations outlined in the sportsmanship statement will increase the attractiveness at our athletics events by creating a healthy environment for competition. A complete copy of the sportsmanship statement can be obtained by calling the OVC office at (615) 371-1698.

The OVC has a variety of awards to recognize sportsmanship by its student-athletes, coaches, administrators and teams. In 1998, the OVC established the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, presented annually to a male or female junior or senior student-athlete who best exemplifies the characteristics of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and administrator. Hamilton is the only individual to have ever played in a NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a National Basketball Association Championship Series (Minnesota Lakers). In 2003-04 the League began awarding the Institutional Sportsmanship Award, given to the OVC member institution selected by its peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. In 2005-06 the League expanded the sportsmanship award program by adding the Team Sportsmanship Award. An award is given to each sport sponsored by the OVC and is voted on by the student-athletes and coaches of the respective sports.

Returning players who were first-team All-OVC picks last season (12 in total) were automatic selections to the preseason team this year. The squad also included seven players who were second-team selections in 2009. Of the 25 total selections, 13 were seniors, 11 were juniors and there was one sophomore pick. 14

2010 Ohio Valley Conference Football Media Guide

League Announces “OVC Game of the Week” Television Package With Wazoo Sports: In July 2010 the Ohio Valley Conference announced its a partnership with Wazoo Sports to produce and distribute an “OVC Game of Week” football package for 2010. The 10-game package will begin with Austin Peay at Tennessee State and feature a different game every week through the end of the regular season (Nov. 20). Eight of the 10 games will have a 6 p.m. CT kickoff. Each of the nine OVC football schools will appear on the broadcast at least twice during the season. Wazoo Sports, Inc. is a Regional Sports Network that delivers coverage of NCAA, NAIA high school, and youth sports live and on-demand on television and over the Internet. Wazoo Sports has produced over 360 LIVE games and is currently in over 600,000 households in Kentucky. Wazoo Sports is headquartered in London, Kentucky. Wazoo and the OVC first worked together in March 2010 to televise the OVC Women’s Basketball Tournament. A complete list of stations and affilliates that will broadcast the “OVC Game of the Week” package will be available in August at OVCSports.com. FCS Playoff Expansion: For the first time in 2010 the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoff field will be 20 teams, up from 16 a year ago. In April 2008 the NCAA Board of Directors approved the expansion. It marks the first expansion since the field grew from 12 to 16 teams in 1997. The field will be comprised of 10 automatic bids (up from 8) and 10 at-large berths. This season there will be four first round matchups (8 total teams), while 12 teams will receive a bye into the second round. For the first time in 2010, the championship game will be played in Frisco, Texas at Pizza Hut Park, a 23,500-seat multipurpose stadium. The Southland Conference will serve as the host of the championship, which will be held on Friday, Jan. 7. Preseason Forecasts: For the second-straight season five different schools received at least one first-place vote in the preseason predicted order of finish balloting. Jacksonville State received the most (11 of 18) while Eastern Illinois (4), Eastern Kentucky (1), Tennessee Tech (1) and Tennessee State (1) were also in the mix. JSU was picked first for the third time in the past six seasons. Is being picked first in the preseason poll necessarily a good thing? In the past 31 years of preseason polls (all that were available), the preseason predicted champion has only gone on to win the OVC Championship 12 times (38.7%). Over the past seven years not once has the eventual champion been predicted in the preseason poll (it was last done correctly in 2002). Year 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010

NFL Connections: As of July 1, 19 former Ohio Valley Conference players are on NFL rosters for the 2010 season. Those players include former Eastern Illinois standout Tony Romo, a three-time Pro Bowl pick, Cortland Finnegan (Samford), who has been a Pro Bowl defensive back selection with the Tennessee Titans


and Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who was a starter for the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII and was a Pro Bowl selection last season. There are four players on NFL rosters who played in the OVC last season including Eastern Illinois offensive linemen Chris Campbell (Green Bay Packers) and Otis Hudson (Cincinnati Bengals), UT Martin offensive lineman Joe Gibbs (St. Louis Rams) and Murray State defensive lineman Austen Lane (Jacksonville Jaguars). Seven of the nine current OVC football schools have at least one player in the NFL with Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State leading the way with four players apiece. Several NFL coaches also have connections to OVC schools, including three who went to Eastern Illinois, the “Cradle of NFL Head Coaches.” Those coaches include Brad Childress (Minnesota), Super Bowl champion Sean Payton (New Orleans) and Mike Shanahan (Washington). UT Martin graduate and former assistant coach Jerry Reese made waves in 2007 when he led the New York Giants to Super Bowl XLII in his first season as General Manager with the franchise. A Look at the Coaches: There are two new coaches and seven returnees among the head coaching ranks in the Ohio Valley Conference this season. Chris Hatcher takes over at Murray State after tenures at Valdosta State and Georgia Southern and Rod Reed is now in charge at Tennessee State (his alma mater) after serving on the staff as an assistant and defensive coordinator. The Dean of OVC Coaches is Eastern Illinois coach Bob Spoo who is in his 23rd season with the Panthers in 2009. Spoo has 88 total wins while EIU has been a member of the OVC, a mark that ranks fifth in OVC history. OVCSports.TV: For the fifth consecutive year, fans can watch every Conference matchup and all non-conference home contests at OVCSports.TV. The venture with NeuLion (formerly JumpTV Sports) allows fans to access live and on-demand streaming video and audio of all conference matchups on their home computer. The premium Web site was launched in July 2006 and streamed over a thousand events in its first four seasons, including all Conference matchups in football and men’s and women’s basketball as well as select baseball, soccer, softball and volleyball games and OVC Championship events. Packages are available on a yearly, seasonally, monthly or per-event basis.

RYAN WHITE

Junior • Running Back 5-7 • 199 • Nashville, Tenn. 2010 All-OVC Preseason Team...Led the OVC in rushing in 2009, carrying the ball 230 times for 1,081 yards (4.7 ypc) and four touchdowns...Named OVC Player of the Week on Oct. 11 after rushing for 228 yards and a touchdown in the Governors win over Southeast Missouri...The 228-yard game was the eighthhighest in FCS football during the 2009 season (and second-highest in APSU history)...In the season opener against Newberry, rushed for 210 yards in a victory; that was the 13th-highest total in FCS football during the year...Scored a season-best two touchdowns in the season finale against UT Martin.

TEAM NOTES • Ryan White finished the 2009 season as the OVC’s only 1,000-yard rusher with 1,081 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Teammate Terrence Holt, meanwhile, finished third in the OVC in rushing with 793 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. He led the conference in rushing touchdowns with 13. • Ryan White and Terrence Holt were named first-team All-OVC at running back in 2009, making them the first pair of running backs from the same school to earn firstteam All-OVC since 1990 when Middle Tennessee’s Joe Campbell was named firstteam running back and teammate Wade Johnson was selected first-team fullback. • Senior running back/kick return specialist Terrence Holt led led the FCS in all-purpose yards in 2009, averaging 215.7 yards per game, with his overall 2,373 all-purpose yards setting an APSU record. Holt has accumulated at least 1,000 kickoff return yards, becoming the first player in Austin Peay and OVC history to do so. • The AP is back, on the helmet, that is. Austin Peay’s football team was surprised, Oct. 24, 2009 when they reported to the Dunn Center to play Eastern Kentucky. The players found the AP logo back on the helmet for the first time in three years. “It all part of the process, all part of the plan,” said APSU coach Rick Christophel at the time. “Everything is going to be red and white. We got new uniforms (in 2009) with white pants. Our next thing will be going back to white facemasks.” When Christophel took over as APSU’s head coach after the 2006 season the AP was not placed on the helmets when APSU bought new helmets.

Conf. (Finish) 5-3 (3rd-t) 2-6 (7th-t) 3-5 (6th)

Rick Christophel was named the 17th head coach in Austin Peay history on March 23, 2007. The former Govs quarterback returned to his alma mater and led the team to a 7-4 record (5-3 in the OVC) in his first season. He became the first APSU coach since 1979 to win seven games in his initial season with the team.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

ASSISTANT COACHES

• Christophel became the first APSU graduate to head the Governors program since 1973-76 when he took over the program in 2007. In his first season in Clarksville, Christophel led the team to a 7-4 overall record and third-place finish in the OVC (5-3). He was the first head coach since 1979 (Watson Brown) to win as many as seven games in his initial season. Only one coach (“Boots” Donnelly) won more games (8 in 1977) in his inaugural season with the program. The seven wins was the most for APSU as a scholarship program since 1984.

Asst. Head Coach/Offensive Line: ...................... Steve Haywood Alma Mater: ....................... Austin Peay, 1998 (12th season)

• Was the Austin Peay State starter from 1971-74, playing safety his freshman season before moving to quarterback for his final three years. A two-time team captain, Christophel completed 175-of-384 passes for 2,073 yards and 14 touchdowns in his three seasons. He also did some punting, averaging 35.1 yards per punt for his career. He finished his career ranked second in both passing and punting yards. • It is a family affair for the Christophel family at Austin Peay ... Rick’s brothers Randy (1975-78) and Rob (1981-83) also both quarterbacked Austin Peay. • Christophel served as a graduate assistant at APSU from 197576 and as a full-time assistant coach from 1979-81. • Christophel has also been an assistant coach at Southern Arkansas (1982), Cincinnati (1983), Rice (1984-85), Vanderbilt (198690), Mississippi State (1991-94) and UAB (1995-07). He was the defensive coordinator at Vandy (1989) and UAB (2001, 2006-07). • Christophel is very familiar with the head coach at Tennessee Tech, Watson Brown. The duo have coached together in 22 of Christophel’s 32 years in the profession, including most recently at UAB in 2006. 20

LORENCE RICKS

Junior • WR/Kick Specialist 6-1 • 174 • Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Ricks is one the top special teams players in the FCS ranks as he serves not only as the Panthers top kick return man but also as a vital player on kick off and punt coverage...Ricks was named the FCS National Special Teams Player of the Week on Oct. 25 after returning a kick 87 yards for a touchdown, blocking a punt to setup a score and forcing a key fumble late in the game...He averaged 30.6 yards per kick return with one touchdown while making 10 special teams tackles with two forced fumbles and two blocked kicks...As a wide receiver he had 19 catches for 381 yards (20.1 yards per catch) with three touchdowns.

RASHAD HAYNES

Senior • Corner Back 5-11 • 178 • Rockledge, Fla. Haynes was the Panthers top shut down corner last season and enters the season ranked seventh on the EIU career interceptions list...He is in the top 10 for NCAA active leaders in interceptions per game...Last season Haynes had an interception returned for a touchdown against Murray State...He ranked fourth on the team in tackles with 46 including 32 solo stops...Haynes was credited with 11 pass breakups on the year.

TEAM NOTES • With the Panthers advancement to the 2009 FCS playoffs it marked the ninth time that Bob Spoo has led the program to the post season. He missed a 10th FCS playoff trip when he was sidelined for the 2006 season. The nine FCS playoff appearances rank fifth all-time in the FCS ranks and are second among FCS active coaches. • EIU ended the most recent decade of FCS football with 72 total wins. That total was best among Ohio Valley Conference schools as the Panthers won five conference championships and made seven post-season appearances in that same time frame. • EIU is once again the “Cradle of NFL Head Coaches” as the Panthers boast three alumni currently serving as NFL head coaches. They include current Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan and Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress. • EIU head coach Bob Spoo enters his 23rd season as the Panthers head coach. He is currently tied with Virginia Tech’s Frank Beameras the fifth longest active tenure as head coach at the same Division I school. Both coaches have been with their respective programs since 1987. Penn State’s Joe Paterno heads the list with his time at Penn State starting in 1966. • Last season Eastern Illinois played at Penn State in front of a crowd of 104,488 in Happy Valley. That was the largest crowd to ever see an OVC school play, eclipsing the previous mark of 85,754 between Tennessee Tech and Auburn.

BOB SPOO HEAD COACH 23RD SEASON 140-113-1 CAREER RECORD Birthdate: Hometown: College: Family:

The “Dean” of OVC football coaches, Bob Spoo returns for his 23rd season at Eastern Illinois in 2010. He has directed the Panthers to four playoff appearances in the last five seasons.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS • Spoo begins his 23rd season as Eastern Illinois’ coach in 2010; he is the longest tenured coach in the Ohio Valley Conference. The second longest tenured coach on that list is Jacksonville State’s Jack Crowe at 11 years. • Spoo has guided EIU to nine playoff appearances, which ranks fifth all-time in FCS history.

• Spoo sat out the 2006 campaign after undergoing a medical procedure the week of the season opener. What was originally to be a four to six week absence lingered throughout the season and he did not return fulltime until after the playoffs. The Panthers 8-5 overall record (and 7-1 OVC mark) was attributed to acting head coach Mark Hutson. Spoo returned to the sidelines in 2007 and led the Panthers to their 12th FCS Playoff berth.

ASSISTANT COACHES

• Spoo is first among among active OVC coaches with 140 victories and that total is second all-time in OVC history behind EKU Hall of Famer Roy Kidd (315).

Offensive Line: ..................................................... Brian Callahan Alma Mater: .................... Eastern Illinois, 1992 (1st season)

• Spoo’s tenure at EIU (since 1987) is the fifth longest among active Division I coaches. That list is headed by Joe Paterno (at Penn State since 1966); the two squared off last year (Oct. 10) in Happy Valley. • Spoo was a three-year letterwinner and two-year starting quarterback at Purdue University (1956-58), a school that is on the Panthers schedule this season. He was the co-captain of the Blue Squad in the 1958 Blue-Gray All-Star Game. • Spoo was named National Coach of the Year at Wilmette Loyola Academy High School (1970 by National High School Coaches Assocation) and Eastern Illinois (1995 by the Football Gazette). He was the runner-up for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award in 2000. Spoo has earned OVC Coach of the Year honors three times (2001, 2005, 2009) and Gateway Coach of the Year once (1995). 26

T.J. PRYOR

Sophomore • Quarterback 6-2 • 194 • Louisville, Ky. Named 2009 OVC Freshman of the Year after finishing fourth in the OVC with 2,153 passing yards last season...Completed 169-of-291 passes (58.1%) and had six touchdown passes and four rushing scores...Became just the sixth Colonel to throw for at least 2,000 yards in a season...Made his first start at No. 23 Eastern Illinois where he completed 19-of30 passes for 293 yards and two scores in the 3631 upset win...Played a big role in the team’s near upset of FBS Indiana to start the season...Was named OVC Newcomer of the Week three times during the season.

ANDREW SOUCY Senior • Defensive Line 6-2 • 298 • Canton, Ga.

2010 Preseason All-OVC selection...Was a 2009 first-team All-OVC after leading the team and ranking fifth in the OVC with 9.5 tackles for loss...In 11 total games recorded 49 tackles (24 solo), 3.0 sacks, seven quarterback hurries, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble...Blocked a field goal or extra point attempt in five straight games; his five blocks were the most by any player in the OVC...Had a career game with eight tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a blocked PAT in the win over UT Martin.

TEAM NOTES • Eastern Kentucky’s home opener is scheduled for Oct. 2 against Kentucky State marking the latest date for a home opener since 1964. • The Colonel defense remains relatively intact as eight starters return in 2010 including three All-OVC performers – defensive lineman Andrew Soucy, linebacker Jordan Dalrymple and defensive back Jeremy Caldwell. EKU’s defense prides itself in turnovers, but the Colonel defense did not force a turnover in the final three games of 2009. • The Colonels hope to pick up their first road non-conference victory since 2002 this September. EKU’s first three games are on the road including pivotal FCS contests at Missouri State (Sept. 2) and Chattanooga (Sept. 18). • In 2008 Eastern Kentucky claimed its record 20th OVC Championship and appeared in its 19th NCAA FCS Playoff. The 19 FCS Playoff berths are second most all time by a Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) team (trailing only the 20 appearances by Montana).

Dean Hood was introduced as the 13th head coach in Eastern Kentucky football history on January 22, 2008. After spending the seven seasons at Wake Forest University, Hood returned to EKU, where he served as an assistant coach under the legendary Roy Kidd from 1994-98. He was named OVC Coach of the Year in his first season after leading the Colonels to the OVC title.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

ASSISTANT COACHES

• In his first season as EKU head coach, Hood led the Colonels to its 20th OVC Championship and a berth in the FCS Playoffs. For that he was named Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year, marking the 12th time an EKU coach has won the award (10 times by Kidd for who the award is named).

Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks: ............. Mike Springston Alma Mater: .............. West Virginia Tech, 1982 (3rd season)

• Hood was a three-time All-North Coast Athletic Conference selection at Ohio Wesleyan University, where he played defensive back. He was named a first-team All-American his senior season and served as team captain in each of his final two seasons. Hood was inducted into the OWU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001.

Defensive Line: ..................................................... Jake Johnson Alma Mater: ................ Eastern Kentucky, 2002 (7th season)

• Hood got his coaching start at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College (1987-88) before moving on to Colgate in 1989. From 1990-93 he served as an assistant coach at Glenville (W.Va.) State, helping the program to the NAIA National Championship game in 1993. After serving as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky from 1994-98, Hood was at Ohio University for two years before moving onto Wake Forest. • As defensive coordinator at Wake Forest, Hood’s teams were known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, which translated to more than two per game. In 2006, Wake won the ACC Championship for the first time since 1970 and competed in the BCS FedEx Orange Bowl. In 2007, Wake Forest led the ACC with 35 forced turnovers as the team finished the season 9-4 and captured the Meineke Car Care Bowl championship. • While serving as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky, Hood’s teams combined for a 32-6 OVC record, a pair of Conference championships (1994, 1997) and three FCS Playoff appearances (1994, 1995, 1997). 32

TEAM NOTES • Jax State is the winningest team – by percentage – in the Ohio Valley Conference since joining the league in 2003. The Gamecocks have won 76.4 percent of their games, posting a 43-13 record. Eastern Kentucky is second with a 71.6 all-time winning percentage, while Eastern Illinois has a 67.7 winning percentage. • Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium, home of the Gamecocks since 1947, just finished an 18-month, $47 million expansion that pushed the capacity to 24,000. The new facility consists of seven stories, with the bottom four floors dedicated to nearly 400 dorm beds. The top three floors include 33 luxury skyboxes, a new press area, coaches booths, radio and television broadcast facilities, and a game management booth. It is one of the premier football stadiums in the country. • Since Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium opened Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 233-93-8 record at home. Under Crowe, the Gamecocks are 34-16 all-time at home. The stadium underwent renovations in 1976 with the addition of the east end zone and south sideline seats. The fieldhouse also also constructed at the west end zone to enclose the stadium and then in the summer of 2005, the natural playing surface was replaced with Pro-Grass synthetic surface. • Jacksonville State has scored in 100 consecutive games, dating back to a 28-0 shutout by Troy in Jacksonville in 2000. It is the longest active streak among OVC teams. The NCAA Football Championship Subdivision record for consecutive games scoring is 291 held by Hampton; that streak is active entering the 2009 season. • Jacksonville State is the only school in the history of NCAA competition - on any level - to have won National Championships in football (1992), basketball (1985) and baseball (1990, 1991). Only six other NCAA schools have ever won a national championship in basketball and football (Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, North Alabama and Wittenberg).

JACK CROWE HEAD COACH 11TH SEASON (16TH OVERALL) 79-75 CAREER RECORD 65-45 AT JACKSONVILLE STATE Birthdate: Hometown: College:

Jack Crowe begins his 11th season at the helm of the JSU program in 2010. He led the Gamecocks to back-to-back Conference titles in the program’s first two years in the OVC. Last season JSU had the best record in the OVC (6-1) but were ineligible for the playoffs due to APR penalties. The team is once again eligible for the OVC Title and NCAA Playoffs this year.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS • Crowe is the winningest active coach in the Ohio Valley Conference with a 76.4 percent winning percentage in OVC-only games. He has guided the Gamecocks to a seven-year mark of 43-13, while posting the best record in the OVC in 2003, 2004 and 2009. Crowe has guided the Gamecocks to seven consecutive winning seasons, the longest such streak in almost 20 years, as the Gamecocks posted an 8-3 overall record in 2009. • Crowe took over the reins of the Gamecocks program in 2000 when the program was competing in the Southland Football Conference. The program became a member of the OVC in all sports in 2003 and Crowe led JSU to a 7-1 League record and OVC Championship. He repeated the feat the next season, once again amassing a 7-1 OVC mark and capturing the OVC Championship. • Crowe did not play college football, instead he concentrated on baseball at Jefferson State Junior College and later UAB after playing both sports in high school. After graduation, he was the offensive coordinator at Oxford High School, helping the program to a 21-1-1 mark and a 1972 conference title. • Crowe later moved onto the offensive coordinator job at Livingston University, where he later became the head coach. That was followed by offensive coordinator jobs at North Alabama, Wyoming, Auburn, Clemson and Arkansas, before he took over the head coaching job for the Razorbacks in 1991. Between his time at Arkansas and Jacksonville State, Crowe was the offensive coordinator at Baylor (1993-95). Crowe’s teams won a SEC Championship (1983), three Atlantic Coast titles (1986-88) and a Southwest Conference Championship (1994) • In his time at Auburn he helped coach Bo Jackson, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy and became one of the most famous two-sport stars in professional sports. 38

Entering his final year Harris had racked up 1,414 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. • Kienan Cullen was named a first-team All-OVC selection as a punter in 2009 and a second-team All-OVC selection as a kicker.

This season Cullen was tabbed the first-team All-OVC preseason selection at both selections.

• First-year head coach Chris Hatcher has installed his spread offense at Murray State which is known as “The Hatch Attack.” The offense has consistently put up big numbers and led to Hatcher winning 94 total games in 10 seasons as a head coach. • A member of the 2009-10 Murray State men’s basketball team, a squad that won the OVC Championship and topped Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, has joined the football team to complete his final year of eligibility. Georges Fotso, who measures 6’8 and weight 240 pounds, will play defensive end for the Racers this season. He will be one of the players who will look to fill the void left by OVC Defensive Player of the Year Austen Lane, who is now with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fotso played in 22 games with the basketball Racers last season.

TEAM NOTES • Tennessee State returns to the Circle City Classic in Indianapolis for the first time since 2005 this year. The Tigers will match up with North Carolina A&T, a team they have played 24 times over the years including in the 2005 Circle City Classic. This year’s event will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium, the new home of the Indianapolis Colts. Previous Circle City Classic involving TSU were played in the RCA Dome which no longer exists. • The Tigers are fielding their 95th varsity football team this season and are playing in the Ohio Valley Conference for the 23rd season. The Tigers have won 14 Black College National Championships over the years - 1946, 1947, 1954, 1956, 1965, 1966, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1979, 1982. • Tennessee State plays its home games in one of the finest facilities in all the country - LP Field, home of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. With a capacity of 67,800, it is the largest home facility used by a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) team. The 2010 season marks the 12th year of play at LP Field (formerly The Coliseum) for TSU. • Tennessee State has a long history of producing NFL talent, including former All-Pro players Richard Dent (Chicago Bears) and Ed “Too Tall” Jones (Dallas Cowboys). More recent NFL players include Randy Fuller - who played in Super Bowl XXX with Pittsburgh and Super Bowl XXXII with Atlanta - and Anthony Pleasant, who played with New England in both Super Bowl XXXV and XXXVII. In 2008, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was taken by Arizona with the 16th pick of the first round and went on to be a starter at cornerback in Super Bowl XLIII.

Career Record Year School First season

Overall

Conf. (Finish)

Rod Reed was named head coach at Tennessee State on Dec. 18, 2009. He takes over after having spent seven seasons on the Tigers staff, including most recently as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator in 2009. He is currently one of two OVC football coaches (APSU’s Rick Christophel being the other) to be coaching at his alma mater.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

ASSISTANT COACHES

• Prior to being named the 22nd head coach in Tennessee State football history, Reed served as an assistant coach for two years and defensive coordinator for five years on the Tiger staff.

Offensive Coordinator/Wide Receivers: .................. Mike Jones Alma Mater: ................. Tennessee State, 1983 (1st season)

• As a recruiter for the Tigers, Reed was responsible for bringing several key players to campus, including running back Javarris Williams (a seventh round NFL pick in 2009) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (a first round NFL pick in 2008). • Reed got his coaching start at Prairie View A&M in 1991, and followed that up with jobs at Bethune-Cookman (1992-96), Seabreeze High School (1996-2000) and East Texas Baptist (200003) where he was the defensive coordinator at the school which is located in his hometown of Marshall, Texas. • Reed was a four-year letterwinner as a linebacker at Tennessee State (1984-88) and concluded his career by being named a Sheridan All-American during his senior season. Along the way he set the TSU record for career tackles (406) and tackles in a season (197); both marks still stand in the Tiger record book. In 1986 Reed led TSU to the second round of the I-AA playoffs and was selected the team’s MVP in each 1987 and 1988. • Reed is the son of the late Robert Reed, Jr., an All-American at Tennessee State in 1963 and 1964 who later went on to play with the Washington Redskins.

TIM BENFORD

Jr. Sr. Jr. So. Jr. So. Jr. Jr. So. Jr. So. Jr. Jr. R-Fr. So. Sr. Jr. Jr. So. Sr. So. Jr. So. Jr. So.

Junior • Wide Receiver 6-1 • 195 • Chattanooga, Tenn. After being named OVC Freshman of the Year, followed that with another successful season in 2009...Played in 10 games, catching 33 passes for 580 yards (17.6 yards/catch) and two touchdowns...Caught at least one pass in every game...Had six catches for 159 yards, including a long of 51 yards, in the team’s victory at UT Martin on Oct. 10...Two weeks later hauled in five catches for 122 yards and a score in a victory over Tennessee State that locked up the Sgt. York Trophy for the Golden Eagles and also earned him OVC Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors...Had five catches in loss at FBS Georgia on Nov. 7.

CALEB MITCHELL

Sophomore • Defensive Back 6-1 • 190 • Russellville, Ala. As a freshman in 2008, was sidelined with an injury in the second game of the season and received a medical redshirt...Was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week on Nov. 1 after registering 13 tackles (6 solo), 2.5 tackles-for-loss, 2.0 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and two pass breakups in a victory over Tennessee State...Finished the season with 63 tackles (second most on the Tech team), 4.5 tackles-for-loss, 2.0 sacks, two interceptions, five pass break-ups, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

TEAM NOTES • Tennessee Tech won six games in 2009, the team’s highest total and first winning season since 2004 (when the squad was also 6-5). The Golden Eagles’ 6-5 mark was only the third winning season for the TTU program over the past eight seasons. • With a perfect 3-0 record against in-state opponents, Tennessee Tech claimed its first Sgt. York Trophy in the third year of the competition. The trophy is contested among the four OVC schools from the state of Tennessee and went to Tennessee State in each of the first two years of the competition. Tech topped Austin Peay 31-23, UT Martin 35-28 and Tennessee State 20-13 to go undefeated in Sgt. York games. •Offensive guard Slade Adams was named a preseason All-American by Consensus Draft Services (CDS) over the summer. Adams, a sophomore, was the only OVC offensive player named to the first or second team. After spending the 2008 season as a redshirt, Adams (who stands 6’6 and weighs 315 pounds) moved into the Golden Eagle starting lineup last season and was an anchor in the offensive line, starting all 11 games and earning second-team all-OVC honors. Outstanding at both pass protection and run blocking, Adams returns in 2010 for his second season in the lineup. He is a 2007 graduate of Mt. Juliet High School where he was a first-team Class 4A all-state selection.

It will be the first meeting between the two teams from the UT system. The showdown against the Southeastern Conference power marks the second time in the past three years the Skyhawks, a member of the Football Championship Subdivision, have played an SEC Bowl Championship Subdivision team. The Skyhawks played at Auburn in 2008. • Five former UT Martin assistant head coaches were named head coaches after the 2009 season. Among the five were Charlie Stubbs, Cesar Rivas-Sandoval, Todd Berry, Larry Porter and Mike MacIntyre. Stubbs was named the head coach at Nicholls State; Rivas-Sandoval was named the interim successor to Ed Rifilato at Fort Lewis College; Berry, who completed three seasons as the associate head coach and offensive coordinator at UNLV was named the 14th head football coach at Louisiana-Monroe (ULM); Porter, who played at Memphis from 1990-93 and served as a UT Martin assistant on the same staff with former head coach Matt Griffin, was named the 22nd head football coach at the University of Memphis; and MacIntyre, the 2009 American Football Coaches Association Football Bowl Subdivision Assistant Coach of the Year and former Duke University defensive coordinator was named the head coach at San Jose State University. • Fifth-year head coach Jason Simpson welcomes for new members to his coaching staff. The newcomers include Jordon Hankins, a UT Martin alumnus who will coach running backs and serve as the strength and conditioning coach; Nathan Burton, a former Georgia Tech safety who worked under the guidance of defensive master minds Bill Young at Oklahoma State and Jon Tenuta at Georgia Tech, will coach linebackers; Ryan Nielsen, who served as the defensive line coach at Ole Miss under Ed Orgeron and played at the University of Southern Cal, will coach the defensive line and serve as the special teams coordinator; and Mac Bryan, who has 19 years of collegiate coaching experience at Chattanooga, Pikeville, Newberry, Lees McRae, and Southern Miss, will coach the offensive line and serve as the Skyhawks offensive coordinator.

Jason Simpson, who enters his fifth year with the program in 2010, was the choice for the 2006 Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. That year - his first with the program - he led the Skyhawks to their first OVC Championship and first NCAA FCS Playoff berth.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

ASSISTANT COACHES

• In his first three years at UT Martin Simpson won 21 games, which was the highest three-year win total in school history.

Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line: ....................... Mac Bryan Alma Mater: ............... Appalachian State, 1982 (1st season)

• In his first season as a head coach (2006), Simpson led UT Martin to its best season of football at the FCS level and was named OVC Coach of the Year for his efforts. The Skyhawks won nine games overall (the most since winning 11 in 1988 when the team competed at the Division II level), shared its first Ohio Valley Conference Championship and advanced to the FCS Playoffs for the first time in school history. It was only the team’s third .500 or better record since the move up from Division II.

Asst. Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator: ............ Chris Boone Alma Mater: ..................... Southern Miss, 1997 (5th season)

• Simpson came to UTM after three seasons at Chattanooga as that program’s offensive coordinator. At UTC, he helped the Mocs to a 6-5 record in 2006, the program’s first winning season since 1997. There he coached quarterback Cedric Stevens, who threw for more than 3,100 yards and had a 66 percent completion percentage. He also coached Alonzo Nix, who set the Southern Conference record for receptions (90) on his way to All-America honors. • Simpson got his start at Delta State (1994-95) serving as the defensive backs coach for two years before moving onto Jacksonville State (1997-99). At JSU he was a member of the staff that was responsible for the third best turnaround in Division I football for the 1997 and 1998 seasons. That was followed by one year at Blinn Junior College (2000) and four seasons as quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Texas State (2000-03). • Simpson played two seasons of college football at Mississippi State, where he was also a member of the baseball team. He then transferred to Southern Miss, where he was a two-time all-conference pick on the diamond and a team captain. 68

SGT. YORK TROPHY In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University. The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home with it thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor. Following the war York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927 he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and

girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today. York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor. After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the institution with the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie, the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy. The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the O’Charley’s Dinner of Champions, which is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was created in 1999 and salutes amateur and professional sports in Tennessee.

OVC/NCAA OVERTIME PROCEDURES PROCEDURE FOLLOWING REGULATION PLAY: Immediately following the conclusion of the fourth quarter, officials will instruct both teams to retire to their respective team areas. The officials will escort the captains to the center of the field for the coin toss. The winner of the toss shall be given the option of selecting offense or defense, with the offense at the opponent’s 25-yard line to start the series, or which end of the field shall be used for both series of that overtime period. The winner of the toss may not defer his choice. The loser of the toss shall have the first choice of the two options for subsequent even-numbered extra periods. EXTRA PERIODS: An extra period shall consist of two series with Team A and Team B each putting the ball in play by snap at the designated 25-yard line, which becomes the opponent’s 25-yard line. TEAM SERIES: Each team retains the ball during a series until it scores or fails to make a first down. The ball remains alive after a change of team possession until it is declared dead. However, Team A may not have a first and 10 if it again possesses the ball after a change of team possession. SCORING: The team scoring the greater number of points during the regulation and extra periods shall be declared the winner. There shall be an equal number of series, as defined, in each extra period, except if Team B scores during a period other than on the try (i.e.: on the first possession of a period, Team A scores a touchdown. On the try, Team B intercepts a pass and returns it for a two-point touchdown. Ruling: Team B is awarded the ball on the 25yard line to start its series with the overtime score 6-2.). Beginning with the third extra period, teams scoring a touchdown must attempt a two-point try. A one-point try, although not illegal, will not score a point. TIMEOUTS: Each team shall be allowed one timeout for each extra period. Unused extra-period timeouts may not be carried over to other extra periods.
