FCS PLAYOFFS/OVC TIEBREAKER The participants in the 2015 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) Playoffs will be announced on Sunday, Nov. 22.

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.

N

ow in its 68th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference.

In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 15 years.

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, 2009. 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 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 February 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 athletically-related 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.

After Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women’s athletics began 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 began formulating plans for women’s athletics in 1975 and 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 conference added women’s golf and softball in 1994 and women’s soccer in 1998.

Through the past 67 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns, which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Among OVC teams, former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with 10, and Murray State and former member Western Kentucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed seven football crowns and Jacksonville State has four, while Morehead State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, Southeast Missouri, UT Martin 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; 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 now 21 FCS playoff appearances are the second for the most all-time (behind only Montana’s 23 berths).

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). Following the 2011 season Eastern Illinois head coach Bob Spoo retired after 25 years at the school (the last 16 as members of the OVC).

In his time as an OVC coach he compiled 92 total victories (fifth-most in league history) and 68 OVC wins (fourth-most in league history) and was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2012.

A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans 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 and Jimmy Garoppolo (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 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 (1997-00, 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 89 NCAA national championships) as opposed to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) which competes in an effort to participate in the postseason bowl system (the 41 NCAA-licensed events which includes the Bowl Championship Series).

In 2010 Southeast Missouri State, picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll, compiled a 7-1 Conference record on the way to its first OVC Championship since joining the league in 1991. Overall the Redhawks were 9-2 during the regular season and earned a berth in the FCS Playoffs, its first playoff berth at any level in the program’s 104-year history. Southeast would lose to eventual national champion Eastern Washington in the second round of the playoffs. Head coach Tony Samuel capped the year by winning the Sports Network’s Eddie Robinson Award, given to the National Coach of the Year. Samuel was the second OVC coach to win the award (joining Murray State’s Houston Nutt who won the award in 1995).

For only the second time in league history in 2011, three teams shared the OVC football championship, as Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State and Tennessee Tech finished with 6-2 records. The only other time in league history more than two champions were crowned at the end of the year was 1962 (when four teams shared the crown).

In 2012 Eastern Illinois became just the fourth football team in OVC history to go from worst-to-first in winning the OVC Championship. The Panthers were led by head coach Dino Babers who became just the fourth first-year head coach to win an OVC Championship (joining Boots Donnelly in 1977, Jason Simpson in 2006 and Dean Hood in 2008 – Jacksonville State head coach John Grass would become the fifth coach to achieve that feat in 2014). During the year Eastern Illinois junior wide receiver Erik Lora shattered the FCS single-season receptions record, hauling in 136 passes in 12 games; that mark was 13 more than the previous NCAA record and 44 more than the previous OVC mark.

In 2013 Eastern Illinois repeated as OVC Champions behind Walter Payton Award winner Jimmy Garoppolo. The quarterback became just the second OVC player to earn the National Player of the Year Award, joining former EIU signal caller Tony Romo (2002). Garoppolo passed for 5,050 yards (second most in NCAA single-season history) and 53 touchdowns (fourth in NCAA history) in leading the Panthers to a 12-2 record and berth to the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs.

Garoppolo was drafted by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, becoming just the fifth OVC player selected in that round and just the fifth OVC quarterback ever selected (and first since 1998).

The 2013 season saw the OVC snap a 19-game playoff losing streak dating back to the 2000 season. Tennessee State shutout Butler (marking the first OVC road playoff victory since 1986) to snap the streak while later that day Jack-

sonville State smashed Samford in the first round. A week later Eastern Illinois beat Tennessee State while Jacksonville State won at McNeese State to each advance to the quarterfinals; that marked the first time the OVC put two teams in the quarterfinals in the same season since 1991. Overall the four total playoff wins in the same season established a new OVC record.

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 in the national semifinals. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game.

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 served as the host of the prestigious event, which is one of the biggest sporting events the city of Nashville can host. The event was held April 6 & 8 at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville and was played in front of sold-out crowds for both the semifinals and championship as UConn topped Notre Dame in a battle of undefeated teams to win its ninth national title.

Over its 67 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. Former Morehead State football and Eastern Kentucky track and field athlete Dallas Robinson competed with the U.S. bobsled team during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. 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 Kenneth Faried (Morehead State), football players Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois) and Jimmy Garoppolo (Eastern Illinois) and baseball players A.J. Ellis (Austin Peay) and Shawn Kelley (Austin Peay). 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).

The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard.

The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete 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 242 student-athletes honored with the award, including 50 over the last five years (2010-15).

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.

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, Belmont 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.

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

OVC HALL OF FAME

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.

Beth DeBauche - Commissioner Elizabeth (Beth) DeBauche was named Commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference on July 29, 2009 and began her duties with the league in September 2009.

DeBauche (pronounced De-BUSH) is the seventh full-time Commissioner in the 67-plus year history of the OVC. She follows Art Guepe (1963-75), Paul Dietzel (1975-76), Bob Vanatta (1976-79), Jim Delany (1979-89), Dan Beebe (19892003) and Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher (2003-09).

DeBauche is one of just eight females to be the head of a Division I Conference in 2015-16.

In May 2011 the league announced the addition of Belmont University to the OVC beginning in 2012-13. The addition of Belmont brought the OVC to 12 teams, the largest membership total in league history.

DeBauche served as the Chair of the Nashville Local Organizing Committee (NLOC) for the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four; the OVC served as the host institution of the event held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. It was termed one of the most successful Women’s Final Four’s ever by the NCAA staff, bringing more than 30,000 people to the city and resulting in an estimated economic impact of more than 20 million dollars. It also left a long-term mark on the city and middle Tennessee through a variety of legacy programs.

Under DeBauche the league started an extensive strategic planning and branding initiative which led to the development of the league’s first tagline of “Inspiring Excellence Since 1948.” The project also produced the league’s first 30-second PSA commercial in over a decade as well as a longer feature video highlighting the Conference. The league recently adopted an updated strategic plan that includes goals for the league through 2019.

In October 2013 the League launched OVCExtra.com, a fan-focused blog which features compelling, offbeat, and social media-sourced content from around the league. During the 2014-15 year the blog added a Campus Correspondents program that included students from each member institution contributing material to the blog highlighting each of their campus communities in a creative way.

During the 2012-13 school DeBauche oversaw the switch of the league’s web streaming efforts to a free access model which was rebranded the OVC Digital Network (OVCDN). The new OVCDN included HD video for the first time and was made available on any platform/device. The Digital Network focuses on both athletic competition as well as telling the story of OVC and its member institutions. After seeing extreme growth in viewership in its first year as a free service, the OVCDN has increased its viewership in each of its three years, broadcast over 2,000 events and had a viewership of nearly one million.

In October 2013 the league signed a new five-year agreement with ESPN that runs through the completion of the 2017-18 season and includes a seven-game men’s basketball package as well as an eight-game ESPN3 Game of the Week football package which is done through a partnership with WebStream Sports. DeBauche also secured a deal with the CBS Sports Network to produce a four-game men’s basketball package for the first time in 2013-14.

During the 2014-15 academic year the OVC had the largest national men’s basketball television package in its history with three national partners in ESPN, CBS Sports Network and the American Sports Network (ASN). The package included 19 total games including at least one national appearance for each member institution.

In her time with the league the OVC has seen postseason success in men’s basketball as Murray State topped Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2010, Morehead State beat Louisville in the second round in 2011 and Murray State bested Colorado State in the second round in 2012. Overall the league has won NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games in four of the past seven years, including four-straight years (2009-12) for the first-time in league history. In 2015 the league had a record five men’s basketball programs compete in national postseason tournaments; those five teams combined to win a record eight postseason games. Overall the OVC has had at least one victory in seven-straight postseasons, an all-time league record.

In 2013 the OVC qualified three teams for the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs for the first time in league history, with each of those teams winning at least one game. Overall the OVC recorded a league-record four wins in the postseason and advanced two teams to the quarterfinals in the same season for just the second time in league history.

OVC student-athletes have continued to achieve high levels of success not only on the field but also in the classroom. The league has consistently seen record number of honorees on the OVC Medal of Honor and OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll lists during her tenure. During her tenure 63 OVC student-athletes have been named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.

DeBauche has also sponsored leadership programming for OVC student-athletes and coaches through comprehensive on-campus summits.

In October 2014 the league held its first Health and Safety Summit which was designed to engage team physicians and athletic trainers regarding national and conference issues.

The OVC will hold a second summit in October 2015.

In 2012-13 DeBauche helped spearhead a year-long celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Title IX. As part of the celebration each of the OVC’s 12-member institutions identified a pioneer in women’s athletics and gender equality from their school to be honored during the year and celebrated at a home athletic event on their campus. The celebration was capped in May when those honorees were recognized at a special luncheon as part of the OVC Spring Meetings. Throughout the 2014-15 academic year the OVC celebrated diversity with through the stories of pioneers and leaders from each of our member institutions who paved and continue to pave the way for future generations of student-athletes and administrators.

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. 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.

Preseason Forecasts: Jacksonville State has been tabbed the favorite heading into the

2015 season. But is being picked first in the preseason poll necessarily a good thing? In the past 36 years of preseason polls (all that were available), the preseason predicted champion has only gone on to win the OVC Championship 15 times (41.7%). Only three times in the past 10 years as the preseason favorite gone on to win the OVC Championship; that was in 2011 (when three teams claimed the regular season title including preseason favorite Jacksonville State), 2013 (Eastern Illinois) and last year (Jacksonville State).

ANTONIO TURNER Junior • Linebacker 6-2 • 220 • Louisville, Ky.

Governors leading tackler (81 stops) returns to anchor the linebacking corps in 2015…Also led the team with 7.0 TFL; he shared at least one stop behind the line of scrimmage in each of the Govs last eight games…

Had 10 stops and two tackles for loss against Eastern Kentucky…Followed that with an eight-tackle performance against Mercer that included 1.5 TFL…His 14 tackles (1.5 for loss) against Tennessee State was the most by a Governor in 2014.

OTIS GERRON

Sophomore • Running Back 5-11 • 200 • Burns, Tenn.

Bell-cow back led the Govs in rushing (596 yards on 112 carries) as a freshman…Despite making just four starts, his 5.3 ypc made him a valuable asset all season…54.2 rushing ypg ranked 11th in the OVC…After getting 25 touches in the season’s first five games, exploded with a 15-carry, 196-yard outing at Mercer that included an 89-yard touchdown scamper that was Austin Peay’s longest rush since 2009...Followed that up with an 131-yard performance against Murray State, adding 49 yards on three catches…Slowed by an injury following the UT Martin contest, he bounced back with 114 yards on 24 carries in the finale against Tennessee Tech.

TEAM NOTES • Last season Austin Peay opened the renovated Governors Stadium after an off-season of construction. The stadium was renovated at a cost of $19 million and included club seating, luxury suites and new team locker rooms. The original Governors Stadium was built in 1946.

• In 271 pass attempts in 2014, Austin Peay’s quarterbacks were intercepted just 10 times, the best mark in the Ohio Valley Conference. Austin Peay ballcarriers also lost just nine fumbles in 2014 (also the best mark in the OVC), with the 19 total turnovers marking the second straight season Austin Peay’s offense committed less than 20 turnovers.

• A young Austin Peay receiving corps drew rave reviews in 2014, with freshmen accounting for 57.2 percent (83) of Austin Peay’s receptions and 57.0 percent (841) of the Govs receiving yards. Wesley Thomas led the team with 314 yards receiving, while Malik Boynton’s 25 catches was second-most behind sophomore Rashaan Coleman.

Returning Starters in Bold Key Losses DB Johnathan Shuler 64 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.0 sacks, 2 FF P Ben Campbell 93 punts, 38.6 yards/punt, Long of 70 OC Isaiah Tuiasosopo

• Austin Peay’s offense will need to see some consistency, particularly on third down, in 2015. Last season, the Govs 24.7 percent (45-for-182) third-down conversion mark ranked last in the nation, as did Austin Peay’s 9.7 points per game. The Governors tallied just 147 total first downs last season while giving 301 up to opponents.

• Youth will continue to be served in Cannon’s third season at the helm. A whopping 36 sophomores will be back in Clarksville with a year of experience under their belts - 17 of whom were on the final two-deep of the 2014 regular-season against Tennessee Tech.

They’ll be joined by a swollen 2015 recruiting class that could see as many as 40 new faces on the roster between NLI signers and other newcomers in the fall.

KIRBY CANNON

HEAD COACH 3RD SEASON (14TH OVERALL) 36-109 CAREER RECORD 1-23 AT AUSTIN PEAY Birthdate: Hometown: College: Family:

Kirby Cannon was named the 18th head coach in Austin Peay history on March 18, 2013. Cannon spent three years as an assistant coach following 11 years as head coach at Missouri S&T (formerly Missouri-Rolla).

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS • Prior to being named head coach at Austin Peay, Cannon spent three years as the secondary coach at Central Michigan. At CMU he coached the program’s first defensive back (Jahleel Addaeto) to earn All-MAC first-team honors in more than a decade. His time with the Chippewas was capped in 2012 as the team topped Western Kentucky in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit.

• Prior to CMU, Cannon spent 11 years as head coach at Missouri University of Science & Technology, which is better known as Missouri S&T (the school was previously known as Missouri-Rolla until a name change in 2008).

• In 1999 Cannon took over as head coach at the nearly dormant S&T program that had won just seven games over the previous seven seasons. His rebuilding efforts led to winning seasons in three of his last five seasons, including a 7-4 mark in 2005 which was the first winning season for the program since 1985. For his efforts Cannon was named Independent Football Alliance Coach of the Year as the program was transitioning from the MIAA to the Great Lakes Football Conference.

• Cannon led Missouri S&T teams to victories over Austin Peay in both 2005 and 2006. That 2006 team finished the year 6-5 overall, marking the first back-to-back winning seasons for the program since 1984-85. His 2008 team ranked 12th nationally in total offense (449.5 yards/game).

• Cannon also spent time as an assistant coach at Iowa State (198384), North Central University (1985-88), Truman State (1989-94), Northern Michigan (1995-96) and Western Illinois (1997-98).

• Cannon played quarterback at Missouri State and also starred on the mound for the Bears baseball team. He was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2011.

JALEN WHITLOW

Senior • Quarterback 6-2 • 220 • Montgomery, Ala. In his first season with Eastern Illinois after transferring from FBS Kentucky, Whitlow earned second-team All-OVC and OVC All-Newcomer honors in leading the Panthers offensive attack...Completed 62.9 percent of his passes for 2,075 yards and 15 touchdowns and rushed for 792 yards and 12 rushing scores in 11 games...The 792 rushing yards were the most by an EIU quarterback in a single season...Set school record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 137 against Austin Peay...Ranked 27th in the FCS in total offense and 30th in the FCS in rushing touchdowns in 2014.

KAMU GRUGIER-HILL Senior • Linebacker 6-2 • 215 • Papakolea, Hawaii

Preseason All-OVC selection...Was a first-team AllOVC selection in 2014 after leading his team with 97 tackles (47 solo)...Also added 9.5 tackles-for-loss, 1.5 sacks, three interceptions, three pass breakups, five quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries...Ranked 10th in the OVC in tackles and had three games with double-digit tackles...Was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week on November 2...

Played in all 14 games as a sophomore in 2013 and all 12 games as a freshman in 2012.

TEAM NOTES • Eastern Illinois could feature one of the most potent backfields in the FCS this season with the return of quarterback Jalen Whitlow (792 yards rushing/12 TD) and a healthy Shepard Little (797 yds in 2014, 1,551 yds in 2013). Add to those player’s transfers Korliss Marshall (Arkansas) and Devin Church (Illinois) and EIU could easily exceed its 236.3 yards per game rushing total from last year.

• After having a wide receiver lead the nation in receiving each of the past three seasons (Erik Lora in 2012 & 2013 / Adam Drake in 2014), Eastern Illinois will look for a new pass receiving leader this season. The Panthers return only one player with double figure receptions from last year in junior Anthony Taylor (23 catches for 306 yards).

• An experienced Eastern Illinois defense should be one of the high points for the Panthers this season as they return seven starters from last year with three other players that started at least one game. The unit will be led by senior All-OVC players Dino Fanti, Kamu Grugier-Hill and Jourdan Wickliffe. Scheduled to move to a new position is senior Fedney Delphonse moving from defensive end to the Wolf linebacker slot.

• Eastern Illinois will have the home schedule play in its favor this season as the Panthers will host three of the nation’s preseason Top 25 teams at O’Brien Field. EIU’s home opener is against national runner-up Illinois State on Sept. 19 in the Mid-America Classic. The Panthers also host both of the OVC’s FCS playoff teams from last season with Jacksonville State and Eastern Kentucky both coming to Charleston in November.

• The Panthers could make OVC history this year during the NFL season as former Eastern Illinois quarterbacks and Walter Payton Award winners – Tony Romo and Jimmy Garoppolo – could face each other in fifth week of the season. Garoppolo could get the call for the New England Patriots if a suspension to Tom Brady is upheld at its current four-game sentence.

Senior • Defensive End 6-2 • 215 • Palm Beach, Fla. Preseason All-OVC selection...In 2014 was an All-OVC Second Team pick as well as an OVC All-Newcomer Team selection after transferring from Copiah-Lincoln College...Played in all 12 games, making 24 stops (15 solo) and notching 11.0 tackles for los and 11.5 sacks…Notched five tackles and three sacks against Florida A&M (Sept. 27) and at Murray State (Nov. 22)…

Anchored the OVC’s top total defense (303.2 yards per game) and pass defense (153.3 yards per game)...

Named OVC Defensive Player of the Week (Sept. 28) and Newcomer of the Week (Nov. 23).

BERNELL BROOKS Senior • Defensive Back 6-0 • 183 • New Orleans, La.

Started all 12 games at cornerback a season ago...

Made 23 total tackles (17 solo) and recorded two interceptions...Had a season-high five tackles against Alabama State...Helped the TSU defense rank first in the OVC in total defense and pass defense...Played in all 14 games as a sophomore in 2013, making 21 tackles and netting two interceptions...As a redshirt freshman in 2012 played in nine total games.

TEAM NOTES • As if only returning three starters on defense wasn’t bad enough, the Tigers only welcome back one of their top eight tacklers from 2014. Vann Williams will look to improve in 2015 as he was tied for third on the team with 54 stops a year ago. Nick Thrasher (128), Daniel Fitzpatrick (56), Mike West (54), De’Ante Saunders (51), Ronnie Vinson (48), Detorrius Shipley (46), and Samquan Evans (44) are all gone.

• The Tennessee State offensive line is on a remarkable sack-less streak. Heading into the season, the Tigers have attempted 196 passes without surrendering a sack, a span of four straight games. The last time that a TSU quarterback went down was early in the second quarter way back on October 18, 2014 against UT Martin.

• The Tennessee State defense has prided itself on taking the ball away from its opponents, and the numbers show. TSU is tied for seventh, nationally, in takeaways over the past two seasons. Interestingly, two OVC schools rank ahead of the Tigers in Eastern Illinois and Eastern Kentucky. Sacred Heart leads the bunch with 65.

• Tennessee State has had 114 players selected in the NFL Draft since 1952. Grambling at 119 is the only other FCS team with more picks. In fact, TSU has had more chosen than 48 FBS schools. That list includes Middle Tennessee State, Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati and Rutgers.

Rod Reed was named head coach at Tennessee State on Dec. 18, 2009. He took over after having spent seven seasons on the Tigers staff, including most recently as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator in 2009.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

ASSISTANT COACHES

• In each of his first four seasons at his alma mater, Reed led the Tigers to more wins than the previous season. In 2013 the team won 10 games, including a 31-0 first round playoff victory over Butler.

That marked the first playoff victory for TSU since 1986. It was only the second shutout by an OVC team in the playoffs and first road victory by an OVC team since 1986.

Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks: .......................Jeff Parker Alma Mater: ................Bethune-Cookman, 1994 (6th season)

• 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.

• 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 RodgersCromartie (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 (2000-03) 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.

TEAM NOTES • Head coach Watson Brown reached a milestone in 2013, as he and his brother Mack (formerly at Texas) set the record for most combined Division I victories by brothers. On November 9 the duo broke the previous record of 362 victories by Vince and Bill Dooley (201 by Vince, 161 by Bill). At the conclusion of the 2014 season the Brown’s had 370 wins (238 by Mack and 132 by Watson).

• For the second-straight year the Tennessee Tech football team was honored by the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) for having the “Highest APR in 2013-14 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Now in its 22nd year, the FCS ADA’s mission is to enhance Football Championship Subdivision football.

• Seven of Tech’s top eight rushers from last year return in 2015, but two of them have moved to defense. Isaiah McKinney has moved to rover and Stephen Bush is now at strong safety.

• Tech returns to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2015, facing the University of Houston in the Sept. 5 season opener. The Golden Eagles played an FBS foe (or two) every year from 1978 through 2013, but did not jump up a division in 2014. Instead, even of Tech’s opponents were ranked in the FCS Top 25 at one time or another.

• Tech plays all three of its opponents in the Sgt. York Trophy race at home in 2015. The Golden Eagles host UT Martin in an ESPN3 game on Oct. 3, then wrap up the regular season hosting Austin Peay on Nov. 14 and Tennessee State on the American Sports Network on Nov. 21.

TEAM NOTES • Head coach Jason Simpson has won 58 total games in nine years at UT Martin.

Before Simpson arrived, UT Martin managed just 37 total wins in 14 years (19922005) under the direction of five head coaches. Simpson currently ranks 10th in OVC history in all-time victories and this year becomes one of just 16 coaches in league history to coach 10 or more years at one OVC school.

• Last season UT Martin captured the Sgt. York Trophy which is contested between the four football playing OVC institutions in the state of Tennessee. It marked the third overall championship for the Skyhawks since the series started in 2007 and the second time they were able to take home the trophy (after tiebreakers) and first since 2010. UT Martin is a league-best 16-8 all-time in Sgt. York Trophy series games.

• UT Martin ended last year by winning five of its final six games, with the lone loss coming to No. 1 ranked FBS foe Mississippi State. The team enters this season with a five-game winning streak against OVC foes; that streak marks just the second time in its history the Skyhawks have tallied five consecutive victories against OVC opponents.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

ASSISTANT COACHES

• Simpson enters the 2015 season with 58 career victories, which ranks him 10th in OVC history. He is just two wins away from ninth place. He is beginning his 10th season at UTM, making him one of just 16 coaches in league history to coach 10 or more years at one school.

Associate Head Coach/LB’s/Special Teams: .... Jordon Hankins Alma Mater: .............................. UT Martin, 2005 (6th season)

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

• 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. • 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.

NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP In the first title game played in Frisco, Eastern Washington erased 16-point deficit to beat Delaware 20-19 in January 2011. The entertaining game certainly did not disappoint the 13,000-plus fans who attended the first college football game in Frisco.

A year later, the perfect blend of two passionate fan bases combined with a “local” team making it to the championship game led to a standing-room only crowd of 20,586 to watch North Dakota State beat Sam Houston State 17-6. North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen threw a touchdown pass right after a fake punt and then added a 1-yard run for another score following a long interception return to help the No. 2 seed Bison upset the top-seeded Bearkats, snapping Sam Houston’s 16-game win streak and preventing it from winning its first national championship It was NDSU’s first national championship at the Division I level to go with five Division II titles, the last in 1990.

The 2012 title game was a rematch between the Bison and Bearkats with North Dakota State claiming its second-straight title with a 39-13 victory. The game was played in front of 21,411 fans, including more than 10,000 wearing green and gold. Brock Jensen ran for three touchdowns and Sam Ojuri added two more scores as NDSU broke a 10-10 halftime tie as they outscored SHSU 29-3 in the second half.

In 2013 North Dakota State made it three-straight titles with a convincing 35-7 victory over Towson in front of 19,802 fans. It completed a perfect 15-0 season for the Bison and tied the FCS victory for overall consecutive victories (24). Last year NDSU made it four titles in a row with a dramatic 29-27 victory over Illinois State as Carson Wentz scored from five yards out with 37 seconds remaining to upend the Redbirds who had surged ahead with 1:38 to play.

While the games have no doubt been the highlight, it is a week’s worth of events that have separated the event in Frisco from past championships – not to mention the great Texas hospitality.

The teams arrive in Texas four days before the game starts. They’re greeted by signs and banners around town as well as great crowds at their respective team headquarters. The next day, the teams visit local elementary schools where they are welcomed by students eager to show off their school spirit for their newly adopted college teams. Later that night, the two participating teams gather for the Great Texas Barbecue Bowl that showcase the legendary Texas culture and hospitality. On Friday, teams attend the Champions Luncheon and make last-minute tweaks in game preparation.

The day of the game, fans begin gathering at restaurants and parking lots surrounding Toyota Stadium and take part in Tailgate Town that features quality entertainment and even more Texas sounds, flavors and hospitality.

The local organizing committee, collectively known as Team Frisco consists of the City of Frisco, its Economic Development Corporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hunt Sports Group/Toyota Stadium, the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and Frisco-based Southland Conference.

The Football Championship Subdivision is comprised of the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship - Big Sky, Big South, Colonial Athletic Association, Ivy League, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot League, Pioneer, Southern, Southland and the Southwestern Athletic. The Ivy League, Mid-Eastern Athletic and Southwestern Athletic Conference choose not to participate in the football championship. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high level competition, student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience.

SGT. YORK TROPHY PRESENTED BY DELTA DENTAL OF TENNESSEE 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. Tennessee State has won the most Sgt. York Championships (5).

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 reestablished 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 Pepsi Celebration 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 25-yard 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.
