FCS PLAYOFFS/OVC TIEBREAKER The participants in the 2018 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) Playoffs will be announced on Sunday, Nov. 18.

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.

2 • 2018 Ohio Valley Conference Football Media Guide

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.

2018 Ohio Valley Conference Football Media Guide • 3

Now in its 71st 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 17 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 70 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 and Jacksonville State have claimed seven football crowns apiece, 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 21 FCS playoff appearances are the second 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. In 2016 former Murray State head coach Frank Beamer (1981-86) was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame; he introduced his wide tackle six defense to the OVC and compiled a 43-23-2 record with the Racers before leaving for his alma mater Virginia Tech where he won 280 games

in 29 seasons.

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 RodgersCromartie 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 90 NCAA national championships) as opposed to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) which competes in an effort to participate in the postseason bowl system (the 40 NCAA-licensed events which includes the College Football Playoff).

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).

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). Garoppolo was a part of Patriots teams that won Super Bowls in 2015 and 2017.

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 Jacksonville 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.

In 2015 Jacksonville State ascended to No. 1 in both major Top 25 polls, becoming the first OVC team to be ranked No. 1 since the 1999 season. The Gamecocks would go on to complete its second-straight 8-0 Conference mark and won three playoff games to become the first OVC team to advance to the Division I National Championship Game since 1982 (Eastern Kentucky). JSU lost to North Dakota State in the title game but finished the year 13-2 overall and ranked No. 2 in the final Top 25 polls. Head coach John Grass became the first OVC coach honored as the AFCA National Coach of the Year while quarterback Eli Jenkins was named the FCS ADA National Quarterback of the Year, finishing the year with 2,788 passing and 1,161 rushing yards (one of just three Division I quarterbacks – FBS or FCS - to achieve those numbers during the year).

Jenkins would conclude his career in 2016 with 3,796 rushing yards, the seventhmost ever by a FCS quarterback. Jenkins, who was named OVC Male Athlete of the Year in back-to-back seasons, capped his career with 11,448 yards of total offense, second-most in OVC history (behind only Garoppolo).

In 2017, Jacksonville State senior defensive end Darius Jackson became the first OVC player to win the Buck Buchanan Award, given to the FCS National Defensive Player of the Year. Jackson tallied 51 tackles, 19.0 tackles-for-loss, 7.0 sacks, 19 quarterback

hurries, 3 forced fumbles and 2 fumbles recoveries in 11 regular season games 2017 also saw the third OVC coach named the winner of the Eddie Robinson Award as the FCS National Coach of the Year. The honor went to Austin Peay second-year coach Will Healy who orchestrated a tremendous turnaround for the Govs program. After going 0-11 during his initial season and starting 2017 with back-to-back losses to FBS opponents, the team’s losing streak had reached 29 games and overall the team had won just one of its previous 48 games overall. But a win during week three catapulted the team to an 8-4 record and 7-1 OVC record and second-place league finish. The eight wins matched the school record, while the seven Conference wins established a new school record. Along the way the team snapped a 21-game OVC losing streak and a 45-game road losing streak and finished the year with four road victories, which was more than the program won in the previous nine years combined.

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.

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 70 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) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois), 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 players Kenneth Faried (Morehead State) and Robert Covington (Tennessee State), football player 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 275 student-athletes honored with the award, including 81 over the last eight years (2010-18).

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, 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.

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 studentathletes, 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

OVC HALL OF FAME

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.

16 • 2018 Ohio Valley Conference Football Media Guide

Let’s Get It Started: The 71st season of Ohio Valley Conference football will get underway earlier than usual this season as Jacksonville State plays in the Guardian Credit Union Kickoff Classic which will take place in Week Zero on Saturday, August 25. Three other OVC teams will play on Thursday, August 30 while the final five teams will play on Saturday, September 1. The OVC is made up of nine football-playing schools in 2018. Since its beginning, 15 of the 18 total schools that have played football in the league have claimed at least one championship.

Recent Playoff Success: Beginning with the 2001 season the OVC went until 2013 without a FCS Playoff victory. But over the past four seasons OVC teams have performed well in the playoffs. In 2013 the OVC placed three teams in the field for the first time and each won at least one game with Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville State advancing to the quarterfinals (the first time that had happened in the league since 1991). Two years ago Jacksonville State (who during that year became the first OVC team ranked No. 1 in the Top 25 since 1999) won three playoff games to become the first OVC team to advance to the National Championship game since 1982. Along the way JSU set an OVC record for points in a playoff game with 58 against Charleston Southern in the quarterfinals, and then broke the record a week later in a 62-10 victory over Sam Houston State in the semifinals.

The FCS Playoffs: In 2010 the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoff field expanded to 20 teams, up from 16 previously, and in 2013 the field increased to 24 for the first time. The expansion in 2010 to 20 teams was the first since the field grew from 12 to 16 teams in 1997. The 24-team field is comprised of 10 automatic bids and 14 at-large berths. There are eight first round matchups (16 total teams), while eight (8) teams receive a bye into the second round. For the eighth time in 2017, the championship game will be played in Frisco, Texas at Toyota Stadium, a 20,500-seat multi-purpose stadium. The Southland Conference will serve as the host of the championship, which will be held on Saturday, January 5.

National Award Winners: A year ago the OVC had both the Buck Buchanan Award winner (given to the National Defensive Player of the Year) and the Eddie Robinson Award (given to the National Coach of the Year) by STATS. The Buchanan Award went to Jacksonville State senior Darius Jackson, who received 29 first-place votes and tallied 304 points, one better than second place. Jackson was the first OVC player to win the Buchanan Award, which started in 1995, and finished the year with 55 tackles, 20.5 tackles-for-loss, 7.0 sacks and 20 quarterback hurries.

Austin Peay head coach Will Healy became the first OVC coach to take home the Robinson Award, after leading the Governors to one of the best seasons in school history. During the season APSU snapped a 29-game losing streak, a 21-game OVC losing streak, a 45-game road losing streak while tying the school record for total wins (8) and establishing the school mark for Conference wins (7).

League Shifts From Offense to Defense: At the end of the 2017 season, three OVC teams ranked in the top seven nationally in total defense: Jacksonville State (2nd), UT Martin (6th) and Tennessee State (7th). In the previous five years there have never been more than two OVC teams rank in the Top 25 in total defense at the end of the season. On the flip side, only one team (Austin Peay) finished in the Top 50 nationally in total offense (49th) during the 2017 campaign.

Sgt. York Trophy Presented by Delta Dental of Tennessee: Beginning in 2014 Delta Dental of Tennessee became the presenting sponsor of the Sgt. York Trophy.

The trophy (founded in 2007 by the Nashville Sports Council and OVC) goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four OVC footballplaying schools located in the state of Tennessee (Austin Peay, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin). 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.

The OVC vs. the FBS: In five of the past six and six of the past eight seasons, an OVC team has knocked off a team from the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

That included Tennessee State besting Georgia State in 2017. OVC teams are 35-225-1 all-time against FBS opponents with 10 games on the 2018 schedule.

A Look at the Coaches: Eight of the nine OVC coaches from last season return to their respective teams in 2018. Jacksonville State’s John Grass and Tennessee State’s Rod Reed are currently the only two OVC coaches who are coaching at their alma mater. The longest tenured coach in the league is UT Martin’s Jason Simpson who enters his 13th season with the Skyhawks in 2018; Simpson is the seventh-winningest coach in OVC history (78 total victories) and can move up to seventh with one more victory.

Preseason Forecasts: Jacksonville State has been tabbed the favorite heading into the 2018 season. Is being picked first in the preseason poll necessarily a good thing? In the past 39 years of preseason polls (all that were available), the preseason predicted champion has only gone on to win the OVC Championship 18 times (46.2%). Six times in the last 10 years the preseason favorite has gone on to win the OVC Championship (including each of the past five years).

TEAM NOTES • Eastern Illinois will have a battle in fall camp for the starting quarterback spot as redshirt sophomore Scotty Gilkey Jr., started five games last season. The Panthers installed a new offensive system in the spring bringing in the “Air Raid” and two transfer quarterbacks – Johnathan Brantley (Tulane Univ.) and Harry Woodbery (Navarro JC).

• Eastern Illinois head coach Kim Dameron has put together three straight winning seasons after the Panthers went 6-5 last season. EIU will be looking to put together four straight winning seasons for the first time since Bob Spoo coached the Panthers to five straight winning campaigns from 1994-98.

• The Panthers lost five All-Ohio Valley Conference starters to graduation last season but do return six starters on offense and six starters on defense. EIU does return a veteran team ready to step into those roles as eight additional players started at least one game last season.

• EIU opens the season at Arkansas on Sept. 1 as the Panthers will play head coach Kim Dameron’s alma mater. It will mark the first time that EIU has played a member of the Southeastern Conference. EIU previously played current SEC member Missouri when the Tigers where a member of the Big 12 Conference.

TEAM NOTES • EKU has made 21 NCAA FCS playoff appearances, the second most in FCS history behind only Montana (23).

• The Colonels ended the 2017 season with three wins in five games, but would have had a five-game winning streak if not for two close losses. Eastern took a sevenpoint lead at Eastern Illinois (Nov. 4) with 32 seconds left in the game. However, EIU scored the tying touchdown and extra-point with 1.9 seconds left on the clock and then won in overtime. EKU had a 24-7 third quarter lead against Austin Peay (Nov. 11) before the Governors came back to win by seven.

• Mark Elder engineered three straight top-25 rated recruiting classes, re-stocking the Colonel roster with a talented young core. Despite having less than two months to put together his first class, after being hired in mid-December, Eastern’s 2016 class was ranked as the 23rd best in the nation. Elder’s second recruiting class was rated as the 14th best and his 2018 class was 11th in the nation.

• EKU had 59 new players on the team in 2017. Of the 110 players on the roster, 60 were either true freshmen or redshirt freshmen.

• Seven starters on offense and seven starters on defense are expected to return for the 2018 season. Of the 65 positions on the season-ending depth chart, 41 will be back.

• While the defense registered 26 sacks in 2017, the EKU offensive line and quarterbacks only allowed only eight in 11 games. That was first in the conference and the fifth fewest sacks allowed in the nation.

TEAM NOTES • JSU enters the 2018 season having won 31 consecutive OVC games, which is the alltime OVC record (surpassing the previous mark of 26) and the second-longest streak in FCS history (trailing only 39-straight wins by Duquesne in the MAAC from 1999-2006).

• JSU enters the 2018 season having been in the Top 10 of at least one of the two major FCS Polls (STATS and Coaches) for 59 consecutive weeks. The streak dates back to the final poll of the 2014 season and makes JSU one of just two teams (NDSU) to be in the Top 10 in each week during that stretch.

• JSU has placed a total of 68 players on the All-OVC Teams over the past four seasons.

JSU had 18 All-OVC picks in 2014, 17 in both the 2015 and 2016 and 16 a season ago.

• Since JSU Stadium opened in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 276101-8 record at home. Since joining the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003, the Gamecocks are 67-17 for a 79.8 winning percentage and are 49-10 in OVC games during that span.

• Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium, home of the Gamecocks since 1947, finished an 18-month, $47 million expansion that pushed the capacity to 24,000 prior to the 2010 season.

TEAM NOTES • Southeast led the Ohio Valley Conference and ranked sixth in the Football Championship Subdivision with 37 sacks in 2017. The Redhawks also ranked among the top four teams in the OVC in scoring defense (4th, 21.8 ppg allowed), rushing offense (4th, 137.7 ypg), kickoff returns (3rd, 22.8 ypr), punt return average (3rd, 10.1 ypr), sacks allowed (3rd, 14), fourth-down conversions (3rd, 50 percent), turnover margin (t2nd, +3) and red zone defense (4th, 75 percent).

• One of those players who helped rack up the sacks last year was outside linebacker Kendall Donnerson. Donnerson was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, becoming the first Southeast player to get drafted in 14 years.

• The Redhawks return four of their top five receivers from 2017. Kristian Wilkerson led the team in receptions (52), receiving yards (553), receiving touchdowns (5) and receiving yards per game (55.3). Zack Smith ranked third on the team with 20 catches for 253 yards and three touchdowns. Marquis Terry and Eric Williams were fourth and fifth on the team in receptions with 20 and 15, respectively. Wilkerson ranked third in the Ohio Valley Conference in receptions per game (5.2) and seventh in receiving yards per contest.

• Winning close games is a big emphasis for the Southeast football team in 2018. The Redhawks lost five games by a combined 17 points last season. Four of those losses were by three points or less. Since 2014, Southeast has dropped 16 contests by seven points or less and took four one-point losses in that stretch. Also, Southeast was either up or down a score in the fourth quarter a total of 16 times before coming up short in those instances in the last three years alone.

TEAM NOTES • The Tigers finished second in the nation in pass defense a year ago, holding opposing teams to 164.5 yards/game through the air. Senior LaQuarius Cook, sophomore Vincent Sellers and junior Dajour Nesbeth return as starters, while junior Neiman Armstrong and junior Shakur Jackson are back again to provide depth. The Tigers will need to replace Terrell Bonds who led the unit with four interceptions • The offense features the top five rushers from a season ago and three of the top four receivers. Sabree Curtis topped the running attack with 439 yards and was followed by Seth Rowland at 421 yards. The offensive attack will look to replace Patrick Smith who led the Tigers in receptions (42), receiving yards (648) and touchdowns. Steven Newbold is the top returning wide out after completing his sophomore season with 34 receptions for 627 yards and four touchdowns while Chris Rowland caught 17 passes in 2017, while DeVon Johnson pulled in 10 passes. Five offensive lineman return to lead the way, including Thomas Burton, Jamahl Jelks, and Chidi Okeke.

• The defense lost seven starters, including all-conference performers Chris Collins, Ebo Ogundeko and Jason Morrow, but the Big Blue does return four of the top six tacklers from a year ago. Senior safety LaQuarius Cook finished second only to Collins in tackles with 61 while senior linebacker Blair Edwards tallied 59 stops, just ahead of sophomore safety Vincent Sellers (49) and junior cornerback Dajour Nesbeth (48). The Tigers have 10 players who saw significant amount of playing time returning, along with four transfers, including defensive end Mekhi Brown (Alabama), to fill the roles of the departed graduates.

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.

Asst. HC/Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks: .......Jeff Parker Alma Mater: ................Bethune-Cookman, 1994 (9th 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 • UT Martin football coach Jason Simpson has been a pillar of consistency in the Ohio Valley Conference since taking over the Skyhawk program prior to the 2006 season. Now entering his 13th season at the helm of the program, Simpson ranks as the longest tenured coach in the league while ranking first among active OVC coaches with 78 wins - sitting seventh in OVC history. He needs three wins to tie TTU’s Don Wade for sixth place all-time. In OVC play alone, Simpson has a career mark of 61-36 through 12 seasons, more than tripling the program’s 20-win total which stretched through 14 seasons before his tenure.

• Since 2013 the Skyhawks have formed one of the best offensive lines in the Ohio Valley Conference, conceding only 50 sacks in 35 games. Additionally, the Skyhawks have allowed the lowest sacks per dropbacks percentage (3.78 percent) in the OVC. In that same span, the UT Martin offensive line has helped the Skyhawks average 426.9 yards of total offense and 29.6 points per outing.

• Although they did not win the Sgt. York Trophy a season ago (the trophy is contested between the four OVC schools from the state of Tennessee), UT Martin has won the title in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Since the competition began in 2007, the Skyhawks are 23-10 in Sgt. York games, the best record among the four teams.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

ASSISTANT COACHES

• Simpson enters the 2018 season with 78 career victories, which ranks him seventh in OVC history. He is beginning his 13th 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/Def. Coordinator: ......... Jordon Hankins Alma Mater: .............................. UT Martin, 2005 (9th season)

• Has a 61-36 OVC record in 12 years; UTM won just 20 Conference games in the 14 seasons prior to Simpson.

• In his first three years at UT Martin Simpson won 21 games, which was the highest three-year win total in school history. He equaled that mark from 2012-14.

• 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). In 2014 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.

In 2015 Jacksonville State became the first OVC team to advance to the Division I National Championship game since 1982 when they took on North Dakota State. The Gamecocks ultimately lost 37-10 to the Bison who won its fifth-straight national title.

In 2016 James Madison claimed its first title since 2004 in knocking off Youngstown State. A year later JMU made it back to the title game but lost to North Dakota State.

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 blocked extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

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.

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.
