NCAA Infractions Case Summary On January 12, 2016, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions issued its report detailing findings of NCAA rules violations involving a former University of Louisiana at Lafayette assistant football coach. The Committee’s infractions report concluded a nearly two-year collaborative investigation by the University and NCAA enforcement staff. The Committee found that over a period of three years, the former assistant coach arranged for several prospective football student-athletes to obtain fraudulent entrance exam scores, and that he provided impermissible cash inducements to a prospect who eventually enrolled at the University. The former assistant coach was also cited for unethical conduct and failing to cooperate in the investigation. The Committee commended the University for its “exemplary cooperation” in the investigation, and there was no finding of a failure to monitor or a lack of institutional control against the University. In the University’s May 2015 Response to the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations, it self-imposed a series of penalties and corrective actions, which included vacating the 2011 football season, reducing football recruiting activities for a period of two years and reducing football scholarships over a period of three years. By way of the infractions report, the Committee on Infractions adopted the University’s self-imposed penalties – including the two-year probationary period – and further required that the University add an additional year of recruiting restrictions, vacate contests from the 2012-2014 seasons in which student-athletes competed while ineligible and submit a $5,000 fine to the NCAA. The Committee also imposed a series of reporting requirements during the period of probation (January 12, 2016 – January 11, 2018). The penalties did not include a postseason ban. For his role in the violations and failure to cooperate in the investigation, the former assistant coach received an eight-year show cause order.

Fans have flocked to home games during Hudspeth’s tenure, turning Cajun Field and its surrounding areas into one of the best atmospheres in the nation. In three of Hudspeth’s first five seasons, Louisiana has paced the league in average attendance while posting the three-highest single-season averages in school history. During Hudspeth’s first year in 2011, a record average of 29,171 fans (a nearly 12,000 fan increase) passed through the turnstiles at Cajun Field, with nearly 155,000 fans – the most since 1976 – passing through in 2014. Eight of the top 15 single-game attendance marks at Cajun Field have come under Hudspeth’s watch, with 2016 games against Boise State and McNeese State expected to add to the list. Since Hudspeth’s arrival in Lafayette, 33 players have been named to the All-Sun Belt Conference team with running back Elijah McGuire being selected as both the league’s Player and Offensive Player of the Year in 2014. Two players - Alonzo Harris (2011) and McGuire (2013) – were each named as the league’s Freshman of the Year, while McGuire earned Freshman All-America honors after a solid inaugural campaign in 2013.

Mark Hudspeth has coached a combined 33 All-Sun Belt Conference first- and second-team performers since 2011.
Hudspeth has come in the classroom, where the Ragin’ Cajuns have put up stellar numbers. During the past two seasons, Louisiana has claimed the Sun Belt Team GPA award, posting a 2.81 team GPA during the 2014-15 academic year. During the past nine semesters, the Ragin’ Cajuns have recorded a team GPA of 2.6 or higher with 52 percent of the student-athletes on the roster earning a 3.0 GPA or above. The Cajuns success in the classroom was evident during the Fall 2014 semester as the team posted the highest semester grade point average (2.923) in school history, and the then-sixth consecutive semester of earning a team GPA of 2.6 or better. Sixty-five student-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA during the semester with six earning a perfect 4.0 and 11 earning their degree. The NFL has also paid attention to what is happening with the Ragin’ Cajuns as numerous players have made their way onto active rosters. In 2011, Dwight Bentley (Detroit) and Ladarius Green (San Diego) were selected in the NFL Draft. In 2012, seven Cajuns seniors earned invitations to NFL preseason camps while five former Cajuns earned spots after the 2013 campaign. After concluding a stellar career with the Ragin’ Cajuns, linebacker Justin Anderson signed a free agent contract with the New York Giants and made the active roster during the 2014 season. After finishing a career in which he set the single-season record for sacks, defensive tackle Christian Ringo was selected in the sixth round by the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft. Fellow defensive lineman Justin Hamilton (Buffalo), running back Alonzo Harris (Green Bay) and offensive lineman Daniel Quave (Dallas) all inked free agent contracts to add to the Ragin’ Cajuns presence in the NFL. The Ragin’ Cajuns continued to send player to the NFL as Jamal Robinson (Jacksonville), Dominique Tovell (New Orleans) and Donovan Williams (Chicago) all inked deals. From the day he arrived on campus, Hudspeth

began educating the Ragin’ Cajuns on how to win on a consistent level. Inheriting a team that was coming off a 3-9 record in 2010, Hudspeth provided one of the first lessons to his team when he had the offense and defense engage in an old-fashioned tug of war. As the rope went back and forth with neither team generating enough force to win the battle, Hudspeth stopped the Cajuns and had both teams move to the same side of the rope, pointing out how much easier it is to move the rope when everyone was on the same side and fighting for the same thing. A 23-year coaching veteran, Hudspeth carries an 84-45 career record in 12 seasons as a collegiate head coach, winning 10 or more games five times and leading his teams to a combined seven postseason appearances. Hudspeth, 47, came to Lafayette after serving as the passing game coordinator at Mississippi State for two seasons (2009-10), helping the Bulldogs end eight years of football frustrations by making a Gator Bowl appearance in his final season. After three years as an assistant coach at Delta State (1999-2000) and Navy (2001), Hudspeth took over as head coach at North Alabama and the winning quickly commenced. He guided the Lions to a 66-21 record in seven seasons (2002-08), winning two Gulf South Conference titles and making five appearances in the NCAA Division II Championship, advancing to the semi-finals three times (2003, 2005, 2008). Inheriting a program that had three consecutive losing records, Hudspeth turned things around quickly, helping UNA to a 13-1 record in just his second season (2003). UNA claimed the league title with a perfect 9-0 mark and advanced to the NCAA Championship for the first time in seven years, defeating Southern Arkansas and Carson-Newman before falling at North Dakota in the national semifinals. For his effort, Hudspeth was named the Gulf South Coach of the Year while also being voted the

A great motivator, Mark Hudspeth quickly turned the Ragin’ Cajuns into a consistent winner upon his arrival in 2011.
NCAA Division II Region 2 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. The winning didn’t stop there as the Lions went 11-3 and advanced to the NCAA semis in 2005, the first of four straight 10-win campaigns. UNA went 11-1 in 2006, including 8-0 in league play to claim its second Gulf South title, with Hudspeth earning his second coach of the year award while also being selected as the NCAA Division II Region 2 Coach of the Year again. The Lions followed that up with a 10-2 record and an appearance in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals in 2007. Hudspeth capped off his tenure at North Alabama by guiding the Lions to a 12-2 record in 2008 and making their fourth straight NCAA appearance, falling in the semifinals. A native of Louisville, Miss., Hudspeth grew up in a town with a population of just 7,000, and quickly became one of the towns’ most notable young men, along with current NCAA head coaches Andy Kennedy (Ole Miss men’s basketball) and Matthew Mitchell (Kentucky women’s basketball). Success came early to Hudspeth at Winston Academy as he helped the Patriots to the state title game as a senior in football 1987. He went on to earn all-county honors three times and play in the Mississippi High School All-Star game as a senior. He lettered four seasons at Delta State, working his way up from the scout team to earning a starting job as both a safety (1990) and quarterback (1991). After graduating from Delta State with a degree in health and education in 1992, Hudspeth began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Central Arkansas, receiving his master’s degree in secondary school administration in 1993. While at UCA, he was part of the coaching

staff that guided the squad to the 1992 Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference crown. Hudspeth earned his first full-time coaching position when he went to Nicholls State, coaching the wide receivers and tight ends in 1994 before switching to running backs in 1995. Hudspeth returned to his high school alma mater in 1996, leading Winston Academy from a program what produced one win in the previous two seasons to a 25-1 record in his two seasons and the 1997 Mississippi Private School Association Class A state title.
He returned to the collegiate ranks in 1999, serving as offensive coordinator at Delta State for two seasons and helping lead the Statesmen to the 2000 NCAA Division II national title. He moved to Annapolis to serve as offensive coordinator at Navy in 2001 before earning his first collegiate head coaching job at North Alabama the following year. Hudspeth is married to the former Tyla McConnell and is the father of three sons: Gunner (a redshirt freshman quarterback for the Ragin’ Cajuns), Major and Captain, and one daughter, Carley.

Reed Stringer is entering his sixth season as assistant head coach and tight ends coach on the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns staff. He also served as the Ragin Cajuns recruiting coordinator the previous five seasons, relinquishing that duty for 2016 to focus more on assisting Coach Hudspeth with the daily operations of the football program. Stringer, who serves as the Sun Belt Conference’s representative on the AFCA Division I assistant coaches committee, has helped the Ragin Cajun offense set multiple school records during his five years at Louisiana. The Cajuns set school records for total offense (5,914 yards) and points (461) in 2012 as well set program records for total first downs (283) and total plays from scrimmage (883) in 2013. In 2014, the Tight End group was instrumental in helping the offense finish 22nd in the nation in rushing averaging 225.9 yards per game and finishing 10th in the nation in red zone scoring offense, converting at a 91.2 percent success rate. Stringer has also developed and mentored one of the most consistent and high achieving units on the Ragin Cajun squad with three different tight ends earning all-conference honors in five years. Beginning in 2011, Stringer assisted Ladarius Green in finishing off his career as a three-time All-Sun Belt Conference performer and working his way into a fourth-round draft pick for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers. In 2013, senior Jacob Maxwell earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors and along with Ian Thompson, the duo both received opportunities to play in the National Football League. Lastly in 2014, Larry Pettis’ career came to an end on a high note as he also garnered all-conference recognition as well. Known for being a great evaluator and a relentless recruiter, Stringer’s recruiting efforts have led the way in Louisiana posting four consecutive ninewin seasons for the first time in school history. The Ragin Cajun recruiting classes consistently finished at the top of the Sun Belt conference and among the group of 5 institutions. Stringer, the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Recruiter
35
of the Year by Scout.com, was also recognized in 2009 as one of the SEC’s “Top 10 Recruiters” by Rivals.com for his contributions to Mississippi State’s nationally-ranked class which produced 12 players who signed NFL contracts and included Cincinnati Red’s centerfielder Billy Hamilton and the Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox, who just this summer became the highest paid non QB in NFL history. Stringer’s efforts in overseeing the Ragin Cajun football academic accountability program have also been a plus for the program. On top of being recognized for graduating its players, the Ragin Cajun football squad has won back-to-back SunBelt Academic Conference Championships for its performance in the classroom. Before spending the 2010 season on Dabo Swinney’s staff at Clemson, Stringer spent seven seasons at Mississippi State in a variety of roles. At 25, he became the youngest full-time coach in the SEC when was promoted to tight ends coach on Sylvester Croom’s staff in 2005 and added special teams duties to his resume in 2007. He was also the Director of Recruiting for Dan Mullen’s 2009 staff. A four-year letterman on the Statesmen’s offensive line, he helped DSU claim the 2000 NCAA Division II national championship. Stringer concluded his career with a string of 35 consecutive starting assignments at offensive left tackle. In addition to the 2000 national title, he was also instrumental in helping Delta State win the 1998 and 2000 Gulf South Conference championships. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Delta State in 2001 and completed a master’s in business administration from DSU in 2003. Stringer was born on January 26, 1979 in Canton, Miss. He is married to the former Emily Howell and they have three sons, Smith, Banks, and John Reed.

Jorge Munoz begins his ninth year as an assistant coach at Louisiana and his first as offensive coordinator after serving as the Ragin’ Cajuns receivers coach from 2011-15. Returning to direct the offense for the first time since serving as the Ragin’ Cajuns pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Munoz looks to revive its “Play Station” attack that shattered school records for total offense (5,390 yards) and touchdowns (54) in 2008. He helped former Cajuns QB (and current receivers coach) Michael Desormeaux record the second-most yards of total offense in school history and as a result, Desormeaux was named the 2008 Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Before his promotion to offensive coordinator, Munoz’ work with the Cajuns wide receivers from 2011-15 was exemplary. Despite not having the team’s top receiver - Jamal Robinson - in the lineup for much of the 2014 season due to injury, four players stepped up and caught 30 or more passes each. Running back Elijah McGuire (45 receptions) was the team’s top receiver on the season with James Butler (38), Al Riles (34) and Gabe Fuselier (30) contributing to the Ragin’ Cajuns offense. With Robinson back in the lineup for the 2015 season, four Cajuns caught 30 or more passes on the season, with Robinson grabbing 54 passes and earning first-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors. Riles (46), Fuselier (37) and McGuire (34) each ecliipsed the 30-catch plateau for Louisiana with promising freshman Gary Haynes grabbing 25 passes in his first season. In 2013, Robinson earned second-team AllSun Belt Conference honors after finishing seventh in the league in receptions (54), fifth in receiving yards per game (66.3) while his eight TD receptions were tied for fifth-most in a single season in school history. Javone Lawson (134 catches, 2,107 yards, 15 TDs) and Harry Peoples (122-1,514-6) concluded
36
their careers in 2012 as only the third set of receivers in school history to each have 100 receptions in a career. In 2011, Munoz played an integral role in the Cajuns throwing for over 3,500 yards. Lawson (63 catches, 1,092 yards) posted one of the top seasons by a Louisiana receiver while Peoples and Darryl Surgent also emerged as steady targets for Blaine Gautier. Prior to joining the Louisiana staff, Munoz spent three seasons at Eastern Illinois (2005-07), starting as receivers coach in 2005, co-offensive coordinator in 2006 and offensive coordinator in 2007. During his time with EIU, the Panthers were ranked in the top-25 each season in the Division I FCS rankings and advanced to the FCS Playoffs. Before that he coached at Charleston Southern (2004-05), Anderson College (2001-02) Southeast Missouri (1999-00) and his alma mater, Bethany College (1998) A 1998 graduate, Munoz was a two-time AllAmerican quarterback at Bethany. He played one year in the Arena Football League with the Albany Firebirds. Munoz was a multi-sport standout at San Diego Hilltop High. Munoz and his wife, Erin, have two children, Ava and Alex.

Melvin Smith, who brings nearly two decades of experience coaching in the Southeastern Conference, begins his second season as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. Smith, who mentored current head coach Mark Hudspeth while at Delta State, spent the past two seasons at Auburn, where he helped the Tigers to the 2013 SEC Championship and a berth in the BCS Championship game. During his tenure at Auburn, Smith coached a pair of All-SEC selections, including Jonathan Jones (AP, SEC Coaches) and Jonathon Mincy (SEC Coaches), who were each named to the second team in 2014. In his first season with the Tigers in 2013, Smith was instrumental in the second biggest turnaround in college football history in NCAA records (+8.0 games) while his secondary made one of the most dramatic improvements in production, recording 13 interceptions after recording two in 2012. Among his pupils in 2013 was senior cornerback Chris Davis who was an Associated Press All-SEC second-team selection and made one of the top plays in college football history with a 109-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown in a 34-28 victory over No. 1-ranked Alabama. Before his tenure at Auburn, the Taylorsville, Miss., native spent seven seasons at Mississippi State where he worked with Hudspeth (2009-10) and helped the Bulldogs to a No. 15 ranking in the final 2010 national polls and a berth in the Toyota Gator Bowl. Smith also coached at Alabama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Delta State. During his tenure at Mississippi State, Smith mentored Jonathan Banks, who won the 2012 Jim Thorpe Award, presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back. Banks also earned Walter Camp All-America honors and was a first-team All-SEC selection. Smith tutored a Bulldog defense that had 30 takeaways, which led the SEC and was 12th nationally. Darius Slay, a second-team All-SEC pick, tied
37
for the league lead in interceptions with five, while Banks had four. In 2009, Smith guided a young group that led the SEC with 17 interceptions. Led by thenfreshman Corey Broomfield’s six picks, the corners improved as the season progressed. For his efforts, Broomfield was named Freshman All-SEC. In 2011, Smith continued to tutor Broomfield and Banks, who developed into an All-SEC performer and was named a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. Smith returned to Mississippi State in 2006 after spending time at both Alabama and Texas A&M. In just his second season back at MSU, Smith helped the Bulldogs’ pass defense rank fourth in the SEC, allowing just 182.2 yards per game, sixth in pass efficiency defense (114.8). The Bulldogs improved their interception total from 12 to 15. The 32-year coaching veteran came back to Mississippi State following three seasons at Texas A&M, where he coached the safeties. During his tenure in College Station, Smith helped the Aggies to a 7-4 regular season record in 2004 and a berth in the 2005 Cotton Bowl. Smith coached the safeties at Alabama in 2002, where the Crimson Tide team posted a 10-3 regular season record. He was an assistant football coach at Mississippi State for seven years (1995-2001), helping guide the Bulldogs through the greatest period in the school’s football history. In 2000, three of his four defensive backfield starters signed professional football contracts. That secondary intercepted 19 passes, the second-most in school history. Smith has also coached on the collegiate level in Mississippi at Ole Miss (1992-94) and Delta State (1990-91). He began his coaching career on the high school level at Greenwood (Miss.) from 1982-89. By the time he became an assistant at Delta State in 1990, he joined the Army Reserves for a stint that would eventually last eight years. Smith is married to the former Shelia McLemore and they are the parents of four children, sons Robert and Ricky, and daughters, Deondra and Ashlee.

Harbison, who worked on the same staff with Smith at both Mississippi State (2007-08) and Auburn (2013-14), had previous coaching stops at Clemson (1995-97, 2009-12), Alabama (1998-2000, 2003-06), LSU (2001-02), UTEP (1994) and twice at his alma mater – Gardner-Webb (1984-85, 1992-93). In 2013, Auburn had the second biggest turnaround in college football history in NCAA records at +8.0 games. Named one of nation’s top-25 recruiters by Rivals in 2010, Harbison helped Clemson to backto-back 10-win seasons, including the 2011 ACC Championship, the program’s first in 20 years, and an Orange Bowl appearance. Harbison coached cornerback Coty Sensabaugh, who had 14 passes defended in 2011 and was drafted by the Tennessee Titans. Harbison helped Clemson to a top-25 ranking and the ACC Atlantic Division title in 2009. Clemson had 21 interceptions, fifth-most in Tiger history and tied for fifth-most in the nation. Clemson was seventh in the nation in passing defense. Prior to his tenure at Clemson, Harbison spent two seasons at Mississippi State (2007-08). After just one season, he was elevated to defensive coordinator, while also coaching safeties. He had a pair of coaching stints at Alabama from 1998-2000 and 2003-06. He coached the Crimson Tide wide receivers during his second stint, helping Alabama to a 26-24 overall record, including three bowl berths.

Harbison coached defensive backs in his initial stay from 1998-2000. He helped Alabama to the 1999 Southeastern Conference title and appearances in the 1998 Music City and 2000 Orange Bowls. Two of his pupils, Fernando Bryant (1999) and Tony Dixon (2001) were taken in the first and second rounds of the NFL Draft. Between the Alabama assignments, Harbison coached the defensive backfield at LSU in 2001 and ‘02. He was a member of the Tiger coaching staff that won the 2001 SEC title, finished 18-8 overall and played in the 2002 Sugar and 2003 Cotton Bowls. Corey Webster, who played under Harbison his first two years in Baton Rouge, finished his career second on the school’s all-time pass interception list. Harbison served as the defensive backs coach at Clemson from 1995-97. The Tigers posted a 22-14 mark during those three years, ending those seasons in the Gator and back-to-back Peach Bowls. One of his pupils was nine-time Pro Bowl selection Brian Dawkins. He was an All-American and led the ACC in interceptions in Harbison’s first year at Clemson (1995). Harbison also coached the secondary at UTEP (1994) and served twice at his alma mater, GardnerWebb, coaching wide receivers (1992-93) and defensive backs (1984-85). In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, he worked in both the Arena Football League and the World League of American Football. His pro football coaching resume includes serving as defensive coordinator for the Charlotte Rage (1993). Harbison graduated from Gardner-Webb College in 1995. A two-sport star, he was a free-agent signee of the Buffalo Bills in 1982 and played two seasons (1983-84) with the Boston/New Orleans Breakers of the USFL.

A 29-year collegiate coaching veteran, Mitch Rodrigue begins his sixth season as the run game coordinator and offensive line coach at Louisiana. A native of Thibodaux, La., Rodrigue joined the Cajuns staff after working at South Alabama for three seasons (2008-10). In his tenure in Lafayette, Rodrigue has developed an offensive line that has ranked among the most efficient groups in the country. For the third consecutive year in 2014, all five regulars started all 13 games together, helping Louisiana rank 26th nationally in rushing (204.5 yards per game), and 56th in total offense (416.8). Highlighting the steadiness of the offensive line, brothers Daniel and Mykhael Quave were named to the preseason watch list for Lombardi Award – the only set of brothers named to a national watch list. Daniel Quave, a 2014 All-Sun Belt Conference performer at right guard, concluded his career after starting in all 52 games of his career, one shy of the all-time NCAA career record. Rodrigue’s offensive line unit in 2012 saw a 55-percent increase in rushing from the previous season and after inheriting a line that allowed 39 sacks in 2010, Rodrigue molded a unit that gave up 13 in 2012 to rank 13th in the country. In his career, Rodrigue has worked with schools that have earned a combined 13 bowl invitations. Five of his players have gone on to the National Football League, including Chris Clark (Denver), Jeremy Parquet (Pittsburgh), Ryan McKee (Kansas City), Chris White (Seattle) and Daniel Quave (Dallas). Clark, currently a starter with the Broncos, played in Super Bowl XLVIII while Parquet earned a Super Bowl ring with the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII. Before returning to his home state, Rodrigue was part of South Alabama’s first foray into football. In the program’s inaugural season in 2009, two of Rodrigue’s tight ends played a vital role in helping the Jag offense average 439 yards and nearly 46 points per contest. Prior to his arrival at South Alabama, Rodrigue
39
spent nine seasons at Southern Miss, where he coached the offensive line (2003-07), tight ends (2000-02) and running backs (1999). During his tenure, he was a valuable member of the staff, not only on the field, but also as a recruiter, as he was named one of Rivals.com Top 10 recruiters from a non-BCS conference in 2006. In 2005, Rodrigue guided the offensive line to another strong season, as the offense finished with 4,288 yards of total offense, the sixth-best performance in school history. The offensive line, led by all-Conference USA performers George Batiste and Travis Cooley, only allowed nine sacks that season, ranking 12th in the nation, and did not allow a sack in six games on the year. During his first season leading the USM offensive line (2003), Rodrigue helped the Golden Eagles win their fourth Conference USA title and earn an invitation to the Liberty Bowl despite working with a unit that had lost three starters to the NFL from the previous year. Before taking over as the offensive line coach in 2003, Rodrigue coached the running backs in 1999 and the tight ends from 2000-02. He also assisted with the offensive line during his initial stint at Southern Miss, serving as the program’s graduate assistant in 1989 and 1990 under former head coach Curley Hallman. Rodrigue coached several seasons at Nicholls State (1993-98), serving as tight ends and offensive line coach as well as offensive coordinator during his time at his alma mater. Prior to his coaching stint at Nicholls State, Rodrigue worked for two seasons as an assistant coach at Pearl River (Miss.) Community College (1991-92). Rodrigue played at Nicholls State and helped the Colonels reach the second round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 1986, as well as win the 1984 Gulf Star Conference title. Rodrigue is married to the former Sherri Marcet, and is the father of three children, Maci, Madden, and Mallori.

Mike Lucas, a veteran coach that has included stops at Southeastern Louisiana, Sam Houston State and Northwestern State, begins his second season as linebackers coach for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns and his first as recruiting coordinator. Lucas, in his 37th season as a coach at the collegiate level, was responsible for a linebacking corp in 2015 that included first-team All-Sun Belt performer Dominique Tovell and Otha Peters. Lucas spent the 2014 season at Northwestern State where he served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach under Jay Thomas. In his lone season in Natchitoches, Lucas spearheaded a defensive unit that was fifth nationally among FCS schools in takeaways (30) and saw a pair of defensive backs – Adam Jones and Imoan Claiborne – rank among the national FCS leaders in interceptions. Claiborne, who was invited to play in the 66th Annual Reese’s Senior Bowl after the 2014 season, was a first-team All-Southland Conference selection and was joined by linebacker Marion Chapman. Lucas, the 2009 Louisiana Coach of the Year, was head coach at Southeastern Louisiana from 2007-11 after two seasons as the Lions’ defensive coordinator. He earned a reputation as a dynamic coordinator under legendary coach Ron Randleman from 1987-2001 at Sam Houston State. Lucas spent the 2013 season as the defensive line coach at Indiana State and earlier in his career coached at his alma mater, Liberty, along with William and Mary, UTEP, and Eastern New Mexico. Lucas was defensive coordinator at SLU from 2005-06 before moving into the head coaching post on an interim basis for the last three games of 2006, and was head coach from 2007-11. A tireless recruiter, Lucas’ 2010 class at SLU was ranked No. 1 among FCS schools by Rivals.com with many of the newcomers later contributing to the Lions’ 2013 Southland Conference championship - the school’s first in over 50 years. Under Lucas’ leadership, Southeastern improved its overall record each season from 2006-09 while the Lions, for the first time since their program was restarted in 2003, became highly
42
competitive in the Southland. Southeastern developed a school-record setting offense and a typically tough-to-attack defense guided by Lucas. During his tenure in Hammond, Lucas had 21 players earn All-Southland Conference honors, highlighted by safety Tommy Connors, who was a three-time selection and 2008 All-American. Among the players recruited by Lucas to Southeastern included wide receiver Simmie Yarborough, a four-time All-Southland Conference performer and the 2008 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year, and defensive back Robert Alford, a current member of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At SHSU as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach under Randleman, Lucas coached the Bearkats among the top 15 in FCS stat categories 11 times, and led the Southland Conference in defense five times. Among school records set under Lucas: 52 sacks in 2001, fewest points per game (13.2) in 1991. His SHSU defenses produced 65 All-Southland Conference honors by 41 different players, among them seven who signed NFL contracts and two who were NFL Draft picks. Prior to joining the SHSU staff in 1987, Lucas previously served as defensive coordinator at Eastern New Mexico where his squad led the Lone Star Conference in total defense and scoring defense and ranked third nationally in punt returns. In 1984, he coached wide receivers at UTEP. From 1980 to 1983, he coached the secondary, defensive line and linebackers and assisted in the strength and conditioning program at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.

High School and also lettered in baseball and wrestling. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Liberty in 1982, majoring in physical education and psychology. He and his wife, Wendy, have two sons, Tyler, a former quarterback and 2009 graduate of Cornell University, and Torin, a former catcher and 2012 graduate of Southeastern Louisiana.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Mikel Horton provided the tiebreaking tally on a 12-yard touchdown with 57 seconds remaining as Kentucky held off a second-half rally by the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns and escaped with a 40-33 victory. After an Austin MacGinnis field goal gave UK a 27-7 lead at 9:54 of the third quarter, the Ragin’ Cajuns (0-1) began their comeback. Freshman Stevie Artigue booted a 31-yard field goal – the first of his career – that cut the lead to 27-10 at 6:04. Kentucky answered when Patrick Towles connected with Blake Bone on a 5-yard scoring pass for a 33-10 lead at 3:47. Torrey Pierce, who was playing in his first game since a season-ending injury against Texas State, then took over. The senior took a handoff from Haack and scampered 56 yards to cut the Wildcats lead to 33-17 prior to the end of the quarter. After MacGinnis missed a 46-yard field goal, Pierce slipped past the defense and scored from 26 yards out and Jalen Nixon’s pass to Elijah McGuire on the two-point conversion was good with 11:39 left, trimming the deficit to 33-25. Nixon, who came off the bench and was 4-for-4 for 38 yards on the next drive, would race 23 yards untouched to the end zone and McGuire would convert his second 2-point conversion of the night with 7:36 remaining evening the score. After Horton's TD, the Ragin' Cajuns had an opportunity to tie the game, but Brooks Haack's desperation heave on fourth down at the UL 42 was intercepted at the UK 10. Haack, making his second career start, completed 22 of 32 passes for 194 yards. Pierce gained a career-high 110 yards on the ground for the Ragin' Cajuns while McGuire finished with 86 yards on a career-high 27 carries. Kentucky scored on the game’s first play when Boom Williams, who led UK with 135 yards on the ground, raced 75 yards untouched for a quick 7-0 lead. The Wildcats added a second touchdown two possessions later when Towles connected with Garrett Johnson for a 35yard scoring pass to cap a seven-play, 99-yard drive. Louisiana got on the board with 8:33 remaining in the second quarter when Haack capped a 13-play, 75-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.
LAFAYETTE – Elijah McGuire recorded four of his school-record tying five rushing touchdowns in the first half leading the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (1-1) to a 44-17 victory over Northwestern State at Cajun Field. McGuire’s five rushing TDs matched the record established by Brian Mitchell (vs. Lamar, 1989) and reached by Alonzo Harris (vs. New Mexico State, 2013). The junior running back accumulated 162 rushing yards on 14 carries, the bulk of the team's 360 rushing yards. Brooks Haack completed 7-of-8 passes for 187 yards Devin Scott led all Ragin' Cajuns receivers with 90 yards. Jamal Robinson hauled in two receptions for 68 yards, netting 58 yards on a third-quarter reception that set up Louisiana’s final touchdown. Louisiana received the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards over six plays capped by a seven-yard touchdown run from McGuire at 13:01 for a quick 7-0 lead. After a defensive stop, McGuire scampered 88 yards on the first play of the ensuing drive to open a 14-0 advantage at 9:07. The Demons (0-2) cut the deficit in half at 10:17 of the second quarter on a 41-yard touchdown run by Chris Jones. The Cajuns answered quickly to reclaim a double-digit lead for good. Facing third-and-15 at the NSU 25, Haack scrambled 22 yards to set up a three-yard touchdown run by McGuire to extend the lead to 20-7 at 3:55. A sack by Zach DeGrange pinned the Demons at their own four yard line. After a short punt, McGuire found the end zone for the fourth time in the opening stanza on a 24-yard score that increased the lead to 27-7. NSU converted a fake punt attempt on the opening possession of the second half and reached the UL 25. Blaine Winston sacked Joel Blumenthal for a nine-yard loss that forced NSU into a fourth-and-long play, which led the Demons being stopped short of a first down. Haack quickly put the Ragin' Cajuns into Demons territory with a 48-yard completion to Scott. Torrey Pierce and McGuire combined for six rushes that pushed the Cajuns over the goal line and stretched the lead to 34-10 with 6:16 remaining in the third quarter.

LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns used a 28-point third quarter to break free from a halftime tie and claim a 49-27 victory over Texas State in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams. Louisiana (2-3, 1-0 Sun Belt) won its Sun Belt opener for the eighth straight season. Elijah McGuire piled up a season-high 170 yards on a career-high 28 carries. Jalen Nixon had a career night finishing 22-of-29 for 238 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, including three touchdown tosses. Jamal Robinson posted the fifth multiple-touchdown game of his career hauling in two scores, the latter which proved to be the winning score in the third quarter. Tyler Jones found running back Robert Lowe for a 37-yard score on the Bobcats’ first possession of the contest, capping off a seven-play, 68 yard drive at 9:52 of the first quarter. The Cajuns responded on the ensuing drive, going 75 yards in 10 plays to even the game at 7-7. The Bobcats (1-4, 0-1 Sun Belt) reclaimed the lead early in the second quarter, gaining 65 of the drive’s 78 yards on the ground. Texas State turned three third downs into first downs and converted on fourth-and-two setting up Jones’ 31-yard scamper to the endzone two plays later. After six straight possessions in which the two teams traded defensive stops, the Cajuns drew even at 14-14 just before halftime when Nixon connected with Robinson on a touchdown pass with 35 seconds remaining. After forcing the Bobcats into a three-and-out to start the second half, the Cajuns scored on their first three possessions of the half to pull away. A 12-play, 88-yard drive, capped off by an 18-yard touchdown run by Nixon, increased the lead to 35-14 with 2:31 remaining in the third quarter. The Ragin' Cajuns used a commanding 209-20 edge in total offense in the decisive quarter. Louisiana had the ball for 10:17 with 110 yards rushing. The Bobcats moved back to within two scores at 9:06 of the fourth quarter, but a failed onside kick gave the Cajuns a short field. Following a two-yard touchdown run by Torrey Pierce at 6:39, the Cajuns regained a three-score lead. Texas State Louisiana

JONESBORO, Ark. – Jalen Nixon became the second quarterback in school history to record both 200 yards rushing and passing in a single game, but Arkansas State built a 34-7 lead in the second quarter and held on for a 37-27 victory over the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns in a nationally-televised game. Freddie Knighten tossed second-quarter touchdown passes of two yards to Darion Griswold and 46 yards to Chris Murray as Arkansas State (4-3, 3-0 Sun Belt) gained 435 yards of total offense, including 306 on the ground. Nixon completed 17 of 44 passes for a career-high 253 yards and two TDs while rushing for 201 yards on 19 carries. He joined Brian Mitchell (271 rushing yards and 205 passing yards vs. Colorado State in 1987), as the lone players in Ragin’ Cajuns history to record 200 yards rushing and passing in the same game. Elijah McGuire tied a career-high with 10 receptions for Louisiana (2-4, 1-1 Sun Belt) while setting a career-best with 134 yards receiving. Otha Peters recorded a career-high 11 tackles to lead Louisiana's defense. After Cody Brown gave the Red Wolves a 27-0 lead with a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown, Nixon put the Ragin’ Cajuns on the board when he raced 75 yards for a touchdown with 11:16 remaining in the first half. The Ragin’ Cajuns added a second touchdown late in the second quarter to cut the lead to 34-14 when Nixon engineered a 10-play, 75-yard drive. McGuire capped the drive when he took a handoff from Nixon and raced around left end for an 8-yard TD run with 25 seconds remaining in the half. A‐State increased its lead in the third quarter when J.D. Houston nailed a 42‐yard kick to make the score 37‐14, but the Ragin' Cajuns answered with a quick five play, 72‐yard drive capped by a 17‐yard touchdown pass by Nixon to create a two-possession game at the end of the third quarter. Following an interception, the Ragin’ Cajuns scored seven plays later, but the two‐point conversion failed holding the A‐State lead at 37‐27 with 11:02 remaining. Louisiana held the Red Wolves scoreless on their next two touches, but was stopped on fourth down in its final two possessions, leaving the squad short of completing the rally from the earlier 27-point deficit.

LAFAYETTE – Jamal Robinson finished with a team-high 92 yards receiving, 64 coming on a late touchdown pass from Brooks Haack, as the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns rallied for a soggy 30-24 victory over ULM in the 70th Homecoming Game. Playing in a torrential downpour throughout the game, the Ragin' Cajuns (3-4, 2-1 Sun Belt) began their comeback with a score on the first possession of the second half. A pair of Torrey Pierce runs covering 32 yards put the Cajuns in a goal-line situation and two plays later Elijah McGuire bulldozed his way into the endzone, slicing ULM’s lead to 24-16 at the 10:50 mark of the third. A series of defensive stops ensued until the Cajuns’ special teams came up with blocked punt that was recovered by Montrel Carter at the ULM 16. After failing to get a first down, a roughing the kicker penalty gave the Cajuns new life and they took advantage as Haack later scored on a 13-yard run to make it a 24-22 ballgame. ULM (1-7, 0-4 Sun Belt) maintained the lead after Stevie Artigue missed a 37-yard field with 6:18 remaining, but was unable to move the chains and was forced to give the ball back to the Cajuns with 3:20 to play. On the next play, Haack connected with Robinson on the 64-yard touchdown play. After McGuire scored on a two-point conversion, the Cajuns led 30-24. The Ragin' Cajuns defense made their seventh and final stand of the second half when Mario Osborne forced a fumble on a sack of Garrett Smith, which was recovered by LaDarrus Kidd with 1:38 to play. After ULM called its final two timeouts, McGuire preserved the win running over the right tackle to convert on a third and short. Louisiana's defense limited ULM to five first downs and 106 yards of offense in the decisive second stanza. Dominque Tovell led the charge finishing with 12 tackles (10 solo) and two of the team's five sacks. Haack completed 6-of-11 passes for 85 yards during the rally. The Warhawks laid claim to a 14-3 lead after one quarter of play, getting touchdown receptions by Marcus Green and Ajalen Holley on fourth down plays. The Ragin' Cajuns cut the lead to 14-9 with field goals on their next two possessions, but ULM responded with a quick two-play 60-yard scoring drive on a touchdown catch by Kaylon Watson with 6:14 remaining in the first half.

ATLANTA – Freshman Stevie Artigue kicked three field goals, including a go-ahead 21-yard boot with 6:59 remaining, as the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns defeated Georgia State 23-21 at the Georgia Dome. Brooks Haack completed 18-of-25 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown as Louisiana (4-4, 3-1 Sun Belt) built a 17-7 lead after the first quarter and led 17-14 at halftime. Al Riles caught eight passes for a career-best 103 yards and Elijah McGuire gained 73 yards on 21 carries. The Ragin’ Cajuns took the opening possession and drove 52 yards in nine plays with Artigue’s 40-yard field goal providing a quick 3-0 lead. After Artigue’s ensuing kickoff was touched by a Panther returner and rolled out at the GSU 6, Travis Crawford blocked a Wil Lutz punt that Montrel Carter recovered in the end zone to give Louisiana a 10-0 lead with 8:42 remaining in the first quarter. GSU (2-6, 1-3 Sun Belt) drove 67 yards in seven plays on its next possession as Nick Arbuckle found Keith Rucker on an 8-yard scoring pass at the 6:06 mark. Haack would answer for the Ragin' Cajuns as he directed the offense on a 12-play, 75-yard scoring drive. A Riles 4-yard TD catch gave the Ragin' Cajuns a 17-7 lead prior to the end of the quarter. GSU cut the lead to 17-14 at the half as Rucker hauled in an acrobatic one-handed grab from Arbuckle for a 3-yard TD. Then in the third quarter, Arbuckle found Donovan Harden for a 3-yard scoring pass that gave the Panthers a 21-17 lead at the 5:27 mark. Artigue cut the Panthers lead to 21-20 when he booted a career-long 49-yard field goal with 1:30 remaining the third quarter. The Panthers missed an opportunity for a four-point edge when Lutz missed a 38-yard attempt with 13:29 left to play – his second miss of the day from inside 40. GSU misfired again on its next possession, attempting a fake punt that Ross Duhon stopped. After a penalty the Ragin’ Cajuns took over from the Panthers 23 with 9:50 remaining. Artigue booted his third field goal of the game – a 21-yarder – that put Louisiana ahead 23-21 with 6:59 remaining. The Ragin’ Cajuns would eventually seal the win as Savion Brown picked off Arbuckle at the UL 42 with 1:58 remaining on the clock. Louisiana Georgia State

MOBILE, Ala. – Xavier Johnson rushed for a pair of touchdowns, including the go-ahead score on a 16-yard carry with 3:32 remaining as South Alabama scored 15 points in the final quarter to defeat the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns 32-25 in a nationally-televised Sun Belt Conference game. South Alabama (5-4, 3-2 Sun Belt) built a 24-13 lead in the fourth quarter before Louisiana (4-5, 3-2 Sun Belt) scored a pair of touchdowns in just over two minutes to take its first lead since the game's opening series. Jamal Robinson, who set career-highs with 10 receptions for 188 yards, hauled in a 45-yard TD pass from Brooks Haack with 10:57 remaining, then Savion Brown picked off a Cody Clements pass and raced 85 yards to give the Ragin’ Cajuns a 25-24 lead with 8:26 left to play. But after the Ragin’ Cajuns defense forced USA to punt on its ensuing possession, E.J. May picked off Haack and returned it 11 yards to the UL 16 before Johnson, who rushed for a game-high 118 yards on 23 carries, scored on the following play to give the Jaguars the lead for good. The Jaguars sealed the win after stopping the Ragin’ Cajuns on fourth down on the ensuing possession. Gerald Everett’s leaping 2-yard run on fourth-and-1 at the UL 23 allowed South Alabama to run out the clock. Louisiana scored on its opening possession for the third straight game as it drove 44 yards in six plays. Jalen Nixon scored on an 18-yard run off left tackle at 11:18 for a 6-0 lead. After a three-and-out on its opening drive, South Alabama drove 72 yards on its second drive to take a 7-6 lead at 8:00 of the opening quarter. A 25-yard field goal by Aleem Sunanon gave the Jaguars a 10-6 lead with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter, then Clements connected with Everett for a 10-yard scoring pass with 20 seconds remaining for a 17-6 lead at the break. Elijah McGuire, who was held to a season-low 21 yards on the ground, capped a nine-play, 76-yard drive on the Ragin' Cajuns opening possession of the second half when he scored on a 3-yard carry, trimming the deficit to 17-13. South Alabama extended its lead to 24-13 with 12:51 remaining, but Louisiana came back in a hurry driving 83 yards in five plays to cut the lead to 24-19. Louisiana South Alabama

Appalacian State 28, Louisiana 7
LAFAYETTE – A pair of scores in the final four minutes lifted New Mexico State to a 37-34 win over the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns at Cajun Field. The Aggies (3-7, 3-3 Sun Belt) drew a 34-all tie with 3:59 remaining on an Andrew Allen 23-yard touchdown pass to Gregory Hogan, then the defense forced the Ragin’ Cajuns (4-6, 3-3 Sun Belt) into a three-and-out. Punting from his own 29-yard line, Steven Coutts saw the wind knock down his attempt and the ball roll back to the 34-yard line for a net punt of five yards setting up NMSU with a short field for the eventual winning tally. Larry Rose III rushed for 14 yards, then two plays later Allen completed a pass to Tyrain Taylor to the UL6 which led to Parker Davidson’s 21-yard field goal that completed the Aggies rally. Rodney Butler intercepted a second-down pass by Brooks Haack to prevent the Ragin’ Cajuns from answering and seal the NMSU victory. Trailing or tied after falling behind 20-14 late in the second quarter, Louisiana generated touchdowns on backto-back possessions in the fourth quarter. The latter score was a 31-yard touchdown pass from Haack to Jamal Robinson at 6:27 which gave the Ragin' Cajuns a 34-27 advantage. Haack and Robinson turned in career performances for Louisiana. Haack completed a career-high 24 passes (37 attempts) for a career-high 283 yards while Robinson caught a career-high 12 passes totaling 183 yards. Elijah McGuire netted 159 yards rushing on 18 carries and scored two touchdowns. The junior running back eclipsed 3,000 yards rushing in his career (upped total to 3,056) becoming only the third running back in program history to reach the mark joining Tyrell Fenroy (4,646) and Alonzo Harris (3,330). Rose III grinded out a game-high 191 rushing yards to lead the Aggies. Allen tossed four touchdown passes after replacing starter Nick Jeanty on NMSU’s fourth possession of the game.

Troy 41, Louisiana 17
BOONE, N.C. – Marcus Cox rushed for 78 yards on 22 carries and scored on a pair of first half touchdowns as Appalachian State used a strong defensive effort and defeated the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns 28-7 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Taylor Lamb completed 14-of-21 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown as Appalachian State (9-2, 6-1 Sun Belt) gained 402 yards of total offense while holding Louisiana (4-7, 3-4 Sun Belt) to a season-low 246, including a season-low 42 on the ground. After being forced to punt on eight of its first nine drives, Louisiana scored on its final drive – and avoided the shuout – when redshirt freshman Jordan Davis engineered a 12-play, 75- yard drive. Davis, who completed all seven of his passes for 60 yards, capped the scoring drive when he took a quarterback draw and raced 20 yards for his first career touchdown. The Mountaineers tallied one score in each of the four quarters as they methodically pieced together the win in the first meeting between the two programs in Boone. Cox capped a six-play, 55-yard drive for the Mountaineers when he scored on a 9-yard run with 9:34 remaining in the first quarter. He added his second TD of the game when he scored on a 1-yard run off left tackle with 14:03 remaining in the second quarter. The Ragin' Cajuns defense recorded a pair of takeaways in the second quarter. Travis Crawford scooped up a pitch from Lamb and Chris Prater later knocked the ball loose from receiver Malachi Jones with Taboris Lee recovering at the UL 34. Louisiana threatened to cut into the App State lead in the second quarter after driving to the Mountaineers 11, but Stevie Artigue's 36-yard field goal attempt in the final seconds of the half was blocked by Latrell Gibbs. Jalin Moore, who gained a game-high 104 yards on the ground, gave the Mountaineers a 21-0 lead in the third quarter when his 54-yard touchdown run capped off a four-play, 68yard drive. Lamb connected with Michael Moll on a 2-yard scoring pass at 6:34 of the fourth quarter for App State's final tally of the day. Brooks Haack finished 13-for-22 passing for 128 yards while Jamal Robinson caught a game-high seven passes for 66 yards. Elijah McGuire led Louisiana ground attack with 43 yards rushing on 16 carries. Lee (9 tackles) and Dominique Tovell (8 tackles, 1 TFL) led the Ragin' Cajuns defensive effort.

LAFAYETTE – Brandon Silvers tossed three first-quarter touchdown passes and Troy turned three Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns turnovers into 20 points as the Trojans claimed a 41-17 win in the regular season finale for both teams. Teddy Ruben caught touchdown passes of 15 and 62 yards as Troy (4-8, 3-5 Sun Belt) built a 24-0 lead after the first quarter. The Trojans' final push came with 17 unanswered points in the third quarter after Louisiana (4-8, 3-5 Sun Belt) had trimmed the lead to 24-17 on Elijah McGuire's seven-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Davis. McGuire, who finished with 97 all-purpose yards including 75 yards on the ground, scored on an 18-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to become the third player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season in consecutive years (Tyrell Fenroy, Michael Desormeaux). After the Ragin' Cajuns cut the Trojans lead to 24-17 at 10:51 of the third quarter, Troy answered as Silvers hit Jarvis Bentley for a 67-yard touchdown strike with 8:56 remaining, capping off a four-play drive. The Trojans added 10 more points in the quarter off of Davis fumbles on back-to-back Ragin' Cajuns drives. Jed Solomon booted a 21-yard field and Demetrius Cain returned a Davis fumble 17 yards for a touchdown and a 41-17 lead. Troy forced Louisiana into four turnovers in the game and held the Ragin' Cajuns to 310 yards of total offense. McGuire caught four passes to become the first running back in school history to reach 100 career receptions. With his two touchdowns, McGuire passed Brett Baer into fourth place on the Cajuns all-time points list with 264. Davis entered the game midway through the first quarter in relief of starter Brooks Haack. He completed 20-of-34 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown through the air on the afternoon. Gary Haynes led the Cajuns with 67 yards receiving on a team-high eight catches. Defensively, sophomore safety Travis Crawford tallied a team-high nine tackles (eight unassisted). Defensive end Chris Prater, one of 19 seniors honored prior to the game, made seven total tackles and a tackle for loss. Troy Louisiana

Did you kneaux? In 2003, UL became the first school in NCAA history to score two TD’s in one season on blocked field goal returns. Britt Jackson’s 30-yard interception return for a TD with 6:30 left in the game helped the Cajuns upset #25 Texas A&M on Sept. 14, 1996 by a final score of 29-22. The defense had four INT’s and recovered four fumbles that day. Thomas King attempted the first defensive extra point return in NCAA history (6 yards on 9/3/88).

2016 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL 1944 Oil Bowl
1970 Grantland Rice Bowl
Louisiana 24, Arkansas A&M 7
Tennessee St. 26, Louisiana 25
Jan. 1, 1944 | Houston, Texas
HOUSTON — What many consider to be “The Best Team in Louisiana History”, Louisiana (then known as Southwestern Louisiana Institute) defeated Arkansas A&M (the present-day University of Arkansas at Monticello) 24-7 to claim the 1944 Oil Bowl Championship. The New Year’s Day rematch was played under the same rainy, muddy and foggy conditions as the earlier meeting between the two teams on Nov. 6 in Memphis, Tenn. That game ended in a 20-20 tie. The Cajuns versatile backs and strong offensive line was no match for the Aggies. “I say that no team, and I put the emphasis on Notre Dame, could have beaten us that day,” said Louisiana head coach Louis Whitman. Louisiana-Lafayette was led by quarterback Alvin Dark, who either scored or set-up each of the Cajuns tallies. The Cajuns struck in the first quarter when Dark returned an Aggies punt 24 yards down to the AAM 21 yard-line. Following an offsides penalty and a first down run by Dark, Dark then split the uprights from 16 yards to give the Cajuns a 3-0 lead. Louisiana-Lafayette upped their lead to 10-0 just two possessions later. Moe Richmond made a sensational leaping catch between two defenders for a 12-yard score from Dark. Arkansas A&M moved down to the Cajuns 19 on the next possession, but came away empty handed. AAM’s quarterback needed just two completions to move the Aggies 51 yards, but then threw three consecutive incompletions to turn the ball back over to LouisianaLafayette. The Aggies scored on their first possession of the second half to cut the Cajuns lead to 10-7. A running into the kicker penalty on the Cajuns helped extend the AAM 64-yard drive that ended in a 27 yard touchdown pass from Gray to Bill Coomer.
Dec. 12, 1970 | Baton Rouge, La.
BATON ROUGE, La. — The Ragin’ Cajuns, appearing in their second bowl in school history, fell victim to turnovers and special teams miscues en route to a 26-25 loss to the Tennessee State University Tigers. Tennessee State scored two touchdowns in 1:28 to take a 14-0 lead after one quarter. Louisiana responded with two touchdowns in the second quarter. Nelson Schexnayder hauled in a seven-yard touchdown pass from George Coussan, but Roy Pendergraft’s extra point was blocked. Robert Gill scored on a four yard run just 3:46 later, but Coussan’s pass to Dickie Haik was broken-up, and the Cajuns trailed 14-12 at the half. A scoreless third quarter led to a frenzy of activity in the fourth stanza. Schexnayder caught his second touchdown of the game on a 17-yard toss from Coussan with 8:57 remaining in the game. Pendergraft’s extra point gave the Cajuns a 19-14 lead. The ensuing kickoff was fumbled by J. Thaxton into the end zone where Mike Courville recovered for a Cajuns touchdown. Pendergraft’s extra point was blocked again, giving Louisiana a 25-14 lead. TSU traveled 55 yards on seven plays in 2:45 culminating in a threeyard touchdown scramble by Joe Gilliam. Albert Davis was cut down on the try for two, keeping the score 25-20 in favor of the Cajuns. Coussan’s seventh interception of the game led to a short touchdown run by Davis with 3:22 remaining in the game. The Cajuns comeback hopes were dashed when Tom Hauser’s pass was intercepted by Donald Pinson, his fifth pick of the game and TSU’s eighth. Tennessee State 14 0 0 12 — 26 Louisiana 0 12 0 13 — 25

Broadway, who completed 21-of-32 passes for 316 yards and a touchdown and had 15 rushes for 108 yards, was named New Orleans Bowl MVP. The Cajuns jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter when Broadway and Harry Peoples scored on runs of 12 and 10 yards, respectively. ECU answered with the first of two Reggie Bullock TD runs, a five-yard scamper at the 12:48 mark. Alonzo Harris scored on touchdown runs of six and 68 yards to extend the lead to 28-7 with 7:05 left. A pair of ECU touchdowns just 13 seconds apart closed the gap to 28-21 before Baer closed the half with a 50-yard field goal as time expired. The Pirates ran off 10 straight points to tie the game in the third quarter, the last seven coming on a 13-yard run by Bullock with 5:57 left. The Cajuns answered quickly as Javone Lawson made an acrobatic grab of a 14-yard pass from Broadway with 3:07 left. Baer’s extra-point was blocked as Louisiana led, 37-31. ECU closed to within 37-34 on Warren Harvey’s second field goal of the day, a 26-yard effort with 13:36 left, but the Cajuns defense stiffened, holding the Pirates scoreless in their final three possessions to secure the win.

NEW ORLEANS La. – The old adage, ‘Defense Wins Championships’ was on display in the 14th annual R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns held Nevada in check all game, dominating defensively in a 16-3 win. The three points allowed by Louisiana set a school bowl record, as well as the New Orleans Bowl-record. Nevada’s high-flying offense had not been held without a touchdown since a 35-0 loss at Notre Dame on Sept. 5, 2009. Terrance Broadway finished 26-of-31 passing for 227 yards and was named MVP, becoming the first two-time MVP in New Orleans Bowl history. He completed his first 14 passes setting the record for the most consecutive completions to start a game in NCAA Division I bowl history. Wolfpack quarterback Cody Fajardo, who entered the game averaging 281 yards of total offense per game, was held to 173 yards. The Cajuns scored on the game’s opening possession, driving 77 yards in eight plays. Broadway connected on a 17-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Bates at 11:26 for what proved to be all the offense his team would need. Hunter Stover put the Cajuns up 10-0 late in the first quarter with a 46-yard field – the longest of his collegiate career. After a defensive stop and a short punt by Daniel Cadona, Nevada (7-6) took over at the UL 26-yard line. A 21-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo trimmed the Louisiana lead to 10-3 with 2:42 remaining in the first half. After a scoreless third quarter, Stover tacked on a 30-yard and 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. His final make provided a 16-3 lead with 4:46 remaining in the game. Any chance a late rally by the Wolfpack was halted on the ensuing possession. After a first down at the Nevada 39, Darzil Washington sacked Fajadro for a loss of six yards which led to a failed fourth down conversion at 3:48. Nevada Louisiana

2016 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL Cajun Field has served as the home of Ragin’ Cajuns football since September 1971. Louisiana holds a 123-105-2 all-time record on its home field with winning records in 30 of the 45 seasons. The Cajuns have set the school single season records for total attendance (145,854) and average attendance (29,171) since head coach Mark Hudspeth took over the helm in 2011. Included in those totals were five of the top 15 crowds all-time, including a Sun Belt Conference record 32,823 vs. North Texas on Oct. 15, 2011. Louisiana was the Sun Belt attendance champion in 2004, 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2014. Cajun Field hosted the 1,000th Cajuns game in school history on Nov. 1, 2008 before a then-Sun Belt record crowd of 29,031. Louisiana has enjoyed plenty of memorable moments since the venue opened in 1971. The greatest of those moments came during the 1996 season when the Ragin’ Cajuns opened their 26th season in the facility with the biggest upset in school history, a 29-22 victory over No. 25 Texas A&M in front of a then-record crowd of 38,783 fans. That mark surpassed the previous record crowd of 36,133 that saw the Cajuns face the Alabama Crimson Tide on Oct. 6, 1990. Cajun Field has been the site of much success with four consecutive 4-1 records from 1993-96. The school record for wins at Cajun Field in a season is seven, set during the 1976 season, one of three undefeated seasons (1976, 1980 and1987) at Cajun Field. Cajun Field boasts 2,577 chairback seats and additional seating to the capacity of another 38,849 giving the facility a total seating capacity of 41,426. In 2014, the south endzone was closed in to create more seating, adding 5,000 seats to the stadium capacity. General admission seating is available on the hill in the north end zone to give fans the opportunity to overflow the stadium. In the summer of 2008, Cajun Field removed its long-standing natural grass and entered a new era with a synthetic playing surface. Cajun Field was built in time for the 1971 football season. The characteristics which helped create the name and traditions have been there since the initial construction. For the first 17 years, Louisiana’s football stadium was simply known as Cajun Field. In the summer of 1988, then-Strength & Conditioning Coach Mickey Faulkinberry suggested referring to Cajun Field as “The Swamp”. The name stuck for various reasons. To start, the field surface is set two feet below sea level in a natural bowl. In addition to providing a picturesque surrounding, the sunken facility allows most fans to walk down to their stadium seats. The Cajuns and their opponents must enter Cajun Field through a long tunnel from the Cox Communications Athletic Center. “The Swamp” nickname also fits in with the geographic makeup of the area, with its many surrounding bayous and wetlands, as well as the close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, which lies just 30 miles south. In fact, a popular gathering place for Louisiana students and a regular stop for visitors is the small swamp located in the heart of Louisiana’s main campus, which sits adjacent to the Student Union. Ironically, the on-campus swamp, officially named Cypress Lake, lays over the original football field that existed during the early 1900’s, adding to the distinct nickname. The National Wetlands Center, a nationally renown research facility that Louisiana hosts and administers, is located less than a half-mile from Cajun Field.

Dr. Joseph Savoie University President
When Dr. E. Joseph Savoie became the University’s sixth president in 2008, he worked with volunteer transition teams and the campus community to formulate a strategic plan to guide the institution’s growth and development. Some components of that plan that reflect the University’s commitment to students have already taken shape. The University has increased its student housing capacity nearly 40 percent by adding new residence halls and constructing new parking towers. The Student Union was expanded and renovated to meet the United States Green Building Council LEED Certification Rating. The new campus hub opened in January 2015 featuring restaurants, meeting spaces, student-service offices, a collegiate shop and bookstore, and a post office. A large plaza overlooks Cypress Lake. The University unveiled a comprehensive master plan for campus that includes provisions for managing growth, development and change over the next two decades. The plan features additional parking, bikeways and mixed-use development of property. The University continues to focus on providing a quality education and a fulfilling college experience. Savoie and other university administrators support an academic environment that draws energetic and innovative faculty members, promotes community service and encourages mutually beneficial partnerships with state industries and area businesses.
2016 Media Guide
Prior to being named president of the University, Savoie was Louisiana’s Commissioner of H igher Education for 12 years. Under his leadership, higher education governance was restructured, a statewide community and technical college system was created, teacher education programs were redesigned, the state’s first needbased financial-aid program was created and a master plan for public postsecondary education was implemented. His affiliations include the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AASCU), the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). He serves on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and the NCAA Board of Governors. He previously served on the Board of Trustees for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). He also serves on several advisory groups that address higher education policy. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UL Lafayette, and served as the institution’s first vice president for University Advancement. He holds a doctorate in educational leadership and administration from Columbia University’s Teacher’s College in New York. Savoie and his wife, Gail, have a son, Adam; a daughter, Blaire Savoie Saulnier; and are the proud grandparents of Addison Marie Saulnier.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette
The largest institution within the nine-campus University of Louisiana System The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has distinguished itself in many ways. Happiness is one of its most important characteristics. Happiness is not a typical feature of school mottos, but the University’s seal bears the Latin words Fortiter, Feliciter, Fideliter, and the English translation: “Boldly, Happily, Faithfully.” In fact, the Lafayette community is recognized as the happiest city and one of the best college towns in the U.S. UL Lafayette is more than a happy place, however. It’s an excellent place to learn. It’s one of the nation’s best academic institutions, according to the 2015 edition of “The Best 379 Colleges” published by the Princeton Review. The National Science Foundation recognized the University among the top 10 universities in the U.S. for its percentage of research and development expenditures funded by business. It leads the state as the university with the lowest average net price to attend. UL Lafayette also is among the top 10 percent of most affordable fouryear public universities in the U.S. With more than 18,000 students, it is the largest institution within the nine-school University of Louisiana System and is the second-largest university in Louisiana. The University awards bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. Its diverse offerings range from the humanities to scientific research, and it is a leader in areas such as computer science, engineering, architecture, biology and nursing. It offers the state’s only industrial design degree. It also is one of three universities in the world to offer a graduate degree in Francophone studies. Community service is valued. Each year, more than 5,000 students, faculty and staff contribute about 500,000 hours of direct community service. Their efforts make an economic impact of millions

of dollars to the community. A wide range of cultural, recreational and social activities are available, on and off campus. With more than 150 campus organizations and clubs on campus, it’s easy for students to get involved. UL Lafayette is as unique as its location in the heart of Acadiana, a region known for its distinctive Cajun and Creole cultures, excellent food and music, and exceptional quality of life. The campus reflects the region’s beauty and natural resources. Cypress Lake, a microcosm of the nearby Atchafalaya Basin, skirts the Student Union. Although it’s called a lake, it’s actually a managed

wetland. Teeming with alligators, turtles, birds and fish, it’s filled with moss-draped cypress trees, lush vegetation, and birdsong. Stately live oaks—several more than 100 years old—shade campus walkways. The Quadrangle is encircled by the “Walk of Honor,” a path paved with more than 80,000 bricks bearing the names of each University graduate, beginning with the first graduating class of 1903. The University Research Park, a 147-acre site adjacent to the athletic complex, is home to LITE, which stands for the Louisiana Immersive Technology Enterprise. LITE ’s striking design features a three-story, egg-shaped room made of glass. Three-dimensional images created by supercomputers are projected inside. LITE was established for economic development through a partnership formed by the University, the Lafayette Economic Development Authority and the State of Louisiana. Other tenants in Research Park include the U.S.G.S’s National Wetlands Research Center and the NOAA’s Estuarine Habitats and Coastal Fisheries Center. The University was founded on July 14, 1898, which coincidentally is French National Day, or Bastille Day. Known in French as Université des Acadiens (the University of the Acadians), UL Lafayette is an accomplished public research university.

Scott Farmer Director of Athletics
W
ith unparalleled success in the areas of athletics, academics, fundraising and increased exposure on the state and national level, Director of Athletics Scott Farmer is leading the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns athletic program through its finest era in the University’s rich history. Since being named the school’s Director of Athletics in October of 2011, Farmer has guided the Ragin’ Cajuns through a transformation that has touched on all facets of the program. The Ragin’ Cajuns have established themselves as one of the top athletic programs in the country by virtue of numerous NCAA postseason appearances and championships. During a two-year period from 2013-15, the Ragin’ Cajuns were ranked among the top 50 schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision in a poll by the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and released by CBSSports.com. The Ragin’ Cajuns were rated as the 44th-best athletic program in the country, finishing ahead of 25 schools that compete in the Power 5 conferences. After a record-setting year in 2013-14, in which five sports claimed conference championships, the Ragin’ Cajuns were rated as the 34th-best nationally, finishing as the top non-BCS school in the rankings. The 2015-16 athletic year was a successful one for Ragin’ Cajuns athletics with both baseball and softball each hosting NCAA Regionals for the second time in three years. During the 2014-15 athletic year, the football team earned a bowl championship (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl), while women’s basketball claimed the 2015 Women’s Basketball Invitational title with four dramatic games on its home floor.
2016 Media Guide
The Ragin’ Cajuns also claimed Sun Belt Conference championships in both softball (regular-season) and baseball (SBC Tournament) with both programs earning trips to both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals for the second consecutive year - the only school in the nation to accomplish that feat. While 2014-15 was a successful year in the history of Ragin’ Cajuns athletics, the 2013-14 season was one for the ages as the department claimed a combined six Sun Belt Conference titles and solidified the school’s label as the “Home of Champions.” The Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball team claimed the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title after earning three hard fought victories in a 38-hour span at New Orleans’ Lakefront Arena, securing a berth in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships. Men’s tennis spent the season ranked in the national polls before claiming the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship and earning a berth in the NCAA Regionals. On the diamond, the baseball team claimed both the Sun Belt Conference regular-season and tournament championships, while setting a schoolrecord for wins (58), earning a unanimous No. 1 ranking in the national polls, and hosting both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals. And in the circle, the softball team won 49 games, claimed both the Sun Belt Conference regular-season and tournament crowns, hosted both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals, and made a sixth appearance in the Women’s College World Series. While the Ragin’ Cajuns have experienced great success under Farmer’s watch on the competition field, it’s in the classroom where the results have been exemplary. Student-athletes have thrived in the class-

room and have been provided the tools needed in obtaining their degrees under Farmer’s leadership. Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes have consistently set the bar academically, with the entire program enjoying 12 consecutive semesters of earning a combined grade point average of 2.8 or above. After setting cumulative GPA records in each semester during the 2013-14 academic year, Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes in the Fall 2014 semester produced the highest combined semester GPA in recorded history – a 3.056. With increased success in the classroom, Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes are on a solid track to graduate as evidenced by the annual Academic Progress Rate (APR). In 2016, all 16 Division I varsity sports exceeded the required 930 cutoff point with nine sports scoring at 960 or above. And with sustained progress in the APR equals a Federal Graduation Rate for student-athletes that was ranked as the best among all schools in the state of Louisiana and the Sun Belt Conference during the 2013-14 academic year. With a solid understanding and experience in intercollegiate athletics, Farmer has set the course in improving the overall experience for all studentathletes, coaches and fans through improvements in external sources upon his arrival in Lafayette. He played an integral role in establishing the Ragin’ Cajuns Athletic Foundation in 2009. Since its formation, the RCAF continues to grow and works on enhancing the department’s annual operating budget while providing financial support to Louisiana’s 16 varsity programs. In 2014, Annual Fund donations increased 31 percent from the previous year, eclipsing the $2 million mark for the first time in history, finishing with a total of $2.16 million and surpassing the previous record of $1.67 million raised in 2013. Overall, donations to the RCAF surpassed $6.5 million in 2013. Farmer was instrumental in the development of the University’s $115 million Athletic Facilities

INTRO | 2016 CAJUNS | COACHES | REVIEW | RECORDS | HISTORY | ADMINISTRATION | MEDIA Master Plan, a three-tiered plan that was launched in 2013 and includes major facility improvements that will aid coaches and student-athletes in all 16 athletic programs. Tier One of the plan, which was completed in the fall of 2015, saw the addition of nearly 6,000 seats in the south end zone of Cajun Field, the addition of the Student-Athlete Performance Center and the renovation of the Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer/ Track Complex, that will feature office space and locker rooms for both programs. Tier Two will focus on the renovations towards Cajun Field and M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field, home of Ragin’ Cajuns baseball. Renovations to Cajun Field will ultimately increase capacity, while adding club seats, loge seats and box suites. A new multi-story structure that will be located on the west side of the stadium will house a Hall of Fame Musuem, a bookstore and cafeteria for students and over 23,000 square feet of office space for athletic administration. Improvements to “Tigue” Moore Field will increase capacity to approximately 4,500, including nearly 1,200 chair back seats. The addition of luxury suites, a club level and a new press box will make the “Tigue” an attractive venue to host NCAA Tournaments in the future. With major facility upgrades on the horizon, Farmer has coordinated facility improvements that included the addition of new artificial playing surfaces in Cajun Field, M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field and the Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility. Farmer has helped spearhead renovations at both Lamson Park, the home of the nationallyranked softball program, and the Cox Athletic Center. New scoreboards have been installed at the Culotta Tennis Center, Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer/ Track Complex, and Lamson Park, while new video boards have been installed at both Cajun Field and Tigue Moore Field. Farmer has been responsible for the hiring of coaches Mark Hudspeth (football), Bob Marlin (men’s basketball), Garry Brodhead (women’s basketball) and Lon Badeaux (track), who have each created a winning culture in their respective programs and have recorded numerous team and individual honors. He has made Louisiana athletic events more accessible to fans by creating the Ragin’ Cajuns Network, which televises events on an annual basis into the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette markets. Farmer was also was instrumental in the expansion of the Ragin’ Cajuns Radio Network, which reaches every corner of the state of Louisiana during football season and has produced a twohour pre-game show, giving Ragin’ Cajuns fans greater ability to follow their team. Farmer has been the driving force behind the creation of GEAUX, the school’s football game day program that has grown to 116 pages of features, profiles, statistics and other information for Cajuns football fans. The program has sold out of its advertising space during the past four seasons dating back to 2012. In 2014, Farmer also helped broker a five-year partnership with Adidas, giving Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes and coaches the ability to be associated with one of the most iconic athletic apparel providers in the world. Farmer has worked to more than double the number of football season tickets sold, from just under 4,800 when he arrived as Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2007 to a record 13,755 in 2014. His efforts in increasing ticket sales have helped attendance at nearly every Ragin’ Cajuns event reach an all-time high. For the 15th consecutive season, both baseball and softball led the Sun Belt
2016 Media Guide
in attendance while both programs have been consistently ranked among the top 10 programs in attendance at the national level. Since 2011, Louisiana has led the Sun Belt Conference in football attendance in three out of five years with the 2011 campaign seeing the Ragin’ Cajuns setting SBC records for average attendance (29,171), total attendance (145,854) and leading all schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision with an increased average attendance of 11,788. With a consistent winner on the gridiron, fans have flocked in record numbers to New Orleans to watch the team play in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, with the top four crowds in the bowl’s history. Farmer has also garnered success on the conference and NCAA level as he completed a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Softball Committee, serving as the chair in both 2011 and 2012. From 2012-14, Farmer served a three-year term representing the Sun Belt Conference on the prestigious NCAA Leadership Council, and recently completed a four-year term as chair of the Sun Belt Conference Athletic Directors. Farmer’s first two years as athletic director resulted in great success for the Ragin’ Cajuns. In 2011-12, eight of the 16 athletic programs advanced to postseason play in their respective sports, including football making its first bowl appearance since 1970 and men’s basketball hosting a postseason game on campus for the first time since 1985. Farmer came to UL Lafayette after eight years at Troy University where he served as Senior Associate Athletic Director from 1999-2007. He helped the Trojans make a successful transition from both the Atlantic Sun Conference and Southland Football League to the NCAA Division I-FBS level and into the Sun Belt Conference as an all-sports member. At Troy, Farmer oversaw a massive renovation of the athletic facilities, including an $18 million renovation of football’s Veterans Memorial Stadium, new facilities for softball, tennis, track and soccer plus facility upgrades for both basketball and baseball. A native of Ormond Beach, Fla., Farmer was a four-year letterman in swimming at Georgia Southern, being named the school’s male scholar-athlete of the year in 1985. He received his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education in 1986 and a master’s in sports management in 1987. After graduating, Farmer began his career in athletics as head women’s swimming coach at Georgia Southern in 1986. He led the Eagles to eight conference titles in nine seasons, compiling a 65-25 record (.722) to become the winningest coach in program history. Promoted to a dual-position of assistant athletic director for sports programs, student-athlete services and event management in 1988, he left coaching following the 1995-96 season to concentrate on his duties overseeing student-athlete services. During his tenure at Georgia Southern – both as a student and as an administrator – the Eagles won four NCAA FCS (Division I-AA) football national championships. Farmer’s introduction to athletics came at an early age. His father, Bud Farmer, served as director of athletics and head swimming coach at Daytona Beach Community College (now Daytona State College) and was inducted into the National Junior College Swimming Hall of Fame in 2013. Farmer is married to the former Jackie Davis, a record-setting swimmer who he met at Georgia Southern. They are the parents of two children, a daughter, Kaitlin and a son, Kyle.

2016 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL
The Sun Belt Conference has been part of the collegiate athletics landscape for four decades, and in that time there may not be another conference that can match the Sun Belt’s innovation, vision and progressive thinking. This is, after all, the league that initiated basketball’s shot clock … the league that was the first to partner with a fledgling ESPN cable television entity that is now the “worldwide leader” … the league that went against the status quo and inaugurated football to start the century, the first already-existing Division I conference to ever take that step … and the league that is on the forefront of “new media” and internet-based advancement. The Sun Belt is all about being progressive – change for the better. The league’s embracing of innovations and advancements, its constant efforts to adapt in the everchanging world of college athletics, and its continuing process of evolving to better serve its membership has been well documented since the day the conference was founded in 1976. But one thing hasn’t changed: Since that founding, the Sun Belt Conference has always been a league of opportunity. Athletic and academic programs who have shown progressive thinking and the desire to improve have always found a home in the Sun Belt. More importantly, opportunities exist for studentathletes in the Sun Belt in untold numbers. The league is not a member of the heralded “autonomous five” group of conferences, but it does share the table as part of the NCAA’s powerful 24-member Board of Directors. In other words, the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve. It is a decision-maker, along with being a trail-blazer. And opportunity is not a word that the Sun Belt takes lightly. The conference is uniquely positioned to provide opportunities for its institutions and student-athletes that the “autonomous five” leagues and schools often cannot. Student-athletes that for one reason or another were not given a chance by those at a higher echelon have found a home in the Sun Belt, and many have gone on to find success athletically and academically that might not have been possible at more heralded institutions. Last December, there were three teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) that played their firstever bowl game. All three were members of the Sun Belt Conference – Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Georgia State. For student-athletes, Sun Belt institutions are leaders in providing career services and the tools to assist in the pursuit of personal goals. Sun Belt members all employ full-time academic advisors and have on average more than 20 tutors for academic support. During the 2015-16 academic year, Sun Belt member institutions awarded
2016 Media Guide
over $50 million in scholarships to more than 3,100 student-athletes, while also providing life experiences such as team building, domestic and foreign travel, community service, mentoring, and recognition through honors and awards. Individual opportunities also extend between the lines. The Sun Belt had 40 players on active NFL rosters during the 2015 season, with representation on 23 of 32 NFL teams. Professional teams in several other sports are dotted with Sun Belt alumni. The league is an intriguing combination. It is a fixture on the national scene, involved in the conduct and competition of college athletics, but also provides chances for success on many unique and different levels. In athletic parlance, the Sun Belt has “upside,” and that makes for even more excitement as the league begins its fifth decade. Its motto, “Together We Rise,” is just as applicable now as it was when the league was founded to give a home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball programs. That very first year, one of those programs (UNC Charlotte) reached the pinnacle of NCAA men’s basketball competition with a berth in the Final Four. Since then, the league’s 40-year history is strewn with success in many different men’s and women’s sports, and that success continues to the present day. But when the desire for a higher national profile and the desire of its membership brought about football sponsorship in 2001, the conference was figuratively reborn. No league in history had ever pulled off what the Sun Belt was attempting – an established league jumping directly into Division I-A (now FBS) competition. Now, the league stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country. The Sun Belt Conference will hold its first ever football championship game as the league’s presidents and chancellors, as well as athletic directors, voted unanimously to play the game beginning in 2018. And with the College Football Playoff now an integral part of the nation’s sports fabric, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on performance as the winner of the Sun Belt’s Championship game can be in the national championship picture. The league is also a permanent part of the “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that sends its highest-rated champion to a “New Year’s Six” bowl game every season. The CFP has provided much excitement over the past two years, but bowl games have long been a tradition in college football and the Sun Belt has established its own bowl tradition. The league has secured ties to no

fewer than five bowl games, having added three bowl games each of the last three years. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed berths in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl – an honor it has held from its very first football season --, the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Ala., the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando, and the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl in Tucson, Ariz. No football conference in NCAA history has developed that quantity of bowl partners in its first 15 years of existence. In the last four seasons, Sun Belt members have recorded 66 non-conference football wins including a record 21 wins outside the league in 2013, and league teams have won five bowl games in the last three years – two of them winning in their first-ever bowl appearance last year. The league’s success extends past football, though. When Little Rock upset fifth-seeded Purdue in the first round of last March’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Sun Belt became one of 12 leagues – out of 32 with automatic qualifiers – to have a team win a tournament game in each of the last two seasons (joining the ACC, AAC, A-10, Big 12, Big East, B1G, C-USA, MVC, SEC, WCC). The Sun Belt and the Pac-12 were the only leagues to have members win an NCAA Tournament game and also post wins in two other postseason tournaments in 2015, and added an NCAA win and another postseason win this past season. One year earlier, Georgia State upset third-seeded Baylor in the NCAA first round, and Little Rock’s women’s squad defeated sixth-seeded Texas A&M in the NCAA women’s tournament. That same year, the Sun Belt became one of seven conferences nationwide to have back-to-back first round selections in the NBA Draft when Georgia State’s R. J. Hunter was the No. 28 overall pick by the Boston Celtics. Former UL Lafayette guard Elfrid Payton went No. 10 overall to the Orlando Magic in the 2014 draft and was a participant in the league’s All-Star Weekend the past two seasons. In the spring, baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight with deep runs into postseason play and high visibility in national polls becoming a tradition. UL Lafayette’s baseball team was the nation’s No. 1 team for the final third of the 2014 season and reached the NCAA Super Regional round in 2014 and 2015, and the UL Lafayette softball team has advanced to the Super Regional round five straight seasons including a trip to the 2014 Women’s College World Series. The Sun Belt’s commitment to academic excellence remains a hallmark, with the league and its institutions annually rewriting the Sun Belt record book for grade-point averages and academic honors. This past spring, a recordtying 14 league programs were recognized for outstanding performance in the classroom, with those teams earning NCAA Public Recognition Awards for posting APR scores in the top 10 percent of their sport nationally. It

was the second straight year for the Sun Belt to have 14 programs honored, doubling the amount of the previous years. The strength of any league is in its membership, and the Sun Belt adds to its strength this year with Coastal Carolina accepting an invitation to join effective July 1, 2016. The Chanticleers begin competition in all sports with the exception of football in the 2016-17 season. CCU will be bringing the reigning national championship baseball team to the conference as the Chanticleers defeated Arizona in the College World Series final this past June. CCU will immediately challenge for Sun Belt championships in baseball, but the Chanticleers also boast a men’s soccer team that is coming off of a top-25 rank season and a second round NCAA appearance and an NCAA appearance in women’s volleyball last season. The CCU football program begins a transition to the FBS this year with its first year of full FBS status coming in 2018. Coastal Carolina will compete as a Sun Belt football member beginning in 2017 and will have the opportunity to compete for the conference championship, but will not be eligible for postseason play until the following year. Coastal Carolina joins Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy to give the league 10 football-playing members. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members. That group gives the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new,” with many long-time Sun Belt institutions – South Alabama is a charter member dating back to 1976 – continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on league and national levels. The varied campuses and locations reflect another league strength – its diversity. The mix of regions and regional cultures provide a rare opportunity for league student-athletes and staff members to experience many environments. Those same student-athletes can also experience that diversity without leaving their own campuses. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware (Troy) and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (UL Lafayette), and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) coming from Sun Belt campuses, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-fil-A president Daniel Cathy, Georgia Southern), nationally known entertainers (Tim McGraw, UL Monroe, Ludacris, Georgia State) and royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State). These proud alumni, as well as the thousands of student-athletes and staff members at a dozen institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference gains stature with every year and provides the promise of future success with every sunrise. It is a league of opportunity and a league of excitement, and “Together We Rise” has never been more true or more appropriate.
