#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

THE TENNESSEE TECH FIGHT SONG There they go again today, What a team, Yea, the Eagles! You'll hear everybody say 'Better get on the ball with the Eagles!' Make that touchdown play again, See them running up the score, for We'll be leading all the way With our own Tech Golden Eagles! THE TENNESSEE TECH HYMN The quiet hills stand steadfast Round walls of russet brown On halls serene and campus green The smoky hills look down; And proudly may I cherish What thou hast giv'n to me, Oh Alma Mater, Tennessee Tech, God prosper thee. Deep purple stand the mountains And golden sets the sun. We proudly wear these colors fair Until our goal is won; We pledge thee faithful service, Our love and loyalty, Oh Alma Mater, Tennessee Tech, God prosper thee.

HEAD COACH MARCUS SATTERFIELD

arcus Satterfield made a splash in his first season in Cookeville. Energizing the fanbase and the community with a high-intensity, high-octane energy, Satterfield helped lead the Tennessee Tech football team to its best season since 2011 and it was obvious that it was just the beginning. Trust the process, indeed. Over the course of his career, it has been a process – one that has proven successful as he helped build top-notch programs at Temple and Chattanooga. But now, with his first season with the Golden Eagles in the books, the focus remains on one word – championships. Satterfield, 40, was announced as the Golden Eagles’ 11th head coach on Jan. 4, 2016, and he wasted no time working in the community trying to build support and working with his players to make Tennessee Tech a power in the Ohio Valley Conference again. The son of a high school football coach – Bill Satterfield at Greenback, who Marcus played for between 1990 and 1994 – Satterfield was more than used to the demands of the position. After graduation, Satterfield spent one year at Chattanooga State Community College before transferring to East Tennessee State University, where he was a three-year letterman for the Buccaneers between 1995 and 1998, receiving his bachelor’s degree in history in 1999. Satterfield then entered the coaching profession at Chattanooga, serving first as a volunteer, another as a restricted earnings coach, then one year as a wide receivers coach. He then moved over to Knoxville, spending two seasons as a graduate assistant for Phillip Fulmer at the University of Tennessee, helping direct the team to Peach Bowl appearances in 2002 and 2003, serving as the interim running backs coach for the second. He also spent one year each at Richmond and Western Carolina as the wide receivers coach, then entered the Ohio Valley Conference for the first time as he joined the UT Martin staff for three years, working as the passing game coordinator, then becoming the associate head coach in 2008. In 2009, Russ Huesman named Satterfield the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Chattanooga, a tenure that lasted four seasons and saw the Mocs earn winning seasons each year. Matt Rhule then brought Satterfield to Temple in 2013 as he was named the offensive coordinator. He also worked with the quarterbacks for two years, then the running backs in his final season in Philadelphia. That 2015 season was a special one as the Owls opened the season 7-0, were ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since 1979, won 10 regular-season games and an American Athletic Conference East division championship, as well as earned the team’s first win over Penn State since 1941. Just a couple of weeks after playing in the Boca Raton Bowl, Satterfield, with his wife, Sarah, and daughter, Harper, were in Cookeville, taking charge of a program for the first time. In just a few short days, Satterfield had his staff together, a signing class inked and players ready to start working toward their ultimate goal – an NCAA FCS National Championship. While the 2016 season didn’t see that, the Golden Eagles did post one of its strongest seasons in recent years, overcoming many obstacles, and proving that it is, after all, a process. With the 2016 team featuring a lot of returning faces, as well as a few exciting newcomers, Satterfield hopes to make 2017 another step toward that goal.

TYREE FOREMAN

yree Foreman could be described as the zen master of the Golden Eagles’ coaching staff. With a cool and calm approach, Foreman oversees the Tech offense as well as works with the team’s tight ends. It is a slight departure from a season ago, as he leaves the running backs role to take on the play-calling effort after the departure of Justin Rascati in the winter. Working with Satterfield at Temple, the 2015 season was Tyree Foreman’s eighth as running backs coach with the Owls, where he developed a tradition of excellent ball carriers under his direction.

Foreman earned a bachelor’s degree in religious studies from Virginia in May 2001, with concentrations in Christianity and Buddhism. He was a three-year letterwinner in the backfield at Virginia from 1999 to 2001, starting at both the fullback and tailback positions. After departing Virginia, the Sandy Spring, Md., native, signed a rookie, free-agent contract with the San Diego Chargers in April 2002. At the end of training camp he was signed to the Chicago practice squad in August and remained with the Bears throughout the 2002 season. Foreman was allocated to NFL Europe during the spring of 2003 and spent the season as the starting fullback for

the Barcelona Dragons. He left professional football during the summer of 2003 and returned to the gridiron with his initial coaching assignment at West Point. Foreman arrived at West Point in March 2004 and helped make an immediate impact on the Black Knight rushing attack. In addition to coaching ball carriers during his tenure at Army, Foreman also worked with special teams, assisting with punt, kickoff return and punt return, as well as field goal and extra point units. He recruited in Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, Delaware, West Virginia, and Ohio for the Black Knights.

QUARTERBACKS COACH / PASSING GAME COORDINATOR

NICK COLEMAN

oleman joins the Tennessee Tech staff in the summer of 2017, looking to oversee the team’s quarterbacks. The former Middle Tennessee State University quarterback spent four years in Murfreesboro as a player, then another season and a half with the Blue Raiders as an offensive graduate assistant and assistant quarterbacks coach. So when the former MTSU standout saw a quarterbacks coaching position open at Tennessee Tech, he couldn’t resist. “The opportunity was great,” Coleman said. “To be able to coach with Coach Satterfield and his staff is something I’ve found out that I wanted to do really quick. Cookeville is a great area and I’m just excited to be here. “I’ve been through here many times. I have family

here and know the area really well. When the job came open, it was a no-brainer.” The rivalry between the two schools may not be what it once was, but for Coleman, it’s an opportunity to help bring the Golden Eagles back into prominence. “It’s hard not to want to be a part of what’s going on here under Coach Satterfield,” Coleman said. “It’s an opportunity to coach with a guy who loves football. Every day, he wakes up to win football games. That’s what you want to do as a coach – be around those types of people.” Coleman joins the staff after a three-and-a-halfyear stint at Itawamba Community College, serving as the Indians’ offensive coordinator and quarterback coach, as well as recruiting coach. In his tenure there, the Indians have gone 15-13. Last season, starting sophomore quarterback

Peyton Bender threw for 2,733 yards and 21 touchdowns as he completed 211 of his 324 passes, averaging 303.7 yards per game. Before that, Coleman spent three seasons at Faulkner University in Montgomery, Ala., serving in the same roles as he built a recruiting pipeline for the NAIA school in the Birmingham, Atlanta, Tennessee, North Florida and Southern California areas. Coleman received his bachelor of science from MTSU in Health and Human Performance in 2009, then followed it up with a masters in Sport Management in 2011. During his playing days for Coach Rick Stockstill, Coleman also helped the Blue Raiders earn a 2006 Sun Belt Conference championship and a Motor City Bowl berth, then was a member of the 2009 New Orleans Bowl-winning team.

It was good to have that opportunity before we had the job opening, because I really got to see the real guy and what he believed in. As soon as the job came open, I knew he was one of the first guys I wanted to apply.”

First season Oregon, 2010

With the Eagles, Crenshaw helped recruit student-athletes, monitored their academic performance, broke down game film and put together scouting reports, helped oversee training and developed game plans. “He did a really nice job at Morehead State,” Satterfield said, “and had a great reputation as a recruiter, an instructor. His guys were doing the right things off the field, which is what we want. He had an unbelievable understanding of the correlation between academics and football.” Crenshaw added, “What more can you ask for in a program like this that’s on the rise? The team finished 5-3 (in conference play last season) and there’s so much more left in the tank. We’re excited with where the program is going and our guys are

ready to take that next step.” Prior to his tenure in Kentucky, Crenshaw was a GA, overseeing the running backs and specialists at Dakota Wesleyan in Mitchell, S.D., then was also the running backs and athletes coach at Riggs Football Academy in Sioux Falls, S.D. At Dakota Wesleyan, he helped develop Francois Barnaud, who became the school’s leading rusher in just two seasons – picking up 1,893 yards as a junior and 1,409 yards as a senior, the top two seasons in program history. He led the NAIA and Great Plains Athletic Conference in rushing as a junior, was a second-team All-American selection and twice named all-conference.

or any offense to work, the guys up front on the offensive line have to be at the top of their game. So when the offensive line coach position opened up, Tennessee Tech head football coach Marcus Satterfield wasted no time bringing in someone he could trust. Lonnie Teasley was added to the staff, bringing in some valuable experience. Having coached with Satterfield and offensive coordinator Tyree Foreman before, Teasley brings in a familiarity to his system, his expectations and his goals. “I know exactly what he’s trying to do here with the culture and everything from schematics to details,” Teasley said. His goals for his offensive line players are simple: “To run the football and protect the quarterback,” he said. Tech’s offensive line grew through the course

of the 2016 season under the direction of David Napert and Wentz, now Teasley’s looking forward to the opportunity to continue the momentum building with some experienced returnees and some talented newcomers. Teasley was most recently the run game coordinator and offensive line coach for University of New Haven, a Division II program in the Northeast 10 Conference. But before that stop, he spent two seasons with the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens, assisting the team’s offensive line coach as he helped with weekly game planning, drawings, scouting reports and breakdowns.

I’m glad to be back and working for another championship for Tennessee Tech.” Working with Coach Satterfield on the inaugural staff, Partrick got an understanding in what Satterfield’s expectations for the program were and the direction the program was heading in. “Absolutely,” Partrick said. “Coach Satterfield has a very strong vision for what he wants to do here

The center stage of the stadium is Overall Field, named to recognize longtime Tech coach and administrator Putty Overall. The stadium features a two-level press box on each side, with the West Box hosting the working press and the East Box hosting the president and his guests. With the addition of the 24/7 turf, the latest in technology, material and equipment was used to ensure that Tucker Stadium is one of the finest facilities in the Ohio

Valley Conference. Tucker Stadium opened for gridiron action for the 1966 season with seating for 12,500. In the first game in the facility, Chattanooga came to town and handed coach Don Wade's Golden Eagles a 17-7 loss. Two weeks later, Tech posted its first victory in the stadium, topping East Tennessee State, 14-3. The facility was expanded to its present capacity of 16,500 prior to the 1971 season. In 39 college football seasons, it has hosted 1,532,281 fans at 221 games. Tech has hosted 21 crowds of better than 12,000 fans and owns a 12-8-1 record in those contests, including a record 12,831 for the game against Cumberland in the 2007 opener. The largest attendance came against Morehead State in 1971, when 16,521 folks crowded into the newly enlarged facility. The 2009 Golden Eagles were unbeaten at home, posting a 5-0 record. Golden Eagle teams have had three other unbeaten home seasons, going 11-0 over two consecutive seasons, with a 5-0 mark in 1971 and 6-0 in 1972. Tech was also 5-0 in 2001. The facility was officially dedicated as Tucker Stadium at Homecoming ceremonies on Oct. 18, 1980, in honor of former coach Wilburn Tucker, who served

on the Golden Eagle staff for 21 years. The playing field itself retained its designation as Overall Field, named for coach P.V. Overall, who was head coach at Tech for 26 years. Both men are in the Tech Sports Hall of Fame and the OVC Hall of Fame. When the stadium was built in 1966, it featured a press box on the West side for the working press. The second box -- for use by TTU's president and guests -plus 4,000 additional seats, were added to the East side of the stadium in 1971. The first synthetic turf was laid in 1970 and was replaced in 1980. That turf lasted 13 years until Stadia Turf was installed in 1994. The surface that was replaced in 2007. The largest crowd in Tucker Stadium history (16,521) watched the Golden Eagles beat Morehead State, 26-8, on October 23, 1971. Jeff Axel rushed for 138 yards on 18 carries to lead the offense while Jim Youngbloodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16 tackles topped the Golden Eagle defense as Tech posted a Homecoming victory. Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crowd of 12,831 for the 2007 game against Cumberland University was the largest opening day crowd in the 44-year history of Tucker Stadium.

2016 in review #TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

21 7 SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 COOKEVILLE, TENN. COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech football team came out with a statement on Thursday night, recovering an onside kick on the opening kickoff, then putting together a first-quarter score. But Wofford built momentum and scored 21 unanswered points in the final three quarters to spoil the Golden Eagles’ opener in a 21-7 loss at Tucker Stadium. “We’ve got things to improve on and get better on,” said head coach Marcus Satterfield during the team’s post-game press conference. “We’ll get back to work on (Friday) morning.” Kip Patton scored the Golden Eagles’ lone touchdown as he scored on a four-yard run to cap a five-play, 40-yard series. However, Wofford was able to pull away on three rushing touchdowns from quarterback Brad Butler, who ended the game with 85 yards on 11 carries. He also completed four of his five passes for 30 yards.

“He’s a tough kid and he made some great plays,” Satterfield said. Will Gay ended the game with 116 yards on nine carries for the Terriers (1-0). The game did have a scary moment with 4:27 remaining and the game tied at seven in the third quarter. Wofford junior linebacker Michael Roach collapsed on the Terrier sideline, prompting attention from both training staffs and Putnam County EMS. Roach was transported and kept overnight at Cookeville Regional Medical Center for observation according to a statement from the Wofford athletic department. After both teams met at midfield for a prayer for Roach’s recovery, the Terriers responded for their fallen teammate, quickly scoring the go-ahead touchdown as Butler scored on a seven-yard run. Butler scored again in the fourth quarter on a 21-yard scamper.

There were still bright spots for the Golden Eagles (0-1). Freshman running back Yeedee Thaenrat rushed nine times for 49 yards, breaking off a 17-yarder to lead his evening. Quarterback Michael Birdsong, a Marshall transfer, had a good night, converting 22 of his 34 passes into 216 yards. However, the Terriers picked him off once and were able to get to him five times for sacks. Brock McCoin, who missed the last week of preseason camp with an injury, was back in the lineup and caught seven passes for 94 yards, including a 46-yard reception to lead all receivers. Safety Deontay Wilson had a great first game with the Golden Eagles, collecting 14 tackles. Josh Poplar and Elliott Normand each also recorded career-high totals with 12 tackles, while Kevin Robinson-White reached a new career high with 11 stops.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

7 41 SEPTEMBER 10, 2016 CLARKSVILLE, TENN. CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – 493 yards of offense. One thing was sure as Tennessee Tech opened its Ohio Valley Conference slate with a dominating win over Austin Peay -- the Golden Eagles came out to play, The victory marked the first in the career of head coach Marcus Satterfield and also put the Golden Eagles in an early lead in both the conference and the Sergeant York Trophy race. “It feels good to get that first conference win,” Satterfield said. “I’m sure I’ll look back on this sometime as my first win as a head coach. I pressed our staff all week demanded a lot of the players and I thought at one point they were going to walk out on us. “We made great strides from the Wofford game. We focused on the details,

didn’t look at the scoreboard, and just took it one play at a time. It was really awesome to see our guys get rewarded for doing what was demanded of them.” The offensive total was the largest for the Golden Eagles in two seasons. “That’s what we could do,” Satterfield said. “I can’t say we’d do that every game, but it showed our kids on tape that we can do this, so that’s going to be the new standard to beat.” It was also a record-breaking night for several Tech players. Josh Poplar had another strong game, forcing two fumbles, tying the school record with seven other players. Quarterback Michael Birdsong threw four touchdowns, tying with Tre Lamb and Robert Craft for the second-most in a game. Birdsong lit up the Governor defense,

throwing for 280 yards on 19-for-27 passing. The Tech defense also held Austin Peay to 86 rushing yards – the lowest total in two seasons by the Golden Eagle defense – and 157 yards passing. Yeedee Thaenrat opened up the scoring for Tech (1-1, 1-0 OVC) with a 25-yard run, then Birdsong threw three touchdown passes – an eight-yard strike to Andrew Goldsmith, a 23-yarder to Austin Hicks and a 39-yard bomb to Jordan Smith – to give the Golden Eagles a commanding 28-0 advantage at the intermission. The one defensive blemish of the night was a 72-yard touchdown pass from Marvin Franklin to Timarious Mitchell for a Governors’ score. McCoin caught Birdsong’s final TD of

the night on a 10-yard pass, then Nick Madonia added to his his 5-for-5 night on PATs with a 27- and a 22-yard field goal. Thaenrat led the Golden Eagles on the ground with 84 yards and a score on 14 carries, while Roderick Napper ended the game with 63 yards on eight carries, averaging 7.9 yards a carry. McCoin led Tech in receptions with seven for 52 yards, while Kip Patton led in yardage with five catches for 102 yards. “Kip’s a different animal,” Satterfield said. “We’ve got to continue to bring him along and put him in the position to make plays. Yeedee’s only going to get better. He’s a freshman, but he’s going to get stronger each week. He’s doing a great job of protecting the ball and playing physical.”

MACON, Ga. – Turnovers proved costly for the Tennessee Tech football team as three miscues started scoring drives for the Mercer Bears on Saturday as the Golden Eagles fell 34-27 at Five Star Stadium. Tech opened the game with a fantastic punctuation as Dontez Byrd broke loose for a 100-yard kickoff return on the opening kick, with Nick Madonia adding the PAT to make it a 7-0 Tech lead with just 13 seconds ticked off the clock. Mercer answered on its opening drive by putting a 42-yard field goal through the uprights to close out the first quarter scoring. The Bears took the lead late in the second quarter as quarterback John Russ found paydirt on a 15-yard run with 3:23 left in the first half. The PAT made it a 10-7 Mercer lead. The drive started on a Tech fumble on a sack. However, the Golden Eagles put together an impressive drive to end the second quarter, travelling 62 yards on six plays, scoring as Kip Patton hauled in a 27-yard

pass from Michael Birdsong to take a 14-10 lead into the intermission. Birdsong opened up the second half with his second touchdown of the day, throwing a 21-yard strike to Jordan Giberti. Madonia’s PAT was good, making it a 21-10 Tech lead. But the momentum started to shift. Sam Walker caught back-to-back touchdown passes from Russ, on 22- and 9-yard strikes, to take a 24-21 lead. The second score saw its drive start from a Tech fumble as Krys Cates had a completed catch knocked out of his hand to give the ball back to the Bears. After a 4-and-out from Tech, the Golden Eagles took advantage of a moment of confusion, Russ threw a pass to Walker and it fell to the ground. With no whistle blown, Josh Poplar picked up the loose ball and carried it into the end zone. The officials ruled the play a fumble and credited Tech with the touchdown, putting Tech back up 27-24.

However, Madonia’s extra-point try was blocked, shifting the momentum back into the Bears’ corner. A Birdsong interception kicked off a six-play, 27-yard scoring drive for the Bears as Russ ended the drive with a one-yard run. Cole Fisher ended Mercer’s scoring with a 49-yard field goal for the final margin of 34-27. The Golden Eagles had one last chance to put together a drive, but a sack on Birdsong knocked the ball loose, allowing Mercer to reclaim the ball and kneel to end the game. Birdsong finished the game with 239 yards and two touchdowns on a 23-for-30 day, while Patton hauled in six passes for 58 yards and a score. Yeedee Thaenrat led the rush with 22 carries for 57 yards. For Mercer, Russ ended the game with 259 yards on 23-of-35 passing, while Avery Ward caught eight passes for 86 yards. Payton Usher led the Bears with 77 yards on 16 carries.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

44 23 SEPTEMBER 24, 2016 MARTIN, TENN. MARTIN, Tenn. – With 68 seconds left in the game, Tennessee Tech trailed by one possession, a deficit that was certainly within reach if the right things fell in place. However, a kickoff return on an onside kick and an interception return for a touchdown in the final 62 seconds dashed those hopes as UT Martin claimed its first Ohio Valley Conference win of the season with a 44-23 victory on Saturday at Hardy M. Graham Stadium. It was literally a story of two halves as Tech struggled in the first as UTM posted a 21-9 lead at the intermission. But in the second half, the Golden Eagles made a furious comeback, cutting the deficit to one possession at 31-23 with 1:08 remaining in the fourth quarter. “That’s all we can ask for,” said Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield. “We kept telling them not to look at the scoreboard and just play for six seconds and play as hard as you can. They understand that terrific effort can overcome bad execution. Poor effort can never overcome precise execution. They finally figured it out but it was a little too late. They kept working and that’s all I can ask for.” However, mistakes late turned the tide and put the game out of reach as Tae Martin returned the ensuing

onside kick to score a 43-yard touchdown. After that, the Skyhawks ran out the clock as Julian Thompson-Clay intercepted a Michael Birdsong pass and returned it 86 yards for a score. Statistically, Tech’s second-half efforts made it a much closer game than the score indicated as the Golden Eagles compiled 378 yards on 69 plays, while the Skyhawks had 366 yards on 64 plays. “We had crucial penalties,” Satterfield said. “We’d convert on a 3rd down then have a holdin penalty. We did that twice in the first quarter. We had three special teams penalties that pushed us inside our 10. When you do that, you’re not going to win many ball games.” Birdsong threw for 274 yards on 17-for-38 passing and also led Tech’s rushing attack with 13 carries for 56 yards. Yeedee Thaenrat led the Tech receivers with five catches for 50 yards. Jordan Smith had a career-high 79 yards on three catches. Nick Madonia kicked a career-high three field goals, connecting from a career-long 42, 25 and 20. Defensively, Elliott Normand also had a career-high 13 tackles. For the Skyhawks, Troy Cook passed for 223 yards and two touchdowns as he completed nine of his 16 attempts.

On the second play from scrimmage, Deontay Wilson picked off a Gunnar Holcombe pass and returned it 34 yards to put the Golden Eagles into position at the Martin 24. After five plays, Thaenrat put Tech on the scoreboard, scoring on a one-yard push into the end zone. Madonia’s PAT failed, leaving Tech up 6-0. However, the Skyhawks (2-2, 1-0 OVC) came storming back. Jaimiee Bowe ran for a 14-yard touchdown, then Mitch Mersman connected on the PAT to put UTM up 7-6. Early in the second quarter, Greg McKillion caught a 40yard pass from Cook for a score. Tech countered with the first of the three Madonia field goals, but the Skyhawks scored once more in the first half as Londell Lee hauled in a 41-yard strike from Cook for a touchdown. Ladevin Fair ran for a 13-yard touchdown for the only score in the third quarter, with the PAT making it a 28-9 game after three quarters. Tech put up 14 points in the fourth, starting with a 25yard field goal from Madonia. Then Andrew Goldsmith scored on a 22-yard run and Alex Carling caught the two-point conversion pass from Birdsong to make it a 28-20 game with 5:50 remaining. Mersman and Madonia traded field goals, then UTM scored on the two miscues to close out the contest.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

30 33 OCTOBER 1, 2016 -- OVERTIME COOKEVILLE, TENN. COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Alex Carling had probably the catch of a lifetime. With Eastern Kentucky up 30-27 in overtime, the Tennessee Tech football team took advantage of a personal foul call against the Colonels to get a first down, then Michael Birdsong threw a four-yard strike to the tight end Carling in the left corner of the end zone for the game-winning touchdown, 33-30 in favor of the Golden Eagles. “It feels fantastic,” Carling said. “But it was the offensive line, it was Michael Birdsong that made that throw. I was just wide open in the end zone and made the catch.” The dog pile ensued as the Golden Eagles improved to 2-3, 2-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference. “It’s a great win,” said Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield, “but we also know that it’s just one game. The mental toughness and confidence we’ve been trying to build on our team finally showed tonight. We played far from perfect and we played a really good Eastern Kentucky team. We’re going to be playing that team for championships a lot in the future. “For our guys to give up big plays and just keep

fighting and hanging in there, and get us into overtime was a great effort.” Offensively, the Golden Eagles put up huge nights as Tech controlled the ball for 42:28, collecting 446 yards on 94 yards. More importantly, Tech did not give up the ball, especially to an EKU team that was characteristically taking advantage of points off turnovers. Birdsong had his best night as a Golden Eagle, throwing for 327 yards on a 27-for-42 night with three touchdowns. Birdsong also rushed for a touchdown of his own. “Michael won the game with his arms and with his legs,” Satterfield said. “Dontez (Byrd) and Alex made great plays, and Alex’s catch – that isn’t an easy catch right there.” Two of those touchdowns went to Louisville transfer Byrd, who hauled in 116 yards on seven catches. Josh Cunningham also caught seven passes, collecting 69 yards. Nick Madonia also had two big field goals for the Golden Eagles, kicking from 42 and 26 yards. Since missing two field goals against Wofford in the season opener, Madonia is 7-for-7 on field goals.

Defensively, the Golden Eagles put themselves in position with two huge fourth-down stops. Tech held EKU to 0-for-3 on fourth down, but there were two stops in the fourth quarter. With 12:14 remaining in regulation, Elliott Normand and Chris McElderry stuffed Ethan Thomas for no gain at the Tech 29. On the next Colonel drive, facing 4th and 17, quarterback Bennie Coney connected with Ryan Markush with a 13-yard pass on the Tech 14, but it was four yards short. Deontay Wilson and Josh Poplar led Tech in tackles, wrapping up eight EKU players each. On the other end, Jeffrey Canady had 17 tackles for EKU, while Kiante Northington had 15. Coney had another fantastic outing against Tech, throwing for 464 yards and three touchdowns on a 32-for-49 night. Devin Borders caught nine passes for 121 yards and Markush hauled in seven passes for 104 yards. Both receivers caught touchdowns, along with Dan Crimmins, who had six catches for 65 yards. Jared Sanders had the other touchdown for the Colonels (1-3, 0-1 OVC), rushing for a 59-yard score in the first quarter.

40 21 OCTOBER 9, 2016 JACKSONVILLE, ALA. JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – For all of the highs a week ago after a big win, the Tennessee Tech football team had a humbling experience on Saturday as No. 3 Jacksonville State put together a dominant performance, beating the Golden Eagles 40-21 at Burgess-Snow Field. Tech (2-4, 2-2 Ohio Valley Conference) was able to score some points and avoid the shutout, but the Gamecocks’ defense made the Golden Eagles work for what they did have. “The positives were that we were doing the things we were supposed to do,” said Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield. “We were competing until the clock hit zero. We can’t get stuck in this rut. We’ve talked about this – it’s not OK to lose at all. We proved too many times that we can compete with these guys and get them off the field and move the ball. The fact that we couldn’t do it early on and get into such a hole was unacceptable. “But I am proud of our kids. They did a lot of things that were hard. We got down, but our guys were on the sidelines cheering for each other. People were making fun of them in the stands, but they were like, ‘Why?’ They were just getting drilled, but they were still there for each other. We can’t lose games and we don’t want moral victories.” Satterfield continued, “This team has got something

special about it. It starts with our coaches and trickles down to our players. We have something special. I told them we’re going to get on the bus to Tennessee and we’re going to compete. We cannot lose another conference game or I’m going to be really, really upset.” Tech ended the game with 229 yards of offense, including 62 rushing yards, marking the seventh time Golden Eagles had been held to under 100 yards of rushing offense against the Gamecocks since they joined the Football Championship Subdivision in 1995. The Gamecocks also took advantage of five Tech turnovers -- three interceptions and two fumbles. Trailing 24-0, Michael Birdsong put the Golden Eagles on the scoreboard with a four-yard run with 1:53 remaining before halftime. “That was huge,” Satterfield said. “We knew they were going to come back. We told them all week that they were going to come out swinging. It was going to be a great crowd and everything’s going to be going against you. Emotions are going to go wild and we were trying to teach them how to handle that and get through a momentum swing. We did at times, and we didn’t handle it at times. We made mistakes, and that’s what teams who win don’t do. We have to eliminate those. “It’s not just enough to work hard and love each other.

We have to eliminate the things that will keep us from winning games.” But JSU (4-1, 1-0 OVC) added nine more points in the rest of the quarter as Josh Clemons ran for a nine-yard score, then Cade Stinnett added a 39-yard field goal as time expired to the send the teams to the locker rooms, JSU up 33-7. Dontez Byrd caught his third touchdown pass in two weeks as he hauled in a 30-yard pass from Birdsong in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Birdsong ran for his second touchdown of the game on a one-yard gain to end a 14-play drive. Madonia’s extra point was good, making it a 40-21 game with 10:24 remaining. Tim Collins had a standout game on defense, collecting two sacks along with six tackles, including three for-loss. Elliott Normand led the Golden Eagles with 12 tackles. For Jacksonville State, its offense rolled up 446 yards on 73 plays. Quarterback Eli Jenkins was 10-for-16 for 157 yards passing, while he rushed 10 times for 80 yards and a score. Clemons ran for three touchdowns among his 24 carries for 110 yards.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

30 24 OCTOBER 15, 2016 COOKEVILLE, TENN. COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech was driving with a chance to win on Saturday night, but the Golden Eagles saw the opportunity slip away against Football Championship Subdivision No. 17 Eastern Illinois. Tech (2-5, 2-3 Ohio Valley Conference) was in a situation where it had to go for the first down, facing 4th and 10 on the Panther 39, trailing 30-24. Quarterback Michael Birdsong couldn’t find an open receiver and tried to scramble for the yardage, but EIU’s Jermiah Rainey and Nick Horne brought Birdsong down after he picked up seven yards, short of what the Golden Eagles needed, securing the 30-24 final. Tech led 17-3 with 1:39 left remaining in the first half, before the Panthers were able to score 10 points in the final 19 seconds as EIU scored on a Kimble 15-yard pass to Dennis Turner. On the kickoff, the Panthers forced a fumble at the Tech 28 and was able to get into field goal position to make it a 17-13 Tech lead at halftime. “We had chances to close the game out and we didn’t do it,” said Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield. “When

we’re up by 14 points with a minute to go in the first half, we have to finish the game off. It’s simple as that. “The momentum totally got zapped away from us. We should have gone in up 17-3, but we didn’t. But in the fourth quarter, the magic pill kicked in again and we started to think ‘hey, we’re pretty good,’ and we started playing again, moving the ball down the field. We just came up a little bit short.” The Panthers rolled up 523 yards of offense on 78 plays, led by Devin Church with 139 rushing yards on 25 carries as well as six catches for 54 yards. Quarterback Mitch Kimble threw for 323 yards on 21-of-36 passing with touchdown passes to Dennis Turner and Paul Gossage. Birdsong led Tech with 17 carries for 53 yards, while also passing for 294 yards on 26-for-38 with a touchdown pass to Jordan Smith, who had seven catches for 80 yards. Tech pulled together for 427 yards of offense on 70 plays and controlled possession for 33 minutes.

The Golden Eagles, however, saw two of their major standouts go down as Kip Patton and Yeedee Thaenrat both leave the game with injuries. In their place, Andrew Goldsmith ran nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown, while Dontez Byrd had six catches for 60 yards. Patton ended the game with three catches for 48 yards, while Thaenrat ended the game with four carries for 25 yards and a touchdown, while also catching four passes for 39 yards. Nick Madonia also kicked a 43-yard field goal to add to Tech’s scoring, improving his streak on field goals to eight. Defensively, Brandon Thomas intercepted a Kimble pass at the Tech 1 to prevent an EIU score. Clay Davis and Josh Poplar led the Golden Eagles with 15 tackles each, while Deontay Wilson and Elliott Normand each recorded double-digit stops with 11 and 10 respectively. Nick Bruno hit three field goals for the Panthers (5-2, 3-1 OVC), connecting from 28, 29 and 23 yards. Darshon McCullough also had a one-yard touchdown run for EIU.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

20 21 OCTOBER 22, 2016 COOKEVILLE, TENN. COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Southeast Missouri threatened, but as the fourth quarter wound down, it wasn’t just the Tennessee Tech football team that was opposing them. Time was their enemy too. The Golden Eagles put together a tremendous defensive effort to close out the game, keeping the game scoreless in the final 20 minutes to hold on to a 21-20 Homecoming victory on Saturday. “It was a big win,” said Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield. “We know it wasn’t pretty, but it was proof that if we tried to play as hard as we could, we can overcome execution, we can overcome bad play calls, we can overcome anything. It was great that our seniors were leaders, they trusted the process and fought for four quarters, no matter what the momentum swings were and found a way to come out one point better than our opponent.” It wasn’t just the defense keeping points off the scoreboard – the Tech defense also put some on. Elliott Normand snagged a Jesse Hosket pass out of the air – only his second interception of the season in 230 passes – and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown. “Our defensive line was putting a lot of pressure on them,” Normand said. “I read the run and it was a play-action and I just don’t think the quarterback could see me because I was dropping back from the line of

scrimmage. I just intercepted it and got a couple of blocks from my teammates.” Satterfield said, “It’s really amazing, because he got Michael on that same play in camp, because you can’t see him. He’s not ‘Too-Tall’ Jones. He’s dropping back into coverage like Michael did and the ball got behind Elliott’s head. Elliott had to jump into the air, turn his body around and catch it. A lot of people fall when they land. When he lands, he runs and scores a touchdown. “We challenged our defense because we only got one takeaway in the last couple of weeks, but we challenged them to not just set up a score, but to score and that’s a huge credit to Elliott.” But Tech’s defense also kept the Redhawks out of the end zone, forcing Ryan McCrum to kick a 51-yard field goal in the first quarter, then a 30-yarder in the third – the final scoring play of the contest. McCrum also missed two touchdowns – a 35-yarder as the second quarter was expiring, then a 30-yarder with 11:53 remaining in the contest. Josh Poplar also played his part, collecting a career-high 16 tackles, including two for-loss. Clay Davis continued his prowess, collecting 15 stops, while Deontay Wilson had 10. Offensively, it looked like a completely different game. The Redhawks (2-5, 2-2 Ohio Valley Conference) led

379-244 on total offense, 197-170 on passing and 182-74 on rushing. Trailing 10-0 after the first quarter, Tech traveled 75 yards on 12 plays, scoring as Yeedee Thaenrat scored on a two-yard run. Then, just 17 seconds later, Normand returned the Hosket pass for a pick-six, the Nick Madonia PAT giving Tech a 14-10 advantage. The Redhawks retook the lead as Hosket threw a 47-yard strike to Kristian Wilkerson for a score, but with three minutes remaining in the first half, Dontez Byrd reached out in the end zone, snatching the pass thrown by Michael Birdsong out of reach from the SEMO defender for a 10-yard touchdown. Tech didn’t score in the second half, but with the way the defense was working, it didn’t have to. The Golden Eagles surrendered just the lone field goal, then shrewd clock management took care of the rest. Birdsong ended the game with 170 yards and a touchdown on a 14-for-23 passing day. Byrd caught eight of those passes for 97 yards and the touchdown. Thaenrat rushed for 51 yards on 10 carries. For SEMO, Hosket ended his day with 197 yards on a 15-for-27 effort. Wilkerson caught four passes for 116 yards. Will Young rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown.

Facing the University of Tennessee, the Golden Eagles were outmanned and outgunned by their Football Bowl Subdivision bigger brothers, but they were undeterred. The 55-0 defeat? Not unexpected, especially from a Volunteer team that had something to prove after a three-game skid. Tech (3-6) may have lost the day, but the experience gained will prove to be valuable down the line. “We knew the issues we had going in,” said Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield. “We knew the personnel advantage they had in every position. I thought we had a pretty good plan put together to try to attack that disadvantage, and we just wanted to come out and play as hard as we could, see what would happen and take care of the football. We did take care of the football for the most part. They just have a lot of speed outside, and it’s hard to cover if they protect for two or three seconds, and it’s hard for us to stay hip to hip with them in secondary. They made those big plays early. That really put us in the hole. “I was really proud of our kids for continuing to play hard. We didn’t care about the scoreboard. We just kept playing and tried to get plays when we could. We are always trying to win the game, but in the end, they never

quit, which is huge. Moving forward, we have two good games coming up. They’re conference games against Tennessee State and Murray State, so we can put this behind us, get back to Cookeville tonight and get ready to play Murray and Tennessee State next week.” In front of 98, 343 fans – the largest crowd for a Tech game in program history – the Golden Eagles also saw another best tied as Dontez Byrd matched the best tally for a Tech player in catches against an FBS opponent, tying the nine catches Brock McCoin had against Houston last season. Byrd ended the game with 121 yards on nine catches. “What you saw tonight is what he’s been doing all year,” Satterfield said. “He continues to get tougher as the season goes along. He had to make some one-onone plays today, which were not easy. He had acrobatic catches against some really good defenders. Michael Birdsong did a great job of putting him in a place where he could locate it and go make a play on the ball, but that’s what Byrd does. We’d like to get him some more carries with some jet sweeps moving forward, but at least we got the ball in his hands enough where he made somewhat of a difference, where we could get first downs and move the ball a little bit.” Offensively, Tech struggled, but that was much more the quality of opponent the Golden Eagles faced than miscues – though Tech did have its share of turnovers

as well with one interception. Tech also turned the ball over six times on failed fourth-down conversions, but just twice in its own territory. Numbers-wise, Tech put together 224 yards on 74 plays, while the Volunteers (6-3) had 471 yards on 52 plays. Michael Birdsong threw for 164 yards on 17-for-35 passing, while Andrew Goldsmith led Tech with 39 yards on seven carries and Yeedee Thaenrat had 33 yards on 14 totes. Joshua Dobbs and Josh Malone hooked up for two quick scores – a 30-yd pass and a 43-yd pass – to put the Volunteers up quickly, then John Kelly closed out the first-quarter scoring with a 73-yard touchdown run. Dobbs threw another touchdown strike to Jauan Jennings, then Carlin Fils-Aime ran for the first of his two touchdown runs. Aaron Medley put a 19-yard field goal through the uprights as the first half concluded, Tech trailing 38-0. Fils-Aime ran for his second touchdown in the third quarter, then, in the fourth, Medley kicked a 42-yard field. Marquez Callaway put the final touchdown on the board, returning a punt 62 yards for a score. Dobbs completed 12 of his 13 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Quinten Dormady threw for 109 yards on 9-for-13 attempts in relief. John Kelly ran for 104 yards on seven carries, while Malone caught five passes for 112 yards.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

16 44 NOVEMBER 12, 2016 NASHVILLE, TENN. NASHVILLE, Tenn. – When Tennessee Tech last had a field goal kicker set the school record for field goal distance, Nick Madonia wasn’t even born. But with a 57-yard kick, 14 yards longer than his career-best, Madonia didn’t just break the Tech record, he shattered it. However, that was only the tip of the iceberg as the Golden Eagles routed Tennessee State 44-16 on Saturday. “After a tough game last week (at Tennessee),” Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield said, “we went back to work and had a great week of practice. They worked hard every single day. This group is special. They responded from a bad game in a way that I expected them to. “From the first snap, they showed what kind of team they want to be. From the first snap, I felt like we had total control of the game, all because of our seniors and their leadership in the locker room.” The win is the first for the Golden Eagles at Hale Stadium since 1995. For Tech (4-6, 4-3 Ohio Valley Conference), the Golden Eagles claim a share of the Sergeant York Trophy for the first time since 2011, forcing a three-way tie with UT Martin and TSU. The Skyhawks, however, will get to keep the large trophy as the defending champion. Madonia saw his eight-consecutive field goal streak snapped as he missed his first attempt, but his kick

in the second quarter, with the wind blowing into the uprights made history. Murray Cunningham had Tech’s first 53-yarder in 1974. Ryan Weeks tied the record in 1993. But 42 years after the initial kick, 26 after the tying kick, Madonia knocked those players off the top of the charts, nailing a 57-yarder. The original plan in the situation was to punt, but Satterfield changed his mind and went for the longest field goal in Tech history. “I had no idea that it was a school record,” Madonia said. “They called a punt and I was yelling at Coach (Dantae) Wright and Coach Satt. I kicked a 58-yarder during pre-game warmups so I told them to put me out there. Thank God he called a timeout and put his faith in me. “It was just a normal field goal to me. I kicked it solid and made sure it went through. (After missing the first kick,) I still had confidence in me. I don’t miss often. Once I missed it, there was nothing more I could do about it and I just had to get ready for the next field goal.” The kick ties for the longest in the OVC this season. Madonia also recovered the onside kick to start that scoring drive, waiting for the right moment and grabbing the loose ball. “I found out that we were going to do that right before kickoff,” Madonia said. “I knew I was going to do it, so I

just had to get my mind right. I did it like I always do in practice and it worked.” Madonia ended the game with three field goals, hitting from 57, 39 and 33 yards, after missing from 45 in the first quarter. He has hit 11 of his last 12 tries and is 11for-14 on the season. “He’s money,” Satterfield said. “He’s a specialist who can do it all. He can do all the kicks, he’s got a great leg. I’m so excited that he got a chance to kick that and that’s going to be a hard one to break. I’m so proud of him, I’m proud of all of these guys and I can’t get back to work and get ready for the next game.” However, Madonia wasn’t the only one who had a monster game. Yeedee Thaenrat rushed 19 times for 164 yards and a touchdown, then picked up a 29-yard pass from Michael Birdsong to put together a 193 all-purpose yard day. The 164 rushing yards was the most for a Tech rusher since Darian Stone in 2012 against UT Martin. The 295 rushing yards as a team were the most since beating Cumberland in 2013. Dontez Byrd had two touchdowns in the game as he had 152 all-purpose yards – 112 yards and a touchdown receiving, six yards and a touchdown rushing and 34 yards on a kickoff return. Not to be outdone, Birdsong also rushed for a touchdown, while Matthew Leifheit was moved over to tight end and caught a three-yard touchdown pass.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

19 55 NOVEMBER 19, 2016 COOKEVILLE, TENN. COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When the Ohio Valley Conference released its preseason football poll back in July, the Tennessee Tech football team was picked seventh by the league’s coaches and SIDs, eighth by the league’s beat writers. When the season finally came to a close, the Golden Eagles proved them wrong. Not only that, Tech (5-6, 5-3 OVC) also showed a lot of potential for the future, closing out the first year of the Marcus Satterfield era with a third-place finish in the conference, routing Murray State 55-19 on Saturday afternoon at Tucker Stadium. “It was a magnificent finish to an unbelievable year,” said Satterfield. “Maybe not from a win-and-losses standpoint, but from a organization of growth and trust. We’ve really been branding these guys and for them to buy in their trust and understanding how we do things daily and see them have some success at the end of the season like they’ve had these last two weeks, it’s been really special to be a part of.” The Golden Eagles, who have scored 99 points in the last two games, compiled 523 yards of offense, including 210 rushing yards and 313 yards through the air. To score that many points in the last two weeks, it’s certainly a statement. “You run the football and you stop the run, you win the kicking game and win the turnover margin, everything else will take care of itself,” Satterfield said. “We pride

ourselves on being the hardest-playing football team in the country. We try to do that every day in practice, every game we play and the guys have come light years from the Wofford game until now. “All of them will probably tell you they wish they could start the season over, but that’s what adversity is there for. To create championship programs, we have to learn from the first part of the season and respond. We’ll carry that into the offseason, and hopefully that will catapult us into the upper echelon of this league and lead to championships.” Dontez Byrd had a record-setting day as his 14-catch, 198-yard effort broke both the Tech single-season receptions and receiving yardage records. Byrd ended the campaign with 933 yards on 74 catches. “I didn’t know that I was that close,” Byrd said. “My coaches just told me to go out there and play, to not worry about any records, just play football and that’s what I did. Senior quarterback Michael Birdsong threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns. He had a 43-yard strike to Byrd in the first quarter, a 29-yard score to Byrd in the second, then a 42-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hicks in the third. Colby Brown also got into the touchdown pass game, throwing a 20-yard scoring pass to Jordan Smith with 5:11 remaining in the contest. Tech also had two rushing touchdowns as Yeedee Thaenrat scored on a five-yard run, then Maleek Hall

had a five-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter. Thaenrat, for the second straight week, rushed over 100 yards, picking up 118 yards on 15 carries, averaging 7.5 yards per tote. “I give the offensive line the credit,” Thaenrat said. “It was tough, but I knew they had it in them. They finally found a way to see that they are the best offensive line in the OVC. They played that way these last few weeks. They found ways to make holes. My instincts just took over.” It wasn’t just the offense scoring as Deven Sullivan picked off a pass from K.D. Humphries, returning it 37 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Hall also picked off a pass from the Murray QB. “I was honestly just seeing the energy of this team,” Hall said. “It wasn’t anything that I did personally. I was just playing off the energy of the sideline, of the players on the field. It was a collective deal.” Nick Madonia didn’t have a 57-yard field goal this time, but he kicked a 37- and a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter, then added seven extra points for 13 points in the contest, one shy of the 14 he scored last week at Tennessee State. Connor Mitchell kicked a pair of field goals – 33 and 38 yards – in the second quarter to score Murray State’s first six points, then the Racers scored 13 points in the fourth quarter as Mareio McGraw scored on a one-yard run, then Humphries threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Malik Golson.

#TECHTUFF #WINGSUP

uarterback Michael Birdsong was named the recipient of the 2016 Robert Hill Johnson Award. Robert Hill Johnson, a native of Sparta, Tenn., was a student and assistant football coach at Tennessee Polytechnic Institute when he was killed in an auto accident on January 14, 1952, at the age of 22. The son of Mr. and Mrs. A.E. Johnson, he attended White County High School and was a standout in football for one year. He then transferred to The Baylor School in Chattanooga where he earned three football letters. He enrolled at the University of Alabama, but a shoulder injury ended his playing career. In the fall of 1951 Johnson became a student at TPI, where he also coached offensive and defensive ends. After just one season at TPI, Johnson was killed instantly when his car crashed into a concrete bridge railing at Cripple Creek, about seven miles east of Murfreesboro, on U.S. Highway 70. The Jan. 25, 1952, edition of the Tennessee Tech Oracle said Johnson “exemplified all that is fine and good in the great game of football,” and urged that the university do something to honor his memory. Since then, Tech’s highest football honor has been called the Robert Hill Johnson Award. It is presented annually to the player who makes the largest contribution to Tech during the season and is selected by members of the football team. The first winner, based on his play during the 1951 season under Coach Johnson, was end Flavious Smith, now in the Golden Eagle Sports Hall of Fame. Among the other winners of the award have been all-Americans Tommy Hackler, Jim Youngblood, Larry Schreiber, Robert Taylor and Chad Evitts. In 2007, Larry Shipp captured a share of the award for the third consecutive year. Schreiber captured the honor in 1967, 1968 and 1969.
