THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Entering its 66th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh fulltime Commissioner in league history. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant

scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans.

draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Kentucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in the same school year. The OVC sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round

Founded in 1912, Tennessee State University has grown dramatically from a small college to two campuses: the 500-acre main campus and the downtown Avon Williams campus which is located in the heart of Nashville near the State capitol. The diverse student population of more than 8,000 represents 46 states and 45 countries. TSU has been listed for 11 consecutive years in the U.S. News & World Report “Guide to America’s Best Colleges.” Tennessee State University is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational land-grant university offering 45 bachelor degrees and 24 master’s degrees. Doctoral programs include biological sciences, psychology, public administration, computer information systems engineering, administration and supervision, and curriculum and instruction. When you think about Tennessee State University, many things come to mind – a rich heritage and legacy in athletics, academics, entertainment, research and service. Tennessee State University has long been a rising star among universities across the country. It is designated as one of the best public historically black colleges and universities in the nation, and it’s not by accident. Tennessee State University is among the few historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, the oldest and largest freshman honor society in the United States and a Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, the most prestigious honor society comprising all academic disciplines. A great deal of focus has been given to improving the academic environment – strengthening our research reputation, attracting and retaining the best and brightest students, encouraging service-focused programs, engaging and supporting expert faculty in diverse fields, building on our student-centered philosophy and holding steadfast to our motto of “Think. Work. Serve.”

#BigBlueRising

Complimenting the main campus is a newly renovated downtown campus that features a simulated stock-trading center, a student computer laboratory and continuing education, distance learning and multimedia services. The university is arming students with the intellectual resources to compete in a global environment. In support of that, important partnerships have been established with leading global companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, Dell, IBM and others, in which both funding and service-learning opportunities are currently active.

The DAVIS BUILDING is topped by its landmark cupola and houses the Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy and the Thomas E. Poag Auditorium. The building, which once housed the administrative offices, is named after TSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second president Dr. Walter S. Davis. KEAN HALL, a simplified Art Deco style gymnasium erected in 1951 at a cost of $1,500,000 was dedicated Wednesday, November 25, 1953. The structure is located on the south side of the campus at John Merritt Boulevard and 33rd Avenue, North and is named after former TSU Football head coach and Athletic Director, Henry A. Kean. The building contained at the time of its construction: a gymnasium, health, physical education and recreation classrooms, laboratories, staff offices, and facilities for indoor intramural sports, staff and student recreation and physical therapy. The building was vacated in 1980 when the HPER moved to the new Gentry Center Complex. The $300,000 renovation, approved in 1986-1987, connected the building to the Floyd-Payne campus center in 1991. The building became a recreational facility for the general campus population. It also serves as the headquarters for the Air Force ROTC, TSU Athletics and the academic and Hall of Fame.

The PERFORMING ARTS CENTER is located adjacent to the east side of the existing Strange Music Building. The facility houses the Theater, Television, Radio and Music Departments and includes a complete renovation of the Strange Music Building. A performance theater seating for 400 was constructed as part of the new building. Theater department spaces include classrooms, support spaces and offices. Rehearsal and production facilities are provided for television and radio departments, as well as offices and support areas. The music department has new laboratory facilities, practice rooms, classrooms, offices and an expanded band practice room and support facilities. The project included approximately 30,400 sq. ft. of renovated space (the Strange Music Building) and 43,000 sq. ft. of new construction.

The FLOYD-PAYNE CAMPUS CENTER contains various student and administrative offices, campus bookstore, post office, and dining services. The Center is named after former TSU student and fifth president, Otis L. Floyd, and long-time Dean of Students and Vice-President of Student Affairs, Joseph A. Payne. The BROWN-DANIEL LIBRARY was erected in 1976 and opened for service during the summer of 1977. This present structure has 82,000 square feet of space with special study and research facilities for faculty and graduate students, and a Special Collections Room which houses the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical archives, theses, dissertations, and other special materials. The library is named in memory of Library Directors, Martha M. Brown and Lois H. Daniel.

The AVERITTE AMPHITHEATER located in the center of campus; landscaped and has permanent seating for 200. The structure is named after Laura M. Averitte, author of Tennessee State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alma mater.

He served as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator during the 2009 season. Reed experienced immediate success as a head coach, leading the Tigers to a win in his debut game, 27-14, over Alabama A&M on Sept. 4, 2010 in the John Merritt Classic. He also broke an eight-game losing streak to Florida A&M, downing the Rattlers, 29-18, in the Atlanta Classic. Reed coached six players to All-OVC Teams including safety Eugene Clifford who also was a Sports Network, Phil Steele and BOXTOROW All-American. The Tigers increased their win total in their second season under Reed and finished the 2011 season on a hot streak, winning four of their last six games. The stretch included a, 42-40, upset win at No. 19 ranked Tennessee Tech on Oct. 15. Reed produced even more All-OVC players in year two, as seven made postseason squads. Two more defenders garnered All-American honors under Reed’s tutelage in linebacker Rico Council and Joseph Wylie. He also helped Lamar Divens and Sidney Tarver ink NFL contracts. Big Blue continued its success in 2012 by rattling off seven straight victories to open the season. The Tigers finished the year with an 8-3 record, its best since 2001. The performance earned TSU HBCU Program of the Year honors by HBCU Huddle. Several players earned postseason accolades including running back Trabis Ward who was named to the College Sports All-American Team after running for 1,460 yards and 15 touchdowns. Three more Tigers were Sheridan All-Americans including Sherman Carter who signed an NFL deal with fellow offensive lineman Rogers Gaines following suit.

Reed turned in his finest season to date in 2013, as the Tigers finished 10-4 and won a FCS Playoff Game for the first time since 1986. It capped an impressive run in which Reed improved his club’s win total by at least two in each of his first four campaigns. TSU won its first HBCU National Championship since 1982 and the

team’s shutout win over Butler in the first round of the playoffs was the first victory for the OVC in postseason play in nearly 30 years.

Middle linebacker Nick Thrasher tallied 128 stops on the season, which was sixth-most in a single-season in school history and the highest total for a Tiger since 1991. Thrasher also moved up to second-place in tackles in the TSU record book over the course of the season, finishing with 358.

Reed is the son of Robert Reed, Jr., an All-America offensive guard for the Tigers in 1963 and 1964 who later played professionally for the Washington Redskins. Reed is the university’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes representative and in 2009 he participated in the NCAA Football Coaches Academy. He and his wife, Tamika, are the parents of four children, Terry, Takara, Briah, and Marcel.

He began coaching at TSU in 2003 and served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. At the conclusion of the season in which Reed returned to the TSU sideline, the Tigers led the OVC in total defense for the first time in school history. The defense accomplished the same feat in 2008 finishing at the top of the OVC in total defense. A keen recruiter as an assistant, Reed was responsible for bringing several notable key players into the TSU program. Reed is noted for recruiting Javarris Williams (2009 seven-round draft pick, Kansas City Chiefs), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (2008 first-round draft pick, Arizona Cardinals), Shaun Richardson, Lamar Divens (Baltimore Ravens, 2008) and Cornelius Lewis. He has also coached All-America and professional player, Jamar Landrom (Jacksonville Jaguars). Reed was a four-year letter winner for the TSU Tigers from 1984 - 1988. He capped off his career by being named Sheridan All-America his senior season. He set the Tiger record for career tackles from his linebacker slot and in 1987, he set the single season record for tackles with 197.

The offense averaged 32.3 points and 415.1 yards per game despite losing starting quarterback O’Shay Ackerman-Carter early in the third game of the season. Ronald Butler started the final eight game of the season and was responsible for 28 touchdowns leading all OVC signal callers. Butler finished 137-of-234 for 2,014 yards, averaging 251.8 yards per game which would be 21st in FCS and 2nd in the OVC.

9TH YEAR

4TH YEAR

EHRENFELD OL Russ Ehrenfeld enters the eighth year of his third stint at Tennessee State after spending three seasons at Chattanooga.

BRADFORD TEs Antonio Bradford joined the TSU staff in the fall of 2015 after spending ten seasons as an assistant coach at his Alma Mater, Alabama State University. He will work with the tight ends and tackles with the Big Blue.

Since returning, Ehrenfeld has produced numerous professional linemen, including four NFL draft picks in a two year span. Kadeem Edwards and Demetrius Rhaney were taken in the 2014 draft, while Robert Myers and Anthony Morris were selected in 2015. This marked the first time in TSU history that four lineman were drafted during a two year period.

In 2016, Bradford helped in the training of All-American Jessamen Dunker who went on to sign a free agent contract with the New York Giants.

In 2016, Jessamen Dunker and Kevin Kenton were All-Ohio Valley Conference selections and both earned invites to NFL camps. Dunker earned All-American honors and signed a free agent contract with the New York Giants. Kenton was invited to the New York Jets rookie minicamp

Working with the offensive line, Bradford’s unit opened the hole for the Hornet runners for a SWAC-leading 231.5 yards per game, good enough for 14th among the Football Championship Series (FCS) schools. Throughout his tenure, he also served as video coordinator, assistant recruiting coordinator, assistant head coach and interim head coach for ASU.

Prior to his return, Ehrenfeld helped the Mocs allow only nine sacks in 2009, tied for fewest in the Southern Conference and third lowest in the nation. UTC did not allow a sack for the last four games of the season, including a trip to FBS National Champion Alabama in the season finale.

The former Hornet was a three-year starter at left guard from 2002 to 2004. His teams won back-to-back Eastern Division titles in 2003 and 2004, and won the ASU’s second SWAC football championship in 2004.

In 2010, he turned his attention to the centers and guards, helping T.J. Hurless earn a spot on the All-SoCon second team. Add in Chris Harr and Ehrenfeld has guided two Mocs to all-league honors in his two years at UTC.

Bradford was a member of an offense that was the most prolific in America and featured – among others – former Alabama State standout Tarvaris Jackson, who went on to be drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the second round in 2006, and current member of Super Bowl XLVIII champion Seattle Seahawks.

In 2011, Ehrenfeld coached tight ends, helping the Mocs to a 5-6 overall record, including a 38-17 win at then ranked No. 10 Jacksonville State on Sept. 10. Faysal Shaffat was a 2011 All-Southern Conference freshman tight end for the Mocs.

Bradford, who began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at ASU, holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in general counseling. He and his wife, Faith, have one daughter, Autumn.

In his second stop at TSU, Ehrenfeld’s offensive line set the tone for the No. 1 rushing offense in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2007 and 2008 while allowing just the second fewest number of sacks in the league. All totaled, he has coached more than ten offensive lineman that have gone on to play professionally. Ehrenfeld previously coached the offensive line at TSU for three seasons (1997-99), helping the Tigers capture backto-back OVC championships in 1998 and 1999. Notably, four linemen from the 1999 team went on to play in the NFL. A native of Hillside, N.J., Ehrenfeld played four seasons at Chattanooga, helping the Mocs claim three SoCon titles as a starting offensive guard. He earned his bachelor’s degree in secondary education-history in 1981. Following graduation, Ehrenfeld’s first coaching position was at TMI Academy as the offensive line coach. His first collegiate position was as a graduate assistant at the University of South Carolina, where he had the opportunity to coach the Gamecocks in the 1984 Gator Bowl. Since then, he has also coached at Austin Peay (1985-87, 95-96), Itawamba Community College (1988-89), Southeast Missouri State (1990-92), Eastern Michigan (1993-94), Alabama State (2000) and Bucknell (2001-02).

2018 SEASON PREVIEW

Tennessee State is coming off their fifth non-losing campaign over the past six seasons. The Tigers hope to continue the trend as they enter the 2018 season with eight returning starters on offense. The defense ranked seventh in the nation, and second in pass defense, under first year defensive coordinator Gary Fisher, but will look to replace seven starters.

touchdown performance against Michigan State. With Harris moving to wide receiver, the Tigers will look for depth from transfers Kalen Whitlow and Cameron Rosendahl, along with freshman Solomon Cummings.

Chris Rowland

The Big Blue held opposing teams to 164.5 yards through the air and returns three starters in the backfield. Safeties LaQuarius Cook and sophomore Vincent Sellers are joined by junior cornerback Dajour Nesbeth. Juniors Neiman Armstrong and Shakur Jackson are back to provide depth along with transfers Nick Harper, Jr. and John Robinson IV as they try to replace Terrell Bonds. The recent graduated corner led the unit with four interceptions a year ago. The defense will look to replace all-conference performers Chris Collins, Ebo Ogundeko and Jason Morrow. Collins was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field general at middle linebacker and led TSU with 97 tackles, 13.0 for loss. Ogundeko was a two-time All-American performer at defensive end and a three-time All-OVC selection. The offense will have to replace one of the top threats in TSU history with the departure of Patrick Smith. The wide receiver led the Tigers in receptions (42), receiving yards (648) and touchdowns. Smith also closed out his career with the third most receiving touchdowns in program and OVC history. Head coach Rod Reed and offensive coordinator Jeff Parker still posses one of the more dangerous receivers in the conference in Steven Newbold. The offense also enters with experience as they feature their top five rushers from a season ago and three of the top four receivers. The unit looks to regain its 2016 form with the help of four returning linemen.

QUARTERBACKS Michael Hughes started the final six games of the season after replacing Treon Harris who was under center through the first five games. Harris threw for 729 yards and two touchdowns after completing 58 passes on 106 attempts. The senior added another 318 yards on the ground and crossed the goal line on three occasions. Hughes entered and led the OVC in efficiency at 143.8 as he went 86-for-162 for 1,304 yards and 15 touchdowns. The junior to be was picked off six times last season and looks to improve on his first action as a starter. Hughes will battle with Minnesota transfer Demry Croft for the main signal caller position. Croft took over for the Gophers half way through the season and started the final six games last year, which included a three

Micheal Hughes BACKFIELD The Tigers feature the top five rushers from a season ago. Sabree Curtis, Jr. led the running attack with 439 yards and was followed by Seth Rowland at 421 yards and two touchdowns. Fullback Andrew Knox and the versatile Chris Rowland trailed Harris in yardage gained. The backfield will have plenty of competition as Earl Harrison returns after suffering an injury that ended his season prematurely. Coach Reed added a pair of junior college thrashers who look to contribute immediately in Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;kendrick Roberson and DeMarco Corbin. Redshirt freshmen Shawn McColley and Jordan Bell also look to be in the mix for carries.

RECEIVERS Steven Newbold closed out his sophomore season with 34 receptions for 627 yards and four touchdowns. Newbold enters the season as an OVC Preseason All-Conference selection and will replace Smith as the

receiver to stop. Chris Rowland caught 17 passes in 2017 and hauled in his first career touchdown during the final game of the season at Jacksonville State. DeVon Johnson pulled in 10 passes and showed flashes of a big play receiver. Harris will bring his athleticism and dynamic play to the receiving corps. Transfer Major Bellamy, Jr. and redshirt freshmen Al-Malik Moore and Lawrence Segree II will add speed to the unit. Kyle Oliver, Aaron Cauthen and Miles Cavitt bring athleticism to the tight end position.

OFFENSIVE LINE The line enters the 2018 season with experience and depth. Thomas Burton, Jamahl Jelks, Chidi Okeke and Justin Brooks all return as starters. Burton will anchor the trenches at center for the fourth year and will be flanked by Lachavious Simmons at left guard. Simmons played in all 11 games, starting six at various spots, a year ago. The redshirt junior replaces departing senior Ty Allen, who started at center for the first four games due to an injury to Burton, before moving to guard. Newcomers Raekwon Allen, Jamahl Covington, Raymond Horton and Marlon Black, Jr. will provide depth, as well as provide competition for starts. Redshirt freshman Anthony Geter impressed during his first year with the Tigers and will push Burton for time at center.

Thomas Burton Blair Edwards

Thomas Newberg DEFENSIVE LINE

DEFENSIVE BACKS

The defensive line will have a new look, as the Tigers will replace four mainstays from 2017. Ogundeko, as well as tackles Terrence Summers and Jason Morrow have all departed due to graduation. Marvin Maddox, who started five games last season opposite Ogundeko, chose to end his collegiate career after earning his degree in the spring. Dell Porter returns with six starts under his belt from a season ago at defensive end. He will be pushed by Dante’ Ferguson, Jr. who played in 10 contests as a redshirt sophomore. Alabama transfer, Mekhi Brown, will replace Ogundeko after helping the Crimson Tide to a national championship in 2017. Jeremy Patterson, Khalil Jones and Justin Culpepper saw significant time last year and will anchor the middle of the line along with a pair of transfers.

The backfield looks to continue as the strength of the defense with Cook, Sellers, Nesbeth, Armstrong and Jackson. Harper learned the TSU system last season as he sat a mandatory year after transferring from Missouri State and impressed during the spring in his replacement of Bonds. Robinson brings added experience to the safety position, coming in for the spring semester from the University of Connecticut. True freshman Josh Green, brother of linebacker James Green, is expected to see time at corner in his initial collegiate season.

Dell Porter SPECIAL TEAMS LINEBACKERS Like the defensive front, the linebacking corps will showcase many new faces. Senior Blair Edwards as the lone starter after producing 59 tackles, the third highest amount by a defender last season. Edwards amassed 6.0 tackles for loss, including 2.0 sacks, two quarterback hurries, a forced fumble and two recoveries; along with two pass deflections and two break ups. Transfer Roderick Woods will provide depth behind Edwards, while fellow transfer Christion Abercrombie (Illinois) is penciled in to replace Collins in the middle. Newcomer Terry Straughter is expected to see time at middle linebacker as a freshman. Coach Reed will turn to James Green and Desmond Johnson to replace Justin North, who matched Edwards with 59 stops a year ago. The new set of linebackers has large shoes to fill replacing Collins and North who roamed the defensive as starters for the past three seasons.

Sabree Curtis

Lane Clark leaves a large hole for the Tigers after providing a lethal weapon for the special teams over the past four seasons. Clark leaves TSU as one of the most decorated kicker in program history. The twotime All-American produced eight of the top 11 longest field goals in school history and finished second in scoring as a kicker at TSU behind Jamin Godfrey, fifth overall trailing only Godfrey, Alfred Reese, Javarris Williams and Mike Jones. The Big Blue will look to three kickers to replace Clark, starting with redshirt junior Mitchell Boudreaux and highly touted freshmen Antonio Zita and Kaleb Mosley. Junior Thomas Newberg will handle the long-snapping duties for the third consecutive year. Newberg highlighted his sophomore campaign with a touchdown reception against Austin Peay.

Game 2 • Tennessee State 17, Jackson State 15

Quotes and Notes Defensive Coordinator Garry Fisher - On what he liked from the defense “They just fought. That was the biggest thing. They fought hard all night.

We gave up some yards and they got into the red zone a couple times, but we were able to hold them to field goals, which was huge for us tonight.” - On bending but not breaking “I thought we tackled well. They hit us with a couple of plays. Their passing attack was on point, so they found some creases in our defense, and they drove down there, but we work on red zone defense every day. We were able to hold them to field goals and come up with a big interception.” - On the defense coming up big “We take pride as a team. No matter how the game goes, we have to find a way to stop the other team’s offense. Both defenses played well but at the end of the night, our defense outplayed theirs.”

- On the punt return for a touchdown “It was a designed left return. As soon as I caught the ball I saw a lot of white jerseys on the left, so I knew it was going to be a good return.

We still have a long road ahead of us. We can’t look too far ahead in the season.” - On the positives of the defense “We just kept fighting. That’s one thing Coach Fisher told us. You don’t quit.

- On being 3-0 “It’s very important to be 3-0 right now. It builds confidence in the team. It helps you think about being 4-0, 5-0 and take it one game at a time.

We had a lot of mistakes that took us back on offense, but once we get it together, we’ll be very, very explosive and hard to stop.”

Quotes and Notes Middle Linebacker Chris Collins -On the game "The game didn’t go the way we wanted to go. We beat ourselves. There were high points, but they canceled out with the low points. We have to bounce back and harmonize as one, then everything else will work itself out." -On preparations for TN Tech "We’ll buckle down. We’ll watch extra film, do extra work and make sure everyone is on the same page – players and coaches." Quarterback Michael Hughes -On the game "It started off a little rough, eventually bounced back, but didn’t do a good job of finishing the game. We missed a lot of big opportunities and left a lot on the field. We didn’t finish like we were supposed to."

- On connecting with Steven Newbold “Newbold is really smart on the field. We talk a lot. We communicate on the field. I’m proud Newbold got seven catches. We’ve still got a lot of work to do. There was some stuff we missed, but it’s only up from here.” Defensive End Ebo Ogundeko - On the defense “I feel like we could have played a lot better. We started off pretty slow and it’s all up to us as the players to lock in and start off fast. We need to finish strong as well. We started to play better in the beginning of the second quarter, but we just need to play better as a defense and just finish out the season strong.” - On the turnovers forced by the defense “Those are big. Our coaches always emphasize on getting turnovers. Coach (Garry) Fisher and Coach (Rod) Reed both put an emphasis on getting turnovers. That helped us out, but we just have to play better in all three phases." GAME NOTES Captains were Lane Clark, Patrick Smith, Ebo Ogundeko and Chris Collins...

Game 9 • Tennessee State 60, Virginia University Lynchburg 0

Quotes and Notes Sophomore Quarterback Michael Hughes (Nashville, Tenn.) -On seeing the field “I’ve been getting more comfortable with the game. The receivers and I are connecting a little more, so it’s been great.” -On the game “It was a great opportunity to get better – that’s what I did, that’s what the whole team did. Hopefully we carry that on next week.” -On the Ronnie Killings touchdown “Ronnie is definitely great. He’s a good guy to come off the bench and go to. When he comes in, I feel just as comfortable with him as when Steve and Pat are in. It felt good to give him one.” Sophomore Wide Receiver Ronnie Killings -On first touchdown at TSU “It felt great. It felt like a long time coming, but it felt great to finally get into the end zone. I knew I was going to have the opportunity to get into the end zone, it just depended on if I was going to get the ball or not. Once I saw the ball and that I had the right position on the defender, I just went up for the ball and made the play.” Sophomore Linebacker Dante’ Ferguson, Jr. (Lithonia, Ga.) -On the game “Today was a good day for us defensively and offensively as a whole. We ran up the scoreboard, got defensive plays all across the board.”

It feels great to be back. Thank you, God.” -On the game “This game was a confidence booster. We plan on going out next week and attacking them, taking it one game at a time. Hopefully we’ll end up in the playoffs if we beat SEMO and Jacksonville State.” Junior Defensive End Marvin Maddox (Jacksonville, Fla.) -On VUL’s negative rushing yards “It’s a good [thing], but we have to carry that on to next week.

-On contribution to the 12th ranked defense in the country “It was my first interception ever, including high school. It feels good to have a pick six.

Game 10 • Tennessee State 23, Southeast Missouri 20

Quotes and Notes Head Coach Rod Reed -On the game “We talked in pre-game about the things we needed to do to be successful, and the main thing was to protect the football, dominate on our kicking game and dominate on both sides of the lines of scrimmage – win at the offense line, win at the defensive line and win at the line of scrimmage. Out guys came out and did that. We played hard. With the exception of a few big plays we gave up defensively, we did extremely well. Newbold gave us a shot when we needed it, giving us a good field position to make plays. L. Cook makes the checks in the secondary. SEMO does a lot in the secondary with motions and shifts and we did a good job defensively. Coach Fisher had a great game plan for this team, as did Coach Parker.” Senior Kick Lane Clark -On the game “It was intense. It came all the way down to the end. Both sides of the ball played hard and special teams was a big part of the game today.”

-On moving into No. 5 in all-time career points “Points don’t mean that much. It feels good, but when it comes down to it, I’m going to be ready regardless.” -On short week preparation “Same thing as every week – I’m starting to feel stronger. Protection has been doing really well. Each day we’re going to work special teams like we always do, hopefully I’ll be kicking a lot of PATs instead of field goals.” Sophomore Quarterback Michael Hughes -On the offense “It started off a little rough. I threw a pick six, but eventually we bounced back and put up some more points on the scoreboard. We came out the win.” -On pass options “Today was actually Steven Newbold. I think they were trying to double-team Pat because of what he’s produced in the past, but they left Steve 1-on-1 on the backside a lot, so I went to him and made big plays.” Senior Linebacker Chris Collins -On how he wants to finish out the season “I think Jacksonville State is top five in the nation, so a ‘W’ there… I would be satisfied. It’ll be a huge win for us.” NOTES TSU won the coin toss and chose to defer to the second half... Captains for TSU Lane Clark, Ebo Ogundeko, Chris Collins and Patrick Smith...

Game 11 • Jacksonville State 36, Tennessee State 6

Quotes and Notes Wide Receiver Patrick Smith - On his time at TSU “Even though we came up short today, the season didn’t turn out how we wanted it to in the end, I don’t regret anything about being here at TSU. Even the moments when we were down, I appreciate all of that because it’s a learning experience… I enjoyed every bit of it. I wish I could relive some of the moments.” Junior Linebacker Blair Edwards - On the play of the defense tonight “We’ve just got to capitalize and finish strong. We started well but the finish wasn’t as strong as we hoped it would be.” - On playing near his home town “It was just like feeling at home. Some of those guys on (Jacksonville State), I played against in high school, so I knew them and had played against them before.” - On his role next year “I just have to step up and lead. Tomorrow is not an off day. It’s a day that we start our next season, and that’s how we’re going to take it."

-On the entire offense returning "Personally, next year I want the entire offensive line to be better. The attitude I'm taking on for next year is, 'We got it.' If you want to run the ball, you can run it. If you want to throw the ball, you can throw it. It's on us." -On heading into spring ball "It's time to lock in. This season is a learning experience. We'll look at what went right and capitalize on that, then look at what went wrong and improve." Senior Linebacker Chris Collins -On defensive output "We came out pretty strong and were excited to play. It was our last one, so we had nothing to lose and we came out and had fun. Second half we tailed off. They came out of the locker room with plays we hadn't seen. We were still prepared for it, but we gave up big runs which messed us up." - On playing for Tennessee State "I appreciate the University for taking a chance on me. A lot of teams said I was too short, so them taking a chance on me was big. The number one thing is that I'll miss my brothers. It's like a family around here and I truly love every last one of them, so that'll be the biggest thing. It'll be hard saying bye."

WILLIAM JASPER HALE

Hale Stadium is a 15,000-seat outdoor stadium located on the campus of Tennessee State University. Built in 1953 and affectionately nicknamed “The Hole”, the stadium hosted TSU Tigers football games until 1999, home games were then moved to LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans. The facility was named for William J. Hale, who served as TSU’s first president. It remains in use as the site of TSU’s annual spring football game, as well as hosting Homecoming festivities. The stadium hosted a second-round NCAA Division I-AA playoff game in 1982, with the Tigers defeating Eastern Illinois University 20-19 in front of a crowd of 8,000. During their years at Hale, TSU Football went undefeated ten times, won ten championships in the now-defunct Midwestern Conference and claimed the Ohio Valley Conference championship in 1998, its final season in the stadium. In the last game at Hale Stadium, Tennessee State won 28-14 over Texas Southern University on November 21, 1998. In 2012, the Tigers returned to ‘The Hole’ . TSU hosted three games starting with Austin Peay on Sept. 15, 2012. The Tigers will continue to play some home contests in Hale Stadium moving forward.

The John Merritt Classic, first played in 1999, honors John A. Merritt, the legendary TSU football coach who led the Tigers from 1963-1983. During 21 seasons, “Big John” won four undisputed national championships among historically black colleges ranked by the Sheridan Poll, while compiling a lifetime record of 172-33-1. The JMC, one of only two football Classics solely hosted by a single NCAA FCS institution, is intended to allow Tennessee State to raise funds for scholarships and other related needs for TSU students.

THE SGT. YORK TROPHY In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University. The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor. Following the war, York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927, he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today. York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor. After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the institution with the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie, the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy. The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions which is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was created in 1999 and salutes amateur and professional sports in Tennessee.
