There has been a Tennessee State University Football player on every Ohio Valley Conference pre and post-season squad since the Tigers became eligible for a championship in the league. Anthony Pleasant highlights the list becoming the first preseason and post season All-OVC pick for the Tigers. Jim Lackey was the first Tiger selected to three preseason squads while gaining post season honors twice.

That season, he became the Tigers’ first OVC Offensive Player of the Year. Leon Murray would follow winning the OVC Player of the Year Award in 1998. The next season, Lamar Carter accomplished a similar feat, becoming TSU Football’s first ever OVC Defensive Player of the Year in 1999.

TENNESSEE STATE 33 Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State Tigers opened their 2011 football season with a resounding 33-7 win over the Jaguars of Southern University in the John Merritt Classic, played in front of 25,209 fans at Nashville’s LP Field.

Memphis, Tenn. - The Tennessee State Tigers, playing a valiant first half fell 29-35 to the Jackson State Tigers at the Southern Heritage Classic in Memphis, Tennessee (09/10). The loss dropped TSU to a 1-1 record in the early season.

TSU rolled up 512 yards of Total Offense (342 rushing, 170 passing), while limiting Southern to 300 yards of Total Offense (37 rushing, 263 passing). The 342 rushing is a JMC record eclipsing TSU’s 279 yards against Alabama State in 1999. The 512 yards of Total Offense ranks second (530 vs. Alabama State, 1999). Southern’s 37 yard rushing total was the second lowest by a team in the John Merritt Classic (13, Alabama A&M, 2009). The Tigers rolled up a JMC record 29 first downs (20 rushing, 8 passing, 1 penalty) while allowing just a record low 12 first downs by the Jaguars ( 1 rushing, 9 passing, 2 penalty).

It was also the second straight loss to Jackson State in the Southern Heritage Classic after TSU had won seven straight in the current series. It marked the first time Jackson State has won back-to-back wins over Tennessee State since they won three in a row during the 1995, 96 and 97 seasons. Tennessee State now holds a 10-9 record against Jackson State in the Southern Heritage Classic and a 23-20-2 record in the overall series between the two schools. On the game, TSU gained 377 yards of Total Offense (78 rush, 226 pass), while yielding 477 yards of Total Offense (140 rush, 337 pass) to Jackson State. TSU earned 16 first downs (5 rush,10 pass, 1 penalty) while Jackson State earned 22 first downs (8 rush, 12 pass, 2 penalty).

Individually, several Tigers turned in stellar performances. Sophomore running back Trabis Ward had a career day rushing for 141 yards on 18 carries with 1 TD. Ward racked up 157 yards in All-Purpose yardage. Senior safety Joe Wylie opened the TSU scoring with a 59 yard interception for a touchdown in the first quarter (9:58). Senior linebacker Rico Council led the Tigers’ defense, recording 9 (solo) tackles, with 3 tackles for loss (17), 2 sacks (12) and 1 interception (4).

Tennessee State quarterback Jeremy Perry passes for 226 yards (21-31-2) and 2 TDs. WR Travis James gained 115 yards on 3 receptions with 1 TD. TSU’s top rushers were Trabis Ward with 35 yards (13 carries) with 1 TD and Dante’ Thomas with 34 yards (13 carries). SCORES BY QUARTER Tennessee State Jackson State

On the game, Tennessee State put 13 points on the board in the first quarter after Wylie’s 59-yard interception return (9:58) and Trabis Ward’s 5-yard touchdown blast (6:01) for a 13-0 lead after a missed PAT. SCORES BY QUARTER Southern Tennessee State 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

Murray, Ky. - The Tennessee State Tigers got off to a slow start against the Murray State Racers, falling behind 17-0 in the first quarter, and never recovered as they absorbed a 58-27 loss in the OVC opener for both teams. The Tigers took the opening kick-off and went three-and-out on their first possession in just 0:29. After a short 18-yard punt, the Racers drove 55-yards in five plays and booted a 20-yard field goal with 13:42 remaining in the first quarter. TSU was unable to gain a first down on their next two possession and Murray State passed for TDs of 19 and 34 yards to build a 17-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Murray State scored first (13:27) for a 24-0 lead before the Tigers got on the scoreboard (11:46) on a Dante Thomas 5-yard run after a 7-play 73-yard drive to make the score 24-7. The Racers went on to outscore TSU 20-10 for the rest of the quarter for a 44-17 lead at the half. By the half, Murray State had amassed 466 yards of total offense (437 passing, 29 rushing) and the Tigers had 182 yards of total offense (63 passing, 119 rushing).

Colorado Springs, Colo. - The strong rushing attack from the Air Force Academy pushed the Falcons to a 63-24 victory over Tennessee State University in front of 33,487 at Falcons Stadium on Saturday afternoon. In total, Air Force (2-1) amassed 595 yards on the ground attack, while throwing 197 yards for a schoolrecord 792 yards. Tennessee State (1-3) put together 394 total offensive yards, including 206 passing yards. Redshirt-freshman Mike German had a career day, completing six attempts for 172 yards and a touchdown. Senior Jeremy Perry came in for TSU, throwing 3-for-7 with 34 yards and a touchdown pass. Defensively, TSU forced three Air Force fumbles and recovered two.

Statistically, the Tigers allowed 707 yards of total offense (630 passing, 77 rushing) while gaining 375 yards of total offense (207 passing, 168 rushing). Murray State gained 37 first downs, to TSU’s 17 first downs. The 58 points scored on the Tigers is the second most in program history, only bettered by 63 points scored on TSU by Tennessee Tech in 2001.

On the ground, Trabis Ward totaled a team-leading 98 yards with a touchdown. Calvin McNairl led TSU with two catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Devin Wilson followed with four receptions for 88 yards.

AUSTIN PEAY

TENNESSEE STATE 55

Clarksville, Tenn. - Tennessee State University put together an offensive showing of 400-plus yards, but suffered a heart-breaking defeat as a late field goal by Austin Peay gave the Governors the 37-34 victory over the Tigers in front of 8,614 at Governors Stadium on Saturday evening.

Nashville, Tenn. - An offensive explosion was the best way to describe Tennessee State’s 55-3 demolition of Southeast Missouri in front of 6,234 at LP Field on Saturday evening. The Tigers (2-4, 1-2 OVC) compiled a season-best 536 total offensive yards, throwing for 270 yards and rushing for 258 yards. TSU tied the most points scored since defeating Tennessee Martin in 2001. Tennessee State outnumbered the Redhawks 31-to-11 in first downs.

The Tigers (1-4, 0-2 OVC) were on top for 58 minutes during the game before Austin Peay (2-2, 2-0 OVC) tallied 10 points in the fourth quarter to win the game. The Governors outscored the Tigers 24-to-7 in the second half to snag the victory.

SEMO (1-4, 1-2 OVC), the defending Ohio Valley Conference Champions, were held to 158 offensive yards and just three points.

TSU mustered 466 total offensive yards with 304 yards passing and 162 rushing. Austin Peay notched 431 yards, including 314 in the air. Tennessee State gave up two fumbles in the contest.

The win snapped a nine-game conference losing streak for the Tigers, marking their first OVC win since defeating Eastern Illinois on Nov. 19, 2009.

Quarterback Michael German completed 21 passes out of 26 attempts for a career-best 304 yards and two touchdowns. The redshirt freshman has not thrown an interception in 68 pass attempts this season.

The vaunted rushing attack was led by tailback Trabis Ward racked up 135 yards rushing, carrying the ball 17 times and totaling two touchdowns. Senior Dante’ Thomas inked 90 yards and a touchdown.

German became the first Tigers quarterback to reach 300-plus yards since Shannon Harris on Nov. 22, 2001. His completion percentage of 80.7 was the second-best performance all-time at TSU and the first since quarterback Antonio Heffner’s 79.3 percent in 2008.

E. KENTUCKY

Cookeville, Tenn. - It came down to the wire, but Tennessee State staved off a Tennessee Tech comeback as the Tigers captured a 42-40 victory over the 19th ranked Golden Eagles in front of 8,676 fans at Tucker Stadium.

Richmond, Ky. - Defensive pressure and a strong Eastern Kentucky rushing attack pushed the Colonels to a 33-22 victory over Tennessee State University in front of 10,800 fans at Roy Kidd Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Tennessee State (3-4, 2-2 OVC) led by as many as 22 points in the second half before TTU (4-2, 3-1 OVC) scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.

TSU (3-5, 2-3 OVC) took an early three point lead, but EKU (4-3, 3-1 OVC) never looked back taking a 14-6 advantage into the half. The Tigers cut the deficit to five points in the fourth quarter, but an EKU touchdown late in the game gave the Colonels their third consecutive victory.

Tennessee Tech connected a 10-yard touchdown to cut the Tigers lead to 42-40 with 15 seconds remaining. The Golden Eagles initially recovered the onside kick attempt, but it was ruled that the kick did not reach 10 yards, giving the Tigers the ball and subsequently ending the game. Saturday’s victory gave TSU a win over a ranked opponent for the first time since defeating No. 13 Eastern Illinois 21-10 on Nov. 19, 2009.

Senior Jeremy Perry completed nine passes for 194 yards and a touchdown. Perry connected on a careerlong 89 yard pass to Calvin McNairl in the fourth quarter to the cut TSU’s deficit to 27-22 with eight minutes remaining.

In total, TSU racked up 398 offensive yards with 232 from the air and 166 on the ground. The Tigers defense forced four turnovers to help catapult the Tigers to victory. SCORES BY QUARTER Tennessee State Tennessee Tech 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

Charleston, Ill. - Tennessee State University used an all-around effort in the Tigers’ 18-17 victory over Eastern Illinois on Saturday afternoon at O’Brien Field. TSU tallied 13 points in the fourth quarter to pick up their fourth win of the season.

Nashville, Tenn. - Trailing by 17, Tennessee State University stormed back to score 21 points in the second half, defeating UT Martin 35-30 in front of 19,537 at the 2011 Homecoming held at LP Field. It was the second week in a row that Tennessee State (5-5, 4-3) trailed double-digits, but found a way to pull out the victory. Last weekend TSU trailed by 14 to Eastern Illinois early in the fourth quarter before edging the Panthers, 18-17.

Tailback Trabis Ward added two rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter as the Tigers (4-5, 3-3 OVC) drove 70-plus yards on two drives to pick up a crucial road victory over EIU (2-8, 1-7 OVC) in front of 6,774 fans.

TSU took the lead with 6:34 left in the third quarter and never surrendered, despite UT Martin (5-5, 4-3) narrowing the gap on two occasions. The Skyhawks made it a 35-30 game with 2:55 left and recovered the onside kick.

TSU put together a 15-play drive to make it a 17-12 contest with 14:28 left in the contest. With 1:49 remaining, the Tigers capped off a 77-yard drive with a Ward one-yard rushing touchdown. The defense used stealthy protection to force the Panthers to drop a fourth down pass, giving the Tigers the win.

However, Tennessee State used a strong defensive stand forcing a turnover on downs and earning a share of the Sgt. York Trophy for the first time since 2008. The trophy is battled out between the four OVC institutions in the state of Tennessee. If Austin Peay loses to Tennessee Tech next weekend, the Tigers will gain possession of the trophy. The win also gave the Tigers their first winning record in the OVC since 2008.

Eastern Illinois failed on all five fourth down conversion attempts against the Tigers. TSU grinded out 318 yards of offense overcoming two turnovers. The rushing attack proved solid as the Tigers netted 200 yards on the ground. The Big Blue defense forced three fumbles and picked up an interception. Daniel Fitzpatrick once again led the Tigers with nine tackles and a half tackle-for- loss. Senior linebacker Rico Council notched four tackles, a tackle-for-loss and a pass breakup. Justin Bather and Joseph Wylie picked up fumble recoveries, while Wilson Robinson had his first career interception. SCORES BY QUARTER Tennessee State Eastern Illinois 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

2011 season recaps GAME 11

Nov. 19, 2011 • LP Field • Nashville, Tenn. • 6,137

JACKSONVILLE ST. 38 TENNESSEE STATE 16 Nashville, Tenn.- Tennessee State dropped the final game of the 2011 season to Jacksonville State Saturday afternoon in front of 6,137 fans at LP Field. The Gamecocks ended the Tigers hope for a share of the Ohio Valley Conference regular season title with a 38-16 loss. The Tigers finished the season 5-6, 4-4 in the OVC. Jacksonville State improved to 7-4 and claimed a share of the OVC regular season championship at 6-2. The Tigers were stopped on three plays to start the game, but Coach Rod Reed’s gamble of a fake punt paid off as freshman punter Matt Moseley completed an eight yard pass to Darrien Hanna at the TSU 44 to keep the drive alive. The Gamecocks would stand tall on the drive and create some early momentum which they turned into points on their first possession. Redshirt-freshman Daniel Fitzpatrick led TSU in tackles for the fifth consecutive week with eight tackles, .5 for loss. Antonio Harper and Lawrence Peterson each recorded one sack. Tennessee State did capture the Sgt. York trophy as Tennessee Tech defeated Austin Peay on Saturday afternoon. It is the third time the Tigers have held the trophy that goes to the annual winner of the quadrangular season series between the four OVC institutions from Tennessee.

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 172-331. 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 Classic also provides an opportunity for community outreach with its weekend of activities.

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.
