welcome to conference usa GENERAL HILLTOPPERS 2013 REVIEW HISTORY UNIVERSITY

WKU joins 13 other institutions - Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP and UTSA - to make up the 2014-15 membership of Conference USA, which is celebrating its 20th year of existence this year. The Conference USA footprint reaches over 10 states with a combined population of approximately 30 million. Conference USA sponsors competition in 19 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball). WKU will compete in 17 C-USA Championships, with the exception of only menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis.

Success is not limited to athletic achievement, however, as 186 Conference USA student-athletes have garnered Academic All-America honors, 651 have achieved academic all-district laurels and thousands of student-athletes have earned their college degrees. C-USA annually awards $4,000 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Awards, Scholar-Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Additionally, Conference USA presents a Spirit of Service Award three times each year, recognizing student-athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom and give back to the community through significant service efforts and participation.

Since beginning competition in 1995, Conference USA teams have combined for 83 bowl appearances in football, 100 NCAA Tournament appearances in basketball including three Final Fours, 60 NCAA baseball appearances including six College World Series berths, 71 NCAA soccer tournament appearances including four trips to the College Cup, and 35 individual national champions in track and field and cross country.

media information WORKING CREDENTIALS: To request credentials, contact the Athletics Media Relations (AMR) office. All requests should be made as early as possible and should be limited to working press only. Working space in the Houchens-Smith Stadium press box is limited and a photo work room is available on the ground level for credentialed photographers. Credentials will be screened and issued on a priority basis, with national publications, daily newspapers, wire services, originating radio and television networks, television tape crews and student newspapers from WKU and the visiting school receiving top priority. Requests from weekly newspaper, internet publications, and radio stations that cover WKU and the visiting team will be honored on a spaceavailable basis. Requests for credentials will be reviewed on a case-by-case, year-by-year basis. The Athletic Media Relations office has the final authority on whether any individuals from any organization will be issued media credentials. Space will also be made available to professional scouts. Complimentary tickets are not provided to the media. Spouses, dates, equipment carries and non-working members of the media are restricted from the pressbox, sidelines and interview areas. Any abuse of a credential to a WKU athletic event will result in the immediate removal of the media member from the event as well as the agency losing credential privileges for the remainder of the season. MEDIA WILL-CALL: If not received by mail, credentials may be picked up at the media “Will Call” table, located next to the press box elevators on the lower level of the east side of the stadium between gates 4 and 5. Please be mindful that parking passes cannot be picked up at will-call and must be received prior to gameday. PHOTOGRAPHERS: Credentials for photographers will be issued on the basis of circulation, with priority granted to agencies covering the participating schools on a regular basis. Credentials will not be issued to freelance photographers unless they are employed by a reputable publication or the AMR office of the participating schools. Per NCAA rule, images or likeness of current student-athletes may not be sold, distributed or used for commercial purposes. SIDELINE AREAS: Excluding select portions of the game, media sideline access is reserved for photographers/ videographers. Credentialed photographers/videographers who arrive at media “Will Call” without proper equipment will not be granted sideline access. When on the sideline, media must remain outside the bench area. This includes during pre-game activities.

FIELD ACCESS: Photographers are allowed access to the playing field at only two points throughout the course of the event: when the Hilltoppers enter the field immediately prior to kickoff and immediately following the game. RECRUITS: Per NCAA rule, media are not permitted to have contact with a prospect or family members of a prospect during their visit (official or unofficial) to campus, including prospects in attendance at practice or games. Contact includes in-person conversations, phone calls, text messages, e-mails, etc. Media are also asked to make every effort to keep distance from prospects on campus, including at practice, during pre-game activities on the sidelines and in the stands. GAMEDAY SERVICES: Members of the media covering WKU will be provided with pregame notes for both teams, a game program and a flipcard. Statistics and a running play-by-play will be handed out after each quarter. Approximately 30 minutes following the completion of the game, a final statistical book, including complete team and individual stats, running play-by-play and postgame quotes from players and coaches, will be available. The first run of books will be given directly to the visiting SID to allow for easy departure with their team. POSTGAME INTERVIEWS: For home games, Coach Jeff Brohm will hold a postgame news conference with the media in the team meeting room of Harbaugh Hall. AMR office representatives will be available to assist in postgame interviews. A member of the AMR staff will accompany members of the press wishing to go to the sidelines, beginning with five minutes remaining in the final quarter. WEEKLY PRESS CONFERENCE: Coach Brohm holds a weekly press conference each Monday during the season, beginning at 11:30 a.m. (CT), in the Paul Just Media Center inside E.A. Diddle Arena. Select players will also be available at the weekly presser. For media members unable to attend, a teleconference line is available. Contact Kyle Neaves for more information. PRACTICES: WKU football practices are open to media Tuesday and Wednesday for periods 1 through 4. Video is permitted for individual drills only during the open periods, although media may be alerted of other portions that are not available for video. Media should remain on the concrete strip on the East side of the stadium for photo and video purposes. Requests for players and assistants should be made by 11 a.m. on the day of practice.

Winning Seasons at Home

The stadium is named for the late L.T. Smith, who came to WKU in 1920 and established the industrial arts curriculum on campus. Smith headed that department until 1957 when he took over as administrator of the WKU Physical Plant. In 1963, Smith was named the Coordinator of New Construction, a post he held until his retirement in 1965. In addition to his other duties, Smith coached the Hilltoppers in 1920 and 1921 and the men’s basketball team during the 1921-22 campaign. He was instrumental in bringing the legendary E.A. Diddle, a member of both the Naismith and Helms Foundation Basketball Halls of Fame, to The Hill to take over the coaching duties in 1922. Smith, a member of the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame, also served as chairman of the school’s Athletic Committee almost continuously from the time he helped form it in 1922 until his retirement in 1965.

HOUCHENS-SMITH STADIUM

FEIX FIELD

Houchens-Smith Stadium and Jimmy Feix Field has been home to the Hilltoppers for over 40 years, although the facility has seen several phases of improvements since WKU played its first game there on Sept. 21, 1968.

Jimmy Feix was WKU’s first football All-American as a quarterback in 1952 and took over the head coaching job in 1968, leading Hilltopper football to some of its greatest seasons, concluding his illustrious 16-year stint at the helm with a school-record 106 wins.

In 2008, the stadium underwent a major $50 million expansion project, resulting in new locker rooms, meeting rooms, weight rooms, and training rooms. Ahead of the Conference USA move, the Hilltoppers also installed a brand new FieldTurf surface, complete with black endzones as voted on by WKU fans on WKUSports.com. The turf features FieldTurf’s most advanced fill technology with player safety as the foremost concern.

8 2014 HILLTOPPER FOOTBALL

The field inside Houchens-Smith stadium was named in his honor at the beginning of the 1991 season. Feix enjoyed a career in professional football before a four-year career in the armed forces. Feix returned to The Hill in 1957 as an assistant football coach.

houchens industries-L.T. Smith stadium THE HILLTOPPER NICKNAME

Since the summit of ‘The Hill’ rises 232 feet above nearby Barren River and the comparatively level plain that surrounds the hill, it was only natural that the student-athletes who represented the institution come to be known as ‘Hilltoppers’.

HILLTOPPERS 2013 REVIEW

The operations of Western Kentucky State Normal School were moved from the site of its forerunner, Southern Normal School, to a commanding hill in the southwestern portion of Bowling Green on Feb. 4, 1911. The move was completed as the entire student body marched to the new site, carrying various articles of school equipment along the way.

BROADCAST TEAM

HILLTOPPER BROADCAST TEAM Veteran play-by-play broadcaster Randy Lee, along with former Hilltopper quarterback and Athletic Hall of Famer Leo Peckenpaugh call the action of every Hilltopper football game. On the sidelines, former college star, NFL player and WKU assistant coach, Terry Obee, provides a unique perspective as well as interviewing the Hilltoppers following the game. Lee has served as the ‘Voice of the Hilltoppers’ since 2007, after spending five years on the broadcast team at Nebraska. Lee has been on the call for every major historical event in the Hilltoppers’ FBS history, including consecutive wins over Kentucky, WKU’s first FBS win as well as their first bowl game as members of college football’s highest division. Lee also serves as the host of the Jeff Brohm weekly radio show as well as the Hilltopper pre-game show.

18 2014 HILLTOPPER FOOTBALL

preseason notebook BUILDING CONSISTENCY WKU has established itself as one of the nation’s most consistent winners over the past three seasons, winning seven or more games in each of the past three years, including an FBS school-record eight wins in 2013. Only nine teams from ‘The Group of Five’ can make a similar claim. The Hilltoppers’ 22 wins from 2011-13 are also the most of any current Conference USA program.

KEEPING CONTINUITY Of the 14 schools to make a change at their head coaching position during this past offseason, only WKU was able to maintain continuity through the old and new staff. Coach Brohm is the only head coach this season who was on staff with his team at least the season before. Of those 14 teams that made coaching changes, only Brohm and four other have previous experience coaching within that program.

1,500 AND BEYOND Over the past four seasons, WKU is the only program to produce four-consecutive 1,500 yard individual rushers. In fact, the Hilltoppers are one of just four teams in NCAA history to have an individual eclipse the 1,500-yard rushing mark in four-straight seasons. Bobby Rainey posted back-to-back 1,600-yard rushing seasons during the 2010-11 seasons while Antonio Andrew became the 12th player in NCAA history to rush for over 1,700 yards in two-straight seasons, establishing the top two season rushing marks in WKU history in the 2012-13 campaigns.

CAPTAIN CLUTCH WKU quarterback Brandon Doughty was the only quarterback in the country to lead multiple gamewinning drives of 80 yards or longer during the 2013 season. Both of those game-winning drives came in two of the last three weeks of the season against Army and Arkansas State. Trailing Army 17-14 with 4:16 left in West Point, Doughty completed 5-of-6 passes for 73 yards in leading WKU down the field for the go-ahead touchdown with 32 seconds remaining. The Hilltoppers trailed Arkansas State 31-27 with 5:30 remaining in their season finale, but Doughty again delivered in the clutch, marching WKU 99 yards in 16 plays before throwing the game-winning touchdown pass to Willie McNeal with 10 seconds remaining.

NEW AND RENEWED WKU will face four first-time opponents in 2014, including fellow Conference USA members Old Dominion, UTEP and UTSA. The Hilltoppers will also visit Illinois on Sept. 6 in the first-ever meeting between WKU and the Fighting Illini. Of the 12 games on WKU’s schedule, 11 come against programs the Hilltoppers have faced five times or less in its 95-year history. WKU will also renew rivalries with former Sun Belt Conference foes Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic. The Hilltoppers will face Louisiana Tech for the first time since 1973, Marshall for the first time since 1996 and UAB for the first time since 1997. The 2014 WKU slate features four of the most experienced teams in the nation in UTSA, Army, Illinois and UTEP. UTSA returns the most starters (19) of any team in the country while Army (17), Illinois (16) and UTEP (16) all rank among the nation’s leaders in returning starters for 2014. NATIONAL LEADERS With Antonio Andrews leading the nation in allpurpose yards and Jonathan Dowling pacing the country with six forced fumbles in 2013, WKU has had two individuals lead the nation in statistical categories in back-to-back seasons. Andrews also led the country in all-purpose yards in 2012 while Quanterus Smith recorded a national best 1.25 sacks per game. The Hilltoppers are the first program since Texas Tech (2007-08) to have two individuals lead the nation in statistical categories in two-straight seasons.

20 2014 HILLTOPPER FOOTBALL

THOMAS AMONG NATION’S ELITE CORNERS Senior defensive back Cam Thomas, a 2014 Jim Thorpe Award Watch List member, ranked Top 20 nationally in passes defended (15) and interceptions (5). In addition, Thomas is one of seven returning defensive backs in the nation that posted a tackles-to-total passes defended ration of less than 3.0. Thomas’ 2.73 ratio of tackles to total passes defended ranks sixth among returning defensive backs in 2014. PLAYER

2014 outlook

Brohm and his staff combined to bring 238 years of college coaching experience to the table, including 64 years coaching collegiately in the state of Kentucky. The WKU coaching staff has made 88 bowl game appearances, 13 BCS bowl game appearances and won 51 bowl games overall.

BY THE NUMBERS Years of Combined Coaching Experience 238 BCS Bowl Game Appearances 13 Total Bowl Game Appearances 88 Bowl Game Victories 51 Years of Coaching College Football in KY 64 Even more impressive, for the last 19 years, at least one assistant on the Hilltopper staff has been coaching college football in the Commonwealth.

Brohm and Helton will head the offensive schematics for a unit that returns seven of its top nine receivers and its primary signal caller. In 11 years as an offensive assistant, Brohm’s offenses have combined to average more than 446 yards per game and 33 points per contest. Helton gets his first shot as a coordinator after 13 years of experience at Hawaii, Memphis, UAB and most recently Cincinnati. Defensive Coordinator and Associate Head Coach Nick Holt returns for a second season at the helm of the WKU defense. Holt’s unit led the Sun Belt Conference in total defense, scoring defense, passing defense, passing efficiency defense and interceptions in 2013 and ranked 14th nationally in total defense. He’ll be responsible for replacing seven starters, including the entire linebacker corps and three of four secondary pieces. Holt does return three of his four position coaches from 2013 in Ricky Brumfield (cornerbacks), Mike Cassity (secondary) and Don Dunn (defensive tackles). New to the group is 27-year coaching veteran Ken Delgado, who will head up the efforts with defensive ends after spending the past four season coaching Eastern Michigan’s defensive line. Offensive line coach Neil Callaway enters his 34th season on the college gridiron and should have a stout unit once more with four of five starters returning from last season. Nord has spent 28 of his

OPPONENTS

THE COACHING STAFF Despite the turnover that usually results when a shift in command is made, Brohm was able to retain six of WKU’s nine assistants from 2013 while adding three coaching veterans in Tyson Helton (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks), Greg Nord (running backs) and Ken Delgado (defensive ends). JaMarcus Shephard, who served as a quality control assistant for three seasons on the Hill, was also promoted to wide receivers coach.

head coach in Jeff Brohm at the helm.

UNIVERSITY

After struggling with a 2-22 mark in their first two FBS seasons (2009-10), the Hilltoppers have begun to establish themselves as one of the most consistent winners in the nation. WKU is one of nine teams from the ‘Group of Five’ to win seven or more games in each of the past three seasons and its 22 wins from 2011-13 are the most of any Conference USA program. Brohm and his Hilltoppers aim to build off that momentum as WKU enters its inaugural season as Conference USA members.

HISTORY

Brohm returns nine starters on offense for 2014, including Doughty at quarterback as well as offensive line anchors Cameron Clemmons and Forrest Lamp. While continuity will be a strength on the offensive end, Brohm and the WKU coaching staff will face the challenge of filling seven holes on the defensive side of the ball.

In 2014, WKU will feature one of the country’s

HILLTOPPERS 2013 REVIEW

Following the most successful season of WKU’s fiveyear tenure as an FBS member, first-year coach Bobby Petrino departed and the head coaching reins were handed to offensive coordinator Jeff Brohm. Brohm is regularly heralded as one of the sharpest offensive minds in football and his knowledge resulted in great results for the WKU offense in 2013, as the Hilltoppers finished 30th in the country in total offense.

HILLTOPPER EXPERIENCE

GENERAL

WKU ended its 2013 campaign with a FBS era schoolrecord eight wins, swept the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year awards and had a pair of individuals lead the nation in statistical categories for the secondstraight season. Led by record breaking seasons from All-American running back Antonio Andrews and quarterback Brandon Doughty, WKU broke 18 school records on the offensive side of the ball while being the only team in the country to have its single-season rushing and passing yard records broken.

2014 outlook 33 coaching years in Kentucky and will be in charge of WKU’s running backs. Shephard enters his fourth year at WKU and first as a position coach as he’ll lead an experienced group of wide receivers. THE OFFENSE Quarterback Spring and fall camp is often used to decide position battles, but it’s no secret as to who will line up under center for WKU in 2014. Senior Brandon Doughty gets the keys to WKU’s offense for the second-straight season after re-writing the Hilltopper record books during his junior campaign. In his first full season as a starter, Doughty set single-season school records with 2,857 passing yards and a completion percentage of 65.8 percent while completing the second most passes in program history (246). Doughty was the captain of a WKU offense that set 18 school records, including total yards (5,502) and passing yards per game (261.7). He was also the only quarterback in the country to lead game-winning touchdown drives of 80 or more yards on two occasions, accomplishing the feat at Army and against Arkansas State. Doughty guided WKU to four-straight wins to close the season, throwing for 812 yards and six touchdowns in that stretch. Doughty returns seven of his top nine receivers from 2013 and will have four of five starters on the offensive line back in front of him. With Doughty under center again in 2014, the Hilltoppers are primed for another great offensive year. Junior Nelson Fishback and sophomore Todd Porter both started one game in 2013 and provide experience as backups entering 2014. Offensive Line WKU’s 2014 offensive line will feature a unique combination of youth and experience. Redshirt sophomores Forrest Lamp, Max Halpin and Darrell Williams combined for 22 starts last season while Cameron Clemmons enters 2014 as the most experienced player on WKU’s roster with 31 career starts. Lamp received recognition as an Honorable Mention All-Sun Belt Conference selection during his redshirt freshman campaign and has also garnered Preseason All-Conference USA honors from Phil Steele this summer. He and Clemmons will anchor the tackle positions for WKU again in 2014 after paving the way for a school-record 1,730 rushing yards from Antonio Andrews and 2,857 passing yards from quarterback Brandon Doughty.

The Hilltoppers didn’t miss a beat with the redshirt freshman Halpin in the middle of the line, going 6-1 with him as a starter. Williams started the final three games at right tackle for WKU in 2013 after Ed Hazelett went down and spent time with the first team at guard during spring practices. He and the other Hilltopper offensive linemen will be in competition this fall for the guard spots. Running Backs Filling the shoes of two-time All-American running back Antonio Andrews will be the task at hand for WKU’s running backs this fall. Andrews and fellow WKU All-American Bobby Rainey have established a tradition of excellence at the position for the Hilltoppers, making WKU the only active team in the nation and one of just four in NCAA history to have an individual rusher eclipse 1,500 yards rushing in fourstraight seasons.

2014 outlook

Tight End Mitchell Henry

@WKUFootball | @WKUSports 23

OPPONENTS

Tight ends are a staple in Brohm’s offense and just like the wide receiver group, there’s no shortage of depth there. Mitchell Henry enters his senior season with 46 career catches, 605 receiving yards and eight touchdowns to lead a versatile group of Hilltopper tight ends. Henry was WKU’s No. 2 tight end as a freshman and sophomore before becoming the No. 1 option in 2013 and he’ll be the go-to tight end again this fall.

UNIVERSITY

Wide Receivers/Tight Ends No position group returns more experience or production than WKU’s wide receivers, which brings back seven of the top nine targets from 2013. Long known for their rushing attack, the Hilltoppers opened the offense up and passed for a school record 3,140 yards in 2013. Seven wide receivers caught 20 or more

Junior college transfers Jared Dangerfield and Antwane Grant shined during spring practices and may emerge as WKU’s top receivers in the fall. Dangerfield gives WKU speed and a 6-foot-3 target on the outside while Grant’s 6-foot-1 frame gives Doughty another big target down the field.

HISTORY

Redshirt sophomore Anthony Wales rushed for 112 yards and scored two touchdowns on 12 carries in 2013 and will give the offense a shifty option at running back when relieving Allen.

McNeal headlines a deep receiving corps that should produce at an even higher level this fall. Nicholas Norris hauled in 33 catches for 431 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman while fellow rookie Taywan Taylor had 24 receptions for 270 yards. McNeal, Norris and Taylor will be at Doughty’s disposal along with a handful of newcomers.

HILLTOPPERS 2013 REVIEW

Allen stands at 6-feet tall and weighs in at 235 pounds, making him a load to tackle for opposing defenders. Couple his frame with speed and power, and Allen has all the makeup to become the next great running back at WKU.

passes, led by senior Willie McNeal’s 46 grabs, 599 yards and five touchdowns.

GENERAL

After spending the past two seasons as Andrews’ backup, junior Leon Allen gets his chance to become the next standout running back on the Hill. Allen has rushed for 674 yards and scored eight total touchdowns with limited touches in 2012-13. He’s shown flashes of what he can produce when given the ball often, rushing for 92 yards on 10 carries in a win over Kentucky in 2013 and tallying 132 rushing yards on just 11 carries against Southern Miss in 2012.

2014 outlook Redshirt junior Tyler Higbee switched from wide receiver to tight end last season and averaged 13 yards per catch on 11 receptions. He battled injuries throughout the second half of the season but will give WKU speed and the opposition matchup problems as the No. 2 tight end. Fellow redshirt junior Tim Gorski compliments Higbee on the opposite side of Henry after tallying 17 catches, 172 yards and a score in 2013. Gorski’s 6-foot-7, 253 pound frame gives him a large presence as WKU’s primary blocking tight end while providing Doughty with a large target in the red zone. THE DEFENSE Defensive Line The youthful theme for WKU’s defense begins in the trenches, where only one senior is in the starting mix. Redshirt junior Gavin Rocker will lead a defensive line that helped generate 27 sacks and 20 quarterback hits in 2013. Rocker racked up 37 tackles, including 5.5 for loss and two sacks last season and will be called on again this fall to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. Defensive Back Marcus Ward

While Rocker returns, the Hilltoppers will have to replace First-Team All-Sun Belt Conference defensive end Bar’ee Boyd, who tallied 40 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks during his senior season. Sophomore Kalvin Robinson, a long, speedy athlete who saw significant action as a rookie, could wind up being Boyd’s replacement. Robinson played in 10 games and started two, recording a pair of sacks and posting three tackles for loss off the end. Senior T.J. Smith, who has appeared in 30 games since 2011, should be in the mix for time at defensive end as well. Devante Terrell led WKU’s defensive tackles with 33 tackles and returns for his redshirt sophomore season after making eight starts in 2013. Terrell and Bryan Shorter were the Hilltoppers’ primary defensive tackles before injuries railroaded the end of their seasons. Junior college transfer Ge’Monee Brown and sophomore D’Von Isaac emerged as the front runners at defensive tackle during the spring and enter the fall solidified in the middle of Nick Holt’s 4-3 scheme. Linebackers Linebacker may be the biggest question mark for the Hilltoppers entering 2014 as its starting corps from 2013 departs. Two-time All-Sun Belt Conference linebacker and sixth round NFL Draft pick Andrew Jackson leaves a void at middle linebacker while 2013 SBC Defensive Player of the Year Xavius Boyd will also be missing on the strong side. The only linebackers on the roster with starting experience are junior Daqual Randall, who started at middle linebacker at South Alabama and Georgia State in 2013, and sophomore Devante Duclos, who started on the weak side at Texas State. Randall and Duclos will be in a tightly contested battle to earn starting spots in fall camp. Senior Terran Williams brings the most experience to the group, recording 53 tackles and two sacks in 36 career games played. Williams and sophomore Drew Davis, who spent most of his rookie season as a gunner on special teams, will also compete for time on the field. Additionally, junior college newcomers Nick Holt and Dejon Brown are expected to make contributions and contend for starting positions. Holt, the son of Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator Nick Holt, started at middle linebacker in the spring game while Brown also earned significant reps.

OPPONENTS

Headlining the talented group was 2013 Kentucky Mr. Football Nacarius Fant, who caught 83 passes for over 1,700 yards and 20 touchdowns as a senior at Bowling Green High School. WKU also signed a Tennessee Mr. Football winner in 6-foot-1, 240 pound running back

Nick Holt was able to ink a pair of Bluegrass linebackers in Masai Whyte (Shelbyville) and Ryan Duvall (Owensboro), the brother of former Hilltopper linebacker Ben Duvall. Both sides of the trenches improved with the additions of defensive lineman Derik Overstreet (Paducah), Evan Sayner (Paducah) and Nick True (Fort Thomas). True was a standout blocking tight end at football power Highlands and projects to be an offensive lineman at the collegiate level.

UNIVERSITY

THE NEWCOMERS Brohm and his staff lost no recruiting momentum despite the head coaching change coming less than a month before national signing day. After inking nine junior college signees that were able to enroll in January and practice with the Hilltoppers in the spring, Brohm signed 15 players from the high school ranks to compete on The Hill this fall.

Brohm hauled in a trio of in-state speedsters in Joe Brown (Louisvillle), Will Bush (Louisville) and DeAndre Farris (Shelbyville). Brown will enter fall camp as a running back after rushing for 1,242 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior at Butler High School.

HISTORY

Redshirt junior Prince Charles Iworah won the starting corner spot on the opposite side of Thomas after a strong spring. Iworah’s speed helped land him the starting gig on the gridiron, but it is also display on the track. Iworah is the only multi-sport athlete at WKU, as he recorded the fourth fastest 60-meter dash time in WKU Track and Field history in February at 6.79 seconds.

Winning the recruiting battle in its own back yard was a point of emphasis for the WKU coaching staff during the offseason. Ten of the 15 Hilltopper signees hail from the state of Kentucky, including hometown stars Fant and Joel Iyiegbuniwe, a defensive force at South Warren, recording 87 tackles and four interceptions during his final two seasons.

HILLTOPPERS 2013 REVIEW

WKU used plenty of 4-2-5 coverage in 2013, giving a number of Hilltoppers action on the field. Thomas is the lone regular starter returning but senior Rico Brown and sophomore Marcus Ward both started three games at safety for WKU last season. Ward will start at safety this fall while Brown will backup senior Ricardo Singh at the other safety.

D’Andre Ferby. Ferby rushed for over 1,300 yards and scored 21 touchdowns in just 10 games as a senior and could earn carries as early as this fall. The coaching staff split WKU’s needs down the middle in the 2014 signing class, inking 12 players of the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

GENERAL

and Arius Wright. That trio along with Cam Thomas, who returns as a senior in 2014, ranked 10th nationally in passing defense efficiency and held opponents to 177 passing yards per game. The production lost from the secondary is significant, but returning to lead the unit is Thomas, who led the Sun Belt Conference and ranked Top 20 nationally in passes defended (15) and interceptions (5).

HEAD COACH

JEFF BROHM Jeff Brohm, a native Kentuckian and one of the state’s most notable football products, begins his first season as the head football coach at Western Kentucky University after spending one season as the Hilltoppers’ assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. An 11-year collegiate coaching veteran with experience in the Big 10, Big East, Conference USA and Sun Belt conferences, Brohm directed a high-flying, high-scoring offensive attack that shattered 18 single-season school records including total offense, individual passing yards and individual rushing yards in his first season as the Hilltoppers’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at WKU in 2013. Under Brohm’s tutelage, 20 players in offenses he coordinated went on to be drafted into the National Football League while four quarterbacks, Stefan LeFors, Brian Brohm, Hunter Cantwell, and Rusty Smith went on to play in the NFL directly out of Brohm’s quarterback room. Brohm’s quarterbacks have averaged 2,981 passing yards per season, marks that would rank No. 33 nationally in this season’s rankings while they have compiled a career completion percentage of 63-percent, another Top-30 ranking nationally in 2013. Since 2003, Brohm has also been a part of 82 total wins as either an offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach. Brohm’s offenses, overall, have averaged 446 total yards per game and 33.8 points per game. Brohm inherits a program that is in the midst of a highly successful transition into the FBS. The Hilltoppers are one of just 38 programs nationally to have seven wins in at least three consecutive seasons and are one of just nine programs to accomplish that feat from a non-automatic qualifying conference. All of this in just their fifth season in college football’s upper echelon of competition.

In his first season as an assistant coach at Louisville, Brohm guided quarterback Stefan LeFors to a No. 1 national ranking in passing efficiency and completion percentage, and watched as the southpaw narrowly missed setting NCAA records in both categories.

UNIVERSITY

Known for his development of signal callers, Brohm spent two years at Illinois before making the move to UAB for the 2012 season. In his second year working with Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, Brohm guided the sophomore to improved numbers in passing yardage, completion percentage and passing efficiency in 2011. Scheelhaase’s 138.0 rating was the fourth-best season mark in Illini history.

Under Brohm’s direction, the Cardinals’ passing attack flourished, including a record-breaking season in 2007 with Brohm’s younger brother, Brian, as quarterback. Brian Brohm threw for 4,024 yards including 30 touchdowns, on his way to repeating second team All-Big East accolades. Brian finished second in the nation in passing efficiency and completed 68.8 percent of his throws in 2006.

HISTORY

Under Brohm’s direction, the Hilltopper offense was No. 2 in the Sun Belt, finishing the regular season just two-tenths of a yard per game away from the top spot, averaging 458.5 yards per game.

While Brohm was at FAU, the Owls averaged 27.4 points per game, 279.7 yards passing per contest and 432.1 yards of total offense per game.

GENERAL

As the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator for the Tops, Brohm’s primary pupil, first-year starting quarterback Brandon Doughty, broke a 23-year old record for the most passing yards in a season with 2,857 while running back Antonio Andrews broke his own school record, set in 2012, and became just the 11th player in FBS history to rush for 1,700 yards or more in consecutive seasons when he piled up 1,730 rushing yards in 2013.

Coaching Staff WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT JEFF BROHM

Trent Dilfer, Super Bowl Champion Quarterback “Jeff and I go all the way back to when we played with the Buccaneers, and of all the backups I ever had, I found him to be a tremendous student of the game with a quick mind in-game which I think will help him as a head coach. As I’ve followed his career as a coach, he really understands the quarterback position which there are only a handful of people in the country that really get it and I put him in that category. He’s had a really nice coaching pedigree and I think all of those things add up to a really fine head coach.” Ron Zook, Former Illinois and Florida Head Coach “Jeff Brohm is not only a great football coach but a great person, family man and mentor for his players. He has been successful at everything he has ever been associated with, and I couldn’t be happier for a more deserving man than Coach Brohm.”

@WKUFootball | @WKUSports 33

OPPONENTS

Steve Young, Pro Football Hall of Famer and ESPN NFL analyst “Jeff was a very conscientious, hard-working, detailed player. I enjoyed his easy demeanor and laser focus. He was a great teammate and I know he’s a great coach.”

UNIVERSITY

Jeff Brohm at the University of Louisville

Bobby Petrino, University of Louisville Head Coach “I am very excited for Jeff and his family to have this opportunity. Jeff and I have been coaching together for a long time, and I know he has been preparing himself to be a head coach at the FBS level. His preparation and attention to detail is what you want from a coach, and those attributes along with his love for the game of football and for his players will help him succeed.”

HISTORY

Marty Mornhinweg, New York Jets Offensive Coordinator “He was a heck of a player when I coached him in San Francisco, and I’ve been able to follow his coaching career and he’s done an excellent job everywhere he has been. I know he’s one of the great offensive minds in the country and a top flight recruiter. I’m very excited for him and his family.”

Brian Brohm, Former Louisville quarterback “Jeff is a great hire for WKU. He’s been around some of the best coaches in the game and brings a little piece of all of them with him. He is without a doubt the best quarterback coach I have ever had and will make a great head coach. His players are going to love playing for him because he is passionate about the game, loves to win, and makes playing the game fun. I’m excited to watch him take on this challenge and am certain he will succeed.”Ibusae. On explaut ullabore

HILLTOPPERS 2013 REVIEW

Jay Gruden, Washington Redskins Head Coach “Playing the quarterback position as Jeff did, you have to be a great leader and really understand the position. Jeff was that and more. He knew about all of the responsibilities of every position, and I think those are major attributes that make successful head coaches. I couldn’t be more excited for him.”

Nathan Scheelhaase, Former Illinois quarterback “I think I can speak for all who know Jeff that we are definitely excited for him. I think it something, as a player, that you knew he had what it takes to become a head coach, and I know he is ready for this move in his career. Coach Brohm has all the intangibles of what it takes to become a head coachâÂ€”his demeanor, he is even-keeled, understands the game. He is able to relate to the players in a way that definitely makes you respect him. He played the game and played the game at the highest level, so players respect him for that, and he shows equal respect in return.”

GENERAL

Howard Schnellenberger, Legendary College Football Coach “Jeff was certainly an integral part in many of my successes as a coach. I think he is well prepared to take advantage of this opportunity. He gets the most out of his players, and he’s been in enough developing and building situations that he understands the extra efforts and demands that it takes to bring a program to the next level. It’s obvious to me that WKU is on the brink of taking that next step. He knows how to develop a football team, and he was a highly recruited young man from a renowned family in Louisville. We weren’t very good when it was his turn to come be with us, but he put his faith in me and came with us. He became a driving force in our rise to the level we rose to (at Louisville). When I brought him to FAU, he was essential in developing our quarterbacks including Rusty Smith who went on to the NFL.”

Stefan LeFors, Former Louisville and Carolina Panthers quarterback “I’m very excited for Jeff and this opportunity for him. Coach Brohm was a great quarterbacks coach and his demeanor made the position have meaning and made it fun. He related well to the players, and he was honest to everyone, which made us better players as a whole. He is definitely a football guy, and I know that he will do well at WKU.”

NICK HOLT

ASSOC. HEAD COACH - DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

SECOND YEAR AT WKU | UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC ‘86 Nick Holt, a former BCS conference defensive coordinator, head coach and a former national champion, serves as the defensive coordinator at WKU. Following the 2013 season, Holt added the title of Associate Head Coach under first year head coach Jeff Brohm. In 2013, Holt inherited one of the Sun Belt Conference’s most suffocating defenses and improved them in nearly every statistical category even with the loss of every starter on the defensive line. At the conclusion of the regular season, Holt’s defense ranked No. 14 overall in total defense while his pass defense was No. 10 in the nation. Among conference members, the Hilltoppers finished with the top tackler in terms of tackles for loss and sacks in linebacker Xavius Boyd while defensive back Cam Thomas was the league’s best ball hawk, leading the SBC with 15 passes defended.

ASSISTANT COACH - OFFENSIVE LINE

In his first regular season at WKU, Callaway’s offensive line entered the year as one of the nation’s most experienced before injuries to two senior starters had the Tops starting three redshirt freshmen by season’s end. Callaway’s unit didn’t miss a beat and helped guide a record-breaking offense to 5,502 yards and helped quarterback Brandon Doughty and running back Antonio Andrews set single-season school records for passing and rushing yardage, respectively. In total, the WKU offense broke 18 school records during their 2013 campaign. Prior to WKU, Callaway served as the head coach at UAB from 2007-11. Before UAB, he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Georgia from 2001-06. Callaway has served as an offensive line coach at three different schools in the Southeastern Conference, including Auburn, Alabama and Georgia during his career.

Callaway won three conference championships during his playing days with Alabama, then four as an assistant at Auburn, one as an assistant at Alabama and two during his time as offensive coordinator at Georgia. Callaway served on the Georgia staff for six seasons (2001-06) before going to UAB, helping the Bulldogs to 61 wins over that six-year span, which included a pair of SEC titles, three SEC East titles, four bowl wins and four top-10 finishes in the national polls.

FOURTH SEASON AT WKU | DEPAUW ‘05 JaMarcus Shephard enters his first season as the wide receivers coach on The Hill under first year head coach Jeff Brohm. In 2013, Shephard worked as a quality control assistant for the Hilltoppers, specifically helping the wide receivers transform from a run-heavy offense into a more balanced unit under then-coach Bobby Petrino. Shephard’s wide receiver room helped the Tops to a single-season school record in total offense and proved to have a `Next Man Up’ mentality as quarterback Brandon Doughty was able to evenly distribute the ball with eight different receivers catching at least one pass. Shephard has spent three seasons in all at WKU, serving two years as a defensive analyst and volunteer assistant. A two-time Division III American Football Coaches Association at DePauw University, Shephard primarily aided in defensive scheming and identifying opponent tendencies. Additionally, he helped to monitor player academic performance and assisted in the recruiting process. During his time on The Hill, Shephard also served as a graduate teaching assistant, conducting courses in the Department of Kinesiology, Recreation and Sport from spring 2011 to fall 2012. Before his arrival on The Hill, Shephard spent the 2007 season as an assistant track and field coach at DePauw. Shephard began his football coaching career at his high school alma mater, Northrop High in Fort Wayne, Ind., before moving to Indianapolis for a stint at Broad Ripple High. At DePauw, Shephard participated in the 2005 Hula Bowl as well as the 2004 Aztec Bowl in Cancun, Mexico - both games reserved for collegiate all-stars. In Cancun, Shephard helped lead Team USA over Team Mexico, 23-3, with three kickoff returns for 95 yards including a 56-yarder to setup the team’s first touchdown. He was also one of just two Division III participants in the Hula Bowl that season.

Shephard also tied the NCAA record for kickoffs returned for touchdowns in a game with two. In his senior season, Shephard caught 47 balls for 815 yards and seven touchdowns while also taking home first team All-SCAC honors. He finished his collegiate career as DePauw’s all-time leader in kickoff return yards and kickoff return average, a mark he still holds today. His 168 career receptions still rank No. 5 all-time at DePauw while his 2,382 career receiving yards are No. 6 all-time. Shephard is also the No. 3 all-purpose player in DePauw history, tallying 3,997 yards over his career. Shephard graduated from DePauw in 2005 with a degree in Sports Medicine while also serving as a captain on the track and field squad as well as a captain on the football team.

HISTORY

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Justin Coleman and Cameron Sutton returned interceptions for touchdowns Saturday as Tennessee scored after each of Western Kentucky’s five first-quarter turnovers in a 52-20 victory. Western Kentucky (1-1) turned the ball over five times in a span of six snaps during the first quarter, turning an early 3-0 lead into a 31-3 deficit. The Football Bowl Subdivision record for consecutive turnovers forced by a defense is seven straight series. Florida State had four fumbles and three interceptions in its first seven possessions of a 42-13 loss to Florida on Oct. 7, 1972. Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty threw five interceptions, including Coleman’s 23-yard touchdown return and Sutton’s 36-yard score. Brian Randolph picked off two Doughty passes in the end zone. Marlin Lane rushed for 97 yards and one touchdown for Tennessee (2-0). Rajion Neal ran for 74 yards and three touchdowns. Western Kentucky’s Antonio Andrews rushed for 111 yards. Scoring Summary 1 2 3 4 OT Score WKU 3 14 3 0 - 20 UT 24 7 14 7 - 52

(AP) -- Keshawn Simpson ran for a pair of 3-yard touchdowns and Antonio Andrews added his own 3-yard score as WKU beat Kentucky 35-26 Saturday night making coach Bobby Petrino a winner in his debut. The Hilltoppers also beat their in-state rival for a second straight year, though they didn’t need overtime like they did last year in this win over the Southeastern Conference program. They outgained Kentucky 487-419 in total offense and held the ball for 35 minutes. The loss ruined Kentucky coach Mark Stoops’ debut. Coordinator Neal Brown’s Air Raid offense struggled against a WKU defense returning seven starters from a bowl team that went 7-6 last season in the Sun Belt Conference. Brandon Doughty was 27 of 34 for 271 yards and a TD, numbers that would have been better except for at least four drops including a would-be touchdown. Petrino’s debut was everything WKU wanted from the coach’s first game. He remains undefeated in season openers, improving to 9-0. Scoring Summary 1 2 3 4 OT Score UK 3 14 0 9 - 26 WKU 7 14 7 7 - 35

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- Tyrell Pearson’s interception return with just more than two minutes left set up a 1-yard plunge by Trey Fetner that lifted South Alabama to a 31-24 win over visiting Western Kentucky in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams Saturday night. The Hilltoppers (1-2, 0-1) took a 21-10 lead in the first half but could only manage a field goal in the second half - that coming on a 44-yard boot to start the fourth quarter by Garrett Schwettman after the Jaguars tied the game at 21-21. Aleem Sunanon kicked a 37-yard field goal two minutes later to tie the score at 24-24. Ross Matheny completed 11 of 15 passes for 193 yards to lead South Alabama (2-1, 1-0). Brandon Doughty was 27 of 47 for 282 yards and three touchdowns to lead Western Kentucky, but he was also intercepted three times.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- WKU took its early season frustrations out on Morgan State behind 291 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns from Antonio Andrews in a 58-17 win Saturday night. Andrews’ five scores broke the WKU (2-2) record for most rushing touchdowns in a single game. Andrews wasted no time getting things started with a 65-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage against the Bears (0-4). The senior finished with 17 carries for 213 yards on the ground. True freshman quarterback Todd Porter earned his first collegiate start for the Hilltoppers and all four quarterbacks saw time on the field. In Porter’s NCAA debut, he completed five of 10 passes for 76 yards and threw one interception. WKU amassed 588 yards of total offense while Morgan State tallied 317 yards. Linebacker Xavius Boyd led all defenders with 10 tackles and Andrew Jackson followed closely with nine in the Hilltoppers’ victory.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- Antonio Andrews ran for 182 yards and two touchdowns as the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers downed Navy 19-7 Saturday, beating the Midshipmen at their own ground game. Andrews outgained the nation’s best rushing offense all by himself as Western Kentucky (3-2) held Navy to 107 yards, well below the 398 yards the Midshipmen averaged through the first two games. The Hilltoppers outgained Navy 417-183 in total offense. Navy (2-1) was trying to open the season 3-0 for the first time since 2006. The Midshipmen averaged 552 yards offense through two games but just couldn’t keep the chains moving against the Hilltoppers. Quarterback Keenan Reynolds was injured in the second quarter and was replaced by John Hendrick. Andrews finished with a season-high 32 carries, and he helped seal the victory in the fourth quarter. Andrews scored on an 11-yard TD run with 9:39 left

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- Alonzo Harris rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns to lead Louisiana-Lafayette to a 37-20 victory over WKU on Tuesday night. Terrance Broadway had a 1-yard TD run and also threw for a score for the Ragin’ Cajuns (4-2, 2-0 Sun Belt), who have won four in a row since a 48-27 loss at Kansas State last month. Louisiana-Lafayette had 198 yards rushing in the second half and finished with 254 on the ground for the game. Antonio Andrews had 28 carries for 154 yards for the WKU (4-3, 1-2), who led 10-0 after the first quarter. Andrews, who had a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter, went over 1,000 yards for the season. WKU committed four turnovers, including Al Riles’ 99-yard interception return that made it 10-7 with 6:41 left in the second quarter. Brandon Doughty was 18-for-23 passing for 260 yards and a touchdown for the Hilltoppers, who had won three in a row.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- Corey Robinson threw for 306 yards and Jordan Chunn ran for two scores to lead Troy to a 32-26 win over Western Kentucky. A late drive by Western Kentucky (4-4, 1-3 Sun Belt) was stalled as Antonio Andrews fell inches short of the first down at the Troy 22-yard line with just inside of two minutes to play. The Hilltoppers lost despite outperforming the Trojans (5-3, 3-1) on offense with 532 yards. Troy outscored WKU 22-6 in the second half, erasing a 20-10 at halftime deficit. Robinson became the Sun Belt’s all-time leader in touchdown passes after his 40-yard score to Chris Williams in the third quarter. WKU quarterback Brandon Doughty did not start the game, but finished with 387 yards on 29 completions. Andrews led WKU in rushing and receiving in the Hilltoppers’ loss. He ran for 144 yards and caught seven passes for 125 yards.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Antonio Andrews rushed for 110 yards, Brandon Doughty had 206 yards passing and Keshawn Simpson ran for four touchdowns to help Western Kentucky and coach Bobby Petrino beat Georgia State 44-28 on Saturday. Western Kentucky (5-4, 2-3 Sun Belt Conference) snapped a two-game losing streak. Ronnie Bell had two touchdown passes for Georgia State (0-9, 0-4).

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) -- Antonio Andrews, the nation’s leading rusher once recruited to play at West Point, ran for 117 yards and the game-winning touchdown with 32 seconds left as Western Kentucky came back to beat Army 21-17 Saturday in the teams’ first meeting. Brandon Doughty was 16 for 24 for 199 yards and two touchdowns for the Hilltoppers (6-4, 2-3 Sun Belt), who clinched bowl eligibility for the third straight season. Held scoreless in the first half, Western Kentucky went up ahead on Doughty’s second touchdown pass to Willie McNeal, which made it 14-10 early in the fourth. Army (3-7) took a 17-14 lead on Terry Baggett’s 20-yard rush with 7:03 to go, but couldn’t stop Andrews on the next drive as he ran in unscathed for the go-ahead score. The Hilltoppers played in New York for the first time in their 94-year history.

SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) -- Antonio Andrews ran 21 times for 204 yards and three touchdowns and Western Kentucky added a 38-7 win over Texas State to its bowl resume on Saturday night. Western Kentucky (7-4, 3-3 Sun Belt) led 17-7 at the half and scored three touchdowns - all on the ground - in the fourth quarter. Leon Allen ran for 53 yards and a touchdown and Anthony Wales added 46 yards and another score. The Hilltoppers outgained Texas State 473-152 in total offense. The Hilltoppers averaged 6.98 yards per carry for 321 yards while holding the Bobcats to just 16 yards rushing. Western Kentucky had no turnovers while forcing five. Tyler Arndt had three interceptions in five pass attempts for Texas State (6-5, 2-4). Tyler Jones replaced him and finished 14 of 25 for 104 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- Brandon Doughty threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns to lead Western Kentucky to a 34-31 victory over Arkansas State Saturday. Arkansas State drove 83 yards on its first possession to score on a 1-yard rush by Ryan Carrethers. Western Kentucky answered with a rushing touchdown by Keshawn Simpson and a Doughty touchdown pass to Willie McNeal. The Hilltoppers (8-4, 4-3 Sun Belt) scored again in the second on a 23-yard pass by Doughty to lead 20-14 at halftime. The back-andforth continued in the fourth as backup Red Wolves QB J.D. McKissic threw a 6-yard touchdown pass for a 31-27 Arkansas State lead. With 10 seconds to play, Doughty hit McNeal from 2 yards for the Hilltoppers win. Antonio Andrews rushed for 119 yards on 20 attempts and used a 39-yard reception from Doughty during the 99-yard game-winning drive that helped set up Doughty’s pass to McNeal.

HILLTOPPER LEGENDS RETIRED HILLTOPPER JERSEYS The great names to wear a Hilltopper uniform or roam the sidelines as a coach during the history of Hilltopper football are numerous. However, only four have been recognized with a jersey retired in their honor. All-America quarterback - and later head coach - Jimmy Feix was the first to receive the honor. In fact, his number 66 is the only number officially removed from circulation. Following his playing days in the late 90’s, Willie Taggart joined Feix with a retired jersey hung outside Houchens Industries - L.T. Smith Stadium.

Willie Taggart (1995-98) Retired: Oct. 23, 1999 Taggart ended his career not only as the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,997 career yards, but as the leader among all Division I quarterbacks. He was a two-time finalist for the Walter Payton Award, given to the top offensive player in NCAA Football Championship Subdivision. Following his playing career, Taggart remained on The Hill as an assistant coach from 1999-2006. After three seasons as an assistant coach at Stanford, Taggart returned to WKU in 2009 to become head coach. He remained in that role until 2012 after leading the team to consecutive 7-5 seasons in 2011 and 2012 and the school’s first ever FBS bowl game appearance following the 2012 season.

#44

Dale Lindsey (1963-64) Retired: Sept. 15, 2007

#24

Virgil Livers (1971-74) Retired - Oct. 20, 2001 One of the most explosive players in school history, Livers ranks among the top six all-time on the Hill in both interceptions and punt return yards. Livers’ career 250 interception return yards are No. 2 all-time and his 24.6 yards per interception return in 1974 and 19.2 career yards per interception return remain school records. Livers was drafted by the NFL’s Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 1975 NFL Draft where he remained until he concluded his professional career in 1979. Livers appeared in 68 games, starting 60, over his career with Chicago. He also spent time with the Chicago Blitz of the USFL.

#66

Jimmy Feix (1949-52) Retired: 1999

A two-time All-OVC pick, Dale Lindsey earned All-America honors as a linebacker in 1964 and was named to the All-Time OVC Team in 1998.

The first Hilltopper All-American in 1952, Jimmy Feix is also WKU’s winningest head coach, leading the Hilltoppers to 106 victories from 1968-83.

In 1963, Lindsey was a major factor in the Hilltoppers’ undefeated season which concluded with a Tangerine Bowl victory. Lindsey was drafted in the seventh round of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, where he played from 1965 to 1927. He signed with New Orleans to play his final season in 1973.

Feix led WKU to winning seasons in his first eight seasons as the head coach, still the longest streak of consecutive winning seasons by one head coach in school history. Under Feix, WKU won a pair of Grantland Rice bowl games, finished as the NCAA II national runner up twice and won six Ohio Valley Conference championships.

Following his professional playing career, Lindsey coached for several NFL, CFL and USFL teams. In 1988, Lindsey worked with Head Coach Forrest Gregg at SMU to revitalize the program after the infamous ‘Death Penalty’ sentence. Lindsey was named the head coach at the University of San Diego prior to the 2013 season.

A member of the inaugural class of the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991, Feix was also selected to the Ohio Valley Conference 40th Anniversary Team in June 1988. Prior to the 1991 campaign, the field inside Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium was named ‘Feix Field’ in his honor.

stadium records HOUCHENS INDUSTRIES-L.T. SMITH STADIUM The 2014 season will be WKU’s 47th in Houchens IndustriesL.T. Smith Stadium and the seventh since the facility underwent a massive renovation. The renovation of Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium began in April 2006 and featured the construction of a new west side of the stadium while also including a significant renovation of the stadium’s existing east side. The stadium’s capacity now stands at 22,113. The first phase of the renovation to Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium involved improving the existing east side structure. Construction began on the West grandstand prior to the start of the 2007 season. The new side of the stadium contains approximately 5,000 seats, including an 832-seat club level, along with new concession stands and restrooms. The building also houses new football offices and a new weight room (10,000 square feet), training room (8,500 square feet), locker room (10,000 square feet) and equipment area. The Hilltoppers have put together a .500 or better record in 30 campaigns since the stadium opened in 1968. Originally L.T. Smtih Stadium, the name was changed to Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium in July, 2007.

WKU’s 2002 National Championship Season

Four conference champions. The top three seeds. Two three-point decisions on the road. All pointed to one result, Western Kentucky’s first-ever NCAA I-AA national championship.

HISTORY

Corey Shaw’s interception set up the final points of the game, a 23-yard Martinez field goal, while Charles Thompson ended McNeese’s final possession with the Toppers’ third interception of the contest.

HILLTOPPERS 2013 REVIEW

Quarterback Jason Michael connected with Johnson for 49 yards, and Frazier scored from 14 yards out on the next play to cap WKU’s first drive of the second half. With MSU trailing by 10 points and the third quarter nearing an end, Michael and Frazier hooked up for a screen pass that would go 54 yards, the quarterback would reach the end zone to finish the drive with 13:49 left in the contest.

game, giving the Hilltoppers the lead for good. Frazier scored on a 55-yard run on the second play of the second quarter to double WKU’s advantage. The defense allowed only 19 yards on seven plays after a late first-half turnover, forcing the Cowboys to settle for a field goal as the Toppers led, 17-6, at the break.

In laying out the town, the Moore’s designed two acres for the construction of public buildings. Those same two acres today make up Fountain Square Park in the heart of downtown. This is symbolic of the city of Bowling Green whose central location allowed it quickly to become a major agricultural community and river port, and later, an important commercial and educational center. Today Bowling Green is a regional entertainment hub for more than 250,000 people in 11 surrounding counties.

• Chosen as a Top Ten Great Public Space (Downtown Fountain Square) in 2010 by the American Planning Association

UNIVERSITY

At the first county commissioners meeting in early 1798, the pioneers decided that the new town would be “called and known by the name of Bolin Green.” This name was after the Bowling Green Square in New York City, where patriots had pulled down a statue of King George III and used the lead to make bullets during the American Revolution.

• Selected as an All-America City Finalist in 2010 by the National Civic League

HISTORY

Warren County consists of 546 square miles and was named for General Joseph Warren, a hero of the famous American Revolution Battle of Bunker Hill. The area was first settled in 1785 when Andrew McFadin built McFadin’s Station on Barren River. Shortly afterward, another explorer, Robert Moore, paused for a few days at the station before deciding to build in the area. Brothers George and Robert Moore may not have realized how forward looking they were when they selected a site on the Barren River in south central Kentucky for a new settlement in 1796.

DR. GARY RANSDELL UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

17TH YEAR AT WKU | WKU ‘73 Dr. Gary A. Ransdell was named the ninth president of Western Kentucky University on September 12, 1997. Dr. Ransdell, 62, received his Bachelor of Arts degree from WKU in 1973 in Mass Communications, a Master of Public Service degree in Public Administration in 1974, and a Doctor of Education degree from Indiana University in 1978. Dr. Ransdell re-joined WKU as President after serving four years as Vice President for Administration and Advancement and seven years as Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. His previous professional experiences at WKU also include service as a field representative in the Office of University School Relations from 1974 to 1976 and as Associate Director of Alumni Affairs from 1978 to 1981. Dr. Ransdell and the WKU Board of Regents are leading the campus through a dramatic transformation from a university of regional importance to a leading American university with international reach. WKU has grown its enrollment to 21,000 and improved its retention of students to 75%. A key element in the transformation of WKU is growth in private support. WKU completed its first capital campaign on June 30, 2003, with $102 million in gifts and pledges. A second campaign was completed on June 30, 2012 with $202 million in new gifts and pledges. Another priority is a complete rebuilding of the WKU campus. Some $700 million in campus construction has been completed since 1998, with $200 million on the drawing board. Other measures of progress include a dramatic push in sponsored research, the growth of critical degree programs in electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering; three new doctoral degree programs in education, nursing, and physical therapy; a new emphasis on the commercialization of intellectual property and the transfer of WKU technology to

Knox; the creation of the Gatton Academy of Math and Science, which has been ranked by Newsweek as the No. 1 high school in America two years in a row; Kentucky’s only independent Honors College with enrollment of 1,200 high achieving students; expanded study abroad programs; and the state’s first Confucius Institute and only Chinese flagship program. True to its plan, WKU has the largest number of distance-learning courses and the largest distance-learning enrollment among Kentucky’s eight universities. During Dr. Ransdell’s tenure, WKU’s athletic programs have won over 100 Conference championships, and have led the Sun Belt Conference in academic performance. He served as President of the Sun Belt Conference in 2000, and completed in 2013 a four-year term on the BCS Presidents’ Oversight Committee. Dr. Ransdell successfully negotiated a move to Conference USA which occurs in 2014. Dr. Ransdell has served on the Board of Directors of the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce, the Board for the Inter-model Transportation Authority of South Central Kentucky, and has chaired the Warren County United Way Campaign. Dr. Ransdell currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Institute for Shipboard Education (ISE) which operates the global Semester at Sea (SAS) program. Dr. Ransdell and his wife, Julie, met, dated, and were married while at WKU pursuing their undergraduate degrees. They have two sons—Patrick, who graduated from WKU in 2002, and Matthew, who graduated from WKU in 2006. Both Patrick and Matthew were lettermen with the WKU baseball team. Patrick and Brooke (WKU ‘04) were married in August 2004, and are the parents of Walker and Collins Ransdell, WKU classes of 2029 and 2033! Matthew and Sandra were married in the spring of 2014, and both practice law in St. Petersburg, Florida.

TODD STEWART

HISTORY

SEVENTH YEAR AT WKU | MIAMI (OHIO) ‘88

UNIVERSITY

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Each of WKU’s 18 sports has a multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) score of 946 or higher, exceeding by 16 points the NCAA’s mandate of 930 to be eligible for post-season play. Stewart also played an instrumental role in elevating WKU’s athletic programs to Conference USA. In its final year in the Sun Belt Conference in 2013-14, WKU won the league’s all-sports championship for the sixth overall time but first since 2008. A total of 110 student-athletes graduated during the year, and six sport programs captured conference championships - the most in a single-year since 2008-09. WKU’s volleyball, soccer, and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams captured Sun Belt Conference regular season championships, while the men’s swimming and diving team won the Conference USA Invitational. Women’s basketball posted 24 wins en route to winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and earning the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 2008. The Hilltoppers’ 2013 football team posted a program Football Bowl Subdivision-era-best 8-4 overall record and had four wins over bowl eligible teams, more than the previous five seasons combined. WKU’s eight wins included a second consecutive win over Kentucky along with victories over Navy, Army and Sun Belt co-champion Arkansas State, while the 18,334 per game home attendance average was the highest in the program’s 95-year history. WKU’s men’s outdoor track program set a program record with seven first-team All-Americans while finishing tied for 18th in the nation, the highest national team finish for any WKU program since men’s basketball reached the Sweet 16 in 2008.

The 2012-13 year, Stewart’s first full-year as Director of Athletics, marked the first time since the APR variable was introduced that all 19 WKU sports exceeded the single-year 930 APR threshold, and 108 student-athletes graduated during the year. Five sport programs (volleyball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s track and field, men’s basketball, softball) won conference championships. Despite a fifth-place conference finish in football, Stewart’s navigation of the bowl landscape helped secure the program’s first ever FBS bowl bid, an at-large appearance in the 2012 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Men’s basketball became the first team in NCAA history to win their conference tournament two consecutive years by winning four games in four days each time. Softball posted two wins in the NCAA Tournament, the first in the program’s history, while women’s basketball won a game in the WNIT, the program’s first post-season win since 2006-07. Volleyball also capped a 33-4 season by winning the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament match. A member of WKU’s senior athletic staff since 2008 and 25year veteran of collegiate and professional sports, Stewart was named WKU’s Director of Athletics on May 9, 2012, after serving in the role on an interim basis since March 22. After nearly two years as WKU’s Senior Associate Athletic Director, Stewart was named Interim Director of Athletics on March 22 after the departure of Ross Bjork to Ole Miss. He was immediately responsible for the day-to-day operation of WKU’s athletic department and its 19 varsity sports and over 400 student-athletes and employees. In that role, Stewart completed the hiring of Michelle Clark-Heard as head women’s basketball coach and oversaw the assistant coach hiring for both Heard and head men’s basketball coach Ray Harper. Stewart was elevated to Senior Associate Athletic Director in August of 2010 after serving as WKU’s Associate Athletic Director for Communications and Media Relations since June of 2008. As Senior Associate Athletic Director, Stewart served as second-in-command in the department and assisted in strategic initiatives that advanced the mission of athletics, served as a critical advisor for all important decisions for

Stewart joined WKU in June of 2008 after a 40-month stint as Associate Commissioner for Communications for the Sun Belt Conference, where he and his staff were responsible for internal and external communications for all Sun Belt Conference publicity. Prior to coming to the Sun Belt, Stewart worked in the National Football League for 15 years. He was hired by the Cleveland Browns as Executive Director of Communications and Media Relations in 1999, helping to create the franchise’s communications/media relations department as it reentered the league as an expansion team.

The club’s website, ClevelandBrowns. com, earned the number-two ranking out of 131 professional team web sites in 2004 in an annual survey conducted by Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal. Stewart assisted the NFL’s public relations staff at Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans and was the AFC public relations representative at the 2000 Pro Bowl in Hawaii while with the Browns. He also served on the NFL’s Media Policies Committee.

Prior to joining the Browns, Stewart was the Assistant Director of Public Relations for the Indianapolis Colts from 1991-99, where he helped direct activities between the organization, community and media with major responsibilities focused on writing press releases and producing team publications as well as arranging and coordinating interviews and press conferences. While with Indianapolis, he worked on the NFL’s public relations staff at Super Bowl XXVII in Los Angeles and at three consecutive AFC Championship Games (1997-99).

BIG RED

THE SPIRIT OF WESTERN

Big Red, Western Kentucky University’s athletic mascot, was born in the fall of 1979 and celebrates its birthday on December 1st. Big Red can be best described as the Spirit of Western! The huge, furry, lovable creature was originally designed and built by WKU student Ralph Carey, (’80 WKU graduate), of Cincinnati, and made its’ debut during the Hilltoppers’ 1979-80 basketball season. Big Red has become a big hit with fans of all ages throughout the state and the nation. Big Red’s signature moves are the belly slide and belly shake. Big Red is an eight-time participant in the Capital One Mascot Challenge and, in 2012, Big Red was named the first member of the Capital One Mascot Hall of Fame. Prior to the 2013 season, Sports Illustrated rated Big Red as the number nine mascot in college football. Of course, on The Hill, we all think Big Red is No. 1. The ultimate fan and supporter of all WKU’s intercollegiate sports, Big Red won the “Key to Spirit” award, the highest honor presented to team mascots at the time, at the Universal Cheerleading Association competition in 1980, 1981 and again in 1983. In the spring of 1990, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of the UCA’s second annual national championship event in San Antonio, TX, taking third-place honors. Then, in the spring of 1996, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of ESPN SportZone’s “Battle of the Mascots” in public balloting on the Internet. Big Red was the centerpiece of ESPN’s promotion of the 25,000th Sports Center, airing in August 2002. In 2005, Big Red placed second at the Universal Cheerleader Association’s Summer Camp in Knoxville, TN. Also, in 2005 Big Red was voted the favorite mascot (of participating schools) at the NCAA Mascot Mania celebration in Indianapolis, Ind.

In 19 years, more than 28,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA ON TV

C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN.

Each semifinal will be played during the New Year’s holiday with the national championship game in prime time on a Monday night at least a week later. It will be the best of all worlds, and the biggest innovation to the sport in decades. The Selection Committee A selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on their performance during the regular season, including, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, championships won, and other factors. The teams will be seeded so that #1 will play #4 in one semifinal and #2 will meet #3 in the other, with the winners advancing to the national championship game. The Rotation The semifinals will rotate among six different bowls, extending the experience to more fans. In the years when the bowls are not hosting semifinals, the bowls will feature eight other teams in four compelling matchups. For the 2014-15 season, the Orange Bowl (Dec. 31), Peach Bowl (Dec. 31), Fiesta Bowl (Dec. 31) and Cotton Bowl (Jan. 1) will host its regular bowl games, while the Rose Bowl (Jan. 1) and Sugar Bowl (Jan. 1) will host semifinals.
