The West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) athletics department is informing all prospective student-athletes in the sport of football that the program has undergone an NCAA investigation into violations committed in 2012, 2013 and 2014 by coaches who are no longer employed by WTAMU.
The investigative process began in December 2012 when the WTAMU athletics department received information of possible impermissible benefits violations committed by AC1 and began an in-house investigation with the assistance of the Lone Star Conference. AC1 resigned his position with the University in January 2013 to take a head coaching position with another NCAA member school. Upon the conclusion of the initial investigation in May 2013, WTAMU reported major and secondary infractions to the NCAA and self-imposed penalties on the football program, including a one-year off-campus recruiting ban for the former head football coach, forfeiture of performance incentives by the 2012-13 football staff and a reduction of two football scholarships for the 2013-14 season. Subsequently, additional major infractions were committed by the former head football coach in July 2013 and August 2013. As a result, the former head football coach was relieved of his coaching duties in August 2013 and the new infractions were reported to the NCAA in September 2013.
2015 BUFFALO GAME RECAPS
On March 23, 2016, the NCAA Division II Committee on Infractions (COI) released its report on the WTAMU football program. The COI determined that the former WTAMU head football coach provided impermissible benefits to two student-athletes. He subsequently engaged in unethical conduct and failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance when he provided false information during the investigation and also asked student-athletes to provide false information regarding the benefits he had provided them. The COI also determined that a former WTAMU assistant coach (AC1) provided impermissible benefits to student-athletes and engaged in unethical conduct when he gave false information during the investigation. Additionally, the COI cited another former WTAMU assistant coach (AC2) who did not report academic misconduct when he learned that a football student-athlete completed coursework for a teammate.

For these violations, the former head coach and AC1 each received two-year show cause orders from the NCAA. Further, the former head coach was suspended indefinitely from all off-campus recruiting and AC1 will be limited in his current duties as head coach, including an NCAA-mandated suspension.
In addition to the self-imposed penalties enacted by WTAMU, the COI placed the football program on three years of probation that will end on March 22, 2019. The program will also have a reduction of 3.51 scholarships for the 2016 season only.
BUFFALO RECORDS
In June 2014, two student-athletes engaged in academic fraud when one completed coursework for another. AC2 learned of the misconduct during the summer of 2014 and failed to report it to the athletics department, which learned of the fraud in October 2014 and immediately reported to the NCAA and suspended the two student-athletes. WTAMU also nullified all games and vacated wins in which the academically ineligible student-athlete participated. For this violation, AC2 received a two-year show cause order from the NCAA.
WTAMU continues to be eligible to participate in the NCAA Division II football playoffs each year, and remains steadfastly committed to athletic and academic excellence in each of its 17 varsity sports.

2016 SEASON PREVIEW
BUFFALO
WHERE THE BUFFALOES ROAM The largest on-campus stadium in NCAA Division II, Happy State Bank Field at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, has a seating capacity of 20,000 and has stood as a symbol of pride for West Texas A&M University fans since 1959. A synthetic, granular-infilled playing surface, known at FieldTurf, was installed during the summer of 2003. This surface is soccer-friendly and has enabled the facility to host numerous sporting events in addition to football. The stadium also high school football and soccer games, band competitions and a variety of other events. Originally known as the Buffalo Bowl, the facility was renamed Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in 1971 in honor of the late WT football coach and athletic director Frank Kimbrough. Operation of the stadium has been facilitated by the Canyon Independent School District since 1991, when the University leased Kimbrough to the Canyon Independent School District in a 99-year, $99-agreement. The location, just off the Interstate 27 on the Amarillo-Canyon Expressway, was chosen for its ground features that made a bowl-like construction easier for the Neil Singleton Construction Company of Amarillo. The $700,000 financing was handled, in part, by do-
nated money from boosters desiring to replace the old 7,000 seat, on-campus structure that occupied land where the Administration Building, Killgore Research Center and Cornette Library now stand. The stadium received its first major overhaul since its opening on Sept. 26, 1959, when a new synthetic grass surface known as Field Turf was installed in 2003, replacing the original Bermuda-grass field. Its east-side chair back section, which was the original home side, had power outlets every two seats affording fans power for electric blankets, radios, coffee pots, and even the new portable television sets. The stadium’s dedication in 1959 served as the centerpiece for the University’s 50th anniversary celebration and was attended by U.S. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, U.S. Representative Walter Rogers, members of the Board of Regents of Texas State Teachers Colleges, and delegates from about 40 colleges and universities across the Southwest. The first game ever played in the Bowl also marked the first visit to the Panhandle by longtime Border Conference rival University of Arizona. A crowd of 11,000 fans saw the Wildcats defeat Coach Clark Jarnigan’s young Buffs, 7-6, when freshman quarterback Corky Dawson was stopped in his attempt to run for two points after he had scored the Buffs’
first touchdown in the new stadium on a 10-yard keeper. The first victory by WTAMU in the new stadium was a 34-21 decision over Drake University on Halloween in 1959. In the stadium’s first day game, Virginia Tech defeated the Buffs 26-21. WTAMU defeated Angelo State 37-7 on Oct. 3, 1998, in the 200th Buff game played at Kimbrough. The Homecoming game drew 12,240 spectators, the most since 1982. The mark would be shattered in 2005, as 22,993 fans packed Kimbrough Stadium on Oct. 8 to watch the Buffs defeat rival Eastern New Mexico, 52-51, in overtime to claim the Wagon Wheel Trophy and their first conference championship since 1986. However, the largest crowd to ever pack Kimbrough Memorial occurred on Oct. 13, 2007, when 23,276 fans witnessed watched WT defeat Eastern New Mexico, 62-31. WT is 162-127-3 (.560) all-time at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium and has gone an impressive 43-12 at home since 2005.

FOOTBALL
The Lone Star Conference Long known as a leader in intercollegiate athletics, the Lone Star Conference (LSC) is an innovative athletics conference that aims to provide a superior competitive experience for member institutions and to allow for comprehensive development of student-athletes through academic services and life skills programming. The LSC continues to build upon its proud history while intending to be recognized as the premier NCAA Division II conference in the nation. The league’s mission is to foster student participation and success among member institutions in NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s total educational program. The LSC shall pursue student-athlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excellence, graduation success, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourcefulness, community service, gender equity, and diversity. The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has developed from a five-team conference of Texas-based schools to an 11-member league that spans three states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico). The conference membership recently expanded by adding The University of Texas of the Permian Basin and Western New Mexico in July 2016. Oklahoma Panhandle State University becomes an affiliate member in football and Lubbock Christian University joins the league as an affiliate member in indoor and outdoor track and field on that same date. The league continues to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports. Throughout the league’s 85-year history, various institutions have competed under the LSC banner. Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then East Texas State) remains from the original group that was formed in 1931 when North Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The membership alignment has changed over
the years, with current members added from 1954 to 2016. Texas A&M-Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I) joined in 1954, and Angelo State in 1968. Conference membership remained within the Texas borders until 1984 when Eastern New Mexico was admitted. Since then, the LSC has included members from Arkansas and Oklahoma. Cameron (1988, 1996) was added near the outset of an expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (1989) and previous members West Texas A&M (1986, 1993) and Tarleton State (1968, 1994) joined the league soon after. Midwestern State was admitted early in 1995, while Incarnate Word joined the league in 2010. Harding reconnected with the league as an affiliate member in track and field from 201315, and McMurry was an affiliate member in indoor and outdoor track and field, and football in 2014. Past members of the LSC include Trinity, Houston, Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State, McMurry, Harding, Ouachita Baptist, Central Oklahoma, East Central (Okla.), Northeastern State (Okla.), Southeastern Oklahoma, Southwestern Oklahoma, Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word. While the LSC has maintained a long-standing tradition of competitive athletic programs for its members, many teams and individuals have gone on to distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 2016-17, LSC member institutions have collected 75 NCAA team national championships since the league joined the Division II membership in 1982. The LSC conducts conference championships in 17 sports (eight men and nine women). Men’s championships include football, cross country, basketball, baseball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, golf and tennis. Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, softball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and golf. The conference office is located in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Jay Poerner serves as Commissioner, with assistance from Melanie Robotham (Media Relations) and Danielle Anderson (Compliance).

2015 SEASON RECAP - GAME 1 #19 AZUSA PACIFIC COUGARS AT WEST TEXAS A&M BUFFALOES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 • KIMBROUGH STADIUM, CANYON, TEXAS • (6,250)
#19 COUGARS UPEND UPSET-MINDED BUFFS 27-24 IN SEASON-OPENER CANYON, Texas – The West Texas A&M football team jumped out to a fast start
in the 2015 season-opener Thursday evening at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, but were unable to hang on as the No. 19 Azusa Pacific Cougars roared back for a 27-24 victory. The Buffs were led on the ground by senior Geremy Alridge-Mitchell who rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, while senior quarterback Preston Rabb added 91 yards on the ground as he was 25 of 44 with one interception for 131 yards and a touchdown. Senior Jarrian Rhone caught a game-high seven balls for 83 yards and a score. It was truly a tale of two halves for the Buffs as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter, settling for a 21-10 lead at halftime. In the first half, WT rushed the ball 14 times for 161 yards and passed for 109 yards. WT held APU to just 56 yards rushing in the half on 22 carries and 122 passing yards. The Buffs struggled offensively in the second half as the defense was on the field for a majority of the final half. In the second half, WT rushed the ball for 100 yards and passed for just 22 yards. APU, on the other hand, heated up rushing for 80 yards and passed for 213 yards. APU was led by Kurt Scoby who had 22 carries on 78 yards, while Ryan Adams ha 12 carries for 24 yards and a score. Quarterback Chad Jeffries was 17 of 32 with two interceptions, while passing for 269 yards and throwing two touchdowns. For the game, WT had 30 rushes for 261 yards, while passing for 131 yards and a total of 392 yards. APU rushed for 136 on 46 carries and passed for269 for a total of 405. A big difference in the second half was ball control as APU held the ball for 19:38, while WT had the ball for just 10:22. APU led in time of possession for the game 36:41 to 23:19. Following a missed field goal on the Cougars’ opening possession by freshman Jacob Hall, the Buffs methodically moved down field with two passes to Rhone and Rabb using his feet for a 21-yard gain. On a 3rd and nine from the APU 14, Rabb found Rhone for a score and a 7-0 lead. APU punted on its next possession as WT took over at its own 18. Rabb again moved the Buffs down field. A pass interference penalty on APU on a 3rd and 12 gave WT new life in the drive. On a 4th and 1 for WT at its own 40, Alridge-Mitchell busted through the middle for a 60-yard touchdown run and a 14-0 lead. On the first play of the second quarter, APU quarterback Andrew Elffers caught the Buffs napping and scored on a 42-yard rush, but the play was called back due to an offensive facemask penalty. Two more penalties followed on the Cougars as they were forced to punt. WT punted on its possession, but junior Devontae Merriweather picked off the Jeffries pass at the APU 45 on the ensuing drive. From there, WT marched down field as Rabb connected on another long pass to Rhone and Alridge-Mitchell scored from two yards out for a 21-0 lead. The Cougars got on the board midway through the second quarter courtesy of a personal foul and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty racking up 30 yards for APU. From there, the Cougars scored on Adams’ rush from one yard out for a 21-7

score. APU added a field goal with 28 seconds left in the half for a 21-10 score. Following a 20-yard punt into a 15 mph wind by Blaine Aguiar, the Buffs took over midway through the third at their own 46. Rabb used his feet once again for a 16-yard rush on 3rd and 10 and a pair of runs by junior Eddy Williams set the Buffs up at the 21. The drive stalled there as junior kicker Conner Hollabaugh made the score 24-10 with a 38-yard field goal with 7:51 left in the quarter. APU responded with a 13-play, 73yard drive capping 7:03 as Hall kicked a 21-yard field goal for a 24-13 score heading into the final quarter. Jeffries used a 30-yard pass to Ethan Zeidler and a 25-yard pass to Scoby for a score cutting the WT lead to 24-20. Following a WT punt, which APU fumbled but was able to recover, the Cougars used a 10-play, 78-yard drive consuming 5:26 on the clock to take the lead for the first time. On the drive, APU converted a 3rd and three on a personal foul penalty on the Buffs for a helmet coming off and then Jeffries tossed a 27-yard strike to Josiah Thropay for the 27-24 lead. WT had the beginning of a good drive moving to its own 45, but a 5-yard loss and an incomplete pass forced the Buffs to punt with 4:04 left. Jeffries was intercepted for the second time in the game – this time by junior Tevin Creeks giving WT new life at the APU 40. WT was unable to move the ball and got in a 4th and 15 situation as Rabb picked up 12 yards on the scramble turning the ball over on downs. APU ran out the clock for the win. Defensively, the Buffs were led by sophomore Hunter Streuling who had 8.5 tackles with one pass breakup, including six solo stops. Creeks added 7.5 tackles with an interception, while Merriweather added 5.5 tackles and an INT. Seniors John Sheehy and Alex Tucci each had sacks in the contest.

2016 BUFFALO OPPONENTS
CANYON, Texas – In a thrilling back-and-forth game, that saw touchdowns in all facets of the game and a combined eight turnvoers, the West Texas A&M football team upset No. 2 Colorado State-Pueblo 31-30 Saturday evening at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium. With the win, the Buffs improved to 1-1 on the year and CSUP fell to 1-1. The win by the Buffs snapped the nation’s longest winning streak as CSUP had won its last 10 games including the national championship last season. CSUP entered the game ironically tied with the longest winning streak with Azusa Pacific who WT played last week. For the second week in a row the game came down to the wire as CSUP backup quarterback AJ Thompson was intercepted by junior Davontae Merriweather at the CSUP 24 yard line with less than five minutes remaining with the game tied at 24. It was the fourth INT by the Buffs in the game. WT backup quarterback sophomore Ethan Brinkley found senior Geremy Alridge-Mitchell out of the backfield for a 14-yard pass to the CSUP eight with under four minutes left. Alridge-Mitchell, on 3rd and goal from the four, scored his third rushing touchdown and fourth touchdown of the game for a 31-24 lead. CSUP’s Kieren Duncan took the kickoff 98 yards to the house for a touchdown. The Thunderwolves then called a timeout, which proved costly, as they ended up going for two and missing as holder Jarred Radebaugh passed to Zach Boyd came up short as WT held on to the 31-30 lead. CSUP attempted the onside kick, but junior Davontae Merriweather came up with the onside kick for the Buffs. Alridge-Mitchell ran for six yards on first and second down as CSUP called its final timeouts on the drive. On a 3rd and four, Alridge-Mitchell came up a yard short. WT drained the clock to 58 seconds before a timeout. Alridge-Mitchell got the first down to seal the win. The win gave the Buffs their second win in the series with CSUP as the Thunderwolves lead 3-2 now and was the first win in the regular season against CSUP. The previous WT win was a 34-13 victory on Dec. 1, 2012, in Pueblo in the NCAA National Quarterfinal. WT improved to 28-24 against ranked teams since 2005. It was the 162nd win at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium (162-125-3) and the 496th win in program history (496-492-22). It also gave WT a win against a ranked team in each of the past four seasons.

WEST TEXAS A&M BUFFALOES VS. TARLETON STATE TEXANS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2015 • AT&T STADIUM • ARLINGTON, TEXAS • (11,094)
BUFFS WIN OFFENSIVE THRILLER AT AT&T STADIUM, 52-38 ARLINGTON, Texas – Coming to AT&T Stadium has been good to the West Texas A&M football team as it improved to 5-0 all-time there with a thrilling, back-and-forth, 52-38 victory over Tarleton State Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Buffs improved to 2-1 on the year and 1-0 in Lone Star Conference play, while Tarleton State fell to 0-2 and 0-1 in league play. Behind a career-high 236 yards on the ground by reigning Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week, senior Geremy Alridge-Mitchell, the Buffs ended a two-game skid against Tarleton State and gave WT head coach Mike Nesbitt his first win against the Texans at the helm of the Buffs. Brinkley, a sophomore in his first career start, went 15 of 22 for 256 yards and threw three touchdown passes. Another Buff had his first career start behind center at AT&T Stadium as Dustin Vaughan started in the Buffs’ 42-21 victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville, on Sept. 17, 2011. Vaughan also was a sophomore that year in the inaugural LSC Football Festival. Alridge-Mitchell becomes the first Buff to rush for over 200 yards since Khiry Robinson rushed for 235 yards in a thrilling 38-30 victory at No. 20 Chadron State in the first round of the NCAA playoffs in 2012. Alridge-Mitchell moved into fifth all-time in career rushing yards with 2,543 as he surpassed Bill Cross (2,474), Keithon Flemming (2,433) and Duane Thomas (2,376). Also, he has 260 career points ranking him fifth all-time in scoring. Alridge-Mitchell entered the game leading the nation in scoring at 18.0 points per game. The Buffs tallied a season-high 501 yards of total offense and scored 52 points which was the most of the season and gave Nesbitt a 9-0 record when scoring 50 points or more. WT had 245 yards rushing for the game on 41 carries and passed for 256 yards. The Buffs committed one turnover in the contest, while forcing three. WT senior wide receiver Word Hudson had five catches for 129 yards and a score to lead the team. Defensively the Buffs were led by a career-high 17 tackles with 10 solo stops by sophomore Trevor Myklebust as WT made 106 tackles in the game, including 74 solo stops. Reigning LSC Defensive Player of the Week, sophomore Hunter Streuling, had another outstanding game with 13 total tackles, 10 solo stops and a fumble return for 29 yards. Junior Davontae Merriweather had a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown. It was his third interception of the season. Tarleton State had 499 yards of offense in the game with 172 on the ground and 327 through the air. Quarterback Zed Woerner went 36 of 57 with two interceptions and one touchdown. Daniel McCants led the team with 91 yards on the ground on eight carries. Jabari Anderson had two rushing scores on 12 carries for 54 yards, while Zach Henshaw led the team with nine catches for 68 yards. Defensively, Kevin Baker led the way with a game-high 18 total tackles, including 12 solo stops. Chase Varnado had a 48-yard fumble recovery for a score as well. For the third consecutive year, the Buffs started slow in the LSC Football Festival as TSU jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter capped on an Anderson 8-yard run. From there, Alridge-Mitchell broke free for a 55-yard run and score as WT went just three plays for 73 yards in 0:56 seconds to answer back. After Tarleton State tried a fake punt and came up short, the Buffs went just three plays once again as Alridge-Mitchell scored from 29 yards out for a 14-14 score. Tarleton State regained the lead with a field goal with a long drive, but the Buffs came

back with the Merriweather interception as Woerner was under duress and Merriweather took it to the house for a 21-17 WT lead. It was the first INT returned for a touchdown by the Buffs since Curtis Slater ran one back for 85 yards at Angelo State on Oct. 6, 2012. The Buffs benefitted once again from a TSU miscue as Henshaw fumbled at his own 35 with a hit from senior Ethan Morriss. Streuling picked up the ball and raced 29 yards to the TSU six. A personal foul penalty brought the ball back to the 21. From there, Brinkley found Hudson for 15 yards and Alridge-Mitchell scored his third touchdown of the half for a 28-17 lead. The Buffs went for it on 4th and seven from the TSU 37 on the opening possession of the second half. Dakota Hesskew sacked Brinkley forcing a fumble as Varnado scooped and had an open field for 48 yards and the score for a 28-24 WT lead. On the ensuing possession, the Buffs marched to the TSU 35 as junior kicker Conner Hollabaugh, who missed a field goal earlier in the game, drilled a career-long of 52 yards for a 31-24 WT lead with 8:32 left in the third. The Texans used a steady diet of Anderson on the next possession as he accounted for 35 yards on the ground, including the tying touchdown for a 31-31 score with 5:34 left in the third. WT once again had the answer as Brinkley found a wide-open Hudson streaking down the far side for a 73-yard catch and run for a 38-21 lead with 4:39 left in the third. WT scored in the opening moments of the fourth quarter as Brinkley found senior Xavier Amey for 53 yards and a 45-38 lead. Following a Tarleton State punt, WT regained possession at the TSU 47. Alridge-Mitchell ran for 22 yards on four carries and then Brinkley found senior Dimitri Donald for a 24-yard strike and score and a 52-38 lead. Woerner was intercepted on a 4th and three from the WT six by junior RaShawn DuPree as Woerner was chased out of the pocket by a host of Buffs and threw up a desperation pass right to DuPree. The Buffs return home next week for Homecoming 2015 versus conference rival Angelo State who will most likely enter the game ranked nationally. It’ll be the third nationally ranked team the Buffs will have faced in the first four weeks of the season. Game time is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium.

unable to convert in to a touchdown, but senior Conner Hollabaugh kicked a 32yard field goal pulling WT within 21-17 with 11:39 left in the half. Washington scored his second rushing touchdown of the half as he broke a couple of tackles for an 80-yard run for a 28-17 lead with 4:24 left in the half. WT had to punt back to Angelo with over two minutes left in the half as the Rams moved down to the 23. ASU went for it again on fourth down and came up empty with 43 seconds left in the half as the Buffs held trailing 28-17 at intermission. WT has 14 rushes for 76 yards and Brinkley went 10 of 12 passing for 113 yards. ASU held a 20-6 lead in first downs and WT was 0 of 5 on third down, while ASU was 6 of 10 on third down. WT finished the game 4 of 14 on third down, while ASU was 9 of 19. Alridge-Mitchell had six carries for 78 yards for the Buffs, while Washington and Byrd each had two rushing touchdowns for the Rams as Washington had 124 yards rushing on eight carries and Byrd had 78 yards on the ground on 12 touches. After a three-and-out by the Buffs to open the third quarter, ASU moved the ball a bit, but Washington was sacked by senior Iosia Iosia as the Buffs had been inching closer and closer to getting to Washington as the game went along. It was the first sacked allowed by ASU of the season. WT also had the first sack against the Rams last season in the Buffs’ 58-41 victory in San Angelo. A fumble and an interception by the Buffs stymied scoring chances late in the third quarter as the Buff “D” had risen to the occasion in the third quarter stopping the high-powered Ram attack. ASU had a 3rd and three at its own 47 heading into the fourth quarter as the Buffs held, but WT had to punt on their next possession early in the final quarter. Following a combined 45 points in the first half, neither team scored in the third quarter. ASU moved down the field with a long drive and scored from three yards out on a rushing touchdown from Trey Green for a 35-17 lead with 6:57 left in the game. The Rams ran out most of the clock before punting as WT got the ball back with less than one minute remaining.

CANYON, Texas – The West Texas A&M football team dropped a 35-17 decision to No. 6 Angelo State on Homecoming Saturday evening. With the loss, the Buffs fell to 2-2 on the year and 1-1 in Lone Star Conference play, while Angelo State improved to 4-0 and 1-0 in league play. The high-powered Angelo State offense put up 607 yards in the game with 376 passing yards from Lone Star Conference Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Kyle Washington on 34 of 49 passing.

WT had 302 yards of offense with 211 passing yards from sophomore quarterback Ethan Brinkley on 25 of 36 with one interception and one touchdown.

It also snapped his string of 12 consecutive games of rushing over 100 yards dating back to Sept. 20, 2014. WT senior wide receiver Xavier Amey had five catches for 101 yards and a touchdown. The loss snapped a streak of 10-straight wins for the Buffs on Homecoming as the last loss on Homecoming came to Midwestern State in 2004. It also snapped a string of nine-straight wins by the Buffs over Angelo State dating back to a 58-53 setback in Canyon on Oct. 22, 2005. Angelo State improved to 15-13 all-time in the series with the Buffs. Junior Davontae Merriweather had a career-high 18 tackles in his first career start for the Buffs. He had 11 solo stops with a half a tackle for loss. Sophomore Trevor Myklebust had 16 tackles with two tackles for loss and junior Tevin Creeks had 12 tackles.

The Buff “D” held ASU to a three-and-out setting up a punt as senior returner Jarrian Rhone took the punt to the house for 65 yards and a score for 7-0 WT lead in the first quarter. It was the first punt return for a touchdown for the Buffs since Jason Jones returned a punt 66 yards for a score on Sept. 11, 2004, against Central Oklahoma. The Rams marched down the field on their ensuing possession, going 12 plays for 65 yards and 3:48 off the clock as Washington scored from one yard out for a 7-7 score with 8:30 left in the first quarter. With a quick strike on the next WT possession, Brinkley threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Amey for a 14-7 lead with 7:48 left in the first quarter. It matched Brinkley’s career-long pass which was set last week versus Tarleton State at AT&T Stadium. Washington connected with Donovan Thompson for 63 yards setting up a five yard touchdown run by Ryan Byrd to tie the game at 14 with 6:29 left in the quarter as both offenses were clicking in the early going. In the early moments of the second quarter, the Rams got bailed out on a pass interference penalty on a fourth and 11 from the WT 21 for a first and 10 at the 11. From there, Byrd scored from 11 yards out for his second rushing touchdown of the game for a 21-14 ASU lead. The Rams went nine plays for 88 yards, using 3:43 off the clock.

WEST TEXAS A&M BUFFS AT #12 MIDWESTERN STATE MUSTANGS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2015 • MEMORIAL STADIUM • WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS • (8,611)
BUFFS COME UP SHORT IN 24-17 LOSS AT #12 MIDWESTERN STATE WICHITA FALLS, Texas – In a very physical football game Saturday evening, the West Texas A&M football team came up just short in a 24-17 loss at No. 12 Midwestern State. With the loss, WT fell to 2-3 on the year and 1-2 in Lone Star Conference play, while MSU improved to 6-0 and 4-0 in league play. With the victory by MSU, the Mustangs take a 3-1 lead in the Highway 287 Challenge. Despite the loss, WT senior Geremy Alridge-Mitchell had another outstanding running game as he finished with a career-high 40 carries for 189 yards and a touchdown. MSU’s Vincent Johnson had 17 carries for 190 yards and two scores. The Buffs tallied 378 yards of total offense in the game with 202 rushing yards and 176 passing yards. MSU had 271 yards rushing and 453 yards of total offense with 182 yards passing. Penalties proved costly for the Buffs as they committed 15 penalties in the game for 95 yards and a number of false starts and offside miscues at inopportune times. The loss snapped a two-game winning streak by the Buffs as MSU pulled to within 16-13 in the all-time season series. WT was going for its third-straight win in Wichita Falls. Alridge-Mitchell now has 746 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground this season. His 189 yards Saturday gives him 2,831 for his career as he ranks fifth all-time in school history. His touchdown gives him 60 points for the season and 266 points for his career also ranking him fifth in school history. In a penalty-plagued first half that saw fumbles by both teams Alridge-Mitchell had 26 carries for 118 yards to lead the Buffs, while Vincent Johnson and Don Jerry each had touchdown rushes for the Mustangs. MSU held a 198-183 lead in total offense in the half, while WT held an 11-8 lead in first downs. WT sophomore quarterback Ethan Brinkley was 10 of 16 for 48 yards, while MSU quarterback Quade Coward was 9 of 14 for 123 yards. Junior wide receiver Chris Gilchrist had five catches for 25 yards for the Buffs, while Brieion Evans and Statron Jones had five catches combined for 86 yards for the Mustangs. Both teams fumbled away their first possessions in the other team’s red zone as the Buffs fumbled on a 2nd and 13 from their own 13. MSU then fumbled it away from the WT four as junior Alex Olson recovered for the Buffs. Following the Midwestern State fumble, the Buffs had to punt as MSU took over at the WT 49 with 13 minutes left in the opening quarter. Coward tossed a 40-yard strike to Jones to the WT nine on the first play and Johnson scored on second and goal from the nine for a 7-0 lead. The Buffs put together a drive on their next possession as Brinkley connected with senior Xavier Amey on a 3rd and 6 from the WT 40 for a first down. Back-to-back rushes by from Alridge-Mitchell put the Buffs in field goal position as junior Conner Hollabaugh connected from 46 yards for a 7-3 deficit with 8:02 left in the first quarter. The Mustangs had a long pass to Evans deep into WT territory at the end of the quarter, but was called back due to a penalty as the quarter ended. The second quarter saw numerous penalties as the teams combined for 15 penalties for 105 yards in the half. The Buffs were running the ball to kill the clock, but a fumble proved costly as MSU’s Herb Whitehurst took the fumble back to the WT six. Jerry scored for a 14-3 lead. It marked the first time since the Wagon Wheel game last season at Eastern New Mexico (Nov. 1, 2014) that WT was held without a touchdown in the first half. On the first possession of the third quarter for the Mustangs, junior defensive back Will Toliver picked off the Coward offering and scored from 30 yards out for a 14-10

deficit. It was Toliver’s first career interception and first interception return for a touchdown since junior Davontae Merriweather returned one Sept. 19 versus Tarleton State in the Lone Star Football Festival. The Mustangs benefited from three crucial offside penalties giving MSU two first downs and offsetting a snap over Coward’s head which went back inside the MSU 20. Following the offside penalties, Coward scampered for 17 yards to the WT 21. On a third and goal from the WT 13, Coward tossed to Derek Lockhart in the flat, but Toliver made a touchdown-saving tackle at the three as the Mustangs settled for a field goal attempt from Andy Alkhazshvilly from 20 yards for a 17-10 lead. On the ensuing WT drive, Alridge-Mitchell ran up the gut for a 31-yard run for a 1st and 10 at the MSU 16. A screen pass to junior Terrance Drew setup a 4th and 1 for the Buffs at the MSU nine. A false start penalty forced WT for the field goal as Hollabaugh missed, but was interfered with moving the ball back to a 4th and one. WT sent the offense back on the field and the quarterback sneak by Brinkley gave WT a first down. Another false start moved the Buffs back to the 10. Brinkley’s pass was intercepted in the end zone by Dominique Williams. MSU marched down the field and had a first and 10 from the WT 20 when the fourth quarter began. On 3rd and two the Mustangs were stopped as Olson came up with a tackle and Alkhazshvilly missed the field goal from 27 yards. WT again went for it on 4th and 1 from the 50 following the field goal miss and another false start penalty moved the Buffs back forcing them to punt once again. MSU muffed the punt, but was able to recover at its own 15. From there, Johnson ran outside and hurdled a WT tackler running 84 yards for a touchdown and a 24-10 lead. The Buffs marched down the field late in the contest converting one fourth down and Brinkley found senior Xavier Amey for a 43-yard catch to the MSU three. Alridge-Mitchell scored from three yards out for a 24-17 score with 1:30 left in the contest. WT attempted an onside kick and almost came up with it as junior punter Felipe Parra kicked it on the misdirection instead of Hollabaugh. MSU ran out the clock for the win. The Buffs return home to host Texas A&M-Commerce next Saturday at 5 p.m. at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium.

CANYON, Texas – Double-digit scoring in the second and fourth quarters were too much as No. 14 Texas A&M-Commerce defeated West Texas A&M 38-20 Saturday evening. With the loss, the Buffs fell to 2-4 on the year and 1-3 in Lone Star Conference play, while TAMUC improved to 6-1 overall and 5-0 in league play. WT finished the game with 314 yards of offense on 266 passing yards and 48 rushing yards. Junior transfer Devon Paye led the team in rushing with 46 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown, while sophomore quarterback Ethan Brinkley was 26 of 41 for 266 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Senior Xavier Amey led the team with 93 receiving yards on six catches.

A nice pass from Brinkley to Amey and good rushes from Paye as he scored from one yard out for a 7-0 WT lead with 1:49 left in the first quarter. The drive was 16 plays for 80 yards and used 7:14 on the clock for the longest drive of the season. The Lions came right back and used some nice runs to the WT one yard line. TAMUC quarterback Gabriel Rodriguez appeared to have fumbled the ball with the Buffs recovering, but the referee said Rodriguez passed the ball and it was an incomplete pass keeping the drive alive. Buck Wilson, out of the wildcat, scored tying the game at seven early in the second quarter on a nine play, 75 yard drive using 3:24 off the clock. On the first pass from scrimmage for the Buffs, Brinkley’s pass was intercepted by Demarlon Morris at the WT 23. Texas A&M-Commerce had two negative plays setting up a 3rd and 15 from the WT 27. A run by Wofford got the Lions to the 20 forcing a fourth down. Kristov Martinez missed the 37-yard field goal wide right as the turnover didn’t hurt the Buffs. The Buffs had to punt, but Shawn Hooks fumbled the ball setting the Buffs up at the TAMUC 23. WT reached the seven, but settled for a 23-yard field goal from junior Conner Hollabaugh for a 10-7 Buff lead with 7:37 left in the first half. It didn’t take long for Commerce to answer as Cooper had an 18-yard run and Darby Smith caught a 53-yard touchdown pass from Stewart on the next play giving the Lions their first lead of the game at 14-10 with 7:03 remaining in the half.

2015 SEASON RECAP - GAME 7 WEST TEXAS A&M BUFFS AT TEXAS A&M-KINGSVILLE JAVELINAS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2015 • JAVELINA STADIUM • KINGSVILLE, TEXAS • (3,000)
BUFFS OVERCOME WIND, RAIN AND JAVELINAS, 24-14 KINGSVILLE, Texas – On a rainy and windy night in South Texas, the West Texas A&M Buffs got a hard-fought, 24-14 victory Saturday evening, snapping a three-game skid and spoiling TAMUK’s Homecoming. The Buffs improved to 3-4 on the year and 2-3 in Lone Star Conference play. TAMUK fell to 1-7 on the year and 0-5 in league play. WT senior Geremy Alridge-Mitchell set a new school-record in carries with 45 as he recorded 149 yards on the ground with one touchdown. Alridge-Mitchell set the previous school-record of 40 carries at Midwestern State on Oct. 10. Sophomore quarterback Ethan Brinkley was 12 of 21 for 121 yards and a touchdown, while senior Jarrian Rhone caught five balls for 49 yards and a score. The Buffs had 378 yards of offense with 121 passing yards and 257 rushing yards to go along with 25 first downs. WT held TAMUK to 193 yards of total offense on 136 rushing yards and just 57 yards passing, while the Javelinas had just 11 first downs. Defensively, the Buffs were led by sophomores Hunter Streuling and Carter James as they each had seven tackles, while Streuling had one of three big interceptions in the game. WT had five sacks in the game, seven tackles for loss and forced five turnovers. Following a punt by the Javelinas on their first possession into a stiff 18 mph wind of the North, the Buffs took over in TAMUK territory and got a first down, but stalled as junior Conner Hollabaugh attempted a 54-yard field goal going wide right. TAMUK regained possession at its own 37. The Javelinas got a nice run up the middle from Shawn Vasquez down to the WT 38. From there, quarterback Myles Carr threw right at senior John Sheehy, who intercepted the pass and returned it 65 yards for a WT touchdown as the Buffs led 7-0 with 9:46 left in the first quarter. It marked the third interception return for a touchdown by the Buffs this season. It was Sheehy’s first career touchdown. TAMUK came right back with a steady diet of running from Shawn Vasquez and Greg Pitre as the Javelinas marched to the WT six for a second and goal. On third down, the Javelinas got the benefit of a roughing the passer penalty as he was injured on the play. Trey Mitchell, who started the game, used an option run on a bootleg for a touchdown tying the game at seven with 6:06 left in the first quarter. On a 3rd and eight for the Buffs from their own 38, Brinkley tossed a screen pass to Alridge-Mitchell as he prolonged the drive with a great run and spin move to pick up the first down. A face mask penalty helped the Buffs in the red zone as Alridge-Mitchell scored from five yards out for a 14-7 WT lead with 1:23 left in the first quarter. It was Alridge-Mitchell’s tenth rushing touchdown of the season. The Buffs played the clock management game as a sack of the third quarterback for the Javelinas, Steve Joe Dorman by Sheehy, forced a third and long and then a run for about eight yards forced a fourth down. WT used two timeouts to force the Javelinas to punt into the 18 mph wind before the first quarter expired. Rhone called a fair catch and was taken out by a TAMUK player and a flag was thrown. After a lengthy discussion of the referees, the referee waived off the flag and WT set up on offense. Before the play, the refs whistled as TAMUK called an apparent timeout. After another lengthy discussion, the referees reversed the call saying a TAMUK player was blocked into Rhone as he fumbled the ball and TAMUK recovered. From there, Vasquez scampered 34 yards and then Dorman threw a touchdown pass to tight end Chris Cooper for a touchdown and a tie game at 14 with 14:29 left in the first half. The teams didn’t score the rest of the half, but the Buffs had two good chances as Dorman fumbled the snap at his own 18 as junior Alex Olson recovered the fumble for his team-leading third recovery of the season. Alridge-Mitchell ran 13 yards on first down to the five, but the Buffs were stopped on the next three downs. Hollabaugh

attempted a 20-yard field goal and missed wide right. The Buffs got the ball back late in the half as Brinkley hooked up with senior Xavier Amey for 12 yards to the TAMUK 34. Alridge-Mitchell picked up a first down to the TAMUK 22. A false start moved the Buffs back five and a 10-second run off by rule as the clock was running from the previous play. WT was unable to get into the end zone and, with no timeouts, was unable to kick a field goal in that situation. Alridge-Mitchell had 24 carries for 76 yards and a score to lead the Buffs in the first half. Brinkley was 4 of 10 passing for 39 yards and Amey had two catches for 22 yards. The Buffs had 154 yards of offense on 45 plays. TAMUK had 150 yards of offense on 122 rushing yards and 28 passing yards. Vasquez led the Javelinas with 91 yards rushing on eight carries. On a third and 12 for the Buffs at their own 34, Brinkley found junior Terrance Drew in coverage for a big first down at the TAMUK 38. Alridge-Mitchell then scampered 12 yards to the 26 as the offense found a spark with the catch by Drew. The Buffs settled for a 31-yard field goal attempt and it was blocked by the Javelinas and recovered by TAMUK’s Brandon Robinson who had a shot to go the distance, but was pulled down at the 30. Following a three-and-out by the Javelinas, the Buffs spelled Alridge-Mitchell for junior Devon Paye who had a number of nice runs with a 1-2 punch of Alridge-Mitchell and Paye. WT again completed a long third down with a couple of nice moves from Rhone on a catch from Brinkley to the TAMUK 28. Brinkley and Drew connected for a bootleg down to the TAMUK 11 for a first down. On 3rd and goal from the two, Rhone was stopped in the backfield two times back to the 10-yardline, but dodged tacklers and scored a touchdown for a 21-14 lead with 2:35 left in the third quarter. WT punter Felipe Parra got the Buffs out of their own end with a career-long 76-yard punt with 8:04 remaining as the rain and wind picked up in the fourth quarter. Later, the Buffs regained possession and marched down to the TAMUK 19 as Hollabaugh nailed a 36-yard field goal for a 24-14 lead with 2:35 left. Dorman was sacked on the first play from scrimmage following the field goal and then threw the third interception of the game – this time to Streuling to seal the game. The Buffs return home to face rival Eastern New Mexico for Senior Day next Saturday at 12 p.m. at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium. The Buffs look to bring the Wagon Wheel back to Canyon as ENMU has won the previous two battles for the annual Wagon Wheel and has won three-straight in the series.
