Head coach Mark Elder has the program back on track to add to those numbers. Elder has engineered three straight top-25 rated recruiting classes, re-stocking the Colonel roster with a talented young core, and the results are showing on the field. He has also driven dramatic facility improvements. The program now has a brand new, state-of-theart strength and conditioning center that includes an indoor turf area and the second-largest nutrition bar in all of college athletics. The Moberly Building, home of EKU football, underwent a remodel and now includes a team room with theatre seating, and new graphics and signage throughout the complex, highlighting the program’s past and its present. The crown jewel of the facilities revitalization project opened in the fall of 2017. The new east side of Roy Kidd Stadium features a brand new team locker room with a team lounge, equipment room and a game day training area. The expansion project added over 3,000 new seats and a new concourse with modern concession facilities. Despite having less than two months to put together his first recruiting class, after being hired in mid-December, Eastern’s 2016 class was ranked as the 23rd best in the nation. With more time to spend scouting future Colonels, Elder’s second recruiting class was rated as the 14th best in the country. This class featured 20 players that received all-state honors, including the No. 17 overall FCS recruit in the nation, Sean Cleasant. The 2018 recruiting class was EKUSports.com ranked 11th nationally. The class was rated higher than such programs as Jacksonville State, James Madison, Montana, North Dakota, Southern Illinois, Furman, Illinois State and Sam Houston State. The results of improved recruiting can be seen on the field. In September 2017, the Colonels went on the road and put a scare into a pair of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams that would go on to play in bowl games. At Western Kentucky, EKU closed to within 10 twice in the second half and drove to the WKU six yard line as time expired in the fourth quarter of a 14-point loss. Eastern led for nearly three quarters at Kentucky before the Wildcats staged a comeback. Eastern Kentucky’s margin of defeat against two FBS bowl teams was just 12.5 points. In his second year as head coach the defense showed strong improvement under Elder. In 2017 the Colonels allowed their opponents 62 fewer yards and four fewer points per game. An improved rushing defense allowed 571 fewer yards on the ground than the year before. The passing defense improved as well, by 112 yards. EKU ranked first in the league and eighth in FCS with 13 fumbles recovered. The Colonels were second in the Ohio Valley Conference and 38th nationally in sacks (2.36/g). Offensively in 2017, quarterback Tim Boyle threw for 2,134 yards, the fifth most ever in one season in program history. As a team, EKU led the OVC in passing and completion percentage. On special teams, Eastern ranked first in FCS football in kickoff returns and second in net punting. The Colonels haven’t just improved on the field the past two seasons under Elder’s guidance, they’ve improved off the field as well. Quarterback Tyler Swafford earned the 2016 Doris Robinson FCS Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. As a team, Eastern Kentucky has had one of the two highest graduation rates of any team in the conference. Linebacker Jeffrey Canady was chosen Academic All-District each of the past two seasons. In addition, EKU has had a player chosen as a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, recognizing the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation, each of the past two seasons – Avery Pitt in 2016 and Canady in 2017. • The Mark Elder File Name: Mark Elder Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio Family: Lindsey (wife), Owen (son), Lila (daughter) Education: Case Western Reserve, cum laude economics, 2000.

He had served as the tight ends coach and special teams coordinator at the University of Tennessee since 2013. “The passion and focus that Mark Elder has brought to EKU football has exceeded my expectations,” Director of Athletics Stephen Lochmueller said. “His outstanding recruiting capabilities are being recognized nationally. I have no doubt, he’ll have this program back where it belongs soon, in the top of the Ohio Valley Conference and competing for national championships.” “I’m excited, blessed and honored for the opportunity to lead one of the most tradition rich programs in college football,” Elder said. “It didn’t take me long to realize that this is a special place. Lindsey and I have truly enjoyed becoming a part of the EKU and Richmond community.” Elder is the 14th head coach in program history. “It is humbling to have the opportunity to lead the same program that legendary coach Roy Kidd built into a national powerhouse,” said Elder. “It’s important to me that we maintain the standards, both on and off the field, which coach Kidd established during his Hall of Fame career.” Over his final 11 seasons as an assistant coach, Elder helped his teams reach nine bowl games and win four conference championships.

The Bearcats won two Big East Conference Championships and made two bowl appearances in three seasons. “One of the things that I really like about Mark is he’s a very well-rounded coach,” Lochmueller said. “He has coached on the defensive side, the offensive side and on special teams. He has a strong background of success coaching each phase of the game. He also has coached at a variety of different levels of college football, all the way from Division II to the top of the mountain in college football – the SEC.” In 2015, Elder’s guidance helped Tennessee lead the nation in kickoff returns (33.41 ypr) and rank fourth in punt returns (17.18 ypr). The Volunteers had the second best kickoff return defense in the SEC and 14thbest in the nation (18.24 ypg). UT’s Evan Berry led the nation, and broke the UT record, with an average of 38.3 yards per kickoff return. Cameron Sutton led the country with an average of 18.7 yards per punt return. Berry was second nationally with three kickoff returns for touchdowns while Sutton was second with two punt returns for touchdowns.

Tennessee ranked 11th nationally in punt return defense (3.23 ypr) and 5 14th in kickoff return average (24.03 ypr). In his first season in Knoxville, Elder helped punter/placekicker Michael Palardy become a semi-finalist for the prestigious Ray Guy Award. While coaching the running backs at Cincinnati in 2011 Elder tutored Isaiah Pead, the Big East Offensive Player of the Year and the first Bearcat in nearly 25 years to record consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. UC led the Big East in rushing and averaged 33.3 points per game. Cincinnati capped the season with a victory over Vanderbilt in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. In 2010, Elder guided tight end Ben Guidugli to second team All-Big East honors. In three seasons at Central Michigan, Elder produced an all-conference linebacker each year. He worked with All-Big Ten linebackers David Harris and Shawn Crable at Michigan.

EKUSports.com 58 �Football NCAA FCS History The 2018 campaign marks the 41st season for the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs. The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), North Dakota State (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Five of the last 10 FCS championship games have produced a first-time champ: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010, North Dakota State in 2011 and James Madison in 2017. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2018 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 5, 2019 and mark the ninth consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Roy Kidd Stadium was enhanced significantly in 2017. New east side seating was completed with 3,000 new bleacher seats and a concourse that features modern concessions and restroom facilities. The first floor is dedicated to the benefit of Colonel football student-athletes and includes a new team locker room featuring a team lounge, equipment room and a game day training area. The entire structure was constructed with future expansion and renovations to Roy Kidd Stadium in mind. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating for approximately 20,000 football spectators. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 49-year history. Entering the 2018 season, Eastern has won 220, lost 56, and tied 1 (.796 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. In the summer of 2013, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms and media interview room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. fell for the Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running back McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when All-American nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Governors as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and All-American candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records 61 @EKUSports �Football Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a game-winning field goal. EKUSports.com 62 �Football Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. AllOVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 314-124-8 (.705) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. Including the 2017 induction class, there are 46 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Jason Dunn, Kevin Greve, David Flores, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Elroy Harris, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Larry Kirksey, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Jim Moberly, Frank Nassida, Dale Patton, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Chuck Siemon, Jessie Small, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the EKUSports Communications office.

THE UNIVERSITY In Retrospect In years to come, Eastern Kentucky University's record books will probably tell you that Jimmy Brooks was the greatest runner in the school's history. They will point out that Brooks set a season rushing :mark as a freshman, when he was the leading first-year carrier in the nation. They'll also say he broke his own record as a sophomore. And there's every reason to believe he'll break it two more times, which will assure him of a spot among the top five rushers in college division football history . That's one of the reasons the cover picture shows Brooks in action. But it's doubtful that the record books will say anything about fullback Butch Evans. He's the other reason the cover picture was selected. It also shows Evans in his familiar spot -in front of Brooks-placing an enemy defender on the seat of his pants. In other words, Evans is Brooks' protector. He's the guy no one sees until the coaches grade the game films because Brooks is attracting all the attention with his deceptive moves. E x ample: t he cover picture shows Brooks' legs going one way and his body going another. It's one of those pictures that's worth a few thousand words. The cover was d esigned by staff artist Rodger True.

It was supposed to be one of those rebuilding years, a time all coaches have to live with every so often. But if it was a rebuilding year, Roy Kidd and his staff laid a nice foundation for the future. They compiled a 6-4 record and finished third in the Ohio Valley Conference, which is the kind of season that prompts a smug smile from many coaches. Kidd, in fact, wasn't all that disappointed (although it was his "Norst ·season in four years and he did feel he should have finished 7-3). What pleased him the most was the way his younger players performed. He knew most everyone would be back, and he was impressed with the attitude they showed. That attitude is part of the tradition Kidd has built. It took him two mediocre easons to get there, but since then the Colonels have A glance backward could not be · complete without mentioning Teddy Taylor, a three-time All-OVC choice and a first-team college division All-American last season. (That's him being carried off the field by his teammates after his last home game.) Many coaches who read this will be happy to kno~r No. 61 ,von't be around this season. (At least, Teddy won't be wearing it.) But No. 23 will. That jersey is worn by Jimmy Brooks, who has gained over 2,000 yards in two seasons and has his eye on the all-time national career rushing record.

The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrollment of appr oximat ely 10,000 students the University's student body has more than tripled. since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and lar ge, well-equipped academic structures are being built. But the quality of Eastern can be measured only by it s students. Today, the Eastern student is provided w ith a firm academic background. More resear ch facilities a re av ailable. The quality of its faculty continues to grow. The total growth began in 1960 when Dr. Robert R . l\tlartin assumed the presidency of Eastern, becoming its six th chief executive. With university status effective July 1, 1966, Eastern was reorganized into five colleges and a graduate school. Curricula in the Coleges of Applied Arts and Technology, Arts and Sciences, Business and Education lead to the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts or Associate of Arts degree. Central University College offers preparatory curricula for the first two years of the student's college career, providing a liberal base for a major in one of the advanced colleges. The master's degree is offered in education, English history, guidance and counseling for nonschool personnel, business administration, music education and biology. A Joint Doctoral Program in Education, sponsored in cooperation with the University of Kentucky, permits students to continue in residence at Eastern for one academic year beyond the master's degree. Founded as Eastern Kentucky State Normal School in 1906 by act of the State Legislature, Eastern was created to educate teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth. The institution annually produces more teachers than any other Kentucky college or university. The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs totaling over $70 million since 1960. During this period every existing major campus facility has been remodeled or completely reconstructed. A well-rounded sports program, both intercollegiate and intramural, is sponsored and encouraged by the University. Eastern is represented in intercollegiate competition in baseball, basketball, cross-country, football, golf, rifle, swim1ning, tennis and track. EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY 1 5 Dr. Robert R. Martin �THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE is "to regulate, control, and promote all the recognized branches of intercollegiate athletics in institutions represented." Through a gradual process, the Ohio Valley Conference was to become a league of Kentucky and Tennessee state colleges. Middle Tennessee State College joined the rolls in 1952, East Tennessee State University in 1957 and Austin Peay State College in the spring of 1962. They replaced Louisville, which became an independent in 1949, and Marshall and Evansville, which departed in 1952. In 1963, the league took another step forward by appointing Arthur L. Guepe, former foot ball coach and athletic director at Virginia and Vanderbilt Universities, as the OVC's first full-time commissioner. Annually, the OVC presents an All-Sports Trophy fo r over-all excellence in the entire athletic program. During the past four years, Eastern has won the trophy once and finished second twice. In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an Ohio Valley Conference. Sports writers speculated about the impending division of the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Virtually all agreed it was just a matter of time until the division took place and a new athletic conference was formed. Then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and America was plunged jnto World War II. Seven years later, after the hostilities had ceased, a pre-war dream became a post-war reality. The "Big Five" of the K. I. A. C. w ithdrew to form the Ohio Valley Conference. Making the move were Western Kentucky State College, Eastern Kentucky State College, Murray State College, Morehead State College and the University of Louisville. They were joined by Evansville College and, shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and Marshall College. Purpose of the 0. V.

That's the best place to start when describing Eastern Kentucky University's football coach. Roy Kidd has built one of the ten best college division football programs in America. That's another way to say it. But these facts are the tools used for measuring his success as a coach. What must also be said is that Roy Kidd is a paradox. A nice guy who finishes first. A football coach who is respected by his players, although he demands the ultimate in dedication and determination. the following year, and Kidd was elected Coach of th Year in the OVC. It was 1965 when the Kidd era really began to flex its muscles. Eastern has won 29 games, lost 10 and tied two since then, for a winning percentage of .755. They've captured two OVC championships, had an unbeaten string of 14 games in the league, and won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Regional championship (covering more than 100 teams in 10 states) by defeating Ball State 27-13 in the Grantland Rice Bowl. During the span, the Colonels were ranked in the top twenty in both wire service polls, going as high as second. These are the things that say, emphatically, Roy Kidd is a winner. He has a brilliant football mind. He is a strategist who isn't afraid to gamble when necessary. He is an organizer who has surrounded himself with winners on his staff. (When he talks football, his players and his staff are his two favorite subjects.) His ability to communicate with his players - to bridge the proverbial gap - stems from a realistic, matterof-fact attitude. He's a straight talker who pulls no punches and he's genuinely concerned about each individual as a player, as a student, and as a citizen. Much has been said about Roy Kidd's goals. He has accompHshed most of them. But there are two he's still pointing for. An unbeaten season and the national championship. They are energetic goals, to be sure. But then again, so were the others. Kidd is married to the former Susan Purcell of Richmond. They have three children, Marc (12) , Kathy (9) and Keith (7). It's a nice combjnation. Kidd started winning as a little leaguer in Corbin, Ky. He continued on the plus side of the ledger as a high school athlete and then as a football and baseball star at Eastern. When he was graduate assistant coach, Eastern went unbeaten and received an invitation to the Tangerine Bowl. Then he started coaching in high school, building tiny Madison into a state football powerhouse. He had a 54-10-1 record, a 27-game winning streak and 14 consecutive unscored-upon games. He was Kentucky Coach of the Year in 1961 when the Purples were ranked No. l in the state all season. He went to Morehead as an assistant coach in 1962 and helped guide the Eagles to their second winning season in 13 years and a share of the OVC championship. Then it was back to Eastern in 1963 where he served one year as an assistant before taking over the head job. His first season was the only time in his career as a head coach that he was associated with a losing team. The Colonels went 3-5-1. They improved that to 4-4-1 9 �Bo.b Harville Fred Francis Offensive Line Coach Offensive Backfield Coach Bobby Harville is an intensely dedicated y oung coach who relishes new challenges. Last season is a good ex ample. It was Harville who drew the assignment of developing a host of newcomers into a solid offensive line. He did just that. And he has them back this year. He has always been one of the versatile members of the staff. Harville's first year was spent with the off ensive backfield and the following season he coached the defensive secondary. That year the defense set a conference record with 20 interceptions. And those are the reasons Kidd per suaded Harville to join his staff in 1965 - he knew frmn experience the Harlan native was a dedicated worker with a keen knowl ed ge of all aspects of the game. Harville and Kidd's professional association began 1n 1957 at Richmond Madison. The next five years Harville spent as an assistant at Elizabethtown (Ky.) and Lancaster (Ohio) where the t eams with which he was associated compiled a 41-9 record. Then in 1965, Harville returned to Madison High School as it s head football coach. He was inher iting a t eam that w·as 4-6 and had graduated 13 senior s, three of whom were to play college football. But Harville brought the Roy al P urples' w inning football tradition back to life. Instilling basic fundamentals and a strong desire to win, he huilt a winn er. That year Madison had a 10-4 record, won the Central Kentucky Conference and lost t o Ft. Thomas Highlands fo r the state Class AA championship. Harville is 1narried to the former Sandra Sharp of South Fort Mitchell. They have three children, Robert Michael (11) , Virginia Louise (9) , and Leigh Ann (4). Affable, energetic Fred F r ancis has been a significant factor in the success of Eastern's football program. H e has developed an outstanding running attack built around All-American candidate Jimmy Brooks and he has play ed a major role in the Colonels' recruiting program. Francis' initial assignment when he in 1967 was to develop a ground attack w ell-established passing game. He did, the finest 1-2 running punch in the OVC fullback Butch Evans. came to Eastern to complement a molding perhaps with Brooks and Now, thanks to Francis, the Colonels are capable of striking with equal force by land or by air. Fred puts as much into a practice session as he expects from his runners. He's constantly in motion, shouting encouragement and sometim.es even going through drills with his players. His personable manner has helped attract several outstanding players on this year's club. His reputation on the high school coaching level is w ell established throughout Kentuck y. With Francis at the helm, St. Joseph Prep in Bardstown was r ecognized as one of the state's perennial Class A powers with a three-year 20-6-4 record. F r an cis' 1966 t eam was ranked ninth in the st ate, went t h rough the school's first und~feated -season with an 8-0-3 r ecord and defeated Class AA runner-up Lexington Henry Clay in the Recreation Bowl. He married Freda Catron of Lexington. two sons, Anthony (5) , and Timothy (3) . 10 They have �Bill Shannon Jack Ison Defensive Une Coach Defensive Backfield Coach Jack Ison f aces the only m aj or r ebuilding job on t h e Eastern football team. Graduation left him with only one full-tirne starter from last season. But Ison, a quiet, scholarly t y p e who devotes long hours to his specialty, has been called upon before to replace personnel at key positions. And he has done it. In fact, only once in four seasons has he welcomed a veteran unit to the defensive backfield. Still, the Colonels have ranked high in pass defense each year. The soft-spoken Kentuckian dev eloped the best pass defense in the OVC in his first season at Eastern. Since then, the Colonel secondary has gained a reputation for clutch play, especially deep in its own territory. Kidd is well aware of the 1961 Eastern graduate's coaching abilities - he gave Ison his first job at Richmond's Madison High School. After assisting Kidd to a 13-1 record and a Class AA r unner-up trophy in 1961, Ison was named head coach in 1962 when Kidd entered the college coaching field. The Royal Purples w ere 6-2-2 under his guidance. He received the M.A. degree from Eastern in 1963 and entered the University of Indiana graduate school that fall , ear ning 32 hours toward a doctorate. The Russell nativ e is married to the former Patricia Lykins, whom he met as a classmate at Eastern. They have two daughters, Elizabeth (8) and Melinda (4) . There is every reason to believe Bill Shannon is going t o enjoy this football season. He has a host of returning lettermen with good size and quickness and should r etain his reputation as a stingy person. Shannon's defensive units have established several r ecords at Easter n. In 1967, they gave up only 70 points in 10 games. Only one other college or university in the nation did better. The following season, the Colonels yielded less than 100 yards a game. Last season, considered a rebuilding phase for the coaching staff, Eastern finished second in the OVC in scoring defense. Shannon played a major role in developing Teddy Taylor into a first-team All-American last season and Taylor and Sid Yeldell are the only absentees this year. Noted for his humor off the field and dead-pan seriousness on the field, Shannon has developed an excellent r apport with each player, taking a special interest in t heir individual progress. Shannon enjoyed considerable success at Dixie Heights High School in South Fort Mitchell, winning three N orthern Kentucky Conference championships and the Recreation Bowl, and gaining a tie in his only Burley Bowl Appearance. The distinguished war veteran was Kentucky's Coach of the Year in 1955 and made three Kentucky East-West All-Star coaching appearances. The one-time Danville High School star is n1arried t o the former Mary Peters, also of Danville. She serv es as a registered nurse in the university infirmary. 11 �' JIMMY MOBERLY BOB BECK Graduate Assistant Graduate Assistant Jimmy Moberly is no stranger to the Colonel coaching staff. He played high school football under Roy Kidd, Bobby Harville, and Jack Ison while leading Richmond Madison to a place of prominence in Kentucky High School football. Moberly then went to Eastern, where he earned a starting job at linebacker his sophomore year. Defensive coach Bill Shannon called Jimmy "pound-for-pound, the finest football player in the country." Moberly's playing weight sometimes dipped as low a.s 165 pounds, but he called defensive signals and was a first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference choice his senior year. He will assist with the linebacking corps, a vital cog in Kidd's four-man front. Bob Beck is recognized as an expert of sorts at knocking defensive players on the seats of their pants. Beck came to Eastern without a scholarship but quickly earned one. He also earned four letters and a reputation as the best blocking back in the OVC. He was a prime ingredient in the Colonels' climb into the national spotlight. He was the second leading rusher on the team, set a new school scoring record, and was the starting full back on two OVC championship teams. But more importantly, he was a blocker. And that's exactly what he'll be teaching as a graduate assistant at Eastern. 12 �Glenn E. Presnell Director of Athlehcs Glenn Presnell has been associated with Eastern athletics for 22 years, serving the past six as the university's first full-time athletic director. In ten years as Eastern's football coach, he guided his teams to 42 victories, 49 losses and three ties. During that time, the Maroons won one OVC title outright and gained a four-way share of the crown in 1962. Until one of his students, Roy Kidd, won the 1967 and 1968 championships, Presnell was the only Kentucky coach who could claim more than one OVC halo. His first year as head coach, 1954, was his best. His Maroons went undefeated in season play and lost to Omaha University 7-6 in what is still regarded as the greatest Tangerine Bowl game ever played in Orlando, Florida. But Presnell was a football legend even befor,e he came to Eastern. Born at Gilead, Nebraska, Presnell was an AllAmerican halfback at Nebraska, and played in the EastW est All-Star Game in San Francisco at the end of his college career in 1927. Later, with the Portsmouth Spartans and the Detroit Lions in the National League, he ·was an all-league performer. Against Green Bay in 1934, the popular Presnell kicked a 54-yard field goal, which stood as the N.F.L. record for 19 years, and is still the second longest in the League's history. The NFL's 1964 yearbook cited Presnell as one of the key men in Detroit's 1935 championship. Presnell began his collegiate coaching career in 1937 as backfield coach at the University of Kansas. In 1938 he returned to Nebraska as backfield coach, and in 1942 he was named head coach there. Nebraska played Stanford in the Rose Bowl in 1941, while he was backfield coach of the Cornhuskers. In 1943 and '44, Presnell coached the backfield at North Carolina Pre-Flight, while serving as a naval officer. He returned to Nebraska in 1946, before coming to Eastern in the fall of 1947. He was named head coach in 1954. He married the former Lizbeth Gehrling of Ironton, Ohio, in 1929, and found in her his most faithful fan and supporter. They have one son, Danny, who teaches at Madison Central High School in Richmond. His chief hobby is golf, and he coaches the Eastern golfers, but he takes an interest in all sports. 13 �KEN MURRAY BILL QUICK KARL PARK Head Trainer Student Trainer Sports Information Director Ken Murray's contributions to East' ern's athletic program exceed the limits of a trainer. He is an energetic y oung man with unique talents and t otallv dedicated to his profession. But he also assumes many other responsibilities and, through his own initiative, bas sought to instill a sense of pride and determination among the players. His success as a trainer was evidenced during his first year w~en the Colo1:-els made it through an entire season without serious injury. A graduate of the University of Texas, Murray received his masters degree from East Tennessee State University. His training experience includes work on virtually . every level of competitive athletics. He · began with a high school program, adyanced to junior college, served as a student trainer at Texas and an assistant at East Tennessee. He also was a trainer for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. Murray, a son of missionary parents; was raised in Bulape, Congo Africa and speaks six languages fluently. He is married to the former Lenore Saunders. Karl Park has begun his first year in the role of Sports Information Director for E2.stern's athletic teams. Park graduated from Eastern where he served as sports editor of the school newspaper, The Eastern Progress, for three years.

Teddy Taylor's spot will be filled by Wally Chambers, who has shown tremendous improvement since coming here. Also, Mike Nicholson will help in the defensive line. Mike missed last year with an injury and still has three more years of eligibility. We have James Porter back in the secondary and several new kids showed us a l:ot in the spring. Bob Fricker will take over at quarterback. I have complete confidence in Bob's ability. He's a good leader - not quite the passer we've had in recent years - but very quick and sound on the option. Chuck Walrath will be back at flanker, and Larry Kirksey, James Wilson and William Wright will provide excellent targets for Fricker." Roy Kidd has never been accused of being an optimist when it comes to football. He expects the worst, prepares for it, and usually gets the best of it. He has, in the past, had spells of guarded optimism when predicting his team's chances, but never has he come right out and admitted the picture was bright. Not until now. Bu;t let it be said at this point that Roy Kidd is, indeed, optimistic. He still places a cautious finger on possible loop holes, but admits they're hard to find. Last season was one for rebuilding. The Colonels had won two straight OVC titles and gone 14 games without losing in the league. But last season Kidd had reason to be skeptical. So he had a team of young players who were long on talent but short on experience. It wasn't exactly a dismal season, either. The Colonels won six, lost four, and finished third in the conference race. This year most -e veryone is returning. Thus, the optimism. Q: Breaking it down a little more~ what can we expect on defense? Kidd: "You can expect an aggressive, hard-nosed unit that will surprise me if it gives up much ground this year. At tackle, we have Chambers (6-foot-5, 240 pounds) and Eddie Huffman ( 6-3, 240) and at the ends there are Nicholson (6-4, 228), Tom Reid (6-1, 226), and Mark Shireman (6-1, 200). Our linebacking corps is probably the best since I've been here. There are Ed King, James Croudep. Rich Cook, Mike Armstrong and Brian Seim.on. Groudep could be another Taylor before he leaves here. We lost Rich Thomas and that's really going to hurt. He was our leader on defense. The secondary isn't that much of a question mark because there are some good athletes back there. Besides Porter we have Mike O'N eal and Jackie Miller, a converted linebacker, and Tom Lyons and Bill Gardner had good springs." On defense the familiar No. 61, worn for four seasons by first team All-American Teddy Taylor, will be missing. Also gone is tackle Sid Yeldell. The secondary will be without the services of all-conference performer Ted Green, Bob Webb, Pete Campassi and Harold Joyce. Offensively, quarterback Bill March, receivers, Don Buehler and Larry Lightfoot, and guard Tom Swartz are the missing persons. In a capsule, the losses were in quality instead of quantity. So what can we expect this year? Ask the man who knows. Q: Coach Kidd, who will be your replacements at those vacated positions? 16 �Q: How . about the offense? Kidd: "Jim1ny Brooks is back, and that's saying a lot in itself. Jimmy should have another outstanding year. A big reason will be Butch Evans, one of our co-captains, who is a relentless blocker and an excellent runner. Fricker will direct the team well and he has some good support. Our receivers are pretty solid, although we do lack depth. In fact, depth in the offensive line is one of our problems. There are some outstanding individuals in Larry Kaelin, "Toodie" Irwin, Pat Sheridan, Fred Sandusky and Jon Ankney. I just hope we can find good backup men." Q: Offense - Pro-set Defense - 4-4-3 Strength - Defensive line and linebackers ; Running game and offensive line. Weaknesses - Lack of depth in offensive line; lack of experience in secondary. Lettermen Lost - In t he final analysis, what can we expect? Kidd: ''Thafs a loaded question, and I sure wouldn't want it to backfire on us, but I think we're going to have a real sound football team. There are only three seniors . on the entire squad and most of our players are sophomores, so we're going to be asking a lot from them. And the OVC is better than ever. But we have the nucleus of a good club. We have every reason to think they'll be ready. The attitude is excellent. I think we've got a winner." 10 Lettermen Returning Ends - James Wilson, Larry Kirksey, Brian Seimon, Mark Shireman, Mike Nicholson Tackles - Harry Irwin~ J on Ankney, Eddie Huffman, W ally Chambers, Tom Reid Nuff sed, Coach.

He has played in only 17 college football games. But Jimmy Brooks is also a bona-fide All-American candidate. It has been obvious since his freshman year, when he averaged 145 yards a game, that he was something special. He proved it again as a sophomore, when he was named honorable mention AU-American. Now he's ready for the Big Move. Jimmy Brooks is a six-foot, 185-pounder who isn't really particular about which way he gets his yardage. He'll go over you if he has to, but he's at his best when he couples deceptive moves with his blurring speed and quickness. But there are more concrete facts which support his candidacy. Consider, if you will, these . points: •- He gained 1,013 yards in seven games as a freshman, more than any first-year college division player in the country. - He gained 1,102 yards in nine games his sophomore year. He also picked up 225 yards in 10 kickoff returns and caught eight passes for 176 yards. - He has averaged almost five yards every time he carries the ball. - He holds the school record for most yards gained in one game (188). - He holds the school record for most yards gained in one season (1,1 02) . - He's a sure bet to set the all-time school rushing record early in his junior year. - At his current pace, he will become the fifth leading rusher in the history of college football. He has his sights set on the national record. Like all great performers you would have to see Jimmy Brooks in action to really appreciate him. You could get an even better picture if you talked with him. He vras asked last . pring if he had a secret formula for success. He responded this way: "Man's greatest asset is his state of mind. I set goals that seem beyond reach. Then I go after them with the firm conviction that I'll surpass them." So far, Jimmy Brooks has done just what he set out to do. Maybe a little more. But that's ,vhat All-Americans are made of. 1 18 �OFFENSE TAILBACKS QUARTERBACKS Bob Fricker . . . Sophomore .. . 20 . . . 6-0 . . . 180 . . . One Letter . . . Cincinnati .. .

The running game is bolstered by Charles VanPelt and Dave Means. Versatile Willie Lenzy, John Allen and Harry Palmer will b e battling for a starting berth at slotback.

The running aspect of this fall's team will be shouldered by juniors K enny Johnson and Tony Page (if he returns to football) and sophomores Clarence Sharpe and Danny Hunley. The role of quarterback will be held by one of several candidates including John Kok and Herman Wallace, both being sophomores t his fall. Defensively, the Govs front line will be built around tackle Bonnie Sloan, a gentle giant at 6-5 and 250 pounds. The amazing Sloan was credited with 39 individual tackles and 34 assists. Eastern leads the series, 8-3. For the second consecutive season, Middle Tennessee State will enter the upc01ning foot ball season with a new head coach, Bill Peck. With 30 of 44 lettermen returning, including 10 of the 11 starters on defense, MTSU makes no bones about expecting a better season than 1969's 1-9 mark. Defense is the strong suite of the Big Blue, and the h eart of the unit is linebacker David Duvall, an All-OVC selection last year as a junior, and a bona fide candidate for College Division All-American this fall. Duvall is 6-3, 220, and a three-year letterman.

But the Hilltoppers coaching staff must replace three members of the starting backfield. The offensive unit has one returning starter at each position. Defensively, Coach Jimmy Feix and his staff are all smiles. Only one player was lost from last year's platoon that was stingier than any team in the conference except champion East Tennessee. Heading the list is the 1969 OVC Defensive Player of the Year, rugged Lawrence Brame. Several freshmen will get the call to fill the gaps on offense, but the Hilltoppers should field another title contender this season. Western leads the series, 26-15-1. Prospectus Eastern Michigan University will be undertaking its most difficult football schedule ever this fall. However, Coach Dan Boisture will be bringing back 23 lettermen who appear to be ready fo r the task. The Hurons will lose 15 letter winning seniors from the 1969 squad, but the 23 returnees gained plenty of experience from the recent campaign. The defense will center around Dave Pureifory, the big junior tackle who was a stalwart in his sophomore year. Offensively, the backfield remains intact after last season with quarterback Don Stewart entering his junior year. 33 �Eighth Game Seventh Game MURRAY STATE UNIVERSITY 7 Oct. 31 - Bill Furgerson at Richmond (Homecoming) 19 26 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 Nov. 21 2 p.m. at P arsons College at Tennessee Tech at Morehead YOUNGSTOWN MIDDLE TENNESSEE EAST TENNESSEE at Eastern Kentucky at Austin Peay UNIVERSITY OF EVANSVILLE WESTERN KENTUCKY Don Wade at Cookeville - Location-Cookeville, Tennessee Enrollment-6,000 President- Dr. Everett Derryberry Nickname- Golden Eagles Colors-Purple and Gold Athletic Director- Hooper Eblen Head Coach-Don Wade Assistant Coaches-Tony Stone , Tony Yelovich, Jack Henderson, Chuck Newman, Bob Joye SID-Doug Stone and Grady Batten Stadium-Overall Field (12,000) Lettermen Lost-5 Lettermen Returning-43 1970 Schedule Sept.

It marks the first time since Wade took o ver at Tech in 1968 that he'll be able to start with a group of seasoned veterans. The Golden Eagles closed fast last season and finished with a 5-5 record and a third-place tie in the OVC. All-American fullback Larry Schreiber will be missing, but a host of candidates for his j ob makes the picture even brighter. Leadin,g the way will b e quarterback Steve Ailey, who directed the Eagles to a 4-1 record after mid·· season; Roger Hill, orobable r eplacement for Schreiber; linebacker John Tanner and offensive guard Bill Swaggerty. More balance is expected and the Golden Eagles should improve on last year's .500 season. Eastern leads th~ series 14-12. Prospectus With most of last year's team back, plus a good crop of freshmen and a handful of transfers, the Racer coaching staff, usually a pessimistic bunch, can't help but let a bit of optimism creep into their voices when they discuss prospects for next season. Twenty-four certified lettermen will be back next fall, 18 of whom were starters at least part of the year, and several other players will be around who saw som.e varsity action. Among those back will b e t ight end J a ck ·wolf, quarterba ck Matt Haug, split end Bill H ess, guard Ken Pelot, defensive tackle Dave Ford, and defensive tackle Jim ,Nilson.

Included in the exodus are the school record-holders in rushing, passing, scoring, pass receiving, kicking and interception returns. The loss of quarterback Verbie Walder will cause problems for coach Jerry Huntsman, but the Sycamores return a strong running game built around Jesse Ealy. Also expected to provide support in that depart1nent is newcomer Gary Brown, a 9. 7 sprinter with great moves. The receiving corps also should be solid. The question 1nar ks are in the offensive line, the linebackers and defensive ends. Experience will take its toll early, but the potential is there. 2 p.m. 1969 Resu Its 27 35 7 29 21 6 2 ~ 1 23 Marshall ...................................... 14 Middle Tennessee .................... 9 Murray ........................................ 13 Austin Peay .............................. 18 Youngstown State ................... 12 Tennessee Tech ........................ 21 Western Kentucky .................. 27 East Tennessee .......................... 27 ~~~~~kke~\~~ky·::::::::::::::::::::1~ Prospectus Although he has 32 lettermen returning from last year's squad (6-4 overall and 3-4 in the OVC ), Jake Hallum needs a sound, strong - armed quarter back a n d some line replacements if the Eagles are to be contenders in the stronger Ohio Valley Conference. Hallum's quarterback quest is vital if he is to take advantage of the best group of receivers in the school's history.

Wells served as an assistant under legendary EKU Head Coach Roy Kidd from 1997 to 2002 and was an assistant again with the Colonels in 2015. Wells was hired as the 15th head coach in program history on Dec. 9, 2019. In his first season, the Colonels faced one of the toughest schedules in program history. Among the nine games in the fall of 2020 were three contests against FBS teams and two games against a team ranked among the top-25 in the FCS. Wells led EKU to a road win at The Citadel, a near upset of FBS Troy, a victory over No. 11 Central Arkansas and a 49-17 win against Western Carolina in the 2020 Opportunity Bowl. The Colonels suffered two heartbreaking last-minute losses during the 2020 season. The win over 11th ranked Central Arkansas was the program’s first victory over a ranked team since 2013 and the first win over a non-conference ranked team since 2003 when Eastern Kentucky beat No. 11 Appalachian State. EKU was recognized as the national team of the week three times during the 2020 season. Quarterback Parker McKinney, wide receiver Keyion Dixon and running back Alonzo Booth each earned national player of the week honors as well. During the fall 2020 season, Eastern ranked second in the nation in interceptions and passing efficiency, and third in first downs, passing offense, passing yards per completion, fumbles recovered and turnovers gained. “I’m excited to be back and be the head football coach at Eastern Kentucky University,” said Wells. “This is a place that is very close to my EKUSports.com heart, and my wife Jennifer’s heart.

The 2018 Wildcat team beat Florida for the first time in 32 years, posted the program’s best Southeastern Conference (SEC) record in 41 years and beat No. 12-ranked Penn State in the VRBO Citrus Bowl. All totaled, the 10-3 record was Kentucky’s best season in 41 years and only the third 10-win season in school history. In 2019, the Wildcats won seven games and reach bowl eligibility again. Wells’ responsibilities included breaking down the opponents’ offense for the UK defense. The Kentucky defense ranked fourth in the nation in passing yards allowed, ninth in passing efficiency defense, 12th in scoring defense, 14th in fewest first downs allowed, 20th in total defense, 23rd in redzone defense and 31st in sacks in 2019.

The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only North Dakota State (eight), Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall, Montana and James Madison have won the title more than once. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2021 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 8, 2022 and mark the 12th consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest.

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Roy Kidd Stadium was enhanced significantly in 2017. New east side seating was completed with 3,000 new bleacher seats and a concourse that features modern concessions and restroom facilities. The first floor is dedicated to the benefit of Colonel football student-athletes and includes a new team locker room featuring a team lounge, equipment room and a game day training area. The entire structure was constructed with future expansion and renovations to Roy Kidd Stadium in mind. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating for approximately 20,000 football spectators. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 52-year history. Entering the 2021 season, Eastern has won 229, lost 62, and tied 1 (.786 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. In the summer of 2013, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms and media interview room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. fell for the Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running back McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when All-American nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Governors as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and All-American candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records 61 @EKUSports �Football Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a game-winning field goal. EKUSports.com 62 �Football Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. AllOVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 314-124-8 (.713) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 67 @EKUSports �Football All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC DT/LB Junior Hardin (1974, 75) OT Joe Spadafino (1984, 85) DE Chris Coy (2007, 08) EKUSports.com Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal Dale Patton Joe Richard Chris Roberts OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C FB NG DE 68 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1965, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978 David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coffey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler Mike Thomas Leon Brown Jason Combs Chris Guyton James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT OG RB OT S OG P LB 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 1992 1993 1993, 94, 95 1993, 97 1993, 94, 95 1993 1993 �Football All-Conference Players Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. Including the 2020 induction class, there are 51 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Yeremiah Bell, Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Patrick Bugg, Mike Cadore, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Jason Dunn, Kevin Greve, David Flores, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Elroy Harris, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Larry Kirksey, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Bob McIntyre, Alvin Miller, Jim Moberly, Frank Nassida, Dale Patton, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Chuck Siemon, Jessie Small, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years, in which the player did not play in any games, were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the EKUSports Communications office.

Wells served as an assistant under legendary EKU Head Coach Roy Kidd from 1997 to 2002 and was an assistant again with the Colonels in 2015.

The 2018 Wildcat team beat Florida for the first time in 32 years, posted the program’s best Southeastern Conference (SEC) record in 41 years and beat No. 12-ranked Penn State in the VRBO Citrus Bowl. All totaled, the 10-3 record was Kentucky’s best season in 41 years and only the third 10-win season in school history. In 2019, the Wildcats won seven games and reach bowl eligibility again. Wells’ responsibilities included breaking down the opponents’ offense for the UK defense. The Kentucky defense ranked fourth in the nation in passing yards allowed, ninth in passing efficiency defense, 12th in scoring defense, 14th in fewest first downs allowed, 20th in total defense, 23rd in red-zone defense and 31st in sacks in 2019. “I’m excited to be back and be the head football coach at Eastern Kentucky University,” said Wells. “This is a place that is very close to my heart, and my wife Jennifer’s heart. Our daughter was born here and I look forward to bringing my son here too. EKU has a proud tradition and I look forward to continuing that tradition.” From 2016 to 2017, Wells worked on the staff at the University of Tennessee.

He was ranked as a top-10 national recruiter. Wells returned to the EKU coaching staff in the spring of 2015 as the assistant head coach and offensive line coach. His work helped the Colonels average 30.3 points per game, the 35th-most in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Lineman Brett Eyckmans earned first team All-Ohio Valley Conference recognition after the 2015 season. During his first stint with the Colonels, Eastern won the 1997 OVC title with a perfect 7-0 mark and advanced to the NCAA FCS playoffs. Wells served as Kidd’s tight ends coach from 1997 to 1999, and as the offensive line coach from 2000 to 2002. He coached seven All-OVC players and an All-American. EKU ranked among top-15 nationally in rushing in 2001 and 2002. “Twenty-two years ago I came here and met coach Kidd and his staff,” Wells said. “I learned many valuable lessons that have carried me through my career.

The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only North Dakota State (eight), Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and twotime champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall, Montana and James Madison have won the title more than once. Four of the last 12 FCS championship games have produced a first-time champ: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010 and North Dakota State in 2011. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2020 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 9, 2021 and mark the 11th consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Roy Kidd Stadium was enhanced significantly in 2017. New east side seating was completed with 3,000 new bleacher seats and a concourse that features modern concessions and restroom facilities. The first floor is dedicated to the benefit of Colonel football student-athletes and includes a new team locker room featuring a team lounge, equipment room and a game day training area. The entire structure was constructed with future expansion and renovations to Roy Kidd Stadium in mind. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating for approximately 20,000 football spectators. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 51-year history. Entering the 2020 season, Eastern has won 227, lost 60, and tied 1 (.790 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. In the summer of 2013, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms and media interview room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. fell for the Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running back McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when All-American nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Governors as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and All-American candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records 69 @EKUSports �Football Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a game-winning field goal. EKUSports.com 70 �Football Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. AllOVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 314-124-8 (.713) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award.

The All-Century Football Team is made up of the following positions: running back (2), wide receiver (2), quarterback (1), tight end (1), punter (1), placekicker (1), linebacker (3), defensive back (4), defensive line (4) and offensive line (5). To earn consideration for the All-Century Team, players must have met at least one of the following criteria: first or second team All-OVC honors, enshrinement in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, or All-American honors. Colonel fans helped determine the All-Century Team by casting their votes on-line in late August and early September at www.EKUSports.com. The All-Century logo was designed by former EKU running back Markus Thomas.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. Including the 2019 induction class, there are 49 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Yeremiah Bell, Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Patrick Bugg, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Jason Dunn, Kevin Greve, David Flores, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Elroy Harris, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Larry Kirksey, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Bob McIntyre, Jim Moberly, Frank Nassida, Dale Patton, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Chuck Siemon, Jessie Small, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years, in which the player did not play in any games, were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the EKUSports Communications office.

EKUSports.com 16 �Football NCAA FCS History The 2017 campaign marks the 40th season for the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs. The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), North Dakota State (five), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Five of the last nine FCS championship games have produced a first-time champ: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010, North Dakota State in 2011 and James Madison in 2017. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2016 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 6, 2018 and mark the eighth consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years.

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Roy Kidd Stadium will be enhanced significantly in the coming years. New east side seating will be completed by the 2017 season, as well as a new football locker room, players’ lounge, equipment room and other improvements. It is anticipated additional enhancements to the south endzone and west side, which will be fan-focused, will be completed in the coming years. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating for approximately 20,000 football spectators. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 45-year history. Entering the 2017 season, Eastern has won 217, lost 54, and tied 1 (.800 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. In the summer of 2013, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms, media interview room and a training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. fell for the Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when All-American nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and All-American candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records 19 @EKUSports �Football Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a game-winning field goal. EKUSports.com 20 �Football Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. AllOVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 25 @EKUSports �Football All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC DT/LB Junior Hardin (1974, 75) OT Joe Spadafino (1984, 85) Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal Dale Patton Joe Richard OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C FB NG DE Chris Coy (2007, 08) EKUSports.com 26 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1965, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978, 79 Chris Roberts David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coffey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler Mike Thomas Leon Brown Jason Combs Chris Guyton DE K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT OG RB OT S 1978 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 1992 1993 1993, 94, 95 1993, 97 �Football All-Conference Players James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. Including the 2016 induction class, there are 44 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Jason Dunn, Kevin Greve, David Flores, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Larry Kirksey, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Jim Moberly, Frank Nassida, Dale Patton, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Chuck Siemon, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the EKUSports Communications office.

Located in Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky, Eastern has a distinguished record of more than a century of educational service to the Commonwealth. History – The Kentucky General Assembly of 1906 enacted legislation establishing the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School. Governor J.C. Beckham signed the bill into law on March 21, 1906. On May 7 of that year, the Normal School Commission, meeting in Louisville, selected the campus of the old Central University, founded in 1874 in Richmond, as the site of the new school. On June 2, 1906, Ruric Nevel Roark was chosen President of the Normal School and the training of teachers was begun. In 1922, Eastern became a four-year institution known as the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College. The first degrees were awarded by this institution in 1925. In 1928, the College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1930, the General Assembly renamed the school the Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College. In 1935, a graduate program was approved at Eastern, leading to the Master of Arts degree in Education. In 1948, the General Assembly removed the word “Teachers” from the name of the college and granted the college the right to award nonprofessional degrees. The most significant day since its founding came for Eastern on February 26, 1966, when Governor Edward T. Breathitt signed into law a bill renaming the institution Eastern Kentucky University and sanctioning the awarding of graduate degrees in academic fields other than education. During this period of time, Eastern Kentucky University has increased rapidly in size and stature. Beginning with a few students engaged in short review and certificate courses, the University today serves thousands of Kentuckians. The curriculum leads to associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees, and an expanding graduate program that currently offers degrees at the master’s level in many other fields as well as the already well-established Master of Arts degree in Education and the various fifth- and sixth-year leadership programs in education, psychology, and technology. In addition to these programs, Eastern offers joint doctoral programs with cooperating institutions. Purpose – Within its statutory responsibilities, Eastern Kentucky University seeks to provide intellectual and cultural opportunities that will develop habits of scholarship and intellectual curiosity, provide a deep understanding of American democracy and the citizen’s role in maintaining its strength and vitality, impart an understanding of humans and their aspirations, enable effective and efficient communication, and prepare productive and responsible citizens. The University will remain responsive and flexible in order to serve in unique and needed ways. Within these general responsibilities and purposes, the University is dedicated to three specific functions – high-quality instruction, scholarship, and service, and places emphasis on the three in that order. Through its colleges and schools, the University seeks to offer quality instruction at a variety of degree levels in general education, the arts, the sciences, business, education, pre-professional and professional areas, and applied and technical disciplines. Through consultative services, continuing education, and the extended campus, the University seeks to provide service to the community and the region. Research seeks both to advance knowledge in the subject matter areas with which the University is concerned and to support the primary function of teaching. @EKUSports 4 �COLONELS City of Richmond Richmond is home to many interesting and convenient activities. Whether it’s arts and entertainment, recreation, or shopping and dining out you are looking for, Richmond has it all. With more than 100 buildings in Richmond on the National Register of Historic Places and three areas on the National Register of Historic Districts, it is one of Kentucky’s finest restored 19th Century commercial districts. Arts and entertainment take center-stage with the EKU Center for the Arts. Its grand opening in 2011-12 featured such acts as Wynonna Judd, Peter Frampton, Jerry Seinfeld, Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. With 2,100 seats, the theater is the largest performing arts venue in Central Kentucky — larger than Lexington’s Singletary Center for the Arts at the University of Kentucky and Danville’s Norton Center for the Arts at Centre College. There is never any lack of recreational activities in Richmond. An array of parks and recreational centers across the city offers something for everyone. Lake Reba Recreational Complex includes golf, little league baseball and softball fields, soccer, fishing and a water park which opened in the summer of 2008. If it’s shopping you want, downtown Richmond can accommodate you. Locally owned businesses line the historic streets of downtown Richmond with everything from fine antiquities to exquisite jewelry. There is a wide variety of stores at the brand new Richmond Centre as well. The outdoor mall offers shoppers convenience and style. Dining isn’t hard to find either. Family-owned and major chain restaurants give Richmond a unique variety of menus. Local hot spots include Madison Gardens, which is uniquely Richmond, to restaurants such as Olive Garden, Logan’s Roadhouse, O’Charley’s and Outback Steakhouse. Whatever your pallet craves, Richmond dining offers a variety of tastes made to satisfy. Never far from mainstream, Richmond offers the comforts of simplicity with the convenience of the city. Only 29 miles from Lexington and the Bluegrass Airport, Richmond is easily accessible to all travelers. Interstate 75 is a major artery of both state and national motor transportation. Richmond’s location on I-75 makes it an important factor in making the city a commercial hub. In fact, the ease of travel to and from Richmond makes the city an ideal spot for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Fort Boonesborough State Park is located only 12 miles from EKU’s campus, while Natural Bridge State Park (63 miles) and Cumberland Falls State Park (100 miles) are located nearby. Also within easy driving distance of Richmond are the Kentucky Horse Park, the state capital in Frankfort, Herrington Lake, My Old Kentucky Home at Bardstown, White Hall State Shrine and thoroughbred horse racing at Keeneland. A Brief Richmond History Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in his barn. On July 4, 1798, the site was officially named Richmond in honor of Miller’s birthplace, Richmond, Va. 5 EKUSports.com �eku Alpha Roster No. 27 99 31 11 30 37 40 88 4 52 6 93 73 53 96 78 84 91 94 74 77 10 69 83 66 23 75 33 92 85 7 62 64 14 18 26 87 22 58 67 28 45 95 59 8 20 47 70 80 41 82 89 48 Name Pos.

The Colonels have qualified for the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs 20 times, second most by any program at this level. However, the Colonels were left out of the 2012 FCS playoffs even with an 8-3 record and now have to regroup for 2013. Lots of new faces Ohio Valley Conference Titles will fill the depth chart No. Last heading into preseason 1. Eastern Kentucky 21 2011 camp as 11 starters 2. Tennessee Tech 10 2011 from the 2012 squad 8 2002 were seniors including 3. Murray State 6 2012 three key positions on 4. Eastern Illinois 5. Jacksonville State 3 2011 offense – quarterback, 2 1999 running back and wide 6. Tennessee State 7. Austin Peay 1 1977 receiver. Southeast Missouri 1 2010 “We lost a lot of UT Martin 1 2006 production,” EKU *current members only head coach Dean Hood said. “If you put it down on paper and looked at it, you could make yourself nauseous. I think one thing that has helped us is we lost a lot of production, but we didn’t lose a lot of human beings. I think our redshirting [philosophy] is finally starting to show some fruit.” Since Hood took over as head coach in 2008, the Colonels have won two OVC titles and 29 league games. Both of those numbers are tops among the nine OVC football teams. Even with so many new starters set to line up for the Colonels this year, the goal as always will be to win the league championship and qualify for the FCS playoffs. Fellow redshirt freshman Jared Sanders is a change of pace runner who brings loads of speed to the position. Sanders posted a team-high 102 yards rushing and averaged 6.0 yards per carry in the spring game. A fourth option could be newcomer Thomas Owens. In the second quarter of the spring game, the redshirt freshman exploded for a 62-yard rushing touchdown. “We had a bunch of guys run well in the spring and I certainly expect one or two players to step up in the fall,” Hood said. Junior Jeremy James and senior Roman Lawson give the Colonels two quality fullbacks. James has been the primary fullback the last two years. Lawson, a transfer from Miami (Ohio), will also push for playing time. At tight end, senior Matt Lengel is expected to return following an early season-ending injury in 2012. Fellow senior Nathan Watts stepped up his role last year with 13 pass receptions. Watts gives EKU some flexibility to line up in the h-back position. Eastern Kentucky lost its top two wide receivers from 2012, but there is plenty of untapped talent ready to challenge opposing defenses. Senior Ike Ariguzo, who totaled 18 receptions as a junior, is projected to be one of the starters. Sophomore Jeff Glover, the other projected starter, put on quite a show in the spring game with eight catches for 214 yards. Fellow redshirt freshman Devin Borders is another tall receiver who should see plenty of playing time in 2013. Ariguzo, Glover and Borders all stand at least 6-4 in height. Throw Lengel into the mix, who is 6-7, and the Colonels have a very tall receiving group. Three starters return on the offensive line headed by senior allconference left guard Justin Meredith. Fellow senior Travon Carter is expected to push for all-conference honors at right guard. The center position will be a battle between returning starter Austin Jaggers and junior Dustin Crane. Jaggers, a senior and converted defensive lineman, started every game at center last year. A pair of younger players will be asked to step up at tackle. Sophomore Brett Eyckmans had to fill in at right tackle for six games as a true freshman due to injuries. This year, he is slated to move to left tackle. Josh Minor, a sophomore who saw action in most games last year, will line up at right tackle. “Even though we lost a pair of All-American caliber players at tackle, I don’t feel as bad as that sounds because of Minor and Eyckmans,” Hood said. The Offense There may be plenty of changes in personnel on offense, but the philosophy will remain the same this fall – run the football. “Power will still be our number one running play,” Hood said. “That being said, there are a lot of different ways to run the ball. We have a lot of speed out on the perimeter. A play like the fly sweep will make defending our inside running even more difficult.” Gone are the all-time leading passer in EKU history (T.J. Pryor), a potential NFL wide receiver (Tyrone Goard) and a Walter Payton Award candidate at running back (Matt Denham). If the spring game is any indication, there are lots of potential game changers ready to fill those critical voids. Expected to lead the offense at quarterback will be Jared McClain. The junior has seen plenty of action in his two previous years on the squad including starts at Purdue in 2012 and Kansas State in 2011. McClain saw action in every game as a sophomore and led Eastern on three scoring drives in the win at Southeast Missouri. He can run and pass as he finished with three passing touchdowns and two rushing scores last fall. Redshirt freshman Kyle Romano is slated to be the second string quarterback. Romano completed 12-of-20 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in the spring game. A Rivals.com two-star recruit out of Texas, Romano was a unanimous first team all-district quarterback as a senior prepster. Three or four candidates could be used to replace Denham at running back. Junior Caleb Watkins, who has been used in a variety of roles in his time at EKU, heads into preseason camp as the number one back. He was mainly used as a fullback last year, but understands the offensive system quite well. Redshirt freshman JJ Jude will likely see time in the backfield as well. Jude completed his high school career as the all-time leading rusher in Kentucky with 8,633 yards at Johnson Central High. @EKUSports The Defense The front seven in EKU’s 4-3 defense has the look to be one of the best in Hood’s six years as head coach. Five of the seven are returning starters and three earned All-OVC honors a year ago. “I think we are in really good shape right there,” Hood said. “We may even have some redshirt freshmen come in and push for playing time.” Two all-conference selections headline the linebacker unit. Senior Anthony Brown, a two-time All-OVC first team pick, may push for OVC Defensive Player of the Year honors this fall. Brown finished second in the league with 12.5 tackles for loss at outside linebacker last year. Vance, a third-year starter at middle linebacker and two-time all-conference selection, is a steady player who has notched 159 career tackles. Sophomore Marquise Piton (outside) and senior Tyler Horn (middle) give the Colonels some quality depth behind Brown and Vance. Juniors Tyrelle Johnson and Khiry Maddox are expected to compete for the weakside linebacker position. Both players have been key reserves and utilized on special teams for the past two seasons. On the defensive line, seniors Shawn Shupperd and David Carter give the Colonels an excellent inside-outside combination. 8 �COLONELS Season Outlook and posted three pass break-ups. Northington began his redshirt season at wide receiver before moving over to the defensive side of the ball late in the fall. Senior Theron Norman and sophomore Deno Montgomery offer some experience and depth to the cornerback spot. Norman, who joined the team as a safety from Virginia Tech last year, switched to corner back this past spring. The Special Teams Eastern Kentucky’s top two special team contributors are both seniors in 2013. Senior Jordan Berry will be in his fourth year serving as the team’s punter and holder on field goals. The two-time All-OVC honoree set an EKU single-season punting record as a freshman in 2010 (42.9 ypp). He can do a variety of kicks ranging from traditional to rugby and has even practiced punting left-footed. Fellow senior Luke Pray is expected to handle the majority of the other kicking duties. Pray has converted 17-of-34 field goal attempts in two years for the Colonels, but concluded last year making five of his final seven tries. Sophomore Zack Burgy-VanHoose played occasionally last year and will push Pray for playing time. Burgy-VanHoose made a team season-long 45-yard field goal in the win at Southeast Missouri a year ago. Pray connected on a 53-yard field goal in the spring game while Burgy-VanHoose stepped up with a 43-yarder. “This is the best I’ve ever felt about [our field goal kickers] because I’m seeing the production on the field out of our guys,” Hood said. Junior safety Brandon Stanley is one of five All-OVC returnees on the 2013 roster. Shupperd, who plays on the end, earned second team all-league accolades as a junior after leading the team with 16 quarterback hurries. Carter is a third-year starter in the trenches and has the ability to compete for All-OVC honors in his final year on the squad. “This was the first season that Shawn was able to play in the spring due to injuries and surgical stuff,” Hood said. “He really improved and I think he will be a real force this year.” Sophomore Bryce Krebs will team with Carter at the other tackle position. Seniors Anthony Shoemaker and Ryan Bonner are the most likely candidates to nail down the final spot on the defensive line. Shoemaker served as a back-up to All-OVC defensive end Robert Knowles last year. Bonner has filled in at tackle and end throughout his career at EKU. A pair of redshirt freshmen – Avery Pitt (tackle) and Justin Adekoya (end) – will push for playing time on the line. The biggest area of concern for the football team this year involves the defensive backfield. Three of the four major contributors in 2012 were seniors. “I’ve joked with [defensive coordinator] Tony Hatmaker several times throughout the spring that that’s the deepest, most talented question mark position I’ve ever seen in my life,” Hood said. “We are a little more confident of what we’re going to get at safety than the corner position, but I like a bunch of guys back there.” Junior all-conference performer Brandon Stanley is the leader of the group. The safety notched a team-high 81 tackles as a sophomore and always seems to be around the football. Senior Christian Albertson will attempt to put his name on the other starting safety position. Albertson has been a key reserve in his two other seasons playing at Eastern. Junior transfer Chris Owens, who missed the spring game with a minor injury, has impressed the coaching staff and will be in the hunt for playing time at safety as well. Sophomore Paul Ritter is a fourth member who plans to keep his name in the safety mix. Sophomore Stanley Absanon and redshirt freshman Kiante Northington are penciled in as the top two cornerbacks heading into preseason camp. Absanon saw action in all 11 games last year The Schedule The Colonels are lined up to play 12 teams in 2013, marking the first time in 10 years that EKU will play this many games in the regular season. Eastern Kentucky has six home games on the schedule including Homecoming, which is slated for Oct. 19 against Tennessee Tech. Eastern opens the season with a rare Thursday night home game against Robert Morris on Aug. 29. The last time EKU began the year with a home Thursday night game was Sept. 2, 1993 versus Western Kentucky. The following week, the Colonels face a potential top-10 FBS team in Louisville. The Cardinals have won the last two meetings including a 23-13 decision in 2010. “We appreciate the opportunity to play Louisville,” Hood said. “It’s not too many times you can say you are going to play a top10 [FBS] team. We are going to show up and play the game.” After two more non-conference games against Coastal Carolina (Sept. 14) and Morehead State (Sept. 21), Eastern Kentucky begins Ohio Valley Conference action on Sept. 28 with a showdown at 2012 league champion Eastern Illinois. The Panthers used a 24-7 victory over the Colonels last year to catapult themselves into the FCS playoffs. The Colonels will celebrate EKU Athletics Hall of Fame Weekend on Oct. 5 against Austin Peay. The other two home games are scheduled for Nov. 2 against Tennessee State and Nov. 16 versus UT Martin. TSU is 3-1 against Eastern under Hood, including a last-second 23-20 win in Nashville last fall. UT Martin has never won in Richmond, dropping all 11 tilts. The NCAA FCS playoffs expand from 20 to 24 teams in 2013 and will feature 16 teams playing in the opening round on Nov. 30. 9 EKUSports.com �eku Preseason Two-Deep (as of Aug. 1, 2013) Colonel Offense Pos.

Personal – Son of James and Tammy Jude … born on Dec. 31, 1992. History of the Colonel Eastern Kentucky University athletic teams were known as the Maroons until 1966 and even survived one attempt to alter the school mascot to the Leopards. In 1963, Eastern Kentucky University President Robert Martin was at a loss as to how he could create a physical “Maroon” to excite the audience. A man of vision and intelligence, Martin began searching for a mascot that would embody the glorious Bluegrass State. He found it in the honorable Kentucky Colonel. The military title of “Colonel” had begun being used as an honorary title in the state by the late 1800s and by 1931 the nowfamous Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels had been formed. The finger-lickin’ Colonel Harlan D. Sanders himself was inducted in 1935. Like Minutemen of Massachusetts and Sooners of Oklahoma, the Kentucky breed of Colonel was a unique symbol of the state and so Martin selected it to accompany the school color as Eastern’s mascot. Further cementing the connection with Eastern was the fact that Centre College’s mascot was already the Colonel and a faction of that school had occupied the Richmond campus before Eastern’s founding.

The Demon Deacons allowed just 15.4 ppg to rank second in the ACC and 21st nationally. Against the run, Wake yielded just 105.8 yards per game to rank 21st nationally, the third lowest total in Wake Forest history. Against the pass, the Demon Deacons recorded 22 interceptions, second most in the nation. Hood’s defenders earned All-ACC mention 14 times. That list includes four NFL draft picks – Calvin Pace, Montique Sharpe, Eric King and Josh Gattis. Hood entered the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College, where he worked with the defensive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 interceptions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University. From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State College, the last three of which he served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In 1993, Glenville finished 10-3 and advanced to the NAIA Division I championship game. Also that year, Hood’s defense led the nation in scoring defense (9.2 ppg), passing defense (118.0 ypg), and total defense (223.0 ypg). Hood moved to Ohio University for two years (1999-2000) where he met current Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe. At Ohio, Hood was in charge of the defensive backs. That unit recorded 17 interceptions in 1999, the most in more than a decade. The following year, Ohio ranked 20th nationally in scoring defense (18.9 points per game) as the Bobcat defense was one of only five units in Division I-A that did not allow more than 30 points in a game throughout the entire season. This is Hood’s first head coaching position and he is just the third EKU head football coach in the last 49 years. “Knowing first-hand what Coach Kidd built here, this is one of the best jobs in the country,” Hood said. “I remember when I was here the first time thinking how many guys in the history of athletics are still coaching in a facility named after them. That is rare. It is exciting to be at the helm of this program.” Head Coach • 6th Year at EKU (34-23) Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986 u 2011 AFCA Regional Coach of the Year u 2008 OVC Coach of the Year u 2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and head coach Dean Hood has delivered Ohio Valley Conference championships twice in his five years as head coach (2011, 2008). “It doesn’t matter if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU. They can’t play to the best of their athletic ability until they know exactly where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to do on the field.” The Eastern football program has produced eight AllAmericans, one OVC Defensive Player of the Year and 24 first team all-conference performers in Hood’s five years on the EKU sidelines. This past fall, the Colonels led the league with 13 total selections across the first-team, second-team and All-Newcomer OVC squads. Hood, 49, spent seven seasons working at Wake Forest University before taking over the EKU program in January 2008. Under Hood’s direction, the Wake Forest defense was known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, more than two per game. In 2007, Wake Forest led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 35 turnovers forced on its way to going 9-4 and capturing the Meineke Car Care Bowl. “Dean Hood is a wonderful blend of several characteristics we were looking for in a head coach,” EKU Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “He’s a great teacher, excellent recruiter, a person of high character, and someone who has been part of the EKU football heritage.” From 1994-98, Hood spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky under College Football Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd. He served all five years as the secondary coach and the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood’s first stint at EKU, the Colonels captured two Ohio Valley Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs three times. “This was a big deal for me,” Eastern Kentucky University President Dr. Doug Whitlock said. “I have been an Eastern football fan for almost 50 years; so I wanted us to find someone who would fit in with the community, had the kind of values that our football program has traditionally been built upon, and hopefully had been a part of the EKU football tradition. And, yes, we wanted someone who has been and will be a winner. Dean Hood fills all those particulars.” At Wake Forest, Hood and the rest of the Demon Deacons broke every program record imaginable in 2006 and set many other milestones. WFU won the ACC title for the first time since 1970 by shattering the program record with 11 victories. The Demon Deacons earned a berth in a BCS bowl game, taking on Louisville in the FedEx Orange Bowl. #GoBigE Hood’s Coaching Experience Year School 1987-88 Fairmont (W.Va.)

He went on to earn a master’s in physical education from West Virginia University in 1989. “We are very excited to be back,” Hood said. “My wife is from here and we are happy to have our kids near her family. I am looking forward to the challenge of being Eastern’s head coach. As you progress in this profession, you always think about doing things your own way. This is a chance to implement those thoughts.” Hood is married to the former Crystal Ramsey of Richmond, Ky. The couple has four children – two sons, Trey and Daven, and two daughters, Jada and Cordia. What Others Are Saying About Dean Hood “It doesn’t get any better than Dean Hood.

He will once fifth season overall on the EKU football staff. He spent his first two years on staff as the special teams coordinator. The Eastern Kentucky offense changed gears under Damron two years ago from a spread scheme to a power rushing attack. The change brought significant results as running back Matt Denham finished among the top-10 nationally in rushing in both 2011 and 2012. Even with a run-oriented offense, the Colonels were able to score at least 30 points in six games last year, including twice reaching the 50-point mark. However, the EKU offense will have to reload this fall as Denham, quarterback T.J. Pryor and wide receivers Tyrone Goard and Cameron Bailey have all finished their collegiate careers. “Coach Damron brings positive energy to the field every day,” EKU head coach Dean Hood said. “Offense is his cup of tea. He has been the offensive coordinator or the head coach calling the offensive plays for numerous other teams throughout his career. I’m thrilled that Dane is running the offense.” Damron, a native of Grayson, Ky., began his collegiate coaching career at Eastern Kentucky in 1995. He served two years as a graduate assistant and wide receivers coach under Roy Kidd. Damron earned his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1996. Following a coaching stint at Morehead State, Damron moved to the high school ranks where he coached for nine years. From 200205, he was the head coach of Boyd County where he helped the Lions advance to the second round of the KHSAA playoffs three straight years. Before returning to EKU in 2009, Damron served three years as Kentucky Christian University’s head football coach, which culminated with the school’s first-ever varsity football season in 2008. Damron played collegiate football at Georgetown College from 1990-94. The quarterback was a two-time NAIA All-American and led the Tigers to the 1991 NAIA national championship. Damron and his wife Delisha have two children – Hanna (13) and Derek (nine). again serve as the linebackers coach in 2013.

Returning to the unit are a pair of two-time All-OVC picks in seniors Anthony Brown and Ichiro Vance. Brown and Vance both have more than 150 career tackles to their credit. Brown should be one of the leading candidates for OVC Defensive Player of the Year this fall. Fisher, a native of Columbus, Ohio, spent the 2008 season as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State. “We’re certainly very excited to have Garry on staff,” Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood said. “He came highly recommended and with his extensive defensive background, especially at the linebacker position, this seemed like the perfect fit for us.” Fisher was a four-year letterwinner at Bowling Green (199801) as an outside linebacker before transitioning into the Falcons’ coaching ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an offensive assistant for the 2004 Mountain West Conference and 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions.

EKU returns seven of 11 defensive starters this fall from a unit that ranked first in the OVC in scoring defense and turnovers forced for two consecutive years. Last year, Eastern’s defense allowed 21.7 points per game and forced 28 turnovers. Hatmaker, who has also retained his duties as defensive backs coach, has helped produce 11 All-OVC defensive backs in his time at EKU including returning safety Brandon Stanley who led the team with 81 tackles one year ago.

Tight Ends Coach • 8th Year at EKU Ben Hodges Alma Mater: Central College (Iowa), 2006 Ben Hodges, who is in his eighth year on the Colonel coaching staff, was promoted to tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2011. “I think Ben has a very bright future in the business,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He studies the game and wants to be a good football coach.” Eastern Kentucky’s tight ends have played a more prominent role in the offense since a switch to a power rushing attack in 2011. Two key seniors headline the tight end group – Matt Lengel and Nathan Watts. Lengel, who is recovering from a knee injury, has the potential to earn All-OVC accolades in 2013. As the wide receivers coach from 2008-10, Hodges helped two Colonels earn all-conference accolades including Orlandus Harris in 2010 who posted the most receiving yards (940) by an EKU player in five years.

He also serves as the team’s NFL liaison. Three starters return to the EKU offensive line in 2013, including All-OVC senior guard Justin Meredith. Since the Colonels switched to a power rushing attack in 2011, the offense has averaged almost 215 yards per game on the ground. “Carson came very highly recommended by a variety of people who have seen him coach several positions,” Eastern head football coach Dean Hood said. “He has been on both sides of the ball as well as special teams. Carson is a great addition to our staff.” In his first season at Eastern, Jeffers served as the special teams coordinator and the tight ends coach. Jeffers has also acted as the director of operations in his time at EKU. Jeffers has worked at five colleges throughout the South before arriving at EKU. For three years, Jeffers served on the coaching staff at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss. The 2006 Wolfpack captured the Mississippi Junior College South Division title and went on to defeat Georgia Military College in the Golden Isle Bowl. In 2007, Jeffers was promoted from offensive line coach to co-offensive coordinator. Jeffers was also the offensive coordinator at the University of Charleston (W.Va.)

The couple has two children – Kaden (five) and Chloe (one). Former Colonel Jake Johnson is in his Follow @Jake6473 10th season on the Eastern Kentucky coach- ing staff and ninth as the team’s defensive line coach. “Jake is one of the veterans on our staff and truly epitomizes ‘EKU Pride’,” head coach Dean Hood said. “Players enjoy being around him and work hard for him.” Johnson has helped 14 defensive linemen earn All-OVC honors since 2005 including two players last fall – Shawn Shupperd and Robert Knowles. Shupperd and fellow senior David Carter are expected to anchor the defensive line in 2013. Sophomore Bryce Krebs gives the Colonels a third returning starter on the line. EKU ranked ninth nationally in rushing defense in 2012, allowing only 108 yards per game on the ground. After graduating from Eastern in 2002 with a bachelor of arts degree in geography with an emphasis in global studies, Johnson spent a year at Wingate University as an assistant coach. His duties there included serving as the Bulldogs’ full-time tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach, while also aiding in player recruitment and game-day planning. Johnson then returned to Eastern Kentucky in 2004 as a graduate assistant coach. A three-year starting offensive lineman during his collegiate career, Johnson garnered All-Ohio Valley Conference accolades at center in 2001. That same year, Johnson served as the Colonels’ offensive team captain and was named the squad’s offensive lineman of the year. Johnson earned four letters from 1997-2001 and was a freshman on the 1997 Colonel team which captured an OVC championship. He found success on and off the field at EKU, earning two spots on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and five Colonel Scholar awards. Johnson married the former Kate Lyon, a four-year volleyball letterwinner at Eastern who was named team co-MVP in 2000, in the summer of 2007.

Lots of new faces will fill the wide receiver spots this year as both of last year’s starters – Tyrone Goard and Cameron Bailey – have graduated. Goard earned All-OVC accolades in 2012 and went on to sign a free agent deal with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals. One player who may be on the cusp of a breakout season is sophomore Jeff Glover, who posted 214 receiving yards in the spring game. “Klay is an extremely hard worker, knowledgeable in his specific area and truly cares about the players,” head coach Dean Hood said. Before returning to Eastern Kentucky, Koester served as the wide receivers coach at McMurry University in 2009 under head coach Hal Mumme. Under Koester’s guidance, four wide receivers posted at least 30 catches while two players earned all-conference honors. Koester also worked with the special teams unit as kick-off return coordinator. Koester, an EKU graduate, began his coaching career as a student assistant at Eastern from 2005-07. He then moved into a graduate assistant role with the wide receivers and quarterbacks in 2007 and 2008 where he helped the Colonels win back-to-back OVC championships. A native of Canton, Ga., Koester was an all-county and AllMetro City All-Star during his high school playing days. Injuries limited Koester’s playing time with the Eastern Kentucky football squad. Koester holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University. Koester is married to the former Angie Kuntz of Danville, Ill. If anybody ever fit the description “life-long Colonel,” it’s John Revere. He played for the Colonels from 1972-75 before returning to his alma mater as a member of the coaching staff 17 years ago. “John Revere, by far, has recruited more people in our twodeep to this program than any other coach,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He is a knowledgeable person that can and has coached several different positions on the field.” This will be the ninth consecutive year that Revere will be in charge of the running backs, a position which is in flux due to the loss of two-time All-OVC performer Matt Denham. A handful of young players hope to pick up the slack in Denham’s absence. Junior Caleb Watkins and redshirt freshman J.J. Jude were the leading candidates to carry the ball after the conclusion of the spring practice season. Two-other redshirt freshmen – Thomas Owens and Jared Sanders – give the Colonels plenty of quality depth at a key position. Owens tallied a 62-yard scoring run in the spring game while Sanders posted a team-high 102 yards in the scrimmage. Two-year starter Jeremy James as well as Roman Lawson will serve as the fullbacks. Besides his coaching duties, Revere serves as the football team’s liaison for housing and its community service director. Revere was honored by the American Football Coaches Associaton (AFCA) in 2012 as the FCS Assistant Coach of the Year. The Assistant Coach of the Year award was first presented in 1997 and was created to honor assistant coaches who excel in community service, commitment to the student-athlete, on-field coaching success and AFCA professional organization involvement. Prior to returning to Eastern, Revere was an assistant coach at LaGrange (Ga.) High School from 1982 to 1996. There he coached six players that went on to NFL careers including Walt Harris (San Francisco 49ers), Tyrone Poole (Oakland Raiders), Quientin McCord (Atlanta Falcons), John Johnson (San Francisco 49ers), Tony Stargell (New York Jets) and Marty Carter (Detroit Lions). Revere has also had a hand in developing several professional players while coaching at Eastern Kentucky. Alex Bannister, a wide receiver with the Super Bowl XL participant Seattle Seahawks, learned under Revere. Dialleo Burks, who also played for Revere at LaGrange High School, went on to play for the Dallas Desperados in the Arena League, while Corey Crume went on to play for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League. On the recruiting front, Revere’s tireless work along with his countless high school contacts have helped land numerous successful student-athletes at Eastern. Among Revere’s standout recruits are Antwaun Molden, a third round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2008 draft, Sean Dumford, a 2008 free agent signee with the Baltimore Ravens, and Jeremy Caldwell, a 2012 free agent signee with the St. Louis Rams.

The Boilermakers racked up 547 yards of offense against the Colonels, but EKU did manage to force five turnovers. Purdue pounced quickly with back-to-back touchdowns in a span of 52 seconds midway through the first quarter. The Boilermakers took their second drive 87 yards in six plays for a 6-0 lead. An Akeem Shavers 34-yard run around the right end keyed the drive. Two plays into Eastern’s ensuing drive, Purdue safety Landon Feichter intercepted Jared McClain’s tipped pass and returned the ball 34 yards for another score. Early in the second quarter, Purdue extended its cushion to 20-0 behind a seven-yard touchdown run from Kurt Freytag. Eastern Kentucky finally responded with three straight big plays to get on the board. Senior Tyrone Goard’s 16-yard catch on third down kept the drive alive. McClain then hit senior wide receiver Cameron Bailey for 24 yards to the Purdue 30-yard line. Senior running back Matt Denham finished the drive with a 30-yard touchdown run straight up the middle of the field. The Colonels had a chance to creep even closer following senior Brooklyn Fox’s second interception. However, Eastern had to settle for a 38-yard field goal attempt, which was blocked. From that point, the Boilermaker offense turned up the heat again, scoring touchdowns on their final two possessions of the half to take a 34-6 lead into intermission. Purdue totaled 325 yards of offense in the first half and scored in all four trips into the red zone. Eastern Kentucky started three possessions inside Purdue territory in the second half, but could not come away with any more points. The Colonels punted on one possession and had turnovers on the other two drives. This was the first ever meeting between the two teams and just EKU’s second ever game against a Big Ten opponent. Purdue head coach Danny Hope, a former Eastern Kentucky player and head coach, guided the Colonels to the 2007 OVC title before taking the job at Purdue. #18 Eastern at Purdue Kentucky 0 13 6 21 0 7 0 7 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky out-gained Morehead State by 273 yards on the ground on its way to a methodical 24-17 victory at Roy Kidd Stadium Saturday evening. Senior running back Matt Denham, a Walter Payton Award candidate, carried the ball 34 times for 166 yards and eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark for his career. The Colonels totaled 282 yards rushing and limited the Eagles to nine yards on the ground. On Eastern’s final possession of the first half, Denham hit his career milestone. On 2nd-and-5, the senior broke the 2,000-yard rushing plateau with a five-yard gainer. The Rineyville, Ky., native had 116 yards on 24 first half carries. On MSU’s first possession of the second half, quarterback Zach Lewis engineered a 10-play drive that covered 76 yards in only 2:16. He capped it with a 23-yard touchdown toss and the extra-point tied the score 10-10. The Colonels came right back and took the lead for good. The drive appeared to stall when quarterback T.J. Pryor was sacked for an eight-yard loss, but on 3rd-and-17 he connected with junior wide out Ike Ariguzo for 41 yards to the Morehead State 21-yard line. Ariguzo out-leaped a defender to haul in the pass. Denham finished it off with four straight carries, the last finding pay dirt from two yards out. Safety Brandon Stanley stopped the Eagles’ next possession with his first career sack. As Lewis rolled out of the pocket to his left on 3rdand-10, the safety closed from behind and took the quarterback down for a four-yard loss. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Colonels marched 80 yards on 12 plays to put the game away. Eleven of the plays were on the ground. Junior Zavier Foster carried nine times for 47 yards including a six-yard plunge for a touchdown. Morehead State put together another quick drive, moving 64 yards in five plays over 1:22. Another Lewis to Thomas touchdown with 2:46 left to play cut the lead to seven. However, on the ensuing drive Foster converted a 4th-and-1 allowing Pryor to take a knee to kill the clock. Pryor was 13-for-22 for 148 yards and one touchdown. Foster added 81 rushing yards on 16 carries. 6 48 Morehead State at #21 Eastern Kentucky PUR 6, EKU 0 – Gary Bush 4-yard pass from Robert Marve, PAT blocked (8:43, 1st) PUR 13, EKU 0 – Landon Feichter 34-yard interception return (7:51, 1st) PUR 20, EKU 0 – Kurt Freytag 7-yard run (13:46, 2nd) PUR 20, EKU 6 – Matt Denham 30-yard run, PAT blocked (11:17, 2nd) PUR 27, EKU 6 – Antavian Edison 13-yard pass from Marve (4;26, 2nd) PUR 34, EKU 6 – Akeem Shavers 8-yard run (1:19, 2nd) PUR 41, EKU 6 – Gabe Holmes 8-yard pass from Marve (2:59, 3rd) PUR 48, EKU 6 – Justin Sinz 15-yard pass from Rob Henry (1:54, 4th) First Downs Rushing Yardage Passing Yardage Passes Punting Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards 3rd Dn.

This was the first ever meeting between the OVC and Big South teams. Senior running back Matt Denham tallied two touchdowns, including his first collegiate scoring catch. Meanwhile, senior quarterback T.J. Pryor ran for a score and found fellow senior Tyrone Goard for a 77yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Eastern never trailed and jumped out to a 7-0 lead on its opening drive. Sophomore Jared McClain, who played the first three series at quarterback, found Denham behind the defense for a 32-yard touchdown pass. After Coastal Carolina responded with a touchdown drive on its first possession, EKU took the lead for good in the second quarter. The Colonels moved 76 yards methodically down the field and capped the drive with a Pryor one-yard sneak on 4th-and-goal. The Chanticleers tried a bit of trickery later in the quarter, but to no avail. Lining up for a 44-yard field goal attempt, Coastal Carolina instead attempted a pass which came up inches shy of the first down. Eastern Kentucky capitalized two plays later when Pryor hit Goard for the 77-yard touchdown strike to stretch the lead to 21-7. In the third quarter, Coastal slashed the lead to 21-14 thanks to a Matt Hazel five-yard touchdown catch on 3rd-and-goal. However, the Colonels immediately struck back with another grueling drive, this time 13 plays for 73 yards. Pryor had a key third down run for 21 yards and Denham followed with a six-yard touchdown run. Eastern Kentucky put the game away midway through the fourth quarter when junior Deshaun Sands found pay dirt with a one-yard run. The Colonel defense was particularly stout in the final period, coming away with a fumble recovery and forcing a turnover on downs. Sophomore defensive back Brandon Stanley led the EKU defense with nine tackles and one pass-break up. Senior defensive back Justin Bell added five stops, two forced fumbles and three pass break-ups. #20 Eastern Kentucky at Coastal Carolina 7 7 14 0 7 10 7 0 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky jumped out to a 34-8 halftime lead on its way to a 51-21 win over Jacksonville State. The game featured a match-up of the top two teams in the Ohio Valley Conference preseason poll. Eastern rolled up 380 yards of offense in the first half and scored on five of its seven possessions. Colonel senior quarterback T.J. Pryor had four first half touchdown passes while JSU quarterbacks combined for three completions. Pryor got EKU on the board by capping the team’s first possession with a 28-yard touchdown toss to senior running back Matt Denham. With Eastern Kentucky in front 14-0 early in the second quarter, the Gamecocks cut the deficit to six with an eight-play, 74-yard scoring drive. Coty Blanchard completed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Cheeks and Jerry Slota ran in for the two-point conversion. The Colonels scored on their next possession, starting a streak of 20 unanswered points. Senior wide out Tyrone Goard hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass from Pryor to get it started. Pryor also completed scoring strikes of 18 and three yards to finish off the second quarter. Pryor finished the first half 12-for-17 for 218 yards to go along with his four touchdown passes. After Jacksonville State put seven on the board with 4:23 left in the third quarter, Denham answered with a career-long 73-yard touchdown run to push the lead back to 29 points. Any hope of a fourth quarter Gamecock comeback faded when senior defensive back Cejay Ceniza intercepted his second pass of the game at the EKU 16 and returned it 84 yards down the visitors sideline for a touchdown. The extra-point made it 51-15 with 14:45 left in the game. The Colonels combined for 327 yards on the ground. Denham carried 24 times for 218 yards, two touchdowns on the ground and one through the air.

The No. 19 Colonels now stand at 4-1 overall for the first time since 1999. Senior wide receiver Tyrone Goard tied a program record with four touchdown receptions. His 78-yard scoring catch from fellow senior T.J. Pryor with 8:57 remaining gave EKU the lead for good, 21-16. Goard totaled career highs in receptions (seven) and receiving yards (175) to go along with the four scoring catches. Pryor set a program record of his own as he moved into first place on Eastern Kentucky’s all-time passing list. The native of Louisville, Ky., now has 6,085 career passing yards thanks to his 211 yards passing and three touchdown tosses at UT Martin. UT Martin used a couple of big plays on third downs to take a 13-7 lead into halftime. Midway through the third quarter, the Skyhawks had a 1st-and-goal situation only to see the Colonels hold UT Martin to a field goal which extended the lead to 16-7. Eastern Kentucky’s offense finally came to life on the ensuing possession. Junior tight end Nathan Watts (29 yards) and junior wide out Ike Ariguzo (12 yards) each came away with key receptions on third down to extend the drive. Sophomore quarterback Jared McClain then found Goard for a 25-yard touchdown strike to slice the deficit to just two points, 16-14. The play of the game came two possessions later for the Colonels. Facing a 3rd-and-21, Pryor found Goard streaking down the left sideline for the 78-yard touchdown pass. Eastern’s defense held UT Martin to minus-five yards on the following drive. The Skyhawk punter fumbled the snap on the punt attempt, allowing the Colonels to take over at the UTM 29-yard line. Three quick plays later, Pryor put an exclamation point on the day with a perfect 27-yard touchdown lob to Goard at the far pylon. After the Skyhawks took the 16-7 lead, the Colonel defense held UT Martin to just 61 yards on the final five possessions. Senior linebacker Kevin Hamlin posted a season-high eight stops and a sack to pace EKU. #19 Eastern Kentucky at UT Martin 0 6 7 7 7 3 14 0 – – NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee State quarterback Michael German scored on a oneyard sneak with eight seconds remaining to give the host Tigers a hard-fought 23-20 victory over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon at Hale Stadium. With the win, TSU improves to 6-0 overall for the first time since 2001. Eastern Kentucky took a 20-10 lead early in the fourth quarter thanks to a 30-yard field goal by junior Luke Pray. However, Tennessee State responded with touchdowns on its last two possessions to earn the win. TSU running back Trabis Ward notched a three-yard touchdown run with 8:49 remaining to cut the deficit to 20-16. The Tigers missed the extra point. On that drive, Tennessee State converted a 3rd-and-17 with a 28yard pass to Weldon Garlington. The Colonels tried to run out the clock on their next drive, but failed to convert a 4th-and-9 at the Tiger 32-yard line with 2:44 on the clock. From there, the Tigers quickly moved the ball down the field. Two pass plays from German, one to Travis James and one to Ward, helped TSU reach the Eastern 12-yard line. Tennessee State then converted a 4th-and-1 at the EKU three-yard line with 12 seconds left. One play later, German pushed the offensive line into the end zone for the winning score. Tennessee State capitalized on a couple of EKU special teams mistakes to take a 10-7 lead into halftime. The Colonels missed a 24-yard field goal attempt early in the second quarter that would have given Eastern a 10-0 edge. A few minutes later, senior defensive back Justin Bell fumbled a Tennessee State punt at the EKU 24-yard line. The Tigers turned that miscue into a touchdown to level the game at 7-all. Eastern Kentucky scored on its first three touches in the second half to regain the lead at 20-10. Senior running back Matt Denham tallied a fouryard scoring run while Pray added two field goals (21, 30 yards). Denham reached 100 yards rushing for the 12th time in the last 14 games with 114 yards.

Pryor added two more records to the one he already held as Eastern Kentucky rolled to a 45-14 victory over Austin Peay Saturday afternoon at Roy Kidd Stadium. Typically, completing your first seven passes – two of which were for touchdowns – and leading your team to scores on four of its first five possessions for a 28-7 halftime lead is impressive on its own. Pryor did all that and broke a pair of school passing records in the COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Eastern Kentucky blitzed host Tennessee Tech for 22 straight points in the fourth quarter to earn a 42-28 win Saturday night at Tucker Stadium. Tennessee Tech scored 11 seconds into the fourth quarter to take a 28-20 lead, but from that point on Eastern Kentucky controlled the game. The Colonels responded with a 14-play drive to tally the tying touchdown. Senior Tyrone Goard’s 24-yard catch and fellow senior Matt Denham’s 17-yard run helped the drive along. Junior Deshaun Sands finally found the end zone on a 4th-and-1 play. Eastern’s defense came away with a turnover three plays later. Facing a 3rd-and-11, senior Justin Bell blitzed off the left side and forced an errant throw from TTU quarterback Tre Lamb. Senior Cejay Ceniza was in perfect position to haul in the interception and returned the ball to the Golden Eagle 27-yard line. Junior wide receiver Ike Ariguzo then made a juggling 28-yard touchdown catch off a perfect pass from senior T.J. Pryor to give the Colonels the lead with 7:01 left, 35-28. On Tennessee Tech’s next possession, it took just one play for the Eastern Kentucky defense to force another turnover. Junior linebacker Ichiro Vance tipped a TTU pass attempt which landed perfectly in senior Brooklyn Fox’s lap. Fox returned the pick to the home team’s 34-yard line to give the Colonels another golden opportunity for a score. Senior wide receiver Cameron Bailey cashed in on Tennessee Tech’s mistake when Pryor found him wide open in the end zone for a 38-yard scoring strike. That play put the game away and made the score, 42-28. Tennessee Tech led throughout much of the first three quarters, mainly on the big pass play. Eastern Kentucky struggled to find some consistency on offense through the first three quarters before converting 5-of-7 (71.4 percent) third downs in the final period and racking up 163 yards of offense on 26 plays. Meanwhile, Tech managed just seven yards on nine plays for the entire quarter. process. On Eastern’s first offensive play, Pryor hit a wide open Cameron Bailey for an 84-yard scoring pass. That tied the school mark of 46 career touchdown passes held by Jim Guice (1964-68). In the second quarter, Pryor hooked up with fellow senior Tyrone Goard from 28 yards out to break the record and give the Colonels a 21-0 lead. Pryor’s second touchdown pass was his sixth straight completion to start the game and the 479th of his career. That completion broke Josh Greco’s (2004-07) school record of 478 completions. Two weeks ago in a victory over UT Martin, Pryor broke Eastern’s record for career passing yards. On EKU’s next possession, senior running back Matt Denham ran it in from five yards out, his second scoring run of the game, and the Colonels’ fourth score in their first five possessions. Eastern Kentucky rolled up 302 yards of offense in the first half, outgaining the Governors by 87 yards despite holding the ball for four fewer minutes. EKU’s four scoring drives were on one, nine, six and two plays. Two of the drives lasted 11 and 48 seconds. Senior defensive back Justin Bell’s 16-yard interception return for a touchdown with 9:21 left in the third quarter gave the Colonels a 35-7 lead and put the game away. Jake Ryan accounted for both of Austin Peay’s scores. He completed a four-yard pass to Darryl Clack in the second quarter and a 38-yard touchdown pass to Mikhail Creech in the third quarter.

EKU entered the contest averaging 201 yards rushing per game and was ranked eighth nationally in thirddown conversions at 50.4 percent. EIU quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had a great showing, completing 32-of-51 passes for 266 yards and one touchdown. Running back Jake Walker chipped in with 21 carries for 119 yards and a score. The first half was a defensive struggle for both teams. The Panthers got on the board first when Walker found the end zone on a one-yard run. Eastern Kentucky responded right before halftime when running back Matt Denham rumbled in with a four-yard scoring run. Eastern Illinois then scored on its first two possessions of the second half to take control of the game. The Panthers converted three third downs on their first possession, plus a 4th-and-2 play, before Taylor Duncan capped the 16-play drive with a one-yard score. Cameron Berra added a 41-yard field goal midway through the third quarter to extend the lead to 17-7. Early in the fourth quarter, EIU moved 91 yards in 10 plays to make the score 24-7. Garoppolo found Erik Lora in the corner of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown pass with 12:08 remaining.

EKU’s second half possessions consisted of four punts, a missed field goal and an interception. The Colonels managed just 132 yards of offense in the final 30 minutes. Eastern Illinois at #18 Eastern Kentucky 7 0 0 7 10 0 7 0 – – CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Eastern Kentucky stayed alive in the race for a spot in the NCAA FCS playoffs with a convincing 31-7 victory over host Southeast Missouri Saturday afternoon at Houck Stadium. The Colonel defense kept SEMO off the board until the Redhawks’ final drive of the game. Eastern forced three Southeast Missouri turnovers and twice held the Redhawks on fourth down tries. Senior defensive back Brooklyn Fox led EKU with his team-leading sixth interception while also recovering a fumble. Eastern Kentucky got on the board on its first possession following Fox’s interception which he returned to the SEMO eight-yard line. Senior running back Matt Denham converted a 4th-and-goal from the one-yard line to put the Colonels on top, 7-0. In the second quarter, a big pass play from sophomore quarterback Jared McClain to senior Tyrone Goard moved the ball to the Redhawk 24-yard line. Two plays later, junior running back Deshaun Sands burst through the left side of the line for a 20-yard score to push the lead to 17-0 at halftime. McClain engineered two scoring drives in the third quarter to make the score 31-0. He scored on a three-yard boot-leg to cap a nine-play, 60-yard drive and then scrambled out of pressure for another three-yard score at the end of the quarter. For the game, McClain finished 8-of-11 passing for 138 yards while adding 24 rushing yards and two scores. Meanwhile, Denham piled up 24 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown. Sands chipped in with 48 yards rushing. Southeast Missouri running back Levi Terrell, who had rushed for at least 100 yards in five straight games, was held to a season-low 57 yards on the ground. 24 7 #23 Eastern Kentucky at Southeast Missouri EIU 7, EKU 0 – Jake Walker 1-yard run (0:36, 1st) EIU 7, EKU 7 – Matt Denham 4-yard run (0:25, 2nd) EIU 14, EKU 7 – Taylor Duncan 1-yard run (10:38, 3rd) EIU 17, EKU 7 – Cameron Berra 41-yard field goal (6:57, 3rd) EIU 24, EKU 7 – Erik Lora 15-yard pass from Jimmy Garoppolo (12:08, 4th) First Downs Rushing Yardage Passing Yardage Passes Punting Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards 3rd Dn.

However, Eastern Illinois’ victory over Southeast Missouri eliminated the Colonels from OVC title contention. The Colonels scored touchdowns on their first five possessions, and eight of 11 possessions overall. The Racers (4-6, 3-4 OVC) put points on the board on their first four touches, but were held scoreless the rest of the game. Early in the second quarter, Murray State took a 24-20 lead on an 18yard touchdown pass from Casey Brockman to Walter Powell. However, EKU answered. On 3rd-and-11 at the EKU 24, senior Tyrone Goard made a one-handed catch over the middle, with a number of defenders converging, for 43 yards. On the ensuing play, fellow senior Matt Denham tied the school record for touchdowns in a game when he scored his fourth, racing in from 33 yards out. After the Eastern defense stopped the Racers for the first time, the offense began to pull away. A trick play extended the Colonel lead to 34-24. On 3rd-and-10 at the Murray State 22, junior Deshaun Sands took the hand-off, ran to the right and then lofted a perfect pass to Goard in the right corner of the end zone for the score. The Colonel defense kept the Racers off the board the rest of the way. Thanks to forcing two turnovers and recording six sacks, Eastern Kentucky held the Racers to their lowest point total since a week two loss at Central Arkansas. Senior linebacker Kevin Hamlin notched seven tackles, one sack and one interception. Eastern Kentucky racked up season highs in total offense (666) and rushing yards (372). The Colonels converted 14-of-16 (87.5 percent) thirddown attempts and held the ball for 38:29. Denham reached 200 yards rushing for the sixth time in his career (214). He ran for three touchdowns and caught a scoring pass.

In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious Beth DeBauche OVC Commissioner history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 13 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. She is currently one of Kyle Schwartz just six females to be the head of a Division I Asst. Commissioner conference, and one of just nine to lead a Divifor Media Relations sion I conference all-time. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 65 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns (including sharing the title in 2011), which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them - Eastern Kentucky and Murray State – were from the OVC. #FCS Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU’s 20 FCS playoff appearances are the second for the most all-time (behind only Montana and tied with Appalachian State). A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. The OVC has had at least one former player named a NFL Pro Bowl selection in four of the past seven seasons. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. 2012 OVC Standings Illinois # 19/#23 Eastern Ky.

This season will feature an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams have been added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall, Montana and North Dakota State have won the title more than once. Four of the last five FCS championship games have produced a first-time champion: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010 and North Dakota State in 2011. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2013 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 4, 2014 and mark the fourth consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the field. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 43-year history. Entering the 2013 season, Eastern has won 204, lost 46, and tied 1 (.815 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. This summer, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms, media interview room and a modern training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously. @EKUSports Eastern Kentucky defeated Austin Peay in the inaugural game at then Hanger Field, 29-10, on Oct. 4, 1969.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by sixth-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2013 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17-of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when AllAmerican nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and AllAmerican candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records fell for the 59 EKUSports.com �eku Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a gamewinning field goal. @EKUSports 60 �COLONELS Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 allpurpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the gamewinning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national runner-up trophy. 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 65 EKUSports.com �eku All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC OG Fred Troike (1967, 68) DB Danny Copeland (1986, 87) Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C LB Tony McCombs (1994, 95, 96) @EKUSports 66 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1964, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 Dale Patton Joe Richard Chris Roberts David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coffey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler FB NG DE K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 �COLONELS All-Conference Players Mike Thomas Leon Brown Jason Combs Chris Guyton James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5 with the inductees also honored later that night at the home football game against Austin Peay. Including the 2013 induction class, there are 36 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Kevin Greve, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included.

Under Mark Elder’s guidance, the program returned to where it belongs in 2018 – seven wins, a top-3 conference finish and in the running for a spot in the playoffs. After four straight top-25 rated recruiting classes re-stocked the Colonel roster with a talented young core, Elder saw player development efforts pay dividends on the field this past season. In addition to finishing with the most wins in a season since 2014, and having won 10 of their last 16 games, the Colonels finished fifth in the nation in interceptions in 2018, 26th in the country in rushing, averaged a touchdown more per game than a season ago, allowed the second fewest points per game in the OVC and were second in the league in total defense.

The crown jewel of the facilities revitalization project opened in the fall of 2017. The new east side of Roy Kidd Stadium features a brand new team locker room with a team lounge, equipment room and a game day training area. The expansion project added over 3,000 new seats and a new concourse with modern concession facilities. “I’m excited, blessed and honored for the opportunity to lead one of the most tradition rich programs in college football,” Elder said. “It didn’t take me long to realize that this is a special place. Lindsey and I have truly enjoyed becoming a part of the EKU and Richmond community.” Despite having less than two months to put together his first recruiting class, after being hired in mid-December, Eastern’s 2016 class was ranked as the 23rd best in the nation. With more time to spend scouting future Colonels, Elder’s second recruiting class was rated as the 14th best in the country.

The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only North Dakota State (seven), Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Five of the last 11 FCS championship games have produced a first-time champ: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010, North Dakota State in 2011 and James Madison in 2017. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2019 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 11, 2020 and mark the 10th consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Roy Kidd Stadium was enhanced significantly in 2017. New east side seating was completed with 3,000 new bleacher seats and a concourse that features modern concessions and restroom facilities. The first floor is dedicated to the benefit of Colonel football student-athletes and includes a new team locker room featuring a team lounge, equipment room and a game day training area. The entire structure was constructed with future expansion and renovations to Roy Kidd Stadium in mind. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating for approximately 20,000 football spectators. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 50-year history. Entering the 2019 season, Eastern has won 224, lost 58, and tied 1 (.793 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. In the summer of 2013, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms and media interview room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. fell for the Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running back McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when All-American nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Governors as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and All-American candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records 69 @EKUSports �Football Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a game-winning field goal. EKUSports.com 70 �Football Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. AllOVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 314-124-8 (.713) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. Including the 2018 induction class, there are 48 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Yeremiah Bell, Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Jason Dunn, Kevin Greve, David Flores, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Elroy Harris, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Larry Kirksey, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Bob McIntyre, Jim Moberly, Frank Nassida, Dale Patton, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Chuck Siemon, Jessie Small, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the EKUSports Communications office.

The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), North Dakota State (five), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Four of the last eight FCS championship games have produced a first-time champ: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010 and North Dakota State in 2011. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2016 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 7, 2017 and mark the seventh consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest.

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Roy Kidd Stadium will be enhanced significantly in the coming years. New east side seating will be completed by the 2017 season, as well as a new football locker room, players’ lounge, equipment room and other improvements. It is anticipated additional enhancements to the south endzone and west side, which will be fan-focused, will be completed in the coming years. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating for approximately 20,000 football spectators. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 45-year history. Entering the 2016 season, Eastern has won 215, lost 51, and tied 1 (.807 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. In the summer of 2013, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms, media interview room and a training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. fell for the Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when All-American nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and All-American candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records 19 @EKUSports �eku Football Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a game-winning field goal. EKUSports.com 20 �COLONELS Football Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. AllOVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 25 @EKUSports �eku Football All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC DT/LB Junior Hardin (1974, 75) OT Joe Spadafino (1984, 85) Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal Dale Patton Joe Richard OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C FB NG DE Chris Coy (2007, 08) EKUSports.com 26 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1965, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978, 79 Chris Roberts David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coffey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler Mike Thomas Leon Brown Jason Combs Chris Guyton DE K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT OG RB OT S 1978 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 1992 1993 1993, 94, 95 1993, 97 �COLONELS Football All-Conference Players James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26 with the inductees also honored later that night at the home football game against Austin Peay. Including the 2015 induction class, there are 41 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Jason Dunn, Kevin Greve, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Larry Kirksey, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Jim Moberly, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the EKUSports Communications office.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. fell for the Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when All-American nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and All-American candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records 27 @EKUSports �eku Football Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a game-winning field goal. EKUSports.com 28 �COLONELS Football Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. AllOVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Bell finished the game with two tackles and a 77-yard touchdown return off a first quarter blocked field goal. 31 @EKUSports �eku Football All-Americans & Honors All-Americans OVC Player of the Year John Killen HB Alfred Limb End Fred Darling OT J.W. “Spider” Thurman QB Charles Shuster HB Don Daly HB Roy Kidd QB Jimmy Chittum HB Buddy Pfaadt S Aaron Marsh SE Jim Guice QB Fred Troike OG Teddy Taylor NG Wally Chambers DT Everett Talbert TB Junior Hardin DT Scott McCallister TB Ernie House QB Roosevelt Kelly C Jim Nelson WR Bob McIntyre LB George Floyd ROV Kevin Greve OG Steve Bird WR Chris Sullivan C Joe Spadafino OG Fred Harvey LB Dale Dawson K Aaron Jones DT Elroy Harris TB Jessie Small DE Al Jacevicius OT Kelly Blount LB Carl Satterly OT Ernest Thompson DL Markus Thomas TB Chad Bratzke DE James Hand OG Marc Collins P Tony McCombs LB Chris Guyton DB David Hoelscher DE Tyrone Hopson OT Alex Bannister WR Yeremiah Bell DB Pierre Wright DB Patrick Bugg TE Derrick Huff DB Taylor Long K Derek Hardman OT Jeremy Caldwell KR Andrew Soucy DL Emory Attig DL Jeremy Caldwell DB Matt Denham RB Aaron Adams OL Dy’Shawn Mobley RB 1936 1936 1941 1941 1941, 42 1952 1953 1963 1966 1967 1968 1968 1969 1972 1974 1975 1975 1976 1976 1977 1979 1980, 81 1980, 81 1982 1983, 84 1985 1986 1986 1987 1988 1988 1989, 90 1990 1991 1991 1992 1993 1994, 95 1995 1996 1997 1997 1998 2000 2001 2004 2005, 06 2007 2008 2009 2010 2010 2011 2011 2011 2012 2014 QB Spider Thurman FS DB EKUSports.com 1977 1987 RB QB WR TB TB QB QB QB RB 1974, 76 1976 1982 1988 1991, 92 1997 2005 2007 2014 Defensive Buddy Pfaadt George Floyd Fred Harvey Aaron Jones David Wilkins Chad Bratzke Tony McCombs Yeremiah Bell Justen Rivers Derrick Huff Andrew Soucy DB DB LB DL DE DE LB DB LB DB DL 1966 1980, 81 1984, 86 1987 1991 1993 1996 2001 2004 2007 2010 WR Devin Borders OG James Hand OVC Freshman of the Year T.J.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 33 @EKUSports �eku Football All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC DT/LB Junior Hardin (1974, 75) OT Joe Spadafino (1984, 85) DE Chris Coy (2007, 08) EKUSports.com Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal Dale Patton OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C FB 34 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1965, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978, 79 Joe Richard Chris Roberts David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coffey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler Mike Thomas Leon Brown NG DE K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT OG RB 1978, 79 1978 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 1992 1993 �COLONELS Football All-Conference Players Jason Combs Chris Guyton James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26 with the inductees also honored later that night at the home football game against Austin Peay. Including the 2015 induction class, there are 41 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Jason Dunn, Kevin Greve, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Larry Kirksey, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Jim Moberly, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the EKUSports Communications office.

Located in Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky, Eastern has a distinguished record of more than a century of educational service to the Commonwealth. History – The Kentucky General Assembly of 1906 enacted legislation establishing the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School. Governor J.C. Beckham signed the bill into law on March 21, 1906. On May 7 of that year, the Normal School Commission, meeting in Louisville, selected the campus of the old Central University, founded in 1874 in Richmond, as the site of the new school. On June 2, 1906, Ruric Nevel Roark was chosen President of the Normal School and the training of teachers was begun. In 1922, Eastern became a four-year institution known as the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College. The first degrees were awarded by this institution in 1925. In 1928, the College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1930, the General Assembly renamed the school the Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College. In 1935, a graduate program was approved at Eastern, leading to the Master of Arts degree in Education. In 1948, the General Assembly removed the word “Teachers” from the name of the college and granted the college the right to award nonprofessional degrees. The most significant day since its founding came for Eastern on February 26, 1966, when Governor Edward T. Breathitt signed into law a bill renaming the institution Eastern Kentucky University and sanctioning the awarding of graduate degrees in academic fields other than education. During this period of time, Eastern Kentucky University has increased rapidly in size and stature. Beginning with a few students engaged in short review and certificate courses, the University today serves thousands of Kentuckians. The curriculum leads to associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees, and an expanding graduate program that currently offers degrees at the master’s level in many other fields as well as the already well-established Master of Arts degree in Education and the various fifth- and sixth-year leadership programs in education, psychology, and technology. In addition to these programs, Eastern offers joint doctoral programs with cooperating institutions. Purpose – Within its statutory responsibilities, Eastern Kentucky University seeks to provide intellectual and cultural opportunities that will develop habits of scholarship and intellectual curiosity, provide a deep understanding of American democracy and the citizen’s role in maintaining its strength and vitality, impart an understanding of humans and their aspirations, enable effective and efficient communication, and prepare productive and responsible citizens. The University will remain responsive and flexible in order to serve in unique and needed ways. Within these general responsibilities and purposes, the University is dedicated to three specific functions – high-quality instruction, scholarship, and service, and places emphasis on the three in that order. Through its colleges and schools, the University seeks to offer quality instruction at a variety of degree levels in general education, the arts, the sciences, business, education, pre-professional and professional areas, and applied and technical disciplines. Through consultative services, continuing education, and the extended campus, the University seeks to provide service to the community and the region. Research seeks both to advance knowledge in the subject matter areas with which the University is concerned and to support the primary function of teaching. @EKUFootball 4 �COLONELS City of Richmond Richmond is home to many interesting and convenient activities. Whether it’s arts and entertainment, recreation, or shopping and dining out you are looking for, Richmond has it all. With more than 100 buildings in Richmond on the National Register of Historic Places and three areas on the National Register of Historic Districts, it is one of Kentucky’s finest restored 19th Century commercial districts. Arts and entertainment take center-stage with the EKU Center for the Arts. Its grand opening in 2011-12 featured such acts as Wynonna Judd, Peter Frampton, Jerry Seinfeld, Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. With 2,100 seats, the theater is the largest performing arts venue in Central Kentucky — larger than Lexington’s Singletary Center for the Arts at the University of Kentucky and Danville’s Norton Center for the Arts at Centre College. There is never any lack of recreational activities in Richmond. An array of parks and recreational centers across the city offers something for everyone. Lake Reba Recreational Complex includes golf, little league baseball and softball fields, soccer, fishing and a water park which opened in the summer of 2008. If it’s shopping you want, downtown Richmond can accommodate you. Locally owned businesses line the historic streets of downtown Richmond with everything from fine antiquities to exquisite jewelry. There is a wide variety of stores at the brand new Richmond Centre as well. The outdoor mall offers shoppers convenience and style. Dining isn’t hard to find either. Family-owned and major chain restaurants give Richmond a unique variety of menus. Local hot spots include Madison Gardens, which is uniquely Richmond, to restaurants such as Olive Garden, Logan’s Roadhouse, O’Charley’s and Outback Steakhouse. Whatever your pallet craves, Richmond dining offers a variety of tastes made to satisfy. Never far from mainstream, Richmond offers the comforts of simplicity with the convenience of the city. Only 29 miles from Lexington and the Bluegrass Airport, Richmond is easily accessible to all travelers. Interstate 75 is a major artery of both state and national motor transportation. Richmond’s location on I-75 makes it an important factor in making the city a commercial hub. In fact, the ease of travel to and from Richmond makes the city an ideal spot for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Fort Boonesborough State Park is located only 12 miles from EKU’s campus, while Natural Bridge State Park (63 miles) and Cumberland Falls State Park (100 miles) are located nearby. Also within easy driving distance of Richmond are the Kentucky Horse Park, the state capital in Frankfort, Herrington Lake, My Old Kentucky Home at Bardstown, White Hall State Shrine and thoroughbred horse racing at Keeneland. A Brief Richmond History Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site.

Will the team bounce back from a disappointing 6-6 finish to the 2013 season and be an Ohio Valley Conference title contender again this year? Or will the Colonels face another challenging year in a very competitive and balanced league? Ohio Valley Conference Titles “If we execute, espeNo. Last cially down the stretch 1.

Austin Peay 16 offenses utilize the *selected by head coaches and SIDs spread attack, Coach Hood shook up many of the player positions on defense. “We got faster moving down and faster moving over [from offense to defense],” Hood said. “Part of this rationale is a function of what we see in our league [from opposing offenses] and who we have to beat to win a championship.” Players such as junior Marquise Piton and sophomore LaJuan Smith have moved from linebacker to defensive end. Junior Trey Thomas and senior Chris Owens are now penciled in as linebackers instead of defensive backs. Senior Theron Norman is moving to safety from corner back. Even sophomore Thomas Owens, who was the team’s fourth leading rusher in 2013, has changed positions to linebacker. “I thought all of those guys looked really good in the spring,” Hood said. On offense, Eastern will attempt to rekindle its physical brand of football from 2012 when former Colonel Matt Denham ran for 1,386 yards and 14 scores. Newcomer Dy’Shawn Mobley heads into preseason camp as the number one running back. “Mobley is an experienced back who has played at a high level,” Hood said. “He is perfect for our system and what we want to do.” Eastern Kentucky recruited Mobley out of high school, but he went on to sign with Kentucky. In the 2013 season finale at Tennessee, Mobley ran for 143 yards on 17 carries (8.4 ypr). Another position to keep an eye on this summer is the quarterback spot where senior incumbent Jared McClain will compete against University of Cincinnati transfer Bennie Coney and redshirt freshman Barton Mann for the signal-caller duties. tors last year. “With all of those guys back and having some game experience, I think the offensive line will go back to being more of a dominant force like we were two years ago,” Hood said. Juniors Brett Eyckmans and Josh Minor are slated to fill the left and right tackle positions for the second straight year. Eyckmans has started 18 consecutive games on the offensive line. Meanwhile, Minor started the first four games of 2013 before suffering a major injury. The inside of the offensive line shapes up to be sophomore Ryan Garretson at left guard, senior Dustin Crane at center and junior Trey Shelton at right guard. Crane started every game at center last year while Shelton was forced to serve as the right tackle for seven contests. Garretson saw plenty of game action as a reserve and even started a pair of tilts against Tennessee State and Jacksonville State. There is plenty of depth at the running back position. Mobley ran for 300 yards and averaged 7.0 yards per carry a year ago for Kentucky. Sophomore JJ Jude paced the Colonels with 637 rushing yards and twice reached the 100-yard plateau in 2013. “Mobley is an excellent leader,” Hood said. “He came in with a humble spirit and hardworking character. Our guys have accepted him in a hurry and he gets the entire offense fired up.” Besides Mobley and Jude, redshirt freshman Kentayvus Hopkins could make some noise in the backfield this season. Hopkins was the Class 3A Player of the Year two years ago at Bourbon County. An injury to sophomore quarterback Kyle Romano in the middle of the spring left Eastern with just one experienced quarterback heading into the fall – McClain. McClain finished third in the OVC in both passing (1,535 yards) and total offense (162.4 ypg) in his first season as the team’s starter. Not only can McClain throw, but he can also run as he posted 414 yards on the ground and a team high seven rushing touchdowns last year. Coney played in two games for Cincinnati a season ago and completed 6-of-7 pass attempts. He will be a redshirt sophomore in 2014. “I felt we had good guys at that position, but we wanted to be better at quarterback and deeper with experience,” Hood said. “We were really blessed to run into Coney.” The Offense A pivotal key to the offense’s success in 2014 could be the play of the offensive line. All five projected starters were major contribu- @EKUFootball Senior center Dustin Crane is one of three returning starters on the offensive line. 8 �COLONELS Season Outlook went through a full spring season and made a very positive impression. Meanwhile, Thomas and Owens will compete for the starting strong side linebacker spot. Senior Khiry Maddox, who has experience at all three of the linebacker positions, is slated to fill the weak side linebacker position. Junior Chris Kelly, a special teams standout the last two years, adds depth to the linebacker unit. “We like our corner situation,” Hood said. “We feel that we have three quality players in Kiante Northington, Stanley Absanon and Johnny Joseph.” That trio combined for three interceptions and 11 pass break-ups just a year ago. Northington also ranked third on the squad with six tackles for loss as a redshirt freshman. Depending on how the lineup settles, Northington may move over to safety. Coach Hood wants to see more out of his safeties this year and that begins with 2012 All-OVC performer Brandon Stanley. The senior led the Colonels in tackles last year (61) even though he missed the first three games with an injury. Fellow senior Theron Norman and transfer Tyrell Curry are in the mix for the other safety spot. Curry returned an interception 70 yards for a score in the spring game. The Special Teams EKU’s special teams will have a different look this year due to the departure of three-time all-league punter Jordan Berry. The Colonels ranked sixth nationally in net punting in 2013 (39.08 yards per punt). Another Australian has been brought in to assume the punting duties – Keith Wrzuszczak. The true freshman will not have the luxury of redshirting like Berry did when he arrived at Eastern in 2009. “I think Wrzuszczak has the mentality to handle [the job],” Hood said. “He definitely has the potential to blossom into an allconference type of player.” The placekicking duties should be in good hands with senior Andrew Lloyd. He converted 8-of-10 field goal attempts last fall, including a long of 49 yards in the season finale at Murray State. Junior Taylor Speaks will handle the long snapping duties for a third straight year. The coaching staff has high expectations for senior linebacker Tyrelle Johnson. Mann, true freshman Tyler Swafford and the potential return of Romano give the Colonels the most depth the team has had under head coach Dean Hood. Whoever is throwing the ball for EKU will have plenty of targets to choose from. Headlining the wide receiver unit is 2013 OVC Freshman of the Year Devin Borders. The 6-5 sophomore led the Colonels with 509 receiving yards and six touchdowns last season. The other starting receiver is expected to be 6-4 junior Jeff Glover. Tranard Chester, another 6-4 receiver, could step in as another impact player after redshirting in 2013. Tight end Matt Lengel was granted a sixth year of eligibility after suffering an early-season knee injury in two straight years. If healthy, the 6-7 blocker/receiver significantly enhances the offense’s diversity. The Schedule This is the final time until 2019 that FCS teams can play a 12game regular season schedule. Eastern Kentucky has filled its schedule with a pair of FBS opponents – Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 6 and Florida in the regular season finale on Nov. 22. The Colonels open the schedule by playing five of their first six games on the road. The lone home game is a rivalry game against Morehead State on Sept. 13. EKU has won eight straight meetings in that series. EKU begins the OVC slate with a road game at UT Martin on Sept. 20. That game will be televised on ESPN3 as part of the OVC Game of the Week series. The Colonels host two-time defending league champion Eastern Illinois on Oct. 11. Eastern winds down the conference schedule with three of the preseason favorites – at Tennessee State on Nov. 1, versus Jacksonville State on Nov. 8 and versus Murray State on Nov. 15. The 24-team FCS playoffs begin on Nov. 29. The Defense New faces abound everywhere on the defensive side of the ball. However, one of the few familiar faces can be found on the defensive line where junior Bryce Krebs is set to enter his third year as a starting defensive tackle. The Colonels ranked second in the OVC in rushing defense last year, allowing just 123.3 yards per game. Sophomore Avery Pitt, Eastern’s 2012 Defensive Future of the Year award recipient, looks to fill in the other tackle spot. Sophomore Daryl Taylor and junior Floyd Coffey are the projected starting ends. Coffey was among the team leaders in sacks (2.5) and tackles for loss (7.0) as a sophomore. Patrick Graffree could be a wild card on the interior of the defensive line. Graffree, a sophomore transfer from Kentucky, missed most of the spring with an injury. “I like all of the guys who have been waiting in line, they just have to step up, show they can do it and produce,” Hood said. The coaching staff is very high on senior Tyrelle Johnson as an impact player at middle linebacker this fall.

The Demon Deacons allowed just 15.4 ppg to rank second in the ACC and 21st nationally. Against the run, Wake yielded just 105.8 yards per game to rank 21st nationally, the third lowest total in Wake Forest history. Against the pass, the Demon Deacons recorded 22 interceptions, second most in the nation. Hood’s defenders earned All-ACC mention 14 times. That list includes four NFL draft picks – Calvin Pace, Montique Sharpe, Eric King and Josh Gattis. Hood entered the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College, where he worked with the defensive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 interceptions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University. From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State College, the last three of which he served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In 1993, Glenville finished 10-3 and advanced to the NAIA Division I championship game. Also that year, Hood’s defense led the nation in scoring defense (9.2 ppg), passing defense (118.0 ypg), and total defense (223.0 ypg). Hood moved to Ohio University for two years (1999-2000) where he was in charge of the defensive backs. That unit recorded 17 interceptions in 1999, the most in more than a decade. The following year, Ohio ranked 20th nationally in scoring defense (18.9 points per game) as the Bobcat defense was one of only five units in Division I-A that did not allow more than 30 points in a game throughout the entire season. This is Hood’s first head coaching position and he is just the third EKU head football coach in the last 50 years. “Knowing first-hand what Coach Kidd built here, this is one of the best jobs in the country,” Hood said. “I remember when I was here the first time thinking how many guys in the history of athletics are still coaching in a facility named after them. That is rare. It is exciting to be at the helm of this program.” Head Coach • 7th Year at EKU (40-29) Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986 u 2011 AFCA Regional Coach of the Year u 2008 OVC Coach of the Year u 2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and head coach Dean Hood has delivered Ohio Valley Conference championships twice in his six years as head coach (2011, 2008). “It doesn’t matter if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU. They can’t play to the best of their athletic ability until they know exactly where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to do on the field.” The Eastern football program has produced eight All-Americans, one OVC Defensive Player of the Year, one OVC Freshman of the Year and 24 first team all-conference performers in Hood’s six years on the EKU sidelines. This past fall, wide receiver Devin Borders became just the second Colonel to win the OVC Freshman of the Year accolades since the award was started in 2004. Hood, 50, spent seven seasons working at Wake Forest University before taking over the EKU program in January 2008. Under Hood’s direction, the Wake Forest defense was known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, more than two per game. In 2007, Wake Forest led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 35 turnovers forced on its way to going 9-4 and capturing the Meineke Car Care Bowl. “Dean Hood is a wonderful blend of several characteristics we were looking for in a head coach,” EKU Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “He’s a great teacher, excellent recruiter, a person of high character, and someone who has been part of the EKU football heritage.” From 1994-98, Hood spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky under College Football Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd. He served all five years as the secondary coach and the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood’s first stint at EKU, the Colonels captured two Ohio Valley Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs three times. “This was a big deal for me,” former Eastern Kentucky University President Dr. Doug Whitlock said. “I have been an Eastern football fan for almost 50 years; so I wanted us to find someone who would fit in with the community, had the kind of values that our football program has traditionally been built upon, and hopefully had been a part of the EKU football tradition. And, yes, we wanted someone who has been and will be a winner. Dean Hood fills all those particulars.” At Wake Forest, Hood and the rest of the Demon Deacons broke every program record imaginable in 2006 and set many other milestones. WFU won the ACC title for the first time since 1970 by shattering the program record with 11 victories. The Demon Deacons earned a berth in a BCS bowl game, taking on Louisville in the FedEx Orange Bowl. #GoBigE Hood’s Coaching Experience Year School 1987-88 Fairmont (W.Va.)

This is a chance to implement those thoughts.” Hood is married to the former Crystal Ramsey of Richmond, Ky. The couple has four children – two sons, Trey and Daven, and two daughters, Jada and Cordia. What Others Are Saying About Dean Hood “It doesn’t get any better than Dean Hood.

He will once sixth season overall on the EKU football staff. He spent his first two years on staff as the special teams coordinator. The Eastern Kentucky offense changed gears under Damron three years ago from a spread scheme to a power rushing attack. The change brought significant results as running back Matt Denham finished among the top-10 nationally in rushing in both 2011 and 2012. The Colonels have rushed for at least 2,200 yards in three straight years under Damron. Even with a run-oriented offense, the Colonels were able to score at least 30 points in six games last year, including 44 tallies against nationally-ranked Tennessee State. The EKU offense should be loaded in the backfield and on the perimeter this fall as all of the skill positions feature returning starters. “Coach Damron brings positive energy to the field every day,” EKU head coach Dean Hood said. “Offense is his cup of tea. He has been the offensive coordinator or the head coach calling the offensive plays for numerous other teams throughout his career. I’m thrilled that Dane is running the offense.” Damron, a native of Grayson, Ky., began his collegiate coaching career at Eastern Kentucky in 1995. He served two years as a graduate assistant and wide receivers coach under Roy Kidd. Damron earned his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1996. Following a coaching stint at Morehead State, Damron moved to the high school ranks where he coached for nine years. From 200205, he was the head coach of Boyd County where he helped the Lions advance to the second round of the KHSAA playoffs three straight years. Before returning to EKU in 2009, Damron served three years as Kentucky Christian University’s head football coach, which culminated with the school’s first-ever varsity football season in 2008. Damron played collegiate football at Georgetown College from 1990-94. The quarterback was a two-time NAIA All-American and led the Tigers to the 1991 NAIA national championship. Damron and his wife Delisha have two children – Hanna (14) and Derek (10). again serve as the linebackers coach in 2014. The linebacker corps will feature some new faces this season as longtime stalwarts Anthony Brown, Tyler Horn and Ichiro Vance have graduated. Brown and Vance were both three-time all-conference honorees while Horn started every game as a senior one year ago. “We’re certainly very excited to have Garry on staff,” Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood said. “He came highly recommended and with his extensive defensive background, especially at the linebacker position, this seemed like the perfect fit for us.” Before arriving at EKU, the native of Columbus, Ohio, served as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State in 2008. Fisher was a four-year letterwinner at Bowling Green (199801) as an outside linebacker before transitioning into the Falcons’ coaching ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an offensive assistant for the 2004 Mountain West Conference and 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions.

Aug. 29, 2013 • Roy Kidd Stadium (12,200) RICHMOND, Ky. – In its first Thursday night season-opener in 13 years, Eastern Kentucky rolled to a 38-6 win over Robert Morris. The Colonels scored on four of their first five possessions to take a 28-6 lead at halftime. The Eastern defense began the second half with an interception in its own territory and held the Colonials on downs on their next two possessions to put the game away. Quarterback Jared McClain had a hand in four of Eastern’s five touchdowns, throwing for two and running for two more. McClain accumulated 232 yards of offense combined passing (155), rushing (44) and receiving (33). The Hiram, Ga., native completed 16-of-21 passes, ran the ball 12 times and caught one pass. McClain capped EKU’s first possession with a 10-yard scoring pass to senior Ike Ariguzo. McClain took care of business himself on Eastern’s next possession, taking it in from a yard out for a 14-0 lead. With just over seven minutes remaining in the second quarter, McClain rolled out and found a wide open senior tight end Nathan Watts from two yards out for his second passing score of the game. Robert Morris closed the gap to 21-6 with a 20-yard scoring pass from Paul Jones to Alex Caratelli inside of two minutes to go in the first half. The extra-point was blocked, Eastern’s second blocked kick of the game. McClain completed 12 of his 15 first half pass attempts for 118 yards. Robert Morris opened the second half with a drive into Eastern territory in attempt to get back into the game, but redshirt freshman Jason Fergerson deflected a pass right into the hands of sophomore Johnny Joseph at the EKU 22-yard line to end that threat. After the Colonel defense held the Colonials on downs on their next possession, the Eastern offense put together a methodical scoring drive that began with 4:48 left in the third and ended with 14:21 showing on the clock in the fourth quarter. EKU ran the ball eight times for 37 yards and attempted four passes that covered 34 yards. McClain’s eight-yard touchdown run polished off the drive. Eastern Kentucky totaled 401 yards of offense, with 207 coming on the ground. Robert Morris ran for just 55 yards. Robert Morris at #19 Eastern Kentucky 0 14 6 14 0 0 0 10 – – LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky fell at No. 8 Louisville, 44-7, on Saturday afternoon at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The EKU defense stuffed the Louisville run game all afternoon, limiting the Cardinals to just 78 yards on 28 carries (2.8 yards-percarry); however, the Colonels could not contain Louisville quarterback and Heisman candidate Teddy Bridgewater, who finished the day 23-for-32 for 397 yards and four touchdowns. Bridgewater orchestrated scoring drives of 75 and 72 yards in the first quarter alone, giving UofL a quick 14-0 lead. Turnovers, meanwhile, hurt EKU in the first half, as junior quarterback Jared McClain was picked off early in the second quarter and freshman running back #J.J. Jude# coughed up the ball on the Colonels’ very next drive, helping Louisville take a 27-0 lead at halftime. Louisville led 37-0 before EKU got on the board with a 15-yard touchdown pass from McClain to freshman wide receiver Devin Borders with 3:23 remaining in the third quarter. The leaping grab in the corner of the end zone was Borders’ first career score. On Louisville’s next drive, though, Bridgewater found DeVante Parker for a 42-yard touchdown to make it 44-7. The Cardinals ran out the clock from there. EKU out-rushed UofL in the game, compiling 107 yards on the ground. McClain led the way with 61 yards, while the freshman running back committee of Jude, Jared Sanders and Thomas Owens combined for 55 yards. McClain finished with 85 yards and a touchdown through the air.Pryor was 13-for-22 for 148 yards and one touchdown.

EKU entered the contest allowing 66.5 yards rushing per game and had limited No. 8 Louisville to 78 yards a week ago. However, the Chanticleers came out running and amassed 138 yards on the ground on their first two drives. Both teams overcame double-digit deficits in the game. Eastern Kentucky fell behind 14-0 after Coastal’s first two drives ended with touchdown runs by Lorenzo Taliaferro, the first coming from 45 yards out. The Colonel defense briefly righted the ship to allow EKU to score 24 unanswered points. After running for 138 yards on its first two possessions, Coastal Carolina totaled just 35 yards on the ground on the next six possessions. The Colonels got on the board when quarterback Jared McClain found tight end Nathan Watts all alone along the right sideline. Watts bobbled the ball briefly, and then raced to the end zone untouched for a 70-yard scoring pass. Eastern was down 14-10 early in the second quarter when McClain helped give his team its first lead. The junior ran 40 yards up the middle on a busted play early in the drive and then capped it with a seven-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Devin Borders for a 17-14 lead. On Coastal’s ensuing possession, defensive back Christian Albertson picked up a fumble and carried it 28 yards for a score and a 24-14 lead. The Chanticleers turned two Eastern turnovers into 10 points to tie the game and then took a 31-24 halftime lead when Taliaferro scored his third touchdown with 11 seconds left before intermission. Coastal Carolina rolled off 20 unanswered second half points thanks in part to converting 6-of-8 third downs following intermission. The Chanticleers totaled 631 yards of offense, second most in program history. MOREHEAD, Ky. – Running back JJ Jude tallied four touchdowns while wide receiver Devin Borders chipped in with two touchdown catches as Eastern Kentucky earned a 56-24 victory at Morehead State Saturday night. This was the first meeting between the long-time rivals in Morehead since 1993. Jude carried the ball 33 times for 195 yards. He registered three scoring runs in the first half and added a 17-yard touchdown burst in the fourth quarter to make the score 42-24. Meanwhile, Borders hauled in nine catches for 133 yards to go along with the two touchdowns. He is the first Colonel to reach 100 yards receiving this season. The first half was back-and-forth with Eastern taking a 21-14 lead into intermission. The Colonels reached the red zone five times in the first two quarters, but came away empty on two occasions. Morehead State put together a 71-yard scoring drive in the waning minutes of the first half to cut the deficit to seven points. EKU tried to answer with a quick scoring drive of its own, but tossed an interception in the end zone with six seconds left on the clock. The Eagles made the game really interesting at the start of the third quarter by notching a 43-yard field goal on their opening possession to creep within four points at 21-17. However, Eastern Kentucky turned the game around after the field goal. Eastern’s offense scored touchdowns on five of its six possessions in the second half while defense forced two turnovers and blocked a punt. Four different Colonels scored in the second half led by two touchdown receptions from Borders. Running backs Thomas Owens and Jared Sanders also found the end zone. EKU racked up a season-high 606 yards of total offense with 345 yards coming on the ground and 261 through the air. On defense, safety Brandon Stanley led the Colonels with eight tackles in his first game this season.

Austin Peay threatened to put points on the board in the final seconds of the second quarter before defensive lineman Anthony Brown intercepted a pass at the EKU five-yard line to put an end to the drive. Eastern extinguished any doubt of a Governors comeback early in the second half. The Colonels’ first drive started at the APSU 29-yard line as a result of an APSU fumble. Five plays later McClain connected with senior Roman Lawson at the goal line from four yards out to push the advantage to 24-0. Watkins added a second touchdown in the third quarter and Ben De La Cruz capped the scoring with a 79-yard run on a quarterback draw in the fourth.

EKU held Tennessee Tech to -14 rushing yards on its way to a 17-3 halftime lead. Through the end of the third quarter, the Golden Eagles managed just -7 yards on the ground and only six first downs. Still holding that 17-3 advantage entering the final quarter, the Colonels went to the air to get some more breathing room. Facing 3rd-and-8 at Eastern’s own 17-yard line, quarterback Jared McClain found Devin Borders for 33 yards and a big first down to midfield. Six plays later, wide out Jeff Glover found tight end Ike Ariguzo behind the defense on a trick play for a 29-yard touchdown pass. The Golden Eagles finally scored a touchdown a few minutes later with Krys Cates caught a 16-yard touchdown pass. TTU had one more chance to cut into the deficit, but the Eastern defense stepped up again on a 4th-and-1 play at midfield with five minutes left to ice the game. The Colonels took the opening possession of the game and drove 64 yards in 10 plays over 4:44 to go on top, 7-0. McClain completed a 12-yard pass to Glover on third down early to keep the drive alive. The junior quarterback polished off the drive with a 10-yard touchdown run. A 29-yard field goal from Tennessee Tech’s Zach Sharp early in the second quarter got the visitors on the board. McClain’s legs pushed Eastern to a 14-3 lead. This time the Hiram, Ga., native finished off a 12-play, 78-yard drive that took 6:10 off the clock with an eight-yard touchdown run. McClain broke the plain at the right corner just before the Golden Eagle defense caught up to him. An interception by senior linebacker Anthony Brown at the TTU 31yard line late in the first half set up a 26-yard field goal by junior Andrew Lloyd that sent the Colonels to the locker room in front, 17-3. Glover and Borders combined for eight receptions and 132 receiving yards. On defense, Brown posted five stops, a sack, an interception, a pass break-up and two quarterback hurries. Six EKU players tallied a tackle for loss in the win. Tennessee Tech at Eastern Kentucky 0 7 3 10 0 0 7 7 – – CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Four different players scored touchdowns as Eastern Kentucky cruised to a 31-7 victory over host Southeast Missouri Saturday afternoon at Houck Stadium. The Colonels scored the first 24 points of the game and never looked back on the way to their third straight victory. SEMO managed just seven points after scoring at least 33 points in each of its previous two games. Running back JJ Jude highlighted the offensive effort by reaching the 100-yard plateau for the second time this season. Jude finished with 114 yards on the ground and scored the game’s first touchdown, a 28-yard burst up the middle, barely three minutes after kick-off. The Redhawks had a chance to tie the game late in the first quarter, but defensive back Brandon Stanley recovered a fumble at the EKU two-yard line. Eastern Kentucky then scored on its next three possessions to take control of the game. Kicker Andrew Lloyd made the score 10-0 with a 44yard field goal. Following a quick three-and-out by Southeast Missouri, the Colonels struck again three minutes later when quarterback Jared McClain found tight end Ike Ariguzo behind the defense for a 45-yard touchdown strike. Southeast Missouri’s second fumble led to more EKU points. The Colonels lined up for a 42-yard field goal attempt with 3:27 remaining before halftime only to see holder Jordan Berry take the snap and race untouched to the end zone. That play made the score 24-0 at intermission. The Redhawks finally scored late in the third quarter only to see Eastern respond with its final scoring drive. EKU ran the ball seven times out of eight plays on that drive until McClain scored on a one-yard quarterback sneak. Safety Chris Owens posted a team-high eight stops as Eastern Kentucky held its third straight opponent to 10 points or less. The Colonels tallied 10 tackles for loss including two each from linebacker Ichiro Vance and defensive back Kiante Northington.

In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious Beth DeBauche OVC Commissioner history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 14 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three comKyle Schwartz missioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs Asst. Commissioner as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and for Media Relations the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 66 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns, which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them - Eastern Kentucky and Murray State - were from the OVC. #FCS Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU’s 20 FCS playoff appearances are the second for the most all-time (behind only Montana and tied with Appalachian State). A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo and Jimmy Garoppolo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. 2013 OVC Standings Conference W- L Pct. # 4 Eastern Illinois 8- 0 1.000 # 17 Tennessee State 6- 2 .750 # 10/12 Jacksonville St. 5- 3 .625 UT Martin 5- 3 .625 Murray State 4- 4 .500 Eastern Kentucky 4- 4 .500 Tennessee Tech 2- 6 .250 Southeast Missouri 2- 6 .250 Austin Peay 0- 8 .000 Overall W- L Pct. 12- 2 .857 10- 4 .714 11- 4 .733 7- 5 .583 6- 6 .500 6- 6 .500 5- 7 .417 3- 9 .250 0- 12 .000 Ohio Valley Conference Contact Information PF 675 381 528 283 358 321 313 262 90 PA 319 253 354 330 382 305 353 441 476 Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations: Kyle Schwartz E-mail: kschwartz@ovc.org Office: 615-690-6685 Web site: www.ovcsports.com Fax: 615-371-1788 Twitter: @OVCSports OVC All-Time Member List University of Akron Austin Peay State University Belmont University East Tennessee State University Eastern Illinois University Eastern Kentucky University University of Evansville Jacksonville State University University of Louisville Marshall University Middle Tennessee State University Morehead State University Murray State University Samford University Southeast Missouri State University Southern Illinois Univ.

The 2013 season featured an expanded 24-team bracket for the championship as another automatic berth (Pioneer Football League) and three at-large teams were added to the playoff field. More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three), North Dakota State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Four of the last six FCS championship games have produced a first-time champion: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010 and North Dakota State in 2011. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 24 teams. Sixteen teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining eight teams the following week in the round of 16. Eleven conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer Football, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2014 championship. The remaining 13 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 10, 2015 and mark the fifth consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating for approximately 20,000 football spectators. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 43-year history. Entering the 2014 season, Eastern has won 208, lost 48, and tied 1 (.811 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for approximately 80 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. In the summer of 2013, new Daktronics LED video displays and a custom audio system were installed at RKS. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms, media interview room and a training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously. @EKUSports Eastern Kentucky defeated Austin Peay in the inaugural game at then Hanger Field, 29-10, on Oct. 4, 1969.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by seventh-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2014 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17-of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when AllAmerican nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and AllAmerican candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records fell for the 61 EKUSports.com �eku Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a gamewinning field goal. @EKUSports 62 �COLONELS Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 allpurpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the gamewinning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national runner-up trophy. 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 67 EKUSports.com �eku All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC DT/LB Junior Hardin (1974, 75) OT Joe Spadafino (1984, 85) Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C DE Chris Coy (2007, 08) @EKUSports 68 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1965, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 Dale Patton Joe Richard Chris Roberts David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coffey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler FB NG DE K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 �COLONELS All-Conference Players Mike Thomas Leon Brown Jason Combs Chris Guyton James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

The All-Century Football Team is made up of the following positions: running back (2), wide receiver (2), quarterback (1), tight end (1), punter (1), placekicker (1), linebacker (3), defensive back (4), defensive line (4) and offensive line (5). To earn consideration for the All-Century Team, players must have met at least one of the following criteria: first or second team AllOVC honors, enshrinement in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, or All-American honors. Colonel fans helped determine the All-Century Team by casting their votes on-line in late August and early September at www.EKUSports.com. The All-Century logo was designed by former EKU running back Markus Thomas.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Saturday, Oct. 11 with the inductees also honored later that night at the home football game against Eastern Illinois. Including the 2014 induction class, there are 38 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Kevin Greve, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, James Hand, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Bill Hughes, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Tony McCombs, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Joe Spadafino, Chris Sullivan, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included.

The EKU campus is one of the most scenic college campuses in the nation and it features several striking features. From the James E. van Peursem Music Pavilion and the Ravine, to the Chapel of Meditation and the Keen Johnson Building, EKU features some of the most diverse and attractive locales on any college campus anywhere. However strong Eastern Kentucky University’s reputation is for its visual aesthetics, the real character of the University can be found in its students, faculty and staff, and outstanding academic programs. EKU offers more than 160 degree programs and features an excellent 17-1 student-to-faculty ratio. The University serves more than 16,000 students, which represent almost all 120 counties in Kentucky, all 50 states and over 60 countries worldwide. The University, which celebrated its centennial in the spring of 2006, had humble beginnings. EKU’s origins can be traced back to a conflict between the northern and southern branches of Kentucky’s Presbyterian Church. A group of alumni and supporters from the Southern branch lost control of Centre College in Danville and set out to start their own institution of higher learning. From that conflict, Central College was chartered in 1873 and the school opened in September of 1874. Financial problems led to Central College’s consolidation into Centre College in 1901, but Richmond’s place in higher education did not move with Central College. Walters Collegiate Institute offered a preparatory curriculum for college-bound men and served as a transitional institution between Central College and what would become Eastern Kentucky University. In 1906, the Kentucky General Assembly approved a bill that would establish two normal schools in the eastern and western parts of the state in order to prepare teachers to enter the classroom. The eastern school, which was located in Richmond, was called the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, later evolving into the regional institution now known as Eastern Kentucky University. Modern-day EKU now encompasses three branch campuses in Corbin, Danville and Manchester. The University also boasts one of the state’s strongest distance learning programs, giving students from around the world an opportunity to receive an EKU education. EKU is also home to the College of Justice and Safety, which educates students from around the world. As EKU’s Program of Distinction, the College of Justice and Safety is involved in numerous worldwide research projects. It also educates a vast majority of the law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth. The University also boasts 17 championship sports at the NCAA’s Division I level, competing in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Colonels’ history includes several national championships, conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances. However, the best is yet to come as the school’s athletic department is committed to ensuring that EKU student-athletes are given the necessary resources to continue to compete at a national level. All told, Eastern Kentucky University provides a safe and attractive environment in which its students can learn and become productive members of society. The lessons learned at EKU will follow students for a lifetime and the performance of its graduates will, in turn, continue to enhance the already strong regional and national reputation of the University. @EKUSports 4 �COLONELS City of Richmond Richmond is home to many interesting and convenient activities. Whether it’s arts and entertainment, recreation, or shopping and dining out you are looking for, Richmond has it all. With more than 100 buildings in Richmond on the National Register of Historic Places and three areas on the National Register of Historic Districts, it is one of Kentucky’s finest restored 19th Century commercial districts. Arts and entertainment take center-stage with the EKU Center for the Arts. Its grand opening in 2011-12 featured such acts as Wynonna Judd, Peter Frampton, Jerry Seinfeld, Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. With 2,100 seats, the theater is the largest performing arts venue in Central Kentucky — larger than Lexington’s Singletary Center for the Arts at the University of Kentucky and Danville’s Norton Center for the Arts at Centre College. There is never any lack of recreational activities in Richmond. An array of parks and recreational centers across the city offers something for everyone. Lake Reba Recreational Complex includes golf, little league baseball and softball fields, soccer, fishing and a water park which opened in the summer of 2008. If it’s shopping you want, downtown Richmond can accommodate you. Locally owned businesses line the historic streets of downtown Richmond with everything from fine antiquities to exquisite jewelry. There is a wide variety of stores at the brand new Richmond Centre as well. The outdoor mall offers shoppers convenience and style. Dining isn’t hard to find either. Family-owned and major chain restaurants give Richmond a unique variety of menus. Local hot spots include Madison Gardens, which is uniquely Richmond, to restaurants such as Olive Garden, Logan’s Roadhouse, O’Charley’s and Outback Steakhouse. Whatever your pallet craves, Richmond dining offers a variety of tastes made to satisfy. Never far from mainstream, Richmond offers the comforts of simplicity with the convenience of the city. Only 29 miles from Lexington and the Bluegrass Airport, Richmond is easily accessible to all travelers. Interstate 75 is a major artery of both state and national motor transportation. Richmond’s location on I-75 makes it an important factor in making the city a commercial hub. In fact, the ease of travel to and from Richmond makes the city an ideal spot for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Fort Boonesborough State Park is located only 12 miles from EKU’s campus, while Natural Bridge State Park (63 miles) and Cumberland Falls State Park (100 miles) are located nearby. Also within easy driving distance of Richmond are the Kentucky Horse Park, the state capital in Frankfort, Herrington Lake, My Old Kentucky Home at Bardstown, White Hall State Shrine and thoroughbred horse racing at Keeneland. A Brief Richmond History Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in his barn. On July 4, 1798, the site was officially named Richmond in honor of Miller’s birthplace, Richmond, Va. 5 EKUSports.com �eku Colonel Roster Alpha Roster No. 27 79 99 31 84 46 85 18 11 37 40 26 4 89 71 96 78 29 91 94 74 77 6 88 22 51 83 52 75 33 63 7 5 62 73 64 26 8 76 30 44 49 65 58 67 28 45 42 20 47 76 95 70 80 Name Stanley Absanon Aaron Adams Justin Adekoyau (ADD-eh-KOY-ah) Christian Albertson Ike Ariguzo (AIR-uh-GOO-zo) Blake Atzinger Cameron Bailey Charlie Banks Justin Bell Jordan Berry Ryan Bonner Bo Brooks Anthony Brown Joel Brown Damien Campbell David Carter Travon Carter Cejay Ceniza (suh-NEE-zuh) Floyd Coffey Caleb Coulliette (COLL-eht) Dustin Crane Jason Creeden Ben De La Cruz Austin Delpont Matt Denham Dana DePassio Seth Dotson O.J.

EKU is the preseason favorite in the Ohio Valley Conference and two national magazines have picked the Colonels as a top-20 program (Lindy’s – No. 9, AthOhio Valley Conference Titles lon – No. 18).

Austin Peay to the very last play in *selected by head coaches and SIDs the opening round of the playoffs before the Dukes prevailed on a 35-yard field goal, 20-17. Secondly, there is a huge number of returning starters on the roster. Ten offensive starters from 2011 are back as well as seven on the defensive side of the ball. EKU led all OVC teams with 10 preseason all-conference selections, eight of which are seniors. Three Colonels were named preseason All-Americans by The Sports Network – senior offensive tackle Aaron Adams, senior running back Matt Denham and senior offensive tackle Patrick Ford – while Denham was recently named to the Walter Payton Award watch list. Finally, it’s just feels like the time is right for Eastern Kentucky to return to the national scene at the FCS level. Exactly 30 years ago, EKU was the team to beat in the FCS as the Colonels finished the 1982 season 13-0 overall and captured the program’s second national title. Twenty years ago, Eastern was still a national contender and was in the middle of a four-year stretch where it went 30-1 against OVC competition. And 10 years ago, legendary coach Roy Kidd retired from the EKU sidelines with his 315th career victory. Denham, who took over the starting running back role in game five at Eastern Illinois, averaged 184.5 yards rushing per game in his eight starts to earn third team AP All-America honors. He was one of just two FCS players to reach 200 yards rushing in four games. Meanwhile, senior quarterback T.J. Pryor is closing in on numerous EKU passing records. Pryor needs 622 passing yards and 62 completions to become Eastern Kentucky’s career leader in both of those categories. He tossed 18 touchdown passes last year, his most in three years as quarterback, compared to only eight interceptions, his lowest season total. At the wide receiver position, senior Tyrone Goard has established himself as an all-conference performer. Goard totaled 11 touchdown receptions as a junior, which was just one shy of the program single-season record. Fellow senior Cameron Bailey is expected to line up at the other wide out position. He caught a huge 60-yard touchdown reception in the 52-48 comeback win over Jacksonville State last year. The strength of the offense probably lies in the trenches. Four of the five starters from 2011 are returning including the two preseason All-America candidates at tackle – Adams and Ford. Senior O.J. Enabosi is now in his third season at the center position. Junior Justin Meredith, who is one of the more versatile linemen, played left guard last year, but is penciled in at right guard heading into preseason camp. The only open position is left guard where junior college transfer Travon Carter could fill the void. The Defense Even though the offense has been getting the majority of the publicity heading into the season, the defense has plenty of playmakers on its side of the ball under second year coordinator Tony Hatmaker. EKU’s 4-3 defense led the OVC in scoring defense (23.3 ppg) and turnovers forced (31) one year ago. The Offense The Eastern Kentucky offense went through a major change in the middle of the 2011 season under first year coordinator Dane Damron. The offense shifted its approach from a spread scheme to a more traditional pro style attack and the results were impressive. “I think we surprised a lot of teams last year [with the offensive switch},” Hood said. “Teams will be better at defending us this year, but I also think we will be better at running this offense.” @EKUSports Aaron Adams, a Sports Network preseason All-American, is one of four returning offensive linemen for the Colonels. 8 �COLONELS Season Outlook of experience at defensive end and should do just fine anchoring those positions. In the interior, junior David Carter will fill one spot while the other will be contested by redshirt freshman Bryce Krebs, sophomore Caleb Coulliette and Virginia Tech transfer Courtney Prince. “Losing Emory Attig was probably the biggest loss to our football team because of his leadership and consistency,” Hood said. “We need our redshirt freshmen and transfers to rise up and make some plays for us.” The Special Teams Junior punter Jordan Berry truly makes the word ‘special’ stand out in special teams. The 2011 All-OVC punter finished 25th nationally in punting one year ago (41.0 yards per punt) and set an EKU single-season record as a freshman in 2010 (42.9 ypp). He can do a variety of kicks ranging from traditional to rugby and has even practiced punting left-footed. Berry also serves as the holder on field goal attempts. Kicking is an area of concern for EKU headed into the 2012 season. Junior Luke Pray only converted 10-of-20 field goal attempts last year with a long of 49 yards. Numerous players are in the running for kick and punt return duties. Seniors Justin Bell and Cameron Bailey, as well as newcomer Deshaun Sands, took a lot of repetitions during spring practice. Bell nearly returned a punt for a touchdown in the FCS playoffs versus James Madison. The Schedule The 2012 schedule opens with three consecutive non-conference games including the opener at Big Ten opponent Purdue on Sept. 1. Purdue head coach Danny Hope previously served as head coach at Eastern Kentucky (2003-07) where he guided the Colonels to the 2007 OVC championship. Hope graduated from EKU in 1981 and was a part of the Colonels’ 1979 NCAA Division I-AA national championship team. The following week, Eastern opens its home schedule against Morehead State (Sept. 8). The Colonels and Eagles last met on the gridiron in 2008. EKU concludes its non-conference schedule on Sept. 15 in its first-ever meeting against Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers, who have earned trips to the NCAA FCS playoffs in 2006 and 2010, finished 7-4 overall and 3-3 in the Big South this past fall. Family Weekend is set for Sept. 22 when the Colonels open Ohio Valley Conference action against Jacksonville State. Eastern has won four of the last five meetings versus the Gamecocks, including a thrilling 52-48 win at JSU in November. Back-to-back conference road games follow the Jacksonville State tilt before Eastern Kentucky returns to Roy Kidd Stadium on Oct. 13 for its Homecoming game versus Austin Peay. The Governors have not defeated EKU in Richmond since 1977, but did come away with a 23-17 win over the Colonels in Clarksville this past season. On Oct. 20, Eastern Kentucky takes on 2011 OVC co-champion Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, Tenn. The Golden Eagles earned the league’s automatic playoff berth last year thanks to key victories over EKU and Jacksonville State. Two of the Colonels’ final three games are at home featuring OVC foes Eastern Illinois (Oct. 27) and Murray State (Nov. 10). This will mark the 68th consecutive season Eastern Kentucky and Murray State have met on the football field. Both schools are original members of the Ohio Valley Conference which formed in 1948. The two teams have combined to win 29 OVC crowns. Brooklyn Fox will line up as the starting free safety for the third straight year. The three starting linebackers could possibly be the most dynamic group in Richmond since the mid-1990s. Junior Ichiro Vance will line up in the middle for the second straight year. He posted a team season-high 19 tackles in the win over Missouri State last year. Senior Kevin Hamlin, a 2011 All-OVC newcomer selection, will once again cover the weak side. Hamlin was involved in six turnovers in his first season on the squad. He led the OVC in interceptions (four) and also posted two fumble recoveries. Finally, junior Anthony Brown is making the move from defensive lineman to strong side linebacker. Brown tallied 10 sacks in his first two years on the team and finished with a personalbest 13 tackles in the FCS playoff game against James Madison. “Moving Brown is going to do a world of good to the defense,” Hood said. “Our sam linebacker spot is a critical spot in the defense and he showed in the spring that he can lock it down.” Two preseason All-OVC honorees are set to line up in the defensive backfield. Senior Justin Bell has proven to be a game changer at one corner back position. He got his hands on a first quarter interception versus Tennessee State last year and returned it 79 yards for a score. Bell was also credited with the goal-line stop on the final play in the 52-48 win over Jacksonville State. Brooklyn Fox, the team’s third leading tackler in 2011, is scheduled to start at free safety for the third straight year. He recorded three interceptions last season, one of which came at Kansas State. The other two defensive back positions are up for grabs. Sophomore Brandon Stanley is the leading candidate to fill the shoes of two-time All-OVC pick Patrick McClellan at strong safety. Trey Thomas, who saw action in 10 games last year as a true freshman, is the front runner at the other corner back spot. There are a few changes on the defensive line due to the departure of two All-OVC performers – tackle Emory Attig (graduation) and end Anthony Brown (move to linebacker).

In 1963, Eastern Kentucky University President Robert Martin was at a loss as to how he could create a physical “Maroon” to excite the audience. A man of vision and intelligence, Martin began searching for a mascot that would embody the glorious Bluegrass State. He found it in the honorable Kentucky Colonel. The military title of “Colonel” had begun being used as an honorary title in the state by the late 1800s and by 1931 the nowfamous Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels had been formed. The finger-lickin’ Colonel Harlan D. Sanders himself was inducted in 1935. Like Minutemen of Massachusetts and Sooners of Oklahoma, the Kentucky breed of Colonel was a unique symbol of the state and so Martin selected it to accompany the school color as Eastern’s mascot. Further cementing the connection with Eastern was the fact that Centre College’s mascot was already the Colonel and a faction of that school had occupied the Richmond campus before Eastern’s founding.

Refer to www.NCAA.com/fcs for more information. NCAA/7/09/12/DJL 29 EKUSports.com �eku Coaching Staff Much of the credit for Wake Forest’s 2006 league championship fell to the defense. The Demon Deacons allowed just 15.4 ppg to rank second in the ACC and 21st nationally. Against the run, Wake yielded just 105.8 yards per game to rank 21st nationally, the third lowest total in Wake Forest history. Against the pass, the Demon Deacons recorded 22 interceptions, second most in the nation. Hood’s defenders earned All-ACC mention 14 times. That list includes four NFL draft picks – Calvin Pace, Montique Sharpe, Eric King and Josh Gattis. Hood entered the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College, where he worked with the defensive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 interceptions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University. From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State College, the last three of which he served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In 1993, Glenville finished 10-3 and advanced to the NAIA Division I championship game. Also that year, Hood’s defense led the nation in scoring defense (9.2 ppg), passing defense (118.0 ypg), and total defense (223.0 ypg). Hood moved to Ohio University for two years (1999-2000) where he met current Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe. At Ohio, Hood was in charge of the defensive backs. That unit recorded 17 interceptions in 1999, the most in more than a decade. The following year, Ohio ranked 20th nationally in scoring defense (18.9 points per game) as the Bobcat defense was one of only five units in Division I-A that did not allow more than 30 points in a game throughout the entire season. This is Hood’s first head coaching position and he is just the third EKU head football coach in the last 47 years. “Knowing first-hand what Coach Kidd built here, this is one of the best jobs in the country,” Hood said. “I remember when I was here the first time thinking how many guys in the history of athletics are still coaching in a facility named after them. That is rare. It is exciting to be at the helm of this program.” Head Coach • 5th Year at EKU (26-20) Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986  2011 AFCA Regional Coach of the Year  2008 OVC Coach of the Year  2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and head coach Dean Hood has delivered Ohio Valley Conference championships twice in his four years as head coach (2011, 2008). “It doesn’t matter if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU. They can’t play to the best of their athletic ability until they know exactly where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to do on the field.” The Eastern football program has produced seven All-Americans, one OVC Defensive Player of the Year and 19 first team allconference performers in Hood’s four years on the EKU sidelines. This past fall, the Colonels piled up a league-best 10 first team All-OVC selections. Hood, 48, spent seven seasons working at Wake Forest University before taking over the EKU program in January 2008. Under Hood’s direction, the Wake Forest defense was known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, more than two per game. In 2007, Wake Forest led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 35 turnovers forced on its way to going 9-4 and capturing the Meineke Car Care Bowl. “Dean Hood is a wonderful blend of several characteristics we were looking for in a head coach,” EKU Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “He’s a great teacher, excellent recruiter, a person of high character, and someone who has been part of the EKU football heritage.” From 1994-98, Hood spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky under College Football Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd. He served all five years as the secondary coach and the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood’s first stint at EKU, the Colonels captured two Ohio Valley Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs three times. “This was a big deal for me,” Eastern Kentucky University President Dr. Doug Whitlock said. “I have been an Eastern football fan for almost 50 years; so I wanted us to find someone who would fit in with the community, had the kind of values that our football program has traditionally been built upon, and hopefully had been a part of the EKU football tradition. And, yes, we wanted someone who has been and will be a winner. Dean Hood fills all those particulars.” At Wake Forest, Hood and the rest of the Demon Deacons broke every program record imaginable in 2006 and set many other milestones. WFU won the ACC title for the first time since 1970 by shattering the program record with 11 victories. The Demon Deacons earned a berth in a BCS bowl game, taking on Louisville in the FedEx Orange Bowl. @EKUSports Hood’s Coaching Experience Year School 1987-88 Fairmont (W.Va.)

He spent his first two years on staff as the special teams coordinator. The Eastern Kentucky offense changed gears in 2011 from a spread scheme to a power rushing attack. The change brought significant results as running back Matt Denham finished third nationally in rushing (130.8 yards per game). Ten of the 11 Colonel offensive starters from last fall are returning including Denham and senior quarterback T.J. Pryor, who ranks second in the EKU annals with 5,371 career passing yards. “Coach Damron brings positive energy to the field every day,” EKU head coach Dean Hood said. “Offense is his cup of tea. He has been the offensive coordinator or the head coach calling the offensive plays for numerous other teams throughout his career. I’m thrilled that Dane is running the offense.” Damron, a native of Grayson, Ky., began his collegiate coaching career at Eastern Kentucky in 1995. He served two years as a graduate assistant and wide receivers coach under Roy Kidd. Damron earned his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1996. Following a coaching stint at Morehead State, Damron moved to the high school ranks where he coached for nine years. From 200205, he was the head coach of Boyd County where he helped the Lions advance to the second round of the KHSAA playoffs three straight years. Before returning to EKU in 2009, Damron served three years as Kentucky Christian University’s head football coach, which culminated with the school’s first-ever varsity football season in 2008. Damron played collegiate football at Georgetown College from 1990-94. The quarterback was a two-time NAIA All-American and led the Tigers to the 1991 NAIA national championship. Damron and his wife Delisha have two children – Hanna (12) and Derek (eight). Garry Fisher joined the EKU coaching staff three years ago. He will once again serve as the linebackers coach in 2012. The linebacker corps could be one of the most dynamic on the field this year for the Colonels. Returning to the unit is first team All-OVC pick Ichiro Vance as well as senior Kevin Hamlin. Joining the group will be Anthony Brown, who earned first team all-league honors last year as a defensive end. Fisher, a native of Columbus, Ohio, spent the 2008 season as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State. “We’re certainly very excited to have Garry on staff,” Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood said. “He came highly recommended and with his extensive defensive background, especially at the linebacker position, this seemed like the perfect fit for us.” Fisher was a four-year letterwinner at Bowling Green (1998-01) as an outside linebacker before transitioning into the Falcons coaching ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an offensive assistant for the 2004 Mountain West Conference and 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions. At both of his first two coaching jobs, Fisher served under current Florida head coach Urban Meyer. Following a one-year stint at Heidelberg College (2005) as the special teams coordinator, Fisher landed at Shenandoah University for two years (2006-07) as the defensive coordinator. Fisher graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2002 with a degree in sociology. He then earned his master’s degree in exercise and sport science from the University of Utah in 2006.

The Kentucky native began his coaching career in 1992 at Union (Ky.) College after playing four years as an outside linebacker for the Bulldogs. Hatmaker was a four-year starter at Union and twice earned all-district honors. In addition to playing football, he was the starting catcher for the baseball team and helped the Bulldogs win their first championship since 1976. Hatmaker and his wife, Laura, have two sons – Abe (five) and Ty (three). Defensive Coordinator • 5th Year at EKU Tony Hatmaker Alma Mater: Union College, 1993 Tony Hatmaker was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2011 following three years as the Colonel defensive backs coach. EKU returns seven of 11 defensive starters this fall from a unit that ranked first in the OVC in scoring defense (23.3 ppg) and turnovers forced (31) one year ago. Hatmaker, who will retain his duties as defensive backs coach in 2012, has helped produce eight All-OVC defensive backs in his time at EKU including three-time all-league selection Jeremy Caldwell, who signed a free agent deal with the St. Louis Rams in April. The Colonels returned two interceptions for touchdowns last fall. “Tony is a tireless worker who pays attention to detail and coaches with a lot of energy and passion,” head coach Dean Hood said. “We are excited about him being a part of our staff.” Hatmaker’s résumé includes 20 years of collegiate coaching experience. From 2005-06, he served as the assistant head football coach at Southeastern Louisiana. Hatmaker coached the linebackers, offensive line, snappers, punter and kickers as well as served as the NFL liaison in his two years with the Lions.

A 2006 summa cum laude graduate of Central College, Hodges earned his bachelor of arts degree in economics. He completed his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in December 2007. Hodges married the former Courtnee Simmons of Louisville in the summer of 2012. Tight Ends Coach • 7th Year at EKU Ben Hodges Alma Mater: Central College (Iowa), 2006 Ben Hodges, who is in his seventh year on the Colonel coaching staff, was promoted to tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2011. “I think Ben has a very bright future in the business,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He studies the game and wants to be a good football coach.” Eastern Kentucky’s tight ends played a more prominent role in the power rushing attack in 2011. Matt Lengel ranked third on the team in receptions while Nathan Watts and Paul Henry each provided valuable depth at the position. As the wide receivers coach from 2008-10, Hodges helped two Colonels earn all-conference accolades including Orlandus Harris in 2010 who posted the most receiving yards (940) by an EKU player in five years. In his first two years on staff as an offensive assistant, Hodges worked with the tight ends and also served as the team video coordinator.

He also serves as the team’s NFL liaison. The 2012 offensive line has the potential to be one of the best units at EKU in recent memory. Four of the five starters from 2011 return including three first team All-OVC honorees – right tackle Aaron Adams, center O.J. Enabosi and left tackle Patrick Ford. “Carson came very highly recommended by a variety of people who have seen him coach several positions,” Eastern head football coach Dean Hood said. “He has been on both sides of the ball as well as special teams. Carson is a great addition to our staff.” In his first season at Eastern, Jeffers served as the special teams coordinator and the tight ends coach. Jeffers has also acted as the director of operations in his time at EKU. Jeffers has worked at five colleges throughout the South before arriving at EKU. For three years, Jeffers served on the coaching staff at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss. The 2006 Wolfpack captured the Mississippi Junior College South Division title and went on to defeat Georgia Military College in the Golden Isle Bowl. In 2007, Jeffers was promoted from offensive line coach to co-offensive coordinator. Jeffers was also the offensive coordinator at the University of Charleston (W.Va.) (2003), where he worked with former Eastern Kentucky offensive coordinator Mike Springston, and Cumberland University (1998). For three-and-a-half years, Jeffers was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of the South (1999-02). He began his collegiate coaching career in 1995 at his alma mater, Concord College. During his football career, Jeffers was honored as an all-conference player and a Dean’s List student. He proceeded to earn his master’s degree in education from Cumberland University in 2000. Jeffers is married to the former Lauren Newton of Ripley, W.Va. The couple has two children – Kaden (four) and Chloe (infant). Former Colonel Jake Johnson is in his ninth season on the Eastern Kentucky coaching staff and eighth as the team’s defensive line coach. “Jake is one of the veterans on our staff and truly epitomizes ‘EKU Pride’,” head coach Dean Hood said. “Players enjoy being around him and work hard for him.” Johnson has helped 12 defensive linemen earn All-OVC honors since 2005 including two players from a year ago – Emory Attig and Anthony Brown. The 2012 defensive line will have a new look as Attig has graduated and Brown has moved to outside linebacker. Senior Robert Knowles and junior Shawn Shupperd, who combined for 9.5 sacks last year, give the defensive line some much-needed experience. After graduating from Eastern in 2002 with a bachelor of arts degree in geography with an emphasis in global studies, Johnson spent a year at Wingate University as an assistant coach. His duties there included serving as the Bulldogs’ full-time tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach, while also aiding in player recruitment and game-day planning. Johnson then returned to Eastern Kentucky in 2004 as a graduate assistant coach. A three-year starting offensive lineman during his collegiate career, Johnson garnered All-Ohio Valley Conference accolades at center in 2001. That same year, Johnson served as the Colonels’ offensive team captain and was named the squad’s offensive lineman of the year. Johnson earned four letters from 1997-2001 and was a freshman on the 1997 Colonel team which captured an OVC championship. He found success on and off the field at EKU, earning two spots on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and five Colonel Scholar awards. Johnson married the former Kate Lyon, a four-year volleyball letterwinner at Eastern who was named team co-MVP in 2000, in the summer of 2007.

There are plenty of playmakers at Koester’s disposal for 2012 including senior Tyrone Goard, who earned second team All-OVC honors last fall after leading the conference with 11 touchdown receptions. Koester will also have the luxury of working with two other key contributors in senior Cameron Bailey and junior Justin Williams. “Klay is an extremely hard worker, knowledgeable in his specific area and truly cares about the players,” head coach Dean Hood said. Before returning to Eastern Kentucky, Koester served as the wide receivers coach at McMurry University in 2009 under head coach Hal Mumme. Under Koester’s guidance, four wide receivers posted at least 30 catches while two players earned all-conference honors. Koester also worked with the special teams unit as kick-off return coordinator. Koester, an EKU graduate, began his coaching career as a student assistant at Eastern from 2005-07. He then moved into a graduate assistant role with the wide receivers and quarterbacks in 2007 and 2008 where he helped the Colonels win back-to-back OVC championships. A native of Canton, Ga., Koester was an all-county and AllMetro City All-Star during his high school playing days. Injuries limited Koester’s playing time with the Eastern Kentucky football squad. Koester holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University. Koester is married to the former Angie Kuntz of Danville, Ill. If anybody ever fit the description “life-long Colonel,” it’s John Revere. He played for the Colonels from 1972-75 before returning to his alma mater as a member of the coaching staff 16 years ago. “John Revere, by far, has recruited more people in our twodeep to this program than any other coach,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He is a knowledgeable person that can and has coached several different positions on the field.” This will be the eighth consecutive year that Revere will be in charge of the running backs, a position which features a potential All-American candidate. Senior Matt Denham burst onto the scene midway through the 2011 season and finished third nationally in rushing yards per game (130.8). Denham rushed for at least 100 yards in the final eight games including a personal-high 226 yards against Tennessee State. Newcomer Deshaun Sands and junior Zavier Foster, who switched positions in the spring, give the Colonels two quality reserves at running back. Meanwhile, Jeremy James returns to serve as the fullback. Besides his coaching duties, Revere serves as the football team’s liaison for housing and its community service director. Prior to returning to Eastern, Revere was an assistant coach at LaGrange (Ga.) High School from 1982 to 1996. There he coached six players that went on to NFL careers including Walt Harris (San Francisco 49ers), Tyrone Poole (Oakland Raiders), Quientin McCord (Atlanta Falcons), John Johnson (San Francisco 49ers), Tony Stargell (New York Jets) and Marty Carter (Detroit Lions). Revere has also had a hand in developing several professional players while coaching at Eastern Kentucky. Alex Bannister, a wide receiver with the Super Bowl XL participant Seattle Seahawks, learned under Revere. Dialleo Burks, who also played for Revere at LaGrange High School, went on to play for the Dallas Desperados in the Arena League, while Corey Crume went on to play for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League. On the recruiting front, Revere’s tireless work along with his countless high school contacts have helped land numerous successful student-athletes at Eastern. Among Revere’s standout recruits are Antwaun Molden, a third round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2008 draft, Sean Dumford, a 2008 free agent signee with the Baltimore Ravens, and Jeremy Caldwell, a 2012 free agent signee with the St. Louis Rams. Some of his other former recruits include Larry Turner, a seventh round selection of the St. Louis Rams in the 2004 draft, Terry Ennis, who inked a contract with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL and former Colonel linebacker Justen Rivers, the 2004 OVC Defensive Player of the Year. Revere was a standout during his collegiate playing career, starting at flanker for four seasons under legendary EKU head coach Roy Kidd. During those four years, he hauled in 95 passes for 1,501 yards and 13 scores. He also rushed 53 times for 419 yards and two touchdowns. A dangerous punt and kick-off return man, Revere tallied 459 career yards on 65 punt returns while racking up 1,212 yards and a touchdown on 59 kick-off returns.

The Colonels almost earned a win over a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team for the first time since 1985. Kansas State fumbled the ball on its first possession, allowing Eastern to take over at the K-State 24-yard line. The Colonels settled for a field goal try, but missed the 42-yard attempt wide right. Later in the first quarter, the Wildcats muffed a punt which was then recovered by sophomore Myer Nolan at the Kansas State 35-yard line. However, Eastern gave the ball back to the home team with an interception on 3rd-and-goal. Kansas State struggled the entire first half to give the home crowd a reason to cheer. The Wildcats’ lone opportunity to score before halftime was thwarted when the EKU defense stopped K-State on fourth down at the visiting team’s 23-yard line. Eastern Kentucky finally put some points on the board late in the third quarter. A forced fumble at the Kansas State 19-yard line was scooped up by senior Patrick McClellan and returned to the one-yard line. Two plays later, McClain found the end zone with a quarterback keeper through the right side. The host Wildcats responded early in the fourth quarter with a 36-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3. EKU moved the ball to midfield on its ensuing possession, but was forced to punt. K-State took over at its own 14-yard line on the decisive drive. Quarterback Collin Klein rushed for 36 yards on the 11-play drive and also converted two third downs to keep the chains moving. Following a time-out at the Eastern 33-yard line with 1:46 left, Klein found a streaking Chris Harper down the right sidelines for the winning touchdown. The Colonels had one final possession, but threw an interception near the 50-yard line. Sophomore Shawn Shupperd and junior Robert Knowles joined McClellan and Nolan with fumble recoveries. Meanwhile, junior Brooklyn Fox led all players with 11 tackles and an interception. McClain, who was starting in place of the injured T.J. Pryor, finished 9-of-26 for 119 yards. The Colonel running game was bottled up for just 10 total yards. Kansas State ran for 114 of its 175 yards following halftime. Klein totaled 78 rushing yards on 25 carries while John Hubert added 91 yards. Eastern Kentucky at Kansas State 0 0 0 0 7 0 0 10 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – With Eastern Kentucky clinging to a four-point lead and less than four minutes left to play, newcomer Jeremiah Williams scored his second touchdown of the game, but it took a H.B. Banjoman 16-yard run for a first down, after Missouri State cut the lead to four again, to seal a 28-24 victory for the Colonels in their 2011 home-opener. EKU built a 14-0 halftime lead but the Bears cut the lead to four points three times in the fourth quarter. Williams powered through a would-be tackler at the one-yard line to polish off a 12-yard touchdown run with 3:55 left in the game. The extra-point gave EKU a 28-17 lead. On its ensuing possession, Missouri State drove 60 yards in 1:54 to draw within four for the third time. Trevor Wooden’s nine-yard touchdown pass capped the drive. Banjoman began Eastern’s final possession with a three-yard run. After MSU used its second timeout, Banjoman ripped off a 16-yard gainer for an EKU first down with 1:12 left on the clock and essentially seal the game. Pryor, who returned to action after missing the first game of the season with a hand injury, capped Eastern Kentucky’s first possession of the game with a 33-yard scoring toss to Chris Moore on 4th-and-2. With 8:09 remaining in the second quarter, Williams gave Eastern a 14-0 lead with a seven-yard scoring run. Eastern controlled the first half, out-gaining Missouri State 276 to 132 and holding the ball three minutes longer. But the third quarter was a different story.

He tossed two touchdown passes, but also tossed a pair of interceptions. Junior Tyrone Goard caught six passes for 65 yards, including one touchdown. EKU got on the board late in the first quarter on Pryor’s 29-yard pass to Goard.

The win was the fifth straight for the Colonels over the Panthers. The tone for the game was set on the second play of the game. Junior running back Matt Denham burst through the offensive line for a 64-yard gain. Denham finished with a personal-high 216 yards on 22 carries in his first start of the season. It marked the first time an Eastern Kentucky player rushed for at least 200 yards since C.J. Walker totaled 228 yards against Murray State on Nov. 15, 2008. After netting a field goal on the opening drive, EKU moved 85 yards on five plays for a touchdown on its second possession to take a 10-0 lead. All 85 yards on that drive came on the ground. Two more scoring drives in the second quarter gave Eastern Kentucky a 24-3 lead. A 30-yard pass completion to junior tight end Paul Henry set up EKU’s second touchdown. Junior quarterback T.J. Pryor kept EKU’s third touchdown drive alive with a 16-yard completion to sophomore Justin Williams on a 3rd-and-5. The Colonels continued to pour on the offense in the second half, recording touchdowns on their first three possessions. Senior running back H.B. Banjoman tallied two of those touchdowns with a 31-yard run and one-yard plunge. Defensively, Eastern Kentucky held Eastern Illinois to only 24 yards rushing on 21 carries. The Colonels also limited EIU to just 2-of-10 (20 percent) on third down conversions. Senior linebacker Tyson Patrick registered a team-high eight tackles and was involved in a sack. Eastern Kentucky at Eastern Illinois 10 3 17 7 14 6 7 0 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky forced six turnovers and churned out 244 rushing yards in a 41-17 victory over Southeast Missouri Saturday at Roy Kidd Stadium. Southeast entered the game having committed only four turnovers all season. Junior running back Matt Denham accounted for 142 of Eastern’s yards on the ground on 23 carries and scored twice. He became the first Colonel since 2007 to rush for 100-plus yards in back-to-back games. A 40-yard Colonel field goal with 1:18 left in the first quarter broke a scoreless tie. A 28-yard punt by Southeast on its next possession gave EKU the ball near midfield again. It appeared Eastern would have to settle for another field goal after T.J. Pryor’s pass on 3rd-and-4 deep in SEMO territory fell incomplete. However, the Redhawks were called for defensive holding, giving the Colonels a first down at the two-yard line. Denham carried up the middle to finish off the drive and EKU led 10-0 early in the second quarter. Eastern Kentucky then took advantage of two straight fumbles by SEMO on kickoff returns to put together a 20-0 lead with 7:42 remaining before halftime. The Redhawks finally seemed to gain some momentum late in the first half. Scheible rebounded from an interception and converted an 82-yard pass from his own five-yard line. Three plays later SEMO was on the board after a three-yard quarterback keeper with 1:35 left in the half. The Redhawks were on their way to closing the gap to three points early in the third quarter as they drove to the EKU 13-yard line. However, an interception by Patrick McClellan at the eight put an end to the drive and the Southeast Missouri rally. SEMO was still within 10, 27-17, when Denham polished off a 13-play, 76-yard scoring drive with a four-yard touchdown run with 6:04 remaining. On the first play of Southeast Missouri’s next possession, junior Kevin Hamlin ran an interception back 39 yards for another EKU touchdown. 48 16 EKU 3, EIU 0 – Luke Pray 20-yard field goal (12:33, 1st) EKU 10, EIU 0 – Matt Denham 1-yard run (8:35, 1st) EKU 10, EIU 3 – Cameron Berra 23-yard field goal (3:19, 1st) EKU 17, EIU 3 – H.B.

EKU junior running back Matt Denham finished with a career-high 226 yards on 35 carries and two touchdowns. Tennessee State had averaged 48.5 points in its previous two games before being held to a season-low 22 points. After the Tigers drew first blood with a field goal early in the first quarter, junior defensive back Justin Bell got the Colonels on the board when he picked off a fourth down pass at the EKU 21-yard line and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown. With Eastern leading 7-6 late in the first half, junior Brooklyn Fox returned a fumble 22 yards to the TSU 15 to set the offense up with a short field. On 3rd-and-14 from the 19-yard line, junior quarterback T.J. Pryor connected with junior wide receiver Tyrone Goard in the back right corner of the end zone. Goard kept one foot in bounds and the extra-point gave EKU a 14-6 lead at the break. Late in the third quarter, the Colonel defense did it again. This time junior linebacker Kevin Hamlin intercepted a pass at the 45-yard line and returned it 32 yards to the TSU 13. Senior H.B. Banjoman followed Denham’s 10-yard run with a one-yard touchdown plunge. Eastern failed on the two-point conversion, but led 27-13. A Tiger field goal late in the third quarter and an 89-yard touchdown pass from Jeremy Perry to Calvin McNairl in the fourth cut the deficit to 27-22 with 7:56 left to play.

Tennessee State at Eastern Kentucky 3 7 3 7 10 13 6 6 – – MURRAY, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky held off a furious fourth quarter rally by host Murray State and escaped with a 34-33 win Saturday afternoon at Stewart Stadium. The Colonels have now won seven straight meetings over the Racers. EKU scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions in the second half to establish a 34-20 cushion. Junior quarterback T.J. Pryor scored the third touchdown, a one-yard sneak, with 14 minutes left in the game. Murray State quickly responded on its ensuing drive to cut the deficit to 34-27. Racer quarterback Casey Brockman kept the home team alive by finding Ja-Vonta Trotter for an 18-yard touchdown pass on fourth down. After holding the Colonels on downs with eight minutes remaining, Murray State’s offense went right back to work. Running back Mike Harris broke free for a 32-yard scamper to move the Racers into Eastern Kentucky territory. Brockman then hooked up with Trotter on back-toback passes, including a 19-yard touchdown strike, to bring Murray State to within one point, 34-33. However, Brandon Potts missed the point-after attempt wide left allowing EKU to cling to the one-point lead. The Eastern Kentucky offense tried to run out the clock, but had to punt the ball back with 2:22 remaining. Murray State was able to move the ball to midfield before the Colonel defense stiffened. Eastern forced three incompletions from Brockman, one of which came on a 4th-and-6 situation, to secure EKU’s fourth straight OVC victory. Eastern Kentucky was led by junior Matt Denham’s 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Denham has reached 200 yards rushing in three of the last four games. Murray State piled up 530 yards of total offense, the most allowed by the EKU defense this year. Running back Mike Davis tallied a season-high 206 yards on the ground as well as 66 yards receiving.

Junior wide receiver Tyrone Goard caught the game-winning touchdown, a 37-yard reception from junior quarterback T.J. Pryor, with 1:24 remaining. Jacksonville State had one final possession and reached 1st-and-goal at the EKU three-yard line with 17 seconds remaining. However, the Colonels stuffed two running plays to escape with the victory. The Gamecocks managed to build a seemingly comfortable 48-24 lead thanks to numerous Colonel mistakes in the third quarter. The Colonels led at the break, 24-17, only to see JSU turn three Eastern turnovers into 21 points. Eastern Kentucky got the comeback rolling with a 60-yard touchdown pass from Pryor to junior Cameron Bailey. On Jacksonville State’s ensuing possession, the Gamecocks fumbled the ball on an option play and sophomore defensive lineman Anthony Brown returned the football 71 yards for another Eastern touchdown. Now trailing by 10 with 5:23 remaining, 48-38, Eastern Kentucky executed a successful on-sides kick. Four timely plays later, Pryor connected with sophomore Justin Williams for an 18-yard touchdown pass to make the score 48-45 with 4:14 on the clock. From there, Jacksonville State had a chance to run out the clock only to see EKU hold the Gamecocks to a three offensive plays and a punt. Eastern Kentucky took little time to punctuate the rally as Pryor lofted the ball to the right corner of the end zone where Goard leapt above the defense to haul in the 37-yard touchdown pass. Pryor set a program single-game record with five touchdown passes. Eastern Kentucky at #18 Jacksonville State 10 10 14 7 0 17 28 14 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – In a battle for first place in the OVC, visiting Tennessee Tech scored the game-winning touchdown with 6:35 remaining to earn a 28-21 win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon. No. 20 Tennessee Tech (6-3, 5-2 OVC) is now in position to earn its first conference title since 1975. TTU wraps up its regular season next weekend with a home game against Austin Peay. Eastern, which had won five straight entering this game, could not sustain drives the entire game as the Colonels were held to 2-of-13 (15.4 percent) on third-down conversions. EKU recorded just 194 yards of total offense, its second lowest output of the season. With the score tied at 14 coming out of halftime, the Golden Eagles made a pivotal play early in the third quarter. The Colonels were punting with a heavy wind at their backs, but TTU blocked the punt to take possession at the EKU 17-yard line. The Golden Eagles then stuffed the ball in the end zone on a 4th-and-1 play to go ahead, 21-14. Eastern Kentucky capitalized on Tennessee Tech’s third turnover to even the score again at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Junior Matt Denham got the Colonels rolling with a 38-yard rush to the TTU 12-yard line. Two plays later, junior quarterback T.J. Pryor lobbed a perfect pass to junior Tyrone Goard in the right corner of the end zone to make the score 21-all. However, Tennessee Tech responded on the ensuing drive with the game-winning score. The Golden Eagles moved the ball 58 yards on 11 plays while converting a pair of third downs, including a 3rd-and-11. Quarterback Tre Lamb finally scored on a four-yard rush. The Colonels moved the ball back to midfield on their final possession, but were forced to punt following a sack on 3rd-and-10. TTU then converted its 10th third down of the contest to help run out the clock. EKU’s Denham reached 100 yards rushing for the sixth straight game as he finished with a game-high 151 rushing yards. Defensive tackle Emory Attig produced a career game with 12 tackles, one sack and two forced fumbles. Tennessee Tech converted 10-of-19 (52.6 percent) third downs and held the ball for 35:11 in its first win at Eastern since 2000. 52 48 EKU 3, JSU 0 – Luke Pray 32-yard field goal (11:05, 1st) JSU 7, EKU 3 – Washaun Ealey 61-yard run (10:22, 1st) EKU 10, JSU 7 – Tyrone Goard 29-yard pass from T.J.

With the win, the Colonels claimed a share of the 2011 Ohio Valley Conference title. However, Tennessee Tech claimed the OVC automatic berth to the FCS playoffs with a convincing win over Austin Peay. Eastern Kentucky scored on its first three possessions to take a 13-0 lead. UT Martin’s only score in the first half came on a wind-aided 53-yard field goal. The Skyhawks looked ready for another score late in the second quarter until junior linebacker Kevin Hamlin came away with an interception at the EKU seven-yard line. The Skyhawks quickly turned the game around midway through the third quarter when quarterback Derek Carr hit Stephen Shiver for a 62yard touchdown strike. The Colonels then missed numerous chances to pull away from UT Martin. Eastern was stuffed at the UTM one-yard line on 4th-and-goal on the first play of the fourth quarter. Later in the fourth, the Colonels missed on two more field goal attempts including a second blocked field goal with 7:35 remaining. UTM finally took advantage of EKU’s missed opportunities when Carr found a wide open Quentin Sims for a 44-yard touchdown pass with 2:43 left. The Skyhawks missed the PAT which kept the score tied at 16-all. A pivotal UT Martin fumble in the final two minutes gave life back to Eastern Kentucky at the UT Martin 23-yard line. The Colonels would not miss on this chance as the home team found the end zone two plays later. Denham accounted for all 23 yards with a 16-yard rush followed by a seven-yard touchdown scamper around the left end. Eastern’s defense sealed the win with its fourth turnover seconds later thanks to defensive lineman Anthony Brown’s sack and forced fumble. Denham reached 100 yards rushing for the seventh consecutive game as he finished with a career-high 41 carries and 188 yards. UT Martin at Eastern Kentucky 0 10 3 3 7 0 6 10 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – Cameron Starke’s 35-yard field goal as time expired gave James Madison a thrilling 20-17 win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon in the first round of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs at Roy Kidd Stadium. EKU (7-5) was seeking to become the first current Ohio Valley Conference team to notch a playoff victory since Murray State in 1996. EKU led JMU (8-4), 17-7, with 5:55 remaining in the third quarter. However, the Dukes scored 13 unanswered points to finish the game. JMU converted a crucial 4th-and-2 at the EKU 43-yard line with less than two minutes to play to set up Starke’s game-winning kick. Junior Matt Denham led EKU with 125 yards on the ground, the eighth-straight game in which he eclipsed the 100-yard mark. His 66-yard scamper that set up EKU’s only points of the second half was the longest run of his career and EKU’s longest offensive play of the season. JMU had three players rush for more than 70 yards in the game, and the Dukes outgained the Colonels 393-213 overall on the afternoon. James Madison also had a decisive edge in time of possession in the win – 40:30 to 19:30. JMU chewed up over seven minutes of clock to open the second half, but it was all for naught as Starke’s 36-yard field goal attempt went wide right. The Colonels took advantage of the missed field goal, as Denham shed tackles on his way to a 66-yard run to the JMU one-yard line. Banjoman then punched it in from one yard out for his second touchdown of the day to make it 17-7 with 5:55 remaining in the third quarter. The Dukes responded with an 11-play, 5:21 drive to the EKU four-yard line, but the Colonel defense stiffened at the goal line and held JMU to a 21-yard field goal that made it 17-10 with less than a minute to play in the third quarter. After EKU went 3-and-out on its next possession, JMU converted a 26-yard pass play on 3rd-and-13 to set up a 24-yard touchdown run by Anderson that tied the game, 17-17, with 10:01 remaining in the game.

In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which begins competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gives the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious Beth DeBauche OVC Commissioner history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. Kyle Schwartz The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, Asst. Commissioner but seeds for the new league were actually for Media Relations planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 64 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns (including sharing the title in 2011), which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them – Eastern Kentucky and Murray State – were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national @EKUSports championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU’s 20 FCS playoff appearances are the second for the most all-time (behind only Montana). A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. The OVC has had at least one former player named a NFL Pro Bowl selection in four of the past six seasons. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. 2011 OVC Standings Conference W- L Pct. # 21/#19 Tennessee Tech 6- 2 .750 # 24/#21 Eastern Ky. 6- 2 .750 Jacksonville State 6- 2 .750 Murray State 5- 3 .625 Tennessee State 4- 4 .500 UT Martin 4- 4 .500 Southeast Missouri 2- 6 .250 Austin Peay 2- 6 .250 Eastern Illinois 1- 7 .125 Overall W- L Pct. 7- 4 .636 7- 5 .583 7- 4 .636 7- 4 .636 5- 6 .455 5- 6 .455 3- 8 .273 3- 8 .273 2- 9 .182 PF 355 335 324 408 335 381 255 207 255 PA 279 280 295 314 361 306 413 396 345 Ohio Valley Conference Contact Information Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations: Kyle Schwartz E-mail: kschwartz@ovc.org Office: 615-690-6685 Web site: www.ovcsports.com Fax: 615-371-1788 Twitter: @OVCSports OVC All-Time Member List University of Akron Austin Peay State University Belmont University East Tennessee State University Eastern Illinois University Eastern Kentucky University University of Evansville Jacksonville State University University of Louisville Marshall University Middle Tennessee State University Morehead State University Murray State University Samford University Southeast Missouri State University Southern Illinois Univ.

More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. Each of the last four FCS championship games have produced a first-time champion: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009, Eastern Washington in 2010 and North Dakota State in 2011. The FCS playoffs provides for a maximum field of 20 teams. Eight teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining 12 teams the following week in the round of 16. Ten conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, MidEastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2012 championship. The remaining 10 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. This year’s title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on Jan. 5, 2013 and mark the third consecutive year Frisco has hosted the championship contest. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the field. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 43-year history. Entering the 2012 season, Eastern has won 200, lost 45, and tied 1 (.815 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for 87 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. A new full-color video scoreboard was unveiled for the stadium in 1999. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms, media interview room and a modern training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously. @EKUSports Eastern Kentucky defeated Austin Peay in the inaugural game at then Hanger Field, 29-10, on Oct. 4, 1969.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by fifth-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2012 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17-of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when AllAmerican nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and AllAmerican candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records fell for the 59 EKUSports.com �eku Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a gamewinning field goal. @EKUSports 60 �COLONELS Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 allpurpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the gamewinning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national runner-up trophy. 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 65 EKUSports.com �eku All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC DT/LB Junior Hardin (1974, 75) OG Kevin Greve (1979, 80, 81) Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C QB Simon Fuentes (1997) @EKUSports 66 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1964, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 Dale Patton Joe Richard Chris Roberts David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coffey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler FB NG DE K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 �COLONELS All-Conference Players Mike Thomas Leon Brown Jason Combs Chris Guyton James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the Athletic Public Relations office.

The All-Century Football Team was unveiled at a luncheon on Oct. 16, 2009, a day prior to the Homecoming game against UT Martin. The All-Century Football Team is made up of the following positions: running back (2), wide receiver (2), quarterback (1), tight end (1), punter (1), placekicker (1), linebacker (3), defensive back (4), defensive line (4) and offensive line (5). To earn consideration for the All-Century Team, players must have met at least one of the following criteria: first or second team AllOVC honors, enshrinement in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, or All-American honors.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Friday, Oct. 27 with the inductees also honored the next day at the home football game against Eastern Illinois. Including the 2012 induction class, there are 33 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, Alex Dominguez, Kevin Greve, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, Fred Harvey, Ernie House, Chris Isaac, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

The EKU campus is one of the most scenic college campuses in the nation and it features several striking features. From the James E. van Peursem Music Pavilion and the Ravine, to the Chapel of Meditation and the Keen Johnson Building, EKU features some of the most diverse and attractive locales on any college campus anywhere. However strong Eastern Kentucky University’s reputation is for its visual aesthetics, the real character of the University can be found in its students, faculty and staff, and outstanding academic programs. EKU offers more than 160 degree programs and features an excellent 17-1 student-to-faculty ratio. The University serves more than 16,500 students, which represent almost all 120 counties in Kentucky, all 50 states and over 60 countries worldwide. The University, which celebrated its centennial in the spring of 2006, had humble beginnings. EKU’s origins can be traced back to a conflict between the northern and southern branches of Kentucky’s Presbyterian Church. A group of alumni and supporters from the Southern branch lost control of Centre College in Danville and set out to start their own institution of higher learning. From that conflict, Central College was chartered in 1873 and the school opened in September of 1874. Financial problems led to Central College’s consolidation into Centre College in 1901, but Richmond’s place in higher education did not move with Central College. Walters Collegiate Institute offered a preparatory curriculum for college-bound men and served as a transitional institution between Central College and what would become Eastern Kentucky University. In 1906, the Kentucky General Assembly approved a bill that would establish two normal schools in the eastern and western parts of the state in order to prepare teachers to enter the classroom. The eastern school, which was located in Richmond, was called the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, later evolving into the regional institution now known as Eastern Kentucky University. Modern-day EKU now encompasses three branch campuses in Corbin, Danville and Manchester. The University also boasts one of the state’s strongest distance learning programs, giving students from around the world an opportunity to receive an EKU education. EKU is also home to the College of Justice and Safety, which educates students from around the world. As EKU’s Program of Distinction, the College of Justice and Safety is involved in numerous worldwide research projects. It also educates a vast majority of the law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth. The University also boasts 17 championship sports at the NCAA’s Division I level, competing in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Colonels’ history includes several national championships, conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances. However, the best is yet to come as the school’s athletic department is committed to ensuring that EKU student-athletes are given the necessary resources to continue to compete at a national level. All told, Eastern Kentucky University provides a safe and attractive environment in which its students can learn and become productive members of society. The lessons learned at EKU will follow students for a lifetime and the performance of its graduates will, in turn, continue to enhance the already strong regional and national reputation of the University.

Only 29 miles from Lexington and the Bluegrass Airport, Richmond is easily accessible to all travelers. Interstate 75 is a major artery of both state and national motor transportation. Richmond’s location on I-75 makes it an important factor in making the city a commercial hub.

Fort Boonesborough State Park is located only 12 miles from EKU’s campus, while Natural Bridge State Park (63 miles) and Cumberland Falls State Park (100 miles) are located nearby.

A Brief Richmond History Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in his barn. On July 4, 1798, the site was officially named Richmond in honor of Miller’s birthplace, Richmond, Va. --From www.richmond.ky.us 5 EKUSports.com �eku Colonel Roster Alpha Roster No. Name 79 Aaron Adams 89 Danny Adams 31 Christian Albertson 77 Joe Arnason 70 Emory Attig (ADD-ig) 85 Cameron Bailey 27 H.B.

Two of the wins at the end of 2010 came against the 2011 preseason OVC favorites – Jacksonville State and Ohio Valley Conference Titles Murray State. No. Last “It’s certainly better 1. Eastern Kentucky 20 2008 to end the season on 2. Tennessee Tech 9 1975 a four-game winning 3. Murray State 8 2002 streak than a four4. Eastern Illinois 5 2009 game losing streak,” 5. Jacksonville State 2 2004 EKU head coach Dean Tennessee State 2 1999 Hood said. “We do 7. Austin Peay 1 1977 have a little bit of a Southeast Missouri 1 2010 spark so to speak with UT Martin 1 2006 the offseason and are *current members only excited to get next season started.” 2011 OVC Predicted Order of Finish The Colonels have Team Points plenty of experience 123 and talent returning on 1. Jacksonville State (13) 2. Murray State (4) 106 both sides of the ball. 93 Nine of 11 starters are 3. Eastern Kentucky 81 back on offense includ- 4. Southeast Missouri (1) 73 ing junior quarterback 5. Tennessee Tech 64 T.J. Pryor, who was the 6. UT Martin 7. Eastern Illinois 57 2009 OVC Freshman 8. Tennessee State 33 of the Year. Pryor has 18 started 18 games under 9. Austin Peay center the last two sea- *selected by head coaches and SIDs sons and his consistent performance will play a key role in Eastern’s hunt for another league crown. Junior wide receiver Orlandus Harris will provide plenty of help for Pryor in the passing game. Harris, a preseason All-OVC pick, finished second in the league in receiving yards (960) one year ago. The defense is loaded with five preseason all-conference selections – sophomore defensive lineman Anthony Brown, senior defensive lineman Emory Attig, senior linebacker Tyson Patrick, senior defensive back Jeremy Caldwell and senior defensive back Patrick McClellan. “I would say our strength [on defense] will be the secondary which features numerous veteran guys with explosive capabilities,” Hood said. Perhaps the best unit on the team is the punting group. Punter Jordan Berry set a program-record and ranked seventh nationally in FCS in punting average last year at 42.9 yards per punt. Berry was only a redshirt freshman in 2010 and took his snaps from a true freshman long snapper – Danny Adams. Two of the few changes on the team will be new offensive and defensive coordinators. Dane Damron, who had handled special teams for the previous two years, will now be calling plays for the offense. Meanwhile, defensive backs coach Tony Hatmaker was promoted to defensive coordinator in the spring. “Not much is going to change on defense,” Hood said. “The defensive staff and players really flourished in the spring. I think we will play faster and I think we will be simpler [on offense]. I feel good about the direction of the offense under coach Damron’s leadership and good about the quality of personnel on the roster.” Quarterbacks Pryor is unquestionably the top quarterback heading into training camp. As a sophomore, he was the first Eastern Kentucky quarterback to lead the team in rushing (505 yards) since 1963. The Louisville native is also quickly closing in on 4,000 career passing yards. Late in 2010, Pryor threw four touchdown passes and ran for another to help the Colonels defeat Tennessee Tech, 42-29. The biggest question mark at quarterback is the back-up. “That’s been our issue [since I’ve been here],” Hood said. “We haven’t had a back-up.” Sophomore Brendon Gregory, one of the back-ups last season, injured his knee in October and hopes to be back to full health this fall. Eastern has also picked up Victor Perez, a junior college quarterback from California, to help fill the void. Two incoming freshmen – Travis Carlyle and Jared McClain – give EKU some insurance at the position, but coach Hood would like to redshirt both of those players. Running Backs There is plenty of competition at running back heading into preseason camp as five players will take aim at the top spot. After asserting himself as the lead back in 2010, senior Kyle Lumpkin went down with a knee injury in October. Senior H.B. Banjoman did an admirable job carrying the load the rest of the season as he produced a rushing touchdown in five straight games to end the year. Banjoman also rolled to a personal-high 103 yards rushing at Tennessee Tech in November. Besides Lumpkin and Banjoman, junior Matt Denham, redshirt freshman Caleb Watkins and junior college transfer Jeremiah Williams could be in the mix for playing time at running back. “I would like to be able to say this is our guy and let’s ride him until he’s tired,” Hood said. “Denham had a really good spring for us and H.B. brings something to the table with his physicality. Caleb Watkins was a guy we wanted to see, but he was hurt all spring.” Quarterback T.J. Pryor is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the Ohio Valley Conference. 9 EKUSports.com �eku Season Outlook Offensive Linemen The offensive line should look almost identical to the one that Eastern utilized in 2010. This year’s projected line-up features three seniors and two juniors. Three returning starters played in all 11 games last fall – senior left tackle Joe Arnason, junior center O.J. Enabosi and senior right tackle Derek Moore. Junior Patrick Ford, who lined up at right guard as a sophomore, has been moved to left guard. “One guy that should have been in the mix last year, but was held back due to injury after injury was Kevin Brown,” Hood said. “He had a great spring and I look for good things out of him. The rest of those guys are going to be back and better.” Brown, another senior in the group, saw limited action throughout much of 2010 due to a hand injury. By the end of the season, Brown had become a major contributor and even started the November game at Tennessee Tech. Depth is always a concern on any football team’s offensive line. Eastern Kentucky is fortunate to have quality reserves in senior Josh Miller, sophomore Justin Meredith, junior Aaron Adams and junior college transfer Andrew Melton. Matt Lengel and the rest of the tight ends are expected to play a bigger role in the offense in 2011. Defensive Linemen Last year’s defensive line took pride in limiting the opposition to an OVC-best 125.5 yards per game rushing. Senior all-conference tackle Emory Attig is the leader of the unit. Attig has started 22 consecutive games heading into the 2011 season opener and he finished fourth on the squad with 8.5 tackles for loss as a junior. The Colonels have a pair of emerging stand-outs at defensive end in sophomores Anthony Brown and Shawn Shupperd. Brown notched 6.5 sacks as a redshirt freshman, which was second most in the OVC. Shupperd did a little of everything a season ago as he tallied two sacks, two forced fumbles, an interception and a blocked punt. “Both of those players are dynamite on the outside,” Hood said. “Where we will have to step up to ease the pain is at defensive tackle for Andrew Soucy.” Soucy was a three-year starter for EKU and the 2010 OVC Defensive Player of the Year. Besides Attig, looking to fill Soucy’s shoes will be sophomores David Carter and Devin Gainer. Junior Robert Knowles is another important piece on the defensive line. He provides more of a physical presence at defensive end. Junior college transfer Angelo Villarreal gives Eastern another physical body on the outside. Denham averaged a whopping 11.2 yards per carry last fall which included a 41-yard scamper at Louisville that eventually led to an EKU score. Watkins was redshirted in 2010, but may be the running back of the future for the Colonels. Wide Receivers A pair of playmakers headlines the wide receivers unit. “We are not deep at wide receiver, but we are talented,” Hood said. “Orlandus Harris and Tyrone Goard are as good as anyone in our league. Justin Williams has also shown flashes at times.” Harris is one of the top returning wide receivers in the conference. He became the first Colonel in seven years to post 200-yards receiving when he finished with 205 yards and two scores in the win over Jacksonville State. Harris proved it wasn’t a fluke the following week at Tennessee Tech as he piled up 200 more receiving yards. Goard is a match-up problem for defenses due to his 6-5 frame. He can stretch the field as evidenced by his average of 15.8 yards per catch last year. Williams battled injuries on-and-off as a redshirt freshman, but gives the Colonels an athletic and versatile third option at wide out. Senior Chris Moore and junior college transfer Cameron Bailey give the unit a little bit of depth. Linebackers The linebacker position is one of the few on the field that has a lot of turnover for 2011. Gone are two-time All-OVC honoree Jordan Dalrymple and Antonio Fredrick, who finished fifth on the team in tackles as a senior. “The guy who I think will step up based on performance in the spring is Tyrelle Johnson,” Hood said. “Ichiro Vance is going to be much improved. He played a lot for us last year, but there were some growing pains that went along with it. He’s got the motor and mentality to grow into a good leader for our guys.” Vance is expected to fill Dalrymple’s position at middle linebacker. Johnson and Iowa State transfer Kevin Hamlin will compete for Fredrick’s old position at the weak side spot. Senior Tyson Patrick is the lone returning starter in the group. The preseason all-league selection notched 9.5 tackles for loss at strong side linebacker as a junior. His best game came against Jacksonville State when he recorded personal highs in tackles Tight Ends Tight ends did not have much of an impact on the offense one season ago as the entire unit hauled in just five receptions. However, coach Hood believes that is about to change in 2011. “We now have three guys at tight end who I think are as good as anyone in the league,” Hood said. Sophomore Matt Lengel should literally pose a huge problem for opposing defenses. The 6-7 transfer from Northeastern caught four passes in his first year on the EKU squad in 2010. Fellow sophomore Nathan Watts also has a year of experience under his belt to provide some quality depth. Finally, junior Paul Henry moved from defensive line to tight end in the spring. Henry was originally recruited as a tight end only to play offensive and defensive line in his three years on the team. EKUSports.com 10 �COLONELS Season Outlook (nine) and sacks (2.5). There are plenty of quality reserves who could see time in different defensive packages or on special teams. Redshirt freshman Jalan Jones is penciled in as the back-up to Patrick and registered five tackles in the spring game. Sophomore Tyler Horn and junior Nick Vicini both played in all 11 games last year, and continue to improve every season on the team. Defensive Backs Coach Hood tends to have a personal connection with the defensive backs unit because he himself played the position in college and then climbed the coaching ranks as a secondary coach. Three of the four starters from last year are back including corner back Jeremy Caldwell, who was named to the Buck Buchanan Award watch list (top defensive player in FCS) for a second consecutive year. Caldwell has gotten his hands on 13 career interceptions, three of which have been returned for touchdowns. Last year at Louisville, Caldwell returned a third-quarter interception 80 yards for a score. Expected to start at the opposite corner this year is junior Justin Bell, who had to sit out last season. “It’s a shame we lost Justin for the year in 2010 because we could have had two Jeremy Caldwell’s on the field last year,” Hood said. “He is an explosive player just like Jeremy.” Senior Patrick McClellan is slated to start at safety for a third straight season. The 2010 all-league pick not only calls all the plays for the defense, but led the Colonels with 68 tackles and five pass break-ups a season ago. Junior Brooklyn Fox rounds out the starting defensive backs at free safety. A new addition to the group will be Zavier Foster. The sophomore totaled 41 tackles and two sacks as a weak side linebacker last fall, but was moved to safety due to his explosive game. Fellow sophomore Myer Nolan will see valuable time on the outside as well. For a second consecutive year, defensive back Jeremy Caldwell was named to the initial Buck Buchanan Award watch list. former in high school. Competing with Delpont will be sophomore Luke Pray, who made 6-of-7 attempts from 40-plus yards last year at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. The Schedule The 2011 schedule opens with four night contests including the season opener at Big 12 opponent Kansas State on Sept. 3. This will be the first meeting between the two squads. EKU then returns home to face Missouri State (Sept. 10) and Chattanooga (Sept. 17). The Colonels will need to earn a victory in at least one of those two games to help their case for a potential FCS playoff berth. Chattanooga, out of the Southern Conference, is predicted to be a top-25 FCS team by many of the major polls. Eastern begins OVC action with two road games at Austin Peay (Sept. 24) and Eastern Illinois (Oct. 8). The last time the Colonels visited Clarksville, Austin Peay pulled out a 24-20 upset. “The OVC is wide open,” Hood said. “That’s what I noticed when I came back here. There’s parity in the OVC and anybody can beat anybody on any given week. You better be ready to play every single week.” The Colonels face defending league champion Southeast Missouri (Oct. 15) at home before welcoming Tennessee State (Oct. 22) for Homecoming. EKU then faces the OVC preseason favorites – Murray State and Jacksonville State – in back-to-back road games on Oct. 29 and Nov. 5. The regular season concludes with home games against Tennessee Tech (Nov. 12) and UT Martin (Nov. 19). The Colonels are a combined 37-8 versus those two teams in Richmond. For a second consecutive year, the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs will feature 20 teams and begin on Nov. 26 with four first-round games. Ten conferences earn automatic bids to the playoffs – Big Sky, Big South, Colonial, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland. The FCS championship game is slated for Jan. 6 or 7, 2012 in Frisco, Texas. “There’s parity in the OVC and anybody can beat anybody on any given week. You better be ready to play every single week.” – Dean Hood, EKU head coach – Special Teams Coach Hood plans to coordinate special teams this year and has plenty of exciting players to oversee. Punting should be in excellent hands with Berry. Not only did Berry average an OVC-best 42.9 yards per punt last year, he boomed a 75-yard kick at UT Martin. That punt was just three yards shy of the EKU all-time record. Scheduled to handle kick and punt return duties will be Caldwell. He averaged a program single-season record 33.7 yards per kick return as a junior which propelled him to second-team All-America honors. Caldwell also returned a pivotal punt for a touchdown in the season finale win over Austin Peay. “We were really poor at kicking the ball last year,” Hood said. “We have got to improve there. We hope we have helped ourselves there by signing a junior college kicker and we hope that Austin Delpont matures.” The Colonels made only 5-of-12 (41.7 percent) field goal attempts in the 2010 campaign. Three of those misses came in the 10-7 loss at UT Martin. Delpont was redshirted a year ago, but was an all-state per- 11 EKUSports.com �eku Returning Colonels #79 • Offensive Lineman • 6-6 • 290 • Jr. #77 • Offensive Lineman • 6-4 • 281 • Sr. Aaron Adams Joe Arnason Lake Worth, Fla.

In 1963, Eastern Kentucky University President Robert Martin was at a loss as to how he could create a physical “Maroon” to excite the audience. A man of vision and intelligence, Martin began searching for a mascot that would embody the glorious Bluegrass State. He found it in the honorable Kentucky Colonel. The military title of “Colonel” had begun being used as an honorary title in the state by the late 1800s and by 1931 the nowfamous Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels had been formed. The finger-lickin’ Colonel Harlan D. Sanders himself was inducted in 1935. Like Minutemen of Massachusetts and Sooners of Oklahoma, the Kentucky breed of Colonel was a unique symbol of the state and so Martin selected it to accompany the school color as Eastern’s mascot. Further cementing the connection with Eastern was the fact that Centre College’s mascot was already the Colonel and a faction of that school had occupied the Richmond campus before Eastern’s founding.

The Demon Deacons allowed just 15.4 ppg to rank second in the ACC and 21st nationally. Against the run, Wake yielded just 105.8 yards per game to rank 21st nationally, the third lowest total in Wake Forest history. Against the pass, the Demon Deacons recorded 22 interceptions, second most in the nation. Hood’s defenders earned All-ACC mention 14 times. That list includes four NFL draft picks – Calvin Pace, Montique Sharpe, Eric King and Josh Gattis. Hood entered the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College, where he worked with the defensive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 interceptions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University. From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State College, the last three of which he served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In 1993, Glenville finished 10-3 and advanced to the NAIA Division I championship game. Also that year, Hood’s defense led the nation in scoring defense (9.2 ppg), passing defense (118.0 ypg), and total defense (223.0 ypg). Hood moved to Ohio University for two years (1999-2000) where he met current Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe. At Ohio, Hood was in charge of the defensive backs. That unit recorded 17 interceptions in 1999, the most in more than a decade. The following year, Ohio ranked 20th nationally in scoring defense (18.9 points per game) as the Bobcat defense was one of only five units in Division I-A that did not allow more than 30 points in a game throughout the entire season. This is Hood’s first head coaching position and he is just the third EKU head football coach in the last 47 years. “Knowing first-hand what Coach Kidd built here, this is one of the best jobs in the country,” Hood said. “I remember when I was here the first time thinking how many guys in the history of Head Coach • 4th Year at EKU (19-15) Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986 u 2008 OVC Coach of the Year u 2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and in 2008, first year head coach Dean Hood delivered as the Colonels claimed their 20th Ohio Valley Conference title. After finishing second in the OVC standings in each of the last two years, Hood and the rest of the Colonels hope the fall of 2011 ends with another trip to the NCAA FCS playoffs. “It doesn’t matter if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU. They can’t play to the best of their athletic ability until they know exactly where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to do on the field.” The Eastern football program has produced four All-Americans, one OVC Defensive Player of the Year and nine first team all-conference performers in Hood’s three years on the EKU sidelines. Hood, 47, spent seven seasons working at Wake Forest University before taking over the EKU program in January 2008. Under Hood’s direction, the Wake Forest defense was known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, more than two per game. In 2007, Wake Forest led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 35 turnovers forced on its way to going 9-4 and capturing the Meineke Car Care Bowl. “Dean Hood is a wonderful blend of several characteristics we were looking for in a head coach,” EKU Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “He’s a great teacher, excellent recruiter, a person of high character, and someone who has been part of the EKU football heritage.” From 1994-98, Hood spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky under College Football Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd. He served all five years as the secondary coach and the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood’s first stint at EKU, the Colonels captured two Ohio Valley Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs three times. “This was a big deal for me,” Eastern Kentucky University President Dr. Doug Whitlock said. “I have been an Eastern football fan for almost 50 years; so I wanted us to find someone who would fit in with the community, had the kind of values that our football program has traditionally been built upon, and hopefully had been a part of the EKU football tradition. And, yes, we wanted someone who has been and will be a winner. Dean Hood fills all those particulars.” At Wake Forest, Hood and the rest of the Demon Deacons broke every program record imaginable in 2006 and set many other milestones. WFU won the ACC title for the first time since 1970 by shattering the program record with 11 victories. The Demon Deacons earned a berth in a BCS bowl game, taking on Louisville in the FedEx Orange Bowl. EKUSports.com Hood’s Coaching Experience Year School 1987-88 Fairmont (W.Va.)

I am sure our current players, recruits, and fans will be impressed.” Hood was a three-time All-North Coast Athletic Conference selection during his playing days at Ohio Wesleyan University. He was also named a first team All-American defensive back during his senior year and served as team captain his final two seasons.

He went on to earn a master’s in physical education from West Virginia University in 1989. “We are very excited to be back,” Hood said. “My wife is from here and we are happy to have our kids near her family. I am looking forward to the challenge of being Eastern’s head coach. As you progress in this profession, you always think about doing things your own way. This is a chance to implement those thoughts.” Hood is married to the former Crystal Ramsey of Richmond, Ky. The couple has four children – two sons, Trey and Daven, and two daughters, Jada and Cordia. What Others Are Saying About Dean Hood “It doesn’t get any better than Dean Hood. He is not only a great football coach, but just as good a person. He was invaluable to our success at Wake. He not only did a great job with our defense, but more importantly,was a great team member.

He has the ability to get kids to be real good football players on the field and also to be great citizens off the field.

Pryor, who was the 2009 OVC Freshman of the Year, and junior wide receiver Orlandus Harris, who ranked second in the OVC in receiving yards (940) in 2010. “Coach Damron brings positive energy to the field every day,” EKU head coach Dean Hood said. “Offense is his cup of tea. He has been the offensive coordinator or the head coach calling the offensive plays for numerous other teams throughout his career. I’m thrilled that Dane accepted this position.” Damron, a native of Grayson, Ky., began his collegiate coaching career at Eastern Kentucky in 1995. He served two years as a graduate assistant and wide receivers coach under Roy Kidd. Damron earned his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1996. Following a coaching stint at Morehead State, Damron moved to the high school ranks where he coached for nine years. From 200205, he was the head coach of Boyd County where he helped the Lions advance to the second round of the KHSAA playoffs three straight years.

Damron played collegiate football at Georgetown College from 1990-94. The quarterback was a two-time NAIA All-American and led the Tigers to the 1991 NAIA national championship. Damron and his wife Delisha have two children – Hanna (11) and Derek (seven). Garry Fisher joined the EKU coaching staff two years ago. He will serve as the linebackers coach in 2011.

Fisher, a native of Columbus, Ohio, spent the 2008 season as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State. “We’re certainly very excited to have Garry on staff,” Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood said. “He came highly recommended and with his extensive defensive background, especially at the linebacker position, this seemed like the perfect fit for us.” Fisher was a four-year letterwinner at Bowling Green (1998-01) as an outside linebacker before transitioning into the Falcons coaching ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an offensive assistant for the 2004 Mountain West Conference and 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions.

He had spent the previous three years as the wide receivers coach. “I think Ben has a very bright future in the business,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He studies the game and wants to be a good football coach.” Eastern Kentucky’s top two tight ends entering the fall are only sophomores. The EKU tight ends tallied just five receptions in 2010, but figure to be a bigger part of the offense in 2011. As the wide receivers coach, Hodges helped two Colonels earn all-conference accolades including Orlandus Harris last year who posted the most receiving yards (940) by an EKU player in five years. In his first two years on staff as an offensive assistant, Hodges worked with the tight ends and also served as the video coordinator. Hodges came to the Colonels from Central College in Iowa where he served as a student assistant for four seasons. While at Central, he helped the Dutch capture two Iowa Conference championships. In 2005, Central went 9-1 in the regular season to advance to the NCAA Division III playoffs. Hodges spent much of his time at Central breaking down opponent film and putting together scouting reports. He was the scout team coordinator while assisting with the linebackers for three years and the offensive line for a season. A 2006 summa cum laude graduate of Central College, Hodges earned his bachelor of arts degree in economics. He completed his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in December 2007.

Four returning starters give EKU a solid foundation in the trenches. “Carson came very highly recommended by a variety of people who have seen him coach several positions,” Eastern head football coach Dean Hood said. “He has been on both sides of the ball as well as special teams. Carson is a great addition to our staff.” Jeffers has worked at five colleges throughout the South before arriving at EKU. For three years, Jeffers served on the coaching staff at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss. The 2006 Wolfpack captured the Mississippi Junior College South Division title and went on to defeat Georgia Military College in the Golden Isle Bowl. In 2007, Jeffers was promoted from offensive line coach to co-offensive coordinator. Jeffers was also the offensive coordinator at the University of Charleston (W.Va.) (2003), where he worked with former Eastern Kentucky offensive coordinator Mike Springston, and Cumberland University (1998).

Veteran Emory Attig should anchor the line in the middle while youngsters Anthony Brown and Shawn Shupperd showed glimpses of excellence as redshirt freshmen. Brown led the team and ranked second in the OVC in sacks (6.5) one year ago. After graduating from Eastern in 2002 with a bachelor of arts degree in geography with an emphasis in global studies, Johnson spent a year at Wingate University as an assistant coach. His duties there included serving as the Bulldogs’ full-time tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach, while also aiding in player recruitment and game-day planning. Johnson then returned to Eastern Kentucky in 2004 as a graduate assistant coach. A three-year starting offensive lineman during his collegiate career, Johnson garnered All-Ohio Valley Conference accolades at center in 2001. That same year, Johnson served as the Colonels’ offensive team captain and was named the squad’s offensive lineman of the year. Johnson earned four letters from 1997-2001 and was a freshman on the 1997 Colonel team which captured an OVC championship. He found success on and off the field at EKU, earning two spots on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and five Colonel Scholar awards. Johnson married the former Kate Lyon, a four-year volleyball letterwinner at Eastern who was named team co-MVP in 2000, in the summer of 2007. The Johnsons are the proud parents of Sam (one) and Zoey (infant). Klay Koester is in his second stint on the Colonel coaching staff and in his first year as the wide receivers coach. There are plenty of playmakers at Koester’s disposal for 2011 including junior Orlandus Harris, who earned second team AllOVC honors last fall after finishing second in the conference in receiving yards. Koester will also have the luxury of working with two other key contributors in junior Tyrone Goard and sophomore Justin Williams. “Klay is an extremely hard worker, knowledgeable in his specific area and truly cares about the players,” head coach Dean Hood said. Before returning to Eastern Kentucky, Koester served as the wide receivers coach at McMurry University in 2009 under head coach Hal Mumme. Under Koester’s guidance, four wide receivers posted at least 30 catches while two players earned all-conference honors. Koester also worked with the special teams unit as kick-off return coordinator. Koester, an EKU graduate, began his coaching career as a student assistant at Eastern from 2005-07. He then moved into a graduate assistant role with the wide receivers and quarterbacks in 2007 and 2008 where he helped the Colonels win back-to-back OVC championships. A native of Canton, Ga., Koester was an all-county and AllMetro City All-Star during his high school playing days. Injuries limited Koester’s playing time with the Eastern Kentucky football squad. Koester holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University. Koester is married to the former Angie Kuntz of Danville, Ill.

Revere also played baseball while a student at EKU. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from Eastern Kentucky in 1976, Revere went on to earn his master’s degree from Troy State in 1992. Revere is married to the former Brenda Daniel of Dayton, Ohio, and the couple has three children – J.R. (32), Courtney (27) and Ben (23). He also has a daughter, Janeece (34). Revere’s son, Ben, was selected in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft by the Minnesota Twins. Running Backs Coach • 15th Year at EKU John Revere Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1976 If anybody ever fit the description “life-long Colonel,” it’s John Revere. He played for the Colonels from 1972-75 before returning to his alma mater as a member of the coaching staff 15 years ago. “John Revere, by far, has recruited more people in our twodeep to this program than any other coach,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He is a knowledgeable person that can and has coached several different positions on the field.” Over the past decade, Revere has spent time coaching the wide receivers and running backs. This will be the seventh consecutive year he will be in charge of the running backs, a position which is up for grabs this fall. EKU is loaded with three quality, veteran players who will be competing for playing time this fall – seniors H.B. Banjoman and Kyle Lumpkin along with junior Matt Denham. Lumpkin was the starting running back in 2010 before suffering a knee injury midway through the schedule. The trio combined to average almost 5.7 yards per carry a year ago. Besides his coaching duties, Revere serves as a liaison for housing, meals and walk-on players. Prior to returning to Eastern, Revere was an assistant coach at LaGrange (Ga.) High School from 1982 to 1996. There he coached six players that went on to NFL careers including Walt Harris (San Francisco 49ers), Tyrone Poole (Oakland Raiders), Quientin McCord (Atlanta Falcons), John Johnson (San Francisco 49ers), Tony Stargell (New York Jets) and Marty Carter (Detroit Lions). Revere has also had a hand in developing several professional players while coaching at Eastern Kentucky. Alex Bannister, a wide receiver with the Super Bowl XL participant Seattle Seahawks, learned under Revere. Dialleo Burks, who also played for Revere at LaGrange High School, went on to play for the Dallas Desperados in the Arena League, while Corey Crume went on to play for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League. On the recruiting front, Revere’s tireless work along with his countless high school contacts have helped land numerous successful student-athletes at Eastern. Among Revere’s standout recruits are Antwaun Molden, a third round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2008 draft, and Sean Dumford, a 2008 free agent signee with the Baltimore Ravens. Some of his other former recruits include Larry Turner, a seventh round selection of the St. Louis Rams in the 2004 draft, Terry Ennis, who inked a contract with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL and former Colonel linebacker Justen Rivers, the 2004 OVC Defensive Player of the Year. Revere was a standout during his collegiate playing career, starting at flanker for four seasons under legendary EKU head coach Roy Kidd. During those four years, he hauled in 95 passes for 1,501 yards and 13 scores. He also rushed 53 times for 419 yards and two touchdowns. A dangerous punt and kickoff return man, Revere tallied 459 career yards on 65 punt returns while racking up 1,212 yards and a touchdown on 59 kick-off returns. Revere was honored as a first team All-OVC selection during his junior season after earning second team all-league accolades during his sophomore campaign.

Cardinal Stadium (51,247) SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – After a very competitive first half, host Missouri State took control in the second half to earn a 31-9 victory over Eastern Kentucky Friday afternoon. This was the first ever meeting between the two teams. Eastern Kentucky trailed at the half, 17-9, but quickly had a chance to turn things around early in the third quarter. The Colonels forced a three-and-out on Missouri State’s opening possession. The Bears lined up to punt only to see senior Shannon Davis cleanly block the ball, giving EKU possession at the Missouri State 27-yard line. Unfortunately, the Colonels did not capitalize. Eastern couldn’t convert a 3rd-and-2, and then senior Logan O’Connor missed a 38-yard field goal attempt. O’Connor made all three field goal attempts, including a 47-yarder into the wind, in the first half. From there, Missouri State responded with two consecutive touchdown drives to pull away. On Missouri State’s first score, the Bears marched 80 yards on nine plays. Quarterback Cody Kirby capped the drive with a three-yard touchdown run. Three minutes later, Missouri State needed just two plays to score. Starting at the EKU 36-yard line thanks to a 22-yard punt return, Kirby hooked up with Jermaine Saffold for a 28-yard scoring pass. The EKU offense sputtered throughout the second half. The Colonels did not earn a first down in the third quarter and also finished 0-of-7 on third downs in the half. The game was originally scheduled for Thursday night, Sept. 2, but severe weather including tornado warnings forced the game to be moved to Friday afternoon. Eastern Kentucky at Missouri State 3 0 6 17 0 14 0 0 – – LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky outscored Louisville 13-0 in the second half, but the Colonels’ rally fell short as the host Cardinals held on for a 23-13 win at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium on Saturday afternoon. After both teams were held scoreless in the first quarter, Louisville scored all 23 of its points in the second quarter. The Colonels’ second half surge began when junior Jeremy Caldwell jumped a route, intercepted an Adam Froman pass and returned it 80 yards for EKU’s first touchdown of the year with 5:00 remaining in the third quarter. Then, with 6:48 remaining in the game, the Colonels were granted new life when Darius Ashley was called for roughing EKU redshirt freshman punter Jordan Berry. EKU took advantage of its fresh set of downs as sophomore Matt Denham reeled off a 41-yard run around the left end to take the Colonels to the Louisville six-yard line. Redshirt freshman back-up quarterback Brendon Gregory then found junior Kyle Lumpkin in the back of the end zone on 4th-and-1 for a touchdown that made it 23-13 with 2:28 showing on the clock. The Colonels tried a two-point conversion in an attempt to make it a one score game, but the conversion failed. EKU, though, was not done as senior Logan O’Connor recovered his own onsides kick on the ensuing kickoff to give the Colonels one last gasp of breath. On 3rd-and-14, however, Gregory’s pass was intercepted and Louisville promptly took the victory formation. Sophomore T.J. Pryor led EKU with 91 yards though the air, but he was forced to leave the game with an injury early in the third quarter. Gregory threw for 47 yards and a touchdown in Pryor’s stead. Sophomore Orlandus Harris paced all Colonel wide receivers with five receptions and 70 yards while Denham led EKU with 48 yards on the ground. Sophomore Brooklyn Fox, making his first career start, led the Colonels with six tackles and one pass break-up while senior Antonio Frederick recorded a sack and two tackles for loss. 9 31 EKU 3, MSU 0 – Logan O’Connor 34-yard field goal (2:24, 1st) MSU 7, EKU 3 – Cody Kirby 1-yard run (12:21, 2nd) MSU 7, EKU 6 – O’Connor 32-yard field goal (8:09, 2nd) MSU 14, EKU 6 – Chris Douglas 86-yard run (4:37, 2nd) MSU 17, EKU 6 – Jordan Chiles 43-yard field goal (1:21, 2nd) MSU 17, EKU 9 – O’Connor 47-yard field goal (0:00, 2nd) MSU 24, EKU 9 – Kirby 3-yard run (5:39, 3rd) MSU 31, EKU 9 – Jermaine Saffold 28-yard pass from Kirby (2:40, 3rd) First Downs Rushing Yardage Passing Yardage Passes Punting Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards 3rd Dn.

UTC scored on its opening possession to jump out to an early 7-0 lead. On Chattanooga’s second drive, it looked as though junior defensive back Jeremy Caldwell would tally his second interception of the season. However, the deep pass bounced off Caldwell directly to Joel Bradford who raced 80 yards for another UTC touchdown. The Colonels stormed back in the second quarter to cut the deficit to 14-9. Following a safety thanks to senior Yameen Thomas, the EKU offense followed up with a 65-yard touchdown drive. Sophomore T.J. Pryor finished the drive with a six-yard strike to fellow sophomore Tyrone Goard. EKU had a chance to take its first lead of the game on its next possession, but another bad bounce helped out the Mocs. Pryor tried to find sophomore Orlandus Harris on a quick slant only to see the ball ricochet off Harris’ body right to Chattanooga’s J.D. Dothard. Chattanooga took control of the game from that point forward, scoring on its next three touches to take a commanding 35-9 lead. Eastern, though, did not fold. Midway through the fourth quarter, EKU’s special teams stepped up to help the Colonels trim the gap to 35-24. Senior Marcus Williams blocked a Chattanooga punt allowing redshirt freshman Shawn Shupperd to scoop up the loose ball and race 25 yards for Eastern’s second straight score. Unfortunately, the Colonel defense couldn’t hold Chattanooga on its next drive. The Mocs iced the game with a nine-play, 86-yard march to put the game away, 42-24. UTC quarterback B.J. Coleman threw for a career-high 375 yards while Bradford set a Chattanooga program record with 254 yards receiving. For EKU, Harris posted a career-high 10 receptions for 77 yards. Eastern Kentucky at Chattanooga 2 14 7 14 7 7 8 7 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky ran for 286 yards and scored six rushing touchdowns in a 58-7 victory over Kentucky State University Saturday night at Roy Kidd Stadium. The Colonels built a 38-0 halftime lead on the way to earning their first victory of the 2010 season. Sophomore Matt Denham carried the ball just three times, but led EKU with 101 yards on the ground. Denham had two touchdown runs of 62 and 31 yards in the fourth quarter. Junior Kyle Lumpkin ran for 84 yards and scored once. Quarterback Jacob Russell, making his first appearance in an EKU uniform, also scored twice on the ground. Three of Eastern Kentucky’s first four possessions began in Kentucky State territory. The third ended on a one-yard run up the middle by the true freshman quarterback Russell. Russell quarterbacked the team for the entire nine-play, 33-yard drive. He did not attempt a pass, but gained 22 yards on the ground on his first collegiate drive. EKU had a 17-0 lead with a little more than two minutes left in the opening period. The Colonels began their next possession on the right side of the 50 as well. On 3rd-and-8 from the 34, Pryor found sophomore Tyrone Goard all alone down the right sideline as time expired in the first quarter. EKU added two more touchdowns in the second quarter for a 38-0 halftime lead. Junior linebacker Tyson Patrick contributed a 76-yard interception return for a score and Russell added his second career rushing touchdown. The Thorobreds finally got on the board with 4:36 remaining in the third quarter. After the visitors recovered an EKU fumble at the Colonel seven-yard line, Andrew Ramsey carried the ball three times, including a two-yard touchdown run to make it a 45-7 game. Eastern ran the ball 43 times compared to just 10 pass attempts. Pryor was 3-for-8 through the air for 47 yards and tossed a touchdown pass.

Junior Kyle Lumpkin added 73 yards on 15 carries and sophomore Matt Denham ran for 60 yards on five carries. The Colonels got on the board first with 11:27 left in the first quarter. A fumbled punt return gave the EKU offense the ball at the EIU 29-yard line. Pryor capped the four-play drive with a six-yard scoring rush. A 13-play, 80-yard drive midway through the second quarter extended the EKU lead to 14-0. The Colonels kept the ball on the ground for nine of the 13 plays, including the final six. Pryor converted a 4th-and-1 and then finished the drive with a diving touchdown run from two yards out. Eastern Kentucky extended its lead to 21-0 with a little more than two minutes remaining in the first half. Pryor had a pair of long runs on the drive. On 3rd-and-13 from the EIU 30, Pryor found a lane on the right side and went all the way to polish off another 80-yard drive with his third touchdown run. A quick scoring drive right before halftime got the Panthers on the board. After starting at its 35-yard line, three straight pass completions by Jimmy Garoppolo moved the visitors 32 yards to the EKU 33. After picking up four yards on the ground, Garoppolo found Lorence Ricks for 29 yards. The extra-point cut the Colonel lead to 21-7. The Colonels capitalized on an Eastern Illinois turnover with 1:11 left in the third quarter. After EKU recovered a fumble at the 26-yard line, Lumpkin carried for 11 yards.

Eastern Kentucky held a 7-3 lead through much of the game and missed a few chances to extend that lead. The Colonels marched 65 yards on 15 plays on their second possession of the game to take a 7-0 lead. Sophomore quarterback T.J. Pryor capped the time-consuming drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. UTM quickly moved into scoring territory on its ensuing drive thanks to a 42-yard pass from Carr to Ben Everett. However, the Colonels held the Skyhawks at the 12-yard line and conceded a 29-yard field goal. EKU had a chance to extend its lead in the second and third quarter, but missed two field goals. Senior Logan O’Connor’s first attempt was 37 yards, but the ball never got past the line of scrimmage as the Skyhawks blocked the kick. The Colonels then moved the ball all the way to the UT Martin 13-yard line late in the third quarter only to see O’Connor’s 32yard field goal attempt miss wide left. The Skyhawks converted two third down attempts on their game-winning drive, including the 28-yard winning touchdown pass where UTM faced a 3rd-and-7. Eastern had one final opportunity to tie the game, but O’Connor’s 53yard field goal attempt with 2:11 remaining came up just short. Pryor was only 4-of-10 passing for 33 yards. Meanwhile, running back H.B. Banjoman tallied a career-high 70 yards on the ground in his first start of the season. Carr threw for 290 yards for UT Martin, including 205 yards in the second half.

The loss snapped a 12-game winning streak for the visiting Gamecocks. The win was the first for EKU over a topfive FCS team since the No. 2 ranked Colonels beat No. 1 Middle Tennessee State on Oct. 7, 1990, 10-7.

Jacksonville State’s Marques Ivory completed 30-of-49 passes for 444 yards and three touchdowns. The completions, pass attempts and passing yardage are all school records for the Gamecocks. The first half ended with a flurry of scoring as the two teams combined for 21 points in the final four minutes before intermission. The high rate of scoring continued into the third quarter as the two teams combined for 35 more points. A three-yard touchdown run by junior H.B. Banjoman and a 34-yard fumble return for a touchdown by sophomore Robert Knowles in a span of 17 seconds allowed Eastern to build a 35-17 lead. The Gamecocks added seven to their side of the scoreboard but junior Jeremy Caldwell answered with an 86-yard kick-off return for a 42-24 Colonel advantage. JSU scored with 5:21 left in the third to cut the deficit back to 11 points. Pryor put the game away with a two-yard rushing score with 7:09 left in the game. Jacksonville State added a touchdown with just over five minutes to go but would get no closer. EKU junior linebacker Tyson Patrick finished with a career-high nine tackles and 2.5 sacks for the Colonels. Jacksonville State at Eastern Kentucky #2 10 7 7 14 14 21 6 7 – – COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Eastern Kentucky University earned its first road of the season with a 42-29 victory over Tennessee Tech Saturday afternoon. The EKU offense was clicking all afternoon, moving the ball 214 yards on the ground and 279 yards through the air. Sophomore quarterback T.J. Pryor threw for a career-high four touchdowns and ran for a 37-yard score. Meanwhile, sophomore wide receiver Orlandus Harris finished with two touchdown catches and 200 yards receiving for the second consecutive week. Tennessee Tech kept the game close throughout the first three quarters thanks to its rushing attack. The Golden Eagles tallied 281 yards on the ground, the most given up by the EKU defense this year. Jocques Crawford led TTU with 128 yards rushing. Quarterback Cass Barnes, making just his second start of the year, threw for 273 yards and ran for 68 more. Eastern took its first lead of the game following junior H.B. Banjoman’s 34-yard touchdown scamper early in the second quarter to make the score, 14-10. A 39-yard touchdown catch sophomore Tyrone Goard with 4:18 left in the second quarter helped EKU take a 21-20 lead into halftime. After Tennessee Tech missed a field goal on its first possession of the second half, the Colonels quickly marched down the field to extend the cushion to 28-20. Pryor threw for 43 yards on three pass attempts before capping the drive with a 37-yard quarterback keeper to the end zone. The Colonel offense put together a methodical 13-play, 79-yard touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter to stretch the lead to two scores, 35-23. Eastern converted two third downs on the 5:55 drive before Pryor found Goard for a five-yard touchdown pass. EKU finally put the game away when Pryor connected with Harris, who was right in stride, for a 55-yard touchdown bomb with 2:38 left.

The Colonels close out the 2010 season having won their last four games. EKU’s offense – which had gained 915 yards in its previous two games – was plagued by turnovers and dropped passes in the first half and did not find its groove until the second half. A spark finally went off for Eastern when junior Jeremy Caldwell returned a punt 69-yards for a touchdown that gave the Colonels their first lead of the game, 10-3, midway through the third quarter. On the Colonels’ next possession, sophomore quarterback T.J. Pryor orchestrated a drive from midfield that ended with a one-yard touchdown plunge by junior running back H.B. Banjoman just seconds into the fourth quarter and expanded EKU’s lead to 17-3. The Colonels rushed for 200 yards on the day and were led by Banjoman’s 89-yard effort. Caldwell stepped up for the Colonels again on the Govs next possession as he picked off a pass deep in EKU’s territory that halted a dangerous APSU drive. The Govs had one more scoring chance after blocking a punt and recovering at the EKU 23-yard line with 8:58 left in the game. However, the Colonels stuffed the Govs on 4th-and-1 two minutes later and held onto the ball for the last seven minutes of the game. The Colonel defense stifled APSU to just 13 yards passing and 128 yards rushing on the day after surrendering 263 yards on the ground to the Govs in a 24-20 loss last season.

In May 2011 the OVC expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which will begin competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont will give the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. Beth DeBauche OVC Commissioner The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since SIU Edwardsville joined in 2008. SIUE will begin regular season competition this season (2011-12) and be eligible for postseason the same year Belmont joins the league. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division Kyle Schwartz I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Asst. Commissioner Division I conference all-time. for Media Relations The OVC’s proud history past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 63 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships, as they compiled a 15-1 league record over that time period. Only one other Football Championship Subdivision school (UMass) has won more league titles than the Colonels. Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of EKUSports.com them – Eastern Kentucky and Murray State – were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. The OVC has had at least one former player selected to the NFL Pro Bowl in four of the past five seasons. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. 2010 OVC Standings Conference W- L Pct. # 13/#13 SE Missouri 7- 1 .875 # 12/#12 Jacksonville St. 6- 2 .750 Eastern Kentucky 5- 2 .714 Murray State 5- 3 .625 UT Martin 5- 3 .625 Tennessee Tech 4- 4 .500 Eastern Illinois 2- 6 .250 Austin Peay 1- 7 .125 Tennessee State 0- 7 .000 Overall W- L Pct. 9- 3 .750 9- 3 .750 6- 5 .545 6- 5 .545 6- 5 .545 5- 6 .455 2- 9 .182 2- 9 .182 3- 8 .273 Ohio Valley Conference Contact Information PF 323 386 303 397 237 264 197 208 220 PA 258 300 250 334 254 317 322 420 258 Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations: Kyle Schwartz E-mail: kschwartz@ovc.org Office: 615-690-6685 Fax: 615-371-1788 Web site: www.ovcsports.com OVC All-Time Member List University of Akron Austin Peay State University East Tennessee State University Eastern Illinois University Eastern Kentucky University University of Evansville Jacksonville State University University of Louisville Marshall University Middle Tennessee State University Morehead State University Murray State University Samford University Southeast Missouri State University Southern Illinois Univ.

More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and twotime champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. The Football Championship Subdivision playoffs provides for a maximum field of 20 teams. Eight teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining 12 teams the following week in the round of 16. Ten conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2011 championship. The remaining 10 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. The title game will be played at Frisco, Texas on either Jan. 6 or 7, 2012. Nine other sites have hosted the championship including Chattanooga, Tenn., which served as the host for 13 consecutive championship contests from 1997-2009. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Average attendance at football games has been almost 9,000 fans since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the field. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 42-year history. Entering the 2011 season, Eastern has won 196, lost 42, and tied 1 (.822 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for 87 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. A new full-color video scoreboard was unveiled for the stadium in 1999. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the athletics staff, locker rooms, media interview room and a modern training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by fourth-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2011 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17-of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when AllAmerican nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and AllAmerican candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records fell for the 61 EKUSports.com �eku Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a gamewinning field goal. EKUSports.com 62 �COLONELS Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 allpurpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the gamewinning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national runner-up trophy. 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Friday, Nov. 11 with the inductees also honored the next day at the home football game against Tennessee Tech. Including the 2011 induction class, there are 30 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, Fred Harvery, Ernie House, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Roy King, Tim Lester, Aaron Marsh, Frank Nassida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the Athletic Public Relations office.

The EKU campus is one of the most scenic college campuses in the nation and it features several striking features. From the James E. van Peursem Music Pavilion and the Ravine, to the Chapel of Meditation and the Keen Johnson Building, EKU features some of the most diverse and attractive locales on any college campus anywhere. However strong Eastern Kentucky University’s reputation is for its visual aesthetics, the real character of the University can be found in its students, faculty and staff, and outstanding academic programs. EKU offers more than 160 degree programs and features an excellent 17-1 student-to-faculty ratio. The University serves more than 16,200 students, which represent almost all 120 counties in Kentucky, all 50 states and over 60 countries worldwide. The University, which celebrated its centennial in the spring of 2006, had humble beginnings. EKU’s origins can be traced back to a conflict between the northern and southern branches of Kentucky’s Presbyterian Church. A group of alumni and supporters from the Southern branch lost control of Centre College in Danville and set out to start their own institution of higher learning. From that conflict, Central College was chartered in 1873 and the school opened in September of 1874. Financial problems led to Central College’s consolidation into Centre College in 1901, but Richmond’s place in higher education did not move with Central College. Walters Collegiate Institute offered a preparatory curriculum for college-bound men and served as a transitional institution between Central College and what would become Eastern Kentucky University. In 1906, the Kentucky General Assembly approved a bill that would establish two normal schools in the eastern and western parts of the state in order to prepare teachers to enter the classroom. The eastern school, which was located in Richmond, was called the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, later evolving into the regional institution now known as Eastern Kentucky University. Modern-day EKU now encompasses three branch campuses in Corbin, Danville and Manchester. The University also boasts one of the state’s strongest distance learning programs, giving students from around the world an opportunity to receive an EKU education. EKU is also home to the College of Justice and Safety, which educates students from around the world. As EKU’s Program of Distinction, the College of Justice and Safety is involved in numerous worldwide research projects. It also educates a vast majority of the law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth. The University also boosts 17 championship sports at the NCAA’s Division I level, competing in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Colonels’ history includes several national championships, conference titles and NCAA Tournament appearances. However, the best is yet to come as the school’s athletic department is committed to ensuring that EKU student-athletes are given the necessary resources to continue to compete at a national level. All told, Eastern Kentucky University provides a safe and attractive environment in which its students can learn and become productive members of society. The lessons learned at EKU will follow students for a lifetime and the performance of its graduates will, in turn, continue to enhance the already strong regional and national reputation of the University.

Fort Boonesborough State Park is located only 12 miles from EKU’s campus, while Natural Bridge State Park (63 miles) and Cumberland Falls State Park (100 miles) are located nearby.

A Brief Richmond History Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in his barn. On July 4, 1798, the site was officially named Richmond in honor of Miller’s birthplace, Richmond, Va. --From www.richmond.ky.us 5 EKUSports.com �eku Alpha Roster No. 79 79 59 77 70 27 44 37 23 65 38 78 46 14 61 67 43 18 7 98 51 11 36 88 24 73 52 69 63 48 5 20 4 93 91 8 3 87 17 31 9 97 39 58 45 85 42 95 72 71 82 Name Pos.

Southeast Missouri 0 – Hood said. “[The players] came up with *current members only their own team goals for this year and one of the things they said we need to do is play passionate, hard-nosed football. I think we need to be a tougher group than we were a year ago and I think the players realize that.” Eastern is particularly loaded on defense with eight of the 11 starters from 2009 back on the roster, including All-OVC performers Andrew Soucy (defensive tackle), Jordan Dalrymple (linebacker) and Jeremy Caldwell (defensive back). Under Hood, the Colonel defense has been known for forcing turnovers, but was held without a turnover in the final three games of 2009. “We weren’t lucky,” Hood said. “Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. We need to prepare better so when those opportunities do present themselves, we make the play.” On offense, the EKU passing game has the chance to be as explosive as it has ever been. The 2009 OVC Freshman of the Year, quarterback T.J. Pryor, has plenty of targets to work with on the perimeter including senior Shannon Davis, sophomore Orlandus Harris and senior Evan Cromer. A new addition, 6-7 tight end transfer Matt Lengel, will give the Colonels something they were missing last year – a safety valve receiver in the middle of the field. Heading into preseason camp, Coach Hood is most excited about having both the offensive and defensive signal callers returning. “This is the first time since I’ve been here that we’ve had both [our quarterback and safeties] back,” Hood said. “You can do all the preparing you want, but when the ball is kicked off, it’s on those players to get the rest of the team lined up and doing the right things.” completing 19-of-30 passes for 293 yards and two scores in the 3631 win. Pryor went on to become just the sixth Colonel to throw for 2,000 yards in a season (2,153) on the way to finishing third in the OVC in passing yards per game (195.7) and total offense (220.2). Not only can Pryor pass the ball, but he is a threat to run. In nine of the 11 games last season, Pryor tallied at least one rush of 10 yards or more. Backing up Pryor will be redshirt freshman Brendon Gregory. The native of Erlanger, Ky., proved this spring that he could lead the team if need be. Gregory threw for more than 1,300 yards as a junior at Lloyd Memorial High School before injuring his knee as a senior. Two incoming freshmen – Jacob Russell and Alex Conley – will redshirt this year, but are excellent prospects for the future. Running Backs There is a big hole to fill at running back this year. The team’s leading rusher in 2009, C.J. Walker, graduated last December leaving the starting position up for grabs among three or even four players. Junior H.B. Banjoman came out of the spring as the most likely candidate to take over the starting position. Banjoman played in all 11 games as a sophomore while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Against Kentucky on Nov. 7, Banjoman totaled nine carries for 35 yards and a touchdown. In the spring game, Banjoman led all running backs with 65 yards on eight carries. “Banjoman is a big, physical back who can get tough yards for the offense,” Hood said. Senior Aaron Bradley could also be in the mix for playing time. However, Bradley is a question mark as he is still dealing with a knee injury that he suffered in the 2009 spring game. Another player to keep an eye on is junior Kyle Lumpkin, a transfer from the Air Force Academy. Lumpkin ran for 452 yards for Air Force in 2008. Newcomers Patryk Bielawski and Chaz Hope will most likely fill the fullback role in short-yardage situations. Wide Receivers Eastern Kentucky’s wide receiver position is filled with plenty of big-play potential. Seniors Shannon Davis and Evan Cromer along with sophomore Orlandus Harris are all capable of piling up 100-plus yards receiving in a game. Quarterbacks One year ago, the biggest story line heading into preseason camp was the battle at the quarterback position. There is no such debate this fall as sophomore T.J. Pryor is the clear cut quarterback for the foreseeable future. “The best thing about freshmen is that they turn into sophomores,” Hood said. “It wasn’t our intent to play him as much as we did last year, but he was the right guy for the job. We’re excited to see what he’s going to do as a sophomore.” Pryor was utilized in a back-up role to start the 2009 campaign, but was thrust into the starter’s spot in game four at nationallyranked Eastern Illinois. The Louisville, Ky., native responded by Quarterback T.J. Pryor was the OVC Freshman of the Year one season ago. 9 EKUSports.com �eku Season Outlook Kentucky. Enabosi replaced Miller in the line-up, but at the guard spot. However, Enabosi’s natural position is center and he is the frontrunner to earn the spot heading into preseason camp. The two Eastern Arizona junior college transfers – Joe Arnason and Bo Faauaa – will provide quality depth at the guard and tackle positions. Another addition to the line in 2010 will be 6-7 tight end Matt Lengel. The transfer from Northeastern gives the offense a dimension it was lacking following the departure of Stephen Sizemore, who recorded a team-high 48 receptions in 2008. Davis is the deep-play threat and averaged 19.1 yards per reception as a junior. Harris, the team’s top returning wide out, has a world of potential. The sophomore finished with 432 receiving yards last year including 97 yards against Kentucky on Nov. 7. Cromer is a dependable, possession receiver who knows the position and runs excellent routes. Meanwhile, senior Ronnie Letcher, a Western Kentucky transfer, and junior Chris Moore, a converted linebacker, give the receivers a few new faces. “Ronnie [and Chris] give us some physicality at the position,” Hood said. “It seemed like we were missing that last year which hurt our screen game.” Redshirt freshman Justin Williams and sophomore Trey Fairchild should also see playing time at the position. Williams impressed the coaching staff with his play-making abilities on the practice field throughout his redshirt season. Fairchild has battled injuries since his arrival to EKU last year, but when healthy can give the Colonels another solid possession receiver. Defensive Linemen Senior all-conference performer Andrew Soucy heads up the Colonel defensive line. Fellow senior Yameen Thomas and junior Emory Attig are two other starters returning in 2010. “Soucy and Attig are going to be the work-horse guys inside,” Hood said. “We’ve got three young guys – Robert Knowles, David Carter and Devin Gainer – that we also feel good about. One of those guys will have to step up to be the guy in the rotation with Soucy and Attig to give those guys a break.” Soucy led the team and ranked fifth in the OVC with 9.5 tackles for loss as a junior. He had a career game against UT Martin on Oct. 17 with eight tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a blocked PAT. Attig chipped in with 3.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss in 2009. Thomas will be in his second season as a starting defensive end. Joining Thomas on the outside should be sophomore Jasper Williams. Two redshirt freshmen – Anthony Brown and Shawn Shupperd – impressed the coaching staff during the spring and could be valuable contributors this season. Shupperd had an impressive spring game as he posted two sacks. One other addition to the defensive line unit is sophomore Patrick Henry who is transitioning from the offensive line. Henry is set to compete at defensive end. Offensive Linemen There will be a whole new look to the offensive line in 2010 as senior guard Chris Krack is the only starter returning to the unit. The coaching staff was able to address this issue during the recruiting period by adding two former Hofstra linemen and two junior college transfers. “I actually think this could be an area of strength for us and we might even be better than last year on the offensive line,” Hood said. One of the Hofstra transfers, junior Derek Moore, started 23 games in his career for the Pride while earning 2009 All-CAA third team honors. Moore is expected to start at one of the tackle positions. Sophomore Patrick Ford, a hometown product from Richmond and son of former Colonel Gary Ford, is slated to start at the other tackle spot. Ford saw time on the offensive line in 2009. Besides Krack, the other guard position looks to be filled by the other Hofstra transfer, Kevin Brown. The center position will be contested between two returnees – sophomore O.J. Enabosi and junior Josh Miller. Miller started eight games at center one year ago before injuring his knee against Linebackers Seniors Jordan Dalrymple and Antonio Fredrick return to their familiar places of inside linebackers in 2010. “We’ll be better at linebacker than we have been since I’ve been here,” Hood said. Dalrymple, a 2009 All-OVC pick, led the squad and ranked seventh in the OVC with 85 tackles one season ago. A consistent player, Dalrymple totaled at least five tackles in every game as a junior. Fredrick had to sit out the spring season with an injured shoulder, but the hard hitter should be ready to go for preseason camp. A pair of new faces will serve as back-ups at the inside positions. “We also have two redshirt freshmen who I absolutely love – Zavier Foster and Ichiro Chiba,” Hood said. “Both of those players have motors that don’t stop running.” One other face to watch out for is redshirt freshman Tyler Horn. He is a swing player who could play inside or outside linebacker. Making the move from inside backer to the strong side will be junior Tyson Patrick. That move has made the defense much stronger according to Coach Hood. Hood compares the play of Patrick to former Colonel outside linebacker TyJuan Jones. Patrick led all players with eight tackles, including one sack, in the spring game. Sophomore Nick Vicini, who saw action in all 11 games last year, is slated to serve as Patrick’s back-up. Andrew Soucy blocked a kick attempt in five straight games as a junior. EKUSports.com 10 �COLONELS Season Outlook Defensive Backs Coach Hood tends to have a personal connection with the defensive backs unit because he himself played the position in college and then climbed the coaching ranks as a secondary coach. The EKU defense relies on the safeties to call the coverage and schemes for the entire unit. Luckily for the Colonels, both starting safeties from 2009 are back for another season together. Senior Robert Dees and junior Patrick McClellan were two of the steadiest defenders last year. Dees finished with 61 tackles and three pass break-ups. Meanwhile, McClellan chipped in with 64 tackles and three interceptions. Sophomore Brooklyn Fox will be used in the safety rotation this fall, allowing Dees and McClellan a chance to catch their breath. “Brooklyn probably had the best spring of anyone on our whole football team,” Hood said. “With the emergence of Brooklyn at safety, that has allowed us to be comfortable moving Marcus Williams back over to his natural position [of corner back].” Williams will be joined on the outside by all-league performer, junior Jeremy Caldwell. Caldwell tied for fourth in FCS football last year with seven interceptions. He made an immediate impact in the season opener with two interceptions against Indiana. He then sealed the win over Eastern Illinois with a fourth-quarter interception returned for a touchdown. One other player likely to see plenty of quality playing time at corner back will be senior Jaren Gooden. Gooden has started 15 games in his Colonel career while registering four pass break-ups as a junior. Defensive back Jeremy Caldwell was named to the initial Buck Buchanan Award watch list earlier this summer. The Schedule The beginning of the 2010 schedule could be one of the most challenging in recent EKU history. The Colonels open the year with three straight tough road games at Missouri State (Sept. 2), at Louisville (Sept. 11) and at Chattanooga (Sept. 18). This will be the third straight year the Colonels kick off the season on a Thursday night. “I don’t think it matters that those games are on the road, but it matters who we are playing,” Hood said. “I like the fact that we are playing FCS teams from other conferences that will be fighting for playoff positions, especially with the playoffs expanding [to 20 teams] this year. It’s frosting on the cake to play a regional BCS team such as Louisville.” Eastern concludes its non-conference schedule at home on Oct. 2 against Kentucky State. This will be EKU’s latest date for a home opener since 1964. The following week, the Colonels begin OVC action at home against defending league champion Eastern Illinois (Oct. 9). EKU was the only OVC team to defeat the Panthers one year ago. Following two straight road games at UT Martin (Oct. 16) and Southeast Missouri (Oct. 23), Eastern Kentucky returns to Roy Kidd Stadium for three of its last four games. Homecoming is set for Oct. 30 versus traditional rival Murray State (Oct. 30). The Colonels have won eight of the last nine meetings against the Racers with the lone setback coming in the 2004 Homecoming game. On Nov. 6, Eastern hosts Jacksonville State. Since the Gamecocks joined the league in 2003, EKU (44) and JSU (42) have tallied the most victories against OVC opponents. Finally, the Colonels wrap up the regular season at Tennessee Tech (Nov. 13) and back home against Austin Peay (Nov. 20). Eastern Kentucky does not play OVC foe Tennessee State this fall. The NCAA Division I FCS playoffs, which expand from 16 to 20 teams this year, begin on Nov. 27 with four first-round games. There are now 10 conferences that earn automatic bids to the playoffs: Big Sky, Big South, Colonial, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland. The FCS championship game is slated for Jan. 7, 2011 in Frisco, Texas. “I think we need to be a tougher group than we were a year ago and I think the players realize that.” – Dean Hood, EKU head coach – Special Teams The coaching staff is hopeful that senior Logan O’Connor, who handled the punting and various kicking duties the previous two years, will be used only as the placekicker this season. O’Connor struggled at times kicking last fall, but finished strong thanks to making both field goal attempts in the season finale at Jacksonville State. Coach Hood is hopeful that redshirt freshman Jordan Berry, a native of Australia, can help the team in the punter’s role. “[Berry] improved as the spring went along,” Hood said. “He has a powerful leg, but he needs to be more consistent on his punts.” EKU will be searching for a new long snapper in 2010 following the departure of three-year starter Jacob Claycomb. Junior Emory Attig and freshman Chaz Hope spent time long snapping in the spring. Senior Chris Krack has been used as the short snapper before and could be called on to fill that role again. Another option at long snapper could be true freshman Danny Adams. Adams was rated the number one long snapper in the nation last year by www.prokicker.com. The most likely candidates to return kick-offs will be junior Jeremy Caldwell and sophomore Orlandus Harris. Caldwell will probably be utilized as the primary punt returner for the second consecutive season as well. 11 EKUSports.com �eku Returning Colonels #79 • Offensive Lineman • 6-5 • 280 • So. #70 • Defensive Lineman • 6-2 • 294 • Jr. Aaron Adams Emory Attig Lake Worth, Fla.

In 1963, Eastern Kentucky University President Robert Martin was at a loss as to how he could create a physical “Maroon” to excite the audience. A man of vision and intelligence, Martin began searching for a mascot that would embody the glorious Bluegrass State. He found it in the honorable Kentucky Colonel. The military title of “Colonel” had begun being used as an honorary title in the state by the late 1800s and by 1931 the nowfamous Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels had been formed. The finger-lickin’ Colonel Harlan D. Sanders himself was inducted in 1935. Like Minutemen of Massachusetts and Sooners of Oklahoma, the Kentucky breed of Colonel was a unique symbol of the state and so Martin selected it to accompany the school color as Eastern’s mascot. Further cementing the connection with Eastern was the fact that Centre College’s mascot was already the Colonel and a faction of that school had occupied the Richmond campus before Eastern’s founding.

Personal – Born on May 12, 1992. 29 EKUSports.com �eku Coaching Staff Hood’s defenders earned All-ACC mention 14 times. That list includes four NFL draft picks – Calvin Pace, Montique Sharpe, Eric King and Josh Gattis. Hood entered the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College, where he worked with the defensive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 interceptions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University. From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State College, the last three of which he served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In 1993, Glenville finished 10-3 and advanced to the NAIA Division I championship game. Also that year, Hood’s defense led the nation in scoring defense (9.2 ppg), passing defense (118.0 ypg), and total defense (223.0 ypg). Hood moved to Ohio University for two years (1999-2000) where he met current Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe. At Ohio, Hood was in charge of the defensive backs. That unit recorded 17 interceptions in 1999, the most in more than a decade. The following year, Ohio ranked 20th nationally in scoring defense (18.9 points per game) as the Bobcat defense was one of only five units in Division I-A that did not allow more than 30 points in a game throughout the entire season. This is Hood’s first head coaching position and he is just the third EKU head football coach in the last 44 years. “Knowing first-hand what Coach Kidd built here, this is one of the best jobs in the country,” Hood said. “I remember when I was here the first time thinking how many guys in the history of athletics are still coaching in a facility named after them. That is rare. It is exciting to be at the helm of this program.” “Dean is a tremendous role model for our student-athletes,” Sandy said. “He has worked with two of the best people who have ever served as mentors for young men – Roy Kidd and Jim Grobe. I am sure our current players, recruits, and fans will be impressed.” Head Coach • 3rd Year at EKU (13-10) Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986  2008 OVC Coach of the Year  2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and in 2008, first year head coach Dean Hood delivered as the Colonels claimed their 20th Ohio Valley Conference title. Now in his third year at Eastern, Hood and the rest of the Colonels hope the fall of 2010 ends with another trip to the NCAA FCS playoffs. “It doesn’t matter if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU. They can’t play to the best of their athletic ability until they know exactly where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to do on the field.” Hood, 46, took over EKU program in January 2008 after working at Wake Forest University for seven seasons. Under Hood’s direction, the Wake Forest defense was known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, more than two per game. In 2007, Wake Forest led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 35 turnovers forced on its way to going 9-4 and capturing the Meineke Car Care Bowl. “Dean Hood is a wonderful blend of several characteristics we were looking for in a head coach,” EKU Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “He’s a great teacher, excellent recruiter, a person of high character, and someone who has been part of the EKU football heritage.” From 1994-98, Hood spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky under College Football Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd. He served all five years as the secondary coach and the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood’s first stint at EKU, the Colonels captured two Ohio Valley Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs three times. “This was a big deal for me,” Eastern Kentucky University President Dr. Doug Whitlock said. “I have been an Eastern football fan for almost 50 years; so I wanted us to find someone who would fit in with the community, had the kind of values that our football program has traditionally been built upon, and hopefully had been a part of the EKU football tradition. And, yes, we wanted someone who has been and will be a winner. Dean Hood fills all those particulars.” At Wake Forest, Hood and the rest of the Demon Deacons broke every program record imaginable in 2006 and set many other milestones. WFU won the ACC title for the first time since 1970 by shattering the program record with 11 victories. The Demon Deacons earned a berth in a BCS bowl game, taking on Louisville in the FedEx Orange Bowl. Much of the credit for Wake Forest’s 2006 league championship fell to the defense. The Demon Deacons allowed just 15.4 ppg to rank second in the ACC and 21st nationally. Against the run, Wake yielded just 105.8 yards per game to rank 21st nationally, the third lowest total in Wake Forest history. Against the pass, the Demon Deacons recorded 22 interceptions, second most in the nation. EKUSports.com Hood’s Coaching Experience Year School 1987-88 Fairmont (W.Va.)

This is a chance to implement those thoughts.” Hood is married to the former Crystal Ramsey of Richmond, Ky.

Dean is totally unselfish and his whole concern is with the well-being of the players. He has the ability to get kids to be real good football players on the field and also to be great citizens off the field. We’ll miss Dean, but I couldn’t be happier for him.” --Jim Grobe, Head Coach, Wake Forest University “It was an honor to play for Coach Hood. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is an unbelievable coach and a great person. As someone who played for him and who is now a coach, I can tell you how much he cares for and takes care of his players both on and off the field. He is a tireless worker and has a great family. EKU did a great job in hiring Dean Hood, he is a great fit.” --Bob Head, played three years for Coach Hood at EKU, 1994-96, DB “Coach Hood is one of the best defensive minds in the game. He coached me and taught me about life. He is very enthusiastic and works hard. Coach Hood is a family guy who cares about his players and coaches.” --Tony Gibson, Assistant Head Coach/Secondary, University of Michigan “Dean Hood is a good person and a solid football coach. He is really enthusiastic and works very hard at recruiting. I remember when he was here how encouraging he was to the guys on the sideline.” --Roy Kidd, Former Head Coach, Eastern Kentucky University, 1964-2002 31 EKUSports.com �eku Coaching Staff TEs/STs Coach • 2nd Year at EKU Linebackers Coach • 2nd Year at EKU Dane Damron Garry Fisher Alma Mater: Georgetown College, 1994 Alma Mater: Bowling Green, 2002 Dane Damron rejoined the Eastern Kentucky coaching staff in January. He will serve as the special teams and tight ends coach for a second consecutive year in 2010. Damron most recently served as Kentucky Christian’s head football coach. He spent three years building the program at Kentucky Christian which culminated with the school’s first-ever varsity football season in 2008. “When you are a head coach at the collegiate or high school level, you have to know how to coach a little bit of everything,” Hood said. “Dane has an extensive football background and we’re excited to have him as a part of our staff.” Damron began his collegiate coaching career at Eastern Kentucky in 1995. He served two years as a graduate assistant and wide receivers coach under Roy Kidd. Damron earned his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1996. Following a coaching stint at Morehead State, Damron moved to the high school ranks where he coached for nine years. From 2002-05, he was the head coach of Boyd County where he helped the Lions advance to the second round of the KHSAA playoffs three straight years. Damron played collegiate football at Georgetown College from 1990-94. The quarterback was a two-time NAIA All-American and led the Tigers to the 1991 NAIA national championship. Damron and his wife Delisha have two children – Hanna (10) and Derek (6). Garry Fisher joined the EKU coaching staff one year ago. He will serve as the linebackers coach in 2010. Fisher, a native of Columbus, Ohio, spent the 2008 season as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State. “We’re certainly very excited to have Garry on staff,” Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood said. “He came highly recommended and with his extensive defensive background, especially at the linebacker position, this seemed like the perfect fit for us.” Fisher was a four-year letterwinner at Bowling Green (1998-01) as an outside linebacker before transitioning into the Falcons coaching ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an offensive assistant for the 2004 Mountain West Conference and 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions. At both of his first two coaching jobs, Fisher served under current Florida head coach Urban Meyer. Following a one-year stint at Heidelberg College (2005) as the special teams coordinator, Fisher landed at Shenandoah University for two years (2006-07) as the defensive coordinator. Fisher graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2002 with a degree in sociology. He then earned his master’s degree in exercise and sport science from the University of Utah in 2006.

The secondary should be one of the stronger EKU defensive units in 2010 as three of four starters from 2009 return including all-conference corner back Jeremy Caldwell. The Colonels finished second in the OVC with 14 interceptions last fall. “Tony is a tireless worker who pays attention to detail and coaches with a lot of energy and passion,” head coach Dean Hood said. “We are excited about him being a part of our staff.” Hatmaker’s résumé includes more than 10 years of collegiate coaching experience. From 2005-06, he served as the assistant head football coach at Southeastern Louisiana. Hatmaker coached the linebackers, offensive line, snappers, punter and kickers as well as served as the NFL liaison in his two years with the Lions. Two of the three starting linebackers came away with all-conference honors in 2005. Hatmaker also spent six years on the staff at Southwest Baptist (Mo.) University. He was the defensive coordinator for five of those seasons and helped the Bearcats earn their first winning record in 10 seasons in 2001. Southwest Baptist then recorded a program-record 18 interceptions in 2002. While at Southwest Baptist, Hatmaker logged three seasons (1999-01) as the head softball coach as well. The Kentucky native began his coaching career in 1992 at Union (Ky.) College after playing four years as an outside linebacker for the Bulldogs. Hatmaker was a four-year starter at Union and twice earned all-district honors. In addition to playing football, he was the starting catcher for the baseball team and helped the Bulldogs win their first championship since 1976. Hatmaker and his wife, Laura, have two sons – Abe (3) and Tyler (1). Ben Hodges is in his fifth year on the Colonel coaching staff and third year coaching the wide receivers. “We felt like Ben was the best available person around to coach our wide receivers and he hasn’t done anything at all to disappoint,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He studies the game and wants to be a good football coach. I think he has a very bright future in the business.” Hodges will have the luxury of working with one of the deepest units on the team this fall. Veterans Ryan Aldrin, Evan Cromer and Shannon Davis bring plenty of experience to the outside. Sophomore Orlandus Harris burst onto the scene last year to post 31 receptions, third most on the team. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman Justin Williams could prove to be another young impact player in 2010. In his first two years on staff as an offensive assistant, Hodges worked with the tight ends and also served as the video coordinator. Hodges came to the Colonels from Central College in Iowa where he served as a student assistant for four seasons. While at Central, he helped the Dutch capture two Iowa Conference championships. In 2005, Central went 9-1 in the regular season to advance to the NCAA Division III playoffs. Hodges spent much of his time at Central breaking down opponent film and putting together scouting reports. He was the scout team coordinator while assisting with the linebackers for three years and the offensive line for a season. A 2006 summa cum laude graduate of Central College, Hodges earned his bachelor of arts degree in economics. He completed his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in December 2007.

The EKU offensive line will have an entirely new look in 2010 as Jeffers will have to replace three starters from the 2009 line-up. “Carson came very highly recommended by a variety of people who have seen him coach several positions,” Eastern head football coach Dean Hood said. “He has been on both sides of the ball as well as special teams. Carson is a great addition to our staff.” Jeffers has worked at five colleges throughout the South before arriving at EKU. For three years, Jeffers served on the coaching staff at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss. The 2006 Wolfpack captured the Mississippi Junior College South Division title and went on to defeat Georgia Military College in the Golden Isle Bowl. In 2007, Jeffers was promoted from offensive line coach to co-offensive coordinator. Jeffers was also the offensive coordinator at the University of Charleston (W.Va.) (2003), where he worked with Eastern Kentucky offensive coordinator Mike Springston, and Cumberland University (1998). For three-and-a-half years, Jeffers was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of the South (1999-02). He began his collegiate coaching career in 1995 at his alma mater, Concord College. During his football career, Jeffers was honored as an all-conference player and a Dean’s List student. He proceeded to earn his master’s degree in education from Cumberland University in 2000. Jeffers is married to the former Lauren Newton of Ripley, W.Va. The couple has a two-year old son – Kaden Blake Jeffers. Former Colonel Jake Johnson is in his seventh season on the Eastern Kentucky coaching staff and sixth as the team’s defensive line coach. “I’m very impressed with Jake’s command of things at such a young age,” head coach Dean Hood said. “Players enjoy being around him and work hard for him.” Three of the four starters from 2009 are returning to the defensive line this fall including All-OVC standout Andrew Soucy. The senior led the Colonels with 9.5 tackles-for-loss and was second on the team with three sacks one year ago. Soucy also blocked a league-best five kicks during the season. The other two returning starters – senior Yameen Thomas and junior Emory Attig – combined for 13.5 tackles-for-loss in 2009. After graduating from Eastern in 2002 with a bachelor of arts degree in geography with an emphasis in global studies, Johnson spent a year at Wingate University as an assistant coach. His duties there included serving as the Bulldogs’ full-time tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach, while also aiding in player recruitment and game-day planning. Johnson then returned to Eastern Kentucky in 2004 as a graduate assistant coach. A three-year starting offensive lineman during his collegiate career, Johnson garnered All-Ohio Valley Conference accolades at center in 2001. That same year, Johnson served as the Colonels’ offensive team captain and was named the squad’s offensive lineman of the year. Johnson earned four letters from 1997-2001 and was a freshman on the 1997 Colonel team which captured an OVC championship. He found success on and off the field at EKU, earning two spots on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and five Colonel Scholar awards. Johnson married the former Kate Lyon, a four-year volleyball letterwinner at Eastern who was named team co-MVP in 2000, in the summer of 2007. The couple celebrated the birth of their first child, Samuel Lyon Johnson, this past March.

Revere also played baseball while a student at EKU. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from Eastern Kentucky in 1976, Revere went on to earn his master’s degree from Troy State in 1992. Revere is married to the former Brenda Daniel of Dayton, Ohio, and the couple has three children – J.R. (31), Courtney (26) and Ben (22). He also has a daughter, Janeece (33). Revere’s son, Ben, was selected in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft by the Minnesota Twins. Running Backs Coach • 14th Year at EKU John Revere Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1976 If anybody ever fit the description “life-long Colonel,” it’s John Revere. He played for the Colonels from 1972-75 before returning to his alma mater as a member of the coaching staff 14 years ago. “John Revere, by far, has recruited more people in our twodeep to this program than any other coach,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He is a knowledgeable person that can and has coached several different positions on the field.” Over the past decade, Revere has spent time coaching the wide receivers and running backs. This will be the sixth consecutive year he will be in charge of the running backs, a position which could be up for grabs this fall. Eastern’s leading rusher from 2009, C.J. Walker, graduated, leaving the ball handling duties up to numerous players including junior H.B. Banjoman, senior Aaron Bradley and senior Bruce Frieson. Bradley, who missed the entire 2009 season with a knee injury, was expected to compete with Walker for the starting spot last year. Besides his coaching duties, Revere serves as a liaison for housing, meals and walk-on players. Prior to returning to Eastern, Revere was an assistant coach at LaGrange (Ga.) High School from 1982 to 1996. There he coached six players that went on to NFL careers including Walt Harris (San Francisco 49ers), Tyrone Poole (Oakland Raiders), Quientin McCord (Atlanta Falcons), John Johnson (San Francisco 49ers), Tony Stargell (New York Jets) and Marty Carter (Detroit Lions). Revere has also had a hand in developing several professional players while coaching at Eastern Kentucky. Alex Bannister, a wide receiver with the Super Bowl XL participant Seattle Seahawks, learned under Revere. Dialleo Burks, who also played for Revere at LaGrange High School, went on to play for the Dallas Desperados in the Arena League, while Corey Crume went on to play for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League. On the recruiting front, Revere’s tireless work along with his countless high school contacts have helped land numerous successful student-athletes at Eastern. Among Revere’s standout recruits are Antwaun Molden, a third round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2008 draft, and Sean Dumford, a 2008 free agent signee with the Baltimore Ravens. Some of his other former recruits include Larry Turner, a seventh round selection of the St. Louis Rams in the 2004 draft, Terry Ennis, who inked a contract with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL and former Colonel linebacker Justen Rivers, the 2004 OVC Defensive Player of the Year. Revere was a standout during his collegiate playing career, starting at flanker for four seasons under legendary EKU head coach Roy Kidd. During those four years, he hauled in 95 passes for 1,501 yards and 13 scores. He also rushed 53 times for 419 yards and two touchdowns. A dangerous punt and kickoff return man, Revere tallied 459 career yards on 65 punt returns while racking up 1,212 yards and a touchdown on 59 kick-off returns. Revere was honored as a first team All-OVC selection during his junior season after earning second team all-league accolades during his sophomore campaign.

More importantly than that, he is a good teacher who cares about kids.” The EKU offense has the potential to be a tough act to stop in 2010 with sophomore quarterback T.J. Pryor leading the way. Pryor took over the signal calling duties midway through the year last season and led the Colonels to a second place finish in the OVC, which included an impressive 36-31 win at conference champion Eastern Illinois. Springston was the head coach and athletics director at West Virginia Tech from 1999-02 before taking over as head coach at the University of Charleston (W.Va.) for two years. While the head coach at West Virginia Tech, Springston took a program that had won six games in 10 years and developed it into a contender. The 2002 Golden Bears ended their season 6-5 overall and tied for second in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC). After four years at West Virginia Tech, Springston took on a new challenge by revitalizing the Charleston football program. The Golden Eagles had not fielded a football team since 1956, but Springston and his staff put together a competitive squad that earned three victories in 2004. Springston’s other collegiate coaching stints include offensive coordinator positions at Concord College (1992), Glenville State College (1991) and West Virginia Tech (1990). He also served two years as the head coach at Thornridge High (Dalton, Ill.) in 199495 and Linden McKinley High (Columbus, Ohio) in 1985-86. Most recently, Springston served three years as a special education teacher at Parkland High School in Winston-Salem, N.C. There, he volunteered his time with the football team for two years. Springston earned his bachelor’s degree from West Virginia Tech in 1981. Springston and his wife, Sharon, are the parents of three grown children – Chris Springston (32), Paul Tromp (32) and Lisa Tromp (29).

Pryor’s desperation pass to Orlandus Harris fell incomplete in the end zone as time expired, allowing host Indiana to escape with a 19-13 victory Thursday night at Memorial Stadium. This was the first ever meeting between the two schools. The Colonels trailed 19-10 at the half before rallying with two chances to win late in the contest. On EKU’s second possession of the second half, back-to-back big plays from Pryor set up a Colonel field goal to make the score, 19-13. First, Pryor scampered 36 yards on third down along the sidelines to extend the drive. The very next play, Pryor hit junior Shannon Davis for a 29-yard completion to put EKU in field goal range. Eastern held Indiana to just one first down in the third quarter and proceeded to move into scoring range again early in the fourth. Two key pass plays from junior quarterback Cody Watts to fellow junior Evan Cromer put EKU inside IU’s 20-yard line. The Colonels eventually reached the five-yard line, but proceeded to fumble the ball on 2nd-and-goal. Eastern’s defense held Indiana without a point two more times before giving the offense one more chance to win the game with 26 seconds to go. Pryor directed this drive and used two 20-yard pass plays to Cromer to move the ball to Indiana’s 40-yard line with eight seconds left. On the final play of regulation, Pryor lofted the ball to the left corner of the end zone, but Harris was unable to come down with the pigskin. Indiana moved up and down the field in the first half, tallying 262 offensive yards, to take the nine-point lead into the locker rooms. EKU’s defense turned the tide in the second half, holding the Hoosiers to only 137 yards. Two big plays set up Eastern’s points in the first half. Watts found senior wide receiver Garnett Phelps for a 61-yard score midway through the first quarter to cut Indiana’s lead to 9-7. Right before intermission, sophomore Jeremy Caldwell returned an IU punt 40 yards to the Hoosier 14-yard line. The Colonels couldn’t convert the field position into a touchdown, but Logan O’Connor booted a 23-yard field goal to make the score, 19-10, at the half. # 24 Eastern Kentucky at Indiana 7 9 3 10 3 0 0 0 – – RICHMOND, Ky. – After Tennessee Tech scored on its first possession, the Eastern Kentucky football team held the Golden Eagles scoreless the rest of the game in a 17-7 victory Saturday night at Roy Kidd Stadium. The Colonel defense limited TTU to 204 total yards and returned an interception late in the third quarter for the go-ahead touchdown. With Tennessee Tech leading 7-3, senior defensive back Andre Evans picked off a Lee Sweeney pass at the EKU 46-yard line and raced down the left sideline 54 yards untouched. Junior Logan O’Connor’s point-after made it 10-7 in favor of the Colonels with 2:54 left in the period. The EKU offense answered the call on its next possession. The Colonels marched 61 yards in six plays to stretch its lead to 10 points. After a pair of penalties put Eastern in a 2nd-and-16 hole, redshirt freshman T.J. Pryor connected with junior Shannon Davis over the middle for 45 yards to the TTU 22-yard line. Two plays later, another completion to Davis picked up nine more. Sophomore H.B. Banjoman polished off the drive with a 13yard touchdown run with 13:36 remaining in the game Pryor completed 12-of-19 pass attempts for 163 yards. Junior Cody Watts went 3-for-9 for 40 yards and threw one interception. Senior C.J. Walker led the ground game with 74 yards on 19 carries. The Colonels struggled out of the gate. On its first three trips into Tennessee Tech territory, EKU turned the ball over twice, including an interception in the end zone, and failed to convert a 42-yard field goal attempt. After forcing Eastern Kentucky to punt from its own 16-yard line, the Golden Eagles found pay dirt, driving 43 yards in four plays on their opening drive. On 3rd-and-10, Sweeney connected with Tim Benford for 42 yards to the EKU one-yard line. Following an offensive penalty, Hudson finished off the drive with a six-yard scoring run. Eastern got on the board with 1:21 left in the second quarter when O’Connor converted a 36-yard field goal. Redshirt freshman Justin Bell set up the score by blocking a Tennessee Tech punt attempt at the 22-yard line. After being forced to punt on its first possession, the Colonel offense found Tech territory on its next seven possessions leading to halftime. However, Eastern scored just three points. 13 19 Tennessee Tech at #22 Eastern Kentucky IU 2, EKU 0 – Team safety (10:38, 1st) IU 9, EKU 0 – Trea Burgess 1-yard run (7:30, 1st) IU 9, EKU 7 – Garnett Phelps 61-yard pass from Cody Watts (6:17, 1st) IU 12, EKU 7 – Nick Freeland 38-yard field goal (13:04, 2nd) IU 19, EKU 7 – Damarlo Belcher 33-yard pass from Ben Chappell (7:49, 2nd) IU 19, EKU 10 – Logan O’Connor 23-yard field goal (0:31, 2nd) IU 19, EKU 13 – O’Connor 31-yard field goal (6:06, 3rd) First Downs Rushing Yardage Passing Yardage Passes Punting Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards 3rd Dn.

The No. 20 Colonels (2-1, 2-0 OVC) have now won eight of the last nine meetings against the Racers (1-3, 0-1). Besides forcing three turnovers, EKU’s defense held Murray State to 12 total yards rushing and compiled six sacks. Junior Jordan Dalrymple led Eastern with six tackles and two sacks. Redshirt freshman Justin Bell recorded his first two career interceptions, including a pivotal interception in the Colonel end zone in the third quarter. Eastern never trailed in the game as senior C.J. Walker opened the scoring with a one-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to make the score, 6-0. Walker finished the game with a team-high 17 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns. After the two teams exchanged field goals, Murray State’s second turnover led to another Eastern Kentucky touchdown. Junior Marcus Williams picked off a batted Racer pass, giving the Colonel offense starting field position near midfield. Redshirt freshman quarterback T.J.

Eastern Kentucky had a chance to regain the lead on its ensuing possession, but the Colonels fumbled at the Governors’ one-yard line. Austin Peay then added a 27-yard field goal with 2:04 left to extend the lead to 24-20.

Eastern Kentucky trailed 10-0 before finally answering with its first extended drive of the game. On 3rd-and-2, T.J. Pryor found Orlandus Harris for 11 yards. On the next play, Pryor hooked up with Harris again, this time over the middle for 42 yards to the UK 11. The Colonels only picked up two more yards before being forced to attempt a field goal. Junior Marcus Williams took the snap as the holder, but instead of putting the ball down for Logan O’Connor’s field goal attempt, he raced untouched to the right corner from nine yards out to cut the lead to four. The point-after attempt failed and the Colonels trailed 10-6 with 2:44 on the clock in the second quarter. Kentucky added one more scoring drive before intermission to make the score 17-6 at halftime. UK opened the second half with another long drive. Deep in Eastern territory, Colonel cornerback Andre Evans nearly picked off a pass with nothing but clear sailing in front of him, but the senior couldn’t hold on to the ball. A pick-six could have cut the deficit to 17-14 early in the third quarter. The EKU defense ultimately held Kentucky to a field goal attempt, which missed to the left. On their next possession, the Wildcats pushed out to a 24-6 lead. After taking over at the 50 yard line, UK drove the distance in nine plays. A 14yard scoring pass from Newton to Maurice Grinter capped the drive with 2:28 left to play in the third quarter. Just over a minute later, an interception and one pass play extended the UK lead to 30-6. Newton connected with Chris Matthews from 18 yard out after Sam Maxwell picked off a pass by Pryor. RICHMOND, Ky. – Visiting Western Carolina capitalized on four Eastern Kentucky University turnovers to defeat the Colonels in non-conference football action Saturday afternoon at Roy Kidd Stadium, 24-7. The Colonels fall to 5-5 with the loss while the Catamounts snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 2-8. WCU took a slim 10-7 lead into halftime, but took advantage of two key Eastern Kentucky mistakes in the third quarter to stretch the lead to 24-7. Starting its second drive of the half at its own six-yard line, Eastern quarterback T.J. Pryor fumbled the exchange from center giving the Catamounts possession in the red zone. Western Carolna quarterback Zack Jaynes found Marquel Pittman for a seven-yard touchdown pass on the very next play to put the Catamounts ahead, 17-7. Three minutes later, the Colonels misplayed a punt return allowing Western Carolina to regain possession at the EKU 21-yard line. Three plays later, Jaynes threw his third touchdown pass, this time a 13-yard strike to Chris Everett, to make the score, 24-7. Eastern tried to respond on its next drive, but turned the ball over on downs at the Western Carolina 18-yard line. The Colonels faced a 4th-andone and elected to go for the first down only to see Walker get stuffed for a two yard loss. Western Carolina piled together a season-high 335 yards of offense and converted 10-of-20 (50 percent) third downs. Meanwhile, EKU was held to 3-of-12 (25 percent) on third downs. Jaynes paced the Western Carolina offense by going 24-for-34 for 232 passing yards. The sophomore equaled a career high with three touchdown passes.

The Colonels conclude the year 5-6 overall and 5-3 in the OVC. Eastern Kentucky had a chance to tie the game on its final drive, but turned the ball over on downs at the Jacksonville State 24-yard line. The Colonels ran for a season-high 233 yards in the loss. Senior C.J. Walker became the first player to tally 100 yards rushing against Jacksonville State in 2009 as he finished with a season-high 117 yards and a touchdown. Redshirt freshman quarterback T.J. Pryor added two touchdown passes to senior Garnett Phelps and junior Shannon Davis. Gamecock quarterback Ryan Perrilloux ran for a score and threw for a touchdown against the Colonels. Perrilloux posted a career-high 115 yards rushing on just nine carries to go along with 191 yards passing. The first half featured five lead changes before Jacksonville State took a 21-20 lead into intermission. Eastern ran for 190 yards in the first 20 minutes, including 88 yards from Walker. The Gamecocks extended their lead to 31-20 early in the fourth quarter. Eastern Kentucky responded on its next drive to slice the deficit to 31-26. Pryor carried the Colonels by completing 3-of-4 passes for 66 yards. Walker capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-goal. Jacksonville State couldn’t put the game away on its next possession as the Gamecocks settled for a 23-yard field goal to go ahead, 34-26. From there, the Colonels began their final drive from the 11-yard line with 3:22 remaining. Two big pass plays from Pryor to Phelps quickly helped Eastern move into Jacksonville State territory. A third-down conversion from Pryor to junior Cody Watts then put EKU on the Gamecock 33-yard line. However, facing 4th-and-2 on the 25-yard line with a minute remaining, Eastern Kentucky fumbled the exchange from center and Jacksonville State recovered the ball to seal the win.

For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expandBeth DeBauche OVC Commissioner ing to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and Kyle Schwartz the Mid-American Conferences. Asst. Commissioner The OVC’s proud history past dates back for Media Relations to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 62 years, 14 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships, as they compiled a 15-1 league record over that time period. Only one other Football Championship Subdivision school (UMass) has won more Conference titles than the Colonels. Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of EKUSports.com them – Eastern Kentucky and Murray State – were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois).

More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoffs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. The Football Championship Subdivision playoffs provides for a maximum field of 20 teams. Eight teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining 12 teams the following week in the round of 16. Ten conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2010 championship. The remaining 10 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. The title game will be played at a new site (Frisco, Texas) and new date (Jan. 7, 2011) this year. Eight other sites have hosted the championship including Chattanooga, Tenn., which served as the host for the previous 13 championship contests. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams) and the 1986 championship (16 teams). The championship format remained at 16 teams until this year.

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Average attendance at football games has been around 10,000 fans this decade, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the field. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 41-year history. Entering the 2010 season, Eastern has won 191, lost 42, and tied 1 (.818 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoff appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by third-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2010 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17-of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid off as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when AllAmerican nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiffened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and AllAmerican candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records fell for the 59 EKUSports.com �eku Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel offensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoff for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled off 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiffened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the difference being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a gamewinning field goal. EKUSports.com 60 �COLONELS Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 allpurpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always affable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling off four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoff field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the gamewinning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and difficult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national runner-up trophy. 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoffs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and off the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick off from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull off one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an offensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive effort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoffs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoffs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Offensively, Bird highlighted the playoff win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year.

To earn consideration for the All-Century Team, players must have met at least one of the following criteria: first or second team AllOVC honors, enshrinement in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, or All-American honors.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Friday, Oct. 8 with the inductees also honored the next day at the home football game against Eastern Illinois. Including the 2010 induction class, there are 26 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, Fred Harvery, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Roy King, Aaron Marsh, Buddy Pfaadt, Charles Shuster, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included. If you have additions, or find errors in the list, please contact the Athletic Public Relations office.

Karl Park Director Division of Sports Information Karl Park, a 1970 graduate ofEKU, is now in his 29th year as Sports Information Director for Eastern' s athletic teams. He served as sports editor of the school newspaper, The Eastern Progress, for three years while a student of the University. The 49 year-old Richmond, Kentucky native is a member of the College Sports Information Directors of America (COSIDA), the United States Basketball Writers Association and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. He recently concluded a six-year stint as Mideast Director of the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association. He received national recognition for the production ofEKU' s three seasonal media guides for 1978-79 and 1979-80. The winter sports guide was voted Best in the Nation - Division A for those two years. Park was a member of the Ohio Valley Conference's 40th Anniversary Celebration Committee in 1987-88 and served on the OVC's 50th Anniversary Committee last year. He received his master's degree from Eastern in 1979 in sports administration. He is currently serving his fourthyearon the GTEAcademicAIIAmerica Committee as District IV Coordinator for the University Division Men's Fall/Winter and Spring Sports At-Large Teams. He is married to the former Shelley Steele ofOwingsville and they have a daughter, Rachel, age 14, and son, Drew, 8. 3 �policy. For the 10 years prior to his election as Lieutenant Governor, Dr. Kustra served in the Illinois General Assembly, both as a representative and a senator. During his first year in each of the two chambers, his colleagues elected him as the Best Freshman Legislator. In the General Assembly, he championed efforts in education, including Chicago public school reform. Throughout his public service, President Kustra continued to teach political science at the university level. He has served on the faculties ofthe University of Illinois at Chicago, Roosevelt University, and Northwestern University. He holds the B.A. from Benedictine College, the M.A. from Southern Illinois University, and the Ph. D. from the University of Illinois. A believer in the use of technology as a resource to improve teaching and learning and to increase access to education, he credits Kentucky's initiative in postsecondary education reform as one of the factors that attracted him to Eastern Kentucky University. He and his wife, Kathy, have three grown children. Dr. Robert W. Kustra EKU President Dr. Robert W. Kustra began his tenure as Eastern Kentucky University's ninth President July 2, 1998. At the time of his election by the University Board of Regents, he was serving in his eighth year as the Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. While serving two terms as Illinois' second-highest elected official, he directed statewide initiatives in the areas of education, economic development, technology and substance abuse. More closely akin to his current responsiblilities, he spearheaded a major reorganization and streamlining of the public university governance structure in Illinois. His role in the latter accomplishment was made possible in 1996 when the Governor appointed him as Chair of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, with responsibility for the oversight of 12 public universities. Since 1994, he had been assigned the responsiblity for the state's economic development Dr. Robert Kustra is shown with his wife Kathy at an informal reception in early July that welcomed the couple to EKU. 4 �Athletics At Eastern Kentucky University Organized under a single administrative unit, the College of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics includes three academic departments, the Division of Athletics, and the Division oflntramural Programs. The three academic departments; Health Education, Physical Education, and Recreation and Park Administration, offer undergraduate and graduate degree programs with 12 different options. The Division of Athletics sponsors eight intercollegiate sports for men and eight intercollegiate sports for women. In addition to the balanced intercollegiate athletics program, the Division of Intramural programs sponsors competitive team and individual sports, recreational free play, sport clubs, camping trips, equipment rental, and other co-ed activities for students, faculty, and staff. These programs are an integral part of the total program and development of Eastern students. They offer experiences which contribute immeasurably to the health, vitality and preparation ofyoung people as citizens and for their leadership contributions to the youth in the nation's schools and elsewhere. Possessing academic backgrounds that represent more than a score ofthe finest colleges and universities in the nation, the coaches of athletics are members of the full-time faculty that provide the academic and intramural, as well as, varsity athletic programs housed within the College. The Dean of the College is Dr. Robert J. Baugh. The three academic departments are chaired by: Dr. Donald Calitri, Health Education; Dr. Lonnie Davis, Physical Education; Dr. Larry Belknap, Recreation and Park Administration. John Jewell serves as director of the Division oflntramural Programs. The College's intercollegiate athletics program is administered by Dr. Robert Baugh, who also serves as athletics director. Mike Blaser is assistant athletics director for external affairs, while Betty Werner is associate director of athletics for internal affairs. EKU, a member of the NCAA and Ohio Valley Conference, fields athletic teams in football, baseball, men's and women's basketball, tennis, cross country, track and field (indoor and outdoor), golf, women's softball and volleyball. In addition to a diversified faculty, extensive indoor and outdoor resources are required to support the wide scope operation ofEastern's College ofHPER&A, and most facilities serve multipurpose functions for instruction and athletics. The College's programs are housed in five major campus structures: The RobertB. Begley Building, Alumni Coliseum, Weaver Health Building, the Presnell Building, and the Greg Adams Building. Numerous tennis courts, recreation areas, Gertrude Hood Field, Turkey Hughes Baseball Field and the Tom C. Samuels nine-lane track and tartan infield are among the other facilities of the College. The F.M. Burke Wellness Center, located in the Weaver Health Building, provides a practical educational opportunity for students as well as individualized physical activity, lifestyle assessment, and physical assessment that can assist faculty and staff in the development of healthy lifestyles. Joan Hopkins, EKU's athletics academic counselor, center, advises two Eastern student athletes. EKU has won the prestigious Ohio Valley Conference Academic Achievement Banner six years (1988-92, 1994-95, 1997-98). 5 �Dr. Robert Baugh Athletics Director and Dean, College of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics Dr. Robert Baugh serves as Director of Athletics, as well as Dean of Eastem's College of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics, one of the University's nine academic colleges. Baugh, former professor and chair of the EKU Department of Health Education, assumed the duties of acting dean in January of 1987. He also served a six month stint as Acting Director of Athletics during the 1990-91 school year prior to the appointment of Roy Kidd as athletics director. He has been at Eastern since 1970. Prior to amvmg at EKU, Baugh taught four years at Austin Peay State University following a stint of high school teaching in University City, Missouri. Baugh holds the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees from Indiana University. Baugh and his wife, Carol, reside in Richmond. She is a professor in EKU's College of Allied Health and Nursing.

Roy Kidd's Quest For a Third National Title Has Not Dimmed By Craig Ammerman, Guest Writer •1 like the way our coaches and pretty good. But not for Roy Kidd and Eastern Kentucky football. There is nothing about Kidd's life or athletic career that causes one to use the word average (unless YOU want to suggest that about his golf game). For example, that 6-5 record in 1996 caused the Colonels to miss the I-AA playoffs for the first time in 12 seasons--only the third time they have missed the post-season in the 20 years since Division I-AA was formed . They began to put that behind them in 1997; they hope to completely bury the memory in 1998. As he talked about the upcoming season in mid-July, Roy Kidd could hardly wait to get started. He was getting ready the way he always has: hours of meetings with the coaching staff and film study of his team and their early season opponents. In other words, hard work. Just what you would expect from one of the most successful and respected coaches in the history of his sport. This will be his 44th year as a football coach, his 35th year as the head coach at his alma mater and the 41 st year that he has had the primary responsibility for a football team. our players have worked to get ready for the 1998 season. They may be overmatched on occasion, but they'll come to play." - Roy Kidd As measured by almost any yardstick, the Eastern Kentucky University football team had a successful 1997 season. Coming off a 6-5 record in 1996, the school's worst in 20 years, and facing perhaps their toughest schedule ever, the Colonels went 8-4, swept through the Ohio Valley Conference undefeated and returned to the I-AA playoffs. But for Roy Kidd, whose place in the history of college football is secure, those four losses--and particularly a disheartening first round playoff defeat--left him unfulfilled. "We bounced back, won our conference and got back to the playoffs," said Kidd, "and those were our goals. So, maybe I should be satisfied. But I'm not and neither are the coaches or the players. We all want to do better. That's among our goals for this season (1998) ." It won't be easy. The OVC will be stronger than in 1997, and to say that the non-conference schedule is stronger is considerable understatement. On Sept. 12, the Colonels go to Lexington to play the University of Kentucky, led by Tim Couch, the nation's top quarterback and a leading Heisman Trophy candidate. Challenges such as those lead some to suggest that anything better than average in 1998 might be 8 �ing knowledge of the game that he passed on to his players, he treated everyone with respect." (Dr. Demler is a urologistin Sarasota, Florida.) "Coach Kidd and his staff make players better than they think they can be," said Wally Chambers, a two-time AII-OVC and All-American defensive tackle in the early 1970s. (Chambers played seven years in the NFL, was its Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1973 and made the Pro Bowl. Since then, he has worked as an NFL and college coach .) "No matter how big your reputation was, or where you came from, everyone was treated the same," said Robyn Hatley, a two-time, AII-OVC offensive tackle in the mid-1970s. "Coach Kidd gave us all a sense of pride, because of the way he ran his program." (Dr. Hatley is a pediatric surgeon at the Medical College of Georgia.) "You can tell the first time you meet him that Coach Kidd tells you the truth," said John Jackson, a two-time, AII-OVC offensive tackle in the mid-1980s. "He always tells you where you stand. I've heard from other guys .. . that a lot of schools try to hide things from you and you don't learn the truth until after you get there. With Coach Kidd, you know." (Jackson is in his 11th year as an NFL starting offensive tackle, and his first season with the San Diego Chargers; he entered 1998 with a new 6-year, $26 million contract, making him the NFL's highest paid offensive lineman .) "Coach Kidd always wants you to do the right thing," said Aaron Jones, two-time AII-OVC and All-American defensive tackle in the late 1980s. "He gives good advice, and he knows what the young guys love to do. You could never pull anything over on him. On campus or in town, he knows." (Jones, the 19th player taken in the 1988 NFL draft, played nine years in the league, through the 1996 season.) The man also is a football coach with few peers. Since 1978, when Division I-AA was formed, Eastern Kentucky has the fourth winningest college football program in Division I. The 188 Colonel wins in the 20 seasons since 1978 are exceeded only by Nebraska, Brigham Young and Florida State among the 200 Division I and I-AA schools. For the 20 years there has been a Division I-AA, EKU has stood at its pinnacle. Among current participating schools, only Georgia Southern and Youngstown State belong in the same paragraph. Before he was a coach, Roy Kidd was a player. Just as in his coaching career, as a player he stood above the crowd. At Corbin High School in southeastern Kentucky, Kidd His coaching peers have elected him president of the Football Coaches Association. His name is on the EKU stadium, and it is engraved in the record books alongside the sport's giants--Eddie Robinson, Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden, Pop Warner. In mid-May of 1998, he was presented with the Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award for Head Coaches by the All-American Football Foundation, marking him as one of the great football coaches of alltime. His 280 victories rank him seventh all time. Every fall , a new chapter of the Roy Kidd story is written. The page turns. The characters change. What doesn't change is what the coach expects of himself, his staff and his team, and the way he deals with the world around him. Since 1956, Kidd-coached players have been winning on fall weekends, then moving on to successful lives. He always has followed a simple philosophy. "I try to treat my players, my coaching staff, the people I work with, the way I would like to be treated," he said. "I tell my coaches, 'You treat these young men like you'd like to be treated'." His players remember. "He has been the most important man in my life. He set me straight, made me care about school and about myself. And he taught me how to win," said Wayne Bowlin, who played on the 1956 Madison High School team, Coach Kidd's first year as a head coach. 'Those lessons have stayed with me. There's rarely a day I don't think of something I learned from Coach Kidd." (Bowlin recently retired after a successful career as a coach, teacher and principal; his son, Mike, now a college assistant coach, played for Coach Kidd at EKU .) "Coach Kidd has helped many, many athletes develop not only their athletic skills, but their character as well. What these kids are hearing today from him are the same things we heard from him 30 years ago," said Jim Guice, two-time AII-OVC quarterback who directed the Colonels in 1966, 1967 and 1968. (Guice is General Manager of the Miami Division of Ryder Transportation Services.) "Coach Kidd changed my life," said Jim Demler, a standout defensive tackle in the late 1960s. "He believed in 'me and gave me a chance when others wouldn't. In addition to his outstand- Coaches at One School (Following are the records of the only coaches who have ever won 200 ore games at one school in the history of Division I colleg I.

Kidd turned down a scholarship to play for Bear Bryant at the University of Kentucky because his favorite sport was baseball--and the football coaches at Eastern Kentucky were willing to let him play both sports. Which isn't to say that he couldn't play football. His senior year at Eastern, Kidd was an All-American quarterback. After one year as a graduate assistant at Eastern and another year at a local high school, Kidd was named the football coach at one of Kentucky's smallest high schools, Richmond Madison, about a 4-iron from the EKU practice field. In six seasons, Kidd's Madison teams won 54 games and lost 10. There was a 27-game winning streak; in one 21 -game stretch, Kidd's teams allowed a total of 15 points. Kidd was Kentucky Coach of the Year in 1961, his last year at Madison. Kidd served the next two years as a college assistant, in 1962 at Morehead State and in 1963 at Eastern. He began the 1964 season as the head coach at his alma mater. Now, he begins his 35th consecutive season in that job, a one-school tenure unmatched in Division I or I-AA. Kidd's first Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) championship came in 1967, which ended with a Grantland Rice Bowl victory (27-13) over Ball State. The second OVC title came the next year, as a team led by Guice and wide receiver Aaron Marsh (AFL Rookie of the Year in 1968) set the standard for future teams. Things began to get really interesting in 1978, when the NCAA created two levels in Division I football. Division I-AA was formed when some conferences (the Southern, Southland and Big Sky) stepped down from Division I and others (the OVC, Yankee, Colonial, Southwestern and Gateway) stepped up from Division II. That was a critical moment, because Division I-AA schools could award 65 scholarships, 25 more scholarships than Roy Kidd had ever had before. The coach was able to bring in more undeveloped recruits who were similar to the best players who had come before them--like Guice, Marsh and Chambers. These were players with talent, but who perhaps were an inch shorter or a step slower or a few press clippings lighter than the athletes pursued by the major colleges. The first I-AA season, 1978, the Colonels were 8-2 but did not make the playoffs. Then began this four-year run : to Boise State in the game's final 15 seconds on a fourth-downand-goal desperation pass. - The 1981 season produced a 12-2 record and playoff victories over Delaware and Boise State. But the season ended in crushing disappointment with a 34-23 loss to Idaho State in the national championship game. - Quarterback Tuck Woolum and receiver Steve Bird led a veteran team into the 1982 season. They were determined not to be denied again, and they weren't. The Colonels completed a marvelous 13-0 record by winning their second national title, 17-14 over Delaware. Every year since then, with the notable exception of 1985 and 1996, fall Saturdays have brought eight or more victories and playoff appearances to Roy Kidd and Eastern Kentucky. Always, the emphasis has been on fundamentals. Turnovers and penalties are few, gimmicks even fewer. Dave Roberts, a former Kidd assistant who now is the head coach at Baylor University, said, "Look, you know what they're going to do. They do pretty much the same thing every year. But that doesn't make it any easier. They just line up and beat you." Tim Stowers, the former head coach at 1-AA power Georgia Southern, said, "Coach Kidd believes in blocking and tackling. His defense says, Here we are, block us if you can. His offense says, Here we come, stop us if you can. Not many people block them, and not many people stop them." Coach Kidd pleads guilty. ''We try to keep the game from being too complicated," he said. "Some of the people we play try to do too much, and that leads to mistakes. I believe that your kids should know what they are supposed to do, so they can execute on the field. If you're going to beat me, I want my kids to know what they are doing. We want to make it possible for them to win." There is no doubt that it works. His 280 victories at Eastern (334 wins overall as a head coach) rank Kidd seventh all time among Division I coaches and third all time for victories at one school. The Colonels have compiled some impressive records as well. In the 20-year history of Division I-AA, EKU's 188 wins are comfortably ahead of all others in the 90-team division--16 more than second-place Delaware. EKU has appeared in the I-AA playoffs five more times (a total of 17 appearances) than any other school, and played in more playoff games (31) than any other. Along the way, there have been opportunities for Roy Kidd - In 1979, the Colonels won their first playoff game, 33-30 in overtime over Nevada, then methodically dispatched Lehigh, 30-7. It was Eastern's first national championship. - In 1980, EKU made it to the final game again, losing 31-29 Ro Bill Boo 10 �to finish his career at a bigger school , earning more money. But he hasn't budged. "Roy is one of the best coaches in the history of the sport, and he could have gone other places," said David Cawood, a former Kidd aide who served as assistant executive director of the NCAA for several years. "But he has a comfort level at Eastern, and he has his ego in check. He already has what's important to him." What's most important to Coach Kidd is his family. He and his wife, Sue, have three children--Marc, Keith and Kathy--and six grandchildren: Seth Kidd {11 ), Samantha Kidd (8), Evan Kuhl (9), Nicholas Kuhl (5) and Kirsten Kuhl (3) and Kody Kidd (1 ). "I have a lot of roots here," said the coach. "This is my home. It's Sue's home; it's our family's home. This is my school. I played here. I really love this place. And I really love the kids we have at Eastern, and the friends we've made over the years." Those years have not dimmed the competitive fire that drives Roy Kidd. He's not a good loser, and freely admits it. He loves to coach, and he still looks forward to the work winning requires--the seven-day weeks, the countless hours of watching film, being available when a current or former player needs him. For all the success, the victories, the championships, the unmatched satisfaction he feels from seeing so many former players doing so well in their lives ... for all of that, Coach Kidd is a man who is not very content. "Last year, we were much improved over where we were in 1996; I still have nightmares about 1996," said Kidd. "But we aren 't where we want to be, where we expect to be. "We've lost nine games the last two years. We're not used to that, although I know those were the two toughest schedules we've ever had. But we've always had challenging schedules. We have a very tough one this year." The coach said his staff and the players had responded well to the challenge to getting ready for 1998. "We had a good winter program and a good spring," he said. "A number of our kids have been working very hard this summer, getting ready for September." Offensively, Coach Kidd likes the depth and experience he has up front, the potential represented by running backs Derick Logan and Corey Crume and the speed and experience of wide receiver Rondel Menendez. Sophomore Waylon Chapman, who had a good spring and came out of spring drills as the number one quarterback, will battle junior transfer Jon Denton and junior college transfer Chad Collins for the starting job. Defensively, there is no depth at defensive tackle (Kidd: "whoever backs up the starters will not have ever played collegiately"), no experience at middle linebacker and a major concern in the secondary: all four starters in 1998 have graduated. Strong safety Scooter Asel, an all-OVC player as a freshman in 1996, is fighting his way back from a knee injury that ended his 1997 season in the opener. If healthy, Asel could make a big difference for the Colonels. Asel's presence would help . The OVC portion of the schedule is expected to be very tough, with stiff championship challenges expected from Middle Tennessee, Murray State, Eastern Illinois and Tennessee Tech. The non-conference schedule features Western Kentucky, which returns the incredible Willie Taggart at quarterback, Appalachian State, Kentucky State, and, for the first time, the University of Kentucky and its fabulous quarterback, Tim Couch . "It's not like we don't have a full plate," said Kidd. "But I like the way our coaches have worked to get ready, and I like our kids. They may be overmatched on occasion, but they'll come to play." Along the way, there will be reminders about what is expected in a program with so much tradition. Some will come from former players who don't need much prompting to discuss what it has meant to them to play for, and learn from, Coach Roy Kidd. Robyn Hatley, pediatric surgeon: "He has given a lot of people a chance that they probably would not have had other places. He believes in you. He is a gentleman and a good man." Wayne Bowlin, teacher and principal: "I tried to tell him once what he had meant to me, how he was so important in my life. He told me to do the same things for kids who, like me 40 years ago, needed help." Jim Demler, urologist: "He changed my life. He believed in me unequivocally, and he gave me a chance when others wouldn't. I'll never be able to repay him for all the things he did for me, for making me a better person." 11 �12 �Meet The Assistant Coaches DEAN HOOD Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Backfield Coach Dean Hood, former assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Glenville (WV) State College, begins his fifth season as defensive backfield coach at EKU and his second as defensive coordinator for the Colonels. Hood came to Eastern after coaching at Glenville State for four seasons, the last three on defense, as GSC advanced in 1993 to the NAIA Division I national championship game and compiled a 10-3 record. Glenville State's defense ledallNAIADivisionlschools in 1993in three categories : scoring defense (9.2), pass defense (118.0) and total defense (223 .0).

Redshirt freshmen on offense who will be available for duty in 1998 are tackle Bennie Wyatt (6-7, 279), tackle Howard Jones (6-11 /2, 330), guard Jacob Johnson (6-2, 1/2293) and guard Brent Fox (6-3, 255). Defensively, four starters return to a Colonel unit that led the conference in scoring defense (13.4) and pass efficiency defense in 1997. Although all four starters in the Colonels' secondary have graduated, these defensive starters are led by second-team AII-OVC choice, senior tackle Justin Ernest (6-3, 271 ), and honorable mention all-conference junior tackle Jason Muchow (6-0, 303). Ernest totaled 33 solo tackles, 26 assists, 13.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks last season, while Muchow is the leading returning tackler for the Colonels this season from the '97 club with his totals of 43 solos, 32 assists, 10.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. Other starters coming back on defense include senior linebacker Charles Tinsley (6-0, 213), 46 solos, 25 assists, two caused fumbles, 5 TFL, and sophomore linebacker Butch Printup (6-0, 207), 15 solos, 19 assists, 4 TFL, 2 sacks and two fumble recoveries. Also returning for his senior season is starting punter Stephen Brown (5-10 1/2, 210) who averaged 37.6 yards per punt. The Colonels' efforts on defense in '98 will be bolstered by the return of sophomore strong safety Scooter Asel (6-0, 205), who received a medical redshirt after suffering a season-ending knee injury last season in the opener at Troy State. Asel was a firstteam AII-OVC pick in 1996 after finishing 12th in the league in hits (67 solos, 29 assists) and tied for fifth in interceptions with four. Backup ends Kenneth "Shorty" Combs (6-1, 235, junior) and Terry Thomas (6-1 1/2, 250, junior) will contest for a starting spot at end, along with mid-year University of Kentucky transfer Anthony Watson (6-3, 244, junior).

Jewell (5-11, 187), Nick Sullivan (6-2 1/2, 214) and Tomma Huguely (5-10, 176); linebacker Chris Huff (6-0 1/2, 208); and tackle David Heady (6-4 1/2, 272).

Kidd, who is currently third among active Division I and IAA coaches in coaching victories with 280, and his staff signed 22 high school and junior college recruits as additions to the 1998 roster. Eastern Kentucky University head football coach Roy Kidd returns 14 starters among the 31 lettermen coming back for the 1998 season as he begins his 35th year at the helm of the Colonel program. EKU is coming off an 8-4 season that saw Eastern win its 18th Ohio Valley Conference championship with a perfect 7-0 record. Eastern also participated in the NCAA I-AA playoffs for an unprecedented 17th time and finished the year ranked 15th in the nation in both The Sports Network and the USA Today/ESPN polls. Eastern will return a veteran offense where nine of 11 starters are coming back for the Colonels, headlined by four returning first-team AII-OVC performers from 1997 that were a big reason why EKU led the league in total offense (396.0), rushing offense (198.3) and scoring offense (33.5). These all-conference choices returning on offense include senior wide receiver Ronde! Menendez (5-9 1/2, 176); junior tailback Derick Logan (6-0, 218); senior guard/tackle Tyrone Hopson (6-3, 309) who was also named third-team Associated Press AllAmerican last year; and junior guard Josh Hunter (6-2, 280). Menendez set a new school record for most yards receiving in a single season with 1,137, while hauling in a team-leading 54 catches for nine touchdowns. He finished the '97 year as the third-ranked receiver in the conference and now has career marks at Eastern of 98 receptions for 1,958 yards and 16 TD's. Logan, who began his collegiate career by garnering Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year honors at the University of Kentucky in 1996, followed that up last season by leading the Colonels in rushing with 849 yards in 175 carries, while scoring 11 touchdowns rushing, good enough for a third-place ranking in final OVC stats. Other starters back on offense for Eastern include senior center Reggie Myrtil (6-1 1/2, 301) who missed most of the '97 season with a knee injury; junior tackle Charlie Watkins (6-2, 283); senior tackle Eliott Henderson (6-31 /2, 300); junior fullback Jonathan Butler (5-9 1/2, 220); and senior tight end Tony DeGregorio (6-3, 251 ). Butler picked up 193 yards in 44 carries and scored five TD's and caught five passes for 89 yards and a score in 1997. DeGregorio added six receptions for 62 yards last season. Another key returnee on offense for the Colonels is sophomore tailback Corey Crume (5-11 1/2, 217) who split time with Logan when healthy. While playing in nine of the team's 12 games, he actually led the Colonels in rushing yards per game (82.1) as he picked up 739 yards on the ground in 148 carries and scored a teambest 13 touchdowns. Back to battle for the starting quarterback job is sophomore Waylon Chapman (6-2 1/2, 228) who provided backup for last season's OVC Co-Offensive Player of the Year Simon Fuentes. In six games, Chapman hit 29-56 passes (.518 percentage) for 389 yards and two touchdowns. Battling him for the starting nod will be junior college transfer Chad Collins (6-0, 187) who came to Eastern in January, 1998, and record-setting quarterback Jon Denton, a 63, 210-pound junior who transferred to EKU from Nevada-Las Vegas in late July. Also returning is third-team tailback Brian Durham (5-9, 191) who played in eight games in 1997 and pickect up 360 yards in 88 carries and scored three TD's; senior fullback Jonas Hill (511, 236) who gained 73 yards in 16 carries with one TD; senior widereceiver Brian Brenneman (6-0 1/2, 195) who caught 13 17 �& MEET THE COLONEL OFFENSE CENTERS Toby Coyle ...

But he still runs a tight ship. Where players once had curfew every night, it has now been relaxed to three nights a week during the season. Where long hair was once banned year round , it is now banned only during the season . "I used to be a lot stricter on how they dress, " Kidd said of his players, "but I still don't let them have long hair during the season. I still want them to make a nice appearance representing the University." When recruiting, Kidd looks for "kids who can run and who like to hit. You can't play football today if you can't run, and you don't belong on the field if you don't like to hit. " He also looks for "the kid who is an inch or two shorter, half a step slower, 20 to 30 pounds lighter than the big schools want. Then, we have to work with them and teach them how to play. That's our job, to teach kids how to play the game." Despite the disadvantages presented by recruiting against bigger schools, Kidd said EKU coaches do "have some advantages in recruiting. We've always recruited good kids, and they become the best salesmen for our program. Potential recruits come here and can see how much our kids enjoy playing the game and how much they enjoy playing together. Another advantage is our tradition." One more advantage is that recruits learn they will be treated with respect. Eastern coaches don't hit players, and they don't treat them like second-class citizens. "I try to treat my players, my coaching staff, the people I work with, the way I would like to be treated, " said Kidd. "I'm not going to abuse our kids physically, and I don't expect any of my coaches to do that. I tell them, 'You treat those young men like you'd like to be treated'. "My basic philosophy in life as well as football is treat people the way you'd like to be treated." When Roy Kidd and his assistants hit the recruiting road this fall, they'll be telling potential players a story about winning. Said Kidd: "I try to sit down with every kid we want to sign, and I tell them and their parents, 'If you come to Eastern, you're going to have a chance to play for a conference championship and you're going to be in the national playoffs, and you're going to have a chance to win a national championship.' "There's so many places where a kid isn't going to have those chances, " Kidd said . "If he comes here, we're going to make sure that he has a chance to be a winner." There are other messages given to potential recruits - you will go to class, you will attend study halls and you won't use drugs. "We do all we can to make sure our players graduate," Kidd said. "We provide tutors to help them, we insist that they go to study table, and we don't put up with class cutting." As for drugs, Kidd sets aside money earned from his summer football camp - money which otherwise would go to him - to pay for regular drug testing for all Eastern players; this is in addition to testing conducted by the NCAA. "If you test positive once, it's between you and the trainer," Kidd said. "If you test positive again , I'm going to be told and I'm going to tell your parents. And the kid is going to enter counseling and straighten up before he can rejoin the team. "Drugs are a big problem in society, but they aren't going to be a big problem on our football team. I want our kids off drugs. And when they are with their peers and have an opportunity to stray, I want them to know that I'm going to be testing them." 31 �Eastern Kentucky-Home of I-AA Football's Top Rushing Game Tradition Harris ranks fourth (5.9). - In 1991, Lester and Thomas broke through the 3,000-yard barrierfortheircareers the same day--appropriately enough, Homecoming. Also that day, fullback Rick Burkhead went over 1,000 yards for his career, which was mostly spent opening holes for Harris, Lester and Thomas. - When Eastern faced Marshall in the Division I-AA semifinals in 1991, Lester and Thomas began the game with more than 7,500 career yards between them. A check of the record book by NCAA researchers failed to find any school with two starting backs--ever--totalling as much as 6,000 yards. - In 1993, seniors Leon Brown and Mike Penman shared the role of starter at tailback. It was the first time as a starter at tailback for either player, yet both exceeded 1 ,000 yards. Brown spent the 1994 NFL season with the New York Giants and the 1995 season in his home town of Jacksonville, Florida, on the roster of the NFL expansion franchise there. - For his career, Harris averaged 9.3 points per game, second highest total in the Division I-AA record book (behind Dave Meggett), and the 12.8 points he averaged per game in the 1988 season is the second highest average in one season (behind Jerry Rice). The most talented of this very accomplished group The first time Tim Lester saw film of the Eastern Kentucky offense, he was a high school running back in Miami, Florida. "I just thought, oh, man!" said Lester as he recalled watching first one tailback, then another, rip off huge chunks of yardage. He knew then that he'd be coming to Richmond, Kentucky, to play college football. Lester finished his Eastern career with the 1991 season. By then, he had rushedfor3,651 yards, despite losing all but one game of his sophomore season to a knee injury. Thus, he became one of 11 Colonel running backs to gain more than 2,300 yards since 1970, a record no other NCAA Division I or I-AA school can touch. Lester, now entering his seventh season as an NFL running back, first for the St. Louis Rams and now for the Pittsburgh Steelers, ranks 30th all time for career rushing yards in Division I-AA. Among those in front of him are four more EKU running backs: - Markus Thomas, who closed a fabulous career in 1992, is ranked as the number one Division I-AA all time rusher with 5,552 yards. Thomas spentthe 1993 NFL season with the Philadelphia Eagles and played three springs in the World League of American Football in Europe, scoring a touchdown in the championship game in 1996. - Elroy Harris, ranked 10th all time with 4,559 yards in three seasons (1985, 1987, 1988). - Jimmie Brooks, who ranks 18th with 3,842 yards (1968-1971). - James Crawford, who ranks 19th with 3,833 yards in three seasons ( 1985-1987). "We run the I-formation, and we feature the tailback, so you'd expect them to get a lot of yards," said Coach Roy Kidd. "But it's more than that. We've had some special kids playing back there. Plus, you've got to give credit to the offensive lines we've had. They' re responsible for a lot of those yards." The offense which produces all those yards seems predictable. It's the tailback off tackle. Ort he sprint draw up the middle. Or the option either way. Or the fullback on a quick hitter. Everybody knows what's coming. Butfewteams have shut it down. Consider: - Over the last 135 games, covering 11 seasons and 101 victories, the offense has averaged about 270 yards per game on the ground. - In the 13 seasons since 1985, there have been 18 individual 1,000 yard rushing seasons. Five times in 12 years, two backs have each gained more than 1,000 yards, another NCAA record. - Among the top 25 rushers, all time, in Division I-AA, Thomas has the highest average yards per carry (6.57) and .64 4.77 .90 .05 .32 4.95 5.91 5.29 5.72 5.66 5.60 6,52 .55 .91 .80 78 22 32 �as Colonel running backs and both are capable of attaining postseason honors. At fullback, junior Jonathan Butler will push for playing time. All of these players have the potential to one day become a bigger part of this story. The 1998 season will provide them with that opportunity. "We have some kids with the talent it takes to play running back here," said Kidd. "Now, we'll have to see which of them are ready to step up." may have been Elroy Harris. With his penchant for finding the end zone--58 times--and his trademark back flip upon doing so, he is the all-time crowd favorite. A second-round draft choice of the Seattle Seahawks in 1989, Harris played one year in the NFL before being waived, a victim, Seattle observers said, of a tendency to miss meetings and to practice half heartedly. Harris then played two years in the World League of American Football. The most versatile was Tim Lester, who would break outside f ram tailback one series, and flatten linebackers and defensive ends from fullback the next series. Those multiple talents were on display last in January 1992 when Lester played in the North-South and East-West Shrine all-star games. But the most accomplished was Thomas. He was selected first-time All-American by Kodak, Associated Press, Football News-Gazette and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. He was OVC Offensive Player of the Year his junior and senior years. Most of all, Thomas was a player who, like Lester, realized his potential. "He dedicated himself to doing the little things that are needed to be the best football player you can be," Kidd said. This year, junior Derick Logan and sophomore Corey Crume will be featured. Both are going into their second years 33 �& 1998 COLONEL ROSTER No. Name Pos.

Mumme, who was selected as the 1997 Region 2 Coach of the Year, will have 48 lettermen to work with in '98 , including nine starters back on offense , five regulars on defense and both starting kickers. The success of Kentucky's pass-oriented offense was one of the notable stories in college football last season . UK ranked sixth nationally in total offense with 474 yards per game. At the controls of UK's "Air Raid" attack is junior quarterback Tim Couch , one of the leading candidates for the 1998 Heisman Trophy . He completed 363 of 547 passes last season , good for 3,884 yards and 37 touchdowns , while leading the nation in passing yardage and completion percentage (66.4) and placing second in total offense (341 .7 ypg .) and TD passes. Kentucky has plenty of veteran rece ivers available , including senior wide receivers Craig Yeast (73 catches-873 yards- 10 TD's) , senior Lance Mickelsen (31-377-6) and Jimmy Robinson (33-336-2 ). Also back is junior tight end Jimmy Haley (24-195-0). Handling the backfield duties should be junior Anthony White (736 yards rushing, four TD's, 59 receptions , 453 yards , 4 TD catches ) at halfback and sophomore Derek Homer (502 yards rushing , 1 TD , 31 catches , 364 yards, two TD's) at fullback . Leading the defensive charge for the Wildcats will be junior middle linebacker Jeff Snedegar who totaled 97 tackles last season. First game of the series. PROSPECTUS The Kentucky State Thorobred football team ended the 1997 regular season with a 6-5 record and 4-2 second place fin ish in the SIAC. That second place finish earned the Breds a berth in the inaugural Pioneer Bowl played at Herndon Stadium on the campus of Morris Brown College in Atlanta. The Thorobreds defeated CIAA champs and nationally-ranked Livingstone, 30-26, giving KSU a respectable 7-5 overall record . This Bowl victory was the Thorobreds' first since 1948 and their seventh appearance in post-season competition . The Breds led all SIAC teams with 14 total selections (five firstteam and ninesecondteam)on the 1997 AII-SIACTeam. Defensive end Michael Mason and defensive back Marcus DovereamedAII-American honors. Mason and Tim Duncan received National Player of the Week honors by Donald Hansen's weekly Football Gazette. To say that enthusiasm for the football team on the KSU campus is high would be an understatement. The thrilling last-second victory over Livingstone in the Pioneer Bowl was very exciting and ended a three-year campaign by coach George Small, who was named SIAC Coach of the Year for the second straight season , and his staff in the rebuilding process. KSU returns its entire starting offensive line and a seasoned quarterback in Mike Volarvich for the first time during coach Small's tenure. Also back are three top receivers in Anthony Arnett, Dan Amos and James Stowe. The strength on defense will be atthe linebacker and secondary slots.

Last year saw the Hilltoppers win 10 of 12 games, earn a berth in the I-AA national championship playoffs (where the Hilltoppers advanced to the quarterfinal round) and finish the year ranked seventh in the nation in both The Sports Network and the ESPN/USAToday I-AA polls. That 10-2 record included three wins over nationally-ranked teams , as wel l as the No. 2 ranked team in NCAA Division II , New Haven. Things look promising for the 1998 Hilltoppers, who return 45 lettermen (24 on defense, 20on offense and the placekicker), including 16starters, from last fall's squad . The Hilltoppers return four athletes who earned All-America recognition last fall. That list includes a coupleofoffensive linemen--firstteamer Patrick Goodman and third-teamer Andy Hape -- placekicker Jeff Poisel and recordsetting quarterback Willie Taggart. Taggart was honored as I-AA football's National Player of the Week on three occasions (once by ESPN and twice by Hansen's Football Gazette). He fi nished the season ranked 11th in the nation in scoring (9.0), 13th in rushing (121 .7 ypg) and 36th in total offense (206.6 ypg .) On the defensive side, 11 of the Toppers' top 14 tacklers return . Leading the way are linebackers Brandon Egan (72tackles), Bernie Adams (68stops) and Trae Hackett (57 tackles). Poisel returns at kicker after hitting 54-55 extra points and 11-17 field goals for a school-record 87 points by kicking . Western leads the series, 41-31-3. Boots Donnelly Coach Kelverick Green PROSPECTUS Tailback MTSU head coach Boots Donnelly, starting his 20th season at the helm of the Blue Raiders , is hoping a year makes a lot of difference. His Middle Tennessee club took its lumps last year, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, in finishing with a 4-6-0 overall record . It was only the second losing season for the Raiders since 1980. The "difference a year makes" phrase becomes applicable because Donnelly starts the '98 season with much the same cast which ended the '97 campa ign. The Blue Raiders return 38 of 45 lettermen , eight of 11 starters on offense and 10 of 11 starters on defense. "We were awfully young last year," says Donnelly. "We lost one or two key people that we'll miss a lot, but mainly have the same crew coming back. Experience counts for a lot, but it doesn't count for everything." MTSU will attemptto replace the departed quarterback Jonathan Quinn and tailback Lebrian McGill in 1998. Quinn was understudied by sophomore Judd Moore, while junior college transfer Gabe Alaniz will also get a look there. The heir-apparent to McGill's spot is Kelverick Green who has gained more than 1,200 yards and scored 13 touchdowns in the last two seasons. The entire offensive line returns intact as well as a bevy of ta lented receivers . AII-OVC tight end Gary Davis (30 catches, 488 yards, 5 TD's) is back as well as starting split end Matt Lowe (39-534-2) and flanker Tri Heard (32425-2). The only player missing from the defensive lineup that started the final game of the 1997 campaign is linebacker Terrell Nesmith.

Cole Coach Lamar Carter Defensive End After consecutive 4-7 seasons, Tennessee State head coach L. C. Cole feels his Tiger squad is ready to turn the winning corner in 1998. Entering spring drills, the coaching staff looked to strengthen several areas as the Tigers attempt to halt a string of seven straight losing seasons. On defense, work was focused on the team becoming more fundamentally sound, with better technique shown all-around. Cole wants the '98 squad to become a swarming defense on the line with emphasis on pass rush and pass coverage skills. A strong linebacking corps returns , led by LamarCarterwhogained eight quarterback sacks 1n six games before breaking his leg. Other starters returning on defense are tackle Eric McCray, end Larry Floyd, linebackers Armand Williams and Brent Sterling and cornerbacks Darrell Hinton and Jarrick Hillery. Offensively , the staff worked to have the team become more focused reduce mistakes and control the ball. The offense has an explosive passing attack which averaged 265 yards per game in 1997. Senior wide receiver Tyrone Butterfield , who was 1997 co-OVC Offensive Player of the Year with EKU quarterback Simon Fuentes leads the way after leading the OVC in pass receiving (59 receptions 1053 yards 7 TD's) , kickoff returns (24.76 yards per return) and all-pu~pose yardage (154.84ypg .). Otheroffensive starters back arewideout Corey Sullivan quarterback Leon Murray, runningback Calvin Davenport, fullback Arce~tae Broome, guard Shawn Thompson and tackle Bennie Anderson .

This year, Johnson and his staff are getting a running start at the football seaso.n, compared to last year's whirlwind season. A year ago, Johnson was hired to replace Houston Nutt (now at Arkansas) just days before national signing day and his staff wasn't completed until two weeks before spring practice. The 1998 season will find a solid recruiting class, a retooled and talented coaching staff and a solid spring practice under the Racers' belt. 'We're way ahead of where we were last year, " said Johnson . "As far as our scheme, our staff and our talent level, we're light years ahead ." Returning eight starters from a defense which finished last season ranked No. 2 in total defense among the nation's Division I-AA teams, it's no secret the Racers will count on the continued brilliance of their defensive unit. Playing an attacking , blitzing eight-man front defense which puts a premium on speed , Murray State is solid in every area across its defense . MSU's biggest concern is on offense , where only three starters are back. Dan Loyd , last year's quarterback, will be challenged for the starting spot by Justin Fuente , a transfer from Oklahoma. Senior tailback Wilbert Smith returns after ranking eighth in the OVC in rushing last year, despite serving as a backup to Anthony Downs .

Marshall knows the task is a tough one and his first year began the groundwork for the future . Almost 60 first-year players were on last season's roster. Marshall says the first year in his return to his alma mater was tough as the team posted a 1-10 record , but one the team will certainly build upon as the program looks to move up in the OVC race . "The biggest change from this time last year until now is the attitude of the team as a whole," said the Sky hawks' coach . "The work ethic has greatly improved and the players have a better understanding of the system and what it will take to be successful." The Sky hawks will return 30 lettermen, which includes 15 of22 starters and both specialists. Among the returnees are many young players who benefitted from last year's experience and theirwork in the off-season. While newcomers will be looked upon to provide immediate help, the numberof new players will not be as dramatic as in Marshall's first season . Offensively, the Skyhawks were able to run the ball more than in previous seasons. Work on the passing game will be emphasized and a more consistent passing attack should help the continued progress of the running game. Defensively, seven starters return as the unit looks to shore up after allowing more than 400 yards per game last season. Jade Stillings should be among the top punters in the conference.

Last season , the Mountaineers fashioned a 7-4 overall mark and a 62 Southern Conference slate, closing the year ranked 22nd and 23rd in the two I-AA polls. ASU's second-place league finish was the 13th consecutive upper division finish and 15th in the past 16 seasons in the conference. Moore says his club's strength heading into fall drills will be his offensive and defensive lines , along with the rece iving corps . He said ASU's weaknesses lie in an inexperienced quarterback, not having a game-tested punter and the health of some of ASU's returnees . "We've got to do a good job early in the season in helping our quarterbacks get needed game experience, without throwing them to the lions. And we are experienced on offense everywhere but that spot, so we will ask our veterans to take on a protective role. Our kicking game is solid , but we have to identify a consistent punter and make sure we do all the little things in making our punter successful," sa id Moore. Back for the Mountaineers on offense will be all-conference performers Shawn Clark (offensive tackle}, Frank Leatherwood (tight end) , Tony Bequette (guard) and Joey Gibson (flanker). Leatherwood caught 36 passes for436 yards and five TD's , while Gibson hauled in 46 receptions for 695 yards and four scores.

The Southeast offense returns nine starters including last year's top ground gainer and top receiver. The question is at quarterback where the Indians must replace graduated starter Justin Martini. Defensively , Southeast returns just five starters and must replace first team All-American Angel Rubio at a defensive tackle position . "We have enough quality football players on both sides of the ball to compete in the OVC , "said Mumford who enters his ninth season as head coach . "If we come together as a team , we can be successful." The entire offensive line returns from last season , led by second team AII-OVC tight end Mitch Fryer and guard Jessie Eaton, and center Chris Kiefer who were both honorable mention AII-OVC . Fullback Britt Margaux, the leading ground gainer the past two seasons, returns for his senior campaign after gaining 492 yards and scoring fourTD's last season . Also returning are tailbacks K.D. Kolesho and Corey Williams who combined for724 yards and sixTD's last season . Also back is wide receiver Dante Bryant, second-team AII-OVC, who had 43 catches for 599 yards and five TD's last season. Defensively, SEMO returns second-team AII-OVC tackle Troy Baglio and end Marcus McClellan who helped the Indians rank 23rd nationally against the run last season.

Coach Bob Spoo has just eight returning starters, four each on offense and defense , from a team that went 8-3 last season , tied for second in the OVC and ranked No. 21 in the final ESPN/USAToday poll for NCAA I-AA. The offense is led by a pair of tailbacks, senior Justin Lynch and junior backup Jabarey McDavid, who ranked No. 2 and No. 6, respectively in OVC rushing with 84 .5 and 69.1 yards per game. Lynch was a second-team AII-OVC pick and has 1,855 career yards , eighth best on the El U all-time list. He's also the Panthers' top returning pass receiver with 28 catches for 240 yards. Also helping on offense will be second-team AII-OVC tight end Seth Willingham (26 receptions, 314 yards).

Top candidates to fill this role are sophomore Jeb Odam and California JC transfer Anthony Burch . Leading the defense will be a secondary paced by first-team A II-OVC cornerback Chris Watson who had 58 tackles, four deflected passes and three interceptions . He is also El U's main kick returner with his 34.1 yards per return average . Also return ing in the defensive backfield are secondteamAII-OVC safety Antwan Perry and cornerback Steffan Nicholson who missed the last two league games of '97 with an injury.

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academicathletics complexes in the nation. The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was renamed in honor of current head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on September 8, 1990 when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 20-10. Hanger Field was officially dedicated on September 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the field. Hanger Field consists of lush Bermuda grass that provides one of the best natural playing surfaces found anywhere. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 29-year history. Entering the 1998 season, Eastern has won 144, lost 24, and tied 1 (.855 winning percentage), and had a Kidd Stadium undefeated streak of 36 games which began on September 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt November 27, 1984. EKU also ran off 27 straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for 87 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths, and film areas. There is an auxiliary press box located opposite the main stands for live or taped television coverage with two levels for shooting footage available. Facilities inside the stadium include offices for the football coaching staff, locker rooms, a modern training room , and weight room . The structure also has 10 handball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,qoo students simultaneously .

This year's broadcast team will again be headed by longtime play-by-play announcer Greg Stotelmyer, who will be beginning his 16th season as "The Voice of the Colonels" and his 20th season overall of calling EKU football games. Joining him as color analyst will be Brett Pouncey, WEKY Operations Manager, who will be a part of the broadcast crew for the fourth year. Greg McClellan will handle field reporting duties for the second consecutive year. In addition to the radio broadcasts, the EKU Football Network features pre-game interviews with coaches and players, and Kidd joins Stotelmyer on the field after each game for the informative Coach Roy Kidd Post-Game Show. From left, the WEKY Radio broadcast team: Brett Pouncey and Greg Stotelmyer Colonels Send Hoelscher and Thomas to NFL Ranks With Eastern Kentucky's success on the football field welldocumented since the inception of I-AA football in 1978, the Colonels have also enjoyed huge success in providing signees to the different professional football leagues through the years. A total of 36 former EKU Colonels in the past 12 seasons have either been drafted or have signed as free agents with NFL clubs, including this year's additions- defensive end David Hoelscher (Green Bay Packers) and defensive back Danny Thomas (Arizona Cardinals) who were both free agent picks. Several EKU Colonels have played in the old American Football League, the now-defunct World League, the Canadian Football League, the World League of American Football, the Arena Football League and the National Football League. Split-end Aaron Marsh in 1968 began the parade of modernday Colonels to professional football as he signed and started that season for the Boston Patriots of the AFL. EKU's next big entry was that of former Time Magazine All-American and the No. 8 pick in the 1973 NFL Draft, defensive tackle Wally Chambers. He finished his first season in grand style by being named the National Football Conference's Defensive Rookie of the Year for the Chicago Bears. NFL scouts are constantly in contact with the EKU football office and attend games and practices throughout the year. Entering the beginning of the NFL's summer pre-season camps in July this year, seven former Eastern players were on NFL rosters. These include, with their first year in the NFL listed , offensive tackle John Jackson (1988)-San Diego Chargers; running back Tim Lester (1991 )-Pittsburgh Steelers; defensive end Chad Bratzke (1994)-New York Giants; tight end Jason Ounn (1996)-Philadelphia Eagles; linebacker Tony Mccombs (1997)-Arizona Cardinals; and Hoelscher and Thomas.

Except for the initial year, 1985 and 1996, the Colonels have either received invitation bids or automatically qualified by virtue of their Ohio Valley Conference championship for the post-season national playoffs, a grueling four-week system that involves 16 teams . EKU captured the national title in both 1979 and 1982 and fought its way to the finals in 1980and 1981. The 1983, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995 and 1997 teams were defeated in first round playoff action. The 1986, 1988 nd 1991 Colonel squads advanced to the semifinals before losing and the 1987 and 1994 teams lost in the quarterfinals. The I-AA football championship is under the control and supervision of the NCAA I-AA Football Committee, which is elected by the NCAA membership at the annual convention. Other Division I-AA champions have been Florida A&M (1978), Boise State (1980), Idaho State (1981), Southern Illinois (1983), Montana State (1984), GeorgiaSouthern(1985, 1986, 1989and 1990), Northeast Louisiana (1987), Furman (1988), Youngstown State (1991, 1993, 1994and 1997), Marshall (1992 and 1996) and Montana (1995).
