Media Information

Radio station WCYO (100.7 on the FM dial) will serve as the flagship station for the 2011 EKU Football Network. WCYO “The Coyote” is the flagship station for Wallingford Broadcasting of Richmond and Irvine. With 25,000 watts of power, The Coyote signal reaches more than 625,000 people.

This year’s broadcast team will again be headed by longtime play-by-play announcer Greg Stotelmyer, who will be serving his 28th season as “The Voice of the Colonels” and his 32nd season overall covering EKU football.

Stotelmyer has been employed the past 23 years as a reporter for WTVQ-TV in Lexington and also serves as the producer and host for the Coach Dean Hood Show and Coach Jeff Neubauer Show seen on Channel 36.

Joining Stotelmyer in the booth as the analyst for the ninth sea-son will be Greg McClellan, who had handled the field reporting duties from 1997-2000. Sean Hamilton, a second generation EKU football radio personality, will report from the sidelines for the second straight year after serving 13 of the previous 15 seasons as the engineer for the football radio broadcasts.

In addition to the radio broadcasts, the EKU Football Network features pre-game interviews with coaches and players, and Hood joins Stotelmyer on the field after each game for the informative Coach Dean Hood Post-Game Show.

Radio Coverage

Eastern Kentucky’s Athletic Department unveiled its rede-signed web site this summer.

The site, which has been powered by Sidearm Sports since 2008, features the latest news on all the EKU athletic teams. Live stats, feature stories, rosters, photo galleries, highlight and feature videos, and up-to-date schedules are just a few of the things that can be easily accessed through the site.

The site also features streaming audio for each football game, streaming video for all home games, press conference video clips and breaking news as it happens.

Fans can also sign up for an e-mail newsletter service through the site that will allow them to stay up-to-date on all their favorite Colonel squads .

Perhaps the best feature for EKU fans is the fact that audio from all football games will be streamed live via EKUSports.com at no charge to the fan.

The University

Eastern Kentucky University is known as the Campus Beauti-ful, and for good reason.

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 Ken-tucky’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 Col-lege 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 of-fered 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 class-room. 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 numer-ous 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 Confer-ence . The Colonels’ history includes several national champion-ships, conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances. However, the best is yet to come as the school’s athletic depart-ment 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 at-tractive 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.

Richmond is home to many interesting and convenient activi-ties. 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 Regis-ter of Historic Districts, it is one of Kentucky’s finest restored 19th Century commercial districts .

Arts and entertainment take center-stage with the Eastern Kentucky University theatre program. They offer several shows each year from classical theatre to modern musicals. Local artistic talents are on display year round at Gallery On Main. This is a perfect showcasing of local talent and an opportunity for commu-nity involvement .

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 accom-modate 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 Applebee’s, 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. Rich-mond’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 Ken-tucky 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 HistoryRichmond 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.

Season Outlook

The Eastern Kentucky University football team came up one game short of the 2010 Ohio Valley Conference title, but did win its final four games last season which gives the squad a bit of momentum heading into the 2011 campaign. Two of the wins at the end of 2010 came against the 2011 preseason OVC favorites – Jacksonville State and Murray State.

“It’s certainly better to end the season on a four-game winning streak than a four-game losing streak,” EKU head coach Dean Hood said. “We do have a little bit of a spark so to speak with the offseason and are excited to get next season started.”

The Colonels have plenty of experience and talent returning on both sides of the ball. Nine of 11 starters are back on offense includ-ing junior quarterback T.J. Pryor, who was the 2009 OVC Freshman of the Year. Pryor has started 18 games under center the last two sea-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 selec-tions – 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 capabili-ties,” 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.”

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.

Quarterbacks

Running BacksThere 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 Wil-liams 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 Val-ley Conference.

Season Outlook

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.

Offensive LinemenThe 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 sopho-more, 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 LinemenLast year’s defensive line took pride in limiting the opposition

to an OVC-best 125.5 yards per game rushing. Senior all-confer-ence 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 tack-les 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 defen-sive 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 de-fensive line. He provides more of a physical presence at defen-sive end. Junior college transfer Angelo Villarreal gives Eastern another physical body on the outside.

LinebackersThe 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 EndsTight ends did not have much of an impact on the offense one

season ago as the entire unit hauled in just five receptions. How-ever, 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 .

Wide ReceiversA 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 confer-ence. 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 fol-lowing 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.

Season Outlook

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 con-secutive year .

Caldwell has gotten his hands on 13 career interceptions, three of which have been returned for touchdowns. Last year at Louis-ville, 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 sopho-more totaled 41 tackles and two sacks as a weak side linebacker last fall, but was moved to safety due to his explosive game. Fel-low sophomore Myer Nolan will see valuable time on the outside as well.

Defensive Backs

Special TeamsCoach 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 our-selves 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 at-tempts 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-

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 Colo-nels 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 Mis-souri (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 Ten-nessee 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.”

Personal – Son of Tabatha Caldwell … born on June 16, 1988.

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 ex-cite 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 now-famous Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels had been formed.

The finger-lickin’ Colonel Harlan D. Sanders himself was inducted in 1935.

Like Minutemen of Mas-sachusetts 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 Col-lege’s mascot was already the Colonel and a faction of that school had occupied the Richmond campus before Eastern’s founding.--Courtesy of The Eastern Progress

History of the Colonel

EKU unveiled a new set of athletic logos in the spring of 2006 and followed by design-ing a new mascot that was ready for the 2006 football season.

Dean Hood

Head Coach • 4th Year at EKU (19-15)

Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986

u2008 OVC Coach of the Yearu2008 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 Val-ley 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-Ameri-cans, 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 Univer-sity 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 foot-ball 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 hope-fully 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 champion-ship 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 defen-sive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 intercep-tions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University.

From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State Col-lege, 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 fol-lowing 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

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.

“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.

Dane Damron

Offensive Coordinator • 3rd Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Georgetown College, 1994

Dane Damron, now in his third season on the EKU football staff, was promoted to offensive coordinator this May after spend-ing the previous two years as the special teams coordinator.

Nine of the 11 Colonel offensive starters from last fall are re-turning including junior quarterback T.J. 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 gradu-ate 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.

Before returning to EKU in 2009, Damron served three years as Kentucky Christian University’s head football coach, which culmi-nated 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 (11) and Derek (seven).

Garry Fisher

Linebackers Coach • 3rd Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Bowling Green, 2002

Garry Fisher joined the EKU coaching staff two years ago. He will serve as the linebackers coach in 2011.

The linebacker corp will have a new look this fall as two of the three starters from a year ago graduated, including two-time all-conference performer Jordan Dalrymple.

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 recom-mended 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 coach-ing ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an offensive assis-tant 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.

Fisher has two children – Amari (seven) and Rece (five). He married the former Lucretia Hughes, who has one child – Tseday (eight), in 2010.

Tony Hatmaker

Defensive Coordinator • 4th Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Union College, 1993

Tony Hatmaker was promoted to defensive coordinator this spring following three years as the Colonel defensive backs coach. EKU returns seven of 11 defensive starters this fall from a unit that ranked second in the OVC in scoring defense one year ago.

Hatmaker, who will retain his duties as defensive backs coach in 2011, has helped produce five All-OVC defensive backs in his time at EKU including two-time all-league selection Jeremy Caldwell, who finished fourth nationally with seven interceptions in 2009. 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 almost 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.

Carson Jeffers

Offensive Line Coach • 4th Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Concord College (W.Va.), 1997

Carson Jeffers is in his fourth year on the Eastern coaching staff and third season as the offensive line coach and director of opera-tions.

After working with a revamped offensive line in 2010, Jeffers has an established line returning this season. Four returning start-ers 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 Di-vision 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 Cumber-land 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 Cumber-land University in 2000.

Jeffers is married to the former Lauren Newton of Ripley, W.Va. The couple has a three-year old son – Kaden Blake Jeffers.

Ben Hodges

Tight Ends Coach • 6th Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Central College (Iowa), 2006

Ben Hodges, who is in his sixth year on the Colonel coaching staff, was promoted to tight ends coach and recruiting coordina-tor this past spring. 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 coordina-tor.

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.

Jake Johnson

Defensive Line Coach • 8th Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 2002

Former Colonel Jake Johnson is in his eighth season on the Eastern Kentucky coaching staff and seventh as the team’s defen-sive 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.”

The 2010 defensive line helped the Colonels rank seventh na-tionally in tackles for loss (8.2 per game) and also lead the league in sacks (32). 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 du-ties there included serving as the Bulldogs’ full-time tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach, while also aiding in play-er 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 line-man of the year.

Johnson earned four letters from 1997-2001 and was a fresh-man on the 1997 Colonel team which captured an OVC champi-onship. 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

Wide Receivers Coach • 2nd Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 2007

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 All-OVC 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 sopho-more 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 receiv-ers posted at least 30 catches while two players earned all-confer-ence 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 All-Metro 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 East-ern Kentucky University. Koester is married to the former Angie Kuntz of Danville, Ill.

John Revere

Running Backs Coach • 15th Year at EKU

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 two-deep 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 mid-way 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 hous-ing, 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 Mc-Cord (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 Se-ahawks, 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. A preseason first team All-

OVC pick as a senior, he served as co-captain of the 1975 squad that posted an 8-2-1 record. 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.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – After a very compet-itive 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 con-vert 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 touch-down 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.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky out-scored Louisville 13-0 in the second half, but the Colonels’ rally fell short as the host Car-dinals 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 touch-down 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.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – In a game that featured almost 850 yards of total offense, it seemed as though most of the bounces went to host Chattanooga as the Mocs defeated Eastern Kentucky, 42-24.

UTC scored on its opening possession to jump out to an early 7-0 lead. On Chattanoo-ga’s second drive, it looked as though junior defensive back Jeremy Caldwell would tally his second interception of the season. Howev-er, 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 fin-ished 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 pos-session, 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.

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 touch-down runs of 62 and 31 yards in the fourth

quarter. Junior Kyle Lumpkin ran for 84 yards and scored once. Quarter-back 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 in-terception 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. Russell completed both of his attempts for 13 yards.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky sophomore quarterback T.J. Pryor rushed for three touchdowns in the first half and threw for another touchdown in the fourth quarter to lead the Colonels to a convincing 35-7 victory over Eastern Illinois Saturday night at Roy Kidd Stadium.

EKU ran for a season-high 287 yards and also forced the Panthers into six turnovers.

Pryor rushed for 78 yards on 11 carries and completed 9-of-20 passes for 85 yards. 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 pick-ing 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. Senior Bruce Frieson followed with a 15-yard touchdown run and Eastern Kentucky had a 28-7 lead.

Six minutes into the fourth quarter EKU took advantage of a short field again after junior Patrick McClellan returned an interception 15 yards to the Eastern Illinois’ 31-yard line.

MARTIN, Tenn. – UT Martin earned its first ever win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday as the host Skyhawks earned a hard fought 10-7 win. The Colonels had been 20-0 all-time against UT Martin before today’s game.

UT Martin quarterback Derek Carr found Daniel Chamberlain for a 28-yard touchdown completion with 5:06 left in the game to give

the Skyhawks the win.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 32-yard field goal attempt miss wide left.

The Skyhawks converted two third down attempts on their game-win-ning 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 53-yard 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 sec-ond half. The Skyhawks outgained the Colonels, 223 to 77, in the second half.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky went on top by a touchdown with four minutes left in the game and then stopped Murray State on fourth down with 37 seconds left for a 28-21 Homecoming victory Saturday at Roy Kidd Stadium.

EKU has now won nine of the last 10 meet-ings against the Racers.

After a third-down sack by redshirt fresh-man Anthony Brown pushed the Racers back to their own five yard line, the Colonels got

the ball at the Murray 38-yard line with 5:26 left in the game. Quarterback T.J. Pryor picked up eight yards on the first play, but EKU gained just one more yard on the next two plays. On 4th-and-1, Pryor found a hole on the left side and raced in from 29 yards out for the go-ahead score with 4:19 on the clock.

EKU forced the Racers to punt on their next possession, but the Colo-nel offense couldn’t pick up a first down and gave the ball back with 2:58 left to play. MSU drove to the Eastern 21 yard line, but Casey Brockman was sacked by junior Emory Attig for an eight-yard loss. On 3rd-and-18, sophomore Brooklyn Fox nearly intercepted the ball at the goal line before it fell to the ground. Brockman’s fourth down pass was caught on the sideline but the receiver couldn’t stay inbounds.

Murray State entered the game averaging 34.7 points and more than 400 yards per game. The Racers finished with 373 yards, including 290 through the air, but converted just four of their 19 third downs.

Pryor rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns while completing 10-of-17 pass attempts for 140 yards. Sophomore Orlandus Harris caught five passes for 74 yards.

For Murray State, Brockman went 31-for-56 for 299 yards but did not toss a touchdown pass. Mike Harris ran for 63 yards and scored two touchdowns for the Racers.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky beat No. 2 Jacksonville State University, 49-37, on a cold Saturday night at Roy Kidd Stadium. The loss snapped a 12-game winning streak for the visiting Gamecocks.

through the air including 328 in the second half after falling behind by 18 points.

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.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Eastern Kentucky University earned its first road of the season with a 42-29 victory over Tennessee Tech Satur-day afternoon.

The EKU offense was clicking all afternoon, moving the ball 214 yards on the ground and 279 yards through the air. Sophomore quar-terback 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.

Jocques Craw-ford 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 touch-down 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.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky rallied in the second half and defeated Austin Peay, 17-3, Saturday afternoon on Senior Day at Roy Kidd Stadium. 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 re-turned 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 posses-sion as he picked off a pass deep in EKU’s territory that halted a danger-ous 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.

OVC All-Time Member List

Beth DeBaucheOVC Commissioner

Kyle SchwartzAsst. Commissioner for Media Relations

Entering its 64th year, the Ohio Valley Con-ference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference.

In May 2011 the OVC expanded for the sec-ond time in four years, adding Belmont Univer-sity 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. 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 I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time.

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 sig-nificant 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 in-stitutions 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 Subdivi-sion school (UMass) has won more league titles than the Colonels.

Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football cham-pionship, 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 ear-ly 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 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, ten-nis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

EKU Football History

Eastern Kentucky University possesses one of the richest tradi-tions in all of college football, and the future appears to be just as bright as the past. Now in its second century of football, the cur-rent group of Colonels hopes to leave its mark in the EKU annals just as the first 100 teams put together ‘A Century of Excellence.’

EKU football has come a long way since the first organized game was played in 1909 on Stateland Field, and much of the credit is given to Roy Kidd, an All-American quarterback at Eastern in 1953, who returned to his alma mater in 1963 and proceeded to build a national powerhouse.

Kidd’s 39-year record at East-ern concluded in 2002 with 315 wins, 123 losses and eight ties, for a remarkable .716 winning percentage. He was twice chosen National I-AA Coach of the Year and was recently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as well as the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame.

The popularity of Eastern football grew so rapidly in the 1960s that Hanger Stadium, the home of the Maroons (the school’s nickname later became Colonels) since 1936, was too small for the large enthusiastic crowds. Eastern paid “old” Hanger a fitting farewell in 1968 as it thrashed rival Morehead State, 35-7. A new era in EKU football began the following year when the Colonels moved to Hanger Field, a modern 20,000-seat facility. Eastern christened its new playing field with a 29-10 drubbing of Austin Peay. In 1990, the stadium portion of the football complex was named in honor of Roy Kidd. The Colonels defeated the University of Cen-tral Florida that day, 24-12.

There have been many memorable moments in the rich heritage of Eastern football. One came in 1967 when EKU, the OVC champion, won the NCAA Mideast Regional championship by defeating Ball State, 27-13, in the Grantland Rice Bowl. Another occurred in 1954 when Eastern’s third regular season undefeated team (the first was in 1940) made the school’s first bowl appearance only to fall to the University of Omaha, 7-6, in the Tangerine Bowl.

Under the guidance of Coach Kidd on Dec. 18, 1982, EKU capped a perfect 13-0 season by defeating Delaware in the NCAA Division I-AA title game, 17-14, for the University’s second na-

tional championship.That victory marked Eastern’s fourth-straight appearance in

the Division I-AA championship game, having also won the title in 1979 while taking the runner-up trophies in both 1980 and 1981.

Kidd’s status among the coaching profession was well-known, but Eastern has had other suc-cessful coaches during its foot-ball history. Previous coaches include James Park (1909), Clyde Wilson (1910-11), Charles Keith (1912), Ben Bernard (1913-16), Clyde McCoy (1919-21), George Hembree (1922-28) , Charles “Turkey” Hughes (1929-34), Rome Rankin (1935-42, 1945-46), Tom Samuels (1947-53), Glenn Presnell (1954-63), and Danny Hope (2003-07).

Dean Hood, the program’s 13th head coach, took his current position in January 2008. The former Eastern Kentucky defen-sive coordinator had previously served five years (1994-98) as an assistant coach under Kidd. Just like Kidd and Hope, Hood has vowed to maintain the winning tradition that has become syn-onymous with Eastern football.

Under Hood’s guidance in 2008, Eastern Kentucky captured its second consecutive Ohio Valley Conference crown, and 20th overall, after holding off UT Martin in the regular season finale in dramatic fashion thanks to a game-ending blocked field goal. EKU was among the na-tional leaders in turnover margin (+14) in 2008 and capitalized by turning five turnovers into 24 points against UTM in the de facto OVC championship game.

Since the OVC was organized in 1948, Eastern has won 16 reg-ular season titles outright (1954, ’67, ’68, ’74, ’76, ’81, ’82, ’83, ’84, ’88, ’91, ’93, ’94, ’97, ’07 and ’08), shared four titles (1962, ’86, ’87 and ’90) and to date ranks first in the conference all-time standings with a 300-116-7 record.

EKU football has produced 56 All-Americans and has had 40 players drafted into the profes-sional ranks. Two of the best known former Eastern players

are 1972 All-American Wally Chambers, who was voted 1973 NFC Defensive Rookie of the Year as a tackle with the Chicago Bears, and 1993 All-American Chad Bratzke, who spent 11 years with the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts as a pass-rushing defensive end.

NCAA FCS History

The 2011 year marks the 34th season for the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) (formerly Division I-AA) play-offs, and for a second straight year a 20-team bracket will be used for the championship. More than 120 schools (including provi-sional 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 open-ing 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 champion-ship. 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 champi-onship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams), the 1986 championship (16 teams) and the 2010 championship (20 teams).--Courtesy of College Sporting News web site

Roy Kidd Stadium

Roy Kidd Stadium, Hanger Field and the Robert B. Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics com-plexes 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 Aus-tin 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 transfor-mation 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 play-ing field, has working space for 87 media representatives, includ-ing 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 class-room space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Championship Seasons

There have been many successful years of Eastern Kentucky football, but a few truly stand out as memorable and historic seasons.

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 champion-ship. 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 touch-down 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 specta-tors stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Satur-day afternoon.

One of the most memorable goal-line stands in Eastern his-tory 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 appear-ance 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.

In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colo-nels 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 Colo-nels 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 second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colo-nels 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-confer-ence 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-confer-ence game came the following week when 15 records fell for the

Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon earned All-OVC honors in 1967.

1967 Mideast Region Champions

“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.”

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 tremen-dous 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.

Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began omi-nously 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 wear-ing 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.

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 rank-ing 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.

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 representa-tive.

EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network an-nouncer 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 hav-ing 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, keep-ing 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 de-fense 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 Engi-neers of Lehigh University in the national championship game.

“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 win-ners from the very first game of that season.”

Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, total-ing 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 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 remem-brance 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 open-ing 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 inspira-tion 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 champion-ship team.”

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.”

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 sec-ond 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 down-field 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 runner-up trophy.

Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982.

Kidd, who was honored at the conclusion of the 1980 season as the Chevrolet and ABC Sports I-AA National Coach of the Year, welcomed back 36 lettermen for the 1981 season as EKU went 10-1 through regular season play with the only blemish coming at Division I-A Navy.

Following the loss to the Midshipmen in the third game of the year, sophomore tailback Terence Thompson’s effort against the University of Akron started the Colonels on a 10-game winning streak that would send EKU into the national title contest with a 12-1 record. On that day in September, Thompson rushed for a then-school record 293 yards and tied another school mark in that same game as he found paydirt four times on runs of 18, 66, 78 and 93 yards.

Eastern’s 19-11 victory at Hanger Field over Western Kentucky gave the Colonels sole possession of first place in the OVC. That win was preserved when defensive tackle Randy Tay-lor sacked Hilltopper quarterback Ralph Antone late in the game. Two weeks later, EKU clinched its seventh conference crown and first since 1976 when the Colonels demolished Tennessee Tech, 63-20.

In the first round of the playoffs which had expanded that year to three rounds, EKU hosted Tubby Raymond’s Delaware Blue Hens in a shootout. Colonel quarterback Chris Isaac hit flanker Ranard McPhaul on a 32-yard scoring pass midway through the final quarter to give Eastern the lead. Later, defensive back Gus Parks ended any Delaware hopes of springing the upset with an interception as EKU held on for a 35-28 victory, sending Eastern into a rematch of the 1980 national title game with a semifinal contest at Boise, Idaho, against the BSU Broncos.

On a windy, snowswept lake-blue color Astro-turf field before 22,000 rabid Bronco fans, Eastern avenged its devastating loss the year before to BSU by handing Boise State a 23-17 defeat on the strength of three Jamie Lovett barefoot-kicked field goals.

For the third straight year, Eastern found itself in the national championship game, this time in Wichita Falls, Texas, in a Pioneer Bowl appear-ance against Idaho State. Bengal quarterback Mike Machurek’s accurate touch was too much for the Colonel defense as he completed 29-of-44 passes for 330 yards and four scores as Idaho State won the national crown with a 34-23 deci-sion over the Colonels.

A remarkable season that was highlighted among other excit-ing plays by flanker Jerry Parrish’s 87-yard run on a reverse for a score in Eastern’s 14-3 win over Dayton; senior roverback and 1999 College Football Hall of Fame inductee George Floyd’s game-saving interception in a 24-20 defeat of Murray State, one of a school-record 10 interceptions that season; and the emergence of “The Bruise Brothers” at linebacker – junior Alex Dominguez and sophomore David Hill – had come to its conclusion with Eastern finishing the year ranked No. 1 in the nation with a final 12-2 overall record.

“You really can’t be sad about this season,” recalled EKU of-fensive line coach Tom Jones. “You’ve got to realize not everyone gets to the finals … especially three years in a row.”

Quarterback Tuck Woolum threw for 1,923 yards and 14 touchdowns in the undefeated 1982 season.

The string of four straight national championship game ap-pearances would end in 1982 during the most magical of seasons which culminated in an undefeated 13-0 record, a No. 1 national ranking and the school’s second national football crown.

The ’82 year began with a nail-biter at Orangeburg, S.C., against South Carolina State. Eastern was trailing 19-17 late in the game when defensive end Allen Young blocked a Bulldog punt, setting up Lovett’s game-winning 39-yard field goal.

“We tried to keep the ball in the middle of the goal posts,” Kidd said. “We noticed that the ones he had missed were from the hashmarks.”

Before the game-winning kick, Lovett groomed his spot

to attempt the field goal by pulling the tall grass from the turf, leveling a smoother surface in which to kick. His quick work brought the needed result as his field goal fluttered through the uprights to start the Colonels on their unde-feated year.

This win featured quarterback Tuck Woolum in his first start for the Colonels and he re-sponded with a 14-of-28 afternoon passing for 209 yards, including a 70-yard strike to tight end Tron Armstrong.

In the fifth game of the year, a 35-10 win over Middle Tennessee, split end Steve Bird was named OVC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Blue Raiders which included six receptions for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Tailback Eddie Hairston aided the cause by rushing for 155 yards and a score as the Colonels solidified their No. 1 ranking and set up the daunting task ahead of going to Bowling Green and doing battle with Western Kentucky.

For the first time since 1968 when Eastern defeated Western 16-7 in the dedication game of the Hilltoppers’ L.T. Smith Stadium, the Colonels came away with a victory. A Woolum-to-Bird 49-yard touchdown pass got the scoring underway for EKU, as Terrence Thompson returned from

an ankle injury to rush for four scores and 143 yards in the 35-21 Colonel win.

The Eastern defense, led by Taylor, Dominguez, Hill, nose-guard Mike McShane, Parks and defensive back Anthony Jones shut down the Western attack that afternoon with the win run-ning the Colonels’ record to 6-0.

And then it was time for “The Game” – the contest that is still talked about and etched in the memory banks of all diehard Colonel fans.

Murray State was the opponent, a national TV audience watched on the SuperStation TBS and 18,100 fans were in atten-dance on a beautiful October night.

To win this game and keep its record unblemished for the year, Eastern had to mount a 16-play, 73-yard drive that featured an

unheard-of three fourth-down conversions, including one fourth-down run by fullback Nicky Yeast that netted eight inches on a fourth and six-inch situation.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combina-tion 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 stu-dents 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 An-thony 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 de-feated 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 over-thrown 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.

The second round of the playoffs found Eastern hosting the big, fast, talented Tennessee State Tigers who featured arguably one of the best teams to ever play at Hanger Field with players like defensive end Richard Dent, running back James Hunter and fullback Larry Kinnebrew on the roster.

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 Dela-ware 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 busi-ness. 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,” contin-ued 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.

Can we say the word DYNASTY?

National Football Foundation Hall of Famers

George Floyd, former defensive back for Eastern Kentucky University from 1978-81, was among the 1999 Divisional Class of In-ductees for the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame. 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 champion-ship 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 Val-ley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touch-down. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career intercep-tion 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 Gal-limore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Cen-tre 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).

George Floyd (inducted 1999) Roy Kidd (inducted 2003)The National Football Foundation and Col-

lege 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 10-time 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 Ath-letic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor.

A past president of the American Football Coaches Associa-tion, 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.

100 Years of Football / EKU Athletics Hall of Fame

The Eastern Kentucky University Department of Athletics celebrated 100 Years of Football: A Century of Excellence in the fall of 2009. 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, play-ers 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.

On Dec. 14, 2005, Eastern Kentucky University announced the creation of an Athletics Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individu-als 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, featur-ing 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 Mur-ray State the following day.

The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athlet-ics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selec-tion 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 Nas-sida, Buddy Pfaadt, Joe Richard, Charles Shuster, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliff Tin-nell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Editor’s NoteThe following list was compiled from various sources during the spring of 2007. Although all cau-tions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the im-mensity 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.
