The home for Jacksonville State football for the past 62 years has been Paul Snow Stadium and is currently in the midst of its third major reno-vation.Long ago, in the days when Jacksonville State University went by Jacksonville State Teachers College and the athletic teams were nick-named the “Eagle Owls,” football was played in a field next to John Forney National Guard Armory.In 1946 as JSU began to change, enrollment begin to rise and so did the popularity of football. Seeing the need for a new facility, the school built a stadium in the present location and it was dedicated in front of an overflow crowd at the 1947 Homecoming game against Pembroke. The Gamecocks went on to win that game and posted a perfect 9-0 season, including a 7-0 win over Florida State.The “College Bowl” as it was called, got its present name in 1961. During Homecoming, the stadium was dedicated to longtime JSU sup-porter Paul Snow.Paul Snow Stadium got a face lift in 1965 when seating was expanded from 5,000 to 8,500 and a new press box was installed on the north side of the facility. Under the supervision of long-time Athletic Director Jerry N. Cole, the field house was constructed in 1977 and the expansion of the stadium was complete in time for the 1978 season when the student section was added to bring the capacity to 15,000.Since Paul Snow Stadium opened in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 230-92-8 record at home. Under Crowe, the Gamecocks are 31-15 all-time at home. Paul Snow Stadium is currently in the midst of a $47 million expansion. The new facility will consist of seven stories, with the bottom four floors dedicated to nearly 400 dorm beds. The top three floors will include 33 luxury skyboxes, a new press area, coaches booths, radio and television broadcast facilities, and a game management booth. The stadium will also include the addition of 5,258 seats and will push the capacity of Paul

Snow Stadium to 24,000. The natural playing surface at Paul Snow Stadium was replaced during the summer of 2005 to an artificial playing turf. It was the first major renovation to the stadium since the 1978 season. It took three monts to install at a cost of just over $700,000 and was completed in time to hold summer graduation on the new playing field.Improvements in 2007 included two new scoreboards and the addition of “Gamecock Vision” a new video replay scoreboard. It is located in the east endzone and features a 14’ x 24’ ProStar VideoPlus Display that is one of the largest in the OVC. The video replay system utilizes the V-Link 4000 Video Processor and the Venus 7000 Controler. The score-board now spans 8’ by 48’ with LED Team Name Message Centers. On the Gamecock Field House, a new scoreboard was installed as Paul Snow Stadium becomes the only school in the OVC with two score-boards. The new boards feature a state of the art control booth, located under the east end zone.Jacksonville State’s first win in renovated Paul Snow Memorial Stadium came the hard way, in 1978, but it is one Gamecock fans remember well.The Gamecocks, facing the top defensive team in the nation, came up with several clutch plays to register a 10-7 victory over Southeastern Louisiana of Hammond, Louisiana.Jax State used a touchdown pass from Mike Watts to Donald Young and a field goal by Rocky Riddle to down SLU. The first loss in the stadium came at the hands of Nicholls State earlier in the first home game , 19-17. JSU led 17-7, but two long scoring plays and a last minute touch-down cost JSU the win.The record for a single-game crowd for a football game at Paul Snow Stadium was set in 2003 versus Alabama A&M when 16,851 fans wit-nessed the Gamecocks claimed a 20-17 win over the Bulldogs.

WHO WAS PAUL SNOW?A 1933 graduate of Jacksonville State Teacher’s College, Paul H. Snow loved his alma mater. A native of Birmingham, he played football with Jax State great Barto Hughes, but his real love was helping JSU grow and promoting the sport of football.After graduation, Snow continued to promote Jax State by helping to recruit the Jefferson County area for students and by establishing scholarships for freshmen men.A teacher in the Jefferson County School System, Snow

coached and taught math and science at Springdale Dr. William A. Meehan and Mrs. Paul Snow

PAUL SNOW MEMORIAL STADIUM

Junior High School. After 10 years in the classroom, he left education and started a real estate and insur-ance business.An enthusiastic alumnus, Snow stayed in contact with his alma mater. In 1955, he was appointed to the State Board of Education and was the Alumni Association President from 1955-56. He remained in his State Board post until his death in 1957, at age 48.“He was a fellow authority,” said former JSU presi-dent Dr. Houston Cole. “He was a close friend of the University. Few graduates of Jacksonville State have returned more to the institution than Paul Snow.”

The Jacksonville State Football Network continues to provide Gamecock Fans the best cover-age of JSU Football throughout the southeast.

The anchor of the Gamecock Football Network is K-98 (WVOK-FM) in Oxford, Ala., and the Jacksonville State University campus station WLJS-FM 91.9. WKXX-FM, 102.9 FM, will once again cover northeast Alabama from Gadsden.

In addition, the JSU Sports Network affiliates will allow Gamecock football to be heard

in four southeast states and can reach a worldwide audience on the Internet at www.JSUGamecockSports.com.

The Jacksonville State broadcast team will be led by one of the most experienced crews in the Ohio Valley Conference.

The “Voice of the Gamecocks” is Mike Parris, who called his first JSU contest in 1983, enters his 27th year as the lead announcer of Jacksonville State sports. He handles all the play-by-play duties of Jacksonville State athletics radio broadcasts.

During his tenure, he has called some of the most historic and memorable games in Jacksonville Sate athletics history. He has called the four Jacksonville State national title games – football (1992), basketball (1985) and baseball (1990, 1991), plus other noteworthy contests.

Parris is the Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Broadcasting at Jacksonville State University.

Ed Lett begins his fourth season of providing color commentary on the Gamecock Football Network. Lett, a four-year letter-men and former JSU All-American, was named the Gulf South Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 1981 and again in 1982.

The Glencoe, Ala., native holds several school records, including career records in passing yards (7,145), attempts (1,027), completions (563), touchdowns (61) and he finished his career with 6,774 yards of total offense.

JSU ACADEMIC SERVICESThe mission of the Jacksonville State Football Academic Center is to help each student-athlete achieve his maximum potential through academic, personal and career enhance-ment while upholding the standards of honor, integrity and professionalism at Jacksonville State University.The Football Academic Center is located on the second floor of the Gamecock Field House. The Center is a state-of-the-art facility equipped with the latest technology and is rated as the best in the Ohio Valley Conference among the football playing institutions.“The Academic Center was designed with the student-athlete in mind,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe. “It is one of the most comprehensive academic support facilities in the Ohio Valley Conference.”Ensuring that our student-athletes are on the correct path to success is important to Jacksonville State. The Athletic Department employs two full-time academic advisors and the football program has a graduate assistant that works in the Academic Center seven days a week. Together, the staff monitors the student-athletes’ academic performance to ensure the continued fulfillment of progress toward degree requirements. This process includes academic progress reports during the semester and individualized aca-demic planning for each student.All student-athletes are also required to meet with an aca-demic advisory prior to registering for classes to ensure a class schedule that meets degree requirements and meshes with practice times.Each student-athlete meets regularly with the academic support staff. The meetings help solve problems concerning classwork and overall academic performance. The emphasis of the program centers on the idea of a “proactive” approach rather than a “reactive” approach. Coaches and academic advisors try to set the academic tone early and to be as thorough as possible in planning for each student-athlete’s academic success.

QUARTERBACKS“We’ve never had a better situation, in terms of statistical players, than we do this year. Ryan (Perrilloux) is returning for his senior year and

I have every expectation that he will compete at a high level. Behind him, we hope to have Marquis Ivory ready to play. I have an initial thought of having him play in every ball game.”

RUNNING BACKS“Possibly, run-ning backs are going to be the big-gest challenge

for this football team. We have Brandon George returning and he had an incredible season. I’m anticipating him to continue improv-ing. We added Jamal Young, a junior college running back, who led the Mississippi Junior colleges in rushing. He provides some big play potential. Without mentioning any more names, I will say that I expect that position to have multiple players.”

FULLBACKSAlphonso Freeney is returning for his third year as a starter. He is recovering from a non-surgical knee injury. We are also looking for the continued development of Calvin Middleton, who had a promi-nent role on this team last year. We also have Jahron Brown, who is a freshman. We’re anxious to see what kind of contribution he can bring to this team. ”

TIGHT ENdS“I’ve never been on a team that has this many play-ready tight ends. We have one senior, one junior, and one sophomore. They could dictate our personality offensively.”

OFFENSIVE LINE“We have a chance to make a considerable step forward with the offensive line because we have some players returning who have been

in some games. However, we are not set on who the starting five are. We have an experienced center who could be an all-star candidate. We have an experienced offensive tackle in Curt Porter. Tyler Ogletree, Matt Jones, Tylor Chambers, Devon Hayes, Matt Washington, and Justin Kay could all potentially receive a spot in those next three positions.”

WIdE RECEIVERS“Wide receiver is a position of expected productivity. James Wilkerson is our returning starter. He has continued to improve to a level that might see him as an all-conference candidate. On the other side is a first-year player, but not a young player, named Greg Smith, who is a transfer from Georgia Tech. Greg had some good numbers for Georgia Tech as a sophomore. Those are two game-ready wide receiv-ers. We will also expect a lot from John Houston Whiddon, who is an extremely ver-satile player offen-sively. Others who might contribute are James Shaw, LaRay Williams, Rayce Whiddon, and Alan Bonner.”

dEFENSIVE LINE“Our defensive line could be the best we’ve had in quite some time. We have a returning all-conference player in Brandt Thomas. I don’t know that we’ve ever had a returning all-conference player; that in itself says that we have hopefully a higher standard. Along with him we have Santez Mays and a mixture of other players competing for the remaining spots. They include Monte’ Lewis, Jamison Wadley, and Mike Ellis. We also have a group of young men who we feel are ready to take it to the next level and they are Rodney Garrott, Demetrio Tyson, and Brett Gloyd. We expect with all of this to have depth and be able to rotate people and to stay fresh in that area.”

He has a lot of talent and we have confidence in him. The kicking job has no names to mention; it will be a game day decision. Patrick could possibly be kicking, too.”

dEFENSIVE BACKS“Carnell Clark, who is an all-conference player, leads us in the secondary. We also have a very credible player in Josh Cain. I believe he could possibly be recognized post-season. At corner, we are seeing the development of two very fine players, T. J. Heath and A. J. Davis. Both of them played majority of the time last year and are still evolving into quality players. Depth is an issue because they’re all very young. Jason Horton, Keginald Harris, and Nick Johnson are all players who haven’t gotten their opportunity yet.”

Head CoaCH JaCk Crowe’s Position-by-Position outlook

Josh Cain Carnell Clark

STAdIUM IMPROVEMENTS“We are improving in many areas, but nowhere is it more obvious than on the south side of our stadium. The magnitude of the improvement represents an intent to put a team of national credibility on the field. We have every intent and expectation that a team that plays in one of the top five stadiums in our country will themselves be a top five team.”

MEET THE HEAD COACH

Jacksonville State begins its seventh year in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2009 and Jack Crowe says that 2009 could be a season to remember after the Gamecocks posted their sixth-straight win-ning season last year.

The 2008 Gamecocks posted an 8-3 overall record and fell just four points away from claim-ing the school’s third Ohio Valley Conference Championship. Jax State, which won Back-to-Back OVC Championships

in 2003 and 2004, was the last team left out of the 16-team NCAA playoffs last year.

Jax State was ranked in the FCS poll for six weeks during the 2008 season, including a No. 22 ranking in the final poll. Most national publications have the Gamecocks ranked in the 2009 preseason polls, including three in the Top 20. Senior quarterback Ryan Perrilloux also has been named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List, which is awarded to the FCS National Player of the Year.

On the field, Crowe is a proven winner. He’s a skilled manager who brings to Gamecock football expertise, an eye for evaluating talent, and a personality that has energized the program.

The 2004 Gamecocks earned their second-straight Ohio Valley Conference Championship with an impressive 7-1 league record and finished the regular-season with an incredible 9-1 overall record. For his efforts, Crowe was named the Roy Kidd OVC Football Coach of the Year by his peers for the 2004 season.

Jax State advanced to the post-season for the second straight season and was ranked in the NCAA I-AA football Top 25 for 8-of-12 weeks during the championship season and rolled up some impressive offensive numbers. As a matter of fact, the Gamecocks gained at least 300 yards of total offense in 23-of-24 OVC contests during the span. The Gamecocks also had 11 games with at least 400 yards of total offense and five games with more than 500 yards.

In 2003, his squad posted an impressive 7-1 league mark and claimed the Ohio Valley Conference Championship with a 22-17 win over Southeast Missouri State on Nov. 22, leading the Gamecocks to their first-ever Division I-AA play-off berth.

Beginning his 10th season guiding Jax State, Crowe was hired as the 11th head football coach in the modern day era on Nov. 22, 1999, and he has helped return the Gamecock football tradition.

Jax State is the winningest team – by percentage – in the Ohio Valley Conference since joining the league in 2003. The Gamecocks have

won 75 percent of their games, posting a 36-12 record. Eastern Kentucky is second with a 72.3 all-time winning percentage, while Eastern Illinois has a 69.1 winning percentage.

A native of Birmingham, Crowe has coached over 30 years at some of the top programs in the country. During his career, he has worked at Auburn, Baylor, Arkansas, Clemson and Wyoming on the Division 1-A level and also has college coaching stints at North Alabama and Livingston (now West Alabama).

Crowe was named the head coach at Arkansas in January of 1990 after serving one year as offensive coordinator. He coached the Razorbacks to the 1991 Independence Bowl as head coach and the 1990 Cotton Bowl as an assistant, posting a 19-14 record. He was offensive coor-dinator at Baylor from 1993 to 1995 and led the Bears to the 1994 conference championship.

He spent three years as the offensive coordinator at Clemson, where the Tigers posted a 29-6-1 record and won three-straight Atlantic Coast Conference Championships. His offense led the ACC in rush-ing in each of his three seasons. Under his guidance, Clemson played twice in the Florida-Citrus Bowl and once in the Gator Bowl.

Crowe spent four seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Auburn before moving to Clemson. The Tigers led the SEC twice in total offense and three times in rushing. Auburn played in the Florida-Citrus, Sugar, Liberty and Cotton Bowl games, and Bo Jackson became a Heisman Trophy winner under Crowe’s tutelage.

Crowe spent the 1981 season at Wyoming, where the Cowboys finished 8-3. From 1978-80, he was the offensive coordinator at North Alabama. The Lions went 17-7 and won the 1980 Gulf South Conference title. He served as offensive coordinator at Livingston for three seasons (1974-76) before being elevated to head coach at age 28.

Crowe got his start in coaching without play-ing college football. He played football and baseball at West End High School in Birmingham, then went to Jefferson State Junior College, where he stuck to baseball.

He transferred to UAB and, after gradu-ating with a degree in chemistry, became an assistant at West End High School. A year later, he became offensive coordinator at Oxford High School, where the Yellow Jackets posted a 21-1-1 record and two conference titles.

Crowe is married to the former LeAnn Gaines of Anniston.

“Go Eagle Owls!” would be the resound-ing cry from Paul Snow Stadium today if ardent fans hadn’t decided 50 years ago that the school mascot should be a bird of a dif-ferent feather.Jacksonville State University’s first football team was fielded in the late 1800’s and nicknamed in honor of a rare predatory bird found near the Arctic circle.The exact details are lost to history, but a group of fans decided it was hard for the school’s image to soar like an eagle if the team’s name was something of a turkey. People like E.C. Wilson, Bruce Chase and Charles Sprayberry felt a more collegiate-sounding moniker would be more appro-priate.The supporters looked to Southern culture rather than the north pole to symbol-ize the school’s tough spirit. Tongue firmly planted in beak, Gamecock supporters crowed the loudest, and the University found itself with a new identity: a mascot familiar to everyone, including the farm boys who comprised most of the student body back then.For nearly a half-century – up until 1946 – the fledgling Eagle Owls hooted with pride from the scanty facilities adjacent to the field at John Forney National Guard Armory.The State Normal School (SNS) team was sparse by today’s stan-dards, but the gridiron action was competitive from the start. Present day rivalries such as Samford (Howard College)

and Troy State were rooted in those early games.The team had only 23 players when SNS was renamed Jacksonville Teachers College in 1946, with Head Coach Don Salls beginning his first season, but there was a “big school” atmosphere developing in the foothills.Along with the new name came new colors. The blue and gold were tossed out in favor of the familiar red and white worn by the area high school players.

The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl nickname and those who wanted new col-ors. Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot.It was all worked out by 1947 when the Fighting Gamecocks took to the field for the first time. And, as is true to the nature of the warlike bird itself, the football team and other athletes fought their way to respectability in intercollegiate ranks - even-tually bringing home a national champion-ship in every major sport.

Academic Affairs JSU seeks to be recognized as the premier regional, comprehensive institution of higher learning in the Southeast. We aspire to be noted primarily for our focus on students, the provision of selected academic and professional programs recognized for their excellence, and a geo

graphic and culturally diverse faculty and student body. Our educational programs are designed to prepare students for the marketplace of the future and citizenship in a world economy.

From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instruc-tors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school.The Normal School remained in operation until 1930, when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The name again changed to Jacksonville State College in 1957

when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature autho-rized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.Jacksonville State University has been served by 11 presidents: James G. Ryals, Jr. (1883-85), J. Harris Chappell (1885-86), Carleton Bartlett Gibson (1886-92), J. B. Jarrett (1892-93), Jacob Forney IV (1893-99), Clarence William Daugette (1899-1942), Houston Cole (1942-71), Ernest Stone (1971-81), Theron E. Montgomery (1981-86), Harold J. McGee (1986-99), and William A. Meehan (1999-present).Jacksonville State University has developed into a modern regional university serving Northeast Alabama on a 392-acre campus with 63 buildings. In addition, the University operates an off-campus center in Gadsden and videoconferencing sites throughout Alabama and Northwest Georgia. Through its programs of teaching, research, and service, Jacksonville State University has served the region and state for more than 100 years.

GAMeCoCK CLUbThe upcoming 2009-10 season marks the 26th anniversary of the Gamecock Club that supports all 16 sports spon-sored by Jacksonville State. The foun-dation’s primary goal is the help JSU maintain one of the top athletic pro-grams in the country.

The Gamecock Club, which is known as the right arm of the JSU Athletic Department, originated in 1969 when a group of almost a dozen fans of the football team decided to help raise money to support a tutorial program.

The small band of fans became the Jacksonville State University Honorary Coaches Association and the University’s first booster club. In 1983, the Honorary Coaches, who had

primarily supported football, voted to expand the group’s support to all sports. Four years later, the group changed its’ name to the Gamecock Club.

Years later and with more than 30 years of history, the Gamecock Club is com-mitted to supporting all athletic pro-grams at Jacksonville State University.

Hosts of alumni and zealous fans of Gamecock Athletics have joined in a region-wide campaign to help aid in the education of the men and women who proudly wear the RED and WHITE.

In addition to receiving a sense of pride and personal satisfaction from investing in the lives of JSU student-athletes, Gamecock Club members

receive certain other benefits including priority in purchasing certain season tickets; private and semiprivate parking at home athletic contests; access to the Gamecock Center during JSU athletic events; and various other membership recognition items.

Your tax-deductible contribution to the Gamecock Club will provide operat-ing and athletics aid to all 16 sports. In addition, your support will provide aid for unbudgeted expenses and other related areas that continue the success of JSU Athletics.

To join the Gamecock Club, call the JSU Athletic Department at 256-782-5536.

Dr. William A. Meehan begins his 11th year as President at Jacksonville State University, but his association with the University dates back to

when he enrolled as a first-time freshman in 1968.

Dr. Meehan completed the Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1972 and began a career in education that same year. He earned the Master’s of Science degree in Biology at Jacksonville State University in December of 1976 and returned in January 1977 to serve as an instructor in the Department of Biology. He completed a Doctorate of Education in the field of higher educa-tion administration from the University of Alabama and began the role of President on July 1, 1999.

Since 1977, Dr. Meehan has served in numerous administrative and teaching positions at the University. Among these are Coordinator of Medical Technology Program, Director of Academic Advisement, Assistant

Vice President for Academic Affairs, Associate Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Acting Vice President for Institutional Advancement.

Dr. Meehan is well aware of the benefits of college athlet-ics and what athletics adds to the college experience.

“I’m very proud of the fact that we have won 37 Ohio Valley Conference Championships and two Women’s All-Sports Trophy since joining the Conference in 2003,” said Meehan. “We have claimed conference titles in football, rifle, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s golf , women’s golf, softball and baseball. We have enjoyed post-season competition in many of our sports, which brings national exposure and prestige to our University. As a matter of fact, we have won 13 more OVC titles than any other school in the Conference since 2003.

“Our student-athletes excel, not only on the fields of com-petition, but also in the classroom,” added Meehan. “I’m proud to say that we have more than 130 of our student-athletes with a 3.0 grade point average or higher.”

In 2009-2010 and beyond, Dr. Meehan hopes to more accurately accomplish the institution’s mission, which means integrating traditional academic programs with career-oriented programs for the students of Alabama.

The home for Jacksonville State football for the past 61 years has been Paul Snow Stadium.In 1946, JSU changed a little bit. Enrollment went up and so did the popularity of football. Seeing the need for a new facility, the school built a stadium in the present location and it was dedicated in front of an overflow crowd at the 1947 Homecoming game against Pembroke. The Gamecocks went on to win that game and posted a perfect season, 9-0, including a 7-0 win over Florida State.The “College Bowl” as it was called, got its present name in 1961. During Homecoming, the stadium was dedi-cated to longtime JSU supporter Paul Snow.Paul Snow Stadium got a face-lift in 1965 when seating was expanded from 5,000 to 8,500 and a new press box was installed on the north side of the facil-ity. Under the supervision of long-time Athletic Director Jerry N. Cole, the field house was constructed in 1977 and a final sprucing up was complete in 1978, when the student section was added, bringing the capacity to 15,000, which opened with the Gamecocks beating Southeastern Louisiana, 10-7.The record for a single-game crowd for a football game at Paul Snow Stadium, when 16,800 witnessed the Gamecocks against Alabama A&M in 2003.

J acksonville State’s home for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball is Pete Mathews Coliseum, a 5,500-seat multi-purpose facility that meets the growing needs of Jax State. The Coliseum was opened in 1974 and underwent a complete reno-vation in 1987. A new wooden playing surface was installed,

as were 850 cushioned, chair-backed seats. The sound system, dance studio, weight room and locker rooms were also refurbished. Pete Mathews Coliseum also houses several athletic offices, such as volley-ball, men’s and women’s cross country and women’s soccer. Pete Mathews Coliseum is also home to

the Calhoun County boy’s and girl’s basketball tournament and has previously served as the site of the Alabama High School Athletic Association Girls’ State Basketball Tournament.Once again this season, Jacksonville State will serve as host to both the boy’s and girl’s Northeast Regional Tournaments.

University bandsKnown throughout the Southeast for their thrilling perfor-mances, the Marching Southerners are at the core of the cam-pus excitement generated by students and Gamecock fans alike. Accompanying the Southerners are the Marching Ballerinas. The 38-member precision dance team, started by the original director John Finley and are based on New York City’s famed Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. The Marching Southerners and ballerinas perform at all Jacksonville State home football games and appear at events ranging from Atlanta Falcon home games to marching in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.

HARDCORPS is the Pep Band of Jacksonville State University, Alabama. This ensemble can be seen regularly as an exciting addition to JSU Gamecock Basketball games. The musicians who make up the band are some of the best the JSU School of Music has to offer and its’ funky beats are accented by the glamorous and dynamic HARDCORPS Go-Go Dancers.

HARDCORPS was named The Best Pep Band in College Basketball by The Sporting News in the January, 2001 edition of the popular magazine!

“Go Eagle Owls!” would be the resound-ing cry from Paul Snow Stadium today if ardent fans hadn’t decided 50 years ago that the school mascot should be a bird of a dif-ferent feather.Jacksonville State University’s first football team was fielded in the late 1800’s and nicknamed in honor of a rare predatory bird found near the Arctic circle.The exact details are lost to history, but a group of fans decided it was hard for the school’s image to soar like an eagle if the team’s name was something of a turkey. People like E.C. Wilson, Bruce Chase and Charles Sprayberry felt a more collegiate-sounding moniker would be more appro-priate.The supporters looked to Southern culture rather than the north pole to symbol-ize the school’s tough spirit. Tongue firmly planted in beak, Gamecock supporters crowed the loudest, and the University found itself with a new identity: a mascot familiar to everyone, including the farm boys who comprised most of the student body back then.For nearly a half-century – up until 1946 – the fledgling Eagle Owls hooted with pride from the scanty facilities adjacent to the field at John Forney National Guard Armory.The State Normal School (SNS) team was sparse by today’s stan-dards, but the gridiron action was competitive from the start. Present day rivalries such as Samford (Howard College)

and Troy State were rooted in those early games.The team had only 23 players when SNS was renamed Jacksonville Teachers College in 1946, with Head Coach Don Salls beginning his first season, but there was a “big school” atmosphere developing in the foothills.Along with the new name came new colors. The blue and gold were tossed out in favor of the familiar red and white worn by the area high school players.

The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl nickname and those who wanted new col-ors. Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot.It was all worked out by 1947 when the Fighting Gamecocks took to the field for the first time. And, as is true to the nature of the warlike bird itself, the football team and other athletes fought their way to respectability in intercollegiate ranks - even-tually bringing home a national champion-ship in every major sport.

2008 GaME SuMMariESGEORGIA TECh • • • • • • 41JACKSONVILLE STATE •• • • • 14 Aug. 28, 2008 at Atlanta, Ga.ATLANTA – Georgia Tech totaled 484 yards, 349 on the ground, on its way to a 41-14 win over Jacksonville State in front a crowd of 45,706 fans at Bobby Dodd Stadium-Grant Field.

Ryan Perrilloux completed a career-high 22 of 37 passes for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his Gamecock debut, passing his previous career-high of 20 completions. Maurice Dupree caught nine passes for 39 yards and two touchdowns and is the most receptions since Joey Hamilton caught seven passes on September 25, 1999.

“I thought Ryan had a lot of things go wrong around him, but he made some mistakes out there too,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe. “I did think our offensive line fought their butts off to give him some protection. We really had a lot of players that made a lot of mistakes, but they are not mistakes that we can’t fix.”

Georgia Tech jumped out to the early lead after Jonathan Dwyer scampered 21 yards to cap the three-play, 27-yard drive and give GT a 7-0 lead with 5:45 left in the first quarter. The drive began after Morgan Burnett intercepted a Gamecock pass on JSU’s second offen-sive possession.

The Yellow Jackets then pushed the lead to 14-0 on their next posses-sion after Quarterback Josh Nesbitt plunged in from two yards with 1:34 left in the first quarter.

Roddy Jones’ 39-yard reception and Lucas Cox’s 22-yard run set up the Yellow Jackets’ next score early in the second quarter. Nesbitt rushed in from one-yard out with 2:52 gone off the second quarter clock for a 21-0 advantage.

Georgia Tech put the final score of the first half on the board with 2:32 left after Dwyer rambled 29-yards to wrap up a four-play, 61-yard drive to give Tech a 27-0 lead at halftime.

“It looked like a bunch of guys that has never played with each other before,” said Crowe. “We played much better in the second half, play-ing to a 14-14 tie, after having so many mistakes in the final half. But, we still have a long way to go.”

A.J. Davis recovered a Tech fumble on the opening second half kickoff to put the Gamecocks in business at the Tech 33. Perrilloux had runs of 12 and 15 yards and then completed a five-yard touchdown pass to Dupree for JSU’s first score of the night as the Gamecocks cut the defi-cit to 27-7 with 12:53 remaining in the third quarter.

Georgia Tech answered on its next possession, driving 76 yards in six plays to take a 34-7 lead. Jones 49-yard touchdown scamper on an option pitch from Nesbitt came with 10:36 left in the third quarter.

The Yellow Jackets added to its lead with 11:50 to play in the fourth quarter after Jaybo Shaw’s 43-yard run set up his own two-yard run for Tech’s final score of the night and a 41-7 lead. With 11:50 left in the game.

Jacksonville State finished the scoring on the night after Perrilloux found Dupree for a 16-yard scoring strike with :37 left in the game for the final margin.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Ryan Perrilloux ran for a score and threw for another, while the Gamecocks had two players rush for more than 100 yards to lead Jacksonville State (2-1) to a 31-3 victory over Chattanooga (1-3) in front of 8,240 at Finley Stadium Davenport Field.

Tremayne Coger rushed for 123 yards on 16 carries, while Daniel Jackson added 111 yards on 17 carries as the Gamecocks had two players go over the century mark for the first time since the 2003 season.

“I thought the difference in the game was our ability to run the ball, while our defense was able to stop them from running it,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe following the game. “I was really proud of the fact that we didn’t let them run the ball and held them to just 72 yards.”

Jax State rolled up 481 yards of offense, including 322 yards on the ground, and did not commit a turnover. Perrilloux finished 12-for-24 for 122 yards with one passing touchdown and had 31 rushing yards and another score to lead the Gamecock offense.

Gavin Hallford gave JSU a 3-0 lead with 6:51 left in the first quar-ter as the senior All-American kicked a 35-yard field goal after the Gamecocks went 63 yards in 13 plays to take the early lead.

Jax State struck again on its next possession, driving 72 yards in nine plays to score its first touchdown of the night. Perrilloux split the Mocs’ defense for a 35-yard touchdown run and a 10-0 advantage with 24 seconds to go in the first quarter.

CHARLESTON, Ill. – Ryan Perrilloux scored three touchdowns and passed for 281 yards to lead Jacksonville State to a 23-10 road win over No. 20 Eastern Illinois in the Gamecocks’ Ohio Valley Conference opener.

Perrilloux completed 20-of-25 passes for a career-high 281 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 19 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 10 attempts. The JSU offense rushed for 201 yards on the ground and had 281 yards passing for 482 totals yards on the afternoon.

Jacksonville State won its third-straight game and snapped an eight-game losing skid against ranked opponents while improving to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the OVC. Eastern Illinois had a two-game winning streak come to an end, falling to 2-3 overall and 0-1 in league play.

“This was a really big win for our football team,” JSU head coach Jack Crowe said. “Eastern Illinois is a very good team and I don’t know if we will have a game that will be bigger, from an emotional stand-point, for us this season.”

The Gamecock defense had one of its most dominating efforts against the run, allowing just 20 rushing yards, the smallest output by an opponent in the school’s Division I history. JSU allowed just 226 total yards, and the 20 yards rushing was the fewest by an OVC opponent since Tennessee Tech rushed for 35 yards in 2007.

Jacksonville State took its second drive of the game and went 90 yards in just three plays to take an early lead. Alphonso Freeney’s career-long 45-yard run and a 28 yard pass from Perrilloux to Deonte Carter set up the game’s first touchdown. Perrilloux connected with James Wilkerson on a 17-yard pass that gave JSU a 7-0 lead with 3:27 left in the first quarter.

The Gamecocks then marched 99 yards on their next possession to extend the lead, a drive that was highlighted by a 66-yard pass from Perrilloux to Maurice Dupree to put JSU in scoring position. Two plays later, Perrilloux broke away from a would-be sack by EIU’s Pierre Walters and scampered 16 yards for a touchdown. Gavin Hallford’s extra point gave JSU a 14-0 lead with 11:19 to go in the second quarter.

Eastern Illinois continued to make JSU put together long drives, punting the ball down to the Gamecock 12 yard line, but the Gamecocks used 14 plays to drive the 88 yards while converting on two third down conversions en route to the end zone.

On third and eight from the EIU 16 yard line, Perrilloux hit Jeffery Cameron for 15 yards down to the EIU one yard line. Perrilloux then dove in for a one-yard score to give the Gamecocks a 21-0 halftime lead.

Special teams provided the next points for JSU when the snap sailed over EIU punter Kevin Cook’s head. Cook picked the ball up and ran out of the back of the end zone for the safety, giving the Gamecocks a 23-0 advantage. The safety was the first for JSU since the first quar-ter of its game at Southeast Missouri State on November 17, 2007.

After a JSU interception, EIU drove down the Gamecock six yard line and got on the board after Tyler Wilke kicked a 35-yard field goal to cut the lead to 23-3.

The Panthers special teams provided their only touchdown on the afternoon when Kenny Kinchen blocked a Zach Walden punt and Adrian Arrington returned it 16 yards to the end zone for the final margin.

Jax State finished with 201 yards on the ground, led by Daniel Jackson and Freeney’s 68 yards apiece, while Tremayne Coger added 35 yards on nine carries. Dupree led the receivers with 84 yards on four catches, while Wilkerson and Carter each had 55 yards receiving.

#22 JACKSONVILLE STATE •• • 38SOUThEAST MISSOURI STATE• • 17Oct 4, 2008 at Jacksonville, Ala.

JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State racked up 456 yards of offense en route to a 38-17 Ohio Valley Conference win over Southeast Missouri State (2-4, 0-2 OVC) in front 8,917 fans at Paul Snow Stadium.

It was the fourth-straight game the JSU offense gained 400 or more yards, the longest such streak for the Gamecocks (4-1, 2-0 OVC) since closing the 2005 season with seven straight games with at least 400 yards.

Junior Ryan Perrilloux completed 16-of-22 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns, his second-straight game with over 200 passing yards. It was the first time in the LaPlace, La., native’s career he has posted back-to-back 200-yard passing performances.

Senior Maurice Dupree caught a touchdown pass and returned a kickoff for a touchdown while freshman Brandon George, who entered the game with just 13 career rushing yards, became the third different Gamecock to rush for 100-plus yards this season with 11 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown.

The Gamecocks improved to 32-4 overall and 19-2 at home when scoring 30 or more points under Head Coach Jack Crowe and gained at least 300 yards of total offense for the 36th time in 42 Ohio Valley Conference contests.

JSU’s third possession of the game provided the first points of the night. George took a pitch on the option from Perrilloux and raced 59 yards to the end zone. Senior Gavin Hallford’s PAT gave JSU a 7-0 lead with 3:52 left in the first quarter. The play was the longest rush from scrimmage for JSU this season and accounted for over four times more yards than George had before the carry.

A 35-yard pass from Perrilloux to James Wilkerson put JSU deep into SEMO territory to close the first quarter, setting up a seven-yard touchdown pass from Perrilloux to junior Eric Johns to open the sec-ond quarter. Hallford added the PAT to give the Gamecocks a 14-0 lead with 14:57 remaining in the half.

The Redhawks put their first points on board on their first drive of the second quarter. Doug Spada’s 46-yard field goal attempt split the uprights to cut the JSU lead to 14-3 at the 11:20 mark of the second quarter.

After Southeast Missouri turned the ball over on downs at the JSU 30 yard line with 1:13 to go in the second, the Gamecocks drove 70 yards in six plays to extend the lead. Perrilloux tossed his second touchdown pass of the night to Maurice Dupree that covered the final 41 yards of the drive with 36 seconds left on the clock. JSU car-ried a 21-3 lead into halftime following Hallford’s PAT.

Jax State’s special teams got the second half started off right when Dupree returned the opening kickoff 99 yards to push the lead to 28-3 with just five seconds gone off the clock. Dupree’s kick return was the second of his career and the first since his 89-yard return against Murray State on Sept. 29, 2007. It was also the fourth longest in school history and the second longest since the Gamecocks joined Division I prior to the 1995 season.

Junior Carnell Clark intercepted a Houston Lillard pass at the Gamecocks’ 10 and returned it 14 yards to stop SEMO’s next drive. It was Clark’s first interception of his career and marked the third con-secutive game the JSU defense recorded an interception.

The Gamecock offense took advantage of the turnover by adding a 37-yard field goal by Hallford with 36 seconds left in the third to up the JSU lead to 31-3.

SEMO’s Michael Williamson caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Lillard with 12:46 showing on the fourth quarter clock to cut the deficit to 31-10. The touchdown was the first against the Gamecock defense since the fourth quarter of the Alabama A&M game, a span

of 11 quarters, and the first passing score against JSU this season.

Freshman Marques Ivory led JSU on its final scoring drive of the night, hooking up with junior Jeffrey Cameron for an 11-yard touch-down with 4:28 to play. The pass was Ivory’s second touchdown pass of his career and the first career touchdown reception for Cameron.

The Redhawks tried to make things interesting late in the game when Walter Peoples caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Matt Scheible with 3:41 on the clock to cut the deficit to 31-17.

SEMO recovered an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff but came up short when a Lillard pass fell incomplete on fourth and goal from the JSU one.

EASTERN KENTUCKy •• • • • 38#18 JACKSONVILLE STATE• • • 35Oct 11, 2008 at Richmond, Ky.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Allen Holland threw for 242 yards to lead Eastern Kentucky to a 38-35 upset over No. 18 Jacksonville State and hand the Gamecocks their first Ohio Valley Conference loss of the season on Saturday.

Eastern Kentucky improved to 4-3 overall and 3-1 in the OVC, while the Gamecocks dropped to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the OVC.

“We never lost the fight and we didn’t show up not ready to play,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe following the game. “We just weren’t seasoned enough to handle the turn of events as they hap-pened and consistently went against us.”

Eastern Kentucky held a 31-21 lead entering the fourth quarter, but the Gamecocks cut the lead to 31-28 after Brandon George scored on an eight-yard run and Gavin Hallford added the point after with 9:41 left. But, the Colonels answered to push the lead back to 10 points.

Holland capped a 60 yard, five-play drive by scoring on a one-yard run with 7:13 left to give EKU a 38-28 lead, but the Gamecocks answered late in the game.

Perrilloux scored on a four-yard run to cap a 10-play, 60 yard drive with 4:12 as Jax State sliced the lead to 38-35 with 4:12 left and then the JSU defense held on three plays to give the Gamecocks on last chance.

Perrilloux drove the Gamecocks down to the EKU 33 yard line with just under two minutes left in the game, but threw his fifth intercep-tion of the night to seal the Colonel win.

Jacksonville State struck early after Perrilloux connected on a 59-yard pass to Maurice Dupree with 11:04 left in the first quarter. Gavin Hallford’s point after gave the Gamecocks a 7-0 lead.

Eastern Kentucky answered by taking the kickoff and going 77 yards to tie the game after Aaron Bradley scored on a four-yard run. Taylor Long’s point after tied the game at 7-7 with 8:50 left in the first quar-ter.

The Colonels took the lead midway through the second quarter after C.J. Walker scored on a one-yard run and Long added the point after to give EKU a 14-7 lead with 10:10 left in the first half.

Jacksonville State tied the game later in the second quarter after T.J. Heath intercepted a EKU Pass and returned it inside the Colonels five yard line. Two players later, Calvin Middleton scored from one yard out and Hallford added the point after with 7:19 left to tie the game at 14-14.

Eastern Kentucky scored the final 10 points of the first half after Holland tossed an 11-yard pass to Stephen Sizemore with 5:17 left and then Long kicked a 46-yard field goal on the final play of the half as the Colonels took a 24-14 lead into the intermission.

Eastern Kentucky extended the lead in the second half after Walker scored on a 19-yard run with 11:20 left in the third quarter to give the Colonels a 31-14 advantage.

#23 JACKSONVILLE STATE •• • 31 MURRAy STATE• • • • • • 21Oct 18, 2008 at Jacksonville, Ala.

JACKSONVILLE – Ryan Perrilloux completed 18-of-20 passes for 189 yards and a career-high four touchdowns to lead Jacksonville State to a 31-21 win over Murray State in front of a Homecoming crowd of 14,251 at Paul Snow Stadium on Saturday.

Jacksonville State, ranked No. 23 in the latest FCS poll, improved to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the OVC. Murray State drops to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the conference.

“Ryan is very poised,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe. “He was fully involved and had great energy the first play he got back out there. Every ball he threw had some intent to it and you could tell he was going to play well.”

Perrilloux completed his first 12 passes and became the first JSU player to toss four touchdown passes since 1999. He ran his season touchdown total to 13, the most by a Gamecock since Reggie Stancil in 2001.

The Gamecocks struck quickly, scoring after Perrilloux hooked up with Maurice Dupree on a 39-yard touchdown pass with only 1:07 gone off the first quarter clock. Gavin Hallford became the OVC’s all-time career scoring leader by a kicker with the point after as JSU took a 7-0 lead.

The score was the quickest score since Craig Agee returned an inter-ception 17 yards versus Samford with 14:30 left in the first quarter on Nov. 11, 2006. It was also the quickest offensive score dating to a Rondy Rodgers 16-yard touchdown run with 14:40 left in the first quarter against Samford on Sept. 21, 2000.

A Dupree 39-yard punt return set up JSU’s next touchdown. Three plays later, Perrilloux scrambled and found Deonte Carter for a 21-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone. Hallford’s point after pushed the JSU lead to 14-0 with 6:51 left in the second.

Murray State answered on its next offensive possession and scored after Charlie Jordan raced 74-yards for the touchdown to cut the JSU lead to 14-7 with 5:23 to go in the second quarter.

The JSU special teams again put the Gamecocks in scoring posi-tion when Eric Russell recovered a Taylor Lanigan fumble on a punt return at the Murray 33 late in the second quarter.

Perrilloux and Dupree hooked up for the second time on the day from 21 yards out. Hallford added the PAT for a 21-7 lead with 1:54 remaining in the second quarter. The touchdown reception by Dupree was a school record ninth of the season, eclipsing the old mark set by Derrick Thomas in 1985. Dupree finished with a team-high 79 yards on five catches.

The Racers’ final drive of the first half stalled at the JSU 12 and the again the Gamecock special teams again came up big. Monte Lewis blocked a Kienan

Cullen 29-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the first half to keep JSU ahead 21-7 at the half.

Murray State took the opening second half kickoff and marched 52 yards in nine plays to cut into the JSU lead. McKinnis dove over for a one-yard touchdown run to cap the drive and trim deficit to 21-14 with 11:23 left in third quarter.

Jax State scored the first points of the second half when Hallford kicked his longest field goal of the season with a 45-yard field goal to give JSU a 24-14 lead at the 6:45.

The Racers closed the gap to 24-21 with 5:48 left in the fourth quar-ter after quarterback Jeff Ehrhardt plunged in on a quarterback sneak to finish a 14-play 69-yard drive that took 3:28 off the game clock. Ehrhardt finished 24-for-42 for 171 yards to lead the Racers.

The Gamecocks scored the final points of the game after Perrilloux tossed his fourth touchdown pass of the game, connecting with Alphonso Freeney for a three-yard strike with 3:41 to play.

The JSU defense held Murray out of the end zone on its final drive of the game when Alexander Henderson stopped Charlie Jordan for a loss of three yards on third and goal from the JSU one and Jawaan Booker batted away an Erhardt pass intended for Marcus Harris on fourth and goal.

MARTIN, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State football team’s attempt at a dramatic comeback fell one point short on Thursday night, when the Gamecocks dropped a heartbreaking 31-30 conference game at Tennessee-Martin in front of a national television audience.

Trailing 31-24 with less than five minutes to play, junior Ryan Perrilloux connected with junior James Wilkerson on a 66-yard touchdown pass that cut the deficit to one, but senior place-kicker Gavin Hallford’s point after attempt sailed wide right. The Gamecocks (5-3, 3-2 Ohio Valley Conference) got the ball back with 23 seconds to play, but couldn’t get in position for a shot at a game winning field goal.

The Skyhawks (7-2, 5-1 OVC) gained 493 yards behind Miguel Barnes’ 117 rushing yards and Cade Thompson’s 275 yards through the air en route to their third-straight win and their second in a row over Jax State in Martin. Roren Thomas added a career-best 84 yards and a score on the ground, thanks to an 85-yard touchdown scamper on the game’s first possession.

Earlier in the game, Hallford etched his name in the Gamecocks record book when his 31-yard first-quarter field goal moved him ahead of former quarterback David Gulledge atop the school’s career scoring list. The Phenix City, Ala., native finished the night with six points, giving him 293 for his career, three ahead of Gulledge. He needs just 29 points to tie Eastern Kentucky’s Markus Thomas for the OVC’s career record.

Junior linebacker Alexander Henderson, who became just the sec-ond player in JSU’s Division I history to record 20 or more tackles in a game with 21 last week vs. Murray State, equaled that mark for the second-straight week on Thursday. The Mobile, Ala., native led all players, totaling eight more stops than anyone else in the game.

Perrilloux recorded his fifth multi-touchdown game with a pair of scoring passes on a night that saw the LaPlace, La., native complete 14 of his 29 tosses for 261 yards and ran for 53 to account for most of the Gamecocks’ 440 yards of total offense. He found senior Maurice Dupree four times for a total of 96 yards, and he connected with Wilkerson and junior Eric Johns for his two scores.

Senior tailback Daniel Jackson led the Gamecocks’ ground attack with 98 yards on 13 carries, leaving the Florence, Ala., native just two yards shy of what would have been his fifth career 100-yard rushing game.

The Skyhawks’ Roren Thomas lit the scoreboard early in the game, running the second play from scrimmage 85 yards for a touchdown.

The longest play the JSU defense had allowed this season and the longest run against the Gamecocks since Nov. 8, 1997, gave UTM a 7-0 lead with just 53 seconds ticked off of the clock.

The Gamecocks took the ensuing possession and used it to tie the score on a nine-play drive that spanned 59 yards and took just over five minutes to complete. Senior fullback Ronald Murray finished the drive by punching it in from two yards out with 8:56 on the first quarter clock.

Hallford put the Gamecocks ahead just over six minutes later with his record-setting kick, a boot that was the finishing touches on a six-play, 58-yard drive. After the Gamecocks’ special teams gave them a 10-7 advantage, they allowed the Skyhawks to pull to within a point, when freshman Brandon Rogers’ snap on a punt attempt with 13:26 to play in the half sailed over punter Zach Walden’s head and out of the back of the end zone for a safety.

The Gamecocks wasted little time in reclaiming the lead in the second half using a three-yard drive that was highlighted by 59 yards on two carries from Daniel Jackson to start the third quarter. Sophomore fullback Alphonso Freeney’s four-yard touchdown run between the tackles finished off a three-play, 63-yard drive that lasted just 73 seconds.

After forcing a UTM punt, the JSU offense needed just four plays to score again on a 12-yard pass from Perrilloux to junior tight end Eric Johns. The drive took 1:44, spanned 61 yards and was sparked by a 43-yard pass from Perrilloux to junior Jeffrey Cameron that set the Gamecocks up in the UTM red zone.

The Skyhawks tied it on the ensuing possession, thanks to a one-yard run by Miguel Barnes and a two-point pass from Thompson to Thomas that ended a seven-play, 61-yard scoring drive. They reclaimed the lead with 11:44 to play in the game, when Thompson’s four-yard touchdown pass to Mike Hicks capped a six-play drive that covered 73 yards, took 2:28 off of the clock and gave UTM a 31-24 advantage.

A missed 30-yard field goal by UTM’s Tom Hansen with 5:47 to play set up a 66-yard strike from Perrilloux to junior James Wilkerson that cut the Skyhawks’ lead to 31-30, but Hallford’s point after attempt missed wide left. The miss snapped a streak of 39 straight successful extra points for Hallford.

JACKSONVILLE – Ryan Perrilloux scored three touchdowns and Daniel Jackson rushed for 111 yards to lead Jacksonville State to a 35-22 win over Austin Peay in an Ohio Valley Conference game on Saturday.

The Gamecocks improved to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the OVC after securing the school’s fifth straight winning season and the 40th in the school history. Austin Peay fell to 1-8 overall and 1-5 in the con-ference.

“We had our work cut out for us and knew we had our work cut out for us,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe after the game. “Nobody expected it to be any different, because of the way their games have gone. That’s what they have looked like against everybody this sea-son.”

Perrilloux passed for 271 yards and a pair of touchdowns and rushed for 50 yards and another score after leading the Gamecocks to 467 yards of total offense. James Wilkerson finished the game with a career-high 123 receiving yards on eight catches to lead seven differ-ent receivers.

Jax State jumped out to an early 14-0 first quarter lead after Perrilloux marched the Gamecocks 74 yards on their opening drive and scored on a 14-yard run. The junior quarterback then connected with Wilkerson on a nine-yard pass on JSU’s next possession to cap a

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Ronald Murray scored three touchdowns, all in the third quarter, to lead Jacksonville State to a 41-17 win over Tennessee Tech in an Ohio Valley Conference game Saturday after-noon.

The Gamecocks improved to 7-3 overall and 5-2 in the OVC, while Tennessee Tech falls to 3-8 overall and just 1-6 in the conference.

“We came into this game with a focus and I thought we executed as well as we have all season,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe. “Anytime we can hold an opponent to less than 100 rushing yards and rush for more than 200 yards, that’s who we think we are.”

Jax State rolled up 486 yards of total offense, including 221 yards on the ground behind Daniel Jackson’s 107 rushing yards. Ryan Perrilloux finished with 252 yards and a pair of touchdowns through the air and added 25 rushing yards for the Gamecocks.

The JSU defense held Tech to just 94 rushing yards, marking the fifth straight year the Gamecocks have held TTU to less than 100 yards on the ground. The Golden Eagles managed just 284 yards of offense.

The Gamecocks scored first after Carnell Clark recovered a Tech fumble at the TTU 39 yard line early in the first quarter. Six plays later, Jackson score on a 24-yard run over right guard and Gavin Hallford kicked the point after as JSU took a 7-0 lead with 6:17 remaining.

Tennessee Tech answered by taking the ensuing kickoff and going 52 yards in eight plays. Josh Lowery tossed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Tim Benford to tie the game with 2:22 left in the first quarter.

Jax State battled back to take the lead midway through the second quarter after marching 83 yards in eight plays. Perrilloux connected with Dupree on an eight-yard touchdown pass with 6:41 left as the Gamecocks took a 13-7 lead.

Tennessee Tech added a 28-yard field goal with just :43 left in the second quarter by Kraemer to cut the lead to 13-10 at the half.

“We talked about coming out in the second half and finishing the game and I thought we did that,” added Crowe. “We have a very high third down conversion percentage and I credit that to the execution of our quarterback and the play calling by Ronnie Letson.”

The Gamecocks put the game out of reach by scoring three straight touchdowns on every possession of the third quarter. Murray scored

on runs of six yards, and a pair of two-yard runs as the Gamecocks built a 34-10 lead at the end of the third quarter. It was the first time a JSU player scored three touchdowns in a quarter since Marcus Mitchell in 2001.

Perrilloux connected with Jeffery Cameron on a 29-yard touchdown pass with 8:31 left in the fourth quarter for the final margin. Cameron finished the game with five catches for 77 yards to lead the receiving corps for nine different Gamecock receivers. Junior Josh Cain led the Gamecock defense with 11 tackles and one interception.

Lowery finished 19-for-34 for 191 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead Tennessee Tech’s offense, while Benford was the leading receiv-er with 67 yards on six catches.

JACKSONVILLE – Freshman Calvin Middleton’s three-yard touchdown run with 13 seconds to play erased a one-point deficit and lifted the Jacksonville State football team to a 26-21 win over No. 18 Tennessee State on Senior Day Saturday at Paul Snow Stadium.

Middleton’s second touchdown run of the day capped an 84-yard game winning drive that took 14 plays and 5:25 seconds. It gave the Gamecocks (8-3, 6-2 Ohio Valley Conference) their second win over a ranked foe this season and secured a second-place tie in the OVC standings. They improve to 4-1 against the Tigers (8-3, 5-2 OVC) in teh all-time series.

JSU finished the season with a 5-0 record at Paul Snow Stadium, just the second time since 1992 the Gamecocks have posted a perfect home record. It was also the first time JSU defeated more than one ranked opponent in a season since moving to Division I prior to the 1993 season.

Jacksonville State had 293 yards of total offense on the day, 174 on the ground and 119 passing. Senior Daniel Jackson rushed for 105 yards on 17 carries, marking his third straight 100-yard performance and the sixth of his career. Junior Ryan Perrilloux completed 13-of-21 passes for 119 yards and rushed for 50 yards on 11 attempts.

Tennessee State struck first with 5:42 left in the first quarter when Antonio Heffner hooked up with JuJuan Stillman for a 63-yard touch-down pass to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead.

The Tigers appeared poised to add to their lead late in the first quar-ter, but Eric Benson’s 30-yard field goal attempt was blocked by JSU’s T.J. Heath and scooped up by Andrew Ridgeway, who raced 72-yards for the touchdown. Gavin Hallford added the PAT to tie the game at 7-7 with 1:25 left in the first quarter.

Tennessee State pushed the lead to 14-7 early in the second quarter after Dante Thomas scored on a one-yard run, a score that was set up by Marquez Hall’s interception of a Perrilloux pass.

Despite having just 47 yards of total offense before starting the ensu-ing drive, the Gamecocks took the possession 74 yards in seven plays to tie the game at 14-14. Middleton capped the drive with the one-yard run and Hallford added the extra-point with 1:31 left in the first half.

The Jax State defense held and forced a Tennessee State punt and Perrilloux marched the Gamecocks down to the Tigers 30-yard line to set up a 48-yard field goal by Hallford. The senior’s career-long field goal sailed through the uprights as time expired and gave the Gamecocks a 17-14 lead at the half.

Blackie Heath1946

Blackie Heath was the first football player to grab All-America honors at Jacksonville State under Coach Don Salls, and he set the precedent for many to follow. Known for his blazing speed, Heath played tailback on the 1946 team and led the team in rushing and total offense.

John Williams1947

Fullback John Williams, a tough 185-pound bulldozer of a runner, ripped his way for 997 yards to set a new standard in modern times for yards gained at Jacksonville State. The mark stood for seven years until another Gamecock All-America came along to clip the mark. During the 1947 campaign, the Gamecocks knocked off nine-straight foes, blanking five, and it was the fine running and leadership of one John Williams who led the way. John went on to become a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy.

Jodie Connell1953

When fans gather at Homecoming or whenever Gamecock football is the subject, the name of Jodie Connell always pops up in the conversation. Jodie, playing with only one arm, mastered everyone who dared line up in front in the 1953 season. He was a first-team Associated Press selection at the guard position.

Al Woodham1954

Perhaps the fastest halfback to ever carry football at Jacksonville State, Al Woodham erased John Williams’ rushing record of 997 yards with a total of 1,024 yards in 1954. For his efforts, Woodham was chosen for All-American honors and earned the school’s first trip to the Blue-Gray Game in Montgomery, Ala.

Billy Hicks1955

One of the really outstanding runners in Gamecock football history is All-American Billy Hicks. His finest hour came in the 1955 Refrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Ind., when he helped Jax State whip Rhode Island, 12-10, to give the Gamecocks a 10-1 record. Hicks, a giant of a man (6-2, 245), played a couple of seasons in the Canadian Football League after his career at Jacksonville State.

Jim Glasgow1957

At 6-5 and 235 pounds, Glasgow was one of the largest, toughest and fast-est tackles in the country, and his fine play earned him All-America honors. Glasgow became the second JSU player to play in the Blue-Gray Game in Montgomery, Ala., joining Al Woodham.

Bill Nichols1958

Bill Nichols, a fellow who didn’t resemble a football player until he got the ball because of his size, outran everyone during the 1958 season to earn All-America honors. Nichols became just the second player in JSU history to rush for more than 1,000 yards after gaining 1,051 yards in 1958.

Al Carter1961

Arland “Al” Carter picked up his All-American honor in 1961 after leading JSU to a 6-2-1 record. Carter led the Alabama Collegiate Conference in total offense and was named the most valuable back in the ACC. Carter played tailback in the Gamecocks’ single-wing formation.

Ray Vinson1966

Ray Vinson earned Associated Press All-America honors in 1966 and was one of the most talented players to ever put on a Gamecock uniform. Vinson led Jax State in every offensive department as a freshman and broke records on defense as a senior. He intercepted 13 passes his senior year and, although he wasn’t drafted in the pro draft, he was signed by the San Diego Chargers. The Oxford, Ala., native finished with a total of 15 interceptions at Jacksonville State and his pass interception marks, season and career (16), will probably never be broken.

Terry Harris1967

Terry Harris, like Ray Vinson, was a versatile player who excelled on both offense and defense, but defense was where he shined the brightest. Harris’ defensive efforts earned him Little All-America recognition from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Terry signed with the San Diego Chargers. Terry held the record for most yards pass receiving (career) for more than 30 years and had 13 interceptions in two seasons. It was Harris’ leadership on defense in 1967 that helped Jax State intercept 23 passes in 10 games.

Jimmy Champion1970

Jimmy Champion, Jacksonville State’s “champion” blocker at center in 1970 when the Gamecocks went 10-0-0 and won the Orange Blossom Classic, will be ranked as one of the all-time great linemen in JSU history. He was the first player to ever make first-team AP and NAIA All-America at Jacksonville State. His blocking helped the Gamecocks score 35 points per game and aver-age close to 400 yards total offense per game. He was a four-year starter at Jacksonville State.

Bruce Nichols1971

Bruce Nichols was deserving of Little All-America honors in two seasons but made the selection only once, his senior year. He asked not to be considered his junior year so that several outstanding seniors that year could receive more consideration. A four-year starter, Bruce signed with the Dallas Cowboys following the 1971 season. He was also a two-time all-conference pick. His blocking allowed the Gamecocks to average 34 points per game for two years.

Alan Paseur1972

Alan Paseur’s climb to fame at Jacksonville State University is an example of what hard work and dedication can achieve. Not blessed with outstanding ability and seemingly beset with hard luck, Paseur overcame both on his way to Little All-America honors at JSU. Paseur overcame two serious knee opera-tions and worked to support a family of two on his way to LAA honors. Not bad for a guy who weighed 170 pounds in high school and the person whose services were only wanted by the military recruiter. Paseur was named to the NAIA postseason squad.

Boyce Callahan1973

Boyce Callahan became Jacksonville State’s second Little All-American to make both the Associated Press and NAIA teams. Jimmy Champion (1970) was the other. Callahan, in his four-year career, broke every rushing and scor-ing record in JSU history. He gained 4,228 yards and scored 40 touchdowns, totaling 240 points. In addition, he set the season rushing record with 1,293 yards and the single-game mark with 275 yards against Florence State.

Calvin Word1974 • 1975

Calvin Word became the only Jacksonville State football player to earn Little All-America honors twice when he made NAIA and Associated Press teams in 1974 and 1975. The 215-pound offensive tackle signed with the Dallas Cowboys following graduation. He won most valuable offensive lineman at Jax State and was voted team captain. JSU’s 1974 team won the Gulf South Conference title.

Gary Wagner1976

Gary Wagner played linebacker well enough to make all-conference as a junior, but he really came into his own as a middle guard during his senior season. Wagner, note for his quickness and ability to block punts, field goals and extra-point attempts (17 in two years), won NAIA Little All-America honors at this position. In addition, the former Huntsville prep star was voted all-district and all-conference during the 1976 season, when Jax State did not allow a rushing touchdown in the first eight games.

Jesse Baker1977 • 1978

The ACCNo, it’s not the Atlantic Coast Conference. At least not for this refer-ence. It was the Alabama Collegiate Conference, which the Gamecocks com-peted in during the 1960’s. The four state supported colleges - Jacksonville State, Troy State, Florence State (now UNA), and Livingston (now West Alabama) - formed the ACC in 1960. The Gamecocks shared the conference foot-ball crown with Florence State in 1962 and 1963 and then won the next three football championships in 1964, 1965 and1966. The Gamecocks produced numerous All-ACC players throughout the 1960’s, but those records are incom-plete. In 1969, JSU placed Bubba Long (RB) and Gary Godfrey (LB) on the All-Conference squad.

All-AmericansThe Gamecocks have had a total of 45 players selected All-America since the modern day records begin in 1946. The school’s first All-America was halfback Blackie Heath in 1946 and the next year, John Williams earned the honor. Offensive tackle Calvin Word was the first JSU player to be named All-American twice (1974 and 1975). Butch Barker and Jesse Baker each earned the honor in 1977 and 1978, while Ed Lett (QB) was a repeat All-American in 1981 and 1982. Offensive lineman Joe Billingsley was named to the squad in 1986 and 1988 and Danny Lee (Return Specialist) repeated in 1991 and 1992. Linebacker Ja’Karl Barnett was a selec-tion in 1992 and 1993. JSU’s first All-America at the Division I level was defensive back Darron Edwards in 1995 and Eric Mims in 1996. The Gamecocks placed three members on the 1998 All-America team when Mark Word (DE), Montressa Kirby (QB) and Eurosius Parker (Return Specialist) each earned the honor. Delvin Hughley (DB) was named to the 2000 All-American squad. In 2001, senior offensive lineman Jeremy Sullivan was named second team and freshman punter Richie Rhodes earned third-team honors. Rhodes was named second-team All-American in 2002 and third-team in 2003. During JSU’s second

OVC Championship, John Pettus and Oscar Bonds both earned second-team All-American honors, while Craig Agee was a third-team All-American after leading the nation in punt returns as a sophomore. In 2005, senior offensive lineman Rod Olds earned third-team honors, while junior runningback Clay Green also earned third-team All-America accolades. In 2007, junior kicker Gavin Hallford was named third-team All-America by The Associated Press, while Carnell Clark earned Associated Press All-America honors last season.

All-Star GamesSeven different Gamecock football play-ers have participated in post-season all-star games. Halfback Al Woodham was the first JSU player to play in the Blue-Gray Classic in 1955. Four years later, Jim Glasgow (OT) played in the Classic, which is held in the City of Montgomery on Christmas Day each year. JSU’s first player to participate in the Blue-Gray Classic since moving to Division I in 1993 was defensive end Mark Word in 1998. JSU has had three players to play in the Senior Bowl, with record setting quarterback Dieter Brock playing in 1974. Defensive lineman Jesse Baker was selected to play in 1979 and runningback Sean Richardson played in 1994. Baker also played in the East-West Shine game in 1979. Delvin Hughley (DB) partici-pated in the 2000 Blue-Gray game in Montomgery.

Battle for ‘Ole School BellAt every level of play in football, there are historic rivalry games between teams. There is that certain game circled on every fans calendar and for Gamecock fans, it’s the Troy State game. The rivalry dates back to 1924 and the two teams have met a total of 62 times, with Jax State holding a 33-28-2 lead in the series. JSU owns the longest win streak in the series, winning 13-straight in the series from 1954-66.

Bowl GamesThe Gamecocks have played in eight bowl games, dating back to the 1948 season. JSU has an all-time record of 6-2 in bowl games. Jax State first played in the 1948 Paper Bowl and defeated Troy State, 19-0. JSU returned to the Paper Bowl and defeated Livingston (now West Alabama), 12-7 in 1949. Jax State suffered its first loss in a bowl game after losing 7-6 to the Pensacola Cards Navy team in 1950. JSU whipped Rhode Island, 12-10, in the Refrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Ind., in 1955. In 1966, the Gamecocks defeated Arkansas A&M, 41-30, in the 1966 Space City Classic. JSU’s 21-7 victory over Florida A&M in the 1970 Orange Blossom Classic in Miami’s Orange Bowl, is one of the top victories in Gamecock his-tory. JSU defeated North Dakota State , 31-7, in front of more than10,000 and an ABC-TV regional television audience in the Grantland Rice Bowl to advance to the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1977. The following week, the Gamecocks suffered just their second bowl loss after Lehigh claimed a 33-0 win over JSU in the Gamecocks’ first ever nationally televised football game in the Pioneer Bowl.

The CatchOne of the single most memorable plays in JSU football history came on November 11, 1996, JSU was fac-ing Western Illinois in front of a Homecoming crowd. The Gamecocks had just :03 seconds left in the game trailing 27-26 and had the ball on the Western Illinois 42-yard line. Freshman quarterback JeDarius Issac took the snap and lobbed a “hail mary” pass on the game’s final play that somehow ended up in the hands of wide receiver Patrick Plott in the end zone as the Gamecocks grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat. JSU seemingly had the game well in hand, leading 26-13 with 10:09 to play, but the Leathernecks came storm-ing back. A touchdown run with 4:46 remaining in the game cut the lead to 26-20, and with just 50 seconds show-ing on the clock, a 22-yard fourth-down scoring pass and the ensuing extra point

had given WIU a 27-26 lead. But Issac calmly directed the Gamecocks 71 yards in 50 seconds, capping it off with the 42-yard pass to Plott for the game-winner.

Chevrolet ScholarshipsJacksonville State has been the recipient of four Chevrolet scholarships Awards. Two came in 1977 during JSU appear-

ance in the Grantland Rice Bowl, regionally televised by ABC. The game, held in Anniston, Ala., was won by the Gamecocks 31-7 over North Dakota State. The win sent Jacksonville State to its first-ever appearance in the Division II National Championship Game. Jesse Baker and Bobby Ray Green were named Chevrolet Players-of-the-Game. Baker earned the honor on defense and Green was named for the offensive Player-of-the-Game.

JSU’s Joe Hartsfield earned the honor in JSU’s 24-14 win over Alabama State on Oct. 27, 1980. The Gamecocks’ last player to earn the award was Simon Shephard on December 4, 1982, when JSU lost 19-14 to Southwest Texas State in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Clarkie MayfieldCoach Mayfield, 35, died in a tragic fire accident in Southgate, Ky., on May 28, 1977. He lost his life trying to help others out of a burning club where he had gone to attend a retirement party for his moth-er, a school teacher retiring after 42 years. Coach Mayfield joined the JSU staff in 1969 as defensive coordinator, but moved to the offense in 1970. He became JSU’s head coach in 1974, winning the Gulf South Conference title his first season. He posted a 20-11-0 record during his three seasons as head coach. The Mayfield Room, which was named in is honor in 1978, is located in the Gamecock Field House.

Female KickerJunior placekicker Ashley Martin made NCAA history

by becoming the first female to play and score a point in a NCAA col-lege football game on August 30, 2001. With the Gamecocks scoring their second touchdown of the game, Martin trotted on the field and kicked the extra point as the Gamecocks built a 14-0 lead at the 8:31 mark of the first quar-ter over Cumberland University. Martin, a native of Sharpsburg, Ga., went on to finish

the game 3-for-3. She was named the Southland Football League Special Teams Player-of-the-Week and made national television appearances on Good Morning America, Live with Regis and Kelly, Pure Oxygen, CNN, ESPN and numerous local stations across the country. She was also featured in USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution and several magazines including ESPN The Magazine, People, Newsweek, The Sporting News and several other periodicals. Martin, a two-sport player, led the soccer team in scoring in 2001.

Gulf South ConferenceIf there was ever a dominating team in the Gulf South Conference, Jacksonville State would lay claim to it.

to form the Mid-South Conference, the forerunner to the GSC. Scheduling prob-lems in the first year permitted competi-tion only in football, with JSU winning the league’s first championship in 1971. Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State joined the conference, bring-ing the membership to eight and the league also changed its name to the Gulf South Conference. On June 1, 1992, JSU officially withdrew its membership from the GSC. During the 22 years the Gamecocks competed in the GSC, JSU won 37 regular season titles, six NCAA Division II National Championships and more All-Sports Trophies than any school in league history, including an unprecedented four consecutive for both the men’s and women’s programs from 1990-93. In fact, JSU won more GSC championships in football (9), men’s bas-ketball (7), and baseball (5, three-way tie) than any school, past or present. More than 100 Jax State football players were named to the All-Gulf South Conference football team. Six more were selected as the “Players of the Year” at the conclu-sion of the season.

Hall of FameThe Jacksonville State University Athletic Hall of Fame inducted its first members of J.W. Stephenson, Barto Hughes and Ray Wedgeworth in 1972. Sixty-two former Gamecocks are cur-rently in the Hall of Fame, with four more former Gamecocks inducted every

other year. The Athletic Hall of Fame is on permanent display in the Gamecock Center of Stephenson Gym.

Ice BowlJacksonville State vs Mississippi College in the 1989 NCAA Division II National Championship Game in Florence, Ala. On December 9, 1989, a winter storm came across the Tennessee Valley and dumped more than two inches of ice and snow the night before the Gamecocks faced GSC foe Mississippi College for the National Title on ESPN. Jax State had beaten the Choctaws 23-3 soundly earlier in the season, but Shane Stewart’s 19-yard field goal with 6:13 remaining in the third was enough to give MC the win. It was the third time in as many games that JSU had not allowed the Chocs a single TD. Snow, which fell continuously from the morning hours, turned the field into a slick maze of ice; making footing treacherous. JSU, sty-mied by the conditions and the 31 degree temperature, managed just 126 yards rushing. The title was vacated by the NCAA in 1992 after Mississippi College was found in violation of numerous NCAA violations.

Kickoff ReturnJSU’s school record for longest kickoff return in school history is held by Ray Vinson, from Oxford. Vinson’s 103-yard

kickoff return gave the Gamecocks’ the spark they need to stop highly-rated Troy State 27-6. It gave the Gamecocks its 19th straight homecoming victory. Returns from the end zone now count just 100 yards. JSU’s Joey Hamilton was the last player to return a kickoff for 100 yards, vs Samford, on October 2, 1999.

Marching SouthernersThe JSU Gamecocks are backed by the Marching Southerners and Ballerinas. From JSU home football games, to the 1996 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, to Alabama Governor Bob Riley’s inaugural festivities and doz-ens appearances at band competi-tions, festivals and parades last season alone, the Marching Southerners have entertained thousands since their debut in 1956. The band’s original director was John T. Finley, followed by JSU Director of Bands Emeritus David L. Walters. The 2009 season marks the 16th season of current director, Kenneth G. Bodiford.

MatadorDuring the 1967 season, “Matador” was a live rooster that was kept in a cage and lived on campus. “Matador” attended all the football games dur-ing the season and would perch on a student’s arm during the games.

National ChampionshipsThe Gamecock football program has had the chance to play for 12 in the NCAA playoffs and won its first in 1992 with a dramatic 17-13 win over Pittsburg State in the Championship Game in Florence, Alabama. Jax State has played in the cham-pionship game four times (1992, 1991, 1989, 1977). The JSU baseball team won the Division II National Championship in 1990 and in 1991, while the Gamecock Basketball team claimed the title in 1985. Jacksonville State is the only school in the history of NCAA competition on any level to have national championships in football, basketball and baseball. Only five other NCAA schools have ever even won one championship in basketball and football (Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, North Alabama and Wittenberg).

The members of the Gamecock football coaching staff also have a vast experience with national championships.

Defensive coordinator Greg Stewart has been a part of three national championships, two as a player at Troy State in 1984 and 1987 and one as a member of the Gamecock coaching staff in 1992.

One Arm BanditPlaying football with just one arm didn’t slow down this Gamecock All-American. Jodie Connell was a four-year starter for the Gamecocks from 1950-52. As a ten-year old boy, Connell suffered an accident on a tire swing which resulted in his left arm being amputated just below the elbow. Connell played baseball and ran track at Gadsden High School, but it was his accomplishments on the gridiron that are best remembered. A two-time All-State selec-tion, Connell came to JSU in 1950 and played both football and baseball. As a freshman, Connell beat out five returning lettermen for a starting position at guard, a spot that he held all four years at JSU. Connell, who rushed for several touchdowns on a guard-around play, was a threat to drop back and pass, and even on one occasion snagged an interception. His senior year, he was named co-captain of the team and earned All-America honors. He went on to play for the St. Louis Knights for three years, and made the All-League team as an offensive guard. He also played defensive end. He was inducted into the JSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984, the Etowah County Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1996.

Ohio Valley ConferenceThe Gamecocks began competition in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003 and their presence was felt immediately. Jacksonville State has claimed a total of 37 conference cham-pionships in just six years in the league, including back-to-back football crowns in 2003 and 2004. The Gamecocks won conference titles during the 2008-09 year in Rifle, Tennis and Softball, with the Gamecock softball team becoming the first-ever OVC school to win a Regional Championship and advance to the NCAA Super Regional. Jax State won a school-record nine OVC Championships in 2006-07. The year was capped off with Jacksonville State claiming the Women’s All-Sports Trophy and the men finished third in the All-Sports standings. Jacksonville State also claimed the OVC Academic Banner for the 2004 year.

and the first three were multiple over-times, and the Gamecocks are 1-4 in the extra period, claiming a 17-10 win over Tennessee Tech in 2006.

The Gamecocks played the first overtime game in school history on November 16, 1996, against Northeast Louisiana at Indian Stadium in Monroe, La. Each team scored a touchdown on its first possession, forcing a second overtime with the score tied at 28-28. In the second extra period, JSU’s Montressa Kirby threw his second interception of the night. That allowed NLU kicker Cory Babineaux to kick his first field goal attempt of the game, booting a 29-yarder to win the game and end the Gamecocks’ 1996 season.

In 1999, JSU played its second overtime game in school history vs McNeese State on October 16. JSU held a 19-6 lead at the half, but McNeese stormed back when Shonz LaFrenz kicked a 39-yard field as time expired in regulation to tie the score at 26-26. Both teams scored a touchdown on their first possession of overtime. JSU’s Brad Hopkins kicked a 40-yard field to give the Gamecocks a 36-33 lead in the second overtime. McNeese State took over and fumbled on second down and JSU tried to pick up the ball and a MSU lineman was able to recover the fumble for the Cowboys. On the next play, Slade Nagle tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Redmond to give the Cowboys a 39-36 SFL win.

Jax State played its third overtime game in school history in Nacogdoches, Texas, vs Stephen F. Austin on October 13, 2001. SFA held a 17-16 lead at the half, but the Gamecocks battled back with 14 points in the third quarter to build a 30-17 lead entering the fourth quar-ter. The Lumberjacks tied the game at 30-30, after going 95 yards in 10 plays in the final three minutes to force overtime. Both teams scored touchdowns on their first possession of overtime. The ‘Jacks then took a 44-37 lead after scoring on a 4th and goal play from the eight yard line, a pass from Wes Pate to Courtney Garcia. The Gamecocks then took over, but was unable to score as Reggie Stancil’s pass fell incompete in the end-

zone on 4th down.

In 2003, JSU’s first season in the Ohio Valley Conference, the Gamecocks led for more than 59 minutes, but Murray State rallied from a 17-10 fourth quar-ter deficit and marched 71 yards in seven plays and tied the game with just :24 remaining in the game. In the game, senior kicked Steven Lee set a school record by kicking a 52-yard field goal during the second quarter, the Citronelle, Ala., native finished the game with three field goals. In the overtime period, the Gamecocks took possession and failed to gain a first down. Lee’s 39-yard field goal sailed wide right, so Murray State took over. On the second play, Ulysses ran 20 yards up the middle to score a touchdown as the Racers handed JSU its only OVC loss during the 2003 championship season.

The Gamecocks picked up their first-ever over-time win in 2006 with a 17-10 road win at Tennessee Tech. Junior quarterback Matt Hardin connected on a 17-yard pass to Taurean Rhetta for the JSU win. TTU tied the game at 10-10 with 4:31 left in the fourth after Derek White scored on a six-yard run and Nate Johnson kicked the point after. The Gamecocks took the ensuing kickoff and drove to the TTU 26-yard line and Gavin Hallford attempted a 43-yard field goal into a strong and gusty wind, but his attempt was just short as time expired. JSU went on offense first and Hardin completed a 12-yard pass to Rhetta down to the TTU 13. Clay Green then was hit for a four-yard loss back to the 17 before Hardin connected with Rhetta for the game winning score. The Gamecock defense then answered the call and JSU’s Devin Phillips stopped TTU’s Brent McNeal on fourth down to seal the win.

Paul Snow Memorial StadiumSince Paul Snow Stadium opened in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 230-92-8 record at home. Under Crowe, the Gamecocks are 31-15 all-time at home.

The stadium is currently in the midst of

a $47 million expansion. The new facil-ity will consist of seven stories, with the bottom four floors dedicated to nearly 400 dorm beds. The top three floors will include 33 luxury skyboxes, a new press area, coaches booths, radio and televi-sion broadcast facilities, and a game management booth. The stadium will also include the addition of 5,258 seats and will push the capacity of Paul Snow Stadium to 24,000.

The stadium underwent renovations in 1976 with the addition of the east end zone and south sideline seats. The field-house also also constructed at the west end zone to enclose the stadium and then in the summer of 2005, the natural playing surface was replaced with Pro-Grass synthetic surface.

Improvements in 2007 included two new scoreboards and the addition of “Gamecock Vision” a new video replay scoreboard. It is located in the east end-zone and features a 14’ x 24’ ProStar VideoPlus Display that is one of the largest in the OVC. The video replay system utilizes the V-Link 4000 Video Processor and the Venus 7000 Controler. The scoreboard now spans 8’ by 48’ with LED Team Name Message Centers.

On the Gamecock Field House, a new scoreboard was installed as Paul Snow Stadium becomes the only school in the OVC with two scoreboards. The new boards feature a state of the art control booth, located under the east end zone.

Jacksonville State’s first win in renovated Paul Snow Memorial Stadium came the hard way, in 1978, but it is one Gamecock fans remember well.

The Gamecocks, facing the top defen-sive team in the nation, came up with several clutch plays to register a 10-7 victory over Southeastern Louisiana of Hammond, Louisiana.

Jax State used a touchdown pass from Mike Watts to Donald Young and a field goal by Rocky Riddle to down SLU. The first loss in the stadium came at the hands of Nicholls State earlier in the first home game , 19-17. JSU led 17-7, but two long scoring plays and a last minute touchdown cost JSU the win.

GLOSSARyPerfect SeasonsThere has been a total of three in more than 105 years that Jax State has played football. The 1917 squad finished 9-0-1 and allowed just two points the entire season (JSU defeated Alabama Presbyterian, 6-2). The team posted 10 shut-outs, the most in school history. In 1947, the Gamecocks went 9-0, including a 7-0 win over Florida State. JSU was the only undefeated and untied team that season and posted five shut-outs. Charley Pell and the Gamecocks finished the 1970 season with a perfect 10-0 record, including a 21-7 win over Florida A&M in the Orange Blossom Classic played in Miami’s Orange Bowl.

PlayoffsJacksonville State has been to 12 NCAA football playoffs (1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004) and has a 15-11 record in post-season action. JSU advanced all the way to the NCAA Division II Championship Game at the Pioneer Bowl in Wichita Falls, Tex, in 1977. The Gamecocks also played in the title game in 1989 and 1991 before winning the schools first football cham-pionship in 1992. JSU has a perfect 11-0 record in home playoff games and is 4-11 in road playoff games.

Professional FootballThe Gamecocks have had numerous players drafted and signed by profes-sional teams in the National Football League, the World Football League, the United State Football League, the Arena Football Leagues and the Canadian Football League. The most prominent have been Dieter Brock, who led the Winnapeg Blue Bombers to the CFL title and earned MVP honors, Keith McKeller, who played in four consecutive superbowls with the Buffalo Bills, Terry Owens, who signed with the San Diego Chargers in 1965 and played offensive line for many, many years and Eric Davis, who earned All-Pro honors as a defensive back with the San Fransico ‘49ers and the Carolina Panthers. He was the first JSU player to earn a Super Bowl ring. Montressa

Kirby helped the Hamilton Tiger Cats to the 1999 Grey Cup Championship of the CFL and Delvin Hughley was a member of the Colorado Crush in 2005 that won the AFL Championship.

Retired NumbersIn the history of Jacksonville State football, only two numbers have been retired - No. 33 and No. 66. Boyce Callahan (33), an Anniston native, was a Little All-American. Callahan rewrote the record books in his four years at Jacksonville. He gained 1,293 yards as a freshman, which was the standard for a single season until 2003. He is the all-time career rushing leader with 4,327 yards and has the second-best single-gamer performance after rushing for 275 yards against North Alabama in 1970. Johnny Newman (66), a guard from Hartselle, Ala., died during spring training for the 1969 season. Newman played for the Gamecocks in 1967 and 1968 before his death. The 1969 Media Guide and sea-son was dedicated to his memory.

Statistical ChampionsJax State has had five individual NCAA national statistical champions. John Williams led the country in rushing in 1947 after gaining 931 yards on 150 carries. In 1981, punter Gregg Lowery led the nation with a 43.5 punting aver-age on 64 punts. In 1992, All-American Danny Lee finished the season with a 39.4 yard average per kick return on 12 returns. In the 2004 season, All-American Craig Agee led the nation in punt returns as a sopho-more, finishing with 18 returns for a 20.5 yard average and two touchdowns. In 2007, junior kicker Gavin Hallford tied the OVC

record for field goals in a season (22) and led the NCAA with 2.00 field goals per game.

TelevisionThe Gamecocks have made numerous appearances on regional or national tele-vision over the years. Gamecock football games have been telecast nationally by ABC, ESPN and ESPN2, and region-ally by Fox SportsNet and Comcast/Charter Sports. The Gamecocks are scheduled to appear locally on WJXS-TV 24 for all home games again this season.

“WHUP TROY!”This famous slogan is heard around the Jax State campus all year, espe-cially during the Troy State game week. The phrase is credited to former JSU head football coach Charley Pell. The Gamecocks lost the 1969 game 37-6 to the Trojans and following the game, Coach Pell told his players in the dressing room that next season, the Gamecocks would “Whup Troy”. The following year, the Gamecocks did just that, taking the Trojans to the wood-shed with a 55-10 JSU win enroute to a perfect 10-0 record and a victory in the Orange Blossom Classic.

1977 Grantland Rice BowlJacksonville State University enjoyed one of its finest moments in the school’s athletic history, when the Gamecocks defeated North Dakota State, 31-7, before a capacity crowd in the Grantland Rice Bowl.The game, played in Anniston and on ABC regional television, belonged to the Gamecocks from the opening whistle. Jax State advanced to the finals of the NCAA Division II playoffs with the vic-tory.Jacksonville State rolled up 223 yards rushing while holding North Dakota State to 148 and had 180 yards passing to the Bisons’ 96 yards. Tailback Pat Clements gained 101 yards to pace the win.Defensive tackles Jesse Baker was named the top defensive player while Bobby Ray Green, JSU quarterback, was tabbed as the top offensive player. Each player was rewarded with a scholarship in their name by Chevrolet and ABC. Donald Young caught five passes for 92 yards to lead all receivers.

1977 Pioneer BowlJacksonville State University fought Lehigh University on even terms for three quarters, but the powerful team from Pennsylvania finally wore down the smaller Gamecocks and went on to win 33-0 in the Pioneer Bowl Game in Wichita Falls, Texas.The game, which decided the Division II national championship, was played in sub-zero weather. Jax State also played without its starting quarterback, Bobby Ray Green, the final three quarters as he left with a head injury.

Lehigh quarterback Mike Rieker, an All-American, showed why he made the All- American squad as he passed for two touchdowns and ran for another. He amassed 305 yards of total offense for the day. Lehigh’s defense also played a fine game, forcing six turnovers.

1970 Orange Blossom ClassicJacksonville State University’s 21-7 victory over Florida A&M in the Orange Blossom Classic in Miami, Fla., will go down in the history as one of the top victories in Gamecock football history.The victory was not an upset. If fact, the Jaxmen were favored. But, the fact it was played before 35,000 fans on television and climaxed a perfect 10-0 season, made the victory especially sweet.As expected, Boyce Callahan was the start of the show. The dazzling freshman won Most Valuable Player honors with a record-smashing 222 yards in 32 carries. It was not his best effort of the year, because he ran for 275 yards in the home-coming game earlier against North Alabama.Jacksonville State jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first half on a one-yard run in the first quarter, but had to rally in the

final period to take the victory. Callahan, after a beautiful 39-yard sprint to the three-yard line, scored on a short run to make the score 14-0 following Danny Kemp’s second of three extra points.Florida A&M came back to close the gap to 14-7 on a 19-yard pass from Steve Scruggs to Al Sykes, but Jax State wrapped it up minutes later on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Doc Lett to Terry Owens. Jax State only attempted 11 passes, completing four for the night.The trip was very enjoyable for the Gamecocks as they took a short vacation fol-lowing the game. The team was headquartered on Miami Beach.

1955 Refrigerator BowlJacksonville State’s fourth trip was probably it’s finest. Jax State whipped Rhode Island, 12-10, in the Refrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Indiana.The hero of the game had to be Billy Hicks. Jax State’s 235-pound fullback. Jacksonville State had to come from behind twice to take the victory, 3-0 and 10-6. Hicks accounted for 58 of the 70 yards on the first Jax State touchdown scoring drive, scoring from the one, while reserve fullback Chester Skates crashed across from the one with three min-utes left in the game to give the victory to the Alabama visitors.Rhode Island went into the game heavily favored to take the game, but Coach Don Salls’ charges had different ideas. Bill Clark’s interception set up the final Jax State touchdown, which began at the Rams’ nine-yard line.

1950 Paper BowlJacksonville State returned to the Paper Bowl for a third straight time in 1950, the final time as the bowl game was dropped later, but it wasn’t as successful as the first two trips to Pensacola, Fla.The Gamecocks, playing a fine Pensacola Cards Navy team, fell 7-6 as Jax State failed to convert its extra point attempt.

Charles Stough, Gamecock quarterback, ran 12 yards for the only Jax score, but the PAT attempt was short and in the end, it proved to be the difference in the game.

1949 Paper BowlA second trip to the Paper Bowl was extra sweet to the Gamecocks of Jacksonville State. Not only did the Gamecocks hang up their second bowl win, but in the process, avenged an early sea-son loss to Livingston.The Gamecocks, led by the running and passing of Terry Hodges and the pass receiving

of John Meadows,

whipped Livingston, 12-7.Hodges rolled up 103 yards rushing on 13 trips and fired two touchdown passes to

Meadows covering 38 and 35 yards. For the game, Jax State had 130 yards rushing and 120 passing as compared to Livingston’s 97 rush-ing and 79 passing. Jacksonville State intercepted three passes.

1948 Paper BowlJacksonville State’s first bowl trip in history was a pleasant one for the Gamecocks. Coach Don Sall’s charges

whipped rival Troy State, 19-0, in the first annual Paper Bowl in Pensacola, Fla.

Robert Williams, Blackie Heath and Gordon Terry led the Gamecocks 77 yards early in the game for a quick 6-0 lead. Later, Heath pass six yards to L.C. Garner and John Smith returned an interception 25 yards for the final 12 points. A sellout crowd was on hand for the game.

By Wayne MartinThe Birmingham News

FLORENCE ˜ The Braly Stadium score-board said fourth and six from the 22 with

29 seconds left for the defending NCAA Division II national champion Pittsburg State.

But for Jacksonville States defense it was fourth and forever. There could be no next year for the Gamecocks, no second chance. There could be no more rebuild-

ing and coming back for another shot. Twenty-nine more ticks, and Jacksonville State football would be forever parted from Division II competition.

But Jacksonville State’s Eric King stepped in front of Pitt State Quarterback Ron Hutchins pass in the end zone, swatted it to the ground to preserve a 17-13 Gamecocks victory before 11,733 fans. The name Jacksonville State will now forever be inscribed as the 1992 Division II National Champion.

It’s Jacksonville State’s first title in football, soothing the anguish of the three previous futile visits to the cham-pionship game. Next season Pittsburg State, the 1991 champion from Kansas can return, but Jacksonville can not defend. The Gamecocks enter a com-pliance period on the way to reclassifi-cation to Division I-AA.

“If its all right with you,” said JacksonvilleState Coach Bill Burgess, “I’m not going to talk about mov-ing up right now. I could care less.” Jacksonville State had spotted the Gorillas a touchdown lead on the opening kickoff off Harlon Hill Trophy winner Ronald Moore raced virtually untouched 99 yards to score. “Our staff had decided not to kick to

him,” Burgess said, “but to show how smart I am. I changed my mind just before kickoff.”

But that was Moore’s moment of glory. After that he butted heads with Jacksonville’s defense, and was frustrated at every turn. His longest gain was just

12 yards, and he didn’t score a rushing touchdown. The Gorillas‚ other came on a 38-yard Hutchin to Ray Staten pass that gave Pitt a 13-3 lead with 9:14 left in the second quarter.

The Jacksonville State defense wasn’t to be scored on again, however, and the offense did just enough to win. “Our win was a combination of things,” Burgess said. “Our offense made first downs and ran time of the clock to keep their offense off the field. And our defense made the big Plays.”

At the end, Jacksonville State had posted 24 first downs, 23 of them rush-ing and 1 of them on a penalty. Three Jacksonville players, two of them fullbacks, had more yards than Pittsburg’s Moore. Sean Richardson had 106 yards on 23 tries and Terence Bowens had 92 on 20. Quarterback Chuck Robinson added 110 yards on 15 carries and Jacksonville’s offense had 390 yards on the ground to just 156 for Pitt as a team.

Jacksonville’s Robinson only threw the ball four times and completed two for 5 yards. His last pass was an interception just before halftime.

“Their ability to run the ball inside was the key,” said Pittsburg coach Chuck Broyels, “They just kept the ball away from our offense.”

Moore never broke stride on the opening kickoff, and 13 seconds after the game started, Pitt led 6-0. The Gorillas decided to go for two, and that was crucial down the stretch. They missed, soon their final

drive, they needed a touchdown, for a field goal wouldn’t good enough for a tie.

“We have the option of going for two if we outnumbered them on one side.” Broyels, said, “We haven’t done it since 1985, but it is the quarterback’s call.” This time the JSU defense dragged Moore down short and the comeback started. “Our players never slowed down,” Burgess said, “never gave up.”

It was too early to panic so Jacksonville State chipped away. They drove to the Pitt 18, but two penalties stalled the drive and a Slade Stinnett field goal from 42 yards out cut the lead in half with 12:35 left in the second.

The Gamecocks chose to kick short this time, keeping the ball out of Moore’s hands, but gave Pitt the Ball just 52 yards from the goal. Seven Plays later

Hutchins hit a diving Staten and it was a 13-3 game.

It was Jacksonville State the rest of the way, heroes divided equally between offense and defense. The Gamecocks went on a 15 play, 78-yard drive the consumed 6:51on the clock and ended just 2:23 from halftime with Danny Lee rushing in from the 8. Stinnett kicked JSU to within 3 points at 13-10.

Then on the first possession of the second half the scoring ended. Jax State drove 71-yards on just 8 plays. Richardson went the final 5 and Stinnett kick to make it 17-13. Stinnett could have provided a cushion, but just missed field goal tries from 36 yards out and again from 43. Pitt got its last show with 2:41 left when Jacksonville missed by two inches on fourth down at the Pitt 23, and the defense had it’s back against forever.

Nine plays and 3 first downs later it was fourth down at the Jacksonville 22 with 29 seconds left Shad Klinge went into the end zone, and Jacksonville’s King went with him. “I was lucky to get to it,” King said, “I saw him (Klinge) look up for the ball, and I looked up. The quar-terback kind of floated it, and I was able to get a hand on it and knock it down.”

So the frustration ended for Jacksonville State. In three previous championship games, dating to 1977, the Gamecocks had been shut out twice and had scored a grand total of six points in champion-ship games.

They lost to Lehigh 33-0, to Mississippi College 3-0,and to Pittsburg State 23-6. This time the tears were tears of joy, and the hugs were celebration instead of consolation.

Entering its 61st year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In 2008, for only the second time in the past decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003.

The OVC’s proud 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 confer-ence. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.

In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers bro-ken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans.

Through the past 60 years, 14 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 19 outright or shared football crowns, including the 2007 championship when they compiled a perfect 8-0 league record. Former OVC member Middle Tennessee is next with 11, followed by Tennessee Tech with nine, and Murray State and former member Western Kentucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed four football crowns (including winning the title outright in 2005 and sharing the crown with UT Martin in 2006) while Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, UT Martin (which captured its first crown in 2006) and former member Youngstown State have one title apiece.

Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers partici-

pated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky

and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid 1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA.

The first Division I-AA 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. EKU was coached by former All-America quarterback Roy Kidd, who was in his 16th year at the helm of his alma mater and who skippered the Colonels to a second nation-al title three years later. Following the 2002 season, Kidd retired after 39 years at EKU, a one-school tenure unmatched in Division I football. Upon retirement, he ranked sixth all-time among Division I coaches with 315 victo-ries, earning him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. Eastern Kentucky appeared in its 18th NCAA Playoff in 2008, the most of any team nationally.

In addition to Kidd, other coaching legends in the OVC include Charles (Bubber) Murphy, who coached at Middle Tennessee from 1947-1968, Western Kentucky’s Jimmy Feix (1968-83), Wilburn Tucker (1954-67) and Don Wade (1968-82) of Tennessee Tech, Bill Ferguson (1967-77) of Murray State, Guy Penny (1959-67) of Morehead State and Boots Donnelly (1977-78 at Austin Peay; 1979-1998 at Middle Tennessee).

A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were all-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving star-dom at the professional ranks, include Jim

Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Ray Oldham (Middle Tennessee) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). EIU also holds the unique distinction of having three

alumni serving as current head coaches in the National Football League – Brad

Childress (Minnesota Vikings), Sean Payton (New Orleans Saints) and Mike Shanahan (Denver Broncos). Another alum – Jerry Reese, who was both a player and coach at UT Martin – became general manager

of the New York Giants in 2007 and led the franchise to a Super Bowl

Championship in his first season on the job.

The 2007 season marked a return to scholar-ship football and the Ohio Valley Conference for the Austin Peay State Governors. Following the 1996 season, the Governors dropped schol-arship football and competed as both an inde-pendent (1997-00, 2006) and as a member of the Pioneer Football League (2001-05). Austin Peay returned to full OVC status in 2007 under the watch of first-year head coach Rick Christophel, who quarterbacked the Govs from 1971-75. Christophel led the team, who was picked last in a preseason poll, to a 7-4 overall and 5-3 OVC record, which was good enough for third place.

The 2007 season also brought new vernacular to the Ohio Valley Conference and the division of football formerly known as I-AA. Beginning with the 2006 National Championship game the term I-AA was changed to NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in a decision by the Division I Board of Directors. The new label was chosen to communicate in a positive and clear manner the unique differ-ences between the Division I football categories (chiefly, the post-season opportunity) while still defining them within the Division I experi-ence. The FCS includes programs that com-pete in an effort to participate in the NCAA championship postseason structure (one of 88 NCAA national championships) as opposed to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) which competes in an effort to participate in the post-season bowl system (the 32 NCAA-licensed events which includes the Bowl Championship Series).

In 2008, the NCAA Board of Directors approved an expansion to the FCS Playoffs, increasing the playoff field to 20 teams begin-ning in the 2010 season. In marked the first expansion since the playoffs expanded from 12 to 16 teams in 1987.
