HEAD COACH BRETT GILLILAND Record setting quarterback and University of West Alabama Athletic Hall of Fame member Brett Gilliland came home on Dec. 9, 2013 to be named the 21st head football coach at his alma mater.

Now entering his fourth season as the Tigers head coach, Gilliland returned to West Alabama from Kennesaw State, where he was coaching quarterbacks. Previous coaching stops include Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern.

Gilliland led the Tigers to a 5-6 record in 2014, his first year back at his alma mater and his first season as a collegiate head coach. He followed the initial campaign with 7-4 records in both years two and three.

Following his playing days at UWA, Gilliland began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Georgia Tech before moving on to the offensive staff Georgia Southern. While at Georgia Tech, Gilliland was a part of three Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Coastal Division Championships (2006, 2008 and 2009).

In 2007, Gilliland worked with Yellow Jacket quarterbacks after assisting with the receiving corps in 2006, including Biletnikoff Award winner and current Detroit Lions star Calvin Johnson. Gilliland coached the running backs for two seasons at Tech, a group that included Doak Walker semi-finalist Jonathan Dwyer. Dwyer was the ACC rushing leader and player of the year in 2008.

In three seasons at Georgia Southern, Gilliland worked with the running backs (2010), tight ends and tackles (2011) and wide receivers (2012). He took over the recruiting coordinator duties following the conclusion of the 2011 season. With Gilliland on staff, Georgia Southern posted a 31-12 (.721) overall record, won two Southern Conference titles (2011, 2012) and made three consecutive NCAA Football Championship Series (FCS) semifinal appearances.

Gilliland was a regional finalist for the Harlon Hill trophy in 2003. He earned all-region recognition from the Football Gazette (2002). He concluded his career as the Tigers’ single-season (3,213) and career passing yards (6,689) record holder.

In 2012, he was inducted into the UWA Athletic Hall of Fame. At the conclusion of his playing career, Gilliland had posted four of the top 10 single game passing performances in school history, including a then school-record 470 yards against Valdosta State in 2002.

A two-time member of the All-Gulf South Conference Academic list, he was a two-time winner of the Asa Green Scholar-Athlete Award, an award presented to the UWA student-athlete with the highest grade-point average on the football team, winning it in 2001 and 2003.

A 2003 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District IV selection, he also was honored twice with a Gulf South Conference “Top Eight” award before graduating magna cum laude from UWA in 2004.

Gilliland and his wife, Amanda, are the parents of a son, Rece (6), and a daughter, Ella Kate (1).

REVIEWING THE 2017 SEASON Week 9 – West Alabama 35, West Florida 18

LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The players danced and chanted “Size Me Up” in the postgame locker room following West Alabama’s 35-18 Gulf South Conference football victory over West Florida at Tiger Stadium. West Alabama had just captured at least a tie for the 2017 GSC Championship, its first league title since 2013.

West Alabama took a 14-9 lead at half, trading UWF three field goals for a pair of touchdown passes by Harry Satterwhite.

Satterwhite connected with Donta Armstrong from 9 yards out on the first play of the second period and then found Tra Fletcher for a 15-yard scoring pass with 54 seconds left before the break. VSU’s Austin Williams kicked two 39-yard field goals and one from 22 yards in the second quarter.

The game was decided by the outcome of four red zone possessions by each team. Four UWA trips resulted in touchdowns. Four by UWF resulted in three field goals and a TD.

A 25-yard field goal by Williams was the only points of the third quarter,

Satterwhite found Corey Davis for a 5-yard TD pass to open fourth quarter scoring, while Lakenderic Thomas and Tyler Rogers finished it off with 26 and 1-yard touchdown runs, respectively.

UWF’s only touchdown of the game came on an 8-yard pass from Mike Beaudry to Caleb Robinson with 5:57 left.

West Alabama rolled up 410 yards of total offense to 371 for West Florida. UWA limited the Argos to just 100 rushing yards while the Tigers ran for 220.

Thomas carried 18 times for 106 yards to lead all rushers. Rogers added 58 yards in 15 trips for UWA. Jalen Spencer ran five times for 57 yards to pace West Florida.

Satterwhite finished 19-for-28 for 190 yards and three scores. Armstrong had seven receptions for 72 yards to lead West Alabama.

Jamal Blackwell led West Alabama defenders with 12 tackles, eight solo. He also intercepted a pass and had a tackle for loss.

Week 8 - Florida Tech 41, West Alabama 39

MELBOURNE, Fla. – Down three points with under two minutes to play, Florida Tech senior quarterback Mark Cato drove his team 78 yards on six plays, scoring the game winner himself on an 11-yard scramble with 51 seconds left as unranked FIT secured a 41-39 upset over No. 18 West Alabama.

The game almost resembled basketball on grass with the way it played out in runs and streaks. West Alabama jumped to a 14-0 lead and then 17-7 before Florida Tech scored 20 unanswered points to lead 27-17 after three quarters. West Alabama refused to go away, outscoring the Panthers 22-14 in the fourth period.

A 36-yard field goal by Colin Douglas with 1:53 left put UWA ahead 37-34, but Cato wasn’t done. He completed passes of 14, 11 and 42 yards to get FIT to the West Alabama 11, where he scrambled in for the win. The Panthers took a safety on the final play of the game to account for the final margin.

After three quarters FIT had outgained UWA 392 to 223, but the Tigers cranked up the pace to start the fourth period, going 68 yards on just five plays to cut the FIT lead to 27-24. Lakenderic Thomas capped the drive with a 4-yard run.

UWA rang up 240 yards of total offense in the fourth quarter to finish with 463 for the game. FIT had 484 total yards.

Harry Satterwhite completed 22-of-40 pass attempts for 342 yards and two touchdowns. His lone interception came on the Tigers final drive. Cato was also 22-of-40 for 345 yards and two scores. He was intercepted once by Tevin Madison, his fourth of the year.

Thomas led UWA ball carriers with 60 yards on 21 trips. Fletcher caught seven passes for 159 yards and Boyd hauled in five for 100 yards.

Devante Davis and Hibbler had six tackles each to lead the Tigers. Madison added four stops and two pass breakups to his interception.

Week 7 - West Alabama 34, West Georgia 31

LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Harry Satterwhite and Tra Fletcher connected on a 34-yard pass and run with 3:22 left, completing a 34-31 come-from-behind West Alabama victory over West Georgia in a battle of two nationally ranked teams at Tiger Stadium.

Ranked 15th in the D2Football poll and 23rd in the AFCA poll, West Alabama extended its winning streak to five games by beating a ranked opponent for the third time in four weeks.

The Wolves then drove to the UWA 23 before Jordan Jones blocked a 31-yard field goal attempts Trey Wiggins, but UWG was called for delay of game and handed another play to either tie or take the lead.

The Wolves opted to go for it on fourth-and-11 from the Tiger 28. Willie Candler’s pass was picked off by Tiger linebacker Khalia Hackett.

Satterwhite completed 29-of-42 for 308 yards and three touchdowns. He also hooked up with Corey Davis for scoring tosses of 26 and 16 yards. Lakendric Thomas scored on a 3-yard run, while Colin Douglas made field goals from 27 and 36 yards.

The game began with a penalty and points for West Georgia. The Wolves were penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct during warmups, but Devontae Jackson returned the opening kickoff from his own endzone to spot the Wolves a 7-0 lead.

Jackson scored again on a 77-yard run and Candler connected with Mikell Lands-Davis to give West Georgia a 21-14 lead after one quarter.

Candler used his legs to scored on a 6-yard run with 8:25 to play in the second quarter.

Jackson led all rushers with 169 yards on 22 carries and amassed 373 all-purpose yards.

Davis led all receivers with eight catches for 79 yards. Thomas ran for 62 yards on 15 carries.

Taderion Myhand piled up 12 tackles, nine solo, for West Alabama.

Week 6 - West Alabama 29, Delta State 26

CLEVELAND, Miss. - In a top 25 match-up that featured the top two offenses in the Gulf South Conference, it was the defenses and special teams that were the difference in a 29-26 West Alabama victory.

West Alabama built a 29-10 lead after three quarters, only to see Delta State cut the lead to the final margin before Vince Sciorrotta’s 27-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right with 1:05 left in the game.

Hanging on to a 29-24 lead with 3:53 left, Delta State picked up a safety when a Tiger punt snap sailed over punter Zach Gaines head and out of the end zone. After trading punts, the Statesmen had a chance to send the game to overtime, but Sciorrotta’s miss sealed the deal.

Delta State started fast, picking up 89 yards on its first two drives, but the Tiger defense limited the league’s top rushing offense to just 36 yards on the next seven drives.

The Tigers and Statesmen traded interceptions right before the half. Tevin Madison corralled his third of the year, but DSU returned the favor when Jamoral Graham intercepted Harry Satterwhite to set up 54-yard TD pass from Collin Willis to Willis Chambers to make the halftime score 16-7 UWA.

West Alabama took control of the football game in the third quarter, outgaining Delta State 180 to 42 total yards, only to see the Statesmen outgain the Tigers 148-0 in the fourth period.

Colin Douglas had a 25-yard field goal in the second period. Satterwhite and Tra Fletcher hooked up on a 42-yard scoring pass and Taderion Myhand scooped up a DSU fumble and returned it 23 yards for a TD with 2:42 left in the half.

Tyler Rogers popped a 62-yard run for a touchdown with two minutes gone in the second half to stretch UWA’s lead to 22-10. A 38-yard Sciorrotta field goal and a 1-yard run by Lakenderic Thomas gave the Tigers a 29-10 lead.

Willis scored on a 4-yard run and Sciorrotta kicked two more field goals, from 43 and 32 yards, in the fourth quarter.

The Tigers had 12 tackles for loss and forced three turnovers. UWA lost one fumble.

Week 5 – West Alabama 62, Shorter 0

LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Harry Satterwhite threw four touchdown passes and several West Alabama players recorded big nights as the Tigers demolished Shorter, 62-0.   West Alabama racked up 655 total yards while limiting Shorter to just 145.

It was the Tiger defense that scored first on a night where seven different UWA players contributed points. Se'Quan Steele picked off SU quarterback Tyler Pullum and returned it 12 yards for the Tigers first score less than three minutes into the game.  

Satterwhite, who finished 27-for-36 for 248 yards, found Tra Fletcher on a 32-yard TD pass at 8:48 in the first period to make it 14-0 Tigers. 

Lakenderic Thomas gained 124 yards on just 13 carries to give him 211 rushing yards over the last two games.  

Colin Douglas kicked field goals of 30 and 26 yards. 

Qua Boyd and Broc Malcom both caught four passes and both had their first touchdown catches, Boyd's a 7-yarder from Satterwhite and Malcom's a 73-yard catch-and-run jewel from Gabe Tiller, who was 5-of-7 for 123 yards in relief of Satterwhite. 

Terry Samuel had seven tackles to lead the Tigers, including a pair of sacks and a forced fumble. Tavarius Hutchinson and Kejuan Feagan had five stops apiece. Hutchinson caused and recovered a fumble, while Jordan Jones recorded three tackles for loss, including a sack. 

The West Alabama defense recorded 12 tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
