Tech’s Athletic Performance Center: Building a Better Athlete

In the Spring of 2011, Tennessee Tech held the Grand Opening for its brand new, state-of-the-art Athletic Performance Center for Golden Eagle student-athletes. The 25,000 square-foot facility will benefit every Golden Eagle student-athlete. Considered as one of the finest such facilities in the Ohio Valley Conference, the APC features 10,000 square-feet for the strength & conditioning room and 10,000 square-feet for indoor practice. At an estimated cost of $2 million, the facility is located west of the softball complex close to Pine Ave. To help Tech’s student-athletes by providing sup-port for the purchase of equipment, please contact Kevin Bostian, associate athletics director for Development, either by phone (931-372-3929) or email him at:[email protected].

ne of the byproducts of a long and successful coaching career is a checklist of big numbers. Wins and losses. Players who receive their col-lege degrees. Friendships, fans and memories. All of those totals really begin to pile up. For Watson Brown, entering his 42nd season as a collegiate coach and his 30th as a head coach, many of those numbers are, quite simply, incredible. During the past season, Brown was on the sidelines for his 300th career game as a head coach. And, later in the season, Watson and his brother Mack, then the head coach of the Texas Longhorns, achieved an historic milestone, earning more Division I combined coaching victories by brothers than any other coaching brother combination in history. The Brown brothers finished 2013 with 365 career combined victories, surpassing the record of 362 previously held by Vince and Bill Dooley. But, when Watson roams the sidelines, none of those personal milestones is in his thoughts — he is, quite simply, out to lead the Golden Eagles to their second Ohio Valley Conference championship under his direction.

After guiding Tech to a share of the 2011 OVC title, his program hit a major detour in 2012 when injuries wiped out the roster. The veteran coach kept his program moving for-ward, but in 2013 the injury bug was more selective, sidelining less players but taking down some of the team’s most vital offensive weapons. This year the Golden Eagles are hoping to reap the benefits of those injuries — many, many players got to see game action in the past two years in place of those who were injured. Brown’s staff has done a re-markable job in recruiting the past several years, and has raised the talent level walking the sidelines in Tucker Stadium. And Brown has also kept a keen eye focused on success in the class-room. This past summer, Tech was honored by the Football Champion-ship Subdivision Athletic Director’s Association (FCS ADA) for having the “highest APR in 2012-13” in the OVC. The team has also consistently improved its overall combined team GPA, posting the two highest semes-ter totals during the past year. Born and raised in Cookeville, Watson Brown came back home in 2007 to take the helm of the Golden Eagle program. Five years later, he led Tech to its first OVC title in 36 years. The veteran coach has used an even-tempered approach to teach his young staff and players. The 2014 season will be his eighth season at the Tech helm. Brown, 64, was named in December 2006 as the new head football coach of the Tennessee Tech University Golden Eagles. He re-turned to his hometown as the 10th head football coach in Tech history. Brown has previously coached at two schools that are members of

12



the Ohio Valley Conference, serving as head coach at Austin Peay for two years and assistant coach at Jack-sonville State, then a Division II program, for two years. Brown returned to the town where he was a talented baseball, football and basketball player at Cookeville High School. He signed with Vanderbilt out of high school and was a standout quarterback for the Commodores from 1969-72. He is best remembered by many Commodore fans for leading Vandy to a 14-10 victory over Alabama in 1969. Brown was named the Sports Illustrated National Back of the Week for his ef-forts. In his stint as TTU head coach, Brown has worked hard in his effort toward rebuilding the Golden Eagles into Ohio Valley Conference champions and has had the support of the community and the Upper Cumber-land Region. A popular speaker, Brown has addressed numerous clubs and organizations throughout the region during his time at Tech. Raising the talent level at Tech is a key step in taking the Golden Eagles to a conference champion-ship. It’s a step that Brown is familiar with — after all, working to rebuild struggling programs has been a calling card for Watson Brown. The remarkable growth of the UAB program un-der Brown’s guidance was a major factor in UAB’s entry into Conference USA play in 1999. That year for their C-USA debut, the Blazers recorded a 5-6 overall record against a brutal all FBS schedule, finishing in a four-way tie for second place with a 4-2 league record. Under Brown, UAB was bowl-eligible three times in seven seasons and in 2004 attained its previously elusive first bowl invitation with a trip to Honolulu to play in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl. A proven veteran in the coaching profession, Brown is known as one of the best offensive minds in football. He made his head coaching debut in 1979 in the Ohio Valley Conference directing the Austin Peay Gov-ernors, and at age 29, he was one of the youngest head coaches in the nation. He posted 7-4 records in both 1979 and 1980, twice being runner-up for Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year honors. Brown began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Vanderbilt in 1973 and was a full-time as-

sistant coach for the first time in 1974 as Pat Dye’s quarterbacks and receiv-ers coach at East Carolina. The Pirates were 7-4 in 1974 and 8-3 in 1975, posting victories over several Atlantic Coast Conference opponents. Brown was the offensive coordinator at Jacksonville State University in 1976 and 1977 (at the time JSU was a Division II program, and currently is a member of the OVC). During those two seasons, the Gamecocks finished 7-4 and 11-3, and played for the Division II national championship in 1977. Brown was the quarterbacks and receivers coach at Texas Tech in 1978, where the Red Raiders posted a 7-4 record in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year.

While serving as offensive coor-dinator at Vanderbilt for two seasons (1981-82), Brown’s offense set 57 school records and the Commodores posted an 8-3 record and made a Hall of Fame Bowl appearance (1982). In 1983, Brown was head coach at Cincinnati, where he led the Bearcats to a season-opening 14-3 victory at defending national cham-pion Penn State. He ranks that road victory as one of the most memo-rable in his long coaching career. Before coaching at Vanderbilt, Brown was athletic director and head football coach at Rice (1984-85). He led the Owls to two of their best of-fensive seasons.

15



From 1986-90, Brown was the head coach at Vanderbilt, his alma mater. In 1991 and 1992, Brown was the offensive coordinator at Missis-sippi State under head coach Jackie Sherrill. During those two seasons, the Bulldogs posted a 14-10 record, made two bowl appearances and upset three nationally-ranked oppo-nents. Prior to going to UAB, Brown was the offensive coordinator at the University of Oklahoma (1993-94). Coaching is a big part of Brown’s family. His brother Mack Brown was the head coach, most recently at Texas, and won a national championship with the Longhorns. His grandfather, Eddie “Jelly” Watson, was a legendary prep football coach, compiling a 106-51-13 record at Cookeville High School. Brown’s brother Mel resides in Cooke ville. Watson Brown is married to the former Brenda Arnold, and they have two children; daughter Ginny, who was a four-year letter-winner at Georgia State University (1996-00), and a son Steven, who was a wide receiver/quarterback for the Golden Eagles in 2007 and is currently a member of his father’s coaching staff. After filling a role as a graduate assistant coach in 2008, Steven is now an assistant coach and the team’s offensive coordinator. Watson Brown is Tech’s 10th head football coach since 1922, join-ing the ranks of Loyall Duck, Putty Overall, Hooper Eblen, Star Wood, Wilburn Tucker, Don Wade, Gary Dar-nell, Jim Ragland and Mike Hennigan. Brown’s many achievements as a student-athlete and later as a coach in the state of Tennessee have not gone unnoticed. Seven years ago he was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

Dewayne Alexander returned to Tech in January 2013 as assistant head coach, and heads into his second season coaching the offensive linemen. A former player and coach at Tennessee Tech, he served as head coach at Cumberland University for seven seasons prior to his return to Cookeville. Alexander earned two degrees from Tech and was a four-year member of the football team and a three-year letterwinner as a defensive lineman. He has been back at Tech twice previously as an assistant coach. During his time at Cumberland, his teams had 44 all-conference honorees and 101 conference Scholar-Athletes. Cumberland tied for the Mid-South Confer-ence West Division championship in 2008 and played for the conference title in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Thirty-nine players were named NAIA National Scholar-Ath-letes, while 20 garnered conference Player of the Week accolades and five NAIA Na-tional Players of the Week. The club led the nation with 16 NAIA Scholar-Athletes in 2012. A 1988 graduate of TTU with a degree in political science and a minor in English, Alexander played four seasons on the defensive line for the Golden Eagles, one year under coach Gary Darnell, and three for coach Jim Ragland. Following graduation, he spent eight seasons at Hendersonville High School, his prep alma mater, as football, wrestling and softball coach, before re-turning to the Upper Cumberland region in 1996 to serve as assistant principal and head football coach at Jackson County High School. His collegiate coaching career began in 1997 when he took a position at Tech as an assistant on coach Mike Hennigan’s staff, working with runningbacks for two seasons before being named head coach at Upperman High School. While at Tech, he earned a master’s in Instructional Leadership. In 2001, he was offensive coordinator at Gallatin High School and in 2002 he came back to Tech as defensive line coach for one more year, working with Buck Buchanan Award finalist D.J. Bleisath. In 2003, he was offered the head coaching position at Wilson Central High School in Lebanon and in 2006, he was named head coach at Cumberland University. In seven seasons, his Bulldog teams posted a 41-33 overall record and in his final three years at Cumberland, Alexander led the team to a combined 23-9 overall record. Alexander was named the NAIA Region I Coach of the Year and Tennessee Sportswriters Association Coach of the Year. Dewayne and his wife, Angela, have four children — son Hayden (19/currently on the Golden Eagle roster ), daughter Kate (13), and twin sons Ross and John (11).

Sam Williamson is in his eighth season as the defensive line coach at Tech, and also serves as assistant head coach for defense. A former player and volunteer assistant coach for Watson Brown at UAB, Williamson also coordinates the running game defense. In 2011, on the way to winning a share of the OVC title, the Golden Eagle de-fense ranked first in the OVC and was first in the league in rushing defense, allowing only 148.5 yards per game. Williamson has helped shape the careers of several notable Tech defenders, inculuding last year’s senior standouts Jordan Johnson and Lamar Moore, and this year will work with a wide variety of linemen ranging from fifth-year veterans to walk-on rookies. Williamson, 32, is a 2005 graduate of UAB where he was a four-year letterman as a defensive tackle for the Blazers. He is a native of Greenville, Ala. Following graduation, he spent one season as a volunteer assistant coach for the Blazers, helping to mold the defensive line. He worked in developing the talents of NFL players Jermaine McElveen and Kyle Bissinger. Williamson had the opportunity to learn Brown’s system as both a player and coach at UAB, and has been able to put that knowledge and experience to use in working toward building a winner at TTU. Elected as the captain of both the football and basketball teams at Greenville (Ala.) High School, Williamson continued in a leadership role with the Blazers during his collegiate career. He was twice named the team captain, twice chosen theConference USA Player of the Week, and was named to the C-USA Academic Honor Roll. A member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Williamson was also active in the Big Brother, Big Sister program in Birmingham during his playing career. A defensive tackle, he was a full-time starter his final two years and saw some additional starting duty as a sophomore in 2003. He finished his career with 106 total tackles, including 12 tackles-for-loss and four quarterback sacks. In 2004, he was on the field for the Blazers when they played in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl. Williamson received his bachelor’s degree in Justice Science in 2005, and was a volunteer assistant coach during the 2006 season, working with the defensive line. He also worked one year in the Sports Medicine and Fitness program at UAB, men-toring high school seniors and supervising student-athletes from high schools and middle schools. Williamson is the proud father of two sons, Braylon (6) and Braxton (1). He is engaged to Audrey Jackson of Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Steven Brown, 30, made the move from the playing field to the coaching staff in 2007, spending one season as a graduate assistant on Watson Brown’s staff. In 2008 he moved into an assistant coaching role and in 2012 he took on the duties of Offensive Coordinator. In addition to coordinating the offense, he also coaches the running-backs and receivers. It was under his direction that a pair of recent quarterbacks thrived. First Lee Sweeney set numerous school records, then Tre Lamb stepped in and re-wrote many of those same marks. An experienced player who enjoyed two successful seasons at UAB and one at Tech, Steven had one season of eligibility remaining in 2008 but passed on the chance to play his final year for the opportunity to begin his coaching career. The son of head coach Watson Brown, Steven played two seasons at UAB then transfered to Tech in 2007 where he played both wide receiver and quar-terback for the Golden Eagles. A highly recruited prep quarterback out of high school, he originally enrolled at Auburn in 2004, then moved to UAB and made the transition to re-ceiver in 2005. In 2006 he played in 11 of 12 games for the Blazers, ranking fifth on the team with 14 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns. In his one season for the Golden Eagles, he had 12 catches for 164 yards as an inside receiver. In the middle of the season, with injuries to the top three quarterbacks, Steven stepped under center and played quarterback. He finished the year going 22-for-34 for 252 yards and one touchdown, posting a 119.02 quarterback rating. In high school, he was named honorable mention on the Class 6A All-State team in 2003 as a senior quarterback, helping lead Vestavia Hills to a 12-2 record and an appearance in the state semifinals.

A veteran of more than 30 years in the coaching ranks, Donn Landholm joined coach Watson Brown’s Golden Eagle staff as an assistant coach early in 2013 to work with linebackers and special teams. In July of 2013, his assignment changed as he was selected as the defensive coordinator. He also directs the team’s indside linebackers. Landholm spent the four previous seasons on the Purdue staff where he worked with the outside linebackers, and was defensive coordinator for one year in 2009. He moved to Purdue in 2009 from Eastern Kentucky, where he coached from 1997 to 2008. Landholm was linebackers coach from 1997 to 2004, defensive coordinator from 2005 to 2007 and linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator in 2008. In 2005 and 2006, the Colonels ranked among the OVC’s top three in total defense, allowing merely 328.5 and 309.0 yards per game. The Colonels led the nation in turnover margin in 2007 at +18, with 35 takeaways (24 interceptions and 11 fumble recoveries). Landholm also was in charge of the Eastern Kentucky special teams from 2002 to 2007. In 2003, the Colonels led the nation with a 16.5-yard punt return average and, in 2006, they were ninth with a 22.9-yard kickoff return average. From 1993 to 1996, Landholm was the offensive line coach at Blinn (Texas) Junior College. Blinn won back-to-back junior college national championships in 1995 and 1996, going 12-0 both seasons. Prior to joining the Blinn staff, Landholm was an assistant at PSJA North High School in Pharr, Texas, in 1992.

Pat DONOHOE

v Defensive Ends / Outside LinebackersWhen he joined the Tennessee Tech football staff in 2013, Pat Donohoe was already a familiar face for head coach Watson Brown, and a veteran with 25 years of experience. Brown added Pat Donohoe to the Golden Eagle coaching staff in January 2013, where he directs Tennessee Tech’s defensive ends and outside linebackers. Donohoe, 60, not only brought 25 years’ experience as a Division I football assistant coach to Tech, he also returned to a role he previously had under Brown’s direction. A 1977 graduate of Wayne (Neb.) State, Donohoe coached for 10 years at UAB on the Blazer staff (1995-2004) under Brown. He spent six years in the private sector, then returned to the coaching ranks in 2012 at Austin Peay. Donohoe coached from 1995 to 2004 at UAB. Under his guidance, the Blazer defensive line was considered one of the nation’s best. During the 2001 season, UAB had the No. 1-ranked rush defense nationally and was No. 5 in total defense. Donohoe joined Brown’s UAB staff after two seasons as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State working with the defensive staff under head coach Jackie Sherrill. Prior to his position at Mississippi State, Donohoe coached at the University of Houston for 12 seasons (1980-1992), where his duties ranged from coaching linebackers and special teams to recruiting. Donohoe began his coaching career with a two-year stint at Boyden-Hull High School in Iowa. After spending one year each as first an assistant and then head coach, Donohoe returned to his alma mater, Wayne (Neb.) State, as a graduate assistant. During his playing days with Wayne State, Donohoe was a four-year starter at middle guard and earned NAIA All-America honors as Wayne State’s Athlete of the Year in his senior season. In three seasons, he was named both all-conference and the team’s Most Valuable Defensive Player. In 1998, he was inducted into the Nebras-ka Football Hall of Fame.

He has also coached at Massachusetts, Sacred Heart and Northeastern, helping win championships at every stop including the 1998 I-AA national championship while at UMass. Powell is from Newnan, Ga., and graduated from Newnan High School in 1993. He was a four-time letterwinner and three-year starter as a safety at More-house College, receiving his bachelor’s degree in 1997 in health and physical educa-tion. His first coaching position was at UMass, working as a graduate assistant with the Minutemen in 1998 and 1999.

Powell tutored Shannon James, a first-team all-conference selection and the 2004 Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year. That success earned him a position as assistant coach at Ball State for three years. During that span, his secondary intercepted 32 passes and led the Mid-America conference. Among his standout players was MVP Erik Keys, a 2007 free agent signee with the Tennessee Titans. In 2008, Powell helped Ball State to a 12-0 regular season record and the GMAC Bowl, finishing the year ranked 23rd nationally.

(IN 2011): Wilson spent his first season as a redshirt on the scout team.

HIGH SCHOOL: Steve was a multi-dimensional threat at Smyrna High School, helping the Bulldogs reach the TSSAA Class 5-A quarterfinals in 2008 and place as the 2010 Class 6-A runnerup...the team posted a 13-2 record in his senior season with him in the pocket...he was twice named all-District 7-AAA, and was also an all-region pick...completed 60 percent of his career pass attempts for 3,470 yards and 36 touch-downs with just 10 interceptions...rushed for 850 yards and four touch-downs...in his senior campaign, he was 128-for-212 for 1,650 yards and 13 touchdowns with six picks, and rushed for 600 yards.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Young players made huge plays to set the tone and Ten-nessee Tech scored on nine of its first 10 possessions to roll to a 63-7 opening night victory in non-conference action over Cumberland University in a very crowded Tucker Stadium. Sophomore return man Ladarius Vanlier was an absolute monster all over the field, despite playing just one half in the Golden Eagle victory. He earned his first career rushing score, scampering 52 yards to give Tech a 21-0 lead early in the second frame. Vanlier also broke a Tech record for longest punt return, taking one 93 yards to the house in the second quarter. He finished with 188 all-purpose yards in the half. Junior quarterback Darian Stone made the most of his opportunities, con-necting on eight of his 11 pass attempts for 143 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 36 yards on the ground on eight carries with two rushing scores. His four total touchdowns were a single-game high for the Clinton, Tenn. native. Redshirt freshman quarterback Jared Davis made his Golden Eagle debut and started his Tech career off on a high note. Davis connected with receiver Colton Belew for a 39-yard score on his only pass attempt of the game. Tech totaled 323 rushing yards as well as 182 yards through the air to mark the sixth time in head coach Watson Brown’s tenure that the offense accounted for at least 500 yards. Tech finished with 505 yards of total offense while Cumberland had 179, with 128 rushing and 51 through the air. The 56-point victory set a program mark as the largest opening day win in school history. Freshman Maleek Hall made a sensational diving catch in the end zone, grabbing a 16-yard toss from Stone for the game’s first score on the opening drive, a 10-play, 54-yard march after Vanlier opened the contest with a 44-yard

kickoff return. Following a four-yard TD run by Stone for a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter, Vanlier scored back-to-back touchdowns with a 52-yard run and his 93-yard punt return. “I think he ran a mile on that return,” kidded Brown in his post-game com-ments. Cody Matthews added a leaping catch against the sideline in the end zone for a 26-yard touchdown pass from Stone with 27 seconds left in the half for a 35-0 lead at halftime. Stone went nine yards and Stephen Bush 10 for third quarter touchdowns before Davis took over in the pocket. The first pass of his career was a perfectly thrown ball down the middle of the field that fellow redshirt freshman Colton Belew grabbed for the first catch of his career, a 39-yard TD to make it 56-0. The final score was a seven-yard run by freshman Isaiah McKinney to cap off a nine-play, 75 yard scoring drive in which Cody Forbes did much of the damage. Forbes, returning from an injury redshirt season, had a career-best 69 rushing yards on eight carries to top Tech’s balanced ground attack. In addition to Forbes, Bush, Vanlier and sophomore Radir Annor all netted 51 yards and McKinney added 47. With 71 players seeing action in the game, 32 different Golden Eagles made tackles. With so many players seeing action, nobody posted big num-bers as sophomore Bill Dillard and junior Tra’Darius Goff leading the tackle chart with seven each. Cory Webber and Avery Rollins each notched their first career intercep-tions, while Malcolm Mitchell had a team-best 1.5 tackles-for-loss, one quar-terback sack and forced a fumble. Rollins, Cory McDonald and Jimmy Laughlin also had sacks.

MADISON, Wis. – It was a typically strong Wisconsin Badger squad that hosted Tennessee Tech Saturday awash in a red-tinted Camp Randall Sta-dium and the defending Big Ten champion rolled to a 41-0 victory over the Golden Eagles in front of 77,785 bouncing, cheering fans. Tech (1-1) just couldn’t generate much offense as the Badgers (2-0) posted their second consecutive shutout to open the season. “We are going home a better team after playing Wisconsin,” said Golden Eagle head coach. “We faced a very, very good football team and I thought, for the most part, we competed with them. “Now we get ready for Hampton, and the next 10 games,” he added.As they did in their 45-0 opening day win over UMass, the Badgers put three runningbacks on display with all three topping the 100-yard mark. Wisconsin had 606 yards of offense, including 387 on the ground with four touchdowns. Corey Clement used a 75-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to pace the Badger ground game, finishing with 149 yards and two touchdowns on 13

carries, while Melvin Gordon added 140 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, mostly in the first half. James White rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. UW quarterback Joel Stave was 24-for-29 passing for 219 yards and three touchdowns. Golden Eagle quarterback Darian Stone, facing pressure throughout the contest, was 8-for-19 for 69 passing yards. He avoided any sacks. Stone led Tech’s rushing game with 16 yards on seven carries, while Stephen Bush had 15 yards and Cody Forbes finished with 13 yards. Krys Cates had two catches for 20 yards to lead the receivers. Defensively, Marty Jones led the chart with 10 tackles while cornerbacks James Huguely and Demario Donnell added eight tackles apiece. Malcolm Mitch-ell recorded Tech’s lone sack of Stave and had two tackles-for-loss. One other highlight Saturday was the punting of senior Chad Zinchini, who averaged 50 yards on nine punts, including a 70-yard blast that he got to bounce out-of-bounds inside the Badger one-yard line.

HAMPTON, Va. - Tennessee Tech junior quarterback Darian Stone showed exactly what he’s made of Saturday night, fighting back from cramps that sidelined him early in the second half to lift the Golden Eagles (2-1) to a 30-27, come-from-behind victory at Hampton University. While Stone engineered the game-winning drive, he would be the first to give credit to backup quarterback Jared Davis for putting Tech in position to pull out the victory. Trailing 20-10, Stone was replaced in the third quarter by the redshirt freshman, who drove Tech on a touchdown drive, then directed another scoring drive that ended with Zach Sharp’s second field goal of the contest, a 35-yarder that tied the contest at 20-20. Four minutes later, Sharp’s third field goal of the night – this one from 20 yards – put Tech on top, 23-20. That’s when Stone moved Tech’s offense 96 yards in 10 plays, firing a 32-yard touchdown pass to Cody Matthews on fourth-and-13, to make it a 10-point lead with 4:09 to go. “The offense had to get it going to win the game,” said head coach Watson Brown. “And it’s a lot harder when things aren’t going well to all of the sudden turn it around. We’re down 10 without our starting quarterback and Jared Davis takes us right down the field to score.” Hampton blitzed Tech for a 59-yard scoring drive to make it 30-27 with 1:43 remaining, but the Golden Eagles were able to run out the clock for their second win of the season and their first road victory since a 28-21 win at East-ern Kentucky in the 2011 championship season. Stone finished the game 14-for-28 passing for 158 yards and one touch-down, and also rushed 16 times for 52 yards and a score. Davis was 4-for-7 passing for 23 yards. Junior Cody Forbes was Tech’s leading rusher, carrying the ball 19 times for 72 yards , while Matthews finished the game with a career-high nine catches for 114 yards, the second 100-yard receiving game of his career.

Sophomore Ladarius Vanlier had an 80-yard kickoff return after Hampton went up 20-10, setting up the 19-yard scoring drive that Davis directed. “It (kick return) gave us great field position and then Jared finished it off by taking us into the end zone,” Brown said. “That’s what you’ve got to do. You’ve gotta find something to turn the momentum around and Ladarius helped us do that.” Tech finished the night with 84 plays for 340 yards of offense, while Hampton ran 65 plays for 245 yards. The Pirates were held to 55 rushing yards on 29 carries, and added 190 yards through the air. Hampton quarterback Jaylian Williamson was 22-for-36 for 190 yards with two touchdowns. Antwon Chisholm had six catches for 36 yards, including the clutch seven-yard touchdown in the final minutes. “It’s a very good win. It’s nice to win when you don’t play great and you just hang in there. They have very good returners and I think we did a good job of containing them,” Brown said. “They have a very solid defense and I think we finally got them tired in the middle of the third quarter. We just chipped away. We were down 10 with a young team on the road and not playing well. It’s one of the better wins we’ve had here. A lot of times it seems when we win, we play good.” Tech turned over the ball three times in its own end of the field, leading to three Hampton scores, and the homestanding Pirates looked to use those opportunities to stymie the Golden Eagles in the rematch from last year’s 41-31 TTU victory in Cookeville. Tech coughed up the ball at its own six-yard-line that led to an easy sev-en-yard touchdown for a 7-3 Hampton lead, and twice gave it up on returns. The first led to a 30-yard field goal for a 10-10 tie and the second to another touchdown to put the Pirates on top 20-10 in the third quarter. Bill Dillard topped Tech with eight tackles, while Marty Jones added seven and Austin Tallant six.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After falling behind 7-0 on the open-ing drive, the Tennessee State Tigers scored 34 unanswered points on the way to handing Tennessee Tech a 41-21 loss Saturday night in Tucker Stadium in the Ohio Valley Confer-ence opener for both teams. TSU (3-1/1-0 OVC) found its offense through the air, with quarterbacks Ronald Butler and Michael German combining to pass for 343 yards and four touchdowns. A.C Leonard had five catches for 122 yards and two touch-downs, including an 80-yard strike in the third quarter. The Golden Eagles (2-2/0-1 OVC) scored on a 79-yard, 12-play drive from the opening kickoff for a 7-0 lead but made numerous critical mistakes including losing three turnovers and being whistled for nine penalties for 65 yards. The first touchdown was scored by Golden Eagle senior center James Normand, who recovered a fumble in the end zone when quarterback Darian Stone fumbled trying to cross the goal line on a third-and-one. TSU answered with a 47-yard touchdown pass from Butler to Ryan Mitchell, and five minutes later took advan-

tage of a Golden Eagle fumble at the Tech one-yard line to set up an easy second score and a 14-7 lead. Jamin Godfrey kicked field goals of 39 yards in the second quarter and 22 yards in the third to make it a 20-7 lead, setting the stage for the bomb to Leonard that made it 27-7. Leonard grabbed a three-yard pass for a 34-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. Backup quarterback Jared Davis ralied Tech with back-to-back touchdown drives, the first culminating in a six-yard pass to Steve Wil-son and the second resulting in a one-yard run by the redshirt freshman signal-caller from Tullahoma to make it 34-21. Expecting TSU to run out the clock with the two touchdown lead, the Golden Eagles were caught by surprise when German heaved a 43-yard touchdown pass to Lavatiae Kelly with 1:10 to play for the final score. Tennessee State finished with 438 yards of offense, despite being held to just 95 rushing yards. Tech had 301 yards of offense, rushing for 136 and passing for 165. Defensively, Tra’Darius Goff paced Tech with 11 tackles while Marty Jones added eight and Jordan Johnson had seven, including two tackles-for-loss.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech head coach Watson Brown said it was resilience that led to the Golden Eagles’ 38-37 win Saturday night over Indi-ana State in Tucker Stadium. That, plus three blocked kicks, three interceptions and a brilliant relief appearance off the bench by redshirt freshman quarterback Jared Davis in the second half. The rookie from Tullahoma, Tenn., directed Tech on an 11-play, 77-yard touchdown drive in the final five minutes of the contest. His two-yard TD pass to senior Zack Ziegler with 1:11 remaining proved the difference in a game that the visitors dominated after halftime. Davis was 11-for-12 for 97 yards passing in the face of incredible pres-sure from the ISU defense. Indiana State erased a 24-12 deficit at the intermission, outscoring the Golden Eagles 22-7 in the third quarter and putting up 18 unanswered points to climb on top, 37-31 early in the fourth quarter. They rode their All-American tailback, Shakir Bell, who rushed for 201 yards and a touchdown and also caught a team-high six passes for 68 yards and another score. Bell also surpassed 4,000 career rushing yards in the con-test. ISU quarterback Mike Perish passed for 288 yards and two touchdowns as the Sycamores rolled up 554 yards of offense. Senior defensive tackle Jordan Johnson blocked two kicks early in the game, one leading to an 87-yard return by James Huguely for a touchdown and a 10-6 Tech lead. Johnson had knocked down a PAT try on Indiana State’s first touchdown of the night that left the visitor’s with a 6-0 lead. Senior Bud Golden bulled into the end zone twice on one-yard touchdown runs, his second putting Tech on top, 24-12, at halftime. Golden

suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury with 11 minutes remaining in the game, and was taken off the field on a stretcher. He was playing in his first game of the year, after working through an eligibility issue. He gained his eligibility just this week and was in the starting lineup. His injury inspired his teammates, according to Ziegler. “That’s probably why we’re all a little sad right now, even though we won the game,” Ziegler said. Davis replaced starting quarterback Darian Stone, who was knocked out of the game in the third quarter on a tackle that jarred his helmet pretty hard. Davis took Tech to a score on his second possession, scoring from five yards out for a 31-19 TTU lead with 8:01 to go in the third. Bell and Perish seemed to take over from there. Bell scored on a six-yard TD run to cap a 69-yard scoring drive, then Perish hit Sam Levingston for a 12-yard touchdown to put the Sycamores up, 32-31. His PAT pass to A.J. Johnson was good for a 34-31 lead. Bell broke off a 69-yard run that looked to send ISU toward another touchdown, but the Golden Eagle defense came up with a huge stop at the Tech six-yard-line, as Lamar Moore and Bill Dillard caught Bell for a four-yard loss. That helped keep ISU out of the end zone, and they settled for a 24-yard field goal for a 37-31 lead. The Sycamores moved from their own 17, following a 54-yard punt by Chad Zinchini, all the way to the Tech 23. From there, Malcolm Mitchell got his hand on a 40-yard field goal try that fell short, and kept the Golden Eagles within six points, setting the stage for Davis’ TD march.

MURRAY, Ky. – Watson Brown’s message to his team was clear and simple. The Golden Eagles will be ready to play in five days against UT Martin in Tucker Stadium. The veteran coach didn’t spend much time dwelling on the 35-24 loss Saturday at Murray State. Every player on the roster knew exactly what had happened, giving opportunity after opportunity to the Racers. In fact, opportunity didn’t just knock, it banged on the door and the host Racers were happy to answer with several big plays on the way to an 11-point Ohio Valley Conference victory in Stewart Stadium. The Racers (4-2/2-0) scored on an 88-yard punt return and a 22-yard fumble return. Tech also gave up touchdown plays of 55- and 56-yards on pass plays underneath in which the Golden Eagles missed a plethora of tackles. Still, against all odds, Tech (3-3/0-2) was still battling in the final min-utes after falling behind 21-0 in the first half. Redshirt freshman quarterback Jared Davis, making his first start in place of injured Darian Stone, was 26-for-42 passing for 207 yards, while sophomore tailback Ladarius Vanlier rushed for 97 yards on 13 carries. Senior Zack Ziegler caught a career-high 12 passes for 85 yards, the second-highest reception total in school history. But Davis was knocked out in the fourth quarter and the Golden Eagles turned to freshman Trent Thompson, who shed his redshirt status for the final two minutes of the game. The Racers jumped on top when Walter Powell returned a punt 88 yards for a touchdown just three minutes into the game. Four minutes later, Duane Brady scored on a four-yard run to cap a short, 57-yard drive for a 14-0 lead. Early in the second quarter, Powell grabbed a pass and eluded tacklers for a 55-yard TD and a 21-0 lead. Davis and the Golden Eagles finally got untracked and managed a 44-yard scoring drive, culminating in a one-yard plunge by Davis to make it 21-7. Tech had the ball to open the second half, looking to close the differ-ence, but a fumble at the Tech 25 bounced directly into the hands of Josh Manning, who took it 22 yards to paydirt for a 28-7 lead.

Again, the Golden Eagle offense showed some fight, moving 61 yards in three plays, with Davis racing in from the eight to make it 28-14. Vanlier’s 48-yard run was the big play in the possession. Powell snared another pass, this one on the sideline in front of the Tech bench. Several Golden Eagles surrounded him, but somehow he popped out of the pile and raced 59 yards for his third TD of the game and a 35-14 lead with 6:16 remaining in the third quarter. Tech scored the final two times in the game, first on a 38-yard field goal by Zach Sharp to make it 35-17, followed by a 38-yard burst down the sidelines by Stephen Bush. That play came on fourth-and-one and capped a 63-yard, seven play drive. The Tech defense did a sensational job in the fourth quarter, limiting Murray State to 62 yards of offense and forcing three consecutive punts. One Tech possession ended when a tipped pass was intercepted. Davis also moved the team all the way from the MSU 15, but he was injured and replaced by Thompson. Seeing his first action of the season, Thompson found a way to get Tech a first-and-goal at the two, but couldn’t punch it in. It was the first time in 20 red zone possessions this year that the Golden Eagles didn’t produce points. The Golden Eagle offense managed 93 plays and 363 yards of total of-fense, with 152 on the ground and 211 through the air. Murray State had 411 yards of offense, with 105 rushing and 306 passing. Tech also had 37 minutes of possession time compared with 23 for the Racers. The Tech defense held MSU to 3-of-15 on third down conversions. Davis finished 26-for-42 for 207 yards while Ziegler had 12 catches for 85 yards. Maleek Hall added five catches for 51 yards. Mikhail Miller was 31-for-42 passing for 306 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He was sacked three times. Powell finished the game with eight receptions for 177 yards and 310 all-purpose yards. Tra’Darius Goff was the tackles leader for Tech with eight, along with causing a fumble. Marty Jones made six tackles and his seventh career intercep-tion. Jimmy Laughlin also made six tackles including a quarterback sack and two tackles-for-loss.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee Tech’s comeback bid fell short for the second straight week as UT Martin defeated the Golden Eagles, 28-17,Thursday night despite a solid second half by TTU defense. The Skyhawks looked to really blow the game open, building a dominat-ing 28-3 first-half lead behind the arm of Jarod Neal and legs of DJ McNeil. Neal wrapped up the first 30 minutes of action going 16-of-20 for 195 yards and a touchdown while McNeil carried the ball 13 times for 86 yards and a score and caught two balls for 23 yards. The Tech defense never gave up, keeping the UT Martin offense off the scoreboard for the contest’s final 30 minutes. The Golden Eagles forced two key turnovers in the second stanza, including a clutch fumble as the Skyhawks were threatening to score in the game’s final seven minutes. Sophomore cornerback Demario Donnell stripped McNeil at the TTU one-yard line and veteran safety Marty Jones recovered the ball in the end zone to force a touchback and give the Golden Eagles the ball with 6:18 to play and down just 11 points. Donnell finished the contest with eight tackles, the forced fumble, and two pass breakups. Jones led the Golden Eagles with 14 tackles.

Tra’Darius Goff made the other key turnover in the half, ripping the ball out of the hands of UTM receiver Corey Jordan and returning it 28 yards to put the Golden Eagles into scoring position at the Skyhawk 36-yard line. Goff fin-ished the night with 11 tackles and both a forced fumble and fumble recovery.

The Tech offense converted on the turnover as redshirt quarterback Jared Davis, who entered the game for an injured Darian Stone, hit Cody Matthews for a 29-yard score to start the Golden Eagles’ comeback bid and make it 28-10 in favor of Martin. Matthews wrapped up the contest with a career-high 130 receiving yards on seven receptions and a touchdown. Davis finished the day 14-of-24 for 139 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Both picks occurred in the final four minutes of the contest as he tried to lead the Golden Eagles downfield. Punter Chad Zinchini played a crucial role in the field position battle in the contest, booting three of his four punts inside the 20-yard line. The senior averaged an incredible 50.2 yards per punt, including a clutch 61-yarder that pinned the Skyhawks at their own one-yard line with 5:25 to play in the game.

RICHMOND, Ky. – The Tennessee Tech defense did what it could Saturday to give the Golden Eagles a chance against Eastern Kentucky. The offense, however, never found consistency and the host Colonels took advantage for an uninspired, 24-10 Ohio Valley Conference victory for EKU’s Home-coming in Kidd Stadium. Through three quarters, the Tech defense limited the league’s best rushing offense to just 118 yards on the ground. Tech’s defense came up with a big fourth down stop late in the third quarter, and moments later got a turnover when Cory McDonald intercepted a pass near midfield. But the Tech offense, already missing key players due to a variety of injuries, lost top receiver Cody Matthews early in the game when he was injured attempting to make a catch. EKU defensive back Brandon Stanley was penalized for targeting, hitting Matthews in the helmet, and was ejected from the game. Backup tailback Maleek Hall, making his first start in place of starter Zack Ziegler, also went out with an injury, as did starting tight end Parker Teeter. Newcomers Joe Vines and Dametris Watson filled in, each making the first receptions of their careers. Their appearances were an indication of how the offensive staff was trying to piece together its lineup. Still, without offensive consistency, the Golden Eagles were within reach into the fourth quarter, trailing 17-3, when EKU surprised Tech with a trick play, throwing a reverse pass into the end zone to make it a 24-3 contest. Redshirt freshman quarterback Jared Davis, chased all afternoon

and forced to throw several times on the run, directed a 10-play, 62-yard touch-down drive to pull Tech with 24-10 with 9:30 remaining. Tech’s defense forced another three-and-out and got the ball back quickly. Davis got the offense moving again, driving into EKU territory, but the Colonels stopped Tech on a fourth-and-one with five minutes to play. EKU scored on the opening drive of the game, a 10-yard run by quarterback Jared McClain that finished off a 10-play, 64-yard drive for an early 7-0 lead. Tech moved into scoring range early in the second quarter and Zach Sharp drilled a 29-yard field goal to make it 7-3. Late in the half, EKU scored twice in 1:27 to take a 17-3 lead into halftime. First, McClain raced around right end on a keeper for an eight-yard TD to end a 78-yard drive. On first down, Davis’ pass was deflected and intercepted, setting up a 26-yard field goal by Andrew Lloyd. Tech finished with 200 yards of offense, mustering just 27 yards on the ground on 22 carries. Davis was 21-for-42 for 173 yards through the air. EKU, which leads the OVC in rushing, was limited to 149 yards on the ground on 50 carries, but added 198 passing yards to finish with 347 in total of-fense. Junior linebacker Tra’Darius Goff topped the tackles charts, making 10 stops including two tackles-for-loss and a quarterback sack. Kevin Robinson-White, mak-ing his first career start, added eight tackles. Marty Jones had seven stops, broke up a pass and recovered a fumble.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Jacksonville State controlled the tempo of the game and tarnished Tennessee Tech’s homecoming game Saturday in Tucker Sta-dium as the Gamecocks used a balanced attack to forge a 34-14 Ohio Valley Conference victory in front of 8,953 spirited fans. JSU (6-2/2-2 OVC) brought its conference record back to the .500 mark with the victory, using a two-week break from action to prepare for the meeting with the Golden Eagles. Once again Tech (3-6/0-5 OVC) got a solid defensive effort, but the offense couldn’t sustain any drives and also hurt itself with numerous penal-ties in a contest that featured 22 penalties for 182 yards. Jacksonville State had 450 yards of offense, running off 84 plays from scrimmage. The Gamecocks, who rank second in the OVC in rushing, passing and total offense, had 251 yards through the air and 199 on the ground. Tech mustered 99 passing yards and rushed for 181 yards for 280 total yards. DaMarcus James rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries to pace JSU, and also completed a pass for 36 yards to account for 162 yards of total offense. Starting quarterback Eli Jenkins was 7-for-11 passing for 77 yards and rushed seven times for 37 yards, including a touchdown. Kyle West, the projected starter, came off the bench to pass for 138 yards and two touch-downs, going 11-for-17.

Receivers Anthony Johnson and Josh Barge each hauled in five passes to lead JSU, which had nine different receivers catch balls.

Golden Eagle quarterback Darian Stone was the team’s leading rusher, finishing with 79 yards on 20 carries. He was sacked four times for 30 yards, pre-venting him from chalking up a 100-yard game despite his 109 yards gained. The junior passed for 99 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown to Krys Cates. Sophomore Ladarius Vanlier added 62 yards on nine carries and freshman Isaiah McKinney had 24 yards on four carries in Tech’s late scoring drive. The game features the league’s top two punters, and both had strong out-ings. Tech’s Chad Zinchini kicked eight times and averaged 46.1 yards per kick with a long of 58 yards. Hamish MacInness kicked five times and averaged 49.2 yards, aided by a school-record 86-yard kick that sailed with the gusting wind. The Tech defense, which held JSU to 140 yards in the second half, was led by Tra’Darius Goff with a career-best 16 tackles. Marty Jones, the league’s lead-ing tackler, and Bill Dillard had 10 tackles apiece. Jones’ numbers included 2.5 tackles-for-loss. Brandon Bender was the top tackles for Jacksonville State with eight stops. Rashod Byers had six tackles and broke up three passes, while Ketrick Wolfe added five stops and an interception, the only turnover in the contest.

CHARLESTON, Ill.. – Tennessee Tech faced the best team in the Ohio Valley Confer-ence and second-ranked in the nation Saturday. The Eastern Illinois Panthers, in fact, could be one of the best teams ever in the OVC. Eastern Illinois (8-1/5-0 OVC), directed by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, rolled up 552 yards of offense and also scored twice on long punt returns in hand-ing the visiting Golden Eagles a 56-21 loss on O’Brien Field. Garoppolo was 33-for-50 for 399 yards and four touchdowns. Erik Lora caught 12 passes for 119 yards and three of the scores, while Keiondre Gober had five catches for 129 yards and the other score. The Golden Eagles (3-7/0-5 OVC) answered with 281 yards of total offense, including 183 passing yards and three touchdowns by redshirt freshman quarter-

back Jared Davis, who came off the bench in relief of starter Darian Stone. Krys Cates had three catches for 32 yards including a 15-yard TD, while Eric Belew grabbed two passes for 72 yards, both resulting in touchdowns. Malcolm Mitchell led the Golden Eagle defense with nine tackles, while Jay Rudwall added eight stops. Sophomore Patrick Prewitt got the ball twice on turnovers, first on an interception that led to Tech’s first TD, followed by a fumble recovery that set up Tech’s second score. Shepherd Little had a 75-yard punt return in the first quarter that made it 21-0, and in the third quarter, Lora broke loose for an 80-yard punt return to make it 49-7.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Junior quarterback Darian Stone put together one of the finest games of his career to pace the Tennessee Tech of-fense, and the defense came up with three turnovers as the Golden Eagles rolled to a 41-16 Ohio Valley Conference victory Saturday after-noon at Southeast Missouri. With the win, Tennessee Tech (4-7/1-6 OVC) handed head coach Watson Brown a record victory, the 126th of his career. It tied Watson and younger brother, Mack (head coach at Texas) for the record for most Division I head coaching victories by brothers. The pair ties the mark of 362 held by Vince and Bill Dooley. Mack’s Longhorns play at West Virginia later Saturday afternoon with the chance to break the record. Southeast Missouri (2-8/1-5 OVC ) lost on Senior Day in the team’s final home contest of the year. Stone, who has been in-and-out of the lineup all season because of a variety of injuries, rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries, and also completed 13 of 22 passes for 135 yards to account for 297 yards of total offense. Junior Stephen Bush complimented Stone in the ground game, scoring two touchdowns and rushing for a career-best 76 yards on 13 carries. The Tech defense had numerous standout performances, including a 38-yard interception return by sophomore linebacker Jay Rudwall that led to an early Tech touchdown as the Golden Eagles established dominance in the first half.

Junior Marty Jones grabbed his second interception of the year and eighth of his career, and also caused a fumble and made five tackles. Freshman Jordan Patrick led Tech with six tackles, including a quarterback sack and 1.5 tackles-for-loss. Senior Tra’Darius Goff also made six tackles, had a tackle-for-loss and broke up the pass that Jones intercepted. Special teams also contributed to the win. Chris Harris, filling in for injured starter Zach Sharp, scored 11 points in the game including the first two field goals of his career and all five PAT kicks. He booted field goals from 26 and 32 yards, both in the fourth quarter. Tevin McDermott blocked a field goal try on the first play of the second quarter when Tech’s lead was still only 7-0. The Golden Eagles used that play to propel them to two touchdowns in a 49-second span and build a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter. Stone directed the team to a 7-for-15 mark on third down con-versions. Tech was also 2-for-2 on fourth down tries, and was a perfect 7-for-7 on scoring chances inside the red zone. Jordan Smith also had a solid game, leading Tech’s receivers with a career-high six catches for 68 yards. SEMO was led by DeMichael Jackson with 104 rushing yards on 17carries, while quarterback Scott Lathrop added 44 yards on 11 tries. Lathrop and backup quarterback Kyle Snyder were 10-for-21 passing for 89 yards. Paul McRoberts had six catches for 66 yards including a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- A punishing ground game and a swarming defense were keys to Tennessee Tech devouring Austin Peay, 34-0, Saturday afternoon in Tucker Stadium to send the 12 Golden Eagle seniors out on a winning note in the season finale. Tech (5-7/2-6 OVC) closed out the 2013 season with back-to-back wins, while the Governors (0-12/0-8 OVC) wrapped up a winless campaign. Junior quarterback Darian Stone rushed for 153 yards to top a ground attack that piled up 284 yards and all five Golden Eagle touchdowns. Cody Forbes added 64 yards while Stephen Bush finished with 59 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. In addition to 118 passing yards on Stone’s 9-for-15 effort, the Golden Eagles managed 402 yards of offense. Tech put together three six-minute scoring drives. The Golden Eagles scored on all four of their possessions in the second half except for a kneel-down on the final play. The Tech defense, meanwhile, limited Austin Peay to 86 total yards includ-ing just 72 through the air. The “D” had 11 tackles-for-loss, led by senior Malcolm Mitchell with three including his team-best ninth quarterback sack of the year. Tra’Darius Goff had two TFL and five tackles, finishing the year with 101 total tackles to rank first in the OVC. Marty Jones was one of three Golden Eagles with a team-high seven tackles, and finished with 98 tackles for second in the league.

As convincing as the final score appears, it wasn’t decided until the second half after the Golden Eagles took a slim, 7-0 lead into halftime. That came on a six-minute, 80-yard drive on Tech’s first possession of the contest and ended with a one-yard push by Bush. Tech took control in the third quarter with a couple of touchdowns. Stone led the Golden Eagles on the opening possession of the second half on a 61-yard, five-play drive that was capped when Bush split the line and raced untouched 42 yards for a 14-0 lead. APSU marched 45 yards on 11 plays into Tech territory, before Jones and Jimmy Laughlin stopped the Governor receiver short on fourth down play. From there, Tech went 66 yards in 14 plays, with Bush pounding it in from the one for a 20-0 lead. The drive chewed up 6:19 off the clock. Early in the fourth, a 45-yard screen pass to Forbes set up Tech’s next score, a nine-yard run by Stone for a 27-0 lead. It was the final pass of the day for the Golden Eagles. The final possession featured 11 consecutive running plays, including eight by Forbes, as Tech moved 71 yards in 11 plays on a six-and-a-half minute touchdown drive for the 34-0 lead. Stone had a 31-yard carry in the effort, while Forbes crossed the goal line from the two.

policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Ham-ilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contribu-tions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsman-ship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Found-ing Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Val-ley Conference has grown significantly from its humble begin-nings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University,

Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Ed-wardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The playing field is not the only place where OVC ath-letes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are com-mended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 229 student-athletes honored with the award, including 50 over the last five years. Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which devel-oped. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a

Now in its 67th 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 May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stabil-ity over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 14 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commission-er in league history on July 28. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. Discussions were put on hold by World War II but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville merged to form the OVC. Tennessee Tech joined the OVC the following year. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially, breaking racial barriers to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 66 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns. Former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with 10. The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In the 1970s, women’s athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established wom-en’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW),

Robert Hill Johnson Award Winners Senior quarterback Jordan Johnson was named the recipient of the 2013 Robert Hill Johnson Award, becoming the first defensive line-man to receive the award since Branon Vaughn in 1999. Robert Hill Johnson, a native of Sparta, Tenn., was a student and assistant football coach at Ten-nessee Polytechnic Institute when he was killed in an auto accident on January 14, 1952, at the age of 22. The son of Mr. and Mrs. A.E. Johnson, he at-tended White County High School and was a stand-out in football for one year. He then transferred to The Baylor School in Chattanooga where he earned three football letters. He enrolled at the University of Alabama, but a shoulder injury ended his playing career. In the fall of 1951 Johnson became a student at TPI, where he also coached offensive and defensive ends. After just one season at TPI, Johnson was killed instantly when his car crashed into a concrete bridge railing at Cripple Creek, about seven miles east of Murfreesboro, on U.S. Highway 70. The Jan. 25, 1952, edition of the Tennessee Tech Oracle said Johnson “exemplified all that is fine and good in the great game of football,” and urged that the university do something to honor his memory. Since then, Tech’s highest football honor has been called the Robert Hill Johnson Award. It is presented annually to the player who makes the largest contribution to Tech during the season and is selected by members of the football team. The first winner, based on his play during the 1951 season under Coach Johnson, was end Flavious Smith, now in the Golden Eagle Sports Hall of Fame.

Larry SchreiberRunningback Larry Schreiber was an Associated Press all-America selection in 1969, three-times named all-OVC, and was selected the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year as a senior. He won Tech's prestigious Robert Hill Johnson Award three times and is still the all-time leader in total offense and rushing in Golden Eagle history.

He's a member of the Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame.

Jim YoungbloodLinebacker Jim Youngblood was a two-time all-America, two-time all-OVC selec-tion, and was twice named the league's Player of the Year on defense. He holds the Tech record for career tackles and was the Robert Hill Johnson Award winner in 1972. Jim played 12 years in the NFL with the L.A. Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins. He is a member of the Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame.

Jim Youngblood, who earned numerous honors while playing linebacker at Tennessee Tech, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1996. Youngblood, along with nine other players and four coaches, was part of the inaugural Divisional Hall of Fame Class, which included players and coaches from NCAA IAA, II, and III divisions and the NAIA. Twice named the Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Youngblood was named to eight different all-America teams during his career at Tennessee Tech, including six following his senior season. He earned the Robert Hill Johnson Award in 1972 and is one of only three Tech players to have his number retired. He still ranks as Tech's all-time leader in tackles.

students braved a driving night rainstorm to pilfer a huge block-tin eagle statue from the charred ruins of a resort hotel in Monteagle. They painted the creature - with a wingspan of over six feet - a glistening gold, and suspended it from the rafter for public inspection at the following day's basket-ball game in Memorial Gym. Then-Governor Frank G. Clement, a lifelong friend of the hotel owner, was in Cookeville to speak . He worked out a compromise between his friend and the school students, who wanted to retain the eagle as their mascot.

Over the years, a wide variety of art-work and drawings have been used to represent the Ten-nessee Tech Golden

Eagles. Some of those include a drawing which appeared in media guides in the mid 1970s, and a cartoon-style mascots in the early 1980s that was dubbed ‘the purple chicken” by Tech students.

Newsweek names TTU among most affordable universities in the nation

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS For nearly 100 years, Tennessee Tech has served the various needs of the region, the state and beyond. Not only is Tech renowned as a fine institution of higher education, it also serves as a public resource center and encourages scholarly research and creative activity by its faculty and students. Today, Tech makes a number of contributions to economic devel-opment locally, regionally and nationally. Tech’s 65,000-plus alumni occupy positions of leadership in educa-tion, business, industry, government and public service. Tennessee Tech is widely known as an institution noted for its academic quality -- an institution where the energies of the faculty, staff and students are devoted to ensuring that the university’s quality is maintained and enhanced. The university is divided into seven academic divisions offering 44 programs of study leading to the bachelor’s degree and 20 pro-grams of study at the graduate level. More than 75 percent of the 370 full-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees. Considered one of the most picturesque campuses in the South -- and one of the safest -- the buildings carry an attractive Georgian style of architecture that lends the Tech campus an Ivy-league character. Tech was established in 1915 as Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, located on the site of its forerunner, Dixie College. TPI gained univer-sity status in 1965, reflecting the institution’s role as a multipurpose, state-supported university. Tech’s current enrollment continues to

include students from almost all 95 Tennessee counties, along with students from more than 40 other states and about 40 foreign countries.

CAMPUS LIFE Tennessee Tech students know that there is a lot more to college life than what goes on in the classroom. Nearly 200 student organizations on campus offer activities ranging from academic, athletic, cultural, political, community-oriented, social to spiritual. At Tech, it’s easy to get involved and make friends. Campus recreation coordinates 11 intramural and club sports: basketball, bowling, flag football, golf, racquetball, rugby, soc-cer, softball, tennis, volleyball and wrestling. The Fitness Center is a free, full-service health club for students. It houses a fully equipped weight room, 25-meter indoor pool, cardiovascular equipment and an indoor track. Tech is also a center for the arts, presenting concerts, theatre productions, lectures, dance per-formances, films, workshops, demonstrations and art exhibits each year. And, of course there’s always an athletics event to attend. Tennessee Tech’s athletic teams compete in the Ohio Valley Conference for 14 sports on the NCAA Division I level, and students can attend all regular season athletic events absolutely free!

The Tennessee Tech Athletic Department unveiled a new brand on Aug. 31, 2006, with an all-new set of logos for the Golden Eagles. The brand is new, but the tradition remains -- the name Golden Eagles. How did TTU adopt the name? In the first quarter of this century, Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was a tiny school, located in the rugged, mountainous Upper Cumberland region where Golden Eagles were plentiful, soar-ing above the lush, upland forests. It's easy to understand how those early students and faculty could narrow their choices for their athletic team's nicknames to "Golden Eagles" or "Mountaineers." On February 14, 1925, the nickname "Golden Eagles " was officially adopted. The school news-paper, The Oracle, printed a story that outlined the efforts of a committee to suggest several possible nicknames to Athletic Association members for their consideration. The two most popular names were "Golden Eagles" and "Mountaineers," and the association, by a vote of 139-18, proudly declared its preference. It wasn't until 27 years later that a tangible mascot found its way to the campus. Several Tech

State University in 1986. Oldham served as head of Missis-sippi State University’s chemistry department for five years prior to becoming MSU’s College of Arts and Sciences dean in 2001. During his five years as provost at UTC, enrollment grew 28 percent to more than 11,400 students. He led ef-forts to improve student retention and graduation rates resulting in a 15 percent increase in freshmen retention in just three years. Under his leadership, UTC established the Center for Advisement and Student Success, created the Math Plaza and initiated UTeaChattanooga to educate future teachers. He oversaw the addition of doctoral programs in advanced nursing practice and occupational therapy as well as the redesign of summer school. Under his guidance, the university raised significant private support, received board approval to create the University Honors College and launched a creative new “Degree in 3” program designed to accelerate degree completion at reduced student costs.

Oldham has served on statewide task forces to devel-op the new higher education funding formula for Tennessee and to create universal transfer pathways to provide seam-less student transfers across all Tennessee public colleges and universities. Along with his administrative accomplishments, Oldham has authored more than 35 peer-reviewed research articles in analytical chemistry, along with two patents and approximately 100 conference presentations. His research has been financially supported by the National Science Foundation, American Chemical Society, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Geological Survey and private industry. He has served on a number of scholarly editorial boards and as a peer reviewer for both the NSF and National Institutes of Health. Oldham and his wife, Kari, are proud of their family, which includes three sons (Clay, Paden and Sam), a daughter (Audrey) and a daughter-in-law (Rebecca).

ship two years in a row. Wilson, 45, has served as chair of the OVC Board of Director of Athletics and represented the OVC on the NCAA Lead-ership Council. Wilson currently serves on the FCS ADA Executive Committee and the NCAA Division I Football Cham-pionship Committee and Football Issues Committee. Wilson’s first ten years as Director of Athletics at TTU have showcased his vi-sion, energy, and enthusiasm for provid-ing outstanding experiences for Tech’s student-athletes and fans. In addition to major improvements in Tennessee Tech’s athletics facilities, high graduation and APR rates by Golden Eagle student-ath-letes, and outstanding academic success, Wilson has also cultivated excellent rela-tionships with the campus, community and alumni. In short, Wilson has facilitated growth and excellence in all areas of TTU Athletics. Following an appointment on the NCAA Leadership Council, Wilson is currently serving a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Champion-ship Committee and Division I Football Issues Committee, and has been active in the Ohio Valley Conference governance structure. Wilson also developed a strategic plan for Tech’s athletic facilities and has already seen some of those plans become reality. During the past six years Tech has completed several construction and renovation projects to athletic facili-

Mark WILSON v Director of Athletics

University of Maine 1991

Tennessee Tech’s Mark Wilson was named in 2013 as one of four winners of the Athletic Director of the Year Award for the Football Championship Subdi-vision, an honor that is selected and presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Upon his arrival at Tennessee Tech in 2004, Wilson embarked on an ambi-tious enhancement program to improve every facet of intercollegiate athletics at Tennessee Tech, including academic performance. In the Spring of 2014, for the 11th consecutive semester Tech’s student-athletes teamed up to top 3.0 for their combined grade point average (GPA). Golden Eagle student-athletes from 14 teams combined to post a 3.293 GPA for

the 2014 Spring semester, the highest semester in school history. Private fundraising has enhanced facilities for TTU student-athletes, high-lighted by the construction of a 25,000 square-foot Athletic Performance Center and state-of-the-art basketball offices. He initiated a new branding and standard graphic identity program for regional and national recognition of TTU athletics and under his leadership, TTU’s teams have been highly active supporting community outreach programs such as Habitat for Humanity and Mustard Seed Ranch (a local home for disadvantaged youth). Wilson’s hiring decisions have also paid off. Twenty-two Ohio Valley Confer-ence (OVC) regular season and tourna-ment championships have been won,

along with the 2012 OVC Sportsmanship Award. The 2011 football team under Watson Brown won its first conference championship since 1975. Sytia Messer’s (TTU’s first female African-American head coach) and Jim Davis’ women’s basketball teams have won two OVC championships in the last three seasons. The tennis team, under the direction of two-time OVC Coach of the Year Kenny Doyle, went unbeaten in OVC play while winning the regular season champion-



ties, including a spectacular, new Athletic Performance Center on the western edge of campus, a spacious, new basketball office complex in Eblen Center, a new natural grass practice field, installation of new turf in Tucker Stadium, renovating the running track, renovating the foot-ball offices, meeting rooms and locker rooms, and new lights at Tucker Stadium. Additional building plans call for a new student-athlete center and an on-campus tennis center. Another step achieved under Wil-son’s direction has been increased fund raising and development efforts with the goal of providing the necessary facilities and resources for Tech’s student-athletes, coaches and staff. All of those accomplishments have come while the department has contin-ued to stay focused on compliance with all NCAA rules and regulations. The most recent NCAA announcements show that all 14 of Tech’s athletic programs are comfortably above the benchmark for compliance in the Athletic Progress Rate (APR). Just as important are the relation-ships that Wilson has developed and nur-tured, including the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, the stu-dent body, the campus community and the region at-large. His leadership has been instrumental in the overwhelming success in the community’s host role at Tucker Stadium for the annual Blue Cross Bowl for the TSSAA high school state championship football games Tech has also seen growth in re-gional and national media exposure for its student-athletes and coaches while his hands-on approach to marketing and branding Golden Eagle Athletics has earned increased opportunities and involvement for fans and sponsors. Some of the ideas he has implemented include the Purple Pride Caravans, a new athlet-ics logo and branding marks that have gained nationwide recognition, and an updated and modern ticketing system.

Under Wilson’s direction, Tech has introduced an enhanced digital video presence for athletics, includ-ing free live web streaming produc-tions and a variety of additional video programs, interviews and features that give fans, alumni and supporters greater access to Golden Eagle teams, student-athletes, coaches and staff. This year, Tech will debut a beautiful, large new video board in Eblen Center. Wilson was named Director of Athletics on July 1, 2004. He came to Tennessee Tech from a position of Associate Athletic Director at Ohio University. Prior to that, he served as the Director of Athletic Marketing for the University of Massachusetts, worked as a graduate assistant in the UMass ath-letic department and interned with the Northwestern University ticketing and marketing departments.

Wilson received his bachelor’s de-gree in 1991 from the University of Maine in physical education and health, and earned his master’s in sports manage-ment from the University of Massachu-setts in 1994. Mark has two daughters, Katey (19) and Meaghan (14).

Dr. Lance JASITT v Assistant Athletics Director for Academics and Student Welfare

Penn State University,1978

Dr. Lance Jasitt serves as Assis-tant Athletics Director for Aca-demics and Student Welfare.

Dr. Jasitt plays a key role in the academic success of each of

Tech’s varsity student-athletes, managers, and graduate assistants. His primary goals are to provide guidance and academic resources to permit student-athletes to maintain their academic eligibility under NCAA rules and to help them progress to graduation. In this process, Dr. Jasitt serves as a primary liaison between coaches and faculty. A detail-oriented person and a diligent worker, Dr. Jasitt has developed a solid understanding of the opera-tions of the Athletics Department, the staff and the needs of its student-athletes. In addition to his academics/student welfare roles within Athletics, he has served in compliance and admin-istrative operations roles in the Tech Athletics Department since 1998.

Dr. Jasitt is also highly involved in promoting reading and literacy at all age levels. He was the 2008-09 president of the TTU Council of the International Reading Association and is actively involved in that organization. He also has served on the President’s Commission on the Status of Women for seven years. Raised in York, Pa., he earned a bachelor’s de-gree from Penn State in 1978 and added a master’s in public administration from Valdosta State in 1987. In 1993, he received a master’s degree in education from Old Dominion University and added a Ph.D. in literacy education from Tennessee Tech in 2004. Dr. Jasitt is a former Commander in the U.S. Navy. His wife of 30 years, Donna White Jasitt, is a former Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve. They have two children, Ian and Meagan. Ian recently received his second degree from Tech, this one in Environmen-tal Geology. Meagan is a senior Pre-Physical Therapy major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

The success of Tennessee Tech University’s athletic teams is tied closely to the academic progress of each student-athlete, and the academic performance of each Tech student-athlete is closely monitored by the coaching staff as well as an experienced staff in Academic Services, led by Dr. Lance Jasitt. Student-athletes are the most visible component of a university, entertaining thousands of fans, students, alumni, family and friends. Their athletic abilities and achievements are a focus for national attention, as athletic events not only bring back faithful alumni, but serve as a welcome mat to the university for potential new students. Student-athletes devote many hours to practice, conditioning and training in an effort to be the best they can be. These hours are not re-quired by non-athletes in the student body, and these extra demands can compete with academics for the student-athlete’s time and energy. The Tech Athletics Department works to provide help with course content (through tutors and monitored study hours) as well as with time management and study skills and any other academic support services that will allow Tech student-athletes to maximize their academic potential.

The “WIN” program: Work Intensely Now

The WIN Program was implemented in the fall semester of 2004 to provide additional support for freshmen and student-athletes whose general aca-

demic progress places them at risk for maintaining eligibility and graduating. The program involves the student-athlete, coach(es), academic advisor,

tutors, and others to build academic skills for success. Participation in the program is primarily based on grades, and coaches or the academic advisor

may recommend additional participation at any time. All incoming fresh-men meet at least one time per week with their coach to discuss academic

progress and needs as well as time management and study skill techniques. Other aspects of the program include monitored study hours, tutoring, and

study skills workshops.
