McNeese iN the PostseasoN

With 15 appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs (FCS), McNeese State more than doubles the appearances of any other Southland Conference school. The Cowboys have posted an 11-15 record in the FCS playoffs, including two national championship appearances (1997 and 2002) and another semifinal spot (1995). McNeese has also appeared in three Independence Bowl games, including a 20-16 victory over Tulsa in the inaugural bowl game on Dec. 13, 1976. It was the first time McNeese appeared in a Division I postseason game. Other appearances were a 31-7 loss to Art Monk’s Syracuse team in the 1979 bowl and a 16-14 setback to Southern Mississippi in 1980. In 1991, McNeese State made its first of five straight appearances in the FCS playoffs, falling to No. 1 ranked Nevada 22-16. The Cowboys won their first playoff game the next year in a 23-20 win over Idaho but fell 29-7 to Northern Iowa in the quarterfinals. In 1995, McNeese capped off a perfect 11-0 regular season with a trip to its first-ever semifinals, but Marshall freshman quarterback Chad Pennington led his Thundering Herd to a 25-13 win. In 1997, McNeese slugged its way in dramatic fashion into its first FCS title game appearance, only to see it fall 10-9 to Youngstown, and in 2002, returned to the championship in a 34-14 loss to Western Kentucky, a team it had beaten convincingly earlier in the season, 38-13.

Running back Olen Clark became McNeese football’s first ever Academic All-America in 1959. Since then, 23 football student athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-America or National Athletic Directors All-America teams. There have been 15 CoSIDA academic awards handed out to Cowboy football players as three players - Hadley Prince, Wes Hines and Jim Downing earned the honor in back-to-back seasons. Brant Linde was the last Cowboy to received CoSIDA honors in 2007. Both Prince and Hines were 3-time recipients of the National Athletics Directors Academic All-America team, Prince garnering the honors in 2000, 2001 and 2002 while Hines picked up the award in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Ben Bourgeois received the honor in 2010 and 2011 and this past fall, Arinze Agada was named to the ADA All-America Team. For the 2014-15 season, McNeese was awarded the Southland Conference APR Award for having the highest multi-year score among the SLC schools. The Cow-boy football program was recognized at NACDA for obtaining the highest multi-year APR in the league. It was the only sport recognized by NACDA for the award.

athletic Facilities

The Jack Doland athletic field house completed its remodeling and newly constructed areas and opened during the summer of 2011. This is a two story $8 million facility with new locker rooms, weight rooms, meeting rooms and offices as well as seated area for football games. The building encompasses 32,000 square feet.

One of the many attractive additions to the new Jack Doland Field House is the club room and the more than 140 seats located just outside the club in the north endzone. At the entrance is the Coach Gerald Conner Hall of Champions where all of McNeese’s championship trophies are displayed.

New locker room and equipment room are just a couple of the many improvements made with the renovations of the new field house.



McNeese State’s Dowell “Doc” Fontenot Sports Medicine Center is an ultra-modern facility and one of the finest in the South. It is named after longtime McNeese athletic trainer Dowell Fontenot (pictured left) who was also a national champion boxer during his under-graduate days at the university and who is a member of the McNeese Hall of Fame.

The center is located just south of the Mc-Neese athletic fieldhouse. Funds for the 6,200 square foot medical center were ob-tained from the state, from private donations and from the McNeese PetroChem Athletic Association.

The Charles Kuehn Weight Room at the Jack Doland Field House was outfitted by Life Fitness Company and Hammer Strength Company who made the 8,000 square foot room a showcase weight facility. Weights are painted in platinum and blue and there are 16 Mondo enlayed platforms for heavy weight work, one of only eight schools in the nation to have this.

The weight room also includes: 16 multi-purpose racks, 80,000 pounds of weights (McNeese logo on the weights), nine 52-inch flat screen television sets, mirrors all the way around, two treadmills, two elliptical machines, a stationary bike and a $12,000 surround sound system donated by Scott Bailey and Bailey Audio. A 12-foot McNeese logo sets off the room from the cen-ter floor. The facility is named in honor of McNeese State’s first football all-American who is pictured above.

Last year marked the 50th anniversary of Cowboy Stadium, one of the most feared places to play for opponents. Dubbed “The Hole” for its unique design and layout, the stadium was con-structed in 1965 and renovated and expanded to a 17,410 seating capacity in 1975. Added in 1998 was a $3 million, three tier press box. In 2005, a new scoreboard and sound system ($1.1 million renovation) debuted. And in 2008, a GEOMAX2 artificial turf was put in and seating increased to 17,610 with the completion of the new athletic field house that features 200 box seats that overlook the north endzone. The Cowboys also have a practice area (A.I. Ratcliff Field) that includes three football fields on the east side of the stadium. Throughout its 50-year history, Cowboy Stadium has hosted standout play-ers such as Roger Staubach (Pensacola Navy, 1968), Terry Bradshaw (Louisiana Tech, 1967 and 1969), Jackie Smith (Northwestern State, 1960), Chad Penning-ton (Marshall, 1995), Daunte Culpepper (Central Florida, 1995), Mike Tomlin (William & Mary, 1993), just to name a few. McNeese has racked up 192 wins at home in the history of Cowboy Stadium and has posted at .688 (192-87-5) home field winning percentage. The Cowboys have had nine unbeaten seasons at home with three of those coming since the year 2000 (2-0 in 2005, 8-0 in 2002 and 5-0 in 2000). Since 2000, McNeese is 66-21 (.759) in Cowboy Stadium.

McNeese State debuted its new GeoMax2 infilled “replicated grass” playing field in 2008. The project was financed by longtime university supporter Robert Noland and at his request the field was named the Louis Bonnette Field in honor of the school’s longtime sports information director. GSE GeoSport Surfaces, which is the largest geo-synthetics manufacturer in the world and the inventors of all rubber infill “repli-cated grass” installed the turf. McNeese booster clubs - the Cowboy Club, the Quarterback Club and the Petrochem Athletic Association - provided additional funding for the project. Bonnette retired from McNeese State in June of 2012 after serving 46 years as the school’s first and only Sports Information Director. A native of Pineville and graduate of Louisiana Tech, Bonnette has received numerous professional honors in his career. Twice he served as president of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association and the LSWA presented him with its highest honor, the Mac Russo Award. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in the sports journalism division and in 2009; he was inducted into the College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame; is a member of the McNeese State Athletic Hall of Fame and the South-land Conference Hall of Honor. Bonnette worked his 500th consecutive football game on October 24, 2009 and holds the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Di-rectors of America) record for most consecutive football games worked, a number that stands at 526 and is expected to continue.

JOLIE BLONDE: This is a popular Cajun waltz often referred to as the “Cajun National Anthem.” The song was made famous by Harry Choates in the late 1940s. The McNeese Band began playing the song in 1951 under Band Director Eddie See. In 1970, “Jo-lie Blonde” became the official school song.

ROWDY: In 1982, “Rowdy” was born. Rowdy was named after Clint East-wood’s character on the “Rawhide” television show. According to legend, Rowdy was on a cattle drive out west when he stopped in Lake Charles and decided to stay.

TAILGATING: McNeese is well known for its strong contingent of tailgaters. Fans start filling lots Fridays before gamedays and begin their cooking of various cajun meals. On gameday, lots around Cowboy stadium are filled with hundreds of RVs and thousands of tailgaters.

MYSTERY RIDER: McNeese is well known for its strong gameday traditions. Since 2007, a growing tradition was started after the “Horse and Rider” statue was put on the corner of Ryan and Sale street on the McNeese cam-pus. The “Horse and Rider” statue comes to life every Saturday. After the statue comes to life, the horse by the name of Moondancer and the Mystery Rider march down Common Street to Cowboy Stadium. During pre-game, Moon-dancer and the Mystery Rider take the field and scan the crowd intently. It is at that time that the Mystery Rider is making it know that he is watching you, making sure you are a Cowboy fan, and making sure that you are there sup-porting your Cowboy football team. After the Mystery Rider makes an impression in Cowboy Stadium, he then leaves the field to go round up the remaining people in the area who are not at the game.

BLUE WALL: Established in the 1978 season, the “Blue Wall” was named for the McNeese defensive unit that allowed just 9.8 points per game - sixth in the nation, and 15th in total de-fense, giving up 259.5 yards per contest. That defensive until included players such as John Miller, Billy Joe Davenport, Bryan Hicks, Tom Murphy, Tim Tregle and Tim Harris. In 1979, the Blue Wall was anchored by the four down linemen - Rusty Guilbeau, Clay Carroll, Leroy Gedward and Mark Helms. COWBELLS: Saturday night in Cowboy Sta-dium isn’t complete without the clanging of the hundreds of cowbells being used by fans. The cowbells have been an important part of the gameday experience for decades.

BRINGING THE WOOD: “Bringing the Wood” is a football saying that stands for big hits and big plays. This can be done throughout prac-tices and most importantly during games. The Cowboys started the tradition of bringing out an actual piece of wood to honor a player that demonstrates the act on that particular week. Prior to the game, Head Strength Coach Zeb Hawkins picks an individual to lead the team out the tunnel. The wood is a physical reminder that one must always be ready to play and al-ways give 100% effort on each and every play.

TOUCHDOWN CANNON: Touchdown Can-non has been a staple for the McNeese foot-ball tradition for many years. It started when the ROTC was located on campus many years ago. After the ROTC left, the Contraband Buccan-neers continued the tradition with their own per-sonal cannon. After a brief hiatus, the cannon returned to action for the 2013 season.

2015 oFFeNse Preview

QUARTERBACK McNeese returns everyone behind center for the exception of Will Briscoe who has opted not to suit up for the Cowboys this season in his final year but will help out as a student assistant. Leading the way will be senior Daniel Sams whose dual threat capabilities will keep the op-posing offenses on their toes. Sams led the team with 711 yards rushing and threw for 624 yards. His three 100-yard rushing games is the second most in a career by a McNeese QB while those three are the most by a QB in a single season. He’s been named to the watch list as the CFPA Outstanding Performer of the Year. Backing up Sams will be sophomore slinger Grant Ashcraft whose 6-foot-6 frame will help him find his targets. Senior Tyler Bolfing returns to the QB position after moving to tight end during the spring. Bolfing led the team with 990 yards passing last year when splitting time with Sams. Also at QB will be sophomore Joe Lissard and transfer Shane McCarley who comes from Blinn JC after a brief stint with Old Dominion out of high school. TIGHT END Junior Zach Hetrick returns as the starter. The 6-3, 250-pounder caught 12 passes for the Cowboys last season for 175 and a touchdown. Backing him up is sophomore DeonDre Skinner who appeared in eight games and made one catch. R.J. Walters and Jalen Bowers are expected to see significant playing time.

RUNNING BACKS The Cowboys are loaded in the offensive backfield. So much so, se-nior Kelvin Bennett has been moved to cornerback to utilize his speed at that position. Sams led the team in rushing but sophomore Ryan Ross was the top RB as a true freshman with 599 yards and seven TDs scored. And he did that in just nine games played. Seniors Dylan Long (346 yards, 10 TDs) and Derrick Milton (387 yards, 6 TDs) follow Ross on the depth chart while surprise redshirt freshman RB Benjamin Jones will be looking to turn some heads. Jones was the star of the spring game when he ran for 110 yards and a TD. The Cowboys received a transfer from UTEP, David Hamm, who was the Miners’ spring game MVP this past April, and Ross’s younger brother, Lawayne, who stands 6-foot and weighs 250 pounds, is expected to have a bright future for the Pokes.

WIDE RECEIVER McNeese lost its top two receivers from last year’s squad to gradu-ation but will get the services back of Kent Shelby who has recovered nicely after tearing his ACL against Arkansas Tech last year and is listed as the starter at the X wide out spot. He’ll be backed up by redshirt fresh-man Kylon Highshaw (6-4, 208) Senior David Bush who caught 18 passes for 195 yards and three scores last season as a starter, heads the F WR position and is backed up by junior Khalil Thomas who also made 18 grabs for 271 yards and five TDs. At the Z spot is RS freshman Tavarious Battiste followed by junior Damon Gladney (4 rec., 58 yds in 2014). Transfer Nesley Ovincy (6-1, 189) from Sierra JC will add to the Cow-boys’ talented group of receivers. OFFENSIVE LINE It’s always tough to replace an All-American, and that’s what the Cow-boys will have to do this year with the loss of Antione Everett. But Mc-Neese will have the luxury of returning four starters on the line and a fifth that saw action in every game last season. Anchoring the line will be seniors Quentin Marsh (left tackle), Nick Gorman (right guard), and Ben Jones (right tackle). Among those three, they played more than 95-percent of the snaps on the season and allowed just 2 1/2 sacks on the season. Junior Mason Martin returns as the team’s center while junior Thor Miller will be in his first season as a full-time starter at the left guard slot. The Cowboys have an abundance of talent behind the starters, includ-ing RS freshman Kyle Zenon (6-4, 280) who was a bronze medalist in the javelin event at the 2015 Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Transfer Matt Wilson (6-6, 279) comes from Texas Tech and will add depth at the RT position.

SECONDARY Preseason All-American Brent Spikes returns as one of the main com-ponents to the D.W.A. (Defense With Attitude) success. Spikes led the team in tackles (83) and interceptions (4) last season. He tied a school record with 3 picks in a game at Incarnate Word and returned those INTs for 148 yards while setting a new school, conference, and state record. Senior Wallace Scott, who enters the year as a preseason first team all-SLC selection at linebacker, will move to his original spot at free safety, a position he held early in his college career until an injury forced him to move to linebacker. Scott earned all-conference honors last year after he finished with 42 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks, and 7 1/2 tackles for a loss. Senior Gabe Hamner (29 tackles, 2 INT, 1.5 TFL) and sophomore Jermaine Antoine (28 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack) will take care of the corner positions while Kelvin Bennett moves over from the running back position to add speed to the spot. Sophomore Dominique Hill is back as the starter at the Buck Safety spot, a position that earned him all-SLC honorable mention honors last season as a true freshman. Hill had a spectacular 2014 that saw him re-cord 34 tackles, 7 1/2 tackles for a loss, one sack, and two interceptions. DEFENSIVE LINE This is the area that took the hardest hit to graduation last following last season as the Cowboys lost three starters - all-conference tackles Kevin Dorn, tackle Sean Brown, and end Everett Ellefsen. Ellefsen is con-tinuing his career in the Canadien Football League where he was a draft pick by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The lone returning starter is senior Brian Hine who earned all-confer-ence honorable mention honors last season after he posted 39 tackles and tied for the team lead with 9 1/2 tackles for a loss. He also recorded four sacks to rank second on the team. But despite losing three starters, the Cowboys picked up some big power from sophomore transfer Isaiah Golden from Texas A&M. Golden (6-2, 335), who missed the 2014 season, played in all 11 games and started six for the Aggies as a true freshman in 2013 and recorded 30 tackles along with six tackles for a loss. Next to Golden at the other tackle position will be sophomore Anthony

Yruegas (6-2, 288) and junior Antonio McGhee (6-0, 285). The defensive end slots are stacked with some talented youngsters in sophomore Jam-merio Gross (6-3, 240) who saw action in five games last year as a fresh-man, and sophomore Kurt Viges (6-3, 232), who also played as a fresh-man. Cameron Smith is the lone senior on the front unit and is expected to provide leadership and talent to the group. LINEBACKERS Senior all-conference selection Bo Brown returns for his fourth season as a starter but will be pushed by some extremely talented sophomore in Ashari Goins and Christian Jacobs. Brown collected 43 tackles with five TFLs last year in starting all 11 games. Goins had a stellar true freshman season that saw him post 25 tackles, two sacks and 4 1/2 tackles for a loss in 11 games played while Jacobs, who appeared in 10 games, recorded 20 tackles and had 1 1/2 tackles for a loss. He also intercepted one pass on the season. The emergence of sophomore Ed Duplessis in the spring allowed the coaching staff to move Scott from linebacker to free safety. Duplessis has missed the last two seasons due to back-to-back achilles tendon injuries. After sticking to his demanding rehab stints, he is ready to suit up for the first time as a Cowboy.

coachiNg staFF

One of the most successful coaches in the NCAA’s FCS division, McNeese’s Matt Viator has guided the Cowboys to winning seasons in all eight of his years at the helm and is one of three head coaches in school history to never post a losing season, joining Les DeVall (1957-65) and Ernie Duplechin (1979-81).

He’s the only coach Southland Conference history to have a winning season each year in his career with a minimum of nine seasons under his belt. In his nine seasons, Viator has compiled a 68-32 record for a winning percentage of .680, passing legendary head coach Jack Doland last season as the No. 2 winningest coach in school history. He needs 10 wins to tie leader Bobby Keasler (78 wins). He’s recorded a league mark of 45-18 (.714), has won three conference championships and made four FCS playoff appearances, including a second round showing in 2013. That 2013 season saw the Cowboys post its second 10-win regular season under Viator, eighth in school history, when they finished 10-3, including a 6-1 mark in the conference. And for the second consecutive year, McNeese defeated a FBS opponent when it clobbered South Florida 53-21. It was the first-ever win for McNeese over a BCS conference opponent. That win set a NCAA record as well as the 53 points scored by the Cowboys were the most ever scored by a FCS squad over a BCS team while the 32-point margin of victory was also an NCAA record. As a result of the team’s success, Viator was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award as the FCS National Coach of the Year. It was the third time in his career to be named a finalist (2006, 2007). The 2014 Cowboys appeared to be well on their way to another playoff appearance and possible championship as they cruised to a 6-2 record through the first eight games. One of those losses came at the hands of Nebraska where the Cowboys nearly pulled off one of the greatest upsets in college football history before Husker All-American running back Ameer Abdullah choreographed one of the greatest plays on the season in leading Nebraska to a last-minute, 31-24 win over the Pokes. McNeese’s efforts drew a standing ovation from the 70-plus thousand of the Big Red Nation in attendance as the team walked off the field. Injuries then struck the Cowboys as they went on to lose their final three games of the season. It was the first three-game skid since 2011. The Cowboy coach, a graduate of McNeese, had served as an assistant coach on the staff for eight years before stepping into the top job four games deep into the 2006 season. Taking over a squad that had won but one of its first four games he led the team to a 6-2 record the rest of the way that year, won the SLC title and put his team into the NCAA championship playoffs. That was the start of one of the most electrify-ing coaching rises in conference history as the very next year his team posted only the fourth undefeat-ed, untied regular season record in the university’s history, won the league title for a second year and participated in the NCAA FCS championship for a second straight year. Since then his team also won the 2009 title and finished second in the league standings in 2008, 2010 and 2013.

Viator has earned numerous coaching honors including two SLC coach of the year awards and a Louisiana collegiate coach of the year honor in addition to being a finalist for the national award. He claimed his first collegiate coaching victory in his very first game as head coach when the Cowboys posted a 30-27 win over Southern Utah in 2006. His 50th win came in exciting fashion as the Cowboys defeated conference foe Ste-phen F. Austin 35-24 on Homecoming night on Oct. 27, 2012. Viator is the 14th head coach in McNeese history. His 6-2 rookie record included a 5-1 mark in league play as the team won its fi-nal five league games of the year. His teams have been ranked in the top 25 national polls in six of the last eight seasons and climbed to as high as No. 4 for a couple weeks late in 2013. Prior to his becoming head coach, Via-tor had served the university as offensive coordinator and is regarded as one of the top Division I offensive minds. The Cowboys have ranked among the national leaders in offense for nine of the past 13 years and the university has also produced the Southland Conference’s top offensive performer four of the last nine seasons. His offenses have led the league in scor-ing five times and last year, set school re-cords for total points scored in a season (520) and ended the regular season ranked No. 4 in the nation (1st in the Southland Conference) with a 42.5 points scored per game average. The Cowboys also set a school record by scoring 50 or more points in five games on the season. In 2009, Viator coached the nation’s leading scorer in tailback Toddrick Pend-land, and three years ago, had the No. 2 punt returner in the country in Darius Carey. Before he joined McNeese, Viator was one of the top prep coaches in Louisiana, producing an 81-37 won-lost record, win-ning one state crown and five league titles. He joined McNeese in 1999 as linebacker coach and was made offensive coordinator in 2000, the Cowboys leading the league in both scoring offense and total offense that year. He is married and wife Schantel, is a school teacher. His father is the late Nolan Viator, a former Cowboy coach, player (QB, MVP) and is a member of the McNeese Hall of Fame.

LanceguidryMcNeese, 1995Assistant Head CoachDefensive Coordinator (DB)9th year, 3rd since 2013

coachiNg staFF

Lance Guidry brought back the D.W.A. (Defense With Attitude) when he was named defensive coordinator in the spring of 2013. A native of Welsh, Guidry is also the assistant head coach and coaches the de-fensive backs. This is the fourth stint for Guidry, a 1995 McNeese graduate, on the Cowboys staff. He served as a graduate assistant in 1994 then returned as the school’s defensive coordinator from 2000-04, and in 2008, coached the defensive backs. In his nine combined years previously on the McNeese coaching staff, the Cowboys have compiled a 76-34 record, including a 41-16 mark in Southland Conference games. McNeese won three conference championships during that span, made six FCS playoff appearances, and played in the 2002 FCS National Championship game. “I was real excited when Matt (Viator) called to talk about me coming back,” said Guidry on his return to McNeese. “My loyalty is to Coach Viator and to McNeese. It’s like when momma calls you to come back home, you go.” His 2014 defense led the conference in rushing defense (112.5 ypg), ranked second in in total defense (330.2 ypg) and scoring defense (22.7 ppg), and was first in opponent first downs (16.3 p/g). Nine players on the unit earned all-conference honors, including two - Aaron Sam and Kevin Dorn - who notched first team honors, while those two were joined by Everett Ellefsen in garnering all-Louisiana accolades. In 2013, Guidry led a defensive unit that saw six players earn all-conference honors and two more named to the all-Louisiana team. The DWA ranked third in the league with 13 pass interceptions and was second with three of those picks returned for touchdowns. The unitl also posted 21 take-aways on the year. Guidry served as defensive coordinator at Western Kentucky in 2011 and 2012 and was named interim head coach on December 8 of 2012 to lead WKU against Central Michigan in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit, Mich., on December 26, a game the Hilltoppers dropped 24-21. He coached three players while at WKU - DE Quanterous Smith, LB Andrew Jackson and S Jonathan Dowling - that went on to be selected in the NFL Draft. Guidry has experience in the role as a head coach, as the former assistant coach at Miami (Ohio) led the Redhawks to a 35-21 victory over Middle Tennessee as the interim head coach in the 2011 GoDaddy.com Bowl, helping Miami finish off a 10-4 season after going 1-11 the previous year. Miami became the first FBS school to go from double-digit losses to double-digit wins in consecutive seasons. Guidry helped orchestrate a similar turnaround since arriving on the Hill in 2011, helping WKU to back-to-back winning seasons in 2011 and 2012, including the program’s first-ever bowl bid since joining the FBS. His 2012 Hilltopper defense was a force nationally, ranking in the top 40 in seven different national defensive categories. The Guidry-led defense ranked 23rd na-tionally in total defense (344.42) and 12th in the nation in tackles for loss per game (7.42). His squad also ranked at the top of four defensive categories in the Sun Belt Conference, including total defense, pass defense efficiency (128.4), sacks (31) and first down defense (19.3), while ranking second in rushing defense (136.6), scoring defense (25.6), passing defense (206.2) and interceptions (13). Under Gudiry’s guidance, WKU senior defensive end Quanterus Smith put together a record-breaking 2012 season, accumulating 12.5 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss on his way to being named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Smith’s sack total in 2012 was just one away from setting a single-season Sun Belt Conference record, and his 24.0 career sacks tied the conference record. In two years under Guidry, Smith racked up 20 of his 24 career sacks. Guidry’s defense has shown up in big games, including games against the nation’s elite. In a week two matchup against defending nation champion Alabama, the WKU defense held the Crimson Tide to just 103 yards rushing, which was the team’s lowest output of the 2012 season. The 103 rushing yards were more than 120 yards less than the team’s season average, as Alabama went on to finish the season averaging over 224 yards per game on the ground en route to a BCS National Championship. The Crimson Tide averaged just over three yards per carry against WKU in that game. A 1995 graduate of McNeese, Guidry joined the Miami staff after serving as the defensive secondary coach at McNeese State in 2008. A veteran coach in Louisiana football’s high school ranks, Guidry served as secondary coach at Leesville High School in 1995 and 1996, helping lead the Wampus Cats to the state championship game in 1995. He also coached defensive backs at Carencro (La.) High School for three seasons (1997-99), then returned years later to serve as the Golden Bears’ head coach (2005-07). In between his stints at Carencro, Guidry served as defensive coordinator and coached the secondary at McNeese State (2000-04). The Cowboys reached the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in four consecutive seasons (2000-03), won three straight Southland Conference championships (2001, 2002, 2003) during that stretch, and lost to WKU in the 2002 FCS National Championship Game. During those years, he helped produce such all-Americans as Joe Judge, Keith Smith and Hadley Prince. Guidry was also a team captain, four-year letterman (1990-93) and all-conference defensive back at McNeese State and was a part of two conference championship teams (1991, 1993). He and his wife, Starlet, have four children: Janzen, Madison, Alexis and Kaitlyn, and one grandson, Ethan.

southlaND coNFereNce Now in its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the aca-demic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member uni-versities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist Uni-versity, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State Uni-versity, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-

Corpus Christi. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Or-leans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), tele-vision personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Lin-klater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamil-ton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports in-clude baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first six years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams ad-vancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2013, three Southland teams – Southeastern Louisiana, McNeese State and Sam Houston State – all qualified for the NCAA Division I Football Championship, and in 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston advanced to the national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 109 Division I playoff games in 32 years, winning 53 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous member-ship and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1964, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I and I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests. McNeese State, which has made 15 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appear-ances, including 2009 and 2010.

Game 1 • Nebraska 31, McNeese 24Sept. 6 at Memorial Stadium • Lincoln, Neb. (91,082)McNeese 7 7 0 10 - 24Nebraska 14 7 3 7 - 31

LINCOLN, Neb. - Nebraska All-American running back and likely Heisman Trophy candidate Ameer Abdullah turned a 3-yard pass completion into a remarkable, 58-yard touchdown score with 20 seconds to play as the Huskers, ranked 18th in the nation, held off McNeese by a score of 31-24. Abdullah, who entered the game with 18 straight 100-yard rushing contests, was held in check on the ground as he gained just 54 yards on 17 carries, but it was his highlight reel 58-yarder that’ll be the only thing the Nebraska faithful will be talking about. McNeese scored first on a Derrick Milton 9-yard run in its opening offensive possession after the Cowboys stumped the Huskers on a fourth-and-1 on the first possession of the game. Nebraska fired back with a 40-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Armstrong, Jr. to Jordan Westerkamp to tie the game at 7-7 with 6:44 to play in the first quarter. The Huskers took the lead at 14-7 after Abdullah scored on a 2-yard run with three minutes to play in the opening period. The Huskers were on their way to upping the lead to 14 points when McNeese free safety Aaron Sam stepped in front of an Armstrong pass at the Cowboys’ 2-yard line and returned it 98 yards for the score and to tie the game at 14-all with 10:08 to play in the half. That returned tied the McNeese school record as the longest in history and was the second longest interception return for a touchdown against the Huskers in their school history. Nebraska took a 21-14 lead into the half after Armstrong dove in from 1-yard out on a fourth-and-1 play. The Huskers racked up 297 offensive yards in the first half but were held in check in the second as the Cowboys’ defense dominated. After Drew Brown hit a 31-yard field goal to make it 24-14 with 3:31 to play in the third quarter, McNeese put together back-to-back scoring drives of 80 or more yards to tied the game at 24-24 with 4:21 to play. The Cowboys appeared to have taken the lead after Milton ran it in for the score a few plays prior to the game-tying 24-yard field goal by Alex Kjellsten, but the score would be called back after an illegal formation penalty was called.

LAKE CHARLES - A week off didn’t seem to affect the McNeese Cowboys and its return to the gridiron as the fourth-ranked Pokes thrashed Arkansas Tech 61-7 behind a strong balanced offensive attack and a dominating defense. McNeese held the Wonder Boys to 93 total offensive yards for the game and didn’t allow the visitors to get inside Cowboys’ territory until a Derrick Milton fumble at his team’s own 36-yard line on the first play of the third quarter. In fact, Arkansas Tech never made it to its own 30-yard line in eight first half possessions. For the game, McNeese’s defense forced ATU into nine three-and-outs, 11 punts, a fumble and an interception. And for the first time in school history, the Cowboys scored a defensive touchdown for the third consecutive game when freshman linebacker grabbed a fumble out of the air and strolled in from 17-yards out to put McNeese up 21-0 with 14:06 to play in the second quarter. Goins wasn’t the only true freshman to put his stamp on the game. Ryan Ross led the Cowboys with 66 yards on 17 carries and scored three touchdowns on the game. Ross was slated to redshirt for the season but had it pulled earlier in the week after learning Nate Holmes will miss a significant amount of time after getting injured against Prairie View two weeks ago. The Cowboys entered the game ranked No. 1 in the Southland Conference and seventh in the FCS in rushing yards per game with a 278.5 aver-age. They didn’t reach that mark on Saturday night but still rolled up 228 yards and scored five rushing touchdowns. Kelvin Bennett added 65 yards on 10 carries. He had 68 yards rushing in the first half while his only carry in the second half brought the total down three yards.

McNeese held the Wonder Boys to 93 total offensive yards for the game and didn’t allow the visitors to get inside Cowboys’ territory until a Derrick Milton fumble at his team’s own 36-yard line on the first play of the third quarter. In fact, Arkansas Tech never made it to its own 30-yard line in eight first half possessions. For the game, McNeese’s defense forced ATU into nine three-and-outs, 11 punts, a fumble and an interception. And for the first time in school history, the Cowboys scored a defensive touchdown for the third consecutive game when freshman linebacker grabbed a fumble out of the air and strolled in from 17-yards out to put McNeese up 21-0 with 14:06 to play in the second quarter. Goins wasn’t the only true freshman to put his stamp on the game. Ryan Ross led the Cowboys with 66 yards on 17 carries and scored three touchdowns on the game. Ross was slated to redshirt for the season but had it pulled earlier in the week after learning Nate Holmes will miss a significant amount of time after getting injured against Prairie View two weeks ago. The Cowboys entered the game ranked No. 1 in the Southland Conference and seventh in the FCS in rushing yards per game with a 278.5 aver-age. They didn’t reach that mark on Saturday night but still rolled up 228 yards and scored five rushing touchdowns. Kelvin Bennett added 65 yards on 10 carries. He had 68 yards rushing in the first half while his only carry in the second half brought the total down three yards.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Daniel Sams rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown but that would be just about all the offense the McNeese State Cowboys could feel good about as the fifth-ranked Cowboys fell 38-22 to Sam Houston State in Southland Conference action here Saturday afternoon. The Bearkats used their own quarterback, Jared Johnson, in the same capacity as Sams as he ran for a school-record in rushing yards by a quarterback with 190 yards on 11 carries and two scores. His 73-yard run following Sams’ score put the Bearkats up 21-7 with 2:14 to play in the half. It came on the first play of a series after Jean Breaux connected on a 42-yard punt against the wind to pin the Bearkats back to their own 27-yard line. McNeese (3-2, 1-1), who recorded just 133 offensive yards in the first half, had a chance to get things going with the ball first in the second half but was stuffed for three consecutive three-and-outs while the Beatkats (3-3, 2-0) tacked on two more touchdowns – a 22-yard pass from Johnson to Yedidiah Louis and a 67-yard run by Johnson to make it 35-21. The Cowboys managed just two first downs in the third quarter with one of those coming on the second-to-last play of the period on a Kelvin Bennett 17-yard run. That rush eventually led to a 7-yard Ryan Ross score to cut the gap to 35-14 with 13:12 to play. The Cowboys were held to 298 offensive yards – nearly 175 under their average, and 209 yards rushing – 70 under average. The Bearkats rolled up 294 yards on the ground and 486 total offensive yards. Derrick Milton added 57 yards rushing for the Cowboys and Ross ran for 26 yards on five carries and a score. Sams completed 11 of 25 passes for 84 yards and a score while Tyler Bolfing completed 2 of 6 for five yards. In addition to Johnson’s 190 yards rushing, he also completed 15 of 29 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns.

LAKE CHARLES - Daniel Sams became the first quarterback in McNeese history to not only rush for his third 100-yard game of the season, but also in his third straight game as his 112 yards on the ground helped lead the No. 11/10 Cowboys to a 31-20 win over Abilene Christian on homecoming night in Cowboy Stadium. The win moved the Cowboys to 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in Southland Conference play while ACU fell to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in the league. McNeese’s No. 1 rushing offense in the Southland had its way with Abilene Christian’s defense – ranked atop the league against the run coming into the game – as the Cowboys racked up 304 yards on the ground. In addition to Sams’ rushing yardage, Derrick Milton clipped the 100-yard mark for the second time this season with 107 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown. Ryan Ross ran for 74 yards and Kelvin Bennett 24 yards in limited action. Sams also completed 10 of 16 passes for 184 yards with a season-high three touchdown passes as he combined with Tyler Bolfing to throw for 203 for the game. For the night, the Cowboys rolled up 507 offensive yards marking the third time this season McNeese has gained 500 or more yards in a game. The one glaring negative in the game for the Cowboys were six turnovers – two interceptions and four fumbles. That’s the most since turning it over six times against Texas State in 2006. ACU, playing in its first year back in the Southland Conference after leaving following the 1972 season, came into the game with the league’s top-ranked passing offensive unit with an average of 311.1 yards per game and quarterback Parker McKenzie being the SLC’s top passer with 293.4 ypg. McNeese’s defense held the Wildcat offense in check for much of the game and stifled them to 141 passing yards and 255 total offensive yards – both season lows.

Game 7 • #10/9 McNeese 41, Incarnate Word 21Oct. 25 at Benson Stadium • San Antonio, Texas (4,558)McNeese 7 21 6 7 - 41Incarnate Word 0 0 14 7 - 21

SAN ANTONIO – Brent Spikes had a record-breaking game on Saturday night in McNeese’s 41-21 Southland Conference win over Incarnate Word when he picked off three passes for a total of 148 interception return yards to help keep the 10th-ranked Cowboys in the hunt for the league championship while picking up their first road win of the season. McNeese improved to 5-2 overall but most importantly, 3-1 in league play. And with the loss by Southeastern Louisiana earlier in the day to Stephen F. Austin, McNeese is now in a five-way tie for first place in the loss department. Although the game was well in hand, Spikes’ third interception of the game put the final nail in the coffin when he returned it 45 yards for a touchdown to give McNeese a 41-14 lead with 7:17 to play in the game. Spikes set a new McNeese and Southland Conference single game record with 148 interception return yards and tied a school record with his three picks. Spikes’ three picks was just half of the turnovers the Cowboys forced onto Incarnate Word (1-7, 1-4) as interceptions by Shea Nutt and David Bush on a crazy punt play, in addition to a fumble recovery by Cameron Smith, totaled McNeese’s takeaways to six for the game. It was the most interceptions thrown by a UIW team in school history. Offensively, the game wasn’t as expected as the Cowboys were held to a season-low 273 offensive yards which included a season-low 175 yards rushing and 98 yards passing. Daniels Sams completed 4 of 10 passes for 97 yards and ran the ball nine times for 35 yards, his lowest total of the season. It snaps a three-game streak of 100-yard rushing games. Dylan Long, who also had a career night with three touchdowns scored, ran for 60 yards on the night while Ryan Ross led the team with 64 yards and a score.

NATCHITOCHES – McNeese built a 35-3 halftime lead only to see Northwestern State rally back with 25 unanswered late in the fourth quarter but the defense, that suffocated the Demons for much of the game, put together a four-down stop on the final drive of the game to secure the 8th-ranked Cowboys with a 35-28 Southland Conference win here Saturday night. The win moved the Cowboys to 6-2 on the season and 4-1 in league play where they remain in a first place tie with Sam Houston State and Southeastern Louisiana. Northwestern State fell to 4-5 and 2-3 in the league and lost to McNeese for the 10th consecutive time. McNeese finished the game with 366 yards of offense but was held to just 88 in the second half, the same amount NSU totaled in the first half. McNeese rolled up 242 yards rushing for the game behind 93 yards from Ryan Ross and 88 from Dylan Long, who also scored three touchdowns for the second straight game. Tyler Bolfing, who got his first start since the season opener at Nebraska, completed 7 of 12 passes for 103 yards while Daniel Sams went 2 for 5 for 21 yards. Neither quarterback threw any interceptions. The Cowboys got limited action from Kelvin Bennett who carried the ball five times for 17 yards in his first action in a couple games as he’s recovering from an injury. McNeese also played without running back Derrick Milton and wide receiver Ernest Celestie. Despite the injuries, the Cowboys put together perhaps its best first 30 minutes of play on the season as they put 35 points on the board and held NSU to 88 yards of offense, nine rushing yards, and three first downs. The Cowboys finished the night with six sacks, two of those by Kevin Dorn, and seven tackles for a loss. Brent Spikes led the team with 10 tackles and Aaron Sam intercepted the team’s only pass.

LAKE CHARLES – McNeese suffered more than its first home loss of the season while hitting a huge road block in winning its first Southland Conference championship since 2009 when the Cowboys fell 31-16 to Stephen F. Austin on Saturday. McNeese also lost the services of quarterback Daniel Sams for the season when he injured his thumb in the first half of the game. The loss of Sams changed the gameplan for the Cowboys as they were forced into more of a throwing game than the running threat they have been all season. McNeese (6-3, 4-2 SLC) trailed just 14-9 at the half behind a running attack that rolled up 132 yards and 60 passing, managed just nine yards on the ground in the second half, and for the first time this season, the Cowboys did not rush for a touchdown. Meanwhile SFA (7-3, 4-2) kept its slim title hopes alive by using a stout passing game instead of a strong running attack behind conference rushing leader Gus Johnson. Quarterback Zach Conque completed 21 of 23 passes on the night for 201 yards and three touchdowns while Johnson was held to his lowest rushing total of the season with 32 yards on 22 carries for a 1.5 per carry average. McNeese outgained SFA on offense 339 to 286 but with 141 yards rushing, was held to 114 below its season average. Ryan Ross led the team in that department for the third straight game as he ended the night with 61 yards on eight carries. Despite missing the second half, Sams had 48 yards on five carries. Bolfing completed 21 of 40 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown. Long was his favorite target with a team-high seven catches for 58 yards while McGilvery pulled in three passes for 32 yards and a score.

HAMMOND – A reversal of misfortune for the 11th-ranked McNeese Cowboys late in the third quarter here Saturday afternoon proved to be the most crucial moment of the game as the Cowboys dropped a 28-9 game to No. 10 Southeastern Louisiana to eliminate the Cowboys from Southland Conference title contention. Following an 8-play, 68-yard drive at the end of the first half that took 1:31 off the clock and ended with a 34-yard Jean Breaux field goal to cut SLU’s lead to 14-9 at the break, the Cowboys came out of the locker room with renewed energy and held the Lions (8-3, 6-1 SLC) off the scoreboard for the better part of two quarters. Facing a 2nd-and-10 at its own 11-yard line, SLU’s Brian Bennett connected with Dylan Bossier for a 30-yard gain. McNeese’s Brent Spikes got the tackle of Bossier and lost the ball when he hit the ground. Wallace Scott scooped up the ball and returned it down to the 2-yard line where it would set the Cowboys up perfectly to take the lead. After a lengthy replay review, the call was overturned and ruled Bossier was down when the ball popped loose. Replay revealed the officials made the correct call. Two series later, the Lions went up 21-9 then closed things out with a 55-yard pass from Bennett to Devante Scott to make it 28-9. McNeese (6-4) dropped its second consecutive game on the year, the first time that has happened since the 2012 season, and lost for the third straight year to the Lions. The Cowboys finished with 311 offensive yards while SLU put up 324. The Cowboys were held to their lowest rushing total of the season with 95 yards on 31 attempts. Dylan Long led the way with 54 yards while Ryan Ross added 45 yards. Kelvin Bennett did not play in the game and Derrick Milton had just three carries for four yards. And Daniel Sams, who injured his throwing thumb last week, carried the ball just twice for zero yards. The passing game was a tad bit better as Tyler Bolfing and Will Briscoe combined to complete 17 of 42 passes for 216 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Briscoe played most of the fourth quarter when Bolfing went out with an injury he suffered after being sacked with just over 10 minutes to play. SLU totaled 131 rushing and 193 passing yards for the game. Bennett completed 10 of 18 passes for 185 yards and four touchdowns and led the team in rushing with 41 yards on nine carries.

Game 11 • Lamar 27, #17/17 McNeese 24Nov. 8 at Cowboy Stadium • Lake Charles, La. (7,402)Lamar 14 3 7 3 - 27McNeese 7 3 0 14 0 24

LAKE CHARLES - A game-changing replay reversal with less than four minutes to play turned what would’ve been a 31-24 lead for the McNeese Cowboys into a 27-24 win for the Lamar Cardinals after Lamar kicker Juan Carranco connected on a 23 yard field goal as time expired to give his team its first win over McNeese in Cowboy Stadium since 1982. Trailing 24-10 entering the fourth quarter, McNeese (6-5, 4-4 SLC) scored on a 5-yard pass from Will Briscoe to David Bush to cut the gap to 24-17 with 12:36 to play, then tied the game after Dominique Hill’s second pass interception of the contest set up a 10-yard Briscoe pass to Ernest Celestie. Hill seemed to have given the Cowboys the lead with 3:32 to play when he picked up a fumble after what appeared to be a Lamar completion on a 3rd-and-3 and returned it 28 yards for an apparent score. After a replay review of several minutes, the play was ruled an incompletion. During the return, McNeese was penalized 30 yards for two unsportsmanlike penalties that occurred during and after Hill’s return. Those penalties were upheld despite the play being ruled an incomplete pass and Lamar was rewarded the ball with a first down at the McNeese 42 yard line. The Cardinals (8-4, 5-3) converted on a 4th-and-3 at the McNeese 35 to keep their game-winning drive alive and drove the ball to the Cowboys’ 6 where Carranco connected on the game-winner as time ran out. Lamar outgained the Cowboys on offense 480 to 346 with 327 of those yards coming through the air as quarterback Caleb Berry, the league’s No. 1 passer, connected on 27 of 53 for 327 yards and two touchdowns but also threw two interceptions. Berry also ran for 91 yards on 14 carries with the bulk of those coming in passing situations where the McNeese defensive backfield had the coverage and Berry was forced to run. Will Briscoe and Tyler Bolfing combined to complete 19 of 38 passes for 181 yards while Bush attempted a pass on a wide receiver pass play that was knocked down. Briscoe, who played all but the first three series of the game, completed 15 of 27 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns. Neither quarterback turned the ball over. Jereon McGilvery caught a career-high six passes for 45 yards while Khalil Thomas hauled in four passes for 52 yards and a score. Ernest Celestie added a touchdown grab and caught three passes for 18 yards. Celestie ended his career with 99 receptions and is ranked 11th on the McNeese all-time career receptions list. The running game finished with 165 yards on 30 carries as Ryan Ross led the way with 76 yards followed by Dylan Long with 52 yards.
