Greetings Jackrabbit Fans!

On behalf of the SDSU College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences, it's my pleasure to welcome you to the 15th Annual Cereal Bowl. We use this opportunity to celebrate the tremendous contributions of South Dakota’s crop producers. This year, our celebration is combined with the dedication of the Seed Technology Laboratory at the Innovation Campus.

This facility was made possible because of the generosity of: the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council; the South Dakota Soybean Research and Promotion Council; the South Dakota Wheat Commission; the South Dakota Crop Improvement Association; South Dakota Foundation Seed Stock; South Dakota Oilseeds Council; Hansmeier & Son, Inc., of Bristol; Legend Seeds of De Smet; Millborn Seeds, Inc., of Brookings, and Glacial Farms/Moeckly Seed; Dennis L. Anderson Family; Ortwin Buss; Frank A. DeCocco; and Nelson Brothers Farm.

In addition, the state of South Dakota invested funds in support of the Governor’s 2010 Research Center for Drought Tolerance Biotechnology.

The Seed Technology Laboratory is a 30,000-square-foot building that will house the South Dakota Crop Improvement Association, Seed Testing Laboratory, Seed Certification Service, Crop Quality Laboratory and molecular biology/genomics and biocontainment laboratories. It also contains labs that will be available to industry partners. This new facility will allow SDSU scientists to excel in seed and crop sciences, technology and biotechnology. Ultimately, it will open new doors for crop producers, and further strengthen our economy.

The Seed Tech Lab is one more example of the strong partnership between crop producers and South Dakota State University. We are grateful for their vision.

Go Jacks!

2010 Jackrabbit Football

TONIGHT’S GAME

The South Dakota State University football team kicks off the Missouri Valley Football Conference portion of its 2010 schedule tonight as it hosts Illinois State in the 15th Annual Cereal Bowl at CoughlinAlumni Stadium.

Tonight’s matchup features the teams picked to finish second (SDSU) and third (Illinois State) in the MVFC preseason poll. Both teams lost non-conference matchups last weekend; SDSU fell 26-3 at Delaware in its season opener, while Illinois State dropped a 37-3 decision at Big Ten Conference foe Northwestern (Ill.) to even its record at 1-1 this season.

THE SERIES: The Jackrabbits lead the all-time series with Illinois State, 2-0, a rivalry that began when SDSU joined the Missouri Valley Football Conference at the start of the 2008 season.

SDSU won the initial meeting in the series, 52-21, behind a recordsetting day by quarterback Ryan Berry on Nov. 8, 2008, at a blustery Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. Berry threw for a school- and MVFC-record seven touchdowns, including five in the first half. Glen Fox caught three touchdown passes and Colin Cochart added a pair of receiving touchdowns.

The Jackrabbits led 24-0 after one quarter and 38-14 at halftime.

Berry, who also set the SDSU career record for career touchdown passes in the game, finished the day 17-of-29 passing for 237 yards.

Kyle Minett added 161 yards on the ground on 25 carries.

SDSU moved to 2-0 against the Redbirds with a 38-17 victory on Sept. 26, 2009, in Normal, Ill. Minett, who earned MVFC Player of the Week honors, led a balanced Jackrabbit offensive attack with 146 yards on 21 carries. Quarterback Ryan Crawford completed 17-of-28 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns.

Illinois State led 10-7 before the Jackrabbits reeled off 31 consecutive points, book-ended by a pair of Minett touchdown runs. His 64-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter sealed the victory.

CEREAL BOWL HISTORY: Tonight’s game marks the 15th Cereal Bowl game to be played at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. Starting with a 28-17 victory over the University of South Dakota in the inaugural Cereal Bowl game in 1996, the Jackrabbits have compiled an 11-3 record in the game showcasing South Dakota State University’s ties to agriculture.

Following are the scores from the previous 14 Cereal Bowl games: 1996: South Dakota W, 28-17 1997: North Dakota State W, 34-27 1998: South Dakota W, 24-10 1999: North Dakota State L, 7-28 2000: Wayne State (Neb.) W, 65-3

PRESEASON ALL-AMERICANS: Three seniors on the South Dakota State University football team have been named to preseason All-America teams.

Center Ryan McKnight was named to the first team of preseason AllAmerica squads selected by The Sports Network and College Sporting News. The 6-foot-1, 295-pound senior from Sioux Falls, was a first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection in 2009 after starting all 12 games for the Jackrabbits’ playoff-qualifying squad.

Linebacker Derek Domino earned second-team recognition on the CSN squad. A native of Spring Lake Park, Minn., Domino also earned first-team all-MVFC recognition in 2009 after leading the squad with 100 tackles and sharing the team lead with five interceptions. Domino returned two of his interceptions for touchdowns.

Running back Kyle Minett was tabbed as a third-team selection by both The Sports Network and College Sporting News. In 2009, Minett was named to the Associated Press All-America Third Team.

NEXT WEEK: The Jackrabbits will return to the road next week, traveling to Nebraska for their lone matchup of the season against a Football Bowl Subdivision team.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. The game will be televised on a pay-per-view basis. Check GoJacks.com for full details.

HEAD COACH JOHN STIEGELMEIER

J

ohn Stiegelmeier has built the South Dakota State University football team into a consistent winner and a program on the rise in the ranks of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision.

Overall, Coach Stig has led the Jackrabbits to an 83-61 record (.576 winning percentage). SDSU has posted eight consecutive winning seasons, including the school’s first six campaigns at the FCS (formerly Division IAA) level. The Jackrabbits have had a winning record in 11 of Stiegelmeier’s 13 years as head coach, including six with seven or more wins.

The 2009 season proved to be a memorable one as Stiegelmeier led the Jackrabbits to their first FCS playoff appearance and the program’s first postseason appearance in 30 years. The Jackrabbits finished as runner-up in the Missouri Valley Football Conference with a 7-1 record and finished the season 8-4 overall. Nationally ranked for the entire season, including appearing in the top 10 for two weeks, the Jacks finished the 2009 campaign ranked 11th in both the FCS Coaches' and Sports Network media polls.

In 2008, the Jackrabbits entered another new era in their Division I pursuits as they joined the nine-team Missouri Valley Football Conference. With the transition from Division II completed, SDSU fell just short of a playoff berth in its first season of eligibility, ending the year with a 7-5 overall record and 6-2 mark in the MVFC. Of SDSU’s five losses, four came against ranked FCS opponents, including conference co-champions Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois. The team’s other loss was at the hands of Football Bowl Subdivision opponent Iowa State in the season opener.

The Jackrabbits cracked the FCS national polls for the first time in late October 2006, after posting back-to-back come-from-behind victories over Cal Poly and UC Davis. After climbing as high as No. 19 on the final week of the regular season, the Jackrabbits finished the 2006 season ranked 22nd by the Sports Network.

SDSU began the 2007 season in a preseason national poll for the first time, checking in at No. 20 in the Sports Network poll. The Jackrabbits dropped out of the rankings after a season-opening loss and didn’t return to the top 25 until the final poll of the season with a 19th-place showing.

The Jackrabbits continued their ascension at the FCS level during the 2008 season, reaching the 12th spot in the Sports Network poll after opening league play with home victories over No. 14 Youngstown State and No. 15 Western Illinois in back-to-back weeks. In all, SDSU was ranked seven weeks.

During the 2007 season, SDSU claimed its first conference title since 1963 by winning the Great West Football Conference championship. After starting 0-3 for the second consecutive season, SDSU reeled off seven wins in its final eight games, including a 29-24 victory over previously undefeated North Dakota State the final week of the season, to claim the GWFC title with a 7-4 overall record and 4-0 mark in league play.

In leading SDSU to the GWFC title, Stiegelmeier was named conference coach of the year and was honored by the American Football Coaches Association as the Division I Football Championship Subdivision Region 5 Coach of the Year. In addition, he was named as one of five finalists in the FCS for the 2007 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award.

After posting back-to-back 6-5 seasons in 2004 and 2005, the Jackrabbits rose another notch in 2006 as they compiled a 7-4 overall record, finishing the season ranked 21st in the final FCS poll conducted by The Sports Network and 22nd in the College Sporting News coaches’ poll. Following an 0-3 start, the Jackrabbits rebounded by winning seven consecutive games for the first time since 1963. Three of the victories came in the closing minutes against nationally ranked teams, setting up a showdown with North Dakota State on the final week of the season for both the Dakota Marker and Great West Football Conference title. Although SDSU fell short in the championship game, the Jackrabbits finished with their most victories since 2003 and their best mark in the three-year history of the GWFC at 3-1.

Stiegelmeier, 53, is the 20th head coach for the Jackrabbits. His tenure of 13 years as head coach is the second-longest head coaching stint in school history.

The Selby, S.D., native first became acquainted with the Jackrabbit football program as a student assistant under John Gregory during SDSU’s only other NCAA playoff season in 1979. With the Jackrabbits’ victory at McNeese State (La.) on Sept. 30, 2006, Stiegelmeier passed Gregory (55-50-3 from 1972-81) for sole possession of second place on the SDSU career wins list.

After graduating from SDSU with degrees in mathematics and physical education, Stiegelmeier enrolled in graduate school at the University of Northern Iowa, where he served on the coaching staff of a Panther squad which posted a 7-4 mark in 1981.

Stiegelmeier coached at Eau Claire (Wis.) North High School from 198184, then returned to his home state as defensive coordinator, secondary coach and recruiting coordinator at Northern State University from 1984-87.

Northern was 8-3 in his last season with the Wolves and finished fourth in the nation in total defense.

Stiegelmeier returned to his alma mater in July 1988, joining Wayne Haensel’s Jackrabbit coaching staff as secondary coach and recruiting coordinator. After Haensel stepped down following the 1990 season, Stiegelmeier was elevated to defensive coordinator by new head coach Mike Daly.

In six seasons as defensive coordinator, Stiegelmeier helped guide the Jackrabbits to a 41-23 record, turning in a winning record in all six seasons, including five seven-win seasons. That track record of success helped Stiegelmeier secure his first head coaching position in December 1996, when he was named Daly’s successor.

ASSISTANT COACHES

LUKE MEADOWS

Assistant Head Coach • Offensive Coordinator • Offensive Line

L

uke Meadows continues his long association with South Dakota State University football as he enters his ninth season as offensive line coach. The longest-tenured assistant on John Stiegelemeier’s coaching staff, Meadows is in his fifth year with the role of assistant head coach and also holds the title of offensive coordinator.

A Hot Springs native, Meadows began his coaching career as an undergraduate student at SDSU. After earning a bachelor’s degree in 1999, he continued on as a graduate assistant with the Jackrabbits during the 1999 and 2000 seasons, coaching the running backs, including Jackrabbit career rushing leader and AllAmerican Josh Ranek.

He then spent a season as offensive line coach at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, before returning to SDSU in July 2002.

In 2005, Meadows coached an offensive line that helped pave the way for the leading rushing attack in the Great West Football Conference, averaging 227.4 yards per game. During Meadows’ time on staff, the Jackrabbits have posted four of the top 10 single-season rushing totals in school history and five of the top 10 single-game rushing performances. In addition, SDSU has recorded four of the top-10 scoring averages in the program’s history, including 35.6 points per game in 2008. The 2008 squad also set an SDSU single-season record with 427 points in 12 games, scoring 40 or more points in a game six times.

With Meadows on the coaching staff, SDSU has established 11 team single-game and single-season offensive records, including rolling up 689 yards of total offense in the 2005 Hobo Day victory over Missouri-Rolla. Jackrabbit players he has coached also have established 30 new individual school records during his tenure.

Under his guidance, Meadows has coached offensive linemen who have combined for six first-team all-conference selections and second-team accolades 10 times, including 2009 honorees Ryan McKnight (first team) and Casey Knips (second team). Three of his former pupils — Mitch Erickson (Seattle Seahawks), Casey Bender (Cleveland Browns) and Casey Knips (Arizona Cardinals) — were in NFL training camps this summer.

As a unit, the Jackrabbit offensive line yielded only 12 sacks for the entire season en route to winning the 2007 Great West Football Conference championship.

Meadows also played a key role in SDSU’s successful transition to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision by serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator for much of his tenure.

CLINT BROWN

Co-Defensive Coordinator • Defensive Line Coach • Recruiting Coordinator

C

lint Brown enters his second season as an assistant coach with the South Dakota State University football program, filling the roles of co-defensive coordinator, defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator.

In 2009 with the Jackrabbits, Brown helped direct a defense that played a prominent role in SDSU’s berth in the Football Championship Subdivison playoffs. SDSU ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense for much of the season, before finishing the year ranked 16th after allowing an average of 17.4 points per game. Four times the Jackrabbits held an opponent without an offensive touchdown.

Additionally, SDSU posted top-20 national rankings in three other defensive categories: pass efficiency defense (fourth, 99.55); rushing defense (104.33 yards per game) and total defense (17th, 289.5 yards per game).

Brown also served as position coach for All-America defensive end Danny Batten, who was honored as Co-Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year and was later selected in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.

Brown has coached at the collegiate level for 16 years. Most recently, Brown served as the defensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator and assistant head coach at Wayne State College (Neb.) for four seasons. During his tenure at Wayne, the Wildcats improved from four wins the first season to a 9-3 record and NCAA Division II playoff berth in 2008. The 2007 squad led the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in sacks and ranked second in total defense.

A native of Arlington, Neb., Brown earned two varsity letters at Nebraska and was a member of the Cornhuskers’ 1994 national championship team. While completing his bachelor’s degrees in secondary education biology and history, Brown began his collegiate coaching career as a student assistant for the Cornhuskers during the spring of 1995. He moved on later that year to coach the outside linebackers at Nebraska Wesleyan, then spent the 1996 season as a graduate assistant at Nebraska-Omaha.

Brown spent two more seasons as a graduate assistant at New Mexico State, working with the Sam linebackers in 1997 and the secondary in 1998.

While in Las Cruces he completed a master of arts degree in curriculum and instruction. After a four-year stint as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Bethel College (Kan.), Brown returned to New Mexico State for the 2004 season, coaching the Aggies’ safeties and special teams. He also served as the team’s academic coordinator.

JAY BUBAK

Co-Defensive Coordinator • Secondary

J

ay Bubak (last name is pronounced BOO-bock), begins his sixth season on the Jackrabbit coaching staff as co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach at South Dakota State University.

During the 2009 season, Bubak helped mentor a defense that ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense for much of the year, before finishing the campaign ranked 16th after allowing an average of 17.4 points per game — its best showing in six seasons at the Division I Football Championship Subdivision level.

Four times the Jackrabbits held an opponent without an offensive touchdown.

Additionally, SDSU posted top-20 national rankings in three other categories: pass efficiency defense (fourth, 99.55); rushing defense (14th, 104.33 yards per game) and total defense (17th, 289.5 yards per game).

During the Jackrabbits’ run to the Great West Football Conference title in 2007, SDSU led the league in scoring defense (22.2) despite playing four teams that ranked in the top 15 for scoring in FCS. The Jackrabbits also led the GWFC in turnover margin (plus-14), creating a league-best 31 takeaways. In addition, SDSU ranked second in pass defense (202.7 yards per game) and sacks (26). Five defensive players earned first-team allGWFC recognition, with three others honored on the second team.

Both of SDSU’s starting cornerbacks, Brock Gentile and Tyler Koch, were honored on the all-GWFC First Team after combining for 10 interceptions.

Koch also was named to All-America squads by The Associated Press and Sports Network after tallying a league-best seven interceptions, three of which he returned for scores.

SDSU also played for the Great West title in 2006 as the Jackrabbit defense allowed only 21.4 points per game.

A 1993 graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Neb., Bubak previously spent six seasons at Missouri Western State College in St. Joseph, Mo. After joining the Griffons’ coaching staff as secondary coach in 1999, Bubak was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2000, a position he filled for five seasons.

While at Missouri Western, he helped lead the Griffons to a share of their first-ever Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association title in football during the 2003 season, finishing the season 9-3 overall and 7-2 in league play. The 2003 squad led the league with 30 turnovers forced and 33 sacks, paced by All-America free safety Pierre Thomas, who led all divisions of the NCAA with 14 interceptions and 362 interception return yards.

As a player, Bubak was a four-year letterman and team defensive most valuable player at safety for Nebraska Wesleyan University, in Lincoln, Neb, from 1989-92. He received all-conference and CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition, while also serving as team captain. NWU won two league championships and made a pair of NAIA playoff appearances.

Bubak began his coaching career in 1993 at Nebraska Wesleyan as an assistant in charge of the secondary. After a two-year stint as the defensive backfield and quarterbacks coach at Chase County High School in his native Imperial, Neb., he moved on to the University of South Dakota, where he served two years as a graduate assistant working with the linebackers and one year as a full-time assistant coach, working with the defensive backs and special teams. Two players he tutored, Matt Chatham and Josh Stamer, went on to play in the NFL.

JOSH DAVIS Wide Receivers

J

osh Davis will face the challenge of molding a young group of wide receivers as he begins his second full season as a member of the South Dakota State University football coaching staff.

During the Jackrabbits’ 2009 playoff-qualifying season, Davis mentored a veteran group of receivers led by two-time second-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection Glen Fox. The senior trio of Fox, Mike Steffen and Saunders Montague combined to account for 142 receptions, 1,875 yards and 10 touchdowns.

A native of Omaha, Neb., Davis previously served as a graduate assistant on John Stiegelmeier’s coaching staff during the 2007 season and also served as a student intern in 2006 while completing his bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation. He further gained coaching experience at the collegiate level by mentoring the wide receivers at Council Bluffs-based Iowa Western Community College in the spring of 2009.

A record-setting wide receiver at SDSU from 2002-05, Davis still holds the Jackrabbit career mark of 225 receptions, while his 3,192 receiving yards rank second on the all-time SDSU charts. In addition, Davis holds the SDSU single-game record with 16 receptions, a feat he accomplished against Western Washington in 2002.

He recorded at least 40 receptions in all four seasons and led the team in catches three times, including 70 in 2002, a figure which ranks in a tie for second place on the Jackrabbit single-season charts.

Davis was a first-team all-North Central Conference selection in 2003 and was a second-team all-Great West Football Conference honoree in 2005, the Jackrabbits’ second season competing in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision.

In addition to his coaching duties, Davis helps coordinate the team’s travel and camps.

ASSISTANT COACHES

ERIC EIDSNESS

Quarterbacks • Passing Game Coordinator

E

ric Eidsness rejoins the Jackrabbit coaching staff as quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator after serving as head coach at Southwest Minnesota State for the past six seasons.

In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Eidsness also serves as the program’s pro liasion.

Prior to taking over the SMSU program, Eidsness served as an assistant at SDSU under John Stiegelmeier on two separate occasions. He began his association with the Jackrabbits as a graduate assistant during the 1996 and 1997 seasons, working with the team’s receivers. After a year as offensive coordinator at Ferris State (Mich.), Eidsness returned to SDSU in 1999 as offensive coordinator, while also coaching the team’s quarterbacks and running backs.

In five seasons directing the offense at SDSU, the Jackrabbits averaged 27.6 points per game while competing at the Division II level. During his tenure, the Jackrabbits set numerous school records both rushing the ball with All-America running back Josh Ranek and throwing the ball with quarterback Dan Fjeldheim.

Eidsness left SDSU after the 2003 season to become head coach at Southwest Minnesota State. He compiled a 26-40 career record during his tenure on the Mustang sideline, which included a 6-5 season in 2008 — only the eighth winning season in school history. His 26 victories as head coach rank second in program history.

While at the helm of the Mustang program, Eidsness coached 61 all-conference players, including 10 who earned all-region honors. SMSU increased its scoring average each of his last four seasons, from 20.1 points per game in 2006 to 36.0 points in 2009, tying a school record with eight games of 30plus points. The 2009 squad also averaged 396.2 yards of total offense per game.

A Sioux Falls native, Eidsness attended St. Cloud State University for two years before transferring to the University of Sioux Falls, where he graduated in 1992. He spent two years playing in Europe, where he also began his coaching career with the Robinson Sphinx in Paris, France. Upon returning to the United States, Eidsness served as quarterbacks and receivers coach at Morningside during the 1994 and 1995 seasons before enrolling in graduate school at SDSU. A second-generation coach, Eidsness followed is the footsteps of his father, Lyle, who coached at the high school and collegiate levels throughout the Upper Midwest for more than 30 years. Lyle served on his son’s coaching staff at Southwest Minnesota State for four years (2004-07) as special teams and running backs coach.

SHAWN MENNENGA Linebackers

S

hawn Mennenga prepares for his second season as linebackers coach for the South Dakota State University football team.

During SDSU’s run to its first-ever playoff appearance at the Division I level in 2009, Mennenga mentored one of the top-performing and deepest linebacking corps in the Football Championship Subdivision. Junior Derek Domino was honored as a first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection, while seniors Chris Johnson and Jimmy Rogers received honorable mention accolades. All three ranked among the team’s top six tacklers, combining for 241 tackles and 17 tackles for loss.

The linebackers played a prominent role on a defensive unit that ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense for much of the year, before finishing the campaign ranked 16th after allowing an average of 17.4 points per game — its best showing in six seasons at the Division I Football Championship Subdivision level.

Four times the Jackrabbits held an opponent without an offensive touchdown.

Additionally, SDSU posted top-20 national rankings in three other defensive categories: pass efficiency defense (fourth, 99.55); rushing defense (104.33 yards per game) and total defense (17th, 289.5 yards per game).

Before joining the Jackrabbit coaching staff, Mennenga served four seasons as defensive coordinator at Fort Hays State (Kan.), where he coached 18 all-conference performers and one all-region player. He also oversaw a kickoff coverage unit consistently ranked among the top 20 at the NCAA Division II level.

Prior to his stint at Fort Hays State, Mennenga oversaw a rebuilding process at Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Mo., where he served as head coach for three seasons (2002-04). He was elevated to the head coaching position after serving as the team’s defensive coordinator in 2001, during which his unit ranked 10th in the NAIA ranks for pass defense and 18th in total defense.

After serving as an assistant high school coach for one season, Mennenga began his collegiate coaching career in 1994 as a graduate assistant at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo. He was later hired as a full-time assistant, coaching the secondary during the 1995 and 1996 seasons.

In 1997, Mennenga moved up to the Division I-AA (now FCS) level, coaching the outside linebackers for a Western Kentucky team that reached the quarterfinals of the playoffs. The next year, Mennenga became a coordinator for the first time as he was hired as defensive coordinator at Hutchinson Community College (Kan.), where he stayed for three seasons.

As a player, Mennenga lettered as a defensive back at Missouri in 1992. A recipient of the Senior Scholastic Award, he earned a bachelor of science degree in educational studies with an emphasis in exercise science in 1993. He added a master’s degree in education from Southwest Baptist in 1998.

During his tenure with the Jackrabbits, Moore has coached three all-conference running backs. Anthony Watson and Cory Koenig ended their careers second and fifth, respectively, on SDSU’s career rushing chart, and Kyle Minett enters his senior year already in the top five after posting back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

Moore played an instrumental role in the development of two-time all-Great West Football Conference tight end Chris Wagner, who later signed as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders. He also has served as a mentor to tight end Colin Cochart, an honorable mention all-Missouri Valley Football Conference tight end each of the past two seasons.

Aside from his coaching duties, Moore has performed a key role in the academic success of the Jackrabbit football team, which has led its league in the number of academic all-league selections each of the past five seasons. In addition, four Jackrabbits have earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors, two have received Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association Postgraduate Scholarships and two players have been bestowed NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships.

Moore previously served as a graduate assistant at SDSU during the 2003 and 2004 seasons, working with the running backs, tight ends and special teams while pursuing a master’s degree in education administration. He later added a master’s degree in sports administration at SDSU. Prior to returning to Brookings, he served as head coach of the Wyoming Cavalry of the National Indoor Football League, where he compiled an 18-11 record over two seasons. In 2005, Moore led the Casper-based Cavalry to a franchise-best 10-5 record and a playoff berth, while also serving as the team’s offensive coordinator.

In 2009, Currier moved to defense, where he assisted co-defensive coordinator Clint Brown with the defensive line. As a unit, SDSU defensive linemen combined to record 42 tackles for loss and 24 sacks in 12 games to spearhead a run to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs for the first time in program history.

Currier had the opportunity to help mentor All-America defensive end Danny Batten, who was honored as Co-Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 and was selected in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Batten finished third in the voting for the 2009 Buck Buchanan Award, which honors the top defensive player in the FCS ranks.

A native of Iroquois, S.D., Currier served as an assistant coach at the high school level for five seasons before joining the SDSU coaching staff. His squad at Iroquois High School won the state Class 9B championship in 2006.

2010 Jackrabbit Football

COUGHLIN-ALUMNI STADIUM Coughlin-Alumni Stadium is in its 49th season as home of Jackrabbit football.

In the quest to maintain it as one of the top outdoor football facilities in the Upper Midwest, Coughlin-Alumni Stadium has undergone major changes during the past decade.

A new scoreboard was installed in the south end zone prior to the 2005 season. The scoreboard, which was manufactured by Brookings-based Daktronics, measures approximately 121 feet wide by 56 feet high and features a large full-color ProStar® video replay screen in the center with additional statistical and advertising panels.

The football scoreboard was part of a $3 million upgrade to scoreboard display systems and signage at SDSU athletic facilities.

Also in the past decade at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, lights were added, parking lots were paved, new restrooms were constructed, a new ticket booth added, and an organized tailgating area known as “The Backyard” was cleared directly north of the stadium.

CAS will see other changes this fall as the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center, located in the north end zone, will house the Jackrabbit football team for the first time.

With the addition of the lights during the summer of 2000, CAS also became the home of the Brookings High School Bobcats.

SDSU played its first game under the lights at CAS on Sept. 1, 2001, defeating Ferris State (Mich.), 34-24. The Jackrabbits have gone on to compile an 18-5 record in night games at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.

The natural-grass stadium opened Sept. 22, 1962, when the Jacks lost a 9-7 decision to Arkansas State.

Through the first 48 years of operation, there have been 256 games against 59 different opponents at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, with SDSU holding a 158-98 record (.617 winning percentage) on its home field.

Since moving to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision in 2004, the Jackrabbits have posted a 24-7 mark at CAS. That includes a7-1 record at home against Missouri Valley Football Conference opponents.

The largest crowd ever to see a football game of any kind in South Dakota came through the turnstiles on Nov. 17, 2007, when 16,345 fans watched the Jackrabbits defeat North Dakota State, 29-24, for the Great West Football Conference title. NDSU entered the game undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the FCS Coaches Poll.

SDSU also set a single-season attendance record during the 2007 campaign as an average of 11,218 fans attended each of the Jackrabbits’ six home games. Four of the games drew crowds better than 10,000 and three ranked among the 10 largest crowds in stadium history. The Jackrabbits have performed well in front of large crowds, winning eight of the 10 most-attended games.

The previous single-game attendance record was set on Hobo Day, Oct. 19, 1985, when 16,193 fans saw SDSU defeat the University of South Dakota 24-12. USD also was undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time.

The stadium project was started after Charles Coughlin, a 1909 graduate and former student-athlete, donated $50,000 towards the building of a new stadium to replace State Field. The remaining $250,000 of the original $300,000 cost was raised from alumni, students and friends of SDSU.

2010 Jackrabbit Football

DYKHOUSE STUDENT-ATHLETE CENTER The newest athletic facility at South Dakota State University, the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center opened in early 2010.

The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center will help Jackrabbit Athletics take another step forward in its mission to produce student-athletes as Lifelong Champions.

The 30,000-square-foot facility: • Houses an academic center for all SDSU student-athletes.

• Serves as the home of Jackrabbit football with coaches offices, locker room, meeting rooms, a strength and conditioning center and athletic training facilities.

• Provides a dedicated area to showcase the program to recruits and donors.

The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center is equipped with seven meeting rooms for the Jackrabbit football team to accommodate offense, defense, special teams,as well as specified position space as necessary.

The home of Jackrabbit football players consists of a state-ofthe-art locker room, which is second to none in the region. It embodies everything that Jackrabbit Athletics stands for: Honor, Tradition and Excellence.

Players will have the opportunity to condition and train in the 4,100-square-foot Strength & Conditioning Center, filled with the latest strength training and fitness equipment.

The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center was made possible through leadership gifts from the Dana and La Dawn Dykhouse family and South Dakota businessman and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford.

Dana Dykhouse, president and Chief Executive Officer of First Premier Bank in Sioux Falls, is a 1979 graduate of SDSU. He lettered three years for the Jackrabbit football team, earning honorable mention all-North Central Conference honors as a defensive tackle in 1978. La Dawn Dykhouse also graduated in 1979 from SDSU, where she was a Pride of the Dakotas Dakota Deb Member.

They are the parents of two children: Dan (Kristina), a 2007 alumnus and football letterwinner from 2004-06; and Alana, who graduated from Black Hills State University in the spring of 2010 after lettering four times in women’s basketball.

The Chicoine Champions Room is named in recognition of the gift provided by the Jeff and Chris Chicoine family of Lake Forest, Ill. Jeff Chicoine is a 1968 agricultural economics graduate and football letterwinner. The Chicoine Champions Room will serve as a hub for football recruiting and will be transformed to a donor hospitality suite on gamedays.

To date, the Dana and La Dawn Dykhouse family, T. Denny Sanford and nearly 50 other donors have given more than $6 million in support of the project. Many have accelerated their gifts to the University, which has increased the amount of the donations through interest earned.

2010 Jackrabbit Football

ACADEMIC SUCCESS The South Dakota State University football team continued to gain conference and national recognition for its academic pursuits during the 2009 season.

Headlining the individual award winners were juniors Kyle Minett and Conrad Kjerstad, who received recognition on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Team within the University Division.

A running back from Ruthton, Minn., Minett was honored on the first team for the second consecutive year with a 3.60 grade-point average while majoring in economics.

Kjerstad, a safety from Wall, earned secondteam honors with a 3.93 GPA in agricultural business. He later was named to the 12th annual Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star Team.

Minett and Kjerstad were joined on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team by senior offensive lineman Casey Knips and junior punter Dean Priddy.

Knips, a native of Adrian, Minn., compiled a 3.69 GPA while majoring in construction management. He also was a semifinalist for the 2009 William V. Campbell Trophy, which is awarded to the college football’s top scholar-athlete.

A native of Eden Prairie, Minn., Priddy is cur-

rently pursuing a master’s degree in mathematics after compiling a 3.71 GPA as an undergraduate.

After leading the Missouri Valley Football Conference in team grade-point average during the 2008 season, the Jackrabbits posted a league-best 10 selection, including three firstteam honorees, on the 2009 MVFC All-Academic Team, which was announced in December.

It marked the fifth consecutive season SDSU led its football conference in all-academic picks.

Headlining the list of Jackrabbit honorees were running backs and repeat first-team selections Minett and Tyler Duffy.

A junior running back and Brookings native, Duffy earned a spot on the first team with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average while majoring in electrical engineering.

Kjerstad was the other first-team selection.

SDSU’s lone representative on the second team was senior linebacker Chris Johnson, a Council Bluffs, Iowa, native who has compiled a 3.49 GPA in economics.

Six other Jackrabbit players received honorable mention honors: seniors Knips and Jimmy Rogers, juniors Derek Domino, Matt Hylland and Priddy, and sophomore Brad Iverson.

SDSU, coached by John Stiegelmeier, led the

Great West Football Conference in the number of academic all-conference selections from 2005 through 2007.

Nominees to the 2009 Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Academic team must have been starters or key reserves with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade-point average. Studentathletes must have reached sophomore academic and athletic standing at their institutions and must have completed at least one full academic year at their institution. League sports information directors voted on the team by designating 11 players for first-team honors and 11 players for second-team recognition.

The league also recognized 52 Jackrabbit players following the conclusion of the 2009-10 academic year on the MVFC Honor Roll for posting a GPA of 3.0 or better while being enrolled in at least 12 hours during the fall. Of those 52 players, 25 qualified for the Commissioner’s Academic Excellence Award, which requires a minimum 3.2 GPA for each of the previous two semesters and at least a sophomore in academic standing.

In addition, Duffy, Knips and Priddy received the Presidents Council Academic Award, which requires a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA and within 18 hours of graduation.

It’s through cooperation and teamwork that we connect our small town strengths and resources to the global market. It’s also why we’re committed to recruiting the brightest leaders of tomorrow.

COACH STIG’S COMMENTS “Ross has been an excellent player for SDSU football. We knew he was totally committed to our program when he moved from Texas to South Dakota soon after graduating from high school. That commitment has only gotten stronger. For a defensive lineman, Ross has great feet and has a knack for being in the right spot. As a person, he has a great personality and an even better sense of humor. Ross Basham Makes a Difference.”

COACH STIG’S COMMENTS “Tyler Duffy is the picture of a studentathlete. He truly reaches his potential in each area. As an engineering student, you can’t do any better, having maintained a perfect 4.0 grade-point average. As a player, when his number is called he does exactly what he should do to the best of his ability. He can catch, he can run the ball and is an excellent blocker. Tyler Duffy Makes a Difference when he puts on the Yellow and Blue.”

ABOUT ILLINOIS STATE

Head Coach Brock Spack Illinois State University head coach Brock Spack is in his second season in charge of the Redbird football program.

After starting the 2009 season with a 1-3 record with losses at Illinois and to nationally-ranked South Dakota State, the Redbirds won five of their last seven games to finish the season with 6-5 record and the team's first winning campaign since 2006.

Spack came to Illinois State following 12 seasons as the defensive coordinator at Purdue, where he guided the Boilermakers to the top-ranked defense in the Big Ten Conference in 2002 and the 13th-best defense in the nation in 2003. He coached in 11 bowl games while at Purdue, including a Rose Bowl appearance in 2001.

As defensive coordinator at Wyoming in 1995 and 1996, Spack recharged the defense, which improved from fifth to second in total defense in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). The Cowboys topped the WAC in sacks during his two years, including a school-record 46 in 1996.

Spack was Purdue's inside linebackers coach from 1991 to 1994. From 1987 to 1990, Spack was an assistant coach at Eastern Illinois, where he earned a master’s degree, and in 1986, was at Wabash College (defensive line/strength coach).

Spack graduated from Purdue in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in social studies. He played linebacker for the Boilermakers from 1980-83, earning first-team All-Big Ten and honorable mention All-America honors as a sophomore. He was a three-year starter and still ranks fifth on the Boilermakers’ career tackles list with 384.

Illinois State enters tonight’s Missouri Valley Football Conference matchup with high expectations after an impressive end to the 2009 campaign.

Picked to finish third in the preseason MVFC poll, the Redbirds split a pair of nonconference games to open the 2010 season.

Tonight’s game will be Illinois State’s first against an FCS opponent this season, pulling out a wild 55-54 victory over NCAA Division II member Central Missouri in the season opener on Sept. 2 before falling 37-3 at Big Ten member Northwestern (Ill.) on Sept. 11.

The Redbird offense put up 509 yards of total offense against Missouri State.

Overall, quarterback Matt Brown, the MVFC Freshman of the Year in 2009, has completed 69.2 percent (36-of-52) of his passes for 436 yards and three touchdowns this season. His NCAA efficiency rating stands at 151.01.

Brown’s primary target has been Marvon Sanders, who has caught 10 passes for 130 yards. Sophomore Tyrone Walker has added seven receptions for 65 yards. In all, 11 different Redbird players have caught passes so far this season.

Running back Erik Smith, a transfer from Wisconsin, has been a dual threat out of the

Bledsoe

Brown

backfield. Smith leads the team with 118 rushing yards and is averaging 5.9 yards per carry.

Smith also has caught seven passes for 56 yards.

Backup Ashton Leggett has rushed for 95 yards with an average of 5.6 yards per carry this season, while Clifton Gordon, the team’s top returning running back, has caught four passes out of the backfield for 85 yards, including a touchdown that covered 54 yards.

The backs run behind an experienced offensive line anchored by junior Nick Bledsoe, a second-team all-MVFC performer last season.

Starting tackles and seniors Dane Zumbahlen and Chris Riley also return. Riley is a nephew of author Roald Dahl, whose works include “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Defensively, the Redbirds have struggled as they have allowed an average of 45.5 points and 519.5 yards per game through their first two contests. The pass defense has been of particular concern as Illinois State is allowing 409 yards per game, including 547 in the narrow victory over Central Missouri, and has given up eight passing touchdowns.

Junior linebacker Josh Howe leads the team with 22 tackles and has one of the squad’s two interceptions on the season. Sophomore Austin Davis has contributed 21 tackles and a

Hemphill

team-best four tackles for loss from his linebacking position, with Mike Zimmer adding 14 stops. Davis also has forced and recovered a fumble.

Returning starters Eric Brunner (10 tackles, one TFL) and Dave Rivas (1 tackle) form the interior of the defensive line.

In the secondary, senior Kelvyn Hemphill has played in 33 games — the most among any current Redbird on the depth chart — and has tallied four tackles from his cornerback position. He also has contributed as a kick returner.

At the opposite corner, freshman Marcus Harris has made one tackle and returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown against Central Missouri.

On special teams, senior Steven Fetzer has pulled double duty as kicker and punter. Fetzer is a perfect 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, with a long of 33 yards, and is averaging 39.5 yards per punt. Three of his 11 punts have landed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.

In the return game, Ben Ericksen is averaging 169 all-purpose yards per game. Ericksen returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown against Missouri State and is averaging 29.7 yards per return overall.

COACH TO CURE MD The South Dakota State University coaching staff will join football coaches from across the country next weekend (Sept. 25) in the Coach to Cure MD campaign.

About Coach to Cure MD (CTC) Coach To Cure MD is a partnership between the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), a professional organization for over 10,000 college football coaches and staff, and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the largest national charity devoted exclusively to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In 2008 the AFCA adopted PPMD’s Coach To Cure MD program as one of their charity efforts. One reason the AFCA was drawn to Coach To Cure MD was because of the unique parallels between Duchenne, a disorder which robs young men of precious muscle strength and college football, a game where young men are at the peak of their muscle strength.

The goals of Coach To Cure MD are simple: raise national awareness of the disorder and raise money to fund research for a cure.

Our approach to reaching these goals is also simple. One football Saturday of each season (this year it will be on September 25, 2010) AFCA coaches nationwide agree to promote Coach To Cure MD. By wearing armbands, mentioning Coach To Cure MD during on and off-field interviews, and in some instances doing even more extensive media relations around the date, coaches are rolling up their sleeves and proudly getting involved.

About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed during early childhood. A progressive muscle disorder that causes loss of muscle function and independence, Duchenne affects approximately one out of every 3,500 boys and 20,000 babies born each year worldwide. The disorder manifests primarily in boys because the affected gene is found on the X-chromosome. Duchenne knows no other boundaries, touching all races and cultures.

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) estimates that there are approximately 15,000 young men with Duchenne alive today in the United States. Duchenne can occur during any pregnancy regardless of family history. To date, there is no cure or treatment to stop the progression of Duchenne, and young men with Duchenne typically live only into their twenties.

To Contribute Donations will be accepted online at:

www.coachtocuremd.org About Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) is the largest nonprofit organization in the United States focused entirely on Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Since 1994, PPMD has improved the treatment, quality of life, and long-term outlook for all individuals affected by Duchenne through research, advocacy, education, and compassion. Because of PPMD’s efforts, families affected by Duchenne have better access to state-of-the-art care information, research is moving forward at an accelerated pace, and legislation now exists funding Duchenne research and outreach programs.

PPMD takes a comprehensive approach in the fight against Duchenne—funding research, raising awareness, promoting advocacy, connecting the community, and broadening treatment options. Only this comprehensive approach will lead to the day that 100 percent of those diagnosed can turn to a treatment that will lead to the end of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

COACH STIG’S COMMENTS “We ask our players to excel in everything they do while they are a member of the SDSU football team. Dean Priddy has done just that.

In high school he was a great student-athlete.

Since he arrived at SDSU he has gotten better each year. His ability to execute all the different punts is unbelievable. He has made many sky or directional punts that most teams don’t even ask their punters to make. When our punt team takes the field, we know good things will happen. As a student, Dean will get both his undergraduate degree and his master’s in math in five years. He is a brilliant student who is a Difference Maker on the field.”

HAPPY TO LEARN — Sophomores Claire Jucht, left, and Kayla Jessen listen to a human anatomy tutoring session Sept. 8 at the Wintrode Student Success Center. In addition to offering tutoring

for students of all abilities, the center offers programs to enhance reading and writing skills, and works with those with disabilities and first-generation college students.

At Wintrode Center Success comes wrapped in many packages Claire Jucht took the college prep track, but when the 2009 Sioux Falls Roosevelt grad listened to her Chemistry 112 instructor as a first-semester SDSU freshman, she thought, “I don’t remember any of this.”

But rather than continue to struggle, the 19-year-old dietetics major quickly balanced the formula by receiving tutoring through the Wintrode Student Success Center at the corner of 8th Street and 11th Avenue on the SDSU campus. “I wanted to get help early so I didn’t have to dig my way out of a hole,” Jucht said.

She found a comrade in classmate Kayla Jessen, a 20-year-old from Redfield, who wasn’t satisfied with the C she got on her first Chem 112 test.

At the Wintrode Center she found tutors that “would answer my homework questions and tell me what to focus on. It really helped a lot and made the information clearer when it came time to study,” said Jessen, a prephysical therapy and athletic training major.

The bottom line: Jessen got the grade she wanted — an A. The Wintrode Center, housed in the former United Campus Ministries building and funded by a generous donation from Floridians Virgil and Josephine Wintrode, serves students of all abilities in a variety of programs.

It was the desire of Virgil and Josephine Wintrode to help students overcome obstacles and gain the skills they need to move forward.

In addition to the tutoring program it also is home to the Office of Disability Services, the Reading Enrichment Lab, TRIO Programs, and the Writing Center. All programs are free for SDSU students.

Office of Disability Services: The Office of Disability Services is committed to ensuring equal access and opportunity to individuals with disabilities. The office works to accomplish this mission by partnering with other offices across the university community, such as Academic Evaluation and Assessment, and Facilities and Services. 688-4504

Reading Enrichment Lab: The Reading Enrichment Lab offers opportunities for students to develop active strategic reading and verbal skills.

The lab strives to benefit all levels of students and offers Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency exam review sessions, Medical College Admissions Test preparation, and individual or small group consultations tailored to student needs. 688-6818 TRIO Student Support Services: The TRIO Student Support Services Program offers individualized guidance in managing academic pursuits, personalized financial, career, and social support to ease transitions through college, and tutorial services to first-generation, low-income students as well as those with a documented disability. 688-6653 TRIO Upward Bound: Upward Bound supports high school students in their preparation for successful college entrance. The program provides academic preparation in areas of tutoring, mentoring, cultural enrichment, college tours, and personal development. 688-6653 Wintrode Tutoring Program: SDSU students receive free tutoring in select courses. Through scheduled appointments or walk-in review sessions, tutors help students understand course content and develop study strategies. The program is sponsored by the College of General Studies and the Wintrode Endowment through the SDSU Foundation. 688-4155 The Writing Center: The SDSU Writing Center serves all students enrolled in the university, both graduate and undergraduate. Students can chat with a consultant about essays, compositions, research papers, abstracts or any type of writing that they have concerns about. 688-6559

IN THE

PROS

Heading into the start of the 2010 football season, six former South Dakota State standouts were in training camps of National Football League teams, continuing the Jackrabbits’ long tradition of developing players into pro prospects.

Headlining the list was Adam Vinatieri of the Indianapolis Colts. Vinatieri has earned a reputation as one the most consistent and clutch kickers in the NFL. After two Pro Bowl selections (2002, 2004), he left New England following the 2005 season as the team’s career scoring leader. Vinatieri’s career totals include 338-of-412 on field goal attempts, 82 percent, and 1,530 career points. He holds the second-longest streak of consecutive 100-point seasons to start a career in NFL history with 13 — a streak that ended during an injury-plagued 2009 campaign.

Vinatieri also has excelled in the postseason. He holds the distinction of being the only kicker in NFL history to play in five different Super Bowl games, and made a field goal four of those games. He kicked last-second game-winning field goals in Super Bowl XXXVI against St. Louis and Super Bowl XXXVIII versus Carolina, as well as a game-tying 45-yard field goal in a snowstorm against Oakland in the 2001 AFC Playoffs. His career postseason totals include 42-of-51 on field goals and a perfect 51-of-51 on extra points. Vinatieri’s field goal totals are NFL postseason records, as are his 177 points.

Vinatieri began his professional career with the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe before signing with the New England Patriots in 1996.

Four members of SDSU’s 2009 Football Championship Subdivision playoff team competed for NFL roster spots this summer, including defenisve standout Danny Batten.

Batten became the first Jackrabbit player in 11 years to be taken in the NFL Draft, when he was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round. A defensive end in college, Batten was moved to linebacker at the professional level, but will miss the 2010 season after suffering an injury.

Three other Jackrabbit standouts signed free-agent contracts following the 2010 draft. Offensive linemen Casey Bender and Casey Knips agreed to

terms with the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals, respecively, while linebacker Chris Johnson originally received a tryout with the Chicago Bears before signing with the Arizona Cardinals.

In addition, Mitch Erickson spent training camp with the Seattle Seahawks, after spending the 2008 and 2009 season on the practice squad for the Denver Broncos.

Another former Jackrabbit kicker, Parker Douglass, is playing professionally with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League.

Douglass kicked for the California Redwoods in 2009.

MVFC PRESEASON POLL The South Dakota State University has been picked to finish in second place in the 2010 Missouri Valley Football Conference race, according to a poll conducted by league coaches, sports information directors and media that was released in early August.

The Jackrabbits finished the 2009 season as league runner-up with a 7-1 conference record and 8-4 overall mark. SDSU made its first postseason appearance in 30 years and first as a member of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision, falling to top-seeded Montana in the opening round.

Defending champion Southern Illinois was picked to repeat, gaining 30 of the 36 first-place votes to tally 313 points. SDSU was next with 252 points, including a pair of first-place votes, followed by Illinois State with 249 points and three first-place votes.

The middle third of the preseason poll consisted of Northern Iowa, fourth with 244 points and one first-place vote; Missouri State, fifth with 164 points, and North Dakota State, sixth with 151 points.

The bottom third of the poll included Youngstown State (130 points), Western Illinois (70) and Indiana State (47).

In addition, five Jackrabbit players were named to the MVFC Preseason Team. On offense, senior center Ryan McKnight and senior running back Kyle Minett were recognized.

A first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection in 2009, McKnight started all 12 games for the Jackrabbits' playoff-qualifying squad and was an integral part of an offense that averaged 27.8 points and 341.2 yards of total offense per game.

Minett, a native of Ruthton, Minn., has been named to the Walter Payton Award watch list for the top offensive player in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision, as well as to the Sports Network Preseason All-America Third Team. Minett enters his senior season third among returning FCS backs and fourth on the SDSU career charts with 3,069 career rushing yards. A two-time second-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection, he has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, rushing for 1,304 yards and 16 TDs last season, when he was named to the Associated Press All-America Third Team.

The defensive unit includes senior linebacker Derek Domino and senior strong safety Conrad Kjerstad.

Domino posted a team-high 100 tackles in 2009, earning first-team all-MVFC honors. The Spring Lake Park, Minn., native also shared the team lead with five interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns.

Kjerstad ranked third on the team with 81 tackles and shared team-high honors with five interceptions. A second-team all-league selec-

SDSU also was represented on special teams as senior punter Dean Priddy was named to the MVFC Preseason Team. An Eden Prairie, Minn., native, Priddy averaged a career-best 41.2 yards per punt in earning second-team allMVFC honors in 2009.

Senior tight end Colin Cochart recevied honorable mention recognition. The Kewaunee, Wis., product led the team with five touchdown catches last season, while adding 26 receptions for 240 yards.

50 The Bum

The past four seasons have dealt great change to the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

Within that span, the league has lost a member, gained two members and changed its name.

Despite those developments, a quality nationally competitive product has been a constant for the league, which celebrated its Silver Anniversary in 2009.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference enters its 26th year of existence this fall and has proven to be one of the nation’s premier NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leagues.

There’s not much that has eluded the conference in its first 25 years of existence. The league’s first two-plus decades have included national championships, national players of the year, national coaches of the year, No. 1 national rankings, and countless All-Americans.

Strong coaching and great players have helped make the league a national force, but the stability and leadership of Commissioner Patty Viverito -- the only commissioner the league has ever known -- has helped make the Missouri Valley Football Conference a standard bearer on the FCS scene. Indeed, all signs point to continued national prominence for the Missouri Valley Football Conference as it enters its 26th season in 2010.

In June 2008, presidents of the nine-member Gateway Football Conference and the 10-member Missouri Valley Conference approved a rebranding initiative that changed the football conference name from the Gateway Football Conference to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It represented the second name change for the football league. Initially, the conference competed as the Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference (1985-91) and the Gateway Football Conference (1992-2007).

Although the league shares the Missouri Valley name, the football-playing members compete under a separate administrative umbrella, as the Missouri Valley Conference and the Missouri Valley Football Conference will remain separate entities.

While the 2009 season didn’t produce a national championship, it was a successful one, as Southern Illinois and South Dakota State represented the conference in the playoffs, marking the 15th-straight season in which at least two teams have participated in post-season play. For three-straight weeks to close out the regular season, Southern Illinois enjoyed the No. 1 national ranking, while RB Deji Karim of Southern Illinois and DE Danny Batten of South Dakota State were finalists in the Walter Payton Award and Buck Buchanan voting, respectively, with each finishing third.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference has two recent national championships (Western

Kentucky - 2002; Youngstown State - 1997), and league members Youngstown State (3) and Southern Illinois (1) own additional titles prior to their league membership, meaning six FCS championship trophies are housed on league campuses, in addition to three (Youngstown State twice and UNI in 2005) runner-up finishes.

Only five FCS leagues possess more than a single FCS championship trophy, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference is among that elite.

In recent years, the league has established itself as a leader among FCS conferences. During the past 13 years, the league has two national championships and eight other semifinal trips.

The league’s 36-27 playoff mark in that span is third-best among all FCS leagues, and the conference has had four teams reach the title game since 1997.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference success is not limited to the immediate past. During the decade of the 1990’s, current members of the league compiled a 34-19 mark in the FCS playoffs, bettered only by the Southern Conference, whose members were 37-19 in that decade.

Team accomplishments have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Football Conference as an FCS elite, but individuals at the league’s member institutions are the real source of pride within the conference. Thanks to great players and strong coaching, the Missouri Valley Football Conference has reached and will maintain its place among the FCS best.

Last year, despite tough scheduling, six teams in the conference had winning records, marking the first time that’s ever happened in the 25-year history of the league. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has had four teams (or more) with better than .500 records in the same season 16 times now, including the past 12 seasons.

In 1997, Youngstown State grabbed the crowned jewel for the conference, as the league had one of its most successful seasons. In addition to claiming the league’s first national championship, the Penguins finished the year ranked No. 1, marking the first time a league member has held that spot in a season-ending poll. That year, Western Illinois was at No. 6, marking the first time the league ended the year with two teams ranked among the top six.

In 1999, the Missouri Valley Football Conference trumped that, as Youngstown State finished the year No. 2 and Illinois State was No. 3. UNI also finished in the top 20 in both nationally recognized polls.

In 2002, Western Kentucky added to the league’s national championship trophy case with an FCS crown, while both WKU (No. 1) and Western Illinois (No. 5) finished among the nation’s top five in the season-ending polls.

The Hilltoppers became the first school to earn

2009 Jackrabbit Football

MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL CONFERENCE victories against the tourney’s top three seeds en route to their national championship.

In 2003, four Valley teams represented the league in the 16-team NCAA playoffs, marking the first time any league has sent that many to the playoffs in the same year.

In 2004, Southern Illinois spent a leaguerecord 11 weeks as the nation’s top-ranked team, while all eight league teams received votes for the Top 25 at some point in the season. Linebacker Boomer Grigsby of Illinois State earned a National Defensive Player of the Year honor, while SIU’s Jerry Kill was National Coach of the Year.

In 2005, UNI became the fourth league school to reach the FCS championship game since 1997, while Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky combined to hold the nation’s No. 1 ranking in the top-25 polls for five weeks.

In 2006, Youngstown State won its secondstraight league championship and the Penguins were joined in the playoff field by Illinois State and Southern Illinois. That marked only the second time in league history the league had more than two teams qualify for the 16-team playoff field. SIU’s Arkee Whitlock was a national player of the year award winner (College Sporting News) and was third in the Walter Payton Award balloting.

In 2008, six teams were nationally ranked in the same poll, marking the first time in league history that had happened. Those six teams were ranked for four consecutive weeks. North Dakota State held the nation’s No. 1 spot for its first two weeks as a conference member, while rookie coach Dale Lennon of Southern Illinois became just the third mentor to win Coach of the Year honors in his first league season.

The original Gateway Conference was founded as a women’s athletic organization in August 1982, following the dissolution of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. In September of that year, Patty Viverito was named the first commissioner of the newly founded conference, a position she maintains today. Before moving to its permanent headquarters in St. Louis, the conference spent three organizational months on the campus of Eastern Illinois University.

In July of 1992, the 10-team conference disbanded as its women’s programs realigned with their men’s teams in their respective conferences. The league assumed its new name on July 1, 1992, becoming the Gateway Football Conference, an NCAA FCS football league comprised of seven Midwest institutions.

The Gateway Conference football division was born on August 21, 1985, when the Gate-

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE officially opened the Missouri Valley Football Conference era by defeating Youngstown State, 40-7, on Sept. 6, 2008, at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. The Jackrabbits ended their inaugural season in the MVFC with a 6-2 league record. way Conference President’s Council voted to add a FCS football division for six of its members to the previously all-women’s athletics organization. Founding members of the football division were Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, UNI, Southern Illinois, Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) and Western Illinois.

The creation of the football division marked the first time in college annals that football was added to a women’s conference. In June of 1986, Indiana State became the seventh member of the conference.

In the 25 years of the football division, league membership has been stable -- with only five fluctuations since 1986 Eastern Illinois left the league to join the Ohio Valley Conference in 1996, while Youngstown State joined the conference in 1997 to return league membership to its original seven-member status. League membership reached what was then an all-time high of eight members for the start of the 2001 season with the addition of Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers left the league after six years to join the Sun Belt (FBS) North Dakota State and South Dakota State joined for the start of the 2008 season, giving the league nine members for the first time.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference is among 10 FCS conferences that receive automatic bids to the NCAA FCS Championship.

The conference has had an automatic bid since 1986, as the FCS Football Committee waived the league’s two-year waiting period and granted the league an automatic bid after just one year.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference is the only automatic FCS qualifying conference that sponsors football as its only sport, as the league completed its service to women’s athlet-

ics following the 1991-92 season. Although the league no longer sponsors women’s sports, the league has an historical place in the development of intercollegiate women’s athletics.

The 10 founders of the original Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference currently belong to three conferences. Eight members joined their men’s programs in the Missouri Valley: Bradley, Drake, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, UNI, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State.

Eastern Illinois is now in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Western Illinois competes in The Summit League.

Members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (and initial year of membership) include: Illinois State University (1985), Indiana State University (1986), Missouri State University (1985), North Dakota State University (2008), the University of Northern Iowa (1985), South Dakota State University (2008), Southern Illinois University (1985), Western Illinois University (1985), and Youngstown State University (1997).

Five Missouri Valley Football Conference members also compete in the Missouri Valley Conference (Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, and Southern Illinois). Three league schools compete in The Summit League (North Dakota State, South Dakota State, and Western Illinois), while Youngstown State competes in the Horizon League for its other sports.

In its decade of operation, the Gateway sponsored championships in 10 women’s sports and football. The women’s sports were basketball, cross country, golf, indoor and outdoor track & field, swimming and diving, tennis, softball, volleyball and, early on, field hockey.

Jackrabbit Athletic Scholarship Endowment The opportunity to provide a gift to South Dakota State University athletics in your name or in the name of a loved one will truly make a difference in the lives of Jackrabbit student-athletes for years to come. Endowments help ensure the long-term sustainability of Jackrabbit Athletics and its programs. A pledge of $20,000 is needed to start an endowment.

Payments may be structured toward the endowment a number of different ways. Once the fund reaches the $20,000 mark, distributions from the fund are used to support scholarships for student-athletes of South Dakota State University.

For more information on giving opportunities, contact Mike Burgers, Associate Athletic Director for Development at (605) 697-7475 or by email at: mike.burgers@sdsufoundation.org.
