L i b e r t y B o w l M e m o r i a l S ta d i u m The University of Memphis football program is fortunate to have one of the finest facilities in the nation in which to play its home games. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, “built by the citizens of Memphis,” is a memorial to the veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The renovated 61,000-seat facility, built in 1965 at a cost of $3.7 million by the city of Memphis, is operated by the Memphis Park Services Department. The Tigers inaugurated the stadium in the fall of 1965 and in 48 years, have compiled a 146-135-7 record in the Liberty Bowl. The stadium features an AstroTurf® playing surface, spacious locker rooms and a four-level press box which features a VIP stadium club. The playing surface, which had been natural grass through the 2004 season, was replaced with a FieldTurf surface prior to the 2005 campaign. For the 2012 season, the surface changed to AstroTurf®, a surface used in several FBS collegiate and NFL stadiums. The field surface upgrade was part of major renovations to the stadium for 2012. The centerpiece of the 2012 renovations at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium was a $2.5 million video scoreboard and sound system. A generous donation provided by Fed Ex to the U of M paved the way for the video board/sound system upgrades. The south end zone features a 98x48-foot, state-of-theart video board with a sound system located on the sides of the structure. The speakers and cap/or crown of the scoreboard makes the structure’s actual size grow to 106 feet by 58 feet. According to available statistics, the board is one of the top-10 largest video boards in the nation. In 2012, the north end zone was updated with an LED board that is 38x10 feet in size. In addition to the $850,000 FieldTurf playing surface for the 2005 season, the Liberty Bowl underwent several aesthetic changes the last six years (2005-11) that made the stadium look more like the “Home of the Tigers.” Prior to the start of the 2006 season, Jim McDonald of McDonald Outdoor provided several large photo wraps on the walls of the stadium’s entrances to welcome Tigers fans. Graphics wraps were unveiled around the stadium’s interior in 2008, and a face-lift project for the stadium’s restrooms on the lower concourse was completed prior to the start of the season. A major renovation project took place at the Liberty Bowl prior to the start of the 2009 season when the Tigers and visitors’ locker rooms both underwent makeovers. The most notable change was the separation of the two locker rooms in the north tunnel. The Tigers’ locker room remained in the north tunnel, while the visitors’ locker room moved to the stadium’s south tunnel. Renovations in both 2009 and 2013 have brought the stadium into compliance with ADA specifications. The two separate renovations lowered the stadium’s capacity from 62,380 to 59,308. In the spring of 2010, the Memphis City Council approved a $15.7 million capital improvements budget to upgrade the grounds surrounding the Liberty Bowl. Included in the renovations was the construction of a grand entrance off East Parkway which City Council approved naming

State (2011) “Tiger Lane” in honor of the facility’s longest tenant — the University of Memphis. “Tiger Lane” officially opened Sept. 18, 2010, when Memphis hosted Middle Tennessee. Prior to the recent upgrades in the 2000s, the previous major renovation came in 1987 to a tune of $19.5 million. Included in the 1987 facelift were the addition of the skysuites located on the east side of the stadium, approximately 12,000 seats in the stands and a stadium club to accommodate donors. Other areas of the stadium also were vastly improved, including the lighting system, playing surface, handicap seating area, concession stands and restroom facilities. In December of 1983, city of Memphis officials named the playing surface Rex Dockery Field in honor of the late Tigers coach who was killed in a plane crash. The stadium also hosts the annual AutoZone Liberty Bowl Game, as well as the Southern Heritage Classic. In spring of 2011, the worldwide-known Memphis In May BBQ Contest was moved to “Tiger Lane” from Tom Lee Park on the Mississippi River as a result of flooding in that area. Throughout the 48-year history, several professional teams have called the Liberty Bowl home. In 1974, the Grizzlies of the World Football League played their only season in Memphis. From 1978-80, the stadium hosted the Memphis Rogues of the North American Soccer League, and later in 1984-85, the Showboats of the U.S. Football League (USFL). Three other professional football organizations spent one season in the Liberty Bowl, including the XFL’s Memphis Maniax (2001), the NFL’s Tennessee Oilers (1997) and the CFL’s Memphis Mad Dogs (1995). The largest crowd to witness a Tigers game at the Liberty Bowl was the record-setting 65,885 that attended Memphis’ 1996 stunning upset of No. 6 Tennessee. The Tigers defeated the Vols 21-17 before a CBS Sports regionally-televised audience. The entire nation, however, saw Memphis’ game-winning drive when CBS carried the final five minutes nationally. In 2004, Memphis hosted Louisville for a Thursday night ESPN broadcast. A crowd of 52,384 came out for the game, marking the largest Tigers crowd for a non-SEC opponent. That same season, Memphis set a home attendance record with an average of 41,175 fans per game (five games). The previous record was 40,622 in 2003 (seven games).

Listen to All Tigers Football Action on Newsradio 600 WREC In 2006, the University of Memphis began a new broadcasting agreement with Clear Channel Radio, making NewsRadio 600 WREC the flagship station for all Tigers football and men’s basketball games through the 2010-11 season. The contract was renewed in the summer of 2011 and runs through the 2015-16 season. NewsRadio 6000 WREC is in its 90th year covering the Mid-South region as the station Memphis turns to for news. The flagship allows Tigers games to be broadcast in HD Digital. The 600 WREC signal allows broadcast to be heard as far as Jonesboro to the north, Little Rock to the west, and Oxford to the south. Dave Woloshin returns as play-by-play commentator for his 17th season. Woloshin, a well-known sports figure in Memphis, is in his 28th year of being associated with the Tigers broadcast team. He began with Tigers television broadcasts in 1986, and for the last 16 years, has handled the radio broadcast for Memphis football and basketball. Woloshin came to Memphis as the sports anchor for WHBQ-TV 13 in 1981. He handled play-by-play duties for the Memphis River-Kings and the Memphis Americans, Storm and Rogues soccer teams. Woloshin also worked with broadcast teams for ESPN and SportsChannel America and numerous high school football games of the week. Woloshin is married to the former Gayle Stein of Memphis. The couple has four children: Nathan, Jacob, Brett and Brendan. Jarvis Greer, a well-known local television personality and former Tiger football letterman, begins his first season as analyst for Memphis football broadcasts. A native Memphian, Greer played for the Tigers during the tenure of head coach Richard Williamson playing defensive back as well as seeing action on special teams from 1977-78. The Christian Brothers High School graduate came to the Tigers in the spring of 1977 and by the start of the fall season had earned a scholarship and a spot at safety in the defensive secondary. The two-year letterwinner received his degree from then Memphis State University in Communications/Fine Arts and immediately began his 30-plus year career with WMCTV. Greer has served the local NBC affiliate as a reporter, photographer, editor, assignment ediotr and anchor. During his television career, he has received a Regional Emmy and is a three-time Best of Memphis Award winner for his “Friday Football Fever Show” covering prep football in the Mid-South. Greer was the 2012 recipient of the Billy J. Murphy Award. The honor is presented each year to a former University of Memphis student-athlete who has excelled in his chosen profession after graduation. Greer and his wife Emily, have two children, daughter McKenzie, a graduate of Memphis and a son, J.J., who is a senior member of the Memphis Tiger soccer team. Native Memphian Forrest Goodman is entering his 15th season as the pregame/postgame host for the Memphis football and basketball broadcasts. Goodman, who is the assistant program director for 600 WREC, also serves
as the host of the Justin Fuente and Josh Pastner radio callin shows. Prior to joining the Tigers broadcast team in 1999, Goodman was the play-by-play voice of all sports for Delta State University and also spent 10 years handling high school football play-by-play. Goodman and his wife, Michelle, have a daughter, Abigail, and reside in Bartlett. Matt Dillon will serve as the football sideline reporter for a ninth-straight season. Dillon, who is in his 40th year working in the sports industry, also serves as the co-host of the Memphis pregame and postgame shows for football and basketball games on 600 WREC. He has hosted the shows for the last 11 years. In addition to his football duties, Dillon has handled the color analyst spot for Memphis basketball radio broadcasts since 2002-03. The 1973 Memphis graduate began his long broadcast association with Tigers sports when he did playby-play for WKNO-TV from 1973-2001. In the 1980s, Dillon also served as an analyst on WMC and handled play-by-play duties on WPTY-TV for road contests. From 1995-2000, Dillon served in several capacities in broadcasting Tigers football and basketball, including hosting coaches shows in the late 1990s. Dillon and his wife, Marni, reside in Germantown. Jeff Brightwell, the “Voice of Tigers Baseball and Women’s Basketball,” serves as the broadcast team captain, handling the majority of the production and engineering duties. A 1996 Memphis graduate, Brightwell came to Memphis in 2003 after spending six years in Missouri. He has done play-by-play for Southeast Missouri State, Central Methodist College, Truman State, Moberly Community College and the Memphis RiverKings.

The American Athletic Conference’s new contract with ESPN will provide unprecedented exposure for its member institutions. Commissioner Michael Aresco announced the league had entered into a multiyear, wide-ranging television contract with ESPN to telecast its football, basketball and Olympic sports in mid-March of this year. The contract will run through 2019-20. The contract includes comprehensive national exposure via the acknowledged leader in college sports television, the ESPN networks. “I am delighted that the current Big East Conference, which will be renamed and rebranded, will be partnering with ESPN well into the future,” said Aresco at the time of the announcement. Since the announcement, the league has indeed been rebranded. “The extraordinary exposure provided by the ESPN networks will give viewers the opportunity to see the exciting competition and intense rivalries that will characterize our conference,” Aresco added. The current football contract with ESPN runs through the 2013 season. By 2014-15, football, basketball and Olympic sports will be under one agreement. The conference will retain marketing rights which will provide lucrative sponsorship opportunities. In football, the new contract will provide unprecedented national coverage for the league. In essence, the extensive national television coverage replaces previous syndication and local telecasts. All conference controlled games, which are conference games and non-conference home games, will be televised. Nearly 90 percent of the games will be carried on national broadcast or national cable. The minimum number of telecasts collectively on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU will be higher than the number of telecasts in the current contract, which expires at the end of the 2013 season. The conference championship game, which is expected to begin in 2015, will be carried by ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday. In men’s basketball, all conference controlled games will be televised. More than 63 percent of the games will be carried on national broadcast or national cable, which will be a minimum of 107 games. The entire conference postseason basketball tournament will be on national television. The championship game will be televised on ABC or ESPN. In women’s basketball, there is tremendous national and regional coverage. Nearly 60 games will be televised on national cable, regional sports networks and ESPN3, including the entire women’s basketball postseason tournament. Eighteen regular-season games will be televised nationally.

Tom Bowen N o t r e D a m e , 1983 Second Year
Tom Bowen took over as the University of Memphis Director of Athletics in June of 2012, and in only one year, he has the Tigers roaring into a new and exciting era. Bowen began his tenure with an athletics program poised to make a league move from Conference USA to the Big East. Despite the conference realignment carousel continuing to rotate nearly halfway into his first year, Bowen’s steady leadership helped Memphis become a charter member of The American Athletic Conference, which began its inaugural year July 1, 2013. The Memphis athletics leader played an integral role in the formation of The American Athletic Conference and was instrumental in
bringing the league’s first men’s basketball tournament to the Bluff City in March of 2014. In addition to guiding Memphis through the conference move, Bowen placed his stamp on Tigers athletics. One of his first missions was to evaluate and restructure the athletics department. Bowen also came in with a plan to increase the department’s fundraising efforts to assist with facility upgrades. Under his direction, the Elma Roane Fieldhouse — home to Memphis women’s basketball and volleyball — improvements were completed with a state-of-the-art weight room, a four-lane training track, an elevated cardio platform, a players lounge and an enlarged training room with Grimm Tubshydroponic pools for injury rehabilitation. In November of 2012, Bowen received a gift of $2.6 million on behalf of the department from the Helen and Jabie Hardin Charitable Trust to support women’s athletics. The first phase in using the generous gift is underway with the redesign of the track and field complex on the University’s Park Avenue campus. The second construction phase is set to begin in the near future and includes a clubhouse for the Tigers softball program at its stadium. The new softball clubhouse plans include coaches offices, meeting and recruiting rooms, indoor pitching and batting areas, athletic training room, equipment room and laundry room. In the competition arena, Bowen’s first year proved a rather successful one. After a tough start, the Tigers football squad rebounded to close the campaign with three-straight victories and finished the year with four league wins, the most since 2008. The men’s basketball squad posted the sixth 30-win season in school history, swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament third round. The men’s tennis squad won the program’s first Conference USA championship and received a second-consecutive NCAA Championships berth. The Tigers won their first NCAA Regional with an upset over Ole Miss and advanced to the program’s first NCAA Championships Sweet Sixteen. The women’s tennis team also made history with its first NCAA Championships appearance as a team. The men’s golf squad earned an NCAA Regional berth for a third-straight year. The track and field squads closed out the athletic year by sending a school-record nine student-athletes to the NCAA Outdoor Championships, with five earning All-America honors. In the classroom, Memphis continued its strong performance in Bowen’s first year. Memphis led the league with 228 student-athletes on the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and was second in the number of C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal recipients with 54. Memphis athletics also had a Conference USA-best four student-athletes receive the

Furthermore, Memphis athletics had four programs receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards for their exceptional Academic Progress Rate (APR). Prior to taking his current post, Bowen served as the athletics director at San Jose State University from 2004-12. While at San Jose State, the core of Bowen’s mission was building a “Culture of Champions” academically, athletically and in the community. He led the Spartan Foundation, the department’s fundraising component, through consistently challenging and uncertain economic conditions to unprecedented fiscal heights. The Spartans produced annual budget surpluses four-straight years and re-invested their gains back into their student-athletes and teams. In 2008, San Jose State was named as one of 12 Division I universities cited for Overall Excellence in Diversity in the most recent national study by Texas A&M University on behalf of the NCAA. Bowen’s proven administrative and managerial record at San Jose State resulted in national appointments in college athletics. He served as one of eight Football Bowl Subdivision directors of athletics on the 24-member NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, an appointment that ended in 2011. In 2009, Bowen was one of 12 named to serve as a mentor to aspiring women and ethnic minority athletics administrators in the NCAA Fellows Leadership Program. He was the Tournament Director for the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Division I Championship first and second rounds games played in San Jose. Bowen joined the staff at San Jose State after serving three years as the Director of Community Affairs and the executive director of the 49ers Foundation for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.

and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. The Stax Museum reopened on its original location at McLemore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of “Soulsville USA.” One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most-visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. Also located downtown is the beautiful Orpheum Theater, which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling Broadway shows, as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day. Ranked by The Sporting News as one of the “Top 50 Sports Cities In the Country,” the city of Memphis is a large metropolitan city with a hometown feel. From its big-city industry such as FedEx and the Memphis International Airport to its family recreation areas such as Shelby Farms and the Memphis Zoo, the city boasts all the amenities one would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town.

Considered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, has big city amenities with a small-town feel. Whether you are a hardcore sports enthusiast, a history buff, a music aficionado, or you just like to relax and watch as boats travel the Mississippi River, Memphis has something for everyone. Downtown Memphis has continued to grow and thrive, and two of the most visible projects have been the construction of AutoZone Park and FedExForum. AutoZone Park is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The Memphis Tigers baseball team also plays some of its more high-profile opponents in the top-notch facility. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-squarefoot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis, and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival, which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T.

Tigers Traditions When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But, it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tigers nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. For over 40 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis has been a Bengal Tiger named TOM. TOM attends all Tigers football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year. TOM travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer and always with a sheriff patrol escort. As one of only two universities in America with a live tiger mascot, The University of Memphis is unique in its tiger tradition. As a project of the Highland Hundred, no public or University funds are used to provide for TOM’s needs, and no University resources are required in his care. TOM is a powerful and majestic symbol of the University of Memphis, and his presence presents constant opportunities to educate Tigers fans young and old through the preservation of one of the world’s most recognizable endangered species. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred football boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM
to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on Nov. 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Ala. TOM II served his university with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on Oct. 15 of that year.

Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born Aug. 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on Nov. 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on Nov. 22 during a football game against the UCF. THE LOGO T. he University of Memphis’ official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. T. he original logo was an MSU with a leaping Tiger coming out from behind the letter. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.” SCHOOL COLORS T. he University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. T. he colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War.

The American and the Big 12 conferences partner for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York City. In the event that the Big 12 is unable to send an eligible team to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Notre Dame could step in as the American team’s opponent. An American representative will face either an opponent from the Southeastern Conference or the Conference USA champion as part of arrangements with the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis.

2013 Memphis Football Media Guide

Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence. With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2013 – its debut season – consists of 10 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Louisville, the University of Memphis, Rutgers University, Southern Methodist University, the University of South Florida and Temple University. In 2014-15, East Carolina University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa come aboard. The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only. The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, will immediately take a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in a combined five Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won eight NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995. Among the league’s 2013 members, seven of The American’s 10 football teams have been ranked in the top 13 in the BCS since 2006. Eight of the 10 teams have been in the BCS top 25 in that span. The 2013-14 membership will also include the most recent NCAA men’s basketball (Louisville) and women’s basketball (UConn) champions. The 2013 season will mark the final year of a six-year arrangement with ESPN that gives The American national exposure on ABC television and the ESPN family of networks. ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC will carry a minimum of 19 American home football games each season. Championship Week in December includes three American games on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. At least four American games are featured on ESPN’s Thursday-night package. In addition, ESPN Regional Television will continue to produce and distribute its Game of the Week package to a nationally syndicated audience, reaching more than 30 million homes. Most of these games also will be available as part of the ESPN GamePlan subscription service. Finally, a minimum of five home games will be carried on ESPNU. Following the 2013 football season, the American Athletic Conference enters new television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday. In men’s basketball, the new television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be either on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3. American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure, both in the coming season and beyond. In 2013-14, the league champion will receive an automatic bid for the final edition of the Bowl Championship Series, including a spot in the VIZIO National Championship Game if it is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the final BCS standings. Moving forward, The American champion would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. The American has additional partnerships with a number of bowl games that match conference teams

Head Coach
Justin Fuente In his first season as coach of the Tigers, Justin Fuente laid the groundwork for a University of Memphis football program which will take a step up in competition during his second year, the team’s first in the American Athletic Conference. While the Tigers posted their best finish since 2008 and won more conference games than the previous three seasons combined, Fuente began building a foundation in the months preceding his rookie season. One of the first items Fuente put in place upon being named the head football coach at the University of Memphis was “The Tiger Code.” The code consists of three elements – 1) Fundamentally Sound, 2) Physically Fit and 3) Mentally Tough. In addition to “The Tiger Code,” the University of Memphis football program under Fuente is being built on four pillars – 1) Academic Integrity, 2) Social Responsibility, 3) Individual Accountability and 4) Competitive Excellence. In addition to instilling the Tiger Code and installing a new off-season conditioning program, Fuente selected 10 student-athletes to form his first leadership council. The group best exemplified being student-athletes and living by the Tiger Code. During Fuente’s first season, the group of leaders served as a conduit between the coaching staff and the team. While breeding a new culture within the program, Fuente shared his vision for Memphis Football as a speaker for a variety of civic groups while also making the rounds on television morning shows and the area’s talk radio circuit. He and his staff conducted the school’s first Women’s Clinic in an effort to educate female fans as well as further build the program’s fan base. The University of Memphis will head into the 2013 season on a three-game win streak, tied for the 16th longest current win streak in FBS football to start the year. Memphis posted a 4-8 overall record and was 4-4 in league play in its final season as a member of Conference USA in 2012. The Tigers’ efforts last year did not go unrecognized. Athlon Sports’ College Football Preview Magazine had Fuente No. 5 in the publication’s ranking of new coaches from 2012. The Tigers averaged 318.33 yards of total offense during the 2012 season. The season total represented a 44-yard improvement from the 2011 season. Memphis came close to doubling its rushing average, improving its rushing total to 151.75 yards per game

in 2012. Memphis’ fourth-down efficiency percentage ranked among the Top 10 in FBS Football. Defensively, Memphis led Conference USA in total defense in league games played in 2012, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. UM lowered its total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent. For the year, Memphis ranked 48th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). The Tigers made a 69-position improvement from the 2011 season. The UM defense ranked 36th nationally in quarterback sacks, more than doubling the number of sacks it had in 2012 (29) from the 2011 season (14). The Tigers’ special teams also made striking improvements during Fuente’s first season. Memphis ranked among the nation’s Top 20 in kickoff return yardage defense and punt return average. UM punter Tom Hornsey ranked 19th nationally in punting. Six UM student-athletes were recognized as first or second-team All-Conference USA selections or named to the C-USA All-Freshman team. It was the most all-conference selections for the program since 2005 (eight). Fuente was named the 23rd head coach of the Tigers program on Dec. 8, 2011. He previously served five seasons on Gary Patterson’s staff at TCU from 2007-11. Fuente joined the TCU football coaching staff in February of 2007 as running backs coach and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in February of 2009. As part of his promotion, he moved to coaching the Horned Frogs quarterbacks. A native of Tulsa, Okla., the dynamic play-caller helped guide TCU’s program to consecutive BCS bowl game appearances with a 2011 Rose Bowl victory over No. 5-ranked Wisconsin that followed an appearance in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. From 2008-10, TCU was the only program in the country that finished in the top-10 in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls all three campaigns. In Fuente’s three seasons as offensive coordinator, TCU set single-season school records for touchdowns, points scored and first downs, while also ranking among the nation’s most productive offensive units. From 2009-11, the Horned Frogs won 36 of 39 contests, including a 24-game win streak in the Mountain West Conference (MWC). Credited with developing some of the top quarterbacks in TCU history, Fuente coached 2012 NFL Pro Bowl selection Andy Dalton and 2011 TCU starter Casey Pachall. TCU was the only school in the nation to have two different quarterbacks rank in the top-10 in the country in passing efficiency from 2009-11. Under Fuente’s tutelage, Dalton became TCU’s career leader in every major passing category. The 2011 NFL Draft second-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals also set Mountain West Conference all-time

In the 2003 New Orleans Bowl, Dickey’s squad suffered a 27-17 loss to Memphis at the Louisiana Superdome. The Mean Green also had a 7-5 mark in 2004. Under his direction, North Texas landed 70 players on All-Sun Belt Conference teams, including 39 first team selections. Dickey was named the head coach of the Sun Belt Conference’s 30th Anniversary Team in 2004. Dickey also guided the Mean Green to its first bowl win in 57 years when North Texas defeated Cincinnati in the 2002 New Orleans Bowl. Running back Kevin Galbreath was named the New Orleans Bowl MVP. North Texas produced back-to-back NCAA rushing leaders in Patrick Cobbs (2003) and Jamario Thomas (2004). Cobbs led the nation with 152.7 yards per game in 2003, and Thomas repeated the feat with 180.1 yards per contest in 2004. In his final season at North Texas, Dickey suffered a heart attack on Oct. 13, 2006, but missed just one game. In a nine-month span, Dickey had his gall bladder removed, was diagnosed with diabetes and suffered a heart attack.

Darrell Dickey is in his second stint as the University of Memphis offensive coordinator. Dickey, who served as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator from 1986-89, returned to the program in the same capacity in 2012. He also coaches the Tigers’ running backs. Last year, the Tigers’ offense raised its offensive total in conference games from 243 yards per game to 327.1 yards an outing (26 percent increase in yardage from 2011 to 2012). In C-USA games, Memphis raised its rushing offense total by 63 percent. Overall, the Tigers averaged 318.33 yards of total offense during Dickey’s first season back as offensive coordinator in 2012. The season total represented a 44-yard improvement from the 2011 season. Memphis ranked next to last nationally in rushing offense in 2011 but almost doubled its rushing average, improving its rushing total to 151.75 yards per game in 2012. The student-athletes Dickey mentored in 2012 included Brandon Hayes, a walkon who did not see playing time until the fourth game who went on to be selected the 2012 Isaac Bruce Offensive Player of the Year award winner. In Dickey’s first season at the University of Memphis, the Tigers posted a 4-4 mark in Conference USA play, winning more league games in 2012 than the previous three seasons combined. Memphis’ 4-8 overall record marked the team’s best finish since 2008. Dickey, who has over 25 years of collegiate coaching experience, was the co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Texas State in 2011. Texas State’s rushing attack averaged 195 yards a game and scored 20 of the team’s 35 offensive touchdowns. The Bobcats finished the season with a 6-6 record and averaged 345 yards of total offense. Against Southeastern Louisiana, Texas State logged 336 yards on 45 carries and three touchdowns. In seven of the 12 games in 2011, the Bobcats tallied at least 200 yards rushing, and the squad registered at least 40 carries in nine games. Dickey made his move to Texas State after spending two seasons as offensive coordinator and running backs coach at New Mexico. He also served as offensive coordinator at Utah State in 2007-08. During his tenure at New Mexico, Dickey helped install a new offense that featured Freshman All-America tight end Lucas Reed and some of the most talented newcomers in the Mountain West Conference. The newcomers included wide receiver Ty Kirk and running backs Demond Dennis and Kasey Carrier. While at Utah State, Dickey’s offense produced 1,653 rushing yards in 2008, the school’s highest total in nine seasons. In addition, Aggies signal-caller Diondre Borel was one of seven quarterbacks nationally to lead their respective teams in rushing and passing. Dickey went to Utah State after serving nine years as the North Texas head coach from 1998-2006. He guided the Mean Green to four-consecutive Sun Belt Conference (SBC) championships from 2001-04 with a combined league record of 25-1. Dickey’s overall record in SBC play was 29-11, including a 26-game conference win streak that stretched from 2001-05.

The Horned Frogs ranked fourth nationally in scoring (41.6 points per game), sixth in passing efficiency (166.9), 10th in rushing (247.4 yards per game) and 12th in total offense (476.9 yards per game). In his first season as co-offensive coordinator, Fuente helped direct a record-setting 2009 TCU attack. The Horned Frogs established then single-season school marks for points scored (498), total offense (5,937 yards), touchdowns (65) and first downs (311). TCU ranked fifth nationally in rushing offense (239.5 yards per game) and scoring (38.3 points per game), while placing seventh in total offense (456.7 yards per game) and eighth in passing efficiency (154.1). With Fuente as running backs coach in 2008, the Horned Frogs had a “running back-by-committee” attack. TCU ranked 12th nationally in rushing, despite not having a player ranked among the top-96 rushers in the country. TCU’s 220.2 yards per game rushing was its highest mark since 2000 when LaDainian Tomlinson keyed a Frogs ground game that averaged 275.6 yards per game. During that 2008 campaign, Fuente helped develop tailback Aaron Brown into being a 2009 NFL Draft sixth-round selection of the Detroit Lions. Fuente made the move to TCU after spending six seasons as quarterbacks coach at Illinois State. His final three years saw him double as the Redbirds offensive coordinator. Under Fuente’s direction, Illinois State ranked in the top-10 nationally in total offense in 2005 and 2006. The Redbirds ranked eighth in 2006 with an average of 397.5 yards per game, after ranking fifth in both total offense (477.6 yards) and scoring (39.2 points) in 2005. Fuente coached Redbirds quarterback Luke Drone to All-Gateway Conference first team honors, as he led the league in passing (227.8 yards per game) and total offense (231.6 yards per game). Running back Pierre Rembert set an Illinois State single-season record with 1,743 yards, while also ranking sixth nationally in rushing with 134.1 yards per contest. As a college quarterback, Fuente played two seasons (1996-97) at Oklahoma under then-Sooners offensive coordinator Dick Winder. Fuente set an Oklahoma freshman record with 11 touchdown passes. He transferred to Murray State for his final two years of eligibility. Fuente set 11 school records at Murray State, including total offense and passing yards in a game and season. In 1999, he was the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) Offensive Player of the Year and a Walter Payton Award finalist, given annually to the nation’s top player in Division I-AA. Fuente is a 1999 graduate of Murray State. Following his collegiate career, Fuente played professionally with the Oklahoma Wranglers in the Arena League. Fuente and his wife, Jenny, have three daughters, Cecilia, Caroline and Charlotte.

In Barry Odom’s first season as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator, Memphis led the league in total defense in conference games played in 2012, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. Memphis lowered its total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent. Odom joined the Memphis coaching staff as defensive coordinator in 2011 after spending nine years on the staff at his alma mater, Missouri (2003-11). In addition to serving as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator, Odom coaches the team’s safeties. In 2012, Memphis ranked 50th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). The Tigers made a 67-position improvement from the 2011 season when they ranked 117th with a 491.00 total defense average. Memphis’ 138-yard rushing defense total for the year ranked 32nd nationally. Memphis ranked last nationally in pass defense for the 2011 season but in Odom’s first season the Tigers made a 42-spot improvement, allowing 245.58 yards passing in 2012. Memphis also ranked 38th in quarterback sacks (29 total), more than doubling the number of sacks it had the previous season (14). In Odom’s first season at the University of Memphis, the Tigers posted a 4-4 mark in Conference USA play, winning more league games in 2012 than the previous three seasons combined. Memphis’ 4-8 overall record marked the team’s best finish since 2008. A valuable part of Missouri’s operations staff starting in 2003, Odom showed his versatility when he jumped into recruiting responsibilities in December of 2008 to fill the void when former assistant Dave Christensen left to become head coach at Wyoming after the Tigers’ 2008 Alamo Bowl victory.

Odom’s hard work and personable nature helped secure the signings of several in-state standouts, as well as getting a late commitment from Louisiana’s L’Damian Washington. He was also the lead recruiter on a handful of signees with Missouri’s 2010 recruiting class which was ranked 21st nationally by Rivals. com, the highest-ranked class in Tigers history. Under his guidance, senior strong safety Kenji Jackson developed into the unquestioned leader of the 2011 Tigers defense. Jackson ranked fourth on the team with a career-best 71 tackles and led Missouri with three interceptions on his way to earning All-Big 12 honorable mention accolades. The 2010 season saw the Tigers defense emerge as one of the most improved in the nation and the Big 12 Conference. Despite playing against high-scoring Big 12 offenses each week, the Tigers led the conference and ranked sixth nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 16.08 points per game. Additionally, thanks to the play of his safeties, Missouri ranked 11th nationally in pass efficiency defense, holding opposing quarterbacks to a 108.45 rating. Senior Jarrell Harrison emerged as a solid playmaker in 2010 under Odom’s direction, and for his efforts, Harrison earned All-Big 12 honorable mention distinction. In 2009, Odom oversaw the rapid development of junior college transfer Jasper Simmons into an instant impact player. Simmons earned All-Big 12 honorable mention recognition and also received votes for the Big 12 Conference’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year award. Simmons ended the year as the squad’s fourth-leading tackler (73 hits) and added two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and
an interception that sealed Missouri’s win over rival Iowa State. The 2008 season was Odom’s second as director of operations, after handling the duties of director of recruiting the previous two seasons (2006-07). Prior to the 2007 season, he added assistant athletics director to his title. Some of the many duties he performed in that role included overseeing the football budget, coordinating team travel, handling compliance issues, scheduling of facilities, assisting with recruiting operations and managing the program’s day-to-day overall operations. Odom also coordinated all public relations activities and community service events that required the presence of football student-athletes. He also oversaw all organizational aspects from a football perspective related to Missouri’s 2007 Cotton Bowl and 2008 Alamo Bowl trips. He served a key role on the design and planning team for Missouri’s $16 million expansion and renovation project of the Mizzou Athletics Training Complex, which is the state-of-the-art, day-to-day home of the Tigers program. Odom made the jump to the collegiate ranks in 2002 after spending three seasons at the high school level, including a successful two-year stint as head coach at Columbia’s (Mo.) Rock Bridge High School. A native of Ada, Okla., Odom was a four-year letterman at linebacker for Missouri from 199699, completing his career in the No. 5 spot on the school’s career tackles list with 362 stops. He was a key player on Tigers squads that went to bowl games in 1997 and 1998. Odom graduated from Missouri in December of 1999 and served as a Tiger Scholarship Fund development intern. In that role, he assisted with various fundraising projects while earning his master’s in education from Missouri. He returned to his home state of Oklahoma in July of 2000 to serve as an assistant coach for Ada High School, which finished the season as state runner-up. Odom moved back to Columbia in the spring of 2001 as head coach of Rock Bridge High School, and he quickly built the Bruins into a power. Rock Bridge went 6-4 and won the conference championship that fall. He followed with an 8-4 campaign in 2002 that saw Rock Bridge reach the state playoffs semifinal round. Odom and his wife, Tritia, have two sons, James Trump Odom and Garyt Robert. Defensive Line

Prior to taking the defensive coordinator role, Billings worked primarily with the Thundering Herd special teams. Marshall special teams led the nation in kick returns in 1991 and net punting in 1994 and 1996. Randy Moss, an NFL All-Pro receiver, led the nation in kick returns in 1996. Marshall won NCAA 1-AA national championships in 1991 and 1996. Billings began his collegiate coaching career as a Missouri graduate assistant under Warren Powers in 1983-84. The 1984 Tigers played in the Holiday Bowl. He moved on to Oklahoma as a graduate assistant coach under Barry Switzer for the 1985 and 1986 seasons. The Sooners played in the 1985 and 1986 Orange Bowls, winning the 1985 national championship. Billings returned to Missouri for the 1987-89 seasons under Woody Widenhofer, before his 10-year stint at Marshall. While in Huntington, Billings served under Jim Donnan (1990-95) and Bob Pruett (1996-99). A native of Honey Grove, Texas, Billings began his coaching career as secondary coach at Duncan (Okla.) High School in 1980. He served as head coach at Prairieland High School in Pattonville, Texas, in 1981 and was secondary coach at Norman (Okla.) High School in 1982 and 1983. A 1980 Southeastern Oklahoma State University graduate with a degree in physical education, Billings was an all-conference defensive back for the Savage Storm. Billings also played basketball for one season at Grayson County Junior College in Sherman, Texas. He and his wife, Lisa, have two children, Taylor Kay and Trenton Wade.

versatile coach worked with four different position groups during his six seasons with the Demon Deacons. Billings oversaw the Wake Forest wide receivers during the 2006 and 2007 seasons and then supervised the secondary in 2008 and 2009. He worked with the defensive ends in 2010 and coached the outside linebackers in the spring of 2011. The co-defensive coordinator at Wake Forest in 2011, Billings led Kyle Wilber to a strong showing at outside linebacker that season, as Wilber was the team’s second-leading tackler (70) and the squad’s sacks leader. Wilber was invited to participate in the East-West Shrine Game following his senior campaign. Wake Forest tied for second in the ACC Atlantic Division with a 5-3 league record in 2011 and defeated No. 22 Florida State, while also posting ACC road wins at Boston College and Duke. The Demon Deacons fell to Mississippi State in the 2011 Music City Bowl. Billings joined the Wake Forest staff in 2006 with experience as a head coach, coordinator and position coach on both sides of the ball. As an assistant coach at Wake Forest, Missouri, Oklahoma and Marshall, Billings was a part of three national championships, six conference titles, 10 bowl games and six Division I-AA playoff teams. Billings made an immediate impact on each position he coached at Wake Forest. In 2006, he turned Willie Idlette and Nate Morton into top-flight receivers during the Deacons’ march to the ACC championship. After moving to the secondary in 2008, Billings helped cornerback Alphonso Smith become the only unanimous All-ACC first team selection. The secondary helped in holding opponents to just 172.5 passing yards per game, the lowest average allowed by the Wake Forest defense in 15 years. Billings’ efforts were recognized nationally as he was named 2008 FootballScoop’s Secondary Coach of the Year. In his two years as the Deacons receivers coach, Billings re-energized the receiving corps. In 2007, he tutored Kenneth Moore, who caught an ACC and school-record 98 passes, earned All-ACC first team honors and was named the Meineke Car Care Bowl MVP after Wake Forest’s 24-10 win over Connecticut. Moore was selected in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Billings was responsible for a key decision in Wake Forest’s 2006 ACC championship campaign. It was his selfless idea to move Moore, the team’s leading receiver at the time, to tailback following a rash of injuries at that position. Billings was the head coach at Southeast Missouri in Cape Girardeau, Mo., for six years (2000-05), posting a 25-43 record. In 2002, Billings guided the Redhawks to an 8-4 record, the program’s best mark since 1969. He was named the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) Coach of the Year and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Region 3 Coach of the Year. Before taking over at Southeast Missouri, Billings spent 10 seasons as an assistant coach at Marshall from 1990-99. During his tenure, Marshall was the winningest program in college football, compiling a 114-25 record. Billings served as the Thundering Herd’s defensive coordinator during his final season in 1999. That year, Marshall completed a perfect 13-0 campaign and was ranked No. 10 in the final national polls. The Herd defense ranked second in Division I in scoring defense, allowing just 10.5 points per game. The Herd won Mid-American Conference (MAC) titles in each of Billings’ final three seasons at Marshall.

1996. The previous season (2003), Cornelsen was instrumental in the success of All-Gateway Conference first team receiver Dwayne Smith, who led the league in receptions and receiving yards per game. That 2003 campaign also saw the Redbirds offense rank first in the conference in total offense with 420 yards per outing. In 2007, Cornelsen moved to coaching quarterbacks and helped senior Luke Drone to an All-Gateway Conference season with 2,222 yards and 18 touchdowns. Cornelsen graduated from Missouri Southern State with a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 2000. With the Lions, Cornelsen became the first quarterback in the history of NCAA Division II football to pass for 4,000 yards and rush for 2,000 yards in a career. After graduation, Cornelsen served one-year student assistant stints with his alma mater and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. He worked as a graduate assistant at Northwest Missouri State (2001) and Oklahoma State prior to landing an assistant coaching position at Illinois State in 2003. He and wife, Jaimi, were married in the summer of 2011.
With Cornelsen’s guidance, quarterback Johnny Deaton passed for 2,520 yards and 26 touchdowns in 2011. In addition, receiver Trey McVay was an All-America first team pick after logging 82 receptions for 1,533 yards. McVay ranked second in NCAA Division II in receiving yards per game. He also set the all-time single season receiving yards total at NSU. A native of Texhoma, Okla., Cornelsen spent the 2008 season at Oklahoma State, where he worked with quarterbacks and special teams. The Cowboys finished the regular season with a 9-3 record and earned a berth in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. Cornelsen also spent the 2001-02 seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Oklahoma State, where he worked with quarterbacks and wide receivers. Cornelsen coached five seasons at Illinois State (2003-07), where Justin Fuente also served as an assistant from 2001-06. The Tigers offensive staff should be familiar with each other as Fuente, Cornelsen and Holmon Wiggins (2006-10 at ISU) all coached together in 2006 at Illinois State. Offensive line coach Vance Vice also was on the Redbirds staff from 2000-04. In his first four seasons at Illinois State, Cornelsen guided the receiving corps. He mentored Laurent Robinson, who was selected in the 2007 NFL Draft third round by the Atlanta Falcons. In 2005, the All-American rewrote the school and conference record books with 86 receptions for 1,465 yards. In the final game of the 2005 season, Robinson totaled 292 yards on 14 catches against Indiana State. The single-game yardage total set both league and school marks. Robinson went on to claim the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year Award and was a consensus All-America selection. In 2004, Cornelsen had three receivers post 30 or more catches each, the most by a Redbirds trio since

Galen Scott is in his fourth season as the linebackers coach at the University of Memphis. Scott previously worked with Justin Fuente at Illinois State from 2001-06 and remained with the Tigers staff when Fuente was given the reins of the Memphis program. This past season the Tigers posted a 4-8 overall record, the team’s best finish since 2008. The Tigers were 4-4 in Conference. Memphis led the league in total defense in conference games played in 2012, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. The Tigers lowered their total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent. For the year, Memphis ranked 50th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). Memphis’ 138yard rushing defense total for the year ranked 32nd nationally. Scott’s linebacker corps accounted for 6.5 of the team’s 29 quarterback sacks. The Tigers more than doubled their quarterback numbers from the previous season. Linebackers also accounted for 19.5 tackles for lost yardage and intercepted a pair of passes. In 2012, linebackers Charles Harris and Anthony Brown ranked first and second on the squad in total tackles (79 and 71 stops respectively). First-year linebacker Tank Jakes was named the John Bramlett Defensive Player of the Year following the 2012 season. Scott joined the Memphis staff ahead of the 2010 season and was elevated to co-defensive coordinator in September of 2011 while continuing to guide the linebackers. Under his tutelage, linebacker Terrence Thomas flourished in his senior season and led the 2011 Tigers defense with 106 tackles, including 72 solo stops. In addition, Akeem Davis, who worked at linebacker in nickel, was the squad’s second-leading tackler with 78 hits. Davis also led the squad in interceptions (3) and tied for the team lead in fumble recoveries (4) and forced fumbles (3).

Scott guided one of the most-successful linebackers in school history in 2010 when Jamon Hughes ranked third nationally with 147 tackles. Hughes was an All-Conference USA first team pick and was named the team’s MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. His 147 tackles were the fourth-most for a season, and his 21 stops against Southern Miss were the second-most for a game in school history. Scott joined the Tigers after two seasons at Tulsa (2008-09), where he worked with the cornerbacks in 2009. Under Scott’s guidance, James Lockett was a two-time All-C-USA honoree. In the 2008 season, Scott worked with outside linebackers and safeties. The 2008 Golden Hurricane squad finished the season with an 11-3 record and a 45-13 win over Ball State in the GMAC Bowl. Under Scott’s direction, Lockett was named to the 2008 AllC-USA second team, and Kenny Sims was an All-CUSA honorable mention pick. Prior to joining the Golden Hurricane staff, Scott served seven years at his alma mater, Illinois State (2001-07) and took on the role of defensive coordinator his last two seasons. In his first season as defensive coordinator in 2006, Scott directed a Redbirds defense that was the Gateway Conference’s No. 3 total defense and No. 2 scoring defense, allowing 19.7 points per game. In 2005, Scott was named the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division I-AA Assistant Coach of the Year. A native of Orlando, Fla., Scott is one of the most-decorated players to ever wear an Illinois State uniform. Until 2004, Scott owned the career tackles record, but his protégé, Boomer Grigsby, claimed the mark under his guidance. Scott helped mold Grigsby into an unprecedented three-time Gateway Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year performer and a consensus All-American. With the graduation of Grigsby after the 2004 campaign, Scott continued his trend of producing

He was named the SEC Special Teams Player of the Year and placed on the Coaches All-SEC first team. Also, under Shibest’s watch in 2007 was All-SEC second team placekicker Alex Tejada, who set the school’s season kick-scoring record with 108 points. The freshman finished the regular season connecting on 17-of-21 field goals, including a perfect 12-of-12 from 40 yards-and-in. Tejada’s 17 field goals in 2007 were the most by an Arkansas kicker since Todd Latourette in 1998. Tejada was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team and earned a spot on the Rivals.com All-SEC second team. In addition, Shibest’s tight end Andrew Davie caught three touchdown passes, and D.J. Williams was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. Under Shibest’s direction, wide receiver Marcus Monk earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors in

Recognized as one of college football’s premier special teams coaches. James Shibest is in his second season coordinating the Tigers’ special teams as well as coaching the squad’s tight ends. Last year the Tigers’ special teams led Conference USA and ranked nationally in several team statistical categories. Additionally, the Tigers had several standout individual performances on special teams. For the season, Memphis led Conference USA in kickoff coverage with a net average of 42.6 yards. Memphis ranked 18th nationally in kickoff return yardage defense (18.80 yards per return). The squad also led C-USA and ranked 20th nationally with a 12.0 punt return average. The Tigers’ punting unit ranked 25th nationally with a 38.93 net punting average. Individually, punter Tom Hornsey ranked 19th nationally in punting with a 43.43 average. Punt returner Keiwone Malone averaged 11.86 yards per punt return to rank 19th nationally. Handling kickoff return responsibilities, Bobby McCain set a single-game record with the highest kickoff return average in a game and averaged 25.8 yards per return to rank 24th nationally. Shibest’s first-year tight ends also made an impact. Freshman Alan Cross was the team’s leader in scoring receptions and finished the season with 23 catches for 301 yards and five scores. He was named to the All-Conference USA Freshman Team. Junior college transfer Jesse Milleson caught 10 passes for 98 yards and three touchdowns.

2012 than the previous three seasons combined. Memphis’ 4-8 overall record marked the team’s best finish since 2008. Prior to joining the Memphis staff, Shibest spent the previous four seasons at Ole Miss (2008-11). During his time at Ole Miss, Shibest’s special teams were highlighted by an NCAA statistical champion, four All-SEC honorees and two freshman award winners. He also tutored the top two kick returners in Ole Miss history in Mike Wallace and Jesse Grandy. In 2011, the Rebels ranked second nationally and led the SEC in punt returns, averaging 15.64 yards per return. Ole Miss also logged two touchdowns on punt returns in 2011. In addition, Tyler Campbell ranked 21st nationally in punting with an average of 43.57 yards per punt. The previous year, Shibest helped Campbell become the 2010 national punting champion with a 46.37-yard average. Campbell also was an All-SEC second team pick that season. In addition, Grandy ranked 10th in the NCAA in punt return average en route to All-SEC third team honors, and freshman Jeff Scott finished 20th in the nation in kick returns. Kickoff specialist Andrew Ritter’s 13 touchbacks were fourth-most in the SEC. Despite coaching a freshman-heavy group, Shibest’s unit ranked among the SEC’s best in 2009. Grandy finished second on the Ole Miss single-season chart with 746 kick-return yards and earned Freshman All-America second team accolades. Campbell, an SEC All-Freshman Team selection, ranked second in the conference and 14th in the nation in punting with a 44.0-yard average, while Ritter finished third in the league with 12 touchbacks, helping the Rebels rank fifth in the SEC in kickoff coverage. Placekicker Joshua Shene, the special teams’ lone senior in 2009, wrapped up his career at Ole Miss second in career scoring (310), field goals (57), field goal attempts (75), PAT made (139) and PAT attempted (142). Shene also became only the second Rebel in the program’s history to lead the team in scoring all four years. In his first season with the Rebels in 2008, Shibest was honored as the Special Teams Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop.com. With many of the same specialists returning from the previous year, Ole Miss significantly improved in every special teams category in the first year under Shibest. The Rebels jumped from 12th to third in kickoff coverage and from 11th to second in field goals in the SEC statistical rankings. Wallace, a All-SEC second team returner, shattered the school record for kick return yards in a game, season and career. He also ranked third in the SEC in kick return average (24.6). In addition, Marshay Green ranked sixth in punt return average in the SEC. Shene also garnered All-SEC kicker accolades, as he was a first team selection by the Associated Press and a second team pick by the league’s coaches. A Lou Groza Award semifinalist, Shene led the conference in field goal accuracy (81.0 pct.) and converted all 52 PAT. In one season under Shibest, the Rebels improved from 93rd nationally to 32nd in net punting and from 107th to 24th in punt coverage. Kickoff coverage improved 12 yards from the previous season and resulted in 10 touchbacks after recording none in 2007. Shibest was a member of Nutt’s Arkansas staff for eight seasons, where he coached special teams and had stints tutoring tight ends (2000-01, 2006-07) and receivers (2002-05).

A two-time Buck Buchanan Award finalist, Siskowic led the league in tackles in 2005 and 2006, giving the Redbirds and Scott the Gateway Conference leader in stops for five-straight seasons (2002-06). During Scott’s four-year playing career (19972000), he set Redbirds records for tackles in a game, season and career. He also helped Illinois State to its first Gateway Conference title (1999) and a pair of NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances (1998, 1999). Scott was named to four All-America teams and was only the fifth player in school history to earn All-America status in three different seasons. He also snagged All-Gateway Conference honors each of his four seasons and was a member of the 1997 All-Gateway Newcomer Team. An honor roll student at Illinois State, he set Redbirds tackles records for a game (27) and season (186). He was the first Illinois State player to exceed 500 career tackles, and his final figure was 109 more hits than the previous record holder, Wilbert Brown. Scott’s single-game mark (27 tackles) ranks No. 5 in Gateway Conference history and his season total (186) is No. 7 in the league’s annals. His career number ranks No. 3 in conference history.

Shibest also worked with punter Jeremy Davis, who was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team after averaging 39.2 yards on 25 punts. Despite the loss of two senior starters from 2003, Shibest helped Arkansas rank fifth in the SEC in passing offense in 2004 (210.5 ypg) with wideouts Monk, Steve Harris and Cedric Washington combining for 91 receptions, 1,470 yards and 11 touchdowns. Shibest’s Arkansas receiving corps had one of its most-productive seasons in recent history in 2003. Seniors George Wilson and Richard Smith combined for 80 receptions, 1,473 yards and 13 touchdowns. The duo ended their careers second (144) and fourth (135), respectively, on Arkansas’ all-time receptions list. Shibest helped Wilson finish the 2003 regular season ranked fifth in the SEC in receptions (3.85) and fourth in receiving yards (69.2) per game. With Shibest’s instruction, kicker Chris Balseiro made 11of-15 field goals, including a school bowl-record four in the Hogs’ 27-14 win over Missouri in the 2003 Independence Bowl. In 2002, Shibest worked with placekicker David Carlton, as he connected on 12of-16 field goals to finish tied for third in the SEC in percentage (75.0). Shibest also instructed punter Richie Butler, who finished his career ranked in the top-10 of every punting category in the Razorbacks record book. A 22-year coaching veteran, Shibest joined the Razorbacks staff in 2000 after a highly successful four-year stint as head coach at Butler County (Kan.) Community College. Shibest led the Grizzlies to a four-year record of 34-10 and back-to-back National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) championships in 1998 and 1999. He was named the NJCAA Coach of the Year both seasons, and he also earned Jayhawk Conference Coach of the Year honors in 1996 and 1998. During his tenure at Butler County, Shibest coached 19 NJCAA All-Americans and 34 NCAA Division I signees, including Jermaine Petty who earned All-America first team honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). Shibest led the Grizzlies to records of 7-4 in 1996, 4-5 in 1997, 12-0 in 1998 and 11-1 in 1999. Shibest began his career as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma State, coaching receivers in 1990 and running backs in 1991. In 1992, Shibest began his ascent through the junior college coaching ranks as offensive coordinator at Independence (Kan.) Community College. After coaching the Independence defensive secondary in 1993, Shibest embarked on a two-year tenure as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks/ receivers coach at Garden City (Kan.) Community College. There, he helped the Bronc Busters to a 10-1 record in 1994 and a 9-2 mark in 1995 with an offense that ranked sixth in the NJCAA. A native of Houston, Texas, Shibest was a prep All-America receiver at MacArthur High School, where he caught 79 passes for 1,337 yards and 17 touchdowns his final two seasons. Shibest had a standout collegiate career as a receiver at Arkansas, earning All-Southwest Conference honors in 1984 and 1986. He amassed a then school-record 1,920 receiving yards on 97 receptions, including 10 touchdowns. His career receiving yardage total still ranks fifth in the Arkansas record book. Shibest and his wife, Dianna, are the parents of James John III and Jordyn Grace.

Cornerbacks
C h r i s V a u gh n M u r r ay S tat e , 1998 Second Season
Chris Vaughn is in his second season serving as the University of Memphis’ cornerbacks coach. In his first season, Memphis led the league in total defense in conference games played, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. Memphis lowered its total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent. In 2012, Memphis ranked 50th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). The Tigers made a 67-position improvement from the 2011 season when they ranked 117th with a 491.00 total defense average. Memphis’ 138-yard rushing defense total for the year ranked 32nd nationally. Memphis ranked last nationally in pass defense for the 2011 season but in Vaughn’s first season the Tigers made a 42-spot improvement, allowing 245.58 yards passing in 2012. The Tigers posted a 4-4 mark in Conference USA play, winning more league games in 2012 than the previous three seasons combined. Memphis’ 4-8 overall record marked the team’s best finish since 2008. Prior to joining the Memphis staff, Vaughn spent the previous four seasons (2008-11) at Ole Miss where he directed the defensive backs and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. Vaughn’s time at Ole Miss was highlighted by a 2009 unit that was one of the nation’s toughest pass defenses. With corners Marshay Green and Cassius Vaughn, Ole Miss ranked No. 11 in pass efficiency defense and No. 15 in pass defense in the NCAA. Overall, the Rebels finished fourth in the SEC and 15th nationally in scoring defense (17.7 ppg) and fourth in the league and 21st nationally in total defense (314.7 ypg). After the season, Green and Vaughn signed NFL contracts with Arizona and Denver, respectively. In his first season with Ole Miss, Vaughn helped coach a Rebels defense that intercepted 16 passes which were eight more picks than the previous season. The unit also improved from 11th to fifth in scoring defense and from 12th to fifth in total defense in the SEC. During his first spring drills as cornerbacks coach at Ole Miss, he faced the immediate challenge of transforming Green, a wide receiver, into a cornerback, a position where the Rebels were short on personnel. Green entered the starting lineup in the third contest of the 2008 season and started 22 games his final two seasons. Under Vaughn’s watch, Green earned Defensive MVP honors in the 2009 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. The Ole Miss secondary limited Texas Tech All-American Michael Crabtree to just 30 receiving yards in that game. As recruiting coordinator, Vaughn helped assemble a 2009 signing class that Rivals.com ranked 18th in the nation. The website also named Vaughn one of the Top-25 Recruiters in the Country. The Rebels’ 2010 class earned even higher praise from Scout.com (No. 15), while the 2011 signing class dominated the state of Mississippi like none before had done, inking the state’s top-five recruits and eight of the “Dandy Dozen.” The class included a school-record four U.S. Army All-Americans. Vaughn participated in several programs for aspiring head coaches held by the NCAA, including

Prior to Utah State, Vice spent five seasons coaching the offensive line at Illinois State (2000-04). He was promoted to assistant head coach his final two seasons with the Redbirds. At Illinois State, three linemen earned All-America honors and eight garnered All-Gateway Conference accolades. In 2003, the Redbirds established a school record with 248.1 yards per game rushing and allowed just five sacks on 367 pass attempts. Vice started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Georgia from 1990-91, before working at Hart County (Ga.) High School from 1992-95. He returned to the collegiate level from 1996-98, coaching tight ends at Clemson.

In Vice’s initial season coaching the offensive line, Memphis raised its offensive yardage total in conference games 26 percent over the previous season. The Tigers averaged 327.1 yards per league game. Memphis raised its rushing offense total by 63 percent in C-USA games. Overall, the Tigers averaged 318.33 yards of total offense during Vice’s first year. The season total represented a 44-yard improvement from the 2011 season. Memphis ranked next to last nationally in rushing offense in 2011 but almost doubled its rushing average this season, improving its ground-game total to 151.75 yards per game in 2012. Memphis’ 71.43 fourth-down efficiency percentage ranked tied for seventh nationally. Only five teams converted on fourth down more times than the Tigers. Vice mentored offensive tackle Jordan Devey who received the DeAngelo Williams Most Valuable Player Award at season’s end.

Vice and head coach Justin Fuente have a long history together. Vice coached the offensive line at Murray State in 1999 when Fuente was a senior quarterback for the Racers, and the two also worked together on the offensive staff at Illinois State from 2001-04. Prior to joining the Memphis coaching staff, Vice spent the previous three seasons as the offensive line coach at Louisiana-Monroe (2009-11). Under Vice’s guidance, the Warhawks offensive line experienced unprecedented success since moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 1994. In two of the three seasons at Louisiana-Monroe, Vice’s offensive lines paved the way for over 20 rushing touchdowns and nearly 4,700 yards of total offense. The 392.3 total yards per game recorded in 2009 was the program’s highest offensive output since joining the FBS. Behind the Vice-led offensive line, the 2009 Warhawks rushed for a school Sun Belt (SBC)-era record 21 touchdowns. Louisiana-Monroe also set the school’s single-game, SBC-era record with five rushing touchdowns against Texas Southern. The Warhawks tallied the fifth-highest yards-per-game average (392.3) in school history and the program’s highest since moving to FBS. In 2009, Louisiana-Monroe finished the season ranked 28th in the NCAA in sacks allowed, yielding just 16. The Warhawks rushing attack averaged 183.9 yards per game in 2009, ranking third in the SBC and 31st nationally. Running back Frank Goodin finished the season with 1,126 yards and 13 touchdowns, the fourth and second-best marks, respectively, in Louisiana-Monroe history. Two of Vice’s linemen were named All-Louisiana for the first time in their careers. One of those linemen, Mitch Doyle, was named to the All-Louisiana Team as an offensive lineman after switching from tight end the previous spring. In the 2009 season opener versus Texas, the Warhawks offensive line did something that only two other teams had done in the previous 40 games, limiting the Longhorns defense to no sacks. The unit also paved the way for the Louisiana-Monroe ground game to run for 101 yards against Texas, which had allowed only 83.5 yards per game rushing the previous season (nation’s No. 3 rushing defense). Vice’s 2010 offensive line led the way for quarterback Kolton Browning to total 2,937 yards (2,552 passing/385 rushing), the third-highest yardage total by a freshman in the NCAA that season. The 2,937 total yards also were the second-most for a season in Louisiana-Monroe history. Vice, a 20-plus year coaching veteran, joined the Louisiana-Monroe staff after four seasons at Utah State (2005-08) in a similar role. He guided a pair of Utah State players that moved on to NFL careers. Guard Shawn Murphy was a 2008 NFL Draft fourthround pick by the Miami Dolphins, and Donald Penn was a 2005 free agent signee by the Minnesota Vikings and currently plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During Vice’s four seasons with the Aggies, four offensive linemen earned All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) honors, and Ryan Tonnemacher was a two-time Rimington Trophy Watch List nominee, awarded annually to the nation’s top center. Under Vice’s guidance, Murphy was invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game. He was the first Utah State player selected to the Shrine Game since 2002 and the first Aggies offensive lineman chosen to the all-star game since center Tim Ruiz in 1986.

and posted a plus-five turnover margin. Vaughn also helped coach a 2000 defensive unit which led the SEC and was 12th nationally in total defense, allowing only 292.1 yards per game. Vaughn began his Arkansas career as a graduate assistant in 1999, working with the defense. He helped direct a swarming defense that limited Texas to minus-27 yards rushing in a 27-6 Razorbacks victory in the 2000 Cotton Bowl. Vaughn landed his first full-time coaching position less than a week after the Cotton Bowl win over Texas when he was named Tulsa’s linebackers coach on Jan. 3, 2000. Vaughn’s tenure at Tulsa, however, lasted fewer than six weeks. When a full-time slot opened on the Razorbacks staff, Nutt lured Vaughn back to Fayetteville on Feb. 17, 2000, in time to prepare for spring practice. Vaughn earned four letters as a linebacker at Murray State. He was a member of Murray State teams that claimed back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) titles and made consecutive NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances in 1995 and 1996. Vaughn earned All-OVC honors as a senior in 1997, totaling 103 tackles, six sacks and 10 TFL. He earned his bachelor’s degree in advertising with a minor in art from Murray State in 1998. A native of Tallahassee, Fla., Vaughn was an allstate linebacker, state wrestling runner-up and 4A state weightlifting champion at Godby High School. He and his wife, Marquette, are the parents of Christopher Matthew Vaughn II, Cienna Marquette and Camryn McNeil.

In Holmon Wiggins’ first season as the Tigers’ wide receivers coach, the University of Memphis raised total offense production in conference games by 26 percent over the previous season. Memphis averaged 327.1 yards per game from 243 yards an outing the previous year. For the year, the Tigers averaged 313.33 yards of total offense during the 2012 season. The season total represented a 44-yard improvement from the 2011 season. Memphis’ 71.43 fourth-down efficiency percentage ranked tied for seventh nationally. Only five teams converted on fourth down more times than the Tigers. Memphis’ 4-8 record last year marked the program’s best finish since 2008. The Tigers won more conference games in 2012 than the previous three seasons combined, posting a 4-4 record in the program’s final season in Conference USA. For his second season Wiggins has all but one receiver returning but the lone loss is a big one. Departed senior Marcus Rucker led the Tigers in receiving in 2012. Still, UM has approximately 75 percent of its receptions and receiving yards returning for 2013. Wiggins joined the Memphis coaching staff from the University of Tulsa where he spent the 2011 season coach the team’s running backs. He helped the Golden Hurricane to an 8-4 overall record and a 7-1 Conference USA mark. Wiggins guided a trio of Tulsa running backs – Ja’Terian Douglas, Trey Watts and Alex Singleton – that combined for 2,006 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. Douglas was an All-C-USA second team selection, while Watts earned league honorable mention merits. In addition, H-back Willie Carter, who led Tulsa with 868 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, was an All-C-USA second team honoree. Fuente and Wiggins worked together during part of Wiggins’ five-year stint (2006-10) at Illinois State. Wiggins, who coached running backs, helped guide the Redbirds to a 9-4 record in his first year at the school, including a Football Championship Series (FCS) quarterfinal appearance and a No. 8 national ranking. Illinois State averaged 169 yards per game rushing in 2006, and Pierre Rembert rushed for a school-record 1,743 yards, receiving Associated Press (AP) All-America accolades. In his next season, Wiggins coached the Redbirds ground attack to average 199 yards per game, and had two running backs that combined for 1,742 of the team’s 2,194 rushing yards. For the first time in school history, three running backs rushed for more than 100 yards each in the same game (vs. Indiana State; Oct. 13, 2007). The 2008 season saw Illinois State total 197 yards per game rushing, with three running backs totaling 1,911 of the squad’s 2,169 yards. After averaging just 98 rushing yards in 2009, Illinois State jumped to over 130 yards per game in 2010. Before joining the staff at Illinois State, Wiggins was a student assistant for two seasons and a graduate assistant for one year at his alma mater, New Mexico. He worked primarily with the running backs in his student assistant role, before focusing on quarterbacks and wide receivers during his one year as a graduate assistant.

Liberty bowl Memorial Stadium September 1, 2012
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In its first game under head coach Justin Fuente, the Memphis Tigers fell to the UT Martin Skyhawks on a late field goal, 20-17. Heavy rain and storms passed over the stadium shortly after halftime, causing a 2:40 delay. Play would resume at 10:38 p.m. with the Tigers up 10-7 in the third quarter. UT Martin quickly moved down the field on its opening drive after a 52-yard rush by Jason McNair to the Memphis 11. The Skyhawks would later miss a field goal to keep the game scoreless. On the Tigers’ opening drive, a fumble at their own 28 gave the ball back to UT Martin. The Tigers defense held strong yet again, forcing another field goal by the Skyhawks. A bobbled ball on a 20-yard field goal attempt led to a failed conversion on a pass to Corey Rogers in the end zone. The Tigers took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter after a 3-yard run by Jerrell Rhodes to cap off a 12play, 97-yard drive. The series was the longest for the team since 2007 when the U of M had drives of 97 and 99 yards against UAB. Quarterback Jacob Karam completed his longest pass of the night with a 36yard throw to Alan Cross before giving the Tigers another first down after a 13-yard rush to the 3-yard line. The following play, running back Jerrell Rhodes gave Memphis its first touchdown of the season at the 5:43 mark in the first quarter. The Tigers defense continued to put pressure on the Skyhawk offense early on as junior Lonnie Ballentine intercepted a pass to give Memphis the ball
at the Skyhawk 34. A missed 36-yard field goal by the Tigers kept the score 7-0 with 2:46 left in the first quarter. UT Martin tied the game at the 7:02 mark in the second quarter with a 9-yard touchdown pass, capping a 97-yard drive that lasted 3:18. After both teams traded possessions to begin the second half, redshirt-freshman Tevin Jones partially blocked a UT Martin punt to give Memphis the ball at the Skyhawk 34. The Skyhawk defense continued to give the Tigers problems, causing another punt. On the Skyhawks’ ensuing possession, senior Akeem Davis would get the ball back for Memphis, forcing and recovering a fumble at the UT Martin 17. After failing to get a first down, kicker Paulo Henriques gave the Tigers their second lead of the game at 10-7 with a 33-yard FG at the 9:03 mark. Following the rain delay, UT Martin took its first lead of the game when D.J. McNeil scored on a fiveyard run to put the Skyhawks up 14-10 with 4:45 left in the third quarter. The following possession, Rhodes passed 100 yards on the night with a 9-yard gain to the UT Martin 48. Rhodes would finish with 106 yards on 24 attempts. In the fourth quarter, the Skyhawks missed their second field goal of the game with a 19-yard attempt going wide left to leave the score 14-10 in favor of UT
Martin. However, UTM would later add a 26-yard field goal with 5:35 left to increase their lead to 17-10 after an 11-play, 64-yard drive. With time running out, the Tigers stayed alive on a fourthand-12 as Karam completed an 18-yard pass to Keiwone Malone with 3:30 to play. A 7-yard pass to Marcus Rucker and two rushes by Karam advanced the Tigers all the way to the UT Martin 27 with 1:52 left. Memphis evened the game up at 17 when Rucker sliced through the Skyhawk defense for a 20-yard touchdown reception with 52 seconds remaining in the game. The Tigers would force a three-and-out before their third fumble of the game gave UT Martin the ball back at the Memphis 27 with 17 seconds to go. A 43-yard field goal with four seconds left would be good enough for the Skyhawks to pull out the win. UT Martin held an advantage in total yards (392359) and passing yards (211-157). The U of M totaled 202 yards on the ground compared to UT Martin’s 181. Karam finished the game 12-for-28 for 157 yards and one touchdown while Rucker led the team in receiving yards with 45 yards.

JONESBORO, Ark. — Arkansas State’s clutch offense proved too mighty for Memphis as the Red Wolves outgained the Tigers by 326 yards on their way to a 33-28 victory in front of the fourth-largest crowd ever at Liberty Bank Stadium. Memphis came out strong with running back Jerrell Rhodes giving the Tigers a first down after two rushes that totaled 11 yards. Quarterback Jacob Karam then completed a 19-yard pass to receiver Keiwone Malone to give the Tigers the ball in ASU territory. Two plays later, Rhodes blew by the Red Wolves defense with a 28-yard gain to give the Tigers possession inside the redzone. Memphis put themselves on the board first with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Alan Cross to complete a 7-play, 77-yard drive in 2:42. In ASU’s opening drive, the Red Wolves quickly got down the field with 36 yards from quarterback Ryan Aplin and 39 yards on the ground from four different rushers. The Tigers defense held the Red Wolves inside the redzone, forcing them to kick a 23-yard field goal making the score, 7-3, in favor of the Tigers with 8:15 remaining in the first quarter. The Tigers would own a 7-3 advantage after the first quarter. In the second quarter, Anthony Watson blocked an ASU punt, while Tevin Jones recovered the ball in the end zone to give the Tigers a 14-3 lead with 10:45 left in the half. ASU responded with its first touchdown of the game on the following possession with a
75-yard, 14-play drive, in 4:48 to cut into the Tigers lead at 14-10 with 5:56 remaining in the second quarter. Less than two minutes later, the Tigers answered with a 41-yard touchdown pass from Karam to Malone to put the Tigers up 11 with 3:46 left in the half. Malone finished the night with seven receptions for 90 yards, both career-highs. The ASU offense continued to heat up as Aplin completed a 42-yard pass to Josh Jarboe 28 seconds later to cut the Tigers lead to 21-17. After a Tigers punt, the ASU offense had 1:35 to try and take a lead into halftime. As time expired, ASU kicker Brian Davis missed a 38-yarder to keep the score at 21-17. In the third quarter, ASU took its first lead of the game after a 13-play, 89-yard drive that lasted 4:46 to go up 24-21 with 7:59 left in the third quarter. After a Tigers punt, an ASU fumble picked up by Wynton McManis in the corner of the end zone gave Memphis the lead back at 28-24 with 4:03 left in the third. With time winding down in the third, the Red Wolves made it down the field to the Memphis eight but were forced to kick a field goal to make the score 28-27.

Cunningham. Memphis answered with a 42-yard scoring drive to cut the MTSU lead to 27-17 at the half. Helped by a 55-yard kickoff return from Bobby McCain, Karam hooked up with Rucker for the second passing touchdown combination of the night, a 10-yard completion. Out of the halftime break, Memphis fumbled the kickoff return to give MTSU good field position. The Blue Raiders cashed in on their third fumble recovery of the day as a third-and-goal from the one was rushed in by Cunningham, resulting in a 34-17 lead. After forcing the Tigers’ offense to go three-and-out, MTSU converted in the goal line situation to cap off a nine-play, 63-yard scoring drive to lead 41-17.

three-and-out by the Tigers, Duke took advantage of the good field position as the Blue Devils extended its lead to 10 after a five-play, 29-yard drive with 3:40 remaining in the third. Renfree hooked up with Desmond Scott for a 16-yard touchdown pass. In the fourth quarter, Duke increased its lead with a 12-play, 73-yard drive that lasted 6:18 to make the score 31-14 with 10:27 to play. The Blue Devils would add another score with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Renfree to Vernon for a 38-14 lead. Duke held an advantage in yards (500-139) and first downs (29-8). Quarterback Jacob Karam was 13-of-22 on the night with 82 yards. For the special teams, McCain totaled 129 yards from three kickoff returns while Hornsey averaged 45.9 yards on eight punts in the game with three going more than 50 yards.

DURHAM, N.C. — In the schools’ first-ever meeting, Duke prevented the Memphis offense from getting in a rhythm Sas the Blue Devils handed the Tigers a 38-14 loss at Wallace Wade Stadium. Both teams threatened in the first quarter as Duke drove down the field before a fumble in the red zone gave the ball to the Tigers on their own 15 with 11:55 to play. After a Memphis punt, a Duke fumble on the return gave the ball back to the Tigers on the Duke 23 halfway through the first quarter. Duke’s defense stayed strong as the Tigers would be stopped just short of a first down at the Blue Devil 14 after an attempt on fourth-and-three. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Memphis special teams unit continued its impressive play in the early weeks of the season as junior Tom Hornsey’s punt was downed at the Duke 3 to put pressure on the Blue Devils offense. One play later, a Duke pass was intercepted by linebacker Wynton McManis for a Tigers touchdown with 14:46 remaining in the half. On the following drive, Duke quarterback Sean Renfree threw for 59 yards and Brandon Connette culminated the series with a 4-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 7-7 with just over 10 minutes to play in the first half.
Sophomore Bobby McCain helped the Tigers on the kickoff as he gave Memphis excellent field position with a 95-yard return to the Duke 5. McCain’s kickoff return was the longest by a Tiger since Kevin Cobb’s 95-yard return for a touchdown back in 1996 against Tennessee. On third-and-goal, the Tigers tacked on another score with a two-yard rush by redshirt freshman Tevin Jones for a 14-7 lead at the 9:17 mark in the second quarter. The Blue Devils would again answer. A 58-yard run by Duke’s Jela Duncan gave the Blue Devils the ball inside the Tigers 10-yard line. However, the Tigers defense stayed tough and held the Blue Devils to a field goal for a 14-10 score midway through the second quarter. After a three-and-out for the Tigers, Duke took its first lead of the game at the 4:01 mark in the second with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Renfree to Conner Vernon. The Blue Devils took a 17-14 lead into the locker room at halftime. In the third quarter, junior defensive lineman Johnnie Farms forced another Duke fumble, giving the Tigers the ball on their one-yard line. After a

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A stout defensive effort and 14-points in the third quarter lifted Memphis to a 1410 victory over Rice. Rice averaged 445 yards of offense and 30 points heading into the game, but Memphis held the Owls to 221 total yards and just a field goal offensively. Rice put up 104 rushing yards and 117 passing yards, the fewest yards allowed by Memphis since Nov. 22, 2008 against UCF. The 104 rushing yards allowed by the Memphis defense were the fewest since the 2011 season when Tulane had 82 yards, while the 117 passing yards was the fewest since Nicholls State had 47 passing yards on Sept. 20, 2008. After forcing Rice to a three-and-out to start the game, Memphis took over at its own 11-yard line. But on the Tigers’ first possession Rice defensive end Jared Williams forced a fumble at the 12-yard line that was scooped by cornerback Phillip Gaines for the touchdown. Memphis again fumbled away a possession later in the first quarter. After six plays and 30 yards gained, Jaquise Cook rushed for one yard, but lost control of the ball as he was going down. Rice took possession, but their drive stalled at the Memphis 42-yard line. The Tigers’ defense held Rice to 154 total yards in the first half, but the Owls added a 36-yard field goal with 10:34 to play in the half to hold a 10-0 half-
time lead. Memphis had just 97 yards of offense heading into intermission. Following a 17-minute weather delay around the halftime break, Memphis went three-and-out on its first drive, but a fumbled punt return gave the Tigers the ball at the Rice 27-yard line. The U of M went backwards on the possession and was forced to punt, but Tom Hornsey pinned Rice on their one-yard line. The Memphis defense forced Rice three-and-out and took over at the Owl 44-yard line. Seven plays later, the Tigers got on the board with a five-yard pass reception in the back of the endzone by Keiwone Malone. With Jacob Karam’s completion to Malone, Memphis cut the lead to 10-7 with 7:50 remaining in the third quarter. The Tigers kept the momentum on defense as three consecutive Owl passes fell incomplete. Rice elected to try a 53-yard field goal, but the kick by Chris Boswell came up short, giving Memphis the ball at the 36-yard line. With a chance to take the lead, the Tigers’ offense marched down the field with an eight-play, 64yard drive to take the 14-10 lead. Memphis rushed the ball four times on the drive for 53 yards and capped the drive with an 11-yard fake pass from
quarterback Eric Mathews to Alan Cross. Mathews’ touchdown pass was his first completion and first touchdown pass in his Memphis career. Rice started a potential go-ahead drive at their fouryard line with 3:55 to play. The Owls completed two passes to advance to the 20-yard line, but a sack by Martin Ifedi put Rice in a third-and-long situation. Rice was forced to punt it away and Memphis converted a fourth-and inches with a two-yard rush by Jai Steib to set up in the victory formation. Memphis won a C-USA opener for the fourth time since joining the league, its first conference win at home since 2009.

The Pirates, though, responded to Memphis’ tough second-quarter defense with an offensive explosion in the third period. Carden threw two more touchdowns - 11 yards to Hardy and 14 yards to Jones - and Harvey added a 45yard field goal for a 34-0 lead to break the contest open. Carden tossed his fifth touchdown pass of the game early in the fourth quarter. Karam paced the Memphis offense with 14-of-23 passing for 153 yards, and his top target was Rucker, who had seven catches for 88 yards. Memphis managed 281 total yards, while East Carolina had 369 total yards. The Tigers defense shut down the Pirates rushing game, allowing only 61 yards on the ground, and added six sacks. The Tigers’ six sacks were the most since a Sept. 27, 2008, contest versus Arkansas State. Cannon Smith led the Tigers defense with nine total stops, and Davis added eight total tackles and one sack. Martin Ifedi led the squad with 3.0 tackles for loss (18 yards) and 2.5 sacks (17 yards) to go along with five hits.

GREENVILLE, N.C. — Shane Carden passed for 308 yards and five touchdowns to lead East Carolina to a 41-7 victory over Conference USA East Rival Memphis before a Homecoming crowd of 45,137 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Carden was on target most of the contest, connecting on 25 of his 33 pass attempts. Justin Hardy and Justin Jones were Carden’s main targets. Hardy had six receptions for 137 yards and two scores, and Jones added five catches for 80 yards and three touchdowns. The Tigers offense got in a rhythm late in the game, resulting in a touchdown and another drive deep into Pirate territory. The Memphis scoring drive began early in the final quarter, and Tigers quarterback Jacob Karam directed a nine-play, 76-yard possession that culminated in a Jai Steib three-yard touchdown run. The score was the first of Steib’s Memphis career. Karam was 2-of-4 passing for 50 yards for the series, including a 44-yard connection with Marcus Rucker to open the possession. An Eric Mathews 12yard pass to Jesse Milleson on a 3rd-and-4 play from the Pirate 15 yard line kept the possession alive for the Tigers. The Tigers got in a hole early when East Carolina hit pay dirt on its first two possessions. On the fourth play of the game, Carden hit Hardy across the middle
around the Memphis 45-yard line, and the Pirate receiver out-raced the Tigers secondary to the end zone for a 7-0 ECU lead. After a Memphis punt, the Pirates scored on the their second possession when Carden hit Jones in the end zone from 39 yards out to increase the home team’s advantage to 14-0 with 7:30 left in the opening quarter. The scoring striking came after the Memphis defense pushed the Pirates back to a third-and-22 situation as the result of an Akeem Davis 10-yard sack. The Tigers’ best scoring chance early on came in the final five minutes of the first quarter. After a second Memphis punt gave East Carolina the ball on its own 20, Tigers defensive lineman Kendrick Golden forced a fumble on ECU’s first play from scrimmage, and Ricky Hunter recovered the loose ball at the Pirate 22. Memphis, though, was unable to move the ball, and Tyler Spurlock’s 37-yard field goal attempt missed right. In the second quarter, the Memphis defense held the Pirates to only 67 total yards and forced three ECU fumbles, but the Tigers managed to recover only one. The lone score in the quarter was a Warren Harvey 37-yard field goal to extend the East Carolina lead to 17-0 just before the half.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis turned the ball over three times and UCF scored on all three turnovers to earn a 35-17 victory over the Tiger. Memphis forced a three-and-out of the first UCF possession, but a nine-play, 81-yard drive netted the Knights a 7-0 lead with 7:05 left in the first quarter. Latavius Murray rushed for 71 yards during the scoring series and a 50-yard run around the right side keyed the score. Murray punched it in from one-yard on the ninth play for the score. The Tigers answered with a six-play 73-yard drive, but UCF forced a fumble inside the five-yard line to keep the U of M off the board. During the drive, Brandon Hayes carried for a 36-yard run and Jai Steib ran for 22 yards prior to the turnover. Steib finished with 88 rushing yards and Hayes added 83 yards on the ground. The Tigers rushed for 240 yards, the most since November 27, 2009 at Tulsa when the U of M rushed for 268 yards. Overall, Memphis finished with 361 total yards, the second-highest output of the first half of the season. UCF took over on their two-yard line and wasted no time in driving the length of the field to take a 14-0 lead with 3:45 remaining in the first quarter. After Murray rushed to the four, Blake Bortles completed a third down pass to Breshad Perriman for a 13-yard gain. Murray did the rest as he rushed up

the middle and down the right side of the field for the 83-yard touchdown. After piling up 97 rushing yards in the first quarter, Memphis continued the ground game with 21 more yards to set up a 34-yard field goal by Tyler Spurlock. Spurlock split the uprights with the kick and Memphis trailed 14-3 with 12:17 left in the first half. On the 13-play, 60-yard drive Steib had a 20-yard rush and a roughing the passer penalty rescued the Tigers on a thirdand-17 play. A defensive touchdown got Memphis right back in the game as Robert Steeples scooped up a UCF fumble and returned it 27 yards to cut the Knights’ lead to 14-10. Knights tailback Storm Johnson rushed to the right, tried to back up and go to the left side, but Mitch Huelsing tackled him for a 16-yard loss and forced the fumble. Memphis elected to run a fake punt midway through the third quarter as Tom Hornsey scampered for 21 yards to the left side on the fake. On the next play, quarterback Jacob Karam was intercepted on a pass inside the 10 yard line and UCF returned it to the 39. The Knights increased the lead to 21-10 with a six-play, 61-yard drive after the pick. A third Tiger turnover was costly as UCF picked up a fumble on the UCF 29-yard line and returned it

Bouye picked it up and took it to the endzone to give UCF a 28-10 advantage. Memphis missed a 44yard field goal with 11:24 remaining in regulation and UCF took over at their 27-yard line.

DALLAS — Memphis was unable to stop SMU late in the game as the Mustangs reeled off 28 unanswered points to record a 44-13 victory over the Tigers at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. After a three-and-out on its first possession of the game, SMU lit up the scoreboard on its following drive with a 39-yard field goal at the 6:25 mark of the first quarter. The field goal culminated a 9-play, 66-yard drive. The Mustang defense would then force a 52-yard Tom Hornsey punt, which was returned 59 yards by SMU’s Kenneth Acker to the Memphis 5. One play later, the Mustangs increased their lead with a rushing touchdown by Zach Line to go up 10-0 with 4:14 remaining in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, a Memphis fumble at the Tiger 18-yard line gave SMU excellent field position again, setting up a 30-yard field goal to give the Mustangs a 13-0 advantage at the end of the first quarter. After a 24-yard pass from Jacob Karam to a wideopen Alan Cross, Memphis put up its first points of the game with a 36-yard touchdown run by Brandon Hayes to cut the score to 13-7 with 10:41 remaining in the half. SMU marched down the field on the next possession, reaching the Memphis 5 before the Tigers defense pushed the Mustang offense back to the 15 to set up another field goal for SMU. With 5:40 left in the second quarter, SMU’s Chase Hover connected
on his third field goal for over 30 yards on the day to make it 16-7 SMU. After being forced to punt, Memphis got another chance to put more points on the board as Anthony Brown recovered a SMU fumble at the Mustang 34 with 1:59 on the clock. The Tigers gained seven yards before Paulo Henriques connected on a 45-yard field goal to cut the SMU lead to 16-10 heading into the break. Karam and Jai Steib led the charge for the Tigers to begin the second half before the SMU defense halted the Tigers at the Mustang 21-yard line. Memphis was forced to a field goal with Tyler Spurlock booting a 39-yarder to cut the SMU lead to 16-13 with 8:20 left in the third quarter. During SMU’s opening second half possession, Martin Ifedi showed his presence by sacking quarterback Garrett Gilbert for a 2-yard loss to begin the drive. The next play, Gilbert connected with Darius Johnson for 70 yards to give the Mustangs the ball on the Memphis 7. On third-and-goal, Gilbert gave the Mustangs a 23-13 lead with a 2-yard touchdown run at the 5:44 mark in the third quarter. SMU took control of the game in the fourth quarter as Gilbert added a 10-yard touchdown run with 10:57 remaining in the game to put the Mustangs up 30-13.

Joan C. Edwards Stadium November 3, 2012
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The Tigers’ “never-giveup” attitude was evident on the road despite a 3828 setback to Marshall. Before a crowd of 22,041 at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Memphis fought back from a 31-7 deficit midway in the third period and cut the Thundering Herd advantage to only three points at 31-28 with nearly 10 minutes left on the clock, but could get no closer. After Rakeem Cato tossed the third of his four touchdown passes with 7:39 left in the third quarter, Marshall held a seemingly commanding 31-7 advantage. The Tigers, however, were not done and began their march on the next possession. Memphis started the ensuing drive on its own 29 yard line, and the Tigers took 14 plays to hit pay dirt to cut the Marshall lead to 31-14. Memphis quarterback Jacob Karam accounted for 55 of the 71 yards on the drive, passing for 35 yards and rushing for 20. The possession culminated in a Karam one-yard touchdown toss to Jesse Milleson, his first scoring catch of the season. After the score, an unsportsmanlike penalty on Marshall moved the Tigers kickoff to midfield, and Memphis took advantage. The Tigers executed an onside kick to perfection and recovered it at the Marshall 39. Nine plays later, Memphis sliced the Herd lead to 31-21 on a Jai Steib two-yard touchdown run. Karam was 3-of-5 passing for 28 yards on the drive. The Memphis defense stepped up on Marshall’s next possession, forcing a three-and-out and a punt.

The Tigers took over on their own 35 yard line and used some additional trickery en route to another score. After a Herd sack on third down, Memphis was forced to send the punting unit on the field, and it looked as if the Tigers’ comeback efforts had ended. Memphis, though, pulled a fake punt on a 4th-and-10 when punter Tom Hornsey and defensive back Bobby McCain hooked up on a 61-yard connection that moved the Tigers inside the Marshall 5 yard line. Two plays later, Steib rushed to the Herd 1, where he fumbled the ball into the end zone. Luckily for Memphis, offensive lineman Jordan Devey fell on the loose ball for his first career touchdown. With the score, the Tigers cut the Marshall lead to 31-28 with just under 10 minutes left. Marshall, however, responded immediately to regain momentum. The Herd put together a seven-play, 75-yard drive to extend their lead back to double digits at 38-28. Cato hooked up with Davonte Allen for a 28-yard score, and the touchdown pass was Cato’s fourth of the contest. The Tigers attempted to answer the Marshall score on their next possession and moved the ball to the Herd 31 yard line, but turned the ball over on downs. In the first half, Marshall jumped out to an early 10-0 advantage in the first quarter. Cato threw the first of his four touchdowns, and Justin Haig kicked a 41-yard field Marshall Thundering Herd

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis used a balanced offensive attack and a scrappy defensive effort to get the Tigers’ seventh-straight win over Tulane, 37-23, at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. On the first play of the game, Lonnie Ballentine picked off his third pass of the season on a Green Wave trick play to give the Tigers the ball on their own 46. Looking at a fourth-and-three during Memphis’ first offensive series, the Tigers continued their fourth down dominance as Jacob Karam picked up a first down with a four-yard dash. The Tigers’ offense looked solid the rest of the drive with a 16-yard run by Brandon Hayes and a 15-yard touchdown pass from Karam to Jesse Milleson to put Memphis up 6-0 with 11:19 remaining in the first quarter. On Tulane’s next possession, quarterback Ryan Griffin was 7-of-8 through the air, engineering a drive that gave the Green Wave the lead at 7-6 with 6:12 left in the first quarter. After forcing the Tigers to a three-and-out, the Green Wave tacked on a 45-yard field goal by Cairo Santos right before the end of the opening period to take a 10-6 lead. Memphis responded a few minutes later with a 10-play, 75-yard drive capped off with a one-yard touchdown run by Jai Steib to put the Tigers up 13-10 with 12:05 remaining in the half.
On the Green Wave’s next drive, Santos answered again with a 43-yard field goal to tie it up at 13, with just more than eight minutes to go in the first half. Midway through the first half, Santos tied the game up once again for the Green Wave with a 30-yard field goal on a penalty-filled drive by both teams. On the Tigers’ following possession, Karam connected to Milleson for 23 yards before completing the team’s longest touchdown pass of the season, a 52-yarder to Tevin Jones to put Memphis up 23-16 with 7:34 left in the third quarter. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the Memphis defense stepped up big, holding Tulane on fourth-andgoal from the one-yard line to give the Tigers the ball back with a seven-point lead. Karam started the ensuing drive off for the Tigers with a 44-yard pass to Reggie Travis to get into Green Wave territory. The Tigers entered the redzone with a 19-yard completion from Karam to Alan Cross for a first-and-goal opportunity from the Tulane five yard line. A pass from Hayes to Travis gave the Tigers their largest lead of the game at 30-16 with 10 minutes to play. The 97-yard touchdown drive tied the longest of the

Legion Field November 17, 2012
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — From the opening kickoff, each of the three phases of the University of Memphis’ football game was clicking on all cylinders at Legion Field. The Tigers defense held UAB to three-and-outs on the Blazers’ opening two offensive series. The Tigers offense scored touchdowns on its first four offensive drives. Highlighting the Tigers’ special teams was a punt return unit which amassed over 100 yards in returns for just the fourth time in school history and also set up an early score by blocking a punt. The team effort resulted in a 46-9 road win at UAB. With the victory, Memphis won consecutive games for the first time since 2008. UAB’s first series ended with Tiger defensive lineman Terry Redden sacking Blazer quarterback Austin Brown for a six-yard loss. On the ensuing punt following the sack, UAB was flagged for a face mask penalty and the Tigers took possession near midfield. After running back Brandon Hayes was stopped for a one-yard loss, quarterback Jacob Karam completed back-to-back 12-yard passes to Marcus Rucker and Keiwone Malone. Jai Steib would later convert a third-and-four play with a 10-yard burst to the UAB 12. After Karam ran for five yards to the seven on second down, Hayes would find the end zone for his first of three touchdowns on the day, giving Memphis Memphis Tigers Rushing Brandon Hayes Jai Steib Carl Harris Jacob Karam Eric Mathews Team Totals Passing Jacob Karam Keiwone Malone Totals Receiving Marcus Rucker Alan Cross Jesse Milleson Keiwone Malone Brandon Hayes Jacob Karam Carl Harris Totals Punting Tom Hornsey Totals Punt Returns Keiwone Malone Reggis Ball Totals Kickoff Returns DeAndre Thompson Totals Interceptions Andrew Gaines Totals
a 7-0 lead with 8:54 left in the first quarter. Lonnie Ballentine would break up a UAB pass on third down of the Blazers’ second offensive series to force a punt. Memphis would take possession at the 30. Hayes would set the tone on the Tigers’ second drive with a 13-yard run then catch a 17-yard pass from Karam. Later in the drive Karam would hook up with Malone for a 30-yard touchdown pass. After the Blazers moved the yardsticks for the first time on their third series, Memphis’ defense held near midfield to force UAB to punt again. The return unit set the Tigers up in great field position as Reggis Ball blocked the punt and Kendrick Golden recovered the ball at the UAB 24. On first down, tight end Alan Cross was tackled for a one-yard loss on a pass reception. On second down, Cross sprinted down field and was able to snare a pass from Karam, diving into the end zone for the Tigers’ third touchdown of the first quarter and putting Memphis out in front 21-0 with 2:16 to play in the opening stanza. Memphis’ next offensive series, a 9-play, 75-yard drive, culminated with a 2-yard touchdown reception by Jesse Milleson who has now caught TD passes in each of the last three games.

Milleson began the scoring drive by catching a 21-yard pass from Karam and the Tigers converted two, third-down plays on the drive - a pass interference call on an incomplete pass play to Marcus Rucker with UM facing third-and-7 and a threeyard run by Brandon Hayes later on third-and-2. Paulo Henriques would kick a career-long 51-yard field goal in the third quarter to extend the Tigers’ lead to 31-3. Redden’s second sack of the game would lead to a Brown fumble that Akeem Davis recovered at the UAB 18. On first down, Malone tossed a throwback pass to Karam for 13 yards. Hayes would then find the end zone to give the Tigers a 37-3 lead. Malone’s 21-yard punt return helped set up a 46-yard touchdown run by Hayes later in the fourth quarter. Hayes finished the game with 19 carries for 127 yards.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The University of Memphis football team ended the 2012 season with their best offensive outing in 20 games, totaling nearly 450 yards of offense, to get their third-straight victory for the first time since 2008 and hand Southern Miss a 42-24 loss. USM got on the scoreboard first at the 8:06 mark with a 49-yard field goal by Corey Acosta after a fumble by the Tigers on a punt return. In Memphis’ first drive of the game, the Tigers would get inside the Southern Miss 30 before the Golden Eagles held the Tigers on a fourth-and-one pass from Jacob Karam to Marcus Rucker. After holding Southern Miss to a three-and-out on their next possession, Keiwone Malone returned a Peter Boehme punt 35 yards in to Golden Eagles’ territory at the 34. With the Tigers looking at a third-and-six to begin the second quarter, Karam gained 15 yards on the ground to give Memphis a first-and-goal at the USM 4. One play later, Jai Steib got his fifth rushing touchdown of the season to put Memphis up 7-3 with 14:21 remaining in the half. The Tigers defense continued to hold Southern Miss, getting the ball back to the offense less than two minutes later. The offense put together a 13play, 89-yard touchdown drive to go up 14-3 with a one-yard touchdown pass from Karam to Alan Cross. On USM’s next possession, Lonnie Ballentine would recover a fumble by USM quarterback Ar-
senio Favor when he was sacked by Akeem Davis, giving Memphis the ball at the USM 35 with 4:21 to go in the first half. After converting a fourthand-one, Jai Steib added 20 yards to his rushing total, including a 13-yard scamper into the endzone to give Memphis a 21-3 advantage with just over a minute remaining in the half. After Memphis was called for roughing the kicker on a USM punt, USM added a touchdown with four seconds left in the half with a 16-yard pass from Hall to Jalen Richard to cut the Tigers’ lead to 21-10 going into the half. Memphis began the second half strong, as Bakari Hollier returned the kickoff 37 yards to the USM 49. On the third play from scrimmage, Karam connected with Tevin Jones for 38 yards to put the Tigers inside the USM 10-yard line at the nine. One play later, Brandon Hayes gave Memphis its third rushing touchdown of the evening, putting Memphis up 28-10 a minute and a half into the third quarter. The Tigers defense held USM to its second three-and-out of the game on their next drive to get the ball back at their own 41. On the fourth play of the drive, Karam hit Cross for 38 yards to give Memphis a 35-10 lead just under ten minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Former University of Memphis place-kicker Joe Allison enjoyed a record-setting career and a brilliant season in 1992, but he never dreamed that, in doing so, he would receive the Lou Groza Award, which is presented to the nation’s top college kicker. Allison, a native of Atlanta, Ga., led the nation in field goals per game, average field goals made per game, and kick-scoring for the final nine weeks of the 1992 season. His 23-of-25 field goals made were the most in the nation, according to the NCAA, and his 92.0 percent made rated best among all kickers for the year. “I did not know about the Lou Groza Award until we played Tulsa in late October,” said Allison. “After the game, Bob Winn (Assistant Athletic Director/ Communications) came up to me in the locker room and said that I was a candidate for the award. I didn’t even know who Lou Groza was at the time. “As soon as we returned to campus, I looked up Mr. Groza’s statistics in the NFL record book, and I talked to Coach Armstrong (UM kicking coach) about his career with the Cleveland Browns.” Allison continued on his torrid streak of field goals made throughout the remainder of the ‘92 season. Week after week, his name appeared at the top of the NCAA statistics for kickers and a campaign was started to let sports writers and voters throughout the country know about Allison’s feats. For his accomplishments, Allison was named first team All-America by The Football News, The Football Writers Association, the Associated Press, United Press International, College and Pro Football Weekly and The Sporting News. He is Memphis’ first-ever first team All-American on the Associated Press squad and was named to more first team All-America squads in one year than any other Memphis football Tiger in the school’s history. Following the Thanksgiving holiday, Allison suffered an attack of appendicitis and had an emergency appendectomy. The surgery kept Allison from traveling to Hollywood, Calif., to appear on the Bob

Lou Groza Award
Joe Allison, standing with Lou Groza, was the first recipient of the prestigious Lou Groza Award.

Joe Allison is the third-leading scorer in school history with 263 points. He holds the school record for field goals in a season with 23 in 1992.
Hope Christmas Special, and it was while he was in the hospital recovering from his surgery that Allison learned that he had won the Lou Groza Award. “Mr. Winn called and told me that I had won the award and it made me feel a whole lot better,” Allison stated. “I was determined that I was going to get well and travel to Florida for the awards ceremony.” Allison did indeed recover from his surgery and, with the assistance of former head coach Chuck Stobart and kicking coach Murray Armstrong, traveled to West Palm Beach, Fla., to receive the first national award ever won by a Memphis player. The December 10th program was emceed by ABC sportscaster Curt Gowdy, and Baylor University head coach Grant Teaff was the guest speaker. In accepting the Lou Groza Award from “The Toe” himself, Allison credited his snapper and holder and the entire Tiger special teams unit. “Out of the 57 snaps during the season,” Allison said, “I was the only one who made a mistake. Chad (Williams) did not have a bad snap, Andy (McWilliams) did not have a bad hold, but I missed two field goals. I couldn’t have done it without their help.” The cousin of the late NASCAR driver Davey Allison, Joe booted 32-of-32 PATs in 1992 and finished with a then-school-record 90 consecutive PATs made for his career. He set the Memphis record for field goals made in a single season when he kicked his 17th of the year in the Tigers’ win over Tulsa in 1992, and ended the year with 23. For 30 years, the school scoring record for a single season had been 84 points by Dave Casinelli (1963). In 1992, Allison broke Casinelli’s record during the Ole Miss game and finished the season
with 101 points. He accounted for 35.2 percent of all of the Tigers’ points in 1992. Allison held the Memphis record for 50-yard field goals in a season with three in 1990 before Stephen Gostkowski booted three in 2005. He has; however, hit more 50-plus yard field goals than any other player in Tiger history with five. Allison ranks third all-time in scoring with 262 points and in PATs made with 109, and ranks second in field goals made with 51. He held the No. 1 spots until Gostkowski completed his four-year career in 2005 and claimed the top spot in those categories.

DeAngelo Williams
DeAngelo Williams came to the University of Memphis from nearby Wynne, Arkansas, and became one of the most decorated players in Tiger history. Named to several All-America teams during his career, Williams was a key factor in the Tigers going to three straight bowl games for the first time ever in school history. He rewrote the rushing section of the Tiger record book and finished his career with 6,026 yards and 55 rushing touchdowns on 969 carries. In addition, he caught five touchdowns and registered 723 receiving yards on 70 receptions. Williams played as a true freshman in 2002 and later was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. He went on to claim C-USA Offensive Player of the Year honors the other three seasons of his career. He was also touted for Heisman honors entering his senior season with the Tigers, and held true to the publicity ending his senior campaign ranked No. 1 nationally in rushing with an average of 178.55 yards per game. During his storied career, Williams set an NCAA record with 34 games of 100-plus yards rushing, and ranks fourth all-time in NCAA history in career rushing yards with 6,026. He also holds the NCAA record for career all-purpose yards with 7,573. In addition to multiple league honors, Williams also received various national awards and recognition. He was named to the prestigious Walter Camp All-America Team; was a finalist for the 2005 Doak Walker Award; and was the MVP of both the 2005 Motor City Bowl and the 2006 Senior Bowl to name a few. The speedy back was selected by the Carolina Panthers as the 27th pick of the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Williams had his jersey retired on Nov. 5, 2006 when the Tigers hosted Southern Miss.

Dave Casinelli, who was Memphis’ all-time leading rusher until DeAngelo Williams took the record book by storm, was recruited to Memphis in 1960 from Follansbee, W.Va., where he received all-America honors as a senior in high school. Casinelli played at Memphis from 1960-63 and ended his career by leading the nation in rushing and scoring, while guiding the Tigers to an undefeated season in 1963. During his first year as a starter, Casinelli led Memphis in rushing with 646 yards on 117 carries. His nine touchdowns in 1961 also led the Tigers. As a junior, “The Bull” gained 826 yards on 173 attempts while scoring 11 touchdowns. In his record-breaking senior year, Casinelli became the first Tiger to rush for 1,000 yards in a single-season when he tal-
Harry Schuh became the fifth football player in Tiger history to have his jersey retired at the U of M. From 1962-64, Schuh was one of the most dominant offensive linemen in all of college football. The Pennsylvania native started for Coach Billy J. Murphy’s Tigers and helped his team to a threeyear record of 22-5-1. By the conclusion of his senior season, Schuh had become the most decorated football player in school history. He was named to 11 All-America teams, including The Sporting News, Associated Press, United Press and the Football Coaches Association teams. Following his collegiate career, Schuh was taken by the Oakland Raiders as the second player selected in the 1965 Draft, behind Alabama quarterback Joe Namath.

History
Charles Greenhill was called the “most talented football player ever to come out of Memphis, Tennessee.” The multi-talented Greenhill prepped at Frayser High School, where he lettered for three years in football, basketball and track. He played for the Tigers just one year (1983) before being killed in a plane crash with former head coach Rex Dockery and offensive coordinator Chris Faros. A defensive back, Greenhill had 20 tackles that season, including 13 solo stops. Greenhill was also a dandy return man for the Tigers. The 6-2 speedster returned a kickoff 69 yards for a touchdown against Cincinnati and went on to average 29.8 yards per return. Following his death, Firestone Stadium, which was the home field for Frayser High, was renamed Charles Greenhill Stadium.

Isaac Bruce came to the Memphis football team as a wide receiver in 1992. The junior college transfer made an immediate impact with the Tigers. Coupled with junior college quarterback Steve Matthews, Bruce helped give the U of M one of the nation’s top passing attacks. He started all 11 games as a junior and was the team’s second-leading receiver with 39 catches for 532 yards and five touchdowns. However, it was the 1993 campaign that caught the attention of pro scouts. The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., native opened the 1993 season with seven catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the Tigers’ win over Mississippi State. He added 147 yards against East Carolina, 109 in a contest against Arkansas State, 108 in the Tulsa game and had over 90 yards receiving in five additional contests. Bruce finished the 1993 season with a school-record 74 catches for 1,054 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 74 catches and 1,054 yards remain Memphis football records and his 10 touchdown receptions is fourth. Bruce was drafted in the second round by the St. Louis Rams in 1994. He played 14 seasons for the Rams and was signed by the San Francisco 49ers in 2008. He retired following the 2009 season, and In 16 years in the NFL, Bruce amassed 15,208 receiving yards and 91 touchdowns on 1,024 receptions. Bruce’s Memphis jersey was retired in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Field on October 4, 2003.

Burley Bowl • 1956 Memphis State College East Tennessee State

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — In November of 1956, Memphis State College received its second bowl bid in school history, but this time University officials accepted the invitation and the team traveled to East Tennessee to participate in its first post-season event. In 1938, the Tigers received an invitation to play in the Prune Bowl in California and asked bowl officials for a financial guarantee to help cover the cost of transporting the squad across country. When the guarantee did not come through, Memphis opted to stay home. In November of 1956, the Memphis squad finished the season with a record of 4-4-1 under head coach Ralph Hatley. Andy Nelson and Cotton Clifford served as team captains that year and helped Memphis to victories in two of the final three games of the season. During that three-week span, the Tigers had back-to-back shutouts, defeating Western Kentucky 42-0 and Arkansas State 34-0. November 22 was a cold and blustery day in Johnson City, Tenn. Not suited for football or any other outdoor event, the day was highlighted by a light snow fall and spitting rain and sleet. East Tennessee State College tallied the game’s first points on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Howard Tippett to halfback Bob Lindsey during the first period. The point after failed, as did most that day, and the Buccaneers led 6-0. The Tigers answered the ETSC score before the first quarter ended. Bob Schmidt blasted into the end

zone from two yards out and following the missed PAT by Memphis, the score was tied 6-6. Neither team could do much to defeat the weather the remainder of the first half, although the Tigers penetrated several times into Buccaneer territory in the second quarter. Memphis even moved down to the East Tennessee State 1-yard line before a fumble halted the drive. The first half ended with the score knotted at 6-all. It was not until the second half that the Tigers got their offense going. After being held to 6-all in the first half by a battling bunch of Buccaneers, Memphis shook off the effects of the biting cold weather conditions and took charge of the Burley Bowl – which was witnessed by 700 fans on a frigid Thanksgiving afternoon – in the third quarter. The Tigers punched across three touchdowns in that third period to take control of the contest en route to the program’s first ever postseason bowl victory. The first time Memphis received the ball in the third quarter, fullback Bobby Brooks sprinted right up the middle, veered to the left and went 45 yards for a touchdown. And before that decisive period ended, the Tigers also scored on a one-yard plunge by Eddie Gebara and a 64-yard screen pass from Bubba Leonard to Gebara. Andy Nelson took a pitchout four yards for the final Memphis touchdown in the opening minutes of the fourth period. Leonard converted the PATs after the third and fourth touchdowns. East Tennessee’s last touchdown came midway in the fourth period when quarterback Joe Dixon ran in from one yard out. The Tigers ended the season with a 5-4-1 record, while East Tennessee State College dropped to 4-5 on the season.

PASADENA, Calif. — A hard-nosed defense that caused numerous San Jose State mistakes and an explosive offense that capitalized on those miscues led the Tigers to a 28-9 Pasadena Bowl rout over San Jose State before a sparse crowd of 15,244 in the Rose Bowl. Memphis State, making its first major bowl appearance, trailed 3-0 early in the opening period until a blocked punt by Tom Carlsen, who was named the defensive player of the game, gave the Tigers a lead they would never relinquish. The Tigers received the opening kickoff, and failing to move the ball, were forced to punt from their own 26-yard line. The Spartans drove the ball 19 yards and attempted a 42-yard field goal that fell short and was returned by the Tigers. Following another failed drive, San Jose moved the ball to the Memphis 16-yard line before kicker Larry Barnes connected on a 33-yard field goal. It would be the only time that San Jose State would hold a lead in the game. With 50 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Trojan punter John McMillan stood at his 15-yard line. Tiger defensive back Tom Carlsen blocked McMillen’s punt and fell on the loose ball in the end zone for the score. Hal McGeorge added the point after, and Memphis had the lead 7-3. The Tiger defense gained an air of confidence and stopped San Jose State on the ensuing series. Following a short Trojan punt, the Tigers took over at midfield. With quarterback Al Harvey leading the offensive attack, the Tigers moved into scoring position. A 13-yard pass from Harvey to Dornell Harris, who was named the offensive player of the game, and runs by Harvey, Skeeter Gowen and Paul Wilson set up the Tigers at the 9-yard line. Harvey went the final nine yards on a run around right end. The 65-yard drive early in the second period gave Memphis a 14-3 lead at intermission. The Tigers kicked off to begin the second half. San Jose State couldn’t move but got a second chance when Gowen fumbled on Memphis’ first
offensive play. Bill Brown recovered on the Tiger 24 and a 14-3 Memphis lead looked very precarious. The Spartans moved all the way to the Tiger 2-yard line. But on fourth down, the Tiger defense buckled down by meeting running back Joe Hicks at the line of scrimmage and slamming him to the Rose Bowl turf to end San Jose’s only real threat. The third period featured strong defensive play by both teams and when the quarter came to an end, the score remained 14-3 in favor of the Tigers. The final stanza opened with San Jose in control of the ball, but an interception and 27-yard return by the Tigers’ David Johnson, his second of the game, put the ball at the Spartans’ 18-yard line. Memphis tailback Gowen wasted no time in increasing the Memphis lead as he raced 18 yards to the end zone on the first play from scrimmage. The scoreboard read 21-3 in favor of the Tigers. Lightning struck immediately for Memphis. On the Spartans’ first play following the Tiger score, back Larry Lloyd fumbled and Memphis’ Carl Taylor recovered. Five plays later, Tiger fullback Clifton Taylor punched the ball in from the 1-yard line and Tiger fans rejoiced with a 28-3 lead and just 10 minutes remaining to play. Frustration mounted for San Jose State as the Memphis defense continued its strong play. Forced to pass the ball with time running out, Tiger cornerback Walter Daggett picked off the Tigers’ fourth interception of the afternoon to halt yet another Trojan drive. San Jose’s only touchdown was set up when a pass from center sailed over punter John Kidwell’s head and was recovered at the Memphis 20-yard line. A quarterback keeper by Brad Metheany with 36 seconds left in the contest got the Spartans their only touchdown. The extra point attempt was wide to the left. The victory over San Jose State marked the second bowl win for the Tigers in school history. The game also marked the end of an era in Tiger football history. Head coach Billy J. Murphy stepped down from his coaching position following the bowl win and dedicated his time to being the University’s athletic director. The former Marine compiled a record of 91-44-1 over his 14 seasons as head coach at Memphis.

Louisiana Superdome (69,767) December 16, 2003
NEW ORLEANS, La. — The nation’s longest bowl drought of 32 years ended in a big way for the University of Memphis. The Tigers, which had not participated in a bowl game since 1971, received a bid to the 2003 New Orleans Bowl to face Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas after a stellar 8-4 season. The city of Memphis was electrified. Excitement abounded and Tiger faithful began buying tickets and preparing for the trip to the “Big Easy.” Playing in the first bowl game of the 2003 postseason and before a national television audience on ESPN, the Tigers were challenged to stop the nation’s top running back in Patrick Cobbs of UNT. And Memphis would have to succeed without the services of its top tailback, DeAngelo Williams. Following three days of fun and practice, game day finally arrived on December 16. Memphis won the coin toss and deferred until the second half, giving the Mean Green the ball. UNT gave the ball to Cobbs six times on the opening drive, but were forced to call on kicker Nick Bazaldua when the drive stalled at the Tiger 30-yard

line. Bazaldua booted a 47-yard field goal for the UNT 3-0 lead. But this night belonged to the bowl-hungry Tigers and the North Texas lead was short-lived. After U of M receiver Chris Kelley returned the kickoff to the Memphis 34-yard line, junior quarterback and New Orleans native Danny Wimprine took over. When rushes by Darron White and Derron Parquet failed to gain yardage, Wimprine went up top and connected with wideout Darren Garcia for 63 yards to the UNT 6-yard line. Three plays later, Wimprine kept the ball and raced seven yards into the end zone for the go-ahead score. The Tiger defense, having had a taste of the North Texas offense, returned to the field determined to shut down the Mean Green. Three plays later, punter Brad Kadlubar kicked the ball back to the Tigers. But possible disaster struck on the Tigers’ next possession as tailback Parquet was knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury. Memphis was forced to put the ball in the hands of walk-on back LaKendus Cole to win the game. Midway through the second quarter, North Texas was forced to punt and the Memphis offense got the ball at the Memphis 24. Powered by the running of Cole and the passing of Wimprine, the Tigers drove the ball to the UNT 10-yard line before Wimprine found Kelley in the end zone for the team’s second score of the game. Stephen Gostkowski added the extra point, and the Tiger lead was 14-3. Lightning soon struck again. On the ensuing kickoff, Memphis’ Shaka Hill stripped the ball from returner Kevin Moore and Cato Mott recovered at the UNT 8-yard line. After three plays, Gostkowski was called on and connected on a 21-yard field goal. The Tigers went to the locker room with a 17-3 halftime lead. The third stanza of the game became a defensive battle, and both teams were unable to move the ball until the two-minute mark. The Mean Green, starting near midfield, marched 58 yards in six plays with Cobbs going the final 35 yards for their first touchdown of the night. Suddenly the score read Memphis 17, North Texas 10 as the third quarter ended. With 12:28 left in the contest, Memphis regained the ball at its own 38-yard line. Wimprine hit receiver Darron White for 20 yards, and fullback Robert Douglas gained three on his first carry of the game. After a facemask penalty against UNT, Cole had gains of two yards and 14 yards to the Mean Green 5-yard line. On second-and-goal, the
sophomore from Houston High in Memphis burst up the middle for the touchdown and a 24-10 lead. It was Cole’s first collegiate touchdown and gave Memphis an insurmountable lead. North Texas fought hard, and with 2:26 left in the game, scored again on Cobb’s run of two yards. But the Tigers immediately pushed the Mean Green down field for another score. This one iced the victory that had been so long awaited. With Cole gaining yards on the ground and Wimprine connecting with receivers Mario Pratcher and John Doucette, Memphis moved within field goal range, and Gostkowski brought on the celebration with a 42-yard kick. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the players gave head coach Tommy West the traditional cooler bath and then carried their coach onto the field on their shoulders. New Orleans Bowl director Ron Maestri presented the Tigers the championship trophy at midfield, and Wimprine was named the game’s MVP. LaKendus Cole was presented the game ball by Coach West after rushing for 62 yards and one score in a reserve role. Memphis completed the 2003 season with a record of 9-4, marking the best finish by a Tiger team since the 1963 season.

The Falcons scored the lone touchdown in the third quarter -- Jacob’s fifth touchdown pass -- and added 10 points in the final quarter before Memphis’ last score with under five minutes to play for the 52-35 final. Tim Goodwell finished the game with 10 total tackles (five solo), two TFL and a quarterback sack to lead the Tiger defense. Jovon Burkes led the Bowling Green defense with 11 hits (six solo) and two TFL. Wimprine went over 10,000 yards passing and finished his career with nearly every Tiger passing record. The Tiger quarterback tops the Memphis record book for career passing yards (10,215), completions (808), attempts (1,469) and touchdowns (81). Before his third quarter injury, Williams went over 4,000 career rushing yards. The 100-yard GMAC Bowl performance was the 24th 100-yard rushing game of his career.

MOBILE, Ala. — In an aerial battle before a raindrenched 29,500 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Memphis’ Danny Wimprine and Bowling Green’s Omar Jacobs put on a show for the ESPN national television audience. In the end, Jacobs won the shootout in leading the Falcons to a high-scoring 52-35 GMAC Bowl victory over the Tigers. Jacobs, the GMAC Bowl MVP, connected on 26of-44 passes for 365 yards and five touchdowns. Not to be outdone, Wimprine was just as impressive. The Tigers’ senior quarterback was 26-of-39 passing for
324 yards and four touchdowns. Each signal-caller had one interception. Wimprine and Jacobs received help from each team’s running game. For the Tigers, DeAngelo Williams, the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year, carried the ball 18 times for 120 yards, including an impressive 31-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Williams missed the final quarter after breaking his right fibula in the third period. P.J. Pope aided the Falcons’ cause with 151 rushing yards on 28 carries and two scores. The offensive fireworks started almost from the opening kickoff. After Bowling Green held the Tigers on their first possession, the Falcons took over on their own 41. Nine plays later, Pope found the end zone from a yard out for a 7-0 Bowling Green lead. However, the Falcons were not done. On the ensuing kickoff, Bowling Green pulled some trickery out of the playbook early with an onsides kick. The Falcons recovered the kick, and the Bowling Green offense was back in business. Jacobs directed a fourplay, 52-yard drive in only 45 seconds to give the Falcons a 14-0 lead just over five minutes into the contest. The score came when Jacobs connected with Charles Sharon from 18 yards out. Memphis got its second possession of the game and took little time cutting the Bowling Green lead in half. The Tigers went 80 yards in seven plays, and the drive culminated in a Wimprine-to-John Doucette 42-yard touchdown toss with 6:51 left in the first quarter. With the game taking on a back-and-forth nature, the Falcons answered immediately. Jacobs led Bowling Green on a six-play, 68-yard drive over the next 2:05 to put the Falcons ahead 21-7. Jacobs hooked up with Sharon for a 36-yard scoring toss. In the second quarter, the Tigers scored 17 seconds into the period on a Wimprine 60-yard pass to Chris Kelley. The score began a five-touchdown quarter that ended with the Falcons holding a 35-28 halftime lead. Memphis was able to pull even at 28-all on a Williams’ 31-yard touchdown scamper with 3:37 left. Bowling Green, though, had one final answer before halftime. Jacobs threw his fourth touchdown pass of the first half when he found Steve Sanders in the end zone with only :37 on the clock. The score

DETROIT, Mich. — It was the holiday season, and the Memphis Tiger football team gave its fans a Merry Christmas – even though it came a day later. Behind a DeAngelo Williams 238-yard rushing performance and three Stephen Gostkowski field goals, the Tigers posted their second postseason victory in three seasons with a 38-31 win over Akron in the 2005 Motor City Bowl. The game was played at Ford Field, the site of the NFL’s 2006 Super Bowl in early February. Williams, who was named the Motor City Bowl MVP, compiled his bowl record-setting 238 yards on 31 carries and scored three touchdowns. Gostkowski hit field goals of 32, 25 and 50 yards, and the 50-yard effort set a Motor City Bowl mark. The way the game started gave no indication it would end up being a 38-31 shootout. The Memphis

offense sputtered at the start, and the Tigers relied on their defense and punter Michael Gibson’s foot. The Tiger defense allowed the Zips only three points, despite having two first-quarter drives deep in Memphis territory. Akron got the field goal on its second drive, but on the first trip across the 50 yard line, the Zips’ series was halted at the Memphis 25 when Tim Goodwell and Rod Smith stopped Brett Biggs on 4thand-1. Gibson played just as important a role in the first quarter with two long punts – 51 and 49 yards – that pinned Akron inside its own 10 yard line both times. After watching the defense keep the Tigers in the game in the first quarter, the Memphis offense got on track in the second frame. Williams, who gained only 19 yards in the first quarter, picked it up on the Tigers’ first scoring drive with 34 yards on the ground. Tiger quarterback Maurice Avery also found his groove in the second quarter, hitting Ernest Williams on a 42-yard strike to the Akron 23. Four plays later, Gostkowski connected on a 32-yard field goal to tie the contest at 3-all. The Tigers kept it going. The defense held the Zips to three-and-out on their next series, and the Memphis offense continued to roll. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Avery found his target in Ryan Scott for a 50-yard gain to the Akron 2 yard line. Williams then pushed the ball across the goal line for the first Memphis lead of the game. After Gostkowski’s PAT, the Tigers led 10-3. With just over four minutes left before halftime, Akron got the ball with an opportunity to cut into the Tiger lead, but it didn’t happen. The Tiger offense took over with 2:30 on the clock and took advantage of another scoring chance. After two rushes netted a minus-3 yards, Avery took back to the air and again hit Scott for a long gain – this time, 48 yards – to the Akron 27. From there, the Tigers moved the ball to the Zips 7, where Gostkowski hit his second field goal for a 13-3 Tiger halftime lead. The early portion of the second half looked no different for the Akron offense. Stymied by the Tigers in the first half, the Zips were unable to get past their own 40 yard line on the first two possessions. Aided by two Akron defensive pass interference calls, the Tigers moved down to the Akron 2, where Williams scored his second touchdown for a 20-3 Memphis lead. With only three minutes left in the third quarter and down 20-3, the Zips scored via the air on the ensuing drive. Zips quarterback Luke Getsy was 6-of-7 passing for 80 yards on the series that resulted in a 46-yard scoring strike to Jabari Arthur to cut the Tiger lead to 20-10. The game moved into the fourth quarter, and the shootout began. Gostkowski got it started with
a 50-yard field goal for a 23-10 Tiger lead. Akron responded with a quick three-play, 80-yard drive to cut the Memphis lead to 23-17. The big play was a Getsyto-Biggs 72-yard scoring strike. The Tigers then answered with their own big play in the form of Williams. With the Zips closing in and also gaining momentum, Memphis’ All-America running back took a handoff and raced 67 yards to the Akron 2. On the next play, Williams scored his third touchdown. Avery added the two-point conversion for a 31-17 Memphis advantage. The Tigers added another score on an Ernest Williams 5-yard run to increase the lead to 38-17 with only 6:38 left. However, the Zips did not quit. Akron scored two touchdowns in under six minutes to pull to within seven at 38-31 with only 50 seconds left. The Zips’ first drive took nearly five minutes, and ended when Getsy hit Domenik Hixon from 14 yards out. The Akron special teams then executed a perfect on-side kick, and recovered the ball at midfield with 1:45 left. One minute later, Getsy connected with Arthur for a 19-yard touchdown pass to cut the Tiger lead to 38-31. The Zips tried their magic one more time, but this time, the Tiger special teams recovered the onside kick, and Memphis ran out the clock for the win. Goodwell, who received the UAW Lineman Award, led the Tiger defense with 12 tackles, five TFLs and two sacks.

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Four out of five. Let’s say it again! For the fourth time in the last five seasons, the Memphis Tiger football team earned a postseason bowl berth. Despite their 44-27 setback to Florida Atlantic in the 2007 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the Tigers and their fans had a lot to be proud of when looking at the entire 2007 campaign. The season began with a tough start, but Memphis caught its stride in late October and rode that wave to a fourth bowl game under head coach Tommy West.
Let’s take a quick review: • A bowl looked like a distant dream after a 2-4 start to the season. • The schedule took on a major shift when the Sept. 8 game at Arkansas State was postponed due to inclement weather. The contest was moved to Sept. 27, making the Tigers play three games in 11 days. • After losing the first two games in the rugged three-games-in-11-days stretch, the Tigers suffered an even greater loss on the night of Sept. 30 when defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was shot and later died. After two days of emotional outpouring, the Memphis players took the field arm-in-arm for its Conference USA home opener versus Marshall. The Tigers won the game 24-21. • With a home loss to Middle Tennessee in mid-October, bowl hopes were all but lost with three of the next four C-USA games on the road. • As was the trend in the Coach West era, the Tigers did not fold. Memphis won all three league road games (at Rice, Tulane and Southern Miss) in that stretch and repositioned itself in the bowl picture. • The Tigers sealed the bowl invitation with back-toback home wins over UAB and SMU to close the regular season. So, you ask, what did the Tigers accomplish? • A winning record for the fourth time in the last five years (2003-07). The last time Memphis did that was from 1973-77 when the Tigers had fivestraight winning seasons. • Six conference wins, the most league victories in school history. • A second-place C-USA East Division finish, the second in three years. • A fourth bowl in the last five years, the first time for a stretch like that in school history. Granted, the bowl setback to Florida Atlantic put a small bitter taste in the mouths of the Tigers, but Memphis’ “never-give-up” attitude kept them in the game until the end despite several injuries that sidelined key Tigers. Kicker Matt Reagan left the game with a concussion and receiver Maurice Jones was sidelined with a dislocated hip. In addition, T.J. Pitts broke his ankle and quarterback Martin Hankins was knocked out of the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Before a crowd of 25,146 at the Louisiana Superdome, seniors Martin Hankins and Joseph Doss went out in style with solid performances. Hankins was 25of-39 passing for 281 yards and three scores, while Doss rushed for 91 yards on 20 carries and caught a team-high five passes for 42 yards. With his 281 yards passing, Hankins set the Memphis single-season mark with 3,220 yards. He also set season records for completions (261) and touchdowns (25). For his career, Hankins totaled 5,770 yards, 43 touchdowns and 487 completions — all second to Danny Wimprine. In the game, Hankins’ favorite targets were Carlos Singleton (4 receptions/63 yards/1 TD) and Duke Calhoun (4 catches/40 yards). With their receptions, both Singleton and Calhoun extended streaks. Singleton extended his streak to 21 games with a reception, while Calhoun caught a pass in all 24 of his collegiate games. After a first quarter warm-up with Florida Atlantic leading 17-7, the teams combined for 26 points in the second period. Two Joey Mack field goals kept the Tigers close, but the Owls answered with touchdowns for a 30-13 lead. However, Memphis closed the gap to 30-20 just before the half when Hankins hit Earnest Williams from 19 yards out. Following halftime, Memphis cut further into the Florida Atlantic lead.

TROPICANA FIELD (33,000) DECEMBER 20, 2008
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — This was the bowl game head coach Tommy West wanted for his program. Sure, he and his Tigers enjoyed their bowl trips four of the previous five years. But, this invitation to the inaugural magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl was — in Coach West’s eyes — an opportunity to see where Memphis stood on the national scene, no matter the game’s outcome. The bowl game had Memphis playing its first BCS league foe in school postseason history, as the Tigers faced the USF Bulls. While the previous bowl trips were important in their own right, Coach West believed this bowl would set the course for the direction of the program’s future. The Bulls won the game 41-14 before a predominantly pro-USF crowd of 25,205 at Tropicana Field, home of the MLB American League champion Tampa Bay Rays. The appearance at Tropicana Field made

history for the Tigers, as it was the first time Memphis played in a Major League Baseball stadium. As for the game, it pitted one of the nation’s best rushing offenses (Memphis) against one of the country’s top rushing defenses (USF), and on this day, the defense won the battle. The Tigers entered the contest averaging over 200 yards via their ground game, but the Bulls had the nation’s ninth-best rushing defense and it showed. USF held Memphis to only 66 yards on 30 carries, and Tiger running back Curtis Steele, a 1,000-yard rusher, gained most of those with 48 yards on 12 rushes. While the Bulls’ defense shut down the Memphis offense, the Tiger defense had no answer for USF quarterback Matt Grothe, who was named the bowl game’s MVP. Grothe was 17-of-24 passing for 236 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 83 yards on 15 carries. He also had one reception for 14 yards. Grothe did all of his damage in the first three quarters, as he sat out the final period. The Bulls got started early and never looked back. On the game’s opening kickoff, USF’s Dontavia Bogan took Matt Reagan’s kickoff at the 1 yard line and returned it 56 yards to the Memphis 43. Three plays later, the Bulls were on the board when Grothe hit Taurus Johnson with a 28-yard scoring strike for a 7-0 lead. The USF scoring drive only took 1:02 off the clock. Later on in the first period, USF struck again on a short six-play drive. Grothe was 3-of-3 passing for 57 yards in putting the Bulls at the Memphis 4 yard line. From there, Ben Williams gained the final four yards and increased the USF lead to 14-0. However, West’s Tigers did not go away. On the ensuing drive, Memphis marched 73 yards on six plays and cut the USF advantage in half at 14-7. The drive only took 2:19, and it ended when Tiger quarterback Arkelon Hall hit paydirt from three yards out. The Bulls, though, took the momentum back on their next possession. After striking quickly on its first two scoring drives, USF put together a lengthy 14-play, 63-yard possession that ended in a Maikon Bonani 23-yard field goal for a 17-7 advantage. The drive took 5:51 off the clock. After holding the Tigers on their next possession, USF had another five-minute scoring drive — this time, 5:24 — that culminated in a Grothe-to-Ben Busbee 13-yard touchdown connection to give the Bulls a 24-7 lead with only 4:15 left before halftime. Again, the Tigers mounted a response. With a little over four minutes before intermission, Memphis started on its own 20, and Hall led the way. The Tiger
quarterback was 7-of-10 passing for 60 yards, including a two-yard touchdown pass to Duke Calhoun with 0:08 left in the second quarter. The score cut the USF lead to 24-14 at the break and pulled momentum back to the Tigers’ side. That momentum, however, swung back to the Bulls in the third quarter. The USF defense held Memphis to only 60 yards on its first two second-half drives, while the Bulls’ offense capitalized with 10 points to increase their lead to 34-14 by the end of the third quarter. Bonani added a 37-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, and Grothe threw his third touchdown pass near the end of the period to put the contest out of reach. The Bulls added a final touchdown early in the fourth quarter for the 41-14 final. Hall was 15-of-31 passing for 154 yards and one score. Calhoun was the Tigers’ leading receiver with a game-high six catches for 39 yards and one touchdown. Brandon Patterson led the Tiger defense with nine tackles. Grothe’s primary targets were Carlton Mitchell (60 yards) and Johnson (40 yards, 1 TD), who each had four receptions. Tyron McKenzie led the USF defense with a game-best 11 tackles.

Three University of Memphis football teams have gone undefeated since the Tigers first took up the sport in 1912. The most recent Memphis team to go through a season without a defeat was the 1963 squad which ended the year 9-0-1. Memphis began its football program in 1912 and compiled a 1-2-1 record under head coach Clyde Wilson. The Tigers, then known as West Tennessee State Normal School, played Memphis University School to a scoreless tie in the first football game played at Memphis on October 5. The Tiger football squad notched its first victory three weeks later on October 26 against Bolton Agricultural 13-0. They eventually lost the final two games of the season to Christian Brothers College and MUS. The first undefeated team was coach Zach Curlin’s 1929 squad which posted an 8-0-2 record, scoring 146 points and limiting the Tigers’ 10 opponents to a mere 27 points. Memphis, which was captained by Slick Headden and Joe Koch, captured the Mississippi Valley Conference Championship with that undefeated season. Coach Allyn McKeen fielded one of the nation’s highest scoring teams in 1938, a season which saw the Tigers finish with a 10-0-0 record. Memphis scored 281 points during the year, while only yielding 41 points. The biggest margin of victory was a 68-0 thrashing of Cumberland College. The Tigers also defeated Arkansas A&M 50-0 later in the season. Roland McMackin captained the 1938 Tigers. The 1963 Memphis football team had only a scoreless tie with Ole Miss between them and a perfect season. The Tigers finished with a 9-0-1 record under head coach Billy J. Murphy. Unlike the 1938 team, which was noted for its offense, this team made its mark as a defensive club. There were five shutouts, and the five remaining teams scored only 52 points. The Tigers, captained by Richard Saccoccia, rolled up 199 points. The 1963 squad had wins over Southern Miss (28-7), Tulsa (28-15), North Texas State (21-0), West Texas State (29-14), Mississippi State (17-10), Louisville (25-0), South Carolina (9-0), Chattanooga (13-0) and Houston (29-6). Senior fullback Dave Casinelli led the NCAA in rushing and scoring during the 1963 season. Casinelli rushed for 1,016 yards and scored 84 points. He is the only Tiger back to win the national rushing and scoring titles.

Tigers Football Through the Years
1910S
• With John Barnhill playing center, the 1922 team won five games, the most victories in a single season since the school’s inception. Barnhill would go on to become a renowned head coach at Arkansas and Tennessee. Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville was named in his honor. • The “high school era” ended in 1923 for West Tennessee State Normal School.
• Allyn McKeen, who was practicing law in Memphis, volunteered to assist Curlin with the team in 1929. McKeen brought a more modern version of football to WTSTC, having just recently graduated from the University of Tennessee. That version was the single-wing. With players like Frank McGoffin, Gene Fulghum, captain Jimmy Graham and Rabbit Evans, the Teachers went undefeated, posting an 8-0-2 record and winning the school’s first conference championship. Graham, who had become accustomed to playing without his helmet, learned the hard way that what the coaches said was law. When McKeen caught Graham entering a game without his helmet, he took a roll of adhesive tape and attached the helmet to Graham’s head. • On September 28, 1929, WTSTC played its first night football game. The contest, which pitted the Teachers against Sunflower Junior College, was played at Hodges Field “beneath the rays of 20 powerful projectors.” The Commercial Appeal wrote that the Teachers had no trouble seeing the ball at night as
2013 Memphis Football Media Guide
• After an 0-9-0 record in 1936, Curlin stepped down as head football coach to devote his attention to his job as intramural director. Allyn McKeen was brought back to become head coach, and he immediately hired a friend from Tennessee as his assistant line coach. That assistant was Cecil C. “Sonny” Humphreys. In an effort to increase a very small athletic budget, each faculty member pledged a week’s salary to support the athletic program. • In 1937, West Tennessee State Teachers College had five buildings, 698 students and an annual budget of $56,000. • The 1938 season became WTSTC’s only undefeated and untied campaign in the school’s history. After posting a perfect 10-0-0 record, the Associated Press in New York (November 21, 1938) declared WTSTC as the nation’s scoring champions with San Jose State second. McKeen’s Teachers were invited to play San Jose State in the Prune Bowl in California, but due to a limited budget, school officials asked for a financial guarantee before taking the team to California. The guarantee never came and the boys from Memphis stayed home in 1938. • Allyn McKeen did not return as coach in 1939. He was hired by Mississippi State College as head football coach and has since been enshrined in the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame for his accomplishments at the two schools. Cecil Humphreys was named head coach at a salary of $200 per month.
1940S • West Tennessee State Teachers College became Memphis State College in 1941. • Ed Molinski, a three-time all-American at the University of Tennessee, became an assistant for Humphreys in 1941 and helped guide the team to seven wins.

• In 1915, Cull Cullpepper joined the faculty at WTSNS after a brilliant football
• The 1921 season opened with no coach and the realization that five starters had transferred to Union University. Rollin Wilson, a stunt pilot who was twice an All-Memphis selection at quarterback during his playing days for Normal, volunteered to coach the team. Wilson trained the young players and put together an amazing 4-5-1 record. Following the season, President A.A. Kincannon decided to employ a fulltime athletic director and coach. The job was given to Lester Barnard.
• West Tennessee State Teachers College joined its first conference, the Mississippi Valley Conference, which included UT-Martin Junior College, Sunflower Junior College, Bethel, Delta State, Murray Normal, Lambuth and Little Rock College.
• In 1935, WTSTC left the Mississippi Valley Conference and joined the SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association) along with Middle Tennessee State College, Louisiana College, Delta State College, Troy State Teachers College, TPI (Tennessee Tech), Union University and Murray State Normal.
History
• Two assistant coaches were added in 1914 when the Normals faced the school’s first eight-game schedule. Hubert Dennison and Hugh Chandler were named to assist Clyde Wilson. On Sept. 14, 1914, The Commercial Appeal ran a photograph of Coach Wilson, marking the first time a photo involving Normal football appeared in local print.
• The 1920s opened with West Tennessee State Normal football falling to its lowest ebb. The 1920 squad posted a record of 0-5-0 and in fact scored only one touchdown on the season, that coming in the final contest of the year. So dismal was the football atmosphere that it appeared Normal would abandon the game in 1921.
• Under the direction of captain Graham Crawford, the 1927 Normals lost just two games, while capturing wins over Arkansas State College, Will Mayfield, Delta State College, Bethel, Lambuth and Arkansas A&M.
• The 1930s opened with the Teachers again winning the Mississippi Valley Conference championship with a 6-31 record. In a runaway game against Arkansas State College, Sam Johnson scored five touchdowns and kicked seven PATs to lead the Teachers to a 73-0 victory.
Records
• West Tennessee State Normal School opened practice for the 1913 season on Sept. 17, 1913, and later that same day, President Seymore Mynders died and a grieving campus thought little of the football season at hand. In the first game of the year, the Blue and Gray lost 67-0 to Memphis High School, and the team never really recovered. Had it not been for a 13-0 win over Somerville High, WTSNS would have gone through the 1913 season winless.
1920S
• The downtown newspapers began to use the nickname “The Tigers” more and more prior to the 1925 season. However, in 1925 the name of the school was changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College and publications began referring to the football team as the “Teachers or Tudors.” The Tiger nickname would not return for 15 years.
1930S
2012 Review
• West Tennessee State Normal School’s first football victory came in the 1912 season when the Tudors defeated Bolton Agricultural College 13-0.
• The 1919 season found Bic Campbell become head football coach but early season injuries took Hugh Washburn, H.K. Grantham, Bob Berry, Rollin Wilson and Pete McIntosh. None were able to return for the 1919 campaign and the final team record was 3-4-0.
• Zachery Henry Curlin became the athletic director and head coach in the fall of 1924. He remained with the Tigers as football coach and athletic director for 14 years and continued to serve the institution until his retirement in 1960. Curlin had been a standout football player at Vanderbilt and came to the Normals with high recommendations.
the locals won the game, 20-0, before 1,500 fans.
Players
• On October 5, 1912, West Tennessee State Normal School played its first football game at Red Elm Park, home of the Memphis Turtles baseball team. The game pitted the Normals of WTSNS against MUS. Game time was slated for 2 p.m., and trollies from downtown Memphis were decorated with blue and gray ribbons, the official colors of the new school located in Shelby County. The Normals had put together a team that consisted of numerous Messick High School stars, including Brian and Don Hanley, and the Howerton brothers. Clyde Wilson, who had volunteered to coach the football boys, led his charges to a 0-0 draw with the powerful MUS squad. The game featured a 16-minute first half and a 12-minute second stanza. Thus started Tiger football.
• Tom Shea, a renowned football player from the powerful Vanderbilt team, took over as head coach in 1916 and immediately led his team to the greatest barn burner in the school’s history. On October 14, 1916, West Tennessee State Normal School defeated Somerville HS 115-0 in the highest scoring game in Memphis history. In that contest, Elton McClure, a halfback, scored six touchdowns. Hugh Washburn, Rollin Wilson and Charlie DeSaussure tallied three scores each, while Lacy Branson, Bob Berry and John McDougle each crossed the goal line once. Washburn kicked seven PATs.
From 1923 on, WTSNS would play only college teams and no longer would high school teams be accepted as opponents. Coach Barnard instilled the Tiger spirit in every man and each pregame prayer concluded with the whispered statement “Every Man A Tiger.” Barnard left Memphis in 1923 to become the head coach at Central Michigan Normal College. Thus began the Zach Curlin era.
Coaching Staff
• The doors of West Tennessee State Normal School opened at 10 a.m., on the morning of September 10, 1912. Less than 300 students were enrolled in the two-year teachers school located in rural Shelby County. The campus consisted of three buildings that were erected at a cost of $450,000.

Normal opened the season with two disappointing losses to the Arkansas Aggies and Memphis HS, but then swamped Somerville HS 75-0. A close loss to MUS was followed by three victories to close out the campaign. After the final game, there was a spontaneous student parade, “with banners flying and with Normal yells and songs rending the atmosphere.” Several students, in their exuberance, shouted, “We fight like Tigers!” A new nickname was born.

However, the winds of war loomed in the not too distant future. • On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and on the morning of December 8, 1941, C.C. Humphreys joined the FBI, accepting a position in counterintelligence. Most of the players enlisted in the armed forces after the 1942 season and football was disbanded until the 1947 season. • When football returned to Memphis State’s campus in 1947, Cecil C. Humphreys was hired as athletic director and he in turn hired an old friend from the University of Tennessee to coach the football team. That friend was Ralph Hatley. Upon Hatley’s hiring, the coaching staff searched for ideas to improve Tiger football after the fouryear delay caused by World War II. To put players in game situations, Hatley and his staff created the first Blue-Gray Spring Game. It was played in April of 1947. • The 1947 roster featured all new players. No football lettermen from prior to World War II returned and, for only the second time in the school’s history, a coach was forced to start from scratch. The first and only other time was Clyde Wilson’s first team in 1912. With the help of a young assistant coach who had returned from the War as a decorated Marine, Hatley set out to sign new players. He and assistant Billy J. Murphy inked 37 players from Memphis, the most ever signed in one year from Memphis. • By 1949, the Tigers were rolling, scoring 385 points and allowing just 87 by opponents. Memphis State was ranked second in the nation in scoring offense in 1949 and again in 1950. The 21-14 victory over Kansas State University in 1949 was considered the first major victory for Memphis State College.
1950S • The 1950s found Memphis State College opening the season with the Ole Miss Rebels before 21,000 fans in Crump Stadium. It was the largest crowd to date to witness a Memphis State game. As had been done eight times in the past, Ole Miss won the game. • In 1951, Lou McLelland, a standout end for the Tigers, was named to Williamson’s first team all-American squad. In 1952, the Tigers defeated Louisville 2925 in Memphis. The Cardinals quarterback that afternoon was Johnny Unitas.

administration, along with the administration of Arkansas State, agreed to create “The Ole Paint Bucket,” a trophy that would be presented to the winning school in each year’s Tiger-Indian tilt. The trophy was designed to keep students from the two schools from painting each other’s buildings the week prior to the game. Memphis State captured the first two “Ole Paint Bucket” before the series was disbanded. The Tigers concluded the 1956 season playing in the Burley Bowl in Johnson City, Tenn. The boys from Memphis defeated East Tennessee State College 32-12 on November 22, 1956. • In 1957, Memphis State College became Memphis State University, and Ralph Hatley stepped down after the season to concentrate on his duties as a teacher. A former assistant coach under Hatley, Billy J. Murphy, took over as head coach and the greatest era in Tiger football got underway. • Billy J. Murphy accepted the position of head football coach on January 13, 1958, his 37th birthday. For the next 14 years Murphy would build the football team into one of the most powerful squads in the country. His 91-44-1 record stands as the winningest in Tiger football history. “No one else would have been tough enough to build a program there,” said former Ole Miss Rebel head coach John Vaught. “He built Memphis State football into what it is today. If he had been on my staff, we would have won the world.” • The Tigers, who had never been able to sign local high school football stars, began to land such players as John Fred Ribilio, John Bramlett and Russ Vollmer. Murphy sent coaches into West Virginia and New Jersey to ink players like Dave Casinelli, Dennis Biodrowski, Richard Adragna, John Cronin and Bob Finamore. • In 1959, the Tigers reached the national spotlight when they battled Alabama and its new head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. The Tigers, who had changed their offense prior to the game, opened the scoring and led 7-0 early in the game. Alabama regained the lead 14-7 and set up a frenzied fourth quarter conclusion. In the fourth stanza, the Tigers moved inside the Alabama 5-yard line. So confident was Tiger quarterback James Earl Wright in his ability to score that he called a two-point conversion play to try and gain the touchdown. Wright put the burden of scoring on his own shoulders. He took the snap and sprinted to his right. When he spotted an opening in the Alabama defense, Wright dove for the end zone. “I landed three feet deep into the end zone, but the closest official had turned to get out of my way,” said Wright. “Finally, the official who was furthermost from the play, came in and spotted the ball at the one inch line and gave it to Alabama.” The game prompted Coach Bryant to

say...”Wright is too good to play for anybody but the University of Alabama.”
1960S • The decade of the 1960s opened with the boys from Memphis State winning two games before taking on the Rebels of Ole Miss at Crump Stadium. The Rebels, led by All-American quarterback Jake Gibbs, were the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, and the Tigers, led by James Earl Wright, were a 32-point underdog. Even in their enthusiasm, Tiger fans had no idea that Wright would be honored as the Associated Press National Back of the Week for his play, beating out Gibbs. The 24,711 fans that packed Crump Stadium witnessed the Rebels score two late fourth quarter touchdowns to pull out a 31-20 victory over the Tigers. An area newspaper reported...”This was the largest crowd to ever see Memphis State play at home and perhaps the largest to ever see the Tigers. Under Billy J. Murphy, they’ve become a major power...on this night they really came of age against a magnificent foe.” • James Earl Wright became known as the Golden Boy of Tiger football. Although he played only one full, injury-free season, Wright won all-America honors, led the nation in passing and set school records in 10 categories. Before a career-ending knee operation on October 31, 1961, Wright had scored three touchdowns against The Citadel, two touchdowns and two TD passes against Hardin-Simmons, and three touchdown passes against Louisville. Shortly before surgery, Time magazine featured Wright as the nation’s touchdown leader and called the Tiger quarterback the “most dangerous back in the South.” When he left the Tigers in 1961, he held the record for the most total offense, most yards passing in
a game, most touchdown passes in a game, most points scored in a game, most touchdowns in a season, most yards passing in a career, most touchdown passes in a career, most total offense in a career and longest touchdown pass from scrimmage. • In 1962, Memphis State reached a major milestone when the team claimed its first win ever over an SEC opponent and on the road to boot. On October 27, 1962, Memphis State defeated Mississippi State University 28-7. It was a watershed event that was followed with an epic 0-0 tie with No. 3 ranked Ole Miss in 1963. These two events indicated that Memphis State had finally reached the mainstream of college football. With a record of 4-1 to start the 1962 season, the Tigers and their fans traveled to Scott Field in Starkville, Miss., anticipating that first win against an SEC opponent. According to the Columns...”The Maroons scored on a pass play but this proved to be the only flaw in the Memphis State defense. Charles Killett tied the score from the two yard line and Russ Vollmer added the conversion. Vollmer broke the game open with a 73-yard kickoff return to set up his own touchdown. A key interception by John Bramlett set up Dave Casinelli’s slashing touchdown. Vollmer ended the scoring with a quarterback sneak for another score”. Thousands of fans and students from Memphis, sensing the victory, rushed the field at the end of the game to tear down the goal posts. A great melee developed between fans of the two schools and fists and cowbells flew intermittently on the field for an hour before police could restore order. The win was touted as the greatest in Memphis State football history and helped set the stage for the 1963 season. The Tigers finished the 1962 season ranked 17th in the final poll. • It had been 24 years since a Tiger football team experienced an undefeated season. But 1963 turned out to be one of those seasons that dreams are made of. With opponents like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Tulsa, Louisville and Houston, no one expected the Tigers to go through the campaign without a loss. After opening the season with a win over Southern Miss, the stage was set for the Memphis State-Ole Miss match up at Crump Stadium in Memphis. The Rebels were ranked No. 3 in the nation, and 31,650 fans packed the stadium for the contest. The game was described by Charles Gillespie of The Commercial Appeal as...”the first great shock of the 1963 intercollegiate football season. The two teams offered no quarter and none was given.” The Rebel team had not been shut out in 48 consecutive games, the Tigers in 23 games. However, the two teams battled to a 0-0 deadlock, marking the first time that Memphis State had not been beaten by the Rebels. Memphis State’s John Fred

• On February 5, 1972, Billy J. Murphy, the winningest coach in Tiger football history, announced that he was giving up coaching to devote himself full-time to his job as athletic director. In his war to bring Memphis State into national prominence, Murphy amassed a 9144-1 record. At the beginning of his final season, the Tiger coach was rated the nation’s 15th winningest football mentor. As he had promised, Murphy built a winner in five years. Enter Fred Pancoast. • The 11th head football coach at Memphis State was Fred Pancoast. A native of Florida and a former University of Georgia and Florida assistant coach, Pancoast found a wealth of talent among the players he inherited. He quickly changed the team’s look by adopting Dallas Cowboys-style uniforms. • The Tigers were 5-5-1 under Pancoast in 1972, but the 1973 season contained numerous highlights, including MSU’s first win in history over Ole Miss in the state of Mississippi. Playing the Rebels in the third game of the season was not normal but in 1973, MSU had Louisville and North Texas State scheduled ahead of its nemesis from Oxford. Powered by the arm of David Fowler and the legs of Cliff Taylor and Dornell Harris, the Tigers prevailed 17-13. • Pancoast left Memphis State after the 1974 season to accept the head coaching position at Vanderbilt. He had posted a record of 20-12-1 in three short

• In 1965, Memphis State took a 5-4 record to Quantico, Va., with the greatest confidence of icing a respectable 6-4 season against the Marines of Quantico. Lore has it that Memphis sportscaster and Voice of the Tigers Jack Eaton made a comment about “those clowns from Quantico” over the air, and local marines and vets flashed the word to Virginia - perhaps to the Pentagon - and the best football players serving in the Marine Corps at the time were transferred to Quantico, some arriving the night before the game, to face the Tigers. A festive group of Memphis State alumni from the Washington area drove down to see the game, but the grizzled marine sergeants on the other side of the field, some dressed in clown suits, made the most noise as they alternately beat a huge drum, cheered and consumed kegs of beer. The pride of the corps persevered 20-14.
• The highlight of the 1968 schedule was the meeting of Memphis State and the University of Tennessee for the first time in school history. The Highland Hundred booster club had printed thousands of bumper stickers saying...”Draft the Volunteers, get the MSU-UT football series.” A number of MSU students took the stickers and traveled across the state plastering cars. One group of students even went to Knoxville and stuck cars on the Tennessee campus. A bill was drafted to force the two teams to play, but the schools’ presidents met with Governor Buford Ellington and set up the home-and-home contests. The Tigers lost to Tennessee 24-17, but claimed the Missouri Valley Championship and Murphy was named the Conference Coach of the Year.
• In 1971, Memphis State claimed the Missouri Valley Conference championship, and for the first time since the 1954 Burley Bowl, earned that elusive bowl invitation. As conference champion, the Tigers were invited to the Pasadena Bowl to take on San Jose State. MSU won the game 28-9, but one note not covered in the game stories was a run by tailback Skeeter Gowen in the fourth period. After breaking free around the end, he scooted over the goal line, hotly pursued by a gigantic Spartan lineman. In the end zone, Gowen slowed to stop. But the lineman kept coming. Gowen trotted out of the end zone. So did the lineman. At that point the little Memphis back raced up the stadium steps into the seating area. When the big lineman finally gave up, Gowen sat down in the spectator seats, placed the ball in his lap and caught his breath.

• Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium opened on September 16, 1965, and served as the new home for the Tiger football team. The stadium was built at a cost of $3.7 million dollars and was operated by the Memphis Park Commission.
• The shot-heard-around-Memphis came in 1967 when the Tigers opened the campaign with the Rebels of Ole Miss. The Liberty Bowl was packed with 50,414 fans on Sept. 23 as the two teams met for the 21st time in the series. But, this time the outcome was different. Led by Nick Pappas, Bob Baxter, Ricky Thurow and Herb Covington, the Tigers answered every Rebel score with one of their own and won the contest 27-17. The 1967 season also marked the first time that Memphis State appeared on regional television. On November 4, 1967, the Tigers took on Florida State University on ABC-TV. As a first-year member of the Missouri Valley Conference, the Tigers were now aligned with Drake, Louisville, Wichita State, Bradley, Cincinnati, Tulsa, North Texas State and Saint Louis, but were not eligible for the conference title in that first year of competition.
• The Tigers opened the decade of the 1970s with Paul “Skeeter” Gowen finishing 11th in the nation in rushing. The team compiled a 6-4 record and brought the five-year won-loss record to 33-15.

1963 FINAL UPI RANKINGS
• One of the most unusual events in college football occurred in 1964. Memphis State always held dates as late as possible in order to schedule SEC opponents. As the 1964 season drew nearer, the Tigers found themselves with just nine games. Athletic Director Eugene Lambert discovered that Southern Miss, already on the Tigers’ schedule for one game, also had just nine games. Thus came one of the most unusual arrangements in modern collegiate football. Contracts were signed to play a second game during the same season between the two teams. The first was to be played in Memphis and the second in Jackson, Miss. Unfortunately, Southern Miss won both games 20-14 and 20-18. Harry Schuh, an offensive tackle for the Tigers, won first team All-America honors from Time, the Football Coaches Association, Playboy Magazine, TV Guide, United Press International and Associated Press.
• The 1966 season concluded with the Tigers playing the 11th-ranked University of Houston Cougars in the Astrodome. The game marked the first ever indoor contest for the Tigers. Memphis State won the game 14-13.

• The second great game of the 1963 season came against another SEC opponent, the Bulldogs of Mississippi State University. Murphy remembered the game as the “toughest game ever played,” between the two teams. Russ Vollmer, the Tigers’ quarterback, remembered the game because of his acceptance by the Memphis State fans. It was the kind of game that gave birth to legends. Vollmer broke the opening kickoff 79 yards to set up Memphis State’s first score. In the second quarter, he returned a Mississippi State punt up the middle and cut toward the sideline, running out of bounds in the Mississippi State bench area. As he was attempting to return to the playing field, an over zealous Mississippi State player hit Vollmer with a “flying tackle.” It knocked him over the bench and down a concrete stairwell that led to the dressing rooms under the Crump Stadium stands. The fall injured Vollmer’s back and he was rushed to Methodist Hospital’s Emergency Room, which was located next to Crump Stadium. Mississippi State moved to a 10-9 lead at halftime. Vollmer was found to have no serious injuries and returned to the Tiger locker room with a few minutes remaining at halftime. Eugene “Doc” Smith, the athletic trainer, taped the Tiger quarterback while the team returned to the field and started the second half. Vollmer, alone, came up the steps from the dressing room and began trotting around the field to the Memphis State sideline. The crowd began to murmur and then roar. Vollmer re-entered the game and engineered a 70-yard drive for the winning touchdown. He was named the Associated Press National Back of the Week for his heroic play. The Tigers went on to an undefeated season, and Billy J. Murphy

seasons and had gained wins over Ole Miss and Florida State among others. • Richard Williamson, an assistant coach at Arkansas and Alabama, was hired on January 20, 1975, to replace Pancoast. Williamson, a former wide receiver for the University of Alabama and who caught Joe Namath’s first career touchdown pass, was hired to direct the Tiger football fortunes. At 33-years-old, Williamson was one of the youngest head coaches in the nation. A hardnosed disciplinarian, Williamson would weather several storms during his tenure at MSU. • The Tigers traveled to Auburn, Ala., to play the second game of Williamson’s career. Shug Jordan was entering his final season at Auburn, and the legendary coach and his team were set to meet the Tigers. Sixth-ranked Auburn was stunned by the Tigers and trailed 24-0 at halftime. The home team roared back in the second half, but led by quarterback Kippy Brown, tailback Terdell Middleton and receivers Earnest Gray and Keith Wright, Memphis State prevailed and won the contest 31-20. Other victories in 1975 included Florida State, Houston and Louisville, and the Tigers’ final ledger read, 7-4-0. • Many think the 1976 schedule was the most difficult ever played by the Tigers. The team opened the season like gangbusters, beating Ole Miss and Florida State before dropping a game to Tulsa. Then came wins against SMU and Auburn. With a 4-1 record, the Tigers were ready to take on Mississippi State in the Liberty Bowl. It seemed like the Tigers were set to win the rest of their games. But, on Monday prior to the game, two linebackers quit the team and in a solidarity move, many African-American players boycotted practice. The mood of the team was disrupted and the Tigers lost the game 42-33. MSU added two more victories before losing 21-14 to Tennessee in Memphis. Memphis State split its final two games of the year to post its second consecutive 7-40 season. What might have been, never was. • The highlight of the 1977 season was a 21-13 win over Mississippi State and its head coach Bob Tyler. It marked the first non-conference loss for Tyler in his tenure at Mississippi State. Tiger tailback Eddie Hill was named the Associated Press National Back of the Week for his play. Later in the season, Tiger quarterback Lloyd Patterson was named the Associated Press Back of the Week for his play against Southern Miss, although it was Bob Orian’s 91yard return of a Golden Eagle pass that set up the win. • The latter stages of the 1970s found the Tigers having up-and-down seasons, and after a disastrous 1980 campaign, Richard Williamson was notified that he would not be retained for the 1981

• After opening the decade of the 1980s with the dismissal of Williamson, Rex Dockery, a former University of Tennessee player and the head coach at Texas Tech, was hired to direct the Tiger football fortunes.
• A veteran of the coaching ranks at the University of Florida, Bailey’s Tigers struggled to a 1-10-0 record in 1986 with the lone victory coming at the hands of Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
• In 1981, Bob Patterson was hired to replace Billy J. Murphy as athletic director. Patterson, a former Tiger offensive lineman, had come to MSU with Rex Dockery from Texas Tech. In November 1982, Charles Cavagnaro was hired to replace Bob Patterson as athletic director at Memphis State University. Cavagnaro, a graduate of MSU, had worked as a sports writer and editor of The Commercial Appeal. He had also spent time as the general manager of the Memphis Pros of the American Basketball Association.
• The Tigers opened the 1987 campaign with a 16-10 win over Ole Miss and then stunned the college football world by upsetting 15th-ranked Alabama 13-10 in the Liberty Bowl. The season came to an end with MSU gaining victories over Louisville and Tulsa to post a 5-5-1 record.
• The 1981 and 1982 seasons were a struggle for Dockery and his staff. The Tigers battled to escape the noose of the nation’s longest losing streak. After gaining his first coaching victory at MSU against Georgia Tech on September 26, 1981, the Tigers dropped the next 17 consecutive games. On November 27, 1982, the Liberty Bowl erupted when the Tigers defeated Arkansas State 12-0 to break the streak. • The frustrations of the past two seasons exploded in the opening contest of the 1983 season. The Tigers opened against Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl and handed the Rebels their worst defeat in a game against the Tigers in the history of the series. Powered by the running of Jeff Womack and Punkin Williams, MSU knocked off Ole Miss 37-17. After losses to North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Alabama, the Tigers rebounded to win against Tulane, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Cincinnati and Louisville to finish the season as the NCAA’s second-most improved team. From 1-10-0 in 1982, the boys from Memphis State had improved their record to 6-4-1 and the future looked very bright. Tragedy struck in one brief instance and what had been the best of times became the worst of times. • Rex Dockery, offensive coordinator Chris Faros, defensive back Charles Greenhill and pilot Glenn Jones were all killed in a plane crash in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., en route to an all-star banquet. It was the darkest moment in Tiger football annals. • Rey Dempsey, a Division 1-AA National Championship coach from Southern Illinois, was hired to direct the football program at MSU. His 1984 team had a .500 record at 5-5. There were wins over Mississippi State, Cincinnati, Southwestern Louisiana and a tie with nationally-ranked Florida State, but
• Bailey’s Tigers gained national headlines again in 1988 by stopping 20thranked Florida 17-11 in Gainesville. For Bailey, it was a crowning moment in his football coaching career to return to Florida as an underdog and gain such a victory. Tailback Xavier Crawford and defensive backs Eddie Moore and Glenn Rogers Jr., led the team to the win. However, the 1988 season’s 6-50 record soon paled in the light of an NCAA investigation of the Tiger football program. • When it was determined by the NCAA that one player, James Maclin, had received approximately $300 in over payment for a summer job, Bailey was forced to resign and the team received two years probation. Chuck Stobart was hired to rebuild the football program. He became the fifth coach in a 10-year span to lead the team. • Arriving just three weeks before the team reported for fall camp, Stobart was forced to keep most of the staff of his predecessor. The Tigers defeated Vanderbilt and Cincinnati, but dropped nine games in 1989 to finish the season with a 2-9-0 record.
1990S • In 1991, Stobart’s Tigers again put the school’s name in headlines across the nation by beating the 14th-ranked Trojans of Southern Cal 24-10 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The passing of Keith Benton and the rushing of Larry Porter aided in the monumental victory. The Tigers scored the first points of the game on a 45-yard field goal by Joe Allison. During the next three minutes, the Trojans marched 81 yards in 10 plays. Junior tailback Mazio Royster, USC’s Heisman Trophy candidate, did most of the damage in the drive, but it was quarterback Reggie Perry who went the final 20 yards for the touchdown.

Junior tailback Gerard Arnold broke the University of Memphis single-season rushing record by gaining 1,059 yards. The 36-year-old record of 1,016 yards had been set by the late Dave Casinelli in 1962. Arnold had six 100-yard rushing games en route to breaking the record. The Lexington, Tenn., native completed the 1998 season as the nation’s 33rd-ranked running back. Arnold was named to the All-CUSA second team. Freshman kicker Ryan White, a semi-finalist for the Lou Groza Award, became the only kicker in the nation to have a perfect year. The soccer-style kicker booted 16-of16 field goals and 22-of-22 PATs on the season. He finished the season ranked 18th in the nation in kicking.

The coaching staff set out on the recruiting trail and targeted most of the top players in the Memphis area as priority recruits. In the past, many of the star players from Memphis had chosen to leave the city to play their college football for other schools. This was not the case in 1996. Several weeks before the national signing date, Westwood High School All-Americans Kenton Evans and Damien Dodson announced their intentions to stay in Memphis and help build a nationally-recognized football program at Memphis. With such a star quarterback and receiver announcing their commitments with the Tigers, others followed. All-State tailback Teofilo Riley of Memphis Central and Reid Hedgepeth, a stellar tight end from Christian Brothers, joined the growing list of high school players to commit to Scherer. From outside the Memphis area, the U of M gained commitments from Kevin Luttrell, a defensive end from Brentwood Academy in Nashville, and from Marcus Jack, a top running back from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Players from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, California and Texas joined the national recruiting effort, and when the ink had dried on the scholarships, Scherer and his staff had landed what most called the greatest recruiting class in school history.

• In 1994, the institution became the University of Memphis, marking the fourth name change since 1912.
• On April 24, 1995, the football program received a major boost when it was announced that Conference USA had been officially formed. The new, allsports conference featured Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Southern Miss, Tulane and Houston as football playing members with UAB and USF as possible members in the near future. C-USA was further enhanced by gaining a five-year, $20 million television package with Liberty Sports Network which featured conference football over most of the nation. In addition, the Tigers also announced a deal that would televise all Tiger football games on SportSouth and on WLMT-TV in Memphis.
Memorial Stadium before a record-setting crowd of 65,885. The Tigers were pitted against the No. 6 ranked Tennessee Volunteers, who held a decided 15-0 series lead. The game, which was carried by CBS TV, matched Heisman Trophy candidate Peyton Manning against the Tigers’ outstanding defense led by senior Tony Williams and Richard Hogans.Tennessee scored the afternoon’s first points on a two-yard run at the 3:06 mark of the first quarter. Tennessee held their 7-0 lead until the final seconds of the first half when Keith Spann intercepted a Manning pass and returned it 76 yards to the Vols’ 1-yard line. Memphis quarterback Qadry Anderson then sneaked in from one-yard out to knot the score at the half. UT opened the third quarter by driving 72 yards in 13 plays for the go-ahead score. But Memphis kick returner Kevin Cobb answered UT’s score with a 95yard acrobatic return, which again tied the score at 14-14. Both teams battled around midfield until the six minute mark of the fourth quarter when Jeff Hall connected on a 28-yard field goal. With 6:01 left in the contest, Memphis took the kickoff and mounted a 70yard, 12-play drive which culminated in an Anderson to Chris Powers touchdown pass to seal the Memphis victory 21-17. The Tiger defense held the final 34 seconds as Tiger fans poured over the walls and tore down the goalposts.

• In 1993, Memphis State shocked the nation by opening the season with a 45-35 victory over the nationally-ranked Bulldogs of Mississippi State. Senior quarterback Steve Matthews completed a school record 29-of-45 pass attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns. The lefthander set Tiger records for most pass completions in a game (29) and for most attempts in a game (45). In addition, he ran for a 41-yard touchdown and finished the game with 362 yards of total offense. Matthews was named the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Week for his part in the Tiger win. The Tigers reached another milestone when they appeared on their first nationally televised broadcast against the Miami Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl. The game was carried by ESPN. Memphis had played in several regional
• The 1994 season marked the end of an era for head coach Chuck Stobart, but still found Tiger football battling for that elusive bowl bid. As a member of the Liberty Bowl Alliance (East Carolina, Cincinnati, Tulane, Southern Miss and Memphis), the Tigers had an opportunity to play their way into the first bowl game since the 1971 Pasadena Bowl. Early in the season, junior flanker Ryan Roskelly had a record-setting night against Tulsa. The Placentia, Calif., native returned 10 punts for 194 yards and one touchdown and caught six passes for 174 yards and a second score. Roskelly’s 368 all-purpose yards set a Memphis record as did his punt return yardage and his number of returns. In fact, Roskelly’s 194 yards in punt returns were the most by any player in NCAA Division I football in 1994. After claiming a third straight win over the Razorbacks, the Tigers ran off victories against Tulane, Arkansas State and Cincinnati. Racing with East Carolina for a bid to the St. Jude-Liberty Bowl, the Tigers found themselves in Oxford, Miss., facing backyard rival Ole Miss. Over the 73 years that the contest had been waged, the Tigers had never defeated Ole Miss in Oxford. Trailing the Rebels 16-5 with just 8:26 remaining in the game, the Tigers mounted the greatest comeback in the school’s history. After a 43-yard punt return by Ryan Roskelly, Memphis drove the ball 31 yards with tailback Frank Fletcher going the final five yards for the score. The lead had been cut to 16-11. After holding Ole Miss and forcing a punt, the Tigers mounted their final drive of the game. Quarterback Joe Borich keyed the drive, which took 4:02, with three clutch plays. On 4th-and-15 from the 31-yard line, Borich (from a shotgun set) rolled left out of the pocket, then came back right toward the sidelines where he spotted tailback Frank Fletcher slanting downfield for an 18yard gain. On 3rd-and-8 from the 11yard line, Borich was flushed from the pocket, couldn’t find anyone open and decided to run the ball. He gained nine yards and a first down at the Ole Miss two-yard line. With 11 seconds left, Borich called a sprint pass and found Ryan Roskelly in the corner of the end zone for the winning score. “I never saw the completion,” Borich said after the game. After dropping the final game of the season and losing the Liberty Bowl bid to East Carolina, Chuck Stobart was relieved of his duties and a search began for a new head football coach.

Scherer brought in Jim Pletcher (DC), Ted Million (OL) and David Lockwood (WR) from his staff at James Madison. He hired Keith Butler (DE), Wayne Weedon (DL), Vic Koenning (DB) and Maurice Knight (RB) from the previous Memphis staff. Scherer then selected experienced coaches Sparky Woods (New York Jets and South Carolina) and Jim Marshall (Richmond) to come in and work with the offense.

• During the 1992 and 1993 seasons, the team’s record improved to 6-5-0 and included impressive wins over Arkansas, Tulane, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. In 1992, Tiger cornerback Ken Irvin placed his name in the NCAA and Memphis record book by blocking four punts in a single game. The Tigers were hosting Arkansas in Memphis for the first time in the two schools’ histories, and Irvin used the opportunity to not only log a couple of records but help Memphis to a 22-6 win over the Razorbacks. In a span of 60 minutes, Irvin broke the oldest record in the NCAA record book. The 1992 Memphis-Tulane game in the New Orleans Superdome saw the greatest first-half offensive explosion in modern Tiger history and produced the most points scored by a Tiger team in 23 years. Memphis tallied 35 points in the first quarter on touchdowns by tailback John Martin (2), wide receiver Isaac Bruce, flanker Mac Cody and strong safety Sam Edwards. Martin and Bruce added second quarter scores to up Memphis’ halftime lead to 49-13. Cody caught his second touchdown pass of the game in the third stanza, and kicker Joe Allison added a 31-yard field goal to push the Tiger lead to 59-20. Allison booted his second field goal of the game in the fourth quarter to make the final margin of victory a whopping 62-20. With his three field goals against Tulane boosting his season total to 19, Joe Allison laid claim to the 1992 Lou Groza Award. The Groza Award, presented each year to the nation’s top kicker, was the first national award ever won by a Memphis football player. The cousin of the late NASCAR driver Davey Allison, Joe finished the season with 23 made field goals. He was named to six All-America teams, in addition to being named the recipient of the Groza Award.

Tigers Football Through the Years three Ryan White field goals and an 82yard touchdown pass from Neil Suber to Ken Coutain, the U of M found itself leading Tennessee 16-10 with less than two minutes remaining in the contest. Tennessee mounted one final drive. On what appeared to be a fourth down quarterback sack by the Tiger defense, UT quarterback Tee Martin launched a “Hail-Mary” pass that was caught deep in Memphis territory. Two plays later Tennessee scored and captured a hardfought 17-16 win. Memphis would go on to post a 4-2 Conference USA record and finished the season tied for second in the league. Led by freshman quarterback Travis Anglin, the Tigers won three of the final four games of the season, including league wins over Army, Tulane and Cincinnati. The 5-6 mark was the best record under head coach Rip Scherer since his arrival and caused the Memphis administration to extend his contract through the 2004 season. Six new assistant coaches were added to the staff in the spring of 2000, including Tommy West, Tim Walton, Jimmy Kiser, Clay Helton, Rick Mallory and Rick Whitt.
2000S • It started with so much promise but due to a number of key injuries, the 2000 season collapsed in the later stages and forced the U of M to take drastic measures. Posting a record of 4-7, Rip Scherer was relieved of duties after six seasons as the head coach. The Tigers opened the season winning three of the first four games and four of the first six contests. Led by three quarterbacks, Memphis claimed wins over Louisiana-Monroe, Arkansas State, Army and East Carolina before the late season swoon. With injuries knocking out Anglin and Neil Suber, the Tigers were forced to turn to inexperienced backups. The team lost its final five games of the season, and on November 20, Scherer was dismissed. A search began immediately for his replacement, and it took just 10 days for the university to hire Tommy West, the Tigers’ defensive coordinator, as its 21st head coach. West coordinated the Memphis defense in 2000 and led his unit to a national ranking of fifth in total defense and first in rushing defense. • The 2001 football season was one of promise and improvement as the Tigers turned their “spread” offense into an exciting brand of football that found the youthful squad battling for a bowl bid until the final four seconds of the last game of the season. Under Tommy West’s direction, the Tigers defeated such schools as Houston, Army, USF and C-USA power Southern Miss en route to a 5-6 finish. Freshman quarterback Danny Wimprine threw for a freshman record 1,329 yards and 14 TDs and junior tailback Dante Brown rushed for 902 yards and 11 TDs. Brown

set a Memphis record by scoring four rushing touchdowns in the win over Houston and his 902 yards rank as the sixth-highest total in Memphis history. • The Tiger football team fell short of their intended goals in 2002 and finished the season with a record of 3-9. However, numerous individual records fell as Wimprine rewrote the passing record book, and freshman tailback DeAngelo Williams let everyone know that he was the Tigers’ back of the future. Wimprine broke the Memphis record for touchdown passes in a single game in the season opener against Murray State when he tossed five scoring strikes. When the season ended, the New Orleans native had set records for most pass attempts in a game, most pass completions in a game, most touchdown passes in a game, pass attempts in a season, most pass completions in a season, most yards passing in a season and most touchdown passes in a season. He moved into third place on the Memphis all-time career passing list with 4,149 yards. Williams, who came to the U of M with incredible prep credentials, led the nation in average yards per carry for four weeks and was second in the nation after 11 games. He completed the season tied for fifth in the country in yards per carry averaging an amazing 6.6 yards per attempt. Memphis placed four players on both the All-C-USA team and C-USA All-Freshman team. Center Jimond Pugh was named first team at center, while teammates Derrick Ballard, Tony Brown and Travis Anglin were selected to the second team. Williams was voted to the All-Freshman squad as was Stephen Gostkowski, John Doucette and O.C. Collins. Collins was also named to two Freshman All-America teams for 2002. Two members of the 2002 Tiger squad were drafted by NFL teams as tackle Wade Smith was taken in the third round by the Miami Dolphins and wide receiver Travis Anglin was picked in the seventh round by the Detroit Lions. • Tommy West started the 2003 season off by signing what he termed the “the most noted and highly renowned recruit” in Tiger history. He was referring to the landing of defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn. Dunn served as the defensive coordinator for Memphis from 1989 through 1991 and left to take over similar spots at Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State, where he worked for seven seasons under Jackie Sherrill. • For years and years, Tiger fans became accustomed to always saying... “wait until next year” as the college football season wound down to a close. But the 2003 season became that “next year,” as Memphis closed with a bowl victory in New Orleans. After a season-opening win over Tennessee Tech, the Tigers surprised everyone by knocking off Heisman Trophy candidate Eli Manning
and his Ole Miss Rebel team 44-34 before a national television audience. As the season progressed, victories came against C-USA foes Tulane, Houston, East Carolina, Louisville and Cincinnati and when the regular season finale was played in November, the Tigers had compiled a record of 8-4 and were receiving attention from several bowl representatives. On the night of Nov. 30, Memphis received the call from the New Orleans Bowl extending an invitation to play North Texas in the fourth annual event. The game was Dec. 16 and was played in the Superdome. Without the services of tailback DeAngelo Williams and with wide receiver Maurice Avery still limping on a bad knee, the Tigers rolled into New Orleans with thousands of fans and a host of media for the school’s first bowl appearance in 32 years. Riding the arm of Wimprine, the Tigers dominated the Mean Green and came away with a 27-17 victory. It would be C-USA’s only bowl win of the 2003 season and pushed the Tigers’ all-time bowl record to 3-0. Wimprine was named the MVP of the New Orleans Bowl and weeks later, head coach Tommy West was voted the Tennessee Sports Writers Coach of the Year. Memphis’ 9-4 record marked the best finish by a Tiger team since the 1963 season. • West’s Tigers continued to make history in 2004. The squad opened the season with a 5-1 record for the first time since 1967. Included in that span were wins over Ole Miss, Chattanooga, Arkansas State, Houston and Tulane. Memphis also enjoyed its first-ever national ranking by the Associated Press when the Tigers were listed at No. 25 on Sept. 12. Memphis also played four of its last five games of the season on national television. One of the most memorable games was oddly enough a loss to then C-USA foe Louisville. The game was played on Thursday night with the ESPN crew of Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Chris Fowler and Jill Arrington. A crowd of 52,384 fans watched the offensive explosion as Memphis and Louisville put up 105 points on the scoreboard. Louisville, ranked 14th nationally at the time, rolled off to the 56-49 victory. The crowd that supported the Tigers was the 11th-largest crowd in school history, but it was also the largest crowd ever to watch Memphis face a non-SEC foe. The following week on ESPN2, the Tigers became bowl eligible for the second straight season with a win over Southern Miss at home. It was the first time ever that Memphis had achieved back-to-back bowl appearances in school history. The Tigers finished out the regular season with wins over East Carolina and USF on the road and headed to the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala., with an 8-3 record. Memphis faced Bowling Green State in the bowl meeting and dropped to 8-4 on the year with a 52-35 loss to the Falcons. The Falcons
were powered by one of the nation’s leading quarterbacks, Omar Jacobs, but the game took a bad turn when All-American tailback DeAngelo Williams left the game in the third quarter with a broken leg. • The Tigers placed Williams, Gene Frederic, Wesley Smith and Stephen Gostkowski on the All-C-USA first team, and Danny Wimprine, Jeremy Rone, Tavares Gideon, Marcus West and Albert Means on the second team. Greg Hinds was named to the All-Freshman team, and Williams was named the Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. He shared the honor with Louisville quarterback Stefan LeFors. Wimprine finished out his fouryear career with almost every passing record, throwing for 10,215 yards and 81 touchdowns. Williams continued to rack up honors by the end of the season and was named an All-American by the Associated Press, SI.com and Pro Football Weekly. He also was Tennessee’s Player of the Year by the TSWA and was the Male Amateur Athlete of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. In January, he settled a lot of nerves when he announced that he would “forgo his NFL career” to come back to Memphis for his senior season. Months later, Williams was named to the 2005 Playboy All-America team and the University began its Heisman campaign for the record-setting back. • The 2005 season went down in history as the year the Tigers had a legitimate Heisman candidate. The Athletic Media Relations office launched a highly-publicized campaign that matched college football with another deep South favorite – NASCAR. By the end of summer, DeAngelo Williams had his own “Race for the Heisman” promotion that included 1:24 scale die-cast cars with a special paint scheme. Nearly 1,000 cars were mailed to local, regional and national media, but most notable was the fact that approximately 2,500 cars were bought by fans in just three days. A website was built, noting Williams’ accomplishments, and eventually a fullsize race car was donated and appeared at all Tiger home games. The promotion served its purpose, as Williams and the Memphis Tigers gained the national spotlight. • But, the 2005 season was not marked by the accomplishments of just one player, but by a total team effort, as the Tigers overcame their share of adversity en route to a winning campaign. Prior to the start of the season, Memphis lost veteran receiver Mario Pratcher and defensive lineman Van Houston to knee injuries. In the first game of the season, starting quarterback Patrick Byrne suffered a broken leg on Memphis’ first offensive series against Ole Miss. Byrne was lost for the season, and redshirt freshman Will Hudgens had to take over under center.

• Memphis closed out the 2007 season ranked in the top 25 in several national categories, including total offense (23rd), sack denial (10th), passing offense (13th), turnover margin (15th), fumbles lost (tied 3rd), turnovers lost (tied 10th) and fourth down conversions (11th). • Several Tigers received C-USA honors, including offensive lineman Andy Smith, wide receiver Duke Calhoun and linebacker Jake Kasser. Offensive lineman Dominik Riley and deep snapper Keenan Bratcher were selected to the All-C-USA Freshman Team. • In 2007, Memphis was the only nonBCS team to participate in a bowl game, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the NCAA baseball tournament all in the same calendar year. • The Tigers found themselves in uncharted territory early in the 2008 season when they opened with three straight losses for the first time ever under head coach Tommy West. And while most counted the Tigers down and out, this squad refused to sit back and accept a losing season. Memphis rolled off consecutive wins over Nicholls State, Arkansas State and UAB to even the record at 3-3 at the halfway point.
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association • 1935-1942 • The Tigers left the Mississippi Valley Conference in 1934 and promptly joined the membership of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The new affiliation united Memphis with Middle Tennessee State, Louisiana College, Delta State, Troy State, Tennessee Tech, Union University and Murray State. The Tigers competed for eight seasons prior to World War II and had a conference mark of 18-24-1. Missouri Valley • 1968-1972 • As Memphis State grew in national stature, the institution sought to align itself with similar schools. In 1968, the Tigers joined the Missouri Valley Conference. and for a five-year period, dominated the football membership. MSU competed against such schools as Louisville, Tulsa, Wichita State, North Texas State, Cincinnati, Drake and West Texas State. Memphis State won three conference championship (1968, 1969, 1971), and head coach Billy J. Murphy was named the Coach of the Year three times. The Tigers compiled a 19-5-0 record and represented the league with a win in the 1971 Pasadena Bowl.

• The 2007 season started off slow as the Tigers opened with a 1-3 record. And, just as the team was feeling about as down and out as possible, an unexpected tragedy brought the group together. On Sunday, Sept. 30, defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was killed in an act of violence, and the Tigers were facing a game two days later. Following a powerful campus vigil on Monday, Oct. 1, the Tiger football team set out on the emotional task of playing a game on ESPN on Tuesday against C-USA foe Marshall. Coach Tommy West and his squad entered the field arm-in-arm in a chilling showing of togetherness. The team snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Marshall and that game
• Other key wins in 2007 included a 25-9 win over UAB that marked Memphis’ first win over the Blazers since 1999; the 29-26 win over Southern Miss in Hattiesburg that marked Memphis’ second straight win over USM on the road; and the 55-52 triple overtime shootout with SMU on Memphis’ senior day that lasted four hours and 33 minutes.
Memphis, then West Tennessee State Teachers College, had its first conference affiliation during the 1928 season when the fledgling institution was a member of the Mississippi Valley Conference. Memphis joined with Tennessee Martin JC, Sunflower JC, Bethel College, Delta State College, Murray Normal, Lambuth College and Little Rock College to form the league. Memphis competed in the Mississippi Valley Conference for seven seasons and compiled an overall record of 19-6-3.

• Perhaps the most memorable play of the 2006 season was against eventual C-USA champion Houston. With just over two minutes remaining on the clock, Brandon McDonald blocked UH’s 24-yard field goal attempt and linebacker Greg Jackson picked up the ball and ran it 80 yards for a TD that tied the game at 20 and forced overtime. Memphis fell short of the victory as UH booted a field goal to win the game, 23-20.
• With its loss to Florida Atlantic in the New Orleans Bowl, the Tigers finished the season with a 7-6 record, which was good for the fourth-best turnaround nationally. In addition, the Tigers finished C-USA action with a 6-2 record which placed the U of M tied for second in the East Division with East Carolina. The six wins were the most victories for the Tigers since beginning C-USA play in 1996.

• By the end of the season, eight starters were lost for the season, but Memphis turned the negatives into positives. Because of the dedication and determination of the coaching staff and players, the Tigers received an invitation to their third-straight bowl game. The Tigers traveled to Detroit for the Motor City Bowl and defeated Akron, 38-31, on Dec. 26 in front of over 50,000 fans at Ford Field. Williams rushed for 238 yards in the game and was named the MVP, while linebacker Tim Goodwell received the UAW Lineman Award. In addition, Williams and Gostkowski were invited to the Senior Bowl; Avery played in the Hula Bowl; and Goodwell appeared in the All-American Bowl.

He, along with kicker Matt Reagan and defensive lineman Greg Terrell, was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Rusty Clayton, Brandon McDonald, Michael Gibson, Ryan Scott, Brandon Pearce and Blake Butler were also named to the All-CUSA Team as for the first time in league history, coaches and media picked separate teams. Brandon McDonald became the third Tiger in two years to be drafted. He was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns.

• The personnel changes proved to be successful as Avery led the Tigers to wins in five of the last seven games of the season, and Williams finished the season as the NCAA’s leader in rushing yards per game. Williams also became the NCAA’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards and finished his career ranked fourth all-time in NCAA history in rushing yards. While Williams scored 114 points, which was just over 30 percent of the team’s scoring in 2005, the Tigers could not have been successful without senior kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who also scored 30 percent of the points with 101. Williams was named C-USA Offensive Player of the Year for the third-straight season, and ultimately was drafted in the first round by the Carolina Panthers, while Gostkowski was selected the league’s Special Teams Player of the Year and was drafted in the fourth round by the New England Patriots. In addition to Williams and Gostkowski, five other Tigers were selected to the All-C-USA Team. Defensive end Marcus West, offensive guard Andrew Handy and safety Wesley Smith were picked to the first team, and punter Michael Gibson was named to the second team. Offensive lineman Brandon Pearce and receiver Maurice Jones landed on the C-USA All-Freshman Team.
on the depth chart. In fact, during the season 25 Tigers were sidelined for at least one game and 11 of those were season-ending injuries. Of the 25 injuries, 15 were to starters or potential starters and the injuries were just about split down the middle with 11 on offense and 14 on defense. With the constant changing lineup and a defense that struggled after defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn was released prior to the Tennessee game, the Tigers ended the year with a 2-10 record and snapped the bowl streak.

Hudgens started against Chattanooga and led the Tigers to victory, but late in the third game of the season against Tulsa, Hudgens suffered a broken leg that ended his season. And, not only was Byrne sidelined in game one, but so was senior defensive end Rubio Phillips, who suffered a knee injury. The Tigers then turned to true freshman Billy Barefield at quarterback. Barefield led Memphis to an upset victory over then-undefeated UTEP, but struggled to generate much-needed offense in a loss to UCF on the road. At that point head coach Tommy West made two key moves – DeAngelo Williams took the team on his shoulders and leading senior receiver Maurice Avery moved to quarterback.

With bowl hopes and a potential share in the C-USA East Division title on the line, costly mistakes against UCF left the Tigers with one more chance for post-season hopes on Senior Day versus Tulane. The squad came out with something to prove and earned the sixth win for bowl eligibility with a commanding 45-6 win over the Green Wave. • While the win over Tulane gave the Tigers something to celebrate, it was also a sad day for the Tiger family. Later that evening, the team learned that Murray Armstrong, who had served in many capacities with Tiger Athletics for 46 years, had lost his four-year battle with cancer. • Memphis was among 12 NCAA FBS teams that started the season with a 0-3 record in 2008. Of those 12 teams, only the Tigers and Rutgers played in bowl games. Rutgers entered the Papajohns.com Bowl with a 7-5 record, and Memphis went into the magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl with a 6-6 record. • In 2008, the Tigers were competing in the postseason for the fifth time in six years, and could count themselves among only 36 teams nationally who could make that claim of success. • Several Tigers received C-USA honors, including Brandon Pearce and Clinton McDonald who were named to the first team. Curtis Steele was selected to the second team and was also named the league’s Newcomer of the Year. Ronald Leary was selected to the All-C-USA Freshman Team. • Senior Brandon Patterson, who earned his master’s degree in Dec. ‘08, became the only Tiger football player to be named an Academic All-American two times in his career (2007-08). • While many Tiger fans may not recall the 2-10 record many years from now, they are sure to remember the 2009 season for Coach Tommy West being dismissed with three games remaining on the schedule and the impassioned speech he gave in his press conference announcing the firing. West was let go following the 56-28 loss at his alma mater, Tennessee, with the Tigers sitting at 2-7 and no chance of a return to the postseason.

Reagan is Memphis’ first AP all-American since DeAngelo Williams (2005, second-team), and was punting for the first time in his collegiate career in ‘09. Also named to the All-C-USA team were Calhoun (2nd) and Reagan (2nd), as well as Dontari Poe and Jamie McCoy, who were placed on the All-Freshman team. • On November 29, 2009, former Tiger running back (1990-93) Larry Porter was named as the 22nd head football coach at Memphis.
