YEAR-BY-YEAR PRESEASON ALL OVC

Anthony Pleasant Jim Lackey Charles Anthony

There has been a Tennessee State Univer-sity Football player on every Ohio Valley Conference pre and post-season squad since the Tigers became eligible for a championship in the league.

Anthony Pleasant highlights the list becoming the first preseason and post season All-OVC pick for the Tigers.

Jim Lackey was the first Tiger selected to three preseason squads while gaining post season honors twice.

The list of TSU All-OVC standouts con-tinued when Tyrone Butterfield was selected to the first team in 1997 for two positions, wide receiver and return spe-cialist. That season, he became the Tigers’ first OVC Offensive Player of the Year.

Leon Murray would follow winning the OVC Player of the Year Award in 1998. The next season, Lamar Carter accomplished a similar feat, becoming TSU Football’s first ever OVC Defensive Player of the Year in 1999.

Runningbacks Charles Anthony (2004) and Javarris Williams (2008) garnered OVC Offensive Player of the Year after re-ceiving first team selections. They bring TSU’s Player of the Year total to five.

In 2005, Williams became one of three OVC players to make either the first or second team in addition to the all new-comer squad. That season, the OVC be-gan recognizing first-year players with post season honors.

In 2008, Eugene Clifford became the first TSU defender named to both the All-OVC Second and Newcomer Teams at the end of the season.

For 2011, Rico Council became the first Tiger to receive OVC Preseason Player of the Year honors. He was later named the league’s Postseason Defensive Player of the Year.

GAME 1Sept. 3, 2011 • 13th Annual John Merritt Classic • LP Field • Nashville, Tenn. • 25,209

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State Tigers opened their 2011 football season with a resounding 33-7 win over the Jaguars of Southern University in the John Merritt Classic, played in front of 25,209 fans at Nashville’s LP Field.

TSU rolled up 512 yards of Total Offense (342 rushing, 170 passing), while limiting Southern to 300 yards of Total Offense (37 rushing, 263 passing). The 342 rushing is a JMC record eclipsing TSU’s 279 yards against Alabama State in 1999. The 512 yards of Total Offense ranks second (530 vs. Alabama State, 1999). Southern’s 37 yard rushing total was the second lowest by a team in the John Merritt Classic (13, Alabama A&M, 2009). The Tigers rolled up a JMC record 29 first downs (20 rushing, 8 passing, 1 penalty) while allowing just a record low 12 first downs by the Jaguars ( 1 rushing, 9 passing, 2 penalty).

Individually, several Tigers turned in stellar performances. Sophomore running back Trabis Ward had a career day rushing for 141 yards on 18 carries with 1 TD. Ward racked up 157 yards in All-Purpose yard-age. Senior safety Joe Wylie opened the TSU scoring with a 59 yard interception for a touchdown in the first quarter (9:58). Senior linebacker Rico Council led the Tigers’ defense, recording 9 (solo) tackles, with 3 tackles for loss (17), 2 sacks (12) and 1 interception (4).

On the game, Tennessee State put 13 points on the board in the first quarter after Wylie’s 59-yard inter-ception return (9:58) and Trabis Ward’s 5-yard touchdown blast (6:01) for a 13-0 lead after a missed PAT.

GAME 7Oct. 15, 2011 • Tucker Stadium • Cookeville, Tenn. • 8,676

Cookeville, Tenn. - It came down to the wire, but Tennessee State staved off a Tennessee Tech comeback as the Tigers captured a 42-40 victory over the 19th ranked Golden Eagles in front of 8,676 fans at Tucker Stadium.

Tennessee State (3-4, 2-2 OVC) led by as many as 22 points in the second half before TTU (4-2, 3-1 OVC) scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.

Tennessee Tech connected a 10-yard touchdown to cut the Tigers lead to 42-40 with 15 seconds remain-ing. The Golden Eagles initially recovered the onside kick attempt, but it was ruled that the kick did not reach 10 yards, giving the Tigers the ball and subsequently ending the game.

Saturday’s victory gave TSU a win over a ranked opponent for the first time since defeating No. 13 Eastern Illinois 21-10 on Nov. 19, 2009.

In total, TSU racked up 398 offensive yards with 232 from the air and 166 on the ground. The Tigers defense forced four turnovers to help catapult the Tigers to victory.

GAME 8Oct. 22, 2011 • Roy Kidd Stadium • Richmond, Ky. • 10,800

Richmond, Ky. - Defensive pressure and a strong Eastern Kentucky rushing attack pushed the Colonels to a 33-22 victory over Tennessee State University in front of 10,800 fans at Roy Kidd Stadium on Satur-day afternoon.

TSU (3-5, 2-3 OVC) took an early three point lead, but EKU (4-3, 3-1 OVC) never looked back taking a 14-6 advantage into the half. The Tigers cut the deficit to five points in the fourth quarter, but an EKU touchdown late in the game gave the Colonels their third consecutive victory.

EKU notched 21 of their points off of Tennessee State turnovers as the Colonels snapped a two-game losing skid to the Tigers. Offensively, Tennessee State put together 408 yards offense including 343 from the passing attack.

Senior Jeremy Perry completed nine passes for 194 yards and a touchdown. Perry connected on a career-long 89 yard pass to Calvin McNairl in the fourth quarter to the cut TSU’s deficit to 27-22 with eight minutes remaining.

The pass to McNairl was the longest for a TSU quarterback since Riley Walker’s 99-yard touchdown pass in 2004 against Jacksonville State. McNairl, a native of Paris, Tenn., caught six passes for a team-best 146 yards and a touchdown.

GAME 9Nov. 5, 2011 • O’Brien Field • Charleston, Ill. • 6,774

Charleston, Ill. - Tennessee State University used an all-around effort in the Tigers’ 18-17 victory over Eastern Illinois on Saturday afternoon at O’Brien Field. TSU tallied 13 points in the fourth quarter to pick up their fourth win of the season.

Tailback Trabis Ward added two rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter as the Tigers (4-5, 3-3 OVC) drove 70-plus yards on two drives to pick up a crucial road victory over EIU (2-8, 1-7 OVC) in front of 6,774 fans.

TSU put together a 15-play drive to make it a 17-12 contest with 14:28 left in the contest. With 1:49 remaining, the Tigers capped off a 77-yard drive with a Ward one-yard rushing touchdown. The defense used stealthy protection to force the Panthers to drop a fourth down pass, giving the Tigers the win.

Eastern Illinois failed on all five fourth down conversion attempts against the Tigers.

TSU grinded out 318 yards of offense overcoming two turnovers. The rushing attack proved solid as the Tigers netted 200 yards on the ground.

The Big Blue defense forced three fumbles and picked up an interception. Daniel Fitzpatrick once again led the Tigers with nine tackles and a half tackle-for- loss. Senior linebacker Rico Council notched four tackles, a tackle-for-loss and a pass breakup. Justin Bather and Joseph Wylie picked up fumble recoveries, while Wilson Robinson had his first career interception.

GAME 10Nov. 12, 2011 • LP Field • Nashville, Tenn. • 19,537

Nashville, Tenn. - Trailing by 17, Tennessee State University stormed back to score 21 points in the second half, defeating UT Martin 35-30 in front of 19,537 at the 2011 Homecoming held at LP Field.

It was the second week in a row that Tennessee State (5-5, 4-3) trailed double-digits, but found a way to pull out the victory. Last weekend TSU trailed by 14 to Eastern Illinois early in the fourth quarter before edging the Panthers, 18-17.

TSU took the lead with 6:34 left in the third quarter and never surrendered, despite UT Martin (5-5, 4-3) narrowing the gap on two occasions. The Skyhawks made it a 35-30 game with 2:55 left and recovered the onside kick.

However, Tennessee State used a strong defensive stand forcing a turnover on downs and earning a share of the Sgt. York Trophy for the first time since 2008. The trophy is battled out between the four OVC institutions in the state of Tennessee. If Austin Peay loses to Tennessee Tech next weekend, the Tigers will gain possession of the trophy. The win also gave the Tigers their first winning record in the OVC since 2008.

The Tigers totaled 516 yards, reaching 500+ yards of offense for the third time this season. The offensive attack was balanced, totaling 263 passing yards and 253 rushing yards.

Nashville, Tenn.- Tennessee State dropped the final game of the 2011 season to Jacksonville State Saturday afternoon in front of 6,137 fans at LP Field. The Gamecocks ended the Tigers hope for a share of the Ohio Valley Conference regular season title with a 38-16 loss.

The Tigers finished the season 5-6, 4-4 in the OVC. Jacksonville State improved to 7-4 and claimed a share of the OVC regular season championship at 6-2.

The Tigers were stopped on three plays to start the game, but Coach Rod Reed’s gamble of a fake punt paid off as freshman punter Matt Moseley completed an eight yard pass to Darrien Hanna at the TSU 44 to keep the drive alive. The Gamecocks would stand tall on the drive and create some early momentum which they turned into points on their first possession.

Redshirt-freshman Daniel Fitzpatrick led TSU in tackles for the fifth consecutive week with eight tackles, .5 for loss. Antonio Harper and Lawrence Peterson each recorded one sack.

Tennessee State did capture the Sgt. York trophy as Tennessee Tech defeated Austin Peay on Saturday afternoon. It is the third time the Tigers have held the trophy that goes to the annual winner of the quadrangular season series between the four OVC institutions from Tennessee.

The Tennessee State Tigers play two home

games in one of the nation’s finest sports

venues in LP Field, sharing the facility for home

games with the National Football League’s

Tennessee Titans.

The state-of-the-art facility has served as

home of the Tigers and the Titans since the

1999 season. LP Field is located on the east

bank of the Cumberland River in downtown

Nashville.

LP Field, which seats approximately 69,143

fans, boasts incredible amenities, ranging

from spacious and tastefully appointed locker

rooms to massive scoreboards. The natural

grass field was rated as the fourth best playing

surface in the NFL in a poll conducted among

league players in 2001.

LP Field has 144 luxury suites and 9,600 club

seats with access to the stadium club and club

lounges. There are also approximately 7,500

parking spaces on the site.

LP Field grounds are also designed to

help create a park-like setting along the

Cumberland River, not just a showplace for

bland concrete and asphalt. More than 205

trees have been planted on the 105-acre

campus.

Tiger fans gather early and stay late to enjoy

tailgating on LP Field grounds. In addition to

games featuring the Tigers and Titans. LP Field

also hosts college football’s annual Music City

Bowl in late December. LP Field hosts concerts

and other special events during the course of

a year.

In 2012, the Tigers will play their 14th season

at LP Field. Since beginning play in the state-

of-the-art NFL facility in 1999, the Tigers have

posted a 35-25 record in games played at LP

Field.

w.j. hale stadium“THE HOLE”

Hale Stadium is a 15,000-seat outdoor stadium located on the campus of Tennessee State University. Built in 1953 and affectionately nicknamed “The Hole”, the stadium hosted TSU Tigers football games until 1999, home games were then moved to LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans.

The facility was named for William J. Hale, who served as TSU’s first president. It remains in use as the site of TSU’s annual spring football game, as well as hosting Homecoming festivities.

The stadium hosted a second-round NCAA Division I-AA playoff

game in 1982, with the Tigers defeating Eastern Illinois University 20-19 in front of a crowd of 8,000. During their years at Hale, TSU Football went undefeated ten times, won ten championships in the now-defunct Midwestern Conference and claimed the Ohio Valley Conference championship in 1998, its final season in the stadium.

In the last game at Hale Stadium, Tennessee State won 28-14 over Texas Southern University on November 21, 1998.

In 2012, the Tigers return to ‘The Hole’ . TSU hosts three games starting with Austin Peay on Sept. 15.

TSU PLAYS THE CLASSICS


The John Merritt Classic, first played in 1999, honors John A. Mer-ritt, the legendary TSU football coach who led the Tigers from 1963 - 1983. During 21 seasons, “Big John” won four undisputed national championships among historically black colleges ranked by the Sheridan Poll, while compiling a lifetime record of 172-33-1.

The JMC, one of only two football Classics solely hosted by a single NCAA FCS institution, is intended to allow Tennessee State to raise funds for scholarships and other related needs for TSU students. The Classic also provides an opportunity for community outreach with its weekend of activities.

The 1950 TSU Football Team holding “The Little Brown Jug”. The Little Brown Jug is the symbol of victory between Tennessee State and Ken-tucky State. On one side is a huge white “T” representing TSU and the opposite side a bright gold “K” representing KSU.

JOHN MERRITT & BROWN JUG CLASSIC


In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University.

The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972.

In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games.

The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Following the war, York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927, he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today.

York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor.

After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the institution with the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie, the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy.

The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions which is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was created in 1999 and salutes amateur and professional sports in Tennessee.
