Racer Legends

In just two years at Murray State, Justin Fuente ranks in the top three for career passing yards, attempts, completions and touchdowns. In 1999, Fuente set single-season records for passing yards (3,498), attempts (400), completions (240) and touchdowns (27). Furente was selected as a finalist for the Walter Payton Award following the 1999 season. He tossed for over 300 yards in 10 of his 22 career games for the Racers.

Derrick Cullors rushed for a school-record 1,765 yards and 17 touchdowns in his All-America season of 1995. He eclipsed the 100-yard mark in nine of the 12 games, including rushing for over 200 yards against Western Illinois (253), Southeast Missouri (252) and Austin Peay (202). For his efforts, Cullors finished third in the voting for the Walter Payton Award.

Nathan Williams was a First-Team All-America selection in 2008 after he led the FCS by averaging 14.9 tackles per game. His 179 tackles established a new school record, while his 396 career tackles rank fourth all-time. Williams became the first finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award since 1996, finishing fifth in the voting.

Michael Proctor’s #11 was retired after his record-setting four-year career ending in 1989. He was a two-time All-OVC selection, and the 1989 OVC Player of the Year. He held 13 MSU and 11 OVC records when he graduated.

THE TRACKRoy Stewart Stadium, also known as The Track, has been the home of Racer football since 1973. Nearly 1.5 million fans have come through the gates, including a stadium record 16,600 for a game against Eastern Kentucky in 1981. The stadium has received several upgrades over the past few seasons, including new field turf prior to the 2007 season, and new chair back seats being installed for 2011.

STABLES

The Murray State locker room, which is known as the Stables, received a face lift during the offseason as the area was rearranged to optimize space. The lockers were reconfigured in rows to create room at the entrance, where two big screen TVs were installed. Lockers honoring the two retired jerseys at MSU, No. 10 Larry Tillmand and No. 11 Michael Proctor, were also installed at the end of the two center rows.

A tradition that dates back to 1976, a thoroughbred horse runs a lap around the Stewart Stadium track following every Racer touchdown. The original horse, Violet Cactus, is buried inside the stadium where the horse begins its run. Since 1985, each horse has carried the name Racer I.

500-200-200Murray State made history against Missouri State as the Racers became the first FCS program to have a 500-yard passer, 200-yard receiver and a 200-yard rusher in the same game. The Racers accomplished the feat in front of a rowdy Homecoming crowd as Casey Brockman threw for a school-record 570 yards, Marcus Harris had 213 yards receiving and Mike Harris rushed for 212 yards. Their performances were all part of a record day that saw the Racers set a new modern-day record for points (72) and yards (816).

Quarterbacks

After taking over the starting job towards the end of the previous two seasons, Casey Brockman enters the 2011 season as the clear-cut starter to lead the ‘Hatch Attack.’

Brockman enters the season rated as one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the FCS according to The Sports Network.

Despite starting just six games a season ago, Brockman completed 213-of-320 for 2,442 yards and 15 touchdowns, while only throwing six interceptions. The self proclaimed, wild horse, also rushed for 292 yards and seven touchdowns.

He mad the most of his first start of the season by throwing for a school record 570 yards and seven touchdowns. He followed that up by setting a single-game record for attempts (58) and completions (41) in a victory over Eastern Illinois.

Brockman nearly became the first quarterback to throw for more than 500 yards in a game twice, when he fell just short with a 497-yard passing performance against Austin Peay. He did add another record in the season finale as he became just the second signal caller in school history to pass for 300 yards and rush for a 100 yards when he went for 300 yards passing and 112 on the ground in a victory over Tennessee State.

Other than Brockman, the Racers do not have any experience at the quarterback position.

Redshirt freshman Graham Craig entered spring practice fourth on the depth chart, but emerged as the backup to Brockman.

Junior college transfer Spencer Phillips will enter fall camp just slightly behind Craig on the depth chart. Phillips went through spring practice after transferring from West Los Angeles Community College in January. As a sophomore, Phillips went 244-for-370 for 2,466 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also rushed for 322 yards and two more scores.

Running Backs

Unlike last season when the Racers entered the season with no depth in the backfield, MSU enters the 2011 season with one of the best one-two tandems in the FCS.

Senior Mike Harris burst onto the scene last season and nearly rushed for 1,000 yards in only eight games. He enters this season as the premier running back in the Ohio Valley Conference and among the top 10 running backs in the FCS according to The Sports Network.

Harris rushed for 904 yards and 10 touchdowns over nine games. He also caught 28 passes for 166 yards and a score.

Harris rushed for 119 yards in his first start against UT Martin, and then followed it up two games later by rushing for 212 yards and two touchdowns against Missouri State. The effort helped Harris to become a part of the first trio in FCS history to have a 500-yard passer, 200-yard rusher and a 200-yard receiver in the same game.

After a 159-yard, three touchdown effort against Eastern Illinois, Harris returned home two weeks later and rushed for 242 yards and a touchdown against Tennessee Tech.

Harris was poised to become just the 10th 1,000-yard rusher in school history, but a first-quarter injury against Austin Peay in the second-to-last game of the season proved to be the final carry of his 2010 campaign.

The Racers have a great compliment to Harris with the speedy Duane Brady returning for his sophomore season.

Brady needed little time in adjusting to the college game as he rushed for 288 yards and seven touchdowns in his first season of college football.

He got stronger as the season went on, and saved his best performance for when the team needed him most. After Harris went down against APSU, Brady carried the load for his first career 100-yard rushing performance by rushing 22 times for 114 yards and a pair of scores. He also added 53 yards on five receptions.

Brady does more than just carry the football, as he is one of top special team’s players on the roster. Brady plays on all the special teams and finished last season with 13 tackles and a fumble recovery.

Senior Tyler Lavea is a tough-nosed running back that provides quality depth to the Racer backfield.

Last season, Lavea rushed for 52 yards on 13 carries. He had his best game in the season finale against Tennessee State as he rushed for 28 yards on seven carries, while also hauling in a 14-yard pass.

Season Outlook

Wide Receivers

The only area the Racer offense will need to replace a starter is at the wide receiver position. MSU will have to replace two starters on the outside, including the school’s all-time leading receiver, All-American Marcus Harris.

Sophomore Arthur Brackett returns after putting together one of the best freshman campaigns in school history. He finished last season by setting a MSU freshman record with 62 catches for 617 yards and three touchdowns.

He caught at least five passes in each of the first seven games, including a freshman-record13 against Jacksonville State. He also caught touchdown passes in each of his first two collegiate games.

Sophomore Walter Powell may have shown the most improvement in spring practice and has emerged as one of the top threats on the outside.

Probably the fastest of the Racer receivers, Powell caught just three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown a season ago.

Senior Dexter Barnett made the transition from running back to wide receiver last season and finished with 38 catches for 332 yards and four touchdowns.

Barnett had his best game against Missouri State when he caught five passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns. His biggest catch of the season came in the finale when he caught a 65-yard pass early in the second half to help the Racers rally for a victory over Tennessee State.

Seniors Hannibal Beauford and Dexter Durrante provide strong depth and experience in the spread offense. Both players caught 12 passes last season.

The biggest acquisitor this season may be the return of Patrick Robertson. Robertson missed the 2010 season due to academics.

Robertson has the size and the hands to be one of the dominant receivers in the OVC this season. Over his two years, Robertson has 38 catches for 283 yards and a touchdown.

Much like Robertson, Ja-Vonta Trotter returns the field after being sidelined due to academics in 2010.

Trotter is a smaller, shiftier receiver who has caught 27 passes for 125 yards and a score in his career.

Offensive Line

The offensive line was one of the biggest question marks entering last season. When it was all said and done, one college football blog rated the Racers as one of the top five offensive lines in the FCS.

This season, the Racers return all five starting offensive linemen that allowed just 16 sacks in 515 passing attempts.

The offensive line helped the Racers amass nearly 5,000 yards of total offense, with nearly 3,500 yards coming through the air.

The unit helped the Racer ground attack rush for over 200 yards in three games, including rushing for 300 yards in the victory over Tennessee Tech.

Junior Brock Rydecki returns at the center spot after starting the final 10 games of last season.

Junior Andy Mahoney returns at right guard after starting all 11 games a season ago.

Senior Elbert Ojendis began last season as a backup at both tackle spots, but spent the final three games as the starter at left guard.

The tackle positions were constant throughout the season as the duo of Roderick Tomlin and Raymond Hopson combined to start 13 of the 14 contests.

The junior Tomlin has been a mainstay on the offensive line as he has started the last 15 games. Senior Hopson has started 21 games during his career at MSU.

Sophomore Harris Bivin provides depth at the center and guard positions.

Defensive Line

Strength in numbers is the approach that the Racers take with their defensive line. MSU returns eight players that were in the regular rotation a season ago.

Senior defensive end Jamal Crook returns for his fourth season as a starter along the defensive front. Over his first three years, Crook has posted 5.5 sacks and 18 tackles-for-loss.

Senior Richard Biers emerged from spring practice as the starter on the end opposite of Crook. Biers posted 12 tackles and forced a fumble in 11 games a season ago.

Sophomores Jeremy Brackett and Ayo Ojolola will serve as backups at the end positions after seeing quality snaps in their true-freshman seasons.

Senior Joe Gamsky emerged last season as a force in the middle, and continued his work this spring. Gamsky tied for the team lead with 3.5 sacks, while ranking second with eight tackles-for-loss. He also forced two fumbles and had three quarterback hurries.

Junior college transfer Chris Staten transferred at semester and will battle Gamsky for playing time at defensive tackle. Staten came from Harper Community College where he had 10 tackles-for-loss and three sacks a season ago.

Senior Lamar Theus hopes to stay healthy and provide plenty of experience to the defensive front. Theus posted 30 tackles, including 4.5 for loss a season ago.

Senior Ryan Walker emerged from spring practice as the starter at nose tackle. Walker posted 21 tackles in his first season as a Racer in 2010.

Junior Tyler Evans returns for his fourth year on the defensive front. Evans posted 3.5 tackles-for-loss a season ago, and has 5.5 in his career.

Linebackers

The hardest hit part of the Racer defense is the linebacking corps. MSU lost three players that started at least six games a season ago.

Sophomore Blake Salter emerged from spring drills as the starter at middle linebacker. Salter saw action in all games a season ago, including earning the start against Kent State and UT Martin.

Season Outlook

Page 33: 2011 Murray State Football Media Guide

31

Sophomore Brandon Wicks will make the move to outside linebacker this season after starting 11 games at strong safety last season.

As a true freshman, Wicks led the team with 73 tackles. He also added two tackles-for-loss, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, three pass break-ups and an interception.

Senior Andre Clarke returns for his second season, after starting six games a season ago. Clarke posted 29 stops in 2010, including 6.5 tackles-for-loss.

Senior Darrell Davis has made the switch to outside linebacker this season. Davis served as the team’s nickel back in 2010. Davis’ best game of his career came against Tennessee Tech last season as he made eight stops, including a sack and a forced fumble in the victory.

Just like Wicks, TJ Denson will remove to outside linebacker in 2011. Denson saw action as a safety last year, and finished the season with 22 tackles and a forced fumble.

Corners

The Racers will be much improved on the outside this season with added depth and experience at corner back.

Dontrell Johnson returns for his second season as a starter. Johnson posted 67 tackles and two interceptions on his way to earning second-team all-OVC honors. He also added eight pass break-ups, and blocked a pair of kicks against Tennessee Tech.

Probably the most improved player in spring practice was sophomore Darrian Skinner. Skinner saw time as both a receiver and a defensive back last season, but enters this season as a starter on the outside.

Season OutlookSkinner has the rare distinction of starting a game on each side of the ball in the same season. He finished last season strong with five tackles and a pass break-up over the final three games.

Junior college transfer Victor Daniels transferred last semester and got adjusted to the college game in spring practice. Daniels came from Butler County Community College where he earned All-America honors in helping the Grizzlies reach the national championship game.

Sophomore Raquan Durrante moved up the depth chart at cornerback during the spring. After battling knee injuries in his first year, Durrante saw more playing time as the 2010 season wore on, posting a tackle against Tennessee Tech.

Safeties

The Racers will be experienced at the safety positions as they return a pair of seniors in Erik Fennell and Nathan Brinkley.

Fennell has been a starter at free safety the last two seasons, ranking among the team leader in tackles both seasons. He has posted 127 tackles over that span, including 67 solo stops.

Brinkley moves to his more natural position of strong safety, after starting the last two seasons at corner. He led the team with three interceptions last season, while ranking fourth on the team with 62 tackles.

Junior college transfer Darius Buck will push for a starting spot in the defensive backfield after transferring from Southwest Mississippi Community College in January. Buck earned all-state honors last season after finishing with 72 tackles.

Special Teams

The Racers should once again be strong in the kicking game as they return three-time all-OVC punter and kicker Kienan Cullen.

Cullen earned first-team all-OVC kicker honors last season after connecting on a career-best 15 field goals. He also averaged 60.2 yards per kickoff, and finished the season with 11 touchbacks.

As a punter, Cullen, averaged 40.8 yards on 48 punts. He booted eight punts over 50 yards, including a long of 57, while having 10 punts downed inside the 20-yard line.

Sophomore Bobby Neal returns as the team’s long snapper. Neal posted four tackles on punt coverage last season.

The return game will also be a strength again with the return of All-America punt returner Dontrell Johnson. Johnson led the FCS last season by averaging 22.8 yards per punt return. He also took a school-record two punts back for touchdowns in becoming the first player in MSU history to earn All-America honors as a punt returner.

As a team, the Racers led the FCS with a 19.7 yard punt return average.

On kickoff returns, Johnson averaged 20.2 yards on 16 returns.

Senior Hannibal Beauford will return kickoffs for the second-straight season. Beauford led the Racers by averaging 23.3 yards on 15 returns last season.

Very few schools in the country can boast the kind of coaching tradition that has taken up residence at Murray State University, especially in the last 25 years. Consider the men who in recent history have guided the Racers on the football field:

• Mike Gottfried left Murray State to coach at Kansas and Pittsburgh before becoming one of the top college football television analysts in the country while working for ESPN.

• Frank Beamer left Murray State for his alma mater, Virginia Tech, where he guided the Hokies to a spot in the national championship game against Florida State in 2000, earning several national coach of the year awards.

• Houston Nutt took the Racers to unprecedented heights before leaving to restore the winning tradition at Arkansas, and now Ole Miss.

Now the torch is carried by a coach who has proven to be a winner and has all the makings of becoming the next Murray State football head coaching legend....Chris Hatcher.

The Chris Hatcher era officially began at Murray State, Dec. 21, 2009, when Director of Athletics Allen Ward introduced Hatcher as the 17th head coach in front of a standing-room only crowd inside the Murray Room.

Success has followed Hatcher throughout his career, as the former Division II National Player of the Year has garnered an overall record of 100-32 in his 11 years as a head coach. Included in those 11 seasons are six trips to postseason, two appearances in the National Championship game and the 2004 Division II National Championship.

Hatcher’s wide-open style of offense, known as the ‘Hatch Attack,’ quickly won the hearts of the Murray community, while giving opposing defensive coordinators nightmares.

The Racer offense led the Ohio Valley Conference in passing offense, total offense and scoring offense, while ranking fourth nationally in passing offense, fifth in total offense and fifth in scoring offense.

Hatcher is also one that is not scared to roll the dice as the Racers attempted and converted more fourth-down conversions than any other team in the FCS.

After getting off to a slow start, Hatcher led the Racers to a 52-16 victory over UT Martin that paved the way for a season-ending stretch that saw MSU win six of its final eight games.

The ‘Hatch Attack’ was on fully display on Homecoming as the Racers set a modern-day scoring record, while racking up 816 yards in a thrilling come-from-behind, 72-59, victory over Missouri State. The offensive explosion helped the Racers set 25 school, conference or NCAA records,

including becoming the first school in FCS history to have a 500-yard passer, 200-yard receiver and a 200-yard rusher in the same game.

Quarterback Casey Brockman, making his first start of the season, threw for a school-record 570 yards and seven touchdowns. Wide receiver Marcus Harris hauled in nine passes for 213 yards and a school-record five touchdowns, while running back Mike Harris had 30 carries for 212 yards and two touchdowns.

The Racers went on to win the final three games of the season, outscoring their opponents, 133-71. MSU finished the season with a 6-5 record, 5-3 in the OVC, to secure the first winning season since 2004.

The victory over Tennessee State in the season finale was the 100th in the career for Hatcher. The victory made Hatcher the fifth youngest coach, youngest in the 21st century, to record 100 coaching victories. At 37 years and 274 days at the time of the victory, Hatcher ranks just behind Pop Warner and ahead of Amos Alonso Stagg.

Hatcher came to MSU after a three-year stint at Georgia Southern, where he led the Eagles to an 18-15 record and a 12-11 mark in the competitive Southern Conference.

In his first season with the Eagles in 2007, Hatcher led GSU to the second-best regular season turnaround in program history, a plus-4 improvement from 2006. The Eagles ranked among the national leaders in various categories on offense, defense and special teams. He also coached five All-America players, including quarterback Jayson Foster, the second Walter Payton award winner at GSU.

The Eagles returned to the national rankings after a 14-week hiatus as the Hatcher era got off to a 4-1 start. GSU climbed as high as No. 11, after the Eagles recorded three-straight victories at No. 5 Appalachian State, ending the Mountaineers 30-game home winning streak, at home against No. 25 The Citadel and at No. 10 Wofford.

The prolific offense ranked first in rushing, eighth in total offense, eighth in scoring offense and 23rd in sacks allowed. The defense was 14th in turnover margin and 17th in fumbles recovered, while the special teams ranked 25th in net punting.

The 2008 season saw Hatcher guide the Eagles to the program’s 25th winning season in 27 years.

In late October, the Eagles set an NCAA record for the largest fourth-quarter comeback as GSU erased a 31-3 deficit for a thrilling 38-31 overtime victory at Western Carolina. The OT contest was just the first of an NCAA record four overtime games played by the Eagles in 2008.

The ‘Hatch Attack’ provided impressive numbers in all three phases. The offense ranked 20th nationally in passing and scoring, while the defense ranked 26th in sacks and 22nd in

tackles-for-loss. The special teams units finished 14th in punt returns and 36th in kickoff returns.

All of this was done as Hatcher and his staff were forced to play in upwards of 30 freshman on a consistent basis throughout the season. In all, five Eagles received all-league honors and seven freshman representing offense, defense and special

teams were named to the inaugural SoCon All-Freshman Team.

Prior to his time at GSU, Hatcher molded Valdosta State into one of the most dominant teams in Division II.

The winningest coach in Blazers’ history, Hatcher was 76-12 at his alma mater. When Hatcher took over as head coach in 2000, he wasted no time molding the Valdosta State program into the ‘Hatch Attack’. In his first year back at VSU, Hatcher took a 4-7 squad the previous year and turned it around to a 10-2 record (8-1 in GSC action) and a berth in the Division II playoffs. He coached quarterback Dusty Bonner, who was a two-time winner of the Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year, an award Hatcher won himself in 1994.

His 2001 and 2002 teams posted back-to-back undefeated records during the regular season, part of a Gulf South Conference record 35 straight victories during the regular season.

During the 2004 championship season, the Blazers lost their season-opener before rattling off 13 consecutive victories, capped by a 36-31 victory over Pittsburg State in the title game. Hatcher was named ‘National Coach of the Year’ by the American Football Coaches Association and was the offensive coordinator for the East squad at the Hula Bowl.

In 2005, Valdosta opened the season ranked No. 1 for four-straight weeks and saw the season culminate with a sixth-straight NCAA postseason appearance. Despite an 8-2 record in 2006, the 10th-ranked Blazers did not receive an invitation to the playoffs, marking the first time that occurred in the Hatcher era.

The 2006 team finished sixth nationally in passing offense (283 yards per game), 12th in scoring offense (34.9 ppg) and 19th in total offense (389.9 yards). However, Hatcher’s teams have been successful in all three facets. The 2006 defense ranked 27th nationally in scoring defense (15.7 points allowed) while the special teams ranked third in punt returns (17.3 yards) and blocked seven kicks.

Head CoachThe Macon (Ga.) native spent one year

as quarterbacks/tight ends coach at the University of Central Florida where he worked with Miami Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper. He then spent three years working with the quarterbacks at the University of Kentucky where he worked under former VSU head coach Hal Mumme. During his time with the Wildcats, he coached the No. 1 NFL draft pick, All-America quarterback Tim Couch.

While at UK, Hatcher and the Wildcats played in the 1999 Outback Bowl, the program’s first New Year’s Day Bowl in 47 years, then followed that the following year with a berth in the ’99 Music City Bowl. It marked the first time the Wildcats had consecutive bowl appearances in 15 years.

Hatcher carried his success on the playing field to help him develop into one of the nation’s winningest coaches. A two-time All-American quarterback at VSU (1993 and 1994), Hatcher threw for 11,363 yards and 121 touchdowns during his stellar career. During his senior year in 1994, he led the Blazers to their first postseason berth, advancing to the quarterfinals, and when it was all said and done set 29 VSU passing and total offense records.

Among the national records he once set were a 68.5 career completion percentage and streak of 20-straight completions in a game against New Haven. Hatcher held 14 Valdosta State, 13 Gulf South Conference and 17 Division II national records. He also started 41 consecutive games, posting a 29-10-2 record.

Not only did Hatcher excel on the field, he was just as successful in the classroom. Twice he received the Gulf South Conference’s Commissioner’s Troply which is awarded to the league’s Most Outstanding Student-Athlete. He finished his senior year by winning several national honors including: the NCAA Top Eight Award, the CoSIDA Academic All-America National Player of the Year and a postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame.

What They Are Saying AboutChris Hatcher

“Chris is a great coach and a tremendous over achiever. He has a lot to offer and will do great things at Murray State. I like to call him ‘the General” because he knows how to lead and how to win. I have always been interested in hiring him, but he wants to run his own show and he has done a tremendous job.”

Mike Leach, Former head coach at Texas Tech

“Chris played for me and later worked along side me. He is a great coach and an even better person. Chris possess a great mind and I believe he will be very successful at Murray State. Murray State made a great choice in hiring Chris Hatcher.”

Hal Mumme, Former head coach at Kentucky and Valdosta State

“Chris is a great person and an outstanding coach that will represent himself in a first-class manner. He was on the right track with things at Valdosta State and Georgia Southern, and there is no doubt that he will have Murray State as a force to be reckoned with in the Ohio Valley Conference.”

Will Muschamp, TexasDefensive Coordinator/Coach in Waiting

“Coach Hatcher is probably one of the best coaches that I had throughout any level of football (high school, college or NFL). He came to UK with Coach (Hal) Mumme and they installed the passing offense that guided me to the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.”

Tim Couch No. 1 pick in NFL Draft

At the time when Hatcher won the Harlon Hill Trophy, he won by the second-largest voting margin in the then-19-year history of the award. Hatcher was also voted the GSC Football team of the 1990s.

The honors continued to add up even after his playing days. Hatcher was named to the Valdosta State University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001, in his first year of eligibility. The personable head coach was also elected into the Macon Sports Hall of Fame the same year.

In 2005, Hatcher was inducted into the Division II Hall of Fame.

Hatcher graduated from Valdosta State in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education.

He and his wife, Lori, also a graduate of VSU, are the parents of a son, Ty, and daughter, Talley.

Shawn Bostick enters his second season as the assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Murray State.

Bostick has been alongside Chris Hatcher since their playing days at Valdosta State.

In his first season with the Racers, Bostick took an offensive line that was considered a work in progress, and turned them into one of the top offensive lines in the Ohio Valley Conference.

In fact, one national FCS blog tabbed the Racer offensive line as the best in the OVC, and one of the top five offensive fronts in all of the FCS.

The right side of the line, guard Andy Mahoney and tackle Roderick Tomlin, started all 11 games in 2010, while center Brock Rydecki started the final 10 games of the season. On the left side, tackle Raymond Hopson made 10 starts, while Elbert Ojendis took over at guard the final three games of the season.

The Racer offensive line, which did not feature a senior, allowed just 16 sacks in 515 pass attempts. The unit helped the Racers to rank in the top five nationally in passing offense, total offense and scoring offense.

Bostick came to MSU after serving as the offensive line coach at Georgia Southern the previous three seasons.

The 2009 offensive line featured three underclassmen on a unit that gained 279.4 yards a game of total offense, including 96.5 yards a game on the ground.

In 2008, the GSU offensive line had the formidable task of replacing all five starters, including two All-Americans. Despite not having a single lineman receive All-Southern Conference honors, the offense still ranked 20th nationally in passing offense, 20th in scoring offense and 37th in total offense.

During his first year on staff, Bostick inherited a talented and experienced offensive line, and built on that. Two linemen earned First-Team All-America honors, guard Marcelo Estrada and tackle Russell Orr. Both were named All-Southern Conference, along with tackle Brad Williams. They paved the way for the backs as once again Georgia Southern led the nation in rushing offense.

In fact, the Eagles ranked eighth nationally in total offense and scoring offense. When the offense needed a clutch play, the linemen helped pave the way as GSU finished first nationally in fourth down conversions. The linemen played a big role in fewest sacks allowed, finishing 23rd nationally.

His arrival in Statesboro, Ga. ended an 18-year affiliation with Valdosta State, from his playing days to then assistant coach.

Bostick served as assistant head coach in charge of the offensive line for eight years at VSU. His O-Line was part of one of the most productive offensive units in Division II.

In 2006, the Blazers ranked 20th nationally in total offense (390 yards/game), sixth in passing offense (283 yards), ninth in scoring offense (35 points) and 21st in team passing efficiency (145.38).

Bostick was part of the 2004 National Championship team and the national runner-up in 2002. During his tenure, Bostick coached three All-America selections (Jason King, Tully Payne and Torrey Howard) and eight who were named All-Gulf South Conference. Over the previous seven years, the offense scored 50 or more points 17 times.

The offensive line played a vital role in the success at Valdosta State. During Coach Hatcher’s seven year stint in charge, the offense averaged more than 32 points per game in six seasons. Every year the offense totaled at least 380 yards per game.

As a former walk-on who eventually earned a scholarship, Bostick was a three-year letterwinner from 1991-93. During the 1993 campaign in which the Blazers finished 8-3, Bostick was the starting center on an offensive line that allowed only 10 sacks of Chris Hatcher.

From 1994-95 he worked as a student assistant coach under Hal Mumme. Bostick was part of the 1994 coaching staff, leading Valdosta State to its first-ever playoff appearance.

In 1996 he worked with the running backs, as the Blazers won their first conference championship. During the 1997 campaign, he served as a graduate assistant coach under Mike Kelley, returning to the offensive line. The next season, he moved into his first full-time coaching position and worked with the offensive line every year since.

One of Bostick’s players, two-year starter Richard Collier, went to the NFL and was with the Jacksonville Jaguars until he was tragically injured.

A 1997 graduate of Valdosta State, Bostick received his bachelor’s degree in Education.

He and his wife, Sheila, have a daughter, Emma, and a son, Walker.

Ashley Anders enters his second season as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for the Racers. He will also be in charge of kickoff coverage.

In his first season with the Racers, Anders led a defense that ranked third nationally in tackles-for-loss (8.45). The 93 TFL ranked as the third highest total over the past two decades. The defense also set a school record with 24 quarterback hurries.

The linebacking corps combined for 28 tackles-for-loss, with middle linebacker Zach Kutch leading the way with nine. Harry McCall added seven stops behind the line, while Andre Clarke chipped in 6.5.

Anders came to Murray after spending the previous three seasons as the defensive coordinator at Georgia Southern.

In 2009, Anders’ defensive unit led the Southern Conference with 14 forced fumbles and tied for third in the league with 11 interceptions.

Defensive lineman Brent Russell and Markeith Wylie combined for 22 tackles-for-loss and nine sacks in earning second-team all-SoCon honors.

During the 2008 season, Anders coached two All-Americans in Chris Covington (linebacker) and Dakota Walker (defensive end). Covington, who began the season in the secondary, moved to Anders’ linebacker unit in week five and would go on and rank among the Southern Conference leaders in tackles for loss (second SoCon, tied 40th nationally) and sacks (third SoCon, tied 39th nationally). Walker not only led the SoCon in sacks but finished tied for 12th nationally.

When Covington was named SoCon ‘Defensive Player of the Year’ by the Sports Media Association, he became the third player in Eagle history to accomplish the feat, and first since 2001. Both he and Walker earned First Team All-SoCon honors.

The Eagle defense, playing as many as nine true-freshmen on a consistent basis, saved their best performance for last in a 17-10 win at 14th-ranked Furman to close out the season with a winning record. The 10 points allowed were the fewest by an opponent since October 2005.

The defense saw a league-best four rookies named to the inaugural SoCon All-Freshman Team. As a defensive unit, the Eagles ranked 22nd nationally averaging 7.0 tackles for a loss and 26th recording 2.4 sacks per game.

Not only did Anders’ defensive unit rank among the SoCon leaders, the kickoff coverage team set the standard. Led by Patrick Bolen, the Eagles led the SoCon in net kickoff yards forcing opponents to start on their own 25 yard line.

During the 2007 season the Eagles’ defense ranked 14th nationally in turnover margin (+1.09). That impressive average was tied into the team’s 56th ranking in interceptions, 17th in fumble recoveries and 37th in turnovers gained. Overall, the defensive unit recorded 65 tackles-for-loss, 19 sacks, 11 interceptions and 56 pass break-ups.

Prior to Georgia Southern, Anders spent five years working on Chris Hatcher’s staff at Valdosta State. During his final four years, he served as the defensive coordinator and was in charge of the kickoff teams.

During his tenure as defensive coordinator, the Blazers qualified for the NCAA playoffs three times and posted a 40-8 record. They finished no worse than third place in the always tough Gulf South Conference, including titles in 2002 and 2004, and a pair of runner-up finishes.

At a place known for its offensive production, Anders’ defensive unit was equally impressive. In 2006, the Blazers defense allowed just 15.7 points a game, 25th best in Division II. VSU ranked 35th nationally in total defense (270 yards/game), while totaling 24 takeaways in 10 games. The unit recorded 69 tackles-for-loss, 22 sacks, 13 interceptions and 38 pass break-ups.

When VSU played for the 2004 National Championship, Anders and defensive staff went up against one of the most explosive offenses in NCAA history. Pittsburg State had set NCAA records, for all divisions, in scoring offense (57.6 ppg) and total offense (616 yards/game). Anders’ defensive scheme held the Gorilla offense to just 31 points en route to the title.

The 2004 defense led the nation in turnover margin, registering 34 takeaways and a plus-20 margin.

While at VSU, Anders’ linebackers earned six All-Gulf South Conference honors, including all three during the 2002 campaign. Three of his defensive players (Spencer Fortson, Tim Thompson and Sherard Reynolds) earned All-America status and Thompson eventually signed with the Tennessee Titans. Linebacker Maurice Leggett (2002-03) is currently playing defensive back for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Anders spent two years at Holmes Community College prior to arriving at Valdosta, coaching the linebackers, secondary and special teams. While at HCC, he coached All-America Deral Slay, who went on to play at South Carolina.

He spent a year and a half at Auburn as a graduate assistant coach (1999-2000), coaching the defensive backs and special teams during the 1999 season.

In 1996, he started his coaching career at Star City (Arkansas) High School. During his time, he served three years as head basketball coach and assistant football; and one year as assistant baseball, assistant strength and conditioning, as well as one year as head strength coach. During his last season at Star City, he served as the football program’s defensive coordinator. In his year as the assistant strength coach, his weightlifting team won a state title.

A native of Hampton, Arkansas, he was a three-sport athlete (football, basketball and baseball) earning all-district and all-conference honors as a defensive back in football and a pitcher in baseball. He played baseball at Arkansas-Monticello, where he helped the team capture the AIC conference title and qualify for the NAIA regionals.

He received his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from Arkansas-Monticello in 1996, and his master’s in sports administration from Auburn in 2000.

Anders and his wife, Sheri, have three children: Mary Alex, Cade and Camden.

Mitch Stewart enters his second season at Murray State, and the first as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Stewart takes over an offense that ranked in the top five nationally in passing offense, total offense and scoring offense.

The offense will be led by an experienced signal caller, in junior Casey Brockman. He started the final six games of last season, setting single-game records for attempts, completions, yards and touchdowns.

Brockman enters this season as one of the Top 10 quarterbacks in the FCS, according to The Sports Network. He is also one of 20 preseason candidates for the 2011 Walter Payton Award.

Stewart spent the 2010 season as the wide receivers coach for the Racers.

Under his guidance, two Racer receivers re-wrote the single-season record books.

Senior Marcus Harris missed two games with injury, but still manage to catch 84 passes for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. He ranked second on the single-season list for receptions, tied for second in yards and tied for eighth in touchdowns. Harris also left MSU as the all-time leader in receptions (216) and yards (2,471), while tieing fourth in touchdowns (19).

Harris ended his career with four-straight 100-yard performances on his way to earning Second-Team All-America honors from the Associated Press and The Sports Network.

Freshman Arthur Brackett was the compliment to Harris, as he established a new freshman record with 62 catches for 617 yards and three touchdowns. He caught a touchdown pass in each of his first two games, and later added 13 catches against Jacksonville State. The 13 receptions falls just two shy of the FCS freshman record.

Stewart came to Murray after spending the previous three seasons as a member of the Georgia Southern coaching staff. While at GSU, Stewart worked with the wide receivers and handled team travel.

In 2009, a pair of true freshman made immediate impacts as Jamere Valentine caught 51 passes and Patrick Barker added 40, ranking second and third, respectively, on the school’s single-season receptions list.

In his second season, the Eagles offense led the SoCon and ranked 20th nationally in passing offense. That also helped GSU finish 20th nationally in scoring offense and 37th in total offense.

The speedy receiver corps accounted for the majority of the team’s 42 receptions of 30-plus yards. Wide receiver Raja Andrews shattered three season records, one single-game mark and the career receptions record.

From 2001-05, Stewart played quarterback at Valdosta State. He was part of the 2002 national runner-up squad and 2004 National Championship team. Stewart earned the start in the first round playoff game his senior year.

After his playing days (Spring 2006), Stewart served as a graduate assistant coach for the Blazers, working with the quarterbacks.

In the summer of 2006, he took a job at Newnan High School, assisting the offensive coordinator in implementing the Blazers’ offense. That fall, Newnan won its first region title in 14 years and qualified for the state playoffs.

A standout quarterback at Northgate High School in Newnan, Ga., Stewart helped instrument one of the biggest turnarounds in the state. Following a 1-9 sophomore year, Northgate went 7-3 his junior year, earning the title as most improved team in Georgia, and qualified for the playoffs. In his final year, Stewart led Northgate to an 11-2 record.

Stewart received his bachelor’s degree in business education from Valdosta State in 2005 and began work on a master’s degree.

He and his wife, Rikki, are the proud parents of daughter, Stella, born July 4, 2011.

Keith Hatcher enters his second season on his cousin Chris’ staff at Murray State. He serves as the secondary coach and recruiting coordinator, while also handling the punt return team.

Under Hatcher’s tutelage, the 2010 Racers led the country with a 19.7 yard punt return average. The Racers also returned two punts for touchdowns.

Returner Dontrell Johnson spearheaded the unit, as he led the country with a 22.8 yard return average. He became the first Racer to return two punts for a touchdown in a season, and also became the first punt returner to earn All-America accolades when he was honored by The Sports Network.

Johnson was also honored by the College Football Performance Awards when he was named the 2010 FCS Elite Punt Returner.

Johnson also intercepted a pair of passes, including returning one for a touchdown, in earning second-team all-OVC honors as a defensive back.

True-freshman Brandon Wicks started 10 games in the secondary and ended the season with a team-best 73 tackles.

Hatcher joins the Racer coaching staff after serving the previous three years as the secondary coach, recruiting coordinator and director of football operations at Georgia Southern.

In 2009, the Eagle secondary held opponents to 214.6 yards a game and tied for third in the Southern Conference with 11 interceptions.

Rover Darius Eubanks ranked second on the team in tackles and tied for the team lead with two forced fumbles. Corner Laron Scott was third on the team in tackles and ranked second in the SoCon with 11 pass break-ups.

The 2008 defensive backs underwent a near-complete makeover from the beginning of the season as All-American Chris Covington moved to linebacker and true-freshmen emerged into the starting lineup. By the end of the season, the secondary was starting a pair of true-freshman and a sophomore.

Two of the Eagles, Derek Heyden and K.R. Snipes, earned a spot on the SoCon All-Freshman Team. In fact, it was Snipes that came up with the game-clinching interception late in the Furman game to secure the 17-10 win over the 14th-ranked Paladins and record the programs’ 25th winning season. The secondary accounted for all but one of the team’s interceptions and broke up 29 more passes.

Hatcher also oversaw the punt return unit at GSU. In 2008, Raja Andrews ranked 12th nationally, averaging 14 yards per punt return. The return unit tied a program record with two returns for touchdown (at Chattanooga, vs. Appalachian State).

Hatcher had to make unprecedented adjustments in the secondary throughout the 2007 season as half of the opening-day two-deep were

out over the final month of the season. Two former offensive players started at the end of the year and two more saw significant playing time. Covington would not only earn all-SoCon honors, but Honorable Mention All-America accolades as well.

The secondary accounted for 10 interceptions and recorded 56 pass break-ups.

After spending three years in private business as an investment advisor specialist, Hatcher decided to join in the family footsteps and enter the coaching profession.

He joined his cousin’s staff at Valdosta State as a graduate assistant in 2003, before moving on to serve two years on the staff at Alabama-Birmingham. He spent the 2004 season and the 2005 spring season working under former defensive coordinator Wayne Bolt.

Hatcher returned to VSU in 2005, where he worked with the secondary and served as the director of football operations and summer camps for two seasons.

In 2006, the Blazers defense ranked 25th in the nation, after allowing just 15.7 points per game. VSU ranked 35th nationally in total defense (270 yards/game), while totaling 24 takeaways in 10 games. The defense also recorded 69 tackles-for-loss, 22 sacks, 13 interceptions and 38 pass break-ups.

The 2006 season was Hatcher’s first in charge of the punt rush. His special team squad blocked seven punts and returned three for a touchdown, leading the league in blocks and punt return yardage.

During his tenure, Hatcher coached All-America free safety and all-GSC punt returner Sherard Reynolds.

Hatcher was a two-sport athlete at Mars Hill, where he earned four letters in baseball and two in football. His success was not limited to the playing field as he was a four-time Academic All-Conference pick in baseball and twice earned the honor in football.

He received his bachelor’s degree in business administration and sports management from Mars Hill College in 2000.

Hatcher, like cousin Chris, was a standout athlete at Mount de Sales Academy in Macon, Ga. He is married to Ashley and are the proud parents of a son, Ace.

Sean Dawkins begins his second season as the running backs coach at Murray State. Dawkins has also added the title of run-game coordinator for the 2011 season.

Dawkins’ first season with the Racers saw him mentor one of the best running backs to come through the program in recent history in Mike Harris.

Despite missing, or the majority, of four games, Harris rushed for 904 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was named to the all-OVC first team, and ranked 21st nationally at 100.44 yards per game.

Mike Polly enters his second season as an assistant coach at Murray State, working with the offensive line.

Polly has added the responsibilities of special teams coordinator in 2011. Polly’s primary focus with special teams will be with the punt unit and kickoff return.

Polly saw consistency with his tackles in 2010, as Roderick Tomlin started all 11 games at right tackle, while Raymond Hopson started 10 games at left tackle. The duo anchored the line that allowed just 16 sacks in 515 pass attempts. The Racers allowed one sack or fewer in eight games.

SUL ROSS STATE

MURRAY STATE 21

TANGERINE BOWLThe Murray State Thoroughbreds took their

9-1 record into their first and only bowl game appearance. MSU traveled to Orlando, Fla., for a Tangerine Bowl encounter with Sul Ross State of Alpine, Texas.

Murray State entered the game having outscored its opponents 259-65 during the regular season. MSU was led by halfbacks Winfred Dill and Joe Bronson, and end Bob Sanders, who doubled as the team’s kicker and booted a school-record 27 extra points.

Sul Ross featured a massive lineman, Dan Blocker. The 6-4, 270-pound Blocker would later achieve fame in the role of Hoss Cartwright on the TV series “Bonanza.”

Though Murray State stopped the Lobos when John Hackney recovered a fumble on the 1-yard line in the game’s opening drive, Sul Ross returned the favor by recovering a Murray fumble on the Thoroughbreds’ 2-yard line later in the quarter. Three plays later, Sul Ross took a 7-0 lead.

The Lobos upped the lead to 14-0 early in the second quarter on a 29-yard pass, but Murray State answered quickly. Receiving the ensuing kickoff on his 15-yard line, Bronson scampered 85 yards for MSU’s first score. Sanders added the extra point, cutting the Sul Ross lead to 14-7.

Later in the quarter, another Murray State fumble gave Sul Ross good field position, as the Lobos drove 26 yards in seven plays to take a 21-7 lead by halftime.

The second half was all Murray State. Held to just six yards net rushing in the first half, MSU began moving the ball on the ground in the third quarter, and scored on a 7-yard touchdown run by Dale McDaniel to cut the lead to 21-14. After forcing Sul Ross to punt on its next possession, Murray State moved the ball to the Lobo 37, when McDaniel zipped 37 yards to paydirt. Sanders provided the extra point, tying the score at 21-all.

MSU’s momentum was team-wide, as the Thoroughbred defense again held on the next possession and blocked the Lobos’ punt. With time running out, Murray State moved the ball to the Lobo 15-yard line, setting up Sanders for a fourth-down field goal attempt. The reeling Lobo defense was able to rise one last time, blocking the kick, and forcing the game to end in a tie.

NCAA SEMIFINALMurray State made its first NCAA Division

I-AA playoff appearance at home and entered the game ranked No. 2 in the nation, having won its last eight regular season games.

In his second year guiding the Racers, head coach Mike Gottfried assembled a team which emphasized defense. Led by All-America safety Terry Love, the team rolled through the Ohio Valley Conference season with an unblemished 6-0 record, outscoring league foes 162-55.

Overall, the Racer defense ranked fifth in the country in total defense and second in stopping the run, holding opponents to a mere 64.1 yards rushing per game. Future head coach Mike Mahoney was making his debut on the Racer coaching staff that season, in charge of the defensive line.

Playing before the cameras of ABC Sports, Murray State’s playoff opponent was the No. 4 ranked Lehigh Engineers (the I-AA playoffs consisted of just four teams in 1979), who provided a stern test on a 38-degree day at Stewart Stadium.

After the Racers failed to move the ball in their first possession, Lehigh marched 42 yards to the Racer 4-yard line. Three running plays netted but three yards, setting up a fourth down chip-shot field goal, but Love blasted through the line to block the kick, keeping the game scoreless.

The game remained deadlocked until Lehigh “engineered” a 10-play, 63-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter, plunging over with 11:32 remaining in the half.

Lehigh went ahead 14-0 later in the quarter, driving 57 yards in six plays. By halftime, Lehigh had outgained Murray State 223-85, and held a 154-55 rushing yardage advantage.

The second half saw the Racers show signs of life, as David Tuck’s 24-yard field goal midway through the third quarter cut the lead to 14-3.

The Racers closed the gap in the fourth to 14-9 on a 23-yard scoring pass from Ricky Ray to Greg King, set up by a 21-yard run off a fake punt by Kenny Davis.

However, Lehigh answered by scoring two fourth quarter touchdowns to seal the contest.

NCAA FIRST ROUNDUnlike their previous playoff appearance,

the 1986 Racers were the underdogs against Eastern Illinois, as Murray State had to win its last six conference games to finish the season as Ohio Valley Conference co-champions and achieve a No. 18 ranking in the NCAA Division I-AA poll with a 7-3-1 record.

Homestanding Eastern Illinois (10-1) entered the game ranked No. 3, and featured one of I-AA’s most-feared passing attacks, leading the nation with 326 yards per game.

The Racers countered with a strong ground game, which had produced seven individual 100-yard rushing games, led by tailback Rodney Payne’s 838 yards. Through the air, freshman quarterback Michael Proctor threw for 1,508 yards and nine touchdowns.

After the Racer defense stopped EIU on two drives, the Racers opened the scoring late in the first quarter, as Proctor found back Frank Thigpen open for a 2-yard touchdown pass, capping a nine-play, 79-yard drive.

The Racers went ahead 14-0 early in the second quarter after recovering a fumble at the EIU 9-yard line. Proctor hit tight end Bob Jacob for Murray State’s second touchdown.

But EIU’s offense heated up, scoring on two long scoring drives and tying the game 14-all by halftime.

In the third quarter, MSU’s defense stopped EIU twice inside the 10-yard line, forcing the Panthers to settle for two field goals and a 20-14 lead.

The Racers answered late in the quarter. Led by tailback Bill Bird, who opened the drive with a 12-yard blast, the Racers drove 74 yards in 10-plays. Proctor capped the drive with his third touchdown pass of the afternoon, a 32-yard strike to speedy wideout Stanley Howard. Paul Hickert’s extra point gave the Racers a 21-20 lead with 11:26 remaining in the game.

But after both teams traded punts, EIU took the lead for good, driving 72 yards in four quick plays. With the Racer defense loosened for the pass – EIU threw 54 times – the Panthers scored on a 9-yard run with 7:24 remaining. The two-point conversion gave EIU its final 28-21 margin, as Murray State’s comeback hopes were dashed by a late interception.

NCAA FIRST ROUNDIn 1995, not one Racer was tabbed as

a preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference selection, and although MSU finished fourth the previous two seasons after being picked to place ninth and seventh respectively, MSU was picked to finish sixth in the league’s preseason poll.

The Racers didn’t let any of that stop them on their way to an unblemished 11-0 regular season in 1995. MSU began what would grow over three seasons to 19 straight OVC victories.

Murray State entered the playoffs ranked fourth and seeded fourth.

MSU hosted a determined Northern Iowa team in the first round, and the Panthers came ready to play.

UNI jumped out in front 14-0 after a pair of touchdown passes from Chris Berg to Alonzo Clayton.

A Derrick Cullors 10-yard scoring run got the Racers on the board, but Northern Iowa came right back with another Berg-to-Clayton scoring pass, this time from 31 yards out. It would not be the last the Racers would hear from Berg or Clayton.

Mike Cherry connected with Kwabe Idelette for a 22-yard touchdown pass with eight seconds left in the first half to make it 21-14.

A two-yard touchdown run by Cherry in the third quarter tied the score at 21-all. Berg gave UNI another 7-point cushion when he connected on a 60-yard touchdown pass in the closing seconds of the third quarter.

MSU tied it again with another touchdown pass from Cherry, but Berg came right back and put the Panthers in front, 35-28, with a 12-yard scoring toss.

The Racers were stopped on downs on their next drive, but they forced a Northern Iowa punt and had the ball back with 3:12 left in the game.

Cherry orchestrated a 10-play, 73-yard scoring drive capped off by a 7-yard touchdown run by David McCann. MSU only needed to convert the extra point to tie the game with 1:26 left on the clock.

Chris Dill’s kick was blocked by Clayton, and Northern Iowa held on for the 35-34 upset.

Murray State attempted an onside kick with hopes of getting the ball back, but the Panthers recovered the ball.

NCAA FIRST ROUNDMurray State continued its Ohio Valley

Conference dominance in 1996. The Racers went undefeated in the OVC for the second straight season.

After an overtime loss to Western Kentucky in the first game of the season, MSU rolled to 10 straight victories to close out the regular season.

The Racers out-scored their opponents in 1996 by an average score of 39-15. The balanced offensive attack averaged 233 yards through the air and 208 on the ground.

The Murray State defense limited foes to just 259 yards per game.

Promising they were more prepared than the year before when they were knocked off at home by Northern Iowa in the first round, the Racers blew open a close game against Western Illinois and won 34-6 in a steady rain.

The victory was the first playoff win in program history.

Neither team scored until Anthony Downs broke loose for a 45-yard touchdown run with 7:13 left in the second quarter. Murray State took that 7-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.

A punt return by Western Illinois to the MSU 3-yard line set up a scoring run by Brian Knuckles. The Leathernecks couldn’t convert the extra point and Murray State led 7-6.

Rob Hart connected on a 23-yard field goal with 7:42 left in the third quarter to extend the Racer advantage to 10-6.

Another Hart field goal early in the fourth quarter opened up a 24-point final frame explosion by the offense, and the Racer defense continued to keep WIU out of the end zone.

David McCann had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs, and Donald Hitson capped the scoring with a 20-yard touchdown run with 1:30 left in the game.

William Hampton’s 44-yard interception return set the Racers up at the WIU 14-yard line. After a penalty pushed MSU back to the 28, McCann ripped off a 27-yard run to set up his second touchdown.

Murray State outgained Western Illinois 232-45 on the ground, led by Downs and his 131 yards on 22 carries.

McCann finished with 54 yards on 12 carries to go along with his two touchdowns.

NCAA QUARTERFINALSWith the first-ever playoff win under their

belts, the Racers flew to Troy, Ala., to meet Troy.

Though the defense played better than the score indicated, MSU was outmatched physically and couldn’t overcome five turnovers and a stingy Trojan defense.

More was lost than a game on that day. Head coach Houston Nutt, who led MSU to national prominence in four short years, left for Boise State, and MSU lost one of its finest senior classes ever.

Transfers such as Mike Cherry, Mathias Vavao, Donald Hitson, Deon Smith and Jesse Jones played just two years at MSU, but never lost an OVC game. The four-year seniors, what Nutt called “the core” - Terry Anthony, Willie Corbin, Elliott Dunn, Renardo Hampton, William Hampton, Anthony Hutch, David McCann, Carlos Ransey, Tim Scarborough and Tony Turner - suffered through lean times and emerged on the other side as champions.

Troy scored a touchdown in the first and second quarters to carry a 14-0 advantage into the locker room at halftime.

A 42-yard field goal by Rob Hart midway through the third quarter got the Racers on the board, but they still trailed 14-3 heading into the final quarter of play.

Less than a minute into the fourth quarter the Trojans extended their lead to 17-3 on Matt Huerkamp’s 27-yard field goal.

Joe Jackson’s second 1-yard touchdown run of the game capped an 8-play, 61-yard Troy drive and gave the home team a 24-3 lead with 4:55 left on the clock.

Terrell Smith’s touchdown run from one yard out and 29 seconds remaining in the game set the final score at 31-3.

Murray State finished with more first downs than the Trojans, 16 to 15, but the Troy State defense limited the Racers to only 15 net rushing yards, while the Troy offense ran for 253 yards.

Troy’s balanced rushing attack left Arrid Gregory with 89 yards, Jackson with 72 and Stan Davis with 66.

Cherry had a tough day, throwing four interceptions and completing just 18-of-40 pass attempts.

NCAA FIRST ROUNDThe 2002 Racers were not expected to be

playoff contenders. It took a last-second field goal in the final game of the regular season to give Murray State a share of the Ohio Valley Championship and the league’s automatic bid to the playoffs.

Billy Blanchard, MSU’s last 1,000-yard rusher, led an MSU running game that averaged 249.6 yards per game in 2002.

Unfortunately the Racers drew a first round match-up with a Western Kentucky team destined to win the national championship.

The Hilltoppers used a potent running game of their own to dispatch MSU in the first round.

WKU left little doubt after scoring on four of its first five possessions and putting up 24 unanswered points in the first quarter. A missed field goal attempt from 54 yards out was the only time the Hilltoppers didn’t put points on the board the first five times they got the ball.

Western scored three times on the ground in the opening frame.

Deandre Green’s 18-yard touchdown reception early in the second period drew the visitors to within 24-7, but the Hilltoppers kept scoring.

Western’s fourth rushing touchdown made it 38-14 at halftime.

Less than two minutes into the second half Western made it seven scores in nine chances. The Hilltoppers would be forced to punt just twice in the entire game.

Murray State managed just one touchdown in the second half as Western Kentucky rolled to a 59-20 win and moved one step closer on its path to the national title.

WKU outgained the Racers 350 to 103 on the ground for the game. Three Hilltoppers had 80 or more yards on the ground led by Jeremi Johnson’s 160. Maurice Bradley had three of WKU’s five scoring runs.

Ron Lane led Murray State with 66 yards. Blanchard scored MSU’s only rushing touchdown.

Stewart Childress completed 12 of 24 passes for Murray State and totaled 149 yards through the air. He tossed a pair of scoring passes.

Green finished with 127 yards on eight catches to go along with his touchdown reception. Jimmy St. Louis capped an 8-play, 58-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown catch.
