2010 oUtlook

The Colonels ended their 2009 campaign with two wins, both in conference and against in-state foes, and will enter the 2010 season with a new Head Coach and a new offensive philosophy – a passing philosophy.

Charlie Stubbs, a 30-year college coaching veteran and author of three books on executing a successful offense, became the ninth head coach in the program’s history in January, and at his inaugural press conference, he stressed his plan:

“I want to win now,” said Stubbs at the press conference. “I know it will take time to transition, and the administration has given me the opportunity to build a program the right way with incoming freshman and some transfers. Getting high-quality student-athletes in our program is a necessity to build a solid foundation.”

Stubbs has worked with some of the best to ever play the game, including many that have gone on to play professionally like Shaun Alexander, Isaac Bruce, Kennan McCardell, Harry Douglas, and Brian Brohm to name a few. His knowledge of the game, tireless work ethic, and astute attention to detail has come to land him the nickname ‘The Mad Scientist.’

His offensive strategies and play calling as the Offensive Coordinator will reflect that in 2010.

“I’m excited about the challenges ahead. We have a tremendous amount of work to do as we bring in an influx of new schemes. Our non-conference schedule is challenging, and to have success, we are going to have to come together early as a team.”

OFFeNSe:Goodbye Triple-Option, hello

Multiple-Pro. Nicholls will be using a new style of attack in 2010 under Head Coach Charlie Stubbs, one that is geared to moving the ball through the air latterly and with some witty innovation.

Stubbs brings with him the ability to revamp and renovate quickly when it comes to schemes and executing, having overhauled Tulsa’s offense in 2003 to the No. 28 scoring offense in

the nation – 73 spots higher than the previous season – and to an appearance in the Humanitarian Bowl.

From there, Stubbs steadied the Golden Hurricanes over the next two seasons, capturing the 2005 C-USA Championship and the 2006 Liberty Bowl.

The same basic blueprint from that 2003 season at Tulsa is in place for the Nicholls 2010 season.

“[At Tulsa] we did a good job of working with what was already there, talent-wise, and made some things happen for us,” said Stubbs. “Here, we have a lot of skill improvement to do, and many of our returning players have to work on numerous things to get better as players.”

“We will be emphasizing certain things in our schemes and packages that were not emphasized before, making it difficult at first, but I’m confident we will get better. Our fall camp is critical, coming together as a team is vital to our success.”

DeFeNSe:While the offense will have a

complete makeover, the defense will still run the same Multiple 4-3 packages it ran the previous year, but with a lot more creativity on the pressure schemes under second year Defensive Coordinator Jeremy Atwell.

Last season, the Colonels were plagued with injuries in the defensive backfield and at linebacker, and it showed as Nicholls finished the 2009 campaign last in total defense in the Southland Conference.

However, when the entire group was at full health during the last three games of the season, Nicholls played its best defensively and led the squad to two victories. The group even held a lead over Southland Champion Stephen F. Austin in the fourth quarter, forcing the Lumberjacks to come from behind for the win.

“We are bringing in newcomers to mix with our returning players, and we are going to have to get better in a hurry in all areas. Competition for playing time is needed in all areas to motivate our student-athletes in

practice and on game day, which I am certain we will have in fall camp,” said Stubbs.

The defense will return some solid players, including junior two-year letterman Bobby Felder at defensive back. Felder closed out the 2009 season with two interceptions against Southeastern La., one of which he returned for a touchdown. It was his first collegiate touchdown, and enters the season with three career interceptions, all against Lions.

Also, the defense will turn to senior defensive end Marquis Russell on the defense forefront for pressuring the quarterback. Russell had 27 total tackles with 4.5 for a loss, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception in his first season with the Colonels in 2009.

“Stressing the basics and getting fundamentally sound will be our focus in fall camp,” added Stubbs. “We are going to stress takeaways and not giving up the big play mostly, and we are going to need that and more from our defense to have success.”

SPeCIAL TeAMSThe special teams unit is perhaps the

most sound area heading into the 2010 season with preseason All-American and two-time All-Southland selection senior punter Patrick Dolan. Dolan has finished the past two seasons in the nations Top-10 for punting average, and has steadily improved every year in the Colonels system.

On top of the punting game being a bright spot, Nicholls will also feature the guidance of Bobby April III, who is regarded by many as an up-and-coming coach with a high level of energy. April is the son of former Colonel Bobby April Jr., who is currently the Special Teams Coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Special teams are highly emphasized, and that will be apparent as we will have a good amount of our starters involved in all phases,” said Stubbs. “Bobby is very energetic, and his players feed off of that. I’m excited about the game plans and his creativity.”

Although Dolan handled kickoff

duties as a sophomore, and former Colonel Ross Schexnayder anchored the field goal duties the last two seasons, Nicholls will not have an experienced leg on the collegiate level at kicker to start the season. Dolan and his younger brother Andrew, who will embark on his freshman season, enters the 2010 campaign as Nicholls kicker.

The kick return game will be aided by junior Kendrex Salter, who returns experience at the position, while returning punts will feature a completely new face as Dominique Daniels, who signed a professional contract with the Atlanta Falcons, graduated.

“We will be assessing our return game in fall camp, identifying playmakers at the positions,” added Stubbs. “This aspect will be very important to our success, and we are expecting a lot from whoever steps up in the fall.”

SCheDuLeThe Colonels will open up their 2010

campaign with three consecutive road games, all against Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) foes with the first coming against San Diego State on September 4. The Aztecs finished 2009 with a 4-8 overall record that included a 2-6 record in the Mountain West Conference.

After the trip out west, the Colonels will head north to play Western Michigan on Sept. 11. The Broncos finished 2009 with a 5-7 record that also consisted of a 4-4 record in the Mid-American Conference. The following week for Nicholls will feature a short trip to Mobile, Ala. to take on South Alabama on Sept. 18. This will be the Jaguars first year of football on the Division I level.

“We are excited about the high level of Division I competition that we will play to start the season. Playing teams such as San Diego State, Western Michigan and South Alabama can only help us grow and mature as a team in time for conference play,” said Stubbs.

Nicholls will play its first home game on September 25 against NAIA member Bacone College, which will also

serve as the university’s homecoming. Kickoff for the homecoming game is set for 4 p.m. at Manning Field built by AstroTurf in John L. Guidry Stadium.

The Colonels will then enjoy an open date on Oct. 2 before picking up league action against Sam Houston State on Oct. 9 at home. The Bearkats took last year’s game, 44-21, and have won the last four in the series. Nicholls will follow up their bout with the Bearkats with a trip to Texas State on Oct. 16.

After their contest against the Bobcats, Nicholls returns to Guidry Stadium to face conference rival Central Arkansas on Oct. 23. UCA defeated Nicholls 42-13 last season in Conway, avenging a 20-17 loss a year before in Thibodaux to the Colonels.

Nicholls will travel to longtime rival McNeese State on Oct. 30. The last time the two teams met in Lake Charles, the Colonels won a 38-35 thriller. It was the first victory for Nicholls at McNeese State in 10 years.

The Colonels will then round out its 2010 schedule with two of its last three games at home. The first comes against defending Southland Conference Champion Stephen F. Austin on Nov. 6. SFA barely squeaked by Nicholls last season in Nacogdoches, scoring late to get a 31-27 win.

After a Nov. 13 game at in-state rival Northwestern State, Nicholls will return home to face Southeastern La. on Thursday Nov. 18 to close out the season. The Colonels defeated both squads last season, marking the club’s only two wins in conference action in 2009.

“The schedule is challenging, and as we change offensive philosophy, I suspect there to be a learning curve. However, I am thankful for having a group of young men that are serious about their education and athletic careers. We are all very excited to get under way,” said Stubbs.

WIDe ReCeIveRSThe receiving corps will no longer

be just a deep threat or a ‘Hail Mary’ toss out of desperation when trailing in a game, but instead under the direction

of Coach Stubbs, will be one of the main focal points of the offense.

Nicholls enters the season with a total of 10 wide receivers and six tight ends on the roster, which is more than the Colonels had on the last two seasons combined. However, with the numbers high at the position, Nicholls enters the season with a receiving group that does not have a single player with a reception to his credit on the collegiate level except for Donovan Tate who will redshirt in 2010.

“With the combination of the young men we have on our roster now, and with the incoming freshman and transfers we have joining us in the fall, I am confident that we will have great competition at the position,” said Stubbs. “We will have to mature quickly, and learn fast to have success. But, I’m confident we can get there.”

The Colonel receivers feature a variety of types, from possession to speed to playmakers. Returning players at wide receiver include redshirt freshman Andrew Wynn, and at tight end is sophomore Marshall Crawford, former linebacker senior Anthony Sparks, and senior Bojan Stevovic.

The rest of the bunch, with the exception of sophomore Chucky Nichols who made the switch from defensive back, are a combination of incoming freshman and transfers.

Some of the transfers at wide receiver include Tyrie Allen from Florida Atlantic, Kenyad Blair from Northeast Oklahoma A&M CC, and Josh Warren from Bellhaven. Allen and Blair both will be entering this season as redshirt freshmen.

“Coach Justin Anderson will head up the wide receivers and Coach Adam Gardner will supervise the tight ends,” added Stubbs. “Justin and Adam are both great role models for their players with both emphasizing the little things. We know the tight ends will be a work in progress, and it will be a key weapon in our offense.”

Other newcomers at wide receiver include freshmen Floyd Chism, Calvin Davidson and Brad Nelson, and at tight end are freshmen Josh Dudley, Mark

Mayberry, and Nick Scelfo.Key losses at the position include All-

Southland selection Antonio Robinson, who was signed by the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent.

RuNNING BACkSThe running backs will not only be

ball carriers and blockers in Coach Stubbs’ Multiple Pro offense, but they will also be receivers in the backfield and down the field as well. They will also dabble with throwing the occasional pass or two… or three.

Returning players to the position include seniors Corey Buchanan, Brandon Johnson, and Earvin Moore, juniors Byron Jones and Kendrex Salter, sophomore Jesse Turner, and redshirt freshman Tyler Collins. However, those players only accounted for 14 percent (305 of 2,208 yards) of the Colonels’ 2009 rushing yards, and a mere 13 percent (413 of 3,529 yards) of the team’s overall offensive output.

Of the returning players, Buchanan suffered a season-ending injury in the 2009 opener while Jones and Collins did not register a carry on the offensive side, leaving only four players with playing time at the position. However, only two of them – Johnson and Moore – have registered 10-plus carries and over 100 yards rushing.

“We have a lot of players similar in ability at running back, giving us a solid rotation, but as we progress in fall camp, I would like to have some separation to define our depth chart with a top two or three,” said Stubbs. “It is vital for our success to have this group produce in our offense.”

Johnson is the only returning running back with significant stats on the receiving end, with six receptions for 96 yards and a score. Moore and Buchanan each have one reception to their credit, while Salter is 1-for-1 passing for his career.

Newcomers to the position include freshmen Stephen Richmond and Marcus Washington.

“Coach Hepola is very thorough in his evaluations of his student-athletes, and I know he will identify the best all-around players at the position early on

in fall camp to make this a successful unit on the field,” added Stubbs. “Like other positions, we are asking these young men to do things in our offense that they are not familiar with at this level of competition. The shorter the learning curve the better.”

QuARTeRBACkSFor the first time in almost a decade,

a Nicholls quarterback won’t specialize in moving the chains with his feet and reading zone blocks, but will look to split the snaps between the run and pass in Coach Stubbs’ Multiple Pro offense that has a proven track record.

However, in order for the offense to be successful, it requires extreme study and precise decision making by its quarterback.

Nicholls returns two quarterbacks – sophomore LaQuintin Caston and senior Nolan Dumas – with each taking the majority of the reps at the position during spring practice.

Dumas, a career back-up to the position, has only taken a handful of college snaps under center, including only one last season against Jacksonville State.

Caston led the Colonels under center for the last seven games, and closed out the season with two wins against in-state and Southland rivals Northwestern State and Southeastern La. In those two wins, Caston was a combined 11-for-23 with 278 yards passing, four touchdowns, and one interception, while also rushing 27 times for 97 yards and two scores.

“I have worked with both LaQuintin and Nolan during spring practice, and will continue to work with them and the incoming freshman quarterbacks we bring in for Fall Camp,” said Stubbs. “I will prepare the top two or three with the game plan that give us the best chance to win.”

Newcomers will include three high school standouts: Beaux Hebert, Landry Klann and Justin Rosborough. Hebert is the son of former New Orleans Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert, and the nephew of former Colonel quarterback/running back Billy Bob Hebert.

Klann and Rosborough both had distinguished prep careers, playing multiple positions and garnering many accolades.

“We will have the talent at the position to be competitive, however, the experience factor is not on our side,” added Stubbs. “Once we get our feet wet in fall camp, we will really know what we have.”

OFFeNSIve LINeThe offensive line, as in all offenses,

is one of the most important areas on the field to effectively move the ball. In the spring, the group was severely limited due to depth at each and every spot.

However, that didn’t stop Coach Keith Uperesa from teaching technique and blocking schemes to the players who suited up at full health.

“This group will have to make major strides before we open up the season at San Diego State, and to fill depth, we will rely heavily on our signees,” said Stubbs. The group returns senior Charles McDade at center, junior guard Spenser Langthorn, senior tackle Brandon Ward, junior guard Bart Roussel, and sophomore guard Gerald Gruenig. All of the returning players have experience under their belts on the collegiate level.

McDade started every game last season for the Colonels at center, and the year before he was second on the depth chart, while Ward and Langthorn have been mainstays on the line, getting starts last season in and around injuries. Gruenig made the switch from defense to offense in fall camp and started the season’s final two games, while Roussel also garnered two starts due to injury.

Brandon Spurlock redshirted his freshman season, and joined the team in the spring on the offensive side.

“We are fortunate to have some experience on the offensive line, but depth is key. Coach Uperesa is excited about the challenges ahead and getting this group ready for the season. I know he will do a great job developing his players and I value his expertise,” added Stubbs.

Nicholls will be without All-

Southland performer Aric Flowers, who started all but one game his senior season.

Newcomers to the position include Rafe Plaisance and Michael Woods.

DeFeNSIve LINeThe defensive line enters the

season as arguably one of the most experienced areas on the team, and after playing one season under the guidance of Defensive Coordinator Jeremy Atwell, the group is poised for better things to come.

The defensive forefront features five returning players from a season ago, led by senior defensive end Marquis Russell and sophomore defensive linemen Fernandez Garner and Darrell Brown.

Russell leads all returning players on the defensive line with 27 total tackles and a team-leading 2.5 sacks in 2009. The Miami, Fla. native also had two forced fumbles and an interception to his credit.

Brown burst on the college scene in the first game of the season against Air Force with a career best seven tackles, while Garner was having a productive season until he suffered a season-ending injury midway through the year at Sam Houston State.

Junior A.J. Carter, another returning defensive tackle, also has steadily improved every season, and finished last year with five starts to his credit. Sophomores Rashar Knight and Edet Udoh never received a start during their true freshmen campaign, but were key contributors. Knight had 13 total stops and a forced fumble, while Udoh had 10 total tackles and a fumble recovery.

“This group is the foundation of our defense and must be in great shape to put relentless pressure on the opposition. I expect this group to set the tone for our defense, and play with a high-level of energy and enthusiasm,” said Stubbs.

Newcomers who are high on the depth chart are juniors Michael Billingsley and Gavin Whitfield, both junior college transfers. Nicholls has no incoming freshman on the defensive line.

“Coach Gisclair has a lot of pride, not only as a coach, but as an alumnus who has put a lot of hard work into Nicholls football. He works tirelessly, and I believe he will help build competition for playing time at this position,” added Stubbs.

LINeBACkeRSNicholls will return a total of six

linebackers from a season ago with two of them – senior Ed James and Jordan Piper – making huge strides in 2009, and also making their case to lead the team in 2010.

James was fourth on the team in tackles last season, registering a total of 46 take downs (20 solo) that included 5.5 stops for a loss. The Miami, Fla native is second among returning players in tackles, despite only starting seven games.

Piper only started five games, and was vastly limited in his playing time due to fracturing a bone in his wrist midway through the season, and he played the remaining four games with a hard cast on his hand.

The New Orleans, La. native still finished with 45 total tackles (23 solo) in nine games, and enters the 2010 season at full health.

Another linebacker plagued by injury in 2009 was junior Anri Stewart, who had started the first five games of the season before suffering a season-ending internal injury at Sam Houston State. Stewart had nine tackles and a pass breakup before sustaining the injury.

Others gaining experience at the position last season were senior Jon McClinton, junior Stefan Bergeron and sophomore Michael Walker. Trying to battle back from injury is junior Kevin Persick who is still recovering from a 2008 leg injury.

“Our linebackers have game experience, which is good knowledge to have in their development and understanding of the speed of the game,” said Stubbs. “It is important for this group to be playmakers, and be able to force turnovers.”

Newcomers at the position are freshmen Dontrell Breaux, Ryan Bruno,

Warren Lennix Jr. and Myles O’Brien.Nicholls will have to replace last

year’s tackles leader Yashua Willis and Garrick Spain, who was second behind Willis in 2009. Both have exhausted their eligibility.

“I have confidence in Jeremy to do a great job with the linebackers, and he really works hard to put his linebackers in position to make plays,” added Stubbs.

CORNeRBACkSThe cornerback play is essential

for the Colonels success on defense, especially with many of the Southland schools pass-heavy (Stephen F. Austin No.1 in the nation in passing offense), and also with three Division I-FBS schools on the schedule in 2010.

Anchoring the cornerbacks will be third-year player and two-year starter junior Bobby Felder. Felder closed out the 2009 campaign by being named Louisiana Sports Writers Association Defensive Player of the Week for leading Nicholls to victory over Southeastern La. with two interceptions and one returned for a touchdown.

Senior Jeremy Garrett is penciled in opposite of Felder to start as the team heads into fall camp. However, senior Leroy Trahan is not far off. Both received playing time in 2009, each receiving two starts.

“We are looking to our corners to prevent the big play from happening, and we want them to be physical but graceful in their coverage schemes,” said Stubbs. “When they play well as a group, it opens so much more for us defensively and gives us more opportunities to utilize various schemes.”

Newcomers include incoming freshmen Brian Lewis, Johnathan Smith, and Siegan Vergenal.

“We have a good mix at the position, and Coach Dillon possess a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for the game, which his players feed off of,” added Stubbs.

lacking depth at safety, having only three on the depth chart. Heading into fall camp, junior Kerry Guidry is slated to battle with redshirt freshman T.J. Lumar at strong safety, while senior Tarbbaris Hicks went solo at free safety during the spring.

Guidry received some playing time last season in a limited role, backing up the safety position, while both Lumar and Hicks both redshirted. Hicks, a transfer in 2008, played a backup role before sitting out last season.

“I’m holding my safeties to a high standard, meaning they have to not only be sure tacklers and excellent in pass coverage, but really good communicators to make sure those around them are in the correct position to make the play,” said Stubbs.

Transfers Aldaro Russell and Shawn Elrod will compete for playing time at both positions, while freshmen Toren Joseph and Jordan Hanberry were standouts on the prep level at safety and will be tested there in fall camp.

“Bobby April has great teaching

skills and methods to develop this group to be one of our strengths. It will take some patience, but we will get there with proper preparation,” added Stubbs.

SPeCIALISTWhat is better than having one of

the best punters in the nation in two-time All-Southland First Team Patrick Dolan? Not having to use him that often, if not at all, which would be a coach’s dream.

“It is true, Patrick surely is a great player and a great leader for us, but the more we call upon him means the fewer third downs we are converting and points we are scoring,” said Stubbs. “That is not taking anything away from Patrick, I’m just hoping we don’t have to call his number too many times this season.”

Dolan finished with a 42.73 yards/punt average, ranking fifth in the nation, and had a total of 13 punts sail more than 50 yards, including a career long of 64 against Jacksonville State.

In the kicking game, Patrick’s younger brother Andrew Dolan is set to be the place kicker and field goal kicker in 2010, replacing two-year starter Ross Schexnayder who has graduated. Andrew wanted to be ready for the 2010 season so much so that he finished high school in December of 2009.

Providing competition at the position will be sophomores Billy Foret and Ben Landry with Landry having game experience as he served as the team’s place kicker in the second half of the 2009 season.

“Our kickers will have to be able to place their kickoffs precisely, and our field goal kickers will need to be accurate when called upon so we don’t miss out on scoring opportunities.”

ReTuRN SPeCIALISTThe group of return specialists that

will be featured this season only has one student-athlete – junior Kendex Salter – who has experience in the kick return game, while no one on

the roster returned a punt for the Colonels in 2009. However, that is not a reason to push the panic button, nor to be alarmed as the coaching staff has some talented players that can make plays.

One of those players is junior Bobby Felder, who will see action returning punts heading into fall camp, while transfer Josh Warren did his fair share of returning both punts and kicks for Bellhaven as a freshman.

The spring depth chart consisted of a rotation of the three at all return positions, and with the influx of new players in the fall, they will get much needed competition.

“Our returners are identified as playmakers, and as playmakers, they are the ones that can create on their own and make defenders miss,” said Stubbs. “Bobby April brings a great deal of knowledge and experience to our team and is passionate about special teams.”

2010 Football coaches biographies

Longtime college coach Charlie Stubbs enters his first season as the head coach of the Nicholls State University football team.

With over 31 years of coaching experience and 22 on the collegiate level, University of Central Missouri offensive coordinator Charlie Stubbs was named Nicholls Football Head Coach at a

press conference on January 5, and is the ninth head coach in the program’s history. Stubbs, a native of Charleston, South Carolina, has been an offensive coordinator at a host of schools over the last 14 years of his coaching career that includes six years as an assistant head coach.

Stubbs began his coaching career at his alma mater BYU in 1983, and was a member of the coaching staff under the direction of LaVell Edwards that was dubbed the 1984 Division I National Champions. Since then, Stubbs has been the offensive coordinator at Oregon State University (1985-1990), University of Memphis (1994), University of Tennessee-Martin (1995), University of Nevada-Las Vegas (1996-97), University of Alabama (1998-2000), University of Tulsa (2002-06), the University of Louisville (2007), and most recent, the University of Central Missouri (2008-09).

At Oregon State, Stubb’s offense was ranked among the PAC-10’s top-three each season, finishing ranked 10th nationally in total offense in 1987 and sixth in 1988. His 1996 UNLV squad was ninth nationally in passing offense, while leading the WAC in 1997 and finishing that season ranked 12th nationally in the category.

The coaching veteran also spent time on the Division I-FCS (formerly I-AA) level at Tennessee-Martin, where the Skyhawks led the Ohio Valley Conference in passing offense in 1995 and set nine conference records that season.

Stubbs also spent three seasons in the SEC as the quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator at Alabama. Stubbs’ offenses led the Crimson Tide to appearances in the 1998 Music City Bowl and the Orange Bowl in 1999. Alabama also won the SEC Championship that season, and Stubbs was named the 1999 SEC Offensive Coordinator of the Year.

In four seasons at Tulsa, Stubbs’ offenses averaged over 31 points per game, and ranked among the Top-25 teams in the nation each season. His 2005 season with Tulsa saw the Hurricanes finish 9-4, going on to being crowned Conference USA Champions and Liberty Bowl Champions after defeating Fresno State. Stubbs was also a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year in 2005.

His last stop on the Division I-FBS level was at the University of Louisville in 2007 where Stubbs guided the Cardinals to a No. 1 ranking in the Big East in passing offense that ranked fourth nationally. Louisville also was sixth nationally in total offense, guided by current NFL players Brian Brohm (Buffalo Bills) and Harry Douglas (Atlanta Falcons).

Stubbs’ final stop before Nicholls was at NCAA Division II Central Missouri where, under the guidance of Stubbs, the Mules ranked first in the conference in passing offense both seasons. UCM finished 2009 with an 8-3 record and a second place finish in the MIAA conference.

Stubbs is also a published author, having three books published titled “Wide Open Football,” “Developing an Explosive Offense,” and his third book, “101 Special Plays and Playmakers,” which hit the shelves in January 2010.

He holds both his bachelor’s and master’s degree from Brigham Young University, achieving a Bachelor’s of Science in 1978 and a Masters in Physical Education in 1984.

Charlie and his wife Sandy reside in Thibodaux. The couple have four children: Troy, Jay, Kim and Kyle. Troy attended the U.S. Air Force Academy and played quarterback and wide receiver, while Jay played wide receiver for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Kim is in her final year at BYU-Idaho, while Kyle is entering his sophomore year at Brigham Young University. The couple are also proud of six grandchildren.

Keith Uperesa enters his first season as the Offensive Line Coach for the Colonel Football Program, and comes to Nicholls after most recently serving as an offensive line coach at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas for the last five seasons from 2005-09.

While at UNLV, Uperesa coached six All-Conference players that included Joe Hawley

and Matt Murphy during his last season there in 2009. Joe Hawley was the 19th pick of the 4th round in this year’s NFL draft of the Atlanta Falcons. Prior to his stint with the Rebels, Uperesa served as an offensive line/tight end coach at Utah in 2004, and was an important part of the staff that guided the Utes to a 12-0 finish, 2004 MWC Champions and 2005 Fiesta Bowl Champions.

The Utes defeated Pittsburgh handedly, 35-7, in the Fiesta Bowl, becoming the first school from a non-BCS conference to not only play in a BCS bowl game, but to win one as well. While at Utah, Uperesa coached three All-Conference offensive lineman that included First Team selection Chris Kemoetau (Pittsburg Steelers), Second Team selection Jesse Boone and Honorable Mention Makai Aalona.

Uperesa also worked with current NFL quarterback Alex Smith while at Utah, and was a coach under now two-time National Champion Florida Head Coach Urban Myer.

Prior to joining Utah, Uperesa spent a year at El Camino Community College, guiding the squad to the Verizon Southern California Bowl Championship. From 2001-02, he was an offensive line coach for the University of Southern California, helping the Trojans become 2003 Orange Bowl Champions.

Also while at USC, Uperesa coached All-Conference First Team player Jacob Rogers in the offensive trenches, and was a member of the staff that led USC to the 2001 Las Vegas Bowl.

Uperesa served as an Assistant Head Coach at the Idaho State University from 1999-2000, calling plays as the Offensive Coordinator. Idaho finished both

keITh uPeReSAassistant coach • offensive line

seasons in the Top-12 nationally in passing with the highest coming in 1999 with a No. 9 ranking (308.1 yards/game).

The Honolulu, Hawaii native has also spent time as a head coach on the collegiate level, guiding Snow College to a 35-8 record from 1995-1999, four consecutive bowl victories, and four consecutive top ten rankings. Uperesa started out as the Offensive Line Coach / Special Teams Coordinator in 1987, and steadily worked his way up to being named Head Coach in 1995.

Uperesa also played three seasons in the NFL, one with the Oakland Raiders (1978) and two with the Denver Broncos (1979-80). After his NFL stint, Uperesa returned to his alma mater as Nicholls Head Coach Charlie Stubbs was leaving for a position at Oregon State. Uperesa holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from BYU.

Keith and his wife Kaipo have three children named Ikaika (30), Naupaka (27) and Kahikole (21). Ikaika, who played football at Idaho State, has two children named Isabella (6) and Sophia (1). Naupaka played collegiate women’s basketball at Norfolk State and Cal-State Dominguez Hills.

GAMe ONeSeptember 5, 2009Falcon StadiumColorado Springs, Colo.AFA 72 NICh 0

The Nicholls State University football team opened its 2009 season with its worst loss in school history, falling 72-0. It was the most points an opponent had scored on Nicholls since the program’s inception in 1971, and it also marked the largest margin of defeat.

In the game, Air Force Academy had built a healthy 17-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and removed a majority of their starters from the game mid-way through the second quarter.

Nicholls punter Patrick Dolan had a career game in the loss, punting seven times for an average of 46.7 yards/punt. He had three punts of 50 yards or more, with a long of 59 in the defeat.

After a rough start to the season, Nicholls got a hard-fought 14-7 victory over Duquesne University on a fake punt that sent running back Earvin Moore racing 63 yards to the end zone for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

The Colonel defense stood strong in the final eight minutes, claiming the victory while playing at

home for the first time in the 2009 season. Nicholls defense was led by Yashua Willis with 10

total tackles (five solo) from the middle linebacker spot, while Marquis Russell led the charge in the trenches with 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recorvery.

The Colonels played in front of 8,213 fans – the most since 2005 – in John L. Guidry Stadium, however, the support received did not provide answers to stop Jacksonville State from lighting up the scoreboard, winning 60-10.

The 60 points scored by Jacksonville State were the most ever scored by an opponent against Nicholls in John L. Guidry, and tied for the largest margin of defeat in Colonel history.

Nicholls only touchdown – a 2-yard rush by LaQuintin Caston – in the game came in the fourth quarter. Patrick Dolan did establish a career long of 64 in the loss, marking his first-ever punt to go over 60 yards.

Nicholls held a 7-3 lead after the first quarter, but gave up 21 points to Texas State in the second quarter to trail 24-14 at halftime, which the squad never recovered from.

The Colonels did come within three points – 24-21 – early on in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by LaQuintin Caston, but could not stop the Bobcats from scoring 10 points to ice the game.

Nicholls defense limited Texas State to 318 yards of total offense in the loss, while A.J. Williams led all Colonel rushers with 119 yards on 11 carries.

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

What began as a small gathering of college administrators more than 47 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence.

On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock, Ark., metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. Central Arkansas and A&M-Corpus Christi enhanced the Southland Conference in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and principled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage.

In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference lineup also consists of Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas State University-San Marcos.

All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of approximately 920,000. Famous

alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), retired U.S. Central Command General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington).

The cities of the Southland are diverse and

p r o g r e s s i v e , ranging from international business and cultural centers such as the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and the New Orleans area, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns

automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already broadcast nearly 70 events. In just its second year of production, the network has already received recognition for its work. It received a College Sports Media Award at the College Sports

Video Summit in Atlanta in June 2010 for it production of the

2009 McNeese State vs. Stephen F.

Austin football game, which was judged the

best live game or event in its category. The network also collected three prestigious Tell Awards. Entering its third season in 2010-11, the network will expand its reach to roughly 6 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.

In February 2010, the Southland Conference learned it, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and the Hunt Sports Group, would serve as the host of the NCAA Division I Football Championship game. The first of three championship games will be played Jan. 7, 2011 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, which has been home to the conference office since 2006. Frisco was recently named the fastest growing city in the nation.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams

advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest, the sixth such title game appearance since the league joined the FCS in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 92 Division I playoff games in 28 years, winning 43 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since.

During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first-ever NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 FCS national title.

McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, played in the 1997 and 2002 NCAA Division I FCS national championship games, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title game and has five playoff appearances, reaching the quarterfinals in 2009. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned four trips to

the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls has participated three times in the playoffs. In 2008, Texas State made its second postseason appearance in four years. Included was a trip to the semifinals in 2005.

On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the national 16-team playoffs. Six of the eight current football-playing members have qualified for the FCS playoffs. In addition, Texas State won NCAA Division II titles in 1981 and 1982 before joining the Southland.

The Southland has produced 153 first-team football All-Americans during its history, and has sent such talent to the professional ranks including Oakland’s Keith Davis (Sam Houston State), Carolina’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), Kansas City’s B.J. Sams (McNeese State), Detroit’s Kevin Smith (McNeese State), Minnesota’s Fred Evans (Texas State), Tennessee’s Jacob Ford (Central Arkansas), and Oakland’s Luke Lawton (McNeese State).

The Southland is one of three FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (202) in the National Football League Draft. The league also ranks third in the FCS with 22 players taken in the draft since 2000 and has 22 former players on NFL rosters to start the 2010 season.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Fred Barnett, Roger Carr, Marvin Upshaw, Larry Centers, Kavika Pittman, Mike Barber, Bruce Collie, Tim McKyer, Pat Tilley, Jackie Harris, Eugene Seale, Bubby Brister, Billy Ryckman, Rafael Septien, Buford Jordan, Marcus Spears, Terrance Shaw and Ray Brown.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack

Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 45-plus years. The league has sent two teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney, Devin Brown, and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. In 2008, the league saw two postseason teams (UT Arlington in the NCAA tournament and Stephen F. Austin in the NIT) for the first time since 2001.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins, joining Tennessee, Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion, Texas, James Madison, Ohio State and Tennessee Tech.

In 2010, for the first time in Southland history, three league members advanced to the postseason as Lamar won its first conference tournament title and played in its second NCAA tournament. Stephen F. Austin was selected to play in its third WNIT and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi won a

school-record 24 games en route to its deepest postseason run, advanced to the semifinals of the inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitational.

A Southland team has played in the WNIT 10 times, including each of the last four years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a huge Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the league. Former UT Arlington shortstop, Trey Hillman, a three-time All-Southland selection from 1983-85, was manager for the Kansas City Royals from the 2007-10 seasons and coached the American League in the 2009 MLB All-Star Game.

The 2010 Major League Baseball Draft was significant for the Southland as the league saw 17 players drafted pushing the all-time draft total to more than 400 selections (414). UT Arlington’s Michael Choice became the seventh Southland player taken in the first round, selected by Oakland with the 10th overall selection. He joins Ben Sheets (Louisiana-Monroe) as the league’s highest draft pick. The two are the only players in Southland history to be taken in the top 10 of the draft

Jim Gilligan, who won his 1,100th career game in 2009, and Mark Johnson, who won his 1,000th career game in 2010, join an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts including Pat Patterson, Butch McBroom, Jim Wells, Smoke Laval, Dave Van Horn, Mike Bianco, John Cohen and Tony Robichaux.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, as the league has knocked off at least one nationally

ranked opponent since 1995, with six wins over ranked opponents in 2010 including wins by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Texas State over No. 15 Texas. In the 2003 NCAA Tournament, UT Arlington and Texas State enjoyed unprecedented success as each won two games in the national event. The league has also won at least one game in the NCAA tournament in three of the past six years. In 18 years on NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 14 wins.

The Southland has a proud history in volleyball as UT Arlington has represented the conference eight times in the NCAA tournament, advancing all the way to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. In 2006, Stephen F. Austin moved to the second round following an opening-round win against Alabama.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 27 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of eight more All-American seasons in 2010, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 60 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 10 national championships. Likewise in the spring outdoor season, the league has seen 138 different All-Americans, including 110 men and 28 women, combine to win 20 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a

member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2009 as both Lamar and UT Arlington qualified for regional play. Additionally, during the past two seasons the Southland has sent eight golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009 and three more in 2010. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007.

Southland tennis has also

experienced national prominence. UT Arlington All-American Andy Leber was the 2002 ITA/Ted Farnsworth National Senior Co-Player of the Year after a 43-3 record and earning the nation’s No. 2 ranking. In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. In 2007, Stephen F. Austin became the first Southland soccer team to score a goal in the NCAA tournament, while Texas State became the first women’s golf program to compete in the NCAA tournament.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald

Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the

Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 934 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2010 spring semester.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

Gary kinchen

1972-73

Gary Kinchen was faced with building a football program when he was named Nicholls State’s first head coach in 1971. In the school’s first two intercollegiate seasons, his teams posted a 5-17 record.

Under Kinchen, the Colonels won the first two games ever played in Guidry Stadium, then known simply as Colonel Stadium. NSU defeated Ouachita Bapist 12-7 in its home opener then a week later defeated Slippery Rock 18-14.

Nicholls finished its first season with a 3-8 record then went 2-9 the following year.

Kinchen assumed the head coaching duties after two years at Rice (1969-70) where he coached both the offensive and defensive lines.

His coaching career began at Glen Oaks High School in Baton Rouge after letting three years as an offensive lineman at Louisiana State (1961-63).

Nicholls State 28, Appalachian State 26

nov. 29, 1986 • Boone, n.c.

Nicholls State survived a fourth-quarter rally to defeat Appalachian State 28-26 and advance to the quarterfinals of the 1986 NCAA Division I-AA Championship.

Mountaineer place kicker Bjorn Nittmo missed a 42-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining as the Colonels held on for the win.

NSU led 28-19 with 3:24 remaining when Jimbo Windham kicked a 40-yard field goal. The Colonels had driven from their own 25 to the Appalachian State 23 before settling for three points.

The Mountaineers got right back into the hunt on their next possession when Todd Payton hooked up with Doug Beaty for a 76-yard pass down to the Colonel four. Two plays later, John Settle scored on a five-yard touchdown run.

Nittmo’s point-after made it 28-26 with 2:13 left to play.An unsuccessful ASU on-side kick led to the Colonels taking

possession at the Mountaineer 43.After a couple runs by Brian Stropolo, Doug Hudson’s third-down

pass was picked off by Mountaineer linebacker Cedric Felton at ASU’s 42.

Appalachian State moved the ball to the Colonel 25 before Nittmo’s kick went wide left. It was the kicker’s second miss of the day.

Nicholls State found a way to win despite giving up 544 yards of total offense. Settle set Division I-AA playoff records with 37 carries for 236 yards, including 151 in the second half.

Kevin Smoot, who lead the Colonels with 21 carries for 57 yards, had a one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. After a 21-yard run by Hudson, Melvin Lewis broke off the right side for a touchdown run to give NSU a 25-13 lead at the beginning of the fourth period to cap a string of 19 unanswered points for Nicholls.

Montana 48, Nicholls State 3

nov. 30, 1996 • Missoula, Mont.

Montana sophomore quarterback Brian Ah Yat passed for 363 yards and three touchdowns as the Grizzlies defeated Nicholls State 48-3 in the first round of the 1996 Division I-AA playoffs.

It was Nicholls State’s first appearance in the I-AA playoffs since 1986. Montana, the defending national champions, took its first step back to advancing back to the national championship game with the win over the Colonels.

The Colonels knew all about the Grizzlies’ high-flying aerial attack but it was the Griz defense which shutdown NSU like a Montana blizzard closes down Interstate 90. Nicholls managed just 129 yards of total offense in the game, 64 rushing and 65 passing.

Nicholls’ lone score was set up by a 33-yard interception return by Ricky Wilson down to the Montana 9. Adam Diel kicked a 42-yard field goal with 14 seconds left in the first quarter to cut the Grizzlies’ lead to 10-3.

Montana scored on consecutive drives in the second quarter to take a 24-3 lead at the half. The Griz had 317 yards of total offense by the end of the first quarter to the Colonels’ 32. Montana finished with 545 yards of total offense, including 447 passing.

Furman 14, Nicholls State 12

nov. 26, 2005 • greenville, S.c.

The Colonels championship season came to an end, as the Furman Paladins used a stingy defense to sneak past Nicholls, 14-12.

Nicholls scored the first points of the game. After Furman’s Jerome Felton fumbled at the Paladins’ 34-yard line, Naton Stewart returned the ball 11 yards. After gaining six yards, Alex Romero kicked a 34-yard field goal with 11:21 left in the first quarter to give the Colonels an early 3-0 lead.

After threatening on several occasions, Nicholls quarterback Yale Vannoy threw a 40-yard pass to Michael Okoronkwo to help setup a 11-yard DeMarko Hutchinson scamper that put Nicholls inside the Paladins 10-yard line. Like it did most of the day, Furman’s defense stepped up and forced a field goal attempt. Romero got the call and converted on a 20-yard try to give the Colonels a 6-0 lead with 11:21 remaining in the half.

After exchanging possession, the Paladins gained momentum following two rushes for 30 yards by Cedrick Gipson and an Ingle Martin 17-yard dash that put Furman on the Colonels 33-yard line. Two plays later, Martin hit Justin Stepp for a 29-yard completion in the endzone to give the Paladins a 7-6 lead heading into the locker room.

Furman carried the momentum gained from their last scoring drive into the third quarter. In a drive that saw the Paladins keeping the ball on the ground for all but five yards, Furman drove 57 yards in 15 plays, capped by a one-yard run by Martin to extend their lead to 14-6 with 8:06 remaining in the third quarter.

Determined not to let their championship season end, the Colonels answered with a score of their own. Facing third-and-9 from their 21-yard line, the Paladins Andrew Thacker was called for pass interference, giving Nicholls first-and-10 from their 36-yard line. Following a series of rushes by a trio of Colonels, Vannoy completed a 22-yard pass to Kenly Horton on fourth-and-3 for a Nicholls touchdown with 2:02 remaining in the third quarter. However, the Colonels’ two-point attempt failed, giving Furman a two-point advantage at 14-12.

The Colonels were led by senior quarterback Vannoy, who finished the game with 13 carries for 46 yards. He also went 3-for-8 passing for 72 yards and a touchdown. Joseph Tobias averaged 4.5 yards per carry, with 90 yards on 20 attempts.

Toney Edison led Nicholls on the defensive side of the ball with nine tackles, one tackle for a loss, one fumble recovery and one blocked field goal.

Battle for the PaddleEver since 1998, whenever Nicholls and Texas State meet on the gridiron they have been engaged in the annual “Battle for

the Paddle.” The idea for the contest was born in 1998 after a Nicholls-Texas State game had to be rescheduled due to floods that ravaged the San Marcos, Texas area. Each season, a paddle is presented to the contest’s victor in memory of area residents who lost their lives in the flood. The wooden paddle is painted with the grey and red of Nicholls on one side and maroon and gold of Texas State on the other side. Nicholls has held onto the paddle for six of the last seven years.

Athletic DirectorRob Bernardi

enters his tenth season as director of athletics at Nicholls State. With that, he becomes the seond longest tenured athletics director in the school’s history behind the legendary Ray Didier. Stability,

creativity, integrity and progress are the words that best describe Bernardi’s tenure at Nicholls.

Since arriving in Thibodaux, Bernardi has reinvigorated Nicholls athletics by transforming the department into a modern, progressive program aimed at increasing funding, improving facilities and enhancing the student-athlete experience. The California native’s energy has worn off on coaches, student-athletes and members of the support staff.

Bernardi helped orchestrate the renewal of a self-assessed student fee to help support Colonel athletics. It was the first time in more than two decades that intercollegiate athletics at Nicholls received funding directly from student fees. The added funding in conjunction with increased private support has helped rejuvenate athletic facilitates and restore a sense of pride in Colonel athletics.

Improved facilities and added pride are not the only areas where Bernardi has brought about changes to the athletic program. Improving gradation rates and upgrading the academic services provided to Colonel athletes has been a goal of the department since Bernardi took over eight years ago. The commitment to academics has begun to show positive results in the form of higher graduation rates and improved APR (Academic Progress Rates) scores. Colonel athletes are graduating at increasingly higher rates than ever before.

Bernardi is credited with bringing the Manning Passing Academy to Nicholls State University. The football camp, which features Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning, has brought national attention to the Thibodaux community. The nationally recognized football camp finished its fifth year on the Nicholls campus, MPA attracts nearly 1000 young athletes to Nicholls and has become a summer attraction for the community, and economic success for the local community.

Bernardi has been active within the NCAA governance process having served on numerous NCAA committees. Currently Rob Bernardi is a member of the Division I Football Championship Committee, the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, and the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee. In the past he has served on the NCAA Interpretations Committee and the Division I Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet.

John L. Guidry Stadium has served as Nicholls State football’s only home since the school began playing the sport on the intercollegiate level in 1972. The facility is named in honor of former Galliano state representative John L. Guidry who was instrumental in the establishment of Francis T. Nicholls Junior College.

The stadium features a three-level press box on the west side. The second level houses an area for game management staff, radio and coaches’ booths and a working press area that was established following a renovation project that was completed prior to the 1999 season. The president’s suite and a new 30-seat club level, which was also part of the 1999 press box renovation, is located on the third level. A photo deck is located on the roof. Just prior to the start of the 2001 season, a new scoreboard, complete with graphic animation features as well as a new sound system was installed.

Adjacent to the elevator landing at ground level is the Colonels’ Club Room. Colonels’ Club members use the building as a hospitality area before home games as well as for various university functions throughout the year.

Guidry Stadium is located adjacent to the Frank Barker Athletic Building, which houses the NSU football coaches’ offices, locker rooms, the sports medicine department and the sports information office. The NSU Strength & Conditioning facility and a 50-yard artificial turf field are located directly behind Barker Hall.

The stadium was officially dedicated on September 16, 1972 as Nicholls State defeated Ouachita Baptist 12-7.

Hermon Grissom drilled a 37-yard field goal in the opening period for the first score in the stadium.

JohN l. gUiDry staDiUm

Chris “Gator” Gardner caught a 27-yard pass from Lonnie Rogers for the first Colonel touchdown in the stadium as NSU came from behind to win.

The facility was originally referred to as Colonel Stadium but was renamed in Guidry’s honor Sept. 15, 1973.

In 38 seasons, the Colonels have posted a 105-87-3 record in Guidry Stadium.

In 1975, Nicholls State captured the Gulf South Conference championship with an 8-2 record, including a 6-0 mark at home. It is the only time Nicholls has gone undefeated at home. The 1996 Colonels capped the program’s 25th anniversary season by going 5-1 in Guidry Stadium.

The five largest crowds to see Nicholls State play in the stadium have come against intra-state rival Southern University, including a record 14,125 in the first Jaguar-Colonel game played in the stadium in 1981.

The stadium underwent an unexpected facelift during the 1992 season after suffering $150,000 worth of damage during Hurricane Andrew.

The concrete facade between the third-floor glass and the roof was ripped away by strong winds during the storm and falling debris destroyed 52 chair back seats. Glass on the south side of the press box on both the second and third levels was also blown out.

Members of the media had a rare opportunity to enjoy the first three home games in an open-air press box while the stadium was in repair.

Guidry Stadium was originally constructed at a cost of nearly $2 million.
