JSU's Cooper and Pearson on Walter Payton Award Watch List: Jacksonville State junior quar-terback Zerrick Cooper and senior wide receiver Josh Pearson are two of the initial 25 players named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List. The award, sponsored by STATS and fi rst awarded in 1987, is given to the top offensive player in the FCS and has twice been won by an OVC player: Eastern Illinois’ Tony Romo (2002) and Jimmy Garoppolo (2013). The Payton Watch List can undergo revision during the season. A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations direc-tors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will vote on the winner following the regular season.

Three OVC Players on Buck Buchanan Award Watch List: Three OVC players have been named to the 2019 Buck Buchanan Award Watch List by STATS. The award is given to the top defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The OVC selections were Jacksonville State senior defensive back Marlon Bridges, Southeast Missouri senior linebacker Zach Hall and East-ern Kentucky senior defensive lineman Aaron Patrick. The watch list will have updates during the season. A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will vote on 25 fi nalists following the regular season. The award was fi rst bestowed in 1995 and the fi rst OVC player to win the honor was Jacksonville State's Darius Jackson in 2017. A year ago it became back-to-back OVC winners as SEMO's Hall won the honor. Hall is seeking to become the second two-time winner of the Buck Buchanan Award (Appalachian State linebacker Dexter Coakley in 1995-96).

Sgt. York Trophy Presented by Delta Dental and Farm Bureau Health Plans: This year marks the 13th of the Sgt. York Trophy presented by Delta Dental of Tennessee and Farm Bureau Health Plans. The trophy (founded in 2007 by the Nashville Sports Council and OVC) goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four OVC football-playing schools located in the state of Tennessee (Austin Peay, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin). The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor. The trophy goes to the team with the best record against the other schools (in case of a tie there will be co-champions and the actual trophy will be retained by the defending champion if they are involved in the tie or if the defending champion is not involved in the tie it will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy).

NCAA Division I Playoff Information: This season marks the seventh of an expanded 24-team fi eld for the NCAA Division I Football Championship; in 2010 the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoff fi eld expanded to 20 teams, up from 16 previously, and in 2013 the fi eld increased to 24 for the fi rst time. The expansion in 2010 to 20 teams was the fi rst since the fi eld grew from 12 to 16 teams in 1997. The 24-team fi eld is comprised of 10 automatic bids and 14 at-large berths. There are eight fi rst round matchups (16 total teams), while eight (8) teams receive a bye into the second round. For the 10th time in 2019, the championship game will be played in Frisco, Texas at Toyota

Recent Playoff Success: Beginning with the 2001 season the OVC went until 2013 without a FCS Playoff victory. But over the past six seasons OVC teams have performed well in the playoffs. In 2013 the OVC placed three teams in the fi eld for the fi rst time and each won at least one game with Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville State advancing to the quarterfi nals (the fi rst time that had happened in the league since 1991). In 2015 Jacksonville State (who during that year became the fi rst OVC team ranked No. 1 in the Top 25 since 1999) won three playoff games to become the fi rst OVC team to advance to the National Championship game since 1982. Along the way JSU set an OVC record for points in a playoff game with 58 against Charleston Southern in the quarterfi nals, and then broke the record a week later in a 62-10 victory over Sam Houston State in the semifi nals. A year ago Jacksonville State and Southeast Missouri each won a game in the playoffs.

All-Americans, 2018 All-Conference selections, and conference nominations. Players were reviewed based on their eligibility and inclusion on their team's 2019 roster.

Bridges Named National Defensive Player of the Week by STATS (Sept. 16): Jacksonville State senior defensive back Marlon Bridges was named the National Defensive Player of the Week by STATS on September 16 for his play in the Gamecocks win over No. 4 Eastern Washington. With the team trailing 28-7 after one quarter, Bridges intercepted a pass on the fi rst play of the second quarter and returned it 67 yards for a touchdown to ignite the comeback. It marked his third career interception return for a touchdown, tying the school record. Bridges also forced a fumble, had nine tackles (3.0 for loss) and added a sack as JSU would win 49-45.

Fisher Named National Player of the Week (Sept. 2): Tennessee Tech sophomore quarterback Bailey Fisher was named the FCS National Offensive Player of the Week by STATS on Sept. 2 after his performance in a 59-58 double overtime victory over Samford. Fisher accounted for 463 yards of total offense, fi ve touchdowns (2 passing, 3 rushing) and three two-point conversions as Tennessee Tech overcame a 23-point second half defi cit. From the 0:51 mark in the third quarter, Fisher threw two touchdowns passes, rushed for three touchdowns, then also completed three of four 2-point conver-sions, including the game-tying (rush) to send the game to overtime. The fi nal two touchdowns and two-point conversions came in the fi nal 1:18 of regulation, as Tech had trailed 44-28 with 2:20 to play. After the teams traded touchdowns in the fi rst overtime, Samford took a lead on the fi rst possession of the second extra period. Following a touchdown run by Andrew Fleming, Bailey converted the win-ning two-point conversion, a pass to David Gist, to give his team the win. Fisher fi nished the game 31-of-44 for 415 yards and two touchdowns (no interceptions) and rushed 13 times for 48 yards and three touchdowns. The 415 passing yards and the 463 yards of total offense were each the third-best performances in TTU history. In addition, Fisher also punted the ball twice for 76 yards, pinning both inside the Samford 20-yard line. Fisher was responsible for 36 points, the most of any Division I player (FBS or FCS) in the country in week one.

Academic Success: During the past academic year (2018-19) there were 106 OVC football student-athletes who were named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll for having a 3.25 grade point average or higher. In addition, 10 student-athletes were awarded the OVC Academic Medal of Honor for achieving perfect 4.0 GPAs. The OVC also awards a Team Academic Award for the football program with the highest percentage of players with a 3.25 grade point average or higher; that award went to Murray State for 2018-19.

A Look at the Coaches: Seven of the nine OVC coaches from last season return to their respec-tive teams in 2019. Jacksonville State's John Grass, Tennessee State's Rod Reed and Tennessee Tech's Dewayne Alexander are currently coaching at their alma maters. The longest tenured coach in the league is UT Martin’s Jason Simpson who is in his 14th season with the Skyhawks in 2019. Simpson has 81 overall victories in his career, tied for sixth-most in OVC history (one win away from tying for sixth-place).

NFL Connections: As of September 23, there are 18 former Ohio Valley Conference players on NFL rosters (11 active, 4 practice squad, 4 injured reserve). Those players include former Eastern Illinois standout quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who has won two Super Bowl Championship with the Patri-ots and is now the starter for the San Francisco 49ers, and Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a former First Round Draft pick who was a starter for the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII and who has been a Pro Bowl selection (he is currently on IR with the Redskins). Seven of the nine current OVC football schools have at least one player in the NFL.

Preseason Forecasts: For the sixth-straight year and eighth time in the past 10 years, Jacksonville State has been picked the preseason football favorite in the Ohio Valley Conference for 2019. The Gamecocks, who have won fi ve-straight OVC Championships and 39 of its last 40 OVC games, received 14 of a possible 18 fi rst-place votes in a poll of league head coaches and communications directors. The Gamecocks totaled 126 total points to out-distance Southeast Missouri, who ended the Gamecocks 36-game OVC win streak a season ago and earned an at-large berth into the FCS playoffs, who picked up the other four fi rst-place votes and was tabbed second (115 points). Eastern Kentucky was picked third (98) and followed by Austin Peay (70), Murray State and Tennessee State (61), UT Martin (60), Eastern Illinois (35) and Tennessee Tech (22).

JSU's Cooper, SEMO's Hall Headline Preseason All-OVC Team: Jacksonville State junior quarter-back Zerrick Cooper and Southeast Missouri State senior linebacker Zach Hall were named the 2019 OVC Preseason Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in a vote of by the league’s head football coaches and communications directors. Jacksonville State led the way with seven total preseason selections, while Southeast Missouri followed with six picks, Tennessee State had four selections, Eastern Kentucky, Murray State and UT Martin had three apiece, Austin Peay had two picks and East-ern Illinois had one. Returning players who were fi rst-team All-OVC selections last year (15 in total) were automatic selections to the preseason team this year. The squad also included eight players who were second-team picks in 2018. Of the 29 total selections, 26 were seniors and three were juniors.

Let’s Get It Started: The 72nd season of Ohio Valley Conference football got underway on Thursday, August 29. The OVC is made up of nine football-playing schools; since its beginning, 15 of the 18 total schools that have played football in the league have claimed at least one championship.

Instant Replay: For the third-straight year, the OVC will have instant replay for all non-conference and conference home football contests. The league has partnered with DVSport to implement replay which is defi ned by Rule 12 of the NCAA Football Rule Book.

I-AA No More: Although some people may still refer to it as I-AA football, the term that represents the level of Division I football in which the Ohio Valley Conference competes has been long retired. Beginning with the 2006 National Championship game, the term Football Championship Subdivision (or FCS) is to be used. Teams who play at the FCS level can offer a maximum of 63 scholarships (Football Bowl Subdivision teams can offer 85) and compete in a 24-team playoff at the end of the season to determine the national champion.

2019 OVC Football Weekly Release - September 23 • 6

The 2019 season marks the 13th of competition for the Sergeant York Trophy, an award created by the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference. The trophy is contested between the four OVC football-playing schools in the state of Tennessee - Austin Peay, Tennessee State, Tennes-see Tech and UT Martin - and goes to the team with the best combined record versus those schools in a given year.

The award is co-sponsored by Delta Dental of Ten-nessee and Farm Bureau Health Plans.

In the event of a tie, the award will be shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy.

The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor. Following the war York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational op-portunities for children in the state of Tennessee.

GAME NOTES: Two of the top three defensive teams in the OVC meet to open Conference play on Saturday. This marks the 30th all-time meeting between the schools. The series has seen JSU win 12-straight games, which is every meeting since Austin Peay rejoined the OVC after playing non-scholarship football 2007-present). The Govs last win came in 1979 (prior to that JSU won six in a row in the series). A year ago Austin Peay got off to a 9-0 advantage after the fi rst quarter and JSU led 28-26 after three periods before exploding for 20 points in the fourth quarter to win 48-32. Zerrick Cooper tossed three touchdowns passes (two to Jamari Hester) and ran for two more for the Gamecocks while the Governors were led by Jeremiah Oatsvall who passed for four scores. Austin Peay is 9-3 at Fortera Stadium over the past three seasons. APSU head coach Mark Hudspeth was the head coach at North Alabama from 2002-08, including playing against JSU during the 2003 season (a 28-16 UNA victory during a year the team went 13-1 and made the Division II Playoff semifi nals).

SCOUTING JACKSONVILLE STATE: Jacksonville State extended its home regular season winning streak to 31 games (dating back to 2013) with a 30-12 win over North Alabama. The Gamecocks used several big plays to put away the Lions, as Zerrick Cooper and Josh Pearson connected on touchdown passes of 67 and 53 yards. Pearson was named OVC Co-Offensive Player of the Week after fi nishing the game with seven catches for a career-best 149 yards and three touchdowns. Pearson now has 22 career touchdowns catches, one away from tying the JSU career record and four away from joining the OVC career Top 10. Cooper had 279 yards of total offense in the games (266 passing, 13 rushing) and ranks fourth nationally in that category (348.8 yards/game). Overall Pearson, Jamari Hester and Trae Barry each rank in the Top 50 nationally in receiving yards, making JSU the only team nationally with three individuals in the Top 50. Punter Jason Pierce was named OVC Co-Specialist of the Week after averaging 41.4 yards on fi ve punts, including downing two inside the UNA 2-yard line. JSU is 13th nationally in passing offense (319.5 yards/game).

SCOUTING AUSTIN PEAY: Despite having a 14-10 lead entering the fourth quarter, Austin Peay saw East Tennessee State score 10 unanswered points over the fi nal 6:58 to pull out the 20-14 win in Johnson City. It was the fi rst meeting between the former OVC rivals since 1978. DeAngelo Wilson had nine catches for a season-high 137 yards in the game; he currently ranks eighth nationally in total receiving yards (423) and 12th in receiving yards/game (105.8). Wilson also had 49 punt return yards to fi nish the game with 186 all-purpose yards. Starting his second-straight game, JaVaughn Craig passed for 218 yards and rushed for 40 yards while Kentel Williams added a game-high 72 yards on the ground. On the defensive side of the ball Juantarius Bryant had a game-high 13 tackles. Jack McDonald recovered a fumble and picked off a pass to go along with fi ve tackles for the Govs defense. As a team Austin Peay is fi rst nationally in fumbles lost (0), second in punt return defense (-5.0 yards/return), third in defensive touchdowns (2), fourth in rushing defense (69.5 yards/game), eighth in sacks allowed (0.5/game) and 14th in total defense (290.3 yards/game).

GAME NOTES: After traveling to Western Illinois for a non-conference game last week, Tennessee Tech heads back to the Land of Lincoln to open OVC play at Eastern Illinois. EIU has won seven-straight and 12 of 14 in the all-time series. TTU won back-to-back games in 2010 and 2011. During its current seven-game winning streak in the series, Eastern Illinois has scored 30 or more points in six of the seven games and 40 or more points in four of the matchups. In last year's meeting it was an offensive showdown as the two teams combined for 90 points and 1,125 yards of total offense. Ten-nessee Tech led last year's game 10-7 after the fi rst quarter before Eastern Illinois exploded for 24 unanswered points on its way to the 52-38 win. Harry Woodbery passed for 339 yards and fi ve touchdowns while Isaiah Johnson rushed for 161 yards for the Panthers. Bailey Fisher passed for 383 yards and four touchdowns for the Golden Eagles.

SCOUTING TENNESSEE TECH: Tennessee Tech is off to its best start since 2011 after going on the road and besting Western Illinois 38-24 last week. It marked the fi rst road non-conference victory for the Golden Eagles since 2013 (Hampton). The start of the game at WIU was delayed nearly two and a half hours because of weather but that did not hamper the TTU offense that scored on its second possession of the game. The team's lead would grow to 24-3 midway through the third quarter and 31-10 early in the fourth period. Although Western Illinois scored two touchdowns in a 48-second span later in the quarter, quarterback Bailey Fisher put the game away with a 26-yard rushing touchdown. That was one of fi ve touchdowns on the day for Fisher (3 rushing, 2 passing) who accounted for 404 yards of total offense and was named OVC Co-Offensive Player of the Week. Fisher is now third nationally in rushing touchdowns (7), 15th in scoring (11.0 points/game) and 15th in points responsible for (18.0/game). He connected with freshman Metrius Fleming for seven catches and 165 yards; that performance earned Fleming his second-straight (and third overall) OVC Newcomer of the Week honor. Sophomore linebacker Seth Carlisle was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week after intercepting two passes (including one on WIU's fi nal drive of the game). As a team Tennessee Tech is third nationally in kickoff returns (32.44 yards/return), sixth in kickoff return defense (13.94 yards/return) and eighth in fumbles recovered (5).

SCOUTING EASTERN ILLINOIS: After trailing Indiana State 13-0 at halftime, Eastern Illinois trimmed the margin to 13-6 and was driving to tie the game in the fourth quarter before a turnover (the team's fourth of the day) ended the drive. The Panthers continue to struggle offensively, averaging only 4.8 points/game (last in the FCS entering the week). The Panthers defense has been tough this season, ranking 48th nationally in total defense. They allowed Indiana State to score on a 69-yard pass play late in the fi rst quarter, but after limited the Sycamores to just three fi eld goals. EIU is third in the OVC in red zone defense (76.5%) thrown four games. Sophomore Austin Johnson made a team-high 13 tackles, including three tackles-for-loss, while Dytarious Johnson and Antonio Crosby added 10 stops apiece. Dytarious now leads the Panthers with 22 tackles (4.0 for loss) on the season. EIU is the least penalized team in the OVC.

Rowland, who ranks fi rst nationally in receptions/game (10.5) and total receiving yards (667), has 42 catches through four games. Rowland, who is also third nationally in all-purpose yards (222.0/game) is on pace for 126 catches (10 off the FCS all-time record). Newbold had 91 receiving yards and moved into ninth place on the TSU career receiving yards (2,114). Larry Wilhoite had a pair of interceptions in the game and is now tied for 11th nationally in that category (0.7/game). As a team TSU is fi rst nationally in blocked kicks (4) and eighth in passing offense (328.0 yards/game).

SCOUTING EASTERN KENTUCKY: After back-to-back losses, Eastern Kentucky got back on the winning track with a 35-10 road victory against Presbyterian. Presbyterian led 10-7 after a quarter but would not score the rest of the way against a defense ranked second in the OVC and 25th nationally in total defense (324.5 yards/game). The Colonels offense was sparked by redshirt freshman Parker McKinney who entered the game and directed four scoring drive, including passing for a pair of touchdowns on 14-of-20 passing and running for another score. Senior Daryl McCleskey Jr. rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown in the win; he now ranks sixth nation-ally in rushing yards/carry (7.61), ninth in total rushing yards (388) and 15th in rushing (97.0 yards/game). Teammate Alonzo Booth, who had 56 yards and a score, is eighth in the FCS in rushing touchdowns (5). EKU fi nished the game with a season-best 452 yards of total offense. On the defensive side of the ball Joseph Sayles, making just his second career start, had a pair of interceptions for a defense that limited PC to just 224 yards of total offense. In its three games against FCS teams this year, the EKU defense has allowed 12 points and 252 yards of total offense/game.
