120.3 receiving yards per game (10th in NCAA II).<br />
Today will be the third recorded meeting<br />

<strong>TUSCULUM</strong> SCOUTING REPORT<br />
It has been a balanced team effort for the<br />
Tusculum Pioneers through their first three contests.<br />
TC has been getting impressive offensive<br />
numbers from its passing attack, while the Tusculum<br />
defense leads the league against the run,<br />
while recording a South Atlantic Conference best<br />
14 quarterback sacks, including 13 over the last<br />
two weeks.<br />
The offensive unit, which continues to boast<br />
one of the top passing attacks in the country, is<br />
led by sophomore quarterback Bo Cordell, the<br />
2009 South Atlantic Conference Offensive Freshman<br />
of the Year. The 6-1, 195-pound Cincinnati,<br />
Ohio product has passed for 1,157 yards and eight<br />
touchdowns through three games this season.<br />
Cordell leads the league in pass offense<br />
(385.7 ypg - 2nd in NCAA II) and total offense (386.3<br />
ypg - 2nd in NCAA II), while accounting for nine<br />
touchdowns, including five (4 pass, 1 rush) in last<br />
weekend’s 54-30 win over FCS Western Carolina.<br />
In 2009, Cordell passed for 3,458 yards and<br />
23 touchdowns. He established three NCAA II<br />
Freshman records, while his passing yardage tally<br />
was the second most in school history and the<br />
fourth most by a SAC signal caller.<br />
In his last seven starts, Cordell has passed<br />
for over 300 in six of those outings, including his<br />
last five. During his last seven games, Cordell is<br />
averaging 388 passing yards per game, including<br />
21 touchdowns.<br />
TC’s top returning wideout is junior Rashaad<br />
Carter. The 2010 Preseason All-SAC Second Team<br />
pick is second in the conference in receptions (23)<br />
and fourth in receiving yards (297 - 6th in NCAA II).<br />
Carter (Stone Mountain, Ga.) has also accounted<br />
for a pair of TD receptions. In this year’s home<br />
opener against Charleston, he recorded career<br />
highs with 11 catches for 166 yards. He became<br />
the 12th Pioneer in school history to eclipse 1,000<br />
receiving yards for his career. He enters this<br />
week’s game with 1,165 yards on 82 receptions.<br />
Junior Deonte’ Gist (Wellford, S.C.) is leading<br />
the league in receiving yards, averaging 120.3<br />
yards per contest. Gist has tallied 361 receiving<br />
yards (2nd in NCAA II) on 22 carries (7.33 rpg - 4th<br />
in SAC). Gist posted 141 receiving yards on six<br />
catches last week against Western Carolina. The<br />
Preseason All-SAC Second Team selection preceded<br />
that with his career-best 10-catch, 151-yard<br />
effort at Findlay.<br />
Also garnering Preseason All-SAC honors is<br />
senior Calvin Britt. Britt, a 6-0, 190-pound product<br />
of Augusta, Ga., has the ability to be one of<br />
Tusculum’s best big-play receivers in school history.<br />
He enters this week’s contest averaging<br />
21.42 yards per reception during his career, which<br />
is tops in school history. He has accounted for<br />
1,671 receiving yards (5th in TC history) and 19<br />
touchdowns, which are tied for the most ever by<br />
a Pioneer. In 2010, Britt has recorded 12 catches<br />
for 174 yards and two touchdowns, both coming<br />
last week at WCU.<br />
Junior Michael Rodriguez, a 6-1, 190-pound<br />
tight end from Columbia, S.C., is third on the team<br />
this year with his 14 receptions for 114 yards and<br />
two touchdowns. Rodriguez sixth in the league<br />
averaging 4.67 catches per contest.<br />
Junior Jonathan Lyons (6-2, 190, Hampton,<br />
Tenn.), has seen an increase in playing time, both<br />
on offense and on special teams. Lyons leads the<br />
team in kick-off returns, averaging 25 yards per<br />
return, which is fifth in the conference.<br />
Making the move from defensive side of the<br />
ball is sophomore Orlando Price (6-2, 200, Colum-<br />
bia, S.C.), who has joined the receiving corps and<br />
is competing for playing time at tight end.<br />
New to the program is North Carolina transfer<br />
Joshua McKie. The 6-0, 195-pound red-shirt<br />
freshman from Mauldin, S.C. is also be joined by<br />
rookie Xzanvion Smith (5-11, 180, Anderson, S.C.).<br />
Smith scored his first TD as a Pioneer last week at<br />
WCU as he hauled in a 73-yard scoring grab, the<br />
13th longest in school history.<br />
Sophomore Brian Marshall is the starting<br />
running back in the Tusculum backfield. Marshall<br />
(5-7, 180, Chattanooga, Tenn.), who redshirted<br />
last season, has emerged as TC’s leading rusher<br />
with 70 yards on 24 carries. He has also made 10<br />
receptions for 74 yards.<br />
True freshman Chad Blakely (5-10, 180, Knoxville,<br />
Tenn.) has seen a good amount of playing<br />
time early this season in the TC backfield. He is<br />
second on the team in rushing (63) and fifth in allpurpose<br />
yardage (123).<br />
Redshirt freshmen Chad Coleman (6-0, 245,<br />
Andersonville, Tenn.) and Jeffrey Booker (5-10,<br />
185, Maryville, Tenn.) and will also be looking to<br />
contribute in the TC backfield. Booker rushed for<br />
23 yards on four carries last week at WCU.<br />
The Pioneer offensive front returns four starters<br />
from last year’s team. Anchoring the offensive<br />
line this season is 2009 All-SAC Second Team<br />
guard Hannibal Ruiz. The 6-2, 310-pound product<br />
of Atlanta, Ga. has started in every game he has<br />
appeared in during his Tusculum career and is a<br />
Preseason All-SAC First Team choice this year.<br />
Senior Casey Sivert (6-5, 270, Rogersville, Tenn.)<br />
returns for his collegiate finale, while juniors Josh<br />
Stone (6-1, 320, Smithville, Tenn.) and Dustin<br />
Moorehead (6-4, 285, Elora, Tenn.) are back. Also<br />
returning are seniors Brandon Priest (6-2, 290,<br />
Loganville, Ga.) and Eric Jefferson (6-1, 280, Atlanta,<br />
Ga.), junior Pat Aiken (6-1, 280, Greenwood,<br />
S.C.), sophomores Israel Pickens (6-4, 300, Piedmont,<br />

Ga.), and redshirt freshmen David Davis (6-4, 275,<br />
McEwen, Tenn.), Christian Bell (6-2, 285,<br />
Madisonville, Tenn.) and Nate Riddle (6-6, 320,<br />
Canton, Ga.). Newcomer Lee Kizer (6-2, 290, Portland,<br />
Tenn.) has worked his way onto the TC depth<br />
chart at center during fall drills.<br />
The Tusculum defense returns five starters<br />
for first-year defensive coordinator Kevin Weston.<br />
Weston, who is entering his sixth year on the<br />
coaching staff at his alma mater, and third as assistant<br />
head coach. Weston will also be coaching<br />
the TC linebackers after mentoring the TC defensive<br />
line for the last five years.<br />
The Pioneer defense has stepped up in the<br />
first three games of the season, limiting opponents<br />
to 15 points per game (3rd in SAC) and leads<br />
the league in sacks with 14, including four last<br />
week at WCU. Tusculum finished last in the conference<br />
last year in sacks with eight.<br />
Junior college transfer Boomer Brown (5-11,<br />
235, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) has made quite an impression<br />
in his in his first three Tusculum outings.<br />
He led all players with 15 tackles, including one<br />
for loss in his TC debut against Charleston. He is<br />
tied for the team lead with 24 tackles (T8th in<br />

each against Charleston and Findlay. In the<br />
Findlay game, Rashaun posted a tackle for loss<br />
and forced a fumble.<br />
One of the biggest performances in the early<br />
season has come from sophomore Luke Harris (6-<br />
1, 185, Floyd, Va.). Luke is tied for the team-lead<br />
with 24 tackles (8th in SAC), including five for loss<br />
and a sack. He led all players with 10 stops last<br />
week at WCU, including seven solo hits.<br />
Senior Marcus Jackson finished seventh on<br />
the team last year with 43 tackles, including 25<br />
solo stops. The 5-10, 185-pound North Augusta,<br />
S.C. native accounted for three tackles for loss and<br />
a pass break-up.<br />
Senior Darrion Ashby (5-11, 155, Compton,<br />
Calif.) added nine stops and five pass break-ups a<br />
year ago and started this season well seven tackles<br />
and a team-best three passes defended<br />
through the first two games.<br />
Juniors Justin Arrington (5-9, 155, Union City,<br />
Ga.) and Kent Aigbe (6-1, 190, Antioch, Tenn.)<br />
posted nine and seven tackles, respectively in<br />
2009. Arrington established Tusculum history last<br />
week at WCU. With the Catamounts driving,<br />
Arrington picked up a fumble and returned it 90<br />
yards for the game’s first score. It was the longest<br />
fumble return in school history.<br />
Several incoming freshmen have made quite<br />
an impression so far this season, including LiRonta<br />
Archie (6-0, 185, Fairburn, Ga.), John Perry (6-1,<br />
185, Branford, Fla.) and Katron “Jelly” Becton (5-<br />
10, 165, Miami, Fla.). Becton posted an outstanding<br />
rookie debut as he finished with seven tackles<br />
and a pass break-up against Charleston. Archie<br />
has tallied 14 hits and recovered a fumble in his<br />
first three Pioneer contests.<br />
All-Region kicker Gareth Rowlands is looking<br />
to make his senior campaign the best. The<br />
Benllech, Wales product garnered All-SAC First<br />
Team honors last season is putting a staple on one<br />
of the all-time top kicking careers in Tusculum history.<br />
He already holds nine school single-game,<br />
season and career kicking records, including career<br />
points (189), career PATs made (97), PAT attempts<br />
(112), career field goals made (30) and career<br />
field goal attempts (49).<br />
Last week, he was successful on all eight of<br />
his kicks (6-6 PAT; 2-2 FG). He recorded 12 points,<br />
including field goals of 45 and 21 yards. For his<br />
efforts, he was named the SAC Special Teams<br />
Player of the Week.<br />
Rowlands led the team in scoring last season<br />
with 66 points (2nd in SAC), going 30-of-31 on<br />
extra points and 12-of-16 in field goals. The twotime<br />
ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District<br />
honoree led the SAC in field goals made (12, 17th<br />
in NCAA II) as he went a perfect 7-of-7 on field goals<br />
from 40-to-49 yards.<br />
He enters this week’s action having made<br />
each of his last 27 extra point attempts, including<br />
10-of-10 this season. He has also made six of his<br />
eight field goal attempts this season, including 3of-5<br />
two weeks ago at Findlay.<br />
Gone is All-American and Tusculum leading<br />
all-time punter John Gregory. Slated to take over<br />
the punting chores is redshirt freshman Andy<br />
Rosetti. The 5-11, 190-pound product from Kenneth<br />
City, Fla., is averaging 31.8 yards on his 18<br />
punts this season, incuding four inside the<br />
opponent’s 20-yard line and five fair catches.<br />
Rounding out the special teams is sophomore<br />
long-snapper Skylar West. West, a 6-5, 215pound<br />
Oneida, Tenn. native, garnered All-SAC First<br />
Team accolades in his first Tusculum campaign.<br />

<strong>TUSCULUM</strong>’S LAST <strong>GAME</strong><br />
Tusculum 54, Western Carolina 30<br />
September 11, 2010<br />
CULLOWHEE, N.C. --- Bo Cordell passed for 410<br />
yards and four touchdowns, while the Tusculum<br />
defense returned a pair of fumbles for scores as<br />
the Pioneers stunned host Western Carolina, 54-<br />
30 at E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field.<br />
The game was halted with 2:39 remaining in<br />
regulation due to inclement weather.<br />
The Pioneers (3-0) record their first win over<br />
the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision<br />
Catamounts (0-2) as Tusculum remains<br />
undefeated on the young season.<br />
Cordell went 25-for-45 on the night as he<br />
matches a career-best with four TD tosses on no<br />
interceptions. Deonte’ Gist had another<br />
outstanding performance with his six receptions<br />
for 141 yards. Calvin Britt accounted for three<br />
catches for 58 yards, including a pair of<br />
touchdowns, giving him 17 for his career, which<br />
ties the school record in that category.<br />
Defensively, Luke Harris accounted for 10<br />
tackles, including seven solo hits, while Jason<br />
Muehling made seven stops, including a sack and<br />
returned a fumble 60 yards for his first collegiate<br />
touchdown. It was also the third longest fumble<br />
return in Tusculum history.<br />
The Catamounts were in position to score<br />
driving to the TC 9, but Tusculum’s Justin Arrington<br />
picked up a fumble and scampered 90 yards at<br />
the 9:35 mark of the first quarter. Gareth<br />
Rowlands added the extra point for a 7-0 lead.<br />
The 90-yard fumble return is the longest in school<br />
history, surpassing the previous best of 79 by Josh<br />
Hubbard at North Alabama in 2005.<br />
The turnover sparked 27 straight points by<br />
the Pioneers. Following a missed WCU field goal<br />
attempt, Tusculum marched 80 yards in 10 plays,<br />
capped off by a seven-yard TD pass from Cordell<br />
to Britt with 13:31 left in the second quarter.<br />
TC’s second offensive touchdown was set up<br />
when Billy Pooser blocked a punt and recovered<br />
it as the WCU 27. Two plays later, Cordell found<br />
Rashaad Carter in the end zone on a 29-yard TD<br />
strike and a 21-0 lead with 11:18 remaining before<br />
halftime.<br />
WCU’s next possession stalled at midfield<br />
and Tusculum took over at its own eight-yard line.<br />
Cordell orchestrated a 12-play, 92-yard march to<br />
pay-dirt, which he finished off with a one-yard<br />
quarterback keeper. TC converted on third down<br />
twice on the drive, including a 49-yard completion<br />
to Gist on third-and-10.<br />
The Catamounts broke up the shut-out when<br />
Zac Brindise completed a 20-yard touchdown<br />
pass to Deja Alexander with 10 seconds left in the<br />
half. Blake Bostic’s kick made it 27-7 at the<br />
intermission.<br />
WCU took the opening possession of the<br />
second half and went 67 yards on 10 plays, capped<br />
off by a Brindise 28-yard TD toss to Josh Cockrell<br />
as the Catamounts now trailed 27-14 at the 11:18<br />
mark of the third quarter.<br />
But Tusculum answered on the ensuing<br />
possession. Jonathan Lyons returned the kickoff<br />
39 yards to the TC 45. Cordell went 5-for-5 on the<br />
drive, including a 39-yard pass to Britt to put the<br />
Pioneers ahead 34-14 with 9:21 left in the quarter.<br />
Rowlands added a 45-yard field on<br />
Tusculum’s next possession for a 37-14 lead. TC<br />
added another touchdown on Muehling’s 60-yard<br />
fumble return at the 1:36 mark of the quarter.<br />
Tusculum scored its final touchdown of the<br />
night when Cordell completed a 73-yard strike to<br />
Xzanvion Smith with 9:50 left in the game for the<br />
12th longest pass play in school history.<br />
The Catamounts added a pair of touchdowns<br />
later in the game, while Rowlands converted on a<br />
21-yard field goal to wrap up the scoring.<br />
WCU out-gained the Pioneers by a 478-452<br />
margin, but Tusculum forced a pair of turnovers,<br />
while committing none on the evening.<br />
Brindise finished the night going 23-of-39 for<br />
304 yards and four touchdowns. Jacoby Mitchell<br />
posted eight receptions for 116 yards and a TD,<br />
while Cockrell accounted for four catches for 110<br />
yards and a score.<br />
<strong>URBANA</strong>’S LAST <strong>GAME</strong><br />
Urbana 44, Seton Hill 13<br />
September 11, 2010<br />
<strong>URBANA</strong>, Ohio --- The Urbana University<br />
football team dominated every facet of the game<br />
in a 44-13 home opening win over Seton Hill<br />
University. In the first half alone, the Blue Knights<br />
mounted 3 offensive scoring drives, while adding<br />
touchdowns on both defense and special teams<br />
to take a 30-0 lead into halftime.<br />
The Blue Knights finished the game with<br />
nearly twice as many total yards as the visiting<br />
Griffins. Urbana racked up 445 yards to Seton<br />
Hill's 223 total yards. Under windy conditions,<br />
Urbana managed to complete over 78% of its<br />
passes for 239 yards. The Griffins threw for just<br />
77 yards with 3 interceptions.<br />
Urbana struck pay dirt on their opening drive<br />
on a wide receiver pass. Junior Matt Hightower<br />
faked a reverse and threw the ball 31 yards to<br />
freshman and fellow receiver Joe Webb. Webb<br />
out-jumped his defender and came down with the<br />
ball for his first career touchdown.<br />
Urbana's lead doubled less than two<br />
minutes later when junior safety Juan McKeever<br />
jumped in front of a Griffin wide receiver and<br />
picked off a DJ Lenehan pass. McKeever sprinted<br />
61 yards across the middle of the field for the picksix<br />
touchdown.<br />
After a Rodion Potapenko 22-yard field goal<br />
in the second quarter, the Blue Knights special<br />
teams unit got in on the scoring. Sophomore<br />
Shane Cahill blocked a Seton Hill punt and redshirt<br />
freshman David McComas recovered the ball in<br />
the end zone to give Urbana a 23-0 advantage.<br />
With 4 ticks left on the first half clock, Urbana<br />
quarterback Evan Gehlert plunged into the end<br />
zone from a yard out to stake the home team to a<br />
30-0 first half lead. Gehlert would add two more<br />
touchdowns to his total in the second half. The<br />
first came on a third quarter pass to junior<br />
Diamond Hart, and the second was another 1-yard<br />
quarterback sneak in the final quarter.<br />
Seton Hill scored on a 53-yard fumble return<br />
by linebacker Nick McGahagan to open the second<br />
half and a Patrone Wood 4-yard scamper with just<br />
over three minutes remaining in the game.<br />
Leading the Blue Knights' offensive attack<br />
were quarterbacks Gehlert and D.J. Mendenhall.<br />
The dynamic duo rotated throughout the game,<br />
combining for 208 yards passing and 66 yards<br />
rushing. Gehlert found pay dirt three times, while<br />
Mendenhall was a perfect 8 for 8 passing. The<br />
freshman Mendenhall also added 71 yards<br />
rushing.<br />
Senior running back Boise Moon rushed for<br />
76 yards on 12 carries and redshirt freshman<br />
Breaker Heller added 40 yards on 8 attempts.<br />
Hart led all receivers with 8 catches for 103 yards.<br />
Webb finished with 3 receptions for 61 yards and<br />
the game's first score. Hightower also caught 3<br />
balls in addition to throwing once for a TD.<br />
On defense, the Blue Knights were once<br />
again led last year's D-II Independent Defensive<br />
Player of the Year, linebacker Travis Brisco. Brisco<br />
had 9 tackles, including 3 for a loss. He also added<br />
to his career record for sacks with 2 more,<br />
including a forced fumble a blindside sack in the<br />
third quarter. Linebacker and University of Illinois<br />
transfer Erique Robertson also had 9 tackles.<br />
Linebacker Traylin Taylor tallied 7 tackles and a<br />
forced fumble.<br />
McKeever intercepted 2 Lenehan passes<br />
and recorded 6 tackles. Defensive back Brandon<br />
Jackson chipped in with 5 tackles, a sack, a forced<br />
fumble and a fumble recovery. Lamar Ross also<br />
had an interception and a 5 tackles, and defensive<br />
lineman Perry Jenkins had 3 tackles, a sack and 2<br />
fumble recoveries.<br />
<strong>THE</strong> LAST TIME <strong>THE</strong>Y MET<br />
Tusculum 45, Urbana 35<br />
September 19, 2009<br />
<strong>URBANA</strong>, Ohio --- Tusculum College freshman<br />
quarterback Bo Cordell accounted for four<br />
touchdowns and passed for a school record 478<br />
yards to lead the Pioneers to a 45-35 road win at<br />
Urbana University at Ellis Field. Tusculum (1-2)<br />
records its first victory of the season, while the<br />
Blue Knights even their record at 2-2.<br />
Tusculum rallied from an early 7-0 deficit<br />
with 28 straight points, including a 21-point<br />
second quarter.<br />
Both teams combined for over 1,000 yards<br />
offensively (TC 525, UU 507) with a majority of the<br />
yardage coming via the air. Tusculum out-gained<br />
Urbana by a 499-403 margin in passing yards.<br />
Cordell, a native of nearby Cincinnati, had a<br />
fine outing in his return to his home state as he<br />
went 27-for-38, including three touchdowns. The<br />
Indian Hill High School graduate also rushed for a<br />
six-yard TD for Tusculum’s opening score.<br />
Urbana’s Evan Gehlert went 23-for-53 for 371<br />
yards and four touchdowns to four different<br />
receivers.<br />
Cordell completed passes to eight different<br />
receivers, led by senior All-American Ryan Tallent<br />
who hauled in eight receptions for 110 yards. All-<br />
American tight end Jarrell NeSmith added four<br />
catches for 99 yards, while Calvin Britt tallied four<br />
grabs for 66 yards.<br />
The Blue Knights struck first on the game’s<br />
opening possession as Gehlert connected with<br />
Jerrell Leak on an 18-yard touchdown strike,<br />
capping a seven-play, 72-yard drive that took 3:07<br />
off the clock. Amazingly, that would be the longest<br />
scoring drive of the game as both teams combined<br />
for 90 points.<br />
Tusculum answered later in the quarter as<br />
the Pioneers capitalized on the first of three<br />
turnovers by Urbana as TC’s Javon Forsett<br />
recovered a fumble at the TC 43. The Pioneers<br />
marched into Urbana territory as Cordell scored<br />
on a six-yard TD plunge in a seven-play, 62-yard<br />
drive that took 2:53 off the scoreboard. Gareth<br />
Rowlands’ kick tied the game at 7-7 at the 3:01<br />
mark of the quarter.<br />
The Pioneers struck quickly on its next<br />
possession, only taking three plays and covering<br />
88 yards. Cordell connected with Marcus Foster<br />
on a swing pass, sprinting 77 yards up the near<br />
sideline and a 14-7 lead that the Pioneers would<br />
not surrender.<br />

Urbana moved into TC territory again on its<br />
ensuing drive, but senior Brandon Kelley blocked<br />
a 32-yard field goal attempt by Urbana’s Matt<br />
Hausheer.<br />
After the Tusculum defense forced Urbana to<br />
turn the ball over on downs at the TC 25, the<br />
Pioneers responded with a its second touchdown<br />
of the quarter as junior quarterback Collin Wigely<br />
plunged in from two yards out with 4:10 remaining<br />
before halftime. During Tusculum’s five-play, 75yard<br />
drive, Cordell completed passes of 36, 34 and<br />
18 yards in the possession that took only 1:19 off<br />
the clock.<br />
Urbana went three-and-out on its next<br />
possession with Tusculum taking over at the TC<br />
46. This time, the Pioneers only took two plays to<br />
find the end zone as Cordell connected with<br />
Deonte’ Gist on a 49-yard strike to give Tusculum<br />
a 28-7 advantage with 2:52 remaining before the<br />
intermission. TC’s fourth drive took only 30<br />
seconds off the scoreboard.<br />
But the Blue Knights answered with two<br />
quick scores before halftime. The first coming at<br />
the 1:36 mark of the quarter as Gehlert connected<br />
with Boise Moon on a 55-yard scoring pass that<br />
was initially deflected by TC’s Allen Thomas. TC<br />
went three-and-out on its next possession and<br />
John Gregory’s punt was blocked by Traylin Taylor<br />
and recovered at the TC 17 with 51 seconds left in<br />
the half. Eleven seconds later, Gehlert used the<br />
short field and completed a three-yard pass to<br />
Tariq Kalimullah to make the score 28-21.<br />
Tusculum came close to putting more points<br />
on the board just before heading into the locker<br />
room as Cordell’s last-second heave was hauled<br />
in by a leaping Calvin Britt, but came five yards<br />
short of the end zone as TC lead by seven at the<br />
break.<br />
The Pioneers put points on the board in its<br />
first possession of the third quarter, capped off<br />
by a Rowlands’ 41-yard field goal and 10-point<br />
lead (31-21). But Urbana scored on its first<br />
offensive drive as Matt Allen ran in from four yards<br />
out. Hausheer’s extra-point cut the TC lead to 31-<br />
28 at the 9:53 mark of the period as it looked as<br />
the Blue Knights captured the momentum.<br />
The Pioneers snatched the momentum back<br />
with consecutive touchdowns. Cordell added<br />
another record to his already impressive resume’<br />
with an 88-yard TD completion NeSmith for the<br />
longest scoring pass in school history. TC<br />
recovered a fumble on Urbana’s ensuing drive by<br />
senior Zachary Norman at the Blue Knights’ 16.<br />
Two plays later, Jamar Ferguson rumbled into the<br />
end zone for a 10-yard score at the 7:26 mark and<br />
a 45-28 Tusculum advantage.<br />
The score would remain that way until<br />
midway through the fourth quarter as Urbana’s<br />
Gehlert completed passes of 27 and 24 yards to<br />
Ian Iler with the last being in the end zone to trim<br />
the deficit to 45-35 with 7:04 left in the contest.<br />
But that’s as close as the Blue Knights would get<br />
TALE OF <strong>THE</strong> TAPE<br />
Size comparison between this week’s starting line-ups<br />
as TC rookie Nick Yazzie recovered a fumble and<br />
David Little and Sam Broadwater sacked Gehlert<br />
on fourth down to preserve the win.<br />
Iler led all players with his 10 receptions for<br />
154 yards and a touchdown. Leak added seven<br />
catches for 108 yards and a score. Of the 403<br />
passing yards accumulated by the Blue Knights,<br />
only four Urbana players tallied a reception.<br />
Miles Washington led the Tusculum defense<br />
with a career-high nine tackles, two sacks and<br />
forced a fumble, while Marcus Jackson finished<br />
with eight stops. Terrence Smith and Norman<br />
accounted for seven tackles each as Tusculum<br />
sacked Urbana signal-callers seven times on the<br />
afternoon.<br />
Urbana’s Travis Brisco led all players with 13<br />
tackles, including five sacks and forced a pair of<br />
fumbles.<br />
Of the 12 scoring drives on the day, nine were<br />
under 1:19 including six less than 50 seconds.<br />
LONG ROAD TRIPS<br />
The longest road trip of the season was earlier<br />
this year as the Pioneers traveled to the University<br />
of Findlay.<br />
Tusculum’s 449-mile trip to Findlay, Ohio was<br />
the sixth longest in school history.<br />
Tusculum’s trip to Delta State University for<br />
the second round of the 2008 NCAA Playoffs was<br />
the second longest road swing in school history for<br />
the Pioneers. The trip from Greeneville, Tenn. to<br />
Cleveland, Miss. covered 574 miles.<br />
The 2003 season-opening road trip to Fargo,<br />
N.D. was the longest ever for the Pioneers. TC’s<br />
1,217-mile trek to North Dakota State University<br />
more than doubled the trip to Cleveland by 643<br />
miles.<br />
When Tusculum travels 300 or more miles, TC<br />
is 9-12 in those outings. Below is a list of the longest<br />
road trips in TC Football history:<br />

BIG PLAY BRITT<br />
In his 33 career games, senior receiver Calvin<br />
Britt has logged some impressive numbers in the<br />
Tusculum aerial assault.<br />
With just 78 career receptions, Britt has surpassed<br />
the 1,000 receiving yards plateau for his<br />
career, achieving that mark against Newberry<br />
(Oct. 25, 2008) two seasons ago. He enters this<br />
week’s game with 1,671 receiving yards, which are<br />
sixth in school history.<br />
Britt’s career 21.42 yards per reception average<br />
is the best ever by a Pioneer.<br />
He is now tied for the all-time lead in career<br />
touchdown receptions (19) with Jamichael<br />
Caldwell (19 - 2004-07).<br />

MULTIPLE 100-YARD PERFORMANCES<br />
(Receiving Yards)<br />
Only on seven occasions since the reinstatement<br />
of football at Tusculum College that two Pioneers<br />
have combined to catch for more than 100<br />
yards each in a single game.<br />
Senior Calvin Britt has been involved in three<br />
of those seven outings, including twice in 2008.<br />
The first occurred on Nov. 9, 2002 when All-<br />
American Kevin Wolcott and All-Conference<br />
standout Matt Riggs recorded 103 and 116 yards<br />
respectively vs. Lenoir-Rhyne.<br />
The second time was in 2004 in TC’s 28-24<br />
road win at Newberry College. Yoshah McDaniel<br />
posted 115 yards on six receptions, while<br />
Jamichael Caldwell added 113 yards on six<br />
catches.<br />
The third multi-100-yard outing came Sep.<br />
29, 2007 in Tusculum’s 31-28 home win over No.<br />
18 Wingate. Calvin Britt tallied six catches for 196<br />
yards, while Ryan Tallent added eight grabs for 118<br />
yards (314 combined receiving yards between the<br />
duo).<br />
Britt was involved in the second double 100receiving<br />
outing two years ago when he and<br />
Rashaad Carter achieved the feat against Lenoir-<br />
Rhyne (Oct. 4, 2008).<br />
The sixth double-double was in last year’s encounter<br />
with Catawba as Jarrell NeSmith (12-112)<br />
and Deonte’ Gist (6-110) recorded the feat. A few<br />
week’s later at No. 14 Carson-Newman (Nov. 7,<br />
2009), Tallent (10-141) and Nate Binder (3-107)<br />
made it No. 7, accounting for 248 yards of TC’s<br />
school record 524 passing yards against the<br />
Eagles.<br />
The Pioneers have a 4-3 record during this<br />
rare occurrence.<br />

<strong>THE</strong> CINCINNATI KID<br />
Sophomore quarterback Bo Cordell made<br />
quite an impression in his first Tusculum campaign.<br />
The Cincinnati, Ohio product established<br />
a pair of Tusculum single-game records in his collegiate<br />
debut against Charleston (Aug. 29), while<br />
becoming the first rookie signal caller to start in<br />
a season-opener since 1991.<br />
Cordell passed for a then-school record 442<br />
yards on 37-of-66 passing, including two touchdown<br />
tosses. The 442 yards surpassed the previous<br />
mark set by former TC great Corey Russell, who<br />
passed for 438 yards against Wingate on Sept. 29,<br />
2007.<br />
Cordell’s 66 pass attempts against Charleston<br />
are a new record, breaking the mark set by<br />
former All-SAC signal caller and current assistant<br />
coach Caleb Slover (61 att. vs. Presbyterian, Nov.<br />
3, 2001). Cordell’s 37 completions against<br />
Charleston are tied for the third most in school<br />
history.<br />
Cordell’s passing yards record against UC<br />
didn’t last long... three weeks to be exact. In his<br />
return to his native Ohio, Cordell passed for 478<br />
yards in Tusculum’s 45-35 road win at Urbana<br />
(Sept. 19). In that game, he accounted for four<br />
touchdowns (3 pass, 1 rush), including an 88-yard<br />
TD pass to Jarrell NeSmith for the longest completion<br />
in school history. Earlier in the game, he also<br />
completed a 77-yard TD pass to Marcus Foster (8th<br />
longest pass in TC history). For his efforts, he was<br />
named the South Atlantic Conference Offensive<br />
Player of the Week.<br />
In the 2009 season-finale at No. 14 Carson-<br />
Newman, Cordell mustered the best passing performance<br />
in school history and one of the best in<br />
conference history. Cordell passed for a school<br />
record 524 yards, as he went 37-for-57 with two<br />
touchdowns.<br />
Cordell led the league with 3,458 passing<br />
yards in his rookie campaign to earn him SAC Offensive<br />
Player of the Year honors. His passing<br />
yardage tally was second in TC history and fourth<br />
most ever by a SAC signal caller. It also established<br />
a new NCAA II Freshman Passing Record.<br />
Cordell’s 345.8 passing yards per game and his<br />
335.5 total offensive yards per game were also<br />
new NCAA II Freshman records.<br />

WONDER FROM WALES<br />
All-Region kicker Gareth Rowlands returns for<br />
his senior campaign in 2010. The Benllech, Wales<br />
product garnered All-South Atlantic Conference<br />
First Team honors in 2009 and is already one of the<br />
all-time top kickers in Tusculum history.<br />
Rowlands currently holds eight school singlegame,<br />
season and career kicking records, including<br />
career points (187), career PATs made (97), PAT<br />
attempts (112), career field goals made (30) and<br />
career field goal attempts (49).<br />
In his 13 games in 2008, Rowlands connected<br />
on eight field goals, including a school-record tying<br />
four at NCAA Division I FCS Gardner-Webb University<br />
(Sept. 6, 2008).<br />
Against Elizabeth City State (Sept. 12) last<br />
season, Rowlands had a night of perfection as he<br />
booted two extra points and three field goals, including<br />
a school record 52-yarder. His 11 points<br />
were the fifth most in school history.<br />

30-SOMETHING<br />
The Pioneers have found 30 to be one of their<br />
favorite numbers, especially in offensive production.<br />
When Tusculum scores 30 or more points,<br />
the Pioneers are 71-9.<br />
Tusculum dropped its first game in seven<br />
years in a 37-33 road loss at No. 22 Wingate. Prior<br />
to that setback, the last time TC lost when it<br />
scored 30 or more was in 2001 when the Pioneers<br />
dropped a 48-41 decision at Presbyterian College.<br />
Prior to the PC game, the last time came in the<br />
1996 campaign when TC stumbled at Cumberland<br />
University (Tenn.) 64-38. When TC scores 40 or<br />
more, the Pioneers are 41-2.<br />
MOST WINS IN A SEASON<br />
The 2003 Tusculum College football team<br />
posted the best gridiron campaign in school history<br />
with its 9-2 record and its .818 won-lost percentage.<br />
The 2008 squad tied the school mark<br />
with their 9-4 record for wins in a year.<br />
The Pioneers posted winning seasons in five<br />
straight years from 2000-04, a first in the<br />
program’s history.<br />
Tusculum has accounted for three straight<br />
winning seasons and eight in the last nine years.<br />

WHEN IT’S REALLY CLOSE (ONE-POINT <strong>GAME</strong>S)<br />
In the 61 seasons of football at Tusculum,<br />
only on 13 occasions has the game been decided<br />
by one point.<br />
The last one-point thriller came in the 2008<br />
regular season finale as the Pioneers edged 15thranked<br />
Carson-Newman, 45-44. Brandon Kelley<br />
blocked an extra point with under two minutes<br />
remaining to preserve the Tusculum win.<br />
Since 1901, TC is 9-4 in games decided by one<br />
point, including wins in their last five contests<br />
with a one-point differential.<br />

DeBUSK’S CARDIAC KIDS<br />
In the 74 victories posted by Tusculum College<br />
during the Frankie DeBusk coaching era, 32<br />
of them have been come-from-behind wins.<br />
One of the most recent rallies came on the<br />
road at Newberry last year as TC trailed 28-14 late<br />
in the second quarter, but the Pioneers outscored<br />
the Scarlet & Gray by a 20-3 margin in the final 31<br />
minutes to post a 34-31 win.<br />
Three of Tusculum’s four biggest rallies have<br />
come against Newberry and all at Setzler Field.<br />
The most recent rally at home came in the<br />
opening round of the 2008 NCAA Division II Playoffs.<br />
Tusculum trailed Albany State 10-0 early in<br />
the contest, only to rally with 20 points in the final<br />
quarter for a 34-22 win.<br />
The largest comeback came in TC’s 28-23 win<br />
at Lenoir-Rhyne in 2003. The Pioneers trailed 23-<br />
7, but scored 21 unanswered points to get the win<br />
and preserve Tusculum’s SAC Championship season<br />
and a 9-2 record. It was biggest comeback by<br />
a TC team during the DeBusk era (since 1998).<br />
Last year, Tusculum trailed 7-0 early but<br />
scored 32 straight points in eventually knocking<br />
off Elizabeth City State (32-30). TC fell behind 6-0<br />
early against Lenoir-Rhyne last year, before scoring<br />
34 straight points en route to a 48-19 win.<br />
