The defensive line will be the strength of the defense with three starters back and a plethora of experienced reserves. The Panthers are young but talented at linebacker and they’ll help carry the load as shoring up the secondary remains the biggest concern entering the season. Offensively, nearly everyone returns except two All-American offensive linemen but their backups appear ready to step in. Returning experience at quarterback, running back and wide receiver will be a plus as the Panthers didn’t have anyone with significant experience at those positions this time last year.

EARLY QUESTION: Will the secondary rebound after a subpar 2011 campaign? Will defensive end Jarvis Wilson step in and pick up where Adrian Hamil- ton left off? How will the youth on offense respond after gaining on-the-job experience in 2011? How will the Panthers fare with a schedule that only features two home games?

TOP AWARDS CANDIDATES: Jarvis Wilson could emerge as a Buck Buchannan candidate while Spencer Nelson has a chance to become a dual threat at wideout and returner.

One game, several plays, the little things. The phrase above can best describe the 2011 Prairie View A&M Panther football team as they finished just one game short of earning the program’s second trip to the SWAC Championship Game. Under the guidance of the head coach Heishma Northern, the Panthers saw their entire season flash before their eyes as two costly losses at Blackshear Stadium proved to be the differ- ence between playing football in December and watch- ing it on TV. “I think in a way you got to remind the players and coaches about it as it goes to show you that attention to detail can make a difference in the outcome of a ball- game and your season,” said Northern. “You don’t want to harp on it but you want them to learn and develop a sense of urgency that’s needed to become a champion. “I was still disappointed at not going to the SWAC Championship and some people still congratulated me on a good season but I was not satisfied as I want to change the culture here to the point where if we don’t NORTHERN win the championship, then it’s not a good season.

In the spring, Northern went coach.

By the time the season concluded in November, the Panthers had an entirely different look as Northern and staff knew what needed to be worked on entering the upcoming year. “Improving our rush defense is the top priority fol- lowed by improving the kicking game from the kicks to kickoff return units,” stated Northern. “The kicking unit had some ups and downs as they looked brilliant at times but then they would miss a kick of give up a long kickoff. Those are the things we definitely have to im- prove on if we want to have a successful year.”

OFFENSE LOVELOCKE On offense, nine starters return to a unit which fin- ished third in total offense amongst SWAC teams in the the table as Smiley has shown the ability to run the ball first season under offensive coordinator Mark Orlando. while Lovelocke led the Panthers with 1,020 passing With the exception of losing two redshirt senior offensive yards and 10 touchdowns.

PANTHER FOOTBALL // 9 2012 PRAIRIE VIEW A&M PANTHER FOOTBALL 2012 SEASON PREVIEW RUNNING BACK Similar to the quarterbacks, the Panthers opened the previous season with two newcomers to the collegiate game in true freshman Fred Anderson and junior Le’Darryae Groover. The duo complemented each other well as they helped the Panthers lead the SWAC in rushing after combining for 1,059 yards and eight touch- downs. Sophomore Courtney Brown will also have an expanded role this season as he came on late in the season after rushing for 96 yards and two touchdowns. “We need to work on pass protection and taking care of the ball at running back,” said Northern. “If they can do a better job of making people miss in space instead of trying to run them over, we’ll be fine.” Like quarterback, the Panthers don’t plan on using any other runners at the position if they don’t have to but Northern said Darius Edwards, who redshirted as a true freshman and has a lot of natural ability, may work his way into the rotation pending his performance in summer NELSON school. by fellow outside receiver and senior Deandre Cooper’s 244 receiving yards on 23 receptions and three touch- FULLBACK downs.

Heishma Northern was named the 31st head coach in university history on Dec. 13, 2010. No stranger to the Southwestern Athletic Conference, Northern begins his 16th season on the collegiate level and eighth season at Prairie View A&M. In his first season as head coach for the Panthers, Northern led one of the youngest teams in the Southwestern Athletic Conference to within one game of earning a SWAC Championship berth as Prairie View A&M finished tied for second in the SWAC’s Western Division. As a team, the Pan- thers placed five players on the 2011 All-SWAC Team, led the league in rush offense with 174.8 yards per game and finished with the third-best offensive unit in the SWAC. Defensively, Northern’s defensive background had a huge impact on the field as the Panthers led the SWAC with 45 sacks. Prairie View A&M also displayed sound discipline on the gridiron as they committed the fewest amount of penalties in the SWAC. As a result of the team’s defensive prowess, defen- sive end Adrian Hamilton emerged as one of the top defend- ers in the nation as he set the SWAC and Prairie View A&M all -time sack record with 20.5 sacks en route to earning 2011 co- SWAC Defensive Player of the Year honors and a third-place finish in the 2011 Buck Buchanan Award voting, which is awarded to the top defender on the Football Championship Subdivision level.
