The Panthers O’Brien Field (A: 6,774) saved anyone from that trouble. Redshirt freshman Chip Keys re-turned after missing five weeks with an injury to score a Bob Spoo Legacy Game 4-yard touchdown run and linebacker Clint Sellers solidified OVC Defensive Player of the Year honors with nine tackles and a fourth-quarter interception as the Panthers wrapped up an 8-0 conference championship.

FIRST QUARTER Put this on the list not because it was a monumental upset or championship win but because during a driv-ing rain quarterback EIU - Wright 13 pass from Garoppolo (Berra kick) (9:22) Tony Romo did not attempt one pass in the entire game. The Panthers rode J.R. Taylor’s 241-yard rushing game to the victory TSU - Team Safety (4:28) showing how they could adapt. You get the idea this was the kind of game Spoo as a Purdue quarterback would have enjoyed playing. SECOND QUARTER TSU - Godgrey 51 field goal (0:06) 8. - Eastern Illinois 33, Illinois State 26 (Sept. 1, 2011)

THIRD QUARTER This season started in classic fashion in the series newly named the Mid-American Classic. EIU rallied from a 19-12 third- EIU - Walker 4 run (Berra kick) (12:55) quarter deficit with Chris Wright making a spectacular catch in the end zone for a 10-yard pass from Jimmy Garoppolo with EIU - Berra 37 field goal (7:12) 2:38 remaining before Nick Martinez intercepted two passes.

FOURTH QUARTER 7. - Eastern Illinois 21, Northern Iowa 15 (Nov. 7, 1992) TSU - Ward 3 run (Godfrey kick) (14:28) TSU - Ward 1 run (pass failed) (1:49) Northern Iowa brought an 8-0 record and No. 1 NCAA Division I-AA ranking to Eastern, which had lost three straight falling to 3-6. But the Panthers limited UNI to 33 yards rushing and threw two touchdown passes to Mike Rummell in the remarkable upset at a snowy O’Brien Field. “All those heart-breaks from this year and last year, I’m not feeling any of that right now,” Thorne said after the game.

LEADERS If administrators even cared about keeping things a secret, word was out that Spoo needed a winning sea-son to save his job. After a 2-5 start he had no leeway left and still fell behind Indiana State early in the game. Then after trying true freshman RUSHING (No-Yds-TD) Mark Swinning as a starting quarterback the previous game, Spoo reinserted junior Pete Mauch who rallied the Panthers to this EIU - Walker (24-109-1), Lera (6-24-0) victory as well as wins of 16-13 at Illinois State, 28-20 over Western Kentucky and 24-3 over Southern Illinois giving Spoo a TSU - Ward (27-142-2), Thomas (11-61-0) 6-5 record and another year at Eastern. That turned into 17 more seasons and eight more playoff appearances.

PASSING (Att-Cmp-Int-Yds-TD) 4. - Eastern Illinois 10, Western Kentucky 7 (Nov. 18, 1989) EIU - Garoppolo (27-14-1-149-1) TSU - German (26-11-2-118-0) With a playoff berth on the line on a cold November night in Kentucky, defenses ruled and Eastern had numerous dropped passes before John Metzger in his first game since suffering a broken collarbone the season opener caught a 21-yard pass from RECEIVING (No -Yds -TD) Eric Arnold to the Western Kentucky 15-yard line. Freshman Broc Montgomery eventually cashed in a 1-yard touchdown with EIU - Drake (3-39-0), Wright (3-36-1), Rykard (3-33-0) 4:16 remaining putting the Panthers ahead. The John Jurkovic-led defense finished things giving the Panthers an 8-3 regular TSU - McNairl (7-55-0), Davis (1-29-0) season record that the following day worked for an at-large NCAA Division I-AA playoff berth.

DEFENSE (Tackles - Solo, Assist, TFL) 3. - Eastern Illinois 38, Idaho 21 (Nov. 25, 1989) EIU - Kickels (6-9-1.5), Leman (6-2-0), Beard (4-3-0.5) TSU - Fitzpatrick (7-2-0.5), Harper (6-2-1) On his way to NFL fame, the NCAA passing leader John Friesz padded his stats with 420 yards on 29-for-50 passing but the Panthers also intercepted three passes on the way to upsetting Idaho in a first-round game of the NCAA Division I-AA RECAP playoffs. Jamie Jones had a career-high 154 yards rushing and 64 receiv-ing. What really took away Idaho’s momentum from a game-opening touchdown drive was Eric Arnold’s 74-yard touchdown pass to Jason Cook on EIU’s first offensive play on Tennessee State stopped EIU on a fourth-and-one at the the “Z reverse” that included two fake handoffs. Tigers 23-yard line with 4:31 left in the game. TSU proceeded to take an 18-17 lead on the next drive as Trabis 2. - Eastern Illinois 26, Eastern Kentucky 25 (Oct. 12, 2002) Ward scored his second touchdown of the game spoiling Eastern Illinois head coach Bob Spoo’s final home game at This is the one Spoo after a few seconds of thought called his most memorable win. That is probably not because it allowed O’Brien Field. EIU had its last chance effort fall short as him to pass Charles Lantz’s 95 wins making Spoo the winningest coach in EIU football history but because it was a key Ohio a Jimmy Garoppolo pass under pressure was just over the Valley Conference showdown and ultimately decided an at-large playoff berth a month later. And the drama: Before becoming finger tips of a wide open Von Wise on fourth down. EIU the face of the Dallas Cowboys, senior quarterback Tony Romo earned his spot in EIU lore. He drove the Panthers 75 yards had taken a 17-5 lead into the fourth quarter as Garoppolo and ran the last 8 himself reaching the football over the goal line for a last-second game-winning touchdown helping his case hit Chris Wright for a 13-yard score and Jake Walker added to be the Walter Payton Trophy Award winner as the top player in NCAA I-AA. a 4-yard touchdown. Cameron Berra tacked on the Panthers other points with a 37-yard field goal. Walker finished with 1. - Eastern Illinois 28, Jacksonville State 20 (Oct. 24, 2009) 109 yards in the game while Gordy Kickels led the team with 15 tackles. EIU honored its senior class prior to the The Ryan Perrilloux-led Gamecocks seemed invincible in the Ohio Valley Conference. But in Spoo’s leave no stone unturned game with Lorence Ricks, Cory Leman, Kickels, Eric Zink, approach, a first-quarter onside kick, a Wildcat offense and a kickoff return for a touchdown helped lead to the upset. Not Nick Martinez, James Cooper, Keithan Hedrick and Mike hurting the cause either was Spoo’s battle cry through the week that Jacksonville State was the best in the OVC “until someone Garrity all being recognized. proves otherwise,” he shouted at practice in that deep piercing voice. Special teams coordinator Matthew Smiley discovered, “Coach actually thinks we can win.” The belief spread just as many of Spoo’s philosophies and principles have through a quarter of a century at EIU.
