SHORTER UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL 2016 GAME NOTES
Schedule/Results On Opening Day 5-6 overall
2-5 on the road @ University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Thursday, September 1 Against DI Opponents Thursday’s match-up marks the eighth time in program history that the Hawks will square off against an NCAA DI opponent; having @ Mars Hill University gone 2-5 overall. Shorter’s first win against a DI opponent came Saturday, September 10 at Campbell to begin the 2012 season, before topping SE Missouri State last year, on the road as well. vs. Florida Institute of Technology New Coach, New Look Saturday, September 17 The Hawks take to the field for Thursday’s game under the direc- tion of a different head coach for the first time in eleven seasons and with that comes a new look. The biggest change under Aaron @ Delta State University Kelton will be the shift in offensive schemes; moving away from the Saturday, September 24 triple option that the team has implemented since the beginning to the more traditional, pro-style offense. vs. University of West Alabama Shorter Debuts Thursday, September 29 Four Hawks will make their Shorter debut Thursday night as part of the probable starters. Included in the list is sophomore quar- vs. Clark Atlanta University terback, Matt Williams; who comes to Shorter from Pearl River Thursday, October 6 Community College. As a freshman at PRCC, Williams saw action in four games; completing 8 of 36 passes for 103 yards and adding 14 yards on 11 carries. @ University of North Alabama Saturday, October 15 Joseph Ross (WR), Kevin Rameriz (LT), and Corey Robinson (RT) are the additinal players who will each don the White & Blue for the first time Thursday. @ University of West Florida Saturday, October 22 The Real McCoy The mainstay in the Shorter offense will be senior, BJ McCoy, who led the Gulf South Conference in rushing in 2015, gaining 1489 @ University of West Georgia yards on 207 carries with 10 touchdowns. McCoy tallied 100+ yards Saturday, October 29 in nine of the Hawks’ ten games last season, including the final eight contests; while, also rushing for 200+ twice. vs. Mississippi College On the Defensive Saturday, November 5 The Shorter defense will feature mostly familiar faces, but will be noticably absent of three of its top tacklers from last year in Jordan Shaw, Santavious Bryant, and Dominique Henfield. Back, however, @ Valdosta State University Saturday, November 11 will be Zach Butts who was second on the team in tackles last year with 81 and Jevaris Jones who tallied the fourth most in 2015 with 56. 2016 GAME NOTES
