The speedy wide out, who also runs for Quarterbacks The biggest story line for Eastern heading into preseason camp is the batt le at the quarterback position. Several candidates, led by sophomore Trevor Hoskins and redshirt freshman T.J. Pryor, are responsible for fi lling the shoes left behind by 2007 OVC Off ensive Player of the Year Allan Holland. Hoskins has seen limited action behind center in his two years as a Colonel, while Pryor used his redshirt season in 2008. The two quarterbacks split time during the spring session with Pryor earning a slight edge heading into preseason camp due to his performance in the spring scrimmage. Pryor completed 13-of-20 passes for 202 yards and two scores while rushing for 48 more yards and another touchdown against the defense. Mean- while, Hoskins was held to a 50 percent completion rate with two interceptions. “Both players had up-and-down springs kind of like the stock market,” Hood said. “But overall their performances steadily improved throughout the spring.” Junior Cody Watt s, one of the most athletic players on the team, could be used under center although the coaching staff would Junior Cody Watt s (#5) and senior Derek Hardman would enjoy celebrating a few prefer to keep him outside as a wide receiver.

Two of the three starters from the 2008 team were seniors while another key reserve was also a senior. Junior Jordan Dalrymple is the lone constant in this unit. He started nine games at the weakside position last year, but is ex- pected to move into the middle in 2009. Dalrymple fi nished fourth on the team in tackles (68) as a sophomore and sealed the 38-35 win over Jacksonville State with his fi rst career interception with two minutes left in the game.

Williams spent a year playing at Air Force Academy Prep before transferring to Mississippi State.

Defensive Backs Unlike most teams, the EKU defense relies on the defensive backs to call the coverage and schemes for the entire unit. The Colonels have both starting corner backs from 2008 returning, but have to fi ll a gaping hole at safety due to the losses of all-confer- ence performers Brandon Gathof and Zach Denton. Sophomore Patrick McClellan, junior Marcus Williams and junior Robert Dees are the likely candidates to step into the start- ing rotation at safety. McClellan looked like he was going to have a productive season as a reserve defensive back and special team’s standout last year until he injured his knee in the season opener. He returned to action this spring and impressed the coaching staff with his instincts and work ethic. Williams is a transfer from Coach Hood’s previous team, Wake Senior Chris Hall and junior Andrew Soucy (#99) are two important pieces on the Forest.

Dean Hood Title: Head Coach Year at EKU: Second season (8-4) Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986

2008 OVC Coach of the Year 2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist

The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and in 2008, fi rst year head coach Dean Hood delivered as the Colonels claimed their 20th Ohio Valley Conference title. The challenge in 2009 will be for Eastern to replace 10 starters, including seven all-conference performers. “It doesn’t matt er if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU.

Roy Kidd Stadium, Hanger Field and the Robert B. Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics com- plexes in the nation. Average att endance at football games has been around 10,000 fans in the last fi ve seasons, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fi fth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was offi cially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The fi eld itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the fi eld. Hanger Field underwent a transfor- mation from natural grass to synthetic turf this past spring. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 40-year history. Entering the 2009 season, Eastern has won 188, lost 40, and tied 1 (.823 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1984. EKU also ran off 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the play- ing fi eld, has working space for 87 media representatives, includ- ing private coaching booths, radio booths and fi lm areas. A new full-color video scoreboard was unveiled for the stadium in 1999. Facilities inside the stadium include offi ces for the athletics staff , locker rooms, media interview room and a modern training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and class- room space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his fi rst championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremen- dous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said.

If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very fi rst game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, total- ing 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patt on and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground.
