JSU defeated NDSU in the 1977 Semifinals and again in the 1989 Quarterfinals. JSU enters the game with a 12-game winning streak, the longest active streak in FCS, while NDSU s 8-game streak is FCS s second longest. A win would tie the school record of 13-straight wins. The only active Division I streak longer than JSU is Clemson s 17-game streak. A win by the Gamecocks would give them 14 wins for the first time in school history. They join the 1989 team (13-1) as the only two 13-win teams in school history. After polishing off its second-straight 8-0 OVC record, JSU is the only Division I team (FBS or FCS) to post unbeaten conference record in both the 2014 and 2015 seasons. JSU is in the FCS Championship Game for the first time and is the first OVC team in the game since Eastern Kentucky played for the 1982 Championship. The FCS Championship game pits the nation s No. 2 offense in JSU (529.2 ypg) against the nation s No. 3 total defense in NDSU (276.3 ypg). Two of the nation s best head coaches square off this week.

Klieman completed his first season as North Dakota State s head football coach in 2014 with a 15-1 record, a fourth straight Missouri Valley Football Conference championship and a fourth straight NCAA Division I FCS national championship. Klieman came to NDSU in 2011 as the defensive backs coach and was the defensive coordinator in 2012 and 2013. He signed a two-year contract extension in January 2015 that will keep him at North Dakota State through the 2020 football season. NDSU didn t skip a beat in Klieman s first year despite losing 23 seniors and welcoming seven new assistant coaches. The Bison scored 34 unanswered points to beat Big 12 member Iowa State in the season opener as part of an FCS-record 33-game winning streak that extended into November. Klieman was a finalist for the 2014 Eddie Robinson Award, which is given annually to the FCS National Coach of the Year. His 9-0 start was the best by any first-year head coach in NDSU and Missouri Valley Football Conference history.

That is the most by a Jacksonville State player in program history. He needs just 29 more yards to tie the OVC single-season record of 1,786 held by Akron s Mike Clark (1986). So far in the playoffs Pope has rushed for 234, 250 and 181 yards respectively (the first two being the two highest single-season totals in the league this season) and scored eight touchdowns. For the season Pope now has 19 rushing touchdowns which ranks him tied for fourth in league history. JSU vs NDSU Meet For 3rd Time: 1st since 1989 The Gamecocks and Bison have met twice before, both of which came in the NCAA Division II Playoffs. The Gamecocks defeated NDSU 31-7 in Anniston on Dec. 3, 1977, in the Division II semifinals and then won 21-7 in Jacksonville on Nov. 25, 1989 in the Division II quarterfinals. The two have never met in Division I. JSU Getting To Opposing QBs The Gamecocks have recorded 40 quarterback sacks this season, second in school history to the 51.5 recorded in 2013. The 206 yards from sacks is third in school history, behind the record of 316 in 2013 and 249 in 1998. Ringing in the New Year For First Time JSU s appearance in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game will be the Gamecocks first January game in school history. Jacksonville State Looking to Become Just Fourth Program With Both Division I and Division II National Championship With a win on Saturday Jacksonville State would become just the fourth program in NCAA history to claim both a Division II and Division I Football National Championship. The Gamecocks won the 1992 Division II National Championship. The other teams to accomplish the feat at North Dakota State (DII in 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1990 and DI in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014), Montana State (DII in 1976 and D1 in 1984) and Delaware (DII in 1979 and DI in 2003). JSU With 4th Best Record in FCS Over Past Five Years Saturday s National Championship game matches the No. 1 and No. 4 teams in terms of victories over the past five seasons in the FCS: North Dakota State: 70-5 Sam Houston State: 56-19 Coastal Carolina: 48-18 Jacksonville State: 47-16 CHAMPIONS 2003 2004 2011 2014 2015 JSU Rewriting the School Record Books The Gamecocks have broken or are set to break 50 school records this season.

In all, the 2015 Gamecocks have five of the top 20 on the single-season TFL list with Brandon Bender s 11.5 in 9th and Joel McCandless and Dawson Wells tied for 17th with 10.5. Gamecocks Running Wild In Playoffs Jacksonville State rolled up 432 rushing yards in its 41-35 win over Chattanooga in the second round of the FCS Playoffs, the Gamecocks first 400-yard rushing game since gaining 416 against Austin Peay on Nov. 1, 2014. The 432 yards against the Mocs were the sixth-most in a game in school history. One week later against Charleston Southern, the Gamecocks ran for 506 yards against a defense that hadn t allowed 200 yards on the ground in 2015, including 195 to Alabama. The 506 yards are the second -most in a game in school history and only the second 500-yard rushing game in school history. JSU ran for 360 yards in the semifinal against Sam Houston State, 174 more than their average heading into the game, and ran for six touchdowns for the third-straight game after not running for six in twostraight before this year s playoffs. Through three playoff games, JSU is averaging 625.3 total yards and 432.7 on the ground, while outscoring its foes, 53.7-27.7. Gamecocks Making 16th NCAA Playoff Appearance Jacksonville State is making its 16th NCAA playoff appearance and the sixth since 2003 after winning the Ohio Valley Conference s automatic bid with a perfect 8-0 conference record. The Gamecocks earned the No. 1 overall national seed to earn a first-round bye for the third time since 2010. JSU has an all-time record of 20-14 in 34 NCAA playoff games. JSU is 5-5 in 10 FCS playoff games, claiming two wins in 2013 when the team advanced to the FCS quarterfinals and is 3-0 this postseason. 2015 Jacksonville State FOOTBALL GAME NOTES Gamecock All-Americans Jacksonville State has five players that have earned All-America honors for their play in 2015. JSU placed five players on the STATS All-America Team, the most of any FCS program, and then had three selected by the Associated Press and one on the AFCA All-America Team. Eli Jenkins was named the ADA FCS Quarterback of the Year. STATS FCS All-America Team 1st Team QB Eli Jenkins 2nd Team OL Casey Dunn 3rd Team CB Jermaine Hough 3rd Team DE Chris Landrum 3rd Team RB Troymaine Pope AP All-America Team 1st Team CB Jermaine Hough 2nd Team QB Eli Jenkins 3rd Team RB Troymaine Pope ADA All-America Team 1st Team QB - Eli JEnkins AFCA All-America Team 1st Team OL - Casey Dunn Jenkins Named Top FCS QB Junior Eli Jenkins was honored by the FCS Athletic Directors Association by being named the FCS ADA Quarterback of the Year. In the third year of the award s existence, Jenkins is the second OVC signal caller to win, joining Jimmy Garropolo from Eastern Illinois in 2013. Jenkins, the 2015 Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-American by STATS last month, has had a record-breaking season leading a record-breaking offense. With 2,731 passing yards and 1,073 rushing, the Birmingham native is the only FCS quarterback with 2,500 passing and 1,000 rushing yards this season. He and Houston signal caller Greg Ward are the only two quarterbacks in all of Division I to reach those marks. Jenkins has run for 14 touchdowns and thrown for 21 and has climbed several career lists for JSU this season. Just a junior, his school-record 3,804 yards of total offense is 850 more than any other player in school history, while his 8,212 career yards of total offense also broke the school record. He ran for 195 yards in each of JSU s first two playoff wins over Chattanooga and Charleston Southern and is 26-0 in his career as a starter against FCS foes in the regular season. Pope and Jenkins Both Reach A Grand Senior Troymaine Pope (1,757) and junior Eli Jenkins (1,073) are the first teammates to run for 1,000 yards in the same season in school history. JSU had 14 1,000-yard seasons in school history prior to 2015, but has never had two Gamecocks hit the grand mark in the same year. 10 CHAMPIONS 2003 2004 2011 2014 2015 JSU IN THE OVC/NCAA TEAM STATS (Totals are as of 12/20/15) OVC NCAA 3rd Down Efficiency (.454)...2...18 3rd Down Eff.

It is the 15th time in school history a player has run for 1,000 yards, while Eli Jenkins became the 16th. in a season and he gives JSU a 1,000-yard rusher for the third-straight year after DaMarcus James had 1,477 in 2013 and 1,151 in 2014. With 1,576 yards, he breaks James school record of 1,477 rushing yards set in 2013. Below are all of JSU s 1,000-yard rushers: Player Year Yards 1. Troymaine Pope 2015 1,757 2. DaMarcus James 2013 1,477 3. Rondy Rogers 2001 1,417 4. Clay Green 2005 1,352 5. Boyce Callahan 1970 1,293 6. Kory Chapman 2003 1,285 7. Oscar Bonds 2004 1,263 8. DaMarcus James 2014 1,151 9.

Al Woodham 1954 1,024 Pope Leads the Nation in Yards Per Carry After backing up All-American DaMarcus James for three seasons, senior Troymaine Pope has stepped in and filled his shoes nicely in 2015. The Anniston, Ala., native is currently leading the nation in yards per carry with an average of 8.41. He has rushed for 1,757 yards through 14 games this season, tops in the OVC and the third-most in the country. His 125.5 yards per game rank sixth in the nation. Gamecocks Run Through Bucs The Gamecocks ran for 506 yards against Charleston Southern in their 58-38 Quarterfinal win on Dec. 11. The total was the second-most rushing yards in a single game in school history, behind 523 vs. Jacksonville University on Sept. 7, 2013. Prior to the game, CSU had not allowed 200 yards rushing in a game all season and were holding opponents to an average of 117 rushing yards. Half A Dozen Rushing TDs, Three Times The Gamecocks ran for six touchdowns in each of their first three FCS Playoff games this season. The six rushing scores in a game ties for the fourth-most in a game in school history, but it marks the first time in school history that JSU has run for six or more touchdowns in back-to-back games, let alone three-straight games. CHAMPIONS 2003 2004 2011 2014 2015 Pope Finding the End Zone Senior Troymaine Pope has had tremendous success finding the end zone when the ball is put in his hands. He has 19 rushing touchdowns this season, tied for the second-most in a season in school history, while his 34 career rushing scores are fourth on the school s career list. JSU Career Rushing TDs 1.

Eli Jenkins (2013-15) 36 Huge Second Half Sinks Bucs In the FCS Quarterfinals, Jacksonville State and Charleston Southern went into the half with the Gamecocks clinging to a 13-10 lead and just a 172-171 advantage in total offense. The tides turned in the second half, when JSU erupted for 425 yards on just 30 second-half plays to run away from the Buccaneers. JSU scored 21 points and racked up 234 yards in the third quarter to take control of the game. 11
JSU Becomes First OVC Team in Finals Since 1982 Two years ago OVC teams broke a 19-game playoff losing streak (that stretched back to 2000) and advanced two teams (Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville State) to the Quarterfinals marking just the second time in league history two teams had advanced that far in the same year. This year Jacksonville State helped the OVC snap a six-game losing streak in FCS Quarterfinal contests with a 58-38 victory over Charleston Southern. The Gamecocks were the first OVC team to reach the semifinals since Eastern Kentucky did in 1991 and the first OVC team to make it this far in a field bigger than 12 teams (the field expanded to 16 teams in 1997). They then snapped the OVC s four-game losing streak in the FCS Semifinals with a 62-10 win over Sam Houston State to become the first OVC team to advance to the National Championship game since 1982 (when EKU won it all). JSU One of Four Teams in OVC History With 12 Wins With its win over Sam Houston State, Jacksonville State reached 13 victories in a season for the first time at the Division I level and first time overall in program history since its 1989 Division II National Runer-Up team finished the year 13-1. The 13 victories are tied for the most in OVC history with the 1982 National Championship Eastern Kentucky team. Jacksonville State Scores OVC Playoff Record 62 Points With its 58 points in a victory over Charleston Southern in the FCS Quarterfinals, Jacksonville State established a new OVC FCS Playoff scoring record. One week later, the Gamecocks passed that mark with 62 points against Sam Houston State. The previous record was 55 set by the Gamecocks in 2013 in a first round victory over rival Samford, meaning JSU has the three highest single-game point totals in OVC postseason history. 13-1 Start Best Since 1989 The Gamecocks 13-1 start to the season is the first time JSU has been 13-1 since 1989, the only other time a JSU team has won 13 games in a season. A win today would give the Gamecocks 14 wins for the first time in school history. Overtime in the FCS Playoffs Jacksonville State s overtime victory over Chattanooga on Dec. 5 marked the first OVC team to play an overtime contest in the FCS Playoffs since 1991 when Middle Tennessee beat Sam Houston State in overtime. OVC teams are 4-0 all-time when going to overtime in the Playoffs. 2015 Jacksonville State FOOTBALL GAME NOTES Pope Doubles the Century Mark. Again. Senior running back Troymaine Pope rumbled his way to 234 rushing yards in JSU s second-round win over Chattanooga, the third-highest single-game total in school history and JSU s first 200-yard rushing game since DaMarcus James had 206 vs. SE Missouri on Nov. 23, 2013. Pope had just 35 yards at the half before amassing 199 in the second half, thanks to touchdown runs of 49 and 75 yards. One week later against Charleston Southern, he did better by running for 250 yards on just 16 carries, 208 of which came in the second half. He ran for three scores for the second-straight week. He didn t get to 200 against Sam Houston State, but did amass 181 and two scores on 21 carries. Through three playoff games, Pope has 665 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. Eli JSU s Top Rushing Quarterback With his 195 yards in JSU s Quarterfinal win over Charleston Southern on Dec. 11, junior Eli Jenkins passed David Gulledge (2,389 from 1987-90) as the school s all-time rushing leader among quarterbacks. He now has 2,724 career rushing yards and sits in sixth among all players in school history. He trails Clay Green in fifth place by 190 yards. Jenkins Runs For Three Scores, Again Junior Eli Jenkins ran for three touchdowns in the regular season finale against Murray State and then for three more in the Gamecocks first playoff game against Chattanooga. Jenkins became the first Gamecock to run for three scores in back-to-back games since DaMarcus James in 2013 and the first quarterback with back-to-back three rushing touchdown games in school history. Troymaine Pope ran for three scores in each of JSU s first two playoff wins. Jenkins Piling Up The Yards vs. UTC Junior Eli Jenkins rolled up 403 yards of total offense (195 rushing, 208 passing) in JSU s second-round playoff win over Chattanooga. It was the first time a JSU player has recorded 400 yards of total offense in a game since Marques Ivory had 451 (444 passing, 7 rushing) at Eastern Kentucky on Nov. 6, 2010. Jenkins total was only the third 400-yard total offense game in school history. Gamecocks Break Total Yardage Record With 7,409 yards of total offense so far in 2015, the Gamecocks have demolished the school record of 6,637 set in 2013 John Grass first year as offensive coordinator. JSU had never had a 5,000- yard season until 2013 and have now reached the 6,000-yard mark in three-straight years. The Gamecocks 529.2 yards per game is currently 18.4 yards better than the school record of 510.8 set in 2014. 12 CHAMPIONS 2003 2004 2011 2014 2015 Current Gamecocks that have claimed OVC Player of the Week Honors: 2012 Sept. 2 Troymaine Pope...co-Newcomer Sept. 9 Troymaine Pope...Newcomer Oct. 21 Jermaine Hough....Defensive Jermaine Hough....Newcomer 2013 Sept. 8 Troymaine Pope, Miles Jones, Eli Jenkins...

Landrum s big game also gave him 33.5 career tackles for a loss, breaking Warren Blair s school-record 32.0 from 1995-97. He now has extended that record to 38.0.

CHAMPIONS 2003 2004 2011 2014 2015 8 AND 0. AGAIN! Jax State became just the third program in OVC history to complete back-to-back 8-0 seasons, joining Eastern Kentucky (1993 & 1994) and Murray State (1995 & 1996). John Grass, in his second year as a collegiate head coach, made NCAA history this season in becoming the first FCS coach to begin his career with a perfect 16-0 conference record in leading JSU to its second-straight OVC Championship. Gamecocks Place 17 on All-OVC Squads One year after the No. 1 Gamecocks received a conference-record 18 All-OVC nods, the back-to-back champions garnered 17 honors in 2015. John Grass nabbed his second-straight Roy Kidd Coach of the Year honor, while Eli Jenkins became the second Gamecock (Ryan Perrilloux in 2009) to be named the league s Offensive Player of the Year. Jenkins, senior running back Troymaine Pope and junior wide receiver Josh Barge earned First Team All-OVC honors at their skill positions, while the Gamecocks made up four of the five offensive linemen on the first team. Seniors Blake Burks and Adam Wright, junior Casey Dunn and sophomore Justin Lea all received first team honors. On defense, senior defensive end Chris Landrum, Sr., senior linebacker Dawson Wells and senior defensive backs Folo Johnson, Brandon Bender and Jermaine Hough also grabbed first team all-conference mentions. JSU had three second team all-conference players in senior defensive lineman Devaunte Sigler, sophomore defensive end Darius Jackson and junior return specialist Lawon DeBardelaben. Sophomore linebacker Joel McCandless and junior defensive lineman Desmond Owino were named to the OVC All-Newcomer Team. JSU Dominates All-OVC Offensive Line When the 2015 All-OVC Teams were announced, the five-person First Team Offensive Line featured four Gamecocks sophomore Justin Lea, junior Casey Dunn and seniors Blake Burks and Adam Wright. The Gamecocks became the third team in OVC history to have four of the five first team offensive linemen, joining the 2010 Southeast Missouri and 1956 Middle Tennessee squads. The foursome of Burks, Wright, Lea and Dunn helped pave the way for a JSU offense that entered the playoffs ranked fourth in FCS in total offense (503.0 ypg), seventh in rushing offense (278.7 ypg) and ninth in scoring offense (37.5 ppg). 13
2015 Jacksonville State FOOTBALL GAME NOTES Grass Named OVC and Region Coach of the Year, Again John Grass, in his second year as a collegiate head coach, made NCAA history this season in becoming the first FCS coach to begin his career with a perfect 16-0 conference record in leading Jacksonville State to its second-straight OVC Championship. Jax State became just the third program in OVC history to complete back-to-back 8-0 seasons, joining Eastern Kentucky (1993 & 1994) and Murray State (1995 & 1996). Those accomplishments resulted in Grass earning the league s Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year and the AFCA a Region Coach of the Year Awards for the second-straight season. Grass team started the season with a victory at No. 8 Chattanooga (the eventual Southern Conference champions) and followed that by becoming the first-ever FCS team to take a ranked FBS opponent to overtime in giving No. 6 ranked Auburn all it could handle before falling 27-20. Despite the loss the Gamecocks ascended to No. 1 in the STATS FCS Top 25 poll, the first-ever No. 1 ranking at any level of football in program history. JSU was the first OVC team to be atop the FCS rankings since the 1999 season and has held that No. 1 ranking for 11-straight weeks entering the postseason. This year s OVC Championship is the fifth in program history and JSU will be making its sixth FCS Playoff berth, this time as the No. 1 overall national seed. Grass, who was a finalist for the STATS FCS National Coach of the Year, is the eighth OVC coach to win the award in back-to-back seasons and first since EIU s Dino Babers in 2012 and 2013. The OVC Coach of the Year award is named after Eastern Kentucky legend Roy Kidd, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, who won the award a record 10 times during his career (1964-2002) and retired with 314 victories, the second-most in I-AA/FCS history. Jenkins Honored As OVC s Top Offensive Player Junior Eli Jenkins was named the 2015 Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year. He joins Ryan Perrilloux (2009) as JSU s only OVC Offensive Players of the Year since joining the league in 2003. Jenkins led Jacksonville State to its first-ever No. 1 ranking at any level of football and its second-straight OVC Championship in 2015. In the process Jenkins improved to 26-0 in his collegiate career as a starter against non-fbs opponents during the regular season. Jenkins was named OVC Offensive Player of the Week a league-high four times in 2015 including the last week of the regular season when he accounted for five touchdowns (2 passing, 3 rushing) as he passed for 212 yards and rushed for a season-high 130 yards against Murray State; it marked the first time in his career he had passed for more than 200 and rushed for more than 100 yards in the same game. Barge Scoring In Bunches With his two touchdown catches against Murray State in the regular season finale, Josh Barge notched his fifth multi-touchdown reception game in a JSU uniform. That broke Ronald Bonner s school record for games with two or more touchdown receptions. Bonner had four from 1997-98. Grass Off To OVC s Best Start JSU head coach John Grass became just the second coach to win back-to-back OVC Championships in the first two years of their career, joining EIU s Dino Babers, who won titles in 2012 and 2013. Grass is off to a 16-0 start against OVC opponents, the best start by a coach in league history. He became the first coach in OVC and FCS history to post back-to-back unbeaten conference seasons to start his career. Gamecocks Run For More Than 4,000 The Gamecock offense has run for 4,364 yards so far this season, the most in a season in school history. Before John Grass took over the reigns as offensive coordinator in 2013, JSU had five 3,000-yard rushing seasons in school history, while his offense has passed that mark in each of his three seasons. Below are JSU s 3,000-yard rushing seasons: Team Rush Yds 1. 2015* 4,364 2. 1991 3,857 3. 1992 3,797 4. 2013* 3,604 5. 1988 3,496 6. 1989 3,477 7. 2014* 3,424 8. 1990 3,213 Gamecocks Get Off The Field on Third Down Jacksonville State finished the 2014 season ranked fourth in the nation in 3rd down conversion percentage defense, holding the opponents to just a.281 conversion percentage. The opponents were just 48-of-171 last season on third downs against the Gamecocks. This season, FCS foes are just 51-190 (27%) on third down conversions.

2015 Jacksonville State FOOTBALL GAME NOTES Record-Setting Day For Barge Wide receiver Josh Barge did some damage to the JSU record books in the Gamecocks 56-28 win over Southeast Missouri on Nov. 14. Barge caught eight passes for 108 yards and two scores, but those weren t the numbers that impressed the most. With the big day, the junior from Carrollton, Ga., set the Jax State single-season and career reception records during the game. He broke Ronald Bonner s single-season record of 62 and then Joey Hamilton s career record of 178. Barge now has 90 catches this season and 204 in his career. The two touchdowns gave Barge his fourth multi-touchdown game in his career, tying Bonner for that record, as well, while his 12 100-yard receiving games are just two behind Hamilton s school record of 14 games with 100-or-more receiving yards. Jenkins Hitting His Mark Junior Eli Jenkins has completed 62.1 percent of his pass attempts so far in 2015 (220-354-6) for 21 touchdowns and 2,731 yards. The.621 completion percentage is the best by a JSU player in school history with at least 100 attempts since Coty Blanchard was 135-211-5 for 64.0 percent in 2011. Jenkins is first in the OVC in 2015 and ranks 21st nationally in completion percentage. Wells Nabs Pick-6 in Back-To-Back Games Senior linebacker Dawson Wells intercepted a Bennie Coney pass and returned it 48 yards for a touchdown against Eastern Kentucky on Oct. 31 and then returned a Jalen Whitlow pass 35 yards for a score the next week at Eastern Illinois. It was the first time since 2007 JSU has returned an interception for a score in back-to-back games and Wells became the first player in school history to return an interception for a touchdown in consecutive games. Also, Wells is the first player in FCS to return a INT for a TD this season in back-to-back games and just one of four players with 2 INTs for TD this season. Shutout of EKU JSU s 1st vs. Ranked Foe The Gamecocks 34-0 shutout of No. 13 Eastern Kentucky on Oct. 31 was rare in a few senses. It was the Colonels first scoreless OVC game since JSU shut them out in 2006. It was also the first time JSU has shut out a nationally ranked Division I team. It was JSU s fourth shutout of an OVC foe (EKU in 2006, Tennessee State in 2011, Austin Peay in 2014). Gamecock Defense Being Extra Stingy The Gamecocks have limited their opponents to 294.7 yards per game in 2015, good enough to rank JSU 11th nationally in total defense. JSU is also ranked 12th in scoring defense (18.7 points per game), 16th in rushing defense (116.6 yards per game) and 17th in passing defense (178.1 yards per game). JSU Trio Named Academic All-District Senior cornerback Jermaine Hough, junior wide receiver Dalton Screws and sophomore offensive lineman Justin Lea were each named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District squads in early November. The teams honor players that excel on the field of play and in the classroom. All nominated student-athletes must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average at his current institution. They must also have completed one full calendar year at their current institution and reached at least sophomore athletic eligibility. Screws, a native of Anniston, carries a 3.99 GPA as a biology major at JSU. He was recently one of just 11 FCS players named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, which is considered the most-esteemed off-the-field honor in college football. He was also one of just three male recipients of the Ohio Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Award, the highest honor an OVC student-athlete can obtain. Hough, a native of Lovejoy, Ga., was selected to the Academic All-District squad for the second year. He holds a 3.73 GPA in exercise science and wellness at JSU, while excelling in the Gamecocks defensive backfield. An All-American and First Team All-OVC selection a year ago, Hough is currently on the STATS FCS Defensive Player of the Year Watch List. Lea earned his first Academic All-District honor in just his second season on the gridiron for the Gamecocks. The 2014 Freshman All-American from Henagar, Ala., has a 3.89 GPA in emergency management and has started every game at left tackle since the beginning of the 2014 season. Barge Breaks Single-Season Record Junior wide receiver Josh Barge currently has 90 catches this season, passing Ronald Bonner for the most catches in a season in JSU history. Barge s three seasons in a JSU uniform are each in the top six in JSU history. Below are JSU s single-season leaders in receptions: Player Catches Season 1. Josh Barge 90 2015 2.

In 2015, the Gamecocks are averaging 311.7 rushing yards per game, first in the OVC and third in the nation. The school record for rushing yards per game is 285.3, set in 2014. Grass Offense Like No Other in JSU History When John Grass took over as the Gamecocks offensive coordinator in 2013, no JSU team had ever gained 5,000 yards in a season. That year, his offense amassed a school-record 7,409 yards. In his first season as head coach in 2014, when he also called the offensive plays, JSU racked up 6,129 yards in just 12 games, a school-record 510.8 yards per game 68.2 yards per game more than the previous record held by the 2004 squad. In 2015, the Gamecocks are averaging 529.2 yards per game - second in FCS - and have racked up 7,409 yards, most in school history. Not So Long... The Gamecock defense only allowed nine rushes of longer than 20 yards last season in 446 rushing attempts by the opponents. JSU allowed just 127.2 yards rushing yards to rank 23rd nationally to lead the Ohio Valley Conference. In 2015, JSU has only allowed 16 rushes of 20 yards in 489 attempts by its opponents, who have combined for just 116.6 yards per game on the ground. That ranks JSU first in the OVC and 16th nationally in rushing defense. Offensive Line Experience The Gamecocks returned all but one starter from last year s offensive line, one that paved the way for a school-record 510.8 yards of total offense per game and another record in 285.3 rushing yards per game. All-American Max Holcombe vacated the starting center job, but junior Casey Dunn steps in and has already garnered Preseason All-OVC honors. In fact, four JSU offensive lineman have earned accolades from the OVC: Sophomore T Justin Lea (2014 All-OVC, 2014 Freshman All-American, 2014 OVC Freshman of the Year), senior G Adam Wright (2014 All-OVC), senior G Blake Burks (2014 Preseason All-OVC). Three Headed Running Back The Gamecocks may have lost the school s second all-time leading rusher DaMarcus James to graduation last year, but they returned a little experience in 2015. A pair of four-year seniors in Troymaine Pope (3,345) and Miles Jones (1,784) have combined for 5,129 yards over their three-plus seasons at JSU and both had over 600 yards last year. They ve also added senior Josh Clemons to the mix to keep Grass preferred three-man rotation in his backfield. Clemons graduated from Kentucky and transferred to JSU from the Wildcats to finish his career. He had 65 yards on eight carries in his JSU debut at Chattanooga on Sept. 5, including a 49-yard run on the first play of JSU s game-winning scoring drive late in the fourth quarter. In 2015, Pope (19), Clemons (4) and Jones (9) have combined for 32 rushing touchdowns, while quarterback Eli Jenkins has also added 14. Gamecocks Have Three 1,700-Yard Career Rushers Jacksonville State has three players with 1,700 career rushing yards, led by senior running back Troymaine Pope s 3,345. Junior quarterback Eli Jenkins is second on the team with 2,724 and Miles Jones has 1,784 career rushing yards for the Gamecocks. The trio has combined to run for 7,853 yards in their careers at JSU.

2015 Jacksonville State FOOTBALL GAME NOTES Stopping the Run is Job No. 1 for Gamecocks The Jacksonville State run defense has been exceptionally sturdy since the Gamecocks moved to Division I in 1995, but especially since joining the Ohio Valley Conference prior to the 2003 season. JSU has held the opponents to 100-yards or less 62 times since moving to Division I in 1995. As a matter of fact, Jax State has held at least one opponent to under 100 yards rushing every season as a Division I member except for 1997. The seven foes under 100 yards this season ties the 2003 team for the most in one year. The Gamecocks have held an OVC opponent to 100-yards or less 38 times. JSU held six Southland Football League opponents to 100-yards or less and 14 other times was against non-conference opponents.
