2009 Missouri Valley Football Conference Weekly Release (Sept. 14)

Open Season Indiana State and South Dakota State open the league schedule this Saturday in Brookings, S.D. Southern Illinois has won seven-straight Missouri Valley Football openers. UNI (17) has won the most league-opening games, and the Panthers have won their last four.Team Record Home Away Streak

First Things First The Sept. 19 start date of the conference schedule is early for the league, but nowhere near the earliest in MVFC annals. The earli-est date for a conference game was Aug. 30 -- and that’s happened twice previously. Notably, the conference season has only started earlier than Sept. 16 three times since 1990 (Western Illinois hosted Western Kentucky in the Hilltoppers first league game in 2001.) Last year, two league games were played before Sept. 16.

Wrapping It Up, Almost After this weekend (Sept. 19), only three regular-season non-conference games remain. So far, the Missouri Valley Football Conference has combined for a 5-12 non-conference record, but that includes eight games at FBS sites. In 2008, the MVFC had an 11-8 record at home against non-confer-ence teams while posting just a 3-12 mark away from home.

Missouri Valley vs. Ohio Valley Two league games this week are against a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. Since 1985, the MVFC is 102-52-1 against the OVC, including a 2-2 record in 2009. Valley Football has a streak of seven-straight .500+ seasons against the OVC, going 38-15 in that span. Notably, Valley Football teams have won seven-straight playoff meetings against OVC members, dating back to 2001.

Tuning In One game this week will be on a regional cable system on Saturday, Sept. 19:

Happy Birthday To Us Founded in 1985 as the Gateway Football

Conference, the Missouri Valley Football Conference is celebrating its 25th season of FCS football in 2009. During the season, fan voting will be conducted to help select a “Silver An-

niversary Team,” recognizing the league’s all-time greats. Voting can be accessed at www.valley-football25.org. Fans can also vote to determine an Offensive and Defensive MVP of the league’s All-Select NFL Team.

Offense

QB Pat Grace, UNISr., 6-2, 240, Sioux City (Iowa) Heelan High Grace accounted for 7 TDs, passed for 455 yards and led UNI to a 66-7 victory over South Dakota, while only playing only three plays into the second half. Grace passed for four scores and ran for three others in guiding the Panthers to a 52-7 lead with 8:23 left in the third quarter before departing the game. In addition to his 4 TD passes, Grace also had scoring runs of 1, 11 and 3 yards in the triumph. Grace’s total offense figure of 477 yards is fifth-best all-time in league history, while his passing yardage figure of 455 yards ranks No. 7 all-time.

It marked the first-ever win against Georgia Southern for South Dakota State (in four tries).

Special TeamsPK Kyle Harris, South Dakota StateSo., 5-10, 185, Florissant (Mo.)Hazelwood Central High Filling in for all-conference kicker Peter Reifenrath, Harris connected on 3-of-4 field goal attempts and all five extra-point tries for 14 points in the Jackrabbits’ 44-6 victory over Georgia Southern.

New Name, Same Game In June 2008, presidents of the nine-member Gateway Football Conference and the 10-member Missouri Valley Confer-ence approved a rebranding initiative that changed the football conference name from the Gateway Football Conference to the Mis-souri Valley Football Conference.

Six Among Nation’s Top 50 Six Missouri Valley Football Conference players are among the Top 50 players in the FCS in rankings compiled by Josh Buchanan, who provides an NFL scouting service, work-ing in conjunction with coaches and scouts to compile the lists.

Southern Gentlemen? South Dakota State’s victory over Georgia Southern marked the first for the Jackrabbits in four tries against GSU. Notably, Missouri Valley Football Conference members have had small success against members of the Southern Conference, going 3-13 all-time against members of that league. Western Kentucky has the league’s only two other wins against the Southern Conference, beating Chattanooga (2006) and Georgia Southern (2002). Notably, 12 of the 13 MVFC losses have come in the playoffs and only one of those 12 was at home.

Five on FCS Lists Five Valley football players are among 32 nationwide players listed by The Sports Network as official “Payton Watch” and “Bu-chanan Battle” members. The honors will be presented at the 23rd annual FCS College Football Awards in Chattanooga.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Good Sports The NCAA and AFCA (American Football Coaches Association) decided to promote sportsmanship during the opening week of 2009, calling college football’s opening slate of games Respect Weekend. The NCAA encouraged teams to meet at midfield prior to the start of the game and have the teams participate in a pregame hand shake. Valley Football has taken a leadership role in the area of sportsmanship by becoming the first league in the NCAA to institute a full-team, pre-game handshake before all conference games. The handshake, done for one game in 2003 and as a conference-wide program in 2004, involves head coaches and all play-ers meeting at midfield.

This Week: Austin Peay

What a Debut! Despite being the first Redbird signal caller since 1999 to start as a fresh-man, Matt Brown completed 27-of-47 pass attempts and threw for 312 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Illinois State’s 45-17 loss to Illinois. It’s the first 300-yard passing game at ISU since Luke Drone threw for 305 yards against Missouri State, Nov. 4, 2006, and the most passing yards since Drone torched Indiana State for 440 yards Nov. 12, 2005.

Moving On Up With seven catches for 103 yards and two scores, Illinois State senior WR Eyad Salem did some climbing up the Redbird leader boards. Salem moved into eighth place all-time with 106 ca-reer receptions and the two touchdown grabs moved him into fifth all-time with 14 career touchdown catches. It was the sixth time that Salem has gone over 100 yards receiving in his career.

That’s More Like It Kelvyn Hemphill, a 2008 All-Missouri Valley Football Conference Honorable Mention selection, didn’t make a tackle in Illinois State’s season-opening loss to Eastern Illinois, but the junior safety re-corded a team-best 14 tackles against Illinois. Hemphill proved to be a pest to Illinois’ Eddie McGee, bringing down the quarterback twice in the backfield for both of his tackles-for-loss.

Senior Class Indiana State has just nine players on its roster who are seniors. Of those, Mike Woods and Elliott Thomas are fifth-year seniors, while Donye McCles-key, Jeramie Gray, Jerry Calvert, Dan Millington, Pat Burke, Bill McGrath and Nate Brown are in their fourth year. Indiana State is tied with South Carolina and Duke for the second fewest amount of seniors in the nation. Boise State has the fewest in Division I with four.

League Slate Begins Indiana State’s 24th season as a member of the Missouri Valley Football Conference begins on Saturday when the Sycamores travel to South Dakota State for a 7 pm kickoff on the road versus the Jackrabbits. ISU is 6-17 in league lid-lifting contests, including 1-10 all-time when opening league play on the road. The only time the Syca-mores earned a league opening victory on the road was a 10-7 victory at West-ern Illinois on October 5, 1996.

Panther Defense Shines The Sycamores mustered just 95 yards of total offense in a 31-0 defeat at the hands of Eastern Illinois in the third game of the 2009 campaign. It marked the first time since the 2003 season that Indiana State was not able to top the 100-yard mark in total of-fense. ISU last recorded less than 100 yards of total offense on Nov. 1, 2003 when they were only able to record 48 yards of total offense at Missouri State.

Against the Coy-otes, Eyman had a day to remember as he made nine receptions for 197 yards and added a 47-yard touchdown to help the Panthers to a 66-7 victory in the UNI-Dome.

YOUNGSTOWN STATE

Record: 1-1, 0-0Last Week: Austin Peay, 38-21

This Week: at Northeastern

Playing the CAA YSU’s last road game against a CAA team, which was formerly the Atlantic 10, was at Richmond in 2000 playoffs. Since that time, the Guins have played three CAA opponents at home - Northeastern in 2005, Maine in 2006 and James Madison in the 2006 playoffs. YSU won all three. The Guins’ last road win over a CAA squad was in 1999 - a 28-21 win at Villanova. In the playoffs last year, the MVFC was 2-2 vs. the CAA.

Bledsoe’s Big Game Safety Sir Demarco Bledsoe fin-ished with 15 tackles, including 10 solo stops in the Penguins’ win over Austin Peay. It was the most tackles by a Guin since Jeremiah Wright had 18 at Missouri State in 2004. It was the most solo stops in a contest since Marty Hutchinson was credited with 10 at McNeese State in 2004. Bled-soe’s 15 stops were the most by a member of the secondary since Mike Bracken’s 15 vs. UNI in 2002.

Defense Shows Improvement Through two games this year the YSU defense has allowed 612 total offensive yards. That’s a far cry from last year when the Guins had allowed 1,001 yards after two contests. In 2007, the Penguins surrendered 673 yards through two games. In 2006, YSU allowed just 520.
