EIU HEAD COACH KIM DAMERON Kim Dameron is in his fifth season as the Eastern Illinois head football coach. Dameron led the Panthers to the FCS playoffs in 2015 as EIU was ranked 23rd in the final FCS Coaches poll. Dameron was the defensive coordinator at Louisiana Tech prior to taking the EIU head job and has more than 15 years of experience as a defensive coordinator with more than 30 years of experience as a college coach. Dameron served as the EIU defensive coordinator in 2000 helping the program rebound from a 2-10 season in 1999 to an 8-4 record and FCS playoff appearance in 2000. Dameron played football at Arkansas appearing in four bowl games between 1979-82. He is a 1983 graduate of Arkansas. Complete Coach Kim Dameron bio available on page 6 of EIU game notes...

TENNESSEE STATE HEAD COACH ROD REED Rod Reed took over as head coach of his alma mater in 2010 and has had success with the Tigers program posting a 50-42 record. TSU advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs in 2013. A former defensive standout for TSU, Reed is again emphasizing a hard hitting defensive approach. Reed played at TSU in the 1980’s earning his degree in 1989. As a player he set the school record for tackles and was part of TSU’s 1986 NCAA I-AA playoff team. He was the defensive coordinator and associate head coach in 2009 for the program before taking over as head coach following that season.

SCOUTING TENNESSEE STATE Tennessee State will be anxious to play as they enter the OVC opener after losing their last two weekend dates to Mother Nature. After opening the year with a win over Bethune-Cookman, TSU has had its last two games against Jackson State (in Memphis) and at Hampton canceled due to weather related issues. In their win over Bethune-Cookman, TSU racked up 525 yards of total offense with Michael Hughes and Demry Croft both passing for over 150 yards. Chris Rowland caught seven passes for154 yards. The defense was led by Blair Edwards with seven tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss.

ON THIS DATE IN EIU HISTORY Sept. 22, 2012 - In a game that may have sparked the Panthers 2012 run to the Ohio Valley Conference championship and FCS playoff appearance, All-American wide receiver Erik Lora connected on a two-point conversion pass to Von Wise to help lift Eastern Illinois to a 50-49 overtime win against Murray State. In the game Lora caught an EIU and OVC record 21 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns.

HOLLINS JOINS SOME ELITE COMPANY Senior wide receiver Alexander Hollins joined some elite company on Saturday as he hauled in 10 passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns. It was the sixth time in Hollins two-year EIU career that he has had 100 or more yards receiving in a game. He moved into a tie for sixth on that career list.

KIM DAMERON(Arkansas, 1983) -- 5th Season (Career Record 24-23, 21-11 OVC)

Kim Dameron was hired as the 24th head coach in program history and the fifth in the NCAA Division I era in January of 2014.

The 2017 season may have been one of the most pulse stopping in recent years as the Panthers posted their third straight winning season under Dameron with all six victories coming by three points or less with a total margin of victory of 15 points for the year. Three of the wins were in overtime with two of them coming in double overtime. The wins on the season came in a variety of ways with two last play touchdown wins, two defensive stands, one game winning field goal and one game winning field goal block. EIU placed seven players on the All-OVC team and had defensive back Mark Williams earn Freshman All-American honors. In 2016 the Panthers quickly climbed into the FCS playoff picture as they knocked off FBS member Miami (Ohio) and beat No. 5 ranked Illinois State in the Mid-America Classic. Dameron would guide EIU to a No. 13 ranking in the polls at the midway portion of the season. The Panthers would face several key injuries late in the season and finished the year at 6-5 overall following a 24-0 win at Eastern Kentucky to end the season. EIU was 4-4 in the OVC. The Panthers had four players earn All-OVC honors with Devin Church and Seth McDonald both earning first team honors. Dameron returned the Panthers to the FCS playoffs in 2015 as EIU won seven of their last eight regular season games

to finish with a 7-4 regular season record. EIU lost in the opening round of the FCS playoffs at Northern Iowa. The Panthers were ranked No. 23 in the final FCS Coaches poll after making their 16th all-time FCS playoff appearance. During the season Dameron’s team produced six All-OVC players including co-Defensive Player of the Year Dino Fanti. Dameron would have his first player from Eastern Illinois drafted in May of 2016 when linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill became a sixth round selection of the New England Patriots.

In his first season Dameron coached the Panthers to a 5-7 record including 5-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference as the Panthers were in the championship race until the final weeks of the season. Dameron’s first career victory came on Sept. 20 against Austin Peay as the Panthers won 63-7. In the game EIU tied a school record for rushing yards with 413. The team featured three All-American selections including first team offensive lineman Collin Seibert and freshman All-American kicker Nick Bruno. Dameron’s squad had five first team All-OVC selections and five second team All-OVC honorees. The team was among the best on both sides of the ball in the OVC ranking second in total offense (11th nationally) and third in total defense.

Dameron spent the 2013 season as the defensive coordinator at Louisiana Tech where he directed a much improved defensive unit. The Bulldogs finished ranked 69th in the nation in total defense under Dameron’s direction after being ranked 120th the previous season. Dameron’s defense was the fourth most-improved squad in the FBS last season.

An experienced defensive coach with more than 15 years as a defensive coordinator Dameron took over an Eastern Illinois program that advanced to the FCS playoff quarterfinals last season. It is Dameron’s second stint in Charleston as he previously worked as the defensive coordinator at EIU in 2000 as a member of head coach Bob Spoo’s staff. During that 2000 season, Dameron helped transform the Panthers defense as they rebounded from a 2-10 season in 1999 to 8-4 and Ohio Valley Conference Champions in 2000.

Dameron spent three seasons as the safeties coach at Ole Miss as the team appeared in two Cotton Bowls. Two of his players were selected in the NFL draft as his pass defense unit ranked 11th in the NCAA in pass efficiency defense and 15th in pass defense. Prior to his stint at Ole Miss, Dameron was the defensive coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe as the program became bowl eligible at the FBS level for the first time in 2007 while also picking up a win over Alabama. The ULM defense led the Sun Belt Conference in fewest points allowed and ranking third nationally in turnovers gained. Dameron has previous stops as the defensive coordinator at Stephen F. Austin and as the secondary coach at Cincinnati and UNLV. He spent the 1999 season as the secondary coach in the Canadian Football League with the Toronto Argonauts. He has previous FCS coaching experience on the staffs of Murray State and Missouri State where he helped coach both teams to FCS playoff appearances. Dameron began his coaching career as a graduate assistant

under Lou Holtz at Arkansas, his alma mater, after earning his degree. He was a four-year player for the Razorbacks from 1979-82 at wide receiver and defensive back. As a Razorback he participated in four bowl games including the 1979 Sugar Bowl. Dameron and his wife Debbie, have one daughter Krystle. Krystle and her husband Mike, gave birth to daughter Emma the day prior to Dameron coaching his first collegiate game as a head coach on August 28, 2014 at Minnesota. Dameron has since added another granddaughter Ava.

Arkansas jumped out to a 24-0 lead scoring 17 points directly off of EIU turnovers including a fumble recovery in the end zone.

RECAP

In a shootout that generated scores on the first six offensive possessions of the game, Indiana State had just a little more in the tank than Eastern Illinois beating the Panthers 55-41. Quarterback Johnathan Brantley passed for 443 yards, the eighth best single game total in school history, connecting for four touchdown passes. Three of those TD’s landed in the hands of Alexander Hollins who finished with 10 catches for 167 yards and the three scores. EIU’s defense was not able to corral the Sycamores run game as Ja’Quan Keys rushed for 232 yards and four touchdowns. Christian Covington added 60 yards and two scores.
