The Indiana State Head CoachIndiana State is led by head coach Trent Miles, a 1987 ISU graduate and Terre Haute native. Miles made his head coaching debut last season against Eastern Michigan and carries a record of 0-18 into Saturday’s game. Miles previously spent three seasons (2005-07) as the running backs coach at Washington and three years at Notre Dame (2002-04) as the wide receivers coach. Miles is 0-1 against the Redbirds, and is 0-11 against members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

The Illinois State Head CoachIllinois State is led by head coach Brock Spack, who is in his first season at the helm of the Redbird program. Spack is 2-4 as a collegiate head coach, and this is his first meeting against Indiana State.

Scouting Illinois StateIllinois State is a member of the NCAA FCS Subdivision and competes in the MVFC. The Redbirds are 2-4 on the season, coming off 43-23 defeat at the hands of No. 6 Southern Illinois last week. Illinois State took a 27-24 victory on Oct. 3 at North Dakota State earlier in the month. The ‘Birds are led in rushing by Geno Blow who has 87 carries for 334 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Matt Brown is 131-of-204 passing for 1,368 yards and six interceptions with seven touchdowns.

A Little HistoryThis marks the 105th season of football at Indiana State, dating back to 1896. The University did not field teams from 1899 to 1900, 1908 or from 1910 to 1919. ISU owns an all-time record of 338-461-22 and is competing for the 24th consecutive season as a member of the MVFC.

What’s TranspiredIndiana State opened the season with a 26-20 overtime loss against Quincy at Memorial Stadium. The game drew regional attention, as 7,216 fans were in attendance. The Sycamores bounced out to a quick 17-0 lead in the first quarter against the Hawks – ISU’s largest lead over an opponent since 2004 -- but Quincy came back to knot the score at 20 with 43 seconds left in regulation. Darrius Gates paced the Sycamores with 102 yards on the ground and also threw a 75-yard touchdown pass as the offense showed spark early in the game.

ISU enjoyed its closest game against a member of the NCAA Division I FBS Subdivision since 2003 with a 30-10 loss at Louisville. Santino Davis recorded a pair of interceptions in falling to the BIG EAST opponent.

The Sycamores were shut out in their third contest of the season against Eastern Illinois by a 31-0 count. It marked the first time ISU was shut out by the Panthers since 1962 and their 95 yards of total offense was the Sycamores’ lowest total since the 2003 campaign.

Indiana State battled tough at No. 18 South Dakota State in the first half, but it wasn’t enough, as the Jackrabbits took it to the Sycamores late in the second quarter en route to a 41-0 win over ISU. ISU trailed just 3-0 in the waning moments of the first half, but a blocked punt and a touchdown with less than a minute remaining helped SDSU to the game’s momentum and the eventual victory. Senior Donye McCleskey recorded a season-best 15 tackles in defeat, plus his first interception of the season. ISU was shutout in back-to-back games for the first time since the 1999 season.

The Sycamores were shut out for the third consecutive game, falling 28-0 to Youngstown State. The Penguins owned just a 7-0 lead in the fourth quarter as the Sycamores held YSU without a score for nine consecutive possessions and did not allow a first down to Youngstown in third stanza. Indiana State went over the 100-yard mark in total offense, but were not able to reach pay dirt, falling to 0-2 in league play.

Indiana State defensive tackle turned fullback Rod Hardy got the Sycamores on the board in the third quarter of the Northern Iowa contest to break a 17-quarter streak without scoring a touchdown. The Sycamores fell to No. 3 nationally-ranked Panthers on Oct. 3 by the score of 62-7.

Barrelling InIndiana State debuted a new jumbo package against No. 3 Northern Iowa in the Sycamores’ last game before the open week and the benefactor was Rod Hardy, who has started all six games this season at defensive tackle. Hardy, who recovered a UNI fumble to give the Sycamores a short field offensively, plunged into the end zone to give ISU its first offensive points since the second game of the season at Louisville. Hardy was the first ISU player since 2005 to score an offensive touchdown despite starting the game on defense. Josh Jones scored on a pass reception that season against Western Kentucky in a game in which he also started at linebacker.

Top Two Tacklers In The MVFCIndiana State senior defensive back Donye McCleskey continues to have an extremely solid season for the Sycamores, leading the team with a 9.5 tackles for game average. That figure also ties McCleskey for top tackling honors in the league with fellow Sycamore and redshirt freshman Aaron Archie. McCleskey set a season-high with 15 total tackles at South Dakota State while Archie’s top total came with 12 stops against Youngstown State and UNI. Not to be left in the shuffle is sophomore Alex Sewall, who is averaging 8.8 tackles per game which ranks sixth-best in the league.

2009 Opponents in Bold Italics

Return To SenderIndiana State has been solid in special teams, as the punt return squad ranks 25th nationally with an 10.78 yards-per-return average. That mark is good enough for second in the MVFC. Individually, Darrius Gates is averaging 28.62 yards per kickoff return which is second in the league and eighth-best nationally. As a team, the Sycamores average 19.91 yards per kick return, which is 68th nationally and in a league which boasts some of the best special teams in all of the FCS Subdivision, is fifth in the MVFC.

Facing The BestThe Sycamores face have already faced a pair of nationally ranked foes this season, both on the road, at South Dakota State and Northern Iowa. ISU has not beaten an opponent in the Top 25 since downing No. 19 Western Illinois on Oct. 23, 1999. The Sycamores are 8-68 all-time against FCS nationally-ranked opponents, including a mark of 6-49 against league members that are nationally ranked. Indiana State’s next two opponents, Illinois State & Western Illinois, are not expected to be nationally ranked.

We Are Mostly...YoungOf the 84 players on the current Indiana State roster, a total of 65 student-athletes are underclassmen -- or just over 76 percent. There are 38 true or redshirt freshmen on the roster currently. A total of 19 student-athletes have seen their first collegiate action this season, including 18 true or redshirt freshmen.

Few SeniorsIndiana State has just 10 players on its roster who are seniors. Of those, Mike Woods and Elliott Thomas are fifth-year seniors, while Donye McCleskey, Jeramie Gray, Jerry Calvert, Dan Millington, Pat Burke, and Bill McGrath are in their fourth year. Antoine Brown and Gabe Mullane transferred into the Sycamore program and are in their final season as well. Indiana State has the fourth fewest seniors on a 2009 roster nationally.

Working OvertimeThe Sycamores have played in 11 overtime contests since the rule was established for regular season games in the NCAA FCS Subdivision in 1996. The Sycamores are 6-5 in games that have used an extra period, including a 33-30 overtime win over Eastern Illinois in 2004.

DEFENSE...DEFENSEThe Sycamore defense held Youngstown State to just seven points into the fourth quarter, continuing to improve as the season progresses. In fact, the defense did not surrender a first down in the entire third quarter against the Penguins. The Sycamores forced YSU into nine consecutive drives without surrendering a score, spanning from the 5:37 mark of the first quarter until the 10:03 mark of the fourth.

Sycamores vs. the Missouri Valley Football ConferenceIndiana State is in its 24th season as a member of the MVFC. ISU’s first season as a league member came in 1986 when it went 1-5 through a six-game league schedule. The Sycamores are 39-109 in MVFC contests and have lost each of their last 20 league matchups. ISU’s last victory over a member of the league came on Oct. 21, 2006 against Missouri State (28-22). The Sycamores’ last road victory over a MVFC opponent came on Nov. 9, 2002 at Southern Illinois, a 21-14 ISU victory.

Flood Gates OpenJunior tailback Darrius Gates opened the season against Quincy by rushing for a team-best 102 yards on 11 carries. He closed out the 2008 campaign against Missouri State by rushing for 237 yards on 29 attempts en route to being named the MVFC Offensive Player of the Week. His performance in the season finale of 2008 against the Bears coupled with the effort versus the Hawks, makes Gates the first Sycamore to record back-to-back 100-yard single-game rushing performances since Jake Shields accomplished the feat in the first two games of 2003 (127 at Ball State; 213 vs. Florida International). To add to his success on the ground, Gates also completed a 75-yard TD pass to Bryant Kent in the first quarter against Quincy, which was the second pass completion of his career (both have gone for touchdowns).

Up Next ...Indiana State returns home to face off against Western Illinois on October 24. Kick-off for the annual Homecoming contest is set for 3:00 p.m. (ET).

An Indiana State Win Over Illinois State Would...• Snap the Sycamores’ 32-game losing streak, dating back to a 28-22 Homecoming victory over MVFC rival Missouri State in 2006.• Give Trent Miles his first collegiate head coaching victory.• Snap a four-game losing streak to the Redbirds and give the Sycamores its first victory in Normal since a 16-13 victory on October 25, 1997.• Snap Indiana State’s 20-game losing streak in Missouri Valley Football contests.


The Last Time They Met: Oct. 2, 2008Indiana State played its second-straight game at home on Saturday, this time against Missouri Valley Football Conference foe Illinois State in both team’s conference opener. IndianaState (0-5, 0-1 MVFC) scored on its first drive of the game, but the Redbirds (2-2, 1-0 MVFC) controlled the rest of the game and cruised to a 57-6 victory in front of 3,971 fans at Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores went to the groung on their first offensive possession of the game to move the ball 60 yards to the Illinois State six-yard line. Antoine Brown had 42 of the yards, 36 coming on one play as he rushed to the Illinois State 12. The drive stalled at the Redbird six-yard line and Corey Varnadore booted a 35-yard field goal to give Indiana State an early 3-0 lead with 10:19 left in the first quarter. Illinois State came right back and scored on five of their first six possessions. The Redbirds scored on a one-yard run by Geno Blow with 5:51 left in the first quarter and then added 16-yard pass from Kevin Brockway to Garin Harcar with 51 seconds left in the first quarter to make the score 14-3. After a stalled Indiana State drive, the Redbirds tacked on back-to-back field goals by placekicker Steven Fetzer to take a 20-3 lead. The first was a 24-yard boot with 12:20 left in the half and the second was good from 40 yards with 8:46 left on the clock. Illinois State then tacked on a touchdown just before halftime to take a 27-3 with 1:28 left. The Redbirds capped off the a quick three-play, 53 yard on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Brockway to wide receiver Eyad Salem. The Sycamores showed some spark after a 34-yard kickoff return by Koby Kraemer. Indiana State moved the ball quickly into Illinois State territory with a methodical eight-play, 27 scoring drive capped off by a 44-yard yard field goal by placekicer Braulio Martinez with two seconds left to play. The Redbirds then downed the kickoff to take the 21-point lead into the locker room at halftime. The Redbirds tacked on two more scores in the third quarter to widen their lead over the Sycamores. Blow scored on a one-yard run with 10:41 left to make the score 34-6. Illinois State picked up two more points when Indiana State quarterback Calvin Schmidtke covered up a bad snap in the endzone at the 10:26 mark of the third quarter to make the score 36-6. The Redbirds then added a two-yard scoring run from Walter Mendenhall that capped off a six-play, 26 yard scoring drive to make the score 43-6 with 7:39 left in the third quarter. The score would stay that way until the 11:02 mark in the fourth quarter, when Mendenhall dashed 40 yards to paydirt to give the Redbirds a 50-6 lead. A 17-yard scoring strike from Drew Kiel to Kevett Mickle with 6:37 left made it a 57-6 contest and the score stayed that way as the Redbirds defeated the Sycamores and picked a win in both teams’ conference opener. Running back Antoine Brown led the way on the ground for the Sycamores with 68 yards on 11 carries while wide receiver Ryan Patrick added two catches for 13 yards. Blow paced the Redbirds on the ground with 119 yard on 23 carries to go along with two touchdowns. Mendenhall finished day with a solid game as well, with 103 yard on 10 carries with two scores. Brockway finished 6-for-13 for 108 yards passing and two scores.

Head coach Trent Miles enters his second year at the helm of the Indiana State football program in 2009. Miles was named the Sycamores’ 23rd head football coach on Dec. 4, 2007.

In his inaugural season on the job, Miles had three players earn All-Missouri Valley Conference honors as Jayden Everett,

Donye McCleskey and Alex Sewall all took Honorable Mention plaudits. Additionally, Sewall, Larry Carter and Ryan Roberts took MVFC All-Newcomer status.

Everett recorded 102 total tackles on the season, which ranked in the nation’s top 20 and was in the top five in the MVFC. He also had a key forced fumble and recovery in the season finale against Missouri State that allowed Indiana State to comeback from down 14-0 to force overtime. Everett posted six games in which he recorded double digit tackles, including a season-high 18 stops on Homecoming versus South Dakota State.

McCleskey posted 98 total tackles last season, including 53 total stops. In the conference opener against Illinois State, McCleskey was credited with a career-high 17 total tackles. Known as a big-play defensive threat, McCleskey recovered a fumble and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown at Youngstown State. He had four games in which he recorded at least 10 tackles, including 13 against South Dakota State, 11 in the season finale versus Missouri State, 10 at Western Illinois and the season-best 17 versus the Redbirds.

Sewall was Indiana State’s top newcomer on defense with 90 total tackles, including 52 solo stops as he played in all 12 of the Sycamores’ contests this season. He notched a season-best nine tackles in five different contests: at Eastern Illinois, at Northern Illinois, South Dakota State, at North Dakota State and in the season finale versus Missouri State.

Carter played in 10 games in 2009 and recorded 34 total tackles, including one for a loss and was credited with one half of a sack. He broke up four passes this season and recovered one fumble at Southern Illinois. In the conference opener against Illinois State, Carter posted a team-high eight tackles.

Roberts played in all 12 games this year, including the final six as the Sycamore quarterback after playing the first six games on the defensive side of the ball. He completed 39-of-84 passes for 294 yards, including a long of 20 yards. Roberts was strong on the ground with 107 rushes for 194 yards, plus three rushing touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, Roberts was credited with nine total tackles. He posted a season-high 59 rushing yards at Youngstown State and was 15-of-24 for 124 yards passing against South Dakota State.

Running a well-rounded program is an important concept for Miles, as evidenced by a trio of Sycamores being named to the MVFC All-Academic squad. Those Sycamores making the second team were tight end Josh Jones and punter Gabe Mullane, while offensive lineman Jack Byrne was an honorable mention selection.

Jones, who holds 3.92 GPA in Exercise Science, was the Sycamores’ top pass catching tight end as he hauled in 11 passes for 83 yards, an average of 7.5 yards per catch. Jones also was credited with one rush and a pair of kickoff returns during the season.

Mullane, who has earned a 3.93 GPA in Physical Education, punted 82 times on the year for a total of 2,948 yards. He averaged 36.0 yards per kick and recorded a long punt of 66 yards. Mullane only had two touchbacks in 82 punts and forced 10 fair catches. He was able to pin the opposition inside their own 20-yard line a total of 17 times and recorded six punts of 50 yards or more.

Byrne, who has a 3.15 GPA in Business, played and started in all 12 games for the Sycamores at the center position. The Sycamore offense gained 1,539 yards on the ground and reached the end zone eight times. Byrne was the leader of a team which also had 881 yards through the air and reached the end zone through the air three times.

The ISU Football team is also very involved in community service, including working tirelessly across the Wabash Valley in June of 2008 helping victims of the floods in the area. The football players at ISU also are committed to teaching young children how to read and visiting with local hospitals to help children that are ill.Miles is a native of Terre Haute, Ind., and a 1987 graduate of Indiana State. Miles was a wide receiver at Indiana State from 1982-86, where his 1983 and 1984 squads each won nine games and advanced to the NCAA FCS playoffs. The 1984 Sycamores were ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the season. That team was inducted into the Indiana State University Hall of Fame on Sept. 7, 2002.

Prior to coming to Indiana State, Miles completed his third season as the Washington running backs coach in 2007 after having spent the previous three years on Tyrone Willingham’s staff at Notre Dame as the wide receivers coach.

In 2007, Husky running back Louis Rankin rushed for 1,294 yards, be-coming the first Washington player to tally a 1,000-yard rushing season since 1997.While at Notre Dame, he mentored future NFL standouts Maurice Stovall, Rhema McKnight and Arnaz Battle, as well as Jeff Samardzija, who is now playing professional baseball in the Chicago Cubs organization.

Prior to coaching at Notre Dame, Miles worked under Willingham for one year at Stanford. That season Miles had the opportunity to coach some of the nation’s finest receivers including Luke Powell (whose 22.3-yard average per catch set a school record) and Teyo Johnson (the 2001 Pacific-10 Co-Freshman of the Year and a second-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders in 2003).

Miles spent the 2000 campaign with the Green Bay Packers as an offen-sive assistant, working with the wide receivers and as a quality control coach. During his tenure with the Packers, he coached NFL all-pro receiver Antonio Freeman.

Miles has 20 years of coaching experience on the collegiate level. He was the wide receivers coach at Fresno State for three years (1997-99), producing some of the greatest receivers in Bulldogs’ history. In 1999, two of his receivers, Rodney Wright and Charles Smith, combined to produce more than 1,600 yards and 14 touchdowns on 120 receptions. Their production helped the Bulldogs to a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship and a berth in the Las Vegas Bowl. He also recruited and coached Bernard Barien of the Minnesota Vikings.

Throughout his career, Miles has coached on both sides of the ball including wide receivers, defensive backs and linebackers. Miles began his coaching career at Indiana State in 1987, tutoring the wide receivers and defensive backs as a graduate assistant. Another graduate assistant position followed at New Mexico (1988-89), where he worked with the receivers and linebackers. Miles then moved on to Oklahoma in 1990, working with the wide receivers as a graduate assistant.

Following four seasons as an assistant at Northern Illinois (1991-93 as receivers coach, 1994 with defensive backs), Miles headed west to Hawaii for two seasons (1995-96), where he spent a season each with the wide receivers and defensive backs.

Miles earned a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Indiana State in 1987. He was born July 29, 1963, in Terre Haute, Ind. Miles married the former Bridget Hogan on July 10, 2004. They have three daughters, Kaylee, Anna, and Charlie Elizabeth.

Game 1: Quincy RecapTERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State fell to Quincy by the score of 26-20 in overtime on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams in front of 7,216 fans at Memorial Stadium.

The Sycamores opened the game with a barrage, taking a 17-0 lead out of the gate. ISU sophomore kicker Braulio Martinez hit a 40-yard �eld goal to take a 3-0 lead with 7:44 left in the �rst quarter. Martinez’s kick capped a 10-play, 52-yard drive that took 4:59 o� the clock.

The lead grew on a �ve-yard pass to sophomore Ryan Roberts from Stutzriem for a 10-0 advantage with 5:50 left in the opening stanza. The four-play, nine-yard scoring drive was set up by a Sam Donatucci fumble which was forced by Nate Brown and recovered by Aaron Archie.

Indiana State’s lead ballooned to 17-0 on the biggest play of the game when tailback Darrius Gates hit Bryant Kent on a 75-yard scoring strike with 1:01 left in the �rst period, a play which was a perfectly executed tailback pass.

The Sycamores’ 17-0 advantage was its largest since a 28-7 lead over Illinois State on October 2, 2004.

Quincy cut the Sycamore lead down to 17-3 with a 22-yard �eld goal by Alex Beard with 11:12 to go in the second quarter.

The lead went down to 17-6 on a 30-yard �eld goal by Beard with 10:12 to go in the third quarter, the period’s only score.

That set up a wild fourth quarter in which Tyler Truttmann caught a 12-yard pass from Donatucci and then Donatucci found Chris Jenkins in the end zone for the two-point conversion to make it 17-14 with 14:09 to go.

The Sycamores answered back with a 27-yard Martinez �eld goal to make it 20-14 with 8:35 to go in regulation. Martinez connected on a pair of �eld goals against Quincy -- the �rst time in his career he has made more than �eld goal in a single game.

Donatucci knotted the score with 43 seconds left at 20 with a one-yard plunge into the end zone. Beard’s kick failed after Quincy was �agged for a false start and had to make its attempt from the eight-yard line instead of the three.

Indiana State was unable to score and even had to survive a last second attempt by Quincy as they gained possession with three seconds left on the clock.

Quincy won the toss to begin overtime and elected to play defense. The Hawks held as the Sycamores lost the ball on a botched shotgun snap back to Stutzriem.

Quincy marched down to the one-yard line and the Sycamore defense held on �rst and goal, but on second and goal, Donatucci plunged in from a yard out to earn the 26-20 overtime victory.

Gates paced Indiana State with 102 yards on the ground while Stutzriem was 9-of-18 for 60 yards with an interception. Gates was the team’s leading passer with 75 yards in the air on the trick play in the �rst quarter.

Ryan Roberts caught a team-high three passes for 18 yards while Kent paced the team with his 75-yard scoring catch from Gates.

Defensively, Donye McCleskey and Aaron Archie each had 10 tackles on the night while Archie added a tackle for loss, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. Nate Brown paced ISU with three tackles for loss and forced a fumble.

Lawrence Young recorded the team’s only sack while ISU combined for nine tackles for losses in the game.

The Sycamores return to action on Saturday, September 5 when they travel to Louisville. Kick-o� is slated for 7:30 p.m. (EDT).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Indiana State took a 7-3 �rst-quarter lead but was held to 101 yards on the night by the Louisville defense in a 30-10 loss at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium Saturday night. In front of 39,344 fans, the Sycamores dropped to 0-2 on the season, while UL improved to 1-0.

The Sycamore defense proved that Louisville wouldn’t be the only defensive force on the evening as Indiana State put the stops to the Cardinal o�ense as well in their season opener.

ISU defensive back Santino Davis highlighted the game for ISU by posting a pair of interceptions – the most over any FBS opponent in ISU history – including one that set up a touchdown drive that gave the Sycamores an early 7-3 lead. Davis’ two interceptions in one game are the �fth-best showing in school history, and is the best performance since John Allman against Illinois State on Oct. 27, 1979.

Louisville produced a balanced o�ensive attack in its season opener, as Victor Anderson rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Justin Burke had a 17-for-31 passing night for 223 yards, and Ryan Payne also kicked three �eld goals of 28, 21 and 31 yards, respectively.

For the Sycamores, Antoine Brown led the ground game with 14 yards on nine carries, and Darrius Gates produced eight yards on 10 tries. Larry Lacotti had three receptions for 26 yards, while Ryan Roberts totaled 24 yards on two receptions. Defensively, Aaron Archie had the most tackles of any player on either team with 9.5.

Louisville jumped on the board �rst with a �eld goal by Payne at 9:44 in the �rst quarter. The Sycamores responded with an interception by Davis just before the 6:00 mark, grabbing a Burke pass at the Louisville 33-yardline and returned it four yards to the UL 29. The pick set up a touchdown drive led by ISU quarterback Chris Stutzriem, who guided a seven-play, 29-yard drive. The sophomore faced a third-and-goal situation from the 3-yard-line before a short touchdown run – his �rst rushing TD of the season – with 1:30 remaining. Braulio Martinez added an extra-point kick to give ISU a 7-3 lead to �nish the �rst quarter.

The Cardinals rallied with two touchdowns in the second quarter, with Powell �nding the end zone �rst on a six-yard touchdown run at 9:57, putting UL up 10-7. Louisville then worked its way down the �eld again, as Victor Anderson scored with 5:03 remaining in the half on a six-yard run. The Sycamores’ Davis intercepted his second pass of the game in the �nal minute, and ISU trailed 17-7 at halftime.

In the third quarter, UL went up 24-7 on a 14-yard rushing touchdown by Anderson and a Payne kick. The Cardinals extended the lead with 49 seconds remaining in the quarter, with Payne’s �eld goal for a 27-7 score. Gates added a spark with a 55-yard kicko� return for ISU, bringing the ball to the UL 31 with 49 seconds to go.

Travis Johnson entered the game in place of Stutzriem to begin the drive, tossing a 15-yard pass to Lacotti to take it to the UL 16 and later hitting Lacotti again for a �ve-yard completion at the 13 yardline. The drive allowed Martinez to kick a 30-yard �eld goal at 12:58 to chip the Cardinal lead to 27-10.

UL tacked on another �eld goal from Payne at 7:52, increasing the lead to 30-10 and giving the Cardinals their �rst win of the season.

The Sycamores were e�cient in the game, converting on 7-of-16 third down conversions while holding Louisville to just 1-of-9.
