Fourth series meeting all-time, all since 2004
* denotes Southern Conference game – All times listed are Eastern
A WESTERN CAROLINA WIN WOULD:
• Represent arguably the biggest victory in the school’s
football program history – and would rank among the
biggest upset wins of all-time in college football ... It
would also be the first win for a SoCon team over a FBS
opponent this season;
• Be WCU’s first-ever victory over a Football Bowl Subdi-
vision (FBS) team (0-51) ... WCU is 0-3 versus nationallyranked FBS foes;
• Halt the current three-game losing skid in the all-time
series with Alabama ... It would also be WCU’s first-ever
win over the Crimson Tide and the first against a team
from the Southeastern Conference;
• Give the Catamounts their most seasonal victories (8)
since scoring eight wins back in 1984.
A WESTERN CAROLINA LOSS WOULD:
• Be the fourth-straight in the head-to-head series with
Alabama all-time ... End WCU’s season above .500 at
7-5 on the year.
CATAMOUNT QUICK SLANTS:
• WCU’s roster includes 54 players from the state of North
Carolina ... Georgia is second with 26 players followed by
South Carolina (8), Florida (2) and Connecticut, Illinois,
Maryland and Texas each with one ... WCU has one foreignborn player in Helva Matungulu who is from Nairobi, Kenya;
WCU at Alabama

PAGE 1
• Western Carolina’s 12-game 2014 schedule featured a
six-game home schedule for the first time since 2011;
• Western Carolina bookends the 2014 season with games
against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams ... WCU
opened at American Athletic Conference member, South
Florida (L, 36-31), and closes the regular season at perennial Southeastern Conference (SEC) power, Alabama ... It is
the fourth time since 2004 that WCU visits Alabama;
• Western Carolina’s 22 rushing touchdowns matches it’s
most since 2012 ... It is just the 14th time since 1967 that
WCU had 20-or-more scores on the ground;
• Prior to the Chattanooga loss, Western Carolina had
dropped two games this season by a combined nine points
– five point loss at USF (36-31) in the season-opener and
four points at Presbyterian (19-14);
• WCU has outscored opponents 98-to-55 in the first quarter this season ... the Catamounts’ 98 first quarter points
more than triples its total in 12 games from the 2013 season as WCU only managed 29 points in the 1st quarter;
• Western Carolina returns 18 starters between its offense
and defensive units, only losing one starter on offense (OL,
Quevalas Murray) and three on defense (LB, Courtland Carson; DL, Pete Balthrop; DL, Andre Whitmire);
• WCU has just seven seniors on its 2014 roster: QB Garrett
Brown, DB Ace Clark, LB Christon Gill, LB K.P. Hicks, WR Jeff
Moore, PK Richard Sigmon and RB Shaun Warren.

WCU AT ALABAMA – GAME NOTES /// CATAMOUNTSPORTS.COM
WESTERN CAROLINA VS. ALABAMA – SERIES HISTORY:
• Western Carolina and Alabama meet for the fourth time ever on the football gridiron with
the Crimson Tide having won each of the previous three meetings in 2004, 2007 and 2012
... However, Alabama had to vacate the ‘07 victory in the summer of 2009;
• Alabama won the first meeting in 2004, 52-0, before winning the 2007 game, 52-6, in
the season opener ... the 2007 meeting on the gridiron happened to be the same day former
SoCon-member Appalachian State scored a 34-32 road win over #5 Michigan in Ann Arbor
– current WCU coach John Holt was a player on that Mountaineer squad, Catamount head
coach Mark Speir and offensive coordinator Brad Glenn were both assistant coaches on
ASU’s staff that afternoon.
FAMILIAR FACES IN THE WESTERN CAROLINA – ALABAMA SERIES:
• WCU defensive ends coach Mark Rhea played defensive line for Nick Saban while the two
were at the Univ. of Toledo, winning a share of Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championship in 1990 ... Rhea also worked as a graduate assistant under Saban at Michigan State
from 1994-95;
• Nick Saban’s first games as head coach at both LSU and Alabama came against the same
opponent – Western Carolina ... In 2000, Saban guided the LSU Tigers to a 58-0 victory at
Tiger Stadium in his bayou debut ... Then in 2007, Saban made his debut with the Crimson
Tide with a 52-6 victory over the Catamounts;
• Alabama wide receivers coach Billy Napier knows about the Catamounts as he was a quarterback at SoCon-rival, Furman (1999-2002) ... Napier’s best game came in the narrow 2423 Furman victory in 2002 when he threw for 252 yards on 15-of-22 passing with one INT.
WESTERN CAROLINA VS. TEAMS FROM THE SEC, FBS:
• Dating back to the 1986 season, Western Carolina is a combined, 0-15, all-time versus
squads that are currently in the Southeastern Conference ... the Catamount football team
has faced half – seven of the 14 teams – currently in the SEC: Alabama, Auburn, Florida,
Georgia, LSU, South Carolina and Vanderbilt ... WCU has not faced Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee or Texas A&M ... However, WCU does have
two SEC foes on its 2015 schedule – both Tennessee and Texas A&M (MORE ON PAGE SIX);
• Dating back to 1977 when WCU went NCAA Div. I-AA, the Catamounts are 0-49 against
teams at the NCAA FBS level ... WCU’s closest game came at Cincinnati in 2005 – a 7-3
defeat ... WCU is 0-3 against nationally-ranked FBS teams;
• Since 1982, the Southern Conference has 26 wins over teams from the current Football
Bowl Subdivision (FBS) ... Two of the wins came against SEC-foe, South Carolina (Furman in
1982; The Citadel in 1990) ... SoCon members are 0-2 to date against the SEC in 2014 with
Tennessee defeating Chattanooga and South Carolina beating Furman ... Samford visits Auburn on Saturday evening for the fourth SoCon-SEC game this year;
• Entering this weekend, a combined eight teams from the NCAA Football Championship
Subdivision (FCS) have beaten teams from the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 2014;
• Since 2005, Western Carolina has faced four different teams a combined six times that
have gone on to play for – or to win – either the Football Championship (FCS) National
Championship or Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) – or Bowl Championship Series (BCS)

LAST TIME WE MET – ALABAMA 49, WCU 0: (11/17/12)
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Fourth-ranked Alabama scored rushing touchdowns on four of its
first five possessions, adding a 29-yard passing TD to cap a 99-yard drive en route to a
49-0 nonconference victory over Western Carolina at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Alabama (10-1) scored on six of its first seven possessions including all five in the first
half, adding a 57-yard fumble return for a touchdown to carry a 42-0 advantage into halftime. The Crimson Tide got three rushing touchdowns from Eddie Lacy, who just missed
eclipsing the century mark with 99 yards on 10 carries.
Back-up quarterback Blake Sims capped the game’s scoring in the third quarter with a
five-yard run to provide the final tally.
Western Carolina (1-10) managed 163 yards of total offense which included 123 yards
in the second half against the Crimson Tide defense. Starting quarterback Troy Mitchell
threw for 30 yards on 4-of-8 passing and was sacked once, but also had a costly turnover
on a throwback pass to his QB counterpart, Eddie Sullivan, which the Tide turned into a
57-yard fumble recovery touchdown.
Sullivan finished 4-of-12 passing for 63 yards, adding a team-high 28 yards rushing.
Tailback Michael Johnson caught a team-high five passes out of the backfield while
junior Jamil James led the team with WCU’s long gain of the day on his first career reception - a 30-yard reception in the third quarter.
Defensively for the Catamounts, Sertonuse Harris finished with eight tackles while Ace
Clark tallied five stops.

CATAMOUNTSPORTS.COM /// WCU AT ALABAMA – GAME NOTES
WESTERN CAROLINA GAME NOTE ODDS–AND–ENDS:
• In the 2014 season opener at South Florida, the Catamount offense ran a combined 96 plays – just three shy of the
program record of 99 set against Marshall back in 1991;
• WCU’s offense scored points on all but two drives against Brevard, punting once late in the second quarter and taking
a knee on the final possession of the game ... The 45 points scored by WCU are the most by a team under the direction

Catamount QB, surpassing Josh Brook’s five rushing scores in 1996 ... Adam Hearns had four rushing TDs in 2007 to
match Chad Greene’s mark in 1995 and Don Dalton’s four in 1967.
SEC – SOUTHERN CONFERENCE CONNECTIONS:
• Founded in 1921, the Southern Conference – the fifth
oldest in the nation – gave rise to two of the premier conferences in America – the Southeastern (SEC, founded in
1932) and the Atlantic Coast (ACC, founded in 1952) ...
Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the
Pac-12 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older;
• A combined 11 of the current 14 SEC teams (minus Arkansas, Missouri and Texas A&M) played under the SoCon
banner ... Six of those 11 SEC schools were founding members in 1921 – Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi State and Tennessee – with five joining a year later
– Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Vanderbilt;
• Since the FCS inception for the 1978 season, the SoCon
has produced EIGHT FCS (previously I-AA) national championships ... Only Furman (1988) is a current SoCon member
with a national title ... Former conference members Georgia
Southern (1999 and 2000), Marshall (1992 and ‘96) and
Appalachian State (2005, ‘06, ‘07) also claimed national
titles while members of the SoCon (NOTE: Georgia Southern
won four national titles prior to joining the SoCon);
• Also, on eight different occasions, a SoCon team has
finished as national runner-up, including Western Carolina
in 1983 ... WCU was the FIRST SoCon team to play in the
FCS (I-AA) National Title game ... In 2007, Appalachian
State became the first FCS team to defeat a FCS nationallyranked Top 25 team when it downed #5 Michigan;
• Under the leadership of Wallace Wade, Alabama won
three National Championships as a member of the original
Southern Conference – 1925, 1926 and 1930;
• From 1922 through 1932, Alabama posted a combined
record of 86-18-3 as a member of the Southern Conference, including a conference record of 60-15-3 ... the Crimson Tide posted three-straight undefeated SoCon seasons
from 1924 through 1926.
WESTERN CAROLINA IN SEASON FINALES:
Since joining the Southern Conference in 1976, Western
Carolina is 13-25 all-time in final regular season games,
including just a 3-13 mark when the season’s last game is
played away from home ... the Catamounts have dropped
10-straight season finales, last winning in 2003 with a 3916 home victory over Gardner-Webb – and 13-straight regular season finales away from home, last winning in 1984.
SUCCESSFUL 2014 FOR WESTERN CAROLINA:
• Western Carolina enters its season finale with the most
seasonal victories (7) since scoring seven wins back in 2001
... It is just the 12th time in school history that a WCU football team has won seven-or-more games in a season;
• WCU closed its Southern Conference slate with five victories matching the most in program history and the most
since winning five in 2001 (5-3) ... WCU has won five league
games now nine times – (1983, 1984, 1986, 1992, 1993,
1994, 1998, 2001, 2014);
• The Catamounts secured a share of second-place in the
SoCon – the highest finish for WCU since 1986 and just the
fourth runner-up finish for WCU in the SoCon since joining
the league in 1977;
• Since joining the SoCon in 1977, the Catamounts have
started a conference season 4-0 just TWICE – doing so in
1978 and matching that best start again this season in
2014 ... WCU played for first-place on Nov. 1 vs. UTC;
• Western Carolina claimed its fifth home victory at Whit-
mire Stadium / Waters Field with the win over VMI ... the

For just the second time in school history, the letters that
abbreviate Western Carolina University – “W-C-U” – will adorn
the school’s football helmet. The new white lettering with gold
outline will accompany the front-facing Catamount head athletics logo, and was first used in the 2013 football season.
Western Carolina returned to its long-standing tradition of
wearing purple helmets in Cullowhee in 2012. This year’s version of the Catamount football helmet again features a deep
purple color with reflective gold metallic flake and a matching
deep purple facemask and chin straps.
Since 1969 when the legendary former head coach Bob
Waters stepped foot on the WCU campus, Catamount football
teams have worn purple helmets for 39 of the 44 years. The
only exceptions are the 1989 season under Dale Strahm with
the “yellow LSU” look, and four seasons which featured metallic
gold helmet with the new logo and three “cat scratches” down
the center. The “LSU-style” helmet was the only other design to
feature the letters, WCU.
Whereas WCU has sported solid purple domes on the football field numerous times in its history, the team has also used
myriad of logos to adorn the helmets over time. Prior to the 1971
season, Waters and his staff decided that the helmets needed
a new look – and as it turned out, it became the most recognizable helmet moniker in program history. The script “The Cats”
hit the headgear and, over time, became the tradition of WCU
football.
Although the print of the script changed in color – going
from white to gold – “The Cats” remained on the Catamount
football helmets for 27 of the next 29 years with the lone exception coming in 1989 under Strahm and the 1990 season which
again featured a un-logoed, purple helmet.
WCU underwent another helmet change in 1999 with a
golden block “W” on both sides and a white-and-gold, tri-stripe
down the middle which was on the headgear for three seasons.
“The Cats” returned to the helmets in 2002, adding a modern
treatment to that dynamic duo of words and a cat-like look with
eyes and whiskers enveloping the word mark.
The modern “The Cats” look stayed until 2008 when the
purple helmets gave way to the aforementioned golden domes.

Cullowhee, first working with the Catamount running backs from 1991-93, then the linebackers in 1994 before
coaching the defensive line and serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator from 1995-96 ... All told, Speir
has held the title of recruiting coordinator at three NCAA FCS institutions (WCU, Elon and ASU).
MARK SPEIR ERA – A RETURN “HOME” TO CULLOWHEE:
The 2012 season-opening Thursday night game against Mars Hill marked the “official” beginning of the WCU
head coaching career for Mark Speir ... Hired on Dec. 22, 2011, Speir was introduced to the Catamount Nation
before a standing-room-only audience in the Ramsey Center Hospitality Room ... Speir is the 13th different
head coach in Western Carolina’s football history ... It is his second stint in Cullowhee as Speir got his professional start in collegiate coaching in 1991 on staff with former head coach, Steve Hodgin ... Speir was on staff
at WCU from 1991 until 1996 ... His first son, Zeb, was born in Harris Regional Hospital in Sylva and his youngest son, Jackson, is named after the county in which Cullowhee resides.
CATAMOUNT FIRST-YEAR HEAD COACHES IN DEBUT OUTINGS:
Western Carolina first-year head coaches have combined to go 6-5-2 in their first-ever games dating back
to 1931 ... SIX of the 13 head coaches all-time have started out their career at WCU with a victory ... WCU’s
first-year head coaches are 4-1 in first career games that occur at home ... Mark Speir became the THIRDSTRAIGHT, first-year WCU head coach to win his debut game, with his 2012 Catamounts scoring THE MOST
POINTS by any team led by a first-year head coach in program history ... Bob Waters – WCU’s all-time winningest head coach – posted the best-ever first season by going 9-1 in 1969, opening the year with a victory:

RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM (31,642)
E.J. WHITMIRE STADIUM / BOB WATERS FIELD (8,929)
TAMPA, FLA. – Two Catamounts matched or established school
offensive single-game records on Saturday night, but it was not
enough to eclipse the debut of South Florida running back Marlon
Mack. The true freshman tailback rushed for 275 yards and four
touchdowns as the Bulls came from behind to fend off upset-minded
Western Carolina, 36-31, in the season-opener for both squads at
Raymond James Stadium.
Junior quarterback Troy Mitchell set a WCU single-game record
with a career-high 46 pass completions on a school-benchmark 66 pass attempts in the season-opener.
The Houston, Texas, product tossed a pair of touchdown passes and rushed for a third score, amassing a
career-high 374 yards passing - tied for the ninth-best, single-game performance.
On the receiving end of 27 of Mitchell’s completions was sophomore receivers Terryon Robinson and
Willie Police. Robinson matched a 30-year old school single-game record with a career-best 15 catches
for 121 yards and a touchdown as eight Catamounts recorded receptions. Police had 12 catches for 86
yards with redshirt sophomore Spearman Robinson catching eight passes for 69 yards and a fourth quarter
touchdown for the Purple & Gold.
The Catamounts led much of the night, pulling out to a 14-3 first quarter lead and carried a one-point,
17-16, edge into the halftime locker room. The lead remained intact until the waning moments of the third
quarter when Mack struck from 60 yards out to give USF a 23-17 advantage.
All told, Mack scored three touchdowns of 56-or-more yards including runs of 62, 60 and 56 yards,
respectively. He matched USF’s school single-game rushing record.
Catamount junior tailback Darius Ramsey amassed 111all-purpose yards including a team-high 58
yards on the ground and four catches for 53 yards through the air. His first quarter-ending, two-yard plunge
put WCU ahead, 14-3, through 15 minutes of play.
USF’s Marvin Kloss split the uprights on his second and third field goals of the evening from 33 and
26 yards out in the second quarter with WCU’s Richard Sigmon punching through a 33-yarder to provide
the halftime score, 17-16.
Mack then closed the third and opened the fourth quarters with scores to push the deficit to 13, 30-17.
Western Carolina pulled back to within one score on a six-yard Spearman Robinson touchdown reception
to cap an impressive 17-play drive only to see Mack rattle off his third rushing TD of the year to stretch the
score to 36-24. The Catamounts answered with Terryon Robinson’s 14-yard grab, but the ensuing on-side
kick failed to provide the finally tally, 36-31.

WCU at Alabama
CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Junior tailback Darius Ramsey rushed for three
touchdowns while his freshman counterpart Detrez Newsome scored
twice on the ground as Western Carolina pulled away from Brevard
College for a 45-21 home-opening victory in nonconference action
on Saturday afternoon at E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field.
Senior tailback Shaun Warren added a sixth rushing score in the
fourth quarter as WCU snapped a four-game slide that dated back
to last season. The Catamounts also got a 19-yard field goal from
senior Richard Sigmon to provide the final tally.
Newsome accounted for a game-high 207 yards in the win, rushing for a career-best 88 yards on seven
catches with 99 yards in kickoff return yardage. Ramsey also charted 88 yards rushing with three of his
eight rushing attempts finishing in the end zone.
Junior quarterback Troy Mitchell had another solid offensive performance, completing all but two of
his 15 pass attempts (13-for-15) for 142 yards. The Houston, Texas, product added 84 rushing yards and
was not sacked in the win. Senior QB Garrett Brown saw action in the backfield, orchestrating WCU’s final
scoring drive, rushing once for four yards.
Sophomore wide receiver Willie Police led the Catamounts with five catches for 27 yards while secondyear wide out Terryon Robinson led the team with 61 receiving yards on three catches.
Ramsey handed WCU an early two touchdown lead in the first quarter with rushing scores of one and
five yards. Brevard pulled back to within a score as quarterback Tanner Wright capped a 12-play drive with
a three-yard TD to make it 14-7 on the second play of the second quarter.
Newsome pushed WCU back ahead with his first career rushing score, making it 21-7 in the second
quarter. On the drive, the Raeford, N.C., native rushed for 37 of WCU’s 50 yards on the drive. Ramsey would
later add his third TD on the ground right before the half to make it 28-14 at intermission.
Brevard’s run-oriented option attack consumed over 11 minutes of the third quarter clock with Wright
capping the 18-play drive with his second rushing score of the contest to pull the Tornados back to within
seven points, 28-21. However, the Catamounts finished the game with 17-unanswered points including
a 33-yard rumble by Newsome, Sigmon’s field goal and Warren’s two-yard plunge to secure the victory.
For Brevard, running back Jordan Ollis rushed for 105 yards on 21 carries with a touchdown while
Wright scored twice with 99 yards rushing. Michael Gruber finished with 10 tackles to lead the Tornados
defensive unit.

PALADIN STADIUM (9,789)
CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Western Carolina scored 21-straight points in
the second half to pull away from upset-minded Catawba, claiming
a 35-17 Family Weekend victory over the Indians in nonconference
football action at E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field.
Junior quarterback Troy Mitchell threw for 223 yards and two
touchdowns, adding a rushing score in the third quarter that sparked
the offense’s three-consecutive TDs. Freshman tailback Detrez Newsome added two rushing touchdowns in the in the fourth quarter as
the Catamounts claimed their second-straight seasonal victory.
Mitchell tossed first quarter strikes of 44 yards to Spearman Robinson and 56 yards to second-year
receiver Willie Police for his first collegiate TD as WCU pulled out to an early, 14-0, lead.
Despite the explosive start and strong finish for the Catamount offense, it was the tenacity of the WCU
defense that helped seize the day. WCU’s defenders forced four turnovers – taking away two fumbles and
two interceptions – while also limiting the Indians to a missed field goal attempt in their opening drive
of the game.
With WCU leading by a touchdown, 14-7, the Catamount defense came up with a huge momentum swing
on a turnover just before halftime. Catawba was amidst a 13-play drive when quarterback Mike Sheehan
connected with tight end Tyler Hamilton on a 21-yard gain, moving inside the Catamount five-yard line.
However, defensive back Bryson Jordan was credited with knocking the football loose at the two-yard line
to prevent Hamilton from scoring the would-be tying touchdown with Sertonuse Harris pouncing on the
loose orb to thwart the scoring drive, preserving the one-score lead.
Western Carolina (2-1) led at intermission, 14-7, marking the third-straight game the Catamounts
have led after two quarters of play.
Catawba (1-1) opened the second half with a grinding 12-play drive, moving inside the red zone down
to the WCU 18-yard line. However, a penalty helped stall the drive and the Indians only managed a 39-yard
Chad Hollandsworth field goal to trim the Catamount edge to four, 14-10.
Inspired by the defense bending but not breaking, Mitchell guided the Catamounts 70 yards in six
plays, capped by his 19-yard scamper to pull-ahead, 21-10. Consecutive defensive stops coupled with
Newsome rushing touchdowns of two and six yards gave the home squad a 35-10 lead as Western Carolina
would hold on for the victory, 35-17.
Mitchell finished 16-of-27 for 223 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Senior Garrett Brown added his
first completion of the season – and 11-yard strike to Newsome in the fourth quarter – while also rushing
for 31 yards on five carries from scrimmage.

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Spearman
Robinson hauled in two receiving touchdowns and freshman
tailback Detrez Newsome added two rushing scores as Western
Carolina opened Southern Conference play with a convincing 35-17
road victory over Furman at Paladin Stadium.
Robinson, finished with five catches for 120 yards and two first
half scores as the Catamounts jumped out to 14-3 lead midway
through the second quarter. Junior tailback Darius Ramsey carried
the ball 17 times for 113 yards and a late second quarter TD to cap an eight-play drive that staked WCU
to a 21-3 advantage. Newsome added two rushing scores between the third and fourth quarters to cap
WCU’s scoring, his third-consecutive two-TD outing.
Saturday’s victory in its Southern Conference opener snapped four long losing skids for the Catamounts
– 22-straight on the road, 15 in a row away from home vs. league opponents, nine-straight road losses at
Furman and eight consecutive defeats overall to Furman.
Catamount quarterback Troy Mitchell amassed 252 yards of total offense including 70 yards rushing
and 182 passing yards on a 12-for-19 performance. Newsome rushed for 36 yards while Shaun Warren
added 13 on the ground. Redshirt junior WR Karnorris Benson made his first receptions of the season,
recording three catches for 36 yards.
WCU finished with 415 yards of offense on what was the league’s top-rated defense entering the
weekend. The Catamounts attempted just six second half passes, grinding out the victory on the ground.
Robinson hauled in the game’s first points on a 39-yard scoring strike on the game’s opening drive in
the first quarter. J.C. Hollingsworth answered as the rookie placekicker split the uprights from 51 yards
away to trim the deficit to four, 7-3. It would prove to be as close as Furman would get.
WCU’s quick-strike offense put six on the board in just two plays as Robinson caught his second TD of
the day on a 21-yard reception midway through the second quarter with Ramsey racing in untouched off
the left end late in the frame to make it 21-3 in favor of the Purple & Gold.
The Catamounts led at the break, 21-10, as Furman ended the half with a five-yard touchdown reception by tight end Duncan Fletcher.
With the game still hanging in the balance after Furman cut the margin to 11 at 28-17, the Paladins
forced and recovered a fumble on a kickoff that gave the home squad excellent field position. WCU’s
defense stiffened, though, forcing a 35-yard field goal attempt after a three-and-out that was missed,
ultimately sealing the game.
The Catamounts would add Newsome’s second rushing score to provide the final tally, 35-17.

BAILEY MEMORIAL STADIUM (4,007)
CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian bookended its scores with two
interception returns for touchdowns – the second coming inside
the game’s final two minutes – as the Blue Hose handed Western
Carolina a heart-breaking 19-14 road loss in nonconference action
on Saturday afternoon at Bailey Memorial Stadium.
Trailing at intermission for the first time this season, Western
Carolina (3-2) grabbed the lead back from the Blue Hose with the
only offensive score of the second half as Troy Mitchell found Spearman Robinson from 21 yards out to give WCU a slim one-point, 14-13, advantage.
Mitchell, who left the game midway through the third quarter due to an injury, threw for 141 yards
and two touchdowns, but was intercepted twice. Mitchell added a total of 26 rushing yards, a number
affected by two sacks.
With WCU still clinging to the one-point lead inside the game’s final two minutes, Presbyterian defensive
lineman Deonte Davis intercepted an errant pass attempt from Catamount back-up quarterback Garrett
Brown and rumbled 32 yards for what proved to be the game-winning score.
On the ensuing possession, true freshman quarterback Wes Holcombe’s first pass attempt was intercepted, sealing the victory for PC – their first over WCU since 1969.
Presbyterian (3-2) took an early lead as a Mitchell pass to the right flat was bobbled and then intercepted
by Ed Britt who took it 25 yards for a touchdown and the early 6-0 lead. The Catamounts would later take
the lead, 7-6, as Mitchell found a streaking sophomore Tyler Sexton for a 31-yard strike, the first receiving
touchdown for the second-year tight end.
WCU trailed at intermission for the first time this season as PC got its only offensive touchdown of the
game midway through the second quarter on a Kaleb Griffin quarterback sneak, 13-7.
Junior tailback Darius Ramsey led the Catamount ground attack with 72 yards rushing on 15 carries
while freshman Detrez Newsome rushed for 69 yards on 13 carries, losing a first quarter fumble. All told,
Newsome amassed 114 yards of total offense including 40 on kickoff returns and five receiving.
Eight different Catamounts caught passes led by sophomore Terryon Robinson with five receptions for
60 yards. Spearman Robinson caught two passes for 39 yards and the TD – his third-straight game with
a score – with Karnorris Benson also tallying two catches in the loss.
Senior linebacker Christon Gill led the Catamount defense with eight tackles including seven solo
stops and one TFL. Linebacker Daniel Riddle finished with seven tackles, while Trey Morgan matched
with a career-high seven stops – all solo – and came away with his team-leading third interception of the
season in the first quarter.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Western Carolina freshman Detrez Newsome
returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for the game’s first points,
and later capped a game-sealing scoring drive with a 24-yard touchdown romp as the Catamounts upended the Wofford Terriers, 26-14,
on Saturday afternoon at E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field.
In between Newsome’s plays, it was all about defense and
special teams for the Catamounts, who struggled to find much
rhythm offensively and were held to a season-low 246 yards of total
offense – over 150 yards shy of their season average.
Newsome finished with a game-high 180 all-purpose yards including 140 on kickoff returns, 29 rushing
and 11 yards on passes caught out of the backfield. With the game still hanging in the balance with just
a five-point margin, Newsome charted his seventh career rushing touchdown on the fourth quarter romp
that provided the game’s finally tally and sealed the victory.
On the other side of the football, the Catamount defense - which opened its week of preparation for
Saturday’s game by reiterating to the offense that it had its back - proved true to its Tuesday vow. WCU’s
defensive unit limited the nation’s third-best rushing attack to a season-low 270 yards despite allowing
102 yards on the ground in the opening quarter.
Wofford was limited to 273 yards of total offense and 14 points in the loss, both season lows.
Following Newsome’s 100-yard game-opening touchdown inside the game’s first 12 seconds, Wofford
(3-3, 1-1 SoCon) evened the game on a 13-yard Jacks touchdown run to pull the two squads even after
the opening quarter.
Midway through the second quarter, the Catamount offense pulled ahead for what proved to be for
good as Richard Sigmon split the uprights from 33 yards away, capping a 10-play, 51-yard drive to give
WCU the 10-7 lead it would preserve into intermission.
Western Carolina (4-2, 2-0 SoCon) was poised to punch in a second touchdown of the day early in the
third quarter, but the Terrier defense stymied the Catamounts at the goal line in four plays. However, with
Wofford backed up against its own goal line, the defense capitalized by pouncing on Jacks in the end zone
after a mishandled snap for the team’s first safety since 2006.
The Catamounts opened a nine-play drive at the end of the third quarter and capped it at the start of
the fourth as Mitchell plunged forward for a one-yard score and a 19-7 advantage.
Wofford responded, though, moving 88 yards in just six plays including a 33-yard Cam Flowers rush
and a 23-yard jaunt by Ray Smith before Flowers found pay-dirt on a 10-yard rush to pull the game back
to within five points, 19-14, setting up Newsome’s fourth quarter score.

MERCER UNIV. STADIUM (9,277)
MACON, GA – Spearman Robinson hauled in three of Western
Carolina’s four receiving touchdowns on Saturday afternoon as
the Catamounts remained perfect in Southern Conference play
with a 35-21 road victory over the Mercer Bears at the Mercer
University Stadium.
Robinson finished with seven catches for 108 yards including
scoring strikes of 33, three and 42 yards, all from quarterback Troy
Mitchell. Redshirt junior Karnorris Benson tallied his first receiving
touchdown of the season on a double-pass from fellow receiver Terryon Robinson as WCU improved to
5-2 overall, 3-0 in league play.
Mitchell finished the game 13-of-18 passing for 194 yards with the career-high tying three touchdown
passes. He also added 62 yards rushing, second just to freshman tailback Detrez Newsome who carried the
ball 16 times for 76 of his 115 all-purpose yards. Benson tallied 63 receiving yards and 37 on kickoff returns.
Mercer (5-3, 1-3 SoCon) opened the second half with a five-play scoring drive, but was limited to a
44-yard field goal by WCU’s defense that trimmed the Catamount advantage to eight, 21-13. It would be
as close as the home squad - dressed in all black - would get.
On the ensuing possession, the Catamount offense was sparked by a 10-yard completion from Mitchell
to Robinson on a third and long and later spurred by a 52-yard catch-and-run by sophomore Willie Police.
WCU moved 78 yards in seven plays to respond, capping the drive with Robinson’s three-yard score to
stretch the margin to 28-13.
Robinson would later put the finishing touches on an eight-play, 77-yard drive to open the fourth
quarter. The Greenwood, S.C., product out-leaped a Bear cornerback on a deep ball down the near sideline
before high-stepping his way into the end zone on a 42-yard strike, his third receiving score of the game.
Mercer added a late 26-yard passing touchdown to provide the final tally, 35-21.
WCU’s defense opened the game’s scoring, recording points in its second-consecutive game. With
Mercer backed up against own goal line, Sertonuse Harris first hit running back Alex Lakes before safety
Ace Clark finished the job, jarring the football loose on a rush to the right where corner back Jaleel Lorquet
scooped and scored from the 10-yard line to give the Catamounts an early, 7-0, lead.
Harris finished with a game-high 14 total tackles including 12 solo stops and three tackles for loss
including a sack. Clark added eight tackles including half a TFL to the forced fumble.
Robinson put WCU on the board with its first offensive touchdown later in the opening frame on a
33-yard scoring strike from Mitchell. The Bears got on the board late in the first quarter with the first of
two field goals, the first by Jagger Lieb.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Western Carolina amassed 633 yards of
total offense and forced four takeaways on defense on Saturday
afternoon as the Catamounts remained unbeaten at home and tied
atop the Southern Conference standings with a 29-15 Homecoming victory over The Citadel Bulldogs at E.J. Whitmire Stadium /
Bob Waters Field.
Junior quarterback Troy Mitchell accounted for 422 yards of
total offense including 291 yards passing on 21-of-29 passing and
a game-high 131 yards rushing to pace the Catamount offensive attack. True freshman tailback Detrez
Newsome tallied the first 100-yard rushing performance of his career with 123 yards on the ground as a
part of 154 all-purpose yards.
All told, the Catamount offense went toe-to-toe with the SoCon’s top rushing attack of the Bulldogs.
The Citadel finished with 360 yards on the ground while WCU rushed for 342 with both squads finishing
with two backs over 100-yards on the ground.
Mitchell’s favorite target was slot receiver Terryon Robinson who hauled in 10 passes for a career-high
183 yards. It is his second 100-yard receiving game this year (121 at USF), and the second double-digit
reception game of his WCU career. Karnorris Benson added a season-best four catches for 37 yards, scoring
on a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter.
WCU broke a scoreless tie midway through the first quarter as Mitchell capped a brief six-play, 52-yard
drive with an eight-yard strike to sophomore tight end Tyler Sexton to put the home squad ahead, 7-0.
However, before the opening stanza would end, the Bulldogs marched 68 yards in 10 plays including
seven rushes for their first score. Quarterback Aaron Miller scored from five yards out to pull to within a
point. Then, from their normal odd-man front PAT formation, the Bulldogs went for two with Dane Anderson
connecting with a sprinting Alex Glover for the two-point conversion and a one-point, 8-7, lead.
Newsome added a pair of second half rushing touchdowns with Darius Ramsey providing the insurance
score with a 20-yard touchdown rush in the fourth quarter.
Sophomore linebacker Tyson Dickson led the Catamount defensive charge with a career-best 16 tackles
including five solo stops and one tackle for loss. Defensive back Trey Morgan tallied a career-high nine
hits with six solo stop and one for loss and was a part of three of WCU’s four takeaways. Morgan forced a
pair of fumbles and came up with his team - and SoCon-leading - fifth interception of the season in the
winning effort.

SEIBERT STADIUM (4,689)
CULLOWHEE, N.C. – No. 12/14 Chattanooga rolled up 512 yards
of offense including a season-high 386 yards on the ground as it
handed Western Carolina its first Southern Conference loss of the
season in a 51-0 defeat at E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field.
UTC tailback Keon Williams rushed for 194 yards and two
touchdowns as eight different Mocs recorded carries. Running
back Marquis Green and quarterback Jacob Huesman both added
ground scores with the latter also tossing two touchdown passes
for UTC. Placekicker Henrique Ribeiro added three field goals in the winning effort.
Western Carolina struggled finding any rhythm offensively, held to three-and-out on its first three possessions of the game. It wasn’t until early in the second quarter that the offensive unit earned its first, first
down on a nine-yard pass from quarterback Troy Mitchell to wide receiver Terryon Robinson.
Adding to WCU’s struggles were two second half turnovers coming on a fumble and a fourth quarter
interception. The Catamounts were limited to just 42 offensive plays – 18 fewer than the 60 rushing attempts by UTC and 32 fewer than the Mocs’ 74 offensive snaps.
Mitchell, who entered the game leading the SoCon in total offense per game (259.9 yds/gm), was
held to just 77 total yards with five yards rushing after three sacks ate into his total and 72 yards through
the air on 8-of-17 passing. WCU’s big-play offense was held in check with just one big strike - a 40-yard
pitch-and-catch to Karnorris Benson - but was unable to capitalize on the momentary spark.
Western Carolina’s defense stopped the UTC offense twice on the game’s opening possession, a drive
that was kept alive by a five-yard penalty on the first Mocs punt just five plays into the game. However, the
Catamount offense was unable to muster a first down and WCU was forced to punt the ball back to the
Mocs after just a minute and a half of clock time.
On the ensuing possession, Huesman and the Mocs marched just 49 yards for the score, a one-yard
Williams plunge to give UTC all the points it would ultimately need.
After a second three-play series for the WCU offense, Williams broke free for a 39-yard rushing touchdown so stake the Mocs to a two-score advantage after the first quarter.
Chattanooga (6-3, 5-0 SoCon) tacked on three, second quarter touchdowns including two through the
air from Huesman to Taharin Tyson (51 yards) and Tommy Hudson (21 yards) with Huesman rumbling in off
the right side from one-yard out for his rushing score. Henrique Ribeiro split the uprights from 33 yards
out to provide the halftime tally, 38-0.
The Catamounts only allowed one second half touchdown - a 36-yard scamper by Green late in the
fourth quarter, otherwise limiting the Mocs to two Ribeiro field goals of 27 and 39 yards.

WCU at Alabama
BIRMINGHAM, ALA. – Samford’s Denzel Williams scored two
touchdowns on the ground as a part of a 156-yard rushing performance and quarterback Michael Eubank tossed a pair of first half
touchdown passes as the Bulldogs rode a 28-point outburst in the
opening half to a 34-20 victory over Western Carolina in Southern
Conference action at Seibert Stadium.
Western Carolina, which dropped back-to-back games for the
first time this season, fell to 6-4 overall, 4-2 in league play while
Samford improved to 6-3 on the season, also 4-2 in SoCon play.
Two Eubank scoring passes – one to Jeremiaha Gates on a 35-yard screen pass and one to Karel
Hamilton – and Williams’ two rushing touchdowns put Samford up 28-0 late in the second quarter. The
Bulldogs scored 14 points in both of the first two quarters.
Eubank finished with 15-of-24 passing for 232 yards for the Bulldogs while Williams ran for 156 yards
on 27 carries. Hamilton finished with a game-high 115 receiving yards
WCU quarterback Troy Mitchell capped a 75-yard drive when he ran it in from the three-yard line for
the first Western Carolina score with 2:25 left in the first half to make it 28-7 at intermission. The score
halted a string of five-straight quarters without points for the Catamounts while also halting Samford’s
run of nine-consecutive shutout quarters.
A pair of Reece Everett field goals in the second half sandwiched around Spearman Robinson’s team
and SoCon-leading ninth receiving TD - a one-yard strike - put it out of reach for Western Carolina.
Mitchell tightened the gap in the final minutes to provide the final score, again taking the Catamounts
85 yards in 11 plays and scoring his second rushing touchdown. Overall, Mitchell threw for 262 yards on
26-of-40 passing with two interceptions, tossing the score to Robinson.
Junior Karnorris Benson led the Catamounts with a season-best seven catches for 91 yards. Sophomore
Willie Police hauled in six passes for 40 yards for WCU. Junior tailback Darius Ramsey rushed 18 times
for 95 yards in the loss.
Defensively for WCU, senior linebacker Christon Gill and sophomore defensive back Trey Morgan recorded eight tackles apiece. Gill tallied two tackles for loss while Morgan recovered a pair of fumbles in the loss.

BRYANT-DENNY STADIUM
CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Quarterback Troy Mitchell accounted for six
touchdowns including a career-best five TD passes and added a
55-yard touchdown run to highlight a strong offensive performance
for the Catamounts as Western Carolina closed the home portion
of its schedule with a 42-27 Southern Conference victory over VMI

WCU’s offense exploded for a season-high 640 yards as two

century mark through the air. All told, the Catamounts rushed for 301 yards while passing for 339 in the
winning effort.
Karnorris Benson set a school-record with four first-half receiving touchdowns, matching the program’s
benchmark for TD catches in a single-game as a part of a 127-yard receiving performance. He was joined
by sophomore Terryon Robinson who pulled down a game-high 12 passes, also for 127 yards.
Junior tailback Darius Ramsey rushed for a 78 of his season-high 128 yards in the first half, toting the
football 19 times for his sixth career 100-yard game.
But the orchestrator of it all was Mitchell who combined for 448 yards of total offense including 339
yards through the air – the third-highest total of his career – and 109 yards on the ground including a
game-sealing 55-yard touchdown romp late in the fourth quarter. Mitchell only misfired 10 times on 32of-42 passing with one interception.
Making just his second career start – and with it coming in his final home game – defensive back Terrence Green set-up WCU’s first score of the day as he picked off VMI quarterback Al Cobb. Mitchell and
the offense marched 62 yards in eight plays with Benson catching his first of four touchdown passes from
seven yards out to cash-in WCU’s first takeaway for the 7-0 lead.
Mitchell and Benson would again hook-up for scoring strikes of 39 and 17 yards to grab a 21-0
advantage early in the second quarter.
VMI got on the board midway through the second stanza on a nine-yard scoring run by Deon Watts to
make it 21-7. Benson then put an exclamation point on a superb first half with his fourth receiving score
on a 28-yard strike from Mitchell with the Keydets tacking on the first of two Dillon Christopher field goals
with a 45-yarder to provide the halftime score, 28-10.
Gill led the Catamounts with eight tackles including five solo stops and half a TFL in addition to his
interception. His classmate Ace Clark matched his tackle total with eight stops with a pair of pass breakups while Daniel Riddle finished with six tackles. Defensive end Andrew Mayton sacked VMI’s quarterback
once while both Caleb Hawkins and Damian Whitaker forced fumbles, the latter recovering his own strip.
