THE OLD LEATHER HELMET 5
COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S NEWEST TRADITION
Each year, the best in college football open the season in Atlanta. At stake? The Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game’s
coveted Old Leather Helmet Trophy. An icon of toughness and courage, it represents the origins of college
football rivalries, and is worn only by the winner of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.
Regular season “trophy games” are an integral part of the history of college football: From Paul Bunyan’s
Axe to the Golden Hat to the Victory Bell to the Seminole War Canoe, college football is filled with emblems of big-game rivalries.
In 2008, the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game added The Old Leather Helmet to the mix, starting its own tradition.
The difference is … playing for The Old Leather Helmet is by invitation only.
As the tradition of The Old Leather Helmet has grown, it has come to include the winners of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game wearing
The Old Leather Helmet. Following the game, coaches and players from the winning team take turns wearing The Old Leather Helmet on the field and during the trophy presentation.
The battle for The Old Leather Helmet has served as a showcase for the brightest stars in college football since 2008, with a list of
alumni that includes 36 NFL first-round draft picks, seven National Coaches of the Year and 14 players who have earned National
Player of the Year awards.
Once again, college football’s elite programs have come to Atlanta to stake their claim to The Old Leather Helmet. Today’s game
features the Auburn Tigers and Louisville Cardinals, two teams meeting for only the second time in their programs histories and for
the first time since 1974. Both schools will be looking to not only add a strong neutral site win to their resumes, but also a Chick-filA Kickoff game victory to jump start their 2015 seasons.

LOUISVILLE CARDINALS COACHING STAFF
BOBBY PETRINO– HEAD COACH
On January 9, 2014, University of Louisville Vice President/Director of Athletics Tom Jurich announced Bobby Petrino as the
Cardinals’ football coach for the second time in his career. The Cardinals’ head coach from 2003-06, Petrino led UofL to unprecedented success in four seasons on the sidelines and currently boasts an 92-34 record at the collegiate level.
However, during his return this time, the Cardinals were making a step up, joining the Atlantic Coast Conference. That didn’t
matter to Petrino, directing his team to a 9-4 overall record and a 5-3 mark in the ACC. The three losses came by a total of 19
points and to a pair of ranked foes in No. 25 Clemson and No. 2 Florida State.
Petrino, who owns a 50-13 mark overall at Louisville and a 92-34 record all-time as a collegiate coach, directed the Cardinals
to their fifth-straight bowl appearance and a post-season berth in his first five seasons as the leader of the Cardinals.
Petrino directed the Cardinals to their first BIG EAST title in 2006, Louisville’s second year in the league. He guided that squad to a 12-1 record, which
tied the 2013 squad for the most wins in school history. The Cardinals ended the year with their highest national ranking in school history, finishing No. 5
in the Associated Press poll and sixth in the USA Today poll. The Cardinals opened the year going 8-0, including a win over third-ranked West Virginia, and
catapulted to as high as No. 3 in the nation.
Petrino literally grew up in the coaching profession. His father, Bob Petrino Sr., coached at Carroll College in Helena, Mont., for 26 seasons, earning 163
victories and 15 conference titles.
Before Bobby Petrino coached for his father, he played football for him at Carroll. Petrino played quarterback and twice earned NAIA All-America honors.
He led the Fighting Saints to three straight Frontier Conference championships and was named the league’s most valuable player in 1981 and 1982. He
also played four years of basketball at Carroll. Petrino earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education with a minor in mathematics from Carroll in 1983.

AUBURN TIGERS COACHING STAFF
GUS MALZAHN– HEAD COACH
In two years as head coach at Auburn, Gus Malzahn has led the Tigers to a 20-7 record and two January bowl games, including a SEC Championship and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game in 2013.
Named the 2013 National Coach of the Year after leading the Tigers to a 12-2 record and one of the most memorable seasons in school history, Malzahn’s second squad finished 8-5 record after navigating the nation’s most difficult schedule. In
2014, Auburn faced 11 teams that were bowl eligible, with five road games against ranked opponents. One of the most
innovative offensive minds in football, Malzahn’s high-powered offense has accounted for an average of 493.4 yards total
offense and 37.6 points per game over two seasons.
Malzahn, 29-10 in three seasons as a head coach, has won or played for a conference title in six of his nine seasons as a
college coach, including winning a conference crown in three of the last five seasons with Auburn in 2010 and 2013 and
Arkansas State in 2012. He became just the third coach in SEC history to win an SEC title in his first year at a school, joining LSU’s Bernie Moore in 1935
and Ole Miss’ John Vaught in 1947.
The 2013 Bear Bryant, Bobby Bowden, Eddie Robinson, Home Depot, Sporting News, SB Nation, Liberty Mutual and Associated Press National Coach of
the Year, Malzahn earned SEC Coach of the Year honors after guiding Auburn to the biggest turnaround in SEC history.
Malzahn’s coaching career began in his home state of Arkansas at the high school level. In 14 seasons as a high school head coach, Malzahn led seven
teams to the state championship game and won three titles. In July 2013, he was inducted into the Arkansas High School Sports Hall of Fame.
Malzahn is married to the former Kristi Otwell and they are the parents of two daughters, Kylie and Kenzie.

Alabama 34 - Clemson 10
Alabama 34 - Virginia Tech 24
Led by a stingy defense and a potent running attack, No. 24 Alabama
routed No. 9 Clemson 34-10 in the inaugural Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.
The Tigers vaunted backfield tandem of James Davis and C.J. Spiller
could only manage 20 yards on eight carries, while the Crimson Tide
duo of Mark Ingram and Glen Coffee combined for 186 yards on 34
rushes. Bama jumped out to a 23-3 lead at halftime behind three Leigh
Tiffin field goals, a 1-yard touchdown run by QB John Parker Wilson,
and a 4-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Nick Walker. The Tigers
showed signs of life to open the 2nd half, as Spiller took the opening
kickoff 96 yards to cut the margin to 23-10, but that would prove to be
the final points Clemson could muster against a dominant Tide defense.
Freshman sensation Julio Jones caught his first career touchdown late
in the third quarter to put Alabama on top 31-10, and Tiffin would add
a field goal in the 4th for the final margin. For the game, Alabama outrushed the Tigers 239-0 and racked up 25 first downs compared to
Clemson's 11.
The second-annual Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game served as the launching
point for a historic season for one of college football's most storied
programs. Alabama RB Mark Ingram kicked off his Heisman Trophy winning campaign with 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns to lead No.
5 Alabama to a 34-24 win over No. 7 Virginia Tech in front of a sell-out
crowd of 74,954. The season-opening win would also catapult the Crimson Tide towards a 14-0 record and an eventual BCS National Championship. However, it was Virginia Tech that held a 17-16 lead at halftime
on the strength of a 98-yard kickoff return from Dyrell Roberts and a 1yard plunge by RB Ryan Williams. Following a scoreless third quarter,
Alabama took the lead with 12:23 to play in the game on Ingram's first
score, a 6-yard touchdown run that was punctuated by a two-point
conversion on a pass from QB Greg McElroy to Colin Peek. The Crimson
Tide would stretch the lead to 27-17 just moments later on Leigh Kiffin's
fourth field goal of the game. Tech's Ryan Williams brought the Hokies
to within three points with a dazzling 32-yard touchdown run with 9:22
to play, but Ingram would put the game out of reach with an 18-yard
touchdown score on a pass from McElroy to seal the victory.

LSU 30 - North Carolina 24
No. 16 LSU held off a furious 4th quarter rally from a short-handed No. 18 ranked UNC squad to win the third-annual Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in
perhaps the most thrilling installment of the game to date. The Tigers, led by All-American Patrick Peterson appeared to have the game well in
hand in the second quarter, as Peterson scored on an 87-yard punt return to extend the lead to 23-10 with just 4:01 left in the half. One minute
later, the Tigers struck again as QB Jordan Jefferson found Reuben Randle for a 51-yard score to push the margin to 30-10 at the break. However,
it was the Tar Heels who seized the momentum in the 2nd half. Playing without 13 players due to an NCAA investigation, UNC cut the deficit to
30-17 when QB T.J. Yates found a wide-open Jehranie Boyd behind the LSU secondary for a Kickoff Game record 97-yard touchdown with 10:34
left in the 4th quarter. After another touchdown strike from Yates to Erik Highsmith cut the lead to 30-24, the Heels would recover an onside kick
with 2:31 to play in the game. Following a Yates fumble on 4th down, the Tigers looked ready to put the game away, but RB Stevan Ridley fumbled with 1:08 left in the game to give UNC one last chance. Carolina would drive inside the LSU 10-yard line, but a potential game-tying touchdown pass from Yates went through the hands of TE Zach Piannalto as time expired.

Boise State 35 - Georgia 21
Boise State’s Kellen Moore went 28-34 for 261 yards and three touchdowns to lead the No. 5 Broncos to a 35-21 win over No. 19 Georgia. After a
sluggish start to the game offensively for both teams, UGA opened up the playbook with a reverse for CB Brandon Boykin. The senior found a
seam and outraced the Bronco defense for an 80-yard touchdown run to put the Bulldogs up 7-0. From there, Boise State would seize control of
the game and would not let up. Moore led the Broncos down the field with a six play, 58-yard drive that culminated with a 17-yard touchdown
strike to freshman Matt Miller to knot the game at 7 apiece. Georgia had a chance to regain the momentum late in the second quarter after cornerback Branden Smith picked off Moore deep in Bulldog territory, but could not capitalize as Georgia’s Aaron Murray would toss an interception
of his own to Boise State’s Jerell Gavins. The Broncos would take advantage as Moore connected with tight end Kyle Efaw for a 12-yard touchdown with just seconds left in the half to give Boise a 14-7 lead at the intermission. Moore would open the second half with a vintage drive, connecting on all seven passes he attempted for 69 yards. Running back Doug Martin would cap the drive with a seven-yard touchdown run that put
the Broncos on top 21-7. Boise put the game away late in the third quarter on Moore’s third touchdown pass of the night, a three-yard toss to
Tyler Shoemaker that put the Broncos on top 28-7. Georgia would tack on two touchdowns late in the game, the first on a 36-yard touchdown
pass from Murray to Charles, and the second on a 51-yard strike from Murray to freshman Malcolm Mitchell, but never mounted a serious threat
to the Broncos.

Tennessee 35 - N.C. State 21
Clemson 26 - Auburn 19
The Friday night game in the first-ever Chick-fil-A Kickoff game doubleheader featured a pair of teams in No. 25 NC State and Tennessee who
had not faced off since 1963. Tennessee got off to a hot start as the
Volunteers scored 22 points in the first quarter. Quarterback Tyler Bray
connected with Cordarrelle Patterson on a 41-yard touchdown pass
during the Volunteers second drive of the game. NC State quickly tied
up the score with a short run by Tony Creecy. But an interception by
quarterback Mike Glennon on the ensuing possession would prove costly as Bray capitalized with a 72-yard touchdown pass to Zach Rogers.
Patterson also had a big night on the ground as he added a 67-yard
touchdown run to the Volunteers’ high-scoring first quarter. NC State’s
James Washington closed the Wolfpacks’ halftime to deficit to 22-14
with a three-yard touchdown run. However, Tennessee picked up right
where they left off as Rajion Neal completed a nearly 7-minute Volunteers drive with an 8-yard touchdown run. A 20-yard field goal by Michael Palardy pushed the lead to 32-14 to end the third quarter. NC
State fought back with a quick 5-yard touchdown pass from Glennon to
Bryan Underwood but would not score again. Palardy’s second field goal
of the night, this time a 35-yard kick, capped off the win for the Volunteers.

The double-header weekend continued on Saturday in front of a
Kickoff game record 75,211 fans between No. 24 Auburn and
No. 14 Clemson. Chandler Catanzaro put Clemson on the board
with a 24-yard field goal, but Auburn quickly responded with
Kiehl Frazier’s 54-yard touchdown pass to Emory Blake, scoring
the team’s only touchdown of the game. After adding on another field goal in the second quarter, Clemson regained the lead
on a 7-yard touchdown run by Roderick McDowell. After his 37yard field goal closed the gap to 13-10 at the half, Auburn’s Cody Parkey tied the game with a 46-yard kick on the team’s second drive of the third quarter. Both teams traded field goals to
head into the fourth quarter tied 16-16. Parkey added on his
fourth field goal of the day on a 36-yard kick to give Auburn its
first lead since the first quarter. However, Clemson then scored
ten unanswered points on Tajh Boyd’s 4-yard touchdown pass
to DeAndre Hopkins and Catanzaro’s fourth field goal of the day.
Down 26-19 with 1:24 left in the game, Auburn had one last
chance to score but two sacks proved costly as the drive stalled,
sealing the victory for Clemson.

The 2013 Chick-fil-A Kickoff game marked the second meeting of the
No. 1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and the Virginia Tech Hokies in
Atlanta. Alabama struck first when Christion Jones scored on a 72-yard
punt return. With less than two minutes to go in the first quarter Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon jammed in the two-yard touchdown run to give the
Crimson Tide a 14-0 advantage. Virginia Tech’s Trey Edmunds responded 26 seconds later with 77-yard touchdown to cut Alabama’s lead in
half. Alabama’s defense and special teams continued to be spectacular
in the second quarter. Vinnie Sunseri scored on a 38 yard interception
in the first 56 seconds of the quarter. Virginia Tech’s Cody Journell put
three more points on the board with a 39-yard field goal. On the Virginia Tech kickoff, Alabama’s Jones earned his second touchdown with a
94-yard kickoff return to put Alabama on top 28-10 going into the half.
Alabama tacked on seven more points when A.J. McCarron connected
with Jones for a 38-yard touchdown. Jones scored three of Alabama’s
five touchdowns. Despite the Hokies’ attempts to stage a comeback,
Alabama earned a 35-10 win. Alabama is 3-0 in Chick-fil-A Kickoff games
and 2-0 against the Hokies.

In the first game of the 2014 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game double-header, it
took No. 18 Ole Miss three quarters to get rolling on their way to a 3513 victory over Boise State. The Rebels erupted for 28 fourth-quarter
points as they were led by senior quarterback Bo Wallace who threw
for 387 yards and four touchdowns. Ole Miss struck first in the opening
quarter as Wallace found Cody Core for a 30-yard score. Over the next
two quarters, two field goals by Boise’s Dan Goodale of 25 and 43
yards was all the scoring that took place as the Broncos trailed 7-6
heading into the last 15 minutes. A little over two minutes into the
fourth-quarter, Wallace hit Laquon Treadwell from 14 yards out to
extend the Rebels lead to 14-6. The next four minutes provided more
fireworks as Wallace found Quincy Adeboyejo and Cody Core, for the
second time, for 31 and 76 yard touchdown scores, respectively. An 8yard pass from Grant Hedrick to running back Jay Ajayi cut the lead to
28-13 with four minutes left before a 19-yard scamper by Ole Miss
running back Mark Dodson stopped any threat of a Boise State comeback.

Alabama 33 - West Virginia 23
The No. 2 ranked Crimson Tide stretched their record in Kickoff Games to 4-0 as they defeated West Virginia 33-23 in Saturday afternoon’s Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.
Coming in as 26 point underdogs, the Mountaineers provided a much stiffer test than the country expected, led by quarterback Clint Trickett’s 365 yards passing.
Both teams traded field goals in the first quarter before Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon found the end-zone from 15 yards out to cap off a 95-yard drive. The Mountaineers
responded as Trickett found Kevin White for a 19-yard touchdown. Another Yeldon touchdown run was immediately answered by a 100-yard Mario Alford kickoff
return for a touchdown and the score was knotted once again at 17. The second-half began with a 19-yard Derrick Henry touchdown run as Alabama extended the
lead to double-digits. After that, both teams traded four field-goals throughout the rest of the contest. Crimson Tide kicker Adam Griffith connected on all four of

DOME FUN FACTS
For the 8th straight year, the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game will take
place inside the Georgia Dome. Located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, the Dome has hosted many other NCAA events,
including the SEC Football Championship for the past 21 years, 12
different ACC and SEC men’s basketball tournaments and the
NCAA Men’s Final Four three times, in 2002, 2007 and most recently in 2013.
Structure
• A total of 8,300 tons of reinforced steel was used to construct the
Dome. That is more than the weight of iron and steel used in the
Eiffel Tower.
• A 437-mile sidewalk, from Atlanta to Cincinnati, could be built from
the 110,000 cubic yards of concrete used at the Dome.
• The building covers 8.9 acres and is as tall as a 27-story building.
• The 290-foot high roof is composed of 130 Teflon-coated fiberglass
panels. The roof’s supporting cables total 11.1 miles. The roof spans
615 feet at its widest point and 750 feet at its longest point.
• A pair of C-5 military transport planes could fit on the Georgia
Dome's floor, which contains 102,000 square feet of prime exhibition
space.
Utilities
• Lighting is provided by 798 lighting fixtures in the roof structure.
• It takes 16,400 kilowatts of power to operate the Dome – enough
electricity to light up a city with a population of 13,000.
• The four, 1,250-ton air conditioning units in the Georgia Dome generate enough power to cool 1,666 homes.
• To supply soft drinks to dispensers, thousands of liquid lines wind
through the stadium. These include 32,952 feet of lines (the length of
109 football fields) to feed liquids to hundreds of dispensers throughout the building.
Also the home venue for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, the Georgia Dome is owned by the state of Georgia and operated by
the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which also operates the Georgia World Congress Center and Centennial
Olympic Park.
Paired with the adjacent 2.5 million-square-foot World Congress Center and the 21 acre Centennial Park, the three facilities comprise one of the largest sports, entertainment and
convention complexes in the world. The Georgia Dome alone
provides arena and stadium configured seating between
20,000 and 80,000 people. The Dome’s football seating capacity is 71,250, including 196 executive suites and 4,600 club
seats
Records Set At The Dome
• Most Passing Yards in the Super Bowl: In one of two Super Bowls
hosted at the Dome, St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner threw
for 414 yards in Super Bowl XXXIV on
January 30, 2000. The Dome also hosted Super Bowl XXVIII (Dallas vs.
Buffalo, 1994).
• Longest Paper Airplane Flight: The level flight duration record for a
hand-launched paper airplane is 27.6 seconds by Ken Blackburn of St.
Louis, on October 8, 1998.
• Dome’s Largest Hot Dog: Sara Lee made a 1,996-foot wiener for the
1996 Olympics that took over 2,000 buns to hold it.
• Fastest Men’s Indoor 400 Meter Race: Michael Johnson won the
400 meter title in 44.63 seconds at the USA Indoor Track and Field
Championships on March 4, 1995.
