*Took home the trophy due to winning the tiebreaker
In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the
Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the
four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University,
University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University.
The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the
other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy
annually since 1972.
In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1
records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the
Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique
Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games.
The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the
2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other
soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross,
the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of
Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of
Honor.
Following the war, York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles

York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York
Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb
Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s
papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee
Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor.
After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the institution with
the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie,
the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the
tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons
without winning the trophy.
The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions which
is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was created in 1999 and salutes amateur
and professional sports in Tennessee.

northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational
opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927, he established the Alvin C. York Institute after
spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was
established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country.
In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The
school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today.

CoachesTennessee State vs. UT Martin (Oct. 10, 2015)
Rod Reed
Head Coach
6th Season
Overall Record: 32-27
OVC Record: 14-16
Reed enters his sixth season at the helm of the Tennessee
State football program, having just turned in his third straight
non-losing season, a feat that had not been done at TSU since
1984-86.
He was named head coach on December 18, 2009 to guide
the TSU program. He served as the associate head coach and
defensive coordinator during the 2009 season.
Reed experienced immediate success as a head coach, leading
the Tigers to a win in his debut game, 27-14, over Alabama
A&M on Sept. 4, 2010 in the John Merritt Classic. He also broke
an eight-game losing streak to Florida A&M, downing the Rattlers, 29-18, in the Atlanta Classic. Reed coached six players to
All-OVC Teams including safety Eugene Clifford who also was
a Sports Network, Phil Steele and BOXTOROW All-American.
The Tigers increased their win total in their second season
under Reed and finished the 2011 season on a hot streak,
winning four of their last six games. The stretch included a,
42-40, upset win at No. 19 ranked Tennessee Tech on Oct. 15.
Reed produced even more All-OVC players in year two, as seven made postseason squads. Two more defenders garnered
All-American honors under Reed’s tutelage in linebacker Rico
Council and Joseph Wylie. He also helped Lamar Divens and
Sidney Tarver ink NFL contracts.
Big Blue continued its success in 2012 by rattling off seven
straight victories to open the season. The Tigers finished the
year with an 8-3 record, its best since 2001. The performance
earned TSU HBCU Program of the Year honors by HBCU Huddle. Several players earned postseason accolades including
running back Trabis Ward who was named to the College
Sports All-American Team after running for 1,460 yards and 15
touchdowns. Three more Tigers were Sheridan All-Americans
including Sherman Carter who signed an NFL deal with fellow
offensive lineman Rogers Gaines following suit.
Reed turned in his finest season to date in 2013, as the Tigers
finished 10-4 and won a FCS Playoff Game for the first time
since 1986. It capped an impressive run in which Reed improved his club’s win total by at least two in each of his first
four campaigns. TSU won its first HBCU National Championship since 1982 and the team’s shutout win over Butler in the

first round of the playoffs was the first victory for the OVC in
postseason play in nearly 30 years. A school record 12 Tigers
were chosen to the league’s all-conference teams at season’s
end and Kadeem Edwards (143rd) and Demetrius Rhaney
(250th) were selected in the NFL Draft.
Last season, Reed’s defense ranked inside the top-10 for the
third straight season. Middle linebacker Nick Thrasher tallied
128 stops on the season, which was sixth-most in a single-season in school history and the highest total for a Tiger
since 1991. Thrasher also moved up to second-place in tackles
in the TSU record book over the course of the season, finishing
with 358. Quarterback Mike German threw for 2,846 yards on
the year, helping him break the 34 year old school-mark with
8,664 career yards.
Reed has coached a total of 22 All-Americans and 49 All-OVC
Players in his five seasons as a head coach and has staked a
32-27 record.
Baptist College (00-03) in his hometown of Marshall, Texas. He
served as defensive coordinator for East Texas Baptist, which
launched its football program during the 2000 season.
The 2002 Texas Baptist defense ranked second in their conference in scoring defense and third in rushing defense. The team
did not allow points in either the first or third periods through
the first eight games in 2002.
Reed is the son of Robert Reed, Jr., an All-America offensive
guard for the Tigers in 1963 and 1964 who later played professionally for the Washington Redskins.
Reed is the university’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes representative and in 2009 he participated in the NCAA Football
Coaches Academy. He and his wife, Tamika, are the parents of
four children, Terry, Takara, Briah, and Marcel.
THE ROD REED FILE
He began coaching at TSU in 2003 and served as the defensive
coordinator and linebackers coach. At the conclusion of the
season in which Reed returned to the TSU sideline, the Tigers
led the OVC in total defense for the first time in school history.
The defense accomplished the same feat in 2008 finishing at
the top of the OVC in total defense.

2015 Game RecapsTennessee State vs. UT Martin (Oct. 10, 2015)
Game 1 • Sept. 6, 2015
Game 2 • Sept. 12, 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee State used a furious fourth quarter comeback to claim a 24-14 victory over
Alabama State in the 17th John Merritt Classic. A crowd of 22,455 showed up to Nissan Stadium for the
Sunday night game.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Tigers opened both halves with a flurry as they secured a 35-25 win over Jackson
State in the 26th Southern Heritage Classic. A crowd of 48,335, largest classic crowd since 2008, witnessed
the fourth consecutive win for Tennessee State over JSU.
Tennessee State (1-0) exploded on both sides of the ball as they outscored the Hornets 21-0 in the final
stanza. The defense helped by forcing four fumbles and a three-and-out, giving the offense opportunities
and great field position.
Tennessee State received the ball after winning the coin toss. O’Shay Ackerman-Carter wasted little time
to team up with Patrick Smith on a 64-yard scoring play on the second play from scrimmage for a 7-0 lead
53 second into the game. From the TSU 36, Ackerman-Carter faked a hand-off and dumped a pass over the
middle to Smith who then outraced the defense to the end zone.

The Tigers broke through for its first touchdown of the game on the third play of the fourth quarter as
O’Shay Ackerman-Carter hit Patrick Smith across the middle for a 19-yard touchdown. It was the first career
touchdown for both players and brought TSU to within four points of ASU at 14-10 with 14:22 remaining
in the contest.
The Tigers would get the ball back less than a minute later as defensive end Latrelle Lee forced the first
fumble of the quarter. TSU would need just three plays to travel 36 yards and took its first lead of the game
17-14 on a 12-yard run by running back Tom Smith.
The Big Blue defense needed just 1:32 to hand the ball back over to the offense as safety Javon Brandon
caused another turnover. The Tigers ate some time off the clock as they extended the lead to 24-14 as running back Telvin Hooks crossed the goal line from five yards out with 6:15 remaining on the clock.
On TSU's second possession, Ackerman-Carter would injury himself after scrambling for seven yards. The
redshirt-quarterback would stay down and exited the game. Junior Ronald Butler entered the game, for
the second consecutive year, due to an injury. In last year’s classic, Butler appeared after Mike German went
out in the second quarter.
On his first play, a third and 18, Butler hit Patrick Smith down the left seam for 50 yards to the JSU 22. After a
personal foul moved the ball to the seven, Telvin Hooks rushed to the end zone one play later for a 14-6 lead.
Ackerman-Carter would return and lead a scoring drive with seven seconds remaining before halftime.
The Jacksonville, Fla. native found a leaping Joshawn Bowens from 10-yards out to make the score 21-9.
The Tigers trailed at halftime 7-3, despite controlling the ball for 21 minutes opposed to two seconds shy
of nine minutes for ASU. During that time the Tigers ran 46 plays for 182 yards, while holding the Hornets
to 142 yards on 21 plays.
In the second half, Patrick Smith made his presence felt on special teams. After a stop by the defense on the
first series of the second half, Smith received a punt and returned it 28 yards to the Tigers 15. TSU again put
the ball in the hands of Hooks who carried three straight times with the final being a two-yard scoring run.
The Big Blue increased its lead to 28-9 with 12:25 remaining in the third quarter.
In the third quarter, Duhart found Lawrence Oliver over the middle for a 52-yard pass play. Two plays later,
the Hornets would find the end zone as Duhart called his own number from a yard out to extend the ASU
lead to 14-3.
With the score 28-12, Ackerman-Carter connected on his third touchdown of the night as he hit Chris Sanders-McCollum. The junior wide out broke free from a tackle and scampered down the left sideline for a
64-yard touchdown and a 35-12 lead.
On the game, the Hornets totaled 314 yards, but amassed 134 on the two big pass plays. The Tiger defense
would hold ASU to 180 yards on 54 plays for the remainder of the game, good for 3.6 yards per play.
Patrick Smith finished the night with 155 all-purpose yards and was named the Southern Heritage Classic
Most Valuable Player.
TSU finished with 330 yards on 81 plays. Ackerman-Carter was 20-37 for 188 yards with an interception and
a touchdown. He also carried the ball nine times for 38 yards and was named Offensive MVP for his efforts.
Ackerman-Carter completed 15 passes on 26 attempts for 250 yards and three touchdowns.

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – The Tennessee State football team had a solid start defensively but the Jacksonville
State offense would gain the upper hand after the first qurater. JSU claimed a 48-13 win on Saturday afternoon in front of 23,413, the largest crowd in Burgess-Snow Field history. The top ranked Gamecocks (2-1)
took control of the game as they outgained TSU (2-1) 576 -208.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Tigers took advantage of good field position to charge back and steal a win over
rival Florida A&M on Saturday night. Tennessee State improved to 3-1 with a 30-14 win over the FAMU (0-4)
in front of 18,020 at Bragg Memorial Stadium.

The defense stood strong on the first Gamecocks possession. After an Eli Jenkins 30-yard run to the TSU 25,
the Big Blue forced a stop three plays later to force a 44-yard field goal attempt, which missed wide right.
On the second play from scrimmage in the second half, the Rattlers' Carson Royal found Kareem Smith for a
46 yard touchdown toss giving FAMU a 14-7 lead with 12:05 remaining in the 3rd quarter. The score seemed
to motivate the Tigers, as they would respond in a big way, by scoring 23 unanswered points.
On JSU’s second series, the defense stepped up again as Ezra Robinson jumped a Jenkins pass at the TSU 17
and returned 83 yards for an apparent touchdown. But two unsportsmanlike penalties nullified the score.
The tide turned when punter Austin Rowley pinned the Rattlers with a 48 yard punt to the 10. The defense
held tight and forced FAMU to punt from their own end zone, creating strong field position for the Tigers.
On the ensuing drive, Ronald Butler entered the game due to an injury to O’Shay Ackerman-Carter, for the
second consecutive week. The redshirt-freshman exited as he took a blow to the head, which resulted in a
targeting infraction versus JSU.
TSU needed six plays to move 47 yards for the game tying score. On third and 15 from the FAMU 38, Ronald
Butler launched a ball towards Dantwaun O’Neal, but a Rattler defender was there to break up the play.
The ball bounded in a fortunate way for the Tigers and into the hands of Patrick Smith in the end zone.
The offense was stymied and was forced to punt, disallowing TSU an opportunity to take advantage of
the turnover.
Rowley came through again on his next attempt. The freshman recorded his shortest punt of the evening at
37 yards, but that's all that he would need for the ball to be downed at the one yard line. Three plays later,
Chris Collins and Latrelle Lee broke through the offensive line and hit the FAMU running back behind the
goal line to record a safety, gaving the Tigers its first lead of the game, 16-14.
Jacksonville State would breakthrough and scored on the final three possessions to take a 21-0 lead into the
break. JSU would add to the advantage with a field goal to open the second half.
The Tigers offense tried to respond in the second half as they attacked the secondary on its first play of the
final 30 minutes. Butler went deep and found Patrick Smith wide open down the right sideline. The wide
out outraced the Gamecock defenders for an 84-yard touchdown.
The play is the sixth longest passing play in school history, just behind an 85-yard pass play from Leon
Murray to Corey Sullivan versus Florida A&M on Sept. 26, 1998.
The touchdown is the fourth of the season for Smith and it is the third play of the season 50-yards or more.
The defense forced a three-and-out on the next JSU series allowing the TSU offense to find its rhythm.
Butler would go to work as he found a new favorite in Isaiah Jeffries-Freeman. On a third and four from
the JSU 45, Butler hit Jeffries-Freeman for 22 yards and a first down. The duo would team up again on the
very next play, this time for a 23-yard touchdown pass. The play would bring the Tigers back within 11 as
the made the score 24-13.
Box Score
(Final)
TSU could not get any closer as the Gamecocks
reeled off
24 consecutive points.
After the safety, TSU received the ball and proceeded to attack the Florida A&M defense. Butler started the
drive by hitting Smith for 10 yards, setting up the longest run of the game, a 27 yard blast up the middle
by Telvin Hooks.
With the Tigers at the Rattlers' 32, Butler went back to Smith for his second touchdown of the game. Smith
nothced his fifth scoring reception of the season as the Tigers extended its lead to 23-14.
Ezra Robinson ended FAMU's hopes with a pass break up on 4th and 9 with 6:40 remaining to give the ball
back to the Tiger offense. TSU sealed the game as they held onto the ball for six minutes as they picked
up an insurance touchdown. Erick Evans capped off the drive with a one yard run to produce the final
outcome, 30-14.
Smith led all receivers in the game with eight catches for 157 yards and two scores. Ronald Butler finished
his homecoming with 238 yards on 17 completions and 30 attempts. The Tallahassee native threw for three
touchdowns as the Tigers outgained FAMU 370 to 201 total yards.
