Everyone is undefeated, everything is new and fresh, and the possibilities for the coming season seem endless. The 2008 West Georgia Wolves are no different. And, for the Wolves, the part about everything being “new” and “fresh” is more than applicable. The Wolves are starting over in 2008. At the helm of West Georgia’s program is first year coach Daryl Dickey. The veteran mentor was named last December to the post, and was given a daunting task: return UWG football to the ranks of contenders in the Gulf South Conference and in NCAA Division II. Will this be an easy job? Hardly, but the new coach doesn’t blink when it comes to answering the question as to whether West Georgia’s program can return to a competitive, possibly dominant level. Dickey took the West Georgia job with no magic wand or potion. Instead of a quick fix, he made a commitment to “do this the right way.” With Dickey, it isn’t just lip service. He wants the building, to use a cliché, to be from the ground up. “We don’t want to be a rollover program,” says the coach, adding, “We want kids who will be here for the long haul.” want to be known “ We as a team that is upbeat, physical, and attacking in nature. And, we will be a disciplined team. We want to play good defense and special teams, then try to score some points. “Yes,” declared Dickey, emphatically. “There is no question that it can be done. This university has the ideal academic environment, social environment, and proximity to Atlanta. And, with the quality of high school football played in this state, I’d say all the ingredients are there.” ” ~Coach Dickey To accomplish that, Dickey knew he needed a top staff to begin the process of mining a deep pool of talent in Georgia high schools. The job is to identify the right players, bring them to Carrollton and keep them here. The building plan is in place. The people to implement the plan are also in place. Now, the question is, what happens on the field in 2008? “We want to be known as a team that is upbeat, physical, and attacking in nature,” says the coach. “And,” he adds, “We will be a disciplined team. We want to play good defense and special teams, then try to score some points.” One thing is very clear: Daryl Dickey is in this for long haul. He’s a competitor and a winner, and his West Georgia Wolves will take on the personality of their head coach. Now a look at the 2008 West Georgia Wolves … 6 West Georgia Wolves THE OUTLOOK squad member A.J. Mitchell (6-2, 217, Fr.) and incoming frosh recruit Randy Sides (6-3, 225). Offense Not a great deal of experience returns on the offensive side of the ball for the 2008 season. Several experienced hands are back at the wide receiver and tailback positions, however experience is very thin up front and at quarterback. Matt Bailey Along the line of scrimmage, center Matt Bailey is the lone holdover. Bailey (6-1, 287, Sr.) was a mainstay up front a year ago, playing through injuries to anchor UWG’s blocking corps. He should be a candidate for post-season honors this season. While Bailey is the clear leader to claim the center spot, competition should be very keen for the other positions along the Wolves’ offensive line. A combination of returning squad members and a large number of very exciting recruits are expected to stage a battle royal to earn playing time at both guards and both tackles. The most intriguing name along the blocking front for the Wolves is that of Patrick Swoopes. A transfer from Division I Alabama-Birmingham, Swoopes is a 6-4, 300-pound junior from Starkville, Miss. He brings excellent size and promise to the battle for one tackle spot. Derek Jones, a redshirt freshman from Gilmer County, was part of the UWG program a year ago. Jones is 6-4, 270, worked hard in the off-season and improved during the spring. Others in the picture at tackle include a host of exciting freshmen. Eric Sheker (6-8, 305), Todd Kidd (6-5, 305) and Sean Beeler (6-5, 290) all have very bright futures. How much action the freshmen get this fall will depend, in part, on how quickly they acclimate themselves to the demands of the college game. The outlook at the guard spots resembles the battle at tackle. Spencer Romero (6-2, 317, So.) and Matt Johnson (6-0, 304, So.) are returning squad members and in the picture. Also, West Alabama transfer Kyle Yates (5-11, 268) is a redshirt freshman who joined Johnson and Romero during spring practice. From the recruiting class, freshman Jimmile Freeman (6-2, 330) is a very promising prospect. So, too, are other freshmen: Jordan Ritchey (6-3, 285), Darius Jackson (6-4, 270) and Shawn Corrigan (6-0, 275). Youngsters behind Bailey at the center spot include sophomore Cody Wood (6-2, 250) and Ukandu Emeonye (6-1, 285). UWG has a pair of lettermen returning at the tight end position. Senior Grant Jones (6-2, 211) and junior Adam White (6-3, 216) lead the charge at the spot. Also contending for duty will be returning On the perimeter, UWG is excited by its collection of promising wide receivers. Several bring experience to the mix; others are young and talented. Seniors Ron Dickson (6-0, 206) and James Crowley (6-2, 203) were mainstays a year ago, while junior Steven Billue (6-2, 190) also saw plenty of playing time. That trio will compete for playing time with plenty of potential candidates. Senior transfer Wilson Kimble (6-3, 180) impressed during spring practice. Sophomore Johnny Pope (6-2, 161), freshman Carl Snapp (6-3, 188) and sophomore Kyle Freeman (5-7, 165) have all been apart of the UWG program. On the incoming freshman side, the Wolves believe they have both quality and quantity. Some of the names to watch include Brandon Clark (6-2, 185), Ely Payne (6-3, 176), James Bull (5-11, 160) and Calvin Dennis (5-10, 175). Also in the mix are Eric Josovitz (5-11, 180), Silas Rogers (5-11, 180), and Andrew Smith (5-11, 180). Ron Dickson Much of Dickey’s preseason focus will be on the quarterback position. Third-year sophomore Sean Gray (6-1, 206) saw very limited playing time a year ago, but he’s the only signal caller on the squad to have ever played in a college game. Gray is expected to battle with redshirt freshman Kyle Padgett (6-2, 224) for the starting job during fall camp. Beyond Gray and Padgett, squad member Chris Hirschfield (6-1, 190, So.) returns to battle. Also at the spot are several incoming freshmen: Bobby Ervin (6-1, 175), Andrew Smith (5-10, 170) and Andrew Mathieson (6-3, 210). An old friend returns to the West Georgia offense in 2008: the fullback position. Battling for the spot is junior Stewart Cook (511, 220), who saw duty at the spot two seasons ago. Also in the hunt are freshman Austin Albany (5-9, 217) and sophomore Eddie Floyd (5-11, 215). The tailback position has several players with limited experience. Junior Joey Harris (5-10, 202) is UWG’s returning rushing leader, having gained 168 yards on 40 carries in 2007. However, Harris suffered an ankle injury in the Wolves’ final spring scrimmage and has worked very hard over the summer to be ready for the season. Yusuf Holloway (5-8, 195, So.) and George Summerset (5-10, 180, So.) gained 103 and 76 yards, respectively, last season. Summerset earned his initial collegiate start in the season finale at archrival Valdosta State. Junior Quentin Roman may also figure in the tailback picture. The Lenoir-Rhyne transfer is a former All-South Atlantic Conference performer from his days with the Bulldogs. Also, juco transfer Dustin Lindsey (6-0, 220, Jr.) is a former Tennessee signee who may figure in Dickey’s plans before the Wolves get deep into the season. Joey Harris West Georgia Wolves 7 THE OUTLOOK Defense Defense was a major struggle for West Georgia in 2007. Opponents shattered the record book as the Wolves surrendered yards and points by the bushel. UWG must improve, quickly and dramatically, for a turnaround in the program’s fortunes in 2008. The Wolves’ top two returning tacklers are both linebackers. Senior Ray Mitchell (5-10, 200) seems entrenched at the strong side, or Sam, backer spot. Michael Reardon (5-11, 211, Jr.) is two-year letterman and plays in the middle. Four returning squad members play behind Mitchell. They include Mitchell Dean (6-2, 235, Jr.), Willie Barnes (6-2, 214, Fr.) Alex Coleman (6-0, 202, Jr.), and Kendricus Matthews (5-11, 211, Fr.). Behind Reardon is a trio of highly regarded newcomers. This group includes John Weatherford (6-1, 213), Nick Popiel (6-3, 220) and Kyle Bowman (6-1, 230). Ray Mitchell The battle for playing time at the Will, or weak side, linebacker spot should also be very spirited. Junior Timothy Gregory (6-2, 235) will be among the contenders, as are returning squad members Marcellus Hunter (6-0, 200, So.) and Andrew Geschke (6-2, 218, So.). Also, frosh recruit Robert Hill (6-0, 195) could develop into a contender for playing time. Along the line, the Wolves’ new four-man front scheme will feature a few holdovers and many new faces. In the middle, senior Brandon Thompson (5-10, 233) will contend for snaps at the tackle post. Other candidates there include squad member Chandler Weatherby (5-11, 291, Fr.) and a pair of incoming freshman recruits: Juan Pickett (6-1, 270) and Dante Reid (6-2, 240). Newcomers are also expected to dominate the battle for the job at the nose position. Prep signees Terrance Turman (6-1, 295) and Willie Pitts (6-2, 290) bring lots of promise and great size to Michael Reardon the UWG program. Others who may be in the picture include James White (6-0, 260, So.) and Gregory Rodriguez (6-3, 290, Fr.). The end positions are like the rest of the defense: a mix of the young prospects with a sprinkling of holdovers. Most of the latter have limited experience. Seniors Nick Hensley (6-1, 216) and Kelvin Ferrell (6-5, 235) are both three-year lettermen and have started games. Beyond them, however, none of the remaining end contenders has played the position at the collegiate level. Other candidates for playing time on the outside include redshirt freshman Duke Banks (6-3, 218), sophomore Brendan Nestor 8 West Georgia Wolves (6-5, 240), sophomore James White (6-0, 260), sophomore Brett Collier (6-3, 224), and junior Joshua Mitchell (6-2, 241). All have been part of the UWG program and were part of the off-season program and spring drills. Newcomers may also figure in the fight for time at defensive end. Candidates include Darrius Wilborn (6-0, 265, Fr.) and Rene Leon (6-0, 220, So.). In the secondary, UWG returns twoyear regular Marcus Wise (5-9, 168, Sr.) at one corner. Sophomores Waylon Kimble (5-10, 170) and Dwate Strickland (6-1, 187) are also contenders to see plenty of action at the corner spots. Others in the debate include redshirt freshman Dontavious Smith (6-0, 175), and incoming freshmen Tre Hudson (5-10, 165), and Brandon Larkin (5-11, 180). Sophomore letterman Wymon Kelley Marcus Wise (5-11, 186) is among the top contenders to win the job at the rover position. Transfer Gregory Carson (6-0, 190), frosh recruit James McGee (5-10, 178) and newcomer Eddie Brown (5-11, 180) are also at the position. At free safety, sophomore Braxton Foster (5-10, 180) came through spring practice as a top contender for the job. Other names in the mix include incoming freshmen Will Jones (6-1, 205) and Justin Beard (6-1, 200), returning squad member Nicholas Pavao (6-0, 165, So.) and redshirt freshman Seth Satterfield (6-1, 205, Fr.). Specialists Special teams a year ago at West Georgia were a mixed bag. With Jared Guberman (5-9, 197) the Wolves had a very good punter and a superb kicker. Guberman was among the nation’s most accurate field goal specialists, missing only twice en route to winning All-GSC, All-Southeast Region and All-America honors. If one talented placement specialist wasn’t enough, the Wolves this summer welcomed back Adi Brkic (6-4, 190, So.) to the program. As a freshman in 1995, Brkic kicked three field goals of over 50 yards, including a 54-yard boot to set a new school record. His range, especially on kickoffs, could be a factor this fall. Jared Guberman Beyond the kickers, UWG also returns a very reliable long snap specialist. Junior Micah Hurst (6-3, 200) has handled the job well the last two seasons, and is an excellent athlete on punt coverage. Good kicking games, however, require more than just good kicking, punting and snapping. In other areas, UWG’s special teams a year ago were, to be charitable, abysmal. Kickoff and punt coverage was too often exploited, the return game was generally unproductive, and the team was far too vulnerable to having punts blocked. THE OUTLOOK Beyond identifying the return specialists, much of preseason will be devoted to an emphasis on special teams. An old football theory says that the quickest equalizer for a young and building football team is a top flight kicking game. Dickey doesn’t dispute that theory. Coaching Staff A mix of youth and experience will be alongside Dickey for the 2008 football season. A veteran coach with excellent connections, the Wolves’ new boss assembled an outstanding cast of teachers, recruiters and strategists to help lead UWG football back to its rightful place. Offensively, veteran Jeff Fela will tutor the offensive line and will serve as offensive coordinator. Fela had previously worked with Dickey at Presbyterian, and the Wolves’ boss has tremendous confidence in Fela’s abilities. Also on the offensive side, Lamont Seward will handle UWG’s wide receivers and help coordinate the team’s academic support program. A pair of promising graduate assistants will also work with the offense. Ryan Locke will work with the fullbacks and tight ends, while Chad Pickett handles the tailbacks. Dickey will serve as his own quarterback coach. On the defensive side, James Colzie joins the staff as defensive coordinator and will tutor the secondary. Colzie, a former Florida State star, last season coached defensive backs and coordinated special teams at rival and Division II champ Valdosta State. Russell Rothar, a former Presbyterian star, is UWG’s linebacker coach. Rothar was recruited by and played for Dickey at PC. Louis LeBlanc is UWG’s defensive line coach. Also, the former Alabama aide serves as the Wolves’ recruiting coordinator. Also working on the defensive side for UWG are grad assistants Charlie Wilburn (defensive line and recruiting) and Robert Walden (secondary). Also, Dave Ware returns to work with the kicking and punting specialists. A week later, the Wolves return to a Carrollton, but in a new venue: Richards Stadium at Central High School. UWG faces SIAC and state rival Clark Atlanta at Richards, a move necessitated by the rebuilding of Grisham Stadium. UWG begins league play in Week 3, heading to Arkadelphia, Ark., for a date with Ouachita Baptist. Next, the Wolves are in Carrollton for their debut on Grisham’s new rug vs. North Alabama. Following an open date, the Wolves begin their October slate with a visit from Henderson State. After the Reddies come to call, UWG will travel to Arkansas-Monticello, welcome Arkansas Tech to town for Homecoming, and then provide the Homecoming opponent for West Alabama a week later in Livingston. The season’s final two weeks as challenging as possible. First, UWG travels to Cleveland Field for a Thursday night TV game with Valdosta State. This marks the first time since 1994 that the Blazers have not provided the opposition for West Georgia’s regular season finale. That comes nine days later, in Carrollton, when the Delta State Statesmen visit Grisham Stadium. Overview The road back to respectability, contention, and championships won’t be an easy for the West Georgia Wolves. However, it is clear to all that this program has taken the first steps. A quality coaching staff, a roster of hard-working and positive attitude players has already helped lay the first level of foundation. How will this translate into the won-loss record in 2008? No one knows. However, the promise for a very bright future for West Georgia Wolves football is very much real. Schedule A football team that plays in the Gulf South Conference is guaranteed a rugged schedule. The GSC is the deepest, most demanding NCAA Division II league in the nation. Not only does no conference go deeper in quality teams, the excellence of the league’s top programs is unquestioned. Valdosta State is the defending national champion, while North Alabama and Delta State were clearly among the nation’s top five teams is season ago. UWG plays them all in 2008, though not in succession as the end of the schedule, which was the case the past two years. The Wolves open the season with a pair of non-conference game. First is a visit to Birmingham, Ala., for a date with Division I-FCS Samford. The game marks the first meeting with the Bulldogs since the 1992 season opener.

Certainly, few coaches anywhere can boast of the pedigree, experience, and record of excellence to compare with Dickey. Also, as he begins his reclamation project at UWG, it’s worth noting that this won’t be the first time Dickey has undertaken the challenge of breathing life into a once-proud football program. In 1997 Dickey entered as the new head football coach at Presbyterian. His first Blue Hose team came home with a mark of 5-6. By his fourth season on the job Presbyterian was posting a mark of 8-2, and shattering offensive records in the process. The 8-2 record posted by PC in 2000 was the school’s best record in over two decades. Their two-year aggregate record of 15-6 was the best for back-to-back Blue Hose seasons since the 1978 and 79 seasons. Following the 2000 campaign Dickey was on his way to Florida State to begin a six-year stint as quarterbacks coach for Bobby Bowden’s Seminoles. More success and huge offensive numbers again resulted. Florida State won three Atlantic Coast Conference titles; two of his quarterbacks were named ACC Freshmen of the Year. Winning was part of Dickey’s makeup long before his coaching career began. As a player at the University of Tennessee it was Dickey who guided the Volunteers to the 1985 Southeastern Conference title. And, it was the Wolves’ newest boss who stunned the college football world when he took home MVP honors from the 1986 Sugar Bowl the Tennessee administered a stunning 35-7 beat down over highly favored Miami. Then, there is the pedigree. Daryl Dickey grew up at the knee of his legendary dad, Doug Dickey. He saw his dad guide the Tennessee Vols and Florida Gators as the two most notable stops of a brilliant coaching career. Later, the elder Dickey also gained notoriety when he returned to Tennessee as a highly successful athletic director. In between wearing the orange jersey in Neyland Stadium and his last two coaching stops, Dickey worked with success at 36 West Georgia Wolves a variety of stops. He worked as both a G.A. and assistant at Tennessee, coached the quarterbacks in 1989 at Florida State, and was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at both Kentucky and Georgia Southern. When it comes to college football in the south, the name Dickey stands for winning. West Georgia fans believe that the road to returning the Wolves’ program to the ranks of GSC and Division II contenders took on a straighter course the day Daryl Dickey said “yes” to the offer of becoming West Georgia’s head football coach. Beyond his football accomplishments at Tennessee, Dickey also earned his B.A. in Sociology from the Knoxville institution. He is married to the former Kendall George. The Dickeys have three children: daughter Karis and sons Dallas James and Drew. THE DICKEY FILE PERSONAL Full Name – Daryl R.

OPPONENTS GULF SOUTH CONFERENCE A Academic excellence, 43 National Championships and a leadership role in the NCAA’s Division II make the Gulf South Conference (GSC) something special. As a charter member of D-II, the league’s 15 universities in six southeastern states enters its 39th year of setting the standards nationally, always breaking new ground. In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to talk about athletics; when the meeting ended, a new league emergedthe Mid-South Conference-started by, and to this day run by, the CEOs, the first in NCAA history. It is that CEO-control and involvement that makes the league work and its 14 championships (football; men’s & women’s cross country, men’s & women’s soccer; volleyball, men’s & women’s basketball, men’s & women’s tennis, men’s & women’s golf; softball and baseball) so bitterly contested in a collegial manner. From that point forward, the GSC has been giant steps ahead of the D-II pack. Dating back to 1997, the league has found neutral sites paying sizeable guarantees for most of its team championships. NCAA Conventions regularly feature GSC-proposed or -inspired legislation. No one wins more regionals or earns more NCAA post-season bids. In 2004, the league purchased its own new construction office space. But the crowning moment came in 2005-06, when the GSC debuted its highly successful “GSC-TV Live” package which included nine football games (now 10) and its men’s & women’s basketball tournament finals. Add to that its web-TV show, “GSC Sports Weekly,” and the broadbanding of most of its championships and you can see why the GSC is a Conference paving the way into the 21st century. We take pride in our 43 National Team Championships in 12 sports and more than 100 regional titles, especially because there is no sacrifice on the academic side, where GSC student-athletes regularly earn Academic All-America. The Conference added two more Titles in 2007- 08 with Valdosta State claiming the Football crown and West Florida winning the Men’s Golf trophy in a playoff versus fellow league member North Alabama. Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Jacksonville State, Livingston (now West Alabama), Tennessee-Martin and Troy State were the charter members. Scheduling problems for the 1970-71 academic year limited the GSC to football, won by Jacksonville State. In 1971, the addition of Southeast Louisiana (SELA) and Nichols State increased the membership to eight. The league opened an office in Hammond, LA, changed its name to the Gulf South Conference and began championships in nine men’s sports. Mississippi College and Northwestern Louisiana (NWLA, now Northwestern State) joined in 1972 and two years later, NELA left for Division I with SELA and Nicholls State following in 1979. The conference continued with seven teams until 1981, when the CEOs admitted Valdosta State, followed by West Georgia (1983). In 1991, Tennessee-Martin and Troy State went Division 44 West Georgia Wolves I, briefly dropping the GSC back to seven members. An aggressive expansion under the guidence of new Commissioner Nate Salant resulted in ten new members: Lincoln Memorial (199293); Alabama-Huntsville, Henderson State, Central Arkansas and Mississippi University for Women (1993-94); West Florida (1994-95); and Arkansas-Monticello, Arkansas Tech, Montevallo and Southern Arkansas (1995-96). Jacksonville State went Division I at the end of 1992-93. Mississippi College dropped to Division III at the end of 1995-96, and was replaced by Christian Brothers to keep the Conference at 16 schools. In July 2000, the GSC welcomed Harding University and Ouachita Baptist University, making it the largest NCAA conference at any level with 18 schools. MUW dropped its athletics program at the end of the 2002-03 season, decreasing the membership to 17. The Conference decreased to 15 teams in 2006-07 when Central Arkansas moved to Division I and Lincoln Memorial moved to the South Atlantic Conference. Former Commissioner Jim McCullough brought the GSC office to Birmingham. Current Commissioner, Nate Salant began his tenure in October, 1992. He is assisted by Assistant Commissioner for Media and Public Affairs Michael Anderson, Assistant Sports Information Directors Michael Banks and Eric SanInocencio and Senior Woman Administrator Andrea Anderson. The Chairman of the GSC Board of Directors is Dr. David Rankin (Southern Arkansas). Joining him on the executive committee are Vice Chair Dr. Beheruz Sethna (West Georgia) and past-Chair Dr. Robert Brown (Arkansas Tech). The Supervisors of Officials are Bill Johnson (Football), John Caldwell (Basketball-West Division) and Mike Murphy (Basketball-East Division).

REVIEW 2007 YEAR IN REVIEW F For a campaign that began with such high hopes, the 2007 football season was a major low point for the West Georgia Wolves. From the giddiness of an opening day road win, the Wolves ended the year with a mark of but 2-9. The season’s biggest highlights were the two victories. UWG whipped Clark Atlanta on the Panthers’ home turf to open the year a t 1-0. Victory number two, however, didn’t happen until the season’s seventh game as the Wolves vanquished West Alabama on a last second field goal. There were also weeks when UWG acquitted itself well against top competition. The problem was sustaining the execution for 60 full minutes. For 30 minutes UWG was leading Division I-FCS Georgia Southern, for three quarters the Wolves were eyeball-to-eyeball with Henderson State. However, the numbers game caught up with UWG on these, and other occasions. Individually, Jared Guberman was the most prominent of the Wolves in 2007. The junior specialist from Boca Raton, Fla., turned in an impressive season as both a kicker and punter. He connected on 15-of-17 field goals and 22-of-25 points after touchdown. Also, he punted 73 times for a 38.6-yard average, including 13 fair catches and 23 punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

This was one was no different for the West Georgia Wolves as they traveled to Atlanta for a date with the Clark-Atlanta Panthers. UWG was hoping its newly re-tooled offensive attack could catch CAU and their loaded defensive unit off-balance, at least enough to secure a win on the sun-baked Astroturf of Panther Stadium. Mission accomplished, though the 23-11 win didn’t come without a few anxious moments. After jumping to an early, 13-0 lead, the Wolves didn’t put this one away until Keats Baldwin connected on a fourth quarter TD strike to Jimmy Howard. It was the second of the day for the duo, and provided UWG with its final margin. Beyond the Baldwin-to-Howard combination, the Wolves also got solid special teams play. Transfer Jared Guberman made his West Georgia debut a memorable one by hitting on three-of-three field goal attempts, converting both PAT kicks, and punting for a 46.3 yards per kick average. The Wolves departed a stadium better known as the setting for the movie DrumLine with a new foundation for optimism and a record of 1-0.

It was UWG’s first visit in 13 years to Paulson Stadium, the scene of arguably the most stirring win in the program’s history, and easily the biggest victory ever for a West Georgia football team. And, for 30 minutes, this one had a bit of that 1994 feel to it. UWG raced to a 21-10 halftime lead in front of 21,489 fans, the largest crowd to ever witness a West Georgia football game. However, college football games are 60-minute affairs, as Georgia Southern reminded the Wolves with five unanswered touchdowns en route to a 45-21 decision. Southern, making its debut under new coach Chris Hatcher, struck first when Jayson Foster rambled 54 yards for a score on the game’s opening possession. However, UWG answered quickly with a four-yard scoring run by James Kennebrew on the Wolves’ first possession of the night. After an Eagles field goal, UWG answered with a pair of second quarter touchdowns. First, Keats Baldwin connected with Daniel Johnson on a seven-yard score. Later, Baldwin scrambled in from 11 yards out for the 11-point halftime margin. The second half, unfortunately, was a track meet with Foster running both the opening and anchor legs. GSU’s diminutive quarterback sprinted 56 yards for a third quarter TD to cut the Wolves’ lead to 21-17. Zeke 2007 YEAR IN REVIEW Rozier then burst 41 yards for a late, third quarter scored to give the Eagles the lead for good. In the final period GSC added three more touchdowns. Rozier and Foster ran for one apiece, and Foster hooked up with Michael McIntosh for an 81-yard throw-and-catch. Though the game was a loss, UWG came out of its trip to Georgia Southern with some positives. Despite having 30 fewer scholarships, the Wolves play eyeball-to-eyeball with Southern for three quarters. To do it in front of a large, hostile crowd in the first game of the Hatcher Era at Southern gave West Georgia hope for better things the remainder of the season.

In their 2007 GSC and home opener, unfortunately, the Wolves faced an Arkansas Tech team that was clicking for 60 full minutes. The result was a 52-34 shootout with the Wonder Boys claiming the victory. The defeat spoiled an excellent night for the UWG offense. However, they couldn’t keep up the passing onslaught of Tech’s Cole Barthel and his six TD passes. The Wolves kept pace for much of the game. Trailing but 31-24 late in the third quarter, UWG had its golden opportunity. Wes Myers pounced on a Tech fumble on the eight, setting up the Wolves with a first-and-goal. A three-yard gain, a three-yard loss, and a third-down sack resulted in Jared Guberman hitting a 27-yard field goal to cut the deficit to but four, 31-27. Arkansas Tech was in total control the rest of the way. Barthel ran for a 39-yard score, and then threw TD passes five-and-six. A Ryan Poole scoring pass to Justin Poole gave the Wolves their final score in the game’s last minute.

Sometimes the score of a football game doesn’t accurately reflect what happened on the field. Unfortunately, this was not such a game. The Newberry Indians handed the West Georgia Wolves the most one-sided beating in UWG’s 27-year modern football history. Newberry, the defending South Atlantic Conference champs, took control of this game early and never let up. They dominated at the line of scrimmage with a power running game that set the tone for the night. Newberry’s first three scoring drives covered 80, 87 and 68 yards, almost exclusively on the ground. The Indians also excelled on special teams, dominating the kicking game with a pair of long touchdown returns. Offensively, UWG moved the ball well at times, but losing three fumbles and giving up a pair of pass interceptions prevented the Wolves from joining Newberry in a shootout.

This Homecoming game vs. Henderson State was a perfect example. UWG came into this one at 1-3 and licking its wounds following the previous week’s debacle at Newberry. Henderson State, meanwhile, boasted of one of the Gulf South Conference’s top programs, despite its tough loss at the hands of powerhouse Delta State. For three quarters the smell of upset was in the air. However, the final 15 minutes belonged to the Reddies. HSU scored 27 unanswered points in the final period to spoil homecoming with a 37-17 decision. The game’s first half was perhaps UWG’s top defensive performance of the season. The Wolves held Henderson’s attack to but a field goal, five first downs, and but 79 total yards. However, UWG still trailed thanks to, again, poor special teams play. A 72-yard punt return by Greg Godfrey allowed HSU to carry a 10-7 lead into halftime. The third quarter belonged to the Wolves. Keats Baldwin gave West Georgia the lead with a 49-yard scoring pass to Jimmy Howard on the first 2007 YEAR IN REVIEW play of the period. Later in the quarter the Wolves drove to the Henderson State seven, setting up a Jared Guberman field goal from 24 yards and a 17-10 lead with 2:37 left in the third. From that point, Henderson State took total control. The Reddies tied the game with a six-play, 68-yard scoring drive that ended with a TD on the first play of the fourth quarter. UWG then drove to midfield and was held on a curious fourth-and-one attempt, turning the ball over to the Reddies at the 50. From there, it took Henderson State only three plays to claim the lead. Roch Charpentier passed 25 yards to Godfrey to claim a 24-17 lead. Two more Reddies touchdowns later in the period accounted for the final margin.

First, the West Georgia Wolves found themselves saddled with the invidious task of making a mid-week bus ride to Arkansas. That’s never an easy task, especially when you’re making the trip saddled with a four-game losing. And, coming off an epic-but-losing effort the week before at Homecoming with Henderson, it was fair to wonder just how much the Wolves had left in them. Add one more factor to the mix: the venue and the opponent. No West Georgia team had ever won a game in First Security Stadium. On this night the Harding Bisons’ offensive unit made certain that UWG’s all-time record in First Security Stadium remained winless. Harding exploded for 47 points over the first three quarters in a 49-31 win over the Wolves. The Bisons posted 548 yards offense, netted 31 first downs, and quarterback David Knighton threw for five touchdowns. West Georgia did its best to hang in the game offensively. Quarterback Ryan Poole completed 31-of-49 for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and no interception. All three of the TD passes went to Jimmy Howard, equaling a school record last set by Ron Dixon in the 1996 win over Valdosta State. However, the rushing game again struggled with only 66 net yards, and the Wolves lost four fumbles. The defeat dropped West Georgia to 1-5 on the season, 0-3 in Gulf South Conference play.

However, this team also had its strengths. The most tangible of those was quarterback Ryan Poole throwing to a bevy of good receivers. The intangible was a good attitude. No matter the adversity and no matter the numbers on the scoreboard, this team played hard. This victory over West Alabama was ample evidence of all of the above. First, Poole was brilliant. The senior from Hartwell netted GSC Player of the Week honors for his performance vs. West Alabama, completing 32of-47 for 367 yards and four touchdowns to four difference receivers. The Wolves needed every bit of it, too, in coming from an early, 13-point deficit to claim their first win since the season opener vs. Clark Atlanta. West Alabama jumped into seeming control early in this one. The Tigers had two long field goal drives on their fist two possessions, then missed a short field goal following their third. That miss was to be a predictor of 62 West Georgia Wolves Score by Quarters West Alabama West Georgia 1 6 0 2 14 14 3 8 7 4 0 9 Score 28 30 Scoring Summary: Receiving Wolves: Howard, 6-125 yds, 3 TD; Bisons: Briggs, 5-78 yds, 1 TD Offense – James Crowley Defense – None things to come later in the day for the visitors. UWA pushed its lead to 13-0 in the second quarter, driving 63 yards in nine plays for a TD on a James Reiter-to-Dwiuan White pass. With the Wolves’ recent history, even their most optimistic of fans feared yet another blowout was about to take place. Those fears were erased on UWG’s next possession, a our-play, 70-yard scoring drive. Poole hit Jimmy Howard on a 32-yard scoring strike for the TD, and UWG was back into the game. One drive later, they were more than that as Poole and Ron Dickson connected on a six-yard touchdown strike and a 14-13 lead with 1:57 to play in the half. Unfortunately, West Alabama didn’t stay down long. A 12-play, 63-yard drive that took only 1:46 put the Tigers on top with a Tyrone Tomlin sixyard scoring run. That gave UWA a 20-14, halftime advantage. After swapping third quarter touchdowns, the Tigers carried a 28-21 lead into the final period. UWG whittled into the margin midway in the period when James Crowley hauled in Poole’s 11-yard scoring pass. However, there was yet another special teams breakdown when Jared Guberman saw his PAT attempt blocked. Special teams breakdowns, however, were not limited to West Georgia. Nursing a one point lead, West Alabama drove 10 plays to the Wolves’ eight yard line, from where Mitch Warfield missed a third consecutive field goal attempt. UWG had life with the ball at the 20 and 3:59 to play. Poole was brilliant. He completed six consecutive passes, a string that sandwiched his scramble for a first down. The drive’s big play came on a fourth-and-one from the UWA 46, a 36-yard throw-and-catch with Patrick Higgins that moved the ball to the Tigers’ 10. Three running plays and a couple of West Alabama timeouts left the ball on the four with 53 seconds to play, and from there Guberman was automatic to give the Wolves a 3028 lead. West Alabama moved the ball to the Wolves’ 43, but Steve Cenatus sacked Reiter on the game’s final play to preserve West Georgia second, and final win of the 2007 season.

It’s a risky practice and far more often-than-not it’s a practice that comes back to bite a team in rump. The West Georgia Wolves learned that lesson in painful fashion in their home finale for the 2008 season. UWG found itself up 19-14 following a third quarter TD run by James Kennebrew. The Wolves then eschewed the almost certain PAT kick, opting instead for a two-point conversion attempt that, predictably, failed. That point looked awfully big about one hour later. Jared Guberman drilled a 44-yard field goal on the final play of regulation that should have been the game winner. Instead, it tied the game at 29-29 and sent West Georgia and Arkansas-Monticello into overtime for the second straight season. Unlike 2006 when West Georgia got its only win of the season with a double OT win in Monticello; this one went to the Boll Weevils. UAM’s Johnny Polite bolted over from three yards out to hand his team a 35-32, overtime win. Despite the loss, Ryan Poole again turned in a monster offensive game. He completed 35-of-59 for 388 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Both scoring strikes went to Jimmy Howard, who caught six passes for 163 yards. Defensively, however, wasn’t as pretty. The Boll Weevils pounded out an obscene 34 first downs and 489 rushing yards. John L. Williams paced the onslaught with 275 yards on 31 carries, including three touchdowns. Williams’ 275 yards rushing was the most ever surrendered by a West Georgia defense, breaking a 15-year old school record set by Surkano Edwards of Samford in the 1992 season opener.

The Wolves were coming off a devastating overtime setback to Arkansas-Monticello, while DSU was locked in a fierce, three-way battle for the Gulf South Conference title, and to battle for a berth in the NCAA Playoffs. Despite all the above, this one was a game for a half. West Georgia turned in perhaps its most impressive defensive effort of the season during the game’s first 30 minutes. They held the very explosive Statesmen to but 43 yards rushing and seven first downs over the game’s first 30 minutes. Still, the Wolves trailed at intermission, 14-9. Jeremy Ricks was the big reason for the Statesmen’s halftime lead. First, he capitalized on yet another special teams breakdown to return the opening kickoff 92 yards for a TD. Then, late in the second quarter, he combined with Garrett Dewitt on a 66-yard throw-and-catch to give Delta State their halftime lead. The Wolves’ points came early. After missing a field goal on their first possession, UWG cashed in on their next. A Ty Morrell pass interception set up the attack from the Statesmen 30, and three plays later Ryan Poole connected with Daniel Johnson on a 23-yard touchdown pass. Later in the period Wes Myers forced a DSU fumble, setting up a Jared Guberman field goal from 28 yards out to give the Wolves a 9-7 lead. After intermission, it was all Delta State. Robert Watts picked off a Poole aerial on the half ’s second play, setting up a Dedrick Wilson touchdown run to give the Statesmen a 21-9 lead. Wilson and Ricks later ran for scores, while Dewitt passed to Eric Marshall for a fourth quarter TD to account for the day’s final margin.

Three in a row on the road is tough enough, but UWG was forced to close against three of the nation’s elite power teams: Delta State, North Alabama and Valdosta State. The sandwich game of this unenviable triumvirate was this trip to Florence’s Braly Municipal Stadium for a date with the Lions. Just one week after playing admirably against the Statesmen, UWG had little left to throw at UNA. It showed on the scoreboard. This one got off to a bit of a comical start as the first three snaps from scrimmage results in three turnovers. The comedy of errors began when the Lions’ Eric Denson picked off a Ryan Poole pass. UWG’s Marcus Wise returned the favor by picking off A.J. Milwee in the end zone on UNA’s first snap. Unfortunately, James Kennebrew fumbled on the very next play, with Michael Johnson recovering on the 22. After a false start penalty, UNA decided the turnover parade was over as they launched a five-play scoring drive that ended with the first-of-three David McCants touchdown runs and a 7-0 lead. The McCants TD began a scoring parade that never stopped. UNA scored 10 in the first period, 13 in the second, 14 in the third quarter, and 28 in the final period. It all ended with a final total of 65, the most ever surrendered by a West Georgia team in the program’s modern history.

From there, Jared Guberman booted a 19-yard field goal against his former team, cutting UWG’s halftime deficit to but 14-10. Unfortunately, it took the Blazers almost no time to flex their muscles in the second half. Ronnye Nelson bolted 55 yards for a score and a 21-10 Valdosta State lead on the first possession of the period. Next came something as predictable as the autumn leaves: a special teams breakdown by West Georgia resulting in points for Valdosta State. Eric Williams blocked a Wolves punt, which Maurice Leggett recovered in the end zone for the score that effectively ended any doubt remaining as to the eventual outcome. A Willie Copeland-to-Cedric Jones TD pass in the final period provided the final margin. With the defeat, West Georgia ended its season at 2-9.

Beyond the brutal stretch of close with three straight road games against a trio of national powers, with the toughest one last, the entire 2007 season had evolved into a death march for the West Georgia Wolves. UWG was a woefully undermanned football team against most opponents this season. Yet, this was a team with good character, and it showed week after week. Despite the losses, and despite the inevitable, this team battled hard and tried to give itself a chance to compete. The season finale vs. archrival Valdosta State was no different. Though the Blazers took an early, 7-0 lead, West Georgia hung in this thing for a lot longer than many would expect against the eventual national champs. West Georgia’s first challenge came late in the first and early in the second quarter. A 15-play, 80-yard drive ended at the VSU 13 with a missed field goal. However, Wes Myers both forced and recovered a Valdosta State fumble to set UWG up on the opponent’s 45.

Delta State vs. West Georgia (10/27/07) RECORDS UWG FOOTBALL… FROM A TO Z This year’s edition of UWG Football A-to-Z is a two-fold celebration. As UWG football enters a new and exciting era, we’ll look forward to the Wolves’ first season under the direction of new coach Daryl Dickey. Also, the 2008 season marks the 10th anniversary of the most improbable of West Georgia’s three Gulf South Conference title team. Though UWG’s championship squads weren’t preseason league favorites in 1997 or 2000, they were ranked among the league’s top squads and were nationally ranked at the seasons’ outset. The 1998 season was a far different story. Under first year head coach Glenn Spencer, West Georgia was picked sixth in the annual GSC preseason poll. One GSC head coach thought so little of the Braves that he picked them last. UWG was armed with a chip on its shoulder, not to mention good players and good coaching, and a huge dose of self-confidence. “We’ll win one or two (tough) games just because these guys think they’re supposed to,” said Spencer, prior to the season. The 1998 West Georgia Braves won 10 games; some tough and some were blowouts. They also won a ring, always a good way to garner a measure of respect. A – Anderson, Matt: His numbers weren’t overwhelming, not unusual for a tight end, but this Division I (Troy State) transfer was a key offensive contributor to the Braves’ title run. Though the Marietta native was best known for his blocking prowess, Anderson caught 11 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. That score, a 22-yard strike vs. Delta State, earned Anderson the team’s top offensive honors for the game vs. the Statesmen. B – Blocked Punt: Special teams excellence was a given for West Georgia football in the 90s, and the 1998 season was no exception. The most memorable special teams play of that, or perhaps any other UWG season, came on a sweltering October evening in Grisham Stadium vs. powerhouse North Alabama. With the Braves up 3-0 last in the first period, UNA All-America Tony Faggioni had a punt taken off his foot, literally, by West Georgia’s Anthony Johnson. The backup wide receiver never broke stride on his 30-yard sprint to the end zone. Johnson’s play was huge as West Georgia prevailed in a 24-17 decision. C – Cooper, Vinson: Talk about your impact transfers! This Savannah native was all that, and more, for the Braves’ in 1998. Cooper, who signed out of high school with South Carolina, came to UWG from the junior college ranks and made an impact from the first snap. He earned All-America, All-South Region and All-GSC honors while leading the team with eight sacks and 15 tackles for loss. He was the Braves’ defensive player of the game vs. Mars Hill and North Alabama. In the latter, Cooper was also GSC Defensive Player of the Week as his dramatic stop on a fourth-and-goal in the final seconds preserved a West Georgia win. D – Dickerson, J.D.: There was more than one impact transfer on UWG’s record setting 1998 defensive unit. Among three who earned post-season honors was this Wrightsville native who came to Carrollton from Georgia Southern. Dickerson was All-GSC Second Team after leading the Braves with 110 tackles from his strong safety position. He was also named GSC Defensive Player of the Week and was presented the game ball for his performance in a key road win at Central Arkansas. E – Eagles: The moniker of an old nemesis that, for the third time in four seasons, ended West Georgia’s season in the NCAA Playoffs. The Carson-Newman Eagles stopped the Braves, 30-20, in Jefferson City, Tenn. Unlike their previous visit to Burke-Tarr Stadium two 82 West Georgia Wolves seasons earlier, West Georgia put up quite a battle in this one. Jeremy Clements threw for 297 yards, including scoring strikes to Roscoe Pounds and Anthony Johnson. However, the Eagles’ veer-option attack was more than UWG could overcome in a loss that ended a 10-2 season. F – Farias, Robert: Championship teams feature big-time players making big-time plays. Coaches call them difference makers. However, there are always times when an unsung hero is required to step forward in a vital situation. Enter this junior quarterback from Riverside, Calif. Farias had been the Braves’ opening night starter under center, but lost his job when Clements led UWG to an overtime win over Presbyterian. But, when a head blow knocked Clements out in the fourth quarter vs. North Alabama, Farias entered to rescue the day. He led an eight-play, 85-yard drive for the Braves’ game-winning score. G – Grace, Oyemon: West Georgia’s list of all-time All-America players includes this gifted linebacker from Warner Robins. Grace earned the honor in 1999, but his performance during the ’98 title run was more than exemplary. The former AJC player of the year had 68 tackles, including five for loss, as part of a trio of linebackers (Grace, Casey Pennone and Matt Mosley) that ranks among the finest units in school history. Also, his fourth quarter blocked punt provided the points that sealed UWG’s 26-13 win over Valdosta State to clinch the GSC title. H – Hill, Twuan: Though his season was cut short by injury, this talented wide receiver from New Smyrna Beach, Fla., was a top weapon for the Braves’ attack in 1998. Hill’s biggest moment came in UWG’s victory in Conway vs. Central Arkansas. He was on the receiving end of a 72-yard scoring pass from Pounds for the tying score as the Braves erased an early, 14-0 deficit. UWG won the game, 35-21. I – Ivie, Steve: Few players contributed in more different ways than did this Lithonia native during his UWG career. Ivie, the son of former major league star Mike Ivie, came to West Georgia as a quarterback. The combination of injuries and Ivie’s athleticism resulted in him playing a variety of positions. His biggest moment, however, came in the regular season finale vs. Valdosta State. His 41-yard, fourth quarter TD scamper with a screen pass gave the Braves a 10-point lead, and some breathing room, in a win over the Blazers. J – Jam: A synonym for predicament, a jam is what the Braves found themselves in during their late October trip to Delta State. West Georgia entered the game against the powerful Statesmen shorthanded, after several key players were left home due to disciplinary reasons. And, this was not the venue or the opponent to have bullets missing from the gun. The Statesmen put three early scores on the board, then coasted home to a 34-10 win, handing UWG their only regular season loss. K – Kincaid, David: You had to love a player who shows up for the first day of preseason camp with a pet snake. A North Carolina native, Kincaid (without his ophidian) was a top special teams star during the Braves’ title run. The reserve tight end, who was an outstanding blocker, was twice named UWG’s special teams player of the week: vs. Central Arkansas and Carson-Newman in ’98. L – Lithia Springs: The hometown of UWG’s first year head coach, Glenn Spencer. After spending eight years on the staff, minus a two-week sojourn to Gardner-Webb, Spencer was elevated to the head coach job in March, following the departure of Charlie Fisher to a post on the staff at North Carolina State. In three seasons as the UWG FOOTBALL… FROM A TO Z Braves’ coach, Spencer led his teams to two GSC titles, two NCAA playoff appearances, and a record of 28-7. M – Mosely, Matt: Nicknamed “Gator”, this native of Seminole County was a vital cog in West Georgia’s record-setting defensive unit in 1998. He was fourth on the team in total tackles with 76, and second in tackles for loss with 11. Also, Mosely was named UWG’s defensive player of the game following the season opening, 24-21, overtime thriller over Presbyterian. N – North Carolina: UWG ventured to the Tar Heel State for only the second time in the program’s history in their Week 2 visit to Mars Hall. A year before the Lions had visited Carrollton, pushing the Braves deep into the fourth quarter before West Georgia took total control. This one was over very early as UWG ran, figuratively and literally, to a 31-0 halftime lead and a 37-0 win. The Braves ran for 359 yards against the Lions, including two 100-yard performances. Steve Duncan carried 16 times for 137 yards and three TDs, while Kevin Carroll had 12 carries for 103 yards. O – Offensive Line: An unsung backbone of almost any championship team is the blocking corps. For this West Georgia team, however, unsung might not have been the appropriate word. The 1998 offensive line ranked among the best of many great one tutored by Gary Otten during his many years on the UWG staff. Tackle Chris Williams was a two-time All-America, guard Jonathan Brinson and center Matt Fendley both earned post season honors, and the unit’s newcomer, sophomore Abed Taha, also developed into a two-time All-America later in his career. Both Williams and Taha are members of the University of West Georgia Athletic Hall of Fame. P – Pounders: The offensive line wasn’t the only stellar unit on the 1998 West Georgia Braves. UWG’s defensive line did its share of pounding all season. Tutored by former team captain and Braves star Roberto Pinilla, this unit was outstanding all season. The ends; AllAmerica Vinson Cooper, Pat Brown, and Courtney Roebuck were all big playmakers. Inside, the Braves had GSC Freshman of the Year Channing Williams, Pierre Pluviose, and Chip Horton. Was it any wonder the Braves’ linebackers had so much freedom to roam and make plays? Q – Queen: Homecoming activities always feature the crowning of a queen. In 1998, the Braves did their part to make the proceedings festive with a major beat down of Henderson State. UWG’s 54-3 win over the Reddies was the most one-sided Homecoming win in school history. It was a huge day for defense as West Georgia held their visitors to but 123 yards offense and forced four turnovers. Jeremy Clements threw four TD passes, while Dennison Robinson and J.D. Dickerson each returned an interception for a score. R – Robinson, Dennison: Still going strong as an Arena Football League star, this native of Baton Rouge, La., was a rock in the Braves’ secondary in 1998. Robinson earned All-GSC Second Team honors, leading the league with seven interceptions. He also has a 93-yard punt return for a score in the win over Arkansas-Monticello, the longest of the season in the GSC. Robinson, now with AFL’s Chicago Rush, was this season named the Arena Football League ADT Defensive Player of the Year. S – Sanders, Grant: A common thread through this section of looking back at the 1998 GSC title team has been special teams excellence. At the center of much of that success, no pun intended, was this native of Dewey Rose. His precision helped placement specialist Jeremy Coates to a record setting career. Also, he had eight tackles following punt snaps to Justin Allen, helping UWG surrender only 111 punt return yards for the entire season. T – Turner, Brian: West Georgia football big run in the 1990s featured many stars. However, the Braves’ success would never have happened without contributions from players like Turner. At one time a defensive end, Turner worked on getting bigger and stronger. By his senior season the Lawrenceville native was a mainstay at offensive guard for UWG’s title team. U – Umbrella: This weather protection device was only a small part of the protective gear needed when the Braves made their first ever visit to Buerkle Field to face Arkansas Tech. A cold rain, coupled with a wind chill factor in the 20s, made for conditions that were charitably described as miserable. Still, one week away from a showdown with Valdosta State, West Georgia remained focused on the task at hand to score a hard-fought, 14-7 win over the Wonder Boys. Steve Duncan rolled for 179 yards rushing and one touchdown, plus he caught a two-point conversion pass. Two field goals from Jeremy Coates provided UWG’s other points in what is still the program’s only win ever in Russellville. V – Vapid: Prior to the 2008 season many thought this adjective would be ideal to describe the state of West Georgia football: “lacking or having lost life or sharpness.” Picked sixth in the GSC preseason poll, West Georgia was voted last by one league head coach. Those projections, as it turned, were… vapid. W – Williams, Chris – A leader and a performer, this native of Swainsboro still ranks among the most decorated and celebrated players ever to wear the blue-and-red. Williams, a tri-captain of the 98 title team, was a two-time All-America and twice earned berths on the All-Region and All-Gulf south Conference Teams. Also, he was a first ballot selection to the UWG Athletic Hall of Fame. X – X-Receiver: This was the terminology given in the Braves’ terminology of the day to, mostly, the split end position. It was a spot manned quite nicely by Roscoe Pounds. A Villa Rica native, Pounds came to UWG in 1997 as a quarterback from Jones County (Miss.) Community College. He led the 98 Braves with 62 receptions for 915 yards and 10 touchdowns. Pounds remains UWG’s career pass reception record holder with 154, including catches in a school record 32 straight games. Y – Youth: Despite the newness of many players, the 1998 West Georgia Braves were not a young team. Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Channing Williams made the most impact of any of the newcomers as he won GSC Freshman of the Year honors. Also playing a prominent role as a redshirt freshman was defensive back Nate Coggins. Though not a starter for the season opener vs. Presbyterian, Coggins was on the field midway in the first period and he never left. The Atlanta native and two-time All-America started a school record 45 straight games and was a 2007 inductee of the UWG Athletic Hall of Fame. Z – Zip Job: West Georgia’s record-setting defense pitched one shutout in 1998, a Week Two shellacking of Mars Hill. What was UWG’s most impressive defensive performance of the season came, perhaps, in an opening night in an overtime epic vs. Presbyterian. The Braves trailed this one 21-0 just 10 minutes into the season. But, from that moment forward, West Georgia’s defense put the clamps on the Blue Hose and their high-flying attack. They shutout PC over the game’s final 40 minutes, and during the first period of overtime, to secure a dramatic opening night win. It was a win that proved to be a springboard to a magical football season.

Founded in 1906, the institution grew from a district agricultural and mechanical school to a two-year institution and was granted four-year college status in 1957. The school was recognized with university status in 1996. The motto of our university is Educational Excellence in a Personal Environment. The university currently offers 109 programs of study, including 56 at the Bachelor’s degree level, 40 at the Master’s and Specialist degree levels, two at the Doctoral level, and 11 certificates. In the Summer of 2009, the university will enroll its first students in a new Doctoral program in professional counseling and supervision. Enrollment at UWG was 10,677 in the 2007 Fall semester. As a state university in the University System of Georgia, it enrolls students from most counties in Georgia as well as from about 40 other states and 80 countries. The University of West Georgia is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The five academic entities which comprise the university are the College of Arts and Sciences, the largest of West Georgia’s undergraduate colleges; the College of Education, housing one of the largest teacher-education programs in the nation; the Richards College of Business, one of only approximately four percent of the schools worldwide with separate AACSB-International accreditation for its business and accounting programs; the Honors College, the only college of its kind in the state; and the Graduate School, which enrolls one of the highest percentages of graduate students of any institution in the University System of Georgia. The University of West Georgia is a national leader in debate, undergraduate research, and school improvement. The nursing program and the College of Education are helping to meet the state’s growing demand for professionals in these fields. Improved and expanded facilities, including the newly opened Campus Center, are a vital part of the learning environment and encourage students to be involved in and out of the classroom. Construction is under way on a new Health and Wellness Center, which will house the Department of Physical Education and Recreation, as well as a major renovation and addition to the Callaway Building, which houses the geosciences program. 112 West Georgia Wolves West Georgia students can be involved in the life of the campus in many ways. The University of West Georgia fields five men’s and six women’s intercollegiate athletics teams and offers a wide range of clubs, interest groups, organizations, and activities. Service learning is an important component of the West Georgia experience.
