He tallied six first down catches and had five receptions longer than 10 yards. White Jr. scored his first TD on a 72-yard pass that cut Fordham’s lead to 27-20 in the third quarter, then tied the game at 27-27 on an 18-yard catch in the fourth stanza. His biggest play was in overtime as he caught a two-point conversion to give Monmouth the onepoint victory on the final play.

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK - OCT. 3
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK - JUWAN WELLS, LIBERTY, DE, SOPH (DUBLIN, GA.) Wells led the Flames with 12 tackles (seven solo, five assisted) in Liberty’s 41-7 win over Robert Morris. He tallied 2.5 tackles for loss -- two of which were sacks for minus-10 yards, in addition to two quarterback hurries. Both of his sacks came on third down that forced RMU to punt in the fourth quarter.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK - MATT WHITE, MONMOUTH, P/K, JR (GIBSONIA, PA.) White registered a season-high 10 points in Monmouth’s overtime win against Fordham. He made both field goal attempts and all four point-after kicks, and averaged 48.7 yards on his three punts -- one of which was a 61-yarder. Three of White’s kickoffs were touchbacks and the Rams mustered just 29 total yards on the remaining four return opportunities.
THE COME READY NUTRITION FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK - SHANE BUCENELL, CHARLESTON SOUTHERN, QB, R-FR (WESLEY CHAPEL, FLA.) Bucenell was 9-of-15 passing for 149 yards and four touchdowns in leading the Bucs to a 59-58, double-overtime win at Coastal Carolina. His second touchdown pass gave CSU its first lead of the night at 23-21 to close out the first half, and threw touchdown passes of 24 and 15 yards in overtime. Bucenell finished with 162 yards of offense and a 231.44 passing efficiency.

2016 Big South Football BIG SOUTH POSTS UNDEFEATED NON-CONFERENCE WEEK FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR The Big South Conference went 5-0 this past weekend, the third consecutive year that the league did not lose a non-conference game in the same week, based on a minimum five games. Last season, the Big South posted a 7-0 record during Week 3, while the 2014 campaign saw the league go 6-0 against non-conference foes in Week 3 as well. FORTY IS FUN This past Saturday, five Big South teams scored at least 40 points during the same week for the first time in league history. The five combined for 239 points for an average of 47.8 points. BUCS SET BIG SOUTH RECORD IN DOUBLE-OVERTIME CLASSIC Charleston Southern defeated former Big South member Coastal Carolina, 59-58 in double-overtime this past Saturday, and the 117 combined points broke the conference single-game record. The previous mark was 107 points, which occurred three times. The Bucs’ win over the Chanticleers pushed the Big South to 12-13 all-time in games involving a ranked Big South team against a nationally-ranked non-conference opponent. CSU is now 3-1 against Coastal Carolina in such meetings. BIG SOUTH OPENERS RESUME NEXT TWO WEEKS Big South action resumes this Saturday when Presbyterian visits Gardner-Webb in the first conference game for both squads. Kennesaw State and Liberty will open their respective league slates next Saturday in a head-to-head meeting in Georgia. Below is a breakdown of how the four squads have fared in its respective conference openers: SCHOOL BIG SOUTH OPENERS Gardner-Webb 7-7 Kennesaw State 1-0 Liberty 9-5 Presbyterian College 1-6
NOTES Opening league season at home for just 3rd time (1-1) 2nd straight year opening league play at home 3-1 all-time in Big South openers on the road Opening league season on the road for 6th time
SUPER SUMPTER In his last two games, Kennesaw State WR JUSTIN SUMPTER has caught 14 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns, with an average of 23.86 yards per catch in that span. He is the first player in Big South history to open the season with touchdown receptions in each of the first four games. Earlier this season he was the first Big South receiver with back-to-back multi-TD catch games since 2013 (Coastal Carolina’s MATT HAZEL), and in just 15 career games with the Owls, Sumpter has 51 catches for 993 yards (19.47 average) and 10 TDs.

KHALIL’S GOT THE WILL Gardner-Webb RB KHALIL LEWIS leads the Big South with 522 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, and is second with 104.4 rushing yards per game. If he can maintain his current production, Lewis has a chance to become the first Runnin’ Bulldog EVER to lead the Big South in any of those three rushing categories. His 522 rushing yards through the first five games of the season are the most by a GWU rusher since the Big South began football in 2002, and the first to surpass 500 yards in the opening five games since KENNY LITTLE had 510 in 2011. Meanwhile, Lewis needs one TD run to become the first Gardner-Webb player with 10 rushing touchdowns in a season since PATRICK HALL had 12 in 2009. DANTE’S D Kennesaw State DB DANTE BLACKMON leads the Big South with 10 passes defended -- totals he has recorded in the past two games alone with 4 INT and 6 PBU. His six passes defended in Week 4 at Duquesne (three interceptions and three break-ups) were the second-highest single-game total in Big South history, and he posted four this past Saturday at Furman with one INT and three deflections. SEA SHELLS Liberty WR DANTE’ SHELLS has 93 career receptions for 1,759 career yards. He is seven catches away from joining the Big South’s 100-reception club and 241 yards away from 2,000. Shells would become the 13th player with both career milestones once he reaches each total. Meanwhile, Shells and Kennesaw State WR JUSTIN SUMPTER are the first players since Liberty’s DARRIN PETERSON in 2014 with touchdown receptions in four consecutive games. RANK AND FILE With Charleston Southern’s appearance in the national polls this week, the Big South has had a football squad nationally-ranked for 70 consecutive weeks, dating back to Week 9 of the 2011 season (Oct. 24). The Buccaneers are ranked No. 8 in the FCS Coaches poll, No. 8 in the STATS ranking, and No. 8 in the Hero Sports Media poll.

2016 Big South Football FRESH PERSPECTIVE Charleston Southern’s SHANE BUCENELL (at Coastal Carolina) and Liberty’s STEPHEN CALVERT (vs. Robert Morris) became the fifth and sixth freshman quarterbacks in Big South history with 4 TD passes in a game when the duo achieved the feat this past Saturday. Calvert added 340 passing yards in his effort against RMU, the third-highest passing total by a Big South freshman in league history. ROBINSON NAMED SEMIFINALIST FOR NFF’S CAMPBELL TROPHY Charleston Southern RB BEN ROBINSON is a Semifinalist for the National Football Foundation’s Campbell Trophy. The award recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation. The NFF will announce 12-14 finalists on Nov. 1, and each honoree will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class. The Big South had a finalist in 2013 when Coastal Carolina’s NICCOLO MASTROMATTEO was honored. REG-GIE, REG-GIE Monmouth WR REGGIE WHITE JR. has posted two 10-reception games this season, the most by a Big South player since Liberty’s DARRIN PETERSON had three in 2014. White recorded a career-high 11 receptions at Delaware State in Week 2, and tallied a career-high 167 receiving yards this past Saturday against Fordham. He leads the Big South with 35 catches and 7.0 per game. 2,000-YARD RUSHING ODYSSEY Charleston Southern RB MIKE HOLLOWAY became the 20th player in Big South history with 2,000 career rushing yards when he surpassed the milestone in Week 4 at Monmouth. The league’s active career leading rusher with 2,227, Holloway is 14th in league annals and needs 116 yards to move into 13th. Monmouth’s LAVON CHANEY (1,860) and Presbyterian’s DARRELL BRIDGES (1,815) are closing in on the 2,000-yard benchmark as well. Bridges would become the second Blue Hose on the Big South’s 2,000-yard rushing list, while Chaney would be Monmouth’s first entry among the conference’s career 2,000-yard rushers. MAXWELL HOUSE Gardner-Webb QB TYRELL MAXWELL is fourth all-time in Big South history among quarterbacks with 1,399 rushing yards. He needs 166 to move past ALEX ROSS (Coastal Carolina) for third-place. Maxwell, who became the 14th Big South signal-caller with 10 career rushing TDs in Week 4, is the only quarterback in Big South history with three career 100-yard rush / 100-yard pass games. He surpassed 3,000 career yards of total offense this past Saturday against Benedict College. BLOCK-N-BASILE Monmouth DB MIKE BASILE leads the nation with three blocked kicks, which is tied for second-most in a single-season in Big South history. The record is four, set by Presbyterian’s CHETYUANE REEDER in 2008 and tied by Coastal Carolina’s MARCUS WILLIAMSON last season. Basile has four career blocked kicks, which is tied for third all-time in league annals. He is one away from moving into a tie for second. Former PC defensive standout and current Arizona Cardinal JUSTIN BETHEL is the Big South career leader with nine blocked kicks.

BLOCK PARTY Monmouth has blocked six kicks this season, the most in the Big South since Coastal Carolina had six in 2011. The Hawks blocked a Big South single-game record four kicks at Delaware State in Week 2, with MIKE BASILE recording two of the deflections. The Hawks blocked two punts, one field goal and one PAT attempt to break the old league record of three set by VMI in 2004 and matched by GardnerWebb in 2009. Basile was responsible for the FG and PAT blocks, and is the first Big South player with two blocked kicks in a game since Liberty’s FRANCIS BAH in 2012. OCTOBERFEST Gardner-Webb is the sixth team in Big South history to play four consecutive home games in a singleseason, as the Runnin’ Bulldogs are in the midst of a four-game homestand. Charleston Southern will be the seventh as the Bucs begin a four-game homestand this Thursday. The two teams join the 2005 Liberty Flames, 2006 and 2014 Charleston Southern Buccaneers, 2011 Stony Brook Seawolves and 2015 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in the group. The Runnin’ Bulldogs are just the second to play all four games in the month of October, as Liberty was the first. THREE’S COMPANY Charleston Southern has three active players with 1,000 career rushing yards, as DARIUS HAMMOND eclipsed the milestone in Week 4. With 1,113 career rushing yards, Hammond joins MIKE HOLLOWAY (2,227) and BEN ROBINSON (1,278) in the club. The three players have rushed for a combined 4,618 yards and 46 touchdowns on 721 carries -- a combined average of 6.40 yards per carry.
Oct. 3 - Weekly Report 2016 Big South Football • 5
2016 Big South Football EXCEPTIONAL ESTES Gardner-Webb redshirt-senior TE MIKE ESTES is the Big South’s all-time leading receiver among tight ends. He holds the career records for receptions (96), receiving yards (1,189) and touchdowns (9). Already the only tight end in league annals with 1,000 receiving yards, he is four catches away from becoming the first with 100. HAMMING IT UP Charleston Southern’s DARIUS HAMMOND is second in Big South history with 564 career punt return yards, and is 70 away from breaking the league’s all-time record of 633 currently held by Coastal Carolina’s NICCOLO MASTROMATTEO. Hammond is challenging the Big South’s all-time mark for combined kick return yards. He is currently fourth with 2,323 and is 402 yards away from breaking the record of 2,724 held by Gardner-Webb’s J.J. HUBBARD. Meanwhile, Hammond is 465 yards shy from becoming just the eighth player in conference annals with 4,000 career all-purpose yards. GEE-WIZ Gardner-Webb LB CHAD GETER, who opened the 2016 season as one of 34 FCS players named to the 2017 Reese’s Senior Bowl Watch List, is 25 tackles away from becoming the 14th player with 300 career stops, and would be the fifth linebacker on the all-time list. Geter has accumulated 161 solo tackles, which is tied for 10th all-time in the Big South record book. Meanwhile, Geter has amassed 31.0 career tackles-for-loss as well as 10.5 sacks. He needs 7.0 TFL to match the Big South career TFL record among linebackers (38.0 - MARTY PATTERSON, Gardner-Webb), and 3.5 sacks to equal the linebacker sack record of 14.0, which is held by MAURICE SIMPKINS (Coastal Carolina, 2003-05). MAGIC MIKE Monmouth DB MIKE BASILE has recorded at least 10 tackles in 12 of his last 17 appearances, and already has 248 career stops through 27 career games. His current career average of 9.19 tackles per game ranks fifth all-time in Big South history. Basile owns 161 career solo hits, which is tied for 10th in the conference record book. He leads the Big South with 51 tackles and 10.2 per game this season, and is attempting to become just the third player in league annals to lead the conference in tackles in back-to-back years. In 2015, Basile became just the third defensive back to lead the Big South in total tackles and tackles per game as he finished with 119 and 10.8 per game, respectively. CHARLESTON SOUTHERN WINS BIG SOUTH OPENER TO EXTEND LEAGUE WIN STREAK TO 10 Charleston Southern began its Big South title defense with a 35-7 win at Monmouth in Week 4 for its second consecutive and sixth overall 1-0 start to league play. The win was the Bucs’ 10th straight Big South victory -- the third-longest conference win streak in Big South history and one victory away from second-place. The record is 16, set by Liberty from 2006-09. Charleston Southern’s next opportunity for a league win is Oct. 22. TOP CHEF Gardner-Webb linebacker AARON COOK eclipsed 200 career tackles at Western Carolina in Week 2. He owns 9.0 career sacks, and is one away from becoming the fifth linebacker with double-digit sack totals. Meanwhile, Liberty LB NICK NEWMAN surpassed the 200-career tackle milestone this past Saturday against Robert Morris. PORTRESS OF SOLITUDE Kennesaw State DE TONARIUS PORTRESS continues to lead the Big South with 7.0 TFL. He tied the Big South single-game record for tackles-for-loss when he registered 5.0 stops behind the line of scrimmage against East Tennessee State in Week 1. The previous player with this distinction was Presbyterian’s UGONNA AKOH vs. Gardner-Webb on Nov. 23, 2013. Portress is now the seventh player in Big South history with 5.0 TFL in a game -- but just the second to achieve the feat in a season opener. POINT OF ORDER Liberty owns the Big South record for most consecutive games with a point scored at 127, while the second-longest active streak belongs to Charleston Southern at 51. In addition, Liberty is the Big South’s record holder for most consecutive games scoring in double figures at 71.

Charleston Southern’s current streak of 43 conference games with a point scored is third-longest all-time, just ahead of PC’s active streak of 40 games. BIG SOUTH OFF TO ANOTHER SOLID START AGAINST NON-CONFERENCE FCS FOES The Big South is 10-6 after 16 games against non-conference FCS opponents. Since the start of the 2013 campaign, the Big South is 62-28 ( =68.8 winning percentage) in regular-season competition and 67-33 ( =67.0) when including postseason games in that span.

2016 Big South Football LIBERTY ON CUSP OF 50 BIG SOUTH VICTORIES Liberty has won a league-high 49 Big South games since the conference started football in 2002. Gardner-Webb and Charleston Southern are third with 31 Big South wins. MOVING THE CHAINS Monmouth RB LAVON CHANEY is tied for second all-time in Big South history for receptions by a running back with 75 -- just three away from breaking the record of 77 held by DE’ANGELO HENDERSON. Chaney’s 609 career receiving yards out of the backfield are also second-most among Big South running backs, and 122 away from Henderson’s record of 731. Meanwhile, Chaney has thrown for three touchdowns during his time in the Big South, tied with former Liberty WR ADRIAN HALL for the most TD passes by a non-quarterback. LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW Charleston Southern RB MIKE HOLLOWAY became just the second Big South player in league history -and the first in a conference game -- to record a touchdown rush of at least 70 yards and TD reception of 60+ yards in the same game when he did so in Week 4 at Monmouth. He first scored on a 75-yard run, then added a 63-yard catch-and-run on a swing pass into the end zone. Gardner-Webb’s DAVID MONTGOMERY was the first to achieve this feat with his 74-yard TD run and 73-yard touchdown catch against Southern Virginia on Oct. 24, 2009. EXCLUSIVE BIG SOUTH FOOTBALL RETURNS TO ESPN3 The Big South Conference is again televising eight football games exclusively on ESPN3 this season. The “Game of the Week” package resumes Oct. 8 with Presbyterian at Gardner-Webb with MIKE HOGEWOOD (play-by-play) and RENALDO WYNN (analyst) on the call. The package features a “Wildcard” selection for the second straight year, which will be the weekend of Nov. 19. That selection will be made 14-21 days in advance. BIG SOUTH FOOTBALL RETURNS TO AMERICAN SPORTS NETWORK The Big South Conference will make its season debut on the American Sports Network (ASN) on Oct. 22, as three games will be televised on the three-year old network. The remaining broadcast dates are Nov. 5 and Nov. 12. CSU’S PUNT RETURN GAME SETS GOLD STANDARD Charleston Southern returned seven punts for a Big South single-game record 248 yards against Kentucky State on Sept. 3. The Bucs shattered the old mark of 159 punt return yards set by Coastal Carolina against CSU in 2010. In fact, Charleston Southern’s punt return yardage from that game would rank as the 17th-most IN A SEASON in league annals. CSU averaged a league-record 35.4 yards per punt return against Kentucky State, and became the first team in conference history to have TWO players with 100 punt return yards in the same game -- KELAN FRAISE (Big South-record 126 yards) and DARIUS HAMMOND (122). BIG SOUTH AND ASUN CONFERENCE ESTABLISH FCS MEMBER PARTNERSHIP The Big South Conference and ASUN Conference (ASUN) announced on Sept. 13 a unique FCS member partnership that will strengthen both leagues and strategically reinforce the future of Big South football. The partnership, which takes effect immediately, guarantees a football “home” within the Big South Conference for ASUN members that play scholarship football. Under the arrangement, current or future ASUN Conference members that sponsor scholarship football will automatically be admitted as associate football members into the Big South Conference, so long as they are based in a predetermined geographical footprint that spans the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. HAMMOND NAMED CANDIDATE FOR NATIONAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD For the sixth consecutive year, a Big South player opened the season as an official candidate for the FCS National Offensive Player of the Year Award, as Charleston Southern RB DARIUS HAMMOND is among the initial 22 candidates for the top individual award in FCS. He is the first Charleston Southern player to earn this distinction. ELLIS NAMED CANDIDATE FOR NATIONAL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD For the third straight season, a Big South player opened the campaign as an official candidate for the FCS National Defensive Player of the Award, as Charleston Southern DL ANTHONY ELLIS is on this year’s initial watch list. He is the first Charleston Southern player to earn this distinction.

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK - OCT. 3
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK - JUWAN WELLS, LIBERTY, DE, SOPH (DUBLIN, GA.) Wells led the Flames with 12 tackles (seven solo, five assisted) in Liberty’s 41-7 win over Robert Morris. He tallied 2.5 tackles for loss -- two of which were sacks for minus-10 yards, in addition to two quarterback hurries. Both of his sacks came on third down that forced RMU to punt in the fourth quarter.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK - MATT WHITE, MONMOUTH, P/K, JR (GIBSONIA, PA.) White registered a season-high 10 points in Monmouth’s overtime win against Fordham. He made both field goal attempts and all four point-after kicks, and averaged 48.7 yards on his three punts -- one of which was a 61-yarder. Three of White’s kickoffs were touchbacks and the Rams mustered just 29 total yards on the remaining four return opportunities.
THE COME READY NUTRITION FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK - SHANE BUCENELL, CHARLESTON SOUTHERN, QB, R-FR (WESLEY CHAPEL, FLA.) Bucenell was 9-of-15 passing for 149 yards and four touchdowns in leading the Bucs to a 59-58, double-overtime win at Coastal Carolina. His second touchdown pass gave CSU its first lead of the night at 23-21 to close out the first half, and threw touchdown passes of 24 and 15 yards in overtime. Bucenell finished with 162 yards of offense and a 231.44 passing efficiency.

2016 Big South Football BIG SOUTH POSTS UNDEFEATED NON-CONFERENCE WEEK FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR The Big South Conference went 5-0 this past weekend, the third consecutive year that the league did not lose a non-conference game in the same week, based on a minimum five games. Last season, the Big South posted a 7-0 record during Week 3, while the 2014 campaign saw the league go 6-0 against non-conference foes in Week 3 as well. FORTY IS FUN This past Saturday, five Big South teams scored at least 40 points during the same week for the first time in league history. The five combined for 239 points for an average of 47.8 points. BUCS SET BIG SOUTH RECORD IN DOUBLE-OVERTIME CLASSIC Charleston Southern defeated former Big South member Coastal Carolina, 59-58 in double-overtime this past Saturday, and the 117 combined points broke the conference single-game record. The previous mark was 107 points, which occurred three times. The Bucs’ win over the Chanticleers pushed the Big South to 12-13 all-time in games involving a ranked Big South team against a nationally-ranked non-conference opponent. CSU is now 3-1 against Coastal Carolina in such meetings. BIG SOUTH OPENERS RESUME NEXT TWO WEEKS Big South action resumes this Saturday when Presbyterian visits Gardner-Webb in the first conference game for both squads. Kennesaw State and Liberty will open their respective league slates next Saturday in a head-to-head meeting in Georgia. Below is a breakdown of how the four squads have fared in its respective conference openers: SCHOOL BIG SOUTH OPENERS Gardner-Webb 7-7 Kennesaw State 1-0 Liberty 9-5 Presbyterian College 1-6
NOTES Opening league season at home for just 3rd time (1-1) 2nd straight year opening league play at home 3-1 all-time in Big South openers on the road Opening league season on the road for 6th time
SUPER SUMPTER In his last two games, Kennesaw State WR JUSTIN SUMPTER has caught 14 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns, with an average of 23.86 yards per catch in that span. He is the first player in Big South history to open the season with touchdown receptions in each of the first four games. Earlier this season he was the first Big South receiver with back-to-back multi-TD catch games since 2013 (Coastal Carolina’s MATT HAZEL), and in just 15 career games with the Owls, Sumpter has 51 catches for 993 yards (19.47 average) and 10 TDs.

KHALIL’S GOT THE WILL Gardner-Webb RB KHALIL LEWIS leads the Big South with 522 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, and is second with 104.4 rushing yards per game. If he can maintain his current production, Lewis has a chance to become the first Runnin’ Bulldog EVER to lead the Big South in any of those three rushing categories. His 522 rushing yards through the first five games of the season are the most by a GWU rusher since the Big South began football in 2002, and the first to surpass 500 yards in the opening five games since KENNY LITTLE had 510 in 2011. Meanwhile, Lewis needs one TD run to become the first Gardner-Webb player with 10 rushing touchdowns in a season since PATRICK HALL had 12 in 2009. DANTE’S D Kennesaw State DB DANTE BLACKMON leads the Big South with 10 passes defended -- totals he has recorded in the past two games alone with 4 INT and 6 PBU. His six passes defended in Week 4 at Duquesne (three interceptions and three break-ups) were the second-highest single-game total in Big South history, and he posted four this past Saturday at Furman with one INT and three deflections. SEA SHELLS Liberty WR DANTE’ SHELLS has 93 career receptions for 1,759 career yards. He is seven catches away from joining the Big South’s 100-reception club and 241 yards away from 2,000. Shells would become the 13th player with both career milestones once he reaches each total. Meanwhile, Shells and Kennesaw State WR JUSTIN SUMPTER are the first players since Liberty’s DARRIN PETERSON in 2014 with touchdown receptions in four consecutive games. RANK AND FILE With Charleston Southern’s appearance in the national polls this week, the Big South has had a football squad nationally-ranked for 70 consecutive weeks, dating back to Week 9 of the 2011 season (Oct. 24). The Buccaneers are ranked No. 8 in the FCS Coaches poll, No. 8 in the STATS ranking, and No. 8 in the Hero Sports Media poll.

2016 Big South Football FRESH PERSPECTIVE Charleston Southern’s SHANE BUCENELL (at Coastal Carolina) and Liberty’s STEPHEN CALVERT (vs. Robert Morris) became the fifth and sixth freshman quarterbacks in Big South history with 4 TD passes in a game when the duo achieved the feat this past Saturday. Calvert added 340 passing yards in his effort against RMU, the third-highest passing total by a Big South freshman in league history. ROBINSON NAMED SEMIFINALIST FOR NFF’S CAMPBELL TROPHY Charleston Southern RB BEN ROBINSON is a Semifinalist for the National Football Foundation’s Campbell Trophy. The award recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation. The NFF will announce 12-14 finalists on Nov. 1, and each honoree will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class. The Big South had a finalist in 2013 when Coastal Carolina’s NICCOLO MASTROMATTEO was honored. REG-GIE, REG-GIE Monmouth WR REGGIE WHITE JR. has posted two 10-reception games this season, the most by a Big South player since Liberty’s DARRIN PETERSON had three in 2014. White recorded a career-high 11 receptions at Delaware State in Week 2, and tallied a career-high 167 receiving yards this past Saturday against Fordham. He leads the Big South with 35 catches and 7.0 per game. 2,000-YARD RUSHING ODYSSEY Charleston Southern RB MIKE HOLLOWAY became the 20th player in Big South history with 2,000 career rushing yards when he surpassed the milestone in Week 4 at Monmouth. The league’s active career leading rusher with 2,227, Holloway is 14th in league annals and needs 116 yards to move into 13th. Monmouth’s LAVON CHANEY (1,860) and Presbyterian’s DARRELL BRIDGES (1,815) are closing in on the 2,000-yard benchmark as well. Bridges would become the second Blue Hose on the Big South’s 2,000-yard rushing list, while Chaney would be Monmouth’s first entry among the conference’s career 2,000-yard rushers. MAXWELL HOUSE Gardner-Webb QB TYRELL MAXWELL is fourth all-time in Big South history among quarterbacks with 1,399 rushing yards. He needs 166 to move past ALEX ROSS (Coastal Carolina) for third-place. Maxwell, who became the 14th Big South signal-caller with 10 career rushing TDs in Week 4, is the only quarterback in Big South history with three career 100-yard rush / 100-yard pass games. He surpassed 3,000 career yards of total offense this past Saturday against Benedict College. BLOCK-N-BASILE Monmouth DB MIKE BASILE leads the nation with three blocked kicks, which is tied for second-most in a single-season in Big South history. The record is four, set by Presbyterian’s CHETYUANE REEDER in 2008 and tied by Coastal Carolina’s MARCUS WILLIAMSON last season. Basile has four career blocked kicks, which is tied for third all-time in league annals. He is one away from moving into a tie for second. Former PC defensive standout and current Arizona Cardinal JUSTIN BETHEL is the Big South career leader with nine blocked kicks.

BLOCK PARTY Monmouth has blocked six kicks this season, the most in the Big South since Coastal Carolina had six in 2011. The Hawks blocked a Big South single-game record four kicks at Delaware State in Week 2, with MIKE BASILE recording two of the deflections. The Hawks blocked two punts, one field goal and one PAT attempt to break the old league record of three set by VMI in 2004 and matched by GardnerWebb in 2009. Basile was responsible for the FG and PAT blocks, and is the first Big South player with two blocked kicks in a game since Liberty’s FRANCIS BAH in 2012. OCTOBERFEST Gardner-Webb is the sixth team in Big South history to play four consecutive home games in a singleseason, as the Runnin’ Bulldogs are in the midst of a four-game homestand. Charleston Southern will be the seventh as the Bucs begin a four-game homestand this Thursday. The two teams join the 2005 Liberty Flames, 2006 and 2014 Charleston Southern Buccaneers, 2011 Stony Brook Seawolves and 2015 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in the group. The Runnin’ Bulldogs are just the second to play all four games in the month of October, as Liberty was the first. THREE’S COMPANY Charleston Southern has three active players with 1,000 career rushing yards, as DARIUS HAMMOND eclipsed the milestone in Week 4. With 1,113 career rushing yards, Hammond joins MIKE HOLLOWAY (2,227) and BEN ROBINSON (1,278) in the club. The three players have rushed for a combined 4,618 yards and 46 touchdowns on 721 carries -- a combined average of 6.40 yards per carry.
Oct. 3 - Weekly Report 2016 Big South Football • 5
2016 Big South Football EXCEPTIONAL ESTES Gardner-Webb redshirt-senior TE MIKE ESTES is the Big South’s all-time leading receiver among tight ends. He holds the career records for receptions (96), receiving yards (1,189) and touchdowns (9). Already the only tight end in league annals with 1,000 receiving yards, he is four catches away from becoming the first with 100. HAMMING IT UP Charleston Southern’s DARIUS HAMMOND is second in Big South history with 564 career punt return yards, and is 70 away from breaking the league’s all-time record of 633 currently held by Coastal Carolina’s NICCOLO MASTROMATTEO. Hammond is challenging the Big South’s all-time mark for combined kick return yards. He is currently fourth with 2,323 and is 402 yards away from breaking the record of 2,724 held by Gardner-Webb’s J.J. HUBBARD. Meanwhile, Hammond is 465 yards shy from becoming just the eighth player in conference annals with 4,000 career all-purpose yards. GEE-WIZ Gardner-Webb LB CHAD GETER, who opened the 2016 season as one of 34 FCS players named to the 2017 Reese’s Senior Bowl Watch List, is 25 tackles away from becoming the 14th player with 300 career stops, and would be the fifth linebacker on the all-time list. Geter has accumulated 161 solo tackles, which is tied for 10th all-time in the Big South record book. Meanwhile, Geter has amassed 31.0 career tackles-for-loss as well as 10.5 sacks. He needs 7.0 TFL to match the Big South career TFL record among linebackers (38.0 - MARTY PATTERSON, Gardner-Webb), and 3.5 sacks to equal the linebacker sack record of 14.0, which is held by MAURICE SIMPKINS (Coastal Carolina, 2003-05). MAGIC MIKE Monmouth DB MIKE BASILE has recorded at least 10 tackles in 12 of his last 17 appearances, and already has 248 career stops through 27 career games. His current career average of 9.19 tackles per game ranks fifth all-time in Big South history. Basile owns 161 career solo hits, which is tied for 10th in the conference record book. He leads the Big South with 51 tackles and 10.2 per game this season, and is attempting to become just the third player in league annals to lead the conference in tackles in back-to-back years. In 2015, Basile became just the third defensive back to lead the Big South in total tackles and tackles per game as he finished with 119 and 10.8 per game, respectively. CHARLESTON SOUTHERN WINS BIG SOUTH OPENER TO EXTEND LEAGUE WIN STREAK TO 10 Charleston Southern began its Big South title defense with a 35-7 win at Monmouth in Week 4 for its second consecutive and sixth overall 1-0 start to league play. The win was the Bucs’ 10th straight Big South victory -- the third-longest conference win streak in Big South history and one victory away from second-place. The record is 16, set by Liberty from 2006-09. Charleston Southern’s next opportunity for a league win is Oct. 22. TOP CHEF Gardner-Webb linebacker AARON COOK eclipsed 200 career tackles at Western Carolina in Week 2. He owns 9.0 career sacks, and is one away from becoming the fifth linebacker with double-digit sack totals. Meanwhile, Liberty LB NICK NEWMAN surpassed the 200-career tackle milestone this past Saturday against Robert Morris. PORTRESS OF SOLITUDE Kennesaw State DE TONARIUS PORTRESS continues to lead the Big South with 7.0 TFL. He tied the Big South single-game record for tackles-for-loss when he registered 5.0 stops behind the line of scrimmage against East Tennessee State in Week 1. The previous player with this distinction was Presbyterian’s UGONNA AKOH vs. Gardner-Webb on Nov. 23, 2013. Portress is now the seventh player in Big South history with 5.0 TFL in a game -- but just the second to achieve the feat in a season opener. POINT OF ORDER Liberty owns the Big South record for most consecutive games with a point scored at 127, while the second-longest active streak belongs to Charleston Southern at 51. In addition, Liberty is the Big South’s record holder for most consecutive games scoring in double figures at 71. Meanwhile, Liberty has scored a point in all 68 of its Big South games, the longest such streak in league annals. Of those 68 games, the last 56 have been in double digits. Charleston Southern’s current streak of 43 conference games with a point scored is third-longest all-time, just ahead of PC’s active streak of 40 games. BIG SOUTH OFF TO ANOTHER SOLID START AGAINST NON-CONFERENCE FCS FOES The Big South is 10-6 after 16 games against non-conference FCS opponents. Since the start of the 2013 campaign, the Big South is 62-28 ( =68.8 winning percentage) in regular-season competition and 67-33 ( =67.0) when including postseason games in that span. The Big South has posted at least a 60.0 winning clip in each of the previous three seasons.

2016 Big South Football LIBERTY ON CUSP OF 50 BIG SOUTH VICTORIES Liberty has won a league-high 49 Big South games since the conference started football in 2002. Gardner-Webb and Charleston Southern are third with 31 Big South wins. MOVING THE CHAINS Monmouth RB LAVON CHANEY is tied for second all-time in Big South history for receptions by a running back with 75 -- just three away from breaking the record of 77 held by DE’ANGELO HENDERSON. Chaney’s 609 career receiving yards out of the backfield are also second-most among Big South running backs, and 122 away from Henderson’s record of 731. Meanwhile, Chaney has thrown for three touchdowns during his time in the Big South, tied with former Liberty WR ADRIAN HALL for the most TD passes by a non-quarterback. LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW Charleston Southern RB MIKE HOLLOWAY became just the second Big South player in league history -and the first in a conference game -- to record a touchdown rush of at least 70 yards and TD reception of 60+ yards in the same game when he did so in Week 4 at Monmouth. He first scored on a 75-yard run, then added a 63-yard catch-and-run on a swing pass into the end zone. Gardner-Webb’s DAVID MONTGOMERY was the first to achieve this feat with his 74-yard TD run and 73-yard touchdown catch against Southern Virginia on Oct. 24, 2009. EXCLUSIVE BIG SOUTH FOOTBALL RETURNS TO ESPN3 The Big South Conference is again televising eight football games exclusively on ESPN3 this season. The “Game of the Week” package resumes Oct. 8 with Presbyterian at Gardner-Webb with MIKE HOGEWOOD (play-by-play) and RENALDO WYNN (analyst) on the call. The package features a “Wildcard” selection for the second straight year, which will be the weekend of Nov. 19. That selection will be made 14-21 days in advance. BIG SOUTH FOOTBALL RETURNS TO AMERICAN SPORTS NETWORK The Big South Conference will make its season debut on the American Sports Network (ASN) on Oct. 22, as three games will be televised on the three-year old network. The remaining broadcast dates are Nov. 5 and Nov. 12. CSU’S PUNT RETURN GAME SETS GOLD STANDARD Charleston Southern returned seven punts for a Big South single-game record 248 yards against Kentucky State on Sept. 3. The Bucs shattered the old mark of 159 punt return yards set by Coastal Carolina against CSU in 2010. In fact, Charleston Southern’s punt return yardage from that game would rank as the 17th-most IN A SEASON in league annals. CSU averaged a league-record 35.4 yards per punt return against Kentucky State, and became the first team in conference history to have TWO players with 100 punt return yards in the same game -- KELAN FRAISE (Big South-record 126 yards) and DARIUS HAMMOND (122). BIG SOUTH AND ASUN CONFERENCE ESTABLISH FCS MEMBER PARTNERSHIP The Big South Conference and ASUN Conference (ASUN) announced on Sept. 13 a unique FCS member partnership that will strengthen both leagues and strategically reinforce the future of Big South football. The partnership, which takes effect immediately, guarantees a football “home” within the Big South Conference for ASUN members that play scholarship football. Under the arrangement, current or future ASUN Conference members that sponsor scholarship football will automatically be admitted as associate football members into the Big South Conference, so long as they are based in a predetermined geographical footprint that spans the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. HAMMOND NAMED CANDIDATE FOR NATIONAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD For the sixth consecutive year, a Big South player opened the season as an official candidate for the FCS National Offensive Player of the Year Award, as Charleston Southern RB DARIUS HAMMOND is among the initial 22 candidates for the top individual award in FCS. He is the first Charleston Southern player to earn this distinction. ELLIS NAMED CANDIDATE FOR NATIONAL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD For the third straight season, a Big South player opened the campaign as an official candidate for the FCS National Defensive Player of the Award, as Charleston Southern DL ANTHONY ELLIS is on this year’s initial watch list. He is the first Charleston Southern player to earn this distinction.
