(HS) Position-by-Position Breakdowns 7 OFFENSE Quarterback Sophomore Marcus Crandell had one of the best seasons for any ECU quarterback in history. The Robersonville, N.C. native, completed 230 of 401 passes for 2,687 yards with 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Crandell has also exhibited a skill for rushing the football, gaining 96 yards on 71 carries and a touchdown. His forte is the short passing game, working the receivers and running backs on short routes. The Pirate offense is very multiple and Crandell has shown he can handle the many formations the Pirates line up in. If there is any weakness for Crandell, it is throwing long, where he has, at times, overthrown open receivers. Crandell is definitely the leader of the offense and has handled his role well. Redshirt freshman Dan Gonzalez is the back-up quarterback and has seen action in only two games. Running Backs The biggest name at this position is the shortest player on the field - senior Junior Smith. The Fayetteville, N.C. native, has broken school marks for single-game, season and career rushing yards. This season, Smith rushed for 1,204 yards on 226 carries and nine touchdowns. Despite being only 5-6, 180 pounds, Smith is strong (370 pound bench press) and quick (4.43 in the 40 yard dash). During his career, Smith has 3,672 rushing yards. Sixteen times in his career, Smith has rushed for over 100 yards in a game, including an ECU record 282 yards on 31 carries against Tulsa in 1993. Senior Damon Wilson starts at fullback, when the Pirates use one. Usually, it is in short- yardage and blocking situations. The Jacksonville, Fla. native, has only 18 carries this season (for 36 yards) and has caught six passes for 21 yards. Wilson is the senior leader on this squad. Jerris McPhail backs up Smith at running back and John Peacock spells Wilson at fullback. McPhail, a junior from Clinton, N.C., is the heir apparant to Smith’s role. He has tremendous speed and talent, and coaches have worked on ways to get the ball to McPhail more often. He led the team in receptions (34) during the 1993 season. Peacock, only a redshirt freshman, has only 10 carries this season, but is a fine blocker. Wide Receivers & Tight Ends Nine different wide receivers and tight ends caught passes this season, with two leading the pack. Redshirt freshman Jason Nichols led the team in receptions with 42 while sophomore Mitchell Galloway, playing in 9 games, caught 36 passes. Galloway sprained a knee against Auburn and missed the last two games. Both run well after the catch, especially Galloway, who averaged 15.7 yards per reception in 1994. Galloway also returned kickoffs during the season, averaging 20.9 yards per return. Coaches like Nichols’ natural skills, speed and hands. Redshirt freshman Larry Shannon and sophomore Allen Williams have seen most of the reserve playing time behind Nichols and Galloway. Shannon, at 6-6, is a big target. He also has the best vertical leap on the team. Several times during the 1994 season Shannon has caught passes by outleaping the defender. Shannon had 17 catches this season, including a team-high 6 for touch- downs. Williams has good hands and is especially adept at catching the long ball. He averaged 14.6 yards per catch on 21 grabs. Junior Derrek Batson has also seen a large amount of playing time, especially in the halfback spot. The Miami, Fla. native, had 15 catches for 165 yards in 1994. Redshirt freshman Linwood DeBrew started the first four games before injuring a neck muscle against South Carolina. DeBrew came back for the last two games. He caught 10 passes for 124 yards this season. Sophomore Perez Mattison was to have redshirted this season at quarterback. However, the Anderson, S.C. native, asked to play wide receiver in the last two games, but has no catches this season. Offensive Line This group allowed only nine quarterback sacks in 1994 and has been a valuable commodity for the Pirate offense. The line has also been held mostly intact during the season. Terry Tilghman (10 at right guard, 1 at center), Ron Suddith (11 at right tackle), Jamie Gray (11 at left guard), Kevin Wiggins (7 at center) and Charles Boothe (3 at left tackle) will start in the St. Jude Liberty Bowl. Position-by-Position Breakdowns 8 Tilghman, a senior leader, has good feet and technique. He has recouped well after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in the third game of the 1993 season. He has also had surgery before on both knees. Suddith, only a sophomore, is a keeper. Coaches feel he will go down as one of the best in school history when his career is over. The Miami, Fla. native, is an outstanding pass blocker. He has allowed just one sack in two seasons. Gray, another sophomore, is steady at left guard while Wiggins and Boothe, both juniors have quick off the ball, especially for their size. Seniors Ken Carroll and Derrick Leaphart will also see valuable playing time. DEFENSE Defensive Line The interior defensive line for East Carolina has been one of the main differences in the success of 1994 and the problems of 1993. The core of junior Walter Scott, senior John Krawczyk and sophomore Lorenzo West have been a solid nucleus for the entire season. Krawczyk and West have started every game this season, while a knee injury kept Scott from starting three games in the middle of the season. Krawczyk is one of the strongest players on the squad, bench pressing 415 pounds. He had 63 tackles this season, with 3.5 coming behind the line of scrimmage. Scott had 26 tackles in nine games, but was able to give the Pirates a tremendous pass rush. West was second on the squad in quarterback pressures (18) and had 51 tackles. The sophomore is somewhat undersized for his position (6-3, 243), but makes up for it in speed and agility. Senior Dealton Cotton and true freshman Alphonso Collins see most of the backup duty on the defensive line. Cotton redshirted last season on the offensvie line, and has been a valuable reserve this season on the defensive line. He started three games for the injured Scott, and had 21 tackles during the season. Collins has been a valuable reserve on the defensive line and on special teams. He has also seen playing time at outside linebacker. Outside Linebackers The Pirates have an outstanding pair of outside linebackers in senior Willie Brookins and junior Morris Foreman. Both are very athletic and could be playing Sunday afternoons in the future. Brookins, a junior college transfer who came to ECU before last season, played in only 7 games this year due to a knee injury. In those games, Brookins had 33 tackles, of which 6.5 came behind the line of scrimmage. He also had a team- best 22 quarterback pressures. Brookins has tremendous speed and strength for the position, and is an outstanding pass rush specialist. Foreman came to ECU as a defensive back, but has added some size for the outside linebacker position. At 6-1, 224, Foreman is still small for the spot, but has tremendous quickness and a nose for the football. He was in on eight turnovers (3 forced fumbles, 3 recovered fumbles and two intercep- tions) this season and 72 tackles, including 7 for losses. Daniel Russ, a sophomore, played a huge role in the Pirate defense, backing up Brookins. He also started in four games, with Brookins' injury, and did an admirable job. The Shallotte, N.C. native, had 38 tackles on the season with 17 quarterback pressures, third on the team. Leonard Graham, one of only four seniors on the defense, backs up Foreman at an outside linebacker position. Inside Linebackers ECU's two inside linebackers - Mark Libiano and B.J. Crane - lead the team in tackles. Libiano, a junior from Easton, Pa., has 135 total stops, including 13 behind the line of scrimmage. He is a dependable run-stopper and a leader on the defensive side of the ball. Crane, a sophomore from College Park, Ga., is the vocal leader of the defense. He started in six games (first four and last two) and had 79 total tackles, with eight behind the line of scrimmage. Marvin Burke, who started five games at inside linebacker, spells Crane. Burke finished with 47 total tackles in nine games. Carlos Brown and Aaron Black also play a reserve role at inside linebacker. Position-by-Position Breakdowns 9 Defensive Backs One of the biggest improvements on the Pirate football squad has been turned in by the secondary. ECU finished 19th in the nation in pass efficiency defense in 1994, and the success is due to the maturation process of the defensive backfield. Dwight Henry, a Football News All-Independent choice, led the secondary in tackles with 76. He is a speed merchant and has been able to make big plays using his speed. He broke a school record this season with 12 pass deflections. Daren Hart had another fine season from his strong safety position. Hart had 74 total stops, with 10 behind the line of scrimmage. He plays the run well and is a good open field tackler. Daren's identical twin brother, David, has been starting at right cornerback for the injured Hank Cooper. David has 50 total tackles and four interceptions this season. Emmanuel McDaniel began the season by picking off five passes in the first four games. Even though he did not have any more picks during the season, he played strong, with 51 tackles and six pass deflections this season. Coaches like his pass coverage abilities. Andree Taylor and Tabari Wallace came into the Pirate program as walk-ons, but have demonstrated big-play abilities as reserves in the secondary. Wallace's interception in the final seconds of the Central Florida game was a game-winner for the Pirates. E.J. Gunthrope and David Crumbie also play reserve roles in the Pirate secondary. SPECIAL TEAMS Placekicker Chad Holcomb and Matt Levine have been splitting kicking duties this season, with Holcomb seeing the most action. In kickoff duties, both have had 28 at- tempts, with Holcomb's average depth of 8.7 yard line while Levine's average depth is 8.1 yard line. Holcomb has had five touchbacks to Levine's three. In placement kicks, Holcomb has made 26 of 27 extra points and 6 of 13 field goals, while Levine has made 5 of 7 extra-points and 2 of 3 field goals. Holcomb's long has been 42 yards while Levine's has been 41 yards. Punting Matt Levine finished the season ranked 15th in the nation in punting, with a 42.59 yard average. The North Potomac, Md. native, has also been adept at hitting the coffin-corner, doing it 12 times (inside the 20-yard line). Levine has 13 punts over 50 yards this season. Return Specialists Morris Foreman has handled most of the punt return duties this season. The junior is one of the only linebackers in the country who return punts. And, Foreman is good at it too. He is tied for 15th in the nation, averaging 10.4 yards per return. Mitchell Galloway has been handling kickoff returns for most of the season. In the first nine games, before his knee injury, he averaged 20.9 yards per return. He also had a kickoff back 97 yards for a touchdown against South Carolina. He is expected to be back for the Liberty Bowl. Perez Mattison, who came out of a redshirt season, and Jerris McPhail also return kickoffs. 1994 Depth Chart Offense (12 positions listed) Pos.

Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium is the final exam. Steve Logan is the teacher. It's the way the third-year East Carolina head coach prefers it. "When I sat down and asked myself what I enjoyed most about coaching," said Logan, "it was the teaching that I enjoyed most and if teaching is what I enjoy then I would be teaching on Saturday as well.” If you spent time watching Logan on the side- lines, you'll get a feel how the 41-year-old coach uses Saturdays as another teaching tool. He'll take one of his young quarterbacks on the sidelines and discuss different plans, options and ideas. It's a two-way conversation and the best way for a student-athlete to know what he's doing right and what's he doing wrong. "He doesn't pressure you, he doesn't yell at you, but he makes sure you understand what you did wrong," said Jeff Blake, former Pirate and current New York Jets quarterback. "He makes sure you know everything about the game. He taught me how to keep my composure, how to be a leader." The teaching and leadership roles continue also off the playing and practice fields. The Lawton, Okla. native, feels that if student-athletes are going to be the best they are going to be, it requires self- discipline, hard work and dedication. Members of the football squad are told three things by Logan about playing football at East Carolina: 1) if you go to class and practice hard, you will play; 2) have fun playing the game of football, and; 3) play as hard as possible on every play and the wins and losses will take care of themselves. "T like to see the responsibility for the little things fall upon the players rather than for me telling them to do it," said Logan. "We never talk to our student-athletes about winning and losing - never," continues Logan. "We talk to them about showing up, playing every play as hard as they can play it and play to the last play of the game. We don't care who it is we're playing. We give a ton of respect to whoever that may be, home or on the road." Logan developed much of his philosophy through the influence of several head coaches. He worked on the staff of current Ohio State coach JohnCooper at Tulsa, with current Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson at Oklahoma State, with Bill McCartney at Colorado and with Bill Lewis at ECU. When Lewis resigned to take the head coaching position at Georgia Tech, ECU Director of Athletics Dave Hart, Jr., did not have far to look for the school's 17th head football coach. "It became obvious to me through conversations with Steve that he was the best man for the job," said Hart. Logan is mostly credited with the development of the Pirate offensive attack during the 1990-91 seasons when he was ECU's offensive coordinator. In 1991, ECU finished the season with an 11-1 record and reached a Top Ten national ranking. During the 1990-91 seasons, Logan coached quarterback Jeff Blake. The Sanford, Fla. native broke or tied 32 school records before leaving ECU, including most passing yards in a game, season and career. He was named the 1991 ECAC Player of the Year. Logan continues to monitor the offensive side of the football closely. He still coaches the quarter- backs but also makes his way around the practice field to observer his coaches in action. In 1992, it was Michael Anderson's turn to rewrite ECU record books. The Decatur, Ga. native, broke or tied 12 school records, including all of the school's sophomore records. This season, as was in 1993, Logan has another young signal-caller with outstanding potential - Marcus Crandell. The Robersonville, N.C. sopho- more, suffered a broken leg in the second game of last season and had to sit out the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, Logan has to use redshirt freshman Chris Hester for three starts and true freshman Perez Mattison for six starts last season. Logan came to ECU in 1989 after serving as quarterback coach at Mississippi State for two seasons. During his first season at ECU, he coached the running backs. His coaching career started in 1975 as an assis- tant coach at Union High School in Tulsa, Okla. He began in the collegiate coaching ranks in 1980 as a tight ends coach at Oklahoma State under current Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson and moved to Hutchinson Junior College the following year. "Thad to pull myself up by the bootstraps in this profession,” said Logan. "I've been working for this moment 18-20 years. And I'm very ready." Preparing Logan for his first major college head coaching job was several other stops along the way. Steve Logan - Head Football Coach 28 In 1983, he became offensive coordinator at Tulsa under John Cooper, who is currently head coach at Ohio State. While at Tulsa, Logan coached Steve Gage, who played three seasons with the WashingtonRedskins. Logan left Tulsa for Colorado in 1985 and coached the Buffalo running backs for two seasons before going to Mississippi State, where he coached the Bulldog quarterbacks. The year before Logan went to Colorado as running backs coach, the Buffaloes were 1-10. In 1985, Logan's first season at CU, the Buffaloes were 7-5, playing Washington in the Freedom Bowl. The following season, Colorado went 6-6, playing Baylor in the Bluebonnet Bowl. Many players that Logan recruited to Colorado were on the 1990 squad, which finished 11-1-1 and won a share of the national championship. While at Hutchinson Junior College, Logan was the Jayhawk Conference Coach of the Year in 1982. While at Tulsa, Logan did not play football and had plans to get a doctorate degree and become a college professor. "T realized I wasn't going to the NFL," said Logan. "But, I had to teach in the public schools before going to graduate school. There (Union High School) they wanted me to coach football. I got addicted." During the next five years, Logan became a high school assistant coach while he completed all but six hours of credits towards his masters degree. Leaving Union High School, Logan coached tight ends at Oklahoma State for Jimmy Johnson. He became hooked on the college game. "I loved working with the kids and having an impact on their decisions in and outside of foot- ball," said Logan. "That, and the intrigue of competitive strategy, really hooked me." And, since he began coaching in the college ranks, Logan has wanted to be a head coach. And, on Jan. 11, 1992, his dreams were realized. Logan, an avid tennis player, and his wife, Laura, are the proud parents of two sons - Vincent and Nathanael.

Improved campus life and student services continue to be high on the Chancellor’s agenda. Under his direction, the campus has a new state-of- the-art dining hall and is building a student recre- ation and wellness center, and a $30 million addition to the campus library. ECU’s reputation as one of the leading family practice, primary care medical schools in the country is being enhanced with new centers for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and alcohol and drug abuse. In pursuit of ECU’s goals, Chancellor Eakin holds leadership positions with the Southern Association for Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the College Football Association (CFA), and is in the forefront of economic and community develop- ment in Greenville and throughout Eastern North Carolina. He was chairman of the CFA Board of Directors during 1993-94. ECU Chancellor - Dr. Richard R. Eakin 34 Before his ECU appointment in 1987, Dr. Eakin served for 23 years as a member of the mathematics faculty at Bowling Green State University, where he was also a vice president. A native of New Castle, Penn., Dr. Eakin was awarded a master’s degree as well as a doctor- ate in mathematics with a minor in economics from Washington State University. He and his wife, the former Jo Ann McGeehan, have two adult children, Matthew of Charlotte and Maridy of Raleigh. ECU Director of Athletics - Dave Hart, Jr. Within intercollegiate athletics circles, Dave Hart, Jr., has earned an outstanding reputation as one of the country’s most respected athletics administrators. Hart has gained national recogni- tion for his skills in the areas of athletics management, public relations, marketing and fundraising. Since being appointed Director of Athletics at East Carolina University on December 21, 1987, Hart has lead ECU Athletics to new levels of achievement. Under his leadership, ECU Athletics has gained the respect of its peers for the commit- ment to excellence and integrity exhibited throughout the athletics program. In making the appointment of Hart, Chancellor Richard Eakin stated, “Dave has an exceptional understanding of all aspects of athletics adminis- tration.” While enhancing the image and reputation of ECU athletics, Hart has structured several pro- grams of significance within the Department. The most notable might be ECU’s comprehensive Student Development Program for all student- athletes. Two years ago, the Department of Athletics received a half-million dollar gift, from Bob and Margaret Ward of Burlington, N.C., towards the endowment of the Student Develop- ment Program. ECU has recently been selected as one of five advisory schools within the NCAA’s Life Skills Pilot Program targeted for all 106 Division I-A programs. Forty-one of the 106 I-A programs have volunteered for the Pilot Program, which will focus on the total development of student-athletes. Hart serves as Vice Chairman for the Missions and Values Committee of the I-A Athletics Director’s Association which proposed the Life Skills Program, called CHAMPS, at the I-A level, in conjunction with the NCAA Foundation. ECU also participated in the NCAA’s Pilot Certification Program in 1991-92, as one of thirty- five Pilot schools. Athletics Certification has since been adopted for all of Division I. When the University completed its Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation program in 1992, the Athletics Department received one of four commendations from the SACS review team for the manner in which the Department of Athletics is managed at ECU. Women’s athletics have made great strides during Hart’s tenure as Athletics Director. Indoor Track and Soccer have been added as Lady Pirate sports while the budget for women’s athletics has tripled. In addition, scholarship support for 35 women’s athletics at ECU has tripled in the last five years. In 1990, ECU initiated a “Ladies First” fund-raising concept with a goal of raising one million dollars to help endow additional scholar- ships for student-athletes participating on Lady Pirate teams. Revenue growth has been one of Hart’s continu- ing goals. Since 1989, ECU’s athletics budget has more than doubled to a current level of $8.5 million. During that same period of time, the athletics endowment fund has grown from $300,000 to over $2 million while the Department’s fund balance has gone from a meager $65,000 to nearly $2 million. Facility enhancement is tangibly evident during Hart’s tenure. He has planned, overseen and spearheaded tremendous growth in facilities within the athletics complex totaling nearly $30 million. Renovations to Scales Field House, which houses ECU’s non-revenue sports, Baseball’s Harrington Field, and the Lady Pirate Softball Field, are among “facelift” projects which have been ongoing during Hart’s tenure. He helped plan and coordinated the transition into the Ward Sports Medicine Building, a $6.5 million project, which is one of the finest facilities of its kind in the nation. This winter, Williams Arena will open in Minges Coliseum following an $11.4 million renovation. The renovation includes chairback seating, air conditioning, a new playing surface, new concession stands and new locker rooms for the men’s and women’s basketball programs. Targeted for 1996 is a $9 million expansion to newly named Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium to include a state of the art press box facility and club level seating. Also, targeted for 1996 is a new $1.5 million, two story multipurpose Pirate Club Building to house Ticket Office staff, Pirate Club functions and staff, and a 300 seat banquet hall with easy access to the Coliseum and Stadium. Pirate athletics continue to gain exposure and credibility under Hart’s guidance. In the past four years, ECU football enjoyed seven telecast appear- ances while finishing 11-1 and ranked ninth in the nation in 1991 and a St. Jude Liberty Bow] bid in 1994. The men’s basketball program has also reached new levels of success and exposure, winning the CAA Championship in 1993 and making their first NCAA appearance since 1972. Pirate Baseball has made five trips to the NCAA Tournament since 1988 and the Pirate Golf team has captured the last five CAA golf crowns. ECU Director of Athletics - Dave Hart, Jr. 36 Lady Pirate softball and men’s and women’s Swimming have excelled during that same time frame with the Softball team posting a school record 42 wins in 1992. Pirate Track and Cross Country athletes have set numerous school records during the last three years illustrating the positive growth taking place throughout the program. Hart has served on several committees during his tenure as Director of Athletics. He was ap- pointed in January to the prestigious NCAA Council. He also serves on the NCAA’s Special Events /Post-Season Bowls Committee. He chairs the Colonial Athletic Association’s Marketing Committee and serves on the CAA Gender Equity Committee. Hart was named Associate Director of Athletics for External Relations and Executive Director of the Pirate Club in 1985. His duties included the raising of funds for athletic scholarships through the Pirate Club, as well as overseeing all external areas of the athletics department. During his first two years in that position, the Pirate Club experienced record-setting growth as it surpassed the coveted $1 million mark in contribu- tions for the first time ever. The 1987 campaign saw another record performance under his direc- tion as the Club exceeded the $1.2 million level. Hart first joined the ECU athletics department in 1983 as an Assistant Athletics Director for Market- ing. It was the first time that ECU had ever employed a full-time staff member for marketing, and it immediately brought dividends. ECU’s marketing program gained national attention for the rapid growth in crowd participa- tion through tailgating and other promotional efforts. Hart was also responsible for implement- ing the “Great Pirate Purple/Gold Pigskin Pig-Out Party,” which is a weekend extravaganza sur- rounding the spring football game. Additionally, attendance at home football games increased greatly as evidenced by the fact that 11 of the top 12 crowds in Ficklen Stadium history have entered the turnstiles since the 1983 season. Pro- motional ventures such as the “Ain’t It Great to Tailgate” idea have added to the atmosphere at Pirate home games. Hart is a popular speaker at the national level and has authored articles for a number of national publications. He has made numerous speaking presentation at conventions and seminars on program management, marketing, fundraising, and personnel transition. For the past seven years he has been an instructor at the National Associa- tion of Collegiate Directors of Athletics’ Management Institute. Hart, just the fifth athletics director in ECU history, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Alabama, earning a B.S. in English /Speech in 1971 and a master’s degree in 1972. He attended Alabama on a basket- ball scholarship and was a graduate assistant coach for the Crimson Tide program in 1972. He won nine varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball at Annapolis (MD) High School where he was also an All-State basketball and football player. He is married to the former Pam Humble of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and they have three children - Ricky (22), Jamie (20) and Kelly (17).

Crandell has done that in just 13 games. No other Pirate quarterback has reached the 1,000 yard plateau quicker. This season, Crandell is second in school history in single-season passing yardage, with 2,687 yards. Jeff Blake holds the school mark with 3,073 passing yards in 1991. Crandell is 8th in the nation in total offense, averaging 253.0 yards per game. Against South Carolina, he threw four touchdown passes, which tied for the most ever thrown against the Gamecocks. Said USC head coach Brad Scott after the game, “Marcus Crandell is the best offensive player I’ve seen since (Georgia quarterback) Eric Zeier.” Against Virginia Tech, Crandell completed 30 of 50 passes, while throwing for 332 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Crandell drew raves from Auburn head coach Terry Bowden. “That quarterback (Crandell) can play for anybody in America and be a great quarter- back,” said Bowden. Against Memphis, Crandell set a school record with 35 completions (51 attempts) and also threw for 322 yards. He also ran six times for 46 yards and caught a pass from Junior Smith\ (3 yards). Crandell suffered a broken leg in the second game of the 1993 season against Central Florida. It’s been a long road back, but the Robersonville, N.C. native, is ready to play. This season, hehas completed 230 of 401 passes for 2,687 yards with 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The healing of his leg has been remarkable. During the spring, he was timed at 4.67 in the 40-yard dash, which is faster than the 4.69 he was tied before the injury. In only six quarters last season, he com- pleted 19 of 40 passes for 253 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. He has had two interception-less streaks already this season. Earlier this year, he attempted 100 straight passes without an intercption. He threw 77 straight passes before being intercepted in the second quarter of the Auburn game. Crandell’s Top Five Passing Games (Yardage Only) 344 yards (19 of 28) vs. South Carolina (Oct. 8, 1994) 332 yards (30 of 50) vs. Virginia Tech (Oct. 15, 1994) 322 yards (35 of 51) vs. Memphis (Nov. 19, 1994) 280 yards (21 of 43) vs. Syracuse (Sept. 24, 1994) 270 yards (27 of 46) vs. Auburn (Nov. 5, 1994) ORYONS TILGHMAN, WIGGINS VERSATILE LINEMEN Senior Terry Tilghman and junior Kevin Wiggins are some of the most versatile offensive linemen in the country. Tilghman, a native of Mesquite, Texas, can play all five offensive line positions and has done it in games (not at one time). This season, he has started at center (Duke) and right guard (last 10 games). He has also played right tackle this season. Tilghman is married (wife, Jennifer) and has two children (Jordan, Terry, Jr.) to keep him busy at home as well. Wiggins, a native of Pink Hill, N.C., has played fullback, center, tight end and guard. He has not carried the pigskin yet, but he does enjoy being a lead blocker on rushing plays. Wiggins had started six straight games at center until Derrick Leaphart started against Central Florida. Leaphart, a senior, started his final home game against the Knights. Wiggins started at center against Memphis. St. Jude Liberty Bowl Game Notes 43 LIBIANO LEADS TEAM IN TACKLES Junior inside linebacker Mark Libiano (Easton, Pa.) leads the Pirates in total tackles with 135, including 13 behind the line of scrimmage for minus 40 yards. Libiano had 15 stops (7 solos) against South Carolina, 14 tackles (6 solos) against Virginia Tech, a career best 21 stops against Tulsa, 13 stops against Cincinnati and 18 tackles against Auburn. A truejunior, Libiano has recorded 276 total tackles in 25 career games, an average of 11.0 stops per game. He has double figure tackles in 15career games. In the Tulsa game, Libiano batted down a Tulsa pass on 4th-and-2 with less than two minutes left in the game to preserve the Pirate win. Libiano’s Top Five Tackle Games 1. 21 vs. Tulsa (Oct. 22, 1994) 18 vs. Auburn (Nov. 5, 1994) 17 vs. Syracuse (Sept. 9, 1993) 16 vs. Virginia Tech (Oct. 30, 1993) 15 vs. South Carolina (Oct. 8, 1994) aR ON DEFENSIVE BACKS DAREN AND DAVID HART - IDENTICAL TWINS Both Daren and David Hart had interceptions against Tulsa, which may be the first time identical twin brothers have made interceptions in the same game. The Harts are mainstays in the Pirate defen- sive secondary. Both are sophomores from Winston- Salem, N.C. Daren was asecond-team Freshman All- America (Football News) last season, recording 97 tackles, with 9.5 behind the line of scrimmage. This season, Daren has 74 tackles and three interceptions while David has 50 tackles and three interceptions. Both started in the last three games, David at right corner and Daren at strong safety. Daren had two interceptions and two tackles for losses against Memphis. HENRY NAMED SPORTING NEWS NATIONAL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Sophomore safety Dwight Henry was named defensive player of the week for Oct. 1 by The Sporting News and the Liberty Bowl Alliance. Against Southern Miss, Henry returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown and recorded 14 stops. Henry is one of the fastest players on the team, if not the fastest. He is a member of ECU’s 4x400 meter relay team and last season, was the Colonial Athletic As- sociation 400 meter champion. As a true freshman last season, Henry started in seven games (played all 11) and had 41 tackles. This season, he is third on the team in tackles (76) and leads the team in pass de- flections (12). OUTSIDE LINEBACKER FOREMAN ALSO RE- TURNS PUNTS Junior outside linebacker Morris Foreman (Farmville, N.C.) is one of the most athletic defenders on the Pirate squad. Morris returns punts, making him one of the few, if any, linebackers in the country returning punts. He has had a 28 yard return against Memphis and a 25-yard return against Southern Miss and South Carolina. During his freshman season, he also returned kicks and punts. In 1994, Foreman has 72 total tackles with two interceptions, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and seven stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also averages 10.4 yards per punt return (19 attempts), 16thin thenation.

State 34 Jan. 1, 1992 at Atlanta, Ga. Attendance: 59,322 (ECU’s most recent bowl game) Bowl Win Over Pack Caps 11-1 Season By Mike Grizzard, Daily Reflector Sports Editor The perfect script now has the perfect ending. And a team that always believed it could did something truly unbelievable. It was done with thrills and chills, suspense to the very end. But what did you expect? Down 34-17 with 8:41 to go and its never-say-die fans chanting ‘‘We believe’’ East Carolina mustered an incredible rally Wednesday to overcome N.C. State 37-34 in the 24th annual Peach Bowl. The fitting end to a story- book season leaves the Pirates 11-1. ‘‘When we were behind 17 points you couldn’t help but hear the people dressed in purple chanting that they believe,’’ ECU head coach Bill Lewis said. ‘’] think we’ve added a special meaning to ‘I believe’ or ‘We believe’ or however you want to say it because I think that we truly captured the spirit of that.’’ The frenzied bowl-record crowd of 59,322 and the final Peach Bowl to be played in Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium (the bowl moves to the Georgia Dome next year) nearly settled for a tie, but Damon Hartman’s 49-yard field goal attempt as time expired was short and wide right. College football’s Cinderella had beat the clock again. ‘We’ ve been called a Cinderella story all year,’’ ECU senior center Keith Arnold said. ‘’Cinderella went to a ball tonight and got married. She’s queen now. “The feeling’s unbelievable ... now I guess we know who’s the best in North Carolina.’ East Carolina, with its second-straight win in a series that was discon- tinued in 1987, can make that claim. But for three-plus quarters, the Wolfpack were better. Muscle and speed in the running game enabled the Pack to do what it wanted coming in — keep the ball out of the hands of Pirate quarterback Jeff Blake and put a lot of points on the board. : Anthony Barbour was a danger on the corners and finished with 90 yards on 23 carries. Greg Manior and Gary Downs banged inside and combined for 117 more yards. The Pack ran_the ball 56 times for 186 yards. But when time was an ally and first downs were critical, ECU’s defense got tough and State wilted. “| thought we were the better team there for a while,’’ N.C.. State head coach Dick Sheridan said. ‘‘But we didn’t get the job done either offensive- ly, defensively or the kicking game.’’ State’s collapse down the stretch included a shanked punt that gave the Pirates a shot in the arm. The Wolfpack also could find no solution to a red-hot Blake, who com- pleted 31 of 51 passes for 378 yards, threw four touchdowns and was in- tercepted three times. Blake was particularly uncanny in the fourth quarter, hitting on 17 of 26 passes, 15 of 21 for 148 yards on the final three scoring drives in which the Pirates unveiled a shotgun formation. Tight end Luke Fisher was unstoppable, catching a bowl-record 12 passes for 144 yards. Fisher had six catches for 63 yards in the fourth period, in- cluding the game-winner with 1:32 left. The Wolfpack fumbled with just over a minute to go then lost on a last- second field goal to Maryland two years ago. The Cavs routed State 42-10 this season. The Wolfpack appeared to have the Pirates primed for the kill after Shad Santee recovered Dion Johnson’s fumble of a punt and Ledel George hit Charles Davenport with a 52-yard TD pass two plays later to make it 34-17. Mike Reid picked off a Blake pass at the Wolfpack five on the next series, but ECU got the ball back at State’s 32 after Kilpatrick's 10-yard muffed punt with 8:41 to go. Then Blake too over. From the 32, the Pirates needed seven plays and just 1:15 to get in the end zone. Blake got the score, slipping in from the two on a third-down option to the left. Kilpatrick got off a 50-yard punt into the end zone after the Wolfpack failed to pick up a first down on the next series. Blake promptly marched ECU 80 yards in 11 plays, hitting 8 of 10 passes and burning just 2:06, to get within 34-30. Blake hit Dion Johnson with a 17-yard pass for the score at the 4:18 mark. The Pirates opted to go for a two-point conversion, but Tyler Lawrence pressured Blake and forced a fumble. State, still clinging to the lead, took over again and was in immediate trouble when Jerry Dillon disrupted an end around and dropped Davenport for a 9-yard loss. The Pack was forced to punt and Johnson shot up the middle for 27 yards to give the Pirates the ball at the 41. Near disaster came when Fisher fumbled after snaring a Blake pass, but Cedric Van Buren recovered. Blake hit Fisher again for 8 yards then 22 for the TD. Terry Jordan quickly moved the Wolfpack, which still had all three of its timeouts, to the ECU 36 with 26 seconds left. That’s when Zaim Cun- mulaj burst through to sack Jordan for an 18-yard loss. After Jordan hit Robert Hinton for 23 yards, the Pack went for the tie. Barbour, Manior and Downs were workhorses as State drove 68 yards in 13 series on its first possession for a 7-0 lead. Downs scored on a 2-yard dive over the top. ECU tied it when Blake flipped a 5-yard pass to Van Buren, but State cashed in a Sebastian Savage interception in the second period for a 14-7. Jordan threw a 4-yard pass to Todd Harrison for the TD. Anthony Brenner's 27-yard field goal put ECU within 14-10, then Blake fired a 55-yard strike to Hunter Gallimore 1:39 before the half for a 17-14 lead. Brenner missed a 46-yard field goal attempt after an interception by Jones, then the Wolfpack extended its lead to 27-17 with an 8-play, 71-yard drive. Three passes to Davenport highlighted the drive. Manior got the score on a 1-yard plunge. Davenport burned Walker after Johnson’s fumble to put State up 34-17.

Newspaper Articles 65 Pirates In Pursuit Of Liberty By Joun RotH hen East Carolina's foot- ball players heard the news ata team meeting, they cheered. Win seven games this season, they were told, and it may be time to go bowling again. That's because a new bow! coali- tion emerged in college football last week, and East Carolina is one of the participants. The new alliance is not as compli- cated or as lucrative as the more pub- licized coalition of major conferences, and it won't play a part in determining the national champion. But it offers a very real promise of postseason play to five independent universities that otherwise could find themselves on the outside looking in when bowl invi- tations are extended at season's end. Completing a deal that had been in the works all summer, the St. Jude Liberty Bowl confirmed at an Aug. 25 press conference in Memphis that it is aligning with five schools to produce one of its contestants in each of the next! two years. East Carolina is one of the five, along with Cincinnati, Memphis, Southern Mississippi and Tulane. The school with the most victories against Division |-A opponents will eam a Liberty Bowl berth, opposite an at- large team selected by the bowl, pro- vided it has also met NCAA bow! requirements by posting at least six Division |-A wins. The 1994 St. Jude Liberty Bow! is set for the afternoon of Dec. 31 in Memphis and will be televised by ESPN. The payoff is a minimum of $750,000 per school. “! can promise you there is some genuine excitement in eastern North Carolina for the opportunity to partici- pate in this alliance;” ECU athletics director Dave Hart said at the announcement press conference. Much of that excitement was evident on Hart's home campus when the ECU players were informed a few days beforehand that the alliance had been finalized. “They definitely sat on the edge of their seats and took notice. They understood whal the announcement meant,” head coach Steve Logan sajd. “It's the first concrete thing we've had happen since I've been here that gives you a real sense of purpose. “We go out every Saturday and try to win every game, but now there will be some games this season that mean more than others. Some will be almost like two games—you win a game, and you take one away from the other guy.” Logan thinks the incentive factor ~~ ECU One Of Five Schools | To Form A New Alliance With Memphis-Based Bowl ~ ST, JUDE — can help the team the entire season. “You can lose a game on Saturday, and you're still into it the next Saturday,” he said. “This can help you stay competitive from Saturday to Saturday and carry you through the dog days of November.” The race for the bowl bid will be determined by total Division I-A wins, hence ECU's late-season game with Central Florida will not be a factor because that school is Division |-AA. If two or more schools have the same number of wins, a series of tiebreak- ers will be used, including head-to- head results and best record among common opponents. If teams remain even through all tiebreaker procedures, the bowl selec- ‘ tion committee reserves the right to make the pick, said Liberty Bow! man- aging partner Steve Ehrhardt. Had the alliance been in effect jast year, Cincinnati would have claimed the bid with its 8-3 record. The Bearcats, despite having their best season in decades, were not invited to a bowl game. Memphis, at 6-5, was the only other alliance team with a winning record last season. Memphis is the only school that plays every alliance member this sea- son. ECU plays all but Tulane, and Southern Miss plays all but Cincinnati. Tulane and Cincinnati play only two St. Jude Liberty Bowl Game Facts WHEN: Dec. 31, daytime SITE: Liberty Bowl, Memphis, Tenn. STADIUM CAPACITY: 62,425 TEAMS: Coalition winner vs. at- large opponent TV: ESPN national cable PAYOFF: $750,000 minimum per team alliance teams. Tulane is the only alliance member to have previously played in the Liberty Bowl, losing to Penn State in 1979 and defeating Colorado in 1970. Louisville defeated Michigan State in last year's game. East Carolina's last bow! appear- ance was the 1991 Peach Bowl, a dra- matic victory over N.C, State that gave the Pirates an 11-1 record, a shot in the arm financially and tremendous visibility beyond the football field. Logan says the new coalition can provide similar benefits if his team earns the bid, from exposure and recruiting to the player development that takes place during the extra prac- tice periods permitted bowl teams. “I really believe we-can do a good job of being a good football program here,” Logan said, “That (11-1 season) was not an accident, it was the proof. Success is a reachable, attainable goal and that's the proof. Don’t tell me it can’t be done.” The five coalition schools are among the prime players In plans for a new football conference that would begin play in 1996, after this alliance agreement expires. The schools are involved in football expansion plans by” the Metro and Great Midwest confer- ences, or a possible merger of the two.

CARR STAFF WRITER Being in the Southeastern Con- ference, Auburn defensive coordi- nator Wayne Hall is accustomed to facing formi- dable quarter- backs. And even though the Ti- gers will get a break from the tough SEC grind on Saturday, Hall figures his : : task is as chal- lenging as ever, Hall: with East Caro- lina's Marcus Crandell paying a visit. “We've faced some good quar- terbacks, but from what I’ve seen on tape, he could play for anybody in the Southeastern Conference,” said Hall, who was an East Carolina assistant in: the late: 1970s. “I don’t want to make any ‘of them (SEC quarterbacks] mad, but he’s as good as anybody we've played.” Crandell has completed 55.3 percent of his passes for 1,857 yards and 14 touchdowns with eight interceptions while leading the Pirates to a 5-3 record. He’s also gotten good protection from his offensive line, which has sur- rendered only seven sacks, and that will be a big key Saturday. _. “They do everything ([scheme- ECU-Aubum game to be televised FROM STAFF REPORTS The East Carolina-at-Au- burn football game at 2 p.m. EST Saturday will be tele- vised on a pay-per-view basis. It: will be shown in the Triangle on channel 52 and channel 23. Fans can order the game for $24.95 plus a franchise fee by calling Ra- leigh’s Cablevision customer service at 832-2225.
