2016 ARKANSAS STATE FOOTBALL NOTES: Head Coach Blake Anderson

Blake Anderson, a 14-year coaching veteran at the NCAA FBS level

who also coached in an NJCAA National Championship game, was

named the Red Wolves’ 30th all-time head football coach on Dec. 19,

2013.

Anderson led A-State to back-to-back winning seasons, a pair of bowl

game appearances (2015 New Orleans Bowl and 2014 GoDaddy Bowl)

and the 2015 Sun Belt Conference championship his first two seasons

at the helm, which also saw the Red Wolves break the school records for

total offense (6,174 yards in 2014), average yards total offense (476.5

yards per game in 2014), total plays (1,024 in 2014), points scored (520

in 2015), touchdowns scored (69 in 2015) and interceptions (26 in 2015).

Out of 30 all-time head coaches, Anderson became just the fourth to

win at least seven games in his first season at A-State. Now with 16 ca-

reer victories leading the Red Wolves, he is the first head coach in A-

State history to win 12 or more games his first two seasons at the school.

Additionally, Anderson is the only head coach in school history to direct

the program to 16 wins in 25 or fewer games.

The Red Wolves won the 2015 league title with an unblemished 8-0

record, giving them the conference title for the fourth time over the last

five seasons. In the process, A-State became the only SBC program to

ever go 8-0 in league play during multiple seasons (2015 and 2011).

All nine victories by the Red Wolves in 2015 came by at least 10

points, and the team’s average margin of victory in its eight Sun Belt

wins was 21.1 points. Six of A-State’s seven wins in 2014 also came by

a double-figure margin, meaning 15 of the Red Wolves’ 16 wins under

Anderson have come by 10 or more points.

Both of Anderson’s first two squads ranked among the top 45 teams

in the nation in at least 23 combined offensive, defensive and special

teams categories, including last season when the Red Wolves led the

nation in defensive touchdowns (8) and passes intercepted (26). Along

the way, he saw 11 of his players earn All-Sun Belt recognition in 2014,

followed by a school-record 16 in 2015 that also tied the most in con-

ference history.

Anderson has led the Red Wolves to a 10-2 home record, which in-

cludes a 2014 overtime win over a Utah State team that won 10 games

and received votes in the final Associated Press Top-25 Poll. Under his

direction, A-State has won 13 games by at least 14 points as well.

Upon his arrival at A-State, he assembled a well-respected coaching

staff and began working to put together his first recruiting class in an ab-

breviated time period. Not only did he sign the Sun Belt’s No. 1 ranked

class by Rivals.com, all three of his recruiting classes have ranked

among the top three teams in the league by every major recruiting serv-

ice.

Before joining A-State, Anderson worked on head coach Larry Fe-

dora’s staff as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at both

North Carolina and Southern Miss the previous four seasons. His dy-

namic offense helped lead the two programs to 34 victories, three bowl

game appearances and two conference or divisional titles. Along the

way, his potent offense was responsible for breaking both school’s total

offense records while also ranking among the most productive teams in

the nation.

The Hubbard, Texas, native came to A-State after spending the pre-

vious two seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach

at North Carolina, where he helped lead the Tar Heels to an Atlantic

Coast Conference Coastal Division title in 2012 and the Belk Bowl in

2013. Under Anderson’s direction, North Carolina averaged 432.4 total

yards per game in 2013 after setting the school record the previous year

with 485.6 yards per contest. Prior to his arrival in Chapel Hill, the Tar

Heels had not averaged 400 yards in a season since 1993.

North Carolina’s offense posted more than 500 yards of total offense

seven times during Anderson’s two seasons at the school, including a

school-record 721 versus Old Dominion his last season, and scored 40

or more points in nine games. The Tar Heels averaged 44.2 points per

game at Kenan Stadium (14 games) and 25.4 on the road (10 games)

with Anderson as their offensive coordinator.

Anderson led a passing offense during the 2013 season ranked 23rd

in the nation, averaging 286.3 yards per game. North Carolina posted

27 passing touchdowns, which were the second most in school history

and just two behind the 29 recorded in 2012. The Tar Heels ranked

among the top 44 teams in the nation in total offense, completion per-

centage, passing offense, red zone offense, scoring offense, passing ef-

ficiency, fourth down conversions and turnovers lost in 2013.

North Carolina’s offensive success was just a continuation from An-

derson’s initial season, which saw the Tar Heels establish more than 35

school records. The Tar Heels finished eighth in the country in scoring,

averaging 40.6 points per game, and were 14th nationally with 485.6

yards per game. Their passing attack was 26th nationally with 291.8

yards per contest, and the Tar Heels also rushed for 193.8 yards per

game, their highest average since 1994.

Individuals excelled in Anderson’s system at every position. During

his time at the school, six offensive players received All-ACC recognition,

including First Team All-America selection Eric Ebron at tight end. As

quarterbacks coach, Anderson tutored standouts Bryn Renner and Mar-

quise Williams. Renner set the single-season school record for touch-

downs passes with 28 in 2012, while Williams provided a spark to the

UNC offense in 2013 with his mobility outside the pocket. Williams fin-

ished the regular season with 1,058 yards of total offense in the last

three games alone, which was the most in any three-game stretch in Tar

Heels history. He was also the first quarterback to lead North Carolina

in rushing since 1968.

Anderson went to Chapel Hill after a record-setting run as Southern

Miss’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The Golden Ea-

gles set school records for total offense in each of Anderson’s last two

years. He was part of a Southern Miss staff under Fedora that won a

school-record 12 games in 2012, including the Conference USA cham-

pionship over previously unbeaten Houston and the Hawaii Bowl over

Nevada.

Anderson spent his first two seasons as USM’s quarterbacks coach

and run game coordinator and developed Austin Davis into one of the

nation’s top signal callers. Davis broke nearly every school record in an

outstanding four-year career.

Under the eye of Anderson, the Golden Eagles were one of 14 teams

in the country that averaged more than 200 yards per game in both rush-

ing and passing in 2011. The Golden Eagles had nearly 6,500 yards of

total offense and set a school record with 461.4 yards per game. In ad-

dition, USM was 15th nationally in scoring offense, 16th in total offense

and 21st in rushing offense. Anderson’s offense posted 30-or-more

points in 10 of 14 games in 2011, including a season-high 63 in a win

over Navy.

In 2010, Southern Miss was 18th in total offense, 20th in rushing of-

fense and 35th in passing offense. The Golden Eagles also averaged

36.9 points per game to rank 15th in the nation. That season, Ander-

son’s quarterbacks were among the most efficient in the nation with only

eight interceptions thrown – including one by a wide receiver – to 24

touchdowns. Davis accounted for 10 of the team’s 28 rushing touch-

downs, more than any other back.

In his first year in Hattiesburg in 2008, Anderson mentored then red-

shirt freshman and first-year starter Davis, who responded by having the

best season ever for a freshman QB at the school, while also putting to-

gether one of the better years that any signal caller has had at the uni-

versity.

Davis, who was the first freshman to start in his opening game since

1991, notched 15 school records, including six season marks – passing

yards (3,128), completions (261), attempts (454), total offense (3,636)

and touchdowns responsible for (30).

Anderson came to Southern Miss after spending the 2007 campaign

at Louisiana-Lafayette as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

The Ragin’ Cajuns posted the No. 6-rated rushing offense nationally

(251.6) in 2007 and became the Sun Belt’s first ever 3,000-yard rushing

team (3,019).

Anderson, who was in private business from 2004-06, previously

worked at Middle Tennessee, where he helped direct an offensive unit

as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach from 2002-04.

He spent three seasons at New Mexico before landing at MTSU. He

served as the wide receivers coach in 2001 and running backs coach

from 1999-2000. The UNM rushing attack was responsible for a major

share of the Lobo offense in 2000. The Lobos averaged 148 yards per

game on the ground, which accounted for 56 percent of the team’s total

offense.

Anderson worked at Trinity Valley Community College (1995-98) be-

fore joining the Division I FBS ranks at New Mexico. In 1998, he was

the offensive coordinator and the Cardinals went 7-3. He helped lead

the Cardinals to the 1997 NJCAA National Championship.

He began his coaching career at Eastern New Mexico in 1992 (grad-

uate assistant) and 1993 (full-time), where he tutored the wide receivers.

He then moved on to Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas, to

coach wide receivers in 1994. HPU won the Texas IAA conference title.

A two-year letterwinner at wide receiver for Sam Houston State from

1989-91, Anderson was named Southland Conference All-Academic as

a senior. He also played for two years as a quarterback and receiver at

Baylor (1987-89) before transferring. Anderson graduated with his bach-

elor’s degree in kinesiology from Sam Houston State in 1992. He also at-

tained his master’s degree in sports administration from Eastern New

Mexico in 1994. Anderson and his wife Wendy have one daughter, Cal-

lie, and two sons, Coleton and Cason.

2016 ARKANSAS STATE FOOTBALL NOTES: Game Recaps


A‐State opened up the scoring with a career‐long 43‐yard field goalby J.D. Houston near the end of the first quarter. The drive was setup by a fumble forced by Chris Humes, which he also recovered at A‐State’s 42‐yard line. The turnover forced was the 24th time in 27games under defensive coordinator Joe Cauthen that the Red Wolveshave caused a giveaway.

However, the second period belonged to Toledo as the Rocketsscored three minutes into the frame with a five‐yard touchdown passby Logan Woodside to Michael Roberts. The scoring play gave thevisitors a 7‐3 edge and capped a 12‐play, 75‐yard drive. Kareem Huntadded a one‐yard rushing touchdown after an A‐State three‐and‐outto put the Rockets up 14‐3, while Woodside tossed his second scor‐ing pass of the quarter after another Red Wolves’ three‐and‐out, thisone a 16‐yard strike to Cody Thompson to set the halftime score at21‐3.

Toledo added to their advantage with a 42‐yard field goal by Jame‐son Vest to make the score 24‐3 after the Red Wolves went three‐and‐out on offense to begin the half. Arkansas State drove to nearmidfield in its second possession of the third quarter after fourstraight runs by Armond Weh‐Weh, the first two picking up 12 and 10yards respectively.

However, the drive stalled for the Red Wolves when Chad Voytikwas sacked. Punter Damon Foncham pinned the Rockets inside their20‐yard line, but the visitors only needed five plays to cover 86 yardsto earn a 31‐3 lead with Woodside’s third touchdown toss of thegame.

A‐State scored its first touchdown of the game early in the fourthquarter when Armond Weh‐Weh plunged into the end zone fromtwo yards out for his first career score. The team drove 94 yards in sixplays with an 83‐yard toss to Blake Mack, the longest of his career,representing the biggest play of the drive.

ATLANTA, Ga. (11/3/16) – Arkansas State scored touchdowns on a blocked field goaland punt return and got two rushing touchdowns from Johnston White to secure its13th straight Sun Belt Conference win in a 31‐16 victory at Georgia State at the Geor‐gia Dome in a contest televised by ESPNU.

The win for A‐State improved the team to 4‐4 overall and 4‐0 in SBC play for thethird time in school history with the other occurrences in 2011 and 2015. The RedWolves are now 17‐3 in its last 20 road contests against league competition since the2011 campaign and have won five straight.

The two teams were locked in a 3‐3 tie late in the second quarter when the Pan‐thers (2‐7, 1‐4 SBC) attempted a 50‐yard field goal to try and take a lead into thelocker room. However, the attempt by Rogier ten Lohuis was blocked by A‐State’sCody Brown and scooped up by Chris Humes, who took the ball 57 yards to the endzone to give the Red Wolves a 10‐3 edge with 25 seconds remaining until halftime.

The blocked field goal returned for a touchdown was the first by Arkansas Statesince the 2000 season when Hanis Bowens accomplished the feat at North CarolinaState. However, the return didn’t give the team much momentum into the secondhalf as both teams were stagnant in the third quarter until Georgia State brokethrough on an 8‐play, 66‐yard drive, capped by a Keith Rucker 17‐yard score on a passfrom Conner Manning, to tie the game at 10‐10 with 5:57 remaining in the period.

Later in the third quarter, the Red Wolves took advantage of a special teams mis‐cue by the Panthers when a high snap on a punt attempt allowed A‐State to take overdeep in Georgia State territory. The Panthers forced a fourth‐and‐goal from the one‐yard line, but White barreled into the end zone to put A‐State on top 17‐10 with justover 30 seconds until the final quarter.

The fourth period began with a bang as Blaise Taylor returned a Panthers’ punt68 yards to the end zone for his third career punt return touchdown and gave theRed Wolves a 24‐10 lead. He ended the game with 98 punt return yards, which were

the sixth most in A‐State history for a single game, while it upped his career total to669 yards to place him second all‐time on the Sun Belt’s list for career punt returnyards.

The 14‐point advantage was short‐lived as Georgia State’s Tra Barnett ran the en‐suing kickoff back 90 yards for six points. The score remained 24‐16 after Chris Odomblocked the extra point attempt by the home team.

A‐State’s Damon Foncham pinned the Panthers deep in their own territory at thetwo‐yard line after a 57‐yard punt with a little less than four minutes remaining in thegame. Manning was sacked by Kyle Wilson on third down and a fourth‐down passattempt was knocked down to give the visitors the ball at the Georgia State five‐yardline.

White plunged into the end zone a couple of plays later from three yards out toput the Red Wolves on top 31‐16. The Panthers were able to move into A‐State ter‐ritory, but an interception by Brown, his second of the season and fifth in his career,sealed the victory for the Red Wolves.

Both teams struggled offensively for most of the game with Georgia State out‐gaining A‐State 331‐305. Justice Hansen threw for 212 yards, but was only 15‐for‐35on the night and had 205 of those yards in the first half. Warren Wand was the team’sleading rusher with 49 yards on 15 carries, while White registered 46 yards on 13carries. The two touchdowns for White on the ground gave him 23 for his career tomove him into eighth place in school history in career rushing scores.

Xavier Woodson‐Luster led the team with nine tackles, while Wilson recorded theonly sack of the game for A‐State. Brown and Taylor both had interceptions as the RedWolves have now won 22 straight games when holding an opponent to 17 points orless. Foncham had a career night with seven punts for 337 yards for a career‐best48.1 yard average. He had a 60‐yard boot for a career long and also pinned the Pan‐thers inside the 20 on three occasions.

The Red Wolves dominated the first quarter in yards as the team outgained thePanthers by a 145‐53 margin, but couldn’t score. J.D. Houston missed a pair of fieldgoals from 42 yards out on the first drive and 24 yards away on the second drive tosquander scoring opportunities. A‐State drove deep into Georgia State territory onthe third drive of the period after an interception by Taylor, but a fumble by Hansenended another promising drive.

The Panthers used the turnover to drive down the field into A‐State territory withthe biggest play of the drive being a 35‐yard rush by Kyler Neal. The drive stalled atthe 25‐yard line and ten Lohuis connected on a 42‐yard field goal to give the hometeam a 3‐0 advantage early in the second quarter.

The Red Wolves responded with a long drive of their own, powered by a 32‐yardreception by Kendall Sanders and a 22‐yard connection to Chris Murray, to even thescore at 3‐3 with a 30‐yard field goal by Houston after the drive stalled at the Pan‐thers’ 13‐yard line.
