2027

BY THE NUMBERSThe Kats have won 20 games in a row at Bowers Stadium dating back to the 2015 season. That is the longest active streak in all of FCS.

Davion Davis returned his second punt of the year for a score at ACU. He is avearging 21.6 yards per punt return and only he and Harvard’s Justice Shelton-Mosley are the only players in FCS with multiple punt return TDs this year.

Sam Houston qualified for the FCS playoffs for the seventh straight season in 2016. That is the most consecutive playoff appearances by a Southland Conference school.

WITH A BEARKAT WIN ...- K.C. Keeler would win his 221st career game. He is currently 16th all-time among FCS head coaches, 1 win ahead of Wofford’s Mike Ayers. Next up on the list is former Wagner head coach Walt Hameline who is 15th with 223 wins from 1981-2014.

- Sam Houston would get its first road win over a Missouri Valley Football Conference School since 2006. That year the Kats knocked off Missouri State, 20-17, on Sept. 23 in Springfield. The Kats are 1-3 all-time against the MVFC in the FCS playoffs after its second-round win over South Dakota. All 3 losses have come at the hands of North Dakota State, including the 2011 and 2012 FCS Championship games.

- Sam Houston would advance to its third FCS Championship game in its history, all coming since 2011. The game, held in Frisco, Texas, is hosted by the Southland Conference and the Kats are the only SLC school to qualify for the championship since the game made the move to the Lone Star State in 2010.

- The Kats would still be alive in its quest for the school’s first ever FCS national championship. Teams from the Southland Conference are officially 0-4 all-time in FCS Championship games with Sam Houston having gone twice, McNeese twice (1997 & 2002) and SFA officially vacating its national runner-up season in 1989.

LEFTOVER KATNIP FROM 34-27 WIN OVER KENNESAW STATE ...- The Kats moved to 13-0 all-time in playoff games played in Huntsville. The Kats have played, and won, at least 1 home playoff game in each of the last 7 seasons.

- K.C. Keeler moved to 27-0 in his career in home playoff games. Between his stops at Rowan, Delaware and Sam Houston the Bearkat head man has never had his team drop a game on its home turf. His Bearkat squads are 6-0 in his 4 years at Bowers Stadium. He was 8-0 in home playoff games at Delaware and 13-0 at Rowan.

- Sam extended its win streak at Bowers Stadium to 20 games, setting a new mark for the second longest home win streak in school history. The streak is the longest current streak in the FCS with the last loss at Bowers com-ing to Lamar on Sept. 19, 2015 by a 49-46 score. Since the start of 2011, the Kats have been nearly perfect on the Bowers Stadium turf, having won 47 of their last 49 games in front of their home crowd overall. The current school record for consecutive home victories is 23 in a row that stretched from 2010 to 2014.

- Sam Houston got its first playoff win over a member of the Big South Conference. The Kats had not taken on a team from the Big South since a 30-14 win in the 2010 regular season over Gardner-Webb. They are now 3-0 all-time against the Big South with the other win coming at Gardner-Webb in 2008.

- Briscoe finished with 313 yards against KSU, giving him 4,714 passing yards for the year. That broke his own single-season school record in passing yards set in 2016.

- Corey Avery picked up another 129 rushing yards and a touchdown and now has 1,068 rushing yards for the season, the second time he has eclipsed 1,000 in his 3-year career. Already second in school history to Timothy Flanders in both career rushing yards and career rushing touchdowns, Avery now joins Flanders as the only 2 backs in Bearkat history with multiple seasons of 1,000 yards rushing.

- Sam Houston started off fast again, holding a 24-10 lead at the break over the Owls. That has not been an uncommon theme as Sam Houston has held an average lead of 29.8-15.8 at the break this year.

- Defensive lineman Chris Stewart had a huge game against Kennesaw, finishing with 15 total tackles and a pair of sacks, more than doubling his season high of 7 tackles this season. MORE BEARKAT BYTES- In the second round against South Dakota, Sam Houston equaled its highest scoring output in an FCS playoff game in school history. They also scored 54 in a 54-24 win over Western Kentucky in the first round of the 2004 playoffs.

- With the Bearkats advancing with their second-round win over the Coyotes, head coach K.C. Keeler extended his career streak to 15 straight playoff appearances with at least 1 win. A Keeler-coached squad has never lost its playoff opener in his career and his Sam Houston teams now 4-0 in playoff openers. Each of his 4 Delaware playoff teams won their playoff opener, as did all 7 of his playoff teams at Rowan.

- The Kats finished with 708 total yards of offense in the quarterfinals against South Dakota, surpassing the 600-yard mark for the seventh time this season, setting a new program record for the most 600-yard games in program history. Of the 21 total times it’s happened in school history, 16 times have come since Keeler took over for the 2014 season. The 708 yards the third most in program history with the two highest coming against Houston Baptist both in 2014 and 2015.

- Davion Davis scored 4 more times in the win over South Dakota, including three times on receptions from Briscoe. He entered the game in a 3-way tie with Matt Dominguez and teammate Yedidiah Louis for the Bearkat career record with 27 touchdown catches and now holds sole possession of that record with 30. He has 21 total touchdowns this season, 3 shy of Timothy Flanders’ 2011 school record for total touchdowns.

- Yedidiah Louis did not score in the USD game, but had a pair of TD grabs against Kennesaw State. He comes into Friday with 29 career TD catches, just 1 behind Davis’ current career mark. Sophomore Nathan Stewart is not far behind, already with 25 TD grabs for his career.

- True freshman cornerback Zyon McCollum picked off his second pass of the playoffs against Kennesaw State, giving him 3 interceptions for the season. He is the first Bearkat freshman with 3 INTs in a season since Mark Hughes had 4 during his redshirt freshman season in 2001. McCollum is the first Bearkat true freshman to do so since Mike Nelms had 5 in 1973.

- His pick was a big one in the third quarter against Kennesaw State kept the Owls grounded for their next 2 drives. KSU reeled off 23 consecutive rushes in their next 2 possessions after the McCollum interception.

- Jeremiah Briscoe threw for 505 yards against USD, setting a new SHSU playoff record for single-game passing. Sam’s 708 yards of total offense is a SHSU playoff record and the fifth highest single-game total in FCS this year.

- Nathan Stewart’s 48-yard catch in the fourth quarter against South Dakota gave him a single-season record for receiving yards at SHSU. He added 83 yards against Kennesaw State and leads the nation with 1,568 receiving yards this season.

- K.C. Keeler has won 9 playoff games with the Bearkats. Sam’s second-round win over South Dakota was his 8th, breaking a tie with Willie Fritz for the most playoff victories as the most ever by a Bearkat head coach.

- For the first time since Oct. 13, 1979, three Bearkat receivers surpassed the century mark in the regular-season finale vs HBU. Nathan Stewart hauled in 3 touchdowns to go alongside 198 yards while Yedidiah Louis accounted for 125 yards and a score. Davion Davis also added 108 yards and a touchdown.

BEST OFFENSE IN THE COUNTRY, NEARLY 3 YEARS RUNNINGIt’s no secret that the Kats are an offensively powered team, but they are looking to do something that has not been done in over 30 years in the FCS. Portland State led the country in total offense in 1978, 1979 and 1980, the first three years of FCS play after Division I split for the 1978 season. Since then, no school has led the country in total offense in consecutive seasons until the Bearkats did so in 2015 and 2016. Sam Houston currently leads the FCS in total offense again and could join the Vikings as the only 2 teams in FCS history to do so in 3 straight years. STEWART QUICKEST TO 2,000 YARDSNathan Stewart hauled in a 54-yard pass from Jeremiah Briscoe on the Kats’ first drive of the game against UIW, a catch that pushed him past the 1,000-yard mark this season. He is already just the eighth player in Bearkat history to reach the 2,000-yard mark for his career, doing so in just 21 games to set a school record as the fastest Bearkat in history to reach the mark, just ahead of Jarrod Fuller who did it in 22 games from 2003-04. He is also the first player in Bearkat history with multiple 1,000-yard seasons.

ALL GAS, NO BRAKES‘Don’t Blink’ was the mantra for the Bearkat offense in 2016, and it fit, considering how quickly the Kats would strike once getting the ball. Sam Houston scored 89 offensive touchdowns a year ago, with 54 of those drives taking up less than 2 minutes on the game clock. This year the offense has adopted ‘All Gas, No Brakes’ as its motto, carrying over its quick-strike ability into 2017 with 46 of their 73 TD drives taking up less than 2 minutes.

STAYING AT THE TOPThe 2016 season was the first time in school history the Bearkats not only started the year ranked in the top 5 of the national polls, but also stayed there throughout the year. Sam Houston opened up the season as the No. 2 team in the STATS FCS poll and eventually rose to No. 1 midway through the year before finishing ranked No. 5 in the final poll. Currently they are ranked No. 5 in 2017 and are one of just four teams along with the Kats, James Madison, North Dakota State and Jacksonville State having been in the top 10 all season. Since K.C. Keeler took over the program prior to the 2014 season, the Bearkats have been inside the top 25 polls each time a poll has been released. Additionally, the last poll without the Kats in the top 10 was on Nov. 9, 2015. V VOR VERSATILITY Davion Davis has been one of the most dangerous and dynamic Bearkats this season and after scoring 4 times against South Dakota has 34 total touchdowns for his career. This year he has gotten into the end zone via the pass, rush and on a punt return, becoming the first Bearkat since Derrick Harris in 2004 with multiple punt returns in a season. There have only been 4 players in recorded Bearkat history who have scored a rushing, receiving and return touchdown in the same year. They are listed below:

Player Year Rec TD Rush TD Return TD (PR or KR)Davion Davis 2017 17 2 2 (PR)Yedidiah Louis 2015 7 1 1 (PR)James Aston 2009 1 8 1 (KR)Tony January 1979 4 6 1 (KR)

BRISCOE LOOKING TO MAKE HISTORY WITH SECOND STRAIGHT PAYTON AWARDJeremiah Briscoe will have a chance to make history on January 5, 2018 as he was named as one of 3 finalists for this season’s Walter Payton Award last week by STATS FCS. After winning the award as a junior last year, Briscoe is trying to join Appalachian State’s Armanti Edwards (2008 & 2009) to claim the award multiple times.

GAME NOTES2017 SAM HOUSTON STATE FOOTBALL

KAT FACTSThe receiving trio of Yedidiah Louis, Nathan Stewart and Davion Davis have combined for 3,609 yards this year, or 75.3 percent of the total receiving yards for the Bearkats in 2017.

The Bison own the best postseason record in the country in that stretch, despite having their undefeated (23-1) streak in FCS post-season play snapped in the 2016 FCS semifinals against James Madison. Meanwhile, the Kats stand at 15-6 with two trips to the finals and reaching the semifinals two other times in that span. With an 18-10 overall record in the FCS playoffs, Sam Houston ranks third all-time in playoff winning pct. (.642) and seventh in total wins among current NCAA FCS programs.

LOUIS’ RETURN COMPLETES BEARKAT BIG 3 When the Kats got Yedidiah Louis back from injury for the Southeastern Louisiana game it reforged arguably the top trio of wide receivers in the nation. Louis enters Friday’s game with 894 yards receiving and with 106 yards would reach the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight year and give Sam Houston 3 receivers, along with Nathan Stewart and Davion Davis, with 1,000-yard receiving seasons. SHSU would become just the fourth FCS team in history with 3 1,000-yard receivers in the same season, joining the 2013 & 2014 Fordham teams and the 2016 Eastern Washington squad. For their careers the trio has combined for 571 catches, 84 touchdowns and 8,968 yards receiving.

WINNINGEST SENIOR CLASS AT SHSUThis year’s crop of seniors has has put togehter a stellar run, winning 46 games in their tenure while qualifying for the FCS Playoffs each year. The 46 wins since 2014 are the most ever by a 4-year senior class in SHSU history.

HALL MONITORThe Bearkat defense received a big boost with the return of all-America defensive lineman P.J. Hall. The senior missed the first two games of the season, but made his 2017 debut on Sept. 23 against Nicholls. Hall finished second in the voting for the Buck Buchanan Award for the national defensive player of the year in 2016, and has been incredible in 2017 while closing in on Southland and FCS records. He picked up a TFL at ACU, passing Southern Utah’s James Cowser for the FCS career record, now standing at 86.5. He is also just 6 sacks behind Cowser for the all-time FCS record in sacks.

RECORDS UP FOR GRABSIn the Kats’ playoff win vs Chattanooga in 2016 wide receiver Yedidiah Louis moved past Matt Dominguez for the all-time Sam Houston mark in career receptions and has stretched that out to an SLC record 284 with 66 snags this year. In the season opener against Richmond he became just the third player in Southland Conference history to reach 3,000 yards receiving for a career and has since passed Dominguez for both the SHSU and SLC record for career receiving yards.

HONSHTEIN KEEPS CONNECTINGTre Honshtein booted a pair of field goals against the Owls and now has hit 20 of 25 tries this year with a long of 44 yards against Lamar. He is now tied with Miguel Antonio’s school record of 20 made field goals from the 2012 season. He has connected on 13 of his last 15 field goals since hitting a career-high 3 against Lamar on Oct. 21, including 4 of his last 5 from 40 yards or more.

ELLIOTT T. BOWERS STADIUM

30-PLUS SEASONS AT BOWERSDuring Sam Houston’s 100th season of football in 2015, the Bearkats also played their 30th year at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium.

Sam Houston owns a 136-44-1 record on the turf at Bowers. The Bearkats have gone 47-2 in their last 49 appearances at home and are 13-0 all-time in FCS playoff games at Bowers.

Known as Bearkat Stadium when the facility opened on Sept. 13, 1986, with a 24-6 vicotry over Montana State, the name was changed in 1989 to honor Dr. Elliott T. Bowers upon his retirement as Sam Houston State University President.

The Kats won their first 13 games at Bowers and have posted undefeated home seasons in 1986, 1987, 1990, 1992, 2001, 2004, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2017.

2017 SAM HOUSTON STATE FOOTBALL GAME NOTES

BEARKAT ATHLETICS• Sam Houston is one of only 2 league members to win the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup all-sports trophy 5 times (2005, 2006, 2007, 2013 and 2014). The Bearkats also have won the Southland men’s all-sports cups 5 times and 1 women’s cup.

• The Bearkats have won 7 Southland Conference football titles in their 32 years in the league including 44 league championships since 2000.

• The Bearkats won the 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling national championship. The Kat football team played in the FCS National Championship game in both Janu-ary of 2012 and 2013.

WHY THE K?Bearkats is spelled with a K to denote a creature that is more mythical than real. The name came from a popu-lar local saying from the 1920s “tough as a Bearkat!”

Sam Houston’s teams have been nicknamed Bearkats since 1923. Prior to that the sports teams were called “The Normals” since the Sam Houston was then a teacher’s schools.

ABOUT SAM HOUSTON STATE• Sam Houston State University is located in Huntsville, Texas, with the 316-acre campus approximately 65 miles north of downtown Houston.

• It was founded in 1879 and stands today as the third-oldest public university in Texas. Created to train school teachers, today’s Sam Houston offers a broad range of academic programs leading to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees.

• The university’s namesake, Sam Houston, was the first and third president of the Republic of Texas. Hous-ton was an American politician and soldier. His victory at the Battle of San Jacinto secured the independence of Texas from Mexico in one of the shortest decisive battles in modern history, lasting only 18 minutes.

• Sam Houston is buried in Huntsville not far from the campus of the University which is named in his honor. He was the only man in United States history to be governor of two states (Texas and Tennessee).

• The university, which is the 12th largest in Texas, passed the 20,000 student mark in enrollment in the spring of 2015 and currently boasts 20,477 enrollees.

• Sam Houston’s most recognizable alumnus is Dan Rather -- American journalist and former news anchor for CBS Evening News. The university named its mass communications building after Rather in 1994.

DECEMBER 1, 2001SAM HOUSTON 34, NORTHERN ARIZONA 31Matt Buss caught a 58-yard pass from Josh McCown to set up a 20-yard field goal by Alex St. Peter with no time remaining as the Bearkats pulled out a mircale finish for their first ever 1-AA playoff win in their first ever 1-AA home game. The 15th-ranked Lumberjacks scored two fourth quarter TDs to tie the game at 31-31 with 32 seconds remaining after SHSU had built a 24-14 halftime lead.

DECEMBER 4, 2004SAM HOUSTON 35, EASTERN WASHINGTON 34Down 20 points with 14 minutes to play, Dustin Long led a Bearkat rally that ended with the winning TD and PAT on the final play of the game. Jason Mathe-nia caught a school-record 13 passes for 226 yards and Long passed for 478 yards and three touchdowns against the Eagles in the NCAA 1-AA quarterfinals.

DECEMBER 16, 2011SAM HOUSTON 31, MONTANA 28A late fourth-down conversion clinched a Bearkat win over the Grizzlies as Sam Houston clinched its first-ever berth in the FCS Championship game behind a school-record 287 rushing yards by Timothy Flanders. Sam never trailed in the game, but was up just three in the fourth quarter. It was Flander’s 22-yard burst on 4th & 1 that sealed it as the Kats closed the game on 7 straight Flanders rushes.

DECEMBER 3, 2016SAM HOUSTON 41, CHATTANOOGA 36Sam Houston held off a furious Chattanooga rally to earn its third straight berth in the FCS quarterfinals in 2016. The Kats led 21-0 in the first half, but had to hold the Mocs on four straight downs inside the Bearkat 20 in the game’s final minute. Jeremiah Bris-coe threw five touchdowns in the game with his final setting an FCS single-season record with his 57th touchdown toss of the year.
