Print/Broadcast Media in HuntsvilleThe local newspaper that covers the Bulldogs in-depth, is The Huntsville Times. The Times’ coverage is led by A&M beat writer Mark McCarter.

Three major television stations also cover the Bulldogs’ every move. The major affili-

ates of ABC (WAAY-31; Mark Freeman, sports director), CBS (WHNT-19; Ryan Cody, sports anchor), and NBC (WAFF-48; Scott Theisen, sports director) are all major contributors to the local coverage for Alabama A&M football.

Louis Crews Stadium PressboxThe home of the Alabama A&M Bulldogs is Louis Crews Stadium, and the gameday home to media members is the pressbox on the west side of the stadium. The pressbox is located on the second level of the facility and is accessible via the elevators located in the main ticket lobby. With tiered seating available for nearly 50 working press, cour-tesy phone lines for radio broadcasts, and high-speed internet connections (includ-ing wireless access), the pressbox is fully equipped to handle any media request.

Credential RequestsAll media credential requests are handled by the sports information office, Brandon Willis, director. All requests should be made by filling out the online application at least seven days prior to the event.

Working Press Area ConductIn accordance with NCAA and Southwestern Athletic Conference regula-tions, the working press area is to remain a neutral environment. No cheering is allowed at any time. Failure to abide by these standards may result in forfeiture of credentials and expulsion from the working press area.

Phone InterviewsThe A&M Sports Information office will make every attempt to fulfill phone inter-view requests for out-of-town media mem-bers. However, some requests may not be granted based on academic schedules and other team responsibilities. Mondays (after 9 a.m. CST) are most conducive to the team’s weekly schedule.

Interview requests for head coach Anthony Jones, his staff and A&M players should be directed to Brandon Willis. To make a request by phone, call 256-372-4005.

Anthony Jones will enter his 14th season as a head coach and the 12th as the leader of the AAMU Bulldog football program. In 2006, Jones led the Bulldogs to their first SWAC title and tied the school record with nine victories. The Bulldogs posted back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2005 and 2006. The 2006 SWAC Coach of the year has led A&M to five SWAC title games in ten seasons and enters the 2012 campaign with a 97-62 career record.

With his 79-49 record while at Alabama A&M, Jones ranks second among all coaches in wins Alabama A&M history. His .620 winning percentage stands four points behind the legendary A&M coach Louis Crews, who won 64 percent of his games over 16 years leading the Bull-dogs. Jones’ 79 wins at A&M rank second all-time behind Crews, who won 93 games at A&M. In 2005, Jones led the Bulldogs to their second SWAC East Championship under his reign, and a 9-3 record. The nine wins also earned Jones a milestone victory in the regular season finale, a 31-16 win at Prairie View served as the 50th win in Jones’ career.

The 2012 season saw the Jones squad start 6-0 for the first time during his 12 year career on “The Hill”. The 6-0 start was the first for AAMU since the 1966 team that was lead by Louis Crews. That year also saw the Bulldogs ranked as the 25th team in the football cham-pionship Subdivision. A&M also was ranked second for seven weeks in all three HBCU polls. The Maroon & White would unfortunately finish 6-4 with losses to Alcorn State during homecoming and the Magic City Classic.

After the Bulldogs posted tremendous 8-4 records in each of his first two seasons in 2002 and 2003, the team from the Rocket City capped off another outstanding season in 2004 with a 7-4 mark. With a 21-7 victory in the Magic City Classic Jones is 7-1 in his eight seasons against in-state rival Alabama State. The 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009 teams also captured the John Merritt Classic title, defeating Tennessee State in the season-opener. Alabama A&M remains the only visiting team to have beaten Tennessee State in the John Merritt Classic’s history.

Twice, Jones has led A&M to six-game winning streaks in his tenure. After two early losses in 2002, Jones’ Bulldogs won six straight and eight of nine to finish the regular season. The Bulldogs captured the SWAC East (6-1). This led to A&M’s second berth in the SWAC championship in three years. In 2005, after a disappoint-ing Homecoming loss to Texas Southern, the Bulldogs regrouped and won six straight games to finish the regular season en route to another SWAC East title and a berth in the SWAC Championship game. The 2009 season saw three two game win streaks and victories over Jackson State (13-5) and Mississippi Valley (17-12) in the final two contest of the season to earn Jones his fourth SWAC East championship and title game appear-ance where the Maroon & White fell 24-30 to Prairie View A&M. Last season Jones took his (3-8) 2010 squad and changed them into the 2011 Eastern Division champions advancing to their fifth conference championship contest. That year also marked seven straight victories for the Bulldogs after starting the season 0-2. The streak, noted as a first in Jones history, also included three television appearances, his 90th career victory and his eighth ca-reer Magic City Classic victory. Jones was named SWAC Coach of the Year by CollegeSportsMadness.com.

Jones arrived at Alabama A&M from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he spent four years. After serv-ing as the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach in his first year with the Maroon Tigers, he was promoted to head coach in 1999. After going 2-8 in his first season, Jones led the Tigers to the first back-to-back eight-win seasons in school history. He was named SIAC Coach of the year both times. The 2000 campaign (8-3) qualified him and the Tigers as the second-most improved team in NCAA Division II.

Following his second consecutive eight-win season (8-2), Jones was one of three finalists for the 2001 Eddie Rob-inson Coach of the year Award along with Doug Williams (Grambling State) and Rick Comegy (Tuskegee). He was a finalist again in 2002, his inaugural season at AAMU when he became just the second coach in AAMU history to win the Magic City Classic and Homecoming in his first year as head coach (Ray Bonner in 1992). He was named to the Eddie Robinson Coach of the year Award in 2011 for the work he did during his tenth season.

Jones is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. He played col-lege football at Wichita State University for Willie Jeffries, where he earned several honors as a tight end, including the Ben Hustle Award (1981), and All-Missouri Valley Conference (1983). Following his senior season with the Shockers, Jones went on to play for the Redskins in the National Football League, where he helped Washington win the 1987 Super Bowl. The Redskins traded him to the San Diego Chargers during to the 1988 season, but Jones was forced to retire after suffering a knee injury before the next season.

In 1991 Jones joined the staff at Western Maryland College in Westminster, Maryland, where he served as the receivers/tight ends coach. Jones moved to South Carolina State University in 1992, where he rejoined his mentor, Willie Jeffries, as a defensive assistant. In 1993, he was promoted to offensive coordinator at SCSU, a

position that he held until his departure for Morehouse in 1998. In 1994, SCSU won the MEAC title and earned the Black College National Champions following a win over Grambling at the Heritage Bowl.

Jones and his wife, Valerie, have two sons, Drew and Julian.

Aug. 31, 2013 • Eddie G. Robinson • Grambling, LA. • 7,498

Normal – Head coach Anthony Jones moved one step closer to his to 100th victory career by claiming only his second win at Eddie G. Robinson stadium 23-9 over Grambling State.

As with any first contest there were a number of penalties as both teams combined for 18 flags. The Bulldogs collected nine of those for 131 yards.

“Our young people played really well,” said Alabama A&M coach Anthony Jones, whose lineup featured 15 new starters, plus a new punter and kicker.

“We made some mistakes but overall they played well, well enough to get the victory,” Jones said. “Now what we’re going to try to do is fix the mis-takes that we made and get ready for the next one.”

The game started fast as A&M forced a fumble on GSU’s first play of 2013. David Dagrin popped the ball out of Grambling’s Juwan Martin hand as he was being wrapped up by a host of Bulldogs. Senior Derrick Harris then jumped on it the secure the first turnover for the Maroon & White defense.

AAMU was unable to capitalize on the situation as the offenses’ first four plays accounted for no yards.

The first quarter would end in a scoreless tie after 29 plays were run by both teams with neither getting in the end zone. The one positive note was punter Rashad Anderson who had already collected a whopping 101 yards with his foot. His final punt of the first half pinned the Tigers on their one yard line. The second half started on a second and nine situation for Grambling which resulted in an incomplete pass that was broken up by newcomer Quentin Parks.

Alabama A&M’s first points of the new season came on the next play as Robert Nelson tackled the Tigers running back in the end zone for a safety giving A&M their first lead of the year 2-0.

“We had a lot of kids that stepped up tonight and played well,” defensive coordinator Brawnski Towns. “It started with the D-line. (Anthony) Lanier did a good job on pass rushing, also (Reginald) Bailey. The whole front line did a great job. The secondary played well for the first game out, with some new people.”

That score led to the Bulldogs first touchdown which came after an eight play 33 yard drive that saw Ball State transfer Barrington Scott dive into the end zone to push the lead to 9-0.

Grambling would finally get on the board with a 20 yard field goal on the very next drive.

Knowing he would feel comfortable with a bigger lead the Jones led squad grabbed an interception from Grambling when senior Tremaine Shepherd picked the ball off over the middle. AAMU then scored another touch-down when Brandon Wells connected with tight end Toriono Upshaw for their first TD of the year. The score gave AAMU a 16-3 lead at half-time.

On the first drive of the new half A&M used a seven play 78 yard drive to add to their lead 23-9. Wells once again found a receiver this time it was Montauirus Smith who caught a 24 yard score for his first touchdown.GSU finally found some life after Wells threw his first interception. That turnover led to their first TD of the year when J. Runner found the end zone for a four yard score.

A&M then ran the ball for the final two and a half minutes and secured Jones 98th career win, 80th Bulldog victory, first in the month of August and first of the 2013 season.

The win was Jones second ever in the iconic stadium and second straight in Grambling.

Starting quarterback Brandon Wells proved he was ready finishing 15 of 28 with two touchdowns and a pick. Wells also picked up 28 yards on nine carries. Barrington Scott rushed the ball 16 times for 77 yards and a score while Brandon Eldemire collected 21 yards on 10 rushes. Nelson finished the game with seven tackles, three for a loss of four yards and a safety. An-

derson ended his first collegiate game punting for 202 yards averaging 40.4 with three being pinned in the 20 yard line. His longest was 58 yards.

Grambling was led by Nicholas Peoples who secured 10 stops for and a sack for seven yards. Cedric Skinner rushed for 73 yards while quarterback D. J. Williams ended the game six of 20 for 62 yards.

A&M now prepares themselves to play in-state rival Tuskegee University in the fourth annual Louis Crews Classic and 22nd Hall of Fame game.

Game 1 • A&M 23 vs. Grambling 9

Game 2 • A&M 7 vs. Tuskegee 23Sept. 7, 2013 • Louis Crews Stadium • Huntsville, Ala. • 13,267

NORMAL – In what was a tough battle in Birmingham last season turn into a man handling this year.

The Tuskegee Golden Tigers scored two straight touchdowns within the first six minutes of action in route to their first Louis Crews Classic victory 23-9.

A&M could not find any offense as starting quarterback Brandon Wells went 18 for 37 for 217 yards and 35 on the ground after 10 attempts. Barrington Scott rushed the ball 16 times but accumulated only 22 yards. Montaurius Smith led the receiving corps with five receptions for 59 yards, while Terrance Pride totaled five catches for 56 yards.

"We had our chances but mistakes doomed us," head coach Anthony Jones mentioned.

Of the 12 drives the Bulldogs saw, the first two ended in fumbles, six ended in punts, two finished on downs while a missed field goal and the lone touchdown rounded out the Bulldogs offense in their second contest of 2013.

After the quick start by the Tigers, AAMU had to regroup and put a drive together. Although they were able to produce a six and seven play drive both ended in punts. Tuskegee, on the other hand, would then score a 34 yard field goal to push the score in their favor 17-0 at halftime.

AAMU did have a few bright spots in the first half as senior Derrick Harris ended one of TU's drives with his first interception of the year.

The second half started with drives by both teams ending in punts and a Maroon & White missed field goal. A&M had a chance when a Tuskegee punt was shanked and landed one yard from the line of scrimmage giving AAMU the ball on the visitor's 29 yard line. But after seven plays they still could not add points to the scoreboard as Cesar Ramon missed his first field goal try of the year.

The Anthony Jones led squad finally got on the board after a nine play 60 yard drive that saw Scott score his second TD of the season produc-ing a score of 17-7 going into the fourth quarter.

The boy's in Maroon never gave up throwing the ball and running with authority throughout the game but the Tigers were on point look-ing like a team that had played multiple contests and not their first.

Tuskegee would add another score when Justin Nard connected with Marque Gardner for 56 yard touchdown that sealed the deal for the Tigers first win over A&M since 2008 and first by any visiting team in the four year old Louis Crews Classic.

The Tigers QB Nard went 11-18 for 206 yards and a touchdown. Ra-shad Burkett led TU in rushing with 33 yards on three tries. Quavon Taylor secured 12 tackles for the Maroon & Gold.

The Maroon & White will regroup and now get ready to hit the road

for two straight weeks of contests first in South Carolina for a date with the Bulldogs of South Carolina State on Saturday, September 14.

Game 3 • A&M 0 vs. South Carolina State 32

Sept. 14, 2013 • Oliver C. Dawson • Orangeburg, SC. • 11,146

NORMAL – The Alabama A&M Bulldogs could not find any scoring as the fast paced Bulldogs of South Carolina State blanked them 32-0 Saturday night in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

"When you play a young team you never know how they are going to play," said head coach Anthony Jones. "In the same regard we can't keep using we are young three games into the season, we have to grow up."

The Bulldogs used three different quarterbacks in hopes of putting points on the board. Starting QB Brandon Wells threw two interceptions and was sacked three times before being replaced by the strong arm Jaymasion (Jam-ma-son) Lee. Lee played most of the time finishing his first division one contest 13 of 34 for 187 yards and a pick. California native Chris Leachmen connected one time with a receiver after three attempts.

Barrington Scott led the team in rushing with 40 yards on 16 carries, his sec-ond straight game with that number of rushes. Scott also caught three passes for 45 yards with a long of 31. Junior Montaurius Smith led all receivers with five receptions for 77 yards.

A&M did have a record tying player as Robert Nelson tied Johnnie Baldwin and Lionel Macklin with 17 tackles in a game.

"It's a great accomplishment but we lost the game so it doesn't feel as good as it should," said Nelson. "I tried to fly around and make as many plays as I could. The defense did well as a whole, everybody worked hard."

For the third straight game Rashad Anderson collected over 200 yards punting posting 292 on eight carries averaging 36.5. His longest was 55 yards with two landing inside the 20 yard line. Corey Johnson also totaled a career high with 10 tackles.

Only two of the Maroon & Whites drives went double digit plays. Lee's drive right before halftime was ended on a Scott fumble. The second double digit drive ended when the Bulldogs went for it on fourth and goal and was stopped short.

SCSU was fast from beginning to end never huddling, lining up and running plays as soon as the previous one ended. The South Carolina State Bulldogs scored 13 points in the first quarter, seven in the second and 12 in the third to claim their first victory in 2013.

SCSU's Richard Cue went 9 for 19 for 147 yards and a touchdown. Eight different players ran the ball for the Bulldogs totaling 238 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Their leader was Dondre Brown who secured 64 yards on 12 carries. Nick Belcher posted nine points with his foot going 3 of 4 on field goals.

This is the second straight contest A&M has been held under 200 passing yards and under 100 yards rushing.

"We traveled more players and played a few but it didn't help us today," Jones mentioned. "We cranked things up in practice this week in order to mimic what we were going to see."

"We will go back to practice next week and get things cleaned up and get ready for our conference play."

Although the Maroon & White have only scored seven points in the last two games they are still 1-0 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play. That part of the schedule begins next Saturday, September 21st when they travel to Houston, Texas to face the Prairie View A&M Panthers.
