2012 CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON REVIEW


SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS Sam Houston State University earned its second consecutive Southland Conference football championship with a 6-1 league mark in 2012. The title is SHSU’s fifth as a member of the Southland and ninth overall in 97 years of football. The Bearkats also won Southland titles in 1991, 2001, 2004 and 2011.

CONSECUITVE NCAA FINALS APPEARANCES Sam Houston State is one of only eight football programs to appear in consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Games. The list of other seven universities reaching the finals in back-to-back seasons during the tournament’s 34-year history includes Eastern Kentucky, Georgia Southern, Youngstown State, Marshall, Montana, Appalachian State and North Dakota State.

BACK-TO-BACK DOUBLE DIGIT WIN SEASONS For the first time in Sam Houston’s 97 years of football, the Bearkats pro-duced double digit victories in consecutive seasons. The SHSU football team rolled to a 14-1 record in 2011 and followed up with an 11-4 mark in 2012. Both years, the Bearkats won the Southland Conference title then posted three consecutive playoff victories for back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division I Football Championship game at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

KATS 2012 RUN TO THE FINALS The 2011 Bearkats’ 14-0 run to the NCAA Division I Football National Cham-pionship game was incredible. But few can argue that the 2012 team’s road back to Frisco for a rematch with defending national champion and No. 1 North Dakota State is even more amazing. After a heart-breaking loss at Central Arkansas where the Bears scored 14 points in the final five minutes to upset the defending Southland Conference champion 24-20, Sam Houston State stood 1-2 and on the brink of having the team’s repeat playoff hopes dashed all together. The team responded. After the UCA loss in Conway, Sam Houston went 10-1 with the only loss to Football Bowl Subdivision No. 8 and Cotton Bowl bound Texas A&M. Seven of those 10 victories came on the road.

KATS SUCCESSFUL AWAY FROM HOME Traveling and winning big have become a habit for the Bearkats. During the past two seasons, the Kats have won an impressive 13 games out of 17 trips away from Bowers Stadium. Sam Houston’s seven victories outside of Huntsville during the 2012 season is a school single season best. The Bearkats out-scored their opponents away from home 404 to 233. That included 28 points against Cotton Bowl champion Texas A&M (more than either Oklahoma or FBS champion Alabama posted in their losses to the Aggies).

ROUTE TO FRISCO WENT THROUGH BIG SKY To reach the finals, Sam Houston defeated each of the three teams that ended the regular season as tri-champions in the Big Sky. The Bearkats eliminated No. 12 Cal Poly in the second round, No. 2 Montana State in Bozeman in the quarterfinals and No. 4 Eastern Washington in the semifinals Eastern Washington was the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Division I Football Championships. Montana State was the No. 3 seed. Sam Houston, No. 5 in the final regular season Sports Network and NCAA Coaches polls, was unseeded in the championships. Sam Houston is 5-0 against the Big Sky the past two years with wins over Montana State and Montana in last year’s quarterfinals and semifinals.

BEARKATS’ NCAA PLAYOFF HISTORY Sam Houston’s 2013 trip to Frisco marked the eighth time a Southland Conference member has reached the NCAA Division I Football championship game. Sam Houston has been a member of the playoff field six times (1986, 1991, 2001, 2004, 2011 and 2012). The Bearkats are 6-0 in NCAA playoff games on their home field at Bowers Stadium. SHSU is 3-4 in road playoff encounters and 0-2 at neutral sites.

THE BEARKATS AND ESPN The national championship game marked the eighth SHSU football game on the ESPN family of networks in the past two years. The telecast also was the Bearkats’ 20th appearance on national or regional television since the 2011 season began.

BEARKATS IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS Sam Houston finished its 97th football season No. 2 in both the Sports Network and NCAA FCS Coaches polls. The Bearkats’ No. 2 rankings each of the past two years represent the program’s highest NCAA final national rankings Sam Houston has been ranked among the FCS top 25 a total of 24 consecu-tive weeks since debuting in the national poll on Sept. 9, 2011. During an 11-0 regular season in 2011, the Kats rose all the way to No. 1. Sam Houston has been ranked among the FCS top 10 for 20 consecutive polls. Prior to the past two seasons, the Bearkats’ highest national ranking was No. 3 following a 2004 NCAA Championship semifinal appearance.

SAM HOUSTON AMONG THE NATION’S STIATISTICS LEADERS The Bearkat offense ranked No. 2 in FCS in scoring (40.0), No. 7 in rushing offense (268.3) and No. 10 in total offense (458.5). The SHSU defense’ ended No. 6 in FCS rushing defense (98.5).

BEARKAT OFFENSE POSTS 600 POINTS IN 2012 The Sam Houston offense rolled up 600 points during the 2012 season including 77 touchdowns and 20 field goals. Mississippi Valley State and Georgia Southern are the only other NCAA Divi-sion I FCS team to score more points in a single season.

“WINNINGEST” THREE YEARS IN BEARKAT HISTORY Sam Houston’s victory at Eastern Washington marked the 31st victory for the Bearkats since Willie Fritz became SHSU head football coach. The 31 victo-ries (six in 2010, 14 in 2011 and 11 in 2012) stand as the most by the Kats in any three consecutive years in the 97 seasons of Sam Houston football. Ron Randleman (head coach from 1982 to 2004) put together 25 victories in three seasons in the late 1980s. Willie Fritz was a graduate assistant and later assistant coach for Randleman at SHSU.

RUNNING BACK TIMOTHY FLANDERS All-America running back and two-time Southland Conference football “Player of the Year” Timothy Flanders holds 34 Sam Houston school records. The Midwest City, Okla., product stands as Sam Houston’s all-time rushing leader with 758 carries for 4,234 yards and 52 touchdowns. He broke the former school record of 2,688 career yards held by Charles Harris (1991-94) in the Bearkats’ season opening victory over Incarnate Word last fall. Flanders ranks as the third all-time leading rusher in Southland Conference history. Only Claude Mathis of Southwest Texas (4,694 yards in 1994-97) and Henry Field of McNeese State (4,358 yards in 1992-95) have gained more yards. With 52 career rushing touchdowns, Flanders is tied with Charles McDaniel of Lamar (1971-74) for most career rushing TDs by a Southland back. Flanders is No. 2 in Southland total touchdowns with 55 (behind Brent Grimes of Central Arkansas, 59). Flanders has eight touchdown runs of more than 50 yards to his credit. His 71-yard touchdown against Southeastern Louisiana this year is his longest gain.

SEMIFINALS SPECIALIST Timothy Flanders’ best two rushing performances both came in NCAA Division I Championships semifinals victories. Flanders rushed 26 times for 287 yards in the win over Montana in Huntsville in the 2011 semifinals. In the 2012 victory at Eastern Washington, he carried 34 times for 231 yards. That’s a total of 518 yards rushing in the two semifinals combined. Both games came down to big first downs to allow the Bearkats to run out the clock to insure victory against a team that a rallied to come within one score of winning. Flanders carried 22 yards on a fourth & one situation at the SHSU 47 in the Montana win in 2011. He gained five yards on a third & three play at EWU 21 at Cheney.


SAM HOUSTON STATE BEARKAT FOOTBALL NOTESQUARTERBACK BRIAN BELL Brian Bell stands as Sam Houston’s all-time “winningest” quarterback, lead-ing SHSU to 30 victories as a starter the past three seasons. The junior from China Spring stands as Sam Houston’s all-time leader in both passing and total offense yards with 6,165 yards in the air and 7,080 yards rush-ing and passing combined. Bell’s 52 career touchdown passes also is an SHSU school mark..

CORNERBACK BOOKIE SNEED Cornerback Bookie Sneed snapped a Sam Houston record that had stood since 1968 with his 92-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter of the SFA victory. Paul Wenzel returned an interception 90 yards against Sul Ross for the Kat mark that stood for 44 years. Sneed has picked off four interceptions this year and eight in his career.

FRESHMAN WIDE RECEIVER CHANCE NELSON Wide receiver Chance Nelson, a transfer from Texas A&M, caught 35 passes for 671 yards and nine TDs as a freshman in 2012. He scored on a 61-yard pass at Texas Southern and a 70-yard strike against Southeastern La. In the Montana State win in Bozeman, Nelson scored on passes of 16 and 45 yards.

BLOCK PARTY RETURNS A Bearkat tradition established by head coach Willie Fritz when he was an assistant at Sam Houston in the early 1990s has returned. The SHSU “Block Party” has produced six blocks in each of the past two seasons. After Fritz started the “Block Party” in 1991, Sam Houston blocked 80 punts, field goals and extra points in the next 14 seasons.

LEADS AT INTERMISSION Only in the Bearkats’ 47-28 loss to FBS No. 8 Texas A&M in the regular season finale did Sam Houston trail at halftime this year. In SHSU’s other two regular season losses, the Kats led Baylor 20-10 and Cen-tral Arkansas 10-7 at intermission. In Sam Houston’s 10 victories, the Bearkats have out-scored their foes 305-101 in the first half. Sam Houston and North Dakota State were tied 10-10 at half.

The SHSU offense had eight third down conversions to the Aggies’ three and was 2-of-2 on fourth downs.

BEARKATS VS. HEISMAN WINNER While Texas A&M Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns against Sam Houston in the Bearkats’ regular sea-son finale in College Station Nov. 17, the Kat defense had its moments against Johnny Football. Dax Swanson intercepted a Manziel pass (Swanson’s 13th career intercep-tion, tying an SHSU school record). Jesse Beauchamp sacked the Heisman winner for a loss of nine yards. Manziel is the third Heisman winner Sam Houston has faced. The Bearkats played against Andre Ware of Houston his freshman season in 1987 at the As-trodome and Robert Griffin III of Baylor in Willie Fritz’s first game as SHSU coach in Waco in 2010.

BIG CROWDS VIEWED THE KATS IN 2012 Playing in front of packed stadiums is nothing new for the Bearkats.

The past three years, the Bearkat-Lumberjack rivalry has brought more than 25,000 fans to Reliant Stadium in Houston, the largest crowd ever in the state’s history for an FCS battle. The event provided a stage for Sam Houston to gain exposure in a city in which more than 65,000 university alumni call home. The series began in 1923.

He was the secondary and special teams coach for Sam Houstno in 1991-92, helping lead the Bearkats to a Southland Conference championship.

Willie Fritz’s family has become a part of Sam Houston athletics. Son Wesley Fritz played as a forward for the Bearkat men’s basketball team in 2011 and 2012. Daughter Elaine is a member of the Orange Pride, winners of the 2011 National Dance Association dance team open division championship.

In the 97-year history of Sam Houston State football, there has never been back-to-back seasons like 2011 and 2012. The 2011 Bearkats rolled up 14 consecutive victories to earn the program’s first No. 1 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) ranking and a berth in the NCAA Division I national championship game. The 2012 team took a more difficult route with only four games at home in Elliott T. Bowers Stadium (as opposed to nine for the 2011 squad). But the result was the same with the Kats back in Frisco for the national finals. Sam Houston has won back-to-back Southland Conference titles, winning 13 of 14 league games while out-scoring foes 643 to 168. The Bearkats led the league in rushing offense, scoring, pass efficiency rush defense, total defense and scoring defense both years. In 2013, Bearkat head coach Willie Fritz and his staff return 40 lettermen including 11 starters back from the 11-4 championship team. The includes seven players who earned All-Southland honors last year. Heading the list of six returning starters on offense are running back Timothy Flanders, quarterback Brian Bell and wide receiver/wildkat back Richard Sincere. Flanders, two-time Southland “Player of the Year” and a Walter Payton award finalist in both 2011 and 2012, stands as Sam Houston’s all-time rushing and scoring leader. The senior from Midwest City, Okla., has rushed for 4,234 yards and 52 touchdowns and scored 330 points on the way to setting 34 Sam Houston school records. He has rushed for more than 100 yards in 25 games. Flanders ranks No. 3 in Southland rushing, starting the 2013 season 461 yards away from passing all-time leader Claude Mathis (4,694 yards in 1994-97 for Southwest Texas). Flanders is tied with Charles McDaniel (Lamar 1971-74) for the league career rushing TDs mark (52) and is four touchdowns behind Brent Grimes (59 TDs for Central Arkansas 2006-09) as all-time scoring leader Flanders has been named to 10 All-America squads the past two years including American Football Coaches Association first team and Associated Press second team honors. Bell stands as Sam Houston State’s all-time “winningest” quarterback. Since taking over as the Bearkat starter in the third game of the 2010 season, Bell has led the team to a record of 30 victories and only eight losses. He ranks No. 1 in Sam Houston career passing (6,165 yards), touchdown passes (52) and total offense yards (7,080). Sincere, a two-time All-Southland performer and 2011 Southland “Offensive Player-of-the-Year”, has rushed for 1,835 career yards and caught 47 passes for 824 yards. He has rushed for 19 scores and caught five TD passes.

2013 SAM HOUSTON STATE FOOTBALL OUTLOOK


Flanders, Bell and Sincere have combined for 23 plays of more than 50 yards as Sam Houston has gone 31-10 during their three seasons as Bearkats. Three other running backs who combined for 951 yards and 10 touchdowns also return. Junior Keshawn Hill was an honorable mention all-league selection after rushing for 530 yards and seven scores. Junior Ryan Wilson and senior Ridgeway Frank also return. Sophomore Chance Nelson and senior Torrance Williams also give the Kats deep threats. Nelson caught 35 passes for 671 yards and nine TDs as a freshman in 2012. Williams has totaled 1,294 career all-purpose yards and scored eight touchdowns in his three years as a Bearkat. Sophomore Brandon Wilkerson and Stephen Williams and junior Rickey Smith also return. The biggest question mark on offense for Sam Houston in 2013 is the front line. Guard Donald Jackson III, who was an honorable mention all-league selection and was named to an NCAA FCS freshman All-America squad last year, is the lone returning starter. Junior Matt Boyles started five games last year and has 20 starts in his career. The Kats could see several red-shirt freshmen stepping into starting roles. The Bearkat defense that has been so dominate the last two years, allowing just 12.0 points and 262.0 yards per game in Southland Conference action, will have to reload in 2013. Gone are six players who earned All-Southland honors a total of 15 times in the past three seasons including two-time league “Defensive Player-of-the-Year” Darnell Taylor. Defensive ends Jarrett Brown(21 career starts) and Andrew Weaver (17 career starts) and tackle Gary Lorance (34 career starts) bring experience to the front line as seniors. Lorance was second team All-Southland, Barrett an honorable mention all-league honoree while Weaver was named to an FCS All-America squad. The other two returning senior starters are linebacker Jesse Beauchamp and cornerback Bookie Sneed. Beauchamp is the team’s top returning tackler (94 stops). Sneed has 99 career tackles and 38 starts to his credit. Both received All-Southland honors on the 2012 team. Linebacker Eric Fieilo, who missed the 2012 season with an injury, has 105 tackles to his credit as a three-year letterman. Jeremy Jackson, Kevin Jackson and Jyvante Williams all lettered as backup linebacker. Cornerbacks Shelby Davis and Deantrey Loche and safeties Tristan Eche, Desmond Fite, Cory Hamlett and Michael Wade also saw action in the secondary as reserves last year. On special teams, the Kats must replace an All-Southland punter, kicker and return specialist.

With new marketing strategies, Williams and his staff have increased both campus and community attendance at all Bearkat intercollegiate athletics events and increased revenue generated from outside university sources from $600,000 to $2.4 million. Under his direction, the Bearkat Learning Enhancement Center, located in the Bowers Stadium Field House, opened in the fall of 1997. The facility allows Bearkat student-athletes access both to modern computers and to assistance from academic tutors. During his seven years as assistant athletic director, Williams’ duties included NCAA compliance, game management for home athletic contests, scheduling, facilities, tickets, marketing and concessions. As an assistant football coach, he tutored five cornerbacks who played in the National Football League. “Becoming a director of athletics was a lifetime goal. I have always been a goal oriented person,” said Williams. “As a secondary coach, we set and met important goals on teams that ranked among the nation’s defensive leaders. As an administrator, we set goals such as raising our department grade point averages, which we accomplished.


DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS BOBBY WILLIAMS “As director of athletics, we have set goals. We have strived to bring this department to the forefront in computer technology, to improve our athletes’ academic standing and retention rates and to increase our revenue through fund raising and monies generated from bigger crowds at games. “Three times in recent years, we achieved our most important goal -- winning the Southland Commissioner’s Cup All-Sports Trophy. Not only does this achievement prove that each of our sports teams is vital to our program, but also it demonstrates the importance and contributions of every student athlete. Our staff’s efforts will continue to be directed toward higher goals as we strive to make the Sam Houston experience the best it can be for our students.” Williams was a starter at wide receiver for the Rice Owls. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Rice University in 1981 and his Master of Arts from Rice a year later. His father, the late Bobby Williams, Sr., was a member of Rice University’s 1958 Cotton Bowl team and retired in 2002 after working as an NFL scout for the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. His mother, Carolyn, recently retired from the Dow Chemical Company. His wife, Janet, received her Bachelor’s degree and her Master’s degree from Sam Houston as have her father General Thomas Stone (distinguished alumni 1999 and football letterman 1955-56), mother Claudette, brother Keith (football letterman 1978-79) and sister Kelly (Master’s degree). Janet is a professor in the SHSU College of Education. The pair have two daughters, Audrey Kathryn and Alexandra Karolyn.
