BEARKATS RECORD WATCH Sam Houston s 56-17 victory over Northwestern State Saturday marked the 28th victory for the Bearkats since Willie Fritz became SHSU head football coach. Those 28 victories (six in 2010, 14 in 2011 and eight so far in 2012) stand as the most by the Kats in any three consecutive years in the 97 seasons of Sam Houston State football. Ron Randleman put together 25 victories in three seasons in the late 1980s. Just as in last year s incredible run to a Southland Conference championship and the NCAA Division I football title game in Frisco, Bearkat records continue to fall or are in jeopardy. All-America running back and Walter Payton Award candidate Timothy Flanders produced his 22nd career 100-yard rushing performance Saturday, scoring two touchdowns. His 56-yard touchdown marked his ninth TD run of more than 50 yards. In the victory over Southeastern Louisiana, Flanders dashed 71 yards for the longest of his career. The Bearkats all-time leading rusher now is No. 2 in all-time Southland TDs (54) and in all-time Southland rush TDs (51) and No. 6 in Southland all-time rushing yards (3,679 yards) Flanders and kicker Miguel Antonio rank as Sam Houston s all-time top scorers with 284 points (43 field goals, 155 PATs). Only Flanders (324 points on 54 touchdowns) has scored more points. Junior Brian Bell is Sam Houston State s all-time winningest quarterback. A starter since SHSU s third game of the 2010 season (33 games), Bell has directed the Kats to 27 wins. Ronnie Choate played in 25 victories for Sam Houston from 1956 to 1959. Bell stands as Sam Houston s all-time leader in career TD passes (45). He ranks No. 2 at SHSU in career passing yards (5,333) and total offense (6,124). Rhett Bomar (2007-08) holds both records with 5,964 and 6,160 totals. Senior safety and last year s Southland Defensive Player of the Year Darnell Taylor is the fourth Bearkat defender to chalk up more than 200 career solo stops. Taylor has 214 solo tackles. The school career record is 215 by Stan Blinka (1975-78). Junior 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 game Saturday. 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. Senior cornerback Dax Swanson intercepted passes against Baylor and Texas Southern to up his career total to 12 interceptions. Ronnie Choate (1955-59) holds the SHSU career interception record with 13. Gary Kimble (1981-84) and Mark Hughes (2001-04) also picked off 12 career interceptions.

Only 29 returning lettermen and six seniors dotted the 90-man roster that fall. But the youngsters meshed together into a squad that won six of its final nine games in 2010, went 14-1 to reach the national championship game in 2011 and are 8-2 this season. Seventeen of the Bearkats 21 seniors this year have lettered on all three of the past Sam Houston teams.

Sam Houston ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation in nine NCAA statistics categories, standing No. 1 in rushing defense, No. 2 in scoring defense and turnover margin and No. 3 in total defense. The 14 victories, the most ever in one season by the Bearkats, included a perfect 7-0 Southland Conference record as SHSU earned its first undisputed Southland football championship. Sam Houston posted wins over five nationally-ranked opponents and went 9-0 at home at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium, one of 26 school records set during the 2011 campaign. Seven Sam Houston players received All-America honors. Fifteen Bearkats earned All-Southland Conference honors with Flanders, Sincere and Taylor sweeping league honors as Player-of-the-Year, Offensive Player-of-the-Year and Defensive Player-of-the-Year, respectively. Flanders rushed for 1,644 yards and 22 TDs and was named to six All-America squads in 2011. Taylor led SHSU with 128 tackles and was selected All-America on five honor teams. Other All-America honorees included Sincere, offensive linemen Travis Watson and Chris Crockett, defensive back Dax Swanson and defensive lineman J. T. Cleveland. The Kats were tops in the classroom as well. Sam Houston led the Southland Conference with seven selections on the 2011 academic all-league squad. Watson, a senior political science major, was named Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year and was a finalist for the National Football Coaches Association Scholar Athlete of the Year post-graduate scholarship award. Sam Houston head coach Willie Fritz received football s top coaching honor as American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS Coach of the Year. After directing the Kats to their best two-year record in 96 seasons of football (20-6), Fritz also was voted as Southland Conference, AFCA Regional and American Football Monthly Coach of the Year.
