One of the most consistent programs in the Ohio Valley Conference over the last decade has been the UT-Martin Skyhawks, the team Ole Miss opens the 2015 season against.
Under the direction of head coach Jason Simpson, the Skyhawks have won 58 games, a figure that ranks 10th best in OVC history. Simpson, a native of Ellisville in Jones County, is the longest tenured coach in the OVC, a conference that includes Jacksonville State, Murray State, Austin Peay, Tennessee State and Southeast Missouri, among others.
