04/14/12 – University of South Florida Green and Gold Bowl Spring Game

Posted on 14th April 2012 in Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Contributors, Jason Roberts, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Sports, University of South Florida

The first half of Saturday being spent in the Orlando area photographing the University of Central Florida’s annual spring game for the first time, Envision Sports Media made a quick return trip west on I-4 and arrived in Tampa just in time for the start of the University of South Florida’s Green and Gold Bowl Game, the first of two “official” spring scrimmages held by the Bulls this year.

A spirited contest played on the soccer field at Corbett Stadium, fans enjoyed comfortable temperatures and the golden colors of a Southwest Florida setting sun as Skip Holtz’s 2012 quarterback corps , headed up by fifth-year senior B.J. Daniels (18-of-24 passing with two touchdowns), put up an impressive 550 yards passing, ten touchdowns and completed passes to 19 different players.

Here, Envision Sports Media’s Jason Roberts provides a collection of images captured during Saturday’s scrimmage, which ran approximately 150 plays in length. As usual, all materials included within this post remain the sole property of Jason Roberts, Envision Sports Media and the University of South Florida and may not be used without explicit permission of all parties involved.

04/14/12 – University of Central Florida Spring Football Game

Posted on 14th April 2012 in Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Contributors, Jason Roberts, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Sports, University of Central Florida

Wednesday’s trip to the University of Central Florida not only provided Envision Sports Media with the opportunity to officially work with the University of Florida’s softball program for the first time, but also revealed that the Knights would just three days later be holding their annual spring football game. Looking for an opportunity to branch out and take on a new challenge, Envision Sports Media requested and received permission to photograph the scrimmage the following afternoon, and, thanks to Brian Ormiston of the UCF Athletic Communications Department, was along the sidelines Saturday afternoon to capture all the action of one of the most prestigious programs in Conference USA.

Here, Jason Roberts of Envision Sports Media provides a selection of images from Saturday’s spring game, which put on display the throwing ability of quarterback Blake Bortles (27-of-45 passing for 239 yards and a touchdown) and a one-two punch at running back with Storm Johnson and Latavius Murray that combined for 15 carries, 100 yards rushing and a touchdown in the game.

01/07/12 – BBVA Compass Bowl

Posted on 7th January 2012 in Andy Mitchell, Big East Conference, Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Conference USA, Contributors, Frank Mattia, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Sports, University of Pittsburgh

Coverage of the 2011-12 college football bowl season by Envision Sports Media drew to a close this Saturday as contributing photographers Andy Mitchell and Frank Mattia traveled to Birmingham, Alabama to be along the sidelines at Legion Field for match up between Southern Methodist University and the University of Pittsburgh in the 2012 BBVA Compass Bowl.

The Mustangs surprised many of the 29,726 in attendance for one of the final post-season contests of the new year, using a convincing blend of defense – including seven sacks of Pitt’s quarterback – and a high-octane offense to defeat the Panthers 28-6 and hand a Conference USA team its first win in three attempts at the BBVA Compass Bowl.

Here, Andy and Frank both provide Envision Sports Media viewers a collection of images each captured during the course of SMU’s win.

12/31/11 – 2011 Chick Fil A Bowl Game

Posted on 31st December 2011 in Andy Mitchell, Atlantic Coast Conference, Auburn University, Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Contributors, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Southeastern Conference, Sports, University of Virginia

Bowl games in the state of Florida weren’t the kindest to us this post-season (first time in our three-year existence we’ve been shut out), but Envision Sports Media still made positive inroads in late December, with Frank and Robyn Mattia and Brian Church not only onsite for the 2011 Music City Bowl on December 30, but Frank and contributor Andy Mitchell also making this year the first ESM has ever been allowed on the sidelines for the annual Chick Fil A Bowl on New Year’s Eve in Atlanta, Georgia.

Celebrating this special accomplishment, Andy provides ESM readers with a collection of images highlighting all the action from this year’s game, a contest which pitted Auburn University against up-and-coming ACC powerhouse, the University of Virginia.

Despite being shorthanded at both quarterback and running back – the Tigers did not play Clint Moseley (ankle injury) or Michael Dyer (suspension) – Auburn nevertheless purred on the offensive side of the ball, defeating the Cavaliers by a score of 43-24.

12/30/11 – 2011 Franklin American Music City Bowl Game

Posted on 30th December 2011 in Atlantic Coast Conference, Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Contributors, Frank Mattia, Mississippi State University, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Sports, Wake Forest University

The second of Envision Sports Media’s post-season bowl games found Frank and Robyn Mattia in the city of Nashville, Tennessee as the 2011 Franklin American Music City Bowl hosted the Mississippi State University Bulldogs and Wake Forest University Demon Deacons in a late December clash which saw MSU emerge victorious 23-17 in no small part to a career-day running by tailback Vick Ballard.

Ballard finished the contest with 180 yards on the ground, just seven yards short of the bowl rushing yards record set by the University of Minnesota’s Marion Barber III back in 2004.

Here, Frank and Robyn offer ESM readers a selection of images highlighting all the action between the Bulldogs and Demon Deacons.

12/08/11 – Home Depot College Football Awards

Posted on 8th December 2011 in Award Programs, Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Contributors, Home Depot College Football Awards, Jason Roberts, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Sports

A special treat for Envision Sports Media this past Thursday night, as Jason Roberts carried on a tradition set into motion last year by Katie Carlson in covering the annual Home Depot College Football Awards, held once more at Atlantic Hall on the Boardwalk at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. A ceremony celebrating the biggest and brightest names in college football – this year was no different, with attendees ranging from Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and Baylor passer Robert Griffin III to running backs Trent Richardson (Alabama) and Montee Ball (Wisconsin) and receivers Ryan Broyles (Oklahoma) and Justin Blackmon (Oklahoma State) – the nationally televised event, aired by ESPN each December, identifies the winners of some of the most prestigious awards related to the sport as handed out at the end of each regular season. From the Maxwell to the Bednarik, the Biletnikoff to the Ray Guy and Disney Spirit Award, the Home Depot College Football Awards very much serve as a star-studded precursor to the naming of the Heisman Trophy winner the following Saturday, carrying with it all the splendor, glamour and red carpet action one would expect of a major Hollywood production. And, of course, this December’s edition was no exception. A tremendous thank you to Elizabeth McCullom for allowing ESM to be part of the HDCFA for a second-straight time!

Here, Jason provides a sampling of images taken both prior to and during the Home Depot College Football Awards.

12/03/11 – Atlantic Coast Conference Football Championship

Posted on 3rd December 2011 in Atlantic Coast Conference, Clemson University, Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Contributors, Frank Mattia, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Sports, Virginia Tech

For the third-straight year, Envision Sports Media was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of the annual Atlantic Coast Conference football championship, which, in its second year in Charlotte, North Carolina, played host to the Clemson University Tigers and Virginia Tech Hokies.

With Jason Roberts tied up with basketball shoots in Miami, this year’s ACC Championship photography found ESM contributor Frank Mattia and his wife, Robyn, along the sidelines as the Tigers surprised the Hokies with a lopsided 38-10 win – and, in doing so, earned a bid to represent the ACC in January at the 2012 Orange Bowl in Miami.

Here, Frank offers a collection of images captured during Saturday night’s game.

11/12/11 – LaGrange College Football

Posted on 12th November 2011 in Collegiate, Collegiate Football, Contributors, Jason Roberts, LaGrange College, Programs / Teams / Organizations, Sports

An early turnaround trip back to South Florida Saturday morning found Jason Roberts of Envision Sports Media traveling to Ave Maria University in order to photograph LaGrange College football against the Gyrenes. Played on the grounds of Panther Ridge High School, located approximately 15 miles west of Ave Maria’s campus, LaGrange wasted little time in taking control of the contest, with the aptly named Panthers ultimately securing a 43-7 win on the road to close out its 2011 regular season schedule.

Here, Jason provides a set of images highlighting the action from Saturday’s contest between LaGrange and Ave Maria.

Envision Sports Media’s Frank Mattia headed to Athens, Georgia this Saturday in order to photograph New Mexico State University as the Aggies played a late-season non-conference match up against the University of Georgia Bulldogs. Though an eventual route by the latter, Frank captured plenty of images of the Aggies on both sides of the ball and offers the following collection of photographs to highlight this weekend’s contest between the hedges of Sanford Stadium.

A long trip from Tampa, Florida to Greenville, North Carolina on Friday night and Saturday morning found Envision Sports Media’s Jason Roberts traveling to East Carolina University to photograph Tulane University football as it took on the Pirates. A chilly, windy late afternoon kickoff under cloudy skies embodied the perfect setting in which to celebrate both Autumn and Homecoming time at ECU, with the Pirates eventually pulling out an impressive 34-13 win at home over the Green Wave. Here, Jason provides viewers with a collection of images from pre-game to post-game of Saturday’s match up, with the majority focusing on both sides of the ball for Tulane.
