C-USA Football: Games for Week of 11-19-16


West Division Champion Louisiana Tech (6-1, 8-3) and East Division-leading WKU (6-1, 8-3) are both idle this week, but there is plenty to be decided in Conference USA Football.
 
Old Dominion (5-1, 7-3) is the one other team that could still earn a spot in the C-USA Championship Game and the Monarchs will visit Florida Atlantic, winners of two straight.
 
A game with huge bowl implications takes place in Denton, where North Texas hosts Southern Miss. The Mean Green need a victory here and at UTEP in the final week to reach bowl-eligibility for the first time since 2013, while one more win puts Southern Miss into bowl-eligibility for the second straight season.
 
Charlotte, like North Texas, maintains bowl hopes, but must get wins in their final two games, beginning with Saturday’s home contest against Middle Tennessee, a team that is already bowl-eligible.
 
Texas foes UTEP and Rice meet in Houston, while East Division rivals Marshall and FIU meet in Miami. UTSA closes out its non-conference schedule with a game at No. 22 Texas A&M.

Wow, what a game! Really thought Charlotte could pull it out, especially with how the last 7 or so minutes went. But Middle's ground game came in clutch.

FINAL:

Southern Miss 23 at North Texas 29

The Mean Green can become Bowl Eligible with a win over UTEP (very doable) next week.

FINAL:

ODU 42 at Florida Atlantic 24

After throwing for a career-best 416 yards and five touchdowns in a road win at Florida Atlantic, Old Dominion senior QB David Washington has been named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week.

The Defensive Player of the Week honor went to North Texas sophomore DB Nate Brooks, who had two interceptions, a forced fumble and six tackles in a victory over Southern Miss.

The Special Teams Player of the Week award was given to North Texas junior K Trevor Moore, who had another perfect day kicking in the Mean Green’s win.

C-USA Football Players of the Week are voted on by a panel of the league’s media.
