FAU 34  ULL 37

Owls drop a heart breaker as Cajuns march from their 10 yard line to kick the winning FG with :02 left.

FINAL:

UAB 23  TROY 24

Summary:

The Sun Belt goes 2-1 in OOC action for the week, and FAU and WKU encounter losses to ULL and ASU respectively.

Here's the Sun Belt players of the week for week Five…not so sure I agree with the two ULL selecitons. Granted they won the game, but would the K be getting the nod should they have lost considerig he boffed two FG attempts; and one was lke 26 yards?

Offensive Player of the Week

Ryan Aplin (Arkansas State, Jr., QB)

ASU junior quarterback Ryan Aplin set a new ASU record for completions in a game when he connected on 37 attempts Saturday in the Red Wolves’ 26-22 win at Western Kentucky. Aplin passed for a season-high 396 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions and also caught a touchdown pass against the Hilltoppers – his first career reception. With 2:39 remaining in the game, Aplin led the Red Wolves on what proved to be the game-winning drive when he completed 5-of-6 passes on a 9-play drive that ended with ASU in the end zone with 43 seconds remaining. The drive included a key 18-yard completion on third-and-17 to give ASU a first down at the WKU 11. For the game, Aplin completed passes to eight different receivers, topped 300 yards passing for the third time in his career and 200 yards for the 15th. He accounted for 424 yards of total offense and two TD’s in the game, his 37 completions are the ninth-most by any player in the nation this season, and he topped the 5,000-yard mark for career passing yardage with 5,213.

Cajuns kicker/punter Brett Baer turned in an epic performance for the second straight week, scoring 13 points in the Cajuns 37-34 victory…He connected on field goals of 47 yards and 46 yards, before hitting the game-winning 26-yard field goal as time expired…It’s the first win the for the Cajuns in the final 10 seconds of regulation since 2003…Baer also added four punts for 160 yards, an average of 40.0 per punt…He currently leads the Sun Belt Conference in scoring.
