FINAL:

UTEP 13  Southern Miss 31

The Miners are not only struggling, but need to seriously look at participating at this level going forward.

The league needs to consider that notion as well. Their membership is not productive.

They had 2.3 YPC on the ground for the contest behind 23 attempts with a 63 yard scamper from QB Kai Locksley washed away from the total.

FINAL:

Louisiana Tech 23  Rice 20 OT

The other Owls (-9 dogs) held the ball for 28 minutes longer than their counterpart and still couldn't get it done.

Feel bad for them, their 0-5 start is much better the record indicates.

FINAL:

Houston 46 North Texas 25

UNT QB Mason Fine tosses for 353 yards and 2TD in the Mean Green loss, in which they out-gained the Cougars 456 to 359 in total yardage.

OUCH!!! Another BAD week for CUSA with an 0-4 OOC record.

0-1 vs. Big10 and worse 0-3 vs. American. Only ODU was competitive and that was against a weak ECU with them only having not one (1) but two (2) FCS wins to show for til Sat.!!!

There for the taking Owls - DO IT!!!!!

After throwing for a season-high 351 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-13 conference-opening win over UTEP, Southern Miss junior QB Jack Abraham has been named the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week.

The Defensive Player of the Week honor went to WKU junior LB Kyle Bailey, who intercepted two passes, had seven tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss in the Hilltoppers 20-13 victory against UAB.

The Special Teams Player of the Week award was given to WKU freshman K Cory Munson, who had two field goals and a pair of extra points for an eight-point night in the Hilltoppers seven-point win over UAB.

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