The Sun Belt Conference is currently in the third year of four year partnerships with the GoDaddy.com Bowl and the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Sun Belt teams will continue to represent the league in the games following the 2012 and 2013 regular seasons.

Cristobal Continues to Build FIU

FIU’s Mario Cristobal is undoubtedly one of the hottest rising coaches in college football, taking over the FIU program in 2007 after spending time on Greg Schiano's staff at Rutgers (2001-2003) and Larry Coker's staff at Miami (2004-2006). Cristobal led the Panthers to their fi rst winning season in program history in 2010, winning a share of the Sun Belt Championship and then the Little Caesars Bowl. FIU also fi nished 8-5 in 2011 and received a bid to the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl. Cristobal has shown dedication to the Miami community as he was raised there, played, coached and earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees at the University of Miami and has been FIU’s head coach for fi ve seasons.

Sun Belt Football Championship Trophy to Honor Waters

The annual winner of the Sun Belt Conference’s football regular season will take home the H. Wright Waters Trophy as the league approved the honor at the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Spring Meetings. Waters served as Commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference from 1998 through 2012 and largely responsible for football becoming a league sponsored sport. The Sun Belt had been a viable entity on the nation’s collegiate athletic map since its founding in 1976, but Waters made the call for a serious approach to gaining access to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Due to his leadership the league played its inaugural season under his watch in 2001.

Malzahn Returns Home to Take Over at Arkansas State

Gus Malzahn was named the Red Wolves' 28th head football coach last December, bringing him back to his home state after most recently enjoying highly successful stints as a top assistant coach at three NCAA FBS universities that garnered national acclaim. Malzahn comes to Arkansas State after serving as the off ensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Auburn for the past three seasons. A native of Fort Smith, Malzahn was named the winner of the 2010 Frank Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top collegiate as-sistant coach. His innovative off ense made an immediate and profound impact during his tenure at Auburn, highlighted by a record-setting off ense in 2010 when the Tigers fi nished 14-0 and claimed the school's fi rst national championship since 1957. Malzahn's record-setting off ense in 2010 led the Southeastern Confer-ence and fi nished in the top 10 nationally in six statistical categories. He coached Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton during the Tigers run to the 2011 BCS National Championship. Under Malzahn's direction, Newton later became the overall No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft after producing one of the best single-season quarterback performances in collegiate history.

Carl Pelini Begins New Era at Florida Atlantic

Carl Pelini was named Florida Atlantic's second head coach in program history to replace the retired Howard Schnellenberger and brings more than 25 years of football experience to Boca Raton. The Ohio native was a defensive coordinator at Minnesota State Mankato (2004) and helped revitalize a struggling program at Ohio University where he was the defensive line coach for three seasons (2005-07). In 2008, he moved to Nebraska and assumed the position of defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. Pelini's role in the resurgence of Nebraska's defense has been recognized by his two-time nomination for the Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year Award. Prior to his time in the collegiate ranks, Pelini spent more than 10 years at the high school level.

OWL NOTESFlorida Atlantic University’s football team grabbed a 34-27 victory against Sun Belt Conference member Troy University on homecoming. It marked the fi rst SBC victory for fi rst year head coach Carl Pelini and the fi rst time the Owls have defeated Troy at home. The game wasn’t without its heroics. FAU held a 26-17 lead heading into the fourth. The Trojans scored twice and held a 27-26 with 1:49 left in the game. The Owls began their fi nal drive at their own 26-yard line. Senior Graham Wilbert moved the chains with a six-yard completion to William Dukes and a six-yard scramble. Wilbert then found senior Byron Hankerson for a 15-yard catch. Wilbert then alternated passes between Dukes and Nexon Dorvilus, who had six catches for a team-high 78 yards. Dukes also had six catches for 41 yards. While Dorvilus had two touchdowns on the night it was Dukes who had the game-winning catch with a 22-yard reception. The ground attack was led by Jonathan Wallace who had 87 yards. Defensively, Winfred Strickland had his fi rst career interception and a 32-yard return that led to a fi eld goal. Senior Brent Harstad led the Owls for the second consecutive week with 15 tackles.

FAU will next travel to the United States Naval Academy where the Owls will face Navy for the fi rst time in the program’s history.

WARHAWK NOTESLouisiana-Monroe and Louisiana-Lafayette will meet for the 48th time Saturday at Malone Stadium... ULL leads the all-time series 24-23 as it has won the last four meetings... ULM has dropped the last two meetings by a single point (L, 22-23, 2010; L, 35-36, 2011).

Saturday’s contest between the two teams will be the 20th meeting in Monroe, with the Warhawks holding a 10-9 advantage.

Since falling to Baylor in the home opener on September 21, the Warhawks have won fi ve straight games... It is the fi rst time ULM has won fi ve straight games since 1993 when it was a member of the FCS (1-AA) ranks... The fi ve game streak in 1993 lasted from October 16 to November 13.

The Warhawks are 4-0 in the Sun Belt for the fi rst time since joining the conference... ULM started the confer-ence season 3-0 in both 2005 and 2009 before dropping its fourth league game.

Not only are the Warhawks bowl eligible at 6-2, it is the best start for the program during the FBS-era (started in 1994)... The last time ULM was 6-2 after its fi rst eight games was in 1993.

Against South Alabama, Brent Leonard tied a single-game school record with four touchdown receptions... He is just the second player to accomplish the feat (Stepfret Williams, at Nevada, Oct. 14, 1995).

DaCorris Ford recorded his third interception of the season in the win over South Alabama... Ford leads the team with his three interceptions.

BLUE RAIDER NOTESThe win over North Texas not only erases the bad memory of a 59-7 defeat at the hands of the Mean Green last year but more importantly gives the Raiders a fi fth win. The 5-3 mark after eight games marks the third time under Rick Stockstill MT has started 5-3 with the other occasions being bowl years of 2006 and 2009. It also goes down as the earliest date to fi ve victories since 2001 (Oct. 6).

Wide receiver Kyle Griswould enjoyed a career day against North Texas with three catches for a personal-best 140 yards and two touchdowns. Griswould had scoring plays of 72 and 51 yards with the 72 yarder being a career long for the junior and the third longest play of the season by MT.

With 121 receiving yards, senior Anthony Amos ran his season total to 794 yards. That fi gure ranks 10th on the all-time single-season list at MT. Amos recorded his fi fth career 100-yard receiving game and fourth of the season in the win over North Texas. Amos fi nished with eight catches for 121 yards.

Quarterback Logan Kilgore registered his third career 300-yard passing game and the fi rst of the season with 349 yards against North Texas. Kilgore now ranks tied for second on the all-time list for 300-yard games with Clint Marks and Kelly Holcomb. It also went down as the 13th career 200-yard passing game and sixth of the season. Kilgore, who ranks third all-time in 200-yard games, is chasing all-time leaders Wes Counts and Clint Marks. Both had 18 for their career.

Middle Tennessee’s defense recorded multiple interceptions for the fi rst time since the GoDaddy Bowl against Miami, Ohio in 2011 (bowl of 2010 season). The Blue Raiders fi nished with three interceptions to give them six for the season which is one more than the team had all of 2011.

MEAN GREEN NOTESNorth Texas had three players rush for over 50 yards against Middle Tennessee, which is the fi rst time that has happened since last season against Indiana. However the Mean Green had three running backs top the 50-yard mark against the Blue Raiders, and it is the fi rst time since 2002 that North Texas has had three running backs go over 50 yards in a game. Brandin Byrd, Antoinne Jimmerson, and Jeremy Brown are the fi rst trio to rush for 50-yards since Kevin Galbreath, Patrick Cobbs, and Roy Bishop on November 2, 2002. Quarterback Derek Thompson topped the 200-yard passing mark for a career-best sixth straight time. Thompson is just the fourth player in school history to pass for 200-yards in six straight games and the fi rst since Giovanni Vizza in 2008. With four regular season games remaining, Thompson can tie the school record of 10 straight games with 200 yards passing, set by Mitch Maher in 1994. He now has 10 200-yard career passing games, which is fourth in school history.

Freshman Carlos Harris caught only his second career pass but his fi rst touchdown against MTSU.

Freshman running back Antoinne Jimmerson has rushed for 487 yards on the season, which is the third highest total by a freshman at North Texas since the 1997. Jimmerson has rushed for more yards as a freshman than the all-time leading rusher Lance Dunbar and Patrick Cobbs, who is second all-time. Only Jamario Thomas in 2004 (1,801) and Ja’Quay Wilburn in 1997 (594) have rushed for more yards than Jim-merson. He has rushed for fi ve TD’s, which is the most since Thomas in 2004 and the tied for the second highest total by a freshman since Darrin Collins in 1986.

JAGUAR NOTESSophomore Demetre Baker rushed for 115 yards on 14 carries in the Jaguars’ game at Louisiana-Monroe Saturday, the fi rst time a USA running back has surpassed 100 yards since he collected 111 in a win over Henderson (Ark.) State on Oct. 29 last fall. That included a 61-yard gain late in the fi rst quarter, the longest play from scrimmage for USA this season, that set up the fi rst score of the game. Baker is averaging 83 yards per game in Sun Belt Conference play. … Jeremé Jones caught a Jag season-best seven passes for 62 yards against the Warhawks, both totals that led the team in the contest. The sophomore had two touch-down receptions in the fi rst half, the fi rst time a USA player recorded multiple touchdown catches since Courtney Smith had a pair on Oct. 23, 2010, in a 24-21 victory at UC Davis; the eff ort also helped Jones tie the school season record Smith fi rst set in 2009 with fi ve scoring receptions this year. … ILB Enrique Wil-liams paced the Jags with 11 total stops in the ULM contest, the third game in a row that he has reached double fi gures in the category. It was the fourth time in the last fi ve outings, and the fi fth occasion this fall, that the junior has led USA in tackles. … PK Michel Chapuseaux connected on his only fi eld-goal attempt against the Warhawks from 27 yards to close out the scoring, his sixth straight successful kick leaving him one shy of equaling the school record set by Jordan Means from Sept. 17-Oct. 22 last year. The senior has converted 80 percent (8-of-10) of his attempts in league play, as he leads the squad with 55 points on the season. … Jake Johnson recorded nine tackles last time out, including two behind the line of scrimmage. The eff ort gave him 10½ stops for loss on the season, making him the fi rst player in program history to post double digits in the category. … Junior Ross Metheny has accounted for more than 200 yards of total off ense in each of the last three outings after collecting 226 against the Warhawks, as he has thrown for six scores against only two interceptions during that stretch. He fi nished with 211 yards through the air last time out on 21-of-41 passing — a school game record for attempts — while adding a career-long 21 yard run in the third quarter to help set up USA’s fi nal touchdown of the night. … Terrell Brigham was credited with a career-high eight solo tackles last time out, and he also accounted for the Jags’ lone takeaway of the game with an interception on the goalline in the fi rst quarter giving the sophomore a team-high-tying two on the year. He is averaging 8.3 stops per game the last three weeks.

HILLTOPPER NOTESfWith a 14-6 win at Florida International on Saturday, the Hilltoppers improved to 6-2 on the season and have become bowl eligible for the second straight season. WKU has now won 13 of its last 16 games dat-ing back to last season.

Senior defensive lineman Quanterus Smith had a career game with fi ve sacks against the Panthers – the most by any FBS player in a game this season. As a team, the Hilltoppers registered nine sacks against FIU, which ties USC for the third-highest sack total in a game in 2012.

Antonio Andrews fi nished with 27 carries for 158 yards – 108 of which came in the second half. It was Andrews’ sixth straight 100-yard game, which is the longest active streak by a running back in the nation. Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch has rushed for over 100 yards in seven straight games.

The Hilltopper defense forced four turnovers in the game — recovering three fumbles and interception a pass. That equalled the season-high for take aways. WKU also recorded four turnovers at Kentucky on Sept. 15.

In addition to three fumble recoveries, Cam Thomas intercepted a pass for the second straight game.

WKU has not allowed a touchdown to FIU 13:19 mark of the fourth quarter in the matchup in Miami in 2010. WKU won last year’s game by a 10-9 score, allowing three fi eld goals.

Tight end Jack Doyle recorded four fi rst-half receptions for 63 yards on Saturday, moving him within three catches of third second place on WKU’s career list. Doyle has at least three receptions in every game this season.The Hilltoppers continue to lead the nation in time of possession at 34:16 per game. The now have re-corded over 30 minutes of possession in 18 straight games dating back to last season.

WKU will have a short week of preparation before hosting Middle Tennessee Thursday night at 8:15 p.m. in a nationally televised game on ESPNU.

PANTHER NOTESGeorgia State (1-8) will face its fourth ranked team in fi ve weeks as the Panthers host Top 10 team Old Dominion (7-1, 4-1 CAA) in their fi nal home game Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at the Georgia Dome.

Playing at No. 9/10 James Madison, GSU rallied for two touchdowns in the fi nal 10 minutes before falling to the Dukes, 28-21.

Old Dominion, ranked No. 6 by the Sports Network and No. 7 in the FCS Coaches poll last week, defeated No. 20/16 Delaware, 31-26. The Monarchs lead all FCS schools in scoring off ense (44.63) and total off ense (565.5) and rank third in passing off ense (400.4). Quarterback Taylor Heinicke, an Atlanta native (Collins Hill HS), leads the nation in total off ense at 436.3 yards a game.

Old Dominion becomes the fi rst opponent that Georgia State will face for the third time in its brief history. The Monarchs won the fi rst two meetings, 34-20 in 2010 in Norfolk, and 40-17 in last year’s game, also played at the Georgia Dome.

Both schools will move to FBS conferences next season, with Georgia State going to the Sun Belt Conference and Old Dominion to Conference USA.

Saturday’s game is the fi nal home game for Georgia State head coach Bill Curry, who announced during preseason camp that the 2012 season will be his last on the sideline.

Curry was named GSU’s fi rst head coach on June 12, 2008 and has guided the program through its infancy. The former head coach at Georgia Tech, Alabama and Kentucky is in his 20th season as a collegiate head coach. He will remain at Georgia State as a special assistant to Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick and President Mark Becker.
