From its beginning in 1995, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. Throughout the changes during the C-USA history, the conference has held onto its strong foundation that reflects the league’s national presence. These 16 schools have compiled numerous athletic and academic achievements. Additionally, the C-USA footprint will grow by nearly 20 percent, while providing the geography that allows for a divisional scheduling model that will be beneficial to the studentathletes, fan-friendly and cost effective.

The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom, in addition to sport specific All-Academic teams.

As one the largest FBS conferences in 2013, C-USA membership will include institutions in 12 of the Top 65 television markets, eight in the Top 40 and four in the Top 25 media markets according to Nielson. C-USA home markets next year will include more than 14.5 million TV households, a 43 percent increase from a year ago.

C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK

The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of nontelevised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights and conference-produced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and that number just keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.

The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 16 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.

East Carolina noting the pirates • East Carolina returns 16-of-22 positional starters in 2013, eight on each side of the ball. The Pirates return 76 percent of their rushing yards and 88 percent of their passing yards, 78 percent of their tackles and 81.8 percent of their turnover production. Players who accounted for 349 of ECU’s 409 points (85 percent) are on the 2013 roster. • Junior WR Justin Hardy has 1,763 receiving yards in just two seasons to move into third place on the ECU career chart. Hardy has caught at least one touchdown in 17-of-23 career games and scored 12 times during the 2012 season. • Junior QB Shane Carden, who became the starting quarterback the third game of the 2012 season, finished with 3,116 yards and 23 touchdowns. Carden directly accounted for 31-of-45 of ECU’s offensive TDs and led drives that produced all 15 FGs. He established an ECU single-game record with 439 passing yards and the third-highest completion percentage (80.9) with career-bests in completions (38) and attempts (47) against Marshall. • Junior RB Vintavious Cooper, the C-USA Newcomer of the Year, reached 1,000 yards rushing on the season (1,049). He was the first Pirate back since Dominique Lindsay in 2009 to reach the mark and the sixth ECU runner to reach the 1,000 yards since 2000.

fiu noting the panthers • Ron Turner was named FIU head football coach Jan. 4, 2013, bringing with him experience coaching at the collegiate and NFL levels during a career that has now spanned more than five decades. Turner, who enters his 37th season coaching in 2013, has spent 24 seasons at the collegiate level with nine of those seasons as a head coach with Illinois and San Jose State. In his college seasons, he has led or been an assistant for programs that went to eight bowl games and produced numerous All-Americans and NFL draft picks. • The 2012 roster featured 52 student-athletes who had a combined 759 career starts (includes 76 appearances from the kicker and punter). Of those 52 student-athletes, 27 (or 52 percent) are listed on the 2013 fall roster. Those 27 student-athletes have a combined 175 starts (or 23 percent). FIU lost 25 student-athletes with a combined 584 career starts (or 77 percent). • Eighty-three percent of FIU’s fall roster (82-of-99 players) comes from the state of Florida. Twentyfour Florida counties are represented from the panhandle, to the first coast and all along the way through the local Tri-County area. Forty two percent of FIU’s roster (42-of-99 players) comes from the Tri-County (Miami-Dade 27, Broward 5 and Palm Beach 10) area.

Florida Atlantic 2012 individual leaders

noting the owls • Carl Pelini begins his second season as head coach at Florida Atlantic. His initial campaign in Boca Raton, Fla., saw the team improve its national ranking by more than 20 spots in scoring defense, turnover margin (+35) and sacks allowed. The team also saw a dramatic improvement in penalty yards per game, improving from No. 117 in 2011 (68.17) to No. 64 (51.15) last season. • The Owls return 53 letterwinners and 19 starters from last year’s team. The offense brings back seven starters, while the defense has eight returnees and three starters are back on the special teams unit. • Sophomore WR William Dukes earned second-team all-conference honors last season and was named the team’s offensive MVP. He was the wire-to-wire leader among the team’s receivers, finishing the season with 63 receptions for 979 yards and four touchdowns. Highlighting Dukes’ season was a 204yard performance against Louisiana-Lafayette. • Junior LB Andre Kirk has started the majority of his first two seasons at Florida Atlantic and will be looked to as a defensive leader this fall. He finished fourth on the team in tackles last year with 70 and added four tackles for loss and a fumble recovery.

lousiana tech noting the bulldogs • Louisiana Tech lost 32 seniors and most of its coaching staff after going 9-3 in 2012 and being ranked as high as 18th, but rebounded quickly with the December hiring of new head coach Skip Holtz. Throughout December and January, Holtz compiled a coaching staff and recruiting class, culminating in 21 National Letters of Intent being received on National Signing Day. Holtz won back-to-back C-USA Championships at East Carolina in 2008-09 and led the Pirates to four straight bowl appearances. • Sophomore RB Kenneth Dixon was named a Freshman All-American last season as well as the WAC’s Freshman of the Year. He led the nation in scoring with 28 total touchdowns (27 rushing) break’s Marshall Faulk’s NCAA records for most touchdowns scored, most rushing touchdowns scored and most points, all for a freshman. Dixon had 200 rushes for 1,194 yards, just missing averaging 100 yards a game at 99.5. Dixon set the WAC record for most rushing touchdowns at any class level. • The Bulldogs return all but one defensive lineman, making that unit the most experienced it has been in several years. Kendrick James, Vontarrius Dora, Shakeil Lucas, Vernon Butler, Kevin Kisseberth and IK Enemkpali all started or received significant playing time in 2012.

Marshall noting the herd • Junior QB Rakeem Cato became the fourth Herd quarterback to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season, finishing with 4,201. His per-game average of 350.1 yards led all FBS passers. Cato topped C-USA with 37 touchdown passes and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player in 2012. • Junior WR Tommy Shuler established a new school record with 110 catches on the season, breaking the old record of 106 by Mike Barber in 1987. Shuler accounted for 1,138 receiving yards, the secondhighest total in Conference USA, and caught six touchdowns. • Senior TE Gator Hoskins established a new Marshall school record for touchdowns by a tight end last season with a team-high 10. He finished with 35 receptions for 374 yards. • After starting last season at linebacker, D.J. Hunter is slated to move to free safety this fall under new defensive coordinator Chuck Heater. Hunter topped the 100-tackle mark in 2012 (102), while adding 3.5 tackles for loss, two pass breakups and a forced fumble.

middle tennessee noting the Blue raiders • Middle Tennessee’s six-win increase last season tied for the nation’s best turnaround with Kent State and Ohio State. The Blue Raiders finished the season at 8-4, tying for second place in the Sun Belt with a 6-2 league record. • Senior QB Logan Kilgore, who has 5,342 career passing yards, is just the fifth signal-caller in school history to top the 5,000-yard mark. He is also ranked in the top five in touchdowns and completions. • Sophomore RB Jordan Parker, who had four 100yard rushing games in 2012, set a new Middle Tennessee freshman rushing record with 851 yards. • The Blue Raiders ranked second nationally in fewest sacks allowed in 2012 and return four starters along their offensive line. • Safety Kevin Byard earned FWAA Freshman AllAmerican honors in 2012 after posting 74 tackles, four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two pass breakups.

north texas noting the mean green • Since the opening of Apogee Stadium in 2011 and the start of the Dan McCarney era, North Texas has a home record of 7-4 in two seasons, a stark improvement since 2005. In the previous six seasons dating back to 2005, the Mean Green had won a combined five home games in six years. • For the first time in 60 years the Mean Green had three players rush for more than 500 yards in a single season. UNT eclipsed the 2,000 yard rushing mark for the third time in the last four seasons. Brandin Byrd and Antoinne Jimmerson return and they combined to rush for 1,419 yards and nine touchdowns. It was the first time since 1952 that three UNT players amassed 500 yards rushing in a season. It was the third time in school history that the feat has occurred, with the previous time coming in 1951. • Running back Antoinne Jimmerson rushed for the most yards in a single season by a true freshman at North Texas since 2004 with 544 yards in 2012. Carlos Harris had 263 yards receiving, which was the most by a true freshman since the 2009 season. • North Texas allowed the fewest sacks in the nation last season with six. In nine of the 12 games the Mean Green did not allow a sack. • The Mean Green defense in 2012 held opponents to the fewest points allowed given up in a single season since 2006. In addition the North Texas defense held four opponents to 14 points or less, the most in a single season since 2003.

rice 2012 individual leaders

noting the owls • Rice returns 19 of 22 starters from last year’s 7-6 Armed Forces Bowl champion team as well as 54 total lettermen. At the same, they will be led by an intact coaching staff. This is the first time in David Bailiff’s seven seasons that the team will be guided by the same staff. • The Owls dominated the second half of the 2012 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, defeating Air Force, 33-14. Junior WR Jordan Taylor was named MVP after catching nine passes for a career-high 153 yards and his first three touchdowns of the season. Rice set a team record for total offense in a bowl game with 508 yards, surpassing the 455 the Owls had in the 2008 Texas Bowl. • Senior QB Taylor McHargue completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,209 yards and 12 touchdowns with just five interceptions. He was also the leading rusher among quarterbacks in C-USA, gaining 667 yards on 164 attempts. McHargue tied for fifth in the league in rushing touchdowns with 11. • Senior K Chris Boswell had six field goals of 50-plus yards last season, the most in the FBS. His 11 career field goals from 50 yards or longer are nearly triple the total of the next-highest returning kicker (Aaron Jones of Baylor has four). Boswell set school season records for field goals (23) and kick scoring (114) in addition to career records for field goals (51) and field goal attempts (67) and kick scoring (270). He led C-USA in kick scoring and field goals and finished fourth overall in scoring.

southern miss noting the eagles • Todd Monken takes over as the new Southern Miss head coach this fall after serving as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State. He is the third Golden Eagles head football coach of the last four hired whose previous job was offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State. Each of the previous two (Jeff Bower and Larry Fedora) won at least one Conference USA championship during his tenure at the school. • Senior DB Deron Wilson has started all 39 games of his career for the Golden Eagles. His 34 passes broken up ranks second on the school’s career chart (behind Greg Brooks/2000-03 who had 47) and his eight interceptions are the most of any active Golden Eagle. Wilson registered 61 tackles and nine pass breakups last season. • Senior LB Alan Howze is the team’s leading returning tackler after finishing second with 66 stops last season. He added five tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and forced two fumbles. • The Golden Eagles return three of their top five rushers from a season ago, including sophomore Jalen Richard, who tallied 426 yards and four scores on the ground in 2012. • Southern Miss again plays a challenging nonconference schedule that includes trips to Nebraska, Arkansas and Boise State in September.

tulane noting the green wave • Senior WR Ryan Grant concluded the 2012 season with seven 100-yard games, which was the most among C-USA players, and tied the school singleseason mark set by Marc Zeno in 1987. Grant finished with 76 receptions for 1,149 yards. In just three seasons, he ranks eighth in school history in yards per catch (14.5), 11th in receiving yards (1,730) and 12th in touchdown catches (12). • Senior K Cairo Santos was named the 2012 winner of the prestigious Lou Groza Award. Santos completed one of the finest campaigns by a kicker in NCAA history by finishing a perfect 21-of-21 on field goal attempts. Santos was named to the All-Conference USA First Team and joined 1996 Groza winner Marc Primanti as the only kickers in FBS history to stay perfect throughout a season in which they attempted 20 or more. Santos finished with one more make than Primanti, who was 20-of-20. Santos, who also connected 27-of-28 PAT attempts, led the FBS with 12, 40-plus yard field goals, including a pair of 50-yarders, and set the school record with a 57-yarder vs. Rice. He also nailed a 54-yarder against ULM. Santos led C-USA in field goal percentage (1.000), field goals per game (1.75) and ranked eighth nationally in field goals per game while sitting fifth in kicking points scored (89) per game (7.4), tied for fifth in PAT percentage (.963) and was seventh in overall points per game (7.4). • Sophomore CB Lorenzo Doss played in all 12 games with nine starts as a true freshman in 2012, earning C-USA All-Freshman honors. He led the team in interceptions (5) while sitting tied for second in fumble recoveries (1), seventh with 44 tackles (33 solo, 11 assists) and tied for sixth in pass break-ups (2). Doss recorded the most interceptions by a Tulane freshman since 2003 and his interception total was the seventh-best effort in school

uab 2012 individual leaders

noting the blazers • UAB returns eight starters on both sides of the ball for the 2013 season, including an offensive unit that ranked among the best in school history last fall. The Blazers registered 5,029 offensive yards and averaged 28.2 points last season, third-most in the UAB record book in both categories. In addition, UAB’s 308.8 passing yards per game established a school record and was the 19th-best mark in the country in 2012. • The Blazers will bring back their top passer, leading rusher and best receiver from last season for the 2013 campaign. QB Austin Brown set a UAB freshman record for passing yards in a season with 2,673 while Darrin Reaves tallied the third-highest rushing total for a season in Blazer annals with 1,037 yards. Reaves also had 13 rushing touchdowns. WR Jackie Williams registered 58 receptions for 799 yards, team bests in both. • Jackie Williams will enter his senior season in 2013 with the nation’s longest consecutive games streak with at least one reception. Williams has now caught at least one pass in every game he has played for the Blazers during his career and has a catch in 35 straight contests. • K Ty Long has made 30-of-36 field goals in his first two years as a Blazer and his 83.3 percent accuracy mark is the best in UAB history. He has not missed a field goal from inside 43 yards during his career. He owns the two-longest field goals in UAB history having kicked a 54-yarder at Ohio State and a 53-yarder against SE Louisiana.

He spent 11 years in the NFL having also coached with the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills. • The Miners return 42 letterwinners and 12 starters from last year’s squad. UTEP has seven starters returning on offense and four starters back on defense. Overall, the Miners have 24 players who have starting experience returning for 2013. • Six individuals who accounted for 89 percent of UTEP’s rushing yards from 2012 return for the 2013 campaign. UTEP scored 32 touchdowns last season.

UTSA noting the roadrunners • UTSA begins its third season of play this fall and first as a member of Conference USA. The Roadrunners were 8-4 overall and 3-3 in their first and only season in the WAC a year ago. That came on the heels of a 4-6 inaugural campaign as an FCS independent in 2011. • The Roadrunners return first-team all-conference safety Triston Wade. He tied for the team lead with four interceptions, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his 12 starts a year ago and also ranked second on the squad with 74 tackles (45 solos) and 11 pass breakups. Wade has had a hand in a total of 13 turnovers (seven fumbles/six INTs) in the first 22 games of his career. • Junior punt returner Kenny Harrison ranked second in the FBS last fall with his 17.3 average. He returned 12 punts for 208 yards, including a 79-yarder for a score against Texas State. • The Roadrunners once again will feature one of the nation’s smallest senior classes. UTSA has 10 seniors (nine scholarship) on its 2013 roster and had a national-low six (five scholarship) last season. • UTSA ranked seventh nationally with its 1.17 turnover margin per game last season. The Roadrunners recovered 16 fumbles and intercepted 13 passes, giving them a total of 29 forced turnovers (t-20th FBS) in the season’s 12 outings. Conversely, UTSA gave the ball away just 15 times last season (8 FRs/7 INTs). The Roadrunners scored 22 times (15 TDs/7 FGs) following an opponent turnover in 2012.

2012 - Tulsa, Okla.

Trey Watts was named MVP after finishing with 134 rushing yards, 221 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.

(H.A. Chapman Stadium)

TULSA 33, UCF 27 (ot) MVP: Trey Watts, Tulsa

Alex Singleton ran for 100 yards and plunged over the top for a one-yard score in overtime to lift Tulsa to a 33-27 victory over UCF on Saturday in the Conference USA championship game. Tulsa won the C-USA championship for the first time since 2005 and is off to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Singleton came up with just the second 100-yard game of his career, breaking the school record for touchdowns in the process. He also had a 7-yard score in the second quarter to break Tarrion Adams’ mark with his 40th overall touchdown and 39 on the ground. After Cory Dorris blocked Shawn Moffitt’s 38-yardfieldgoalonCentralFlorida’spossession to start overtime, Tulsa (10-3) kept the ball on the ground on five straight plays. Singleton was initially given a touchdown on secondand-goal, but officials ruled on replay that he was down inside the 1. That was no problem for the burly back whose specialty is short yardage. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles accounted for three touchdowns for UCF (9-4). The Golden Hurricane tied it at 27 with 5:06 remaining when Trey Watts picked up a punt that had been batted forward by UCF’s Kemal Ishmael and raced 54 yards up the Tulsa sideline for a touchdown. A.J. Bouye blocked Daniel Schwarz’s extra-point attempt to preserve the tie. Tulsa limited Latavius Murray to short gains and then forced an incomplete pass by

Bortles in overtime, leading to Moffitt’s field goal try. The Golden Hurricane dumped a cooler on coach Bill Blankenship after what looked like the game-winning touchdown, but got to celebrate again after Singleton’s “second” score. Offensive lineman Jared Grigg zoomed around the field to hold up a Conference USA champions sign to the crowd, and the team mobbed near midfield to accept a bid to the Liberty Bowl. UCF will play in the Beef `O’ Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla. It was the third time the teams have met in the Conference USA championship game since 2005. Tulsa won it in `05, with the Golden Knights taking the crown in `07. The Golden Hurricane took the rubber match by winning the second meeting between the teams at H.A. Chapman Stadium in three weeks. Watts, the son of ex-Oklahoma quarterback and congressman J.C. Watts, had 134 yards rushing. Cody Green threw for 153 yards, with just 41 after halftime as the Golden Hurricane relied on their ground game to produce its ninth 200-yard performance of the season. Bortles threw for 194 yards and a pair of 8-yard touchdown passes to Breshad Perriman and Quincy McDuffie. He also ran for 60 yards and another score. Murray became the first player in UCF history to rush for touchdowns in eight straight games in a single season, scoring on

a 2-yard TD run to cut Tulsa’s lead to 21-20. The extra point was blocked by Trent Martin, but Bortles’ 28-yard scramble put the Golden Knights up 27-21 late in the third quarter. UCF then had back-to-back three-and-outs before Watts tied it with his return.

2011 - HOUSTON, Texas

Tracey Lampley was named Most Valuable Player after posting 240 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.

(Robertson Stadium)

SOUTHERN MISS 49, HOUSTON 28 MVP: Tracey Lampley, Southern Miss No. 23 Southern Miss claimed its first Conference USA Football Championship Game victory with a 49-28 win at No. 6 Houston. Golden Eagles wide receiver Tracey Lampley was named the game’s Most Valuable Player after posting 240 all-purpose yards and two touchdown catches. Southern Miss (11-2, 6-2 C-USA) scored the game’s first 14 points and would never trail en route to posting a C-USA Championship Game record 49 points and seven touchdowns. What began as a defensive battle that included five punts, a missed field goal and a turnover on downs during the first seven combined possessions turned into an offensive show when senior quarterback Austin Davis hit Ryan Balentine with a 14-yard pass to open the scoring with 1:09 remaining in the opening quarter. After forcing Houston (12-1, 8-0 C-USA) into its fourth punt in five possessions, Southern Miss began the second quarter with a three-play, 36-yard drive that took 59 seconds to open up a 14-0 lead over a Cougar team that had faced just one 14-0 deficit all season. Houston would answer with its first touchdown of the day on its ensuing possession, sustaining an 11-play, 65-yard drive that was capped off by a nine-yard touchdown pass from Case Keenum to Justin Johnson. After its defense forced a three-andout on the next Southern Miss possession, Houston evened the score at 14 with a Michael

Hayes one-yard touchdown dive that followed a 50-yard Keenum-to-Johnson pass down the middle of the field. Davis and the Golden Eagles had an immediate answer, capping a five-play drive with a 69-yard strike to Dominique Sullivan to regain the lead and take a 21-14 advantage into halftime. The pass play was the longest in C-USA Championship Game history. Southern Miss increased the lead with the help of its special teams when Furious Bradley blocked and recovered a Houston punt, then rambled 11 yards for the touchdown. A promising Houston drive was cut off when Keenum’s back-shoulder throw attempt was intercepted in the end zone by Deron Wilson for a touchback. Three plays later, Houston would return the favor as Phillip Steward corralled a deflected pass by Davis and took it to the Southern Miss four yard line. Michael Hayes would punch it in on the next play for Houston and again pull within one score, 28-21. The Golden Eagle offense answered back, piecing together an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive the featured four plays of longer than 10 yards that was capped by a 17yard scamper by Desmond Johnson to make the score 35-21. Another quick series from Houston that ended in a punt, was countered by another quick-attack Southern Miss scoring drive. The three-play 81-yard drive saw Davis find Lampley on a 61-yard touchdown pass with less

than a minute remaining in the third quarter. Each team would add another touchdown in the final quarter to render the final score of 49-28. The victory gave Southern Miss its first C-USA football championship since 2003. The Golden Eagles have won five C-USA titles, more than any other school.

Freshman QB Jeff Godfrey guided the Knights offense to victory by completing 15-of-19 passes for 167 yards

(Bright House Networks Stadium)

UCF 17, SMU 7 MVP: Latavius Murray, UCF

Fueled by a two-touchdown performance by running back Latavius Murray, the UCF Knights earned a 17-7 win over SMU to claim the 2010 Conference USA Football Championship. The Knights claimed their second C-USA Championship title in the past four years. UCF also accepted the bid to compete in the 2010 AutoZone Liberty Bowl with the win. Jeff Godfrey completed 15 of 19 passes for 167 yards, including a 5-yard TD throw to Murray to finish a long scoring drive in the opening quarter. Murray also scored his 10th rushing TD of the season, breaking a 36-yard run to make it 17-0 in the third quarter. SMU (7-6), which was trying to win its first league championship since sharing the Southwest Conference crown in 1984, scored on Kyle Padron’s 22-yard pass to Aldrick Robinson early in the fourth quarter. Padron was 18 of 34 for 220 yards passing, but he also was intercepted twice and sacked five times. He drove his team into UCF territory in the closing minutes, only to have the Knights stop the threat on downs with their final sack. UCF won for the eighth time in nine games, including three in a row since a 31-21 loss to Southern Miss ended a brief stay in the Top 25. The first national ranking in the

program’s 30-year history lasted one week, yet accentuates just how far the Knights have come since going 0-11 in 2004 -George O’Leary’s first season, and the year before UCF joined Conference USA. SMU’s turnaround in three years under former NFL and Hawaii coach June Jones has been just as impressive. Finally showing signs of recovering from being hit with the NCAA death penalty for rules violations, the Mustangs are headed to bowl games in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1983 and 1984. UCF set the tone for a dominating performance, marching 73 yards in 13 plays following the opening kickoff to take a 7-0 lead on Godfrey’s short TD throw to Murray. Nick Cattoi’s 29-yard field goal made it 10-0 on the final play of the first half. The Knights held the ball for more than 13 minutes of the first quarter, and the combined 10 points for the teams were the fewest scored in an opening half in the six-year history of the Conference USA Championship Game. Murray’s second touchdown finished an eight-play, 85-yard drive that extended UCF’s lead to 17 heading into the fourth quarter. The 6-foot-3, 221-pound running back was voted the game’s most valuable player. He carried 22 times while sharing

the workload with Ronnie Weaver and Godfrey, one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks. Darius Johnson had nine receptions for 105 yards for SMU. Zach Line rushed for 94 yards on 18 attempts for the Mustangs. SMU UCF

2009 - GREENVILLE, N.C.

ECU’s Dwayne Harris earned Most Valuable Player honors after catching nine passes for 123 yards and a touchdown.

(Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium)

East Carolina 38, Houston 32 MVP: Dwayne Harris, East Carolina Dominique Lindsay and Giavanni Ruffin each ran for two touchdowns while East Carolina’s defense hung in against Houston’s powerful offense to help the Pirates beat the No. 18 Cougars 38-32 in the Conference USA championship game Saturday. Dwayne Harris also had a big day with 123 yards receiving and a 22-yard touchdown catch. He also had a 69-yard kickoff return to set up East Carolina’s first touchdown to earn MVP honors, helping the Pirates (9-4) beat the mistake-prone Cougars (10-3) for their second straight league title that will send them back to the Liberty Bowl. East Carolina is the first team to win consecutive C-USA titles since the league went to divisional play in 2005. Case Keenum had a big day for Houston, completing 56 of 75 passes for title gamerecord 527 yards and five touchdowns. Most of those went to James Cleveland, who had 19 catches for another game-record of 241 yards to go with three scores. But while Houston had stretches where it easily moved the ball, the Cougars repeatedly cost themselves with the kind of mistakes that East Carolina needed to hang around. Keenum threw three interceptions, including one in the end zone and a second while under pressure that Van Eskridge returned 30 yards to Houston’s 7 to set up Lindsay’s score that gave East Carolina a 3119 lead early in the fourth.

Houston also lost a fumble that East Carolina converted into a field goal, while Matt Hogan missed two extra-point attempts and had a third blocked late in the game. Then, after the Cougars defense stopped Lindsay on a fourth-and-1 to get the ball back with 1:47 to play, Keenum lofted a ball deep for L.J. Castile in the end zone that bounced off the shoulder pad of defender Travis Simmons and ricocheted to Eskridge for a game-clinching interception with 42 seconds left. The Pirates, meanwhile, turned in the kind of steady offensive performance they seemed unable to muster earlier this season. Coach Skip Holtz had said his offense would have to do its part to help the defense, whether it meant moving the chains to keep Keenum on the sideline or getting into the end zone. The Pirates did a little of all of that, with Patrick Pinkney throwing for 262 yards with no turnovers, Lindsay running for 75 yards and Ruffin running for 55 yards on seven carries. The Cougars beat the Pirates 41-24 on the road last season, rolling up 621 yards in a dominating performance that left East Carolina’s defense gasping for air. Keenum threw for 399 yards and three touchdowns in that game, but East Carolina had won seven straight home games against league opponents since, including last week’s win against Southern Mississippi to clinch another East Division title and homefield advantage for the C-USA title game. East Carolina got the clinching score when

Ruffin had a brilliant scoring run, patiently waiting for the hole to develop before sprinting free to the right side and leaping for the pylon on a 20-yard run that made it 38-26 with 6:39 to play. Keenum connected with Cleveland on the next drive to cut the deficit to 38-32 with 3:24 to play, but couldn’t get the Cougars back to the end zone again. Houston East Carolina

2008 - tulsa, Okla.

Most Valuable Player Travis Simmons had a 72-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter.

(H.A. Chapman Stadium)

East Carolina 27, Tulsa 24 MVP: Travis Simmons, East Carolina Patrick Pinkney had one last chance to hold up the family tradition and bring a conference championship back to East Carolina. So he won this one for Dad. Pinkney played mistake-free football, Ben Hartman kicked a 36-yard field goal with 1:43 remaining and East Carolina took advantage of seven turnovers to beat Tulsa 27-24 Saturday in the Conference USA championship game for its first league title in 32 years. “He always joked about it, being the last team to win the conference championship,” said Pinkney, whose father, Reggie, was a star defensive back on the Pirates’ 1976 Southern Conference title team. “I told him at the beginning of the year, `We’ll go get it this year.”’ While the Pirates (9-4) used the league’s best defense to force David Johnson, the nation’s top-rated passer, into a career-high five interceptions, Pinkney was solid throughout. The senior threw for only 122 yards and one touchdown, but protected the ball all game long and routinely threw it away when there was nothing there. That put East Carolina in position for a final 12-play, 63-yard drive that chewed up 7 minutes and set up Hartman for the game-winner. “We finished the game,” Pinkney said. “We got that drive, Ben hit that kick and that sealed it for us.” The conference crown earned the Pirates a berth in the Liberty Bowl, which was offered to them on the field during the trophy presentation. Tulsa (10-3) will try to get its top-ranked offense back on track in time for its bowl game, most likely a second straight appearance in the GMAC Bowl - although coach Todd Graham said that wasn’t a done deal yet. The normally efficient Johnson had thrown only 13 interceptions in 12 games this season, but was off-target from the start. He threw an interception on the first play of the game as the Golden Hurricane came out going for the long

ball. It was a sign of things to come. Pinkney responded by driving the Pirates 83 yards and throwing a 13-yard touchdown pass to fullback Kevin Gidrey off of play action. The lead grew to 14-0 when Travis Simmons picked off another of Johnson’s passes and returned 72 yards it down the left sideline for a score. It was the first time all season that Johnson threw interceptions on consecutive drives. He also fumbled on Tulsa’s opening drive of the second half, and Norman Whitley bolted 69 yards up the middle for a touchdown that put East Carolina up 24-17 - with all of its points coming off of Golden Hurricane turnovers. Van Eskridge sealed the win with 63 seconds left when he picked off a pass intended for top receiver Brennan Marion, who had crumpled to the turf after apparently injuring his right knee. It was Eskridge’s second interception of the game. “They got a lot of pressure on the quarterback, and we didn’t have a very good answer for the things that they were doing,” Graham said. “They were putting stress on us, and we were turning the football over.” Tulsa, which leads the nation with a 579yard average, was held to 399 yards. Johnson finished with 195 yards on 23-for-42 passing. It was only the third time this season he was held below 200 yards passing. His only touchdown pass was an 8-yarder to Jake Collums that tied the game at 24 with 8:57 left, before East Carolina’s final march. “It’s definitely not all on Dave. We just fell short as a team, as an offense,” said running back Tarrion Adams, who had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs in a burst of 17 straight firsthalf points for Tulsa. The Pirates won for the sixth time in seven games after a three-game losing streak wiped away the early BCS banter that followed their back-to-back upsets of Top 25 teams Virginia Tech and West Virginia. “I thought this football team has had more

heart, they have faced more adversity and they have hung together through some very difficult times when there’s not a lot of people that have believed in them,” coach Skip Holtz said. “There’s not a lot of people that gave them a chance in this football game.” At the end of the day, though, Pinkney was able to follow in the footsteps of his father - who set a school record in that 1976 season with 197 return yards off of his six interceptions. Holtz, too, followed the winning ways of his pop, former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz. “It’s big for our program. That’s a long time for a conference championship,” Pinkney said, before Holtz interjected. “Are you trying to say your dad is old?” the coach asked. And once again, the quarterback had the perfect answer: “He’s got gray hair.” East Carolina Tulsa

UCF 44, Tulsa 25 MVP: Kevin Smith, UCF

102

UCF junior Kevin Smith had 284 yards and four touchdowns as UCF beat Tulsa 44-25 for the Conference USA championship. Smith led the Knights to victory in a rematch from the inaugural league championship game that saw Tulsa defeat UCF at the Citrus Bowl. Smith’s performance moved him into second place behind Barry Sanders on the NCAA’s single-season rushing list, with one game remaining, UCF’s Dec. 29 Liberty Bowl appearance. As he had all year, the 6-foot-1, 211-pound junior downplayed his gaudy numbers. “I’m expected to be back there and make the right cut at the right time,” Smith said. “You can’t run up the sideline without a hole. My guys gave it to me, and I tried not to let them down.” Then, perhaps his biggest understatement: “Coach gives me the ball a lot.” In the game, Smith also set the NCAA all-time single-season record in season rushing attempts with 415, 12 more than Marcus Allen had at USC in 1981. Allen had been ahead of Smith in season rushing yardage, but the junior passed him with a six-yard carry in the third quarter. Smith had 24 carries for 161 yards at halftime, and piled up even more with a 74-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. “I have coached in the BCS, and I can guarantee you that he is as good as anybody in the country,” Tulsa coach Todd Graham said. “No question about it.” It was the second time in three years the teams played for the conference championship. Tulsa (94, 6-3) won in 2005, but the Golden Hurricane’s star quarterback Paul Smith made too many mistakes this time. Paul Smith passed for 426 yards, his third 400yard game this season, on 28 of 55 completions, but threw three interceptions. Two were in the second half, and each one happened inside or near the end zone. “They play as well as anyone we’ve played --

physicality, speed, strength,” Paul Smith said. UCF led 31-23 at halftime, but couldn’t stop Paul Smith early. The Golden Hurricane, the country’s top offense with 548 yards a game, rolled up 376 yards and 13 first downs. The Knights let Smith slip out of several third-and-long situations with long completions over the middle, including a 29-yarder to Trae Johnson on third-and-12 that set up Tulsa’s first score. But the Knights clamped down in the second half, pressuring Smith into Tulsa’s third-worst offensive outing of the season. UCF used the same blueprint when the teams met in the regular season, picking off four Smith passes in a 44-23 win. “A lot of it is they’ve got some really, really explosive guys up front, and I think that’s the key to their defense,” Graham said. Down 37-23, Tulsa stayed alive when Paul Smith found Brennan Marion for a 33-yard completion on fourth down to the Knights’ 3-yard-line. Despite four chances at point-blank range, Tulsa couldn’t score until it turned the ball over on downs and tackled UCF QB Kyle Israel for a safety. Knights coach George O’Leary saved a touchdown in the second quarter after Paul Smith ran in an eight-yard draw. The Golden Hurricane lined up for the extra point, but O’Leary challenged, saying Tulsa had 12 players on the field. The review showed he was correct, and Tulsa came away without any points when Smith was intercepted by Johnell Neal at the 5-yard-line. Cornerback Joe Burnett scored UCF’s first TD on an 83-yard punt return. It was the school’s first since the conference title game in 2005, when he ran one back 68 yards. The real offense was coming from the Smiths. Tulsa’s senior Paul turned in his 13th straight 300-yard game after never having one before this year. Kevin Smith’s four touchdowns gave him 30 on the season, fourth-best in history behind Sanders (39), Boise State’s Brock Forsey (32) and

The Knights celebrate their first conference championship game crown after defeating Tulsa.

Record-setting RB Kevin Smith was named MVP after compiling 284 rushing yards and scoring four touchdowns in UCF’s win. Louisiana Tech’s Troy Edwards (31). Smith is now 180 yards behind Sanders, and averages 188 a game. After getting little recognition, the chase and Smith’s nationally televised performance might nudge Heisman Trophy voters who held onto their ballots to push him higher. “Kevin’s been special every game, I think from the first to the twelfth, and hopefully people recognize that,” O’Leary said. “I think this game went out over the nation, and they saw a guy that comes out and plays like he’s supposed to play.” Tulsa UCF

2006 – HOUSTON, Texas Houston 34, Southern Miss 20 MVP: Vincent Marshall, Houston

Kevin Kolb threw two touchdown passes to Biren Ealy and ran for another score to lead Houston to a 34-20 win over Southern Miss in the second annual Conference USA championship game Friday night. “A lot of people doubted us and said it couldn’t be done,” said Kolb, who completed 19-for-31 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns. “It was done tonight and hopefully, for the program, it will continue to be done.” The Cougars (10-3) won their first C-USA title in 1996, but went 37-66 over the next nine seasons. Houston hired Art Briles in 2003 and he lured Kolb, the quarterback Briles coached in high school. On Friday, Kolb became the conference’s all-time passing leader, leapfrogging Louisville quarterback Chris Redman. Kolb, who made his 49th career start, now has 12,578 passing yards. Kolb also had a 46-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that gave the Cougars the lead for good. His two TD passes moved him into second place on the league’s career list, two behind Redman’s record of 84. After the game, Kolb only wanted to talk about the championship. “I’ve been telling people since the beginning of the year that that’s all that matters and that’s the truth,” he said. “This means a lot more to me than any records.” Vincent Marshall, Houston’s career receiving leader, caught eight passes for 100 yards and had a touchdown run on a lateral for

the Cougars. Marshall, a senior, was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. He finished with 224 all-purpose yards - 100 receiving, 18 on his first career pass, 22 on the TD run and 102 on three kickoff returns. “The only thing I was thinking about was all the hard work we’ve put into this,” Marshall said. “It’s very gratifying,” Briles said. “We’ve battled our tails off now for four years and got this thing where it needs to be.” Jeremy Young had a touchdown run and threw a TD pass to Chris Johnson to lead the Golden Eagles (8-5), who will play Ohio in the GMAC Bowl. “Our guys played hard and I am proud of our football team for getting to this game,” said Eagles coach Jeff Bower. “We certainly would have liked to have won it, but I’m proud of them for what they’ve done this year.” The Cougars trailed 17-13 at halftime, but came from behind to win for the sixth straight game. Early in the third quarter, Kolb faked a handoff to Battle and sprinted for a touchdown, the longest run of his career. Kolb, Conference USA’s career leader in total offense, went 6-for-6 on Houston’s next drive and found Ealy for a 33-yard touchdown with 2:52 left in the third quarter. While Kolb hit his stride after a sluggish first half, Houston’s defense held Southern Miss to 46 yards and two first downs in the third quarter. Darren McCaleb kicked a 31-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter to cut

Houston’s lead to 27-20. But Kolb drove the Cougars to the Southern Miss 32, then lofted a TD pass to Ealy down the sideline with 4:25 left. After the touchdown, Kolb jogged to the sideline and high-fived quarterbacks coach Philip Montgomery. The game drew 31,818, the largest crowd in the history of Robertson Stadium, which was built in the 1940s and expanded in 1999. Southern Miss freshman Damion Fletcher, the league’s second-leading rusher, finished with 90 yards, 13 below his average. Southern Miss Houston

Tulsa 44, UCF 27 MVP: Garrett Mills, Tulsa

Tarrion Adams had three touchdowns, two of them rushing, and Tulsa’s defense shut UCF out in the second half as the Golden Hurricane claimed their first league title in 20 years with a 44-27 victory in the inaugural Conference USA championship game before 51,978 at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Adams had a 15-yard touchdown catch and a 6-yard scoring run in the first quarter - then sealed the win with a 25-yard run with 6:17 left in the third as Tulsa won for the sixth time in its last seven games. The Golden Hurricane’s last league crown came in 1985, when Tulsa won the Missouri Valley Conference. Paul Smith completed 13 of 20 passes for 205 yards and two scores for Tulsa, which held UCF to 55 yards in the second half. Uril Parrish had 100 yards and a touchdown for the Golden Hurricane, and Adams finished with 81 rushing yards. Tulsa’s Garrett Mills had eight catches for 152 yards - giving him 1,183 for the year, a new NCAA record for most receiving yards by a tight ends in a season. Brigham Young’s Chris Smith had 1,156 in 1990. Kevin Smith ran for 108 yards and a touchdown for UCF, which snapped a 17-game losing streak earlier this season and will play in a bowl for the first time in the school’s 10year football history. Steven Moffett threw for 190 yards and a touchdown, but had two interceptions and lost two fumbles - with three of those turnovers coming in the second half. UCF had a chance to cut a 14-point deficit in half early in the fourth, but Dontavius Wilcox with no defenders in front of him - stumbled and fell at the Tulsa 10. The Golden Knights, who’d never drawn

more than 50,220 to a home game, eventually turned the ball over on downs, and Tulsa ran 7 1/2 minutes off the clock before Brad DeVault kicked his third field goal with 2:24 left to cap the scoring. Tulsa led 31-27 at halftime, after the teams totaled 520 yards - not including a 58-yard interception return by Tulsa’s Nick Graham and a 68-yard punt return for a touchdown by UCF’s Joe Burnett. Moffett threw a 43-yard pass to Willie Thornton to open the scoring, but the Golden Hurricane answered with 21 straight points to build an early twotouchdown lead. Adams caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Smith, then scored on a 6-yard run to give Tulsa its first lead. After Graham picked off a Moffett pass and returned it to the UCF 2, Parrish scored one play later for a 21-7 Tulsa lead - capping a run of three touchdowns in less than seven minutes by the Golden Hurricane. UCF rallied with 17 unanswered points in a 5 1/2-minute stretch, with Smith scoring on a 31-yard run, Matt Prater kicking a 46-yard field goal and Burnett putting the Golden Knights back on top with his second interception return for a score in as many games. DeVault’s 29-yard field goal and Mills’ 29yard touchdown catch with 2:06 left - the one setting the NCAA record - gave Tulsa a 31-24 edge, before Prater drew the Golden Knights within four with a 40-yard field goal on the half’s final play. But UCF went scoreless in the third quarter, while Tulsa got an 18-yard field goal by DeVault and a 25-yard run by Adams midway through the period to take a 41-27 lead into the final 15 minutes.

Tulsa claimed its first league title in 20 years with a 44-27 victory in the inaugural C-USA Football Championship Game.

Tulsa’s Garrett Mills, who set an NCAA single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end in the game, earned MVP honors. Tulsa UCF

Conference USA became just the second conference to produce a pair of 2,000-yard rushers in the same season when UCF’s Kevin Smith and Tulane’s Matt Forté both accomplished the rushing feat. Smith and Forte’ are just the 12th and 13th players in FBS history to reach the 2,000-yard mark and they finished first and second among the 2007 NCAA rushing leaders….UCF’s Kevin Smith was named a consensus All-American, the league’s first since 2003….Tulsa QB Paul Smith led C-USA and finished second in the NCAA in total offense at 370.3 yards per game. In addition to his league-record 47 TD passes, he also rushed for 13 scores. Smith threw for over 300 yards in all 14 games and threw for three or more TDs in 11 games….Conference USA players produced the top individual rushing performance (342 yards by Tulane’s Matt Forte’ on Oct. 20 vs. SMU) and the top individual receiving performance (346 yards by Houston’s Donnie Avery on Oct. 13 vs. Rice) in the FBS during the 2007 season. C-USA is the first conference in major college football history to have a 300-yard rusher and a 300-yard receiver in the same season…. Against Rice on Oct. 13 Houston’s Avery had 345 receiving yards and Anthony Alridge had 205 yards rushing (and four TDs). It was the first time ever in major college football history that a team produced a 200-yard rusher and 300-yard receiver in the same game….The league produced six bowl teams for only the second time in its history. Tulsa defeated Bowling Green, 63-7 in the GMAC Bowl to establish a new NCAA record for victory margin in a bowl game and East Carolina defeated No. 22 Boise State, 41-38 in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl. Houston, Memphis, Southern Miss and UCF also participated in bowl games….Tulsa QB Paul Smith was named the winner of the third annual Wuerffel Trophy, presented to the college football player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.

Offensive Player of the Year DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis Defensive Player of the Year Rod Davis, LB, Southern Miss Special Teams Player of the Year Nick Browne, K, TCU Freshman of the Year Kevin Kolb, QB, Houston Coach of the Year Jeff Bower, Southern Miss

For the first time in Conference USA’s eight seasons, four different teams won at least eight games in a season….TCU reached the 10-win mark for the second-straight season and third time in four years. Southern Miss won at least eight games for the fifth time in eight years. Louisville reached the eight-win mark for the third time in four years and Memphis won nine games for the first time since 1963…. When TCU reached No. 6 in the Nov. 10 BCS rankings, it represented the highest ranking that a non-BCS school had ever achieved…. C-USA posted a record total of 11 wins over BCS league teams. A total of seven different teams (Cincinnati, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, TCU, Tulane and UAB) defeated at least one BCS league team in 2003. Five of C-USA’s 11 wins came on the road. The 11 wins over BCS leagues were the second most of any Division I-A conference during the regular season. Only the Big Ten with 13 had more.

1995

Conference USA selected football award winners throughout the 1995 season to promote Conference USA football even though the official inaugural season began in 1996. The 1995 awards were specifically referred to as the “All-Star Team” and included first and second teams and Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Year. While these awards are valid and kept on record, the following notation should be made in any reference to these awards. Note: Conference USA gave these awards prior to the first official season of football.

Bowl Championship Series About the BCS

The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a fivegame arrangement for post-season college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other games. The bowl games participating are the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. In addition, a BCS National Championship Game will be played at one of the bowl sites.

BCS Rankings

The BCS Standings, have been compiled by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame since the beginning of the 2000 regular-season. The BCS Standings determine which teams play in the National Championship game, and which are included in the pool of eligible teams available for at-large selection. The BCS Standings include the Harris Poll, the USA Today Coaches poll and an average of six computer polls. Each component will count for one-third of a team’s overall BCS score in the BCS Standings.

C-USA and the BCS

The Conference USA champion (along with the champions of the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference) will have an automatic berth in one of the five bowls if, and only if: • It is a Conference Champion; and Either: • It is ranked in the top 12 of the BCS Standings on Bowl Selection Sunday; • It is ranked in the top 16 of the BCS Standings on Bowl Selection Sunday, and its ranking in the BCS Standings is better than that of a champion of a Conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowl games.

Conference USA has announced its preliminary television schedule for the 2013 football season. The current confirmed schedule features more than 80 games to air nationally or regionally, with additional games to be added prior to beginning of the season. National games will be televised on Fox Sports Net (FSN), CBS Sports Network and ESPN. Included are several unopposed windows that provide tremendous exposure to C-USA, as well as numerous exciting league match-ups, and many challenging non-conference contests. The 2013 football season marks the third year of a multi-platform media rights agreement between Conference USA and FOX Sports Media Group broadcasting a minimum of 20 games. This season, FOX Sports 1, FOX’s new national sports cable network launching this August, is scheduled to televise a minimum of 10 regular-season Conference USA football games. Additional games will again be carried nationally on FOX Sports Networks owned-andaffiliated regional networks, which reach more than 85 million homes and FOX College Sports. This season marks the ninth year of C-USA’s partnership with CBS Sports Network that includes significant national and regional exposure for football, men’s and women’s basketball and other C-USA sports. CBS Sports Network is the 24-hour home of CBS Sports and is available to more than 99 million households across the country. Additional Conference USA football television exposures remain a possibility and will be released as soon as they are finalized.
