You can really sense the momentum that the conference has.” - Arkansas State head coach Gus Malzahn “In my mind, the Sun Belt came out as a big winner in realign- ment and conference shuffling. Adding Georgia State, Texas State and UT Arlington clearly put the Sun Belt in a strong position for the future. The competitive gap between us and others has shrunk considerably. The Sun Belt is poised to contend to become the best of the so-called non-AQ confer- ences, which are our peer conferences.” - Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson “Everybody is getting better. Everybody is recruiting hard, and everybody is hiring good coaches. There’s great coaches across the field and have been for years.” - Troy head coach Larry Blakeney “One of messages across the league is why not be that team that takes center stage? That is the next Boise State? To play on New Year’s Day in a big bowl against a big opponent and bring credit to the university and to the Sun Belt. There’s no doubt in my mind that there is a team in the Sun Belt that will achieve that in the next two to three to five years.”- Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson “Athletic directors and people across the country are saying, ‘Hey, they play a great brand football in the Sun Belt Confer- ence.’“ - Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth “Each year we’re getting more established, we’re building better facilities, we’re recruiting better players,” - Middle Ten- nessee Head Coach Rick Stockstill “This conference probably is more even than any conference in the country. There’s just about every team in this conference I feel like if it gets on a roll has the ability to make a run for the championship if not finish in the top 3 every year.” - Louisiana- Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth “The conference is getting better as we go. I think our presidents have done a great job.

2012 SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALL

SUN BELT FUTURE IS BRIGHT“This is a conference on the rise. You can really sense the momentum that the conference has.” - Arkansas State head coach Gus Malzahn

“In my mind, the Sun Belt came out as a big winner in realign-ment and conference shuffl ing. Adding Georgia State, Texas State and UT Arlington clearly put the Sun Belt in a strong position for the future. The competitive gap between us and others has shrunk considerably. The Sun Belt is poised to contend to become the best of the so-called non-AQ confer-ences, which are our peer conferences.” - Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson

“Everybody is getting better. Everybody is recruiting hard, and everybody is hiring good coaches. There’s great coaches across the fi eld and have been for years.” - Troy head coach Larry Blakeney

“One of messages across the league is why not be that team that takes center stage? That is the next Boise State? To play on New Year’s Day in a big bowl against a big opponent and bring credit to the university and to the Sun Belt. There’s no doubt in my mind that there is a team in the Sun Belt that will achieve that in the next two to three to fi ve years.”- Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson

“Athletic directors and people across the country are saying, ‘Hey, they play a great brand football in the Sun Belt Confer-ence.’ “ - Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth

“Each year we’re getting more established, we’re building better facilities, we’re recruiting better players,” - Middle Ten-nessee Head Coach Rick Stockstill

“This conference probably is more even than any conference in the country. There’s just about every team in this conference I feel like if it gets on a roll has the ability to make a run for the championship if not fi nish in the top 3 every year.” - Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth

Player of the Week

(November 5)

Jordan Hunt (FIU, Sr., LB)Hunt recorded a team-high 11 tackles in FIU’s 28-20 win on the road over South Alabama on Saturday. Includ-ing nine solo tackles, Hunt recorded one forced fumble, two pass breakups, one quarterback hurry and one interception. Hunt was outstanding in the fourth quarter vs. the Jaguars with the game on-the-line and FIU clinging to its one touchdown lead. Following an FIU three-and-out, USA drove the ball back into the Pan-thers side of the fi eld on one play. On the second play of the drive, Hunt forced a fumble on USA running back Demetre Baker at the FIU 48 with 11 minutes left, allowing the Panthers to recover on their own 38-yard-line. On USA’s next drive, they pushed all the way down to the FIU eight-yard-line. Hunt stopped running back Ken-dall Houston for a two-yard game on second down, and a critical pass breakup on quarterback Ross Metheny on third down from the six. USA would miss the fi eld goal attempt. On USA’s fi nal drive Hunt intercepted Metheny at midfi eld, ending the Jaguars’ fi nal threat.

Defensive

Player of the Week

(November 5)

Reggie Whatley (Middle Tennessee, r-So., K)Reggie Whatley’s play against WKU was one of the main reasons MT picked up its sixth win on Thursday. The redshirt sophomore set a school-record in kick return yards with 222, smashing the previous best set by Da-mon Nickson against Louisville in 2006. Whatley’s 96-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter proved to be the gamewinner as the Blue Raiders reached bowl eligibility for the third time in four seasons. As a defensive specialist, Whatley pounced on a fumble in the fourth quarter that led to a Blue Raider fi eld goal. The redshirt sophomore averages 31.9 yards per kick return in nine games played this season.

WKU, ULM Top SEC Foes

ULM defeated then #8 ranked Arkansas on September 8 and WKU followed up with a win over Kentucky on September 15. The two wins against SEC programs were the fi rst for both institutions, it also marked the fi rst time that Sun Belt Conference has had wins against the SEC in back-to-back weeks. ULM’s win over Arkansas also marked the fi rst time that a Sun Belt Conference team has defeated a top-ten ranked opponent.

ULM’s Browning Tabbed Walter Camp National Off ensive Player of the Week

After leading ULM to 34-31 upset of No. 8 Arkansas Saturday in overtime, junior quarterback Kolton Brown-ing has been named the Walter Camp Football Foundation Off ensive Player of the Week. Browning tallied 481 yards of total off ense and his 16 yard run to the endzone in overtime gave the Warhawks their fi rst-ever win over Arkansas and their fi rst-win over a ranked opponent (as a FBS member). Browning set new career-highs in passing yards (412), completions (42) and attempts (67). The junior also registered a total of 83 plays which ranks second in ULM history for a single-game.

Cunningham Garners National Award

Middle Tennessee senior running back Benny Cunningham was named the AT&T All-America National Player of the Week on Thursday night for his performance in the win at Georgia Tech. ESPN analysts select four players each week and then fan votes determine the overall winner. Cunningham set several career-highs in the upset win over Georgia Tech, including 217 yards rushing, scoring fi ve touchdowns, carrying the pigskin 27 times and registering a career-long 60-yard run. The 60-yard touchdown run was the longest by the Blue Raiders since D.D. Kyles raced 74 yards against Louisiana in 2010. Cunningham’s fi ve rushing touchdowns tied for the second most in a game at Middle Tennessee and moved him to No. 3 nationally in scoring.

Sun Belt Sends Three to Bowls in 2011

The Sun Belt Conference has sent three teams to postseason bowl games for two consecutive seasons. Fol-lowing the 2011 regular season, Louisiana-Lafayette played in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, FIU played in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl and Arkansas State played in the GoDaddy.com Bowl. The three teams playing in the 2011 football postseason matches the previous high set the year prior. ASU, FIU, ULL and Western Kentucky all fi nished the 2011 regular season with bowl eligible records, marking the fourth time in league history that the Sun Belt has had four bowl eligible teams.

Sun Belt Conference Membership

The Sun Belt Conference is currently comprised of ten football playing members – Arkansas State (founding football member in 2001), Florida Atlantic (joined league as football member in 2005), FIU (joined league as football member in 2005), Louisiana-Lafayette (founding football member in 2001), Louisiana-Monroe (founding football member in 2001), Middle Tennessee (founding football member in 2001), North Texas (founding football member in 2001), South Alabama (joined league as football member in 2012), Troy (joined league as football member in 2004) and Western Kentucky University (joined league as football member in 2009).

South Alabama will open the 2012 season on Aug. 30 against Texas San-Antonio where it will make its Sun Belt Conference and FBS debut. The Jaguars will not be eligible for the Sun Belt Conference championship, however, they will play a full Sun Belt schedule where their games will count as conference games for their league opponents. USA will be eligible for the Sun Belt title and a bowl berth in the 2013 season.

Trojan Trio Wins Super Bowl Title

The Trojan Trio of Jerrel Jernigan , Lawrence Tynes and Osi Umenyiora are Super Bowl Champions after the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI. The title is the second for both Tynes and Umenyiora and the fi rst for Jernigan. Troy’s three former players in the Super Bowl (active rosters) were the fi fth most of any school in the country. Tynes, who sent the Giants to the Super Bowl with a game-winning fi eld goal in overtime of the NFC Championship Game, booted fi eld goals of 38 and 33 yards in the third quarter to pull New York within two, 17-15. Jernigan, who in 2010 led the Trojans to their fi fth consecu-tive Sun Belt Conference title, set up Tynes’ fi rst fi eld goal with a 34-yard kickoff return. The rookie fi nished the game with three returns for 71 yards (23.7 per return). Umenyiora fi nished the game with one tackle and a pair of hits on New England quarterback Tom Brady.

Bowl Game Winning Percentage

Since the 2007 football season the Sun Belt Conference ranks fi fth out of the 11 FBS conferences in postsea-son bowl game winning percentage. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference ranks ahead of noted “Big Six” leagues – the ACC, Pac-12 and the Big Ten. Furthermore, the Sun Belt Conference outpaces its non-automatic qualifying BCS partners in the WAC, Conference USA and the MAC.

Sun Belt Conference Bowl Partners

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 traveled to the United States Naval Academy for the program’s fi rst game against a member of the service academies. The team was riding on a one-game win streak and had the confi dence that the fi nal scoring drive in the last two was the deciding factor. For the Owls the Navy game was no diff erent. FAU put the fi rst 10 points on the board, Navy the next 24. FAU would rally behind an An-drae Kirk fumble recovery to pull within one touchdown with nearly a quarter to play. FAU’s fi nal drive fell short providing the 24-17 fi nal. The Owls had several key performances in the game. Junior running back Jonathan Wallace had a career high 111 yards while Adarius Glanton matched his career high 12 tackles. Junior Mitch Anderson booted a 53-yard fi eld goal to tie a record set by Mark Myers in the 2003 play-off s at Northern Arizona. Graham Wilbert turned in another consistent performance throw for 205 yards, con-necting on 25 of 35 attempts. Wilbert sailed through the month of October throwing his last interception, September 29th and going 104-of-155 for 1,035 yards during that same time period. FAU will return to Sun Belt Conference play when the team travels to Western Kentucky University, the fi nal road game for fi rst year Head Coach Carl Pelini, the seventh road game of the 2012 of the season. FAU leads the all-time series3-1, with two of the three victories coming on the road. The Sun Belt tilt will be car-ried on the SBC Network, and CSS locally for FAU.

RAGIN’ CAJUN NOTESThe Cajuns step out of conference play for the fi nal time during the regular season, playing at no. 7 (BCS) Florida on Saturday, Nov.10.

The Cajuns are coming off an impressive 40-24 win at ULM last week, the squad’s fi fth straight over the Warhawks.

Sophomore Terrance Broadway accounted for a career-high 460 yards of total off ense against ULM, completing 23-of-32 passes for 373 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for 87 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. In his last two games, Broadway has accounted for 747 yards passing, 858 yards of total off ense and has been responsible for eight touchdowns.

Broadway engineered six scoring drives of 75 yards or better against the Warhawks, including a monstrous 17-play, 99-yard drive that consumed 9:33 and led to the fourth quarter touchdown that put the game away.

Sophomore Jamal Robinson celebrated his fi rst career start by catching three passes for a career-high 153 yards, in-cluding touchdown catches of 52 and 81 yards. Playing in place of fi rst team All-SBC senior Javone Lawson, Robinson recorded his second straight 100-yard game (he had 5 catches for 106 yards vs, Arkansas State).

Rodney Gillis and Jemarlous Moten each recorded interceptions against ULM, giving the duo seven of the Cajuns’ nine interceptions this season. Gillis leads the team and ranks seventh nationally with four interceptions this year while Moten is right behind him, ranking 27th with three picks.

The Cajuns defense limited the Warhawks to just 74 yards rushing on 20 attempts to keep a tell-tale statistic intact. In the fi ve Cajuns victories this year, the Cajuns have held opponents to a total of 260 yards rushing (56.0 ypg) with no opponent gaining over 100 yards. In the three losses, the Cajuns have given up 829 yards rushing (276.3 ypg).

WARHAWK NOTESULM’s fi ve-game winning streak, the longest of the FBS-era (1994-pres.), ended with its 40-24 setback against UL-Lafayette... The Warhawks are now 2-2 on the season at Malone Stadium.

The offi cial attendence of Saturday’s game was 20,203, which was the second-highest total to visit Malone Stadium for a Sun Belt Conference game (21,929 - Oct. 4, 2008 vs. ULL).

Despite the loss against ULL, ULM remained in the polls for the ninth consecutive week as the squad gar-nered four votes in the USA Today/Coaches Poll released Sunday.

Brent Leonard set a new career-high with 168 receiving yards against ULL... His 168 receiving yards are the most by a ULM receiver in the Todd Berry era... Leonard’s receiving total is also the highest in the Sun Belt this season.

Brent Leonard tied the team high with 11 receptions vs. ULL... Earlier this season, Leonard made 11 catches in the 34-31 overtime win over Arkansas.

Kolton Browning connected with Tavarese Maye for an 81-yard TD in the fi rst quarter against ULL... It was the longest play from scrimmage for ULM this season and it is tied for the second-longest pass completion in the conference in 2012... The 81-yard hookup between Browning and Maye is tied for the ninth-longest pass play in program history.

Before leaving the ULL contest with an injury (fi rst quarter), Kolton Browning was 5-for-7 for 124 yards and one touchdown... He also rushed for 24 yards on two carries. Kolton Browning was replaced by Cody Wells and Wells fi nished the game against the Ragin Cajuns with 209 passing yards (18 completions, 31 attempts) with two touchdowns and two interceptions...

BLUE RAIDER NOTESWith 118 passing yards against WKU, Logan Kilgore went over the 2,000-yard mark for the season. Kilgore is just the second signal-caller in school history to record back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons after posting 2,231 yards in 2011. Kilgore joins Clint Marks who accomplished the feat in 2004 and 2005.

Freshman Jordan Parker had a huge night against the Sun Belt’s top ranked defense. Parker rushed for a career-high 151 yards on 32 attempts and one touchdown. In the fi rst quarter, Parker went 58 yards for a touchdown which went down as the longest run of his career.

Middle Tennessee registered its 25th 200-yard rushing game under Rick Stockstill with 224 yards against WKU. It marks the fourth time this season the Raiders have topped the 200 mark. WKU entered tonight’s game ranked No. 1 in the SBC in total defense and was allowing just 108 rushing yards per game.

With two touchdown receptions tonight against WKU, wide receiver Anthony Amos ran his season total to eight. That ranks tied for the third most in a single-season at MT and is three shy of equaling the school record of 11 set by Kerry Wright in 2004.

Sophomore Reggie Whatley turned in a huge game in the kickoff return department. Whatley broke a 96-yard return for a touchdown to give MT a 34-27 lead, which went down as the fi fth longest in school history. Whatley fi nished the game with a school-record 222 yards on kick returns, while also recovering a fumble for the Blue Raiders in the second half.

For the third time in four years, the Blue Raiders are bowl eligible. Middle Tennessee posted six wins in 2010 and had a historic 10-win season in 2009. MT has reached bowl eligibility four times under head coach Rick Stockstill.

MEAN GREEN NOTESWith a win in the home fi nale against South Alabama, North Texas would fi nish the home schedule with a winning record at 3-2, giving the Mean Green back-to-back home winning seasons for the fi rst time since 2003 and 2004.

North Texas is averaging 19,668 fans at Apogee Stadium, which currently is the second highest total in school history. North Texas needs 19,854 in the home fi nale to break the all-time record for highest aver-age in single season in school history.

Derek Thompson threw for 316 yards against Arkansas State, the seventh straight game he has passed for 200 yards and his third career 300-yard passing game. Thompson is only the second quarterback in school history to pass for 200-yards in seven straight games, passing Giovanni Vizza (2008) and Steve Ramsey (1968) and trails only Mitch Maher who passed for 200-yards in 10 straight games in 1994. Thompson can tie that record with 200 yards passing in the fi nal three regular season games. Thompson’s 316 yards passing rank as the 26th most in school history. Thompson now has 2,064 yards for the season which is 9th in school history in a single season. The school record for passing yards in a single season is 3,103, set by Mitch Maher in 1994. Thompson is on pace to fi nish in the top-fi ve in school history.

Darnell Smith had a career-high seven catches and 107 yards receiving. The walk-on wide receiver topped the 100-yard mark for the fi rst time in his career.

North Texas had 400-yards of total off ense for the fourth straight game. It is the fi rst time the Mean Green has had four straight games of total off ense under Dan McCarney and the fi rst time that has happened since 2008.

JAGUAR NOTESILB Jake Johnson posted a game- and USA season-best 15 total stops against Florida International on Saturday, which included his second sack of the season — it was the fi fth time in nine games this season that he has led the Jaguars in stops as well as his fourth contest with a double-fi gure tackle total. The senior has also been credited with at least one stop for loss in every game this fall. … Ross Metheny posted a school game-record 326 yards of total off ense against the Golden Panthers, completing 19-of-37 attempts for 270 yards and rushing for 56 more on eight carries. The junior transfer is eighth in the Sun Belt Conference in league contests with 212.8 yards of total off ense per outing, while since earning the starting job prior to USA”s game at Arkansas State he is averaging 225.3 yards per game through the air. … T.J. Glover opened the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown run — the longest by a Jag this fall — midway through the fi rst quarter, his fi rst score in the ground since USA defeated Arkansas-Monticello on Nov. 11, 2010. The sophomore also had a 36-yard punt return to set up another Jaguar score, fi nishing the contest with a team-leading 104 all-purpose yards; it was the fi rst time since the season opener against Texas-San Antonio that he has reached double digits in the category. … DL Montavious Williams was credited with a season-high fi ve tackles against FIU, including his fi rst career solo sack. The junior had six total stops in the previous four games combined, and had not recorded a tackle for loss since the Mississippi State contest on Sept. 22. … Junior WR Corey Besteda posted a career-high 96 yards on three catches, including the longest reception in school history when he caught a 75-yard touchdown pass on the opening play of the second half. It was the most receiving yards by a Jaguar this year after he had just one catch in the previous two outings combined. … Wes Saxton had no catches the fi ve games leading into USA’s match-up with the Golden Panthers, but went out and equaled his season total entering play after collecting a game-high six catches for 92 yards. The sophomore had at least one catch of two of the Jaguars’ four scoring drives, including a 24-yard reception late in the third quarter that helped lead to the fi nal points of the game. … Sophomore Will Thompson had his fi rst sack and fumble forced since the Jags defeated Henderson (Ark.) State on Oct. 29 last year, with USA turning its lone takeaway of the day into points when Glover scored four minutes later. It was the second straight week that Thompson has recorded three total stops after he had one in each of the two previous games.

HILLTOPPER NOTESJunior running back Antonio Andrews rushed for 136 yards — his seventh straight 100-yard game, which is one shy of tying the school record. In the process, he also went over 1,000 rushing yards for the season - marking the 16th time a Hilltopper has accomplished the feat. It is also the third straight season WKU has produced a 1,000-yard rusher as Bobby Rainey ran for 1,649 yards in 2010 and a school-record 1,695 in 2011. That last happened from 1997-99 as Willie Taggart had back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons and Rod Smart eclipsed the mark in 1999. Andrews fi nished the night with a career-best 392 all-purpose yards, adding 54 receiving yards, 182 kickoff return yards and 20 punt return yards to his rushing total. He now ranks fi fth on WKU’s single-season list with 1,972 all-purpose yards. The school record is 2,101 set by Bobby Rainey in 2009. His 392 all-purpose yards were also the most by a Hilltoppers since Joey Stockton set a Division I-AA record with 467 yards against Southern Illinois on Sept. 16, 1995. Andrews’ 182 kickoff return yards ties for the second most in a game in WKU history. Joey Stockton fi nished with 182 yards against Southern Illinois on Nov. 2, 1996.

Kawaun Jakes threw three touchdown passes in the game, giving him 18 for the season. That ties the school record set by Jeff Cesarone during the 1985 campaign. Jakes also now has 47 career touchdown passes — the second most in Hilltopper history, and three behind the school record of 50 set by Justin Haddix from 2003-06. Jakes also moved into third place on WKU’s career list for total off ense.

Tight end Jack Doyle caught three passes for 32 yards, moving him into a tie with Curtis Hamilton for second place on WKU’s career receptions list with 149.

Three Hilltoppers posted double-digit tackles against MTSU — Kiante Young and Jonathan Dowling each set new career highs with 14 and 10 tackles, respectively, while Andrew Jackson tied a career-high with 13 tackles. It was the fourth double-digit tackle game for Jackson in the last fi ve contests.

With 11.5 sacks this season, senior defensive end Quanterus Smith has already equaled his total from the previous three seasons combined. It has also put him within reach of a Sun Belt Conference record. With 23 career quarterback take-downs, he is just one shy of tying the league mark of 24 set by Middle Ten-nessee’s Erik Walden from 2004-07. The single-season league record for sacks is 13, set by Troy’s Jonathan Massaquoi in 2010 and equalled by Arkansas State’s Brandon Joiner in 2011.

PANTHER NOTESGeorgia State (1-9) closes the 2012 season with a trip to Maine for a 2 p.m. game Saturday at Alfond Stadium in Orono, Maine.

The Panthers are coming off a 53-27 loss to fi fth-ranked Old Dominion, while Maine fell 31-7 to No. 10 James Madi-son. Saturday’s game is the fi nal game in the career of 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.

Wide receiver Albert Wilson enjoyed an amazing day against Old Dominion with two of the longest plays in Georgia State history on back-to-back touches. First he fi elded a kickoff about four yards deep in the end zone and returned it for a 100-yard touchdown, the longest in school history and the second kickoff return for a touchdown of his career. Wilson had a 97-yard touchdown return at Alabama in 2010. On the fi rst play of Georgia State’s next possession after the Panthers took over on their own seven-yard line, Wilson hauled in a 93-yard touchdown pass from Ben McLane. Wilson had with six catches for 149 yards and three kickoff returns for 156 yards. He totalled a school-record 296 all-purpose yards.

Senior tight end Emmanuel Ogbuehi (pronounced oh-BOY-ee) is enjoying the most productive stretch of his career with 21 catches for 259 yards and three touchdowns over the last fi ve games. He is the Panthers’ second-leading receiver on the season with 25 catches for 282 yards and three touchdowns. Ogbuehi recorded his fi rst 100-yard game against Old Dominion with three catches for 108 yards, highlighted by a 55-yard reception that equals his career long. Against James Madison, Ogbuehi had a career-best six receptions and fueled a GSU comeback with a remarkable fourth quarter. He started a scoring drive with a 17-yard run and then capped it with a fi ve-yard touchdown reception. Then, with GSU trailing 28-14, he raced 54 yards on a fake punt down to the 10-yard line, setting up a touchdown that pulled the Panthers within 28-21. Ogbuehi began this stretch against New Hampshire when he caught four passes for 76 yards, highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown pass from Ben McLane.
