Arkansas State:
JONESBORO (AP) — Arkansas State senior receiver Allen Muse has left the
Red Wolves football team.
ASU head coach Gus Malzahn said in a statement Tuesday that Muse “has
faced tremendous tragedy in his life” in recent years. Malzahn said that after
a discussion with Muse that it was decided he should focus on his personal life
and family.
Muse was arrested last Wednesday on a misdemeanor complaint after
allegedly breaking down the door to a bathroom where his wife had locked
herself inside.
Florida Atlantic:
BOCA RATON, Fla. — For $2 million, Florida Atlantic is getting two
chances to knock off a storied college football program.
Odds are, the Owls will be earning that money.
Over the next two weekends, the Owls — a program with just two wins in
the last 22 months — may as well be considered temporary members of the
Southeastern Conference. They visit No. 7 Georgia (2-0) on Saturday, then hit
the road again next weekend to face No. 1 Alabama, getting $1 million each time
for games that will be widely expected as routs.
Florida International:
Bethune-Cookman's football game at Miami on Saturday concludes a
two-year contract with the Hurricanes. But it doesn't conclude the Wildcats'
plans to play in South Florida.
B-CU has signed a two-year deal to play games at Florida International
in Miami next season (Sept. 14) and in 2014 (Sept. 6), the athletic directors
of both schools confirmed.
Louisiana:
LAFAYETTE — There is no quarterback controversy on the
Louisiana-Lafayette football team, according to Ragin’ Cajun head coach Mark
Hudspeth.
Instead, Hudspeth prefers to think of it as a wealth of riches ...
especially after the way Terrance Broadway played Saturday night.
The former Capitol High standout came on in relief of starter Blaine
Gautier, and hit 10 of 16 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown in the Cajuns’
surprisingly easy 37-24 road win at Sun Belt Conference rival Troy. Broadway
also rushed for 43 yards and guided ULL to two key second-half touchdowns after
Gautier left the game with bruised ribs.
Louisiana-Monroe:
The day after perhaps the biggest victory in the history of
Louisiana-Monroe’s football program — an overtime win against then-No. 8
Arkansas last Saturday — Coach Todd Berry was already wishing his team would
forget about the thousands of fans who had greeted its return to campus at 2
a.m. He hoped the players would remember they had arrived not by plane, but by
bus.

MTSU:
MURFREESBORO — The modern version of the MTSU-Memphis football series
will write its fifth chapter Saturday night.
Two more games are contracted in 2013 and 2014, but could that be the
end of the in-state series, with Memphis moving to the Big East Conference and
the Sun Belt expanding MTSU’s conference schedule in 2015?
North Texas:
For the better part of two years, Antoinne Jimmerson prepared for the
opportunity he knew would come sometime down the line.
He lifted weights, packed on 20 pounds of muscle, ran hard in practice
and learned everything he could from Lance Dunbar, his record-setting
predecessor.
None of that work Jimmerson put in after his senior season in high
school made him feel better than his fourth carry in North Texas’ win over
Texas Southern last week.
Jimmerson broke through the line and burst downfield for 39 yards.
Suddenly, the redshirt freshman started to feel like himself again.
South Alabama:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- For the next two weeks, the South Alabama Jaguars
will be collecting some "blood money."
That'’s how South Alabama football coach Joey
Jones described the Jaguars'’ upcoming road trips to North Carolina
State on Saturday and to Mississippi State the following Saturday, and also a
visit to Tennessee in 2013.
Jones termed it that way while responding to a question Sunday night at
the Over the Mountain Touchdown Club, where he was the guest speaker at the
Hilton Hotel Perimeter Park South.
"I read an article recently called '‘Blood
Money,'’ and that'’s a good analogy," Jones said of the major Division I
football schools giving smaller D-I schools a fat paycheck to come to their
place to play. "You have to take a beating in those games."
Troy:
TROY, AL - Veterans Memorial Stadium has been the setting for 383
collegiate football games since its opening in 1950. This Saturday will mark a
historic occasion for the 63-year old building as Troy plays host to
Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State in a game that will kickoff at
6:04 p.m. and will be broadcast by ESPN3.
The visit south by the Bulldogs marks the first-ever trip to Troy by a
team from the conference that has produced the last six BCS National Champions.
It will be the third time a team from an automatic qualifying conference has
played the Trojans on their home turf; the previous two, Missouri and Oklahoma
State, both went home with a loss.
WKU:
Quanterus Smith has always been sort of a diamond in the rough.
There’s no hiding now.
Smith, a 6-foot-5-inch, 250-pound defensive end, made a statement last
week when he recorded three sacks for a net loss of 27 yards at No. 1 Alabama.
The senior now appears destined for the NFL. He’s ranked No. 20 of 194
defensive ends, according to
nfldraftscout.com.
The NFL once seemed like an unlikely destination for Smith, a high
school senior who was virtually unrecruited.
