A Recap Of Week 3 C-USA Games

[Harry]

Oklahoma 51, Tulsa 20

Tulsa took a beat-down from 14th-ranked Oklahoma, and fell to 1-2. Tulsa will have the week off before hosting a rather dreadful looking Iowa State team on Thursday the 26th.

Arkansas 24, Southern Miss 3

Southern Miss fell to 0-3, despite Arkansas' starting QB Brandon Allen going down in the 1st quarter. Things won't get easier at Boise State on the 28th.

North Texas 34, Ball State 27

North Texas improved to 2-1 with a tough come-from-behind win over Ball State, thanks to a fairly heroic effort from QB Derek Thompson. Unfortunately, a trip to Georgia is next up, and everyone from College Football Gameday to the Betfair's news site, a sports exchange online where you can put real money on the game outcomes, will have the Mean Green as major underdogs.

Bethune-Cookman 34, Florida International 13

This miserable home loss dropped FIU to 0-3, and has them looking like league bottom-dwellers.

Florida Atlantic 28, South Florida 10

It's always good to pick up that first win, but Florida Atlantic still has improving to do, and a win over South Florida is looking less and less impressive these days.

Middle Tennessee 17, Memphis 15

Despite its 0-2 record, Memphis is a capable football team, so this was a solid win for Mid Tenn. At 2-1, the Blue Raiders will head to Florida Atlantic next with a good chance to snag a win on the road.

Rice 23, Kansas 14

Rice picked up a nice home win to improve to 1-1 after a respectable loss to Texas A&M to open the season. With a number of winnable games on the horizon, Rice could be positioned for a strong league season.

UTEP 42, NM State 21

This dominant road win helped UTEP improve to 1-1 after a tough opening loss to New Mexico.

Ohio 34, Marshall 31

Tough loss for Marshall, who nearly rallied to improve to 3-0. A trip to Blacksburg to play Virginia Tech next week will keep the pressure on the Thundering Herd.

Arizona 38, UTSA 13

UTSA fell to 1-2 with a rather listless road loss to what looks like a solid Arizona team.

Florida Atlantic 28, South Florida 10

It's always good to pick up that first win, but Florida Atlantic still has improving to do, and a win over South Florida is looking less and less impressive these days. Give FAU Coach Pellini some credit for grabbing a big win against a state rival.

My, how the mighty have fallen. It was only a few years ago USF was #2 in the AP poll. Think Jim Leavitt is somewhere laughing his keister off? That FAU team is horrible. USF just lost any decent recruit they were in on with that result.

It is going to take some time for Willie Taggart but boy he sure is having a rough start there. I do think he will eventually turn it around.
