Cincinnati defensive end Trent Cole,
who wreaked havoc on East Carolina's pass-blocking schemes last Saturday, is
among three players from different schools to earn recognition as Conference
USA's football players of the week.
The conference office announced the
awards on Monday, noting that all three players helped their teams to
conference-opening victories.
C-USA Players of the Week:
OFFENSE
Darrell Hackney, QB, UAB: Hackney
completed 21-of-31 pass attempts for 398 yards and three touchdowns in UAB’s
35-28 win over Memphis. The 398 yards was the second-highest total in his
career as he went over the 4,000-yard mark in career passing yardage as a
Blazer.
DEFENSE
Trent Cole, DE, Cincinnati: Cole led a
Cincinnati defense that limited East Carolina to 11 yards rushing and 203
yards of total offense in a 24-19 victory. He recorded three first half
sacks, including one for a safety, and finished with four tackles for loss.
Cole had seven total tackles and added four quarterback hurries.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Luke Johnson, P, Southern Miss: Johnson
punted four times for an average of 42.5 yards per kick in USM’s win at
Tulane. Included was a season-long punt of 56 yards.
Compiled from a Conference
USA report.
C-USA teams pepper preseason hoops poll
A year after it placed a record six
men's basketball teams in the NCAA Tournament, Conference USA has six teams
ranked in the Top 40 poll of Lindy’s Basketball Magazine.
The preseason annual, which hit
newsstands last week, has Louisville and UAB in the Top 25. The Cardinals
are ranked No. 20 and the Blazers No. 25, while Cincinnati (27), DePaul
(33), Memphis (35) and Marquette (40) were listed in the Top 40.
The publication also ranked the top 10
players at each position, with C-USA producing four players on those lists.
Louisville’s Francisco Garcia is the No. 2-ranked small forward, Marquette’s
Travis Diener is listed sixth at point guard, Cincinnati’s Jason Maxiell is
the No. 6-rated power forward, and Sean Banks of Memphis is ranked ninth at
power forward.
