GAME NOTES: Instate foes square off in Tampa this weekend, as the 19th-ranked Miami-Florida Hurricanes hook up with the South Florida Bulls in non- conference play at Raymond James Stadium.

The Hurricanes wrapped up their successful ACC slate last weekend, as they picked up a 34-16 victory over Duke.

"That was a good win for us today to end up in the season," said head coach Randy Shannon. "It was the last time for the seniors to play at home, so it was a big win. It lets us finish right for the first time in a long time in the ACC. 5-3 is huge for us."

The team's five league wins is the most since Miami went 6-2 in 2005. With an 8-3 overall mark and two games remaining, including a bowl appearance, the Hurricanes have a shot at their first 10-win campaign since going 11-2 in 2003.

As for the Bulls, they too are coming off a victory, prevailing over Louisville, 34-22, last weekend. It was just the second win three games for USF, which improved to 7-3 overall and 4-1 at home. Including a bowl bout, the Bulls have three games remaining and would need to win all three in order to finish with 10 victories for the first time in school history.

USF and Miami have met just one time previously on the gridiron, with the Hurricanes scoring a 27-7 victory at the Orange Bowl in 2005.

Quarterback Jacory Harris overcame a couple of turnovers to throw for 348 yards and a pair of touchdowns, leading Miami past Duke over the weekend. The sophomore quarterback has had good and bad moments for Miami this season. Harris is the first Miami quarterback to go over 3,000 yards passing since Ken Dorsey did so in 2002, but his 17 interceptions are tied for third most in a school history for a single season.

Leonard Hankerson is Harris' go-to-guy through the air, as he leads the squad with 42 catches, 752 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Last weekend, Hankerson turned in a terrific performance, grabbing eight balls for 143 yards and a touchdown in the win over Duke.

"He can get behind guys all the time," stated coach Shannon. "I don't know what his 40 time is but he is always behind people. He has given us a spark in key situations and I think that long touchdown pass was one."

In the backfield, Miami has a variety of options in Graig Cooper (583 yards), Damien Berry (473, eight TDs) and Javarris James (454) and they have helped the Hurricanes to average 135.7 ypg on the ground.

The Hurricanes have done a decent job on the defensive side of the ball this season, as they are limiting opponents to 330.5 total ypg, including only 116.1 ypg on the ground. The unit, though, could stand to make a few more big plays, forcing only 16 turnovers on the campaign.

Last weekend, Miami did show some improvement in the turnover area, as it notched a pair of takeaways, including a 73-yard interception return for a touchdown by Darryl Sharpton in the fourth quarter that sealed the victory over Duke.

"Darryl will go down and get the wind knocked out and bounce right back up and keep going. But the one thing about Darryl is he is a competitor," said coach Shannon.

It was the first interception of the season for Sharpton, who ranks second the squad in tackles with 79, including 12 last weekend.

Quarterback B.J. Daniels put on a show last weekend, totaling 445 yards of offense and three touchdowns in a victory over Louisville. The red-shirt freshman, who was coming off the worst performance of his young career, rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns, while throwing for 304 yards and another score.

"He feels like he can conquer the world and a lot of times he can," said head coach Jim Leavitt.

Daniels, who stepped in after starter Matt Grothe was lost for the season, has done an outstanding job despite limited experience. He has thrown for 1,529 yards and 11 touchdowns, in addition to leading the team with 671 yards and six scores on the ground.

Moise Plancher added 68 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in last weekend's win, while A.J. Love pulled in four balls for 121 yards. Plancher is second on the club with 461 rushing yards five touchdowns, and Love is also second with 22 catches for 421 yards.

The Bulls' defense was outstanding to start to the season, but has had some issues over the past several weeks, allowing an average of 29.4 ppg over their last five outings. Still, the defense has done a respectable job in holding foes to 128.6 ypg on the ground and 190.6 ypg through the air, while forcing 21 turnovers.

Last weekend, USF put forth a solid effort on defense and held Louisville to 313 total yards, including only 81 rushing. The unit added three sacks and one takeaway and kept Louisville's offense to just two touchdowns.

Kion Wilson headed the charge with 12 tackles, including two for losses, and he continues to be the team's top tackler, with 91 on the campaign.

USF is a sound team all around, but Miami has a few more weapons on offense and that will give it enough of an edge to pull off a win on the road this weekend.

Predicted Outcome: Miami-Floriday 27, South Florida 23

(14) Virginia Tech (8-3) at Virginia (3-8)



Saturday, November 28th, 3:30 p.m. (et)



GAME NOTES: The 14th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies have gotten the better of state rival Virginia in recent years, and the two ACC squads will tangle this weekend in Charlottesville.

Virginia Tech has won its last three games to move to 8-3 overall. Last weekend, the team cruised to a 38-10 decision over NC State in Blacksburg, and the Hokies have allowed a total of 19 points during the current winning streak.

While Virginia Tech has played well lately, Virginia has completely fallen apart, losing five in a row to drop to 3-8 overall. Last weekend, the team simply couldn't keep pace with Clemson in a 34-21 road defeat. That 21-point effort actually marked the highest output for the club since October 10th, as offensive production has been a serious problem.

Virginia Tech has won the last five meetings with Virginia, and the Hokies hold a 48-37-5 advantage in the all-time series.

Ryan Williams, a star freshman tailback for Virginia Tech, padded his already impressive stats against NC State last time out. He finished with 120 yards and four touchdowns on 32 carries, proving capable of handling a heavy workload. Tyrod Taylor managed the game quite well from the quarterback position, as he completed 9-of-17 passes for 197 yards and one score with no interceptions. The Hokies finished with 397 yards in the contest and showed tremendous balance.

Defensively, Tech was dominant against NC State, limiting the Wolfpack to 259 total yards, including 14 rushing yards on 26 attempts. There were a couple of big plays given up through the air, but the Hokies posted an interception and recorded three fumble recoveries. Those three fumbles were all forced by Cody Grimm, who tied an NCAA record by forcing the giveaways on the first four defensive plays of the game for Tech.

"Those were kind of lucky," Grimm said after the game. "The first was a good play, but the second, I just got my hand on the ball. On the third, I don't know what happened."

"He's amazing," Tech head coach Frank Beamer said. "I never see him get tired. He keeps going the same speed all the time and he's a playmaker. The game makes sense and he has a knack of making plays."

Grimm leads the Tech defense with 93 total tackles, including nine TFLs, and he has forced seven fumbles. The Hokies are allowing only 16.0 ppg to opponents, as well as 300.5 total yards.

Virginia Tech is scoring 30.5 ppg this season to go along with 379.6 total ypg. The offense has posted 37 touchdowns to date, and Williams has been responsible for 15 of those on the ground. The star rookie has rushed for 1,355 yards at a clip of 5.6 yards per attempt and will certainly receive some ACC Player of the Year consideration. As for Taylor, who has rushed for 310 yards and four touchdowns, he has completed 55.9 percent of his tosses for 1,917 yards with 13 touchdowns and only three interceptions.

Virginia hasn't been nearly as productive offensively as Virginia Tech, as the Cavaliers are generating a mere 19.9 ppg and 267.3 total ypg. They are rushing for 92.2 ypg at a clip of 2.7 yards per carry, and they barely completed half of their passes. Jameel Sewell has just as many touchdown passes (seven) as interceptions, and while he has rushed for six touchdowns, his 63 net rushing yards suggest that he isn't too much of a threat with his legs. There is not a standout tailback or receiver on this offensively-challenged roster.

Opponents are scoring 24.9 ppg against Virginia, which is allowing 347.1 total ypg this season. The Cavaliers have actually been fairly solid against the run, as they are permitting a modest 3.9 yards per attempt. As for the pass defense, it has produced mediocre results. With 20 sacks and 19 total takeaways, Virginia has come up with a passable amount of big plays, although there is certainly some room for improvement.

Against Clemson last time out, Virginia was held to 273 total yards, including only 78 rushing yards on 40 attempts. The Cavaliers finished with three offensive touchdowns, including one passing score and one rushing touchdown from Sewell. Unfortunately, the effort wasn't good enough.

"Unfortunately we had some mistakes against a team that can now be called championship-caliber, having won their division," said Virginia coach Al Groh of Clemson. "Those mistakes created some field position issues that ultimately swung the scales."

Virginia only allowed 366 total yards to Clemson, but the Tigers scored twice on the ground and twice through the air en route to 31 points. While the Cavaliers permitted just 3.5 yards per rushing attempt, they allowed 19 of the 26 passes they faced to be completed for 234 yards.

Virginia Tech is the clear choice this weekend, as it will play well on both sides of the ball and silence the UVA faithful.

Predicted Outcome: Virginia Tech 34, Virginia 17

Western Kentucky (0-10) at Florida Atlantic (3-7)

Western Kentucky (0-10) at Florida Atlantic (3-7)






DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 28th, 4:00 p.m. (et)

FACTS & STATS: Site: Lockhart Stadium (20,500) -- Boca Raton, Florida. Television: None. Home Record: WKU 0-5, FAU 1-3. Away Record: WKU 0-5, FAU 2-4. Neutral Record: WKU 0-0, FAU 0-0. Conference Record: WKU 0-6, FAU 3-3. Series Record: Florida Atlantic leads, 1-0.

GAME NOTES: With one more chance to grab a victory this season coming this Saturday afternoon, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will try to defeat the Florida Atlantic Owls in a Sun Belt Conference tussle at Lockhart Stadium.

Not only is Western Kentucky winless on the season, but the team currently holds the nation's longest losing streak at 18 games. The last time the Hilltoppers were in action the team came so close to posting a victory, but fell short against UL-Monroe, 21-18. The loss dropped WKU to 0-5 on the road this season, and 0-6 in conference play.

As for the Owls, they are coming off an embarrassing, 47-21 setback to Troy. It was the third loss in the last four games for FAU, which is now just 3-3 in conference action. The Owls have endured some struggles at home this season, losing three of their four matchups at Lockhart stadium, but all three setbacks have come by a combined 11 points.

These two schools met for the first time last season, and the Owls grabbed a slim, 24-20 victory over the Hilltoppers in Kentucky.

The Hilltoppers actually put forth a respectable effort offensively against UL-Monroe, as the team racked up 383 total yards. However, that only led to 18 points, as Western Kentucky suffered, yet another loss. Bobby Rainey paced the team on the ground with 134 yards on 8.4 yards per attempt. Quarterback Kawaun Jakes added 46 rushing yards, while Brandon Smith scored the team's lone touchdown. Jakes was not very effective with his arm in the loss, as the quarterback completed just 50.0 percent of his throws for 188 yards. Jakes' performance is not surprising in the least bit, as the quarterback has struggled throughout most of the season and comes into this finale with just 1,249 yards and eight scores against seven interceptions. Fortunately the ground game has been a bit more consistent, as the team is rumbling for 177.0 ypg, with Rainey pacing the squad with 725 yards. However, after all is said and done the Hilltoppers are only producing 20.2 ppg, and that is not going to win many games.

Sure the Hilltoppers only surrendered 21 points against UL-Monroe, but the defense was abused throughout the contest and by the final whistle Western Kentucky had allowed 441 total yards, including 290 rushing yards on 7.1 yards per attempt. Western Kentucky's inability to stop the run has been the Achilles heel for this unit since day one, as the squad is being pulverized for 267.6 ypg on the ground, and out of the 56 touchdowns allowed by this defense, 33 have come via the run. However, the team's troubles with the run are not all that plague this unit, as the defense for WKU heads into this weekend allowing a whopping 506.5 total ypg, and that has led to 42.2 ppg. Thomas Majors is currently leading the team with 88 tackles on the year, after racking up nine against UL-Monroe.

The Owls did not do much of anything against Troy this past weekend, as the team totaled a mediocre 348 yards and that led to just 21 points. The ground game was paced by Alfred Morris, who rushed for 137 yards and one touchdown. Jeff VanCamp, who took over for the injured Rusty Smith, completed 22-of-33 passes for 193 yards and one touchdown, but he was also sacked five times. VanCamp has been a pleasant surprise since stepping in for Smith, as the signal caller comes into this contest with 886 yards and seven scores against just two interceptions. On top of VanCamp's performance there is Morris, who has quietly rushed for over 1,000 yards and currently sits with 1,112 yards and nine scores on the year. The surprising balance for this offensive attack has led to a healthy 27.2 ppg.

Offensively the Owls had some issues on Saturday, but defensively Florida Atlantic was completely dismantled by Troy, as the Trojans pulverized FAU for 651 total yards, including 483 yards and three touchdowns through the air. On top of that, the defense also was gashed for 168 rushing yards and three more touchdowns. While the team has not played well against the pass all year, stopping the run has been the biggest issue for this unit, as opponents are punishing Florida Atlantic for 224.7 ypg on the ground and out of the 46 touchdowns permitted by this defense, 32 have come via the run. Marcus Bartels is leading the team with 84 tackles on the year and is coming off an impressive showing against Troy where he collected 12 tackles to go along with one forced fumble and one interception.

The Owls had a rough performance against Troy, but expect Florida Atlantic to bounce back in a big way this weekend. The Hilltoppers should put up a fight, but ultimately the team will have to wait till next season to snap its losing streak.

Predicted Outcome: Florida Atlantic 45, Western Kentucky 28

Middle Tennessee (8-3) at UL-Monroe (6-5)

Middle Tennessee (8-3) at UL-Monroe (6-5)


DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 28th, 4:30 p.m. (et).

FACTS & STATS: Site: Malone Stadium (30,427) -- Monroe, Louisiana. Television: CSS. Home Record: MT 5-1, ULM 4-0. Away Record: MT 3-2, ULM 2-5. Neutral Record: MT 0-0, ULM 0-0. Conference Record: MT 6-1, ULM 5-2. Series Record: Middle Tennessee leads, 7-2.

GAME NOTES: The surging Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders head to Malone Stadium for a pivotal late-season Sun Belt Conference showdown with the UL-Monroe Warhawks.

Thanks to five wins in a row, the Blue Raiders have played their way into the hunt for a Sun Belt title. In order for that to happen, they'll need another win this weekend, coupled with a Troy loss to UL-Lafayette. Middle Tennessee capped its recent three-game homestand with a 38-14 win over Arkansas State last weekend.

Getting a win this week won't be easy against a ULM team that is unbeaten at home this season. At 6-5, the Warhawks really need a seventh win to help their chances for a bowl bid. They enter this game on the heels of last weekend's 21-17 loss at UL-Lafayette.

Middle Tennessee owns a 7-2 record all-time against UL-Monroe, which includes wins in each of the last three meetings.

Blue Raider quarterback Dwight Dasher is the complete package. In addition to his 19 touchdown passes on the season, Dasher also leads the team with 865 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. He ranks fifth nationally in total offense, averaging 306.9 yards per game. Over the course of his career Dasher has built a reputation as a winner, having compiled a 12-4 record as a starter at Middle Tennessee. In last week's win over Arkansas State, Dasher went 15- of-26 for 263 yards and threw touchdown passes to four different receivers. He also ran for 73 yards, while D.D. Kyles carried 11 times for a team-high 80 yards. On the year, the Blue Raiders rank second in the SBC in scoring offense (30.6 ppg), and rank third in total offense (429.6 ypg).

During MT's five-game win streak, linebacker Cam Robinson has amassed 45 tackles (6.5 TFL), four sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. In terms of knocking the ball loose, nobody has been doing a better job of that than Danny Carmichael, who ranks second in the nation with six forced fumbles on the year. At his weekly press conference, head coach Rick Stockstill also praised defensive lineman Brandon Perry, whom he said is playing his best football right now despite having notched only two sacks on the year. Perry's constant motor has opened things up for others, as was the case last week when he recorded one of the team's four sacks. The Blue Raiders have 15 sacks over the last three games and now rank seventh in the nation in that department.

ULM's bread and butter on offense is the running game. Frank Goodin has rushed for 1,086 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season and has eclipsed 100 yards in each of the last three games, including 108 last week against UL-Lafayette. As a team, the Warhawks rank second in the conference and 28th nationally in rushing offense, averaging 188 ypg. However, the passing game has been a different story. Quarterback Trey Revell is averaging only 183.1 yards per game and has struggled with his consistency. Last week, he threw for only 91 yards and was intercepted twice. Against Western Kentucky two weeks ago, he threw for 151 yards and was also picked off twice. With Revell struggling, defenses have loaded up the box and focused on trying to stop Goodin.

The Warhawk defense allowed only 314 total yards against the Ragin' Cajuns, including just 62 on the ground (1.6 ypc). Unfortunately, the turnovers by the ULM offense certainly didn't help out the defense. Neither did a missed 27- yard field goal that set up the go-ahead touchdown for ULL in the fourth quarter. While the Warhawks did limit ULL in terms of yardage, the Ragin' Cajuns came away with touchdowns on all three of their trips to the red zone. Ultimately, that was one of the deciding factors in the game, and something the ULM defense needs to address entering a big game this weekend. When they need a big play on defense, the Warhawks can usually turn to senior linebacker Cardia Jackson, who leads the conference with 109 tackles

Both teams desperately need a win, and it will come down to who wants it more. An interesting side note regarding the nine previous meetings in this series: the team to score first has won every single game.

Predicted Outcome: Middle Tennessee 27, UL-Monroe 23
