Moore, Allison, Hands make All-Conference USA

The career progression ladder has been made complete for East Carolina linebacker Chris Moore, at least in terms of yearly recognition by Conference USA.

Moore was named first-team all-conference Tuesday along with ECU wide receiver Aundrae Allison. The pair were joined by teammate Marcus Hands, a third-team selection, on the  all-conference units announced by the league office in Irving, TX.

For Moore, it was the fourth straight year he has earned all-league recognition, earning a higher level of recognition each step of the way. This season's first-team selection caps off a career that began with Moore being named to the all-freshman team in 2002, followed by selections to the third and second teams, respectively, in 2003 and 2004.

Moore is a senior from Havelock, Allison is a junior from Kannapolis and Hands is a sophomore from Wilmington. Allison and Hands were both first-year players for the Pirates.

Memphis and Southern Mississippi led the league with five members on the first team. Memphis senior DeAngelo Williams found his name in a familiar spot as he earned first-team running back honors for a league record third-consecutive season.

Division champions Tulsa (West) and Central Florida (East) each had four first-team selections, as did UAB, which finished in a 5th-place tie with ECU in the East Division.

Texas-El Paso led the league with 11 selections overall on the three-team squad, placing eight on the second team and three on the third unit.

The All-Conference USA team is voted on by the league’s 12 head coaches and media members in each conference city. In its Tuesday release, the league said it would announce today its offensive, defensive, and special teams players of the year as well as the recipients of its freshman and coach of the year awards.

Indians to face C-USA foe in New Orleans Bowl

Sun Belt Conference co-champion Arkansas State has accepted an invitation to play in the New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 20 against a team from Conference USA. The game will mark ASU's first bowl appearance as Division I-A member.

This year's game will be played in Lafayette, La, instead of its normal home, the Louisiana Superdome, because of the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans area.

The Indians, 6-5 overall, ties with Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe for the Sun Belt title, but prevailed according to the league's tiebreaker formulae.

Arkansas State last played in the postseason in 1987 as a I-AA member.
