WVU,
Pirates to be shown on ESPN 2
Kickoff time for East Carolina's football game with
No. 5 West Virginia, scheduled for Sept. 23 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, has
been set for 4:30 p.m. (EDT) and will be televised on ESPN 2, according to a
release from the ECU athletic media relations department.
The game will mark the Mountaineers' sixth
visit to Greenville. The last WVU-ECU matchup in Greenville was a 48-7
Mountaineers victory over the Pirates on Sept. 6, 2003.
ECU will observe Pirate Club weekend when the
Pirates host the Mountaineers.
UAB's Felder honored for TD-preventing strip
After one of the most prolific receiving nights in
school history, Texas-El Paso wide receiver Johnnie Lee Higgins has been
named Conference USA offensive player of the week.
Defensive honors went to UAB's Chris Felder, whose
forced fumble saved the Blazers' win over East Carolina. Houston's Ben Bell
picked up special teams honor after his showing in a win over Tulane.
Higgins posted career-highs for catches (13) and
receiving yardage (162) in UTEP's 38-35 overtime loss to 24th-ranked Texas
Tech. He also scored two touchdowns on 13 and 39-yard passes from Jordan
Palmer. Higgins second touchdown came with 1:04 remaining in regulation to
tie the game at 35-35. The 13 catches marked the second-best game total in
school history.
Felder made the biggest play of UAB's 17-12 victory
over East Carolina as he stripped Pirate wide receiver Phillip Henry of the
ball at the Blazer one-yard line with just over a minute remaining in the
game, preserving the win for UAB. Felder finished the contest with four
tackles, all solos.
After not seeing any action last week, Bell stepped
in for an injured T.J. Lawrence and nailed all six of his extra points as
well as a 38-yard field goal in the Cougars' 45-7 win over Tulane.
The player of the week honors were announced on the
league website.
League volleyball accolade for Pirates' Krug

averaging 3.23 per game. The senior recorded two double-doubles last week,
notching 34 assists and 12 digs against North Florida and going for 42
assists and 20 digs versus Penn.
