NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
NFL
rosters filled with C-USA alums
A total of 85 players from Conference USA schools
appeared on opening day rosters of NFL teams as the league opened its 87th
season this past weekend.
All 12 C-USA football programs are represented, with
at least two players appearing from each of the schools. Southern Miss has
the most former players on current NFL rosters with 15, while Central
Florida has 13 and Marshall and Memphis each have 11. Included are 13
players that have made at least one Pro Bowl appearance in their NFL
careers.
All but four NFL teams — the Chicago Bears,
Pittsburgh Steelers, San Diego Chargers and Seattle Seahawks — have at least
one player from a C-USA school. The Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots
and St. Louis Rams have the most players from C-USA schools with six apiece,
according to a release on the C-USA website.
For the second straight season, Conference USA
produced the highest number of starting quarterbacks among all conferences.
Buffalo's J.P. Losman (Tulane), Green Bay's Brett Favre (Southern Miss),
Jacksonville's Byron Leftwich (Marshall), Miami's Daunte Culpepper (UCF) and
the New York Jets Chad Pennington (Marshall) all started under center on
opening week. Pennington was the week one AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
After standing alone with seven starting
quarterbacks in 2005, the Atlantic Coast Conference tied C-USA with five
starting QB's in 2006.
A pair of highly-successful NFL head coaches also
have ties to C-USA schools. Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith, the 2005
NFL Coach of the Year, was a two-time All-American defensive back at Tulsa,
while Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, a two-time NFL Coach of the Year,
served as an offensive line coach for three seasons at Texas-El Paso.

Southern Miss coach Bower calls Pack "scary"
Southern Miss hosts N.C. State on Saturday at 7 p.m.
and Golden Eagles coach Jeff Bower discussed the matchup at his weekly news
conference, according to a release on the Southern Miss athletic website.
N.C. State took a 21-17 win over Southern Miss last
season in Raleigh.
"They are a scary football team," Bower said.
"They're athletic and talented. They are playing very well on defense.
They're only giving up 257 yards per game. They are physical and athletic.
It will be a physical game, I assure you of that.
"They are probably not feeling too good about
themselves after the loss to Akron. We'll see a good football team coming in
here with a lot of talent. They will make you prepare very hard this week in
order to win. We've got to do some things better and play a physical game
against them. I'm impressed with them. Their running back is a big time
player. He's averaging 7.5 yards per carry. He got banged up in the last
game and didn't play a lot. I don't know the extent of his injury, but he's
very talented."
Rice goalkeeper McClintock gets national honor
Rice senior goalkeeper Amy McClintock earned
National Soccer Coaches Association of America player of the week
recognition for the week of Sept. 13. McClintock recorded a career-high 10
saves to propel the Owls to a 1-0 victory over No. 8-ranked Texas.
The senior also held Houston Baptist scoreless in a
4-0 contest on Friday. She made 10 stops against the Longhorns to set a new
career high. McClintock has maintained a 0.35 goals against average (29th
nationally) and .944 save percentage (tied for 16th nationally) this season.
