NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Cougars quarterback piling up the numbers
Houston quarterback Kevin
Kolb's resume keeps growing. Kolb threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns
in his most recent outing to become the Conference USA's all-time total
offense leader, leading the Cougars to a come-from-behind 34-17 victory
over Texas-El Paso last Saturday at Robertson Stadium in Houston.
Kolb also added 54 yards
rushing to become just the 10th player in NCAA Division I-A history to
compile more than 12,000 career yards. He has a C-USA record 12,150 total
offense (11,458 passing, 692 rushing). Kolb surpassed Louisville's Chris
Redman for the milestone.
In eight games, Kolb has
racked up 2,303 total passing yards, including four 300-yard games. Kolb's
total passing leads the league and ranks seventh in the nation with an
average of 287.88 yards per game.
ECU vs. USM part of pay-per-view twinbill
Conference USA and
CSTV Networks, Inc., have announced that today's C-USA football
contests featuring Central Florida at Houston and East Carolina
at Southern Miss will be available across the nation as part of
a special pay-per-view event.
The special presentation of
these matchups will be available live and on-demand via Internet video
streaming. The UCF at Houston game, which begins at 3:30 p.m., and the East
Carolina at Southern Miss game, which begins at 7:30 p.m., are also
available on CSTV.
Hokies
tame Tigers in key ACC battle
The Virginia Tech Hokies went
hunting big game on Thursday night and bagged the tenth-ranked Clemson
Tigers 24-7 before 66,233 fans at Lane Stadium. The critical win bumped Tech
to 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Clemson fell
to 7-2, 4-2 in the conference, according to a report at
hokiesports.com.
Just as in the victory last
week over Southern Miss, the rushing game and the defense did most of the
damage in the win. Branden Ore became the first Tech back to ever post
back-to-back 200-yard games. On the other side of the ball, the defense was
especially stout in stuffing the Tigers' vaunted offensive attack.
Clemson's offense came in with
the nation's top-ranked scoring offense (42.4 ppg), fourth-rankied rushing
offense (259.4 ypg), and sixth-ranked total offense (454.9 ypg). Against the
Hokies, the Tigers mustered just seven points, 80 yards on the ground, and
166 yards overall.
"It's so satisfying to have a
great team win," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. "We did it the right way —
we played well and didn't commit many penalties. I thought our defense was
outstanding and our offense did what we needed to do to win."
