Conference USA officially gets a new look July 1, 2013, while maintaining the same commitment to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities.

Eight institutions, including the return of charter member Charlotte along with FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA, will join with East Carolina, Marshall, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTEP.

From its beginning in 1995, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. Throughout the changes during the C-USA history, the conference has held onto its strong foundation that reflects the league’s national presence. These 16 schools have compiled numerous athletic and academic achievements. Additionally, the C-USA footprint will grow by nearly 20 percent, while providing the geography that allows for a divisional scheduling model that will be beneficial to the student-athletes, fan-friendly and cost effective.

Conference USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball).

The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom, in addition to sport specific All-Academic teams.

C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport.

SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELDConference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

The league has also had nine national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 700 NCAA appearances.

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELDC-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 18 years, 176 student-athletes earned national Capital One Academic All-America honors, while 618 were named All-District. In addition, more than 26,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA ON TVC-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports.

As one the largest FBS conferences in 2013, C-USA membership will include institutions in 12 of the Top 65 television markets, eight in the Top 40 and four in the Top 25 media markets according to Nielson. C-USA home markets next year will include more than 14.5 million TV households, a 43 percent increase from a year ago.

C-USA DIGITAL NETWORKThe C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights and conference-produced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and that number just keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.

C-USA IN THE COMMUNITYThe conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 16 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.

GOVERNANCEConference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.

A PROUD HISTORYConference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996.

The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner.

C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001.

• Louisiana Tech lost 32 seniors and most of its coaching staff after going 9-3 in 2012 and being ranked as high as 18th, but rebounded quickly with the december hiring of new head coach Skip Holtz. Throughout december and January, holtz compiled a coaching staff and recruiting class, culminating in 21 National Letters of Intent being received on National Signing day. holtz won back-to-back c-USa championships at east carolina in 2008-09 and led the Pirates to four straight bowl appearances.

• Sophomore RB Kenneth Dixon was named a Freshman all-american last season as well as the Wac’s Freshman of the Year. he led the nation in scoring with 28 total touchdowns (27 rushing) break’s Marshall Faulk’s Ncaa records for most touchdowns scored, most rushing touchdowns scored and most points, all for a freshman. dixon had 200 rushes for 1,194 yards, just missing averaging 100 yards a game at 99.5. dixon set the Wac record for most rushing touchdowns at any class level.

• The Bulldogs return all but one defensive lineman, making that unit the most experienced it has been in several years. Kendrick James, Vontarrius Dora, Shakeil Lucas, Vernon Butler, Kevin Kisseberth and iK enemkpali all started or received significant playing time in 2012.

• For the first time in 60 years the Mean Green had three players rush for more than 500 yards in a single season. UNT eclipsed the 2,000 yard rushing mark for the third time in the last four seasons. Brandin Byrd and antoinne Jimmerson return and they combined to rush for 1,419 yards and nine touchdowns. It was the first time since 1952 that three UNT players amassed 500 yards rushing in a season. It was the third time in school history that the feat has occurred, with the previous time coming in 1951.

• Running back antoinne Jimmerson rushed for the most yards in a single season by a true freshman at North Texas since 2004 with 544 yards in 2012. Carlos Harris had 263 yards receiving, which was the most by a true freshman since the 2009 season.

• North Texas allowed the fewest sacks in the nation last season with six. In nine of the 12 games the Mean Green did not allow a sack.

• The Mean Green defense in 2012 held opponents to the fewest points allowed given up in a single season since 2006. In addition the North Texas defense held four opponents to 14 points or less, the most in a single season since 2003.

• Rice returns 19 of 22 starters from last year’s 7-6 armed Forces Bowl champion team as well as 54 total lettermen. at the same, they will be led by an intact coaching staff. This is the first time in David Bailiff ’s seven seasons that the team will be guided by the same staff.

• The owls dominated the second half of the 2012 Bell helicopter armed Forces Bowl, defeating air Force, 33-14. Junior WR Jordan taylor was named MVP after catching nine passes for a career-high 153 yards and his first three touchdowns of the season. Rice set a team record for total offense in a bowl game with 508 yards, surpassing the 455 the owls had in the 2008 Texas Bowl.

• Senior QB taylor mcHargue completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,209 yards and 12 touchdowns with just five interceptions. he was also the leading rusher among quarterbacks in c-USa, gaining 667 yards on 164 attempts. Mchargue tied for fifth in the league in rushing touchdowns with 11.

• Senior K Chris Boswell had six field goals of 50-plus yards last season, the most in the FBS. his 11 career field goals from 50 yards or longer are nearly triple the total of the next-highest returning kicker (aaron Jones of Baylor has four). Boswell set school season records for field goals (23) and kick scoring (114) in addition to career records for field goals (51) and field goal attempts (67) and kick scoring (270). he led c-USa in kick scoring and field goals and finished fourth overall in scoring.

• todd monken takes over as the new Southern Miss head coach this fall after serving as offensive coordinator at oklahoma State. he is the third Golden eagles head football coach of the last four hired whose previous job was offensive coordinator at oklahoma State. each of the previous two (Jeff Bower and Larry Fedora) won at least one conference USa championship during his tenure at the school.

• Senior dB Deron Wilson has started all 39 games of his career for the Golden eagles. his 34 passes broken up ranks second on the school’s career chart (behind Greg Brooks/2000-03 who had 47) and his eight interceptions are the most of any active Golden eagle. Wilson registered 61 tackles and nine pass breakups last season.

• Senior LB alan Howze is the team’s leading returning tackler after finishing second with 66 stops last season. he added five tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and forced two fumbles.

• The Golden eagles return three of their top five rushers from a season ago, including sophomore Jalen Richard, who tallied 426 yards and four scores on the ground in 2012.

• Southern Miss again plays a challenging non-conference schedule that includes trips to Nebraska, arkansas and Boise State in September.

• Senior WR Ryan Grant concluded the 2012 season with seven 100-yard games, which was the most among c-USa players, and tied the school single-season mark set by Marc Zeno in 1987. Grant finished with 76 receptions for 1,149 yards. In just three seasons, he ranks eighth in school history in yards per catch (14.5), 11th in receiving yards (1,730) and 12th in touchdown catches (12).

• Senior K Cairo Santos was named the 2012 winner of the prestigious Lou Groza award. Santos completed one of the finest campaigns by a kicker in Ncaa history by finishing a perfect 21-of-21 on field goal attempts. Santos was named to the all-conference USa First Team and joined 1996 Groza winner Marc Primanti as the only kickers in FBS history to stay perfect throughout a season in which they attempted 20 or more. Santos finished with one more make than Primanti, who was 20-of-20.

• UaB returns eight starters on both sides of the ball for the 2013 season, including an offensive unit that ranked among the best in school history last fall. The Blazers registered 5,029 offensive yards and averaged 28.2 points last season, third-most in the UaB record book in both categories. In addition, UaB’s 308.8 passing yards per game established a school record and was the 19th-best mark in the country in 2012.

• The Blazers will bring back their top passer, leading rusher and best receiver from last season for the 2013 campaign. QB austin Brown set a UaB freshman record for passing yards in a season with 2,673 while Darrin Reaves tallied the third-highest rushing total for a season in Blazer annals with 1,037 yards. Reaves also had 13 rushing touchdowns. WR Jackie Williams registered 58 receptions for 799 yards, team bests in both.

• Jackie Williams will enter his senior season in 2013 with the nation’s longest consecutive games streak with at least one reception. Williams has now caught at least one pass in every game he has played for the Blazers during his career and has a catch in 35 straight contests.

• K ty Long has made 30-of-36 field goals in his first two years as a Blazer and his 83.3 percent accuracy mark is the best in UaB history. he has not missed a field goal from inside 43 yards during his career. he owns the two-longest field goals in UaB history having kicked a 54-yarder at ohio State and a 53-yarder against Se Louisiana.

• UTSa begins its third season of play this fall and first as a member of conference USa. The Roadrunners were 8-4 overall and 3-3 in their first and only season in the Wac a year ago. That came on the heels of a 4-6 inaugural campaign as an FcS independent in 2011.

• The Roadrunners return first-team all-conference safety triston Wade. he tied for the team lead with four interceptions, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his 12 starts a year ago and also ranked second on the squad with 74 tackles (45 solos) and 11 pass breakups. Wade has had a hand in a total of 13 turnovers (seven fumbles/six INTs) in the first 22 games of his career.

• Junior punt returner Kenny Harrison ranked second in the FBS last fall with his 17.3 average. he returned 12 punts for 208 yards, including a 79-yarder for a score against Texas State.

• The Roadrunners once again will feature one of the nation’s smallest senior classes. UTSa has 10 seniors (nine scholarship) on its 2013 roster and had a national-low six (five scholarship) last season.

• UTSa ranked seventh nationally with its 1.17 turnover margin per game last season. The Roadrunners recovered 16 fumbles and intercepted 13 passes, giving them a total of 29 forced turnovers (t-20th FBS) in the season’s 12 outings. conversely, UTSa gave the ball away just 15 times last season (8 FRs/7 INTs). The Roadrunners scored 22 times (15 Tds/7 FGs) following an opponent turnover in 2012.

c-USA TEAMS IN THE FINAL POLLS

Alex Singleton ran for 100 yards and plunged over the top for a one-yard score in overtime to lift Tulsa to a 33-27 victory over UCF on Saturday in the Conference USA championship game.

Tulsa won the C-USA championship for the first time since 2005 and is off to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

Singleton came up with just the second 100-yard game of his career, breaking the school record for touchdowns in the process. He also had a 7-yard score in the second quarter to break Tarrion Adams’ mark with his 40th overall touchdown and 39 on the ground.

After Cory Dorris blocked Shawn Moffitt’s 38-yard field goal on Central Florida’s possession to start overtime, Tulsa (10-3) kept the ball on the ground on five straight plays. Singleton was initially given a touchdown on second-and-goal, but officials ruled on replay that he was down inside the 1.

That was no problem for the burly back whose specialty is short yardage.

UCF quarterback Blake Bortles accounted for three touchdowns for UCF (9-4).

The Golden Hurricane tied it at 27 with 5:06 remaining when Trey Watts picked up a punt that had been batted forward by UCF’s Kemal Ishmael and raced 54 yards up the Tulsa sideline for a touchdown. A.J. Bouye blocked Daniel Schwarz’s extra-point attempt to preserve the tie.

Tulsa limited Latavius Murray to short gains and then forced an incomplete pass by

Bortles in overtime, leading to Moffitt’s field goal try.

The Golden Hurricane dumped a cooler on coach Bill Blankenship after what looked like the game-winning touchdown, but got to celebrate again after Singleton’s “second” score. Offensive lineman Jared Grigg zoomed around the field to hold up a Conference USA champions sign to the crowd, and the team mobbed near midfield to accept a bid to the Liberty Bowl.

UCF will play in the Beef `O’ Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla.

It was the third time the teams have met in the Conference USA championship game since 2005. Tulsa won it

in `05, with the Golden Knights taking the crown in `07. The Golden Hurricane took the rubber match by winning the second meeting between the teams at H.A. Chapman Stadium in three weeks.

Watts, the son of ex-Oklahoma quarterback and congressman J.C. Watts, had 134 yards rushing. Cody Green threw for 153 yards, with just 41 after halftime as the Golden Hurricane relied on their ground game to produce its ninth 200-yard performance of the season.

Bortles threw for 194 yards and a pair of 8-yard touchdown passes to Breshad Perriman and Quincy McDuffie. He also ran for 60 yards and another score.

Murray became the first player in UCF history to rush for touchdowns in eight straight games in a single season, scoring on

a 2-yard TD run to cut Tulsa’s lead to 21-20. The extra point was blocked by Trent Martin, but Bortles’ 28-yard scramble put the Golden Knights up 27-21 late in the third quarter.

UCF then had back-to-back three-and-outs before Watts tied it with his return.

No. 23 Southern Miss claimed its first Conference USA Football Championship Game victory with a 49-28 win at No. 6 Houston. Golden Eagles wide receiver Tracey Lampley was named the game’s Most Valuable Player after posting 240 all-purpose yards and two touchdown catches.

Southern Miss (11-2, 6-2 C-USA) scored the game’s first 14 points and would never trail en route to posting a C-USA Championship Game record 49 points and seven touchdowns.

What began as a defensive battle that included five punts, a missed field goal and a turnover on downs during the first seven combined possessions turned into an offensive show when senior quarterback Austin Davis hit Ryan Balentine with a 14-yard pass to open the scoring with 1:09 remaining in the opening quarter.

After forcing Houston (12-1, 8-0 C-USA) into its fourth punt in five possessions, Southern Miss began the second quarter with a three-play, 36-yard drive that took 59 seconds to open up a 14-0 lead over a Cougar team that had faced just one 14-0 deficit all season.

Houston would answer with its first touchdown of the day on its ensuing possession, sustaining an 11-play, 65-yard drive that was capped off by a nine-yard touchdown pass from Case Keenum to Justin Johnson.

After its defense forced a three-and-out on the next Southern Miss possession, Houston evened the score at 14 with a Michael

Hayes one-yard touchdown dive that followed a 50-yard Keenum-to-Johnson pass down the middle of the field.

Davis and the Golden Eagles had an immediate answer, capping a five-play drive with a 69-yard strike to Dominique Sullivan to regain the lead and take a 21-14 advantage into halftime. The pass play was the longest in C-USA Championship Game history.

Southern Miss increased the lead with the help of its special teams when Furious Bradley

blocked and recovered a Houston punt, then rambled 11 yards for the touchdown.

A promising Houston drive was cut off when Keenum’s back-shoulder throw attempt was

intercepted in the end zone by Deron Wilson for a touchback. Three plays later, Houston would return the favor as Phillip Steward corralled a deflected pass by Davis and took it to the Southern Miss four yard line.

Michael Hayes would punch it in on the next play for Houston and again pull within one score, 28-21.

The Golden Eagle offense answered back, piecing together an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive the featured four plays of longer than 10 yards that was capped by a 17-yard scamper by Desmond Johnson to make the score 35-21.

Another quick series from Houston that ended in a punt, was countered by another quick-attack Southern Miss scoring drive. The three-play 81-yard drive saw Davis find Lampley on a 61-yard touchdown pass with less

than a minute remaining in the third quarter.Each team would add another touchdown

in the final quarter to render the final score of 49-28.

The victory gave Southern Miss its first C-USA football championship since 2003. The Golden Eagles have won five C-USA titles, more than any other school.

Fueled by a two-touchdown performance by running back Latavius Murray, the UCF Knights earned a 17-7 win over SMU to claim the 2010 Conference USA Football Championship. The Knights claimed their second C-USA Championship title in the past four years. UCF also accepted the bid to compete in the 2010 AutoZone Liberty Bowl with the win.

Jeff Godfrey completed 15 of 19 passes for 167 yards, including a 5-yard TD throw to Murray to finish a long scoring drive in the opening quarter. Murray also scored his 10th rushing TD of the season, breaking a 36-yard run to make it 17-0 in the third quarter.

SMU (7-6), which was trying to win its first league championship since sharing the Southwest Conference crown in 1984, scored on Kyle Padron’s 22-yard pass to Aldrick Robinson early in the fourth quarter.

Padron was 18 of 34 for 220 yards passing, but he also was intercepted twice and sacked five times. He drove his team into UCF territory in the closing minutes, only to have the Knights stop the threat on downs with their final sack.

UCF won for the eighth time in nine games, including three in a row since a 31-21 loss to Southern Miss ended a brief stay in the Top 25.

The first national ranking in the

program’s 30-year history lasted one week, yet accentuates just how far the Knights have come since going 0-11 in 2004 -- George O’Leary’s first season, and the year before UCF joined Conference USA.

SMU’s turnaround in three years under former NFL and Hawaii coach June Jones has been just as impressive. Finally showing signs of recovering from being hit with the NCAA death penalty for rules violations, the Mustangs are headed to bowl games in

consecutive seasons for the first time since 1983 and 1984.

UCF set the tone for a dominating performance, marching 73 yards in 13 plays following the opening kickoff to take a 7-0 lead on Godfrey’s short

TD throw to Murray. Nick Cattoi’s 29-yard field goal made it 10-0 on the final play of the first half.

The Knights held the ball for more than 13 minutes of the first quarter, and the combined 10 points for the teams were the fewest scored in an opening half in the six-year history of the Conference USA Championship Game.

Murray’s second touchdown finished an eight-play, 85-yard drive that extended UCF’s lead to 17 heading into the fourth quarter.

The 6-foot-3, 221-pound running back was voted the game’s most valuable player. He carried 22 times while sharing

the workload with Ronnie Weaver and Godfrey, one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks.

Darius Johnson had nine receptions for 105 yards for SMU. Zach Line rushed for 94 yards on 18 attempts for the Mustangs.

Dominique Lindsay and Giavanni Ruffin each ran for two touchdowns while East Carolina’s defense hung in against Houston’s powerful offense to help the Pirates beat the No. 18 Cougars 38-32 in the Conference USA championship game Saturday.

Dwayne Harris also had a big day with 123 yards receiving and a 22-yard touchdown catch. He also had a 69-yard kickoff return to set up East Carolina’s first touchdown to earn MVP honors, helping the Pirates (9-4) beat the mistake-prone Cougars (10-3) for their second straight league title that will send them back to the Liberty Bowl.

East Carolina is the first team to win consecutive C-USA titles since the league went to divisional play in 2005.

Case Keenum had a big day for Houston, completing 56 of 75 passes for title game-record 527 yards and five touchdowns. Most of those went to James Cleveland, who had 19 catches for another game-record of 241 yards to go with three scores.

But while Houston had stretches where it easily moved the ball, the Cougars repeatedly cost themselves with the kind of mistakes that East Carolina needed to hang around. Keenum threw three interceptions, including one in the end zone and a second while under pressure that Van Eskridge returned 30 yards to Houston’s 7 to set up Lindsay’s score that gave East Carolina a 31-19 lead early in the fourth.

Houston also lost a fumble that East Carolina converted into a field goal, while Matt Hogan missed two extra-point attempts and had a third blocked late in the game.

Then, after the Cougars defense stopped Lindsay on a fourth-and-1 to get the ball back with 1:47 to play, Keenum lofted a ball deep for L.J. Castile in the end zone that bounced off the shoulder pad of defender Travis Simmons and ricocheted to Eskridge for a game-clinching interception with 42 seconds left.

The Pirates, meanwhile, turned in the kind of steady offensive performance they seemed unable to muster earlier this season.

Coach Skip Holtz had said his offense would have to do its part to help the

defense, whether it meant moving the chains to keep Keenum on the sideline or getting into the end zone. The Pirates did a little of all of that, with Patrick Pinkney throwing for 262 yards with no turnovers, Lindsay running for 75 yards and Ruffin running for 55 yards on seven carries.

The Cougars beat the Pirates 41-24 on the road last season, rolling up 621 yards in a dominating performance that left East Carolina’s defense gasping for air. Keenum threw for 399 yards and three touchdowns in that game, but East Carolina had won seven straight home games against league opponents since, including last week’s win against Southern Mississippi to clinch another East Division title and homefield advantage for the C-USA title game.

East Carolina got the clinching score when

Ruffin had a brilliant scoring run, patiently waiting for the hole to develop before sprinting free to the right side and leaping for the pylon on a 20-yard run that made it 38-26 with 6:39 to play. Keenum connected with Cleveland on the next drive to cut the deficit to 38-32 with 3:24 to play, but couldn’t get the Cougars back to the end zone again.

Patrick Pinkney had one last chance to hold up the family tradition and bring a conference championship back to East Carolina.

So he won this one for Dad. Pinkney played mistake-free football, Ben

Hartman kicked a 36-yard field goal with 1:43 remaining and East Carolina took advantage of seven turnovers to beat Tulsa 27-24 Saturday in the Conference USA championship game for its first league title in 32 years.

“He always joked about it, being the last team to win the conference championship,” said Pinkney, whose father, Reggie, was a star defensive back on the Pirates’ 1976 Southern Conference title team.

“I told him at the beginning of the year, `We’ll go get it this year.”’

While the Pirates (9-4) used the league’s best defense to force David Johnson, the nation’s top-rated passer, into a career-high five interceptions, Pinkney was solid throughout.

The senior threw for only 122 yards and one touchdown, but protected the ball all game long and routinely threw it away when there was nothing there. That put East Carolina in position for a final 12-play, 63-yard drive that chewed up 7 minutes and set up Hartman for the game-winner.

“We finished the game,” Pinkney said. “We got that drive, Ben hit that kick and that sealed it for us.”

The conference crown earned the Pirates a berth in the Liberty Bowl, which was offered to them on the field during the trophy presentation. Tulsa (10-3) will try to get its top-ranked offense back on track in time for its bowl game, most likely a second straight appearance in the GMAC Bowl - although coach Todd Graham said that wasn’t a done deal yet.

The normally efficient Johnson had thrown only 13 interceptions in 12 games this season, but was off-target from the start. He threw an interception on the first play of the game as the Golden Hurricane came out going for the long

ball. It was a sign of things to come. Pinkney responded by driving the Pirates 83

yards and throwing a 13-yard touchdown pass to fullback Kevin Gidrey off of play action.

The lead grew to 14-0 when Travis Simmons picked off another of Johnson’s passes and returned 72 yards it down the left sideline for a score. It was the first time all season that Johnson threw interceptions on consecutive drives.

He also fumbled on Tulsa’s opening drive of the second half, and Norman Whitley bolted 69

yards up the middle for a touchdown that put East Carolina up 24-17 - with all of its points coming off of Golden Hurricane turnovers.

Van Eskridge sealed the win with 63 seconds left when he picked off a

pass intended for top receiver Brennan Marion, who had crumpled to the turf after apparently injuring his right knee. It was Eskridge’s second interception of the game.

“They got a lot of pressure on the quarterback, and we didn’t have a very good answer for the things that they were doing,” Graham said. “They were putting stress on us, and we were turning the football over.”

Tulsa, which leads the nation with a 579-yard average, was held to 399 yards. Johnson finished with 195 yards on 23-for-42 passing. It was only the third time this season he was held below 200 yards passing. His only touchdown pass was an 8-yarder to Jake Collums that tied the game at 24 with 8:57 left, before East Carolina’s final march.

“It’s definitely not all on Dave. We just fell short as a team, as an offense,” said running back Tarrion Adams, who had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs in a burst of 17 straight first-half points for Tulsa.

The Pirates won for the sixth time in seven games after a three-game losing streak wiped away the early BCS banter that followed their back-to-back upsets of Top 25 teams Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

“I thought this football team has had more

heart, they have faced more adversity and they have hung together through some very difficult times when there’s not a lot of people that have believed in them,” coach Skip Holtz said. “There’s not a lot of people that gave them a chance in this football game.”

At the end of the day, though, Pinkney was able to follow in the footsteps of his father - who set a school record in that 1976 season with 197 return yards off of his six interceptions.

Holtz, too, followed the winning ways of his pop, former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz.

“It’s big for our program. That’s a long time for a conference championship,” Pinkney said, before Holtz interjected.

“Are you trying to say your dad is old?” the coach asked.

And once again, the quarterback had the perfect answer: “He’s got gray hair.”

UCF junior Kevin Smith had 284 yards and four touchdowns as UCF beat Tulsa 44-25 for the Conference USA championship. Smith led the Knights to victory in a rematch from the inaugural league championship game that saw Tulsa defeat UCF at the Citrus Bowl.

Smith’s performance moved him into second place behind Barry Sanders on the NCAA’s single-season rushing list, with one game remaining, UCF’s Dec. 29 Liberty Bowl appearance.

As he had all year, the 6-foot-1, 211-pound junior downplayed his gaudy numbers.

“I’m expected to be back there and make the right cut at the right time,” Smith said. “You can’t run up the sideline without a hole. My guys gave it to me, and I tried not to let them down.”

Then, perhaps his biggest understatement: “Coach gives me the ball a lot.”

In the game, Smith also set the NCAA all-time single-season record in season rushing attempts with 415, 12 more than Marcus Allen had at USC in 1981. Allen had been ahead of Smith in season rushing yardage, but the junior passed him with a six-yard carry in the third quarter. Smith had 24 carries for 161 yards at halftime, and piled up even more with a 74-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.

“I have coached in the BCS, and I can guarantee you that he is as good as anybody in the country,” Tulsa coach Todd Graham said. “No question about it.”

It was the second time in three years the teams played for the conference championship. Tulsa (9-4, 6-3) won in 2005, but the Golden Hurricane’s star quarterback Paul Smith made too many mistakes this time.

Paul Smith passed for 426 yards, his third 400-yard game this season, on 28 of 55 completions, but threw three interceptions. Two were in the second half, and each one happened inside or near the end zone.

“They play as well as anyone we’ve played --

physicality, speed, strength,” Paul Smith said. UCF led 31-23 at halftime, but couldn’t stop

Paul Smith early. The Golden Hurricane, the country’s top offense with 548 yards a game,

rolled up 376 yards and 13 first downs. The Knights let Smith slip out of several third-and-long situations with long completions over the middle, including a 29-yarder to Trae Johnson on third-and-12 that set up Tulsa’s first score.

But the Knights clamped down in the second half, pressuring Smith into Tulsa’s third-worst offensive outing of the season. UCF used the same blueprint when the teams met in the regular season, picking off four Smith passes in a 44-23 win.

“A lot of it is they’ve got some really, really explosive guys up front, and I think that’s the key to their defense,” Graham said.

Down 37-23, Tulsa stayed alive when Paul Smith found Brennan Marion for a 33-yard completion on fourth down to the Knights’ 3-yard-line. Despite four chances at point-blank range, Tulsa couldn’t score until it turned the ball over on downs and tackled UCF QB Kyle Israel for a safety.

Knights coach George O’Leary saved a touchdown in the second quarter after Paul Smith ran in an eight-yard draw. The Golden Hurricane lined up for the extra point, but O’Leary challenged, saying Tulsa had 12 players on the field. The review showed he was correct, and Tulsa came away without any points when Smith was intercepted by Johnell Neal at the 5-yard-line.

Cornerback Joe Burnett scored UCF’s first TD on an 83-yard punt return. It was the school’s first since the conference title game in 2005, when he ran one back 68 yards.

The real offense was coming from the Smiths. Tulsa’s senior Paul turned in his 13th straight 300-yard game after never having one before this year.

Kevin Smith’s four touchdowns gave him 30 on the season, fourth-best in history behind Sanders (39), Boise State’s Brock Forsey (32) and

Louisiana Tech’s Troy Edwards (31). Smith is now 180 yards behind Sanders,

and averages 188 a game. After getting little recognition, the chase and Smith’s nationally televised performance might nudge Heisman Trophy voters who held onto their ballots to push him higher.

“Kevin’s been special every game, I think from the first to the twelfth, and hopefully people recognize that,” O’Leary said. “I think this game went out over the nation, and they saw a guy that comes out and plays like he’s supposed to play.”

Kevin Kolb threw two touchdown passes to Biren Ealy and ran for another score to lead Houston to a 34-20 win over Southern Miss in the second annual Conference USA championship game Friday night.

“A lot of people doubted us and said it couldn’t be done,” said Kolb, who completed 19-for-31 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns. “It was done tonight and hopefully, for the program, it will continue to be done.”

The Cougars (10-3) won their first C-USA title in 1996, but went 37-66 over the next nine seasons. Houston hired Art Briles in 2003 and he lured Kolb, the quarterback Briles coached in high school.

On Friday, Kolb became the conference’s all-time passing leader, leapfrogging Louisville quarterback Chris Redman. Kolb, who made his 49th career start, now has 12,578 passing yards.

Kolb also had a 46-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that gave the Cougars the lead for good. His two TD passes moved him into second place on the league’s career list, two behind Redman’s record of 84.

After the game, Kolb only wanted to talk about the championship.

“I’ve been telling people since the beginning of the year that that’s all that matters and that’s the truth,” he said. “This means a lot more to me than any records.”

Vincent Marshall, Houston’s career receiving leader, caught eight passes for 100 yards and had a touchdown run on a lateral for

the Cougars. Marshall, a senior, was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. He finished with 224 all-purpose yards - 100 receiving, 18 on his first career pass, 22 on the TD run and 102 on three kickoff returns.

“The only thing I was thinking about was all the hard work we’ve put into this,” Marshall said.

“It’s very gratifying,” Briles said. “We’ve battled our tails off now for four years and got this thing where it needs to be.”

Jeremy Young had a touchdown run and threw a TD pass to Chris Johnson to lead the

Golden Eagles (8-5), who will play Ohio in the GMAC Bowl.

“Our guys played hard and I am proud of our football team for getting to this game,” said Eagles coach Jeff Bower.

“We certainly would have liked to have won it, but I’m proud of them for what they’ve done this year.”

The Cougars trailed 17-13 at halftime, but came from behind to win for the sixth straight game.

Early in the third quarter, Kolb faked a handoff to Battle and sprinted for a touchdown, the longest run of his career.

Kolb, Conference USA’s career leader in total offense, went 6-for-6 on Houston’s next drive and found Ealy for a 33-yard touchdown with 2:52 left in the third quarter.

While Kolb hit his stride after a sluggish first half, Houston’s defense held Southern Miss to 46 yards and two first downs in the third quarter.

Darren McCaleb kicked a 31-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter to cut

Houston’s lead to 27-20. But Kolb drove the Cougars to the Southern

Miss 32, then lofted a TD pass to Ealy down the sideline with 4:25 left. After the touchdown, Kolb jogged to the sideline and high-fived quarterbacks coach Philip Montgomery.

The game drew 31,818, the largest crowd in the history of Robertson Stadium, which was built in the 1940s and expanded in 1999.

Southern Miss freshman Damion Fletcher, the league’s second-leading rusher, finished with 90 yards, 13 below his average.

Tarrion Adams had three touchdowns, two of them rushing, and Tulsa’s defense shut UCF out in the second half as the Golden Hurricane claimed their first league title in 20 years with a 44-27 victory in the inaugural Conference USA championship game before 51,978 at the Florida Citrus Bowl.

Adams had a 15-yard touchdown catch and a 6-yard scoring run in the first quarter - then sealed the win with a 25-yard run with 6:17 left in the third as Tulsa won for the sixth time in its last seven games. The Golden Hurricane’s last league crown came in 1985, when Tulsa won the Missouri Valley Conference.

Paul Smith completed 13 of 20 passes for 205 yards and two scores for Tulsa, which held UCF to 55 yards in the second half. Uril Parrish had 100 yards and a touchdown for the Golden Hurricane, and Adams finished with 81 rushing yards.

Tulsa’s Garrett Mills had eight catches for 152 yards - giving him 1,183 for the year, a new NCAA record for most receiving yards by a tight ends in a season. Brigham Young’s Chris Smith had 1,156 in 1990.

Kevin Smith ran for 108 yards and a touchdown for UCF, which snapped a 17-game losing streak earlier this season and will play in a bowl for the first time in the school’s 10-year football history. Steven Moffett threw for 190 yards and a touchdown, but had two interceptions and lost two fumbles - with three of those turnovers coming in the second half.

UCF had a chance to cut a 14-point deficit in half early in the fourth, but Dontavius Wilcox - with no defenders in front of him - stumbled and fell at the Tulsa 10.

The Golden Knights, who’d never drawn

more than 50,220 to a home game, eventually turned the ball over on downs, and Tulsa ran 7 1/2 minutes off the clock before Brad DeVault kicked his third field goal with 2:24 left to cap the scoring.

Tulsa led 31-27 at halftime, after the teams totaled 520 yards - not including a 58-yard interception return by Tulsa’s Nick Graham and a 68-yard punt return for a touchdown by UCF’s Joe Burnett.

Moffett threw a 43-yard pass to Willie Thornton to open the scoring, but the Golden Hurricane answered with 21 straight points

to build an early two-touchdown lead. Adams caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Smith, then scored on a 6-yard run to give Tulsa its first lead.

After Graham picked off a Moffett pass and returned it to the UCF 2, Parrish scored one play later for a 21-7 Tulsa lead - capping a run of three touchdowns in

less than seven minutes by the Golden Hurricane.UCF rallied with 17 unanswered points in a

5 1/2-minute stretch, with Smith scoring on a 31-yard run, Matt Prater kicking a 46-yard field goal and Burnett putting the Golden Knights back on top with his second interception return for a score in as many games.

DeVault’s 29-yard field goal and Mills’ 29-yard touchdown catch with 2:06 left - the one setting the NCAA record - gave Tulsa a 31-24 edge, before Prater drew the Golden Knights within four with a 40-yard field goal on the half’s final play.

But UCF went scoreless in the third quarter, while Tulsa got an 18-yard field goal by DeVault and a 25-yard run by Adams midway through the period to take a 41-27 lead into the final 15 minutes.

highlightsConference USA became just the second conference to produce a pair of 2,000-yard rushers in the same season when UCF’s Kevin Smith and Tulane’s Matt Forté both accomplished the rushing feat. Smith and Forte’ are just the 12th and 13th players in FBS history to reach the 2,000-yard mark and they finished first and second among the 2007 NCAA rushing leaders….UCF’s Kevin Smith was named a consensus All-American, the league’s first since 2003….Tulsa QB Paul Smith led C-USA and finished second in the NCAA in total offense at 370.3 yards per game. In addition to his league-record 47 TD passes, he also rushed for 13 scores. Smith threw for over 300 yards in all 14 games and threw for three or more TDs in 11 games….Conference USA players produced the top individual rushing performance (342 yards by Tulane’s Matt Forte’ on Oct. 20 vs. SMU) and the top individual receiving performance (346 yards by Houston’s Donnie Avery on Oct. 13 vs. Rice) in the FBS during the 2007 season. C-USA is the first conference in major college football history to have a 300-yard rusher and a 300-yard receiver in the same season…. Against Rice on Oct. 13 Houston’s Avery had 345 receiving yards and Anthony Alridge had 205 yards rushing (and four TDs). It was the first time ever in major college football history that a team produced a 200-yard rusher and 300-yard receiver in the same game….The league produced six bowl teams for only the second time in its history. Tulsa defeated Bowling Green, 63-7 in the GMAC Bowl to establish a new NCAA record for victory margin in a bowl game and East Carolina defeated No. 22 Boise State, 41-38 in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl. Houston, Memphis, Southern Miss and UCF also participated in bowl games….Tulsa QB Paul Smith was named the winner of the third annual Wuerffel Trophy, presented to the college football player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.

highlightsTwo C-USA teams (East Carolina and UCF) set new school records for single-season home attendance….Houston established a new Robertson Stadium record for attendance when it hosted the second annual Conference USA Football Championship Game on December 1….The Cougars defeated Southern Miss in the game, 34-20, for its first conference title since the league’s inaugural season in 1996….Led by C-USA Offensive Player of the Year QB Kevin Kolb, the Cougars posted their highest win total since 1990 and represented C-USA in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Houston was joined by Southern Miss (GMAC), Tulsa (Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl), East Carolina (Papajohns.com) and Rice (R+L Carriers New Orleans) in postseason play….Rice’s bowl appearance was its first since 1961, ending the nation’s second-longest postseason drought, while becoming the nation’s second most-improved team. Sophomore wide receiver Jarett Dillard was a big contributor to the Owls turnaround season, leading the nation in touchdown receptions with 21, scoring at least one TD in each game….The league was sparked by two of the most productive freshmen in Division I-A. Southern Miss RB Damion Fletcher led all true freshmen in rushing yards with 1,388, while also scoring 11 touchdowns.

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIESAbout the BCS

The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a five-game arrangement for post-season college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other games.

The bowl games participating are the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. In addition, a BCS National Championship Game will be played at one of the bowl sites.

BCS RankingsThe BCS Standings, have been compiled by

the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame since the beginning of the 2000 regular-season. The BCS Standings determine which teams play in the National Championship game, and which are included in the pool of

eligible teams available for at-large selection. The BCS Standings include the Harris

Poll, the USA Today Coaches poll and an average of six computer polls. Each

component will count for one-third of a team’s overall BCS score in the

BCS Standings.

C-USA and the BCSThe Conference USA champion (along with the

champions of the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference) will have an automatic berth in one of the five bowls if, and only if:• It is a Conference Champion; and Either:

• It is ranked in the top 12 of the BCS Standings on Bowl Selection Sunday;

• It is ranked in the top 16 of the BCS Standings on Bowl Selection Sunday, and its ranking in the BCS Standings is better than that of a champion of a Conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowl games.

television /radioConference USA has announced its preliminary television schedule for the 2013 football season. The current confirmed schedule features more than

80 games to air nationally or regionally, with additional games to be added prior to beginning of the season. National games will be televised on Fox Sports Net (FSN), CBS Sports Network and ESPN. Included are several unopposed windows that provide tremendous exposure to C-USA, as well as numerous exciting league match-ups, and many challenging non-conference contests.

The 2013 football season marks the third year of a multi-platform media rights agreement between Conference USA and FOX Sports Media Group broadcasting a minimum of 20 games. This season, FOX Sports 1, FOX’s new national sports cable network launching this August, is scheduled to televise a minimum of 10 regular-season Conference USA football games. Additional games will again be carried nationally on FOX Sports Networks owned-and-affiliated regional networks, which reach more than 85 million homes and FOX College Sports.

This season marks the ninth year of C-USA’s partnership with CBS Sports Network that includes significant national and regional exposure for football, men’s and women’s basketball and other C-USA sports. CBS Sports Network is the 24-hour home of CBS Sports and is available to more than 99 million households across the country.

Additional Conference USA football television exposures remain a possibility and will be released as soon as they are finalized.
