News Nuggets, 10.04.06

NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day's Nuggets...
Next Day's Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
TV
exposure continues for C-USA teams
A key Conference USA East Division battle
will be televised tonight when Central Florida plays at Marshall (7:30 p.m.
on ESPN2).
The game comes on the heels of Tuesday night's
inter-divisional battle on ESPN2 in which defending conference champion
Tulsa of the West defeated East Division stalwart Southern Mississippi,
20-6.
East Carolina was off this past week as the
Pirates prepared to host Virginia of the Atlantic Coast Conference on
Saturday night. CSTV will televise the game live at 6 p.m. EDT, as the
Cavaliers make their first appearance in Greenville. ECU dismantled UVA,
61-10, in a 1975 visit to Charlottesville.
ECU senior quarterback James Pinkney
continues to climb the school's all-time passing charts. He is now ranked
third in attempts (9310 and yards (6,436), fourth in touchdown passes (39)
and seventh in completions (537).
In the West Virginia game on Sept. 23,
senior wide receiver Aundrae Allsion moved into a tie for sixth place on the
all-time career receptions list, tying Luke Fisher (102 from 1988-91).
Allison has 1,288 career receiving yards, 72 shy of breaking into the
school's all-time top 10 (Marcellus Harris is 10th with 1,359).
Senior kicker Robert Lee has nailed all 38
of his extra-point attempts at East Carolina, just four shy of tying the
school record set by Rob Imperato in 1989 and 1990. Including two years in
the junior college ranks, Lee is has been perfect in 66 attempts in his
collegiate career. He has also connected on 21 of 25 field goal attempts as
a Pirate.
The ECU defense has forced two or more
turnovers in each of the last six games and has registered 14 takeaways in
four games this season.
From staff reports and a
conferenceusa.com release.
Former
UVa stars make $1 million gift
Former Virginia football stars and current
National Football League All-Pros Ronde and Tiki Barber and their families
have made a $1 million gift to their alma mater, according to a release on
the UVa athletic website.
Announcement of the Barbers' gift was made
during a dinner to launch the University's $3 billion campaign. The Barber
twins served as the emcees for that event in the John Paul Jones Arena.
The Barbers' gift was made in two parts
with $500,000 divided among the McIntire School of Commerce, where both
received their undergraduate degrees; the Virginia Athletics Foundation; the
U.Va. Children's Hospital; the U.Va. Alumni Association's Walter N. Ridley
Scholarship Fund, which benefits African American students; and the Young
Alumni Council. The other $500,000 will be in the form of a challenge to
encourage young alumni of the university to participate in the campaign.
Ronde Barber is a cornerback with the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers; Tiki Barber is a running back with the New York Giants and a
part-time co-host on "Fox and Friends," the Fox News Channel's highly-rated
morning program.
The Barber twins, members of the Class of
1997, have actively supported the university since their graduation. Tiki
Barber served on the Young Alumni Council and is the founder of a program
that encourages young grads to begin a tradition of giving to UVa — MY-D-CAV
(My Yearly Dollars Count at Virginia).
The Barbers will be celebrating their 10th
class reunion next spring and hope that the challenge will spur giving on
the part of their classmates.
Virginia (2-3) plays at East Carolina (1-3)
at 6 p.m. on Saturday.
SMU takes two of three weekly league honors
Conference USA's players of the week
include Southern Methodist's first selections of the 2006 season.
Kick returner Jessie Henderson (special
teams) and nose tackle Adrian Haywood (defense) were honored for their roles
in the Mustangs conference-opening win at Tulane.
Rice quarterback Chase Clement was named
offensive player of the week after throwing for 299 yards and setting a
school-record with five touchdown passes in the Owls' 48-14 win at Army.
Clement returned to action for the first
time since the season opener and set a school record with five touchdown
passes at Army. He also established career highs in attempts (39),
completions (29), passing yards (299), rushing yards (64) and total offense
(363) in leading the Owls to their first road victory since 2003.
Haywood notched three tackles for loss,
including a sack and a forced fumble in the fourth quarter of SMU's 33-28
win at Tulane that halted a potential go-ahead scoring drive by the Green
Wave. Haywood was part of a Mustang defense that held Tulane to minus 33
rushing yards, a new SMU record. He finished with five total tackles.
Trailing for the first time in the game,
Henderson put SMU back in the lead with a fourth quarter kick return for a
touchdown that covered 100 yards. He had three returns for 136 yards on the
night.
