NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Pirates face Houston if Marshall wins
A lot is on the line during the
final week of the regular season in Conference USA football, according
to the league's weekly football release.
Southern Miss can earn a trip to the
C-USA Championship Game with a win over Marshall on Saturday (6:30 p.m. CST
on CSTV). If the Golden Eagles lose, East Carolina will go to Houston to
face the West Division champion Cougars.
On the same day in Houston, Southern
Methodist meets Rice, with the winner guaranteed of ending a lengthy
postseason drought with a trip to a bowl game.
Former teammates push Raye for MSU coach
In 1965, Jimmy Raye
quarterbacked Michigan State to a college football national
championship.
Forty-one years later, with the program
struggling and in need of a new direction, some of Raye’s old teammates
would like to see him get another chance at leading the Spartans to victory,
according to a Fayetteville Observer report.
Organized by Clinton Jones, a former
running back, and Hall of Fame defensive lineman Bubba Smith, the group has
sent a letter to Michigan State president Lou Anna Simon and search
committee head Mark Hollis urging them to hire Raye, a Fayetteville native,
to succeed John L. Smith as head coach.
Smith, who had a 22-26 record in four
seasons, was fired Nov. 1.
SMU's Wideman named academic player of year
Southern Methodist senior goalkeeper
Matt Wideman has been named the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America
University Division I Player of the Year, as voted by the College Sports
Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) members.
Wideman was also named to the ESPN The
Magazine University Division Academic All-America first team.
UAB senior forward Lukasz Kwapisz also
earned a spot on the University Division First Team. Both Wideman and
Kwapisz were selected to the Conference USA All-Academic Team.
