This week: vs. Middle Tennessee (Tues, Nov 20)2. Florida Atlantic Owls (5-4)
Last Week: Win at Arkansas State 34-31
Florida Atlantic took advantage of a pair of Arkansas State three-and-outs and held the ball for 11:06 of the fourth quarter to come away with a victory in Jonesboro last week.
The Owls trailed by 11 points early in the fourth quarter—their largest deficit in Sun Belt play this year.
With their offense looking anemic, FAU's upcoming game in Gainesville is looking more and more like a potential blowout.
Pray for the Owls.
This week: at Florida
3. Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders (4-5)
Last Week: Loss vs. Louisiana-Lafayette 34-24
MTSU needs to send a thank-you note to head coach Rod Broadway at Grambling State for making Louisiana-Monroe look like a good I-AA team.
If they hadn't, ULM would've edged out the suddenly-feeble-looking Blue Raiders for the No. 3 slot this week.
MTSU managed to run only 11 plays in the fourth quarter of their loss to the Not-So-Spicy Cajuns, in a poor attempt to come back in front of yet another sub-20,000 crowd.
This week: at Troy (Tues, Nov 20)
4. Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks (4-6)
Last Week: Win vs. Grambling State 28-14
The good news is that the Warhawks won in front of a record crowd (30,101) on Saturday.
The bad news, of course, is that they managed to put up just 28 points and win by just 14 against a I-AA team
Not much else is looking up for the Warhawks as they travel to Bryant-Denny Stadium this week for another Alabama vs. SBC showdown.
This Week: at Alabama
TIE-5. Arkansas State Indians (4-6)
Last Week: Loss at Florida Atlantic
The Indians failed to snatch a road victory in Boca Raton this week after giving up 14 points in the fourth quarter to the FAU Owls.
Yet another team that was on track for seven wins just a few weeks ago is now perilously close to missing out on a bowl.
This game at home against North Texas would be a great way to close out the last season of existence for "Indian Stadium" before ushering in the school's new nickname next year.
This Week: vs. North Texas
TIE-5. Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (1-6)
Last Week: Win at Middle Tennessee 34-24
A jewel on an otherwise unremarkable team, Michael Desormeaux has a few things to be proud of.
For starters, three games in the 2007 college football season have seen a quarterback run and pass for 150 yards. Desormeaux has done it twice.
Secondly, Desormeaux is now only the 24th quarterback in NCAA history to run and pass for 1,000 yards in the same year.
He also rescued the Cajuns' season from total disaster with a gutsy performance against MTSU last week. Things can only get a lot better or a lot worse this week with a visit to Miami.
