es for 733 yards, while scoring seven touchdowns. It's safe to say that the running back match up in this game is dead even.


Florida Atlantic receiver Cortez Gent is one of the best receivers in all of college football.

If you're looking for the best offensive player in this game, look no further than sensational sophomore receiver Cortez Gent of Florida Atlantic. He put up gaudy stats this season, hauling in 61 passes for 1,030 yards and nine touchdowns. He racked up those numbers in just 11 games, because he didn't play against Oklahoma State.



It's a bird, it's a plane, no wait, it's Florida Atlantic tight end Jason Harmon leaping in the air!

Florida Atlantic has another stud receiver and his name is Jason Harmon. The freakishly athletic tight end snagged 56 balls for 728 yards and four touchdowns this season for the Owls.
He also has unleashed his patented "Harmon Hurdle" a few times this season, once against Middle Tennessee State and also against South Florida. Harmon leaps over defenders that try and tackle him low with ease. Check out the picture above—the guy can leap to Mars!



Memphis receiver Carlos Singleton leads the team in touchdown catches with 10 catches this year.


The Memphis Tigers also have a very fine receiving corps. Their leading receiver is yet another stud sophomore by the name of Duke Calhoun. He's hauled in 58 balls for 850 yards and five touchdowns this year for the Tigers.
Calhoun will have some help in the game from fellow sophomore receiver Carlos Singleton. He s snared 47 balls for 704 yards and 10 touchdowns for Memphis and will definitely be a man to lookout for in this game.



Florida Atlantic kick returner/receiver DiIvory Edgecomb is one of the most dynamic returners in all of college football.


On special teams the Florida Atlantic Owls' very own DiIvory Edgecomb not only has one of the best names in college football, but he also happens to be one of the best all-purpose threats as well. This year the stud return man has piled up over 1,000 yards on kickoff returns, averaging just over 22 yards per return.
Edgecomb has chewed up a team-leading 1,558 all-purpose yards this season, simply sensational numbers by anyone s standards. Keep an eye out for Edgecomb in this game.
