2 • 2015 American Athletic Conference Football


In the course of its first two seasons, the American Athletic Conference has taken a place at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics, earning a collection of national team and indi-vidual championships and football postsea-son wins that place The American among the elite

Division I conferences. The American consists of 12 prestigious insti-

tutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the U.S. Naval Academy (in football only), the University of South Florida, Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, the American Athletic Conference has written an impressive list of accomplishments, both in and out of the competitive arena.

The league has produced three NCAA champi-onship teams – UConn men’s basketball in 2014 and UConn women’s basketball in 2014 and 2015 – and two individuals who have won NCAA titles, most recently SMU’s Bryson Dechambeau, who was the 2015 national champion in men’s golf. Additionally, American Athletic Conference teams have advanced to the College World Series, the semifinal and final rounds of the NIT and the match play round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Half of the conference’s baseball-playing members reached the NCAA Championship in 2015, while The American had the best men’s basketball postseason record of any conference in 2014, when conference teams were a combined 13-4. Teams from The American have registered top-10 national rankings in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf.

The American is quickly making its mark in professional sports as well, beginning with the selection of UCF quarterback Blake Bortles by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

More recently, a number of American Athletic Conference athletes have been selected in the first round of the profession-al entry drafts in football, basketball, base-ball and soccer. UConn’s Cyle Larin was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 Major League Soccer SuperDraft as he was chosen by Orlando City SC. UCF’s Romario Williams was taken by the Montreal Impact at No. 3, giving The American two of the top three picks in the draft. UConn’s Sergio Campbell

went at No. 19 to the Columbus Crew as the third pick from the conference in the first round.

In the 2015 NFL Draft, UCF’s Breshad Perriman and UConn’s Byron Jones were selected con-secutively in the first round – Perriman to the Baltimore Ravens at No. 26 overall and Jones to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 27. It was the second straight year in which The American had at least two first-round selections.

UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was selected by the Seattle Storm with the No. 3 pick in the 2015 WNBA Draft, while UConn’s Kiah Stokes went 11th overall to the New York Liberty.

Cincinnati outfielder Ian Happ, the 2015 American Athletic Conference Player of the Year, was chosen by the Chicago Cubs with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft.

In football, two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll, while Memphis finished the season in the top 25 of the 2014 polls as Tigers tied UCF and Cincinnati for the confer-ence title. Six of the 12 teams that compete in The American in 2015 played in bowl games to cap the 2014 season as Memphis, Houston and Navy earned postseason victories.

Teams in The American have enjoyed almost unprecedented success since the conference’s formation. Memphis finished with 10 wins in foot-ball for the first time since 1938. SMU advanced to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship for the first time since 1993. UCF and Houston have both achieved top-10 rankings in baseball in the past two years. USF finished the 2014-15 season at No. 8 in the final men’s golf national ranking. The UConn women’s basketball team won its

NCAA-record ninth and 10th national champion-ships as a member of The American.

The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which give the conference outstanding national exposure on the two industry leaders in sports television. The football portion of the contract calls for nearly 90 percent of confer-ence-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played Dec. 5, 2015, will be car-ried on either ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.

In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3, while the conference has a multi-year agreement with CBS Sports Network for coverage of select baseball games.

American Athletic Conference teams have access to the pinnacle of college football’s post-season structure. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams in the CFP selection committee’s final ranking. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Vizio Fiesta Bowl or the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the cham-pions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

Additionally, The American holds pri-mary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the current six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destina-tions to member institutions and their fans.

The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the con-ference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 min-utes from T.F. Green Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools.

The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video produc-tion studio, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommo-date the many coaches’ and administra-tors’ meetings held on-site each year.

UConn won its 10th NCAA title in women’s basketball in 2014-15

CONFERENCE STAFF

Mike Aresco has established himself as one of the leading figures in intercollegiate sports as commissioner of the American Athletic Conference.

Aresco, who was named to his current posi-tion Aug. 14, 2012, has overseen a strategic rein-vention of the conference, which has quickly become one of the premier conferences in the nation.

The American’s inaugural year produced a remarkable string of accomplishments as UCF won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 10 in the Associated Press poll. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball as American Athletic Conference teams had the best postseason winning percentage of any conference in men’s basketball. The league sent four teams to the NCAA tournament and saw SMU advance to the championship game of the NIT.

The American was the only conference to have a Bowl Championship Series win and teams in the Men’s Final Four, the Women’s Final Four and the College World Series in 2013-14. Teams from the conference finished in the national top 10 in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s soccer, baseball and men’s golf.

The conference’s momentum continued in 2014-15 as Memphis, UCF and Cincinnati won the league title in football, while Memphis fin-

ished the season ranked No. 25 in the final national polls, giving The American at least one team in the final top 25 for the second time in as many years. Teams from the conference faced opponents from the SEC and ACC, along with BYU, in the bowl season as The American earned wins in the Miami Beach Bowl and Armed Forces Bowl.

Among the milestones reached in Aresco’s tenure have been the announcement of a con-ference football championship game for the first time in 2015 and the league’s successful staging of its own postseason bowl game, the Miami Beach Bowl, in 2014.

In the wake of the changes created by college sports realignment, Aresco moved quickly to solidify the conference, leading negotiations that resulted in the most favorable financial terms for the conference’s football schools, after the withdrawal of the non-football-playing schools, as well as the 2013-14 launch of the renamed and rebranded conference.

He simultaneously led the negotiations that resulted in television contracts with ESPN and CBS Sports, which have given the conference unprecedented national exposure and brand-ing with the two industry leaders in sports television. Aresco then quickly and success-fully organized the process whereby the con-ference was renamed the American Athletic Conference – a name that was immediately

accepted nationally – and he also oversaw the process that resulted in the conference’s popu-lar graphic identity.

He has also success-fully worked with the conference schools to arrive at an equitable distribution of existing revenue for the current and new conference institutions, bringing about a period of cohesive-ness that is unprecedented in the league’s his-tory. He has restructured the conference office staff to maximize efficiency and better serve the needs of the membership.

Among his other significant accomplishments on behalf of the American Athletic Conference were the spearheading of expansion efforts, which resulted in the addition of East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa as of July 1, 2014, and Navy as a football member in 2015; launching The American Digital Network; successful site negotiations for the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball championships; and the launching of a brand marketing campaign.

Additionally, Aresco brokered a multi-year marketing rights agreement with IMG College, the industry leader in collegiate sports mar-keting, and oversaw the development of The American’s new football bowl lineup, which features numerous annual matchups against

the nation’s other top conferences. Included in that lineup is the Miami Beach Bowl – a bowl game that is owned and operated by the American Athletic Conference in a first-of-its-kind venture.

Aresco’s first months were marked by his suc-cessful efforts to ensure the conference’s place within the College Football Playoff – the new system that will determine the national cham-pion, beginning in 2014. Aresco was instrumen-tal in securing the arrangement that will put the American Athletic Conference champion in a New Year’s Day system bowl if it is the highest-ranked team among the champions of five conferences.

Aresco has played an active role in the for-mation of the College Football Playoff, serving on the College Football Playoff Management Committee and helping to select the 13 mem-bers of the CFP Selection Committee. Aresco also serves on the College Football Playoff Television and Site Selection committees.

In basketball, Aresco has secured the confer-ence’s participation in The Men’s Basketball Officiating Consortium, L.L.C., partnering with the Big 12 Conference, Conference USA, the Ohio Valley Conference and the Southland Conference to ensure that the highest-qual-ity game officials are assigned to American Athletic Conference contests.

Aresco is a member of the Conference Commissioners Association enforcement work-ing group and women’s basketball working group. He serves on the board of managers for both College Football Officiating, LLC, and Men’s College Basketball, LLC. He is also a member of the FBS commissioners’ media subcommittee. He is a charter member of the steering com-mittee of the Columbia University/New York City Chapter of the National Football Foundation and serves on the board of the National Sports Marketing Network.

Aresco has been a leader in the NCAA gov-ernance redesign efforts and a strong and articu-late spokesman in various forums for the integrity of the collegiate model.

Aresco came to the conference from CBS Sports where he was Executive Vice President, Programming. He was responsible for all college sports programming for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network. Aresco oversaw the acquisition and man-agement of CBS Sports

college properties, including the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, regular-season col-lege basketball and football, conference basket-ball championship games, football bowl games and other programming. His responsibilities included game selection and scheduling, day-to-day operations, contract negotiations, iden-tification of future acquisitions, development of programming strategies and coordination of new media and marketing initiatives.

Aresco played an integral role in the land-mark deal that created the CBS Sports-Turner Broadcasting partnership, which resulted in the acquisition of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship rights through 2024. He managed the complex 14-year agreement that provides expanded national broadcast and cable coverage of the NCAA basketball championship. Aresco also was instrumental in the CBS Television Network’s groundbreak-ing bundled rights agreement with the NCAA, which granted CBS exclusive rights to the NCAA tournament from 2003 through 2010. The 2010 NCAA Championship won a Sports Emmy in the Outstanding Playoff Coverage category. Aresco also played a key role in negotiating NCAA marketing agreements and in creating a partnership with IMG and the NCAA to assist in acquiring new NCAA corporate sponsors. He also was a significant contributor in the devel-opment of new media platforms for the NCAA Championship, including March Madness On Demand, a highly successful streaming plat-form.

In 2008, Aresco negotiated a historic 15-year agreement with the Southeastern Conference to televise the league’s football and basketball games. The agreement also provided multiple new media rights for CBS, CBS Sports Network

and CBS Interactive. He forged numerous bas-ketball agreements with major conferences and negotiated 10-year extensions of the Army-Navy and Notre Dame-Navy football rivalries.

Aresco was the creator and executive pro-ducer of The Tony Barnhart Show and Courtside with Seth Davis, both of which aired on the CBS Sports Network. In 2004, he was appointed by the late NCAA President Myles Brand to the Basketball Partnership, a select panel whose mission was to explore ways to improve and promote college basketball.

Aresco joined CBS Sports from ESPN where he was responsible for overseeing the acquisi-tion, scheduling and development of long-term strategies for all ESPN college sports proper-ties. Earlier in his tenure at ESPN, he was responsible for programming a wide variety of sports properties, including College Football Association, Big Ten, and Pac-10 college foot-ball, NCAA events, including early rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament, the College World Series and various professional sports events, including thoroughbred racing, Top Rank Boxing, CFL football, Australian Rules Football, rodeo and yachting. He was the archi-tect of ESPN’s signature Thursday night college football series and helped develop ESPN’s Bowl Week. He joined ESPN in 1984 as Counsel and was named Assistant General Counsel in 1988 before moving to the programming department.

Aresco is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Tufts University (B.A., magna cum laude, history), The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts (M.A., international relations), where he held a John Moors Cabot Scholarship, and the University of Connecticut School of Law (J.D.). He practiced law privately in Hartford, Connecticut, for several years.

Aresco is a regular speak-er and expert panelist at national symposiums and seminars on the topics of college athletics and sports television. He was award-ed the 2013 Distinguished Graduate Award by the UConn School of Law Alumni Association and was elected to the Middletown (Connecticut) Sports Hall of Fame in January of 2015.

Aresco and his wife, Sharon, have two adult sons, Matthew, an Emmy-nominated television pro-ducer who has his own production company in Connecticut, and Brett, an actor who lives in New York City.

University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Ariz.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF

The College Football Playoff (CFP) is a big success. Fans, including many who are new to the sport, enjoy it. The first College Football Playoff semi-finals and national championship were the three most-viewed programs in cable television history.

Every Game CountsThe playoff preserves the excitement and significance of college foot-

ball’s unique regular season where every game counts.

Four TeamsThe selection committee ranks the teams based on championships

won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparative outcomes of common opponents and other factors.

Two DaysNew Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day belong to college football, with

two semifinal games and four other top bowl games continuing a won-derful tradition. The two teams winning the playoff semifinals compete for the College Football Playoff National Championship. That game is in a different city each year, always on a Monday night.

Universal AccessEvery FBS team has equal access to the College Football Playoff based

on its performance. No team automatically qualifies.

GovernanceUniversity presidents and chancellors from all 10 FBS conferences and

Notre Dame serve on the CFP Board of Managers and govern the admin-istrative operations, with commissioners (the Management Committee) managing the event. A small staff in the playoff office in Irving, Texas, carries out the detailed responsibilities.

Selection CommitteeA talented group of high-integrity individuals with experience as

coaches, student-athletes, college administrators and journalists, along with sitting athletics directors, comprise the selection committee. Members of the committee are: Jeff Long (chair), Barry Alvarez, Mike Gould, Pat Haden, Kirby Hocutt, Tom Jernstedt, Bobby Johnson, Tom Osborne, Dan Radakovich, Condoleezza Rice, Mike Tranghese, Steve Wieberg and Tyrone Willingham.

Selection Committee Responsibilities• Rank the top 25 teams and assign the top four to semifinal sites.• Assign teams to New Year’s bowls• Create competitive matchups• Attempt to avoid rematches of regular-season games and repeat

appearances• Consider geography

Participants In New Year’s BowlsBoth participants in the Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls are contracted

outside the playoff arrange ment (Big Ten and Pac-12 to Rose Bowl; SEC and Big 12 to Sugar Bowl; ACC to Orange Bowl against the high-est ranked available team from the SEC, Big Ten and Notre Dame). If a conference champion qualifies for the playoff, then the bowl will choose a replacement from that conference. When those bowls host the semifi-nals and their contracted conference champions do not qualify, then the dis placed champion(s) will play in one of the other New Year’s bowls.

When not hosting semifinals, the Cotton, Fiesta and Peach Bowls will welcome displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champi-on from a non-contract conference. The highest-ranked available teams will fill any other berths. The selection committee will make the pairings..


BOWL PARTNERSHIPS

The American Bowl LineupIn addition to the College Football Playoff and New Year’s Bowls, The

The 2015 football season will be the second under the American Athletic Conference’s comprehensive television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports.

The new arrangements began with the 2013-14 basketball season and will be in place through the 2019-20 academic year. The contracts provide for unprecedented exposure on two of the industry leaders in sports television.

In football, the contract calls for all conference-controlled games — which encompasses all conference games and home nonconference games — to be televised. Nearly 90 percent of those games will be car-ried on either national broadcast or national cable platforms.

In addition to contracted games on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPNews, American Athletic Conference teams will regularly appear on CBS Sports Network through a sublicensing agreement with ESPN.

Additional nonconference games will be available on ESPN3 — ESPN’s live multi-screen sports network, giving fans an online destination that delivers thousands of global sports events annually. It is accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick,

Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The network is cur-rently available to more than 99 million homes at no additional cost to fans who receive their high-speed Internet connection or video subscription from an affiliated service provider. The network is also available at no cost to approximately 21 million U.S. college students and U.S.-based military personnel via computers, smartphones and tablets connected to on-campus educational and on-base military broadband and Wi-Fi networks.

ESPN, Inc., is the world’s leading multinational, multimedia sports entertainment company featuring a portfolio of more than 50 multimedia sports assets. The company is comprised of eight U.S. 24-hour television networks and five HD simulcast services. Based in Bristol, Connecticut, ESPN is 80-percent owned by ABC, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The Hearst Corporation holds a 20 percent interest in ESPN.

CBS Sports Network is available to 100 million homes and may be seen on a digital basic cable package in all American Athletic Conference markets. Talent for The American’s weekly game on CBS Sports Network includes Dave Ryan on play-by-play, Corey Chavous as the analyst and Lauren Gardner as the reporter.

NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAMESThe American Athletic Conference will have an extensive schedule of games on national television. The following telecasts were known at press time. Other games will be added via the 12-day and 6-day advance selection process.


THE AMERICAN DIGITAL NETWORK

The most in-depth coverage of the 2015 American Athletic Conference football season can be found on The American Digital Network, the over-the-top streaming video platform of The American and its 12 member institutions.

The American has extended its partnership with L2 Productions to pro-vide video production services for more than 65 events annually on The American Digital Network through the 2018-19 academic year.

The American and L2 Productions have collaborated on live video production of regular-season and championship events for the past two years. The American Digital Network produced 65 live events in 2014-15 and plans to showcase at least 80 for the 2015-16 season. All events are carried by professional-grade, multiple-camera productions which include accomplished play-by-play announcers and expert analysts.

As a result of the partnership, The American Digital Network will pro-vide complete live video coverage of The American’s postseason cham-pionships in cross country, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, and rowing. The ADN will also provide coverage of any games of the conference’s women’s soccer, men’s soccer, softball and baseball championships that are not carried by one of the confer-ence’s television partners.

Additionally, The American Digital Network will provide coverage of 25 regular-season women’s basketball games as well as select regular-season contests in soccer, volleyball, softball and baseball. The ADN will have full wraparound coverage of The American’s postseason championships in football and men’s and women’s basketball.

In addition to its coverage of regular-season and championship events, The American Digital Network is the home for on-demand previews and game highlights as well as “The Rise,” a weekly look at the conference that includes scores, highlights and feature stories.

The American Digital Network is also the primary source for coverage of the conference’s Summer Kickoff and Media Days in Newport, Rhode Island. Coverage in 2015 will include live segments from the podium, including roundtable discussions with The American’s 12 head coaches and the opening remarks by commissioner Mike Aresco.

All of The American Digital Network productions are available on desk-top, tablet, mobile and Roku devices at no charge. The ADN will include DVR functionality and immediate access to archived replays beginning in the 2015-16 season.

Welcome AboardThe American Athletic Conference welcomes the United States Naval Academy as its 12th football-playing member this season. Navy had played as an independent for the previous 134 seasons.

Wait Til This YearMemphis went 7-1 in the American Athletic Conference last season to earn a share of the league championship. It was the Tigers’ first conference championship since 1971, when they won the Missouri Valley Conference crown.

StreakingMemphis enters the 2015 season on a seven-game win-ning streak — the Tigers’ longest winning streak since 1969. The only teams that take longer winning streaks into the season are Ohio State (13 games), Boise State (nine games) and TCU (eight games).

Seen This BeforeCincinnati claimed a share of the American Athletic Conference title in 2014 to give the Bearcats five confer-ence championships in seven seasons.

Even KielCincinnati QB Gunner Kiel tied a Bearcats’ single-season record with 31 touchdown passes, set by Ben Mauk in 2007.

Just WinUCF is a combined 15-1 in American Athletic Confer-ence games with two conference titles in its first two seasons in the league.

Perfect HouseUCF went 6-0 at Bright House Networks Stadium this season, marking the Knights’ first unbeaten season at home since 2001 when UCF was 5-0.

Grand TotalsTemple LB Tyler Matakevich registered 117 tackles in his junior season, marking the third straight season in which he had at least 100 tackles. He is only the third player in Temple history with three straight 100-tackle seasons, joining Joe Klecko (1974-96) and Steve Conjar (1979-81).

Rank And FileSeven of the 12 teams in the American Athletic Confer-ence were ranked in the top 25 of the Bowl Champion-ship Series standings or the College Football Playoff committee rankings between 2008 and 2014.

That’s GrandUSF RB Marlon Mack, the American Athletic Confer-ence Rookie of the Year, became the first Bulls fresh-man to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Mack finished with 1,041 rushing yards in his rookie year and was the American Athletic Conference rushing leader.

Keenan Reynolds, Navy

Thomas Niles, DE, UCFNiles earned all-conference second team plaudits last season in an American Athletic Conference that was stacked with quality linemen. He tied for UCF’s team lead with 13 tackles for loss and led the Knights with 7.5 sacks.

Gunner Kiel, QB, CincinnatiThere may not have been a player in the country whose debut was under more scrutiny than Kiel’s was last season when the Bearcats opened against Toledo. Well, the first pass from the Notre Dame transfer went for 52 yards, Cincinnati was in the end zone two plays later, and Kiel was on his way to a 418-yard, six-touchdown performance. He finished the year with 3,254 yards a school-record-tying 31 touchdown passes as Cincinnati won a share of the American Athletic Conference title. With a year of playing experience under his belt, and with his top seven receivers returning, Kiel could post staggering numbers in 2015.

Marquise Vann, LB, UConnVann had an excellent individual season on a UConn defense that performed better than the Huskies’ 2014 record might suggest. Vann had 105 tackles with seven tackles for loss and a forced fumble last season. He anchors a group of linebackers that is among the best in The American and should turn some heads on a national level in 2015.

Josh Hawkins, CB, East CarolinaHawkins was a big-play performer for the East Caro-lina defense last season as he finished with five inter-ceptions and 16 passes defended along with 44 tackles and a forced fumble. He was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back, and earned a spot on the all-conference second team.

William Jackson, CB, HoustonJackson earned all-conference second-team plaudits in 2014 as the cornerstone of a Houston secondary that ranked 18th nationally in defensive pass efficiency. He had a team-high 12 passes defended to go with two interceptions, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and 37 tackles.

Paxton Lynch, QB, MemphisLynch was a breakout star who helped Memphis to its best season in more than 40 years as the Tigers won 10 games and captured a share of the American Athletic Conference title. Lynch threw for 3,031 yards and 22 touchdowns, completing 63 percent of his passes, but he added an American Athletic Conference-leading 13 rushing touchdowns, engineering a Memphis unit that averaged 36.2 points per game.

Keenan Reynolds, QB, NavyReynolds expects to thrive in a senior season in which he could threaten one of college football’s elite records. Already the NCAA career record-holder for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (64), Reynolds could make a legitimate run at the overall rushing TD mark of 77, held by former Wisconsin running back Montee Ball. Reynolds rushed for 1,191 yards and 23 TDs last season and will be the key man Navy’s potent ground game.

Marlon Mack, RB, USFMack came to USF as a highly regarded prospect and delivered a 275-yard, four-touchdown performance in his first collegiate game. He went on to lead The American in rushing yards (1,041) and was chosen as the conference’s Rookie of the Year. Mack will be a key component for a USF offense that should become more explosive in the 2015 season.

Darius Joseph, WR, SMUJoseph burst on the scene as a freshman in 2013 when he had 103 receptions for 808 yards on a high-powered Mustang offense. He led the team in receptions last season, but the Mustangs struggled with offensive consistency. Joseph looks for a return to his earlier form under new head coach Chad Morris, who proved to be a boon for wide receivers as the offensive coor-dinator at Clemson.

Tyler Matakevich, LB, TempleMatakevich will be a fixture on every preseason defensive awards list on the strength of his first three seasons. He was a first team all-conference selection last year after he registered 117 tackles with 10.5 tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries, a safety and an interception. It was Matakevich’s third straight season with at least 100 tackles, giving him a shot at becoming just the seventh FBS player to break triple figures four times.

Parry Nickerson, CB, TulaneNickerson established himself as an impact player in the secondary as a freshman last season and was tested frequently as teams were wary of eventual fourth-round NFL draft pick Lorenzo Doss at the op-posite corner. Nickerson, who answered the challenge to the tune of a league-leading six interceptions, may see that number go down as he becomes the man that opposing teams avoid in the Green Wave secondary.

Keevan Lucas, WR, TulsaLucas was one of the top receivers in the nation last season as he finished with 101 receptions for 1,219 yards and a league-leading 11 touchdowns. With the arrival of new coach Philip Montgomery – the architect of Baylor’s record-setting offenses in recent years – and the return of the Golden Hurricane’s other primary skill position players, Lucas should be a fixture in the end zone once again.

American IdolsKeep an eye on these American Athletic Conference players, who could challenge for All-America honors in 2015

Keevan Lucas, Tulsa



Stop, ThiefHouston S Adrian McDonald had a turnover in seen of the Cougars’ 13 games. McDonald finished the season with five interceptions and three fumble recoveries.

Veteran PresenceNavy coach Ken Niumatalolo, who enters his eighth year as the Midshipmen’s head coach, has more head coaching experience than the other five West Division coaches combined (six years).

Start Me UpTemple returns 19 starters from last season, including 10 from a defense that ranked fourth nationally in points allowed (17.5 ppg). Tulane returns 18 starters, while Tulsa returns 17 and SMU 16.

IntroductionsThe American Athletic Conference West Division features three first-year head coaches. SMU is led by Chad Morris, who was formerly the offensive coordinator at Clemson and a highly successful high school coach in Texas. Houston hired Tom Herman, the former Ohio State offensive coordinator and the 2014 winner of the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant. Tulsa is led by Philip Montgomery, who was the offensive coordinator for Baylor’s back-to-back Big 12 championship teams.

To Be The BestAmerican Athletic Conference teams will face seven of the teams that were ranked in the final Associated Press poll of the 2014 season. The American’s noncon-ference slate includes games against No. 3 TCU, No. 5 Florida State, No. 7 Baylor, No. 8 Georgia Tech, No. 14 Missouri, No. 17 Mississippi and No. 24 Louisville. Teams from The American will also face Notre Dame, Stanford, Air Force, Duke and Oklahoma —which all received votes in the final national poll.

Play OnSeven of the 12 American Athletic Conference teams in 2015 were bowl-eligible in 2014 (UCF, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, Navy, Temple). Houston, Memphis and Navy earned bowl victories last season.

Back For MoreNine of the 26 players who earned American Athletic Conference First Team accolades last year are back in 2015. Seven schools have at least one first-team selection returning. Memphis and USF are the only schools with multiple first-teamers back. Returning First-Team All-Conference Players William Stanback, RB, UCF Parker Ehinger, OG, Cincinnati Adrian McDonald, S, Houston Jake Elliott, K, Memphis Alan Cross, TE, Memphis Marlon Mack, RB, USF Mattias Ciabatti, P, USF Deion Sanders Jr., KR, SMU Tyler Matakevich, LB, Temple

DaShaughn Terry’s interception in the second overtime period gave Memphis a win in the Miami Beach Bowl

UCF 17, Houston 12Oct. 2 • Houston, TexasA precursor of things to come for UCF, the Knights’ win against Houston in their conference opener came down to a huge play in the closing seconds. The Cougars had first-and-goal at the 10-yard line with 54 seconds left, but UCF’s Brandon Alexander forced a fumble on Greg Ward Jr.’s dive for the end zone, resulting in a touchback to deny Houston’s bid for the go-ahead score. Little did UCF fans know, the Knights would deliver an even more dramatic finish later in the season.

Cincinnati 54, East Carolina 46Nov. 13 • Cincinnati, OhioGunner Kiel threw four touchdown passes and fresh-man Andrew Gantz kicked a 47-yard field goal with 15 seconds left to give Cincinnati a wild win against East Carolina. Shane Carden threw two touchdown passes for the Pirates, who had taken the lead with 1:02 left before the Bearcats rallied. The teams combined for 1,165 yards of offense and 59 first downs as both starting quarterbacks threw for more than 400 yards.

USF 14, SMU, 13Nov. 15 • Dallas, TexasUSF’s offense had struggled for three quarters against an inspired SMU defense, but the Bulls responded in the fourth quarter behind two Mike White touchdown passes, including the gamewinner to Andre Davis with four seconds left. USF’s final drive covered 75 yards in 21 plays and consumed 6:02 of the fourth quarter.

UCF 32, East Carolina 30Dec. 4 • Greenville, N.C.The most thrilling game of the 2014 season came down to the final play as UCF’s Breshad Perriman caught a 51-yard Hail Mary pass from Justin Holman at the final gun to give the Knights the win and a share of the American Athletic Conference title. East Carolina, which had erased a 26-9 fourth-quarter deficit to take a 30-26 lead with 2:17 left, took a knee on its final possession, thinking that a win was secure. But the Knights got a big fourth-down sack to give Holman a shot with 10 seconds left.

Memphis 55, Brigham Young 48 (Miami Beach Bowl)Dec. 22, 2014 • Miami, Fla.Memphis capped its finest season in decades with a double-overtime win in the first Miami Beach Bowl. The Tigers forced OT on a touchdown pass with 45 seconds left, stayed alive in overtime on Jake Elliott’s 54-yard field goal, took the lead on Paxton Lynch’s fourth touchdown pass and clinched it when DaShaughn Terry intercepted the Cougars in the second overtime.

Houston 35, Pittsburgh 34 (Armed Forces Bowl)Jan. 2, 2015 • Fort Worth, TexasThe Cougars faced a 31-6 deficit in the fourth quarter, and trailed 34-13 in the final four minutes. But three touchdown passes from Greg Ward Jr., two onside kicks and a two-point conversion allowed Houston to complete the largest comeback win in a bowl game that did not go to overtime in college football history.

Thrilling FinishesThe American Athletic Conference produced some of college football’s most exciting games in the 2014 season



The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship will be played Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015, at noon ET and will be televised nationally on either ABC or ESPN.

The 2015 season will be The American’s first in its new 12-team, two-division format, in which each team will play eight conference games. Each team will face the other five teams in its own division as well as three teams from the other division.

The American’s East Division includes UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, East Carolina, USF and Temple. The West Divi-sion lineup is Houston, Memphis, Navy, SMU, Tulane and Tulsa. The two divisional champions will meet in The American Championship at the home site of one of the participants.

The winner of the American Athletic Conference Football Championship will have the opportunity to participate in one of the College Football Playoff New Year’s Bowls if it is the highest-ranked team among the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

Divisional ChampionsThe divisional champions will be the teams from each division with the highest winning percentage in all conference games – both divisional and non-divisional.

In the event of a two-team tie within a division, the head-to-head result between the tied teams will determine the divisional champion.

Championship SiteThe site of the American Athletic Conference Football Championship will be the home venue of the divisional champion with the best record in conference games.

If the two divisional champions have the same confer-ence record, then the regular-season head-to-head winner between the divisional champions would host the championship. If the divisional champions have the same conference record and did not play in the regular season, then the team with the better overall regular-season record would host the championship.

Justin Holman, QB, UCFHolman was charged with taking over for Blake Bortles, who was the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft and ended up having a solid year. He threw for 2,952 yards and 23 touchdown and led the Knights to a share of the American Athletic Conference title. With a year of starting experience to go with his six-foot-four frame and rocket arm, Holman figures to be next in the UCF line of successful signal-callers.

Mike Boone, CincinnatiBoone was Cincinnati’s leader in rushing yards (650) and rushing touchdowns (nine) last season, so it may be a stretch to put him in this category. But consider-ing that the bulk of Boone’s 2014 numbers came in the final seven games of the season (he had just eight carries in the first six games), it stands to reason that the second-year running back could be poised for a huge sophomore campaign.

Kenton Adeyemi, DE, UConnAdeyemi, a six-foot-four, 285-pound end, brings skill and leadership to the Huskies’ defense, which was a stronger unit last season than the numbers might suggest. Adeyemi had 31 tackles and five tackles for loss last season and will lead a unit that returns eight starters from last season.

Isaiah Jones, WR, East CarolinaJones posted numbers that would make him the leader on most teams last year – 81 receptions for 830 yards and five touchdowns. On the pass-heavy East Carolina offense, Jones finished third in receiving yards as the Pirates leaned on Justin Hardy – the NCAA’s career receptions leader. With Hardy gone to the NFL, Jones becomes the primary threat and should threaten the 1,000-yard barrier as a junior.

Demarcus Ayers, WR, HoustonAyers has already seen time in the spotlight as he was named The American’s Special Teams Player of the Year in 2013. He comes into the 2015 season, how-ever, as the Cougars’ top returning receiver, making him a key to first-year coach Tom Herman’s retooled offense. Ayers had 33 catches for 335 yards and two touchdowns last sesaon.

Sam Craft, RB/WR, MemphisCraft was limited by injuries to eight games last year, and with the departure of 900-yard rusher Brandon Hayes, the junior should be able to step into a larger role. After rushing for 331 yards and three touchdowns last season, Craft should be a primary focus of oppos-ing defenses in 2015.

DeBrandon Sanders, RB, NavyWhile quarterback Keenan Reynolds and fullback Chris Swain might get most of the attention in Navy’s triple-option offense, Sanders could emerge as a regu-lar threat for 100-yard games as the Midshipmen’s top returning slotback. The diminutive Sanders (5-7, 160 pounds), rushed for 231 yards and three touchdowns last year and steps into a starting role as a junior.

Nigel Harris, LB, USFHarris was USF’s second-leading tackler last season and finished as the national leader in forced fumbles (six). He had 77 total stops, two sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss and should be solidly in the mix for all-conference accolades if he can duplicate that performance as a junior.

Deion Sanders Jr., WR, SMUAs part of an offense that struggled with pass protec-tion and consistent quarterback play, Sanders none-theless showed flashes of the ability that made him a special teams threat in his first two seasons. A new coaching staff, a revamped offense, and expected stability at the quarterback position should bode well for Sanders, who should be a primary beneficiary of new coach Chad Morris’ receiver-friendly schemes.

Sean Chandler, CB, TempleChandler is one of the younger players on a veteran Temple squad, but is one of 10 returning starters on the Owl defense. He made 11 starts and had eight pass breakups, an interception and two forced fumbles as a true freshman and will be a key component of a defense that should once again rank among the nation’s best.

Sherman Badie, RB, TulaneBadie rushed for 215 yards in his first career game last season and finished as the Green Wave’s leader in rushing yards (688). An ankle injury slowed Badie down for the second half of the year and the second-year man appears eager to live up to his billing as Tulane’s home-run hitter on offense. He will have the added benefit of running behind a line that returns four of its five starters from last season.

Craig Suits, LB, TulsaSuits made 12 starts as a freshman last season and looks to build on an impressive rookie year that was capped with Freshman All-American honors. Suits fin-ished second on the Golden Hurricane with 81 tackles to go with 7.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and four pass breakups. Tulane expects to see an improved defense this season, with six starters returning, and Suits figures to be a significant part of the turnaround.

UCF

STORYLINESUCF has gone 15-1 in American Athletic Confer-ence games in the league’s first two years. The Knights won the outright league title in 2013 and shared the crown in 2014.

UCF went 6-0 at Bright House Network Stadium last season and is 22-3 in its last 25 home games. The Knights have won 10 straight at home.

Since 2012, UCF ranks eighth nationally with 31 wins.

OFFENSEThe only returning starters at the skill positions from last year are QB Justin Holman and RB William Stanback

Stanback is a two-time all-conference selection who rushed for 697 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Stanback was sixth in The American in rushing.

Holman started the final 12 games of the season after coming on in relief in the season-opener. He threw for 2,952 yards and 23 touchdowns with 14 interceptions last year.

C Joey Grant is a third-year starter who anchors the offensive line, but looks to remain in the lineup after an injury-shortened 2014 season. OG Tarik Cook and OG Chavis Dickey return from last year’s starting unit.

WR Jordan Akins (12 receptions, 135 yards) is the top returning receiver.

DEFENSEThe Knights return only four starters from last year’s defense, which allowed just 298.5 yards per game to lead The American.

Among the losses are three all-conference selections in the secondary, including CB Ja-coby Glenn, who shared the American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year award.

DE Thomas Niles earned second-team all-conference honors last year after he registered 13 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. Niles leads a defensive line that returns seven of its top eight players from last year’s depth chart.

LB Chequan Burkett is the lone returning starter at linebacker. Burkett made 40 tackles in 12 games last season.

SPECIAL TEAMSP Caleb Houston averaged 38.9 yards per punt last season and ranked eighth in the American Athletic Conference.

The Knights will need to find a new placekicker with the loss of the reliable Shawn Moffitt. K Matthew Wright enjoyed a promising spring and could take over as the regular.

UCF

In his 12th year at UCF in 2015, George O’Leary has helped the Knights achieve dozens of historic firsts, including games in front of sellout crowds on campus, indi-vidual accolades for student-athletes, four conference championships and victories in prestigious bowl games. For O’Leary, it has been business as usual.

Since taking over the program in 2004, O’Leary has made sure that UCF has reached new heights. The longest-tenured coach in the American Athletic Conference, the veteran football mind has molded his program into a consistent win-ner on and off of the field.

As the most successful football coach in UCF history, O’Leary was announced as interim director of athletics on June 23, 2015. His term began in July and will run through the end of 2015.

Earning back-to-back conference titles for the first time, UCF captured the American Athletic Conference crown thanks to a 7-1 league record in 2014. It received a spot in the Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl and ultimately landed a 9-4 overall record, marking the third straight year the Knights had at least nine victories.

Joining The American in 2013, UCF set school records with 12 wins, seven victories away from Orlando and a nine-game winning streak. UCF was undefeated in league play for the first time (8-0) en route to the outright conference title.

The 2013 squad also posted UCF’s first two wins over top-10 teams (No. 8/6 Louisville and No. 6/5 Baylor) and its first victories against Big Ten (Penn State) and Big 12 (Baylor) programs. And on Dec. 8, exactly 10 years to the day O’Leary was hired at UCF, the Knights accepted their first BCS bowl berth.

Ranked No. 15 heading into the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, UCF lit up University of Phoenix Stadium with a 52-42 triumph over Big 12 champion Baylor. And the celebration continued in the days after as the Knights achieved their first top-10 ranking by placing 10th in the final AP Top 25 Poll. They were then honored by thousands with a massive pep rally at CFE Arena and a once-in-a-lifetime parade at Magic Kingdom.

O’Leary was named The American’s Coach of the Year in 2013, as well as a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award, to The Paul Bear Bryant Coach of the Year Award Watch List and a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year.

O’Leary has already left his stamp on the Knights’ program. When he arrived in Orlando in 2004, UCF was not a factor on the regional or national scenes.

O’Leary rebuilt the program from the ground up. He lobbied for new facilities, toured the state to gain publicity, restocked UCF with top recruits and made sure his student-athletes excelled in their studies.

The growth of the program was no more evident than in 2007. UCF posted a then-school-record seven-game winning streak during the season on its way to the Conference USA title — the first league championship in program history.

O’Leary has reshaped the UCF program in every facet, including improved results in the classroom. The Knights exited C-USA as the top football program academically in 2011 and 2012, then continued that trend by winning the American Athletic Conference Team Academic Excellence Award for 2013.

Sixteen Knights who played under O’Leary have been selected in the NFL Draft.

O’Leary was the head coach at Georgia Tech from 1994-01 after taking over as interim head coach for the final three games of the 1994 sea-son. During his seven-year stint at Georgia Tech, O’Leary guided the Yellow Jackets to a 52-33 record. The squad made five bowl appearances under O’Leary.

From 1995-01, Georgia Tech recorded five win-ning seasons in six years. His 1998 squad won the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship and played in the Gator Bowl on New Year’s Day. O’Leary’s Georgia Tech teams won at least seven games on four occasions , including a 10-win campaign in 1998 and nine victories in 2000.

The 2000 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year, O’Leary was named the ACC Coach of the Year in 1998 and 2000.

STORYLINESCincinnati has won at least nine games seven times in the last eight years.

The Bearcats won their last seven regular-season games to close the 2014 season before falling to Virginia Tech in the Military Bowl.

The Bearcats return to Nippert Stadium in 2015 after the venerable stadium underwent an $86 million renovation. Cincinnati played its 2014 home games at Paul Brown Stadium.

OFFENSEQB Gunner Kiel battled through injuries to start all 13 games last year. Kiel led the American Athletic Conference with 31 touchdown passes and a 149.4 efficiency rating.

The Bearcats return their top seven receivers from last season — players who caught a com-bined 33 touchdown passes in 2014. WR Chris Moore averaged a conference-leading 22.4 yards per catch and had eight TDs last season.

Cincinnati saw a number of running backs go down with injuries last season before RB Mike Boone picked up the slack as a true freshman. Boone led the team with 650 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.

OG Parker Ehinger earned all-conference first-team honors last season and is the anchor of the Bearcats’ veteran offensive line. That unit has 76 career starts to its credit.

DEFENSECincinnati has five starters back from a defense that made marked improvement in the second half of last season. The Bearcats ranked ninth in The American in total defense last year.

The Bearcats lose two players who registered 100 tackles last season (LB Jeff Luc, LB Nick Temple).

The top returning tackler from last year is S Zach Edwards, who made 121 stops with two interceptions and six pass breakups.

CB Adrian Witty was granted a sixth year of eligibility and returns to his starting spot in the secondary.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Andrew Gantz earned all-conference second team honors as a freshman after he ranked second in The American in kicker scoring. Gantz hit 16 of 20 field goal attempts in 2014.

P Sam Geraci averaged 39.4 yards per punt and ranked seventh in The American.

WR Johnny Holton averaged 20.6 yards on kick-off returns, which ranked third among American Athletic Conference players.

Tommy Tuberville was named the 41st football head coach at the University of Cincinnati Dec. 8, 2012.

Tuberville, widely regarded as one of the top coaches and recruiters in college foot-ball, holds a career mark of 149-85. He has led the Bearcats to an 18-8 mark, a 2014 American Athletic Conference Football Championship and two bowl appearances.

He came to UC after three years at Texas Tech, where he led the Red Raiders to a 20-17 mark and a pair of bowl appear-ances.

Tuberville assembled the top two recruiting classes in Texas Tech history that placed the Red Raiders in the national top 25 in both 2011 and 2012.

Tuberville’s strong bowl history proved beneficial for the Red Raiders as he led them to a 45-38 win over Northwestern, which gave Tech its third consecutive win over a Big Ten foe.

In 10 seasons at Auburn (1999-2008), Tuberville led the Tigers to 85 overall wins, which ranks fourth in school history. The Tigers also won 49 Southeastern Conference games, a number that is the fourth-best mark in the SEC. Tuberville led Auburn to seven-straight bowl appearances, including New Year’s Day bowl games in four of those years.

In 2004, Tuberville led Auburn to its best sea-son ever as the Tigers won a school-record 13 games and captured the SEC Championship and the Nokia Sugar Bowl title. Auburn won its first conference title since 1989, including its first outright championship since 1987. Auburn defeated five top-15 teams, becoming just the 10th NCAA Division I-A team to finish 13-0 or better. The Tigers earned their first berth in a Bowl Championship Series game and defeated Virginia Tech, 16-13 in the Sugar Bowl. For his efforts, Tuberville was named the AFCA, Associated Press, Paul “Bear” Bryant, FCA, SEC and Walter Camp Coach of the Year.

The season before Tuberville’s arrival, Auburn finished with a 3-8 overall record and a last-place finish in the SEC Western Division. Tuberville led Auburn to an SEC Championship, five Western Division titles including outright championships in 2000 and 2004 and co-championships in 2001, 2002 and 2005. Tuberville directed Auburn to eight consecutive bowl appearances, including five New Year’s Day bowl berths and three con-secutive January 1 bowl games from 2005-07.

While at Ole Miss from 1995-98, Tuberville posted a 25-20 record. Inheriting a Rebel pro-gram plagued by NCAA sanctions and proba-

tion, he guided Ole Miss to a winning record in his first season in 1995, despite having just 61 players on scholarship. He did not have a full compliment of scholarship players to work with in any of his four years at Ole Miss.

Prior to becoming head coach at Ole Miss, Tuberville served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Texas A&M for one sea-son. In 1994, he helped lead the Aggies to a 10-0-1 record and No. 8 final ranking by the Associated Press.

Tuberville served as a member of the University of Miami staff for eight seasons from 1986-93, taking over as defensive coordinator in 1993. While serving on the staffs of Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson at Miami, Tuberville was a defensive coach on teams which won three national championships, posted an 87-9 record and played in nine consecutive New Year’s Day bowls.

Tuberville began his collegiate coaching career at Arkansas State in 1980, coaching various segments of the Indians’ defense over the next five seasons. During a five-year stay at Arkansas State, Tuberville coached defensive backs, nose guards and linebackers. During his final year at ASU, the Indians advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division I-AA play-offs. He began his coaching career at Hermitage (Ark.) High School where he spent two years as an assistant and two as a head coach. After three straight four-win seasons, Tuberville guided HHS to a 7-3 mark in 1979 before moving to Arkansas State.

A 1976 graduate of Southern Arkansas University, Tuberville was a letterman at free safety and a two-year member of the golf team at SAU.

UCONN

STORYLINESUConn heads into its second season under head coach Bob Diaco with 13 returning starters, including seven on defense.

The Huskies had reeled off four straight winning seasons between 2007 and 2010 — a stretch that included two conference titles and a Fiesta Bowl appearance — but look to end a string of four straight seasons without a bowl bid.

UConn will face five of its 12 opponents for the first time in the 2014 season.

OFFENSEQB Tim Boyle is the only returning player on the roster who saw time behind center last season. QB Bryant Shirreffs, a transfer from North Caro-lina State and a former Northeast Georgia high school player of the year, figures to battle for the starting spot in 2015.

RB Ron Johnson emerged as the Huskies’ lead-ing rusher as a freshman last season. Johnson rushed for 429 yards and three touchdowns, while RB Arkeel Newsome and RB Joshua Mar-riner made contributions as freshmen as well.

WR Noel Thomas had a team-high four touch-down receptions last year and is the Huskies’ top returning receiver.

UConn returns three starters on the offensive line — OT Richard Levy, OT Andreas Knappe and OG Tyler Samara. C Ryan Crozier was named to the Rimington Trophy preseason watch list.

DEFENSEUConn could boast one of the more improved defenses in the nation thanks to the return of key players at every spot.

DE Kenton Adeyemi and NG Julian Campenni anchor a veteran defensive line which returns its top four tacklers from last year.

LB Marquis Vann (eighth), S Andrew Adams (10th) and LB Graham Stewart (12th) were all among the American Athletic Conference lead-ers in tackles.

Vann finished the season with 105 tackles and seven tackles for loss. Stewart registered 94 stops with 10.5 TFL, two sacks and two forced fumbles.

Adams proved to be an impact player in the secondary after he made 95 tackles with four interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

SPECIAL TEAMSUConn will return both kicking specialists from last year.

K Bobby Puyol was the regular placekicker and made 19 of 22 field goal attempts.

P Justin Wain averaged 38.8 yards on an American Athletic Conference-leading 74 punts last season. Wain’s average was fourth in The American.

UCONN

In his first season as the head football coach at the University of Connecticut in 2014, Bob Diaco has touched every facet of the program and has built a strong foundation for a championship future at UConn.

Diaco, who enters his second season with the Huskies in 2015, served on the Notre Dame coaching staff as the defen-sive coordinator from 2010-13 and the assistant head coach in 2012-13. He was named the 30th head football coach at UConn on Dec. 12, 2013.

Diaco was the 2012 winner of the Frank Broyles Award, given to the top assistant college football coach in the country and was the first Irish assistant to receive the prestigious award. He was a semifinalist for the award in 2011.

Diaco joined the Notre Dame staff in 2010 as defensive coordinator and inside line-backer coach, took responsibility for the entire linebacker position in 2011 and added responsi-bilities as associate head coach in 2012.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked among the top 10 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 12 differ-ent categories as the school played in the BCS National Championship Game and posted an overall record of 12-1.

Diaco has an impressive coaching resume as he served at Virginia (2006-08) as the line-backers and special teams coordinator and Cincinnati (2009) as the defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach before joining the Notre Dame staff.

A native of Cedar Grove, N.J., and a 1995 Iowa graduate, Diaco began his coaching career in 1996-97 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater.

He then served on the staffs of Western Illinois (1999-2000) as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach, Eastern Michigan (2001-2003) working with the same positions and Central Michigan (2005) as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

Diaco has coached in eight postseason games, including the BCS title game with Notre Dame in 2012 and the Sugar Bowl with Cincinnati in 2010. He played in three bowl games as a student-athlete at Iowa.

He was a two-time All-Big Ten selection at Iowa as a linebacker under Hall of Fame coach Hayden Fry and was named the team’s co-MVP in 1995, starting in all 23 games over his junior and senior seasons.

Diaco has developed a national reputation as one of the top defensive coaches in the game. Notre Dame allowed an average of 19.08 points/

game over the last four seasons, which ranks as the ninth-best average over 2010-13 of any team in the FBS.

In his only season at Cincinnati (2009), he was charged with replacing 10 starters on the Bearcats’ defense, including every player on the front seven for 2009. The Bearcats recorded 110 tackles for loss in 2009 (8.46 per game) to rank third in the nation. They totaled 37 sacks and tied for 10th in the country averaging 2.85 sacks per contest. Cincinnati’s defense allowed 3.6 rush-ing yards per carry.

Prior to Cincinnati, Diaco spent three years as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator on Al Groh’s coaching staff at the University of Virginia from 2006-08. At the con-clusion of the 2008 season, was promoted to the Cavaliers’ defensive coordinator position, but he left two months later to take the same position at Cincinnati. Virginia played in the Gator Bowl following ‘07.

In his only season at Central Michigan (2005), Diaco turned around CMU’s rushing defense that just two years earlier had ranked last in the Mid-American Conference. Under Diaco’s watch, Central Michigan led the MAC, allowing only 113.7 rushing yards per game.

He coached the special teams and lineback-ers at Western Michigan from 1999-2000. The punting, punt return and kickoff return units all finished in the top three of the MAC.

Diaco’s first full-time position was at Western Illinois where he was the running backs coach and special teams coordinator in 1999 and 2000. The Leathernecks won the Gateway Conference crown in 2000 and made an appearance in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

EAST CAROLINA

STORYLINESEast Carolina has made eight bowl appearances in the last nine years.

The Pirates registered two wins against top-25 opponents last year, defeating No. 17 Virginia Tech and No. 25 North Carolina in nonconfer-ence play.

East Carolina, which fell to Florida in the Birmin-gam Bowl last season, has a rematch with the Gators in the second game of the 2015 season.

OFFENSEEast Carolina will have to replace the potent tandem of QB Shane Carden, who was the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year, and WR Justin Hardy, the NCAA career receptions leader.

QB Kurt Benkert, who saw action in three games in 2014, is expected to take over as the starter.

WR Isaiah Jones was the team’s second-leading receiver last year with 81 receptions for 830 yards and five touchdowns.

RB Chris Hairston was second on the team in rushing last season (528 yards, two TDs) and is primed to take over as the starter.

OT Ike Harris, OG J.T. Boyd and TE Bryce Wil-liams all earned second-team all-conference honors last year.

DEFENSEThe Pirates return fiver starters from last year’s defense.

LB Zeek Bigger led the American Athletic Con-ference in tackles in 2014 (140) and was a second team all-conference selection. LB Montese Overton had 68 tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss.

DE Johnathon White is the lone returning starter from last year on the defensive line, but the Pi-rates should receive a boost from the return of DE Terrell Stanley. Stanley was a starter in 2013 who missed all of last season while recovering from injuries suffered in a car accident.

CB Josh Hawkins had five interceptions, which ranked third in The American, and was second in the conference with 11 pass breakups.

SPECIAL TEAMSThe Pirates will have to find a new man at place-kicker following the departure of Warren Harvey. K Davis Plowman saw limited action last season.

P Worth Gregory, a transfer from Alabama, aver-aged 43.6 yards per punt, which would have put him among atop the conference leaders had he enough punts to qualify.

Isaiah Jones served as the primary kickoff return specialist last year. The Pirates will need to fill the void left by Justin Hardy, who doubled as the main punt returner.

EAST CAROLINA

When former Pirate defensive back and assistant coach Ruffin McNeill came home five years ago, the return offered a promise of renewed Purple and Gold passion.

McNeill, who starred as a four-year let-terman in the late 1970s, was appointed East Carolina’s 20th head football coach Jan. 21, 2010, after completing a 10-year stay at Texas Tech.

After initially rewriting the school’s offensive record books in 2010 and consis-tently adding more entries each following season, McNeill’s efforts on the recruiting trail, dedicated off-season commitment and family approach resulted in a com-petitive balance that allowed the Pirates to post 26 victories in a recent three-year span that included the program’s second-highest single-season win total in school history in 2013.

East Carolina’s first campaign in the American Athletic Conference in 2014 was memorable as McNeill’s squad raced out of the gate with a 6-1 record and resided in the Associated Press Top 25 polls for six weeks.

During his initial season in 2010, the self-described football “lifer” guided East Carolina to six wins and qualification for a bowl game, despite inheriting a program which lost 34 letter-men off the previous year’s squad - the most of any FBS program in America. Capacity crowds at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium were also treated to a thrilling, high-scoring and prolific spread offen-sive scheme which enjoyed a record-breaking campaign - shattering or at least matching 29 team or individual standards.

McNeill’s 2012 edition, young by most stan-dards with 17 juniors and nine sophomores who made starts throughout the season, posted an 8-5 record and owned a share of the C-USA East Division title by matching a program best with a 7-1 league slate.

His success and leadership abilities at ECU have enabled McNeill to be a three-time recipi-ent of the Fritz Pollard Alliance Foundation’s Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Salute to Excellence Award for college head coaches, earning the honor in 2011, 2013 and 2014.

Before returning to his alma mater, McNeill concluded the 2009 season as the Texas Tech interim head coach by rallying the No. 21 Red Raiders to a 41-31 victory over Michigan State at the Valero Alamo Bowl.

The 2009 campaign was his 10th season as a member of Mike Leach’s staff and second full year as the defensive coordinator. He served the final nine games of 2007 in that role on an interim

basis, before taking over officially in 2008.A charter member of Leach’s initial coaching

staff in 2000, McNeill began his career at Texas Tech as linebackers coach during the 2000-02 seasons, before taking over defensive tackles and special teams duties in 2003.

McNeill began his coaching career as a defen-sive coach at Lumberton (N.C.) High School from 1980-84, before taking his first collegiate position as a graduate assistant coaching linebackers at Clemson during the 1985-86 seasons. The Tigers won the Atlantic Coast Conference title in 1986 and advanced to the Gator Bowl, a year after appearing in the Independence Bowl.

Following one-year stints at Austin Peay and North Alabama as linebackers coach, McNeill spent three seasons on the mountain at Appalachian State, where the team won the Southern Conference title in 1991. In his first tour of duty at ASU, the school appeared in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs each season.

He returned to the Boone, N.C., program after a year as defensive line coach at East Carolina, in 1992. As defensive coordinator at Appalachian State from 1993-96, the team won the 1995 Southern Conference title and competed in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs at the conclusion of the 1994 and 1995 regular seasons.

McNeill tapped the professional ranks for experience, working as a summer intern with the Miami Dolphins in 1996. From there he went to UNLV in 1997 and 1998 as defensive coordinator both seasons and assistant head coach in 1998.

A four-year letterwinner at ECU from 1976-80, McNeill was a three-year starter at defen-sive back and was the team captain for two seasons. He helped lead the Pirates to the Southern Conference Championship in 1976 and an Independence Bowl berth in 1978.

USF

STORYLINESUSF doubled its wins total from 2013 in Willie Taggart’s second year as the Bulls’ head coach.

Since 2007, USF has registered nonconference wins against Auburn, UCF, Clemson, Florida State, Miami (Fla.), North Carolina, Northern Illinois and Notre Dame, among others.

The Bulls will have new coordinators on both offense and defense in 2015. Co-offensive co-ordinator Danny Hope was formerly the head coach at Purdue.

OFFENSERB Marlon Mack was named the American Ath-letic Conference Rookie of the Year in 2014 after he led the conference in rushing (86.8 ypg). Mack had four 100-yard games and five touchdown runs of at least 54 yards in his freshman season.

QB Steven Bench and QB Quinton Flowers will battle for the starting spot in the summer. Bench has made three career starts, while Flowers made one start as a freshman last year.

Returning starters OG Brynjar Gudmundsson and OG Thor Jozwiak provide a solid foundation on the interior line.

The top returning receiver is WR Rodney Ad-ams, who had 23 catches for 323 yards and two touchdowns in 2014

DEFENSEDefensive coordinator Tom Allen joins the staff after he spent the last three seasons as the linebackers coach at Mississippi.

LB Nigel Harris led the nation with six forced fumbles in 2014. He is part of a USF defense that returns its top five tacklers from last season.

Harris joins LB Auggie Sanchez as returning starters at linebacker. S Jamie Byrd also returns as a starter at the husky position.

The secondary returns three starters — CB Johnny Ward, S Nate Godwin and S Devin Abra-ham. S Tajee Fullwood saw starting duty as well.

SPECIAL TEAMSP Mattias Ciabatti is among the top punters in the nation. He led The American and was 10th nationally with an average punt of 44.4 yards on his way to all-conference first-team honors.

The Bulls will have to replace the production of Marvin Kloss, a former Groza Award finalist who was one of the nation’s top kickers.

USF

The University of South Florida named Willie Taggart its head football coach on Dec. 9, 2012.

Taggart came to USF after spending three seasons as head coach at his alma mater Western Kentucky, where he led a dramatic turnaround for the Hilltoppers. Prior to taking the lead at WKU, Taggart had a very successful run at Stanford, helping build the Cardinal into a national power.

Prior to Taggart’s arrival at WKU, the Hilltoppers had lost 20 consecutive games. But after just one year of transi-tion, Taggart guided the school to two consecutive winning seasons, culminat-ing in its first bowl appearance, the 2012 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, since joining the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

Under Taggart’s leadership, WKU posted 14 wins in 2011 and 2012 after the program won just four games the previous three seasons combined. The Hilltoppers went from 2-6 in 2010 Sun Belt games to 7-1 in 2011, marking the larg-est one-year turnaround in conference history. WKU won 12-of-14 games between the end of 2011 and the start of 2012, with the only losses coming to LSU and Alabama, both of which were ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time, and most importantly, WKU secured the top recruiting classes in the Sun Belt Conference in both 2010 and 2011.

After guiding the Hilltoppers to two wins in his first season, Taggart saw his squad start 0-4 in 2011. That’s when the turnaround began. WKU went on to win seven of its last eight games. The only loss in that stretch came to No. 1 LSU in Baton Rouge. The Hilltoppers went 7-1 in the Sun Belt Conference to finish second in the league. The only league-loss was a four-point setback to eventual champion Arkansas State.

The five-win difference in Sun Belt Conference play represented the biggest one-season turn-around in league history. Only two teams in all of the FBS - Houston and Arkansas State - expe-rienced bigger turnarounds in terms of overall wins from 2010 to 2011.

Before joining the Hilltoppers, Taggart served as running backs coach at Stanford from 2007-09. He joined the Stanford coaching staff follow-ing a 1-11 season in 2006 and was instrumental in the development of the Cardinal offense and running game that has become a staple of that program’s three-year BCS run. Stanford, ranked as high as 14th in the nation by the Associated Press in 2009, posted an 8-4 regular-season record with wins over nationally-ranked USC and Oregon. Stanford led the Pac-10 in total

offense (441.4 ypg.), while ranking second in the conference and 11th in the nation in rushing offense (224.3 ypg.). Stanford’s 2,692 rushing yards in 2009 broke the school’s single-season rushing yardage mark that had stood since 1949 (2,481).

Prior to his arrival at Stanford, Taggart spent the previous eight seasons on the WKU coach-ing staff (1999-2006) and helped guide the Hilltoppers to eight-consecutive winning cam-paigns during the stretch. He was also the co-offensive coordinator in 2001 and 2002, helping lead the Hilltoppers to the Division I-AA national championship in 2002, and was promoted to assistant head coach in 2003.

Taggart also spent his collegiate playing days at WKU (1995-98) and was only the third WKU athlete in the past half-century to hold down the quarterback slot for the Hilltoppers for four straight years. Taggart - who set 11 WKU school records - had his jersey retired on October 23, 1999. He finished his career as WKU’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns (47), ranked sec-ond in scoring (286 points), pass efficiency rating (127.71) and rushing yards (3,997), tied for third in most 100-yard rushing games (17), and tied for fourth in touchdown passes (30). His rushing yards were the most in NCAA Division I history at the time for a quarterback.

In each of his last two collegiate seasons, he was a finalist for the prestigious Walter Payton Award, which is an honor given annually to the top offensive player in FCS football. Taggart fin-ished fourth in the balloting in 1997 and seventh as a senior the following year.

Taggart graduated from WKU with a bach-elor’s degree in social sciences in 1998.

TEMPLE

On Dec. 17, 2012, Matt Rhule returned to North Broad Street to take the helm as head coach of the Temple Owls.

Following six seasons as one of Al Golden’s top assistants, he joined the New York Giants as the assistant offensive line coach in 2012. He is in his third year as the 26th Owls head coach and in his ninth year overall on the Temple campus.

Prior to the start of his first season in charge he offered that his squad would produce an exciting brand of football and they would improve as the season pro-gressed. Rhule delivered on those prom-ises as the 2013 Owls produced nearly 400 yards per game of offense (the second best total in school history).

The mission in the 2014 offseason was to learn how to finish out games. They did just that, allowing only 23 fourth-quarter points in all of 2014. That adjustment, and the overall improved play of the defense, helped the Owls to a 6-6 record.

Rhule, a former player at Penn State, has 17 years of collegiate coaching experience, includ-ing eight seasons at Temple, and six bowl games on his resume.

Rhule joined the Giants in the spring of 2012. He worked closely with Pat Flaherty, who has been the offensive line coach since 2004. They finished the 2012 campaign at 9-7, second in the NFC East, and averaged 355 yards of offense per game. Four New York players, including guard Chris Snee, were selected to the Pro Bowl.

During his previous tenure at Temple, Rhule’s role changed several times. In spring 2012, he was promoted to co-offensive coordinator after serving as the assistant offensive coordinator and tight ends coach as well as the recruit-ing coordinator under Steve Addazio in 2011. Temple’s 2012 recruiting class was ranked #1 in the Mid-American Conference and helped lay the foundation for the program’s transition to the Big East Conference.

Under Al Golden, Rhule was promoted to offen-sive coordinator in the spring of 2008. He also coached the TU quarterbacks. He coached the defensive line in 2006 and served as the quarter-backs coach and recruiting coordinator during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. For three consecu-tive years, Temple’s recruiting class was ranked #1 in the MAC [2006, 2007, 2008].

In 2011, the Owls went 9-4 and played in the fourth bowl game in school history, the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, where they crushed Wyoming, 37-15 – Temple’s first postseason vic-tory since the 1979 Garden State Bowl.

In 2010, Rhule helped guide the team to an 8-4

regular-season record, and the Owls recorded back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1978-79.

In 2009, Rhule’s offense helped TU win a single-season-record nine consecutive games en route to a 9-4 overall record and first-place tie in the MAC East. Under Rhule’s guidance, the Owls set the Temple single-season rushing yardage record.

In 2008, Rhule took the reins as offensive coor-dinator, helping the Owls to their most wins in nearly two decades.

Rhule arrived in Owl Country after spending four seasons as an assistant coach at Western Carolina, including three as assistant head coach.

From 2002 to 2005, Rhule was an assistant at Western Carolina under head coach Kent Briggs, serving as assistant head coach during his last three seasons.

Rhule arrived at Western Carolina after serv-ing as assistant defensive line coach at UCLA in 2001. He assisted in coaching five Bruins who earned All PAC-10 honors as the team posted a 7-4 record under head coach Bob Toledo.

From 1999 to 2000, Rhule served as an assistant coach at Buffalo, directing the Bulls defensive line in 2000 and working as assistant defensive line coach in 1999.

Rhule began his career as a volunteer assis-tant at Penn State in the spring of 1998 before working at Albright College for the 1998 season. At Albright, he coached the linebackers in a 4-3 scheme and recruited western and central Pennsylvania.

Rhule played four seasons at linebacker with the Nittany Lions under Joe Paterno. A three-time Penn State Scholar-Athlete, he earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 1997.

HOUSTON

Tom Herman was named head coach at the University of Houston Dec. 16, 2014, just one week after being named the Broyles Award winner, presented to the nation’s top assistant coach.

Herman has helped develop record-setting and explosive offenses in each of his 10 seasons as an offensive coor-dinator, including his three seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Ohio State where he helped the Buckeyes win the 2015 College Football Championship with third-string quarter-back Cardale Jones under center.

Herman’s 2014 Ohio State offense fin-ished the season ranked fifth in scoring offense at 44.8 points per game and ninth in total offense at 511.6 yards per game despite losing Heisman Trophy candidate Braxton Miller prior to the season. With freshman J.T. Barrett taking over the reins just prior to the season, Herman simply molded the quarterback into a formidable leader who fin-ished fifth in Heisman voting and was named a FWAA Freshman All-American.

Herman’s quarterbacks in 2014 ranked second nationally with a team passing efficiency rating of 167.72, while Barrett was second nationally with a rating of 169.8 and sixth nationally with an Ohio State record 34 passing touchdowns while also adding 11 touchdowns on the ground for a Big Ten record of 45 touchdowns responsible for. The Buckeyes’ offense was sixth nationally with an average of 6.98 yards per play and sec-ond nationally with 46 plays of 30 yards or longer and 17 plays of 50 yards or longer.

Barrett, the Big Ten’s 2014 Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year, was one of four offen-sive players to receive All-Big Ten honors in 2014 and was the third offensive player to receive a major Big Ten award under Herman’s leadership as Carlos Hyde was named the 2013 Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year and Miller was named the Chicago Tribune Silver Football, the Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year and the Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year in both 2012 and 2013.

After leading the Big Ten in scoring in 2012 at 37.2 points per game and ranking 10th nationally in rushing at nearly 250 yards per game, Ohio State’s offense under Herman went to a new level in 2013 by ranking third nationally in scor-ing with 45.5 points per game and fifth in rushing with 308.6 yards per game.

The Buckeyes have been successful through the air as well. Among the 12 single season records to fall in 2013 were most touchdown passes (38) with top-five school totals in passing

yards (2,846), attempts (368) and completions (238). Additional records were set in rushing yards in a season (4,321 yards, which also is a Big Ten Conference record), most total touch-downs (82) and most total offensive yards (7,167), yards per play (7.1) and yards per game (511.9).

Herman, who was named the 2013 Rivals.com Big Ten Recruiter of the Year and national Top 25 recruiter, arrived in Columbus after spending three years as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Iowa State.

At Iowa State, Herman’s well-balanced offense was very evident as Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud ended his career as the Cyclones No. 2 all-time leading passer with 6,777 yards and 42 touchdown passes ,while running back Alexander Robinson finished his Iowa State career as the Cyclones’ fourth all-time leading rusher with 3,309 yards.

Herman spent 2007 and 2008 as offensive coordinator at Rice before heading to Iowa State. During his two seasons with the Owls, his offenses broke over 40 school records and, in his second season, the Owls won 10 games and went to a bowl for the first time since 1954.

Prior to Rice, Herman directed offensive attacks for two years (2005-06) at Texas State, where Bobcat squads led the Southland Conference in total offense. Herman also worked four years as an assistant coach at Sam Houston State, help-ing them to a pair of conference titles and trips to the FCS semifinals and quarterfinals.

Herman received Big 12 experience at Texas (1999-2000) serving as a graduate assistant with the offensive line on the Longhorns’ Cotton and Holiday Bowl teams, after receiving his coach-ing start in 1998 as a wide receivers coach at Texas Lutheran.

STORYLINESMemphis takes a seven-game winning streak into the 2015 season. Only Ohio State, Boise State and TCU have longer active winning streaks entering the season.

Memphis coach Justin Fuente was one of eight finalists for the Eddie Robinson Award as the national coach of the year after he led the Tigers to a share of the American Athletic Conference title in 2014.

Memphis’ conference title was the Tigers’ first since the 1971 season.

OFFENSEThe Tigers scored 471 points in 2014, shattering the old school record of 430 points, set in 2004.

QB Paxton Lynch threw 22 touchdown passes and added 13 rushing TDs as a sophomore in 2014. Lynch earned second-team all-conference honors.

The Tigers should expect a boost from the return of RB Doroland Dorceus, who averaged 5.2 yards per cary and had four rushing touchdowns in four games before suffering a season-ending injury.

The Tigers return four starters on the offensive line, as well as first-team all-conference TE Alan Cross.

DEFENSEMemphis was ranked 11th nationally in scoring defense (19.5 ppg) in 2014, but the Tigers return only three starters from that unit.

LB Jackson Dillon is the top returning tackler. Jackson had 43 stops with nine tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 2014.

S Reggis Ball is the lone returning starter in the secondary, though the Tigers do have a number of players who saw regular action there last season.

DE Ernest Suttles emerged as a starter on the defensive line as a freshman and will be the most seasoned of the Tigers’ down linemen in 2015.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Jake Elliott is one of the nation’s top kickers and was an all-conference first team selection last season. Elliott, who led The American in scoring (9.2 ppg), hit 21 of 32 field goal attempts and was 15-for-16 from inside 40 yards. Elliott hit a season-long 54-yard field goal in overtime in the Miami Beach Bowl win against Brigham Young.

P Spencer Smith stepped in as the regular punter last season and averaged 40.3 yards per punt. Smith helped the Tigers finish third in The American in net punting.

With confetti swirling, the University of Memphis football program savored an American Athletic Conference champion-ship to close out the 2014 regular season. Weeks later, the Tigers were back on a podium and celebrating another champi-onship as Memphis defeated BYU 55-48 in double overtime to win the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl.

Memphis’ first conference title in more than 40 years along with the come-from-behind bowl victory are certainly mile markers on the road the Tigers are travel-ing under Justin Fuente who begins his fourth season as head coach in 2015.

Unquestionably, the Tigers have made momentous strides in Fuente’s first three seasons. He inherited a program which had won just five combined games (2009-11) in the three years prior to his arrival.

When he was named the University’s 23rd head football coach on Dec. 8, 2011, Fuente was not only charged with rebuilding Memphis’ foot-ball program but simultaneously having over-sight in the program’s step up in competition. In his second year, the Tigers began play in the American Athletic Conference.

The year following the transition to The American, Memphis celebrated a conference title inside Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. And then the Tigers celebrated again in Miami as the team won for the 10th time during the season and equaled a school record for victories which was established in 1938.

Fuente’s efforts in building the Memphis pro-gram did not go unnoticed. The Football Writers Association of America, in conjunction with the Allstate Sugar Bowl, named him one of eight finalists for the 2014 Eddie Robinson Award.

He was also named the American Athletic Conference’s 2014 Coach of the Year, a unani-mous choice of his peers. The Tennessee Sports Writers Association named him its College Football Coach of the Year.

Offensively, Memphis scored 471 points in 2014, shattering the old school record of 430 points set in 2004. Defensively, Memphis allowed just 19.5 points per game which ranked 11th in FBS Football.

With a seven-game winning streak to conclude the 2014 season, Memphis ended the year with the fourth-longest win streak in FBS Football. Only national champion Ohio State as well as New Year’s Six Bowl winner Boise State and TCU ended the year with longer win streaks.

Memphis closed out the 2014 season ranked in the top-25 of both the AP and USA Today/Amway Coaches Polls, a first for the program.

The University of Memphis’ seven-win gain from 2013 to 2014 was the third-best improve-ment for FBS Football programs in 2014. The improvement also represented the ninth-best improvement ever by an FBS team. Going from one league win to seven, the Tigers had a six-win improvement in league play alone.

Fuente previously served five seasons on Gary Patterson’s staff at TCU from 2007-11. Fuente joined the TCU football coaching staff in February of 2007 as running backs coach and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in February of 2009. As part of his promotion, he moved to coaching the Horned Frogs quarter-backs.

A native of Tulsa, Okla., the dynamic play-call-er helped guide TCU’s program to consecutive BCS bowl game appearances with a 2011 Rose Bowl victory over No. 5-ranked Wisconsin that followed an appearance in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl.

In Fuente’s three seasons as offensive coor-dinator, TCU set single-season school records for touchdowns, points scored and first downs, while also ranking among the nation’s most productive offensive units. From 2009-11, the Horned Frogs won 36 of 39 contests, including a 24-game win streak in the Mountain West Conference (MWC).

Fuente made the move to TCU after spending six seasons as quarterbacks coach at Illinois State.

As a college quarterback, Fuente played two seasons (1996-97) at Oklahoma under then-Sooners offensive coordinator Dick Winder.

Fuente set an Oklahoma freshman record with 11 touchdown passes. He transferred to Murray State for his final two years of eligibility, where he was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award.

STORYLINESNavy joins the American Athletic Conference this season after playing as an independent for the previous 134 seasons.

Navy went 8-5 last season, marking the 11th time in 12 years that the Midshipmen finished with at least eight wins. Navy has made 10 bowl appearances in the last 11 years.

Navy led the nation in fewest penalties per game in 2014 (2.54). It was the fourth time in the last six years that Navy was the nation’s least-penalized team.

OFFENSEQB Keenan Reynolds enters his senior year with 64 career rushing touchdowns, which is tied for fourth in NCAA history. The NCAA record is 77 (Monte Ball, Wisconsin). Reynolds rushed for 1,191 yards and 23 touchdowns last season.

Navy ranked second nationally in rushing of-fense in 2014, averaging 325.4 yards per game.

The Midshipmen return four starters from last year on offense —two from the offensive line. OG EK Binns and OT Joey Gaston are seniors who have significant starting experience.

Navy uses a number of players at slotback and fullback. FB Chris Swain rushed for 693 yards and four TDs a year ago.

DEFENSEThe Midshipmen return six defensive starters from last season, with particular depth on the line and in the secondary.

NG Bernard Sarra finished last season with 38 tackles and three blocked kicks, tied for the most in the nation. Sarra has started 22 games in his first three seasons.

DE Will Anthoy led the team with 11 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.

LB Daniel Gonzales finished last season with 86 tackles and a team-high three interceptions.

CB Quincy Adams was third on the team in tackles (75), while CB Brendon Clements was fifth (58).

SPECIAL TEAMSK Austin Grebe took over as the regular kicker midway through last season was went 6-for-6 on field goal attempts and 33-for-33 on PATs. Grebe hit the game-winning field goal with 1:27 left to give the Midshipmen the win against San Diego State in last year’s Poinsettia Bowl.

The Midshipmen will go with a new punter in 2014. P Gavin Jernigan is the favorite to handle the chores as a senior.

NAVY

In his seven seasons at the helm of the Navy football program, and in his 17 years overall at the Naval Academy, head coach Ken Niumatalolo continues to engineer a program that has hit on all cylinders since he took over the reins at the end of the 2007 campaign. He has repeatedly guided the Midshipmen to success both on and off the gridiron. Included in his accom-plishments are a number of milestones never before achieved by a coach or team in the program’s 132-year history.

Niumatalolo (57-35, .620) is the all-time winningest coach in school history, pass-ing George Welsh when Navy defeat-ed Army for a record 13th-consecutive time. The victory over Army also made Niumatalolo the first coach in the history of the Army-Navy game to start his coach-ing career 7-0 against the other Academy.

Those two achievements go at the top of a long list of achievements by Niumatalolo. He led Navy to a 10-win season in 2009, which tied for the most wins in school history, he is the first coach in program history to lead Navy to a bowl game in each of his first three seasons and he is also the first Service Academy coach to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy in his first two years as a head coach. In 2013, Niumatalolo was selected to the inaugural class of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame and was inducted on January 23 in Honolulu.

He is just the second coach since World War II to lead Navy to a winning record in each of his first three seasons at the helm and joins Eddie Erdelatz and Wayne Hardin as the only Navy coaches to beat Notre Dame in consecutive seasons.

Navy has won at least nine games five times in the last 11 years. Before the current streak, Navy had won nine or more games just five times in the previous 77 seasons.

Navy finished the 2014 campaign with an 8-5 record, qualified for a bowl game for the 11th time in the last 12 years, won a bowl game for just the ninth time in school history (beat San Diego State, 17-16, in the Poinsettia Bowl), won a bowl game in back-to-back years for the second time in school history and defeated Army for a series-record 13th consecutive year.

Navy finished the 2013 season with a 9-4 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the ninth time in the last 11 years, qualified for a bowl game for the 10th time in the last 11 years, won a bowl game for just the eighth time in school history (beat Middle Tennessee, 24-6, in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl) and defeated Army for a series-record 12th consecu-

tive year. The 2013 squad is just the fifth in Navy history to win at least nine games in a season, beat Army and win a bowl game. The 1957, 1978, 2004 and 2009 teams are the only other teams to have achieved that feat.

The 2009 season was one to remember for the Midshipmen, as Navy tied a school record for wins with 10, won a school-record sev-enth consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a seventh consecutive bowl game, beat Notre Dame in South Bend for the sec-ond straight time and ran their winning streak against the other two service academies to an amazing 15 straight games. The Mids capped the season off with a 35-13 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl.

Niumatalolo, 49, was promoted to head football coach at the Naval Academy on Dec. 8, 2007, by Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.

He is the second Polynesian head coach in Football Bowl Subdivision history and the first Samoan collegiate head coach on any level.

Niumatalolo was also an assistant at Navy from 1995-98, serving as the offensive coordina-tor in 1997 and 1998.

Niumatalolo coached at UNLV for three sea-sons (1999-01) and called the plays his final year (2001) in Vegas. He also worked with the kick-off return unit and, under his guidance, UNLV ranked sixth in the nation in kickoff returns in 2001 and finished second in 1999.

A 1989 graduate of Hawaii, Niumatalolo let-tered three years as a quarterback and was a part of Hawaii’s first bowl team in 1989. He was hired as a full-time assistant by his alma mater in 1992 and spent three seasons coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

SMU

STORYLINESSMU had played in a bowl game in four consecu-tive years between 2009-12, but have gone back-to-back years without reaching the postseason.

First-year head coach Chad Morris, a native of Dallas, returns to his hometown after a highly successful stint as Clemson’s offensive coordi-nator. Morris amassed a 169-38 record as a high school coach in the state of Texas.

SMU’s nonconference schedule includes two games against teams ranked in the top seven of last year’s final poll (No. 3 TCU, No. 7 Baylor).

SMU’s first six games of the season are in the state of Texas.

OFFENSESMU used four different starting quarterbacks during the course of last season. QB Matt Davis, a transfer from Texas A&M, started the last five games of the year and finished as the Mustangs’ leading passer and rusher.

WR Darius Joseph looks to regain his form of 2013, when he ranked second in the American Athletic Conference with 108 receptions. Joseph and WR Deion Sanders Jr. are both returning starters from a year ago.

C Taylor Lasecki — who was named to the Rim-ington Trophy watch list for the second straight year —leads an offensive line that has all five starters returning.

DEFENSESMU returns seven defensive starters from last year. The Mustangs have three starters back in the secondary and three on the defensive line.

DE Zach Wood led the Mustangs with four sacks and had six tackles for loss and a fumble recovery last season. He joins DE Robert Seals to comprise a senior-laden tandem up front.

CB Horace Richardson had a team-high two interceptions, while S Darrion Richardson had 69 tackles with a forced fumble, a sack and an interception to lead the secondary.

LB Jonathan Yenga is the only returning starter at linebacker. Yenga had 65 tackles with two sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss last season..

SPECIAL TEAMSP Jackson Koonce averaged 40.8 yards on 74 punts as a freshman last season.

Deion Sanders Jr. was a first-team all-confer-ence selection as a return specalist. Sanders was third in The American in all-purpose yards (105.2 ypg) and averaged 20.5 yards on kickoff returns.

The Mustangs will likely turn to an incoming freshman for the regular placekicker duties.

SMU

Chad Morris was named the head foot-ball coach at SMU on Dec. 1, 2014. Morris arrived on the Hilltop after five seasons as an offensive coordinator on the collegiate level and 16 seasons as a Texas high school coach.

For the previous four seasons, Morris has served as offensive coordinator at Clemson, helping the Tigers to a 41-11 record, the 2011 ACC championship and four bowl berths, including two Orange Bowl appearances.

Clemson also posted three final top-25 rankings, including a top-10 finish in the final USA Today polls in 2012 and 2013. At the time of his departure, the Tigers were-ranked 19th in the 2014 AP and USA Today polls. Clemson established 127 offensive records during his four years (89 individu-al/38 team) and posted the top three scor-ing seasons in school history, as well as four of the top five passing seasons in Clemson history.

For his work, Morris was named AFCA National Assistant Coach of the Year and one of five final-ists for National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by 247Sports.com in 2013, and the National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com in 2011.

Among the players Morris tutored at Clemson were 2012 first-team All-American quarterback and ACC Player of the Year Tajh Boyd, 2012 first-team All-American center Dalton Freeman, 2012 third-team All-American wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and 2013 first-team All-American wide receiver and Biletnikoff Award finalist Sammy Watkins as well as NFLers Dwayne Allen of the Indianapolis Colts, Jaron Brown and Andre Ellington of the Arizona Cardinals, Martavis Bryant of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tyler Shatley of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Brandon Thomas of the San Francisco 49ers.

Clemson’s 2012 team set school records for total offense per game (512.7) and points per game (41.0), ranking sixth in the nation in scor-ing and ninth in the nation in total offense, and the 2013 offense averaged 507.7 yards and 40.2 points per game. Clemson and Baylor were the only FBS schools with a 3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and 1,000-yard receiver every year from 2011-13.

Morris went to Clemson after one season as associate head coach/offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Tulsa. After his arrival, Tulsa improved from 5-7 in 2009 to 10-3 in 2010, averaging 41.4 points per game, eighth-most in the nation, and scoring at least 28 points in 12 of its 13 games. Tulsa was fifth nationally in first downs (25.6) and tied for fifth in touchdowns

scored from the red zone (46). His offense scored 64 touchdowns on scrimmage plays (32 rushing, 32 passing) and totaled 1,006 plays (537 rushes, 469 passes).

Prior to his stint at Tulsa, Morris served as a head coach on the Texas prep level for 16 years, coaching at Eustace Independent School District (1994-97), Elysian Field ISD (1998-99), Bay City ISD (2000-02), Stephenville ISD (2004-07) and Lake Travis ISD (2008-09).

Morris is a legend in the state after posting a 169-38 record overall and winning back-to-back undefeated state championships in his final two seasons as a prep coach. In all, Morris took six of his teams to Texas State Championship Games, with three of those teams capturing state titles, and earned Coach of the Year honors 11 times.

Morris’ offenses enjoyed tremendous success in his two seasons at Lake Travis. In 2008, the Cavaliers averaged 49.0 points per game and had a 41-point margin of victory, while scoring 784 points, the fourth-most in Texas football his-tory, and throwing for 305 yards per game.

In that same 2008 campaign, Morris coached former Mustang great Garrett Gilbert, who was named the Gatorade and Parade Magazine National Player of the Year, while setting the state of Texas’ single-season passing yard-age mark with 4,884 yards and 55 touchdowns. Gilbert also rushed for 790 yards and 28 TDs that season.

Morris earned a bachelor’s degree in math-ematics with a minor in statistics from Texas A&M University in 1992.

TULANE

STORYLINESTulane fielded one of the youngest teams in col-lege football last season. The Green Wave has 34 sophomores on its roster this year.

Head coach Curtis Johnson has won a Super Bowl title (in 2009 with the New Orleans Saints) and a BCS National Championship (in 2001 with Miami) as an assistant coach.

Tulane, which won seven games in 2013, looks to bounce back from last year’s 3-9 campaign.

OFFENSETulane returns nine offensive starters from last season. The Green Wave has its starting quarterback and top three rushers back for 2015.

Tulane’s leading passer (QB Tanner Lee), rusher (RB Sherman Badie) and receiver (WR Teddy Veal) were all freshmen last season.

Badie rushed for 688 rushing yards and three touchdowns as the top man in a talented backfield.

Lee threw for 1,962 yards and 12 touchdowns as a rookie last season and should benefit from his year of experience.

OT Arturo Uzdavinis, a six-foot-seven, 307-pound tackle, has made 25 starts the last two years and leads a veteran offensive line.

DEFENSECB Parry Nickerson, another impact player as a freshman last year, registered six interceptions in 2014 and was named to the USA Today Fresh-man All-America Team.

Nickerson joins S Darion Monroe to lead what should be one of the better defensive backfields in The American. Monroe had 73 tackles with two forced fumbles last year.

LB Nico Marley registered 13.5 tackles for loss, good for second in the American Athletic Con-ference, in 2014.

DE Royce LaFrance, who has started 24 games at defensive end, leads an experienced defensive line that has three returning starters. LaFrance had a team-high 5.5 sacks in 2014.

SPECIAL TEAMSP Peter Picereli is a senior who averaged 37.8 yards on 71 punts last season.

K Andrew DiRocco made eight field goals in 14 attempts as the Green Wave struggled to find consistency in the kicking game last season.

RB Dontrell Hilliard was the primary kickoff returner last season (15.3 ypr), while Teddy Veal handled punt returns (4.6 ypr).

TULANE

When Tulane Director of Athletics Rick Dickson began his national search for a young, up-and-coming candidate to become the Green Wave’s next head foot-ball coach in the fall of 2011, he didn’t have to look far. In fact, he didn’t have to go beyond the metro area. Dickson’s search ended at the doorstep of the NFL cham-pion New Orleans Saints.

Curtis Johnson, Jr. was tabbed as the 39th head football coach in school history Dec. 5, 2011. Johnson made the short trip to the Tulane campus after spending the previous six seasons (2006-2011) as the wide receivers coach for the New Orleans Saints.

A New Orleans native and graduate of St. Charles High School, Johnson has more than 25 years of coaching experience from both the collegiate and professional levels and was a part of an NFL Championship with the Saints and a Bowl Championship Series National Championship with the University of Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes in 2001.

When Johnson was named head coach, he stated during his introductory press conference that his priority for recruiting would be to recruit within the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana and create the “State of Tulane.” During his first signing day in 2012, he was able to ink 13 players from the state, including nine from the New Orleans area, and this past spring he signed 20 players from Louisiana and a total of 13 from New Orleans-area schools.

During his time with the Saints, he and his electrifying receiving corps helped the franchise to its first NFL title in 2009 and New Orleans made playoff appearances in four of his six sea-sons. The Saints were rewarded with outstand-ing results from his wide receiver group during his time with the storied franchise.

In five and a half seasons, Johnson worked with both veteran and young wide receivers, with each benefiting from his guidance and high-energy teaching style. Among the players who improved under his watch through their own dedication and his tutelage were Marques Colston, Devery Henderson, Robert Meachem, Joe Morgan and Lance Moore.

Johnson boasts a list of prominent pupils that very few coaches at any level can match. While specializing with wide receiver development, the group of standouts under his direction while at University of Miami (Fla.) and his prior stop at San Diego State includes some of the top wide receivers over the last decade, including NFL first-round picks Andre Johnson, Santana Moss, fellow New Orleans native Reggie Wayne and

Yatil Green.At Miami (Fla.), Johnson was part of a staff

that went to nine bowl games and won the 2001 National Championship. He polished the skills of at least one All-Big East performer each season from 1996-2005, including Johnson - the third overall pick by Houston in 2003 - and Moss, who became the Hurricanes’ all-time leader in receiving yardage before making the Pro Bowl for the Washington Redskins. Wayne departed ranked first in school history in catches and was a five-time Pro Bowl performer for the Indianapolis Colts.

In his five-year stint at San Diego State (1989-93) Johnson landed some of the school’s biggest recruits, including 2000 NFL MVP and fellow New Orleans native Marshall Faulk, who was recently inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, as well as wide receiver Darnay Scott, who completed his eight-year NFL career with 408 grabs and 37 touchdowns. Each year Johnson was with the Aztecs, the school had an all-conference performer at wide receiver.

Johnson began his coaching career as a receivers coach at Lewiston (Idaho) High School in 1984, serving for three seasons before holding a similar position at the University of Idaho.

A Texas native, Montgomery first began his association with Art Briles at Stephenville High School and has coached alongside Baylor’s head coach for 16 seasons. Montgomery moved with Briles to the University of Houston in 2003 and spent five years (2003-07) with the Cougars.

In his career, Montgomery has tutored sever-al award-winning quarterbacks, including Big 12 Player of the Year Bryce Petty, Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, Baylor All-American Nick Florence, Conference USA MVP Kevin Kolb and Houston standout Case Keenum.

Following Baylor’s record-breaking 2013 Big 12 championship season, Montgomery was hon-ored as the Offensive Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop.com and was named a finalist for the Broyles Award given to the nation’s top assistant. In 2011, Montgomery was named the National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com and was the Quarterback Coach of the Year by SpeedTracs/FootballScoop.com.

Montgomery has called plays for an offense ranked among the nation’s top two in each of the past four seasons. In 12 games this year, Baylor’s 581.3 yards per game and 48.8 points lead the nation. The Bears led the nation in total offense in 2013 (618.8 ypg) and ranked second in both 2012 (572.2) and 2011 (587.1). Baylor’s passing attack has ranked among the top five in that same span - fifth in both 2014 (346.2 ypg) and 2013 (359.1) and fourth in both 2012 (340.5) and 2011 (351.5).

For three straight seasons, each with a dif-ferent quarterback, Montgomery’s pupils have earned All-America honors. In 2013, junior Petty joined the list after throwing for 4,200 yards and 32 TDs. Petty finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting and was named the unanimous Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

Under Montgomery’s guidance, Florence threw for a school-record 4,309 yards in 2012 and was named an honorable mention All-American by Sports Illustrated. As backfield coach in 2011 Montgomery coached two All-Americans -- in addition to mentoring RG3, the

most prolific quarterback in school history who set 54 school records, he also tutored future NFL draftee Terrance Ganaway, who set Baylor single-season records for rushing yards (1,566) and rushing TDs (21).

The Bears finished the 2011 season with a 10-3 record, including a memorable 67-56 Alamo Bowl win over Washington, and ranked 12th (coaches) and 13th (AP) in the final national polls. The 2011 Baylor offense set or tied 101 offensive school records.

Montgomery came to Baylor after five seasons coaching the backfield at Houston, the final year (2007) also serving as co-offensive coordinator. During his time at Houston, the Cougar offense ranked as one of the nation’s most prolific. In the 2007 regular season, Houston ranked fourth nationally in total offense (513.1 ypg), 10th in rushing offense (239.9 ypg), 17th in scoring offense (36.3 ppg) and 27th in passing offense (273.2 ypg).

Prior to joining the Cougars’ coaching staff, Montgomery served one year as the offensive coordinator at Denton (Texas) High School and helped that team compile a 10-2 record and the 2002 bi-district crown. Before that, Montgomery spent six seasons as the quarterbacks and backfield coach at Stephenville High School, where he was part of Briles’ program that won back-to-back 4A Division II state championships in 1998 and 1999.

A four-year letterman at Tarleton State, Montgomery began his coaching career as a student assistant at his alma mater working with the running backs and serving as the summer weight room coordinator for two seasons.

Montgomery received his bachelor’s degree in exercise and sports studies from Tarleton in 1995.
