THE AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are pro-vided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence.

With roots that extend to three conferences,

the American Athletic Conference member-ship in 2013 – its debut season – consists of 10 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Louisville, the University of Memphis, Rutgers University, Southern Methodist University, the University of South Florida and Temple University.

In 2014-15, East Carolina University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa come aboard. The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only.

The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, will immediately take a place at the forefront of Division I athlet-ics, with schools that have played in a combined five Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won eight NCAA women’s basketball champion-ships since 1995.

Among the league’s 2013 members, seven of The American’s 10 football teams have been ranked in the top 13 in the BCS since 2006. Eight of the 10 teams have been in the BCS top 25 in that span. The 2013-14 membership will also include the most recent NCAA men’s basketball (Louisville) and women’s basketball (UConn) champions.

The 2013 season will mark the final year of a six-year arrangement with ESPN that gives The American national exposure on ABC televi-sion and the ESPN family of networks. ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC will carry a minimum of 19 American home football games each season. Championship Week in December includes three American games on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. At least four American games are featured on ESPN’s Thursday-night package.

In addition, ESPN Regional Television will continue to produce and distribute its Game of the Week package to a nationally syndicated audience, reaching more than 30 million homes. Most of these games also will be available as part of the ESPN GamePlan subscription ser-vice. Finally, a minimum of five home games will be carried on ESPNU.

Following the 2013 football season, the American Athletic Conference enters new tele-vision partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports

which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-con-trolled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.

In men’s basketball, the new television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slot-ted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postsea-son tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be either on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3.

American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college foot-ball’s postseason structure, both in the coming season and beyond. In 2013-14, the league champion will receive an automatic bid for the final edition of the Bowl Championship Series, including a spot in the VIZIO National Championship Game if it is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the final BCS standings. Moving forward, The American champion would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champi-ons of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

The American has additional partnerships with a number of bowl games that match confer-ence teams against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Southeastern Conference and Conference USA.

The Russell Athletic Bowl has the first selec-

tion of American teams after the conference’s BCS representative is determined. The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition for the Russell Athletic Bowl, which is played in Orlando, Fla.

The American also is a partner with the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. Played in Bank of America Stadium, the Belk Bowl will select its American Athletic Conference participant after the Russell Athletic Bowl with the ACC again providing the opponent.

The American and the Big 12 conferences partner for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York City. In the event that the Big 12 is unable to send an eligible team to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Notre Dame could step in as the American team’s opponent.

An American representative will face either an opponent from the Southeastern Conference or the Conference USA champion as part of arrangements with the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis.

The league also holds a partnership with the Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl pairs the American representative against an oppo-nent from Conference USA.

The postseason lineup gives American Athletic Conference teams access to at least six postseason games.

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

The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video production studio and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accom-modate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.


CONFERENCE STAFF

Mike Aresco, one of the most influential lead-ers in sports television and collegiate sports, was named Commissioner of the Big East Conference on August 14, 2012, and has over-seen the successful rebranding of the league as the American Athletic Conference.

In his first year as commissioner, Aresco has overseen a strategic reinvention of the Conference which will keep The American at the forefront of Division I college athletics. By the 2015-16 academic year, the American Athletic Conference will include 11 all-sports members and Navy as a football-playing mem-ber. The Conference will launch a football championship game for the first time in 2015 and is the first league to explore staging its own postseason bowl game.

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.

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, who were referred to unofficially as the Catholic 7.

He simultaneously led the negotiations that resulted in television contracts with ESPN and CBS Sports, which will give the American Athletic Conference unprecedented national exposure with the two industry leaders in sports television.

Aresco then quickly and successfully orga-nized the process whereby the conference was renamed the American Athletic Conference – a name that was immediately accepted in the college landscape – and he also oversaw the process that resulted in the new conference’s popular graphic identity.

He has also successfully 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 cohesiveness that is unprecedented in the league’s history. 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

was the spearheading of expansion efforts, which resulted in the addition of Tulane University and the University of Tulsa and the transition to membership in all sports for East Carolina University, which was originally admit-ted to the league for football only; the planning for a conference digital network; successful negotiations for the 2014 men’s and women’s basketball championships at FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn., and Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., respectively; and the launch-ing of a brand marketing campaign. He is cur-rently working on the conference’s future bowl lineup.

Aresco came to the conference from CBS Sports where he was Executive Vice President, Programming. He was responsible for all col-lege sports programming for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network. Aresco oversaw the acquisition and management 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 cham-pionship. Aresco also was instrumental in the CBS Television Network’s groundbreaking 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 mul-

tiple new media rights for CBS, CBS Sports Network and CBS Interactive. He forged numerous basketball agreements with major conferences, including the Big East, ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12. Aresco recently negoti-ated 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, the criti-cally- acclaimed college football show, as well as Courtside with Seth Davis, a highly-regarded weekly show devoted to college basketball, both of which air 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 col-lege basketball. He is a charter member of the steering committee 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 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 10, 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 Law School (J.D.). He practiced law privately in Hartford, Conn., for several years.

Aresco and his wife, Sharon, have two adult sons, Matthew, an Emmy-nominated television producer who owns a production company in Connecticut, and Brett, an aspiring actor who lives in New York City.

THE BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

About the BCSThe 2013-14 season will be the 16th year for the BCS, which is a five-

game arrangement that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive match-ups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other bowl games. It enhances the importance of the regular season and maintains the bowl system for the benefit of the game. It has been undeniably suc-cessful in achieving those goals; college football has never been more popular, and the BCS is a significant reason for that. Additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls, more television exposure, and more postseason revenue than ever before.

The five bowl games are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Discover Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl Game Presented by VIZIO, the Allstate Sugar Bowl, and the 2014 VIZIO BCS National Championship Game, which will be played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

The BCS is an event managed by the 10 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision conferences, all of them “BCS Conferences,” and the inde-pendent institutions through a series of contracts among bowls and television networks. The conferences are the American Athletic, Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, Pacific, and Southeastern.

College Football Playoff Coming In 2014-15Beginning with the 2014-15 season, college football will enter a new

four-team playoff era. The format is simple: the best four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games and a championship game played in a different city each year. It’s the best of all worlds and the biggest innova-tion in the sport in decades.

BCS Automatic Qualifications 1. The top two teams in the final BCS Standings will play in the

National Championship Game.

2. The champions of the American Athletic, Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and Southeastern Conferences will have automatic berths in one of the participating bowls each year through the 2013 regular season.

3. The champion of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference or the Sun Belt Conference will earn an automatic berth in a BCS bowl game if either: a:) Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or b:) Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a confer-ence that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.

No more than one such team from Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, and the Sun Belt Conference shall earn an automatic berth in any year. (Note: A second team could be eligible for at-large selection.) If two or more teams from those conferences satisfy the provisions for an automatic berth, then the team with the highest finish in the final BCS Standings will receive the automatic berth, and the remaining team or teams will be in the pool of teams eligible for selection by the bowls as at-large teams.

4. Notre Dame will have an automatic berth if it is in the top eight of the final BCS Standings.

5. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 4, and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 3 in the final BCS Standings, that team will become an automatic qualifier, provided that no at-large team from the same conference qualifies for the National Championship Game.

6. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 5, and if no team qualifies under paragraph No. 5 and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 4 in the final BCS Standings, that team will become an automatic qualifier, provided that no at-large team from the same conference qualifies for the NCG.

BOWL PARTNERSHIPS

The LineupIn addition to the Bowl Championship Series, the American Athletic

Conference also has agreements with a number of other postseason bowl games. The conference’s current lineup, which began in the 2010 season, has The American paired against three of the other five automat-ic-qualifying Bowl Championship Series conferences in the postseason.

The American is in the final year of a four-year agreement with Florida Citrus Sports and the Russell Athletic Bowl to send a team to the Orlando, Fla., game.

The Russell Athletic Bowl will have the first selection from The American after the league’s BCS representative has been determined. The American Athletic Conference’s opponent in the Russell Athletic Bowl will be from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The American extended its agreement with the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C., through the 2013 season as well. The Belk Bowl will have the American’s third selection, after the BCS and Russell Athletic Bowl.

The conference has been aligned with the Belk Bowl since the incep-tion of the game in 2002. The game has averaged more than 62,000 fans and was named one of the five best startups in sports in the previous five years by Sports Business Journal.

The 2010 season featured the introduction of a new bowl game in New York City when the New Era Pinstripe Bowl was played at Yankee Stadium. The New Era Pinstripe Bowl pits the fourth overall selection from The American against a team from the Big 12 Conference. In the event that the Big 12 is unable to supply a team for the game, Notre Dame could step in as the opponent of The American’s representative.

The American also has longstanding deals with the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla. The conference additionally has an agreement with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. The American will send teams to two of those three games in the 2013 season.

The BBVA Compass Bowl pairs an American Athletic Conference team against an opponent from the Southeastern Conference at Legion Field in Birmingham.

If an American team is chosen for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, the con-ference’s representative would face either the Conference USA cham-pion or an opponent from the Southeastern Conference.

The Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl will be played for the fifth time in 2013. The American representative will face a Conference USA opponent at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.

The Russell Athletic Bowl is played at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla.

OFFICIATING STANDARDS

The American Athletic Conference Officiating Performance Standards are a foundation upon which evaluations for officials, including instant replay, are based. As part of this comprehensive program, the overall evaluation system has three main functions — in order of importance — training, preparation and performance review.

In addition to an expectation of a high level of accuracy, there are two general areas in which all officials must perform. They must function effectively within a crew and they must function effectively as an individual. Expectations in both areas are clearly defined in these standards by identifying the core performance criteria within each category.

CREW STANDARDSON-FIELD CREW OFFICIATING1. Game Flow and Control• Crewmembersworktogethertoensuretheirgame

INDIVIDUAL STANDARDS


INSTANT REPLAY

THE OBJECTIVEThe American Athletic Conference instant replay system is a process whereby video review is used to confirm, reverse or let stand certain on-field decisions made by game officials, and is designed to allow for specific types of officiating calls to be immediately reviewed and corrected during all Conference and nonconference home games.

THE STANDARDThe instant replay process operates under the fun-damental assumption that the ruling on the field is correct. The replay official may reverse a ruling if, and only if, the video evidence convinces him beyond all doubt that the ruling was incorrect. Without such indisputable video evidence, the replay official must allow the ruling to stand. The replay system will not guarantee that all officiating mistakes are corrected.

THE SOURCEDuring televised games, all reviewable video will come directly from the television network broadcast-ing the game (ABC Sports, ESPN, ESPN2, ERT, etc.). In non-televised games, all reviewable video will come directly from four in-house video cameras. The review process will never use both television and in-house cameras in any one game. The American Athletic Conference has upgraded its replay system to include high-definition-capture and playback-to-HD monitors.

THE PROCESSThe American Athletic Conference instant replay system is not the NFL model. A review can be trig-gered by the replay official in the press box, or the head coach on the field. The replay officials will have available to them the video coming directly from the television production truck by the network broadcast-ing the game or from four in-house video cameras. The DVSport HD Digital Replay System will be used for all reviews. Unlike the NFL, there is no limit to the number of plays that can be reviewed by the replay official. Coaches are limited to one challenge per game. If a coach’s challenge is successful, he retains the challenge, which he may use only once more during the game. Thus, a coach may have a total of two challenges if and only if his initial challenge is successful. After a review has been completed, if the on-field ruling is reversed, that team’s timeout will not be charged.

The coaching staff will have access to the live game feed in its respective coaching booth in order to pro-vide information to the head coach as to whether a play should be challenged.

THE PLAYSThe following plays are subject to review under American Athletic Conference instant replay:

SCORING PLAYSARTICLE 1. Reviewable plays involving a potential score include:a. A potential touchdown or safety. [Exception: Safety

by penalty for fouls that are not specifically review-able.].

b. Field goal attempts if and only if the ball is ruled (a) below or above the crossbar or (b) inside or outside the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights. If the ball is higher than the top of the uprights as it crosses the end line, the play may not be reviewed.

PASSESARTICLE 2. Reviewable plays involving passes include:a. Pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted

anywhere in the field or play or an end zone.b. Forward pass touched by a player or an official.c. Forward pass or forward handing when a ball car-

rier is or has been beyond the neutral zone.d. A forward pass or forward handing after a change

of team possessione. Pass ruled forward or backward when thrown from

behind the neutral zone. 1. If the pass is ruled forward and is incomplete, the

play is reviewable only if there is clear recovery of a loose ball in the immediate continuing action after the loose ball. If the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which team recovers, the ruling of incomplete pass stands.

2. If the replay official reverses an incomplete forward pass ruling and the ball is recovered, it belongs to the recovering team at the spot of the recovery and any advance is nullified.

DEAD BALL AND LOOSE BALLARTICLE 3. Reviewable plays involving potential dead balls and loose balls include:a. Loose ball by a potential passer ruled a fumble.b. Loose ball by a passer ruled incomplete forward

pass when there is clear recovery in the immediate continuing action after the loose ball.

1. If the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which team recovers, the ruling of incomplete pass stands.

2. If the replay official rules fumble, the ball belongs to the recovering team at the spot of the recovery and any advance is nullified.

c. Live ball not ruled dead in possession of a ball carrier.

d. Loose ball ruled dead or live ball ruled dead in pos-session of a ball carrier when the clear recovery of a loose ball occurs in the immediate continuing action.

1. If the ball is ruled dead and the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which team recovers, the dead-ball ruling stands.

2. If the replay official rules that the ball was not dead, it belongs to the recovering team at the spot of the recovery and any advance is nullified.

UCF KNIGHTS


UCF

STORYLINESUCF won four Conference USA East Division titles in its eight years in the league, including the 2012 divisional title.

The Knights have won at least 10 games in two of the last three seasons, including last year’s 10-4 campaign.

Head coach George O’Leary has an all-time record of 112-88, including a 60-55 mark at UCF.

UCF began its football program in 1979, compet-ing at the NCAA Division III level. The Knights moved to Division II in 1982, became a Football Championship Subdvision program in 1990 and moved to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1996.

OFFENSEThe Knights return their starting quarterback, three starting linemen, their starting tight end, their second-leading rusher and five of their top six wide receivers from last year’s offense.

Six of the returning offensive players earned All-Conference USA honors last year.

QB Blake Bortles was named to the preseason watch list for the Maxwell Award, which goes to the nation’s outstanding player. Bortles threw for 3,059 yards and 25 touchdowns last season.

Four returning receivers had least 25 catches, 380 yards and three touchdowns a year ago.

DEFENSETwo of the three players who registered 100 tackles last year — SS Clayton Geathers and LB Terrance Plummer — return for 2013.

The Knights led Conference USA in scoring defense (22.1 ppg) and pass defense (217.7 ypg) last year.

UCF has allowed 22.5 points per game or less in each of the last four seasons.

The Knights will need to replace the production of seven of their top 10 tacklers from last season. Geathers, Plummer and CB Brandon Alexander are the only three returning players who finished among the team’s top 10 last season.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Shawn Moffitt went 10-for-14 on field goal attempts and was 6-for-6 from inside 30 yards.

WR JJ Worton averaged 10.6 yards on 25 punt returns last year and is back to handle those duties once again.

Quarterback Blake Bortles


UCF

In his 10th year at UCF in 2013, 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, two conference championships, four division titles and trips to 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 head coach has molded his program into a consistent win-ner on and off of the field.

Before heading off to the American Athletic Conference for 2013, O’Leary and his Knights had work to do in Conference USA. And they made 2012 another memo-rable season. UCF went on to earn its fourth East Division title and post a 10-4 record, tying for the second-most victories in a single season. It culminated in a 38-17 thumping of Ball State in the 2012 Beef `O’ Brady’s Bowl.

O’Leary guided the 2010 Knights to the school’s first 11-win season, the C-USA championship and an AutoZone Liberty Bowl win over Georgia. The Knights earned their first-ever national rank-ings in 2010, finishing the year at No. 20 in the coaches poll and O’Leary was rewarded with the C-USA Coach of the Year award as voted on by his peers for the third time in six years.

The 2010 season surpassed even the 2007 year when O’Leary guided the Knights to what was then arguably the finest campaign in program history. UCF won 10 contests, claimed the C-USA Championship and participated in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in front of a nationally-televised audience on ESPN.

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.

O’Leary has experience coaching on the pro-fessional level and, as a result, has helped several Knights move on to the NFL. Ten Knights who played under O’Leary have been selected in the NFL Draft.

O’Leary was the head coach at Georgia Tech from 1994-2001 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 1995-2001, Georgia Tech recorded five winning 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.

One trademark of O’Leary’s tenure as a head coach has been the quality of his coaching staffs. He has had five assistants later garner head coaching jobs: Ralph Friedgen (Maryland), Randy Edsall (Connecticut), Ted Roof (Duke) and Bill O’Brien (Penn State) at Georgia Tech and Brian Polian (Nevada) at UCF. Both Friedgen and Edsall have led schools to BCS conference titles.

Prior to coming to UCF, O’Leary served on Minnesota’s NFL coaching staff for two seasons. In 2003, he was the Vikings’ defensive coordina-tor. O’Leary served as the defensive line coach for San Diego from 1992-93.

O’Leary had the first of two stints at Georgia Tech from 1987-91. He served as the defen-sive coordinator/defensive line coach. The team finished 11-0-1 in 1990 and won the national championship, defeating Nebraska in the Florida Citrus Bowl.

A Long Island native, O’Leary received his first coaching job at the collegiate level at Syracuse (1980-86). He coached the defensive line and was the assistant head coach his final two seasons.

O’Leary was born in Central Islip, N.Y., and attended Central Islip High School. He attended the University of New Hampshire.

CINCINNATI

STORYLINESCincinnati has won four conference champion-ships in the last five years, including a share of last year’s Big East title.

Tommy Tuberville, who holds a 130-77 career record in 17 seasons as a head coach, enters his first year on the Cincinnati sideline. Tuberville had been head coach at Texas Tech for the past three seasons.

The Bearcats have enjoyed back-to-back 10-3 seasons. Cincinnati has won at least 10 games in five of the last six years.

Cincinnati has won its last two bowl games — a 48-34 decision against Duke in last year’s Belk Bowl and a 31-24 victory against Vanderbilt in the 2011 AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

OFFENSEThe Bearcats return both players who started at quarterback last season. QB Brendon Kay started the last five games, going 4-1 and leading the Bearcats to a win against Duke in the Belk Bowl. QB Munchie Legaux, who started the first eight games, also returns.

Cincinnati has a veteran offensive line, anchored by OT Eric Lefeld and OG Austen Bujnoch, who both earned All-Big East First Team honors in 2012.

Cincinnati will look to offset the loss of 1,300-yard rusher George Winn, who scored 13 rushing touchdowns. RB Ralph David Abernathy IV, who had a team-high 1,508 all-purpose yards in 2012, could see an increased workload in the backfield.

DEFENSELB Greg Blair, who had a team-high 138 tackles last season, earned All-Big East First Team hon-ors. He enters 2013 as a legitimate All-America candidate.

DT Mitch Meador and NT Jordan Stepp retrurn to anchor the interior defensive line.

The returing starters in the defensive backfield are CB Deven Drane, who had two intercep-tions last year, and FS Arryn Chenault, who had three picks.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Tony Miliano was named to the preseason watch list for the Lou Groza Award as the nation’s top kicker. Miliano connected on 77 percent of his field goal attempts last year (17-for-22).

Abernathy averaged 25.0 yards on kickoff returns, while WR Anthony McClung handled most of the duties on punt returns, averaging 9.9 yards per attempt.

CINCINNATI

Tommy Tuberville, a 17-year head coaching veteran 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 the col-legiate game, comes to Cincinnati after three years at Texas Tech.

In three seasons in Lubbock, Tuberville led the Red Raiders to a 20-17 mark and a pair of bowl appearances. In 17 seasons as a head coach, he holds a 130-77 career record.

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 guided the program back to the top of the league standings, leading 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 con-secutive bowl appearances, including five New Year’s Day bowl berths and three consecutive 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 looks to bounce back from consecutive 5-7 seasons as coach Paul Pasqualoni enters his third year on the sidelines.

Pasqualoni has won 151 career games in 21 years as a collegiate head coach. He has more wins than any American Athletic Conference head coach.

The Huskies play four of their first five games at home and close the year with back-to-back dates at Rentschler Field.

OFFENSEUConn returns its starting quarterback, running back and its top receiver from last year’s team. The Huskies also bring back four of their five starters on the offensive line.

QB Chandler Whitmer threw for at least 200 yards in five of the Huskies’ final six games last year. Whitmer finished the year with 2,664 passing yards, but had a Big East-leading 16 interceptions.

RB Lyle McCombs enters his third year as the Huskies’ starting tailback. McCombs has rushed for 2,011 yards in his two-year career.

No returning player had more than one touch-down reception last season. WR Geremy Davis led the team with 613 yards on 44 receptions in 2012.

DEFENSELB Yawin Smallwood, who finished third in the Big East with 120 tackles last year, earned All-Big East First Team honors as a sophomore.

The Huskies have five starters back from a unit that led the Big East in total defense last season.

UConn will need to replace a pair of defensive backs who were drafted by NFL teams. CB Byron Jones and S Ty-Meer Brown return as starters in the secondary.

A veteran defensive line will be anchored by DT Shamar Stephen, DE Angelo Pruitt and DE Jesse Joseph.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Chad Christen stepped in to make 14 of 21 field goal attempts in his first year as the starter. Christen was 12-for-14 from inside 40 yards.

P Cole Wagner averaged 40.5 yards per punt in 2012, good for fifth in the Big East.

UCONN

Paul Pasqualoni became the 28th head football coach at the University of Connecticut Jan. 14, 2011.

Before taking the UConn position, Pasqualoni had been coaching in the National Football League as a member of the Dallas Cowboys staff (2005-07 and 2010) and the Miami Dolphins (2008-09).

Pasqualoni worked with the tight ends (2005) and linebackers (2006-07) in Dallas. The Cowboys won the NFC East in 2007 and were a Wild Card playoff team in 2006. In 2007, the Cowboys’ defense limited opponents to 4.9 yards per play and were third in sacks. He rejoined the Cowboys staff in 2010 and became the defensive coordinator.

He served as defensive coordinator with the Dolphins and his defense allowed just 19.8 points per game in 2008 as the Dolphins won the AFC East Championship. His 2009 defense led the NFL in sacks per pass attempt.

Pasqualoni served as the head coach of Syracuse from 1991-2004 and led the Orange to nine bowl games. He was the head coach at Western Connecticut from 1982-86 and led them to an NCAA Division II postseason appearance.

Pasqualoni concluded his 14-year tenure as Syracuse’s second-winningest coach with 107 victories. He guided his teams to four BIG EAST conference titles, including a share of one in 2004 - his final year at the school -- and had a 6-3 postseason record. Among those appearances, he led the Orange to two Fiesta Bowl appear-ances (1992 season and ‘97 season) and a trip to the Orange Bowl (1998 season), in the first year of the Bowl Championship Series. Syracuse also played in the 2004 Champs Sports Bowl, 2001 Insight.com Bowl, 1999 Music City Bowl, the 1996 Liberty Bowl, the 1996 Gator Bowl (1995 season) and the 1992 Hall of Fame Bowl (1991 season) during Pasqualoni’s tenure. His Orange teams won 10 games in three different seasons - 1991, 1992 and 2001.

He joined the Syracuse staff in 1987 and was an assistant coach there for four seasons before being named the head coach prior to the 1991 season.

Pasqualoni developed a solid contingent of professional players at Syracuse, including a string of 17 selections in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft as seven were first-round picks. The school produced at least two NFL draft selections in 11 of Pasqualoni’s 14 years as head coach.

During his tenure at Syracuse as an assis-tant and head coach, the Orange were recog-

nized with the AFCA Academic Achievement Honorable Mention Award for having a gradu-ation rate better than 70 percent a total of 14 times. They were honored during 10 of the 14 years Pasqualoni was head coach. In 1999, Syracuse won the American Football Coaches Association Academic Achievement Award for posting a 100 percent graduation rate for the class that enrolled in 1994.

Pasqualoni won the ECAC/Vince Lombardi Foundation Coach of the Year award in 1996 fol-lowing his second-straight 9-3 season. He was named the 1992 and 1995 ECAC Coach of the Year for Division I-A.

After finishing his undergraduate degree at Penn State, he spent four seasons as an assis-tant coach at his alma mater, Cheshire High School (1972-75).

His first collegiate job was as an assistant at Southern Connecticut in 1976 and was elevated to defensive coordinator in 1980. Pasqualoni had a five-year stint from 1982-86 as the head football coach and athletic director at NCAA Division III Western Connecticut State in Danbury, Conn. His teams posted a 28-13 record at Western and he led the school to an NCAA Division II playoff appearance in 1985.

A 1972 graduate of Penn State, Pasqualoni joined the football team as a walk-on and later lettered. He lettered in football and basketball at Cheshire High School in Connecticut and also earned a letter in football at Bordentown Military Institute in New Jersey.

Pasqualoni earned a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education at Penn State and a master of science in physical education and human performance at Southern Connecticut State.

HOUSTON

STORYLINESHouston finished with at least 10 wins in 2009 and 2011, but the Cougars look to bounce back from a 5-7 season in 2012.

The Cougars have 10 offensive starters returning from a unit that averaged 32.4 points and 480 yards per game in 2012.

Houston will play the majority of its home games at Reliant Stadium this season. The Cougars will open their new $105 million, on-campus stadium in 2014.

OFFENSEHouston has gained more offensive yards since 2006 (48,315) than any other team in FBS foot-ball. Oregon (44,707) and Oklahoma (44,702) are second and third since then.

QB David Piland, who has two years of start-ing experience, threw for 2,924 yards and 16 touchdowns with 12 interceptions last season.

The Cougars return 10 of their top 13 receivers from last season. WR Deontay Greenberry, who had 47 catches for 564 yards and three touchdowns in 2012, is the top returning wideout.

Houston ranked 15th nationally in total offense last season (479.6 ypg).

DEFENSEThe Cougar defense returns just five starters, with three returners in the secondary highlight-ing the group.

S Travon Stewart was a FWAA Freshman All-America choice in 2012 after he had 126 tackles as a rookie.

LB Derrick Mathews earned All-Conference USA Second Team honors last season after he had 126 tackles, six sacks and 17 tackles for loss.

CB Zach McMillian registered five interceptions last year and earned All-Conference USA Third Team honors.

SPECIAL TEAMSP Richie Leone is considered one of the nation’s top punters. He averaged 45.5 yards per punt and had 20 kicks of 50 or more yards on his way to All-Conference USA First Team honors.

The Cougars will need to find a new kicker fol-lowing the departure of 105-point scorer Matt Hogan.

Wide receiver Deontay Greenberry


HOUSTON

Tony Levine enters his second season as the head coach at the University of Houston Football.

Introduced as the 12th head coach in Houston history on Dec. 22, 2011, Levine made an emphatic national statement in his opening game as the UH head coach, belting No. 22 Penn State, 30-14, in the 2012 TicketCity Bowl to cap a memo-rable season filled with broken statistical records and milestone victories.

Levine took over at UH two weeks before that Jan. 2 bowl contest in Dallas and unveiled a prepared squad that held Penn State to just two scores and produced a Cotton Bowl Stadium record 532 yards of passing vs. the nation’s No. 4-ranked pass defense. The victory helped UH to a school-record 13th win (tops in the nation) and first January bowl victory since the 1979 campaign. In fact Levine led the Cougars to an end-of-season national ranking for the first time since 1990 and was the first UH head coach to open his career with a win vs. a nationally-ranked opponent since Harold Lahar in 1957.

While 2012 was Levine’s first full season as head coach, he is certainly no stranger to the Houston community. The former collegiate wide receiver has spent the previous four seasons before his promotion on the UH staff, including his final two as assistant head coach.

The 40-year old has spent 17 years in the coaching ranks, including stints at all levels of football, from a high school stop in his home state of Minnesota, to a two-year stop with the Carolina Panthers of the NFL.

The 2012 season saw 13 Houston players earn All-Conference USA honors and Trevon Stewart named to the FWAA Freshman All-American team. Three Houston players — D.J. Hayden (interceptions per game), Richie Leone (punt-ing average) and Phillip Steward (sacks) led the conference in their respective categories. Leone tied the Houston single-season record with a 45.5 punting average while Matt Hogan set the Conference USA career scoring record with 405 points.

Before coming to Houston, Levine spent two seasons with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, serv-ing as the assistant special teams and assis-tant strength and conditioning coach. While at Carolina, Levine coached one of the best specialist units in the NFL in kicker John Kasay, punter Jason Baker and long snapper Jason Kyle.

Prior to Carolina, Levine coached at Louisville, where he played an integral role in the Cardinals’ success for three seasons. During his stay in

Louisville, the Cardinals posted an impressive 29-8 overall record, including an 11-1 record and a No. 6 national ranking in 2004.

Levine began as director of football operations at Louisville in 2003, where he was respon-sible for the overall day-to-day operation of the school’s football program. In 2004 he was named special teams coordinator and outside lineback-ers coach and made an immediate impact on the field. Under Levine’s tutelage, the Cardinals ranked near the top in Conference USA in almost all special teams statistics, while Louisville’s defense finished 15th nationally in total defense.

As special teams coordinator at Louisiana Tech in 2002, Levine coached Josh Scobee, who earned All-WAC Second Team honors and was selected by Jacksonville in the 2004 NFL draft..

Levine spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons working as the offensive graduate assistant at Auburn, where he coached the tight ends and worked closely with special teams.

Prior to Auburn, Levine worked as an assistant coach at Texas State, assisting with the wide receivers in 1997 before coaching the tight ends in 1998 and 1999.

A walk-on at the University of Minnesota, Levine became a three-time letterwinner at wide receiver for the Gophers and was twice named to the Academic All-Big Ten Team.

In addition to earning a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in sports manage-ment from Minnesota, he also holds a master’s degree in physical education from Texas State and an educational specialist degree in adult education from Auburn. His playing resume also includes one season as a wide receiver for the Minnesota Fighting Pike of the Arena Football League.

LOUISVILLE

STORYLINESLouisville returns 19 players who started at least one game last season, including 12 defensive players who made at least one start.

The Cardinals shared the last two Big East titles and have been to three consecutive bowl games.

Louisville has won two Bowl Championship Series games since the 2006 season, taking the Discover Orange Bowl 24-13 against Wake Forest before claiming last year’s Allstate Sugar Bowl crown with a 33-23 win against Florida.

Louisville finished last season ranked No. 13 in both major national polls.

OFFENSEQB Teddy Bridgewater was unanimously chosen as the Big East Offensive Player of the Year as a sophomore in 2012. Bridgewater had six 300-yard passing games and two 400-yard games last year.

WR DeVante Parker averaged 18.6 yards per reception and had 13 catches for 20 yards or more in 2012.

RB Senorise Perry rushed for 705 yards and 11 touchdowns before going down with a knee injury. He returns in the backfield, along with RB Dominique Brown, who ran for 533 yards and four TDs in 2011, but missed all of last season due to a knee injury.

DEFENSELouisville boasts a pair of All-America candi-dates at safety. S Calvin Pryor and S Hakeem Smith both earned All-Big East Second Team honors last season.

The Cardinals return all three starting lineback-ers from last year. LB Preston Brown joined the two defensive backs on the All-Big East Second Team, while LB Keith Brown and LB James Bur-gess emerged as starters as freshmen.

DE Lorenzo Mauldin, who had 4.5 sacks, leads a defensive line that returns all four starters.

SPECIAL TEAMSK John Wallace enjoyed an excellent freshman season last year, making 16 of 21 field goal attempts. Wallace was 14-for-14 from inside 40 yards.

LOUISVILLE

A two-time Big East Coach of the Year, Charlie Strong has brought energy and enthusiasm back to the Cardinals’ football program with his ability to motivate, teach, and recruit at the highest level.

In three seasons at Louisville, Strong has guided the Cardinals to three straight bowl appearances, and the back-to-back Big East championships. He inherited a team that had won just 15 games in the three seasons before he was hired, and has turned seasons of 7-6, 7-6 and 11-2 in his three years at Louisville.

In 2012, the Cardinals went 11-2 over-all, 5-2 in Big East play and defeated No. 3-ranked Florida in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Louisville opened the season with nine wins for the first time in program history and finished the year ranked No. 13 in the final Associated Press and USA Today polls.

Louisville improved from 4-8 in 2009 to 7-6 records in 2010 and 2011, including bowl game appearances in the Beef `O’Brady’s Bowl in 2010 and the Belk Bowl last season.

After winning a combined two league games in 2008-09, Strong led the Cardinals to three Big East victories in 2010 and five in 2011.

Sitting at 2-4 after a loss to Cincinnati on Oct. 15, in which Louisville had a 16-7 lead at the half, the Cardinals rattled off wins in five of their last six games, including a victory over nation-ally ranked West Virginia. Louisville also won its last two games of the year on the road to win a share of the conference title and qualify for the Belk Bowl.

Since coming to Louisville, Strong also empha-sizes the importance of academics. His teams have had at least a 2.5 GPA in every semester that he has been the head coach and saw place-kicker Chris Philpott earn CoSIDA Academic All-District accolades.

The former long-time assistant coach with the Florida Gators became the 21st head coach at Louisville when he was officially introduced as the Cardinals’ head coach Dec. 9, 2009.

Strong coached in 20 bowl games as an assis-tant and won a pair of national titles at Florida. He helped the Gators to national titles in 2009, with a win over Oklahoma, and in 2007 with a victory over Ohio State.

He has also worked for three different head coaches who have won national champion-ships: former Florida coach Urban Meyer, South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier and former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz.

Prior to taking over at Louisville, Strong was considered one of the top defensive coordina-

tors in the nation after coaching the Gators from 2003-2009 and building some of the nation’s top defenses. He had four different tenures with the Gators from 2003-09; 1991-94 and 1988-89, and as a graduate assistant in 1983-84.

During his tenure at Florida, he coached 13 All-Americans, a National Defensive Player of the Year, a Jack Tatum Award winner, two SEC Defensive Freshmen of the Year, two Thorpe Award finalists, two Nagurski Trophy finalists and the 2008 Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year. He has developed seven first-round NFL Draft picks and 18 players that were selected in the third round or higher.

In his seven years at UF as defensive coordi-nator, the Gators intercepted 131 passes, the third-highest total in the nation and the most in the SEC during the last seven seasons.

A tenacious recruiter, Strong was named one of the nation’s top-25 best recruiters by Rivals.com for his part in inking the 2007 signing class that was ranked No. 1 by most outlets.

Since the 2003 season, Strong’s defensive units at Florida allowed an average of 17.6 points per game — which ranked ninth in the country over that span — forced a mind-boggling 193 turnovers and an average of 308.6 yards per contest.

From 1999-2002, Strong served as defensive coordinator at South Carolina, earning finalist honors for the Broyles Award in 2000. He guided the Gamecocks to a top-20 national ranking in total defense twice, while the 2000 squad ranked sixth in the country in scoring defense after yielding just 15.8 points per game.

Strong also spent four seasons at Notre Dame, overseeing the defensive line on a defense that registered a single-season school-record 41.5 sacks in 1997.

MEMPHIS

In his first season as coach of the Tigers, Justin Fuente laid the groundwork for a University of Memphis football program which will take a step up in competition during his second year, the team’s first in the American Athletic Conference.

While the Tigers posted their best fin-ish since 2008 and won more conference games than the previous three seasons combined, Fuente began building a foun-dation in the months preceding his rookie season.

The University of Memphis will head into the 2013 season on a three-game win streak, tied for the 16th longest current win streak in FBS football to start the year.

Memphis posted a 4-8 overall record and was 4-4 in league play in its final season as a member of Conference USA in 2012. The Tigers’ efforts last year did not go unrecognized. Athlon Sports’ College Football Preview Magazine had Fuente No. 5 in the publication’s ranking of new coaches from 2012, and heading into the 2013 season, also had him ranked No. 6 among coaches under 40.

The Tigers averaged 318.33 yards of total offense during the 2012 season. The season total represented a 44-yard improvement from the 2011 season. Memphis came close to doubling its rushing average, improving its rushing total to 151.75 yards per game in 2012. Memphis’ fourth-down efficiency percentage ranked among the Top 10 in FBS Football.

Defensively, Memphis led Conference USA in total defense in league games played in 2012, giving up just 331.6 yards per game. UM lowered its total yardage allowed in conference games from the previous season by 30 percent.

For the year, Memphis ranked 48th nationally in defense (383.58 yards per game). The Tigers made a 69-position improvement from the 2011 season. The UM defense ranked 36th nationally in quarterback sacks, more than doubling the number of sacks it had in 2012 (29) from the 2011 season (14).

The Tigers’ special teams also made striking improvements during Fuente’s first season.

Memphis ranked among the nation’s Top 20 in kickoff return yardage defense and punt return average. UM punter Tom Hornsey ranked 19th nationally in punting.

Fuente was named the 23rd head coach of the Tigers program on Dec. 8, 2011. He 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 quarterbacks.

A native of Tulsa, Okla., the dynamic play-caller helped guide TCU’s program to consecu-tive BCS bowl game appearances with a 2011 Rose Bowl victory over No. 5-ranked Wisconsin that followed an appearance in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. From 2008-10, TCU was the only program in the country that finished in the top-10 in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls all three campaigns.

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. His final three years saw him double as the Redbirds offensive coordinator. Under Fuente’s direction, Illinois State ranked in the top-10 nationally in total offense in 2005 and 2006. The Redbirds ranked eighth in 2006 with an average of 397.5 yards per game, after ranking fifth in both total offense (477.6 yards) and scor-ing (39.2 points) in 2005.

Fuente set 11 school records at Murray State, including total offense and passing yards in a game and season. In 1999, he was the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) Offensive Player of the Year and a Walter Payton Award finalist, given annually to the nation’s top player in Division I-AA. Fuente is a 1999 graduate of Murray State.

Following his collegiate career, Fuente played professionally with the Oklahoma Wranglers in the Arena League.

Kyle Flood was named the 29th head coach at the Birthplace of College Football Jan. 31, 2012. Flood, who served on Rutgers’ coaching staff for the previ-ous seven seasons, assumed the head coaching vacancy created after Greg Schiano resigned his position to become head coach of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Flood made an immediate impact on the Rutgers program as he led the school to its first Big East Championship in 2012. Flood ended the season being named the Big East Coach of the Year, an honor he shared with Louisville’s Charlie Strong.

Flood’s nine regular season victories were the most by any first-year coach in Rutgers history as eight players garnered All-Big East honors.

A highly respected figure in the coach-ing profession, Flood had served as assistant head coach of the program since 2008 and was been a key part in Rutgers’ six bowl appearanc-es over his seven-year tenure as an assistant in Piscataway. In addition to his four years as the assistant head coach, Flood had been in charge of the offensive line since coming to RU in 2005.

Known as an excellent tactician with strong recruiting ties, Flood has served on the coach-ing staff of the team with the nation’s longest active bowl winning streak at five games. While being part of a program producing victories at a rate unprecedented in Rutgers’ history, Flood has understood the value of academics for the Scarlet Knights. In 2010, Rutgers’ football program ranked first in the nation in Academic Progress Rate and in 2011 the team followed up with the nation’s No. 2 ranking.

During his time ‘On the Banks’, the Rutgers offensive line has consistently produced top-level talent, including several players who have gone on to the National Football League. Most recently, offensive tackle Anthony Davis became the highest player drafted in Rutgers history as the 11th overall pick in 2010.

Since arriving at Rutgers, Flood has coached 10 All-Big East first or second team selections on the offensive line, one All-American and two Freshman All-America honorees.

Flood has helped engineer some of the most potent offenses in Rutgers history – evident in a record-breaking 2007 season. The Scarlet Knights’ offensive line ranked second in the nation with just 10 sacks allowed in addition to an RU offense that became the first in NCAA history to have a 3,000-yard passer, 2,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season.

The Rutgers offense was ranked 18th nation-ally in total offense in 2007. The offensive line featured two of the top tackles in the nation in Pedro Sosa and Jeremy Zuttah. Both players earned All-Big East honors and were also invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, with Zuttah becoming a third-round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Flood added run game coordinator to his duties in 2007 and his offensive line helped pave the way for All-American running back Ray Rice, who rushed for a school and then-Big East record 2,012 yards that season. Rice went on to become one of the most-recognizable faces in the NFL en route to consecutive Pro Bowl appearances in 2010 and 2011.

Flood came to Rutgers after three seasons at the University of Delaware, where he helped the Blue Hens to a 30-11 record, including a 15-1 mark in 2003 en route to the NCAA FCS champi-onship and a share of the Atlantic 10 title in 2004. He also served as assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator during his stint.

Prior to his three seasons at Delaware, Flood was offensive line coach at Hofstra from 1997-2001. While at Hofstra, he helped the Pride earn berths in the NCAA FCS playoffs in 1997 and 1999-2001. The Pride were among the top offensive teams in the nation during his tenure, ranking second in total offense, fourth in passing and fifth in scoring in 2001.

Flood’s first college coaching position came in 1995-96 as offensive line coach at Long Island University-C.W. Post. While coaching at C.W. Post, he helped the team to the ECAC Division II Eastern title in 1996.

USF

STORYLINESWillie Taggart, who led Western Kentucky from a 20-game losing streak to the school’s first bowl appearance, makes his debut as USF’s head coach in 2013.

Taggart led Western Kentucky to a 12-2 stretch between 2011 and 2012, with the only losses coming to Alabama and LSU —each of which was ranked No. 1 at the time.

USF played in five straight bowl games between 2006 and 2010, but has missed the postseason in each of the last two years.

USF is 32-8 in nonconference games since the 2006 season.

OFFENSEUSF is the only team in the American Athletic Conference that does not return its starting quarterback from last year. The Bulls will look to either QB Bobby Eveld, QB Matt Floyd or QB Steven Bench — a transfer from Penn State — to take over for B.J. Daniels.

WR Andre Davis, who ranked sixth in the Big East in receptions (3.8 per game), is one of just three returning offensive players who started at least half of USF’s games last year.

The Bulls lost their three top rushers from last season. RB Marcus Shaw, who had 248 rushing yards, is the top returner in the backfield.

DEFENSEUSF should boast one of the better starting defensive line units in the American Athletic Conference. Senior DE Ryne Giddins will line up on one side, while DE Aaron Lynch —who was a Freshman All-America selection at Notre Dame in 2011 — mans the other side.

LB DeDe Lattimore was third on the team with 76 tackles last year and has been named to the preseason watch list for the Butkus Award.

The Bulls will need to improve a secondary that had just two defensive interceptions last year. USF returns both of its starting safeties from last year —S JaQuez Jenkins and S Mark Joyce.

SPECIAL TEAMSThe Bulls will rely on new kicking specialists this season after the departure of veteran kicker Maikon Bonani and punter Justin Brockhaus-Kann.

Shaw gained 245 yards on kickoff returns last year and could be pegged as the primary return specialist once again.

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.

SMU has gone 10-3 at home in the last two seasons. The Mustangs were 4-0 at home in conference games last season.

The Mustangs won three of their last four games in 2012, including a 43-10 win against Fresno State in the Hawaii Bowl.

Quarterback Garrett Gilbert


SMU

After five seasons at the helm of the SMU football program, June Jones has proven again that he is master architect in building and rebuilding football programs. After winning just two games in two sea-sons, the Jones’ Mustangs have won 30 games and three bowl championships over the past four years, reestablishing championship football on the Hilltop.

In 2008, Jones took over an SMU pro-gram that had not been to a bowl game in nearly a quarter century. Despite its rich tradition, SMU had struggled since the early 1980s and the days of the “Pony Express.”

Jones and the Mustangs changed all that in 2009, however, snapping a 25-year bowl drought, claiming a Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Championship, and earning a share of the Conference USA Western Division Championship. SMU finished the season with an 8-5 mark, the largest turnaround in the nation in 2009 (+7 wins). A winner of three National Coach of the Year Awards in his career, Jones was named Conference USA Coach of the Year by The Sporting News in 2009, marking the fourth Conference Coach of the Year Award for Jones in his 11 seasons as a head coach, and, follow-ing SMU’s 45-10 destruction of Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl, was also named Coach of the Bowl Season by College Football News.

The 2010 season featured another first, as SMU made its first appearance in the Conference USA Championship game, earning its second straight C-USA Western Division title. SMU also earned a bowl bid for the second straight sea-son, reaching the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. The 2011 season produced another eight wins and a BBVA Compass Bowl Championship as SMU thrashed Pitt, 28-6. Along the way, SMU beat rival TCU, giving the Mustangs and Jones the coveted Iron Skillet. The 2012 campaign concluded with another Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Championship, giving SMU three bowl crowns in four years.

Jones came to the Hilltop after nine years at Hawaii, where he took a downtrodden Warrior football program and built it into one of the most exciting and competitive squads in the country.

Jones led his Hawaii teams to 76 wins - the most by any Hawaii coach - two Western Athletic Conference Championships and six bowl-game appearances. In 1998, Hawaii suf-fered its first-ever winless season. The following year, the first under Jones, the Warriors went 9-4, marking the biggest turnaround in NCAA his-tory. He developed six All-Americans and pro-duced 17 NFL draft picks, with a school-record

five in 2007. In the five years before Jones’ arrival, Hawaii combined for 12 wins and not a single draft pick or bowl game berth.

The 2007 season proved to be the pinnacle of success for Jones at Hawaii, as he led his team to the national spotlight with a top-10 national ranking, a BCS Bowl berth and the school’s first Heisman Trophy finalist. Hawaii finished the 2007 regular season undefeated at 12-0 and was the only team in the Football Bowl Subdivision to earn that distinction. Along the way, the team shattered dozens of NCAA, conference and school records as Jones became just the third coach to lead a team to a BCS Bowl from a con-ference without an automatic BCS berth. For his efforts, Jones was named the 2007 WAC Coach of the Year and was one of seven finalists for the 2007 Paul “Bear” Bryant College Coach of the Year Award.

Jones was named the 1999 National Coach of the Year (CNN/Sports Illustrated, American Football Coach/Schutt Sports & The Sporting News) after leading the Warriors to a share of the WAC Championship and a 23-17 win over Oregon State in the Jeep O’ahu Bowl.

Before joining the Warriors in 1999, Jones enjoyed a 12-year coaching career in the NFL, including head coaching stops at Atlanta (1994-96) and San Diego (1998). With the Falcons, Jones guided the team that he once played for to a playoff wild-card berth in 1995.

Originally from Portland, Ore., Jones gradu-ated from New York State Regents College after playing quarterback at Oregon (1971-1972), Hawaii (1973-1974), and Portland State (1975-1976) and went on to play professionally for the Atlanta Falcons (1977-1981) of the NFL and the Toronto Argonauts (1982) of the Canadian Football League.

TEMPLE

STORYLINESTemple has a new head coach for the second time in three years as Matt Rhule — the former Owl offensive coordinator —takes over. Rhule had most recently been an assistant with the New York Giants.

The Owls saw a streak of three straight winning seasons snapped with last year’s 4-7 record.

Temple will play in the first American Athletic Conference game Sept. 7, when the Owls host Houston at Lincoln Financial Field.

Temple has 14 starters back from last year, in-cluding eight returing starters on offense.

OFFENSEQB Connor Reilly, who did not see game action last season, enters preseason camp as the pro-jected starting quarterback as the Owls look for a more balanced offensive system.

HB Chris Coyer, who was the regular starter at quarterback, changes positions after he rushed for 444 yards and two touchdowns last year.

WR Jalen Fitzpatrick led the Owls in receiving last year with 30 catches for 363 yards.

The Owls will expect to go with three seniors on the offensive line this year, with OT Cody Booth moving from tight end. OG Jeff Whittingham and C Sean Boyle also return to the lineup.

DEFENSETemple boasts two of The American’s better young linebackers. LB Tyler Matakevich was the Big East Defensive Rookie of the Year last season, while LB Nate D. Smith finished with 75 stops as a redshirt freshman.

NT Levi Brown is the lone returning starter on the defensive line. Brown had 27 tackles in 2012.

Temple returns two starting corners. CB Zamel Johnson had four pass breakups, whlile CB Anthony Robey had six.

SPECIAL TEAMSK/P Paul Layton is expected to handle the kick-ing and punting chores this season. Layton averaged a Northeast Conference-leading 41.4 yards per punt for Albany before transferring to Temple.

The Owls will need to replace the production of Matt Brown, who was the Big East Special Teams Player of the Year as a return specialist.

TEMPLE

Matt Rhule, who has 15 seasons of coaching experience on the collegiate and professional levels, was named Temple University’s 26th head football coach Dec. 17, 2012. He previously served as the assistant offensive line coach with the New York Giants.

The State College, Pa., native, a former player at Penn State, has 14 years of col-legiate coaching experience, including six seasons at Temple, and six bowl games-- two with the Owls-- on his resume.

Rhule, 38, joined the Giants in the spring of 2012. He worked closely with Pat Flaherty, who has been the offensive line coach since 2004.

During his previous tenure at Temple, Rhule’s role changed several times. Last spring, he was promoted to co-offensive coordinator after serving as the assis-tant offensive coordinator and tight ends coach as well as the recruiting coordinator under Steve Addazio in 2011. Temple’s 2012 recruiting class was ranked No. 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 No. 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 guided the offense to the largest margin of victory in a MAC game. Helping the team to an 8-4 regular-season record, the Owls recorded back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1978-79, including their first win over a BCS team.

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. The Owls out-scored their opponents for the season for the first time since 1990.

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. In 2005, he was offen-sive line coach and run game coordinator after directing the linebackers his first three years. Rhule was special teams coordinator during his tenure in Cullowhee (N.C.). In 2005, the Catamounts led Division I-AA in kickoff returns, averaging 27.44 yards per return.

In 2004, WCU ranked 12th nationally in total defense and 15th in pass defense, largely due to the production of Rhule’s linebacker corps. In 2003, the Catamounts led the SoCon in rush defense for the first time in school history.

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 coaching career as a volun-teer assistant at Penn State in the spring of 1998 before working at Albright College in Reading, Pa. for the 1998 season.

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

Rhule received his undergraduate degree in political science before earning his master’s degree in educational psychology from Buffalo in 2003.
