2 • 2014 American Athletic Conference Football


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 membership in 2014-15 consists of 11 institutions: 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 University of South Florida Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.

The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only.

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, has immediately taken a place at the fore-front of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in four Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won nine NCAA women’s bas-ketball championships since 1995.

Two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll. Five were selected for bowl games, including UCF, which won the

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 10 nationally. The conference pro-duced 14 players who received All-America recognition by a major outlet.

The American had four players chosen in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, trailing only the SEC and the ACC among FBS conferences. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles highlighted a group of 12 American Athletic Conference players chosen when he was taken No. 3 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The success of The American in Year 1 was not limited to the gridiron. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball. The conference had the best postseason winning percentage of any league in men’s basketball, while The American produced top-10 teams in baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf and sent half of its participating teams to the NCAA Softball Championship.

The American Athletic Conference holds 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 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 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 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 fol-lowing 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 champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

Additionally, The American has announced primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the next six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable post-season destinations to member institutions and their fans.

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, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and adminis-trators’ meetings held on-site each year.

American Athletic Conference Headquarters

The American Athletic Conference adminis-ters to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, Rhode Island. The location of the conference headquarters — sit-uated 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 and a direct connection to all of the major cities in the Northeast.

The conference has been in its current location since 2010. The office is equipped with a complete video production studio, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to easily accommodate the many coaches’ and adminis-trators’ meetings held on-site each year.


CONFERENCE STAFF

Mike Aresco has established himself as one of the foremost 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 first year produced a remark-able string of accomplishments as UCF won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball. American Athletic Conference teams had the best postseason winning percentage of any conference in men’s basketball, as 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 American features 11 members in the 2014-15 academic year: UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, USF, SMU, Temple Tulane and Tulsa. Navy joins in 2015-16

as a football-playing member. Among the mile-stones reached in Aresco’s tenure have been the launch of a football championship game for the first time in 2015 and the league’s staging of 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.

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 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 confer-ence unprecedented national exposure and branding with the two industry leaders in sports television. Aresco then quickly and suc-cessfully organized the process whereby the conference 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 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 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 conference digital network; successful negotia-tions 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 will be owned and operated by the American Athletic Conference in a first-of-its-kind venture.

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 management com-mittee of the College Football Playoff and the board of managers for both the College Football Officiating, LLC, and Men’s College Basketball, LLC.

Aresco has been a leader in the NCAA gov-ernance redesign efforts and a 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 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 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 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 School of Law (J.D.). He practiced law privately in Hartford, Conn., for several years.

Aresco is a regular speaker and expert panel-ist at national symposiums and seminars on the topics of college athletics and sports televi-sion. He was awarded the 2013 Distinguished Graduate Award by the UConn School of Law Alumni Association.

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

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF

This season, college football enters a new four-team playoff era. The for-mat 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 biggest innovation in the sport in decades.

How It WorksA 13-member selection committee will rank the top 25 teams. The top

four ranked teams will play in two semifinal games on New Year’s Day. The two winning teams will play in the championship game in North Texas Jan. 12, 2015.

CriteriaThe committee will rank each team based on championships won,

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

RankingsOn Oct. 28, the committee will release the first of seven weekly rankings

of the top 25 teams. The final ranking will be released Dec. 7. It will be the seeding for the playoff.

AccessEvery FBS team will have equal access to the playoff based on its

performance. No team or conference will qualify automatically. There will be no limit on the number of teams from a conference that can make the playoff.

Championship MondayThe championship game will be on Monday night every year.

Conferences Manage The EventThe FBS conferences will manage the College Football Playoff. All 10

conferences are members of the new entity CFP Administration, LLC.

Selection Committee Responsibilities• Select the top four teams for the playoff, rank them and assign

them to semifinal sites.• Rank the next group of teams to play in other New Year’s bowls if

berths are available.• Select the highest-ranked champion from the five conferences

without New Year’s bowl contracts.• 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 the other New Year’s bowls.

The Fiesta, Cotton and Peach Bowls will host displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champion from a non-contract confer-ence. The highest-ranked available teams will fill any other berths. The Selection Committee will make the pairings.

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.

INDIVIDUAL STANDARDS

EIGHTH ON-FIELD OFFICIALThe American Athletic Conference will use an

eighth on-field official, who will be positioned in the offensive backfield opposite the referee, in all conference games in 2014.

This will provide better coverage in determining legal and illegal acts involving interior line play and will also help in ruling on hits on the quarterback.


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, ESPN, ESPN2, CBSSN, 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 the ball goes out of bounds or 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 indisput-able 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.

e. Ball carrier’s forward progress with respect to a first down.

f. Catch or recovery of a fumble by a Team A player other than the fumbler before any change of pos-session during fourth down or a try.

g. Ball carrier in or out of bounds. If a ball carrier is ruled out of bounds, the play is not reviewable, except as in Rules 12-3-1-a and 12-3-3-d.

h. Catch or recovery of a loose ball by a player poten-tially touching a sideline or end line.

i. A loose ball touching on or beyond a sideline, goal line, or end line, touching a pylon, or breaking the plane of a goal line.

j. Catch or recovery of a loose ball in the field of play or an end zone.

KICKSARTICLE 4. Reviewable plays involving kicks include:a. Touching of a kick.b. Player beyond the neutral zone when kicking the

ball.c. Kicking team player advancing a ball after a poten-

tial muffed kick/fumble by the receiving team.d. Scrimmage kick crossing the neutral zone.

MISCELLANEOUSARTICLE 5.a. The number of players on the field by either team

during a live ball.b. Clock adjustment when a ruling is reviewed.c. Clock adjustment at the end of any quarter

(Exception: Rule 3-2-5-b). If, at the end of any quarter, the game clock expires, either during a down in which it should be stopped by rule when the ball becomes dead or following the down upon a request for an available team timeout, the replay official may restore time only under these conditions:

1. The replay official has indisputable video evi-dence that time should have remained on the game clock when the ball became dead or when the team timeout was granted;

2. In the second and fourth quarters only, the team in possession when the ball became dead would next put the ball in play from scrimmage;

UCF

In his 11th year at UCF in 2014, George O’Leary has helped the Knights achieve dozens of historic firsts, including games in front of sellout crowds on campus, individual accolades for student-athletes, three 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 head coach has molded his program into a consistent win-ner on and off of the field.

Joining The American in 2013, UCF set school records with 12 wins, seven victo-ries away from Orlando and a nine-game winning streak which is still active head-ing into 2014. 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 would achieve their first top-10 ranking by placing 10th in the final AP poll.

O’Leary would be 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 guided the 2010 Knights to the school’s first 11-win season, the Conference USA cham-pionship and an AutoZone Liberty Bowl win over Georgia. The Knights earned their first-ever national rankings 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 rebuilt the UCF 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 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 and made five bowl appearances.

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.

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.

O’Leary received his first coaching job at the collegiate level at Syracuse (1980-86). He coached the defensive line and was the assis-tant 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.

Tommy Tuberville, an 18-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 colle-giate game, came to Cincinnati after three years at Texas Tech. He led Cincinnati to a 9-4 record in his first year with the Bearcats.

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 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.

STORYLINESUConn enters the 2014 season with a three-game winning streak after the Huskies bounced back from an 0-9 start to the 2013 campaign.

First-year head coach Bob Diaco joins the Huskes after spending the last four seasons as defensive coordinator at Notre Dame. Diaco helped the Irish reach the BCS National Cham-pionship game in 2012.

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

OFFENSEUConn returns three quarterbacks who started four games each last season, including QB Casey Cochran, who finished the year as the starter. The Huskies went 3-1 with Cochran as the starting quarterback.

The Huskies have returning starters at four of six offensive skill positions.

WR Geremy Davis became the first UConn player to register 1,000 receiving yards in a season since the Huskies elevated their program to FBS status. Davis had 71 catches for 1,085 yards and three touchdowns last year.

The top returning rusher is RB Max DiLorenzo, who ran for 349 yards and five touchdowns last season.

C Alex Mateas is the only returning starter on the offensive line.

DEFENSEAfter holding just one of their first nine op-ponents to fewer than 24 points, the Huskies allowed no more than 21 points in each of their last three games in 2013.

The Huskies return five starters from a defense that forced eight turnovers in the last three games of the 2013 season.

UConn will need to replace a pair of defensive backs who were drafted by NFL teams. CB Byron Jones returns after he had a team-high three interceptions after moving from safety to cor-nerback last season. S Obi Melifonwu registered 70 tackles and two interceptions a year ago.

DT Julian Campenni and DE Angelo Pruitt are the only returning starters on the defensive line. Pruitt is a veteran of 18 career starts.

Bob Diaco, who served on the Notre Dame coaching staff as the defensive coordinator for the past four years and the assistant head coach for the past two, is in his first year as the head football coach at the University of Connecticut in 2014- the 30th head coach in school history.

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 linebacker coach, took responsibility for the entire linebacker position in 2011 and added responsibilities as associate head coach in 2012.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked among the top 10 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 12 different 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 seven bowl appear-ances in the last eight years. The Pirates won six of their last seven games in 2013 to reach the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl, where they defeated Ohio 37-20.

East Carolina’s 10 wins last season rank second in school history, behind only the Pirates’ 11-1 finish in 1991.

East Carolina’s 2014 schedule includes two games against teams that finished in the top 10 last season (South Carolina, UCF).

OFFENSEQB Shane Carden was second nationally in com-pletion percentage last season (70.5 percent) and threw for 4,139 yards and 33 touchdowns. Carden was the 2013 Conference USA Most Valuable Player.

In just two seasons, WR Justin Hardy has set East Carolina’s career records for receiving yards (3,047) and touchdown receptions (25).

RB Breon Allen is expected to take over as the featured tailback. Allen rushed for 311 yards and three TDs last year, behind Vintavious Cooper.

The Pirates ranked eighth nationally in scoring offense last year (40.2 ppg).

DEFENSEThe Priates return just three starters from last year’s defense. DE Terrell Stanley, who would have been a returning starter on the defensive line, will miss the 2014 season while he recovers from injuries suffered in an automobile accident.

LB Zeek Bigger is the lone returning starter at linebacker. Bigger registered 77 tackles — good for third on the team — with 4.5 tackles for loss last season.

NT Chrishon Rose will be jioned by two new starters on the defensive line. Rose had 31 tackles, 2.5 sacks and six tackles for loss last season as the anchor of the Pirates’ 3-4 front.

CB Detric Allen is a fourth-year man at cor-nerback who looks to provide leadership to an otherwise young secondary.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Warren Harvey returns as the starting placekicker. Harvey was 15-of-25 on field goal attempts last season.

P Worth Gregory, a transfer from Alabama, could emerge as the Pirates’ new regular punter.

Justin Hardy registered 225 yards on punt returns last season, averaging 11.2 yards per return.

EAST CAROLINA

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

Not to mention, plenty of excitement with a plethora of points on offense, a resur-gency on the defense side of the ball and more bowl destinations as well.

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.

Equally as impressive as ECU’s 10-3 overall mark and 37-20 Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl win over Ohio in 2013 was the Pirates’ first same-season sweep of in-state Atlantic Coast Conference oppo-nents North Carolina and NC State after posting convincing 55-31 and 42-28 triumphs over the Tar Heels and Wolfpack, respectively.

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.

He graduated from East Carolina in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in education and later earned a master’s degree in secondary counseling from Clemson in 1987.

HOUSTON

Tony Levine enters his third 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.

The St. Paul, Minn., native directed Houston in its final season of play in Conference USA and led the team’s transition into The American Athletic Conference in 2013. Levine led Houston to its 16th eight-win season in program history as it opened the season 5-0 for just the fifth time in program history. UH led the nation with a +25 turnover margin and 43 turnovers gained. Seven players received 2013 postseason honors from The American includ-ing freshman Demarcus Ayers being named the league’s Co-Special Teams Player of the Year and John O’Korn being named Rookie of the Year.

The 41-year old has spent 19 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.

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 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.

STORYLINESMemphis has 18 starters — the second-most of any American Athletic Conference team —re-turning for the 2014 season.

The Tigers played in five bowl games between 2003 and 2008, but have missed the postseason in each of the last five years.

Memphis became the first American Ath-letic Conference program with a consensus All-America selection as P Tom Hornsey earned the honor last season.

OFFENSERB Brandon Hayes, who rushed for 860 yards and five touchdowns last season, was granted a sixth year of eligibility and will lead a group of nine returning starters on offense.

QB Paxton Lynch started all 12 games as a redshirt freshman and ranked eighth in The American in total offense (181.9 yards per game).

The Tigers return three starters on the offensive line and have a combined 63 career starts back up front.

Memphis returns its top eight receivers from last year. WR Joe Craig was the team leader with 37 catches and 338 receiving yards.

DEFENSEMemphis was ranked 12th nationally in rushing defense (116.3 ypg) in 2013.

DE Martin Ifedi registered 11.5 sacks last season and was seventh nationally with 0.96 sacks per game. Ifedi earned first-team all-conferene accolades.

CB Bobby McCain led The American with six interceptions despite missing three games with injuires.

The Tigers return all three starting lineback-ers from a year ago. LB Charles Harris had 74 tackles, while LB Tank Jakes had 71 stops with three sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Jake Elliott emerged as one of the nation’s top kickers as a freshman last season. Elliott was 16-for-18 on field goal attempts, including 3-for-3 from 50 yards or longer.

Joe Craig had 724 yards on kickoff returns, averaging 26.8 yards per return.

The Tigers will go with a new man at punter to replace Hornsey. P Spencer Smith is the leading candidate following spring practice.

While laying the groundwork for the University of Memphis football program during his first two seasons as head coach, Justin Fuente has overseen the Tigers’ step up in competition includ-ing the move to the American Athletic Conference in Year 2.

Fuente knew the challenges the program would face as the team headed into The American. In his second season as head coach, the Tigers may have finished in the bottom half of the league standings in the new conference but it has been apparent that the program is heading in the right direction.

In 2013, Memphis faced the third-tough-est schedule among American Athletic Conference programs, playing seven opponents who advanced to bowl games. Games lost to bowl-bound opponents were decided by just eight points per game.

Memphis continued to make major strides in Year 2 under Fuente.

Defensively, the Tigers were ranked No. 39 in total defense (370.7 ypg allowed) and No. 12 against the run (116.3 ypg allowed). Offensively, Memphis freshman quarterback Paxton Lynch passed for over 2,000 yards, becoming just the second rookie in program history to do so. It was just the 10th time overall a quarterback has passed for over 2,000 yards in a season.

Memphis’ special teams featured the Ray Guy Award winner, annually presented to collegiate football’s top punter, and a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, which is presented to the nation’s top kicker, as well as one of the nation’s top kick returners.

Memphis had three players named to the All-American Athletic Conference Team - kicker Jake Elliott, punter Tom Hornsey and defensive end Martin Ifedi.

In Fuente’s first season in 2012, the Tigers posted their best finish since 2008 and won more conference games than the previous three seasons combined but Memphis’ then new head coach began building a foundation months prior to his rookie season.

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.

USF

STORYLINESUSF won its first two American Athletic Confer-ence games in 2013, but the Bulls enter the 2014 season looking to end a six-game slide.

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 play five of their first six games at home in 2014.

OFFENSEThe Bulls return 10 offensive starters from last year.

Despite a year in which USF had four players make at least one start at quarterback, WR Andre Davis had a school-record 735 receiving yards last season. Davis ranks third on USF’s all-time chart (1,542 yards).

QB Mike White started the last five games of the 2013 season and emerged as the Bulls’ most reliable signal-caller as a freshman.

USF returns its entire starting offensive line from last season, which will be supported by a pair of solid tight ends. TE Mike McFarland earned second-team all-conference honors last season, while TE Sean Price was named to the 2014 Mackey Award preseason watch list.

DEFENSEThe Bulls return only four regular starters from last year’s defense.

The top returner is LB Reshard Cliett, who was second on the team in tackles (56) last year. Cliett added seven tackles for loss and three pass breakups.

The Bulls, who had just two defensive inter-ceptions in 2012, registered 11 picks in 2013. S Hassan Childs led the squad with three interceptions.

The USF defense held a Michigan State squad that would go on to finish No. 3 in the nation to just 265 yards in last year’s matchup.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Marvin Kloss, a finalist for the Lou Groza Award in 2013, made 11 field goals of at least 40 or more yards — the most of any FBS player.

Kloss had a streak of 13 consecutive made field goals in 2013. Four of his five missed field goals from last year were from 49 yards or longer.

P Mattias Ciabatti returns as the regular punter after he averaged 40.2 yards per punt last sea-son.

WR Chris Dunkley averaged 22.6 yards on kickoff returns.

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.

SMU

STORYLINESThe Mustangs saw a streak of four consecu-tive bowl appearances end with last year’s 5-7 campaign.

June Jones has never had back-to-back losing seasons in 15 years as a head coach.

SMU will face three teams ranked among the top 18 of last year’s final Associated Press poll (UCF, Baylor, Texas A&M).

OFFENSEWR Darius Joseph ranked second in the Ameri-can Athletic Conference with 108 receptions on the year, trailing only his former teammate Jeremy Johnson among the league leaders.

The Mustangs were beset with injuries at the running back spot last year. RB Prescott Line, who rushed for 332 yards and three TDs is the top returner, though RB Kevin Pope — a converted linebacker from last season — is expected to see significant action.

C Taylor Lasecki — who was named to the Rimington Trophy watch list —leads an offensive line that has three starters returning.

QB Neal Burcham will take over as the starting quarterback after he started the final two games of 2013. Burcham threw for 556 yards and two TDs, playing behind record-setting signal-caller Garrett Gilbert last year.

DEFENSESMU returns seven defensive starters from last year, though Kevin Pope — who was second on the team in tackles as a linebacker — moves to running back.

LB Stephon Sanders registered a team-high 13.5 tackles for loss and had 86 total tackles in 2013. Sanders had 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception.

The Mustangs bring back all three starters from last year’s defensive line. DE Beau Barnes had five sacks, 13 tackles for loss and an interception to lead that group.

After allowing 30 or more points in each of their first five games, the Mustangs allowed more than 30 points just twice in their final seven contests.

SPECIAL TEAMSSMU will have to replace a pair of oustanding kicking specialists from last season.

K Cody Rademacher, who served as a holder last year, is the early favorite to take over at placekicker, while the punter spot will likely be filled by a newcomer.

WR Deion Sanders averaged 20.6 yards on kickoff returns last season.

SMU

After six seasons at the helm of the SMU football program, June Jones has proven again that he is master architect in build-ing and rebuilding football programs. After winning just two games in two seasons, the Jones’ Mustangs have won 35 games and three bowl championships over the past five years, reestablishing champion-ship 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). Jones was named Conference USA Coach of the Year by Sporting News in 2009, and, following 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. In 2013, SMU lost the last two games when starting QB Garrett Gilbert got hurt, stop-ping SMU’s bowl streak at four.

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.

STORYLINESTemple held the lead or was tied for 306 of the last 360 minutes of the season (85 percent), but went just 2-4 in those games. By comparison, Temple trailed for 78 percent of its first six games.

The Owls made bowl appearances in 2009 and 2011, but have missed the postseason in each of the last two years.

Temple lists just seven seniors on its 2014 roster.

OFFENSEQB P.J. Walker ranked third in the American Athletic Conference in pass efficiency (150.8) as a true freshman, trailing only Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater and UCF’s Blake Bortles.

Walker threw for 2,084 yards and 20 touchdowns against eight interceptions as a true freshman. He also rushed for 332 yards and three TDs.

The Owls set a school record with 2,996 passing yards in 2013.

RB Kenneth Harper and RB Zaire Williams comprised one of the top backfield tandems in the American Athletic Conference last year. The two combined to rush for 1,146 yards and 12 touchdowns.

C Kyle Friend, who played every snap in 2013, anchors an offensive line that must replace four starters from last year.

DEFENSELB Tyler Matakevich led the nation in solo tackles last season (8.8 per game) and was a first team all-conference selection. Matakevich has registered at least 100 tackles in each of his first two seasons.

Matakevich was named to the preseason watch lists for the Bednarik Award and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the nation’s top defensive player.

LB Nate D. Smith tied for the team lead with three sacks and had 66 tackles as a sophomore in 2013.

DT Matt Ioannidis leads a defensive line that has three returning starters. Ioannidis registered three sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss last season.

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.

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. He spent 1987 and 1988 at the school before becom-ing the receivers coach at San Diego State. His next stop was at Southern Methodist in 1994 before becoming wide receivers coach in 1995 at the University of California-Berkeley.

Johnson attended the University of Idaho and received his bachelor’s degree in physical edu-cation in 1985. He was a four-year starter for the Vandals and an All-Big Sky Conference selection.

TULSA

STORYLINESTulsa has reached double digits in wins four times since the 2007 season, most recently in 2012, when the Golden Hurricane went 11-3 and won the Conference USA title. In 2011, Tulsa went 8-5 against a schedule that included four top-10 teams.

Tulsa has not had back-to-back losing seasons since 2002.

The Hurricane face two opponents (Oklahoma, UCF) that were ranked in the top 10 of the final Associated Press poll last season.

OFFENSETulsa returns four offensive starters from last year, but will get a boost from the return of WR Keyarris Garrett, who had 845 yards and nine touchdowns in 2012. Garrett missed all but the first two games of last season with a leg injury.

Only one offensive lineman started all 12 games at the same spot last year. The Hurricane has three regular starters back on the line in 2014, however, as OT Garrett Stafford, OT Davis Wal-ton and C Dylan Foxworth all return.

QB Dane Evans made five starts last season and is the most experienced of the Tulsa quar-terbacks. Evans threw for 898 yards and four TDs in 2013.

DEFENSEDB Michael Mudoh, a second-team All-Confer-ence USA selection last year, leads a group of 10 returning defensive starters for Tulsa. The only starter not returning is LB Shawn Jackson, the 2013 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year.

Mudoh led the Hurricane with 133 tackles and had one interception.

S Demarco Nelson is a former all-conference selection who returns to the lineup as a fourth-year starter. Nelson missed the 2013 season for academic reasons.

Tulsa returns all four starters on the defensive line and two of its three starting linebackers from last year.

SPECIAL TEAMSK Carl Salazar was named to the Lou Groza Award preseason watch list after he was 16-for-19 in field goal attempts last season.

P Dalton Parks averaged 39.5 yards per punt last season.

The Hurricane will go with new faces at the kick-off and punt return spots following the departure of last year’s regulars.

TULSA

After three years at the helm of the Tulsa football program, Golden Hurricane alum-nus Bill Blankenship has guided TU to an overall 22-17 record.

In 2012, Blankenship led the Hurricane to an 11-3 record, tying the 2008 team for the most wins in school history. His team post-ed a second consecutive 7-1 Conference USA mark, won the C-USA West Division title and C-USA Championship, while closing out the season with a 31-17 vic-tory over Iowa State in the 54th Annual AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

Blankenship led Tulsa to an 8-5 record and an appearance in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl at the end of the 2011 campaign, his first season as the Hurricane head coach.

A former Tulsa quarterback, Blankenship has been a part of the Hurricane coaching staff for seven years, including the last three as head coach. He was promoted as the school’s 28th head football coach on Jan. 14, 2011.

In his seven seasons, Tulsa teams have won 58 games, three Conference USA West Division titles (2007, 2008 and 2012), shared one West Division crown (2010), made three appearanc-es in the C-USA Championship Game (2007, 2008 and 2012) and played in five Bowl games. Blankenship has been a part of four 10-wins seasons in his seven years on the Hurricane staff, as there is only nine years of 10 or more wins in school history.

Before his appointment as head coach, Blankenship spent four years as an assistant coach for the Hurricane under Todd Graham. He returned to his alma mater in January 2007 to coach the wide receivers. In 2008, Blankenship was named special teams coordinator and in 2009 added the responsibilities of running backs coach as well. In 2010, Blankenship served as senior associate head coach, running backs coach and special teams coordinator.

In four seasons as an assistant, Blankenship was a part of 36 victories, two straight Conference USA West Division titles (2007, 2008), shared one C-USA Western Division crown (2010), played in two C-USA Championship Games (2007, 2008), two GMAC Bowl Championships and the 2010 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Championship. Blankenship was a key member of an offensive coaching staff that saw the Hurricane lead the nation in total offense two straight years, with an average of 543.9 yards in 2007 and an aver-age of 569.9 yards in 2008. In 2007, Blankenship’s receiving corps had three players total more than 1,000 yards on the season (Brennan Marion, Trae Johnson and Charles Clay). In 2010, Tulsa

was once again among the national leaders in offense ranking fifth in total offense (505.6), sixth in scoring offense (41.3), 13th in passing offense (288.6) and 15th in rushing offense (216.9).

Before entering the collegiate coaching ranks, Blankenship spent 23 years as an Oklahoma High School coach. Blankenship resigned as the head football coach at Tulsa’s Union High School in December 2005 after leading his team to a second consecutive state championship at the Oklahoma Class 6A school.

As a head coach on the prep level, Blankenship compiled a 205-68 record, including an average of 10 wins per season for his last 20 years, appeared in the state championship game eight times and won three state titles. He was named the District Coach of the Year eight times, twice was selected as the Region Coach of the Year and served as head coach for the Oklahoma team at the 1998 Oil Bowl All-Star game.

He spent 14 years as the head football coach and athletic director at Union High School, where he registered a record of 154-26. He guided his Union team to Oklahoma Class 6A state titles in 2002, 2004 and 2005. Blankenship’s teams at Union won eight straight district cham-pionships and had a 56-game home winning streak from 1997 through 2005.

Blankenship was a three-year letterman and quarterback at Tulsa during the 1975-79 sea-sons. After redshirting in 1976, Blankenship started eight games in the 1977 season and six contests in 1979. During his playing career, he threw for 2,113 yards and eight touchdowns. Blankenship earned a bachelor’s degree in biol-ogy in 1979, and received a master’s degree from Northeastern State in 1985.
