Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2007 2:51 pmwe're not the biggest disappointment in CUSA (according to the Dash)
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/ ... ortCat=ncf
Conference USA (30)
Best player: Kevin Smith, Central Florida. The junior running back leads the nation in rushing at 172 yards per game and has racked up 11 touchdowns. If Smith really wants to make a name for himself, he has an opportunity Saturday against South Florida.
Best coaching job: Mike Price, UTEP. He lost the school's all-time leading passer (Jordan Palmer) and receiver (Johnnie Lee Higgins) but still has the Miners 4-2 overall and 2-0 in league play. And they've scored 148 points in the last three games.
Biggest surprise: East Carolina lost its leading rusher, passer, receiver and tackler from last season but leads the East Division at 2-1 after consecutive wins over Houston and Central Florida.
Biggest disappointment: Nobody was expecting greatness from Marshall, especially against a difficult schedule. But 0-5, including a loss to I-AA New Hampshire, is not ideal.
Who will win it: Southern Mississippi in the East if it can overcome quarterback injuries. And, what the heck, how about Rice to get healthy itself and rebound from an 0-4 start and win the West?
