A romp around Conference USA:

Memphis at Arkansas State: With a little bit more room to manuever, thanks to the NCAA kickoff rule change moving the ball back to the 30, ASU’s Brandon Thompkins is a threat. For the latest on the Tigers, click here.

Southern Miss at Boise State: The Golden Eagles will have a tough time getting past Boise State’s best offensive lineman.

LSU at Tulane: Look for the Tigers to be wearing something different in the Superdome on Saturday. The Green Wave celebrated the 1970 team last Saturday.

UTEP at SMU: Defensive injuries are wreaking havoc with the Miners.

East Carolina at Houston: It won’t make a difference in this game, but the Cougars are celebrating getting a commitment from a top Texas prep QB.
Meanwhile, Pirates coach Skip Holtz said his team found out a lot about itself in getting trampled by West Virginia.

UAB at Tulsa: Tulsa has put Friday night’s 41-point loss to Oklahoma in the rear-view mirror and is focused on C-USA foe UAB.

Louisiana-Lafayette at UCF: The opponent is winless. The Knights are coming off a great showing against Memphis. George O’Leary isn’t worried about his team being overconfident.
