2015 SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALLSUN BELT CONFERENCE STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Nick Arbuckle (Georgia State, QB. Sr., History)Quarterback Nick Arbuckle passed for 412 yards and accounted for three touchdowns to lead Georgia State to a 31-19 victory at Ball State. Arbuckle completed 28 of 38 passes with one touchdown and no in-terceptions while scoring twice on 1-yard runs. With Georgia State clinging to a 24-19 lead and less than three minutes to play, Arbuckle connected with Donovan Harden for a 68-yard completion down to the 1-yard line. Two plays later, Arbuckle snuck over for the clinching touchdown. He also scored on a 1-yard plunge in the second quarter. Arbuckle’s 412 yards are just two shy of his school record of 414 yards. The senior leads the Sun Belt and ranks ninth in FBS in passing with 326.8 yards per game. He also leads the conference in completion percentage and total offense while ranking second in pass efficiency and touch-down passes. In 18 games in a GSU uniform, Arbuckle is averaging 291.3 yards passing per game. That ranks second among all active FBS quarterbacks, trailing only Cal’s Jared Goff.

Eagles Tabbed to Repeat as League Champions in 2015NEW ORLEANS – Georgia Southern was picked as the favorite to repeat and win the conference championship in the 2015 Sun Belt Conference Football Preseason Poll, voted on by the league’s 11 head coaches.

The Eagles received six of the 11 first-place votes and tallied 110 points, narrowly surpassing the UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns who tallied 108 points and three first-place votes.

The Red Wolves made their fourth consecutive appearance in the GoDaddy Bowl in 2014 as they look for yet another stellar campaign. The Mountaineers closed out 2014 with six consecutive victories – one of the five longest win streaks in the country heading into the 2015 season.

Texas State, with 78 points, was picked to finish fifth to round out the top five. South Alabama was picked to finish sixth and received the final first-place vote; UL Monroe was seventh followed by Troy in eighth. Georgia State was picked ninth, New Mexico State tenth and Idaho 11th.

The Eagles return 13 total starters to the team that finished 9-3 a year ago. A few key returners are dual-threat quarter-back Kevin Ellison, All-Conference running back Matt Breida, running back L.A. Ramsby and All-Conference defensive back Matt Dobson.

2015 Schedule

Mountaineer News and Notes Appalachian State (5-1, 2-0 Sun Belt) claimed its eighth-straight Sun Belt Conference victory with a 59-14 rout at UL Monroe on Saturday.

The victory over ULM sets up a mammoth Sun Belt Conference matchup versus longtime rival Geor-gia Southern (5-1, 3-0 Sun Belt) on Thursday night at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on ESPNU.

Appalachian State has won 11 of its last 12 games overall. The Mountaineers’ only blemish during that span is a 41-10 loss at then-No. 12 Clemson on Sept. 12 (Clemson is now ranked No. 5 nation-ally).

Appalachian State’s 59 points and 654 yards of total offense at ULM were its most ever in Sun Belt Conference play while its 45-point margin of victory was its largest in a Sun Belt game.

Appalachian State also set records for the most points scored (prev.: 55 by Southeastern Louisiana in 1980) and largest margin of victory (prev. 43 by Tulane in 2002) by a visiting team in the 38-season history of ULM’s Malone Stadium.

Finally, the 59 points were the most ever scored against ULM in its 15 seasons in the Sun Belt and were the most scored by any opponent against the Warhawks since No. 2 Texas beat ULM, 59-20, in 2009.

Thursday’s meeting is the 30th all-time between heated rivals Appalachian State and Georgia Southern. Appalachian holds a 15-13-1 advantage in the all-time series, including a commanding 11-3-1 edge in games played in Boone.

Appalachian State has won five of the last seven matchups against Georgia Southern, including three-straight wins over the Eagles at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

Six of the last nine Appalachian State-Georgia Southern games have been decided by a touchdown or less, including two overtime contests (a 27-20 App State win in 2006 and a 21-14 GS win in 2010).

2015 SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALLGEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES (5-1, 2-0 SBC)

Eagle News and Notes Georgia Southern and Appalachian State have met 30 previous times with the Mountaineers holding a 16-13-1 lead in a series that dates back to 1932. Appalachian State holds a 13-11 advantage in games played in the modern era (since 1982 when Georgia Southern re-started its program).

Last season, in both team’s first year in the Sun Belt Conference, the Eagles rolled past the Moun-taineers 34-14 as Matt Breida (151), Kevin Ellison (135) and L.A. Ramsby (51) combined for 337 yards on the ground. The win broke a three-game losing skid against Appalachian State.

The prior season, Appalachian State put up 515 yards of total offense at it downed Georgia Southern 38-14.

Prior to the past two season’s lopsided wins, six of the previous seven games in the Georgia South-ern-Appalachian State series were decided by seven points or less.

Tight ends coach Chad Lunsford spent two seasons on the staff at App State as tight ends coach (2001-2002).

The Eagles are are 4-1 all-time in games played on Thursdays, 1-1 on the road. Georgia South-ern defeated Appalachian State and Troy last season and battled the elements for the victory over Middle Tennessee State in the 1989 “Hugo Bowl,” all on Thursdays. GS coach Willie Fritz is 17-2 as a head coach in Thursday night games.

Georgia Southern hasn’t fared well at Kidd Brewer Stadium over the years, entering Thursday’s game on a three-game losing streak. The Eagles haven’t won at “The Rock” since 2007 and have been outscored 111-47 during that span. GS is just 4-9 all-time at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

Kidd Brewer Stadium sits at 3,333 feet above sea level, making it the highest-elevated FBS stadium east of the Mississippi State, easily topping Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium (2,057 feet). Georgia South-ern already played in Idaho’s Kibbie Dome earlier this season, which sports an elevation of 2,610 feet above season level. App State boasts a 226-72-5 (.754) all-time home record at Kidd Brewer Stadium, 72-14 in past 86 games.

2015 SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALLGEORGIA STATE PANTHERS (2-4, 1-1 SBC)

Panther News and Notes Georgia State enters an open week after a 31-19 victory at Mid-American Conference foe Ball State. Nick Arbuckle passed for 412 yards and accounted for three touchdowns and Robert Davis had career highs with nine catches for 125 yards to back a strong performance by the Georgia State defense.

Quarterback Nick Arbuckle leads the Sun Belt and ranks ninth in FBS in passing with 326.8 yards per game. He also leads the conference in completion percentage (66.2 percent) and total offense (317.3) while ranking second in pass efficiency (150.2) and touchdown passes (11). In 18 games in a GSU uniform, Arbuckle is averaging 291.3 yards passing per game. That ranks secong among all FBS quarterbacks, trailing only Cal’s Jared Goff.

After nine receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown vs. Ball State, Robert Davis now ranks second in Georgia State history in career receptions (125), yards (1,878) and touchdowns (9, tied with Danny Williams), trailing only current NFL receiver Albert Wilson in all three categories. Davis has caught at least one pass in every game he has played (30 consecutive games).

Arbuckle and wide receiver Donovan Harden hooked up for a 68-yard pass play down to the 2-yard line to set up the game-clinching touchdown vs. Ball State. That is GSU’s eighth pass play of the season of 50 yards or longer. Four different receivers have been involved: Harden (76 vs. Liberty, 57 vs. Liberty, 68 vs. Ball State); Robert Davis (75 vs. Oregon, 61 vs. Liberty); Penny Hart (58 vs. Liberty, 53 vs. Charlotte), and Nyiakki Height (51 vs. New Mexico State).

Senior linebacker Joseph Peterson, who had a game-high 14 tackles vs. Ball State, leads the Sun Belt with 10.7 tackles per game, good for 10th in FBS. Peterson ranks fourth among all active FBS players in career tackles with 325, the GSU record.

Senior safety Tarris Batiste is second on the team and third in the Sun Belt with 9.0 tackles per game. He is also second to Joseph Peterson in Georgia State annals with 217 career tackles.

Freshman receiver Penny Hart, who had five catches for 73 yards vs. Ball State, ranks second in the Sun Belt in receiving yards (85.5 pg) and touchdowns (4) and third in receptions (5.7 per game). Among all freshmen in the nation, Hart ranks third in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns.

Lutz leads the Sun Belt in punting at 45.2 yards per kick. Georgia State leads the conference and ranks ninth in FBS with a net of 41.65.

Vandal News and Notes The Idaho Vandals made the most of the 20 hours they spent away from the Pacific Northwest Satur-day when they snapped a 24-game road losing streak that stretched back to Nov. 5, 2011 when they won at San Jose State.

Last Saturday’s 19-16 victory over Troy University came on a day when the Vandals left Spokane, Wash., at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday and were back at Lewiston, Idaho, by 11:30 p.m. that night. The highlights were plenty for the Vandals but tops among them would be:

Junior Austin Rehkow’s four field goals, which includes the game-winning 19-yarder with 3:01 left in the game. He did miss once that evening but the 52-yarder was just outside the left upright. He was good on his lone PAT attempt and continued his dependable double-duty as the Vandals punter. One of just three FBS players to fill that dual role, he punted six times for an average of 42.5 Saturday night. His long was 61 yards.

Senior Dezmon Epps displayed even more dependability and durability. He caught 10 passes for 131 yards to mark his seventh game of more than 100-yards receiving and his third double-digit reception total. Of those seven 100-plus games, four have been in the five contests he has played this fall. But that wasn’t his only contribution to the victory. He had one punt returns for six yards and he spent time in the Idaho secondary where he had two tackles.

Senior defensive end Quinton Bradley added two more sacks to his total as he led a balanced defensive unit that allowed just two plays longer than 40 yards – one 43-yard run and one 51-yard pass. For the evening, the Trojans covered more than 10 yards on just 13 other plays on the night as the Vandals had four sacks and totaled nine tackles for loss. They also forced (Kaylyn Ayers) and recovered (Tueni Lupeamanu and Armond Hawkins) two fumbles, and intercepted two (Rus-sell Siavii and Marc Millan) passes.

Ragin’ Cajun News and Notes The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team used a 28-point third quarter to break free from a halftime tie and claim a 49-27 victory over Texas State in front of 21,377 Saturday evening at Cajun Field in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams. UL Lafayette (2-3, 1-0 Sun Belt) won its Sun Belt opener for the eighth straight season. The 49 points scored by the Cajuns were a season-high and 526 yards of offense marked the highest output since the Northwestern State contest (Sept. 12). Junior running back Elijah McGuire piled up a season-high 170 yards on a career-high 28 carries. As a team, the Cajuns rushed for 288 yards surpassing 200-plus for the third time in five outings. Junior quarterback Jalen Nixon had a career night finishing 22-of-29 for 238 yards and four touch-downs, including three through the air. Jamal Robinson posted his fifth multiple-touchdown game of his career hauling in two scores, the latter which proved to be the winning score in the third quarter. Robinson finished four catches and a season-high 67 yards – increasing his career total to 2,074 yards and two shy of tying Wayde Butler (1989-92) for sixth-place on the school’s all-time list. Al Riles led all receivers with nine catches for 98 yards. Torrey Pierce’s 13 carries for 56 yards and Nixon’s seven carries totaling 45 yards boosted the Cajuns rushing totals.

Jeryl Brazil’s 100-yard kickoff return against Texas State – the first TD of his career – tied the school-record and was the first by a Ragin’ Cajun since Darryl Surgent’s 100-yard kick return at Kansas State in 2013. The Loranger, La., native is currently ranked eighth among FBS players in kick return average (32.0).

Robinson’s 17-yard TD reception near the end of the first half against Texas State was his first since Oct. 4, 2014 when he caught two TDs in the Sun Belt Conference opener against Georgia State.

Warhawk News and Notes The Warhawks return to a state near and dear to their hearts. The program’s 1987 I-AA national championship was won in Pocatello, also in a dome, against Marshall.

The matchup kicks off three consecutive road games for ULM, its first since 2009 (Kentucky, Troy, North Texas). ULM returns to the bayou for a Halloween game at UL Lafayette before a trip to Troy. That 2009 season also marked the Warhawks’ last game in the Pacific time zone, a September contest at Arizona State (due to Arizona’s daylight savings time rule).

ULM’s contest with Idaho in 2014 was a wild one. A two-hour, six-minute lightning delay in the first quarter was accompanied by rain throughout the night. Centarius Donald’s one-yard touchdown run with nine seconds left gave the Warhawks the victory.

Saturday marks ULM’s first contest in Moscow since 2004, during Idaho’s first stint with the Sun Belt. The Warhawks pulled out a 16-14 victory.

The Warhawks have averaged 166 rushing yards per game the last two weeks. It’s the first time they’ve averaged over 150 in back-to-back games since the first two contests in 2014 (156.5 against Wake Forest and Idaho).

Fifth-year senior Hunter Kissinger has been on a tear since coming back from an injury that kept him out at the start of the season. His career-high 18 tackles came on the heels of having 13 against Tulsa and 12 versus Georgia Southern.

Aggie News and Notes The NM State football team returns home on Saturday after a three-game road stint to host Troy in a combination homecoming and Tough Enough to Wear Pink game.

The Aggies (0-6, 0-2) are coming off a tough 56-26 defeat at the hands of last year’s Sun Belt Confer-ence champions, the Georgia Southern Eagles. After falling behind 28-0, quarterback Andrew Allen found wide receiver Jordan Bergstrom for a three-yard pass and the touchdown to put NM State on the board before the half.

The visiting team added another touchdown, this time a three-yard pass from Allen to wide receiver Joshua Bowen, to trail 35-14 in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Allen and Bowen connected again, this time on an eight-yard pass in the end zone. Robert Wagner then had his first career forced fumble, which was picked up and returned for a 74-yard touchdown by Will Clement.

The two touchdowns by Bowen were a career-high for the senior. He also racked up 15 yards on four receptions against the Eagles.

This was Allen’s second career start and just his first this season. The sophomore was 20-of-37 for 253 yards, three touchdowns and only one interception. After stepping in for quarterback Nick Jeanty against then-No. 13 Ole Miss, Allen is now 30-of-51 for 308 yards this season.

Larry Rose III led NM State in both rushing and receiving. The sophomore ran 13 times for 83 yards and had five receptions for 31 yards to amass 113 all-purpose yards. Rose III now has 687 rushing yards on 93 carries through six games to rank first on the team. He is also third on the team in recep-tions with 15 for 113 yards. Rose III has six rushing touchdowns.

Royce Caldwell led the Aggies in all-purpose yards with 130. The freshman has played in just four games after recovering from an injury prior to the season. He racked up 67 yards on only two catches, which included a 61-yard catch. Caldwell has 87 receiving yards this season. Additionally, Caldwell chipped in 63 kickoff return yards on four returns.

Derek Ibekwe continues to lead NM State in tackles after he tied a career-high 14 against Georgia Southern. He chipped in 1.0 tackles for loss and now has 4.5 tackles for loss this season. Overall, the sophomore has 57 tackles.

Jaguar News and Notes The Jaguars play for just the second time in the last 20 days when they face Texas State Saturday in San Marcos. … Since beginning Sun Belt Conference play in 2012, USA is 2-3 when coming off an open weekend after earning a 30-27 victory over Georgia State last weekend with an extra week of prepa-ration. … The home team has won each of the first two meetings in the series, with both contests de-cided by four points or less; in fact, the outcome of both match-ups hasn’t been determined until the final seconds. … The Jags are 2-2 all-time in games played in Texas, though the last victory came in a 30-27, double-overtime decision at Texas-San Antonio on Oct. 8, 2011. … First, junior Gerald Everett caught a 10-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring for the Jaguars last time out against Arkan-sas State, his program record fourth straight contest he has reached the end zone with a reception. Later, in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, he supplied USA’s final points with a three yard touchdown run, marking the second straight outing that he has scored and second time this fall a Jag has crossed the goal line with both a run and a reception. On Wednesday, Everett was named to the John Mackey Award Midseason Watch List, making him 35 individuals in consideration for the award presented to the most outstanding collegiate tight end. … Kalen Jackson led South Alabama for the first time this season with a career-best 12 total stops against Arkansas State last Tuesday, recording a pair of tackles behind the line of scrimmage for the second time in as many games. The junior’s 10 solo tackles were the most recorded by a Jaguar this fall, while he became the first player from the USA defensive unit this year to collect multiple stops for loss in consecutive contests. Jackson was credited with a pair of stops on ASU’s opening possession of the game to help end a drive that began in Jaguar territory without giving up any points, as his efforts helped the Jags limit the Red Wolves below their season averages entering play in passing and total offense as well as yards per snap. … Sunanon didn’t miss a kick, connecting on a 37-yard field goal and making all four point-after-touchdown tries, and he also averaged 45.2 yards per punt against Arkansas State last time out. His field goal midway through the third quarter — the sixth time in as many outings this fall that he has converted at least one — not only pushed the USA lead back to a touchdown, it made him the first individual in program history to record 200 points in a career. And after punting just once in his first 30 games with the pro-gram, the junior took over those duties in the middle of the second quarter and proceeded to hit five kicks of 40 or more yards including a 52-yard effort that was the longest in the game for either team.
