Week 11 of play in Conference USA featured a back-and-forth thriller that saw Jacksonville State complete a Hail Mary pass to tie the game at the end of regulation – only to see the PAT potential winner of the missed match.

Unfortunately for Sonny Cumbie’s team, after holding off by two scores, Louisiana Tech fell in overtime, 44-37. The win brings the Gamecocks to 5-0 in league play, while the Bulldogs face their fourth straight losing season after falling to 3-6.

Kennesaw State fell in double overtime to UTEP, 43-35.

However, the major story is the firing of Owls head coach Brian Bohanon, who was the program’s only head coach in its 10-season existence. The firing comes as something of a surprise, after Bohanon had success during Kennesaw State’s FCS run and the program upset Liberty with two one-score losses in the last month of play.

Overall, not much movement in our power rankings as Jax State, Liberty and Western Kentucky all pick up wins that keep them in place while Sam Houston was on a bye week. Scotty Walden’s Miners move one more place into last place with victory against the Owls.
