  SEPT 9 LONE STAR OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Daniel McCants, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology, RB, Killeen, Texas, Killeen HS,...In his debut as the lead running back in the Tarleton offense, McCants did not disappoint. The senior from Killeen took his first carry of the season 48 yards for a touchdown to spark a record-setting night for the Texan offense in a 37-26 road win at FCS Stephen F. Austin Saturday night.

McCants followed up his big run with an even bigger one later in the quarter as he broke free for a 99-yard touchdown run for his second score of the night. For the game, McCants totaled 179 yards on 11 carries, averaging 16.3 yards per trip.

It also tied the Lone Star Conference and NCAA Division II record. - Lone Star Conference Football

  Gaej Walker ran for a touchdown, Steven Duncan passed for another and the Western Kentucky defense made a big goal-line stand as the Hilltoppers defeated Florida International 20-14 in a Conference USA opener on Saturday. Late in the fourth quarter with WKU leading 20-14, FIU had 2nd-and-goal from the 2-yard line. WKU defensive back Dionte Ruffin hit Panthers quarterback Kaylan Wiggins in the backfield, forcing a fumble. Wiggins recovered the ball at the 16 but was attended to on the field after the play and was removed from the game. James Morgan, who had started the game, then threw incomplete on third and fourth downs. Western Kentucky took over and was able to run out the clock after gaining one first down.

Duncan threw 8 yards to Jahcour Pearson for a touchdown to open the scoring. FIU tied it later in the first quarter when Richard Dames scored on an 80-yard return after interception of a Duncan pass. Walker, who gained 100 yards on 27 carries, ran 2 yards for a touchdown and WKU led 14-7 at halftime. The Hilltoppers allowed just 14 first downs, 217 yards and one offensive touchdown, a 15-yard run by Napoleon Maxwell in the third quarter that made the score 17-14 in favor of Western Kentucky. Cory Munson added his second field goal of the game, a 44-yarder early in the fourth quarter. Duncan completed 19 of 33 passes for 241 yards with the one touchdown and two interceptions. Morgan was 3 of 11 for 25 yards; Wiggins 2 of 6 for 41 yards. - AP College Football
