  SEPT 20 CONFERENCE USA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: UTSA DL Trumane Bell II led a dominant defensive showing for UTSA in a 27-13 victory over Middle Tennessee in the Conference USA opener on Saturday at the Alamodome. The Dallas native registered four tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a pair of sacks, two quarterback hurries and a forced fumble to help the Roadrunners hold the Blue Raiders to 199 yards of offense and keep them off the scoreboard until the final three and a half minutes of the game. Bell posted a sack in the second quarter that was a loss of 11 yards and then had a strip-sack early in the fourth quarter that resulted in a 3-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Lorenzo Dantzler. Bell and the UTSA defense yielded only eight rushing yards to the Blue Raiders, tied for the third-fewest allowed in a game in program history. The Roadrunners currently rank 10th in the nation in total defense with a conference-best 244.3 yards per game. - Conference USA Football

  SEPT 13 CONFERENCE USA SPECIAL TEAMS OF THE WEEK: UTSA PR Sheldon Jones returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown to start the scoring for UTSA in a 54-0 rout of Lamar on Saturday night at the Alamodome. After the defense forced a punt on the Cardinals' opening possession, the senior fielded the ball off one bounce and dashed 76 yards to paydirt to hand the Roadrunners the lead just three minutes into the contest. Jones' punt return was the second in UTSA's 11-year history, as he joins Kenny Harrison - who had a 79-yarder vs. Texas State in 2012 - as the only Roadrunners to return a punt for a score. He is one of 11 FBS players to return a punt for a TD this season. - Conference USA Football

  As impressive as UTSA was on Saturday in beating Illinois 37-30, you'd never guess the Roadrunners' football program is only a decade old. Or that it was UTSA's first time facing a Big Ten opponent. "I'm just so thrilled for my kids," UTSA coach Jeff Traylor said. "We've been together 21 months now, and they've believed in us since the day we got here. I might seem like I'm a little cocky. I'm really not." He had reason to be.

UTSA never trailed in its season opener as Frank Harris was 20 of 32 for 280 yards and a touchdown and ran for a second score. Sincere McCormick carried 31 times for 117 yards and Brenden Brady ran 11 times for 67 yards and two touchdowns. Zakhari Franklin caught 10 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown for the Roadrunners. Artur Sitkowski was 22 of 42 passing for 266 yards and 3 touchdowns for Illinois. Reggie Love III rushed for 39 yards. Sitkowski got his first start for Illinois with Brandon Peters is out with a left, non-throwing shoulder injury. - UTSA/AP College Football

  For LSU tailback John Emery Jr., it was virtually love at first sight when he met new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz last January. "He said I can be just like Christian McCaffrey," Emery said of the versatile Carolina Panthers running back who rushed for 1,387 yards and caught 116 passes for 1,005 yards in a Pro Bowl season in 2019. A year later, he became the highest-paid running back in NFL history in 2020 with a four-year, $64 million contract. "Coach Peetz actually showed me clips of Christian as soon as he came in," Emery said. "And me seeing that, I just knew it was going to be a perfect fit," Emery said.

Emery hopes to be a dual-threat like McCaffrey, who became just the third back in NFL history to gain more than 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in 2019. "Coach Peetz says I kind of remind him of Christian McCaffrey," he said. So far, though, Emery's career is not close to that of McCaffrey, who set the NCAA record for most all-purpose yards in a season at Stanford with 3,864 in 2015. As a freshman reserve in 2019, Emery gained only 188 yards on 39 carries while catching six passes for 60 yards. In 2020, he started three games and gained 378 yards on 75 carries while catching 14 passes for 73 yards. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser
