Key matchups in each conference

LUT WILLIAMS An early MEAC showdown is set this week as BCSP No. 7 Hampton (2-1, 1-0) travels to Daytona Beach, Fla. Thursday to take on No. 2 Bethune-Cookman (1-1, 0-1). The 7:30 p.m. game will be televised live on ESPNU. Hampton already has a conference win over Florida A&M while Bethune-Cookman lost its only conference game to South Carolina State. This game is critical as Hampton does not play South Carolina State this season in the MEAC's revamped eight-game conference schedule. A Hampton win would give the Pirates victories over the teams other than South Carolina State considered contenders for the title and set up a big battle with nearby rival Norfolk State in two weeks. B-CU needs a win to keep from falling two games back in the MEAC race. Elsewhere in the MEAC, No. 1 South Carolina State (1-2, 1-0) hosts Delaware State in Orangeburg, SC (2 p.m.). No. 5 Norfolk State hosts Charleston Southern. Morgan State (1-2) and Howard (1-2, 01) meet Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at the Meadowlands in the New York Urban League Classic. That game will be carried on tape delay at 10:30 p.m. on ESPNU. New MEAC members Savannah State (0-3) and North Carolina Central (1-2) play their rst ofcial conference game Saturday in Durham, N.C. at 6 p.m. Florida A&M (1-2) is in Atlanta for the Bank

HOW THEY DID IT

Indiana 38, BCSP No. 1 South Carolina State 21 South Carolina State (1-2, 1-0 MEAC) played its second good game against a Div. I opponent but once again came up on the short end, this time in Bloomington, Indiana vs. the Hoosiers. SCSU QB Derrick Wiley threw for 211 yards and two TDs and ran for 60 yards to keep the Bulldogs close but they could not stop the balanced Hoosiers who amassed 288 passing and 279 rushing yards. SCSU WR Tyler McDonald had 7 receptions for 159 yards and a 69-yard TD catch. Trailing 24-7 at halftime, SCSU got within ten twice in the second half, at 24-14 late in the third quarter on Wiley's 8-yard TD pass to Caleb Davis and at 31-21 with 12:10 to play on a 21-yard TD run by freshman Jalen Simmons. Old Dominion 45, No. 3 Hampton 42 BCSP No. 3 Hampton (1-2, 1-0 MEAC) staged a shootout in Norfolk, Va. and came up just three points short. The Pirates totalled 397 yards to 391 for ODU. HU QB David Legree threw for 260 yards and 1 TD and ran for 60 yards and another TD. No. 7 Alabama State 31, No. 4 Grambling State 17 Alabama State (2-1, 2-0 SWAC) broke from a 10-10 tie at the end of the third quarter scoring three quick fourth-quarter touchdowns to knock off Grambling (1-2, 1-1 SWAC) in Montgomery, Ala. ASU back-up QB Greg Jenkins (7-12-1, 59 yards) hit Nick Andrews (7 receptions, 159 yards, 2 TDs) with his second TD from 15 yards out with 10:01 left completing a 7- play, 51-yard drive to put Andrews ASU up 17-10. Jennings then scored on a 16-yard run less than a minute later, two plays after a Kejuan Riley interception. Three plays after that score, Riley picked off another pass returning it to the Grambling 3. ASU RB Quenda McKibbon scored from there on the following play. Norfolk State 23, Howard 9 Norfolk State QB Chris Walley (17-23-1) threw for 239 yards and 2 TDs and the Spartans (2-1, 1-0 MEAC) got three eld goals to get past Howard (1-2, 0-1). Victor Hairston (4 receptions, 59 yards) had a 21-yard rst-quarter TD reception and Keith Johnson hauled in a 44-yard fourth quarter catch for a score. Placekicker Ryan Estep hit eld goals of 26 and 38 yards while E. Goldeberg hit a 51-yarder. Howard QB Greg McGhee threw for 118 yards (18 of 38) with 1 TD and ran 14 times for 100 yards.

of America Classic (3:30 p.m.) at the Georgia Dome vs. Southern (1-2). The game will be carried live on the Versus TV network. In the CIAA, Northern Division leader Bowie State (3-0, 2-0 CIAA N) travels to Richmond to face Virginia Union (2-2, 0-1) in a key divisional matchup at 1 p.m. to be carried live on the CIAA TV Network. Lincoln (1-2, 1-1 N), who got its rst CIAA win last week over Va. Union, comes to Durham, N.C. to meet Saint Augustine's (1-2, 0-1 S). South Division leader Winston-Salem State (3-0, 2-0), averaging a black-college high of 48.0 points per game and up to third in the BCSP Top Ten, puts its unbeaten record on the line at home vs. Fayetteville State (0-3). WSSU entered the AFCA NCAA Div. II poll this week at No. 23. Also, defending CIAA champion Shaw (0-3) will be looking for its rst win hosting Elizabeth City State (2-2, 0-1 E) in Durham. In the SWAC showcase, defending East Division champ Alabama State (2-1, 2-0) and head coach Reggie Barlow, coming off a big win over Grambling last week that vaulted the Hornets to No. 4, is at No. 6 and undefeated Jackson State (3-0, 1-0) Saturday for a 4 p.m. start. ASU and JSU are currently atop the division race though JSU is ineligible for division or conference titles because of academic issues. That fact may add to the intensity and intrigue of this affair. Current West Division leader ArkansasPine Bluff (2-0, 2-1), coming off a big win over Prairie View A&M, travels to St. Louis to face Clark Atlanta (2-1, 1-0) in the 3 p.m. game of the Gateway Classic doubleheader.

Lincoln (Mo.) faces Missouri Southern in the 11 a.m. contest. Clark Atlanta got a big SIAC win of its own last week knocking off Fort Valley State and now sits atop the new SIAC East. Elsewhere in the SWAC, Texas Southern (1-1, 0-1 W) hosts Alcorn State (1-2, 1-2 E) and Prairie View (1-2, 1-1 W) hosts winless Mississippi Valley State (0-3, 0-2 E). Another team making some noise in the SIAC is surprising Stillman (2-1, 1-0). The Tigers, under rst-year coach Teddy Keaton, opened the season with a win at home over defending CIAA champ Shaw and last week edged Kentucky State and now sit atop the new SIAC West Division. The Tigers will travel to former conference power but now winless Tuskegee (0-2) in a key 1 p.m. divisional showdown. Also in the SIAC, Morehouse (2-1) and Lane (2-1) hook up in their rst conference game in Jackson, Tenn. Albany State (2-1), down to 13th in the AFCA poll after losing to Valdosta State last week, is at Miles (1-2, 0-1). Benedict (1-2) hosts Fort Valley State (0-3, 0-1) Thursday in Columbia, S.C.

UNDER THE BANNER

WHAT'S GOING ON IN AND AROUND BLACK COLLEGE SPORTS

REDMAN

A key defensive starter and one of the heroes of Super Bowl XLV for the Green Bay Packers is out for the season. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy says that safety Nick Collins, a seven-year veteran safety out of Bethune-Cookman and three-time Pro Bowler, will miss the remainder of the year with a neck injury COLLINS suffered in the Packers 30-23 win over Carolina Sunday. Collins, 28, was hurt in the 4th quarter when he tried to tackle Panthers' running back Jonathan Stewart after Stewart caught the ball. Collins' helmet made contact with Stewart's leg. He had to be taken off the eld on a stretcher. He has not missed a game since 2007, when he suffered a knee injury. Collins has started in all but two of 97 contests since being drafted in the second round in 2005. Collins intercepted a Ben Roethlisberger pass and returned it 37 yards for a TD to put the Packers up 14-0 in Super Bowl XLV.
