The Golden Hurricane was nearly unstoppable on offense last fall, and if Coach Todd Graham can find a quarterback to replace Paul Smith, the team should not miss a beat. Tulsa is the overwhelming favorite in the West Division, although Houston, led by the new coach Kevin Sumlin, could reach a bowl game. Texas-El Paso, which struggled through an uncharacteristic 4-8 campaign in 2007, will be improved. Although Southern Methodist went 0-8 in the conference, the former Hawaii coach June Jones will transform the Mustangs into a conference contender in no time. In the East, Central Florida will have a hard time repeating as champion without running back Kevin Smith. It looks as if Memphis and Southern Mississippi are the teams to beat in the East. Southern Miss seeks to update its offense with the new coach Larry Fedora, who was Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator. PLAYERS YOU SHOULD KNOW Rice receiver Jarrett Dillard holds the program's records for receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. East Carolina safety Van Eskridge led the Pirates with 104 tackles in 2007. Tulsa returns three 1,000-yard receivers: Brennan Marion, Trae Johnson and Charles Clay. Marion averaged 31.9 yards a catch. Mon, 25 Aug 2008 06:36:58 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/312194 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/312194
