Although I hate the Pittsburgh Steelers, got to give kudos to the Rice Kicker, Chris Boswell who hit 4/4 in FGs last night. Wonder what other CUSA alums are still in the hunt for the Super Bowl? Since a lot of these characters intro themselves by naming their High School (rather than their college affiliation); we don't always get any pub from their professional successes.

Covington obviously out. Sendejo (who said Rice in the intros) vs Willson today.

Alfred Morris of Florida Atlantic (Washington) might be the highest profile guy out of the league in the playoffs? New England has some CUSA guys on defense and special teams. Pittsburgh has some other CUSA guys include Blake, one of their better defensive backs, out of UTEP.

I wonder why so many guys mention their high school (or some weird other abbreviation) instead of the college now? Personally, I think they should just plug their twitter feed when they introduce themselves, if that's what they're into.

Marshall still has Aaron Dobson (WR) and Darryl Roberts (DB) on the Patriots, and center Doug Legursky on the Steelers still alive in the chase for the ring.


Aaron Dobson reference allows me to throw out this highlight - College Football's Catch of the Year in 2011.

Tech has 2-time Ray Guy award winner Ryan Allen for the Patriots and 2014 Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl MVP Houston Bates with Washington.

MT has Josh Walker playing for the Packers

Almo should get some good playing time today.

Collins (NE) from Southern Miss is the only all-pro selection I see.

I still hate the Steelers lately for cutting Hrapmann last pre-season, when he was out-kicking the veteran they had at the time, both in terms of accuracy and distance.

UAB has Joe Webb with the Panthers and JJ Nelson with the Cardinals.

He should of received a Pro Bowl nod for his special teams play. Has had an outstanding year in that aspect.

We had Robert Rodriguez on staff with the Vikings. Too bad it's over for him this year with the loss.

ODU has Rick Lovato, long snapper for the Green Bay Packers. We also had Taylor Heinicke for the vikes but hes 3rd string and didn't dress all season...

Forgot UAB also has Kennard Backman with the Packers and Chris Hubbard with the Steelers.

4 UAB players in the NFL playoffs.
