Interesting week in the C-USA as far as match ups this weekend. Some obvious blow-outs, to a couple of toss-up games and huge match up in the west race. The standings and rankings remain at a stand still as we head into the last two weeks of C-USA football before the C-USA championship. Busy week here at the Rush, will continue with the captions next week. Enjoy!
