Two East Carolina defensive starters ineligible for Birmingham Bowl
The program announced Sunday that nose tackle Terry Williams and safety Domonique Lennon have been declared ineligible and won’t be able to play against the Gators on Jan. 3.
“While we are disappointed for Terry and Domonique, we expect everyone to succeed with the support system we have in place for our program,” head coach Ruffin McNeill said. “We talk about being responsible on and off the field as one of our core values, and when certain expectations are not met, no individual is above being held accountable.”
This is an unfortunate way to end the career or Williams, a 6-foot-1, 353-pound fifth-year senior. Williams returned from a knee injury to start eight games and appear in 10 games overall for the Pirates this season. He registered 34 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss this season and earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors.
Lennon, a junior, started all 12 games this season at free safety and was third on the team with 65 total tackles.
The 8-4 Pirates will face the 6-5 Gators at noon on Jan. 3.

N.C. State WR Bo Hines transferring to Ivy League school
North Carolina State WR Bo Hines announced Saturday that he'd be transferring to an Ivy League school.
Thank you Wolf Pack nation. http://pic.twitter.com/MWqyNeMw3K
— BoHines (@BoHines) December 27, 2014 Hines, a freshman, was N.C. State's leading receiver in 2014. He had 45 catches for 616 yards and was set to be an integral part of the Wolfpack offense in 2015.
He had three catches for 79 yards in the St. Petersburg Bowl win over UCF on Friday night.
Per the Charlotte Observer, Hines is expected to transfer to Yale.
“I truly enjoyed being Bo’s coach and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors,” N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said in a statement.
Hines was a three-star recruit from Charlotte, N.C., out of Charlotte Christian High School.
Sophomore TE David Grinnage and sophomore WR Bra'Lon Cherry become the Wolfpack's leading returning receivers. Each had 27 catches in 2014 and Grinnage had 358 yards while Cherry had 354.

Miami RB Duke Johnson announces he's heading to NFL draft
A day after the Hurricanes lost to South Carolina in the Independence Bowl, Johnson announced that he'd be heading to the NFL draft.
"I will be going to the NFL next year," Johnson said via CaneSport.com. "I think at this stage in my life, I'm at the stage in the NFL where backs don't get too much value. I think it's best and get a jump while I can. It's what is best for me and my family."
He also said the decision was for his grandmother, a woman who has been an integral part of Johnson's life.
"At the end of the day everything I do is for her and my grandmother who has sacrificed so much," Johnson said. "This decision is made for them, too, just to help them out and put them in the best situation."
Johnson leaves Miami as the school's all-time leading rusher, a remarkable feat when you consider the likes of Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Edgerrin James and Frank Gore have all come through Miami in recent memory. But none of those players had the career record that Johnson broke this season. It was previously held by Ottis Anderson.
Johnson finishes his career with 3.519 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns. He had 1,652 yards in 2014 and 10 touchdowns. He likely would have close to 4,000 career yards if it wasn't for a broken ankle he suffered against Florida State in 2013. The injury ended his season.
A likely mid-round pick, Johnson had 24 carries for 132 yards against South Carolina. He joins an impressive list of underclassmen running backs who have declared for the 2015 NFL draft. Before Johnson's decision, Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon, Boise State's Jay Ajayi and Georgia's Todd Gurley all said they were going pro.

Texas Bowl: It's a Southwest Conference matchup of 6-6 teams
Texas Bowl
Arkansas (6-6) vs. Texas (6-6)
Houston
Dec 29, 2014
If you have to pit two 6-6 teams against each other, you might as well do it with a historical rivalry in mind.
Texas and Arkansas are two former Southwest Conference rivals that used to engage in some epic games, but the two teams haven’t played since 2008. However, this game has the potential to get Arkansas on the right side of this rivalry after losing the last two in the series.
And Arkansas has to be feeling pretty confident after winning two of its final three — both wins against to 25 teams — become bowl eligible.
Running backs Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins have both rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season and are responsible for 23 of the Razorbacks’ 30 touchdowns. The strong running game has taken some of the pressure off quarterback Brandon Allen. Allen is coming into the game recovering from a hip injury he suffered against on Nov. 22 against Ole Miss. He played the following week against Missouri, but was clearly hobbled. Coach Bret Bielema said Allen is completely healthy heading into this contest.
The Arkansas offense should have a major advantage against a Texas offense that has struggled all season. Quarterback Tyrone Swoopes has thrown 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and eight of those interceptions have come in losses. He’s coming off a game where he threw a career-high four interceptions in a 48-10 rout by TCU. Swoopes will face a similarly tough defense in Arkansas, which ranks 17th in country allowing just 20.3 points per game.
There’s no doubt both teams are looking for a win to propel their respective squads into a better 2015. Both of these programs are in a rebuilding phase and a win in the Texas Bowl could be a sign of positive things to come.
Vegas odds: Arkansas (-6.5)
FUN FACTArkansas faced eight teams ranked in the AP Top 25 and though the Razorbacks only won two of those games, it was only outscored 177-165. Only two of the losses against a ranked opponents were by more than a touchdown.
PREDICTIONS
Graham: Arkansas was so close to being a 10-win team this season that it’s difficult to pick against them. The Razorbacks offense is better than Texas’ and I don’t think the defense can keep the Longhorns in the game forever.Arkansas 35, Texas 17.
Nick: How can Bret Bielema keep trolling Texas and Charlie Strong? Maybe he'll run a five-wide empty backfield set on the first drive? That'd be awesome. Arkansas is the better team here, and as long as they avoid a costly mistake (which is a huge if) the Hogs win. Arkansas 26, Texas 20
Sam: Arkansas plays an old-school brand of football that was really effective late in the year. If the Razorbacks can get out to an early lead and force Tyrone Swoopes to throw more than he likes, Bret Bielema's team should be able to win the game. Arkansas 20, Texas 13.
