FBC–MIAMI-OKLAHOMA RIVALRY
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Jamelle Holieway has his wardrobe all set for Saturday. He’ll be wearing a shirt that says “Redemption.” It’s been two decades since Miami and Oklahoma starred in an epic rivalry, one to be reborn Saturday. The tradition-rich schools met in three straight seasons from 1985-1987, a stretch where Barry Switzer’s powerful Sooners went 33-0 against everyone else – and 0-3 against Jimmy Johnson’s brash Hurricanes. By Tim Reynolds.
FBC–CARNEGIE TECH’S UPSET
PITTSBURGH – At least Lloyd Carr attended Michigan’s unimaginable loss to Appalachian State. In 1926, during the greatest college football upset of that time, Knute Rockne was so confident that unbeaten Notre Dame would easily defeat Carnegie Tech that he watched another game that day as a favor to his agent. By Alan Robinson.

BC-FBC–APP ST-NEXT UP
HICKORY, N.C. – Appalachian State’s first opponent after its upset of Michigan might need a miracle just to hang with the Mountaineers. Good thing for Division II Lenoir-Rhyne that coach Fred Goldsmith has made a career out of achieving unthinkable results – he once led perennially lousy Duke and Rice to winning seasons. Now Lenior-Rhyne hopes a win over Appalachian State could make the Bears the nation’s next small-school sweethearts. By Joedy McCreary.

NEW YORK – Terry Bowden wants to get back in the game. Out of coaching since leaving Auburn in 1998, Bowden wants to lead a program and hopes to be back on the sideline for the 2008 season. And he has no intention of taking over for his father, Bobby, at Florida State. By College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo.
