Gibbs–Thomson equation
|This article may be in need of reorganization to comply with Wikipedia's layout guidelines. (October 2014)
- The Gibbs–Thomson Effect, in common physics usage, refers to variations in vapor pressure or chemical potential across a curved surface or interface. The existence of a positive interfacial energy will increase the energy required to form small particles with high curvature, and these particles will exhibit an increased vapor pressure. See Ostwald–Freundlich equation.
- More specifically, the Gibbs–Thomson effect refers to the observation that small crystals are in equilibrium with their liquid melt at a lower temperature than large crystals. In cases of confined geometry, such as liquids contained within porous media, this leads to a depression in the freezing point / melting point that is inversely proportional to the pore size, as given by the Gibbs–Thomson equation.
- The technique is closely related to using gas adsorption to measure pore sizes, but uses the Gibbs–Thomson equation rather than the Kelvin equation. They are both particular cases of the Gibbs Equations of Josiah Willard Gibbs: the Kelvin equation is the constant temperature case, and the Gibbs–Thomson equation is the constant pressure case.[1]
- This behaviour is closely related to the capillary effect and both are due to the change in bulk free energy caused by the curvature of an interfacial surface under tension.[2][3]
- The original equation only applies to isolated particles, but with the addition of surface interaction terms (usually expressed in terms of the contact wetting angle) can be modified to apply to liquids and their crystals in porous media. As such it has given rise to various related techniques for measuring pore size distributions, see Themoporometry and Cryoporometry.
- The Gibbs–Thomson effect lowers both melting and freezing point, and also raises boiling point. However, simple cooling of an all-liquid sample usually leads to a state of non-equilibrium super cooling and only eventual non-equilibrium freezing. To obtain a measurement of the equilibrium freezing event, it is necessary to first cool enough to freeze a sample with excess liquid outside the pores, then warm the sample until the liquid in the pores is all melted, but the bulk material is still frozen. Then, on re-cooling the equilibrium freezing event can be measured, as the external ice will then grow into the pores.[4][5]
This is in effect an "ice intrusion" measurement (cf. Mercury Intrusion), and as such in part may provide information on pore throat properties. The melting event can be expected to provide more accurate information on the pore body.
Gibbs–Thomson equation for particles[edit]
For an isolated spherical solid particle of diameter in its own liquid, the Gibbs-Thomson Equation for the structural melting point depression can be written:[6]
- TmB=Bulk Melting temperature
- σsl = solid–liquid interface energy (per unit area)
- Hf = bulk enthalpy of fusion (per gram of material)
- ρs = density of solid
The "4" in the above equation comes from the spherical geometry of the solid-liquid interface.
Note: is used for the pore size rather than for a number of reasons :
- It is consistent with the original published notation.
- The equation can be used with planar geometry (with a change of constant).
- For consistency with the related Strange–Rahman–Smith equation where the symbol is used for the differential operator.
Gibbs–Thomson equation for liquids in pores[edit]
Very similar equations may be applied to the growth and melting of crystals in the confined geometry of porous systems. However the geometry term for the crystal-liquid interface may be different, and there may be additional surface energy terms to consider, which can be written as a wetting angle term . The angle is usually considered to be near 180°. In cylindrical pores there is some evidence that the freezing interface may be spherical, while the melting interface may be cylindrical, based on preliminary measurements for the measured ratio for in cylindrical pores.[7]
Thus for a spherical interface between a non-wetting crystal and its own liquid, in an infinite cylindrical pore of diameter , the structural melting point depression is given by:[8]
Simplified Gibbs-Thomson equation[edit]
The Gibbs–Thomson equation may be written in a compact form:[9]
where the Gibbs-Thomson Coefficient assumes different values for different liquids[6][7] and different interfacial geometries (spherical/cylindrical/planar).[7]
Where : is a geometric constant dependent on the interfacial shape,
- is a constant involving parameters specific to the crystalline solid of solid–liquid system, and
- is an interfacial energy term.
As early as 1886, Robert von Helmholtz (son of the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz) had observed that finely dispersed liquids have a higher vapor pressure.[11] By 1906, the German physical chemist Friedrich Wilhelm Küster (1861-1917) had predicted that since the vapor pressure of a finely pulverized volatile solid is greater than the vapor pressure of the bulk solid, then the melting point of the fine powder should be lower than that of the bulk solid.[12] Investigators such as the Russian physical chemists Pavel Nikolaevich Pavlov (1872-1953) and Peter Petrovich von Weymarn (1879-1935), among others, searched for and eventually observed such melting point depression. By 1932, Czech investigator Paul Kubelka had observed that the melting point of iodine in activated charcoal is depressed as much as 100 °C.[13] Investigators recognized that the melting point depression occurred when the change in surface energy was significant compared to the latent heat of the phase transition, which condition obtained in the case of very small particles.[14]
Neither Josiah Willard Gibbs nor William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) derived the Gibbs–Thomson equation.[15] Also, although many sources claim that British physicist J. J. Thomson derived the Gibbs–Thomson equation in 1888, he did not.[16] Early in the 20th century, investigators derived precursors of the Gibbs–Thomson equation.[17] However, in 1920, the Gibbs–Thomson equation was first derived in its modern form by two researchers working independently: Friedrich Meissner, a student of the Estonian-German physical chemist Gustav Tammann, and Ernst Rie (1896-1921), an Austrian physicist at the University of Vienna.[18][19] These early investigators did not call the relation the "Gibbs-Thomson" equation. That name was in use by 1910 or earlier;[20] it originally referred to equations concerning the adsorption of solutes by interfaces between two phases — equations that Gibbs and then J. J. Thomson derived.[21] Hence, in the name "Gibbs-Thomson" equation, "Thomson" refers to J. J. Thomson, not William Thomson (Lord Kelvin).
In 1871, William Thomson published an equation describing capillary action and relating the curvature of a liquid-vapor interface to the vapor pressure:[22]
- = vapor pressure at a curved interface of radius
- = vapor pressure at a flat interface () =
- = surface tension
- = density of vapor
- = density of liquid
- , = radii of curvature along the principal sections of the curved interface.
In his dissertation of 1885, Robert von Helmholtz (son of German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz) showed how the Ostwald-Freundlich equation
could be derived from Kelvin's equation.[23][24] The Gibbs–Thomson equation can then be derived from the Ostwald-Freundlich equation via a simple substitution using the integrated form of the Clausius–Clapeyron relation:[25]
The Gibbs–Thomson equation can also be derived directly from Gibbs' equation for the energy of an interface between phases.[26][27]
It should be mentioned that in the literature, there is still not agreement about the specific equation to which the name "Gibbs-Thomson equation" refers. For example, in the case of some authors, it's another name for the "Ostwald-Freundlich equation"[28] — which, in turn, is often called the "Kelvin equation" — whereas in the case of other authors, the "Gibbs-Thomson relation" is the Gibbs free energy that's required to expand the interface,[29] and so forth.

Apparently both equations were eventually known as "the Gibbs-Thomson equation".

DATE & TIME: Saturday, December 22, 1:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Stegeman Coliseum (10,523) -- Athens, Georgia. Television: FSN. Home Record: USC 3-3, Georgia 3-3. Away Record: USC 0-2, Georgia 0-2. Neutral Record: USC 1-2, Georgia 0-2. Conference Record: USC 0-0, Georgia 0-0. Series Record: Georgia leads, 2-0.
GAME NOTES: The USC Trojans will try for their first road win of the season on Saturday afternoon, as they take on the Georgia Bulldogs at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens.
The Trojans' campaign started off promising enough, as they posted wins in three of their first four games, including a 59-53 overtime triumph against Texas in the Maui Invitational. Since then however, USC has been reeling with six losses in the its last seven games. It closed out a three-game homestand on Thursday night with a disappointing 61-54 setback at the hands of UC Irvine.
Georgia's success this season has been fleeting, as it has already recorded losing streaks of three- and four-games. The Bulldogs are in the midst of a season-long, six-game homestand, and after losing to Iona (81-78) and Georgia Tech (62-54) to start, they bounced back with a 58-49 victory against Mercer on Tuesday.
The Bulldogs have captured both previous meetings with USC, most recently claiming a 63-59 win in Los Angeles last December.
A staple to USC's game plan in recent years has been its stout play at the defensive end of the floor, and that has continued this season as it allows just 63.5 ppg on 40.5 percent field goal efficiency. The problem for the Trojans is they oftentimes can't put enough points on the board to take advantage (63.2 ppg). Thursday night's game was one example, as they shot just 40.4 percent from the field and committed 16 turnovers in the seven-point loss to UCI. Omar Oraby (12 points) and Eric Wise (10 points) were the only Trojans to score in double figures, although Byron Wesley narrowly missed a double- double with nine points and nine rebounds. Wise is the team's leading scorer with 10.6 ppg and he does so on a very impressive 53.4 percent from the field. J.T. Terrell adds 10.3 ppg on a much-less impressive showing from the floor (.318). Jio Fontan (8.5 ppg) is one of the Pac-12's most efficient point guards, dishing out 59 assists against 33 turnovers.
Surprisingly enough, Georgia has been one of the few major programs that has put up fewer points per game than USC, as it scores a dismal 59.0 ppg on 39.8 percent shooting from the floor. The team's struggles continued against Mercer, as it made good on just 19-of-44 field goal attempts (.432), but its effort at the defensive end was spectacular, as it held the Bears to 31.4 percent shooting in the nine-point win. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope continued his impressive season, logging 17 points, nine rebounds and three steals, while Charles Mann added 10 points, seven boards and five assists. Caldwell-Pope is the Bulldogs' only consistent option, as he nets 17.4 ppg, albeit on just 39.0 percent shooting from the field. Caldwell-Pope also leads the team in rebounding (7.4 rpg), steals (2.6 spg) and 3-point baskets (28). Nemanja Djurisic is the club's next-best scoring option, but he nets just 7.2 ppg.
Chances are this game will be a defensive struggle throughout, as neither team has shown the ability to score with any degree of consistency. The Bulldogs have the game's best playmaker in Caldwell-Pope, as well as the homecourt advantage, giving them the nod.

I think the recipe is great but when I first made this pound cake it came out a little heavy so when I tried it a second time I added honey . It made it sweeter and a little lighter .

Rayz Gameday: 12.17.06
Opponent: Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees
When: 4 p.m. today
Where: Dodge Arena, Hidalgo
Radio: KSIX-AM 1230
Next home game: Saturday vs. Odessa
Records: Rayz 11-10-4 (26 points, second in Southeast); Killer Bees 11-10-2 (24 points, third in Southeast).
Season series: Killer Bees lead 3-0-1 (1 overtime win).
Last meeting: Rayz won 3-2 in a shootout on Dec. 8 at Hidalgo.
All-time series: Killer Bees lead
22-11-7 (4 overtime/shootout wins).
The scoop
The Rayz had Saturday off after Friday's dramatic 3-2 shootout victory at home against Lubbock. Corpus Christi has won three of its past four games and picked up points in four of five. The Rayz continue to live on the edge, with 15 of their 25 games decided by one goal. Corpus Christi is 8-3-4 in those games. The Rayz have allowed three goals or fewer in six consecutive games, but haven't scored more than three goals in the past eight games. Kevin Watters, who scored twice on Friday, is starting to find his scoring touch, with four goals in his past six games. After Saturday's 4-2 loss at Austin, the Bees have dropped three straight games and five of their past six.

Camping de Molenslag: Good Campsite, shame about the surroundings
Two of us plus dog stayed in one of the Holzhuette.
The hut is spacious, basic but clean, with sink, gas stove, fridge and kitchen utensils. Has one set of bunk beds and sofa bed. You can pull up your car to load and unload, and the parking spaces are close. You can walk to the beach in half a minute from the edge of the campsite over some steps which are wide and not too steep.
The roof of the hut is not wood, but canvas, which makes the hut cold, but the heater soon makes the place cosy again. We were slightly cold in the night though, because we didn't want to leave the gas heater on, but the temperature outside was particularly cold. I imagine through most of the summer it would be fine.
We were here slightly outside the peak season, so we didn't barbeque or spend much time out and about in the campsite, but there did seem to be a play area and a decent looking volleyball space.
The toilets and showers are clean, the showers are also hot and free to use without coins or tokens. Wifi is 15 euros per week, and works well - just be aware that one password only works on one machine, this is obvious I suppose, but we have 2 laptops and were caught out on the first night.
Staff are friendly and helpful, and speak at least English and German as welll as Dutch.
Anyone visiting should be aware that there are a lot of guests with dogs on the campsite, although they were well-behaved and quiet when we were here and the site is very clean - possibly the only turd-free area in the whole region (see my warnings in the other sections).
Very close to the beach.
Allows dogs.

Monster beachcamping: campground at the beach
This is a simple shortstay camping that also offers few caravans for hikers. Reservations are in that case in order. The campground has not that perfect facilities, but - as it also is ment for - it is okay for short stay.
The location however is perfect. Direct next to the beach on the other side of the one row of dunes that protects the land from the sea. The Hague is only 10 minutes away and Rotterdam takes half an hour (by car).

Braves stumble early, lose to Dodgers 6-1 in NLDS
ATLANTA The Atlanta Braves flopped and staggered their way to another October debacle.
With Dan Uggla watching from the dugout, this one was downright ugly.
Clayton Kershaw struck out 12 during seven dominant innings, Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers blew out the bumbling Braves 6-1 in Game 1 of the NL division series Thursday night.
The Braves haven't won a postseason series since 2001, losing seven in a row, and this is going to be another short stay if they don't turn it around quickly in the best-of-five series.
Kris Medlen fired up the less-than-capacity crowd of 43,021 by striking out the side in the first inning, but it was all downhill from there for the Atlanta starter.
The Dodgers had a 5-0 lead by the fourth inning and put it on cruise control with Kershaw on the mound.
"I think it took us about two or three innings to settle down a little bit," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
By then, it was over.
The Braves struck out 15 times in all - not all that surprising, really, for a team that tied for the third-highest total during the regular season.
Game 2 is Friday night at Turner Field, with Zack Greinke (15-4) starting for the Dodgers against Mike Minor (13-9).
Kershaw, who had a 1.83 ERA this year, limited the Braves to Chris Johnson's run-scoring single with two outs in the fourth. That just seemed to make the pitcher mad - he struck out Andrelton Simmons to end Atlanta's only serious threat, and the next five Braves hitters for good measure.
Appropriately, Kershaw finished up by striking out the side in the seventh, matching his season high for Ks. He allowed just three hits.
"He's the best pitcher in baseball," Adrian Gonzalez said, "and he showed it tonight."
Uggla watched it all from the dugout. The three-time All-Star was left off the Braves' playoff roster after a dismal season in which he batted just .179 with a franchise-record 171 strikeouts.
He wasn't the only big-money flop for the Braves, who had to juggle their outfield because of B.J. Upton's season-long slump. After signing a five-year, $75.25 million deal during the offseason, he batted just .184 and was finally benched late in the year. Merely a backup in the playoffs, he took a called third strike as a pinch-hitter in the fifth and walked slowly toward the dugout to a chorus of boos.
Even though slugger Matt Kemp is out for the playoffs and Andre Ethier is hobbling with an injured ankle, the Dodgers had no trouble piling up runs against Medlen and the Braves.
The Atlanta starter, who came into the playoffs riding a five-game winning streak, gave up nine hits and five runs in four-plus innings. Medlen finally got the hook when he plunked Yasiel Puig with a pitch right between the shoulder blades.
"When you have an opposing pitcher on the mound who is as good as Kershaw, there's not a lot of room for error," Medlen said. "I had a lot of error tonight."

NCAA: Clint Hurtt misled probe
Updated: February 27, 2013, 9:52 AM ETBy Brett McMurphy | ESPN.com
Former Miami assistant coach Clint Hurtt allegedly provided false or misleading information during the NCAA's investigation into the Hurricanes' athletic department, according to public documents obtained by ESPN.
In its notice of allegations, the NCAA claims that, between August 2006 and April 2009, Nevin Shapiro provided at least $7,025 in impermissible supplemental compensation to Hurtt and another unidentified Miami volunteer recruiting assistant.
According to the NCAA, Hurtt received ...

2007 Memphis Tigers
After plummeting to 2-10 a year ago, the Tigers did rather well to finish with
seven wins, tie for second place in the Eastern Division, and qualify for a
fourth bowl game in the last five years. Memphis stayed above water behind the
nation's 13th-ranked passing attack and a knack for pulling out close
games, winning five by a field goal or less. The defense, however, was a
glaring and incessant liability, collecting just 15 sacks in 13 games, and
finishing near the bottom of Conference USA in just about every statistical
Offensive Player of the Year: QB Martin Hankins
Defensive Player of the Year: LB Jake Kasser
Biggest Surprise: In a crucial game for both programs, Memphis stunned
Southern Miss in Hattiesburg on Nov. 10, 29-26, climbing one step closer to a
berth in the New Orleans Bowl. The Tigers trailed by 12 late in the game, but
got a couple of Hankins touchdown passes in the waning minutes to pull out the
Biggest Disappointment: Memphis was a no-show on Oct. 13 against Middle
Tennessee State, losing badly to a mid-level Sun Belt program. The Tigers
managed just a single touchdown, the first time in 14 games that they'd been
held below 10 points.
Looking Ahead: Although head coach Tommy West has his sights set on
another bowl invitation in 2008, to get there, he'll need to completely recharge
the defense and find an adequate replacement for Hankins under center. A name
to monitor is Arkelon Hall, a JUCO transfer that was considered one of the
nation's brightest quarterback prospects when he originally signed to play for
Washington State in 2005.

Memphis 55 ... SMU 52 3OT
Memphis stuffed SMU on fourth and goal from the two in the
third overtime, and then Matt Reagan ended the thriller with a
32-yard field goal. Reagan had a shot to win it in regulation, but a
bobbled snap caused a 32-yard attempt to go wide. The two teams
traded field goals in the first overtime, Memphis scored first in
the second overtime on Martin Hankins' fourth touchdown pass of the
game on a six-yard throw to Greg Hinds, but SMU answered with a
one-yard Chris Butler scoring run. The two teams traded punches all
game long with SMU's Justin Willis putting on a show with four
touchdown passes and a 48-yard touchdown dash. The offenses combined
for 1,103 yards of total offense and 49 first downs.
Player of the game:
a losing cause, SMU QB Justin Willis completed 35 of 48 passes for
375 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions, and ran 23
times for 114 yards and a touchdown.
Stat Leaders: SMU - Passing: Justin Willis,
35-48, 375 yds, 4 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Justin Willis, 23-114, 1 TD. Receiving:
Emmanuel Sanders, 13-118, 3 TD
Memphis - Passing: Martin Hankins, 30-59, 336
yds, 4 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: T.J. Pitts, 19-110, 1 TD. Receiving: Steven
Black, 12-112
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Memphis flexed its offensive muscle against SMU, but the defense
went bye-bye in the wild shootout. It didn't matter as the Tigers
pulled off a key seventh win and will now be off to the New Orleans
Bowl to face either Troy or Florida Atlantic. If the offense is as
balanced as it's been the last few weeks, the Tigers should be able
to outgun their way to a win. This might not have been a special
season, but after last year's 2-10 debacle, going to a bowl is
Nov. 17
Memphis 25 ... UAB 9
Matt Reagan hit four field goals, Will Hudgens punched it in
from one-yard out, and Joseph Doss ran for a 20-yard touchdown as
Memphis cranked out 563 yards and had few problems in the win. UAB
only managed a field goal and a one-yard Brandon Thornton touchdown
run, but couldn't keep up with the Tiger offense. Jake Kasser and
LeRico Mathis combined for 25 tackles for the Tigers.
Player of the game:
Memphis RB Joseph Doss ran 19 times for 168 yards
and a touchdown
Stat Leaders: UAB - Passing: Sam Hunt, 11-19,
121 yds, 2 INT
Rushing: Joseph Webb, 9-44. Receiving: Frantell
Forrest, 7-48
Memphis - Passing: Martin Hankins, 14-26, 298
Rushing: Joe Doss, 19-168, 1 TD. Receiving: Duke Calhoun,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Now
that Memphis is bowl eligible, it's time to make a statement with a
win over SMU. The offense is cranking out yards in chunks, moving
the ball at will on UAB, but it needs to finish off drives better
than it did this week. Doing more on third downs will be a must in a
bowl game, which the Tigers will get to as long as they don't mail
it in against the Mustangs.
Nov. 10
Memphis 29 ... Southern Miss 26
Martin Hankins connected with Carlos Singleton on a 52-yard
touchdown pass with 1:04 to play, after getting the Tigers close
with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Earnest Williams with 4:21 to play,
to pull off the shocker. Southern Miss got two Justin Estes field
goals and an 82-yard Brandon Sumrall interception return for a
touchdown in the second half, but couldn't hold on late with the
Tigers holding on to the ball for 12:32 in the fourth. Hankins
finished with four touchdown passes, but Memphis only ran for 26
Player of the game:
Memphis QB Martin Hankins completed 35 of 48
passes for 396 yards and four touchdowns and two interceptions
Stat Leaders: Memphis - Passing: Martin
Hankins, 35-48, 396 yds, 4 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Joseph Doss, 13-13. Receiving: Duke Calhoun,
Southern Miss - Passing: Jeremy Young, 11-17,
123 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Damion Fletcher, 21-97, 1 TD. Receiving: Torris
Magee, 4-76, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... With
the shocking win over Southern Miss, Memphis is back on track for a
possible bowl bid. With few Conference USA teams to be eligible for
the spots. all the Tigers need to do is get by UAB and SMU, the
league's two worst teams, and it's off to a bowl game. Martin
Hankins continues to be as effective and productive as any quarter
back in the country, but it would be nice if he got more help from a
running game. Against the Blazers and Mustangs, he should be able to
bomb his way to wins.
Nov. 3
East Carolina 56 ... Memphis 40
East Carolina ran for 491 yards helped by 301 yards from Chris
Johnson along with four touchdowns. Jonson tore off scoring runs
from 16, 44, and 70 yards, and then put the game out of reach with a
50-yard dash late in the fourth. The Memphis defense couldn't slow
down the Pirates, but the offense exploded with Martin Hankins and
the passing game bombing away for 416 yards with four touchdown
passes. Down 21-6, the Tigers got back in the game with two Hankins
touchdown throws only to see ECU pull away with a 28-point third
quarter. The ECU passing game also got involved as Pat Pinkney threw
two touchdown passes in the third. In all, the two teams combined
for 1,134 yards of total offense.
Player of the
East Carolina RB
Chris Johnson ran 20 times for 301 yards and four touchdowns and
caught two passes for 12 yards..
Stat Leaders: East Carolina - Passing: Patrick
Pinkney, 8-16, 105 yds, 2 TD
Rushing: Chris Johnson, 20-301, 4 TD. Receiving:
Dwayne Harris, 4-26
Memphis - Passing: Martin Hankins, 34-60, 416
yds, 4 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Miguel Barnes, 5-42. Receiving: Duke Calhoun,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
The run defense got plowed over for
the second straight week allowing 301 rushing yards to Chris
Johnson after giving up 278 to Tulane's Matt Forte. Martin
Hankins has been amazing in an attempt to bomb the Tigers back
into games, but it wasn't enough this week. Still in the hunt
for a bowl spot, MU has to win two of its final three games. An
upset over Southern Miss would be a nice start, but to have any
shot, the run D will have to keep Damion Fletcher and the Golden
Eagles to under 200 yards on the ground.
Oct. 27
Memphis 28 ... Tulane 27
Duke Calhoun caught a five-yard touchdown pass with 36 seconds
to play to overcome a 278-yard rushing day from Tulane's Matt Forte.
The Green Wave got a Forte 51-yard touchdown dash in the second
quarter, and a one-yard score in the fourth for a 27-21 lead, but
the Tigers were able to go 80 yards in nine plays to get the win.
Earnest Williams scored twice for the Tigers including a 47-yard
pass play in the final moments of the first half.
Player of the
Memphis QB
Martin Hankins completed 25 of 38 passes for 355 yards and two
touchdowns with an interception
Stat Leaders: Memphis - Passing: Martin

For the second straight week, Martin
Hankins bailed out the defense with a big late drive. The defense
got ripped apart by Matt Forte and the Tulane running game, but
Hankins was able to keep pace with key throw after key throw when
the Tigers absolutely needed one. Now in range for bowl eligibility,
a win over East Carolina would do wonders. With three of the final
four games at home, there's no reason to not finish at least 6-6.

Memphis 38 ... Rice 35
Martin Hankins threw three touchdown passes, including a
45-yarder to Maurice Jones with just under six minutes to go, to
get by the Owls. Rice marched back with a 20-yard James Casey
touchdown catch, but down three, never got the ball back. Jarett
Dillard caught touchdown passes from five, nine, and 42 yards
out in the see-saw battle, while Hankins connected with Brett
Russell from ten yards out and Greg Hinds from six yards out,
and Joe Doss added a 15-yard touchdown run for the Tigers.
Memphis cranked out 571 yards to Rice's 418.

Memphis got a near perfect offensive
day against Rice, held the ball for 13:22 in the second quarter,
and 37:32 for the game, and still had to fight to the finish.
Joe Doss ran as well as he had all season long, and Martin
Hankins was on fire, mainly because he had ten days to throw the
ball. The lost season could quickly turn around against East
Carolina next week, but the defense has to be far tighter and
the offense has to keep exploding. This isn't a good enough team
to make a slew of mistakes and not get big offensive numbers.

Middle Tennessee 21 ... Memphis 7
DeMarco McNair ran for touchdowns from 55 yards and one yard,
and Dwight Dasher tore off a 61-yard scoring run as Middle Tennessee
ran for 260 yards in the win. Memphis managed a 19-yard Duke Calhoun

Where does Memphis go from here? Just
when it seemed like the Tigers were going to go on a big run and
turn its season around, it came up with a clunker against Middle
Tennessee and now has to win on the road at Rice and Tulane just to
get in range for a possible bowl bid. If the offense tanks like it
did this week, it's not going to happen. The running game never got
on track, and the passing game was inefficient and ineffective.
Eventually, the team will come up with a consistent stretch of
games. It just might be too late.

Memphis 24 ... Marshall 21
Playing just two days after the death of defensive tackle
Taylor Bradford, Memphis got three Matt Reagan field goals and two
second half touchdown passes from Will Hudgens to pull off the win.
The two teams traded scores throughout, with Marshall getting a
20-yard Cody Slate touchdown catch for its first points, and a

Obviously playing with a heavy heart, after the death of a teammate,
Memphis came up with a fine performance under the circumstances.
With Martin Hankins still suffering from a hip injury, Will Hudgens
picked a great time to play a tight, efficient game against
Marshall, bombing away all game long. With no running attack to help
him out, the offense was all on the passing game. With Middle
Tennessee, Rice and Tulane ahead, now is the time to go on a winning
streak and get the season started.
Sept. 27
Arkansas State 35 ... Memphis 31
Down 31-6, Arkansas State stormed back in the second half with
29 unanswered points, kicked off by an 89-yard Kevin Jones punt
return for a score. and followed up by three Corey Leonard touchdown
passes. The final score, on a one-yard throw to Preston Brown, came
midway through the fourth quarter, and then ASU held on with the
final Memphis drive stalling at midfield. The Tigers got an 80-yard
touchdown pass from Dave Thomas to Steven Black, and an 88-yard
fumble return for a touchdown from 300-pound defensive tackle
Freddie Barnett, but they couldn't get on the board in the second

Barring a miracle turnaround, the collapse against Arkansas State
might mean the end of the the Tommy West era. The Tigers blew a 31-6
lead with inefficient offense, and several bad plays along with
penalty after penalty after penalty. The defense wasn't awful, but
the entire team broke down with a special teams gaffe, rough
offensive play, and not enough key stops. A quarterback has to
emerge from the fray. Martin Hankins wasn't the answer this week.
Sept. 22
UCF 56 ... Memphis 20
UCF got up 49-0 by early in the third quarter helped by three
Kevin Smith touchdown runs and a 72-yard Kyle Israel pass to Kamar
Aikin, and then everyone took the rest of the game off. Memphis
scored some cosmetic points with three touchdown passes from three
different quarterbacks, but the damage had already been done. UCF
cranked out 313 rushing yards for the game, and was able to make it
a laugher in the second quarter helped by the special teams and
Memphis penalties setting up short touchdown drives.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... It
wasn't just that Memphis got blasted by UCF, it's that it wasn't
even a game. The MU passing attack failed to bomb its way back into
the game thanks to a great day from the Knight defense, while the
Tiger D struggled to hold up against the UCF O line. Watch out for
Arkansas State next week. If the Tigers can't figure out how to sell
out a little more to make a few key stops, it'll be a long day
against the Indian ground attack, if this game was any indication.
Sept. 15
Memphis 35 ... Jacksonville State 14
Memphis jumped out to a 14-0 first half lead on a five-yard
Miguel Barnes touchdown run and a 48-yard scoring play from Carlton
Robinzine, Jacksonville State started to come back on a two-yard
Anthony Jones score, but the Tigers answered as Martin Hankins
connected with Maurice Jones for a 58-yard touchdown just before
halftime. Hankins' third touchdown pass of the game, a 20-yard play
to Greg Hinds, gave the Tigers a comfortable lead. This was a
historic game, as it was the first time a female officiated a FCS

Tigers can be forgiven for not being razor-sharp against
Jacksonville State after last week's game against Arkansas State was
postponed. Even so, there was good offensive balance a tremendous
game from Martin Hankins, who spread the ball around well to a slew
of receivers. Also important was the work gotten in by the backup
running backs. In all, ten different Tigers got carries. Now the
offense will have to be better and more effective early against UCF
team that gave Texas all it could handle.
Sept. 1
Ole Miss 23 ... Memphis 21
In yet another great game before Memphis and Ole Miss, the
Rebel defense came through with a stop on a two-point conversion
attempt with :31 to play. Down 23-0 late in the third quarter,
Memphis came roaring back as Joe Doss ran for a one-yard score and
Matt Malouf ran for a four-yard touchdown before Martin Hankins
found Duke Calhoun for an eight-yard score in the final moments. The
Rebel offense struggled, but got a blocked punt for a score and a

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... It
took a while to get going against Ole Miss, but once the Tigers got down
23-0 and had to bomb away, QB Martin Hankins did a fantastic job of
rallying the team into a position to send the game into overtime. While
the Tigers came up just short, they showed great fight and have to try
to use the momentum to come up with wins over the next two weeks against
Arkansas State and Jacksonville State. However, to do anything in
Conference USA play, the running game has to get going, while the
defense has to play as well as it did against the Rebels.
Sept. 1 - Ole Miss
Offense: The offense needed more out of the running game
after a woeful 2005, and it got it with BenJarvus Green-Ellis coming up
with a 1,000-yard season as the workhorse for the offense. Now the
offense has to figure out how to score after averaging 15.7 points per
game (up from a whopping 13.45 per game in 2005). The passing game needs
a lot of work, and the hope will be for the young receiving corps to
step up and become passable. There will be a quarterback battle into the
fall with Brent Schaeffer needing to prove he can move the offense, or
he'll be unseated be Seth Adams, who's the more efficient passer. The
massive line should be better after years of seasoning.
Defense: This should've been the year when everything started to
come together for the Rebel defense, but the loss of all three starting
linebackers, along with some major uncertainty in the secondary, will
make this an inconsistent year, at least early on. The defensive line
will be the strength with end Marcus Tillman on the verge of stardom,
and the tackle combination of Peria Jerry and Jeremy Garrett to be among
the best in the league ... if they stay healthy. The secondary lost some
of its top safety prospects to the depleted linebacking corps, and the
corners have to be far better. Ole Miss only picked off three passes
last year. That can't happen again.
Sept. 8 – at Arkansas State
Offense: Run, run and run some more. At least that's what ASU has
done over the last several years, and it has the talent in the backfield
to do it again with speedy quarterback Corey Leonard leading a loaded
group of runners with several great backs to hand off to. Reggie Arnold
is the best of the bunch, but he's one of just four good options to
carry the load. Two problems with what ASU likes to do. 1. The line
needs major revamping losing three key players and 2) the receiving
corps might be the team's second biggest strength behind the running
backs. The underutilized corps has speed to burn, but Leonard couldn't
get them the ball on a consistent basis last season. That has to quickly
Defense: It's all up to the defensive line. The linebacking
corps, despite some huge losses, will be surprisingly solid with Koby
McKinnon returning with plenty of help around him. The safeties are
tremendous with Tyrell Johnson and Khayyam Burns each on the fast track
to All-Sun Belt honors. The corners are deep and potentially a major
strength of the defense. And then there's the line, which has to figure
out how to get to the quarterback at some point. The return of Brian
Flagg and Brandon Rollins from injuries will be a huge boost. The 4-3
alignment works, and it should produce the league's best statistical
pass defense.
Sept. 15 – Nicholls State
Sept. 22 – at UCF
Offense: Quarterback Steven Moffett and premier receiver Mike
Walker have graduated, so logic dictates the Knights will lean on junior
Kevin Smith for a while. He's as good as any back in the league when
he's healthy, and has the luxury of four starting linemen returning.
Don't expect any drop-off from Moffett to senior Kyle Israel. In fact,
the veteran of 16 games and five starts was so sharp down the stretch in
2006, some around the program feel he could be even better running the
pro-style offense if a couple of the young receivers emerge.
Defense: Nothing typified UCF's collapse in 2006 more than the
shoddy play of the defense, which finished 106th nationally
and allowed almost 30 points a game. The secondary was a particular
mess, prompting George O'Leary to open up the competition at every spot,
despite the return of four starters. The coach had a chance to take the
wrappers off some of his young kids late last year, which will benefit
players, such as tackles Torrell Johnson and Travis Timmons and end
Jared Kirksey, this season. More than anything else, the Knights are
looking to improve their team speed after looking a step slow throughout
the 2006 season.
Oct. 2 - Marshall
Offense: Not
since Byron Leftwich graduated has Marshall been Marshall on offense.
That should begin to change this fall provided erratic senior
quarterback Bernard Morris can make the most of a receiving corps that's
brimming with young game-breakers. All-conference back Ahmad Bradshaw,
a 1,500-yard rusher in 2006, left early for the NFL, leaving Chubb Small
to shoulder the load. If he can't handle the promotion, look for one of
three blue-chip freshmen to rise up and accept an expanded role. While
the offensive line has pending issues at tackle, Doug Legursky is a
beast at center that could parlay big efforts early versus Miami and
West Virginia into post-season awards.
Defense: Disgusted with the play of last year's defense, head
coach Mark Snyder changed course, hiring veteran Steve Dunlap as the
coordinator. While last year's team sat back, and often paid for the
conservative approach, the 2007 edition will attack wherever and
whenever it makes sense. The chief attacker will be junior end Albert
McClellan, a sack machine that'll be in the mix for just about every
individual award given to defensive players. At linebacker, junior Josh
Johnson is good enough to consider early entry into the 2008 NFL Draft
once the season concludes. Dunlap's biggest concerns in his first
season on the job surround a pedestrian group of tackles and a beatable
secondary that allowed way too many long gainers last season.
Oct. 13 - Middle Tennessee
Offense: The offense was strange last year finishing sixth in the
league in total yards but first in scoring. In other words, the O took
advantage of almost every opportunity despite not being all that good
scoring on 33 of 36 chances in the red zone. Even without long-time
starting quarterback Clint Marks, the passing game can't help but better
whether it's Joe Craddock, or one of three other options under center.
The receiving corps is experienced, but unless Bobby Williams plays up
to his talent, it won't be much better. The running game will be the
strength with DeMarco McNair and speedsters Desmond Gee and Phillip
Tanner running behind a massive line.
Defense: This should be one of the Sun Belt's best defenses in
time, but only if the back seven can fill all the holes. The front four
will be regulars in the backfield with three all-conference caliber ends
in Erik Walden, Sean Mosley and Tavares Jones along with nose tackle
Trevor Jenkins. The linebackers are a big problem needing to replace all
three starters, but they aren't the problem the cornerbacks are. Bradley
Robinson is an all-star, but there's no depth and a concern at the
second spot. Damon Nickson will carry things for a while at safety.
Oct. 20 – at Rice
Offense: Todd Graham and his staff are gone, but the spread
attack is alive and well at Rice, good news for an offense that returns
its starting quarterback and All-American wide receiver. Although Chase
Clement to Jarett Dillard will be a familiar phrase this fall, the Owls
are also developing a bunch of good-looking, young pass-catchers that
are ready to contribute. The quest for offensive balance, however,
won't be so easy now that underappreciated running back Quinton Smith
has exhausted his eligibility. Last year was a painful transition for
the offensive line, but with four starters back and a full year in the
system, there are no excuses for not being much better in pass
Defense: In an attempt to bolster a run defense that allowed more
than 300 yards to five straight opponents in 2006, Rice is shifting from
the 3-3-5 to the 4-2-5. The move puts another big body in the box, but
also puts an enormous burden on a line that lost three of last year's
best linemen to graduation. The new scheme encourages constant pressure
from a back seven that boasts the young athletes, such as junior
linebacker Brian Raines and sophomore safety Andrew Sendejo, to create
havoc for opposing quarterbacks. Lost in last year's statistically
awful season was the fact that the opportunistic Owls paced Conference
USA in turnovers and sacks.
Oct. 27 – at Tulane
Offense: New head coach Bob Toledo would like to get vertical get
the passing game moving, but it's not going to happen at the expense of
the ground attack. With a good back in Matt Forte to work with, the
Green Wave will try to run the ball to create some semblance of balance,
but the offensive line might not be in place to do it. Scott Elliott is
the odds-on favorite to win the starting quarterback job in a four-man
race, and he has some decent young receivers to work with.
Defense: Tulane hasn't played consistent defense in a few years,
and it needs to count on experience, especially up front, to change
things around. Eight starters return led by senior tackles Frank Morton
and Avery Williams. The secondary needs to be far better after allowing
over 250 passing yards a game, but that could be a bit of an issue with
two new starting corners being broken in. The new coaching staff will
use a variety of formations and schemes to try to get more production,
and while the overall defense should be better, there will still be
times when it'll get bombed on.
Nov. 3 - East Carolina
Offense: Skip Holtz likes to spread the field out and turn his
quarterback loose, but with the battery of James Pinkney and Aundrae
Allison gone, the Pirates will put more emphasis on the ground game.
That means extra carries this year for versatile senior Chris Johnson
and his young understudies, Dominique Lindsay and Norman Whitley. While
strong-armed sophomore Rob Kass will replace Pinkney behind center, an
adequate replacement for Allison will be much tougher to find. Look for
the quarterback to utilize a group of tight ends that has the potential
to be as good as any in Conference USA. For ECU to improve on last
season's weak offensive output, the veteran line needs to give Kass an
extra second or two in the pocket and create more daylight for the
Defense: If the Pirate defensive line doesn't outright dominate
at times this season, heads will roll at the end of the year. There's
way too much talent and depth on this unit for it not to make a quantum
leap from 2006. Junior end Marcus Hands, in particular, has the size
and quickness to be special after underachieving last fall. Penetration
up front figures to help a secondary that's easily the weak link of this
defense. Three starters, including both corners, need to be replaced
from a group that was one of the underrated team strengths for the past
two seasons.
Nov. 10 – at Southern Miss
Offense: While it's become fashionable for programs across the
country to switch to some fancy derivative of the spread offense,
Southern Miss is content to pound the ball on the ground, control the
clock and let its defense win games. Sure, the Eagles prefer balance,
but in Hattiesburg, the run continues to set up the pass. Last year's
league-leading rusher, sophomore Damion Fletcher, is back for an encore,
and this time, he brought friends. Southern Miss is deep in the
backfield, which will take pressure off versatile, yet erratic, senior
quarterback Jeremy Young. His favorite target will again be tight end
Shawn Nelson, a future pro with All-America potential. For a change,
there are restless moments about an offensive line that's replacing
three starters, two of which were First Team All-Conference USA in 2006.
Defense: The "Nasty Bunch" defense that's become the trademark of
Southern Miss football under Jeff Bower should be one of the nation's
top ranked units in 2007. It's fast and experienced, and if Bower gets
his way, about to become as physical as his vintage teams of the late
1990s. The Eagles return nine starters, including the entire front
seven and five players that earned all-Conference USA recognition in
2006. Good luck moving the ball on this veteran group. If there's a
weak link on defense it's in the secondary, where two new starting
corners will be broken in. One way to help rookies Eddie Willingham and
Michael McGee will be to get more pressure on the quarterback than last
year, when USM was No. 81 in the country in sacks.
Nov. 17 - UAB
Offense: From the staff and the system to the personnel, the
offense will be getting a complete facelift in 2007. Nothing will look
the same which isn't such a bad thing considering how poorly the unit
executed last season. New coordinator Kim Helton is installing a
pro-style attack that sprinkles in some no-huddle and option calls, but
realizes he'll have to tailor the first-year playbook to the talent he
inherits. All eyes in August will be on the continuing quarterback
battle between senior Sam Hunt and sophomore Joseph Webb, a potential
savior once he gets up to speed. Whether or not the offense climbs out
of the Conference USA cellar will depend heavily on the maturation of a
rebuilt line that's replacing four senior starters.
Defense: While the back seven of the defense figures to be a
strength in 2007, you might not know it unless the defensive line can
effectively replace three key starters from last year. Senior end
Brandon Jeffries will be productive, but after him, UAB is feverishly
searching for answers to prevent opposing passers from having all day to
throw. Junior college transfer Antonio Forbes is being counted on to
deliver right out of the gate at tackle. The linebackers have a budding
star in junior Joe Henderson and senior free safety Will Dunbar is one
of just a handful of Blazer defenders with all-league potential.
Nov. 24 - SMU
Offense: In sophomore Justin Willis, SMU has a legitimate
franchise quarterback with the physical tools to move an offense and the
intangibles to lead a program to victories and eventually bowl games.
He'll be growing alongside classmate Emmanuel Sanders, who ignited a
mediocre receiving corps last year with 46 catches and nine touchdown
receptions. Junior back DeMyron Martin is eyeing the kind of rebound
year that'll refocus his career while giving more balance to the
offense. He'll have the luxury of running behind a seasoned line that
returns four starters. If, as expected, the Mustangs are playing in
shootouts this year, they've now got the offensive weapons to keep pace.
Defense: The Mustangs will spend the better part of the year
trying to replace three starters from the 2006 defensive line, including
standouts Justin Rogers and Adrian Haywood. If they can solve that
complex riddle, look out. The back seven, led by Butkus Award candidate
Reggie Carrington, is very fast and very capable of spurring an
improvement from last year's middling results. The more likely scenario
has the line struggling to create a consistent push and the secondary
getting burned by opposing hurlers with way too much time to find their
