Miami senior defensive end JT Jones (East Atlanta, Ga.) had a season-high five tackles, two sacks and three tackles for loss in Miami's 28-15 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

Special Teams Player of the Week:  Kent State K Shane Hynes
Kent State sophomore kicker Shane Hynes (Clarkston, Mich.) connected on a 35-yard game-winning field goal as time expired to give Kent State a 27-24 victory at Central Michigan.  Hynes also matched a career-long 43-yard field goal in the first half.  He went 3-for-3 on extra points and four of his kickoffs had the Chippewas starting drives inside their own 25-yard line.
