JACKSONVILLE STATE: Booted from defending national champion Louisiana State University in May, quarterback Ryan Perrilloux is trying to repair his career and his reputation at a Football Championship Subdivision team tucked away in east Alabama.

And to make sure he doesn't repeat the mistakes, he readily fesses up to making them during three years in Baton Rouge.

"I let a great opportunity slip away at LSU," Perrilloux said. "Everybody knows that, and I know it, too. But what I have to say is will I let that crush me as a player or will I look at that as adversity and use that to drive me and motivate me to do better?

"That's what I've been doing since I've been here. I've been looking at the mistakes I made at LSU and trying not to make those same mistakes at Jacksonville State."

FLORIDA ATLANTIC: Howard Schnellenberger had his contract extended through the 2010 season.
