They may be ending the Space Shuttle program at NASA, but Houston will still have a lot of rockets…it just seems that NASA placed them a little closer to downtown on the University of Houston campus.

Conference USA’s top offense will be joined by a slew of CUSA programs producing some of the nation’s best fantasy talent.  Of course, the Number One fantasy player from last season, Houston QB Case Keenum (photo, thanks IconSMI), is back for 2010….but, check out the other top fantasy prospects from CUSA…the conference is loaded…

He just may be the top fantasy performer in 2009….

Houston QB Case Keenum (photo, thanks Scout.com) ripped up a multitude of defenses in 2009, and, not just in Conference USA…Keenum led the Cougars to upset wins over Big XII schools Oklahoma State and Texas Tech early in the season.  For his performance, Keenum is our Fantasy College Blitz 2009 Conference USA Fantasy Player of the Year.

Keenum, a senior from Abilene, TX (Wylie HS), threw for 4560 yards and 36 TDs, while rushing for an additional 3 TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).

Houston, who finished first in CUSA West, will face Air Force in the upcoming Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, TX.

Week one is now in the books, and already we have seen some exceptional performances from the top players in the nation.

Though, no one had the overall production like UAB QB Joe Webb, (photo, thanks IconSMI) who is our Fantasy College Blitz Fantasy Player of the Week for week one.

In the Blazers 44-24 win over Rice, Webb, a senior from Birmingham, rushed for 194 yards and 2 TDs, while passing for another 221 yards and 2 TDs.

Webb’s 194 rushing yards set a single-game record for rushing by a QB Conference USA history

Honorable mentions go out to Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen and Navy QB Ricky Dobbs

Please oh most powerful deity above – GIVE US SOME OFFENSE!

Boise and Oregon made more mistakes than Vince Young on the Wonderlic test, and South Carolina and NC State look destined to “under”-perform for the entire season. There was some scoring by North Texas – but heck, even their defense looked good stopping MiQuale Lewis. At least Utah and Utah State moved the mascots a bit based on the running of Matt Asiata and Robert Turbin.

Join us below as I cover the Fantasy Game of the Week as Tulane hosts Tulsa at 7pm on ESPN ( I will start a little early and the mic is open to discuss just about anything) – what a great way to open the three-day Labor Day Weekend!

I know that every sense of your being embraces the beginning of college football season.

The smell of tailgate cookouts, the sound of 90,000 screaming fans, the taste of your favorite beverage, and the sights of a perfectly executed speed option.

If you can think of a good one for touch, let me know because my tactile thoughts were all prurient.

On that note, what better way to interact with all you great readers than a live blog during one of the more interesting fantasy matchups of Week One, Friday Night at 7pm (ESPN)?

Tulsa QB could be one of three guys (or all three!) at the helm of the finest offensive intellectual capital plus lots of skill players waiting to break out (admitted man crush on RB Charles Clay). Tulane is no walkover with Top 3 RB Andre Anderson of the Green Wave and oft-injured Jeremy Williams getting back in wideout shape.
