FORMER HAWK MILES AUSTIN PACES DALLAS COWBOY’S SPECIAL TEAMS
All-time leading receiver in Monmouth history returns kicks for Cowboys
WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J.- After being put on the inactive list for three straight games, former Monmouth University wide receiver Miles Austin has played solid for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys in their last two contests.
Austin returned a pair of kicks in Dallas’ 21-14 win over the previously unbeaten Indianapolis Colts yesterday on national television. Austin had two returns for 59 total yards for a 29.5 yard average. With his team trailing 14-7 in the fourth quarter, Austin returned a kickoff 28 yards, setting up a Cowboy drive that ended with a Marion Barber touchdown. Austin made his returning debut against Arizona on Nov. 12, when he returned two kicks for 39 yards with a long of 22 yards. The Garfield, N.J., plays on almost all of the Cowboy’s special teams units, recording three tackles on the season.
Austin became the first former Monmouth player to earn a NFL contract when he was signed to the Cowboys after a solid training camp and preseason. He put his talents on display in a preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on ESPN’s Monday Night Football, hauling in a 48-yard touchdown reception from Cowboy’s quarterback Tony Romo. The Cowboys are 3-0 this season when Austin is in the lineup, 3-4 when he is on the inactive list.
“It is good to see that Miles is making a positive contribution to the Cowboy’s special teams,” said head coach Kevin Callahan. “He is talented and hard working player so it comes as no surprise that he is making plays for them.”
After three seasons as a starter with the Hawks, Austin left West Long Branch as the MU career leader in catches, receiving yards and touchdown catches.

As you can see I am re-running on the blog, some of the releases from the MU web site I feel are of considerable interest, and that folks may miss if they do not check the MU web site.
Shall I continue in this vein, or do most of you go regularly to the MU web site and thus this service would not be needed?
Thank you

Thanks for the update Tony! Actually, I've been getting MU info from you ahead of the MU website.
Miles looks very good returning kicks and playing special teams - he has lots of potential.
While we think it is great that you give MU a ton of space (both in the APP and in the blog) we would love for fans of MU athletics to utilize both the official website and the TG APP blog..
