The tape is going to tell a lot about the defense. That needs to be dissected. I know Michigan St is doing it right now.

I thought this thread might have some descriptions of wicked hangovers. I've sure got one and after reading this I'd like some hair of the dog.

Well. Now that we've gotten that out of our system.   I would not have been overly surprised that we lost to McSU. That being said, I would have expected a 3 to maybe 10 point margin of victory. Ne

It is a tough loss without many bright spots, including the fact only 22K came out to RJS, but there is no way to go but up.

"Fans" were off the deep end with their "emotion filled" thoughts of a 10 and 2 season. 

 

Taggart is the right guy and it will take time.  Not this year and not next.  Short term pain, long term gain.

 

Go Bulls!

 

Can't believe some people thought we would go 10-2. Unrealistic expectations for this team.

 

Still 100% behind CWT and will make us a better team. He still needs to get more of his players to use his system.

 

I don't remember seeing this many FBS teams lose to FCS teams in 1 weekend.

 

From the FCS perspective, we see it the same way.  If the national FCS message board chatter is correct, it's the best opening day weekend ever for us...8 FCS wins over FBS including three FCS over BCS wins...one ranked team and one who was expected to compete for the Big XII title.  We had four other close games where the FCS school fell by one TD or less...and several others that were relatively close or the FCS had a lead going into the fourth quarter...

There's not the talent level disparity between FCS and FBS that you guys think there is.  Granted, the LSU's and Alabamas, etc., all have talent that's out of this world...but even then a good FCS squad can come in and be competitive.   Ergo McNeese taking two leads on LSU in 2010 and Georgia Southern rushing for more than 300 yards against Alabama's defense...Heck, in 2001, we went to Miami when they had 17 first round draft choices scattered through three classes and we scored first and put up more than 400 yards of total offense...granted, they still killed us, but they killed EVERYBODY that year...

In the end, your superior depth with 22 more scholarships is generally what does us in...particularly in the fourth quarter...

We beat Middle Tennessee pretty handily last year and they went on to an 8-4 season with quality wins, including one over Georgia Tech...

I agree. It was the best day ever for FCS. I also agree that many think that there is a huge difference in talent between the two divisions and its more depth than quality due to FBS having a couple dozen more scholarships to offer. Anyone that think its a consistent quality difference doesn't watch the NFL, which is full of quality players from FCS.

According to the Tampa Tribune its was the most points ever scored by an FCS team against an FBS team.

 

Not by much, the FCS school that beat #25 Oregon St scored almost as much as McNeese. But yeah, it was bad.

FCS stepping it up at the right time when all of these FBS schools talk about not playing them anymore.
