I'll start by saying I love SHSU. Have one of my degrees from there. Met my wife there. Great school, great football program, and fun team to cheer for in the sub-division series.

The offense started of slow which was to be expected I suppose coming off of last week, but they opened up in the 2nd and put it away.

The defense did their part by grabbing some INT's and limiting a pretty good deep ball threat from Sam.

Special teams had a little fun this week when they allowed JFF to attempt the PAT. Sadly, we've discovered there is something the kid cant do. Better luck next time I suppose. In hindsight, you gotta feel for Taylor Bertolet though. Its pretty rough when your all world Qb is called up to make a fg.

Overall, no one got hurt on either side, which was my concern going in. No need to leave your horses out in the second and Sumlin pulled em. SHSU grabbed some scores in garbage time, but they too, have bigger fish to fry down the road. Pleased to see them leave Kyle healthy and ready to make a playoff run.

Next up and last one of the year: Mizzou.

We'll see.


Side note of this week. Not too happy to see us actually drop a spot, but I was pleased to see K-State remove themselves from post season awards and such. The #JFF4Heisman campaign ought to be in full swing now.

Furthermore, getting bumped from potentially playing in the Fiesta sucks. The Cap1 bowl is still an option though and I suppose, I'd be ok with that. We'll be pulling for Free Shoes U this week though.

Gig em.

This is your second FCS team. Could you not find a FBS team to play this year because of switching conferences?

Or did you keep this spot open till the last moment hoping for Texas to give in?

You Could've given FSU a call they had to play 2 FCS teams this year too.

I'm sure something came up. Most programs try to avoid that second fcs game iirc it won't count towards bcs standings.

When we made the move, I believe there was some issues and this was all we could do. Not what anyone really wanted though because a ton of folks didnt think these w's would get us in to the bowl game hunt. I'll add that if you absolutely had to pick a school from the sub series, Sam would be up near the top of the list. They're in the top 3 in that league I believe. May be wrong, but I think thats the case.
