HedleyLamarr Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 IMO, Middle Tennessee is the future of mid-major college football in that they have an offence that is the equal of BCS powers (See: Boise St., Hawai'i, MTSU, etc.) and as a result can trade scores with the big boys, but do not have a corresponding defence like national title contenders have. Louisville's defence has been known to be suspect already, so it's no surprise a high-powered offence like MTSU will be able to keep up with Louisville.And you know as well as I do, that Middle Tennessee has played some of the SEC schools rather tough in the past few seasons.

Fred T. Jane Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 And you know as well as I do, that Middle Tennessee has played some of the SEC schools rather tough in the past few seasons.Not only that, they do tend to light up Sun Belt defences in conference play too. Thankfully they have a Sun Belt defence, so that evens the playing field.BTW, 5:38, 3rd Quarter, Louisville 41-35 Middle Tennessee with MTSU driving.

otherwilds Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 My Blue Raiders are making progress as a D1 program using L'ville as the an example to emulate. I think Coach Stockstill just might be the guy to take them to the next level.But enuf of these "moral victories" quality defeats for the a nice paycheck. As much as I cherish them beating Vanderbilt twice I'm really teady to see a REAL MTSU win against a major D1 Bowl Championship Division team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I just needed somewhere to say that Tech looked really great against ND. The Tech D has got to scare anyone with Tech on their schedule.Also would liek to congratulate UGA on scheduling a real game this year out of conference. Nice step towards legitimately. Not to mention, beating them! NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi  ΓΔΒ!  Going to college gets you closer to the real world, kind of like climbing a tree gets you closer to the moon.

HedleyLamarr Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Also would liek to congratulate UGA on scheduling a real game this year out of conference.I agree.I wish that school on North Avenue would give UGA an out-of-conference challenge every once in a while.

WJMorris3 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Well, now I guess there's a lot of people who don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan. (Not an Ohio State fan but the song fits right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMcD Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Well, no Cinderella story for Boise this year. Washington beat 'em today.That Washington vs. Ohio State game next week looks pretty good. Upset Watch????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 That's right... So, how 'bout some dap for my Huskies, eh? Come on... Oh, and for you Buckeye fans, here's something to chew on while your team half assed their way past Akron: THIS is how you beat a team!Well, now I guess there's a lot of people who don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan.I can't help but laugh at Michigan.. Oh, how the mighty have fallen... But, as a treat for Michigan fans while they are trying to avoid an 0-3 start next week, They can watch U-Dub show the world how you break a Buckeye in half.

KevinMcD Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 What was up with the call in the Texas A+M - Fresno State game??????That looked like a fumble and touchback to me.EDIT: Holy crap, now they reverse it on a second challenge as a fumble and touchback, however they call a QB interference call on TAMU.

OSU didn't look that good against Youngstown State either. This could indeed be cause for concern. That or the Big Ten is indeed down this year. (As I see Penn State is only up by a touchdown over Notre Dame). Lloyd Carr should resign now, before he is found dead or something this week.(Still winless since Bo passed away....)As a Nebraska fan, should I be heartened or worried by the results of today's game at Wake?
