Now I'm not suggesting they are anything close to our next three opponents, but the Cajun's are not good enough at this point to go up there a lay a big crapper. This is a building block game, and I want to see improvement in the running game (more consistency) and a cleaner game on Special Teams.
Re: ESPN BOTTOM TEN 9.4.2024
Allegedly, KSU redshirted over half their team last year to save them for their first year of FBS.
Don’t sell that team short.

Yeah, KSU should not be on that list. We are going to have our hands full.
Re: ESPN BOTTOM TEN 9.4.2024
Really crazy to me how people still have this mindset about teams moving up after watching what most of them did in this conference after moving up.

Or how a move up who wasn’t even supposed to be eligible for a bowl game last year beat us in a bowl game. I don’t take any games for granted and having watched the ksu-utsa game I think we will most definitely have our hands full. Should we win this game? Yes. Will we win this game? Who knows but nobody can or should say this game is a gimme. Until we actually prove it then like coach said WE HAVEN’T DONE CRAP.

Having our hands full with Kennesaw State would mean we are terrible again this year. We should destroy them.

Like everyone destroyed jmu? Georgia southern? App state? Those 3 teams went a combined 20-4 their first year in the conference and that was before transfer portal and no sitting out.

Reminder KSU was not good last year at the FCS level. So if we lose this game we will be in trouble for the rest of the year…. UL by 13

College football is all about emotion. If we don't match theirs and come out fired up UL will lose this game. First home FBS game = trouble if the Cajuns don't act like this is the biggest game of the year. A scheduling wizard must have booked this one.

I didn’t say nor do I think we will lose but I also think we have to play well. They were preparing for this year by redshirting everyone. Last year doesn’t matter, last week does though and they certainly aren’t terrible.
Re: ESPN BOTTOM TEN 9.4.2024
From last season’s KSU preseason presser…
One of the biggest questions was redshirting. Many veteran Owls have intact redshirt years, meaning they could sit out this year’s nine-game championship-less season and have an additional year of eligibility once Kennesaw State is an FBS program. Bohannon and the rest of the coaching staff must balance wanting to be competitive this season with having the best chance to win at the FBS level in 2024.
“If we can (redshirt them) and they’re willing, we’re going to do it this year,” Bohannon said. “Especially guys that we know moving forward can (help us) as we move into Conference USA. We’ve got several guys on our roster that are in that boat.”
So basically, they tanked last year.
Re: ESPN BOTTOM TEN 9.4.2024
These Bottom 10/25 articles are fluff pieces. Kennesaw State will give us their best, especially with this being their first FBS home game. Coach Des and staff need to have these guys focused. Defense needs to clean up the Week 1 mistakes. I hope we see more out of the rushing game this week.
Re: ESPN BOTTOM TEN 9.4.2024
We will also be without our starting LT and RG on Saturday

All of those teams were extremely successful FCS teams. I can't say I'm an expert on FCS but was Kennesaw even a decent FCS team?

They have only been playing football 9 years and already moved up. They have had 8-3,12-2,11-2,11-3,11-2 seasons in those 9 years and the same head coach the entire time.

Agree, but up to a point. That point is when your team is on the list. Then it sucks.

They gave UTSA all they wanted last week on the road. We are going to have to earn this victory.
Re: ESPN BOTTOM TEN 9.4.2024
Too lazy to go back and research, but there are too many teams that have us in their record books as first “big” school victory.
So I’ll just be happy with a win and no injuries.
