And, we had better be ready for McNeese State. They play Portland State on Labor Day weekend, then have the week off before playing UL.
Like the Stanford loss to UC Davis, remember Northwestern State beating TCU and Maine beating Miss. State. These things do happen and UL cannot afford such a loss, not just to a 1AA school but to an in state school and former rival.
I don't think it will happen, as I am expected a great season for UL. But, we'll be coming off games vs. Bowl Teams last year in USC and Ohio. And, McNeese will be well rested and their coaches will have a chance to see us play v. Ohio on their off week, so they will be ready.
I'm not sure if Bustle understands the importance of this game, other than it is the next game on our schedule. His inability to beat ULM (1-4) is of concern and this 1AA team is capable of upsetting us, if we're not ready and don't take them seriously.
I would hope we respond to McNeese like LSU does to us, i.e. a game we should not only win, but dominate; then go out and do it. This should be fun.
