Louisiana@Georgia State Score Predictions

[Just1More]

Its also a clasic "trap game" with a lightly regarded opponent sandwiched between several traditional important conference games. Even though this is still a conference game I think we tend to overlook its importance between Troy and Moanroe. I know Hud will not be overlooking them I just hope he can get the players focused on them. Hopefully NMSU game was a wakeup call.

Hud is not ever overlooking another opponent in football. There may be some truth to our players coming out flat because they've believed they can do just about anything and beat an opponent. But again, I think a Hud team is less likely to be a victim of that scenario than 95% of the FBS.

I've rarely, in the past, heard us claiming that one of our victories was because we were on the other end of the "trap game". And we used to be, on paper at the very least, a "trap opponent". We can't have it both ways.

One thing to keep in mind: Georgia State is a much stronger second half team. If Hud wants to beat GSU, he needs to do a majority of his scoring in the first half.

You are fairly new to us... but we are a second half team as well. Troy was an anomaly due to only having 4 days rest. Otherwise, we own the second half. Our S&C knows no equal in the SBC. If GA St wishes to beat UL, they had better count on way more than the second half.

I think a lot of that is just circumstance. Just looking at their conference games:

WKU - Down 31-7 before they WKU let off and allowed them to score a couple TD's. WKU responded with 2 TD's in the 4th
ULM - No pts 2nd half. Outscored 10-0 2nd half
TXST - Had 3 pts in the 2nd half before scoring TD with 1 second to go in the game. With that TD included, they were still outscored 14-10 2nd half
Troy - This was GSU's best conference game and they jumped on Troy after half. Scored 3 TD's total 2nd half. 21-21 2nd half

Even if they were showing up on paper as a "second half team" this year, don't you think an 0-9 team sees a lot of 2nd and 3rd units in the second half? I wouldn't put much stock in an 0-9 program's claim of being a second half team.

Yeah, that was pretty much my point. A lot of their scoring has been throwaway points, though they have kept it close in a few conference games.

Also, they havent given up more than 45 this year, but if you throw out the TXST game, they've given up points in the 30s or 40s in every game.

And don't get me wrong. Even an 0-9 rattlesnake can bite you. I'm just not going along with GA St being a "second half team" quite that easy, considering the circumstances.
