Southern @ Louisiana Score Prediction Thread

[ATXCajun]

Here are my factors for prediction:
-Our history in these games
-Southern's history of having athletes
-They'll bring people
-Our first game
-Weather looks dicey

And most of all, people keep saying the the talent gap is sooooo wide.. I don't necessarily believe that. Their skill guys can play, no matter what the situation. Not calling out the fan base, but folks are HAMMERED on Cajun Kool aid right now. I know we are a quality team, but we're not miles ahead. We're just not. Couple that with a team with expectations like ours having to "get up" for a swac opponent; I just don't see the blowout. And honestly, what's the difference? Maybe we win ugly and learn a lesson at the same time. Dealing with 18-22 year olds here.

And please save the "negative fan" narrative. At the end of the day, I think this team loses one game this season.

So you have prediction factors but no prediction? Everyone is off base, but you won't be since you're going to come back with an equally vague post-game I-told-you-so.

Having an inexperienced freshman QB for Southern is going to provide plenty of big play opportunities on the UL Defense. The UL offense is going to roll either way and it's going to look something like:
UL 56
SU 3

His prediction was 38-24 which prompted me to ask him the question why he felt it would be so close and/or why he felt they would score as many points as he predicted. My safe assumption is that we are MUCH better than we were in 2009 when we played them and still held them to 17, I believe all in the first half. We scored 42 and were starting a new QB and Rb as well as some other Wrs. They had arguably their best offense that year and gave it to us for a half but then we took over.

I think we are much better on defense, particularly on the line and I don't think we give them that opportunity. He has his right to his opinion and there is nothing wrong with his reasons I just feel that while the overall talent gap may not be as large as some people here think, I think the talent and athleticism on both lines is a advantage for us over them.
