    Looking at the remainder of the season, there is no team on our remaining schedule we cannot beat, App State being our most difficult game. Certainly, we will have to play much better to beat them. What we need to happen is for App State to beat GA Southern tonight and for App State to beat Ark State next week, giving Ark State 1 loss. S. Alabama's toughest games remaining are vs. UL, GA Southern and App State and they already have 1 loss. If GA Southern loses to App State, their toughest remaining game is vs. S. Alabama. In this scenario, every team will have at least 1 loss except App State. So, our game vs. App State could determine the conference championship or at best for UL a shared conference championship with only 1 loss. This is a scenario that could definitely play out. Given the way we are playing, winning the rest of our games, which are all possible as none of these teams are very good with the exception of S. Alabama, hope of winning the conference and beating App State is all we have to hang on to. Doesn't look likely at this point, but could happen if this team and coaches can get their _____ together. It ain't over 'til its over, so let's remain optimistic that we can still pull this off. And, if it happens, we finish 8-4 with a bowl game to play and a shot at another 9-4 season. That would be a huge salvage of a thus far very disappointing season.

    UL (2-4, 1-1) plays ULM, GA State, S. Alabama, NM State, App State and Troy.

    S. Alabama (3-3, 1-1) plays TX State, Idaho, UL, GA State, GA Southern, App State

    Ark. State (4-3, 3-0) plays GA State, App State, ULM, NM State, TX State

    App State (5-1, 3-0) plays GA Southern, Troy, Ark State, Idaho, UL, S. Alabama

    GA Southern (5-1. 3-0) plays App State, TX State, Troy, Georgia, S. Alabama, GA State
    This all goes out the window if we lose to ulm. Lets get win #3 first

    Of course, we must beat ULM and win every remaining game. But, if we can't beat ULM, GA State, NM State, and Troy, then our program is in worse shape than we think. It is sad enough that ULM is going to be a barometer of our season. We are all disappointed thus far. Given our remaining schedule, why not remain positive until such time as we lose again?

    Did anyone watch the App State @ ULMost game? App State scored a lot of points but they did not impress me. Even with our defense I think we can beat them. I think Ga Southern will stomp them tonight. The one thing App will have the advantage in both games is that they are home.

    ----Boomer was only giving scores and ratings of the teams that had beaten us and the teams that they had lost to and their rankings and records---BTW they still are pretty impressive!!!

    Well, unless we see drastic changes, Eli is gonna have to channel Larry Csonka from here on out.

We have no QB so moving Nixon to RB may not be the worst idea.
    On defense everyone here screamed about our soft zone coverage last year (me included). Guess what, they cannot play press and now our Safetys are frequently out of position. We have tried every scheme. None work because our players are not physical enough.
    Do you think the coaches are telling the players to not wrap up on tackles? Of course they aren't. Our guys are not wrapping up because they are overmatched in many cases (the guy he is trying to bring down is either stronger or faster). One question I do have about coaching is the conditioning of the team. Many guys look overweight and even more look tired. Hopefully the APC will address some of this.
    Can't make Nixon a RB. He has two shoulder injuries already this season

    Akron was big and physical upfront on D. Pushed us around. Tx state had an FCS defensive line. The were very small. Big talent gap between the 2 teams on the front lines.

    I agree with this. The matchup was a bad one on the LOS, both side of the ball. Even with that, we can't get blown out at home by that team.

    I'm getting sick and tired our unwillingness to mix in other things with the zone read. Down big to ASU this week, we still continued trying to pound the ball in the middle with Eli. Thankfully, Nixon was able to break some big runs but it was obvious that ASU was not going to give that run up to Eli in the middle. We finally got him involved in the passing game when it was too late. We need to get him the ball in space a lot more than that zone read only.
