Poor 1st Week

[CajunFun]

The SBC only won one, count 'em one, FBS game this week, JMU over Charlotte.

ODU made it close against So Carolina, and Troy barely lost to Nevada.

Meanwhile, TSU beat Lamar by only a touchdown, and Ark St squeaked by Central.

Not an auspicious start.

Forgot they're in CUSA. I stand corrected.

2-6 vs. the FBS…brutal.

Troy. USA, Georgia southern all lost to g5 teams at home. Not good. ASU struggled with central ark. UCA avg 7.3 a carry on the ground. Txst looked blah against Lamar. It could be a wild Wild West.

Yep. Not a good Week 1 by the Belt in trying to be the best non P4/P5 football conference.

Other than Houston, looks like every P4 held serve against G5 teams.

It’s way too early…but the West is ours to lose.

I agree. All games based on wk 1 performance are winnable. The only team in next 11 games that played as well as UL from start to end was Tulane.

The last two years I have taken the bullet and said after early season losses that we were young and early season struggles were to be expected.

Well now I am on the other side. We are an experienced team, we should look better than a lot of teams right now because of that experience. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t improve as the season progresses, but we should be ahead of a lot of our peers right now with this much experience coming back.
