La Tech vs Southern Miss & Other CUSA scores?

[Ben Gooding]

SoMiss beats LaTech. Big win for us, had we won today. Now, we will need to win out anyway. Or hope La Tech loses another. Destiny is still in our hands, in theory. But would you put your own 'destiny' in the hands of this staff after today? Not sure I'd put a potato gun in their hands after today.

LAT still has UTSA and I believe Marshall... so let’s hope we can handle our business

I'm not sure if I want it after tonight.  If we win the West division, we'll have to play against an East champ who--at least it looks like it at this point--will absolutely destroy us.  I'd almost rather win 7 or 8 games and go against a beatable opponent in a bowl game.  I just don't think we're ready for the big time yet.

Southern Miss survives 34-27 in 2OT.

Maybe I don't drink as much beer as you. I may need to start paying attention less too.

No kidding.  I mean, who wants to play in a conference championship game???  Especially two years after going 1-11 and being arguably the worst team in college football.

FIFY

Now that you put it that way I understand.  I didn't realize we were going to give up triple digits.

Unless they bring in Portland St. as the opponent, I really think we could probably keep it a little closer.

USM and Charlotte helped us out tonight. UAB, UTSA, and La Tech all with two conference losses. UNT needs to win out and we will win the tiebreak against USM to play in conference championship. La Tech scares me though with our sub par defense.

They have played crappy all season. The offense has just been bailing them out.

Agreed, the whole bend but don’t break is tiresome and this thought process needs to be removed

Yes. The 3-3-5 doesn't work for us. We don't have the linebackers to play it. We need to move to 4-3.

Honestly, I believe our young team is still developing & when we get our 2 in the DL back in full operating mode this defense should be much better, especially by bowl kick-off time. 

GMG!

Southern Mississippi still has to play Marshall so 6-2 could still win the west for us if we lose at La Tech who also has Marshall. After today, no game will look like an easy win!

I don't get this logic. So the other conference title contenders that have a CUSA loss can regroup, get better and progress, but somehow we're incapable of that? I understand that everyone's pissed about the completely flat performance (I am too), but this kind of sentiment comes across as overly emotional. Ideally, I want us to win the rest of the CUSA games and force a rematch with FAU. Think we'd see a totally different North Texas team against them in round 2.

How many fricking years in a row are we going to be a young team, this is the excuse every year. Why are we always perceived to be a young team as an excuse for craptastic losses

I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek.  But it is true that if we were to experience a comparable or worse outcome to what we saw yesterday, I would rather not be in the game at all.

we need to get some juco linebackers in here

Reminds me of the people last year that thought we should decline the HoD invitation since we only had 5 wins.
