By how much will ACU beat Georgia State by tonight?

[Lehigh Football Nation]

I'm thinking 17 points.

[Twentysix]

GSU will still probably be ****ty this year, but.... I think they win.

[PAllen]

The real question is: Are they doing a money drop tonight?

[FormerPokeCenter]

I might be wrong, but I think Lambuth was the last Christian school that Georgia State played...and we all know how THAT turned out! ;)

[MTfan4life]

Georgia State wins this one. My guess is by double digits.

[BisonFan02]

Poll is invalid...no selection for "don't care.....make it rain! Dolla bills y'all…"

[Lehigh Football Nation]

For the record, THE Georgia State University are 4 point favorites.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Much as I want to see State get beat, I think they'll win this one.

[Catatonic]

ACU lost 80% of its offense--QB, RB, 3 leading wide receivers.

lots of returners on D and a couple of key transfers.

O has some talented skill position players.
Coaches are happy with the progress of the rebuilt O line.
D Line is deep and has potential to be dominant.
Secondary returns in tact.


GSU lost almost all its starters on offense, and for them that's a good thing.

GSU will rely heavily on juco replacements to fix its woeful offense and pathetic D. They went out and found some talent. Can they play as a team? We will see.

Vegas likes GSU by 4. I'm going with ACU by 3. Runnings backs go over 200 yards. Cats young QB hooks up with a speedy receiver to break at least one long play for a TD.

[SUPharmacist]

ACU should be a good FCS team in time, but they lose this game.

[marenlee]

Hoping ACU proves us wrong. I'm all about Georgia State getting embarrassed week after week.

What's the "under" on the attendance?:D

Sorry guys, you lost to all of the upper level D2 schools you played last year- Georgia State is a great D2 Program

They are staying SUPER tight on the field and groups of 10-15 people in the stands when they are going there.

[Laker]

This reminds me of the Georgia Tech spring game where they had more players on the field (not just the sidelines) than in the stands. I wonder what the official head count will be.

This game sucks. That is all.

GSU has potential to be a decent FBS program...in the future. They have 32K students and are in downtown Atlanta.

[Southern Bison]

Looks like Carl Edwards is refereeing this game...guess NASCAR isn't paying too well.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple and Georgia State are very similar. The biggest difference being Temple has a 20 year head start in its transformation from commuter to residential university. The type of student, in general, that attends a city school is not your rah-rah school spirit sports fanatic. Most people attend a city school to immerse themselves in things beyond the campus boundaries.

Temple has a strong following for basketball, because we've always won, but the football culture is still a major work in progress...

[marenlee]

So... If ACU hangs on... 0-12 again? xthumbsupx

[paward]

GSU as my mother says look a mess!

[clenz]

ACU scores again

30-21 ACU

[McNeese75]

Turn out the lights, they are folding the tent

[clenz]

And...2 plays after that TD ACU picks off GSU...

xlolxxlolx

[Lehigh Football Nation]

17 point win looking good.

[marenlee]

Really enjoying this now. "First" game of the FBS season looking like it may result in a loss. Still a lot of game left but GSU is looking lost now.

[Sammy94]

Southland Strong. ACU looks like a great addition to the conference.

Is ACU even a D1 counter this season?

I know they aren't playoff eligible.

I wonder if they are fully funded at 85 schollies?

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

GSU is doing the G5 no favors tonight. Who is the prohibitive favorite in the SBC? LA-Laf? Arky State?

[Twentysix]

They aren't.

The ESPNU announcers said 73. Though I don't know how credible their source is, I didn't look into it myself.

ACU must be closer to 36 scholarships than 63, being only one year out of DII.

Wow, didn't realize ACU has only around 4,500 students. I would have figured it to be a much bigger school to get into the Southland.

Typical Georgia State team.....cramps in the second quarter, playing in a freakin airconditioned DOME, penalties, turnovers, etc.

On another note, kudos to Abilene Christian! Welcome to the SLC!

GSU has been FBS for a couple of years should be close to 85. May be unable to find 85 fools willing to get the crap beat out of them?

[blackbeard]

Sunbelt is calling Ga State and revoking their membership. Glad ACU is putting them in their place, but we have to admit ACU isn't even in the top 50% of the FCS.

[bonarae]

Yikes. Two GSU TD's and an ACU TD sandwiched in between. ACU still leads by 2 though, 3:43 left in the game

I was under the impression last season was the first season of FBS for GSU. In 2012 (2 seasons ago), they have a CAA conference record.

It is their first season as a full FBS member.

They were transitional last season, same as ODU.

Wait a minute there blowjobtheflamer...half the people on this thread spent the whole game trashing GaSt and I poke a little fun at end (and put a winky face on it to indicate that I am just joking)...and you call me a "colossal (word redacted)."

As anyone ever mentioned you're a bit of a self-righteous douche bag?

Lost in this "pandemomium" of Georgia State's win was the god-awful personal foul call on ASU negating the roughing the kicker call on ASU's punt. That hometown refereeing call cost them the game.

I agree with you on the call, but the way ACU played that last series on defense was terrible.

When your opponent only needs to get a field goal to win it, you don't play prevent and let the other team complete passes underneath the coverage. There's no way State should've converted that 4th and 19, either.
