Games for October 6, 2018: Conference only records

(1-2) ACU at (3-0) McNeese
(1-1) SHSU at (1-2) SFA
(2-1) SLU at (2-0) UIW
(0-2) HBU at (1-1) UCA
(2-1) Nicholls at (1-1) NWST

NOTES OF INTEREST: UCA's QB Breylin Smith suffered a broken fibula in his leg last night against SHSU and will not return for a long while.

[McNeese75]

(1-2) ACU at (3-0) McNeese Homer vote. The Pokes are prime for someone to light them up and the their offense not respond.
(1-1) SHSU at (1-2) SFA Kats have their QB evidently so I will go with them although due to the rivalry it could be close
(2-1) SLU at (2-0) UIW Cards are surprising teams but I think the Lions will be too much.
(0-2) HBU at (1-1) UCA Bears should win this even after losing the QB
(2-1) Nicholls at (1-1) NWST Nicholls is rolling and their defense is stout.

(1-2) ACU at (3-0) McNeese - McNeese - ACU has been a disappointment.
(1-1) SHSU at (1-2) SFA - SHSU - they have found a QB
(2-1) SLU at (2-0) UIW - UIW at home - they are the breakthough team
(0-2) HBU at (1-1) UCA - HBU - I saw what the Bears looked like with #7.
(2-1) Nicholls at (1-1) NWST - Upset special -- NWST at home.

Just FYI, QB Ty Brock was named SLC player of the week for is first start. That's setting the bar pretty high. http://www.gobearkats.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=19900&ATCLID=211774190

It's what happens when your opponent practices two weeks for one QB and a new one with a different skill set comes in and has a field day...and your defense doesn't adjust to it. (I really don't think an adjustment would have been that hard.) I would like to know however what jinx that field has for WRs for both teams. Our sure handed WRs and some of yours dropped easy wide open balls while impossible catches were made one handed. xlolx


Oh and when was the last time UCA didn't have at least ONE player named to POTW by this point in the season? NONE. Unreal.

You are right. There were quite a few drops. We are really excited about Brock but, like you said, teams will adjust the game plan for him and take away his strengths. Is Breylin out for the year?

I kept asking: Why don't we leave a LB in the middle for QB contain on a pass play? Our DB's were doing a pretty decent job in coverage. Let's not let their QB keep running for first downs.

My understanding is he'll have X-Ray today and they'll know for sure. Doesn't look good though.

Baugh is capable QB that has had playing time. I think nerves got to him Saturday night (well, he and the center). He's a pretty decent QB that gave Breylin some competition during spring practice. I think having HBU this week will help him settle into the role if Breylin is done for the year.

The conference needs you guys to stay strong. Hopefully Baugh can fill in and get you back on a winning streak. And yes, HBU is always nice to see when you need a win.

[McNeese72]

(1-2) ACU at (3-0) McNeese: even though our offense is looking very anemic. I still think the rain and the SFA defense had something to do with it.
(1-1) SHSU at (1-2) SFA: this is almost a tossup. I think SFA is looking better especially on defense
(2-1) SLU at (2-0) UIW: just going with the home team. Also, it looks like UIW has a running game.
(0-2) HBU at (1-1) UCA: going with the home team
(2-1) Nicholls at (1-1) NWST: Nicholls too tought for NWST.

We have a winner.

New coach might not have made that adjustment. It's a learning experience I guess. But it's something we now know we need to do if that ever happens again. It's tough enough to win at SHSU with a full team. It's one of those places that is just that way. I thought we could have taken more shots down field though. Did you see Brandon Meyers on the sideline after his last dropped pass. Kid looked bummed. He's always been sure handed and Saturday those 3 drops (if I recall) got to him mentally. Even coach brought it up in the post game interview. Time to bounce back Brandon! xthumbsupx

[Hood]

(2-1) Nicholls at (1-1) NWST - Upset special -- NWST at home. I wouldn't lend home field advantage in a Nicholls/NWST game. Both teams travel well against each other neutralizing the advantage. Usually the winner is just the better team or the refs cheated (that's a joke since we are behind in the series lol).

He had a rough game. That first long pass was dropped in perfectly. The second was harder but still in his hands. He’ll bounce back.

Since 2000 SHSU is 15-3 in this game, but with the exception of 5 seasons it has been close every game.

But if you talk with a kat fan you would think they have won by 50 points every year. :)

Like a true AGS poster....it’s not about winning or losing, was it close or not is the true measure. I’m old school, it’s all about wins, if it’s by 1 or 50.

Well I've had a couple of days to reflect on the game against SHSU and our season. First off Sammy played a heck of a game and found their QB. We likely lost ours. But coming into the season replacing the head coach, other assistant coaches, all but the one Olineman, QB, many talented defensive players etc. etc. we knew it was either going to be a reloading or rebuilding season. With the loss of Breylin I can now say its a rebuilding season. We lost just too much to overcome. Only ONE season has UCA not been in second or tied for second in conference if we haven't won it. While I'm an optimist I also think we have now lost too many parts for that to happen. Had he stayed in that game we likely would have snuck out of Huntsville with a win and likely gone on later in the season to face McNeese for a shot at the conference. Ugh. But that's the way it goes sometimes. Breylin will be back for two more years and that's a good thing. Now we get to see what Baugh can do for the offense with a week of practice under his belt against HBU at home. I predict a win and some GOOOOOOOD tailgating! xbowx

The beauty of college football is that, no matter how poorly your team plays, you can always have a hell of a good time tailgating.

[BEAR]

Well, we could go this route at QB also:

BeSean McCray- QB
PREVIOUS SCHOOL: 2017 All-District 5-8A First Team...2017 FHSAA All-State Honorable Mention...
Orlando Sentinel All-Orlando Team...
Three-Star Recruit by ESPN...
123rd-ranked dual-threat QB in the nation by 24/7 Sports...
helped lead Dr. Phillips High School to the the Florida 8A State Championship...
finished the 2017 by completeing 167-of-241 passes (69.2%) for 2,208 yards (13.2 yards per completion) and 20 touchdowns...
ran the ball 71 time for 608 yards (8.6 yards per carry) and eight touchdowns


Doesn't he get 4 games before he has to declare redshirt? Or is that only applicable to the first 4 games of the year?

Sam Houston is playing TBD.

[BEAR]

TBD- A small college outside of San Fran Tokyo. Their starting QB is a transfer from BYE-U. He was upset that he wasn't getting any playing time last year. Heard his backup is now complaining the same thing. TBD runs a 4-3 and enjoys competition from ALL levels of football including the NFL.

Can't wait to see this game! xbowx

Apparently, the Environmentalists have taken exception to Lumberjacks, since it deals with deforestation and loss of woodland creature habitat, as well as water conservation, so the school in Nacogdoches is currently seeking an atlernative mascot name.

TBD could mean To Be Determined...or....it could mean Texas Bio Diversity....

[BEAR]

Losses by Lamar (already 4 losses), HBU, SFA, SLU (must win conference), and ACU put them out of any at-large post season hopes with 4 losses.

(0-2) HBU at (1-1) UCA
(2-1) Nicholls at (1-1) NWST

[BEAR]

Here's where I see the conference standing so far according to Massey: Some of the yellow and orange are so close. It isn't ranked from best to worst just but only by losses total and likelyhood of winning. Some teams with 2 losses or 3 losses are skating thin on getting booted.

Yeah. I saw that. But it is using the fact that it took SHSU OT to beat UCA, both ranked teams. It does not take into account UCA losing their QB which may affect the rest of their season. These %s will be worse next week if UCA beats HBU. xlolx

[BEAR]

Are they road games for McNeese?

McNeese gets UCA at home and goes on the road for SLU

[BEAR]

After tomorrow it is likely that up to 7 SLC teams could have at least 3 losses already!

[Outsider1]

Can we just put ACU in the red now????

[lionsrking2]

There's a decent chance everybody finishes with two or more losses.

[BEAR]

I'm looking at it this way. If you have 3 losses in the SLC where 7 teams already have 3 losses just 5 or 6 games into the season... you're likely OUT of post season consideration unless you WIN the conference. IF things stay the way they are, McNeese and Nicholls will go onto the playoffs with SHSU also on the border of looking for an at large spot.

Love it Bear, one of the things we really like about Darrel, and some of our other coaches, is how much they engage the athletes in the community. I would love to see our teams do even more, but I also see our student athletes take trips with other members of the student body as well as their team.

We are getting the woodshed right now.

Ty Brock is the real deal, wow 4 years of that guy, we may never win another one of these.

Dont we take you to the woodshed every year? It never gets old though. I just thought y’all had a defense this year?

[SFA 93]

No, not every year but this year yes a big woodshed, we were brought back down to earth.

Ivey is going to have to blow up this embarrassment of a football program and start over.

This team with Brock is completely different than the team that played the first 3 games. Trust me we would have won all three and they would not have been close. He didn’t so we deal with it!

[katss07]

UIW is the real deal. Each week I get less and less worried about SELA and more worried or interested about UIW. Up at half by 10 after a 4 TD second q!

[SFA 93]

I hope he stays healthy, his legs have been through a lot from his high school days. He could be another great for your program.

[Wildcat1997]

Tough loss tonight but really valiant effort by our guys. Losing a close game to a top 10 team on the road is nothing to be ashamed of.

yeah been there done that :D

[FormerPokeCenter]

ACU's for real...you guys have a great offense! I can't really tell much about your defense, since our offense and line are kinda suspect...but, I was impressed with the way you guys came in and gave us all we wanted!

[Outsider1]

I tried to tell you guys about UIW, but their win against SLU impresses even me. It makes our smaller loss to them a little more tolerable to stomach... Someone will stop them though.

[BEAR]

Guys I think we found a QB. Yeah it was HBU but he looked so calm. I heard the post game interview and Hales sounded like Archie Manning.

Were you nervous?
Nawh. I know the plaaays.

OMG. I cracked up!

I can't laugh too much. Kid is deadly with that arm.

[Hood]

Anyone want to explain why there are blackouts on the FCS level? I worked all day and got home to the Nicholls @ NWST game on ESPN3 via ESPN app, Comcast, and Playstation Vue blacked out.

[SFA 93]

Eric Morris will be SLC coach of the year, now let's see how long UIW keeps him.

Kudos to the UIW AD for identifying him out of the Texas Tech staff.

[BEAR]

UCAs QB has changed even more.

1st string QB Breylin Smith out the rest of the year with a broken ankle.
2nd string QB Kirk Baugh out with a shoulder injury.
3rd string QB Luke Hales now starting.
4th string QB Besean McCray etting into rotation.

[bwbear]

I was thinking about it like this:

UCA's offense put up 52 points with a 3rd string QB. Defense contributed the other 14.

The coaches did a great job finding the weaknesses in HBU's defense and exploiting them.

[Daytripper]

No, not every year but this year yes a big woodshed, we were brought back down to earth.

Ivey is going to have to blow up this embarrassment of a football program and start over.

Austin Peay coach is coming your way next year.

[SFA 93]

It will be interesting to see who Ivey has on his radar.

At this point it couldn't get much worse.

The players are pretty mad and demoralized, but they refuse to give up and that being said the Jacks may bounce back against UCA at home this weekend as we seem to win at least one game a season we are not suppose to win.

Or it could be yet another blow out :) We will see.

But yes Lumberjack fans are excited to see what Ivey has in store at the conclusion of the season, mostly likely have a new head coach committed in waiting before the end of the season and ready to step in.

The blackout was because it was a local/regional broadcast origination, on CST, as opposed to a national one, like ESPN. So the blackout rules remain in effect. They want people tuned in to CST to watch it, not ESPN3. Pretty sucky, in my opinion, but that's the reason.

Also, your defense is stout. Wish the Demons would have taken advantage of all that great field position early...
