I was surprised to see them as the road team tonight.

Funny seeing the #11 team in the nation going to a school that recently moved to FBS.

I'm going tonight.

Hope to still be there after halftime... not feeling good about it though

Callaghan's will be calling my name after Okie takes about a 20 point lead

Not to take anything away from OSU, but the Jags can keep this a respectable contest. South is solid on both the offensive and defensive lines.

The key will be USA's ability to tackle in the secondary. Last week that inability led to two huge plays by Ole Miss that broke the game open.

On offense, the Jags have two solid RBs and an offense that can move the ball 20 to 20 and take time off the clock. They must be able to convert in the red zone after they didn't last week. The other big need is for receivers to improve catching the ball.

USA has played two big name opponents in Mobile - Miss State and NC State. South should have been up 14-0 on MSU to start the game, but didn't capitalize and MSU just methodically beat them down after that. NC State just ran all over the JAgs.

I kinda expect Okie to come out swinging and put the Jags down 14-0 before they know what hit them. Then South will start to creep back in....but trail by 17 at half.


The 3rd quarter will be decisive. If jags can cut the lead to 14 or 10, they have a shot. If they give up a big pass/run/return TD and the offense stalls....it could get ugly.


Hoping for the one where the Jags compete. I'll be there either way.

They're going to win all of these and try to develop a presence and brand recognition in the regions they're located in.

When Baylor played at ULM, the Baylor AD cited the rising cost of getting a team to come play at your stadium without a return trip. It's likely an issue for many power 5 schools that don't have 80k+ stadiums (more seats more money made/ easier to pay big bucks for schools to come play you).

Since T boone pickens stadium only seats 60k, I would assume they would have similar issues.

Stadium looks empty. I thought with the Pokes coming to town there would be close to a full house.

Financially it is more advantageous for OSU to do 2 for 1 series than rent a wins

Apparently you have no idea about Oklahoma State's scheduling habits.

Dunno why everyone lately seems to be wondering why the hell G5 programs play home games.
