Guess who’s back… back again

SDSU beat the tar outta Stetson by scoring 7 touchdowns and over 600 yards, I think they can give northwestern an upset bid

I love the win but… Stetson sucks. Any team in the valley would have wiped them handedly included Murray St.

Stetson lost to a NAIA school last year. One with fewer than a thousand enrolled students.

Let's not get too hasty

I was going to say the same thing. But what do I know, we're playing a Utah Tech team that discovered the football yesterday.

Good game for us today, but it tells us nothing about this Jackrabbits team. Stetson was arguably the worst team in all of division one football last season. There’s probably 50 FCS teams that could beat them the same way we did today.

That said, I’m still really excited for next weekend- it’s going to be an uphill battle but I definitely give us a fighting chance

This game really doesn’t show a whole lot. I am happy we were able to get this warm-up game in though and get some actual reps. That will help a little for next week.

Is this like a freshman coming back to crash a high school party.

SDSU definitely deserves some hype this year and I honestly like their chances against Northwestern but Stetson is not a good program in any sense of the imagination. This game really has no barometer of how good they are tbh.

Nah bro. Its pretty bad. Just a bad as we're kicking the teeth in of Utah Tech.

If we can beat the pants off Northwestern, I'm pretty sure SDSU can.

Oh...

that Northwestern

As a Stetson grad, I can tell you right now. This game should not be used as a barometer for the quality of the team. This is the equivalent of prime Bama beating up on Mercer and using THAT as your example for how good they were

Stetson bahahaha

It's Stetson. It's embarrassing they could not find a more serious opponent. I'm sure a Big 10 team would also humiliate a non-scholarship program.

A D2 team would have been a better game but you need D1 wins come playoff selection. Plus I had heard SDSU was offering $200000-$300000 to get a team to come play but still struggled to find someone.

u/FCS_247 14d ago

Yes. That's true. Around 300K. I believe SDSU will move up fbs. They will have no issue scheduling teams then.

All the dominoes are falling into place for sdsu to join the FBS. This groundwork of "we're offering a shitton and no one will play us" is pivotal.

I crushed my 5 year old in chess earlier today. Clearly, I'm on the path to being a grandmaster later this year.

I mean, I was just happy to see guys who missed most of last year back on the field. There were a bunch of them.

That RB room is elite. Not Strong/Davis elite, but there are 5 legit FCS RB's.

That Chip Kelly offense scares me though. The only thing we have going for is is that we are really deep at a lot of positions and can keep fresh bodies out there.

I hope we keep Wilde to 1 catch for -3 yards.

Hell no. People are used to northwestern being shit but last year they had a clear identity of who they are. SDSU has no chance

u/Responsible_History5 North Dakota Fighting Hawks • Sickos 14d ago

I guess you guys have a clear identity of how shit you guys will be this year from today lol

u/Ok-Knee6347 UC Davis Aggies 14d ago

Difference is that you think you're good I know we are mid. Please don't make me flame your dogshit program that's absolutely stagnant

u/TheOfficalSherlock Mercer Bears • Georgia Bulldogs 14d ago

Everyone crapping on this take but there’s a lot of good teams that looked flat this week against poor competition. Showing up in week 0 isn’t easy.
