Now we can see if North Alabama is any good. UNA is currently up 8-7 over SEMO in the 2nd.

Halftime and the game is still close, but UNA is still up 15-13.

Well, UNA played well for the first half, but had a pretty dreadful 2nd half and lose to SEMO 15-37.

I think we can take them. Tarleton? Yes, I think so. They showed their defensive weaknesses, but the combo of Gabalis, Britten & Cooper are hard to stop when combined with their OL. They couldn't do much with Gabalis' game ending injury. We'll have to watch that as the season progresses. If he stayed in the game, what would the score look like? UNA? Yes as well. As usual, they have weapons but have trouble finishing games. How much will that improve by the time we play them? We play them both at their home stadiums, on the road.

UNA seems to be who we think they are. I was a bit disappointed in Tarleton. Even with Gabalis in the game they only managed one drive. Britten had a good game in the middle of the field but the Texans red zone offense was lacking yesterday. I feel sure it will get better. But, I doubt Baylor will be as generous as McNeese.

Will be interesting to see how Tarleton does against Baylor this week. Baylor is “horrid” (quoting my Baylor cousin) so Tarleton has a chance for an upset if they play well.

McN is really not very good. Tarleton is playing pretty well but probably should be winning bigger. But it’s game 1. I will have to disagree with you on this one. I thought McNeese looked really good on both sides of the ball, but turnovers and penalties killed them. The end was just a bad coaching decision and bad luck on a relatively easy FG (25-30 YARDER) but if you clean up the fumbles and penalties they will be scary good. I would put them at worst 3rd in SLC but I think if they stay healthy they will win the SLC this year. Their entire roster is new and littered with FBS transfers plus the Montana dual threat QB. Go back and watch the game on Youtube and you can easily tell they were bigger and had more talent than we did overall. As far as our FB team, our D is very suspect but opportunistic and the lack of penalties showed that they are a disiplined squad. Without Gaballis as QB our O is pretty much a one trick Pony with Britten running the ball. We do have very Talented Backs and pretty good recievers IF we have a QB that can find them. He will miss the Baylor ( we probably would not win with him in anyway) and HCU ( We should win at "CVS stadium" regardless of who is QB) game but should be back for conference games. Mark my words about McNeese, they are very good! As far as the UAC, I think its wide open for now with UNA, UWG, and UTT at the bottom and everyone else fighting it out for the top spot. RC-- The crowd was not that big because of 2 reasons, 1 it has hellishly hot and 2 it was the first time we were on National TV (Football) so the novelty of watching the game on TV and the heat kept people away. That is my story and Im sticking to it!

I still thought I would see more out of the Tarleton offense, but it's game 1. Also, I agree that McNeese improved even though they need to fine tune their new pieces. Both teams were very physical and it will take a VERY disciplined and physical team to beat you guys.

I am very worried about our D, hoping it was because McNeese was/is really good. They had a hard time stopping anything run/pass before the Cowboys gained atleast 10 yards. If our D lets everyone rip off 500 yards a game we are going to be in big trouble! I do not think we will learn much against Baylor, but the HCU game after that should be telling, if we struggle in that one like against McNeese, we will not be ranked for long. I am anxious to see how everyone else in conference fares against FCS competition. Playing Baylor and Tech will probably not tell us anything about how we will fare against the rest of the schedule, but It would be nice if we could be competitive against Big XII Teams, though I fear both will be lopsided victories for Tech and Baylor.

Well, while NDSU faired pretty well against Colorado (minus the pass attack), SUU not so much against the Utes. The Thunderbirds fell 49-0 in Salt Lake City.
