You are a good FCS program,that's all. Soon, you have to play good teams week after week. You may want to do a little research on the SBC teams that were FCS stars and how they performed after moving up?

Who else in the SBC were at Southern and App's level in FCS? Who else transitioned while playing at a very high level?

Not trying to start a fight or pump chests, but I'm just unsure to which teams you are referring when you say FCS stars.

I didn't follow WKU but can tell you that their fans were like yours, they were going to be top dogs pretty easily. It was all talk until they came in and it suddenly got quite. Arkansas State was a power in FCS, ULM had its success. I think most teams were. Be best if you would do your own research.

Here's some research:

Arkansas State - 1986 NC losers, 1992 move-up - 5 years before transition (0.400) - 5 years after transition (0.278)
ULM - 1987 NC winners, 1994 move-up - 5 years before transition (0.667) - 5 years after transition (0.357)
Texas State - 2005 semifinal losers, 2012 move-up - 5 years before transition (0.500) - last year (0.333)
WKU - 2002 NC winners, 2009 move-up - 5 years before transition (0.517) - 5 years after transition (0.327)

Louisiana never played 1-AA as we are frequently reminded.

To contrast:

Georgia Southern - 85, 86, 89, 90, 99, 00 NC winners, 2014 move-up - last 5 years (0.646), last 3 years (0.721)
App State - 05, 06, 07 NC winners, 2014 move-up - last 5 years (0.738), last 3 years (.703)

It doesn't matter what you do in FCS.....It's an entirely different level of football. It's like high school -vs- college or college -vs- NFL.

The quality of your team is eaten up by the depth of the competition. Depth that you can't possibly have until you have a few years to develop it.

It will be somewhat like playing in the 1-AA playoffs every week for 12 weeks only tougher.

There are no breathers. Coming in you can expect to maybe hang with the other move-ups, but the other teams are already acclimated to playing Oregon and Alabama and Nebraska and Auburn weekly.

You have no idea what a toll better overall competition every week can take.

You are all about to learn.

How much success did Marshall and Boise State have before moving up? Idaho? I mean granted, Boise State has performed well, should be the model of what everyone who moves up aspires to be, but it's been the exception, not the norm.
And the whole debate on how well Ga. Southern/App play FBS opponents for a half or whatever, the players, coaches and fans of those teams if they're keeping it real will tell you they don't care about the game. They view it as a glorified dress rehearsal/scrimmage where the fans have to pay for tickets to see a game that there's no way they should lose or even feel be competitive in it. The players can't get fired up for it, and coaches know the games can be more of a nuisance than anything. Phillip Fulmer was on 104.5 TheZone in Nashville last Saturday discussing this very thing, he'd rather play schools from major conferences intersectionally than play teams out of the Sun Belt and C-USA. So when you see in cases of Ga. Southern, gimmicky offense that not many teams run go against a major team, said team isn't excited to play you, the stadiums are 1/3 empty, the fans aren't cheering very loudly, I even had a former player tell me one time after playing an unnamed Sun Belt team that the game and the gameplan had all the seriousness and atmosphere of the Sping game.
I watched that Ga. Southern/Georgia game. They were so ridiculously vanilla with what they do offensively and defensively it was pathetic. Bottom line is you had a chance to lead then gave up a big play at the end of the first half. Down two scores, blown out in the 3rd quarter after the coaches reminded the team that you guys had nothing to lose. Your offense keeps you competitive with big teams until an adjustment or two is made, then it's a bludgeoning.
Since 2004: Here are your results against P5 teams.
Georgia 48-28 Loss
Colorado State - 42-34 - LOSS (The Rams finished that year 3-9 in the MWC)
Georgia 45-21 LOSS
UNC 42-12 LOSS - Tar Heels were 8-5 and lost to Pitt in the Bowl game.
Navy - 13-7 LOSS - I'll count Navy even though they're not a true major program.
Alabama - 45-21 LOSS
Georgia - 45-14 LOSS

So in these games, Ga. Southern has been beaten by an average of 40-18 (17.5 to be exact). Defend it, say you did this, that or whatever but numbers never lie, that's an average of three touchdowns and if you take out Navy and Colorado State, it gets worse.
Expect a transition period, I know you guys think you'll come in and do whatever, and that first year you might, but transfers and partial qualifiers will eventually run out.

If it's like playing in the playoffs every week, I'm down with that. We're 45-13 all time in the playoffs. That's a 0.776 winning percentage in case you're not a math guy.

It's gonna' be a lot of fun watching GaSo/Appy fans learn the pecking order in the farmyard.

USA was a startup last year and they were pretty competitive in most games. We will be a ver seasoned and experienced team next year. We will be competitive in every game and win our share.

Look at USA's win/loss record.

Playing at this level is about winning.

You may be competitive in many games, but you won't have the depth to play a whole season, and your win total will reflect it.

I expect we will be .500 more or less for 3 or 4 years. We are a better program than other fcs teams that have moved up but the week in and week out competition will prohibit any better than that.

USA was not very good and they were competitive. We will have a lot of experienced seniors next year. Add the fact that teams usually struggle with the triple option the first time, we will do well.

It'll work for a game or two until film on how to defend it gets around, and then your success will drop off the map due to your offensive lines being outplayed by bigger and stronger defensive linemen than you've ever faced week-in, week-out.

It's no secret how to stop our offense. There's plenty of film out there on it. The problem is getting your players to execute better than our players.

Oh, I suspect it will 'get it.'

The offense isn't perfect, no. And it can and has been stopped. But it tends to work pretty well and can be successful at any level. Especially if it remains unique enough that teams don't have time to prepare for it.

But the offense alone won't win games. Georgia Southern will have to play defense and special teams to win against good opponents. We've seen that at the FCS level -- it won't be any different in FBS.
What will be different is, as you say, the level of depth and size and strength.


But hopefully we'll eventually have the numbers to run opponents ragged. Those bigger and stronger defensive linemen will perhaps face faster and more agile players in numbers and they'll get winded. At some point, our depth should keep players fresher.

I just know If I were coach I'd certainly be looking for linemen to run the game at a pace that would wear opposing defenses out. I'd use alternate linemen on different series, etc.

Course, I'm no coach. I just love watching the offense when it works.

Sun Belt better get used to this guy as he will be a senior in 2014. He was a freshman here.

If you have $4 to spare, rent the Ga Southern vs Bama game. Very entertaining to hear how concerned the announcers were when we were within 10 late in the 3rd.

Course, I'm no coach. I just love watching the offense when it works.

Every defense in the SunBelt plays weekly against hurry up no huddle offenses. You won't be able to run anybody's defense out of gas.

Until your O-line and D-line bulk up to size, every Saturday will be a learning experience.
