We return the MWC offensive, defensive and special teams players of the year. We lose three starters on defense but due to injuries their backups have a ton of experience. One pretty much had has way with the Cincinnati OL in the Hawaii bowl.
On offense we lose a RT, RG, FB and WR. We've been recruiting OL like crazy recently and have guys ready to step in.
We may slip up this year but I wouldn't bet on it.
cincy was getting destroyed by everyone by seasons end...the life had been taken from them
it was 51-3 halftime in usf vs cincy
Hmm...
11/07/15 @ 8 Houston L 30-33
11/14/15 Tulsa W 49-38
11/20/15 @ South Fla. L 27-65
11/28/15 @ East Caro. W 19-16
If losing by three to mighty Houston and beating two other conference mates is getting destroyed by everyone I'd hate to see what you call what we did to them.
Quote:but i kinda have HUGE question marks for sdsu aswell ..
like i noted in an earlier response i have sdsu #2 "on paper" but don't have them anywhere in my top 5 from my gut feeling
sdsu had an amazing run to finish the year, but it was in arguably the worst division in fbs football last year, from performance, and your bowl was against a team that was imploding
but sdsu schedule isn't very good next year ..so even if sdsu isn't great they might still win a ton...a rebuilding cal and niu who could both end up 7wins and under are the best 2 teams you play next year
What questions do you have about our team other than the schedule?
watch the games and stop looking at blank stats
Houston was up 3tds late in the 4th, a phantom offensive PI where neither player even touched took away a TD and gave them great field position to make the game look closer
Seems like you need to take your own advice. Houston was never up three TDs in that game it all. In fact Houston's largest lead was 16 points late in the 3rd. It was a three point game for the last half of the 4th quarter.
Quote:and barely beating a 2 sub .500 teams and i mean barely (especially for ecu), proves your point how????
My point? They're called facts. You said they were blown out by everybody down the stretch which was clearly factually incorrect. They were blown out by exactly ONE team.
Quote:and i call what you did to them destroying, like everyone else did who was decent....it was 51 TO 3 at HALFTIME!!!!!!! When they played USF....
So USF was the only decent team they played down the stretch?
Quote:and atleast those teams got to play against cincy's starting qb...
if you want to hype up that win into something it wasnt, go ahead ..but everyone not biased noticed that though talented they were in complete disarray when you played them...their qb wasnt even injured "he chose not to make the trip"
The same QB that started against SDSU started against USF but that doesn't stop you from hyping up that win.
Quote:but for questions
1) you have no legit passing game
We have a decent passing game we just don't need to throw the ball 40 times like you spread teams. We run the ball until you can prove that you can stop us.
Quote:2) your run game is straight forward and has very little to do with trickery (like the triple options)
You clearly didn't watch us play if you believe this. No we aren't an option team but our run game is far from straight forward.
Quote:1 and 2 make me question how sdsu would do versus teams more talented than them, straight up running and winning the line of scrimmage is something you can do versus everyone in the MWC as you out-recruited everyone you played (didnt/dont play boise)
just x and o's wise i truly question how youd do versus better teams
which is evident in your cal ad psu games..your run game as completely shut down in those 2 games
Lack of running didn't cost us those games turnovers did. Those got us behind which forced us away from running the ball. We had 12 turnovers all season. Almost half came in those two games alone.
Quote:3) you lost south alabama
That was a terrible loss there's no denying that. It may have been a blessing in disguise though as that game seems to have been the turning point for Rocky changing his stripes.
1) you clearly didnt read where i wrote , the 3rd td lead was taken away by a phantom call...clearly proving my exact point that you are looking at a stat sheet..and have zero clue how the game went...when you score a td and its taken away by a call it doesnt get put on the stat sheet....Houston was never in real jeopardy and a ref blunder (and an injury) kept the score close and cause a 14pt swing when the game was over...
and you didnt watch a single Cincy game i bet, stop telling people who watched every game how they were...most people in this forum said sdsu wasnt good in the pregame picking but that cincy was collapsing with tubs..no one expected that score but everyone predicted that winner despite thinking sdsu wasn't good...even the ecu game was a major sign of collapse, cincy was easily putting 40 good defenses to start the year and the previous year (and viewed as the by far best offense in the league preseason) but were struggling to put up any points versus a not good ecu...
2) gunner kiel started the usf game, the 5tar qb who was a redshirt junior...hayden moore the freshmen started for sdsu...i hate when people try to call people out on "facts" but are completely wrong...but go ahead
your facts are just not accurate at all..but live in your lies its a free world
3) "Lack of running didn't cost us those games"..3yds a carry (dramatically lower than average) and pumpreys statistical worst two games of the season on a team heavily reliant on the run but whatever floats your boat
4) obviously you arent running the same run play but i watched numerous sdsu games, your offense is built around winning the line of scrimmage, which was my point..its an offense reliant on talent in respect to your competition
5) the turning point was that you started playing your division schedule versus horrible teams
you seem set in your opinion of sdsu ....no need to debate you think beating the MWC west and a collapsing cincy has proven sdsu is legit, thats fine, we all have opinions, next year they will have a chance to prove themselves if they can handle their relatively easy schedule and get the access bowl..IMO sdsu will lose atleast 3 games, even with the easy schedule
