The WAC game on Friday was at least entertaining.

This SBC football is not very good.

I thought Louisiana-Lafayette looked solid.
The game on now has been pretty sloppy.

hmmmm, what game were you watching? lol
It was a better 2nd half.
Louisiana is a possible mac bowl opponent
KSU played Louisiana (whose only loss is to Ok St) and they looked as good as the better (not best) MAC teams. I'd slot them in behind Toledo and Temple as things stand now, on a par with NIU-WMU, certainly better than the other East teams.

It's been a grim season at KSU where better things were expected, but looking back at how the season started, we played still undefeated 'Bama and Kansas St, and one loss ULL.

Impressive. That's the best OOC schedule in the conference. Ball state, wmu's, and Toledo's are impressive as well

How's their O-Line?

From what I've seen of the SBC (admittedly limited), their O-Lines typically look smallish and/or less athletic then the ones in the MAC. Although they may have a size edge on D-Line. And the OL blocking, both Run and Pass, doesn't seem as well coached. (very broad brush I know, but just an observation).

I would say that is an accurate assessment. We actually had a size advantage, though, on their D-line, but it didn't matter with our ineffectual O-line play this season.

They are a pretty good team, though.
Louisiana's OL avg's about 6'3"-6'4" 305 lbs.
