We have concluded another week of SBC football action, so just wanted to shoot out my quick thoughts/reactions on the week....
Biggest Surprise: Georgia State
After the Panthers blew it in week 1, I definitely left them for dead despite 11 games remaining on the season. However a completely different Georgia State showed up in Las Cruces and New Mexico State was playing catch up all night, down 11 early and 16 late in the game. Though the three turnovers almost spoiled the Panthers night, Georgia State was able to hang on to score their first conference AND FBS win. Now it seems Aggies are the ones down for the count early in the '15 season whereas Panthers have some fight left in them.
Biggest Disappointment: App State
First off, believe me New Mexico State could easily be here and Clemson is certainly the real deal-perhaps the fact that having so many returners back on offense, I bought into the hype but I certainly thought the Mountaineers could beat the 17 point spread. Despite the 38 point set back, I have no doubt Appalachian State will be able to bounce back and have another solid showing next week on the road against the Monarchs.
RC Cola Memorial Comeback of the Week goes to....Georgia Southern!!
After the very disheartening week 1 showing the Eagles had against West Virginia, Georgia Southern had a fantastic back bounce week and scored the Belt's first nonconference FBS win for the '15 season against a Bronco squad that was picked to wind up third in the MAC West (according to the MAC Coaches). With another seemingly tune up game coming next week against the Citadel followed by a another seemingly easy win coming in Moscow, Eagles look primed to jump out to another hot start to the '15 season.
Player of the Week: NMSU QB Tyler Rogers
Despite a losing effort, Junior QB Rogers had a very impressive effort against Georgia State last Saturday; he went 31/55 for 445 yards three touchdowns. He accounted for 21 of the Aggies 34 total points. If Aggies are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the 'Belt, it will come from the arms of Rogers I imagine.
The Early Storyline I'm Looking Forward to Next Week: SBC vs G5 Conferences
The first two weeks of the 2015 season, we've seen the belt go 1-2 against other g5 conferences, but in week 3 we'll have some very key and crucial match ups, one against the CUSA and two against the MWC...
-NMSU vs UTEP
Texas State vs Southern Miss
-South Alabama vs San Diego State
Once again, the SBC has had a slow start in OOC, however week 3 provides a chance for the Belt to send some waves in the G5 land.
