Nice win, Jags! Attendance needs to improve though.

Congrats to USA. I enjoyed watching the end of the game. Hopefully, people will start to realize the SB plays good football!

Fun game to watch. Nice win Jags!

They are. That's why we've already exceeded our ESPN deal for nationally televised broadcasts less than halfway through the season.

Great win Jags

Winning big games at home helps. Understand that USA has had a nasty habit of cr*pping the bed at home in big games. Get a sellout against an unranked Miss State team 2 years ago....lose by 50 (Miss State did eventually get ranked). NC State at home..another 50 point home loss. This year, go beat Miss State on the road, then don't show up for Ga Southern the next week at home then get into a dogfight with a FCS team in the next home game, etc.

Combined with half the town and our students going downtown for a music festival and Alabama and Auburn playing at the same time...and the assumption by many fans that USA was going to get crushed...~15k sounds about right. On campus stadium...we'd have 10k more at that game.

We don't have 100 years of history. Building up fan support will take time. We will get there.

Not to diminish your point because we often crap the bed, but the 2014 MSU loss was 35-3.

I love my Jaguars! I do HAVE concerns about Coach Jones ability to get the team ready mentally for each and every game.

Nice win. I only saw the second half but they looked good and really slowed down SDSU's running attack.

Again, nice win but USA attendance left a lot to be desired. I watched online and I'm
not sure where the 14,741 total attendance number came from. It seemed a lot less, but I guess schools at our level are known for a little inflation.

I can promise you..there's no inflation at USA. We don't do that. No idea why we don't. But we don't.

Our stadium is big and most of our fans sit on the side with the TV cameras.

That game kept showing the sideline with the student section and the band. Most of the season ticket holders are on the pressbox side, which isn't showed much on TV. There are a number of fans that leave around halftime and some that show up around halftime. Technically Ladd can hold up to 40,000 seats, most games we allow up to 33K seats. On Campus Stadium will improve attendance especially if we are winning. The plan is somehow get money for 25K seat stadium, to make the stadium look fuller. The questions about a new stadium is money, location, what do with Senior Bowl, what do with Dollar General Bowl(used to be GoDaddy Bowl).
