FIU by5

When ULL losses it's usually by a TD or more
Oklahoma St. 27
WKU 19
Arkansas St 9
Arizona 8
Oklahoma St. 41
North Texas 8
Arkansas St 23
Florida 7
Arkansas 20
Kansas St. 21

If WKU wins and I believe we will...it's by more than a TD . 2 TD's sounds about right

WKU by 14

So we have it correct I believe it's Louisiana-Lafayette or the University Louisiana-Lafayette...I can't find a University Louisiana on the WKU schedule

You know what you won't find. Not a single thread story about goats. The only goats will be the clots after the game. Bet your mountain shack on that big boy.

The Cajuns seem a little more solid so far. Both teams have played poorly at times, but maybe the Cajuns have done less of that. My prediction is not based on any kind of "perceived" hatred of WKU. I know its coming so can you guys hold on to that jealously card for one more post? Louisiana, in my opinion is simply the better team at this juncture.

One question when did this "solid play" for ULL happen?

was it against the worse team in the SEC, Arkansas?
was it against the K-State team that only has one other win 1-5 Massachusetts?
Must have been against the FCS Nicholls
I got it it was the 30-35 score against the 1-5 Akron team that impressed you
ULL did look solid beating TXST....other than that when?

No jealously card just a honest question

Also there will not be a single story about a coach lying to his AD to cover his sorry behind. A coach that has run from every hard situation, or created those for himself. I know there is a Vett assembly plant near WKU, but is there a Harley plant. Maybe he wants some more feeling of power between his legs.

Same can be said of WKU

Wku lost to USA
Blown out by Tennessee (bottom 3 in the SEC probably)
Beat Navy (who was just beaten by Duke 35-7)
Beat Morgan State
Beat a browningless ULM
Beat Kentucky (who I believe is worse than Arkansas)

I think UL has looked less worse.

A little hypocritical of you Mathenis. You do a considerable amount of belittling yourself. So is it the pot calling the ketting calling the coffee beans black?

I am going with the home team.

I am absolutely sure that when the WKU team load the box to kill the run, our receivers will destroy the Topper one on one. Look for several huge plays to number 15, 87, and 12. When the Toppers double the wide outs, and drop into a cover two look for Harris, and McGuire to run amuck.

When the WKU BEAST runs the ball, UL will have zero trouble one on one with the WKU receivers, so we load the box a little. We will not stop the WKU run game but we will control it.

Western has no quality wins. Scheduling is part of that. You could make an argument for Kentucky and ULM, but Kentucky is terrible, and you beat a Browning-less ULM who hasn't been good offensively even with Browning this year.

Louisiana, much of the same story, but their win over Texas State was impressive. A solid win. That's why they are "a little more solid" at this juncture. Not by much.

How is that Navy win looking bud? How about that KU win. Yea KU is awesome. About the seven turnovers to Tennessee? How is that Tennesee defense doing? Lots of picks right? No just against the clots. How bout the Jags. Yea at least we beat our newbie.

Who is KU? They play ULL much?

I think line wise, both teams are fairly equal, so lets look at the other positions. I think Andrews is a better back than Harris so on starters, yes, I agree he is better. At QB, Broadway is better than Doughty by leaps and bounds. At WR, there is no one on WKU's roster that can match the physical tools that Robinson has, he is incredibly physical and the only thing that can stop him is losing focus and a few drops he had the first 2 weeks.

Honestly, I think, whole team wise, this is a good matchup for both teams. Both teams defensive strengths match up with the opposing offensive strengths. I think honestly, the Cajuns X-factor is Broadway, if Broadway is allowed to have the kind of game everyone knows he's capable of, the Cajuns will win this game, so WKU must get pressure on him, get his feet moving where he may not want to go and take away his quick outlet passes so he can't get into a rhythm. Easier said than done. For WKU, Andrews needs to run like he can. WKU needs to get the ground game going and get the crowd into the game. WKU's pass game is efficient, but only when their run game is going. Without it, Doughty and WKU are prone to turnovers and poor decisions when the pass game is not buoyed by a good run game.

As of right now, it really is close as heck. I think the Cajuns can win, but I atleast understand the talent and coaching on the other sideline. I think the Cajuns win by less than a score, but would not be surprised if WKU wins. I think it will be within a TD in either direction.

Louisiana wins this game in a walk in front of barely 15,000 on a Tuesday night. Louisiana is just too good and WKU's weak schedule comes back to haunt them for an early Halloween trick or treat.

both run defenses are identical statistically. your defense had trouble stopping andrews last year when you knew it was coming every play from taggart.

western has the number 17 pass defense in the country. cajuns are number 51 so it may come down to who has a better passing game.

I'm not ready to dismiss the uk win as "not solid" just yet. Yes they are 1-5 but it's not like they played cupcakes and loss nor have they just flat out got stomped other than Bama.

5 losses
WKU
#7 UL by 14
#20 Florida by 17
#13 South Carolina by 7
#1 Bama by 35

Now lets look at Ark
loss to Rutgers by 4
loss to #10 by 12
loss to #20 by 20
loss to #13 by 45

So by anyone's definition
beating a SEC school by 9 and losing to a SEC that dominated the game from the get go and that team played worse or just as bad so far this season...

the more solid playing team would be the one that won..would you not agree?

We both beat the dog crap out of our FCS opponent...both solid

So that leaves us with Akron and TXST for ULL and ULM and Navy for Western.

I'm sorry but in no one's world outside of this board is a win over a school playing it's first full year in the SBC a more solid win than beating and holding a Navy team by 12 and 107 yards on the ground. There's a reason Navy isn't playing well right now...WKU knocked their QB out.

So that leaves us with Akron vs ULM a game ULL was losing mid way through the 4th quarter and a game where we shut out ULM in the 2nd half on their home field.

Yes WKU loss to USA on 2 fourth qt INT's but USA is a team who also took Troy to the very last play before giving up the win. Who also beat Tulane and took a SEC team to with in a TD..

So let get this correct you base your more solid on comparing beating TXST? Who loss at home to a team Western beat on the road.

OK got you

Our defense is run differently than it was last year, we changed our Def Coord in the offseason. In the same sense, the same run schemes won't be used like it was last season. I think the run game will be used to open the pass game which Petrino will want to use. If both teams run games get shut down and its a passing game shoot out, then WKU loses because our 2 best players on offense are Broadway and Robinson. That doesn't mean I think that's the way it plays out. I think WKU will get enough out of the run game to make us honest giving Doughty some space to make throws in the pass game. WKU will outrush the cajuns, but the cajuns will outpass WKU. Mistakes and the crowd have the ability to turn this game one way or another.

Haters Zee, don't you know we will get killed by that vastly superior team we are gonna face on Tuesday? Lord knows the the WKU RBs are getting the Tony Mitchell hype. There is no doubt this will be a war, and we may not come out on top, but we will not be overmatched by the menstral clots.

Fine, I'll play along. Just copied and pasted my comment from the other thread. Please notice I called you UL. I don't think people are intentionally slighting you, it just takes a while to get used to dropping an L. Also, I have thought about it and it would be better for stAte if you lost. If we ever want to get to the NOLA bowl, we can't be tied with you in conference. Also hoping that WKU gets "Bensoned" if we have a lot of teams bowl eligible.


Can't wait to watch this battle. I would give WKU the edge just because they are the home team. WKU win over ULM on the road is the best win between the two teams. I don't know which would be better for stAte. We play UL next week so would it be better them coming in confident after a win or a little nervous after a loss.

WKU 38 - UL - 31

Actually out of all of the teams in the Belt, Texas St and y'all are the two programs who have been respectful towards the Cajuns and I know I have a ton of respect for stAte.

With all of that being said, WKU is not God's gift to the Sun Belt. My position by position breakdown was accurate and got destroyed because I stated that WKU has flaws and Allen is not as good as Harris or McGuire. Hell I'm not sure Andrews is better than Harris, he has double the carries but nearly identical stats.

Defensively WKU is better at the LB and FS/SS positions, that's it. With WKU being at home it will be a hell of a game and the Cajuns will have to play very well like they did last week to win, but this is no gimme game for WKU like some toppers fans think.

.
If Harris is as good as Andrews why doesn't Hudspeth utilize him like Petrino uses Andrews? Andrews is currently 2nd in the nation in rushing yards while Harris is 127th. Also Andrews is 1st in the nation in all purpose yards and Harris is 249th. I mean stats don't always tell the whole story but I think the assertion is way off base.
The Cajuns have the advantage at receiver position but everywhere else is either even or the Toppers have the edge. Should be another great game though and I think the Toppers win unless we have problems with Broadway making big plays on 3rd down then the Cajuns could very well come out with the W.

Akron lost by 7 to #23 NIU yesterday, and the week before they played us, lost by 4 to #18 Michigan, so lets stop acting like that Akron team that we beat on the road is some kind of HBCU or NAIA team. They aren't world beaters, but that win on the road is better than your loss to USA.

Any win is better than a loss...ANY but USA has another good win also. Tulane is 5-2

But if we must compare scores then we must...

Navy beat IU @Indiana and DESTROYED them on the ground with 444 rushing yards. The same Indiana that almost doubled up the score (44-24) on the Penn St team that just beat Mich....

see how that works?
