UWF definitely rebounds against NSU and I think EKU finally gets a win against UWG at home. ACU keeps the momentum for now and beats UCA before hitting the road. Now for the really tough one. I have had Tarleton rated higher than AP all year, as pretty much everyone else, but I think they will need a full and balanced game against the Govs. Honestly, I have struggled to know if they are as good as last year or not. This is their first REAL test. Last year came down to 1 point in OT. What will happen this year?

Tarleton better have those helmets strapped on tight come Saturday afternoon. Word on the street is AP is still butthurt about last year's game in the Ville and have this game circled on their calendar. No doubt we are gonna get punched in the face this week, it will interesting to see how we respond

Tarleton Vs. Austin Peay.
First team to 50 wins. Feel like Austin Peay can get there a lot easier than we can. If still missing six starters, Tarleton has no chance.

Yes - Tarleton's passing game has not been nearly as effective since slot Tanner Schmidt went down. We'll definitely need that dude on the field if we end up in a shootout, which is highly likely.

OT Moe started and played in last week’s Chicago State game.

UWF has cancelled their game with D2 NE State due to the impending weather situation here on the Gulf Coast.

ACU should win fairly easily, the other 2 are tosss ups. I will go with Tarleton and EKU but not super confident in either of them coming away with a victory. Our D could not really stop much last year either, but they got a ton of turnovers. This year there has been a drought in that department. If we can capitalize on a few turnovers we should be ok. But if we have to rely on a last second field goal we are screwed.

The Govs have sold out:

And was graded bad. Missing 3 wide receivers and a running back, another o-lineman. Yeah, we all know Nix can’t coach himself out of a wet paper bag, so Tarleton has to outscore AP. I don’t think that’s gonna be possible. Hope I’m wrong. Somebody tell me why I’m wrong. I just don’t see anything but a two score loss.

I don’t get all the Nix hate. We’ve had a good to very good defense since Nix has been here. This is the first year our defense has been sub par.

One bad year out of several doesn’t make a bad coordinator.

LFG!!!

Are you kidding me Clark? This defense has been horrible when playing a team with a heartbeat. Last years flukey turnover ratio hid a terrible defense. Were you not there when ACU drove the field in like :38?? Whitten has never given a crap about defense and NiX is his crowning achievement!!

Didn’t see this coming Tarleton all over AP 23-3 in the 2nd Quarter

For the 38th game in a row, the great Tarleton defense gives up a td before half. Might be enough time for two actually.

Tarleton QB continues to impress.

Tarleton leads 30-10 3rd

Hey, we won one.

AP scores Cuts lead to 33-25 middle of 4th

Tarleton D continues to be meh at best
