Air Force sort of got screwed by the bowl system this year. The reason South is sitting here is because no one else wanted to play them, but someone had to.

That actually would have been a somewhat interesting matchup with the Cajuns. The Cajuns run defense has been their most consistent group this year.

And you guys are better than us with the option.

Something has got to give in this game. We can't stop the option, but we seem to play better against them in our big sports. This might be a tougher matchup for us than SDSU, but we beat Pelphrey twice. I'm afraid this, besides being a less desirable bowl, is a really bad matchup for USA. But we're 2-0 when more than a 2 touchdown dog this year. I suspect that we will be a 15 point dog by kickoff.

Yep

There are games you are supposed to win,
Games you are supposed to lose,
and games against South Alabama.

RE: Article: Falcons deserve better than USA
On paper, it's true... Air Force (9-3) deserves better than USA (6-6).

But that's only on paper, if you look at NOTHING other than records.

USA earned their spot, hopefully will give Air Force hell, and in the process make that writer eat his words.

RE: Article: Falcons deserve better than USA
I don't have a problem with the article. . .. It reads about as one would expect when a 9-3 team is getting ready to take on a 6-6 in a bowl.

On paper, this is a mismatch . . . If Jags have an issue . . . settle it on the field, otherwise the writer's spot on . . .

With any luck at all, for Jag, AF takes y'all lightly . . . Or comes in underwhelmed, underprepared, and Jag scores the upset . . . Bowl season's usually good for that.

Because of their record, Air Force did deserve a better opponent but that is the bowl system for you.

Excellent opportunity for USA to strike a major blow for the Sun Belt.

This is an awful matchup for USA. Oh well...lets see if we can get monster OOC upset number 3 of the season. Like SDSU and Miss State, we will be a 15+ point dog in this one by kickoff.

ESPN has led the effort to turn a grand idea into a farce, and South Alabama's Jaguars are lead actors in that farce. Listen, Jaguars, this is not personal. Air Force is a worthy bowl team this season. The Falcons continued a five-game winning streak with a dramatic, impressive, program-lifting victory over Boise State. The reward for this excellence is virtually no reward. The Falcons deserved better than South Alabama.
Much better


Wow...........go Jags!!!!!!

I think this is funny because South Alabama owns the MWC.

I know, there's some pure comedy over on the MWC Board. Greatest hits

"No one in this conference should schedule USA ever again in any sport"

"Guess who is in the Arizona Bowl"

etc.

That being said, this is a TERRIBLE matchup for USA.

Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

You know, I will be pulling for the Jaguars.

Oh its doable. But we will need to figure out how to stop the option first. Which we never have. Someone, in jest, suggested we hire Ga Southern to practice against us.

But by this point, we have enough of experience with it that we should be able to figure out how to stop the end runs. We appear to be faster than they are too. So there's a chance.

But we're underdogs in this one for a reason.
