depending on which rankings you look at, they are slightly worse or slightly less worse than us...either way, pretty close to us

They’ve had a 2 possession win against Albany & an 8 possession blowout loss @ Wisconsin

Memphis up 30-0 on South Alabama early in the 3rd. USA’s starting RB got knocked out of the game with what looked like a concussion, but should be back for our game.
USA lost an offensive lineman who got rolled up on, guessing he will be out for our game.

Memphis just dominating both lines of scrimmage.

42-6 Memphis.

Watching the Troy v USM game. Southern Miss almost got screwed by the refs on the second play of the game. Their RB got stuffed for a loss, carries back 3 yards, and had the ball stripped out while he was laying on the ground. Troy ran the “fumble” in for a TD and almost got the xp off before the replay booth whistled play dead for a replay. USM got the ball back and drove it down the field for a TD. 7-0 the lesser of two evils on top.

Really hope we can break out our running game against USA

USM up 17-14 at the half. Abraham is 18-19 for 234 yards in the first half.

Pulling for SoMiss in this one

TROY WINS 47-42.
The CUSA West will definitely include USM with the UAB matchup in Hattiesburg being pivotal. As we all figured, that last 4 stretch that includes at USM, LaTech at home on Senior Day, and at North Texas to end the season will be HUGE. And the consider the Tennessee game before the USM game and a possible trap game vs UTEP between the USM and LaTech games. THE END OF THE SEASON WILL BE INTENSE.

Yep! Mistyped...

Based on CUSA OOC games we have no real idea how this season will shake out. Any team can beat any other team. Could be a very competitive season.
