I am hoping we just take care of business the last two games, which won't be easy, and hope that 8-4, 8-2 in FCS with two ranked wins might get us in.

That would be one helluva resume. Hard to imagine EKU not getting in if that plays out. Both ranked wins were once Top 10 teams.

We got outgained by 190. Had two hidden yardage play with a 54 yard put return and a 73 yard kickoff return for a TD. Enough offense in the 4th to get the winning TD.

EKU is playing well lately, just like AP.

Unfortunately, ACU's consistency continues to be is sorry, soft, defense and stupid penalties. Luckily, we got key stops tonight at the right times and got our ground game going. Otherwise, we still are not playing like conference champions. We limp out another win, but doesn't make anyone feel comfortable for a needed win against Tarleton next weekend. As much as the Texans complain, they are playing better ball than us. We have the talent, but can't play a complete game for the life of us most of the time. Come hell or high water, it will be a battle in the Ville...

UCA was toast when they lost to Yutalltek. Tarleton HAS to beat UCA now to have a chance regardless of the outcome this week in the battle of I-20 +20ish via Morgan Mill. The much hated Wildcats of much hated ACU ( It is ACU hate week sorry guys) MUST beat SFA the following week as well to have a chance regardless of the outcome this week. SFA lost to AM Commerce...I mean ETAM! I guess their name change is already providing dividends!!!!

Their new unis already look better... I like our chances against SFA better, but even SFA makes me uncomfortable. I am very fearful of a letdown game after Tarleton and it being OOC.

UCA had several important injuries in the game with EKU. Sounded like both QB1 and QB2 left the game with shoulder injuries. Powell played but potentially tweaked a hammy again. Hale carried the load for them.
