Re: LSU-SU game not prtactical
I saw part of that McNeese-Texas A&M game. I think that it was in 2000 or 2001. McNeese was up 24-10 at the half. (I think.) And Texas A&M scored the rest of the points in the game to win 38-24.
What I remember from that season are these. That A&M team was not as good as their conference championship teams from the Big 12 and SWC during the '90s. (I think that they finished 7-5 that year.) But I do not think that the McNeese had one of their best teams either.
When Georgia Southern played at Georgia, their leading rusher, Adrian Peterson, had over 150 yards. Georgia won 29-7.
GSUperTiger said:I bet to differ. It is the traditionless factor. Look at what was written about Grambling (apples to apples scenario).

SU is just not respected as other programs (and its poor recruiting is becoming more apparent). What else would warrant such ridiculous statements of SU players being pummeled physically by LSU? Appalachian State played LSU better (lost 24-0) than D-IA North Texas (lost 56-3), Miss State (40-7), and Miami (40-3) last year. College football teams are so inconsistent every team is vulnerable. McNeese was up on Texas A&M by 14 at the half a few years ago (lost by 10 from my recollection). Furman lost a heartbreaker to BCS Fiesta Bowl runner-up Pitt (41-38) in 2004. Furman also played Clemson close (lost by 11 a few years ago). Georgia Southern racked up 300yds on Georgia a few yards (had a respectable loss if there is such a thing).
There is imparity in talent between D-IAA and D-IA, but the aforementioned shows that in certain cases the gap is not as wide.
