Re: Fact from Saturday's SU game
I'm not content with the loss but saw some things S.U. can build on. ULL was just better and have a lot of talent. You can't negate the fact that ULL is #41 in the AP and Coaches Poll. I think what most can surmise from the game is Southern has cleaned up the penalty issues, team speed looked much better than last year at the same time, the defense harrassed Broadway on severall occassions, team depth is better at running back, the OL looks decent, this team is in good shape physically and overall team tackling was better. I can tell you this, that is VERY bad news for the rest of this conference. My guess is people will catch on and start shutting up after week 3 and 4.
One thing I've learned is to not read too much into season opening games against upper level competition. But that works both ways. Some of u SU guys seem awfully content with a 45-6 loss. I know ULL is supposed to be decent but you didn't play Florida state. As for the "missing 7 starters" excuse, that's not something I would highlight. Just admit u had a bad game and pray that Austin kid is for real and not just someone who put up some decent stats in a meaningless game.
