Hell, if CSU could schedule an Alabama do you know what that game could do for a school like LU. Yea we take the L, but we could also score upwards of 17 - 21 pts, and use that for more exposure. imo

We could not score 17-21 against Alabama. https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/make-a-cha ... ng-alcohol

says whom, every game is matchups and there is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING that says that they can't other than the fact that a game is not scheduled. I'm def not going to say we can't score but you make it sound like we would be blanked. Even on our worst we could move the ball still and make a few plays, and there is again nothing that says Petey or DJ wouldn't break a tackle and score or JL hit a cpl of fg's, but to say we just couldn't is absurd, at least to me.

Yes, there is something. Between Monmouth, Gardner Webb, SIU and Presby...we scored 21 once and lost the other three games. We wouldn't magically score 17 against Alabama. That isn't an absurd statement. Assuming that Peterson, DJ, Woodrum or Lunsford would amount to anything against arguably the best team in college football is absurd.

Part brilliance, part lunacy. I'll let you figure out which part is which. lol

Or we can prove that we're a real program capable of not just making playoffs, but making a run in playoffs, by beating Montana. Maybe it's early but I feel like next week could be a game-changer for this team.[/quote]

These were the words you spoke after WVU, no im not saying we win, but I do think that level of completion seems to bring out peoples better play. Woody threw for 280 Petey had 4-60 and didn't play 2nd half JL missed a cpl but made a 49. So to say that the group you named wouldn't amount to anything is not absurd its down right plausible. Do they have a real bad tendency to play down to the completion YES, without a doubt but they can also rise up and play well in big games too.

LOL, all I was saying is if other teams can schedule a real P5 power why couldn't LU. Hey, watch it, at first I started to say 24 pts. When LU spreads the ball around they are very good, but when it becomes a one man show, well you see what happens.

[SuperJon]

We could schedule the top P5s but it'd be stupid to.

anymore stupid than the ones scheduled now, hell why don't he try and schedule that dumpster fire that is/was is once former employer Kansas. they are still no better than they were when he left, and in all honesty are no better than WVU

[SuperJon]

You don't get it. Here is the FBS strategy:

• G5 schools we can compete with and beat (ODU, App, Georgia State, Toledo, Ball State, Kent State, SMU)
• Lower level P5 schools we can compete with and potentially beat (Wake, NCSU, etc)
• Local P5 powers that will beat us but are great exposure locally (WVU, VT)

The only game that doesn't fall into those categories is the Baylor game but my guess is that's because Gill wants to get into Texas.

[forbidden]

Trust me I understand the logic win one lose one potentially, but your saying we only really want the "local" exposure, then why not schedule UVA right at the bottom of the mountain. If the idea is to be some national brand to know about LU then go out and get that game. What are you gaining "exposure" wise from playing a P5 local. Just the fact that you are able to get them on the schedule. Well since $$$ doesn't seem to be the problem then go get all the "exposure". Just like the Baylor game. We have a few players from Nebraska on roster so we all KNOW we can use some Nebraska type OL, why not there either. Again, just my opinion.

Dude, that was after WVU before the mess we made against SIU, Gardner Webb or Monmouth. Secondly, get your head out of the gutter. Even if we were a good FCS program, not scoring against Alabama doesn't have anything to do with us. It has everything to do with Alabama. Leonard Fournette, arguably the best player in college football, ran for an entire 31 yards against Alabama and LSU scored a whole 16 points. We don't have a player half as good as Fournette on our roster...not one. If LSU couldn't get to 17, we wouldn't either. I can't believe that any LU fan actually thinks this team could score 17 against Alabama.

Are we talking about the same Alabama team that let Ole Miss score 43 points or the team that Tennessee had against the ropes for most of game?

[BJWilliams]

I think its the same Alabama that has allowed one FCS team within 5 TDs in the last...well...ever I think, and that team is now an FBS team

[jack_sparrow81]

I chortle audibly.. 5 turnovers will do that.

And are you under the impression that we would do significantly better against Ole Miss or Tennessee than Alabama? All three would smash us without much effort.

We would probably score some points bc that's usually how things go when games aren't competitive. We aren't talking about WVU or NC State here...

They would definitely crush us. I don't wanna get side tracked here, but I had to say something with everyone handing the trophy over after they beat a mediocre LSU team.

[VAGolf]

No. The Alabama team that has been playing for the past month is not the same Alabama team that started the season. Typically, the team that you get in week 8 of the season isn't the same team that you have in week 3 or 4 of the season. That's why a team like Ohio State can lose to Tech and then tear through everyone else.

We could schedule the top P5s but it'd be stupid to.

"But there's more on the line for Charleston Southern than just the final score. Chadwell said he'll be calling all his recruits, telling them to watch SportsCenter on Saturday.

This means exposure a FCS school doesn't get at any point in the fall.

"You can come to Charleston Southern and still have goals and dreams," Chadwell said. "You might not be good enough to play at Alabama, but can, at least once a year or maybe for us twice a year, we're playing against big schools and you can be on TV.""

It looks like we have one more teak to the schedule with the Monmouth & Kennesaw State dates flip-flopping. I am guessing this is as a result of shuffling based on Coastal dropping from league schedule.

At last check, we still had one more open date to fill on our schedule that wil likely be a home game.
