Miners kick off season with a 30-3 win over archival NM State and, by default, sweep the Week O conference awards!

If overall team talent in CUSA has decreased from last year, as they state, we are in for a crappy year.
League was not exactly overflowing with talent last year.This is a very pessimistic article. :frowning_face:

Theyā€™re wearing illegal uniforms tonight though. It seems like the ESPN announcers are less apoplectic than they have been when teams have broken this sacred rule in the past.

Blazers roll over in state FCS foe Jacksonville State 31-0 in a neutral site game played in Montgomery.

Watched most of that game. Apparently JSU has a 4 star NFL prospect Clemson transfer QB, and they beat FIU last year with him (the only FCS over FBS last year).

UABs defense gave them nothing at all. It could have been worse but Blazers made some typical getting the rust out mistakes.

UABā€™s quarterback looked terrific last night. His passes were on the money.

They looked like the defending champs for most of the game. Definitely the team to beat in CUSA.

If I heard right, they are playing UGA soon. That could be interesting. UGA usually just mauls G5 teams with their athleticism advantageā€¦ Remember them playing a good Marshall team a few seasons ago and their players were all 20+ lbs heavier AND faster. 6ā€™3 250 lb LBs that can run 4.5 40s. Looked like varsity versus JV. Would be nice if UAB could hang with them.

Donā€™t look now but La Tech is up 31-14 @ Miss St.

Down 14-0, theyve scored 31 unanswered. Mike Leach in disbelief.

Another cartel pelt?

La tech better not chokeā€¦ gave up 21 unanswered points. They need a Charlotte Reynolds type drive

That sucked.

UTSA up 14-0 @ Illinois, early.

Illini cannot defend UTSAs passing game.
