First story of the week on USA game
- Thread starter Predestined
- Start date
Why do teams like USA keep playing the "big" boys ... meaning us and NC State? Are they doing like Troy did a few years ago, playing the tough teams to try to break into the big leagues, so to speak? Seems like they're just asking for a trouncing and that must be demoralizing to their players and fans after a while.
How else do you expect to compete in D1 in Alabama? Take the money and sell the fact that "hey, we're not that good... But in week 3 you get to play against a 1st round db at NCSU and in week 4 you get to face another one and a team that is currently top 25. You could go to DSU and win a national title, or you can come here and play against future NFLers"... Not dumb at all.
They will probably have a secret weapon in the former Alcorn State QB who played against State a year or so ago...he was actually impressive in that game.
Joey Jones is their head corch. I remember him being a scrappy little receiver for Alabama in the late '70's and early '80's.
Easy. Bammer isn't always gonna be on top (remember the Dubose-Shula years?), plus every once in a while a 1-* or 2-* develops into an all-American.
