Valpo is averaging 4+ yards per carry. 

Why does that make me smile?

Not Big Sky, but old foe Stony Brook up 10-7 on #19 South Florida in Tampa at the half. Charlie Strong just loves the hot seat.

He should've stayed at Louisville. He had a good thing going.

Stony has always had a hell of a D.  Offense is a mess.

Hard to read much into the PSU/Oregon St game, there's all likelihood that Oregon St is plain awful this year and likely will be the doormat of the PAC. Week one they got thumped by Colorado St.

Eastern Wash. looks awful down 56-10 to Texas Tech.  Their defense is brutal and their offense is no better.

Good Lord,  Montana.

Yeah you guys would have beaten Oregon State... and will beat Portland State...  

So would you have rather switched opponents with PSU and had the win or was it better to sharpen your claws on a real opponent?

[Feff]

From a recruiting and media standpoint, I'd rather have the FBS win against a lesser team. Gameplay wise, I'd rather play the stronger opponent.

Have to go with the real opponent.  

Playing the real opponent gives you the exposure( especially around nd, mn),  great for recruiting and if you have a top 10 team(fcs) it's nice to see how you can compete.   Also the fans get to experience a real stadium and real tailgating.  Negatives would be , it's almost a guaranteed loss and the risk of injury to a "stud " player in a likely loss.   Plain and simple ....if you want to be the best ....play the best.
