#6 Sam Houston @ #2 North Dakota St; Friday Night Lights

He demands a firm hand shake and worships Corey Hart.

In his defense, it was during the day and outside.

Does Torson have any of these? Hell, they can't even make the playoffs in a 9 win season.

So far I'm really enjoying watching the magnificent Sam Houston State defense.

[JohnStOnge]

Magnificent Sam Houston State defense strikes again!

Instead of a curtain of steel, it's a curtain of beads.

[JohnStOnge]

North Dakota State is averaging over 14 yards per carry as of the last TD run.

[JohnStOnge]

Ok I guess i can stop. BTW the DIII championship game is pretty good.

[Mvemjsunpx]

I think Keeler would choose that over what's happening right now.

41-3 Bison, late-2Q

Savannah State would be giving them a better game.

[dal4018]

Will not matter the Bison are going to smoke them anyway unless the Wildcats come up with a great game plan for a upset!!!!

Bearkats.

Okay different name same results THE Bison are stomping them 41-3!!!!!!!

Sort of. Savannah would at least look like they're trying.

Neither UCA or Soft Houston should have been seeded. No team every should be seeded again from that cupcake conference the Softland Conference short of going 11-0. And even then that only would maybe justify a #7 or #8 seed..

BREAKING: North Dakota State punts

You have to take it year to year. If a SLC or OVC plays a descent OOC and dominates in conference and the conference has a few decent wins than they deserve a seed. Neither fit that bill this year and JSU, SHSU, and UCA should have been 6,7, and 8 with power conference 2's and 3's in the 2nd round and 1/4's. Regionalization and not paying attention to SOS screws this up so instead you get the SLC with 3 bids, 2 seeds, and 4 home games against the Valley #5 and CAA #4 and they still lose or barely win.

I can't tell which bed crapping was worse, JSU being one and done, UCA losing to UNH, or the dismantling that occurred tonight.

I'm a Southland fan but it's a disgrace to that conference that Sam Houston State does as well as it does in it. It is what it is. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sam Houston State would be a middle of the pack team at best in the Missouri Valley. I doubt that they'd have won enough games to make the playoffs if they'd played in that league.

[JohnStOnge]

And no it wasn't because Sam Houston State was playing on the road. North Dakota State would've blown them out in Huntsville, TX. North Dakota State would've blown them out if they were playing on the moon. North Dakota State would've blown them out anywhere.

[Mvemjsunpx]

NDSU wins 55-13, so it's clear Sam Houston has gained a lot of ground since their last two playoff losses.

[JohnStOnge]

North Dakota State averaged 9.8 per carry in the running game. Honestly I don't know if I've ever seen something like that before. I mean, I'm sure there must've been games in which one team averaged that much or more yards per carry running the football. But I've never personally noted it.

I've seen it, but only in complete (usually interdivision) mismatches.

[BDKJMU]

If I were Keeler I would fire the entire defensive staff on the spot. Tell them to find their own way back to Huntsville.

Well, there’s no way in hell you should ever, ever have 2 Softland teams seeded, until one of their 2nd place teams beats a seeded on the road...It would be like seeding 2 OVC, or 2 Patriot, or 2 Big South, or even 2 NEC teams..

It should have been something like this:
1.JMU
2. NDSU
3. SDSU
4. SUU
5. Weber St
6. WIU
7. Wofford
8. SBU

1st 4 out:
-UCA
-SHSU
-Kennesaw
-JSU

[dal4018]

Big question is is Davion Davis playing? He got hurt 1st half vs Kennesaw & didn't return..

National Rankings
#1 receiving TDs (17)
#2 Total TDs (21)
#9 receiving yards (1147)

He has NFL written all over him.
