The Jags saw many firsts on Saturday. Their first Division I-AA (FCS) opponent and their first deficit were cheif among them. However, the one first that Coach Jones and the Jaguar faithful were most proud and grateful to see what the teams reaction was going to be to those two firsts. I will definitely be among the first to say, I was pleased.

Last seasons finale saw the closest any team had come to leading the Jaguars and they fell about two or three yards short. The Jags then responded to them with a 98 yard drive to open up the scoring against Huntingdon. On Saturday, Coach Charlie Stubbs and the Nicholls State Colonels succeded in being the first team to lead the Jags.


The Jags received the ball to begin the game, but only gained 19 yards in four plays before being forced to punt. Nicholls State started their possession on their own 21 yard line. After getting down to the Jaguar 33 yard line, Nicholls State faced a fourth and one situation. The Colonels would score on a 33 yard run by Jesse Turner on that fourth down play, to put the Jags in their first deficit of the football programs’ short history. The drive covered 79 yard over five plays and 2:26 off of the game clock.

Worst helmets ever.

What's the deal with South Alabama?

Are they definitely going FBS? Sun Belt I suspect right?

Are they just planning on being Indy until they get an offer?

IIRC they are I-A from the getgo... they have to, otherwise they'd be subject to the move-up moratorium. Because they are new to football, they can go straight to I-A.

They got the program rolling before the moratorium began and have a waiver from it.

I kinda like them, much better than those other Jags that are a couple hours west on I-10

They don't need one. They are not a move-up.
