2R - Nicholls @ (3) EWU

It's a battle of red teams on the red turf! Woooo! Anyway, this EWU team is a little different than the gunslinging squads of past playoffs because their running game and its gaudy 7.1 yards-per-carry is their biggest strength. Nicholls has a strong running game themselves, as well as really good run D, so they've got a shot at an upset. I doubt they'll get it, though, because Eastern's at home and their now starting QB Eric Barriere has shown he can complete some passes when needed.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:


      • Quarterbacks -- (push)

        Running Backs - EWU

        Receivers/TEs - EWU

        Offensive Line - EWU


        Defensive Line - Nicholls St.

        Linebackers --- Nicholls St.

        Secondary ---- EWU


        Kicking ------ EWU*

        Punting ------ EWU

        Return Teams - EWU

        Kickoffs ------ EWU





        • Nicholls St. 20-34 EWU

* - Assuming Alcobendas plays; he's listed as questionable.

This thread has become as Montana quiet as WSG will be for the next 9 months.

:lol: at Weetag.

Also, what the fuck is Nicholls? Is that a four-year school?

I mean, we have Kalm and Gil Dobie trying to tell me that FCS is better than ever, and there are schools called Nicholls and Lamar in the playoffs. Kind of blows up their arguments pretty quickly, no? :rofl:

It's clearly down, by every measure, except for NDSU of course.

School by school discussions are meaningless. My thread title was asking if FCS is really this bad. Everything I see with my eyes and every stat I read points to yes. 2018 is a historically bad year for FCS, beside NDSU.

Don't get butthurt. I am not saying NDSU is not a worthy champion. What they've done is amazing.

You are saying SDSU, EWU and Weber St aren't as good as other teams. SDSU is every bit as good as the 2012 GSU team we beat in the Semi's. As I said in another thread, the SoGon hasn't had a team in the finals since App St in 2007. Delaware played Colgate in the 2003 championship game. This years Colgate is very underrated.

Because your strongest argument has very little to do with tangible metrics and much to do with opinion.
