Thursday August 30th Score Thread

[AZGrizFan]

Just got back from dinner. Utah now up on Northern Colorado 41-0 about 7 mins left in the game.

The defense stopped looking impressive.

[CatMom]

McNeese - 24
MTSU - 6
12:57 left in game

GTFO.

MTSU scores with 6:58left - gets 2pt conv on a scramble desperation anybody could have had it pass

McNeese 28
MTSU 14

MTSU going for the on-side kick, didn't get it and used an illegal formation so McNesse gets the ball on the 46 and now running the ball downfield to the 19.

Bears D let up about 3 mins left in the first half and the Utah O woke up. It was actually pretty entertaining up until then. Now it needs to just be over.

We'll see how the new rules take affect. Players can call a fair catch on the one bouncers now.

[SDHornet]

Hornets have a solid opening drive but the drive stalls inside the 20...and the FG is good. 28-13 NMSU early 3rd QTR. Hornet D needs to step it up if we want to crawl back in this one.

[uofmman1122]

MSU scores again.

3 TDs for McGhee.

Finally hits the XP.

19-3
MSU

Stalled @ the 16 but McNeese gets the FG

BUT - MTSU gets an 88 yd KOR and a TD pass on the next play (under review but it looked good to me)

27-21 5:01 left

[SDHornet]

TD SAC!!! PAT blocked, NMSU got a good push inside. 28-19 NMSU mid 3rd.

[T-Dog]

Georgia State could legit go 0-11 this year. Their other non-conference games are at Tennessee and vs UTSA and then the CAA schedule starts.

[BDKJMU]

CAA Finals:

Kent State 41, TU 21
UNH 38, HC 17
SC ST 33, GST 6
UD 41, West Chester 21

McNeese 27
MTSU 21
FINAL!

No QB.

They are bad.

[SDHornet]

McNeese 27
MTSU 21
FINAL!

28-19 NMSU after 3. Hornets had a lot of mo then fumbled. Let's see if the D can bail us out.

[biobengal]

Halftime in Moscow: Eagles up 10-3.

Georgia State could legit go 0-11 this year. Their other non-conference games are at Tennessee and vs UTSA and then the CAA schedule starts.

So in other words they will fit right in with the Sun Belt?

[JohnStOnge]

McNeese 27
MTSU 21
FINAL!

McNeese physically dominated. I think the stats will show that. The game was close because McNeese gave up some big special teams plays and missed on wide open pass plays either because the quarterback was off or because the receivers dropped the ball. Should've been a bigger point spread. But it's a win over a FBS which will help if it comes tine for at large bid selections so I'll take it.

[SDHornet]

35-19 NMSU. NMSU capitalized on the fumble. So much for our rally.

[JohnStOnge]

Yeah I looked up the stats. Here we go (edited after Yahoo Sports corrected/finalized them):

First downs: McNeese 24, Middle Tennessee State 20
Total yards: McNeese 450, Middle Tennessee State 343
Rushing yards: McNeese 298,Middle Tennessee State 103

Plus McNeese was +2 (0 turnovers vs. 2 for Middle Tennessee) in the giveaway/takeaway stat.

The big concern for McNeese fans is that they could control the game like that, particularly with respect to running the ball and stopping the run, and have it still in doubt late in the fourth quarter even though they were also +2 in turnover margin.

This is not a good start for teh Sun Belt. Apparently commision Karl Benson was at the Georgia Dome tonight. Attendance for the 65,000-seat Dome was appx 12,000 with 3,000 of those being SCSU fans.

[JohnStOnge]

So in other words they will fit right in with the Sun Belt?

Yep. All you need to know about the Sun Belt is that the Southland had a winning head to head record against it and the edge got extended tonight by McNeese in a game, as I said, that ended in a final score that comes nowhere close to indicating how whipped up on the Sun Belt team was. What on EARTH would be happening to the Sun Belt if it was regularly playing games against the CAA? I shudder to think.

[JALMOND]

McNeese 27
MTSU 21
FINAL!

Great job, McNeese!!! Great job, FCS!!!

Final

UND 66
SD School of Mines 0

UND QB Braden Hanson left game with severly hurt ankle (possible broken) he was on the sideline in a boot and on crutches. I haven't heard the official word on the injury. I hope its nothing more than a sprain.

[JALMOND]

Score from Phoenix, being that Jon isn't going to post it...

Arizona State 14
Northern Arizona 0

6:10 left 1st

Contrary to Northern Colorado, I am not impressed with NAU D in this game. Arizona State can do pretty much whatever they want to do.

I would think he didn't get hurt late in the game. You may need him next week.

[SDHornet]

49-19 NMSU over Sac final. Late turnovers that gifted NMSU great field position tarnished what otherwise was a respectable 2nd half showing. Plenty to take from this game. Safron showed some glimpses of improvement and the defense played well against the run but struggled against the pass. We'll see how this goes.
