Copy/paste from what I posted to a friend's page: USD is 9-2 with only losses being to Big Sky playoff representative UC Davis (9-2) and very average Harvard (6-4). They were undefeated in league play, and of note, their league does not offer scholarships. So going 8-0 against non scholarship teams in their league. Check. Lost to another non-scholarship 6-4 team in Harvard. Check. Lost to scholarship team UC Davis. Check. Their only significant win against a team offering scholarships was against Division II Western New Mexico, 38-9. Western New Mexico went 0-10. NO GAME IS A GIVEN but USD could be a paper tiger.

Original to AGS: USD could very well march into Thibodaux and also kick some teeth in. Games are not played on paper but Nicholls is hot right now. USD isn't Houston Baptist or 2018 SELU (y'all will bounce back, Lions) but Nicholls isn't Western New Mexico. That 8-0 record in Pioneer is very impressive at any level, but on Saturday it won't mean a thing for four quarters.

I'm excited to see it. Hope some USD fans can make the trip and enjoy the area. The Houma/Thibodaux area will treat you well. Less than an hour from New Orleans so feel free to venture that way if you want but spend your money in Houma/Thibodaux :D .

Big deal. Nicholls is no huge home advantage. USD is a warm weather team also.

USD is not as good as the last 2 teams that made the playoffs but watching Nicholls this year, they are not world beaters and USD has a good chance of beating them.

Nicholls looks better in the stat column than I anticipated, especially compared to their conference foes.

I think they'll win this one, but it'll be a tougher game than some are implying. San Diego has more playoff wins than most of the FCS. Including Nicholls.

You're being pretty generous to San Diego's run defense with that statement I think. Nicholls has the 13th best rushing offense in the FCS and San Diego has the 22nd worst rushing defense (playing mostly against non-scholarship competition). I could see Nicholls easily running for 300+ yards in this one. It's going to be very tough to San Diego to keep up no matter how good their QB plays (he is very good).

Reign of Terrier
November 19th, 2018, 11:02 PM
Having watched some Davidson film, I can conclude that the reason they rack up ungodly rushing numbers is because Pioneer defenses don't have the same closing speed as the rest of the subdivision. The result: more long running plays. Gains that would go for 5-15 yards in another conference go to the house, regardless of where the ball is on the field.

This is relevant because San Diego is not immune. Davidson ran for like 700 yards on them. Nichols should win. They probably won't rack up as much yardage as Davidson, but they'll sustain longer drives and keep the ball away from San Diego's offense.

Nicholls is a good team that can run the ball well. That's a good formula for the playoffs and everyone should take notice.

Can’t diasgree with much of what has been said here. USD is at a disadvantage for sure. The environment won’t be an issue. 2nd round games in the Fargo dome the last couple years took care of that. Overall depth is the biggest issue. The last couple years they had a lot more experience on the lines than what they have this year. The offense will score. But can the defense rise up. Davidson and it’s triple option definitely provided much to worry about. Going back through the year, this is a team that led Davis after 3 quarters at Davis. There is talent there.
My optimism says we can take this. But I don’t thinknteama take USD lightly anymore and the eastward travel always presents a problem.

Well, sort of. It was 20-0 UC Davis at the half. SD took the lead briefly in the third, then the Ags put up 34 unanswered for a final score of 54-21. With that said, no question SD can put up points.

San Diego needs to jump on Nicholls early, make them play catch-up. I think this’ll be a shootout, I’ll take San Diego 45-42. Mostly because I want to see them beat another Scholarship team in the playoffs. Though I wouldn’t be surprised to see Nicholls roll through them.

I'm a critic of the Southland conference as much as anyone. I view them a step below the socon because I don't think they have the same depth and I think their top teams lack consistency in the playoffs.

But still, I think people are selling then way too short. Incarnate Word's losses are only to playoff teams and FBS teams. Glancing at the scoreboard, they have a stellar offense. Lamar has won 6 straight games.

I think we should stop looking at them as teams that definitely don't deserve to be in and thus will definitely lose. They're bubble teams. It happens every year. Instead, I think it's better to look at them like they're taking a test.

The reason why Davidson ran for so many yards is because Davidson also has a terrible defense. The result? 18 possessions for each team. Both scored so fast (Davidson with 9 possessions lasting less than 2:00) and played such poor defense that they couldn't help but rack up the yards.

Nicholls however has something resembling a defense (the pioneer doesn't have sufficient athletes with closing speed to stop big runs). This means that, yes, San Diego will get some yardage (as will Nicholls), but the drives for San Diego will last longer so long as they aren't three and outs.

So, I don't think Nicholls will rack up 300 yards by half time. But a 400 or even 500 yard rushing day is certainly possible

You really want ammo to unload on the MVFC? Have UNI drop the Lamar game, and then SDSU drop their likely matchup with Towson (both are fairly possible). That would cause such an Armageddon of posters from every conference unleashing their full angst on the perceived coattail riding of ndsu by other MVFC teams it might shut the board down xlolx

Not to drift too far, but with that game I could see any outcome from when Garrapollo made his ill fated trip to the plains all the way to the Indy St game this year. I have a hard time seeing the Jacks get blown out though. Both of their losses the games were real close games, the UNI game was a one score game until a pick 6 with under minute left in the game.

The only good teams SD played all year were Davis and Harvard, both away games. SD lost by 33 and 22 respectively. Neither has as good of a Defense as Nicholls. Although their offenses are undoubtedly better than Nicholls. But Nicholls has stepped up the last few games and put some serious points up. In any event, I am thinking 20 or more.

I suppose anything could happen on a given Saturday, but I don't think Nicholls will get caught looking ahead. They have an underdog mentality as it is and play with a chip on their shoulder due to having the smallest budget in the SLC (of the football schools) and limited success historically. They aren't taking anyone for granted and they have a great coaching staff. IMO, they are more solid than good but are really athletic, play physical defense, can run the football, and play really good at home. For those who have never been to Thibodaux, it can make for an uncomfortable trip if it's your first time, and they have great fans.

Nicholls seemed to have let off the gas when they had a big lead...they got a good drive going now...usd needs to stop them here if they want a chance

That should do it. San Diego put up a good fight but NSU's offense too much.

Forcade is a tough runner, but wish he would knock off the mouthiness and taunting against USD

Congrats to Nicholls. Way to rep the Southland. Keep playing hard. I get a feeling that the Southland, believe it or not, could become top-heavy in the next few years...

I don't know Chase Fourcade so I can't vouch for his character on a personal level, but everything I've read around the local media is he's a very positive good sport kind of person. I don't know what was going on for him to trash talk in that obvious manner, but home team bias, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that his opponent engaged and he responded. I could be wrong, but so could you. *shrug* There will always be outliers but this is probably one of the more respectable rosters we've had in a while.

Someone I know (who is NOT me) worked for NSU during the Stubbs era (when we went 1-10, 0-12, etc..) and clued me in on a LOT of stuff that you'd expect to hear getting brushed under a rug at a bigger school, but going on at Nicholls. Person had access to witness a lot of it and wasn't under confidentiality or gag orders so was free to tell me stuff that could have made the paper if Stubbs wasn't able to get to campus at all hours of the night to put out metaphorical fires. And what's sad I heard his recruiting issues always stemmed from wanting guys of the highest moral fiber, regardless of talent.

Person no longer works there, so this stuff COULD be going on now or Rebowe could have it under control. The only other person I know with an "in" (and verified some of other) hasn't spoken of "yeah this is our team but...." type things.

So yeah, Chase showing his a** wasn't the best example of Nicholls values (which all trash talk aside that got HAMMERED into your head during Freshman studies and extracurriculars when I was there). Hopefully regardless of outcome next week, any humble pie eaten is for talent vs talent and nothing more.
