Will go with SLU. I remember 2 years ago SLU came in after a close win over Villanova, had similar offensive numbers and got blasted by the Griz. Not sure but will take the offense in this game

We didn't have anywhere close to the same numbers offensively, though we were pretty good on offense that year — just not as good as this year. But we were depleted by injury down the stretch defensively, especially in the secondary, and it showed in the playoffs. We're in a similar situation now, unfortunately, but do have more depth. We'll have to outscore people though — it is what it is.

Never in doubt LK2
interesting game with the SWAC team coming to Hammond
I hope they bring a lot of their fans but most of them probably had other plans for next weekend
I think you might hang 70 on em but they might score 45 themselves

I will say this: They are talented on defense and have an outstanding pass rusher in Isaiah Land. I suspect we'll play a lot better on defense this week than last, but we have injuries and depth will be tested.
We need them to bring as many folks as possible to cover our bid, which was outrageous.

FAMU is third in the FCS in defensive pass efficiency and SLU is 2nd in the FCS in team passing efficiency. Something will have to give in this matchup.

FAMU will have a nice contingency in Hammond on Saturday. You'll get FAMU fans along with other HBCU fans to make that game.

Nice! We welcome all visitors to our humble, yet historic, Strawberry Stadium. We've even had Jackrabbits show up on a whim.

Somebody's band will be playing every few plays, with our offense vs their style of defense. I can fit our band in my back pocket.

Surprised this one isn't in Tallahassee. Did FAMU not bid? Their fan support is way bigger than SELU's.

not sure, but LK2 indicated that the SLA bid was huge

Ah, OK. I think this game would be real interesting in Tallahassee, but SELU's a clear favorite in Hammond. The Rattler defense was a bit more dominant at home than on the road.

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
i'm very interested to see the offense of SLU vs the FAMU defense

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
SLU opens as 14 point favorites on 5dimes. O/U of 65.5.

Extremely huge. Zero chance we were playing first round on the road, against anybody — unless the NCAA just doesn't want the money.

No. 1 ranked offense vs the No. 1 ranked defense — something has to give.

I am debating this one or the Bayou Classic. Probably end up at home. Lol

Come to Hammond, we'll take care of you.

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
At least the NCAA didn't send a team located 1000+ miles away to play Southeastern Louisiana in the first round. Yes, I'm still salty about 2019 (and some of the ridiculous officiating in that game).

It's a shame the game times aren't staggered such that you could attend both games.

You guys should have put in a bid.

Too bad the Classic can’t be incorporated into a playoff game somehow, and if that can’t work get an Ivy champ down to Louisiana to follow up the Classic

I will never forget a few years back my wife and I and some friends decided to drive to New Orleans over the Thanksgiving holiday. To this day I have never seen so much team spirit all over vehicles heading to a game. It was incredible.

Same here. I live in the Houston area and I remember one Saturday a few years ago when I was driving to Lake Charles for a McNeese football game, and as I headed east on I-10, I encountered hundreds of vehicles heading west and so many of them had flags/pennants flying. It was incredible! I finally figured out that they were Southern Jaguar fans heading to a game at TSU or Prairie View. I will never forget that show of school spirit.

Good luck Lions. CCSU fans are rooting for SLU to make some noise in the playoffs 👍

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
I watched the Florida classic replay last night
Bethune vs Florida A&M In Orlando
The crowd and bands were special, and I’m not even talking about the half time show
by the way, Sam Herder of Hero sports picked the Rattlers in this game

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
On paper it looks like SELA should win but would not be surprised one bit if FA&M gets this one.

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
As a KSU fan, this game will be interesting to follow given the ASUN rumors. From afar, it looks like SELA has a high powered offense but could improve on defense. I think KSU/SELA could be a fun rivalry in the future.

Oh the horrors of traveling. UNI is traveling 1500 miles this weekend and UC Davis is going 1700. I doubt either would prefer to sit at home on the couch.

He’s not salty he had to travel, he’s salty they didn’t get Monmouth, Holy Cross, Albany, or Central Connecticut in the 1st and had to play a real team instead.

In the 2nd yes. In the 1st round those 4 teams played amongst themselves, and Villanova was the odd man out so they got put on a plane. I’d probably have a gripe over that too.
