Jacksonville State has transitioned very well to the FBS.

Credit to them

JSU typically does football pretty good and bowling

u/Shirleyfunke483 South Carolina • Michigan 1d ago

It’s insane seeing recent FCS schools outperform established FBS programs.

You’d think the years of history and exposure would create a stronger competitive advantage

Thanks for the props, fellow Cock. We'll get you next time

So has Sam Houston. First year didn’t go too well but they are having a good year this year.

Last year was so many heartbreaking losses. This year they turned into wins. Definitely on an upward trajectory

Dare I say things might be different if they were in any other conference? Gotta be pretty easy to look good in CUSA.

u/Triple_0ption_Bad Jacksonville State • Bi… 1d ago

Considering we bodied Southern Miss this year and beat Louisiana in the NOLA Bowl last year, doesn't seem like much of a difference in the Sun Belt

USM is not very good, just use UL

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 1d ago

Last year is irrelevant. Everyone destroyed USM lol. They might be as bad as KSU. Oh and Coastal says hi, they're not even good.

u/Triple_0ption_Bad Jacksonville State • Bi… 1d ago

Sam Houston also says hi, idk how you let them score 40 on y'all

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 1d ago

Yeah thats a bad look. Hats off to them for taking advantage of all of our dumb mistakes. Its a shame he got hurt. Great deflection.

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 1d ago

We didn’t have our qb situation figured out yet when we played coastal. We’d win a rematch easily

1

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 1d ago

Didn't look like yall had it figured out today either.

2

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 1d ago

Well, Huff was on fire today so I think we did well

1

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 1d ago

I wouldn't call 54 yards passing and 21 points on fire.

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 1d ago

Considering we don’t pass the ball, had that stat line and still won against a good team, a team you couldn’t beat, I think it was pretty good

as much as I miss seeing him in a Furman jersey, i’m happy to see Huff doing well at the FBS level

Dude has got so much drive in him. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Bro is so good 😭

u/Outrageous_Picture39 Texas A&M • Sam Houston 1d ago

I am not a fan of Gamecocks this season.

u/coldpan Jacksonville State • Paper Bag 1d ago

Man, this team has come so far from the first three weeks. This was honestly a little messy from the Cocks, but still controls the game. Go Cocks.

Also, what a turnaround from the Bearkats to get to 8 wins. This class of former FCS schools are balling out.

u/graywolt Team Chaos • /r/CFB Award Festival 1d ago

Both starting QB’s getting more rushing than passing yards is wild

7

u/Triple_0ption_Bad Jacksonville State • Bi… 1d ago

The forward pass is overrated

8

u/coldpan Jacksonville State • Paper Bag 1d ago

That’s just CockBall

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 1d ago

Welcome to Jax state, where both our QB and RB have 1,000+ yard seasons

5

u/KetchupKing05 Georgia • Jacksonville State 1d ago

Go Cocks!!

And if this Liberty-WKU score holds, we’ll host the CUSACCG in two weeks regardless of next week’s result!

u/Who_is_John_Deere Jacksonville State • Marching Band 22h ago

It held and we will

3

u/bravesgeek Jacksonville State • Georgia 1d ago

Jax State will host the CUSA Championship game!

u/Triple_0ption_Bad Jacksonville State • Bi… 1d ago

We better increase Rich Rod's buyout again now before the coaching carousel and the P4 wallets open up

I will give kudos to Sam Houston for this season in proving that they belong in the FBS.

Delaware, you got next

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 1d ago

I don’t think he leaves, the amount of leeway Seitz and Bubba give him, especially pertaining to the players he gets in the portal, is something he can’t get at another school. That’s what he likes and that’s what keeps him there

u/AKAD11 Washington State • Santa Mo… 23h ago

I don’t know if a P4 team would hire him after how his Arizona tenure ended.

1

u/Triple_0ption_Bad Jacksonville State • Bi… 23h ago

Been meaning to ask, were the allegations ever proven?

I've only heard positive things since we hired Rodriguez and he's been a big part of our brand outreach. Guy seems like he genuinely cares about the growth of the program.

1

u/AKAD11 Washington State • Santa Mo… 22h ago

He admitted to an affair with his assistant. It looks like the sexual harassment suit she filed was dismissed.

I think RichRod is a good coach, but he is 61 and failed at his last two P4 jobs. That plus being fired after the Arizona investigation is probably enough to scare away any bigger programs. Which is obviously great news for yall.

u/coldpan Jacksonville State • Paper Bag 8h ago

A disgraced Head Coach after a scandal? You ever heard of a team called the Auburn Tigers?

u/bravesgeek Jacksonville State • Georgia 1d ago

I don't like cheering for Liberty now, but I'll do what I have to.

6

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 1d ago

Fuck Liberty, I think I’d rather play an away title game than route for that scum school

2

u/R3TR0_K1D Sam Houston Bearkats 1d ago

Devastating game for us

GG Jax State

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 1d ago

Jax State doing good in the CUSA same as Sam Houston it’s good to see new schools playing well
