Central Arkansas @ WKU 6:30 p.m. Bowling Green, KY TV:ESPN+

Alabama State @ UAB 7 p.m. Birmingham, AL TV:ESPN+

FIU @ Tulane 7 p.m. New Orleans, LA TV:ESPN3


FIU is behind 0-7 at Tulane in 1st

UAB is having fits with Alabama State 14-13

wku leads central arky 14-7 late in first half

charlotte leads gwu 14-7 midway 2nd quarter

 

[SpaceRaider]

FIU now trails 21-0. Not a good look. I thought FIU might have a shot at the CUSA conference championship. They look really bad

 

[SpaceRaider]

Charlotte leads gardner webb 35-14 at half

uab leads alabama state 17-13

wku leads central arky 21-14 early in 2nd half

 

[SpaceRaider]

 

[MTBig Blue]

Saw WKU and UCA are tied 28 all. I remember WKU lost to them back in Taggert's first or second year.

 

[SpaceRaider]

central arky leads at wku 35-28, 6:51 left

 

[SpaceRaider]

wku failed to convert a 4th and 8 and gives the ball over to uca with 3:45 to go

 

[MTBig Blue]

wku failed to convert a 4th and 8 and gives the ball over to uca with 3:45 to go

Wow.

 

[sWiley]

Steven Duncan is a terrible QB. He most certainly looks the part and has NFL-type measureables, however; I can probably more accurately than he can.

Sanford Jr had to learn the hard way with Duncan and it looks like Tyson Helton is repeating that mistake. They need to give the Shanley kid the keys and be done it.

 

[SpaceRaider]

wku going to lose it 35-28

meanwhile, tn state is smacking their lips

 

[sWiley]

Central Arkansas outscores WKU 21-0 in the 4th quarter to seal the deal.

UCA 35
WKU 28

Tulane absolutely destroying FIU as well.

 

[SpaceRaider]

alabama state has cut uab leasd to 24-19

 

[sWiley]

wku going to lose it 35-28

meanwhile, tn state is smacking their lips

TN State will be a force to be reckoned with. They are stocked full of transfers from major programs that are very talented. Don't be surprised if it's a very close game or we just flat out lose.

 

[crclarke55]

Man, as bad as I want to clown WKU...... TSU is looming.......

 

[SpaceRaider]

Man, as bad as I want to clown WKU...... TSU is looming.......

yep, hate to keep my schadenfreude down

 

[SpaceRaider]

uab turns over ball deep in asu territory. ASU has ball and trail by 5

 

[MTBig Blue]

Looks like a heckuva opening night for CUSA. Absolutely terrible.

 

[dukewayne]

Better keep the glee and delight of WKU losing in check with game vs TSU looming next week. Since that game was announced, I have little confidence in the coach stock team to take care of business at home.

Was this an idea to try to help boost attendance since TSU will likely bring a few fans? The downside, lose the game and destroy home attendance for the rest of the season.

 

[SpaceRaider]

quite frankly, if there was to be one cusa team lose to a fcs/1aa team tonight, I would rather have had it be uab...

 

[mtfblue]

quite frankly, if there was to be one cusa team lose to a fcs/1aa team tonight, I would rather have had it be uab...

Kick off return was the difference in the game for UAB. I didn't think Bama St would keep it that close, so that's how bad UAB is after graduating a ton of players.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

quite frankly, if there was to be one cusa team lose to a fcs/1aa team tonight, I would rather have had it be uab...

And they lost to a bad fcs team...

 

[RandallThomason]

Saw UAB had about 40,000 in attendance

 

[RowdyAlumni]

I'm sorry but I want WKU to lose every game they ever play. I was quite amused to watch the end of the game last night.

 

[SpaceRaider]

FRIDAY 8.30.19

Rice @ Army 5 p.m. West Point, NY TV:CBS SN

Rice and Army are tied up 7-7 in 2nd quarter

 

[MTBig Blue]

Army could go undefeated this year.

 

[sWiley]

Walt Bell and Umass @ Rutgers

21-21 in the 2nd quarter. Umass was up 21-7 but gave back 2 unanswered TD's.

 

[sWiley]

41 unanswered points from Rutgers...........yikes

48-21 late in the 4th Q

 

[SpaceRaider]

Army who I thought was pretty good going in, struggled with Rice. Rice appears to be much improved and I think most of us had Rice as a win for the Raiders. The owls may not be that easy for the Raiders.

 

[MTFNBY5]

Looks like Kiffin's plan to parlay the FAU job into a quick return to a P5 job isn't working out.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Looks like Kiffin's plan to parlay the FAU job into a quick return to a P5 job isn't working out.

yep, down 28-0 with still six minutes left in 1st quarter...

like watching a preview of tonight's game
