       To be honest I think SHSU is overrated. They haven't really
       beaten anyone.

       I think they are good- based alone on the fact that no one has
       beaten them, they are #1, etc.
       SHSU beat New Mexico (FBS), and crushed Central Ark (top 25
       FCS).  And crushed everyone else.  SB lost to Brown (though
       close), Buffalo (though FBS, awful game), and UTEP (though a
       respectable showing).
       They are in an arguably tougher conference.  Thats gotta go for
       something, week in and out.
       My only prediction is to take the over!  Whats that you think,
       like 80?  90?

       I don't disagree that they're good. You have to be to go 11-0.
       Yes they beat New Mexico in OT. New Mexico is 1-10. Yes they
       have a better league, but not that much better. You guys can
       beat them.

       Everybody who follows SHSU/FCS football closely knows we got one
       hella tough game come Saturday. Yes our SOS is weak, but that's
       out of the players hands. They more than made up for it with the
       scoring margin. Also, I know UNM lobos are a weak FBS squad, but
       we still hung 48 points on THEIR field during THEIR homecoming.
       IMO that is impressive and negates any overrated comments.

       Pulled this off katfans.com
       "The Kats are 10.5 point favorites over SBU and the over/under
       is 63.5."

       I wouldn't say they're over-rated at all. The Team is
       undefeated. Has played great so far. I dont know much about
       them, but just looking at the margin of victory shows this team
       is no Joke . Also, a look at Conference RPI's for Division I
       football places the Big South ahead of only the Northeast
       Conference. Southland is a significantly stronger conference.
       Still, the game is decided on the field and a lot of variables
       take part in the outcome. So SB can do this. Go Brook!

       Personally, I have really gotten tired of hearing SOS.  As I
       have stated before on other boards, it is tough to go 11-0 at
       any level, strong or weak schedule.  If you dont know much about
       this team, here are some quick facts...This team is damn good.
       Ton of team speed, balanced on offense and a very aggressive,
       tough defense.  This team will hit you in the mouth, then hit
       you again.
       Quick stats...(National Rankings in FCS)
       OFFENSE
       #2 Scoring offense       39.0 ppg
       #25 Total Offense       414.0 ypg
       #7 Rush Offense         250.0 ypg
       #3 Pass Efficiency       160.1 rating
       #7 Sacks Allowed        .73
       #2 Time of Poss.
       DEFENSE
       #1 Scoring Defense
       #1 Rush Defense
       #2 Total Defense
       #2 Turnover Margin
       #3 Turnovers Gained
       #2 Pass Efficiency Defense
       SHSU is not only good, but they are young.  There are only 12
       seniors on the entire roster.  Biggest makeup of the roster is
       with 43 freshman.  This team should be damn good over the next
       several years.  Our three main playmakers on offense are all
       sophomores and two of the three were All Southland Conference
       Perfomers,
       RB   Tim Flanders ---- Southland Conference Player of the Year
       WR Richard Sincere-- Southland Conference Offensive Player of
       the Year
       The other key to this teams success this year is the lack of
       injuries in key areas.  SHSU has been very fortunate in this
       area.  Both teams seem to be evenly matched on paper.  Lets see
       what happens on the field.  Its a long trip from NY to Texas.

       An interesting stat that I saw on anygivensaturday is that SHSU
       has only faced one rb with 700 yards or more. They haven't seen
       backs anywhere near as productive as either Maysonet (1500) or
       Jackolski (1300) . I think they're going to be the most athletic
       defense we've seen all year but our offense should have a
       considerable size advantage over their D.
