And the year we almost knocked off a ranked USF team? A USF team
that went on to win 10 games and finish ranked 21st in the final
FBS AP Poll? If you want to cherry pick data I can. This is a
bad look for sure, but one single game doesn't mean we don't
belong in FBS. A school of our profile should be in the ACC or
Big Ten with our peers.

I normally agree with your assessments, but you are wrong about
this. This team belongs in the FCS. Coach P does not have what
it takes to recruit and groom players to compete in the upper
division. Coach P needs to go!!

Saying “we belong in the FCS” is a terrible mentality. There’s
no room for growth if you’re happy with settling for mediocrity.
There’s no way that you can be happy playing in what is known as
the subpar conference, where schools like Utah a state look at
us as jokes.

Some take aways on Utah St - They are more skilled than we
were , faster and more athletic . Plus we gave up 22
scholarships 85 to 63 . Their QB is talked about as possible
Heisemen Candidate. We had no chance in this game the deck
was stacked against us. If we ever move up I think the MAC is a
reasonable goal . All our sports are in the same boat . We have
good athletes that are a grade or two below FBS kids in any
sport . Thats the reality of FCS and being in lower conferences
all around.

As far as SB QB, is concerned, J. Cassidy should be the starter.
I really hope coach P doesn't do that rotating thing again.
Stick with your guy and let him get more comfortable each game.
That guy is Cassidy!

The total shellacking last night by a good (but not great) team
along with lowly Albany beating Bryant by more than SB could
does not bode well for the season. This year may be yet another
disappointing one for fans.
Moving to FBS so we can lose by a better score isn’t the answer.
Having a coaching staff that can take the program to an FCS
elite level, is.

I think I'm the only person that puts up stuff on this website
that was on the sidelines for the Air Force game and the Utah
State game so I feel that I have a pretty good perspective for
both games I'm not going to defend or bash Coach P. but rather
from my vantage point what I saw.
The offense as whole even though the score doesn't show it we
actually played better against Utah State than Air Force
Carbone could not generate anything last year and I believe that
our Stats support that while this year Fields was shaky however
in the Bryant game last week SBU was on the one yard line and
sneaked in but he took a very big hit that hurt his shoulder
however they thought he was fit to start but his passes were all
over the place ( by the way he was at times off last week as
well) but he has more athleticism than Cassidy so that/s why he
started once they realized he wasn't getting it done they
brought in Cassidy who did a great job but he lacks the speed
that Fields has.
The RB's last year could not gain yards against Air Force while
White and Neget were able to get positive yards, By the way in
the Bryant game 2 of our RB's got hurt Alex Indelagado tore his
ACL while Ty'Son Lawton had a bad sprained ankle which prevented
him from even traveling with the team.
The passing game against Air Force was terrible SBU did manage
to get positive yards. The thing I was surprised that we should
have tried getting the TE's more involved to loosen up the
running game.
OL was really bad last year at Air Force and I felt our OL
against Utah State was up and down but still only sub par as I
felt they should have been driving the DL back more on the
running plays.
Last year against Air Force they ran the triple option which we
couldn't defend all game while against Utah State they ran a
play every 3 seconds and SBU could not set up their defensive
set which enabled to run off huge chunks of yardage. In both
cases because SBU never saw those offenses they never were able
to defend, In the Utah State game our fierce tackling knocked
out 3 Utah players from the game that never returned.
Special teams were bad against both teams however on the punt
return td on the replay in the stadium you can definitely see
the SBU player being held. On all the kick offs in the Utah
State they were either in the end zone or we called a fair catch
because the coaches thought we couldn't get to the 25 so they
decided not to let him return any of the kickoffs.
In wrapping up we probably won't have around 3 players from this
game because of injuries. SBU practices on Sundays after every
game and takes off on Mondays the reason is to address all
mistakes including the ones that the coaches make.
What I said here is my opinion and no one elses

Only watched pieces of the game. We were clearly outclassed. My
vote is for Cassidy as the starting QB; overall, he showed a lot
more composure, imo. With our running game much less strong than
in recent years, our reliance on passing will be a lot more
important, and I think Cassidy gives us the best chance in that
department, imo.

As long as Fields is healthy he will be the starter with Cassidy
in relief
