Pretty sure Citadel's starting QB did not play.

Finals -

ETSU 20-14 Austin Peay
Samford 55-21 Alabama A&M

you are correct, he didn't ... but he also didn't play 4th q at GT or OT and the backup led them to a win there

I think ETSU is going to be a bit like Mercer, but with a better defense. Austin Peay had big win against the Bears, but the margin was skewed a bit by two pick sixes.

I tried to say that last week and I felt not many were listening. LOL On that I was right... stay with me as I admit I was really really WRONG (and glad to eat crow !!!) about a nail-biter with Mercer !!! I was big-tim wrong !!! And I am so glad I was wrong !

Yes, first scout (is rare you get a non-conference team who played both our opponents the week before! conference yes, but FCS non-conference to watch and scout is odd and nice)
AP beat Mercer 48-34 in a game of 3 turnovers by. Mercer and a punt block... and two of the APy went for pick six
ETSU beat AP (and I am glad they did for SoCon status) 20-14 in a defensive battle. Pick sixes or no (vs Mercr) ETSU clearly played w more defensive gusto than Mercer did. Not surprising as they have preseason D player of year in Nasir Little a 6'5 DL who might get NFL looks. ETSU did lose to VMI in a shocker in OT the week before .

I’m not so sure the SoCon gets more than one team in the playoffs this year. The OOC play has been pretty poor overall.

SoCon hasn’t done well outside of Furman and Citadel. Though Wofford and Samford and ETSU helped yesterday. Especially ETSU. Some will depend on SoCon record. I think a 7 win team ( in league) would probably go even if two of them

Saw a link on FCS had us as two bid league. Hope so.
