I never bought into their defensive resurgence late last year. I'll give them credit for handling Purdue but that was a brutal weather game. Wisconsin and GT had 2 of the worst passing offenses in the P5 last year and Wisconsin was beat up as well.

how much if Fleck paying these refs?!?
-14
I’ve never understood that line of reasoning. Because scheduling a really poor one or a poor Mac team like We do does what exactly for you?

Goofs o-line in total melt down mode. Getting man handled by a bunch of Division 2 players
It might be that sdsu is pretty good. And the early in the year factor
MAC > FCS
Always, especially from an optics standpoint. A MAC team at least has an equal amount of scholarships and, in theory, better talent than 99% of FCS teams.
It's a lose-lose situation.
SDSU is always good. They just get overshadowed by the Bizon.
SDSU is Div I (FCS has been Div I for an awfully long time)

Semantics
If you're going to schedule an FCS team, its an attempt at a glorified scrimmage. To get a lot of guys playing time and develop depth. So don't schedule one that can beat you or really even compete with you. And these top flight FCS schools have proven to be dangerous. They usually have great coaching staffs with well established programs with 5th year SR players all over the place.
Basically if you're going to schedule cupcakes. Make damn sure their very soft cupcakes. Otherwise schedule solid non-conference teams.
They have 22 more scholarships if they are fully funded but FCS teams have been beating Mac teams head to head for years. The only thing the Mac has over the top 35-40 fcs schools (entire Missouri Valley) is perception
Which is exactly why it's not worth it to schedule them. Nothing to gain, everything to lose.
