Some of you really have your sites set high in recruiting...

[VGWinKid]

I was in the top 3 of a few of those.

[pearice]

Yeh i was thinking the same thing... i have 2* and 1* haha poor MTSU

[crazemac]

I don't think I went after anyone over a 3 star...

[BsktbllJk]

I hate the recruiting this year....why would i want to target an area that is low...let me pick the area to hit the recruit wit...very ***

[fsuprime]

it can be frustrating, i just remind myself the other teams im competing with have it the same (unless ur trying for 4*s and 5*s lol)

[gschwendt]

Think of it as the recruit is the one driving the conversation this year, then when you get to pick the pitch, that's you interjecting.

[psusnoop]

I actually like the recruiting this year. While it does have some faults, I think it is slightly better because as a Coach if you found the Most, VH and VH early that would be the only thing you would pitch the recruit for 3 hrs +. Which to me really isn't real either. So while this isn't perfect, I think it is a step in the right direction. I'm good with it.

LOL at the 4* and 5* talent choosing other schools.

I feel like I'm reaching for the stars with 2 3*'s and the rest 2*'s and 1*'s.

Arkansas State needed seven field goals from Kicker Brandon Parker but the Red Wolves do defeat Indiana 35-32. The new look offense performed well gaining 254 yards on the ground. QB Aerion Williams rushed the ball 15 times for 70 yards while HB Derek Lawson carried the ball 15 times for 111 yards. WR Allen Muse was a surprise on the action as he was able to take his lone carry 70 yards for a touchdown (the lone offensive touchdown on the day). The Red Wolf defense struggled to tackle Indiana HB Darius Williams who carried the ball 27 times for 202 yards and 2 touchdowns.

With the win, the Red Wolves are now 6-1 and thus bowl eligible. Next week they face conference foe Florida Atlantic in the first of four remaining conference games which they'll likely have to win-out in order to have a chance to win the conference title.

[VGWinKid]

[psusnoop]

I will be playing my game tonight. WKU looking to ride the wave and improve to 2-4 on the season.

[crazemac]

[HairyDawg]

Some of you really have your sites set high in recruiting...

I have 25 recruits on my list that are legitament and the other 10 I'm swinging for the fence.

[HairyDawg]

Well after fumbling 8 times (lost 4 & 2 returned for TDs) and throwing 2 picks, I lose by less than 2 TDs.

[OUzREIGNSUPREME]

After an embarrassment at home against conference foe Ball State Western Michigan pulls off the semi upset in South Bend 24-21, the key being no turnovers.

[texacotea]

Cajuns move to .500 with a win against troy. Hopes were to atleast share the sunbelt championship this year but was shattered due to the unthinkable

[BsktbllJk]
