WKU defense?
Now that everybody has seen us play against Astate, is our defense still over rated?

I'm not the a$$ of this board, but this post was aimed towards the Astate people saying that WKU had only played poor teams and our defense would not be as good as Orgons 3rd string. I noticed that many Astate fans was predicting scoring over 40 on us? I truly wanted a out side opinion from somebody that had played a so call good defense before us to see how we compared.

RE: WKU defense?
Interesting how quiet some of the stAte folks have been since Saturday's game. You all know who you are. Second half WKU defense was wicked. Let's hear from you Wolves fans that were so vocal prior to the game!

RE: WKU defense?
WKU has the best defense in the Sun Belt by far; WKU, ULM and FIU were expected to be the best in the preseason but the other two haven't been that impressive.

Troy and FIU would disagree...Neither team could run on the Cajuns.

WKU will go 11-1, and make dahbeed look foolish with his preseason projections!

11-1 with the quality of this years Sun belt is very unlikely for any team. WKU fans still expect the worst to happen at any moment

I'd have to agree. The conference has some good teams this year. Not saying it couldn't happen but it will be tough to get through the conference schedule without at least one loss.

Well none of the remaining teams beat you last year - and you are better this year. Maybe ULL pulls it off @ Lafayette - but I can't see anyone else getting it done.
We'll know more after Thursday night's stAte @ FIU game. If stAte doesn't score 30 I'll back off my projection.

I have to disagree. We still don't know how good ULM, MTSU, or ULL is. Too early to call 11-1 in this conference. I think there is as good a chance that ULM can go 10-2 as WKU going 11-1. Not saying it won't happen, but teams better have on their track shoes playing the Warhawks.

Because ULM plays WKU @ Bowling Green - there is NOT just as good a chance of ULM running the table. WKU's defense is WAY WAY better than what you faced against Arkansas and Baylor.

Ulm will not put up points on WKU like they have been against everybody else. Part of the reason is our defense and the other reason is our ball control....you can't score if you don't have the ball. I think after this week we will know more about the Sun Belt. But my gut tells me that UL , MT, Troy, WKU , ULM and Astate will get to six wins with UL, MT WKU and Troy going to a bowl. The only reason Im not sold on ULM yet* is they seem to use a fool me once type of game and better teams wont be fooled twice.
* this is a disclaimer that states ulm could be the real deal

I know there is some sarcasm in there but being at the game in person and see how we adjusted and put a wall up against State in the 2nd half even impressed me.

I guess we'll just have to see. I think ULM is for real, but who knows?

Oh I meant no disrespect for ULM. I think you guys are good. But playing @ WKU won't be nearly as easy as playing UA @ LR.
