[QUOTE="Travis Trucks, post: 2909487, member: 71413"] I think this can not be stated enough. First game rust is always a thing, but for us its usually masked because we are playing a SWAC team that we can overmatch. Non SWAC openers for us recently: 2015 at Minnesota - This was an average Minnesota team we played and we looked like crap offensively. 2013 vs. LSU - We actually didn't play that bad but only made it close due to special teams and turnovers 2011 vs. Baylor - Defense played awful in the loss 2010 vs. Oregon State - Fell behind early and then hung on to beat an Oregon State team that finished 5-7 2009 vs. Virginia - Looked rusty offensively against a Virginia team that went 3-9 You have to go back to our 2008 opener vs. New Mexico for the last time we played a solid game on both sides of the ball vs. a non FCS opener [/QUOTE]
