September 7, 2016September 28, 2016 David Zazofsky

Tweet (1-1) Charleston Southern @ #3 Florida State – Saturday, Sept 10th, 12:30pm (Fox Sports South, ESPN3) CSU is a week away from the bye week that they really need right now but has FSU in the way. This is as sure an epic loss as they could possibly schedule, right? Well, actually….there is some precedent here. On... Read More

Big South: Week 1 Review

September 5, 2016September 28, 2016 David Zazofsky

Tweet(1-0) Central Michigan 49, (0-1) Presbyterian 3 Presbyterian is, if nothing else, consistent. Watching this opening contest of 2016 for the Blue Hose on Thursday night, this game could very easily have been mistaken for one straight out of the middle of the 2015 season. That’s both a good thing and a bad thing if you’re a Presby fan. It’s difficult... Read More

Let’s get right to it: Presbyterian @ Central Michigan – Thursday, Sept 1st, 7:00pm (ESPN3) The Presbyterian College Blue Hose begin this season, as they do nearly every season, on the road. On Saturday, PC will make their third... Read More

Big South: Week 0 Recap

August 29, 2016September 28, 2016 David Zazofsky

Tweet(1-0) North Dakota State 24, (0-1) Charleston Southern 17 (OT) I know a lot of the pundits are cheering today about what a great college football game the FCS Kickoff was and how this contest bears out the truth that “anyone can beat anyone on any given Saturday”. Initially, I watched it live on Saturday night and was genuinely... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Presbyterian

August 24, 2016August 27, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy of Libertine on AGS Harold Nichols’ squad was a consistently tough out for nearly everyone on their schedule in 2015. The Blue Hose were competitive in nearly every game and were within one score in each of their conference losses. They were particularly sturdy on defense, holding playoff teams Coastal Carolina, Charleston Southern and... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Monmouth

August 22, 2016August 8, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy of Libertine on AGS Based on 2015, Monmouth should have been the dark horse pick to make some noise in the Big South this year. Having swapped out virtually their entire offensive personnel and schemes, the Hawks got off to a slow start losing to Holy Cross, Central Michigan and Fordham, picked up... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Liberty

August 17, 2016August 1, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy Libertine on AGS Unequivocally, the biggest question mark in the Big South conference hovers over Liberty. After finally getting the playoff monkey off their back in 2014, the Flames entered 2015 with four senior All-Americans on the roster, some high expectations and a general sense of promise. While some of that promise... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Kennesaw State

August 15, 2016August 8, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy Libertine on AGS In only their first year of existence, head coach Brian Bohannon’s Owls turned out to be exactly who we thought they were. Behind a triple-option attack run by The Citadel transfer, QB Trey White, KSU easily handled their early “starter” opponents and were 4-1 with the only loss coming at... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Gardner-Webb

August 10, 2016August 15, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy Libertine on AGS Gardner-Webb’s 2015 campaign had a few bright spots – the brightest certainly being their upset win over a ranked Liberty team – but, on the whole, inconsistent play forced their season into a slow boring descent toward winter. Things started off reasonably well as G-W took a second-half lead in their opener against FBS South... Read More
