The Lane Train has jumped the tracks. But, they are still a very dangerous team.
I watched a good bit of USM-Auburn, what with the long weather delays. Jack Abraham looked good at times. You can see he knows what a QB is supposed to do, he has the right instincts and field awareness. But, he's too small, his arm too weak, for this level of big time college football. Several times the speedy and very athletic Auburn DBs recovered and made a play because the pass lacked enough zip. But, he is good, and will only get better with more playing time.
Overall....CUSA is a mess! It's up for grabs! The only thing we do know is that some teams absolutely, embarrassingly suck! Like UTEP and Rice, for instance. Most of the league is weak to mediocre and no one, not a single team, has separated itself from the rest. In the east Marshall appears to have stepped to the front, as their huge win at WKU attests. But, Marshall still has MTSU and FAU, both at home. Win those and they will cement themselves into the CG. In the west, we have stepped to the front after last night, and like Marshall, get to host another contender, UAB.
But, in the big picture, honestly, being CUSA champion is like being the tallest midget in the room. This conference sucks!
