It was brilliant that the inaugural game was against a D2 cupcake. Wonderful for confidence. Now they're on the road against a fellow five-letter FCS opponent, PVAMU, coming off a close win over Texas Southern.

I'll take PVAMU in a close one.

Let's see how they do against DI competition. But no question the fanbase is there. I want to see this program succeed and quickly promote to FBS.

The heart & soul of the SB program is their 5’6 junior running back Fabian Garcia. He runs like every carry is his last one and the team goes as he goes. I don’t know how he compares to Austin competition, probably poorly. However it’s not everyday a valley kid runs for 300 yards in one game against a San Antonio school, which is what he did last week:

 

Special shout-out to this guy, who joined the UTRGV program as a day 1 walk on and worked his way up the depth chart to get some carries in the opener, and scored a touchdown late in the game.

UTRGV outgained Sul Ross by 674 to 74 yards, and the Lobos had nearly as many penalty yards (70) as offensive yards.  The Vaqueros scored every time they had the ball except for a missed field goal in the fourth quarter, scoring 9 touchdowns and one field goal.  UTRGV quarterback Eddie Lee Marburger completed 18 of 19 passes for 365 yards and 5 touchdowns in the first half (!) and the Vaqueros lead 49-0 at halftime.  UTRGV took the foot off the gas in the second half with their second-teamers and got to spend most of the day celebrating their football program’s first-ever win.

First points ever allowed in program history, 17-3

A running into the kicker that the awful broadcast team missed before commercial break. 17-0 still, but UTRGV is probably going to be scored on here.

We got Tony Diaz to commit at WR. The exact kind of explosive playmaker the offense needed.

He has now scored a TD in each of their first 2 games, is Marburger’s primary target at WR and is already a team captain. Why people doubt my scouting ability is beyond me.

Up next a couple of NAIA games before they get to the meat of their FCS schedule. It’s good they already took one against an FCS opponent. Smart to let the team feel good and win some games and get the fans excited. 
 

I’d like to see then win 2 remaining FCS games and not get blown out against UIW or SFA.

SFA blows again - year 6 of Carthel and they are still shit.

Saw they were picked 2nd in the Southland. A loss to a P5 school and a decent game against ranked ACU won’t sink them. UIW is the class of the conference but they may challenge for a 2nd playoff spot.  
 

For sure not an FCS power but they’ll be a challenge for UTRGV.
