Personally, I have really gotten tired of hearing SOS. As I have stated before on other boards, it is tough to go 11-0 at any level, strong or weak schedule. If you dont know much about this team, here are some quick facts...This team is damn good. Ton of team speed, balanced on offense and a very aggressive, tough defense. This team will hit you in the mouth, then hit you again.

SHSU is not only good, but they are young. There are only 12 seniors on the entire roster. Biggest makeup of the roster is with 43 freshman. This team should be damn good over the next several years. Our three main playmakers on offense are all sophomores and two of the three were All Southland Conference Perfomers,
RB Tim Flanders ---- Southland Conference Player of the Year
WR Richard Sincere-- Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year
The other key to this teams success this year is the lack of injuries in key areas. SHSU has been very fortunate in this area. Both teams seem to be evenly matched on paper. Lets see what happens on the field. Its a long trip from NY to Texas.
