On the flip side, it allows you to be in games against 4 and 5 star DL from Georgia and LSU who can physically whip you at the line of scrimmage bc you don't have to impose your physical will to move the ball.

That's why all in the same season leach can can beat top 15 teams like Stanford and lose to eastern wash (2016);

or beat top 10 usc and lose to meh Arizona (2017);

or go 9-4 with top 20 wins but lose to portland state (2017).

We've already won as an underdog this year and prob will again. May lose as a favorite again too. It's the Leach experience.
Then might as well reduce the seating capacity at Davis Wade to 40,000 cause that'll drive State fans to apathy. IMO a loss to a mediocre FCS school or someone you're supposed to beat does more harm than a win as an underdog does good, with the exception of beating a top 5 team. And this offense has zero chance of doing that in our league.
