Are you really trying to allude that Boise State and Southern Miss are comparable? Last year, Boise State put up 60 points against Southern Miss. Yes, I know it's not 2013 anymore.


Giving up 14 points is never more impressive than giving up zero points. It's hilarious how quickly an 8-5 team in the Mountain West becomes world-beaters when they shut you down for 3 quarters...

So, by this standard, shutting out Jackson state would be more impressive than holding, let's say Florida state to 14 points?

They gave up 7. I never said they were world beaters, but they are certainly a better team than Southern Miss. It's too early to tell who will have the better defense between the Mississippi schools IMO, they should both be good.

ETA: I thought you were talking about the Boise State/USM game from last year. They only scored 7, and it was 13 points for our game this year.

That's your opponent's record over the past 3 yeas. No "metrics" can overcome that.


Which is more impressive?


Shutting down Amory High School.....or keeping the Denver Broncos under 50?

Of course it absolutely can be.

If we were to hold Texas A&M to 14 points, that would be MUCH more impressive than if we were to hold Southern Miss to 0.

And yet you're trying to compare them to a 1-11 team in the CUSA.

Yeah, I guess giving up zero points to a 1-23 team is more impressive than only giving up 14 to a 2 time national championship team in the 2 years.

You're an idiot.
