What Others Are Saying About McNeese State |
"Stephen F. Austin (10-3, 6-1) has all the pieces in place for another banner season, but McNeese State (9-3, 6-1) has the type of defense that can stand up to the Lumberjacks, including defensive tackle Desmund Lighten and free safety Malcolm Bronson. The Cowboys host SFA on Oct. 9." The Sports Network
"A historic matchup with LSU headlines McNeese State's 2010 football schedule as announced today. The Cowboys and LSU meet Oct. 16 in Baton Rouge and it will be the first such contest between a Louisiana based FCS school and the Tigers. LSU has hosted other FCS teams but McNeese is the first from the home state. McNeese will also take to the road to play the University of Missouri and will host such opponents as Cal-Poly, Lamar, Stephen F. Austin, Nicholls State and Texas State in a five game home slate." McNeeseSports.com
"McNeese is also not typical with what it returns, particularly on defense, from a team that went 9-3 and won the SLC title last season. The Cowboys lost just one starter on defense. That player became a starter when all-conference linebacker Deron Minor was lost for the season to injury." The (Baton Rouge) Advocate
"McNeese State has to replace quarterback Derrick Fourroux and may turn to 25-year-old Jacob Bower, who arrives from Tulsa after earlier stops at BYU and Bakersfield Junior College." The Sports Network
