After enjoying a bye week following the victory over Florida, the Canes get back on the field this week against their only FCS opponent this year in Savannah St.
Savannah St. made headlines last year for their 2 blowout losses to Oklahoma St. and Florida St. I suppose it is better being famous for losing rather than being sued for racial discrimination (particularly as an HBC). The Oklahoma St. loss was so brutal it forced coach Mike Gundy to plead his case to the media that he didn't run up the score on the way to an 84-0 victory. Pretty sad when an opposing coach has to honestly say, "dude, they just suck".
The loss was so bad that they were promptly named a record 70.5 point underdog for their next game against Florida St. That spread dropped all the way down to 69.5 by kickoff though. The game ended up being 55-0, but it was called due to lighting with over 24 minutes remaining in the game. Talk about a mercy rule.
The point I'm trying to drive home here is that Savannah St. doesn't just suck, they're an embarrassment to the game itself. Their AD knows this and is purposely scheduling these games for the money like most FCS schools do. As bad as they apparently are, I bet they have less turnovers than Florida did against us.
