RFC Throwback Thursday: 2021 DEBUT-September 4-5, 2003 Highlights


(Video courtesy of ESPN.)

"Throwback Thursday" is back for another season of looking back at the past for all things "alternative" college football, or college football at all levels outside of the current "Power 5 Conference" structure.

This week's episode turns the clock back to the week of September 4-5, 2003. That was when UAB played host to Southern Miss, while Fresno State hosted Oregon State. The Golden Eagles outlasted the Blazers 17-12 on Thursday, September 4 en route to winning the Conference USA championship, while the Bulldogs knocked off the Beavers the following night (Friday, September 5) on the way to a second-place finish in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), finishing at 9-5 overall following a 17-9 season-ending win over UCLA in the now-defunct Silicon Valley Football Classic on December 31.
