Re: We are legit
Clemson won and went down in the pole last week. They have a chip on their shoulder this week. Not watching but assume they did not remove starters at the beginning of the 3rd. If they wanted to make a statement against App they could have.

Re: We are legit
Tulsa is bad but not of the offensive side of the ball. Their QB has thrown for over 2500 yards this year and they average 35 points a game. They just give up a ton.HeffnerIV wrote:Memphis is a really good team, but their D is awful. They gave up 42 to a bad Tulsa team who Monroe played tight.

Re: We are legit
This statement affirms my point. They can't truly be a good team of their defense is awful.HeffnerIV wrote:Memphis is a really good team, but their D is awful. They gave up 42 to a bad Tulsa team who Monroe played tight.

Re: We are legit
Toledo is loosing right now to 1 win UMass. Yes that UMass. The team so bad their conference kicked them out.
If Toledo doesn't stage a pretty nice comeback that's one less team between us and a New Years Bowl.

Yes, they are undefeated, but you can't argue that their D isn't bad. Their O has just been good enough to overcome it.hapapp wrote:They are good enough to this point to be undefeated.AppSt94 wrote:This statement affirms my point.

Re: We are legit
Two things were clear to me Thursday. 1) Cox is an athlete (he is generating AE type buzz, he is the player everyone knows and comes to see). Forget what qtr but Lamb threw him a pass around the GaSo 30 on the west side. Bad throw, Cox turned his body full stride changed direction and made the catch. In Lamb's defense he put it where nobody but Cox could catch and he made a play. 2) Moore is a baller. We get him for three more, the future is bright. Right now a Sun Belt conference championship is this team's focus. Bowl eligibility crap behind us ball out and let the chips fall where they will. GO APP!!

Re: We are legit
It's all about the bottom line. Memphis not only has the best win of any G5 team this year, they've also beaten two of the top 15 or so G5s in Bowling Green and Cincinnati. Fair to point to their defense as a question mark, but you can't say they aren't a good team.

Re: We are legit
If we take care of our remaining business we will no doubt finish the season among the top 50 (at least) teams in the country. Heck, I can name a handful of P5's we could probably take on and beat- BC, Wake, Kansas, KState, Purdue, Oregon St, Colorado. I am sold on Clemson. They are loaded and deep. We slugged it out with them and the turnovers killed us. They didn't just stomp on us like they did to Miami yesterday.

Re: We are legit
Duke would probably beat us. But noboy else in the state scares me. State sucks, Heels suck so bad they can barely beat UVA, ECU sucks and Wake is the worst of that group. I would love to see App and Duke on a neutral field.
Everybody's entitled to their opinion and mine happens to be that we could possibly be the best team in the state. Had a big time donor to State tell me the exact same thing Friday. People are taking notice weather the media has caught on or not.

Re: We are legit
I tend to agree that we would play State, UNC and ECU tough and have a good shot at beating them. I was somewhat impressed at what State did to South Alabama but now I see how bad they are. The Sunbelt bottom feeders are FCS like horrific- or are we just really good and truly top 40-50 and in a place we have never really known before? It is really hard to gauge teams like Duke and the second tier P5's. Going from top FCS to growing in strength G5 really shows how much difference the added scholarships and overall talent level really matters. I really have an appreciation for what we accomplished with 65 scholarship players, a handful of which were FBS level and the remainder who just played their tails off. I'll say it again. We are legit. Being a Panther fan as well I can say it feels great to have my teams at 11-1! Go Apps and go Panthers.

Re: We are legit
The advantage App has over other Sun Belt teams like LOS dominance and physicality would be leveled out against ACC teams who get bigger players. Satt would have to get a bit more creative with the play-calling than just driving with outside zone stretch plays.
In a one-off game against Chapel Hill and NC State, App would have a decent chance while Wake could be a blow out win and Duke would be really tough. ECU would probably be the second toughest game.

Re: We are legit
Duke has not beaten a team with a .500 or better record all year, and two of their wins came by 2 points each.
They'd be tough for App of course, but far from unbeatable. I don't think they're better than UNC, and I don't think they're that much better than State or ECU.

Re: We are legit
Looked back over our games this year. Howard- no points in the 4th quarter (could have easily been over 60), ODU (same as Howard), Wyoming (pouring rain, we know that deal), Georgia State (took the foot off the pedal, could have scored 50 at least), GSU (took a knee at the end, a TD puts us over 40), LMU (59 points, enough said). I guess my point is that if we needed more impressive style points we could have easily gotten them.
