I believe this is the best defense we have ever had. By the end of the season, Miami and AppState will be in the top 10 defenses in the country.

Spurlin amazes me how well he hangs with his size 5'11" 235. Meech and Roof looked like they were being held all night. Roof blitzing looked like a hold 10 times (never called). It will be tough for teams to score on APPSTATE!!!!!!!!!

Spurlin is Rudy with talent….

Fun to watch.... Defense !!!!!

Agree on the holding comment. I don't know what Miami had to do to get called for holding. Frustrating.

I agree, whichever 11 was on field was lights out. Hope we give the defense a lights out welcome at
The Rock this Saturday.

Defense wins Championships. This team will not be denied! Go Apps!

The one time I remember it being called against Miami, the running back jumped on our player’s back and tackled him.

Yeah, there were blatant holds that were not called.

Conference officials defend their own.

Nevertheless, props to Dale Jones, large plate of crow for me for years past of doubting. Excellent job Dale Jones!

Roof showed his promise. Looking forward to more of it.His Dad is a class act.

Didn’t I see a graphic that the refs were actually from the SBC?

Although I think the ACC and Belt have some shared officials.

Was anything mentioned about Huff’s injury in postgame? I noticed that he came back in the game in second half after the initial hand issue and then almost immediately hurt himself again. He seems to get little nagging injuries every year, but rarely misses games.

Also, has anything been mentioned about Stu Head’s status? I noticed he wasn’t dressed against ECU, but wasn’t sure about why he was sitting.

Edit: confirmed that the lead referee, Kyle Olson, is a Sun Belt ref.

They do appear to be on the same level.

In non-conference games, the visiting team is responsible for the officials. I am pretty sure we had AAC refs against ECU

According to the broadcast they were SBC refs

Stu still working on getting well. Great kid and hopeful for a return.
