Occasionally, the results you hope for might not be what is best. As much as a lopsided win can be fun to celebrate it can lead to a false sense of security. It does not hurt to have to endure some adversity along the way. Unfortunately, that adversity can be found off the field. In a few short weeks, the Mountaineers team had been dealt an emotionally difficult hand. As if the loss an ex-teammate due to a senseless act, and a current player lost for a non-football injury were not enough, the Apps were left with news that was unimagineable. The loss that Devan Stringer suffered with the passing of his young daughter is an event no parent prepares for. A tragedy like this reminds us that sometimes the football crossing the goal line is not most important. Look no futher than the words of Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson when passing prayers along to Stringer. Watson and Stringer are childhood friends who have been there for each other during tough times. A topic like this is not easy to talk about, but eventually it’s more than just football, it’s about family.

Re: Official IPTAY prediction thread
This game will gauge how far our program has progressed since moving to FBS more than any other to this point. Needless to say we have come far since our journey began. Question is, have we progressed enough to win Saturday, guess we'll find out. One thing is for certain most of the pressure will be on Clempson simply because they're expected to win. And, I feel we will give them a run for their money. Got to believe:

Re: Official IPTAY prediction thread
App needs to win the time of possession and play with wreckless abandon on D when needed. Our kicking game could be a big key to how well we keep the game in our sights.

I'm hopeful for this one. We need to shock the college football world again. Special teams need to be special and both sides take care of the football.

Re: Official IPTAY prediction thread
Not that it's a shock to anyone here, but as is the case most of the time in these games against P5 teams, the key to the game is how our Big Guys play (including the LBs in this case). If we can get some pressure on the QB, we have a chance to make our stops. If Clemson has time to let plays develop, we're probably in trouble. The OL is the key to establishing the run, and if we can do that we will keep this game respectable....and anything is possible.
I predict that the Apps represent and the fans are entertained!

Re: Official IPTAY prediction thread
Since the Michigan victory, no P5 team has looked past us or taken us lightly.
Since the 07 Michigan win...against P5 schools
13-41 LSU
10-48 Florida
13-66 VT
6-45 UGA
14-52 Michigan
I agree, we have a much better squad than we had those years, however Clemson is also better than our opponents those years. That is why I am giving us 21 points. Clemson will not look past ASU. Early prediction stays the same for me
