Validation. If beating Monroe was not enough to put the Sun Belt on notice, Appalachian’s win over Arkansas State last weekend made it official. Appalachian is getting back to its winning ways on the gridiron. In a truly dominating performance, the Mountaineers waltzed into Jonesboro and put a hurting on the defending three time Sun Belt champions. Like the week before against Monroe, Appalachian shook off a two touchdown deficit in the first half. This week the Mountaineers faced that gap twice in the games first thirty minutes. Appalachian scored on five straight possessions over a span that covered the second and third quarters, scoring thirty one points while they held the Red Wolves scoreless. Arkansas State would score twice late but the damage had been done. The Mountaineers had taken down the champs and had given them a loss that would keep them from contending for the Sun Belt title for the fourth straight year. The Mountaineers were left for dead after a dreadful overtime defeat on homecoming weekend. The team that lost that day hardly resembles the group that pummeled Arkansas State. Lafayette is a different animal and the Mountaineers will have to answer the bell again on the road in a tough environment. The test just got tougher.

Heading down tomorrow. Can't wait.

While GSU has the easy schedule in the SunBelt, App State has the hard one and making a statement. I don't think the other school's fans realize we are playing with such a young team. They might as well wake up and realize APP STATE IS BACK!!!!!

App State 38

This is not a favorable matchup for the Apps, because of their size. Taylor has to make smart decisions and the defense has to plug up the middle in Tyson's absence. Kicking might be the difference here and that's not good news.

I have picked the below score for the last two weeks and App has won. Thus, I think I'LL DO IT AGAIN!

REPOSTED FROM LAST WEEK

"I think we lose, but beat the spread:

Longrifles 28

Chicken Thieves 38

I'm not one for moral victories, but I am a realist. I can accept a loss as long as we give our best effort and the other team is just better than us. I hope to see a good game plan, focused, fast, physical play, and no giving up. I think we can make it interesting if we can limit turnovers and penalties."

Since WataugaMan did, I will too (same as last week). I think the key will be how we adapt to traveling that far two weeks in a row. Keep it physical Apps, make ULL remember this day no matter what happens.

[moehler]

they will be ready for us, ULL 34, App 23

Watched the ULL ULM game last night on 3. They have a lot of options on offense. Looked big but slow on D. Also looked vulnerable to the long strike. Long strikes to Meadors have been difference makers for us. Defense is going to have to play smart.

My heart says 34-31 good guys. My head says 48-24 ULL.

MY HEART HAS BEEN RIGHT 4 TIMES SO I STICK WITH IT AGAIN!!

Two games to go in what can be considered a respectable and successful season despite the auspicious start. As long as we finish strong I am okay. Even if we stub our toe this weekend it will be understandable. The last few weeks have been tough sledding. Hoping that Satt and company are still opening new chapters to the playbook. Head and heart saying two different things- I am willing to bet that can be said by many of us.

What the hell. Boys are on a major roll.

Who Dat? 31

[Gonzo]

We will score. Question is, can we stop their rushing attack? With little depth at NG, I feel like we may be worn down in the second half. Woody will have to really earn his pay check this week by scheming around our unfavorable match up in this regard.

I'm calling:

'Neers: 40
South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs: 37

[biggie]

Hope I continue to be wrong...

App - 24
ULL - 37
