For sixty minutes, the Mountaineers and Nittany Lions traded blows like two heavyweights in a twelve round bout. As the game progressed to overtime, it was Penn State who landed the final flurry that would complete the most exciting game of the college football’s introductory weekend. A loss is not just always a loss. This was not a game where the out-of-towners simply hung around. Our team not only battled to take the lead twice against Penn State, they also persevered through multiple two touchdown deficits in the fourth quarter. Any other foe may have folded, but not the Mountaineers. Throughout time, Appalachian has faced many long odds in football games, but one thing always rings true. App State is going to give you four quarters. They are going to give you an honest days work. They are going to give you everything they have, because anything less is unacceptable. Now, the scene changes, from one of the largest venues in the sport, to the smallest. Facing a program with twenty-two wins the last two seasons, to one that has eighteen wins, all time. A wanna-be fledgling upstart versus an established storied powerhouse. The roles will have been flipped, and this weekend App State plays the role of the hunted.

I see this game going much like the 2015 ODU game. Relatively new football program going against a young, talented, and established team with rich tradition.

Unfortunately I don't think this is going to be the blowout most of you do. This is their Super Bowl.

They are either going to shock us and keep it close or Scott will call of the dogs early. Either way Apps win. I don't see Scott running it up on purpose against anyone, even UNC Harrisburg. While I wish he would, I just don't see it. Just hope no one gets hurt and our bench gets some game experience.

BTW- Big C- thanks for all that you do!

Going to hope we have no let down. But expect to let up sometime in the game.

I don't care when we reach 49, but after that every offensive play should be a kneel-down.
