Official Fighting Nonsectarians prediction thread

[bigCasu]

Chalk another one up in the “Close, but no cigar category.” A loss to Miami was probable, but a gut wrenching loss decided in the final moments was not what App State fans had in mind. Have we not suffered this fate enough? The close calls can kill you. They stick for awhile. Almost to the point that nothing matters as we stare into a campfire for moments on end trying to comprehend what your eyes just witnessed. Well, that’s at least what I did. Truth is the last close calls we had actually went our way. How quickly we forget needing to block a field goal at North Carolina to avoid overtime. Remember when everyone’s heart stopped beating as a football fluttered out of the back of a Columbia end zone. That pendulum has swung both ways. We all want them all, but these things have a way of evening out. Doubtful anyone would trade either Carolina game for Miami, or the others. Yet, the result brings outs a complicated range of emotions, and of wanting more. The only way to get past it, is to play ball.

45-0 App. There it is.

[mountaineerman]

37-3 apps on top could score 50 if we want

[t4pizza]

Hope to see big things out of our reserves in the second half. Easy win here, we could score as much as we want but Clark won't run it up too bad.

Burnt Birds 3...... Apps..all we want. They always did count FG's as scores as if they were equivalent to TD's.

66-0. Just repeating what I heard on 9-6-21 from one of the Elon guys for his prediction on their sports show when I was driving home on I-40 from the beach.

Do we play Huesman vs one or two of the younger guys? Elon reps aren’t going to mean much to Huesman.

[biggie]

Tough to call. How much do we slow down when we get up by a decent amount? Does the young guys on D let some scores happen?

We win. NP.
I think final may be closer than expected due to younger players getting PT for a lot of the game.

It's a fair point about us winning those close calls, but those were both games where we held double-digit second half leads and let the opponent back into it but never gave up the lead. South Carolina, in particular, never should have been that close - they were dead in the water until we breathed life into them with the prevent. And that UNC field goal try was a desperation attempt they were very unlikely to make regardless of the block.

Other than Penn State (which we led in the final minute), all our P5 heartbreakers have been nip and tuck the whole way. And we just can't seem to find a way to close them out.

But I digress.
