The first test is over. Nothing to get excited about one way or another, but the second will be tougher. Appalachian finds itself knowing there is a lot of time to grow, which is much better place to be than thinking you have it all figured out. Both teams find themselves in an interesting spot. Clemson might find themselves in a semi-must win situation. Nobody wants to be 0-2 to start the season at any level of football. You start questioning yourself and what you are doing. Appalachian is looking for that win that most would consider a resume booster. It’s an opportunity to prove that your team belongs that does not come often for most schools. It’s not and end of the world scenario for the Mountaineers if they were to lose, but it could signal the beginning of something special if they were to win. The pressure will always lie with the favorite in these type of games. The humiliation would be overpowering, much greater than the expected result. But isn’t that why we play the games? To write the storylines that could meander down a path that nobody expects, from the lowest of valleys to the highest peaks?

Re: Official Whose Howard is better prediction thread
Will be a tough one for sure. A win this week would put us in the drivers seat for a while at least. I'm not making a pick but I know who I'll pull for start to finish! Go App!

Re: Official Whose Howard is better prediction thread
For everyone saying that App has nothing to lose in this game, that is absolutely untrue. This will be a playoff atmosphere and a litmus test for the CFP come December. While this isn’t the most important game on the schedule, it is very, very important for positioning.
That said, App has the better QB, the better offensive coordinator, and I believe one of the most unheralded defensive coordinators in the game. So long as run fits aren’t an issue, App wins.
App - 27
Clempson - 17
Final score of the game comes on Nate Johnson’s first touchdown.

If not for the blowout loss to Georgia, I might pick us to win, but they are now very desperate. So I’ll go head over heart.
