Press conf going on now. I haven't been able to watch.
After Marshall and Castle getting hurt during the game, hopefully they are good.

Castle back at practice yesterday, no one mentioned Marshall.
Hughes still out.

A win this week and maybe just maybe we backdoor into a bowl game.

At the 2/3 point of the season the sunbelt is 54-51 overall. At large spots from the belt may be few and far between unless a lower bowl thinks one of our teams will pull in enough revenue to make it worth it. We travel pretty well so our fanbase might be our trump card if we squeeze out 6.

Line opens at App +2.5.
Odds App wins six games this year currently at 10.3%, odds we win out 0.9%.

Hughes likely done for the season. Has only played four games to date.

I think this is a huge game. There is no indication that there is a particularly good team in the SBE. It seems like we could win out or loose the next four.

You’re right, the Belt doesn’t look good this year.

The West might be the more dominate division this year and we need them to start beating our fellow Eastern teams to give us a chance.

We went form most likely having nothing left to play for to being in a distant discussion for both a bowl and yes, still in the hunt. How cool would it be to win out?

I know folks are flying high after a victory last week, and I'm glad we won as well, but this ODU game and the Coastal game are the only two games left on the schedule that I think we can win. Both are a tossup to me. I think App is better than ODU, but ODU has been playing better the last few weeks. Then again, so has App. *shrugs* I know y'all appreciate that hot take.

They are looking much better and with a redshirt freshman. Another example that shows freshmen can get it done. I am hoping we can get a good HS QB that is able to play this early like the ODU QB or McCall at the start of his career. It would be nice to know who our QB is for 3-4 years.

Georgia State was trash and we struggled with them. Not too optimistic for the next 4 games. These teams seem to at least have a pulse.

Lloyd Christmas?
0.5% chance of winning the division, so you're saying there's a chance!

ODU beat GS 47-19 five days ago. We are unlikely to be favored in any remaining games, but we'll win a couple and just miss out on a bowl if I were to guess.

Any word on the freshman Wilson from Rock Hill?

But, ODU also lost to ECU and Coastal and only beat GaSt by 7. So, who knows in this strange season.
Our keys are to limit mistakes and hit the Freshman QB early and often. We've have to make him one-dimensional (which is a big challenge). He's rushed for at least 65 yards each game. (Usually the type of player we struggle to defend in a normal season)

Colton Joseph might be a freshman, but that kid is no joke. Also, it will be interesting to see how App responds to that weird defense the Monarchs run. Some teams were able to figure it out, but others struggled.
Typical Sun Belt East this season...hard to tell who's gonna win from week to week.

The rumor going around is that Ponce likes taller QBs and that is why he has gone for Billy and wants a QB in the portal after the season. I also heard that Wilson is not gonna be ready next year but that is disappointing to me because I was hoping with his credentials he would be the guy. I would be curious to hear what those who talk to our coaches on here would say though. We have missed out on 2 QBs from HS we had committed and I am curious to know if we are going to try to get another one out of HS in this class.

I'd like to direct Ponce to a certain 5'11" QB we used to have....
