Entering the fourth quarter last weekend, Appalachian held onto what seemed to be a commanding 21-10 lead. During his career, Jerry Moore has a spectacular record when leading after three quarters and when his team scores twenty or more points. Both trends were on the Mountaineers side last Saturday. Quickly, Samford erased the two score lead with a touchdown less than thirty seconds into the fourth quarter and pulled within three points with a successful two point conversion. Suddenly the Mountaineers had lost the momentum and there was a lot of football to be played. On the final three Mountaineer possessions, they ran 22 plays for 179 yards. Fourth quarter domination had been the theme of the season, but the first two drives of the fourth quarter ended with a Jamal Jackson interception and with a turnover on downs. With 1:33 on the clock, Appalachian had to score a touchdown and were eighty yards from the goal line. The drive included three incompletions and four plays that went for big yardage. Jackson ran once for 17 yards and hit Andrew Peacock on a 21-yard passing play. Sean Price started it and finished it with a 20-yard catch on the first play of the drive, and the game clinching score from 22 yards on the last play. The fact that Appalachian didn’t need a comeback beginning the quarter, but was able to flip the switch, and make the plays when it counted speaks volumes. They now have the confidence they didn’t have earlier in the season during losses to East Carolina and The Citadel.

Thanks BigC.

Still hoping for a full good flowing offensive game. Price could be huge this game as a Quick impersonator.

And the D has to just do enough, basically the opposite othe the last TO game.

Another good write up ...

Here's hoping we learned something from the El Cid game (if not....well ) and we see the O play a FULL game for once. The receivers should have a great game if we remember the mid level passes we used on our last drive against Lil Sammy and keep using Mr. Miller with the screens.

Next week is a matchup between Daniel Boone Inn and Chick-fil-A

Look for another hard fought game, in addition, look for either a fake punt, fake field goal, on-side kick, or all the above. However, in the end:

Appalachian 35

Woofies 31

ASU 31
Wofford 24

Nice write up C.

I'm feeling good about Saturday. EB will get his yards, but nothing that will be a back breaker. We're going to jump on them early and force them to play from behind.

APP - 41
Wofford - 26

I believe App will see quite a few wrinkles from Ayer's Terriers. Look for Weimer to take some snaps away from Kass to try and utilize his speed to get to the outside. This is a tough game to gauge. While I have confidence the offense can move the ball, I'm still skeptical about ASU's D stopping the TO. Hopefully the App can force a couple of turnovers and turn them into points.

I live in SC around Woofies and they are not at all comfortible with this game. My pastor who is a Woffie grad told me "App can beat anyone when they put their mind to it." Translation "We are scared to play App in Boone."

I like Eric B. I hope he wins the Payton. However his team will head back down the Mtn disappointed.
