App St. and Wofford are absolutely tearing it up in the first quarter tonight. Tied 14-14. On ESPN2

App State is a machine.

Re: other FCS games 11/1

pretty good showing by app state on national TV. 30,000+ fans in the stadium and putting up 70 pts against #3

Re: other FCS games 11/1

They're good.

Now, on to more important business. This is the biggest game of our year.

Re: other FCS games 11/1

Is App State really that good, I know they are good but to hang 70 on #3, or is Wofford that overrated?

Re: other FCS games 11/1

An interesting thing about that game is ASU did not change their offense after getting up by 10. They played the same way that got them there. Interesting to see teams do that. Confidence in the players?

Re: other FCS games 11/1

Or driving the nail in other teams coffins in order to play for the playoffs? At this point the A-holes at Appy are trying to prove to the rest of the world that no one can beat them any more, creating "fear" for anyone slated to play them in the post-season. I find it disgusting that teams do this. Would I love to see Farley put a thumping on team? Sure. But Farley always makes sure that we rotate players and, I believe, has never unnecessarily driven up the score like that. It's the difference between class and quality as compared to playing football in North Carolina.

Re: other FCS games 11/1

Yes, DomeRanger, it would appear that Appy unclassily ran up the score last night.

But there is a happy medium between running up the score like Appy, and getting overly-conservative with a small lead like UNI sometimes has a tendancy to do.

Re: other FCS games 11/1

Exactly. 70-24 is a little much, but then Wofford defeated Elon 55-20. I'm not in favor of running it up and Farley never does it, even against the Indiana States of the world, but turning a two touchdown lead into a close game shouldn't be part of the game plan.

Re: other FCS games 11/1

I'm not saying that I LIKED what happened last week. I've got nothing against a three touchdown lead. I just can not stand it when a team beats on another one like a red-headed stepchild and doesn't stop in order to send a message to everyone else out there. Hey, if we get three touchdowns up on InSt, pull our starters and continue to score at will, that's just life. But playing the A squad against St. Mary's for the Blind is a bit much.

Re: other FCS games 11/1

Well, I'm not in favor of running up the score to embarass an opponent, but I'm sure putting up 70 points earns a lot of "style" points before the playoff pairings. And, I do to a certain extent agree with the cliche "If you don't want them to score, than stop them on defense".

Is Wofford a paper tiger?

Re: other FCS games 11/1

Appy had the first team DEF in until about 5 minutes left int he game. Salt in the wound.

Appy had 30K for the game - they will get a home game with the bid package. Now they are playing for a seed.
