Just watched all of their offensive plays v. Tenn
Didn't look like they trust their QB to throw much
They rely heavily on their run game (Cox is a good RB...very difficult to tackle)
They also run a lot of "gimmicky" stuff (sweeps/end arounds, option, zone read, screens, etc...)
Reminds me a bit of the WVU Pat White offense, except they are far less athletic/talented (obviously)
Our LB/DB units need to have a **** of a game because their offense could potentially be a major pain in the *** to defend
However, I do see us taking care of business and coming out of Boone with the W
I strongly suspect that we will see blitz packages that this App Store QB has never seen before. Diaz and Kool, I am quite sure, will not only want to establish dominance at the LOS, but will want to Meet at the QB as often as possible in the First Half.
They're going to see more pressure than FAU saw I can promise you that. FAU has a respectable passing game with athletes on the outside that can at least matchup to us with speed. App State doesn't.
We'll be in their backfield all day, they'll have 2-3 ypc, and their QBs toughness will be tested when Willis knocks the dog **** out of him a few times. I bet he doesn't finish the game. I wouldn't care if we took an unnecessary roughness early in the game just to hit him in the mouth and send a message that if they throw, they're gonna pay.
