Insight on App State?

[dycane]

Acc refs?

 

[F-MarioCristobal]

They run a lot of option, good practice for GT.

Not sure how much option they run. The tailback Cox has 248 yards rushing, and their QB has 32. Cox also has their only receiving TD. Stop him and we win the game.

The triple option is a lot different than a spread option

agree with this however always good for our players to get experience dealing with ball carrier- pitch man situation as that will transition us well into GT

Agreed. It's still a good test especially for the young and inexperienced LBs to test their discipline and preparation habits.

I have no concern whatsoever that they'll have any problems with App State.

Speaking of VT.

That is the most mentally weak VT team I think I've ever seen in the past decade.

One fumble and the entire team calls it a day.

Not a good sign for Fuentes

That's some Al Golden bull excuse. They are not good. They got out to a lucky start, Tenn is just way better than they are. Nothing to do with Fumbling

Basically 1 good corner, 1 good LB, 1 good DL. Good RB, quality OL, well coached team.

Kaaya on Saturday was still as good of a passer as Dobbs. Anything better than FAU and Kaaya will have 400 and 4 TDs. We can run all over them. Our run D is way better than UT from what I've seen thus far.

Their QB can't throw enough to hurt us, so I expect us to run the jail break attack again like FAU. They may neutralize us with quick screens/bubble screens, if we tackle well in the secondary that's no problem.

I expect us to score about like FAU 35-45 points, possibly more depending on how quick they start cramping up, and hold them to 14 or less. We probably have about 15 tfl.

Contradiction.

Cox had over 100 yards against Clemson last season (Derrick Henry was the only other one to top 100 yards) and went for about 130 on Tennessee with close to 40 yards receiving. App will play keep away from Miami and as long as there are no turnovers, I expect this to be close.

Miami's best bet is to run wide sets with clearing routes to get a receiver one on one with an OLB to the strong side of the formation.

You beat these teams by dominating them at the line of scrimmage. If we come out trying a bunch of throws like we did against FAU we will have problems. Our OL is massive. We need to line up and go forward. I think we'll be fine harassing their QB

While size is helpful, it isn't everything. You should be able to find some defensive highlights from the UTk game. DE splits a double team, sheds Hurd and sacks Dobbs on the run. He was under fire almost every time he dropped back to pass which is what led to his poor numbers. I'm sure Richt will be a little smarter about this game than the fans. Get into a running match and you lose the one true advantage you have and that is skill players on the outside.

Based on this film, they don't have a legitimate playmaker on the outside & our speed on the DLine will give them problems.

Only way we lose is if Kaaya has another bad game, which I highly doubt will happen.

We'll open up the playbook and stretch the field, they don't have one defender who can cover Njoku or Herndon & their Dline is undersized, which means Walton & Yearby will eat.

Also, they haven't beaten a Power 5 team in 9 years, they simply don't have enough talent to keep up.

The threat of App State boils down to two moments in football history and a national desire for an upset. That line is preying on dumb bettors.

Since the Michigan win, App hasn't beaten a P5 school, iirc. Couple that with a game against a timid and overrated Tennessee squad that put everyone in their Michigan game feelz, and you have a host of presumption with very little substance behind it. We have better athletes at every single position, and a better, more experienced coaching staff.

But you say, "This is the biggest game in Appalachian State history, Indy! That place will be packed!" Yeah. That stadium is going to be as loud as a petting zoo on Churches Get in Free Day. Its technically bigger than an elite Texas High School stadium. It's not going to be Lane, or Doak, or even the Bucket.

We'll beat them. It won't be pretty the whole way through and we won't feel good all the time, but we are the better team without question.

If you keep saying your OLB run 4.5s them how is that a good matchup?

We don't need to match up on an OLB, your corners and safeties are bad. Our TEs will be a mismatch for anyone on your defense. (If Njoku can catch the ball)

App state matches up a lot better against UTs spread (what app state runs and practices against everyday, and plays every week in the sunbelt) than they matchup vs a pro style with an NFL QB

So you just gonna forget about the WR from Booker T??

 

[F-MarioCristobal]

I can't believe I'm arguing with an App State fan. I know they're a good program and have played spoiler a few times. I know we aren't what we used to be, but we haven't fallen as far as some seem to think.

I'll be there and I'll enjoy a blowout and head home. I'm glad we're playing this close to my house but I hope we beat them so bad to justify the fact that we should never be playing at a school like App State again

 

[Notsince1985]

A couple of things here.

1. Where the **** do they put the extra 8,000+ people?
2. There are going to be a lot of Miami fans. We got 2,500 tickets, and I know a lot of Miami fans who did not get tickets through the school.

The Mountaineers play to overflow crowds on a regular basis at 23,150-seat Kidd-Brewer Stadium, where they are 77-15 in their last 92 games. The local attendance record of 31,528 is guaranteed to fall Saturday. The game has been sold-out for weeks, with a few tickets remaining on StubHub starting at $175. That’s about four times the value of a normal App State ticket.


Per the game contract signed last Nov. 18, the ACC will select the on-field and replay officials. Miami gets 500 complimentary tickets and 1,500 for sale. According to UM, it actually received 2,500 tickets.

Lmao @ you trolling thinking Hopkins is a legitimate playmaker...

Yeah 12 catches in 2 years for less than 100yds is absolutely electrifying...

You're hilarious Vern, I know you're probably sacrificing chickens & goats to the Gods hoping we lose just you can say I told you so, smh.

Speaking of VT.

That is the most mentally weak VT team I think I've ever seen in the past decade.

One fumble and the entire team calls it a day.

Not a good sign for Fuentes

That's some Al Golden bull excuse. They are not good. They got out to a lucky start, Tenn is just way better than they are. Nothing to do with Fumbling

Did you even watch the game? Nothing to do with fumbling? How bout fumbling FIVE times?

Miami's offensive line better show the **** up. That's the one match up that bothers me. I think the rest of the match ups are easily in Miami's favor. That's with me expecting Kaaya to snap out of his funk and start hitting his targets.

 

[TreOFive]

I dont have a labia so I am not worried about this game. just how I was not worried at half time vs FAU

 

[Canedog]

Alex Gall ready to ball out.

Seems like there isn't enough actual football talk on here these days. I'm fully aware trolls may over take this thread but This will be our first game where the outcome isn't pre determined and wanna see what kinda team we are going against.

Any posters on here in the know about app state and their tendencies? What kind of formations they run and at what tempo

They went 11-2 last year and should have beaten a Tennessee team two weeks ago that just handled VT last night (although football changes weekly so those are probably independent)

We are more talented and I think a big thing people are forgetting is that we haven't shown our playbook fully yet and richt hasn't called plays since '06 so I doubt app has much film to prepare themselves on

Can't imagine they have the defensive front to deal with our run game the way it's worked so far this year especially with Marquez leading the way

I'll post some Video from their games after while but just wanted to see what people are expecting will be our challenges if any

They love to run the ball and use misdirection. Great warmup game for GT. Horrible passing team. We are not losing this game! Norton & Mac will have huge games.

Yeesh dude you're gonna be in for a rude awakening.
