It doesn’t really matter from a coaching standpoint. Sloan doesn’t have the guys that he needs to be successful yet.
Not to sure on your analysis. Sloan has brought us bend but don't break mantra and it's improved our defense considerably. Might just surprise y'all come Thursday night.
Aside from Brunson, I’m not sure there is anyone on your starting 11 that could step into our unit and garner significant playing time.
I am really enjoying Appy fans underestimating our defense. Keep it going with your coaches. Kudos

Now that's pretty comical. I think Duck is a hair overrated compared to our corners and would struggle for a starting position with us. The rest of your defense cracking our starting lineup is questionable. Remember Coach Sloan was originally an Eagle long before helping you put defense respectability into your program.

Duck making your starting lineup? Our preseason All-American AND just recently named mid-season All-American? Try to maintain some sense of reasonableness...

Interesting given that we have a top 10 defense nationally in Total Defense and Scoring Defense and that Duck is a preseason and mid season all American.

What is comical? Duck isn’t over rated. NO one throws to his side. Coach Sloan did not put our defense together. He learned it from Woody. You only have Sloan because your coach burned him by welching on a gentleman’s agreement to wait. I understand why you would think that none of our starters could start for Gag State. Your a fan, I get it. So telling you that you are flat wrong and laughing uncontrollably at such an asinine remark would be pointless.

Sloan certainly knows more about App than any other DC not employed by App State, but I don't think we've really shown our offense yet. Yes, we have looked lack luster against Arkansas State and UL but we played very vanilla against both with only a few hints at creativity. I think we did have an "off" game against UL which combined with an excellent effort from their D and a very conservative game plan to create a closer than expected game. I also think we had a bit of that "let down" or "looking ahead" factor that many of us have feared all season. I doubt happens Thursday. I certainly hope it doesn't happen.

I think we have two good Defenses on the field but App has a clear advantage on Offense. Hopefully it plays out that way.

We probably won't be throwing much in this game rushing is our forte, so Duck should be somewhat protected. Woody? How's that working out at Gt. Glad we got Sloan and not Woody.

I’m a little nervous for a few coaching-related reasons. Short week - defending the TO offense is all about discipline and assignment football according to every person whose ever talked about the TO offense. It takes practice to make sure the players know where they need to be. Georgia Southern was effective in the FCS playoffs because they often faced a team who never played such an offense and who had just a few days to scheme against it.

Our coaches have seen it for their entire careers. On the postgame radio show Saturday Sims said Coach Dale Jones “has been scheming against that offense for 30 years.” That’s encouraging. But the players are young. Saturday will be a test for our young squad between the ears.

You literally know nothing about football do you? Woody was not an option for you guys and converting their defense to his style of play takes time. Put the keyboard down and go back to simulating porn with your sister’s Barbie dolls.

Satt mentioned that they had been working on the Ga So game during the extra time leading up to the ULL game. Could be part of the reason we didn't blow out ULL like the others.

Normally I would agree with your assessment, but our defense’s success is predicated on gap integrity, regardless who we are playing. Jones will get them in the right positions to make plays.

Well, we'll now. Duckie is a sensitive subject isn't he? Perhaps not as talented as advertised or compared to our corners. Don't be surprised when the final score is not up to your astronomical imagination. GATA

Agreed. One thing that is encouraging against the TO are the new rules (limitations) on cut blocking.

I think we’ll be playing a lot of defense in the GaSo backfield which typically really disrupts the timing of the TO too.

Yep, agree. Your offense is solid and proven. Ours is still striving for an appropriate identity, but the potential may be better than imaginable. It's only a matter of time before we unleash our offense potency. Hopefully for us we'll start Thursday.

Yeah Duck layed a nice lick there. Highlights tend to do that. This game may boil down to our defenses. Our offense can still be a little finicky, yours pretty consistent. Great matchup.
