I'm not going to be a pessimist this week. This team will give their all to be conference champions. One game at a time, takin care of business. Focus, intensity, no letdowns.......

Not going to throw out a score, but I believe the Apps will take care of business and Chatty will take down Wofford to give the ASU the auto bid. Furman will always be tough, but after looking at Big C's breakdown their offense has struggled mightly aside from the Coastal game. This should be a good matchup for our banged up defense. A win should give us two bye weeks to rest and heal up.

TSN picks/previews, both pick us, one picks Chatty the other Woff.

"Furman Paladins (3-6, 2-4 SoCon) at No. 12 Appalachian State Mountaineers (7-3, 5-2), 3:30 p.m. (ESPN3.com)

Series record: Furman leads, 22-17-3

Last meeting: Furman 20, Appalachian State 10 (Nov. 5, 2011)

What to know: Just when Appalachian State looked like it was out of the Southern Conference race, the tide turned after a critical 31-28 victory at Georgia Southern last week. Because Samford defeated Wofford, App State can now clinch a share of the SoCon title with a win this week versus struggling Furman.

Quarterback Jamal Jackson passed for a career-high 383 yards and three touchdowns versus GSU and seems to be fine after a knee injury the previous week against Western Carolina. Freshman receiver Sean Price also set a career highs with seven receptions for 231 yards (a school record for freshmen). The Mountaineers didn't play great on defense, but they came up with huge stops late in the game to steal a road victory.

Furman comes into the game giving up 393 yards per game, which is actually better than ASU's 424 yards per game, but the Paladins rank last in the SoCon in scoring with 24 points per contest. Running back Jerodis Williams averages 112 yards per game on the ground and he ranks No. 3 in the conference in rushing. He has already run for 1,008 yards and scored 10 touchdowns this season.

The Mountaineers understand what's at stake and want to finish strong, especially because this is the team's last game of the regular season.

Prediction: Appalachian State 35, Furman 25"

[moehler]

Furman's offense centers arounnd their running back, stop him, and they are in alot of trouble. They would love more than anything to hand the ball to him 25 times, eat up the clock and keep our offense off the field, and then hit a long pass on a play action fake. Just hope we do not get up a couple of scores, and then go into that conservative offensive crap we tend to do when we get leads

We didn't look tired last week.

My buddy just tweeted this little photoshop job.

Thought it would make a good phone wallpaper for everyone for the next 24 hours

THANKS! Very cool! You can almost hear Darth Vader's heavy breathing! I just put it up on my computer here at work on campus.

Finally utilizing our passing game: 38

Troy Sanders was defensive player of the week: 17

[Cincy App]

Furman is better than their record and always plays us tough. Great win by ASU in Gnat Country but we need to keep momentum this week. ASU's passing attack should be the difference in the game. Here's to 8-3 and 2 weekends off:

ASU 37
Furman 23
