Decision Announcements

[ukappfan]

I was hoping Hennigan would be staying since he was hampered for most of the season. With him, Sutton and the up and coming WRs it would be a fun year.

[WVAPPeer]

Isn't this the group who lives together?

[biggie]

I’m worried about the uncertainty at QB for any WR coming back. Hope they have a chance at a good year.

[T-Dog]

Huesman's IG post makes it seems like he's not coming back.

And for the hundredth time, no one knows who will be starting QB next season.

[Rekdiver]

I thought Hennigan might hit the portal

[The Rock]

I thought Hennigan might hit the portal

I would be surprised if he did. I think he likes App and is close to home. I think if he chose another year it would be at App.

I could see. Him hit the Portal for the right team.

Corey will return.

huge. He is a beast. Let's go Mountaineers!

He is an incredible talent. Very underutilized under Drink's tenure and sparingly under Satts run heavy offense. Depending on who is under center, don't be shocked to see one of the best WR performances we have seen from an App player next year.

Serious question: What from the passing game this year did you see that would lead you to believe next year a WR playing in the same system will have unprecedented success?

Not so much from a scheme, but with uncertainty at QB, I am a little concerned. We do have some potential talent at WR, but QB situation is yet to be determined

N-O-T-H-I-N-G that's the OC passing scheme, Nothing absolutely nothing, what, what?

[AppSt94]

My guess is that we will start the season with quick slants and passes to the flat. We need to keep the defense off of the new QB. I don’t expect a great deal of vertical passes except in a play action pass scenario.

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Zac and Jacob are great, but with the wide receivers coming back, if Clark wasn’t confident in the next man up, seems he could have made a strong push for Zac or Jacob to come back. We are going to have to move on from them eventually and what better situation for a new QB to be brought in than to be throwing to Sutton and company with a stable of backs for support. Keeping Zac another year could cost us a lost portal guy who could be the next “the Man”. I wish Zac had unlimited eligibility but he is ready to move on and I wish him well.

[AppSt94]

I believe the plan is for a one year grad transfer.

I'm privy to some information that would validate what another poster said in noting that this was not a full Petersen offense. Look at what his scheme has been in other places, he is a heavy QB-centric guy, but we didn't throw the ball a ton this year. Another thing to note- Drink was a heavy QB-centric guy as well, but he also limited our air yards. Coincidence?

Drink averages 10 more passing attempts per game now at Mizzou (36 att/game) and average almost 12 more (38 att/ game) at NC State.

Petersen was similar, averaging over 30 att/game at LaTech and averaging over 40 att/game at ECU.

You may have the heart of a race car driver, but if all you have is a Toyota Corrola, you're not opening that thing up to 200 mph on the road by your house, you're likely to wrap that thing around a tree.

Well i don’t think it is a coincidence, for reasons lost on me, App messages boards would be burnt down if we had a pass-happy offense. And Gillin has seemed determined to keep a run-dominant offense in Boone. I remember the complaints about Drink when he was hired, and he ran a pretty balanced offense at both NCSU and Boise). The announcers even made reference to the “Appalachian Offense” yesterday, which i interpret to be run heavy. And that’s where the comment about it not being really Petersens offense came from, they said that on the broadcast as well.

So are you saying Clark is finally going to open up the offense and bring App State into the 2020’s as far as college offense goes? I hope that’s what you’re saying.

Also it sounds like you’re hinting that Zac may have been a reason that the offense has been so run dominant. I wouldn’t come on here and criticize a kid who won 32 games as a starter here, but it’s always been my opinion that Zac just wasn’t a pure passer and that limits some of what the offense can do, maybe especially this year.

Serious question. How much of Petersen's passing attempts per game were because they were playing from behind. I was thinking his stops at La Tech and ECU were down times in his career highlights. Sorry, just too lazy to look it up. Hoping he just favors the pass a little more than this year.

Everyone points to his wins while also acknowledging that we don’t throw the ball.

It’s almost like Zacs wins can be attributed to NFL caliber running backs dominating games.

I am not necessarily opposed to shifting a bit more toward an even run/pass balance. But does it give you pause at all that App State has been better over the past six years than virtually all the G5 programs who run your preferred offense?

Your passing game needs to be a threat to run. Notice that for the last few weeks the defense has stacked the box. They’re not scared of our passing game and I don’t blame them.
