We looked like a modern day football team. We moved before the snap on defense (a bunch!!!) to put a little confusion on the opposing team. Last year we presented our defense and stood still as they adjusted their play call......DROVE ME CRAZY.

We had a designed quarterback run play....this is big. Quarterbacks have to run to win in college football. It was a shotgun spread 5 wide receivers, but it was a quarterback run all the way. Made my day.

The offense was fun to watch. Plays going all over the place.

We threw the ball to the running back out of the back field.

All of these point to a well coached team. Coaches are going to win games in this new college football era and I think we are on to something. GREAT JOB COACH LOGGAINS. Great Job AD Gillin. Great Job AppNation showing up and being loud.

p.s. we should not sign another game in Panthers stadium without a big payday. 90/ticket to a huge amount of App Fans. They need us.

I felt the exact same way with how we did not adjust. I never understood how anyone who truly knows football and how things work could make excuses for what was happening last year. I just wish some folks would have been more vocal about our issues last year because it should not have even been a split opinion on a change needing to be made. As time goes on I think those who did not think a change needed to happen and laughed at the Loggains hire might realize their opinions aged very poorly.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. I could not and still don't understand how a very small but vocal minority were ok with the direction the program was heading.

Well I'm going to go ahead and put the cart before the horse.....how are we going to keep Coach Dlo? What I saw last night was just awesome. I felt like we could compete with anyone. It didn't feel like I was watching Boone Community College play. Night and day! I LOVE IT!

I give Loggains a lot of credit but beyond his coaching I got a feeling that he made some outstanding hires that are helping him a ton, which is a big part of being a head coach. I believe the Clyde Christensen, Kevin Higgins, and Bob Sanders hires in the roles we have them are paying off big time. DJ did very well in his debut and made me very proud of him as well!

I wanted to give Shawn the benefit of doubt, because he did have to deal with some extraordinary unusual circumstances early on in his tenure. I think many of us had hope that issues had been addressed with our solid finish to the 2023 season, but it fell apart quickly last year. It's too bad it ended that way for an alum, but there was no way to defend the results two of the last three seasons.

Time to look forward though!

Why torture yourself on this? We are 1-0 and got a long way to go before this happens. If we end up 6-6 or 7-5 people who spent time worrying about this will feel dumb for it haha. If we start the year 6-0 then I will definitely allow this to creep into my mind. All I am worried about now is staying healthy and beating Lindenwood like a drum next weekend. lol

I understand that thought in 2023 but I was more talking about the folks who still wanted to keep the staff late in 2024. It was clear by the South Alabama that we had to make a change. He had to deal with a lot of unusual circumstances but so did everyone else. It is how you deal with them and our staff did not do it. Shawn's biggest problem was the hires. I think Loggains cleaned out all the bad hires that Shawn made and he has made some terrific ones. Definitely looking forward. Hopefully we can clean up a lot of stuff and get a look at everyone on roster next weekend because things are about to get real in the following 3 games. Southern Miss is going to be a quality opponent for us.

Man you really got to bring up things that ruin a mood today don't you? Haha. Have you checked the UCF board?

[MrCraig]

With the high school career he had, how did Barnes end up at Austin Peay?

Lindenwood counts toward bowl eligibility?

Yes, Lindenwood is an FCS school, and you can count 1 FCS win toward bowl eligibility. Hopefully, we are sitting on a lot more than 6 wins at the end of the season.

I’ll let you know on 10/5 just how much this team improved. UNCC is likely one of the worst three teams we’ll face this year.

That is how I feel. All we know is that we look better coached but we still have a lot of things to clean up. It would be crazy to talk playoffs, SBC title, losing Loggains because he is going to have a huge year, etc at this point. Too much we don't know. Could we be a top 25 team this year? Sure. It is just way too early to even know because, like you said, Charlotte is one of the 3-4 worst teams we will play.

Should know a lot more in 2 weeks vs So Miss (Marsha South).

Call me crazy. Heck, I have been waiting to see a well-coached team for too long, so I am going all in after just one game against a terrible opponent. And the best part is that I get to keep these over inflated views for a least another week because we will dominate next week.

Lindenwood counts toward bowl eligibility?

They have been full FCS since 23-24 so I see no reason why not? I have not heard about a change in the rules. OVC is a full FCS scholly conference the last I heard.

Florida is playing Long Island University from the NEC. The NEC at one time was low on scholly count but I think that changes a few years ago. No way Florida would play LIU unless it counted.

I try to keep a level head because I don't want to get grey hair too soon. We made a lot of errors that would have gotten us beat if we played someone good. The biggest thing I take from the game is that from a speed and talent standpoint we showed to be superior so if we can clean up some things we have a chance to be good.

They do indeed count. There are a ton of schools like LIU, Lindenwood, etc who use to be D2 5-15 years ago that are now FCS. Tarleton State is one of them but they beat Army and they will be a school we would want, like I was saying over the summer. I think the American should have invited them over Charlotte to be honest.

Next HC is already on staff. Mark it down here, next coach is HBC DJ Smith!
