In the past, a trip to the beach was a reason to celebrate. Whether it be a family vacation, a senior week or a church youth group trip. You went to celebrate something as a reward for working hard on a project, a semester of school or to just get away from the weekly grind and recharge your batteries for a couple days. That was what some App State fans got to enjoy on their “beach trip” in 2018. Fast forward two years and the vacation has quickly turned into a business trip. Not many saw this coming. Coastal has become the darling of America in an otherwise gloomy time of our nation’s history. Quickly their antics and celebrations became something to help people forget what ails them. But, eventually the fun ends. The ferris wheel stops turning, the buffet runs out of popcorn shrimp, and the 18th hole looms large in the distance. The credit card bill comes at the end of the month and its time to pay for all the fun you have had for the last few weeks. Hopefully, you didn’t exceed your limit.

They get closer, but still no cigar.

I can’t feel good about this with the injuries and lack of offense last week. Hope I’m horribly wrong.

Coaching staff reads this board, pulls out all the stops and goes deep into the playbook, Zac plays like we know he can, and People’s puts on a show.

What I expect is Zac plays but takes a nasty hit and is carted off and they beat us in a close one.

What I hope is that Zac is fine or Huesman throws the ball well and we open up the offense. Peoples goes off and we win by 2 scores:

CCUs magical season ends with a can of whoopass thanks to an invigorated offense and the LoB ruining McCall's afternoon.

More worried about every game after this one.

With the injuries and Sutton gone for the year....

They haven’t played a defense like this yet and our offense finally opens up for this long haul at the end of the season.

I try to pick honestly, and honestly I just don't think we've got enough in the tank (or maybe more accurately, playbook) to hang with Coastal for 4 full quarters right now, at their place. I, like many of you, hope I'm wrong, and as is usual when this rarity of picking come up, my heart is cussing out my head right now for this prediction...

Coastal, you are not in Kansas anymore.

Last week was tough to watch offensively knowing that we can do much better, hope some adjusting has been done for this week, if not there is going to be a new sheriff in town. Minus giving up a first drive score as is customary this season, our defense will provide a tough challenge to their offense. Don't like the thought of losing to this bunch. I remember they were upstart going to beat us when they came to Boone in 2005, Richie Williams had them down 24-7 at the half.

Maybe the team will be motivated by the challenge and play like we did against Arky St and we win?
