That feeling probably has yet to wear off from the last time. The feeling of another game ending on the game’s final play. Luckily this time it was not a kick that was the final play, but that could have been. Bentlee Critcher’s field goal attempt was just wide enough to cause speculation and an instant replay booth review. Overtime was not friendly for the Mountaineers. Liberty scored easily like they had all afternoon long. The Mountaineers ran for a big gain on their first play and then decided the test the middle of the field at an intermediate distance for the first time all game. Finally, the game did end on the last play, and those who were remaining in the stands, once again left wondering what had happened. Used to be that many Appalachian football games were over at halftime. Fans were leaving Kidd Brewer Stadium because it was the Mountaineers who were rolling. Now fans leave when the Mountaineers are getting pummeled or because a little bit of drizzle is just enough of an excuse. Now its just the diehards who stick it out. The ones who are so anxious to see the next victory, whenever it may come. A very young offense is now turning the ball over at bad times which does not mix well with a defense that barely gets in the way of opposing offenses. The Mountaineer offense will either get left behind or keep up with opposing teams. Unfortunately, there has not been much “keeping up” this season. At the midpoint of the season, the Mountaineers have regressed from their 1-2 mark at the quarter pole. Without a win this weekend, the Mountaineers will match a losing streak not seen since 1977, which is older than then the average age of an Appalachian alum. A win is desperately needed before things really get ugly on the mountain.

Based on these scores you guys should bet heavy Troy this week. I think over is the play here.

Hoping, against all evidence to the contrary, that this is the week we put it together and win our first fbs conference game, but I can't even convince myself yet. Go Apps, make a believer out of me.

[SpeedkingATL]

Only prediction I will make is that many of the ATL Apps will be there to help the boys all we can. Go Apps!

ASU should stay in this game. For some reason, I think we will play better defensively this week. Hopefully Boggs will be a spark. Like others though, I don't have confidence yet that we will make plays when needed to pull out the W.

I've tried to talk myself into a win tomorrow, but just can't. They appear to have righted the ship vs ULM and NMSU. That rFr. DE will likely bring it, hope our LT is ready.

Good thing Lamm is our LT and one of the best in the Sun Belt.
