Ik I may have a lot of mistakes in here but I am a 14 year old kid who loves app state with all my heart but here is my prediction


This is of a historic season for the mountaineers after 24 point come back in the Camillia bowl against Ohio to become the first of FBS team to win a bowl game in the first year eligible for a bowl game (The second team was Georgia Southern a few weeks later against Bowling Green) This season ASU will make history with their opponents and schedule first Asu will not be playing a FCS opponent for the first time in their history second of all they will face two power five conference teams for the first time ever and in One of those meetings Miami Florida will make a historic trip to Boone and become the first power five conference member to play at kid brewer stadium (in 2018 wake forest will become the second ever power five school to visit app state) This year ASU will not be playing conference games Against Arkansas state or South Alabama the only two teams besides Georgia southern the only conference teams to beat app/ ASU has an easy conference schedule with a record-breaking crowd expected to see Appalachians take on an ACC opponent Miami Florida at home
I predict ASU will lose only one game to Tennessee and go 12-1 including a bowl win against NIU in the Camellia bowl with Jaylin and Marcus and Terrence back asu is in great shape to have an unstoppable rushing attack with Taylor lamb in as QB and back up Couruso
ASU is in great shape to be able to pass the ball there was not a lot Lost on defense besides the loss of Ronald Blair our wide receive are in OK shape but I expect ASU to run the ball more than they pass it and ASU o-line should be Good Enough to give Taylor lamb time to pass the ball and make holes for marcus and Jaylin and Terrence to run the ball The d line should be able to get plenty of Sacks and get in the back field a lot this year I expect ASU backfield to make a lot of turnovers and pick sixes so this year I expect Appalachian State University to be one of the best team in the nation possibly going to huge bowl game if not to Camellia bowl this Appalachian states team is one of the best teams in years so get ready mountaineers fans it's time to play ball

App state vs Tennessee (Thursday)
First meeting (SEC)
This game will kick off a exciting and historic football season for the mountaineers but I think Tennessee with its best team expected in years to be ready to go against the mountaineers I think this will be a good learning experience for ASU new comers and for the old timers on the team it will be good practice for Miami University game at home
Tennessee Will beat ASU 45 to 21 the mountaineers will put up a fight but it will not be enough to stop the Tennessee Volunteers this Voles team will be just to good to stop but it will be a great game to watch still because of the experience and the talent ASU and Tennessee bring to the table it will be a good one to watch

App state vs ODU
1-0 ASU leads (C-USA)
With a blowout last year 49 to 0 in the first meeting between these two former FCS schools the mountaineers took monarchs to the dumps last year I don't think it will be any different this year with the pro lithic rushing attack for the mountaineers The mountaineers will smothered the monarchs again 52 to 7 this will be a really big win for the mountaineers to prepare them for there next week opponent the Miami Hurricanes but the monarch did not go to a bowl game this past year and people expected for this game last year to be a lot more close and exciting but ASU is just to good to let that happen

App state vs Miami FL
First meeting (ACC)
With this being the first time a power 5 school visits Boone NC I expect a record-breaking crowd to confuse and stun the hurricanes of Miami Florida they have played in many loud and fan enter acting stadiums before but the Rock is no ordinary stadium it is home to one of the nations best teams in home wins and one of the most nicest facility's in the country this is no ordinary team either with there dirty reputation and there reputation for playing dirty this may be a dog fight till the very end but I expect the mountaineers will take the win with the help of their best defense expected in a couple of years the mountaineers will just tear through the hurricanes defense with their prolific offense ASU will take the win 42 to 28 and the mountaineers will improve 2-1 on the season
This will mark one of ASU all time home wins and become known as one of the best games in ASU history at home or overall

App state vs Akron
First meeting (MAC)
With this being the very first mean between these two teams you don't know what to expect but this mountaineers team I bet will be forced to pass against this stingy kangaroo defense like last year against Georgia State or maybe a air attack team and we just run all over them you just don't know unless u study them and have prior knowledge on what they do which I don't but with a great QB like taylor lamb and 3 tremendous RB to lead the way on passing the ball And running the ball I predict ASU to improve to 3-1 on the season and win 35-7 and end non conference play with a 3-1 record next week ASU will take host to Georgia state the very next week on black Saturday at the Rock

App state vs Georgia state
2-0 ASU leads (Sun Belt)
This will be the second year in a row the app State will kick off it's conference games against Georgia State last two years ASU only allowed to panthers to score 3 points and ASU scored 80 points against the Panthers after a slow start for the Georgia State panthers last year they bounce back and went to a bowl game for the first time in their history but lost plus they beat there rivals from statesbore Georgia southern Eagles last year the mountaineers allowed the only points the panthers have scored in the series and the mountaineers had to pass the ball because of Georgia state great job for preparing for app states run game but I expect the Mountaineers to win on black Saturday 35-10 and improve to 4-1 and 1-0 in conference play on the season this will probley be another passing game since last year Georgia state was tight as a drum on the run game

ASU vs ULL
( Wednesday)2-0 ASU leads (Sun Belt)
This game will be unusual with it being on a Wednesday night and After a off year last year I predict ULL to be back in the grove of them old self they are usually one of the sun belts leading teams in the standings and since ASU and GSU have come in it has been a struggle to keep up with the competition with a lot of there players returning this should make for a exciting game but ASU run game will prove to be the game winner and take home the W for the mountaineers ULL did not go to a bowl game last year and ASU leads the all time series 2-0 ASU stunned ULL the first year they played them and just ran all over them last year with a 28-7 win so ULL is looking for revenge so this might be a close game at first but ASU will pull away once the dust settles and ASU will win 38-28 and improve to 5-1 on the season and 2-0 in conference play

App state vs IDAHO
2-0 ASU leads (Sun Belt)
With Idaho leaving me sun belt into 2018 to go back to the FCS ASU will have a chance to get all four win they already have a 2-0 series lead and with 2 more games left in the series I think ASU will take the all time series 4-0 when Idaho leaves the sun belt in 2018 Idaho thought they could last in the sun belt but they can't with the talent the sun belt had Idaho just doesn't have what it takes to keep up the last 2 meetings have been blowouts for the mountaineers so I don't think this one will be any different ASU will win on the ground like the last two meetings have been won on the ground ASU will win 49-14
And improve to 6-1 on the season
And 3-0 in conference play with GSU coming up the next week ASU arch rivals Thai was a good timing call so we could rest our players for the GSU game on a short week the game will be held on a Thursday night in statesbore Georgia

ASU vs Georgia Southern (rivals)
(Thursday) 16-13-1 ASU leads (Sun Belt)
This being on Thursday night for the 3 year in a row is a great deal for both teams even if it is not on rivals weekend it has great chance to get this rivalry well know and get good TV coverage but it going to be a tough one to win this will be a all ground game no doubt both of these team have one of the leading rushing games in the nation and last year GSU tries to pass but they can't they are not a passing team all ASU has to worry about is GSU to run the ball if they try and pass I don't think we will have any trouble intercepting the ball the last two years each team has won on there own turf and won by the score of 31-13 each time so I don't think it will be that far away this year this will be a mountaineers W with the score at 31-24 and the mountaineers will improve to 7-1 on the season and 4-0 in the conference this will be a huge win for the mountaineers this will be there hardest opponent for the SBC this year so with this game out if the way ASU should have easy picking from here

App state vs Texas state
1-0 ASU leads (Sun Belt)
App state will face off for the first time against the Bobcats of Texas state this will not be a very easy win for the mountaineers this bobcats team played close till the final quarter with every team they played in conference this past year this stingy defense and amazing offense will bring challenge to the running game and to the defense for the mountaineers but I think they will blow out the Bobcats still with a pretty nice air attack all ready to go I think the mountaineers will win This game 28-14 and I'm prove to 8-1 on the season and 5-0 in conference this is the game I want to go see these two teams are very well known for. The FCS level and have almost met in a title game in one of the years that ASU went to the title game and won when CCU comes. Up it will be my new favorite game to go see but for now it will be the Texas state bobcats I want to see

App state vs Troy
3-2 ASU leads (Sun Belt)
After a 4 OT win last year this year should be a exciting one with the mountaineers and Trojans expected to be both really good this year this may be one of the closest and heart stopping win this game should be decided in the fourth quarter I can't wait for This game this in my game of the sun belt for the year except for the app state vs Georgia southern game I predict ASU to win 38-30 and improve to 9-1 on the season and 6-0 in conference play
Last year ASU had a pretty good lead but let it slip in the final quarter they went to 4OT till Troy made a mistake on going for it on 4th and goal and Zac Matics made the game winner to win the game for the mountaineers I would have never thought that last year we would have been in a 4ot game against Troy because the provisos year ASU just squashed the Trojans at there house but u never know what will happen in these conference games what will happen and how it will happen

App state vs ULM
2-0 ASU leads (Sun Belt)
This should be no different from the last two years and the war Hawks expected to be the same as the last two years I think this is not much to explain than the mountaineers run game is just going to keep on rolling over people that's all I have To say for this game and the mountaineers will win 49-13 no doubt about it and improve to 10-1 on the year and 7-0 in conference play and all but no doubt win their first SBC trophy the last two yeas against the Warhawks the mountaineers have had a lot of big plays to help smother the Warhawks both games they have played against them ASU leads the all time series 2-0 and will be 3-0 after this game but the first year ASU played at home the first year and it was a close game but they did manage to get bye so this year will be no different go ASU

App state vs NMST
First meeting (Sun Belt)
I predict this will be a easy one to win I'm my mind at NMST may not be the best location to hand the mountaineers the SBC trophy but it will do the mountaineers will end up being one of the nations leading rushing teams and probley get a big bowl game with a record of 11-1 but this may not be a close game but a lot of our backups will see actions on the field to prepare the mountaineers for there trip to a big bowl game the final will be 56-7 ASU and the mountaineers will improve to 11-1 on the season and will win the SBC trophy this is the first netting and first time ASU will be this far besides Idaho but this will be a hot and fun game for our backups ASU has plenty of games this year to rest starters and save them for the big games and for a bowl game this will be one of those games

Bowl game
ASU has a great chance to get a big bowl game and a lot of bids to other bowl games with a sweep of the conference and 1 big win Against Miami and hanging with Tennessee ASU should get in the top 25 pole and get a bowl game that should please every ASU fan but there is a down side to the big bowl games ASU will not likely play in the south if they get a big bowl game they will most likely play in the Midwest
Or the west part of the country ASU though will still have a couple of fans even if it is in the Midwest but I think ASU best bet is to try and get a big bowl game in the south if not go either to the camellia bowl or cure bowl I think ASU would enjoy going to a new bowl game and have a new experience for the old players I think the cure bowl would be a awesome game to go to and hopefully if app state does go to a smaller bowl game they would get paired with a good opponent like NIU or West Virginia but no matter what ASU will have a great bowl game and will win no other way to explain it it about time mountaineer fans to go bowling for a bowl game

I like your optimism but I would be a bit careful on your generous use of the word "easy". I don't think many of our wins this year will come easy.

14 point victory over Miami and App scoring 42 on them? That's very optimistic.

Good bit of work went into this. Pretty good considering you're only 14, and after all it is YOUR opinion. Wish we had more of YOU! Good job!!!

Nice review Jacob. We all are looking forward to another successful season, here's my take (not near as analytical, in a nutshell): The Apps are locked and loaded this coming season, unless the wheels come completely off (which I don't see happening) I see a 10-2 or 9-3 regular season. Some games in "question" are: of course Tennessee, Miami (I really don't know what the expect there), and possibly The Gum Roots. In addition, just after Miami we have Akron (not too sure how that will factor in). Anyway, we all have a lot to look forward to. In the mean time, have a great summer and Go Apps!!!

Forget Tennessee and Miami. Akron and ODU will not be easy test. ODU is a young team that picked up pace towards the end of last year and Akron is coming off their best season in a long time (at their place none the less). If we aren't healthy or miss plays we could start 0-4/1-3, but 2-2 is more realistic.

Good write up though.

Good point. Although I disagree with much of his optimism, I doubt many of us could have analyzed a football season as well as he did when were 14.

9-3 reg season to me. Just can't believe we will be able to handle Miami, especially early in the season with many WR changes and important loss in Def.

And we seem to lose a conf game when we all believe they should win. May be GaSo this year.

Jakob, you have a conversational writing style that will work well in this business, if you decide to pursuit it (that said, don't). In fact, if you proofread, clean up some stylistic inconsistencies and take out the "I's" and "thinks" etc., you have a piece worthy of publication.

I respect the kid's post, like I do anyone that posts on here. Because he is a 14 year old child, it does not and will not stop me from agreeing or disagreeing. I will give him credit for taking time to put this together though, as I do for the videos he brings to the board.

May the season play out exactly as you have predicted at every turn!

And good news - there aren't too many bowl games in the Midwest. Apparently for some reason fans don't care to spend December in Ohio. ;-)

I'm thinking 9-3 will be the most likely outcome next season.

I'm hoping for a few surprises though!
