Moving Forward
Crunch time people. Three weeks and three tough games. We need two wins to become bowl eligible. I think we can beat ODU, but concerned about the other two.
First up Marshall. Tough old rivalry. Statistically our offense is better, but their defense is better. Going to be hard to do in West Virginia. I think they are going to be physical on the line of scrimmage and pound us into submission. If we are going to throw the ball, we need to have some blocking schemes ready and will probably need some excellent play from our backs and tight ends as well as our linemen. Hope we know where their weaknesses are and plan to exploit them.... Need to limit turnovers and penalties.....

Re: Moving Forward
We owe them 1.
I really hope it doesn’t end up like 9-8. They’ve had some really odd scoring games

Re: Moving Forward
I was not very inspired listening to Clark's presser today. He looked defeated, tired and embarrassed. Rain should not be a factor but never know. They can't throw the ball consistently but have a mobile QB and great run game. This will either be a close low-scoring game or a blowout if the last wheel officially comes off for the defense. We'll see what happens, but not confident in anything anymore besides a slow start.

Re: Moving Forward
He's tired because he hasn't slept since Thursday. He's coaching the o line and head coach duties. Same thing he had to do leading up to Ga St.
He's certainly not defeated and is doing anything and everything in his power to make sure we right the ship.

Re: Moving Forward
Sounds like we will be replacing another OL coach at the end of the season. Guessing Clark as completely lost faith if he is coaching the position again.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 3:26 pmHe's tired because he hasn't slept since Thursday.

Re: Moving Forward
This all doesn't seem good. He's coaching the OL for the second time and yet Geep Wade is still the OL coach?AppStateNews wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 3:26 pmHe's tired because he hasn't slept since Thursday. He's coaching the o line and head coach duties. Same thing he had to do leading up to Ga St.

Clark said during Monday's presser that Barbay and the offensive staff stayed late Sunday coming up with the Marshall gameplan. It seems like they're all working themselves to the bone, which is not good IMO.

Re: Moving Forward
I think it's just more helping out than taking it over completely...

Re: Moving Forward
Or he realizes that's the reason our offense is struggling and wants to fix it... More like he's seeing the boat take on water and he has the expertise to fix it before it sinks.

Re: Moving Forward
Hope to see everyone up at Marshall. I excited about this one. The season hasn't played out the way we would have liked but these next 3 games are crucial from a building standpoint for everyone involved. I'm a newbie of a fan compared to most of you on here. I'm telling you good things will happen IF everyone involved with the team grows from this season. This fanbase is passionate (like most sometimes too much) Let the rest of the season play out then come back in 3 or 4 weeks and have at it. This next month or so will so what direction this program is going in. For some reason (just a feeling) I feel tough lessons are being learned from the coaching staff to the players. I also feel this is the time players need to step up. ( the team needs more leadership besides CB) If you have seen if please let me know cause i have not. Yes I understand there are things that need to be corrected and addressed but still think the futures bright.

Re: Moving Forward
I started to post this last Monday afternoon. As I viewed the replay of SC's comments I thought he was dead tired, nervous as a cat and very, very worried about Coastal. You can tell when he's nervous as he has a slight slur to his speech and he runs some words/sentences almost together. He also gets an occasional expression ON his face that some might describe as "deer in the headlights."ASUFan4863 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 3:15 pmI was not very inspired listening to Clark's presser today.

Winning two of their last three is a real loooong reach, I fear.

Re: Moving Forward
I noticed a GaSo fan that said the App offense versus Coastal looks a lot like their "gun option" offense under Lunsford. Of course, Geep Wade was the GaSo OL coach last season. Why did Clark hire him?

Re: Moving Forward
I think their offense plays into the hands of our defense. We've got a good DL for the run and won't have to worry about pass rush as much. Like GaSt, a QB that isn't very accurate will help out our DBs a lot and hide the weakness of our defense. If offense can be balanced, and the OL hold up, I feel good about the game this weekend.

Re: Moving Forward
Did he just mean that because our O line looked bad? Because otherwise that doesn’t make sense. We don’t run very many option plays at all.

Re: Moving Forward
Nothing from the press conference was encouraging, from my standpoint.Frankly it was disturbing as I read him.I truly like the guy.Apparently we differ on the definition of success , based on his comments today.
