"Strong safety Troy Sanders of Appalachian State planned to watch video of last week's 52-28 loss to The Citadel once more before tonight's game at Chattanooga.

"I'll use it as motivation, a reminder for me and my teammates not to play like that again," Sanders said. "Then it's history. We'll move on and go play."

Excellent!!

"ASU will have a bit more manpower than it did last Saturday. Cornerback Demetrius McCray (head injury) returned to practice Wednesday, cornerback Rodger Walker (illness) probably will play for the first time this season, running back Rod Chisholm (hand) might play, and defensive end Davante Harris (foot) will play. Defensive back Jamill Lott and receiver Sean Price are back after serving suspensions for violating team rules."

Most Excellent!!

I'm feeling better about this game minute by minute. Go Apps!!!!

Glad to have all these guys back, but really don't think it would have mattered against The Citadel.

We 'may' have been able to stretch the field a bit more with Price on the field on offense.

In regards to the D last week. I was listening to Steve Logan yesterday here in Raleigh on the Fan (he's great, btw). He said in regards to the triple option - when you have people on defense who leave their assignment to try and go for the tackle or big hit when they are supposed 'key' on a specific player (pitch man for example) you will lose everytime. He said ECU used to practice against the scout team when prepping for t.o. WITHOUT the football so that everyone learned their individual assignments.

Kind of consistent with Brownie's comments on Mountaineer talk on Thursday - he said he felt like 1 or 2 guys were not dialed in to their assignments on virtually every play. That's where I still scratch my head. I get being youth being lost - but no half time adjustment.

Anyway water under the bridge - Beat UTC!
