Re: GA St discussion
I was at the game, and here’s some things I noticed:
1. I take back everything I’ve ever said negatively about our fans- rushing the field, etc.- I’d rather have some hooligans acting foolish than <500 kids in the student section just there for free Chick Fil A.
2. That first 3 quarters was some of the best App football I’ve seen in a long time. App is getting better week over week. I love to see it.
3. App’s in-stadium sound/entertainment team could learn from GSU. They did a great job balancing canned music and the band. Everything could be heard clearly but wasn’t too loud.
4. Someday, someone is going to take over GSU football and basketball and keep all the talent in the greater ATL area at home and absolutely dominate… but not today! GO APP!!
5. I left at the beginning of the 4th, so that’s why they gave up those TDs.

Re: GA St discussion
Thanks for sharing that. We’ll all rest easy tonight, now that we know what led to the 4th quarter’s unpleasantness.MrCraig wrote: ↑Sat Oct 11, 2025 8:50 pmI was at the game, and here’s some things I noticed:

Re: GA St discussion
Hasn’t even flashed once. I’m not sure he develops to anything more than a backup.
Hopefully we keep Kohl and purchase another backup.

Re: GA St discussion
We're running a lot more preseason motion than earlier in the season. Especially Dubinion. Hope he was just precautionary.
Glad Dowell is trusting the TEs more. Cummings reminds me of Coastal's TE Likely, who is in the NFL now.
Dowell said he wanted to establish the run but GSU stacked the box. WRs had their best game as a unit so far.
I'll be very disappointed if App isn't 5-2 this time next week. This is a big one for mental hurdle reasons.

Re: GA St discussion
Still impressed by eleven receivers catching a pass. Makes it hard on a defense. They can’t key in on three or four. Ands it shows out QB is going through reading the pattern. No drops today? Or were there? I can’t remember seeing any (looking at a screen).

Re: GA St discussion
He sure looks like it in an App uniform but interestingly enough he has 5 years between UK and Louisville and currently has more catches for more yards in 6 games at App then in the previous 5 years of P4 play. He had no stats for UK in 2020 and very limited in 2022 which seemed to be a redshirt (medical?) year. His best previous year was 2021 with 14 receptions for 195 yards and 3 tds at Kentucky. I am just looking at his stats and have no idea if he was buried on the depth chart but he is clearly having a breakout season with App. Has he improved that much? Did he just finally get a chance? Is the level of competition making the difference? I have no idea on any of these answers, but he certainly looks good in the black and gold and I am glad we have him.
