I agree. I know it was an FCS team, but we had a lot of young guys play well against Campbell. That should bode well going forward. It never hurts for some starters to get pushed a little.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 12:08 pmEveryone is absolutely entitled to their opinion but folks who keep saying that App hasn’t looked good are really being way too critical especially considering the circumstances. We beat what really isn’t an awful Charlotte team, in crappy weather by 15. We were really in control. Game was played in the rain, with a new staff, after jacked up practices in an empty stadium. A wee bit of slack here. Admittedly we sucked on offense at Marshall but again they ain’t horrible and were at home. Unless many have forgotten we had a crapload of guys out for Campbell who again, isn’t horrible for an FCS team. We crushed them. Would I have liked to seen better results at Marshall? Hell yes. But the sample size is way too limited. A one loss season last year with another conference championship and bowl win and the close win over Charlotte was long forgotten.
Speaking of the young guys, I was impressed with local/Watauga High grad Anderson Castle. And, he wears my favorite number 44, as in 44 Riggo.WASU 93 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 8:46 pmI agree.

Also, after three weeks off, I expect some rust going next Thursday. Between injuries, COVID and days without practice, this game is almost like the first game of the season 2.0
I hate to agree with you. If I were Clark and I knew a large majority of the seniors wanted to return again next year for another senior campaign, I would make it very clear to those players as long as the team was still in the running they would continue playing to try and keep the conference champ streak alive.
