Wilson by far the better of the two
Edit. Even after that INT lol
It happens. Still like to see him get the bulk of play going forward. Has the tools.

And, once again, another game, turnover after turnover. This team doesn’t know how to win, the talent is there, but………

Well at least we are still able to move the ball against this team, even with a gutted roster. Too bad we continue to throw interceptions and make penalties, you know, App State 2025 football.

And that’s why he wasn’t playing qb.
Had a wide open RPO run for a first down.
Throws a jump ball to a RB with 0 receptions in his career.
Take what is in front of you guys!
I'll give the kid some grace. Gillon has taking snaps all year as a QB and Wilson still looks lime he has the better tools. Decision making is sure to be suspect with lack of reps.

Maybe we can get a D score to keep it closer.

Yeah, Wilson has been in the DB room all year and still looks better to my eyes.

That’s tough. Stroman was open for a TD, and Trigg had the 1st. Gave it to the one guy we couldn’t.

Just keep running. The OL looks great.

So far we have left 17 points on the field. Same song all year long.

Not disagreeing the decision was poor, but some of it is too be expected given his lack of run. Still think Wilson is the better option.

Don't understand why a coach who wants a dual threat QB completely ignored the one on the team and moved him to DB. He may not have all the tools, but it isn't like we had Johnny Unitas out there all year. Can't convince me that we couldn't have a several packages for Wilson throughout the year.

Odd to feel like the Stink of old, hate getting into passing situations.

But good pass and catch there.

Nice throw by Gillan to Stroman for big first down.
