Just a different perspective, we have a top 10 win, a win over a good Troy team and a blowout win against an FCS team. We have 1 close loss against an AP #25 team and 1 close loss agains a Coaches #25 team. Minus the Texas St game, that isn’t bad. Maybe we just sh*t the bed once and we’re not as bad as we think we are right now. Maybe this was a wake up call (JMU should have been one IMO) and we play lights out the rest of the season. My realistic expectation is to go 5-1 the remainder of the season, win the conference championship and go to a shitty bowl against a MAC or CUSA team.

If we go 5-1 the rest of the season, there is no way we win the conference championship because we won't even win the East. We need to win out AND hope that Coastal loses at least 1 more conference game to even sniff the East and get a chance at a title. Fortunately for us all the other teams in the East, that are eligible to win the title, have at least 1 conference loss already so as long as we beat them we will be ahead, but that isn't the case for Coastal as they are still undefeated. If we win out but Coastal only loses to us, they will win the East and there is nothing we can do about it. I would say that any expectation of us winning the conference championship if we go 5-1 to finish the season is very unrealistic and virtually impossible.

What if the one loss is to Robert Morris?

Since we've been FBS we haven't lost to Texas St., GA St., or ODU and never missed bowl season. Let's keep the last three streaks going.

We also had not lost to CCU, ULL. a bowl game or a conference title game as FBS prior to Clark coaching our team. Sadly, there have been a lot of "firsts" in the past few years. Hopefully these coaches and this team find a way to stop these losses from happening again this season. I fear the damn may well break if Elliot comes up to the Rock and leaves with a victory.

If Elliot does do that he should stay and Clark should head down to Atlanta. Elliot has done more with less at a program with zero positives going for it than Clark has done here.

I pray that we beat the breaks off GAST, but your response is ridiculous.

Not that I am advocating for Elliot to come back with this post, but he does have a point about him doing more with less.
Georgia state is 3-2 in bowl games under Elliot, not bad for a team that transitioned about the same time we did.
Their program as a whole has only existed since 2010. So in the first ten years of the program's existence and only seven years at the FBS level, they have three bowl wins. Elliott is all 3 of those wins.
Elliot is 32-34, 21-21. The previous two coaches went 20-62.

So yes, he has literally scraped that program from the bottom of the poop pile to get them to be an average record, an average team that has four winning seasons under him and only one before him.

Clark's first year, we had three losses. In his second year, we had four losses. This year we are 3-3. We will probably have 5+ losses. That isn't a good trend.

Who else has brought College Game Day to Boone? Coastal has hosted once and JMU has hosted twice. Troy has appeared twice, but never hosted.

A&M

[appstate5]

Goals..... Stop losing games we should win. Let's start there.

Doesn't that also go hand-in-hand with winning games we should lose or should we be undefeated every season?

Losing the A&M game would have been expected. Losing the rest.... Well.... Being up 28-3 means we should have won.

Well with about 2 inches the 2pt would have been good and we beat the holes - Where do you place that one?

I hate to say this, but even if we get the 2pt conversion I think the heels had enough time to get within field goal range to beat us.

No chance, at that point the ghost of Ingle Martin and Bobby Lamb would trigger some KBS south end zone magic, and we would ultimately block the kick. Apps Win!

GO APPS!!

Consistent bowl appearances and wins at a program with literally zero tradition, fan support, and identity is impressive. GA State will much in a much worse place after he is gone.

Haha, touché. I actually thought about qualifying my statement and acknowledging that a loss to Robert Morris wouldn't affect us but the absurd thought of losing to that team was too much to even dignify in my post. If we can't beat Robert Morris, we certainly won't beat Coastal, Marshall, Georgia Southern and State, and ODU. But yes, you are right, if we win all but Robert Morris we could still win the East and play for a title.
