Game Notes vs Charlotte and game discussion

[ASUFan4863]

We've spent a lot of time talking about all the unknowns around App, but is Charlotte any good? I literally don't know anything about Charlotte because I don't care about them. Should we win this game no matter what, or could this be one of their few wins against us?

Top to bottom through the rotation and roster, App is more talented. Harrell is a mobile QB that struggles with passing the ball, so we can make them one dimensional and force their WRs to beat our DBs. I will take our DBs everyday, and in every game this year as a matter of fact.

I don’t believe the game will be a blowout because our last two victories against them were not either. 2020 was a 1 point game until the 4 quarter where we ultimately won by two scores. Even 2019 was a two score game and that was one of our most talented teams in FBS history.

I expect another two score win personally because the talent difference will eventually show itself. I’m expecting a lower scoring game in the range of 24-10 or something just because both teams will need a feeling out period for themselves and the opponent.

Back to game...The line has fallen to APP -6.5, for all the unknowns, just win.

The Kanye ACL injury news was in the App State game notes released Monday, hence the "officially confirmed."

I'm gonna make a Bingo card for Dowell pressers and put a bunch of NFL players he coached in the spots. If that player is mentioned, mark the spot.

What I found interesting is the claim that players ran 1,000 more reps this fall camp compared to last year.

To be clear, he said “training camp”, which includes Fall and Spring.

The NFLish lexicon is gonna take some getting use to.

I don't know the exact way to describe it, but I did hear the team was running full 11v11 plays on each end of the field, hence the higher amount of reps per player.

I think Harrell will be better than people think. UNC OC did not adjust the offense to his strengths. I hope we make him look bad....means our D is improved

It’s one of those coach speak things. He called the spring game “preseason game 1” but is it really when you deal with the portal after spring and so many start in the summer? Probably dependent on the position itself. You could consider the spring game for the QB room but probably not for DT and LB.

Practices are ran more efficiently and there is a stronger emphasis on development in both skills and leadership.

We are already dealing with the injury bug unfortunately. A couple (2-3) expected contributors are unlikely to play this week as well. It’s also affecting the QB decision by the cause and effect principle. Certain QBs build chemistry with certain players, which can effect how each QB performs.

There could be some overreactions for offense after the game but they aren’t full strength at the moment.

Just win is the motto. Boise and USM should be a better glimpse of the offensive capabilities.

Overreaction? Here? Surely you jest.

You’re gonna wear yourself out policing every message board and every fanatics feelings my brother.
