Too many hollering “we’re not any good.” So what’s good? Covering the spread? Quit looking at the spread. Who is good? Alabama? Let’s take 3-0 and work hard toward next week!

App State is 2-1.

Still not anybody saying we are not any good. We are saying not as good as expected and this proves it. There is time to get better for sure but we are not where we thought we were.

Clark is a solid coach.

But three or four losses a season seems about right for him.

That's not App State solid and I think Clark is better than that.

You guys can praise the final score and make whatever excuses you want, but the team that played today is 7 - 4 at best this season. This was not the effort I expected after a close game against Miami.

8th largest crowd in KBS history.

Wow that's impressive, but it sure didn't feel like a top 10 crowd. More spaced out I suppose.

How’d the NEZ look in person?

2-1. Correction noted.

AK St losing to 0-2 washington 45-3

GASO lost to arkansas 45-10

Coastal squeeked out one over a now 1-2 buffalo 28-25

I'm still feeling good about this year

This team, the one we saw today, will lose to coastal and ULL. And Marshall. We are looking at 9-3 with this performance.

Dress it up how you will, this game was a pig.

And Miami got blown out by a bottom tier BIG 10 team.

Some games just aren’t highlight reels, in spite of the opponent. The “perfect” 1972 Miami Dolphins had their closest game all season against the 4-11-1 Bills (a 24-23 win that didn’t cover). It was a W that still counted then, and now. 1-0 this week. Beat Marshall.

Meh, I’m sure we put an effort into scouting Elon, but I imagine it was a small one. We were very vanilla on defense and it showed. Of course I would have liked to see 42 points scored in the first half and a little more defense, but App won and the victory was never hugely in doubt. Our defense has had much better showings in the other 2 games, I’m pretty confident in their ability.

Win? Yes. Ugly? Yes. Different defensive scheme than Miami and ECU. Only gave up 10 points on soft coverage and not much pressure on QB. Offense good passing yardage, I'm a little disappointed in rushing numbers but will take it. We will see a different game plan for Marshall for sure as we will each foe we face. I don't think we have NY6 team but we should be competitive in every game we play. I don't see 10 wins being out of the question. If I'm not mistaken looziana had their first 10 plus win season ever just last year. Yah think we are spoiled? I am.

I’m diametrically opposed to this outlook. I think we best all 3. Our team just gave their all in a tough game at Miami. Probably tough to get back up for Elon who none of these players see them as an old rivalry as is older dudes might. Michigan St is pretty good they ran their big back with a lot of success as we should have, heard the announcers say their staff brought in 41 transfers to rebuild which showed, I don’t see them on the bottom this year. I don’t know, but i’d say we didn’t offer anything to scout. With all the experienced talent, gentlemen’s bet we win out.

My only beef with this season so far is when it’s nut cutting time, we need to ride our big back.

Completely agree. Peoples needs to be the back inside the 5 - always.

What are you talking about? Coastal beat 1-2 Buffalo by 3 points. UL beat their FCS team by 3 points. Marshall has looked pretty evenly matched with ECU through the first half. We didn't look great today, but nobody else on our schedule has looked any better.

Take a step back and look at the big picture.

This game means nothing in the big scheme of things except we beat Elon by 34 points. The game was never in doubt and since we have a short week I imagine we spent a good deal of time working on Marshall not Elon. Means nothing regarding how many games we win and lose this season. I also think we were a little flat after last week. We're going to be fine.

UL blew the doors off of Ohio, an FBS team.

Marshall is beating the crap out of an FBS team.

We looked bad against an FCS team. That’s the problem

That’s 8-4 actually. If you’re so keen to add up losses before they happen, make sure you get the record right.

Good point, that team is 8-4. Thanks
