Official Sammie prediction thread

The same results are beginning to become more annoying with each passing week. The Mountaineers may be getting closer to the desired result, but the pain of getting to that moment is also becoming more excruciating. A third game in a four week span was decided by three points. This time, an overtime period was played after Appalachian was in a calm control of the game in the first half. The Mountaineers were looking good, with a 14-7 lead in the late stages of the first half. Appalachian was to receive the second half kickoff. The Mountaineers had plenty of time to work a drive, kill some clock and at minimum, put the Citadel in a position where they were not going to possess the ball with the likelihood of scoring. After two plays, Kam Bryant fumbles deep on the Mountaineer side of the fifty yard line, and gives the Citadel prime real estate and clock in which to score. The Citadel tied it at half, and got themselves back in control of the game on the backs of another costly Mountaineer mistake. To open the second half, Appalachian punished The Citadel, lining up for a total of thirteen plays on offense, but the drive amounted to zero points. Two plays later, The Citadel was in the end zone again, this time with a seven point lead. Take away that fumble, and this game ends differently. It was a game changer. Appalachian could have gone up two or three scores before giving the ball back to the Bulldogs in the third quarter, but instead, turned it over once by fumbling and a second time on downs. It was a near identical script to North Carolina A&T, which was a product of not getting in the end zone enough on offense, which kept the Mountaineers from being winners.

We're going to need to be +2 in turnover margin to win this game and score over 30. Samford could be the best all around team left on the FCS schedule especially in the trenches.

Get it up for Homecoming. Throw the ball down the field all game long.

I have to believe that this is the week that we get our act together and beat a worthy opponent.

Sammie should win this one, so based on Apps season thus far, it won't happen:

The Apps need to find a way from defeating themselves. If they limit stupid mistakes and give it 100% it will be a happy day in Boone. So, here's to App getting that monkey off their backs, defeating a ranked team, winning homecoming and improving to 2-1 in conference.

Hoping for an upset though!

I picked us to lose last week against a triple option team with a mobile QB. I have a different feeling this week, and for some reason my faith feels like we are prime to pull an upset. Show this team the film from the Marshall game in the early 90's when they came to Boone ranked number 1 and let them know the understanding of our tradition and character. Come on guys, we can prove something this week. Time to open up a can of whoop ass. Play smart-no mental mistakes (penalties and turnovers). Play for the guys around you. Take care of each other and the pigskin, and I think we can make a statement.

The zone D finally works against a pass friendly team and TOP in our favor. Marcus Cox comes through down the stretch to run out the clock.

App kicks butt and wins by at least 1!

Beating WCU and GSU at home doesn't prove to me Samford can win in Boone!
