Official Bellhop prediction thread
As expected, Montana and Appalachian State gave every fan exactly what they were looking for last weekend. The first half was full of offense as Montana took an early lead only to see Appalachian string together three consecutive touchdowns. Montana finished the scoring in the first half that saw the score tied at intermission. The defenses ruled the second half as the third quarter was scoreless until both teams traded touchdowns in the beginning of the final stanza. Appalachian’s defense rose to the occasion, unlike the two schools previous meetings. Patrick Blalock and Demetrius McCray finished off Montana with interceptions on the Griz’ final two possessions to seal a Mountaineer win, that was twelve years in the making. Quickly though, Appalachian’s attention turns to their first conference opponent fresh off of a win over the third ranked Georgia Southern Eagles. The Citadel had Southern on the ropes last season, but fell just short in Statesboro. This past Saturday, the Cadets were just good enough to squeeze past Southern by connecting on a field goal with less than a minute remaining in the game. Any chances that The Citadel might catch Appalachian on a Montana hangover were erased with the Bulldog victory. The Mountaineers have not lost to The Citadel in Boone since 1992. Most of the players on both teams had yet to be born the last time The Citadel drove off the mountain with a victory. Will history repeat itself or can the Bulldogs start off conference play with wins over two perennial contenders?

Re: Official Bellhop prediction thread
I really think we match-up well with El Citadel and will cause turnovers.

If we don't turn the ball over App will prevail, however if we do, just ask the gnats.

Re: Official Bellhop prediction thread
Read my response from this morning in the week 3 lines thread, just think we will be focused and have better talent, they'll suffer the letdown when they get behind and we will roll the points on them.asutrnr81 wrote:Dang Black....are you drinking the koolaid?Black Saturday wrote:APP 38

Thanks BigC.
Hope we hang on to the ball again this week and get up on them early, forcing the TO to pass.

Re: Official Bellhop prediction thread
Thanks for the writeup BigC. trend lately has been a let down on the weekend following a big App victory. These coaches will keep them focused this year though. i was impressed with the letter to the students from the captains also. The Citadel is 2-0 and they will be though. i think App will put together the win though in a close one...even if we are exposed to purple flags at halftime (jk).

Re: Official Bellhop prediction thread
In previous years we've seen a letdown after a huge win. There's no doubt that last week was a big win. The question is whether "previous years" wil repeat. I've seen things this year as far as focus and attitude that make me hopeful we won't see a hangover game versus The Citadel. It's also possible that ElCid is actually better than they've been before. Hopefully, their road game will continue to be less than their home game is traditionally.
