That’s not a good faith argument.
Last week was against a good team.
This week is against a horrible ULM team that will finish close to last in the belt.
ULM isn’t horrible. They beat a decent Army team. And look we played poorly, 4 T/O is gross, but we still won. That’s what you want on the road. Resilience.
Again not delighted with the performance, but show me a great team and I’ll find you an ugly dud win they had against a mediocre team they maybe should have lost. Happens to the best of them.
If this was a one off I’d agree. But it’s not. It’s a theme. We play down to the duds of the league ever. Single. Time.
When’s the last time we beat a bad sun belt team like a drum?
I don’t disagree with you. In fact I posted the same thing earlier.
I’m just saying I’m glad we won tonight, and all good teams have ugly wins. I still think we are a good ball team this year.
So my emotions might be getting in the way for me too.
I am thrilled we won tonight. I could not bear the embarrassment if we lost to ULM.
I think this win kicked the can down the road by one week, at the end of the day.
All good I was ready to go dunk my head in the rain catcher outside after we turned it over on 4th down near the end there.
If I can offer any bright side, good or bad we tend to play to the level of our competition. Miserable in games like ULM but handy against UNC or our upcoming Sun Belt slate. I hope.

I’ll say this for Clark’s tenure, it’s “like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get”. So I’ve decided to enjoy the win and hope we pick a good one out of the box next time.

I won’t pretend like I’m delighted with us today, but we did win, on the road, after a pretty rough 2 weeks of travel.
And while I’m not exactly jazzed with the coaching right now, I will say Clark seemed to get torched last week for dominating but not finding a way to win, then finds a way to win this week but gets cooked anyways.
That’s not a good faith argument.

They aint any bad Sun Belt teams anymore old timer... it's a new and improved league last 4 years with the Transfer portal.
Anyone with user name that starts with Yosef is boring, get some creativity, been meaning to type this for a week actually.
New and improved, with a coach at App State that can't keep up. Is the portal only open to other schools?

I usually agree with what you say, but we should not have had to rely on a fg to win this one.
Winning is winning -- Monroe had over a week to prep, their coaches get paid too. Clemson and Bama haven't always blown out ACC or SEC bottom feeders.
Tom Brown your Maiden hero didn't always dust everyone, go to Glen Oaks and have a beer tomorrow to celebrate, you may see me out there taking money from the locals.

Comparisons of Saban and Dabo to Clark...extra rich. When we win national titles, hell even a Sun Belt title with Clark, and more times than not beat top 25 teams, then I'll accept an occasional close game with a bottom feeder. I'd also argue more times that not they blow out those bottom feeders. Not so much with App State these days.
Let me guess...Sun Belt is tougher now...or was it the time to play the bash my username card?

We have now given up 154 points in five games, that's more than 30 a game. We aren't likely going to beat JMU, Marshall, or Southern if we don't get better on that side of the ball. We seem to be giving up way too many chunk plays. Kudos on the goal line stand and stopping them on their last possession. The talent seems there but something doesn't seem to fit. The offense can score on anyone and despite four turnovers the offense scored 34 tonight. To contend, we will need to get more consistent play on defense. I think the last two games have shown us that our kicking game is capable of scoring and we should have a good feeling about Michael Hughes ability to hit the long ones.

Perhaps, but Joey split time with another QB at the JC level last year. He's still learning on the job. To have him step in when Burger went down and run the offense (and take every snap) since the 2nd half of Game 1, is a pretty good accomplishment. Glad we went after him in the transfer portal and glad that he's a Mountaineer.

I keep seeing this and I just dont get it. Burger was abysmal when we saw him. Joey obviously has his flaws and needs to work on the interceptions, but it’s just the way he plays. I simply think his playmaking more than offsets the 1-2 mental errors you get from him each game. We scored 41 points tonight that should always be plenty. Joey had nearly 400 all purpose yards.

To be fair, Burger was injured for most of the small sample size that we saw and we were running the most basic of plays

We won, and a win is a win. We are one win closer to bowl eligibility and a conference title. At this point, taking it one game at a time is not a cliche.

Is LMU really this god awful bottom feeder that some keep calling them? If they go on and finish 4-8 then maybe we look back and view this game differently but for now it was just a crazy shootout that we pulled out. That last drive was clutch. I could only follow on game cast and had to wait for my phone to update on the plays. Does Joey need to clean up the turnovers? Yes he does. PIC's happen to even the best. Apparently our defense struggled with lane assignments? Just find a way to win. In case many people on here haven't noticed college offenses can score points. Look at the games everywhere each week.

Look! ULM is better than Army and they are also better than Lamar, so there.

Isn't it strange the similarities from last season to this season. Most glaring is how conference play started with a last second miracle (Troy last year, ULM this year). Hopefully, this season doesn't end the same as last.

7-11 with a TD all while having a broken finger????? That's not abysmal

I’ll be watching the USA@ULM game next week. I do hope this ULM team is a top three western team.
We survived so many mistakes last night and very lucky Bowden didn’t sneak on the goal line and/or kick the FG.
The interceptions and poor coverage by our secondary were troubling.
We seemed to get coverage sacks last week, but WYO threw more intermediate passes, the long ball is now on film for everyone to see.
Joey struggles to see the defense at times, each game there’s an interception that a safety reads him. The snap into the motion man was a mental mistake as well, attention to details in college football is so critical. But he may still be our best option and we’ll need to overcome those.
CCU looks pretty bad on defense so let’s exploit them, send McCAll off with a nice L shaped present.
