Official Blue Caboose prediction thread

[bigCasu]

For as many bad breaks and bounces the Mountaineers endured most of the season; it seemed to turn around all at once for Appalachian in a game against its biggest rival. Neither Georgia Southern or Appalachian are the same teams they have been in the past, for various reasons. It was terribly noticeable at times, with countless penalties and otherwise sloppy play. The passion on the field was not missing. You could sense it in the air on Saturday that both teams badly wanted to beat the other. Perhaps the turning point occurred on the Eagles second drive when an illegal block was called on an Eagle lineman, with Southern up 7-0 and driving. This play put the Eagles behind the chains with a 2nd down and 23 yards to gain. Eventually the Eagles had to punt, and the Mountaineers went to work on the Eagle secondary. Kam Bryant completed three of four passes on the drive for 70 yards and ran twice for fourteen yards, including the equalizing touchdown that tied the game. The Mountaineers struck quickly, in an old fashioned drive that lasted less than two minutes. The following Mountaineer drive saw Appalachian penalized for 40 yards, but in effect they were good penalties. A couple of them were borderline, which forced the crowd into the game. Appalachian persevered through it all, eventually gaining 96 yards on the 15 play drive that technically only covered 56 yards due to penalties. In a strange way, despite the penalties, those extra plays got the Mountaineers in rhythm that carried them to a 38-14 blasting of Georgia Southern. The big thing about those flags that were thrown on that drive is that they were not procedural, but plays of passion and hustle that got the crowd back in the game. So what if Marcus Cox tried to get the crowd going when he was twenty yards away from the playing field? He was not taunting the other team. Shaq Counts may have held a little bit, but it is on the official to make the call. Everyone holds in football, sometimes you just get unlucky. What is important is that the Mountaineers have not quit, because any day Georgia Southern loses is a good day, especially when the Mountaineers win.

Now we find out if last week was an aberration or the new norm. With the taste of victory I believe the new norm has been established.

The boys need to play spoiler this week. At 6-2, a Moc's loss puts them on the playoff bubble as they run through the gauntlet of their season with Wofford, Samford and Alabama remaining on their schedule.

I'm predicting that last week was an anomaly, and I am hoping that asutrainer81 has to call me out again afterwards. Two in a row will be a trend and I am back on the train.

Ah! Keeping Chatt-town out of the playoffs would be fun. Here's to hoping that you feast on that deep-fried mocking-crow Saturday evening!

I predicted an Eagle win last week, hence the smoked eagle crow I had on Sunday. I'm hoping to enjoy some deep fried mocking crow this Sunday after my prediction is proved to be wrong.

ASU's offense will have a much tougher challenge this week against the Mocs defense. I'm not completely sold on Chatt's offense though. I like ASU's chances this week if we can maintain the intensity we showed last week. A win on Saturday and we could salvage a 5 win season.
