If our kick coverage teams don't improve by A LOT, App. State might score 4 TDs on kick returns. They are faster than GA SO and we gave up a ton of return yardage last week. As happy as I am about the win, GA SO's ineptness played a big part in it. If we clean a few things up we can hang with them. One last thing - why can't we get a kicker who can reach the end zone on kickoffs?

Re: Game 8: vs App St.
If you look at who App State has played and what it took for them to win, I'm not sure if they are as good as the record suggests. For example, they scored 28 in the 4th qtr to beat NMSU. NMSU came from behind to beat Georgia Southern. It will be a test for sure, but not as much as some think.
Re: Game 8: vs App St.
If they can score that much in the 4th Qtr it doesn't bode well for us considering our late game collapses!

Counter point: If you look at who UMass has played and how they looked in those losses, I'm pretty sure they are as good as their record suggests.TheInsider wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2017 1:15 pm If you look at who App State has played and what it took for them to win, I'm not sure if they are as good as the record suggests.

I would say they are a bit better than their record suggests and that's what is so frustrating.

Re: Game 8: vs App St.
It can be band senior day and not football senior day. I highly doubt the Fenway folks would allow the bandos to drink cold duck on the infield....69MG wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2017 6:14 pmPer Whip, Senior Day is the Maine game at Fenway.

^ Wow . . what a surprise! The common factor in the win last week and 'not winning" is the TO's! We only had 2 all year and came up with 4 last week!
That is the key . . need to force turnovers but we also were very poor on our kickoff and punt coverage last week that will have to improve a lot to win!
