That's what happens when coaching staffs are more enamored with size than skill.

when you only have about 65 guys on the team and only 33 of them are scholarship players, my guess is that broadway probably limited the amount of hitting in practice just to minimize injuries. plus, don't forget that our apr reduced our normal amount of practice time. limited practice and limited hitting, just might explain why we had so many fumbles.
and, as far as app state's poor performance against va. tech goes? i think va. tech had a lot more to do with that than app state just playing poorly. a very big part of any team sport (that a lot of people overlook) is psychological "motivation". that's the mental part of athletics that can heavily impact the outcome of a game.
you might recall that va. tech loss "at home" to fcs power james madison last season and were very highly embarrassed because of it. how much money does anybody wanna bet that frank beamer wouldn't let this year's team forget about that? the only reason va. tech loss to madison is because the hokies came out flat and did not play motivated football. so i have no doubt that app state took va. tech's very best punch this past weekend.
in other words, i don't think app state is anywhere near as bad as they looked against va. tech. they will probably be extra fired up against us because they want to get that bitter taste out of their mouths. actually, i was hoping for just the opposite, that they'd come out flat against us. but after that "trouncing" they took in blacksburg, i don't see that happening.
i don't see anyway of sugarcoating this game. if we keep this game close (much less win the game), broadway will deserve national fcs coach of the year...

It is still early but we can't help but see the difference in the quality and direction of the coaching staff in comparison to last year under da "General". No indecision on the field getting the plays in on time, game management (time outs, etc.), utilization of players ('Tricky' Ricky) to contribute. We need to keep improving and turn this thing around!!

Their is not to many choices to be had on this years team . Unless somebody steps up !! (I no your tired of hearing that ) but that's about it. You put the best on the field. If I was the running back Coach I would let the Backs behind the top 2 no!! You have to step up your play are get to stepping . Cut and Dry. Their is no reason that we should not be at lest 5 deep at running back. Back up Backs/Receives and DB's can handle the other duties on the specialty side of the ball and that will enable starters to get some wind time. How many RB's,DB's and receives do we have on Scholarship right not  That have yet to see the field Put their butts in the Heat the next two games returning Kicks and Punts and give (Iron Man- Lewis : Need I say more!! (Juggernaut Mayhew Once he began to run in a given direction, no obstacle or force on Earth was able to stop him. ), along with (Kindle- Cyclops : a skilled tactician,)a rest  . Hell if we have a fair season I'll call them The Avengers . My Grandson came up with their names Lol. What can I say . The boy loves anything Blue and Gold. lol |
