Re: Portal time 25-26
It starts and stops up front. Injuries along the OL derailed our offense this year and we haven't had a dominate DL since our last conference championship. Best recruiting class up front we've had in a long time. Need to find a few more in the Portal.

Re: We need a good offensive coordinator
I’m not sure I buy the idea that DL is a bad play caller. My issue is with our QB play. In my 25+ years watching App St football, that was the worst QB room we’ve had, relative to our competition. It was a huge red flag we didn’t have a starter named/known until the first snap of the season. For th...

Re: We need a good offensive coordinator
Didn't Eli Drinkwitz call plays as the HC here and still does at Mizzou? It may not be overly common, but isn't unheard of. I'm sure there are other examples. Kiffin maybe comes to mind.

Re: Birmingham Bowl
I really don't get all this hating on DLo and his play calling. You may have to point out something specific, but I don't see it. What I do remember is: -2 starting OL going down in 1st two games. -QB throwing 3 1st half redzone pics vs S Miss. -WR dropping a wide open game sealing TD pass vs Coasta...

Re: Birmingham Bowl
It was always the right decision to play this game. Everyone involved should be commended for it. The players that decided to play, mostly. They played hard and put in the effort. I'm proud of them. This game showed once more that the offensive play caller is a hinderance to this program. Dowell ne...

Re: Who’s going to Birmingham?
Whelp, found a hotel with an indoor pool for the girls while Dad heads to the game. Using cashback, a 3 night hotel stay was cheaper than getting 3 tickets for everyone. So needless to say, I'll be looking for somewhere to tailgate pre-game. 9/9 as far as bowl trips go, thrilled to be able to make ...

Re: Portal time 25-26
I could be wrong, but wasn't Dozier the WR who didn't line up on the LOS causing the penalty on the 4th & 1 TD pass vs Arky State? I went back to look at that play, Galloway was a wing off of an extra OL as the TE, meaning the flanker needed to be on the LOS for a legal formation. Great play call w...

Re: Portal time 25-26
I guess I’m more in the minority that looks at this list of departures and isn’t too bothered. Porter and Dozier were the two that hurt me the most but the others have been far too inconsistent. 10-15 of them haven’t even seen the field. You can’t fault a kid for wanting to go somewhere to play whe...

Re: Portal time 25-26
I have to wonder about some of these guys that never played jumping in the portal, especially the young guys. Pretty disheartening to see some of these guys not willing to earn their stripes, or willing to put in the work required to climb the depth chart. I get this is the new world, but most of t...

Re: Who’s going to Birmingham?
I'm planning on going, but is $53 the cheapest I'm seeing??? Also, I think I read where every entry, no matter the age, needs a ticket. $53 is tough for a 3 year old who will be as much of a distraction from watching the game then she will be as a help. PS: I love my 3 year to death and experiencing...

Until we upgrade the trenches, we will be at best a .500 team.

Re: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly- Coastal
My four takeaways: 1) Our offense digressed as the health of some key offensive players did. When Dubinion was a threat 1st half, with the starting O-line, Offense was 2 dimensional and unstopable, until ... 2) Dubinion's nagging injury caught up to him 2nd half, coupled with the loss of 2 starting ...

Re: Coastal - 3:30pm - Discussion
We scored TD’s on our first three offensive possessions and didn’t reach the end zone again offensively. We stopped them their first possession of the second half, then gave us 4 straight TD drives. We had two chances to win the game and kicked a FG and went 4 and out, and still has a chance to tie...

Re: Coastal - 3:30pm - Discussion
QB threw for 278 and 2 TDs.. JJ was not the problem. We had zero run game. Coastal adjusted their D and we did not adjust our O. Dubinion was banged up and we lost two OL during the course of the game. Offense moved the ball efficiently all game. Still don’t have the dogs up front to dominate week ...
