Considering that other teams don't run it we would have had a certain advantage. That is not to say that Fritz can t get it done but I see this year being a big learning curve as we enter the league. To me probably our ceiling is 5th and our floor is 10th.

I think you would have done well with Monken, but may actually do better long term with Fritz or Fritzie as some have called him.
The Sun Belt conference has better coaches. App State figured out how to handle Monken's attack. No doubt most of the Sun Belt would have also. Not to say all would have the personnel to handle it.

You really figured out how to stop it when you lost in 2010, won by 1 score in 2011, and were lucky we didn't have kickers when you won by 3 in 2012 (we missed 3 FG's ugh).

The mess we put on the field in Boone last year is part of the reason I'm glad the previous offensive staff is gone. They were starting to make me lose faith in their ability to call a game. Even in the Florida game there were bad calls on offense, and our last TD was a bad play that worked because a defender happened to panic on our alignment right before the ball was snapped.

The last nine years GaSo has beat App State twice.
7 and 2 in our favor the last nine years. Yeah, I would say we were able to stop GaSo for awhile now.
