Ark state @ App State... I think Ark States offense keeps it interesting much like Troy did but doesn't hang around late. I really don't think stAte will run it as fast as we did. And I think App will be more ready for the up tempo.... App wins 43-27

ULM @ TROY... Troy offense continues what it's done in the past two weeks. TROY 41 ULM 21

ULL @ Ga State.... Upset alert.... But is it really a upset? Not really... GSU wins 38-24

Idaho @ USA.... Idaho isn't the same without epps... Idaho puts a scare in them tho.... USA wins 28-20

NMSU @ Texas State.... Pretty easy HC win for the Bobcats... Texas state wins 44-21

Thing is, you can't really compare Troy and stAte for 2 reasons. 1: We don't play this year, and 2: Both teams run such different styles of play.

Troy does not have much of a running game, so they have to rely on short quick passes to move the ball. stAte has a much better running game, and has a better receiving corps, but doesn't have a QB to stand in the pocket and make quick throws.

The other difference is that while we stop the run pretty darn well, we've got a major weakness through the air. We possess the capability to slow App's running game, but might struggle if App cut Lamb loose because we'll have a hard time staying with App's receivers in man coverage.

We may use some of Troy's concepts, but ultimately we'll try and beat App State using a completely different approach.

Maybe so. Who knows, I could be bias, but I think Troy and App are playing the best ball in the conference right now. I think stAte could give them another scare.

How is losing to Idaho and S. Alabama and beating a 0-7 team = playing the best ball?

That's what I'm wondering as well.

Me, three.

We arnt the same team that was playing in the first half of season.

Our system is finally starting to click later here in the season.

stAte @ App - Tough game to predict as Troy appeared to find some cracks in the App D and likely blinded them with those chrome helmets. This is a game that might come down to who has the ball in the end. App has a lot of momentum and has just gotten a wake up call so I'll guess App 31 stAte 28.

ULM @ Troy - This would appear to be a pretty even match up but Troy appears to have a little momentum even after losing in OT to App. I go with the home team; Troy 24 ULM 14.

ULL @ GaSt - The Panthers continue to improve by small degrees and I still can't figure out this ULL team. GaSt hasn't exactly been great at home in the Dome. ULL 38 GaSt 34.

Idaho @ USA - Without Epps I don't see Idaho doing that much against the USA defense. USA plays up a level at home. USA 24 Idaho 21.

NMSU @ TxSt - I expect NMSU to still be on an emotional hangover after last weeks big win and they are trying to teach all WR's to catch the ball with their feet after last weeks big play. TxST should prevail at home; TxSt 39 NMSU 38.

The strange thing is that most Belt teams are so inconsistent it difficult to predict anything this year. App had been the one consistently good team (some of which is because of a weak schedule) and Troy blew the lid off that. Also the OOC schedules of teams like stAte, Troy and others make them difficult to grade. It will be interesting to see if either App or stAte can escape undefeated. I predict whomever wins this Thursdays game will likely slip up against a "lower level" opponent and blow the undefeated Belt season. I guess it's just the nightmare of watching last years App blowout at the hands of USA at The Rock that still haunts me.

Looks like you put some thought into your predictions.

I do think there is a good chance the champion will again go undefeated this year.

The talking heads are saying that whichever team is most efficient in the passing game will probably win the game, and most think that would favor AppSt.

I disagree because the scuttlebutt I've heard is the A-State coaches are betting the house on their qb's ability to run the ball being the difference in this game.

Passing will be an afterthought.

They think he is the best player in the SBC and unstoppable when healthy, and he's healthy, and they are putting this game on his back(or legs).

They think he will be the leading rusher in this game.

I don't know if he will be the leading rusher in the game, maybe for his team, but I agree that the more he runs the better the chances they beat us, watched him a couple of times this year, once he got outside the pocket, great things happened for their offense. App will probably play the same type defense that worked against Ellison, load the box on obvious running plays, then on passing plays, have a linebacker whose responsibly is to spy on him, and limit his yds once he break containment. The big question is, can he complete enough passes, if he can, then it could be a long night for us, if he cant...look for the same results as the GS game.

Certainly don't disagree with you. I expect App will load the box and dare Freddy to throw. If he can hit a few then App will have to back off the line a little and that will open up the run game. A similar strategy to GaSo but Freddy is a better passing threat than was either of GaSo's QB's. Also Apps outside linebackers are speed players which can hopefully contain Freddy and 2 very good RB's. I just hope we see the super aggressive App defense from GaSo game and not the vanilla one we saw against Troy. Either way should be an interesting chess match on both sides of the ball for both teams.

Everything we are seeing over here makes me believe that we will pass a lot more this week, and try to force App State's Defense to respect our Wide Receivers. (We have better receivers than Troy)

If that happens, it would then give Knighten and our RB's a chance to move the ball.

App's coaches know we can run, and they will most certainly game plan to shut it down. Thing is, unlike most SBC teams, App actually has the horses to shut it down. that means we have to be able to throw the ball to win.

Likewise, we're going to load the box to stop Cox and Upshaw and force App to beat us through the air

Again i heard 180 from that, and the plan is let Freddie be Freddie going forward, and he has been given the green-light to just cut loose, and go with his instincts.

Even when they want him to pass, he is to take a quick look, and if his instincts say run, then run.

The OL has been told to make darn sure they expect him to tuck it and run every time he goes back to pass.

They are going to hitch their wagon to has ability to run the ball, and let what happens, happen, in the passing game.

They think they have a Thoroughbred, who is the best football player in the SBC, that is 100% healthy, almost unstoppable, and are going to let him take them to the house, or crash.

If your defense is good enough to stop him, good for you.

Lol he isn't that good of a qb and I'm a stAte fan. He doesn't take a hit even on a third down scramble and is prone to fumbling. He would be a good wildcat QB. He isn't even the best QB in the conference much less player. Arbuckle is the best QB in the conference and Ellison can actually pitch the ball on the option.

So if our "gameplan" amounts to letting Knighten run around aimlessly we lose.

I never said USA was better than anyone. I disagreed that USA was inferior, which was the implication. The score was 47-21, right? And it wasn't even that close. It was 40-7 in the 4th quarter. And the game was in Boone.

The App team playing now looks nothing like the team dismantled by USA, hopefully no one is questioning that 12 months later.

If looking at the 2015 versions of both teams I would think most would say USA is the inferior team, right?

Now losing to USA is very possible, which he also stated.

He was talking 2014 and implied USA was inferior, which I refute. I even said "last year" in my post so I'm not sure where the confusion entered.

By season's end you may have been and for the season App did have a better record playing all the top teams in conference.

App's defense vs USA made your QB look like Big Ben for Pittsburgh. I remember sitting in the stands watching our defense never blitz and give 10 yards of cushion. Probably the most frustating game since the 1999 game vs FAMU when they would run no huddle plays while our defense was looking towards the sideline for the play.

Completely different team in November and December, especially on defense.

If App and GS were bowl eligible last year USA would likely have been sitting at home.

Worst score prediction thread ever.

Didn't you hear App St was the best team in the belt last year in spite of finishing 3rd in the standings.

So you're saying it's dumb to think you're better than a team that finished above you in the standings?

How did that possibly go over my head? You were implying that App fans were unreasonable for thinking they were better than teams that finished above them to a guy who was claiming that his team was better than App's despite finishing two spots behind in the standings.

You're correct I retract my gif.
