App's strength on offense is the run and Ohio is strong against the run defense. Its a very physical team.

Ohio's HC is something like 48-1 when leading at the half. They like to get out early on teams and stay in control.

Last time Ohio played a Bowl against the SBC it won by 30+ points. Its also 9-0 since 2010 against the SBC (2x Louisiana, 1x ULM, 2x UNT, 2x Idaho, 2x NMSU).

Ohio ranks 50 in the country in Run Defense. App State ranks 6 in Run Offense

It's all good an well how Ohio has done against Sun Belt teams in the past, but that record means nothing because these teams haven't played yet.

Thier SBC record means nothing since they have never played AppState.

Ohio played a tougher schedule than APP ST.

Seven MAC schools are in bowl games. Ohio was 2-2 vs. the teams they played in bowls and both wins were on the road. This is a legit MAC bowl team 8-4 which has been bowl eligible 7 consecutive years.

Its the best Ohio team since at least 2012, maybe 2011. Both those years were bowl wins for Ohio.

That is what I think is going to be the difference for Ohio; bowl experience and overall talent level that is on par with an average B1G school. The last couple of seasons its a program that has underperformed relative to its talent.

You can see Maleek Irons run here. 44 yard run mowing down 4 BG defenders. Coaches have failed to get him on the field.

Ohio definitely has the ground game to keep its offense on the field against APP State. They have more problems with passing teams and APP State isn't a big passing team. This APP matchup is a good one for Ohio.

The state of Ohio produces very physical players. By no means is it a weak football state like Massachusetts or Idaho. I wouldn't expect a soft opponent down in Montgomery for App State.

Heading down tomorrow AM from the ATL. Got some fresh Bobcat Sausage ready to grill. It's really good with hot mustard and a Trooper Beer!

Saw some Appholes on 85 south today. Flying those flags! This game will give us a good heads up on how strong or weak the MAC is. I am going to feel a lot better about our bowl if App curb stomps them.

And Georgia Southern steamrolled one of the MAC bowl teams who you lost to 49-14.
I don't think anyone is expecting you a soft opponent but making comparisons of the MAC to the Big Ten is laughable.

Ohio beat a lousy Cajun team 38-31 coached by Ricky Bustle in 2010. I know of no other games between the two schools since.

Two good teams, should be a good game. Might be close, or one team might have an off day and its not close. As far as what it says about either conference I think its a stretch to put too much stock into 1 destination game.

It won't say anything about the two leagues. Bowl games rarely do, they are fluky.

I am going to go ahead and turn this into the game thread. Figured it would better than trying to start a whole new one in the morning.

This is so much like a FCS championship game. two teams from totally different worlds with strengths and a few weaknesses. The game anxiety is high because no one knows how 18-22 year olds will play.

I think this game goes down to the wire and mistakes will kill a team.

Go APPS .... good luck Bobcats ;-)

Good luck App!!! Let's get it rolling.

Good luck today guys. Will be pulling for you.

Good luck hillbillies!!!!

This is the third time in my life I have rooted for App.... the other two were when y'all played Michigan the first time and when you played Delaware and that douche Keeler in 'Nooga. Now I will go shower and say about 20 "Hail Southerns" to make the stench go away.

I hope y'all beat them by 50!

GOOD LUCK to App . . this Red Wolf will be watching and rooting my Mountaineers to victory . . yep, I will be a proud Mountaineer Fan from start to finish of the Camellia Bowl.

Go App . . Go SBC !!

John Law not playing.

Game will start on ESPNNews because New Mexico and Arizona can't seem to get their game over with.

3rd and 7 and Ohio runs up tue gut. lol
