1 Defense x3- The defense played the biggest role in this game. Rolling the safeties in and out of the box depending on what the offense was showing was the key to only giving up 96 yards on the ground. The Gilmore INT and the punch out by Drayton were the 2 biggest game changers. Making them one dimensional was key.
2 Offensive Line- The OL done its job to a T. I would like to see how someone graded them out on that game, it would have to be in the 90s. Breaking up holes for Knox and Evans to drive a MACK truck though and allowed no sacks on a pretty aggressive defense.
3 Skill Position Players (WR/RB)-. There were a few drops that should have never happened but the WR played well. Knox with 100 yards at the half was key to keeping the ball out of their hands in the 1st half.
4 Grant Wells- With a much better defense Wells in some cases proved he was a freshman. The deflected Willie Johnson pass and the INT were both freshman mistakes. But over all he done more than manage the game and beat a top 25 team. Still think the kid is gonna be special.
Our WR had half a dozen drops, one being a TD. They certainly did not play well.

You guys were lucky half our O line was in quarantine and our QB got a case of Hero Syndrome.
You guys were lucky we didn't win by 30.
You obviously couldn't win by 30 or you would have done so.
Huh? One team is lucky the other QB was off (which is really due to pressure and defensive secondary coverage skill), but we can't claim you were lucky to not lose by two more TDs if two plays go the other way? That isn't logical.

Let's all just admit that App State is Charlotte-like and we can all move on.

You are absolutely right. They will and so should anybody. To the folks who are feeling sorry for the kid please don't. This is FB and when you talk ****, sooner or later it gonna come back to bite you in the ass.
clt says Charlotte fans have done nothing but praise Marshall. go back to the lowly sun belt chat page and discuss who you want as your next head coach.

congrats Marshall. While I certainly don't think App played up to its potential, I think you guys schemed our offense perfectly, and your QB may have been rattled early but ended up with an OK game.
Disappointing from our side, but thems what we got.
Also, congratulations on the biggest win in UNCC history.

That Marshall QB is a redshirt freshman. He will get exponentially better as he matures in the role and gets a few games under his belt. But yes, Appy was beaten by a redshirt freshman.
