I will say the App AD spoke very highly in the pregame interview that was on the App network.

He also mentioned there was a group of App alums in the area that were tailgating and he visited them. Glad we have some fans that either can travel or live in the area and can represent App Nation.

Couldn't watch last night, just followed along with the score on my phone. Now that I'm rewatching it this color analyst is awful. Comes in LOUD every time. Also stepped on the play by play announcer over and over and over again. Let the announcer finish his thought then provide analysis.

Inexperience or just a crew that's not used to working together.

Your qb shouldnt be the sore point, it should be his ol more then anything, cant let a giant like boggs barrel right through a hole without even a slight touch, he made multiple plays that saved the drive

App can't make justifications/excuses anymore. We are not productive running the ball as we were last year. Yes, that is due to the defensive strategy of clogging the run and daring us to execute in the passing game, but folks were doing that last year and it didn't matter. We are not as strong there, period. RB Moore just has not shown up, he's either hurt or it's the aforementioned OL issues, but we have problems there.

On the positive side, RB Upshaw seemed to emerge a bit as the most productive runner of the two. He got basically all carries in the second half, and seemed to be the most creative runner of the two. As a second positive, our passing game seems to be improving as we are forced to fold it into game plan more.

The end was super scary as the AppState defense was gassed. I literally saw cramping and vomiting on that last Texas State possession. TL in What I believe is a very un-senior like careless move, reached out needlessly for the goal line at the Texas State 1 with ASU up by a TD with less than 2 minutes left in the game. TL owes the entire defense a steak dinner for saving his freaking bacon. Especially since the defense handed the salt-this-one-away TD to the offense on a silver platter.

The positive overall is weaknesses are in the sunlight. No excuses. The coaches and team have to deal with them, and I'm hopeful that we can and we will.

It's a team game. Taylor owes nobody anything. Does the D owe him for all he does to put them in a favorable position of playing with a lead? Moore was hurt, the OL isn't as good as a year ago and two of our best offensive players have not seen the field this year. App fans amaze me. You can't please them. It's hard to win, especially on the road. Give Texas State credit for being responsible for some of our problems.

If we just had a kicker..... not sure why Sherman is doing it. I thought Ripley did a decent job last year and we knew Sherman wasn't very good from his previous years....

Tough fought game by the Bobcats. The defense had a good game plan, and Williams made a ton of big plays with his legs when things broke down.

Our play calling has to open up more as it did in the second half for us to move the ball right now. Our two new starters on OL aren't up to speed yet so we can't just pound out first downs. We're also very short handed at WR and RB so going wide open is hard to do right now as well. Hopefully we get some guys healthy this week.

DG, credit goes to Texas State for fighting and for keeping it close. While they are improved at DL and QB they were predicted to finish near the bottom of the conference. We will see what happens as the games are played. That being said: I'm not a Kool Aid drinker and I got rid of my rose colored glasses years ago. I only see Texas State once a year, I see App every game they play for a few decades now. I might be able to pick up on App's issues a bit more than other teams we play.

My commentary was reasonable and even-handed. The offense needs to step up despite the excuses of new folks and injuries and plane travel. Those are all part of the game too, and we won't be successful at home or away if we don't improve and make changes fast.

Withers isn't an idiot. He knew App had several offensive issues. Ten minutes into the game it was pretty obvious Moore wasn't up to speed and it appeared Taylor injured his shoulder on that first long run. Everette took advantage of them and basically rendered our run game non existent. Adjustments were made in the passing game late in the 1st half and it opened up some running lanes. The kids kept their composure and overcame all those issues to win the game. Unless you have an intimate knowledge of defense and understand what Tex St was doing, it's impossible to say what we should or shouldn't do. Especially watching on TV. Knowing all that I just don't understand how people can be so critical. Fans tend to overlook all the positives and focus on the few negatives. It's not drinking the Kool Aid, it's being realistic.

DG, I have respect for your opinions and listen to you weekly. But your go-to argument has always been "you don't understand". Of course Withers isn't an idiot. So are most of the coaches App will face off against this year. Of course he game planned for our weaknesses and adjusted his strategy as issues evolved on game day. It doesn't change the fact that our offensive execution has been lacking all season. Three game into the season, you really get the sense of how other programs opt to prepare for a team and how that team will react. Withers crew taking us to the mat with what the coaches and media believed to be the second worst team in the Belt should be not just a wake up call but an air raid siren. Boys, we got work to do. Based on interviews I've seen this weekend from Satterfiled, he agrees.

Which brings me back to my original point: Glad App got the win, but it feels like a loss, and that's an excellent motivator for the team to prepare for this week and the rest of the season.

I should not have quoted your entire comment since my frustration is with the App Fan base in general. My specific beef with your post was the comments about Taylor.

No question we have issues to address and I think you saw that happen late in the 1st half and into the 2nd. I sat in Sanford Stadium 3 weeks ago listening to people complain about our ineffective running game. Never mind we were going up against one of the best front 7's we've ever played with a true freshman center and 2 additional OL guys who have played very few game snaps. Forget we had 2 true freshmen were playing in place of our 2 best WR's. We should be running the ball on these guys. Not saying this about you, but based on what I hear and read, a LOT of our fans do not have a clue how this football thing works. Otherwise they wouldn't be making those comments.

I've never been on a team where a win felt like a loss. All W's are hard to get. Sometimes you just don't play well and everything the other guys do falls into place. The really good teams find a way to win. That's what happened Saturday night. Scott sure didn't seem disappointed after the game.

https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/909242420554027008

BTW, that 2nd worst team in the conference stuff is all based on what happened last year. You sure didn't hear that from our staff leading up to the game.

Scott has a few quotes in the papers acknowledging the issues and saying the team has some work to do when they get back. Said in another post that our easy looking Belt schedule does not look so easy anymore with Texas State, NMSU, Looking better and Idaho and ULL looking inconsistent but tough when they are in the grove. On to Wake.

It's not blasphemous to say we need work.

Texas State deserves a LOT of credit. They flat made plays in the first half. The QB was fitting the ball in some tight windows and receivers were making great catches. Maybe it isn't that we were tired, or it was hot, or we had freshman players. They played in the same conditions we did and they have freshmen too. Maybe it's that the Bobcats played a helluva first half (and final drive...that was incredible) and deserve the respect.

Thanks. I know we've talked a lot about how our defense has turned around and looked good to this point but everyone just sees the Colorado score and goes oh 37-3 y'all arent getting better. I don't blame any posters for the lack of respect but it's good to hear it from y'all after we've been talking about our defense for the past week. Hopefully we can continue to earn respect.

How would the refs know it was a busted play? The QB threw it where no one was at. Those calls are always tough I think, but I did not see anyone near that throw ,and in the end, is that not the main part of intentional grounding, throwing the ball that is not near any potential receiver?

Also called that way because he had less then 2 seconds before he got sacked, pressure was on him and even if the route was run wrong with all the factors made it seem like intentional grounding.

The call has nothing to do with pressure, QB has to be outside the pocket to throw the ball away. QB was clearly still in the pocket with no WR around. easy call.

Rehashing this from halfway through the thread...

He wasn't throwing the ball away though. He was legitimately trying to complete a pass and there was miscommunication between QB and WR. I've never seen it called grounding before ever.

He wasn't throwing the ball away though. He was legitimately trying to complete a pass and there was miscommunication between QB and WR. I've never seen it called grounding before ever.

The ref isn't going to know that though.... unfortunately for us....

He should....

Great game App. I legitimately hope you guys are as good as advertised.
You'd think we got blown out by reading bobcatfans right now. But our more sensible fans understand we're taking huge step in the right direction.

Hopefully utsa underestimates us. I've already seen one of their posters say we lost 20-13 to an FCS team so must be awful.

UTSA fans sound like a good fit for CUSA.
