You are reading it right but for some reason, Kendall Lamm (LT) is not listed on the right hand column. He was the starter last season before getting into trouble with the coach and sitting out the last several games. Still, our OL is very green. Oddly, one of the guys I am least worried about has never made a start. RT Regan Dufort is a beast.
A lot of internal problems last season, one of which was the OL coach who did not start Regan for some reason although most people thought he was the best man for the job. Our new OL coach is actually ECU's own Dwayne Ledford. Had a chance to meet him and hear him speak at one of the alumni events. Seems like a great guy and he has done impressive work with these guys. Of course, that is all based on practice and scrimmages. We won't know for sure until they hit the field.

Yeah, getting off to a good start will be key. If we fall behind early like in 2009, I'm not expecting a similar comeback. That was a very veteran team.
Ha, I actually just checked that out and posted a link on our Rivals board!
Thanks again for putting me in touch with Stephen, very cool dude. He came on our Podcast to speak with us and is also doing a write-up for the site. Obviously, he knows ECU football but I was very impressed with how well he did his homework on App.

What the heck?
No surprise:
1) ECU is breaking in a new QB
2) ECU's placekicker is 0-for-2
3) Appalachian State is an upper-echelon FCS program
ECU's victory margin will be somewhere near the 8 points I predicted earlier in the thread, just as soon as App State's conditioning becomes a concern for them.

Not sure where I am yet.
Surprised, it's been a full day and no takers. Guess there's some unknowns or else nobody wants to take the plung.
Figured this board would start kickin in a little more 2 weeks out from the season startin.
I see 1 running TD, 2 passing and one coming from the defense with one FG.
14-10 at halftime / 17-7 second half / 31-17
Not bad
14-10 Halftime with a defensive TD off the fumble recovery
One passing TD so far.
Should have had the d*mn FG, but wide right.
Got my 2 passing TDs, 1 running TD and 1 defensive TD and 14-10 halftime score. App can't hit 17 points without 2 safeties, so I'll take some more TDs from the Pirates now.
