Ladies and gentlemen:
We have just seen the unveiling of the greatest team in modern SoCon history... better than App in 2006 & 2007, GSU in 1998 & 1999, or Marshall in 1995 & 1996. Actually, this team will go down as better and more feared than the two greatest teams in the sub-division's history- Marshall 1995 and GSU 1989.
This team will average at least 60 ppg and give no more than 3 ppg. No opponent's starters will score on Chatty's starters and no team's starters will force either a punt or a turnover from Chatty's starters.
Nick Saban will beg the entire team to transfer to Bammer and he will medically redshirt his entire team and then go 13-0 and not give up a point in the SEC.
We are all not worthy... but we are priviledged to watch the great and awe inspiring Mocs in action.

Why because he is black? He is nothing like Armanti Edwards style wise. He is bigger, stronger, and slower. He is very similar to Newton as far as style.

February 10th, 2012, 01:33 PM
He can't be like Armanti because Armanti actually LOST a game while at App... nope, he's got to be like Cam, who went undefeated during his brief tenure at Auburn.
Chatty's guy will never take the field and not score. They will not punt nor will they turn it over while he's at the helm.

I was thinking because he's a dual threat QB that plays in the SoCon. He may be taller but at 195 pounds, he's much closer to Armanti than he is Cam Newton in terms of overall size. I obviously haven't seen as much of him as you but from what I saw against GSU, he seemed more like a guy who can run by you like Armanti than run through you like Cam.
Well... that and he's black, unlike Cam.

He's not very fast just smooth and guys just fall of of him when they try and tackle him. Almost exactly like Cam when he is running the ball.

Yeah his pass efficiency rating was over 20 points higher than your boy Jackson.
He also hit on a higher percentage of his passes.
But hey he did play a bad game. You really did a nice job of proving your point.

That is true but comparing a 43 attempt sample to a 262 attempt sample is somewhat apples to oranges. His completion percentage was 1.3% better but he was not asked to pass nearly as much. He had more rushing yards than passing yards and had 90 rushes to 43 passes.
I'm not saying the kid can't throw the ball but the question does remain whether he can stand in the there and read a defense once teams key in on his running ability and keep him in the pocket. I think Robinson could be a dynamic player but now that teams will have more game film and be preparing to face him, he needs to polish that aspect of his game.

Yeah. I'm not making the point that he is currently as good as the NFL's number 1 pick and rookie of the year. I was comparing styles and maybe a little bit of that "it" factor. Robinson needs to step up his passing game but you don't have to be an elite passer to really hurt a defense when you have that dual threat. And lastly, I wouldn't say someone who hit 27 of 43 passes "can't complete a pass."

That is assuming all those teams play the same as last year. I can't speak to the others but ASU is going to be a completely different team than you saw last year. The 2011 game against UTC was before the QB switch with terrible offensive play calling and ASU still found a way to win. Jackson will be back with some experience under his belt and the benefit of a competent offensive coordinator. Y'all have to not only improve, but improve more than us.

We return 9 offensive starters including an entire offensive line. We get back Keon Williams, I bet you don't know who that is or how good he is. We return 9 defensive starters from #1 total and scoring defense in the SOCON. We went 3-5 last year in the SOCON. If that's as far as you look MAYBE you are are right. If anyone actually looks at the results they will see that we won those 3 games by 30 ppg and lost those 5 by about 2. Let's say that this trend continues and they still can't win close games and blow a huge lead. They will still be highly competitive in every game. And will blow out 5 teams because they are going to be better. Let's say they don't improve overall but win the games in which they outplay the opponent they will go 5-3 or 6-2 in that case. If they win the games when they outplay the opponent and improve they will probably go 7-1 or 8-0. No, this team should not be a road dog at the Citadel or Jacksonville State or a Home dog against Appalachian State. Will they be? Maybe, because there are alot of people like you who aren't very knowledgeable andthe goal of vegas is simply to get equal bets both ways. But if SOCON football was really looked at and analyzed like say, SEC football. Chattanooga would be an obvious choice as a top 2 pick in the SOCON this year.

We return 9 offensive starters including an entire offensive line. We get back Keon Williams, I bet you don't know who that is or how good he is. We return 9 defensive starters from #1 total and scoring defense in the SOCON. We went 3-5 last year in the SOCON. If that's as far as you look MAYBE you are are right. If anyone actually looks at the results they will see that we won those 3 games by 30 ppg and lost those 5 by about 2. Let's say that this trend continues and they still can't win close games and blow a huge lead. They will still be highly competitive in every game. And will blow out 5 teams because they are going to be better. Let's say they don't improve overall but win the games in which they outplay the opponent they will go 5-3 or 6-2 in that case. If they win the games when they outplay the opponent and improve they will probably go 7-1 or 8-0. No, this team should not be a road dog at the Citadel or Jacksonville State or a Home dog against Appalachian State. Will they be?

Georgia won 10 games last year and played for the SEC title. They'll be close to preseason top 5 and probably will be back in the SEC title again. But I'm not a Georgia fan you fail. Now if Tennessee lost at LSU by 2, Lost at Bama by 1, lost to South Carolina by 7 and Florida by 1 as well as returned 20 starters like they do, don't you think they'd be one of the favorites?

That is true to a certain extent, I was just talking about how the Parcells quote applied. Don't get me wrong, if Chattanooga does not improve on the 5-6 record they put up last season, I would be surprised. However, placing them as a favorite does not account properly for all the talent returning for GSU, ASU, Furman and Wofford, all of whom finished above them in the standings, beat them head to head and bring back a ton of key players.

I get your experience argument, but who is to say that a sophomore with one year of experience is better than a Junior who has sat 3 years behind an all american learning.
A 5-6 team returning a ton of starters doesn't mean all that much. Please tell me why Alabama isn't terrible every few years when they have so many players that leave.

Chatt has made alot of progress the last 3 years, but every year we keep waiting for them to "break thru" to the upper level of the conference, and it just hasn't happen. They have alot of talent, but they just don't seem to know how to win, especially the close games. As for next year, I don't expect anything different from past years, somewhere in the middle of the pack. The Chatt offensive line was the worst in the conference the past 3 years, and I don't see that changing next season. To quoate the great Rick Flair, "to be the man, you have to beat the man", until Chatt starts beating, App, GS, and Wofford on a consistant basis, they are just a middle of the pack team.

App returns 10 of 11 starters on a defense that sacked the Chatty QB 4 times, held them to 32 yards rushing, and 1.1 ypc, forced two fumbles, picked off Coleman twice, put him on the ground on half of Chatty's offensive plays, and scored 14 points. They also have 8 of 11 returning on offense. There is no reason for Chattanooga to be ranked ahead of ASU.

Xan Thomas started only one game. Ed Gainey, started only 3, Gordy Witte started 1. Deandre Pressley was not a starter, only played in the nickel package. Kendall Lamm only started half the games, so we have had two underclassman starters at LT, and considering we lose 2 OL, thats good for us.

We also return Kalan Jones, who was our starter at LG but went down with a season-ending foot injury against VT.

According to the Maine pre game depth chart we started 1 senior, 7 Juniors, 1 Soph, and 2 Freshman DEs. We change players on offense according to who we play and who is healthy, we're always banged up at the end of the season, and the Maine game obviously wasnt exactly the best line up. I think we had 8 different starters at various times in the season on the OL line alone. Our true starting LG went down with a broken foot very early in the season, so you could say we actually had 3 starters at LG.
^ Mike's got it. I'd just like to add that Justin Wray is coming back on the defense. In 2010, that guy was a player. If he is healthy, he starts, regardless.

Once again, returning starters means absolutely nothing unless you have good starters in those places.
We are returning a lot of talent in our secondary. That doesn't mean our secondary is going to be better than another position just because we return some of those guys. I think it will improve, but I also don't expect the same four starters to be starting at those positions. Doug Middleton will be starting at one CB position next year, and he isn't considered a starter now.
It looks like our D-Line lost one starter, but we lost three really good players who were bigtime contributors. On the other hand our four starting linebackers last year are all returning as well as all-american candidate Justin Wray. So are we returning five starters at Linebacker? I have no doubt we should have the top linebacker group in the nation next season.

There are very good starters in place. Rodger Walker was a Wr at the start of last year, and made huuge strides at CB. I'm completely comfortable with him there and an off season under his belt. Middleton, Ross, and Barnes may all see some playing time. I have never seen an FCS team as loaded at LB and DB as next years team, and that is great considering our strength was the DL last year. The staff also brought in 2 more DBs this offseason that could contribute. Blackmon has been clocked in the 4.3s. Two good freshmen DEs are coming back with a years experience, and Blair capable of moving into the NT position along with Corbin, Burns, and Shuemake all at 300lbs, Small coming in at just under 300, and Milhouse at 275, we've got plenty of options and competition despite losing 3 big contributors at the DT position.

Middleton, Ross, and Barnes may all see some playing time. I have never seen an FCS team as loaded at LB and DB as next years team, and that is great considering our strength was the DL last year. The staff also brought in 2 more DBs this offseason that could contribute. Blackmon has been clocked in the 4.3s. Two good freshmen DEs are coming back with a years experience, and Blair capable of moving into the NT position along with Corbin, Burns, and Shuemake all at 300lbs, Small coming in at just under 300, and Milhouse at 275, we've got plenty of options and competition despite losing 3 big contributors at the DT position.
Until I see them, you'll have a hard time convincing me they'll top the 2003 Paladin unit with Mike Killian, Ced Ritter, William Freeman, Cam Newton, etc.
That team gave up 14.1 ppg and only three teams (GSU, Clemson, and UTC) managed to put up more than 20 points in a contest (and UTC lost by 42, so they got there against the backups). Offense stunk, but that defense, and particularly the linebacking corps, was about as good as I have seen at the FCS level. Just as a comparable, last years ASU team gave up nearly ten points per game more than the 2003 Paladins, so they have to go a long way to match that group.

I did say, "that I have seen," not saying theyre the best ever, but I hope to be able to make that comparison at the end of the season. xthumbsupx Our offense was downright atrocious, the worst in the spread era, expect the ppg to drop when the ASU offense starts making first downs. The OL coach absolutely screwed our entire team last season. There were times last season where our defense just manhandled the other team's offense, but the offense couldnt get it done.
If you throw out the Vtech game our ppg falls into the top 20 in the nation, and after all, this was our very first year running the base 3-4 defense, and Vtech, the very first game. Alot of potential in Boone this year.

I don't know if we will be that dominant defensively in terms of numbers. If our offense gets back on track (as many expect it to) I think we will score too quickly to put up all time caliber numbers. The thing I am looking for out of our defense in the coming seasons is turnovers. What our CBs might lack in cover skills we make up for in ball skills. They typically locate the ball well and take advantage of opportunities. They will get beat sometimes, but they will also get turnovers and with a good offense that is the best thing you can hope for.

Im thinking it may take Satterfield a while to rebuild the offensive juggernaut he left us with, but we will have a better than average offense, I think we're primed for great overall stats, its the individual stats I think that are going to suffer. With Wray, Grier, Kimbrough and Rizor all on the field at the same time, its almost unfair. Only one can get the tackle each play, and I think many teams will resort to the pass rather than try to run on these guys, theyre just too big and too fast.

Why is it that delusional? It happened in 2007, 7,631 total yards, 509 yards per game. We averaged 42.5 points per game in 4 playoff games. And despite the lopsided scores, the time of possession was nearly even, with the exception of the first round where JMU held the ball for over 40 minutes, and we still put up 28 and won.

App, for a long time, was able to play the "shootout" game that works for some teams. The App offense would hit the ground running, the other team would have to play catchup, and would all too often commit mistakes and give the Apps extra possessions.
I can agree that the offense really put the brakes on the App State machine last year. In their losses, App wasn't able to get anything going in the middle of the field, and had to resort to trying to get the ball on the edge every time. That works well enough most of the time, but when teams can neutralize the inside game with three players, then there's a whole lotta help out there. App has some great athletes, but even the best of them can't escape four or five opposite colored jerseys.

Last year App had three players go in the NFL draft, the most ever, and more in camps. This year we've got 2 in the combine, one of those only played 6 games as a CB and we'll probably have 3 more in camps. App has produced NFL level talent consistantly, even without National Championships. I think App fans are more qualified to compare our past guys to the present then you are.

Thats a good assessment. I think 3 yards rushing against Maine says it all. Personally, I think the OL talent wasnt utilized properly, by the OL coach, and the problem was exacerbated by the staffs refusal to change the playcalling. Thankfully the new OL coach and Satterfields return, with full OC title should fix those problems for the most part.

Don't tell that to recruitniks. Furman's class gets ranked poorly every season, yet of the SoCon teams, only App State has more players on NFL rosters. Either NFL scouts or recruit beat writers don't know their rear-end from a hole in the ground. Methinks it's the latter.

You didn't score 2 defensive tds either. The point was that Chattanooga's offensive line, as bad as it was, was good enough to beat Appalachian State last year.

You can't win this argument, when your team actually starts winning on the field, consistantly, than, you can talk. I will be the first to admit UTC has made progress in the last 4 years, but, again, until Chatt starts beating the top teams in the conference, you have no creditability telling us how good Chatt is going to be next year, and talking trash about App.

DeAndre Presley's inability to get the ball to our receivers against y'all is really not an indicator of what may happen next time we see each other. It will be different kids under center for both teams. Jamal Jackson and Terrell Robinson have started games against only 2 mutual SoCon opponents that I know of, Furman and Elon.
Elon:
Jackson - 26/42, 284 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT
Robinson - 11/13, 140 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT
Furman:
Jackson - 29/44, 312 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT
Robinson - 1/7, 3 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT
I'm not worried about how our QB is going to get our receivers the ball. Jackson started half the year in 2011 and put up more passing yards than Coleman and Robinson combined. ASU's passing game is going to be fine, my concern is improving our ability to run the ball.

Jackson was not a great quarterback. Were he a great quaterback, App's offense would not have been shut down by UTC, Furman, Wofford, and Maine.
Also, UTC has a good, but not great, defense. Were they a great defense, the team would not have been 5-6. When your offense can only score 27, giving up 28 might as well be like giving up 60.

Jackson didn't play against UTC or Wofford but you are right, he was not a great QB. I'm not sure any ASU fans would ever say he was great but there is a lot of ground between mediocre and great. Considering he was thrown in mid-season behind a revolving door of offensive linemen and no benefit of a running game, I think he did an admirable job. If we can get a true between the tackles runner to step up, some continuity in the offensive line and a cohesive game plan, we will find out how good he can be.

Maybe I missed something...what does ASU's offense going scoreless have to do with Chatty's OL? Seems to be separate from the argument about Chatty's OL.
When did I "pretend" how great ASU's QB was last year? You don't even know, do you?
Your argument was, and is, that Chatty is better than ASU. While I find it humorous, it is not conducive to providing a good counterpoint. However, let me address your rambling:
Now as bad as it [OL] was, it wasn't the difference. Are you responding to the App game specifically? I will assume so, and state that you are correct that it was not the sole reason Chatty lost to ASU. It did, however, contribute to turnovers and Chatty's inability to finish drives. That should be clear, even to a Vols fan, or a football novice. Unless, of course, you believe that the turnovers and inability to finish drives was all due to ASU's defense...
And it won't be the difference next year either. I'd say that's a decent prediction, though not provable until the clock hits 0:00.
So like I said, I would be worried about Chattanooga's defense. Or the lack of offense from your own team. That sounds just about how most fans should think. Isn't that usually how the game works? I would suggest, based on last season, your team should be worried about the same things.
As great as you want to pretend your QB was last year, the reality is that he was very mediocre. I would say that Jamal Jackson was slightly above average last year, if you want to say mediocre, fine. However, Chatty has not played against JJ, so it is tough to say how he will perform against Chatty's D. Clearly, you believe you know, but you also "knew" that Chatty would destroy ASU in 2011.
Chattanooga returns one of the stingiest pass defenses in the nation. Cool deal. It was still a defense that lost 6 games last season. For the sake of Mocs fans, I hope this pans out.
You seem to be very sensitive, and I hope I haven't hurt your feelings. You also seem to have difficulty accepting compliments. But, I'll try again. Chattownmocs, keep the posts coming, you are hilarious. I enjoy your posts, almost as much as Opie's, and definitely more than Apphole's. xlolx

. I would worry about how Appalachian State's recievers are going to get open and how their mediocre QB is going to get them the ball against a defensive unit that returns 9 starters and dominated them last year.
I could say the same to you, you do realize that Chattanooga was ranked 98th in total offense last year, right? Theres only 120 teams. Apps piss poor offense ranked 38th.

Are we really still arguing about this?
Jackson was not a great quarterback. Were he a great quaterback, App's offense would not have been shut down by UTC, Furman, Wofford, and Maine.
Also, UTC has a good, but not great, defense. Were they a great defense, the team would not have been 5-6. When your offense can only score 27, giving up 28 might as well be like giving up 60.
Can we move back to 2012 now?
Absurd comment. A team that was in every game til the very end led the conference in Scoring and Total D. Clearly they were a great defense. Try again.

They were a good defense but regardless of what their stats were, 'great' defenses do not cough up 2 TD leads in the 4th quarter at home twice. I know the offense did not help them much but part of being great is clamping down late in the game when it matters.

It's amazing how bandwagon this board can be at times. Now Chattanooga's defense wasn't good either. lol. Not a single offense got the better of them in this conference all year, but they weren't any good. 28 points is not an offensive explosion in college football, it is about a draw.

They were the best. Period. No other defense in the conference was as consistent, or as good in total or scoring D. Great or not, it was the best in the SOCON.

Where did you get the idea that anyone thinks the UTC defense was not any good? I think the point you are missing is the huge difference between good and great. Great defenses do not melt down late at home. The UTC defense did that against The Citadel and Wofford. Win those games, you're 7-4 and in the playoffs.

Great defenses don't melt down for 60 minutes. Whether Chattanooga's defense was great last year is debatable. What isn't is that they were the best in this conference.

Old enough to know that 1985 is brief in the history of college football. I just find it interesting that this could be your best argument. It is very weak and irrelevant.
So the most recent 27 years of college football is irrelevant thanks for sharing, say things out loud before typing as a filter.

Isn't Huesmans son a freshman qb?, if so how long is robinsons leash before sonny boy gets a go at it? I have always been weary of these son on the team type things, if your son is good enough to be on a college football team, then he doesnt need to be on your team. Anyways just wondering if one of you nooga folks could give us the 411 on this.

Maybe, maybe not.
How many yards and points did GSU's backups surrender in the third and fourth quarter of blow outs, and how many yards did they surrender playing bend but don't break while the GSU offense was running rough shod rolling up big leads in the other three quarters? I would ask the same question about Wofford too.
You play to the scoreboard and to the game situation, not the stat sheet.
I saw every defense in the SoCon last year and I thought App was the best with GSU being second best because they were able to make the plays that win ballgames. Stats are for losers and teams with losing records. I'll take the group that makes the big plays that win games every time.

Georgia Southern blew out 1 more team than Chattanooga did in conference play. Most of the point you gave up even in those games was early. In your close games you gave up late points. But how many big plays did Georgia Southern's defense make late against Chattanooga? The answer is none. They got shredded. They were lucky Robinson missed a wide open Joel Bradford on the 2 point conversion or they would have been watching from the sideline as their offense tried to bail them out. Chattanooga gave up the fewest points and total yards per game. They have the best defense in the conference. Simple as that. If they wouldn't have given up a few ate comebacks they would have been the best in the country probably. That's a different debate.

Relevance is something the Mocs have never entertained on the field so I understand your apprehension. ;)
Hey, if my team has sucked a*s for decades I'd have my head in the sand too. The 2011 dream of shoulda coulda woulda will continue to live on with (unfortunately) you.

You need to look up the word relevance and then go look at the history of college football. Clearly you are delusional.

The only one that mattered, they got the QB hurry and subsequent incompletion on the two point conversion and that was the game winner. Josh Rowe made the play. Period. End of story. They won.
GSU won 8 games by at least 2 TD's, which is 3 more than Chatty won TOTAL, and GSU won 6 games by at least 3 TD's, which is one more than Chatty won TOTAL... GSU's defense played to the scoreboard and made the plays when it mattered in big games against Chatty, Furman, Wofford, Citadel, Samford, and Maine. They won the conference outright, and made the final four- AGAIN. That's all that matters.
As for best in the country, that's laughable. NDSU's defense was heads and shoulders better than everybody else in the division and that's not even up for debate.

What makes a great defense- the other team's freshman QB missing a wide open reciever with the game on the line. That's kind of like claiming your defense is great because you FG block defense picks up a fumble and runs it in. Some of Chattanooga's defensive break downs at the end of games kept them from being one of the best if not THE best in the entire country. What it did not keep them from being was the best in the Southern Conference.
