I think Austin Peay has a shot in this one. Their defense is elite (#1 in the nation in yards allowed per play) and that seems to translate better on the road in the playoffs than an elite offense does. I think Sac St peaked earlier in the season around the stretch where the had 3 convincing wins in a row against EWU, Montana St, and Montana but maybe the bye week has reinvigorated them. Their QB Thomson is one of the best in the country and he was dinged up towards the end of the season so if he's back to 100% that just might spark them back to their midseason form.

I put a poll on this thread finally. My apologies for not doing it sooner.

[Grizzlies82]

I watched 3 games of Sacramento State this year. Their beatdowns of Montana State and Montana as well as their own beatdown at the hands of Weber State. They have a very talented team which can probably beat anybody in the playoffs. Yes I said "anybody". They are very solid on both sides of the ball. Though this is their first and only time in the playoffs. So the big unknown is if they get rattled by the hype and/or the 'win or go home aspect' or if they play up to their potential.

I've not watched any games by Austin Peay so don't have a basis of comparison. Still I'm going with Sac State since I know what they can do. Soon we'll find out if they're up to the challenge.

[FUBeAR]

Let’s go Peay!

FUBeAR has been high in the ‘Nors all season. Had ‘em @ #11 in my final regular season poll.

Hated watching their dismantling of my ‘Dins last week, but I love their style of Football. #2, #3, #5 & #11 are fun to watch on the Offensive side & their whole D goes HARD - a little too hard on occasion - out of 124 Teams, they are #121 in Penalty Yards/Game & #119 in number of Penalties/Game. I would wager a large % of those are Defensive penalties for going a tad too hard. Rather have to put a leash on Defensive Players than light a fire under them though. They need to find a way to ‘be themselves’ on D on Saturday, but not give away the game by getting flagged for drive-extending penalties.

[Catbooster]

I'm torn on this one - would like to root for a team from our conference, and would like a re-match, but if Sac loses we can host another game. Generally I like to root for the underdog - the team that hasn't been in the playoffs before but both teams meet that criteria.

The chance to host the next game is too appealing, so I'm hoping for Austin Peay in this one.

Agree with your sentiment. Typically root for BSC teams. BUT, playing Sac State doesn't sound appealing to me in the least and not just because of the home game reasoning! They are a solid squad and if we were the #4 and they were the #5, I'd still want them to lose. Then again, if we both win and MSU gets a chance to avenge the loss from the regular season, it wouldn't be a terrible thing either. APSU looks like a tough out also (as should any team be if they make the QF).

5 pm ET would be 3 CT. There weren't a lot of great options to try and entice someone to start their game later. With the Dome and a decent immediate population base to draw from NDSU wouldn't have been a bad choice. The forecast for the last week has been pretty good until the crazy cold front hits tomorrow night. JMU and Weber can definitely have sketchy weather this time of the year.

UCA would have been reasonable to start late afternoon/early evening too. Odds favor decent weather (40's/50's) in Conway this time of the year.

Bottom line, having to wait until 9 sucks...

We're Central time zone, so that's like a 8 PM start for them. They haven't played a game that late since they lost to Tennessee State ( which started at 5 pm ). Playing until 11 pm shouldn't be an issue, seeing that OVC games that start at 7 pm in the early fall don't end until after 10 pm

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Indeed!

[Professor Chaos]

Looks like a downpour in Sacramento. Perhaps favoring the visitor who has the stronger defense???

The few times I watched Sac St. their DLine was formidable.

[LetsGoPeay]

Considering that last week's game was played in the rain, the Governors won't be phased by it.

Looks like a defensive battle shaping up initially. We definitely need to get the running game going, and protect the ball on the ground and in the air.

[LetsGoPeay]

What a beautiful drive!

Craig looking flawless so far.

7 - 0 APSU!

[ElCid]

The Peay look poised. Sac may come alive, but right now, AP looks good on the road.

[Mike296]

14-0 AP after another great drive.

[ElCid]

Wow, that's was easy. AP taking care of business.

[LetsGoPeay]

So . . . . .

That Sacramento State defense doesn't look fast at all. And it doesn't look like they gameplanned for Wilson at all.

OH MAN . . . AND THE ONSIDE KICK?

WHAT?

[Lorne_Malvo]

Sac looks bad. Really bad.

[ElCid]

Wow, AP is playing to win. Onside kick recovered. Perfect timing.

[ElCid]

This could get ridiculous. TD Peay.

[Peems]

just turned it on, is thompson playing?

[Mike296]

21 -0 now after a 45 Yd TD run by Baniko Harley. People called me crazy for saying these guys could make a run but look at them now. :)

[Derby City Duke]

Wow! APSU bringing the pain early.

[LetsGoPeay]

LOL . . the Govs are putting the ENTIRE FCS on notice.

21 - 0.

The dream start.


Program note: Austin Peay hasn't blown a 21 point lead this year, but they have blown leads late in the game ( specifically the Tennessee St game ), and lost.

Tonight though, this team looks like a top 5 program.

[POD Knows]

Wow, early yet but holy crap.

[Derby City Duke]

APSU's #90 is a large man...but he got to the perimeter pretty quickly on that 1st down play.

What is going on?? Are they really that good? Getting lucky? Sac St just having a bad night?

Whatever it is... Good for APSU. Wish I could be watching the game.

If you haven't noticed, Kentel Williams hasn't played much this game either. He did something on that 2nd drive, and I think he's been on for like 3 plays since.

Wilson tweaked something on the 2nd TD drive when he stretched and caught that ball.

Yeah I think that is why he may have left. Plus, only via some chatter, that he told the coaching staff that he was headed to an SEC team. Hah. But glad he is helping AP.

[Schism55]

APSU's defense has been lights out tonight. The best they've played all year, although they were dang good in the Furman game.

[LetsGoPeay]

Both Williams and Wilson back in.

If SacSt QB was BSC OPOY, from what I’ve seen, somebody else stole his uniform tonight.

Sac St finally gets a break.

[LetsGoPeay]

Craig has been known to do this at least once a game. OK Govs, keep them off the board.

[FUBeAR]

Shoulda taken the points there. Very un-smart

[LetsGoPeay]

Great defensive stand by the Govs. Dumb decision by Sac State. You have to take the points there to give the team some morale. No need to be in panic mode in the 2nd quarter.

Make them pay for that APSU.

[ElCid]

Oh no. AP QB got dinged. Not good. He is like a one man wrecking crew on O.

[caribbeanhen]

He’s lucky he didn’t break his leg

[LetsGoPeay]

Wow . . . I thought Craig broke his leg on that play for a minute there.

How ironic would it be on the day that Jeremiah Oatsvall is available ( the opening day starting QB ), he'd have to come into a playoff game to lead the team.

Hopefully Craig is OK . . . but we're in great hands if Jeremiah has to come in.

[Derby City Duke]

Govs have now converted 2nd and 20 and 3rd and 15...where's the Sac State defense?

[ElCid]

AP QB not quite as spry as he was.

[LetsGoPeay]

We need to keep the defensive pressure on them to end the 1st half, and really establish this running game in the 2nd half. Shorten the game, and take some of the pressure off Craig to have to do everything.

[FUBeAR]

Wow . . . I thought Craig broke his leg on that play for a minute there.

Hopefully Craig is OK . . . but we're in great hands if Jeremiah has to come in.Hudspeth should go with Oatsvall. Craig is tough, but he’s off since near compound fracture of his lower leg. GREAT Player /QB as long as he has his wheels & the threat of his wheels. Kind of ‘just OK’ without them. Oatsvall is a heckuva a QB (if he’s healthy) & SacSt won’t have game planned for him.

Coach was a little too aggressive there. Run the ball, make them use their timeouts, or run the clock out to end the half.

Keep them scoreless, defense. Or score yourselves.

[PaladinFan]

Well, I'm feeling a bit better about Furman's effort now. At least the Paladins were close at the half.

APSU just might be a team peaking at the right time. They're talented.

[Mike296]

Let’s hope for some adjustments by AP after Craig went down.

[Professor Chaos]

#2 was recruited as a QB. Play is standard in their O. Problem was pitch relationship by the RB.
Yeah, could've fooled me that they run that play regularly with as awkward as those pitches looked.

APSU's offense looks pretty harmless with a hobbled Craig back there. But with how dominant their defense has been it probably won't matter.

[FUBeAR]

Well, I'm feeling a bit better about Furman's effort now. At least the Paladins were close at the half.

APSU just might be a team peaking at the right time.

[Hammersmith]

I got a phone call sometime after the game was 21-0. I looked up awhile later and it was 0-0. Apparently ESPN or my Roku somehow restarted the game(which shouldn't have been possible). While I'm sure Sac St would've loved the do over to be real, I was wondering if the same thing happened to anyone else? Exiting the game and restarting it fixed the problem.

[LetsGoPeay]

AP is kind of coasting here, what is the deal, put the hammer down.

They actually do this all the time. That's why last week's game vs Furman was so shocking.

APSU has to make sure to keep them out of the end zone on this first possession of the half. Don't give them any hope.

If Sac State is as good as everyone says they are, they'll score at least 21 points this half. That means that APSU needs at least another TD or maybe even 10 points, to pull out the win.

[LetsGoPeay]

We could use a turnover right off the bat. This team is normally good at causing turnovers on defense.

[caribbeanhen]

SacSt Coach knows time-outs don’t carry over, right? Or he anticipated another 3 & out & didn’t want to give APSU time to score?

[FUBeAR]

Sac St Coach was ‘working’ the Refs about APSU’s DB’s at half & got that called. They are a very hand-sy & aggressive bunch. Have gotten a lot of DPI calls all year, but also get away with a lot. Not sure that 1st DPI call was right, but Refs are setting tone that the GOV’s DB’s are going to be ‘under scrutiny’ much more this half.

2 pick 6’s @ Mercer in 1st half & got away with a LOT. I think they had maybe 6 DPI’s in 2nd half. Actually, I think the 2nd pick 6 was early in 2nd half ... and THEN the DPI’s started coming.

Sent from my LG-H931 using TapatalkOK, what if there was a tiny release of the ball of the "QB" on the handoff and the RB still makes the throw. I think if it is a forward handoff, they should write the rule where you can't throw out of that play.

A forward handoff is not a forward pass. A pass is clearly defined as the ball leaving the hand.

Because we're all keeping score, with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Sacramento State has already surrendered more yardage than Furman did to Austin Peay.

This just all sort of confirms my theory that there are really two or three really good teams in the FCS, and virtually everyone else can beat or lose to everyone else.

[FUBeAR]

OK, what if there was a tiny release of the ball of the "QB" on the handoff and the RB still makes the throw. I think if it is a forward handoff, they should write the rule where you can't throw out of that play.
NCAA Rules...

SECTION 19. Passes
Passing
ARTICLE 1. Passing the ball is throwing it.

I think it would be hard to interpret a ”tiny release” as “throwing it.” If a forward mesh-type of hand-off, which is quite common on zone-read & Power-O plays, is mishandled & the ball is dropped to the ground, it’s a fumble, not an incomplete pass. We’ve seen thousands of those & at least 10’s of fumbles on them, but I’ve never heard anyone say that those should be ruled incomplete passes.

Rules are good. Play is cool.

[POD Knows]

A forward handoff is not a forward pass. A pass is clearly defined as the ball leaving the hand.I know the rule and what they did was perfectly fine but I am saying that this needs to be looked at. I remember some teams would run a play wear the QB drops back to pass, he has an RB in pass protection and then would reach around the RB and hand the ball off, do you want to be able to have the RB then throw a forward pass. When they change this rule, they can call it the AP rule change.

To answer your question though, if the QB lets go and the ball drops straight down into the RB's hands, the ball didn't travel forward so it would be considered a lateral and the RB can still throw it.

Is Thomson playing hurt? He hasn’t looked the same since we banged him up a few weeks ago.

[ElCid]

One thing that has impressed me is AP"s total discipline when it comes to not committing stupid, unnecessary personal fouls or unsportsmanlike penalties. You can see it in how they conduct themselves. Sure they have a couple pass interference calls, but that can expected and sometimes necessary. Well coached team.

[Derby City Duke]

Thompson could be Adam Gase's long lost son...

[LetsGoPeay]

Gut check drive by Sac State. But the Austin Peay defense was another PI away from keeping them out of the end zone.

I knew that Sac would at least get something going in the 2nd half, even though our 2 starting corners are out the game on those last 2 TD drives by them.

Has anybody ever seen any other team do this before. My favorite play in high school was called a 141 or 140 cutback, hell, we could have thrown the ball of the inside hand off, I guess we weren't that smart. Anyway, hats off to AP, great play.

Yes - can’t remember who, but I saw a goal line play where the QB handed the ball to the RB on a ‘standard’ dive play up the middle, but he took 1 or 2 steps, stopped, jumped up, and threw a pop/jump pass to the TE for a TD. Also cool.

It is new and like most new things looks odd at first.

Sacramento had the feel of that Portland State team a few years ago. Peaked in October and not ready for the prime time.
Yeah, I’ve been getting that feeling for a while.

They trucked us, and then have looked like dog **** since (although, we did get pretty damn unlucky in our entire game against them).

They certainly look like a team that has never been to the postseason before.

Also cool.Yea, was the handoff an "inside" or "outside" handoff. We used to run a veer and a lot of times the QB would place the ball in the RB's stomach and a lot of times the actual hand off occurred in "front" of the QB, should that back be able to stop and throw a pass, I know they can based on current rules but it is bull****. Seriously, given the changes in the offenses now, this should be looked at but in the mean time, every team should teach their guys that get inside hand offs on an RPO to be able to throw the ball because it is not defensive in any real way. Imagine a decent WR that gets a fly sweep, takes the inside hand off, stops and throws a wheel route to an RB or TE.

They definitely do not look like that team. This is also the same team that lost to a terrible Tennessee State. Had it not been for that loss, they may have received a top 8 seed. That TSU loss woke them up.

As long as it wasn't like a shuffle pass of forward pitch, it really is a non issue. As a tangent, I know a number of years ago Wofford had an issue with the refs because many of their pitches were forward, and they dropped some, and had to give the refs some grief since is was "a pass." This wasn't. Not sure why the announcer had to make a deal of it.

They look exactly like the Team I saw beat Mercer 48-34, beat Murray State, beat Eastern Illinois, and beat Furman last week. Watched all of those games & parts of them beating JaxSt. This IS who APSU is now. Should be a good game @ Montana State next week (barring a blizzard). Wish they were playing a different team though...like Weber or UNI, maybe. Bobcats seem to be hitting on all cylinders since their back-to-back losses to NDak & (by 2 scores) to these SacSt Hornets. Hmmm?

This is probably the 4th time I've watched APSU play this season. They are perhaps the most shifty FCS team that I can remember watching since the App State teams of 10 years ago. They have excellent athletes in space that can stop, cut, and accelerate.

I've been fooled before, but basically every playmaker on offense for the Hornets is a junior or below. They lose two OL, I believe. Then on defense, about half their studs are underclassmen. Plus, next year's conference schedule avoids Montana State, Weber State, Eastern Washington, and Idaho. Maybe they die out in 2021, but next year's team will be very senior-laden with guys who have built this program into a legitimate force.

Interesting how the storyline shifts.

Furman looked bad against Austin Peay, lost big, and the storyline was how bad the SoCon sucks and how Furman didn't deserve to be there. Same team goes cross country and beats the crap out of the a Big Sky champ, and everyone is stunned.

We can quibble over whether Sac State's garbage time TDs are more impressive than Furman holding APSU to 7 points for a half, but the games looked largely the same.

My take is that everyone just underestimated how good this Governor's team is.

Absolutely. Also, I would add that Sac has not looked nearly as good the last several weeks. They started hot and fizzled and benefitted from an easier end of their regular season.

Also, Thompson has back problems and back injuries do not fully heal. He reaggravated this injury against Weber. I hate to see putting this kid down when is fighting through life altering injuries.

Third, the Big Sky is 3-1. 2 wins in dominating fashion. Not bad. :D

Sac State is, as I understand it, like Furman in that both are young teams with little playoff experience. Sometimes you just get bad games.

It's been my opinion all season that the FCS is an inch deep and a mile wide this year. Kennesaw giving Weber a tough fight on the road is further indication of that. APSU lost some real head scratchers and then obliterated the #4 seed.

I believe that there's a smaller talent gap between the #3 team and the #25 team than the #3 team and the #2 team.

I don't want to take anything away from Peay, they went in and took em down but you nailed it. There seems to be something in the BSC this season that any team that has a very high ceiling also seems to have a deeper basement than you would expect from a team that shows up so good so often. It is very weird and it has happened to each of the 4 BSC playoff teams this year once if not twice. Can not explain it.

The one thing I noticed right off the bat in that game, was that Austin Peay had a DEFINITIVE speed difference on both sides of the ball. I was shocked, to be honest. Sacramento St really didn't start putting points on the board, until the starting corners got hobbled with injuries.

You can go watch their games against Fresno State and Arizona State and you can see that they had real nice speed and Kevin Thompson was a beast. When I was watching the game last night the thought that kept going through my mind is that I would really have rather played the team on the field last night and the team on the field Midway through the season because it was not the same team. That is too bad and just a part of football and you have to weather the attrition.

The governor's were way too good of a team to not be playing near your best football and you guys made them pay for that.
