[bonarae]

Post score updates and final scores of FCS games here. :)

[The Cats]

Saturday, Sept. 26

Campbell at Appalachian State, noon (ESPN+)
Eastern Kentucky at The Citadel, 1 p.m. (ESPN3)
Stephen F. Austin at SMU, 7 p.m. (ESPN+)
Houston Baptist at Louisiana Tech, 7 p.m. (ESPN3)
Missouri State at Central Arkansas, 8 p.m. (ESPN3)

[FUBeAR]

Camels out-athlete & out-physical appys as they go on an 83 yd, 14 play, 7+ minute drive to paydirt & take a 7-0 lead with 4:40 left in the 1st. (all camel hooves intact)

appys answer with refs now allowing mountaineer o-line to grab & toss camels by jerseys/helmets/etc. #FBSPrivilege

Camels 7 appys 7 with 0:11 left in 1st

[FUBeAR]

The more athletic, more physical Camels come right back, hit a long pass, then take it in for another rushing TD...but, of course, the hoof assault begins as they miss their 4th XP in 2.3 games.

Campbell 13 - appy 7 with 11:23 to play in the 1st half

[FUBeAR]

Officials try to usher appys into the end zone for potential go-ahead score with bogus Targeting call on 1 of Campbell’s best Defensive Players in the red zone, but more athletic, more physical Camels still hold appys...even after a review of an obviously incomplete 3rd & 15 pass. appys / zebras alliance settles for 3.

Campbell 13 appys 10 with 3:32 remaining in the 1st half

[ElCid]

EKU goes up 7-0 over my Dogs in the first after we commit two silly penalties. Ugh.

[FUBeAR]

After hoof-mangling Intentional Grounding penalty on Campbell with under 2 minutes to play in half, appys given great field position and score go-ahead TD with 0:24 left in half.

17-13 appys up

EDITED / FOOTNOTE - for the 2nd week in a row, the Campbell Kick Returner just face-planted, untouched. How does that happen? Didn’t hurt ‘em this time as they just ran out the clock, but it’s awful funny to watch...unless you’re a Camel fan.

[ElCid]

EKU goes up 7-0 over my Dogs in the first after we commit two silly penalties. Ugh.

Make that 6-0 and now 7-6. They missed their point. Text book drive my Dogs. Run,run,run, 28 yard TD pass.

Just tuned in - looks like Colonels up 13-7 after 1 stanza.

[ElCid]

Just tuned in - looks like Colonels up 13-7 after 1 stanza.

Yeah we haven't been able to stop them yet. They haven't stopped us either, we stopped us. We have to clean up our penalty issues.

[FUBeAR]

Yeah we haven't been able to stop them yet. They haven't stopped us either, we stopped us. We have to clean up our penalty issues.
Yep - CIT fumble and Colonels go up 20-7 immediately.

[ElCid]

Not believing this. 20-7 now after we fumble and EKU gets the tip drill long ball for a TD. Geez.

[FUBeAR]

Campbell’s D quit once they went down 2 scores in 2nd half. Same appy team they stoned in 1st half is running at will - now up 45-13 with 9 minutes to play

CIT getting whomped by Colonels 30-14 @ 13:32 in the 3rd

So why didn't the more physical and athletic Camel players show up for the 2d Half?

Great question. Campbell D quit when they went down 2 scores.

The Camels have conditioning issues & appear to have cultural issues on D. Could be a depth problem also - always an 85 vs. 63 challenge that tends to show up in the 2nd half, as I’m sure you know.

Campbell closes out their Fall season with their 4th FBS game against Wake Forest & say they are not playing in the Spring. Their Players will definitely be better because of these 4 games and I’m sure they got a nice financial boost for the program.

They are talented. IF they can fix their propensity to self-destruct, and the issues mentioned above, they will challenge for the Big South title in 2021 & perhaps make some noise in the Playoffs. These issues, while BIG, are fixable.

[PaladinNation]

Man the Dogs are playing some inconsistent ball this fall… getting man-handled by the Colonels.

They’ve actually been pretty consistent. Bad on Offense & spotty on D - front 7 pretty good, but secondary has struggled. DB’s & A-Backs opting out / transferring out is really showing up & killing what they thought was going to be a great Team. They’ll be better in the Spring...but how much better?

Just threw a near Pick 6 as I was typing - EKU with ball on 4 & score 1st play...

37-14 Colonels with 6:22 to play

Good summary. FCS teams have frequently been challenged sustaining performance and matching depth through the 2nd half in FBS games. It will be interesting to see how playing several games in the Fall will compare to a 6-7 game FCS Spring schedule in terms of performance Fall of 2021. I think I'd opt for the FCS Spring schedule, but time will tell.

Luke Anthony the La Tech QB is a grad transfer from ACU. He is very familiar with Zappe and the Huskies, having started against them twice.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Huge punt block for a TD for Missouri State

10-0

[BEAR]

How do you make Mo State look good?
Play UCA.

Our OC needs to be fired.

Passes to the sideline is d2 playcalling.

NDSU will love their practice against us.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

UCA scores.

MSU up 10-7

[bonarae]

SMU 36, SFA 7 1:22 3Q

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I think the SFA game is more interesting

[Puddin Tane]

4 first half first downs? Its it raining? Snowing?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

MSU kicks a FG

20-7

[BEAR]

Can we take Breylin out the game now?

Did you see how frustrated his receivers are?!

[Puddin Tane]

Does zappe get another season at HBU? Dudes for real

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

UCA scores. Missed XP

MSU up 20-13

[BEAR]

So what! He’s either on or off.

Missed extra point. How do us.

[mvfcfan]

Hopefully SW Missouri State doesn't blow this one.

[POD Knows]

Missouri State sucks balls, they are who we thought they were. You don't win one game in 2019 and turn it around that quick, they stink.

[BEAR]

Hey Bison fans, please don’t start a game thread because it looks bad because it will be more like a practice thread. xlolx

[BEAR]

We need 13 and our OC calls a run play. Fire him

[POD Knows]

Hey Bison fans, please don’t start a game thread because it looks bad because it will be more like a practice thread. xlolxNah, if NDSU can get 200 yards in penalties, who knows what the score might be.

[Outsider1]

Our former QB destroys HBU. LA Tech takes the win: 66-38.

[BEAR]

Hold your horses! MoState puts 10 in the box and our OC calls a run up the middle. We fumbled it and we expect our D to hold out again. Ridiculous. I’m so sick of this.

SMU 50, SFA 7 FINAL

UCA 27, Missouri State 20 3:28 4Q

You guys like to keep it interesting but at least you walked away with the win...

[bwbear]

As I said on Facebook, I am just glad this season means nothing for playoffs...

App was down like 20 players today, so the depth argument shouldn’t be used in this case. They played a lot of freshmen and even switched a few people across positions.

[Schism55]

Mo State with the embarrassing implosion.
Couldn't happen to a bigger scumbag thankfully, F Petrino

[FUBeAR]

App was down like 20 players today, so the depth argument can’t be used.Yeah...OK...

Which 20 were out?
Were they all scholarship Players?
If not, how many were scholarship Players?
How many did Campbell have out?
Which ones?
Scholarship Players?
Full or Partial Scholarships?

Pretty sure the answer is “Dunno”....

...but this article tells us some of that story... https://journalnow.com/sports/college/asu/players-missing-from-app-state-depth-chart-for-game-against-campbell/article_77022502-0009-11eb-b348-bb14d42be31a.html

...says it’s 18 Players...by FUBeAR’s count, it’s 10 off the 2-deep....but that just raises more questions...

10 off the 2-Deep...OK...what is the usual number of Players that might drop off a 2 deep from week-to-week...I would bet it’s at least 4 or 5. Does that number increase, typically, when an FBS Team plays an FCS Team. I bet it does, in most cases. So, let’s say that delta is usually 3....Now we’re up to 7 or 8 being ‘normal’ and for App today, it was 10. Well, we still don’t know anything about Campbell’s depth chart changes or Covid issues. We could probably do some research & find some answers, but I think the point is pretty clear ...

the “depth argument” CAN be used any time an FBS Team plays an FCS Team.

Also - GREAT WIN today by the Former Furman QB Billy Napier-led Louisiana Rajin’ Cajuns!

Love to see Coach Napier being ably assisted on his Staff by Former Furman QB & Furman Head Coach, Bobby Lamb.

[Catatonic]

Does zappe get another season at HBU? Dudes for real

As I understand it everyone gets a covid/medical redshirt this year so Zappe will still have a year of eligibility. Whether he goes to the League, transfers to a FBS school or hangs with HBU for another year is open to question.

Pretty sure P5 schools would be lining up to offer him scholarships and his NFL draft resume Is looking better each week,

[SFA 93]

The Camels are on the radar

I agree it does seem like they have some talent and are building on something there

And good on them for finding a way to play some games
