[Death Dealer]

[GreatAppSt]

FG blocked, what else

Half time

[grizband]

Who gets the ball to start the 2nd half?

[AlphaSigMD]

ASU. NAU won the toss and took the ball

[Peems]

Who gets the ball to start the 2nd half?

ASU. But NAU's D has played pretty well lately. But they need to punch it. To get inside the 10 yard line twice and get no points is huge.

[grizband]

ASU. But NAU's D has played pretty well lately. But they need to punch it. To get inside the 10 yard line twice and get no points is huge.
NAU needs to take advantage of those opportunities to beat a team with the talent of ASU.

[AlphaSigMD]

Overall ASU has to be pleased with the current situation because we have had tough time of it.

Personally, I think it was a mistake to start Elder, even though he did well last week. There is a reason that Armanti replaced him last year, and if Armanti is 95% ready to go...lenior rhyne is one thing, but a good FCS opponent is different. He's struggled with his passes, and even though he has had bad field position, his decision making has not been the best....throwing into triple coverage, missing open receivers. He's struggling the same way he did in the 2005 national championship game to an inferior opponent. Plain and simple, ASU is not the same team when Trey Elder is playing. He's a good backup, but i think we need to see a little bit of armanti in the 2nd half to put this team away.

I credit our defense with making a critical stand inside the 2 yardline, and our special teams with the blocked punt. Lets try to put a hurtin on them in the 2nd half.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Deleware up 21-2 at 1/2 over R.I>

[AlphaSigMD]

Wow, how bad is Notre Dame this year. Don't get me wrong, I love the Irish...they're my FBS affiliate, but wow...Michigan 30- ND 0 at the half???

Crazy.

Hopefully clausen will pull it together and get something of a moral victory out of this....

I think the beginning of the game you could really see the difference between having Elder versus Armanti. But I think Elder started to play a little better. He seemed to be be able to make some throws, albeit he did make some bad decisions. We'll see if Armanti comes in, but I bet they stick with Elder. I guess we'll find out. here they go!!!

[Peems]

first down run by elder for 22.

[Peems]

Richardson runs for barely anything on first

[AZGrizFan]

Nice to see NAU puttin' up a fight. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

[AZGrizFan]

Oops...take those 3 off the board!

Put em back on.... we'll take 17-6. xnodx xnodx

[Peems]

NAU stops em on third. Penalty on the kick, re-kick comes, kick is good

17-6 ASU

[Peems]

Put em back on.... we'll take 17-6. xnodx xnodx

you're right. NAU is just a TD away from making it a really interesting game.

[Peems]

NAU ball on the thirty

[Peems]

Watson gets a ball finally but for no gain

[Peems]

2nd down run for a yard.

[kick29]

dig in oops edwards is where?

[AZGrizFan]

Crowd sounds really loud! xeekx

[Peems]

edwards is on the bench, not a 100 percent.

[Peems]

NAU punts, ASU has the ball around their own 34

[AZGrizFan]

Sounds like NAU might have woken up and realized where/who they were playing. xeyebrowx xeyebrowx

[Peems]

i stopped listening for a minute. Did Elder get hurt?

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Deleware over R.I> 28-2
UNH over Marshall 17-0

[AZGrizFan]

Jesus. They held them AGAIN.... xbowx xbowx xbowx

[texcap]

FG Appalachian. ASU 20-6

[Peems]

another FG for ASU

[AlphaSigMD]

Wasn't Elder the starter 2 years ago? Crazy how things change.

Elder has started 5 games in his career total i believe previous to this one.

1 as a freshman vs. texas state
1 in the 2k5 national championship (first half)
2 at the beginning of last year before the emergence of armanti edwards
1 against Lenoir Rhyne last week.

[Peems]

Pretty good field position for NAU, let's see what happens. Henderson runs for a first down.

Is anyone listening to the NAU announcers? the play by play game is great! xlolx

[Peems]

3rd and 3 upcoming.

[DaGriz]

1 in the 2k5 national championship (first half)

That explains it. I thought he was the starter that year.

[kick29]

yea elder is a good qb as i said i was just saying with his start he could start at most FCS schools this year hands down!

[Peems]

Henderson runs for 6 and the first down.

[SeattleGriz]

Pretty good field position for NAU, let's see what happens. Henderson runs for a first down.

Is anyone listening to the NAU announcers? the play by play game is great! xlolx


Yeah, they get pretty excited.

[kick29]

he is a quality guys if he could calm his nerves and figure out his game gitters, but he is good no biggie.

[Peems]

First down on a screen pass to Skyler Moore

[89Hen]

2 at the beginning of last year before the emergence of armanti edwards
I was not a fan of Elder from day one. IMO had you not found Edwards you wouldn't be nearly as good today.

[Peems]

Yeah, they get pretty excited.

excited is an understatementxlolxxlolxxlolx

[AZGrizFan]

I was not a fan of Elder from day one. IMO had you not found Elder you wouldn't be nearly as good today.

We'll go ahead and assume with your infinite football knowledge as a card-carrying CAA member, you meant EDWARDS, and not Elder. :D :D :D

[catbob]

TD NAU! Go Jacks!

[Peems]

2nd and 10. TD SKYLER MOORE!!!!

[AZGrizFan]

TOUCHDOWN, NAU!!!!!!!!!

[AZGrizFan]

What happened to 49-24? xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[ursus arctos horribilis]

man if they could get Watson going this would be an even berrer game.

[Peems]

To quote the NAU play by play guy

"Touchdown NAU AAAAAHHH" xlolx

[kick29]

no against nc state he coughed up everything and was nothing compared to williams but he at the time was the next best thing. I mean you have to keep yourself grounded when you talk about Qb's williams at the time was a runner and like edwards learned how to throw very well because when he gets hurt throws well. They are fighters and the kind that figure out how to propel their team to wins. Look at furman 2 years ago.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

The announcer for NAU reminds me alot of Mick Holien. Very excitable.

[AZGrizFan]

man if they could get Watson going this would be an even berrer game.


They're gonna kick themselves in the arse for not getting points on all those trips into the red zone....

And now the ASU guy returns the kickoff back to midfield... :(

[Tod]

Yeah, baby!!!

Go, NAU!

So much for the Big Fluffy Conference. xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

RIP

[89Hen]

We'll go ahead and assume with your infinite football knowledge as a card-carrying CAA member, you meant EDWARDS, and not Elder. :D :D :D
Sheesh you're quick on the draw, I edited 2 seconds after posting. :p

[AZGrizFan]

Sheesh you're quick on the draw, I edited 2 seconds after posting. :p

In my best Sgt Schultz voice:

I miss NU-THING!!!! NU-THING!!! Do you hear me? NU-THING!

[ursus arctos horribilis]

NAU needs a turnover or to get a cheap one somehow to make up for the early miscues.

[kick29]

NAU is respecable and very good in these situations so GO northern arizona!

[elkmcc]

Yeah, baby!!!

Go, NAU!

So much for the Big Fluffy Conference. xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

RIP

You said it Tod. This is a great game. Are you at home?

[AZGrizFan]

Yeah, baby!!!

Go, NAU!

So much for the Big Fluffy Conference. xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

RIP

Easy, killer. The game ain't over yet. xeyebrowx xeyebrowx xeyebrowx

Although I can hear it already: "Well, if we'd had Edwards, it'd have been a different story...If we hadn't shot ourselves in the foot with dumb penalties, it'd have been a different story....if...if...if....."

[89Hen]

Yeah, baby!!!

Go, NAU!

So much for the Big Fluffy Conference. xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

Score? xconfusedx

[Peems]

The color guy for NAU is pretty good and seems levelheaded compared to the play by play fellow

[Peems]

Score? xconfusedx

20-13 ASU

[AlphaSigMD]

What happened to 49-24? xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

Backup QB.

Plain and simple.

Without Elder's run first, overthrow 2nd mentality, ASU would have a few more scores.

[Peems]

1st and 25 for ASU at the the ASU 49

[kick29]

yea i agree... settle down and get into the game. :0)

[89Hen]

20-13 ASU
I figured NAU must be leading with all the crowing by BSC fans. xconfusedx

[Peems]

Dexter Jackson saves NAU!!!

[AZGrizFan]

If Jackson hadn't dropped that sure TD pass......if...if...if... xlolx xlolx xlolx

we'll take what we can get;)

[AZGrizFan]

I figured NAU must be leading with all the crowing by BSC fans. xconfusedx

Hey, as fluffy as our conference is, it should be 45-0 right now, right? xrolleyesx xrolleyesx xrolleyesx

[Tod]

You said it Tod. This is a great game. Are you at home?

No, Idaho Springs, CO. I'll be home Thursday for some well-deserved rest. :)

BTW, thanks for your help getting the job. xthumbsupx

[Peems]

3rd and 24 upcoming.

Elder sacked!

[AlphaSigMD]

Elder's gotta come out...

Hey, win or lose, this is a great game! Some respect, please. :D :D

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Wouldn't they put Armanti in if he could play with a game like this? You have to play with who you got.

[AlphaSigMD]

No way does Armanti go down like that...

[Ronbo]

Backup QB.

Plain and simple.

Without Elder's run first, overthrow 2nd mentality, ASU would have a few more scores.


That can't be used as an excuse. Everyone from App. has said the 2nd QB is just as good as the 1st team. No drop off. Why did ya'all say that?

[Peems]

Elder's gotta come out...

I don't know, is it worth it? No one knows how bad Armanti is hurt, if he had been healthy he would have started. What happens if he comes in and gets hurt worse and misses some of the conference season? Ride Richardson and your D to the win. But we'll see if NAU has something to say instead.

[89Hen]

That can't be used as an excuse. Everyone from App. has said the 2nd QB is just as good as the 1st team. No drop off. Why did ya'all say that?
IF they actually said that, they were delusional. Elder is no Edwards. xsmhx

[AZGrizFan]

That can't be used as an excuse. Everyone from App. has said the 2nd QB is just as good as the 1st team. No drop off. Why did ya'all say that?

They're just prepositioning their excuses....forward deployment, so to speak.... xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[Peems]

2nd down pass complete for 6

[WoCoTerrier]

Man, I can barely hear those crazy announcers talk its sooo loud.

[dungeonjoe]

They're just prepositioning their excuses....forward deployment, so to speak.... xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

poly wing closed-- spin has moved to FCS board---

[AlphaSigMD]

That can't be used as an excuse. Everyone from App. has said the 2nd QB is just as good as the 1st team. No drop off. Why did ya'all say that?

Doubtful.

Although he is a good QB and would start for 95% of the teams in FCS, he is not armanti.

[AlphaSigMD]

They're just prepositioning their excuses....forward deployment, so to speak.... xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx


You speak as if you were winning the game?

[Peems]

Doubtful.

Although he is a good QB and would start for 95% of the teams in FCS, he is not armanti.

maybe not NAU;)

[JALMOND]

I figured NAU must be leading with all the crowing by BSC fans. xconfusedx

As I was saying even before the season began, if NAU can stay within three TD's or less of ASU at Boone, it will definitely raise some eyebrows. Game is still close and the Jacks have a legit shot at it.

Good football is played west of the Mississippi, you know.

[Peems]

3rd and 5 upcoming.

[AZGrizFan]

You speak as if you were winning the game?

No. I speak as if you're preparing your excuses for a potential loss. xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx

Ya'll figured you'd be drinkin' moonshine by now out in the parking lot....well, not you MD, because you've already made it clear you don't leave until the final gun. xthumbsupx

[Peems]

Hillary stopped short on the reverse!!! Great job NAU!!!

[tralfangar]

Doubtful.

Although he is a good QB and would start for 95% of the teams in FCS, he is not armanti.

He's a good quarterback, but not for our offense. Good showing by NAU, but we're not known for shutting down offenses, we're known for outscoring them. Hope we meet in Chatty so we can shut you Griz fans up once and for all.

[Peems]

maybe the NAU defensive line is "vaunted" xlolx

Plus, i was responding to your scoff of my score.

[citdog]

K-rich takes it to the house.

i think i heard somewhere that he was a walk on!xsmiley_wix

Alright. I gotta go. Time to start tailgating at the ASU/San Diego State game....

Good luck to NAU the rest of the way! Make the BSC proud! xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx xthumbsupx xthumbsupx xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

That's a pretty good compliment. xnodx

[Pantherpower]

I like the NAU announcer. Brings a lot of passion to the broadcast!

[Peems]

That's a pretty good compliment. xnodx

I agree. I gotta say listening to the game, you don't even need the announcers, you can just listen to crowd and depending on what you hear, you know what has happened.

[Peems]

Well I'm done giving the play by play, I gotta go. Good job Jacks, just too much talent and too many mistakes.

[HiHiYikas]

Forced fumble by Cam Speer - Cortez Gilbert recovers, takes it back to the house - PAT good, ASU by 21.

how did NAU score that many points? does anyone know, cause i haven't heard much of the game

[AlphaSigMD]

I wish goasu.com was working better on my computer..ive had so many problems listening to the game...but ASU has come thru here at the end!

[AZGrizFan]

Gettin closer.

Oh, I knew I'd probably regret that post, but to be able to say it going into the 4th quarter was a pleasure in and of itself.

NAU did NOT embarass the Big Sky today. They acquitted themselves well, especially in a hostile environment. xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx

[AZGrizFan]

how did NAU score that many points? does anyone know, cause i haven't heard much of the game

They should have had twice that many. xeyebrowx

Way too many trips to the Red Zone for 13 points.

I'm not saying they should have won. In fact, they should expect NOT to win if they go into the Red Zone that many times and come away with field goals or NO points.

That may work against Western New Mexico, but it ain't gonna work against a quality opponent.

thanks! i love to listen to anyone other than ASU.

[AlphaSigMD]

Well, NAU certainly brought more to the table than I thought...but all in all, ASU pulls through with a hard fought W.

29 in a row in the rock. 17 in a row total.

[AshevilleApp]

They should have had twice that many. xeyebrowx

Way too many trips to the Red Zone for 13 points.

Maybe its just a good defense

[kick29]

i think that NAU will take care of business for the end of the year, even though they had a long day and along way home. They will do go grrreat the rest of the year.


a dawg fight is right and the fact that they stood up to app is a good thing.

i am happy that appalachian had a tough game it shows that they are human.

Definitely a good D. But when you miss a 19 yard field goal and get another blocked, you need some work on special teams. Those six points would not have made a difference, but NAU made too many mistakes to beat a team as talented as ASU.

[AshevilleApp]

I'm happy App had a tough game as well, they usually do have one at home per year (Wofford '06). As long as they pull it out.....

[Griz0383]

NAU played well enough to get some respect but is appeared both teams played a sloppy game! Coach Moore, was impressed with NAU and stated that NAU was the most athletic team they seen this year!!! What the hell happened to NAU's all american reciever??? could have been a more interesting game if he could find his hands and catch a few!!!!

[Appstate29]

Just got back, NAU played a great game, I was very impressed with their quaterback.

[T-Dog]

NAU played a great game. They need to convert their chances though. It could have been 21-7 NAU when it was 7-3 ASU due to missed chances.

ASU needed that kick in the butt. We came out very flat and NAU jumped on us. We showed what we could do under pressure today. NAU folded at times but never broke. I hope y'all win the Big Sky for obvious reasons.

[BigApp]

good job Apps!

[proasu89]

Kriesen runs for a first down on 2nd down. He's pretty good.

That's a understatement. He averaged 8+ yards a carry. Made the middle of our defense look softxoopsx The crowd may have sounded loud, and at times it was, but it seemed that the crowd was as flat as the team today. Never was any electricity in KBS todayxsmhx As someone else put it, very reminiscent of the Wofford game last year. It was great to rest and heal a banged up Armanti.xthumbsupx Trey is good, but anyone who say's he's as good as Armanti is just plain smoking crack.

[kick29]

yea i have to agree if edwards was playin it probably would have been 49-21

[feb18blacksunday]

Yea if Armani were playin a coupla of those runs would have been 6 points. Trey played a good game though. Managed the game well.

[james_lawfirm]

Maybe, maybe not. I just got back from the game. From what I could tell, the ASU special teams made the difference. NAU did have speed in the right places to match up with ASU's team speed. At times, it seemed like the teams were mirror images of each other (It's hard to play yosef.) (Ok, I will refrain from such poor humor for the rest of this post.)

I think NAU showed the FCS world how App might be beat. Like I said in an earlier post, IF a team can match up with App's team speed, it is possible. NAU had a good game plan, was well coached, had good speed in the right places, and made a real good game of it.

As far as whether Edwards would have done better than Elder - Perhaps. I thought Elder played a great game. I must agree with Steve Brown (ASU announcer), that while Elder was gaining 8 - 9 yards per carry, Edwards might have run for more. Elder had some perfect passes dropped by his usually sure handed receivers (hit them right in the hands).

One comment about the officiating. Has this crew actually seen a football game before? Judging from some of the calls, it sure did not look like it.

In any event, ASU won a tough game. NAU played well, showed good-sportsmanship, and gave ASU fits. I heard the ASU announcers comment that NAU was a "playoff" caliber team. I concur.

I got to listen to the 2nd and 3rd quarters and that was a heck of a game! NAU is definitely a tough team and will make some noise in the BSC this season. Great job Apps for keeping your head in the game despite a flat start.

[Peems]

I agree that NAU will be a good team this year, not looking forward to the Griz having to play in Flagstaff this year xeekx

[dbackjon]

Congrats to the Mountaineers for a great game!

Congrats to the Mountaineers for a great game!

Thanks, it was an exciting game, but not the sharpest game by either team. If either team had played it's "A" game they would have walked the dog in this one. Of course it's the oppostion's job to make the the other team look bad. It was fun seeing a team (other than what we learn on AGS) that we really knew nothing about. I hope ASU returns the favor in the near future. Thanks for making the trip NAUxbowx

[phillyAPP]

Congrats to the Mountaineers for a great game!

NAU has alot to be PROUD of. They game planned and executed very well. The coaching was great. Most of the players played with speed, guts, and smart. There quarterback is AWESOME. The only negative for NAU is #5 wide reciever who tried to taunt the crowd when NAU was losing. NAU coaching staff cut him off. NAU is as good as ANY team in 1AA. Could of beat us or anybody if they hadn't made a few mistakes. They are a few plays or players away from winning against anyone.

I want to thank NAU for having the guts to come to THE ROCK and giving us a wake up call.

[TheRock21]

The spread offense gives EVERYBODY fits. We got a taste of our own medicine yesterday. I'm here to give NAU credit for playing a good game. Would there have been a different outcome if Armanti was playing, who Knows?? NAU took me by surprise, most teams come to The Rock and deflate after the 2nd qtr. They will make some noise in the Big Sky this year. xbowx You've earned my respect!

NAU actually moved UP in my poll after the loss. xnodx xnodx xnodx

[mistersykes]

Quite a few mistakes were made by both teams! I already thought that NAU was capable of giving the Apps a run for their money, so this just confirmed it. It was a hard fought win, and I hope the Jacks opened some eyes! Thanks for coming to The Rock!xthumbsupx

[CatFan22]

Anyone have any pics of the fans/stadium at the game?
