The CAA Today: The Championship Game!
Bruce Dowd, CSN columnist

In what I had hoped would be a classic showdown game, a game that would highlight this level of football, one that would make us all proud of the FCS, the game ended up being anything but. In what could only be viewed a good game by Appalachian State fans and Alum and perhaps Southern Conference fans, App State dominated Delaware in a penalty and instant replay filled, and somewhat unforgettable, sloppy game. This concluded App State’s march through the CAA South as they captured their record breaking third straight National Championship.

AE did this.......All he did in these playoffs was throw for 727 yards on 50 of 70 passing and eight touchdowns with no interceptions, to go with his eight rushing touchdowns and 660 yards on the ground with no lost fumbles.

HOLY CRAP.

Flacco did this........All he did in these playoffs was throw for 1,088 yards on 80 of 151 passing and six touchdowns with no interceptions, to go with a rushing touchdown.


WOW.

Let's pretend Dr. Emmett Brown dropped by the week before Chattanooga and told you Armanti would have (by his standards) a pedestrian performance, with under 100 yards rushing and 200 passing, ASU's defense would give up 430 yards of offense, App's special teams would give up a kickoff return touchdown, and Flacco would throw for over three bills. Who would you have thought was going to win?

What Doc didn't tell you was Kevin Richardson, Devon Moore, and Trey Elder would combine for 250 yards rushing, and App's defense would somehow manage to only give up two offensive touchdowns mixed in with all that yardage.

It's telling that Delaware's gameplan was able to reasonably contain Armanti's destructive powers, but still lost by four scores. Nothing they could have done would have changed the result. I honestly believe the outcome was preordained; the Mountaineers were Destiny's children. Delaware had a better chance of whipping the sun in a fistfight.
