Fake attempt no good. ASU ball after dodging a bullet.

Presby has a shaky kicker and it's hurting them tonight feeling the need to make decision like that.

[ASU88]

What is up with our defense?

They'll play one series really well and then they seem to take the next series off. Poor tackling, penalties. Giving up big plays.

Worried about them as the SoCon schedule gets going.

Everyone aware of the Georgia-Alabama game? 31-0 Bama at the half!

ASU stuffs this PC possession and takes over at the ASU 49. A score here would open up some breathing room (if you're not playing JMU.)

[AppGirl]

App ball on the PC 25. Armanti hit hard. Still down
Up now, limping off

[ASU88]

AE finally breaks off a long run. Sounds like he took a bad, awkward shot to the head at the end of that play and he's down.

Nows he's up being helped off the field with an apparent ankle injury.

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now back to FCS football. Whazzup with u guys?? This is Presby!!!! Put them away!!!!

[ASU88]

Does it look bad?

I'm listening and they thought he went down at a bad angle. They were thinking head, but he got up favoring an ankle, which would be very bad for AE's game.

No follow up yet.

[ASU88]

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now back to FCS football. Whazzup with u guys?? This is Presby!!!! Put them away!!!!

Putting them away right now (I hope).

34-14.

[alexale23]

better hope AE is ok

Any1 watchin game on tv

Did he look hurt bad

[Death Dealer]

Putting them away right now (I hope).

34-14.
Good!! I was starting to worry!

AE ok?

[AppGirl]

Just listening. We put the kick-off through the uprights after the late hit flag from the TD assessed on the kickoff

[ASU88]

No follow up on AE yet. I'm surprised they're not on that or at least saying WHY they don't have any further info.

Presby has a nice offense. I'd heard their QB was good and he's played well. Almost 300 yds and a TD so far.

Incomplete on 3rd and 12. Going for it on 4th.

Pass complete right at the 1st down marker. Need a measure to see who gets the ball.

Just short and ASU takes over.

[AppGirl]

Still working on AE's left ankle. Taped it, unwrapped it, taped it again with something different. Doesn't appear to be in too much pain. No official word. All this per the sideline guy.

End of 3rd quarter

[ASU88]

Radio crew finally gives some ino on AE. They are working on him on the sidelines. Taping and re-taping his anke.

He doesn't appear to be in a lot of pain ... maybe he was just trying to stop the clock. xlolx

[ASU88]

Big play from Pressley to B. Jordan inside the 10.

Radford inside the 5.

Pressley in for the TD!!! His 1st career TD. Won't be his last.

back-up QB seems to be playing well.

[ASU88]

back-up QB seems to be playing well.

I'd heard him described as an AE clone, which is rediculous, but when I saw him vs. Jax he didn't look too good.

Seems to be playing better so far tonight.

[AshevilleApp]

Man we have a deep running game crew - AE, Welton now Radford

[ASU88]

Cortez Gilbert with a pick ASU ball!

Radford getting a lot of work tonight. They are now saying Welton got "dinged up" with an ankle earlier in the game.

Nice time to bring that up.

Radford 16 for 169 tonight.

Cedric Baker has a nice run followed by a fumble. PC ball.

Baker runs to the 30 and doesn't fumble.

Pressley runs to the 16! He's got it going tonight.

Armanti says it hurts, but he doesn't know what he did. Wrapped and on ice.

Once again, a tale of two halves, although it's reverse this time and we're better for it, although with our secondary like it is, we're in trouble.

[proasu89]

Chicken poop stinks. xnodx

According to Jerry Moore, Armanti will miss one or two PRACTICES at most and be ready to go for Homecoming vs El Citadel.

[HighRyder08]

AE was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain i believe and should be back next week... no worries

[McNeese75]

AE was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain i believe and should be back next week... no worries

Good luck if it is a high ankle sprain. That injury seems to linger for a long time.

[T-Dog]

Honestly, we're going to move up to #2 next week (from #3), but we don't deserve it IMO. I seriously doubt Montana at #4 leapfrogs us to #2, #5 UNI lost and I seriously doubt #6 McNeese or #7 UNH jumps all the way to #2. We're just fortunate.

El Cit should move up (currently #13) so next week App will be under a huge microscope to see how we do.

[elkinftball2002]

great crowd tonight. Looked sold out even with the rain

[thmst30]

Just got back, 1st half was UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLY, UGLY, UGLY, UGLY, UGLY, UGLY. Even Jerry Moore said it was the first time EVER that he called his team awful, and it was well deserved. Damn, the 2nd was refreshing because we played so much better in every way possible. However its still unsettling to see us struggle that much against PC for an entire half. Presley looked damn good compared to his performance against Jacksonville. Welton and Radford are going to be a monstrous 1-2 punch for us all year. Honestly losing Devon doesn't mean much except for a little less lack of depth. These two are very talented. More dropped passes by the WRs though, the whole WR corp has been pretty bad all year, that needs to change NOW as we head into SoCon play. Next week will be a huge test for us, and we certainly may lose pretty easily. However this team has also shown that they may win next week easily. Which side will show up?

[T-Dog]

My post seemed really glass-half-empty for a 34-point win, but it was a lot more than a 34-point win.

Halfway through the 3rd quarter, when it was 20-14 on 3rd down, Presby passed the ball to the endzone and it went through the WR's hands. Two inches from Presby taking the lead (PAT pending). Then on 4th, when they faked the FG and passed it into the endzone, if their receiver didn't fall down, who knows?

That was the most aggravating 34-point win ever. Presby most the time passed it at will against our secondary. We stepped it up at times and did get 4 picks, but besides that, it was ugly.

We did step it up eventually and get the job done, but with SoCon play starting next week and El Cit coming, it was scary for two and a half quarters tonight.

[BullDog85]

good point. but how many yards did app's OFFENSE put up? (without AE for over a quarter) citadel is going to have to outscore asu, at the rock, on homecoming.

Yeah, but we had 4 INT's as well. xthumbsupx Our secondary tonight was hot and cold. Moslty cold though we had our moments.

[bench]

My game notes:

* DeAndre actually looked pretty good after Armanti went down. In limited time he looked more like Armanti than Armanti has so far. He wasn't that impressive against Jacksonville, so it looks like he's progressing nicely.

* I know it was wet early on, but we had a bunch of drops and a couple of fumbles. Hang on to ball, y'all.

* We have a really good corps of running backs. Injuries have forced us to use a "by committee" approach up to this point, and there isn't a dud in the bunch. They're all hard runners with good speed.

* The secondary is young, and it shows, but the soft zone the coaches insist on running is setting them up to fail. The corners are playing ten yards off the receivers at the snap, settling in too deep to cover flats and not deep enough to cover a post - really, about the only play they can defend is a 12-yard out route. PC could have gained at least six yards a play all night long with WR screens.

* Speaking of soft defense, we really don't like to blitz. Ever. Sending four didn't create a lot of pressure, and their QB had time to set and throw against our green secondary. I could be wrong, but I think a more aggressive approach up front would help our DBs. A rushed throw is more likely to be a bad one, either in the wrong spot or to the wrong man, or even both. I'd like to see them mix it up by sending five or six on occasion and see what happens. We're either going to have to play man coverage and jam receivers at the line to give the four-man rush time to get to the QB, or send a safety or a linebacker or two. Rushing the front four alone just ain't cuttin' it.

* Special teams...still need work.

Much better second half than the first. Still looking forward to seeing them put a full game together. They're young, and they're going to get better as the season slogs along. The potential is there, but the execution better not be too far behind.

[PhoenixPhan06]

It looks like the injuries to some key personel on defense caught up to the Mountaineers this weekend. Thier offense as we all know was strong enough to pull away though.

[Skjellyfetti]

That was the most quiet I have ever heard the stadium.

We have got to improve in the secondary and in our passing game to have a chance at competing for a conference title or making a deep run in the playoffs. PC receivers were too wide open for most of the game.

I think the lack of a deep play receiver is hurting our offense as a whole. That group really needs to step it up as we get into Socon play.

Luckily we played much better on offense and defense in the second half. Devin Radford had his best game and Welton/Radford will be a great combo this year if we can get the passing game going.

I hope Armanti is ok... and next week against a Citadel will be interesting to say the least. Looking forward to it.


That was the most aggravating 34-point win ever.

And that pretty much sums up my feelings on the game.

ill agree, i was pissed at times. however, we'll all take an aggrevating win by 1-100 over a hard fought lose by 1-100 any day.

we got work to do, but its early.

It is early and I hope my post didn't sound like I felt the sky is falling.

We have problems on offense and defense. They can be corrected-- no doubt about it.

I was worried about our run defense most of last year... but they ended up as a solid unit and made plays when it mattered at the end of the year. I think the secondary will gel eventually. But, we start conference play this week and if it's going to start clicking it needs to be now.

Also, great game by Presby-- I believe there are some PC posters on this board and I was impressed with your QB and your receivers. Good luck to y'all the rest of the year1

[jonmac]

I didn't like hearing it so quiet on the broadcast. I know it's easy for me to say because I don't get to many games but our fans have to realize that there are going to be bad plays, good play by the opposing team in every game. Those are the times that we still need to be cheering. I never want to see us get to the point that we so expect to win that we get that deer in the headlights look and can't utter a word. The tough times are when the team needs us the most. Let's keep cheering hard, quit the mumbling in the stands and let the boys know we're still behind them, no matter what.

No there are some BIG holes in App State's secondary as all 4 starters are new. Our D-line isn't helping them out any as they put zero pressure on the PC QB until late in the game with a big lead. I was very impressed with the kid from Rock Hill last year. he's a big, strong kid with a good head on his shoulders. Plus, in my opinion, Kevin Higgins is one of the best coaches in the FCS.

It would be suicide vs most teams with our what is now 3rd string DE's starting and a freshman CB. Opponents would love us for it!

I agree that we don't blitz much but it appeared that the majority of PC's throws were the 5 to 15 yard variety and the linebackers were needed to cover those. Still didn't do a great job but imagine if they had been turned loose. And some of that may have to do with our young DB's.

[AppStateold299]

Our Defense has some growing up to do very soon or we will have a long disappointing season. It is difficult to step into a situation with so much youth, but this is what we have to do. There is huge pressure on these guys and expectations demands perfection. I am optimistic that our boys will man up and do better.

What keeps my optimism high is that last year at this time were wondering how in the world we would win the conference with our poor run defense. That turned out pretty good, I think. xsmiley_wix

Yeah, we still have a long way to go until we can compete at the national I-AA level. Depth and defense will continue to be issues for another few years. Granted, this year's schedule's light years tougher than last year's, but we have to continue to get better. Defensive performances like the one last night are unacceptable. But things will get improve with increased scholarships and recruiting talented players to give us some depth. We're on our way but we're obviously not where we need to be yet. Now it's time to shake off the Southern Conference losses and focus on NGU and the Big South.

You guys have really impressed me so far this season. Especially in the first half last night. I listened to the game on the radio and I was just surprised how well you guys made it a game. I honestly thought it was going to be a blowout in the first half and not like it was.

Depending on how you guys recruit - you should be a force to reckon with in the near future.

[Hoseinexile07]

BTW, what's the real scoop on the nickname? Is it Scots-Irish or stockings? Be honest now.

We got the nickname because our football team started wearing blue socks one year. We didn't have a mascot at the time, so people started referred to us as the blue stockings. I'm not sure how or why it got changed to "hose," but by the fifties it was our mascot.

The whole Scottish thing comes into play because Clinton and the surrounding area was settled by Presbyterian Scottish and Scots-Irish immigrants and their descendants. Apparently there is also a historic connection between the color blue and the Presbyterian Church, but I'm not sure what. Perhaps this is because Calvinist theology formed a large part of Scottish identity. After all, the Scottish flag is blue.
