CSN Dowd's Den: Week One – FCS Makes a Statement! Pt. 1
By Bruce Dowd, CSN Dowd’s Den Columnist

Well, I had a great opening weekend starting in Philadelphia on Thursday night and ending up in Durham, North Carolina on Saturday, with a stop over in Greenville, and then back home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on Monday; a lot of miles, a lot of good memories, and a ton of great FCS football.

what's the deal with releasing these articles in parts? I find it kind of annoying that the Dowd article, the CAA today article and the CSN way article all have "more to come".

From the Appalachian State side we had what you see in the picture above. I explained earlier in Part I how I like to be on the field to get a real sense of what is happening. I know the coaches and maybe even some of the players will disagree with me, but I noticed a lack of emotion from App State prior to the game. That look that was captured in the pictures above of Armanti, permeated through the whole team. He is App State’s key player, their leader, and the best player that the FCS has to offer. So if Armanti was even half as dejected as he looked, then it would only be natural to filter down to the whole team. Plus the team can’t help but think that without Armanti, they had very little chance of winning.

Interesting take on AE's body language and how his sulking might have brought down the psyche of the entire team.

A snapshot like that is just one moment of time, but if he was really pouting like that, that's poor leadership and Dowd may be right.
