Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
Missed extra point away from taking it.
Oh well.
The consensus will be that Tennesseee is trash. But, they'll still win the SEC East, imo.

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
I watched more of the App State game than I did of the Carolina game. App looked good against Tennessee. Was that a targeting call I missed? I stepped away and something happened. I didn't care to look into it any further.

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
Yep, blatant targeting by UT. Poor clock management late and a freshman kicker kept us from putting them away. I'm not sure if this result means we're a top 25 team or that Tennessee isn't.Ibanez wrote:I watched more of the App State game than I did of the Carolina game. App looked good against Tennessee.

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
I chalk it up to 1st game jitters and mistakes. Like Carolina last night. Their starting QB seemed scared in the 1st half. Orth did a decent job. The line was making stupid mistakes. Orth, IMO, won the battle to be starting QB but that game was close. Luckily, a 55 yd FG clinched the win.ASUG8 wrote:Yep, blatant targeting by UT.

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
Tennessee didn't know what hit them and was clearly out played. Granted, UT didn't play very well, but App is legit. Take away the kicking woes and you win.ASUG8 wrote:Yep, blatant targeting by UT.

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
Yup. Just like CSU last week, the bad kicking cost them the game. But they were legit for the entire game.Baldy wrote:Tennessee didn't know what hit them and was clearly out played. Granted, UT didn't play very well, but App is legit. Take away the kicking woes and you win.ASUG8 wrote:

I watched almost every minute of that game, was very entertaining. Great job App, too bad they couldn't close the deal.

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
Tough break for App. We've been through that feeling three times in the last two seasons all with Power 5 teams that made bowls.
How much longer before CUSA realizes they made a big blunder bringing in "media marketz" instead of good programs? Or are they already there?

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
I think the UT coach feels the same way, he made sure he cam and talked tot heir team after the game, was pretty cool.hitchinaride wrote:Very impressive performance. Was rooting for App all the way. Nothing to hang the head about.ASUG8 wrote:

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
Sun Belt came within a whisker of going 2-0 against the SEC opening weekend. Bad week for the SEC Superiority Complex overall. But that's a topic for another thread I guess.
Won't matter anyway. SEC fans have short memories when game outcomes don't support the conference being as superior as they think it is.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
SEC critics like to latch on to every loss of all of the lesser teams, but right now there's not an FBS conference that can really say they're better.JohnStOnge wrote:Sun Belt came within a whisker of going 2-0 against the SEC opening weekend.

Every Power 5 league took a loss to a non-P5 team this week. Obviously Tennessee is not quite as good as advertised, but UGA and Texas A&M look like they could pick up the slack.

Re: Sun Belt Thread 2017
UGA will disappoint their fans like they do every year. Then it will turn to basketball season where disappointment is even more expected. UGA has an underachieving program.Pwns wrote:SEC critics like to latch on to every loss of all of the lesser teams, but right now there's not an FBS conference that can really say they're better.JohnStOnge wrote:Sun Belt came within a whisker of going 2-0 against the SEC opening weekend.

Will still win the East and finish top 10, imo.
Not Georgia.

Conference USA. You remember. That's the conference that has gone 10-1 against the Sun Belt in head-to-head games since the beginning of the 2014 season.Baldy wrote:Who?CAA Flagship wrote: As did CUSA.
