Defense and special teams were solid but without Willis and (healthy) Douglas and Davis we don’t stand much of a chance next week. RBs can only do so much. Worried about next year when Willis and Douglas will be gone. Hopefully, we can bring in 1 or 2 top JCs / transfers...

I'm trying to figure out how you throw 37 passes for 79 yards?

Hurt vs LaLa...I don't think he saw action last week, he wasn't even dressed this week. In his post game presser, CNB indicated he hoped he would be good to go against App, he wan't nearly as optimistic about some of the ones who got hurt today (Douglas, I suspect, based on the way he came off the field not even touching his right foot to the ground). He said he and the staff will start tomorrow developing a plan to utilize the guys who are able to play Injuries have killed us this year.

Willis played last week, 3 catches 57 yards. I’m gonna bet he plays next week. I think we see several players back in full force next week.

So on OFF we are missing these key players / starters - we need more depth. Defensive depth is fine but we have no depth on offense.
QB Barker out for the season WRs Willis, Douglas, Davis, Eafford all injured (our top targets) TE Letton, suspended - what’s his status? WR Samuel, suspended, no longer with the team RB Henderson, suspended, no longer with the team OL Kelley, injured

Considering the youth, injuries, and loss of players this very well may be the best coaching job by this staff so far.

Could possibly redshirting him only played in 4 games so far.

We have depth on offense Neal just can't call plays correctly. He got Douglas injured yesterday on that dumb screen that he so loves to call that never works. That's why Willis didn't play yesterday because of that stupid screen against Ga Southern. We have depth...its called a roster. Look on there we have players. Gotta learn how to be the head coach and let the play calling go that's why the offense is stagnative. He doesn't have the juice anymore...

Most teams would have hard time overcoming those kind of losses. Still ... if you play good defense (and we are playing at highest level of the season) and solid special teams, and don't turn the ball over/have penalties ... you Always have a chance!! Coach was conservative ... but there also some drops and Smith wasn't his best. We'll need his best Saturday for sure ... we can't count on App to give us 6 takeaways. What a great opportunity these kids have to do something historic! Can't wait to be there Saturday!

Looks like Sumpter may be our Offensive Player of the Year as well as Special Teams Player of the Year. Would likely be another "First" for this program.

With the way our D played yesterday, we could beat App St 7-6! that would be fine with me
