The boys from Boone have the matchup edge as well having won the last 5 meetings between the two teams

Considering how long it's been since the two teams played, I'm not sure how relevant this statistic is.

MORE important, I think, is:

App redshirted half their team this year. They will be significantly better next year.

They couldn't be much worse

Thanks for that info Jon...that reinforces my feeling that while we won't get stomped in the game, if there was a Vegas line on this matchup, we would be on the plus number.

But you just said we'd 'be out of it' sort of a huge difference between that and having a plus number in Vegas.

Isnt the underdog on the plus number on a Vegas line? Anyway, I probably should clarify what I mean when I said out of it. What I meant was that those are games that you can chalk up as losses right away. Now, that said, even though I am immediately chalking those up as losses, they aren't going to be 3-5 TD curbstompings like you may occasionally see in FBS/FCS matchups. At most I would go with 2 TD in both of those games.

95% of all games have a team with a plus number, Mr Vegas. You don't bet in Vagas by who will win and who will lose. I'm sure we will be the under dog in the game at App St but it does not mean I think we are "'out of it" from the get go, like you do. UNC, yes barring a scandal that makes half their team ineligible

According to AGS, Southeastern Louisiana (2013 Quarterfinalist) is looking for a game after Samford bought out their return game from this past season.
