BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University football fell into a 20-0 hole less than 19 minutes into the game and never recovered in a 47-21 loss to South Alabama on Saturday evening at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

South Alabama (3-2, 2-1 Sun Belt) racked up 582 yards of offense — including 192 in the first quarter and 346 in the first half — to hand Appalachian State (1-4, 0-2 Sun Belt) the defeat in its first Sun Belt Conference home game.

South Alabama scored on four of its first six possessions to jump out to the commanding 20-0 lead with 6:26 to go in the first half. USA’s advantage could have been even bigger but App State blocked one field-goal attempt and the Jaguars missed another.

I don't often get this feeling, but I feel like we just might win this game.

[SuperJon]

We will play well because there's no pressure. This game means absolutely nothing except for Sun Belt bragging rights. It doesn't impact the current season so we will come out like world changers and have a great chance at winning.

That's in the Liberty Way isn't it?

[SuperJon]

Yep.

[flameshaw]

The sun might rise in the West next Saturday............................ but not likely. Would love to beat these guys but having our top two MLB's out really impacts our ability to play good defense.

[bluejacket]

App. State has not looked good at all.

[LUalum12]

We have the talent to win this game. It all depends on which team shows up.

[BJWilliams]

Be great to go into the bye week on a winning note and get some sweet payback on the mountaineers

[bluejacket]

We have the talent to win this game.

I agree. But I am not confident that we will do everything needed to win the game.

[bluejacket]

A good gameplan, strong effort by all aspects of the team, and few mistakes (penalties, turnovers, or missed tackles) and we will win the game.

[flameshaw]

Hope I am wrong, but I see another L. Too many injuries on D

[jcmanson]

App opens favored by 3.5

[Purple Haize]

App opens favored by 3.5

Wow. They're bad. That's basically a tie with home field being the difference

Indiana State was a bigger favorite.

[SuperJon]

App is baaaaaaad this year.

[jcmanson]

Here's a few scores from this year to consider:

App State 66
Campbell 0

Charleston Southern 34
Campbell 10

Charlotte 33
Campbell 9

Charleston Southern 47
Charlotte 41
(Overtime)

[Purple Haize]

In another thread I predicted that we would be in another 3 way tie for the Conf Championship with CSU and CCU. Looks like I'm not crazy.
But Campbell looks bad. Guess they can't get over the hump........too easy

[BJWilliams]

Is Kameron Bryant injured or did Lamb just beat him outright?

6 reasons the App State game is the most important of the season

[PAmedic]

the "our Superbowl" comment attributed to their fan was pretty funny

I don't know that ANYONE feels that way

if anything... we wanna leave healthy and ready for conf play

[PAmedic]

the disaster in the midwest 2 wks ago followed by that killer loss last week sucked the life right outta me. gotta admit

[Cider Jim]

From Manson's link: "They [LU] are expecting to come to Boone and win convincingly."

Really?

[LUminary]

Is Kameron Bryant injured or did Lamb just beat him outright?

Bryant is fine. Lamb was given the nod, opening some eyes after coming in against Michigan and leading a scoring drive of about 90 yards. His decision making is said to be quicker and better. Plus, he'll have three more years to play after this season. Decent arm, and not a bad runner. His dad is Bobby Lamb, former Furman head coach and player and current Mercer head coach.

I've been excited about this game for a while - lots of good friends from high school and church went to App, and one of my best friends played for the Mountaineers for the last 5 years. While they have been down this year and last, they have a storied program and would be a great win to get - essentially the North Carolina version of a win over JMU. Kidd-Brewer is in a beautiful setting, and hopefully the wet weather will hold off and give us a nice afternoon in Boone. Looking forward to heading up 421 and watching our guys get back in the win column! Go Flames!
