FOOTBALL Buster watch: Georgia Southern at Ark State, ESPN2, Wednesday 10/5

[SpaceRaider]

Ark State at home, winless, facing a team tough to beat...

and Buster feeling some heat, the Head Coach's defense of Buster leaves a lot to be desired.

"There's plenty of fault and I know everyone wants it to be Buster's fault, it's not just his. Nobody is harder on himself than him. I tend to believe you give a guy a job and you let him work at doing it and that is what we are trying to do but this is not a Buster Faulkner only issue.

They just beat a good Ga Southern team. Wow.

They just beat a good Ga Southern team. Wow.

In spite of five turnovers. If there is a contest for the least likable fan base, ga southern wins hands down. No contest.

I just saw the last 7 minutes...that was some ugly football.

The first thing that comes to mind, when I'm remembering Buster Ball, is the Illinois game. I counted at least 8 straight, 1st and 10, unsuccessful dive plays in that game.
This morning, the replay of last night's game was on, while I was getting ready for work. Arkansas State ran the exact same running play at least 5 straight times. It worked three times but was stuffed the last two times.

Arkansas State looks like it doesn't have any talent on offense.

That QB is bad, the OL was mauled all night, and Buster still hasn't figured out that you don't score points by running towards the sidelines, you actually have to put it in the end zone.

That defense suffocated the GASo option though.

I don't like Arkansas State and I don't like Ga Southern, so this was just about the perfect outcome.

Is the New Orleans Bowl in play this year? If so, I'd love to play App. State

 

[MTFNBY5]

Be careful what you wish for.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

I want no part of Appy state

 

[MidTnBlues]

We can handle App State. They have a stout front seven, but I think our O-Line would be good enough to move the ball on them.

 

[MTOleBlue]

AppSt is no good. I watched the whole game vs Miami ... yes, skill gap was there but they are pretty crappy - some big play capacity but really not all that

 

[SpaceRaider]

I happened to see some of the App State @ La-lafayetter game earlier this week. DNK what's happened to the cajuns but they were clearly not in the same class as App State. I'd have to say App State would probably be at or near the top of the standings in this conference.
