What’s Going To Happen

Didn’t you used to be Appalachian State?

This is supposed to be the star of the Sun Belt, with a smart, solid defense to go along with a veteran quarterback and great running game. But all of a sudden, the Mountaineers can’t seem to stop anyone.

They’re going to end up being bowl eligible – they’re not going to lose their final three games – losing at UMass and at ULM isn’t a plus for a program and a team that should be hitting its stride right now.

Fortunately, that’s what Georgia Southern is for.

The Eagles are trying.

They might be winless, but they’re trying some new things, with QB Shai Werts – who, at times, couldn’t throw a forward pass without things going very, very wrong – connected on 22-of-28 throws against Georgia State.

But this is supposed to be about the running game for the Eagles. The option offense isn’t getting it done, but now might be the time to try against that suddenly-shaky ASU D.

But this is the week the Mountaineers get their groove back.

The offense will get a good, sharp performance from QB Taylor Lamb – who was fantastic in the loss to ULM – and the defense that couldn’t stop ULM or UMass from throwing won’t have any issues.

Georgia Southern will run for 200 yards, but it won’t be nearly enough.
