The only folks that didn’t perform tonight was this weak ___ fanbase.

The defense actually played better today than last week. This A State offense just has home run hitters all over and defense was put in plenty of bad spots today. Gave up 40, actually deserved about 24, which is always going to be good enough to win with our offense.

I’m very impressed by the effort all the way around. Over fame adversity and just beat a more talented team. Like someone mentioned, the matchups were all against us. Defense played their guts out. OLine was spectacular tonight.

Band was also very much involved and halftime show was excellent.

I don't know if I'd say they played better but I loved that they played together. You rarely saw one person tackling a ball carrier. The defense flew around even though it was on the field a LOT. We just don't have the athletes out there right now to be able to out and play tough defense for an entire game.

To me, the key is when we blitz. When we did, Hansen was pressured, hurried and sometimes sacked. When we didn't, he had all the time out there to make throws. We need to be aggressive game in and game out. It will yield big plays but its the only way we can make the passer make mistakes.

That was a great game. Our offense is a blast to watch. I think some of you hit on it... our defense didn't do much as have a bad game as they were up against a very good offense. I couldn't find a single weakness in the A State offense. Great game. This was a hugely pivotal game. I see it not only as a season changer... it's a program changer. Napier has something to move this program with.

What a beautiful day. I understand, from moving around the tailgates, and moving through the stands, the fan base is in a lag. I wouldn't keep admonishing them. It may be how you feel, but it's completely ineffectual, and counterproductive. When a program is in rebuild... and this program is... with our history of underperforming in the wake of giant hype... you cannot expect more than what you see from fans and students. The good news is... as Napier keeps progressing... and winning... the fans and students will arrive in larger numbers. It won't happen until it happens.

A State can pocket protect. And Hansen is a very good QB. I think our defense played their butts off. They were up against a strong offense.

Lol, we scored 47 points and there are play call complaints. Ragin pagin baw.

I think ASU fans would tell you otherwise about their protection. The game against App State, Hansen was on his ___ all game with a 4 man rush. We just don't have the pass rushers in there without Manac and Dillon to get pressure consistently without some sort of blitz package.

I said it last week that the matchup this week was worse for our defense than App State was. Our pass defense is pretty bad and they are much more skilled there and it showed. We made the plays when we needed to though and our kicker is a weapon.

what complaints?

[Crawfish]

Maybe the fans are waiting for somebody to blow smoke up their ___ like Hud did. Napier is about results, not hype. I think the fanbase is just weary of what happened in the last few seasons of Hud and it will take a year or so of winning before they buy in again. I think the administration can help to motivate the students to come back. We have a crap load of marketing people now; you would think they could do that much.

Yeah I can't find it. I usually go browse-college football- then scroll til I find it. But it's not there. But they have "crap college vs sack state replays."

Is the problem with espn or did we USL the feed? I kept hearing the Official say the replay system was not working. Irregardless, ESPN+ sucks balls. Why do I need two different app on my phone just to watch plus. I'll be canceling plus and deleting the app after football season is over

Well, if you enjoy watching basketball, I'd reconsider. We'll have a lot of games on there.

Right now there are no replays listed from last night on ESPN+. That makes me really angry as I am I am not getting what I paid for.
