G8 Final: Louisiana 47, Arkansas State 43

[ManAboutTown]

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.

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

Highlight of the night was finally seeing Napier get in the officials ___ after that terrible interference call in the end zone. Lowlight was the upper deck running out of corona at halftime. I lost my voice. This team keeps it interesting till the end. Great win!!! 48 point swing from last year.

Any word on Mitchell? He took a heck of a lick and I don't remember seeing him come back in.

He walked off on his own. Probably concussion protocol. Have to go through the process and be cleared to return.

This team deserves better from the fans.

So proud of our men!!!!! Naps and staff coaching them up and our men never gave up. Cant say how proud I am with our team .

I agree, let's enjoy this win and understand that we control our own destiny.

My quick thoughts:

1. Offense is really good, when we give time to Nunez. If he feels any pressure, below average.
2. RB versatility makes this offense special. Need more speed on the edge in this game, so Calais and Mitchell excelled. Good game plan on utilization of correct backs.
3. Defense took a small step back this week, but this Arkansas State team is very fast on offense and is a bad match up for our current roster.
4. Hud's team crumbles after the Nunez INT and one big play TD. Love the way we answered there.
5. 7-5 is achievable at this point.

Now a question, if we win out, is it possible for us to host the SBC championship game ?

Only if Georgia Southern and Troy both have 2 conference losses and win the tiebreak over Appalachian State as the East representative. Good luck with that.

MAKE SOME NOISE!!!

Napier play calling has been trash

In retrospect, after 47 points were scored, do you still believe that?

I normally like rewatching the replay after attending the game, but I can’t find it.
