That's right. Some get upset if we are called Appy State. So we like to be called App-State, and Ap-uh-latch-un. And I have the up-most respect for your program, I saw the schedule this year and knew it was going to be rough the first 4 games.... Oh and by the way congrats on upsetting Marshall, most ASU fans love that...

9 hours ago, Dr Z said: How would you describe your scheme in the secondary? They will be challenged this weekend. I know the Mountaineers play a 3-4 defensive scheme but I can't pick up what they are doing on the backend from watching ESPN3. Our offensive line will have their work cut out for them stopping the pass rush. I really wish Warren Ball had a crack at their 3-4 front, I feel the size matchup would have been conducive to some broken tackles. It appears they are basically in a zone coverage, with a cover two look, our DC will move the LB's into coverage if need be, they are recruited for the position, fast but able to run stop and play coverage. The angle here is to keep every thing in front of them. Its prone to being beat over the top. Basic, but does well when its firing on all cylinders. LB's cover the gaps on run plays. Safeties take care of outside containment. Just couldn't do it against Miami. And our secondary is really young. Front 7 are stout. Hope that help Dr. Z.

Good Luck this Saturday, you guys have a really good team and this Akron Vs ASU match up is an interesting one. From an ASU perspective our team has been flat since the 2nd half of ODU, they may have been playing to just get the win. But with that being said against ODU and UM they were a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde bunch. What I see from Akron is consistency and solid execution which ASU is lacking right now. Example snapping the ball over our QB's head while on Miami's 2 yard line, multiple 15 yard penalties that takes them out of their drives. Then there's the consistent false starts at least 2-3 a game and they can happen even if its quiet. Then there's the inability to get the defensive calls in. Our guys get caught standing around after UM snapped the ball. Then there's our DB's peeking into the backfield while WR's run past our CB's time and time again in the ODU and Miami game. ODU sort of showed ASU's weak spots, Miami exploited them. All of this spells doom this Saturday for ASU. Its just too much to fix in 5 days. And I don't buy that UM caused all of these mistakes. I hope I'm wrong but I see Akron beating them like a drum and then maybe that will motivate them to execute going into Sun Belt play, they are not quitters just prone to mistakes. Either way ill be in Ohio this weekend as my wife is from that area. Hope to have a fun this weekend no matter the outcome. You guys are a classy bunch. Sorry for the bad spelling....
