Couple of notable upgrades for Benton and Fugitt on the injury report, but Alex Mitchell will be missed. Could be a war of attrition on Saturday.

@ProfessorSayi Official explanation said 40 wasn’t early. No mention of a tip, nobody credited with a PBU. If you have a good video, happy to be corrected.

Limited replies because getting cursed at online by strangers isn’t how I choose to spend my time. Game is over, it’s not that serious.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

App heads into Huntington as 2.5-point favorites. Don’t know exactly what’s going on with Marshall but I found that…surprising after what I saw in Boone two days ago.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

@Dylanpierce83 Def not a PI if it was deflected. Hard to see much in full speed from that angle. My issue is that the refs’ postgame explanation was that 40 didn’t get there early.

Not sure it mattered anyways. You’re at the half yard line, run the damn ball.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

For the “watch the whole play” crowd. Gets there early, no attempt to turn his head. Either way, pass from the 1/2 yard line and that’s the risk you take.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

Most blatant DPI you’ll ever see. How does the official standing five yards away miss that?

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

Incredible INT by Devon Key.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

@gsupantheralum Great game, y’all earned it. Belt to ass.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

Getting out classed by Georgia State or getting out coached by Dell McGee, I’m not sure which is more embarrassing.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

After the ODU game, I never could have imagined that was not the low point of the season, but here we are. All I know is I cannot justify another weekend trip to watch this, which is deeply disappointing.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

Quality win to start the season, impressed at the energy these kids brought but man, a 6am tip on YouTube with a live chat full of degenerate gamblers perfectly sums up where we are right now. #TakeTheStairs

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

@cbarrier90 ODU was malpractice, needed a heavy dose of Hasselbeck to grind the clock and beat a really bad team in those conditions. Better opponent and personnel limitations, I wouldn’t put this up there with that game.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

Well, this game has sucked. Down three starting offensive linemen and it shows. GS is strong on the DL and there’s just been no time to do anything on offense. Tip your cap and regroup.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

“Our two game conference losing streak further proves we are above this conference” is the most perfectly on-brand JMU take possible. No notes.

[Savage Duke Dog @SavageDukeDog]

Watching the entire Sun Belt try to dunk on JMU for being 7-2 (both losses in OT) is the greatest self own. It justifies JMU’s decision to leave & the American’s decision to say “no thanks” to the rest. See ya Sun Belt, your top brand is heading out!

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

Four quarter games on a Thursday night, one week apart. 😳

[Jack Fitzpatrick @fitzalltheway]

*gulp*

This feeling is all too familiar. And now in a close game the stands have emptied

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

Fugitt doubtful and Grant out stings, but losing Devon Manuel for the season is an absolute gut punch. Having a first team all conference type of season at LT. Massive loss.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

This is an awesome account of Thursday’s game. Definitely saw things I missed from my seats and some cool sideline access.

Man, did Malachi and Phares absolutely ball out.

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

Far better ooc options indeed

[Chris Liles @louisa_cliles]

@JMUGameday What is this obsession with wanting to be associated with this low class operations and fans in Boone....no thanks, hard pass.....odu, Marshall, liberty far better ooc options without having to deal with low class folks

[Mike @AppStateMike83]

I have no idea what’s going to happen with conference realignment but the App State-JMU series going away is criminal. Everything good about the sport: two proud programs in the same region who sell out their stadiums. It needs to be revived, one way or another.

What an incredible night, #AppNation!

Fireworks, from start to finish 🔥
