Don't know why, other than I'm bored and glad the X is back up for all 5 of us. I knew Akron and State would be cake walks, but I was somewhat worried about Georgia State coming off what we all figured would be an emotional, physical game against Penn State. I had seen parts of their games over the last couple of years, and this program from the Sun Belt looked like they had some athletes. They also knocked off Tennessee at the start of the 2019 season, so I assumed this would be a little stiffer test than our first two opponents.
Ummm....yeeeeaahh.......NO!
Jawja State, who play their home games in the old Turner Field in the ATL, are 1-2. So far, the season has gone:
Army 43-10 L
North Carolina 59-17 L
Charlotte 20-7 W
They're averaging 11.3 points per game. They rush for 171 yards per game and pass for 119 yards per game. So, they're not good.
This is a game that means exactly nada, other than a chance to develop some depth. We may sleep walk through the first quarter and half, like we did against ASU, but my hope is that it's 35-0 by half and we turn it over to TJ Finley & Co. to finish it up. A trip to Baton Rude looms next week, and that game does mean something.
