Chattanooga appears to be the better team even with QB out and SoCon DPOTY Jay Person injured in early Q3. Austin Peay’s best player is their RB - tough runner and quick. Their defense not so strong.

Chatt FG kicker mis-hits mid range FG into his lineman’s butt. Austin Peay QB heating up throwing vertically. Chatt not bringing pressure this series. TD pass. 21-21.

The UTC backup is better than their starter. Difference in the game was turnovers. AP 4 UTC 0. Hate we have to beat a team we just beat but oh well.

If the backup is better than the starter, he'd be the starter.

If the AP player simply been satisfied with the interception and taken a knee in trhe endzone, the outcome may have been different.

Not necessarily.

100% he would be the starter.

FUBeAR attended the Gardner-Webb @ Mercer game on Saturday. Great time, as always, and a great SoCon win.

2 things though ... no beer sales in stadium and no replays on the video board.

Figured these must be NCAA rules as, typically, Fall Line Brewery runs a great concession inside Five Star Stadium and they CRANK that video board - too much sometimes, the lights can be a bit too distracting....but nope - no beer & no replays.

BUT .... then saw on ESPN+ that people were drinking beers in the stands @ the Chatt @ APSU game ... Don't know about replays at any other games ... so ... FUBeAR is a-wonderin'

1) Wicked Weed endzone going to be in full operation this Saturday? How bout beer sales in other outlets within the stadium?

2) Of lesser importance, but still curious, will any replays be shown on the video board?

Who's IN THE KNOW???

nope - WALLY PIP. coaches can't always foresee everything.

sometimes a guy comes in and is just better...

"Pipp is now best remembered as the man who lost his starting role (so Wally Pipp was the clear STARTER) as the Yankees' first baseman to Lou Gehrig on June 2, 1925, after experiencing a headache. This began Gehrig's streak of 2,130 consecutive games played, which stood as an MLB record for 56 years." - coaches thought Wally Pipp was better than Lou Gehrig.

Regardless there are HUNDREDS of stories like this. If coaches are so smart why wait until the 5th round to draft the best QB ever in Tom Brady ??? If coaches are so smart why waste all of your draft stock on Trey Lance and then end up playing Brock Purdy "Mr Irrelevant" - the LAST guy drafted?

Coaches MISS a lot.
