Its going to be a great atmosphere, great crowd.. Coach (Shawn Clark) has done a wonderful job at App. His guys are well coached. They've got a really good quarterback and offense. App State is very good at their RPO game. They've got a lot of screens when they throw the ball. Then they've got a lot of deceptive plays off of those same looks. On defense, they've been running that system for awhile. They know exactly what they're doing. They're really tenacious...good players on every level.

This is our first Sun Belt game. I don't think anybody in the Sun Belt is going to run the table. They did a lot of good things and were able to create some explosive passes against Vanderbilt. Everyone talks about their passing game. But, they've been able to run the ball. But, they've got some good running backs and a really big offensive line. They do a lot more than just pass. They’re also very effective at running the ball. On defense, really big front. Active defensive line.
