First Down is back and he’s battle ready
Ben Jorden is ready to return to the big time! Actually, his big time isn’t as big as it used to be, and that’s a good thing. Jorden worked throughout the summer with Jeremy Boone, a strength-and-conditioning coach whose credits include work with the Carolina Panthers. “He helped me with my speed, agility and conditioning,” Jorden said.

Prediction thread – Jacksonville at App State
On paper JU is probably the … um … uh … less challenging foe on the App State schedule. It did enjoy a sweet win over Old Dominion last week, and has a four-game win streak dating back to last season. But we got two numbers for ya – 56-7. How ’bout this, over/under on [...]

We’ll see those missed PATs, raise ya a missed FG

Many moons ago, in the aftermath of the All Time Upset, we had the occasional fun pointing out all the new “App States” sprouting across the landscape of cliches. Thanks to an impressive double-OT surprise from Saturday, the meme is getting new life – Is Jacksonville State this yearā€™s Appalachian State? We’ve already noticed one irony from [...]

Our new hero knows the secret to his success
Thanks for the accolades, but the credit all goes to the front line and the divine. Presley completed 22 of 29 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns. He didn’t throw any interceptions and, like any good quarterback, he credited his offensive line. “I don’t think I was touched all day,” Presley said. “I’m really grateful, and I [...]
