Fans had so many jokes about App State’s Cure Bowl win amid rainy, messy chaos

College football fans loved the Cure Bowl’s slippery madness.

Well, somehow, we made it to the end of a very wet and slippery Avocados From Mexico Cure Bowl matchup with Appalachian State beating Miami (Ohio), 13-9, in a game that was filled with chaos and no first-half touchdowns.

The weather Saturday at FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando was less than ideal, as rain poured throughout the game and flooded the field. It was raining so hard that the rain heard on ESPN’s broadcast sounded at times like horses trotting, and some players ended up covered in paint from the field.

It was as chaotic as you’d imagine with a downpour like this, and they combined for 13 (THIRTEEN!!) total fumbles — seven from App State and six from Miami — and six total turnovers.

It was a mess, but the Mountaineers managed to come out on top.

As the field flooded with water and the game kept getting more and more hilarious, college football fans loved the slippery madness and had so many jokes.

Troy coach Jon Sumrall threw a ferocious tantrum over a possible missed call during Sun Belt title game

Well, someone needs a nap.

Troy football coach Jon Sumrall absolutely blew his top on the sideline of the Sun Belt Championship game on Saturday.

After what looked like a missed facemak call on opponent Appalachian State, Sumrall ran onto the field and screamed at the referees as some of the other people on the Troy sideline tried to hold him back.

Sumrall pushed on and argued with someone on his team during his sideline tirade for smartly trying to restrain him. The irate coach also did a facemask pulling motion in front of his face to try and communicate what he thought the penalty was.

If you’re looking at the most epic coaching meltdown this season, don’t look to Miami and Mario Cristobal. Look right to Troy and Sumrall for that honor.

While we understand that referees can make outrageously bad calls and miss blatant penalties, Sumrall’s temper tantrum just felt completely unnecessary.

Texas A&M lands in Phil Steele’s Top 5 most-improved teams ahead of the 2023 CFB Season

Texas A&M has landed in Phil Steeles’ Top 16 most-improved teams in 2023 list, finding themselves among the Top 5 teams.

What if I told you that having high expectations for Texas A&M ahead of the pivotal 2023 college football season was okay, especially after their disastrous 5-7 (2-6 SEC) 2022 campaign?

Well, I’m here to confirm that all of us in the Aggie media sphere aren’t the only ones in the hope business regarding the Maroon and White, as longtime CFB analyst Phil Steele, known for his annual season preview magazine, released his Top 16 most-improved teams ahead of the 2023 season, which happens to include Texas A&M who landed among the Top five teams listed.

Leading the SEC in returning production with eight starters returning on offense and defense, including veteran players such as wide receiver Ainias Smith, defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson, and strong safety Demani Richardson, who will all take on important leadership roles not only on the field but also inside the locker room.

Led sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman who’s poised to take the next step in his development after finishing 2022 with 896 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and zero interceptions for a 132.3 passer rating in five games during the latter half of the 2022 season, is poised to take the next step in his development under play-calling savant and QB guru Bobby Petrino, who’s entering his first season as the program’s new offensive coordinator.

Here are the Top five teams poised to improve in 2023, according to Phil Steele.

App State blew a 28-3 lead to James Madison, and of course college football fans had jokes

Obviously.

Appalachian State fans found out what happens when your team blow a 28-3 lead… jokes, embarrassment and lots of references to the Atlanta Falcons.

Despite wearing fancy helmets Saturday against James Madison, the Mountaineers went scoreless in the second half to the Dukes and lost 32-28.

App State had James Madison toasted, you guessed it, 28-3 in the first half before leading 28-10 at the break. Though, the Mountaineers, like the Atlanta Falcons who immortalized the 28-3 blown lead, forgot that you have to score points in the second half to win the game. James Madison certainly did not, rallying for a 22-point comeback to keep its perfect record.

The now 3-0 Dukes entered the day as a popular underdog at +6.5 on the betting lines, meaning that they covered the spread and then some.

Clemson remains outside the top 10 in USA Today Sports’ latest NCAA Re-Rank 1-131

Clemson remains outside the top 10 in this NCAA re-rank.

Following a 48-20 home win over Louisiana Tech, the Tigers remain outside the top 10 of USA Today Sports’ NCAA 1-131 Re-Rank. 

After opening the season ranked No.5 on the list, the Tigers dropped six spots after Week 2 to No.11 after a 35-12 home win against Furman. Undefeated with a 3-0 record, Clemson saw no movement after Week 3, sticking at No.11 out of the 131 teams. 

The only team this week to make a move into the top 10 was USC, who moved a major ten spots up to No.9 in the rankings. Only one team in the ACC ranked higher than the Tigers, with NC State dropping a single spot to No.7.

Here’s a look at the top 25 teams in USA Today Sports NCAA 1-131 Re-Rank: 

App State’s miraculous deflected Hail Mary to beat Troy had college football fans in awe

App State pulled off a miracle play!

Just when it looked like Appalachian State was about to lose its second game of the season Saturday against Troy at home, the Mountaineers pulled off a miraculous Hail Mary with basically no time left in the game.

Down 28-24 with 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter — and after an exuberant day that included a visit from ESPN’s College GameDay, App State students winning free tuition and a strong roasting of Texas A&M, which lost to the Mountaineers in Week 2 — App State started its final drive on its own 47-yard line. And it needed to make some quick moves.

Luckily for them, quarterback Chase Brice followed a series of three incomplete passes with a nail-biting heave downfield on 4th-and-10 with two seconds on the clock. Just shy of the goal line with bodies everywhere, the pass was deflected at about the five-yard line, landing perfectly in the hands of wide receiver Christan Horn.

With the help of some stellar blocking from his teammates, Horn had a clear path to the end zone for a 53-yard touchdown, waltzing in to deliver the 32-28 victory over the Trojans.

What a dazzling miracle of a play from App State, and it was absolute pandemonium afterward.
