Will this be the longest win streak of the year? Will Austin Peay on our parade? If our secondary plays better and we create a few turnovers Saturday we got a good shot. Strange we haven’t generated any turnovers the last two games? Hopefully we change that scenario early and often this weekend. Good news is we didn’t turn the ball over. We scored over 30 points too. We have to score over 30 points,(unless playing Tennessee Tech…see win 2), to have a shot at the upset. Now we also can’t continue with all those penalties and have a chance to win. Good teams play with control. Emotions channeled correctly are awesome, emotions running wild can flip a game. The stats really show these two teams to be pretty close. I need to see who is playing at running back for us this week. I imagine Lacey will play hard but isn’t right and after some hard tackles will have to give way to? In the Moody for a freshman? I can Driggers it? Or does Cummings become the new Alstock….younger folks look him up. Either way much more exciting getting ready for the next game coming off a win. Roar Lions!

Interesting scheduling. You hosted UTU last week, we play at their place this week. You play at Peay this week, we host them next week. You host UCA next week, we go to UCA the following week.

Impressive passing team y’all are playing for sure. Qb makes some big time throws and also has some strong accurate zip passes to fast receivers. Ball control is how we slowed them down…about ithe only way unless your dline can get to him. Their defense was decent. Good luck.

Tough game to predict this week. Such a good close game last year, has that feel for Saturday. The Lions haven’t won two games in a row since Moby Dick was a minnow. This is no easy game. If Austin makes some mistakes, costly mistakes that create points, the Lions pull one out. The Lions must protect the ball on the road, that’s been the struggle. UNA creates more turnovers than Austin Peay and find a way to get their first upset win of the year. Roar Lions Roar!

I haven't watched Austin Peay any this year. How did they improve so much from the team that barely beat our (worse) team last year? Obviously that can happen, but their usual MO is to be a bottom-feeder.
Another thing I find strange... I NEVER see any APSU or UCA fans online. None of the popular FCS boards, or at least ones that I visit, seem to ever have any fans of those two schools. I think I've seen fans from every other UAC school. Well maybe not Utah Tech, but I can't imagine their fanbase is very big to start with.
I like that 96 is the eternal optimist. I can't stop myself from usually leaning to the pessimist side. I'm thinking it's another 37-24 type of game, in favor of the Govs. Honestly I would just be happy to win one of these last two - FSU is basically just a scrimmage as far as I'm concerned.

Surely we win at least one Homecoming game this year? Unusual to get this many opportunities to win a Homecoming game in the same season. Weather looks perfect there, maybe high 70’s…for a half. Awesome. Never seen Dearmon and his staff lose a game in Clarksville, TN. Yep I am trying everything….

I'm headed to Clarksville... anyone else coming, it's actually a really easy trip from Florence.

If APSUs stadium is 10k, ours is over 20k... this place is small..

My hope at the start of the season was just four wins. It may still be attainable.

The camera angles on this broadcast make it hard to watch. It’s like they’re in the 3rd row.

Sigh. 87 yard TD pass by the Govs. Ridiculous.

Glad I'm not watching or listening to this fiasco.
Watching the score update is sufficiently depressing.
