Unfortunately the perception is that they are a cupcake that we struggled to beat. In today’s scheduling you either play actual cupcakes or you play big teams in week 1.Joe always said you improve the most from the first game to the second. Let’s hope that’s true. There is a lot of talent - it’s just green at this point. Hopefully time will rectify some of the blown coverages and confusion we saw on D. Have faith. It’s the same coaches and recruiting has been lights out. The cupboard isn’t bare. We’re not about to return to the Dark Years. Also, App. State are no slouches. There’s a reason why a lot of P5 teams don’t want to play them. The upside from a first game opponent like that is much better than playing a cupcake - where you learn nothing about your team and can’t see what needs to be fixed.
