Bleacher Report of the App game

[EverettGriz]

Major FCS Matchups

Some top FCS teams chose to also test themselves in the first week of the season, but instead of an FBS school, they decided to prove themselves against another top FCS team. These were the marquee all-FCS matchups of week one.

The biggest FCS game of the opening week took place in Missoula, Montana on Saturday night.

The Montana Grizzlies and Appalachian State Mountaineers, two of the most powerful programs year in and year out at the FCS level, chose to meet one last time as FCS foes before App. State moves up to the FBS. In front of over 26,000 fans in an absolutely deafening WaGriz Stadium, Montana showed that it's still one of the elite FCS teams, crushing the Mountaineers 30-6.

QB Jordan Johnson showed that he still has it in his first game back after missing all of last season. He went 19 of 23 for 251 yards and two touchdowns. He never really needed to showcase the running side of his skill set, as the two-headed monster of running backs Travon Van and Jordan Canada combined for 230 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The Griz defense was stifling, holding App. State to only two field goals.

Highly doubt JJ will put up the raw numbers needed to win the Payton this year, unless we get behind in games and need him to sling it.

Travon Van, on the other hand....


He'll be hurt some by sharing carries with Canada, but he's going to put up some big numbers this year.

Well, it's supposed to be given to the most outstanding player, not just the one with the best raw numbers, right?

Thanks for quoting gg, 22. Like all morons, I have him on "IGNORE" so missed his post.

In any event, haven't visted that site in many, many months. Why would I bother? All 11 of the posters on that site (22, getgrizzy, 25.06, bracket, etc) all constatnly trolling here anyhow.
