The Appalachian State Mountaineers, and the Georgia Southern Eagles have not been around the FBS that long, but both programs have had immediate success, and continue their winning ways this season. This is a unique game between a pair of teams that both run the triple-option offense, and that means the ball is going to be on the ground an awful lot. These teams combine to run the ball 102 times, and chances are there will be a lot fewer plays in this game as the clock will seldom stop for anything, but a first down or an incomple pass, which combined between these teams totals just 17 incomplete passes a game. Since both practice all season vs. the option, it is going to be harder for both teams to execute at the same level, as each is well equipped to handle what they will see. Whenever two option teams go at it, they know how to defend each other, as they see it in practice every day. That has led to a 6-26 O/U mark when option teams face each other in the right situation. Play on the UNDER.
