Austin Peay

[nolesfan]

Has anyone heard anything about Friday's scrimmage? Anxious for any news...

[nolesfan]

LadyEaglesFan, Cunningham is playing 2nd team offensive. You can read details of their scrimmage held yesterday at www.apsu.edu..then go to Athletics.

Thanks Nolesfan for the information. If you get a chance to see them in person I would appreciate and feedback on how my Knoxville boy is doing. It looks like he had a pretty decent day on Monday. Thanks

Did see them on Monday...they looked pretty good defensively...a few miscues on offensive (bad snaps) especially with 2nd team. Overall they looked pretty good considering they are so young.

Thanks for the update Nolesfan. It sounds like they have a lot of youth, but maybe that youth will give them better depth than they had last year. It seems the defense is way ahead of the offense. I hope the offense can keep the defense off of the field so they can have a better chance of winning a few games this year. How is the Peardon kid doing from Boyd Buchanan. I saw him against CAK two years ago in the playoffs and he was tough. He should give them another good running back to go with Fletcher.

The starting backfield will likely be Chris Fletcher and Quea Williams. This season alone they have brought in Dontae Northington (Rossview), Ross Coffee (Davidson Academy), Matt Peardon (Boyd Buchannan), and Jason Vanatta (Nashville Christian). Fletcher is still a young cat as well!!!

 

It sounds to me that the running back situation at APSU is pretty solid for a long time to come thumb

And you didn't even mention all of them (running backs).

I am glad the Govs are young the year before they finally get back in the OVC. That means next year when they are back in the OVC they'll have a ton of guys with of ton of game experience under their belts. MARK MY WORDS: within their first three years in the OVC Austin Peay will win the conference and host a DIAA playoff game in Clarksville!!!!

[nolesfan]

I agree, being young now will pay off later. Looking forward to watching this team mature!

I forgot to mention Jake Nunley from Coffee Co.

Hey Catfish and Nolesfan. This week is game week. Who is going to make up the Austin Peay backfield and who is going to be the wide recievers. What's your prediction on this years team.

from what i hear from friends of mine on the team, jake nunley is running the ball hard and looking good. he scored a td in the scrimmage and word is he is running real hard and should get snaps in the reg. season.
