So, what do they have going for them?

HC Scott Satterfield took the helm last December and retooled the staff.

He was the QB coach when Appalachian State ended um’s 2007 season in week 1. That “Sniper/Rifle shot” take out was among the most glorious upsets ever. The magnificence of that defeat was tempered by Fatso. On the same day he authored his own masterpiece and got pasted by GA Tech 33-3, at home, enroute to a 3-9 gem of a season.

“Satterfield compiled a remarkable 51-24 record at Appalachian State, including a 38-10 conference mark in six seasons with the Mountaineers. His conference record of 34-6 in five Sun Belt seasons is the best in the league over that span. Notably, he became the first coach to lead a school from the FCS level to FBS and immediately earn three-consecutive bowl wins.” This is worth a read: https://gocards.com/coaches.aspx?rc=791&path=football

I checked out the first 2 coaches listed on his staff.

OC/OL “Considered one of the top offensive line tacticians in the country, Dwayne Ledford was named the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of Louisville on Dec. 18, 2018.”

“A seven-year NFL veteran, Ledford played for the San Francisco 49ers (1999-2000, 2003-04), Jacksonville Jaguars (2000), Carolina Panthers (2001), Cleveland Browns (2005) and New Orleans Saints (2006). He saw action in eight games, including one start, for the 49ers in 2003.”

DC/Cornerbacks “The architect of one the nation's top defenses in 2017, Bryan Brown was named the defensive coordinator at the University of Louisville on Dec. 12, 2018.

After six seasons as the cornerbacks coach at Appalachian State (2012-17), Brown was promoted into the defensive coordinator position with the Mountaineers where he tutored one of the top defensive units in the nation.

In leading the Mountaineers to their third-straight Sun Belt title, a 10-2 record and a fourth consecutive bowl appearance, Brown's defense ranked sixth nationally in scoring defense at 15.7 points per game, holding the opposition to 10 or fewer points in seven contests. Brown's unit also ranked third in the country in passing defense (148.1) and sixth in total defense (279.3).”

ND better end this game early.

PS One thing we have going for us is the current competition to “The Shirt”. (link) Dear Lord...
