Appalachian State Vs. Toledo Live Stream

The Camellia Bowl between the Appalachian State Mountaineers and Toledo Rockets was no exception.

App State finishes the 2016 season with a 10-3 record and back-to-back 10-win seasons. Following the overtime loss against Tennessee, the Mountaineers lost against Miami (45-10) but were largely dominant in most of their Sun Belt matchups.

Oddsmakers are predicting a close game with plenty of points on the board. Toledo also failed to cover in its last two games and was just 7-5 against the spread this year. Jason is a really, really good football coach and I learned a lot from Matt, from him, from all the guys on the football staff.

Toledo’s offense has quietly worked their way up to the top tier this season.

It’s a friendship that goes back to their days at Toledo in 2009.

Appalachian State responded to the Toledo score extremely quickly. Overall, the Mountaineer defense held Toledo relatively well in check, but the Rockets still managed four plays of 25-58 yards. The Mountaineers were just 6-6 against the spread this season, failing to cover in three of their last four games.

Don’t be fooled by the numbers. While statistically impressive, most of his big runs came at key times, and he was certainly the MVP of the game. Woodside has a talented array of options in the receiving corps.

The roster includes 51 freshman players and 16 seniors. The Rockets continued the second-quarter tradition of punting after three plays, but this time a nicely placed punt by fourth-year punter Nick Ellis that put Appalachian State at their own 12 yard line. Then on another key third down, Lamb ran 21 yards, partly because the Toledo spy got caught in the traffic in the middle of the field.

Appalachian State was able to get a first down, and that was that. Toledo ranks 74 nationally against the pass and has surrendered 23 touchdowns through the air. Damion Jones Moore contributed 271 yards and Art Thompkins also had 235 yards to fill up the running game of the Rockets. The best is fellow junior Cody Thompson, who has 10 scores and is approaching 1,200 yards.

On Saturday night, they limited Woodside to 247 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns.

“When they tried to stop (Cox and fellow-1,000-yard rusher Jalin Moore), they forgot about Taylor”, Cox said. Will Toledo have an answer on Saturday? They struggle against the run, giving up 165.7 yards per game. Don’t let that fool you though, App State is the defending Camellia Bowl champs and it’s going to take more than experience to stop them from taking home the title. According to the game history, we see Appalachian State keeps things simple and score their yardage during running attack. The ground game averages 200 yards as Kareem Hunt has run for 1,355 yards and eight touchdowns.

Rubino’s kick followed a six-play, 35-yard Mountaineer drive that was sparked by a simple misdirection play that Cox broke to the sideline for 26 yards, with a huge seal block from guard Colby Gossett at the corner. Toledo’s defense is also not great, mainly because it has serious problems with the big play. This is the teams 2nd straight Raycom Media Camellia Bowl win.

Bowling Green won the inaugural Camellia Bowl 33-28 over South Alabama in 2014, and past year Appalachian State defeated OH 31-29. And last season, Appalachian State edged OH 31-29.
