Lines on these games are hard to find but I did find some. I came across -27.5 and -25.5, which for a game like this, is not actually that large. To put it in perspective, USC was favored by about 49 today, while OU and PSU were favored by about 40.

So for a I-AA team going on the road to face the #5 team in the country...yeah, not that large of a line. App State is pretty good.

-27.5? Wow. Given the kind of offense Michigan runs and Lloyd Carr's aversion to running up scores, I would've said before the game that taking App St. +27.5 would've been free money.

Just caught the highlights. Man, whatta game, wish I'd seen it. Agreed with those who say App would beat plenty of other 1-A teams; like, oh, say Utah & Utah St for starters. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I got a little lol at how the App coach was still wearing his headset while being interviewed on the field after. Most "big-time" programs have someone in charge of the coach's headset whom he gives it to as soon as the game ends... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
