The college football world is still talking about Appalachian State's stunning upset of Michigan last week: 34-32.
In Orono, the Black Bears are preparing to take on I-A (now Football Bowl Subdivision) Connecticut Saturday in Hartford. Don't think Maine - who also beat Mississippi State back in 2004 - isn't thinking upset.
Maine beat Monmouth (NEC) 21-14 to open the season last week, flashing a strong running game.
On Saturday the Black Bears are hoping to add more dimension to its offense, most notably in the passing game.
"There certainly has to be more of something," said Head Coach Jack Cosgrove. "We have to get more balance no question."
Here's a clip from the last 2:44 of the Appalachian State game. Wild stuff.
