I was there too and haven't re-watched it except for that FG attempt on YouTube.  I will remember the stunned silence as that guy ran back that blocked kick, except for the tiniest band of App State fans essentially sitting on top of the stadium, they were so far up there.  I could hear them from across the field.

Beyond the obvious health issues, we're also getting to the point where these athletes aren't getting a ton of practice time to, you know, get ready to play this football season they are so intent on pushing across the starting line.  They're supposed to play their first game in less than a month and assuming they quarantine for at least 7-10 days were getting real close to early September before they can get back on the field and in the weight room.  Yeah they can do a lot of stuff virtually but we're going to keep seeing these outbreaks and the schedules are just getting more compressed.

Meanwhile, down in the SEC, schools are starting to announce capacity restraints for having fans ATTEND games.

Alabama is allowing 20% capacity

Texas A&M 30%

Tennessee roughly 26k
