Were looking to finish mid conf i think.  There are a lot of things up in the air right now.  Our senior QB is out, so we have a red shirted freshman in, though it was possible he was going to be fighting for that top spot.  We lost a few good D players to graduation... one of them is playing for the jag's next year.  Coach does have a fe wtricks up his sleave and this Elon team has been known to surpirse, but with this new coach were still learning what his tendences are so for a prediction on a pass/run game or what too look for i cannot really say

This is not disrespect to Elon, but if we don't win this game by at least 35-40 points something is seriously wrong.  We are supposed to be a top 25 or nearly top 25 team.  Top 30 1-A teams don't let the Elons hang around.  Again, no disrepect to Elon, but that is the way it SHOULD be.  This should be reminiscent of the 51-10 against FAU.  

By the way, Army is a lot better than Elon, and that was our worst year ever.  Also FIU is a 1-A team, not 1-AA and they played several teams tough at the beginning of year before eventually falling apart after losing a bunch of players to the UM brawl.

No disrespect taken, Im not expecting a win From Elon.  I look at the game as more of a guage on our talent level and how closley we can hang in.  1 reason i like this game is its our first against a bowl league so it means were moving up in prestege. 2 it has a little history with us playing each other in your first few years of existance and both sides wanting a little revenge. 3, well its the start of footballl season and what better reason then that.  On that note there still is a little voice in the back of my head that says WIN WIN WIN, and we are the phoenix and do rise from ashes so who knows ...........

I was skimming your board and had to comment.  Professor is right, never look past anyone .  App state will tell you that, when a flat Elon team came from 20 down to beat them in basketball.  Elon will tell you that when cit took the final baseball series from us, and again App, NATIONAL CHAMPS almost lost to Elon in football.  The game was decided on about 5 min of bad decisions and bad play calls.  Any team any day I always say.  With that said Im not expecting a win I just want to see how good we can do against a bowl league team.  The one problem with this game is you have everything to loose and we have everything to win, so if your players look past they could be caught off guard.  1 word of warning dont gauge us by our recent years, we have had many staff changes and position changes, so were a completely different team with a whole lot of heart.  I look forward to the game and wish your team the best of luck.  Just don’t talk too mush BULL S*** or you might just have to eat it after the game.
