An odd ball 3-3-5 defense with an All-American at linebacker. I think just like some of our earlier games that they'll play their butts off, and then tire a bit in the second half. We'll win, if for no other reason than we have more and better athletes. This is how I see it too. We're breaking in new starters at quite a few spots, have a QB who has only been in the system for a few months, Elon is a good FCS team, and the typical first game rust that will have to be shaken off. In the end our depth and superior athletes will allow us to beat Elon into submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a close game going into the fourth quarter. You will probably be disappointed. Hope you aren't but just got a feeling. The last good D 2 team we played was McNeese.

I have the same feeling because of so many unknowns. I'm testing the power of positive thinking... but it probably won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did we just make them look that way? J/K since I have no idea how they did the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost only one more reg season game and won their first playoff game, losing to JMU ... but we did help them look mightier than they should have.

We are too deep and fast this year on D. We have 2 Duke Transfers, A good JUCO transfer, great freshman and a lot of players who have experience. Noticed all of the defensive players that transferred out his year? They got beat out and saw that they couldn't compete with the new talent. We have some talent and depth. The past 10 years we have rely only on a few players per season, now we are finally at a point where we can rely on a whole bunch of players on offense. And the new redshirt rule allows us to use all of our freshman if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, if they can't stop the HB dive, why turn to page 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
