As I said on the previous game thread, Elon plays well at home 4-0 in a nice facility .... Elon is no Stony Brook

Eh, Casey Stadium is nicer. The only thing they may have better than us is the location/quality of the FB locker rooms.

EDIT: Just as I had guessed, this thing opened when I was 14. Yeah, that's ancient and it looks like it.

Anyone see the national QB numbers?  Poff is 6th in pretty much every category.  If he keeps it up, he has a very good shot at the Jerry Rice Award

He's 6th but the top-rated Freshman in NCAA Passing Efficiency. Of the five quarterbacks on the watch list of Oct. 20, Idaho's and Albany's are the only ones with more than one Division I win.

However, the Idaho QB is ranked fifth and listed as a sophomore, but still on the watch list - must be  a redshirt

edit:Poff named CAA ROW for the 5th time

I had to look it up. Our defense has given up NINE touchdowns on plays of more than 35 yards, five runs and four passes, in seven games against FCS opposition. That doesn't count three more such plays and a punt return against Baylor. That's a lot of chasing runners who have gotten thru or around the secondary.

Elon has scored two such, and given up two. I guess that means they're not a quick-strike, big-play team. We've scored four, including two Sibley runs.

Sagarin favors Elon by 13, Massey by 10 (31%), RealtimeRPI by 16 (19%)

Just in case anyone is headed to Elon tomorrow the NWS forecast calls for early morning fog, then mostly sunny afternoon, high around 77 degrees

[UAalum72]

Oddly for league members so late in the season, the two teams have only one common opponent so far - Albany lost at home to New Hampshire 28-23, Phoenix lost to them 22-40 at UNH. They play at Hampton next week.

Looks like the GG clan is reverting to form. Bulldogs vs Vols soon. What’s with the short kickoffs and out of bounds kickoff? Last game of my FloFootball subscription…cancelled it. 
 

All I want for Christmas is a new head coach….but will probably get a big lump of coal.

Oh well..no 50 points today. Down 24-3 at the half. UA has 4 penalties and 2 turnovers. Elon kicker hits a 52 yard FG.

[jimbo]

30-3 at last look.  Outclassed today. 

[tnehurley]

Last Elon TD called back. Still 24-3. Either way, yes, we are outclassed.

Yeah, weird. I checked the live stats and it was 30-3, then checked just now and 24-3. Watching UG Tennessee.

Final 27-3. Our QB sacked 7 times. Spent the entire game running for his life.

Will spend the entire winter break running from Gutless Gattuso and the cretin Benson.
