How is it that Elon destroyed W&M? The Indians are a very good football team. I think we played as close to a perfect defensive game as we are capable and W&M was culpable in the destruction. I'm pretty sure they led in most every offensive statistical category except the most important - the score. Not trying to bash our team, because they were opportunistic. It's a very good thing to capitalize on your opponent's mistakes, and W&M made several during that game. I would also say "destroyed" is a very strong word. |

One TD drive was 6 yards due to a bobbled snap by their punter. Also blocked a punt early in the 1st quarter. Defense swarmed, best I've seen them play in years. Very young team. Some good athletes, but need to find consistency on D. The offense......well, I'm sure you've read about it here. |

Half of UR's defense and all of its defensive backfield are out for the season. The coach is not certain what to do about it. I think his decision is to kick the crap out of his opponent... While your point is refreshing, this game concerns most realistic Spider's fans. IMHO, this will be a one score/ one point game and it could go either way. |

You should have seen the look on his face. Destroyed is the right word. The wind was suddenly taken from his sails. Their season was suddenly on the rocks. He was dumbstruck. It was quite humorous. Any time a team beats W&M, they have accomplished something. |

Re the W&M win, if I recall correctly we scored 17 points with one first down. And we had only one first down well into the third quarter. Don't get me wrong, it was a great win. Our D was lights out and we got some great breaks. But our O was anemic most of the game. I think we had one good drive in the fourth quarter.

Our offense is broken. Today was one of the worst performances I've ever seen. As I watched with a number of former players, they were shocked. As one put it if we're going to just run belly dive plays, we might as well just line up in the I formation and at least have a fullback to block.
As I've always said. I love Rich. However, it's apparent that changes must be made on the offensive side of the ball and we do not have a QB that can be successful at this level.
I'm sick of this.

As stated earlier, not taking a scholarship qb was a massive mistake. You can make all the changes you want to play calling, DT is incapable of throwing the ball dowfield to open recievers.
When you are down by 3+ TDs and run up the middle it tells you the staff has zero confidence in DT'a ability throwing ability.
The stupid penalties are annoying.
Apparent that William and Mary
Best case we repeat at 4-7. Not sure you would call that success.

I watched The Citadel yesterday. If a small militant school can dominate, then we should be able to get better players. You guys also realize that Charleston Southern has more official success than us. You know, a private school with one of the worst DVD stadiums, mediocre facilities... yet they do something right. We should recruit and hire Jamey Cjaldwell. I like Rich, but he's just not getting the job done, at this point we should better or even the same, not tons worse |

Both were head coaches. Hamilton has the makings of a good coach but was blinded by his son. Our attempt at building assistants into head coaches had failed |

wth quarter and 60 yards passing... ugh DT could be the worst qb playing D1. I said something to this effect a month ago & got called out for it. Here's some reality for ya, CC wouldn't have been much better. I like both of them, & hate to be harsh, but it's true. Right now we have the best pass blocking OL we've had in a very long time, maybe ever, & we get 92 yards passing? For a whole game? It's not all on DT either. Several wide open receivers dropped passes. Arrington was our receiving yardage leader at 27 yds??? He dropped a critical pass yesterday too. I swear, If Cole or Bridges aren't open I think I'd just tuck & run. Lauletta (UR) and Bednarczyk (Nova) gave clinics on how to hit a target. We very simply do not have that unless it's sitting on the bench. I'll chime in with the play calling here too, but I'm really not sure DT can handle anything more complex. Certainly not in the route running department. IMO DT needs to find a go to receiver, learn all of his tendencies & go there every time he has that option. And that receiver shouldn't be coming out of the backfield. Has everyone seen the latest version of "Compelled"? Boy those were the days... |
