Well this week should be interesting. GW definitely set us back and it might not look like a good season. But, hey we've beat JMU once at JMU in 2018, we could definitely pull it off again. We just need a miracle. If only we still had Davis. We really just need to stop the run and keep playing hard through the whole game and not get greedy after the first half. What are yalls thoughts on this upcoming match up?

They are currently ranked number 1! We dropped out of the top 25. We need to look at this game like it's a Bowl Game for us. They can be beat and I think we can do it. Just going to come down to wanting it more! We have several starters hurt, So it's up to the team leaders to set-up and motivate the younger players. Need fans to be loud and support these young men.

Are there any players coming back from injury that could help us beat the dukes? Or any game plan that might help us even in the last game of the season? Since unfortunately we play them twice this season.

Really enjoyed the 1st half. Thought the boys battled hard regardless.
We have to make better adjustments at halftime. Thought the use of time outs in the 2nd half was extremely questionable. Understand getting the rookie outside the pocket but many times rolled right into the blitz...very surprised we didn’t incorporate a screen pass with all the pressure.
Hate we let that one slip away but fought hard. Just outplayed and out coached in the 2nd half. Hats off to JMU.
Need to get a W next week.

ah my old posters , always the best (female canines) on the planet. We are who we are. and that's a developmental program down to our 3rd quarterback and missing many key players on offense and defense. my expectations have been optimistic with such a spring practice can bring. with injuries, We have little to no depth. once again we will be underdogs in every game we play don't get too down on this program pregnant dog'n just makes it worse and hurts recruiting but these guys need to develop and we must work the transfer portals more

Our OC should be fired. Period. The one that had a third string frosh QB rise to the occasion and put a scare in the TOP RATED TEAM IN THE NATION? That one?

The team battled. It was great to see.
However, we had four drives starting at the 11 min mark of the third quarter. Our play calling was awful and made no adjustments to their pressure. Zero adjustments.
The drives: 3 plays = -1 yds. 3 plays = -8 yds. 3 plays = 1 yd. 3 plays = 3yds.
Our D played their tails off and our play calling left a lot to be desired. We had an 11pt lead in the fourth quarter and the game was there for the taking.

We lost in the playoffs to Wofford because we had too many injuries. We lost to JMU yesterday because of too many injuries. It always seems to be the same thing. I'm cool with saying we played above our ability Saturday. It's still a loss. And in a few weeks no one's going to care that we had a 3rd string frosh quarterback in. All they'll see is that we've only beaten a non-scholarship team by a few points

Team tends to get off to a good start and then the coaches seem like they try to hold on for dear life. Need to coach with less anxiety and fear of losing the lead. Stick with what got you there.

We should have one this game! Offence looked like it was "hand cuffed" in the second half. To conservative IMO! We were still on top going into the 4th. Poor use of times outs in the second half. We got to get better this week no matter who we have in the game. All these kids have played football before. Gotta coach them up this week.
Let's not be so negative about this team and coaching staff. You should read the stuff JMU people where saying on their forum (https://csnbbs.com/thread-917583-page-5.html) during the game. We are just better people then that!
