Road trip up to Campbell. Campbell lost to Liberty last Saturday. So with both teams coming off a lose, What should we expect to see this Saturday?
I say Elon by double digits!

Campbell is very big and is loaded with D-1 transfers. Liberty is really quite good. I think you might have the double digits right but just not the right winner.

I just looked at their roster. DAM! 19 D-1 transfers! What do we have one? #15
This is only my forth year following Elon football. Still trying to figure them out?

Unfortunately, Elon will not win this one. Campbell's admin is fully behind the sports program. Elon is too busy trying to be Harvard. It shows in their hires in every sport other than Men's & Women's, Basketball. Frankly, I don't disagree with their strategy. No matter what Elon does, FCS doesn't matter. So why blow the money? Like it or not, Basketball is where Elon can become a factor. Nowhere else. No one will ever care about FCS teams except the individual FCS schools' fans. So expect mediocre, except for the odd once per decade team.

d**n, y'all are some depressing fans. Seriously. I think this will be a hard-fought win like Wofford would have been, but I do think we will likely come out on top.

Interested to see the out come of today's game. Elon has never played Campbell before. Really need a win to get this team mentally set-up and ready for the up coming CAA games.

I mean…already expecting a loss not too much else to say.
Epx hit the nail on the head though. Being the school that we are, it won’t be super competitive year in and out. Similar schools with lengthy success/program reputations just likely won’t be a reality (like Furman, Wofford, Richmond) here. Flare ups of really big years once a decade in FCS is the trend, unfortunately. ….1999, 2009, 2017.

Good to see the defense playing well. We'll be leaning on them all year.

First off - very nice to get a win on the road. Thought the team played hard and I believe Campbell will be a worthy out in the Big South this year.
Would’ve been nice to control the game on the scoreboard like we did on the field in the first half. Have to be able to punch it in with 4 downs inside the 5. Notice last game and this game when we try to steal a short yardage first down in the hurry up (twice on 3rd & 1) we go to fast where the linemen aren’t sure who to block because the defense isn’t set. We aren’t under center therefore already at a disadvantage in those scenarios.
Should’ve been a minimum of 21 points scored by our offense in the first half. Have to put games away early when we can!
Will probably have to start chipping off the edge for the right tackle after our oline injury - he was getting beat out of his stance pretty regularly.
Extremely pleased with the defense. Spy was stellar most of the night. Thought the mobile QB would hurt us but game plan was perfect. Negative is not sure how we get one on one that deep at the end of the game and lose the 50/50 ball. Can’t make that big of a mistake.
Proud of the team and would let Cheek open it up even more and spin it.
Go Elon!
