Home game, both teams are 3 and 3, CAA conference game. Elon really needs this one! Was a little surprised to see UNH lose by double digits to Dartmouth. UNH feels like the most winnable of the next 3, so absolutely need to get this one and build momentum going into JMU and Nova and hopefully take one of those. Go Phoenix!

From what I can tell, UNH has good defense, and an opportunistic offense (like William & Mary, actually). They've only scored one touchdown in each of the past two games. In contrast, our offense has been putting up big numbers. It seemed like they struggled against Dartmouth mostly because they were on their heels and behind so much of the game. I think we need to emulate that to win. We need to come out firing and NEVER slow down.
Their defense has given up 287 passing yds per game, which would seem to favor us, but they also have 8 interceptions in six games. We've only given up 9 sacks this season, but UNH has 17 so far in total, which is a lot through six games. These two factors will be key. Can we pass the ball to get ahead while not turning the ball over too much or taking too many sacks. If so, I think we'll win handily. What's encouraging for me is that Cheek only has 2 INTs on the season, both arguably not his fault. I've got a feeling we'll be okay.

Was it UNH that one of our young QBs threw 4-5 picks against….year before Cheek was the starter?

You are correct. Seems like forever ago. Seriously doubt that happens this time.

I think both of you are right. Cheek did have a 4 INT game against UNH and so did Daniel Thompson back in 2015. Either way, we don't need another on Saturday.
Go Phoenix!

Had forgotten Cheek’s uncharacteristic game against UNH from ‘19 maybe? (was remembering Thompson). But yes, none of that mess again See they’re winless at home this year, maybe they’ll come out with some big time fire. I expect UNH will really be up as well after last week’s loss.

This should be a win for us. UNH hasn't been playing good the last three weeks, We on the other hand have been. Our air attack has been good. We need to get a little more out of our running game. Also need to tighten up our kick and punt return specials teams.
Elon by 12 points!

We never seem to have our 11 best players on the field on either offense or defense. By the way pass just completed at around the 7 minute mark right in front of Jones.

What kind of f***ing play calling was that on third down?
