Both teams are 4-5 with no chance at the playoffs. Nothing left to play for now but your pride! Like to see Elon finish over .500. What do they need to do to finish 6-5?

Either get a new coaching staff quick or quit playing the bunch of loosers that never get punished for making the same mistakes over and over again.

I'm confident we can win, but I expect Towson to be gunning for us, as we ended their play-off hopes in 2019. They don't have the talent they had back then, but they do have great pride and a respectable program. They did make it to the finals in 2013, but fell hard to NDSU (ancient history maybe, but Towson history nonetheless). Offense: air it out, throw more to tight end Williams, run it up the middle rarely if it all. Defense: DBs cover tighter.
Go, Phoenix!

Wheel routes, RB outlet passes, shovel passes, LOTS of targeting #15, crossing routes 5-10 yards, rare RB up the middle, LOTS of play action passes. This is where our talent lives, not incomplete, (or intercepted), 60 yard bomb, up the middle for -1 yard, 10-15 yard pass play with all receivers covered, (because they have to run a pass play for a first down), incomplete, punt. Let's run plays that our O can handle. This is how you win!

And forget about the effing clock! Score as many points as you can as fast as you can. Up tempo 2/3rds of the game!

Hate to tell you this but Elon is not going to fire anyone. They aren't really a "football school" so having a winning team doesn't really mean that much to the higher ups. Plus they have this coaching staff at a pretty affordable price right now (as far as FCS coaches go). Bigger name coaches cost more money.

Yes Elon can beat Towson. Need to stop trying to run the dam ball up the middle. Throw the ball, get the tight ends involved, RB's can catch passes too. Open up the playbook! The play calling has been so vanilla this season.

I knew this before I wrote it but I know you are correct. These guys are just in over there head. Oh well!

After the backside whipping Elon took last week I expect them to come out on fire. Elon will beat Towson on the road by two scores.
