I'm interested to see what we do with one QB (Downing, right?) in for the whole game. If defense can contain the Aggies' strong running attack, and if offense performs at last week's second half level, we'll be competitive. If either defense or offense falters, we'll be in big trouble.
Go, Phoenix!

I’m watching Old Dominion beat Wake Forest like a rented mule and it makes me realize just how weak Elon is. If no win today, we’ll be lucky to win 2 games.

Defense dominated. Running game dominated. Good victory! Depth of O-line impressed. Hope the injuries aren't too bad.
One problem: discipline, or the lack thereof. Didn't hurt us tonight, could be devastating in a close game.
Go, Phoenix!

Great night at Rhodes. Huge crowd…I estimate 11,000. Great performance by the Aggie Band. Packed student section that actually hung around. This was a big time atmosphere . And a win to boot!!’
With Parents Weekend, HC and a game with NC Central (who will bring fans) still to come, I wonder if we are going to break our season attendance record this year?? Got a shot if the weather cooperates.
P.S….anyone else notice that our new AD was flat out wearing A&T colors tonight?? LOL…I guess we will cut her some slack!!

Offensively, rushing attack was dominant passing game was ugly. We are flat one dimensional. Our punter had nearly as many passing yards as our qb and looked more poised.
Defense looked really good. Marvin Pearson is a scary beast. He was in A&T’s backfield all night.

Glad they won and it did feel like a dominant performance, but still a lot of problems that are likely going to get exposed the next 3 weeks. A&T is really bad right now.
Elon was 0 for 13 on 3rd down last night and is 6 for 43 on the season. That's 14% and next to last in all of FCS.
Not sure this team is capable of scoring enough points to keep pace with Campbell and W&M offenses.
Atmosphere was great last night and just about as perfect as the Elon game experience can be. Have to figure out how to maintain that and keep it going into hoops as well.
Go Phoenix!
