Charleston Southern AND A&T found a way to beat App with 15+ less scholarships than us, and did it in Boone.
We, instead, have a coach berating a Running Back to the local paper and the freshman kicker in a public correspondence.
I'm done. See you guys basketball season. I'm done with Elon football, cause obviously they are done for the year.

As with every other game, the kids from Elon played hard. I will continue to support the program and these kids who have committed to my university. Jason Swepson however is a coach who from Day 1 thought he was better than I-AA and now appears to not even want to be here. He and his staff's inability to "coach up" this team is breathtakig in its impotence. The sooner we get rid of this idiot gas-bag and start over the better..

hey quitter..... easily We gave scholarships to guys that cannot win on this level, We have had an awful defense the last 2 years figures and stats do not lie.... Everyone breaks an offensive record when They play us.... Sure We are not play-off calibre but the coaches have to get guys on the field that can compete ... We lose to #11 ranked team, bad again to a school We cannot line up against. there is no "D" at Elon ...

Let me throw this at ya. Coastal Carolina- 9.9 yrds per pass attempt, 6.2 yrds per carry. APP St- 12.2 yrds per pass attempt, rush-4.3 yrds per carry. NC A&T- 7.6 yrds per attempt,rush-4.2 yrds per carry. West Virginia Wesleyan- 5.4 yrds per attempt,rush- 3.5 yards per attempt. Ga Tech-17.2 yrds per attempt. rushing- 7.4 yrd avg.
Now what does this say? It says our defense has no identity. It says we have to start playing to make a team one dimensional. Why do you think you hear coaches say "we have to stop the run", that's to make a team one dimension and most teams don't hit 50% of there passes and that leads to a lot of 3 and outs. Is it our players fault they are being cut up the way they are? I don't think so, I think its more scheme than anything. If we stunt more on defense with the DE and OLB on the weakside the run game will shut down tremendously. If we run blitz the "trap" gaps with regularity, that will shut down the run game tremendously. Our defense is young, we have to take chances. We do have athletes, we need a better scheme. Another factor is that our offense doesn't help out the defense with a nice drive to be able to catch there breath when the opposing team has kept them on the field.
Your frustration is duely noted. But adversity builds character in these young men.

One loss is adversity. No D-I wins is trend.
