Let's see how well the offense does today. If it performs the way it did against Charlotte, I give us a great shot at upsetting Richmond. This could be the signature win in Skrosky's first year.
Go Phoenix!

Start of Q4 and Elon has 83 total yards of offense. Richmond has given us 75 penalty yards. Yikes!
Defense still admirable, even though they've given up a ton of yards.

Going Forward:
* Play Loughery the rest of the year.
* Don't burn any red-shirts.
* Let the seniors play.
* Go for it the rest of the year on the + 50 on fourth down.
* Fire Blank for getting us into this mess.
* Keep cheering for the staff and kids. They still deserve our support.
Thank you Blank and Swepson. They took a program that was a part of the top 25 for the better part of three plus years and destroyed it. All because Blank hated Lembo. He could have had Skrosky then.

He could have had Skrosky then. All good points taken but no need to point a lot of blame on the past. We just do not have a lot of studs to play at this level to win We have to recruit better and some of these guys just have to step up and make plays injuries have crippled this team but that is just a losers excuse. I just see a lot of uninspired play. Guys now should be playing for positions next year. |

I don't think we can say the defense lacks inspiration. It's the offense. 4 yds per pass attempt can't cut it. And no, I don't have an answer.

My question is will they score a Touch Down again this season?

The only reason I bring up the past, is because Blank got us into this mess. He needs to be called out for it.

Loch did an admirable job today. Our OL is really hurting. Loch couldn't get through his progressions... He had an average of less than 2 seconds per snap. He did a great job on rollouts and long passes when he could get them off. Overall a great first effort in my book given the circumstances.
D did a great job. On the last UR touchdown drive, they made two outstanding stops only to have to go back on the field after penalties on our special teams giving UR first downs.
Agree with most points fc4. Blank deserves the blame for hiring Swepson, (with culpability on Lambert's part for not coughing up reasonable money), but also deserves the credit for making it right. I think this team and our program are in good hands for the future. I was more optimistic about what we had left with regard to talent. Much less than I originally thought. This isn't a one year turn around job like it was when Lembo first came, especially with the conference change. But I believe more than ever that this regime will get the job done. I would really like to see Loch finish the year as the starting QB. Sometimes you have to make a change just to get out of a rut. No hard feelings toward Quinn.

Swepson made more than $230,000. We were not skimping on coaches salaries. Blank and Lambert just made a horrible hire.

the D gives up way too many yards some really bad tackling but injuries keep mounting because guys just psychologically cannot take
the losing

Another piece of baloney is the listed attendance of 5000+. There was no way the game could have had 2000. UR had as many, if not more fans than Elon.

I think you'll get your wish about Loughery. If Quinn has what I think he has (ruptured bursa in throwing elbow), that'll take a few weeks to heal. So Loughery should be in. The very interesting scenario would take place if Loughery goes down...

Sad to hear about Quinn's injury. Unfortunate to see a senior's career end like that.
