A win is a win. Offense had some good moments. Veteran Elon defense allows 400+ yards to.....Davidson. Much improvement needed to compete with other CAA teams Hard to see top 25 team in any of that. Come on guys! You are better than that showing.

glad We got a "W" , but Davidson made it as tough as possible, We had to play into their style. And they executed very well. Key stops were needed. The defense has to step up especially along the line of scrimmage. Time of possession obviously needs better balance. win #1

Davidson is on the rise (6-5 in 2018 and 8-4 in 2019) so hats off to them. Their coach reminds me of the program build that Lembo had here at Elon.
Today they Played a grind it out style and their best defense was their offense.
Our Defense only allowed 3 after the break but Davidson’s ability to sustain drives and chew clock was unacceptable.
Offense had nice stats and critical money down conversions allowed us to win. OC has to feel decent about letting Joey open it up with both his legs and arm moving forward. JT will have to produce all Spring in the backfield.
Considering no football in over a year, Overall I think a quality win given where Davidson is and where they are heading. Don’t be fooled by the Davidson of the past. With that said, plenty to clean up but excited for next week. Good W. Let’s go get another one.

Yeah It wasn't pretty, but it was a good team win! That's what counts most in the end. I believe we will play better next week at Gardner Webb. Got to be ready for JMU.

Ok...so I’ve been a supporter of the program for a pretty long time and will continue to be. I will though unfortunately say I do not share the same optimism as some in this thread at this moment.
Yes Davidson finished 8-4, but they had some awful losses the previous season (like Marist). I know it’s been a year and a half since football has been played, but man, they’re going to have to really blow GWU out of the water for me to feel ok about the season.
This team has some exceptional student athletes, and I look forward to see how they respond!
