But the question I have is why do you "unzip your fly" in the VT game and let LU see a new package or trick that you may want to later use on them? I think he will use it more limited against us and maybe have a new wrinkle or 2 to throw in.

Next related stupid question: To Mickey and JMU, which game would mean more, LU or JMU? bear with me here. Yes, I know you want to win both, but I think that a loss to VT and would hurt their post-season less than a loss to good old LU. A loss to VT isn't going to kill JMU in the FCS rankings, a loss to LU would hurt quite a bit. So it just sorta surprises me that you save the surprises until VT and then give LU lots of film to study. Just a silly observation, feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

no offense but I'm pretty confident our defense will be just fine that Saturday ;) It's the offense and not turning the ball over that is my primary concern
Exactly what I thought you'd say.
glad to see we're on the same page :)

you underestimate your team. a loss to LU would not kill us in the playoff hunt. Hurt us, yes, but c'mon, LU is a ranked team.

I didn't mean it like that. I try to look at it from the prespective of voters or a committee. With VT as a 1A team, JMU is not really expected to be able to compete with or beat them. But with JMU and LU being on the same level, the winner / loser is judged based on a like opponet.

I kind of see what you're saying after re-reading your post. A loss to VT would be "an acceptable loss", just like Duke and Maryland. The season we lost to Duke we were still ranked #1 for quite some time later on. but a loss to LU would hurt us in the polls.
