not too much to say. decent crowd. student side brought it again.

good to see the running game going, went as deep as 4th and 5th string by my count (Abnar/Kaigler)

not that the competetion tested it too much.

also good for Shashaty to get reps- to me he has a weird delivery but what do I know.

the drop by Shells was unbelievably bad... mental lapse I guess- rare to see that from him

Sigmon got blindsided/drilled on one play, late in the 1st half I think (?) but no one every mentioned it... hope he's ok

any word on why Bah got carted off? we don't need anymore injuries thanks.

DB's were outstanding- 4 pics

special teams looked good.

a shame Pratt didn't get at least 1 TD; sure looked in bounds on that last one.

all in all- pretty much what we expected. just wish we'd have played Campbell or Davidson or any DI, really

on to ODU

Pratt should have had 2 TDs. The holding call on the other one was bogus too. The Little guy can really scoot. I´m glad to see us finally finding a way to utilize him.

He dropped the ball, but it wasn´t all his fault. He was 5 yards in the clear and the pass was horribly underthrown, which gave the DB a chance to get back and make a play. He didn´t actually break it up, but he made it a tougher catch. The deep ball is still an issue with Woodrum. The first TD to Peterson was also a very poor throw, but he was just too big and athletic for the DB.

I was at the game with the wife, as we were leaving (my parents called and said they would be in town this morning so we had to leave after halftime to get the house ready) we were talking about how cool it would be if we finished with exactly 71 points (although a school record would have been awesome as well) last night.

I can't seem to find anything on here about it but does anyone know why Richardson didn't play yesterday? Is he injured or did Gill just not want to risk anything against a D2? Also, what's up with Aldreakis? (I can't find anything on that either)

Agree, Woodrum didn't show very well last night, especially throwing the long ball. Of course it could be because of the lack of competition, but we have seen it before against better opponents. Hopefully we can get this ironed out for the rest of the year. Looks like we are going to have to have a good offensive game next week. ODU put up 60+ against Albany.

AA has a leg injury which has kept him out since coming off suspensión. It´s possible he could have played this week but still wasn´t 100% so they decided to be safe. Richardson was also injured. His status was changed to questionable a few hours before game time. No more info that I am aware of.

Richardson got knicked up in practice this week. If we were playing someone that mattered he would have played.

Aldreakis has a torn calf.
