Did I read those stats right for their QB through the first three games? EIGHT interceptions? Ought to be seeing the Joker mask next Saturday!

He is slinging it an average of 34 tines a game and putting up decent yardage totals. We can't have him find his groove against us.

We are coming into this one mild favorites primarily to Williams Stadium. But I don't think anyone is taking ECU lightly in practice this week.

Hopefully the weather cooperates and we have another strong crowd on Saturday.

We have a lot of key injuries...
- On offense JP Flores, Copeland, Cooley, JuJu Gray
- On defense Jay Hardy, Mo Williams, Hopkins

I think I saw Mo Williams play a few snaps Saturday. Has there been any updates to the others? Copelands didn't look so good... Cooley came off on his own power then went down on the sideline. They carried him to the tent, but then he came back and was walking around under his own power. He didn't appear gimpy and didn't have any noticeable support.

Should be a sellout crowd. Only berm seating available.

I'm no insider but it sounds like Copeland is out for a while...maybe for the year. Ice and brace on his left knee with several players consoling him. Coach's comments post game seemed bleak. Cooley sounds promising. Hopefully he is full go on Saturday as we will need to take the air out of the ball this week against an air it out offense.
I really want to see JuJu Gray back in action. We need someone in that "Bedgood role". That was the role that Copeland was teed up for on Saturday and then went out on the second play. Feel like that was a huge game interrupter to the game plan coming in.

Chippy is there a cut off for burm admission. Is there an official sellout #.

Just checked. Everything is sold out, burm also. Exciting, this will be BYU game attedance (24012) plus a another 1k On after market sites GA is going for $50/60. Good seats $130 and up.

This is a big blow to their defense.

We should put Sibley on his replacement and attack that match up early and often.

Not sure we can dictate who plays sibley, but guess it doesn't hurt to ask;)

Sad to have another weather delay with a sellout crowd. Hopefully the game starts back up soon and we can keep the full home field advantage.

Severe t-storm warning in effect until 7:15. Could be a late finish. More storms later around 11.

They're getting restless.



Anybody got a video of that!???

They're getting restless.



ASOR coming through with the video

He didn't even look winded!

Radar looked to me like a window 7:30-11:00. But I’m hearing from stadium it’s gonna be much longer wait. Ugh.

I saw it and the guy next to me took a video. We are so clogged underneath the deck that I can barely move my arms

I just left to go home. No point waiting there especially when it was getting hot underneath in the concession area.

It'll be interesting to see how many come back. Such a shame because it sounded loud on TV at kick off.

If they don't start soon I don't think they get it in. Still seeing some lightning out my living room window.

Is there a limit to how late it can start?

Is there any chance this gets cancelled?

Not sure if Lynchburg has a curfew for events like this or not. But radar shows more storms coming in 10:30-11 pm. All that clears out around 1 am.

I honestly didn’t even think about the city having a curfew. I thought the NCAA may have a rule about it.

I hate this.

Does anyone know the policy for not being able to restart the game today?

Do they cancel the game? Do they play it on a different day like Monday?
