I'm all for it. However, I don't want them to forgot about the home grown guys, and that's why I bring them up. I like them to get the credit they deserve as well.

As for the other ones on the board, it's typical elitist CAA posting.
Is it really an upset when the team you picked to win is receiving more votes in every major poll than the other?

Delaware desparately wants WM to be successful so they can point to the WM victory as a good one. So, the comment about WM's offense is for real is another way of saying "Delaware's defense isn't that bad". Delaware fans REALLY don't want WM to lose this weekend. If WM loses, Delaware has nothing to hang their hat on.
Just keep that in mind as you read Delaware fans predictions.

On the ground is their problem as they gave up 249 on the ground to VMI and 286 to Delaware.OK fine so I'm confused again. Anyway we should win this game in a close one. I think Brock should get closer to 200 yds passing, and with Rashad back we should get 200 yds rushing as well.

Defensive stats against VMI really should be taken with a huge grain of salt. VMI hardly throws it at all, and they run it so much that they're bound to run for 200-plus every game. Actually, holding the Keydets to 249 yards on the ground is somewhat impressive, considering their entire scheme is running the ball.

Even though they run, they run it in so many different ways that you can't just stuff eight in the box and plug the middle.Chris Lang wrote:yes but at the same time if the opponents knows this can't they cheat pretty much everyone up to the line of scrimmage and dare you to throw?

When was the last time LU beat W&M?
Simply, if you guys win it will be cause for celebration and if tribe wins it will be just another W against LU. Not a shot at your team or anything, but until you beat us you are the underdogs.
W&M 28 over Liberty 24 - I'm worried about this one. Those days during my freshman year when we would beat them 56-0 are over. They're a team now. But I think that with Joe Nicolaus back the O should have enough punch to get through it.A W&M fan using their brain and not living in the past. Thank you TribeGuy. That's a legitimate prediction.
