And it worked!

The left student section ( baptist side to my back) never had more than 5 or 6 students. If they can pack that side out, it could become a consistent 19k plus crowd. The home side was fantastic. Very encouraged to see what is happening.Chippy wrote:thepostman wrote:Aside from the penalties this was a perfect performance.Family Weekend.
How did we draw 20,000 for Gardner Webb?? Wow.
I am encouraged by everything about today.
We have had family weekend in the past and it never has given us a homecoming type bump in attendance. It's good to see

Offense: A. Despite losing a couple touchdowns to penalties, including that sweet pass play from Henderson to Peterson (I am surprised they haven't tried that before today), the offense played well and dominated as expected. DJ is starting to show wear from being the feature back at only 185 pounds and the foot/ankle thing is worth monitoring but not something that I would blame on the coaches necessarily
Defense: A. Where was this group the last three games? After getting lit up like the 4th of July and Memorial Day put together, the boys up front practically lived in the Gardner Webb backfield and the team that scored 47 last week never even crossed the plus 20 yard line during the game. Kenny Scott dominated Kenny Cook the week after he went for 251 against VMI. Jacob Hagen didnt get his name called tonight which was unusual but on a night when everybody contributed, not necessarily a bad thing
Special Teams: C+. Lunsford hit all his kicks, including breaking one of the oldest football records at the school. Dakota Kelly did a solid job returning punts and really the only "mistake" was Isaac Brown slipping on the one kick. Trey Turner is becoming a real big weapon for us after punter was a major question mark heading into the season

I do not want to take anything against our guys, they played a very good game, but this will not look like a stellar win at years end. GW may not win another game. I will sure be pulling for them next week though.flameshaw wrote:GW is just a bad team.Before kickoff, didn't LU and G-W have identical 4-3 records?
