It was great seeing transfers like evans, stewart and hamilton contributing big time. too bad transfer players are ruining the sport LOL.

I think we're a ground and pound team this year. weve got a fleet of able bodies running backs and a big and deep offensive line. combine that with depth at tight end i see a lot of ball control in our future.

my hope is that we dont get too many injuries in the next couple weeks. I think we're on track for a 3-1 OOC.

Agree with your assessment about the play calling. Here's my problem with it. You have the excitement of a brand new season, big crowd, students are fired up, you kind of owe it to them to give them a fun show to hopefully make them want to come back! You can have fun against a bad opponent without opening up the entire playbook. A little bit of a missed opportunity.

We are, indeed, going to be a strong running team. Were we not short of WRs Friday night?

As far as how to playbook a game vs. an overmatched team:

I think C.C. follows his gut on the following his playbook and less on putting on a show.

Everything I saw was closer to what was good for the team and less about marketing a big show...

Okay but don't complain if they draw 5k for their next home game. I'm sure if he had his druthers, Wetherbee would prefer a show and a W. It would make his job much easier.

Bob, you have the reputation of a 'carnival barker.'

I'm sure C.C. wanted to play as many players as possible. There were only 6 games last season and little opportunity to go deep in the roster. We didn't have a weak FCS opponent to play. All games, obviously, were critical MAC games.

This was a GREAT opportunity to go deep in the roster as we know we have a very experienced 2-deep with all the 'super seniors', etc. making it hard for younger players to break into the 2-deeps or get into the game for positions, like OL, which don't substitute as frequently as say RB, DL, etc.

I hope we can open up a big lead against against another OOC opponent (hopefully UMass????).
