I wondered if Teddy's helmet mishap on the field goal kept him out of the game.

Just a matter of staying healthy and non-seniors gaining playing time from here on out. I just hope they make some of the chronic negativity posters on here choke on their bile.

Ha, there’s only six seniors, three are receivers, probably down to five seniors for a bit. What seniors are you going to sit to give underclassmen more time here on out?

I know you’re not saying to sit seniors to give younger guys more playing experience. The team is filled with young guys getting reps. If the new staff can figure out how to use them, they will return next season with a ton of game experience.

Yeah, I meant the guys who aren't seniors need the playing time. A lot of guys on that field yesterday who haven't played a lot of college ball and they need the reps. Our seniors have 4-5 years of experience and, I assume, are past the "process" portion of being a student-athlete. Two of the six seniors are team captains and we obviously need them to lead. I'm also not advocating for roster changes. The 11 players on a side were selected to start for a reason and the non-seniors need the playing time to develop

I'm pretty sure they put Rotger in there because they know he's mobile and we needed a scrambler in there to avoid sacks. Dean did fine and took what they gave us, but I agree we need Mitchell in there if he's able to go.

Are you talking about the delay on the extra point where we had to take a time out and Hooper wound up missing the point? What was the helmet mishap? Couldn't find it, or an equipment malfunction? I was wondering what the heck was going on there.

I know exactly what you meant, and agree they do need the reps.

It was really good to see Chris Conlan get some reps. He’s worked really hard and is a very talented player. I hope to see him more the last four games.

O-line is a tough place to give game time to get reps. I can tell you that this group is in the film room preparing hard each week. Unfortunately, it takes a unit to perform well. It there four guys on the same page and one not, it can get messy very easily. There are talented young linemen that with another year will be physically and mentally more prepared.

The defense has been rotating D-linemen most of the season giving young guys game experience and I saw the defensive backfield get some younger guys in situational play.

Armon had just returned the block kick for the TD. Everyone on the sideline was jacked up congratulating the special teams unit.

There is a specific place on the bench where all of the back up QB’s keep their helmets. The celebration probably extended too long. When Teddy went to get his helmet it wasn’t there, the equipment guy already had it and was waiting on the sideline with it. That confusion lead to the delay.

Nice to see Conlan & Mague get more reps, they are among the guys that will be the future of the receiving corps. OL young and will need experience. Lots of guys playing on defense. We do not know who will be in charge of those units next year.

The time of possession was remarkably close given the disparity in performance. We had eight guys catch passes.

Rotger has been #2 at QB for a couple of weeks now. That is why he played.

Well he wasn't on the two deep so I guess they either didn't know or didn't update it in the SID.

On the radio, they were suggesting Mitchell got banged up and they didn't want to risk further injury. I hope it's nothing serious.

Thanks for the background info! I remembered another question I had: in the second half Mague caught a 3rd down pass but the officials ruled it incomplete. They didn't replay it on Towson TV but Mague was making gestures to the sideline while he was running off the field that he had caught it. So why didn't the coaching staff ask for a replay review there? That was a CRUCIAL play where the Tribe was driving and were still in the game. Wound up punting instead and the game got out of reach shortly after that.

Can’t help you there.

Is Dedmon's injury severe? Our offense needs him to be efficient.

I think specific injury info should come from the staff. I’m sure it will be asked and answered either on the coaches call, the Laycock show or the Tuesday press conference.

Indeed. Any personal or injury information about players should only be discussed here if it's public information.

Yes. One of the announcers said Teddy couldn’t find his helmet, which was why he was late. I was switching back and forth between the radio broadcast and the Towson broadcast so I’m not sure which ones said it. Anyway my high school coach would have disciplined someone for that.

I don't think this offense can be efficient. They can be explosive and they need Dedmon for that.

To put this season in perspective, Towson HC Ambrose commented on post game that we had played a "brutal schedule."

Losses:
@VaTech (#1 in ACC Coastal)
@JMU
@Towson (only FCS team in country with two Top 15 wins)
Colgate (#3 total defense, #1 scoring defense in FCS)

Wins:
Bucknell
Albany

Not many teams in the country whose record would be any different at this point. Glad to see Muse back yesterday. Hope Devonte will be back. Except for possibly Maine, a lot of winnable Saturdays remain, and with Maine for homecoming, who knows. Injuries will have a league impact the remainder of the way (ie-Elon already.)

Winning season (if not playoffs, since we can't get to 7 wins) still a possibility. Going to be some worthy, 7 win CAA teams left out of the playoffs this year. Chance to knock off a current top CAA team this weekend. Good week for a Maine letdown. Go Tribe!

Watched the game recap, wish they'd show a replay and slow-mo of that pass to Mague on (I think) Rotger's first drive. Mague seemed so sure he snagged it, but no replay.
