Lets get hype for this game guys! we gotta come out on top of JMU this week! They are coming out of a domination against Elon and we have to stay on top of their offense. What do we need to do to prepare for this game? We snuck in a win against URI yesterday and we need to come out swingin if we are gonna have a chance against JMU. Are we worried about any injuries? Anyone feel free to respond! I'm gonna be gettin pumped all week for this game!!!

Nobody expects a win but keeping it within two scores would be an achievement.
-
I do have to question why they chose JMU of all teams to be the homecoming game, but I'm all for it. I'll likely be coming back up to campus for this one. If we don't shatter the attendance record I'm going to be disappointed.
-
What do we need to prepare for this game tho? Like did we suffer any injuries? And the main thing is that we gotta stay positive and optimistic. If we come into this game already thinking of the outcome we will lose it. We just gotta hit the run game hard to start and drive the ball down. We also need to make tackles on D or else they will run all over us.

Ty Son Lawton and Isaiah Givens were both hurt during the Rhode Island game, hopefully we get them back for the game. Our running game is still going to be good and they need to watch Fields after everyone saw what he did to win the game on ESPN. Lets go SB lets win the Homecoming!!!
-
JMU won't be easy, but there's no need to chalk this one up as a loss. Our last two games against them were quite close (I'm convinced we win that playoff game in 17' if Carbone doesn't throw 5 INTs). Plus it's homecoming and Fields brings an athleticism we've never had at that position before. I like our chances of at the very least competing with them for four quarters.

Don't think this is a good plan. Here are the rushing stats against JMU for the (5) games this season:
WVU - 34 rushing yards, 1.4 average
St. Francis - 79 rushing yards, 2.7 average
Morgan State - 79 rushing yards, 2.3 average
Chattanooga - 84 rushing yards, 2.9 average
Elon - 33 rushing yards, 1.4 average
I think you will likely have more yards than that, simply because your QB will get some yards via running on intended pass plays. But I doubt you all go in with a game plan of slam it up the middle. JMU's defensive weakness right now is secondary and pass rush. Not saying you all can't compete, but in terms of a matchup, JMU will likely fair better against you than someone who throws more (say Towson). I think JMU would love to just fight it in the trenches with you.

Thanks for the stats, JMUFan. The problem here is SB is a pound and ground team, up the gut style of offense. If we cant move JMU defensive line, Tyquel Fields will have to stick with throwing the ball, and that might not be a bad thing. Our HC, Chuck Priore just loves to run. If he sticks with his stubborn approach, we will lose by 21. If goes with more of an option style of play, ie; Fields can either run or pass we stand a much better chance. Our D line is stout. Our CBs will get burnt if JMU plays anywhere as Utah State played.. This should be a fun game and the Weather looks good for Football.

JMU hmmmm we shall see…………

yep.

Pretty stoked to be coming up for home coming from Texas! Hopefully it's a great game!
-
SBU will have 65 Prospects and 2 HS Football Teams at the JMU Game
-
[clink]
that's a pin dropping to the floor
-
Most Colleges get a lot less prospects and teams at a game than what SBU will be getting this Saturday especially during the HS season. In addition SBU has been averaging 20 to 25 prospects at every home game.
-
Lets get HYPE!!! Game is tomorrow!! What do you all think we will expect tomorrow?! This is a huge game and if we can beat JMU we can take that momentum through the rest of the season!
-
Turns out I won't be able to make this one, but some JMU fans are expecting this one to be a cake walk. We all KNOW that isn't going to be the case. I say let's pack the house (13k minimum), get loud, and make sure it's still a game come the 4th quarter.
-
Finally football weather and a chance to pull off an upset at home (at homecoming) v a quality CAA opponent. Hoping Fields will see some early running/scrambling success v a team faster than URI and Fordham...need him to be realistic threat for JMU's defense to keep in mind. Let's put a score up early and make them punt to Constant all day long!! Go Seawolves!

I would love to see an upset fellas but I am a realist. JMU by 17.
We struggled against am 0-3 URI and got blasted by Utah State. At this stage of the game, SB cant competes against better performers. JMU proved they can when they lost to Virgina.
I just hope Coach P has some tricks up his sleeve and dont try to muscle the RB up the gut. JMU is going to expect Fields to run as well. Show them something new and maybe catch JMU on their heels..
-
GO SB
im pulling for an upset.
-
also USU is tied up with #5 LSU right now at the end of the 1st.
-
its no longer close
-
Student tailgating is massive rn. So good great atmosphere wish iiiit was like this for eeee et. Ever every game lol
-
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
I'm expecting over 13k.
-
Fullback was stripped by one guy. Hold onto the ball. Dude should sit. Next man up.
-
Godawful start. Already turned the ball over. Down 7-0. Stadium doesn't look full at all (that I may be able to chalk up to the expansion a couple years ago). Not good.
Also JMU fans mentioned something on their fan board that's fairly easy to overlook, but our production quality/equipment is lacking compared to the rest of the CAA. That should be the next area we address. It would be easier to do that though if we actually got any money from being on Flo >:( >:( >:(
-
Here we go with the run up the gut then punt gameplan....
May have spoke too soon ;D
-
Nunez looks like a baby Trent Brown. I like Tunstall and Nunez on the right side.
-
Every defensive player on the field was blocked. No one shed a block. That’s bad defense.
-
Not having Kamara in there is big right now. They're running right through the middle of the defense with ease.
-
Fields has made some big throws. This is way more offense than anyone expected so far in this game.
-
JMU has given up more points to us tonight through one half than they have to anyone else all season so far including FBS West Virginia. Fun little fact.
-
Best offense I’ve seen all season so far notice the points pile hmmmm the change working
-
We keep over-pursuing up-field and are allowing Dinoochi to just run up the damn middle of the field.
-
Our special teams had problems last week up at Maine and is giving up some big returns to JMU this week. They need to clean that up.
-
Good things happen when we can throw the ball well. This is unbelievable to see from this program. Now imagine if we played like this every week? Imagine how much more full the stands would be and how much more excitement there would be around this program.
-
Great drive. Miss the goddamn kick....
We've always had kicking troubles it seems like. Sad.
-
We can’t miss field goals in a game like this. Terrible.
-
Anderson was wide open and had that TD in his hand and just dropped it.....
Didn't drop the next one though ;D ;D
This is unbelievable. What program am I watching here? Also, why the Hell has Fields been on the bench the past year? He made throws on that drive that Carbone rarely if ever made. He was money on that drive.
-
Fields is throwing super accurate passes today
He basically threw 3 TD passes on this series. That TD pass was absurdly good.
Folks, we have ourselves a legit QB

Makes me wonder why the hell he was on the bench behind Carbone last year.....
-
Somebody brought the Voodoo out tonight!! Incredible play.
-
Another special teams debacle. Shanked the punt.
-
That awful punt set up that score. Can't afford mistakes like that and missed FG in this game.
Might be the difference overall if we lose
-
I'd like to see some designed runs for Fields in the 4th quarter. If you've been saving them all game, now is the time for them.
-
Yall are doing exactly what I thought you needed to in order to win. Get yards via pass (I'm seeing over 20 yards per completion). Better running than our other opponents but still only 3.6 per carry at the moment. Forcing plenty of turnovers. Looking to be a close one.
-
So is the 3 star rb that we recruited Brinson will redshirt this year this kid highlights says he was ready what’s happening?
-
Ageyi-obese is a shifty back. Very quick and hard to bring down. I'm impressed with him and the JMU o-line.
-
Hamilton actually has more yards.
-
They can't stop our passing game tonight.... what is this team??
-
I think the knee was down on that drive, but we've gotten screwed by officiating in the past, so I'm not going to argue with it tonight. The knee looked down.
3 point game!!! Who would have thought the game would have looked like THIS midway through the 4th?
-
I love the ballhawk mentality of this defense. You love to see that.
-
Nobody can make the tackle when we need it. Bad containment all around.
-
This is what you want. 2 minutes, with the football, and a chance to win the game on homecoming. Big opportunity here.
-
What the hell was that!?!? What....?
-
Why the hell are you kicking it now!?!?! Take one more shot before kicking it. What the Hell Coach P.
-
Wow. Nice kick.
Cool drive by Fields. I love this kid. He has moxie.
-
Wow what a huge kick
I haven't been this impressed with the team in a LONG time. What an amazing game so far
Fields may be having the best performance by a SBU QB in my memory. He has been dissecting a very good defense. He is miles ahead of Carbone as a QB. Amazing how far he's come already this year.
-
The JMU fan board is in full meltdown. Would be a bummer if we don't win this one, but damn have we played well. Should remain ranked no matter what.
-
Way too easy for them in OT there. I really wish we had taken one more shot at the endzone for the W there before the kick.
-
Would you all go for two if you score?
-
Would you all go for two if you score?
I would, but this is Coach P we're talking about here. He's about as conservative as they come. We're kicking the PAT.
-
Wow, you guys played awesome. Great game.
-
He dropped it.....
So much wrong there. I really wish we had just gone for the win in regulation. Oh well. Entertaining game. Haven't seen us play this well offensively in a while. So at least there's that.
-
Only watched the last Q/OT, after the Yankees game. Fields was stellar and is the real deal. #81 needs to make that catch and dropped an earlier one too. Tough loss. I wanted them to run one more play at end of regulation, but clutch FG. I know the strategic call is to play D first in OT, but I would have taken ball first, just due to the mojo the Offense had from the late FG. SBU May bump up a few places in the rankings with this effort.
-
Really like the offensive playcalling today- I think Priore et al can finally open up the offense now that we have a QB who can make deep throws. Carbone just didn't have the arm strength or accuracy to make a bunch of those throws that Fields made today. I can't say enough about Fields today- his accuracy on the intermediate and deep balls was absurdly good. I think the game is starting to slow down for him.
While it stinks that we lost, I am still really excited about the rest of the season.
Tip my hat to JMU- DiNucci is a tough as nails QB. They have a very good team- their RB are also very talented.
-
I thought he caught the TD at first. It looked like more clutchness. Then the whites stormed the field.

He had it, but couldn't hang onto it. If it is a TD, I definitely think we should have gone for 2 and the win.
-
lots of caused turnovers. couldve won maybe if we hit that late FG.
nice late drive (like the URI game). fields is really developing nicely. the team is starting to look different with a mobile QB that can throw downfield and stretch a defense. lots to be excited about from the way this team competed tonight.
JMU pass rush is strong, particularly late in the game. ualbAnY lost. box says 12,800 attendance. ageye is super fast.
-
I hope this is the beginning of Ty Son Lawton he is a talented RB time to shake things up and Fields is the real deal can’t wait for the rest of the season
-
Sam Kamara’s injury really could have been a fame changer. JMU ran the ball way too well and without him to stuff the run they were able to move the ball downfield a lot through the run.
-
Not having Kamara hurt, but his backup played admirably and made some plays. This game was within reach which is all you can ask for when playing a team as talented as JMU. We scored more points on JMU than any other program in the last four seasons other than FBS North Carolina in 2016 (the year they won the natty).
Eventually though you have to start converting moral victories into actual victories. One thing that has always frustrated me with coach P is that his teams have a tendency to play up/down to the competition. So we'll look great in a game against a good opponent, but then lose stupid games like Albany and SEMO last year, or Sacred Heart a few years ago.
This win should give us hope for the rest of the season for sure, but it won't be a cakewalk. The road ahead of us is still stacked and we'll need to finish 8-4 with a ranked win or two to be comfortably in the postseason I say. Ty'son Lawton was spectacular last night and really proved he can be the lead back if White can't hang onto the football. That depth is good.
One thing you really have to think about though is that if Fields is this good, why the hell was he on the bench behind Carbone last year? This was something I anticipated. He has a much stronger arm than Carbone and was making passes Carbone could never even dream of, plus he's got the athleticism. Why wasn't he playing sooner if he had this in him? You really have to wonder.
-
I agree Fields should have started earlier but there was no real reason to just randomly take Carbone out as starter unless he was really sucking - he “led” the team to 10-3 and last year they were 7-3 before he implored.
-
Sam Kamara’s injury really could have been a fame changer. JMU ran the ball way too well and without him to stuff the run they were able to move the ball downfield a lot through the run.
When did Kamara get injured? Do we know what is wrong with him and when will he return.
-

You always play your best people. Competitive teams have an open competition every year at every position. It's clear that we weren't doing that at quarterback. It's possible Fields just needed more time, but it's natural to wonder why we stuck with Carbone for so long when we had a talent like Fields riding the bench. Fields is our best qb since Essington. Carbone was serviceable at best.
-
Do u really think they dont play their best players and they arent a competitive program?. Campi has insight that most dont have and is very close to the program. He had said quite a few times that Fields wasnt ready the last couple of yrs. The is college football where you earn your spot. QB's usually take the longest. Although I think Carbone was thrust into action early when he wasnt ready his freshman yr, he turned out to have a very nice career at SB with two playoff appearences, a playoff win and some great moments. What if's never happen.
-
The OC/QB Coach for SBU is Carmen Felus and when he first got Fields as a true freshman even though he was a great athlete he only was starter in HS for one year so it took him till now to have him ready to be a College QB and he’s still learning.
On the other hand Carbone was a walk-on who they saw as a HB but he became the QB because they had no one else. They recruited many QB’s but couldn’t get the ones they wanted.
Coach Felus took Carbone as far as he could and he has done a lot for Fields. Jack Cassidy has also come a long way but the reason he’s not starting is because of Fields athleticism and his ability to make things happen . The player that they all love is Zamott and he will see playing time at some point this year or next. Also in the Fall of 2020 Drew Guttieri will arrive.
In my opinion the QB position will be in good shape for years to come.
Coach P has said he likes the way the offense is going and don’t be surprised at some point this year that they figure a way to get the TE/HB used more often.
People have why don’t we get higher rated players well I don’t have the list but some of the recruits that were at the game last night are in that category and Raekwon Smith from Curtis HS is a 3 Star DB and has already committed.
A lot of this is my opinion and some is not but I will try and pass on whatever I can
-
Thanks for the info as always Campi
Some guys just develop slower, particularly in the Northeast. I was thrilled seeing Field sling it all over the field yesterday- he has improved even from Game 1 this season. Let's just hope he continues to develop.
Lawton looks like he will be a star. He's strong and has great quickness. Should be a fun remainder of the season
-
Stat I saw on Twitter - each of White, Lawton and Nekhet have had a 100 yd multi TD game this year. White curiously got only one snap yesterday but I believe I saw him on special teams coverage so I don’t know what’s going on with him. It’s not quite Liotine/Gowins of last year but all of the three RBs have impressed so far. And to think we have Brinson waiting in the wing.
-
Also they have another Freshman RB that’s being redshirted and might bring in another one for the 2020 Class
-
yes- the situation at RB is looking good- continuing a nearly uninterrupted run of talented RBs at SBU (gowins, bedell, brock, maysonet, cuttino, gowins, coker, liotine, etc).

That was a great game. Proud of the wolves.
we came just a bit short!
Biggest personal highlight from Saturday: I got my selfie with Miguel Maysonet!!
-
Campi, Do you know the extenct of Kmara injury.
-
The only thing I can find out is that it will be a game time decision if he will be able to play nothing on what type of injury he sustained
