agreed, was thinking the same.
i dont think we really have a chance against JMU in harrisonburg- i hope im wrong- they might be as good as AFA. they're a threat to score on every possession so 3&outs will be key for us.
PS in their opening loss to NCST, that's a top 25 team, 1A of course...
With everything against us (bye week, their homecoming), I'm not expecting a win in that one. I think we'll need to keep it fairly close though if we want to get some respect come the postseason. If we only lose by single digits, that's a win in my book. They've been winning their games by 40+ thus far.
Will this be the year that UNH misses the Playoffs?
Even if they win out they can only get 7 wins.
I'm good with taking their playoff bid! lol
They're not beating JMU at the absolute minimum. Never mind our game. The streak is done. I've never seen a team go from having such hype to being in the toilet so fast.
Last year we got screwed out of a seed, but the CAA is getting enough respect this year, that if we lose a close one at JMU, but win the rest we should have a seed. We'd have three ranked wins, and only a single loss in the best FCS conference in the country. If we don't get a seed this year with a resume like that, the committee is full of s***.
I'm really worried about this upcoming game at Towson, as the CAA is a fight every week. That said, I anticipate we go 4-2 down the stretch, and finish with an 8-3 record that gets us solidly in the playoff field. A playoff bid at 7-4 is doable, but we'd be sweating it out on selection Sunday with strong teams from other conferences.
If we take care of business at home, and bury the puppy dogs at the end of the year like we should, 8-3 would be the final mark. We've been able to bury two CAA teams with the ground game in the second half, and when you play fundamental football like that, bad losses shouldn't happen. I do expect a non JMU loss somewhere though. We'll see. I'm happy to be wrong on that one.
I think I'm going to make the trip out to Towson this weekend as I haven't been to their stadium yet. Should be a great game.
