W&M vs New Hampshire

[ITmonarch10]

William & Mary Tribe (1-4, 2-6 CAA) at No. 11 New Hampshire Wildcats (5-1, 7-2), noon (Comcast SportsNet)

Statements for thought

"The Tribe is the lone CAA team that the Wildcats have not beaten in the Sean McDonnell era (0-9). Seven of those nine games have been decided by 10 points or less. The College is the only team to defeat UNH at Cowell Stadium since the start of the 2008 season, and it's turned the trick twice. The Tribe turned back the Wildcats 38-34 to spoil Homecoming on Oct. 11, 2008, and W&M snapped New Hampshire's school-record 12-game home winning streak Nov. 6, 2010, 13-3. "

"The 'Cats play well at home and are 23-2 at Cowell Stadium since Nov. 17, 2007. However, both of those defeats came against William & Mary in 2008 and 2010."

"122 WEEKS IN A ROW: UNH owns the nation's longest streak of Top-25 appearances with 122 in a row. The streak dates back to Sept. 13, 2004. Delaware, at a distant 39 weeks, has the second-longest ranked tenure in the CAA."

UNH has been to the playoffs 8 years in a row



Now lets put all those stats in perspective. W&M still owned New Hampshire for 9 straight years. Is this the year Sean Mcdonnell's Wildcats beat W&M?

[Mattymc727]

UNH is at home. UNH is 7-2, W&M is 2-6. UNH is due for a win and is fighting for the CAA crown....

Ill take W&M....

[Mattymc727]

Is this game on Comcast Sportsnet? I thought the Towson game was?

UNH has not defeated ODU in the Sean McDonnell era either. xblehx :D

That said:
W&M @ UNH 24-38 Will the downright spooky W&M mastery of UNH continue? Ortiz may be the future for William and Mary if he doesn't kill himself first, and the Tribe keeps it close early, but the defense eventually wears down.

[Mattymc727]

Half hour until kick-off

[NHwildEcat]

BTW this game is not televised. Season finale against Towson is on CSN.

[Mattymc727]

really really really stupid play by vailas at the W&M 30. UNH fumble, tribe ball...............

[NHwildEcat]

really really really stupid play by vailas at the W&M 30. UNH fumble, tribe ball...............

I'm not a fan of the two QB situation. Let the frosh have the ball and sit Vailas.

[R3TRO]

UNH needs to cut it out with this 2 QB ****. Its stupid and there is no rhythm.

[Mattymc727]

It is idiotic, you lose an athlete, for what? 1 trick play every 10 terrible plays?

[Mattymc727]

W&M punt

[Mattymc727]

UNH punt

[Mattymc727]

Terrible punt kicking into the wind. W&M ball at their 45, no score yet

[Mattymc727]

W&M looks bgger and faster IMO

[NHwildEcat]

....amd W&M score...

[Mattymc727]

W&M TD. I feel sick

[NHwildEcat]

7-0 1Q 4:12 left.

[NHwildEcat]

W&M TD. I feel sick

The team has been starting out slow often...they'll pick up a TD on the next drive.

So long as they cut out this 2 Qb ****...

[Mattymc727]

Wind looks to be a big factor too

[NHwildEcat]

7-0 End of Q1.

[Mattymc727]

7-0 Tribe end of qtr. UNH at W&M 25

[R3TRO]

This is a nice drive. We need to get some points out of it.

[NHwildEcat]

FG is good...barely. 7-3 W&M.

[Mattymc727]

7-3 Tribe

[Mattymc727]

Why switch QBs at the goal line? Vailas goes all the way down the feld, they make a dumb switch, and stall

[NHwildEcat]

Why switch QBs at the goal line? Vailas goes all the way down the feld, they make a dumb switch, and stall

Over coaching IMO.

[Mattymc727]

terrible call by the ref

[Mattymc727]

If any team is having a rough year with their offense, play UNH...

[Mattymc727]

UNH ball at their own 8. Big drive here before the half

[Mattymc727]

And UNH up to the 45

[Mattymc727]

UNH to the tribe 18

[Mattymc727]

UNH TD!

[Mattymc727]

UNH went for 2 11-7 UNH

[NHwildEcat]

Good drive! 2-pt conversion good. 11-7 UNH leads.

I still don't get that 2-pt play call, but it worked this time.

[NHwildEcat]

In other CAA action right now, Towson just blocked a Delaware FG attempt. 7-0 Towson, early Q2.

[Mattymc727]

Caprio is hurt. W&M ball, 3:40 to go in the half

[R3TRO]

The UNH live feed has gotten much much better IMO.

[R3TRO]

Oh great. A backup W&M quarterback. We know how this is going to go.

[Mattymc727]

The UNH live feed has gotten much much better IMO.

Agreed. With the quick replays too, it has become pretty good coverage

[Mattymc727]

wow, 18 yard punt. UNH ball with 1:14 to go, 2 timeouts

[NHwildEcat]

Agreed. With the quick replays too, it has become pretty good coverage

Good to know, I have refused to get it because of the lack in quality. But if you guys say it has improved I may look into it for next fall.

How is the quality for other sporting events? Curious to know.

Pretty solid. In fact, i would say the picture quality is just as good as csnne if not better

[Mattymc727]

35 seconds. UNH at the 30

[Mattymc727]

Roughing the QB, dumb play by W&M

[Mattymc727]

Timeout UNH, their last one. 26 second left in the half. UNH at the 10 yard line of W&M, second and 5

[Mattymc727]

What a drive by UNH, this offense can MOVE

[Mattymc727]

TD UNH

[NHwildEcat]

TD! 17-7...PAT still to come.

[Mattymc727]

18-7 UNH, 16 seconds left in the half

[NHwildEcat]

18-7 UNH leads at the half!

[Mattymc727]

Halftime

[Mattymc727]

Have to keep the petal to the metal on O. This game has plenty left to play

[NHwildEcat]

Agreed. This offense can get into a real groove. And they need the D to force W&M to a 3-and out to begin the Q3. Then drive that ball down the field and tack on another TD. Need this win.

[dwtime]

C'mon UNH D!

[Mattymc727]

Wow, good job D, jesus

[Mattymc727]

And just as I say that, UNH holds, FG attempt here

[Mattymc727]

Its good, 18-10 UNH. Big drive for the wildcats coming here

[Mattymc727]

RJ drops it. UNH to punt.....

[Mattymc727]

Short field for W&M

[Mattymc727]

W&M into UNH territory

[Mattymc727]

TD W&M, so much for the petal to the metal....

[R3TRO]

Welp. Here we go.

[Mattymc727]

All tied up folks... 18-18

[dwtime]

Tell the UNH defense its third quarter time to come out of the locker room!

[Mattymc727]

UNH to punt........

[R3TRO]

WOW... lets go away from the run.

[dwtime]

W&M could put 10 grandmothers and a one legged man on the field and they would still take it to UNH. Laycock just flat out-coaches McConnell for some reason every time......

[Mattymc727]

This is sickening to watch actually. A complete meltdown for UNH right now. W&M ball in UNH territory

[UNH72Plus]

Three and out on a dying quail to Harris, another lousy punt! The whole team is screwing the pooch!

[Mattymc727]

Big FG attempt for W&M

[Mattymc727]

UNH stops the bleeding...Missed FG

[ITmonarch10]

All tied up folks... 18-18

Stomp these fools

[Mattymc727]

Stomp these fools

I wish I could do something. End of qtr 3, 18-18, UNH ball around midfield

[Mattymc727]

UNH gets a FG, 21-18 UNH

[NHwildEcat]

11:22 left in the game. Let's hold 'em!

[Mattymc727]

UNH really struggling to stop the run

[Mattymc727]

Wow, the defense screwed up big time on that 3rd down...

[R3TRO]

WOW.... That hurts

[Mattymc727]

Houston just twisted his ankle...Not good

[Mattymc727]

3rd down, lets see if UNH can hold for a FG

[Mattymc727]

1st and goal....

[Mattymc727]

3rd and goal

[UNH72Plus]

McBride down, maybe we can win by attrition!

[Mattymc727]

4th and inches. Timeout W&M, I think they are going for it

[NHwildEcat]

NEED TO STOP THEM...ugh.

[NHwildEcat]

DAMN

[Mattymc727]

TD W&M...

[dwtime]

W&M doesn't matter when where or how we know the result

[Mattymc727]

UNH has to do the same thing they did against Richmond

[NHwildEcat]

They are more than capable of pulling out a W today...let's go boys.

[Mattymc727]

I dont like having to beat Towson to make the playoffs. This is a must win game, this drive could be the season IMO

[Mattymc727]

WTF Steriti, get down you dumb dumb

[R3TRO]

Steriti running backwards on the return. Don't want to make it any easier.

[dwtime]

Run? C'mon UNH come up with some plays!!!!!

[Mattymc727]

Run? C'mon UNH come up with some plays!!!!!

Plenty of time, we dont want to leave any time for W&M

[NHwildEcat]

TD!!!!!!!!!!

[Mattymc727]

UNH TD, way too much time left

[R3TRO]

That was fast.

[dwtime]

NICO!!!!!! After a great Orlando pass catch

[NHwildEcat]

28-25 UNH with 4:14 left in the game! Let's go D.

[Mattymc727]

Have to leave it up to the defense....yikes

[NHwildEcat]

Time for the defense to get their **** straight and earn their keep!

[dwtime]

UNH up 28-25

[Mattymc727]

here ww go, nut up or shut up

[Mattymc727]

Jesus, its the f'n BASICS, TACKLE

[Mattymc727]

W&M in UNH territory

[Mattymc727]

Evans misses a huge tackle for loss, gain of 5

[Mattymc727]

Interception!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dwtime]

YES INT!!!!!

[Mattymc727]

Just get 1 first down, for the love of god, and my health

[NHwildEcat]

Are the officials new? Can't figure out the clock.

[Mattymc727]

W&M is going to get the ball back here, no timeouts for them, 57 secs here.

[dwtime]

a run up the middle, how novel........play action pass and game is over why?

[Mattymc727]

Ball at the W&M 17, what coverage!

[Mattymc727]

44 seconds

[Mattymc727]

15 Seconds, ball at the W&M 42

[NHwildEcat]

9 seconds..

[dwtime]

Cmon UNH D!!!

[Mattymc727]

2 seconds left. Hail Mary Time......

[dwtime]

2 seconds left

[dwtime]

2 seconds left. Hail Mary Time......

no pun intended? LOL Cmon UNH

[Mattymc727]

WE DID IT!!!! 14 YEARS LATER!!!!

[NHwildEcat]

Finally!!!

[dwtime]

UNH wins!!!!!!! that should get us in the playoffs for another year!

[NHwildEcat]

A week to prepare for Towson now, and with a win there a CAA title/auto bid and I would think at least one home game this year in the playoffs. Really hoping for a seed.

[NHwildEcat]

UNH wins!!!!!!! that should get us in the playoffs for another year!

I'd say that does it!

[dwtime]

The King and Queen are dead long live the Cats!!!!!

[ITmonarch10]

Good Job Wild Cats ... The Curse has finally been broken and GL in the playoffs.

[tribefan40]

Well we certainly made it interesting, congrats to the cats and McDonnell for finally getting over the hump. This one brings our away game loss total to 4, by a grand total of 8 points.

Tribefan tell your boys to stop playing CAA spoiler XD.

[tribefan40]

Ha we would actually have to win one to have that title. A two game win streak here at the end would make me feel a whole lot better...

[Mattymc727]

As I said on the UNH board, this is a good W&M team, but im not happy with the way UNH has played of late. UNH seems to be messing around during must win games and going away from what works, which is running the ball and no huddle. The UNH defense still has not showed any improvement, and continue to be picked apart and rely on turnovers.

Because of the schedule, UNH is a playoff team, but not a title contender, not yet.

[soccerguy315]

grats UNH
