The Citadel at Samford

[PantherRob82]

21-0 Samford early in the first quarter. Wow.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Touchdown, Samford!

[MTfan4life]

What is the most surprising about the early 28-0 score is that Samford hasn't forced any turnovers. This isn't a quick pick six scenario or anything. The Citadel has 3 punts and Samford has 4 scoring drives. They are at 232 yards through less than 11 minutes of the game. Bulldog defense needs to pick it up.

[Toby]

28-0 Samford about 5 minute to go in the first Q
232 yards to 12 for Citadel. Not sure Citadel has gotten off the bus yet.

Looks like THE Samford Bulldogs have figured out some defense from last week...Holding Citadel to 14 total yards in the first 3 drives.

You can probably talk if Samford scores 42 in a half. Montana fans should have NOTHING to say about anybody elses defense...

It looks like The Citadel may have been run over by a truck if you ask me.

How is Citadel doing right now?

[Reign of Terrier]

Many teams can hold an option offense to no first downs in the first couple of drives, but few can do that and get quick touchdowns on the other side of the ball.

It's a perfect storm really.

[CHIP72]

Don't cry citdog.

[longtimemocfan]

Hodges 8-8 190 yards end of 1. Still a lot of time, but The Citadel will have to lock down defensively and find a way to move the ball.

[citdog]

Not well.

Sometimes these type of games happen. Just not EVERY week like for le high...

[citdog]

Don't cry citdog.

xlolx I can't comment on a game because the team I cheer for doesn't perform well. Please. As you should know, hoss, I'm a national sports observer. There wasn't smack in that post. Just observation. Keep the butthurt responses directed at others. xlolx

[Reign of Terrier]

If I'm Citadel I'm not punting in this game. You're already down 28, it can't get much worse and there's a diminishing point of return when it comes to bad losses (Whether you lose 50-20 or 56-20 is pretty inconsequential)

Ok. You are right. We stink today...

[JSUSoutherner]

Samford on track to put up 105 points.

[Reign of Terrier]

With respect to Samford, this is what you can call an outlier game. It reminds me of when Wofford played App State on Halloween in 2008 (God I sound old). We lost 70-24, but we were definitely a top 10 team, finishing the year 9-3, losing by 10 to South Carolina and 3 to (#1 seed) JMU in the playoffs.

these games happen. One or two mistakes and weaknesses are exploited for a score that doesn't reflect the aggregate strength of either team.

Samford is a great team. Citadel is an unproven good team. The Socon is wide open.

[ElCid]

Yeah, this is payback for 2015 when we went up 41-14 on them. It happens.

Citadel finally with a TD after the pick set them up on the 3.

[Smitty]

I wish this could happen when we play them in November...

The Citadel defense is at least a bit better than UM's. ONLY gave up 35 in a half...

[citdog]

Finally starting to play. We will NEVER be so good that we can throw our jersey out on the field and beat ANYBODY. This game, even though it isn't over, may be JUST what we needed.

[Milktruck74]

If Samford has anybody that can REMOTELY run the ball....now is the time to dig deep in that Hatcher Playbook and find a running play....otherwise, Citadel will have enough time to climb back into this thing.

[citdog]

Opening drive of the 2nd half 82 yards 5:30 for a touchdown 35-14.

They are going to need to advance more rapidly so that the clock is not an issue.

[Reign of Terrier]

That scoring drive took too long for Citadel.

Keep in mind, Samford was running the ball pretty well in the first half

One out of three? Isn't that about as often as your QB attends class? Or how many days your best defensive player snorts coke?

[dungeonjoe]

Lord, I hate the commercials on espn3. The same 4 rotated throughout the game...sleeping in poison ivy might be a good alternative.

[Reign of Terrier]

You know it's a bad game for the Citadel when Samford is out-rushing them

No, 1:3 is the number of your guy's that would Tap Shannon Faulkner.

Or possibly your 4th down conversion ratio....that one stung....if Hatcher can run some time. ANY TIME. Ballgame!!!

Yep that one hurt. 4th and 7 inside the samford 15 and get 6.9999 yards is tough...Score there and it gets interesting...

Still worth watching...I'm not changing the channel. If anybody can score 3 times in 13 mins without putting it in the air.....it's your guys. and there is a nice pass.

[citdog]

Folks we had EVERY chance to get back into this game. Turned away again on 4th down inside the samford 15 yard line. Score both times and it's 35-28 right now...

[Reign of Terrier]

Don't think the Citadel is going to pull this off. Samford is the better team (at least today). Citadel adjusted and didn't give up, but driving it twice inside the 10 and getting no points will sting, starting 35-0 or not

Yup. O line let us down. Secondary did in the first half. Oh well. We were due. Samford played lights out. I don't like it for them that they sort of let up. I don't think we improved that much.

[ElCid]

The Citadel losses first conference game since 14 Nov 2015 (UTC). Only second loss since 15 Nov 2014, when....Samford beat beat us. Good job Samford. If there was any doubt prior to this, and I had none, SOCON officially up for grabs. Although there is a lot of ball to play yet.

Like I said earlier we had EVERY opportunity to win this one. Stopped twice inside the samford 15 on 4th down in the second half. I think our men started to believe their own hype. As you know the WORST thing one can say to a The Citadel athlete is that he is good. That chip on his shoulder is NECESSARY to our success...

I know a double negative ain't never right, but what about a double article?

As CIT trying to play while 2 or more scores behind, it is, at the least, extremely awkward.

Yup. A couple different outcomes on like three plays and we are tied. But that is like horseshoes and hand grenades. I am not sure why Samford took their foot of the gas. They played conservative, and could have been burnt.

Ouch!

The Citadel gets completely and totally destroyed!

Samford - 35
