The game is very...very physical...but it is just evident that Monmouth wants this one much more. The push by the Hawks line is tremendous.

I am more than a bit shocked so far...

[danefan]

A bit shocked isn't the word.....

[Dane96]

Either that...or Wagner is THAT good.

Yeah, I'm done for today!

As you know, MU is well coached and had 2 weeks to prepare. Their no huddle and good mix of run/pass is killing CCSU. We look totally unprepared. No excuse from me - CCSU's Defense just didn't show up and our Offense has way too many turnovers.

Also, I think UA fans can relate from a few seasons ago - CCSU just can't pass! Our QBs while good athletes and runners, just don't have the touch or decision making to be very effective.

That being said, MU young players are starting to play well and it won't be long until they are back near the top of the NEC. They could still be a challange for the Danes.

[Dane96]

Well...I didnt want to say it before you did-- But I feel your pain.

Watching BOTH qb's trying to pass is painful. They look like half-backs who had their number called on some trick play.

I cannot begin to tell you how good it is to know that we have not one...but THREE solid qb's (we have Blasinsky backing up...and a nasty frosh...plus two redshirts who have talent).

Just like Fordie did...you guys have to make it your job to recruit a QB for next year.

You guys will turn it around...and I think we have a rough schedule left (RMU, at CCSU, at Monmouth).

BTW...that weather looks awful.

[aceinthehole]

CCSU scored, but is still down 51-36 in the 4Q.

[Dane96]

That was a nice drive.

[dgreco]

[Dane96]
