Cason returns opening KO for TD, 93 yards. 7-0 WM.

[TigerFan17]

Wow!

[WMTribe90]

UNH three and out on first possession. WM ball at the 20 coming out.

[WMTribe90]

WM punts, UNH ball from their 13.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Thought UNH got a 1st down on their first play then went three and out???? I'm watching the Delaware-Hofstra game at the same time so I may have missed the details.

Muddy conditions in Newark. HU just broke the ice with a 48 yard FG.

[WMTribe90]

UNH three and out on their second possession. WM starts from their 41. Winning the field possession battle, need some points.

[WMTribe90]

WM first and goal from the seven.

[WMTribe90]

TD WM, TD Green and Gold!

14-0 WM

Seven yard run.

[WMTribe90]

Fumble on the tackle. WM on the recovery.

[WMTribe90]

WM ball on the 33.

[WMTribe90]

[WMTribe90]

[WMTribe90]

3rd and six from the nine. End of 1st quarter. WM 14-0.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

[WMTribe90]

Makes sense, I was looking for it on CSTV (all accsss web broadcast), but couldn't find it. Probably playing later tonight.

WM 21-0. Nine yard TD pass. If any team can come back its UNH. I'm not comfortable.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Tribe scores again, up 21-0 just into the 2nd Quarter.

Here's a bizarre stat -- only Santos and McCoy touched the ball for UNH in the 1st Qtr.! Finally Ball gets a couple of catches!!

[WMTribe90]

That was quick. Big pass to Ball and two runs. WM 21 UNH 7

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

UNH rebounded with an 80 yard drive in about 1:30, now 21-7.

[mainejeff]

Wow.....somebody did not show up today.

[WMTribe90]

WM punts, three and out. Momentum swinging a little.

[WMTribe90]

Wow.....somebody did not show up today.

Or..just maybe...WM is better than some (cugh, cough MJ) give us credit for.

[WMTribe90]

WM defense holds on third down sack, but UNH picks up first down on WM personal foul. Costly mistake. UNH goes on fourth down.

[WMTribe90]

measurement....

[WMTribe90]

WM takes over on downs!

[rcny46]

Wow.....somebody did not show up today.


Are you really that surprised?

[WMTribe90]

WM goes deep on third and a foot. First and goal from 1.

[mainejeff]

Yes, I am. (or are you talking about Maine? :( )

[WMTribe90]

Stuffed on 1st down.

[WMTribe90]

3rd and goal.

[WMTribe90]

TD WM. TD Green and Gold! WM 28 UNH 7

[mainejeff]

A complete embarrassment for UNH. William & Mary came to play today.....kudos to them. ;)

[rcny46]

Yes, I am. (or are you talking about Maine? :( )


No,I wasn't talking about Maine.I've said all along that UNH is overrated,and that I'd be very surprised if they make the round of 16.

[TigerFan17]

Man, Bill and Mary look good!! Big turnaround after the URI game! Way to go guys!

[WMTribe90]

UNH 1st down from the WM 16, 9 secs in the half.

[JMU2004]

W&M must have Mother Nature on the pay roll.....2 years in a row where rain limits the UNH Offense

[WMTribe90]

3 secs, here comes the FG unit.

[WMTribe90]

WM 28 UNH 10 at the half. This game is not over. UNH gets the ball to start the second half.

[WMTribe90]

W&M must have Mother Nature on the pay roll.....2 years in a row where rain limits the UNH Offense

Lame excuse. Both teams ahev balanced offenses. There is no wind. Both teams have had success passing. WM is out playing UNH so far.

[JMU2004]

weather is not an excuse, of course.....you are right

but it does slow down a UNH-type offense

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

A complete embarrassment for UNH.

Who pissed in your Cherrios this morning?

Geez, as much as you hate to acknowledge it, W&M is a VERY good team and they are playing extremely well today. I've said multiple times this week that W&M is the toughest A-10 opponent for UNH.

[mainejeff]

Did you see the W&M/URI game?.....that's all I have to go on.

And I take milk on my Cheerios.

[WMTribe90]

Its all about match-ups MJ. WM played falt on the road and doesn't match-up well against the triple option for some reason. We defintely match up better against UNH.

[WMTribe90]

#rd and 11 on UNH's second possession of the half. Santos dropped for no gain.

[WMTribe90]

WM takes possession on the 49. 9:11 in the 3rd.

[WMTribe90]

UNH ball on the own 13 (third possession). WM winning the field position game so far.

[WMTribe90]

UNH 1st down from the 50. Passing on every down, no huddle.

[WMTribe90]

3rd and 7, WM holds, incomplete. Getting pretty good pressure on Santos.

[WMTribe90]

WM blocks the punt!

[WMTribe90]

TD WM. TD Green and Gold! Elijah Brooks having another big day on the ground.

WM 35 UNH 10

[WMTribe90]

UNH 1st and goal from the 9.

WM sack!

[WMTribe90]

2nd and goal from 16. Intercepted by Cason in the endzone!

[WMTribe90]

UNH takes possession from the 47. Early 4th Qtr.

[WMTribe90]

UNH turns it over on downs. Tribe football. Running Brooks...

[WMTribe90]

Bust a big run on 3rd and 5, down to the 14.

[WMTribe90]

WM lines up for a FG (28 yards). Kick is blocked. Bad snap. UNH ball arounf the 30.

[WMTribe90]

4th and 2 for UNH (7:40). Incomplete. Tribe takes over on downs. That should do it.

[Tribefan]

I think W&M has UNH's #. Pretty big win against #1

[WMTribe90]

Final WM 42 UNH 10.


WM "upsets" the #1 team in the country.

[mainejeff]

W&M has my respect again..... :nod:

[Hansel]

Nice win for W&M, now I don't feel so bad about having them in my top 25, I really thought UNH was going to win fairly easily today,

Who's Number 1 now?

[89Hen]

Congrats Tribe. I've bad-mouthed you since watching the URI debacle. Now that game makes no sense.

[mainejeff]

"Who's Number 1 now?"

Well, Maine is doing it's best to make JMU look like #1.........

[blur2005]

Man, this was an impressive performance by the Tribe. Boy, was I wrong about this game.

[WMTribe90]

Congrats Tribe. I've bad-mouthed you since watching the URI debacle. Now that game makes no sense.

URI game was bad to be sure, but alot of things combined IMO for an uncharacteristic performance.

1) We played flat and uninspired
2) We did not have a good gameplan for th option
3) We are down three LBs, but the young guys are gaining experience
4) Third road game in a row to start the season

No excuses, URI outplayed us for three quarters and deserved the win. I'm not saying we won't lose another game this year, but you won't see another performance like URI from this team. There palying with a sense of urgency now. We have a colid running game and a feature TB for the first time in years. The passing game will get better as the season progresses under a first year QB. We have the receivers and the OL is doing a great job protecting the QB. Special teams have been just that. We have the best kicking tandem in the league.

1) Uhmm, I don't think that was a problem Saturday. Talk about a mirror opposite!!
2) Remember this well if Ga Southern is in your future, especially if you travel to Statesboro.

You're not kidding!! Greg Kuehn wins the WM-UNH game last year with three FGs in that monsoon. This year your punter booms two punts in the first half to pin UNH deep when it appeared they'd get good field position. Sorry, I didn't look up his name before replying.

Actually, the Hofstra punter was impressive as well in the Newark muck, but I can't recall that much about their placekicker. All I'm saying is that against UNH, WM has the best kicking tandem!

Something I found intriguing about the game was how both teams handled a third and one situation in the second quarter. I think UNH had cut the WM lead to 21-7 and was driving. At any rate they were deep in Tribe territory. Santos runs two QB keepers and comes up short. I think WM was on their drive which netted their 4th TD. They threw a 44 yd. bomb for the first down. JL even commented that "he had a contract" which allowed him to throw in that situation. Two QB keepers was very conservative play calling for UNH and surprised me at the time.

I didn't listen to much of the 2nd half at all because I was getting ready for work, but I was surprised when I saw the stats that UNH had over 400 yards of offense. Definitely a meaningless statistic, but the number surprised me after the first half I listened to.

[Tribe4SF]

I was surprised by the passing yardage as well. UNH moved out from deep in their own territory a few times, and I think that's where alot of it came from.

I remember thinking the same thing at the time. Loved the bomb on third and one in four down territory. The kinda call you can make with a lead. UNH did not delve very deep into the playbook from what I could gather via the radio broadcast.
