UD vs JMU

[TexasTerror]

JMU puts the brakes on UD's offense early.

3rd and 9. Shotgun and Devlin is sacked.

3-and-out. JMU to get the ball.

13:45 1Q

[mcveyrl]

Moats with his eighth sack.

EDIT: of the year, not in this game, that'd be some kind of record or something

[TexasTerror]

Are we expecting a low scoring game? It's super early, but the defenses on both sides are not giving much wiggle room.

Another punt. JMU goes 3-and-out.

[mcveyrl]

I would not expect JMU to score many points. Whether UD scores a lot is up to their O-line and Devlin. It sounds like we're getting good pressure.

[LacesOut]

Sorry, but LOL at that throw by the JMU QB. Had the TE wide open running down the seam and the throw wasn't anywhere near the guy.

[TexasTerror]

I would not expect JMU to score many points. Whether UD scores a lot is up to their O-line and Devlin. It sounds like we're getting good pressure.

Thorpe seems like he got put in a rough situation with the injury to your starter. Going to be a long way until the end of the season, eh?

Devlin should be able to get the Blue Hen offense going shortly, would think.

[jmufan999]

that's because he sucks, Laces.

[LacesOut]

that's because he sucks, Laces.

Oh. Again, sorry.

JMU's defense looks good though!

[TexasTerror]

Come on guys! Pay attention.

Seemed like everyone thought the play was dead. UD really botched that one and now JMU took advantage.

For those not watching, Devlin fumbles. Ball rolls around and not many paying attention. JMU gets it in UD territory.

WAIT - play overturned. UD is going to punt...what the heck was that?

[mcveyrl]

radio is saying that was a fumble. anybody on tv can confirm?

[TexasTerror]

And another player does not pay attention! JMU player hit on the ball coming down...JMU player was out of bounds.

UD recovers.

Commentators ragging on the refs some.

[mcveyrl]

Can't catch a break.

[TexasTerror]

radio is saying that was a fumble. anybody on tv can confirm?

Hard to say. It was one of those 'tuck rule' type things where you could've gone either way. Would have been better if the officials went with their instincts...

JMU getting some pressure though once more...

[LacesOut]

radio is saying that was a fumble. anybody on tv can confirm?

Saw two replays and I still couldn't tell if it was a fumble or not.

Tough break.

[mcveyrl]

Saw two replays and I still couldn't tell if it was a fumble or not.

Tough break.

When it ain't bouncing your way, it ain't bouncing your way...

[mcveyrl]

At least we bucked up in the red zone.

[LacesOut]

Oh my. UD fakes a FG on 4th and 5 and no dice.

Well done JMU.

[TexasTerror]

Fake FG comes up short...

Would think you'd want to come away with points, though I guess your defense is playing good enough to like this field possession.

[mcveyrl]

Wow...why not take the points against our O...

[LacesOut]

JMU's offense has to do something today. Even if it's just holding on to the ball with some long drives to keep UD's offense off the field.

Turn it up, QB!!!! Damn.

[LacesOut]

Oooooooooh now a fake punt by JMU!!!!!! Nice.

1st down at their 40.

[mcveyrl]

Nobody wants to kick.

[LacesOut]

Nobody wants to kick.

LOL

Hey this is JMU's second QB, correct? So who is the backup to this guy?

JMU punt coming. Most likely.

[mcveyrl]

LOL

Hey this is JMU's second QB, correct? So who is the backup to this guy?

JMU punt coming. Most likely.

True freshman. Trying to preserve his redshirt.

[LacesOut]

I'm pretty sure I've seen false starts by the UD OLine about three times now. If anyone else is watching, check out the RG and RT.

I could be seeing things though.

Another JMU sack.

[LacesOut]

End of 1st quarter.

Exciting game.

Score is..........0-0.

[mcveyrl]

Mike Shickman is acting like the fumble was the worst call in the history of the world...haha.

[LacesOut]

Mike Shickman

Aware me who he is please?

[LacesOut]

UD attempting a FG.

Good.

3-nil Blue Cocks.

[mcveyrl]

Aware me who he is please?

sorry. our radio guy.

[mcveyrl]

Scotty's still dangerous. Our radio guys are saying the late hit's not a good call.

[LacesOut]

JMU has no passing game at all??

[LacesOut]

Our radio guys are saying the late hit's not a good call.

It was very close. Could have not been called, too. Kinda like the fumble/non fumble by Devlin .

OMG they try to run it on 4th and 3. hahahaa

[mcveyrl]

It was very close. Could have not been called, too. Kinda like the fumble/non fumble by Devlin .

OMG they try to run it on 4th and 3. hahahaa

Anytime we need a first down. We run it.

4th and 3. Run it.

3rd and 8. Run it.

3rd and 45. Run it.

[jmufan999]

can i just say something?

thank you guys SO MUCH for keeping this score thread just that.... a SCORE THREAD. i hate it when you have to go through 15 pages to find any scores. you guys rock, my work day is sucking slightly less. really appreciate it a lot, though.... so please keep it up for those of us toiling away! is "toiling" a word?

[Eight Legger]

This game is brutal to watch. The late hit was not even in question -- McGee was obviously out of bounds. I don't know who could say it was a questionable call.

If JMU could throw AT ALL, this would be 7-3 JMU right now.

[mcveyrl]

Well, since there's so much scoring...xrolleyesx

which is why i can't figure out why we didn't lose to UR by about 50. you guys must have just had an off day but you're far, far, far, far better. i digress.

[LacesOut]

Ooooh a pick by JMU.

Still 3-0 UD.

[mcveyrl]

Interception Dukes!

jmufan9999 it's 3-0 Second Quarter.

[mcveyrl]

jmufan9999 it's still 3-0

[LacesOut]

This game is brutal to watch.


Guess what?? So was your game against UD. BRUTAL TO WATCH. Until the 4th quarter or so.

[mcveyrl]

couple of yards for sullivan.

2nd and 8.

It's 3-0 Delaware.

[mcveyrl]

Wow. A complete pass.

EDIT: It's 3-0 Delaware

[Eight Legger]

which is why i can't figure out why we didn't lose to UR by about 50. you guys must have just had an off day but you're far, far, far, far better. i digress.

Your D was great that day, our offense struggled in the second half and I think Dudzik gave your O a little boost. And I feel like Thorpe made some good passes downfield here and there. Finally just made one today in this game...

[LacesOut]

LOL

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

But either way, score is 3-0 UD.

[mcveyrl]

3rd and 5 at the UD 47.

It's 3-0 Delaware.

[mcveyrl]

Interception by UD at the 33.

It's 3-0 UD.

[LacesOut]

My head hurts.

UD 3
JMU 0

[mcveyrl]

3rd and 23 for the blue hens.

It's 3-0 Deli wear

[LacesOut]

Like a 80 yard punt by UD.

[mcveyrl]

Like a 80 yard punt by UD.

Yep. Dukes ball at their own 2.

3-0 UDel

[LacesOut]

Someone please give a score update!!!!!!!!!

[mcveyrl]

Someone please give a score update!!!!!!!!!

Sorry. After the commercial break. It's 3-0 Hens

[LacesOut]

Holy hell another sack by JMU. They have like five.

UD 3
MUJ goosegg

[mcveyrl]

Another sack.

3-0 Delaware.

[mcveyrl]

Don't we get points for sacks?

Nevermind, that's the CFL.

EDIT: Mea Culpa - Still 3-0 UD.

[LacesOut]

Offenses looking great.

DU 3
UJM most likely still has no points

[LacesOut]

Maybe the game will get more exciting at halftime.

It's almost halftime.

I forget the score.

[mcveyrl]

3rd and 5. And we run....

3-0 UD

[LacesOut]

1 minute left til half.

UD's ball at their 30, no timeouts left.

And just like that a 15 yard pass by Devlin.

[LacesOut]

This could be the fastest half of football in the history of football. Game started about an hour ago.

36 seconds left. UD punting. Again.

[Eight Legger]

This could be the worst half of football in the history of football.

Fixed it for you..

[mcveyrl]

Halftime.

3-0 Ud

[LacesOut]

24 seconds left.

JUM taking a knee.

Second half is all yours, mcveyrl!

I'm outta here, heading out to the local sports bar for some beers and lunch.

Blue Birds 3
Purple Puppies 0

[mcveyrl]

After the first song by UD's band...

3-0 Delaware

[soccerguy315]

JMU's defense is quite good. They would definitely be a CAA contender with Dudzick (sp).

[th0m]

Whadda ya know

[mcveyrl]

Hey Hey!

Touchdown Dukes!

7-3 JMU

[th0m]

I've never heard Mike Schickman so happy about scoring a TD in a long time! Then again, we haven't scored a TD in a long time... 7-3 JMU.

[mcveyrl]

Here's the UD video feed BTW:

http://www.ums.udel.edu/udlive/embed-q.php?t=r&p=2&s=udsports-live.rm

FYI - It's significantly ahead of the MadiZone feed so you can't watch and listen to Shickman.

[mcveyrl]

Big time red zone defense.

UD to try a FG...good

7-6 Dukes.

BTW, the end zone stands looked kind of empty. Isn't this homecoming?

[mcveyrl]

Wow...deep pass play to McCarter...McCarter fumbles into the end zone.

UD runs the fumble back to the 42.

[mcveyrl]

Still a good pass by Thorpe...encouraging.

[Eight Legger]

Neither team has any interest in winning this game, apparently. JMU should be ahead by a couple TDs at least by now.

[mcveyrl]

Yea, we don't know what to do! Not used to this...

[mcveyrl]

Good pressure on 4th and 2. Devlin forced the pass, incomplete.

Dukes ball.

7-6 Dukes.

[mcveyrl]

Who says that guy can't pass!!!

Deep pass to McCarter! Ball at the UD 10.

[Eight Legger]

Actually hung onto that one! Nice play

[mcveyrl]

Yep. Then a TD pass to H'burg's own Charlie Newman.

Geeze...missed PAT...13-6 Dukes.

[mcveyrl]

End of 3rd

13-6 Dukes.

Dukes ball. 3rd and 7.

[mcveyrl]

Big 3rd down conversion.....

But...a holding penalty negates it..

No es bueno.

[mcveyrl]

Wow. Caussin with a great catch on a good pass by Thorpe.

[mcveyrl]

Another Dukes 1st down.

Defense is getting some good rest.

[mcveyrl]

Wow... Thorpe completes for another first down.

1st down at the UD 17.

[mcveyrl]

Thorpe with a nice run for 1st down.

Ball at the UD 6.

[paward]

We having our own problems with Towson, but go JMU!

[mcveyrl]

TD Dukes.

20-6 Dukes

9:57 left in 4th.

[Jackman]

I think this newly invented forward pass concept is really going to catch on.

[jmufan999]

wow this does not look good for UD. down 14 to one of the worst JMU offenses we've had in a long, long, long time. even if we lose, i'll still take it. at least we're competitive.

[Jackman]

Since there's no way Delaware is covering the point spread now, go JMU.

[mcveyrl]

Moats has another sack.

[mcveyrl]

And another sack.

[GP91HEN]

Wow. UD oline getting schooled. 7 sacks now

[dwtime]

yikes the hens are taking the pipe today.....

[mcveyrl]

Gotta give Devlin credit for being elusive.

[mcveyrl]

What kind of odds would I have gotten that Thorpe would have more passing yards then Devlin??

[Jackman]

JMU had 15 sacks on the year coming into this game. Maybe they can beat that today.

[GP91HEN]

This is why I don't like bye weeks. The Hens got overconfident reading their own press clippings:(xmadx

[Madisonian]

This is why I don't like bye weeks. The Hens got overconfident reading their own press clippings:(xmadx

With our injuries this season, we would have loved a BYE week. Wait, we took that in the first week (well scheduled).

[mcveyrl]

UD moving down the field.

We're bleeding yards.

[T-Dog]

Wow, color me surprised. This is a huge blow to Delaware's playoff hopes. This means they have to beat Navy AND Nova on the road (provided JMU doesn't blow it).

[Jackman]

Towson goes up on Richmond in the 3rd. I'm losing all my money today.

[Jackman]

This game isn't over, I don't trust JMU's playcalling with a late lead.

[mcveyrl]

OMG!!! UD has to use a TO after their receiver got out of bounds.

They'll have to onside kick if they score now.

[mcveyrl]

Another sack.

[Madisonian]

PICKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcveyrl]

UD has to take injury TO.

[Madisonian]

Not bad, Dukes... Just hold onto the ball. And let's put that elusive 3rd win on the books.

[Eight Legger]

Nice effort by the Dukes. This could have been a real blowout save for a few plays. UD looked confused all day long.

[GP91HEN]

UD a total no show today. Good job Dukes. As much as I hate to say that xsmhx

[paward]

Although I have no stake in this it is good to see the JMU fans get off Thrope back, for a minute. Good job JMU and THROPE!

[MacThor]

But....but......Devlin is the second coming!

[Madisonian]

Just the fans who don't remember our program pre-2004. I would think with UR's recent success, any future drop in performance will lead to some irate bandwagoners too.

[mcveyrl]

Although I have no stake in this it is good to see the JMU fans get off Thrope back, for a minute. Good job JMU and THROPE!

FWIW, I've never been on his back. I always thought he just needed some time. I have no delusions that he will do this consistently this year, or even next year, but I know he'll be really good.

[mcveyrl]

What will stink is that the yards we give up here might give Devlin more passing yards than Thorpe...

[mcveyrl]

4 incompletions.

Ballgame.

JMU 20
UD 8

[Old Cage]

Mickey and friends - Thank you! Very helpful.

[Jackman]

Congrats on breaking into the CAA win column, Dukes. I'd honestly left you for dead.

The season isn't over Delaware, but they need to worry about beating Hofstra, nevermind Navy and Nova.

[SumItUp]

Great game for the Dukes today. Thorpe finally showed something. If he builds on this game the rest of the year, JMU will have some things to look forward to next year. This was the first time I was able to watch Delaware this year and obviously it was not their best effort.

[paward]

This game was typical CAA football. Any Given Saturday you can have your ashe handed to you on a silver platter.

[LacesOut]

4 incompletions.

Ballgame.

JMU 20
UD 8

Wowza!!

Congrats Dukes!!!!!!

Bad loss by UD.

[GoBlueHens83]

Just got back from the game. Congrats JMU! Has anyone seen the Delaware Blue Hens football team? They were not in Newark today.......I hope they are ok. xnonono2x

[93henfan]

But....but......Devlin is the second coming!

Classy. Here's hoping your team falls flat on its face in the playoffs. I kind of liked them too.

[NovaHater]

Classy.

Deserving for all the comments posted here about Devlin this, Devlin that.
"Best QB in the CAA" Best QB in FCS" "Devlin will be playing on Sundays"

The only #17 I saw that could be playing on Sundays was wearing purple.

[93henfan]

So that's the first Delaware game you've watched then this year. Understood.

[JMUNJ08]

xeekx

JMU showed up and Thorpe is showing some returns! Now I'm starting to get excited about next year and what he could do. Too bad Rock won't be there as his main target.

[GoBlueHens83]

Thorpe is going to be very dangerous in years to come, very dangerous!

[UncleSam]

For UD this was the UMass game in reverse.

[LacesOut]

Classy. Here's hoping your team falls flat on its face in the playoffs. I kind of liked them too.

What exactly was said that was unclassy?? It's just a little smack talk in the face of all the other talk about how awesome Devlin is.

Lighten up maybe? Or are ya still pissed 'cause ya wasted your Saturday watching the Hens? LOL

[JMUNJ08]

Thorpe is going to be very dangerous in years to come, very dangerous!

I know. I loved Dudzik coming into the season and couldn't understand why MM was playing Thorpe when he wasn't ready. News about the constant Dudzik injuries came out and flashes of his talent came out. Just wish he was more seasoned with the guys around him this year.

[NovaHater]

So that's the first Delaware game you've watched then this year. Understood.


Where in my statement does it say the FIRST game ?

I can understand after today, I'm sure you're half lit, trying to drink away your sorrows so your reading comprehension is about as good as your FB teams rushing yardage today 9 What 9

[BDKJMU]

Thorpe: 11 of 15 passing for 262, 1 TD, 1 INT
11 rushes for 42 yards, 1 TD, NO fumbles

Sr WR Rockheed McCarter (#8) 3 catches for 125 yds. He made up for being stripped from behind at the 5 after catching the bomb by catching another bomb on the next series and holding on, despite pass INT being called. Nice to see him have a big game as he is one of 2 Philly products on JMU's team. A guy who if it wasn't for his older brother playing at JMU and now a JMU cop probably would be on some I-A team now. He's a chiseled 6'3", 220, good hands and speed, hopefully will end up in someone's camp next yr.

Sr tightend Mike Caussin (#85) 3 catches for 71 yards. Was nice to see him get more than 1-2 catchable balls thrown his way as has been the case since the Liberty game. 6'5, 245, good hands, decent speed for a tightend, may not be a good enough blocker for the next level.

O-line played decent today.

[BDKJMU]

Defense. Wow. 8 sacks according to the stats. A # of other times Devlin had to scramble to avoid a sack. JMU d-line was just schooling the UD o-line.
-Moats, not surprising was the leading sacker- 2.5. Still will be leading the nation in TFL and in the top handful in sacks. Darn it Mickey, why'd you have to play Moats as a true freshman in 06'.xmadx
-rSr DT Sam Daniels (#58) had 2 sacks. He gotten overshadowed by Moats this yr, but was only one of 2 interior DLs to get All CAA honors last season (10 of 12, including all 8 on the 1st and 2nd team, were de ends). Daniels hadn't had a lot of sacks coming in, now has 10.5 TFLs on the season, including 4.5 sacks. Coming into the game in In tackles by a de lineman, Daniels was tied with Tracey and Parker from UR for 2nd in the CAA (course Moats was leading by a wide margin).

McGee did a good job covering Duncan- broke up a # of passes thrown his way. As I stated earlier in this thread, I expected McGee would be on Duncan much of the game.

2 punt returns only netted 10 yards, but he did have 73 on 2 kick returns.

Obviously I've been looking at the CAA football stats. Game stats:

[HenZoneNation]

If you think one game is indicative of how good a player is then...well I guess there isn't much to say other than you're right...he's terrible...your guy is the best...and when he's playing on Sunday...not holding a clipboard...if even that...it's because he got lucky...

The team, including Pat, played bad...thats' it. A game like this sucks because you can't have those let down games when you a blow a golden oppurtunity to get a win in the early part of the year and let it slip away. We win Richmond, this loss isn't so bad...unfortunetly we did and it is a killer...doesn't change the type of player Pat is.

[BDKJMU]

Game stats:
http://www.jmusports.com/fls/14400/stats/football/2009/delaware.htm

FWIW with under a minute left the intentional delay of game followed by the punter walking out of the back of the end zone for the intentional safety knocked JMU from over 400 yards offense to under 400....

[StrikeJMU]

nice win Dukes, 3-0 halftime scores need to stop however.

[BDKJMU]

On Henzone and the CAA prediction thread some UD posters had stated JMU had become their biggest rivalry. I called baloney on that.
Homecoming+ your biggest rivalry + a team that before yesterday was in the playoff hunt doesn't = a game that isn't close to a sellout (the stadium was maybe 80% full). (Granted JMU may have had only 500-700 fans there, but even IF JMU had been say 6-1 or 5-2, ranked in the top 10 and in the playoff and CAA title hunt JMU might have brought maybe 2k).

What do Sunday's have to do with anything right now - they are playing college football. And Thorpe played the better college game yesterday and won.

The attendance was 20,639, about 1,500 short of a sellout. There were barely any JMU fans there. If JMU wasn't having such a bad season and your fans had shown up you would have made it a sellout. The walkup was likely next to zero with the rain all morning and during the first quarter. Plus, a sizeable portion of our homecoming crowds never make it to their seats. Just the way it is. There are a group of four in front of me that come to every game. Yesterday two of them were there and one of the other two staggered up the steps in the middle of the first half, stood in the aisle for a second, yelled to his friends, waved, turned around and went back out to the tailgates.

[blur2005]

Well, looks like the CAA will only get 4 teams in after this week, with UD falling to JMU and Maine upending UMass.

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

Well, looks like the CAA will only get 4 teams in after this week, with UD falling to JMU and Maine upending UMass.

Yes - and it is good news for the 4!

[JMU Newbill]

I'm still not on the Thorpe bandwagon, although he did play better today. It's amazing what happens when you only turn the ball over once.


Hands down, our defense won this game. We took a pretty good offense and did not allow a TD on the road. As much as our defense has been on the field in the past 4 weeks, I think this is one hell of an accomplishment.

The defense played great, no question about it, but the defense also played well enough to win against UR and W&M. But when you can't score, you're not going to win. The offense was able to put together enough drives to give the defense some rest, which they just didn't get against W&M or Nova.

Agreed, our defense was dominating. Devlin did not have time to blink, plus our secondary shut down the receivers.

As far as Thorpe, he did show improvement for the first time this year. Congrats to him. But the half was the usual "3rd and eight Thorpe".

Overall a positive for us to build on with the exception of our kicking game excluding David Skahr.

[mcveyrl]

As far as Thorpe is concerned, I don't think he's going to perform like that all the time from here on out.

BUT, I'm very excited to see what he can do now that he's got some confidence. He made some really great decisions on the belly opton and on some more traditional option pitches. And of course his passing was pretty good as well.

I actually may not get plastered before the Maine game so I can see what he does!

[HenZoneNation]

MCVEYRL,

That's just crazy talk...not getting plastered before a football game is like not bringing whiskey to church...it just doesn't make sense.

JMU's D looked incredible. You guys have lost to some great teams this year. You have a young QB and that can hurt you even witha great D. Our defense last year, before they got so run down from over exposure, was much better than this year's squad and had they had an offense to help them at all, we might have had a pretty good year. It just goes to show you that in this league, if you don't have a solid QB who doesn't turn th ball over you can't win even with a very good defense. I think Thorpe will be cut from the same cloth as Landers and by the time he leaves you'll be speaking about him in the same light....just give him time.

[mcveyrl]

Our defense last year, before they got so run down from over exposure, was much better than this year's squad and had they had an offense to help them at all, we might have had a pretty good year. It just goes to show you that in this league, if you don't have a solid QB who doesn't turn th ball over you can't win even with a very good defense. I think Thorpe will be cut from the same cloth as Landers and by the time he leaves you'll be speaking about him in the same light....just give him time.

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking...

I'll try to do better next time.
