As the first in a closing series of league games and it is played at home in front of a homecoming crowd...this will not be a trap game. 30-14 leopards. |

I agree that this is not a "trap" game but I think it is a very dangerous game. We know what Colgate does, we know what Holy Cross does, what Bucknell tries to do, what Lehigh, well they have their own problems. But Fordham has been all over the place. Sometimes very bad and sometimes pretty good. And while they haven't beaten a good team, they are certainly capable of it if Skelton gets hot.
The big question in my mind is what will our offensive strategy be? Will we continue to mix it up, throw down the field, look for the quick strike and risk giving Fordham and Skelton more possessions? Or, will we return to our ball control, grind it out style, throw only when necessary and attempt to limit FU possessions? |

Unless its pouring rain - net/net probably a good thing for us - if we don't let Mickey continue to run a balanced and unpredictable offense we have learned nothing and deserve what we get. IMHO I dont see us going that way.
I have had my heart broken at more than enough homecomings to see that as quasi meaningless motivation to players. MAYBE (and I would not bet on this) we alums can raise the volume in Fisher a bit....but I would not hold out hope on that, we have rarely been that kind of a crowd.
That said, if there is anything to drown out the !@#$@#ing 3rd down gong I'd be all for it.... |

I haven't been to a home game this season...there's a third down gong now?? That's somehow more palatable than the ridiculous leopard roar?
The only shot in hell Fordham has is to draw us into a shoot out. They have the best gunslinger in the league (arguably). The best defense against that is to keep them the hell off of the field...something that we have been very good at this year. For that reason I would expect to see a 60/40 attack with the emphasis on the run. Eat up the clock. Keep their already suspect Defense on the field and tire them out. Let's face it...Curley has been all we coud have hoped for and more...but he's not Skelton. We need to concede that their QB is better but our TEAM on the whole is much better. The good news is we certainly have a potent enough air attack to force them to respect it or pay the price.
I also think our defense needs to disrupt their passing game as much as possible. I don't think we're going to rattle Skelton therefore I think we need to concentrate on the Receivers. No clean releases. We need to mug these guys in the first five yards of their route. Screw up the timing and just maybe that will allow Dell, Poulson et. al. to work their violent magic.
All in all...I like the match up!

As fun as this attack has been, lately there've been too many attempts to Layton in double coverage. Skelton will be the best QB we've faced and we cant turn it over. We're into league play now and FU hasnt seen our #1 RB in three years. Let's see if they can stop him. Mo' Mo!!! And I'm feeling some big plays from Rudy. |

There better be 10,000 at this game. Or will the be going on the Arts Center tour? Oh yeah, great way to attract alumni support... I just hope my parking spot is still available.
The gong has to go... Too many bad memories with that gong from years past. |
