RF, no problem. I understand. I just havent seen a dominant effort in th first half versus Maine (2x) or Colgate. Colgate had some success running the ball on us as well.
I am really worried about the defense and I have no idea what Marrone was talking about with regard to cramping and conditioning, the defensive secondary looked exhausted in the Wake game Thomas has a smashed jaw but was limping stretching, etc. He was one huge cramp. I didnt see exceptional conditioning...

I expect to be down in the first half, down early and then come back in the second half. I dont think we can dominate anyone in the trenches if we can this would be the team to do it against, my point is don't get cute, run the ball, keep the clock moving and win going away, but I am always leary of these 1AA teams because we play like such  for one half. I am not saying that it is indicative of the entire year, it just seems the way things go.

Lets see a vanilla game plan on offense, run the ball 75% of the time and no stupid plays on defense. The Wake game was easily one of the worst defense I have seen form a Shafer coached team, the lack of size up front and menatl mistakes has me concerned, if you make mental mistakes doesn't matter who your opponent is.

Do you remember the Maine game last year, I think if the kid catches that pass which would have no doubt been a TD, we possibly lose that game, it was a huge swing. HUGE. Giufre ( OC at Maine) had our number much of the time
