Of the 14 points scored against Villanova, 7 came on a kick return for a touchdown.

Defensively they blitz a lot out of cover 2 ... some RPO on offense ... their QB reminds me a bit of Joe Walker

They play with energy and hit hard ... defensively they remind me a bit of Hampton last year.

I don't feel threatened watching this game... Aggies passing game struggles.
Watched some here and there last night and see what you see JD. Cook the kick returner is pretty good. Offensively, at least passing wise, they stink. Feel like I’m watching the 15-16 Hens.

Man I’d love if they brought their band.

Some scores and rambling

NC A&T only win was over Norfolk St
Norfolk St beat Towson and Hampton
Towson beat New Hampshire

NC A&T has lost to
NC Central 30-16 who is climbing the National polls, if somehow they don’t win the MEAC, NCC could actually get an at-large bid to the playoffs…. Might Delaware see them later?

Lost to Elon 27-3 … same Elon team that ranked NC Central beat last Saturday at Elon

Nova

NC A&T is the best cream puff in the cupcake portion of our schedule and we better not take lightly

Delaware, heading into the half only up on Saint Francis 14-7, until an incredible 48 yard TD reception by Wimberly saved us, struggled mightily early

Delaware was up only 22-17 at halftime vs Duquesne and it wasn’t until the 9 minute mark in 3qtr when the talented Mr Harvin turned on the jets and gave everyone a sigh of relief …

These WRs with speed and talent are really fun to watch and are helping us win!

I am sure that Coach Carty has a lot of long passes scheduled but we can rush for 300 yards on this team. At any rate we should have a 500 yard total offense day. We should win the battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Load up the box and dare them to pass. There is no reason for another slow start.

Completely agree with this. Would love to see us establish the Run early and pass off of that but need to keep our running attack sharp for some of the teams coming up.

NCA&T has some of the worst looking statistics in the CAA:

Last in scoring 13.4 ppg

Last in Total Offense 211 ypg

Last in Rushing Yards Allowed 224 pg

Last in Passing yards gained 58 pg

Actually, it goes on and on. That said, I'm watching their game with Villanova, and A&T is ahead 14-13 early in 2nd Qtr, so what do I know? :D

Let's roll and get ready for a road trip next week.

Brose looks great, tough, good hands and always makes the catch. A tremendous asset and he’s due for a TD reception this Saturday.

Yarns is an outstanding receiver as well, love it when they line him up as one. Cumby can catch the ball too.

A DC looks at Delaware and says … holy Shitz we have a problem here

DRatings has Hens favored by 17.

Brose has had a very good season and flown under the radar. He's been getting open and had some nice YAC yards so far. Hope he remains part of the Offense

Could be gamesmanship but Carty on his teleconference says that NC A&T seems to bend but not break and doesn’t allow the deep play. Will be interesting to see if we come out like the Stony game with some short, quick passes.

Combined record of teams the Hens have beaten: 5-15 (four FCS wins, two of which are Stonehill).

Would be 6-20 with a rough-and-tumble victory over the Aggies this Saturday.

Yeesh!! What a putrid schedule Delaware is playing this season.

Hey Delaware, take your wins with a grain of salt. And your "best ever WRs", and your top notch FCS skill position players. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
