Game Thread: Elon

[Oldhen]

We really are a different offense with a running QB. The OL is better and the RB's are better.

And it would have helped keeping the D from being exposed. Really unimpressive

Any idea what happened to Yarns? Is Marker actually Hurt? Could have used is energy today.

Carib, I'm reminded of a certain cliché...

And almost as nauseating as watching the unforced fumble is listening to Bill Harmony explain it as I walked through the parking lot. Bill, you are allowed to say someone screwed up.

Bill knows his stuff, but my god he is the biggest homer ever. It’s almost laughable that he refuses to say anything negative about the Hens. At least Scott tries to be somewhat objective.

In the meantime, JMU playing great football on national tv almost every week.

He’s right. O’Connor missed at least a couple of open TD’s with better throws. Can’t miss them when your own secondary is getting torched and you loss the T0 3-0. Elon tried to give the Hens the game in the last 6 minutes but the Hens couldn’t close the deal.

That was dissapointing. I still have no idea how good this team is. Not gonna over react to much to this loss. Definitely need to tighten things up and run the dang ball more

Sucks that Delaware lost a very winnable game. I'm impressed with the team not giving up and almost pulling off the comeback. I'm a little disappointed in all of the fans that left the stadium early. I was soooooo ready to talk to the obnoxious Elon fans in Section K. Oh well, onto the Camels.

Very disappointing to lose the game like that. It would have been much easier to take if the ball was stripped from O’Connor or he lost it as a result of contact with a defender.

My car radio went fuzzy in the middle of his interview, did I miss the part where he said “we were out coached”?

HR, we have one

[Warrior Hen]

It took the Hens too long to realize that the deep ball was not there and adjust to the short and intermediate passes which worked in the later part of the game

Coaching and execution by the players determined the outcome of the game.

Over the years I've seen many woulda, coulda, shoulda, losses in sight of the goal line. I've seen losses where a RB fumbled on the 5 yard line. I've seen losses where the QB threw an int on the end zone, I've seen muffed winning FG's. I have never seen it come down to a fumbled snap. Isn't this a heck of a time to have first and second team QB's dinged?
