Like everyone else, I feared a third loss. Morgan didn't look like the same team I saw beat Richmond two weeks ago; presumably our scheme/execution had something to do with that. The QB coach needs to work with Kent on looking to his secondary receivers -- too many times he forced a pass to someone tightly covered but missed the back out in the flat with no one near him. I suspect Pete will be focused on special teams this week, given the two blocked FGs and his emphasis on special teams as "special forces." Despite these reservations, glad to get the W. Congrats to the new staff (and players, of course).

Do we know what Mason Woods' status is for this week/season?

I watched the 4th quarter, and Morgan's defense was ferocious. Maybe Richmond is bad this year, but Morgan definitely looks much better than in the past. Big hitters on D, and some speed demons on O. I had penciled in our game with them as a win, but we'll need a much better performance than usual to pull that off.

Has he been practicing? Will he play anytime soon?

The Sun article on RA was encouraging to read. Glad to see that he and Steve E. had a relatively amicable parting, and that Rob understands the need to give his successor space but also wants to be supportive.

Not much evidence of excitement for the season on this board. Maybe that's because fewer people pay attention to TowsonFans.com in the summer, but I hope that changes. I think there's a lot to be jazzed about, even if the new staff was behind the 8-ball on recruiting this year. I think we'll see an improved brand of play, even if the end result is a 5-6 or 6-5 season. And maybe -- just maybe -- the 2023 team will outperform expectations.

Overall, an encouraging performance, but utterly dumb-ass TOs will sink us in the CAAT.

I didn't realize the start time had been moved up from 3 to 2, so I saw just one possession before that weather shut things down. But Nathan Kent looked impressive, got the ball out quick and accurately, moved well to avoid pressure. Maybe he was playing against backups, but I though Kent (and the receivers) were operating smoothly.

Or do I have that wrong? (I stepped away for a while).

First time all game.

Well, whaddya know. We wrote a new ending.

We're up 1, 57 seconds to go, Hofstra ball. I have a sinking feeling how things are going to go, just given how many times we've seen this movie

We struggle even against weak teams. Hampton may be our only sure win left on the schedule.

I've been watching about five minutes of the Hofstra game -- during which time we've thrown it away FOUR times. Pathetic.

Right. It shouldn't even be close.
