Why are we throwing fades to the sideline to short receivers 10+ times during the game, where they had 1 or no safety 7+ yards down the field in the middle? How do you come out of the half, with a QB Run/Dive, a 2 yard out pass all the way across the numbers, and then a fade to the outside? All half the prepare and they come out with that garbage? Why on 3/4th and 1, in OT are we throwing it.? Why are we throwing a post route to a 5'7" WR on 3rd and 3 with the game on the line? Why are we playing 15 yards off their WRs on the last drive, when they threw 1 ball deeper than 20 yards down the field all game? How do you allow 13 3rd/4th down conversions with 4 going for TD's? 3-8 31 yard TD 3-Goal 6 yard TD 3-8 13 yards 3-5 8 yards 3-7 10 yards 3-1 5 yards 3-10 TD 3-5 6 yards 3-3 11 yards 3-Goal TD 3-2 3 yards 4-10 15 yards 4-2 5 yards

He should take the blame, as he is a college coach. He seems to take the blame whenever they lose, that's great, such a stand up guy! FIX the problems, don't just give lip service.

Ok, I'll say it... I'll start by saying the marketing, social media, Internet, etc has been much better and they deserve credit for that. But come on, they have been promoting games at the TU shuttle stops since I was a freshman (and obviously before), this isn't anything new. Now we finally get some momentum, wins, beautiful weather, large crowd, and then do what we always do... fall flat on our faces. Sure some here are "happy with the effort," and "it was a great game, just wished for a better effort" Since 2013 we are 13-13 on the road in FCS games and only 17-13 at home. Even the 2011-2013 teams dropped big games at home, but dominated on the road. Why does it seem that we play better on the road than at home??

The poor decisions were the 3rd and 4th and 1 calls. Nova was going to score no matter what, as they kept running the same couple of plays extremely successfully against our lost defense. Even though we were the home team, I would have went for 2 to try and win it like previously stated.

Hopefully rob and his play book go to Gainesville Georgia instead

You must be new here. Same old same old. Don’t EVER criticize the coaching staff.

I saw this too. Good on them for trying to build up excitement for this one. Top 20 match-up, first home game ranked in the top 5 in 6 years, beautiful weather expected, more known opponent, T-shirt give away. Everyone should try their best to be there!

Nice story! Hopefully he can take advantage of the opportunity at the RB position. Got to love a guy who really wants to do anything he can (special teams) to help the team win.

https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/football/fcs/fcs-coaches-poll We move up 3 spots to 5th. Maine drops 7 spots to 16 and Delaware drops just 2 after also getting smoked at home..

Beating Florida would move the needle farther and faster than winning and FCS championship. As good as we may be this year, neither are going to happen.

Maine maybe overrated, losing some key players to injury and their head coach. But with that being said, they are still a Top 20 team and strangely enough may win the CAA due to their easier schedule.

I mean, it's like that everywhere for all sports teams (maybe not NDSU). Delaware fans are bitching about getting blown out at home, a late fake FG, Rocco and bad attendance. There is nothing wrong with having higher expectations and being upset when there is a bad loss or under achievement. There were a lot of positives in the game, and hopefully the momentum carries over to Saturday. But a debate/questioning on whether a valuable and electric but an injury prone player should be back returning all of the kicks is worth the conversation. The injuries will definitely hurt, but if we can get through Saturday, we have a L at Florida then a bye and some of the "easier" games back to back before JMU, it should be ok. I agree with the changes and positives on the defensive side of the ball. The interceptions and passes defended have been a great change to what we have seen in the past 5+ years.

Georgia Tech isn't Alabama or even say Indiana, but they are better than the dreadful UCONN team we beat in our championship trip year. Any win against an FBS team is good for the program and FCS as a group. Will it mean we get a bump? Probably not because as Chris stated above, we aren't loved like, UNH, or JMU or Delaware or NDSU.

Agreed. A road win, against a ranked team, is always good. The fact that it was quite a distance and a beat down made it more impressive. Heard reports, that we bused up there. Any truth to that?? There are only 30 or so posters here that are on consistently so that is the reason for lack of buzz, along with the history of no one in the community/campus caring. We have 18,000+ undergrads and 6,000 of them live on campus with thousands more in off campus apartments around campus. We are going to be playing a top 15 opponent, with a brand name (some students may be tricked into thinking of Nova in basketball terms/stature) Its going to be sunny and in the low 70's on Saturday, and all of the other football teams are either off or away, there is no reason that there shouldn't be 10,000 people there!

Didn’t get to watch the game. Was it on a punt or kick off? Seems like this game was tough one physically. I agree with both of you guys. He is dynamic and should be back there but he’s also smaller and been fragile throughout his career. Its difficult to have him back just when you need him, close games/down. Also I feel like him being back there maybe put some fear into other teams and may try to angle/pooch kicks that would help us

College games have gotten really really long. Sept is tough because it’s warm for early games but the 6 time isn’t good for students. I know that most of them won’t stay regardless. But the giveaways help and can get better. Besides shirts They should do a dollar Hot dog/soda game/half/quarter for the 3rd or 4th q even For the entire stadium that would be good. should also do what the orioles do “kids under 12 are free with a paying adult”

Worded oddly. But see how the way you read it, is correct.

Who writes, but more importantly edits these game notes and the website?!.. We went 2-1 against top 10 teams last year.. Nova, Elon, JMU

This one is going to be tough. Maine's offense has been good so far and the passing game has had lots of big plays. Their defense last week, against an injured, TO GA Southern team, gave up a few big ones on the ground of their own. GA Southern did fumble 7 times, but only lost 1 of them. Maine really shot themselves in the foot by fumbling on the 5 yard line and missing a short FG in that game. Their kicker is 1-3 on FG's this year missing from 37 and 40.

Maine opens as 4.5 point Favorites

The offense needs to be on their A game Saturday. Maines defense even without Stevens is good. Must win for us if we want to win the CAA, as they do not play JMU, Delaware or SBU this year. However they have another low level FBS game with Liberty left

Great student turnout and overall attendance. Student sections were completely full. They were quiet but it is what it is at this point. Nc central had a decent amount of fans for being a new small program 5+ hours away. anyone have any feedback on the pregame things? got to the gate 15 minutes before kickoff and the security line was very slow. Need more people with wands or metal detectors. Having highlights on the video board in the second half was a nice touch. Student side also has a chick fil a (sort of) on it also. Liked the bar stools and high tables on the home side near the auxiliary restrooms. Athletics, double the amount up there! Nice view Definitely a lot to work on before Maine and Nova. Snaps were bad but there was a backup center playing? Just didn’t look crispy on offense. Was very impressed with special teams (didn’t see O’Neil’s fg miss but it was a long one). Punting was good as was the lack of penalties. Aggressive secondary is something new for us! Is Kobe young hurt? Or just hurried way down on the depth chart?

Offense looked stagnant and not in synch. Tom looked alittle off and some bad snaps that need to be cleaned up before next weeks game in BF Canada. It was nc central but tonight may have been the most passes defended by a Towson team that I have ever seen. Probably 5-6 atleast. Helps when you aren’t playing 15 yards off the wrs

Does anyone know who is responsible for it? If you are in the athletic department reading this, please update! It is so old and bad, that it's almost laughable. They still have "2018 Football Promotions" and 2018 GameDay Central Page (which wasn't updated since the first home game of last year). Parking maps from 2016?! No facilities link, coming on the heels of a major renovation to the soccer/practice fields.?? "Fan Experience Packages for the 2017-2018 school year" A Doc's Army registration link.. I'm not sure if it exists anymore.. It may, but was in place when I was in school a decade ago.. Come on, its 2019! It really should be better done, and updated/cleaned up.
