St.Francis

[Ironman42 4]

ST Francis will be a good test for Towson was looking at there statistics from the Wagner game they look pretty good of course I don't know how good of a team Wagner is . But nevertheless it will be a more balanced opponent the Maryland was before for Towson get into conference play.i think we should see a better Towson team this weekend.

Wagner was 6-5 last year, though 1 win was over a D2 team, and another was over an NAIA team. However, they did beat St. Francis last year, & lost to them pretty badly yesterday.

As I mentioned in another thread, St. Francis' QB is a U of Houston transfer. One thing we have going for us is their star DB from last year, Lorenzo Jerome, is gone (he's the guy who not only returned a fumble like 90 yds for a TD against us last year, but he also delivered the vicious hit on Mahalak which effectively ruined his season, and perhaps by extension TU's season). I believe he is now playing with the 49ers.

Yeah I think it is going to be a battle but Towson really needs to pull this one out.would like to see 2-1 going into conference play.

An now We get to measure outrselves against an underfunded NEC team.  Less than 35 scholarships and a 1500 seat stadium on the ROAD. I just got a text from   A Red Flash FB alum. After watching us on film, they expect to win.

One thing dangerous about teams like them is that they tend to have a us against the world attitude which makes them very competitive.

Runda, I think you're missing the point, with all due respect. As I see it, it's not a question of measuring in the big picture where we are as a CAA program with a bigger stadium and more scholarships than poor little underfunded St. Francis (paranthethically, if I had to pick today, I would pick St. Francis to win). It's more a question of using St. Francis, a pretty good FCS team (who I believe has been to the playoffs more recently than us) to get a more accurate measurement of where we are as a team this year. In other words, Morgan State is not a good measuring stick of our D, because their offense stinks. On the other hand, U MD is not a good measuring stick of our D either, for they are as dynamic, at least after 2 games, as Morgan is pitiful. So, enter St. Francis, which is clearly better than Morgan, but clearly not as good as U MD. Hence, they should provide us a better gauge of where we stand in general. Just like our fictitious friend Goldilocks found one bed too hard, and another too soft (I think she had a similar conundrum with porridge) Morgan State & U MD are simply too much at opposite ends of the spectrum to make any rational assessment as it pertains to our squad. Sooo, St. Francis is "just right."
