RundaPower 153 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Gotta be way better than we played Saturday night. Can’t leave yards and points on the field as we did last year. Simpson is going to need to get more carries and Tom has to take off when the open space is in front of him. I want to see our DL get up the field and create havoc in the Black Bear backfield.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blounge 520 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 Big top ten heavyweight bout this Saturday in Maine. They should move this game up to ESPN2. Biggest game of the year(so far) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,231 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 Last year, we struggled offensively and still put up 28 points in the 7 point home loss. The defense allowed 408 yards and 6.7 yards per play. We had 142 rushing yards but just 3.6 ypc. Simpson has 45 yards rushing on 13 carries and 7 catches for 69 yards and two TDs. Flacco had 101 rushing yards on 19 carries and 225 yards passing with three TDS. The problem? He had two picks. They also shut down Jabari Allen, who had just one catch for 14 yards and did not have any plays over 24 yards in the running or passing game. Improved defensive line and receiving corps should help. Flacco has to limit mistakes. Need to be 0 or better in turnover ratio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TuTigers2012 1,061 Report post Posted September 11, 2019 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.
