CAA Football – With a fifth loss, New Hampshire’s bid for a 15th straight playoff appearance is all but over.

 

They obviously don’t know the Committee’s history. 🤣

Elon’s starting QB might be out for the season. They might have handled UD had he played the whole game. Their starting RB is battling injuries too. Eight wins and we are in.

I just listened to the coaches' call-in show, and Elon's Cignetti said QB cheek's injury was non-contact and that he's having an MRI today. The backup, he said, was neck-and-neck with Cheek when they were freshman and the coach expects him to meet the challenge. We'll see. As for their top runner, Malcolm Summers, he pulled a hamstring against JMU. If they hold him out for that to fully heal, he'll be back in time for the game against us.
