Football to face Duquesne in first round of FCS playoffs

Recommended Posts

I guess the Stony Brook loss to Albany meant very little to our cause yesterday with six CAA teams getting in. Amazing that we can't get a TV deal for the league. Unreal.

So they did play two FBS teams, Hawaii (42-21 loss) which was a pretty good team before their QB got hurt and UMass (kind of the same thing). But UMass pounded them in the opening game, 63-14. Seems like they are a bit like us. Strong offense and shaky defense. They have a big back at 225 and another big WR at 6-5 though their top guy is 5-11. O-line is not small but on D, looks like they run a 3-4. Decent size up front, smallish LBs must be quick.

They played a lot of weak teams. Beat up on a 2-9 DII team 45-0. Also defeated a 4-7 FCS team, as well as defeating two 2-9 FCS teams. By record, the best FCS team they played was Sacred Heart, who was 7-4. Duquesne beat them by 4 points. As you pointed out, they lost their 2 FBS games by a combined score of 105-36. 

In their 8 FCS games (against somewhat dubious competition) they averaged 32.8ppg, while giving up 24.6ppg. 

They shouldn’t be taken lightly, as they do have a 225 RB who ran for 1,300 yards, but, having said that, we should beat them.

Will The extensions of Rob and Jared be announced this week?

Funny but Rob is getting at least one due to a clause in his contract. He deserves at least two but I think they'll wait and see how we do in the playoffs.
