Has anyone purchased your tickets yet? Where are yall sitting? In addition I saw that Duke is playing Alabama in Durham the week before us.....do you think that will help us (team will be injured) or hurt us (team will be pissed off from being blown out)??

They will definitely be pissed...but they still may not be able to avoid that beating from us in Durham.
But I'm just worried about taking care of Elon first.

Neither... they will be Duke. They will see us as an easy safe win no matter what happens with Alabama. We need to be ready both physically and tactically. Our game plan needs to be so different that it takes them one or two quarters to figure out what we are doing. If we're too predictable they will have their third string in before the BGMM takes the field for halftime.

There is no way Duke hasn't taken notice of what we've been doing lately, whether they wanna admit it or not. So...they can act like they aren't concerned if they want. We all saw what happened to the last team that did that. |

From the day the contract paperwork was completed Duke's Coaches made it clear to there team that they can not take A&T lightly or as a cupcake game. Dukey's are arrogant but they are not stupid. |

I watched the Duke.NCCU game last year. Central looked like they belonged for a quarter and a half. All of a sudden Duke became a much faster team at every position and were able pass at will with their 2nd string QB.
The keys: depth, speed, and pass defense.

Depth, rotation of lineman, and and few if any 3 and outs are keys to this game

The keys: depth, speed, and pass defense. maxell, dude i think you "nailed" it! no doubt those are the keys to the game, particularly duke's depth. i think our starters will be able to hold their own, but when duke brings in their backups, there won't be a significant drop off and that's where we will be at a major disadvantage. we will need to keep our starters in the game longer than duke keeps their starters in the game and duke's backups will wear our starters down. i think that's why nccu looked as if they belonged for a quarter and a half. i think our starters will eventually get tired and then we'll have to rely on our backups and that's when we will become very vunerable. duke is a far better team than ecu was last year. we will not be able to sneak up on them because duke's scouting report on us will expose our success over the last 3 years including 3 upset wins over fbs programs. i was "wrong" last year when i predicted that we'd lose to ecu and i've never been happier being wrong before in my life! hopefully i'll be wrong again this year cuz my prediction is that we'll lose to duke. i just hope as a minimum that we represent ourselves well and don't get blown out... |

Duke playing Alabama before they face A&T, I think it will have an impact! They'll come in hyped to defeat us, we just need to take shots downfield and use our weapons on the outside.

...and try to take advantage some of their weaknesses that Alabama exposed.

Depth, rotation of lineman, and and few if any 3 and outs are keys to this game Depth quality has always been the factors anytime an FCS faces a BCS opponent. But we have Elon on deck first and my focused on them from what I've seen in my research they have most of a very fine team coming back on both sides of the Football . Let's let Duke go for now an talk about what we will face with Elon . |
