a/r, as much as i luv my aggies, admittedly we are no where near the caliber of bama. c'mon now, bama can expose weaknesses of any "bcs" team in america. i luv my aggies, but we can't do that... Ye have so little faith in your Aggies! The talent is there... I've Got A Feeling, I've Got A Feeling, Brother! gator my good brutha, i try to stay "grounded". i mean, let's face it. even bama's 3rd string ain't gone lose to morgan state or famu, much less on their home turf like we did. so i try to keep everything in perspective. when i build up my expectations to be "sky high", it creates a very long way to fall if those expectations are not met. so i try to keep my expectations in perspective. i've gotta keep it real. no way in hail would i compare aggie football to bama, i just won't unless proven otherwise. ecu proved me wrong last year. but ecu is a long ways from being bama...

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

Duke has weaknesses. I’m just hoping that we will be able to take advantage of them, too.

Duke has weaknesses. I’m just hoping that we will be able to take advantage of them, too.i hear ya, a/r. but lets face it, bama has far better talent than almost "any" bcs team in the country not named clemson. bama can exploit most of duke's weaknesses that we don't have the talent to exploit. but hey, i can appreciate the confidence you have in our aggies. but personally, i'm not prepared to go quite that far...

I just keep it simple play mistake free football period . What Bama does is play assignment mistake free football and they wear teams down then they capitalize on there mistakes . They don't care as much about a teams weaknesses because that's already a given but what isn't is the mistakes you make to reinforce your weak leads to mistakes that take the air out of a team . But that's Bama and Dukes not Bama .50/50 going in that's all you can ask for our chances are better now then it was a few years a go . Duke has Bama but A&T has a ranked ELON team that is what worries me more then Duke . I have a feeling that A&T will be going into that game ranked also at least in the Top 15 if not the top 10 .

I somewhat agree here, we looked sloppy or out manned against both JSU and ECU at times but we where and still are weaponized, If McCain is back and fully healthy I will feel better. I feel better about Ifedi after Spring Ball...bottom line is not to be out Coached, OC has got to be solid!

Vs ECU and JSU our Oline was man handled But we won . That's what good teams do . To be truthful our O lineman had a rough season in 2018 . There was only one lineman that showed up every game we must do better this season . Good O lineman play are what separates fair teams from good team and Good teams from Great teams and the FCS from the BCS on the offensive side of the ball depth-wise . I'm not focused on what Duke has are the game right now because I do not want to give Elon anything to past on there locker room walls ; making it seem like we are over looking them because Elon had a fine team last year and most of there starters will be returning this season according to my friend Fred Marshall that lives in Burlington . So we need to flip this thread and be focused on Elon first and foremost . I need to know what they have and what problems we may face against them not so much what we will face against Duke . I have a feeling that Elon will not be a cake walk .
