What are you guys thought for this weekend? I think it will be a good defensive battle, much like the game in '00. Both teams will probably struggle to get things going....especially us early on. A true freshman QB in Aggie stadium will pose some problems on our side.
My prediction:
Elon 13 Aggies 10

I agree with your assement on a low scoring game and turnover playing a big part. My prediction will come later

I really expect A&t to come in and beat the brakes off Elon. This is our home opener and I'm sure the defense is ready to do something to make up for last weekend's embarrassment.
If Elon still had Crews at QB I might be a little worried. With the coach's son back there I think Blue Death is gonna have a field day.
A&T 35, Elon 7.

Elon's still a year or two away. I think y'all have good athletes in spots, but the overall hasn't gotten back to the good ole days when Seagraves was running up and down the field and defensively just killing everybody.

Funny thing about Seagraves.....the reason we were good when Seagraves took over is because he was basically living off the good recruits from coach Hart (coach of EKU). After most of those players left things went down hill. I like Hamilton and he's weeded out the bad eggs on the team. I can't imagine what our defense would have been like this year if Mike Cullen, Mark Warren and Lamar Beam all stayed at Elon at LB. I think we would have had the best defense in the SoCon.
The QB position is what scares me. The starting QB, Kye Hamilton, is only weighs about 170 and is a true freshman. I think the backup, Wes Pope from Ragsdale, is a better choice to start. HE seems a little more mobile and is a heck of a lot bigger at around 225 lbs.
Anyway, I wasn't able to make it down from Richmond for last year's game, so it's been a year since I've seen your band....I sure as hell can't wait for that!!!
Anyway, hope to see a a good game!

The Elon board url is easier, jsut use: www.elonfans.comAnyhow. I think both offenses are going to struggle. I'd be willing to bet you guys take a quick 10-0 lead and then the defenses will start killing both offenses much like in the 2000 game. My thought is 21-17 Elon. We do have a very capable backup QB if the coahes son starts off poorly. Losing to Wake like you did wasn't an embarassment. An Embarassment is what Georgia Southern did to Johnson C Smith (84-0) or Western Illinois did to Cheyney (98-0). You guys were beaten soundly, but considering the circumstances I think you saved face. I think it's going to make for a very entertaining game.

No, Wake just showed us some mercy. That game could have easily been 120-0 is Grobe wanted to prove a point.
Our defense just couldn't tackle that night.

Yeah, but even a team at Wake's level should have 2nd and 3rd teams that could easily be first team at I-AA schools. You guys stood your ground against those teams....

A&T 21 Elon 14
a) Because of the ramifications of having to show face in the classroom after losing the home opener when there's only 4 home games this season.
b) Ofensive confusion has been minimized. They've been forced to stick with one QB long enough to get a feel for ONE person's style. I hate that it took injuries to get us to that point.
