KJ took a step forward today. He's the future. Keep in mind KJ look good at Norfolk State so if you want to measure him when we play below average teams go right on the head but in this league we play more above average team. Like I'm very curious how he would play when we play Rhode Island

Like I'm very curious how he would play when we play Rhode Island HU isn’t below avg, they beat Richmond who is 5-1 in conference play. What are you basing HU being below avg off of?

I’m not comparing them to just the CAA, I am looking at all of FCS. After next week they will be 3-3 in conference

Either way, KJ showed growth this week.
We scored more points on HU than Richmond did.

Is Morgan State above average? They also beat Richmond and Norfolk State this season. Please stop using the common opponent theory to evaluate football teams. It almost never ends up being apples to apples. Styles make fights.

I agree, however HU is 4-4 on the season. I would say they are an avg team not below avg.

Also, if you are going to automatically give Hampton the win based on Maine's record, why not give them 2 losses based on W&M and Elon CAA records giving Hampton a season CAA record of 3-5. Why not say we were definitely going to lose against Hampton and that we have no chance of winning our last 3 games based on record? Standings are only good at the point they are taken. We play the game on the field which is why there is still a probability that A&T may win 1 to 2 conference games against teams with a better record.

You do it all the time 😆 . The games (For Me) that count are Head to Head meetings..i.e When and who A&T is playing them it's that SIMPLE. A lot of you try so hard to be right that you contradict yourself from some of your previous statements 😆 🤣 😂 but everybody has their own approach SMIB RESPECT 🙏

Yes, you must still play the game. I am not "giving" a team a win based on its record if I am coaching a game. Knowing that this is a rivalry game, a home game, or a homecoming game are all factors of the game when predicting wins. To me, Hampton is a below average team that rose to occasion to beat a state of Virginia rivalry. These games are unpredictable. You know this. That game against Richmond mattered more to Hampton than it did to A&T. A team's record is a stat and stats matters when predicting wins, determining which team is better, and preparation. When determining conference/league champion in any sport we look at team record 1st and then head to head as a tiebreaker or point differential. This is standard practice used by many throughout the world. You should not ignore either stat (team record or head-to-head). I am ok if Aggie2039 wanted to use FCS or overall record. That is what "he used" as metrics to justify that Hampton is not below average. I chose a different metric.

I'm not asking you to do one or the other 😆 All I'm saying having played and coached this game in my 69 years . I have learned that metrics, polls and rankings don't mean a hill of beans but what your teams do on the field where the rubber hits the road dose . That's why I pay no attention to polls and rankings and the only metrics I reference or the run vs pass ratio in preparation for the defense and the different coverages and blitzing schemes for the offense, other than that I don't care who we play I just make sure we're prepared. Polls ,Rankings and Metrics and personal change weekend and out. That's my point .
