Wow I wonder how many coaches will go up to Norfolk and scout this weekend. Were lucky to see our next 2 opponents on one field.

Good to see the guys get a confidence boost. I’d love to see more shut outs this season. We’re talented everywhere, great to see BIG MAC back out there eating again lol Ifedi and Martin can be dangerous next season.

We held them to 100 total yards and they never crossed midfield. Outstanding job by the defense.

gotta remember del state had a "short week" and a "long bus ride" on top of that. whereas we're coming off of a "bye week", we're well rested, and we played at home.
not making any excuses for dsu, but clearly we had major advantages in this game...

Sent from my SM-G950U using proboards Hey we could have played them anytime before, during or after the season and the results would be about the same. They're not a good team yet and we are. They were our sparring partners last night helping us prepare for upcoming slugfests with SC State and FAMU.

oleschool's on point. How many dropped passes did those guys have? They were out of it before halftime and looked physically drained.

They were our sparring partners last night helping us prepare for upcoming slugfests with SC State and FAMU. i agree. but c'mon, they didn't even cross the 50 yard line? yeah, i agree that dsu is not a good team yet but not being able to cross midfield to me is a sign of a fatigued team. i mean, we played our 2nd and 3rd string in the 2nd half and they still didn't cross midfield. trust me, having a "short week" means less days of rest for dsu plus a 7 hour bus ride makes a big, big difference. i ran track at a&t when i was an undergrad and i know how it feels to be on a bus for 7 hours or more and then being expected to "perform" at your best. sleep on a bus ain't the same as sleep in a bed. not saying dsu would've beaten us or played a close game had they had as much rest as we had, but certainly i'm confident that they would've been able to cross the 50 yard line at least once...

Outstanding job by the defense. lol, heck we held the buzzards to "less" total yards than we allowed dsu last night. lol, central only gained a whopping "41" total offensive yards against us last year in durham. so our very impressive defensive stats do not shock me anymore...

So what you're telling me is that in our last 2 MEAC contests we have given up a whopping 140 yrs of total offense. Hmmmm NSU, you're on the clock.

Anyone ever ask why we don't use Aggie Gold on the field instead of a metallic gold. I think it would pop more on tv. For the same reason our gold shirts pop?

It wasn’t bad, but turf would look much better on TV. well, maybe the adjective "great" was a bit too strong. but i do think its reasonable to say that the grass looked "acceptable". yeah, it could've looked better and i totally agree that field turf looks waaaaaaay better. but compared to opening day this season and other times i've seen our grass, to me it looked much better on tv last night...

You’re right. Acceptable is a good word. I still don’t understand why it’s not “great”, but I promised myself I wouldn’t hijack the thread. On to Norfolk!
