Week 8 Live Thread

If they can manage a win vs Shippensburg Saturday, it will only be the second time ESU has defeated West Chester, Bloomsburg and Shippensburg in the same season in the history of ESU football. They first accomplished the feat in 1927...

As someone else has pointed out earlier, the bar is set pretty low this season. I certainly can't remember the last time West Chester, Bloom, and Ship were so poor in the same year. And Millersville, after a decent start, seems to be slipping.

Winning SR1 has to occur before getting to the chip. Start there and consistently win then we can talk about NC.

The expectation when given the reigns was he would improve on what Curt did. He is just a replica of Tepper.

Correct.

I don't believe their run defense has given up a 100 yards in a game all season. Is that right? Their starting qb looked like he hurt his shoulder; that could be a difference maker against some better teams.

They gave up 126 against Pace in the season opener. Since then: 52 vs IUP, 35 vs Seton Hill, 57 vs Lock Haven, 116 at Kutztown, 72 vs Millersville, 56 against West Chester and 53 today against Bloom.

Tobias came in to relieve McTaggart. In the opener against Pace, Tobias was 22-27 for 230 yards and 4 TDs. He ended the game on a nifty bootleg to run out the clock against Bloomsburg. I'm confident in their QB room.

Yes, I thought Millersville was arriving earlier than they are. They still have a ways to go.
