Another dropped open pass by WSSU spells the end of the game. Final WSSU 13 - NCCU 20
The difference in FCS v. D2 came into play late in the 3rd when the NCCU o line was able to start taking over. Some conservative play calling also didn't help WSSU, we started playing not to lose instead of playing to win.
Positives - our kicker is good, the front 7 tackled a lot better, and Lewis is getting better at QB.
Negatives - our DBs had too many bad tackling spots where they tried slinging guys instead of wrapping up and finishing tackles. Too many crucial dropped passes (dropped TD, dropped important 3rd down, dropped final 4th down). Special team mistakes including running into the kicker and a few other times that could have been called, also catching a ball that was going out on kickoff and then running out at the 5 instead of taking the penalty.
I had low expectations going into this game, and it turned into something we could have won. We should blow ECSU out next week and the way our D was playing we can actually beat Chowan.
