Fairly certain they still do. Same coach. It works. Win or lose they play the option very well. Surprised more teams don't do it.

All year to prep for triple.

[ONCEATIGER25]

The triple wasn't the problem. ECU defense was put in bad situations. And still only gave up 4 Touchdowns. 3 of those possessions Harding started on the ECU side of the field. The offense just played bad. ECU defense is going to be a force this year. Their offense on the other hand better figure it out.

ATU to get back on track. Lolol. I mean the fact that ATU might be the worst or second worst team in the conference is nuts. Still lots of games to be played, but they looked lifeless in season opener.

I was actually impressed ECU kept it as close as they did.

[OBUGrad]

Just no show by the Offense. They had many opportunities to make it a game even after fumbling the opening Kickoff. Defense played solid, offense had no answer for the stout HU defense. Too high of expectations following the great spring season. Good thing ECU has ATU and SNU to get back on track.

I thought they did too. HU put the ball on the ground a few times for them but I thought ecu played fairly well on that side of the ball.

Thats why I said in my original response that even if our offense could put a drive together after a take away, then maybe our defense could rest more and maybe the game looks different. Hard to keep at it when you already played like 10 plays, get a take away, then your offense turns it over the next play.

Yeah... Not my 1st time to experience playing, watching, or coaching against Harding or the flexbone for that matter. To your point on practice/game speed, it's impossible to give a proper scout look of Harding when they are that good at that offense. That's an interesting point that you bring up, but it doesn't really mean anything here. I think our defense played decently despite the non-existent offense because of Harding's defense.
