hard to believe that after my high hopes for a Championship/Playoff contending season all we have to play for Saturday is a chance for a winning season and .500 record versus former coach Danny Rocco...at least the flickering Blue Hen's chances rest on the outcome of this game too...
on paper it sure seems like this one will be a defensive slugfest...the Hens have a still developing QB as a result of injury...the Spiders offense has been trending upward since the return of Joe Mancuso but still put only two TDs on the board versus Towson...the defenses of both squads have been stout most of the season...UR has added QB pressure to its run stopping forte in the last two wins with 13 sacks...
Senior Day will also be celebrated Saturday ...I'm not sure how many of the 32 6th, 5th and 4th year players on the roster will be making their final appearance in a Spiders uniform, but they'll be the first group in quite some time never to have experienced the FCS Playoffs in their stay at UR...sad....here's to them for hanging in there through several tough years and COVID-19 to boot...winning Saturday in their final appearance at The Brick House would be a good send off towards the Indians in W-burg...
enjoy the Prologue...
Go Spiders!
