awful glad we've gotten to the CAA portion of our schedule...believe we will finally find out Saturday whether, or not, we are the CAA Championship and FCS Playoff contender we thought we were in preseason...
so far the offense and defense have been inconsistent enough to leave fans wondering about the season's high expectations...for Saturday's CAA opener there should be no questions about the venue, opposing team or stakes of the game...if the Spiders can't go into Rhodes Stadium and play their best on both sides of the ball a disappointing season could lay ahead!
I like Coach Huesman's decision to go with Coleman at QB...despite the red zone picks at DSU his ability to throw the ball downfield gave our offense a weapon that had been missing...with Nick DeGennaro also back the UR offense could put some of those points it missed last week on the board...
but I'm worried about the former Fighting Christians...they seem to always play well against Coach Huesman's teams...last season Huesman finally broke through to get his first non COVID season win...Coach Trisciani has a team that needs a win as badly as the Spiders...this will be the Phoenix's 3rd straight home game...they have lost their last two...watch out for QB Downing, WR Brayboy and RB Thomas to come up big for Elon... our defense will have to be at its best or it could be a long afternoon!
find a way to win Spiders!
