I'm really looking forward to seeing the Spiders Saturday at The Brick House...Coach Huesman said several times since the loss to UVA that it's sometimes hard to draw conclusions from an FCS v. BCS game...I wasn't surprised Virginia won the game, but was surprised we weren't more competitive, particularly early in the game when it was decided...
Huesman says he expects the Terriers will be a big test for the Spiders...I agree with some who believe Wofford may be better than their predicted 8th place finish in the nine team SOCON...it may be a competitive game and should be one that fans can draw FCS conclusions from...
like Coach Huesman, I'm hoping we tackle better if the Terriers are able to get in space...that we use our talented and experienced skill position players to generate a more explosive offensive game...
the Spiders are favored by about 2 TDs in this one...if we play up to preseason expectations we should be favored similarly in many of our games...Wofford should be a good test which challenges our ability to play with energy, excitement, and emotion, intangibles that Huesman was disappointed in at Virginia...
solid execution and a convincing win over the Terriers would erase some of the memories of last season's early stumbles and allow fans to conclude that this team can play up to its strong preseason expectations...when I walk out of The Brick House Saturday evening I want to be energized and excited about the season ahead!
enjoy the Prologue!
Go Spiders!
