I would guess Johnson!

 

[VT_Spider]

I say we try to put up 80 like jmu does.

 

[DTSpider]

Johnson should have the red shirt on. Don't burn it here. Please.

 

[gcarter52]

Only if the second and third teams are in the game. Mancuso looks good......

 

[WolfSpider]

Younger guys getting some quality minutes. KJ tightly tucking in his redshirt on the sidelines. A beautiful day in SpiderNation.

Sometimes games like these end with bench clearing brawls!

Sometimes they don't.

They played very well. Jumped on them early and stayed on it. Kyle and the offense were flawless. Kicking and secondary still scare me but the front 6 played great. Fun to watch today.

 

[72Spider]

Both lines absolutely dominated line of scrimmage.

 

[I-M-UR]

Wow never expected this? UNLV and Kent State must be the worst teams in the FBS. Spider's played great, only complaint was kick off coverage. I was glad to see Johnson not play indicates they may be considering red shirt.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Solid all around effort. Great job running the ball on O and I liked the play calling today.

Great job on D to sell out on the running back. Dale Matthews was all over the place. Huge game for #22.

Glad some of the young guys were able to get some heavy reps too.

 

[DTSpider]

Fun afternoon at RS. Great first home game for Huesmann. Love that so many walk-ons could get meaningful snaps.

So many things went right today, including the weather. All started with the lines. Hopefully we got out of there without any injuries and can have another great week next week.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Is Jay Palmer starting to look A little bit like Kendall Gaskins to anybody else? 27 is really coming along.

 

[Spider B]

Kyle was great as usual but my game ball goes to both lines. If they continue to play like they did today, we will be really hard to beat.

 

[DTSpider]

Agree - Palmer sticks his foot in the ground and goes. We seem to be figuring out the RB rotation a little. Good to be able to rotate in fresh guys.

 

[SpiderRick]

Don't know whether it's true. Heard that a JMU announcer called our football program a bunch of "pip squeaks"!

Time and place for everything. FRS folks may find you more credible if you didn't hijack every single thread with the JMU crap.

 

[KE Spider]

Team executed well today , O and D, to say the least, but the coaching was superb! Shout out to RH and the assistants. They nailed it on both O and D preparation. Bodes well for the future.

That's why I refused to respond to his post....didn't qualify a response.

 

[Spiders05]

What post?

 

[Marley13]

Power trip 05?

Doing my best to keep things relatively to the subject at hand.

 

[VT_Spider]

I love being up on MEAC teams!

Hilarious stuff from Russ at the beginning of that interview.

 

[Stonewall D]

I think Coach is surprised at how good his team is.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Quick. Name 2 FBS programs we would definitely beat.

 

[gcarter52]

UVa and Duke

 

[Stonewall D]

Quick. Name 2 FBS programs we would definitely beat.

Virginia, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Indiana, if we can stay healthy. In fact, I would say half of the ACC. I would also like another shot at Sam Houston.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I was thinking UNLV and Kent, but I love the optimism!

 

[Stonewall D]

I have a feeling we will see Sam Houston again.

 

[urmite]

It will be interesting to see who the top 8 are by the time the playoffs come around.
Maybe a couple CAA, 2 maybe 3 MVFC.
Outside of Sammy who outside of those conferences looks top 8 right now?

 

[I-M-UR]

Don't get to giddy guys; confernece play is going to be tough.

 

[I-M-UR]

We never punted yesterday, how often has that happened?

 

[DTSpider]

Who got the game ball yesterday? Pregame Huesmann said he wanted to give it to a special teams player. jones blocked FG was a huge play but assume KL got it for his amazing game

 

[Spiders05]

Who got the game ball yesterday?

If you're talking about the UD/Cornell game, I think Rocco did.

 

[32counter]

If you're talking about the UD/Cornell game, I think Rocco did.

Cornell preseason Ivy ranking was forecasted to finish LAST.Yes,that's LAST,below powerhouse Columbia.

Delaware State was picked to finish last in the MEAC.

Talk about cupcakes.

 

[VT_Spider]

I have a feeling we will see Sam Houston again.

We absolutely will. It will be a whole lot different the second time around.

 

[PASpiderDad]

Great to see so many players get on the field yesterday. The execution on offense and defense was excellent, but still shaky on some special teams. I feel bad for the players that a lot is made of another "sell out", but stadium seemed like it was 2/3 full (maybe).

 

[Spiders05]

Was waiting for this kind of comment...

All tickets were allocated...students were great, team looked good, fans cheered until it became a route....

Can't do anything about those that don't come, yet buy tix.
