I remember the 2008 monsoon game against Georgetown. It rained like hell that day (most i've sat through). Hoyas only had 88 yards total offense with 4 four 1st downs, and if I remember correctly their offense didn't cross the 50 until sometime late in the 3rd qtr/early 4th qtr.

That's exactly what happened. I've heard multiple first person accounts. At that point Rocco called the AD out of the stands to get the guy out of there. All this happened between the 1st and 2nd quarter. I was listening to the game on the radio. Bob Black was going nuts. It seemed to take 15-20 minutes to start the 2nd quarter.
BTW, I heard on Black's show today that The Norfolk State game is a sellout. I hope the students show up.
It was behavior like that which led the MEAC to opt out of post season play. There were probably so many complaints that they couldn't even host a playoff game.
What he say?
MEAC and SWAC play in a Bowl game which ESPN pays $1,000,000 annually rather than FCS playoffs.

Nor should the other coaches with ties to UR. Corp, Farragelli...
UR did what it needed to do when dismissing Scott.
Scott did (or appears to have done) what he needed to do to get his life back in order.
And we are both in better places now...no hard feelings.
Hopefully we can put them away early so we can see some of the younger guys get some snaps. I'm looking forward to seeing what Kolby Williams can add to our defensive line in the future.
Stonewall, if you know Scott , their will be not dirty shots in our game. Good man who has great respect for UR even though there was a unfortunate situation. On top of that you have Corp and Parker on the staff. First class people.
The MEAC teams play tough football, even if they don't have the athletic ability of some of our folks. Plus, they are in state schools. They probably would feel the same way about us as we do VA Tech, if we didn't play them.
I think we should play at least one of them.
difficult for a team, although we feel it should not be, to come out and play at the same level each week.
Yes Collins came out of half on crutches and a brace. These young RB's have to learn to pick up these blitzes for Lauletta.
Spiders were a bit off on offense and affected by penalties and some lack of execution, but defense and special teams played very well. It's hard to be too critical when the team wins 34-0. I am also hoping the Collins injury isn't as bad as it looked.
Agreed. Read this thread and you would've thought we had lost.
Always nice to get a shutout. That doesn't happen very often in today's age of offensive fireworks. Defense was very strong. Our DT's are very good. Norfolk State really didn't have much of a passing game. Once our defense figured out their jet sweep we were able to really clamp down.
Special teams were outstanding. Really good blocking on Jones's TD return and solid kick coverage as well. Offense was hot and cold. You see that a lot early in the season. Offense is all about rhythm and I thought we had some nice drives where we pressed the tempo and let Kyle spin it.
Norfolk State's defense impressed me. They played very fast and were giving our o-line fits by shooting gaps. They also were one of the harder hitting defenses I can remember visiting Robins Stadium and I mean good, clean football hits.
