UR-JMU in-game thread

[Stonewall D]

After all of the talk, now it is time to take care of business. IMHO, the boys in red and blue win this one, but it will be close.

 

[urfan1]

I think the key will be -- can we hold onto the ball and score, and can we turn them over. I think we need to be at least +2 in the TO margin. I think it is possible.

 

[urfan1]

We may have to tighten up on the receivers, to easy for VL to find open receivers on that first drive.

 

[TBSpyder]

Great start by our offense. But our special teams and defense appear way outclassed. Not feeling comfortable at this point. Hopefully, our coaches can make some adjustments. I knew Vad Lee was very good, but I was hoping we could defend him a little better than we did in their opening drive.

 

[SpiderRick]

I predicted the game would hinge on special teams. Typical kickoff coverage for the Spiders. Need to kick the ball in the end zone!

 

[Stonewall D]

Now 7-7, Diggs just turned his ankle.

 

[urfan1]

Jacobi looking like a beast

 

[Stonewall D]

Wow, we have not missed a 3rd down conversion. 4 of 4 on third down.

 

[TBSpyder]

Two dropped passes in a row, now a missed field goal. Defense had better gel quickly, or a long afternoon.

 

[Stonewall D]

Yoder missed a fg.

 

[urfan1]

Early don't panic TB

 

[Stonewall D]

We can't let them go like this.

 

[TBSpyder]

I hope I regret saying this, really I do. But this looks like a FCS vs FBS game. Has JMU''s much talked about FBS aspirations, and bigger stadium, given them a recruiting advantage? We don't seem to match up with them at all, aside from our offense.

 

[Stonewall D]

Two drops on O hurt.

 

[SpiderK]

How about somebody catching a ball!!!!

 

[Stonewall D]

We don't seem to match up with them at all, aside from our offense.

No way. We match up well against them.

I don't buy that. They just run an offense that looks like Baylor and Oregon.

 

[urfan1]

Coach Trott make the necessary adjustments -- if we can we win this game

 

[Stonewall D]

We are driving again. We look pretty good on O.

 

[Stonewall D]

Nice a face mask on JMU.

 

[Stonewall D]

TD by Lauletta.

 

[urfan1]

what the heck happened to the TV game -- now rugby?

 

[Stonewall D]

TD by Lauletta.

I take it back. A TD by green and a cheap shot on Lauletta.

 

[urfan1]

Way to come back guys -- pukes hitting KL late, earlier throwing JG to the ground out of bounds -- dirty plays

 

[wr70beh]

Great call on the 2 pt conversion. Hope Lauletta is ok.

 

[urfan1]

Anybody else lose the TV feed?

 

[TBSpyder]

UR takes the lead by a point. But it's all the offense, who had the ball first. JMU gets ball first in second half. Defense and special teams, need to improve, make some tackles It's now their turn, let's finish the half with the lead.

 

[urfan1]

ON SIDE SPIDERS GET IT

 

[Stonewall D]

A recovered onside kick. What a gutsy call.

 

[TBSpyder]

Successful onsides kick by UR. You don't see that everyday.

 

[Stonewall D]

Another cheap shot and another penalty.

 

[urfan1]

Kudos to Coach Legg and the special teams

refs must have read my last post

 

[Stonewall D]

Anybody else lose the TV feed?

Nope.

 

[Stonewall D]

Hudson dropped another one.

 

[TBSpyder]

I don't like the FG try, we had them deep in their territory, and the offense is our superior team. I would have gone for the TD. We had a great shot on 3rd down, did Lauletta miss, or receiver drop the ball? Irrelevant now, we have a 4 point lead, and they have the ball. Stop them now, please.

 

[Ferrum Spider]

That was a missed opp, let's hope our d can get a to sometime

 

[TBSpyder]

I've lost the CAA.TV feed. Guess the game isn't yet coming out as they hoped. Will go back to Spiders radio.

 

[Stonewall D]

Good strategy to keep Vad Lee off the field.

 

[Stonewall D]

We are still playing off their receivers.

 

[urfan1]

great timing on the blitz Coach T
