Defense looking good so far.

Offense still suffering under "pass-only" play-calling.

The greatest play in football.....the snap over the punter's head.....gives the Spiders an 8-0 lead.

Totally with you - a safety is fantastic - by far my favorite way to score in college football!

 

[Ferrum Spider]

Hope our D can look like this from here on out. Least frustrating half of football to watch this season.

 

[MolivaManiac]

We should be up by a good bit more than 8-0. Need a score early in the 3rd to put the foot on their neck.

Thanks guys.

Really enjoying this game, but it makes the first 8 all the more frustrating.

I like running Kyle more in this game; I also like Goodall being given a decent chance to show his stuff.

 

[MolivaManiac]

We are having a really nice game today and nobody is on the board. If we were down, I'd venture that we would have dozens of posts about how much we stink. Crazy how that sort of thing works.

Great job by the team to show some GRIT and jump on the Cats.

Guys looking good, third quarter may have been one of our best this season

 

[ur2K]

Goodall looks great today.

 

[urfan1]

I really like the new names on D -- guys that have not been regulars starting to step up -- finally showing some depth

 

[urfan1]

like the fact that we are running the ball some with success

 

[spider fan]

This game totally rocks!

 

[Wood Hall]

Are we still firing the head coach or is he good for another week?

 

[spider fan]

Way to go shutout!

0 <----- what is that?? Congrats to the Spider defense. Solid away game.

Missed the whole game while traveling. Figures.

Anyone willing to summarize? Stats look unusual for the season but very encouraging.

 

[I-M-UR]

Traveling as well, looking forward to reading more. Congrats Spiders

Front 4 played well on defense and stopped the run early forcing true freshaman QB to scramble and make plays. He was ineffective and had a crucial fumble early on the Richmond 1 yard line. Our offense was efficient, throwing for 259 and running for 175. Score could have been more lopsided, but we settled for two field goals in the red zone and Kyle was intercepted in the red zone.

Only if he sounds like a redneck in his press conference.

Only 3,500 at game today.Strange given do or die situation for Nova.Talk about apathy.

 

[Spider B]

Great game today. If we can run the ball against Dolly like we did today, look out.

We were at the game and there was a strong UR component. The Villanova fans left early and often starting mid third quarter.

It's about time that someone gave Goodall a chance to play major minutes. The young man is good - and he gives us a big play threat. We need him more than many people realize if we are to have a chance at beating the Barneys next Saturday.

He needs to go!

We got a pretty good glimpse of our 2018 offensive strategy with KL run/pass option today.KJ will be Engineering that show.It opened up both Goodall’s running and Kyle’s running and passing.We don’t need to throw the homerun ball as we have previously.Durden’s playing calling was superb and he mixed it up without our prior hesitancies and choppiness and waiting endlessly for sideline guidance.

#20 was sitting for this game and possibly season.#6 had no carries and 1 catch.#27 played and had carriers and a catch.Durden is/has been very high on #2.
