Sure short throws keep the clock moving. I do not understand the pocket bombs up 18.

The misdirection running game has disappeared - and it was working.

I think our D line is showing lack of depth. One big burned play by De'Rickey is a TD. All in all not bad. Good to see us continue to click on O

I know they're not going to lose a game they had a 35-10 lead.

I thought our back 7 was our strength on defense.

A lot of good plays. But an increasing number of listless ones lately.
Agree, we actually have not kept the foot down last week and now this game is way too close for any kind of comfort. Defense just looks uninterested. But their offense is making plays pros don't.

We need the offense to stop throwing prayers and stopping the clock. We are ahead with 15 minutes left.

Keep the clock moving and go for the win - not style points.

No pressure by our D-line and our DBs can't cover anyone. They play too far off the receiver and then still get beat!!

Disappointing effort tonight…I expected Elon to be about like Hawaii but the score not to be that impressive…
