Games on Comcast here in Phoenix. So, I get to watch ANOTHER CAAN'T conference game. I know these teams better than the BSC! :evil: :evil: :evil:

How the hell do you get to watch the game in Phoenix, but I'm a state away and get jack!?!?

BTW, I'm encouraged that 7 minutes have passed and we're still in it.

And...just to keep it a "game" thread.

Dukes go three and out. Tribe drives and throws pick. JMU picks up first down and punts.

W&M at its own 20.

I'm happy we at least forced a turnover - first since Liberty

Bill & Hillary busts off a 61 yard gain down to the 6 yard line. These two teams look incredibly.....AVERAGE. :| :| :|

Is JMU's punting bad? Looking at the drives on ESPN, JMU doesn't come even close to turning the field on punting. Short fields for W&M.

In a word. Yes.

Actually, he punted pretty good last week. Probably our MVP. :lol: :lol:

The last punt was 55 yards, but the guy returned it 27 yards. JMU is outclassed. They were talking before the game about how 9 out fo the last 11 times JMU has put up 200 yards rushing on W&M. I don't think JMU will get 200 yards of OFFENSE this game.

Was it one of those low type deals or an actual good punt??

I can't remember how our color guy called it.

So do we just want to score some points, or what??

How about a pass on 3rd and 8.

Nice field goal for him though...

7-3 Tribe.

So should we not go to shotgun anymore?

Either that or put Babington back at center and Arthur Moats with the sack! Guy's a beast

Wow. Sounds like if we can keep the pass in bounds, we'd have some good pass plays.

We actually seem to be moving the ball fairly well the last couple drives, just poor passing shoots us in the foot

In Thorpe's defense, after the seven yard loss on first down, it's tough.

I'll say this, at least he's looking for receivers this week. He still doesn't seem to have the chemistry with all the over-throws, though.
