Duquesne @ William & Mary

William and Mary get a gift opponent.

Mismatch #2… These two teams are close statistically, but that doesn't factor in Duquesne's terrible schedule strength—Dayton was actually the best team they played. This game shouldn't be close. The Tribe are lousy in the redzone offensively (even worse than Montana), so the Dukes will have to hold them to field goals to keep any hope of winning. Side note: Duquesne doesn't seem to have the return game to take advantage of this, but W&M's punt coverage is terrible—they actually allow more yards per punt return than they allow per kick return!

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- William & Mary
      
      Running Backs - William & Mary
      
      Receivers/TEs - (push)
      
      Offensive Line - William & Mary
      
      
      Defensive Line - William & Mary
      
      Linebackers --- Duquesne
      
      Secondary ---- William & Mary
      
      
      Kicking ------ William & Mary
      
      Punting ------ Duquesne
      
      Return Teams - William & Mary
      
      Kickoffs ------ (push)
      
      
      
      
      
      • Duquesne 9-34 William & Mary

Go Tribe.


BTW, upper deck on west side is coming along. It will look great when complete.

It's about time they did something with that shithole. It's historic and all, but the sightlines suck. That upper deck would probably be tolerable to watch a game from.

Yeah. This will quadruple the number of seats with good sightlines. Probably only about 1000 good seats now.
The east side has a big gap on the 50 yard line.

Do we even have a Duquesne fan here? If so, congrats on a nice effort.

Did the Tribe just give up 6 TD passes to a Dillon Buechel?

Yes, and they also lost to Delaware. They're not a great team. The CAA has no great teams this year. JMU was as close to great as we had before Vlee went down.
