Noticed they had their spring game today...recap and pics...
Offensively, four quarterbacks saw action, as Raphael Ortiz led the group by completing 5-of-11 passes for 102 yards with a touchdown. His 54-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Joey Brady as the second quarter clock expired proved to be the longest offensive play of the day. Michael Graham also threw a touchdown pass, a 13-yard strike to tight end Alex Gottlieb , to conclude the scrimmage.
A trio of Tribe running backs combined to rush for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Jarrell Cooper registered 66 yards (on 13 carries) and posted runs of 22 and 21 yards, while Darnell Laws rushed for 55 yards (on 17 carries) with a touchdown. Meltoya Jones also found the end zone on a 1-yard run.
Punter Tyler Bailey provided a highlight on special teams with an 82-yard punt early in the scrimmage.
As much as I hate to say it about our Oldest (but not most hated) Rival ... this could be the year for William and Mary. This team looks rock solid all the way through ... and still has the bitter taste of playoff defeat from the last two years in their mouths.
I think there's probably a gap between W&M, Delaware ... and the rest of the CAA right now ... and there may be a decent gap between W&M and Delaware.

The Tribe does stack up pretty well for this year, but we all know the CAA is full of surprises. W&M's defensive line losses appear to have been covered, but we'll have to wait for the UVA game to see if that unit is going to be as good as it looks like it can be. The LBs and DBs pretty much guarantee a decent defense, but the hope is for more than decent. WR is the remaining area of concern.
