back w more later... what are your thoughts?
First, they have had three weeks off ! weird. not their fault. bye week where I suspect they were prepping for Woff mainly and then Woff cancelled mid-week. that concerns me some as it means just as soon as Woff cancelled they could turn all their attention to us... and to be fair, we haven't been super innovative in offensive play calling (and yes, I understand you run the same plays to set up other plays later). The reverse and TE throwback were beautiful and executed so well. We may need a little more to keep ETSU off balance..
Otoh, we have played three live games and they have only played one. That's good.
Interestingly, we both played v sammy as our last opponent. Both won by a TD... But ETSU played a much lower scoring game 24-17 w vs our 44-37 w.
I usually view ETSU as a strong opponent without a super offense but they hang around - this was actually the first game I had circled based on last years results (VMI surprised me
). we lost up their last time
Anyway, to use Samford we gained 500+ (granted, OT) and Samford gained 400+ (granted, punt return and pick 6 allow no yds). So the high score..
We gained ~ 250 passing on 27 attempts ..and 250 rushing on 57 attempts
Sammy gained ~250 passg on 21 attempts .. and 150 rushing on 36 attempts
One weakness we had was giving up a few big pass plays..
When Sam played ETSU they rushed 34 times for ~100 yards - that is of concern. That's a strong run D... Sam also passed 55 times ! for 230 yards..
ETSU ran 37 times for 125 yards... and passed 30 times for 200 yds.
Another thing I see is that ETSU sacked Samford EIGHT times. wow - 8 ! That reminds me of a game recently I would rather forget. We better be ready for that .
Put another way, ETSU gained 5.0 yds per play v Samford. Samford gained 4 yds p play vs ETSU roughly...
We gained 6 yards p play vs Sammy but allowed sammy 7 yards per play !!
In short, ETSU kept the Sam O in check while we just outscored them. this will be a test
