Lot of oddities in this one.

W&M has done little in the passing game. 54 yard, 42% completion, 6.8 yards per completion. We've been gashed a few times in the running game. They have a lot of shifty backs, and we are overrunning some of the plays and creating cut back lanes for their runners. We're getting good pressure on the QB and have had 5 TFLs to this point.

Offensively, we've hit some big plays, but still struggling to just get the run game going and picking up first downs.

We've got to firm up those running lanes in the second half. Offensively need to keep some possession and open some running opportunities.

After going up 14-0 outscored 20-0, had 55 yds, 2 first downs, on the next 6 drives. 43 yds came on one play. So 12 yds on offense minus one play. We have our typical rushing game 34 yds. 127 yds of offense came on 2 plays. Outside of that not much.

Not much yardage, but honestly we're not even trying to run the ball that much right now. 9 total carries.
Not many oppotunities we ran only 24 plays(record low?) they ran 47.

Looking more like this is going to be the 2021 season. We may just need to play the young guys and take our lumps

this is one of those games where your heart gets torn apart between hope and despair
I mean, this W&M team was where we were last year. Loaded with seniors on both sides of the ball.

We're hanging in there.

Seriously, what’s the deal with this halftime? I’ve been watching other games and haven’t heard them say anything why it’s so long. Players aren’t even in the field.

Game's going on, Bottie. It's near the end of third quarter.
