Contra-intuitive perhaps, but while the thinking may be to run the ball to take time off the clock and keep the ball from the hands of JM,the passing game may be the key. Especially if JM is loading the D to stop the run. Gate has receivers at 6'6'", 6'4". 6'3".Their height can be an advantage but only if you get them the ball. Not knowing anything about the JM D, I can only think that however good they are their top coverage DBs can only go 2 or 3 deep. Then add in Madaluna who will poss a major converage issue. Not sure re Wingenroth as didn't notice him in the NH game. But he is a dangerous runner in the open field giving emphasis to the question- if you are JM which receiver do you cover with your least effective DB(s)? Quazza should be a go to guy especially on some third downs. A good passing game can be one of a runner's better friends.
On D, the time may be past for soft coverage. Assuming JM has a good air game they should be able to penetrate a D, if not pick it apart, which allows the receiver to catch the ball against soft coverage. Risky,of course,if the receiver is covered in a man D, but the best opportunity to win is likely to take some chances. If the QB is getting too much time to throw ala NH, some blitzes may be essential. Once more risky business, but an additional dose of risk may be necessary.
Hopefully, team will focus on stripping the ball.Turnovers can be decisive if all else goes well. Would be interesting to know Gate's strategy re Field Goals and distances for attempts.
At the end of the day, x s and o s are great, but it is the guys on the line who will tell the story. As John Madden would say look at the line of scrimmage and see which way the pile is going.NThat could be the story of the game. Go GATE!!

Weather is going to be perfect. Sunny and temps in the mid 50s.

Re: Watching game -- gate, 12/ 1/15 5:28:35pm Tue
This could be a true, campus/community event. Some schools broadcast away games on the jumbotrons in their stadiums. Others show them in auditoriums, gymnasiums or campus pubs. Nothing will top the experience I had watching the Raiders on the big screen in 2003 with hundreds of fans at the Palace Theater! Just electrifying - and unifying. Those were televised broadcasts, however, but the effort by the University was there. Haven't seen it since for any playoff game in any sport (hockey in LP would have been nice).

Re: JMU -- The Future, 12/ 5/15 4:45:33pm Sat
Awesome. So gutty. Everybody on this team has had his moment this year. Ford makes a huge play at the end. Wingenroth with an incredible catch--great to have him back. Ives with a big catch.
D held the #1 offense to under 300 yards.
Averaged 6.9 per rush. O line did a great job. Holland showing another gear.
Great effort. Great coaching. Just awesome.

Foly Huck 'Gate!!!
Don't look now, but it's Hunt vs. K.C. Keeler, the former Delaware coach who is now at Sam Houston State and spoiled our magical 2003 national title hopes. Not that we need that thought to motivate our team, but I don't think I can handle another Colgate loss to anyone associated with a damn Blue Hen.
Congrats, Colgate!
Soooo proud!

Outstanding performance! SU hired a new ball coach today yet the hottest, young coach in D2 football was only 35 miles east of the Salt City. Just saying. Go 'gate!

Winning is obviously great....
....But watching players, the team, coaches and the program making remarkable progress over a season is truly a unique pleasure!!
The evolution of all of this before your "very eyes" doesn't happen that often for fans that truly embrace their team.
Regardless of what happens for the rest of the season, this kind of intra-season progress will be cherished as a benchmark for a good long time in the future.
Hunt is inching closer to another COY award!
Go Gate!

Re: Ditto, The Green Coat's and The Future's Points! -- the last indian, 12/ 5/15 6:18:41pm Sat
I agree with the previous posts. My hope is that we a building something that is sustainable. I don't mean winning two playoffs games each year, but a program that compares favorably with the other good FCS programs year in and year out. We were not able to build on the 2003 success in any permeant way, but now with scholarships, I hope we can recruit more very good players, build depth and continue to excel while restoring Colgate's great football tradition.
We have many of these players coming back next year. It will be difficult to replicate this year and we certainly will not sneak up on anyone. All the other PL teams will be gunning for us, (btw I appreciate the posts on other sites from other PL fans rooting for us). But I am hoping we can make some more noise. Maybe some fans in the stands (someone noted more 'gate fans at JMU than at a typical home game).

Re: Ditto, The Green Coat's, The Future & The Last Indian's Points! -- Raider Archivist, 12/ 5/15 6:39:42pm Sat
Pretty uncharacteristic of The Last Indian to make such a long post....Must be pretty psyched up!
I think the point about "not sneaking up" on anybody next year is a great point. And, even with so many good players coming back, it's hard to replicate how the sequence of the season created the stretching physically and psychologically. There's often some let down in the following year.
That said, I think it's a great lever into upticking the recruiting targets and process for the rest of this recruiting season and into the following recruiting class.
Lastly, the large Gate contingent at JMU compared to Gate home games underscores the argument for the 7-4 away/home schedule strategy aimed at season enthusiasm, the right teams and the right locations. Gate fans will come, when those moving parts are elements of the winning equation. Being realistic about the larger fortunes of FCS football and the changing dynamics of Gate students/campus culture, this will be the best, if not the only way to bridge to Gate's great football tradition. And, ultimately the best contribution that the football program can make to the continuing growth of the institution's unique brand.
