Just back from the game...

We dominated Fordham all day. They have some great offensive weapons, but nothing else. I was really surprised at how weak they were on D and specials.

We have to figure out how to close. Like our other wins this should have been easy... and by the end I thought I was going to puke if we were going to overtime.

Let's not get so conservative with a lead. We had chances early in the 2nd to turn this into a blowout and were way too conservative. Maybe a young coach learning on the job?

Time to put the hammer down. No reason we shouldn't win the rest of our games & build momentum behind the program for both the playoffs this year and for our teams into the future.

Couldn't be happier! Held on by the fingernails & now down to Rusch's for the Met game. Does it get any better than that?

Let's Go Gate!!!

Thrilling game, flawless 1st half. So proud of the coaches and team. The enthusiasm from the sidelines - even before kickoff - was contagious. The fans were pretty incredible and most of them actually stayed!

And then the 2nd half happened.

Winning the coin toss means scoring on the first possession of the 3rd is significant. Fordham knew what it had to do after the half, and they made us punt. The tide had turned and their sidelines showed it. Missing 4th-and-1, a facemask penalty, a fumble, limited pass defense...a game of two halves to be sure but the Resilient Raiders somehow prevailed.

The season could very well come down to the Lehigh game on Nov. 14th. A loss would create a 3-way tie for first, and the tiebreaking procedures may force a league committee decision. Fordham and CU do not have any common OOC opponents; Lehigh and 'Gate both lost to Y&P.

Hope that Pujals/Holy Cross can get a win over the Mountain Hawks next weekend in Bethlehem...but most important, that we take care of business!
