2014: Game 9 - SBU @ UNH 10/25 3:00pm
By: Chairman of the Board Date: October 20, 2014, 8:03 am
---------------------------------------------------------
UNH has to be the favorite to win the CAA at this point (maybe
Nova)- dominating the competition, sitting in first, and only
Richmond even came close in conference play. That was at
Richmond and UNH pulled out 29-26 victory.
UNH beat up on W&M 32-3, and that was two weeks ago; they had
the bye week this past saturday and will be well rested and well
prepared for SB. Weather should be mid 60s and PC.
UNH is ranked #3/#5 in the major polls, if that means anything.
Off topic but CCU is 7-0.
The Seawolves lost last year's contest 31-13. The last i
remember before that was a crushing defeat about 7-8 years ago
when SB was a very different program. Toledo held them to 20 in
their only loss.
GO SB

I have a feeling that this is going to be a very physical game.
lets hope the CAA decides to televise this game, its a big one
for CAA too, not just us. I already tweeted them my suggestion
on this. I suggest others do the same thing. @caafootball
CAA is not giving SB any love, so an upset of one of their
favorites would be icing on the cake. Marvin Hart for SB gets
two interception, Luke Allen kicks a 72 yard punt, and we end up
with ZERO players on the CAA Week 8 Award winners.

We can def. say that SB is now in the middle of the pack of FCS'
second best conference...which is something. A win over UNH
would immediately step it up a notch

we went to the game and yes the WIND was the real advantage and
disadvantage- but honestly, the first punt was not that high and
went about 35 yards, and the returner looked at our guys coming
down the field. The "72" yarder was a misplayed ball by the
returner had no real hang and was about 38 yards bounce in our
favor-and if you saw Luke on the sideline-he was grateful for
this misplayed ball. A stronger punt returner won't make the
same mistake. The missed PAT was on the holder- but agree we
have a lot of work to do there. O really struggled in the second
half and the goofy 2nd calls were just nuts.

StateofMind: wow, great you could go to the game. My
observations of the second half from an offensive perspective
were that we got too predictable in our game plan. seemed like
Elon figured out how to slow down the run game, and we did not
dial up the pass game. not sure how many of you noticed, but we
did NOT run a pass play for the entire first quarter, 18
straight running plays. at start of second quarter, we started
passing, Bednarski hit three straight passes, then cooled off,
and we never really went back to the passing game after that.
One interesting play was a flea flicker, which worked perfectly,
right up to the point where the receiver dropped the perfectly
placed pass in the endzone. I dont think we will fare well
against UNH if we just keep running Bedell over the left side of
the O line all afternoon long.

Interesting read on the CAA and playoff chances for our team.
sounds bleak, even if we win out. we may be surging too late...
In the FCS Huddle: CAA may be too good for itself
By Craig Haley, FCS Executive Director/Senior Editor
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - On the surface, CAA
Football appears to be in terrific shape for having FCS playoff
teams next month.
Four of the teams have at least five wins and another four have
at least four wins, making it the strongest conference outside
the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
But too much of a good thing can catch up to a top FCS
conference. The Missouri Valley learned the hard way last season
when only two of its teams qualified for the playoffs (although
North Dakota State went on to capture its third straight
national title). Too many possible playoff squads had their
resumes collapse in November.
Over the final five weekends of this year's regular season, the
CAA must hope its teams don't do the same as the Missouri Valley
did last year, when they knocked each other off in the wrong
combination of results. If it happens in the deep CAA, the
conference could go from having four or five qualifiers (if the
playoffs began today) to only two come Nov. 23.
Fifth-ranked Villanova (6-1, 4-0) and third-ranked New Hampshire
(5-1, 3-0) have been the most outstanding of the CAA teams and
are the surest bets for playoff berths.
From there, it's anybody guess.
Two results on Saturday were particularly damaging to the CAA's
playoff cause. Delaware (4-3, 2-1) and William & Mary (4-3, 1-2)
both let a fourth-quarter lead slip away at home and lost a
conference game. Delaware's defeat was worse considering it
occurred against a Towson team that was 2-5 and already out of
the playoff picture.
Delaware visits William & Mary next weekend so the loser will
sink even further.
There's also five-win teams in Richmond and Albany, and
high-scoring James Madison and defensive-dominant Stony Brook
are surging but come from far off the pace. Any analysis of
these teams' remaining schedules creates great pause because of
their toughness.
Anything short of eight wins may not be enough for an at-large
bid. It won't be easy for most of the teams to get there, and
only one will receive the CAA's automatic bid to the playoffs

BFF,
You're assessments very accurate, and on the flea flicker it did
take a bit too long to get going and if AC would have taken the
step inside on the safety he would have scored- or even if he
ran the post pattern inside because that was open early as
well.. The 41/43 dives were getting old- and Elon picked them
up fairly well (hope we do can better in the play section with
UNH)
I do give credit to Coach P for at least giving it to the refs
and showing some emotion with the lack of holding calls against
Allen, Camera and Thompson, but what some of us really liked was
the spark the D guys got into on the sidelines after our last
pick. Great intensity from the guys. Lastly, the Elon fans
pretty much left after the homecoming court was announced- so
showed a difference between our fans and theirs.

in previous games, I thought bednarski did an excellent job on
the play action passing plays. with our strong running game, it
seems like a since to go play-action, freeze the D for a moment,
and then hit some quick strikes. I also wonder why bednarski
never runs on the read option plays. his call or the coaching
staff? especially on Saturday, Elon overloaded the left side on
the read option hand offs, bednarski could have skipped down
field for 5-10 yard gains, that play was sooo open.

Gotta pray to the football gods all week for a upset. this one
is gonna be hardddddddddd. New Hampshire is never easy and it
will be no different on Saturday. Just hoping that our surging
wolves somehow figure it out. It would be awesome to be UNH at
Durham.
Nonetheless, I have to say that I'm really pleased with how our
season has turned out so far. To be .500** after starting the
season 1-4 is a big relief. Even better when we are 3-1 in the
CAA.
Defense has to come out and SHUT down UNH!!
GO SEAWOLVES!!

well, unless you are traveling to NH this weekend, we are
watching the SB game on the computer >:(
CAA chose to televise Albany vs Colgate instead of our match up
with NH.
I assume we can pick up a link from CAA to watch the game for
free, otherwise you have to pay UNH for access to their
streaming video.
