Not having Kamara hurt, but his backup played admirably and made
some plays. This game was within reach which is all you can ask
for when playing a team as talented as JMU. We scored more
points on JMU than any other program in the last four seasons
other than FBS North Carolina in 2016 (the year they won the
natty).
Eventually though you have to start converting moral victories
into actual victories. One thing that has always frustrated me
with coach P is that his teams have a tendency to play up/down
to the competition. So we'll look great in a game against a good
opponent, but then lose stupid games like Albany and SEMO last
year, or Sacred Heart a few years ago.
This win should give us hope for the rest of the season for
sure, but it won't be a cakewalk. The road ahead of us is still
stacked and we'll need to finish 8-4 with a ranked win or two to
be comfortably in the postseason I say. Ty'son Lawton was
spectacular last night and really proved he can be the lead back
if White can't hang onto the football. That depth is good.
One thing you really have to think about though is that if
Fields is this good, why the hell was he on the bench behind
Carbone last year? This was something I anticipated. He has a
much stronger arm than Carbone and was making passes Carbone
could never even dream of, plus he's got the athleticism. Why
wasn't he playing sooner if he had this in him? You really have
to wonder.

I agree Fields should have started earlier but there was no real
reason to just randomly take Carbone out as starter unless he
was really sucking - he “led” the team to 10-3 and last year
they were 7-3 before he implored.

Sam Kamara’s injury really could have been a fame changer. JMU
ran the ball way too well and without him to stuff the run they
were able to move the ball downfield a lot through the run.

When did Kamara get injured? Do we know what is wrong with him
and when will he return.

You always play your best people. Competitive teams have an open
competition every year at every position. It's clear that we
weren't doing that at quarterback. It's possible Fields just
needed more time, but it's natural to wonder why we stuck with
Carbone for so long when we had a talent like Fields riding the
bench. Fields is our best qb since Essington. Carbone was
serviceable at best.

Do u really think they dont play their best players and they
arent a competitive program?. Campi has insight that most dont
have and is very close to the program. He had said quite a few
times that Fields wasnt ready the last couple of yrs. The is
college football where you earn your spot. QB's usually take the
longest. Although I think Carbone was thrust into action early
when he wasnt ready his freshman yr, he turned out to have a
very nice career at SB with two playoff appearences, a playoff
win and some great moments. What if's never happen.

The OC/QB Coach for SBU is Carmen Felus and when he first got
Fields as a true freshman even though he was a great athlete he
only was starter in HS for one year so it took him till now to
have him ready to be a College QB and he’s still learning.
On the other hand Carbone was a walk-on who they saw as a HB but
he became the QB because they had no one else. They recruited
many QB’s but couldn’t get the ones they wanted.
Coach Felus took Carbone as far as he could and he has done a
lot for Fields. Jack Cassidy has also come a long way but the
reason he’s not starting is because of Fields athleticism and
his ability to make things happen . The player that they all
love is Zamott and he will see playing time at some point this
year or next. Also in the Fall of 2020 Drew Guttieri will
arrive.
In my opinion the QB position will be in good shape for years to
come.
Coach P has said he likes the way the offense is going and don’t
be surprised at some point this year that they figure a way to
get the TE/HB used more often.
People have why don’t we get higher rated players well I don’t
have the list but some of the recruits that were at the game
last night are in that category and Raekwon Smith from Curtis HS
is a 3 Star DB and has already committed.
A lot of this is my opinion and some is not but I will try and
pass on whatever I can

Thanks for the info as always Campi
Some guys just develop slower, particularly in the Northeast. I
was thrilled seeing Field sling it all over the field yesterday-
he has improved even from Game 1 this season. Let's just hope he
continues to develop.
Lawton looks like he will be a star. He's strong and has great
quickness. Should be a fun remainder of the season

Stat I saw on Twitter - each of White, Lawton and Nekhet have
had a 100 yd multi TD game this year. White curiously got only
one snap yesterday but I believe I saw him on special teams
coverage so I don’t know what’s going on with him. It’s not
quite Liotine/Gowins of last year but all of the three RBs have
impressed so far. And to think we have Brinson waiting in the
wing.

Also they have another Freshman RB that’s being redshirted and
might bring in another one for the 2020 Class

yes- the situation at RB is looking good- continuing a nearly
uninterrupted run of talented RBs at SBU (gowins, bedell, brock,
maysonet, cuttino, gowins, coker, liotine, etc).
