New Hampshire at Army Official Game Thread

[UNHWildCats]

The Wildcats of New Hampshire travel to West Point looking for their fourth consecutive victory against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents.

More to come as the week progresses.

army may finish the season with no wins.. they looked terrible last week against a team that would make a good but not great FCS team

After seeing Army's performance last week.. I'd say there are probably at least five or six better teams in the CAA.

I expect that UNH is one of them.

Here is hoping we don't pull a James Madison on this one. I think we're about even chance to win, and it helps that it's not the home opener, so I hope we can pull it out.

Army played a good Temple team. Sounds like an oxy-moron, but Temple has a decent team this year. They won some games last year, and got screwed by a blown call against UConn last year that would have given them another win. This is not the same Temple team that Villanova used to beat up on.

Temple beat Army 35-7 last week.
Army rushed for 223 yards in this game and controlled the clock. They had 2 turnovers that lead to Temple touchdowns, but if you take those two touchdowns away, they still beat them solidly 21-7. Temple got 166 yards passing, but didn't have the ball much.

I see a good game here, but I have some question marks for New Hampshire this year, like most folks. Weather could also be a factor here, heavy rain will favor Army.


Go get'm UNH!!!.

After declaring JMU was the "lock of the year" over Duke I should keep my mouth shut. But with New Hampshires recent history of beating 1A foes (Marshall, Northwestern and Rutgers), I don't see Army giving them much trouble.

I GIVE EVEN ODDS ON LYLES RUNNING HIS 'BUNDLE OF STICKS" MOUTH AT HUDSON HIGH AND SOMEONE THERE KNOCKING HIS TEETH DOWN HIS THROAT........ONE CAN ALWAYS HOPE

I fell victim to thinking that JMU would beat Duke, but the FCS really needs a win right now and this game is our best chance.

Go get'm UNH!!!.

The schedule will answer one of those question marks quickly! As you notice not one UNH poster is on here guaranteeing a Wildcat victory, even the one with a history of running off at the mouth! That's because we all know what Northeastern did to us last year on a poor weather day. They ran it down our throats and controlled the clock. UNH can't allow Army (or Albany) to do that. After week three we should have an idea of how much UNH has improved its run defense.

With all the rain that New England has had this Summer, the last thing we need is Hanna dumping 12+ inches of rain on us. But if it has to happen, please wait until Sunday afternoon!!! I'm so looking forward to watching the cadets parade at 10:00 AM, the pre-game function, the game, hanging out with multiple friends, touring West Point on Sunday morning, etc.

If Santos was QB or if I had a season's worth of Toman to use in judgement I might have guaranteed a win, I think Toman will be a very very good QB, I just have nothing to back it up with...yet.
