Georgia Southern @ Old Dominion

[ITmonarch10]

Lets do this dance one more time GSU and this time you are on our turf.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

I see two possibilities here.

1) GSU plays sloppy on offense and ODU wins 56-31
2) GSU plays good on offense and the last team to score wins the game.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

Agree. This GSU team really just isn't great. We're "scrappy", but just too many holes and we haven't played well for more than 2 1/2 quarters all year.

I have zero confidence in our blocking and defensive secondary. ODU might beat themselves, but the Eagles just don't have it.

Our defense is crappy as hell and can't stop anyone on 3rd down. You know every simulator I tried has both teams putting at least 425+ yards on each other. Basically, its coming down to who has the ball last and who turns the ball over the most.

[heath]

100+ points,1,000+ yards and a great game. ODU wins by 7.

[seantaylor]

ODU may have the worst defense in the history of the division. We will score at will. I like our chances.

[md64179]

With app out of the mix, I'm going to say something I have never said before... Lets go eagles. Represent the socon

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

ODU may have the worst defense in the history of the division. We will score at will. I like our chances.

Yeah skins, but we have to not turn the ball over and punch it in when we get close. Getting a bajillion yards and not converting those into points isn't going to do us any good.

[seantaylor]

I agree. I really wish Monken would take the reigns from Brent Davis. Not sure what this guy is thinking on his playcalling and formations. And, Hanks better never attempt another field goal.

[ITmonarch10]

Our defense isn't the worst in history ,but is most definitely the worse among the remaining teams by a fair margin. Besides poor tackling, I think its just poor play calling on 3rd down. It doesn't make sense how often teams convert on 3rd and long on us.

[Ginsbach]

ODU may have the worst defense in the history of the division. We will score at will. I like our chances.

You obviously didn't see Idaho State play this year...

[caribbeanhen]

should be another great game just like last year..... will GeoSo fumble it away because ODU wont stop em

[GaSouthern]

I really don't think we will be able to keep up with ODU's scoring... ODU by 10

[GSU EAGLES]

I agree. I really wish Monken would take the reigns from Brent Davis. Not sure what this guy is thinking on his playcalling and formations. And, Hanks better never attempt another field goal.

I don't get running out of the shotgun if we are not going to throw it more out of that formation. It makes the dive less effective and they know you are going to run it.

Of course, any young coordinator that wants a promotion doesn't want to be stereotyped as an option only coordinator. that only gets you a job at a service academy.

[seantaylor]

That is the crux of it. I hate it. Davis clearly trying to not pigeonhole himself, but at the detriment of GSU? The shotgun stuff infuriates me. Especially on short yardage stuff.

[elon77]

Having just watched ODU and being a spectator of both teams, all I have to say is............ let the track meet begin. Keep your head on a swivel.

[bullitt_60]

Ugh... I like ODU and all, but I really don't want to do this again.

[Eaglesrus]

I don't expect this one to go well for us, but I plan to be there, anyway.

[DJnva]

Noon Saturday on ESPN.

[Ivytalk]

Hanks actually made one yesterday, didn't he? How many did he miss?

[GATA_Eagles]

Hanks actually made one yesterday, didn't he? How many did he miss?

He was 1-2 yesterday

[GSU EAGLES]

Missed a chip shot 27 yarder

[blueballs]

Hanks actually made one yesterday, didn't he? How many did he miss?

Made a knuckleball 40 yarder that left fuzz from the laces on the crossbar and missed the obligatory 27 yarder. GSU now has 8- count 'em 8- misses from under 30 yards on the season.

The problem is far from solved and may yet cost the team their season... BUT, IMO it is on the offense at this point to score TD's and not settle for FG's. The only time GSU should be settling for FG's is in a time crunch at the end of a half or game.

[citdog]

Missed a chip shot 27 yarder

kid has a good leg and is only a freshman. He will go to a camp this summer and next season he will be better. You probably only have yourselves to blame for not recruiting better so as not to have to rely on a freshman. There is no such thing as an easy field goal. A great many things have to go right.

[Drblankstare]

Good lord, if I was a betting man, I would take the OVER in this game. I'm saying 50-48 G. So

Seriously? Yeah, we fans should sit around and blame OURSELVES for not recruiting a kicker.

if it comes down to it, and it probably will you can do this in the Crapsville Bar and Grill.

If I were Monken, I'd be lining up every willing body that wants to see if they can put one through the uprights. Doesn't matter what position you play.

[asujch]

The deciding factor in this one will be how the GSU secondary plays, if they allow the big pass plays like they did against App it'l be a long long day for the eagles.

[swaghook]

I personally like GSU because they run the option which used to be the meat & potatoes of NDSU football for many years. But not sure they have the D to stop ODU so as much as I would like to see a rematch with GSU and a good time with their traveling fans...I have to say it will be ODU moving on.

[GSU EAGLES]

We will have to use the Villanova recipe of controling the clock which led to a 38-14 win over ODU.

Anyone know how well the option is at controling the clock?

[gsu2583]

...Let me check my...I have the figures here somewhere...

[swaghook]

33:16 for GSU and the triple O almost as good as NDSU with it's west coast offense at 35:42. ;) ODU might get by one team but can they get by both if NDSU takes care of business on Saturday.

[Reign of Terrier]

If GSU wins this game and then loses the semifinals, Monken is officially the Andy Reid of the FCS.

[CC Eagle]

We will have to use the Villanova recipe of controling the clock which led to a 38-14 win over ODU.

This is the key to GSU winning.

Last year, the Eagles had a steady enough offense to get into a shootout with ODU. This year, the offense can be more explosive, but is also more apt to turn the ball over or be ineffective for a few drives in a row.

I don't think that the ODU defense is up to the task of shutting down the option, but its offense will likely win another 50something-40something firefight.

Best case scenario: GSU's offense starts out hot and ODU is just as helpless defensively as last year, leading to an early 14-0 lead. THAT's where the gameplan changes for GSU. Las year, the Eagles got up early and were confident/content to just keep on scoring as ODU was always behind. This time around - even if the option is opening up big plays - the Eagles need to just churn out 4-5 yards at a time and keep the clock rolling.

The best way to stop a potent passing attack is to instill the mindset that - no matter how effective it is - it will only get a small number of drives to prove it.

[keller625]

seriously? yea lets blame the kicker because our offense isn't scoring touchdowns. blame hanks... we have what, 3 kickers, and we play our best one. not denying he isnt that good this year but he isnt the problem, we shouldnt be kicking at all our problem is not scoring touchdowns.

[Southern Swarm]

Honestly unless its under 30 yards and it directly gives us the win or takes us to overtime, we should just drop our kicking game. Boy howdy is it bad. We more likely to convert 3rd and 5(ish) than we are to make a 30+ yard FG. Even when we're inside the 5 I'd rather go for it an fail (putting them deep on their own goal line) than kick what for most teams is a chip shot but for us it 50/50 crap shoot.

[Southern Swarm]

If we can continue to limit the turnovers, and not let ODU break too many tackles on offense I like our chances. Don't see how it isn't a shootout regardless though. Our secondary has proven it can be vulnerable.

Which coach would you take ? Is it better to get there and lose, or never get there at all ?

It isn't easy to be in the final eight in any division, consistently. That is why I always laugh at those folks who attempt to diminish a team, as if there is some shelf life that expires and minimizes the magnitude of the accomplishment.

This is not a knock on Coach Ayers (because I respect the heck out of him), but the first record is his first three years as a D1 head coach, in the SoCon.

Might be just way too early in Monken's career to put that never-can-win the big one tag on him. Ayer's has had a lot of time to put Wofford into the semi's (happened just once), yet Monken has done it twice in a much shorter time frame.

While I see where you are going, I'm thinking your post is pretty far off base and it is way too early in Monken's career to try to draw the parallel.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

I'll go the other direction and say it's amazing that Monken and his staff have been so successful. Ga Southern football died for four years and was a complete joke in 2009.

I'm very optimistic about our future having another 22 scholarships and keeping Georgia players that have been going to Middle Tenn, Troy, Southern Miss, etc. close to home with the Eagles. I will miss travelling to Spartanburg, Greenville, and Charleston.

[SouthernMan]

IF Mike Ayers gained some weight and grew out his moustache he would LOOK like Andy Reid. Which is about as intelligent as your statement.

You can't be serious...

If Monken reaches the semis in 3 consecutive years given the train wreck he inherited in December 2009 he should be coach of the decade in the SoCon. To reach the semis in back to back years (and to win consecutive conference titles/autobids) and follow it up with an elite 8 berth is mighty impressive in its own right.

Then you factor in the fact that Eagle football has enjoyed the best collective GPA and had the most players with 3.0+ GPA in program history under his watch and it is a no brainer.

Obviously, you didn't get the reference. The eagles, from 2001-2003, made the playoffs, had homefield advantage and lost in the semis 3 straight years before winning it (only to subsequently lose to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX). If GSU loses, there will be a slight parallel. That was my point. It was a joke, said in jest. People on here need to gain a sense of humor about themselves and their team.

PS: don't compare Ayers and Monken because the situations they both walked into were wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy different.

PPS:Mike Ayers has not coached a 1-10 season at Wofford. the record of his first 3 years was 5-5, 6-5, 9-3, after inheriting a team that had won 2,3, 4, and 1 games in the 4 seasons prior to him being hired. Let's reiterate the fact that Ayers took a 1 win NAIA team to be a 5 win D2 team in his first year.

IMHO, this will be a shootout. However, ODU will win 56-35. GSU's offense sputters. ODU's defense is porous, but it can hold teams below 35. GSU's offense is a triple option and is run oriented. ODU's offense is pass oriented, but it can run. ODU's biggest weakness is its defense. Option teams just can't win shootouts against teams like ODU. ODU will score at least 50 points.

Or, you could argue that you can't always throw for 500 yards a game, and that the ODU offense is overdue to sputter. Coastal Carolina is/was/now tied with a defensive rank of 96th in the nation. GSU is 29th I think. ODU is 82nd in defense. Going to be much more stout game I think. ODU is #1 in total offense, and GSU is #10. Much closer numbers there.

Just remember this...

GSU has faced a far better passing team (UGA) than ODU and didn't give up 50. In fact, GSU has faced 3 pretty good passing attacks in the last month (App, UGA, UCA) so they will be as prepared as they can possibly be. ODU has not faced a ground attack like GSU.

Also, the option team (GSU) eliminated ODU in a shootout last year.

I've watched several games with both teams this year and ODU ain't 3 TD's better than GSU.... they might win but they ain't 3 TD's better. It should be a good one...

[pike51]

I'm not sure I agree with this for 2 reasons...

1. I'm not convinced UGA has a better passing game
2. UGA was more balanced and didn't play to burn us on the pass every play as ODU will.

We will need a monster day from our secondary and D Line.

No tailgating in garage, only surface lots. The lawn in front of the Webb Center is open for tailgating to anyone but that *might* be a no alcohol/family zone.

At this link, there's a map to the reserved areas for tailgating: http://www.olddominionaf.com/membership/parking-and-tailgating.aspx

On that map, Garage C and D are free parking. There's more free parking back towards the baseball and soccer fields (near the yellow lot). Some smaller lots are marked (or at least they had been last year) as no tailgating.

I'm sure with a quick call to the school, you can ask if those unmarked lots are open for tailgating.

I have a sense of humor. But you have to say something funny.

First, GSU hasn't had homefield advantage throughout, so any 'slight' parallel you made is specious at best. And hardly the type of material that leaves folks laughing hard.

Second, I wasn't aware of these unwritten rules you have for making comparisons ... maybe you can list them somewhere xrulesx

And, regarding your PPS .... before you were likely born ... Coach Mike Ayers was the head coach at East Tennessee State, a team that used to play SoCon football. My point stands, and was as accurate as the first time I wrote it.

I put down the two coaches' records in their first three seasons as Division I head coaches, up for comparison. Both coaches inherited a team that went 6-5 the season prior to them taking over.

You jumped to a conclusion. It was wrong.

You're switching the context of the argument in order to make your point, and that doesn't necessarily work. Mack Brown went 6-5 in one season at App State, do you think he's an inferior coach to say, Pete Lembo, Charlie Weis at Notre Dame or an abundance of other coaches.

That talent level at GSU is a lot higher than that of ETSU in the mid-80s and of Wofford in the late 80s, that's both from an overall stand point and from a comparable to the talent they play standpoint. That's why it's not a fair comparison, so don't give me that.

Let me make my point more clear then:

In their first three seasons in as a head coach, find me one not named Erk Russell or Paul Johnson who has done more than Jeff Monken at the FCS/I-AA level.

Bobby Wilder is about as close as it comes at this point, and he's still in search of a semi-final berth (throwing that in here to stay on topic, sort-of :D)

If you are going to retreat on the initial point you made about the coaching, and then place it on the talent level .... say that. That is switching the context of the argument.

Richmond's National Championship winning coach.

You're changing the context of the argument because you think what Ayers inherited at wofford or ETSU is the same as what Monken inherited at GSU. Talent level does have a lot to do with success.

Monken inherited a team that had zero players on it with SoCon rings, or a single playoff game under their belt, and then proceeded to completely change the offense.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

[seantaylor]

Monken followed Chrissy Hatcher. Almost completely destroyed the program. I give Sammy Baker a tiny bit of credit for throwing him out on his face after he hired him, but of course, he never should have been hired. If we had let Hatcher stay on for even one more season, we would have been in a complete free fall even if Monken was hired in 2011. Monken would have had us in the playoffs this season, but not last season.

I am also looking forward to it. Being a diehard Fighting Christian who lives near ODU I will be able to attend this good match up. I just hope the folks from the only true GSU don't bring any stink, gnats or ragged school buses that will ruin the beauty of Norfolk and The State of Virginia.

[caribbeanhen]

is this just gonna be a replay from last years game?

[ODUwildman]

I just want to get to Fargo so I can watch the Monarchs live this year ... not easy when you've lived in Minnesota and Colorado for the first four years of their football existence. I've been to at least one game a year since they started up. Rooting hard for ODU and the Bison.

Then, when I get to Fargo, I can invade The Turf like I have for every July for the past 14 years.

[PaulsonStadium]

What are the chances of Wilder sticking around much longer? I would figure he would be a nice OC at big time program.

Honestly ODU fans.... how bad are the seats in section 101? From the seating charts other people have posted it looks like we only get to see just the endzone. Is the visiting team on section 101 side?

Section 101 is the home side. Visitor sections are usually 121 and 122 directly across the field from 101. The seats aren't great, but you'll at least have a good view of the video board.

In those sections, the higher up you are the better. It's not horrible. I've sat there a few times, on both sides.

And if there's something you can't see, the video board is showing live action.

[ElCid]

Georgia Southern by 14. But only if they hold onto the ball, and they have outstanding ball control to chew up the clock, and they get some stops on Defense. OD defense is not going to stop the Eagles, no doubt there. If Georgia So. has nice long sustained drives, OD will simply not have enough time to crank the score. If Geogia So. has some bad turnovers or their D just doesn't show up and the scoring machine can't be stopped, toss up.

[narc]

What I would like to happen: ODU's defense holds back GSU just enough for the offense to do what they do best and squeeze out a W.
What I expect to happen: ODU's defense remains incapable of tackling and the offense is unable to cover the difference.

Shorter: If Ga Southern's offense plays well and the ODU defense plays bad, Ga Southern wins. HOWEVER, if the Ga Southern offense turns the ball over and the defense allows ODU to score a lot, ODU wins.

I kid because I care :)

[straightshooter]

I'm sure that both coaching staff have dissected every play that both teams run. They will have a plan that they feel will work. It's going to be difficult to stop the ODU passing game. It seems that they never get a holding call against them, and I can assure you that they will be holding Russell and Dubose, because those guys are relentless pass rushers. It will be interesting to see how the officiating goes in this game. Anyone know which conference the officials assigned to this game are from? GSU's best option on D is to keep things short and not give up the big long plays. That will slow down the ODU scoring and make them earn every yard. Interesting things can happen with a D can do that.

ODU will most likely start out with the defensive scheme that Central Arkansas employed in the second half of the game last week against GSU. They did slow the Eagles down a bit, but GSU shot itself in the foot to keep from scoring more than UCA shut them down. ODU will have to decide what part of the GSU offense they want to attack. UCA took out the dive and covered the pitch, but left the QB to do his thing. The result was McKinnon rushing for 316 yards. McKinnon is a very different athlete than was Jaybo Shaw, who was the GSU QB last year. Shaw ran the offense very well, but really wasn't a homerun threat with the ball in his hands. He was great near the goal line, but rarely had runs over 10 yards. McKinnon has 4.38 speed and can take it to the house on every play. The speed of the offense is faster this season because of McKinnon's speed. It will take ODU some time to adjust to that speed. If ODU commits the strong safety to the QB, as some teams have done, look for some GSU WR to be running uncovered and wide open for long gains or TDs.

Will be a great game. The crowd at ODU will not intimidate the Eagles. They tend to play pretty well on the road.

[asumike83]

If it comes down to needing a big stop late in the game, I think GSU is more likely to get it. Should be another exciting game like last season, I like the Eagles to pull out another close one.

[seantaylor]

66 is going full guinea in this one. Eagles 58-31

[Southern Swarm]

If we win the coin toss I say we defer. Momentum is probably going to the team that get's the first stop not the first score (of which their will undoubtedly be many, I'm sure I'm not going out on a limb when I say that.)

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

66 is going full guinea in this one. Eagles 58-31

I can tell you right now that we aren't going to be overly aggressive in this game. The way that Heineke can scramble and make quick and good decisions, it just won't work. I fully expect us to try and play coverage here.

[Baldy]

True, I would imagine we'll be in a dime package all day.

[The]

Unless ODU's offense isn't ticking at all, I don't think TOP is going to matter as much as some people think. Our offense is built to score in 2-3 minutes and we lose the TOP much more often than not. We had 48 points last year against GSU with a TOP of 22 minutes.

Regardless, if anyone thinks this game will be a blowout in either way, they're fooling themselves. This one is gonna be fun.

S**t I'd just like to see one of our d-backs chuck someone at the LOS. We've got 5 yards to slow them down a bit, just like they do us. I'd rather we put a hit on them at the line of scrimmage, mess up their timing by a half-tick, and start running with them side-by-side than give them a 7-10 yd. buffer.

Agree. But I have this strange feeling that the game will be much lower scoring than everyone else. Kinda reminds me of the Auburn/Oregon BCS title game in 2010. The AU and UO offenses were the two most powerful in FBS and everyone thought the game was going to be a track meet. The final score was 22-19. Can't wait.

[Blue Eagle]

Agree. This GSU team really just isn't great. We're "scrappy", but just too many holes and we haven't played well for more than 2 1/2 quarters all year.

I have zero confidence in our blocking and defensive secondary. ODU might beat themselves, but the Eagles just don't have it.

Your opinion is worth as much as mine, but I have to disagree with you.

First, we have a safety, JJ Wilcox for those who don't know, who made the Senior Bowl!!

Where we may agree is the defensive schemes we have used. If we don't put presure on their qb our offense will have to score a lot of points.

If I were the defensive coordinator and it's a good thing I'm not I would not worry about the run except for their qb. I would have the 4 defensive linemen and at least 1 linebacker "pinning their ears back" and rushing the qb.

I would have 1 linebacker playing more passive & spying the qb until he gets rid of the football then concentrating on the ball carrier.

I would have the third linebacker, Stephenson, concentrating on the pass.

I would put JJ & Darius near the line of scrimmage and have them agressively playing their best 2 receivers as soon as the ball is snapped to disrupt their routes.

I would move our cornerbacks to the safety positions and have them play zone.

Well, you see why we are lucky not to have me as our defensive coordinator, but I'm "nuts" enough to think this would work because I believe we have good enough players to make it work, anyway, just my thoughts!!

As for as blocking I believe we lead the FCS in rushinng!!

A fact, if our place kicker had made a field goal from near the 20 yd line against the Citadel or made 2 of 3 from that distance against App St we would probably be the number 1 or 2 seed.

If we can't make field goals from that distance we are in serious trouble!!

[Reign of Terrier]

IMO this game will be interesting. with the exception of last week, GSU defense hasn't played too well, especially against the pass, with each of their 4 opponents having at least 250 yards passing

We also had to start a true freshman at corner those 4 games. Don't think that will be the case today.

[seantaylor]

We have two sledgehammer safeties to put the hurt on these small receivers.

No, but looks like you guys are sweating this one big time

[GSU EAGLES]

One point of note is that ODU is the only team remaining from the CAA, which included a bad loss to Wofford last week. The CAA is down this year which could play a factor in today's game.

[gsu2583]

Ah, he can read!

Yeah just about all GSU fan-posters are. I don't think we have the gas to go much further. MAYBE to Fargo. There's only so much you can "talk" about a game anyway. Eventually a CAA team with a 5-6 record will pop up SOMEWHERE in the conversation.

Interesting with it being on ESPN at noon with no other football game on until Army & Navy at 3:00 this game probably will have more
viewers than the National Championship!!

With their contrasting styles this could be a real showcase game for FCS football ironically, with both teams probably moving to the FBS next year!!
