What is the most surprising about the early 28-0 score is that Samford hasn't forced any turnovers. This isn't a quick pick six scenario or anything. The Citadel has 3 punts and Samford has 4 scoring drives. They are at 232 yards through less than 11 minutes of the game. Bulldog defense needs to pick it up.

28-0 Samford about 5 minute to go in the first Q
232 yards to 12 for Citadel. Not sure Citadel has gotten off the bus yet.

Looks like THE Samford Bulldogs have figured out some defense from last week...Holding Citadel to 14 total yards in the first 3 drives.

You can probably talk if Samford scores 42 in a half. Montana fans should have NOTHING to say about anybody elses defense...

Many teams can hold an option offense to no first downs in the first couple of drives, but few can do that and get quick touchdowns on the other side of the ball.

It's a perfect storm really.

Hodges 8-8 190 yards end of 1. Still a lot of time, but The Citadel will have to lock down defensively and find a way to move the ball.

xlolx I can't comment on a game because the team I cheer for doesn't perform well. Please. As you should know, hoss, I'm a national sports observer. There wasn't smack in that post. Just observation. Keep the butthurt responses directed at others. xlolx

If I'm Citadel I'm not punting in this game. You're already down 28, it can't get much worse and there's a diminishing point of return when it comes to bad losses (Whether you lose 50-20 or 56-20 is pretty inconsequential)

With respect to Samford, this is what you can call an outlier game. It reminds me of when Wofford played App State on Halloween in 2008 (God I sound old). We lost 70-24, but we were definitely a top 10 team, finishing the year 9-3, losing by 10 to South Carolina and 3 to (#1 seed) JMU in the playoffs.

these games happen. One or two mistakes and weaknesses are exploited for a score that doesn't reflect the aggregate strength of either team.

Samford is a great team. Citadel is an unproven good team. The Socon is wide open.

If Samford has anybody that can REMOTELY run the ball....now is the time to dig deep in that Hatcher Playbook and find a running play....otherwise, Citadel will have enough time to climb back into this thing.

No, 1:3 is the number of your guy's that would Tap Shannon Faulkner.

Or possibly your 4th down conversion ratio....that one stung....if Hatcher can run some time. ANY TIME. Ballgame!!!

Don't think the Citadel is going to pull this off. Samford is the better team (at least today). Citadel adjusted and didn't give up, but driving it twice inside the 10 and getting no points will sting, starting 35-0 or not

Yup. O line let us down. Secondary did in the first half. Oh well. We were due. Samford played lights out. I don't like it for them that they sort of let up. I don't think we improved that much.

Like I said earlier we had EVERY opportunity to win this one. Stopped twice inside the samford 15 on 4th down in the second half. I think our men started to believe their own hype. As you know the WORST thing one can say to a The Citadel athlete is that he is good. That chip on his shoulder is NECESSARY to our success...
