Should be a good game. JMU has been skirting some very close games Richmond/Delaware, and i think this is the best they have faced and its away from their 27,000 faithful. I hesitantly will take Elon 23-20.

We're allowing 9.6 ppg and that includes trash time scores and non-offensive scores. We just held Kyle Lauletta to 13 points when he was battling his ass off while trying to save their season. No team has scored more than 14 so far on our defense. With the way we're playing, we get to 17 points, we're going to win.

I agree that this will be the closest JMU/Elon game ever, but when the closest game of Elon's CAA tenure has been a 32 point loss, that isn't really saying much.

ECU? hahaha 2 win ECU who is getting beat on average by 30+ points? Delaware has been beating by every good team they have played this year. With the exception of a overtime win at home against Richmond. Couldn't put up a point on VT, and worn out with a garbage time TD late in the 4th at WF. Sorry, not buying it. Again, i do not believe that the CAA is very good this year, JMU is definitely the best team in the country at the moment but think they are vulnerable here.

JMU should win on the strength of their defense. They execute man to man pass coverage more effectively than any FCS team I've seen in recent memory. This also facilitates an effective pass rush by denying quick outlet passes and forcing the QB to take more time to allow receivers to get open. Elon plays an effective 3-3 stack defense and they did a great job of pressuring and containing the QB vs UNH. However unlike JMU, they leave a lot of seams and openings throughout the secondary that UNH was able to exploit. Elon was not able to establish a running game vs UNH so I doubt they will against JMU. JMU's man to man coverage was able to blanket our receivers most of the day so I suspect they will do the same vs Elon. Both UNH and Elon have a solid corps of receivers, it's hard to say, but IMO UNH's are better. Giving Elon a small boost for the home field, and acknowledging that JMU's offense has not seemed nearly as potent as the 2016 team, I'm picking JMU to win by 14.

Terry2889
November 17th, 2017, 02:41 PM
What are we all thinking here? UNH played an awful game against this team and still won by 10. The game was poorly called and managed from a coaching perspective on our side. Our players were clearly superior to Elon's. JMU will win this and cover the spread in my opinion. The magic is over... Sorry Elon, great season though!

This game will not be that close. And regardless of what the computers say, the Delware and ECU games are/were tougher for JMU. FBS is FBS, even a bad one....and Delaware is ultimately better than Elon....even the computer says so, but I don't need a computer to tell me that.

KPSUL
November 17th, 2017, 04:37 PM
I don't think person or computer can definitively say that Delaware is better than Elon. Elon has a good passing game, and other than last weekend, a solid running attack as well. They have big linemen, both defense and offense, no one at the FCS level is going to run over them. Delaware may have the 2nd best defense in the conference, but they are near the bottom in offense. Elon has a balanced team. They probably won't play this season, but I think that Delaware and Elon would be a close and interesting contest.

Things I've noticed so far:

-Elon's defense has been great in the red zone. Two huge stops. Only giving up 3 so far is impressive.

-JMUs offensive line is really good. Schor has had a clean pocket and the inside running game has been a tough one for Elon to stop so far. I think Houston should have rolled out the beef and went for it.

-JMU's defense has been solid. Linebackers fill running lanes. A couple missed one one one tackles. DBs have yet to really be tested.

Indeed. Announcing team is solid too.

Definitely one of my favorite away announcing teams I've heard this year. Most I've heard this year have been super homers or really cut rate. My only nitpick, and it's small as they keep saying "ball at the Duke *insert yard line*". It's Dukes or JMU. I can forgive it though as they are in NC.

Schor scrambles to the one, almost like the QB draw TD. And a Schor TD run from the two. 17-0.

I am ready to call this one.

So why does your handle say "Duke" if it's actually "Dukes"?

This is like Citadel folks chastising people for not putting "the"

We ARE the Dukes, but the mascot is Duke Dog (Dawg). Silly stupid stuff.

So is one individual player a Duke or a Dukes?

i.e. We are the Gamecocks. Roc Thomas is a Gamecock.

I know it's being pedantic. I wouldn't care if there wasn't already a Duke University. Which is hilarious as it's certainly not a university I'd be ashamed of being associated with.

It is my understanding, yes.

Oh so it's not a plural vs. singular thing. It's a "not wanting to be being seen as Blue Devils wannabes" thing.

Blocked punt for a JMU touchdown. Ballgame at 24-0 in the third.

Things were perfectly set up for Elon, with Maine hammering Stony Brook 19-7 late in the third period.

Considering when I was here two years ago for this game, JMU won 63-14 and had its starters out for almost the entire second half, I wasn't expecting it to be close.

forgive us for thinking a 6-1 CAA team playing at home for a shot at a conference title might put up a fight. If only everyone was as smart as you.

Elon is towards the top of the CAA pile this year. Let that settle in for a second. I'll wait. xlolx

No one has scored over 14 points against JMU. JMU is the only team in Division 1 that defense averages under 10 points a game for opposing team. Let that settle in for a while!

Let that settle in for a while!But just wait, if you play Sam Houston! They will put up at least 80 themselves!! Just ask their fans every year in the playoffs...

I fully anticipated we would have a dominant performance like we did today. I wasn't convinced Elon was as good as their record indicated and they were barely winning against far worse teams than UNH or JMU.

The receiver jumped as high as he could and it still just grazed his longest finger tip. Can you catch many balls that are that high above you? The refs got the call right. A flag should've never been thrown to begin with.
