Wofford vs. The Citadel

[ASU88]

The big dogs just missed a relatively short FG to let the little dogs keep their 7-0 lead with 4:44 left 1st Qrtr.

[ASU88]

Int. returned 42 yards for a TD for The Citadel!

That was the WRs fault. Hit him right in the numbers and he let it bounce up and get away.

[terrierbob]

The Citadel's D looks better than what we've seen.

[terrierbob]

We look flat.

[ASU88]

We look flat.
Not a lot of fireworks from either side in this one yet.

El Cid does seem a bit more fired up, but they haven't managed to score on offense yet.

[ASU88]

Wofford scores to take the lead back, 14-7.

Simple option toss goes the distance.

El Cid had played that option pretty well to that point.

[boonegoon]

Just a question. Aren't some of the options that Wofford runs actually forward passes. I noticed against App but I don't know what the protecton is. Does anyone know if Wofford runs a screen pass type of blocking to prevent the illegal forward pass thing. Just wondering

[ASU88]

Wofford driving again. It's early, but it looks like they will maintain the inside track in the conference.

They seem to be wearing El Cid down.

[ISUMatt]

i see 21-7 WOF...cool i get it on DirecTV

[ASU88]

Wofford looks VERY good. I don't think they came out with their best today and they are still whipping a good Citadel team easily.

28-7 with less than 4 min. left.

[WoCoTerrier]

Final score 28-7 Wofford.

[ASUG8]

I think Citadel was the last hurdle for the Terriers to clear to win the SoCon - unless we get lucky and GSU takes them out, they're on their way. They are unquestionably the real deal, dispatching us, FU, and THE Citadel handily. Congrats Terriers!

[Cleets]

Wow..!!!!

[AlphaSigMD]

I'd love another shot at them in the playoffs.

not likely, after we beat y'all if you make the playoffs, gonna have to hit the road.

[Black and Gold Express]

Citdog, hate to say I told ya so, but I did. That game went about as I thought it might. Wish you woulda proved me wrong, but someone else is going to have to pull an upset to hang a loss on Wofford. They should be favorites in the rest of their regular season games.

[ASUG8]

I think I read some of the same comments from you earlier this week about Woff......

I won't make any predictions on ASU/Citadel - we'll just let it get settled on the field.

[CamelCityAppFan]

Not gonna happen. I think App & Wof will both win out...and the I-AA gods that bracket the playoff teams will want playoff games in Boone. It might be unfair, but teams' recent playoff appearances and performance will be taken into the bracket consideration.

i don't think so, I like our chances the rest of the way. I dislike Wofford. I despise VMI. I HATE FURMAN. Hear that OL FU?

[Eyes of Old Main]

I dislike Wofford.

That's OK, citdog, we LOVE you guys.

yeah i know

To AlphaSigMD

I definitely believe the Playoff Committee would want a rematch of App and Wofford.

I predict the final 4 will be Appy, Wofford, UNI, James Madison.

We will be a higher seed than App, but because of history, attendance and money we would have to go to Kidd-Brewer. That is just life. Ya'll would pack 23-24 k people and all we can hold in Gibbs with the banks and extra stands would be max at 13,500-14,000.

So I believe your wish will come true

holla back

Peace

[chattanoogamocs]

Sorry this is a bit off topic...

So I watched the game and I noticed the jerseys just say CITADEL (not THE Citadel).

Hey Citdog, I think you need to "fixed it" on those unis. ;)

Assuming Wofford gets the autobid (no guarantee on that this early, but for the sake of argument), that would probably mean they are 10-1 or 9-2. If they are 10-1, they will get a seed, 9-2 probably not. Either way, there will not be two seeds from the SoCon. In that case, they'd play in Gibbs if they meet again. If neither team is seed (or if Appalachian wins the autobid and Wofford is in as an at-large) then they'll play in Boone due to money concerns because there is no way Wofford out bids App for the game.

Actually, I think a rematch between another SoCon foe is more likely (The Citadel, Furman or Georgia Southern) and would probably happen in Spartanburg. If 3 or 4 from the SoCon get in, then rematches will be very likely in the quarter and semi-finals. I think the committee would load all the teams on one side of the bracket to avoid all possibility of an all-SoCon finals.

[Eyes of Old Main]

Maybe they should go back to the Western Carolina knock-off helmets that said "The Dogs".

Then again, Western should go back to the original style "The Cats" helmets instead of the ones they currently have.

My guess is that since Woff and App will not meet until the second or possibly even 3rd round, the location is up in the air.. Currently, in spite of Woff's win over App, App is ranked higher than Wofford. If that continues, the game could be in Boone just as easily as in Gibbs.

App has to win out to avoid getting placed in some way out in bumfizzle out west location or something similar.
No matter what, the SoCon could at best get 3 teams in. Too much stereotyping and bias to allow us more than 3 at most.xeyebrowx

BTW, if Jerry Richardson writes a big check, Woff could outbid anybody!
Too, though, it is rare that the committee places a team at the same venue the two teams played in earlier in the season.

[Eyes of Old Main]

If both Wofford and Appalachian won out, one or both would be in line for seeds. I'd be curious to see how they could give App a seed over a team that beat them and won the conference outright. But stranger things have happened.

Unless Wofford is seeded, I doubt they get more than one home game. Too much money differential comes into play. App's been averaging over 25K and Wofford would probably only bring in 11-12K. No way the NCAA leaves than much money on the table (unless they have to).
