Mars Hill, GW's week 1 opponent, got their season off to a good start against N. Greenville. Looks like the Runnin' Bulldogs are going to need to be ready for an offense that will run and pass the ball. Of course, I expect that our D will not allow 400 yds on Saturday like NG did. Really looking forward to Saturday night at Spangler Stadium. Hope to see you there.

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!
