Game Week: Duquesne

Re: Game Week: Duquesne

Will there be a best guess for the attendance at Thursday evening's game? Will it be an over under of 12,000 or 14,000?

I think a respectable crowd would be in that 12k range...

I'll agree he does look susceptible to putting the ball on the turf. I also agree that most defenders make the mistake of tackling high. Low man wins. I do not think we make those mistakes. He may get a few 8-15 us runs but I don't anticipate he breaks 100. Physically we need to impose our size on them. They will have fight but in most areas they will be giving up a couple inches and 10-20 pounds. Keep the big guys fresh with rotations and win the line of scrimmage.

It's time to get this rolling. Our depth chart is set. However, The Dukes are kind of a ghost. Their social media sucks. Their student newspaper has done two basketball stories over the summer, but zero football, and the Pittsburgh Gazette doesn't know they exist. Finding info has been a challenge but here is what I have.

Looking at Hines' highlights, did it seem to you like he could be vulnerable to fumbling?

I'll go out on a limb and say the Jacks force at least one fumble by him. No doubt he's a powerful runner, but it also seemed like defenders were attempting to tackle him above the waist. Hoping Jacks don't make that mistake and they tackle low.

Thanks again for the blog post. Makes me even antsier for 8/31, particularly if your predicted score is accurate.
