Gate'83, my guess is students do not return to campus until today.

Had a great feeling about this game. Everyone touting UNH for winning its last 4, which got them into the tournament: URI? Maine? UAlbany? They have combined records of 7-26. They also lost to 4-7 Delaware (sorry we couldn't put them away this year and exact some revenge). UNH did beat #11 Richmond...and we beat (at the time) #11 Fordham. Despite UNH winning the H2H, still thought we should have hosted. Going through your conference undefeated should have been rewarded, and UNH did not play #15 Navy.

Also had a great feeling b/c this season we were picked to finish 3rd and proved people wrong. An underdog always has a secret advantage.

Impressed by many things:

Melville's growth is tremendous. He was very young and green not long ago and I was skeptical. McCarney left big shoes to fill.

Diversity: Maddaluna, Quazza, Ives, Greenwalt on offense; THREE running backs (this has to be the most impressive, ingenious, effective idea ever), an improving defense with Afriyie, Diener, Field, Castillo, Campbell...and wait until next season with Steffan and Buttermore likely returning, wow. Many freshman names that haven't had a chance to make an impact yet, but our future roster/size looks impressive!

JMU (9-2) will be a daunting task with these stats:
Madison leads the nation in three categories, including total offense (549.7), first downs (313) and third-down conversions (55.3%) while also ranking second in scoring offense (44.8). It also ranks fifth in completion percentage (66.6%), sixth in rushing offense (284.4) and seventh in red-zone offense (90.3%).

However, they have losses to #11 Richmond and #16 W&M. We share a common opponent in Lehigh, which they manhandled 55-17 in week 2. If we stick to our plan with nothing fancy, we could give them a run for their money. Bridgeforth Stadium (cap. 24,877) will be full with home supporters.

Ives had been in some games during the regular season and went pretty much unnoticed except for the coaching staff. At 6'4" it looks like he will be a good addition to the WR position. Also have to keep an eye on corner back Tyler Castillo who played at the top high school level in FL. He had offers from FBS schools. Both are freshman which indicates scholarships have made a difference. I thought the broadcast by ESPN3 was pretty good even with the couple of missed plays. Announced attendance was 3,300. I suspect if the game was in Hamilton, Kerr could have matched that amount. Go 'gate, beat JMU.
