WEEK 1: Maine at New Hampshire (GAME THREAD)

[Blackbear27]

Well according to the PPH Ferguson looked like the most impressive QB of the day and was leading the #1 offense. The next week is going to be real interesting as Coach H has already said he would like to name the starting QB after the next scrimmage.
I thought Ferguson looked very poised last year in the scrimmages. I just expected Staver as a senior to be the leading candidate but like Coach H said we will put the best 11 players on the field regardless of experience. Certainly not looking like the 3 suspended players will be available for UNH, lets just hope this investigation is over quickly and the team can move forward.
Way to go red shirt frosh Hunter Smith catching a TD from true frosh QB Robinson. Truly believe Hunter will make a difference on this team!!!

Hunter Smith won't even play on this team. Unless every receiver goes down. He is not even a D 1 athlete.

Well, first, this is a pretty ignorant comment, unless you want to bring something factual to it? Second, he' s on the roster of a D-1 Football team, so , yeah, he's a D-1 Athlete.

Both of these comments are without thought and I am not sure which is dumber.

In regards to the kicking game: sounds like the plan is to have one guy punt and one guy place-kick. If preseason camp performance is any indication, looks like we'll have Deoul punt and the frosh Doane kick.

Thanks db. As long as the punter can give us 35-40 yds net (some height plz ?) and the kicker can reliably hit from 30 yds (I won't even ask for 35-40), I'll give Coach H. huge creds. for addressing a Dire Need !!!

Equals 1-2 wins a year. IMO.

Ferguson starts Week 1 at New Hampshire.

The key to having any chance of an upset will be the play of Chris Ferguson. Knowing we are with out Micah Wright and Egwuonwu, probably the two of the top players on both sides of the ball , would seem to give the edge to UNH. But the one thing that we can say for any Coach H team is they have been in every game they have taken the field except for Toledo and UNH is no Toledo.

The players will believe in themselves and it will take a huge effort with limited turnovers. If Fergie can play smart football and not do what happened a lot this past year we have a chance. Can't wait to see Mack, Edwards, Reed and the other receivors with Fergie at the helm. Missing only 3 offensive players means these guys know their roles and just need to perform.

The 2ndary is strong on D so as long as we have some QB pressure we should be OK on D. Missing Greene on Ricard is huge but lets see if the new guys are ready to step in.
