We are 1-4, playing two upperclassmen that wouldn't have gotten reps on the scout team on any HC team in the 21st century.
I apologize if that is harsh, but that is a reality. Wade/Clifford have not been properly coached to go through a read progression and lack fundamentals of a quarterback at the high school level. Against Dartmouth, Wade went 4-9, 7 yards, 3 INTS in the FIRST HALF. That has to be the WORST STAT line in the history of college football.

Agree at some point very soon it's time to let a young QB get some burn out there.
But Wade looked like a competent PL QB for a stretch in 2016, not to mention Yale game. What happened?

Well, I would be so pumped if I was a Safety for UNH.... Basically just read Wade's eyes and shoot for National Defensive Player of the Week

Can you imagine being 4-9, 7 yards, 3 INTS in the first half and actually playing in the second half? Like, what do you have to do on this team to get benched? I just don't get it.

Wade's complete statistics from the Bucknell game 18-32 with ZERO interceptions, for 265 net yards passing.

Wade still lost to one of the worst teams in the FCS last week (Bucknell). He is a senior and has no future. The end. You can still give him some reps, but should have an underclassmen or Bell ready to go.

I like Bell as an athlete and certainly as a receiver. Why on earth would anyone want to take him out of a spot where he can contribute and put him in one where his record seems to show he cannot? Different (at QB) does not always mean better.

Different (at QB) does not always mean better. Again, if they were to utilize Bell, it would be for a run-centric, simple RPO system. Bell is not a pocket passer and the OC would have to create a simple, modified game plan if they wanted to go that direction. If they want to stick with Wade and not change the offense, I would have a freshmen or sophomore at #2. That means Degenhardt, Nagle, or the freshmen. There has to be one person on this team that can complete a basic read progression and throw the ball atleast 20 yards. Is that too much?

rgs318 What changes would you make going into UNH? At 1-4, would you make any changes or leave it status quo?

Different (at QB) does not always mean better. I don't totally disagree. However, if we are to believe that Blaise Bell is one of the best football players on the team (who would disagree with that?), then it is inexcusable he has touched the ball just 19 times all season (18 receptions, 1 rush). Find a way to get the damn ball into his hands. For an offensive coordinator who likes to run the ball as much as Spread 'Em and Shred 'Em, I am mystified we don't see more misdirection in the running game, along with looking to get the ball into Blaise's hands.

rgs318 What changes would you make going into UNH? At 1-4, would you make any changes or leave it status quo? Since you asked...at this point with my limited game planning, I would see the main task at driving individuals in fundamentals. Holding a block, completing assignments, making an effective tackle can all be improved. I don't see this as a time for grand new strategies or. major shifts...just learning to do the basic tasks required of each player, to do them better than has (for some) been the case, and to continue to become more comfortable with teammates' strengths and weaknesses.

GO 'SADERS

If we're going into this game with the same offensive strategy I suggest we just start lining up in Package Princeton on 3rd down...

Good ole "Package Princeton aka John O'Neill pouch punting the ball from a Shotgun formation"... hahahah. With the way the current offense is playing, might as well punt it on first down anytime we aren't in the right side of the 50 and give the defense/special teams an opportunity to score points. If you don't make some type of major change in offensive strategy or the two deep, we are going to get absolutely destroyed by UNH.

UNH is reeling too....starting QB has been out all year, probably out Saturday from what I've heard.
That said, they still have CAA-type talent, will be at home and looking to make up for our win last year at Fitton.
Tipping my pick 'em pick I suppose, but barring a lot of turnovahs, mistakes on their side etc...I expect the Wildcats to prevail but not in a blow-out. Dartmouth is probably going to be the best FCS team we'll play this year imo.

We’d should get massacred on Saturday so we’ll probably win.

Sitting at 0-4 now and eyeballing a very strong SBU team next week, UNH knows they've got to win Saturday or they're likely going 0-6. 0-6 guarantees their first losing season in more than 11 years (that is as far back as I can easily look).I can't imagine they'll take us lightly.
Beyond SBU, UNH has Villanova, JMU, and Albany (who beat UNH last year) looming on their schedule.

#2 QB for UNH is out w/a concussion so it will either be Knight if he's cleared or their #3 guy who is a transfer from the Iowa Hawkeyes.

You have to understand as fans we’ve just assumed we’re going to go out every year win games and go to the playoffs. This has been a shocking beginning for a team that has only known success for the past 14 years. But we all knew the streak would end sometime.

Don’t be surprised if you a true freshman out of Central Catholic take some snaps by the name of Bret Edwards. He’s looked at as our starter next year and might get some reps on Sat.

Thanks for the insight, unhfan. I am afraid that in recent years, HC has been too kind an opponent to inexperienced QBs. Hopefully, if we do see him it will be because HC has put the game out of reach.

White jerseys with purple numbers . . . . . it's a road game.

Now, ya see, I am a huge believer that the color of uniforms should be the color of the school. In our case, for the 100th time, that is royal purple. Not black. Not Gray. Not "purple & white" - just royal purple. I have no problem with offsetting accent colors, like white or even black. BTW, the team was not wearing the usual/traditional purple jersey with white pants vs. Bucknell. Instead wearing purple jerseys and pants . . . . and that's why they lost so badly. Now, would you like to hear my views on the Crusader mascot? FWIW, the Silver Fox bus formerly "wrapped" with the Crusader logo has been changed to the shield with "HC" on it according to a very reliable source who sent me a picture.
