That Harvard score may hurt our ranking But should be more than offset by what Buffalo has been doing.

The pandemic kicked the snot out of Georgetown Football. They were 5-6 in both 2018 and 2019 but haven't been able to find traction since resuming play. Head Coach Rob Sgarlata has been a Hoya for thirty of the last 32 years as either a player or coach. Has he overachieved or underachieved?? How can you judge, are there any other "Lone Ranger" non-scholarship teams in an otherwise all scholarship football league? Agreed--the recruiting has been down since the COVID year. Since 2019, Georgetown is a combined 3-14, and most games this year haven't been close. And it could get much worse. Think about this--in 2022, 10 of Georgetown's starters on offense are seniors or fifth years. Georgetown could literally have one starter returning on offense (a lineman) to go with a defense allowing 47.8 points per game in its last five. With four games left, Sgarlata's record (24-59) now approaches his predecessor, Kevin Kelly (23-64). Maybe it's not the coaching.

I wonder if UNH wins out, does the CAA get Elon, W&M, and Delaware in as at-larges? That would hurt Fordham's chances as an at-large Fordham’s problem, IMHO is strength of schedule. It’s tough to be an at-large without any quality wins. Their best win, at this point, is Monmouth (currently in 9th place in the CAA). I’m sure their coaches know the stakes in the game v us. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see 4 CAA teams in the playoffs.

If Fordham beats us and we are both 10-1 we both get in and CAA gets 3 or another team gets left out that is why rankings matter each week leading into the final standings

[/quote]It wouldn’t surprise me to see 4 CAA teams in the playoffs. [/quote] I agrre. I think the strength of schedule for all of the contending teams in the CAA have stronger schedules than Fordham even UNH.
Let's hope if Fordhams's coaches know the importance of this game, they up the pressure and it is too much for them. Or they just get too confident watching the Lafayette tape.

BTW Laffy has the best shot in the PL to slow down Fordham based on their week to week improvement We are the only team that should beat them on paper

3 penalties on Sac State's opening drive, block in the back, false start, and an offensive PI. Still they mixed in some awesome plays including by Scattebo. They seem to be using 2 QB's: O'Hara and Dunniway. Love the emerald helmets and gold facemasks. I think they have white helmets as well. Their numerals might be the same font as HC's. Endzones are painted old gold, which I find pretty rare. Short passes seem to be gashing Montana right now but they finally held at the Montana 42.
The Montana QB is in his 7th season. 4 at GT, 2 at San Diego St, now at Montana.

HC with the shoutout on the ESPN2 broadcast of Sac State. Surprisingly didn't mention the score, only our 7-0 start.
#7 Montana leads 10-7 at the half.

Sac State beat Montana in OT 31-24. What a game! I went to bed at the half and just watched the highlights. The Hornets offense is for real.
Montana State beating Weber St puts Sac State at 7-0 in the driver seat in the Big Sky. Massey has Sac State at 1 and I am sure the polls will put them 2 behind SDSU. Can't look past Idaho next week.
Let's focus on HC winning out and see what happens!

Weber- Montana State game: FOUR times the Weber State long snapper sent the ball over the punter's head and through the end zone for safeties.

"Amazing" does not do justice to this video. Was this the regular long snapper, or someone pressed into service with the starter out of commission? I don't know how the coach left the snapper in after the second safety-surely he should have been replaced.

The coach asked in the stands if there was a student who could snap. No reply.

Around the 2nd or 3rd, try something else
"A legal snap is handing or passing it backward from its position on the ground with a quick and continuous backward motion of the hand or hands and actually leaving the hand or hands in this motion. The snap need not to be between the snapper's legs."

What we have not mentioned yet, but was evident in the video, is how many times Weber was backed up close to the goal line!

Some of those snaps looked like he was snapping it as hard and far as possible. Feel bad for the kid, those were comical.

I guess that passing the ball backwards, through your legs, while bent upside down is as hard as it looks!

What we have not mentioned yet, but was evident in the video, is how many times Weber was backed up close to the goal line! When Pedone and HC ran the swinging gate formation on a handful of plays down the stretch in '09, I recall a back or wideout shoveled the ball back to Dominic. Not sure how hard it would be to execute a 14 yard snap with a two-hand shovel. Probably more difficult than through legs if I were to guess...but I've never tried it.

The swinging gate could be great for a screen. I remember in high school a variation with the QB under center getting a quick screen off to the WR behind the lineman. I vaguely remember it at HC. Did we try it at 'Nova?

Surprised that in a pinch I've never seen anyone try a t formation snap followed by a bullet pass (backwards, of course) to the punter. Would seem to do the trick when desperate measures are called for.
Weber State's backup long snapper must really suck if they gave the starter that many chances to get his head screwed on straight.

Did we try it at 'Nova? Definitely against Lafayette and I believe at least one opponent a week or 2 prior. We didn't use it against Nova.
