Massey has Holy Cross as a 23 point favorite (37-14) with an 89% chance of victory. In the Massey Ranks Holy Cross is at #9 and the Hoyas are at #117. Georgetown is coming into this week after a 24-21 overtime loss to Bucknell. HC will be their toughest game of the year (with Fordham as their second toughest). They stand at 2-8 with wins over Marist and Lafayette.

Georgetown give up 400 yards a game - 180 on the ground and 220 in the air. My guess is HC will try to pound them on the ground as much as they can. Helps in keeping the ball out of their hands too.
Gtown's QB - 67% completion percentage - which is fantastic. He's thrown 12 picks, but that may be partly because they are behind a lot and has to take chances to make something happen. They throw for 277 per game with 4 receivers with 30 catches or more.
They have a WR with 88 catches on the year. They are going to have to find a way to get pressure because I think we'd all agree the pass defense over against Fordham, Bryant and at times even Lehigh has not been good.
A QB this accurate with these types of weapons doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy based on what I've seen with my eyes lately. I fully expect HC to shut down their run, but the DBs are going to have to make a few plays. Create short fields and just pound them into submission on the ground.

When I have a minute I want to see how they fared offensively against PL competition. I am not worried about our offense vs. their defense. I think we should be able to put points up fine. I think we have a good shot to score 28+ on them, but their QB play and WR do concern me. That being said, I think we have a stronger SoS, so I take that into consideration as well. I'll try to post my tale of the tape later this week.

Rushing is the least of very few worries in this game. Georgetown ranks 118th on the ground and over a quarter of their annual total came in the opener versus Marist.

Need to put this game away by half time 28 plus point lead. That will be enough. The team is banged up and don’t need to play anyone any more than is necessary.

I think a 5 touchdown lead is what used to be a 4 td lead; that is, nearly insurmountable. 5 at the half or 4 at the end of 3. Don't put on the brakes until you've hit those numbers.

We have to score our way to victory against decent teams and we leave only experienced guys playing both sides of the ball to win. I see no reason to think anything will change except injury to Oliver but my guess is Purdy, Fuller, Forrest carry the load. Even Sluka can't get a break.

Ok, here is this week's Tale of the Tape for the Georgetown Hoyas. Unfortunately the NCAA FCS Stats page has not updated team stats for last weekend (I am wondering if the "fumbled stats" from earlier this year were actually on the NCAA's end and not our end. As a result I am missing some defensive and special teams stats. That being said, we are a better team (and things not included such as Red Zone TD % skew heavily in our favor). Surprisingly, some stats are actually pretty close. Georgetown averages more passing yards per game and is not far off in total first downs. They sack the QB at a higher rate than our D and give up fewer sacks. That being said, I think we could have picked apart poor passing defenses such as Lehigh and Bryant but chose to ground and pound instead. Their pass D is not far behind us (or should I phrase it...our pass D is not far ahead of Georgetown). This is why we play games on fields and not on paper. Turnover margin is vastly different and hopefully the Saders catch a few Gtown interceptions and scoop some fumbles. Go Cross.

You’ve heard it before: I want to see Sammy Slade mid third quarter with a half dozen or more carries thereafter Hopefully we can have Forrest, Slade and Rivers rotate in and out to carry the RB load in the second half so that Fuller and Purdy can be rested. An injury to Fuller or Purdy would really make us thin at RB.

I was thinking we should let Georgetown score on each of there first two possessions while also taking a safety on ours. 18-0 Hoyas early. I'm pretty confident we can come back from that and get the W. Will give us the high-pressure reps we need heading into the playoffs, on both sides of the ball. Remember our worst performance came after a 57-0 beatdown of Bucknell and then a bye week.
Just win, baby!

Email it up to HCBC asap, I'm not sure he and the staff are thinking out of the box enough.

My interpretation of Coach-speak: Peter won't start; probably travel; will get in the game if it seems critical; likely it won't get to that point and will be able to sit out, cheer on his teammates and hopefully get another 2 weeks to recover fully.

I had no idea that we played some of the end of the Bryant game without three O line starters. Kudos to the backups.
