This was a game I had circled on the calendar when the schedule was released. Instead have to attend a civil union ceremony for a friend who I previously thought was straight, but it turns out prefers jousting, apple jelly & renaissance fairs and so schedules weddings for unacceptable fall weekends.
But anyways I doubt we'll know about the QB situation until at least Weds night after the KCK show.
Forecast for Saturday (at least at this point) is 70s and sunny, so weather shouldn't have any impact either way.
UD has gained some confidence from the DSU game, but is not so far removed from embarrassments versus West Chester and Navy, and frankly EWU to feel they can walk through this game. I expect we should be at an absolute emotional fever pitch given that it's the first real game of the season, and that we need to puff out our chest against what is going to be a newcomer, but future big time player in the conference.
I agree with the analysis that I think ODU's offense, at least their passing game, should be able to hold their own against UD, and likely have some success. If ODU scores 14 or fewer I'd be shocked, and very impressed with our defensive performance.
I expect UD to prevail in the end by maybe 7-10 points as a result of a strong effort running the football and controlling the pace of the game. But I think ODU will definitely come to play, be fired up, and set themselves in motion for a very nice and respectable first season in the CAA.
Welcome aboard (officially!!) to the ODU Monarchs!
