Looks like the Bears O is a little bigger than the Bellhops O - not surprising given they run the option.
Bears are also a little bigger overall. Not enough, IMO, to make much of a difference at all. Size will not matter in this game. EXECUTION WILL...A LOT!!!

Looks like it might be a little wet on Saturday and they still have natural grass right?
Really not sure how this game is going to play out. They were down to ETSU for most of the game, but were able to come back in the fourth. Samford was able to jump out ahead and then just coast to a victory.
I think the only thing is that we can't get behind 14+ like we did last year.

...that's not great news for the Team that wants to pass the most...and after what Sammy did to the LuggageToters in the 1st quarter last week, I would think that would be ANY Team playing against CIT. On the other hand, slippery balls don't pitch & catch too well either...so...STOP THE DIVE & THE QB...MAKE 'EM PITCH IT. Yes...coming back to take the lead from being 18 down...in the 1st quarter was quite the accomplishment... 1st 05:46 CIT - Reggie Williams 29 yd run (Cody Clark kick ), 5 plays, 75 yards, 21 3
...but then to lose the lead at the end was such a heartbreak... 4th 02:20 CIT - Cody Clark 35 yd field goal 15 plays, 65 yards, 24 23The Defense is better this year though...If they can make some plays (force T/O's) and the O doesn't put them in short-field purgatory, the likelihood of a positive outcome will be greatly enhanced. |

Man, Mercer Football is using #BeatTheCitadel this week. They missed a golden opportunity to use #BeatCitadel and leave out the "The" on purpose...  |

Great win. Great job by the defense. Another 4 turnovers and only gave up 2 scores. Nice to finally get a win over those guys.
