Citadel is 2-5/1-3, having lost 3 SoCon games in a row (ETSU, FU, WCU), but they started their SoCon season by defeating a VMI Team (35-24) that romped all over Mercer (45-7) just 2 weeks ago…in Macon…without 2 of their best Offensive Players.
As down as these bullpups are, they will not roll over & play dead for the Bears. At this point in the season, they know almost all of their goals will go unfulfilled, so they, particularly their Sr’s., will be playing loose, taking risks, and not worrying about their Coaches yelling at them…or spending 2 weeks mostly whining about kickoff times or SoCon Officials making correct calls against the bellhops - just a few of their HC’s specialties.
This is another MUST-WIN game for Mercer. The Bears need to take care of business in ChuckTown, get to the bye week…and get ready to release their “November Surprise” on the SoCon & the rest of FCS Football in the final 2 weeks of the season. But the SamsonsiteSlingers must be vanquished 1st.
More to come …

Here’s a link to a Citadel Sports show. Citadel Gray LineThey don’t talk about Football until 23:00 into the hour-long show. They talk, reluctantly, about getting whipped by winless WCU last week. Then, at about 30:00, they talk about firing the Head Football Coach. The bellhops’ beat writer says CIT has a 50/50 shot at beating Mercer because CIT beat VMI. He also says CIT’s O has become too easy to defend. WCU used a “Snakeye” Linebacker scheme to shut them down. Basically, take a Safety out of formation & position a FAST LB about 7 yards deep over the Center. That makes him difficult to get to by the CIT OLmen. At the snap, this guy is a “Spy” on the QB - goes the direction the QB goes & that is his assignment (tackle the QB) on the triple option. Bobby Johnson used this to shut down the bellhops & ratdogs (Wofford) when he was at Furman. Beat writer also says CIT’s starting QB (who is a very good & tough runner - now exp’d) & their All SoCon / SoCon DPOY LB are questionable for Sat. Neither finished the game vs. WCU.
