My heart is not ripped out and I don’t think if we are 0-3 next week that the season will spiral out of control. We still have a lot of talent and we still have 9 games left and we don’t have a conference game for 4 more weeks. We have 2 more tune up games an off week and then Wofford. I would like to beat Elon and we have the team that can but it’s not the end of the world if we do not. We got beat by a good team and we played bad after a good showing at NC State.

Campbell’s 6’5” wideout just killed us. or maybe it was the much shorter guy defending him, it look like the guy had at least a foot on our guy

I was concerned after week one that we didn’t have explosiveness at RB and WR like last season. We really miss Dez Reid, Cinsere Lee and Kade Bell. Reid had over 250 yards of total offense yesterday, and is tracking toward All-American status. In addition, Kade Bell was our best recruiter.

That is one of so many reasons that I hate this transfer portal B.S. We can't keep up with bigger or more succesful schools when they get to poach our best players and we have to basically rebuild every year now. I know we picked up players from other schools as well but losing the explosive talent that we lost really hurts and it shows.

I noticed the announcers yesterday mentioned several times the names of multiple players Campbell picked up in the portal from Power Five programs, including the SEC. We haven’t been so fortunate. Hopefully Kade Bell sends us a few good ones from Pitt. He owes us, in my opinion.

The coaches owe it to WCU to “play” the “current” best players “on the field” not their loyalties to certain players or the most senior players and be able to make important game time adjustments!!

One last question: Can someone “splain” to me with 2+ minutes to go and 11 points behind ball at the Campbell 8 yard line on 4th down why we would elect to go for 3. At the 8 you are a heck of lot closer than you would ever be after a possible Campbell punt. My Accounting brain just goes tilt!
