A good gut check win. I'll take it. I'm still not sure if we're the team that led NC State going into the fourth quarter or the team that laid an egg at home against the Campbell Fighting Soups, but this is a step in the right direction.

They did play with a lot of heart so big congratulations are in order. I never thought we could make that comeback but they managed to hang in and Elon made enough mistakes to keep us around. There are still lots of problems but for now we can enjoy a needed win.

That’s a great question. I had not thought of that. Elon has posted some clips like the goal line stop but WCU has not posted any You are probably right then because it is Flosports.

Bell calls the offense this week at practice and we can compete with Montana. If not, we get trucked.

ETSU come to Elon next week. That should be a measuring stick for us.

The long ride home to Cullowhee will be much nicer with the win.

The SoCon is going to be interesting. Mercer beats Chatty on the road. Wofford played well in a loss to a good William and Mary team. ETSU is obviously a pretty good football team - tough loss so will be interesting to see how they come out against this same Elon team. Citadel is still a bit unknown but they are much better than last season.
Then you have us, Furman, and Samford who were picked top-half and not looking great. Furple got a 48-7 win today, but they really looked pretty bad most of the first half.
We all kind of expected to probably be 2-2 in OOC play. We looked great in week 1, awful at home in week 2, and then gritty to steal a win in week 3.
We’ll have to play at least this good on D and find some of the historic Kerwin Bell O to compete next week. But I can’t be more happy for the team to fight like this and pull out a ranked win after last weekend’s performance. An ugly win beats a pretty loss every single time!

Really like the way the defense is playing right now. A HUGE step up from where we have been!
Offensively, I'm very concerned. Play calling is suspect at times, and the drives just seem to stall out. I like playing fast, but sometimes, the pace of the play calling is outpacing the situation. Don't love the goal line call on 3rd down in the fourth quarter when I thought we might have scored a TD on 2nd down. But we went so fast, there was no time to see if we actually scored. Then stopped on both 3rd and 4th down 🤦
Very proud of the bounce back win tonight! Hope we can have a great week, and even better game next Saturday at Montana....Go Cats!
