URI receivers helped us out a lot with dropped passes, but I was starting to feel sorry for the Rams. Total domination. Let's hope it carries over to the rest of the season. BDK, time for some research.
Yielded by defense this season:
vs URI 109 yards, 0 points (7 was on kick return) (45 yards came on last possession)
vs Morehead: 182 yards, 7 points.
vs VU 239 yards, 7 points
vs CCSU 224 yards, 14 points (other 7 was pick 6)
Last season 2 best were:
-Morehead: 252 yards, 7 points
-Elon to 289 yards/0 points
Best ever statistically against a CAA? Might be back 04' season. Held Top 5 at the time VU to 91 yards/0 points. But game was literally in a remnants of a hurricane monsoon. VU finished 6-5 & didn't make the playoffs.
Best against a playoff team (regular season or playoffs) prior to yesterday?. Might also be 04' vs Lehigh 1st round/round of 16: 237 yards/13 points.
The defensive performance vs VU had to be one of the best ever against a playoff opponent, regular season or playoffs.
