RE: Game Thread ODU vs. App State ESPN3
App destroyed our young O-line, making Washington scramble and take a lot of hits. Bentley is rather limited with mobility, so the sacks would have piled up. Some teams just don't match up too well with others, and App is a team for which we have few answers. Throw in the coaching decisions made because we have no serviceable FG kicker, and a game that could have been much closer never was. Congrats on the win, both this and last year. Your team clearly is ahead of ours. You guys have a really solid squad.

Best of luck to ODU in the coming years, appreciate you guys for the most part being classy and not underestimating us because of a conference titles old association. I'm sure you will find you way up in the G5, hopefully schedule a H&H again sometime.

Now that I can not have to worry about ODU for a few years, I hope that Wilder understands that this team as a whole isn't ready to win the conference this year and shows a vote of confidence in Bentley. He needs the live reps and starting a senior who really should be at receiver (based on what I saw today) will not benefit anyone in the program.

Nope. We can still get to a bowl this season and DW gives us the best chance to win. Especially in situations like today where our o-line was overmatched.

He could've checked down or sent Lawry to vacate the spot left by the blitz and been fine. I just don't trust the arm of the QB I saw yesterday and against good defenses his athleticism won't bail him out. Maybe Shuler will come in a changed player next season.

What you had today was not a game manager type, not a play maker type and he can't really spin the ball. I know Bentley has a strong arm so while you all are still adjusting, he may as well start. A lot of throws that were dropped today could've been completed had the QB threw them on a rope.

DW had an awful game, but he can throw the ball. He probably has a better arm than any QB we've ever had. I've seen him flick his wrist and throw the ball 50+ yards. Saturday was more so him being uncomfortable in the pocket and not setting his feet. It's the worst he's looked as a QB for us.
