My Take:
Wow... we've got a tale of two offenses here folks. They aren't even top 100 in all major offensive categories except for having a top 70 rushing offense. Easily will be the difference in the game.
That's helpful too because I didn't realize until digging into these stats that the nerd defense is as good as they are. Top 25 in every defensive category. The 2nd best pass D in the CAA after yours truly.
CAA opponents have been SB (28.7 ppg), Elon (22.2 ppg), and UD (19 ppg), compared to our 39.8 PPG. Our offense is at a productivity level noticeably higher than the CAA teams WM has played so far.
I think this has the making of a "check your expectations" kind of week because WM still has a pretty good defense. This will be just like all of our prior CAA opponents to date. All defense and no offense. The Dukes should roll easily but expect the pitch forks to come out if it's not at least a 35 point win.
Tickets are still available folks through JMU and through WM. Lets turn the nerds' library atmosphere into another home game for the Dukes.
