Towson leading LSU. In Louisiana.

Also, watching the Ga State-W&M game. Both QBs float the ball to the WRs. It's amazing seeing the difference in quality between that game and watching Heinicke play.

I don't mind talking to myself--Towson now trailing 17-9, almost halftime. The big boy schools will usually wear the FCS team down as the game grinds on.

Towson driving---inside the LSU 40, still down 8.

Meanwhile, Ga State now has 6 turnovers and now down 28-3.

Terrence West is going to flatten our defense if we learn to tackle and stay in our assignments.

Villanova's RB ran for 192 yards vs. Maine today and they had 2 others with more than 50 yards.

Richmond averaged 2.2 ypc today and no one went over 24 yards total.

So you think our defensive woes are over? Richmond doesn't have a Terrence West caliber runner.

I didn't say that. But the run defense *did* play better today, and that's good.

Personally, I have been trying to keep up with C-USA teams. The CAA teams, not so much. ODU is of course the exception.

While I understand the sentiment, this year we're playing a CAA schedule and hoping for an FCS playoff bid and the results of other teams in the CAA are meaningful to that.

While I can't wait for what's coming, the results of ECU, Marshall, and UTEP have little bearing on ODU this season.

Richmond trailed the entire game and was forced to rely on the pass.

Sure, I'm aware of that. But when they ran it, they didn't get much. Against a defense playing the pass. At least we weren't gashed by the pass and the run.

Towson vs JMU on NBC sports next week should be a great game.

Wow I am so glad I got tickets to the away Towson game as my one game of the year
