Just a cursory look at the various line ups of the teams we play against, we are greatly out-sized on the line.There are teams that have 5-8 boys who weigh well over 300 pounds and heights ranging from 6'3 to 6'6. We simply do not have that kind of size this year. We are often not the biggest team but... -
The defense is worth watching - the offense has to come up with something fast as the Liberty League schedule starts and Ithaca and Union could be ready to pounce. I could not watch much of this last game- not because of our play but the video stream provided kept buffering and became impossible to...Leave a comment:

I'd be interested in knowing how he did in the fight?...Leave a comment:

W21: The defense has been more than solid. They have not only kept us competitive for the first two games, they dominated this weekend. WPI had basically a negative running game. The offense showed considerable signs of life, especially rushing the ball. Still not impressed with our passing game and...Leave a comment:

For the football fans - early line for next weekend against St John Fisher has us as a 12.5 point favorite and the over/under as 38.5-- It appears that the bettors were impressed by the return of an RPI offense this past weekend. Defense has been very solid for all 3 games. I hope the 2 injuries on...Last edited by DrDemento; 09-19-2022, 09:12 AM.Leave a comment:

Video feed has been lost for some time but RPI leads 34-0 and have to apologize to the offense. Really nice showing all around and of course the defense has been stellar. I guess the betting folks had the spread right for this one as we covered the 18.5 points easily.Leave a comment:

W21: we are the exact same page together so far. I cannot fathom why we cannot score. it is not the talent as this team has both passing and rushing offense similar to last year (i do not feel that we have lost much at QB from what little we have seen). But I do question the play calling. Not sure why...Leave a comment:

certainly gives all of these young ladies something to shoot for. They will not be able to take a single game lightly or a night off. I for one, think they will be very competitive and surprise a lot of folks....Leave a comment:

For the football fans - if there still some left after this past week. RPI is listed as an early 18.5 point favorite over Worcester Tech. Not exactly sure why as it is not at all clear that our offense can even score 18+ points. Hopefully the coaches will find away for us to get points on the board...Leave a comment:

No not a relation - will hopefully though have some of the same offensive talents!...Leave a comment:

For the football fans - we played the worst first 58 minutes I have seen in years. But were still in the game because our defense gave up little or nothing. We scored a late TD and had the chance to recover an on side kick (which failed) and the game ended up as a 10-7 loss. We were not grossly outplayed...Leave a comment:

Wish I had better news but it appears that the first game against Montreal scheduled for 9/18 will be broadcast only on ESPN+. Subscription price for that addition is now $9.99 per month. Up until a couple months ago that price was $6.99 and they provided a yearly discount for a full year subscription....Leave a comment:

A bit of football information. RPI is again listed as the underdog for the upcoming weekend by 3.5 points in what is predicted to be a very low scoring game again. Hopefully we can discover some extra offense and improve upon the completion rate we had this past week. But as we showed all of last season,...Leave a comment:

Again, far more agreement on the eventual total games won and lost than on the individual results. I had been hoping for a 20 win season and 12 ECAC wins but with some very different results against a few teams. Actually all I want for this year is for the team to build momentum like we were doing so...Leave a comment:

Sez: Appreciate your exhaustive review. Virtually agree with everything you posted. A short time ago I had looked at the schedule and my first half prediction is not much different but somehow i came up with our totals as 9-8 overall and 4-4 in the ECAC. I believe I felt we could sweep Union as the...Leave a comment:

After looking at the other scores from today, last year will be most difficult to repeat. Union, Hobart and Ithaca looked very impressive. Hope we can develop a more efficient passing game or all 3 of those teams will present great problems. Whether it is a short passing game or some deep threats, the...Leave a comment:

Agree with your opinion. Boring but at least the RPI defense played well enough. The offense will need considerable work if they are to be on top of the Liberty League standings. The first few minutes were the problem as Dickinson scored on a long pass that was tipped into the receiver's hands and...Leave a comment:

According to most betting sources we are about a one point underdog today and expect a low scoring game....Leave a comment:
