RPI 2022-23: Return of the Schmidt and the Fans

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 but we shot ourselves in the foot several times on offense taking penalties when we had a good offensive play or made a first down. And we had a field goal attempt blocked. So far it appears we have little or no offense and a very decent defense which we may need later this season as it appears Union knows how to score!

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 soon as Hobart, Ithaca and Union await later in the season and all of those teams have demonstrated that they can indeed score!

If nothing else, it would be nice to retain the Transit Trophy, to go back into RPI's trophy case along with the Dutchman's Shoes and the Shot Glass. (I assume the Shot Glass is still in Troy, even though RPI hasn't played the Coast Guard since 2005.)

WPI pounded the daylights out of Worcester State in their opening game, 58-21, but the next week in their home opener they were shut out, 24-0, by Endicott.

Worcester State is the team that Union rang up 76 points on last weekend, while Endicott is the team RPI defeated in last year's first-round NCAA playoff game. My guess is the oddsmakers are completely discounting WPI's win over Worcester State, and are basing their prediction on WPI's and RPI's respective results against Endicott, even though they took place in different seasons.

I'm no more sure than you are that RPI's offense has the ability to score 18 points, but maybe the defense can produce a couple of pick-sixes.

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 but the sequence of plays just is not like last year and there has been a bit less faking and trick play calling. We just seem far more predictable. Also, not sure the range of our kicking game as we have only tried one FG and that one was blocked. Hope we can get things rolling because we have some serious competition again this year and the conference schedule will be a tough one to crack.
