We better not go to sleep on these guys. I know it's FCS but they are 10-0, have beat USuck in the same year we lost to them and run the triple option as well or better than anyone(even GT) we have seen. We are ripe to get our butts handed to us.
 
The Citadel is a good football team. We better bring our A-game.
 
I may be one of the few people here who have seen them play in person. Son marches at WCU and I was there for the home game against The Citadel. My observations:

- No, we had better not sleep on them. They are a pretty good team. As good at the triple option as GT? No. Not by a long shot. WCU's defense makes UNC's look like the '85 bears. Still, they can run it and are capable of putting up some points if we aren't ready.

- Offensively I wasn't blown away by them, but they also left points on the field with some bone head plays. Dropped passes and penalties probably hurt them more than anything in the game I watched. Perhaps THEY didn't play to their competition as it appeared at times they were just going through the motions, but I still wasn't blown away.

- On defense, they have nothing to hang with us. Period. We could and should score at will. If the offense gets into turbo mode, they could be in for a world of hurt. If they brain fart, ala the dook and VT games, we could be in for a dog fight.

I will be in the stands tomorrow, so I hope we show up and play like we are capable. If not, my one and only game in Chapel Hill this year will not be fun!
 
is renew still running the ball for them?

i watched him in person run all over scarolina last year...hope he's gone, seriously.
