The transitive application in math seems reasonable here for its application except for our 6 hour bus ride on Friday afternoon plus we are unable to pass the ball like VMI.Our defensive backfield is terribly vulnerable with inexperience which Rucker may be salivating over while looking at our game films.

All true. I'm guessing he won't be as accurate on the run or on his ass.
 
We both have played Lehigh too. We went down 21-14, while the Bison went down 41-24. Gave up 494 yds to Lehigh, Spids gave up 298. Bucknell has not played an FCS defense close to the Spiders. Pretty much a one trick pony - pass coupled with a very soft defense.

Very much like our chances.
 
So on paper this looks like a game we should win. The VMI and Lehigh common opponent comparisons would indicate this. But the game is played on a field and not on paper. And the offense needs to put up points and not struggle again.

This will be our fifth game of the season and second in Patriot League. This game should give us a better idea of where we stand in that league (at least for this year).
 
Why do these press conferences never have a mic on the person asking the question? I feel like I am playing Jeopardy.
Agree wholeheartedly! Also need to either introduce the player, or put a graphic with their name and position on the video.

Ha! Several times I’ve had to go to the roster and find the player using the roster photos.

Go Spiders!

Glad to know it isn’t just me. I guess they are trying to drive traffic to the website. /s
