Let's see that swagger boys...Go Gennies

With Sitterson/Paciccio/Ward out last week W&L's offense was severely hampered...not to mention a banged up D-Line which got run all over (even healthy they are still the Gennies glaring weakness)...alot of young guys were forced to step up in a place that I found quite tough to play at on the road.  Neutral site and a healthy squad, I give the nod to the Generals this year.  From what I hear Sitterson should be back in full strength next week versus Emory.  Generals by 2 TD's.

"Bangwell,"

Welcome to the board!  Glad more gennies are coming out (that was for you, wrighthall220).

Anyway, yes, I think what W&L has done thus far has been impressive.  Had it not been for the F&M hiccup, I'm sure you'd be getting more national attention at 7-0 with a defense playing as well as it has.  It seems like the offense gets better every game.

I wouldn't say, however, that there is mutual hate.  Seems a bit harsh.  I have no problem with any W&L people ... it was a pleasure to meet Forma80 last year, and I hope to meet a couple more of you all this weekend.

Everything seems to be in W&L's favor.  Six-straight losses to the Eagles (some VERY close), BC on an uncommon two-game skid, the Generals in the drivers seat for the ODAC crown.  Should be interesting to see how the Eagles react.  I know W&L will be pumped!

Apologies...perhaps I was a little harsh  ...Forma and I played together and lets just say on the field "there will be no love lost"...I look forward to a hard hitting dogfight out there. Trust me, there is no team in the ODAC the gennies want more than the Eagles and im sure the Eagles know this and will be ready.  I sure wish I could make it up there to see this one...

It's going to be awfully tough for Bridgewater and/or Emory & Henry to beat Washington & Lee.  Since the F&M loss to begin the season, their numbers have been staggering...

• W&L has held opponents to 6.8 ppg, and a combined 13 points in the first half
• Their defense has forced 20 turnovers while their offense has committed only 4
• They've scored at least three TDs in every game
• Jack Martin (WR) has four TDs in the last two games for an average of 35.5 yards per reception
• Their freshman QB has completed 63% of his passes

When you have that kind of defense, consistency and big play ability ... you deserve being conference champions.

"You said it mon..."

Gentlemen, BEWARE...The Gennies have that swagger baby...anyone who saw that ruckus up in Lexington knows it too.  Have heard some mention but clearly not enough of what the Generals D did to the nations top passing offense and to the formerly almighty Vogelbach (25-56, 3 picks, 218yds - very surprised to see he even had that)...after that opening drive it was all Generals.  Micah Rushing showed some wheels both running the ball and catching it out of the backfield but the Quakers clearly relied too heavily on their downfield passing game against a Gennies secondary that is straight NASTY (They only gave Rushing 9 carries out of the backfield in which he did pick up 69 yards - and looked good doing it...).  Meanwhile Coach Bert O'Neill and company are putting up sick numbers...With a healthy Sitterson back next week, a freshman QB that has the poise and ability (did anyone see how pretty that ball was on Martin's 2nd TD grab??) to haunt the ODAC for years, Jack Martin, and COLTON WARD (289 all purpose yds!) watch out....this is gonna be a BATTLE next week against Bridgewater and W&L has plenty of favors to return - mutual HATE. I LOVE it...
