Lafayette

[Info Hound]

I think it just bumped to $11.99 per month.

There is a ton of content.

Edit: wrong that was my Netflix.

Not sure if I'm going to be able to make it to the game. I see it's on ESPN+, is a subscription needed to watch it?

Yes 58 you need to subscribe to ESPN + Which is around $9 a month. I have it and besides Televised benefits you get access to numerous written articles, NFL draft coverage etc

The good news is you can subscribe and then unsuscribe at any time. Sign up and watch the Hens whoop Leopards, enjoy the amenities for a month and then unsuscribe.

Yes, unless you know somebody in South Philly named Scarfo

I believe it’s $9.99 a month

Thanks for the information everyone. I'm still working on the boss to head up to the game with me. Go Hens!

Lafayette seems to have a heckuva running game…wondering if that’s a good thing for UD. The Hens seem to be better equipped to stop the run more than a better throwing team.

Good question
The Lafayette offense is kind of like death by a 1000 cuts meaning methodical passing game dinking for 5 yards, keep moving the chains and suddenly that RB Jamar Curtis breaks out of a logjam and breaks one off … or a WR / TE is wide open for a big play

Defense held Monmouth RB Shirden to 42 yards and looked really good and physical early, it has been mentioned that Lafayettes D hasn’t looked as good late in the season

Looking forward to this one and how the Freshman QB game plan will look. Would really like to see some get the ball in talents hands type of plays with short quick passing game .. use the speed and athletic advantage that we will have. Everyone want Brose involved and with good reason, the stud makes plays.

Make it happen Ralph. Need you here.

RalphD58- tell the wife the touchdown club may cancel future appearances if she does not accompany you to the game! Lol wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving. Wayne Hanby

You guys are killing me! I got a "memory" from Google Photos on this date 16 years ago. It was the Delaware/Delaware State playoff game. We had a good crew that day. I may be able to convince half of them to go...

Thanks for the ESPN+ discussion. It reminded me to cancel my Flo subscription, which was about to renew in three days.

C'mon, Chrissi! Be a pal. Release me from having to resubscribe to that trash in 9 months!

Wow. 26 degrees early Saturday morning. Brrrrrrrrr.

Luckily, game time is 2pm, so there are a couple hours before the 10am tailgate start time. High of 42 degrees, and sunny, so the East stands will feel a bit warmer for most of the game. Sunset at 4:41pm Saturday…just about the end of game time (although the sun will dip below the East stands before that).

Bundle up, Hens fans.

Good news: according to Accuweather, it will be dry with light winds (about 5mph). Won’t have to shovel out your seats.

Good football weather. Bring some warmers (internal and external) for the tailgate. Don’t forget the gloves!

Post-Thanksgiving football in Newark! Woot !

I watched a replay of the Lehigh - Lafayette game after the Thanksgiving festivities. The game was tight deep into the 3rd Q as Lafayette pulled away. They have some good individual talent, but UD has to just take care of business. If the temps are where Cluck says, maybe it's not a bad thing to have Minicucci in to get the ground game going!

[Warrior Hen]

Definitely will need to establish a balance attack. Get the running game going with short passes to our receivers. Our receivers are play makers. Occasionally throw a long pass.

Lafayette does not have an explosive offense but they are patient and slowly moves the ball downfield.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but you can’t help but notice how big and physical Minicucci looks, he can take a hit and is at least viable running the ball.

He is only 6’2, 210. That’s not exactly a big quarterback.

With two quarterbacks already injured, we can not afford to lose another one.
