Pre - game jitters

Here is it - an hour and 45 minutes before kick-off. My first blog - ever - so I'm a little nervous right now - but some good fried chicken from the CAF and a couple of chocolate chip cookies should take care of that.

I'm excited about tonight's game - we showed flashes of potential last week against Bellhaven but there were a lot of mistakes that need to be eliminated. Hopefully, this week's practice took care of that.

We really were strong offensively against Harding last year - almost 600 yards of total offense but 6 turnovers and 9 penalties really put our defense in a tough spot throughout the game. If we can tighten up our ball security tonight, our chances will go up dramatically.

Deion looked pretty sharp for the first game out - he found his recievers and they showed good hands most of the night - very few dropped passes. Not as much running against Bellhaven as we might need against conference opponents. We'll see if we can do some pounding when it counts tonight.

I'll be back in a while. Let us know what you think about the blog - anything you might want mentioned that isn't.
