Duquesne

The Flyers host Duquesne at home in their home opener. This will be their toughest game of the year IMHO.

Duquesne lost to Youngstown State last week in a close game. YSU is getting votes for the top 25. The Dukes have an All American RB that will go over 4,000 yards in his career this week. They pass well and their defense is quick.

Everyone thought that the Flyers wouldn't beat Indiana State or Robert Morris and we were on the road. We are at home for family weekend and hopefully a big crowd.

We can score with just about anyone. It is our defense that has been making strides and that must continue this week. Hopefully, we can start getting our hurt guys back.

Let's go 3 and 0 and then start an assault on the PFL!

Go Flyers!

The flyers have to avoid the injuries that have plagued this game in the past.

Exciting game to watch. Good crowd. Not happy with the final score, but it was a back and forth day. Great 97 yard touchdown!!! Thought one of the long passes caught by Duquesne, should have been called offensive pass interference for pushing the defender off.

The flyer offense will give the PFL teams fits!

I think the defense has a lot of potential. I have faith!

The special teams look pretty good.

Defense is lacking. 31 points should win at home. 25 first downs allowed.

So far we are averaging 35.67 points on offense and giving up 33.67. If you had told me we are scoring an average 35+ a game I would think we are undefeated. Likewise tell me we are giving up an average of 33+ a game and I would thing we are winless. It would appear that the offense will have to score a boatload of points to make up for a defense that is less than stout sofar. Tighten up the D and we really have something.

NYFLYERFAN is on a distinguished road
Indiana State had 12 offensive possessions which resulted in 5 scores. Not bad considering ISU is a very good football team. In the Bobby Mo game RMU had 10 offensive possessions, scored 5x and missed 2 FG, so they realistically should have scored points on 7 of 10 possessions. RMU definitely improving under Coach Clark and took advantage of UD giving receivers a 10 yard cushion and threw the ball underneath. Duquesne had 8 offensive possessions, scored 5x, UD blocked a punt and Dukes missed a FG and Dukes final possession was victory formation. That was a poor defensive effort. Duquesne could be best team we play. Time for Flyers to get healthy on defensive side and Offense just keep rolling. Can’t overlook anyone but that USD match up could be game of the year. Let’s go beat up on JU Dolphins first.
