Well that wasn't pretty, but it got done.
There will be games against bigger names, but if the Blue Devils reach their goal of an NEC championship, this is the game they should look back on. The Blue Devils fought through a rough first half, with the defense making sure the game was there for the taking.
What impressed me most was the way Coach Mac and his staff were willing to stay with what they knew would work eventually. I can already see the Internet buzz that will come tonight and Sunday: 75 rushes in one game is insane. Well, for this team, it isn't.
As Dennis Green would say, the Blue Devils are who they thought they were. But, they didn't let Robert Morris off the hook.
Those who want a high-powered passing attack will likely need to find a new team to root for. You saw the inconsistencies in the CCSU passing game today, though it should be given credit for some huge plays when they were needed. It's not about how many times you come through, it's when.
What you also saw, however, was a team that finds ways to make big plays. Ernie Greywacz saved the day twice on defense, and Central scored when it had to.
Wagner won't be easy next week, but I'll be down there to let you know how it goes.
