This is a should-win for the Beacons. Stetson has had some surprisingly close scores despite their record. They took a commit and two of our guys in the portal last year so hope we take care of business.
Planning to be there. Let me know if anyone else is.
National air stoppage. Do we know if the Beacons got there?
Our last game at Stetson was cancelled because of a hurricane. Probably would have won that year, too. Hope we don't see something similar this season.
Flight out today was canceled. Team back on campus hoping to get a flight out in the am. Stay tuned…
Based on what the government is currently saying I doubt very seriously that the game will take place.
Any word on whether or not the team was able to leave this morning?
In air game at 3:30. Going straight from plane to field. Hope the kids aren’t too jetlagged. That’s a crazy day from someone whose done flight games before
Anyone watching the game? Link doesn’t work and can’t find it on their YouTube account
Very annoying, pretty basic stuff. Went to see if their fan board had anything to say and I can’t even find a board
Reporting from the visiting grand stand at halftime:
Quite a few valpo fans here, more than I expected.
Stetson has some talent on offense. They appear to be playing their QB2, who is mobile and runs the option much more than their QB1, who appears to be a pocket passer judging by the box scores. Not sure how much we've been able to game plan for him. He's beat us with his legs on a few plays. Stetson has some talent on offense.
But the only two words I can use to describe their defensive unit are "undersized" and "porous". We've moved the football quite well on 3rd and 4th.
Keefe's interception in the end zone was sort of a flukey deflection but there were several green jerseys in the area, and Keefe seems unafraid to throw it into coverage.
We need to clean up the penalties but aside from that it feels like Stetson has only hung around with a few lucky breaks, although again, judging by their box scores, perhaps that's a common theme for them.
Feeling pretty good about things, let's hope we can pull away here in the second half.
Scona with a 28 yarder to win it.
I don't know what kind of Shane Beamer voodoo Stetson has going for them because those flukey plays continued in the second half.
They made the baffling decision to go for it on 4th and 3 from the Valpo 17 with the score tied late. We blew up the option they tried and marched down the field to win it.
5-5 record. Quite the improvement over last season. One more to make it a winning season. Great job Beacons!
