Thanks for the link Coffee. I'd be happy with that score. Just don't want see a 70-7 score. Hoping the Dukes can create a few turnovers and take care of the ball themselves.

The line currently between 42 and 49.5.   Some betting advise sites say take the Dukes and the points.  Hope so!

Agreed… he looked very careless on the fumbled punt (after a nice stop) and didn’t even attempt to go after it when he did muff it.  The only example of them showing lack of effort.

38-3 sounded so much better than 45-3 for some reason.

Back up QB played pretty well.

Great point regarding schollies Stew.  FCS max is 63 and Youngstown St, SDSU and most conferences use the max.  The NEC and Pioneer are 2 that do not. Playing 1 of these games a year helps hoops and the overall athletic budget by generating a big chunk of revenue otherwise unavailable, but we need more schollies.I do think the backup players at most positions are better than D3 and look how we crushed that D2 PSAC team at homecoming a couple years ago but your points on schollies and facilities are well taken!

Our own coach says backups who are non scholarship players are on the same talent level as a Division 3
school..If there is a injury to a scholarship player and you put a nonscholarship freshman  against a high quality opponent I have a real concern for players safety.Forget the money payout.Upgrade the program
or play Division 3. Im not sure why a TCU would get involved with Duquesne. Its nothing more than a scrimmage ,kind of a walk through,against a opponent that is too inferior to get any idea on how to approach a legitimate Division1opponent.
 

The reason TCU scheduled us is the same that Alabama will play Mercer,Nebraska plays Foedham,BC vs Colgate and really all FBS teams play an FCS game , a pretty sure winner and FCS school gets a payday that helps its entire athletic program.  This year's team I assure you has a lot of D1 talent including backups and I know that there is a need for quality depth and I am sure if  Jerry said  something like that it was pointing out the need for more schollies!
