The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: New Hampshire

I'm going to give this short and sweet because there's not much more I could say.

THE GOOD: N/A

"Nobody died," Rob Ambrose on positives from the game.

THE BAD: Turnovers

6 Interceptions and 2 fumbles, giving up 127 yards and a touchdown. With every attempt at some sort of offensive production, Towson shot themselves in the foot. The Tigers have been notorious for very poor turnover ratios in the past. Today they turned in a (-7).

THE UGLY: Scoreboard

'Nough said. The Wildcats handed Towson the most lopsided loss at Johnny Unitas Stadium. New Hampshire didn't only score often, they scored in almost every way possible. 2 passing touchdowns, 2 rushing touchdowns, 2 interception returns, a field goal, a kick return, a safety and a field goal.

OVERALL ANALYSIS: To put it simply, Towson failed on pretty much every facet of the game, and New Hampshire did what all good teams do. They capitalized on the mistakes of a bad team.

Towson's defense kept it honest. To be frank, this game could have set NCAA records as far as scoring and turnovers. But for every positive the Tigers had as a team, they seemed to mess it up somehow. This is the mark of a young team.

There's a huge upside to the amount of young talent they have along with a coach that should have a great recruiting record. However, right now, they're nowhere near ready to compete in this conference. If they are, they haven't showed it yet.
