Rockets run D is terrible, but fortunately EMU's run offense is even worse - last in the MAC, and 30 yards per game less than the terrible #11 BGSUx. Terry Swanson has more rushing yards than the EMU team. Rockets pass D is much better and so I do not believe EMU will be able to light up the scoreboard, in spite of UT's questionable D.

EMU's D is good, but they haven't exactly played a bunch of offensive juggernauts to this point. The Rutgers QB through for more yards against EMU than any other team they faced, for example. They certainly haven't faced a passing attack like Woodside, Thompson, Johnson & co. Miami fans swore that the Miami D would sack Woodside on every play and he'd be lucky to make any throws ... yet he threw for 340+ yards and 3 TDs - would have had even more if not for 4-5 out and out drops. I don't expect EMU to be better than Miami in pass defense.

EMU's much improved, but expect the Rockets to win by 2-3 TDs, as seems to be the consensus here.
