We are certainly in the drivers seat and we control our own destiny. However, to be realistic, I take one big win with a grain of salt, as I take one big loss. This team has been playing extremely inconsistent (Kansas –all phases, Toledo – defense, Purdue – defense/offense 1st half, NDSU – all phases, NIU – defense) with the exception of the Ball State game.
I believe we have every bit of potential to win and/or lose every game on the schedule. Every team, including Army and EMU can disrupt our chances to achieving our goals. I really hope we continue to roll and get better, however I'm not overly confident as i was last year. I hope BJ sticks to our strengths and utilizes LeFevour in the passing game. I still have the same outlook, that anything less than 8-4 or 7-5 at worst would be a disappointment, granted all the talent we have on the roster going into the season, along with the players retuning, and with the addition of Antonio Brown
…we certainly should dominate our opponents, except Clemson.
Here is how I think it will shake out:
Army – We should get a Win, however it will be a tough win
Clemson – The two headed monster (Davis & Spiller) will shred our defense, should be Loss, just hope it looks respectable
Kent State – Tough game, kent has the potential to beat us. This could go either way
wmu – Throw the records out, the home team usually wins this one. This could go either way.
emu – The Eagles play us tough and this one could go either way.
Akron – They look like they are playing better as the season continues, again, this could go either way.
The only games I’m most concerned with is obviously the two in-state games vs. wmu and emu. If we at least win one, we have a good chance of going to the MAC Championship game.
