Stout. As well as pass rush.

Interesting that we gashed the Bobcats so badly!

I would say "Like a freshman--," but I'm not, because I'm above that. :)

Oh, I can't wait until Friday. It'll be like Christmas!! Toledo will be fired up -- but so will we. I will say what happens, but I fear they read this so I won't.

not to make excuses, because you guys have a really food team, but Ohio came into that game with several injuries on defense and then 3 or 4 key guys on D went down in the first half. Ohio played the second half with their top 4 linebackers unable to play. It got so bad that Ohio's top RB, #45 AJ Oullette, had to play linebacker vs Buffalo the next week. Luckily Ohio got several injured players back after a couple of weeks and were able to get back on track. Ohio's front 7 were almost back to full strength tonight and were able to protect the DBs who are all 2nd and 3rd stringers because of more long term injuries in that group.

Like, I said WMU would have probably still won the game but without the key injuries I think the score would have been closer.

Hair gel.

Fact is, we SHOULD have beat these guys.

Maybe he threw the game. Can't bear beating his alma mater.

I like that.

CMU beating EMU... 4-way tie @ 6-2.

Who's records against each other? WMU: 2-1, NIU: 2-1, TOL: 1-2, CMU: 1-2

Between WMU & NIU, NIU gets it.

HOWEVER, I forget whether it's B1G or MAC -- but unless there's a SOLO clear winner it that, it moves to the next one -- the East Division record.

WMU: 2-1, NIU: 2-1, TOL: 2-1, CMU: 3-0

I do NOT want to CMU get it. So... go NIU? :)

This isn't a thing. Your MACE record doesn't mean anything, it's the record of your MACE opponents. And the MACE opponents record only matter if there is a true tie. NIU only has 1 loss in the MACW. You need to have the triangle thing happen where A beat B, B beat C, C beat A along with the same record within the division.

If WMU loses to UT: they would have 2 losses in the MACW. CMU has 2 losses in the MACW. UT would be 7-1 and obviously win outright.
If WMU beats UT: that would put CMU/UT/NIU/WMU all at 6-2 (assuming CMU beats EMU). CMU and UT would then have 2 MACW losses while WMU and NIU would have 1 MACW loss. NIU beat WMU, therefore they advance.

Anyway, WMU and CMU have 0% chance to go. Sorry if this has already been stated. If WMU beats UT, NIU goes. If UT beats WMU, UT goes.

I posted that last night.
