Exclamation Game Day: @BSU
Under one scenario, we'll know the next POTUS before we know whether EMU becomes bowl eligible tonight (because of extremely heavy early voting, 6.5M in Florida, FL might be called early tonight maybe as early as say 8:30, once the early votes are tabulated).

So the big suspense for EMU fans will be the football game (our game could be decided later than the presidential election).

RE: Game Day: @BSU
I'm trying not to go bananas.

Lions won a thriller Sunday. Today is the election and BSU. Tomorrow is the start of MBB national signing day and I'd assume our verbals should Tweet if they sign. Friday it Pitt in MBB. Sunday is SMU MBB.

Is that enough???

RE: Game Day: @BSU
I am calling out our DL and OLs today. We need both of them to man up and play to their potential.

First off our DL. I love POCs energy and tenacity!!!! However, even though he may get double teamed, we need a couple big plays from him. How about 1.5 sacks today POC and stuff the run several times??? Need our DTs to fight off blocks and clog the holes. Need to keep Gilbert to 100 yards!!!!

OL need you to pass block like you did the entire season excluding Miami. We also need you to open up some holes for our young and inexperienced RBs. If the weather is rainy, you really need to step up your run blocking because the weather may hinder our passing attack.

Gilbert is going to get his yards. EMU just needs to keep it reasonable.

I watched a little of the game against Western and from what I saw their QB Milas never really left the pocket. Easier to defend than Ragland. Not sure if he's getting the start tonight.

Don't expect much from the EMU ground game but hopefully they can do enough to keep the BSU defense honest. The short/quick passing game is just as effective as the run anyway. I'm kind of thinking EMU is going to throw the kitchen sink at the Ball State defense. Look for a lot of unique plays.

RE: Game Day: @BSU
To win we need a commitment to stop the run and make either Ball State QB make plays - with a few extra days I'm thinking we can use some new wrinkles and blitz packages to mix it up. Can't be too vanilla for this one.

On offense we should throw like there's no tomorrow - play to our strengths and keep the pressure on all game. I cannot take another blown 17-0 lead against these guys.

Lord knows we are overdue for a W against Ball State, and let's get back to winning football. A big win here gives us momentum to win the last two and finish strong.

preach! i couldn't agree more.

and, we agonize about playing at the same time as UM, but up against a contentious presidential election on a Tuesday night? the attendance is going to be brutal.

Sad how quickly we reverted to last year's issues. The defense doesn't even look like they want to be there. Offense can't hold onto the football. Just depressing.

Horrible sack taken by Roback. Had Porter wide open right in front of him. Ugh.

Agree but at least he didn't force it for a pick and we got something positive.

Gotta put that 1st quarter behind us and win the next 3. No more mistakes and the defense needs to force some turnovers now.
