I have seen much growth in our football team. We have many weaknesses but I Guarantee an EMU victory if:
1) Our wide receivers concentrate and catch the ball. Even our preseason All Mac TE had two key drops that could have changed the outcome of the NIU game. So far, the receiving core has been a huge weakness to overcome. In contrast, UMASS have big strong quick receivers who can catch. If our receivers catch expected passes and don't become a hindrance then this boded well for a victory.
2) Defense must make adjustments quickly. We did not respect UofBs QB to run the ball and he burned us. We let NIU QB burn us for a long TD run. After that, EMU placed a spy on their QB and stagnated their system. We can't let CMU QB scramble for 1st downs.
3) We need the DL to get 3 sacks and place pressure on CMU QB. Not much pressure last week.
4) Need our safeties to show continuous improvement and manage Davis to a respectable game ( 200 yards max passing).
5) Absolutely must win turn over battle
6) No stupid penalties negating our offense or by our defense that would allow CMU to extend their drives. We have one OL that had 4 false starts against UMASS and a big hold against NIU. Can't beat ourselves.
7) Need Reggie to pass for 200, run for 40 and need RBs to gain a total of 130 yds
8) Based on the improved play and coaching, i expect a victory this week!
