I think he has the prediction nailed - which means it will probably not happen that way. We have to be concerned with their offense and the 2 receivers he references. At least Terrell is not a huge running threat, but he will run if it is open and is smart enough to get on the ground before taking punishment. We have to hope the refs are watching for holding against our relentless and deep d-line. If they are afraid to call those plays, we are screwed. I don't even know what qualifies as holding anymore. I see guys take fistfuls of jerseys and they don't call it unless the D-lineman actually gets pulled to the ground or is in pursuit of the QB and is being held with the OL behind the rusher. Otherwise, you can do pretty much anything else - and it makes it very hard to break through the line to get to the QB. We have done a better job of blitzing to get pressure - and coverage has not let guys get wide open (except against NIU).

The key I see is penalties and turnovers. Always. I just hope for once, we can get the calls going our way in the Glass Bowl. I just want an opponent's fans to complain in unison how they got screwed by the refs in our house. That never happens. Not that they don't complain, but the refs never give us that advantage on calls made. Leveraging?? Are you freaking kidding me?

Classic.

I didn't realize that Western was already eliminated. So it's either us or Northern.

If the Rockets don't come out motivated tomorrow then they hopeless.

not worried about us being motivated. look forward to a great game led by some special seniors. western has some players and fleck usually has them energetic. we could play pretty well and win by 10 or blow them out. but i expect a good effort and a win.
