His accuracy is not the problem. He has had ZERO time to throw the ball. We have 4 or 5 star athletes at every skill position on the field on offense. However, we are running 2 and 3 star O lineman out there. We have had 4 quit or transfer this year. We have 2 that are missing for injuries. One that is now a converted D lineman trying to learn. Recruiting that position has sucked for years now and we are seeing what happens when you don't focus on that group.

FSU should win by 3 touchdowns on Saturday. However, when you are 130 out of 130 teams in scoring offense, we could lose by 2 touchdowns because our defense is out there 40 of the 60 minutes. Key to NIU is to keep the ball as long as possible. I would hand it off every chance I can. I expect it to be a real low scoring affair going into halftime. At that point, whoever has TOP advantage at the end of the game will probably win.

ESPN has your scoring offense ranked 123rd with 15.3ppg. NIU scoring offense is ranked 128th with 13.3 ppg. This will be one boring game. Even if both offenses are dreadful I expect FSU to win since their offensive skill players are probably far more talented than our's and I highly doubt there are many starting QBs in 1-A worse than Childers.
