RE: Finally a CMU WMU game with meaning
On paper, we should win, but this is clearly one of those rivalries that boils down to who's 'feeling it' on game day. Our defense is far better. CMU's Flores was mostly responsible for that high rushing ranking, but he's out.
Last season, we had our doubts about the Broncos' heart and effort in the back half of the season. I mean shoot, Taylor admitted as much in a presser. We lost at CMU despite a bunch of Chips being out injured. But I feel like it's "there" this season; that is, I don't think we're in danger of going through the motions.
At home, looking for some revenge, a dangerous CMU weapon being sidelined. A loss would really be disappointing.

Dang, I miss CD. Place hasn't been the same since he left us all. He could always be counted on to  on this important rivalry week. Some of his stuff was just too funny that I needed to learn to not drink anything while reading his posts.
Go Broncos! Beat the Chimps senseless.

Walt Bell sending us sideways again and it seems we can’t block a stiff breeze today.

Commentators saying Lowry needs to get rid of the ball quicker but both of those were on the OL in my opinion

Going to be a long day if the defense can’t get off the field.

Bad offense and defense giving up first downs of penalties like halloween candy.

Defense has spent 75% of the first quarter on the field

I don't know the roughing the passer rules well enough to say if that was technically right but that PI was bad bad

Can I watch one WMU sporting event this weekend that isn't officials making it all about them?

I really wish our defenders wouldn’t throw their hands up like they’re guilty then.  That tricks refs every time.

Especially, if they throw a flag every time we get a stop.

Not giving up 30 yards in two plays might’ve helped

Two three-and-out drives. Great start. We’re cooked.
