On Saturday we were the hunted. Butler came looking for us with all the hunting prowess of Elmer Fudd. It never ended well for Mr. Fudd and it didn't end well for Butler.
Now we're the hunter and WMU is the hunted. Do we have the ammunition to get it done? It's a major endeavor . WMU was 4-2 in 6 MAC conference games in the fall. In those 6 games they averaged 41.6 points per game. The QB that led that charge (Eleby) has returned so our defense will be outplaying the MAC if they hold them under 40. I think we need to hold them under 25 to win. Our offense will need to be in the zone to hit 25. Bryce Jefferson was basically unmolested in the opener. He'll need to make plays under fire. The TE's need to turn it on. Our RB's are capable and they proved they can run through holes against Butler. Can they create yardage when nothing is there a la James Robinson? Nigel White is good, P. Brown is good, Cole Mueller is good. Having said all that - MORE KEVIN BROWN PLEASE!
I'm going to WMU. We have a chance to pull off the upset. Not a good one, but we have a chance.
