Four-Star Recruit
This game will be interesting, bound to be a close one. I think the key to the game is winning the turnover battle. Giving one of these teams the short field will be advantageous in what should be a low-scoring affair.
If we don't get down early in this one, which we shouldn't against a poorous offense, we should be able to concentrate more on the running game instead of airing it out all of the time. If we can generate some yards and first downs on the ground, we should have them set up for some playaction. Taylor needs to feed it around to everyone like he did against Iowa State and we should be in good shape.
I think the Blackshirts are getting overlooked in this match-up because of their performances in the last few weeks. I have to admit, despite a bad game plan against the Brad Smith Tigers and a couple long runs by Peterson las week, this is still a pretty good defense. If the line gets back to its sacking ways, then we can make Swanson make some mistakes and possibly cause some fumbles.
Overall, I like our chances if we hold on to the ball, run the ball a little, and pressure Swanson.
