Anyone else think Vitto will start next week?

[LDopaPDX]

I'll bet he does. I suspect he'll be given the first drive to see what he can do, and if Eastern scores points on the drive, he'll stay in for a bit.

 

[EWURanger]

No reason to believe Adams won't start unless he can't go. I do think we'll see Vitto, buy my guess is later on in the game. They said it was a stinger, but I guess we'll know more about the injury in a few days.

 

[LDopaPDX]

Remember, it's Senior Day... So they'll try to play the seniors as much as possible. I figured Vitto would get the start if we beat Cal Poly, and given the way he played, I think my hunch is going to play out.

 

[tomq04]

you might be on to something, but i would suspect a 2nd half start over the 1st.

If this was a democracy I would certainly vote YES but...
Mo is a very dangerous thing especially in college sports. If PSU stays in the game and starts to believe "hey we can play with these guys" it is much more difficult to stuff that genie back into the bottle.
And there are the records, Vernon is on the brink of setting several records, would you want to take that away from him and the program?
Sounds romantic but I could certainly understand staying with the rhythm that has brought the Eagles to this point and make the change in the second half.
But as we know... BO KNOWS!!!

I'm with clawman. However, I think Beau will put Vitto in much earlier than usual.

So do I. If we have a considerable lead in the second half we'll see Vitto in my opinion.

Adams to start. Sole possession of the Big Sky should be the priority.

 

[EWUeag]

Vitto will start because it's senior day. How VA's shoulder feels and how well Vitto does will determine how long he stays in for.

 

[luckyintheorder]

I'll bet he does. I suspect he'll be given the first drive to see what he can do, and if Eastern scores points on the drive, he'll stay in for a bit.

maybe you'll put out a prediction on the final score against PSU this coming week too?

doubt he plays the entire game, but I agree that Vitto will start.

 

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Not that it will have any factor in who starts, but I wonder if PSU will have much fight in them on Saturday, after losing by 1 at home to Sac State. I think Baldwin will let Vitto start being senior day and all, but Adams will be back in the next series and stay in until the game is no longer in doubt.

I am all for sentimental starts and all, but the last few times we have played PSU it has been a struggle. PLAY TO WIN! If Adams can't got because of injury so be it, but we have a higher calling for this game and it is the last time to impress the committee.

I agree. You need to first assure the win and then let the seniors have their time in the sun. From what I hear, Vernon had a stinger and could have gone back in if needed. He will be fine for Saturday. Looking forward to a serious celebration Saturday night...Undefeated Big Sky BABY!!!!!

Yep. Remarkably, last week the average predictions of all who chose EWU as the winner was 36-25. Pretty darn close. No one foresaw the 4th quarter though.

 

[luckyintheorder]

Egads! Since when did the left coast become Cheney? Maybe this will help.

I think VA should start.

If VA sits, that means he goes 20 days without playing a game and he only played in 1/2 a game prior to that. No way do we want a rusty VA playing in our playoff opener. I think Vitto is great, but VA is our starter for a reason. We have a top 4 seed and sole possession of the Big Sky on the line.

Unless injured, start the player who brought ya here...

He looked real rusty against OSU.
