Greetings from Cape Girardeau, MO!
Semo doesn't have a 'message board', but we basically talk at www.semoball.com, the blogs that are written by our local beat writer Marty Mishow. We basically just comment after the blogs, etc. semosportsweb is basically a High School website for our area, not a Semo fan site.
We're pretty new at this football playoff stuff, as this is the first year EVER that we have made the playoffs. I might can answer some questions, but basically we run a version of the flex option, but without a wishbone type of set. We run the option out of alot of different formations - 'single back shotgun spread' type of formation, two tight-end formation, h-back in the veer on occasion, and the old-fashioned Nebraska I-formation option. Our head coach is a former Nebraska player under Tom Osborne, and we run their 1980's style of option. We generally eat up alot of clock with our possessions, keeping our defense fresh and trying to wear down the other team's d. Our QB is really good running just like the old Nebraska QB's) but struggles in the passing game (again, just like the old Nebraska QB's lol). Our RB is very good, very quick and has the 'change of direction' ability that most good RB's need. Our OL is big, all are over 300 lbs, and our WR's our big and good blockers - the starters are 6'5 and 6'4. Our WR's struggle getting open running routes though as we lack speed at the wideout.
Defensively we play the basic 4-3-4, with our LB's being the strength. Our DL has taken a major hit losing both starting DE's in the last 2 games, both are out for the playoff game. Losing them hurts us alot, as they were both the only consistent pass rush we had, so we may have to use more blitz packages than we normally do to try and recreate that pressure they provide. Our DT's ar solid, and both will probably be 1st team all-conference, but what they try to do is take up space and let our LD's make the tackles. Our secondary is solid, but we have another injury to a starting CB, his status is unkown for the playoff game. Our free safety is a classic ballhawk, with 6 interceptions, 2 being pick 6's.
And naturally, we are somewhat upset having to travel so far and playing such a high-level opponent, but mostly we are happy to finally be a part of the playoffs. And also naturally, everyone is talking about your field. lol.
Good luck EWU, here's to a good game.

There's a bunch of folks around here that can probably answer any questions SEMO fans might have.
are you coming to the game? Thought you weren't going to be able to make it.
