A well rested EWU defense grinds early against SDSU run game (ala Cal Poly) while attacking the edge with run game and leveraging play action to create big plays in the passing game. EWU pulls away against a game SDSU team.

EWU 42 -- SDSU 24 :)

South Dakota will eat up a lot of clock time, meaning a below average score for EWU.

EWU 34 South Dakota 27
 
EAGS offense has so many ways to move the ball and score. Even at 14 degrees the passing game will be working. Zenner will get his yards but EAGS make crucial stops.

EAGS 28

Welcome to the big league rabbits…

Love the bold prediction and can easily see this as the final score. Jackrabbits haven't faced this type of pressure. BOOM! Here comes the...... :nod:
 
Jacks 35, Eagles 27 Cold fingered receivers, and a rushed QB leads to interceptions and incompletions, while a cold weather downhill running team with a great O-line controls clock and LOS both ways. Like the Jacks chances in Cheney.
 
Cold weather has a much smaller impact on the passing game then wind or rain. It will be cold, but dry and sunny and the Eagles will shine 38-17.
 
I can't see how we would score less than 3 TD's per 1/2 Lets give them the benefit of a doubt and say 2 of those TD are only FG's - 34 points for the Eagles
SDSU has averaged less than 30 per game and I don't think they beat that, they couldn't against a NAU defense they bash as being a joke.
34 - Eagles
28 - Eagle food
 
google weather just updated to Saturday being a high of 7 with wind of 12 mph. Is that enough to put a wrench in a passing game?

I also think every team has underestimated our run game for the last half of the season, it will be a factor (potentially huge) factor.
 
EWU 31

And since everyone is so infatuated with the weather and how it will impact EWU's high-powered offense, I offer this reminder.

I don't recall the exact weather last year when EWU hosted Sam Houston in the semis, but it was mid December and it was cold and icy. There was no snow, but the field was frozen and it was damn cold. It was a night game too.

Vernon didn't start that game and EWU fell down 35-0. He came in to start the second half and he came in cold, probably literally and of course figuratively since he didn't play the first half.

I think VA did just fine throwing the ball in the cold as he threw SIX second half touchdowns.

Go EAGS!
 
A steady wind shouldn't be an issue. A swirling wind when don't know when which direction could be an issue. I would be surprised if Eagles running game gets going if the passing game gets shut down. Jacks D has been very effective at maintaining the LOS against most offenses. Likewise, most games the Jack O-line has been getting a 2-3 yd gain for the RBs BEFORE they get to the line. Both Zenner, and back-ups have made good gains AFTER contact. A running game vs the opposing D's favor the Rabbits.

Redundancy of your opinions won't make them facts. It is a strange presumption, that somehow the HOME team will be impacted more by conditions on their own turf. :roll: Your conjecture points to an opinion that assumes the ball will be easier to handle for your QB, RB or WR's. :ohno: The J-rabbits, in your analysis, are going to be "one dimensional" as well. Guess no one can scheme for that scenario. How did Missouri State shut down this monster offense?

BTW, SDSU is 50th in rushing with 505 attempts, EWU is 53rd with 409 attempts.

Is that the Missouri State that did not even make the playoffs? Or the Missouri State that finished the season @ 5-7? :rofl:
