SE Missouri State @ Eastern Washington

I was interested to see how SEMO responds when they down. So I looked at their drives in the SIU game earlier this year. In the 3rd quarter, against #5 in the FCS (at the time), SEMO was behind 21-3. So how did they respond?

They ran. And ran. And ran...

They had 22 plays before they iced the game (because they won the game 24-21), and of those 22 they ran on 17 of them.

How did they do?

minus to 2 yards: 7
3 to 10 yards: 5
11 to 20 yards: 3
21+ yards: 1 (for 67 yards, the game winner)
TOTALS: 16/144 yards
Avg of 8.47 ypc

Just for interests' sake, here's how the passes went:

0-10 yards: 1
11-20 yards: 2
21 yards+: 1 (for 39, that put them into scoring position on their first third qtr. scoring drive)
TOTALS: 5/78 yards
Avg of 15.6 yards ypc

They passed 5 times. That's it. This team doesn't pass. Even from behind. They run from all sets, with 2 big bruisers and the strong and shifty Henry Harris.

Interesting eh?

That's nothing for us. In our game against Austin Peay we ran 38 plays in the 2nd half. 37 of them were running plays, and we outscored them 28-10. Click on the play-by-play on the attached box score

And watch the archive of the EKU game, we ran the ball 45 times in the 2nd half, and passed it 4 times, and we outscored them 20-7. EKU had the ball for a total of 1:15 in the 3rd quarter, and 6:45 in the 2nd half.

We like to run the ball.

GO EAGS! As a CWU Wildcat fan, it's REALLY tough for me to root for teams who have shut us down. However, when MY team ISN'T playin the Eastern Eagles, or the COUGS, I root for 'em! Number ONE in the nation?!?!?!?! Go get 'em, boys, and make the state proud!

GO EAGS!

Interesting breakdown Brandon. So maybe another key to this game will be our depth at d-line. Defending against that many running plays would wear down any line but we can substitute so many guys and not loose much that we should be fresher in the 4th qtr than many teams in FCS.
Go Eags!!
 
So I guess it's prediction time:

I don't think this will be a high scoring affair, although any kind of shoot-out should favor the Eags.

SEMO's option attack and ball control poses some serious problems for the Eagles defense. Game goes into half-time close or tied up.

Second half, Eagles defense comes alive and forces a couple of TO's. TJ does his thing. BK skies for a couple TD's in the end zone.

Eagles win

28-24
 
Anyone watching this game from home? Let's do a gameday thread....

Right 14-all after Taiwan Jones' huge 58-yard TD run....

GO EAGS!!
 
Well MSU lost so if/when we win we'll get another home game. We should be up and hopefully our QB will complete a pass over the line of scrimmage and keep away from any more costly mistakes coupled with our defense making plays. We look to be the better team and we can wear these guys down and finish this off.
 
Do you think we look better? SEMO is doing what they always do. Control the ball and time of possession. I'm worried about our D tiring with some more long drives.

We need a fumble, special teams play, to break this open.

GO EAGS!
 
well a pick 6 we can't afford...they don't turn the ball over so we can't either. if BLM starts playing we will be fine and help keep semo offense off the field(i hope)
 
Well that sucked. I was hoping we'd score and put the pressure on them again. No such luck. Pressure's back on our D. Come on O!
