W. Illinois

[EWURanger]

1-2 record with the losses against Illinois (52-3) and Northwestern (42-7), respectively. Their win came again Patriot League Valparaiso, 51-30.

This is definitely a winnable game, and one the Eags must win heading into conference play. If the defense can continue to play as it has against UNI and IW, and we can get just a modicum of offensive production, we should win this at home.

Thoughts?

Sad state of affairs, but yeah. This is winnable. At home. We need to have an offense that starts fast. We’re falling behind so quickly in games that we can’t catch up. We’ve had the first two offensive drives end in turnovers and one three and out in our three games. Each first possession for the opposing team has been a TD. That’s not helpful.

WIU schedule is tough stuff in their OOC games.(got paid) Last year same thing as their first 3 games had 182 pts scored against them first 3 games. They went 4-8 overall.
We can score 35 pts on the these guys and and they should score under 30 pts on us at home.
Feels like we should have won that last game vs UNI not sure how when they had 495 yards of offense and we had 276??? **Didn't they have a bunch more penalty's on them than we did?
