Ok, time to turn the page and get ready to go to the Inferno on Saturday. Cheney is the place where the Hornets have won the most Big Sky road games in school history, starting with a Jimmy Sanchez FG with no time remaining in 2000 to give the Hornets their first win there. SAC has won five of 12 games at Woodward/Roos Field, including the last time they played up there in 2022, coming away with a 52-28 win.
Hornets hung with the now #3 Grizzlies for most of the game Saturday night. Eastern picked up a tough, 3-point win at Weber State on Saturday. Eagles have won 3 straight, although, they were all one score games against three of the league bottom feeders in WSU, PSU and Idaho. Ironically, the latter two are the Hornets next two opponents after this week.
Early forecast shows rain and 53 degrees at kickoff, which would favor the Hornet run game, similar to the Weber State game. The Eagles have allowed nearly 200 yds a game on the ground (190) to the opposition...so its imperative the Hornets are able to unleash their ground game.
With the backs against the wall, every game from here on out is a playoff game for SAC. One more loss and I think the playoffs will be out of reach. But run the table, including a win over Causeway, would put the team at 8-4 (6-2 BSC)...and in a power league like the Big Sky, that gets them in.
Because the Hornets have the superior running offense, it will be enough to get the win.
