Wk 10 Prediction Thread Eagles 20 vs Kats 23 Fudge!!!

Have some of you watched Montana State's defense before? Scoring even close to 50 would be monumental. They don't give up much in the way of BS yards, and throwing might be tougher than normal in the wind. Assuming Eastern's defense holds up- which I still think is a weak link, and they may get run over- this game has more of a 24-21 feel. A game plan that requires moving down the field and scoring with regularity isn't likely to work. This one is gonna be played tight, meaning getting 3 and outs on D is how we'll win, and failure to stop their drives will cause us to lose.

I'd love to be wrong and watch us dominate both sides of the ball and eat my crow. I just feel like this is a tight game that'll require rising to challenge of defense to win.

Defense is more than up to the task for getting a few stops, maybe even a handful of 3 and outs. They got six 3 and outs against Weber.... The issue is/was/will be giving the opponent a short field in which to operate. Loss to Weber was exacerbated by a coaching decision not to kick the ball deep. That sort of thing can wear a defense out. Last two Weber scores started in Eastern territory. If Eagles hand MSU the 40+ yard line on a majority of their possessions, we as fans will be having a deja vu experience.

Get to a degree where you're coming from but there were A LOT of other inexplicable issues that contributed to the last game's outcome. Hell, Eastern had four 3 and outs on offense in the second half in a row, when supposedly adjustments should have been made. :ohno:

Here's the stat page, click on drives https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=359433

Looks like any rain will have stopped at game time and a good 15 mph wind should dry things up nicely. 15mph is pretty normal in Cheney. Could impact kicking.
 
I was in the stands and then painfully watched the replay on Sunday. What I saw in person was confirmed on replay. Holes, holes and more holes that EB3 could have run through. Got to the point where I yelling in the 3rd qtr "Run Eric Run". No spy on him yet he'd throw a short pass for 3-4 yards(if it was caught and thrown correctly) or try running outside agaist this fast defense. Funny at the end where that guy hit that perfect(perhaps lucky) punt on the 2 I still felt like we would take the ball down and the very least have a fg try. Even on MSU board many felt we were gonna go down and score and win this game. The best offensive team in FCS punts to the best running back in the league with 2 min left.
*as far as game plan I saw the same thing in the Weber game..players looking like they questioned plays...had my binocs on their faces. If EB3 can't audible then let Tristen Taylor call the plays!
