Wk3 Prediction Thread EWU 24 @ Wazzu 59

[Eagle Talon]

EWU 28 WSU 48

 

[ValhallaCoug]

Coug fans are pretty overly confident over on their message board.

Not on the premium boards. Most of us are cautiously optimistic. The fools on the free boards are ridiculous 90% of the time. This is the toughest opponent we'll have played by far, and is very losable. With that said, we match up better against your receivers than we did in 2016. Your receivers are talented, but there isn't a Cooper Kupp type guy that will likely go off for 200 yards and 3 TDs. Also, Shalom Luani was out for that game. This year, our secondary appears healthy and ready.

On the flip side, while our receivers are great and our running backs and Oline are playing terrific, our qb play is inconsistent. If Minshew struggles and this turns into a shootout, I dont like our chances.

We shut out SJSU last week 31-0, but we left 3 scores on the field with sloppy execution. The game legitimately should have been 48-0, but sloppy play led to poor execution in the red zone.

Our boys BETTER take this game seriously, or we will get our butts whooped again. If we do, I expect we should win this one.

Heart says Eags, head says Cougs. We have a solid team this year but the offense isn’t as good as 2016 by a long shot. I’m hoping for a good showing and no major injuries but don’t see a W in this game. Cougars 52-27

 

[ewueagle2010]

I hate picking against our team and I hope like hell im wrong.

45-42 Cougs

 

[60s Savage]

Never looking past anyone, hope the Batalion Comander lays in enough shells for the 105,on homecomming!

I chatted with the Commander before the CWU game and he said he was concerned about the limited rounds on hand as "it's a long trip to Yakima Firing Range for more. That little cannon proceeded to make a lot of smoke against CWU, but the ensuing games in Flagstaff and Pullman probably will save
enough ammo to get us past Idaho. I doubt they'd trust me to pick up a case on the way over in the meantime?

HOLY CRAP... IT'S ONLY THURSDAY.

Think I'm going to subscribe to Sling for free trial of Pac12 Network so I can watch.

 

[Seattle Eagle]

I have no idea what to expect from this game. WSU looks scary good so far. We could get blown out of the water or we could squeak by like we did a couple years ago. Screw it, I’ll go 31-30 Good Guys.

That’s the setup I have. I have the Sling App on my FireTV->UHDTV and it’s a good setup.

The only downside is it doesn’t seem to have Root Sports and I don’t know of any way to stream it. Looks like I may be SOL for those specific games.

Oh, and on my prediction: Quite a few points scored.

That is what I thought for the NAU game but did not prove to be true. My guess is that the total score will be under 60.

I know it's a ways out , I was woundering if we could get a flyby or a mock strafeing run on homecoming,. from the zoomies over at the air guard station during the presentation of the colors. I get goosebumps when the Cadets present the colors. You all have a squared away Core of Cadets! As far as that goes pretty much everything I see at this college is squared away. Sure glad my youngest decided to go to school here!

ROOT Sports just isn't available down here in Atlanta. Last year they had the main Root Sports game on the Audience channel, I switched to Xfinity (10X old ATT internet speed) and don't have the Audience Channel...

Are the Pac-12 games streamble via ESPN3? Or the Fox Sports App? I'm sure there has to be a way. If you are absolutely desperate and don't mind being blistered with pop-ups, firstrowsports.eu has a bootleg feed of just about everything.

How good are WSU's safeties? Webster has good hands and better top end speed than Coop, but isn't the route runner and possession WR that Coop was for us. He's already put up Kupp-like numbers this season though; 194 yds / 2 TDs per game.

Good question, they certainly haven't been tested.

As so many on the board have said, Eag's need better efforts from the whole WR corps. There could be a future Kupp "esque" receiver in the bunch. Nsimba has certainly stepped up this season, but there are several who have game changing qualities IMO, they just need to go get it. Let's face it, Kupp was special AND Shaq and Bourne pushed him. Iron sharpens iron.

Agreed on the receivers. As good as Webster’s looked we need other guys to step up. I’m hoping Boston is as good as billed.

As fast as he has appeared to be vs lesser opponents that will be mitigated in this level of competition. Coop was an outstanding route runner which got him separation, I do not see that so much with these Eagles. I hope I am wrong.
