the Sun is rumored to be hot. But by how much? What do I expect? Let’s revisit NorthLeastern to see what’s what…….
Last year a puny Northleastern held us to 111 rushing, as the Staff tried to pull a late night study-hall move and attempted to cram several games worth of improving into four quarters of Sean Glennon. People forget how good SG was that game. How does an 83% Completion percentage strike you? How about an all-conference quality 3:1 Passing Ratio (TD’s:INT’s)? Not bad huh? Now raise your hand if you expect to see that vs. LSU, on the Road, at night, on national TV, vs. possibly our toughest traveling environment ever?
I thought so, and nor do I. We will run, as best we can. But ECU does have a fairly stout front-seven on defense. We badly need to attempt another cram session with Graham at left-G, and Marshman at right-OT. But we also need to pull them at some point, so they stay healthy for LSU. So I predict the clock will roll, and this game will be a little faster than normal. But I also predict a ST’s score, and a Defensive major as well. Too much emotion for the Pirates, they hang around for about two quarters, then get scuttled like Commodore Norrington’s love-life in the second-half. I foresee more Hokie points than my fellow TSL scribes do, maybe a touch more for ECU as well (foreshadowing intended) VT 37 ECU 6
france will win as well, “oui”, they will. Something like a 20-16 game favor the orange vests and the blue berets (with apologies to Air Force for that one). Wyoming has very very in-experienced front-lines on both sides of the line-of-scrimmage, a well-below average turn-over margin, and suspect Special Teams. That’s enough to give one away in your own backyard.
wvu will beat Western Michigan. But my main MAC spy swears that this is WMU’s best team in years. Their Qb put up sensational true-pocket-pivot numbers as a Freshman, only to nepotistically sit for the coaches son with a knee that was hurt (wink-wink). How does an epic 20:3 ratio in only six games strike you? How about the #1 Qb efficiency rating for 2005??? Strikes me like WMU should crack 20 points, even up in mo-town. wvu 44 WMU 22.

Also like Navy tonight, with a very mild lean towards Washington up in Will’s so-called “Jiffy-Pop Dome”. b-st.
