Mid Week Predictions for Ill State

(1/7) > >>

seanbryan3:
Well its about mid week.. How do we feel this week. Some interesting things heading into this game so far.. Illinois State squeaked by Missouri State, Western Illinois, and Indiana State. Against Missouri State they trailed 7-6 heading into the 4th, and ended up winning 21-7.. Against Western Ill they trailed 24-6 at half, trailed heading into the fourth quarter, but had an explosive 24 point 4th to end up winning 37-34. Against Indiana State they trailed 10-6 heading into the 4th and won 20-18.. Some interesting scores that all could have went the other way, and this Illinois State could have possible 3-4 conference losses. Seem like a second half team team to me. Gonna be interesting next week.. If im not mistaken im pretty sure we put up 40 or 50 on this team last year, and it is not an entirely different football team. Getting excited.

This would seem, on paper, to be a VERY even match up.  Watched some of their games on replay... Their quarterback is explosive but he misses passes here and there. A lot of talent on the offensive side of the football. Beatable defense that will step up from time to time.  I am going to guess we are in for a heck of a game. I'm a homer so I'm going to call it at 24-21 in favor of the Penguins

IAA Fan:
I am going with 42-32 good guys. We will break 50, but maybe not quite a 75-point affair.

ScarletRook:
Still a concern about our defense, especially the D line.  Seems to me the are gassed in the third quarter and there is never any substitutions.  Don't even see #90 & 94 - they must be way down the depth chart by now.
Fresh legs would go a long way in the 4th, but the coaches have yet to call me for an opinion.
With that said:  GO GUINS
No predictions because of my WIU game jinx.

seanbryan3:
Agreed, should make for a good matchup and gridlocked game. Their defense is very beatable, and we can exploit the secondary. The question is can we step up on defense and contain QB Tre Roberson. Athletic Quaterback.. He only threw for 127 yards last week and was sacked 5 times.
