Mid Week Predictions for Ill State
Wick250:
On a neutral field, I would feel very comfortable about this game. But Illinois State last season won all their home games and lost all their road games. Some of the margins both ways were huge as reflected in the beating that we administered to them at Stambaugh. If the posters on their message board are correct, they have not lost yet in their renovated stadium. Perhaps they are due.
Remember the last two games we played in Normal. Got beat on a Hail Mary in 2010; blew a three touchdown lead and got shut out in the second half in 2012. Time to erase the memories of those travesties.
I agree. Containing their Indiana transfer quarterback is the key. Also, we are going to have to put up over 30. That is doable if we don't make mistakes.
SoupCity:
Do they not have a really good RB?? The QB seems more like a runner as opposed to passer I think. If YSU can MAKE him throw the ball, seems like that would be the best way to go (WOW, did I really just say that!!).
Wick250:
Soup, I am glad that you made that statement. I could not force myself to type those words. :P That strategy worked very well at Missouri State against a run first quarterback. Problem here is that this guy is much better and he has a high quality tailback standing next to him, as you suggested.
DavedS:
Last years score was 59-21---should be a close game this year--hopefully the good guys will win.
ysufan0505:
This team is more focused than ever. Now is the time where good teams start to separate themselves. Ruiz and Webb go off, Wells manages the game, nothing too fancy. Defense gets a late pick to seal the game.
