Another game of the day with a PSAC representative, but this time it's two PSAC teams as we head into conference play.
Indiana (PA) (-13.5) vs. ESUP
Badaxe is certainly trying to expound upon last year's success and impressiveness and this will be the best test he'll have to prove just how "badaxe" he's become
(I immediately apologize for that nerdiness, I just couldn't resist). These two offenses are similarly talented until you get to the WR and OL positions, where lyonzfan has a pretty sizable advantage. Where as on defense, Indiana has a decent advantage everywhere. Badaxe will need to do two things to have a chance in this game and the first and foremost will be to not turn the ball over. Losing that battle will pretty much guarantee a negative result. The other will be to control the tempo of the game that best suits ESUP. That's tough to say how that will be most effective but badaxe will certainly want to win the time of possession battle. In the end, I think Indiana (PA) will be just too much talent to overcome and it doesn't help that lyonzfan is as solid of a coach as he is. If this were real life, there would absolutely be an opportunity to catch Indiana sleeping in the first half after coming off a big win against Quincy but I don't quite think those elements exist within this game.
In other games, Indianapolis vs. Findlay could be a fight. I see Indianapolis coming out on top, especially after playing NCCU so closely, but you never know. Findlay has played decently thus far. Another game to watch is Miles vs. Saint Joseph's but considering I'm a part of that, I won't really get into it. I will say that I know husker is a great coach and I'll absolutely need to put on my best game planning hat to walk away with a win. I'm pretty scared about this one.
GL all! Let's hope we get some good games tomorrow.
