I think playing at EWU on the inferno spots them about 7 points as they are always good at home, and let’s face it we haven’t won on that turf yet. With that said, we should EASILY be able to score 40+ points on their absolutely awful defense. I do think they will put up some points too, mostly off some explosive plays like we saw against WIU.
If we hold them to about 24-27 points (which is 100% do-able) we should easily win this game.
