Griz til I die said:
Marc I’m curious to get your thoughts on this game from an Eastern perspective.
I think it will be a great game….UM will by far be the best defense eastern has faced. I think Eastern has the best offense in the FCS and EB3 is the best player in the FCS so it will be a great game. Eastern is very balanced on offense and has a great offensive line which is why they give teams fits…they will score 30 ish against the Griz…everyone thinks the Eags throw it all over the place (which they do) but DM is a great running back with top 10 stats nationally in most categories…eastern won’t be afraid to run the ball all day if the Griz drop everyone into coverage.
Eastern defense is its weakness. But….it’s better than people on this site give them credit for. They played well against SUU this weekend, and if not for a fumbled kickoff return late in the 4th they would have held unlv to 13. WIU spiraled out of control when starters began resting and they went into a prevent, it was a joke but eastern is better than that. The Griz will get their yards and points but it won’t be as easy as most think.
I think eastern wins 35-31 but honestly I could see this game getting out of control (either way) if one team jumps on the other early…it will be a great game, will be sold out, night game, nationally televised…can’t ask for much more!!
