What are your feelings about this upcoming game? Here's mine.
I liked Rhules message at the PC. I think he can smell a trap game and he's trying to keep the troops unified and focused.
I love that Reimer is back. He's our best all around LB.
I like that we're at home. Should help with OL penalties we had at Illinois. I still think we'll have 2 to 4, but I don't expect 8 or 9.
I haven't watched Northwestern, but a quick look at some box scores, seems they've struggled to run the ball and stop the run in many games. Not to mention squeaking by Howard.
I expect our D to stuff the run. The question will be our pass rush and coverage. Here's where I like Reimer covering TEs and RBs.
We commit to the run, get stuffed often but we bust just enough big runs and chunk pass plays to win the field position battle and have a long TD or two.
Heinrich throws a pick, we lose a fumble but we get 2 picks ourselves to even the TO battle.
We give up a few too many big pass plays but bow up in the redzone. We win 21-13.
This game will be a grind. Very easily could lose if we do the usual eff ups. It's a game we could win by 28 but we're not quite there yet.
Lemme know your predictions.
