Teams very much alike; strong defenses; weak QB play. A game of exchanging punts and turnovers. Difference in the game was the late rushing TD.1972 said:Weber isn't close to the same team they had last year. Graduated some Studs last year. Good defense, offense not so much. Really felt Eastern would beat them if they won tonight. Will be fun to watch Eastern vs that defense.

Maine controlled the line of scrimmage on one side, not both. Yes, the Maine D manhandled the Weber OL, but the reverse was true as well. Maine gained but 286 yards in spite of short fields from 4 ints by the hapless Weber QB. The Maine OL finally had a success with the rushing TD mentioned above, the difference in the game.1972 said:I thought the difference in the game was Maine controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides. Weber O line got handled all game long.kemajic said:Teams very much alike; strong defenses; weak QB play. A game of exchanging punts and turnovers.

I cannot recall the last time I saw a game where a team ended up with negative rushing yards. Of course, Maine was also +3 in the turn-over battle. Yet, for all that, they won by just 5 points. Yes, their defense was amazing, but as an overall performance ... maybe not so much. In a way, it's weird to consider that, just a week earlier, Maine put up 55 points on Jacksonville State.bgbigdog said:kemajic said:...

Not being able to run the ball or protect their QB was the difference tonight. -1 yards rushing last night.
