Counts Prediction

[AZGrizFan]

If the Griz think they are going to pound it up the middle, this game will be a runaway. Our defense will stuff it. Your offense is totally different this year and plays into EWU's defensive strengths. We struggle with the misdirection, pistol, spread option type schemes, something the Griz have gone away from this year...

Look at our two losses, both Toledo and Sam Houston run similar offenses to the Griz last year and we struggled with it. If your coach is smart, he will implement some misdirection and options plays and allow JJ to run more, the Griz can hurt us there.

You gave up 28 yards to the D-II team. Against everybody else you're averaging 197 rushing yards against you. That ain't good. I put no stock in what UND or Weber did against you...those teams are abysmal (although ya'll made UND look pretty good for 3 quarters.)

If last year's game is any indication, their front 7 is fairly soft and easy to push around. Exactly the kind of thing a runner like Counts can take advantage of, IMO.

My bad, did not realize we were using last season as a basis for the prediction...I think Dan will have a huge day.

Well, have you seen anything to indicate they've improved significantly against the run since then? Because I really haven't.

Do you honestly think you'll have the advantage in the trenches against us? Regardless of the scheme we ran last year, our O-line completely pushed your D-line around. All the EWU fans in the stands around me kept commenting on how badly outmatched the Eagles were at the LOS.

The Griz OL did look pretty good against the 2 best defenses it has faced, NAU and Poly...

You think we have the same D-Line we had last year? We replaced all of our starters but 1, and Pulu our lone returner saw limited action against the Griz last year.
