The key to the game will be us stopping their run, and us being able to get 6 rather than 3 in the red zone.I'll be hoping for the six and that I'm wrong with my prediction. If so, I'd feel confident of a BS sweep and an exciting, competitve game w/ Elon- followed by our first playoff game ever.

Terrel, Rasberry, Bolden, Sandvig & Rogers played in that game also. The talent level at LU is significantly higher than it was in '05. I'm sure these guys and the rest of the 4th year players would love nothing more than to leave OH with a win that would leave YSU faithful scratching there heads. This is LU's game to lose. If they minimize the mental mistakes(penalties,dropped passes,missed assignments and missed tackles) They have just as good of a chance as any FBS school of winning this game.Brock Smith also played in that game. Karcher threw him in on a third-and-long and he was promptly sacked.
LU 27
YSU 17
