2.5? That's a slap in the face
Fair. We return tons of players including our senior QB, RB and top 3 WRs coming off of our first winning season since 1989. We've never beaten a P5 opponent and this is the best chance we will have.
I don't think RU matches their intensity that they had opening the season in primetime on national TV vs a top 10 team. If you guys play like you did vs UW you probably win by 10-17. I expect RU to win by 3-7 or less. I think we have realistically a 35% chance to win outright. We've come a long way and this season is not supposed to be a step back. Also, MAC teams love beating B1G teams, happens annually. It needs to be our turn for once.
Good luck.
Not going to be a walk in the park. They have a former 4* QB, a RB who averaged over six ypc two years ago, they lost at W. Michigan last year by 2 TD's, and they return a ton of guys with experience.
I was the biggest worrier about this game all offseason, but after last week's performance of both teams, I expect us to come out swinging and win this one by a score of about 35-10.
Not flaming, but EMU's performance against a weak Charlotte team does not seem all that impressive.Fair. Potential sucker bet with Vegas begging people to take RU. I don't think we cover 3 but Vegas might. We return tons of players including our senior QB, RB and top 3 WRs coming off of our first winning season since 1989.

We just need to play hard every play every game and we can win games like this. I wouldn't say easy unless the offense starts to gel a little more and Janarion gets the ball more and can do what he did last year. The running game looks good so hopefully we can break some long runs and open up the passing game.Not flaming, but EMU's performance against a weak Charlotte team does not seem all that impressive.Fair.

Your QB threw no TDs and 1 INT.
1 TD for EMU on a pick 6.
I personally dont think EMU will be able to handle us in the trenches, your DL was getting pushed around by charolette. Left side of your OL looks decent but if Kemoko lines up against your RT and you pass, he may finish with 6 sacksFair. Potential sucker bet with Vegas begging people to take RU.

Charlotte returned 4 kickoffs with an average of 21.3 and a long of 39How are EMU's special teams? Can we throw the ball down the field?
I'm not overconfident, but not as underconfident as the usual crowd.Our fans seem a bit overconfident. I would not be ssurprised to see a tough close game next week and a drop in RU's level from last week. Football is a funny game. What you see one week often does not translate the following week.the program is no position to take anyone lightly and annex wins
I don't think RU matches their intensity that they had opening the season in primetime on national TV vs a top 10 team..
Exactly. This game has let down written all over it. I expect RU to win by 7 or so and I think the line will be close to that by game time.
I agree with this. A team that is used to beating good teams might look past this week. That's not us.I know the team was "up" for Washington because of the bad taste from last year and the high profile opponent, but I also think they'll be "up" for Saturday to notch their first win of the season after losing 10 straight.
Loved what I saw from the defense in terms of overall improvement, even though the LB corps is still not where I'd like. I think Ash will have them hungry for Saturday. I also think that the OLine and Edwards/Martin will move the ball on the ground, as EMU allowed 4.7 ypc - and Kill will keep pounding the rock while also adding some more to the playbook.
I'm thinking around 28-17 RU for this game.
They were good last year.
