How are you going to beat

Post by CaliSooner »

all the remaining teams on your schedule? Is the MAC really that weak? Somebody's gonna run on you again if things don't change real quick.

We've been run on a lot in our last several game dating back to Northwestern in the bowl game, OU earlier (which I just dismissed because the Sooners are so good), but tonight, we got our teeth kicked in. I don't know who will run on us like that again, but sitting here 0-1 in the MAC right now, I guess we'll find out. I'd like to think no one will like that again, but then again, I didn't expect NIU to tear us apart like that either.
GO BG!!!

Anyone who predominate;y runs is going move the ball on the ground no problem. This was a problem last year too. We got away with it for the most part though. OSU, EMU, and Northwestern ran all over us. Yes we beat EMU by a couple of scores. but not for a couple shoestring tackles that could have been 60 yard runs. I was at that game, and our run D was terrible, and that was against the eagles

I'll put my money on EMU & UT for starters. Both have run games we will not be able to handle.

Despite the optimism after the OU game this team is really starting to resemble the team I THOUGHT we'd see this season. I was really hoping I was going to be wrong after how tough we played OU, but tonight's game makes me wonder.

Eastern Michigan ran on us last year, too.
