You're a 175 pound back-up DB in a 51-7 game on a cold November day and your team is 2-8 on the year...and William Houston breaks the line and is coming right at you. I guess it builds character?

I'm in beautiful French lick Indiana. Just trying to update it. Can't figure out where he is now. Is he close to breaking it?
Greene came in today at 1,167 and has 126...1,293 for the year.

That's the most dominant 3 game stretch of football I have seen BG play. Kill Buffalo.

Gotta replace Alex Bayer and Ty Beck, Chief and Dom F. Other than that, wow.
Well, we hope that's all we lose, as long as we don't have starters bolt like Cooper and Samuel. But agreed, it looks very promising.

Just got indoors, and I am still frozen solid. The wind was a KILLER, made temps feel like single digits, but the game made up for it and then some. Total domination! The pick six they had prevented a shutout but that was about the only low point of the game. Well that, and Coppet went down with an injury and left the field wearing a neck brace (hope he's okay). But great to see us keep things rolling in a big way again. For those of you there too, I don't think any of use expected to see so many points with that kind of wind in your face for two of the four quarters, but we enjoyed each one of them. Great finally seeing the second units out there too. Icing on the cake. NOW BEAT BUFFALO!
GO BG!!!

EMU completed their first pass for 4 yards and then nothing the rest of the game. 65 total yards vs BG's 550 or so. Those are crazy numbers for a D.

BG and Buffalo are very similar with strong D, good running game and enough passing to have balance and keep the opposing D off balance. I think we are better but we'll see Friday.

UB's pass offense is as follows: first read, Neutz. Second read, Oliver. Third read, scramble. I think I know the keys to shutting down their offense.
