Makes me want to puke. Im sorry but I am just not sold on them even after their 7-1 season. I think they're about to get destroyed against NIU and in the bowl game.
The same thing was said of Miami before the Temple game, there was no way they were going to beat Temple with a 3rd string QB. Well, they beat Temple more convincingly than we did. Miami's simply the better team this year. I know we beat them, but a MAC season is 8 games, not one. Over the course of the season they won the games they needed to win (playing basically the same MAC schedule) and we didn't. End of discussion.
I hope Northern Illinois wins out too as I think they are the class of the MAC this year. But Miami's been underestimated every game and they just keep on winning.
After pasting EMU 71-3 today (a team Fiami beat 28-21), NIU has put up 195 points in the last three games (against Toledo, BSU and EMU) -- not far from the b-ball team's average. Expect more of the same Friday.
