[Poll] Can WIU Knock off UNI Again???

Post by guinzone »

Last year WIU knocked off the UNI Panthers in the pUNI-Dome... which pretty much ended any shot of UNI to make the playoffs. This year the game is in Macomb, IL; not that Hanson Field is a tough place to play atmosphere wise, but these Leathernecks will look to knock off the #1 UNI Panthers once again this year. A Win over UNI could possibly leap the Leathernecks into the Top 10 next week.

I'd rather play UNI after they won than after they lost; so I WANT Them to beat WIU; but I am thinking the Leathernecks will upset the Panthers.. What do you think?

WIU certainly needs the win, especially since they close with YSU and SIU
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

UNI is looking real tough this year, so I doubt WIU gets a win.

I don't know much about WIU this year but they have played some tough opponents as well and since it's a coin flip situation for me, I will go with them in this one. Nothing to back up my pick though.

I think UNI has a good day with balanced pass/rush offense. WIU wont get enough on the ground and will need more pass and UNI gets one or a few int's.

UNI - 30+

WIU - <20

UNI has one of the best run Ds in the country. WIU hasn't shown much this year in terms of a passing game. I think the Leathernecks are in for a long day.

Cap'n Cat was there. I was positively embarrassed for Western Illinois. On top of that mauling, they had about 30 high school recruits who witnessed the carnage.

OMFG. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

1st Downs: UNI 27 - WIU 9
Rushing: UNI 355 - WIU 114
Passing: UNI 93 (8-8) - WIU 43 (5-16)
Total Yds: UNI 448 - WIU 163
Time: UNI 37:08 - WIU 22:52
3rd Downs: UNI 10-12 - WIU 4-11

Corey Lewis 16-166 and 2 TD
Darrien Williams 19-102
Donaldson 17-80

Sanders, 8-8 for 93 yards! When you can run like that, who needs to pass?
