[SpiderFan5]

Tribe 24

[Col Hogan]

W&M 21 SIU 17

[wideright82]

Well the 3rd place team in the CAA South is going to win the NC this year again. W&M by 4

[siuham]

Seems the #1 team in the country is the underdog.

Fun.

Interesting as hell match-up though. What teams has W&M faced with a scrambling QB this year?

McIntosh had 100+ yards and 1 TD yesterday rushing, and Deji had 150+ with 2 TDs rushing.

...and weber had -6.

[siuham]

Also, it seems SIU's defense is being shot down a bit. The defense has had a TD in 4 of the last 5 games.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Deji will be the best RB you will face all year.

[AZGrizFan]

This is deja vu all over again....didn't you MVC fans learn ANYTHING from Weber fans' mistakes?

This may be the best QB/WR combo you've faced all year.

[Tribe4SF]

That's a short limb you're on. No doubt he is the best we've faced. SIU offensive line may also be the best we've faced, although UVA, Richmond and Villanova might argue that point.

No, that was an asinine statement, saying Deji is the best running back is true.


Did I say he was going to run all over the Tribe? Did I say he would have a great, or even a good day? Did I even saying anything other than he is the best running back you will face this year?


Z you need to take your fucking midol of something. Your picking shit apart like my wife does. I say something with no leaning one way or another and you put the words in my mouth to rip my ass apart.....for nothing. Montana fans are showing their true colors.

UNI fans are some sensitive bitches this morning.

Thanks for the info, Tribe4SF

Expecting a great physical game, and agree it's a coin flip--probably be decided by turnovers. Regarding the "scrambling QB" mention, W&M's front 7 is playing off the charts of late. McIntosh will be a scrambling QB---whether he wants to be or not!

[houndawg]

Sounds like SIU should go ahead and forfeit.

Here's a newsflash: W&M's offense is going to have a tough time too. SIU's front seven are no slouches either.

riiight. It sure seems like all the griz fans get super crazy every time somebody fails to bow down to them.

Not writing off SIU, and you have a good point. Still, the SIU offense vs W&M defense looks to be the compelling story. We'll see.

[siuham]

3-0 defensive battle anyone?

[JayJ79]

3-0 defensive battle anyone?

4-2 final score.

I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody takin' the chance

Safety dance
It's the Safety dance!

[houndawg]

3-0 defensive battle anyone?

19 - 13, SIU

[GRIZ MOBSTER]

I got the W&M D
Tribe 24
SIU 14

That's funny I was going to say the exact same thing.
WM-24
SIU-14

[skinny_uncle]

Also, it seems SIU's defense is being shot down a bit. The defense has had a TD in 4 of the last 5 games.

Bill & Mary D gives up 13 points a game.
SIU D gives up 15.

Looks like it should be a low scoring game.

Of course sometimes these things don't go to form.


SIU 36 W & M 27
