My thoughts and predictions WIU game
Because i am definitley rooting for our beloved Panthers and while i figure we will win it may very well be too close for comfort. My reasoning is as follows:
1) It is there homecoming game, will be a very spirited team and crowd we are facing. We will overcome this.
2) Our run game will have to be steady best way to take crowd out of game is to run on them really demoralizing for the opposition. Not so sure of this, if Freeney gets bact to being Freeney than combo of him and Horne will be backbreakers here, if he is not than this will be a dogfight. Reason, If someone controls or shuts down our run it will hurt us in the pass game with blitzes and the like and just not good situation we can never be too one dimensional.
3) Hate to keep bringing this up but our run defense has to vastly improve. WIU has a pretty good tailback he has shown he may fumble occasionally. We need to put some pads on him early and often and not let him get into a groove. He needs to believe he will pay for every yard gained because if he gets going he can hurt you on the ground. If WIU runs effectively than they will control the clock keeping or offense on the sideline and keep their crowd very much into the game. We have not played the run well inthe 1st 3 games. We have had a week off and I think our coaching staff may have simplified the defense and may have different personel for certain packages for this game i.e, situational substitutions. This may be a very good thing if not just for waking up a few of our what I call sleeping giants on defense.
All said and told we will win this game yes I pick us to win a real good game and I think score will be:
UNI-27
WIU-17

Pretty darn close for comfort... The competition is a whole new ballgame in the Gateway and it starts saturday.
Traditionally WIU has done well when an underdog on homecoming. I believe that they are at 4-0 under this coach in that scenario. Their defense has shown great strength particularly in creating turnovers and capitalizing on them. I am confident that our offense will move the ball and put up points but not as easily as we did in our first two games. I am not convinced that our defense is operating at it's full potential yet. Hopefully I am underestimating them.Irreverence is another person's disrespect to your god; there isn't any word that tells what your disrespect to his god is. -- Mark TwainComment

Panthers offense just flat outscores their offense."They keep saying that what really matters is not whether you win or lose, but how you played the game. The trouble is that the best way to determine how you played the game is by whether you won or lost." - AnonymousComment

I'm going to have to take the Panthers in this one. It will be close, but only because it is WIU's Homecoming. My prediction is UNI 38-21.Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."Comment

UNI puts this one away early and coasts in. WIU scores a late touchdown to make it look closer than it was.

Western has some luck in the first half at moving the ball behind Glasford and throwing to Gray but they cant keep up with the powerful Panther Offense and our D steps the game up in the second half. I agree i think the coaches will go back and change a few things on D and UNI will look alot better this week and as far as the Offense well I dont think to many teams will be able to keep it down we are averaging like 40 pts a game.Feel the Power of Purple !!!!!!Comment
