Here we are...week 4. Winless. Homecoming. Home opener. Spirits are lower than expected.
What do we have in front of us?
Northern Colorado comes to town boasting a 1-1 record. They scored 13 unanswered in the 4th to come from behind and beat Houston Baptist 28-20 at home. They reign from the almight Big Sky conference. They lost to UNLV 13-12 in LV in their first game of the year. (UNLVs only win).
The Bears avg. 20 pts a game and 342 ypg.
Defense is their strong point picking off 8 passes so far in 2 games and recovering a fumble. (They are +6 in the TO margin already). They have 4 sacks to their credit. They do allow 178 yards on the ground but they are ball hawkers on the air game. Pass defense of 142 yrds a game.
Offensively they are a balanced system. They hold onto the ball 32 minutes a gam and avg. 150+ yards on the ground and 180ish through the air.
Their QB, is a dual threat QB and very efficient through the air. 27-38 on the season (71%, 1TD, 1 INT) He also has rushed for 20 or so yards and was the receiver on a reverse pass.
Their kicking game is their weakest point. Their FG kicker is 1-5 on the season (Long of 31) and the punter has kicked 10 punts only avg. 32 yards a punt.
I predict Panthers 38, UNC 10
