    IF UNI's D-line is healthy (i.e.-Stensrud and Hermann), we should be healthy enough and deep enough to do what we want to do, IMO. Our linebackers will need to play a very, very good game, as well as have our young D-backs not get torched deep.

    Our O-line has hopefully gotten more comfortable with each other (and the system) in the past week and a half to be ready for this weekend's game. If they can't open up holes, it will be difficult for even a healthy Freeney and Carter to get anything going. Petrie will be fine, and his receivers should be able to get some good jumps and turn on their speed on the McAndrew turf. Our tight ends have been very, very good this far, so hopefully that trend will continue.

    I think the fact that UNI has been able to get rested, and stay reasonably health (outside of our RB's), will be a huge advantage going into this weekend's game. In all honesty, I don't think Farley and Salmon have opened up the playbook too much this season. I think they should be able to do some things to Southern that they haven't see (at least I hope so). SIU has a deep D-Line, but UNI has also been running 8 or 9 O-linemen in the game as well. Our linebackers are fairly experienced, and the week off should have helped Koebcke learn the system more. With Ivory, Heidemann, Koebcke, Triplett, Overmann, and Hannam, we should be fairly rested at the LB positions.

    Our punting is in good hands and Wingert isn't a question mark. However, our punt returns haven't been that great. If we can get a break out punt return, it could really be a big turning point in the game for the Panthers! Giving Farley 2 weeks to prepare for a team, tends to point to good things for the Panthers (if comparing the previous years). I think this will be a great, great game. And I am feeling much better about this game today, than yesterday.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.
