Agreed on UM. Its pretty simple, we stop the run or we don't. If we don't its gonna be a high scoring game and probably last possession wins. If we stop the run and or force a turnover each half, I think we win by 2 scores.
I fully expect our D to rise to the challenge and have a great game here. I honestly dont remember the last time GTech "ran all over us" as the last few years we have pretty much been lock down on those guys. And we have a veteran group on D that has seen this offense before so its not like they dont know what they are doing either.
I fully expect us to cover that -5.5 and I wouldnt be shocked if that line dropped to like -4 by kickoff when people find out we are without Walton and maybe even Richards.
