I'm going with defensive line tonight. We need to create pressure with 4 players tonight. Which will create tips and overthrows for picks.

Quarterback. Rourke needs to have a big game to win.

Offensive line - protect Rourke, plus what I saw of the Marshall-Boise game Boise could run inside on Marshall.

Wide Receivers - with Cox questionable and Tyler Tupa out, who is going to be a reliable target for Rourke. Lots of unanswered questions at WR for the Cats. Plenty of talent, Buckner, Hooks, Walton, etc. Who steps up?

I'll go with the running backs. I think the defense is going to do their job tonight, and the offensive line as well. Having lost 2 quarterbacks to Marshall in this decade, I want the running backs to block like maniacs and protect Rourke from any cheap shots on blitzes, and I'd like to see them bust a few big runs, too.

Halftime adjustments.

Offensive line needs to give Rourke some time. I've given up on our defense for today. Need some big offensive fireworks if we're going to have a chance.

It's gonna be a long year with this defense. Line didn't stop much of anything tonight. Pass defenders blown coverage and falling down(#22 on the last TD catch). And, the poor tackling. It is just hard for me to see us stopping anything.

And although the O-line looked a bit better tonight, Rourke was under all kinds of pressure much of the night. Maybe just a few sacks but they were all over him.

Bottom line, I don't see this as a Championship team yet. But, it is a long season and I hope I am wrong! I'd still like to see one more MAC Championship before I leave this earth!!
