11/25 - Western Michigan @ Ball St

[bigtendominator]

My logic makes perfect sense. Ball St is a 2nd half team. If they are up 7-10 points at half, good friggen luck trying to cover the full game spread against them. Go back and look at their results and compare their 1st half scoring to their 2nd half scoring. I have WMU+6.5 in the first half off a good amount of rest.

Yes, I know BSU has played much better in the 2nd H all year, but you think BSU being up 1 TD at the break is more difficult than WMU losing by 2 scores.

Also, if WMU is down 17 or 18 in the 4th quarter, it is very possible for a garbage score against a prevent defense to get the cover.

Two of the RBs Western Michigan likes to use, Brandon West (starter) and Glenis Thompson are questionable.

The main reason I like WMU in this game is they were able to beat a very talented Illinois team. While their defense isn't lights out, Illinois is still a Big Ten defense...Ball State is a MAC defense. Ball State got exposed by LeFevour and the CMU offense on the defensive side of the ball. It seemed as though every 3rd and 6 or 3rd and more CMU got into, they were able to convert. Hiller isn't a mobile QB like LeFevour but he can bombard that secondary. There were plays against CMU where the Ball State D was frozen and let up big pass plays.

Western Michigan D has had time to prepare for Davis and Lewis and that will be the main storyline tonight. If Lewis can dominate the Western Michigan D like he did CMU...Ball State will win by DD. He does such an amazing job controlling the clock and setting the tempo and if it wasn't for two shoe string tackles with CMU, Ball would've been up 21-7 in the first half.

From USA Today

TB Aaron Winchester stepped in for injured Brandon West and delivered a career performance in the Broncos' last game. Winchester rushed for 111 yards, caught five passes for 22 yards and started the second half by returning a kickoff 48 yards to set up a touchdown drive.

ROSTER REPORT:
--TB Brandon West missed the Broncos' last game Nov. 15 with a sprained ankle. He is expected to play Nov. 25 against Ball State.

i still think Ball State is an overrated team. Their QB is great but playing primetime, they have been playing like shit the impression that they gave to the public is simply false. Without thier high powered QB, they wouldnt even be ranked.

Do you have any other brillant insights you would like to share.

Where would Texas be without Colt McCoy? Where would OU be without Sam Bradford? Where would Okie State be without ZR?

For OU, see Paul Graham season.
For OSU, see Bobby Reid last year

Where would UF be without Tim Tebow.

Where would the Dallas Cowboys be without Tony Homo.

How many losses do the Pats have without Tom Brady?

... and the 49ers would have won 5 SBs without HOF qbs right?

Over is the best play in my opinion

And possibly the Ball State TT Over. I'm going to take a look at that number in just a little bit.

I am likeing WMU tonight. I have watched Ball State 3 times this year and gotta say i'm not that impressed. Hiller is a great QB in his own right. CMU was only other offense similiar to this one and you seen how that turned out. Also WMU def front should pressure Davis ????????

I like Ball State...

because of their hog play (OL & DL).

Ball State has 4 SR OL - one will be a NFL starter next year and 2 others will get looks by pro scouts.

is it senior night at Ball State tonight?

Also, I give an edge to Ball State's coaching - Hoke is on the verge of getting some serious looks from big conference schools.

Good luck in whatever you play.

Agree!

Whoever dominates on the OL and DL will win this one handily and get the CASH ATS!

I'm leaning to Ball State -10 (buy hook at -120)

 

[MikRetSam]

which qb has thrown for more yards, more td's and fewer int's?????????

HILLER
