Someone posted in one of the other threads that ECU is not Alabama, that's correct. But this is a monster game for our season. I don't think we can underestimate how everything tilts uphill for us in this game. Revenge factor, being on the road, ranked team, etc.
We match up well defensively and if both teams play to their strengths, it should be very entertaining. We need to win the battle at the line of scrimmage and control the tempo. This will keep our defense fresh and their offense off the field. I would love to see us get the ball to Thomas in space and utilize Patton over the middle of the field. We're going to have to take a shot or two deep to keep 9 guys out of the box.
We're going to have to pile up yards on the ground and P.J. needs to be turnover free. Our defense is also going to have to get to the quarterback and create a couple turnovers i.e. sack/fumble, tipped pass.
I have a feeling that a late turnover wins this game. Someone other than Jahad needs to have a special day on offense. Winning on Thursday night would set North Broad Street off in a frenzy.
Go Owls!
