One Day More

Today's the day. Let's hope our team exceeds expectations, wins the big road game, gets help in Athens, and moves on to the MAC Championship game. We've had this game circled all year (although we didn't expect to be 5-4 when we got here). We have only won one game against a team with a winning record on the road in the Brandon/Meyer era. We need to make it today.

"To be a champion, you've got to play and win a game like this," Brandon said. "We've talked with our team about it. We need to go on the road with a hostile environment, quality opponent, big conference game, and win that game."

Here's the latest from the Blade on what the QB situation is:

In practice last weekend, Jacobs and redshirt freshman Anthony Turner took the same amount of snaps. Turner is still recovering from bruised ribs and a left shoulder strain suffered in the Kent State game.

"Neither one of them are 100 percent," Brandon said yesterday. "It's a game-time decision based on who we think is throwing the best and who we think can fight through some of the physical problems that they're fighting right now."

Miami coach Shane Montgomery said the RedHawks "fully expect Omar Jacobs to play."

"Knowing the competitor that he is and what he means to that team, we fully expect to see him out there," Montgomery said.
