2008 Game By Game....
OK, bring on the pain....I'm going to try and pick how each Falcon football game will turn out---now, before the season even starts. I'll list the games, and then some explanation to follow.....
Date | Opponent / Event | Location | Time/Result |
08/30/08 | at Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh, Pa. | L |
09/06/08 | vs. Minnesota | Bowling Green, Ohio | W |
09/13/08 | at Boise State | Boise, Idaho | L |
09/27/08 | at Wyoming | Laramie, Wyo. | W |
10/04/08 | vs. Eastern Michigan | Bowling Green, Ohio | W |
10/11/08 | at Akron | Akron, Ohio | W |
10/18/08 | vs. Miami | Bowling Green, Ohio | W |
10/25/08 | at Northern Illinois | DeKalb, Ill. | L |
11/01/08 | vs. Kent State | Bowling Green, Ohio | L |
11/08/08 | at Ohio | Athens, Ohio | W |
11/21/08 | vs. Buffalo | Bowling Green, Ohio | W |
11/28/08 | at Toledo | Toledo, Ohio | W |
So, I'm saying 8-4, and 6-2 in the MAC, and as I said before, a MAC East Championship.
Here's the rationale.
I don't think we win on the road against Pitt or against Boise-----until I see otherwise, I am going to assume that their stud RBs will rack the yards up against us and control the ball enough that they win in the end.
I think Wyoming will be tough, but I'm going to take a road win there, and I'm going to hope that the Doyt Mojo works and we take Minnesota down in front of a huge crowd, much as we did against Missouri all those years ago.
In the conference, I see us losing twice. I don't think we can run the table on the road, but also think we should beat Akron and Ohio U, and that leaves a loss to Toledo or to NIU. I'm not picking us to lose to Toledo (I'm just not) so NIU it is.
At home, I think we beat everyone except Kent--there, I'm going to call for Eugene Jarvis to top 200 yards and beat us. The key game is obviously Miami, and I wrote about that earlier in the week. I'm going to figure that Miami also loses twice, and Kent loses 3 somewhere along the line, in case anyone is keeping track.
We'll check back in December to see how that worked out....
