ICSTR For MAC Championship Game

OK, so we have fallen a little bit behind schedule.  With the coaching stuff and some basketball.  So a couple mop-up posts on the MAC title game and then we'll spend a few days getting ready for the Pitt Panthers.

BG has now had 13 straight positive games.  Special teams have been very good this year, excelling early with big plays but then also excelling with the little things that do make a big difference.  BG was +3 and NIU -1.  At +3, it was one of BG's 3 lowest ranked games of the year, with no major plays for or against...though the onside kick certainly could have been a different story had it gone the other way. (The whole dumb thing is explained here.)
