I was thinking about this as well. We're looking at PM thunderstorms right now. If it's raining, our ground game is going to run all over Murray, and they have no run game to speak of.

If Mother Nature interferes, we could see a blowout in Kzoo.

What's everyone thinking the crowd will look like?

A typical really great homeopener crowd due the win, homeopener, and decent showing vs Purdue?
Not very good due to the season last year and possible rain (I actually don't think the crowds were too bad last season for a 1-11 season save the game vs Ball St)?

Obviously weather always plays a big role. If it could stay like it is today I think we'll be fine. A light rain probably won't deteriorate anyone either.

Quote:If the Turnover Differential is 0,

WMU 28, Murray State 10

That's a pretty low scoring game. So we score 2 TDs less than we did against @Idaho? And less than @Purdue, too?

But to be fair, if it's pouring rain out -- that would make it a lower scoring game for both teams. However, it'd hurt their O more than ours.

Quote:For every turnover, adjust the spread by...8? What do you think Todd?

Ehh, I'd say just shy of a TD, not just over a TD, notably if it's raining out. TomAto, tOmato... clitOrus, clitorUs.

I hope things stay dry enough to break the 25K mark in attendance on Saturday.

How about the 35k mark? WMU's done it before on opening night.

Ironically, I won't be at the game unless the weather is bad. Kids are scheduled to race that night, so unless there is a rain out that is where I will be.

Darn, wait 4 weeks for the home opener and then still end up missing it.

I think we will score more because I believe we should be on the right side of the turnover battle. But if we aren't...

I will be disappointed if we turn the ball over and win by 14 points or less.

I'm changing my Expected score:
WMU: 42
Murray Bicycles: 24

That's asking a lot, but like how you're thinking. We were coming off a MAC Championship Game appearance then, not a 1-11 campaign.

Sounds like a pretty big thunderstorm! And bad special teams by WMU (which wouldn't be a shocker).

I will be really concerned about the team performance if the score ends up 31-28 and the Broncos squeak one out.Its looking like Franklin will get his points this year no matter what. His biggest challenges will be Vtech and NI.

The best thing about finally having a running game you can lean on is that you can use clock... you can extend drives when you get short 3rd downs... This is also great for keeping the defense OFF the field longer which is another thing that we couldn't do with consistency last year... we had a gassed defense by halftime in most games...

Not looking good at all for Saturday night's forecast.

WWMT saying potential severe thunderstorms with damaging winds could start around 5:00 p.m. and last until midnight.

Franklin will end up with more rushing yards by himself (297) than the team has passing yards (244).
Whether or not the weather is bad Murray State will get a regular dose of Franklin. But because the Broncos defense isn't really good they willmbe able to keep it close.

WMU - 56
Murray State - 45

Attendance: 27, 200

Doubt if 27k are going to show up to see WMU team with two wins in two years vs. a mediocre FCS team on a night with bad weather forecast.

2-0 or 39-38, so long as we win.
