I am just hoping WMU can avoid the expected cmu cheap shots and come out healthly with a Bronco win.

The refs have been learning how to work rivalry games over the past couple of years. They are watching and listening to the players very closely, and calling everything early to prevent the game from getting out of hand.

The new rules regarding unsportsmanlike conduct fouls could come into play, as well. As much as I hate to regurgitate the Fleck drivel, he is right when he says we cannot let the circumstances dictate our behavior. We could have done something more than walk way two years ago when the CMU captains refused to shake hands, but, instead, we chose to dominate the second half and win that game.

Quote:They beat a ranked team that could be 2-3 after playing Texas this weekend.

Or could be a 3-2 team beating #22 Texas after a less-than-2-TD loss @ #16 Baylor.

Only reason to fear the over on this one is the potential weather issues... Thunderstorms and heavy rains could equal sloppy play... lower scores.
