It's clear that WMU must get pressure on Roback, whether they get sacks or not, they need to make him uncomfortable and rushed. He can be picked off. TOP and turnovers will likely play a big part today, as they do in most games. Get an early lead and put pressure on EMU to score on every possession in order to stay in the game. They're improved but not there yet.
