Maybe I failed to explain myself. My point is that I don't understand how someone can believe that we will get destroyed.
Their success seems to predicated on a high scoring offensive attack that has not played a formidable defense this season. On paper, we are a much better defense than anything they have played this season, not the otherwise.
Now maybe we are fake, or maybe Mike Love, Bruce Hector, Deadrin Senat, and Greg Reaves, as advertised, decide to play the game on their side of the line of scrimmage. If the latter happens, which I believe has a real chance of being true, their offense would stall, and they haven't proven that they can win a grind-it-out game. Navy came close, but when their starter went down, they couldn't score either.
Again, I don't think you can just assume that we will get destroyed. They haven't proven they can beat us. This is on top of the fact that it's a rivalry game and anything can happen.
That's just my two cents
