WKU: how do we match up?

[Flowers4Heisman]

I tried to re-watch their game with S. Miss but have you tried ESPN3 lately?

Anyway, I found this. 2015-10-24 Western Kentucky at No. 5 LSU No Huddle

This is probably the best match up we could possibly get. A chance to beat a ranked team.

If we play the way we have been playing we will win going away...

WKU reminds me of Cincy but with a better defense.

This could be an awesome game.

I think it's a really interesting game. Tough to predict.

(1) I think we've got a really good bowl opponent. IMO, a ranked opponent is better than a 6-win P5. And don't forget they are the C-USA Champs.

(2) Their QB is like Gunner from Cincy. He could be hot or cold. And they have a big back that can hurt you if he gets through the line.

(3) They have pretty good size on both sides of the ball, so we can't push them around.

(4) I think what we have is the speed. If we don't make 3-stooges mistakes, we have the edge in this game. I think Vegas is going to favor them by 3.5 points.
