Let's get it ON!

This game initially scared me a lot. For a HALF I see a relatively low scoring first half as our offense struggles in the red zone. Halftime Score: WVU 16, GSU 3

We come out of the half on fire. A 35 point 3rd quarters seals the deal. Cap on a 4th quarter field goal. GSU's offense does better, but can't keep up the pace as WVU plays a lot of young players late.

WVU 54, GSU 20 FINAL

GSU's TD's come in the 4th quarter against our young 2nd and 3rd teamers.

NOTE: Before GSU's QB could not play, I thought this was going to be a scary close game. IF, and it is a big IF, GSU's offense gets rolling, it could be much closer. But I don't think a second team QB has a shot against our defense THIS SEASON.

I expect Georgia Southern will enjoy a good deal of success. One of the nation's top rushing teams last year with a ton of motion and misdirection.

One of WVU's weaknesses last year was consistently stopping the run game.

If WVU can create some TO's and convert them into TD's... I will be happy. I believe their defense will struggle to stop our passing game. Their secondary is their weak link, and they'll have some inexperienced kids getting their first taste of big time Saturday night.

Game should be a lot tighter than what the Vegas oddsmakers predict...

All the talk about GS's offense proves to be just that, talk. They struggle to score till our reserves get in against our experienced defense and finish with 13 points.

Our passing game gets going against their inexperienced secondary, and our backs get running down field as our offense puts up 37 points, and to everyone's surprise our punt team returns a kick for a Touchdown.

Final score WVU 44 GS 13

Yes I'm drinking the koolaid or Redbull........

CoolBeans wins so far at the half, hope the rest of your prediction turns out

Looks like Mike is now the winner with 3 minutes left, with the exception of the 13 for GS
