UNI is a tough opponent. As much optimism as I’ve had for this new regime and this team, I have to admit that this game scares me. First, it is the Super Bowl. I know our guys will be geeked, but that only lasts until you get hit the first time. Second, UNI knows it is the Super Bowl and they will come to play — they always do. Third, UNI is well coached, experienced, disciplined, and they are not over matched physically in this contest (see Appalachian State).
Not that anyone cares particularly much about my football sensibilities, but since I have the forum, I thought I would share a few things that I will be watching for in this game.
