The board is overlooking Ball State.
- Thread starter fkkkjm
- Start date
There’s been plenty of coverage & analysis of Ball State by the BWI staff on the premium board, which I believe is still free for awhile longer. Is there a ton of discussion, not really but enough considering who we’re playing IMO.
We are not looking past anyone. We need a couple of games for the offense to grasp new system and guys on defense to understand their assignments.
let’s go state

Ball State is for real. They could’ve been ranked and were a Bowl Team last year. I think Franklin knows it and the confidence coming off last week will be too much. I don’t think they cover the 22 pt spread though. Offense probably still needs a few weeks.
Not a bad post considering it’s never a bad idea to temper expectations around here so the Chicken Lils don’t cluck too much.

Who cares if we cover the spread? If we win it is not going to matter by the end of the season
At least my pitt posts are about college football and about a team we recently played. At least 75% of the posts on this forum have nothing even tangentially to do with football.
Nobody. It’s simply a unit of measurement to compare against. I think we’re getting a little more credit than we deserve. 1 game is not enough of a runway to determine how good a team is gonna be IMO.
I take nothing for granted. Coming off the huge win against a tough opponent. Looking ahead to a marquis game against an SEC power. Classic scenario for a letdown.
Plus Ball State may be from a lesser conference, but they're not a team you can beat by just showing up...unlike Villanova in a couple weeks.
That said, if we're focused, D sets the tone again, and we win with room to spare.

I hope fkkkjm was able to enjoy this nailbiter!!! Don’t forget to check under your bed for the boogeyman LOL!!!

I think the Balls were a decent opponent. They had better than average QB and solid secondary.
They had the right defensive game plan in terms of denying big plays in the passing game, but I think we missed on a pair of throws that could have been TD ‘s.
PSU did not turn the ball over, again, while our defense forced two and got a defensive TD off of one.
In the end, the Balls were waxed.

I’m eating crow and loving it. No overlooking the BSU today. Came out looking sharp. Defense swarms. Still not comfortable with OL play. Where is Lovett? We need some RB speed to go with Cain and Lee. Good to see Roberson in there. Thought it should have been earlier but... not much else to nit pick. Great day all around. A very good win leading up to the White Out.
