What I would give to watch some Tuesday night MACtion right about now...

[Jiggafini19Deux]

He was obviously overmatched, but what a play caller.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

From what I could tell, it looks like the Huskies are predicted to finish anywhere between 3-5 in the MAC, with an O/U win total of 6.5 games (which is tied with BGSU and Ohio).

Miami (OH) is the favorite to repeat as MAC Champion, followed by Toledo, depending on the source. They did play NW tough last week, FWIW.

Let's go NIU

If they win out, do we get to consider them a good loss?

 

[NDpendent]

If they win out, do we get to consider them a good loss?

It would be pretty crazy if NIU ends up being the highest ranked team we play

You monster! 11 of the 12 MAC teams are located in EST, and the one team that isn't is playing in North Carolina this week!

SAT, OCT 5

UMASS	@	NIU	11:00AM CBSS	Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium,DeKalb, IL	NIU -17.5
WMU	@	BALL ST	1:00PM ESPN+	Scheumann Stadium,Muncie, IN	WMU -9.5

BGSU	@	AKRON	2:30PM ESPN+	InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field,Akron, OH	BGSU -14.5

• NIU is on a two game losing streak since the incident. This should get them back on track.
• WMU and Ball State are not Akron or Kent State bad, but they're both 1-3 and the next tier up.
• Miami OH got a win and is done punching above their weight. So they get Toledo. Should be a great game.
• Bowling Green has lost three in a row. A loss to Akron and the seat starts getting hot again.

[Huntr]

Jason Candle gets an extension.

I'd bet someone asked permission to speak with him.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Good for him. I have no idea how or why he's hasn't moved on yet, but this is a good move for both parties, especially Toledo.

247 and On3 didn't have a star ranking for him as a recruit. Can't find him on Rivals.

Going to the battle of I-75, Toledo vs BGSU after the ND game is over today.

Quite literally the biggest game in all of college football every year.

I'm a resident of Ohio, but I cannot abide by such blasphemy! It is a good rivalry though.
