[QUOTE="GT33, post: 816101, member: 5550"] Honestly, this is pretty funny. By the 2nd quarter the handwriting will be on the wall. The only way this game is close is if we come out completely undisciplined and Patenoude tries a bunch of weird plays. Not likely to happen after the Citadel debacle as him & Thacker are probably one more embarrassing disaster away from taking the pipe. CGC had to have learned his lesson & either CGC himself or Key will take over the offense or defense at the half should that occur. We'll still roll NIU even if that's the case. Sims development has been tremendous & he's bolstered by a RB corps that damn near any P5 team not named Alabama would want. You got Jamyr Gibbs an NFL potential 1st round draft pick, you got an All-ACC Rb (Mason) as back up, and then there's little to no drop off behind them as Griffin & Smith would tear you up. Add to that multiple upgrades on the OL & you got an offense that NIU just won't stop. We'll score 56 so to keep it close you'll have to either have a bunch of turnovers giving you a short field or our D will have to unravel before our eyes. Turnovers is the only likely scenario because we're just too talented on D to let NIU manhandle us. Maybe you score 35 & we all leave Bobby Dodd pissed at Thacker OR Patenoude tinkers around too much and we want to skewer him after the game but there's no way both if these things happen the same day. It's likely a 56-17, possibly 49-24 type day. Enjoy Atlanta if you're coming down. It's a fun town, but this football game is not going to be fun at all for NIU. [/QUOTE]
