[QUOTE="GT33, post: 817754, member: 5550"] I really don't understand all the fearfulness about playing NIU? Do we really have that many fans that lack confidence in our team to perform as expected? We'd had one really bad loss in the last 2 seasons, maybe 4 other bad losses if you count the VT shutout & Clemson and Dwag blowout games, but most other games we weren't awful, just not competitive. Geez, I wish we could put CGC & his staff's early struggles behind us and stop using that as a measuring stick to figure out how poorly we may play. NIU has a few good players, but most of their team we would not offer a scholarship to. They were a good program Our strength and conditioning program has been revitalized and our football players now look like P5 football players should. We have better coaches, better facilities, better everything and our players are smarter plus we have great depth. We're not playing in the noon heat where someone may cramp up and let a big play happen. We're good under the lights historically. What's not to like about the set up of this game? I'll say it again, GT wins by at least 24. It may very well end up a 49 point blowout, but I believe CGC gets everybody in the game he can including those so far below the line they can't even see where the line is. The only back up we don't use is the punter because the starting punter is not put into the game unless we're using him to hold the ball on extra points. There will be immense joy on the Flats and everyone except the couple NIU fans on hand to witness the slaughter will go home happy. Maybe my previous 3 sentences are an exaggeration, but we win this one easily and we will see quite a bit of the roster used in mop up duty. [/QUOTE]
