1) There are several mid week MAC games this week, with only one game being played on Saturday. Which game are you most looking forward to watching or has the most interesting matchup? OU @ Buffalo (Tuesday). Toledo @ CMU (Wednesday). BGSU @ Miami (Thursday). Ball State @ NIU ( Thursday). Temple @ Akron (Friday). WMU @ EMU (Saturday).
TFF: Well, since all but one of the games have been played, I'll pick Temple at Akron.
2) Bernard Pierce of Temple is only a Freshmen yet is the only one in the conference with over 1,000 yards rushing to date (1,211) good for 3rd in the nation. He has found the end zone 14 times already and has not yet fumbled or turned the ball over. Does Pierce have an amazing offense line or should we expect this from him for 2-3 more years?
TFF: Both. He's got the moves, the speed (PA. State champ in both the indoor 60 and outdoor 100 meters) and his offensive line is pretty young. The freshman who are redshirted on the OL were more heralded recruits, generally, than the guys on the current line.
3) This is a sore subject for some teams (IE - Buffalo, Toledo) but discuss the major injuries your team has endured this season and what your projected outcome WOULD HAVE BEEN if everyone was healthy. We expect 100% homerism.
TFF: Aside from a linebacker, Alex Joseph, who has been playing with about as bad a foot injury as you can have and still play, the Owls have been pretty lucky.
4) Outside of the MAC, which other college program(s) most closely mirrors your respective MAC school ? Who's performance / problems / coaching / etc. is similar ?
Rutgers. Close by. Same recruiting area. Similar coaches (great recruiters, still learning the gameday aspect). Both large state schools.
5) If you could reorganize the MAC divisions, how would you see it divided to better promote competition, rivalries, recruiting, etc. ? What groupings would you like to see ? (Can be any number of divisions)
I'd keep it the same and beg and conjole Army to join.
