O.G. said
Looks like their offense have a little catching up to do too. Sort of like ours. But I still like our defensive chances vs their offense.
Hopefully our O will keep it going from last week.
And I like our defense's chances against your offense.
Check this out.
Stats obtained from FoxSports:
–Scoring Defense
*MTSU gives up an average of 18 points per game which is ranked and tied 22nd in the nation with the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
*FAU gives up 33 points per game tied with Missouri at 101st in the nation.
–Rushing Defense
*MTSU has given up a total of 489 yards on the ground in four games which amounts to 122.3 yards per game. That ranks 41st in the nation.
*FAU gives up an average of 235.3 yards per game which is ranked 118th out of 119 Division 1-A schools. Only North Texas is ranked lower.
#Sidenote: MTSU freshman runningback Alex Suber will play Saturday. The former Tampa-Jefferson standout was injured in the game against UNT and hasn't played since.
–Passing Defense
*MTSU gives up on average 224.5 yards per game from the air. That's 57th in the nation. MTSU's secondary was ranked dead last in the nation last season.
*FAU give up 174.5 yards per game passing. Good enough to put the Owls secondary as the #22 best unit in the nation
If Florida Atlantic is to beat us they will have to do it from the air. Danny Embick has never had success against MTSU, so I like our chances.
Expect to see the Raiders run it alot. With Suber back in, it'll make FAU's line second guess who the ball is going to–Suber or Gross.

Let's just throw out the stats and records. We all know that they came from OOC games with untested youngsters. You can't measure heart and intensity. Not even a Vegas Insider can pull that one off. This is two (almost)equal teams battling it out on the field. You have the experience but at least, now FAU is playing someone their own size.
It does make a difference.
