Kind of a pick your poison game for the Boilermakers. My gut feeling is you can't have their RB run all over you and expect to be around in the 4th quarter, ergo, you have to stop him early, often, and late. He will kill your morale, your DBs, and your LBs, if he gets going.
Despite Morgan throwing for something like 101-103 in passing against us, I'd play odds he will throw at least 2 more incompletes more than his usual 1 or 2 incompletes in a game. They don't have their money receiver so maybe their are some drops, bobbles, bounces, fumbles, or errant tosses? Better than getting bulldozed by the big "I" all game long.
Our O and spacial teams truly need to be almost perfect and clean to have a chance. Move chains, keep ball control away from their O and make every freakin' special teams play - including but not limited to making all FG attempts inside 42 yards, downing some punts inside their 15, and not kicking the KOs out of bounds. A lot to ask. Too much to ask, probably. They are not coached well at all.
This team has talent, has coaching, but has pissed it away with bad play, poor execution, bad scemes, and stupid, avoidable penalties. So frustrating to watch them play stupid football. Stop the stupid and we have a chance. Continue and head to College Park at 2-3.
Best way to shut up Row-Your-Boat? Beat his ass. Otherwise, you're just chum in their wake.
