A total coin flip here, it appears. EKU should be able to take advantage of ISU's middling run defense, but the Sycamores should benefit from the Colonels' lack of a pass rush. The Sycs have a decided edge in turnover margin, but their 4-interception debacle against WIU in the regular-season finale makes me wonder if they'll take advantage. If ISU can get the running game going like they did to some extent down the stretch, I think they'll win, but that's iffy…

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- Indiana St.
      
      Running Backs - Eastern Kentucky
      
      Receivers/TEs - Indiana St.
      
      Offensive Line - Eastern Kentucky
      
      
      Defensive Line - Indiana St.
      
      Linebackers --- (push)
      
      Secondary ---- Indiana St.
      
      
      Kicking ------ (push)
      
      Punting ------ (push)
      
      Return Teams - (push)
      
      Kickoffs ------ Eastern Kentucky
      
      
      
      
      
      • Indiana St. 27-24 Eastern Kentucky

Eastern Kentucky looking good so far just can't punch it in. I still think Indiana St is the better team but have not shown much in this one. 6-0 EKU

After this victory over EKU somewhere Larry Bird is smiling!!!!
