2R - Illinois St. @ #8 Central Arkansas

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

I'm not sure if SEMO forgot to stack the box or if they just got trucked last week, but a 297-yard day by Redbird RB James Robinson was still pretty impressive. Still… if ISU has to pass, they're gonna lose. UCA's run D was above average this year, but it wasn't super good like—say—Austin Peay's. The Bears did beat Austin Peay on the road, though. Anyway… this one's murky, but I'll take UCA to win a close one because they've already beaten Illinois State at home in the playoffs before.

I'd pick Illinois State. I think Central Arkansas is over rated. I think they are the third best team from the Southland yet somehow they got seeded while the two Southland teams that are better than they are did not.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
