A lot of potential for a blowout here, though it's not a guarantee. The Pioneers have—appropriately—a Pioneer-League-level schedule. On the other hand: they also run the ball well, they lead the nation in turnover margin, and Fordham's run defense sucks. Michael Nebrich is back at QB for the Rams, though, & he's shredded everyone this year. If the Rams can contain the run early & build up a lead, it could be a rout, but we might see it come down to the wire if SHU can avoid that.
Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:
- Quarterbacks -- Fordham
Running Backs - (push)
Receivers/TEs - Fordham
Offensive Line - Sacred Heart
Defensive Line - Sacred Heart
Linebackers --- (push)
Secondary ---- Fordham
Kicking ------ Fordham
Punting ------ Fordham
Return Teams - Sacred Heart
Kickoffs ------ Fordham
- Sacred Heart 24-45 Fordham
