This game deserves its own blog, so I will preview the rest of the PSAC schedule in a separate entry to be published soon after this one.

Great analysis, as always! Only thing I would add is a comment on the coaching matchups and perhaps give the edge to IUP with Cigs national championship ring and Torts confounding defensive schemes. Also, special teams often play a huge roll in games like this, and I think again, IUP might have a slight advantage. Whether its enough to offset the offensive talent SHIPPENSBURG brings is something we all are looking forward to on Saturday. Thanks again for your coverage this year.

Great thoughts Chuck, and you too DIIBaby. The last stat is awesome! Ship scored 35 or more in every game this year, and IUP has never given up more than that, wow. This is going to be great.

I used 35 as a threshold just because it was very close to the season high / low for each team. Gannon scored 35 against IUP, Cal scored 26. Every other opponent was under 16. Ship's "worst" output of the year was 36 against Post, followed by 38 against Shepherd. In the other 8 games they went over 42, including five games over 50.
