"Shiplb54, who do you feel will be the winner since you have seen both teams play Ship?"
That is really a tough call. I know WSSU can pass well, but IUP shut down Ship's pass. I know IUP can run very well, but WSSU has great rushing defense. I know WSSU is extremely fast, but IUP's D has been tremendous all season. I know IUP is brutal and physical, but WSSU fills gaps and has BIG and FAST linebackers and Safety.
IUP's O is beasty and blew open holes and protected on pass vs. Ship. WSSU gave up some sacks and Ship got decent pressure (albeit Carothers still had great passes or speed to get away). If IUP can get pressure on Carothers -and contain him from using speed to get an edge- they will be able to have the upper-hand, but if WSSU protects well and give Carothers time, they will get the ball to #82 who will use his speed and WSSU will get the win.
