Warning: the following statement is purely opinion-based. In terms of making the playoffs, Saturday's game is the biggest regular-season home game for Slippery Rock since Nov. 9, 2002. The only other one that comes close to meaning as much as this weekend's game does and as much as that one did in 2002 was the championship against Bloomsburg in 2014. And I wasn't on the field that day in 2014, so my vote goes to 2002.
I expect a close game Saturday. I haven't seen West Chester much this year, but undefeated is undefeated. So they'll be tough, no doubt. My question is, have they seen an offense like they one they'll see Saturday? I'm not sure they have. If the offense is clicking and the defense keeps playing as well as it has lately, I just don't think West Chester will score enough to beat us. I also think that, while it doesn't really matter at most D2 schools, we have an advantage playing this game at home. If the fans turn out like normal (I live less than an hour from West Chester, so I'll be traveling over 5 hours to be there) that will give our guys a boost. It won't be a cakewalk, but I like our chances: Slippery Rock 44-31
Go Rock!
