Originally posted by D2FootballFanatic View PostHow do these two teams match up? Anyone wanna talk about the game? LR a run first team, do not know a lot about UWF but saw how easily they seemed to move the ball at the end of the game against VSU. UWF a heavy pass team? How does LR match up with that? Curious about this one.
LR fans believe we will be able to stop WF from scoring enough points to outscore us, and do not think they can matchup with us defensively. We expect a high scoring game, as WF does have the receivers to take advantage of LR's largest weakness, which is deep pass defense with large WRs. LR fans also believe their freshman QB may have some problems when he is continuously hit by Artis & Co.
WF fans believe that they will be able to use their size at WR to spread out the LR defense, then use the run game combine with the pass game to wear us down. They believe that they will be able to use their size to matchup defensively with us and slow down/stop our offense, as they've had success against the run this year.
Hard to predict this one there isn't many similar opponents to use for comparison, only CN and Valdosta, but that was to start the season, and last season.

QUOTE " Oh I think Minn State is the real deal, they just have a lower SOS than LR does, thats why I believe we have the edge there".
I'm trying to figure out this SOS comparison. Aside from a win over the CIAA's Virginia Union, Lenoir Rhyne has only defeated 2 teams in the regular season who had winning records. The SAC had 3 teams that finished the regular season with winning records. Minnesota State (11-0) defeated 6 teams with winning records The NSIC had 9 teams that finished the season with winning records.

I believe when they reseed for the Final 4 the playoff games are added to the SOS metric. Will definitely be interesting to see what they do if the three 1's and LR advance. Will they go with a true Final 4 or will they take the cheap route and pair Ferris v Minn St and LR v Slippery Rock.

QUOTE: "Also if the SAC consisted of 12 teams there would be more teams with a winning record."
With that being said, based on percentages, over half of the NSIC teas had winning records, while (especially if you include alliance member UNCP) the SAC had less than a third of their teams finish with a winning record.

Slippery Rock should be coming to LR if both win. We are both two seeds and LR is ranked higher than SR. In both polls. NDC is a three seed and has a loss. I think LR IF we win should be a two or three seed. Two seed if Commerce wins and a one seed if last four are NDC Tex NWMS LR. Same would apply if Rock wins.

On a side note, if WF wins, we'd probably get a true final 4 because everyone would be all over the country anyways.

Rock is a 1 seed and the coaches poll doesn't matter, their SOS, SOR, and OWP are higher than ours, and will remain that way. I really don't think they're going to anyways though, but we'll see. We also need Ferris or MSU to lose to be comfortable that we'll get a home game. I think our chances are less than they are more.
