It comes down to the last week of the season to see if the Mules will win an outright conference title or share it with the mighty Bearcats. What are one's thoughts on the game? Will UCM get their first outright conference title since 1988? Which coincidentally is the last year the conference conference didn't have Pitt State.
A mule win should give them a first round bye but would guarantee them a home playoff game. their first since 2010. A loss, secures them a playoff game but not necessarily a home playoff game.
The mules defense has improved over the course of the year but an injury to Kolesen Crane yesterday, the only senior on the defense, will hurt. Can this young group of mule defenders stop the run and force NW to throw without selling out? Can the Mules offense under Bolles effectively move the ball with a mixture of run/pass which has historically been a struggle against NW? Two years ago the Mules got burned late to allow NW to come back and win. Last year without Bolles the game was over before it even started and the Mules darn near had their consecutive game scoring streak end.
Is this the year of the Mule? Will Bolles 3.0 wins one in the 'Ville to give 'Boda his first conference title and the Mules their first undefeated regular season? I say YES.
