No one has mentioned special teams. In a close game with few points scored (I think what most of us expect), special teams could be key. I think both kickers are good; Dieterle is 7 of 9 (long of 52) and Sampson is 12/13 inside 49 yards. While Hohensee is better at pinning opponents deep, he can uncork one occasionally. Our kick coverage is pretty solid in what I have seen this season (Hohensee's hang time helps in punt coverage). Seems like we haven't blocked as many kicks as we sometimes do. I can think of a blocked punt vs Pitt and a blocked FG against Southern (I think), but maybe I am forgetting some? Donadelle is definitely a threat and Tatum is solid.
Ferris fans, did I read right that your leading receiver is also your punter?

We have three different punters with substantial game experience we can loan you. One is also a RB and was a first team all state QB in HS; one is also a safety and was a first team all state RB in HS; the third is just a punter, but he's usually the best of the bunch. They have experience in all kinds of punting formations (one punter, two punter, three punter, etc), so they should be able to adapt at a moment's notice.

THREE multi-position punters in formation? Wow, I thought Ferris's punting was prolific with one! I'm dialing Annese right now, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Weather appears that it will not be a factor today so no excuses for either team. So who comes out and smacks whom in the face first? Can someone take the opening drive down the field and score? Can Ferris not turn the ball over and give NW a short field or a defensive score?
Ferris 24 - NW 13 with Ferris scoring late to put things away.
