I think this is a HUGE game for both teams. The biggest between these two teams since I have been following DII football.
After seeing Angelo give up so many big play yards last week, and West Texas giving up ground yards, this is going to be a VERY TOUGH match-up! It will come down to which teams defense tightens up and who winds the trench battle. Classic match up in the trenches.....Angelo D has the most sacks in the LSC and West Texas OL leads in allowing the fewest sacks.
TO WIN: First win the battle in the trenches. Angelo MUST ground and pound....make it a PURE slobber-knocker!!! Get the RBs into the passing game as well. Short & steady passing and hard-nosed running to keep the West Texas D on the field as long and as much as possible. Defensively, Angelo needs to stop the big plays and force West Texas into 3 and outs. Gerber had a 95.89 rating last week....so, the Angelo D, who is leading the LSC in INTs, must make some big plays and get takeaways.
TO WIN: First win the battle in the trenches. West Texas must establish the run game and NOT abandon it early. Keep at it until they start controlling the trenches. Then Gerber will have his shots down field. Defensively, West Texas needs to make Angelo pass deep as much as possible to cause 3 and outs. WNMU did this and Sullins Pass Rating was 89..58. West Texas needs to make Angelo beat them with the pass, because Angelo can put 200+ yards on you in the run game.
This is just my two cents worth from what i have seen thus far.
This is GOING TO BE a game remembered!! Not too many may realize it right now, but this game will have more implications than TAMUC @ Tarleton.
Heck, I might have to change my plans and go to Canyon instead of Stephenville.
