Today is the day! Before the season started, due to the changes in the coaching staff and Miklo needing time to knock the rust off at qb, I posted that I was looking for Commerce to make a deep playoff run this year with Natty aspirations next year. Mission accomplished on that.
However, after watching the way the defense has taken it to another level over the last 5 weeks and the way Smalls has been exerting his will, I'm thinking they are at least as good as anyone left standing. Today I expect them to continue to contain the running game, and if they can score early then get pressure on the qb they should be able to get it done today. They must keep someone between WR Zylstra and the end zone and not let him hurt them.
I'm thinking it will be Commerce 27 - Mankato 24.
