OK. Lets get this started. For the playoffs in region 4. Mines looked unstoppable during RMAC play. CSUP came on strong.

I'd expect a closer game than the first one. CSUP has really come on hot during the back half of the season and the win against Black Hills was particularly impressive. However, the Orediggers have seen improvement as well. Matocha's newfound connection with Max McCloud is clear and the offensive line lead by Matty Armendariz is a powerhouse.
Mines by 17 and we'll have to see how Mankato fares in non-NSIC play when they come to Golden in two weeks.

I'm shocked that saving money was the priority.
Mines can match the athleticism of Pueblo. The last several weeks Pueblo didn't face a team that could do that. The only times they did face a team that could do so they looked rather inept. We'll see if the Pack winning streak is due to improving or due to the rest of the conference being so awful.

Well who could have seen this coming?
Hard to beat a team twice, just look at this exact scenario back in 2018. Mines won early in the season and then lost in the PO's. Different teams in different places, but CSUP is in the playoffs because they are good. They can win this game, even though Mines should be favored, or expected, to win.
This game will have a lot to do with adjustments and wrinkles made from the first game. Mines hasn't needed to make many this year and CSUP, within a game, hasn't always done well. It will definitely be interesting to see this one play out!

I thought CSUP looked pretty good in the second half the last time out. They out scored mines 14-10. Raquet looked pretty good and Austin Bacher had a few good runs. I expect CSUP is going to be much tougher this time around. Key will be slowing down Machota and Zeman the rest of the Mines offense. If Mines gets a lead early, like last time, it is going to be tough for CSUP to climb out of the hole.

Machota is #1 in the country in pass efficiency and Raquet is #2 so that will be a fun matchup to watch. Pueblo's OL will need to run block well enough to keep Mines guessing, if they become one dimensional then it's game over.
I expect Mines to run away with this one but it wouldn't be the craziest upset if Pueblo is able to come away with the win.
