For all the speed they had on defense, they were all out on stopping the power run and jet sweep.
I swear my blood boiled more watching the game the second time around and I still wholeheartedly disagree with Anish that JMU was that much better (I believe he said 8 out of 10 times they would win). I hope there's a rematch this season and I don't care where or when, but I expect a Bison arse-whopping reckoning in epic proportions. I also hope that Deluca and Tanguay are healthy for the game.
I can't wait for the season to begin!!!
