I am excited as hell that UW is 4-2. I think the AFA game will be a great measuring stick for where we are as a program. Are we feasting on weaker opponents and home games? or are we capable of beating a good bowl caliber team that doesn't make mistakes on the road? or are we a little of both?
I respect coach Calhoun and the AFA program (its the only MWC school my son or daughter could consider other than WYO), but we are due to beat the Falcons. The last couple years they have benefitted from bad (Wynel at AFA '07) to questionable (Wynel vs AFA '08-intentionally tripping should have been called instead of being allowed to kick it out of his hands) fumble calls. These have been close, tense games in the past and I expect another. I just think this year, we will move the ball a little better, score more points, the RBs better hang on to the damn ball, and protect our defense a little better. Our run D vs AFA has been pretty good the last couple yrs, we seem to give up big plays late after the D has been on the field all game. I think this yr the seniors finally feel what it is like to beat AFA. GO POKES!!!!!
