Great assessment C12. Hopefully we can get a win for the 1st time in decades!

GO KERNS!

I was surprised how we closely we ranked with them. I was really shocked that Morrissey was as highly ranked as he was in the FCS.

IF we can turn off turnovers we have a shot. That's a big if though.

I hope that 0 point redzone trip after the special teams takeaway doesn’t come back to bite us.
