Just because SHSU only faced on RB that had over 700 yds doesnt mean a thing.  Over half the teams in the SLC throw the ball a lot too.  Tx State has some very good RB's and they got shut down.  The thing about the SHSU defense is that their base defense already has 6-7 guys crowding the line of scrimmage and they are able to do that because the secondary plays incredible man defense.  Not to mention, they constantly rotate players in and out .  Not saying SB running backs wont get some yards, but I promise you this defense will be ready for the run attack.

I don't know much it'll help but Stony Brook sees opposing teams crowd the line of scrimmage every week. My guess is that we play a lot of multiple tight end sets and we'll just try to push you guys around, 4 yards and cloud of dust type offense. That's what I think we'll need to do if we're going to win. I'm excited for the game. I have no idea how it will turn out, but I'm excited to see how our run offense and defense can do against the best run d and a top 10 run offense.  It should be a good measuring stick as to where we are as a program.
