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.
Spoken like a fan. SHSU has not seen backs like Maysonet and Jackolski. The run game will not get shut down, and if SB doesn't commit T/O, I think most will be surprised at how you guys play. I wish that I could get the game on the tube, but I think I'll just listen in. There are a fair number of Liberty fans rooting for your team.
I am not discounting the Stony Brook RB's at all. Stats dont lie at what type of backs they are, but I dont people need to discount the SHSU defense. SHSU probably hasnt seen RB's this season like these RB's, but I will bet that the SB offense may be suprised by the speed of this defense too. Should be a good game. Hope to see some SB fans at Bowers on Saturday and maybe a few will stop and tailgate a little. Safe travels.
