Not sure I would consider DePauw a favorable home game. They are much better than usual this year. Took JCU to the wire. They have an explosive offense and a top 10 run defense. I think UWP got a better draw than UWW.

I agree DePauw is a tough draw.

A question for you as you follow closely (or Pat if he sees this): I am a bit confused about something I thought I heard on the ATN podcast. I thought Pat asked why DePauw has to travel to UWW. In the NPI rankings I see, UWW is 18 and DePauw is 21.

I'm sure I'm missing something, any idea?

DePauw @UWW seems pretty straight forward to me based on NPI. Pat would know more than me....

The NPI makes perfect sense there and I don't recall raising a question.

NCC2010--Maloney is a freshman and primarily a passer. And he's comparable to Blaha? Tough to believe. And unless I missed something, MU has one sophomore qb and all the rest are freshmen. Also tough to believe.

As a UMU fan I'll chime in here. Maloney is a redshirt freshman (medical waiver from last year) he's a dual threat guy, but makes more plays with his arm than legs. This is the most excited the Purple Raider fan base has been about a QB in a long time. To the point we're all worried about him getting an offer from a bigger school.

More favorable than d3football's projection. Which was @ SJU I think.

Like I also said, I'm in no way saying UWW wins. This could be another Rockford first round matchup like a few years ago where they smoked us at the Perk.

Like I also stated in that post, I'm in no way saying UWW wins. This could very well be another first round game like a few years ago when Aurora came to town. they beat us pretty good. Wouldn't be surprised if that happens again.
