We did this one a little out-of-order, so that we could add our Media Days thoughts on the front end of a pod where we knew we'd be talking a little less about the team...
...which NO ONE should read as a slight against Eastern Illinois, our FCS opponent, since this game ALMOST ALWAYS turns into a house of horrors.
Just like 2023 NU, 2023 EIU was a well-coached team led by its conference's Coach of the Year.
Does Eastern have a Jimmy G or Romo under center this time? Certainly not. Do we have a massive talent advantage? Of course. But EIU had the #1 scoring D in their conference because they were great at forcing turnovers. This one could be a walk in the park...or, you know, it could be like every other FCS game...
