This is the press release about the statue. It does not mention any live coverage of the event. Hopefully Western Athletics will post a video of the ceremony.

Yes, the Hanson statue will be live on Facebook and Twitter.

So, do we go back to the 3-4 defense for USD?

Yeah, the 3-4 is their base package and only mixed it up last week to counter the option. Plus, the 3-4 better disguises who's coming on each play, so it's harder for them to pre-game plan and pre-snap plan with Steveler.

I'd like to see more J'Len Smith on the outside and opposite Swenson. Nothing against Baxter, but we need to be as big up front as possible and Smith has that size and decent speed for a true Freshman. Steveler has killed it through the air and on the ground, but we need to focus on stopping him from moving around and making plays. Sacrifice Baxters ability to cover to limit Steveler from breaking through tackles to extend big passing plays or long runs with the middle vacated.

Key to winning will be solid tackling. Luckily we have the talent in that area with Saunders upfront, Taylor and Moon in the middle, and safeties who's strong points are tackling.

Was a fan for the most part of Bob and his staff, but felt they were fairly basic in what they wanted to do. Fisher has already shown how complex he can get and these boys have been coached up to execute, so going WIU in the coaching advantage.

I've said earlier this season that I believe we have one of if not the best D in FCS, so giving us the advantage their as well.

Offense is close as they have the best weapon in the conference and possibly all of the FCS, but our complete package has the advantage in my eyes.

WIU 38 USD 24

The 3-4 did seem to allow us to get to the quarterback awfully well.

Any reports from the team? Practices going well? Everybody healthy? I really, really, really want to win this game. (And preferably not in the last seconds)

I have no insider knowledge of how things are going in the locker room but I am confident the coaches will have the guys ready to play. This game will be a tale of two coaches. Coach Fish has held nothing back in the three games thus far with a lot of his playbook exposed. Coach N has always kept his playbook close to the vest, keeping things ultra-simple unless the situation warranted for more. I like the Coach Fish approach. Play to win, give it your best shot, hold nothing back. When it is time to come with a trick play or two, it is nice to know you have done it before and it worked. I wont be there for this game (still paying off debts from last week in Myrtle) but the main question in my mind is whether the fans will have their butts in their seats in time for opening kickoff. It is downright gross IMHO to see a bunch of stragglers slowly meandering from QLot to Hanson during the first quarter like I saw the last time I was there. These guys are giving it their all so far. The Leatherneck faithful need to step up and do the same.
