Impressive resume for both defenses. I expect another nailbiting, defensive struggle... and hope the ball bounces our way again this game

We expect to again pound the rock for an impressive 3.3 yards per carry, and hope we can grab a couple of TDs. The team that scores 20 will likely be the winner of the game, LOL.
