Storylines: Things looked pretty bleak after the loss last week to Tarleton. However, it looks like if Tarleton wins out and CSU-PUeblo does as well, that we will be back in the playoffs. That win against Midwestern State really proved to be vital to the future of the season because had that game not gone our way, we WOULD be playing for a Bowl or probably be sitting home. That being said, the Lions need to roll this game in a convincing fashion and then get ready for West Texas A&M. That will be a HUGE game as WTAMU beat Central Washington 3 weeks ago, and we have a chance to knock them off. Not saying we should look past Western because that would not be smart, but staying focused means good Football all around. Let’s wrap this thing up.
