I really hope all these predictions come true with WCU emerging victorious.
I have not been to any of the practice sessions, so I have no first hand knowledge of how our team looks
However, WCU lost 49-17 to EKU last season. What makes everyone so confident that we will be able to win?
Again, I hope WCU can win this game, but I need to see the team play before I can make a decision on their abilities and the new coaching staff

WCU 33 EKU 30
My prediction, the team is much better than last year on offense and defense. First game, Kerwin and Kade are pumped and ready to get back into coaching, WCU players are excited and will be highly motivated. EKU does not have any game film on Kerwin Bell's version of WCU, and looking at last years footage of WCU or Kerwin's years at Valdosta St will not really help them plan to stop our offense or how to trick our defense. They will have to use Valdosta St footage to get an idea of Kerwin's tendencies, and about the only thing they can really guess at is Rogan Wells tendencies as he was at Valdosta St and Tusculum and being coached by either Kerwin or Kade. But beyond that, we are a mystery.
However, first game, new offense, new defense, it is likely to be a little sloppy at times for us as it will be action time and there might be some 1st game jitters and confusion.
However, after EKU, Oklahoma when we get into conference play against likely a good team in Samford, that is when there will be film on us enough for Samford to be able to use, so by that time that is when we are going to literally have to play better, smart and hope we are beginning to click or its gonna be tough. I am figuring we will have some struggles about this game (beat Gardner-Webb) and struggle most of October before we finally click.
So again, I predict a back and forth game (probably a sloppy game) but enough good coaching, coaching calls and EKU getting confused on this teams new identity to be able to pull this one out.

I think the players will be highly motivated to play hard and win this game for Coach Bell...Plus this should be a sell-out...Maybe standing room only I hope...The only thing that concerns me is I hope the players don't look ahead to the Oklahoma game and lose there focus on EKU....After saying that I still think Western will win 24-14 in a close game most of the way....
