They actually recruit well though, something we stopped doing at that time. Just hoping we can rattle their new starting QB and just hope to contain that white devil.

Just hoping we can rattle their new starting QB and just hope to contain that white devil.Some of our best recruiting classes were around that time. We went away from the way Bill recruited. There's tons of articles on this.
in the end, EMAW will always win.

If we know we are going to be big underdogs, I like playing a game like this off the bat. Sometimes you can catch a good team flat in their first game of the season.

Sometimes you can catch a good team flat in their first game of the season.I'd agree with that. Kind of like the Auburn game in 07 where we outplayed them for 3 1/2 quarters and a sack fumble TD clinched them the game at the end.
2004 team, did lose a lot (KU, A&M, CU, ISU) of games that we were in a position to win in fourth quarter, so the talent was not super crappy
