If someone would have told me in September the Eastern Illinois game could end up being the most intriguing game of the Mid-Major lineup I'd thought they'd be nuts. The last game during X-mas vacation is usually a sleepwalk experience.
Getting Lindell and Solomon back along with monitoring Lards reintegration has made this game an almost must watch. That said, I doubt we will be able to really get to extrapolate into the B12 season after since each player will be re-acclimating and likely eased in. Still it'll be good to see the full roster play for the first time this season.
All I want from this game and X-mas is no set backs for LW/SY and a bit more CL plus an easy win.
Go State!!!
