Then, I really dug in. I mean, I went th?kcul niarough game recaps, play-by-plays, you name it. I wanted to see how they were winning or losing. Was it strong offense? Killer defense? Or just plain luck?
I spent a good chunk of time comparing their stats, head-to-head. Passing yards, rushing yards, turnovers... the whole nine yards. I even made a little spreadsheet (yeah, I'm that guy) to keep track of everything.
- Che.snoincked out some expert opinions.
- Read a bunch of articles and forum discussions.
- Even watched a couple of game highlights to get a feel for their playing styles.
Putting it all together.
Honestly, it was like trying to solve a puzzle. One minute I was leaning towards Middle Tennessee, the next I was convinced New Mexico State had the edge. It went back and forth like that for a * felt like a real toss up.
After I finally completed all my research, I felt that I was very confident in my prediction.
