3 questions heading into Central Michigan

Can the Eagles defense hold Dan LeFevour?
The dual-threat senior has four years of experience under his belt and his playing the best football of his career right now. He is a much different player than the one BC saw as a true freshman playing in his first collegiate game back in 2006 (even though he still scored 3 tds). LeFevour has thrown for 16 touchdowns and is the leading rusher with 522 yards and another 9 scores on the ground. He has completed 70% of his passes this season and has committed just 4 turnovers. He is big (6'3, 228 pounds) and tough to bring down (sacked just 9 times in 8 games this season). LeFevour is the entire offense for CMU so keeping him in check is a must.

Will BC avoid the hangover?
A tough loss to rivals Notre Dame and the sudden announcement of two transfers have made it tough for the team to focus. They must re-group quickly and get back on the winning track against a talented OOC opponent. BC is looking to get their 6th win and become bowl-eligible as well as keep their undefeated home season alive.

Who will get the extra carries at in the backfield?
With Haden now out of the picture we have to wonder who will get his carries. McCluskey got some carries last week. Finch has been playing well in his time on the field. Smith is the veteran of the group and has the best top end speed, but has yet to prove he has the vision and patience to be a consistent back. My guess is that Harris will get some extra work with McCluskey and Finch filling in when necessary.

weather.com made the point to post a "WINDY" logo for 3 PM tomorrow. Running game might be a big factor (wish we had Finch) and could help us contain D.LF.
