What's the probability Page goes 3-0 to start conference play? I think a lot higher than most people thought at the beginning of the season. The Pirates are light years ahead of where they were just 3-4 weeks ago. The coaching on Alma Pinnix Drive is starting to pay big dividends. I don't think Northwest has a big depth advantage in this one. I do think it will be a close game. Coming in NW is the favorite, I'd presume by 7-10 points by the ratings websites. Page coming in as a 7 point dog makes them even hungrier.

This was definitely a coming out party for Page. Coming in we were the underdog and won by 21 points. In a contest that wasn't really that close. Page was on the 10 yardline with about 2 mins left in the game, and could have made it 41-13.
The story of the game was Page playing tough, physical and setting the tone against a NW team that has the tools to put up a lot of points. Page was able to get big chunks of yards rushing the ball up the middle all night. Trevon Hester carried the ball 28 times for 240 yards and 3 TDs. Chipping in with another 80 yards from Jaleel Strader, and both QBs had 60 yards rushing total. Page controlled both sides of the line and that OL is really starting to gel and look nasty. Huge hats off to coach Robertson and Co. its very nice to see players develop out of no where and contribute. Early on NW was able to move the ball quite well, but Page put the clamps down and started putting pressure on the Vikings sophomore QB when they got down and abandoned the run altogether. Page was able to pick him off twice which proved to be momentum swings. If i heard right, NW had 3 total offensive snaps in the 3rd quarter. Page was able to sustain long drives where they fed the workhorse Hester capped off by TDs. The time of possession stat was very lopsided.
