onearmedscot- good point on the "awe" possibility

Although St. Olaf hasn't played in such a meaningfull game this late in the season in a long time, once the kickoff is air born and the pads pop, the Oles will get over any feelings of awe.  The senior leaders will make sure that the young contributors will be ready from the get go, because St. John's will be.  Especially after last years loss at St. Olaf.

Another piont. St. John's has great teams of upperclassmen on the field every year, but players don't usually see the field until they are juniors or seniors.  The likes of Gant, Schmiesing, Higgins, and St. John have played from the day they got to St. Olaf.  Considering that, the amount of game experience (minus blow out mins.) is similar.

St. Olaf has proved they are an elite team.  They should be ranked. Heres why, Coe is ranked and has played two teams the Oles have.  Coe struggled to beat St. Thomas (24-21), where as the Oles beat the Tommies 53-27.  Second Coe pulled out a close victory against Luther (14-10) and the Oles beat that same Luther team 37-13.

We all know the MIAC is a top conference and the Oles are perfect this far, that should be respected
