I'm interested in seeing the match up between Thiel's 9th ranked run defense (75.9 ypg) and BC's 9th ranked rushing offense (277.6). 
In my opinion for Thiel to successfully stop the run they must have Senior LB/Defensive Captain Tom Wozniak in the lineup.  This season Thiel has allowed only three teams to rush for 100 yds or more:
Blufftion- (101 yds) which was insignificant because they avg only 2.2 yds/carry
Waynesburg- (197 yds) Wozniak didn't play
CMU- (148 yds) Wozniak didn't play
Thiel's D can handle below avg, avg, or even above avg running teams with or w/o Wozniak, but against a great running team (WC,CMU, and BC) this young defense needs its Captain.
