Not making light. But, what happens for someone to decide 'ok! today's the day! this is it! i'm smoking meth today!'

Got to be hanging with the wrong crowd. I just cant see anybody going to get something like that to do by themselves for the first time. Wrong place wrong time wrong crowd.

So basically an ungroomed person that's hard to take seriously.

You're gonna get labeled a combover hater.

Slow down there hard charger. They have a couple of grad transfers on that DL. We don't know how "soft" they'll be, if at all. First step to a loss is to underestimate the opponent.

I too like confidence, but we've done nothing as a team yet to warrant being braggadocious.

They gave up 208 yards a game on the ground in the pass happy Big 12 and we’re gearing our entire offense for a power running attack.

I stand by what I said.

Thinking out loud on this, feel just the opposite. It adds that pooch strategy, or one similar, to the kick off. Sky the ball, focusing on hang time, and get your team under it. If you can't pin the offense back and play field position, then try to create turnovers with a jump ball. You don't have to use the kicking tee, right?

They would just fair catch it, and now there's no penalty to fair catch a short kick so it would be brought up to the 25. You can't jump ball a kickoff, if they fair catch it they have to be given space to catch it. That's why on onside kicks it's always bounced on the ground first

He could do both. Just saying who i think gets the first reps.

Maybe. But Bobcat's hair was kinda in a class of its own. I guess every time I see CDH he looks like he's on the back side of a multi-day bender.

 

[LA Vol]

yeah, i don't think we're far off at all. im a little more skeptical on how good our defense will actually match up. i agree on the size and physicality, but they're probably faster...does that negate our supposed advantage?

you hit the nail on the head though, if we can get the game to the point where depth does matter, even with our issues with depth, they seem to have bigger issues in that arena. so that could play a role, we'll just have to see if the game gets to a point where that matters........

I was more concerned about our secondary than our front 7, but now that our DBs are looking more reliable, I'm more optimistic. I think it'll be a close game, but I think we pull away late because we keep grinding and wear them down. Our physicality and deeper rotations will be a lot to overcome.

No question, their QB and WRs are excellent and will be a challenge to stop. We don't have a large margin for error. If Grier has time, throws all over us and we can't answer, the game could have a less-fun outcome.

Good running games keep high powered offenses off the field....

This is what I’m hoping for. And hopefully time of possession will be trending toward 34-35 minutes for the good guys

If we can control the pace of the game i love our chances to win. That’s basically not giving up big plays, busted coverages. Make them sustain drives. I don’t see them marching up and down the field on us as long as we keep stuff in front of us.

I think Mullen would love to have our QB problem/situation

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Gotta agree, we can't sell their run game short.

Against Virginia Tech, they rushed for 220 yards (6.31 ypc), and VT wound up being the 15th run defense in the country.
Against Iowa State, the 23rd best run defense, they rushed for 208 (4.43).
Even against Oklahoma, they ran for 250 (5.02).. OU obviously isn't known for their defense, but they still finished upper half nationally in run defense.

Yea, the back that carried the load last year is no longer there. The backs we will see are very improven...

If we make their run game a non-factor and allow the back-six or seven to play the pass consistently, we'll do okay.[/

Don't know what happened there, I quoted my reply and can't separate now. The inter web 1, me 0.

Just want to come in and say thanks to everyone for supporting us right now. @5FingerVolPunch @butchna @LaagerVol . it definitely helps right now. I've spent about 7 grand on it and owe the lawyer another thousand. Paying 500 a month right now which has put us very far behind. Y'all are helping so much though. I'm ready to finally be able to sit down and watch a game with the kids though.

Trying to find he wording to be certain, but if the kicking team touches the ball in flight it voids the fair catch. So if the kicking team can position themselves, giving appropriate yardage to the receiving player of course, yet jump and snag or smack the ball to their own team, then there is no option for a fair catch.

Thing is, I don’t know if our offense will be good enough to keep pace with theirs. And a lot of this comes down to red zone scoring, turnovers and the kicking game. I’m not saying we win. But I am damn sure we will be able to run the ball on them.

Barnett and Garrett are gonna have big years this year

Hope both stay healthy
