Pick your leaders for the USM game....

[CadaverDawg]

We'll have an official Score prediction thread next week, but in the meantime predict the following....

Who will be the leader in each of the following categories in game 1:

Rushing attempts -
Rushing yards -
Receptions -
Receiving yards -
Tackles -
Tackles for Loss -

Any other statistical items you'd like to predict?

I'll try to remember to bump this after the game to see who gets the most correct, and maybe we can give some vcash, or a stickied thread with weekly winners or something.

If Coman leads us in tackles against the buzzards it's going to be a long year.

Tackles - Richie Brown
Tackles for Loss - Chris Jones

The most difficult for me to pick is tackles because I think we will play a lot of people on defense and the leading tackler could be a nonstarter who plays a lot in the 2nd half. Could even be a db because they will be throwing a lot, especially in the 2nd half.

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

If Coman leads us in tackles against the buzzards it's going to be a long year.

The top 2 tacklers for Diaz last year were safeties, & I expect USM to be throwing a lot. Just a guess, but I wouldn't read much into it if it materialized.

Final Results:

Rushing attempts - Dak & Shump (8)

4/6 not bad.. Shumpert would've gotten the yards too had he not fumbled and gotten more carries.
