Thoughts on UF?
I have watched a little bit of their games but not just a ton due to the UF/TN game being during ours.
Defensively,
I think our DL will have their way with the UF OL. Our DL will be the best they have seen this year.(I know KYs D-line played well but they aren't as good top to bottom as our front 4)
If and it's a big IF we don't shoot ourselves in the foot with dumb penalties on defense we should be able to handle UF's offense pretty good.
Our defense went up against Mullen's offensive scheme for several years in fall camps. They should have a pretty good idea of whats coming at them.
Offensively,
Not going to lie I am worried here. UF has some boy dogs on that DL. CeCe and co will have to be accounted for. They have some solid pass rushers up front and some athletic physical DBs.
I don't think they are quite as strong at LB as they are everywhere else on that defense.
They aren't very deep at the CB/S positions due to injury but they do have a couple of solid physical cover guys.
The way Todd Grantham dials up pressure worries me as we were atrocious last week at handling any pressure with any consistency and don't have the WRs to make them pay when bringing a ton of pressure.
I fully expect them to get after Fitz all night. It will be on Fitz to make quick decisions and our coaching staff to draw up some type of plan to handle the pressure and establish a running game.
I'm not really worried about Mullen knowing our personnel inside and out and think we have just as much of an advantage with our guys understanding exactly what it is Mullen and Grantham like to do. We are the more talented team on both sides of the ball just as we were last week, lets see if we can take advantage of that and get this thing headed back in the right direction. If we can win the next two we will be right back to where I thought we would be. Our defense will keep us in every single game we play this year. They kept us in the game last week too we just couldn't get any traction on offense.
I do think we bounce back and get a win in this one. I think we win a 24-17 type of game. I honestly wouldn't be surprised with any outcome though from us blowing them out to UF winning a close one.
The only thing I know for an absolute fact is that Davis Wade and Starkville will be rocking next Saturday and it should be the best atmosphere we have had in a while. I for one am looking forward to being in Starkville next weekend with fellow Dogs. Being a state fan is tough, we have had a lot more downs than ups over our history especially in football but man, those downs make the ups all the more enjoyable. Lets forget the KY game and do our part to help the dogs to another victory Saturday evening by creating a great game day atmosphere.
